Remember with me what Jesus said to us all....I send you forth as sheep amongst wolves. Be wise as serpents but harmless as doves.....Our Lord knew what we his followers would face in this world. He knew that the same spirit of this world that attacked him daily and nailed him to the cross by the spikes of envy and blindness would show us no mercy either. He called thosepeople "Wolves". Have you ever felt the cruelty of those wolves because of your love and devotion to Jesus? Have you ever been shocked at how this present generation EVEN IN AMERICA has become such a hostile crowd shouting their venom against the Lord Jesus Christ and His Body the CHURCH. Sometimes I feel like we are back in time again at the court of Pontius Pilate and the world is deciding again what to do with Jesus. Choose him or Barabbas who represented ANTICHRIST. Friends they are deciding. They are making their eternal choice and they will not escape their perdition if they continue to persecute Jesus and his followers. So when these anti Jesus spirited people nail you to the manifold crosses of their rejection, whether it be by disassociation, or mockings, or thru the cruelties of words as well as by the inflicting of wounds, THINK NOT that such is a strange thing happening to you. It is normal as carriers of the cross of Christ. For the scriptures tell us not only are we being honored and glorified together with Jesus, but we are also honored to suffer with him in this anti Jesus atmosphere/generation in this present world of darkness.For we remind you in love that the Shepherd shall again be struck in these last days by a great rejection by the spirit of AntiChrist so that the sheep might be again scattered and become separated & sanctified from the children of perdition who loved darkness more that light. As you see this truth more and more unfolding before your eyes and ears let your heart cleave to the Lord our Savior and God above all your yesterdays. Let your heart become one with the local saints as well as those abroad for we need each others strength and encouragement to stand strong and not fall away in despair of the opposition. And let us remember that GOD IS WITH US IN ALL OUR TRIALS AND TROUBLES....AND THAT GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN US THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. And let us pray as ONE earnestly the prayer of the Apostle Paul who lived his life according to words as penned here in this writing.......HE WROTE....2 Thessalonians 3:1-2)..Finally brethren, PRAY FOR US, {here is what we should pray}.....that the gospel of Jesus Christ will have free courseand be glorified.......vs 2) And that we may be delivered from wicked and unreasonable men; for not all man have faith.. Paul, Peter, James, St John and the early church felt the stings of this worlds rejection of Jesus and his gospel. But they also tasted Gods manifold blessings of the full blessings of the gospel as well as Christ in them alive thru it all. So can and should we. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. In closing I want to remind you of some church history. When Rome persecuted the early Christians, the early Christiansrefused to compromise their love and stand for Christ. Being burned at the stake. Being fed to lions before a mocking crowd they found a grace rise up inside them that gave them unusual strength and courage and caused them to remain steadfast and bold. They praised the Lord in their sufferings for HIS NAME SAKE whether they tasted the sword, the lions, or the fire. In time this sowing of intercession in prayers, praise and in what their blood cried out unto God, won Rome over to Jesus. A nation of many many gods and several beliefs who opposed the Cross of Christ almost like no other, through what they saw and heard from these uncompromising early saints, caused them to cast away their false gods and embraced by faith the ONE TRUE GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST....
FAMILY WHAT A TIME FOR US TO SHINE LIKE THEY DID IN OUR PRESENT AMERICA....GOD CAN TURN THE HEART OF THIS NATION BACK TO HIM. LET US PRAY THE PRAYER WE DISCUSSED IN THIS MESSAGE TODAY AND ASK GOD TO BAPTIZE AMERICA AFRESH WITH THE GRACE OF FAITH AND UNITING LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS.....ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD AND NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION IS OR SEEMS TO BE, JESUS TOLD US ALL THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PRAYING AND FAINT NOT......Deno......America Founded By Believers For Believers.
We may feel that we are justified to not
forgive someone because of the way they hurt us and made us feel by the
offense. This is old testament theology thinking. You know the eye for
an eye, tooth for a tooth view. But Christ abolished that
old rule of the Law nailing its fulness to the Cross. Now God commands
us all to repent, to believe on His Son and to forgive everyone all
their trespasses and sins which they have committed against us SO THAT
WE CAN BE FORGIVEN BY GOD. When someone has really hurt you,
sinned against you and offended you deeply. It is then you must look
unto Jesus and remember the Cross. Oh how they offended him that day.
Think of how they called him a liar, a blasphemer, a false prophet.
Think of how they abused him, beat him, stripped his garments off and
slashed him with those cord whips of metal tips that cut his flesh to
burn and sting. Think of how they chose a thief over him. Think of how
they mocked him all the way to the hill called Calvary. Then once there,
they without mercy slammed him upon the wood and nailed his feet and
hands to the Cross. We would think in human terms of wisdom that Jesus
would be justified and have every right to call fire down from heaven
and burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. But despite all his pain.
Despite all the agony. Despite all that they were saying in mockery
Jesus won the victory for us by Loves Way of intercession when he
prayed, "Father forgive them for they know not what they have done". Was
he sinned against? YES. Was he publicly humiliated? Yes. Was he
despised and rejected of men? YES. Was he abused?Yes even beyond
recognition. For Isaiah wrote in his scriptures, He was marred and
disfigured in his abuse to the degree he was unrecognizable....And
hanging there in that marred and disfigured form he
cried...FORGIVE...FORGIVE...FORGIVE...FORGIVE THEM. HE FORGAVE
US.....
The second most important sermon I suppose that my dad ever
preached when he was on earth next to repenting and believing on Jesus
Christ was WE ALL MUST FORGIVE AND IN THE LIGHT OF HIS CROSS WE HAVE NO
EXCUSE NOT TO.......DENO....AMERICA FOUNDED BY BELIEVERS FOR BELIEVERS........please share freely
JESUS WILL GET YOU THERE (FOR SURE) ...THATS
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. TO SET HIS NAME FAR
ABOVE ALL THE RELIGIONS, FANTASIES AND THEORIES OF THE REST WHO WERE NOTHING MORE THAN IMPOSTERS AND PRETENDERS
AND COUNTERFEITS THAT SATAN PLANTED IN THE CULTURES OF THE WORLDS SOCIETIES. GOD RAISING JESUS FROM THE DEAD SHATTERS ALL THE MYTHS AND DECLARES THAT JESUS IS
THE REAL DEAL. HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE AND SURE HOPE....LIKE THE CENTURION SAID ON THE DAY JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED. THE EARTH BEGAN TO SHAKE ALL AROUND THEM AT HIS DEATH AND HE CRIED OUT THE TRUTH SAYING......SURELY THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD....IT WAS......DENO
Christ gave his life for all people. He bled
and died for the whole world. All thru Him and In Him can be saved. Its
there for the taking. The price has been paid for IN FULL. There is no
outstanding debt. Nothing no more owed. He covered it
all thru his cross. He offers his life and his eternity to you
absolutely free of charge. IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD THAT JESUS PAID FOR IN
FULL THRU THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS. JUST RECEIVE HIM BY FAITH. SAY LORD
JESUS I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING AND LOVING GOD. I BELIEVE
THAT YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND THAT GOD RAISED YOU FROM THE DEAD FOR OUR
GREAT AND ENDURING HOPE. FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS AND COME AND LIVE IN MY
HEART NOW AND FOREVER. I RECEIVE YOU BY FAITH. MY HOPE IS IN YOU AND YOUR BLOOD...AMEN..
The government of the United States has become
the biggest lottery in the world with the most winners. 46 million
winners every month at the expense of more weight upon the backs of the
wallets of the business owners and the workers of America....What
was that old song by Edgar Winter back in the 70s? Come on and take a
FREE RIDE......AMERICA IS BEING RIPPED OFF AND RIPPED APART AT THE
SEAMS. ITS TIME TO GET RIGHTEOUSLY UPSET SOMEBODY AND STOP THIS MADNESS.
HE WANTS TO LEAVE US DESPERATE AS A NATION AMERICA. BURIED ALIVE IN
DEBT THAT WE CAN NEVER GET OUT FROM UNDER ITS CRUSHING WEIGHT....ITS AND
INSIDE JOB AND THE DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND OF THE NATION FELL FOR
IT....
Now my mom and dad the preachers taught us kids to not be ugly and I don't like being ugly with words...BUT TO BE QUITE FRANK WITH YOU IF
WHAT IM READING DEEP DOWN IN MY SPIRIT IS CORRECT ABOUT WHATS GOING IN
OUR COUNTRY, ITS GOING TO GET REAL UGLY FOR US ALL IN AMERICA FOR
FALLING FOR AND ELECTING A LIE WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER HIDDEN BEHIND
ONE OF THE GRANDEST SMILES THIS NATION EVER WAS ENCHANTED BY.
JESUS SAID... BY THEIR
FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM....ALL THAT IS STRONG IN AMERICA HE IS
WEAKENING. OPEN YOUR EYES AMERICA. ALL THAT IS WEAK AND CAN BRING THIS
NATION DOWN HE IS PROMOTING WITH VIGOR. UNBEARABLE DEBT, DISARMING OUR MILITARY STRENGTH. GIVING F16S TO
FORMER ENEMIES WE COULD NEVER TRUST. PROMOTING WHAT GOD SAYS IN HIS WORD
ARE ABOMINATIONS AND THAT BRING FORTH FROM HEAVEN A STRONG REBUKE....
There are a lot of fairy tales in the world
when it comes to religion and myths but only ONE TRUTH SHALL STAND FOR
ALL ETERNITY. It is Jesus Christ the Son of God who died for our sins and
rose again for our real hope for salvation and a better
tomorrow.
ON YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY what will the feet of your hearts trust
be standing on? MINE WILL BE STANDING ON THE ROSE OF SHARON, THE GREAT NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
THAT GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND SAT DOWN IN HIS FAR ABOVE ALL THRONE
AND RESTING PLACE FOREVER. ALL OTHER NAMES AND RELIGIONS ARE NO WHERE
FOUND SITTING WITH JESUS IN HEAVENLY PLACES. ONLY JESUS AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND
BELONG TO CHRIST......The rest are fairy tales and religious lies and
myths. All the squalls and the screams and all the dust of the earth
thrown up in the air on television by those entrapped by great religious
lies cannot change Gods mind on this matter. FOR IT WAS GOD HIMSELF IN
CHRIST JESUS, AND GOD CANNOT IN NO WAY EVER LIE AS TO DENY HIMSELF....In
the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the WORD WAS
GOD.....And the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us - JESUS
CHRIST.......DENO....AMERICA FOUNDED BY BELIEVERS FOR BELIEVERS
