The Rules of Holy Living

    Since then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God, put your mind on things above not on earthly things. When Christ appears, you shall also appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever longs to your earthly nature; sexual immorality,impurity,lust,evil desires and greed, which is adolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You use to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourself of all these things, anger,rage, malice,slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self withits practices and have put on the new self which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of the creator.Therefore, as Gods chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive each other for past grievances you may have against one another.Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on LOVE, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your heart to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Amen...[Colossians 3-1:10]
    There is no greater feeling than that of feeling you are doing things to please Christ. It brings such a feeling of completeness, of self worth, of accomplishment in knowing that you have possibly helped in bringing another life closer to Christ through you efforts to spread the word of God. Being Holy isn't just about accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior it is about living life in a positive way, a spiritual way, to live in peace and harmony and to do all things through the love of Christ. We must let the old life die and the new life live with Christ lead us through in all that we do and say. Let us pray.
   Our father in Heaven, thank you for this day, thank you for saving me through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Help me now Lord that I continuously follow the rules for Holy living, that I let go of the things of this earthly life and live for that which is through the power of the Holy Spirit. In all I do Lord I pray for your continued guidance in leading me that I may spread the word of God throughout the world, that I may continued to reach people everywhere so that they to may know the joy of being a Christian. Lod for all who are lost, I pray that they are found and they too can share with me and others the joy of accepting Christ into their lives. I pray for the wisdom and knowledge from you Lord that I may tell the story of you in a way that even the hardest heart shall open to listen and hear the story of Jesus Christ in the hopes that they may be saved. In Jesus name we pray and ask of these. Amen....

Just For Today [ Let us Pray]

Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for today, though sad for a loss, it is glorious for those in passing that they may be joining you at this very hour. We must believe that everything that dies is just in sleeping safe in your arms until the day we can all be joined together as one. Lord bless us all and keep us safe from harm, sin and evil doers while we wander this earthly life for it is long and hard. There are many trials and many heartaches that we face, but just as you faced the pain and the suffering, we to shall endure that which you allow to happen with the passing of the seasons. For you put no more on us than we can bare so in all we know and all that we do not know we find in this life that we are much stronger than we ever could imagine. We share this life for you Lord, to seek others who have got came to know you so that we may share in the word of God, the glory of Jesus Christ that we shall all seek him and have eternal life. We praise your name and ask for your continued guidance. Amen...

Gotta Have Faith, the Faith ,the Faith

 Ask and it shall be given to you,seek and you will find,knock and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who ask receives, he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.[Matthew 7:7] Your Father in Heaven gives good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you. The gift of getting is all in the gift of giving. It is our duty to our God to do for others through acts of kindness and true gesture, not as that of the false prophet who gives only to gain to benefit himself at the time. He shall not inherit the kingdom. You as God's children will know by the wisdom given to you from the father that which is not truly sent to be a true prophet of the Lord.
   Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.[Matthew 7:13]
   Oh dear children of God, live life like there is no tomorrow. Give of your life to God today, before it is too late. Do not let that road and the path of destruction pull you down the path of eternal damnation.Believe me when I say these words as they are written, everyone who receives Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and lives by his faith shall have a place for him, with him, in the Kingdom of Heaven.If you have not received Christ as your personal Lord and Savior let it be now, let it be today for we know not if tomorrow will come for any of us, be ready. Let us pray.
    Dear Lord, Yes I am a sinner, I have been lost on that road of destruction Lord. I am asking you to come into my life Lord Jesus, to save me from eternal damnation. I know that you died on the cross for me so that I too could have eternal life. Forgive me Lord as I graciously welcome you into my life as my personal Lord and Savior. In your name I ask of this. Amen...

Paul and Timothy [Servants of Christ Jesus]

     I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers, for all of you. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love,if any fellowship with the spirit,if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded. Having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.Each of you should look not only to your own interest but alsoto the interest of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ.Remember God exalted him to the highest place. and gave him the name that is above every name.that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth.and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Amen and Amen....

The God of All Comfort

  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with have ourselves recieved from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed it is for yuor comfort which producus in your patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.[ 2 Corinthians 1-3:5}
  I have lived in suffering and wordly torment and I have stood firm in my belief that God will have mercy on my soul. That he shall raise me from the devastating state that has engulfed my being. He will rescue my family from the hands of the evil which has taken hold of the very child that calls out for us. All will be well for this baby, for she will be brought back into the arms of the ones who have nurtured her during her life. I praise God and ask for courage to wait for all to be said and done on behalf of this childs life.. Amen...

The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer!Is wonderful, is beautiful, is a miracle in the making. Our faith is strong and the power of prayer can only help things along. For why do we expect God to just continually do good in our lives if we are not willing to whisper a prayer of thanks or a prayer of need to him daily. Maybe the reason your not getting what you ask for, is because your not asking it in the proper manner.The Lord says ask for and ye shall receive, have you ask him in prayer, or did you just ask?
