Will you be lead or will you be driven

Gods people are lead not driven.Satan drives people by the powers of darkness.He drives them by the power of hate,he drives them by the power of jealousy,he drives them by the power of envey.By these powers he drives men to murder,to steal,and to commit all forms of evil against God.For the battle is between God and satan.Choose ye this day whom you will serve.Will you be lead or will you be driven.

Jesus,The prince of peace

(Rom.5:1)If you dont believe that Jesus Christ is the saviour of the world,and that it was necessary for him to die for our sins that we could be forgiven.You wont have peace with God.Without Jesus Christ man cannot have peace with God.Your sins must be forgiven and covered in the blood for you to have peace with God.Gods forgiveness is greater than the sin.Our sin through Jesus Christ is conquered we are no longer a servent to sin.It only took one time,he was the perfect sacrifice.Jesus spoke these words from the cross "It is finished" because of his sacrifice,because of his blood,because "God so loved" it is possible for man to have peace with God.Oh what a precious gift for the troubled soul and the tormented mind.I never new such peace until I surrendered all to my LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ.I want to share with everyone what God has done for me,and what he can and will do for you ,if you will let him.I may not know your names,but I pray for you always.God knows where you are at this moment, all you have to do is cry out to him and he knows how to deliver and save you.

Live the life

What tells people that you are a Christian? Do you sound a trumpet where ever you go telling everybody that you are a Christian.Do you wear T-shirts declairing that you are a Christian.Or does your life speak loudly of who and what you are.The Bible says you will know a tree by the fruit you see.You may claim to be an orange tree,but when you begin to bear your fruit its clear you are an apple tree.You may fool yourself and some people,but God is never fooled.Dont be a self deceiver.The light of Jesus Christ is ever shining,we dont turn it off and on.If he lives in you it will be evident at all times.There is nothing wrong with T-shirts that bear scriptures or things pertaining to the Bible.But if you are not living the life you become a stumbling block and thats a very serious matter.

Daily Exercise

You must recognize your flesh and the devil.We resist the devil,and we dont give in to the flesh,we say no to flesh.Bringing EVERY thought captive to the obedience of Christ.Bring our bodies,our flesh,our spirit,our souls,and our hearts under subjection to Jesus Christ.Through total surrender and submission to God we will be conformed into his image.Remember Paul said " I Die Daily ".The Holy Bible is the Christians book of instructions,it is the recipie for salvation, and you cant leave out any of the ingredients.If you are a Christian you are one every moment of every day,not just on sunday and wednesday. 1 Timothy 4:8 ,For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,having promise of the life that now is,and of that which is to come.

Buckle up with Jesus

A friend had bought me a little gift,it was a license plate that read,BUCKLE UP WITH JESUS.I had it hanging on the wall in my shop.One day it caught my attintion and this is what I wrote. Buckle up with JESUS morning,night,and noon.Buckle up with Jesus for he is coming soon.Buckle up with Jesus throughtout eternity.There is no safety like him to keep you from all harm.You will never be left wanting in the shelter of his arms.So buckle up with Jesus for he will take you home, to live with him forever never more to roam.For if youve made it to heaven life has just begun.There will be no more battles the victory songs been sung.So buckle up with Jesus for he is coming soon.The trumpet has been sounded it is the word of God.There is no way around it you must come in his way.Humble down before him,repent and be baptized.Then you will see his goodness he will open up your eyes.So buckle up with Jesus there is no other way.Heaven or hell awaite you,the choie is yours to make.So buckle up with Jesus for time is running out,if you miss his calling sorrow is yours no doubt.He is the only Saviour,he is the only way.So buckle up with Jesus for soon it will be to late.

Make your calling and election sure

In,(2Peter 1:10) God said "MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE".Someone might ask,Just how do we do this?Lets look in the book,(THE BIBLE).God has given us every thing we need to make this journey.The Bible is more than just a book it is the holy, infallible, word of God.This book was not written by man,It does not contain mans wisdom,Nor by mans wisdom can the treasures and secrets be found.God only, can reveal his word.Its not the educated scholar that finds God hidden in his word.It is the truly born again Holy Ghost filled childe of God,thats who God reveals himself to.The scripture says,Unto babies who will learn.Not the educated scholar,who is so full of pomp and himself that he cant humble himself before God,we are not anything. The Bible says,"OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AS FILTHY RAGS",just meditate on this,ponder it in your heart to fully grasp what God is saying.God is revealed in his word.From Genesis to Revelation he has given us his words that he has preserved,(PSALMS 12:6,7)
The old and the new from start to finish is all the word of God.It is all profitable,otherwise Almighty God would not have given it to us.First lets look at the true plan of salvation according to the scriptures,(ACTS 2:38)remembering in(MATTHEW 16:18,19)God gave Peter the keys to the kingdom and in (ACTS 2:38) we see those keys unlocking the plan of salvation for every man.Peter said "Repent every one of you".He was not excluding any,but the word was to all.Now remember Jacobs ladder you start at the bottom step and you climb it one step at a time.So is the plan of salvation;step one,repntence,step too,water baptism in JESUS name,step three be filled with the HOLY GHOST.We have to obey every command,and take every step in the order that God has laid out.Remember God is infallible he is NEVER wrong,he NEVER makes a mistake,he knows just what it will take to make it.Hes the one that wrote the book,and hes the one thats provided the plan.God is always looking to help us. He loves us and his desire is that none should perish.But through studying the scriptures we know that there will only be a remnant.Thats why God said"Be diligent to make your calling and election sure.I would encourage anyone who is reading this to get into the scriptures(PRAYERFULLY).The Bible is the book of wisdom,Gods wisdom,and that is what every man needs.Man has drifted so far from God,as the Bible says,"Hes on the outside".Mans theology and doctrine has put the WORD OF GOD,(JESUS CHRST)out.We have lots of whited sepulchres but inside they are full of dead mens bones.The Bible says there is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof is death.We better get in touch with the author of the book.He is the only one that can open up the eyes of your understanding.This wisdom,this revelation does not come out of the schools of theology nor the seminaries.Lets look at Paul,God had to empty him out of all he had learned from Gamaliel and start over,teaching Paul TRUTH straight from glory.Mans wisdom only conflicts with the wisdom of God.God calls preachers and teachers that he places over his flock.But it is the Holy Ghost in them that is the teacher or the preacher.Its not by education but it is by revelation,and revelation of the word of God comes only from the Spirit of God.So how do we make our calling and election sure,Its according to the word of God revealed.Our lives must line up with the scriptures.We will only enter the kingdom Gods way.God said if you try to get up any other way you are a theif and a robber.Remember the one who had slipped into the wedding supper and God said,friend how did you get in here seeing you dont have on the wedding garment(The word of God,We must be clothed in the word)cast him into outer darkness,there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.This is very serious and should not be overlooked or taken lightly,God is not playing he wants us to make it but its up to us,Choose Ye This Day Whom You Will Serve.Some people think,and have been taught,that all you have to do is believe.Believing is only the first step up the ladder we must continue to go forward in our walk with God.God is not dead,he is still leading his people.We must walk in all the light that he shines on our path.That light is the word of God revealed.The scripture says not the hearers only,but the doers of the word.If we believe his word then we will do all he commands.Some people will wrestle the scriptures and this will be to their own destruction.Gods ways are not our ways,He said"Lean not unto thine own understanding but in ALL thy ways acknowledge me and I will direct thy paths".We start out as babies,first we crawl,then we learn to walk,pretty soon we are running.And as David said, I ran through their troops and leaped over their walls.There are troops of well meaning religious people they are kept in by denominational walls.But as God shines the light of revelation on your path like David,you will run through their troops and leap over their walls.This is taking another step up that ladder.In the book of Revelation we see this again in chapter 18 verse 4.When God said,"Come out of her MY PEOPLE."God reveals that her,the woman types the church.Come out of her,"Orginized Religion",that ye be not partakers of her sins,and that ye receive not of her plagues.Again these scriptures are very serious.The orginized church world today has put God out,they have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.They do GREATLY err for they dont know the scriptures nor the power of God.The power of the scriptures is God.It is his infallible,unchangeable,holy word.There is so much in his word that needs our prayerful attintion and devotion.God is willing to lead us if we will ASK,SEEK,AND KNOCK.If we will surrender our whole heart and let God lead we will have real experiences with our Heavenly Father.It wont be just head knowledge,you will experience salvation as God entends his children to.God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think.In closing I would encourage you to search the scriptures for in them you might think you have eternal life,and by the scriptures make your calling and election sure.

PRAYER

Are you a Christian? Do you pray? Prayer is vital to the life of a Christian,I would even say it is the most important part of a Christians life.If we dont pray we dont have a relationship with God.Prayer is a privilege,it is a very precious gift.Not something that should be taken lightly.In prayer we commune with God and he communes with us.Not only is prayer a privilege,but it is a commandment for our good,"WATCH AND PRAY THAT YOU BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING UPON THIS WORLD".Prayer keeps us humble before God,through prayer we stay in check.God reveals things as we labour in prayer.Its through prayer that he can bring someone before you to intercede for what they stand in need of.Through our obedience to pray we see God do great things.The devil will do anything to keep you from praying,even saten knows how vital prayer is to a Christans life.Guard your time with God,put it above everything.Daniel ran an empire but he prayed three times a day.I've done some studys of strong Christians in history and every one of them had a strong and devoted prayer life.Saten wouldent war so hard in this area if it wasent so very important.God said "DRAW NIGH TO ME AND I WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU".Its through prayer and studying of the scriptures that we draw nigh, and he draws nigh.We need God,we need his guidence,we need his instructions.In every aspect of our lifes we need him.Thats why he came, and died ,and rose again,becaue we need him.Brothers and Sisters dont neglect so great a salvation.Draw near to him in prayer keep your mind stayed upon him.This world is evil and full of wickedness.The end is very near.Dont let the devil rob you that you would neglect to pray.God said"Lay aside every weight and the sin that does so easily beset you and run this race with patience".The cares of this life will weight you down,you will be to busy and to tired to pray.Guard your time with God,Take heed when you think your standing least you fall.In prayer we get answers,waite for that answer.The Scriptures say he was found of them that diligently sought him.Be diligent in prayer.The fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.Be fervent, be diligent and waite on God.Those that waite on him,and trust in him for all their needs,We wonte be ashamed and God wont let us down.Stay close in this end time.The enemy is working on every hand to kill,to steal,and to destroy.Therefore Be Fervent,Be Diligent,Redeeming The Time For The Days Are Evil.
