..."ARE YOU REALLY "BELIEVING THE GOSPEL?"...OR WHAT?"...

Jean-Louis Laflamme

..."ARE YOU REALLY "BELIEVING THE GOSPEL?"...OR WHAT?"...READ ON...

"Many Christians today are afraid of the gospel. We are afraid of the gospel because it is too good. Many of us are more comfortable with religion than we are with the gospel. We prefer to read the Bible as a divine rulebook that guards the entrance to the kingdom than to "read it" or "study it" as God’s witness to his redemption of the whole cosmos through his Son...WOW !!!...

..."We prefer to think that when God breathed the life of his Word into the Bible, he was merely creating a religion...a divine formula to show humans what things to do and not to do in order to get on God’s good side and stay there...hummmm...

"But the gospel is not a new and improved religion.The gospel is an affront to religion. It is the end of religion, the end of all systems of works designed to make us acceptable to God. The gospel, by contrast, tells us that God himself has already, through Jesus-Christ, made us acceptable. The gospel is good news; religion is bad news; and the gospel wins. Christ is victorious. Sin is vanquished...

..."We are over comers only in Christ, not in our overcoming anything. We are sinners, always have been and will continue to be to the day we die. Whatever we may have overcome is like removing a spoonful of sand from the beach. Unless and until we are found in Christ, "we remain dead in our sins". And we are found in Christ only by trusting him to be for us who he says he is and to do for us what he says he does. Only when we trust him will we accept his gift of mercy and life, and only when we wake up to our sinfulness will we trust him...

..."As long as we think we are "doing OK," or that we "aren’t all that bad" or that we are "making progress" or even that we will never be "good enough," we will not trust him. All such thinking is trusting not him, but ourselves.....It is thinking that his acceptance of us is based on how well we behave. It is thinking that if we do better, then he will accept us, or conversely, that he accepts us because we have been overcoming...

"God accepts us because he wants to accept us, and not because we have measured up. God dealt with our sin by the blood of Christ, not by giving us a new and improved law code. We are justified because God justified us himself, personally, through his Son. God did for us in Christ what we could not do for ourselves, and he calls on us to trust him to be our righteousness...1 Corinthians 1:30...

..."That means we do not have righteousness. It is not just a matter that we "have got some problems." It is not just a matter that we have "a few things to overcome." It is not even a matter of "putting sin out of our lives." It is a matter of understanding that we are hopeless losers, sinners through and through, and that even our "good" deeds are thoroughly laced with selfish impurity. Until we see that, until we see ourselves for what we really are, we will not trust him who alone saves sinners...

..."Fear of the gospel"...
"Many Christians are afraid of the gospel because it puts everybody on the same level.."All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"..Romans 3:23.. That means we, being sinners ourselves, have no ground to feel spiritually superior to people who do things that disgust and offend us. Others are afraid of the gospel because the gospel requires them to believe that God will save them in spite of their sins. We have a hard time trusting God to do exactly what he promised to do...forgive us our sins...

"We want to prove to him we can "do it." We want to show him we’ll be faithful, that we will be obedient, that we will be "good Christians." But the truth is, "we won’t be". We "will sin, and we will sin again, and again" And until we believe the gospel, instead of some fairy tale about having to please God before he will accept us, we will not enter God’s rest. God saves us; changes in our behavior do not...

..."We can live in misery, "struggling to be found worthy" by perfect obedience and constantly failing and fearing that God is waiting to squash us like flies, or we can trust his Word. Or even worse, we can live in appalling arrogance, actually believing that we are worthily obeying God and trusting him to accept us for our "holy deeds."

"God is our salvation"... our improved behavior is not. To repent is to turn to God and away from ourselves. It is to concede that we are sinners and that we need God’s mercy. It is to trust God to be faithful to his word of grace spoken in his Son before the world began. It is to remove our little homemade crown and hand it over to our Maker, the author of our eternal salvation...

"God is our righteousness"... our illusion of good behavior is not. When we come to see our righteousness as "filthy rags" as indeed it is, then we can begin to see our need for God’s grace and mercy. When we believe his word of salvation in his Son, then we can begin to trust him to forgive all our sins and save us...

..."Trusting God"...
"Why is it so hard to trust God to forgive us and to make us his perfectly righteous children in Christ? Perhaps one reason is because we can’t stand to think of ourselves as, or to think that others might think of us as, bald-faced sinners. We prefer the facade of pretending to be good, decent folks. But we are not good, decent folks. Nobody is good, decent folks. At best, we are less destructive and wicked than we could be if we let ourselves go entirely...hummmm...true!!!

..."Have you ever noticed that if you behave decently for a day or two, you begin to feel like you are a pretty good person after all?...And conversely, if your natural self gets loose for few minutes and you behave like the "ratbag you are", then you feel depressed, disappointed and frustrated that you are not as grand as you had been imagining?...

..."But what is there to be disappointed about? Why, given what you are, were you expecting not to behave accordingly from time to time? Our disappointment ought to be in our failure to honor the God of our salvation, not in our failure to look impeccable to ourselves and others. If it were, then we would be free to see more clearly that in spite of our sin, we can rest in the atonement of Christ, for our sins are forgiven in him. The reason we need a Savior is because we need "saving". The gospel declares that God has indeed saved us through Christ. In fact, Jesus-Christ died for us ungodly people while we were still sinners...Romans 5:8...

"Now please don’t tell me that we "were" sinners, but now we are not to be sinners anymore. Please drop the rhetoric. "We are sinners". We do "still sin" after conversion Every Christian who ever lived "continues to sin after conversion" That doesn’t make sin OK. It doesn’t condone sin. It is simply a fact, and one we would all do much better to just admit and quit pretending that if we try hard enough we will become sinless...

..."There is one way, of course, in which we are not sinners. As believers we are in Christ, and as such we are not sinners in the sense that God does not count our sins against us..Romans 4:8.. In other words, when we do not pretend that we are not sinners, but instead put our trust in Jesus-Christ who saves sinners, God does not count our sins against us....compare in...1 Timothy 1:15...

..."Over comers"...
"What must we do about sin?"We must trust God to forgive our sins"Yes we must trust him" He is our only hope. We are sinners, and unless God forgives our sins, we come under the condemnation all sinners deserve. We are not going to stop being sinners. I’m sure you have tried, like I have, and discovered that despite occasional bouts of improvement, sin is still alive and well in your life. But God says that if we trust him he will take care of our sins and he will count us righteous in Christ who, for our sakes, became the perfect human...AWESOME IS IT?...God will take care of our sins !!!...

The Bible is not a rulebook for new and improved religion. It is the Word of God, God’s chosen revelation of himself to us, declaring to us that in Jesus Christ he has dealt with the sins of the world so that whoever trusts him will be saved. That is good news. It is the "gospel". It is "not religion"....Don’t be afraid of it !!!...

"I know. You’re still waiting for me to say something about the importance of behaving right. But I’m not going to. At least not in the way you are probably used to. We are over comers in Christ alone; when it comes to godly overcoming, there is no other way to be an over comer...

..."When you trust Jesus-Christ to be your righteousness, your behavior will be set by the Holy-Spirit on the road to improvement, regardless of whether you constantly set "overcoming goals" for yourself. But if you try to improve your behavior without trusting Christ to be your only righteousness, you may or may not be successful, and whether or not you are won’t make a hill of beans of difference in terms of your standing with God...

..."In other words, salvation is not based on what you do; it is based on what God has already done. When you trust God, you are in Christ, and when you are in Christ,"God does not count your sins against you". If you do not trust God, you are still in your sins, because you are not in Christ...

..."Priorities"...
"Here’s a gospel tip: don’t make behaving better your main goal in life. If you do, you’ll always be frustrated, disappointed in yourself and miserable, not to mention a judgmental and obnoxious prig. You’re welcome to it if you want it, of course. But will-powering yourself into a better you is a no-win life goal. Will-power goodness is the root of religion;..."it has.."no place"..in the gospel"...

..."Instead, make your main goal in life knowing and trusting in the Lord your God for absolutely everything, including your behavior. When you do that, your preoccupation with yourself and how good you are will fade, and your eyes will begin to open to the righteousness of God and the joy and peace of his kingdom. The Holy-Spirit will reorder your priorities, and the pain your sins naturally cause in your life will more readily drive you to God for mercy and help to overcome...

"Let me say it another way: Work on yourself and make every effort to change for the better...but not because you think it will make you less a sinner and get you in good with God. Take overcoming seriously. Do it because God wants you to, because Jesus- Christ gave you a new life, because it is right, because everybody who loves you wants you to, and because it will make your life much more blessed, rewarding, peaceful and pleasant. But don’t do it because you think that’s how you will get into the kingdom of God. It isn’t.......

..."Regardless of how much you improve and you need a lot of improvement I know you; you’re just like me, you are still a sinner, and the only hope of salvation you’ve got is the mercy of God along with his word that in Christ he extends it to you. Trust him, not your good life, when it comes to salvation. When it comes to salvation, trust the word of God that in Christ it is a fait accompli; when it comes to behavior, trust yourself to the supervision of the Holy-Spirit and put your heart into overcoming"...

"Don’t think that good behavior results in salvation; but know that salvation results in good behavior. But don’t let that make you think that poor behavior equals unsaved and good behavior equals saved. It simply does not work that way; don’t forget that we all still sin. Sin involves not merely acts but attitudes, and "God knows even the deepest secrets of our hearts"...

..."My brothers and sisters in Christ-Jesus..."Rest in this"... God loves you; he’s proven it in Christ, and he will make you into what he wants you to be. You can trust him to do it. Get to know him by reading your bible and Spend time with him by studying His words. Put your confidence in him. Make Him the "priority in your life", and you will begin to find his love influencing the way you live in the world and the way you interact with others...

"Whether we experience hardship or ease, prosperity or poverty, bad times or good times..and Christians experience them all.. our ability to cope with what comes our way will depend on our trust in God. But all the while, because we are in Christ, our salvation is not in question. "We are saved by God’s grace through faith", and even our faith is God’s gracious gift to us...

..."Remember, the gospel is good news. It is "the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes"...Romans 1:16...Therefore, as Hebrews 10:23...encourages us, "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

May our Great and Mighty God "always" bless You in all your biblical studies...being diligent and also being faithful in our calling by doing the true "BELIEVING THE GOSPEL" by our actions !!!...Remember...the Gospel is "Good News"

TAKE A REALLY DEEP BREATH...
......
Just Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.

"Your son is here," she said to the old man.

She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of
love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.

"Who was that man?" he asked.
The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."

"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"

"I knew right away there had been a mistake,
but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here.

When I realized that he was too sick to tell
whether or not I was his son,
knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."
I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey. His Son was Killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to inform him. What was this Gentleman's Name? The Nurse with Tears in Her Eyes Answered, Mr. William Grey.............

The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.

*GENESIS 1:1-31* 2:1-25*

Genesis 1

1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth.

1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.

1:3 And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.

1:5 And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

1:6 And Elohim said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

1:7 And Elohim made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

1:8 And Elohim called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

1:9 And Elohim said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

1:10 And Elohim called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and Elohim saw that it was good.

1:11 And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.

1:13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

1:14 And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

1:16 And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

1:17 And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohim saw that it was good.

1:19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

1:20 And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

1:21 And Elohim created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.

1:22 And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

1:23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

1:24 And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

1:25 And Elohim made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.

1:26 And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27 So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them.

1:28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

1:29 And Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

1:31 And Elohim saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Genesis 2

2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2:2 And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

2:3 And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Elohim created and made.

2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Elohim made the earth and the heavens,

2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

2:7 And Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

2:8 And Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

2:9 And out of the ground made Elohim to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

2:15 And Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

2:16 And Elohim commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

2:18 And Elohim said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

2:19 And out of the ground Elohim formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

2:21 And Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

2:22 And the rib, which Elohim had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

*WARNING FROM A FORMER MUSLIM*

*This is something that I have copied from a new friends wall. This will be something that we need to know for the beginning of this new year!!!!****Please read and let me know if you read it.*

WARNING FROM A FORMER MUSLIM

I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. The following are the Islamic message to the West.

To the infidels of the West:

The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.

We will fight the infidel to death.

- Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
- Democrats and Leftist will support us.
- N.G.O.s will legitimize us.
- C.A.I.R. will incubate us.
- The A.C.L.U. will empower us.
- Western Universities will educate us.
- Mosques will shelter us
- O.P.E.C. will finance us
- Hollywood will love us.
- Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.

Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.

We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.

We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.

We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.

Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes. Who are we?

We are the “sleeper cells”.

We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.

At the time of the real fight we will hold our own children as our armor. When American or Israeli troops shoot at us the world will be watching. Imagine,… Imagine the news in the world “Death of Muslim babies by infidels”.

We know CNN, ABC, CBS are broadcasting live. Al-Jazeera will pour gasoline on the fire. The news will spread like wildfire. “Americans killed 6 babies, 10 babies”. “Jews killed two women”,

Keep your Nukes in your curio cabinets. Keep your aircraft carrier or high-tech weaponry in the showcase. You can't use them against us because of your own higher moral standard. We will take the advantage of your higher moral standard and use it against you. We won’t hesitate to use our children as suicide bomber against you.

Visualize the news flash all over the world, …Moslem mother is sobbing, ….crying. Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live. Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe. We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as armor/shield. Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.

West manufactures their tanks in the factory. We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies. That is the way it is cheaper.

You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us?

On the camera:

- We will always say, “Islam is the religion of Peace.”
- We will say, “Jihad is actually inner Jihad.”
- Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the
West will believe it because the West is so gullible.
- Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadist by their talk by defending Islam.
- Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.
- We will increase in number. We will double again.

You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say, “wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people”, But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.

There will be more 911 in Europe and in America. We will say, “We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved.”

Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite. We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France. Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.

We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it. We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender - ISLAM means surrender.

We will use your own values of kindness against you.

You are destined to lose.

AS DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST

AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE A FULL-TIME MINISTER!

The purpose of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers is to perfect you...to fully equip you as a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ...not so that you can sit in your church Sunday after Sunday like a "bump on a log".

God's purpose is that you walk out of your fully equipped to go back into your sphere of influence...your home, school, work place...full of the power and authority of the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel, to break the devil's power, to cast out devils, to lay hands on the sick, and to MAKE OTHER DISCIPLES who will do the same!

Wow do you realize what's happening to you and I when we are under a ministry year after year? We're BECOMING DISCIPLES...DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.

As a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ, you are a FULL-TIME minister! Your main profession is not being a housewife, police officer, doctor, teacher, secretary, carpenter, accountant, farmer, or retired. The world system with the devils help has deceived the body of Christ. We need to get our eye off of the worlds business. Get your eyes off the tools of your trade.Our main profession being a Disciple... a LIVING WITNESS... of Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.*

*Our main goal... our main purpose as a DISCIPLE...must be to build the kingdom of God upon the earth. Our desires must be focused upon fulfilling the commission Christ has given you of "MAKING DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS."*

JESUS TRAINED AND EQUIPPED HIS DISCIPLES TO DO THE SAME WORKS HE HAD DONE

*We need he Holy Spirit to breathe upon us, as He did upon the early Church, to shake us out of the traditions that are binding and holding us back. We need the Holy Spirit to give us a clear vision...to cut through our man-made ideas and methods of doing things, so that we can understand what God has called us to do.*

*We need a fresh Baptism of the Holy Spirit that will place a burning desire and commitment deep into our spirits,that will make us willing to set our minds to fulfill God's plan and purpose regardless of the personal cost to us.*

*We could be in the final days just before Jesus' returns. We don't have time to play games. Our Churches need to face the problems and quit covering them up. And we can no longer set around and do something about them. We need to get these things out in the open and face them head on in the strength of the Name that is above every Name...Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God!*

*We can never reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ from behind the pulpit. Never! We must have a breakthrough in our environment...in the church...where members of the Body of Christ have a fresh vision of the work God has called them to do, and where they respond in single-minded obedience.*

*Throughout the world, God is raising up a mighty end time army of men and women...who are full of power and anointing of the Holy Spirit Who are equipped with signs and wonders as their credentials, who are united together for one specific purpose
...to proclaim the Gospel of the kingdom of God in a DEMONSTRATION of power throughout the nations of the world!

You are part of this end time army.


**So let us all leave 2011 behind and start the New Year out by becoming Mighty Warriors for our Lord Jesus Christ!**

GOD'S PLAN IS PEOPLE POWER

*God's Plan Is People Power!*

*As a church body we are bound by "spiritual ignorance." Our pews are filled with converts....followers of Jesus Christ...who do not understand what it means to be a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ. They haven't been taught there is a price to pay. They haven't been taught that to be a DISCIPLE they must give up their lives and follow CHRIST in single-minded obedience. They haven't been taught they are responsible for doing the work of the ministry.*

**God's plan is PEOPLE POWER. He doesn't work through structures. He works through men and women. The God that we serve is a God of purpose. He has placed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers in the Church to build up and fully equip the saints to be DISCIPLES...to do the work of the ministry.**(Ephesians 4:11-12)

***Who did Paul say was going to do the work?
***Who did he say was going to do the ministering?

The SAINTS...God's consecrated people! God has planned for all the members of the Body of Christ to do the work of the ministry, not just the preachers standing behind the pulpit.

****AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE A FULL-TIME MINISTER!****Pastor Jack Sparrow

AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE A FULL-TIME MINISTER!

The purpose of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers is to pertect you...to fully equip you as a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ...not so that you can sit in your church Sunday after Sunday like a "bump on a log".

God's purpose is that you walk out of your fully equipped to go back into your sphere of influence...your home, school, work place...ful of the power and authorityof the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel, to break the devil'spower, to cast out devils, to lay hands on the sick, and to MAKE OTHER DISCIPLES who will do the same!

Wow do you realize what's happening to you and I when we are under a ministry year after year? Were're BECOMING DISCIPLES...DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.

*As a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ, you are a FULL-TIME minister! Your main profession is not being a housewife, police officer, doctor, teacher, secretary, carpenter, accountant, farmer, or retired. The world system with the devils help has deceived the body of Christ. We need to get our eye off of the worlds business. Get your eyes off the tools of your trade.Our main professionis being a Disciple... a LIVING WITNESS... of Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.*

*Our main goal... our main purpose as a DISCIPLE...must be to build the kingdom of God upon the earth. Our desires must be focused upon fulfilling the commission Christ has given you of "MAKING DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS."*

*THE SECRET OF UNFOLDING FLOWERS*

A new minister was walking with an older,more seasoned minister in the garden one day.

Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do,he was asking the older preacher for some advice.

The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals.

The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry.

But because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact.

It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.

Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it,
the older preacher began to recite the following poem...

"It is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God's design;But I cannot unfold the petals
with these clumsy hands of mine."

"The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I. GOD opens this flower so easily, but in my hands they die."

"If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of God's design, then how can I have the wisdom To unfold this life of mine?"

"So I'll trust in God for leading each moment of my day. I will look to God for guidance in each step along the way."

"The path that lies before me,Only my Lord and Savior knows. I'll trust God to unfold the moments, just as He unfolds the rose."

Please share this poem with a friend if you enjoyed being reminded to let go.... and let God unfold your life. Have a Great Day!

*SOME STILL SEEK TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY HIM*

Matthew:2:1: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Matthew:2:2: Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew:2:3: When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Matthew:2:4: And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Matthew:2:5: And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

Matthew:2:6: And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Matthew:2:7: Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Matthew:2:8: And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

Matthew:2:9: When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

Matthew:2:10: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Matthew:2:11: And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew:2:12: And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Matthew:2:13: And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Matthew:2:14: When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Matthew:2:15: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Matthew:2:16: Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

Matthew:2:17: Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

Matthew:2:18: In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Matthew:2:19: But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

Matthew:2:20: Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

Matthew:2:21: And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Matthew:2:22: But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

Matthew:2:23: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.


THE WISE STILL SEEK HIM

John 10:10*says the Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy.*This is the work of the devil.*The devil is a taker, he tries to take every good thing that the Lord Jesus has given.*Take, Take, and Take.*

**Don't let Satan steal it from you. Satan will steal it from, he will kill you, and he will destroy you in hell with him and his little demons.**

John 10:10*also says that I [Jesus] has come to give life and give more abundantly.*This is the work of our Lord Jesus Christ.*Jesus is a giver, a giver of life.*He gave us salvation even when we didn't want it.*

**That gift is waiting on you right now, don't let Satan steal it from you. Satan will steal it from, he will kill you, and he will destroy you in hell with him and his little demons.**

**These people have all tried to remove anything and everything to do with CHRIST**

WE WILL WIN BECAUSE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR IS IN THE FIGHT ON OUR BEHALF

 

 JESUS/YESHUA IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, HE WAS BORN INTO THIS WORLD. WE KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT ON THE 25TH DAY OF DECEMBER. THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD TRY AND REMOVE HIS BIRTH, SO WHY WOULD YOU WORK WITH THEM TO REMOVE CHRIST FROM ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. GOD HAS GIVE US EVERY DAY TO WORSHIP HIM. WE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN WILL TAKE BACK ALL THAT BELONGS TO US. DON'T BE GIVING IT AWAY TO THE EVIL IN THIS WORLD!

*THE BIRTH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST*

Luke 2:1-20
Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this [is] the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased. And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

Matthew 2:1-12
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written through the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come forth a governor, who shall be shepherd of my people Israel. Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshiped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Micah 5:2
But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
Compare Translations

Matthew 1:18-25* The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. But Joseph her husband, being a kindhearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal. But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name Jesus for He it is who will save His People from their sins." All this took place in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet, "Mark! the maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" —a word which signifies 'God with us'. When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife, but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called Jesus.

JESUS THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

Jesus said-I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

What a joy, it is to share with you once again. I do hope you are blessed by what I share from God's word.



I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

Acts 4:12*And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

As we witness to others, about our faith. Some people may say that, we are being exclusive in our portrayal of Jesus, as the one and only answer to the problem of Sin.

But, we are only repeating, what Jesus himself said in John 14:6*Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

There are many faiths in this world, but there is only one way to Salvation.. Amen. That is through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus, by His Death and Resurrection.. Amen


Ephesians 2:7-9He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.

8.For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved ([c]delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;

9.Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.

Salvation, is all of God.. Amen. Jesus is the only way to the Father.

knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Faith***Romans 10:8-14***But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Faith in The Name of Jesus Christ!

John 14:12 -18***Jesus said:"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes[he who believes] in Me, the works that I do he will do also; & greater works than these he will do, [why?] because I go to My Father."
13."And whatever you ask [whatever you ask] in My Name, that I will do, [I will do] that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
14."If you ask anything [if you ask anything in My Name] in My Name, I will [I will] do it.
***Here is Why***Verse 15. "If you love Me [do you love Him] keep My commandments. [we can only keep the Commandments with the help of the Holy Spirit;the believer must make Christ & the Cross the Object of his Faith, this will give the Holy Spirit the opportunity to to work in our lives & help us to do the things that we can not do alone!]

Verse 16. "And I will pray the Father, & He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. [before the Cross, the Holy Spirit could only help a few individuals, & then only for a period of time; since the Cross, He lives in the hearts & lives in all believers, & does so forever]

Verse 17."The Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you & will be in you. [The Greek says, "The Spirit of Truth," which refers to the Word of God]the proper Faith in Christ & the Cross desires only the Will of God, this Will guarantee you to be carried forth.

Verse 18."I will not leave you orphans;[helpless I will come to you.[through the Person of the Holy Spirit]

John 15:7 & 8***"If you abide in Me, & My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, & it shall be done for you. [keep your faith anchored in Christ & the Cross, this is the source of our life, without the proper Faith in Christ & the Cross, the Believer will ultimately withers] the proper Faith in Christ & the Cross desires only the Will of God, this Will guarantee you to be carried forth.
8."By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

***In verse 7, I counted you 5 times!!!*** [you, you, you, you, you]

Acts 3:16***By faith in His Name, His Name has made this man strong, [presents the key to all things!]whom you see & know. [there was no denying the Miracles]So the faith that comes through Him [Jesus] has given him[this crippled man] this perfect health in front if all of you.[total healing, no partial healing, total healing which is the way the Lord Jesus does all things].(CBS)

Acts 4:4***But many of those who heard the message believed,[they believed on Christ, there by accepting Him as the Messiah of Israel & the Savior of men] & the number of the men came to about 5,000. [seems to speak only of the men, so including women & children , it could of been ten thousand or more that believed.

Acts 4:32***Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart & soul, & no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common.
[The experience of the Christians of the Jerusalem Church in sharing their possessions is not to be taken as the norm for all Christians churches or communities. This voluntary sharing of possessions in the time of persecution is a beautiful evidence of the oneness of the believers. Evidently it was restricted to the Jerusalem Church. It also was voluntary, & in times of persecutions.]

SOUL and SPIRITof MAN

1. Man has a body. In this he is like all creation of God through the animal and vegetable world.
2. Man possess a soul. In this we are unlike the trees , plants, and lower animals. The soul is the seat of our emotions, our passions, our feelings, our feelings, our desires, our affections, our likes and dislikes, and our will. All these thing we have in common with the God.
3. Man is a spirit. In this he is unique among God's creatures. "The spirit of a man is the candle of Jehovah"Proverbs 20:27, and it is this that is set aglow when man is born-again; and the God's Spirit testifies with man's spirit that he is a child of God. God cannot be known by the body, nor by the soul, but only by the spirit. And even the human spirit is incapable of finding out anything about God or of knowing God except by revelation of the Spirit of God.
"For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God...But the soulish (so the Greek) man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they anew foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritually discerneth all things, yet he himself discerned of no man" 1 Corinthians 2:11-15.

The believer is spiritual only when he is ruled through his own spirit by the Spirit of God. If he is ruled by his body as dominated by his soul, he becomes a slave to his own affections, appetites, emotions, passions, and therefore is a willful, selfish man. The Word of God is is very careful to distinguish: between the things of the soul and the spirit even judging "the thoughts and the intents of the heart" as to whether such thoughts and intents are spiritual or soulish, Hebrews 4:12. It declares that any wisdom which is not from above and therefore not from the Spirit of God, is earthly, soulish, devilish" James 3:15. It asserts that the false teachers of the end-time are "they who make separations, soulish, having not the Spirit" Jude 19; and finally, it gives us the glorious assurance that when we get our resurrected bodies 1 Corinthians 15:44 they will be no longer soulish [natural' is incorrect here also], but spiritual: no longer dominated by selfishness and willfulness, but rather under the full and free control of the Spirit of God.
