Looking Through The Fog

I am looking through Foggy glasses and I can not get a world's view.  I am trying to see things better, what can I do.


Being swept aside and left all alone.  Today I have paid my debt to society and I can come home.



I have paid my debt to society and all that I have hurted. I want to feel relief without being exerted.



I have been in bondage so long that I can not remember the day, that I lived a good life in society the Godly way.


I was caught up in sin and could not find my way out. I prayed and prayed to the Lord with out fear or doubt.


Getting back into society I must learn over again.  The person I can call on is my Lord, God in whom I can depend.



Looking Through The Fog.

Keeping Silent

Can we keep silent when our heart has been broken, can we keep silent when there is so much pain?

Can we keep silent - when there is really nothing to gain?


The world around us says, "Take the good with the bad." How can we keep on standing when our heart is so sad?


Weeping endure for the night and joy is in the next day. Can we hold out any longer - when our strength seem so far away?


Where can we go to be free from sadness, where can we go to be free from the pain?

In the word of God, we must have the faith to maintain.


God ask, "Why do you worry, why do you cry? When you call on the name of Jesus I am always standing by.


Lean on me when you'll in trouble, lean on me when you'll about to fall.  When I came down from heaven I lifted up you all.


I am reaching out to give you health and strength, what I need you to do is say, "You are sorry before you repent."


 Can We Keep Silent?

A Newness Of Life

John 3:16,17


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him"


**The only way that we could have a newness of life is by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ. He hung, bleed and died on Calvary just for you and me.

**Jesus was hung up on the cross for our hang ups in sin. Oh what a miraculous day it was for one human to stand in for other humans - so that we could  have life and have it more abundantly. We are not worthy of his crucifixion, but because of his love, mercy and grace for us God sent His only son to give his life for ours.


Lets continue to walk in the newness of life through Jesus Christ.


Until we meet again - soon.

God Knows The Way

Today, I know that the sweet Lord will make a way. There is so much sickness, sorrow and pain. In the world do we have anything to gain?


I asked our Master why are we tested. His answer was, "Everyone goes through trials and tribulations after they have rested."


I don't know why life is not like it use to be. Jesus said, "You will be blessed if you come and follow me."


On this daily journey I can only do my best. If I fall down on my knees will I have any rest?


It's a long journey and the river is flowing upstream. I called out to my Master with no self esteem.


I want to know you better, I want to know your glory. Is there any hope in a biblical story?


Talk to me and walk with me. Tell me what you want me to do. I want to get to the place when I can really trust you.


I am not questioning your will or your way.  Tell me in a soft voice, since I have come so far, I am ok.


Increase my faith and increase my strength. Help me to hold on to your Heavenly hands, until I repent.

God Reveals His Will To Us

·                                

     (From The Minister's Heart)

 

G    God reveals His utmost will/desire to us by telling us what He want us to do. I am learning that if I keep my mind stayed on Him through it all, and travel as the March wind in my calling He will carry me through His storms. 

 

The problems/cares I cast on Him is His to handle. I am leaving all consequences to Him so that He can do what He does best and that is "Taking Care Of Me/Us.    

L

LLet's continue in God's Will - until we meet again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Made Up Mind

(Sermon I brought on Sunday, March 18, 12)


Psalm 51:1-14,17

A song from David, son of Jessee and King of Israel, to God after he sinned with Bathsheba.


He asked God to have mercy on him and wash him thoroughly from his sins because they were many. He knew that God was the only one he had sinned against.

David's explanation to God was that he was born in sin and shaped in iniquity. When God washes and clean us up in His blood we will not do those things that we use to do.

There is no justification for premeditated and continual sin; but God is just and faithful to forgive us from all our trespasses, if we just ask Him. David realized he needed a clean heart and a right spirit within in order to be in God's will.


Let's continue to have a Made Up Mind to serve the Lord.


Until we meet again - soon.

  

Just A Few Moments

(Thought: A Few Moments)

What can I give you Lord for just a few moments? What can I give - just to have you near?

Tell me I don’t have to worry; I don’t even have to fret - because you are always here.

I look to you Lord, I look to you - when my strength is gone, and things seem to go wrong, I must look to you - in all I say and do.

What shall I render unto you Lord for all the benefits you have given me, for at times from the word of God I wanted to flee?  

Help me to continue to pray, bow and stay on my knee. You said in your word, “You will always be with me.”

From the rising of the sun unto it’s going down.  Through fret and fear you are still in my heart to be found.

This is a wonderful day that you have created and gave. Sometimes I wonder in my spirit if I am still saved.       

You said, “The thought of foolishness is sin.  The fearful thought of tomorrow is there any hope for a blessed end?”

Bless me Lord deep down in my soul, because I want to stand on the word of God as your prophets in the days of old.

Just a few moments Lord, just a few moments to have you near.

Built Up In Prayer

(Bible Class taught by me, 3-14-12)



II Chronicles 11-22


(Solomon, the wisest man during and before his life time. Only asked for wisdom to lead his people).

After Solomon finished building the Lord's house, and then his', the Lord appeared to him in a dream.
Telling him He had chosen that place to worship in. God said, "He could shut up heaven or command diseases to cover the land." The only requirement He had of us, the people is to:

Humble ourselves and pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked says: then He will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal the land.

God has chosen and sanctified our churches, so that His name will be with us for ever, as His Holy Spirit is.

The Pastor of a church, God says, " Must do what God ask; obey His statues and judgments, then the his children down through the generations will be blessed."

If we turn to worship other gods, then God will cast the church out of His sight. It will not be blessed; it will be cursed. God says, "He is a jealous God and we shall have no other gods before, or besides Him;" Deuteronomy 5:7.

**HUMBLING OURSELVES THROUGH PRAYER IS THE BEST WAY TO HAVE OPEN COMMUNICATION AND KEEP IN CONTACT WITH HIS WILL AND WAYS.


Let's continue to be built up in prayer - until we meet again soon.

A Troubled Heart/Matters Of The Heart

Sermon delivered by me, Sunday, 3-11-12



John 14:1-5


Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

God tells us  not to worry about anything because He has our back. He will take care of us.  Why do we worry so much?  He tells us that when we have ran this race, not for ought or nought we will win a crown.  Our reward is: He will  take us to that mansion with many rooms that he has prepared for us. When he returns from heaven he will take us there. Whats in your heart, what are the matters of our heart?  Do we have the love, joy and peace for our fellow man that we should?

Who do we fellowship with, who is in our inner circle?  Do the three that is in our inner circle have the fruits of the spirit?  Is one of them for the Father, one for the son and one for the Holy Spirit? When they come to our door to fellowship with us, what do they bring to our table? Do they cuss and fuss telling us to do what is wrong, or do they have the characteristics of love, joy and peace of the Holy Spirit?

Jesus had three in his inner circle: Peter, James and John. James and John were the sons of Zebedees. One wanted to sit on the right and the other on his left side. They did not understand what they were asking of Jesus. They could not spiritually or rightfully at that time hold the position they asked Jesus for.

Peter, whom Jesus made fisherman of men, always got into trouble by having a high temper and forward mouth. In our inner circle we should have people who love and are willing to help us, not curse us.


When Jesus makes us a promise he will keep it. God says, "before one tilt of His word fails, heaven and earth will pass away. There are two sides to every situation. The other side is that He tells us to keep His commandments so that we and our children will be blessed coming in and going out.



God break every yoke in this Church, in Jesus name.

Jesus, the Prince Of Peace

When problems arises in our life we can call on the Prince of Peace. In our situation He will never cease.


We can say peace be still, because it is in the Almighty's will.


Peace He left with us, because in Him we put all of our trust.


The peace of God passes all our understanding, when we have reached out of self and is soo demanding.


Peace is what we need and the joy of the Lord to suceed.


Follow after peace with all men. During this the rest of our life we will surely win.


Peace is just a five letter word, that many men and women say they never used or heard.



Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

The Lost Of Loved Ones

I know this was, and has been a sensitive subject and I treated it as one. God has put it in my heart to revisit it for the sake of my family, friends and others who loved them dearly. ( revisit of post 3-1-2011)

 A LOVE ONE IS ALWAYS MISSED AND KEPT IN OUR HEART.

Family and friends – we know that everyone grieves in their own way. Many times others are crying inside.  Many times others do all they can to survive. Whatever our situation is it is time to talk to God about it. If we need a human to talk to, the bible tells us to communicate with those who teach us as: our Pastor or Church counselor.

** I lost my brother in 2003 and my sister around this time two years ago. Each death took a great toll on my life. My pastor counseled me so that I could make it through each day. The counseling then, after my sister's death, lasted about one week. After my brother's death in 2003 it seemed as though I would not make it through. God gave my pastor and wife wisdom and knowledge to help me through each time. You see with my brother's death the first link in the chain of siblings was broken - this is why I took his death much harder.

** Christians, God has established his church with others to help us. I will say it like, I think, Paul would, “I urge you to get counseling if you need it."  Never be ashram of it. This is something we need to bring us from our past hurts and pains to the marvelous light.

A well known TV pastor said, "WE MAY NEVER GET OVER IT, BUT WE CAN GET THROUGH IT"



Paul said it best, "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens," II Corinthians 5:1

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord, II Corinthians 5:8.


Let’s remember that, “A love one may leave us outwardly but they are always with us inwardly.”



Until we meet again-soon.

Wisdom Is A Principal Thing

Proverb 4:7,8




Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.


**Godly wisdom is the principal thing; hold onto it. Those who use wisdom to its fullest will find life in its fullest. She will promote you in every area of your life.


God formed man, heaven and earth through His almighty and everlasting wisdom.
Wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy, according to James 3:17.


**Wisdom has all characteristics that the fruits of the Spirit has. It is considerate, have love, and is undefiled.
It is full of mercy and grace as God is.


Out of all of our getting from wisdom, lets continue to get an understanding through it.


Until we meet again - soon.

Starting Our Day

When I rise each morning this is what I do. I talk to the Lord praying for me and you.



He loves for us to speak to him, telling our problems to the almighty is right, rather than to them.



The time is right and the time has come for  me to start the day. I  have many errands so I must run, so I must pray.



I like to listen to the radio, and I love reading word. Something I have never done, only heard.



To start my day I must  boil my tea. It takes only a few minutes, and  as simple as 1, 2, 3.



Add a little sugar and lemon too. Praying over our food is what we should do.




Starting our day.
