No matter what the cost, we must reach the lost.

Paul's life is a great example for us, he was faithful to the end. He was willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel.

 We need to ask ourselves, are we willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel?
Here is a scripture that we never hear preached today.

 Jesus is making a point that we must give up all our old life to follow Him.

 Luke 14: 33
So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple.

 Beloved, we must be willing to let go of the old life and live in the newness of the Spirit. 

 Dying to ourselves is not easy, but little by little as the Holy Spirit works in us, we can let go and trust Jesus with our life.

 Are we at the place in our walk with the Lord, that we are willing to forsake all of this old world and what it has to offer?

 Psalm 101:1-4
I will sing of the mercy and justice to You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh when will You come to me?  
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;  I hate the work of those who fall away;  It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me.

 Are you willing to stop viewing things that you know that the Lord would not like? and tell the perverse spirit to go?

 If you fill your heart and mind with the worlds junk, trash, it will cause you to fall away and will open the door for the enemy to bring pain into your life from the perverse spirit. (Read God's word it is plain)

 Instead fill your heart and mind with the word of God, that's where you will find all the answers you will ever need. 
Peace for your mind, joy for your spirit, and love unending.

 Beloved, are you willing to let go of the world and all it offers, and not to think you are better than others, but you sure better be different as Christians, from those that love this old world and all it offers.

 We are to use things, not love them!

 1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in this world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing away and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

 The will of God is to receive Jesus, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and become a true disciple.  
Reaching this dark old world with the light of Jesus.

 Love people in the world, but do not be like them.
Draw them from the darkness, into the light of hope, salvation, healing and a prosperous life in the Lord.

 God will prosper you as He sees that you are His and faithful in your giving to the work of the gospel.

 He will teach you to be a great giver for the kingdom of God. When you are faithful in little, you can expect much.

 God prospers us so that we can be a blessing, it is not to hoard it to ourselves. But to be a great giver just like our heavenly Father is.

 Beloved, are you willing to forsake all? Ask yourself this question. Are you serving God or the spirit of Mammon?

 Matthew 6:24 (Jesus speaking)
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.  

 You cannot serve God and Mammon. (Riches)
Beloved, search your heart, has mammon taken hold, or is Jesus first in your life?

 God bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
