Dear Saints,
Thank God, for his mercy and grace on his children. When I look around, I see so many live the way they want to live and still think they will make it into the kingdom. Some say, you are judgmental, but so was Jesus, as far as how we are to live. We cannot be part of any laws that break God’s commandment, and say we are under grace. Grace is given to keep us from sin, not in sin and think we are going to make it. That is why I want to write about our success in God. It is not our works; it is our obedience to live free from sin.
The Price for Success
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
The book of the law, is so important to study, so that we can mediate on the word day and night, then we will not have time to think on carnal things of this world. The more we stay in the word, the more we come out of the worldly things, which pull a person away from God. Then when Satan whispers in our ear, we can know what is right and what is wrong. When we listen to Satan and make mistakes, we then try to justify what we have done, we become defensive. Then if we are not careful, we will make another mistake, then the devil has a right to condemn us.
Deuteronomy 26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
God has commanded us to abide by his statues and judgements. It does not matter what good intentions you may have, it is not according to the word, it will not be accepted by God. This is not my word, but the words from God’s word, not what man may think or do.

1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Samuel summed it all up, when he asked if God has a delight in your offerings and sacrifices, more than obeying God’s word. It is better to obey God’s word, than make your own sacrifices, even though it sounds good, one will pay in the long run.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Listen to what Jesus said, just because we call him Lord, does not mean we will make it. Let us go to Moses, who God spoke to, face to face, because he disobeyed God’s word, he could not go over into the promise land. That is like us, we have mercy if we listen, but if we do not do a Godly repentance it will be the same as with him. This man was the one God spoke to face to face. If he didn’t make it , how will we make it? You say well we live under grace. Yes, but that does not give us the right to go back and sin, because we now have the Holy Ghost to lead us into all truth. We sin because we refuse to spend time with the Lord and don’t listen to his tug on our hearts or listen to his warning. You may say, well I didn’t hear him, then it is because you are not listening to him. He is always speaking to us, it is we, who are not listening.
Luke 8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
Praise God, we can be sure that we are of God’s family, by how we walk before God. It is those who do the will of God, such as obedience not just listening, but doing that makes you a child of God. He will not make you do anything that you do not want to do, but that one will pay the price, just as the foolish virgins did. It is those who have the work that they want to do, that he will say to them, depart from me ye workers of iniquity
Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
He is saying, OBEY MY VOICE and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people and ye shall walk in his ways. Then it will be well with you.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
What he is saying is that ye have received the truth and did not love it. Therefore you will not be saved and for that reason he will send strong delusions, that ye would believe a lie. I say, look at so many of the so called big preachers and see what they preach and believe a lie. It is all about money, not about the true word of God. There will be no reason or excuse, when the time comes to stand before God.

The father of success is named work. The mother of success is named ambition. The oldest son is common sense, and some of the boys are called stability, perseverance, honesty, thoughtfulness, forthright, enthusiasm, and co-operation.
The oldest daughter is character. Some of the sisters are cheerfulness, loyalty, care, courtesy, economy, sincerity, and harmony.
The baby is opportunity.
Get acquainted with the “old man” and you will be able to get along with all of the rest of the family.
I read this some time ago and decided to keep it and it was in my papers that I have and decided to use it. I do not know who the author is.
I do pray, that this message will inspire you to follow after God’s word and his ways, more than before, because our time is running out.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Dear Saints,
Praise God, for our soon coming King. When we look around us, we can see the fulfilling of God’s word. If we believe the Word, we can see all of the signs of his coming with no guessing. It seems as if everything is turned upside down. We must stay close to the Lord and let him guide us.
I believe everyone of God’s children are going through things they have never gone through before. There is a lot of sickness hitting his children. We must stand on his word and believe it is for a short time. I know it has been one thing after the other with me, but at the same time he is answering prayers so quickly.
This time I would like to talk about a simple, but profound message which is to help one receive life.
Jesus Our Resurrection and Life
This is to resurrect from being dead and coming alive to life. This is not just talking about Jesus, but to each of us, we go through a death to self and rise in the likeness of Jesus Christ
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. This was not a physical death, but it was a spiritual death, they no longer had the communion with God as before. They did die physically the first day, because a day of the Lord is one thousand years of our time and they did die a few years before the full day of the Lord was completed.
Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth. Even as Adam died under the Lord’s time, the longer the time passed the years became fewer because of sin. They could not be redeemed, but we are promised God’s goodness and deliverance from our darkness and sin.
2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. Praise God, we live in a time that Jesus has abolished death and brought us life and immorality through the gospel. Not everyone has had the chance that we have.

Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. The people who sat in darkness and the shadow of death saw the great light and just as today some chose not to believe, because it went against their doctrine.
Luke 23:44-46 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
There came a time that even those who would not believe had to believe what they saw. When he gave up the ghost. Even with this, there were those who chose to try and keep it from happening. It will be the same in the day that the Lord comes for his body of people. The enemy will keep them from believing or it will be too late to change. Remember the five foolish virgins, it was too late for them.
Luke 24:1-12 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
When he arose, the enemy was still at work to keep the people from believing, but that was when God multiplied himself many times, to do greater works than he did. Many people will not believe even when the Lord returns, because they want to do their own thing. Only those that walk in obedience will make it in. His own disciples had to see to believe, until the Holy Ghost came into them. They had to literally receive the Holy Ghost, to do what they were called to do.
1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison. He was so just, that he went and preached to the spirits in prison and they believed.
Matthew 27:52-53 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. When he ascended, the graves were opened and the saints which slept arose also after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. His victory over death.
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. When he arose he had the keys to hell and death. Satan can no longer control God’s children, unless we allow him to through disobedience.

John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? I like to think about this, never dying, if we believe what he says. He will resurrect us into his likeness, Praise God, that is what the Holy Ghost is all about, being led by God’s Spirit. Listen to what he is saying to Nicodemus in the next verse.
John 3:3-7 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Many people are taught that when they get saved they receive the Holy Ghost. People in the time after the resurrection ask, have you received since you believed. The disciples were breathed on by Jesus for the Holy Ghost, so they could pray for the people, but they had to be in the upper room physically to receive the tongues on the day of Pentecost. You must speak in an unknown tongue to receive the Holy Ghost. Just as he told Nicodemus, the word is the water and the Spirit is the Holy Ghost. Without either one, you have no power. According to the word there is no power in the word, it must be in you to bring forth the power This is the birth right of God’s children. Please don’t miss it if you don’t have it or you will become like Esau.
Genesis 25:30-34 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Esau cried, when he realized he had not only lost his birthright, but also all of the blessings that went with it, and God despised Esau, because he did not consider his birthright. He sold it for a little pottage of lentils.
Genesis 27:35-37 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? 37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
God loved Jacob, because he wanted that birthright, even if he had to use subtilty. The enemy is the one who uses subtilty to take our birthright away from us, God’s children. He hates us because we are a part of God’s family and he never was nor will never be.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus came that we might have him in the fullness. Satan has come to each of us to steal, kill, and to destroy us. Jesus says, we can have life abundantly. This is why so many of God’s children have no power to fight the enemy, because they think they have the Holy Ghost because that is what they are taught. If you do not speak in tongues you do not have the Holy Ghost. That is your evidence that you have it.
1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. The Son is the one who sent the comforter, the Holy Ghost and he says if you have him then you have life. If you don‘t have the Holy Ghost, then you are walking without life
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Praise God, the Spirit of God will quicken your mortal body, from death to life.
Romans 6:3-7 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
When we are baptized in the Holy Ghost we are to take part of his death and resurrect into a new person, crucifying our flesh. The baptism of water is to signify that we went under as one person and come up as a new person. If we are dead to self, we will walk in obedience to God’s word.
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. It is the word that will condemn a person. We will try to stand on the word, but the word is what will condemn us.
Ephesians 2:1-7 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
We walked according to our course of this world which was of disobedience, lust, lying and fulfilling the lust of our flesh. God in his great love for his children, was willing to pay the price of shedding his blood to atone for us, that we may have the quickening power to be saved from ourselves. He wants everyone to know his blessings and his power to set free and have a new life.

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Here he is saying, if you are risen, that means having his Spirit, The Holy Ghost, then seek the things above, where Christ sitteth, at the right hand of God. That is what the Holy Ghost has come to do, to bring us into the presence of God. According to the word, if you don’t speak in tongues, then you are not born again. Good works and right living will not get you into the kingdom of God. As he told Nicodemus. You must be filled with the word and the Spirit to make it into the kingdom.
You may possibly make it to paradise, but that is not the kingdom of God. That is not access to the Father. If you do not believe what I am preaching, then you should get your bible and study and ask Jesus if this is his word or not. If it is his word, then ask him to fill you with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. You do not have to beg or tarry, if you are ready and believe, you will receive.
John 6:35 I am the bread of life:
Joh 8:12 I am the light of the world:
Joh 10:7-9 , I am the door of the sheep:
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd:
Joh 11:25 I am the resurrection, and the life:
Joh 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life:
Joh 15:1-6 I am the true vine:
Easy to give to God, but hard to give up to God. Give to God your whole being.
Again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.
