Act 20:26
Wherefore I take
you to record this day, that I am
pure from the
blood of all men.
Act 20:27
For I have not
shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
God.
Act 20:28
Take heed therefore
unto yourselves, and to all the
flock, over
the which the Holy
Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the
church of God,
which he hath purchased with
his own blood.
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have eternal life. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant
had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for
the second. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them,
he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house
of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by
the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the
Lord. Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write
them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people: Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach
every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will
I remember no more. Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new
covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth
and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Today If You Hear
His Voice
Heb 3:15 While
it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation. Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary : PROVOCATION, 1: the
act of provoking: incitement 2: something that provokes,
arouses,or stimulates. Ninty-five percent of todays so called
ministers of the gospel, especially, the ones that come on
television. I used to beleive they didn't know what they were
doing or didn't know any better. But the more I watch and listen
to them, the more I have come to realize, they do. Do they not
know or understand, every idle word that comes out of their
mouth will have to be accounted for, do they not know when thus
saith the Lord comes out, that the Lord better have said it? The
way our economy is at this point in time we do not have 41
dollars or 50, or 75 or 100 or whatever you can send, especially
to them to do more people the same way they are doing us. They
could care less about your finances, or your salvation. They
give you half the sermon then you have to pay for the second
half. Brothers and sisters this is not right this is totally
wrong. Provoked yes indeed I am, when they try to arouse and
stimulate me to give to there cause and say it is GODS will yes
I am provoked they say it is GODS, when you send them a check
make it out to the LORD see how many get cashed "Please read
these few scriptures" and think about what you are doing before
you send these so called ministers of the ALMIGHTY GOD your hard
earned money: Act 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things,
before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of
these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in
a corner. Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Act
2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the
patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulchre is with us unto this day. Rom 3:24 Being justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus: Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered
him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us
all things? 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God.2Co 11:7 Have I
committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted,
because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? Rev
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of
the fountain of the water of life freely. Rev 22:17 And the
Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let
him take the water of life freely Meditate on these few
scriptures for a moment, think about what they are saying. Did
not Christ get angry and turn over the money changers tables in
the Temple that was buying and selling? was it wrong for them to
do this? why of course it was, did He change His mind and say it
is alright to do it now? I think not. Scripture hasn't changed,
man has. Following is an excerpt from the annointed pen of A.P. Adam who
wrote from about 1885 to 1925 "PURPOSE IN CREATION." You can
read the whole article on the web-site of J.P.Eby
http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/index1.htm In all such cases of the use of the term life we are not
referring to different kinds of life considered in its essence,
but to different manners or styles of living. The Bible uses the
word in the same way. For example, Jesus said, "Take heed, and
beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesses." Again he says "Take
no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, neither for the
body, what ye shall put on; the life is more than meat, and the
body is more than the raiment." Our Lord is not here speaking of
life in itself, bare existence, but of a person's manner or
style of living. Now, when I speak of possessing the life of
God, I mean that in some slight degree the believer may live
after God's style. He may in a measure have His peace; he may
avail himself of God's unchangeableness; he may by faith make
God's omnipotence his own (Mark 10:27 with 9:23), and, so hiding
under the shadow of the Almighty, he may become a child of the
Highest (Luke 6:35) in all kindness, mercy, forbearance, and
love. In a word he may view all things from God's standpoint,
instead of from man's, and so in a measure live the life of God.
We may come into such close relationship to Him as that our life
in a great measure will run along in harmony with His. We shall
live with God. His manner of life will be ours; His standpoint
will be ours; His thoughts and feelings will be ours. We may
even say His attributes will be ours; His peace, His power, His
wisdom, His goodness, Himself will be ours. Our life will blend
with His and His life will become ours. "For all things are
yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are
yours; and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's." All this, of
course, is not in its perfection, not in its fullness. It is not
"what we shall be". That "doth not yet appear"; and yet it is a
real experience, a positive fact, that life of God begun here
and now, although in the perfect and fullest sense we are not
made alive unto "His coming" (1st Cor. 15:23). Surely the advanced Christian is conscious of such a life begun
in him "in the inward man"; and it is "being renewed day by
day". It is a secret, a hidden life, "which no man knoweth,
saving he that receiveth it". It makes him totally different
from the natural man. Everything looks different to him from
what it does to the one who is destitute of this life. The
interpretation that he would put upon events and the conclusions
he would draw therefrom are entirely different, and, in fact,
oftentimes directly opposite to the worldly man's
interpretations and conclusions. Where the latter sees chance,
or wicked men, or perhaps the devil, the former sees only God.
Where the latter man feels fretted, perplexed, angry, indignant,
rebellious, the former finds reason for praise, gratitude, and
thanksgiving. To him "all things are of God"; hence all things
are good, and will result in good. There is nothing that can
possibly take place in all the wide circle of the universe that
shall not in the end redound to God's honor and glory, and the
highest welfare of all His creatures. And now mark! All this is part and parcel of the creative
process, bringing the creature to the life of the Creator, which
is the end of creation. There is no pleasure in lifeless things
or things non-intelligent except as they contribute in some way
to the enjoyment and development of life. Hence I repeat, life
or "the life of God" is to the end of creation. We see also in
this view how all things contribute to the perfection of
creation, and how all things are so needful to that end.
Everything gives God occasion and opportunity to reveal himself
to man. For this purpose nothing comes amiss. All things to this
end can be utilized, the evil as well as the good. The Bible is
full of illustrations of this truth, that is, how God reveals
Himself to man by means of all things, and, on the natural
plane, especially by evil things. For this purpose He manifested His power and wrath upon Pharaoh
and the Egyptians (Ex. 7:5, 17: 14:4, 18), hardening his heart
that he should not let the people go, that He might work all His
pleasure upon that devoted people, "to the end that they might
know the Lord". Ex. 8:22. "Even for this same purpose did God
raise Pharaoh up, that He might show His power in him, and that
His name might be declared throughout all of the earth". And
"Who art thou, 0 man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing
formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus?
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?" Romans
9. Here again is a very striking illustration of how "all things
are of God". He is the potter; man is the clay in His hands
(Isa. 64:8). Also we see how "He worketh all things after the
counsel of His own will", and "none can stay His hands or say
unto Him, What doest Thou?" CONTINUED ON NEXT

Joh 1:6 There was a
man sent from God, whose name was John. Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
Light, that all men through him might believe. Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light. Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and
the world knew him not. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth. And also to fulfill the word
of GOD.
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory: Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus: Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour,
striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
All Praise And Glory to the FATHER
Php 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through
your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Php 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that
in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as
always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
whether it be by life, or by death. Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Php 1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my
labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
