  1. HELEN SPAULDING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY. INNER BEAUTY IS CULTIVATED BY PRAYING, MEDITATING AND MAKING SURE THAT WE LIVE GOD'S COMANDS. ONE CAN GAIN CHARACTER BY FAITH, OBEDIENCE AND COURAGE. GOD ONLY CHOSES RIGTHEOUS PEOPLE SINCERE IN THEIR PRAYING AND IN THEIR LOVING AND THIS IS VERY PRECIOUS TO GOD. TRUE CHARACTER KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IN ORDER AND THEREFORE ENHANCES RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  2. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 39 YEARS AND THIS STILL DOES NOT MAKE AN EXPERT ABOUT WOMEN. ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE WOMEN HAVE AN INNER BEAUTY THAT SURPASESS ANY THING FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE ALL NEED A MIRROR A SUPPORT WHERE WE CAN REFLECT AND BE TOLD ABOUT THINGS THAT WE CANNOT SEE OR WE RATHER BE TOLD THAN SEE. MY WIFE DRESSES DISCRETLY BUT THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT I REMARK IN HER BEAUTY AND ON HER APPAREL, SHE SMILES AND SAYS THANK YOU. MY WIFE KNOWS IN HER HEART WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT AND SHE WALKS IN THE LORD DAY BY DAY SHE FINDS HER BALANCE IN BEEN SUBMISSIVE TO THE LORD AND BEEN THE SPIRITUAL LEADER OF OUR FAMILY. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  3. DOES NOT MATTER HOW YOU PUT THE QUESTION THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME. "EGO-PRIDE" WE ARE SELF-CENTER HUMAN BEINGS THAT WE ARE BY NATURE DEFIANT AND WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED ALL OUR LIVES TO BE DEPENDENT IN ONE SELF, CAN YOU IMAGEN THAT? LIVING LIFE IN THIS REALM IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR A PERSON TO SUBMIT. SUBMISSION ONLY REQUIRES TO SUBMIT TO GOD NOT TO INDEPENDENT EGOS THAT ALWAYS TRYING TO ARRANGE THE PLAY. WE MUST SPEAK THE TRUTH IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH. IF WE SUBMIT TO AN ALTER EGO, SO WE CAN GAIN FRO IT, THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG FOR A CHRISTIAN TO DO. BE AWARE. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  4. PRIDE IS THE MAIN GENERAL THAT GIVES POWER TO SIN OVER US, AND PRIDE IS PART OF OUR NATURE. WE MUST SURRENDER TO GOD THROUGH JEUS AT ONCE AND BEGIN TO LIVE A NEW LIFE, WHERE THE COMANDS ARE THE PATH TO RIGHTEOUS LIVING. NO SURRENDER NO LIVING ONLY DYING SINCE WE ARE IN SIN. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  5. I WALKED IN THE DARK FOR LONG TIME AND TODAY I WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE SPIRIT NOT BECAUSE OF MY VIRTUOS BUT BECAUSE GOD'S MERCY AND LOVE AND OUT OF LOVE WE HAVE HIS ONLY SON HIS SON JESUS PAID THE PRICE OF SIN FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AND WHO EVER FOLLOWS HIM AND PRONOUNCES HIS NAME WILL BE SAVED PERSONALLY I LIVE GRATEFUL AND TO LIVE GRATEFUL IS TO ACT GRATEFULLY AND THIS I DO BY LOVING THE FAMILY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO LOVE AND PROTECT AND GUIDE TOWARDS HIM. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  6. Jesus bore our sins in His body all of His senses took part and He remained pure. Because of this great suffering a new covenant was made and today by God's grace we can have a relationship with Him, the Creator of all. Through Christ in the cross redemption took place.
  7. Here is where the separation from pretenders and contenders takes place. Here is where all the whining stops and the action contrary to our own nature begins. If you truly believe, then it is time to pick up the cross and follow HIM. The deceiving has to stop and the surrender must take place The bondage of self must end so the freedom of the spirit can begin. Jesus does not ask for much He just wants everything. May God richly bless you for today.
  8. If we are truly conscious of God nothing that could happen in the work place is going to affect us, none the less we are but little babes and little babes whine and whine. Let us assume, that we are mature christians then we cannot vacilate and we must keep the vision of God in our daily life. If someone commits an injustice towards us we must bless the person because he/she does not know what is doing and if they know what they are doing we must bless them more our attitude will quiet their critiques and perhaps will question our attitude, and then is when we can respond and say we are brothers even if you are not aware and because of that I respect you and hope you come with me to the next service it will be in Sunday.. This is a paradox, the more one complains the less one is heard. Conscientious christians, are about fitting themselves to be of maximum service to God and to the people about God. May God richly bless you.
  9. IT IS ONLY MY OPINION AND MY NARROW POINT OF VIEW SINCE MY PERCEPTION HAS BEEN WORPED DO TO YEARS AND YEARS OF SELF OBSESSION AND FEAR OF LIVING LIFE AS IT COMES IN A DAILY BASIS. SO, I SAY THIS: GOD DOES NOT EXPECT ANY THING FROM US GOD DOES NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION, INSTEAD GRANT US BY GRACE TO COME TO HIM AS WE ARE. MUCH THE BETTER IF WE FOLLOW CERTAIN SIMPLE PRINCIPLES THEN WE CAN BE USEFUL FOR HIS PURPOSE AND OTHERS CAN FOLLOW AND PRAISE HIS WAYS. OUR CROOK IT WAYS BECOME STRAIGHT. IN OUR PRACTICAL DAILY LIFE WE MUST SUBMIT AND BE RESPECTFUL TO AUTHORITY, BECAUSE WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO ACT, WE WANT THE LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US TO SHINE, TO POINT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHY TAKE AWAY WHEN WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE BEST OF ALL SURRENDER AND BE THE BEST WHATEVER WE ARE JUST BE. GOD GAVE US THIS JOB WHATEVER JOB IN WHATEVER LEVEL WE MUST PERFORM IN HUMBLE WAYS AND HONOR HIS NAME AFTER ALL HE IS THE GIVER OF ALL. I AM CONVINCED AND I LIVE MY LIFE IN HIS HONOR AND ANY THING I DO IS IN HIS NAME. WHAT KEEPS ME AN AWE IS THAT GOD WANTS TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? DEAR GOD LEAD US TO BE A SHINNING LIGHT. THANK YOU.
  10. We must consider that GOD created every thing in that thought he created authority to keep an order of things. Thereof GOD depends that all these things happens and everyone gloryfies GOD. When something breaks down and this hapens so much to often then we hurt GOD. It has happened before and it can happen again GOD is a jealous GOD and even He is the most mercyful and loving GOD, also he is always there to restore order if order needs to be restored let us be sure of that. Peter is clear and gives us direction in how to act, with respect towards authority and then goes as far as letting us know to submit not only to the good authority but also to the harsh one making the point of what merit is for a christian to obey a good master. The true merit is for the one that submits with respect to the one that is harsh towards us. Goes along the lines of loving our fellows, lets love our enemies and they then will bring glory to God. This as a true christian way of living. May God richly bless you all.
  11. If it hurts when you are living a christian life then we are in the way to be compasionate and helpful to others to come to Christ Jesus. It is my Ego that wants to talk about my good deeds so I must quiet all of this by given the credit to whom the credit belongs and it is our FATHER, that out of the greatest love He gave His only Son for our salvation. Walking tall in the light of the Spirit and still be small as a grain of sand. Humble myself to God and to my brothers and sisters be of service to every one, love every one incluiding what I call my enemies after all I made them. Be honest to God, be sincere in my prayers and surrender my life to Him. Others can talk, after we all have that freedom and at the end all brothers and sisters will stand together singing hymns of Glory, Glory to God in the highest. He has revealed himself in the Scripture and we all will march victorious prasing him in eternity. Why blend with others when we have been chosen we are the living sacrifices, we are the temples and form one powerful loving church, we do not take prisioners, we help them to become free. Let it be known JESUS reigns for ever and ever AMEN. May God richly bless you and give us strength to prophesie the Gospel.
  12. Suddenly two words are becoming so important and powerful in my life and these words are: URGENT ABSTAIN Peter has an urgent desire to communicate to us the importance that we play in the realm of the spirit We are Gods creation and we are strangers in this world. God wants everything from us Body, Mind, Strength and soul. Peter knows that the Body (flesh) is weak and at risk from temptation, so he urges us to abstain from the desires of the flesh, our own flesh and the best way to do this is by abstaining, meaning getting busy and work in the things of our LORD. Don't just go to Church in Sunday and think that this was enough, NO, we must be 24/7 aware and of help to any one that comes in touch with us and let them know by our actions that we are farmers, soldiers, servants of the most HIGH our CREATOR, our FATHER and be gentle understanding, mercyful and tolerant. One act of helpfulness goes long way in our bank of blessings. I live a daily battle, say a spiritual war-fare but I know that I am not alone since God is by my side every minute fo my day, true HIM I can without HIM I am nothing. Amen.
  13. PASTOR RALPH: WE IN MY FAMILY THANK GOD FOR GIVING YOU THE ENERGY, THE LOVE AND CARE, THE INTLLIGENCE TO OPEN THIS FORUM FOR US TO COME TOGETHER TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OURSELVES TRUE THE WORD OF GOD. THANK YOU. WHEN I WAS A KID, I ALWAYS LIKE TO BE IN THE BEST TEAM TODAY GOD HAS BLESSED ME AND BROUGHT ME TO THE BEST TEAM HIS TEAM, THIS MAKES ME A VERY VALUABLE INDIVIDUAL AND HIM AND I WALK TOGETHER ALL DAY LONG AND AT NIGHT WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND AT THE END HE ALWAYS TELLS ME IS OK TOMORROW YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE. AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE, NEEDS TO BE PRACTICE ALWAYS NOT ONLY SAYING THAT I AM GRATEFUL BUT ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING THAT SHOWS THAT I AM GRATEFUL. GOD HAS MADE MY LIFE FULL AND I GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A SERVANT TO MY WIFE, TO MY DAUGHTERS AND SONS TO MY GRANCHILDREN AND GREATGRANCHILDREN, THIS IS AT HOME THEN HE GRACED ME WITH A JOB WHERE I AM OF SERVICE ALL DAY LONG AND GOD AND I ARE DOING A GOOD JOB SINCE LOTS OF PEOPLE LEAVE OUR PLACE SMILING AND WANTING TO COME BACK. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  14. IN THIS MOMENT I AM OFFERING PRAISE TO GOD TRUE THIS WRITING INSPIRED BY HIM. WE OFFER OUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES TRUE HIM THAT HAS ALL THE POWER AND THE GLORY AMEN. SILENCE CAN BE A POWERFUL PRAISE IF I AM LISTENNING ATTENTIVELY AND WITH REVERENCE. ALL TOGETHER CAN PRAISE GOD WITH THANKS GIVEN AND SING HYMNS IN HIS HONOR. WHEN SOME ONE READS THIS. HE OR SHE COULD OFFER PRAISE TO GOD FOR THE PREVILIGE TO BE ABLE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS BEEN INSPIRED BY HIS LOVE AND MERCY. WE CAN CONSTANTLY PRAISE GOD IF WE BECOME AWARE OF HIS PURPOSE FOR US AND THEN WE TAKE THE ACTION TO DO IT. GLORY, GLORY, GLORY MY CUP RUNS OVER, PRAISE BE HIS HOLY NAME. AMEN. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
  15. Yes I certainly agree with the statement. we look to GOD as consumers I am so very grateful to a new awareness and from consumer was transformed to a servant. "Use me as the lose change in your pocket" I am willing, open and ready now" I am inspired today to be of service to God and to the people about Him. May God richly bless you.
  16. To be of value, one must experience to be of no value and that is the truth of my life From no value of any kind, from a worhless peace of human being living in the flesh and in the world. One day God so fit to call on me ME?, YES you! OK, but you are going to have to guide me. "HE SAID COME, I WIL INTRODUCE YOU TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU. And I said OK, do with me as YOU WILL. He transformed me and showed me how valuable I am, worthy enough for Jesus Christ to redemed me from my sins, in the cross HE died for me and with HIS BLOOD, cleaned me and give me new robes white as snow. Today I am aware of the infinit of God's mercy and love for me and his children, the true value of faith and harmony against bank accounts and bonds. My true long term values are fundamentaly based in knowing and acting in Gods purpose for me in my life. May God richly bless everyone
  17. I am holy in the sense of wholsome meaning that today by God's grace I can be me, you will se the same person at home, at work, at church at social events. I speak the same way to everyone and I increase the intensity of honesty and love when I am around strangers. I must open my ears to the truth and God's comands, sumit and be obedient follow true with what has been written and constantly watch for selfishness and fear, when this crip up, I take the action of contacting a friend to talk about to let him know that I am an a bad place and true prayer and meditation, repentance and confession I am able to stay in the path that leads to humbelness and charity in this sense I must remain obedient. My Lord and Saviosr was obedient to the end of the beginning and this gives me great strength and hope so I can do the same or something close to it.. My biggest struggle with holiness is my pride, always gets in the way and constantly have to be smashed. Simple but not easy.
  18. MAY THIS WIRITING COME FROM MY HEART AND FINDS YOU IN LOVE WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. FIRST PART OF THE FIRST QUESTION. DO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE WORLD SERIES? DO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE WORLD CUP? DO WE LOOK FORWARD TO MUSICAL EVENTS? HOW DOES THESE EVENTS COMPARE WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS? NO COMPARATION AT ALL. WE MUST LIFT OUR EYES AND LOOK AT THE HEAVENS AWATING FOR HIS COMING, NOTHING COULD EVER BE MORE WONDERFUL AND FULFILLING. THIS GETS MY UNDEVIDED ATTENTION AND I PRAY AND HOPE THAT ALSO GETS THE ATTENTION OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. TODAY I LIVE BY GOD'S GRACE AND MY GREATEST AND STROGEST HOPE IS THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE REUNITED WITH HIM IN HEAVEN. CAN ANYTHING TOP THIS? NOP. WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL AND SOBERNESS WE ARE NOT OPEN FOR THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH CAN ONLY COME WHEN NOTHING IS BETWEEN OUR HUMANESS AND GOD. I DO NOT KNOW IN OTHER LIVES, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY LIFE. MY LIFE WILL HAVE NO PURPOSE AND NO MEANNING
  19. The basis of a true christian joy are TRUST, OBEDIENCE, FAITH AND ABUNDANT LOVE. Trust in his promisess Obedience to his comands Faith in the Holy Trinity The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Love in Him only because He loved me first. True the Word in the Scripture we become aware that our hapinness gets on the way of God's joy, so quitelly we surrender our ways and we pick up the ways of our Lord, this joy makes you cry, sing, dance, write, paint and makes you get out of your selfish ways and serve others in ways that we have never than before. This is true joy much like the spiritual way of life is not a theory, we must live it. Genuine joy is contagious and delightful and leaves a print in your heart changing you from the old to the new you.
  20. It was the 10 of October of 1995 and my wife, our daughter and her husband, went out to a restaurant as a part of my wife's birthday celebration, That night my wife became ill, and next morning found out that my daughter also was ill. My wife broke into a high fever and stayed home from work, my daughter reported that she was better but still had heaches and stomach ache, in the other hand my wife's fever kept up and in that night I drove her to the hospital, the fever continuo and the stomach pains continuo as well and she was on a very bad way, two more days of fever and the Drs. did not know what was going on in the morning of the 4th day at 5am I went to the hospital to see how she was feeling. I found her in the fetus position and there was no light in her eyes, she was given up. I cried and prayed, left the room to go to work, but I stopped at a meeting where I shared of my wifes condition. At 10 am a friend visited me and said: Jesus,-Do you have faith? I answered, -YES. then he said "LET'S ASK GOD FOR A FAVOR AND THANK HIM FOR LET YOU HAVE YOUR WIFE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, AND PROMISE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER WHILE SHE IS WITH YOU NOW! He left and at noon I drove to the hospital to see my wife I found her standing in the middle of the room trying to put on her make up, looked at me and said in her sweet voice I WANT TO GO HOME. I cried with her and praised God. My way of life changed in that moment completely and one year after I opened my heart to JESUS and I invited him in my life to be my KING, my DIRECTOR, and he brought me to this forum. PRAISE HIS NAME This act of faith and surrender are his works in me and it must bring glory to Him because I cannot stopped telling people of my SAVIORS life and truth. Amen.
  21. Here is my contribution and I hope is Gods given Gods part in securing our salvation has to do with the love that he has for his children and will shield us through our day and us in faith will trust that he is with in us to walk through our trials and tribulations. We in the other hand must be obedient, and worship him in truth and the spirit, keep steady vision of the purpose that he created us for. Love him above all things and then love one another. Praise our LORD JESUS AND GOD THE FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.
  22. May the grace of God the Father be abundant in every one. I love receiving this questions and the interrelating in one theme, Here we are searching for an answer and there is no wrong answer per say we can all contribute in the growth of one another by sharing our innermost thoguths, they all seem to come from the heart About the first question.- THE SPRINKLING BY HIS BLOOD.- The ultimate act of obedience to the Father. Here we have it in a package. About the second part of the question.- To think we can have one without the other is deceiving, just like GOD works in misteryous ways, so does the angel of light works in deceiving ways and down plays one against the other therefore, GOD in his infinity wisdom and mercy offer salvation for us by grace and JESUS, obeyed his Father's Will till the end. The after though is: If JESUS obeyed all the way, can we by faith do the same? showing our faith through our works, saying is not me that does the work but CHRIST JESUS that lives in me and to him is the glory and the credit of everything. May GOD richly bless you. Your brother in CHRIST JESUS. Jesus Aguilar.
  23. Well, well, well. God certainly works in misteryous ways and now I am sharing with you about our first 3 part question. LOST Second answer: MANY AT TIMES I'VE LOST AS WELL AS MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS I AM INPERFECT YOU SEE AND GOD IS WORKING TO MAKE ME BETTER, BUT HE LIKES TO TAKE HIS TIME AND I AM NOT THE ONE TO RUSH HIM INTO DOING SOMETHING JUST DO NOT HAVE THIS POWER. OH, BOY, HERE IS NOT DIFFICULT IS JUST REAL HARD TO SURRENDER, CONFESS MY SHORTCOMINGS, I MUCH RATHER CONFESS YOUR SHORTCOMINGS - THEN COMES THE SERVICE PART WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING BACK AND REMEMBER NOT TO TELL ANY ONE ABOUT THIS. GOD REALLY DOES NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR A HUMAN LIKE ME FULL OF MYSELF. I PRAY FOR YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR ME I NEED IT BADLY. MAY THIS STUDY HELP US TO GAIN SOME SELF CONTROL AND PUT SMILE IN GOD'S FACE. JESUS AGUILAR.
  24. May the good LORD guide my thoguths! The fact is that I am convinced that Jesus lives in my heart in a way that is miraculous I surrended and prayed and asked HIM to come I opened my heart to HIm and I asked to be my Savior, my King, the Director of my life and by His Grace I am alive in the Spirit, by His Mercy I have been forgiven and by His Love I am able to confess to you that JESUS lives and I live my life one day at a time as if I walk in His presence. Many at times I fall during my day, but I am aware of His mercy and I get up and repent and keep on going and at the end of my day I go in my knees to thank Him for another day and to review my day and see where I fail short, He forgives me and gives me the oportunity to start over again. I am convinced that the book of revelation is a book of truth and the world must be destroy, before a new world comes as the book says. Looking back at my life. My old life had to be destroy before a new life come to involved me in the Spirit of our GOOD LORD JESUS CHRIST. I pray that each one of us do something different today something different from the way we lived yesterday and offer that to God Amen. Be with GOD always. Your brother in Christ Jesus. Jesus A.
  25. "Be wholly as I am Wholly" Powerful statement from God this is not to take lightly, instead we must take this to heart and see how powerless we are without Him by myself I can only do a little whith Him I can do all things that are right and bring peace and joy in peoples lives. John drives the point home several times for those who did not hear the first time become aware the second or third time. God loves his children and through His grace we are alive today and through his mercy we have been forgiven and brought to a new way of living. Living by the Word of God. We are not wholly yet, instead we keep making mistakes to santifie our lives so we can become wholly as He is so we can enter the gates by His grace and our faith. Faith without works is dead By faith I show you the works of my Savior Christ Jesus and invite you to pray in thanks given for His blessings for this forum. Your brother in Christ Jesus. Jesus A.
