You know everyday i read different blogs. Some about food some about fishing and many about the lives of other people all over the world. Now some use the tragedies in their lives to get pity from others. I'm not real sure why some people like to feed off pity but if they had God in their lives they wouldn't need this at all. And i feel allot of these so called tragedies are made up to gain pity. Some are not. But even if their not why do you wallow in your pity ? When God can build you up and use your tragic life to help others. Myself im Bipolar and im very ill. Ive had a hard life i was drug attic and a criminal i lived the best part of my life on the streets and in prison and jails. But instead of crying over it. I use it to Gods advantage. Using my life to change others. God came into my life and changed a life full of sorrow and suicide attempts to a life full of joy. I have a lovely wife and a fantastic grandson. My life changed I still have my times of sorrow and pain but Christ can make it bearable. And my testimony can serve God by helping others who are where i was. Dont use your sorrow to gain pity. Let God use it to gain followers. I know to there are people out there in worse shape than i am . They live on the streets in cardboard boxes many of these are children. We have to help them and by doing so our worries and sorrows lose their importance. Ive been out there living with those people I know how they feel. They feel lost and lonely and very frightened. . Instead of paying baseball and sports figures all your hard earned money. Try helping someone who has nothing. Instead of making the music industry and Actors Rich. Give to the poor. Or just go to an area where people are hungry and in need and feed one or say a prayer. Tell them how they can have a life with no more sorrow. Do this and God will reward you with riches that this earth has never seen.

Selfish Desires
It amazes me what some will do to get their selves noticed. They write a blog and believe that their blog is more important than anyone else's. They also drive others topics to the bottom just so they might be noticed. I find it appalling and rude. They believe that they are more important than others and what they have to say should be read by everyone. I write a bog i post it and God brings the readers to Him. But these times were prophesied by Jesus thousands or years ago. Here in
2 Timothy 3 it says this
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
This says it all. Does it not It ?
Freedom In Truth!!!!
The Truth Shall Set You Free!!!
Jesus said this:
John 8:12 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
I live my life according to Scripture, not according to what other religions believes i should. I don't celebrate anything to do with pagan origins and i don't participate in the Rituals Customs or Traditions of men. God said trust in Him. He never once said to trust in men. Matter of fact this is what He said about men :
Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. Psalms 56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightiest overcome when thou art judged.
God says right up here that all men are liars so who do you put your trust in A Church. A Religion.
Or GOD ALMIGHTY.
So that leaves out your seminaries your schools. Jesus never sent anyone to school to learn Gods Word He sent us
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH.
Most are so wrapped up in what their preachers say they have no clue what The Bible really says. Or they spend their days copying and posting Scriptures without a clue as to what they mean. And do you tell others of Christ or do you just ramble off a few scriptures and think that's good enough. Do you study those scriptures before you post them. Wake up and smell the roses. We are living in the last days and you better be quite sure you are not being deceived by THE DEVIL. Some think The Devil is some stupid being that can't hurt them. They belive they are smarter than the very one who was once by Gods side. Just how foolish are you? He knows The Scripture better than anyone on this planet and he can deceive you in a million different ways. So while your making fun of him he might very well be laughing at you. You might think you have Christ, Question is Did you pick the right Christ ? For here in the scripture it says this about The Devil
John 10:10 (King James Version) 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
1 Peter 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
The Truth Shall Set You Free!!! Jesus Said I Am The Truth I Am The Light and He was the only way To Salvation
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Do you know what He really meant by that ? I do. That He was the only way to salvation and by doing His Will and observing and keeping His Commandments you would gain eternal Life!!!!
So how do we do that ? Is it done by our will and what we want ? Is it by works alone ? Is it by faith alone. Jesus said this here in
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! First off you must realize that you are a sinner Notice here in Romans what it says :
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Because you're a sinner you are condemned to die
Romans 6:23 says 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
But God loved us so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place!!!
2 Corinthians 5:21 21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Note that He was made to be sin for us How awesome is that.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
His Blood had to be shed in order to free us from our sins.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true.
God cannot lie. God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30).
This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.”
Pray something like this Use your words and let it come from your heart Grieve for your sins: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died for us. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for us. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
Jesus said The Truth was so simple a child could understand it HUMBLE YOURSELF AS A CHILD!!!!!
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss everlasting life and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life.
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:
Pray -- you talk to God.Read your Bible and Study it daily -- God talks to you.Witness -- you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay.
“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)
Spread The Good news to all living Creatures Dont do like many others who are ashamed of Christ Spread His Word to anyone and everyone.
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).

Who Do You Serve ?
Today Ive seen many that would disregard Scripture to follow some person or persons. In
Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
The Bible Gives sound advice and thats the advice i suggest you take. If your a true Christian then the only advice you should pay heed to is Gods Word. Look here in
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
It dont say the Doctrine of men or teachings of men.
Ive seen post lately where advice is given in the wrong context. Often many will agree with someone not knowing what The Bible has to say about it. What good did it do for God to have His Apostles and Disciples write His Words down if your only going to listen to others who are imperfect and most times have no clue what The Scriptures say on the matters. This is a warning to those doing these things.
Gal 1:88 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (KJV)
Better start listening to God and get off this trip of paying attention to some bloggers who fail to even use Scripture in the first place. And to you Bloggers dont exalt yourselves because without God you are nothing. You best remember your place or like Paul you will be put into your place.
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. —Corinthians 12:7-10, KJV
You seem to accept praise where all praise and glory go to God. Remember what the scriptures say about how the devil can appear as the light right here in
Be on your guard as to whose words you abide by. Check withe The Scripture to make sure this person or persons speak truth.
Thats what Gods Word is For.

Are you Truly Saved ?
Is it possible to be saved and still sin.
I myself have not reached perfection yet But everyday i strive to achieve it. Its our Honer and Duty to God as Christians to do so. Jesus told us in
(Matt 5 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.) Well that tells me that one of my goals is to achieve this. But can i do this myself. This is what Jesus said about that
(Matthew 19:24-26 …
[26] Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”)
So Jesus said it was possible for men to be perfect. So when you are saved what happens. First you are cleansed of your sins Right? Now ask yourself this question If i take a bath and im clean Would i go afterwards and wallow with the pigs?
I would hope not. Then being washed clean would have been in vain. Its just like being washed clean of your sins. Afterwards you dont go wallow in the mud with the sinners.
So when Jesus said Repent and sin no more He meant it. He also said in (John 14-15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.)
So if we truly love God it wont be a task at all to keep His commandments. It will come naturally. Many disregard the law of God believing they are under grace. They also believe that they can do as they please and suffer no consequences just because they are saved. But let me ask you this. Are you really saved with this kind of mindset ? I would think not.
One who is truly saved would never think such a thing and if someone close to you is teaching these things, Rebuke them in the Love Of Christ if they dont turn from this then go your way.
“If you love me you will keep my commandments,” says Jesus to us today (John 14:15).
We could say that is a very strong statement by Jesus. Does this mean that every time we sin we do not love Jesus? Yes. Although we love Jesus, every time we commit sin we love something or someone else more than Jesus. If we love Jesus more than anything else we will keep ourselves free from sin for Jesus. If we love Jesus we will strive to give ourselves totally to him.
When we sin we are giving ourselves to something other than Jesus or to somebody other than Jesus. And when we love Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind and strength we will not want to put anything, no matter how small, before Jesus. Again the words of Jesus in our Gospel are,
“If you love me you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
Sometimes we hear people make statements like, “Jesus understands that I am human. He will forgive me.” Jesus is forgiving, we do not doubt Jesus’ mercy. But if we love Jesus more than anything we will put Jesus before whatever it is that is tempting us and we will try to root that sin out of our lives completely.

What a World!!
A Child is Precious and Innocent. How can one take the life of a baby over a game? I dont get it. I see my grandson and nothing he could ever do would make me hurt that precious boy.I see the news and i cant help but get depressed watching people destroy each other for nothing more that some paper with ink on it or a shiny rock that they call more precious than human life. They will kill each other over a baseball or football game if things dont go their way. They have wars over land that never belong to them in the first place. Pestilent is everywhere yet here in the usa we sit in our false peace and never knowing that an evil force is preparing to take control of your lives. They are using chips on people now instead of money. A computer called The Beast is already functioning. The devil is smarter than most know because he has their souls already wrapped up and ready to go and they have no clue he lives in their homes. Hes made a fool of the majority and i dont leave out those who supposedly are Christian but dont know even what The Bible says about the wicked things they do. They twist Scripture to suit them so they feel no guilt for their evil ways. Preachers everywhere leading people astray. Using Gods Word to lure them to an everlasting death. Better wake up people The Wolves are In The Herd!!!!!
