ONE OF MY PERSONAL TESTIMONIES.....To God Be The Glory.
       Years ago I was personally going thru one of the most heaviest trials of my souls life. Oppression and severe depression had come upon me and I did not know why or how, nor the how come. As a kid for years I was RICH IN JOY and GLADNESS of heart and soul. But at the age of around 18 after being baptized in the Holy Ghost in my car and given a strange to me VISION OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST being carried on earth by what looked like an innumerable amount of people and told that one day in my latter years I would preach the gospel, all the tremendous sweet that I used to take for granted and used to take off and run on was turned into the sours of extreme bitter. My soul entered the first stages of refinements of many to come for even decades and I entered enemy attacks that I was so in the dark about. My soul was vexed and in a tie that binds.
        This gloomy unyielding depression had been on me for what seemed forever. and day unto days my eyes rained as over and over again i cried out to God in my upper teen complaints. Friends precious light can be in the spirit but the soul where the mind resides can still be in the dark about many many spiritual things in UNDERSTANDING. The mind is the battle ground.
        After tasting so much of this yuk in the soul, I was driving one day back from Alexandria La. I was down in my soul with this ugly dark depression that while driving down that long stretch of highway I began to voice my cry and my pain to God. God I cried. Why God ? Why am I so depressed? Why is my soul so down and gloomy? What did I do for this to lay itself holt on to me? God please I need you. I don't understand.
         God I continued to cry. Do you know what I'm going thru and how terrible this is? Do you know my affliction? I don't understand God. Why Why Why balling like a baby. Friends severe depression is a merciless grievance. Then I said, Lord if you know my pain. If you know what I'm going thru? If there is a reason and a purpose for all this then I ask....now I did not know at that time why I asked for this specific song then,  but it is what came out my mouth....I said, THEN LET THE NEXT SONG ON THIS RADIO STATION THAT I'M LISTENING TO BE THE SONG..ready?....the song was "REUNITED".....
        Well God as my witness and as surely as Jesus is seated at the right hand of God in the throne of His Glory...as i waited for the song that i was listening to to end so that the next one could come on, I listened with hope extended toward God as my eyes were raining....Church and friends, God as my witness the very next song was the song....REUNITED.
        This song (REUNITED), even though it is mostly secular has a special place in my heart with Jesus....This event happened in the latter 70s....The other day I walked in a convenient store and this song was playing....My heart melted and I went to tears...It is a  Jesus and deno personal song...hope it becomes yours..Reunited and it feels so good....deno.
       Well my deliverance did come but not that day. But the Lord did wink at me that day and made a permanent mark of his grace that years later I would give testimony to. God Bless You.
        P.S. Jesus said to  me audibly 3 words that eventually, once I learned the real spiritual importance of those words and obeying those words I was totally set free from all that depression. Those 3 words were, WATCH YOUR TONGUE...Jesus said those 3 words to me with a shout. Then about 3 years later in England, the Lord connected me with the teaching ministry of a strong in faith  and wisdom man of God whose light set me free. I had walked for almost 3 years in that gloom wondering what WATCH YOUR TONGUE meant....deno is a simple boy.
       Then one day in England as I was sneaking a look  in the door windows of a church service going on watching a black congregation rejoicing in the Lord, with tears flowing down my eyes as I cried to God, Lord why can't I have the joy these are having. I had it as a child and in my teens. Lord why. Right then with tears coming down my eyes a tall man about 20 entered the chapel and asked me, How I was. He saw the tears. He handed me a teaching tape. He said the Lord told him to give  me that tape and that I was supposed to really listen to it until I understood its message importance.
        Friends by this time in my life my soul was starving...That young man handed me that tape and I looked at it. The title of its message was.....THE POWER OF THE TONGUE by Kenneth Copeland.. This was in 1981. Friends the bread of life and of grace that is in that tape the whole world should listen to and heed. It set me free. WATCH YOUR TONGUE Jesus had shouted at me audibly. Almost 3 years later thru Kenneth I learned why. Life and death are in the power of the TONGUE and they that love life , so that they shall enjoy good days, they will watch what they say out their mouths.....REUNITED...What a Word that means so much.....deno.....share freely.

The Importance of the Name of Jesus to Us Who Believe........deno......share freely.

         Even the most righteous Christians who are really good and faithful servants of the Lord, when they pray unto God the Father, they still must pray in Jesus Name believing and depending on the perfect flawless record of his unblemished righteousness for God to hear and respond to their cry. No where in the scriptures of the New Covenant can we find where it says to us to cast out devils using our own names, to lay hands on the sick and heal the sick in our own names and by our own record of righteousness do those things. Nor do we find it said anywhere in the new covenant scriptures for us to pray and approach God in and by the righteous record of our own name. All approachment  to God must be done thru faith in Jesus Christ blood and Name. That is strict New Covenant light and law that contains no add ons. Jesus said, IN MY NAME...IN MY NAME....IN MY NAME.
         Paul preached to all the churches of his day that in all we say and do, (which includes praying) do all in the Name of Jesus Christ and he understood the manifold reasons why. He knew none, no not even one of us including himself with his Sizzling Hot for God passion were not worthy to approach the holiest of all outside of Christ Blood and Name. But he also knew this and preached this as well. He preached that thru faith in Christ blood and thru faith in His Great Name we all have BOLDNESS and ACCESS WITH CONFIDENCE UNTO THE THRONE OF GOD AND GRACE to obtain promises and help in our times of need.
        Think about this. Come upon a real demon inside a person situation and try to cast the demon out in your own name. Do you really think that you will get anywhere in that situation? That devil want listen to you or obey you. That devil will laugh and snarl and growl at your powerless name and word you his way and we just might get Exorcist 4,5 & 6 movie episodes out of it based on a true story......And he may even strip your cloths off like those demons did to those 7 sons in the book of Acts, saying at you, In your own name, Your Joking Right?
      Those devils fear no one but God and Jesus Christ. I think your mature enough to handle this revelation and to be let in on an open known secret that warring saints need to see in the scriptures and know. Study the scriptures about those devils and demons and their approach to Jesus when he was on earth. Jesus had the Spirit of God without measure upon him but that alone by itself did not  automatically scare off the devil or keep the devil away. Jesus had to RESIST HIM just like we do.
      The bible reveals to us that it was AFTER Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit that the devil came to him, NOT BEFORE. It also says that they devil tempted him.  Here Jesus has been given the Spirit of the Lord without measure and we find that that in itself did not run the devil off or keep him away. We read other wise. We read that the devil came to Jesus and TOOK Jesus to a hing mountain and to the highest part of the temple. (TOOK HIM-TOOK HIM -TOOK HIM and tested him---go read it...(Luke 4:5-13 ).
      We also find in other places of Jesus dealing with demonic confrontation that evil spirits inside people, they ran AT JESUS not away from him, fussing and foaming and trying to get him to leave them alone and they tried to strike a deal. They ran at Jesus screaming at him saying LEAVE US ALONE, if not then PERMIT us to do this or PERMIT us to do that. Well whistling Dixie, what do you suppose they would do to you standing there contesting them in your own strength, in your own flaw filled self righteousness, and in your own human name before them? Its called seeking whom He may devour that is what they would do. We NEED CHRIST.
        We all need top to bottom, side to side, inside and out Christ Christ Christ and His Name which is above every name. Only His Name gets the ear and the attention of God and only his name the demons are enforced to obey. It is established Law in the spirit world.
        Well God will not let us side step Jesus' Name either or swap his name out for another who toots his own horn saying or claiming that he is somebody great or super man in self righteousness. God is sworn to honor, exalt and to glorify again and again the Name of His Son our Savior and our Maker Jesus Christ. He alone is worthy and when we use and believe on Jesus' Name, we are standing in that names perfect righteousness, glory, exaltation, power, honor, and worthiness. (See Ephesians 1:16-23 & Philippians 2:5-11).....scroll down.

         Knowing now these needful truths,  only the hard headed stubborn person, deaf, dumb and blind would want to go against the powers of the devil or approach the Living God in his own strength and not in the Name above all Names Jesus Christ. We Need Jesus as our All in All in all things on earth in this life and in all things in heaven, for all power and all authority in all of heaven and on earth has been given unto Jesus and is placed in HIS NAME that is endowed with Gods full authority and power which is ABOVE EVERY NAME both in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18-20)...So let us do all that we say and do in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST...Jesus Is Lord.......deno....share freely.

His Word Is Burning In Our Bones and Refining Our Hearts......deno......share freely.

Deno Smith originally shared:

     

He said...His Word would burn like fire the hearts of His beloved to purify and to cleanse, to make right and to mend.

       Sin by believers robs them of their faiths confidence. When a believer is persistent to sin, the only area their faith will work in is, If we confess our sins unto the Lord we receive the promise of His faithfulness to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
       Believers that practice sin never bloom to the full fruit of the sweetest fellowship with Jesus. They live in a Quenching the Spirit of God fellowship state. The sin they keep practicing grieves the Spirit of God. The sin they keep practicing (being not laid aside) besets them and weighs them down. The double minded James wrote (James 1:5-8) are off track and out of the receiving position, and the lukewarm John wrote are in the position of being spewed out of the mouth of God. God does not answer the prayers of those whose love for Him taste so terrible in His mouth that He wants to spew them out. (Rev 3:14-16). Would you eat such bad tasting fruit?
       Before either wavering believer mentioned above can get back to receive from God they must get it right with God, stop the sin that so easily is robbing and besetting them so that when they pray their hearts are not condemning them. (Read 1 John 3:18-24).
       God is crying out to us all saying, Children its time. It is time to get it real. I'm looking  for the HOT, for the hearts that are a blazed with pure Zeal for their God and Savior. For these are the days when My People must be in the position of receiving from God. That position is all about where their heart is and what their hearts are Hot about. The lukewarm and the double minded are unstable, walking drunk and in derision.
       The out pourings of Gods love, grace, favors, provisions, and blessings are poured out and raining down from heaven and have been doing so since the OUTPOURING OF CHRIST. But the lukewarm and the double minded, their sins have them so off base and confused and drunk, they walk around with their CUPS UPSIDE DOWN. Though in God and in Christ they live and move and have their being, their lukewarm double minded sin practicing behaviors makes them NUMB TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
       Jesus our Lord, Savior, Master and Light was never numb to the Spirit and Presence of the Father. He even said to his disciple, You and the world may leave me, but My Father will not leave me. FOR I OBEY MY FATHER, I KEEP HIS COMMANDS AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT.......scroll down.

       Lord help us all to get it right in thy sight in all the will of God and become established in all that You delight in in Jesus Name. Amen.....deno....share freely.

Simple Words That Made An Atheist Rethink His Stand......deno.....share freely.

     

       Atheist scientist say, The Universe is just to big and to great to come from a powerful eternal God....Then in the class room they turn right around and give this answer for how it all began...They say the mighty power of something called NOTHING did it all. Nothing which has no yesterday, no today, nor a tomorrow BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST made everything that now is and was yesterday and shall be tomorrow. Well how logical is that? Yet such insight and wisdom astounds the intellectuals of our day. Yes and Amen cries the intellectual Atheist. Baloney says those that know their God.
      In the beginning God created all things thru HIS ETERNAL POWER AND ENERGIES which no man can measure, he can only ponder and wonder at the Glory of the Power of He that is called Almighty. I don't know about you but I BOW MY KNEES.
      We haven't even the science nor the technology to define what a Spirit is or what a Spirit is made of. It is like a foreign substance and like an alien world to us. A world beyond our natural physical driven wit yet so incredible in its eternal glory. That is why only those that have Gods Spirit in them can know him and understand the Lord and spiritual things and substances. Yet even with that, with the present grace, we still look and understand as seeing thru a smoked colored stained glass window. But when we have shed this life, thru Jesus Christ we shall ascend into that glorious world of Jesus and His Father and see things face to face with given us beautiful clarity....scroll down.

      Jesus thru the ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT of GOD demonstrated measures of Gods Spirits Love, Glory and Wonder thru the many miracles of healings and provisions whose legacy of revealing God to us astounds the world to this today..In awe of HIS WONDER I still bow my knees to our Risen King and Savior....JESUS IS LORD.....deno.....share freely.

A Wise Man Once Said.....deno......share freely.

             The Pen from my fathers  pulpit. Ladies I am not picking on you. But I have to write the light given me. I write this in love for Jesus and for you..deno....Let the words speak for themselves if they be of God or just man. We all (just like wondering Solomon did,) we live and learn. We learn even by our sins and mistakes. I pray we all learn what God is wanting us to learn in this bread to the repentance light. Writer included.
       A wise man that I love once said, The way the woman goes morally so follows the man. We see this truth in the garden of Eden. Eve was hissed at by the Serpent. She was lured over to that which was forbidden by God. With the serpents subtle twist on the truth, sin suddenly look pleasurable and a thing to be desire. Eve gave in to temptation. Then after falling from her glory as the holy mother of the offspring of God to come, Eve took Satans place in the temptation and she herself tempted Adam. FROM THIS COMES THE OLD SAYING, "the way women go morally so follows the men, the children, and the course of the nation". That is why Satan works overtime everyday hissing at women from movies, thru songs, thru self exaltations, thru TV shows, thru suggestions, thru phone calls, internet etc. to bring the women of the family and of the nation into immoral captivity and into unbridled lust behavior. He knows well from the Eve Event that if he can get to woman morally, to cross the Gods established holy lines, she will wonder off to bring down the men for he knows God put it in man to desire her. She is the top choice of Satan to bring men, men of even honor and of God down. 
      Adam friends, was holier than us all. He was sinless and he fell by the pull of the woman he so desired. Don't think yourself unable to fall superman, for God reads the heart of us all. Even its every thought and imagination. Let us then HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE THE SACRIFICE.
      When the mothers and the women of the nation are moral women, the nation is supplied with precious SALT. But when the mothers and women lose their morals, cross over the holy lines that God drew and become immoral, that wondering spirit that is in them invades and effects their children. Eventually that spirit will come to fuller fruit and those children male and female will end up waking up and going to bed always looking for their sin fix as their immoral mothers do.
      The mothers role is moral Salt. If she looses her SALT, she is so far out of place in Gods role distributions. When the salt is lost, precious preserving power is lost and great place is given to marching evil spirits. These spirits do not march for the glory of light either. They come to lie, cheat, steal, kill, to corrupt, defile, make unclean, make perverse, and to turn the true light off so that they can execute their lust in darkness where they feel comfortable in their sin and in their deeds of evil. When sin is abounding in the land it is because light has been placed under a bushel, compromised, or dimmed. Salt has lost is seasoning.
       If you want to measure the nearness of extreme judgements, the morals of the mothers and of the women of a nation is a sure guide. And with that said we say this, Woe to men who become so demonized to take the role of women and to women who take up the roles of men in the holy union of they two shall become one flesh, this is the final straw. They have wondered so far away from God in their minds and in their reasonings. They have no real holy discernment anymore. This behavior God will not tolerate long for it gravely effects the moral discernments of the children to come. As it is fore written, It grieved God what men and women had become in Noah's day. God saw that their ideas, reasonings, their imaginations and convictions was set on sin and on evil continuously. A few days later, God rained down His Judgement and His Sentence upon them.....deno......share freely.
