We welcome ALL the stories of your Inspirational Lives!

Every Time!
By Joanne Lowe

“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” - Matthew 18:21, 22, King James Version

Have you ever heard a parent say to a child “You told me five minutes ago that you wouldn’t do that any more and you just did it again”? Have you ever said that to your children? I think if we will listen with our hearts we will hear Jesus saying to us “You told Me you wouldn’t do that again but you just did it”.

No matter how many times we fail Jesus and hurt Him, if we tell Him that we’re sorry and ask Him to forgive us, He is faithful to forgive us. If the Saviour of the world forgives us every time we hurt Him, how much more we should forgive those who hurt us.

How dare we ask God to forgive us if we are not willing to forgive those who hurt us. We need to remember that none of us are perfect. There was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His name is Jesus. He never sinned one time yet He died for our sins.

If we want our families and friends to forgive us, we had better forgive them. No matter how many times they hurt us, we need to forgive them. Do you forgive from your heart or do you just tell them that you forgive them? Are you only giving them lip service?

May God have mercy on us if we are harboring unforgiveness in our hearts. Heavenly Father, please forgive us for hurting You and for not forgiving those who hurt us. Help us to forgive from our hearts and not just give them lip service. Thank You. Amen.

Willful Disobedience
By Gina Hendrix

The original sin. One that is within each of us, to all our dismay, the very one that can be tracked back to Adam himself – is alive and well.

Let me tell you a story. It started with a question from my husband, “What do you suppose ‘the sin of the world’ means as it appears in the Gospel of John?” (The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. – John 1:29) My first reaction was “prideful disobedience”. He reacted with a ‘Hmmmm, okay”.

Of course we could not let that just hang in the air. A lively discussion soon followed. I lovingly refer to these conversations as ‘talking God’. We started first with the definition of sin, which is ‘a transgression of the law’. So, the ’sin of the world’ is a transgression of the law. But what exactly was transgressed? My ADD mind took off in all directions pondering what exactly is willful disobedience.

In the garden, Eve was beguiled by the serpent. Adam was not beguiled. Adam took of the fruit in ‘willful disobedience’. Unlike Eve, Adam knew his one and only instruction from God (But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die – Gen2:17), and willfully disobeyed. So, ‘the sin of the world’ can be factored down to one description – ‘willful disobedience’.

After our discussion, I continued to ponder sin and track it back to willful disobedience. It is said that once the Lord reveals something to you, a trial is soon to follow. This, of course, is to determine if you truly did learn what was revealed.

Sure enough, the next day I was presented with a choice to either willfully disobey or not. Or, perhaps it was that my senses were now keenly aware of this ‘willful disobedient’ thing and I was sensitive to every new occurance of it.

What happened? What were these opportunities I faced that caused me to consider willful disobedience? Two things, two times when I really wanted something and was denied the thing in obedience to God.

The first time was the next day. My favorite author had just released a new novel, one I anxiously awaited. This author was my favorite because I had held him in high regard for some time specifically because he was a Christian fiction author who chose NOT to use profanity in his work.

You see, I am allergic to profanity. If I allow myself to hear or read it, that same profanity will break out in my conversations like a poison oak reaction.

I was getting into this novel, great story, great writing – then, I read profanity. At first, I looked over it and thought, it is not so bad, not a big deal. When I read the profanity the second time, I realized that if I continued reading this novel, I would be in willful disobedience.

And then, of course, I got mad.

Who was I mad at? The author, nope – if he was a believer, God knows how to deal with his children. My behavior, nope – I had stopped reading the book, I was being obedient. God, yep – I was mad because I really, really wanted to read this novel, but God wouldn’t let me.

The next trial came at home that evening. I was home from my day job, all my household chores were done, and was looking forward to working on the computer (perhaps even blogging this great revelation), and my husband wanted to talk.

Strange, huh? But not just talk. He wanted to talk God – my favorite subject.

I found myself distracted because I didn’t want to engage in the conversation. I wanted to empty my mind and blast away at the author, but something inside me said ’submit to your husband and listen’. Again, it was my own prideful willful disobedience rearing its ugly head.

If I can take any solace in this recent revelation and the exams that followed, it is this – that I am not alone in encountering these new things about God. I am not his only child. And suddenly, my mind goes back to the Psalms 119:71 “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes”.

Our Flesh Is Weak!
By Joanne Lowe

“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 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.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, King James Version

One of my favorite songs is “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”. The author of the song is unknown. These words are so precious to my heart. “I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong; I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk, let me walk close to Thee”. It should be the heart’s cry of every Christian to walk close to Jesus.

The pain from the arthritis in my arms, legs, feet and back is getting worse and my flesh is getting weak. How thankful I am to know that when I am weak, Jesus is strong. Without Jesus, I could do nothing. He is the reason I get out of bed and He is every breath that I take. He is my all in all and the Sonshine of my heart.

Eva Mae and Mylon LeFevre wrote a beautiful song that describes how I feel “Without Him I Could Do Nothing”. O how I love this song! “Without Him, I could do nothing. Without Him, I’d surely fail. (Think about it.) Without Him, I would be drifting like a ship without a sail”. Thank God that Jesus is my lifeboat in the midst of turmoil, weakness and heartaches.

If your flesh is weak and you don’t think you can take another step or give another smile, allow Jesus to pick you up and carry you. He will be faithful to carry you through all the valleys of your life. Aren’t you glad we have a Saviour who really loves us and cares about us!

The Christian Attempt To Hide The Gospel
By Hanna Henderson

It's becoming increasingly popular for Christians who share their faith with others to attempt to make the gospel more appealing by "repackaging" it with something else. That something else may range from the display of magic tricks to tributes to the late Elvis Presley. The mainstream message of America's churches advertised on billboards emphasize to viewers the promise of visiting a church who's worship service is definitely not the usual.

Many people who are not anti-Christian refuse to visit their local churches for various reasons. Some of them are very good ones. Among those reasons is a total lack of spiritual fulfillment as the church continues to fail to effectively address the real problems people are facing. Instead of examining oneself to discover why the church is without answers and spiritual power, Christian leaders persist in altering the gospel to make it more appealing.

What does such behavior say about the God of Israel? Is he so boring that he must be "dressed up" before being presented to others? Is the gospel of Jesus so unpopular that no one will listen to it unless it's first "spiced up" with something else?

Finally, one may ask if such a method is effective in drawing the people to the gospel? The answer to such question would be positive if one only considers the increased number of parishioners that some churches reap from their campaigns. However, the answer is negative if one considers the increasing violence and ungodliness that now plague America. While some churches may be filling up with members, most of those members are not being filled up with the Spirit of Christ who came to destroy the works of the devil (KJV, 1 John 3:8). Consequently, such works are allowed to flourish.

Nicky Cruz, the author of "Run Baby, Run", a best-selling autobiography, shares his testimony of how God saved him from life on the streets as a member of a most ruthless gang. He recounts how the gospel was presented to him. It wasn't "sugar-coated", it wasn't "fixed", nor was it disguised. It was the gospel of Jesus in full power which rescued him from a wretched life. It was the gospel that was presented according to biblical instruction which tells the Christian to simply present the full gospel message of Jesus and let him do the rest.

The scripture of St. John 12:32 records Jesus saying, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Why do so many Christian leaders continue to hide the one that is to be lifted up?

Hell is a Real Place
By Joanne Lowe

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Revelation 1:18, King James Version

We don’t like to talk about people going to hell. However, unless the blood of Jesus is applied to our hearts for the forgiveness of our sins we are going to go there. Hell is a real place just as Heaven is a real place. Knowing that our loved ones are going there if they are not saved should cause us to cry out to God and ask Him to bring them to Jesus.

Many years ago before I was saved, when I lost my temper and was very angry at someone I would say to the person “Go to hell”. When I think about saying that to people, I am ashamed and embarrassed. However, I was not saved and did not realize that hell is a real place. I have asked God to forgive me for saying that terrible thing.

God was very gracious and forgave me but the words that I said can never be unsaid. We need to be very careful what we say to people because the cruel words that we say are like a sharp arrow that lodges deep in their hearts. May God have mercy on us and forgive us if we are saying cruel words that discourage and hurt one another.

How thankful I am that because of the blood that Jesus shed on the cross of Calvary when He died for my sins that I have the assurance that I will spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus. Do you have the assurance that you will spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus? You will either go to Heaven or to hell. Where are you going?

A Word of Encouragement
By Amma Syncletica

Sometimes, in the midst of our suffering, we don’t need to read another long article on how we can get “our healing today” or even have yet another Godly man or woman lay hands on us and pray as we go away still sick and even more frustrated. We think to ourselves, does God really care? Is He listening at all? Here is a word of encouragement to all of us who are suffering from illness and pain….

“Many are the wiles of the evil one. If he is not able to disturb the soul by means of poverty, he suggests riches as an attraction. If he has not won the victory by insults and disgrace, he suggests praise and glory. Overcome by health, he makes the body ill. Not having been able to seduce it through pleasures, he tries to overthrow it by involuntary suffering. He joins to this, very severe illness, to disturb the faint-hearted in their love of God. But he also destroys the body by very violent fevers and weighs it down with intolerable thirst. If being a sinner you undergo all these things, remind yourself of the punishment to come, the everlasting fire and sufferings inflicted by justice, and do not be discouraged here and now. Rejoice that God visits you and keep this blessed saying on your lips. ‘The Holy One chastened me sorely but has not given me over unto death’ (Ps 118:18) You were iron but fire has burnt the rust off you. If you are righteous and fall ill, you will go from strength to strength. Are you gold? You will pass through the fire purged. Have you been given a thorn in your flesh? (2 Cor 12:1) Exult, and see who else was treated like that; it is an honor to have the same sufferings as Paul. Are you be tried by fever? Are you being taught by cold? Indeed Scritprue says ‘We went through fire and water, yet god has brough us fort to a spacious place’ (Ps 69:29) this share of the wretchedness will makd you perfect. For it is said: ‘The Holy One heasrs when I call’ (Ps 4:3) So open your mouth wider to be touahg by these exercises fo the sould, seeing that we are under the eyes of our enemy.” – Amma Syncletica, Egypt,.

From The Life and Regimen of the Blessed and Holy Teacher Syncletica by 5th Century Athanasius. (An Amma is someone who is dedicated to the ascetic life, she is wise, mature and a teacher of Gods Word. It means Mother in Aramaic.)

The Five Levels of Bible Learning
By Mel Constance

Level 1:
Salvation sounds like a good thing. People can go along with that. They like the songs and the feel-good fellowship with others they meet in their church. They might read little books or pamphlets on different subjects concerning religion. But the person doesn’t read the bible.

Level 2:
People learn baptism and how to be saved concepts. They learn to accept Christ and work towards being baptized. People attend church and only learn the parts of the bible the pastor reads them or tells them to read.

Level 3:
People read the whole bible, page by page; chapter by chapter; and book by book. We learn the whys, wherefores and how’s by learning the heart of God and Christ. We begin to understand why God is so upset and brokenhearted with his people. We come to know God on a more intimate level and we realize God has the same feelings in his heart that we have in ours. Feelings of betrayal when our spouse or children betray us. Feelings of insecurity because someone you love says they love you too, but they show you the opposite. Feelings of longing for people to want to get to know you, of why you are the way you are, and then accept you and love you because of the way you are.

We begin to see things from God’s and Christ’s perspective instead of our own short sightedness. We realize that all he wants for us is good things and never bad. We learn how to put into practice the trust and faith Christ speaks of and learn how to pray so that our prayers are answered. We become brave enough to overcome obstacles and change things we don’t like about ourselves or in our lives that have kept us from the goals and dreams we hold for ourselves. We learn that all things really are possible through Christ because we are obtaining our dreams even against all odds.

Level 4:
We get out our Strong’s Concordance and all the dictionaries and encyclopedias we have and then do studies subject by subject, word by word. We discover that some things we learned in level 2 didn’t go as deep into the bible as it could have. We realize that in level 3 our knowledge doubled from level 2 and that many of the main scriptures that should have been used to come to a better understanding of the topic were never read or mentioned. We realize that many of the scriptures that weren’t used are the ones that gave the most understanding and clarity of the subject. In level 4 we see things so much clearer that wasn’t explained in level 2. In some cases we discover we are offended and feel betrayed at this new insight because it is the opposite of what the pastor taught us and the opposite of what the world wants us to do. But eventually we realize that our salvation comes from our obedience to God and Christ and not the world or man. We decide to change our ways and put all our faith and trust in God and Christ and are pleasantly surprised when we realize how truly blessed we are with the Holy Spirit in our hearts and abundant blessings in our lives from doing what God says is right. We find we are healed of many diseases and health problems when we ask in faith of Christ to heal us of our infirmities. And all this is because we choose to put God first and believe him more than man. Many of the pastors and ministers that go through seminary don’t even learn the things in level 4 that they should. The research on schools and their curriculums that I have done has shown a lack of the basics that the bible is about. I find it amazing that 1000’s of our church leaders could go through years of training in the bible schools and not learn the whys, wherefores and how’s of the 10 commandments and the main points God and Christ taught.

These are the main points that the bible is about:
- The 10 commandments
- The Holy Days - God taught and Christ kept
- Salvation - Who gives it, why and how to have it
- Attaining the Holy Spirit and proper baptism, faith and righteousness
concepts
- Repentance of all of mankind
- Satan, his tempting of man and how to defeat him.
- Physical and spiritual miraculous healings from Christ
- Obedience and the consequences of wrong doings
- Israel – God’s chosen people, (Gentiles too) – and still are.
- The sin – disease connection
- Life in general

I have learned that learning the things on God’s list gives a much better understanding of the bible and the concepts that God and Christ want us to learn. Learning the bible on a subject by subject basis and doing word studies has given me a much higher level biblical education and clearer perspective that shows the bigger picture that God wants us to see.

Level 5:
People in level 5 want to teach the rest of the world how to have a bountiful life full of blessings straight from God and to try to protect them from the wrong teachings that can do them so much harm. They don’t want to see people suffer from calamities, problems, disease and death, so they do all they can to try to teach others.

About the Author: Mel Constance is a 25 year bible (factual scripture) scholar and the author of The Incomplete Person and The Missing “Life” Information That Gives Us Bad Lives. Her website www.NewIsraelAssembly.org and book explains religion from God’s perspective and shows the things that human perspectives have missed that causes so much damage and disease in a person’s life. They are excellent resources for pastors or individuals.

When We Have Done All We Can Do
By Joanne Lowe

“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18, King James Version

The Bible instructs us to live peaceably with all men. However, there are times when it is very difficult, and some times it is impossible, to be at peace with people. The Bible tells us what to do in this situation “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” (Ephesians 6:18).

Before we get out of bed in the morning, we need to commit our day to Jesus and ask Him to help us. Don’t get out of bed before you pray because it only takes a minute for satan to launch a vicious poisonous attack at us. We must be careful that we don’t allow satan to discourage us.

It would make satan very happy if he discouraged us so much that we stop serving Jesus. When we have done all we can do, we need to be quiet and let Jesus take care of the situation. We are powerless to defeat satan in our own strength. Jesus defeated satan when He hung on the cross for us.

The war was won on the cross when Jesus shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of our sins. However, we are still in a battle and we must be alert for the attacks of satan. As soon as you realize that satan is attacking you, ask Jesus to protect you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that we have the privilege of being saved because Jesus died for our sins. Please help us to be peace makers and not trouble makers. Jesus, thank You for dying for us. I love You, Jesus, with all of my heart. Amen.

Who Are You Following?
By Joanne Lowe

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21, KJV

S. Sundar Singh wrote the song “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”. I wonder if we can honestly sing the words of this song from our hearts. “I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, No turning back.”

Every one of us has to make this decision. No one else can do it for us. Just as salvation is a personal issue between us and Jesus, so the decision to follow Jesus or satan is also a personal issue. We have to decide who we are going to follow. We only have two choices. We are either following Jesus or we are following satan.

There are many people who are straddling the fence. They won’t make the decision because they might have to give up the friends they have now and make new friends. They know that they should follow Jesus but they are reluctant to stop going to places and doing things that they know they shouldn’t go to or do.

Who are you following? Are you following Jesus or are you following satan? Can you honestly say to Jesus “I will follow You and I will not turn back”? If you aren’t following Jesus, not only will you have an unhappy life, you are also hurting Him and breaking His heart. Will you decide to follow Jesus today?

Dream Of The Sad Preacher - Unusual!
By 'Bubsie' from South Africa

[Bubsie] dreamt or had an open vision that she was in her bedroom when she heard the voice of God call her and ask her to wake up. ... He asked her to go to a church as there was a man there that needed her help. No directions were given but as she drove in her car she seemed to know where to go and she arrived at a very large church building: it was magnificently constructed and was a dome-shaped hexagonal building that stretched for a great distance: there were smaller dome-shaped buildings that were in the back-ground: she approached the gates without hesitation and entered a massive parking lot: there were a few cars but very little movement and no people.

As she entered the building she saw the church and many corridors with many offices leading off them and a few people walking around who appeared busy with administration work: they didn't talk or acknowledge her or each other and appeared emotionless with very little movement as they walked as well.

She continued to walk a distance before she saw the door to the administrative block : it was closed. She opened it and entered and saw an office, the door was open and as she entered she saw a man behind a huge desk made of cherry wood: he appeared to be the minister: he was very well groomed, not Indian, White or Black, more Middle Eastern looking: he was very well attired in a smart suit and he had expensive rings on each finger including the thumbs and a watch and chain on each hand respectively: on the right hand wall of the office she saw a display of knives: they were Eastern, looked Chinese/Japanese. On the desk itself she saw on the right hand side stacks of playing cards: they were jumbo-sized, next to them were credit cards also jumbo-sized and different brands of credit cards, some known to her like Mastercard and Visa, and some unknown: there was more than one pile of playing cards and credit cards and they were piled on the table. To the left on the table she saw comic books: like Superman, Batman and Spiderman: they were also in stacks and piled : In the middle of the desk she saw a huge appointment book: To the right of the desk on the floor she saw crates filled with bottled mineral water.

The minister indicated to her to be seated and proceeded to tell her about how busy he was, showing her his appointment book with filled calender booking him for speaking engagements and explaining to her how much he had acquired in terms of book and tape ministry: he spoke with an arrogant, boastful tone, and used his hands to gesticulate to indicate how much wealth was in his possession: his right hand kept touching the credit cards and playing cards as he spoke and his left hand kept touching the comics as he spoke. He then asked her what she was doing there and she told him, God sent me because you need my help: He then began to boastfully say how no help was needed : she then looked to the left of the office and in the corner stood a statue of Christ: almost like how a painting of Christ is depicted but in statue form: she felt rather than stone or marble this resembled more a life-like statue like you get in Madame Tussard's. As she continued to look at the statue while the man continued to expound on why no help was needed, she had a sense that there was life in the statue - especially in the eyes looking at her.

At this point she got up and walked out of the office and began walking to her car: as she reached the outside of the building, she heard the voice of God again, talking to her in a tongue, saying to her, I asked you to come here because this man needs your help. As she protested that the man had stated that he didn’t need her help, she heard again the voice of God speaking to her in a tongue telling her to go back and help the man. She made her way back to the office and as she entered to sit down, the man said to her, What are you doing here, I told you I don't need your help: as he spoke to her he was lifting his right hand and sweeping it across as if to say, see what I have: this was when she noticed that his left arm was missing: it had been cleanly severed at the shoulder joint between the bone and the sleeve of the jacket and shirt had been neatly severed as well: she noticed that it has been surgically removed because of the cleanness of the cut and that the scar was completely healed: she then looked at the statue and at the feet, she saw the man's left arm: it was still covered in the suit and shirt and in the hand of the severed left arm was clutched a knife.

The man then started to ask her what she was doing there and as she said, God told me that you need my help, he stopped her and said, I don't need your help: I can use my right hand to do whatever I want and a few people entered the room and one of them handed him a bottle of mineral water which he lifted with his right hand to his mouth to drink, demonstrating to her that her help was not needed. He then said, I have 2300 (not sure of the exact number he mentioned but it was around this number) of people who work for me who can get me what I want: I don't need your help.

At this point, Bubsie got up and left the room and the building: as she was driving away in her car, again the voice of God remonstrated with her in a tongue that He had told her to come here to help the man and asked her to turn the car back, which she did. This time when she reached the office, she saw immediately that the right hand was missing and as she looked at the feet of the statue, there was the right hand clutching the cards in the hand. The man began to say confidently that she was not needed as he still had his legs and he could walk to get to what he needed.

She left the office again and this time she reached the carpark when the voice of God again in a tongue told her to go back to help the man. When she got to the office, she immediately looked at the statue and at the feet lay the left leg of the man, with the shoe and sock taken off: again the neat severing, the surgical healed scar: no jagged edges, no blood: she was not shocked or even upset, merely observant, and each time she entered the office she sat in the chair opposite the man and looked at him and said, God told me to come here as there is a man here that needs my help: The man said to her I don't need your help, see, I can still stand on one leg. He was not as confident and arrogant and she sensed an uncertainty and anxiety in him but she got up and left.

She made it to the door of the building before the voice of God spoke again telling her, I told you to come here : this man needs your help. She turned back and when she got to the office, she didn't see him and she thought, oh good, he's gone. And then as she looked at the statue, the eyes of the statue were looking down to where the man's chair was, directing her attention to the chair: she went around the desk and saw the man slumped in the chair: the right leg had been neatly severed. At this point the people that had offered him water from before came into the room and lifted the man in the chair and strapped him into the chair with what looked like a seat-belt: the man asked her, What are you doing here? and she said, God told me to come here, you need my help.

The man looked at her without arms and without legs and he said, I still have my intellect and my connections and I can be carried around by my people to where I need to go so I don't need your help. She noticed though that there was no longer confidence and some degree of fear in him as he spoke. She got up and left the office and reached the end of the administration building when the voice of God spoke to her again and said, Come now, I told you to come here because the man needs your help.

As she turned around to make her way back to the office, she realized for the very first time she actually wanted to go in to help the man. Until now she was more obedient than willing. She also noticed that every time she had come back the daylight slowly faded indicating the passing of time and now it was almost dusk.

As she neared the door, the voice of God told her, I want you to be prepared for what you are going to see before you go in. As she entered the office, again she did not see the man and she immediately walked around the large desk to the chair: the man had been decapitated: again a neat surgical scar which had healed: she did not feel any horror as she looked at this scene:

She then saw the statue come alive and Jesus walked to her and said, I want you to carry him and revive his heart:... She swept with one hand all the stuff off the table and laid the torso on the table, wondering how it was she was supposed to revive the man's heart: She opened the shirt and then looked towards the knives on the wall as if to see whether she should use a knife to get to the heart and Jesus said to her, No, just touch him. As she touched the chest, the entire sternum split in half: this time it was a fresh cut and she saw the blood line at the point of severing and the two parts of the chest lifted up: both her and Jesus peered in at the same time into the chest cavity: as Bubsie looked where the heart should be, she saw *a stone*:

Jesus did not look surprised by what He saw, but Babsie was: it was not in the shape of a heart, rather it was just a stone that you see at the side of the road: and as she thought, Now what am supposed to do, am I supposed to revive the stone? She felt the hand of Jesus touch her outstretched hand moving it away: and He said, *No, don't touch it, It's too late.* And she woke up.

When she woke up she asked the Father what she saw: She felt that *the knives* represented the church's dependence on its own weaponry and other sources instead of the the Sword of truth, *the comics* with fantasy superheroes its powerless ineffective ego-founded demonstration of signs and wonders that have no real power, *the playing cards* and *credit cards* it's gambling in the world of mammon with the prosperity gospel. The statue was the Spirit of Christ, paralyzed and confined to an image for identity's sake, more than anything, only allowed to come to life when the head was severed; the bottled mineral water, being its reliance on its own water supply, not the fresh living water that comes from the Father. The absence of genitalia she saw as its inability to be carriers of seed, or reproduce the life of God or bear fruit. The arrogance and refusal to acknowledge its plight until it was too late, despite the many times the Father had sent His prophets in to offer help, had both of us weeping.

The most chilling aspect was that Jesus as Advocate and Redeemer and Bridegroom was the one who said to the prophet 'don't touch it, it's too late' when the true heart of this system was revealed to be stone.

She had one question - Why did you send me there to help, when you knew it was too late? And she felt that the Father had sent His prophets time and time again - and with each Sword of Truth had exposed and severed first, the false sword doctrine/deception) in the church system (the knife in the cut-off left hand), next to be exposed by the Sword of Truth was the prosperity gospel (cards in the cut-off right hand), next the lie of the false gospel being preached was exposed (the cut-off leg with the foot exposed), then the false leadership structure exposed (the head): all of these were done and sealed (healed scars) the fresh cut to expose the true heart required the prophetic witness and is the final aspect.

All I Can Do Is Pray
By Paula Marolewski

I've heard it a thousand times. I've probably said it a thousand times myself. Someone bares their soul to me, and the situation is terrible, painful, difficult ... far beyond the reach of anything I can do – or anyone can do – to help. And then those six words slip from my lips:

"All I can do is pray."

Even as I write the words, I can hear the defeat resonating from them. Properly translated, what I far too often mean when I say those six words is, "I'm sorry I can't do anything to help. I don't have the resources you need. I wish I did. I'll pray about it, but I know that's just a drop in the bucket to what you really need. I don't expect anything to really happen as a result of my prayers."

Then one day as I said it, God rocked me back on my heels. I realized how much I was cheapening God by the attitude behind my words. Think about it:

"All I can do is pray. I'm sorry – all I can do is call upon the sovereign Lord of the Universe, the One who holds all resources, all grace, all power, all hope in his hands. All I can do is ask the loving God who sent his Son to die for us and then raised him from the dead to help you out. All I can do is ask God to demonstrate his divine character in your life through his unending providence, generosity, love, miracles, presence, and care. Sorry I can't do more."

It comes down to a question of attitude and a recognition of adequacy. As Paul writes in II Corinthians 3:5 "Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming form ourselves, but our adequacy is from God." Our attitude should be one of humility, recognizing that our adequacy to meet any need or act in any situation is from God alone.

Once we assume that attitude and understand that our adequacy comes from God, we will no longer despair when we are faced with situations that are beyond our control or help. We simply turn in the same humility to the God who is more than adequate to meet every need – and call upon him for deliverance.

With the right attitude and an understanding of where our resources always and only ever come from, we can truly reach out and say with confidence and trust, "I can't help you. I wish I could, but I simply don't have the resources you need. Fortunately, I know the One who does. All I can do is pray – but I know that God will take care of everything else."

The Burden Is Gone
By Joanne Lowe

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1, 2 - King James Version

Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life. It shouldn’t have been a good day because I received a very disturbing email from someone who I thought was a good friend. This person attacked me viciously and said some very cruel things to me. However, instead of what that person said to me making me angry and upsetting me, it did just the opposite.

When I read that email, I started laughing because I felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from my heart. I was so happy, that instead of crying, I started singing. God is so good to us. He takes away the hurt from the cruel words that people say to us with His soothing ointment of love.

The Bible tells us to “lay aside every weight”. The burden you are carrying may be someone you think is a good friend, but this person is weighing you down. If this person doesn’t make you think of Jesus, you need to end the friendship immediately!

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for removing that heavy burden from my heart. Please help every person who reads this devotion to lay aside every weight that keeps them from serving Jesus as He wants them to serve Him. Thank You for Jesus, our precious Saviour, who not only saves us from our sins but also saves us from ourselves. Amen.

The Most Extreme Man Or Woman In The Church
By Joyce Perdue.

The most extreme man in the church today is the man, the one who stands on God’s Word alone.

He is the “voice crying in the wilderness” of modern churchanity.

It is he who dares to ask not, ”Is this okay? Can we “get away with it”?”, but “Is this honoring to God Almighty?”

Here is one who refuses to engage in frivolity while the world slides to hell.

Here is the man who isn’t afraid to stand before men and be laughed at; he is afraid only of standing before God and being condemned.

He stands for truth in a time of compromise.

He constantly searches out the Word of God and demands a “thus saith the Lord” in a time of me-centered, watered-down, cotton candy teachings.

He believes that there is one way, God’s Way, and he is willing to give up home, income, reputation…indeed, he is willing to give up all that he has, all that he is…in order that it may be taught.

Here is the one who knows “doing for God” must grow out of “being with God” and not the other way around.

Here is the preacher who isn’t afraid to “step on toes” or make someone uncomfortable when the need arises.

He is one who will preach boldly against sin in all of its manifestations.

He is a man who constantly invites his Lord to “search me…try me…see if there is any wicked way in me”.

He is one who knows Jesus wasn’t just “meek and mild” but also the Lion of Judah Who was zealous for God’s house and he tirelessly seeks to follow his Master’s example.

He is the husband, the father, who leads his family to go against the world–no matter how unpopular, how uncomfortable the position–rather than ride the flow that leads to hell.

Here is the young man who seeks out a woman of true loveliness, one who loves God and shows much growth in godliness, rather than one whose beauty is only skin deep.

The most extreme man in the church is the one who unfailingly takes God at His Word and then, believing, acts on it.

He teaches truth even when persecuted for it.

He sees the times and, understanding the dangers ahead, beseeches God on behalf of the people who are failing Him.

Here is one who will lose sleep to “stand in the gap” for his family, the church, the nation.

He is not afraid of censure, of unpopularity, of ridicule but only of displeasing his Lord.

He is one who has obviously ”been with Jesus”.

He knows intimately the throne of grace and lives at the foot of it.

He knows the Cross of Christ for he makes his home in its shadow.

He loves God and thus loves the unlovely–even those who would cause him harm for his “extreme” positions.

Here is one to whom praying is as natural as breathing.

He is known in hell and hated for his prayers. His aren’t prayers for personal comfort but for God’s will to be done–and then, when the prayers are momentarily complete, he gets up and makes himself available to be the instrument through which God’s will can be accomplished.

One who knows sleepless nights spent crying out to God that He may be known and honored among men.

A man who has absolute faith in God that His Lord is able to do all that He has promised.

Here is a man to whom the thought has never occurred to not “accept” Jesus as His Lord.

One whom, knowing his own sinfulness, is humbled by the grace-filled opportunity to serve His Lord in any and every fashion that God bestows upon him.

A man to whom God Himself is more important than any other gift that God could bestow.

Emotional Martyrs
Joanne Lowe

“Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.” Proverbs 12:25, King James Version

One of the definitions for the word “martyr” in Webster’s Dictionary is “a person who voluntarily suffers death as a penalty of witnessing to and refusing to renounce a religion”. I have listened to my Pastor preach the same sermon twenty one times because the sermon is all about Jesus and the precious people who are being killed because they refuse to renounce their faith in Jesus.

This inspirational and heart touching sermon brings tears to my eyes and to my heart every time I hear it. In my opinion, it is the greatest sermon that has ever been preached. While I was listening to the sermon for the twenty first time, God spoke to my heart and told me to write a devotion about emotional martyrs.

I have lost track of the emails I have received over the last five years from people who have been attacked emotionally because they have taken a stand for Jesus. They told me that because they have surrendered their lives to serve Jesus in full time ministry that they are being ridiculed and rejected by their families and friends.

One person told me that he and his dad had been close all of his life. They used to do things together every week but when this precious man surrendered his life to serve Jesus full time, his dad not only stopped going places with him, his dad also stopped speaking to him and won’t have anything to do with him. This dear man who has surrendered his life to serve Jesus is heartbroken.

Joyce Landorf Heatherley, a Christian speaker and author, while talking about men and women who have surrendered their lives to serve Jesus full time says on one of her teaching tapes “Men and women are leaving full time ministry in droves because we have not encouraged them. We have impressed them with our “spirituality” and just knocked a hole in their relationship with God and with others”. What a sad commentary it is on those of us who claim to be Christians that instead of encouraging people to serve Jesus, we discourage them.

I can give you a perfect example of how people who love Jesus and have surrendered their lives to serve Him are being discouraged from serving Him. I felt God calling me to be a missionary and I surrendered to the mission field on October 4, 1998. However, He did not tell me what He wanted me to do until January 24, 2005. He entrusted me with and gave me the ministries of encouraging pastors and writing devotions with Jesus helping me.

Two years ago, I asked a pastor this question and his response not only discouraged me, it also broke my heart. “If I was a member of your church, would you pray about presenting me to the deacons to be commissioned as a missionary?” The pastor did not hesitate. He said “I wouldn’t even consider it. You’re not doing anything”. I asked him what he was talking about. He said “You haven’t planted a church”.

How sad, dear people that we are more interested in erecting buildings than we are in planting the unconditional love of Jesus in people’s hearts. Buildings will not last. Eventually, they will crumble but the unconditional love that is planted in the hearts of people will last forever. These precious people who are being ridiculed and rejected by their families and friends for the stand they have taken for Jesus are emotional martyrs.

Of all the emotional martyrs, the greatest one is Jesus. He was ridiculed and rejected constantly but He refused to renounce His Father. He remained faithful to His Father. I have heard many sermons about the physical pain that Jesus suffered for us but I have never heard an entire sermon focused on the emotional pain that He endured. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus did not die from the physical pain that was inflicted upon Him. I believe that He died of a broken heart. I also believe that every time a nail was pounded into His hands, that same nail was pounded into His heart.

You may be willing to die physically for Jesus but are you willing to die emotionally for Him? When your family and friends say cruel and sarcastic things to you because you have taken a stand for Jesus, do you keep your mouth shut or do you say hateful, cruel and sarcastic things back to them?

We not only need physical martyrs for Jesus, we also need people who are willing to be emotional martyrs for Him. Are you an emotional martyr for Jesus? Remember, Jesus gave His life’s blood for you on the cross and died of a broken heart for you. How can we do less than die for Him, not only physically but also emotionally?

32 Things Religion And The Bible Teach Us About Life
By Mel Constance

If life has left you feeling confused, cold, empty and doubtful about life, then it’s time to learn the real purpose of religion.

32 Things Religion And The Bible Teach Us About Life. These all pertain to “LIFE” - not a religious sector, belief or denomination.

The 32 things on this list should be everyone’s personal objective of things to obtain in their own lives. Many of these goals can be achieved within about 12 to 24 months depending on how quickly a person wants to learn and apply the knowledge in their lives. If your religion has not taught you how to attain most of these things on this list, then it has failed you. The bible and religion are about LIFE.

1. How to have long life.
2. How to have salvation.
3. How to know what your purpose in life is.
4. How to love and be loved.
5. How to forgive and be forgiven.
6. How to eat to be healthy.
7. How to believe and worship God, with no doubts about his existence.
8. How to receive healing through prayer.
9. How to know and treat God. Commands 1 – 4.
10. How to treat others. Commands 5 – 10.
11. How to be leaders.
12. How to be financially stable and prosperous.
13. How to change our behaviors.
14. How to have faithful, supportive spouses.
15. How to give and receive.
16. How to help those less fortunate.
17. How to attain the Holy Spirit, so we feel good and our hearts aren’t empty.
18. How to have joy and peace of heart and mind.
19. How to have good children.
20. How to overcome addictions and negative feelings.
21. How to be wise and intelligent.
22. How to treat ourselves – respect for body, mind and spirit.
23. How to correct crimes and harmful behaviors.
24. How to rest and be refreshed.
25. How to plan and predict your life and future.
26. How to plan and predict your children’s life and future.
27. How to have a clear conscious.
28. How to win wars.
29. How to understand human nature.
30. How to protect yourself from enemies and disasters.
31. How to recognize false / erroneous / pagan practices and beliefs.
32. How to treat the earth, land, plants and animals for maximum production.

These 32 things should give people an eye opening insight to know that God, religion and the bible are not against us and are not bad things. They are there for our complete “LIFE” needs to give us the knowledge we need to survive anything that may happen in our lives. That wisdom includes how to find our perfect life mates, how to be prosperous, how to win wars and defeat our enemies, and how to be healthy, happy and have a long life. But most of all is how to be and feel loved all the time within ourselves with a love that comes from the Holy Spirit. I have found many of these things are easy to learn and obtain when we live by the standards outlined in the commandments and scriptures. Going against the scriptures will stop our wisdom and blessings. I pray God gives you the guidance and wisdom to bless you in your lives too.

Our book “The Incomplete Person” teaches how to obtain most of the things on this list. I highly recommend it to those who would like to increase their knowledge and wisdom for a life that is truly blessed.

Give What You Have
By Joanne Lowe

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” - Acts 3:6, King James Version

The last two days I have been listening to a series of sermons that a pastor friend sent me. I stayed up all night Sunday listening to them because my heart was so touched by what the pastor said in the sermons. One of the sermons touched my hungry heart so much that I cried through the entire sermon.

In one of the sermons, the pastor challenged the congregation to take their shoes off so they could be given to people who need shoes. The pastor said “It’s warm today. You can walk without your shoes to your car.” The people in the congregation that day might not have been able to give any money but they could have given their shoes had they chosen to do so.

To some of us that may sound crazy and not very practical but if I had been there that day when the sermon was preached, I would have gladly taken my shoes off and given them away. It is very important and also urgent that we get out of our comfort zones and reach out to people in need.

We do need to give our money to people who don’t have enough money to buy groceries or pay their rent or their utility bills. However, there is another kind of need that is far more urgent and that is the need to comfort and encourage people who are hurting emotionally.

In one of those sermons, the pastor told about going to a leper colony and hugging the lepers. For those of you who have been on my mailing list for any length of time, you know that I spent over thirty years confined to mental hospitals off and on and in that time not one person hugged me. I had been told so many times as a teenager at school that I was fat, ugly, and stupid, and didn’t have a right to live that I really believed it.

O that we would love Jesus so much, that like that precious pastor who hugged the lepers, we would hug people who are hurting for Jesus. Remember, Jesus hasn’t been here for over two thousand years. He has left us to hug for Him.

When is the last time you hugged someone for Jesus? When is the last time you hugged your spouse or children and told them that the hug wasn’t from you, it was from Jesus? Are you willing to shut off the television, get out of your comfort zone and love others to Jesus?

Remember, the level of our service to Jesus depends on our level of love for Him. How much do you love Him and how much are you willing to do for Him? Only you can answer that question. We are either serving Jesus or we are serving satan. The choice is yours. Will you commit today to serve Jesus for the rest of your life?

Do You Know What's In You?
By Ann Stewart

There is a treasure hidden deep within you that's waiting to be revealed. (2 Cor. 4: 7) If you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour than you have His anointing in you. Christ means Anointing. It is the Holy Spirit, who took up residence in you when you became born again. That is why it is called the second birth.

Adam and Eve were covered with the anointing, or glory of God. They did not need any other kind of covering. Unlike all other animals, who are covered with feathers, fur, wool or scales and the like, they did not need any kind of outward covering. That is, until they disobeyed God. That's when the anointing left them and they realized they were naked!

That anointing was lost forever and cannot be bought, wished, or won back by any religious actions or pious living. In the Old Testament it was powerfully displayed after the Lord showed His Glory to Moses on Mt. Sinai. When he got back down, his face radiated so much that the people were afraid to come near him and he had to cover it with a veil! (Ex. 34: 29 - 35) Alas, that glory did not last. It was a reflection of an outward glory.

God bestowed his anointing on many Hebrew people, mainly the prophets. But again, that anointing would come on them for a time and a purpose. But now you can receive the anointing by acknowledging the only One who could restore it. Do you know Him? If you do, are you aware of the awesome anointing that is in you?

Moses did not realize his face was so radiant until he saw the fear of the people and was told about it. Is your light shining brightly?

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor. 3: 18)

The closer you walk with God and observe His Commandments and come to know Him through His Word, the more you will be like him, and it will show outwardly. People will be drawn to you and want what they see in you!

Are you still not sure whether or not you have, or even deserve, such anointing? Then meditate on this: "we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead; who delivered us from so great a death… Who hath also sealed us, and given the [witness] of the Spirit in our hearts." (2 Cor. 1: 9; 10; 22)

Yes, the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in you! (Rom. 8: 11) That's awesome! You've got what it takes! You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you! (Rom. 8: 37) Your part, especially in these end times, is to show the world what you've got! Let your light shine brightly in the darkness.

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish." (2 Cor. 2: 14 - 15)

A Love-A-Thon For Jesus
By Joanne Lowe

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3, King James Version

I believe that we would make the heart of Jesus very happy and have the greatest harvest of souls for Jesus the world has ever seen if we would have a love-a-thon for Him. If every Christian would join the love-a-thon for Him and tell everyone they see that Jesus loves him or her, hearts would be touched and lives would be changed.

We preach to people. We tell them that they are on their way to hell unless they invite Jesus into their hearts to be their personal Saviour. However, so often we neglect to tell them that Jesus loves them. I have had several people come to my home through the years and ask me if I was saved but not one of those people told me that Jesus loves me.

Let’s start telling everyone we see that Jesus loves them unconditionally. If they don’t know that Jesus loves them, why would they want to go to Heaven to be with Him? Are you willing to join the love-a-thon for Jesus? It will mean getting out of your comfort zone and spreading the love of Jesus to people who desperately need to know they are loved.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to please forgive us for watching television hour after hour instead of using that time to spread the unconditional love of Jesus to our families, our friends and to those who are hurting. Help us to love others unconditionally just as Jesus loves us unconditionally. Amen.

The Value of a Biblical Education
By: Mel Constance

An article appeared in our Arizona Republic newspaper, titled, “Education pays off in hard cash” about the value of a college education and the ways it pays off over a lifetime. Here is a portion of the article:

By one measure, the short answer is that college graduates can expect somewhere around $450,000 in additional lifetime earnings compared to their friends with only high-school diplomas. In many respects, the value of a college degree is much higher, especially when you factor in less-obvious aspects such as health, civic involvement, workplace benefits and even attitudes on life.

In today’s society disease seems to be just a part of life that people are expected to accept as normal. I've heard people with many problems calling radio shows with psychic hosts to ask for help and guidance on their lives because they don't know where their lives are headed. In Deuteronomy 28 we find a blessing and a curse for keeping the commandments of God. It tells us that disease, problems and calamities are sent as a punishment for breaking God’s commands that he gave man to follow, and plenty of blessings for keeping them too.

Our United States government has adopted the commandments into our laws and are the very laws we are judged by in our court system. They are also the same laws God will use to judge us at the end of our lives to determine where we will spend our eternity. With that said, it stands to reason that we would do much better in life if we were to educate ourselves by learning the commands and follow them to benefit ourselves throughout our whole lives. The younger we are when we learn them, then the more we can benefit by them by avoiding diseases, curses and the calamities listed in Deut 28, along with staying out of jail in our own states. 1 John 5:3 tells us, For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous. If they are not grievous and God and Christ both say to keep them, then we should keep them, for they are the standards for a just and fair society.

We make “life” plans for careers, marriage, retirement, children, and even death arrangements, but we don’t take the time to find out how to have a good long, healthy and prosperous life while we're young. People would find that there would be even more pay-offs in our society in other ways with less marital and family problems, less poverty or public assistance, higher pay, better job benefits, less disease and health crisis’s and over-all easier lives.

All it would take is a few months of commandment study, and 2-4 years more of other biblical studies to get a proper education of the best book about “life.” The sooner a person starts their training the more they will benefit from it, and in turn help others like family and society so they benefit too.

Now that’s an educational investment too good to pass up; creating a just and fair society; learning how to stop curses on our lives, how stay out of jail, and making "life" plans for a lifetime of prosperity, good health, and happiness. That’s far better than just hard cash!

Colleges aren’t the only place we can get an education. The value of God's knowledge and lessons far exceeds what we learn in limited or incomplete classes at college. You can start your "life" training class with the book "The Incomplete Person" and the Missing "Life" Information That Gives Us Bad Lives." It is now time to learn how to have good lives by learning the "missing LIFE information" that has been neglected to be taught in all academic schools.

Paid In Full
By Joanne Lowe

“After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19: 28 – 30, King James Version

One of the things that makes satan happy is when he can put a guilt trip on us. For two years after I was saved, satan tried to convince me that Jesus didn’t love me and that I was still a sinner because my sins hadn’t been forgiven. I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that when God forgives you for your sins, you are forgiven!

Don’t let satan lie to you. Stand firm on the Word of God. When Jesus died on the cross for you and for me and said “It is finished” the debt for our sins was paid in full. There is nothing that we can do to earn our salvation. All the money in the world and all the good deeds in the world are not good enough to merit our salvation.

If we could buy our salvation or work for it, Jesus would not have had to suffer such excruciating pain for us on the cross. Thank God that He loves us enough to send His beloved Son into the world to pay the debt that we could never pay. Thank You, Jesus, for loving us so much that You willingly walked that long and lonely road to Calvary so that we can be saved.

Have you invited the Christ of Calvary into your heart? If not, I urge you; I plead with you to say “yes” to Jesus today. You might not have tomorrow or even another hour to live. Give your heart and life to Jesus right now before it is too late.
