The bible reveals that before the foundation of the world in the incredible foreknowledge of God according to the free will choice of man, God knowing what He would do IF ADAM WITH HIS OWN TOTALLY INDEPENDENT FREE WILL CHOSE THE PATH OF DISOBEDIENCE, God would, in His great love for man, He would send Jesus His Son into the world to redeem and reconcile man Back unto Himself. From this light comes the scripture concerning Jesus, You were known slain from the foundation of the world. After Adam under strong temptation chose the path of disobedience we see that God in love with His man moved into action into His plan to redeem man and reconcile Us back unto Himself. He moved into His recovery of the sight of the blinded, to save even to the uttermost that which was lost. In Genesis 3:15 we get the first glimpse into the mystery of Christ. God said to Satan that old dragon/dinosaur the Serpent, I will put friction/enmity/hatred between your seed offspring and the womans seed,offspring (Christ from the miracle conception). You will strike him at the heel, but He will crush your head. All the above that I wrote we did so to simply say this. From Genesis 3:15 to Noah, to Abraham, to Issac, to Moses and all the Law of the old covenant with all the writings of the prophets. ALL OF THEM, ALL OF THE LAWS COMMANDMENT'S CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES WITH ALL THEIR MULTIPLE BLOOD SHEDDING SACRIFICES INCLUDING THE PASSOVER LAMB and ALL THEIR WRITINGS were all together the SHADOWS of Jesus Christ. They were all the SHADOWS cast by Jesus our Lord as He was walking and making His way thru-out the ages to the day of the blood of His Cross IN THE ULTIMATE GREAT SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF for the putting away of sin and it's authority over the world. The Law and everything therein was all together the shadow of Jesus the Son of God as he was walking and making His way to the Cross. THAT LIGHT IS SO IMPORTANT. SO WHY ARE YOU WALKING STILL IN THE SHADOW OF CHRIST when NOW WE CAN WALK IN HIM AND HE IN US THRU THE SPIRIT IN SPIRIT MIX GIVEN US IN THE NEW COVENANT ESTABLISHED UPON FAR GREATER RELATIONSHIP & BLESSING PROMISES ? PROMISES FAR GREATER THAN THOSE THAT WERE WRITTEN IN THE SHADOW. THE SHADOW CAN NEVER BE GREATER THAN THE ONE WHO CAST THE SHADOW. Would you rather be married to the SHADOW of the one you love or to their Spirit and body-TO THE REAL THEM. Personally I want the real deal. I want Christ and more of Him daily. GRACE GRACE GRACE provides it. The Law with all it's blood sacrifices was the Lords Shadow. Grace brings us into the realities of God in Christ into us and us into Him. The Law which was the shadow of Christ came to us by Moses, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH which was THE REAL DEAL came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17-18) (Read John 17 entire chapter. None of us can hug the shadow of a man or woman. None of us can enjoy a true fellowship with just the shadow of a person. None of us can have a real conversation and love relationship with just a shadow. We need to lay holt on the one who is casting the Shadow for our cravings to be really satisfied. Look unto Jesus Christ. His is what all the Law and the old covenant was the shadow of. Turn to the Word that became flesh. Turn to Jesus Christ who became flesh and dwelt amongst us. In Jesus is and dwells all the Godhead bodily realities. Why remain only in the shadow when you can have the Son of God in you Himself in a Lord in servant Father in son beautiful relationship fellowship right now on earth and for all eternity?....Amen. P.S. The Law brought us all to the Cross of Christ. I have been crucified with Christ Paul wrote. The Cross of Christ brings us to the sacred holy place behind the before forbidden veil wherein we all by faith in Christ blood come unto God and God baptizes us with the Spirit of the Holiest of all. The one that the high priest feared behind that veil as he entered has now commanded you and I thru faith in His Sons blood to come boldly into His presence, unto the throne of Grace knowing and believing in the love He has for us in Christ.

You know the flood in Noahs day was an all out whipping from the Lord....Sometimes I think these kinds are His tiny spanks here and there but they are to remind us and make us think of judgments pending....Its suppose to cause us to consider our ways, ask for forgiveness and repent if we need to. But even this those on the left will mock and laugh and scoff at. They will say, We've heard it all before. Well so has God when the people laughed, mocked and scoffed at Noah until it was to late. Jesus said the troubles that shall come upon the world in the last of the last days will be just to great for men to fix and repair. It will get massive and so bad Jesus said, that had He not shortened those days, no flesh would have survived them. Let us be aware and prepared as His people whose affections are set on things above. Live soberly in your thoughts and in your thinking. Enjoy life. Enjoy the Lord. Walk with God and serve the Lord with gladness loving one another in Jesus Name and let us do so excited for the coming of the Lord is getting closer......

Are you feeling blue about your sins? GOOD NEWS TIME... Hebrews 1:1-3....21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed Heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, SAT DOWN at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:1-3 tells us that AFTER Jesus had by himself (he is the only one that can do this), after Jesus had by himself purged our sin, HE SAT DOWN at the right hand of God. This means he cleansed us completely, NO STAIN REMAINS. This means Jesus set us free from those sins, WE ARE NO LONGER CHAIN LINKED TO THEM as to be brought into condemnation by them. This means he had mercy on our unrighteousness and our sin and iniquity he forgets and remembers them no more just as God promised us He would, GOD CANNOT LIE. This means he entered into peace about them. So why are you letting the sins that you have been purged from still haunt you and keep you up tossing at night? Love Himself (God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to purge and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Believe in the love God has for you. Trust in Jesus for if Jesus the Judge is the one that set you free and sat down about them, don't you know that you are FREE INDEED and can sit down about them to? That means, with Jesus we can enter into rest about them as he did. Time to forget those sins and press on....Truly Love (Gods Love) hides the multitude of sins.......Grace has things for you to do......PRESS......deno.
TELL YOUR MOM YOU LOVE HER AGAIN......My Mothers Day Testimony. To our Mother who is now in Heaven. Love you Mom. Miss You every day. Thinking of you all the time. Went by the old house the other day and saw you in my mind riding the lawn mower and i remembered.... Mom, Thank you for the precious love you showed us, the strength of your honor and honesty. Thank you for your gentle touch and for all those kisses when we were kids. Thank you for taking us to church all those Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings and Wednesdays. Thank you for all the meals. You were the best cook ever. Thank you for all those loads of laundry you washed that I forgot to tell you thanks for. Thank you for changing Danny's diaper so much when we were kids. He about killed us all. Thank you for the warmth of your love hugs and embrace and for helping us thru all those moves that we went thru over the years in the military and for all you did. Mom so many times I wanted to see you again to say by and to say thank you. But I will never forget the night before you left us when I heard the Lord audibly speak to me. We had spent that evening together for Austins birthday party at granma's. It was when me and the kids were leaving your house it happened. I had gathered the kids and took them to the Van. Then I looked at you looking at me from the garage opening and I said, Well Mom, guess we will see you later and you said ok baby as you strangely stared back at me. After that I began to walk to the other side of the Van, and when I was passing the front of the van, I somehow walked into a gentle invisible cloud that was so soft and gentle and it stopped me. Then, having gotten my attention, the Lord said audibly, TELL YOUR MOM YOU LOVE HER AGAIN. I heard those words. I heard them as clear as any human to human conversation. And I said back to Him, Lord I just told her I loved her in the house. Why do you want me to tell her that I love her again? I heard no reply, silence. So Mom, remember how I shouted, Hey Mom. By this time you had started walking back toward the kitchen door from the garage. You replied, Yes Dennis....I said, Mom you know i love you. You said, I love you to Dennis. ........Well I drove home wondering why the Lord went out of his way and spoke to me audibly that night to say to my Mom, Tell your mom you love her again.....Friends, Our mom went to heaven the next morning.....Those words were my last words on earth to our precious mother and her last words to me on earth....Just wanted to share this with you....PLEASE .....TELL YOUR MOM YOU LOVE HER AGAIN.....Deno......share freely.
Just want to testify about this. To God Be The Glory......deno......Hope it blesses you. A few weeks ago it came to me to give away one of my bikes. I have a 10 speed that I ride up and down the hills on. And I have another 10 speed that I never ride much and i thought to give it to someone. Giving it to a child that i do not know came to mind. So I prayed about it and asked the Lord to connect me to someone that this bike would be a blessing to. This bike i hardly ever road. It was like brand new in perfect shape... Well the other day I was biking. I was on my way back to the house coming down a certain road of which I saw a young black kid around 10 years old riding on a bike half his size down the road in front of me. I felt something special about this kid so I stopped and said. Hey how are you to the kid? He said fine. He had radar glasses on. He was one of those kids that looked twice as smart as me even though he was 1/5th my age lol. I said, Isn't that bike your riding a little small for you? He said, Yes sir it is. I asked him, well can you ride a bigger bike? He said, yes sir i can. My bike is broke so i have to ride this one. It was a really small bike for his size. Well, when he said that his bike was broke a light bulb went off inside me. To me THERE WAS MY SIGN. I said , YOUR BIKE IS BROKE? He again confirmed it. I said, Son I have been looking for a kid to give a bike to that i have at home that has hardly ever been rode. You can ride a bigger bike for sure? His eyes now got big as golf balls. He said yes sir. I said, Well son if you will wait for me right here, I will be back in about 10 minutes and I will bring that bike to you. The smile on that kid was priceless. He lit up like Christmas morning. Well 10 minutes later I was coming back on his bike. When he realized this event was for real that little lad went bananas. I cried. I was walking the long way back home and the next thing I know a car full of people pulled up next to me and I saw that kid in the back of the car. That whole family got in the car to come say thank you thank you thank you.... Friends doing things like this can put a smile on people and it glorifies our Lord.... I told that kid in front of his parents. Son Jesus loves you and He was thinking about you today. Son love Jesus and obey your mom and dad.....I told him my name was Deno. Thank you Jesus.....Amen.
