Blind and Deaf Sinners

Adultery is a sin, you must beware,
Friend, it’s wrong to think, it’s just an affair.
God sees the lust in your eyes, and your heart,
Immorality is sin, you must depart.

Murder is sin; “But I’ve killed no one” you say,
But God looks at things, a whole diff’rent way.
If you hate your brother, Heav’n you’ll not see,
Far, far from you, is life eternally.

God’s Word clearly tells us, we must not lie,
Or in Hell, we’ll eternally die.
When we tell ‘white lies’, it is strictly wrong,
We must not go along, with Satan’s throng.

Thou shalt not steal, God so clearly tells,
Robbery is a sin, that leads to Hell.
Men start work late, quit early ev’ry day,
And steal from their boss, in so many ways.

Coveting, what to another belongs,
Is for all God’s children, dreadfully wrong.
God’s Word absolutely, forbids man’s greed,
If we are wise, to our Master we’ll heed.

When we disobey, we sin against God,
It’s a path of rebellion, that we trod.
There’s not any other, to whom you can turn,
Angering the Lord, will make His wrath burn.

O’ blind and deaf sinner, you must awake,
Or you will wind up, in Hell’s fiery lake.
Commit your life, to Christ Jesus today,
For you can’t reach Heav’n’s gate, no other way!

Adultery is a sin.

Matthew 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (KJV) Jesus’ Words. If you even look at a person with lust in your heart, you are guilty of adultery.

Murder is a sin.

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (KJV) (See: Mat.5:21-22). Hate is a nasty thing! It festers within you causing bitterness and hostility which if left unchecked, is like an evil cancer within and will eventually destroy you.

Lying is a sin.

Rev. 21:7-8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (KJV) Lying to people disrupts unity by creating conflicts and destroying trust. It rips apart relationships. Lies are also associated with: evil speaking, false accusations, blasphemy, busybodies, falsehoods of any kind, flattery, slander, talebearers and gossip which is forbidden (Lev.19:16; Psalm 50:20; Pro. 11:13; 20:19; Eze. 22:9. A “liar” will not see Heaven unless they repent and confess their sin (1 John 1:9).

Stealing is a sin.

Mark 7:22-23 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: [23] All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (KJV) Stealing is more than just taking something from someone. Finding something and not returning it is stealing. Not returning something borrowed is a sin. Starting work late and quitting early is sin. Stealing is a sin against God, not just your neighbor, a stranger, or a business. If you have gotten something deceitfully, confess your sin to God, apologize to the owner, and return the stolen items, with interest.

Coveting is a sin.

Ephes.5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (KJV) All evil things come from within, and defile you. ALL evil actions begin with a single thought.

Disobedience to God is a sin.

Ephes.5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (KJV) Disobeying God is absolute stupidity!

Spiritual blindness and spiritual deafness lead to Hell.

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (KJV) The world is full of “blind and deaf sinners” on a slippery downhill slope racing for Hell. Have you heard the Good News about Jesus? Do you see Him? Do you know Him? Are you ready for Judgment Day?

Words of Wisdom
A wise New Year’s resolution for anyone is to get yourself ready to meet the Lord.

I Love Jesus

I love Jesus, for what He’s done for me,
Keeping me from, eternal agony.
I love Jesus, for He died in my stead,
Paid my penalty, now I have no dread.

I love Jesus, because He first loved me,
Only He, could set my burd’ned soul free.
I love Jesus, for He does justify,
So I won’t ever, eternally die.

I love Jesus, for He keeps me on the path,
That keeps me from, God’s Holy, righteous wrath.
I love Jesus, and follow in His Light,
For He’s always there, in my ev’ry plight.

I love Jesus, He gives me joy and peace,
And of strife and worry, He gives me release.
I love Jesus, He won’t forsake or leave,
With His Presence near, I need never grieve.

I love Jesus, He bought me with His Blood,
Washed me white as snow, with that precious Flood.
I love Jesus, for He really loves me,
I look forward, to life eternally.

I love Jesus, for He prepares a place,
‘Twill be ready, when I finish my race.
An inheritance, pure and undefil’d,
I love Jesus, for He makes me God’s child.

I love Jesus, for His Spirit abides,
Assisting me daily, as He resides.
I love Jesus, and I appreciate,
My precious Saviour, majestic and great.

Thank You Jesus!

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (KJV) Only the Blood of Jesus can wash away our sins! (1 Peter 1:18-19)

John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (KJV) Only Jesus has the power to make us God’s children!

John 3:15-18 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (KJV) The only Sacrifice that God the Father will accept is Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross! IF we believe this, we have eternal life in Heaven; IF we refuse to believe this, eternity in Hell awaits.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (KJV) People are under the bondage of sin; they are captives to Satan. Only Christ can set your burdened soul free! Any person who practices any sin, is, in fact, a slave to that sin. Only Christ has power free us from sin. People argue about liberty of every kind, while the whole time they are slaves to some sinful lust. Heb.10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (KJV)

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (KJV) He died on the cross for us! He paid a debt (our debt) we could never pay!

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (KJV) When we believe in faith, God forgives ALL our sins!

Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (KJV) Only Jesus can make us God’s friends! Only Jesus can keep us from eternal punishment in Hell. Only Jesus can save us!

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (KJV) When you are born again, you receive the Holy Spirit to help you live as God wants you to live. (Romans 8:14-17)

John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. [2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (KJV) The way to eternal life is unseen but is secured by your faith. He has prepared the way to eternal life.

1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (KJV) If you are a TRUE child of God by faith in Jesus, your "mansion" has your name on it!

I love Jesus for so many reasons!

March 2009 Monthly Message

Mark 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. [31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (KJV)

Love

If we love the Lord, with all our heart,
We’ll not e’er, from His goodness depart.
If we love the Lord, with all our soul,
We’ll give to Him daily, full control.

If we love the Lord, with all our mind,
Eternal life in Heav’n, we shall find.
If with all our strength, we love the Lord,
We’ll be empow’red daily, by His Word.

Loving neighbor as self, we must do,
Or our love to the Lord, is not true.
The Golden Rule, we should always follow,
Love in our heart, keeps away sorrow.

Jesus gives to us, just two commands,
Love God, love others; this He demands.
All this boils down, to one four letter word,
LOVE - - - is our command, from our Lord.

“Golden Rule”
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (KJV)
We are to love the Lord - - - the TRUE God - - - with our all!
We should NEVER bow to any of the world’s “gods.”

Deut. 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (KJV) Monotheism is the belief in only one God. It was a unique feature of Hebrew religion. Many ancient religions believed in many gods. But the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God of the whole Earth, and He is the only true God. Both then and today, the world is filled with people who believe in many gods. Both then and today, there are people who prefer to place their trust in many different “gods.” But the Day is coming when God will finally be recognized as the only God. He will be the King over the whole Earth (Zech. 14:9). No more blasphemy, no more idolatry!

Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. (KJV)

Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (KJV) One day - - - at the Name of Jesus, EVERY knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. (Phil.2:10) NO more false gods! A Promise! A fact!

We are to love our neighbor as ourselves . . . meaning that we will NEVER do harm to anyone.

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (KJV) What is self-love? No adultery, no murder - - - which includes hatred (1 John 3:15), no lies, no gossip, no slander, etc., no wanting what someone else has. Do no harm to anyone because you don’t want any harm to come to you.

Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (KJV) When you are not motivated by love, you become critical of others. You cannot see any good in them for all you see is their faults. You should instead, in love, focus on others’ good points and strengths instead of their shortcomings.

1 Thes. 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. (KJV) Do not pay back evil for evil; always try to do good to everyone.

Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (KJV) Do not try to “get even” with someone when they do you wrong. Malice is a sin. When someone does something hateful to you, do something nice for them. It will ‘blow their mind.’ Do to them what you would want them to do to you.

1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. (KJV) Don't retaliate when people say or do unkind things to you. Pay them back with a blessing. That is what God wants you to do, and he will bless you for it.

Words of Wisdom
The birthmarks of God’s children are love, obedience, and truth.
In a heart full of love, there’s no room for hate or envy.
If we do not hate evil, we cannot love God.

HE KNEW

He knew one of the twelve, would betray,
And He also knew, the exact way.
As He sat at the Passover meal,
Judas’ betrayal, He did reveal.

He knew Simon Peter would deny,
Though Peter’s words were: “Lord, never I.”
Three times from Christ, Peter turned away,
‘Fore the cock crow’d, at the break of day.

He knew that His own, would forsake Him,
“Release Barabbas,” their shouts were grim,
He knew He’d hear them scream: “Crucify,”
As He started to the cross, to die.

He knew they’d mock Him, with a crown of thorns,
He knew a scarlet robe, He’d adorn.
He knew they’d spit on Him, and smite His Head,
Not one to comfort Him, His great dread.

He knew the Cyrene, His cross would bear,
As the crowd around, did gloat and stare.
He knew with Him, two thieves would die,
On Calvr’y’s hill; they’d be crucified.

He knew one of the thieves, would repent,
Christ’s words of comfort, made the thief content.
He knew all things, that would happ’n that day,
Yet e’er so willingly, He did stay.

He died on that cross, to set us free,
Giving to us, life eternally.
He gives us vic’try, when we go His way.
A loving Saviour, He did portray.

Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him

Matthew 26:14-15 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, [15] And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. (KJV) Jesus knew that Peter would deny Him

Matthew 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (KJV)

Matthew 26:74-75 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. [75] And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. (KJV)

Jesus knew that the Jews would forsake Him

John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (KJV)

Matthew 27:21-23 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. [22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. [23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. (KJV)

Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. (KJV)

Luke 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. (KJV)

Jesus knew that He would be mocked

Matthew 27:28-31 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. [29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! [30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. [31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. (KJV) Jesus knew that the Cyrene would carry His cross.

Matthew 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. (KJV)

Jesus knew that two thieves would die with Him

Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. (KJV) Also see: Luke 23:39-43. Just Jesus can give us eternal life!

John 3:15-16 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

Words of Wisdom
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (KJV)

ONE THING

There is one thing that I truly desire,
When from this life, that I do retire.
That I may, in the house of the Lord be,
And see His beauty, for eternity.

There is one thing, that happens to all,
Be it man or beast, death shall befall.
As we live on Earth, we must look ahead,
We face Heav’n’s bliss, or Hell’s awful dread.

Millions will lack, one specific thing,
Failure to make Christ, Master and King!
Many will be grieved, as they go their way,
For they choose worldly riches, each day.

There is one thing that all people need,
To sit at Christ’s Feet, and His teachings heed.
We must not ever, too busy be,
To draw close to the King, of eternity.

One special thing, all believers know,
Christ Jesus is our Friend, not our foe.
Once we were so blind, but now we see,
Once Satan bound us, now we are free.

One certain thing, to which we must mind,
Forget all the sins, that are behind.
There is not one thing, that we can change,
Run the race before us, that God does arrange.

There is one absolute fact, my friend,
God is in charge, from now to the end.
His time clock and ours, is not the same,
Just always be ready, and praise His Name.

Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. (KJV) Jesus’ purpose in telling about His return is to warn us to be prepared. Will you be ready? The only safe choice is to obey Him today.

John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (KJV) So, just WHAT does Jesus command us? The Bible tells us!

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (KJV) The “Golden Rule.” We must NOT think only of me, me, me! We must FIRST . . . love God, second . . . love others! Our command from Jesus . . . LOVE! God’s kind of love! The meaning of love: 3 C’s . . . care, concern and compassion.

Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. (KJV) Our greatest desire should be to live in God’s Presence here on Earth and for eternity. Sadly, this is not the so with many who claim to be believers. Only those who today desire to live in God’s Presence will be able to enjoy that relationship forever.

Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (KJV) Lust for things of the world is common, but it is fatal to your soul. There is no other sin that Satan can have a more sure or speedy hold upon the soul.

Luke 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. (KJV) Covetousness is a sin. We need to be warned against it because the devil NEVER lets up on us. Eternal happiness does NOT depend on the wealth of this world. Things of the world can NEVER satisfy the desires of a soul. We have a huge God-shaped empty space within us that can be filled only with God! It is stupidity, to pursue only that which is temporary, and never consider the eternal soul.

1 Cor. 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (KJV) The Christian life takes hard work, self-denial, and preparing. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward.

The Vast Realm of Eternity

Consider the life that is to be,
In the vast realm of eternity.
Do you think, of what the future holds?
Will you e’er walk, on that street of gold?

The river - - - clear and pure, did you know?
The water of life, from God’s Throne flows.
In the midst of the street, on each side,
Is the tree of life, that God provides.

No more curse, shall e’er again be found,
Just blessings from the Lord, will abound.
We shall at last see, His precious Face,
And first hand feel, His amazing grace.

There shall never be, any more night,
Just the brilliance, of our Saviour’s Light.
No sun or moon, will this City need,
Glory from God and the Lamb, shall proceed.

No more death, sorrow, crying or pain,
From all these things, we shall abstain.
Nothing that defiles, shall enter in,
Gone will be wickedness and sin.

Consider now, the other life to be,
In the vast realm of eternity.
Most will go in, thru’ Hell’s one lone gate,
The Lake of Fire, is the sinner’s fate.

No exit doors, just smoke and darkness,
Here, God’s Glory is gone; He won’t bless.
God’s wondrous Presence, you won’t e’er see,
You’ll be bann’d for e’er, from His mercy.

Agonizing screams, will never cease,
Christ is not there, so you’ll have no peace.
All the wonder of Heav’n, you’ll never see,
Just non-stop suff’ring, eternally.

Only two roads, to eternity,
One leads to bliss, the other - - - agony.
Your future in your own hands, you hold,
Eternal suff’ring - - - or the street of gold.

Rev. 21 & 22; 20:11-15, 2 Thes.1:8-9; Mat.7:13-14; John 14:27;
Mat.5:22; 5:29-30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15; Mat. 23:33; Mark 9:43; 9:45; 9:47; Luke 12:5; Jam. 3:6

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (KJV) Only TWO roads lead to eternity. One leads to Heaven, the other leads to Hell. YES! There is a Hell! Believe God. Do NOT believe false teachers and cults that bring you damnable heresies (2 Pet.2:1).

John 3:15-18 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (KJV) Every one who believes on Jesus has life eternal, NOW (John 5:24). Our God loved us so much that He gave His only-begotten Son as a Sacrifice to save us. Everyone who believes on Jesus has eternal life. For God sent His Son into the world that those who believe may be saved through Him. A serious statement! Anyone that believes on Jesus is NOT condemned to Hell . . . BUT anyone who refuses to believe God (1 John 5:10-12) has been already condemned to Hell, because he has not believed on the Name of the only-begotten Son of God.

John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (KJV) IF you believe God, eternal life is yours! A dwelling place has been reserved for you (1 Pet.1:4).

2 Thes. 1:8-9 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (KJV) The “everlasting destruction” that Paul describes is the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14), it is Hell! It is the place of eternal separation from God. Anyone separated from God in eternity no longer has any hope for Heaven.

One day I’ll look down at my feet,
and they will be standing on gold!
When Heav’n’s door is open’d to me,
Such great wonders, I’ll behold!

One day as I survey Heav’n’s bliss,
and gaze at my “mansion” there,
I’ll be grateful to my Saviour,
for His eternal love and care!

One day, in but a multitude,
as I wander ‘bout Heav’n’s domain,
Ten thousand years, and a million more,
For eternity, I’ll remain!

One day I’ll sit at Jesus’ Feet,
and behold His awesome glory,
And as I walk, in His vast Light,
I’ll praise His Name, eternally!

One day I’ll talk, to godly men:
Noah, Elijah, Daniel too,
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego,
These are just some of God’s faithful “few.”

Not just one day, but fore’er more,
I’ll serve my Master, ev’ry day!
So gratefully and willingly,
In the splendor of, Heav’n’s display!

One day I’ll be in my Home on high,
To live with Christ, eternally!
Privileged! I am one of the “few,”
My faith and belief gave vic’try!

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV) Jesus tells us that the way to eternal life, though unseen, is secure. It is as secure as your trust in Jesus. The question is: How secure is your trust, your faith in Jesus? He has already prepared the way to eternal life through His Sacrifice on the cross. The only thing that may not be secure is your willingness to believe God. There are few verses in the Bible that really describe eternal life, but the above is rich with promise. Jesus tells us: “I am going to Heaven, where the Father lives, to prepare a place for you,” and “I will come back.” We can look forward to eternal life because Jesus has promised it to all who believe in Him. The details of eternity are unknown, but we don’t need to fear because Jesus is preparing for us and will spend eternity with us. WOW!!!

Rev. 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. (KJV) New Jerusalem (Heaven) will be beauty beyond words! Gold will be transparent, see through, as no gold here on Earth is! The absolute perfections in Heaven will be amazing, so wondrous. They shall be completely opposite to the filth, evil and violence in this present world.

Rev. 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. (KJV) No more need to lock anything ever again! These gates will always be open! The street will be the purest gold, beyond our wildest imagination. Gold here on Earth would never be used to pave a street. But in Heaven, that is exactly what God uses. That is what we shall walk on one day. If you are God’s child, you shall walk on gold!

1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (KJV) We can base our confidence on what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. We’re called into a lively hope of eternal life (1 Pet.1:3). Our hope is not only for the future; eternal life begins when we trust Christ and join God’s family (John 1:12-13; 3:3-8; 5:24). No matter what pain or trial we may face in this life, we know something much better remains. One day we will live with Jesus forever.

Heb.11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. (KJV) All those souls who have died “in Christ” shall go to a better country.

Words of Wisdom

This Earth is NOT our permanent home. ONE DAY. . . we shall go HOME! ONE DAY we shall live in the eternal Presence of Almighty God, our Saviour, Jesus Christ! PRAISE HIM!!!

For our eternal Father, truly cares.

Our mansion in Heav’n, shall need no repair,
Thru’ all eternity, ‘twill show no wear.

‘Twill always be bright; never look forlorn.

Never any dimness in Heaven’s Lights,
The unfailing Power shall always be bright.
The City’s walls shall never shift or fall,

No repairs needed, for they’ll never drag.

Thy awesomeness, I gratefully reverence.

Some of the poems that the Lord gives me are absolutely unique, like this one. I remember when the words of this one came. I was early for a class, as usual, and these words came out of “nowhere.”

I would have run out of subjects long ago, but the poems keep coming! There have been hundreds that came after this one, but for some reason, this older one came to mind as I was writing Messages this morning. Consider the words as you read it.

Philip. 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (KJV) . . . If God supplies all our needs here on Earth, He certainly will not stop doing so when we reach Heaven!

Rev. 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (KJV) . . . Our Father will take care of us for eternity!

Rev. 21:21-b . . . . and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. (KJV) This street will not wear out or need repaired like streets in this world!
Rev. 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (KJV) . . . Heaven will have no need of the sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is its light.

Rev. 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (KJV) . . . Not everyone will be allowed into Heaven, “only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Eternal life is available to you only because of what Jesus, the Lamb, has done for you. Trust Jesus today to secure your citizenship in Heaven.

Rev. 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (KJV) . . . There will be nothing evil or wicked in any way (Rev.21:8; 22:14-15) that will ever enter Heaven. Only those people whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Rev.2:15). There will be no unbelievers in Heaven. Anyone who refuses to believe God (1 John 5:10-12) and rejects His only begotten Son will go to Hell, the Lake of Fire (John 3:18,36; 8:24; 2 Thes.1:8-9).

HOW TO BE SAVED

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (KJV) If you are not “born again” you cannot enter Heaven! You won’t even be able to see it!

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (KJV) Do NOT believe any “religion” that tell you that you must perform any rituals or any kind of work to be saved. That is NOT what the Bible says! Believe GOD!!! The only “work” you must do is to BELIEVE on JESUS, whom God the Father has sent.

1 John 5:10-12 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (KJV) Don’t call God a liar!

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (KJV) Words of Wisdom my friend!

TOO MUCH TO COMPREHEND

Lord, You are too much for me to comprehend,
How can You call a sinner like me, “friend”?
My horrible sins, You remembered no more,
When I repented, and opened my heart’s door.

I can’t comprehend, how I can be Your child,
You are so magnificent, and undefiled.
Yet I can come to You, be it day or night,
No matter my dilemma, or my plight.

You could snuff out my life, with Your awesome pow’r,
For You know where I am, each and ev’ry hour.
I just can’t comprehend, how You could love me,
Yet You’ve given to me, life eternally.

You know my thoughts, before they come to my mind,
And Your thoughts for me, are warm, loving and kind.
Most gracious Lord, You are hard to understand,
For when I stumble, You reach out for my hand.

You know my words, ‘fore I think of what to say,
And Your Presence is with me, all night and day,
You’re just too marvelous, to e’er comprehend,
I am ever so grateful, that You call me friend.

Before You made the world, You loved and chose me,
I’m accepted in Christ, for eternity.
A wondrous mansion awaits me, way up there,
For my Creator God, does love me and care.

I love You dear Lord, because You first loved me,
You changed me Lord, gave me new identity.
I could never ever, comprehend You Lord,
You love passes all knowledge, as told in Your Word.

John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (KJV) Do we obey our Lord? Our command is LOVE (Mat.22:36-40).

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (KJV) We must admit we are sinners and confess when we do wrong . . . and He forgives us when we are truly sorry!

Heb.10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (KJV) When God forgives, He forgives! He remembers that sin no more! We need to forgive like God does!

Rom. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (KJV) NO one can love us more than God loves us!

Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. (KJV) I simply cannot comprehend this marvelous mystery!

Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: (KJV) God knows the end, before a thing starts!

Eze.11:5-d . . . . for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. (KJV) He knows what we are thinking! WE cannot hide anything from God.

Eph. 1:4-5 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: [5] Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (KJV) No way can I figure this one out! He chose us BEFORE He created the world!

Eph. 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (KJV) “The fullness of God” is revealed only in Christ. It is only in union with Christ and His empowering Spirit, that we can ever be complete.

John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (KJV) JESUS is coming back to get us my friends! And He will take us to this eternal dwelling place, His Home, that where He is, we can be also!

1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (KJV) If Jesus has made you a child of God, your inheritance awaits! Your mansion has your name on it! NO one can ever take it away from you. Knowing this gives me great peace.

1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. (KJV) There is so much that I simply cannot comprehend about God and eternity. But, I do know that God loves you and me. I may not be able to fully understand everything, but I believe God and I know that my place has been reserved in Heaven for me! I do pray that you have one reserved for you too.

Thank You Jesus!

OCEAN OF LOVE

God’s ocean of love, is all around,
So deep and so wide, it does confound.
Thru’ this ocean, each one of us sail,
When we trust by faith, He does avail.

Humbly we sail, as we live each day,
His great love is around us always.
Tho’ storms of life, make waves high and wide,
We’ll come out fine, on the other side.

We can sail on His ocean, peacefully,
We will not sink, He gives victory.
As we journey onward in this life,
His ocean of love, keeps us from strife.

Onward we sail, thru’ the rocky shoals,
His will in our life, should be our goal.
His brilliant Light, as a beacon shines,
I claim God’s ocean of love as mine.

Humbly we sail in God’s ocean of love,
His gracious concern comes from Heav’n above.
He watches us closely, as we sail,
Watching the good things, too when we fail.

Only my Saviour can safely guide,
Great pow’r and wisdom He does provide.
Grace and mercy from our Lord does flow,
As thru’ God’s ocean of love, we go.

Let’s not fail Him, as thru’ life we proceed,
To His soft gentle voice, we must pay heed.
Thru’ God’s ocean of love, let’s keep on,
Upheld by the Hand, of God’s own Son.

Below are some verses stating God’s awesome love for us.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV) God gave us the Best that He had!

Rom.5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (KJV) . . . The hope we have in Christ should never make us ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has so graciously been given to us.

Rom.5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (KJV) . . . God exhibited His love to us in a great way: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Eph.2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (KJV) . . . God is love!

Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (KJV) . . . We move from a life full of sin, that leads only to Hell, to a life led by God’s Holy Spirit, leading to Heaven! ALL our sins, not just some, are cleansed by the Blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:18-19). We gain eternal life, and ALL its treasures, and the Holy Spirit then abides with us for ever (John 14:16), not because we earn or deserve it; it is all God’s Gift of love to us (Rom.6:23; Eph.2:8-9).

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (KJV) . . . How gracious God is to us! How precious He is to us. God has given us not just some mere gift, but love itself. This God, Creator and Master of the Universe, allows us to call Him Father! How privileged we are to be His children.

1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (KJV) . . . LOVE explains so much about God. What tremendous proof of God's love for us! He sent His only-begotten Son, that we might live eternally through Him, and with Him!

1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (KJV) . . . LOVE in its highest perfection, is that love was all on God's side, none on ours. The Father performed this awesome act of love to us, when He sent His Son. And Jesus, loved us so much, in that He willingly came!

Words of Wisdom

God's awesome love is like a great ocean . . . wide and deep! It never drains out, never goes away! God is SO Good! God loves us SO much!

According to Webster’s dictionary, the definition of Thanksgiving Day is: a day appointed for giving thanks for divine goodness. Divine goodness is far reaching, going far beyond material blessings, So often, people have a tendency to only think of material things.

I found it very interesting to search the Scriptures for the word “thanksgiving.” Allow me to share just a few with you.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (KJV) . . . Emphasis mine.

Psalm 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. (KJV) . . . Emphasis mine.

Philip. 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (KJV) . . . Emphasis mine.

Rev. 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (KJV) . . . Emphasis mine.

We need to be thankful everyday, not only for what He has done, but for Who He is! He is King of kings, the Lord of lords, and our soon coming King!
Come Lord Jesus!

The above comments were in Pastor Wes Kuntz's 2008 November Newsletter. Thank you Brother Wes!

Some more thoughts on Thankfulness:

· Should be offered to God in everything. 1 Thes. 5:18
· Should be offered to God before eating. John 6:11; Acts 27:35
· Should be offered to God always. Ephes. 1:16; Ephes. 5:20; 1 Thes. 1:2
· Should be offered for the goodness and mercy of God. Psalm 106:1; 107:1; 136:1-3
· Should be offered to God for the Gift of Christ. 2 Cor. 9:15
· Should be offered for nearness of God’s Presence. Psalm 75:1; John 15:1-5; Heb.13:5
· Should be offered to God for the supply of our daily needs. Phil.4:19
· Should be offered to God for all things. 2 Cor. 9:11; Ephes. 5:20; Phil.4:13
· Should be accompanied by intercession for others. 1 Tim. 2:1; 2 Tim. 1:3; Philemon 1:4
· Should magnify God by. Psalm 69:30
· Should come before God with. Psalm 95:2
· Should offer to God sacrifices of. Psalm 116:17

Last but certainly not least, we should THANK GOD for our salvation. Eph. 2:5, 8; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 2:11; 3:5; Rom.5:8-9; 1 John 4:9-10; John 3:15-18; 5:24; 1 Thes. 1:10; Gal.1:4

By: His servant, Connie Kramer Dec. 26, 2000 Prayer # 1

Do any of us really appreciate God the Father as we should? Do we ever really consider just how much He loves us? He gave us the Best that He had! His only begotten Son!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

Do any of us really consider just how much God the Father loves us? It’s very doubtful!
And it is even more doubtful that any of us ever thank Him as we should for His great love, and for all the other blessings that He bestows upon us daily, because of that love.

Do any of us really appreciate Jesus as we should? Have you ever considered that He did not have to come? He left the safety and security of Heaven, to come to Earth, to die for us. He is eternal God (John 1:1-2), so He knew exactly what was ahead (Isa.42:9; 46:9-10). Do any of us really appreciate what He ahs done for us? Do we thank Him as we should? Again . . . it is very doubtful.

Do we really appreciate that the Holy Spirit abides with us “for ever” (John 14:16)? Have you considered just how much the Holy Spirit helps us? Do we allow Him to work in our lives? Or do we “quench” His work in us (1 Thes.5:19)? Do any of us really appreciate the fact that we as God’s children have some awesome privileges? Are we thankful enough? Very doubtful!

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (KJV) . . . Do you willingly and joyfully come into God’s Presence, or do you just go through the motions? We should remember God’s goodness and constancy always, and worship Him with thanksgiving and praise!

Psalm 107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. (KJV) . . . Is the sacrifice of praise, really too much to ask of us?

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. (KJV) God never asks too much of anyone! A “sacrifice of praise” includes thanking Christ Jesus for His Sacrifice on the cross, and telling others about it. So often, we neglect this command by our Lord (Mat.28:19)!

Thankfulness is an action and an attitude (a way of thinking). Take time to thank God for the good things in your life. And instead of being greedy and grumpy, be grateful and happy for what you do have . . . and THANK GOD for it.
