From The Pastor’s Desk

Do you know your enemy the Devil? I am convinced the world has no clue, but much of the church world doesn’t know either? This is because people don’t read the Bible. The scriptures tell us we are not ignorant of Satan’s devises, but how can you know what his devises are, if you don’t pray and read the word of God.

John 10:10 says “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: (Then Jesus said) l am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.” Being this a new year, and it is 2020, with 20 meaning redemption, this would be a good year to redeem yourself.

Seeing that the signs of the coming of the Lord are everywhere. A good place to start, is to repent of your lack of commitment and laziness and love for the Lord. Jesus said if you love me you’ll keep my commandments, and they won’t be grievous. (Won’t be a burden to you) Behind every excuse is a lack of desire.

Oh but the good news is you can redeem yourself, by repenting and drawing near to God. It’s not to late get your house in order, and become a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus. You have a choice, to set on the side lines, and be a fan, or a follower. Jesus said, he that cometh after me, let him deny himself and take up the cross and follow me. I believe you can pray through, if you stay long enough. It’s time to love one another as Christ loved his church. Jesus said a new commandment that I write unto you that ye love one another. It’s not to late to start, doing what you know you ought to be doing. , Maranatha!

It’s almost over and we are going to our eternal home!!! Consider the four latest headlines. “Baptist, Presbyterian Pastors claim Christians can support killing babies in abortion. Joe Biden claims there are at least 3 genders during Iowa’s campaign stop. Earthquakes up three times above normal, in the ring of fire.”

The good Holy Ghost spoke this into my spirit found in Romans 1:22-23 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.” Anybody who has not become desensitized by “Helli”wood, (who’ve done everything possible, to destroy traditional valves that have held America together for over 200 years), can now see from the history of the Bible, that the wrath of God will soon, and suddenly fall,like Satan when he was cast out heaven.
There has never been a time when the church, should daily be keeping there lamps trimmed and burning, to give light, to the gross darkness,we are experiencing.

Oh how sweet to trust in Jesus and his word that is for ever settled. For those who are ready, the head of the Church the Lord Jesus Christ, is about to step out on the cloud for his beloved bride who “…not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing…” will meet him in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

As my good friend J.D. Collins said “It’s a time to live holy” which we should want to do, so that we please him and not ourselves. Remember (we are not our own 1Cor.1:19), we have been espoused to one husband, who’s gone away to prepare us a mansion, so we can live with him eternally. So don’t let this world pull you into it’s mold, instead be transformed into the image of God’s dear Son. It will be worth it all when at last we see Jesus, so don’t faint, hold on, cause heaven is sounding sweeter all the time. Maranatha

Our church’s motto is Hope for the Hurting.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4,
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we are comforted of God.”

The Hope we have today is in Jesus Christ. There are so many today who are hurting. We as a body of believers are called to extend a hand to help, encourage, pray and teach them. People need to know they are loved. There is a saying, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care”.

Our world is so full of hate and evil. There is deliverance. Jesus is the only
answer. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”,
Romans 3:23-24.

God bless you and may the Lord awaken everyone to what it is, to the blessed hope of our Lord’s coming for His bride that hath made herself ready.

“Has anybody told you they loved you today?” Jesus does and we do too.

Those of us who understand, that freedom doesn’t come without a price, I want to give thanks for all those who were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice with their life, so those of us that are living can worship in freedom. Patrick Henry said “Give me freedom or give me death” exemplifies the kind of men and women, many of them were, who won the freedoms we have today. What so many don’t understand is these freedoms, they were willing to die for, were not won, for us to do as we please, but to do as we should. 

For those who don’t know, let me tell you, we all have an enemy; Satan, who comes, but to kill, steal and destroy. Oh but the good news is Jesus has come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, John 10:10 For those who want to burn our flag, and are, yes “Hell bent” on destroying American history, who want to depict Christ in a bottle of urine, yes are able to do as they please now, because of those willing to die than to live in bondage. Thank God for Jesus’ willingness to lay his life down for mine, so that I could be free from sin and death. Now that’s reason enough to serve him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and to love my neighbor as myself. God bless all those who served. For your soul’s sake, don’t take your freedoms for granted.
