It is going on two years and everyone is getting impatient with what seems to be taking forever. But there is a reason why: 2 Peter 3:9 (New Living Translation) The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. This is what true love is about. I would have toasted the bad guys by now. That is another reason why God doesn't ask for my opinion. He too will only take so much before he reacts. Just remember this: Matthew 16:25 (New Living Translation) If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. It is time to repent and turn our life over to Jesus Christ. If we don't, the Lake of Fire will be our next home. Jesus would rather we be in the Kingdom of God with him. 03/06/2025 Isaiah 25:1 (New Living Translation) O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them. One guy described "my God" as a gentlemen. I never heard God described like that. He explained that he prayed to God to get him out of situations where he was arrested and he would serve him. God came to his aid two more times until he finally gave his entire life to our Lord. God was truly gracious to him while waiting for him to give up his old life. "Gentlemen" does fit our God. The phrase "You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them." was before Jesus came. His Son was his greatest accomplishment and it had not been accomplished yet. The moral of this story is God has accomplished many things up to everyone's present day. Some of us may be used years into the future to accomplish things for God. They were planned long ago but God will always be accomplishing new things using us in the future. How do we know this, "Jesus is Lord"! 01/09/2025 Matthew 6:19-21 NLT “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. One thing about serving God the way he wants, we automatically begin storing treasure in the Kingdom of God. It becomes difficult to serve God when we are building treasure on earth to. God does call people in business to be successful. But what do we do with that success? It is OK to have cool things but we are also to invest in people whom circumstances dealt a blow to their life. We will not see it if we do not look. If we begin to have more treasure stored on earth than in heaven it is time for a heart adjustment. Do not let your heart take your salvation from you. Your success can make you reject Jesus Christ when you began to live your life separate from him. When we do use our blessings for other people always remember this: Matthew 6:1-4 NLT Teaching about Giving to the Needy 6 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. 2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. 3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. It is OK to keep your spouse in the loop to let them know what you are up too. "Jesus will always be Lord" 04/28/2025 Philippians 2:5-8 NLT You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. If you are experiencing attacks from the enemy you are getting there. The more you conform to Christ, the more angry the enemy gets. The amount you get on his nerves, tells you how much you are serving God. Keep up the effort because "Jesus is Lord". We probably can put our names in place of Peters in this verse. Luke 22:31-32 NLT Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.32 But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. Our King does not want us to fail. 04/05/2024 We all know that this is the plan that the Old Testament talked about: Ephesians 1:7 (New International Version) In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. This may surprise you, but I believe God envisioned this when he created Adam: This is Laminin. The molecule Laminin is the protein that holds all human beings together. Did you notice its shape? It’s a cross! Isn't it amazing that God knew we would need the cross when He created us. He knew when He created us that we would sin. He knew we would need a Savior. He knew His only Son Jesus would have to die on the cross to save us, and so He made the very molecule that holds our entire bodies together in the shape of a cross. Molecular biologists call Laminin “the glue of the body,” because without it, our bodies would fall apart. The truth is, without Jesus and what He did for us on the cross, our whole lives would fall apart. Colossians 1:17 says that Jesus “is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Jesus is the one who holds our lives together, just like Laminin holds our bodies together. Without Jesus, our lives are a mess. We are nothing without the cross of Jesus Christ! 10/29/2024 A black woman had a dream from God. God revealed to her that President Trump is not a great orator and does have sin in his life. He then told her, "I have seen his heart, and I see he wants righteousness for my nation of America. That is the reason that I have chosen him for what I am about to do." But many pastors and Christians are like this: Luke 18:9-15 NLT Parable of the Christian and President Trump 9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Christian, and the other was a despised president. 11 The Christian stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that president! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ 13 “But President stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Christian, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” I know that I substituted Christian for Pharisee and President Trump for tax collector, but the verse is still true. I have always liked President Trump even if he has sin in his life. I totally understand him because I too have sin in my life but because of Jesus Christ who forgives sin has forgotten our past sins and is interested what we are doing now. Even though we both are trying to live more like Christ we will never get there 100% because it is written: Romans 3:23 NLT For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. This means our past; present and future life is going to contain sin or the consequences of sin. So, you sinner, get off the sins of Donald Trump and vote and support a man who wants righteousness for this nation. God sent his son to save the individual from hell and Donald Trump to save a nation. God definitely picked the right man for this job. Donald Trump 2024 07/20/2024 A lot of hospitals use ultraviolet light to kill pathogens that are lurking in the midst. So, it is with God's light. When his light is present the disease of sin decreases its intensity. It may even flee. Hospitals also use disinfectants to finish the job. Infections are a serious thing when they get started in the patient. God uses the blood of his Son to completely disinfect us. After all we do not want to affect the body by being unclean. Having fellowship with godly people will help prevent the infection of sin from coming back. They will also make you accountable. 1 John 1:7 NLT But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. 10/03/2022 After witnessing to the gangs in a Commerce City park, my buddy began witnessing on the street on Saturday night. Soon people started lining up to be prayed for. It is amazing how many people are out on the street after dark. The streets many times are even busy at 2:00 a.m. Later that evening, nine priest came up to him and talked him about him praying over the people. Earlier, they just came from a meeting and they were cruising the town and they noticed that there was about a dozen people waiting in line to be prayed for by my buddy. My buddy always places his hand on the person he is praying for. Lately, God has been bringing a lot of people to him. The people out on the street are becoming hungry for God. Those priests just sat there in their van and watched him for at least 15 minutes before they walked over to talk to him. After the priest conversed with him, my buddy asked the priests if they ever accepted Jesus Christ. It seems like an odd question to be asking a priest but they paused for a moment. They had to admit that none of them had. He began to explain to them about having that personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This brought me back to the story in John where Jesus was talking with Nicodemus. John 3 New Living Translation 1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. 2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” 9 “How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked. 10 Jesus replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? 11 I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. 12 But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. These priest are like Nicodemus because they know things of God but have separated themselves from God. Until we give our hearts to Jesus we will never see the Kingdom of God. After we give our hearts to Jesus, he will send his Spirit in return. The Holy Spirit can make us bold for God's Kingdom. The gifts from his Spirit he gives us will edify the body of his church. Jesus is much more than something that exists. He wants to live in us as we live for him. My buddy has many stories on this kind of living and I am trying to write a lot of it down. If God wanted me to, I could write multiple books on living for God in just what happens in our Ministry. If you want excitement in your life, Live for God! Those priests began to cry as they began living for Jesus. They asked my buddy to meet them the next day. They wanted to ask him questions about what they need to do to better serve God. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen to their congregations when they become on fire for Jesus Christ. The same is true for you. Could you imagine how that same personal relationship with Jesus Christ would impact the people you come into contact with. It is our time to change the world for Jesus Christ. Isaiah 33:22 New Living Translation 22 For the Lord is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us. 06/09/2022 Almost every church will talk about the awesome grace we have received from Jesus Christ: John 3:17 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. But the church does not want to deal with comes next. This is not a feel good message in this verse: Matthew 7:13-14 (New Living Translation) “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Just think of viewing 100 people and more than 50 are going to hell. This may even mean someone sitting next to you in church may not be saved. If you don't believe me than why did Jesus say this: Mathew 7:21 I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. 22 When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ 23 Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’ So since Jesus Christ is unchangeable and always speaks the truth, why did he say this. We all have a free will and have to choose him. I always notice that in the summer months church attendance drops. Even Bible studies get canceled. Where in the Bible does it say we serve a winter God? We have a gang ministry and we feed hungry families each week. What would it be like to tell God to stick it because it messes with our summer plans of fun? That is what many Christians do every summer. If someone views your life and the life of the ungodly and cannot tell the difference this better be a wake up call. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and change your life for him. If our mind is not on serving God year around we only deceive ourselves. Don't let Jesus Christ say, "I never knew you." 10/24/2024 America is paying a price for being disobedient to God. Deuteronomy explains what happens when a nation quits obeying God: Deuteronomy 28:15-24 NLT Curses for Disobedience 15 “But if you refuse to listen to the Lord your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you: 16 Your towns and your fields will be cursed. {You see it in the Blue cities today} 17 Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be cursed. {Just had recalls on bad onions and beef.} 18 Your children and your crops will be cursed. {Kids don't know their gender today} The offspring of your herds and flocks will be cursed. {Check out the bird flu } 19 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be cursed. {Definitely see it in California, but it is spreading} 20 “The Lord himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me. {Confusion and frustation is everywhere. Road rage is a good example} 21 The Lord will afflict you with diseases until none of you are left in the land you are about to enter and occupy. {Have not forgot about the scamdemic. They sure tried to kill us.} 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting diseases, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These disasters will pursue you until you die. {There are lots of sick people today and I personally faced the scorching heat and drought on the land.} 23 The skies above will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth beneath will be as hard as iron. {Some say this means that our prayers just bounce back.} 24 The Lord will change the rain that falls on your land into powder, and dust will pour down from the sky until you are destroyed. {Witnessed this one too. I was not destroyed by the dust though. It is almost like they are talking about chemtrails. Those definitely create dust from the sky.} These things all happen to Israel when they disobeyed God. We are feeling the beginning of Deuteronomy 28:15 in our nation today. We deserve everything that is happening, but God has other plans for America. His son wants to use America to bring the word to the entire world before he returns which is soon. But when Israel came back to God, he turned all these bad things off and blessed the nation again. Lucky for us, God decided to do the same for us. We did not deserve it. We have to fall in behind the will of God. Since God is giving mercy to America, we need to pay attention to how we are living for our King. Mercy is not a get out of jail card free. Hebrews talks about those who abuse mercy: Hebrews 10:26-27 NLT 26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27 There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. The harvest is great, and we need to be in our top form when we preach the gospel to the world. After all, everyone is watching us. We need to show people the life that our King showed us when he was on the Earth. Our King came so that no man would parish. If we truly loved people, we would want to go after them like our King did when he was on earth. I know this irritates a lot of people but "JESUS CHRIST IS LORD and is also the KING OF KINGS." 09/21/2024 Another TikTok find: The greatest man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called him master. He had no degree, yet they called him teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called him healer. He had no army, yet kings feared him. He won no military battles yet conquered the world. He did not live in a castle, yet they called him Lord. He ruled no nations, yet they called him King. He committed no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today. His Kingdom is not of this world, yet it lies within the hearts of those who believe. He spoke of love and forgiveness and his words have transformed millions. He offers no material wealth, yet we consider him the treasure of our lives. He promises no earthly power yet in his name the powerless have found strength. Though he left no written words his messages have filled countless pages. In his weakness we find our strength. In his suffering our salvation. Jesus the greatest man in history continues to invite us to the story of redemption, love and eternal life. His name is Jesus Christ. 10/10/2024 Anton lavay, the man who wrote the satanic bible said that he is pleased that Christians worship satan on halloween every year. Did you ever ask yourself what God thought about halloween. Paul recorded this: 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 KJV 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil You need to pray against this day and do something to honor our Lord instead. I wiil not serve Satan in any way. Instead bind him up so he will leave my presence. Only the Holy Spirit can give true satisfaction. 05/22/2022 Are you becoming fearful about what is going on? If you are, the enemy has you where he wants you. Fear is not in God's vocabulary. David has an answer to bad news: Psalm 112:6-7 Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. But God will use fear against those who do not love him. Deuteronomy 11:25 No one will be able to stand against you, for the Lord your God will cause the people to fear and dread you, as he promised, wherever you go in the whole land. Paul verifies that fear is not from God: 2 Timothy 1:7 New Living Translation 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. Being born again with the Holy Spirit does this to us. It is difficult to do what Paul said to Timothy on our own. That is one reason Jesus sent the comforter to us. Just remember that Jesus Christ never abandons us even in our weaknesses. Romans 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. Do not fear tomorrow no matter what the news may show. Mainstream media lies all the time to get us in a frenzy and fearful. These verses show that God is in control. You will be shocked to find out what our awesome God is up to. I believe the evidence is coming soon. His light will penetrate the darkness revealing everything the enemy is up to. Remain bold and confident that God is with you. Our God is honoring the prayers of the humble and covenant with the pilgrims. Jesus Christ wants to use the vast resources of the United States to reach the world to hear his glorious name. So just relax and enjoy what is about to happen. 05/20/2025 Are you like me where the people around you seem to do all kinds of dumb stuff? I also know that I have been in the presence of people who are amazing like President Trump and Elon Musk. This is what God wants from us when dealing with his people: Romans 15:5-6 NLT May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even more than ourselves giving glory to God, it is more important that we can do it with others. It can be work but he loves harmony even with those who do not get it. He also loves it when we praise God in one voice. We need to do it because "Jesus is Lord" 04/22/2022 As an American I have no problem seeing God in creation. When I went to college, I had a cource in thermodynamics. The 2nd law is that everything goes from a higher order to a lower order. This means great amounts of energy have to be used to counter the 2nd law. This is why God is important to creation. He is the only one who has the energy to pull it off. Boy did he do a good job. Romans 1:20 (New Living Translation) For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. We are still needed. Some say their god created the earth. Its our job to tell them about the true God and Jesus. We should live and love like Christ to convince those who have rebelled against God what they are missing. 05/04/2025 As Christians we are exposed to the word faith a lot. In fact, the level of our faith and how we seek after him is what pleases God: Hebrews 11:6 NLT And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Most people stop here but there is so much more to be said about extreme faith. Those people who have it are like this: Hebrews 11:35-38 NLT But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. 36 Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. 37 Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. 38 They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground. I always wonder how I would respond if I was held captive because of Jesus Christ and I could see the saw that was about to cut me in half, would my flesh cave in this situation? I firmly believe we all need the power of the Holy Spirit along with strong faith to overcome this scenario. I am thankful that I have not been tested like many who have given their lives for Jesus Christ. The world will never be able to offer what only Jesus Christ can give. I am also thankful that "Jesus is Lord". 08/18/2022 As Christians we know there is forgiveness of sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. This can be a trap for Christians if they do not understand the full meaning of what Jesus did. Jesus will erase those sins forever but you may face consequences for your actions. Others around you may also be effected by what you have done. Jeremiah talks about this: Jeremiah 32:18 You show unfailing love to thousands, but you also bring the consequences of one generation’s sin upon the next. You are the great and powerful God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. America has many idols today which money is number 1. Our past sins could even cause this: Ezekiel 44:12 But they encouraged my people to worship idols, causing Israel to fall into deep sin. So I have taken a solemn oath that they must bear the consequences for their sins, says the Sovereign Lord. This is why God wants us to live the clean life to prevent hardships on ourselves and on others. Paul confirms this: 2 Corinthians 7:1 (New Living Translation) Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. When I was in college, youth makes us feel invicible. I had a guy tell me he was going to continue having worldly fun and ask for forgiveness later. Even you young people are not guaranteed tomorrow. Lets start serving Jesus Christ today and continue to do so. We do not want to reap the wrath of the consequences of our sin. Let us also think about others so they are not effected by the consequences of our sin either. 05/27/2025 As I grow older I began to learn what is important. I may not be as enthused as Paul was but I am getting there more each day: Acts 20:24 NLT But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. Since Jesus is Lord, our attitude should reflect what Paul was talking about. 06/05/2024 As I was growing up I was like anyone else looking for friends. The friends I was most grateful for are the ones who Jesus Christ was a part of their life. Friends who know Christ do not like it when any sort of evil is present. We only did things that were honorable to our King. We had lots of fun. I did a lot of dirt biking growing up and I did have friends of the world who were also interested in what I liked and we did hang out during the day. I never found anyone who liked Jesus and dirt bikes. That was as far as I would go because of the excessive beer drinking and drugs that they did at night. It is true that bring up your children with godly perspectives does work. I knew what was right and I had the support of my friends in Christ. The bible talks about worldly friends and what things you can expect from them: 2 Timothy 3:4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. James 4:4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 1 Peter 4:4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. You know you have a real friend if this happens: John 15:13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Jesus wants to be your friend: John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. Romans 5:11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. They say you can't take anything into heaven when you die. This is not true. If your friend loves Jesus he will be there in God's Kingdom too. Who knows that may be someone that you bring to Christ. They now need a friend who is on God's side: Revelation 3:20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. 06/16/2022 As we read God's word we begin to understand who God is. We can see he is the ultimate Father: Psalm 103:13 (New Living Translation) The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. Until we have that reverance for God we continue to miss out on the wonderful things our King has to offer us. God is a lot of ways like earthly fathers in that: Proverbs 23:24 (New Living Translation) The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise. Don't kid yourself our God has joy when we live a godly life and we use the wisdom he gives us. We focus on becoming citizens of heaven. As this verse says: Philippians 3:20 (New Living Translation) But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. With all the weird things going on it may be sooner than we think. Let's stay focused on Jesus so it will be impossible to miss him when he comes back.
