The Doors of the Church ARE OPEN!


Isaiah 7:14-15

14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.[a] 15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

How many of U know  that we have the blessin from God  in us and that Blessin is the man Jesus Christ.
THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,GOD W/US...GOD N OUR NATURE...GOD @PEACE W/US...AND N COVENANT W/US!   AREN'T U COMFORTED!!!

The book says in Luke 19:10 That Jesus came 2 seek and save those that R lost.He came 2 seek N order 2 save,Amen.
WHERE JESUS COMES HE BRINGS SALVATION ALONG W/HIM.He came to call sinners 2 repentance.
Y not turn from the sin that men do and turn un2 a life w/the 1 true savior!
The book says N Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
When God 4gives sin he remembers it no more:IT IS 4GOTTEN.But U must repent.Then U wil have a refreshed soul and a spiritual presence.
It is by christ that God sends HIS blessings and thru HIM is the only way.that we shall recieve those blessins. WHAT R THE BLESSINS.....Access to God's Grace..We get an Inheritance..We become a child of God..We get a heavenly citizenship..We are heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus..We are forever forgiven....We become a new creature..We are Sanctified...We are born again with a spiritual re-birth...We are redeemed....We are reconciled to God....We are Baptized into the body of Christ..We have been delivered from the power of darkness....The Lord becomes our helper instead of our judge.. We have eternal life...We have peace with God...We became a friend of God..We get in the Lamb's book of life...We are given a blessed hope of Christ's returning...Everthing that happens to us will be for our own good...Our every need will be supplied by God....
The book says N Matthew 6:31-34 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


The doors of the church are open.....

The doors of the church are open.....U have 2 know HIM.....4 urself,Come experience who Jesus really is,let it start N ur heart 2day.GIVE UR LIFE 2 CHRIST!!!!!
REPEAT THIS PRAYER
"Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless.
I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend.
I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ."
Amen.

Happy Thanksgivin'!

There is so much 2 B Thankful 4,This has been the greatest year yet.And I know that Thanx B 2 God the BEST IS YET 2 COME!
Thankful 4 friends,family,health and being wiser and stronger than ever b4.

In the book of Colossians the Bible tells us that God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Jesus, and that through Christ’s death on the cross we have been completely made right with God the Father.

We were once God’s enemies, we who have trusted in Jesus as our Savior are now His friends. He has made you holy and blameless—in fact, the Bible says you stand before God without a single fault.WOW
I hope you will make it a tradition to spend time this Thanksgiving letting your thanks overflow to God for all He has done.My prayer is that God will fill you to overflowing with joy and thankfulness in the days ahead.
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action and was never meant to be shut up in a single day.God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

The Sin so many ignore

Preachers and teachers of the gospel hate the thought of people perishing in Hell and missing heaven.People who teach according to scripture are often called Fire and Brimstone preachers,and people think they are uncaring. Certainly some of them are.Isn't it also  possible that many of those sounding the warnings are doing so because of genuine concern for others? But facts are facts and that is that the Word of God warns that certain types of behaviors will cause people to be lost.
 “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1stCorinthians 6:9,10
 
“…the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21


 But these things can be apart of ur past. U can B washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.All U have 2 do is  obey the gospel from the heart.. This obedience involves Believeing in Jesus Christ,repenting of the former conduct,and turning away from it and B baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. God takes people who are headed toward eternal damnation,and by HIS power,grace and mercy,HE can alter ur dircection.

I cannot have people in MY Kingdom who choose and desire evil governing.  You love the traditions of men more than you love ME.  I know the lust you have in your heart for the world—it is an enmity to ME.  You cannot love ME and mammon both.Your partial commitment to ME is like a dog returning to its vomit.  You will be spit out because of your half-hearted love for ME.


 Not everyone 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. The hour is approaching for MY Return to earth, yet you continue to look back to the world.  I am the WAY…the TRUTH…the LIFE.  No man comes to MY FATHER except by ME: your MESSIAH, REDEEMER, the SACRIFICED LAMB.

 I am a GOD of Truth and soon you will see MY Word come to pass.  The hour is shortening.  Make time for ME, your GOD.  Repent of your sin.  Come and surrender your all to ME.  Your time is sifting away.  Choose not to reject ME.  I know who is coming out with ME.  Come to ME quickly.

 Even so, MY lukewarm church is asleep.  She sleeps though she is warned and will be without excuse at the hour of MY Coming—she will stand speechless when I pull free MY true church, MY bride.

 Be careful about the warnings you have been given.  Heed them as valuable jewels—for when much is given much is expected and for those who have MY Word and then turn to reject it for the world it is better that you had not been born then to reject your LORD GOD.

 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him GOD speed:  For he that biddeth him GOD speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

One alternative 2 Chemo


Natural Alternative To Chemotherapy

In order to reach an effective dosing level, doctors give it intravenously, just like chemo. So it's known as intravenous ascorbic acid . As I've mentioned before, IAA kills cancer cells. But normal cells are unharmed by the treatment. It's vitamin C, taken in mega doses.

Let's say we want an ideal variation on chemotherapy. It has to kill cancer cells, of course. But it can't harm healthy cells in any way.
If someone could develop such a treatment, these are the benefits cancer patients would enjoy… 
* No fatigue
* No hair loss 
* No nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhoea
* No vulnerability to infections 
* No chemobrain 
* No chemo resistance 
* No secondary cancers caused by treatment 
* No nurturing and feeding of cancer cells 

That's a pretty tall order, right? A "chemo" that does no harm and eliminates cancer. But let's think even bigger. Let's say this treatment also provides additional benefits. So adverse effects would be completely replaced with healthy effects. 
For many patients, this ideal is a reality. Right now. Today. 

Uninterrupted quality of life 

Yesterday, I told you that one of the things oncologists would rather you never know about is that there's a natural alternative to chemo. It's vitamin C, taken in mega doses. 

In order to reach an effective dosing level, doctors give it intravenously, just like chemo. So it's known as intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA). 

As I've mentioned before, IAA kills cancer cells. But normal cells are unharmed by the treatment. 

Jus Sharing sum info I found online,Never had 2 try it but Y not,almost anything is prolly better than Chemo.

Keep it Movin!

“The faith that justifies is a living and active principle, which works by love, purifies the heart, and excites to universal obedience.
Hebrews 11:14 says   “Pursue after peace with all men, and after the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.”


According to Gen. 6:9, Noah was a just man, a righteous man, and a man blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. In the face of opposition and ridicule Noah believed and obeyed God. He built the ark. His faith was the kind of faith that built an ark in the middle of a dry wasteland with not a cloud in the sky, simply because his Lord and God told him to do so. He is a man who endured, doing the will of God, and he received the life promised to him when the wicked and perverse men around him were destroyed in God’s judgment.,he became an heir of the righteousness, which comes by faith. He was justified by faith.


Noah persevered in doing the will of God, and “became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” Noah received the promised inheritance — not by law, or by the works of the law, not by self-righteousness, or by his merit. He received the promised inheritance by faith — faith, which persevered in doing the will of God, faith by which he built the ark. If he had not obeyed God in building the ark he would not have survived the flood.
At the same time, Noah did not receive the promise because he built the ark. The promise is a free and unmerited gift of grace. Noah merited nothing by building the ark. Those who endure, doing the will of God, do not receive just wages; they receive what is promised. 
                             PERSEVERE
 Faith in Christ excludes the doing of self-righteousness, but it does not exclude the obedience to Christ.
 The exhortations and warnings of the apostles given to believers are not intended to lead those who have begun in the Spirit back to the flesh (Gal. 3:3). They are designed to encourage the people of God to persevere in a living and active faith. Although it may not appear to the eye of man to be the case, in view of all they are called upon to suffer at the hands of the ungodly, the righteous who persevere will be vindicated in the day of judgment; the rest will pay the penalty of eternal destruction . “The Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish” “The righteous man shall live by faith” .

Walk N the Spirit!

I was talkn 2 a man the other day who proceeded 2 explain 2 me how he got n2 a physical altercation with another man.The 1stman(intoxicated) wanted 2 go 2 a place that the 2nd man was preventing him from goin 2 only out of the safety of the 1st man.The1st man then decided 2 push the 2nd man out of his way,so the 2nd guy pushed back,Next thing U know they goin @it.after all was said and done,no 1 wuz really injured in the altercation. 

My 1st thought wuz N this day and time,as crazy as ppl R,should we really b getn n2 shoving matches w/strangers we meet.The 1st guy wuz intoxicated,He could have pulled out a knife ,a gun,who knows.The 2nd guys life could have ended that day w/no thought 2 his wife,children family.
I asked the 2nd guy I said when he shoved you,did he hurt U N any kind of manner except 4 ur pride.DID HE HURT UR PHYSICAL PERSON BY THE PUSH? he responded no,I said wel Y did u start pushn back? He looked @me w/a puzzled look,He said bcuz he pushed me.
I said we as Christians as followers of Christ R 2 B the bigger ppl.We R a chosen ppl set apart and special,we dont act like every1 else.Ur Holy Spirit should have automatically kicked N and U should have turned the other cheek,especially since u wer not hurt N any way.He responded by sayn i didn stop 2 think about it.
Wel if that Holy Spirit is continuosly dwellin w/N U .........as it should B,nothin 2 stop and think about it should come automatically.
THE BOOK SAYS:Proverbs 19:11"If you are sensible, you will control your temper. When someone wrongs you, it is a great virtue 2 ignore it!

Livin under the law R not 2 B!

       
 Im doin this study 2day 2 hopefully find the truth of God's word,not 2 inject anything that I think R believe myself but only comin from a scripture perspective.So many R livin by what they always been taught or what they heard. 2day I challenge U 2 search the scriptures and find a true understanding.
What we need 2 understand 1st is that God wants every1 2 quit sinning.IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE and DEATH!
2 please God we must fight the flesh @every turn.

       Some churches divide and disagree,I am so glad that God is not a God of division nor is he the author of confusion.So we as Christians if its @all possible need 2 get a clear understanding of what God means by Grace.
What exactly is Grace: kindness and  favor.U cannot earn God's Grace,bcuz god loved us 1st,even in our undeservin state,and gave us grace freely.
The truth is that we should accept the grace of God and as a result we will keep the law of love.
God has not done away with His law, namely the Ten Commandments. The law of God is good and for our benefit, but where many go amiss is that they fail to realize the law of God has changed from a physical law to a spiritual law. Let's read the book,in Gal 2:19-21; "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."
 What God has done away with through Jesus is the "penalty" of the law, which is eternal death.
Remember, when sin came into the world, God stated that we shall surely die because of it, but the Christ came to make atonement for us because of their great love and mercy.
In MATT  5:17 Jesus stated,concerning the law and His role in redeeming those that would accept Him. "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."
Matt 15:11 "It's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." Meaning that we need to change from with-in, which is a spiritual change that can only come from the cleansing blood of the Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit from the Holy Father.
 In Gal 4:4-5. "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons,in Rom 7:6 "But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter."This is to say the Holy Spirit will impart the fruits of the Spirit to us and therefore we will keep the commandments that Jesus stated was still important which is the Ten Commandments. These scriptures are very clear on the fact that we have been freed from the penalty of law and are under grace.
The fact is that Grace works with the law.
The old ceremonial, and ritual laws are done away and that the new covenant brings the Holy Spirit to those that accept Jesus as their savior and as a result they, by walking in the Holy Spirit, will fulfill the law because of a changed of heart.
Jesus said it best when he said in  Matt 22:37-40 that ALL the law and the Prophets could be hung on the two Great Commandments which is to love God with all your heart soul, and mind, and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself.
Please understand that I believe as Jesus Himself stated that if we love Him we would keep His commands.and we will also love as Jesus loves because the Holy Spirit is allowed to love and work through us.Where people have become confused on this issue is that they come to believe that if we are under grace then the penalty of the law, which is eternal death, cannot affect us no matter what we do,AND THAS TRU.But U have 2 stay righteous 2 stay up under the freely given grace,Grace doesnt work 4 the unrepentant sinner. Jus like the concept of "once saved always saved" , is absolutely wrong as we read in many scriptures.Please don't get trapped in the thinking that you don't need to be diligent and continue to seek the fullness of God's Holy Spirit. 2 live that righteous lifestyle.Don't let anyone convince you that you don't need to know the difference between false and true doctrine. Don't become discouraged when you fail, and please never become discouraged to the point where you give up the fight.

the man "ZACCHEUS"

There were probaly many people in the bible days who were converted that were not actually mentioned in the bible,some stood out!
As Jesus wuz passing thru a city called Jericho,the city built under a curse,The city bein built this way should have felt honored 2 have Jesus presence there.ZACCHEUS,chief tax collector..a rich man,had a desire 2 c Jesus,we know that Jesus said it is very hard 4 a rich man 2 enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Zaccheus wuz a small man
and the crowd wuz great,every1 pressin 2 C Jesus.Jesus did not press 2 show HIMSELF he wuz lost in the crowd.Zaccheus ran like a little child and jumped up in a tree just 2 get a glimpse of Jesus.
People who truly desire Jesus will find a way 2 just get a glimpse of HIM.In this desire you must press your way and take evey advantage 2 achieve this goal,

Zaccheus wuz very surprised at the notice Jesus took of him by invited HIMSELF 2
 Zaccheus home.Jesus outdid the expectation of Zaccheus,and he wuz overjoyed by the honour he had been given 2 dine with the Lord.Sometimes we make excuses when it comes to opening our hearts 2 Jesus.Not Zaccheus he made haste.Wow the murmuring started amongst the people who couldn believe that Jesus would pick such a sinner 2 have dinner with.But didn Jesus come 2 save those whom are lost?
                    HE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
JusT because most tax collectors are bad people doesnt mean all are bad,we must take careful 2 lump all people in certain situations together,because everyman will BE judged according to their own works.ZACCHEUS BECAME REPENTENT.HE STOOD AND ADDRESSED JESUS,NOT THE PEOPLE, JESUS!HE SAID BEHOLD LORD HALF MY GOODS I GIVE 2 THE POOR,AND I GIVE IT NOW!I HAVE BEEN UNCHARITABLE 2 THE POOR AND THIS CHANGES NOW.HE SAID WHAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM MEN ILLGOTTENLY I WIL RESTORE IT FOUR FOLD,NOW 2DAY.If a person is truly repentant they will look back on all the wrong they have done,and begin 2 make it right.THIS DAY.....SALVATION  HAS COME 2 THE HOUSE OF ZACCHEUS!
Now that Zaccheus is converted he will be more than a blessing.

THE WHOLE WORLD OF MANKIND(BY THE FALL)HAS BECOME A LOST WORLD.JESUS CAME 2 SEEK AND 2 SAVE.2 SEEK IN ORDER 2 SAVE.
JESUS UNDERTOOK A GREAT CAUSE,A CAUSE WHICH HAD GRIEVED OUR GOD.THANK YOU OBEDIENT JESUS 4 ALL YOU DONE IN GOIN 2 THE CROSS 4 THE SINS OF MAN.
NOW IT IS UP 2 US THRU JESUS CHRIST,BY HIS STRIPES AND STRENGTH 2 SPREAD THE GOSPEL 2 ALSO SEEK THE LOST AND LET THEM KNOW THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

We Must Worship!

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

This is now the dawning of  a time as any that we need to bow down and worship and call on the name of our God.As creatures on this earth we must worship the Father of everything.As Christians we must worship the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.The changin of the times will come forth and B made manifest N the midst of our worship.We must worship not jus in our ordinary ceremonies BUT N THE SPIRIT!
We must worship in spirit and in truth as part of our character and as our duty.Only worship that is by the spirit is truly worship at all
We must worship dependn on God's strength and assistance.We must have a fixed heart and a fixed mind.worship w/all that is withn us.
We must B sincere and realize its all about the power and not about how we look 2 others.The gospels show us the spiritual way 2 worship so that people who profess the gospel can correctly administer it.God is not impressed with fancy rituals or wordy phrases.Worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth are very rare.This type of worship is necessary and it is what God insists upon.If God is seeking worshippers,it stands 2 reason that He will make U such as needed.Bcuz God does provide provision.

GOD IS A SPIRIT!
When Scripture says that God made man "in His own image," it speaks not of a
           physical but a spiritual likeness; for even as God is Spirit, ALso He made man. God inhabits the praises of HIS people.Your body IS THE HOUSE OF GOD!

HE HAS DIVINE NATURE, SO WE MUST WORSHIP HIM DIVINELY.IF WE DO NOT WORSHIP GOD WHO IS A SPIRIT,N THE SPIRIT,WE MISS THE ENTIRE MESSAGE OF WORSHIP.

To the true believer, worship is not a weekly obligation but the continual
             lifting up of one's heart and spirit to God. This is what we will be doing for all eternity!

Selling out of the Church!

Matthew 21:12-14

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Lets take it line by line:
AND JESUS WENT N2 THE TEMPLE OF GOD:The Temple of God(A FOOTSTOOL 4 THE PRESENCE OF GOD) is where Jesus rules,he rules in Holy places,he expresses HIS authority...what did he do?
HE CAST OUT ALL THEM THAT BOUGHT AND SOLD N THE TEMPLE:4 whateva reason they bought and sold he threw them out.Sum were N the courtyard and he was against that as well.Corruption can ease n2 your church by many different means so.....
AND OVERTHREW THE TABLES OF THE MONEY CHANGERS:
So with the and bein there we C that there were those who bought and sold in addition to the money changers,of whom whose tables heoverturned.Jesus didn gather up the money and keep it 4 himself,he scattered it,threw it 2 the ground,wanted nothing 2 do with it.

He said"IT IS WRITTEN": keep your eyes on the scriptures.This is what we must follow.

MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER:Here Jesus explained why he wuz so upset,he said this temple is 2 B used for prayer.Which is the base of any and all ceremonies to B held here.
BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES:cheating often works its way n2 buying and selling,marketing in the church dishonors God.
AND THE BLIND AND THE LAME CAME 2 HIM N THE TEMPLE:After he had driven the buyers and sellers out,he invited the blind and the lame 2 come N.
Isnt it wonderful 2 come n2 the House of God when Jesus is there?
2 B doing the good N the father's house is more honorable than 2 B getting money there.
God is not pleased with any ol' thing we decide 2 do N HIS presence.
A Christian Church is strictly a house of worship and prayer.
A place of Holy celebration and sanctification.


Any other activity held within its confines is a desecration of the church.

Servin' 2

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and hate the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
TAKE HEED:If your dividing your eyes between the world and God your a cheater.
Having a treasure or treasures on earth and N heaven,OR,pleasing God and man.Sooner or later the paths gonna cross or contradict each other.
REALLY THIS IS COMMON SENSE!


The word Mammom means 2 gain.So...whatever it is your tryin 2 gain,satisfaction of the flesh,pride in yourself,money,wealth.These things do not coincide w/Kingdom ways and things.

Jesus said,"THE SON OF MAN HAS NOWHERE 2 LAY HIS HEAD!" ‘HE SAID,If you want to follow Me, then this world cannot be your home. You have to realize that this world is not your home. You are just passing through this world.’So donot lay up for yourselves treasures on this earth.If you want to be a true disciple of Christ, you must define your relationship to the world. Make clear what is your relation to this world and 2 God.The ‘world’ in the Bible is talkin about a system, a man made system, which is alienated from God.A system THAT DOES NOT OBEY GOD.We as followers of Christ R N the world but not of the world.The worlds values are not Kingdom values.

1 kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long do you halt between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
I LOVE ME SUM ELIJAH,He really got on in the people faces....They were mixin Baal worship with worshipping God.They worshipped God 2 please the prophets and worshipped Baal 2 please Men.
There is only 1 God,1 ominpotent,1 omniscience,and 1 omnipresent.
Why n the world would people try 2 add 2 whats perfect?
Going between to makes one unstable and and unsteady and ya purposes will not have full potential.
Elijah got busy he said lets jus see who is the 1 tru God.....2 b continued

Peter's Sermon

Because Peter's audience was a group of gentiles,They were entitled 2 hear  all that he preached,and being so readily interested,they 2 can and would reap the benefits of the gospel.
Peter 1st of all lays down the law,"GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS!"Meaning,He doesnt care where your from or who you know,Gods rules are 2 fear HIM and work righteousness.Then and only then will you be accepted.
The gentiles never heard the gospel itself,but they did hear OF IT,rumors and such....They had heard that from the preaching of John the baptist one could be baptized and be saved.After repenting,They also knew that John preached the 1 coming after him.They knew the 1 coming after him was Jesus Christ,the savior,do gooder 2 every1.Moving about and healin the sick and rasing the dead.They knew Jesus came to defeat and destroy the devil.They knew the Jews had put Jesus 2 death,by hanging him on a tree.HEARING ALL THIS THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY HEARSAY....BUT,PETER 1 WHO HAD WITNESSED IT ALL.PETER  spoke of 1 who was commissioned by God to preach and to do wonders and miracles,1 Amointed and Appointed Mediator between God and man.1 whom God sent and was with HIM all the way.
Peter began to declare the Ressurrection of Jesus and offer proof of it.
He spoke of chosen witnesses.He said Im here 2 tell U all that this is what u must do,U MUST BELIEVE IN THIS JESUS!

CHRISTIAN FAITH IS BUILT UPON THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS.
Their testimony is God's testimony,and they are witnesses to the world.
What they must believe concerning Jesus:::
We are all accountable 2 Christ as our Judge.
He is empowered to set the terms of salvation.
whomever shall believe in HIM shall recieve  forgiveness of sin.Forgiveness of sin,repentance, is the foundation for favor and blessings from God.
As Peter was preaching God stood in agreement in that the Holy Sprirt fell upon all those who were listening.The Holy Spirit fell on those Gentiles even before they were baptized shows God does not jus stick with 1 method of saving.,R way of doing things.
The people spoke with tongues and magnified and glorified God.And added to the realization of Christ and all the benefits of a ealtionship with him.The Jews who were present who already believed were astounded and dismayed.
Peter begin to baptize those whom the Holy Spirit had fell on.
The people begged Peter 2 stay,they wanted more of the Word and More of the knowledge of God.
THOSE WHO REALLY REALLY REALLY KNOW CHRIST ARE ALWAYS HUNGERING AND THIRSTING FOR MORE. 


2 REPENT IS 2 KNEEL BEFORE JESUS,THE KING,STOP SINNING,ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY AND TO PLEDGE YOUR LIFE AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO HIM.

The Man Cornelius

Wow this a great story about the first Gentile(people who R not jew and are not saved other people in the world)2 recieve the gospel and 2 B baptized.His name is Cornelius.He wuz a great man,a good man,usually great men dont hardly turn out 2 b good men.But he was and he did fear the Lord and he was a giver and he was prayerful.Amen
He was an officer in the roman army,high in rank,The soldiers usually used their service in the army 2 excuse their lack of religion.But not Cornelius,him and all his house served the Lord.
IF THE FEAR OF GOD RULES YOUR HEART IT WILL B MADE MANIFEST IN WORKS AND LOVE AND ALL THAT YOU DO!
One day Cornelius was in the midst of paryer and had a vision,An angel appeared 2 him,he saw the angel with his eyes,and was afraid.The angel assured Cornelius that God was pleased w/him.Could you imagine God being pleased w/U.God sayin dont worry my child your on the right path,I love you.Wow
Now Cornelius was already a very Religious man and God was pleased but GOD said theres more.His next goal was 2 accept the Christian religion  and 2 believe N Jesus Christ.Not if he wanted 2 but it was a must.
So the angel told Cornelius,you must send for Peter.Cornelius made haste,he did it right away,when souls are at stake there is no time 2 lose.He sent his best people.Soon as Cornelius sent the messenger the angel went away.Now in Cornelius mind he was thinking WILL PETER EVEN COME? 2 ME A GENTILE.
Peter havin the mind that gentiles are uncircumcised and unclean.Begin 2 pray,he prayed all day long and fell n2 a trance and there he had the vision.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CLEARER WE GET FROM THE WORLD,THE NEARER WE GET 2 HEAVEN.Peter being in a trance, his mind wuz clear of the world and he recieved divine things.Peter was directed  N the psirit 2 go along w/Cornelius messengers.He took some of his own followers also.This is how you show respect 2 your ministers.YOU FOLLOW.
While waiting Cornelius gathered 2gether his own family,kinsman and friends.Peter upon entering was very pleased 2 have been waited upon.2 be receieved with anticipation was a great encouragement to him.
THAT IS HOW WE SHOULD BE GATHERIN MANY AS WE CAN 2 COME 2GETHER 2 GET FED THE WORD.
As Peter entered Cornelius fell down as his feet 2 worship him,such reverence.Peter raised him 2 his feet and said I am but a mere man myself.Peter said that honour belongs 2 God and God alone.

Righteous Sex

Proverbs 5:15-19

 15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
 16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
 17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
 18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
 19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Men should be delighted and overjoyed concerning their wives.HE WHO FINDS A WIFE FINDS A GOOD THING.Look 2 your wife as being a blessing from God.Pray daily 4 her.Your desire for sex should not over run so as that you stray away from your wife.The lust of strange women is evil.

Young men ought 2 marry,lest they burn w/lust.Basically,ABSTAIN FROM SEX R MARRY.
Sex by the command of Christ is for those married only.

1 Corinthians 6:9,10 
 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

HEAVEN IS NOT INTENDED FOR THESE TYPES OF SINNERS......
These sins are exceedingly "evil" and "wicked" in God's sight.
They greatly displease God and provoke Him to anger.
Dont decieve yourself n2 thinkin you can live sinfully and still inherit the Kingdom of GOD.
You can not sow to your flesh and reciceve eternal life.
