ROMANS 8:1 There is Therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
PSALM 1: 1-2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

We are still looking for a church in the area, but presently meet at various places for now, with only a few members at this time because we are new and haven't let people know about us. We will be advertising our Ministry every place possible very soon. Our hope is to gain new members even if they have no money to support our Ministry as already said on the bottom of this page.
We will have a new Church address coming very soon as we are moving to a new location in Florida.

Below is what God has inspired us to write on this website, and more about us on our "Faith Page" link.
God tells us in His word that we will suffer afflictions and as His word says: many are the afflictions of the Righteous, but the Lord delivereth them out of them all; however He chooses to; and His love strengthens us and helps our body to heal emotionally and physically and HE feeds our spirit, the most important thing to help us function properly.
And we are made up of three things, our mind that controls our emotions and our thoughts, our body that gives our life a place to live, and our soul that God breathed into Adam apart of Gods own DNA that is in each of us, that makes us Eternal beings, but we are flawed Eternal beings and only Christ can fix that. And God wants to give us strength and He does that through His Word, His Holy Spirit and through other Christians that pray for us.
And His word also tells us that this outer man is slowly decaying and to expect health issues, some of us more than others. But one day we will have new bodies that will never get sick or experience pain and suffering again, and we will never die, we will live forever with our Lord, the Lamb of God and God our Father and His Holy Spirit. God uses the Pastor and the elders of the church as an extension of His Hands, and God also uses sincere Christians as His word tells us to pray for one another, and praying for your needs is apart of our church ministry and even though we are very Traditional we Reverence the Lord but without hindering His Holy Spirit.
And we know that the Lord does not heal as He once did when He was here on earth first of all because He knew the gift would become abused, and He limited it and allowed the gospel to supersede all gifts. Because that is the most important thing to God bringing His children into the kingdom of God. And healings main purpose was to let everyone know that Jesus was of God when He was here on earth and it was never meant to give us an easy life, even ST. Paul after a while could not heal his friend who was near death.
We are not a healing ministry, but we believe what the Bible says, in JAMES 5 and that is to pray for the sick and we will believe the prayer of faith with you and in Gods word He says that He will forgive your sins and if the Lord chooses to, He can raise you up and sometimes He does heal us, but most of the time, we have to take some type of medications or have to go the hospital and get an operation to survive. But that is to be expected because we are all under the elements as Christ was also when He was on earth.
I am sure HE felt the pain of those nails being hammered into HIS hands and feet and being beaten and could hardly breathe with HIS arms held high for so long and crushing HIS lungs and that was the easy part, the wrath of God was coming next, where for the first time in all Eternity HE was separated from the Father for a moment in time, but was being kept by the HOLY SPIRIT, when HE was losing HIS own Soul, that has to be the most pain and suffering for anyone or anything because we were all made in HIS image and Christ was literally being ripped apart.
That is why HE said (Why hast Thou forsaken Me) to the Father, in the Book of PSALMS it quotes those words that Christ fulfilled on that cross that day. But the HOLY SPIRIT was watching HIM and knew that Christ could persevere and come out to the other side victorious. And that is our hope also to come out to the other side victorious through our Faith in HIM.
And if that wasn't bad enough, HE had all our sins laid upon HIM. And felt the punishment of each sin you and I and everyone else ever committed in all creation, who was worthy of spiritual death. And in that moment in time God was separated from God for the first time ever, for Christ to eventually die and taste real death for us. Yes for us. He went through all that for us. So please don't complain if you have to endure some suffering now and then or even worse. Come back and read these words to comfort you.
Satan and every non-believer will face that same feeling that will last for an Eternity as the Scripture tells us in the Book of REVELATIONS.
We will always suffer on this earth in this life and in these bodies. But God is helping us through the knowledge of medicine and is always ready and willing to strengthen us and forgive our sins and hear our prayers. God already knows what we are going through and He wants to help us. And HE most certainly can supernaturally heal us at times.
But we have to stay balanced and rightly divide the word of God and not run off with trying to out do God just because of one or two events that we actually see HE did for us, that can amaze us, but it is not a way of life, we jump to wanting to make it happen all the time every day and change the whole world. You will only do what God allows you to do in this life. It is God who makes the calls from HIS Heavenly Throne and trying to boost HIM from HIS Throne and put yourself there with your own idea of how things should be run in this world that belongs to HIM and HIM only. Because that is delusional thinking and that is how Satan thinks and acts and has been doing it ever since he became evil.
But in my reality I don't think we realize that God is healing us by allowing our own body do the work to heal us and when it needs more help, we go to our Doctor.
That is our reality that we live in and the elements we all are under. This is not meant to discourage anyone. We know that God can do anything HE wants.
But HE doesn't stop hurricanes, HE doesn't stop wars, HE doesn't stop divorces, HE doesn't stop birth defects, HE doesn't stop bad people and I could go on and on. But I believe God is helping us when we don't even realize it.
If we could see past present and future, we would probably see all the times God intervened on our behalf in spite of HIM not healing your cancer, in spite of HIM not healing your marriage and I could go on and on. God put HIS only Son through hell and back and we should be so grateful for HIM Saving our souls and doing more than we could ask of HIM in spite of not having a perfect outcome every time for everything. Lets thank HIM for all HE has given us. Amen. But if you want to still go for it, but seek HIS perfect will first. We are all going to be in our new bodies soon, so the most important thing on this present earth today is filling the Kingdom with HIS lost.
OH see what I am saying and Listen to HIM and let the yeast fill all the meal to add those that belong to HIM and get them Saved from Eternal Damnation.
We know that everyone has a different way of expressing their faith and feelings to the Lord and that is the freedom you will have at our services, so you can relax and enjoy being in the Lords presence because we understand that, and we know that it is the Holy Spirit who we want to be in control of our services, and we know from our study, that someone at a church service might feel so sad who just lost a job or loved one etc., and someone else may be happy and still someone else may be so afflicted they need prayer and someone else might be sick and need a touch from the Lord, and someone else might be struggling with sin in their life, or someone else is opening their heart to God to receive His Salvation and become apart of Christ's body, and the Holy Spirit is there and wants to help all of them, but some churches ignore the needs of the people and they leave empty. We want you to be blessed at our services and feel Gods love, joy, and comfort.
No one is exempt from troubles. Not even God. as just said above, Look what He had to go through, offering up His only Son to die in our place. So be strong and be of good courage because the Lord is with you and will bring to pass in you what He began in you and keep you in His care until the day of Jesus Christ.
The Bible says, that JESUS CHRIST is the express image of GOD. Think about what is being said here?
And when Phillip asked Jesus to show us the FATHER and it will satisfy us, JESUS said: Have I been so long with you and you can't see yet that I AM the FATHER. When you see ME, you see the FATHER. The FATHER and I are ONE.
God is working in the lives of all those that belong to Him including those that are less fortunate or who have a deficit that belong to Him. We are all equal in Gods eyes and it is irrelevant to God about a person's deficits.
Because GOD makes that very clear in His word in the book of EXODUS when HE was speaking to Moses;
when He said who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I the LORD?
God has everything designed to express HIS Love, HIS Mercy and deliverance and to let you know who HE is. Christ is the deliverer. And manifested it 2000 years ago and even now.
This is what Christ was referring to when HIS disciples' asked who did sin this man or his parents?, when the blind man asked for his sight to be restored. And Jesus said neither this man or his parents but that the glory of God could be made manifest. Jesus is GOD. But Satan causes problems to hinder Gods people also and there is a difference. Like when the woman was bent over practically her whole life and Jesus referred to Satan as the one who caused it and Christ healed her, because He is GOD and HE proved it by both of these things above because HE is over ALL things.
Christ is over Satan, and over all the things Christ HIMSELF made. In the Old Testament God turned back Time by 15 years for someone.
Time is multidimensional, it is not something you can define. It can affect one person while not affecting another person at all, or affecting all.
You know that God has at least a 3,000,000 IQ Plus and it's so much more than just HIS high IQ. It is who HE is and what HE is made of, even though HE is ONE, GOD is also multidimensional, so ONE can be many things and still equal ONE. You cannot separate HIM or pull HIM apart, and HE is still ONE. CHRIST is ONE with the FATHER.
AND there is nothing HE can't do. JEREMIAH 9:23-24.
Except one thing.
And that is interfering with your free will.
But only one thing will allow God to interfere with someone else's free will and that is PRAYER and FAITH. But God will use your free will for HIS purposes if HE has to, like HE did with Pharaoh.
Pharaoh worshiped Darkness, even though he may have thought it was light, and held Gods people in bondage, he showed how cruel he was to Gods people. An example of how cruel Satan is.
And all God did was to push Pharaoh's Darkness to the limit to show Evil up and let Evil know that LIGHT is more powerful than Darkness and more powerful than Pharaoh, but Pharaoh pushed back and ran out of his many bag of tricks that his magicians tried to use, and God won and Satan saw it. But Evil doesn't know when to give up and it never will, so God again will push Evil to the limit in our near future to expose it completely and eventually eradicate it.
We, that know Christ, have that same similar power, through prayer, faith, and our words. Like when Jesus said if you say to this mountain be plucked up and cast into the sea, it should obey you.
You must believe it, to make it happen. That's the hard part. Having absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Because your words and your faith have to be lined up and in total agreement with each other and must be heard in Heaven on high first before they can begin here and come to pass on earth.
Christ knew that, because everything HE did while on this earth, HE was constantly in contact with the FATHER with every word HE spoke and with every thing HE did to make it come to pass. You have to literally move yourself emotionally out of the picture, and only see what you want to happen and let Heaven hear about it and Christ said it will come to pass. That is how God gets things done also.
But not to bust your bubble, it seems that there might be a few strings attached to all this and that is, it has to line up with the will of God. And God lets us know in our heart, ahead of time, if it does or not. Because if God knows that if a certain person needs to go through more affliction to get them where HE wants them, so they will grow and be mature enough to work in His Kingdom or just to be a better person.
And you pray for God to help them, HE may not answer that prayer because God can see long range and in the long run it ends up being positive for God and the person and one domino can affect the others, so there are other variables at work here. It doesn't have to make sense to us. It only has to make sense to God and we are to trust HIM no matter what the out come is, period.
Because we are living in a contaminated multidimensional Creation with contaminated people, but that doesn't stop God or Christ from accomplishing what they set out to do and it never will. But we are humanly flawed and not in our new immortal bodies yet either, and are subject to the laws of Creation and the elements we all are under. So some things we ask for will happen and some things will not happen. So we have to grow our faith to make what can happen, happen. And leave the rest in Gods Hands.
Because Moses could not speak well meaning he could not articulate well he was of a slow tongue, ( he did not feel as though he would be credible enough to convince his people as well as Pharaoh that he was going to set his people free with Gods help ) and he was pointing that out to God when God asked Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him ( the king of Egypt ) to let Gods people go to offer sacrifices to God 3 days into the wilderness, and Moses told God to please get someone else to do the job, he was practically begging God, and God was getting angry with Moses, so God accommodated Moses by letting his brother Aaron do the talking to Pharaoh instead of Moses because Aaron was a good speaker, and Aaron would be Moses' spokesman and God told Moses that He would make Moses like a god to Pharaoh and Aaron his brother would be like a prophet to Moses and would accomplish what God wanted them to do. And God said that He would put Gods own words in Moses' mouth and Moses would put them in Aaron's mouth. EXODUS chapters 4 through chapter 15.
But God did not change Moses' speech problem. They were the cards Moses was dealt in this life and God worked around Moses' deficit. God doesn't sprinkle some magic dust on us to make everything perfect for us to do HIS will. We have to take the cards we were dealt in this life and do the best we can with them and yield ourselves to God. Some things are fixed and unchangeable. And God doesn't want us to look at the deficit or a problem like Moses was doing. God wanted Moses to focus on what God could do through Moses in spite of Moses' deficit.
And it was an opportunity for God to show who HE is and that God is LOVE and HE wanted to fellowship with Moses not frighten him and he wanted Moses to know and understand HIM. And most of all God wanted Moses to willingly want to help God deliver HIS people from bondage. And God shows us HE is willing to work along with us and try to accommodate us when we ask for His help to complete what HE wants us to do for HIM.
And God was with them in spite of all the fears they may have had. And God did accomplish what He set out to do. And even ST. Paul also had a problem speaking, but God still used him our beloved ST. Paul. They all obeyed God and did what God wanted them to do.
God knew that it pained Moses to see his Hebrew brethren being mistreated, and God also heard the cries of His people and went straight to Moses to enlist his help to ease that pain in Moses' heart and help God deliver His people from slavery in Egypt. But the enemy immediately started to wrestle against Moses and put fear in him and to point out his weaknesses, but God patiently helped Moses overcome his fears when Moses started focusing on Gods strength instead of his own weaknesses. Moses was a solution to a problem, he just had to see it.
God is watching us and one day we all will stand in His Presence. And people there that have missing body parts caused by war or an accident or something else and others there with every other deficit, of some kind or another, will make no difference at all to God because He is the only one that can complete any of us and we will be made whole for all Eternity. And it's all about trust in God. We need to rely on God for our walk in this life and trust Him to guide our path and it is ok to not be 100% and God can still use us to accomplish His will , but most of all He loves us and wants our co-operation and He doesn't want us resisting Him. And I think that was the point God was making to Moses and I think He has made that clear that without Him we are nothing and we will never be able to sound a beautiful note on Gods musical chart that each of us have to serve Him and bring cheer to Him, and to be apart of His rescue plan for mankind.
Of course there is more to this story about Moses and you gain a deeper understanding of what the Scripture is saying through Bible study. God has a way of layering Scripture that is why when we study Scripture through our own mind we can come to a different conclusion or see only one layer of what God is saying, but when we Study Scripture through the wisdom of the HOLY SPIRIT of TRUTH because only truth can interpret truth, you will come to an entirely different conclusion of what God is telling us.
We did a study on why a lot of people do not attend church, and out side of them wanting to stay in their sins or they wanted the church to accept them along with there sins, and being prideful and arrogant about it, and they know God hates sin but they don't care. But the problem here is: God is not going to accept anyone's sins, not after what He put His own Son through to pay for their sins and the whole purpose of the church is to patiently lead people out of sin, not accept sin. And point people to Christ because it is only Christ that stands between you and God, you must go through Christ to have the rebirth process and have your sins forgiven. There is no other way to Heaven, the Bible tells us this, and it is Gods plan for you to be saved.
Christ is the only way to GOD. And Satan is going to try and convince you that there is another way to GOD or even worse that there is no GOD, and that there is no hell or lake of fire, and when you die, you just stop existing and you never have to worry about facing GOD and giving an account of yourself and the way you lived on HIS Earth, eating HIS food and breathing HIS air that HE gave to you. So, I guess, you'll just have to wait and see won't you?
And some people are confused, because life has wore them down so bad and they end up feeling isolated, or they made mistakes in their life and think they are hopeless, and that God will not help them or forgive them. Everyone makes mistakes, you cannot live in this world without making a mistake, big or small. We learned that people have to break free of those negative thoughts and come and be around Gods people and they will fine that Gods people also are imperfect and need Gods healing and forgiveness in their lives. We all do. There is strength in numbers as said earlier on our" Purpose Page".
And knowing none of us have completely arrived yet where we no longer need Gods help and forgiveness, meaning we will always need to come before Him and ask for His forgiveness and cleansing. And He promises to forgive us. To those that are humble and hate sin. But not to the prideful and the arrogant. God already knows none of us are going to bat 100% that is why He sent Christ His Son for us, but only the meek and humble will really understand that.
And when people come to church they are not all going to feel the same, it isn't one size fits all, people are at different places in there lives, and God realizing that we are not perfect people. And God knows each of us and has our life mapped out before we even know, He knows our end before we know it. That is why He wants us to trust Him because only He can change the chapters in our life and give us a good outcome.
And God knows how to make good come out of a bad situation. And He started that back in the Garden of Eden for mankind, when He made Good come out of Evil for us through what His only Son would do for us. God wasn't going to let Satan win, God had Eve's back and He's got our backs', and all those that put their trust in Him. And He will make good come out of your situation if you yield to Him and trust Him no matter how hard things get, as ST. Paul said: having done all to still stand and keep standing. Because God is seeing your faith.
We are to love one another and have mercy towards one another, to those who show repentance, and especially those of the household of CHRIST. But you must rightly divide the word of God in everything.
God tells us in His word that we have a responsibility to help the helpless and the fatherless and to stand in His place here on this earth to defend the weak and the humble. He hears the cries of the Righteous and God will repay, He tells us vengeance is mine saith the Lord. We should pray for them and all people.
That is why we have law enforcement and the courts to help us. And ST. Paul said that is why God made them to help us and also punish those that do evil. So don't worry because God is watching everything that is going on and all of it is being recorded in the Books of Heaven. And no one is exempt. All of us will stand before Him one day and give an account of the good and the bad that we have done in our flesh on this earth and again no one is exempt. But we are safe in Christ and our sins are forgiven when we walk in the Spirit and not after the flesh, He is our Covering, the only Covering that is not flawed. It is His Spirit in us that makes us want to love and forgive and have mercy on others, and to want to do His will.
We are to be harmless as doves but wise as serpents, the Bible tells us. And AVOID Evil doers. That might even mean to avoid some family members, some neighbors, and some people that just want to violate you, etc. And we realize we ourselves can not solve every problem and we have to put up with some things we don't like. All of us do. But God helps us get through it. And He does look out for us and comes to our defense. And HE has His Angels watching over us and when we are ready to die and leave this world they will take us to be with God our Father in Heaven, our Eternal home in a New World and a New Heaven after the millennium.
Maybe your doing everything as right as you possibly can and are really going through what seems an unbearable time, it is tough times, people losing their jobs, there homes and the pressures of life can be overbearing. It is a time when most of us are having our faith really tested in one way or another. But we are going to have to man up and trust our Father God to get us out to the other side of it and we pray that He will, and we will stand firm with our faith in Him and not wavering.
And we want to ask God right now to help you and lift you out of any despair you might feel and to lift your troubled heart and to take away any and all fears that you may have, and guide you into His loving arms, where you will feel His love and mercy for you, and we pray that He will help you think good thoughts and not the bad thoughts that keep you down, and we pray that you will trust Him to heal your emotions, and set your thoughts on Him and give you the peace and comfort you need.
Because it is our thoughts that build who we are, and we can build ourselves into an emotional wreck and even worse or we can build ourselves into a loving caring person and into anything we want for good and not evil. The Lord said: as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. So we pray right now, that you, through the grace of God, will not be thinking sad negative thoughts that can hurt you, and will start thinking good positive thoughts that can help you and change your life for the better.
You are the only one who can decide who you want in your life, and who you don't want in your life, and that is between you and God. His word tells us if it is possible to live at peace with all men. But we all know from having certain family members that, that may seem sometimes impossible. And in some cases it is better to avoid them than to have severe conflict, that can cause unnecessary sickness and heartache for all concerned, as said earlier. And we can pray for them for GODS Good in their lives. God can heal marriages and broken relationships, but not all will be healed for one reason or another.
II CORINTHIANS 6: 14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath Light with Darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Be-li-al? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. And He also says Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
And usually the number one reason is: being unequally yoked together with someone who is not saved and who is not living for the Lord. And next, having a sinful and prideful heart, being a liar and lacking respect for your fellow man and your family. And next, also having a serious personality disorder that might not show itself until later on in the relationship. And another reason is: in some cases someone having some physical and emotional health problems, that some people cannot handle. that is usually the reason for failed relationships. And we have to leave it all in HIS HOLY HANDS. It's all apart of life. We get through it with HIS help.
That is the reality of this life. No matter what happens to us in this life, disappointments and worse, God will never leave us or forsake us. The Bible says: that CHRIST sticketh closer than a brother. That is all that matters, we abide in HIM and HE abides in us no matter what?. Amen. And it's all about still walking through this life with GOD when it seems that all else has failed us, but HIS Life will never fail us. And God has a way of getting us through anything that can happen to us through HIS LOVE, HIS Correction, HIS Teaching, HIS Wisdom, HIS Peace, and all this is found in JESUS CHRIST.
But God already knows that we all must avoid those that try and put a stumbling block in our way. In fact His word tells us that those that try to hurt us; that it would be better that a millstone were wrapped around their neck and they be cast into the sea, when HE was referring to the little children. Meaning if they do things that will harm us and our walk with the Lord, that God will punish them. All of us were once a child and some of us were severally abused in some way or another. Children are defenseless. But GOD is recording it all.
And the enemy is just one step away from finding someone to put a stumbling block in our way. You better believe it, and be prepared for it. You may think you are untouchable from Satan's schemes. You may think you are going along so peaceful with every passion in you in complete compliance with the Lords will, until all of a sudden the tempter puts something in your path, you may have thought could not touch you, and you are not prepared for it. That is the enemy's whole objective to catch you off guard. Then the battle begins within you, that is what ST. Paul meant when he was speaking about the tricks of the devil.
Don't we all wish we didn't have to go through stuff like that. I mean isn't life hard enough? The fact is we all are going to have to go through these things and be affected by them. So that is why we all have to man up and put the whole armor of GOD on, the helmet of Salvation, the breastplate of Righteousness and the Sword of the Spirit. All these things belong to GOD and that is what will defeat the devil not us. So how do we get all this armor? By committing 100% of yourself to JESUS CHRIST.
But God is faithful and will pull you through whatever it is, because greater is CHRIST and HIS Power in you than that of Satan and the world. Don't feed the tempter's desire to pull you down a wrong and deadly road. You can win over Satan. Fight for your life that is what GOD wants you to do and you will win the battle. That means resist the devil and he will flee from you. The word of GOD tells us that. You have to tell Satan that it is Christ and HIS Words that are invincible in you that will give you the victory over the enemy. In reality Christ is saying to Satan "see My Blood in them that I shed for them" You can't touch them or have their soul, they belong to ME, so back off and leave them alone.
And God tells us in His word that He will punish those that try and hurt us. So praise God, that is why we need to stay close to the Lord and His Body of true believers. And His word tells us to keep our minds stayed on Him and trust Him to keep us safe in Him. And He said He would, and it's His words that come to our defense and it's His words that will protect us from evil. His words tell us; whether we live or die we are the Lords, so there is nothing to fear. Because we have the Testimony of Jesus Christ, the Word of God living in us and His Blood Covers us and Christ is our Eternal Covering. Amen!
And for some reason or another it is so easy to lose our focus on our LORD and let the little things and the big things unravel us and take control of us and anger us up. We get caught up in the moment of things that really get to us and we get lost in it and we find ourselves fighting the battle alone without God. And it is a helpless feeling when this happens to us. And it can really put a lot of stress on us emotionally, mentally and physically.
We forget to take a deep breath and think of our Lord and that HE is with us and is able to get us out to the other side of the problem. The enemy uses fear to crumble us and it works most of the time. But Christ comes to us and lets us know HE is with us and not to fear anything and what a difference His calming Peace can make in our lives.
Some are living two lives on this earth. Some serve GOD and at the same time they serve the enemy and they have become accustomed to that way of life, pleasing themselves first, then pleasing GOD to a point. The only problem here is; they are still lost and not found yet, they don't want to be found and they are playing a dangerous game with GOD. But the bottom line is this: It's GODS way or the highway to the lake of fire. And it's your choice not GODS that will get you there.
We are of Traditional Faith. And we have outlined our beliefs and Faith values that are explained in our church policy. We do not share a belief system that has total disregard for what God hates. And we know that Satan has blinded them to the truth.
But we also realize that God and the Holy Spirit is constantly guiding those that truly belong to Him out of deception and into the truth and that is not for us to judge anyone but rather pray that God will reveal His truth to them. And it is only in Gods timeframe when that will happen. And we know that no one is out of reach for God to renew their minds and to be made anew by giving them His Salvation, forgiving them their sins and as the song goes "God can make the vilest sinner clean ". And as His word says, He will not remember our sins or hold them against us, and He also says, if we draw nigh unto God that He will draw nigh unto us.
We do not involve ourselves in Political matters or a specific Political Party as the Evangelical Movement does. Our Movement is to do the will of God and exalt HIM only, not a Political Party. And we realize by taking this stand that some churches will not like us, but that is our Calling here at Greatest Love Ministries to exalt our LORD and SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST and HIM only.
We are to pay taxes and render to Caesar what's Caesar's and try and make a difference for good in the world by putting what is right above a Competitive Political Parties agenda, and render to God what belongs to God and that we will do and are doing. If man wants to worship Caesar above God or blend the two together, that is their choice.
I am grafted into the Covenant that God made to Abraham making me a Spiritual Jew by faith. But I was born in the USA even though my father was a German and my mother was Italian and that makes me a citizen of the USA, making me an American, just as ST. Paul was a real Jew (a Pharisee) but he was a citizen of Rome. Making him a Roman.
And he had to fight for his rights for being falsely accused by the Jews. Very similar to how it is today. We have laws and courts to go through to solve problems. And because we are a Democratic society, we can vote and have certain freedoms some other countries do not have. We now have a mixture of every kind of different faiths and beliefs in our country just like the Bible said we would have, when it referred to us, our country in Scripture.
But ST. Paul was preaching the word of God above all other faiths and was being persecuted by the Jews and the Romans for doing the will of God. We also are seeing signs of the Christian faith being taunted and persecuted by others and their faith ideology or non faith, right now, in a mixed faith society. But God is recording it all in the books of Heaven.
Gods word in PSALMS tells us that sinners will not stand in the Congregation of the Righteous.
And that is at the end when Gods Grace ends for mankind. So now is the accepted time to receive Gods Salvation, so you will be sure that you will be among those in Gods Congregation. Why would you want to be left out? God tells us that His people are perishing for the lack of knowledge. Meaning they don't want to hear the word or read the word to learn about God and understand what His words mean that can save their life. This ministry wants to save your life, your soul from death as well as other ministries that are led by the Power GOD.
We are a Non-Profit Corporation, Christian Church Ministry, and are 501-c3 tax exempt in the state of Florida, USA.
A Denomination cannot save you it is only through the grace of God and the shed Blood of JESUS CHRIST on the Cross that paid for all our sins that will save any of us.
But Christ has built HIS Church and HE started with His Disciples and even back then there were divisions. It is Christ who is the HEAD of the Church and the HEAD of the Pope and the HEAD of any Denomination or any Preacher, Ministry, etc. It is Christ who saves us, and HE makes that clear.
The Pope didn't die on the cross for our sins no one else did either.
But Christ made Peter a shepard similar to a father here on this earth for all of Gods people. Remember when Christ said to Peter; Feed my Sheep and HE asked Peter if he loved Christ and Peter said, yes LORD, you know I love you and Christ said, then feed my Sheep. So Christ called out Peter to represent Christ here on this earth for HIS CHURCH. But it is Christ who builds HIS Church who are made up of all different races of people and all Christian Churches that are true to HIS Word.
In the Scripture in ST. Matthew, Christ is telling Peter and all the disciples that whoever sins they remit, they will be remitted ( forgiven ) and those they do not remit will (not be forgiven). And whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven. It says it in Gods Word, He gave that authority to Peter and all the disciples and the Church would grow from that point in time to now and with perhaps some changes over time. But we see, as said earlier, it seems that there may be some discrepancies in their beliefs or things we don't fully understand yet as we are just beginning to study the Catholic Faith more fully.
But when St Paul went to all the different towns and Countries he preached Christ Crucified, and his mission was to preach to all the Gentiles and told people to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. And little homes preaching the gospel sprouted up all over the country. And different Denominations started growing, as stated in the Scripture along with what is now known as the Catholic Church, but most with JESUS CHRIST being the HEAD of HIS CHURCH (those little churches) and the Catholic Church which are one. And of course more Denominations started over the past 400 years as some faded out. So I see two things here at work
1) What Christ told St. Peter; that on (this Rock) I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it and Christ gave the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and all the disciples' and to all those HE would choose after Peter and others to help bring in the lost sheep, HIS sheep into the Kingdom of GOD.
None of us can tell the HOLY SPIRIT what to do. HE alone follows what God wants HIM to do.
We know that only CHRIST is the HEAD of HIS CHURCH.
But Christ Called out Peter to begin Christ's Church. Every thing and everyone is under CHRIST and we that are sanctified by the Blood of JESUS CHRIST and all those that God chooses to build HIS Church and are saved through HIM, God is with them and guides them by His Holy Spirit into all truth.
It seems that God doesn't sweat the small stuff like we do. He already understands our humanness and if you listen to the Bible on our site or read your Bible you will see that God doesn't expect us to be perfect, HE expects us to let HIM be perfect in us. Because the flesh is flawed and always will be. So we must live and walk in the Spirit to be able to commune with the Father and Christ and bare fruit and have HIS peace.
But it is the Holy Spirit who sets up Gods Church governments here on earth. And we trust God to lead us into all truth. And not overstep the Holy Spirit.
And Christ did set it up starting from Jerusalem and ending up in Rome (The Vatican) the main, central Church of the Catholic Faith, where all the Popes and those under him dwell. And it has now spread all over the world along with different denominations.
And Christ gave the disciples special powers to show the world that they belonged to HIM and to begin preaching the gospel of Salvation.
Powers to heal people and power to forgive people their sins through the HOLY SPIRIT by leading them to Christ, not to themselves. Christ said that we can do nothing without HIM.
We are the branches and HE is the Vine, The Life Line. It was Christ's Spirit in them that did the healing and the forgiving of sins and that drew people to the LORD. You must be Called by Christ Himself and be connected to HIM to receive life from HIM to accomplish HIS will. One of the disciple's came to Christ and said: that there was a person that was not apart of them (The disciples') and were casting out devils and spreading the gospel of Christ. This disciple was telling on them, and Jesus said: he who is not against us is with us. What did HE mean? HE meant that it is God who endows us or anyone HE chooses to work in HIS kingdom to do the works of God. Something the Catholic Church and other denominations still do not understand today. But God knows the true from the false.
There is no one today like them (The disciples'). The greater works than these that Jesus spoke about was bringing in the lost into the Kingdom of God. Preaching the gospel to the world. Telling the Good News to Save people from their sins and let Christ give them Eternal Life. What can be greater than that?
A giant TV? a new car? a big house? a lot of money? lusting after everything in life? to mind earthly things above God? Worshipping a Political Party? losing your own soul? Is it worth it to lose your own eternal soul in the lake of fire?
The Catholic Church or as I call it (The Church) has the Oracles that Christ gave them, to all HIS disciples including ST. Paul and all those mentioned in the New Testament, for HIS Church governments and they were lead by the HOLY SPIRIT to organize Christ's Church and Christ allowed other churches with different Denominational names to come under that same One Universal HOLY Christian Church.
The Bible says, the Church and the way it is run is a shadow of things to come.
And one day instead of reading the Bible to hear and learn about GOD we will see and hear Christ instead talking with us in the flesh immortal flesh and the Bible says that no one will have to tell people about God anymore because God will put HIMSELF and HIS WORDS in our hearts and minds. That will be a wonderful time. And it may be closer than we think. Of course Satan's seed will not be forgiven because their eyes and heart are Darkened by Satan and are enemies of CHRIST.
(2) I also see a universal body of believers all across the world, like St. Paul said, you can go directly to Christ for Salvation and receive it and if you are serious about God and want to obey HIM, HE promises to save you. But then go to church (if you can) and come under the Church and fellowship with other true believers.
Because they are not separate being Catholic or being from another Christian Faith. Peter in a sense was the first Pope.
In the Old Testament, Abraham became the father of us all. But when Christ, the COVENANT came and went to hell and took the keys of hell and death back from Satan, that freed us from hell and spiritual death, those who put their faith in Christ.
And Christ gave the keys to the Kingdom to Peter ( and Peter was a Jew as all the disciples' were).
That is a big thing, Christ giving a man the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven? Why? HE loves us. HE loves us so much and wanted to complete the process that God wanted to achieve and that is getting HIS people back to HIM and make them whole again and while Christ is busy in the Spiritual World putting all things under HIS Feet, every dominion and all that was contaminated because of the fall (the curse) and when all is accounted for, HE is coming back for us, and we will step into a New Day with the Godhead. PRAISE, FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST.
Christ's Light will permeate all Darkness and show it up for what it is. And Satan hates that because it will show him up also.
What we bound on earth will be bound in Heaven but if it meets the already laid down rules in Heaven or else it can come back to bite you and hurt you, because you are not God and the Bible says; Thy word Oh LORD is settled in Heaven forever. So there are ground rules for everything and everyone and we are all bound by those rules including God Himself.
Remember what Christ said to the disciples when they asked HIM how many times shall we forgive someone (a brother) that sins against you; 7 times?
And Christ said if they sin against you 7 times 70 in a day, and AFTER THEY REPENT, you are to forgive them. Somehow that gets you off the hook.
And you let Christ or the LAW punish or excuse them. There seems to be a freedom about all this if you can receive it? But as said often on this site, that you must rightly understand the word of God.
That is my observation and Spiritual insight for Gods plan for mans Salvation and about HIS CHURCH and how it would function and they both have been passed down through time till now. They are both equal and they are both ONE and they both get the same results through the HOLY SPIRIT, because they both are under One Head, Christ who is the Head of HIS Church.
Any and all HIS true Churches are ONE.
But not all are under HIS Church. The Scripture tells us that some have departed from the truth and His true Church and are no longer under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. They have gone their own way and they are receiving no Life from Christ at all. And some are standing in the pulpits of a church leading others away from the truth and even some on Christian radio programs, etc., are leading people astray from Gods Word. They put themselves above the HOLY SPIRIT of TRUTH.
But God gets HIS point across to give us an understanding of enough truth to know that our only hope in all Eternity is in JESUS CHRIST who is also Almighty God and what HE programmed into Life to draw us to HIMSELF through the Church HE BUILT and whatever other way HE would decide to use. Because GOD will be the final Judge, of all of us, at the "White Throne Judgment" where we all will stand before HIM and the Books will be opened and whatever is written in those Books will decide our fate.
And Christ said, the truth would set you free and that truth is: Gods Words giving us Redemption and setting us free from sin and its power over us because of what Christ has done on the cross for us. That is your passport to Heaven and to escape the Lake of Fire, to trust HIM with all your might and all your soul and with all your mind. It is not just saying a few words and then going off and living your own life in sin and with total disregard of HIS commandments and death on the cross for your sins. Believe it. and become one of His and have your name written in the LAMBS BOOK of LIFE, in Heaven, forever. And obey Him with your whole heart and read His Word, the Bible, and fellowship with other true believers.
Fellowship with us here at Greatest Love Ministries. We are one of those little churches that are under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and apart of the ONE HOLY Universal Christian Church and Body of True believers through this website, at our meetings, and wherever the Lord leads us. Tell us what you think, interact with us. Have some questions? Let us help you answer them through Gods word.
We believe in the Virgin Mother of our Lord to be acknowledged because without her Salvation would not be available for mankind. Jesus' little body was growing inside her and she brought forth Salvation into the world through the HOLY SPIRIT and her body.
So we can say what the Scripture said to say about her; And the Scripture says, that the whole world would call her Blessed. And we do call her Blessed. She is..... The Blessed Mother.
Elizabeth, John the Baptist's mother, while being with child 6 months, quoted these words, under the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT to Mary, when Mary went to visit her. She said: Hail Mary full of Grace the Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women, and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, JESUS. The Catholic Church added the Word, JESUS. But it is expressed in other Scriptures.
And we take those words very seriously also even though we do not presently recite them at our services.
Our ministry does not worship the Virgin Mother as equal to or above Christ. Because Christ was already GOD before HE was placed in her womb by the HOLY SPIRIT. And she did give birth to The SON of GOD, who is also GOD on this earth and gave HIM HIS FLESH, PERFECT FLESH, she could not pass sin into Christ's body. How was that possible? God made that possible. She was "Immaculate Conception" through the beginning to the end of Christ's birth in order for Christ to be sinless.
The sacrifice had to be sin free or it would not be acceptable to God and satisfy the Decree made in Heaven to set us free from sin.
Christ wants her to be lifted up and reverenced and we most assuredly understand that and we give her the proper acknowledgement and salutation that she deserves. She is completely overlooked in some Non-Catholic Denominations. I wonder why? She is the Blessed Mother period!
She is Christ's earthly Mother and always will be that and she was so much more than that. She wasn't used by God and then tossed away as someone who is nothing or insignificant to Gods plans, she is very special to Christ and God the Father. That is why the Catholic Church calls her the Queen of Heaven.
There are two women spoken about in the book of REVELATIONS, one is a good Queen WITH THE MOON UNDER HER FEET etc. The good Queen, or the woman is Mary, or some call, the Church, so without her there would be no (Jesus Christ) or (HIS disciples) or (HIS Church) to start on this earth and we would still be lost in our sins. God knew just how to pull it all off to rescue us.. Get it?
The bad Queen or woman SPOKEN ABOUT is MYSTERY BABYLON THE HARLOT. THE FALSE CHURCH OF GOD, WHO GOD WAS MARRIED TO. AND WHO WAS GOD MARRIED TO? THE JEWS, BUT THERE THE ONES ALSO INCLUDED IN THE BONDWOMAN'S SEED, THE ONES THAT ARE UNDER THE LAW, THE ONES THAT TRUST IN THE LAW AND NOT IN CHRIST AND ALSO THE LAST GREAT NATION THAT GOD ENTRUSTED WITH HIS HOLY WORD (US) NOT MAN'S IDEA OF A CONSTITUTION THAT CAN BE TWISTED TO MAN'S OBJECTIVES, BUT GODS HEAVENLY CONSTITUTION THAT THEY IGNORE BUT HIDE BEHIND TO MAKE PEOPLE VOTE FOR THEM.
BUT TO BE THE LADY, THE ELECT LADY TO EVANGELIZE THE WORLD FOR JESUS CHRIST BUT THEY WANTED TO PUT THEIR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR AND BOTTLE THE FREEDOM AND WEALTH FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN AND MISSED THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THIS GREAT NATION THAT GOD GAVE TO US AND OF THE TWO CHOICES THEY HAD, GUESS WHICH CHOICE THEY MADE?
BUT THEY THINK THEY DO BELONG TO GOD. THAT IS WHY SHE SAYS, I SIT A QUEEN AND AM NO WIDOW, MEANING SHE HAS A HUSBAND, (GODS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM) AND THE PHONY CHRISTIANS WHO SAY, THEY (TRUST IN GOD, BUT REALLY DON'T) SHE ALSO SAYS, AND I WILL SEE NO SORROW. BUT THEY CAN'T BELONG TO GOD WHEN THEY LEAVE CHRIST OUT OF THE PICTURE. CHRIST IS THE (COVENANT) AND ALREADY FREED THEM ALL, BUT THEY WILL NOT TRUST IN THAT FREEDOM AND THE FALSE CHRISTIANS DON'T TRUST IN CHRIST EITHER THEIR HAND IS STILL IN THE COOKIE JAR.
THEIR LIFE WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GODS WORDS JUST LIKE ESAU, WHEN HE GAVE UP HIS OWN BIRTHRIGHT FOR FOOD AND THAT IS WHAT THE JEWS DID AND STILL DO ALONG WITH THE GENTILES THAT DO NOT TRUST IN CHRIST. THEY GAVE UP THEIR OWN BIRTHRIGHT THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO LIVE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND THEY WILL SEE SORROW, VERY MUCH SORROW, BUT DON'T KNOW IT YET. WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE ON THIS EARTH THE BIBLE SAYS. DO YOU GET IT NOW? SATAN ALSO GAVE UP HIS OWN BIRTHRIGHT WHEN HE COVETED GOD AND BECAME EVIL. SATAN IS THE ESSENCE AND SUM OF ALL EVIL.
CHRIST SAID THAT PEOPLE WOULD COME FROM THE EAST AND THE WEST AND FROM THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH AND SIT DOWN IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB BUT THEY WILL NOT BE JOINING THEM. THE JEWS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IN OR TRUST IN HIS SALVATION. BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES CHRIST CAME TO SAVE, THE JEWS. AND WHEN THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON CHRIST, THEN CHRIST LET THE GENTILES INTO THE KINGDOM AND ALL THOSE THAT WOULD CALL ON HIS NAME HE PROMISED TO SAVE THEM. AND HE WILL.
THERE ARE TWO JUDGMENTS, ONE IS AGAINST THE HOUSE OF GOD AND HIS OWN PEOPLE JEW AND GENTILE AND ONE IS AGAINST THE WORLD. THESE ARE BOTH IN THE FUTURE. BUT THAT FUTURE IS GETTING VERY CLOSE AND AT THE VERY DOOR.
Mary made it possible for us to receive CHRIST'S Salvation. She was part of Gods Salvation Plan. And without her we would still be lost in our sins. That is why the Catholic Church exalts her so much. Some would say maybe to much. But they realize her importance and she is holy. How can she not be holy, she carried Jesus ( The Son of God) in her own womb. When Gabriel was sent from Heaven to Mary, he said; Hail Mary, thou art highly favored among women, and you know the rest of the story in the book of LUKE Chapter 1. Read it or listen to it on our music page link.
As said earlier we are of Traditional faith, meaning: we believe the Holy Bible is the living Word of God and that God preserved all His words for us to read, and learn about Him and understand Him through His Holy Spirit and by anointing holy men of God to write down His words since the time of Moses and of the earliest time known to man, and that word has been passed down through generations as God Himself would make sure that all of His seed would hear and believe and thus obey His words and become saved through the Work, Redemption and Love of His own Son, Jesus Christ, also called the Word of God, and when we place our faith in Christ it would be accounted to us as Righteousness and our soul would be protected from the wrath of God, just as Abraham's faith was accounted to him for Righteousness.
God always had a back up plan for the fall of man, and that backup plan was His only begotten Son. Everything else had become contaminated from the fall of man when sin entered Gods Holy Creation and brought on the curse and separation from a Holy God and only a Perfect Sacrifice would be acceptable to restore mankind back to God and there was no one in all Eternity that could or would give up His perfect life and suffer not just a physical death, but a Spiritual Death of His very Soul, that was the price that had to be paid in the Decrees of Heaven to satisfy a Holy God. And it had to be a man, a Perfect Man, like Adam, but without sin, and Christ was that Perfect Lamb of God and who would leave Heaven to become a man just like us but without sin, and would lay down His life willingly for the Father and us.
Because, when Eve disobeyed GODS Words it meant a life would have to be taken for a life to live. That was one of the Decrees made in Heaven. That is why when Christ died, we died with Him because we are His Body and now, we can live through Him, those who belong to HIM. Go to "Our Faith Link" to learn more.
But the good news is, that Christ was able to take back His own life, which was promised to Him by the Father, after Christ suffered unimaginable Spiritual pain and feeling what it is like to lose ones own soul, so we would not have to. In PSALMS it says, that He was confessing our sins to the Father.
It also says In PSALMS that Satan was tearing at His very soul and probably demons that once feared Him were also snaring and tearing at Him. It wasn't just a physical death that Christ endured, He had the wrath of God also poured out on Him, as already said above, and Satan knew about the Decrees made in Heaven and when he realized it was really Christ there on the cross, he thought it was an opportunity for him to kill Christ and win Gods Throne so he would not have to face his Eternal punishment.
But thank God that Christ was victorious and Satan will try again in our near future because he has something up his sleeve that you won't believe, but it is God that has the Trump card to play on Satan and win. Checkmate Mr. false light pretending to be the real light.
Because only Christ is the only true LIGHT and will crush the false and phony light that leads people into a trap and Satan will not release them so they can be free and he will pay dearly for that too.
And when God made man He gave them and everything He made including spiritual beings "free will".
Why? So there would be fair play for everyone, because we are all held accountable for our actions and what we choose to do and how we live, now that we have the knowledge of Good and Evil within us. And God already knowing everyone's advantages and disadvantages is very fair and merciful to each of us in spite of the suffering we would have to endure from what sin would cause each of us, and it can be pretty bad at times always trying to overcome something, abuse, poor health, spouses, parents, kids, neighbors, bosses, money, the flesh, the world because all that glitters isn't really gold, and lets not forget the enemy himself who is always looking for a way to set us up for a fall. If you are a prideful person like Cain was, you become an easy target for him.
And the Bible tells us, he is a roaring lion going about and seeking whom he may devour, he targets the innocent as well as the prideful, and he knows just who to use to devour you and try to put your light out and taunt you but God is watching it all.
I have a saying, " Evil knows when to strike " it has a mind and a face and it is watching for an opportunity to strike when you are at your most vulnerable and even at times appearing innocent to sway you away from what's best for you or to violently hurt you. In any respect it is very real. And they both get the same results.
Eve was perfect and she still wanted her own way as Satan was, she had free will and she chose to listen to the enemy's words instead of Gods words and it cost her big time.
Satan has "The power of supernatural persuasion", he is a super con. He conned Eve and one third of Gods Holy Angels. He has the ability to take over your own reasoning and twist it to his advantage, just like his own people, his demons, and his demon possessed people can do,
if you are not grounded in Jesus Christ.
And even if you are, there are times, he can try and trip you up by using every emotion inside you.
But for those of us who belong to CHRIST, God in His mercy provided a way for us to be rescued from ourselves and the enemy even when we didn't deserve it when Eve got us into this mess for not listening to Gods words, but any one of us under the same circumstances would have probably done the same thing and that is being conned by Satan to draw us away from God and Satan's been doing it ever since, that is why we must cling to Gods words and write them down in our own heart. And pray, pray, pray.
Because all of us will get stung by someone in life and more than once. Creation is like a rose, before the fall of man there may have been no thorns on it, but now this beautiful flower can give you beauty and sweet fragrance and at the same time can also sting you by its thorn.
I have learned to leave all the evil things that happen to me in Gods Hands. He will be the final Judge, and all of us have to take our lumps in this life because we live amongst the rose bushes and the bees and no one is exempt from getting hurt by a thorn or stung by a bee. Of course that is putting it mildly.
Even ST. Paul said that he was hindered by Satan from coming to see some of the Churches. Satan used people and anything he could to hinder Paul and always hinders Gods people and Gods Churches, but Christ said that the gates of hell would not prevail against HIS Church or stop Christ from accomplishing what HE wanted to do and Christ knew that HIS adversary, Satan would hinder HIM but could not stop HIM or HIS Church.
Christ would succeed and so will we, those that belong to HIM. But we will and should expect resistance from Satan and his demons that work through other people to hurt us and will at times prevent us from getting from A to B, but God can get us there and anywhere else HE wants us to be. As the Bible says, we are cast down but not destroyed. And what Christ began in us HE will bring it to pass. Praise God.
So cheer up because God will get us where He wants us to be. Be happy in your now in this moment, in this second and take a deep breath and know all is well, because it is. Don't look at the storms of life, instead look at seeing God and all that you love is in a safe place and we just have to catch up with it. And we will one day on that Perfect Eternal Day.
ST. Paul said, that we are already hidden in Christ in the Heavens right now, in this very second and we will catch up when God plays that last Trump Card and everything and every hand has to fold.
Some people are an imitator of what is good to use to their advantage just like Satan does. They are so convincing that you would believe them over the true facts because they are so mesmerizing and it is a shame that they can destroy lives without blinking an eye. But it will catch up with them one day, as God says, That what ever you sow you will reap. In other words what goes around will come around, good or evil. And there are others that have serious mental issues that want to use people and take from them.
They actually help Satan hinder Gods people to destroy them.
Because they covet just like Satan coveted God. Satan seems like he may be almost a carbon copy of Christ because he was the covering of the Godhead. What does that mean? It means he was the protector of the Godhead, a covering, to cover, and was suppose to take the first bullet, in a sense, to protect Them from harm and it is possible he could look like them to fool any enemy so the enemy would think that they were really attacking the true Godhead instead of Satan. But he is an Eternal being and cannot die and it was the highest position in Heaven for anyone to hold and now he uses that ability against God to deceive all who he can because he wants all the worship and glory and Christ became the defender for us instead.
But Cain was, it seems, a real possibility that he was an almost carbon copy of Christ according to Eve.
That is what Christ meant when HE said that Satan was a murderer from the beginning and it would eventually cause Christ to give up HIS own life to protect what Satan was suppose to protect. Of course there is much more to this in my book (The Godhead).
Do you get it? People wanted Christ to fail. Look how they all surrounded the cross mocking HIM and all the horrible ordeal HE went through before being nailed to the cross. These people above have the same mentality but you will never see it at first site.
But only for so long and then Satan peeks out through them and looks you square in the face to let you know you are being targeted. But I have learned to just look back at him and remind him of his fiery Eternal vacation he has coming to him very soon for him and all his cohorts without saying it out loud but he hears me and so do they. I may say it out loud in the privacy of my own home but I learned that no one has privacy any more not with snoops living around you.
Because not to long ago Satan had me spinning in circles and saying things about certain people that hurt me and would not help me that could have helped and who I caught having a listening device to listen in on me and I lashed out in the privacy of my own home saying horrible things from being hurt for not being able to do anything about it. Things that I regret now but I learned to not ever let that happen to me again. I just react and face the issue and if it gets solved that is OK and if it doesn't that is OK too. So I am much happier.
But I still have a bad day like everyone else. And I am working through my own Spiritual life and I also realize when things are right in me and I am not blaming others for things that happen to me, life around me becomes better. God already sees everything that is going on in this life to each of us.
In other words GOD cushions the lumps and falls and disappointments we all go through in this life when we are fully yielded to HIM. But sometimes we will miss the mark and that is ok. The most important thing in life is to stay on the yellow brick road that leads to God not the wizard of oz and we all veer from that road and need help getting back on it. That is where the church comes in to help us stay on the straight and narrow. That is where we will receive our strength and comfort.
I don't care about the storms anymore because I know that Christ is in the boat with me and if it sinks I am not going down alone because HE is forever with me and I will fear nothing.
I thank God that I like myself enough that I do not need any praise from anyone else to lift my spirits up because I lift them up myself through knowing Christ and feeling HIS LOVE for me. He lifts me up, HE puts HIS joy in my heart and HE gives me HIS songs in the night. And also a few TV Preachers and Priests, both Catholic and other true Faiths that are true servants of God that bless me. We all have our favorites.
Of course giving and receiving love is good for your health and emotional well being. God intended it to be that way. That is why we need the Church, where we can share love. The love of God as well as feel his love through HIS people and healthy relationships.
We pray for those who have been affected and hurt by Satan's evil ones, that ALMIGHTY GOD will heal them. And we pray for justice as well as balanced with mercy for all people.
And there is one thing I learned and that is: you can't always fix everything. That is just the way it is. But this I know also, and that is, GOD has our backs, and all those who put their trust in HIM. And HE can see what lie's ahead and has the perfect ending planned for us in spite of how things look right now.
Most of us will have some kind of similar problem in life to deal with and if you made a mistake in this life don't let that stop you from exposing Satan and his seed. Because everyone makes mistakes and if we own up to them and do whatever is necessary to make it right and ask for Gods forgiveness then you have done all that you can do. And Satan has no hold on you or his seed. Don't expect a break from Satan or his people. He is not going to give it to you and neither are they.
But only God can open a door for you that no man can shut. And close a door to them that no man can open. Amen.
We all have a glass that is half empty and half full and it is what we do with the glass that is half full that counts and learn from the glass that is half empty. Because that's the part Satan will use against us, that gives him access to us and our emotions etc. So what does God tell us? That the glass half empty is also the part that is deceitfully wicked. And we have to learn to keep it under control by walking in the Spirit of Christ and with (The whole Godhead), and not let the past mistakes win out. Because all of us have made them and no one is exempt from the highest authority to the lowest authority to the littlest of people on this earth.
There is good, and bad and even a little ugly in all of us and if you haven't seen it yet, it is because it hasn't surfaced yet, but it's still there. And it is mathematically impossible for the glass that is half empty to not get us to NOT do wrong and act wrong. In other words we will act and do wrong in this life even when we don't want to, that is what ST. Paul was telling us and he called it (sin working in our members). It has a mind of it's own and will act out. But God and HIS Spirit also has a mind of its own that acts out and that is the mind of CHRIST that lives inside each Christian.
That is why Christ wants us to walk in the Spirit, in other words to stay focused on Christ and HIS words and not on our own heart and desires. Because that will bring us LIFE and peace. But ignoring Christ will bring us death. It's not the sin that will cause us death.
It is not loving Christ and realizing what HIS words say and mean that will cause us death. He wants us to hate sin and walk with HIM through this life and beyond. And come to HIM for help because HE already knows we are all flawed. He said in HIS word in the book of ISAIAH. That the heart is deceitfully wicked and who can know it?
That is why relationships fail because people expect just the good in people and when the bad and ugly happens they can't handle it. People have to grow their emotions to handle what they can.
Because even as God Himself said that we are corrupt and need HIM to fix us and help us through this life. And HE will. We have to trust HIM, because HE is not corrupt. And HIS (not corrupt) will replace (our corrupt) that will give us Eternal Life and get us into our new bodies one day soon, and allow us to stand and bow before HIS HOLY PRESENCE.
It would take what Christ did on the cross to be able to activate the Holy Spirit that makes us new again. Like He said, He must leave and go back to the Father in order for the Holy Spirit also called the Comforter to come and be activated in us and begin creating that New Man in us and guide us into all Truth for those that belong to Christ. Christ enabled life back to us that Satan took away from us. But we would still be left with a corruptible body. But that is only temporary until Christ comes back and the Bible says in a twinkling of an eye we will be Transformed into our New Immortal sinless Bodies' Oh Praise God!!! Oh what a day that will be. Amen. Gods words mean everything, they give us Life and are True and Just.
It's Gods words that hold everything together and they far outweigh the ground below our feet that we trust will hold us up. But it's His words that will save us or dam us and also hold us up. God did not violate any of His laws, man did. But God Checkmated Satan by giving up His own Son for us. That is why it says in REVELATION that only He (Christ) is Worthy, because He saved Gods Throne and us for ever!!! AMEN!
God can never be outsmarted and He knew that only Christ could prevail and was and is the most Humble Entity in all of Eternity and is the fulfiller of all of Gods Words, because they are ONE. The HOLY Trinity, God the Father, God the Word, who is also God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, they have One Soul and One Mind that is never in opposition to one another and never can be, that is why God will always be HOLY, JUST, and RIGHTEOUS and He wants that same oneness with us and only those who really know Him will want that oneness too. Our prayer to you is that you will want to love Him more than your next breath and experience that oneness with Him and trust and obey Him in spite of your own shortcomings, and as His words say: I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God, and they will be my people. Praise be to His Holy name now and forevermore AMEN. To find out about our mission of faith and more of what we believe go to (Our Faith link) at the top of page .
