    The Sins of Our Children.

    Many say that we are held accountable for the sins of our children. But is that so? The

    Bible teaches that we will be held accountable for every idle word that we speak. Thatwe must seek out our own salvation, with fear and trembling. There is no verse inscripture that states that the unruliness of our children will be accounted to us as parents.Sin is a matter of choice and not hereditary. Its not something that is passed down fromgeneration to generation.

    There is of course a curse that can be passed down to our children, that the scripturetalks about. Specifically, when Jesus was being tried before the Jews and they called for His execution. Pilot warned them and they said let the curse be upon us and our children.Ive noticed that some people try to blame their parents, for the condition of children ,that end up on drugs, in jail or dead. They say ,if only the mom or dad, did this or that,then ma-by the child would have turned out different. Is this a true statement or is it anexcuse for the lack of belief and trust in the lessons that the parents tried to teach? I

    believe that we should put the responsibility where it belongs, on the individual.

    The Bible states, Teach a child in the way of the Lord and the Word shall not depart fromthem. Does this mean that the lessons taught will save the child later in life? No, this is amisunderstanding of scripture. Again the salvation of each person is based upon their accepting Jesus as their Savior. The word will not depart from them, but they still must

    make the commitment to Christ on their own. Then why does the Bible teach this? Thatthere will be no excuse, when it comes the time for their judgment. The Bible does state,that if a man stand uprightly before God, then He will save his entire household.

    This is true, but, there goes a responsibility to God, on the part of each child to, endureuntil the end. Those that are saved are saved indeed, but those that endure unto the end,the same shall be saved. There is a controversy here in this statement, where some

    preach, once saved always saved, but in my studies I find, no where in scripture, whereit ever contradicts, endure unto the end. We must tell our children the truth, they musthold on until death, their faith in Christ. Well show in scripture that the individual is heldaccountable for the word that they have been taught.

    There is a misconception going around in some teachings, it states that, everyone will beheld accountable for everything in scripture. But this cant be, for we are only heldaccountable for what we have been taught. Lets get into the scripture and sort all thisout. Matthew 27:25, Then answered all the people and said,His blood be on us andour children. Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death,and the

    father the son,and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

    Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him thatcalleth. In Matthew 27:25, The Jews brought a curse upon their children ,by their obstinate and hatred of Jesus. They condemned their children to banishment andcaptivity for generations to come. We can also bring curses upon our children by thesame actions and also inaction's. By not believing upon the name of Jesus, or byswearing an oath to God out of spite. For the Bible states, Its better not to make an oath,than to make one and break it.

    Here in this verse we can see that the parents weren't held accountable for the sins of

    their children but just the opposite, the children had to bear the sins of the parents, hardto believe but its true. Most of what we see in scripture has to do with prophecy, wherethe worst enemies that we will have will be of our own family. Children are bornwithout sin, many believe the exact opposite, but the Bible is clear on this. Look at

    Romans 9:11 ,closely and you will see that Babys are born, having done, neither Goodor evil, so children have an equal chance in life to make up their own mind to do good or to choose evil ,as a way of life. We raise up a child in the word and it shall not departfrom them, but they will still be given a choice. So as you see ,we are not heldaccountable for the sins of our children. ars

    Condemning Sin in the Flesh,The Other Side Of Jesus.

    There has been a lot of controversy over what a Christian is supposed to do to conveythe teachings of Jesus to the lost and unruly in the world. We have been told here latelythat we must be more tolerant and kind and submissive to other points of view. We aretold and condemned ourselves over specific issues that have affected the Nation, region,local people and the Church as a whole. We have been subjected to anti-Christian pointsof view, where the world is now calling good evil and evil good.

    Do we as Christians judge others, No. We condemn sin in the flesh as scriptureinstructed us to. If we as Christians and ministers of the word dont live up to theexpectations of God to deliver the truth to a lost and dieing world, who then will? Theopposition to the truth speaks of My Lord, Jesus only as the Christ of Love andunderstanding, but they ignore the other side of The Son of God. Jesus, the Ruler,

    Conqueror, Debater, The Angel of Truth, Fighter of Unrighteousness, and the Rebuker of Sin and corruption. They ignore Jesus the Warier and punish-er of evil, the destroyer of the anti Christ, false prophet and beast.

    Jesus came to this world as a Lamb, the next time He will not come submissive or tame,He will not come as a Baby in swaddling clothing, He will not come in a manger, Hewill not come in piece, but He will come as the Avenging Angel of Revelations. WithPower and Great Glory. The Glory that He had prior to Bethlehem. With Power andGreat Glory, a warier of renound, a warier of Righteousness, a warier, with the backingof the Father and Power of the Holy Ghost.

    Will there be faith on the earth when He returns? A question that we all should ask ourselves. Will there be men and women of integrity and morals on this planet of sin?

    Mel Gibson produced a film of extraordinary quality of the murder of Jesus; maybe Heshould also make a film based on the return of our savior at Armageddon. True, Jesusdied for our sins, but we as Christians, no longer serve a, suffering, dieing Messiah(Hebrew), we serve the risen, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, The reigning King Jesus,alive and well, sitting on the right hand of Power.

    We serve the one, whose vesture is dipped in blood, riding a white stallion, weal-dingthe sword of the Lord God Almighty. Who shall return with our Lord at the time of HisVictory, will it be of those that stood the greatest test of faith in this life, will it be thoseof great courage in times of adversity? The Bible doesnt state, but I pray that some of ustoday, in this time, in this era of global change, are found worthy to ride with Him,whose coming will mark, the end of sin and corruption.

    The survival of mans soul is at stake, the future of our loved ones and enemies is at aturning point. The spirit of anti-Christ is abounding every where, nation to nation, in our schools, government, politics, neighborhoods, theres no where you can go withouthearing anti Christian, anti Jewish comments. Can this world last much longer, have we

    become so lax in our studies that we can discern the signs of the seasons but miss thesigns of the times?

    Romans 8; 16, should give us all a reason and a passion to fulfill the commission thatJesus left to us. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the childrenof God. We are not hear on this earth to make a name for ourselves, but we are hear tomake the name of Jesus, stand out to the world and herald a new age to come, where allsin and unrighteousness, will be defeated forever. For as many as are led by the Spiritof God, they are the sons of God Rom.8; 14. So let us all rejoice in the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father, we are who we are by the grace of God.

    Concerning Hell.

    As the scriptures say a lot about Heaven, it also says about the same about Hell. Itsexistence, that most people want to ignore. To give people an alternative to everlasting

    piece, God introduced a place of torment into their decision. Hell in the beginning wascreated not for man, but for Satan and his fallen angels. Man was created to liveeternally with God on this planet. I know that youve all heard the stories, that came outof Russia, about the scientist drilling down into the depths of the earth, dropping sounddevices into the holes and hearing screams and the sounds of people ,at incredibledepths. True ?

    I dont know, but it makes for a good discussion around the dinner table. What I know istrue thou, is Gods account of a place that is hotter than a great blast furnace. Lets take alook at Luke12:4-5 , Jesus by His own words confirmed the existence of Hell, But Iwill forewarn you whom ye shall fear; fear Him, which He hath killed hath power to castinto Hell,.... Remember now the Gospel is for those who will believe, atheist will saythere is no hell or heaven, and until God deals with them in a manner of His own

    choosing.

    They will remain un-believers, but one act of violence or near death experience for them,will turn the most stern atheist into an agnostic. Even in the book of Psalms, the sorrowsof Hell are apparent, 18:8, 16:10, 55:15, Psalms 27:20, gives us a unique look at thecondition of hell and its size, lets read, Hell and destruction are never full, so the eyesof man are never satisfied. David knew about the existence of hell, and his informationcame from the Holy Spirit. How many times, does the Bible have to say that somethingexists, before its considered to be true?

    One. I believe that one of the most remembered verses in scripture about hells existence,is found in Isaiah, 14: 12-15. How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of theMorning......yet thou shall be brought down to Hell, to the sides of the pit. These versesnot only prove the existence but condition and layout of Hell. A pit is a , grave or a vault,this grave that the writer talks about, has length, width, breath, depth and sides. Aninescapable, vault or prison for the unrighteous and un-repenting of mankind and thewho-rd of fallen angels of Satan.

    Some consider Hell as a place without light, with heat greater than a modern blastfurnace, because the scriptures state that the sinner will be cast into outer darkness,there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. This is just a taste of the scriptureconcerning Hell, enough to allow those that are lost to start thinking about their future.In the Book of Jude, the scripture tells us that, On some having compassion making adifference and on others using fear, hating even the garment, spotted by the flesh.Convincing some of the existence of Hell, is an important way of turning them aroundand directing them to Jesus. Even thou, I make my bed in Hell, the Lord is with me,and I pray that God will always be with you. js, ars

    The Chosen of Christ.

    We as ministers must believe what the Bible states as truth. This sermon dealswith,telling the truth, not as we know it but as Jesus told us. Jesus never tolerated sin andneither does He or the Father expect us to. If we as ministers cant tell the truth aboutwhat sin is then we are as lost as those that we try to reach. Lets see what Jesus had tosay about sin. Luke 17;1-4 , It is impossible but that offenses will come; but woe untohim, through whom they come...rebuke him...

    Luke 14 ;34-35,Salt is good, but if the salt have lost his savor....it is neither fit for theland...but men cast it out. He that hath ears, to hear, let him hear. If we are offended by

    the scripture then we are offended by Christ. Ministers are the guiding light to the world.Jesus called the Pharisees , fools and hypocrites. Why? They deviated from the truth.Are there not men so called ministers today that have and are deviating from the truth?The answer is yes, are they called by God to minister ?

    If their eye is dark ,then , no. Jesus said, Take heed therefore that the light which is inthee be not darkness. I will say again, a man calling himself a minister of God, called

    by Jesus, a chosen one of Christ, will Not, behave himself, outside the boundaries of theGospel of Jesus Christ. He will not be a drunkerd, fighter, thief, homosexual or anythingthat is unrighteous, in the sight of the Lord. There are men today that are totally unruly.They have left their first love and have gone astray in a path that will lead to utter destruction., and those who agree with them or allow them to minister unto them are justas guilty in the sight of God. Be not partaker in their sin.

    The scripture states very loudly, ... and If he hear not the church, cast him out as aheathen. Strong words., yes, but realize that we are in a battle for the souls of men, its a

    battle that we cant afford to lose. If we cant stand up for righteousness, then we will fallfor anything. No sin shall inter into the kingdom of Heaven, period. Lets look now at

    what Paul said about those that are unruly in the church. Romans 16:17-18, Now I beseach you breathern, mark them which cause devisions and offences that are contraryto the doctrine, which ye have learned, and avoid them. Paul as with Jesus never gaveoptions as far as sin was concerned.

    How do we, in this verse mark them?,.. by telling others, the doctrine that they areusing is false and warn them to avoid these types of people. Isn't this gospel, isn't this,word, isn't this a commandment?,.. then why do ministers often avoid using the power that Jesus has delegated unto us, the chosen of Christ? Lets look at a commentary of Matthew Henry on this verse....Romans 16;17, M.H. Com.,... If truth be forsaken, unityand piece will not last long.

    Many call Christ, Master and Lord, who are far from serving Him. They corrupt the

    head by deceiving the Heart. The Holy Spirit has lead me to write this sermon ,becauseof the divisions in the church around this country and the world, willing me to warnthem that are unruly, that Christ will repay all that cause division and spread falsedoctrine. We are the chosen of Christ and are expected to stand up for righteousness andtruth. and it shall come to pass ,that they shall say, piece and safety, and suddendestruction shall come upon them.

    We are not of this world, we are in this world but we don't have to tolerate the falsedoctrine, teachers, preachers and especially sin. We will as the Chosen of Christ,continue to battle sin at the source, cutting it up from the roots. We have a flock to

    protect and if we don't stand between them and the wolf, then who will. .. where muchis given, much is expected... Jesus is expecting much from us, for we hold the keys tothe kingdom in our hands, we are ambassadors of Christ. Peace, love and prosperity toall, blessed are the feet of the man who carries the gospel.. in Jesus name, Amen. Youare the Chosen of Christ. ars.

    The Miracle of Life.

Have you ever lost everything that youve owned? John 11:26-27 Jesus said unto her," I am the resurrection, and the Life, he that believeth in Me, thouhe were dead, yet shall he live , and whomsoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this ?"

    say that the doctor healed me or it wasn't as bad as the doctors first thought, or someother excuse, except the truth. Some people cant handle the truth, some ignore the truth.Why is it so hard to get Christians to believe what Jesus said in John 11? Didn't he saythat He WAS the life, or was He making this up, just to make Himself look good? Iknow that miracles do happen, I know that Jesus can raise people from the dead, I knowthat cancer can be cured by prayer, I know that a warm Glass of water can turn to Ice

    before your eyes, I know that My Redeemer liveth.

    I Know. "he That Believeth in Me " Here is the key, the key that opens up promises, thekey that opens up healing , mysteries , prayers, dreams, the key that will raise the deadand that will turn warm water into Ice. You may have heard the sermon, Now Faith, itstrue, its a fact of accomplishing any thing that your heart desires. It opens up doors withthat key of belief, Satan puts up a fire before the door of belief, a shadow, a screen , a

    lie, and all you have to do is walk thru the fire, it cant harm you, its full of bright color and smell but there is no heat, its as when Jesus told us of clouds with no water, a pictureof something that doesn't exist.

    Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life," The way, a path, a door, an opening tosome place other than where you are, Jesus is the door to the sheep fold and no manenters except thru Him. Satan try's to block that door with deception, lies and deception,

    putting up a smoke screen. The Truth, Fact, statement or statements with proof of existence, without false hood. The Life, living in our out of body, relevance, growth tomaturity, self existence without end, eternal. The Miracle of life is in Jesus and in Faith,In God, in the Holy Ghost, in the Word. How do the statements at the beginning of thissermon fit in, because they are fact, their true,

    How do I know?, because it is my Miracle of Life, I was pronounced dead of a massiveheart attack, and still I live, I have cardiovascular disease, I have been diagnosed withLiver cancer and I still Preach, I have Reflux Sympathetic Dystrophy and I still use myArms, in a Court House, before witnesses, I asked God to show me my future and the

    belief poured warm water into a glass picture on my table , and it turned to Ice, showingme that the Jury had a cold heart. Unbelievable ? Yes, My God is unbelievable, Hes the

    God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Hes the everlasting to everlasting. The Miracle of life is in the Blood, which we have and are the seed of God, His blood flows thru us.You are Kings and Priest before God. You've done without for too long, you've beendenied for too long you've been separated from the Master for too long, its time you takeyour place as a child of the King.

    How, by accepting the Miracle of life that was given to you at you rebirth. Can you behealed, Yes, delivered, Yes, set free from the bondage of, doubt, bad memories of days

    gone past ,Yes. What God has done for others, He will do for you. John 11:25-26, " I amthe resurrection, and the Life,....And who so ever believeth in Me Shall Never Die." TheMiracle of Life, isn't really a Miracle, its fact ,its promise, its, destiny, its part of who we

    became, when we gave our Heart to Jesus, If children, then heirs, heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ.

    Romans 8;17. We now are royal blood, a people that was not a people, a royal priesthood, we have the life within us, we are more than conquerors. Accept the Miracles thatare set before you, never doubt, Jesus proclaimed our victory over death, hell and thegrave, He proclaimed us, victors over disease, illness, death, We are who we are ,by thegrace of God. Sing praises to His name, for He is the great I Am. We no longer live inthe shadow of death, we are no longer beggars , we are no longer slaves to sin and Satan,as Martin L. King, once said, I'm Free at last, I'm free at Last, Thank God almighty, I'm

    free at Last. "Ask , and it shall be given you , seek and ye shall find , knock and it shall be opened unto you."

    Have you asked, have you sought, have you even knocked on the door, where Jesusstands ready to make intersessions to God on you behalf, so that your prayers will beanswered. Where death no longer control's your destiny, where sickness , no longer will

    bind you down , where disease will be only a minor interruption , and where hatred willno longer be in your vocabulary. The Miracle of life is many things, what it is to one,may be something different to others. You have to find out what it is to you. What hasGod done for you, how can you stand up and praise Him, what Miracle of life can youshare with some one else?

    I'm alive by the grace of God, and without fear for the future, for the scriptures say, " If Ilive, I live unto the Lord, If I die I die unto the Lord, so weather I live or die, I am theLords." Bless you all, in the Name of Jesus. ars

    The Beginning of The End.

    Most people look at prophecy as ,for someone else, but this year that idea will changeforever. Isiah 10;5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mineindignation. Isiah 59:1, 10:5 thru 11:16, 66:1- 24. The Bible states that the antichristshall confirm a peace treaty with Israel for the length of seven years and at the mid pointor 3 and a half years he shall break it.

    The Bible also states that God Himself, at the battle of Armageddon ,shall kill theAssyrian. The point of this message is to call the lost into repentance, before its too late,I'm not setting dates or times, just presenting the facts , so that others can make up their

    mind as to weather resist the call of God or take a look at the condition of their soulsagain. The Bible tell us in Revelations about Babylon and her destruction, lets take alook at Babylon again. The scriptures note that Babylon is a city of great wealth and

    prominence and is the center of money and goods. That the world had become wealthy by her and that she was the center of their attention.

    The Assyrian capitol of Babylon was was destroyed but the scripture tells us that sheshall be destroyed twice. Jesus said, and this is very important to remember in prophecy," That which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit" Now if we look at everycity in the world that would match the Bibles description of Babylon there comes, two,into mind, 1. New York City, New York and, 2. Babylon, Iraq. New York is the center of modern day commerce and center of world trade and the world banking system. Couldthis be the reason terrorist are trying to destroy her or is there something else.

    Babylon ,Iraq has been destroyed, but Saddam Hussein was trying to rebuild it, this isfact, he even placed his own name on the bricks of the construction site of the temple of Murdak. Speculation, you might say, but lets not decide yet, lets look at Bible fact. If welook closely at the Assyrian in scripture, God warns him and Israel about him. Who thenis the Assyrian? The Assyrian in scripture was and still is a nation of people thatcontrolled the Babylonian Empire and took Israel into captivity. The problem here lies,that the Assyrians no longer have a nation but are scattered throughout the world. Thenhow can be define who the Assyrian is?

    We take the scripture as is and start to be Bible detectives. We know that the Bible tellsus that the Assyrians are the people of, Chaldeans, Nineveh, Hittites, Luites, Uruk andthe people of Ur. Today they would be the people of western Egypt, Syria, Iran ,Iraq, etc.Why is this important to us today, look at the news headlines ,here is one article thatmight bring all of this home to you, Jerusalem- Israel had secret contacts with Syriaseveral months ago... The secret meetings appeared part of an effort to restart peace talks

    between Israel and one of its most intractable enemies. From the Associated Press,January,2004.

    The actual location of the Babylon in scripture isn't that important but a piece treaty withthe Assyrian or Antichrist is extremely important. How can we ignore scripture and thenews when they both agree. A piece treaty will come and the antichrist will arrise as thesavior of the middle east and he will break the treaty and try to destroy the Israelis. Themark of the beast, travel in and out of the United States has taken a dangerous turn ,insecurity, a color code for passengers will soon be in effect, most of your money is nowdirect deposited, you never see it, earth quakes in divers places, the oceans are dieing,the two poles are melting, things are changing.

    How much more does have to allow to happen before those that are lost call upon Hisname? The world is starting to burn, our forest are going up in flames, hurricanes,volcanoes, massive mud slides, and still the lost will not come to Jesus. Fire and smoke,mingled with Blood, all these tribulations and they still will not repent. The Assyrian iscoming, mankind is racing toward Armageddon, their feet run swiftly toward mischief,murder on their minds and blood on their hands. Children having children, homosexualsabound, race-ism, antisemitism, greed, lust, fornication, lies adultery, as the Bible states,as was in the days of Noah, so shall it be.....

    Lets look at Isaiah 35: 1-10, ..." and the desert shall rejoice, and blossum as a rose, Israelhas blossomed, where there was only desert ,there rises crops to feed the nation andcrops that are exported a bountiful harvest for the children of God." 3." Strengthen ye

    the weak hands and comfirm the feeble knees......behold your God will come withvengeance , even God with a recompense, He will come and save you. " Jesus knew andtold us that a fire had already been kindled and He never came to stop it, but to call thelost to repentance. The stage is set and the players are ready to preform their last act. Thenations around Syria are becoming weaker as she becomes stronger, the antichrist willarise as a man of piece and he shall take three nations by force and the rest will abdicateto him. Ten Crowns and Ten Kingdoms.

    Our enemies are now our friends and we start pulling away from Israel. The Bible statesthat all nations shall compass about Israel, ready to destroy her. Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel,Revelations are all being fulfilled, there is a storm coming, and we are powerless to stopit. Only Jesus can quiet the storm, only Jesus can save you thru the day of the Lord.Only Jesus can save you and pull you out of the fire. How much more do you have tosee, how much more do you have to endure alone, sickness, depression, a loneliness andan empty space in your heart that you cant fill with drugs or alcohol. Will it take fire,falling down from Heaven to turn you around, will it take the ground opening up beforeyou to open your eyes, as to what is happening?

    Verse 5, " Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be

    unstopped." What will it take? Jesus loves you, God loves you, cant you love them inreturn, All they want is to trade your sins for a life that will never end, joy unspeakableand full of glory. Think about what I've said, think about your future, think about the

    possibilities, if Jesus would come this moment would you wake up in Heaven or wouldyou have to face the Assyrian, the king of unrighteousness? The beginning of the endstarted when Eve took the first bite. Where will you be, more importantly who will you

    be, when Jesus returns, a christian, blood bought and washed, or lost without hope?Remember we are in , The Beginning of The End. ars.

    Effective Prayer.

    "Our Most Gracious Heavenly Father. I come to you in the Name of your Son Jesus,asking, praying and giving thanks, for all the Blessings that you have bestowed upon meand my family. You are the Lord God almighty, the God of Abraham, The God of Isaac,and the God of Jacob and thou art my God." This is the beginning of my prayers to God,who, know,sees and understands all our needs before we even ask. What makes a prayer and effective prayer? An effective prayer is not a prayer at all, really, but acommunication, one on one, with God.

    A unifying of Spirits, thru Jesus Christ our mediator. The Bible tells us that we are tocome unto the throne room boldly and submit our petitions to God. We must praise Godfor His excellent Greatness, Power, Majesty and for His Glory, this is not much to ask,for all that our Lord has done for His Children. Hebrews 4:14-16; Seeing then that wehave a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us holdfast our profession. (If we Confess, Jesus, our, Profession, of Jesus will be valid.) For wehave not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;(Jesusconsiders all who believe because He experienced all that we do.) but was in all pointstempted like as we are, yet without sin.

    "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and

    find grace to help in time of need. " Our most common prayers to God consist of our deepest concerns for the health and well being of our Friends, Loved One, Family, andour Enemies. This is our every day trial of faith that comes when we see others suffer.This however is different from a close encounter with the Lord for those things thatJesus called Petitions. In a general sense, a Petition is, a request, supplication or prayer;

    but chiefly and appropriately, a solemn or formal supplication. This is deeper than a prayer, that most of us, without us realizing, are common repetitive prayers.

    There is nothing wrong with this, God knows us by our level of Faith, but Jesus told usthat the Father already knows our needs before we even ask. Hence the Lords Prayer. Ahumble petitioner; one who entreats submissively. Entreating; beseeching; supplicating;asking earnestly and submissively. A prayer addressed by a person to the SupremeBeing, for something needed or desired, or a branch or particular article of prayer. AnEffective Prayer comes from the Heart, is Spontaneous and is directly, from praying inthe Holy Ghost, toward the Father.

    We must spend time with Him, Getting to know Him, as He gets closer to us. Evendoctors today tell us that a child grows best when, there is an interaction between them,and the parent, is God any different than a loving human parent? When your prayers go

    beyond just speaking at God and become prayers to God, then your prayers become arelationship, with God. Wesley states of Hebrews 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly -Without any doubt or fear. Unto the throne of God, our reconciled Father, even histhrone of grace - Grace erected it, and reigns there, and dispenses all blessings in a wayof mere, unmerited favor.

    Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wehave access to God, without going thru man, nor Angel, for Christ Gave us of His Spirit,

    that we may enter into the Presence of God by the Name of Jesus. There is no need for any mediator than Jesus. Another man cannot be a mediator for you, this is beyond his power and access. When we understand our rights and privileges, that we possess, thenour prayers and our very lives can be changed, so long as it is in the will of God. This isstated in 1John 5:14, "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:"

    Many times our prayers fall short, because they are not in Gods will for that person, place nor situation. If prophecy is dependent upon something happening, God will notanswer a prayer that would change the prophecy. 1John 5:13 These things have I writtenunto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye haveeternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1Jo 5:15 And if weknow that he hear us,(Are you confident enough that God actually hears your prayers, if so then you are in direct contact with Him.

    I always ask God to forgive me of any sin that I may have committed, so that my heart isclear, before interring into His presence.) whatsoever we ask, we know that we have thePetitions that we desired of him. Psa 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in thename of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy Petitions. Pro

    15:28-29; The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. An effective prayer is not a mundane nor repetitive prayer, for Jesus wasdissatisfied with the Pharisees repetitive prayers. Thus He taught us of praying with theHeart and with Power.

    Our prayers must address the fact, that, when we mention the Name of Jesus, we arethen in Direct presence with God. We are no longer a servant but a Child of God. Jesus,

    as we became a believer, became not Just Lord and Christ to us, but also a Friend.Therefore God will deal with us not as a stranger but as a King & Priest. James 5:16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. Theeffectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. This is a passionate requestand conversation with the Father.

    What is needed is a conversation with God without asking for anything. Seeking Hiswill for us, seeking His wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Feelings for us. Taketime just to talk with God. You'll feel the difference each time you pray. ars.

    Being A Light in A Dark World.

    Being A Light in A Dark World. Every time I set down to write I always ask God whatHe wants me to say, for in me is nothing important. My Sermons come from theInspiration of God. I hear on a daily basis, of many Christians in need, from the poor tothe rich. People seeking aid, answers and reasons for their dilemma. I am writing ayoung lady with an extreme problem, I write Churches that sometimes, but most often,need revival within itself.

    As for the poor, Jesus said that we would always have the poor with us. There is nothingthat we can do, to really help them. The shear magnitude of the problem prevents usfrom making a difference. Most times there are government officials that steal the aid

    before it arrives to those in need. When it does arrive, Warring factions most often stealit away from those that need it and say that, "We are going to Liberate you, so we needthe food more than you." Buying food for a day or two doesn't help them, even for ayear is little to alleviate the persistent problem.

    We still must continue to aid where and when we can, but we must not feed them only, but address the problems. Most of the problems around the world are controlled by onefactor, mans refusal to accept Jesus as Lord and Christ. God stated that famine willencompass this world and it is coming to pass. There are so many that have beendeceived and diluted into believing that there are gods many and lords many, afraid toask questions for fear of their life, they go as a sheep to the slaughter, their head downand their throat exposed.

    This darkness grows by the minute and the Spirit of Anti-Christ also grows. If we cantsee that the end is growing closer, then we, as the "Light of the World", are also indarkness. Have you ever tried to look into a mirror, then close your eyes for a minute,and try to remember what you looked like? Its the same way it is with being a light,sometimes we forget what we are all about, our light gets a little softer, not as bright. Wecannot fear the darkness but we must illuminate it.

    When light and dark comes together, it turns gray, a little less notable, a little lessrecognizable and a little less helpful. Every country around the world is in the samecondition and it gets worse by the minuet. When we go to bed at night some one in their daytime is being killed, starving to death, raped, murdered, sacrificed and recruited intothe depth of utter darkness as a suicide bomber. The Apostle Paul stated that, WithinHimself there was no good thing.

    Understanding our relationship with God is of the utmost importance along with thewisdom, knowledge and understanding of His word. I have made mistakes in myMinistry, and I am the first to admit it. We are not perfect and neither can we be, untilthe time of Rejoicing with Jesus takes place. Even the Apostle Paul stated that He hadnot attained perfection but was still striving for it. But even with our faults, we must still

    be a light. A light in a dark world that is traveling down the road to death anddestruction.

    In Matthew 4:16, we see the effects of being a light in a dark world; " The people whichsat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of deathlight is sprung up." many are on the streets seeking after a good feeling and answers asto their purpose in life. Many have given up on trying to be a citizen of any country andonly live for the day, hoping to get a bit of food from somewhere. Multitudes are blindedto the light by problems and situations that they have found themselves in. Others have

    been taught as a Child to not expect any thing good in this life. In Luke 1:79, we see areason to give light in a dark world. " To give light to them that sit in darkness and in theshadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." To give light to them that sitin darkness and in the shadow of death, the darkness of sin and the shadow of eternal

    death without hope nor escape.

    A Darkness without the Father. We have read before;" Ye, thou I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;" The valley spoken of here is the outside worldthat we step into each and every day. We must be a light, if not, we may have the bloodof those that we could have shown the way, on our hands. There is no super Christian, atleast I haven't seen one. We are all the light, shining together as one to open up thedarkness and show the way of peace, peace not in this life but rather into the next.

    Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

    If therefore thine eye be single, meaning that ones purpose in life must be to please theFather in Spirit, without any other agenda. We are sent into the world to fulfill the will of our Father. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men (Your Testimony of Jesus.),that they may see your good works (These are the works and actions of not only of theSpirit but also of the flesh.), and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Seeking only toGlorify God and not of ourselves.)

    Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. ( Let notyour light be one of self glorification. Keeping your mission always to gain souls for Gods kingdom and not trying to set up your own.) John 1:5 And the light shineth in

    darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The darkness in this world is chokingmultitudes, killing them from within. The light that we shine is not accepted to manythat prefer the darkness and many do not understand the willingness of a Loving God toSave them. Jesus warned us that there will come a time when the darkness of this worldwill be so great, that no man will be able to work. Is that time now, or is it near. Let usalways be a light, because our work shall soon be over and the night will fall. Is it sohard Being A Light in a Dark World. ars
