Healing and Deliverance Short Sermon and Prayer Video

 

I hope this helps you! The Holy Ghost had me record this just a short time ago.

The Enormity of Jesus Christ

Jesus literally is: “ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev. 1:8) (KJV)

Jesus Christ is the beginning and the ending.

Think about that.

It is more complex than you think. Humans are three-dimensional beings. The fourth dimension is Time. The fifth dimension is really complicated and, well, Google what scientists say about matter and anti-matter. But, the sixth dimension is the Spiritual Realm, which the physical realm is built on. The Spiritual Realm is far more real than the physical realm I once heard a preacher say, and he’s right.

And, the seventh dimension is...

Jesus Christ, The Father and the Holy Spirit.

God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit created all the other dimensions (Genesis 1). But, since Jesus is not affected by time, only the earth and humans are, Jesus exists in the past, the present and the future (as we understand time). Jesus is beyond time and not affected by it at all. There is nothing beyond Jesus. He is the beginning and the ending. Jesus was before Time and after Time (called eternity).

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:3) (KJV)

Everything was made by Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit.

We can’t even see from one end of the universe to other, but Jesus Christ is bigger than literally the heavens. Jesus literally is everywhere, in every moment that has ever existed and even more than that. Jesus can literally hold planets in his hand. But, even bigger than that Jesus holds all creation in the palm of His hand.

You see, Satan is nothing compared to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Satan isn’t even as big as a grain of sand in a hurricane with regards to God. In the end, Christians are going to see Satan and say, as J.D. Farag put it, “This is the guy? You’re kidding, right? LOL”

Satan has power, but he and his demonic hordes are nothing compared to Jesus Christ. Jesus was twenty steps ahead of Satan in everything, and, want the truth, Satan does God’s bidding and is only allowed to operate in the darkness (called a human’s ignorance).

God is Holy and Judgement is Coming to the World

“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31) (KJV) Soon, and very soon, Jesus is no longer going to be Grace and peaches and cream. He first came as the Lamb of God so that we might have salvation instead of eternal damnation. Soon, and very soon, Jesus is going to be the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Jesus opens the judgements in Revelation. And, at the great white throne judgement, all will stand before Jesus Christ and be Judged by the Word and some will hear, “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness” from Matthew 7:23)

At the end, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). And, at the end, every person sentenced to hell for all eternity will have to admit their sentence was righteous and just. No one is responsible for your salvation or damnation, but you. God never trusts any human with giving you a shot at salvation. The Holy Spirit does all that, not any Christian. People will make excuses like, “well, Jesus, they didn’t like me...” There will be NO excuses at the Great White Throne Judgement. Jesus will ever know you or he won’t. You will either be saved or damned.

Are you ready for eternity?

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Rev. 16:15 (KJV)

“Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Matt. 24:41-42. (KJV)

We are at the end. That great getting up morning, called the Rapture, could happen at any time. The world is ripe for the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation. You don’t want to be here for God’s judgement and wrath poured out on mankind.

You are God's prized possession and Satan HATES YOU! Honestly, has Satan ever done anything for you? Really? Nope, not one thing! Jesus, on the other hand, has paved the way for us with complete and utter victory over everything, especially Satan and his ilk. When Jesus died on the Cross, he took away the sin of the world. We only have to repent and ask Jesus into our heart to be born again.

Do you want to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, or burn for all eternity?

This is the most important question you will ever answer. Nothing is even remotely important as your answer to this question.

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."
           
Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit." In these dark times, you need the Holy Spirit right after getting saved.

Amen and Hallelujah.

A Warning

 Warning for the World:
I trust Tony Lamb and his dreams. Anyway, one recently, which the Spirit bore witness to with a rarely felt fervency, said the Holy Spirit spoke one word to him, “Tekel.”And, watching JD Farag’s Bible Prophecy update today, and he referenced it with regards to the world.

Tony Lamb's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EPFajYsE5c

www.JDFarag.org

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” (Daniel 5:25) (KJV) King Belshazzar got this writing on a wall during one of his feasts. He summoned his astrologers and they could not read it. So, he summoned Daniel and he interpreted it as:

“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians” (Daniel 5:26-28) (KJV)

And, King Belshazzar’s knees started knocking with fear. Judgement was coming just like Judgement is coming to this world. And, the sword fell switftly and what the Holy Spirit wrote on the wall happened.

I believe it is about to get real and get real really quick.

I said to God in January 2020, “God, the world looks great. The economy is booming under Trump, things are looking great.” Then, God gave me a Scripture (for 2020 and then for 2021 in December 2020), “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1 Thess. 5:3) Covid-19 hit not long after. Did you see the ugly statue the U.N. put up? Looks like the beast Daniel described that comes forward at the beginning of the Tribulation.

The Hope for the Believer:
“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.” (Isaiah 54:10) (KJV)

The Holy Spirit just popped the Scripture where Jesus says he’ll take care of his flock. Those not Christians, real Christians, are on their own.

And, of course, the one he gave me the other day...

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Rev. 16:15) (KJV)

Jesus comes as a thief both in the Rapture and the Second Coming. No man knows the day or the hour. (Matt. 24:36) Jesus is at the door. His appearance is almost nigh. The Return of the King, the real King, is imminent. Right now, Jesus is peaches and cream. But, when the Rapture happens, the earth will tremble, the waves will roar and the trumpets will sound. Last winter (2020), I heard a lone trumpet in my spirit. I don’t know why. But, it was one blow of a trumpet. I believe it was a warning of things to come.

Now, YOU can go in the Rapture, too!

We are at the end. That great getting up morning, called the Rapture, could happen at any time. The world is ripe for the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation. You don’t want to be here for God’s judgement and wrath poured out on mankind.

Economic Destruction is Coming

I was a kid in the 1970s and remember the effects of stagflation and the expensive mortgages and the economic malaise. There were gas lines and you could only buy so much gas and only on certain days. I learned real quick Jimmy Carter was the worst president in modern times with an absolutely incompetent administration. Then, there was the Iran Hostage Crisis Carter fumbled with his usual incompetence. California Governor Ronald Regan promised to fix the mess of Carter and he won the presidency in a landslide over Jimmy Carter. It took him four years to turn America around with lower taxes, less regulation and a competent, if not stellar, administration. America rewarded him with one of the biggest landslides in history in the 1984 election.

“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6) (KJV)

A penny in those days was a day’s wages. In the very near future, you will work a whole day for the minimum amount of food to just survive. Famine will be all over the world, regardless of the country. In fact, I’d say developed countries will have it much, much harder than countries that are mostly agriculture. People have had visions of the Tribulation and saw people starving in cities, killing each other and eating the bodies, cannibalism will be common. Murder will be common because the police’s main job will be protecting the wealthy, the politicians and the well-connected. The average person will be on their own. Hunger will be on most people’s minds. It will be terrible.

The reason it will take a day’s wages to buy the minimum amount of food required is hyperinflation.

The world is moving toward Hyperinflation

Joe Biden is doing the same type of things Jimmy Carter did proposing high taxes, high regulation, a Green New Deal and the usual high spending on welfare the Democrats are known for. As for full disclosure, I’m a former Democrat turned Libertarian. I have as much disgust for the Democrats as I do the Republicans. Both are obsessed with the love of money, the root of all evil, and both are globalists. I believe in strong nationalism and fair and balanced trade. Both parties have sold out America for decades.

The supply chain disaster is simply America sending all its manufacturing overseas for cheap labor, exploitative labor, to be honest, to fuel profits at multinational corporations hell bent on greed. I remember warning of this mess way back in 1990 in an argument with my business professor in college. “If we make nothing, we will be nothing,” I said. “If we make nothing, we will become a nation of haves and have-nots.” Basically, America will become a third world country with a top military. The middle class was 65% of the country 30 years ago. Today, with sending all our manufacturing overseas, we now have only a 46% middle class, and we tax them to death. It is a recipe for disaster.

America is reaping what it has sown. The Bible says, “you reap what you sow.”

It was inevitable that America exited the stage of the world power, just as Bible Prophecy said would happen. When we cut and ran from Afghanistan, leaving Americans and our allies behind, we abdicated the role of the world’s superpower. Our military is going woke with the current crop of morons running it into the ground. There are more concerned with social experiments than being the best military in the world. With China testing hypersonic weapons America doesn’t even focus on since they are so expensive, red alarms went off at the Pentagon. The red alarm was, “America is in trouble.” China signaled to the world, hey, America has a formidable foe, look at what we can do. China desperately wants to be the world’s superpower. So does Putin. If China launched nukes at us via the Southern Pole, NORAD wouldn’t detect it since our system is aimed at the North Pole.

But, according to Bible Prophecy, it is the Roman Empire, freshly revived under the soon coming Anti-Christ, that will be the world’s superpower. One of the seals of the Tribulation is a world war that will sweep the world and separate the men from the boys, so to speak. China, unlike the United States and Europe, has a third world infrastructure and looming real estate collapse that will plunge it into economic crisis, and probably take the world down with it.

What follows a pandemic, according to the Bible?

Famine.

The world is quickly lining up for the seal judgements to happen. Look at the empty shelves in America’s stores and the prices going up with inflation caused by all the money the Fed is printing, and has printed for a long time, to pay for all of Washington’s spending. Other countries did the same thing during the lock downs to prop up their economies. The stock markets are raging higher and higher, fueled by the government spending and easy money from world governments, but it is inflation fueling the rise not fundamentals. The stock markets don’t make sense. And, all over the world, small businesses, the backbone of the economy, are going bankrupt.

The financial system has become a house of cards. You can’t print tons of money for long before inflation seeps into every part of the economy. Printing money devalues the currency and eventually the market, capitalist or communist or socialist, will realize it. The check eventually comes due. Currencies all over the world aren’t backed by anything real, like Gold, but by faith. Yes, that dollar bill in your pocket is worth what people believe it is worth. We all have faith we can give someone a dollar and get something in return.

Eventually the check comes due.

If you want to know how bad the real estate market is in China, here’s one video on it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA2NzERV9s0

He’s right that is bad and getting worse. He’s wrong that people are going to profit elsewhere because of it. If China’s economy falters, it will affect the rest of the world. Our own real estate market in America is cooling, too. We have had the hottest real estate market in history as prices have surged, and I mean surged, higher and higher. But, eventually the market cools, inventory is taken, and it cleans itself up. Real estate in America has been hot due to investors speculating and, in some cases, buying up whole neighborhoods over the last year or so. Unlike us, China has literal cities empty of people, and they keep building. Eventually, it becomes a house of cards. What goes up, must come down.

Oil prices are going up and up. I used to pay $2.39 for supreme. The other day, it was $3.89. Gas was $2 a gallon and now the average is $3.33 a gallon. Oil was $84 a barrel this morning I saw. As energy keeps going up, it is going to fuel inflation just like all that money printing has done. Joe Biden has shut down the energy producers in America and now we are back to being dependent on the Middle East for oil. Home heating oil has doubled. This winter is going to be expensive. Britain even has gas lines, which Fox Business said last week is coming to America.

Inflation, supply chain issues, gas prices, easy money (governments printing money), cooling real estate markets, higher food prices, etc., etc., etc. is leading to hard times.

The News is Lying to You

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thess. 2:11-12) (KJV) Notice how right is wrong, wrong is right in today’s world. That thinking will lead to destruction.

The world is wicked, and for that God IS sending the world RIGHT NOW strong delusion that they will believe a lie. All of the news organizations lie. All of them are nothing but spewing propaganda. The major news networks are nothing but the Ministry of Propaganda that the Nazis made famous in Germany. They ignore everything that is really going on to focus on what Kim Kardashian had for lunch, the Covid Crisis, which is manufactured, and fluff. They lie saying Biden is doing a great job and all is well. They have all lied so much none of them would know the truth if it hit them square in the face. They are all saying, “Peace and safety” as the economy is slowly falling apart. Sudden destruction comes when they say peace and safety, the Bible says 1 Thess. 5:3.

That is how it will fall apart.

Suddenly, and with ferocity the likes the world has never seen.

And, one man will arise that will seemingly offer hope.

The world is ripe for the sudden destruction and the Anti-Christ that will seemingly offer solutions for everything. The economy, the problems in the Middle East, the environment, social issues, everything.

I’ve always been told, and believed, the Anti-Christ will enter in a financial panic. And, I believe the Rapture triggers it. After the Rapture, it will be chaos. But, I’m convinced, they will say, “the aliens took them.” Yeah, it’s true. In my lifetime, I never thought I would see the Pentagon admit UFOs are real. Christians, that actually follow the Bible, know UFOs are nothing more than wickedness in high places—Fallen Angels. In fact, I saw in a Christian movie they said most people abducted by aliens were involved in witchcraft or the occult. It makes sense. By the way, Ghosts are nothing more than demonic manifestations. You can’t talk to your dead relatives. God doesn’t allow that. They are either in heaven or hell and have no way to contact the living. It is simple, Biblical fact.

I enjoyed watching the X-Files in its day, but there are no aliens. UFOs are nothing but fallen angels. “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.” (Ephesians 6:12) (KJV) When a person sees a UFO, they are seeing the spiritual world. How do you think they move like that violating all the laws of physics? The spirit realm has no law of physics and the physical realm is built on the spirit realm. I remember a preacher one time saying, “the spirit realm is more real than the physical.” In fact, if you could see it, you’d be shocked to see demons and angels walking around with us. One said, “there are more angels and demons concentrated around the Wailing Wall and a spot in Indonesia than anywhere in the world.”

It amazes me how God has shown me all this in the last 18 months. Most people are totally confused by the spiritual world. It’s all either God or Satan. Satan is great at deception, casting illusions. That’s all he does. “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14) Aliens, ghosts and spiritualism is all of the devil. It’s all a hoax Satan has spread in the world.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) (KJV)

Jesus is the only answer.

You know it is true. If you want real spirituality, give your life to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit promptly blow your mind. “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13 NIV) The Holy Spirit is God. He knows everything. He will show you what was, what is and what is to come. There is no such thing as “secret knowledge” with God. Jesus holds nothing back. All you need is an ear to hear. Jesus said in Matthew 11:15, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” If you are willing to hear, Jesus will show you everything in the Bible. There is no secret book hidden somewhere. The Bible tells it all. And, the Holy Spirit will guide you through all of it if you are willing to hear.

We are at the end. That great getting up morning, called the Rapture, could happen at any time. The world is ripe for the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation. You don’t want to be here for God’s judgement and wrath poured out on mankind.

You are God's prized possession and Satan HATES YOU! Honestly, has Satan ever done anything for you? Really? Nope, not one thing! Jesus, on the other hand, has paved the way for us with complete and utter victory over everything, especially Satan and his ilk. When Jesus died on the Cross, he took away the sin of the world. We only have to repent and ask Jesus into our heart to be born again.

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit." In these dark times, you need the Holy Spirit right after getting saved.

The Rapture is Soon

 

You can’t know the date. You can’t figure it out. Nobody will ever tell you a date. “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew 24:36) (KJV) God won’t tell anyone either. I’m sure Jesus and the Holy Spirit have a great idea, but even they don’t know when.

But, we can know the season. The Holy Spirit always gets excited when I think about these calculations, which are rather simple. Somebody I didn’t know posted them on YouTube and they made total sense.

I do think when it is about to happen, if you have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will feel something spiritually. In a Rapture dream I had, I was sitting in an airport with these huge windows going way up to the ceiling. Suddenly, the earth began to shake and an oblong cloud formed across the sky. In the blink of an eye, I was in the clouds and could see Jesus. Honestly, I began to feel the anticipation of the day soon coming at the beginning of September, 2021.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thess. 4:16-17) (KJV)
A whole list is here: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-The-Rapture/

The Rapture Season is May 14, 2021 to May 13, 2022.

I’m not setting a date or a time, just saying it is the season. I’ve always heard pastors say it would happen in the fall they thought. But, what I believe is that when the last of the Elect gets saved, God will tell Jesus, “Go and get your Bride.” I believe that’s the reason no one knows but God. I bet Jesus has a good idea, but He doesn’t know the exact day or hour, just as He said. The groom, which He is, back in Biblical Times, didn’t know the day or hour to go get his Bride. His job, as was Jesus’s job, was to go and prepare a place for her in his father’s house. The Bride’s job was to be ready. It was a Jewish wedding. That’s exactly how Jesus described it to His disciples. It was the traditional Galilean wedding.

I had a dream recently and I was walking through a desert. I was seeing the seeds that the Holy Spirit has had me plant for the last year and 4-5 months. They popped and I saw the name Jesus Christ. The seeds are blooming and people are getting saved. Praise God! I didn’t get the full meaning for a few weeks just in the last couple of days. It left me with the feeling the Rapture is imminent. I wasn’t raptured, but it felt like it was imminent. I was in the clouds all day.

Why is the Rapture Imminent?

Israel became a nation on 5-14-1948. Jesus said in Matthew 24 a generation would not pass until His 2nd Coming with the budding of the fig tree. Israel becoming a nation in one day was also a prophecy. Israel is the prophetic timepiece not anything else.

70/80 years is a generation per the Bible (Psalm 90:10).

5-14-1948 + 80 = 5-14-2028 (to 5-13-2029) is the 2nd Coming season.
(Um, in Heaven, we won’t know the day of the Lord either. Because we won’t know the beginning of the Tribulation. The Tribulation begins when the Anti-Christ gets the 7-year peace treaty for Israel signed.)

Minus the 7 year Tribulation/Great Trib, or Jacob's Trouble.

5-14-2021 to 5-13-2022 is the Rapture season.

Jesus can't be wrong so this thing is rapidly coming to a close.

Marantha!

Could I be wrong? 

Look at Matthew 24 and all the things going on in the world. Also, remember, the technology needed for Revelation to all be fulfilled exists. If God allowed a few more years, I believe mankind would have androids possibly, cyborgs most definitely, and a host of evil things like designer kids with CRSPR DNA manipulation that would be past the technology mentioned in Revelation. Hyperinflation is about to be a thing, famine follows pestilence (Covid-19) and there are rumors of China wanting war and the Gog and Magog war that happens right after the Rapture, is ready to go. And, with America abandoning its role as the world superpower with the leaving of Afghanistan, the world is ripe for the NWO and the Anti-Christ. There's not been a time like this--it is as the days of Noah. And, how else could you interpret what Jesus said would come to pass? I really don't see how anyone could.

Now, you can go in the Rapture, too!

We are at the end. That great getting up morning could happen at any time. The world is ripe for the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation. You don’t want to be here for God’s judgement and wrath poured out on mankind.

You are God's prized possession and Satan HATES YOU! Honestly, has Satan ever done anything for you? Really? Nope, not one thing!

Healing and the Power of Jesus Christ

The Power Inside You

The Title sounds like some New Age Mysticism, doesn't it? Well, it is not because the Power is not your power. It is the Holy Spirit that lives inside a Holy Ghost, Fire baptized Christian. Think about that. The Power of God rests inside you. God lives inside you. Jesus's Spirit, the Holy Spirit, rests inside you. The same Anointing Jesus got when he was baptized by John the Baptist rests inside you.

Jesus said we'd do greater works than Him. "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." (John 14:12) (KJV) Basically, if you believe on Jesus, greater works shall you do because Jesus takes your prayers to the Father. Not for your glory, but His Glory. God loves a willing vessel. He can do wonders through a willing vessel.

Honestly, none of us can perform miracles. We have our God-given talents, but even they are God-given. But, when you are a Christian and Baptized with the Holy Spirit, the power of Almighty God rests inside you waiting to do good works, greater works than Jesus did, through you.

The same power than burned the bush but did not consume it that Moses saw, the same power that gives the breath of life to all life, the same power that brought the rains to flood the earth in Noah's time, the same power that raised Lazarus from the dead, the same power that rose Christ from the dead and ascended Him into heaven, and the list goes on, lives inside you.

I think of the Holy Spirit as Jesus's Spirit. It's just easier to think of God that way. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (Genesis 1:2) (KJV) God is the father, Jesus is the Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the power. All three work together in perfect harmony and all are one, but the one is three. The Godhead seems complicated to fathom with our feeble human minds so I just see the Holy Ghost as Jesus's Spirit. As far as I'm aware, the Holy Spirit seems okay with me seeing Him that way.

Think about WHO lives inside you: The Holy Spirit. We know God is everywhere, is all knowing, all powerful. And, Satan and his ilk, are stuck being at one place at one time. So, therefore, Satan and his minions can't be all powerful, all knowing, or present everywhere like God is. Satan has power, but it is limited, and limited to where he is. God, on the other hand, has NO limits. God can read your mind, Satan can't. Jesus is in heaven interceding on our behalf, but yet He's right there in the same room you are. So is God the Father. But, the Holy Spirit actually lives inside all believers.

You are only limited by your knowledge of the Bible. Basically, what you've read and studied. And, of course, when Scripture pops into your head, you know that's the work of the Holy Spirit, right? He brings them to your remembrance. I actually think, but can't prove, our minds were designed with the Word of God in mind. In other words, Scripture has a natural place in our heads and our hearts.


In Hebrew 10:16-17, it says, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." (KJV)

We supposed to keep His word close to us, etch them on our hearts. "My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart." (Proverbs 7:1-3) (KJV)

In the old testament, individuals had to write them on the tablet of their hearts, BUT, in the New Testament, God writes them on our hearts himself. Embrace the Word, and God will write it on your heart Himself. That's the Holy Spirit at work.

Even then, if we are only willing to get the fact the awesome power of God lives within us, we really can do anything if we let God do His work.

So, when you pray for someone, realize God is right there hearing your prayer, Jesus is taking it to the Father (John 14:12) and God is answering at the speed of thought.

Speed of thought: God does everything by the speed of thought. God is not limited to time, space travel, an airplane ride. He's literally everywhere. We can't even comprehend God's being. He's his own dimension while we live in the physical and angels, demons, fallen angels and Satan lives in the spiritual realm. God resides in all three. In some religions, God is seen as part of the universe. But, in Christianity, God created the universe and is separate from it, but is everywhere at the same time. If you were to travel to Mars, God would be there, with you on the ship and still back on earth. Only God can do that. Angels, as powerful as they are, are limited to being at one place at one time. Same with Satan and his idiot crew.

Anyway, think about WHO lives inside you when you pray (all wars are fought in prayer) and what He can accomplish through you. The battle is the Lord's, but prayer is our weapon along with our knowledge of God's Word.

And, Who is the Word? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) (KJV) Jesus is the Word. The Bible is your hand, or on your phone or on your computer, is Jesus in written form. That's why the Bible is alive, and Scriptures can pop off the page at you.

"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." (Matt 4:4) (KJV) The Bible is that Word. Live by it. The more you know, the better you are.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

When a person gets saved, the Holy Spirit quickens the mortal body, "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." (Romans 8:11) (KJV)

The Holy Spirit is the one that gives salvation experiences and seals you. "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise," (Ephesians 1:13) (KJV)

The Holy Spirit is in you when you get saved, but you have to accept Him.

The Holy Spirit is a Gift!

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a Comforter and He is Forever!

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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." (John 14:16) (KJV)

The same Spirit Jesus was baptized with by John the Revelator, Jesus sent to ALL of us. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can dwell in you!

A prayer: "Jesus, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I welcome Him inside me to live with me forever and ever. Holy Spirit, make Yourself known to me. I give you praise, honor and glory. Amen."

That's it!

Trust me, the Holy Spirit (next to Jesus, is my favorite words) will manifest himself to you. He's kind, sweet, long suffering, patient, loving, all the things Jesus and God the father is because He's an equal part of God.

How do you know the Holy Spirit is in you? Well, I fell Him tingle my legs, cause my bones to vibrate in my legs (I love that one a lot), He can raise the hairs on your skin. Sometimes I feel like He is a Helmet on my head. He's totally cool and never means you any harm. That's why the Dove is how He came down to Jesus when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. He's the comforter Jesus sent. One of the coolest things He did was Anoint my eyelids. They tingled. Everyone is different so you might also feel heat like I do, and sometimes even cool heat (that one is neat). He can flash light in your eyes, He can give you dreams, and He can impart gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. Chapter 12 details the 9 Gifts of the Spirit of Jesus). We will cover those in another sermon.

And, honestly, He is Jesus's Spirit. I call Him that and He's not objected. I see it this way: Basically, Jesus went back to Heaven so he could send us His Spirit. You see, Jesus had the Holy Spirit all to Himself when He was on earth. But, when He went back to heaven, that released the Holy Spirit to come and live inside us. When you take your first breath out of the womb, who exactly do you think gives you that breath? That's the Holy Spirit. He's always been there, but, until you get saved, you just don't know it. (Romans 8:11)

And, He is Power!

The Holy Spirit will lead you into ALL truths!

"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." (John 16:13) (KJV)

What does He talk about? Jesus is pretty much it. The Holy Spirit loves to talk about Jesus because Jesus is the Authority over everything, including sin, sickness, infirmity, the devil, the animals, the sea, the rain, and even death itself. When Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected from the dead by the Holy Spirit, the keys to death and hell became His domain.

Revelation 1:18: Jesus says, “I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Hades is hell.

If Satan tempts you, give him the Word of Truth (Scripture) in response as Jesus did in the wilderness. (Matthew 4:1-11)

IMPORTANT:

If you don't know the Scripture to give, just say, "But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." (Matt 16:23) (KJV)

The Holy Spirit will bring Scripture to your mind. I don't know all these Scriptures so I let the Holy Spirit bring them to my mind. Trust me, I ain't writing this sermon, the Holy Spirit is. The Glory belongs to Jesus.

The biggest thud of Scripture from the Holy Spirit I ever got was when I asked God if He could fix my car's air conditioner. The Holy Spirit quickly thundered it into my mind, "Nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:37) (Paraphrase) And, guess what? It has worked flawlessly ever since. My car is 19 years old and He knew I couldn't afford $500-1000 to fix it. So, He fixed it.

The Holy Spirit greatest fruit inside a believer is Love. He will lead you to love everybody. Why? God is Love. Jesus is Love. The Holy Spirit is Love. (1 John 4:7-21)

What does He look like?

One teen girl on Youtube said she saw the Holy Spirit and He looked like a mist and every so often His face would form and He looked like Jesus. I forget where the video is, but I've never forgotten what she said. I've seen a mist before and I'm sure that was Him. I just didn't realize it until I saw her video. But, the Holy Spirit loves to show you Jesus not Himself so if you see Him, feel a little special.

The Holy Spirit will ALWAYS agree Jesus is Lord:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."
(1 John 4:1-5) (KJV)

So, if you believe the Holy Spirit has told you something, you can try the spirit as the Scripture says above. Basically say, "Do you confess Jesus is come in the flesh?" If the Spirit says, "yes", you know it is of God. Anything else, rebuke it and don't listen to it.

Some things Christians are not supposed to do: divination, walk on coals of fire (Pass through fire.... see https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=%22pass+through+the+fire%22&qs_version=KJV), astrology, read your horoscope (it's of the devil, folks), get your palm read, witchcraft, consult a spiritualist (basically, they are all witches). You probably shouldn't even celebrate Halloween. It is paganism.

The best thing you can do is read your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to show you everything. He loooooves to do that. In fact, the first book you should read as a new Christian is the Johns. That tells you all about Jesus and the love of Jesus.

God WANTS to Heal You

Yes, God WANTS to Heal you of sickness and infirmities.

Before we begin, let me pray this over you, "God, grant the individual reading this sermon the ears to hear and the wisdom to understand it. God, I give you all the honor and praise and thanksgiving in the name of Jesus. Amen."

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:4) (KJV)

The Berean Study Bible translates the same Scripture as, "Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows;" (Isaiah 53:4) Infirmity means "physical or mental weakness."

But, on the Cross, Jesus bore our griefs, our sorrows, our infirmities...

HE

BORE

EVERYTHING!

Where does sickness come from? Adam and Eve, before their fall, knew no sickness or infirmities. Until the sinned, they were flawless and perfect. They were eternal. We really have no idea how long they lived and thrived in the garden of Eden. They could've been there thousands and thousands of years.

But, sickness comes from sin. Who sinned first? It was Lucifer. His sin was pride. He thought he was equal to God because he was so beautiful. God called Satan's sin, "the mystery of iniquity." (2 Thess 2:7) I'm sure God knows the mystery, but in the Bible, He doesn't share it with us.

But, Satan's sin brought forth iniquity into the world, and Adam and Eve's sin brought forth our suffering and our sickness. You didn't get cancer due to your own sin, but you got cancer because of sin in the world.

Anyway, off to healing....

I was watching Joseph Prince and his wife was telling how she was healed completely of what she had. I don't remember what it was but it was serious. This is what she did: she imagined Jesus on the Cross at Calvary and she imagined giving her ailment to Him as He hung there on the cross. After she did this, for several weeks if I remember correctly, she was healed. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is another one: imagine laying on a bed and Jesus laying on the other bed and between you, Jesus is giving you a transfusion of His blood. His blood covers all sin so why can’t it also heal you?

Amazing concepts, isn't it?

Here is the Scriptural basis for it.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5) (KJV)

In that Scripture's case, people were healed by the promise of Jesus being crucified and raised from the dead. It hadn't happened yet, but they were being healed totally by something that hadn't happened yet.

Isn't that simply amazing?

It gets better.

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24) (KJV)

In the New Testament, after Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead, we were no longer healed by the promise of Jesus's sacrifice. In fact, ready for it?, we were healed! In Isaiah, they were healed in the present tense or "are." In 1 Peter, we were healed because of the past tense or "were."

In other words, Jesus already healed you on the Cross. You just need to claim, accept it!

Hallelujah!

No matter what you have, Jesus already paid for your healing. You just have to give it to Him by imagining Him taking it while He was on the Cross at Calvary just like Pastor Prince's wife did.

Therefore, any healing you need, from cancer to AIDS to a broken finger to even Herpes (Jesus took everything on the Cross) to drug addiction to depression to alcoholism, give it to Jesus on the Cross, let Him take it from you and be healed in the name of Jesus.

I remember this preacher once, if I remember correctly, said he went to heaven and saw this river of blood that was huge. He asked why it was so huge and they, forget who they were, told him, "That is the blood of Jesus that takes away the sin of the world." Honestly, one day, I want to see that river. It must be something.

Another way to look at healing...

What is so powerful?

Jesus's Blood!

There was a concept I saw that talked about regularly partaking in communion–the blood and body of Christ–to heal you and ward off sickness. Jesus's blood washes away all sin. (Ephesians 1:7). Our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ He shed on the cross. The concept was communion heals us. Jesus told us to take communion in remembrance of Him. "And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." (1 Cor 11:24-26) (KJV)

Did you really get what Jesus said about communion? His body was broken for us, his blood is the new testament–our new covenant with God.

His body took our sin, His blood was shed to cover it. In other words, His body took our infirmities and sickness and His blood covers our sin.

If His Blood gets rid of sin, doesn't that also means His Blood can cure our diseases?

Yep, it does.

When you ask God to heal you, perhaps the best way to show your faith for that healing is to take communion! Pour a little cup of something to symbolize his blood and take a cracker or something to symbolize his body and take communion knowing full well you are saying to God, "I'm doing this in remembrance of Jesus and to heal me of my <disease>."

Just make sure you repent before you do...

"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep." (1 Corinthians 11:24-30) (KJV)

"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (1 John 1:29)

Since Jesus takes away the sin of the world, He surely can cure your infirmity!

See, God wants to heal you. Jesus already did provide for your healing. (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24)

All you really do is have to believe.

You need faith, but it is not difficult, according to Jesus: "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matt 17:20)

All you need is the faith of a grain of mustard seed. A mustard seed is about 1 to 2 millimeters in size so a grain of it is really, really small. So, see? You have at least that measure of faith. And, if you want more, ask Jesus for the Gift of Faith. It is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.

See: https://www.bible-knowledge.com/gifts-of-the-holy-spirit/ for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

See: https://www.bible-knowledge.com/fruits-of-the-holy-spirit/ for the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The more Bible you read and understand, the more faith you shall have. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)

And, as always, ask God for wisdom, which He gives liberally and without finding fault. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5) (KJV)

God wants you wise not ignorant. Ignorance is where Satan operates so God wants you wise.

Satan doesn't attack you based on your past, but on the weight of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) that you carry. -Juanita Bynum

The Spirit Realm is more REAL than the physical realm we live in.

Why?

We are stuck to exist in the physical realm, but Angels, demons, Satan, fallen angels can move in both the spiritual world and the physical.

Notice how I didn't mention God.

God exists outside both the physical and spirit realms. He created both. God also lives outside of time. Time does not affect God. God, however, exists equally in all three realms, including the realm He originally came from. The Bible says nothing was created but by Him and Jesus says He's the beginning and the ending, the Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 22:13)

Basically, God is the only all-powerful being that can even exist. Satan is NOTHING compared to Jesus Christ.

So, you realize the Holy Spirit that lives inside you gives dominion over the spirit realm and the physical realm?

Most Christians don't realize their dominion. We have dominion over the animals, the plants, the earth and Satan and all his ilk.

Satan lives in perpetual fear that you will realize just how much dominion you have over him. You have to admit Satan has power, but you also must realize Greater is He (Holy Spirit) that lives in you than he than lives in the world. I John 4:4. The Bible also says you can tread on serpents and scorpions and none can hurt you. Luke 10:19-21.

You have limits only imposed on yourself because you don't know the Scriptures. That's why many don't know their dominion over Satan himself.

John 14:12 even quotes Jesus as saying we can do greater works than Him because He goes to the father.

Basically, YOU are meant to do greater works than Jesus and tread on serpents and scorpions just like Jesus did.

Don't fear the devil, because, the truth is, he's scared of you realizing you have dominion over him, and exercising it.

And, since we have dominion over Satan, we also have dominion over sickness...when you pray for someone, realize you are exercising your dominion and expect God to heal them.

Yeah, it really is that simple. Just believe it.

So, therefore, Jesus already made provisions for your healing, Jesus gives you dominion over Satan and sickness....

God really, really, really WANTS to Heal you.

Jesus said we’d do greater works than Him because He goes to the Father!

“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.” (John 14:12) (KJV)

Therefore, let me pray for your healing:

“Our heavenly Father, I give you all the honor, the glory and the praise. I come before you, humbly and boldly, and ask you heal the person reading this in Jesus mighty name. I command any spirit of sickness, illness, disease, infirmity, mental illness to depart in Jesus mighty name. I command, as you wrote I could do because I believe, the blind to see, the infirm to walk, the striken to rise and proclaim they are healed in Jesus mighty name. (Speaking in tongues over you). Thank you, Blessed Jesus, our hope and redeemer and healer. God, I give you praise, honor and glory in Jesus name. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Amen!”

If you are not a Christian, doesn't this all sound good?

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.

The more Bible you read and understand, the more faith you shall have. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)

And, as always, ask God for wisdom, which He gives liberally and without finding fault. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5) (KJV)

God wants you wise not ignorant. Ignorance is where Satan operates so God wants you wise.

Satan doesn't attack you based on your past, but on the weight of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) that you carry. -Juanita Bynum

The Spirit Realm is more REAL than the physical realm we live in.

Why?

We are stuck to exist in the physical realm, but Angels, demons, Satan, fallen angels can move in both the spiritual world and the physical.

Notice how I didn't mention God.

God exists outside both the physical and spirit realms. He created both. God also lives outside of time. Time does not affect God. God, however, exists equally in all three realms, including the realm He originally came from. The Bible says nothing was created but by Him and Jesus says He's the beginning and the ending, the Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 22:13)

Basically, God is the only all-powerful being that can even exist. Satan is NOTHING compared to Jesus Christ.

So, you realize the Holy Spirit that lives inside you gives dominion over the spirit realm and the physical realm?

Most Christians don't realize their dominion. We have dominion over the animals, the plants, the earth and Satan and all his ilk.

Satan lives in perpetual fear that you will realize just how much dominion you have over him. You have to admit Satan has power, but you also must realize Greater is He (Holy Spirit) that lives in you than he than lives in the world. I John 4:4. The Bible also says you can tread on serpents and scorpions and none can hurt you. Luke 10:19-21.

You have limits only imposed on yourself because you don't know the Scriptures. That's why many don't know their dominion over Satan himself.

John 14:12 even quotes Jesus as saying we can do greater works than Him because He goes to the father.

Basically, YOU are meant to do greater works than Jesus and tread on serpents and scorpions just like Jesus did.

Don't fear the devil, because, the truth is, he's scared of you realizing you have dominion over him, and exercising it.

And, since we have dominion over Satan, we also have dominion over sickness...when you pray for someone, realize you are exercising your dominion and expect God to heal them.

Yeah, it really is that simple. Just believe it.

So, therefore, Jesus already made provisions for your healing, Jesus gives you dominion over Satan and sickness....

God really, really, really WANTS to Heal you.

Jesus said we’d do greater works than Him because He goes to the Father!

“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.” (John 14:12) (KJV)

Therefore, let me pray for your healing:

“Our heavenly Father, I give you all the honor, the glory and the praise. I come before you, humbly and boldly, and ask you heal the person reading this in Jesus mighty name. I command any spirit of sickness, illness, disease, infirmity, mental illness to depart in Jesus mighty name. I command, as you wrote I could do because I believe, the blind to see, the infirm to walk, the striken to rise and proclaim they are healed in Jesus mighty name. (Speaking in tongues over you). Thank you, Blessed Jesus, our hope and redeemer and healer. God, I give you praise, honor and glory in Jesus name. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Amen!”

If you are not a Christian, doesn't this all sound good?

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit."

Amen and Hallelujah.

Does God Like Me?

Does God Like Me?


Ponder that for a moment. We always hear: God loves you, God loves everybody. But, I've known people that say, "I love you but don't like you." Ever hear that? Well, God loves you AND GOD LIKES YOU.

Need Proof?

I did.

You know how a mom will sit and look at her child for hours with loving eyes while she delights in her child? God does the same with you. Even moreso...

In fact, God even counts the hairs on your head.

"But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:7) (KJV)

Yes, it may sound like a little too much love, but God loves you so much he counts the hairs on your head.

God feeds the birds, but he values YOU way more than them.

"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matt 6:26) (KJV)

He also promises to supply all your needs.

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:19) (KJV)

The BIG, HUGE difference in God and everyone else is:

He likes you even when you fail. To err is human.

Why?

Jesus died and rose from the dead so that we might have communion again with God. But, Jesus knew we would fail because we are human (and He wasn't–He had a human body, but He was still God). Jesus never sinned, but he became all our sin on the Cross at Calvary.

But, why?

Grace.

Grace, which basically is there for us to get saved AND TO FAIL and not suffer the penalties for it. "His grace is sufficient." (2 Corinthians 12:9) If you screw up, and you will make mistakes because you are human, His Grace is Sufficient. God likes you that much he sent Jesus to die in your place so your sins would be forgiven even when you screw up.

Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven.

Jesus was perfect and they beat him senseless then crucified him on the Cross because He was blameless. Even Pontius Pilate knew He was blameless. (John 18:28-38)

When God looks at a Christian, he doesn't see sin or anything bad. When He looks at us, He sees Jesus because we accepted Jesus into our hearts. He also sees the Holy Ghost inside us...and you know who He is? The Holy Spirit really is Jesus's Spirit.

I'm not saying Grace is a license to sin. I'm saying Grace is there because we are human and will make mistakes because we are human. It is impossible for us as humans to live above sin because of our endemic nature. I actually think, but can't prove it, but us just existing day to day is some little sin. Sin is in our nature. It's called the flesh (not your skin or body), but our endemic nature. However, when we get saved, guess what?, we are reborn inside. The flesh is there but subdued. The more we pray, "crucify the flesh" as Paul put it Galatians 5:24, the more subdued it becomes. The flesh is those little thoughts that pop into your head that questions God, exalts above God. The flesh is NOT you but our endemic nature. Prayer is crucifying the flesh and bringing it under submission.

Yeah, God likes you that much. But, His like is both personal and corporate. Jesus is our Husband and we are His Bride. The Church is His Bride. But, Jesus wants to know you intimately as His Bride. God wants to hear about your successes, your failures, your wants, your needs, your prayers for others, what you like, what you dislike, your favorite food, your favorite song, your favorite movie, everything! God's ear never tires of listening to you no matter what you are saying, even when you go on and on and on about nothing. Unlike another human, He's actively listening to you.

God loves listening to you tell Him everything about you. His ear is always open and He's always happy hear what you have to say even if you're mad. His that good a friend. He knows His ways are not our ways. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." (Isaiah 55:8) (KJV)

God fashioned you in the womb of your mother. Yes, He did. It's why abortion is murder. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." (Psalms 139:13) (NIV) The Holy Spirit is the breath of life and one of His jobs is knitting us together in our mother's womb.

WHY WOULD GOD NOT LIKE YOU SINCE HE DOES ALL THAT TO MAKE YOU?!!!

Yes, God Likes You, Jesus Likes You and the Holy Spirit Likes You.

We know God loves us, but we also should know He likes us.

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.

Jesus is the Love You've Dreamed About

Jesus is the Love You've Dreamed About

Jesus wants to be your spiritual husband. "For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called." (Isaiah 54:5) (KJV) And, "For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee." (Isaiah 62:5) (KJV) God rejoices over us. God delights in us. "He will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)

We are the Bride of Christ, which is mentioned a lot in the Bible. Realistically, the Bible is God's love affair with us. Many think Songs of Solomon is the model for marriage. Yes, that's true, but it is also our model for our marriage to Christ.

God always wants to be first! Jesus is supposed to be your first love. "We love because he first loved us." (I John 4:19) Without loving Jesus, you really don't love anyone else the way God intended. God loves you so much he counts the hairs on your head. (Luke 12:17) Jesus really is nuts about you.

But, Jesus wants to be our first love.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3) (KJV) And, of course, there are the first of two commandments of Jesus... "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." (Matt 22:37) (KJV)

You are supposed to love God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. Basically, God wants from us what He does for us. He probably doesn't get it from many Christians, but the few that ventures into actually doing it will reap something few Christians get. There is a fullness of God that he can let us experience and Jesus said he came so we might have life (salvation), and have life more abundantly. (John 10:10) Eternal life you get from salvation. But, abundant life you get from devotion to Jesus. You can never out love God.

But, God said David was a man after His own heart. (1 Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22)

You have to surrender your will to Jesus.

Honestly, I surrendered mine. I remember my devotion and acceptance at being celibate when I prayed something like this, "God, I give myself to you as and devote myself solely to you as your child, Jesus Christ as my husband and the Holy Spirit as my guide in Jesus's mighty name, Amen." The more I draw near to God, the more He'll draw near to me. "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..." (James 4:8) (NKJV)

I always fought surrendering my will to Jesus. Honestly, I didn't know what that meant. I do wonder what He has in store for me. But, I doubt it is anything terrible. David risked his life a lot to do God's will. But, he was king of Israel and an actual warrior that shed a lot of blood.

About a year ago, God called me to the ministry with a really odd dream. I remember it well. I was in the military and we had these uniforms that was nothing like I had seen. But, I had a special uniform reserved only for me. I got the feeling other soldiers knew I was different. Not in awe of me, but they knew I carried a responsibility few did. I actually think I was the only one that did. Anyway, my job was to fly a plane, which I never saw, deep into enemy territory.

I had told God before I didn't want to pastor, but would be happy to be an Evangelist. I just never thought I'd be a good pastor but love telling others how things work–in this case, how to be a Christian, how to get saved, how to get healed, etc.

Paul actually said, maybe in his opinion, Christians should be single. "For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that." (I Cor. 7:7) (KJV) But, that's not realistic. God did make Adam and Eve and said men should not be alone (Genesis 2:18). Even Paul said you should get married if you "burn with passion" (1 Cor. 7:9), which basically means if you're constantly lusting after everyone that crosses your path, get hitched. A husband can lust after his wife all day long, and a wife can lust after her husband all day long. In fact, aren't they supposed to desire each other sexually?

A little tidbit about marriage: the Husband's contributions makes all the difference. A woman can give and give, but it won't matter that much to a man that isn't giving. But, if the man gives everything, it will make all the difference unless the woman is just plain evil and totally into herself. Guys, God even warns you about such women in Proverbs 7. The warning was about adultery and said, "Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death." God described her as "Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. (She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home; now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.)" Such a woman leads a man to ruin. Think Delilah and Sampson. Be wary of the temptress. Her silken words and sinful manners can destroy any man. And, girls, don't be that woman. Guys, look for a virtuous woman, and, girls, be one.

Maybe that's one of the reasons Paul loved singleness.

Men have a harder time with Jesus as Husband than women do. But, there is nothing sexual about it. It basically means, Jesus is your all. He wants to be your everything. He wants to be first in your life. He wants you to fall in a deep love with Him. And, yeah, it does feel romantic. But, it gets even better because Jesus offers unconditional love and acceptance where another human being never can. It should be God, your spouse (if married), your kids, your job, etc. But, honestly, why I told God I'd be His was simple: I really want to see what God has in store for me. I just might get to see things few get to see and experience things few get to experience. Yes, it feels romantic, but it goes deeper. God really wants to satisfy all your needs.

But, Love is our main need.

If God is willing to give us our greatest need, Love, why wouldn't he satisfy all our needs? I believe he does.

Only God can give us Agape Love. That is the deepest love we can ever experience. Agape love is described as the love of God for man and the love of man for God. The depths of God's love really is beyond imagination. But, somehow, we can experience it if we only surrender our will to God, and love Him with all our heart, all our mind and all our soul as Jesus commanded. I definitely have felt temporal love for Jesus. However, temporal love with God will eventually go even deeper. For some, like me, it is the first step into a world I think few people get to go. Honestly, I'm married to Jesus. I made a vow to be celibate for Jesus.

And, you bet your bottom dollar, I want to experience Agape Love to the fullest extent possible. Jesus promised it. "I come that you have life, and have life more abundantly." (John 10:10 paraphrase). Life is salvation. Life more abundantly is that experience of Agape love that St. Theresa called ecstasy. I don't know what she experienced exactly, but I want it. She had the abundant life. To get that, you have to surrender you will, devote yourself, and make Jesus your one and only like she did. I will tell you the closer you get to God, the closer the Holy Spirit will manifest Himself to you. You can feel the tingling and heat of the Spirit from head to toe. There is nothing like the Anointing.

Agape love has changed me. I'm finding I love everybody more and more each day. I want it to get to the point the only thing I see in another person is their soul. Since God is Love, and to love others, God has to love through you, I believe eventually that will happen. My endemic nature might not like it, but I want it. I want to go after God's heart. I don't know what that really means, and I may not get there, but I want it.

Yes, I have my doubts. And, I have my moments of "what the heck am I doing?" But, such thoughts are fleeting. Emotions are fleeting. You can't live life by your emotions because "the heart is desperately wicked." (Jeremiah 17:9) The heart is desperately wicked because it is never satisfied. The heart flows with the wind and is directionless. You basically have to master it. Feelings are wonderful things, but they should never control your life. I think they should be a confirmation of what you think. The heart should be subject to your mind and will not the other way around. The mind and will is the adult and the heart (emotions) is your child. The heart can move you to do things, but you should think it through first.

And, remember this, "love (human) was not meant to last." Pat Benatar sang that line in Shadows of the Night and I've never forgotten it. She also sang "Love is a Battlefield" and we all know how true that is. A soul mate is an extremely rare thing. Even then, that love will fade and has to be constantly nurtured. Human love is a battlefield, as Pat sang. God's love isn't, period. He won't get the seven year itch, or cheat on you, or dump you. God is totally faithful. He'll never leave you nor forsake you. Even Jesus can't say that about God, because God had to turn his back on Him at the Cross. So, Jesus really did take everything for us. He had to become sin itself, which God can't hang with. God's, Jesus's love is never-ending while a human's love eventually has an expiration date. You might be totally in love with someone and a year later have moved on. God never moves on, His love never grows cold, His love never gets stale. God's love is for eternity. And, the way to get more of it is to give it away.

The Godhead really is beyond our comprehension. But, in the end, I have a strange feeling Jesus will be all in one. It's not in the Bible. It's just a strong feeling. God the father will be the soul of Christ, Jesus will be the body and the Holy Spirit will be Jesus's spirit. A little trick to know about the Holy Spirit: He only talks about Jesus. I remember a young teen girl said she saw the Holy Spirit, I have to, and He was a mist, and, every once and awhile His face would form and He looked just like Jesus. So, if you've see Jesus in a vision, you've seen God, too. We just can't comprehend how the Godhead works to understand what our eyes have seen.

C.S. Lewis said there were four loves: Agape, Eros (the sexual he called Venus), Philia (friend, siblings) and Storge (empathy or familiar like how a mom loves their child). Agape is charitable love, unmerited love and from God. But, I think C.S. Lewis had it wrong. All love is from God. At God's core, there is love. I honestly think the other three loves C.S. Lewis describes are really reflections of Agape. We are only capable of really loving anyone through God. Otherwise, we don't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Loves

Jesus's love for us was stated here as the greatest: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). What is the greatest love? Sacrifice. If you really love someone, you'll sacrifice for them. And, if you are a husband, you have to be willing to die for your Bride like Jesus, the Husband, did for the Church, His Bride. Jesus is the Husband both corporately (for the church) and individually for each of us.

That's why I devoted my life to God. I don't want a person every getting between me and Jesus. Paul was content there. I can be, too.

God can't leave you; He'll only get sweeter and sweeter!

If you are not a Christian, doesn't this all sound good?

On December 20,1991, I got saved (the second time) in bed with bronchitis. It was a beautiful experience. So, can you! It changed my life forever. The first time I got saved was when I was like 6 and raised my hand during an alter call. God answered, but my mom put my hand down. Nevertheless, God answered my faith then. No one followed up on me and I was 6 so really didn't understand it all.

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.

Jesus Wants to Meet All Your Needs

Jesus Wants to Meet All Your Needs

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19) When you think riches, think rich in things, rich in being, rich in faith, rich in wisdom, rich in humbleness, rich in meekness, etc., etc. Jesus is rich in everything. And, "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalms 37:4) (KJV) "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32) (KJV)

It's easy for someone somewhere to say that without telling you how. The why is easy: Jesus loves you that much He died for you. (John 3:16)

But, How?

I used this list of emotional needs: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/9-emotional-needs-according-to-maslow-s-hierarchy

Security/Safety

Caring for you is sooo God. I really doubt how much we know cares for us and looks out for us. But, since God calls Himself your husband, and died for you, how much more will He do? Think about it: maybe you had a car wreck and thought, "well, God didn't protect me from the car wreck." What if the real truth was, the car wreck wasn't the worst thing that almost happened? What if it would've happened a few seconds sooner and you'd be dead, or left a quadriplegic or something? What if the wreck stopped you from an even bigger thing down the road? Hmmm...

My mom said she saw the Spirit of God move our car when I was kid so we didn't have a wreck on ice, or worse. I remember driving down highway 390 during a rainy day and a minivan pulled out in front of me and I swerved onto the shoulder, which was a slope into a ditch, and I made it safely to past the minivan and back onto the road. My mother said God told her to pray for me at that exact time, and I escaped a head-on collision. I could've been killed.

A cool one was on Saturday going to work, I knew my car was almost out of gas and I thought, I'll fill up after work. Went to work and totally forgot about getting gas. The next three days, I didn't even look at the gas gauge and drove to work and all over town one of those days—on empty. The tank was bone dry, and it still ran like normal. I had asked God to do something for me a few days or a week before, and He did. I saw it that Wednesday morning way below the empty mark and thought immediately, "God has to be making it run." There was no other explanation. I was a block from the gas station and feared stalling out before I got there. But, I didn't. I did laugh and say, "God, how about you keep this thing running and I never have to buy gas again." Laughing! See, God probably protects us from all kinds of evil and calamitous things we are never even aware of that could've happened to us.

God does protect you from Satan. I believe he assigns you two angels to watch over you. Then, of course, the Holy Spirit is the ultimate protector. Angels are awesome, but when the Holy Spirit resides in you, I doubt God is going to let much happen to you. Even if death is imminent, God might tell you, "it's time to go home" and give you total peace to handle your death. He did that for a man who was being stoned in the Bible. I forget the story but God gave him the power to withstand the stoning physically, emotionally and spiritually. God will be with you through life, death, good times, bad times, so-so times, okay times, ho-hum times, whatever life brings. He's the lover of your soul and with Him, all things are possible. (Matt 19:26)

Understanding/Attention

Since Jesus is the perfect husband, He totally gets you. The Bible says God never tires of listening to you. In fact, God wants a relationship with you more than anything, and values that above any work you could ever do for Him. What good would that relationship be if He didn't get you and understand you? Tell him your needs, your desires, your wants, your problems, your successes, your failures, everything.

Unlike another human, God always, always actively listens and pays attention to you. He will actively listen when you ramble on and He will always understand your pain and your joys. He already knows you are Transgender. He even knows the reason. Yes, He knows everything. If He didn't, He wouldn't be much of a God would He? Humans won't always listen to you, but God never tires of you talking to Him. He desires that kind of relationship more than anything. Jesus is the perfect husband no earthly human could ever be.

Emotional Connection

We are emotional beings, and, guess what, Jesus is an emotional being. In the Bible, it says he's been happy, joyful, angry (like the Hulk, you really don't want God angry), etc. God has emotions just like us–but He is in absolute control of his emotions. God wants love and emotional connection just like we do. Why else would God have made us in His image? The dude was lonely. And, God made a mistake doing it. The first people were like animals and God found it so sinful and perverse, he destroyed them and started over–and made Adam in His own image. He saw Adam was lonely and needed a helpmate so he fashioned Eve from his rib. Unlike the first go round with people, Adam was fully created in God's image: Adam had a house (body), a soul (mind, will and emotions) and a spirit.

I think of the Godhead in this way at times: Jesus is the body, God the father is the soul and the Holy Spirit is Jesus's spirit. It's not perfect, but, honestly, until we get to heaven, we will never fully understand how the Godhead works. We may simply be unable to imagine, or comprehend how the Godhead works. I wrote once, "God is the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit originating from one entity." But, make no mistake, unlike Satan and his ilk, God is everywhere, literally everywhere. He's all-knowing, all powerful, and omnipresent.

Anyway, when you accept Jesus as your savior, you join with God. He makes you a new creature in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit even seals you so when God looks at you, he doesn't see a sinful creature, but a new creature in his Son Jesus. He sees you as blameless because of Christ. Salvation is a constant–it's not this moment and few moments later–but constant. Say you are sinning when the Rapture happens–do you go if you are a Christian? Yep. God sees you as blameless because of the blood spilled from Jesus Christ as the cross.

So, when you get saved, you now have a connection to Jesus that no one can ever break. No one. Your bond with God is unbreakable, un-shatterable, forever, constant. If you further accept the Gift of the Holy Spirit (just thank God for the gift of the Holy Ghost), you are in full communion with God.

And, how does God see you?

A son, a daughter, a new creation.

But, there is more...

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." (Revelations 1:6) (KJV)

Jesus is the King of Kings and you are now a king. But, it gets better. You are a "priest unto God." Yeah, you are a minister unto God. Think about that. Angels aren't ministers unto God. Angels are awesome and have no sin, but, we, the sinner crowd, are ministers unto God in Christ Jesus. The world may see us as worthless in their eyes, but God sees you as a king and a minister unto Himself. You are invaluable to God. You want self-esteem and self-worth? There it is. You're a king, baby! Only Jesus Christ is more valuable to God and the Holy Ghost. I may be worthless in the eyes of all humanity, and have been told that many times, but I am invaluable to God. Salvation is so precious even the Angels are curious about it, and they can never have that experience since they are perfect and sinless.

Yeah, let that sink in.

Connection to Community

Jesus Christ is the Husband and the church is his Bride. When you think you are alone, God is with you, Jesus is with you and the Holy Spirit is with you. But, also there's an angel or two with you. Imagine you are sleeping and it seems like no one is around. Now, imagine God is there, Jesus is there, the Holy Spirit is there and an angel or two is there. That's how it always is with you. God is always with you, He will never leave you and He will never forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) You are connected to a community of believers, past and present, angels and God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You will always be in a majority. (1 Kings 18:19-22)

When Elijah went to the people, he thought he was alone. But, Elisha prayed and finally Elijah saw God as the Lord of Hosts. He saw him and God as a majority! (2 Kings 6:15-17) God was in full control of the situation and even though the ungodly surrounded Elijah, God and all his servants surrounded the ungodly. Just like Elijah, you are never alone. In your darkest moment, God is there as the Lord of Hosts. You will always be connected to His community.

I was watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at the end. Rey was alone, it seemed, and Palpatine and all the Sith were surrounding her. It seemed like the dark lord was in full control and Rey was all alone. Then, as the Sith crowd roared, she closed her eyes, quieted her mind and heard all the Jedi of the past tell her they were with her. This little girl, just like little David before he slew Goliath, rose up, grabbed her light saber and stood defiant before the Sith God just like David stood before Goliath. Palpatine unleashed the full power of the Sith against Rey with lightning toward her light saber and said she was nothing compared to him and said, "I am all the Sith." She was just a scavenger, a nothing, and had no power to stand against him as the Sith God. And, another light saber flew into her hand, and she said, "And, I am all the Jedi." And, she slew the Sith Lord.

Likewise, David picked up a stone, put it in his sling and threw the stone at Goliath. David's aim was true and the stone hit Goliath in the head and killed him. In that story, David was Jesus, the stone was the Sword of the Spirit and Goliath was Satan. Just like Palpatine was no match for the Jedi in Rey, Goliath was no match for the power of God in David. Satan has power, but he is a weakling, a nothing, compared to Jesus Christ. When Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead, Satan and sin and everything bad was defeated by God. That's why the war is always Jesus's the fight and not yours because Jesus already won. You are every bit a part of God's Kingdom, which has no end, as any other Christian.

Privacy

God wants time with you, but He won't invade your personal space. He respects your as a person, loves you as His own. Jesus is freedom from all oppression, not bondage again to fear. (Romans 8:15) God wants you to be a conqueror in Him. He wants you to be individual person not a clone, or a minion, or something else not you. He wants you to be you.

A Sense of Self

For decades, I didn't have a sense of self. Finally, He gave me a complete sense of self. God sees the inside, God sees your soul, God sees who you truly are. If you don't have a sense of self, he wants you to have one. As for me, I have Jewish blood (on my mom's side), I am a Christian and I am a king and priest unto God. What He did for me, He'll do for you.

A Sense of Achievement

I was watching a preacher and he said, "God wants you to follow your dreams." If you let Jesus, I guarantee you He will give you ways, open doors, to fulfill your dreams. You will achieve much through Him. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13) (NKJV)

Meaning

The inevitable question: why? Why do we exist? What is the meaning of life? The answer is in Christianity. God created you because he was lonely and wanted a relationship with you. God wants you to serve Him and serve others. The Christian Life is really simple. Jesus offers you salvation, eternity with Him in paradise and lots of benefits while here on earth. Realistically, you can stay a baby in Christ, get some benefits and get heaven, or you can serve Jesus, have a deep relationship you'll never be able to have with another human like you can with Jesus and the Holy Spirit will show you things that boggle the mind.

Honestly, how much God has accepted me as part of his kingdom has boggled my mind. Weights lifted off my shoulders and I was free. I really don't care what mankind thinks, only what Jesus thinks. If He's cool with me, I really shouldn't worry about much at all.

See The Christian Life post for more on how easy it is to live the life. Jesus doesn't want to add burdens, He wants to take them away.

The great thing?

God can use anyone, but the ones He uses most are the humble. God doesn't care if you are poor, uneducated, a social misfit, Transgender, or a banker on Wall Street. If you are willing to let the Holy Spirit guide your life, God will take you places you'd never get to see without Him. I promise you.

I asked Him about being a minister and He really didn't answer it yes or no. I saw the website I wanted (this one), bought it and asked God for wisdom to do it right. I just let the Holy Spirit guide me, I hope faithfully, and write sermons that can help people. I'm like, hey, God, use me. I know it will not be easy, if and when he opens a door to a ministry offline, it will be difficult, but I honestly think God really wants to reach out to everyone regardless of circumstances. I'm sure he already does so, but, I think God likes it when we think BIG. He thinks BIG.

If you are not a Christian, doesn't this all sound good?

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.
