The God Of Our Childhood.....It Is Time......deno

Lately I keep seeing my preaching dad preaching and preaching even all the way back to our childhood. It is like coming to me in a flood of memories. What a wonderful dad we were so fortunate to have had father us and raise us. I wish all of you could have know this so honest, honorable, love filled heart and man that he was. All his life he lived to shine Jesus and his love and gospel to all he met and to help and help and help others....and next to him was our precious mom who kept him in check with her high moral strengths as she was so raised.....We were so blessed. Strange now that I'm getting on up in my years and coming back more and more to the God of my childhood, I hear their voice intensifying and what they so tried to instill in us like never before. Could it be the urgency of the times? Could it be that they are saying Danny, Deno, Angie and Mel, Grandchildren and In Laws, remember your upbringing and the God of your childhood. Follow Him above all your yesterdays. It is time....deno.

The Staff of Moses......deno.....please share freely

   The bible teaches us that in the old testament we see the type and shadows of the true, of the mysteries of Christ. That we see the images of Christ that was to come in all their light and glory. In this light Moses and his mighty calling and ministry represented Christ greatly. Here is some of that representation. Christ was the staff of Moses which was to Moses the Power of God unto Israels salvation and freedom. Jesus and his cross the bible tells us is the Power of God unto salvation and to freedom. It must be trusted in , believed on, and relied upon for it's power to work for us just as the staff did for Moses and the children of Israel. Moses, God said, Lift up your staff.....Jesus said, If I be lifted up.....get the connection????
    Christ was also the serpent that Moses' staff became and was turned into....Let's make the connection here...and the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Christ was Gods serpent that swallowed Pharaohs witches serpents up. This was Christ swallowing up all the power that sin and Satan used to oppose us and used to try to keep us down, keep us from heaven, keep us from salvation, and in bondage..But thank God THOSE to whom the Son (The Judge) has set free ARE FREE INDEED..... Saved and Free In Christ Jesus, that is our family redemption Common Name..... Be Blessed......deno.

The Most Good Died For The Most Bad. This My Friend Is Isaiah The Prophets GOOD REPORT.....deno.....please share freely

      Let's think about this....The greatest good, the greatest gift, and the GREATEST THING THAT GOD could ever give or do for anyone, HE DID and He did so for the most worst of people. Think about it. He that is the MOST GOOD laid down His life for the MOST BAD. That doesn't make natural sense. That's love beyond human logic or reasoning (Ephesians 3:14-21). So we conclude that the greatest good God could ever do, God did, for the greatest bad. Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:5-10) that's the GOOD NEWS, THE GOOD REPORT spoke of by the prophet Isaiah 53:1. Christ died for the most evil. Christ died to even save and bless his enemies with His Fathers impartial goodness. Christ was not given by God for the goody two shoes (Such did not exist in Gods eye and book), Christ was given for a world full of the chiefest of sinners, even for the worst of the worse ....... 
        The thief on the Cross next to Jesus that asked Jesus to save him that hour, was and is today SO GLAD that these words are SO TRUE AND AMEN WITH GOD. Having done wrong after wrong, and sin after sin and having no other hope or place to go, (being very down on his luck that day and hour), he turned to the God who is RICH IN MERCY (Ephesians 2:4) and said "Lord, will you remember- even me- when you come into your glory? He asked God himself in a face to face mode that mighty question and God Himself answered. Jesus responded to his repentant heart of last minute faith and swore a personal oath to him, to one of the worlds chiefest of sinners, "THIS DAY you will be with me in Paradise"........
       Friend are you down on your luck? Are you at your wits end? Are you like pinned to a cross of punishment because of your wrongs and your awful ungodly ways and even terrible crimes and embarrassing sins? There is GOOD NEWS EVEN FOR YOU. God said, God Swore that He would be RICH IN MERCY to all who in repentant faith would call upon HIS NAME.....Jesus is the Lords Name....Romans 10:12-13)........
        The story of the thief on the cross that made it into heaven was the story of the combination of  repentance mixed with faith. He confessed he deserved his punishment for his sins and crimes, but he still in all that notable guilt and shame, he reached out IN FAITH to THE ONE he himself called Lord, and God answered his faith with EVERLASTING LOVE AND ETERNAL SALVATION. Because of his faith in Christ God gave him heaven any way, a thing and a place that he by his life style on earth DID NOT DESERVE but God gave it to him for his faith in Christ which God accounted to him as his righteousness TO ENTER . That my friend is grace. That my friend is the gift of God wrought by the effectual intercession workings of Christ redeeming power.  Friend That is my God. My Savior. My Lord. My Redeemer......Learning to lean on him more and more....deno...how about you?.....please share freely.

How To Bring Down The Greatest Nation On Earth......deno....please share freely

    How to bring down the greatest nation on earth? Cut back on her military. Cause low moral in the 4 military branches. Send her weapons to other nations. Make her mostly dependent on foreign oil and money. Strip down her economic strength by burying her in debt and take down her factories and send her jobs to other nations. Take her tax revenue and give it to foreigners and to aid foreign nations. Create major government dependency on half its people. Send billions and billions and billions over seas to other nations and yet cut back on funding American jobs, government jobs. Cut military raises. Cut civil service emp. raises. Divide her citizens. Denounce patriotism. Burn the flag. Don't show respect to the national anthem. Do all you can do to divide the kingdom against itself, by all subtle means possible. Remove faith in God and promote unrighteousness....Sounds very familiar doesn't it?....The grass whithers and the earths most beautiful flowers fade away, but those who believe and obey Gods Word will live forever in His glory. Set your love and affections on things above, where Jesus sits at Gods right hand. Let us ALL remember this world shall pass away  including it's  present nations, but they that believe and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ shall God spare and glorify with Jesus.....deno

 

For money and silver a man betrayed the Son of God and turned him over to his enemies. Today for silver and gold and money, ELECTED MEN and business men who are lovers of money more than lovers of God and America are betraying  America and they have been handing us and our strengths over to our enemies. America please RETURN TO LOVING GOD AND  COUNTRY.

WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM COME........deno....please share freely

.....Friend I cannot put myself in peoples shoes like my dad who loved and lived so honorably and righteously in Christ love and pastored and  preached for over 50 years before going to glory. Nor am I worthy to unloose the sandals of our pastors and elders of the great assembly today. To me I'm amongst the least of all the saints for so many reasons. But I found out that even those of us that see themselves as one like I have been can read this word from the Lord, mix our hearts faith with it's loving, inviting words from God and even we, in the row of the chiefest of sinners can return to God and rejoice in it's richness of mercy. It is this one, Jesus said, Whosoever will let him come, yes let him come and drink from the Waters of life freely (meaning at NO CHARGE to them).  Sinner or saint you are a WHOSOEVER.  Rich or Poor you are a WHOSOEVER.
     Jesus paid the price for all to come unto the table of His Bread. He paid the full price for us to come and sit down with EVEN HIM in heavenly places of His grace and glory given to men in the Spirit to eat and drink the full course meals that His blood paid for all to eat and drink and enjoy IN FAITH, for whatsoever is not of faith is sin  (Romans 14:23). 
      So the word WHOSOEVER here that Jesus used in the invite means exactly that. Sinner or Saint, greatest or the least, the good or the bad, Christ has called all and invited all to the table of his bread of grace and truth THE GOSPEL OF GOD and their worthiness is Christ himself and the fact that God himself authored and gave to all this non partisan invite. He said WHOSOEVER will let him come and drink from the waters of life freely. 
     Others may gripe and grumble at this non partisan invite but that matters not. They may cry and throw fits in self righteousness that God lets this rain of His goodness and grace  to fall upon the good and the bad, but IT IS THE VERY WILL AND WORD OF THE LORD. They may be bitter and angry that Jesus sits at the table of even the chiefest of sinners in their eyes and sup with them and feed them himself His Bread and His Living Water, but let us all REMEMBER that He alone is God and the Judge of all  men. When the judge has set you free you are FREE INDEED. When the highest of all has said WHOSOEVER will let him come and drink from the Waters of Life freely, it matters not what the proud or the religious envious say or don't say. Come unto the Lord one and all for all He has called and invited to the tables of His grace of the abundantly pardoned....

Revelations 22:17) And the Spirit and the bride (The Church) in loves agreement)  say Come. And let him that hears say Come, And let him that is thirsty Come. And WHOSOEVER  will let them take the water of life freely.

Isaiah 55:6,7) Seek the Lord while He can be found, call upon Him while He is near. 7) Let the wicked forsake his wicked ways, and the unrighteousness man his evil thoughts, AND LET HIM RETURN UNTO THE LORD, and God will have great mercy upon him, and let us RETURN unto our God for He will ABUNDANTLY PARDON.....

The Wheat Gathered Into The Barn.......deno

.....many preach often and their minds dwell upon the wrath of God. Such light has it's place but Paul said we as Christians should think on things that are lovely and of good report and that are honorable. He said we should set our hearts love, attention and affections on things above, not on things about hell below. Jesus himself taught Paul that we, as Gods children in Christ, have been called unto peace with God and that we have been delivered from the wrath to come and that God has not appointed us unto wrath but unto salvation by Jesus Christ. He came and preached peace to those who were near and to those who were far away. Jesus was the peace offering for our everyday and eternal peace with God....Yea but deno, John the baptist said that God will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Yes he did preach that. My response, In Christ we are not the chaff. We are the children of the GOOD NEWS. We are the wheat gathered into his barn. Preach that. Don't be the chaff. Very unwise to do so. Trust, serve, obey, and cleave to Christ........deno....please share freely

While God Was On Earth......deno.

      While on earth God picked up children into His arms. While on earth God, even having the Holy Spirit of God without measure, He put His arms around people and hugged them tightly. He hung out with and hugged SINFUL PEOPLE (You should really think about that one. That happened often. So much is said in that). While on earth God bowed down His knees and washed His children's feet. While on earth God sat down with known sinners and talked with them over a meal. While on earth God turned water into wine to keep the party going and the wedding celebration. God likes good celebrations. While on earth God road on the back of a donkey. While on earth God exalted man above the Sabbath, saying the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. This saying disturbed a lot of religious people.While on earth God cried and shed tears. While on earth God laughed and rejoiced with people. While on earth God spent His days loving, blessing, and serving others. While on earth God daily took up His cross and preferred others every day before himself, serving them gladly, IMAGINE THAT. It Happened. While on earth God fed the hungry. While on earth God visited the sick and healed them. While on earth God preached the gospel to the poor. While on earth God taught the multitudes His good news. While on earth God went about doing His good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. While on earth God had face to face, one on one conversations with men and women.....
      While on earth God with the Holy Spirit without measure stretched forth His hands and touched the unclean leper and healed them perfectly. Since He God with His Holy Pure Spirit can touch the unclean and heal them, He can fellowship with anyone who invites Him in. If you are willing the unclean leper said to Jesus. You can make me clean. Jesus said to him. I AM WILLING, BE CLEAN. The Holy Spirit himself touched the unclean man and made him whole. No matter how dirty or unclean you think you are, God is so willing to touch even you and make you clean with His blood, Words and Spirit.
      He Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us come boldly unto the Throne of the One who loved us and gave himself every day for us. Let us come unto Him washed in His blood and full of the light of His great love for us. Let us come unto the Lord in the full assurance of faith and in confidence. Let us let Jesus hug us every day (HELLO). He surely desires to (Thy love will be done on earth even at it is in heaven is scriptural). He wants to bless your day with His work. His work is always blessed. He wants to bless your travels and your fishing trip. He wants to supply all your needs. Trust Him. Love Him. Believe in the love He has for you. Obey Him. Do His will and you will find the life and the joy your soul thirst for. Trust and obey. For there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey........deno.....please share freely
