Spiritual practices offer peace and Acceptance

Connect with your God

In front steps of his career and the challenges of daily life can leave us feeling lonely, stressed and anxious. As we face financial and emotional stress of having a house, a car, work (or work), children and a spouse in this world too busy?

Spiritual practices can help us navigate through the turmoil of work and life transitions with more acceptance and peace. Here, I present three simple spiritual practices that can help us to live life from a more supportive, encouraging prospects.

These practices may help to switch from normal to react to life's problems, to walk a path of more peace and acceptance. However, before introducing these spiritual practices, we must realize that not of ourselves, laying down!

We Do not Need Fixing
Self-improvement and most network marketing industry bombards us with ideas that, if fix or change our beliefs, attitudes, old wounds, thinking, objectives, financial situation we will be OK or a success.

There are further burdened by guilt and shame for having created our alleged "called the absence or negative situation with our thoughts, beliefs or unaddressed childhood hurts.

These doctrines egocentric hurt us. Where is the room for God's infinite plan, the work of our soul, even our lifework, within that narrow thinking? There is much, much beyond our control or our imagination, our lives.

Sometimes, but we are vulnerable to the winds swept the dust of change. During these difficult times, such as career change and the challenges of work life, we need compassion for our human condition ... not self-incriminating lessons.

Paradoxically, there is an element of truth in the school of thought that our beliefs, thinking, attitudes and old wounds can affect our quality of life. Holding seemingly irreconcilable opposites like these at the same time is part of the journey of our soul. Clearly, though, our lives are not a problem to be fixed and we are not to blame for every event of life.

"Events occur because conditions are right, and your action contributes to only one of many conditions. Lieh-Tzu

I often hear people complain about their lives, saying it should be later in their careers, relationships, finances, and even in their own growth. However, creating change involves more decision making and targeting.

We are planting seeds that grow our being. Often we become the being that can make the changes that we have. Growing a being is the work of a difficult life of ten-steps-aa-new-you.

This is why a career change or transition of any kind of life can take a lot longer than we expected. The more time I spend on this planet, the more I realize how little is really within my control and how rarely things work based on my time line. Increasingly, I am aware of the hand of God orchestrating life with us, but players on a big stage. Wherever we are at this moment is exactly the place that are intended to be. Yes, we're OK now.

This does not mean we accept hopelessly unworkable or harmful situations in our lives. However, there is a flow and timing of all things. Disdaining our lives and believe that we can only be happy when we have a great career, lose pounds, find the right love, make more money ... not facilitate change or happiness. It only creates more discontent. We can only experience peace and prosperity now, at this time.

Spiritual practices offer peace and acceptance

Following is a brief summary of three spiritual practices by the acronym ABC, which can foster our sense of wellbeing and peace - now. Sometimes, acronyms for learning may seem too cute and annoying, however, could not ignore something that was revealed to me in prayerful meditation.

The practice first, "A = ask for help," begins with the call to our higher power for help. The second practice simple, "B = Breathing Being," reminds us to return to our breath, our bodies and our God The last step in this trio, "C = call for compassion," Kinder teaches us to more compassionate way to deal with life, ourselves and others.

Also, practicing these spiritual ABC showed me the practical value of using simple, easy to remember during stressful times angry or frustrated and dark days. May these spiritual precepts add goodness and peace to your life - as they have mine.

Spiritual ABC

A = ask for help
* Ask God for help: "Please help me navigate through this. Thanks for helping us." God is always there. We often need to reconnect.
* Help Yourself living with gratitude: Give thanks to God for everything and everyone, always.
* Reach out to others: End your isolation to others for help.

B = Breathing Being
* Inhale and exhale Ten Times: Everyone has the transformation time, countdown breath ten.
* Be Still, "Be still and know that I am God." Immobility is the gateway to God
* Being in the body, by being even begin to listen to the needs of our bodies' and learn to take care of our bodies now.

C = Cultivate Compassion
* Pray for compassion: "Please God, help me to find compassion here. Thanks for helping me."
* Look for the Big Picture: When we are angry or frustrated with ourselves or others, we need to reach a broader perspective. Ask: "What is really important here?"
* Restructure the story: We continually spin stories in our minds one way to explain every situation that often has little to do with the greater truth of a situation. Try asking, "How else can I see this?"

3 PATHS OF HEAVEN

Have you ever thought about death, or so-called "After Life", or is it a dark, uncharted territory that you do not want to be bothered with ...

until it is too late?

Some say it's not true ... some say there is a purgatory where the cleansing of the soul happens. Many would say that only part of the clouds into the air and come back again and maybe reincarnate our favorite dog, or a tree or bees in a totally different time and place. But what if there really is a heaven and hell? What happens if the day that you breathe 's last, there really is a place where there is no turning back and you will only realize that bitter, bitter regret when you're there, the seat of opinion and reality dawns you are going to face hell, because you got your heaven? What to do?


It would not be wise, as we are sure of our family and relatives of insurance plans and provisions in case the premature happens, we should look at where our soul is going to go in case of unexpected occurs. After all, if all I say now is nonsense and we simply "disappear" when you die, as some think, you lose nothing. It is as if you've just wasted a teeny, tiny fraction of your time in the botherings this fool writing this. Nothing wrong, right? But if, if for some strange reason I am right, and you realize it until it is too late, you risk losing everything. It is going to be a sin, a shame that you ignored what I tell you this right now.


Well, it's just simple. So simple that even a child of three can understand it. Want to be sure you go to heaven? Here are three easy steps to climb. Yes, it is also easy as ABC!

* *- A dmit you are a sinner and can not save themselves. We are all sinners and we can not go to heaven when you die unless someone takes over and suffer for our sins.

* *- B elieve that Jesus died on the cross for your sins ... and mine too! What has been your punishment, He bore on his body and died the most cruel, violent death for you ... and me! What could be the greatest manifestation of love than the cross of Jesus? Ever seen that famous film Passion of the Christ? It is a lightweight version of what God has gone through great lengths just to save you.


* C *- onfess that Jesus is Lord & and invite him as personal Lord and Savior of your life. For he is the only way, truth and life. No one can come to heaven except through him. John 14:6 ()


That's it! 3 simple ladder to climb!

A safe haven when you die! Now, do not be afraid of death!

So easy, huh!?!


Yes, because the Lord has already done the hardest and most horrifying part. All you have to do is accept. Yes, I agree. Just like a gift, can not be yours until you take the "gift" of salvation will not be true for you unless you take it.

Let me take a simple prayer of faith to accept Jesus in your heart. It 's just one example, you can do yours for you if you like. What counts is the sincere expression of your heart.
Here goes:

"Father in heaven,
I come to you today, humbly admit that I am a sinner saved by grace alone ... Thy grace. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins so I can go to heaven when I die. I confess that Jesus is Lord and that he is the only way for me to have eternal life ... with you. I accept you as my Lord and Savior today. Change me and use me for your glory. In the most powerful name of Jesus I pray,
Amen.


So, congratulations!
See you in heaven then, okay?!
I hope to share with someone you love and then let someone share to someone else, too ...! Talk about the power of one. The sky is a great place, great. Most of us get, the funnier it will be! Share the good news of salvation, my friends!

Bukas Palad Rides High with liturgical music

Singing only to spread the gospel has never played or so beautiful, but this is exactly what the Bukas Palad Music Ministry ago. The fact is that even if they do not compete or do any of the activities of other high-profile professional choirs do, ask people if they have never heard of songs like "Tanging Yaman" or "Sa 'Yo Lamang," and are bound to sing a few verses.

Church choirs on a national scale have been singing Bukas Palad songs for over a decade. One song in particular, "Hindi Kita Malilimutan" was also popularized by Basil Valdez storyteller.

According to a member of Bukas Palad, Reggie gift, their group is not so much on the business side of singing and performing as the other choirs. Although they had their share of appearances as a guest performer well-known concert halls, believe that their singing an apostolate --- deriving joy from touching more lives to achieve popular success.

The beginnings of Bukas Palad started back in June 7, 1986, when there were only nine members of what was then the Ateneo Christian Life Community (ACLC) and University Students Catholic Action (ATSCA) Choir. It was only in 1990 when they recorded their second album, which were officially launched "Bukas Palad Music Ministry." The truth of the matter is, their name was taken from one of the songs on "Pananalangin knows Pagiging Bukas Palad", a Tagalog translation of St. Ignatius of Loyola Prayer for the generosity. "

From a close group of nine, Bukas Palad is now composed of about 80 university students and young professionals. In an interview with some members of the group, Palan Reyes revealed that although not all members are currently active, still support the group projects --- from concerts and recordings, to gather evidence or simply as friends.

"It 's an apostolate for us, a personal commitment. We come from different backgrounds and we are busy with our professions, different. But those who are not as active as before still find time to be with the group. Leaves Nobody really Bukas Palad "said Reyes.

Very different from the likes of structured professional repertoires University of the Philippines and De La Salle University, Bukas Palad members welcome, rather proudly, as a loose and informal group. They have their share of trials (said to be as informal as any evidence can be obtained), meetings, concerts and fund programs and commitment just like the other groups. Over the years, Bukas Palad has successfully resisted even four generations School.

Their only connection dense certainly transcends the ordinary "life" of the most popular. Perhaps it is easy to know that each member indicates to the other, or the common interest and shared roots in the University. Alternatively, their camaraderie has to do with the experience of touching the group with the wife of a coma-headed friend. He woke from his unconsciousness with tears in his eyes after hearing the group sing a particular song.

Whatever the reason, Bukas Palad touches the lives of people with their music. With 13 years of play throughout the country and eight albums to their credit (including their latest "Pasko Na!" Distributed by BMG Pilipinas, and until now, has been sold), the group has shown that there is Indeed, a public liturgical music. Bukas Palad is one of the main influences which choirs nationally inspired music.

Tagging their "Sound of Music" as eclectic liturgy, one of Bukas Palad's music arrangers, Gino Torres said that attempts to explore different musical genres and not just limited to one. That's why their music is an interesting combination of different rhythms of soul, gospel, pop, jazz and Broadway. conscious effort of the group to make music more attractive to young people started when kundiman type of liturgical music has caused people to switch religious beliefs, where the music was more upbeat and vibrant.

"The music kundiman which attracted more to our parents not doing much to keep people in the Catholic faith. Our idea then was to make the most popular liturgical music, to make it sound more 'now'," Torres said.

Slowly but surely, Bukas Palad has come a long way. From University of ACLC and ATSCA Choir goldmine BMG Pilipinas' when it comes to music of praise. Although not marketed as the likes of Gary Valenciano and Regine Velasquez, the label still Bukas Palad added to their roster of talent because of their constant later.

Explaining the growing popularity of the group and their songs 'and founding member Norman Agatep said: "Its ability songs' to reflect the sentiments of the faithful today in terms of sound, message and language."

Torres also correctly captured the feelings of the group for their apostolate. "As the art (of music) is immortalized in our song, we become instrumental to immortalization. To touch people's lives, we are able to live up to our vocation as a music ministry."

In several places

In several places.

Isaiah 65:17-65:25

In several places. A look at prophecy and today's titles. How many today know what the word prophecy means in reality? For a number of years, I along with many other ministers have taught prophecy more and more. From Websters 1828 Dictionary; Prophecy
PROPH'ECY No G [. to provide before and to tell. This should be written prophecy.]

1. A foretelling; estimates; a declaration of something to come. God knows with certainty how future events, but no be God or some person informed by him, may make a real prophecy. The prophecies recorded in Scripture, when met, provide the most convincing proof of the divine original of the Scriptures, as those who uttered the prophecies could not foreknown the events predicted without supernatural instruction. 2 Pt 1.

2. In Scripture, a book of prophecies, history, as the prophecy of Ahijah. 2 Chr 9.

3. The preaching, the public interpretation of Scripture, exhortation or instruction. Prov 31.
Asia earthquake toll still rising
Rescuers piled up bodies along coastlines devastated by the tsunami that cleared the seaside city in Asia and Africa, killing 23,700 people in 10 countries, the UN reported Monday.

Ukraine election defied earthquakes can be tamed? Deaths in Indonesia alone could exceed 200,000 official said. Biblical-scale devastation. Teaching is different from that of prophecy prophsi. 1Co 12:10 To another of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another type of sub languages to another the interpretation of tongues: [many do not believe in the gifts of the Spirit that sometimes makes it hard for those of use who do, to teach prophecy]

Rev 01:03 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written, because time is at hand. [Many people say that the revelations have been fulfilled, this is a misunderstanding and] very dangerous

I'm not here today to prophecy, but to shine light on Bible prophecy. Can read and learn together. Isa 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong, like a storm of hail storm and destroy, like a river of deep water overflowing, crashed to earth with his hand.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former not being recalled, and not come into mind. [MH Isa 65:17-25 -

In the grace and comfort believers in Christ and we are looking for this new heaven and new earth. The former confusions, sins and miseries of mankind, no longer remembered or renewed. The approaching happy state of the church is described in a variety of images. He is thought to die in his youth, and for his sins, who lives only for the age of one hundred years. This event alone can determine what is meant, but it is clear that Christianity, if universal, so do without the violence and evil, as greatly to lengthen life. In those happy days, all God's people enjoy the fruits of their labor. Neither the children then the effort of their parents, or suffer the same problems. The provisions of sinners is completely wrong moritified, everyone must live in harmony. Thus the Church on earth will be full of happiness, like heaven. This prophecy assures the servants of Christ, the approaches of time, which must be blessed with the peaceful enjoyment of all that is necessary for their happiness. As workers together with God, we must follow its rules, and obey his commands. [Ref supplementary Isa 65:17-19 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former not being recalled, and not to mind.

But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a joy, and her people a joy.

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. Jos 14:09 And Moses swore on that day, saying: "Surely Wherefore your feet have walked the earth will be your inheritance and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God. Remember that God created good and not bad. The man corrupted the earth and must be purified. If you noticed in Genesis that God created everything He called good, except when he came to man, because he knew that man would become corrupt and disobedient.

Eze 39:14 And they cut off the men working continuously, passing through the earth to bury with the passengers those that remain on earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

Pro 8:23 I was set and always up5258, 4480, beginning 5769, 4480, 7218 or ever4480, 6924 was the earth776.

[Strongs # s]

Matthew 24:6-8 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye not troubled: for all these things must happen, but in the end is not yet. "But in the end is not yet." The end of what? Many take this as signifying the end of the world. Not so, the world will never be destroyed, but renewed. Isa 24:6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth and its inhabitants are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Isa 14:07 All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they break into singing away.

Isa 24:1 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty, and makes waste it, and turns his head down, and scatters the inhabitants thereof.

Isa 00:19 The earth is all broken, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth has shifted too.

Isa 00:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage, and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and fell, and not rise again.

There are countless scriptures that say that the earth will last for eternity, but will be cleaned to renew the fire back to its original state. Said that what God created was good and no where in Scripture I never ever found that God has destroyed what was good. [Ref.Gen.1 :1-10]

These following verses are prophecy.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Luke 21:20-28 And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

So those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let them which are in the midst of it depart out, and do not let those who are in the countries enter thereinto.

On those days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

But woe to those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days! because there must be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the sword, and be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

And there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars, and on earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

The hearts of men not to fear, and care for those things on earth: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

And then they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draweth near.] Prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Petulance and hunger in Africa, floods and earthquakes in Japan, Indonesia and even the United States. Wars and roomers of Wars, from Iraq and Afghanistan to Africa and Russian satellites. The more people on earth have to see before they realize that the end is approached every day? The more people on earth have to see before they turn to the only one that guarantees the security?

The more people on earth have to see before they realize that there is another side of Jesus? Jesus will return, but not as a child, not as a lamb but as a Warier as retribution for sin and corruption rampant. A corner of destroying bring justice and righteousness on earth. How much more do the ministers of God have to see before starting to teach even prophecy, especially those who believe that revelation is met? How much more? Eze 27:34 When you're broken by the sea in deep water and all your goods your company in the midst of thee shall fall.

Jer 25:30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to them roar from the Lord, and to make his voice from his holy habitation; and powerful roar home, he must give a message like those that cross the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. And there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars, and on earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

The hearts of men not to fear, and care for those things on earth: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

"You Therefore prophesy against them all."

"The sea and waves roaring," "This is the beginning of sorrows." "The hearts of men not to fear them." "When you're broken by the sea." Keywords God

The key words from God doom and gloom? No. Truth. The roar from the Lord, and his words must be met. Its time we all shouted the warning, Christ does not foam much longer. ars

A poor man with a rich Dreams Mans.

A poor man with dreams Rich Mans

Matthew 19:17 to 19:23

A poor man with a rich Mans Dreams Have you ever heard the phrase, a poor man with a rich mans dreams? Many people in this life are completely exhausted from the race to wealth and prosperity. Looking for today and not tomorrow. The poor man has only now struggling to make ends meet, put food on the table for his family and hoping that the phone gets the next call, not by his boss, telling him that he no longer has a job. I saw a lot this past week, loose everything they had, home, furniture, everything. The only thing these people have the stuff is now on his shoulders. There are about 195 verses in the scriptures concerning the poor. The Bible says that God created the rich and poor. But there is no difference between them when it comes to judgments. A poor man dreams of a better day, without debts, without fear, without conflict. Dreaming sweet dreams of a day when he can rest from his job and dreams of family, children and wife. The rich man has disturbed sleep, worried about finances and the national debt, about rising oil prices and interest rates. His days are filled with concern for the thoughts of others trying to take what he has. In the story of Matthew 19:17-23 we are shown a good example of not respecting the great commandment in the law. That to me is the greatest commandment of all.

Mat 22:36-38 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind.
This is the first and greatest commandment. Now you look at the failure to comply with this commandment. Matthew 19:17-23 And he said unto him, Why call me good? there is none good but one, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Jesus said, What? Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

The young man saith unto him, I watched all these things from my youth: what I miss?

Jesus said: "If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sad because he had great possessions.

Then Jesus told his disciples, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man is hard to enter the kingdom of heaven. Pro 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and understanding the man who getteth Ps 127:2 and 'useless for you to get up early, sitting up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so he gives his beloved sleep. No need for a poor man who puts his trust in God to worry about. The poor man is confident in the Lord to give him his daily needs.

Psa 04:08 I am for me laying down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only make me dwell secure.

The poor man has no concern over someone stealing his house, his possessions are few and his wealth is in his dreams and his heart, where no man can take.
1SA 02:08 He raises the poor from the dust, and lifteth the beggar from the dunghill, to put them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord, and he set the world on them.

The poor Mans dreams are set on Gods promise, "The meek shall inherit the earth." When you lie down, you have no fear: yes, you lie down and sleep is your dessert.
Pro 3:19-27 the Lord, he founded the wisdom of the earth, by understanding he established the heavens.

With his knowledge the depths are broken, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son, do not let them from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion must be so, your life to the soul, and grace for your neck. Then you will walk in thy way safely, and your feet do not stumble. When you lie down, you have no fear: yes, you lie down and sleep is your dessert. Do not be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when veins. For the Lord is your confidence and keep your foot is taken. Withhold not good from them which is due when the strength of your hand to do it. The cry of the poor. Job 30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? my soul was not sorry for the poor?

Your stature in this life has no effect on God and his love for you.

Psa 40:17 But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks about me: thou art my help and my deliverer; do not remain, O my God

"Yet the Lord thinks about me:" This is not a real comfort to the poor, a dream of the Lord God Almighty, sitting on a throne, creator of all, master of the universe, commander of the largest army, and yet Of all the thoughts, and all the majesty of the gods, he still has time to think upon the poor and his dream. Wonderful is not it? We have become a people like the rich young ruler, who have large estates and yet another that troubled sleep, we are a people who despise the poor, because we remind ourselves earlier in life, or do we despise the poor because they are not as us? We forgot that our things belong to the Lord in every case, these things have only loaned to us to help others, the Bible says that we work to give to others. A man dreams of poor, Pearly Gates and streets of gold, dreams of rivers of living water and notebooks of angels singing, dreaming of a tree of life and blue skies, dreams of eternal sun and walking on clouds of white. He dreams of an eternal city where he will never grow old, where his work is through, not the disease, no tears and no final goodbyes to those he loves. This is the meaning of a poor man, Rich Mans Dreams. ars

Give him a stone

Give him a stone. by Rev ARSmith

Luke 11:10 to 11:13

Give him a stone. I grew up in rural Appalachia, some said that it would be noon before the sun would hit the ground. Raised by hard working parents, never tiring of working from dawn to dusk, to provide for their children. One year, my parents moved from the house, I was born in, in another house, so I and my brothers and sister, is closer to the school we attended. We had hard times there, not quite fitting in with the rest of the students were poor? Not really, my father got up before the sun was high, go to work and my mother would always have breakfast on the table before you get out bed.Our clothes were always clean and pressed. Being the youngest, I was the recipient of many hand-me down from my brothers. I did not mind, some of their clothes were pretty cool. Dad always bought us new clothes before starting school and asked that we take care of them. My older brother Richard, moved to the west, another brother, Ronnie, died, Willie and Carl, went to war, and my sister got married, I felt so alone in a house that was always full of love and protection. I was learning what life was really all. But all in all, I remembered that what ever we need as children, growing up, was always there, Love, Food, water, clothing and shelter. Life was Brown Beans and Cornbread. A simple life, but that was full of love, one for another.I been taught of Jesus, and how every need we would be filled by Him, and as a new family would take a part of my life, the Church. I was taught, "Ask and you shall receive", I thought this was great, I thought there would be no Christian would ever do without until we were all in the family church. Reads a bit 'of what I was taught. Luke 11:10-13; To those who asks receives, and he will be found looking for, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

If a child asks for bread to some of you that is a father, give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? For me, this man Jesus was what I needed in life and because we were in his fathers all our needs were met. Later in life I moved away from family, trying to do things my way, you know a young man without worries, problems or fear. But one thing I always kept in the back of my mind the words of Jesus after a number of years, I thought that like the prodigal son, "I'm better off without my father or I have to go back and appologise for everything I have done? "Luke 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I am dying of hunger!
Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father and say to him, Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and that's how I felt without God So I went back and forgave. So I started to minister to all who listen. And the more I started watching Family Church, I discovered something very interesting. The family I had left was found. Things had changed, some for the better, but some for the worse. I discovered that being fed with a stone was common among church family, I thought it would be the first to help. I found it easier to get a piece of bread from non-believers from our families in Christ. I found these words came to mind whenever I asked for help for the poor churches and Christians;

If a child asks for bread to some of you that is a father, give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

I discovered, to my disappointment that request, bread, fish or an egg, it was harder than I thought. I found many a church more interested in building up, instead of building. I found that there was a great famine in that land, that many of the Family of God had wasted their substance with riotous living. inhearentance shaped part of their buildings and sidewalks and fountains that served to anyone who feed no one gave anyone in the Family of God I discovered that there were those who benefited from the donation of some churches, I discovered that this world had obtained a suspension foot in the lives of many people. I discovered that there were giving out too many snakes, scorpions and rocks. I looked and found a mighty famine in the land of Bibles, thats right, I said Bibles. When many were built, many suffered for the word of God they were in a difficult time just get a Bible, a preacher, a teacher, an evangelist, and I discovered that this was prophecy in the Bible, which comes alive at vibrant colors. Amos 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from north even to the east, running to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and not find it. Why, I wondered, why are these brothers in the family so poor for the basics of Christianity? And then a Scripture came to mind from the Lord, Pro 21:06 The always treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of those who seek death. What does it mean, what could I say? As I watched the news and read the articles, I noticed that this man was saying, give me $ 1,000,000 if, God said take my life. Donation for me, we need a sidewalk for a fountain, well put your name in wood, giving me and I'll build a stone monument with your name on it that will last forever. Give me and I use the money to send ministers who are in trouble with the law of other countries to preach. "Donate, donate, donate. But no one was saying," Give me, so I can buy a bible for a brother without one, donate to me so I can send flyers and brochures Bible for those who do not know Jesus, give to me so I can send evangelist to preach the word of God. "

"Give a Stone, we need to build on, give him a snake, we need to spread out, give him a scorpion, no one will know the difference." Many were and are still preaching in Matthew 25:13, Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man comes. But deceiving people to donate to, sidewalks, fountains, palaces, libraries and monuments, only to have their name carved in history. These are the blind leading the blind, and there came a moment that both fall into the ditch. These are just some thoughts I wanted to share with you. Luke 15:32 And 'meeting was that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead and is alive again, was lost and is found. All we can to stop and remember what Jesus had to say? To those who asks receives, and he has found the search, to him who knocks it will be open.

If a child asks for bread to some of you that is a father, give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? Can we just stop and quit building and begin to accumulate. Do not be one of those who say "give him a stone?" Ars

Politics and Christianity

Revelation 8:01 p.m. to 8:10 p.m.

Politics and Christianity there have been many an article about this past election. Some, praising Christians and some condemning them. As for me being a minister, I am disappointed in both sides. Politics have no place in the Church. Jesus would not vote for neither. 2Ti 2:04 No man entangleth warreth himself with the affairs of this life, which may please those who have chosen him to be a soldier. Our war is with the spirit and not flesh. God commands power. Vote, but not involved in all the rhetoric, the damage was done, its time to fix it.

Our mission as Christians too, 1. Worshiping God 2. Preaching the Gospel. 3.Be instant in season and out of season

4. Try to Lost if the Church has done just as our Lord commanded, would not have this hatred towards Christians. Politicians talk of peace in the Middle East, but the Christian community should know better. Look Gods prophecy for the Middle East. Rev 20:1-10

Rev 20:1-10 And I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

It threw him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, which should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled: after which he must be loosed a little season.

Then I saw thrones and they sat upon them, and the assessment was given to them, and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and the word of God, and that had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on the forehead, or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

And go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of which is like the sand of the sea.

They went up on the surface of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. My question, now you've heard these songs by the revelations. Do you really believe that John in the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Church is true? How many said yes? Raise your hands. So how can we believe that any politician says there will be peace in the Middle East?

John said in these but a few steps "And I saw," said John had made a presentation of future war and destruction in the Middle East. 1. "And I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."

2. "Then I saw thrones and they sat upon them, and the trial was given them." 3. "I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus." I had a brother, ' Another day, they tell me that he does not read the prophecy, because he can not help it. This is a common mistake that many Christians do. The prophecy is as important as the rest of Scripture. Attention after being warned by Christ for the imminent destruction enemies of Israel, and yet many would ignore the facts of the Bible. Many churches will not even recognize that the Book of Revelations is for our time. Many clame that the Book of Revelations has been fulfilled. Paul also warned not to be misled by any means. 2Th 2.1 to 4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him

Not to be soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor words, nor by letter as from us, as the day of Christ is at hand.
No one deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Adversary who exalts above all that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. "We, as Christians, from time to time make mistakes and the time Paul many states and even Our Lord Jesus said, none of us is perfect only God himself is perfect. We learn from our mistakes and go out into the world and proclaim the year of the Lord. Time is short and we all should be about our Fathers business. Luke 14:23 And the Lord said to the servant: Exit to the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Our Lord commands us, to search for the Lost Gods Kingdom, and brothers and sisters who is a full-time job.
2Co 7:08 For even if I made you sorry with a letter, I do not regret, even though I did repent: for I see that the same epistle made you sorry, but if for one season. Let us now all be about our Fathers business and begin to repair the damage that was done, learning from mistakes, repent, bear the burden and move forward. Be patient also James 5:08; confirm your hearts: for the Lord's coming draweth near.

Raise your eyes of children, our repentance is nigh.Here retracts an article that was published in a local newspaper, I thought it reflected a tendency among Christians; Politics should not be preached in church

In response to condolences to the Democrats in November 5, 2004, my condolences go now to your church, or should I say lack of churches.

I lived a pretty long as men go. I never felt so perverted gospel from pulpits. Many took the grace of God and turned it into a meeting of the Republican campaign.

When all the other gospel is preached from the pulpit, it becomes a cult. When someone is preached except Jesus Christ, he becomes the anti-Christ. (The word anti in this case it means that - instead of.) Read I John 2:18. "To all those prophets of Baal will be a terrible day when they stand before the great white throne for trial."

There is nothing wrong with voting for a candidate of your choice. More than a million American soldiers have died in combat so you could have this privilege.

Jesus Christ died for all. I Timothy 4:10 - suggest that God favors the rich over the poor or the whites for blacks or any other discriminatory idea is pure blasphemy.

If you hear politics preached from the pulpit, I strongly recommend to change preachers or churches because it is a church of the living God. Read II Corinthians 11:13-15.
