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

Life Storms

1 Peter 5:9 KJV

“Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Brothers and Sisters we are going to face trouble, hardships, pain and suffering in this World that we now Live in, there is No Way around it. There are a few things that we can look at to bring Understanding to our anguish.

The very first thing we need to do is Pray and lift it up to Jesus making Him Lord over the situation, that He may bring some type of Resolution. We Need to let Jesus know of Our Sufferings that we are going through, this is what in part makes Jesus Lord over Our Lives. That when the Storms come, we Call Out to Jesus Our ONLY Savior.

Matthew 8:22-27 KJV

“²² But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. ²³ And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. ²⁴ And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. ²⁵ And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. ²⁶ And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷ But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!”

Brothers and Sisters it does Not Matter what Life Storms you are going through, it does Not Matter if is an Addiction, Child Issues, Health Issues, Marital Issues, Family Issues, Friends, Jobs, Money and the list goes on. Jesus is The Only Answer to what we face and Praise Jesus Our Savior and Lord that we can run to Him Night or Day.

Understand this, that when we Call Upon Jesus we MUST BELIEVE that He is more than able to take care of the Life Storms that we face. Our Faith Must be unwavering.

Hebrews 11:6 KJV

“But 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."

James 1:5-8 KJV

"⁵  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. ⁸ A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways."

When we come to Jesus, He Expects us to Fully Trust Him, having No Debts that He is more than able to get us through Life Storms, but we Must Rest IN Jesus as The Answer, He IS The Solution! We may not see any Hope to Our Resolution, but Jesus knows the Beginning and End of Every Life Storm that we go through and His Work will be to His Glory ALWAYS!

There are times that a Life Storm may be over whelming, seem to get the best of us, that is okay, for that is the Weakness of Our Flesh that is being revealed. We may even fall because of a Life Storm, but it is not necessarily the Fall as much as what you do after the fall. Jesus wants us to come to Him no matter what we face in this World and if we Fall and Run to Jesus as Our Only Savior, He will pick us up once again. There are Pit Falls all around us, we are bombarded hourly, daily. But the one thing is, you cannot stay in that Fall, you Must Seek Jesus, Repent and allow Him to work out the issue that you face.

Brothers and Sisters we are not alone in these Life Storms, it may seem like it, but we are not. You may think that your Life Storm is Unique to you and you only, but know this, there are other Brothers and Sisters who have had to Face these same Life Storms that you now face. It may not be Identical in every aspect, but the same Like Issue will be the same.

1 Peter 5:9 KJV

“Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Now with that being said, Understand this, your Life Storm may be from several issues or for reasons beyond our understanding. We need to know that not all of Life Storms are from the enemy and some are created from Our Own Sins. We need to Understand that if we Disobey The Word, The Holy Spirit then we open doors that should not be open that will allow situations to happen, that should have never happened. It was Not in Our Lord Jesus will for such a Life Storm that you now face.

Isaiah 59:2 KJV

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear."

In this case Repentance is required, but again Understand this, it does not mean that you still will not have to walk through what you are going through until it is finished. It is Restitution for you sin. With that being said this does not mean that Jesus will not help you to Endure what you are facing. In some cases it may be the Rest Of Your Life.

In Our Life Storms, no matter if they are from Sin or just Life itself, we can use it to Glorify Jesus. Our Brother Paul endured many hardships in his life, but in all, he Glorified Jesus.

2 Corinthians 11:18-31 KJV

"¹⁸ Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. ¹⁹ For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise. ²⁰ For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. ²¹ I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. ²² Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I. ²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. ²⁴ Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. ²⁵ Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; ²⁶ [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren; ²⁷ In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. ²⁸ Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. ²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? ³⁰ If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. ³¹ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not."

Our Brother Paul also suffered an infirmity that Our Lord Jesus would Not Deliver him from, that it was used to keep Paul Humble before The Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV

"⁷ And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. ⁸ For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Some of Life’s Storms are to Help others to Understand Jesus Love and Compassions towards them. That they can look from a different point of view other their own that God Does Love Them.

2 Timothy 2:10 KJV

“Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”

Colossians 1:24 KJV

“Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:”

Some times in a Life Storm, we Walk because of Belief and find ourselves in over our heads. We begin to sink into what we would see as a disaster, but when we Call on Jesus and only focus on Him, we can get through any Life Storms that we may face and Jesus will help us though Our Disbeliefs that His Name, Jesus, May be Glorified.

Matthew 14:28-32 KJV

"²⁸ And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. ²⁹ And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. ³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? ³² And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased."

 Life Storms are going to happen, but we who are Blood Bought by Jesus have an Answer, have Help. Jesus is more than able to Deliver Us from any of Life’s Storms, but we have to Trust Him and Obey Him in doing so.

Amen and Amen!!!

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

 Trinity Plus One

 Brothers and Sisters too many of you Believe and have Confessed that The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are One Entity, but this is incorrect. There is The Father who started Life while Jesus was present and The Holy Spirit did the work. The reason of this message is to Understand that what we Believe and Say may not be correct.

Genesis 1:1 KJV

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

When we use the word God it is in the Plural, meaning we are addressing all three at one time. In this you are not speaking to The Father or Jesus or The Holy Spirit as independent of each other, but combining them as One. We know by Scripture that there are Three Independent Individuals, they are The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit making the Dynamics of God.

Too many think that when they Pray to The Lord, that it also includes The Father and The Holy Spirit, but we know that this is incorrect. When we Pay to The Lord it is to Jesus whom has become Our Lord over our Lives.

John 14:6 KJV

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

I am sorry to disappoint, but, we cannot even approach The Father, we Must go through Jesus. The Father has turned everything over to His Son Jesus except one thing… Jesus cannot come back until The Father tells Him that He Can.

Matthew 24:36 KJV

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

John 16:28 KJV

“I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

If The Father and Jesus where the Same Person then WHY does Jesus say that only The Father knows when His Return will be? WHY does Jesus say that when He Ascended into Heaven that He was go back to The Father? WHY when Jesus was Baptized did The Father Audibly saying This Is MY Son?

Matthew 3:16-17 KJV

"¹⁶ And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: ¹⁷ And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

In this One Instant we see Trinity, we hear The Father speaking, we see The Holy Spirit Descending and we see Jesus being the focal point.

We need to have this Understanding, that Yes, The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are One in this matter, They all three Agree In One Accord. To further this Understanding why would Jesus say that He ONLY did What He SEEN His Father Do…

John 5:19 KJV

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."

John 5:30 KJV

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

Jesus made a Distinction between Himself and The Father. Else, God is crazy! With some of you who Believe that Jesus and The Father are the same person would be insane, in all the Scriptures thus far, it would mean that Jesus was a lunatic, looking at Himself to what He says and does? That Jesus came from Himself and will return back to Himself?

NO God is Not Crazy, nor is Jesus Our Lord a lunatic!!!

Now for The Holy Spirit, whom is a part of Godhead. Jesus made the Distinction between The Holy Spirit and Himself.

John 5:19 KJV

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."

Jesus, asked The Father to send The Holy Spirit, again Trinity is proven having Distinct Identities, one from the other. Furthermore, The Holy Spirit will Not Speak of Himself, but only those things that Pertain To Jesus.

John 16:13-15 KJV

"¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."

The Holy Spirit Distributes Power and Authority to do The Works Of Jesus and The Father. For all the Gifts, All of the Anointing, All of the Works are through The Holy Spirit, Jesus having Authority over such things.

1 Corinthians 12:4 KJV

“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."

We need to Understand this Distinction in Our Lives, for each has Their Own Part concerning Our Lives. For The Father Loves His Creation so much that He, He, He, The Father, SENT HIS, HIS, HIS Son to be Our Punishment For OUR Sin!!!

John 3:16-18 KJV

"¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ 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."

Now for the Plus One.

When we Walk In Obedience we Become One with The Godhead, The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. When we truly give Our Lives to Jesus as Savior and Lord, then we become One with the Godhead, even as they are and should be in every part of Our Lives.

When we Walk in Obedience, then we Love Jesus, The Father who sent Him and The Holy Spirit that keeps us, teaches us, guides us. When Walking in Obedience then Jesus and The Father will come, together to us, with The Holy Spirit, making Trinity Plus One…

John 14:23 KJV

“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."

Now, we being the Plus One, Walking IN Obedience, can Ask Jesus for our Needs, NOT Our Greed’s, but those things that pertain to His Will and Jesus will Supply.

John 14:12-15 KJV

"¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it]. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments."

 Understand this, that The Godhead wants us to be One With Them, that The Four will be One In All Things. That we Seek Not Our Will’s in this World, but only Seek The Will of The Godhead, making Us One.

We need to Understand these Distinctions, as well of Whom You Call Lord. Which is another teaching in itself. The World is moving to a Non-Binary God, both Male and Female being one in the same, we, Brothers and Sisters can not fall into this trap. The Godhead is Male, Masculinity, this is a fact and will never be changed. Our World is getting farther and farther from The Truth and are making up their own Reality on a Day-By-Day bases.  We need to be aware of whom We Serve, the Distinction, so that we may be Distinct From The World!

Amen and Amen!!!

☀️ Good morning!

May your day be filled with the love and joy that comes from knowing and trusting in God. Remember, with Him all things are possible. Have a blessed day!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." - Bible Verse 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

As Christians, we are called to love one another, just as God loves us. In today's verse, we are given a clear picture of what love should look like. Love is not just an emotion, but it is also an action that we need to choose daily.

Love is patient, even when we don't feel like it. Love is kind, even when we are hurt or wronged. It does not envy or boast, but instead, it rejoices in the success of others. Love does not dishonor others or seek to only serve oneself. It is not easily angered and it does not keep a record of wrongs.

Let us strive to show love to those around us in the same way that God has shown love to us. Let us choose to be patient, kind, humble, and selfless. May we reflect God's love in our words and actions today and always.

Black iron fittings come in a variety of types and configurations, each designed for specific purposes and applications. By understanding the different types of black iron fittings, you can choose the appropriate fitting for your plumbing or industrial needs. Here are some common types of black iron fittings and their uses:

Black Iron Elbows: Elbows are fittings that allow for directional changes in plumbing or piping systems. Black iron elbows are available in different angles, such as 45 degrees or 90 degrees. They are commonly used to redirect flow around obstacles, create bends, or connect pipes at corners.

Black Iron Tees: Tees are fittings that have a T-shaped design, allowing for the connection of three pipes at a 90-degree angle. Black iron tees are used to create branch connections in plumbing systems, where a single pipe splits into two separate pipes. They are often used in industrial applications, water supply systems, or for creating intersections in pipelines.

Black Iron Couplings: Couplings are fittings used to connect two pipes of the same diameter in a straight line. Black iron couplings are threaded on both ends, allowing for easy installation and removal. They are commonly used to join pipes together or extend the length of a pipe in plumbing systems.

Black Iron Unions: Unions are fittings that provide a removable connection between two pipes. They consist of three parts: a nut, a female end, and a male end. Black iron unions are used in applications where periodic disconnection and reconnection of pipes are required for maintenance or repairs.

Black Iron Caps and Plugs: Caps and plugs are fittings used to close off the ends of pipes. Black iron caps have female threads and are used to seal the end of a pipe permanently, while plugs have male threads and can be removed or inserted as needed. Caps and plugs help to prevent the flow of fluids or gases and protect the integrity of the system.

Black Iron Bushings: Bushings are fittings used to connect pipes of different sizes. They have a threaded female end and a threaded male end of different diameters. Black iron bushings are used when the size of the pipe needs to be reduced or increased, allowing for a smooth transition between different pipe sizes.

Black Iron Reducers: Reducers are fittings used to connect pipes of different diameters. They have one end larger than the other, allowing for a reduction in pipe size. Black iron reducers are commonly used to adapt to different pipe sizes and facilitate the smooth flow of fluids or gases in plumbing systems.

Black Iron Crosses: Crosses are fittings that allow for the connection of four pipes at right angles. They have a plus (+) shape and provide multiple branching connections in plumbing or piping systems. Black iron crosses are used when multiple pipe lines need to intersect or split into different directions.

Black Iron Nipples: Nipples are short lengths of pipe with male threads on both ends. They are used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend the length of a threaded pipe connection. Black iron nipples are commonly used in plumbing systems or for creating extensions in industrial piping.

It's important to note that these are just a few examples of the types of black iron fittings available. Other specialized fittings, such as crosses, valves, reducers, and more, are also commonly used in specific applications. Understanding the different types of black iron fittings and their uses will help you select the right fitting for your specific plumbing or industrial needs.

In the latter part of Psalm 40, David tells us that we can be filled with joy and gladness in the Lord. He also tells us how can we experience them. What is the difference though between joy and gladness? Click on the link below to find out. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Psalms #worship

The Great Pearl

Matthew 13:45-46 KJV

“⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: ⁴⁶ Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."

Brothers and Sisters, many times has these verse implied that it is Jesus seeking us as the Pearl, but let us turn this in another direction. Jesus is the Great Pearl that we have found through the Grace and Mercy of The Father and the Love Jesus has for His Father. When we come to Accepting Jesus, we must give of ourselves completely in submission to Jesus As Savior and Lord over our lives!

There is nothing that can be compared to Jesus that is in this world, for He is One Of A Kind. Just as the merchant sold All That He Had to buy just this One Great Pearl, so must we Give Our Lives in such a manner. For we are all Debtors that can never repay the price that Jesus Gave to allow us to be Saved By His Grace and Mercy, given of The Father.

Jesus says that we Must seek Him as the Widow that lost one of her coins…

Luke 15:8-10 KJV

"⁸ Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find [it]? ⁹ And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and [her] neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. ¹⁰ Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

To all of the things that are on this earth that We Find as Good, Precious, Valuable is in No Comparison to the Value Of Jesus. There is No Object, No Job, No Amount of Money, No Friend, No Family Member that can Compare to Jesus! In our acceptance of Jesus as Savior, then we should have been taught the First and Greatest Commandment, that is, to Love Jesus in the Entirety Of Our Lives!!!

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 KJV

"⁴ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD: ⁵ And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

Matthew 22:37-38 KJV

"³⁷  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment."

Mark 12:29-30 KJV

"²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment."

Luke 10:27 KJV

“And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

Too many forget the First Commandment but remember the Second Command with Pride…

Matthew 22:39 KJV

“And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Too many will bend over backwards to fulfill the Second Commandment, not realizing they have left Their First Love. Too many trade there places and say that they do the things they do for the Love Of Jesus, but see this is incorrect thinking, wrong teaching. Jesus, is equal to The Father in All Ways, demands that He comes First before anything else in Your Life, even before the Lost, the Needy, the Broken Hearted, the Sick and anything else that You would put First!

Exodus 20:3-5 KJV

"³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me. ⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: ⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;"

 Do not think that I am ignorant, for yes these verses deal with the Idol Worship that they had been exposed to in Egypt, but there are some points that need to be extracted about Jesus. First, we should have No Other Gods, which includes anything that we put First in our lives that is upon this earth, we are Not to Bow Down, be in Controlled Of, by these things. Second thing that has Not Changed is, Jesus is a Jealous God. He wants you all to Himself and Jesus to All Of Your Self in All Things. How do we know this?

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

John 10:30 KJV

“I and [my] Father are one."

Jesus should be The Great Pearl in Your Life. He should be The First Thing you think of when you wake up and the Last Thing you think of at the end of your day. Jesus should be in Your Thoughts throughout your day in all that you do or say. Jesus should be the First and Last of everything that touches your life.

How far is this to go one might ponder? Jesus says that if we Find Our Life here on earth, then when all is said and done at the Judgment Seat, we will Lose Our Lives.

Matthew 10:39 KJV

“He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

Matthew 16:25 KJV

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

We are to be in a Continual State of Desire For Jesus and His Ways. We Must Love Jesus enough to Change from the Inside Out, that is, without Works, it begins in The Heart, The Mind, The Soul and is Manifested in Our Strength. Jesus wants the Complete You, but it Must start with making Jesus The Great Pearl Of Your Life!

 1 Chronicles 16:11 KJV

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually."

 Psalm 105:3 KJV

“Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD."

  Hebrews 11:6 KJV

“But 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."

 Jesus will Not Accept being Second Place to anything or anyone, He Expects us to PUT Him First in All Things. What does this mean? It means that no matter what I Do or Say My First Action, My First Thought is Jesus. No matter the situation, how good or bad it is, Jesus has to be First!!!

Jesus is the Greatest Pearl that we can purchase and the purchasing is the Price Of Your Life and Jesus is Expecting Full Price, anything less is Not Acceptable!!!

We can go to a church (denomination) and Not Be The Church. We can help a million people and Not Be The Church. We can sing a million songs and Not Be The Church. Being The Church Requires Jesus to be First, which means Obedience To His Word and The Holy Spirit MUST be First after the Purchasing Price. The Scriptures tells us that we Must First Love The Lord with All of our Minds, All of our Soul, All of our Hearts these are all Internal and then to Love The Lord with All Of Our Strength in Walking Out His Word through The Power and Authority Of The Holy Spirit.

Many of you need to Put Jesus on the Throne once again, to make Him Your First Love. It begins with Repentance, asking for Forgiveness for Not Making Jesus the Greatest Pearl Of YOUR LIFE! That you have made Him second place!! To make Jesus Your Greatest Pearl, you Must Surrender All Of Your Will, Desires to Him, even when Darkness may be surrounding you, Jesus has to be First!!!

The Pearl Of Great Price,

Is Jesus!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

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

Lost Generations

Ephesians 6:13-19 KJV

"¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; ¹⁹ And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,"

Brothers and Sisters, Blood Bought, Born Again, many like to quote the above Scriptures, but many do not Walk in this Armor, but rather Claim it, not use it. Because of Not Walking the above Scriptures, many Generations have been Lost, turned over to Satan’s Will, being ignorant of what has taken place. They turn to The World for Answers and The World Answers them, Teaches them, Comforts them into Submission. Who do we have to Blame?

Because of the Great Divide that is within The Church, because of False Doctrine being Taught within The Church, because of a Lack Of Godly Convictions, because of Hypocrisy The World fears Not Our God, fears Not Our Walk, fears Not of Our Speech, but uses such things against us because of a Lack of Commitment, a Lack of Tenacity, a Lack of True Love For Jesus!

The above Scriptures is the garments of a True Believer, but these garments are what should be worn on the Inside, reflecting Outwardly for all to See and Know. We have an Enemy that we are to be fighting against day in and day out, twenty four hours, seven days a week are we to be at war against Satan and his evil life styles.

Because of the Lack of Accepting, Doing and Teaching the above Scriptures, it has caused Lost Generations, countless Lives that Satan has won over because he uses the very Word Of God in doing so. Not that he follows, because he does not, but because he can use The Word Of God to weigh Darkness to Light that is within us!

Younger Generations have No True Examples, but have been left into the care of The World and Satan to Teach them what is Right or Wrong, making Light into Darkness and Darkness into Light, OH what a wicked Generation we now live in and it is Our Faults!!

Isaiah 5:20 KJV

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

The Great Divide is because of Man’s Ideology and Satan’s Will, that Man has Not Believed God and His Word, but have taken on to themselves Their Own Teachings to Satisfy Their Flesh. For the Old have lost courage to stand and the child has lost Hope In Jesus. For we are told in Scripture that the Old Godly Men and Women are to Teach the younger HOW TO LIVE, but where have they gone? Because of a Lack Of Godly Change, they themselves are swept away in heresy, finding themselves outnumbered by endless Grey Lies.

The Godly Men and Women have been given a Mandate to Teach the Younger Generation How To Live…

Titus 2:1-8 KJV

"¹ But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: ² That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. ³ The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ⁶ Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. ⁷ In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, ⁸ Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you."

Let the Old Man that is Godly according to Scripture and Jesus, not by mankind, rise up, taking to themselves the Young Man and Teach him God’s Holy Ways, to Live God’s Ways, to Become as God’s Perfect Will in Life. Old Men, be Examples to those who know not how to Live, how to Love, how to Walk Godly in all things. By doing so you will have saved many Generations.

Let the Old Woman that is Godly according to Scripture and Jesus, not by mankind, rise up taking to themselves the Young Woman and Teach her God’s Holy Ways, to Live God’s Ways, to Become as God’s Perfect Will in Life. Old Women, be Examples to those who know not how to Live, how to Love, how to Walk Godly in all things. By doing so you will have saved many Generations.

Understand this, again, UNDERSTAND THIS! The church (denomination) was not intended to be the Teacher, but the Instructor, but YOU ARE by Example, showing Generations how they are to Live Godly. The Church is to show The World God In Us, through The Sacrifice of Jesus Our Lord and Savior by Living Godly Lives! Too many of you depend upon a church (denomination) to Teach the Younger Generations how to Live, but they are not. You can go through all of the spiritual citations on what the church (denomination) requires to be acceptable as a “member”, but that is Not Godly Living, that is Independent Social  Living, Club Living, Ritual Living, Not Godly Living!!!

Understand this Church, that the Younger Generations DO NOT TRUST US, because many of you are liars, cheaters, idolaters, worldly. When they stand You up next to someone who is Not Saved By Grace, they see, nor hear any difference between the two, except that one goes to a church.

We Live in a Generation that says we Can Not Stand Up for what is Right or Godly, that we Must Comply by Societies Rules. But see, that is the problem, we are Not To Live by the Worlds Standards, but by God’s Standards, even unto Death! Too many of you have stopped Living Godly and now Live Ungodly as the World does. We stand back and allow Racism, Rapist, Murders, Homosexuals (all kinds, with different names), Unlawful, Adultery, Idolaters, tell  those of us who Belong to Jesus, how to Live. We have Accepted, Tolerated, Ignored the Ungodliness believing it is Not Our Problem, but God’s… WHO do you think you are!!! Was it Not Jesus who was Crucified for Your Sins? Was it Not Jesus who gave you a New Life to Bear Witness from an Ungodly Life to a Godly Life? Were we Not Given The Holy Spirit to Teach us How To Live Godly? Were we Not Told that if we are Friends with the World, then we ARE The Enemies Of God? Were we Not Told that we Must Endure In Godliness until Death do we part?

Brothers and Sisters we have no excuse, but only that which is pleasing to the flesh. I often think of the following Scriptures…

Matthew 24:35-41 KJV

"³⁵ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 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. ⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴¹ Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

 Just by looking at these Scriptures makes one ponder the Generations that will be lost, cast into the Lake Of Fire if the Godly Men and Women do not Stand. Adding to the above Scriptures how treachery, how deep this goes…

Matthew 10:34-39 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. ³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

 Yes, the Lost Generations is in part Their Choice, but What Choices have we left them with? What Examples have we been to them? Have we Stood In God’s Holy Word, Uncompromised, or did you buckle under Ungodly Pressure? Too many of you Think that “Each To Their Own” attitude, but do you Not Understand that You Will be Judged according to How You Lived and even to the one’s you led astray by Your Actions or Words?

When we Stand before Jesus there will be No Excuses, those who are of Old will be Judged more harshly because we know. I long to hear the Words Of Jesus say, Enter In MY Good and Faithful Servant. This means that I have Lived according to His Word, that means I was an Example to those around me to Live Godly Lives, that means I Lived Unto Death Serving Jesus AS LORD OVER MY LIFE!!! I do not want to hear Jesus say, that I was not a Good Example to those I was around, even though I know of some I was not.

The Lost Generations are looking for Truth, for Examples on How To Live their Lives, they are confused by all of the lies that surround them. This reminds me of a time when I owned a landscaping company and was doing work for another company. I had become closely associated with one of the owners in so much they wanted me to do work at their home. After a few months, I bared witness that Jesus was my Lord and Savior, because they asked why the name of my company was “God Created Landscaping”. After a short conversation the owner said that if they had known that I was a “Christian” they would not have hired me because they said that ALL CHRISTIANS ARE LIARS! Here was a person that had been shown Examples Of Jesus As A Lie, that Christians were liars and could not be trusted. Praise Jesus I was a Good Example to this person and they now have No Excuse. But how many of you have been poor examples to your wife, children, neighbors, friends, co-workers, bosses, even those whom you know not were watching you. Did you through them to the Lost Generations?

Yes, Jesus will sort it out in the end, but what will He say about you? Can Jesus go down through Your Life Line and say that you were a Faithful Servant or will He Judge you harshly because you were not a Faithful Servant?

Think about what your Actions and Words say to the Generations After You. Jesus is Watching…

Amen and Amen!!!
