Gift you can't miss
I'm a witness and here to tell you. The things of this world can't satisfy the soul. Only love sent from above, can heal whats unseen. Take you out of the dirt and make you whole. Than supply your needs and put you in the place you ought to be.
You can do all the research in the world with tons of Literature, Books, Tapes, Cd's, DVDs and information sources at your disposal. But none of them are worth the material they are made of. Unless they contain the story of past, present and future. inspired by Love, truth and the living Word. You're getting exactly what you pay for. Because money for one; can only buy that which will past. A temporary satisfaction that will not last. Our God is love, A consuming fire, The truth, The Holy Ghost. Who and what we all need the most. None other than the Living Word, also known as Jesus Christ. In whom there is no cost, because he already paid the price. By grace, all can be saved to live this life in a better way. As I choose to live each day with great hope; looking forward to eternity. I press forward to one day see his face and take my place within the heavenly gates. Thanking my God for the sacrifice he made and having my name written in the book of life. A gift given to me without a price.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.) full of grace and truth. John 1: 14
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10: 9-10
IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1: 1-3
For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hebrew 12: 14
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12: 2
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1John 4:8
The Movement
In this movement through life. We experience increase, decrease and release on a regular basis. We see things we allowed and caused. Our very own participation. Even if its not the way we prefer it to be. It is the substance of the you in You or the me and Me.
Than as time moves on. It seems as though we've lived several lives. in many different ways. And all the good times have gone. For some unknown reason we can't find our way back home. Yet deep inside, we know there's some type of spiritual force or war going on. Good and/or evil seems to be the source. Moving at a variety of paces. Slow, steady, or fast. This invisible force seems to last. The physical result, usually leads the average person into saying, "Thank God" or "Thank God that's over". At any rate it all came to past.
The God in me or the God in you is the driver in the things we do and the choices we choose. When we open our heart to what is real and pure. Our life loose some things. But the lost is well worth the gain. Because we now understand. It was never our will, that was important. But all a part of God's eternal plan. What was, no longer seems to be so good. But what is, and going to be.
In this we realize; sliding back is a relapse. And we really don't wanna; go out like that. The war indeed is spiritual. It is not our battle. We're like little sheep, the enemy wants to tear apart. But we belong to God. He wants to save us and change our heart. The battle is his. The war has already been won. His home is our home because we are his kids. God wants us all to abide in him and live.
Therefore we must keep our eyes on the prize. And remember, distraction is a stumbling block; we can get over. And In Christ you'll find real life. Beside him, there is no other.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3: 13-14
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4
But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1: 12-13
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Hebrew 12: 27-28
WHEREFORE, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12: 1
Truth is Truth
(Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth John 17:17)
Rather than share in the lies. As we are sure to recognize the Father of each. Knowing the truth is No matter what you think, say or do. Remember Truth is Truth. Allow it residence inside of you. Because there’s spiritual power. We need in this hour. The Comforter. Sent by the father. Life within the life. Is freely given. There is no price. But the gain of eternal life. As you continue to grow and go through. Remember it’s always there for you to use. It doesn't change. It remains the same. A dependable source of spiritual gain, insight, dignity, value and worth. A reality beyond. Where true peace can be found. Though not always accepted. It can be kept, not always desired. But sure than a liar.
Truth is Truth; and as always it’s up to you to choose.

Reason
But within the family of Christ, there's much, more treasure; beyond measure. Without discrimination or who has more or less. Nor position or religion, but Gods intention. Some are the making of Kings, Prophets, Seers, Teachers, Door Keepers, Trash Collectors and Sweepers. Our Father knows the particulars.
Within the Kingdom of Heaven. The least is greater. The last shall be first. The unseen things contain value and worth. More valuable than the rarest of elements found on earth. As in creation, we too posses attributes of a Divine nature, though we seldom display them. We're all unique and rare with the character and image of an unseen God. But because of sin, the purity of our creation came to an end. Therefore we must be born again. Than, being born of the spirit, we have new description. We're no longer the same, we've been heavenly changed. Our whole view on life is somewhat different. There's new meaning to the way we live. Releasing negativity with increased positivity and better understanding of what's pure and real. Not only that, we also get a true perspective on self awareness and care. Because in Christ there's authentic self examination and profound revelation which paves the way in Divine destination.
Let's therefore make effort. Let's turn it around, where Christ can be found. Not backward living. Where body control mind and mind, control spirit. But in love and forgiveness. Where spirit control mind and mind control body. Obtain new life and rebirth, as you continue to grow in that peculiar, rare person. Known as one of the chosen.
For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22: 14
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also. Matthew 6: 19-21
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Matthew 12: 35
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6: 33
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matthew 13:46

About the kids
Wouldn't you like to see all of our young people in line with the Word of God? I do, and I know a lot of them live a life that's really hard. Some taking all kind of risk as though life is a game or a deck of cards. But they too have the same opportunity and choice. Though their world is a lot different than mine or yours. Some have a perception from eyes that may not have been taught. Dealing with a new wave of crime, peer pressure and intimidation. Some of which, the average adult can't even relate to and though generations change our God remains the same.
I encourage you all to be an example and answer the call. We have a responsibility to pay attention, love and listen to our children. Finance does not take the place of raising a child. It does help to keep them alive; to a point. However there's much need and want, that money can't by.
Some, being born in the midst of turmoil, may not even see the difference between abnormal and normal, or right and wrong. Because they haven't experience the comfort, love, peace, hope or joy some have already found.
As Christians we know there is a better life. We know many have made sacrifices. The greatest one, by Jesus Christ. Yet so many people are participating in the destruction of our youth. Including some so called; Christians acting like they have no clue as to, what to do. Knowing the Word says; raise up a child in the way to go. Something any responsible person should know.
Of course some of us are; or have been a victim of what many suffer. Including me. I've suffered from child abuse, spousal abuse, racial abuse, being used and falsely accused, which is only a part. I've also caused some damage. So its not that hard to see the need.
Being a previous victim; I've often wondered how an adult can subject a child to an outrageous act; when they can't even comprehend it.
Through the word, I've come to learn, that it was not only a sinful act of lust. But also a wicked spirit; trying to conquer innocence.
An evil force from the darkness of this world making an attempt to enslave and destroy. But trust; God is in control. Though the enemy is in and of this world. My God has healed me and delivered my soul. And he can do the same for you and yours. Man, Woman, Boy or Girl. It doesn't matter what the reason or cause. Jesus Christ can take care of it all.
I encourage you adults, Christians, or whatever religion you choose to believe in; to open your eyes and see the evil trying to destroy our children. Than take your position and began to release them. Show them the way to freedom. Give love in purity. Protect them from the enemy by giving them to God in Jesus Christ. They too should have the opportunity of eternal life.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. (Isaiah 54:13)
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. Isaiah 8:18
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deuteronomy 6:6-9
In and Out Reach
Everyone was born in this world to serve a purpose. Whether we know it or not. Its a part of our DNA. Something no one can take away. Whatever that is; defines why we live. It can be big or small. It doesn't really matter. What does matter is that we realize it. Because it's not always crystal clear; however it is there.
You know what you can, can't, will or will not do. What makes you tick and what makes you move. But if you're not living for Christ. The one who created you. You may be a little confused.
I choose to live and abide; where there's truth. Where his will is my will, and can't is can. The one and only place to began.
What's going on all around the world is like something you see in the movies. Difference is, it's really happening. Everyday In the news we hear about all sort of crime. In so much; by now, we should all know it's a sign of time. Illegal drug use, murder, rape, child abuse, abduction, espionage, terrorism, hunger,disease, disaster, depression and economic recession. There's more turmoil in the world than I've ever seen, or even heard of before.
It's time we ask God to open our eyes and our mind. So that we can reach out to those that are lost. East, west, south and north.
I know you may have your own issues to get through. But there is a God that can help you. Whether its past, present or future. God can deliver. I'm a living witness.
He brought me back to many places I didn't even want to face. Renewed my spirit and took the damaging effect away. He saved me from my past, present and future. Than showed me what I am truly made of.
In the process he blessed me with a fiery urge to participate in bringing light to the darkness of this world. To bare witness and give testimony of what he can do. To be an instrument of healing and encouragement for the abused.
I no longer have regrets because it took all that to bring me where I'm at. And it'll take where I'm at, to get me where I got to get. You can't cover up the dirt because that's what you're made of. But in Christ there's new birth.
I live now with direction, and freedom from the sin within. Therefore I will survive with open eyes. Bringing to light; all that I have inside to lead those lost in the direction of Christ., where there's purpose and real life.
Its not something I earned. But the grace and mercy he gave when I yearned.
There is no other way. We all have to be saved, by accepting Jesus Christ the son he gave. When we follow him we gain many things including the spirit of forgiveness and giving.
Christ said he did not come into the world to condemn it or destroy but to save. That is the example he gave. In that we have the ability to see and be whom we were created us to be. But we got to make a move if we are to be an instrument or tool made for the fathers use.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3: 5-6
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:2
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. John 1:43
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5
preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2
