A Straight And Narrow Road

Mathew 7:13

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way (road) that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.

But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) (small) compressed that leads away to life, and “ONLY” few are those who find it.

I’m writing this letter to be sure that you are on the right road.

If something terrible happened and you were to die, do you know for certain that you would go to Heaven? Did you know that in the United States that 2,400,000 people die every year? Many people purchase life insurance so that their family will be taken care of if they were to die suddenly, yet few people take the time to find out where they are going to “spend eternity” when they die. Don’t wait until it’s too late to make sure you are ready.

The Bible gives us God’s plan for going to Heaven:

Jesus came to earth as a man and lived 33 years then he died on the cross for you taking ALL your sins (that separate you from God) upon himself.

He took your guilt so you don’t have to be guilty anymore!

John 3:15-18

Jesus came in order that everyone who believes in Him who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him may not perish, but have eternal life and actually live forever!

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten unique Son, so that whoever believes in trusts in, clings to, relies on Him shall not perish come to destruction, be lost but have eternal everlasting life.

For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

He who believes in Him who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him is not judged he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation; but he who does not believe cleave to, rely on, trust in Him is judged already he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God (JESUS). He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.

The Bible teaches that God will punish sinners with death. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". This death is an eternal painful suffering with no relief. God has reserved a place for sinners that is separate from Heaven. That place is called Hell. Few people want to hear about Hell.

Psalm 25:4-5

This means that if you die without trusting in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will die in your sins and be forever separated from the love of God in a place called Hell. The Holy Bible describes Hell as a place of eternal torment, suffering, pain and agony for all those who have rejected Jesus Christ. The good news is that you can avoid Hell by allowing Jesus Christ to save you today. Only then will you have true peace in your life knowing that no matter what happens you are on your way to Heaven.

John 14:1-6

DO NOT let your hearts be troubled distressed, agitated. You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

In My Father's house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

And [to the place] where I am going, you know the way.

Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?

Jesus said “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by through Me.”

Psalm 25:4-5

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.”

So today REPENT and ask JESUS CHRIST to come into your heart & save you and you will have “eternal life” in “Heaven”.

For this is the straight & narrow road, now walk therein.

If you complain you remain

Complain means to remain or to stay overnight.

Complaining opens the door to the evil one to come in. If you complain you are suppressing anger & you will live an angry lifestyle. If you walk in love you will live a love lifestyle.

Hard times put a demand on God’s word, power, & presents to manifest in your life. How should we talk during trials? Speak the word of God & what his word (only truth) says’ about our life.

God’s word isn’t moved or changed by what YOU’RE going through. It works no matter what you’re going through. Apply the word to your situation. You have the title deed to the power of God.

Mark 11: 23 & 24

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe trust and be confident that it is granted to you, and you will get it.

You find out what you are made of in hard times.

The roar of the lion can be so loud you can’t hear the voice of truth. And when you don’t hear the voice of truth this is when complaining becomes easy.

When trials come you learn more about yourself by listening to the words you speak out of your mouth.

For what you believe in your heart you will say with your mouth. The attitude of the heart & the confession of the mouth is where your faith is. Faith is where you want to be, lay a firm foundation of hope then build your faith. For some this is “Progressive Faith”

Trials of life are test & if you don’t pass the test you will get to take it again. We don’t really know who we trust in (believe) until we are tested.

You can be a diamond in the rough (coal), but it’s not until you are under pressure that will turn you into a diamond.

The wilderness is where you grow; it is where you are all alone with God.

This is where Jesus had to develop just like we do. The words Jesus prayed (spoke out) in the desert is where he received the “grace & anointing” to carry out the will of God. We all need to be just like Jesus, mold me Lord into your image.

Your words will frame your life. So think on these things whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy-keep thinking about these things.

Guard your mouth with complaining & God’s word (truth) will set you free!

God Does Not Change, We Do

God (Jesus Christ) does NOT change! The “Word” of God is the true Word!
"NEW DATA" other than the Word of God is a false doctrine.

People do change; they choose to believe other (new data) beliefs to fit their own lifestyle. People make changes (believing new data) to replace any convictions they would have, this is wrong thinking.

We need to execute the “Word of God” in our lives, the true Word that will always be. Some “new data” come & go, but Gods Word will live forever.

Execution of the Word of God will bring forth positive results.

I believe there is an area of complacency with most believers today. This is an area of comfort, of living out the life that fits your convictions & it becomes a comfort zone.

Most people would believe in something that has little, or NO substance to it. This thinking is a belief that will place you in the arena of no consequences, (but there will be consequences) and will allow you to live out your life freely & without any regard to the truth. The bible says,

“And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free”.

God has not evolved, grown or improved: All that He is today, He has ever been, and ever will be. "I am the Lord, I change not"

The Bible describes God as unchangeable, eternal, immutable always existing. Whatever he reveals of himself as is eternal. All his attributes are eternal, as they flow from his infinite nature whose essence is also eternal, unchangeable.

When someone changes his/her mind, it is often because new information has come to light that was not previously known, or the circumstances have changed that require a different kind of attitude or action. Because God is omniscient, He cannot learn something new that He did not already know. So, when the Bible speaks of God changing His mind, it must be understood that the circumstance or situation has changed, not God. So when Exodus 32:14 and 1 Samuel 15:11-29 talk about God changing His mind, it is simply describing a change of dispensation, and outward dealings, toward man.Numbers 23:19 is very clear, “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” No, God does not change His mind. These verses affirm the doctrine of God’s immutability: He is unchanging and unchangeable.

We all will embrace a belief in our life & most will pick & choose whatever is comfortable to them and as influences can distort the truth of who God is.

So the “NEW DATA” that some will embrace will cause some to turn from the true & only real God.

The Word says; you will know the truth & the truth will set you free!

New data will come & go but God & his Word will never change.

Here is “data” (the truth) that was from the beginning & will be throughout eternity.

If thou seek him, he will be found of thee.1 Chronicles 28:9

Your heart shall live that seek God.Psalm 69:32

Seek ye me, and ye shall live.Amos 5:4

The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him.Ezra 8:22

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking reverently and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened.
Mathew 7 & 8

God bless you & show himself to you as you start on this journey of knowing Him (God) the true “DATA”.

Judge, Criticize and Condemn

Matthew 7:1
DO NOT judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.

1Cor. 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints [the saved; Christians] will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

Prov. 3:21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Jer. 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness...

Phil. 1:10 So that you may be able to discern [judge] what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ...

Phil. 1:7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you [judge you]...

Matt 7:1 seems to support the allusion that we are not to judge at all if we use small-vision tactics by focusing on only that small piece of the total of what Jesus was saying.

Look at John 7:24. There, Jesus tells us to judge, but to do so righteously. Righteously means to use the Truth of the Word to discern sins and not by appearances only.

1Cor. 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints (the believers) will [one day] judge and govern the world? And if the world [itself] is to be judged and ruled by you, are you unworthy and incompetent to try [such petty matters] of the smallest courts of justice?

Do you not know also that we [Christians] are to judge the [very] angels and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them]? How much more then [as to] matters pertaining to this world and of this life only!


As a Christian so many times I here others judging instead of Loving them---Most push one down further when they already feel they are at the bottom looking up, They push them down and have the attitude of you knew better, or you brought this one on yourself, or you just need to make better decisions. Or this time maybe you will learn your lesson!

We have all been there at sometime in our life. I feel there is a fine line between judging as “God” said we would, and just judging them to make our own self look better. Instead I believe the greatest act we could do is to “LOVE” them! This is the walk we should all practice for this is the greatest walk of all! As one church I have attended before says; Love the Hell out of them!

I know if it had not been for the Lord on my side I would be saying; where would I be without the Lord? He has kept me, he has protected me, he has always been there for me, he has been my rock, my provider, my comforter, my healer, my…… the list goes on!

So if we want the “Blessing” the “Benefits” from God we must choose to follow the ways of God, living a lifestyle pleasing unto him & this will bring “Glory” to him & the “Christ” lifestyle to us.

Take a Few Minutes of Your Time

You can take a few minutes of your time & this could help to change your life! I have taken the time to put this all together for you so it can help you & I pray it does!

I will be the first to say I don’t know it all but I DO KNOW THE ONE THAT DOES KNOW IT ALL & YOU CAN MAKE IT! IN JESUS NAME!

“Think Spiritual Thoughts/Renew Your Mind… A Spiritual Exercise for a Healthier Life”

The key to a healthy thought life is to minimize the negative/unhealthy thinking that we have and the corresponding negative emotions and have more positive thinking which will lead to having more positive emotions. Take another look at the scriptures above to be reminded of the Biblical approach and benefit of this spiritual exercise.

Christians can ask God to help them through the power His Holy Spirit provides. He can help you change your thought life. Know that your true identity is in Jesus Christ, not in what others may have told you or what the Devil may be trying to tell you through his lies. A person who does not have a relationship with Jesus can practice the same behavior mentioned below, but according to scripture (John 14:17) he does not have the benefit of help from God’s Spirit.

Do you dwell on past hurts and pains? Is the deep resentment you keep towards another person eating at you deep in your heart? Do memories of past negative events float up into your mind frequently? Make a conscious choice to forgive that person and/or let go of that past hurt and give it to God and ask Him to take it, along with the associated emotional pain. Replace these negative thoughts with thoughts that are spiritual, pure and positive.

"Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.”

Be deliberate in your decision to monitor your thinking. Monitor what you put into your mind. What kind of music do you listen to? Are the TV shows you watch healthy for you? What do you read? Are the internet sites you frequent consistent with your desire to have spiritually healthy thoughts? When we fill our minds with messages that are ‘unhealthy,’ by what we read and listen to, it influences what we will think about. The more you read the Bible and understand and believe the truths you find there, the easier it will be to renew your mind and to think on spiritual and ‘healthy’ thoughts. According to knowing God and His truths better is the first key in living an abundant & healthy life.

"I find that unsuccessful attempts at changing thought patterns result from an unwillingness to change them. We enjoy our misery or woundedness or lustfulness or pride more than we desire Godliness. Unless our motivation is to please God, our attempts at thought control will have limited success. “The Holy Spirit empowers our change process when we are truly repentant and wanting His control.”

As you renew your mind by thinking more about God and His nature and truth and less about untruths and negative thoughts it will likely improve your day-to-day attitude and corresponding emotions as well as your disposition on life. This then may well impact in a positive way on your emotional and physical health.

I’m not sure most of us really recognize the importance of our thought life and the impact that it has on our emotions and our bodies. One of the most important spiritual exercises that we can put into practice for improved health is to monitor our thought life and to adjust our thinking so that it is ‘healthy’ or spiritual. By doing this and by incorporating the practice of renewing our minds, many people could enjoy improved emotional and physical.

Here is a very brief summary of how our thoughts affect our bodies. For every event in our life, we quickly apply the filters of our beliefs and attitudes, which are based on our life experiences, and then we have automatic thoughts. Our thoughts lead us quickly to emotions and from that our body reacts. Our brain secretes chemicals called neuropeptides and other glands of our body release hormones. Positive emotions cause our body to release helpful chemicals. Negative emotions cause the release of harmful chemicals.

“Understand the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection That Can Heal or Destroy You”

"When people who have discovered that once they made a sincere effort to tackle their dysfunctional thought patterns, they had fewer bouts of depression, anxiety, anger, grief, shame, jealousy, and all other toxic emotions. It isn't difficult to replace lies with God's truth. It just takes intentional and consistent effort... It takes the time and energy to find statements of God's truth and apply them to life's lies. Jesus promised, "If you abide in my Word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32). We are reminded of the importance of dwelling on positive thoughts.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Philippians 4:8)

In the book of Romans, Paul urges us to change the way we think because it can transform us. “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2)

Finally, the writer of Proverbs 14:30 says,

“A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.” The effect of thinking thoughts that are positive can lead to a heart at peace, which is good for the body.

It Takes Only One Drop

It only takes one drop of the “blood of Jesus” in this insane world we live in that can produce Love, Peace, Joy deliverance, healing, whatever you need.

The more of “Jesus” we have determines the degree of the “Delegated Power” that is in our personal lives. Don’t be deceived with the insanity of this world.

Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Transformation means getting our “hearts” & heads changed. Christian faith is a specific response of our “Hearts” minds and bodies to the appearance of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

It is getting Christ into our “hearts” & heads. In practical terms this means bringing our beliefs, opinions, patterns, attitudes to conscious awareness so that we may receive a new perspective that creates new possibilities, so that we may be renamed, reshaped, and redirected “reborn”. Becoming a “new” creature in “Christ Jesus”!

Unfortunately, once you are born again absolutely nothing will change in your life unless you begin the process of renewing your mind, or changing the way your mind operates.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove to be what is good and acceptable and perfect in the will of God." "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you".


Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.

So “remember”: It only takes one drop of the “blood of Jesus” in this insane world we live in that can produce Love, Peace, Joy deliverance, healing, whatever you need.

Gratitude

Gratitude

"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."
-Eric Hoffer

According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher. After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.

Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container. The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"

The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of living-kindness and nothing could be sweeter."

Self-motivation without gratitude is impossible. Our energy is "sapped" when our entire focus is on what's wrong instead of what is right with our lives. One of our greatest challenges is to live and love in spite of pain and disappointment...to find gratitude in the midst of it all.

Reflect for a moment on this beautiful quote from Melody Beattie:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

God-Minded Love

The Love we have will cause us to stick together!

The Love from our Heavenly Father will never change ~~~ For it goes beyond our human understanding & reaches beyond race, color, religion, and last throughout eternity!

If we can come to Jesus as a little child with such simple Faith then he will meet us just where were at and extend his Grace, Love, & help us to become more like him as we are on this road of life!

AT LAST!

AT LAST, MY LOVE WE WILL LET OUR LOVE SHINE…..

THE EARLY TIME IN OUR YOUTH DID ELAPSE…..

LIFE’S EARLY HOUR IS IN THE PAST........

BUT OUR LOVE WE MOURN NO MORE FOR THOSE YEARS;

FOR THIS BLESSED HOUR ATONES FOR ALL THOSE YEARS!

OUR LOVE HAS COME OUR WAY AGAIN, AT LAST……

WE WILL LIVE TOGEATHER FOR THE FUTURE, AND NOT THE PAST…….

FOR THIS IS A BLESSING FROM OUR GOD UP ABOVE……

TO LIVE AND BRING GLORY TO HIS SON!

FOR JESUS IS THE LORD OF OUR LIFE, AND NOW, WE CAN LOVE, AT LAST!

Burn For Jesus

We are the army of Christ Jesus and we are at war!

Most people today have “the plague of entertainment”

This is where we are more consumed with an entertainment lifestyle than being consumed with the “Glory of God” And basking in His “Presence”.

This is a very dangerous place to live, and this is the tool satan uses. For the deceptions of this world can come in and consume our thinking, our time, our money, and most of all pulls us away from that very place of serving God!

We all need to get out of our comfort zone and become on fire and burn for Jesus.

Deuteronomy 4:24

For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Has the fire gone out in your life? We should have the demonstration of the power of God in our lives.

We should not be afraid, or be ashamed. We need to stir up what is inside of us. “Kindle the flame.”

If we become complacent and are no longer on fire we will then be in the smoke. In the natural smoke kills! In the spirit it also kills.

Are you living wrong? Get right! If you don’t get right you will get “left” behind.

2 Corinthians 7:1

THEREFORE, SINCE these [great] promises are ours, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles body and spirit, and bring [our] consecration to completeness in the [reverential] fear of God.

Acts 2:1-4

AND WHEN the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,

When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.

And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words].

So my challenge today is, stir yourself up in the “Holy Ghost” become on fire for Jesus and “burn” for him. Let there be a burning within that no man can put out. And let the fire (light) within you put out (pierce through) the darkness in the world. Become an all consuming fire for Jesus so that many will come into the saving (knowledge) grace of the almighty God!

Now this is the will of God in Christ Jesus!

The more clearly we understand our own life, the more clearly we will own our own destiny!

As we look clearly at our life with the understanding of where we’re at and take charge of our own destiny with the power of the cross!

We have a “franchise” to own our “Will”~~~~~We have a heavenly Father who is the “Corporation” who has designed the rules for us to follow~~~if we do follow the rules we have ‘benefits”. If we don’t follow the rules we are cursed with a curse & have no benefits.

To say it again:
We have “Title Deed” “Ownership” to our own life to choice today to follow in the way God designed our lives to go.

To walk in his ways are to bring the “blessings” into our life and to have the peace, & Joy of God ruling & reigning within.

Jesus holds my hand in 2009!

January 3, 2009

As we say good-bye to 2008, let us not carry regrets forward,
let us not dwell on "what could have been,"
let us not project ourselves into 2009 with "what ifs."

Let us place ourselves in the Hands of God, holding to
the Promise of His Everlasting Love.

No matter what 2009 holds, we know Who holds us.
Let us hold to 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given me
the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Do not let satan rob us of our Joy! Each time he
rears his ugly head, face him and say,
"...for I know Whom I have believed, and
am persuaded that He is able to keep
that which I have committed unto
Him against that day."~~~2 Timothy 1:12

So come on 2009! I will follow my Jesus, wherever He Leads.
He will give me Strength, and Courage to KEEP ON GOING.

UNTIL HE COMES IN THE CLOUDS OF GLORY!

LOVE & PRAYERS!

I CANNOT PRAY

I cannot pray "OUR," if my faith has no room
for others and their need.

I cannot pray "FATHER," if I do not demonstrate
this relationship to God in my daily living.

I cannot pray "WHO ART IN HEAVEN," if all of my
interests and pursuits are in earthly things.

I cannot pray "HALLOWED BE THY NAME," if I am
not striving for God's help to be holy.

I cannot pray "THY KINGDOM COME," if I am
unwilling to accept God's rule in my life.

I cannot pray "THY WILL BE DONE," if I am
unwilling or resentful of having it in my life.

I cannot pray "IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,"
unless I am truly ready to give myself to God's
service here and now.

I cannot pray "GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY
BREAD," without expending honest effort for it
or if I would withhold from my neighbor the
bread I receive.

I cannot pray "FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE
FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US," if I
continue to harbor a grudge against anyone.

I cannot pray "LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION," if
I deliberately choose to remain in a situation
where I am likely to be tempted.

I cannot pray "DELIVER US FROM EVIL," if I am
not prepared to fight with my life and my
prayer.

I cannot pray "THINE IS THE KINGDOM," if I am
unwilling to obey the King.

I cannot pray "THINE IS THE POWER AND THE
GLORY," if I am seeking power for myself and my
own glory first.

I cannot pray 'FOREVER AND EVER," if I am too
anxious about each day's affairs.

I cannot pray "AMEN," unless I honestly say
"Not MY will, but THY will be done, so let it
be.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as
the heathen do: for they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye
therefore like unto them: for your heavenly
Father knoweth what things ye have need of
before ye ask Him. Matthew 6:7-8

HEAVEN

So this is our “Hope”, our “Faith”, in our Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven is sounding sweeter everyday!

Do you feel like you can hardly wait? Are you excited? What a glorious day it will be when my Jesus I shall see!

Heaven!!! What a wonderful word. When the word "heaven" is spoken or read, many wonderful images come to mind. Streets of gold, imposing walls, glorious homes for each of God's people, all in a city of fantastic light. No more tears, pain, sorrow or death.

But we know that heaven is much more than a place to spend eternity. It is also the place where God and Jesus Christ the Lamb live. Where we don't have to see darkly as through a smoked glass, but where we can see our Lord and Redeemer face to face. He promises that forever, "They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God." (Rev. 21:3) What a fabulous promise!

In Matt. 6:33 Jesus says, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Jacob dreams of a ladder to heaven

Gen. 28:11 When [Jacob] reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."

Who may dwell with God?

Ps. 15:1~~~

LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?

He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things will never be shaken.

Isa. 35:1~~~~

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy.

Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.

The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs.

In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness.

The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that

Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.

No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there.

But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD will return.

They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Isa. 66:1 This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.

"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.

And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Jesus Faith was in God the Father, as Jesus went about doing the will of the Father God in Healing, Deliverance, & teaching Only one way to the Father God is in & through him. (The greatest act of Faith (AND LOVE) was when Jesus died on the cross believing (knowing) he would rise from the dead on the third day.)

Abraham introduced himself as:

“The Father of many while at that time (17 YEARS) he had NO CHILDREN”
(Abraham believed & trusted God that what he had promised he would bring to pass.)

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had faith:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it”. (Their Faith in God was so that if they died in the fire, they would die serving God & not bowing down to any other God.) And when they came out of the fire (alive) they didn’t even smell like smoke!

Noah was 480 years old when God told him to build an Ark and 600 (120 years trusting God) when the Flood came, Noah had never seen rain so he trusted God for something he didn’t even know existed! (Most Christians don’t have the patience or “Faith” to wait 120 years for the manifestation of what they are believing for).

David & Goliath:

David said, The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear; He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. (David was the most unlikely to succeed being the youngest & the smallest, but he was going in the Power & Defense of the Almighty God)

Moses:

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." (Over 3 million wanted to turn back to bandage when they saw the red sea) (Moses still trusted God (Faith. Then while receiving the 10 commandments Moses still trusted God by Faith.)

Daniel:

Prayer was what Daniel knew. Daniel had a made up mind and an extraordinary spirit of excellence. Daniel was a prayer warrior & he would kneel (on his knees) to pray 3 times a day & prayed & give thanks to his God. Daniel had the favor of God on his life. Daniel had a relationship with God.

Hebrews 11

By Faith We Understand

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

The Heavenly Hope

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland (Heaven). And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” Concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.

By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as [though] on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed (drowned) up by the sea.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.

In the Old Testament, in Joshua chapter 6, we have an account of the Israelites defeating the city of Jericho when they came into the Promised Land after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. According to the biblical account, after the Israelites marched around the city once a day for six days, on the seventh day they encircled the city seven times. On the seventh time around, the priests blew the trumpets, the people shouted and the walls fell flat. The story in the Bible goes on to say that when the walls collapsed, the Israelites stormed the city and set it on fire. Archaeologists found evidence for a massive destruction by fire just as the Bible relates.

By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned; they were sawn in two, were tempted, and were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

And all these, though they won divine approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, having obtained a good testimony through faith. Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them].

I AM YOUR BRIDE

Diana Houk
September 26, 2008

Passion fills my heart for you my precious love,

when you died for me upon the cross, a gift from God above.

Oh the agony you suffered to set my soul free,

from sin & sickness, and judgment, when you died upon that tree.

A sudden burst of glory when you came up from the grave,

you paid the ransom for my soul with your blood, defeating sickness & the grave.

So as I die each day to my flesh (soul) I will keep myself as your bride.

For you are the one I long for, for you are my guide.

The spirit of God I’ll always embrace, as you prepare me to Run the race.

I long for that day when “LOVE” has finished this race & I’ll spend “eternity” with you as we embrace.

Until that day I will trust you in all my ways.

For this is new day I share it with few, but you are here with me a fresh and a new.

You hold my life in your hands so I know I’m complete in your love.

For you are the potter & I am the clay, so today I say I am yours to keep~~~use me as a vessel that many will see &know you are the “Love”, I am just the clay.

So as you fill my life with your presence today I give myself to you as a “Present” to embrace.

I have finished the race set before me & now I will ever be with the one I Love for eternity.
