In
the new Testament, we can find that the first twelve apostles/disciples
for a period of time took their hands off the plow of devotion and
commitment to Christ, went thru the drag of doubt and unbelief and for a
short period of time LOOKED BACK. John 21:3,Luke 24:10-11, Mark
16:9-14)...How be it, when I dig into the scriptures about the life and
commitment of the Apostle Paul, all one can see is incredible 100%
devotion and commitment to the Lord and His work. The world could not
beat or insult his love and devotion to Jesus out of him. We find over
and over in the scriptures that they sure tried. BUT THEY FAILED. What a
heart for God. We have pleasant stages, air conditioned auditoriums,
Orchestras and books by the zillions. Paul, well He was overflowing with
the Spirit of Jesus here, there, everywhere. That's what made all the difference in his world. That made even all the
persecutions a rejoicing matter, not a downer. And this is what we need
these days. The grace of being full of Jesus. Full of faith & Full
of the Spirit of God. You will be surprised how content one can be when
he or she is rich in faith and in the Presence of God. He can make a
simple walk in the woods a most satisfying and delicious to the soul experience all
because of His Presence and it's delicious taste..... In His Presence is fulness of Joy. His Spirit, His Presence is the real THIRST QUENCHER.......Seek and you shall find.....deno.......please share freely.........Let these videos Bless You....They Most Certainly Will.
He
breathed...I will bring to your table the hearts that I have prepared
for the Bread that I have giving you.....Just keep feeding and feeding
and feeding My sheep. They are mine.....One plants, One waters, But
only God gives the increase....When you stand before Me I will not ask
of you what others did. I will ask of you what you said and did....He
that is faithful in small responsibilities I will purge and empower for
greater works. I did not go to Jerusalem expecting to be loved and
praised by the people. The fire was already kindled and I knew it. I
went to be betrayed and to suffer rejection and to die on the Cross for
the sin of the world. He that loves his life will lose it. But he that
hates his life will find the life in Me his heart craves. There is no
true satisfaction outside of Me saith the Lord. Feed My Sheep. Trust and
Obey. If you desire fame My heart shall see it. If you take up the
Cross My soul shall rejoice. Even as I told Peter
before I sent him forth. I fore told him that he would die for My Name
and gospel sake. Even so, I commanded of him to FOLLOW ME. .....I have not
called you to replace any shepherd. Nor to undo the works that are gone
before. I have called you to their side. Not in front of them, nor
behind them, In the Vision I showed you, I planted you by There
Side....Love them. Honor them. Lift them up. For the days of Oneness of
My People has come. All has been done to divide you. Now all shall be
done to unite every heart that calls upon My Name. For this is an hour
where the sheep must not be astray. For many are the wolves in the land.
This is a dry season in the world. Only in Me is the Living Water.....A
word from the Lord.......deno
My Sheep Hear My Voice and They Follow Me and No Other.....Jesus
Frogs
can do so much that we can't..... They can even jump from one lily pad
to the other without sinking the lily pads. They can catch flies with
their tongues for supper. You can't do that. Do you know that there are
things that you can do that even Almighty God with all His glory and
power cannot do? He cannot lie. He cannot steal. He cannot sin. He
cannot break His Word. He cannot bear false witness. He cannot forgive
FOR you. He cannot over ride your will. He cannot break His scriptures.
He cannot save you if you do not choose to be saved. He cannot repent
for you. He cannot even wash all your sins away without you willing it
or without you asking Him to. If He could do all these things without
all the world asking and being involved, then all the world would be
washed in Christ blood right now and all the world would be saved and
there would be no need to preach the gospel to all the nations. And
neither can our Nation be healed without us asking God and following the
instructions He gave us in the book of Chronicles. He will always do
His part if we will do ours......deno
Wake
up my fellow Americans. The people of California took a vote about the
same sex marriage issue. The people in what could be the most liberal
state in the Union said NO NO NO to it. Well what did those who did not
want the power of the people to prevail do? Unconstitutionally went
around the will of the people of California and took the issue to the
persuadable few Judges of the State of California which being
interpreted means, the will of the people was made null and void by the
will of a handful of votes. HELLO. And again....the will of the people
concerning gun control voted yes to uphold and keep our Constitutional
Right of the 2nd amendment concerning our right to bare Arms and no to
the desire of the present Administration to take away guns...... And
what are they doing to get around the will and vote of WE THE PEOPLE OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....Going to the U.N. to subject the will of
the American people under their rulings....Unbelievable. Enough is
Enough America. We are not the ones trying to break the law of the
Constitution. The ones who are. The guilt and the weight is on them. NOT
US.
Jesus Is Lord. The Beauty Of The Lord Can Still Be Seen Though He And The Fathers Creation Has Been Marred By Sin. One Day In The Near Future He Shall Fulfill His Scripture, "Behold I Make All Things New." We His Children Will Be There This Time To See The Power And Might Of His Infinite Glory And Word In Universal Size Action And Beyond. After That, We're Going To Get To Make Some Serious Road Trips. All Aboard.....deno....Be Blessed....please share freely.
How long has it been since in the great USA that we have heard the leaders of our Nation use the words, "Let us love one another as Americans in sincerity and in truth, and IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IN GODLINESS? hmmm. At one time in our history, this was the norm. Almost the whole nation was on the same page concerning the above Words AND PREACHED IT. Now we do hear our chosen leaders these days over and over again use the words, exercise patience, tolerance, political correctness. We hear them use the words investigate, division, scandals, mislead, misled, and talk about so called hate crimes when people stand up for God and the morals he set for us all in the bible. We hear them use the words bigotry, acts of violence, and terrorism. We hear them use the words to describe themselves like deceit, deceitful, cover ups, abuse of power, spying, spyware, national crisis. We hear them us the words illegal aliens, lie trafficking, irresponsible government, non balanced budget, out of control spending and incompetence. We hear them use the words oath breaker, welfare fraud and abuse and abuser, and lying under oath. We see and hear them fight for the right to be wrong. To make lite of the womb and disgrace and shame us and God with their humanist redefining of what marriage is and what religion means. Even Atheism has been now voted to be a religion by the Supreme Courts and two men lying together in perversion is now called by enforced legislation to be NORMAL. And then there's those DRONES. You know, those evil flying winged machines with funny little ears and beety little eyes always buzzing around us trying to zoom their ears and eyes in on our conversations to see if we are saying or doing something wrong. You've got to be kidding me. Dear God with all the lies, deceit, fraud, oath breaking, cover ups of our government and elected officials, WHO ARE THEY TO JUDGE OF US WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. They haven't a clue anymore. Seems to me they've got the drones pointed in the wrong direction. hmmmm. To love thy neighbor as thyself is offensive words these days in America. Unbelievable. And the scriptures that preach, "Our Kings are to rule in righteous." Well those words are not to be tolerated either because their from the awful bible and that's just disgraceful to the nation today and they are not politically correct. What you really mean is that they are not politically correct FOR CORRUPTION STYLE IMMORAL GOVERNMENT & BEHAVIOR. America, once God shed His grace on thee and crowned thy good with brotherhood. But today darkness is covering the land. The darkness of evil and tyranny and sinister activity and immoral rot. The darkness of lies, deceit and cover ups. The darkness of wit illusions where Words are being redefined by corrupted minds that cannot discern the head from the tail, or a man from a woman. This is an evil and unfaithful to God and to one another delusional generation. A period of the powers of darkness against this nation that has been so effective that in almost every branch of life and service in America the people now call evil good, and good evil. They love and live for the rewards and pleasures of iniquity, instead to honor and please God only. Shall these words be penned by the prophets again about America, " O Lucifer, How art thou fallen from heaven?....... When the nation is falling by the way side because of the crushing weight of it's iniquities, it's lies, it's cover ups and immoral behavior, and God's watchman from their pulpits limit their tongues to only preach How Sweet It Is Sermons and Get Rich Quick Messages, America is in Double Trouble. That means deceit or corruption, one of the two is every where in the land like it was in Israel, even in many shepherds, when God had to bring them to their knees and that on foreign soil pressured by foreigners wills because even the elders of Israel stood for evil going on in the land. It was profitable to look the other way and just say, All is well. All is well. We need a morals revival in America mixed with a lot of mercy and the power of God that restores proper righteous insight. Maybe even all of us......deno....please share freely.
When we stand gazing at the one pierced in hands and feet for our sins, we cannot help but stand there gazing in awe and amazement. For there upon what seemed to the world to be the most agonizing and most uncomfortable place in all the world to be that day, was actually the most Comforting grace God ever gave and displayed for mankind. What looked to the world like the most merciless situation upon a Cross was actually the greatest Mercy in all the world being activated from heaven itself for all people in all the nations of the world. What A Savior. The Lamb of God. Thinking on this, I'm reminded right now of the scripture in the book of Isaiah the 52 chapter, verse 14. What a revealing scripture of what our Redeemer (The Lamb of God) went thru that day, the day the world pondered in darkness the blow to one of such great light. It says, that as they gazed upon Him, it was and He was an astonishing sight. His face and countenance had been and was marred more than any man. He had been so abused and so beaten that no face, no visage had ever looked so disfigured. One translation of this tells us that he was beaten to such great degree that you could not even recognize who he was or that he was human. More than ANY MAN Ever the Son of God was marred. It amazes me what our precious Jesus went thru for our redemption. Sometimes I weep when my heart strings are pressed with the thought of what He went thru. Never having done anything wrong EVER, still yet, He thru His Eternal Spirit (Hebrews 9:11-14) offered up His blood filled body (THE LAMB) to be ripped and torn to shreds and beaten beyond recognition by a hate filled, sin ridden world whose hate was strengthened by Satan himself against the Son Of God. (John 8:44) And then if all that wasn't enough to awe and amaze us, we have another awing scripture to behold and take in. This scripture shouts it's amazing message to us all and it is not a quiet one. It's a truth almost to much to accept and believe, but it is scripture and the scriptures Jesus said cannot BE BROKEN. Isaiah 53:10, here it is........YET IT PLEASED THE LORD TO BRUISE HIM, speaking of the Father who Jesus called His God (John 20:15-17) (The Father) See Hebrews 1:8-9). IT PLEASED OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO BRUISE HIM...He has put him to grief." What amazing words. What awing scriptures. Words and scripture backed by love for us that we naturally cannot fathom or figure. The sinless and purest Son of God whose heart was more innocent, more lovely, and more pure that the purest of children's hearts was beaten, bruised, wounded, torn, ripped to shreds with cuts to the bone and to his visage to where he was disfigured and marred more than any man then nailed to a Cross. All accomplished because, not of evil, but the root of the Cross is found in the great revelation of what was my dads favorite verse in the bible John 3:16 because God So Loved The World. God loved you and I with the greatest love that exist. As it is written, Greater Love hath no man than this, than to lay his life down to save others.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, we stand in awe of You and how much you love us. Open our eyes Lord to understand the Greatness of Your Love for us as to Walk in it's glory and power to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us, so that we become greater witnesses in this world of the love of the truth that is in Christ Jesus. Amen.....deno.....please share freely.
