Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. The purposes and ambitions of man are contrary to the will of God, as it does nothing to uplift the Glory, which is Gods. Is there a safe haven on this planet, is there somewhere we can go that does not offer death and destruction for our patience and ability? No. The middle east is about to explode into civil war, Africa, plauges and starvation, factions fighting among themselves to take controll of land that only the creatures of the desert can live in, America, divided by politics and religion, earthquakes, huracanes and tornados, Europe in turmoil, Aisa overpopulated and angry at all mankind. There's no where to go, no where to hide, no peace of mind anywhere. In the search for peace, man has actually caused unrest and war. Mat 5:3-12 Blessed are the poor in spirit: Blessed are they that mourn: Blessed are the meek: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: Blessed are the merciful: Blessed are the pure in heart: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:.
1. The poor in spirit: These are those that have a little faith but remain faithful to the Word. These are not the strong, but those that need help each and every day.
2. Blessed are they that mourn: These are those Children of God that suffer loss for the sake of Jesus. Do Christians suffer? Yes. We are, by all means, still human and in the flesh. Still in the world of death and sickness, trial and tribulation. The un-believers also mourn and weep and the only difference between them and us, is that we have a saviour to turn to, being comforted by the Holy Ghost. 1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
3. Blessed are the meek: CHILDLIKE, Resembling a child or that which belongs to children; becoming a child; meek; submissive; dutiful; as childlike obedience. God has a special reguard for those that come to Him as a Child. Meekness is one of the “fruits of the Spirit” (Gal_5:23).
4.Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness. These are people that take their relationship with the Almighty, seriously and to its fullest opportunity, to learn and become more useful to the Master.
5. Blessed are the merciful. Showing mercy and recieveing mercy. Forgiving and being forgave. Loving and being Loved.
6. Blessed are the pure in heart. Pure motives and actions. Giving of oneself to the proposition that all things belong to the Father and as we have received from Him we also give to others.
7. Blessed are the peacemakers. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. “not as the world.” Those that desire peace and seek it for themselves and others will be called the Children of God. But the peace that they seek is not of this world but of the next. Not everyone that seeks peace shall be called the children of God, for that would be contrary to the Scriptures, but only those that are believers in Christ and seek peace in His name.
8. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake. These are the people that are persecuted for the name of Christ. ”On dated 22nd of July while Revival meeting was going on in the place“Junagarh”the MLA of that areas along with more than hundred Hindu leaders, RSS & BJP members came to stop the meeting and they had pre-planned to beat all Christians and to murder the leader and organizer of that meeting. So they came with weapons and with big sticks. They entered in to meeting place forcedly with fiery mind and caught some of our believers and beated them very badly and stopped the meeting. They took our Bro. Goura and put him in a room and locked that room. After that again they started beating our brothers and sisters mercilessly. But praise the Lord at that time miraculously God sent His angel to protect His people.”From my friends, Siani & Suphala Harpal, New Life Power Gospel Fellowship, Kalahandi, Orissa, India.
Seeking peace is a noble cause, it sheds light to a world that is hungry for stability. But true peace is not attainable in this world as it is. Only when Jesus returns will true peace be established. Wars and rumors of wars, so shall it be untill the end of time.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
At least 648 people died when a railing collapsed Wednesday on a bridge packed with Shiite worshippers marching in a religious procession, sending crowds tumbling into the Tigris River.
Hellish scenes of death, damage, and chaos wracked the U.S. Gulf Coast on Wednesday as overwhelmed authorities tried to rescue the living and count the dead amid the destruction left by powerful Hurricane Katrina.
“they shall not escape.”
Mans judgment has already started, because of his lack of faith and understanding of Gods will for us. There is no safe place, no shelter, no refugue for man except within the arms of Jesus. Doomsday preachers are all about, they try to use any disaster to cry out their message of ,”The World is comming to an end.” But did God send them? This doesnt help anyone, we must use fear on some and compassion on others, yes, but it must be coupled with knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God and His word. We must read the signs of the times and relate the facts to those that are lost so that they can understand what God is doing. We must use the ability that God has given us, for each man has been given a measure of the Faith. We must minister with the ability that has been given unto us.
A man told me the other day, He will believe when he sees something, a sign, an event that would cause him to believe. This man was, and still is, seeking peace, not for this world but for his soul, his spirit. The signs are all around, all we hafe to do is open up the eyes of the blind.

2 Corinthians 6:17-6:17. Coming to Jesus. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I believe that we all can live forever if we believe in Gods word and apply it to our daily existence. We can no longer as Christians live our lives next to the life stile of the un-believers. Christ told us to " Come out from among the world and be a separate people." He was not saying that we had to separate ourselves from people in general, but separate ourselves from the unrighteous life that they live. The Apostle Paul once said, "at one time we ourselves were unruly. So we all at one time or another were all sinners and an un-believer, but through the drawing power of the Holy Spirit we accepted Jesus as our personal savior. So we must forget the things that we have done in the past and "Let us go on to perfection.” Not laying again the foundation of dead works." What must I do to be saved? The Bible says, Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Why then do people try to make salvation so hard to accept? There are a lot of self-called preachers in this world who have no clue what the Holy Scriptures mean. So they are the blind leading the blind. To believe in Jesus is easy. Why does the scriptures say only to believe in his name. Because Jesus died on the cross over two thousand years ago and rose again three days later and also ascended back to the Father in Heaven. So sense we cannot see Jesus we must believe with our heart in just His name. I don’t believe that is so hard to do. So then why do people have such a hard time believing in Jesus? Well I’ve experienced a lot of different types of people and believe me, its not that they don’t believe in the Son of God, it’s that they don’t want to let go of this life and the material things in it. People have been deceived in believing that if you allow Jesus to come into your life, then you lose everything, but what they don’t know is that being a Christian is easer than being an un-believer. We as Christians haven’t given up any thing; we on the other hand removed everything that was hurting us anyway. Jesus said, "Come out from among the world and be ye a separate people." We have only removed the willful sin from our life . We have entered into a life of love instead of hate, understanding, instead of rejection, and patience instead of indifference. I believe that indifference is the biggest demon that people have that we as ambassadors of Christ need to address. There are not enough preachers in this country today who preach on the alternative of Heaven. That very fact is one of the reasons that a lot of, not only sinners but some Christians fall away. The Apostle Paul states, "A man only remains saved, when he is put in remembrance of what has been preached." In the book of Jude the scriptures state, on some having compassion, making a difference and on others using fear, hating even the garment, spotted by the flesh, reaching down, pulling them out of the fire." We need to preach Jesus as Lord and Savior, but also God as the avenger and destroyer of all who refuse to believe on His only, begotten Son. Believe me, there is a vengeful God, and there is a hell and a lake of fire, which waits to receive all who reject Jesus. Its Gods promise, and it will come to pass. This reminds me of the passages in scripture, which recalls a rich man and a poor man, named Lazarus. The scriptures prove the existence of hell with this story to those who will believe with there heart and not with the mind. It states how the rich man wanted for nothing in this life and how Lazarus wanted only the crumbs from the rich mans table. They both died. "And the rich man lifted up his eyes and saw Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom, and cried, Father Abraham, send Lazarus and dip his finger in water to cool my tongue, for in these flames I am in torment. And Abraham said that he couldn’t because, between you and us, there is a great gulf fixed. The Bible has almost as much about hell as it does about Heaven. Don’t lie to yourself there is a place of torment, and it will be forever. To continue, the Bible states that we love God with all our heart, mind soul and strength. Lets look at this again a little slower and deeper. The first is HEART, the Greek word for heart is cardia, that’s where we get the word cardiac. The heart is the center of who we are. You can say that, you love your wife with all your heart, or you love your job or whatever. But do we really? The heart is one of the smallest organs in the body but with out it we cannot exist, with out the heart, the body dies. So to love God with all of our heart, we must, one, believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God must be allowed to control our Hearts to lead us to whom we need to be in His eyes. The second is with the Mind.... Our mind controls that we believe that we are, it controls our actions our hopes and our desires. Our mind can develop good or bad thoughts, and only we can control which of these it is going to be. If we can allow God to control our mind, which is sensual He can turn it into a most desirable part of whom we are. The third part is the Soul; the soul is the part of us, which is senses touch, taste, feel, sight and hearing. The Bible describes the soul of man as a worm, in revelations, where the worm dieth not. To control the senses we must be willing to convert ourselves to a different type of lifestyle. Taste not, touch not. Converting from who we were into who God wants us to be. It’s as simple as saying, no, to our body and saying yes to a righteous life free of sin. And the last is Strength, What is our strength? To me its what gets me up in the morning, when I don’t want to move, its what allows me to try things that others say, that I cant do. Its what tells me to go on when the entire world seems to be falling in around me. To love God with all my strength is, to me, a willingness to say yes to Gods wishes when I feel down or week in body. To me all of these things can be accomplished to their maximum at the first thing in the morning, when it’s still and quite. We must keep our Father on our hearts, mind, soul and within our strength constantly. When you do anything for the Lord do it with all you being with everything that you are. We at times each day must attend to our daily business, jobs, family and our other things, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But when it comes time for you to worship God give it all you have. What must I do to be saved? The Bible states, Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. What does it mean to be saved? To be saved is to be released from the condemnation and the annihilation that is coming to this world. The Bible states that we that believe on the name of the Lord are not condemned but those who believe not are already condemned. Salvation is the gift from God, and it is not to be abused, as an occasion to sin. Why do I say this, the Bible states that Jesus said, If and when you sin, have an advocate with the Father, who is just and rightly to forgive you of your sin. But this does not give the believer an open season on sin. Because the Bible states that, those that are saved are saved indeed, but those that endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. If we sin by mistake then we have an advocate with the Father and He will forgive, and so our salvation, remains in tact. But if we sin willfully, knowing the will of God concerning us then we become unruly and disobedient. At this time two things can accrue, 1. God may not recognize us as a son any longer or 2. God may forgive you of that sin, but you would pay a deer price for you disobedience. Some may say that God will always forgive sin. But the Bible states that, Gods spirit will not always strive with man. Put it this way, say that you were committing adultery and the rapture took place at the same time, do you really think that you would go with the rest of the saints or would you be left behind? Its something to think about, and missing Heaven is not worth anything that this world can offer. Be not deceived, God will not be maulked. Satan is out there trying to steel, kill, and destroy any one who believes in Jesus. He knows that no man goes to the Father except through the Son. So Believing in God is not enough, you have to believe in the Son. So then, what is salvation, eternal life thru Christ Jesus our Lord? Why then can I say this? The Bible says, that, you believe in God you do well, but the devils also believe and they tremble. The demons believe in God and Satan also but that is not enough. Christ called Satan, the prince of this world. Which is true, after the fall of Adam, the custody of this world fell into satins hands and he became the prince of the earth. Before we go on you need to understand whom Satan is. Satan, bellesubub, Lucifer, Devil, Prince, Light-giver, roaring lion, Accuser, lier, thief, murder, destroyer, and fallen angel. This is the man who wants to rule the world, heaven and you. Why would anyone want to follow any one with this type of heritage? You may say, well I don’t follow the devil. But in reality, you do. The Bible says, choose you this day whom you shall serve. You only have two chouses Christ, to the Glory of the Father or Satan. Jesus bought and paid for your salvation on the Cross of Calvary. its the Gift of God. But you haft to accept, the sacrifice of Jesus and believe that He is the Son of God. Satan was the most beautiful angel that God had created. The word Light giver means, teacher. Satan looked upon himself and beheld his own beauty and decided for himself that he should be God. He devised a plan to over throw God and take Heaven for himself. He deceived one third of the angels in heaven to follow him. Which they did. But what he forgot, was that God is all knowing and God knew what he was going to do before he did. God sent Gabriel and the other angels in heaven after Satan and cast him and his followers out of heaven. These are already condemned to be cast into the lake of fire. They have been tried, convicted and sentenced, their fait is sealed, is yours? Not if you repent of your sins and be converted. All you have to do is believe in Jesus. Some say, if Satan is already condemned then why is he still trying to destroy me. That answer is simple, He knows that in the end, no matter what he does he’s going to loose and be cast into the lake of fire to burn for eternity, so he wants to take as many people with him as he can. Think of it this way, every time someone is deceived by Satan and dies in their sins, he laughs at them, knowing that you’ve believed a lie. Satan doesn’t even care if you don’t believe in God or Him; all he cares about is that you believe a lie. You can believe any thing you want to, you can practice any form of religion you want, but the Bible says that in the end time they shall have a form of religion, but denigh the power there in. Without Jesus Christ you cannot and will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Weather Jew or Gentile without Jesus you are lost. I don’t argue the Bible I only state the facts. Let God be true and ever man a liar. False religion, teachings, preachings, false doctrine, the entire world is full of different religions, many will be deceived. Then you may say how can I be sure that what I hear is the truth? The only way to be sure is to read and study to show yourself approved. Remember that God is all power, and wisdom and knowledge, he wrote only one Bible and didn’t need another, I preach a God who did it right the first time, what kind of god do you serve? To continue, today is the day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. On the day that Jesus was crucified, I believe that Satan believed that he had defeated Jesus because of his death, but what he forgot is that the prophecy of the death of the savior was to be followed by the resurrection of the same three days later. Jesus also himself stated that he would be raised up three days later. The Holy Spirit of God accomplished the resurrection. When God speaks the Spirit acts. So Satan was in for a surprise. The grave or death could not hold our savior down, just think the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will also quicken our bodies, we also shall be raised up, if we believe. Lets look at the sermons that Jesus preached. A lot of people don’t realize that it was not just the miracles of healing of the blind or crippled but look at his sermons. When Jesus taught there were at times two to five thousand people, men, not including women and children present. Most of all his sermons were out doors. Now look at this again. Out side and multitudes of people with no microphones or speakers. This in itself was a miracle. Lets look at the book of John CPT 21, let’s start with verse 1 and go through 21. Jesus has resurrected. And was meeting his disciples. Now if you remember Peter had denied Jesus three times earlier. Peter just as the other disciples had thought that when Jesus was crucified that there ministry was over and they went back to fishing. They had forgotten what Jesus had taught them and what He had promised. If you look at this chapter Peter had been fishing and they were eating. Jesus asked Simon {not Peter} do you love me more than these? Jesus wasn’t asking Peter if he loved him more than the other disciples, He was asking him if he loved Jesus more that the fish that he had caught. Some others may disagree with me but that’s ok. My point is this, Christ was asking Simon do you really love me more than the things of this world or the things that give you pleasure. Sense Peter had denied Jesus three times, Christ asked him three times, do you really love me? or am I just a interruption in your life that was fun for a while but lost its appeal? How many people do you know that appear to be sincere on church night, but down through the week wouldn’t give you the time of day when they are around their non Christian friends? Peter had to leave it to Christ to see if he was true to him, Sometimes we, as Christians also have to prove whether we are also true in our profession of Christ. The reason I say this is, Peter said, "you know all things" He allowed Jesus to look into his heart to see his penitent heart and his true intentions. Peter was a lot like we are today, he lost his vision and sometimes we do. The Bible states, " Without a vision, the people perish. Ask yourself this question, have I lost my vision, have I forgotten what Jesus said to me. Take the entire Bible personally, as if it was written just for you and too you, I believe that this will help you keep your vision. Some people believe that Jesus was going to build his church on Peter, because Jesus said thou art Simon Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. To me this assumption has a lot to be desired, Jesus was speaking about himself, Jesus was and still is the rock that we stand upon, the bright and morning star, the Lion of the Tribe of Juda, counselor, lilly of the valley, King, Priest, Intersessor. The only begotten Son of God. He is "the Rock". Lets look at Luke CPT 8,vers. 22 thru 26. Jesus said LET US GO OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. If you look at this phrase a little closer there is not only a command from Christ, but also a promise and a prophecy. When Jesus made statements there was a specific purpose to what He was saying. He never said anything that didn’t teach something. In Luke 8-22, Jesus was giving the disciples a promise of safe arrival to the other side of the lake, and was teaching them of faith. Christ knew that there was going to be an attempt to kill Him, and was not afraid. He said let us, the word us, designated the total company of pasangers, not just Jesus was to arrive on the other side. Will you arrive on the other side with Jesus or be left behind, Think about it.

Daniel 2:44-11:35 To begin with, what is prophecy, Its the study of future events. There are those who think that the rapture has already taken place, and that Jesus has already set up His kingdom on earth. I'm here to show that this type of thinking was the same in Pauls time. Lets look at 2nd Thessalonians, 2:1-5. A letter had been forged in Pauls name and was sent to the Church stating that the rapture had already taken place. 2nd,Thes 2:1-5 "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, nether by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand., Let no man deceive you..... The church here at Thessalonia was upset, for they received a false letter in Pauls name, they were sad because, they thought that they were lost because they believed that the church had already been raptured. What a blow that had to be on these people, waiting on Jesus to return and take them home and then hearing that He had already come and gone. Isn't that what were hearing today? Prophecy has to take specific time lines that were set up by God. There are over 230 prophetic verses in scripture that have to line up and be fulfilled before the rapture can take place. Unless otherwise noted, prophecy must be taken literally to be understood. There are two distinct fazes, listed in scripture, may I say, more than once, The first is the rapture and the second is the glorious appearing. Some reference for these are, Mth. 24:29-31, 25:31-46., Dan 2:35-44., Rev. 19:11-21. Look at John 14:1-3., 2nd Cor. 5:8-10 and Rev 19:1-10, These last three should be read in conjunction with each other. As you've noticed a lot of prophecy items are lined up with each other in one or two single verses. That is the reason we have to look carefully at each verse to see weather there are more than one event taking place. Here are some of the rapture passages listed in scripture. John 1`4:1-3 Phil 4:5 1Tim 6:14, Jude 21, Heb.9:28, and these are just a few. As you can see, God in His wisdom gave us the tools and information to decipher prophecy, and if it was important for God to install these prophecy passages, we should try to understand them. The second coming passages or Glorious Appearing passages are just as long and start from Dan 2:44-45 thru Rev 22:7,12 and 20. This is just the beginning of the study of the rapture and by no means are we even have way thru. Lets look at Daniel and the entire 70 weeks in retrospect. Daniel 9:24-27. 1st we have the Babylonian captivity, Cyrus decree to rebuild Jerusalem, then we have the restoration of 49 years, rebuilding the temple and the city walls under two different men. 1. Ezra and 2. Nehemiah. Next we have the 434 years of silence, or 62 heptads ,untill Messiah shall be cut off but not for Himself. And Jesus crucified, this is 483 years. That leaves 1 heptad or 1 seven year period of tribulation for the Jews, which is called in Jer.,30:3-11, the time of Jacobs trouble. End of 1st Lesson
The Rapture, Part 2.
Revelation 3:10-22:19
The Rapture, A coming event., Part 2. So far we see in looking back, the church could not have been raptured, because just these few things, required for the rapture have not taken place yet. We are thou, close, because the birth pains that Jesus spoke of, have already started. The pre trib. view, 1st. Thes,4:16-17, 1st Cor. 15:50-56, shows that Jesus will rapture His church before the tribulation begins.,thus fulfilling the scriptures of Rev. 3:10 and others. Remember that we are not appointed to wrath. Why is this study so important for us? We according to the word are not going to be here during the 70th week of Daniel, but remember, maby some of our children, friends and love-ones, that are not saved may be. The have to know what will happen and what to do and not to do. To coin a phrase, its for those who are left behind. Most Bible students make the mistake when they study prophecy, they try to use 1 verse to build a doctrine. Its good to keep in mind that sometimes a difference of opinion is determined weather you take the prophecy's, literally or metaphorically. So for our purposes we will take all literally. Jesus said in Rev. 3:10, Sense you have kept my command to endure patently, I will also keep you from the Hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world.... Since here, Jesus, is speaking to the entire church, and the church is still here, the rapture hasn't taken place. Some try to use Matt.24:34 and other single passages to build a doctrine, where they ere is where the prophecies,spoken of by Jesus had to be fulfilled first. The generation that sees these things come to pass, will be the generation, that will see the rapture. In Matt. 24:4 thru, Jesus speaks of many things that have to occur, 1. The gospel must be preached thru out the world. 2. Vers. 6 an 7 are two different references things that must take place. 3. Look at verse 8, All these are the beginning of sorrows, so sense these are only the beginning, all else has to take place. Lets go to Paul in ,1st Thess. Paul mentions the rapture in every chapter. Lets remember that when Paul wrote these letters, that there was a time lasps, between the time they were written and the time that they were delivered. In 1st Cor. Paul writes, Give no offense to the Jew or to the Greeks, which are the church of God.... This passage could be used alone to prove that the rapture hasn't taken place. Remember ,the Church that Jesus is coming back after will be comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, One Church, Joined together, in Revelations it is called, The General Assembly and Church of the First Born. This subject is very important, don't be deceived, people need to here that time is almost over and it will be time for them to give an account of themselves.

Exodus 20:3-20:17 The Ten Commandments A study of the past and a look into the future. Exodus 20;3-17. The children of Israel could not maintain a working relationship with God under the law of worship that God had laid down in the beginning, so God decided to give them something simple to follow. A sets of laws that they could follow. The Ten Commandments were written for the , Jewish House of Israel, and not for the gentiles, for at that time we knew not God and were not recognized by God as a people. This stayed the same all the way until the Jews rejected Jesus as Christ. This study deals with the individual aspects of the commandments and their impact upon all men. 1. Thou shall have no other gods before me. This commandment came about because of the continuing rebellion of Israel, in worshiping false gods, their people were told not to inter-marry with the local peoples because of their religious practices, again the gentile race at this time knew not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, only the idol gods at the time. 2. Thou shall not make unto the any graven image. What is a graven image? A graven image ,is any form of statue , made of wood, clay, bronze, gold, silver or any other substance, that depicts an animal, person, ect that people will bow down to and worship. Have you ever wondered why God, Himself, never allowed an image of Himself to be produced for us to worship? The answer is simple, unlike the other false gods of the earth, our God is spirit and alive, He never wanted us to worship something visible but to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. This is what separates The Great I Am from all others. The images of Jesus that we have today are an inaccurate, portraiel of the physical appearance of Jesus the man. The Bible states that Jesus had, short hair, short in stature and was not easy to look upon. There is nothing wrong using the pictures that we have so long as we don't worship them. We use them today to keep us in mind whom we are trying to become, like Jesus. 3. Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. It seems as thou, people today, wish to blaspheme Gods name as a matter of convenience and never take a second thought of the consequences. We don't take Gods name in vain because we are called by His name, according to scripture. To down grade God is to down grade ourselves, we are made in His image and in His likeness, we are who we are by the grace of God. 4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy. What is the sabbath day? To most people, its Sunday, but to scripture, its any day that we choose to worship the God of the Bible. We are not to judge any man on a sabbath, a new moon or holiday(festival). What ever day we choose, thou, must be kept a Holy Day in reverence to God and the sacrifice that Jesus had made for us. Some churches meet on Sunday, some on Winsdays, Fridays and some on multi able days of the week. Some alternate from Sunday to another day every other month. The Bible states that we are to meet more often as we see the day of the Lord approach. Most Churches that I attend meet three times a week. 5. Honor Thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days may be long upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth the. I wrote the entire verse for one reason. This is the first commandment with a promise. If you look closely, a child will live longer by obeying this commandment. On the other hand, they will loose life with disobedience. Why was this commandment so important to God to give a cause and effect? Because later Jesus stated that He would be all that we needed, Jesus stated, " Who is my Mother and Brethren, Those that do the will of My Father "This commandment was important because it was the pattern for us on the worship of God Himself, He is our Mother and Father and Brother and Sister, all that we will ever need. Remember that there will nether be male nor female in the kingdom of Heaven. The first commandment with promise that will decide our length upon this earth. God is not only able to promise but also to deliever upon His promises. 6. Thou Shall Not Kill. Thou shall not destroy the image of God. We are made in His image and likeness and when we kill others, we destroy the likeness of The Creator. We as God, have the right to defend what He has given us. The Bible states that God has His own armory, His weapons of Self defense and of Offensive warfare. So we as christians can say that killing others must be in line with the will of God. Killing indiscremently is not allowed. Other religions state that killing can be done to all that are guilty but the innocent must be spared. This type of religion states that the guilty are those that are of other religions and is a contridiction of Gods law, hereinto they are a false religion. Musslem for example. 7. Thou Shall Not Commit adultery. Adultery here is two different acts, the First is adultery against God, by going after other gods beside Him. Worshiping Him as a primary God and then worshiping another false god the rest of the time. What is a false god ? You can make a god out of any thing ,money, land , people, position, title just about anything. And when you lean toward these things, you commit adultery against God. The second thing here is adultery against your spouse, the physical or mental act with someone else except your mate. Jesus said that if a man( meaning male or female) lust after a woman in his mind then he hath committed adultery. The Bible deals with the subject in these two ways and also deals with the way to combat this sin. 8. Thou shall not steal. Theft is one of the major causes of people ending up in prison. In the time of the Law of Moses, a thief would be tried and if found guilty, the hand that did the stealing, would be cut off. Jesus made the way for a thief to be forgiven, . Mercy rejoyest over judgment. 9. Thou shall not bear false witness. Today it hard to know who is telling the truth and who is telling a lie. Someone who is not under the New Covenant is not bound to tell the truth. The Bible states it this way, "The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God and neither can be." Truth not always comes forth in the court rooms,it often depends upon how much money a person has to hide the truth. Jesus warned the doctors and lawyers that, theirs is the greater condemnation. Remember the old saying, "Believe one third of what you hear and only have of what you see." 10. Thou shall not Covet. Covet-ness is longing after what belongs to someone else. Seeking to have something that you haven't earned or cant afford, theft deals with this subject at times, when a person longs after something so much it leads to theft. This is not only a material possession but also can be a person, a neighbors wife or husband, ect. Jesus gives His own interpretation of these commandments in Matthew ,Mark, Luke and John. How many can you find. The Ten Commandments are just the start of commandments that God has handed down. Love thy neighbor as thy self is another one that you can add to the list. Abstention is also listed in scripture, in Acts 15:29, 1. Abstain from meats offered to idols. 2. Abstain from blood. 3. Abstain from things strangled. 4. Abstain from fornication. The Ten Commandments open up a lot of questions that we need to address and they open up a good avenue for discussion on their relivents for us today. I hope that this guide will be of help to open up avenues of discussion with the younger christian. The Ten Commandments, a study guide. Js. ARS.

Exodus 14:11-15:1 Praiseing God on the wrong side of the river. Exodus 14:11- 15:1 Ex 14:11, And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?...... Ex 15:1, Then sang Moses and the children of Isreal...... As Pharaoh persude the children of Isreal, they began to murmmer and complane, God had brought them out of bondage, He was their source and supply. But when it came to the sea, they wanted to give up and return into bondage again. They had forgotten about Gods dileverence. Only when they were safe across the river did they start praiseing God. They Praised Him on the wrong side of the river. What are the enemies of the christian? Doubt, uncertanty, confusion, lack of faith and ignorance. To recieve from God we hafe to know how to approach Him in spirit and truth. Why do we always hafe to wait on God to deliever us our of trouble before we praise Him? Has He caused us to doubt Him has He ever left us in bondage to satan under any condition, have we walked a lonely road alone?It seems that as a young christian we have the spirit and faith in us, so that we believe that we can beat the word at everything, and come out without a scratch. But something happens along the way to being mature in Christ, We as the Isrealites did reverse our praise and wait for the mirical in our lives before we praise God. We start praiseing God on the wrong side of the river. When your in trouble and dont know what to do, go to God and start praiseing Him. Dont take a wish list with you, God is not a Bank or a delivery boy. God is the Almighty, The first and the Last, the begining and the end, the Alpha and Omega. Doesnt the scripture say that, The Joy of the Lord is my strength. When your down, lonely, depressed, when the bill colectors start to call, when your family is sick, when you think that satan is haveing a hay day with your finances, your boss treatens to replace you with a machine, when your doctor tells you that you have cancer or heart desiese, throw up your hands. Yes, throw up your hands and start praiseing the Lord. Sing Him songs, Glorify His name, Dance to Him, Leap and shout and just praise Him. When you start praiseing God then you get His attention. The Lord inhabites our praise, so when we praise Him Hes there with us. The scripture tells us that Jesus would never leve us or forsake us, Hes there. We dont Glorify God after the delieverence but before. Look at the patrearcs of the old testiment, many before battle, praised God and thanked Him for the battle won, before the battle was fought.Look at Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. There are nine, Blessed ares, in Matthew 5, what Jesus said would happen will happen. We are blessed, we are not under bondage, we dont hafe to wine and complaine. We are supossed to use the old testiment scriptures as an example. So when are we going to church, when are we going to learn from the mistakes listed there? Today is the day of salvation, today is the day of our delieverence, today is the day we praise God, not tomorrow after we cross the river, but now on this side.We start now, praiseing God for our salvation. Have you ever noticed that most christians never call on God unless they want something or when something is wrong. You never hear about God in the news or on television unless there is a major event that has taken place, and then everyone, believer and unbeliever, wants God to bless there country or nation.Even in the churches, they talk of faith and prosperity and not once give God the praise for it. They say we have done this and we have done that and we want to thank this group and that group. But what about God? What about Jesus and the Holy Ghost? But you can sit back and watch, something always goes wrong and then they call upon God.Pride comes before a fall. When do they praise the Lord? Not before but after the Lord rescues them. When are we going to learn to lean on Jesus, when are we going to learn to praise God before we cross the river. When are we going to start thanking Him who delivers us in times of distress, when? Look at Psalms 148:1-2 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the Heavans, Praise Him from the heights. Praise ye Him all His angels, praise ye Him all His hosts. The Bible tells us a secret to get to the Lord ,in time of need praise,praise, praise. Its the key for hearing from God ,its the key to our finiances, its the key to our health, its the key to our life, and its the key to get us to the other side of the river. The waters are dark, swift and troubled, wouldnt you want the Lord on your side before you step into the water, which is the world? Its the world system that is trying to creep its long gangly fingers into the church. its the leaven of the pharsees thats trying to get into our schools and churches and homes by whatever way is open. Homosexualiety and perversness, drugs and alcohol, pornography and all manner of unrightiouness creaping throu the doors ,like a rageing river that wont be stopped. As it was in the day of Noah, so shall it be in the day of the second comming of the son of man. The river is rageing, fire and smoke and blood intermingle with the waters of change. Theres a storm comming and the river must be crossed.The waters are riseing where the government cant help, where your neighbour cant help, where the nations of the world cant help, we are against the bank of the river ,we cant take another steep, the waters are riseing and we are about to be overtaken. What do we do? Praise the Lord, praise Him with the harp and the stringed instruments, every thing that has breath, Praise the Lord. Not on the other side but now, and watch the difference it makes.Take the key, and open the doorway to Heavan, dont be caught up with the world. And dont be caught, Praiseing God,On the wrong side of the River.

Oproepen geen mensenvader
Matthew 23:523:10
Oproepen geen mensenvader A bekijken teleurstelling en Gevolgen. De instelling van de Christelijke godsdienst was en is nog
gebaseerd op de woorden van Jesus en de Heilige Geest opdracht gevend aan mensen om wetten en statuten voor te stellen die
aan de Vader tevredenstellend zijn. Velen hebben deze wet van Onze Vader in Hemel genomen en tot het aan niets effect op deze
aarde aan miljoenen gemaakt. Sommige tijdenmensen zullen, “Its allen in interpretation.” zeggen; Maar waar in
de Bijbel is verklaarde het dat, Scripture aan privé interpretatie slechts open is? Dit is een teleurstelling en een misleidende
verklaring. In Matthew 23:5 wij Jesus zien berispend de leiding van de Kerk voor Ijdelheid, laat gelezen; Matthew 23:510 maar
al hun werken die zij hebben doen voor van mensen worden gezien: zij maken hun phylacteries breed, en vergroten de grenzen
van hun kledingstukken,
En houd van de meest bovenste ruimten bij feesten, en van de belangrijkste zetels in de synagogen, en groeten in de markten,
en om worden geroepen van mensen, Rabijn, Rabijn. De stabiliteit van het Huis van Israël was niet op dit moment op de meningen
van de godsdienstige leiding. De leiders probeerden, zoals vandaag is, om hun invloed op de congregaties te vergroten. Het
maken van wetten en regels en het veranderen van de waarheid van het woord van God in een leugen. Ophoudend niet voor een
ogenblik om de schade te zien dat zij geen van beiden het spien hebben van het hebben gedaan. Deze mensen als wat zijn vandaag,
niet kunnen duidelijk zien geen van beiden zij verder kunnen zien dan hun eigen ambitie. Willend een naam maken voor zich
in de annalen van geschiedenis, maar wat zij er niet in slagen om te begrijpen, zal de geschiedenis noch hen herinneren noch
zal om het even welk van de heiligen van God. Stelt zich een vraag, waarom Jesus kwam aan deze aarde? Wat zo belangrijk was
dat hij, Glorie voor misbruik, een herenhuis voor een rots, Gouden Kledingstukken voor Vodden, Eer voor Schande opgaf? John
8:4549 en omdat ik u de waarheid vertel, ye gelooft me niet. Hoeveel zijn neergezet omdat zij de waarheid hebben verteld?
De mensheid heeft aan het punt gekregen dat zij eerder een leugen in plaats van het geloven van de waarheid zouden geloven.
Bemant waarheid is kortstondig en het is cankerous en gegeten mot.
Welke van u convinceth me van zonde? En als ik de waarheid zeg, waarom gelooft ye me niet? Waarom wont zij de waarheid geloven,
verwerpen het bericht na bericht van het Woord van God en velen nog de waarheid. De mens heeft stated;” Wij hebben een
Roadmap aan Vrede in Middeneast.” ontwikkeld; De feitenstaat; Het Consulaat van de V.S. in de klap van Saudi-Arabië
Een aanval op het consulaat van de V.S. in Jiddah, Saudi-Arabië, verliet vijf niet Amerikaanse personeelsleden, vier politie
en drie extremisten, de Saoedi-arabische ambtenaren dood van de V.S. en bovengenoemd na de lange slag van drie uur.
Kostuum tegen militair beleid inzake Homosexuelen, woede Gunfights in de straten van Bagdad. Na het ontsnappen van de PA gevangenis
verscheidene maanden geleden, keerde Kamil aan het gebied Jenin terug en verhoogde beduidend zijn betrokkenheid in de Islamitische
activiteit van Jihad. Kamil is de oorzaak van zowel het uitvoeren van als het leiden van explosieve apparatenaanvallen en
het ontspruiten van aanvallen tegen Israëlische veiligheidskrachten die in het gebied Kabatya werken. Kamil wierf een enorm
aantal arbeiders aan de Islamitische infrastructuur van Jihad in het gebied Jenin aan.
Zelfs daarna deze mens roept nog anderen vader. Wat gedaan zij hebben, hebben zij leverden om het even welk van zonde, hebben
zij bewaarden één enkele ziel, hebben zij creëerden om het even wat van niets, hebben zij ertoe bewogen de mens om bij vrede
met elkaar te zijn, nr. Zij kunnen niets doen. En wat over hen die de waarheid horen, Jesus zei; Hij die van de woorden God’s
van de God heareth is: ye hoort hen daarom niet, omdat ye niet van God is. Dit was houdt vandaag een ruwe verklaring wasn’t
het, maar deze verklaring van Christus nog waar? Het antwoord is ja. Alles Jesus zei en deed was van de Ware Vader in Hemel
en niet maakte een mens doctrine van menselijke fatherhood. Dan de Joden, en unto hem, goed wij niet dat beantwoordde zei
thou kunst Samaritan, en hast een duivel zegt? {Dit was een voorbeeld van Blaspheme van het Heilige Spook}
Jesus antwoordde, heb ik geen duivel; maar ik eer mijn Vader, en ye onteert me.
{Mat 23:1213 zal en whosoever zich zal zijn abased verheffen; en hij die bescheiden zelf zal zal worden verheven.
Maar narigheidsunto u, schrijvers en Pharisees, hypocrites! voor ye die het koninkrijk van hemel wordt gesloten tegen mensen:
voor ye geen van beiden in uzelf gaan, geen van beide lijd aan ye hen dat om binnengaan binnen te gaan.}
[ ABA’SED, blz. die tot een lage staat wordt verminderd, humbled, gedegradeerd. ] Jesus in dit vers verklaart de staat
van de Priester en anderen die durften om boven het niveau van bediende aan de mensen te verheffen. Jesus verklaarde dat,
hij kwam dienen en niet worden gediend. Deze laatste verzen zijn de meest genegeerde verzen in Scripture, laat gelezen;
“But ben ye geen geroepen Rabijn: want één uw Meester is, zelfs Christus; en al ye is brethren.
En roep de geen mens uw vader op de aarde: want één uw Vader is, wat in hemel is.
Geen van beide wordt ye geroepen meesters: want één uw Meester is, zelfs Christ.” Bevelen van Jesus. Teken 7:7 aanbidden
zij me Howbeit vergeefs, die voor doctrines de bevelen van mensen onderwijst.
Matthew 15:9 maar aanbidden zij me vergeefs, die voor doctrines de bevelen van mensen onderwijst.
John 14:15 als ye van me houdt, houdt mijn bevelen.
Matthew 19:17 en hij zei unto hem, waarom het meest callest thou goed me? er zijn goed niets maar één, namelijk God: maar
als thou verwelkt ga in het leven binnen, houden de bevelen. Als dit niet belangrijk voor de vereniging van de mens voor God
was, zou Jesus deze bevelen niet verklaard hebben. Onze verhouding met de Vader is gebaseerd op onze goedkeuring van hem zoals,
Vader, Adviseur, Leraar, Koning, Meester, en Almachtige God. Maar wanneer wij de mens op het zelfde niveau zoals God toen
zetten is er een analyse in onze verhouding met God. “Howbeit in vain” ” Maar in vain’ zij aanbidden
me! Is hoort draait uw verering vergeefs van God, hij uw gebeden en verzoeken of hij van hem terug naar een overspelige en
gainsaying persoon? Roept u een mens Heilige Vader, die kan noch gebeden beantwoorden noch zonde vergeven? {Maar narigheidsunto
u, schrijvers en Pharisees, hypocrites! voor ye die het koninkrijk van hemel wordt gesloten tegen mensen: voor ye geen van
beiden in uzelf gaan, geen van beide lijd aan ye hen dat om binnengaan binnen te gaan.} deze mensen waren bestemd voor Hel,
zijn u? Zijn tijd om scriptures, zijn tijd te denken en te zoeken om de waarheid vóór zijn te recent te horen.
