Dear Saints,
Praise God, it is hard to realize that it is already September, over half of the year is already gone by. I remember the word says that God will have to speed up time, in order to find faith in the last days. Look around you and see all that is coming to pass and know that God’s return is very close. Our county has become another Sodom and Gomora. I have never seen so many deaths in my life time as now. I am so glad that I belong to God and most of all He belongs to me.
I would like to remind everyone who is going through sickness and injuries and need healings of what the scriptures says to us.
I must admit that the enemy had encouraged me to pray silently, and I believed that God was going to heal me, but I listened to my message that I preached just after Brother Larry went to be with the Lord. I asked God did I really believe that word I preached now, then I listened to another message and realized the enemy had lulled me into a false security. I woke up and began to realize I needed to speak the word audible to bring it to pass. So, my message is to remind everyone else who might be going through the same thing. My message is the following:
Health and Healing
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. There is one thing for sure we do get weary, because the enemy makes sure to constantly speak to you that it will not happen. When we begin to claim the healing, we expect it to happen immediately and maybe our faith needs to be consistent about speaking the word, even when we feel the pain,
Romans 10:1 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. It is your heart that believes unto righteousness., but it is our mouth that makes the confession, just as receiving salvation. You did not see and maybe did not feel, yet you were saved, it is the same principle.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Just think about it, the power that you have with your tongue, life or death, it is up to you. We can either murmur and complain about out problem. But have the power over it, by speaking the positive word over you. Most people can only see their problem and cannot see or believe to keep speaking the word, which is mighty powerful as long as you keep looking and not seeing, you will give up before you receive.
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Saints, look at the power you have over the enemy, the same as Jesus has, nothing can harm us. The trials are to make us strong in the Lord and he is still there beside you, if you can believe it.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. This is the key, submit to God, resist the devil. This is war between you and the devil, who is going to win.
Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
It is how we speak sometimes that pierce the person. It is when we speak as a wise person that one is blessed, but sometimes, the truth hits us hard and we get, offended. I am sure there are times that I speak because I have been there and don’t want the person to continue in error, and I am sure the enemy did his work. I also apologize to anyone that has happened to, but I will not apologize for God’s word. He rebuked me for doing that,
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. If possible, get someone to pray and agree with you and believe for your healing, deliverance or whatever the need is.
John 14:12-24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. :15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
He is saying greater works will we do because he has gone to the Father. Whatsoever we ask the Father in the name of Jesus, he said he would do it so the Father would be glorified in his son. He said if we ask anything, that leaves nothing out except that which is not according to his word. There are conditions to that and it is if you love him and keep the commandment. He sent the Holy Ghost to abide in us so we would know the spirit of truth. Only those who know him and he dwells in them.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. When we read the word, it is the truth and if you apply it to your life, it will set you free of whatever it is that you need, but it must be constant every thought and every word you speak, whether you feel it or not, it doesn’t change the word of God. Keep declaring it until you really believe and have no doubt.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

PSALM 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation.

Dear Saints,
Another month of victory, even with all the trials that we are going through. Walking one day at a time with Jesus by our side. We as Christians are being tested and tried as never before. In meditating on God and his word and work, comes from mistakes that I have made by not asking God or doing what I think is right, only to find out I should have not been so quick to believe that it was God and thinking it was the enemy and not God. Yes, I have repented and know I have been forgiven, but I am still paying the price for not obeying God, at the time.
I remember Moses, the only man that God spoke to face to face, but his choice, even though forgiven kept him out of the promise land. We may not be kept out of the promise land, because of grace, we will still pay a price. We must obey at once, not later because, it will not get the same results. My message this month is giving of our selves.
Giving of Our Self
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. This is such a blessing and a promise to us, but it is not easy to give, when you are used to taking. God is expecting each one of us to give, out what he has given to each of us. He can only give to us, as we give. This is not just talking about the tithes, but about how much do we give of ourselves to each other. He is telling us, if we give little we will receive little. Again what or who comes first, before God.
Deuteronomy 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. Again if we give to God first, then he is obligated, to meet all of our needs according to His riches in glory. This is one thing I have learned, you can’t out give God. The blessing that he returns is not just finances, but blessing in every other way. He delights to bless his people.

Mattthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. He is speaking not to just preachers, but to every one of his disciples. Disciple means to discipline one’s self to follow Jesus. If we have the power, which comes with the Holy Ghost. If we are not doing this, we need to check ourself.
Proverbs 11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Listen to this, we will have no excuse. He wants to make us fat and well-watered, but we must be liberal in our giving, this is not just about money. I hear people say, I can’t afford to pay tithes, that is because tithes are left until the last, when you have run out of money. That needs to be paid before anything else is paid, then you will not run out of money.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. He is saying, it is purposed in one’s heart to give willingly, not because you have to. He wants everything given with joy. Praise God in all things, even the pain; or the trial, that one is going through. We want to escape, not go through. There is no going around, under, or over, but going through.
Leviticus 27:30-31 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. 31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
When we hold on to our tithes, which is 25% of the amount additionally to be right, with God. that is $20.00 per hundred. This is very important to God and tithes was established back in Abraham’s time.
Malachi 3:8-10 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Saints, look at what God is saying, if you are not paying tithes and offerings, you are robbing God. This is not if we want to or not. It is a must or you are cursed with a curse. If you do, you will be blessed by God. There is no if, ands, or buts, about it. It is His law. I have never gone through anything, that God has not provided. That is not just talking about money.
Proverbs 22:9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. If we have the grace and love to give unto God, there is no doubt that we will be blessed. There have been times, that I could hardly wait to bless someone. I could have used the money for me, but such joy comes from God. There are also times when I am so tired, I don’t think I have it in me to pray, But God comes in and by the time I am finished, I have been refreshed and ready to go again So I am not just talking about money, that is one thing, but giving of your self is another. There is always joy in surrendering yourself to God.

Isaiah 58:10-14 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Listen to the above, doing what God is saying also brings a delight in the Lord. The word delight also in scripture 14 means to be pliable in his hands. He is saying to do what he wants, is a delight to him. Look at all of the promises in these scriptures that he has promised. You cannot out give him. We get in trouble, because we want to do what we want and not what God wants. It will always wind up as a curse.
Mark 4:24-25 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
We need to check ourselves, are we measuring out abundantly or just what can get us by. Sometimes we are like the dead sea. Always taking in, but never giving out. We become dead like the dead sea. The dead sea has so many minerals to give, but they just lie there. Nothing below the sea, because it has no outlet.
I pray this will encourage everyone to give more of themselves to the work of the Lord, and know that I am not asking for your money, I am just trying to make one understand the consequences of giving or not giving, of yourself or your money.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Dear Saints,
Praise God, once more he has kept us safe and sound from all the enemies of the Lord. There has been bad weather all around us, but we are safe. It rained so hard twice that I could not see our neighbor’s house next to us. About twenty miles away where we shop at Costco, the hail was the size of a baseball, which did much damaged to not only cars, but to homes.
God is our keeping power and our shield in time of trouble, but it is the peace and calm that he gives to us at the time.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. I want to break this down:
· Covetous: Greedy of what belongs to another person
· Boasters: Bragging and praising oneself
· Proud: Think too well of oneself
· Blasphemers: Speak with abuse or contempt
· Unthankful: Do not appreciate anything
· Unholy: Wicked or lack of fear
· Trucebreakers: Breaking peace
· False Accusers: Finding fault or crime
· Incontinent: Without self-constraint
· Fierce: Raging or violent
· Despisers: Feel contempt for someone or thing
· Traitors: Betray a trust, duty or friend
· Heady: Hasty or rash
· High minded: High principle, feeling proud
This is where we are today in our society, and I am speaking of the people who call themselves Christians. We need to check to see if we are any of these.
2 Timothy 4:3-5 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
As I said, we are truly in this time. Most everyone, Christians as well, want to live their own lives, do their own thing and want to still be call a Christian and the enemy truly has them believing his lies. We want to think that God does it all. No he does his part, but we also must do as the word says is our part. Living a holy life, not in words but in our lives. No one can work their way in by doing good works and neglecting their holiness.
2 Timothy 3:10-14 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
Praise God, we know that we are not going to please everyone. If we did we would not be able to please God. When God speaks to us, sometimes it is hard to obey, because we want peace. God did not come to make peace, but to divide his children from those who thank they hear God’s voice, but have not died to themselves. This will bring trouble, but God is with us. We will always have to chose sometime who comes first in our life. With some it is their wife or husband, job, crafts, or whatever is the first in your life.
I look back on life and I see where people have let down on being faithful to God or faithful to something else and later the price comes high. God will not take second place, so one can do what they do. God and obedience has to come first. We may not see at the time that is was not so little in God’s eyes, but there will always be a price one must pay. It is written in our book what must be and that depends on us, because God already knows the answer. We all have to be tried to be made in his image.
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. This is why we must watch and pray continually, the enemy is always looking for a weak place in our armour to penetrate, our spirit is always willing, but our flesh is given place because it is weak.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. He is telling us to be sober, watchful, because as I said the enemy never gives up. He is like that hunter who is looking for a big buck to kill as his trophy. Never satisfied until he gets it. To him we are a big trophy to hang on the walls of hell.
1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Listen to what he is saying, watch at all times, stand strong in the faith and keep your eyes on Jesus. He would not tell you to be strong if you could not do it. Sometimes that will cause trouble for you, because the enemy does not want you to be firm for God.
2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
This something I want to make clear, he is saying, not an apostle but Jesus, purge yourselves. He is not going to do it for you, because he has done all he can do for you, now we must do our part. We can be faithful in praying and reading our word, but if we don’t change and we have to have our own way, then it is not from the heart, but a ritual. So many pray and never change, because it is not from the heart. It is strictly to look spiritual,
I know people who pray a lot, but you never see a change in their life, they are still the same as before. I have tried to tell them if nothing changes in them, then it is from their mouth and not their heart. They become as a foolish virgin, who God will turn away.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Dear Saints,
Thank you, Jesus for another time to praise him for his great work and mercy to his children. I have seen God’s mercy and his grace at work. I cannot praise him enough for his goodness to me. I was able to see a video of a Venezuela parade of 30,000 people walking the streets shouting Jesus and praising God and waving flags for Jesus and hearing them preach in a communist country. The Lord even allowed me to pray for the Pastor. God is so good, I really got excited, to see the move of God that he has promised. We must stay close to God, so that God can use us.
Abiding in the Ship
Acts 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Most people know the story of Paul and his experience with the sinking of the ship. He knew God was with them, but he had to remind them, that they had to remain in the ship to be saved, even when the ship was sinking. They finally stayed and everyone was saved, even though they went through the hard places of water, that seemed to over flow them, God had a purpose for the island that they were stranded on, just as he has a plan for you, if you stay in the ship, JESUS CHRIST.
John 15:4-10 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that with in the veil.
Page 2
In this scripture, Jesus is saying the same thing. He is the (ship) vine that ye must abide in to be protected and be used of him. So many want to be used of God, but without discipline of what He wants. We pray but, have already made up our mind. Example: we pray for a mate, then Satan sends someone who really appeals to our flesh, we don’t pray until we get the answer, if they are from God. That’s what we want, so we, believe that it is God, because we have already made up our mind. In the end we blame God, not the enemy or our flesh. That is how the enemy works and if we are not abiding in him completely, we will be in-effective for God. We must love the Son, as he loves the Father and kept his commandments. We want to believe we can’t be as he is, because after all we are just humans. I have the DNA of Jesus so I have the power to be like him.
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. He has given us a new and living way to live, not a carnal way, but to live in the spirit so that we are instant in and out of season. When I was young in the spirit I always heard the old Christians say, let’s pray before we go to pray for the problem, someone could die in that time. We must be ready at all times, even if we don’t feel the best, God will still hear our voice.
Psalms 91:1-11 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (3) Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. (4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; (6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. (7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. (8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. (9) Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; (10) There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. (11) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Think about what he is saying; You can dwell in the secret place of the most High and under the shadow of the Almighty. He is my refuge and my fortress, He is my God in whom I trust. He will deliver me from the fowler and any noisome pestilence. He covers me with his feathers and under his wings I will trust him to be my shield and buckler. I have no reason to fear or even for the arrow that Satan shoots at me. No pestilence that walks in darkness or any destruction that wasteth at noonday. The Lord removes any body that comes neigh unto me. I will see the reward of the wicked, because I trust him and have made him my refuge. There is nothing of evil that can come near me. He has given me angels to cover me and to keep me in all his ways. Praise God, what a promise if I trust him.
Psalms 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. He is telling us, if our heart is fixed on him, we will have nothing to worry about. That is all I need to know.
Psalms 125:1-2 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. (2) As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Look at this, we shall be as Mt. Zion, that cannot be removed, we can abide forever, because the LORD is around us forever. That makes me excited to know that God loves us, as himself.
Page 3
Proverbs 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
He is telling us very plainly, that if we listen to him we will dwell safely and have no fear. Period.
Isaiah 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Praise God, this is talking about us. We will dwell in high places in him and he will be our defense we will have bread (food) and our water shall be sure, because he is our defense in the natural and in the spiritual. The Word and Holy Ghost to feed us spiritually.
Isaiah 43:1-2 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. (2) When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
He is saying to you, he has created you and formed you and redeemed you, you have nothing to fear, because you belong to him, he has called you by his name. He is telling you that when you go through these trials, that He is with you and the waters will not overflow you. Even when you walk through the fire he is with you and it cannot consume you, but it will purify you.
If you can believe this letter, you will never be defeated, because your eyes are upon the Lord. I pray this will cause you to be that overcomer that he says you can be.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Dear Saints,
I praise God, once again for His faithfulness and care in these last days, that are coming up. I have been reading old prophesy’s that were given back in the 1900’s, to different preachers and prophets and what God gave them, is now coming into full bloom. All this weather is what was spoken by them and million are going to die from famine, floods, earth quakes, storms and all this weather that is happening has never been like this before. People say oh I have heard that for years, well lookout it is here. We are still having snow and very cold weather. Look at what is happening around the world. That is why I am speaking about our salvation
God of My Salvation
Micah 7:5-8 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. 7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Notice; Micah is saying guard yourself, from family and friends, because your family can be your enemies. He said I will look unto the Lord and wait, for God is my salvation and he will hear me The word says to not rejoice against me when I fall because, I shall arise. It may look like I have lost, but God will arise and fight my battle. The LORD is my light and my defense, as he said to me years ago, keep your eyes on me, and you will not fall.

Psalms 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
If Jesus could not trust some of his friends, we must be cautious about who we trust and rely on. Do they walk the walk or do they just talk. Where is their power and authority? There is no power in the word. The power is in God’s children, who walk the word. 1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. The enemy can quote God’s word.
Matthew 10:21-31 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
It is those that endure to the end of the battle which shall be saved. The disciple is not above his master or lord, but must be as his master and lord. There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known. We are seeing this played out every day in the natural, how much more in the spirit. This is why I tell people that discernment is the most important gift. With it you will not be deceived. The very elect will be deceived if possible. If we are with God and have discernment we cannot be deceived. That is why the enemy does not like the true disciples. It is because they are not deceived for very long or at all. We are not to fear the ones who can kill the body, It is Satan that can kill the body and soul, by using people that are supposed to be the ones of God. The ones who serve God with a pure heart, not for fame, glory or money, will be the ones who will have the power and be protected by God.
Act 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. Praise God! We can also rejoice in God that we are worthy to suffer shame, for His name and his work.
2 Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. Just think even when we are sorrowful, we can rejoice; even if we think we are poor and we are not, because we possess all things, if we believe what we speak. God cannot deny what we truly believe, according to the word, not doubting anything, because all things are possible with God.
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy
Page 3
My friends, why do you think it strange because of the trials you are going through, He said, you must suffer with him, if you are going to reign with him. You can go through believing that he will take you through or you can suffer and let the enemy know that he is succeeding in fighting you. When God has revealed his glory, we can rejoice because his glory will be in us also. I wouldn’t take anything for my journey, that God has taken me through, and I don’t regret one mile that I have walked with the Lord.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. I love this scripture, because of the promise.
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
I praise God, for this scripture, because I know that through all of my trials, I know that my faith is not in man, but in Jesus Christ and that what the word says is true, regardless of what man may say or preach. I go to the word for my confirmation, so that what I am doing or saying is coming from the word.
Psalms 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Just think, God has set you apart for himself, if you are godly and he will answer when you call. So many think they are ready, but they have not parted from the ungodly, and do not stand for the godly, they will miss out in the end. When we stand with the ungodly, we will stand before the Lord on that day and He will say depart from me, I never knew you. You cannot love sin into heaven.
Psalms 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. I am so glad that I can call on him when things are not going right and he hears my cry, and lets me know that it is his battle and not mine, and he gives me peace.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. I am so thankful that I know God and His Spirit, that lives in me and I know that he answers my prayer and fights my battles. I don’t live in fear, because God is my shield and deliverer and most of all my salvation. Whatever happens is his will if I am his.
Job 13:15-16 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. Oh praise God, the devil may try to slay me, but I am in the protection of my Lord and unless it is God’s will, he cannot, because of God’s word. That is why we must have a clean heart before God, so the enemy has no right to us or our family. We can’t just talk the word we must live the word, pure and holy.
Psalms 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Even when one should fall, if they are truly repentant before God, he does not let them lay there. He will lift them up. So many make mistakes and then try to justify their actions, instead of truly
Page 4
repenting, this causes one to sin again, instead of being free. When we don’t repent we will always blame someone else for our error.
If God is truly your salvation, you will give him time every day, not just with the word, but genuine prayer and repentance, making sure you are in the right place. So many are so involved with friends and families they make excuse for not doing God’s will.
So, I am closing with this question. Who is first in your life? Is it the Lord or is it something or someone else? Whatever comes first, is your God. This is not my word. Go to the Bible and find out for yourself. On that day, we will not have anyone to blame, but ourselves. This is a personal salvation, no one but you can be involved. God has given us the power through the Holy Ghost to be more than a conqueror.
God knows what is written in our book. Have we or will we try to fulfil all that is written. I look back on my life and see God has given me his word to teach. All I ever wanted was to teach and have a large family. He gave me both, but in the spirit. He was the one who placed that desire in me. Not my will, but thine be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Dear Saints,
Greetings in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and our soon coming King. It has been a very cold winter, which does not seem to be over yet. Just had snow again a couple of days ago. We have not had very much moisture this year. The trees are just beginning to bear leaves and I have had no signs of roses yet. I so appreciate that God saw us through on redoing our home, it is much warmer.
Our Spiritual Weapons
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
We have the ability to cast down imaginations and everything thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of God and we must bring every thought into obedience to Christ. We must know the word in order to be able to do this, and bringing every thought into obedience of Christ, being ready to revenge all disobedience when it is fulfilled..
Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Page 2
If we put on the whole amour of God, we will be able to withstand anything the enemy throws at us. Praise God, this is not a physical battle, but a war with Satan and his principalities. Powers of rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. As I said, not a part of the armor, but the whole armor. The weapons are truth, righteousness and our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of truth. Our shield of faith to quench all of the fiery darts of the wicked. Our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. The word is the face of God.
These are your weapons: Truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword (word) of the Spirit, and praying always. Notice he has not given you anything to cover your, eyes, ears, and mouth. We must be careful what we watch, what we listen to and what comes out of our mouth. That is our part of Salvation.
1Thessolians 5:8-9 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The armor consists of being sober (clear thinking) breastplate of faith and love , the helmet (head) salvation. God has appointed us to salvation.
The head is gold. Immorality, we are the head and not the tail. The breast plate, silver, salvation redeeming ourselves. If we get these two items, we will receive the brass, which is judgement of ourselves according to the word. Then comes the iron in the legs, The stability of the church. You should be able to not bend to the wiles of the world or Satan. Many of God’s people have clay mixed in with their iron and will crumble in the end.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
By now we should have a sound mind, because God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind, to reject Satan and his works,
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Praise God, his word is quick and sharper than any two edged sword. The word is your greatest defense, it will pierce even to dividing, your soul and spirit and the joints and marrow, (marrow is what is inside of the bones) and the discerner of your thoughts and heart. Discernment is the greatest of gifts, not only for oneself but, you can decern others and their intents.
Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for.
We are saved by hope (faith), if you see it; it is no longer something to hope or believe for.
Page 3
Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.
It is impossible for God to lie, so we might have a strong consolation, if we flee for refuge to lay hold upon the hope he has set before us.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God over 1 cometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
If you are born of God (filled with the Holy Ghost), you will overcome the world and that is our victory, overcoming by faith. If you are not overcoming the world maybe it is because you have not totally surrendered to God.
Psalms 44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
This is our power, we will push down our enemies through his name (Jesus) and we will tread them under that rise up against us. In his name everything will happen.
Romans 8:35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, no tribulation, destress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril or sword. Even in times of death, nor in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him because he loves us. We are the only ones (self) who can separate us, and that is by disobedience or sin.
Psalms 105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
This says it all. Seek the Lord, his strength and his face for everything (Hiis face is the word of God), because Jesus is the word, and you will find the promises.
Proverbs 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
The knowledge of wisdom will be upon your soul, and when you have found it, there will be a reward and your expectation will not be cut off, but you will receive what you are expecting.
Psalms 62:5-8 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Page 4
David told us to wait on God, your expectation is actually from him, because he is our rock and salvation, our defense, if we are not moved away. All of this is in God. Trust him at all times, pour out your heart to him, because he is our refuge, and everything we need or seek for.
At this time of Easter, we have so much to be thankful for, so rejoice and be glad for our redemption is drawing near. This is a time to remember His day of resurrection and we can know that we have one as well.
I have enclosed a story, I received a few years back, I pray you take it to heart.
MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER WITH CHRIST.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

Who Will Take the Son?
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Viet Nam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock on the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, “Sir, you don’t know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart, and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.
The young man held out his package. “I know this isn’t much. I’m not really a great artist, but I thank your son would have wanted you to have this.” The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. “Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It’s a gift.”
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home; he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected. The man died a few months later.
There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection. On the platform sat the painting of the son.
The auctioneer pounded his gavel. “We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?” There was silence. Then a voice in the back of the room shouted. “We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one. “But the auctioneer persisted. “Will someone bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?” Another voice shouted angrily. “We didn’t come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!” But still the auctioneer continued. “The son! The son! Who’ll take the son?”
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the nan and his son. “I’ll give $10 for the painting.” Being a poor man, it was all he could afford. “We have $10, who will bid $20? “Give it to him for $10. Let’s see the masters.” “$10 is the bid, won’t someone bid $20?”
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn’t want the picture of the son. They wanted the more worthy investment for their collections. The auctioneer pounded the gavel. “Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!” A man sitting on the second row shouted. “Now let’s get on with the collection!”
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. “I’m sorry, the auction is over.” What about the paintings?” “I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. The man who took the son gets everything!”
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on a cruel cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is, “The son, the son, who’ll take the son?” Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

Dear Saints,
A new month and so much going in this world, surely the signs of the end times. So much of Revelations are being fulfilled now and I believe God is getting ready to turn things upside down. This is the time to renew our covenant with God. We need to stay close to God, because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. It is so easy to miss God, if don’t cling tight to him and stay in his word with prayer. I want to encourage you to renew yourself to him. So many times, we think we are doing things for God and then find out that we have been wrong.
Be Renewed
Ephesians 4:23-24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians is telling us to be renewed in the spirit of our mind, then we will put on the new man, that is in God’s righteousness and true holiness. We are not right, if we do not have God’s righteousness. It has to be in alignment with God’s word.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. He is saying, we are complete in him, because we have the Holy Ghost, his DNA and that makes us complete in him. You need nothing else if you are walking in complete obedience to him.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Are you not glad, that it is not what we do but what God does through us. Praise God, his mercy saves us by washing of regeneration by his word and continually speaking in the Holy Ghost, will cause us to be renewed, for he leads us into all truth. The following scripture says it.
Page 2
Ephesians 5:26-27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. The water is the word of God, and if we allow the Word, which is Jesus, to lead us and cleanse us, He will have a glorious church to present to the Father. We can and will be without spot, wrinkle, blemish and we will be holy.
Some people say you can’t be that way, because we are just humans, no we are more than conquerors. We are different, with the power of God to do his will, if we so decide to, if not we will not make it . We will be like the five foolish virgins. With the Holy Ghost we have the same power that Jesus has, if we live the overcoming life of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you. God has given us the power to forgive and be clean in our heart and spirit, which will cause us to love those who have hurt or betrayed our trust. As we do we will abound in love for others. It is not enough to say I forgive, because if we keep bringing it back up, the sting is still there, meaning the hurt is still there, meaning we are not dead to it.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen. He is telling us to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He would not tell you to do something that you cannot do, if it were impossible.
Proverbs 2:3-5 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. There is the condition of growing. Cry out for his knowledge and lift up your voice in understanding. You must do it as if you were searching for silver and hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and you will have his knowledge.
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. Are you risen with Christ? If you are, then you must seek those things that are above where Christ sitteth. He says we are sitting in high places in Christ Jesus. Believe it, do it and see what will happen in your life.
Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. We need to ask God continually to create a new heart and a right spirit in us. This tells us that we are born with a wrong spirit, which has to be renewed.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. So many people are conformed to this world and have never been transformed to God’s way. The word has to transform us by the renewing of God’s word, so that we may be proved, in what is good and acceptable, and the perfect will of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. Praise God, even as this outer man perishes, we can know that the inner man is renewed every day.
Page 3
We have the four pillars to stand on, these are justice, holiness, truth, and grace. This is what it takes to be pleasing and acceptable to God.
We can know that the promises of God will come forth as he has said, according to Amos 9:11-15.
Amos 9:11-15 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. 13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.

February 2025
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.
Page 2
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 oldest daughter is character. Some of the sisters are cheerfulness, loyalty, care, courtesy, economy, sincerity, and harmony.
The baby is opportunity.

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.
