1 Corinthians Chap. 15 verses 54 -56 Tells us that the strength of sin is the law
but as we see in Romans chap 10 ver 4 Christ is the end of law for righteousness.
because He willingly lay down His life we are free from the sin law and now have a holy law as chap 7 verses 12, 22, 25 tells us.
Romans chap 6 verse 16 tells us VERY CLEARLY that we are in sin; servants to sin, if we do sinful things.
Now how can you say you are going to heaven just because you are saved by grace if you are sinning ?
If you are a servant to sin then you are serving Satan instead of God and sin will not enter into the kingdom of God.
If you go out into a storm with an umbrella then you are protected from the rain BUT should you remove that umbrella, you are no longer covered and will get wet because YOU removed the protection.
So how do you keep from getting wet?
Put the umbrella back where it belongs upright and fully open so that you have complete protection.
a partially open umbrella will let the storm come in under it.
Do you understand what God is saying to you here!
Romans chap 8 verses 1, 2, 12, 14 tells you that there is no excuse for sinning
because there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, because they walk after the spirit and not after the flesh.
If you are walking after the flesh then you need to examine your life closer
and make sure you have accepted Jesus and start walking after the spirit instead of the flesh.
Romans chap 10 verse 10 tells you "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
now if you are confessing with the mouth that you are saved and believing with the heart to be saved
then you will not willingly and knowingly go out and sin
because YOU KNOW that God said not to do it,
just because you are not under the law, its not ok to sin .
In Romans chap 12 He tells us clearly to present ourselves holy unto God.
now how are we doing that if we are sinning?
In no manner or shape or form are we supposed to willingly, knowingly sin,
we are not to yield our members (eyes - ears - hands - feet - mouth etc.) to Satan.
It is best said in Ephesians chapter 5 verse 8:
FOR YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS, BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT.
So Turn that light back on and walk as children of God instead of children of Satan.

We are one body in Christ, we are all saved through Jesus Christ,
so why do some of us think we are better than the church across the road?
Lets look at a symbolism if you will;
The preacher, the deacon, teachers, the singer, the pianist, the congregation.
Now here we have the head (preacher)
One arm (the deacon)
Another arm (teachers)
One leg (the singer)
Another leg (the pianist)
Body (congregation)
Now let's analyze what we have here today.
We have the arms, the legs, and the head but the body is slowly diminishing because they are not active.
We have told the congregation what to do for so long that they have become pew warmers and do not know what to do any more.
The head cannot work without the body.
The arms cannot work without the body.
The legs cannot work without the body.
So what do we have?
A dead lifeless body waiting on it's other members in order to work.
It takes a complete body to work.
People it is time that we got out of our seats, out of doctrines and start working for God instead of the church.
The church board will not get you into heaven only Jesus Christ can do that.
We have turned our churches into organizations instead of God anointed meetings.
We have taken God out and put in greed and pride.
Where is your faith?
Get up and start praising and worshipping God.
Don't just sit there like a dead chunk of wood.
Just lift your hands and start praising God and if you feel that you are not welcome to worship God
then I suggest you find a place where you can because a dead body is not going to make it in.
We have let forums take over our churches and that is not what God wants.
He wants a church to worship and praise Him.
We go to church to hear the preaching, the teaching, the singing and to WORSHIP God not just one of these alone.
Let God's Spirit move in your life, just start praising and magnifying His glorious name, lifting up songs of love and praise to Him.
You need to fall in love with the master all over again.
Go about your day telling Him how much you love him, how much you thank Him for.
Just lift up your voice in praise and the rest will follow.
It's time to wake up church!
You have been asleep for too long now.
I love you Lord and I magnify your Holy name.
I worship you, I worship you Lord.
I thank you Lord for saving me,
I thank you for all that you do Father.
I love you Lord.

Eph 5:20
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Thank you Lord for the cough; I know that my lungs are working.
Thank you Lord for the earache; I have ears with which I can hear with.
Thank you Lord for tired burning eyes; I have eyes to see with.
Thank you Lord for sore tired feet; I have feet and legs on which I can stand, walk, & run.
Thank you Lord for aching arthritic hands; I have hands to hold my grandbabies with.
Thank you Lord for the chest pains; I have a heart with which to feel and share love.
Thank you Lord for the backache; I have a body with which to give you glory.
Thank you Lord God Almighty for all that you have given to me.
Thank you for all the aches and pains that help me to remember that I have a complete body, that so many do not have and would be so grateful for.
Thank you for the small things in life like a flower budding out.
Thank you for the bigger things in life like a soul being saved.
I just thank you Lord for everything that I see, hear, feel, smell, and taste.
I thank you for loving me enough to save my wretched soul.
I love you Lord God Almighty and I proudly proclaim this to the world today.
An Ambassador for Christ

What have we done with the word of God?
Have we hid it under a bushel?
Have we put it up on a shelf instead of using it?
Just what have we done with it all this time?
How many times have you picked up your bible and read it with a great hunger and thirst for His righteousness?
Almost every home has a bible, either lying on their coffee table as a memoir from a loved one gone on before or a gift from anther family member or on their bedside stand.
How many times have you picked up that big old family bible, brushed off the dust and actually read it?
We take for granted every single day what we have readily accessible because we have gotten so used to it being there without stopping to realize there is coming a time when we won't be allowed to have it.
There is coming a day when it will be one of the forbidden books.
It will not be laying there on that table or stand in plain view then.
Where will you find the meat of the word then?
Where will you find the knowledge you seek then in that day of darkness?
Some people have hungered and thirsted after His righteousness and per-took of His Holy word.
Some have not so much as read it.
Some have relied upon others teachings to tell them what the word says and to lead them taking what they say as being the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
They have failed to seek God on their own and have been misled as a result and refuse to see it, but they will when that day of darkness arrives.
When that day of darkness comes you will have to dig deep for that knowledge that you so desire.
You will have to dig deep within yourself trying to find the knowledge that you have buried so deep below the surface.
Put the knowledge into your heart while you still can.
God spoke to me through a vision last night showing me what we have done to His word!
He showed me what it was before mankind touched it.
He said, " This is what it was before man touched it".
It was to be eaten and bitter to the taste, we had buried it so deep that when we went seeking we had to dig way below the surface to find it.
Mankind has destroyed God's word.
We have turned it around, upside down, inside out,
dissected it every way possible to cover mankind’s actions.
People get rid of your excuses, pick up that bible, brush the dust off of it and begin eating while you still have the chance to put it into your heart.
Read it as if you are searching for the most valuable thing on earth, which it is...
Ask for knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
After you have read it, read it again and again and again.
Let His word become part of you.
Some of you are thinking I am to hard spoken.
No I am not hard enough, and Let me assure you I am not here to become popular with anyone.
I am here to spread God's word to those that will receive Him.
