Worship

What did God make us for?He made us to worship Him.
Have you ever gone to a small church? And they sing pretty loud but have you ever been to a very large church and you can sing your heart out to God and no one knows you are singing or that your sing off tune?I have, and that is my point today do you think God would like to hear a small or big church sing? I don't mean small churches are bad but you really feel the worship to God better with a larger church.The difference is the sound and the number of people you can also have the same sincerity in a small church as well.Well if we are made to worship God don't you think we should be going out and tell others about Christ so that they can worship Him too?That's what the Bible tells us in Mark 16:15 Jesus Christ him self says"Go ye into all the world,and preach the gospel to every creature."I believe that Jesus wants us to go out and talk to people.It is possible that if you don't go put that track on the table with the tip or you don't go talk to that homeless man on the street that they could go to HELL.Sometimes you never find out what that talk or track did but you know that you will find out when you die and go to heaven.Paul tells us not to be ashamed of God or sharing your faith in Romans 1:16 it says" For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the Of God unto salvation to everyone that believed, to the Jew first then also to the Greek(or gentile)"That says to me that we should not be afraid to share our faith because it is God who really does the work and not us we just have to tell them and God will do the rest.Also Romans 10:13-15 Paul says"For whoso ever calls apon the Lord shall be saved but how then shall they call on him in whom the have not believed? and how shall they believe in whom the have not heard? and how shall they hear with out a preacher?And how shall they preach except they be sent?as it is written how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!"That clearly says that we need to preach to the lost and tell others for they too can worship God.Still like the verse said how can they preach or how can they praise and worship God if they are not told.

What Will You Do With Temptation

What does the word "Temptation"bring to your mind?What do you think when you hear that word?Maybe you would you would reather just not talk about it, and the things it makes you do.And maybe you don't want to admit that you are having a hard time dealing with it.Temtation is not sin its what you do with it that either pushes you closer to God or pulls you away from God.Lets dig deeper into what the Bible says about Temptation.In 1 corinthians 10:13Paul said"there hath no teamtation taken you but such as is commen to man:but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it."
Satan wants us to fall and trip up and ruin our lives and our walk with God.His greatest wictory is to get Christians to trip up and pull us from our close relationship with or Lord and savior and turn us around the opposite way of him.
The problem comes about when we think we can do it on our own and not trip up.But again Paul warns us in 1corinthians10:12"LE HIM THAT THINKETH HE STANDETH TAKE HEED LEST HE FALL"!!! Satan does not know everything he can not read minds but he does do his home work.He hits our weak spots where he knows we will be ticked off You say how does he know where our weak spots our well the thing is when ever you say man that really ticks me off or that really makes me mad that is when he hears that and will bring more of those things in to your life.
We think we have the temptations under control as long as we keep an eye out for the "BIG SINS" but even the smallest things can make you trip up even the slitest desire can make us trip and fall.Temptations attract us and if we dont turn around and run from them they will lead us to sin.
James1:14-15 state"But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust,and enticed.Then when lust hath concived it bringeth forth sin : and sin,when it is finished,bringeth forth death."The steps from temptation are easy we give in then that sin pushes away from God and that what satan wants.

So DO YOU STOP YOUR TEMPTATIONS FROM BECOMING SINS?

PREPARE

First of all you have to want to stand against satan and really desire to follow Jesus. If in your mind you are sizing out the pros and cons of following Jesus and sinning then chances are you will most likely trip up and fall. Be honest with god if you would rather sin and do all that stuff then ask God to change your heart so you can start following him, also ask him to open your eyes to see how wrong it is he has been there:"for we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we ar yet with out sin"Hebrews 4:15
Once you have the desire to follow Him then you have to make a choice to deal with the temptations head on when they come. Dont try to ignore the temptation or that will give satan a crack in the window to come in.You need to be activly involved in seeking righteousness and gaurd your self with Gods help.One way to help stay out of tempting places is have a plan have others to hold you accountable.



PRAYER
As we read in hebrews 4:15 Jesus is our High Priest and through him we can approach our heavenly father.HE wants to handle our sins that we struggle with we give those sins up to him by prayer we need to spend daily time with him and give our sins and temptations up to him and when we get tempted always run to God.

PERSEVERANCE
James 1:2-4 simply says" My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations;knowing this,that the trying of your faith worketh patience.But let patience have her perfect work that ye ma beperfect and entire wanting nothing"Perseverance helps build caracter and helps us build our relationship with The Son OF GOD.When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by satan in Matthew4 Jesus was physically worn down. yet instead of letting satan get to him he persevered and won the victory we need to becom more like him. And we do that by resisting temptations and following Jesus

Hope

What is our hope????? Our hope is in Jesus.That is our blessed hope.We are body,soul,spirit. There is No hope for our body its going to die, Our body is flesh. Our soul is what goes on with our emotions,heart and mind.The soul is where the battle,That is we can give up ground to satan.Dont get me wrong i believe once saved always saved that is our spirit our spirit is saved.We must be able to hear his voice,for the battle the battle is won with God and only with God may we concquer the enemy.We can not fall back to our body because our body is toast its history it cant help us. So our only hope is with the father to win the battle after you are saved.But for those who are not saved you must receve christ with your whole heart the Bible says it is a free gift for those people to take, Any one can receive him if you think you have sinned toe great your wrong look at paul he kill tons and tons of christians and god still let him come to the kingdom of God it is yours free And all you have to do is believe,you have hope if you do not you will live in Hell for ever and ever. Jesus is coming soon Are you ready ??????????

Faith

Faith is a very important character,in my opinion it is the most important character because you must have faith to be a son/daughter of God faith is believing Not seeing you must have faith to believe, so in that perspective it is most important. Also look at Noah he had to build a big boat is a place where there had been no rain most likely for a long time and his life depended on it for more than a hundred years he built and warned the people but they all just laughed.It must have been hard not even seeing Him and still believing and to build a big boat in what I think must have been a desert. I mean think of that today, go to the Sahara Desert most likely gets no rain and claim that God told you to build a big boat because he was going to destroy the earth with a flood. I mean that would be kind of silly if you think about it.
But still it is very important that YOU believe on the Lord and be saved that takes faith lots and lots of faith and when you think you can't have that look at Noah. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.

Christ is coming soon are you ready?

Verse of the day

Hi! This is the verse of the day. My mom showed this to us this morning from this prophecy conference. Some people think revelation is hard to understand but this proves it wrong."Revelation 1:3 BLESSED IS HE THAT READETH AND THEY THAT HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY ,AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN THEREIN :FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND."Is'nt that soooo cool?
~Paul Andrews

What is good Character???????

Character is the inward motivation to do what is right acccording tho the highest standards of behavior in every situation. Character consits of the stable and distinctive qualities built into an individual's live which determine his or her responses, regardlessof the circumstances. Character is the wise response to the pressure of a difficult situation and what we do when we think that no one is watching. it is the predictor of good behavior.
~Paul Andrews

Why is Faith SO important???????

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen."(Hebrews 11:1) "Without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is ,and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him"(Hebrews 11:6) *We are justified by faith(made perfect in gods sight).(see Romans 3:28.) *We are saved from our sins by faith.(see ephesians 2:8,9)*We are sanctified and clensed by faith (see Acts 26:18)*Our herarts are purified by faith(see Acts 15:9)* We can "Move Mountains"by faith(see Matt 17:20)
~Paul Andrews

How do we get Faith?????????

An initial measure of faith to believe in God is given to every person in the world. Jesus commended the faith of little children by stating ,"Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein,"(mark 10 :15)

Demons do exsist

Demans do exsist but this should not scare us our focus should not be on the demans, but our relationship with Christ.This is A Battle between satan and Christ and satan will do any thing to distract you from our Relationship with our loving Savior Jesus Christ.Demans should not be scary to an equipped Beliver.The Bible says The truth will set you free, That means from the devils teaching.Jesus is truth and he will set you free. In the end times there is going to be a revival of devils teaching leading to their "savior" The antichrist.The devils are liars ay one who tells a lie is a liar.If satan is talking its a lie.Do not listend to a liar(devils) even if it is the truth.
Do not mess with the teaching of devils.Every one has a lying spirit. Do you have a tv or a radio or newspaper? those are lying spirits.
Some people may say that they have talked to dead But Thos spirits will say any thing they love to do that.Look at king saul in the old testement samuel was dead and God would not speak to him and he was sopose to kill all of the whitches but there was one left he wet to her discised and asked for samuel to talk to the whitch started to call her spirits when God intervined and the whitch was horrified.so dont mess with demans.

Jesus is coming soon Are you ready????????

Steps To Salvation

.
If you have come to a decistion that you would like to know my Lord as your persinal savior. You have come to the right place.
The Bible says (And Jesus)That salvation is a free gift and all you have to do is just ask.
The Bible tells us that everyone is a sinner:"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)You must realize that there is a punishment for sin:"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)This does not mean only physical death, but also spiritual death:"...fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28b)Jesus died on the cross for your sins:"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)And then He rose from the dead, conquering death:"Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;" (Acts 10:40)Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, eternal life becomes a free gift from God:"Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." (Romans 5:18)"...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b)Just like any gift, it doesn't become yours until you receive it. To receive God's gift of eternal life, you must call on the name of the Lord:"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)Time is growing short, and you should not put off your decision. The Bible tells us:"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)" (2 Corinthians 6:2)Jesus said He is the only way you can receive eternal life:"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)"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)The Bible says you must repent of your sins and receive Him as your Lord and Savior:"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19)If you don't, you are already condemned for eternity:"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18)Accepting Him as your Lord and Savior will empower you to endure the trials and tribulations of everyday life until He comes for His own in the Rapture of the Church. Jesus freely offers you comfort and guidance through the Holy Spirit for your life today, and eternal salvation through Him for your life tomorrow...and forever.To receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, simply do as the Bible tells us in Romans 10:9-10 above...believe in Him with your heart, and confess Him as Lord with your mouth. You can say this prayer or one similar for your confession:Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins, and God raised You from the dead. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Your name, amen.But you may be thinking, there is no example in the Bible of a 'sinner's prayer'. True, but we are told to "confess with our mouth" (Romans 10:9a) because the verbal confession produces salvation (Romans 10:10b). That's why any verbal confession to Him is heard, and why I said above "or one similar". But, heartfelt belief must also accompany the verbal confession (Romans 10:9b) because heartfelt belief produces righteousness (Romans 10:10a). Our outward confession is a product of our inward belief. One can use any prayer they want for their confession, I only offer an example. But if you don't mean it with your heart, He knows. Remember the thief on the cross? He simply confessed Him as Lord and asked the Lord to remember him when He came into His Kingdom (Luke 23:42). That was his verbal confession which the Lord knew he meant with his heart.Time is growing short and the Lord Jesus Christ is gathering His Church in preparation to take them Home. If you're not saved, please consider His offer with an open heart. If you are saved, praise God for it, and please share His offer with someone you know.
