I have noticed something here Oct 29, 2008 6:36 am

The People who love the Lord seem to talk about him and how wonderful he is. Then there are the few who talk and go on and on about their organization and its beliefs. Others notice that too?

I just want to thank the Lord Oct 29, 2008 4:18 am

The Lord put a new friend in my life yesterday that is going through similar in what I am in bringing Mercy here. They have been able to meet their mate a few times in other countries. I am very happy for them and they are still in the process.

It is good and encouraging to me because few people honestly understand why you choose the journey that you do. I know why I fell for Mercy. It didn't happen overnight. It took time, years actually. She called this morning early and I called her right back and we had a wonderful time talking. I am glad she could even understand me because my voice gets deep when I first wake up.

I just want to thank the Lord for sending me a friend that is experiencing this and understands. Thank You Lord Jesus! All Glory to you!

Guarding? Oct 28, 2008 4:53 am
112 Views
There are eons of scriptures in the Word that tells us to guard. Guard your heart, guard your spirit. Discern etc etc. I think it is important to heed these warnings.

Another warning is of the leaven in the bread and how it takes over and ruins what the intention of the loaf of bread is. I will go one step further for Americans. Our constitution was based written based on Judeau law. The founding fathers wrote a huge warning that America has failed to yield to.They said that unless we voted in good men, the constitution meant very little because it would be undermined by bad people. Thomas Jefferson wrote that he did not believe the constitution would be honored for more than 70 years.

In both cases it has proven true. We have many cults that have taken the bible and used parts of it while adding much of their own stuff that distorts the real Gospel of Christ.

In 1892 The Supreme Court of the United States stated that the US Constitution is not a living organism and means just what it says. It doesn't change with time. I find that interesting because with the decay of this country is the ravaging of this wonderful document, one that most Americans have never read.

Its the same way with Christianity as many try and encompass all religions in with Christianity. On both issues this only happens because good men do nothing and ignore and let their guards down. I personally encourage everyone to rethink and hold tight to discernment and guard yourselves.

its not the signs and wonders Oct 27, 2008 4:25 am

It is the fact of who Jesus is, what he did for us and what our heritage is in him. If we look to our relationship to him through the Holy Spirit, any sign or wonder we see will be nice, but it is not what should drive us as the Holy Spirit resides in us in the most intimate way.

How can we think our petitions or prayers are cast aside as he lives in us? If we take that approach and just wait on him and pray for his will to be done, we will in his time and way see it!

Just saw a post that was a repost by a poor mislead person trying to claim Jesus is not God, not the Messiah and of course attacked Paul who is the father of the New Covenant Church.

That is a normal procession of satan to be honest.

defining moment for me Oct 26, 2008 6:39 am

Yesterday was a defining moment for Mercy and I. She is home in Benin after a hard stay in Abuja. We in America think life is hard when we lose a job or are late on some payment.

In her country when they go to college and get any type of government assistance at all they requre one year of work,usually in a university. Its minimal pay and very tough because you have to pay for your own lodging. For students just out of college, that part of it is tough. There is nothing fair about it.

If you do not fulfill this obligation, then you do not get your college diploma. It is held up. In Mercy's case she was placed in a city that is the capitol of the country and it is more expensive there. Its almost impossible to make this work unless you were to sell yourself. She had already had to deal with unethical Professors at college and had to pay them money to leave her alone. I often wonder how Christians survive intact. She has, but it has been very hard on her emotionally.

Her family has helped her some finacially in her education in Abraka where she graduated in Linguistics. Yet they cant help her now because one of her uncles who had helped passed away this summer.

Yesterday I had to break the news to her that her degree would not be recognized here in America. Many doctors from her country that come here can not pass the medical tests and are started out as nurses instead. Eventually they can become doctors.

Her language knowledge however can place her on call for emergencies and she can be paid well for that. She can hold a government job here also.

But the issue is her family being upset if she does not go back to Abuja. I have known her tears and the great stress she has felt. It has been of great burden to me. Yesterday I told her to not go back. I told her that when we get her here, we together will pay back her family. She can also go to school here. Whatever she wants, we will find a way, but not to worry about fulfilling something that her government has made almost impossible for her.

She went on to say, there are so many people she knows that have money but will not help. Many that just want something she is unwilling to give in return. Thats why I said enough. We will pay those who feel she is obligated to them. Whatever it takes. I just want her safe and happy.

Jn's vision of Jesus Oct 26, 2008 5:55 am
118 Views
John then sees a vision of Jesus, but what he saw was beyond words and the only way he could describe what he saw, was by the symbolism, of how Jesus chose to present Himself.

He is wearing the long flowing robe. That was the robe of the ancient judges. The person, who John sees, is the one who is the final authority among men. He is the one who is man’s final and ultimate judge.

His hair is as white as snow. A symbol among judges is white hair; if you go to England the judges there still wear white hair. You notice that in Proverbs, it talks about white hair being the sign of maturity and wisdom, except that in this case the hair is as white as snow. In Daniel chapter 7 you read of one who is called the Ancient of Days. This is the Eternal One, whose hair is as white as snow, here is ultimate wisdom; here is ultimate discernment, here in this person is the WISDOM & JUDGEMENT of God.

His eyes were as flames of fire. When Isaiah met this one whose eyes were as a flaming fire, of course it does not state that in Isaiah 6 but the intimation is there – he suddenly met with someone who knew him perfectly, and said, ‘Woe to me’.

His voice was like the sound of many waters. All through the Bible, water speaks of life, and this is where man’s spirit drinks, or is fed, so here is a waterfall of life. When you stand by Niagara or Victoria Falls, it is an awful, frightening, majestic sound of great power. It is many sounds that make up just one sound in perfect harmony, that strikes wonder in the heart.

His words were like a two edged sword. I will never forget His voice, and the words that were in His voice. It sounded like a sword coming out of His mouth. Remember the Scripture in Hebrews chapter 4 it says that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.

His feet were like burnished bronze in the fire. Those of you that have studied Exodus will remember that whenever you find brass in the Bible, if it is in a symbolical context, it is speaking of judgment, and so the judgment is in His feet. So wherever He is, there is the judgement.

His face shone like the sun. 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 6 says; For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. When John met Jesus in the cave, he did not put his head on His shoulder, he fell at His feet as one dead! John saw the fullness of deity, expressed in glorified manhood.

You have seen pictures or models of the lamp stand, which was in the Temple. It has seven branches. Three on either side, and the centre one, seven. John said, I saw this One and He stood in the midst of seven lamp stands. And in the last verse of this chapter Jesus Himself gives us the interpretation of that Vision.

He said the seven lamp stands are the seven churches and so you have at the centre, the glorified ascended Jesus, and vitally united to Him you have the seven churches. So not only is He the Lord of the Church, but also He is the Life of the Church.

Ephesus had lost its first love Smyrna, they were under heavy persecution because they would not join the unions. Pergamom – they had yielded on the inside to the world system and the flesh, as had Thyatira also. Sardis was being attacked on the inside by false religion. Philadelphia was quivering under heavy persecution, while Laodicea had its jumble sales and rolled in its affluence and said we are the best and the biggest, you should have seen our Sunday school last week. And to Laodicea Jesus said, I have excommunicated the entire denomination, there is no more church in Laodicea. However, if anybody should hear my voice, above all your committee meetings, I am standing on the outside, knocking the door, and if you want to come outside we can have fellowship together.

But God never has. So much of our time can be spent trying to find your niche in life, as well as the body of Christ. The places you have attended and eventually left often forget about a person when they stop being an active member. Sometmes we think it is a sign of how little our presense meant there, but just as often its just how the system is. Programed to react to the people in action and not so much the people in need.

But you never walk past the paremeters of Gods' love for you. You cant out give him and you can not out love him. He is always there to fellowship with you.
