Sanding is a crucial step in metalworking, whether you’re shaping, smoothing, or finishing metal surfaces. To achieve the best results and ensure the longevity of your abrasive tools, it’s essential to choose the right sanding belt for the job. Selecting the appropriate sanding belt involves considering factors like abrasive material, grit size, backing type, belt dimensions, and safety precautions. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of selecting the right sanding belt for metalworking.

SANDING BELT

 

Understanding the Basics

Before delving into the specifics of choosing a sanding belt, it’s essential to understand the basics of sanding belts, their components, and their role in the metalworking process.

 

Components of a Sanding Belt

  1. Abrasive Material: The abrasive material is the outer layer of the sanding belt responsible for removing material from the workpiece. Different abrasive materials are suited to specific tasks and metals.
  2. Grit Size: Grit size refers to the size of abrasive particles embedded in the belt. It determines the aggressiveness and finish of the sanding process. Lower grit numbers indicate coarser abrasives, while higher numbers represent finer abrasives.
  3. Backing Material: The backing material provides support to the abrasive layer and affects the belt’s durability. Common backing materials include cloth, paper, and polyester.
  4. Belt Dimensions: The dimensions of the belt, such as width and length, determine its compatibility with your sanding equipment.

 

The Role of Sanding Belts in Metalworking

Sanding belts are versatile tools used for various metalworking applications, including:

  • Material Removal: Coarse-grit sanding beltsare used to quickly remove material, such as weld spatter or surface imperfections.
  • Smoothing: Medium-grit belts are employed to smooth rough metal surfaces, preparing them for further finishing.
  • Finishing: Fine-grit belts help achieve a polished and smooth finish on metal surfaces, improving their appearance and functionality.

Now that we have a foundational understanding of sanding belts, let’s explore how to select the right one for your metalworking project.

 

Steps to Selecting the Right Sanding Belt

SANDING BELT

  1. Identify Your Metal Type

Different metals have varying hardness levels, which directly affect the choice of abrasive material. Common metals in metalworking include steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. Here’s a general guideline:

  • Steel:Aluminum oxide abrasive is a good choice for sanding steel.
  • Aluminum:Use a silicon carbide abrasive for aluminum to prevent loading.
  • Stainless Steel:Choose a ceramic abrasive for stainless steel due to its hardness.

It’s crucial to match the abrasive material to the metal you’re working on to achieve the best results without damaging the workpiece.

  1. Determine the Grit Size

The grit size of the sanding belt plays a significant role in the sanding process. Consider the following when choosing the right grit size:

  • Coarse Grits (24-80): Use coarse grits for heavy material removal, such as weld splatter or rust. They are less likely to clog but leave a rougher finish.
  • Medium Grits (100-180): Medium grits are suitable for smoothing out surfaces and removing minor imperfections.
  • Fine Grits (220-600): Fine grits are used for finishing, providing a smooth, polished surface.

Select a grit size based on your project’s requirements. If you’re unsure, start with a medium grit and adjust as needed.

  1. Choose the Backing Material

The choice of backing material affects the belt’s durability and flexibility. In metalworking, cloth and polyester are the most common backing materials. Cloth-backed belts are more durable and suitable for heavy-duty tasks, while polyester-backed belts offer more flexibility, making them ideal for contour sanding.

  1. Determine Belt Dimensions

Ensure that the sanding belt’s dimensions are compatible with your sanding equipment. Measure the width and length of your machine’s belt track to select the appropriate belt size. It’s essential to have a snug fit to prevent belt slipping or misalignment during use.

  1. Consider Specialized Belts

For specific metalworking tasks, specialized sanding belts may be required. These include:

  • Abrasive Belts with Grinding Aids: These belts are designed for cool grinding and reduced heat generation, making them suitable for heat-sensitive metals.
  • Waterproof Belts: If your project involves wet sandingor working in humid conditions, waterproof sanding belts are essential to prevent premature wear.
  • Non-Woven Belts:Non-woven belts are excellent for deburring and blending applications, leaving a consistent finish.
  1. Safety Precautions

Safety should always be a top priority when working with sanding belts in metalworking. Here are some safety precautions to follow:

  • Wear Appropriate Protective Gear: Use safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection as needed to protect yourself from debris and noise.
  • Secure Workpieces:Ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured to prevent it from moving or spinning during sanding.
  • Maintain Equipment: Keep your sanding equipment in good condition, with no loose parts or damaged components.
  • Proper Technique: Follow correct sanding techniques to avoid accidents, such as not forcing the workpiece into the belt and maintaining a firm grip.

 

Conclusion

Selecting the right sanding belt for metalworking is crucial to achieving the desired results efficiently and safely. By considering factors such as abrasive material, grit size, backing material, belt dimensions, and safety precautions, you can ensure that your sanding process is effective and the final finish meets your expectations. Remember that choosing the appropriate sanding belt is a fundamental step in the metalworking process, and it can greatly impact the quality of your work and the longevity of your abrasive tools.

Pray, pray, and pray some more

There are some things that I have prayed for, many, many times, and I have yet to see an answer for them. Naturally I have questioned if maybe I have got something wrong in what I am praying for. It’s easy to recognise that praying for peace is right, and good health seems to be something that God wants for all of us. But what about praying for jobs, accommodation, companionship – yes, I believe the Lord wants everyone to prosper and be well. Perhaps a particular job might not actually be the best, or a certain relationship might not lead to the best outcome, but generally I do believe it is right to pray for blessings for those around us.

            Having come to the point that I believe God wants to answer my prayers, I then must ask, well, why isn’t he? And if he isn’t, should I give up and find something else to pray for? I rediscovered some Scriptures recently that helped answer that question for me.

            The first is the story Jesus told of a person who disturbs his friend at midnight to get some bread for an unexpected visitor. At least I assume he was an unexpected visitor, because if he wasn’t that would be even more annoying. And it was annoying, because the friend was in bed with his family, probably all in the one room, and to get up would have meant disturbing the whole family. And was it even an emergency? It wasn’t as if someone had fallen and needed immediate assistance. The man just wanted to get some bread for his visitor. And it seems that he was not going to give up easily, even when his friend informs him that he can’t get up and give him anything. And the reason that the friend does eventually get up and provide what is needed is, we are informed, due to the persons ‘shameless audacity’.

            Jesus is telling this story when he has been asked to teach about prayer. He is clearly trying to teach his disciples that they need to ask, and keep on asking, when it comes to prayer. And that goes for us too. Not just for the big, important things, but also for those things that can seem insignificant. We are to have shameless audacity too, just like the person in the story who only needed three loaves of bread. Don’t be afraid to ask, and don’t be afraid to ask again, and again, and again.

            Another story that Jesus told his disciples, again with the clear intention that they should always pray and not give up, is the story of the persistent widow. Jesus introduces a judge who obviously did not care about God or about other people. A widow kept coming to this judge asking him to give her justice against her adversary. Of course, the judge was not interested in helping her, but she kept coming back to him, and eventually he gave in just to get rid of her. The judge did not get fed up with her cries for justice the first time that she came to him. Nor the second time. Probably not the third or fourth times either. We are not told how many times of coming back to this judge were necessary before he had had enough, but it was probably several times. The judge realised that this widow was not going to give up until she received the answer that she required. Are we like that with our prayers? If we believe that we are praying for something that God wants to give us, then why do we give up before we receive the answer?

            I had considered that you only need to ask for something once. I mean, “Ask, and it will be given to you.” But the New Living Translation has instead “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” I have experienced times when I knew that the Lord had heard my prayers, and that he was going to give me what I asked for, but they have been infrequent. Right now, I feel that the Lord is encouraging me to keep praying for those people I have been praying for, without seeing any clear response. I will keep praying for blessings for people who seem to struggle so much. I will keep asking for healing for those who are sick. And I do believe that one day my prayers will be fully answered.

Do You Know

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

  

Do You Know

 

Matthew 16:3 KJV

“And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?"

 

Too many of you Cry, Weep, Moan for Jesus to Return. Too many of you Pray, Seek, Prophecy in Jesus Return, being fools among the Church! Too many of You Seek The Welfares Of The Lost to be Saved, when it is You Yourselves that need to be concerned of Your Own Salvation! Whom among you Cry, Weep and Moan for The Church? Whom among you Pray and Seek that The Church would Repent, to Return to their First Love?

 

Nowhere in Scripture are we told to seek for the Salvation of The Lost, except that of an Evangelist. We are told to go into the World and to Preach The Gospel , to Live The Gospel, but Preaching The Gospel is not the same as one Seeking The Lost. But in the Fullness Of Scripture we are told How To Live God’s Way’s, from the very beginning of time to the very end of time, we are told.

 

Yes, we are in a Time that SEEMS that it must be the Time Of Jesus to gather His People, but if you truly understood what Jesus told us of His Coming, you would know that it cannot be now…so then, why pray for His Coming?

 

First we must Understand that No Man, No Woman, No Child, No Angel, Not Jesus, Not The Holy Spirit, No Beast, No One, Nothing knows the Day, Hour, Year of Jesus Coming, except…!!!

 

Matthew 24:36 KJV

“But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

 

The Father is the ONLY ONE who knows when Jesus will return. But we are told of The Season, meaning, what will be taking place in the World Around Us, that it would be like in the Days Of Noah. So then, Understand the Days Of Noah… it was a time that Men, Women and Children did NOT Seek The Father and His Ways, but were consumed with Their Own Fleshly Desires, in so much, that the Entire Earth was in this state…

 

Genesis 6:11-13 KJV

"11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."

 

 1 Peter 3:20 KJV

“Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water."

 

2 Peter 2:5 KJV

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;"

Matthew 24:37-39 KJV

"37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

 

We, Brothers and Sisters indeed are in Times that are not good, but this is just the beginning of what is to come. One of the things, there are more, that must come to pass, is the Persecution Of The Blood Bought. Some will say that it is happening here and there, but, this has been happening since the Time Jesus was Crucified! The Time Of Persecution Of The Body Of Christ will the in the Whole World Across Borders. In this Time, The Blood Bought will be Persecuted from within their own homes, by their own children and it will be to the Death Of Those Who Walk In Obedience, giving Their Lives for the Walk in which They Walk Is Godly, Professing Jesus As Lord, not just Savior.

 

Jesus said that We Must Endure, so then, What Must We Endure? Right now across the World Jesus can still be Preached, Men, Women and Children can still Worship, still Walk In Obedience and not be Killed for it, but there is a Time, a Season coming that We Cannot Do So…Around The World As A Whole!!!

 

Matthew 24:5-8 KJV

"5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows."

 

Jesus said this is JUST THE BEGINNING of what is to come. We are indeed starting to see some of this, but not to the extent that Jesus has said.

 

Matthew 24:9-14 KJV

"9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

 

Matthew 10:16-23 KJV

"16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come."

 

These thing just mentioned have Not come to pass, but need to before Jesus will return.

 

The following Scriptures are happening now, but not to the extent of what Jesus said…

 

Matthew 10:34-36 KJV

"34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household."

 

So then, this message has a dual purpose, one to bring Understanding of What The Time and Seasons will be like when the Time Of Jesus Approaches, secondly that you NEED TO UNDERSTAND that in order for these thing to come to pass, you MUST BE WALKING IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD AND SPIRIT!!! If you are Walking in Obedience to The Word and The Holy Spirit, then the above Persecutions will happen to you, if you are Not Walking in Obedience to The Word and The Holy Spirit, then these things will Not Happen To YOU!

 

Jesus made a Dividing Line to His Coming and it is Not in saying Jesus Is My Savior…

 

Matthew 7:21-24 KJV

"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"

 

Do you NOT UNDERSTAND!!! You can Confess Jesus all that you want, but, if you are Not Walking In Obedience to His Word, to The Fathers Word and The Holy Spirit YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED!!! Jesus will tell those who Walk In Disobedience, to those who Falsely Claim Jesus As Lord Of Their Lives, that HE NEVER KNEW THEM. Our Salvation is not a mere Confessing that Jesus is Savior, but it is the latter part that will also determine Your Salvation, that is, Making Jesus Lord!

 

So then, what does it mean to say that Jesus Is Lord…

 

Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, chief, or ruler.

 

If you do not have a Relationship with Jesus, that is, Jesus IS Your Savior and Your Lord, then you need to Examine Your Life. A Relationship with Jesus is liken unto a Perfect Marriage, between a Man and Woman as Scripture Portrays as such. The Man is Head with the Woman Submitting to The Man in All Things, so like is those who are Truly Saved. Those who are Washed with The  Blood Of Jesus, Jesus is now Their Savior, when We Walk In Obedience To The Word and The Holy Spirit then and only then does Jesus Become Lord.

 

This also means that The Word need not to be Re-Written for the sake of Man, but let us become to what is written at first. I do not need to Change The Word for My Understanding, but I NEED to Change My Understanding To The Word!!! We Need to Become, Become, Become just like Jesus, that He Walked In Obedience To The Father in ALL OF HIS WAYS, so must we also!!!

 

There is still time for you to Examine Your Self and to Weigh Your Self to God’s Word, to His Ways, to Repent. The Age Of The Gentiles is closing, the Time and Season for all of the above Scriptures to come to pass is fastly approaching. There are some who Believe that we will Not Endure Tribulation, for they are liars! Jesus said that we, who Walk In Obedience to Him will go through Tribulation before He Returns. I have seen bits and pieces of such Tribulation, here and there, but, Not the Whole Earth being filled with such things, Jesus will not return until the Whole Earth is in Tribulation. As in the Days of Noah, it was the Whole Earth filled with Sin, no one except Noah and his family Walk Righteously before The Father. Think about that…

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

 

 This means Repent, Turn Away From Sin, Walk In God’s Ways, then and only then will we be Forgiven!!!

 

 Amen and Amen!!!

Causes of Damage to Concrete Saw Blades

  1. Abrasive Materials:Concrete blades are primarily designed for cutting through concrete, which contains abrasive aggregates like gravel and sand. When used on abrasive materials excessively, the blade’s cutting edge can wear down quickly. This wear is often characterized by a loss of cutting efficiency and a reduced blade lifespan.
  2. Overheating:Overheating is a common cause of damage to concrete saw blades. This can occur when the blade is used at too high of a speed or without adequate cooling. Overheating can lead to the blade’s core material softening or warping, causing permanent damage.
  3. Misuse and Improper Techniques: Using the wrong type of blade for a specific task or applying excessive pressure during cutting can lead to blade damage. Blades should be chosen based on the material being cut. Applying too much force can cause the blade to warp, crack, or become dull prematurely.
  4. Foreign Objects:Sometimes, construction sites may have debris or foreign objects embedded in the concrete, such as nails, rocks, or rebar. Hitting these objects while cutting can cause immediate damage to the blade, leading to chipping or breaking of the cutting teeth.
  5. Lack of Maintenance: Neglecting routine maintenance of the saw and the blade can contribute to damage. Blades need to be cleaned, inspected, and sharpened regularly to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
  6. Using Dull Blades: Using a dull blade is not only inefficient but can also cause damage. Dull blades require more force to cut through materials, increasing the risk of overheating and blade wear. Additionally, a dull blade can result in rough and uneven cuts.
  7. Dry Cutting without Water: For wet cutting blades, running them without a proper water source can cause overheating and lead to damage. The water serves to cool the blade and reduce dust, making the cutting process more efficient and safer.

 

Signs of Blade Damage

Recognizing the signs of blade damage is crucial for addressing issues promptly and preventing further damage. Here are some common signs to look out for:

  1. Reduced Cutting Efficiency: One of the initial signs of blade damage is a noticeable decrease in cutting efficiency. The blade may take longer to cut through materials or produce rough and uneven cuts.
  2. Chipping or Cracking:Visually inspect the blade for any visible signs of chipping or cracking along the cutting edge. Even minor damage in this area can significantly affect performance.
  3. Warping: If the blade appears to have a distorted shape, it may be warped due to overheating or excessive pressure during cutting.
  4. Excessive Vibration: Damaged blades often produce more vibration during operation. Excessive vibration can be felt in the handle of the saw and can lead to operator discomfort and reduced precision.
  5. Unusual Noise:Unusual noises during cutting, such as grinding or squealing, can be indicative of blade damage or misalignment.
  6. Inconsistent Cuts: If the blade is creating inconsistent cuts, with some sections of the material being cut more smoothly than others, it may be a sign of blade damage or wear.

 

How to Prevent Damage to Concrete Saw Blades

Preventing damage to concrete saw blades is essential to ensure their longevity and maintain job site efficiency. Here are some effective preventive measures:

  1. Choose the RightSaw Blade: Select the appropriate blade for the material you intend to cut. Different blades are designed for specific applications, such as cutting concrete, asphalt, or masonry. Using the right blade reduces the risk of damage.
  2. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Always follow thediamond tools manufacturer‘s recommendations regarding blade speed, cutting depth, and cooling methods. Adhering to these guidelines helps prevent overheating and blade damage.
  3. Maintain Adequate Water Supply: For wet cutting blades, ensure a consistent water supply to keep the blade cool and reduce dust. Proper water flow is crucial for preventing overheating.
  4. Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Inspect the blade before and after each use. Look for signs of damage, wear, or dullness. Clean thesaw blade regularly to remove concrete buildup and debris. Sharpen or replace blades as needed.
  5. Proper Cutting Techniques: Train operators in the correct cutting techniques to minimize the risk of damage. Emphasize the importance of using a steady and consistent feed rate without excessive force.
  6. Avoid Hitting Foreign Objects: When cutting, be cautious of embedded foreign objects like nails or rebar. Take measures to locate and avoid these obstacles to prevent immediate damage.
  7. Monitor Blade Wear: Keep track of the blade’s wear and replace it when it reaches the end of its usable life. Trying to extend the life of a worn blade can lead to inefficiency and potential damage.
  8. Regularly Inspect the Saw:Ensure that the concrete saw itself is in good working condition. A malfunctioning saw can put extra stress on the blade, leading to damage.
  9. Safety Gear: Provide operators with the necessary safety gear, including eye and ear protection. Safety gear can prevent accidents that could potentially damage the blade.
  10. Proper Storage:When not in use, store blades in a clean, dry, and secure location. Proper storage helps prevent blade damage from exposure to moisture or physical impact.

 

Conclusion

Concrete saw blades are indispensable tools in the construction industry, but they are not immune to damage. Understanding the causes of saw blade damage, recognizing the signs of damage, and implementing preventive measures are essential for maintaining both safety and efficiency on construction sites.

Painted metal surfaces can lose their luster over time, and if you’re planning to repaint them, you’ll first need to remove the old paint. There are many ways to remove paint from metal, but most of them involve harsh chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment. However, there is a natural and effective way to remove paint from metal without using chemicals. In this article, we’ll show you how to remove paint from metal using a wire brush and a few other tools.

 

Why Remove Paint from Metal?

Before we get into the methods of removing paint from metal, let’s discuss why you might want to do this in the first place. There are a few reasons why you may need to remove paint from metal, including:

  1. To prepare the surface for a new coat of paint: If you want to repaint a metal object, you need to remove the old paint first. This ensures that the new paint adheres properly and creates a smooth finish.
  2. To restore the original appearance of the metal: Sometimes, metal objects can look worn and outdated due to the old paint. Removing the paint can help restore the original appearance of the metal.
  3. To remove chipping or peeling paint: If the paint on a metal object is chipping or peeling, it can look unsightly and may need to be removed to improve the appearance.

 

What You’ll Need

Before starting the process of removing paint from metal, you will need to gather a few essential tools. These tools include:

 

How to Remove Paint from Metal without Chemicals

The wire brush method is an effective way to remove paint from metal without chemicals. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Prep Your Workspace

Before you start removing paint from metal, you need to prep your workspace. Remove any furniture, rugs, or other items that could get in your way or become damaged during the process. Lay down a tarp or drop cloth to catch any debris, and make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area.

Step 2: Remove Loose Paint

Using a putty knife or scraper, remove any loose paint from the metal surface. Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from flying debris. Once you’ve removed as much loose paint as possible, use a wire brush to scrub the surface of the metal. This will help to remove any remaining flakes of paint, as well as any rust or other debris.

Step 3: Apply Heat

Using a heat gun or blowtorch, apply heat to the painted surface. This will cause the paint to blister and bubble, making it easier to remove. Hold the heat gun or blowtorch about 2 inches away from the surface of the metal and move it back and forth slowly, making sure to heat the entire surface evenly. Be careful not to overheat the metal, as this can damage it.

Step 4: Scrape the Paint 

Once the paint has blistered and bubbled, use a putty knife or scraper to remove it from the metal surface. Be sure to wear gloves and a dust mask to protect yourself from the fumes and debris. Work slowly and carefully, scraping away the paint in small sections. If the paint is particularly stubborn, you may need to apply heat again to soften it up.

Step 5: Use a Wire Brush to Remove Any Residue

After you’ve removed as much paint as possible, use a wire brush to scrub the surface of the metal again. This will help to remove any remaining bits of paint, as well as any rust or other debris. Be sure to use a stiff-bristled steel wire brush, as this will be the most effective at removing the residue.

Step 6: Clean the Metal

Once you’ve removed all the paint and residue, clean the metal surface thoroughly with soap and water. Dry it off with a clean cloth, and you’re ready to paint.

 

Other Methods for Removing Paint from Metal

While the wire brush method is an effective and natural way to remove paint from metal, there are a few other methods you can try if you’re having trouble with stubborn paint.

  • Sandblasting:Sandblasting is a method that uses a high-pressure stream of sand to blast away paint and other debris from metal surfaces. This method is best used for large, industrial-sized projects and should only be performed by professionals.
  • Grinding:Grinding uses a power tool with a grinding wheel to remove paint from metal surfaces. This method can be effective but requires some skill and experience to use properly.
  • Chemical strippers:While we’re focusing on natural methods for removing paint from metal, it’s worth mentioning that there are chemical strippers available on the market. These strippers contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment, so it’s important to use them with caution. If you do decide to use a chemical stripper, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and wear protective gear such as gloves and a respirator.

 

Conclusion

Removing paint from metal can be a tedious process, but it’s necessary if you want to give your metal surfaces a fresh new look. While there are many methods for removing paint from metal, the wire brush method is a natural and effective way to do so without using harsh chemicals. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can remove paint from metal surfaces safely and effectively, and prepare them for a new coat of paint.

The Small Things

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

  

The Small Things

 

1 Kings 19:11-12 KJV

"11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

 

 Brothers and Sisters are you looking for answers? Have you been Seeking, Knocking and Asking but there SEEMS to be Not the Answer YOU are looking for?

 

We must consider First Things First. What is Your Heart, Your Thoughts, Your Motives in Approaching Jesus. Is it Truly to Seek His Will or it is something that You Want to consume with Your Flesh? Lets look at Elijah’s Heart, Thoughts, Motivations.

 

1 Kings 19:4 KJV

"But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers."

 

Elijah, was Tired, he was Broken, he was Done and in his state of mind, he Requested to The Father to Die. But in his Request he had come to His Own Conclusion that he was no better than the whole of Israel, a sinner, he was a Broken Man In Despair.  Elijah wanted to Die for What had been done in killing all of the prophets. Jezebel sought to Kill Elijah, so Elijah fled a day’s journey for His Life.

 

How many of us have been in a similar situation, that we have done something, said something and because of Our Actions we flee to find solitude from the course of actions we have done. To Seek Jesus for Deliverance, to even Request to Die for such things, such actions we have done or what we Believe will come upon us for such action. Maybe there are those who should be in such a state and are not and has allowed Pride to enter in taking no thought of Actions, Words that we have done or said.

 

But in Elijah’s place where he was at, The Father did not forsake him, but needed him to go even further away from His Enemy. But notice The Father was not going to take Elijah home, but to continue to use him in His Situation.

 

1 Kings 19:5-8 KJV

"5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat. 6 And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. 7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great for thee. 8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."

 

The Father sent an Angle to Provide for Elijah in His Time Of Need, in this case, Food and Water. The Father sent His Angel to Strengthen Elijah for What lied ahead, you must Understand, Elijah had No Idea what lied ahead of him. We must see in this, that Elijah was Obedient and did what the Angel had said, he ate, he slept, he woke up and ate again before His Blind Journey to Horeb. Elijah had no idea what was in Horeb, what he would find, what he would have to do or say, but Trusted The Angel of The Father and Walked in Obedience.

 

Many of you who are in situation that you want to flee…  are you Walking In Obedience? Many of you are in Need For An Answer from Jesus, are YOU Walking in Obedience according to The Word and The Holy Spirit? Many of you want Answers, have Sought For Answers but you are Not Willing to take the Small Steps to get there. Many of you want to do things Your Way, unwilling to Surrender To Jesus in what You Seek Him For. Elijah, was a Surrender Man unto The Father’ Will.

 

Elijah took his journey, we know that he Walked for Forty Days and Forty Nights to reach Horeb. To give you a perspective of how far Elijah Walked In Obedience, it would have been over 600 Miles. Some of you Live in the NOW Attitude, if it does not happen by tomorrow You will find Another Way To Get Your Answer, even if it Sin to do so.

 

When Elijah got to His Destination, he set up camp and again, Waiting For His Answer. We do not know if The Father visited Elijah that Day or Some Days later, but The Father did Speak at a Time Elijah did not Anticapate. Did you catch that, Elijah had No Idea When or How The Father would Answer Him or in fact, did not even know if The Father was going to Answer him, but in any case, Elijah Walked In Obedience.

 

1 Kings 19:9-10 KJV

"9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

 

When The Father approached Elijah, He wanted to know His Heart, The Father wanted to Know Elijah Truly Sought Him in His Situation. Elijah was Open and Honest about what had happened. Some of you need to Truly Seek Jesus with Open Hearts, being Totally Honest about Your Situation, to Release what You Face to Jesus.

 

But notice, Elijah was Very Jealous For The Father, in other words, in All Of Elijah’s World, he Only Sought The Fathers Will for His Life. Elijah had a Passion, an Overwhelming Love For The Father and His Ways. Too many of you Play Church, Play Religious Games, Play To Be Righteous,  for Scripture says to you…

 

Ezekiel 33:31 KJV

“And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness."

 

Isaiah 29:13 KJV

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"

 

Now to the ones who Truly Seek Jesus For an Answer… Be Patient, Wait Upon Jesus to Manifest The Right Answer for Your Situation, but remember that Jesus Answer may not be what You Thought It Should Be!

 

Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

"8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

 

Now that Elijah was Attentive to The Fathers Presence, he Listened For An Answer, for Instructions in What To Do in His Situation. Again, Elijah was told again to do something else without an Answer. Sometimes Our Journey may be long, lonely, feeling you are the only one who’s ever gone through a situation like yours, and Jesus is asking you to take another step of Obedience before an Answer CAN come.

 

1 Kings 19:11-12 KJV

"11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

 

Elijah had to be Obedient, to go Outside His Comfort Zone, Stand and Wait Upon The Father. When Obedience is carried out Jesus will move, but do not fall for a Pop-Up Answer, a False Answer. Elijah had to be in Tune with The Father enough to Know The Fathers Presence in what he was Presented. The Father even though He made the Mountains To Crumble, that the Winds were Strong, that the Earth beneath him Shock, that a Great Fire was set before him, in all of these The Father was NOT Present, but it was in the Quit Still, Small Voice did The Father Speak. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer to Your Situation in a Miracle, that is, Instant Gratification, when there will not be one. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer from a False Prophet who speaks in general, knowing it is not from Jesus. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer in a Big, Enormous Ways and there will be none. Too many of you are Looking for Justified Knowledge, saying, this happened so it must be this way, when it is not. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer that will Take Away Your Situation, that You do not have to Endure any longer, but that is Not The Answer.

 

When You decide to really Want to Hear what Jesus is saying, you will find it is in the Quit Of Your Heart, Your Mind that Jesus can begin to Speak, to give You Direction that deals with Your Situation, but until you do, the Answer Will Not Come. But, Understand this, it starts with Obedience!

 

As Elijah Heard The Voice Of The Father, he Humbled himself before Him. He was Not Rejoicing, he was Not Shouting, he was Not Dancing, he WAS Standing Humble Before The Almighty!!! Elijah found in the Quit Voice of The Father and Answer to take care of His Situation…

 

1 Kings 19:13-18 KJV

"13 And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael [to be] king over Syria: 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy room. 17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him."

 

 Again The Father wanted Elijah to Know His Heart In His Request, in His Seeking an Answer to His Situation, for him to Examine His Situation once again…BEFORE The Answer.

 

Then, The Father knowing Elijah’s Heart, told him to do yet another task…BEFORE The Answer. Elijah had to go to another town to Seek Hazael, King Of Syria and to Anoint him with oil. Then Elijah had to go to another place to find Nimshi and Anoint him as King Over Israel. Then Elijah had to go to another place find Elisha… to Take Elijah’s Place as Prophet. Then and ONLY THEN did Elijah Receive His Answer. But even in the Answer it was Progressive, one thing had to happen before the next one could happen. Sometimes we may have to Wait for things to happen before Our Answer Comes, but it will be in Walking in Obedience and Listening For The Voice Of Jesus To Encourage You, to Strengthen You, to Guide You to The Final Answer for Your Situation.

 

Like Elijah, we need to Understand that we are not alone, that there are others who face similar situations that we do not know of. The Father told Elijah, Elijah you are Not Alone, I have Seven Thousand who Walk In Obedience To Me, even as You Do. This was to Encourage Elijah that His Walk was not in vain, that Elijah needed to Understand that The Father had everything under control.

 

We may Not See or Understand that Jesus Has Everything Under Control as WE Walk In Obedience. That WE Must Trust Jesus as Elijah did with The Father, to Walk, to Endure until The Answer Comes!!!

 

Notice

All The Small Things

Jesus Is Doing

ON

Your Behalf!

 

 

 Amen and Amen!!!

When it comes to woodworking or any other type of material cutting, selecting the right saw blade can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of your work. One critical factor to consider in this decision-making process is the tooth count of the saw blade. The tooth count directly affects the type of cut you can achieve, the speed of cutting, and the overall finish of your workpiece. In this article, we’ll delve into what tooth count means, how to choose the right saw blade for your needs, and address common questions that arise when making this important decision.

Understanding Tooth Count

The tooth count of a saw blade refers to the number of teeth present on the blade. These teeth are responsible for cutting through the material, and their arrangement and configuration influence the characteristics of the cut. In general, the more teeth a blade has, the smoother the cut it produces. Conversely, blades with fewer teeth tend to cut more aggressively but may leave behind a rougher surface.

 

Choosing the Right Saw Blade

Selecting the appropriate saw blade tooth count depends on various factors, including the type of material you’re cutting, the type of saw you’re using, and the desired finish of the cut. Here’s a breakdown of how to make an informed choice:

  1. What Type of Saw Do You Have?

Different types of saws are designed for specific tasks. For instance, a circular saw is commonly used for making straight cuts in lumber, while a miter saw excels at making angled cuts. Table saws are known for their versatility and can handle a wide range of cuts. The type of saw you have will influence the saw blades available to you.

  1. What Material Are You Cutting?

The material you’re working with plays a significant role in determining the appropriate tooth count. For instance:

  • Wood: For general woodworking, a blade with around 24 to 40 teeth is suitable. This tooth count strikes a balance between speed and smoothness of the cut. Blades with higher tooth counts (60 to 80 teeth) are better suited for finer cuts that require minimal sanding.
  • Metal: Cutting metal requires a specialized blade. These blades have fewer teeth (around 14 to 24) with carbide or abrasive tips designed to withstand the rigors of metal cutting.
  • Plastic and Laminate:Blades with high tooth counts (around 80 to 100 teeth) and specialized tooth geometry work well for achieving clean cuts in plastic and laminate materials.
  1. How Thick Is the Material?

The thickness of the material also influences the tooth count choice. Thicker materials require blades with fewer teeth for efficient cutting, while thinner materials benefit from blades with higher tooth counts to prevent tearing and splintering.

  1. What’s Your Desired Finish?

Consider the finish you want to achieve. If you need a smooth, clean cut with minimal post-processing, opt for a blade with a higher tooth count. If speed is more important and surface finish is less critical, a blade with fewer teeth can get the job done faster.

  1. Crosscut vs. Rip Cut
  • CrosscutWhen cutting across the grain, as in crosscutting, a higher tooth count blade (around 60 to 80 teeth) is ideal. It will provide a smoother cut and reduce the chances of tear-out.
  • Rip Cut:Cutting along the grain, or ripping, benefits from blades with fewer teeth (around 24 to 40). This configuration facilitates efficient chip removal and prevents overheating.
  1. Combination Blades

If you’re looking for versatility, consider combination blades. These blades have a mix of tooth configurations, allowing them to perform both crosscuts and rip cuts adequately. They are a good compromise for those who require a single blade for multiple tasks.

 

Questions About Choosing a Saw Blade

427aab4aaf74fe79de9703e6b614abfbc2740c9f.pnghttps://bsptools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片1-350x197.png 350w, https://bsptools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片1-165x93.png 165w, https://bsptools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片1-24x13.png 24w, https://bsptools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片1-36x20.png 36w, https://bsptools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片1-48x27.png 48w" alt="SAW BLADE MANUFACTURER" width="739" height="414" />

Q1: How Many Teeth Does a Saw Blade Have?

The number of teeth on a saw blade can vary widely, ranging from as few as 10 teeth to over 100 teeth. The choice depends on the factors mentioned earlier: material, type of cut, desired finish, and type of saw.

Q2: Can I Use One Blade for All Materials?

While there are combination blades that work well for multiple materials, it’s generally best to use specialized blades for specific materials. Using a blade designed for the material you’re working with will yield better results and prolong the blade’s lifespan.

Q3: How Often Should I Replace My Saw Blade?

The frequency of blade replacement depends on usage and the quality of the blade. Signs that you need to replace a blade include reduced cutting performance, excessive burning, and chipping of the material.

Q4: Can I Sharpen My Saw Blade?

Yes, many saw blades can be sharpened a few times before needing replacement. However, sharpening should be done by a professional to ensure proper tooth geometry and balance.

Q5: Are More Teeth Always Better?

More teeth don’t always equate to better results. For rough, fast cuts, fewer teeth are more effective. More teeth are advantageous for smooth finishes and precision cuts.

 

Conclusion

Selecting the right saw blade tooth count is a crucial step in achieving the desired results for your woodworking or cutting projects. Understanding the material, type of cut, and the finish you want will guide you toward the appropriate tooth count. Remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, as each project is unique. By considering these factors and asking the right questions, you’ll be well-equipped to choose the perfect saw blade for your needs, ensuring optimal performance and impressive results.

A beautifully painted car is a sight to behold. It not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the vehicle but also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements. However, even with meticulous care, imperfections like solvent pops can occur in car paint, marring its appearance. Solvent pops are tiny, crater-like blemishes that can be caused during the painting process. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with these imperfections. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to repair solvent pops in car paint and restore your vehicle’s finish to its former glory.

 

What are Solvent Pops?

Solvent pops are defects in automotive paint that result from the release of trapped solvents or air bubbles during the drying or curing process. They appear as small, circular craters or blisters on the paint surface and can be quite unsightly. Solvent pops can occur for various reasons, including:%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%876-571x400.pnghttps://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片6-768x538.png 768w, https://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片6-600x420.png 600w, https://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片6.png 800w" alt="sandpaper for car" width="370" height="258" data-fr-image-pasted="true" />

  1. Paint Thickness:Applying paint too thickly can trap solvents or air beneath the surface.
  2. Fast Drying:Rapid evaporation of solvents can lead to the formation of solvent pops.
  3. Contaminants:Dust, dirt, or other contaminants on the surface can disrupt the paint’s drying process.
  4. Inadequate Mixing: Incomplete mixing of paint components, such as base coat and clear coat, can result in solvent pops.

 

Tools and Materials You’ll Need

Before you start the repair process, gather the necessary tools and materials:

  • Paint Thinner: Use a high-quality automotive paint thinner for removing the damaged paint.
  • Sanding Materials:You’ll need sandpaper with varying grits, ranging from 800 to 2000.
  • Rubbing Compound: A rubbing compound helps in restoring the paint’s shine.
  • Polishing Compound:This further refines the finish after using the rubbing compound.
  • Wax and Polish: To protect the newly repaired surface.
  • Respirator Mask:Ensure proper ventilation and protect yourself from fumes.
  • Safety Glasses: Protect your eyes from any debris or chemicals.
  • Latex Gloves: Keep your hands clean and safe from chemicals.

 

Step to Solvent Pop Repair in Car Paint

When it comes to restoring your car’s paint finish and eliminating those unsightly solvent pops, following a methodical approach is essential. Here’s how you can begin the repair process:

Step 1: Prepare the Work Area

Start by cleaning the affected area thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or contaminants. You want a clean surface to work on to ensure the best results. Use a mild automotive detergent and water, and then rinse and dry the area completely.

Step 2: Safety First

Safety is paramount when working with automotive paints and solvents. Ensure you’re wearing a respirator mask, safety glasses, and latex gloves to protect yourself from fumes and chemicals.

Step 3: Identify the Solvent Pops

Examine the damaged area carefully to identify all the solvent pops. They may not always be immediately visible, so good lighting is crucial. Mark each pop with a piece of masking tape so you can easily locate them during the repair process.

Step 4: Sand the Affected Area

To remove the solvent pops, you’ll need to sand the affected area. Start with the lowest grit sandpaper (800) and wet sand the area in a circular motion. Keep the sandpaper wet throughout the process to prevent heat buildup and damage to the paint. Gradually move up to higher grit sandpapers (1000, 1500, and finally 2000) until the area is smooth and the solvent pops are gone.

%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%877-800x323.pnghttps://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片7-768x310.png 768w, https://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片7-600x243.png 600w, https://binicabrasive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/图片7.png 1200w" alt="sandpaper for car" width="739" height="298" data-fr-image-pasted="true" />

Step 5: Clean the Surface

After sanding, clean the area again with a mild detergent and water to remove any sanding residue. Dry it thoroughly before proceeding.

Step 6: Apply Rubbing Compound

Apply a small amount of rubbing compound to a clean, soft cloth or foam applicator pad. Work the compound into the repaired area using circular motions. This step helps remove any remaining imperfections and restores the paint’s shine. Keep the surface lubricated with the compound as you work.

Step 7: Polish the Surface

Once you’re satisfied with the results from the rubbing compound, it’s time to polish the surface. Apply a polishing compound using a separate clean cloth or foam pad, using the same circular motions. This step further refines the finish and brings out the paint’s luster.

Step 8: Wax and Protect

To seal and protect the repaired area, apply a high-quality automotive wax using a clean, soft cloth. Allow it to dry to a haze, then buff it to a brilliant shine. Waxing not only protects the paint but also blends the repaired area with the rest of the car’s finish.

Step 9: Final Inspection

After completing all the steps, step back and inspect the repaired area carefully. Ensure that the solvent pops are completely gone, and the paint surface is smooth and glossy. If needed, you can repeat the polishing and waxing steps for an even better finish.

 

Conclusion

Repairing solvent pops in car paint may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools, materials, and a systematic approach, it’s entirely achievable. Taking the time to carefully sand, clean, and polish the affected area can make a significant difference in the appearance of your vehicle. By following this step-by-step guide, you can restore your car’s paint to its former glory and enjoy a flawless finish once again.

Deception Among The Sheep

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

  

Deception Among The Sheep

 

 Matthew 24:24 KJV

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

 

2 Peter 2:1 KJV

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

 

2 John 1:7-11 KJV

"7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."

  

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV

"13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."

 

 Brothers and Sisters we should be on High Alert, for we indeed now Live in the Last Days of the Gentiles, things are manifesting in greater measure, but, we need to understand that there are still many more things that Must Occur before Jesus Comes again. Jesus said that we would Know The Season, but see No One Knows The Day or Hour of His Coming, Not Jesus, Not the Angels, Not Man, Not Satan, ONLY The Father does!!!

 

Matthew 24:36-39 KJV

"36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

 

Understand this, we are in the Most Dangerous Time of All Times, for the time that we are entering, yet have already entered, is the Time Of Deception and a Time Of Persecution. Some will say that we have been in this time, but, up until now, have only been Shadows of What Is To Come. For now, the Time Of Deception is upon us. There is Every Wind Of Doctrine that is in the World right now, All Proclaim that they have the Right Doctrine that all others are lies of a Misconception. If you go into any Denomination in the World a lay Their Doctrine side by side, you will not find one in agreement, yet Scriptures tells us The Right Doctrine to follow. There is a reason I only use the King James Version as the True Doctrine, not those that others use. King James Translation is from The Dead Sea Scrolls, and is the Closes Translation to the Original there is. Some would say, “But, we have a Greater Understanding Now, a Better Translation…”, but the truth of the matter is, they have taken the Original Doctrine and have Manipulated it to be Socially Acceptability. We find in Ephesians that tells us Exactly The Truth Of Sound Doctrine…

 

Ephesians 4:3-6 KJV

"3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

 

 This set of Scriptures alone tells us that the True Body Of Christ is in One Accord, that there is No Denominations, that there is No Other Doctrine, that there is No Other Jesus then The Son Of The Father who was Crucified and Died for Mankind’s Sins and went into Hell, taking the Keys of Death and Hell from Satan and now Sits on The Right Hand Of The Father, being given All Power and Authority!!! For we must Search the Scriptures as the Berea do, seeing if a Word, a Doctrine, even a Person in or out of a Office is Of THE TRUTH, if it is Not Found, then it is a Lie, a Misconception, a Manipulation to get you to Follow a Ungodly Path.

 

Acts 17:10-11 KJV

"10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

 

Too many of you go to a church(Denomination), sit in pews, sing songs, pray and think that you are Righteous because YOU do so, but if you are Following Unsound Doctrine, then All Things that YOU Do and Say are Based on that. So then, if Your Pastor says this, like dumb sheep do you follow!

 

Jesus set up His Offices to make sure that We Follow the Will Of Jesus, the Will Of The Father, the Will Of The Holy Spirit in Our Lives and if followed will lead us into Maturity In Jesus and WE WILL BE IN ONE ACCORD!!! But between Man and Satan all of the Offices have been Destroyed except one, that is, a Pastor, do you not think this is odd? The Pastor is the only Office that Over Sees The Sheep. Why would Jesus set up Offices with Distinct Purposes, that tells us that they are to Lead Us Into Perfection? Satan does not Want Us to be in One Accord, to Serve One Jesus, One Father, having One Word, One Spirit. Scriptures tells us that Satan is out to Kill, Steal and Destroy, so then, he cannot do that to Jesus, he already tried, so who do you think he is out to do this to. It is Not The World who Believes Not, but it is to All Us who Believe in The One True Jesus.

 

Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV

"19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

 

Ephesians 4:10-14 KJV

"10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

 

John 10:10 KJV

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."

 

There are some Doctrine Signs that can help you know if Deception is being Represented, Scriptural Signs. If your Denomination accepts the following things… Women Pastors, Women Apostles, Gay Marriages, Homosexuals(in any name given to them, such as Transgender, Bi-Sexual, Sexual Orientation(switching sexes), Non-Bio, or any other name given, all are under the one heading of Homosexuals), Racism(this is becoming more of a Hidden/Blind area), Feministic Views, that God is both Male and Female, Rising Against The Government(unless it deals with Reading Your Bible, Prayer, Speaking About Jesus, Congregate Together), that Jesus and Satan are Brothers, They Only Believe in the New Testament, Polygamy, Belief In Divorce(not dealing with abuse or adultery), Prosperity, Healing Due To Lack Of Faith, Satan and Demons Do Not Exist, Apostles Were Only The Twelve That Jesus Chose, Science Falsehoods, Social Media, the list goes on. All of these things that are mentioned can be Proven or Disproven by Scripture.

 

Back for just a minute about the Offices. The Apostle and The Prophet are the Builders Of The Foundation in which we are to Live By, with Jesus being the Only Chief Corner Stone to Their Building Of The Foundation. If you Remove the Apostle,  The Prophet, then Remove the Evangelist, laying all the burden upon the congregation, then, WHAT Foundation does the Office of a Pastor Stand On? Why is it that the Pastor follows the Rules Of A Board not Called By Jesus…I do not see in Scriptures, Jesus or anyone else say that THE BOARD will Rule The Church! Why is that a Pastor(which has many different names) is the Only Office that Oversees the Flock and The Sheep Follow Only Him?

 

Ephesians 2:20 KJV

“And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];"

 

See if you get rid of The Apostle and The Prophet, who SETS THE BUILDING OF THE CHURCH and Remove The Evangelist who Preaches The Gospel, then Your Allegiants is to a Pastor of ANY DOCTRINE THAT A BOARD APPROVES and Not Jesus!!! Also, The Offices, are Set By Jesus Only, No Man, No Prophesy, No Laying Of Hands can set any of these Five Offices, that is, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. I was Called, I was Set, only By Jesus, it was not Prophesied by Man, there were No Laying Of Hands, there was No Board, No School, Jesus Only!!! My Calling is an Apostle, with that Calling I was given Strict Direction with many, many Scriptures to verify, but will give you two to tell you …

 

Isaiah 58:12 KJV

“And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."

 

Ezekiel 3:17 KJV

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."

 

There are too many False Doctrines, too many False Apostles, too many False Pastors, too many False Prophets, too many False Evangelist, too many Sheep Falling to Satan’s Hand!! Let those who are Truly Blood Bought HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING!!! !!! !!! If you are going to a Denomination to Please Yourself, to Please Another Person, Because It Always Has Been This Way, or Believe any of the things mentioned above,  then I QUESTION YOUR SALVATION!!!

 

Do you Not Understand that when we Stand Before Jesus, that it will be His Word, His Judgment alone that will let you into Heaven or to be cast into the Lake Of Fire. It Will NOT be a Denomination, a False Doctrine that you have believed, a Scientific Theory, a Prophesy, a Multitude Of Translations, it will be ONLY JESUS and WHAT HE HAS SAID!!!

 

Too many have tried to Modernize The Original Scriptures into What YOU WANT, to Live the way YOU WANT, allowing for such False Doctrine Of Deception to exist!

 

There are many who believe that the United States is a God Fearing Country, this is a Lie straight out of Satan’s Mouth. If the United States or any other country as far as that goes, were a God Fearing Country, then our Society would be under a Theocracy. The United States passes the notion “One Nation Under God” , which is a Lie, the United States and most other countries are a smoldering pot of every religion, every belief under the sun. There is No Godly Country on earth! if we truly were a Nation Under God, then there would be No Political Parties of any kind, just the Rules Of God In Heaven.  Just an example of beliefs of ANY POLITICAL PARTY around the World, you CANNOT BE A TRUE BORN AGAIN, BLOOD BOUGHT, if one Political Party believes in any of the things mentioned above and the other opposes and yet another takes from both sides. Jesus is Not A Split Personality, He does not have One Set Rules for one and the opposite of rules for another. Scriptures tells us that Jesus is the Same, THE SAME, Yesterday, Today and Forever, that means His Way, His Will is THE ONLY ANSWER and what He Wants every Blood Bought on Earth should want the SAME IDENTICAL THING!!! Just to also clarify, The Father and The Holy Spirit want the same thing, Jesus only Spoke and Did whatever The Father Spoke and Did and The Holy Spirit is only going to Speak and Do whatever Jesus has Done or Said! So then, who Set All Things Into Motion, Who Wrote The Doctrine that WE are to Live By, it is The Father, but, and again I say BUT, the ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH JESUS HIS SON!!!

 

Too many of you are so used to Deception, to Manipulation, that you can no longer Discern what is Right or Wrong. Too many of you have Feelings Of Deception because it “Sounds Right…Feels Right”. Even though Our Father made us with Feelings, with Emotions, they are Not what should Guide Us, but it is The Word and The Holy Spirit and those who are Truly Called By Jesus, Anointed By Jesus, Set By Jesus in one of the Offices.

 

Deception Among The Sheep

Are YOU Deceived…

Repent!!!

 

 

Amen and Amen!!!
