Find Out Who God Is and Be Blessed With The Fire Of His Love [ 13:10 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

God is probably one of the most misunderstood beings ever. People are always assuming that God is cruel or that He doesn’t exist at all. It’s funny and it seems that the ones that don’t believe He exists are always the ones that show up in religious article comment boards or forums stating just that. Seems to me that they would spend some time trying to find evidence that He doesn’t exist (which no one ever has yet) instead of wasting their time being arrogant by putting people down and mocking God. God is a Loving God.

If people would take the time to get to know God with an open heart and mind, He will gladly reveal Himself to them. The only thing that I can figure out is that they fear truth. Even people that believe in God fear truth. Is it because they are afraid of what they may have to do? Could it be that they may find out that they were wrong? or Could it just be because of their pride?

A person’s pride will keep one disconnected from God, a God who wants nothing more than to love us, be a part of our lives, bless us with prosperity, freedom, happiness and everlasting eternal life. A God who will protect us from our enemies and watch over us because He is our Father. With all this, why do people not accept Him or should I say, “Choose Him” over this passing world and temporary life?

Maybe one day when all this is over, people will get a chance to see truth. When the blinders come off and the plank is removed from one’s eyes, maybe they will make the right choice. May God Bless You

God Gave Us Free Will [ 8:46 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

God gave us free will to chose to love Him or rebel against Him. What it means to rebel against God is to basically give in to our pride and choose the things that are an abomination to God. When we choose our will over God’s will we travel on the road to self-destruction that leads us into the darkness, but when we choose God’s will we travel on the road that leads us into the Light which is eternal life and true peace which can only be found in God’s love.

God loves us so much that He does everything He can to help us overcome our destructive ways. Besides the love that He gives us and His mercy, grace and how He is so patient with us, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to teach us, to show us the way back to God. Jesus did the will of God and was beaten, scouraged, humiliated and nailed to a cross all for our sake. This is how much God and Jesus Christ loves us, yet many reject them and choose their carnal self over eternal life. The world can only offer temporary happiness along with the misery that comes with it. God offers peace, love and freedom from the bondages of this passing world. Your choice: peace, happiness and life or the world and death.

We All Hope For A Better Life

Where in the world are we placing our hope these days? It seems that man is placing their hope for change everywhere but the right place. Let’s find out just where man has been placing their hope.

We take our hope and place it in something with a vision in our mind thinking that this is what the outcome is going to be. Our imagination can run wild and believe that men can make a change and give us a better life than what God has to offer. Ask yourself this, “Has man ever given you happiness, joy, peace and love that will last forever?” Can man give you eternal life? Can man give you protection from your enemies? Read more

The Bible is full of times when people or a community of people had hope when they were met with despair, hope for a better day, a day when things were not so bad. They had the same hope when they were waiting for the coming of a Messiah. The Messiah finally came and His name was Jesus Christ. Those that realized He was the true Messiah, turned their hope into joy. Read more

Life and Death – Physical and Spiritual

When Adam and Eve sinned, their carnal eyes opened. Sin had caused them to lose that spiritual bond they had with God. When they were living a spiritual life, death had no hold on them. It wasn’t until they sinned that death would come upon them. God allows death to the flesh so man won’t live forever in the misery of sin. Would there sin cause them to lose life after death?

Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden so they would not partake of the Tree of Life and live for ever in their sins. We all know that one day we are going to die, it’s inevitable. The one thing we don’t know is “when”. Many people are afraid of death, but why? Could it be that this life is all that they have going for them? Could be that this is where they set their hearts, on the world, instead of Jesus Christ. If you don’t know Jesus, this could cause you to be afraid to die. Call on Jesus for life after death of the flesh. Revelations 3: 3 ‘Repent. If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, without telling you at what hour to expect me.’ Read more

What is Your Fear of God?

Sometimes we get that feeling that there is something missing in our life. We feel a void, emptiness inside that can’t be filled by the things of the world or any person’s companionship. Even though we may have many people who love us, a family, friends and others that we may be in contact with from time to time, we still feel lonely inside. We often wonder what it’s all about and what can we do to get rid of that isolated feeling inside of us.

Many people feel a love in their hearts for God, but lose it when they choose to go back to the world. For others, they reject the Love that God has towards them, they may even go as far as denouncing God. For those that try to live their life for God one day and the world the next day, they are living as Jesus has said in Revelation about the church of Laodicea.

It’s a terrible thing to have to be the one who angers God. Our sinful nature causes us to be blind to the wonderful things God is offering us like, joy, peace, true freedom and happiness. The main thing that He offers us is everlasting eternal life.

We need to look inward not outward. Ask Jesus to help you see yourself, so you too can nail your flesh to the cross and be reborn. The flesh is corrupt and it corrupts our mind, our heart and our soul. Which leaves us disconnected from God.

Jesus will help us overcome our flesh and the bondage of the world. We just have to humble ourselves, have the desire to give our will over to God, be willing to accept the life that He has laid out for us, learn to love one another and be uncontaminated from the world.

Jesus can fill that void that we feel inside of us, the one that we can’t fill ourselves even though we try to over and over again with the things of the world. That is why man has to constantly seek out new things that will temporarily bring him/her happiness. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life. Imagine being truly free from all the things of the world and living in a peace that the world or man can never bring you.

For those that don’t believe in God or do not serve Him, the “fear of God” is to be afraid of His wrath. For those that believe in God and try hard to be righteous in His eyes, the “fear of God” means to have reverence for God.

Good Master, what have I to do to inherit eternal life?

Matthew 6:19-21 ‘Do not store up treasure for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasure for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

What treasure is stored up in your heart? What’s attached to my heart?, worldly things?, things of the flesh?, people?, places? You could find a number of things if you look. These things are what keep God out of your heart. God is a jealous God and loving someone or something above Him is not loving God. You can test yourself to see what’s attached to your heart by seeing if you can live without whatever you have. All the different things you do, people you love, and things you have.

Luke 18:18-23 A member of one of the leading families put this question to Him, ‘Good Master, what have I to do to inherit eternal life? Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments : You must not commit adultery ; you must not kill ; You must not steal ; You must not bear false witness ; Honour your father and mother. He replied, ‘I have kept all these from my earliest days till now. ‘And when Jesus heard this He said, ‘There is still one thing you lack. Sell all you own and distribute the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven ; then come follow me.’ But when he heard this he was filled with sadness, for he was very rich.

It’s that attachment thing, his heart was full of temporary love. Not the everlasting love of God. Rich doesn’t always apply to people with millions. If you have more than someone else, you are rich. Detachment is the way to a spiritual life and true spiritual love for God and your neighbor. Luke 18:24, 25 Jesus looked at him and said, ‘How hard it is for those who have riches to make their way into the Kingdom of God! Yes, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.’

In Jerusalem there was a gate called “the eye of the needle”. It was only big enough for one person at a time to pass through. It was the only gate open at night, in case of enemy attack. If a person wanted to bring his camel into the city at night he would have to unburden the camel. Removing all items attached to the camel. Then he would have to get the camel down on all four knees and have him crawl through the gate willingly.

Now, we know that camels are pretty stubborn animals, probably the most stubborn. In this scripture Jesus is using a camel to describe us. We can be pretty stubborn when it comes to giving up our petty little lives. When we follow Jesus and in our walk with Him, we need to unburden ourselves, by lightening the load we carry.

How about your mind? We constantly occupy our minds with meaningless thoughts. Things like, how much better things would be if you had a lot of money or a better job, daydreams, things we lust for, etc., etc. Our life is supposed to be in Gods hands and we are supposed to do His will. But how are we supposed to find out what Gods will is for us if we keep our minds occupied with frivolous things? Our minds should be occupied on spiritual things, like proving God’s promises and fulfilling the laws of righteousness. How corrupt is your soul?

John 2:13-16 And pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And when He had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, He drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers He poured out, and the tables He overthrew. And to them that sold doves He said : take these things hence, and make not the house my Father a house of traffic.

The body is a temple and it houses your soul. What you bring in can corrupt your soul. Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Your other bodily senses can corrupt your soul. Just like the Jews corrupted the temple of God. They’re scales were not true, they sold blemished animals (like buying a lemon). They were con artists and thieves. The things of the world and also your carnal self will rob your soul of the love of God and everything He promised us. We need Jesus to come into our temple and clean house(Colossians 2:11 circumcision of the flesh).

Love God with all your strength. God loves people that are strong and brave, ones that can cut it. Ones that are not afraid of tests and trials. He does not want a kingdom full of wimps. God wants people who can stand up to satan and everything he can dish out. (read Job) Not people as in the parable of the sower.

Mark 4:14 What the sower is sowing is the word. Those on the edge of the path where the word is sown are people who have no sooner heard the it than satan comes and carries away the word that was sown in them. Similary, those who receive the seed on patches of rock are people who, when first they hear the word, welcome it at once with joy, but they have no root in them, they do not last ; should some trial come, or some persecution on account of the word, they fall away at once.

God will give you the strength you need to face tests and trials, provided you have faith. God will never give you more than you can handle or give you a way out. Overcome your weakness’. Don’t gloat on your victories or satan will have the last laugh. Keep your gaurd up. Satan will be back and he will hit harder. Be Strong!

Jesus says in Matthew 6:24-34 ‘No one can be the slave of two masters : He will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave of both God and money. That is why I am telling you not to worry about your life and what you are to eat, nor about your body and how you are to clothe it. Surely life means more than food, and the body more than clothing!

Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns ; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they are? Can any of you, for all his worrying, add one single cubit to his span of life? And why worry about clothing? Think of the flowers growing in the fields ; they never have to work or spin ; yet I assure you that not even Solomon in all his regalia was robed like one of these. Now if that is how God clothes the grass in the field which is there today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will He not much more look after you? you men of little faith.

So do not worry ; do not say, “What are we to eat? What are we to drink? How are we to be clothed? It is the pagans (worldly people) who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Set your hearts on His kingdom first, and on His righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow : tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

You have a choice of two lives to live, one is worldly and the other is spiritual. Problem with the worldly life is that when you die, it dies also and you are left with nothing. The nice thing about the spiritual life is that when you die only your flesh dies and you keep on living because you stored up your treasures in heaven. No more tears or sorrow. We will finally be home with God , Jesus and the Holy Spirit, also with all those that made the choice of life. The ones that decided to love God over the world and their own self.

We spend to much time for ourselves, and self is pride. Pride is the root of all evil. Pride is the root of the tree of death. All sin comes from pride. Give up yourself, your life, pick up your cross and follow Jesus to the tree of life. Too many people believe that there is nothing wrong with enjoying life’s pleasures. And that God wants us to. And they say, ‘He made all this for us to enjoy.’ Well, Jesus says in John 18:36 ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’

Go back to the beginning before the fall, and read what God created. 1John 2:15-17 ‘You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man who loves the world, because nothing the world has to offer – the sensual body, the lustful eye, pride in possessions – could ever come from the Father but only from the world, with all it craves for, is coming to an end; but anyone who does the will of God remains for ever.’

So for the pleasure seekers, the ones that say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with this or that,’ Have a nice trip! But for those that follow Jesus and die in Him for the sake of loving God, and gives up their life for His love, see you soon.
