Chapter One
A Blessing From Christ In the name of Jesus, I send this blessing and my love for him. Accept this blessing in the name of Jesus. For all blessing come through Jesus. Through your faith he gives spiritual currency. And through your faith it will grow and grow in Jesus name. Accept not and judge, get only what you can produce. Glory to Jesus for a King is born. Aman
All Knowing and Powerful
God said I am your God and will take care of you; I made you and will take care of you (Isaiah 46: 4-10). God predicted the outcome of things to come long ago he foretold what would happen in the world. God speak and it will be done, God do not lie he is the truth always. Who other than God can say what will happen in the future, and it is as he said, only God and the Son. God is all knowing and powerful, and he wants you to understand the Word of God. That's why he had the Bible written.
Read the good book and know your God, do not settle for man's word. Know the true Word of God. I believe and know in my heart that this world is our test before judgment. What you do and say in this world will decide your fate by our Lord Jesus Christ. The question is will you go to the light, or will you end-up in the dark. You are making your own choice by what you do and say, so choose very carefully. It means eternal life or the dark of the fire pit forever with Satan.
I pray we all make it to the light were we will live forever. God will save all people who believe in him and his son Jesus. He knows your heart so do not think you can fool God, he is forgiven but he is no fool. You will end-up being the fool, if you think you can fool God. He is an all knowing powerful God. Talk is cheap he knows your truth; God will have the last word. Don't try to use the Lord for your evil deeds, because you will pay today or tomorrow.
The Lord's book "The Bible" is a book of truth and revelation. We are all very special to God he loves us, that's why he created us in his image and likeness. So love him and his son Jesus as they love you. Show the Lord your love welcome him into your life, pray and talk to him. Make Jesus your main friend and brother. You will not be sorry, because anything is possible through your Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember you are loved by God, so if you find no love in mankind go to God. There is always love with our Lord. Remember Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins and die on the cross for you to have eternal life with him.
All You Need
Why do people sin? People no longer have any excuse for their sin, they sin just because. If you sinners want out call on Jesus he will send his helper, his Father's Spirit that comes from God (John 15: 26). Jesus died on the cross so your sins could be forgiven by God's Holy Spirit. God only ask that you believe in his son Jesus Christ. Open your heart and let the light of Jesus shine upon you.
Let Jesus manage your suffering and your demons. The Lord can make you forget your suffering and provide for your needs. And if your faith in him is great, he will grant your desires, they will be gifts from God. Your Lord will strengthen you and make you strong. You will feel his Holy Spirit, and he will make your enemy's run. And all you need is faith in your Lord Jesus Christ. Put your trust in Jesus and you will know the truth.
The Father will give you whatever you ask of him, in the name of Jesus (John 16:23). The Father loves you, because you love Jesus and you believed that Jesus came from God. Yes all you need is to believe and trust in God's son Jesus.
Believers
Believers are children of light. Study the prophecy signs. Believers should watch.
Jesus wants us to be watching. Believers should be alert and self-controlled.
Believers should put on faith, love and hope. Believers should know he is our hope, he is coming.
The second coming is our hope in Jesus name.
Just
God is just; he will pay back trouble to those who trouble you. He will give relief to you who are trouble.
He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is a God who judges sin, and his judgments are just. Christ return ensures the final judgment.
Read: 2 Thessalonians 1: 5-10.
Blessing From god
Your blessing from God could be great; he would like to make you comfortable. God gives us all things to enjoy. There are people not of God who get mad about your blessings from God. They will try to put a guilt trip on you, but they fail to realize that you are a person that's been blessed by our Lord. They do not realize that when they put God's people down, God will put them down. So I say to you change your ways and step into the light and receive God's blessings.
When you are blessed by our Lord do not let things go to your head. Remember to forgive those who are against you for the Lord will bless you more; you never can have too many blessings. Do not let your possessions change you. Do not let your riches make you arrogant. Take care that your wealth do not make you feel superior to people who do not have it. Do not let your money make you feel like you have power or control over others, we are all God's people, until you yourself refuse to be a person of God.
Power and control belongs to God, our Lord God is in control of everything. Power tends to corrupt people; they begin to let Satan take over their lives. They become arrogant and have no regard for the rights and needs of others. If you are rich stay in the light with Jesus, do good with your wealth. Jesus teaches that you should be rich in good works. You should share with the poor or others in need of your help.
Your wealth was given to you by God, so others can be blessed by your good deeds. Remember your time here on earth is a test before our Lord Jesus Christ, who keeps a book of names for end time. God said love your neighbor as you love yourself; help them in need and God will bless you even more. You will never be poor because you are storing up a good foundation in God's Kingdom by helping others and respecting others with less than yourself.
We as God's people need to stand against arrogance, deception, stupidity, and greed. Stay in the light of our Lord Jesus Christ, and pursue righteousness, faith, patience and love in the name of Jesus. The Lord's light is safe and peaceful; remember God is in control of everything.
Born again
When your heart is with God, the Lord your God will always forgive you. Jesus wants you to put your faith in him, and believe in him, trust in him. You must show your faith by trusting and believing in him. Pray to him, talk to him, he do hear you.
John 3:1-2 Jesus said, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the spirit. You must be born again, spiritually of the spirit. You must be lifted up in the spirit, so that if you believe in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit you will have eternal life. God loves us so much he gave his only son. So who ever believes in his son, may have eternal life.
Jesus is your savior. Jesus is the light of all people. The light has come into the world to save you. But people love the darkness rather than the light. People love there evil deeds. For those people the fire is hot very hot. Beware people will protect a devil and throw stones at an angel.
Children of god
We are all God's children, but some of us chose to be the child of Satan. They let Satan take over their bodies. Satan knows when he meets a child of God, read Luke 8:26-29. When this demon that was inside a man, saw Jesus he beg Jesus not to punish him. Jesus asks the demon what was his name. This lets us know that all demons have names.
This is why today you can meet people who are evil, which house evil spirits within. Have you ever met people who never have anything but ugly words to say? When demon spirits know you are a child of God, they hate you and want nothing to do with you, or they only want to hurt you for no reason other than a good laugh.
That's why you must beware, and know who is around you. You must ask the Lord to shield and protect you from demons. Some people, who feel you are of God, will be afraid of you, read Luke 8:34-38. They are afraid of you because they are afraid of God, and do not want to know God. Some portend to know God, but they are afraid to know him and run from the light.
Some people honor God with their words, but not with their heart. They teach words and rules of man; they have clever ways of rejecting Gods words, so they can use their words and rules. Beware there teaching cancels out the Word of God. This will send you to the dark. Stay away from the dark go to the light. Jesus light always shines for you. Read Mark 7:20-23 all evil things that come from inside you make you unclean in our Lords eyes.
Christians are tested
We suffer many kinds of trials. Their purpose is to prove that our faith is genuine. Your faith is precious, and it must be tested so that it may endure. You must love him, all though you have not seen him. You must believe in him all though you do not see him. You will receive salvation of your soul, which is the purpose of your faith in him. Read 1 Peter 1:7, Romans 8: 28-29. God sees into our hearts. He knows what the thought of our spirit is. The spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will. Those whom God has already chosen he set apart to become like his son. He will share his glory with them. If God is for us, who can be against us!
God needs to know if trouble, hardship, persecution, hunger, poverty, or death can separate us from Christ. Temptation is meant to make us good. When Jesus was being tempted by Satan at no time did Jesus use powers to gratify himself. Even when he was arrested, he did not call on angels to rescue him. Even on the cross he prayed for us. Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do. Give yourself unto your Lord, Jesus Christ. For he gave himself for you. Praise his name, as he will praise you unto the Father. For he will take you into his Kingdom. For God is the power the glory forever and ever. In his name I pray.
Cleaning of Babylon
Before the earth can be reclaimed by Jesus it must be cleansed. Read (Revelation 18, 19, 20). God had condemned the prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her immorality. God has punished her because she killed his servants.
The prostitute that is spoken of here is the city Babylon. The city was full of prostitutes and evil men and women. The city was well known with the merchants who were rich and powerful. Merchants came from all nations, to Babylon to do their evil.
Here in the city of Babylon, the blood of the prophets and God's people was found dead. This great city has lost her wealth in one hour by the hand of God. For God has condemned this awful city Babylon, because she even sold slaves human lives.
This was a city of immorality and lust. Be glad for her destruction for God has cleaned house. This was God's second cleaning of the earth, since Noah's Ark. God brought destruction on Babylon because it was corrupting the whole earth.
There will be another big cleaning when Jesus returns to earth. Jesus will defeat the beast (Antichrist) and the false prophets, both will be thrown alive into the lake of fire and sulfur. Jesus will also defeat the armies of the nations that want to destroy his people.
All the armies will be destroyed, by the sword of his mouth. This means Jesus has only to speak the words and it shall be. After he defeats the armies, then comes the cleaning. Jesus will have the birds and other animals eat the dead flesh of the army men and their horses, until all is clean.
This is the third cleaning of the earth and the last. For now Jesus will reclaim the earth, and God will bring a new heaven and a new earth.
David and goliath
All too often we hesitate to do what we know is right, out of concern for what others might think or say. This is human nature, but if you know it is right to do a certain thing don't be afraid God is always with his people trust and believe in your God almighty. Do not worry what others think or say, this is only Satan trying to pull you from your God. Read 1Samuel, 2Samuel, and 1Chronicles. This will give you great insight on your almighty God.
It reads about four men Samuel, David, Saul, and Goliath. I wanted to call this the good, the bad, the ugly. Samuel and David would be the good, Saul would be the ugly, and Goliath would be the bad. Just having a little fun with it. The reading is very adventuress everyone loves the story about David and Goliath so will you. This reading teaches us not to judge people by their outside physical stature and appearance, but look at what's in a person's heart.
Believe it or not that is how God picked David to be King. Our Father God looks at what is in your heart, not at your birth suit. This reading will teach you a lot about being hostile and jealous. Jealousy is not a good human trait. It's too bad we have to live among this foolishly morally wrong human trait; it's almost like being a bully. God was pleased with David and blessed him well; this made Saul jealous and fearful. Saul was so jealous of David he order his death. Not to go into the story.
I just wanted to show how ugly and dangerous jealousy can be. It can only come from the darkness of the evil one. First remove yourself far from this evil, and pray to the Lord your God to remove this evil demon from your life and let the Lord's light shine on you. Through God David was a great king, but he also was a human being with weakness. David was a sinner before God.
David openly sought God's forgiveness for his sin, and God forgave him. The difference between Saul and David was Saul made excuses to God and pretended all was right between him and God. You must ask the Lord for his forgiveness and be honest with God and others about your sin. Yes David was a great King, but there will be another king even greater without sin. Can you guest who he is; yes Jesus Christ is the only living descendant of David. And Jesus will be the next great King to rule God's Kingdom.
Descendants of Noah's Sons
Two years after the flood, God told Noah's sons to take their family's and go fill the world with their off springs. They walked around for a while, and then they all came together in a city called Babylonia. All the people spoke one language. The people said to each other let us settle here in this land, and let us make bricks and build us a city. Then we can make a name for ourselves, and let us not scatter over the earth.
God came down from heaven to see what they have built. The people thought they no longer needed God. So God mix-up there language so they could not understand each other. And then God scattered them all over the earth with different language and race. This is how different nation and language came about. Do not ever think you do not need the Lord, you will soon find out different.
After the flood all the nations of the earth were descended from the sons of Noah. Noah sons are the ancestors of all people on earth. God just made us different so you will always need him. This means we are all one in the same; we are all connected to each other. That's why God wants you to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Read Genesis 10, 11, and 12.
Our Lord God would like it if we would learn to love all people as one people, because we are all the same, we are all kin like it or not. Our Lord God would love it if we would learn to love each other without the put downs, name calling, fighting, and bulling each other we all have the same God. There is only one God and he said we are kin; he made us in his image. If you love God you would love all people.
Do you Know him
Do you know him? Have you read the gospel of Jesus Christ? A good Christian to our Lord, do not judge others. Who are you to judge God's people? Our Lord Jesus will judge both the living and the dead. Live spiritually with Jesus in your heart and do not live for things on this earth.
But set your mind on things that are above in God's house. God wants you to obey his commandment, love thy neighbor as you love thy self. This means to love every one of all races. You much know and believe that Jesus died and rose again, because your God almighty will also raise you.
God ask that you be patient and wait on his son. If you are righteous in your life, then you know you are born of him, and shall share eternal life with him. Until then we are to live in love of every one. Our Lord will return to earth at the end time. I pray that you have not defied your Lord.
If you deny your Lord he will deny you. Jesus victory is assured by the Father. Jesus has undisputed authority over all things. So stay in the Light.
