How many messes could be avoided, if we just got all the facts before we made decisions!

I FEEL GREAT

I feel good in the Lord today! their is no wondering in my soul of what GOD is going to do. All I know is that whoever does whatever this one thing remains the same, the LORD is in control of it all!! and he will have his will be done. Remember, just because judgement has not fell yet doesn't mean it's not on it's way, he is mercifully. I feel good because even though the adversary tries to bring us down "I still remain".

think on these things

Today I've been prompted to consider how good GOD has been to me. In living this life i cant say that i have been in the right way to meet the LORD at all times. Now I understand we all fall short, and it is necessary to commune with the LORD daily. The reason that this thought is upon me is not about the times that I've failed him.It's that I started thinking about those who have left his presence and backslide, never to meet the LORD in mercy again! I know way to many that walked away the way I did that have not returned, in the truth. For the very reason that I'm writing this, which was born out of prayer is a testimony unto itself. This one impression was left on me this afternoon that because of mercy "I yet remain" though many that I've started out with have perished "PRAISE HIS NAME"!!!!! Y.F.T

been thinking!!!!!

Confidence. Now that's a weighty word for the fact that it is so very important. For someone to hear that they have lost confidence in another is a terrible thing. You see because, no matter how you try to make things out to be, or how you try to spin things the truth will remain "trust is lost". The problem of losing others trust is that after the moment the verdict is finally for them, nothing is ever the same. THEY JUST DON'T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE.

think

"When you are born, you come into the world crying, while those that surround you smile. Live your life so that when they lay you to rest, you will be smiling as all those around you cry." Author unknown

a thought

It's purely ridiculous, but their are a whole lot of people that desperately desire a certain thing in their life. Now desiring something of good in someones life is not whats absurd. The madness is that their doing everything to oppose their own blessing. Now if this was being done out of ignorance that would be one thing, but it's a willfully act on their part. Sometimes we as people can be our worst enemy, just because we think were so smart, I'm convinced that sometimes were just educated fools! ( sorry for the bluntness, but I've got to write it the way i feel it)

keep it real

O'how we want GOD to forgive us of our sin's, and GOD please overlook these shortcoming's of mine. Remember Lord, that I'm just dust O'GOD. BUT does it ever cross your mind O'wicked servant to forgive those that trespass against YOU!! We have got to understand that my Brother,Sister was fearfully and wonderfully made also. Verbal Bean made a statement once (God don't care until you care)I agree with the old prophet. You cant even come and bring your gift to the alter until you MAKE IT RIGHT!!! with your brother. Your sad feelings about the way things are, is not enough you MUST reconcile with them or your lost.If GOD want accept you sacrifice (worship, offerings)until you have made it right, then tell me HOW will you be saved! Go make peace with one another, if for no other reason than,I MUST BE SAVED. Y.F.T

thankful

Believe me when I say, that when your able to receive good solid words, from good solid leaders it's a blessing that just about rivals any other. Y.F.T

ASAPH ( as soon as possible, hurry)

Asaph had a problem,for 16 verses in (psa 73 1-16) he's writing about the wicked he saw, the ones that didn't even acknowledge God were being blessed. All asaph could see was that all his righteous living was done in vain, well just take a good look and see their prosperity, compared to my meager means. Now we can't be to hard on asaph, because his reaction is not that different than a lot of us today (if were honest). But in verse 17, after getting into the presence of the LORD when he went to the sanctuary,then he Understood their end. We don't have to be in obscure poverty to be Godly, nor do I believe that God in his righteous judgements can't bless us with great wealth and possessions, but he knows what we need to be saved. Wither we have much or little just remember this one thing, the abundance or lack of stuff matters little, what matter's is the END!!! Y.F.T

People make idols, out of the strangest things. Y.F.T

watch out

REFRAIN from these men,(leave them alone). This was the statement from wise counsel, concerning the treatment of men of GOD! For if this council or this work be of men, it will fail: but if be of GOD, boy's watch out because you wont be able to stop it!!! (read acts 5:38-39)First of all, we got to understand that God's in control of this thing and no man will be able to glory in his own works forever. Be watchful of the way you conduct yourself with another saint, but their are certain men that you are to be exceedingly careful of how you treat. Men of GOD, the one's that have really been called of him are to be left alone! That means your criticism and labeling are out of ORDER, you might find yourself fighting against GOD!!!

love one another

We live this life to please the Lord and prepare for heaven, that should be our goal!! But while we are on this journey called life,if we are successful at it, were able to obtain relationships. Now I used the word successful, and I use that word with full intention, because if we go through this life and never create lasting relationships WE HAVE FAILED. JESUS wants to have a relationship with us, and he wants us to have one with others. If you never try to cultivate friendships,then at the end of the day when its all said and done and you start to look around and see no one their, don't look surprised,your true love is still close YOURSELF. Y.F.T

Lineage in Christ

Lineage, their are those that try to lean on the arm of what others have done. Their are those that try to rely on their parents standing with GOD, but they themselves have no real depth in HIM. Even though we learn much from the victories of those that have preceded us and get direction, we HAVE to get this for ourselves. What dear old dad did does not automatically qualify you at all. But if you are of the lineage of CHRIST, if you have been buried with him in baptism then in life you will rise. We desperately need direction from the elders, BUT what are you doing to make sure your heritage is true, because in turn your heritage dictates your future in him.

look up

Is their any among you sick? Is their any that hunger and thirst after righteousness. Well I say unto you COME, you don't have to feel that life has passed you by! Their is no use for that cloud to hang around any longer. Two thousand years ago Jesus hung on a cross to clear the air of all the clouds of doubt,hurt,fear and any thing else that the enemy would try to throw our way. Without a doubt this IS going to be your best moment yet!!!! You can't lose, God's on your side!! the gates of hell will not prevail against the church, make sure your in the bride, not just a building and I'll rejoice with you over yonder. Y.F.T

times up

This morning I woke up with a definite word. YOUR about to be forced by GOD to show your hand, God's about to call your bluff!!! I never played cards, mainly because those type of games just never interested me. But as I woke this morning a scene was unfolded before me,and that was of a poker game. Now I was not always in church, I've been around card games before, it's all about holding the upper hand and winning the purse. But in a game of Chance you might be holding some cards, but only the one with all the goods will win. Don't know who this is for, but recheck your hand because TIMES UP!!! Y.F.T

Dagon worship, selfwilled worship

An head,torso and hands of a man,but a body of a fish. This was the description of DAGON,idol of the philistines,head represents human reasoning,hands represents human ingenuity sitting on the body which represented their prosperity.And so the worship went on at the temple of dagon,from the head down, worship of the way they could figure it out, worship of their craftiness in which brought about their substance.But one day someone thought it would be a good idea to set the ark of JEHOVAH GOD before dagon or you could say before self worship.After the first day dagon had to bow,the second day all of his reasoning and craftiness was rolling around on the floor. IF you have self worship in you, take notes from dagon you will either bow or break.Y.F.T

sail on

Thank GOD for defined boundaries, Bro Mullen's preached on a river, when within its banks, its a powerful moving force. You can sail on a river, a river is moving, its alive with current. BUT if the boundaries are breached, it becomes nothing but a marsh; something just to get stuck in. Its a swamp, breeding nothing but blood sucking, life destroying mosquitoes and a host of other vile creatures. I could go on and on relating this to the spiritual, but I believe you get the idea. Y.F.T

defining times 2

When the runner is assigned his lane by the official,the goal is the only thing that runner is consumed with. And while their is a line on his left and right, his only concern is to stay in the boundaries of his lane that the official deemed to be his.Never does he try to run close to the line,in fact the runner is safer, when he stays well within the boundaries of what is set before him.The runner knows that being careless,could cost him everything all of the sacrifice,all of the suffering in training WILL be of naught if while in the heat of the race,he crosses that line.Run for the prize, looking at the finish line that lays ahead, but always remember don't step over the disqualifying line. Y.F.T.

defining times

MADNESS-sanity, FANTASY-reality, LIE-truth; now, why did these selected words have this particular arrangement and capitalization, that will come later. Their is such a fine line between a life being lived in reality and fantasy. Now to the one living either or,to them it is the right way to go about it. That is why we are not to "lean unto our own understanding" but at least, even though the line be thin and fine its their!! In this life which "is here today and gone tomorrow" and after tomorrow the judgement, their has to be the line that separate truth from the lie. If the water be murky, how will the swimmer swim? If the lines be dusted away until their is no definement to them, how will the runner run? In the Olympics, a runner is disqualified if he or she steps out of their lane and their foot crosses that line. more later... Y.F.T
