There are 2 roads!!!!

There are 2 roads!!!

There is the wide road which leads to places unknown and there is the narrow road. The bible says broad is the road that leads to destruction and many are on it. Narrow is the road that leads to everlasting life and few find it. What road are you on. Did you decide to take the broad road. Maybe the broad road has peaked your curiosity. As the saying goes" curiosity killed the cat. Who are you listening to when you make the decision to take the broad road. There is someone who gets joy out of people doing wrong. He hates us, all of us. Don't get it twisted. Satan is a liar and a deceiver who has no love for anyone. I hear there are followers of satan. Wow. What has the devil done for us that we should be so willing as to worship him. Is it he who created the earth, sun, moon, stars, ocean animals and us. Absolutely not. The one who created all of this is the one we should be seeking. He is the most High God. The one who said if we would seek his face and hearken our ears and rend our hearts he would heal us. He would heal our land, he would bless us in the field. Everywhere our feet goes he would bless. We would increase and not decrease. He would bless our womb, even our animals would be blessed. Just remember there is the highway to hell and there is the highway to heaven, this is very real. God Bless.

Pray Always!!!!

Prayer is communication with God. 

Prayer is a powerful weapon. Prayer is 

Created to have  constant communication with our father in heaven. 

We wait till things start falling apart. 

Prepare for the battle before the battle starts. We may feel that our 

Prayer life is lacking or doesn't live up to Gods expectation, truth is we feel it's difficult to pray or find time to pray especially when we are so busy. We tend to think well " I pray as I am walking out the door, or laying in my bed, or while I am driving myself to work. 

Don't feel guilty cause you haven't spent time praying. What we need is an 

Insatiable hunger to spend more time with God. So find that space or closet . We must create that alone time . God says " Come to him in prayer. Let's pray for sickness to be removed. Let's pray for wickedness to cease. Let's pray for righteousness to be exalted. Not my will but your will be done. In the name of Jesus Amen.

Mathew 6:5-13

Words from last Sunday's message in church.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet!!!

A lamp unto my feet!!!

Psalm 119:105 states " Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteousness. 

As I take a good look at my life and the mistakes that I have made I thank the Lord that I did not end up dead from some ignorant person or died from drunk driving or murdered in some gruesome cruel and evil way. The times have definitely changed. In my day I felt secure saying whatever I felt like saying without thinking that someone may shoot me for uttering the truth. Nowadays men carry guns. Especially the younger generation. Depending on which city or area you live in there is bound to be a shooting somewhere. It just doesn't feel safe to go to a club or party without someone acting a fool. I heard a story of a young lady being asked her phone number by a guy, she told him no so he pulled a gun on her. Wow, all for not giving him her number. Maybe he got told no too many times by too many women. But still the seriousness of the evil that is out there in the streets is not being heeded. 

I have realized that we are either walking in the light of Gods' word which leads to righteousness or we are walking in darkness. If we are telling lies, ( a small lie is not inexcusable) committing fornication, stealing, killing,  homosexuality, having sex with married men, having sex with married women,basically adultery, drinking and getting drunk,using drugs, gossiping, treating our brothers and sisters wrong, not having true love for one another, making plans to cheat, scheme or swindle others of their hard earned money, using others for gain, giving false report about others, manipulating others, sorcery, performing witchcraft, all of these sins means that we are walking in darkness. If you believe otherwise, please don't fool yourself. To walk in darkness means that we have not overcome the sins of the world. There is only one way to overcome the darkness and allow the Most High to be a light unto our feet and that is through Jesus Christ. When we wake up each morning and read Gods word he sends his Holy Spirit to guide us. He also sends his angels to protect us from evil. There is no way to live in this wicked and evil world and not have God and be sin free. It is impossible. So in order to live a righteous life we must put on the whole armor of God. His word is not only a light unto my feet to guide my steps but his word is also a shield to those who believe. I thank the Lord that he has me where I am right now. This is not the time nor is it the season to be playing around. The times are too evil. If you choose to have a one night stand, you have chosen to acquire aids, herpes or any  venereal Disease that is out here. Life is too short to take chances. If we had stayed in the word regardless of what society threw at us we would not have so many children out of wedlock. Many more households would be married. We would not have so many single mothers raising their children alone. As we can all see children need both parents and God in there lives. Gods word teaches us that if 2 people ( male and female) are overcome with each other they should marry. Society teaches us to use a condom instead of instilling abstinence. Gods word teaches us that our father is holy so therefore we should also live holy since he is our father. Society  teaches us that we are in control of ourselves so we do as thou will. God says" let his will be done, not my will but his will. If we keep letting society dictate what we should and should not do we will live a life full of misery here on earth and a permanent home in hell. There is such a big difference to what God ordained for his people. His word says that we are stiff necked people. We refuse to hearken unto his words. Right now I am reading Jeremiah and what I am learning is that God gets tired of our sinning and wrongdoings. He sends his prophets to warn us but we refuse to listen. The bible warns us of coming destruction for disobeying his word. In Jeremiah the Lord pronounced 70 years of captivity in Babylon for being disobedient. Why wait for Gods punishment when all we have to do is repent of our sins. He is gracious and forgiving. I do not want to see myself being destroyed because of disobedience and I certainly do not want to see you be destroyed either. 

Romans10:21 All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and Gainsaying people.

St Joseph !!!

St Joseph

Biography; 

St Joseph first appearing in the gospel of Mathew and Luke. St Joseph was the earthly father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary.

Wow, I am so flabbergasted at the thought of using a statue as a last resort to sell a house. 

 This sounds so unbelievable to me. I find it so hard to believe and I identify it as being equal to witchcraft, and voodoo. The bible speaks of witchcraft and we are commanded by God not to practice these things. 

Leviticus 20:6 - And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

Isaiah 8:19 - And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 

All statues are man made. They have eyes but they cannot see, ears they have but they cannot hear. They have legs, arms and a mouth but they are unable to eat, breath or walk. They have no soul. 

I work at a Christian book store and these statues are sold for one purpose only. When a person is unable to sell his or her house the statue is purchased. It is then  taken home where a hole is dug in the ground outside the home and the statue is placed upside down and covered in the ground. In my opinion this is witchcraft. A person is now relying on a statue to perform an act. Everyone who has come in to purchase these statues swear by this and refuses to listen to what God's word says about things like this. 

To rely on something man made shows me that people have given up dependency and belief in the creator and is seeking other alternatives for the outcome of their lives. As people we want instant gratification, as if God is magic and he should be working on our time instead of us being patient and waiting on his timing. I have learned that there is a lesson to be learned while waiting. So while we wait the Lord is working it out to our benefit. We cannot see it all but that is why life is a mystery. God himself is a mystery and all we have to do is follow his commandments, believe in his  will for our lives, and he will heal, bless and restore us. I cannot say that I am a believer of the almighty and then turn and do witchcraft. God and witchcraft does not mix. I cannot go to the dead for answers about the living. The bible specifically states that God is a God of the living not the dead. So whatever problems arise in life I hope to call on my God in prayer and in praises. The praises go up and the blessings come down. 

Keep God out of This !!!

Keep  God out of this

So the other day I was talking to a ten year old girl. This little girl lies and tries to manipulate situations. Because I know that she lies and I am able to catch her in her lies I told her that God does not like when people are being ugly and he also does not like disobedient children. She said " let's keep God out of this. At ten years old she knew that putting God in the equation meant that she has to take a deeper look at her actions and the words being said because her conscience now bears witness. This made me think of God being taken out of schools, and public displays. 

With God no longer in the forefront people can do whatever they feel like doing, because there is no reminder of God and his judgements. If there is no reminder of his judgements or his laws we have no idea nor can we account to the fact that we are breaking his laws each day. It is sad to say that no matter how much of an atheist one may be, our conscience is fully aware of the things that we do wrong. 

1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.  So a persons conscience will speak out against him or her. A hot iron gives off steam so the fire of hell has come against you and still you refuse to stop being a hypocrite and a liar. Some people say that there is no God while others say that there is no hell. Gods laws and his creations are all around us. He ordained everything.  Matthew 8:27  The men were amazed  and asked, " what kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him. The bible does also say that the soul that sin must die. Since most of us will face death then the soul which dies in sin will die a second death. Don't let anyone fool you.  

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. His word is true. There is such a place called hell. He also said in Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. So what on earth will it take to kill our souls. The same fire that it takes to kill Satan that old deceiver and the angels that rebel along with him. Let's remember that hell was not created for us but hell was created for Satan and his angels. As I see a volcano which gives off sulfur and fire coming up out of the earth. I believe that hell is not a place I want to be. 

This ten year old child not wanting to put God in the equation speaks volume in regards to adults and the rulers of this world also not wanting God in the equation. Sin will remain rampant. Crime will escalate, immorality will be the norm and no one will heed the warnings, because God could come at any time but the man of lawlessness must come first and we are near that time. Isaiah 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10, All they shall speak and say unto thee, art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us.11, Thy pomp is brought down low to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: The worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12, How art thou fallen from heaven, Oh Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above  the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  14,I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high 15, Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16,  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake a kingdom: 17, That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of the prisoners?( Let us bow our heads and pray to the Most High God). 

His Name!!!!!

His name!!!!

His name is Jesus Christ so I have been told. I have been calling on the name Jesus for many years. When I pray I say ' in Jesus name amen. 

I have heard before and now I find myself getting a bit confused about the name of God's begotten son Jesus Christ. I have been watching videos on YouTube of other Christians giving information to the fact that Jesus name is not Jesus because there was no letter J in the alphabet before a certain period. These videos also claim that earlier Christians did not know the name Jesus because it simply did not exist. 

So I decided to do some checking around on the Internet. I felt I needed to check this out because I found myself being confused in my prayers as to what to call my Lord and savior. I was being very bothered by this because I felt that these people were making a big deal about Jesus name and the letter J. I was very willing to defend the name Jesus because it is what I know. I could not understand why they were not concerned with the other names in the bible which also had the letter J in it. 

I tried to look up all the names of the prophets which had the letter J in them.  Jonah, Joel, Jeremiah, John, James,  Elijah, Jeconiah king of Juda, The people of Juda, Jericho the city, Jehovah God, John the baptist, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, Jerusalem the city, I'm sure I missed one but I wondered should I not call these name with the J sound and replace it with the original Y from the Hebrew text. I thought this is a bit too much and got upset all over again thinking about this. 

What I know is that I speak the English language and Jesus Christ is the name we use in the English language and God is a God of all languages. The more I thought and read about this I realized that I may be wrong. Gods name and his sons name were changed because earlier Christians thought that Gods name was too holy to be repeated by man so it got replaced. I just recently came across his name Yeshua. I have heard it in songs and I have heard it elsewhere. On this website  www. Whatdoesyeshuamean.com Yeshua  means salvation in Hebrew. 

There is something interesting which takes place in my mind when I say the name Yeshua. I become a little hesitant and want to cry. (The name Yeshua takes me to the cross at the moment when they pierced his side like in the movie passion of the Christ, however instead of water gushing from his side I see rain like a light summer rain and the sun shining). 

I copied this from the Website above, 

The name “Jesus” comes from the Latin Iesus, which comes from an Anglicized form of the Greek name Yesous. What this means  is that the Greek name Yesous was altered as it was adopted by the English language.  In the 1st century the Greek name Yesous represented the Hebrew name Yeshua, which was a shortened form of the Hebrew name Yehoshua.   Despite claims to the contrary, there is no historical or linguistic basis in any biblical texts for other modern forms of the name Yeshua, such as Yahshua, Yahushua, Yeshu, or Y’shua.  The name ‘Jesus’ did not yet exist during the the time that Jesus Christ was on Earth, approximately 4 BC to 29 or 34 AD.  It did not come into existence until it was configured by the Council of Nicea of the Roman Catholic Church in the 4th century.

I am not hoping to cause confusion but I hope to spread the truth. God Bless

Today I Pray!!!

Heavenly father I pray, I pray for those who have been gunned down mercilessly. The other day 1 man choose to walk into a church and take the lives of 9 parishioners. I don't know how true this comment is but I heard he prayed first and then killed innocent people. I do not believe that he was praying to you.

 Some people are disturbed and have been brainwashed into dispersing hate. You are a God of love. Why don't people see that. I go online and read people's hateful comments about black people and about you,God. 

They give excuses as to why it's ok to take someone else's life. They say the laws need to be obeyed. Whose laws. These are not and in no way are they your laws God. 

This world is in turmoil and you told us these things would happen. Today 1 man decided to take the life of a police officer. I hear the news even if I don't want to. I hear the news of innocent blacks being gunned down across America by police officers. To take the life of another is sin and you tell us to not murder. Lord please help us, as a nation as a people across this world because it is happening all across this whole world. I keep saying that the world needs you Lord. This world needs love but there are many who teach hate, and violence. You are the love that we need. 

 Heavenly father I have heard all kinds of hateful things about myself but I refuse to pick up a gun and start killing innocent people. You said that" vengeance is mines, says the Lord. So I will let your holy spirit guide me in everything that I do. 

No one is concerned about anything or other peoples problems unless it affects them. People go on their merry way and continue the same pattern of hate tomorrow. 

God is merciful and he has mercy on us because he created us and he loves us. Man has and does not know mercy because he will drop a bullet and a bomb and go about his day to day and laugh about it.  People take the life as if they have the power to give and take a life. God out of his love and generosity giveth life. Wicked and abominable people take life with no regards to the consequence.

I know this world is ending soon because wickedness cannot go on forever. For those who do not believe in God and a savior just know that Jesus is coming soon so why get caught off guard. 

Watch and pray so that you may be able to escape the things which  are about to take place and that you will be able to stand before the son of man. Luke 21:36
