God's Broken Heart

God is weeping over America. This is not a God fearing country any more (if it ever was). Man's law is perverted. The freedom we brag about is only a sham and disgrace. We are under multiple dictators all hiding behind judicial robes and political position, immoral self proclaimed leaders, enemy's of freedom and fairness. God will hold each of these judges and politicians accountable. "To whom much is given, much is required". I pray for these poor, deceived souls........for the night comes.

7-1-2015         Luke 6:20

S.       20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

O.      God’s kingdom is for all!

A.      Poverty is not a socioeconomic factor in God’s kingdom. All people have the same standing, love and opportunity to overcome sin and enjoy rich fellowship.

P.       Father; help me teach what real poverty is to this up side world. How that money has little to do with poverty. I am thankful to be your son and enjoy rich fellowship. Help me to encourage everyone I meet. Amen. 

Poor Leadership

More trouble in Paradise. Leaders are saying one thing on camera and then denying that they ever said it. A double-minded person is unstable in every way. Stop following these people......follow God!

S.O.A.P.

5-1-2015         Luke 1:14-17

S.       15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

O.      John would live a dedicated life and lead many to God.

A.      Living differently than others has always been a hallmark of the dedicated Christian. Avoiding sin and compromising situations defines what it is to “be” a Christian. Being “filled” with the Holy Ghost is the secret to success in overcoming sin.

    P.       Father; fill me with the Holy Ghost and display your                     Grace through me. Amen.   

Deviants

I will give my sermon notes to the Mayor of Houston if she will read aloud every word to the city council in open session. She might help some hurting person to hear the truth.....and be saved, healed, delivered or just be encouraged. If she is confident in the decision to live her gay lifestyle, why is she afraid of others that want to live their lifestyle. Simple statistical comparison shows that "she" (and others like her) has deviated from the norm. There are more people unlike her than like her. Makes you think.

10-16-2014    Mark 5:21-24

S.       21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

O.      Jesus is asked to come and heal a ruler’s sick daughter. As they are traveling to the ruler’s house large crowds gather and hinder their progress.

A.      Large crowds are often present when Jesus is teaching and preaching. This would make it very difficult for him to travel from place to place. Not one time do I see Jesus complaining or upset by this difficulty, he just kept moving toward his destination and ministering as he went. I must be careful about complaining in difficult situations and be sure to minister (represent Jesus) as I go.

     P.       Father; thank you for showing me this aspect of how Jesus dealt with problems. I want to be like Jesus and                       minister to others, even in my difficulties. Fill me with wisdom, love and grace. Amen.  

Fake Christians

Pushing myself today to get started. This is my pattern more and more. The bones are tired from all the stress and labor. Some would say; Get more exercise, eat the right foods and you will feel better. It's not my body that is slow to get started, it's my heart (soul). With all this murder and war, lazy president, stupid politicians and Christians that don't have a clue.......I am wearing out. I pray, I visit, I pray, I preach and teach, I pray, I wright, I pray. Wake up Christians......If you are sinning you are NOT GOD'S CHILD! You must ACT like your farther. If you are ACTING like satan (I never capitalize that wicked name) then he must be your father.

"You ARE what you DO, you DO what you ARE"!

10-4-2014      Mark 4:13-20

S.       13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?14 The sower soweth the word.15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

O.      Jesus gives three examples of how people receive the word of God.

A.      I will prepare myself to receive the word and be a fruitful servant. I will keep my heart and mind fixed in the word of God; I will share the truth with as many others as I can. I will confess my sin and seek to change any aspect of my life, that I will be obedient to my Lord.

P.       Father; I am weak and feeble and I need your help. Direct my path and speak your will into my heart. Amen. 

Outside-inside or Inside-outside?

Working out is so hard for me. I want my efforts to produce instant results. Long term, slow progress is not my thing. This is what I see in many Christians when it comes to spiritual efforts. Christians today want instant gratification. You do not get into an obese condition instantly nor do you become anemic over night. This is also true of our spirit. Keep praying, studying and attending Gods house.....in the long run you will be healthier. 

10-3-2014      Mark 4:10-

S.       10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them

O.      Jesus sets a clear distinction between those on the inside and those on the outside of faith. Conversion is the key to understanding.

A.      I must move closer to God, learn his ways and serve his will. I must be changed! I surrender my pride, arrogance, anger, greed and selfishness.

P.       Father; re-make me like unto your son, Jesus. Create in me a pure heart, mind and soul as I willingly surrender my whole being to you. Amen.  

Going to Hell?

When will the leaders in America wake up to the depth or religious commitment in the hearts of man. These Islamic fanatics that are covering the globe with their hate and evil are not swayed by fear or deterred by  political maneuvering. The souls of these people are filled with evil. They are the tools of hate, vengeance and destruction to be used on anyone that is not "just like them".
Christians arise! Every one of these poor souls is headed to their own destruction in HELL! Pray for their lost souls. Ask God to send conviction into their hearts. Fight the war that can change their eternity.

10-1-2014      Mark 4:1-2

S.       1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

O.      Jesus spends time teaching his new doctrine.

A.      Teaching is important for all believers. I must constantly learn that I may teach others and keep the faith active and alive in our lives.

P.       Father; send your Spirit to instruct my learning. Reveal the truth to me that I teach no other doctrines. Teach me to be humble and useful. Amen. 

Trouble Makers

Stop that! My grandchild must think that is his name. Every few seconds....stop that....stop that....poor child stays in trouble. I wish God would yell at us some time. We seem to go about our way as if nothing matters, doing just what we want to do even when we know it's wrong. Why are we so stubborn? 

9-13-2014      Mark 1:35

S.       35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

O.      Jesus, a praying man.

A.      I shall be a praying man.

P.       Father; Jesus walked on this earth as a man to be my example. His life was filled with prayer and supplication. Hear my prayer today Father God and help me to be like Jesus. Forgive my sin, fill me with your Spirit, heal my body and cleanse my mind of all unclean thoughts. Amen.
