Isn't it wonderful the Lord is so very patient with us!! :-)

I'm not a guy, but I will tell you the same thing that holds true for women, and married folks...set aside a time of fasting and prayer. Set yourself like a flint toward the Lord with the desire to live a holy and godly life...making Jesus your First Love! FLEEEEEEE fornication...look to Joseph and Potiphors wife as a great example...if someone comes to mind, pray for that person and move on. Our God will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability....according to His word and a promise to us...HE will make a way of escape.

I want hell to tremble when I pray and put a thousand to flight! That is a dangerous place for the devil to be when Christians pray! At the name of Jesus demons have to flee.

Looking at all the news and what is taking place around the world and in our own nation I believe we need to take a close look at these scriptures below, and keep them safely tucked into our hearts as we who know Jesus can clearly see the day is approaching, and our Lord could catch away His Bride any day now, and the anti- christ step on the scene for his short lived season. BUT as we wait and look for the Masters return, we need to stay in the Word!! LIKE 4:32 "And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power." Proverbs 4 1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. Isaiah 29:23-24 (King James Version) 23But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. 24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:9-16 (King James Version) 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 2 (King James Version) 1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee There are more scriptures on doctrine and sound doctrine. Please take the time to look them up on your won and study them out. STAY IN THE WORD! OCCUPY ... SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS ... JESUS SAVES

Please forgive me everyone. I did not mean to start a thread that would turn into a big argument.

There was a time in this nation the American Flag was held in high esteem because of what and who it represents. There was a time the name of Jesus was held in high regard in this nation because of Who He is...and He is the only answer.

1 Corinthians 11 (Amplified Bible) 16Now if anyone is disposed to be argumentative and contentious about this, we hold to and recognize no other custom [in worship] than this, nor do the churches of God generally.

post has been deleted by me because it is not worth arguing over.

If a everything Jesus did was recorded the world could not contain all the books. It is safe to say He spoke the language of His parents as His native tongue, and that He could speak any language He wanted, too, if He so chose, through the Spirit.

Whenever we see the names of God we can quickly denote a charactor trait of God. In Exodus He is called Jealous because He wants to show us Who He is in respect to the very first commandment. If we look at and even experience Him through each name, we learn of Him, and His promises, and as we gain a deeper knowledge we come to the understanding that He is the Alpha and the Omega...He is everything to the believer. He is I AM!!!! and His name is Jesus!

It is said that if we were to help the butterfly remove itself from the cocoon, the butterfly would not be strong enough to survive. It is the struggle that prepares the butterfly to become strong enough to fly. Without the struggle in the cocoon, it could not survive as a butterfly. The Lord prepares each of us in similar ways. Some of our childhoods seem to have been harsh and born from a seemingly unloving God. However, the Lord knows our struggle and will make our life an instrument in His hand if we will follow Him with an upright heart. He does make all things beautiful in His time if we are willing to be patient. ...excerpt Os Hillman

I BELIEVE WHAT MUST WE BE DOING IN THIS LATE HOUR CAN BE SUMMED UP IN TWO WORDS..............LOOKING.........OCCUPY Titus 2:12-14 (King James Version) 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Jude 1:20-22 (King James Version) 20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22And of some have compassion, making a difference: 2 PETER 3 17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. Luke 19:12-14 (King James Version) 12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TIL I COME. OUR GOD IS SO VERY GOOD!!! :-)

Romans 10:8-10 (New King James Version) 8 But what does it say?

A reminder to remember the National Day Of Prayer on May 6th. A judge in Wisconsin has ruled it to be unconstitutional and our President has decided not to celebrate it at the White House this year. If we just sit back and do nothing we could loose this special tribute to the Lord just as we lost Bibles in schools. Yes, our prayer closet it the most powerful place on earth, but the National Day of Prayer was given to us as a day to stand together as one. This is a Christian nation that embraces people of all nations. Lets pray we can keep it as such. ---Student of The Word

President Obama Meets With Billy Graham MONTREAT, NC (ANS)

Whether witnessing to the masses or one on one, what did the very first Christians do when they witnessed of Jesus? Acts 2 14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: ... Every word that followed was scripture. ............................................................................. ACTS 6 7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; ... ................................................................................ ................. ACTS 8 27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. ................................................................................ ...................................................... SOONER OR LATER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE WATCHING OUR LIVES, IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT WILL CHANGE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE DRAWN TO THE LORD BY HIS SPIRIT. TRY LIVING YOUR LIFE BEFORE THIS WORLD WITHOUT EVER TELLING THEM WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND YOU WILL BE GIVING THEM A PIECE OF CAKE WITH NO FROSTING THAT STICKS TO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE IT IS SO DRY. Understood saves..I have had some people tell me I need to quote scripture word for word and some even say from a particular translation.Is this necessary? Again, please ask the Lord to guide you in talking to this particular person. He has to prepare your friends heart to receive. A good starter is your own personal testimony of what the Lord did in your life. As you speak about the Lord certain scriptures just come into your mouth, such as John 3:16. The word of God is sharper that a two edged sword and will accomplish what the Lord intends. Keep planting those seeds and pray for your friend.

AGUA, PRAY THE LORD WILL HELP YOU KEEP CONTACT WITH YOUR FRIEND AND OPEN HIS HEART TO THE GOSPEL SO YOU CAN TELL HIM OF JESUS. ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU SPECIAL WAYS TO WITNESS TO YOUR FRIEND. I OFTEN TELL PEOPLE HOW MY GODLY GRANDMOTHER USED TO WITNESS. SHE WAS A BUSINESS WOMAN AND OWNED HER OWN RESTURANT. WHENEVER PEOPLE CAME IN SHE WOULD BEGIN A CONVERSATION WITH A FRIEND OR SOMEONE SITTING NEAR BY AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE LORD HAD BEEN DOING IN HER LIFE OR HOW SO AND SO GOT SAVED ECT., ETC...SHE HAD A BILL BOARD ERECTED ACROSS FROM HER RESTURANT ADVERSISING, NOT HER PLACE, BUT IN GIANT LETTERS WAS PRINTED JOHN 3:16...VERY GOOD CONVERSATION STARTER...HER LIFE WAS CHRIST CENTERED AND HER ACTIONS WERE CHRIST CENTERED. SOONER OR LATER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE WATCHING OUR LIVES, IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT WILL CHANGE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE DRAWN TO THE LORD BY HIS SPIRIT. TRY LIVING YOUR LIFE BEFORE THIS WORLD WITHOUT EVER TELLING THEM WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND YOU WILL BE GIVING THEM A PIECE OF CAKE WITH NO FROSTING THAT STICKS TO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE IT IS SO DRY.

JESUS IS LORD! I don't see anything about HIM that could be fluffed off as comical. He brings me joy. He makes me laugh. But not in a comical sense. Theatrical comedy is meant to entertain. The gospel is meant to save. That's pretty serious. JESUS SAVES

Amen

Psalm 18:8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire." John 14:9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? The church of God uses a neat symbol that represents all three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit as One. It is a flame encircling a cross.

I was listening briefly to my car radio today and I heard we are about to loose the national day of prayer because it has been declared unconstitutional. They went on to say we can still have our national day of prayer this May 5th. Anyone have all the details?

Later Meyer said: "When we want to know God's will, there are three things which always occur: the inward impulse, the Word of God, and the trend of circumstances. Never act until these three things agree." It is the Holy Spirit that gives us the desire and leads us toward it.
