Gambling With Your Soul

People gamble with their soul, every day,
They do their own thing, and go their own way.
They bristle up, if you mention the Lord,
And they don’t want to hear, God’s Holy Word!

You must not ever gamble, with your soul,
For when Judgment day comes, God’s in control!
When this life’s o’er, and it’s Heaven you desire,
To not obey God, brings you the Lake of Fire.

When gambling with your soul, the devil grins,
For the broad road you’re on, Hell’s gate you’ll win.
Gambling with your soul, is a tragedy,
You do NOT want, eternal agony!

Evil Satan will do, his utmost best,
Urging you to gamble, he gives no rest.
But gambling your soul, is a huge mistake,
You could find yourself, in Hell’s fiery lake!

Gambling with your soul, is when you won’t believe,
Rejection of Christ, nor His Work receive.
‘Tis turning your back, on God’s Holy Word,
And despising God’s Son. Jesus, our Lord!

Are you gambling, with your soul this v’ry day?
May I suggest, you go another way.
That broad road leads, where you want NOT to go,
Heaven should be your goal, NOT Hell below!

JESUS, the GREATEST BLESSING

Christ Jesus, is the world’s Greatest Blessing,
We need to place Him, above everything!
Above and beyond all, Jesus must be,
If you want to be handed, Heav’n’s key!

Christ is the One, we should look to for aid,
With His Promise, we need not be afraid!
I will never leave you, never forsake,
Our truthful Jesus, this Promise does make!

My grace is sufficient, a Promise too,
Claim this Promise and see, it will work for you!
No matter your problem, trouble of pain,
His grace is sufficient, and always gain!

Forgiveness of sin, we really desire,
Just Jesus can pull us, from that muck and mire!
He’ll cast sin, to the bottom of the sea,
Where they will remain, for eternity!

If you obey Him, Christ Jesus is near,
His Presence will chase away, all your fear!
Christ Jesus is your Friend, if you obey,
He’s ever so close, be it night or day!

The Gift of Christ’s Spirit, the Lord does give,
To help us each day, as this life we live!
The fruits of the Spirit, help us always,
For His Spirit is with us, all our days!

Jesus, my Greatest Blessing, forever,
No one from me, His grand love can sever!
Face to face, one day my Lord I will see,
And with my Lord, I will spend eternity!

THANK YOU JESUS!

(KJV)

The Love of Christ

The love of Christ refers to the love that Jesus has toward mankind. His love for us was His willingness to act on our behalf, especially in meeting our greatest need (the salvation of our eternal soul), even though it cost Him suffering untold, and even though we were NOT the least bit worthy of such love.

Even though Christ Jesus, being God in nature, existed from the beginning of time with God the Father and the Holy Spirit (Jn.1:1), He willingly left His throne in Heaven (Jn.1:14) to become a Man, that He might pay the penalty for our sin so that we would not have to pay for it for all eternity in the lake of fire (Rev.20:15). Because our sin has been paid for by our sinless Saviour, Jesus Christ, God, the Father who is just and holy can now forgive our sins when we accept His only begotten Son Jesus’ payment as our own (Rom.3:21-28; 5:1-10).

The love of Christ is shown by His leaving His home in Heaven, where He was worshipped and honored as He deserved, to come to Earth as a Man where He would be betrayed, beaten, mocked, spit upon and crucified on a cruel Roman cross to pay the penalty for our sin. He considered our need for a Saviour from our sin and its penalty as much more important than His own comfort and life (Phil.2:3-8).

The love of Christ which He demonstrated toward us on the cross is just the beginning. When we place our trust in Him as our Saviour, He makes us God’s children (Jn.1:12-13), and joint-heirs with Him (Rom.8:17). He comes to dwell within us through His Holy Spirit, promising that He will never leave us or forsake us (Jn.14:16-18, 26; 15:26; 6:13; Heb.13:5), and that His grace is always sufficient (2 Cor.12:9). Do you see that we have a Loving Companion for this life, and the life to come? No matter what we go through, He is there, and His love is always available to us (Rom.8:35-29). All we need do is ask!

The love of Christ should penetrate deep into our hearts. His love was and is so great that no words in any language can express the wonder of what He has done for us. Do you really understand just what He did for you? I don’t think any of us can fully grasp the importance of His love for us. I don’t know about you, but I simply CANNOT comprehend this kind of love!

Words of Wisdom
In Christ, God’s love was shown, and His law satisfied.
True love always helps those who have nothing to give in return. To keep from denying Christ, you must rely on Christ. Life’s darkest path can never dim the light of God’s love. If we do not hate evil, we cannot love God.

Doom's Day For Unbelievers

For those who don't believe God, Doom's Day is near,
The sorrow of today's times, God is NOT feared!
Hypocrites, please know, that Judgment Day looms,
Not believing God, brings the harshest doom!

WHY do people clutch, damnable heresies?
That will only lead them, to Hell's agony?
All souls are eternal, WHY don't you believe?
WHY go to the Lake of Fire, and for e'er grieve?

"A license to sin" is false, thru' and thru',
Christ gives NO permit to sin, to me OR you!
Biblical repentance, is what God desires,
And that's what will keep you, from the Lake of Fire!

Salvation is a FREE GIFT, from God's grace,
NO work we do will e'er, let us see Christ's Face!
Christ has pow'r, to put us in God's family,
And THAT friend, gives us, life eternally!

You either believe God's Word, or you don't,
And old Satan blinds eyes, so that you won't!
God tells us, eternal life will always be,
Sin will NOT take it away, from you or me!

Christ paid our sin debt, in full He did pay!
So we can have, eternal life some day!
Yes! We still sin! But we can make it right!
Confess it to God, and be pleasing in His sight!

Confessing sin means, God is right and we are wrong!
Agreeing with God, takes us from Satan's throng!
Eternal life means, just what it tells,
Trusting Christ, exempts you from Hell!

2 Pet.2:1; 2 Cor.11:4, 13-15; Mat.15:9; 25:41,46; Jn.14:2-3; 1 Pet.1:4; Rev.20:10-15; Tit.1:2; Jn.14:23; 5:24; 6:28-29, 6:32-33, 37-40, 47; 10:27-30; Ps.73:24; Eph.1:8-9; Jn.1:12-13; 3:15-16,36; 5:24; 6:37; 1 Jn.1:8-9

The Bible tells us that Christ Jesus will judge every person who has ever lived (Acts 10:42). All those who refuse God’s One and Only Offer of salvation (Jesus), will face the great white throne judgment (Rev.20:11-15) . . . which will be the unbelievers’ last stop before an eternity of exile from God’s Presence (2 Thes.1:8-9).

The Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15) does NOT determine salvation. Everyone at the Great White Throne is an unbeliever who has rejected Christ in life and is therefore already doomed to the lake of fire. Rev. 20:12 says that unbelievers will be “judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Those who have rejected Christ as Saviour and Lord will be judged based on their works alone, and because the Bible tells us that “by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified” (Gal.2:16), they will be condemned. NO amount of good works, NO amount of keeping God’s laws can be sufficient to atone for sin. All the thoughts, words and deeds of the wicked will be judged against God’s perfect standard and shall fall far short. There will be absolutely NO reward for any of them, only eternal condemnation and agonizing punishment in the Lake of fire.

All believers will also stand before Judge Jesus, that being at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10; 1 Cor.3:10-15), at which time they will finally come to full comprehension of His amazing grace.

1 Cor. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. (KJV) . . . Paul states that Jesus will reveal the motives hidden in believers’ hearts. Some people think that all their sins will be displayed for everyone to see, but the Bible does not support that idea.

Jesus will reveal the true nature of a believer’s heart to him or her. Every rebellious act, wrong attitude, and cutting word will be reviewed. When the Bible says that Jesus will wipe the tears from our eyes, it is referring to this time (Isa.25:8; Rev.7:17; 21:4). We will be standing in our precious Saviour’s Presence, grieving over how undeserving we are of His tremendous Sacrifice. But the sorrow will last only a moment (Ps.30:5), for then comes the remarkable joy of having received forgiveness and lived a life pleasing to Him by faith. Christ’s judgment to believers is not a punishment; it is a reminder that we have been pardoned. At that time, we will fully realize the depth and breadth of His amazing grace. We will stand before the Lord, clothed in Christ’s righteousness and forgiven of every single sin. We will then know just how great the love of God is for us.

Words of Wisdom
An attitude of gratitude can make your life a beatitude.
God the righteous Judge declared us guilty, then paid our penalty.When the going gets too easy, you may be going downhill.

April 2018 Mesasage

THE CROWN AND CROSS WERE HIS

They borrowed a manger, to use as a bed,
For the precious Babe Jesus, to lay His Head!
They borrowed a colt, for Christ Jesus to ride,
A colt on which no one, had e’er been astride!

Christ borrowed bread, high on the mountain side,
That the crowd’s hunger, might be satisfied!
He borrowed two little fish, from a young lad,
In all the people there, ‘twas all to be had.

Jesus borrowed a boat, in which He sat and taught,
For the great multitude, His vast wisdom sought!
He borrowed a friend’s house, that He might rest,
They lovingly obliged, to this most special Guest!

They borrowed a room, the Last Supper to eat,
An Upper Room, that was high up off the street.
From a very rich man, they borrowed a grave,
Jesus’ sepulcher was a small, lonely cave.

The crown of thorns they crushed, on His precious Head,
Was not a borrowed crown, but His own instead!
The crown of thorns He wore, was His very own,
That dreadful, horrendous crown; was His alone.

The cross that He carried, so very painfully,
Is the cross where He died, in great agony.
That old rugged cross He bore, was His very own,
The cross where He bled and died, was His alone.
********************************
By: His servant, Connie Kramer Feb.6, 2000 # 635

This is my husband’s second favorite poem; his first being “I See Jesus Everywhere.” All people can relate or identify with Jesus, including the poorest of the poor. Our Lord was indeed poor when He walked the Earth as Man. He didn’t even have a place to lay His precious Head (Mat.8:20). His first cradle was that of lowest esteem; a borrowed manger (Luke 2:7). When He made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, He rode a borrowed colt (Luke 19:30). Christ also borrowed two little fishes from a boy to feed the hungry crowd following Him (Mat.14:19). Jesus borrowed a boat (ship) in which He sat and taught the crowd of people (Mat.13:2). When He was tired and hungry, He often borrowed His friends’ home (John 12:1-2). He borrowed an upper room in which He and His apostles ate the Last Supper (Luke 22:12). Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb (Mat.27:57-60).
But, the crown of thorns was not borrowed! That was His very own (Mat.27:29). And the cross where He suffered and bled and died . . . for you and me . . . was not borrowed either! That cross too was His very own (John19:17)! We truly must recognize just what our Lord and Saviour has done for us! He loves us more than we can ever know! John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (KJV) AMAZING LOVE!!!
Can you possibly imagine the agony and utter loneliness of our Precious Saviour when He was condemned by His own people (John 1:11)? He was then literally tortured by the Romans (Ps.22:1, 7-8; 41:9; 69:21; Isa.50:6; 52:14). Psalm 22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. (KJV) . . . Before the actual crucifixion, the Romans would beat the ‘criminal’ with a cat of nine tails. They had beaten Jesus so terribly that they exposed His Bones. I do not think that any one of us realize what Jesus went through for us! Everything that the Gospel writers say about the state of mind in which our Lord entered into this conflict, proves the enormous nature of the assault upon Him, because the perfect foreknowledge of all its terrors were possessed by the meek and lowly Jesus. He feared what would come, for He was Man and He did feel pain as we do, but He went to the cross so we could live. Have you truly considered just what Jesus suffered for you? Have you thanked Him?

Words of Wisdom
God the righteous Judge declared us “guilty” and then paid OUR penalty!
He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe,
Because we had a debt we couldn’t pay.
The Good News is NOT that Christ lived and died, but that He died and lives!
Jesus was born to die, so that we could be born to live!
Christ was lifted up on that cross, that we might be lifted out of our sin.
Jesus took my place on the cross, to give me a place in Heaven.
Christ’s empty tomb should fill us full of hope.
To believe in Heaven and not Hell, is like saying all is good and there is no evil.
We will not be defeated by anything, if we depend on Christ for everything.
Faith is the ability to see God in the dark.
There are no dark days when you live in the Light of Jesus.
Millions of people have tons of religion; but not one ounce of salvation!
To those who are spiritually blind; Christ does not exist.
To those who are spiritually deaf; Christ does not speak.
To those who will not seek Him, Christ will not be found.
To stay on course, use the Bible as a compass.
Knowing the Living Word, is the key to understanding the written Word.
Jesus is the Answer! What is your question?

May 2018 Mesasage

After Death, Then What?

Most never think of eternity,
As they keep on, in iniquity.
Judgment seems not, to enter their mind,
They must think God, it totally blind!

To one and all shall come, Judgment Day,
You cannot avoid it, there’s NO way!
We must consider, you and me,
As we walk on, to eternity!

Eternity! Just what does it mean?
It’s something future, that can’t be seen!
It really exists, God’s Book does say,
It’s there that we all, shall be one day!

This life on Earth, is where we decide,
Where in eternity, we’ll reside!
We must consider this, seriously,
Paying attention, so carefully!

Foremost, the Lord God, we must believe,
If salvation, we want to receive.
We must have faith in Jesus, God’s Son,
Trust Him always, as to Him we run!

Only Christ Jesus, has Heaven’s key,
Just He can lead, to peace and glory!
He can make it, so in Heaven we dwell,
Just He can keep us, from the fires of Hell!

After death, have you thought where you’ll go?
To Heaven above, or Hell below?
The decision rests, just in YOUR hand,
Hell’s horror, or Heaven’s Glory land!

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (KJV)
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)
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)
1 Peter 1:4-5 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (KJV)
IS YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?

So often, the New Testament describes the TRUE Gospel and condemns ALL false, other gospels (2 Cor.11:4). The Almighty Lord knows there is a battle for souls between God’s Truth and Satan’s lie. Because each person’s eternal destiny depends totally on what he or she believes, no one can believe both the Truth of God and the lie of the Evil one. Even though a person believes in God . . . Who is He? And the Bible says Christ is our Saviour . . . what does that mean?
IF God’s Truth is compromised or perverted in any way, these other gospels do NOT save but they eternally damn those who believe it. Why is this so? Doesn’t this condemnation seem harsh?
Why is what a person believes so important? Isn’t it enough to be sincere? How can anyone be sincere (honest) and believe Satan’s lie instead of God’s Truth? Dear one, God has given each one of us the ability to know the difference! Romans 1: 19-20 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (KJV)
So it is, that those who reject the Truth literally condemn themselves. One of the most solemn and terrible verses in the Bible follows. 2 Thess. 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (KJV) . . . God can and will send a strong delusion that they should believe the lie, that they would be damned. No one can blame God, if He helps them believe the lie that they insisted on embracing.
The damned are caught in their own rebellion and left for eternity with the lie they loved. How awful, yet so just! It is from just such a fate that Christ died to save us. Rebellion against the infinite God requires an infinite penalty that we as finite creatures could never pay. We would be separated from God eternally, and I do not think anyone wants that! (2 Thes.1:8-9).
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).

The Bible Does Not Exaggerate

The Bible, only the Truth does tell,
It speaks of Heav’n, but also of Hell.
Heav’n is a place, of bliss and glory,
While Hell is a place, of agony.

The Bible clearly states, right from wrong,
It tells us to avoid, Satan’s throng.
The eternal God, wants us to know,
To His Home on High, He wants us to go.

Many Promises to us, God makes,
Such as, “I’ll ne’er leave you, nor forsake.”
All God’s Promises, are ours to claim,
Let us claim them, in Christ Jesus’ Name.

When troubles arise, where do you look?
Have you e’er thought of, God’s Holy Book?
All correct answers, can come your way,
If you are wise, you’ll do it today,

The Bible does not, exaggerate,
On the worth of Jesus, O’ so great.
It speaks of His awesome love, so true,
And what He endured, for me and you.

Have you e’er consider’d, what He has done?
This Man, God’s only begotten Son.
He paid a sin debt, He did not owe,
So we’d not have to go, to Hell below.

Exaggeration, God’s Word does not do,
All its pages, are completely true.
What it states about Christ, you must believe.
Or the glory of Heav’n, you’ll not achieve.

Blessings and Curses in Deuteronomy 28
Conditional Blessings . . . IF . . . and Curses . . . IF

The first 14 verses of Deuteronomy 28 are Passages that people really like. Very likable words! People quote the verses and are more than ready to apply them to themselves. Also, some pastors like to use the verses to pray for their congregations. BUT, few people have any desire to read the rest of the chapter. Are you guilty? Have you ever “Read the Bible through in a Year”? I have one inmate who has read through the Bible multiple times, 20? 30? But, in my estimation, that is all he has done . . . READ! I honestly do not think the Words of this magnificent Book penetrate his heart. I pray I am wrong.
When you read verses 1-14, you relax and even gladly apply the verses to yourself. BUT, when you reach verse 15, many seem to freeze, or just read and do NOT consider what is really being said. When you read the "good" verses, you have no qualms. Then you come to verse 15, and the 54 "bad" verses that follow and you become tense and uneasy. You start to seriously consider just what is being said. Almost 5 times as many "bad" things (curses) are mentioned as "good" (blessings)! WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TELL US? It is quite simple! Israel's obedience to God’s commandments was the condition for the blessings of the first fourteen verses. See the IF in the following verses.
Deut. 28:1-2 And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. (KJV) Deut.28:9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. (KJV) Deut.28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: (KJV) . . . IF! IF! IF! Emphasis mine. Conditional! IF they (and we) obey God!
Disobedience to God’s commandments is the condition for the curses in the following fifty-four verses. See below.
Deut.28:15 But it shall come to pass, IF thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: (KJV) Deut.28:58 IF thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; (KJV) . . . IF! Emphasis mine. Conditional Promises!

What do you want from God? His blessings? OR His curses? God has NOT changed! Just as Israel had to OBEY God to be blessed, we too must OBEY God OR His curses and punishment shall follow. We as Christians must diligently, willingly and lovingly obey His commandments in the Scriptures to have His blessings. Obey Him and His blessings will be yours. IF we follow the Golden Rule, we will NEVER do or say anything bad or evil against anyone! God knows our hearts! We CANNOT fool Him. Believe the Bible, it does NOT exaggerate or lie! We can have God’s blessing upon us when we obey, OR His wrath will bring curses our way when we disobey His Word!

The Constant Need

Isaiah 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. (KJV)

My soul does not cease, of the constant need,
To honor and praise You, and give You heed.
I feel as Isaiah, no words can provide,
How my heart feels, as in You I abide.

Like a watered garden, to us You tend,
On Your goodness, we can always depend.
Like a spring of water, You don’t deny,
Your Fountain of kindness, will not run dry,

So many things You do, run thru’ my mind,
Blessings You bestow, because You are kind.
Abundant blessings, You bestow each day,
Leading and guiding, each step of the way.

I thank You, for Your watch care over me,
Day or night, You watch continually.
I thank You for the angels, who stand guard,
Who keep away all danger, from me barred.

I thank You, for eternal salvation,
Giv’n to me, by Your dearly beloved Son.
Redeemed, from the eternal lake of fire,
Promised Heav’n instead, that I would acquire.

Your lovingkindness, and amazing grace,
Make me know one day, I’ll meet You Face to face.
So I’ll keep off’ring, the sacrifice of praise,
My heart-felt gratitude, to You I’ll raise.

So many reasons, for the constant need,
That gratitude and honor, from me must proceed.
I must praise and thank, the dear LORD above,
For all the goodness, that comes from His love.

God’s Goodness: (Ex.34:6; 2 Chron.6:41; Neh.9:25; Ps.25:7; 27:13; 31:19; 33:5; 52:1; 107:8-9, 15, 21,31; 145:7; Ecc.2:24; Isa.63:7; Jer.31:12, 14; Hos.3:5; 6:4; 10:1; Zec.9:17; Mat.6:31-33; Rom.2:4; 11:22;15:14; 2 Cor.5:21; Gal.5:22; Eph.5:9; 2 Thes.1:11) God’ Love: Rom.8:38-39; 1 Cor.2:9; 2 Cor.13:11; 2 Thes.3:5; Tit.3:4; 1 Jn.2:5; 3:17; 4:9; 5:3; Jude 1:21) God’s mercy: (Ex.15:13; 20:6; 33:19; 34:7; Num.14:18-19; Deut.5:10; 7:2,9; Ps.23:6; 25:7,10; 33:18,22; 36:5; 59:16-17; 86:5,13,15) Hope, In God
God’s faithfulness: (Gen.9:15; 18:19; 21:1; Deut.4:31; 7:9; Josh.21:45; Ps.9:10; 36:5; 40:10; 71:8; 89:1, 24; 119:90, 138; Isa.25:1; 44:26; 49:7; Lam.3:23; Eze.16:60; Hos.2:2; Zec.8:8; 1 Cor.1:9; 10:13; 2 Cor.1:20; Heb.6:18; 11:11; 2 Pet.3:9) Guardian angels: (Ps.34:7; 91:11; Dan.6:22; Mat.18:10; Lk.16:22; 22:43; Heb.1:14) Heb. 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)

As I wrote the commentary on the tremendous Book of Isaiah, the more I realized how much I loved this wonderful man, and how much I realized that how I felt about the Lord was much the same way Isaiah felt.

Isaiah loved and revered God so much that he just did not seem content in describing the loving-kindness of Him, which He shows to His sincere worshippers. I often have this feeling. I just cannot say enough about how tremendous and wonderful our awesome God really is! Isaiah uses symbols of a watered garden, and a spring of waters which we cannot find anywhere else than the LORD, so it is absolute wisdom to seek Him. The devil and the world offer in vain, nothing but desolation and emptiness. It adds up to this: the Fountain of God’s kindness never dries up, but always flows continually . . . unless WE do something to stop its course.

Disobedience to God is a terrible thing! Disobedience is in reality, a spring, NOT of water . . . but of SIN! It would be wise for us all to check out what God may think of our life! Is there any continual sin in your life? Repent and get rid of it, and trust and accept God’s way, and that wonderful Spring of Water or Fountain of Life will quench your thirst forever!

Receiving a poem in the middle of my work does not happen too often, but when it does, it is a sign to include it in what I am working on, so it is in our commentary of Isaiah. I hope you see what the goodness, faithfulness, love and mercy of the LORD means to me. The need to thank and praise Him is constantly with me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU LORD!

WORDS OF WISDOM
It’s not what’s in your pocket that makes you thankful; but what’s in your heart.
A heavy heart is made lighter each time you thank and praise the Lord.
When you put God first; you have peace and joy that lasts.
When you pause to think; you have cause to thank!

August 2018 Mesasage

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

Do you see what I see in our Lord?
Such great love that He will not retard.
This wondrous love, to us freely giv’n,
Just thru’ this love, can we attain Heav’n.

Do you see what I see in His Cross?
Without His death, we’d be total dross.
Our vile sin would mount, causing God’s wrath,
Without His Cross, we’d be on Hell’s path.

Do you see what I see in His Blood?
Precious and holy; a cleansing flood.
As you kneel in sheer humility,
His Blood will cleanse you and make you free.

Do you see what I see in His scars?
He paid the price; death should have been ours.
Those nails did not hold Him to that tree,
Love held Him there, love for you and me.

Do you feel what I feel in my heart?
Such joy and peace, it won’t e’er depart.
Contentment like this, just He can give,
Such wonderful blessings as we live.

Do you see what I see in the world?
Wickedness by Satan, being hurled.
Christ will come in the clouds one day soon,
We must be ready; night, morn, or noon.

(Jn.15:13; 14:1,27; Ro.8:35-39; 5:1,9; Ep.2:16; Col.1:20; 2:14; 1 Co.1:17; 1 Pet.1:18-19; 1 Jn.1:7; 1 Thes.4:13-18; Gal.6:14; Mt.26:28; 24:36)

I have brought this Message back again. It was the May 1997 Monthly Message.
Please consider the words. I have revised it since then.

Our precious Saviour and Lord, Jesus will not hold back or delay His love for us as God’s children. Both Jesus the Only begotten Son and God the Father love us! The Father made a Way possible for ALL His children to reside in Heaven with Him. His precious, One and only Son, was made a Sacrifice for us. In the Old Testament, we see sacrificial animals being offered unto God. They were “without blemish” (Ex.12:5; Lev.22:19-22), meaning they were perfect, as was our precious Redeemer! This was looking forward to Christ. Since Christ was the “Sacrificial Lamb, without spot or blemish” (Eph.5:27; 1 Pet.1:18-19), and He was accepted by God the Father for our sins (John 15:13; Gal.1:4; Eph.5:2), it is no longer necessary to offer a “blood sacrifice” to God. Christ Jesus, our Saviour, offered “one sacrifice for sins forever” (Heb.10:12). “For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Heb.10:14). Praise be to God for His love for us! If you have accepted Jesus, YOU are sanctified (set apart) as God’s children. Jesus, and ONLY Jesus has the power to make you God’s child (John 1:12-13). Without Jesus, only HELL awaits!
When you are washed by the Blood of Jesus, God no longer sees your sins, He will “pass over you” (Ex.12:13). How wonderful this is!

Do YOU See What I See?

Do you see what I see in our Lord? . . . Do you see His awesome love? He would never have taken the abuse from His own people; ‘His own received Him not’ (Jn.1:11), in fact they are the very ones who condemned Him to die on that horrid cross (Jn.19:6,15). If it had not been for His awesome LOVE, He would have called legions of angels (Mat.26:53), to rescue Him, from the terrifying torment of the cruel whipping with those cat-of-nine tail whips (Jn.19:1-3) before He was finally nailed to that agonizing cross (Jn.20:25). IF He had not gone to that cross and paid the penalty for OUR sin, WHAT would we do? HOW would WE pay the penalty?
Do you see what I see in His Cross? . . . Without His death on the Cross, Hell would be our eternal destiny!
Do you see what I see in His Blood? . . . Only the precious and Holy Blood of Jesus, shed on the cross, can cleanse you from your sins and give you peace! Nothing else!
Do you see what I see in His scars? . . . Can you imagine the agonizing pain He suffered when they pounded those nails into His Flesh?
Do you feel what I feel in my heart? . . . The marvelous blessings of contentment, joy and peace, that only Jesus can give us! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Do you see what I see in the world? . . . The wickedness is getting worse day by day. God is just about fed up with it (Gen.6:5). It can’t be much longer when Christ shall come in the clouds and call us up to Him (1 Thes.4:13-18). Are you ready for Him to come?

Words of Wisdom
To believe in Heaven and not Hell,
is like saying all is good and there is no evil.
To get to Heaven, it’s Who you know that counts.
Faith in Jesus is the only ‘Ticket’ to Heaven.

September 2018 Mesasage

THE WORLD OVERLOOKS THE GREATEST BLESSING

The world overlooks, the Greatest Treasure,
All they desire, is riches and pleasures.
Just of the ‘here and now’, do people think,
They don’t realize that they, are on death’s brink.

The Greatest Treasure, the world cannot see,
For they never think, of eternity.
Always too busy, to ev’n look His way,
They are too busy, rushing thru’ their day.

The world overlooks, what Jesus can do,
He and He alone to Heav’n, can take you.
But most people think, there are many ways,
And they just reject, what the Bible says!

When the world, the Greatest Treasure denies,
Satan rejoices, and false hopes applies.
People follow him, on that big broad road,
That lead to agony, in Hell’s abode.

The world speaks of Christ, just in blasphemy,
Cursing, vile jokes, friend, this should not be!
And they call those who love Him, Jesus’ freaks,
On Judgment Day, fear shall come, when Jesus speaks.

IF the world would just turn, to the Greatest Treasure,
He could give them comfort, peace and pleasure.
His grace is sufficient for us, always,
And He ne’er leaves, ne’er forsakes, all our days.

For the whole world, this Great Treasure is there.
Jesus is available, everywhere!
Be wise my friend, accept Jesus today,
For to get to Heav’n, there’s no other way!

Pro.21:20; Isa.33:5; Mat. 6:21; Mat.13:44, 52; Luke 12:34;
2 Cor.4:6-7; Col.2:3; John 14:1-3; 1 Pet.1:2-5

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
TRUE, ETERNAL BLESSINGS, ARE FOUND ONLY IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

What does the word blessing mean to you? I think it really conveys the idea of reward, peace, joy, comfort, happiness, etc.. To be blessed is to be happy or rewarded. There is no doubt that we all in this life, yearn to be blessed, but WHERE do most people (Mat.7:13) look for these blessings? They look in all wrong places, all wrong sources! They seek blessings in the vain, temporary things of this world, never once considering the Ultimate Source of all blessing, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Matthew 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, (KJV)
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (KJV) . . . What does it mean to be poor in spirit? It is exactly opposite being haughty, proud, self-assertive and self-sufficient. To be poor in spirit is to admit you are absolutely helpless before God. It is being humble and meek, like Jesus.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (KJV) . . . Mourn?? For what? YOUR SIN! The first Beatitude must be applied to your heart and life first, or you will NOT, you CANNOT mourn for your sin. When we truly mourn for our inexcusable wrongs, and we confess them to God (1 John 1:8-10). . . we are comforted by the fact that the precious Blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:19), God’s only begotten Son (John 3:16), cleanses us from all our sin.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (KJV) . . . Again, we must go back to the first Beatitude. Poor in spirit is being humble. Being humble is being meek. A person is either proud and arrogant OR they are meek and have a humbled heart. If we exalt ourselves, one day He will flatten us, squash us like a bug! But if we humble ourselves, one day He will lift us up. Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (KJV) . . . We ALL are sinners. We have NO righteousness of our own (Isa.64:6). To hunger and thirst after righteousness is actually to have a constant, burning desire to be right with God.
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (KJV) . . . See: Psalm 18:25. Our Lord clearly teaches that we must have compassion to our fellow man. The first four Beatitudes are heart exercises. This Beatitude is speaking to our soul. Since God merciful to us, we must be merciful to those around us. God is merciful to us! We must be merciful to others.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (KJV) . . . NO honest person can say that his heart is pure (Jer.17:9). Only Jesus can purify our heart . . . “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” (John 15:3).
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (KJV) . . . God’s children must do all that they can to keep the peace and strive to recover it when it is broken. If the peace-makers are blessed, then it is woe to the peace-breakers!
Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (KJV) . . . Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake are blessed by God. I believe that persecution is a characteristic of TRUE Christians. When you take a firm stand for JESUS, people will separate you from their company, they will condemn you and they will mock and ridicule you and cast out your name as evil. But IF we are persecuted for Christ’s sake, we should be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven! God the Father will make sure that those who lose anything for His Son, shall gain Heaven, with Jesus in the end. Thank You Precious Jesus!

The Sermon on the Mount is a very difficult lesson for us all. It teaches opposite of what the world believes and teaches!

October 2018 Mesasage

THE DEVIL’S VOICE

When you take a firm stand for our Lord,
From worldly pleasures, you’ll be barred.
You’ll be tempted each and ev’ry day,
By the devil’s voice, wanting you to sway.

The devil’s voice, you’ll hear, ev’ry hour,
You need not give in, for you have pow’r.
The Spirit of Christ abides in you,
Resist the devil; to Christ be true.

The devil’s voice will tempt by pride,
You must stand firm, and in Christ abide.
He’ll tempt by pleasure; he’ll lie to you,
Don’t list’ to him, don’t look at his view.

The devil’s voice is subtle and sly,
He’ll try to make you, Jesus deny!
He’ll tempt by lies, and hypocrisy,
Satan is your utmost, enemy.

The devil’s voice will say: “It’s all right,”
To have those impure thoughts, day or night.
He’ll quote Scripture to lead you astray,
He wants you to follow, the wrong way.

When you take a firm stand, for our Lord,
The devil’s voice will speak, with false words.
Submit to God, the devil will flee,
The power of Christ has made us free.

Do NOT listen to the devil!!! Great danger is ahead IF you do!!!

Words of Wisdom
The devil’s temptations bring out the worst in us; but God’s tests bring out the best.
One of Satan’s most effective ‘wiles’ is “wait awhile.”
To recognize Satan’s lies, focus on God’s Truth.
When the going gets easy, you MAY be going downhill.

HALLOWEEN . . . HELLOWEEN

Halloween [HELLOWEEN] is, without a doubt, a PAGAN holy day that should be very seriously considered by all those who profess to be Christians. With each passing year, more and more people of the world (unbelievers) 'celebrate' Halloween! They see nothing wrong with the devil’s holiday! BEWARE!!!!

Many people think Halloween is a harmless holiday that ushers in the fall and provides children with a great reason for either collecting candy or playing a trick on someone. But recently, it has become a 'holiday' for millions of adults who spend great amounts of money for it.
Halloween is a serious event in the lives of those who practice witchcraft. When asked about Halloween started, many in the church would say something about All Saints' Day, but they could not explain the traditions associated with the October 31st date.
Halloween is known as "The Festival of the Dead" among the believers of witchcraft. October 31st had a great deal of significance among the ancient Celts and their Druid priests. This festival marked the change from life to death . . . a changing of the guard from the warmth of the sun in the spring and summer to the cold of the moon in the fall and winter.
More and more communities have their "haunted house" on Halloween. Kids talk about what they've seen . . . a bloody body in the bathtub, a maniac chasing them with an ax, a monster swinging a chain saw, a body hanging by the neck in the closet, the refrigerator filled with bloody body parts. Christian parents . . . is this really what you want for your kids??? No wonder there is so much violence and murder in the country!!!
Let's go on! What about Halloween parties??? A group playing with the OUIJA board, asking it questions, wanting it to tell them about their futures. Another group is watching a horror movie on a CD. Still another group meet at a graveyard, they lay on a grave, making an attempt to contact the dead . . . and what about those who go out into the dark night to cause destruction and havoc. And, last but not least, but worse . . . others are being initiated into witchcraft to become witches. This is what goes on in many communities on Halloween night!!! Again I say . . . BEWARE!!!
It's Halloween! Is it really harmless fun you say? My friend, Satan candy coats Halloween! The so-called harmless holiday of Halloween is a diabolical wickedness, a horrible evil that is directly connected to the occult, witchcraft and Satanism. Christians . . . you need to be warned of this evil! BEWARE!!!!
People say "Halloween is a time of innocent fun for kids.” My dear friend . . . Halloween has NEVER been innocent! It can condemn your soul to Hell! BEWARE!!!
Ephesians 5:11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (KJV)
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (KJV)
Galatians 5:19-20 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (KJV)
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (KJV)

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

The above is not a poem but a prayer. It was the . . . December 2009 Monthly Message, and I am bringing it back for the November 2018 Message.

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 has 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.

Words of wisdom
It’s not what’s in your pocket that makes you thankful; it’s what’s in your heart.
Thankfulness depends on what you have in your heart, not in your hand.

December 2018 Monthly Message

THAT BETHLEHEM BABE

‘Tis hard to comprehend, how that Baby,
        Could possibly in the God-Head be!
       But Baby Jesus, as in the manger lay,
     God, His only begotten Son did display.

Our God descended as a humble Man,
‘Twas God, the Father’s well thought out Plan.
His bed was not adorn’d with silver nor gold,
But a wooden manger, in a barn so cold!

The Christ Child who came, is Master of all,
Those in palaces great, or huts so small.
Many angels welcomed Him, as they sang,
As their booming voices, in the night rang.

The Child, by the hosts of Heav’n was ador’d,
Christ Jesus, is the everlasting Lord!
The God-Head was veil’d in flesh, perfectly,
The Babe was the Incarnate Deity!

The Heav’n born Prince of Peace, came that night,
To “whosoever,” He brings life and light!
He was born, that we may die no more,
And gives us grand blessings, He holds in store.

He was born, to give us a second birth,
Came to save the souls, of all those on Earth.
On that wondrous, holy night, long ago,
The Christ Child came, salvation to bestow.

This humble Man, was born for you and me,
To give us a GIFT: life eternally,
God’s Promise fulfill’d, the Messiah came,
That Bethlehem Babe; Jesus is His Name!

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (KJV)
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, (KJV)
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (KJV)
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (KJV)
I have been teaching God’s Holy Word (the Bible), for many years now. It never ceases to amaze me! When I read the prophecies in the Old Testament, then go over to the New Testament and see where they were fulfilled . . . to the letter, I know for a fact that God NEVER lies!
But, there are some things in the Bible I simply cannot understand, therefore I cannot teach them. Many things were not meant for us to understand completely, and the virgin Birth of Jesus is one of those things! I KNOW (without a doubt) it happened! I KNOW (without a doubt) it is true! I BELIEVE God! If we believe one thing in the Bible, we must believe it all, cover to cover!
WHY is the Virgin Birth so important to the Christian faith?
Jesus, God’s Son, had to be without sin. The sinful nature of mankind is passed on to ALL other human beings by Adam. Because Jesus was born of a woman, He was a Human Being! But . . . as the Son of God, JESUS WAS GOD, and He was born without ANY trace (whatsoever) of human sin. Jesus is BOTH fully Human AND fully God! I cannot explain this, but I firmly believe it!
BECAUSE JESUS IS A MAN, and lived as a Man, He fully understand everything that happens to us. Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (KJV) Our High Priest understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin.
BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD, He has the power and authority to deliver us from the devil and from sin and its curse and penalty. Col. 2:13-14 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; [14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (KJV) Before we become God’s child, we are spiritually dead because of our sins, and because our sinful nature was not yet cut away. When we accept Jesus, God made us alive with Christ, and forgave all our sins. He canceled our sin record that contained the charges against us. He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ's cross.
We can tell Jesus everything: our thoughts, feelings, needs. He has experienced what we experience; He has the ability to help us, and He is willing and able to do so. Better still; He can grant to us the greatest GIFT there ever was or ever will be, ETERNAL LIFE!
The world’s ‘Christmas’ is a time of wild parties, decorations and buying gifts for people, and most often, going deep in debt to do so. God’s celebration of His Son is a time for giving the GIFT of Christ and eternal life, and that celebration is 365 days a year! Have you accepted Jesus into your heart and life? God so graciously offers you this unspeakable Gift (2 Cor.9:14), but it is NOT yours unless you accept it. Unspeakable Gift = indescribable, can’t be put into words!
May you be blessed with the TRUE Spirit of Christ all through the year. May our awesome triune God give you abundant peace and joy and contentment through His precious Son, Jesus now and for ever!
