God Wants To Give Us Good Things......deno.....share freely.

Matthew 7:11....New King James Version

11....If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, HOW MUCH MORE will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

       Think about that. Our heavenly Father is FAR MORE WILLING to do us good and to give us good things more than our parents.
        How can we partake of HIS FAR MORE WILLINGNESS TO GIVE US GOOD THINGS?....Obey Him. Really Honor Him as Your Lord, Your Boss and as your Father in all you say and do. Hang around those believers with the same goal to love God, serve him, and obey and please Jesus above everything else. Hang around the fruit choking believers and your prayer life will continue to be compromised, powerless, and non effective.. Love them. Pray for them, but do not wallow around in the mud with them. GOOD THINGS did not start happening again to the prodigal son until he came back to his godly senses, and arrived back home. IMPORTANT POINT THERE.
        In your faith continue in well doing, believing in how doing so will profit you and will not hinder your asking's.
        A big problem with many of us is, we do what God says sometimes (Maybe on Sundays and other occasions, but in the in between times we are out and about doing our business and not HIS BUSINESS like Jesus was always doing. Then when we ask for something or cry out in our desperation, we wonder WHERE IS GOD?. Yet everyday He has been calling us and extending out to us the right hand of HIS FELLOWSHIP but we showed Him that we would rather watch TV, golf, fish, talk, chat, gossip, sin, go to movies, watch ball games etc etc., the list goes on....As it is written in Romans 10:21..The Lord said, Over and over again, ALL DAY LONG, I have STRETCHED out MY HAND to a disobedient people who always RESIST ME....Who always push Me Away.
         Jesus lived every day to the honor and glory of His Father and to please Him only and not to please people above him.(John 5:44 KJV & John 8:28-29). And because Jesus was always doing what His Father said and asked of Him, HE REAPED his Father doing what he asked and said of His Father. This love for his Father and obeying His Father made Christ asking and prayer life SO GLORIOUS that it SHOCKED THE WHOLE WORLD EVEN TO THIS DAY.
         Jesus told us how it works. He said in John 15:7..IF, IF, IF...IF you do as I tell you and MY Words you obey (Not part time either)..He said, then you shall ask what you desire and it will be done.
         Church, if our asking's are not happening, we may need to check out John 15:7 and see how we are matching up in our doing what Jesus tells us. The only way to keep the choking weeds out of the garden of our personal prayer life and grace is by surrender and obedience. The more we please God the more we get pleased. The more we do what He says and ask as good and faithful servants, the more God does what we ask and say of HIM. It is a reaping by sowing covenant.
         As Jesus said, God wants to do us GOOD and give us GOOD THINGS more than our earthen parents do, but we must do what is OUR PART so that He can make our CUP to RUN OVER with the GOOD THINGS He yearns to do for us....OBEYING GOD WHEN THE REST OF THE CHURCH OR THE WORLD IS GOING SIN CRAZY IS WORTH IT....
         In closing go and read Matthew 23:37-39 KJV)...We find in these words of Jesus how God wanted greatly to really bless and DO GOOD to ISRAEL but they did not let Him...They lived more for themselves and not unto God.....AMEN....deno....share freely.

        Remember the Lord told us HIS WORD WOULD BE AS A HAMMER and HIS SPIRIT AS A HOLY REFINING FIRE. It is for sure that THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE BUT THE TRUTH MUST BE ENCOUNTERED FIRST. Then secondly BELIEVED UNTO THE FRUIT OF OUR REPENTANCE UNTO GROWING OBEDIENCE.
        Being justified by faith IS EMPOWERING. It saves us and it gives us access to the infilling of the Holy Spirit who by HIS HOLY CONVICTIONS, he feeds us unto holiness growth and increase. For without holiness no man shall see God and without the fruit of repentance we are foolishly playing with the fire.
        Until your own perfection comes judge not and you will not be judged. Condemn not and you will not be condemned. Be merciful and forgive all and you shall be shown mercy and forgiveness from God. Throw no stone at another and from His Throne no stone shall be thrown at you.
        Now His Fire not mine...continue reading.
        America and the world has become more and more the land of the swapping of wives. From one bed to another, the harden heart has wrote the approval of sin in the letter of divorce..So many of us are so guilty of this in this evil and adulteress, unfaithful generation...I still hate divorce saith the Lord. My Word has not changed on this.
        By the wickedness of divorce the family unit has become UNSALTED and the children's convictions shattered into wonderment....Anything goes in the land of the UNSALTED, and do what you will is the doctrine of the perishing.
        Darkness has been exchanged for light, and wrong is now called good and good is now called evil. Now the compromising Satan is the spirit in the pulpits.
        If the Lords conviction is not in the pulpit, demons feel no pressure from the Spirit of the Lord. Why? He is either QUENCHED or He is not even there. It is the mind of man speaking and not the Mind and Spirit of the Lord. We must remember that one of the first demons Christ cast out, was out of a person was sitting right in the pews of a synagogue. That evil immoral spirit had felt no pressure or disturbance at all until the true SALT and LIGHT in Christ showed up. Then he went to squirming, convulsing, and feeling all kinds of uncomfortable.
         Those that I love I rebuke and chastise saith the Lord. Be quick therefor to repent. Ladies?....Gentlemen?....This light is to all of us who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. These words are not stones. They are end time medicine to save and to mend.
         We that are broken in heart, He will forgive us and heal us. Let us return unto the Lord who for HIS SAKE and OUR SAKE, HE WILL WASH US AND PARDON US and CLEANSE US IN HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD.
         And as our Lord and Father, He holds to the parenting right to correct us and to chastise us when He deems it necessary....For many it is necessary because of the hardness of our hearts as the children of Israel were about this same matter unto Moses.
         Our generations main problem is our ungodly selfishness. We would rather be pleased than to please God. As it is written, They shall be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. They have a look of godliness but it is without holy conviction.
        Lord have mercy on us and open our eyes to see and understand what You see we need to know and understand. Let us no longer think of ourselves one way or right, when Your Spirit sees us so wrong and blind and in need of your eye healing salve...In your mercy and love perform this prayer. Amen.....deno.....share freely.

They Threatened them saying, "Speak no more in the Name of this Jesus....The First Churches Response and Prayer Against that threat......deno.

Acts 4:18-31...Good News Translation 

18 So they called them back in and told them that under no condition were they to speak or to teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, “You yourselves judge which is right in God's sight—to obey you or to obey God. 20 For we cannot stop speaking of what we ourselves have seen and heard.” 21 So the Council warned them even more strongly and then set them free. They saw that it was impossible to punish them, because the people were all praising God for what had happened. 22 The man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.

The Believers Pray for Boldness
23 As soon as Peter and John were set free, they returned to their group and told them what the chief priests and the elders had said. 24 When the believers heard it, they all joined together in prayer to God: “Master and Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, and all that is in them! 25 By means of the Holy Spirit you spoke through our ancestor David, your servant, when he said,

‘Why were the Gentiles furious;
    why did people make their useless plots?
26 The kings of the earth prepared themselves,
    and the rulers met together
    against the Lord and his Messiah.’
27 For indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together in this city with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Jesus, your holy Servant, whom you made Messiah. 28 They gathered to do everything that you by your power and will had already decided would happen. 29 And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness. 30 Reach out your hand to heal, and grant that wonders and miracles may be performed through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.

An Atheist Remark about God......deno.....share freely.

Yula Flournoy ....Kathy Towns remarks..... if nothing is too hard for god, can you ask him to stop starving kids. Because that's really not nice.

Deno Smith to Yula.
      God gave us the power, the plenty, and the ability to raise the children, to nourish and to cherish them. It is not God or His heart that is the problem. He gave us all as His gift (THE PLANET) with all its vast resources, and God gave us all our children to love, care for, nourish and to raise. He gave us the know how and the plenty to feed all and to take care of all. It is our evil hearts of greed and selfishness that is starving the children and withholding from them, Not God.
     We should judge ourselves in this matter, NOT GOD. He did His part. He gave us the planet, the plenty, and the power over it all and the ability to till it. Instead of exercising our passions on blaming God for the children starving and trying to say that He is some sort of an evil monster, if we have the power to feed the poor and we do, and if it is in our ability to do so but we don't, WHO THEN IS THE REAL MONSTER?... WE THEN ARE THE EVIL MONSTERS, not the Lord our Redeemer who loved us and gave himself for us.. So I ask you, who is the evil one, God or us ?

Hosea's Plea for Israel. Our Plea for the Church.....deno...

HOSEA PLEAS FOR ISRAEL.

Hosea 14:1-8 GNT

Hosea's Plea to Israel
14 Return to the Lord your God, people of Israel. Your sin has made you stumble and fall. 2 Return to the Lord, and let this prayer be your offering to him: “Forgive all our sins and accept our prayer, and we will praise you as we have promised. 3 Assyria can never save us, and war horses cannot protect us. We will never again say to our idols that they are our God. O Lord, you show mercy to those who have no one else to turn to.”

The Lord Promises New Life for Israel
4 The Lord says,

“I will bring my people back to me.
I will love them with all my heart;
    no longer am I angry with them.
5 I will be to the people of Israel
    like rain in a dry land.
They will blossom like flowers;
    they will be firmly rooted
    like the trees of Lebanon.
6 They will be alive with new growth,
    and beautiful like olive trees.
They will be fragrant
    like the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Once again they will live under my protection.
They will grow crops of grain
    and be fruitful like a vineyard.
    They will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
8 The people of Israel will have nothing more to do with idols;
    I will answer their prayers and take care of them.
Like an evergreen tree I will shelter them. I am the source of all their blessings.”

Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus and GODS RECORD KEEPING....deno.

 John 8:13-14 

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of yourself; thy record is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know where I came down from, and where I am going back to; but you cannot tell where I came from and the place where I shall return unto.

.......Jesus bore witness of himself, of his life, and he bore witness to the fact that he even came down from heaven and that God was his father. Christ whole existence in heaven before our time and beyond and his presence here on earth before these people were HIS RECORD. Concerning Christ record these that opposed him said, YOUR RECORD IS NOT TRUE. They were calling Jesus a liar, but they were the ones lying about the record of Jesus. Jesus as always, was telling the truth.
.......Do you realize that we all have a RECORD and that record bears witness to the real truth about us all? I mean every word we have ever spoken in pleasure or in pain, or in idleness or in fruitfulness are recorded on our record. Every good thing we have done and every time we sinned is recorded, and is still being recorded. Even all the secret things of our hearts and of our imaginations fill up the day to day pages of our record kept in heaven concerning us..
.......These men who were opposing Jesus were trying to lie about the RECORD of Jesus, but the true record kept on each of us every day, cannot by the lies of men be alter'ed or changed. NO WAY...Now on earth between men, people can lie about their records, cover up about their records, but not before God. God sees all and it is the absolute truth that God deals with in his dealings with every mans record. No one can con God. NO ONE. We may can fool people, but God sees all and He has the last word about all.
........But there is some GOOD NEWS. Jesus, the bible said, he went about all Judea, teaching about the Good News..Let us look into some of that Good News and into correct doctrine..
.........Paul preached that everyone of us are letters being read by all. Since our birth our own self has been the ink and the pen and our lives the pens lettering that writes our own daily record before God.
The pages are surely filled. They are filled with the good things we have said and done, and those pages are filled with all the bad words and all the sins we have done. Our record contains all those things we did in the secret places of our hearts and those we do more bodily and even in the open at times in front of others. Our records are full and kept and they contain the all about our spirit, soul and body life deeds, words spoken, and functions. Even at this moment as I write this light and as you read it, this to is being recorded.
........Knowing the truth about heavens full and complete record keeping and that it is we ourselves writing our own justification unto life in heaven or writing a record against ourselves unto condemnation, such truth should alert and alarm us all.
........Take a brief mental moment and think what you have written in your record about yourself throughout the years. You are your records own author. You and only you place all the periods at the end of each spoken word and at the end of every carried out deed you did.
.........You may be reading right now your past record and what you are reading scares you and fills you with lots of regret and shame, even embarrassment. You think to yourself and say, what am I going to do about all that. You go grab a rubber eraser and you scrub your record like crazy with all your might until you get blisters on your hands, only to find out that the eraser you applied does nothing to change what is written in your record. That ugly embarrassing part or pages you wrote still remains.
.........So in your concern you try to think religiously. You say, oh i know what to do. So in your wisdom you start going all over the place, all over your neighborhood and other cities, and in them you go about doing GOOD DEEDS to friends and to strangers. You even go feed poor people and cloth some naked children. You even go to church anew and you give alms and offerings to help others and to help the spreading of the gospel and in your wisdom after doing all those things, you say, now, NOW SURELY ALL THESE GOOD THINGS AND DEEDS I AM DOING HAS CLEARED OUT MY RECORD OF ALL THOSE SINS AND THOSE UGLY EMBARRASSING THINGS THAT WERE ON THOSE MANY PAGES OF MY PAST.
.........You run to go back and read your record again anticipating some good news. But your in shock at your finding. Your record is still the same. All those sins and embarrassing ugly things you did and said, they still stand out to condemn you and all those good deeds you found out were powerless to erase from your record the sins and all that ugly from your past.. Your now at a loss.
..........You go and sit down weeping and crying because you know nothing else to do. But little do you know, that where this has taken you, is exactly where the Lord and the blood of his Cross's wisdom and power is located to be found and is seated there in your helplessness with you, to find you. What we could do for ourselves and what we cannot do for ourselves God did in the giving of the blood of His Son.
..........Gods word says without the shedding of blood there is no removal, no erasing of sin. Without the shedding of Christ blood all sin remains. ALL OF IT...This is the Wisdom of God that God poured out for us all, only to be found in the blood of HIS SONS CROSS.
..........John wrote that we are all to be washed in the blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb of God Jesus Christ that takes away the sin of the world. His blood, Christ blood can only erase sin and is the only thing on earth that can save us from our past AND FROM ALL THAT EMBARRASSMENT.
.......... The bible says that love HIDES and COVERS and CLEANSES US OF ALL OUR SIN, but for LOVE to cleanse us of all our sins, God uses the blood of Christ to accomplish what LOVE HIMSELF wants to hide.
...........I don't know about you but how I thank God for the blood of Christ. Because of HIS BLOOD I can face tomorrow when I stand before THE KING KNOWING THE KING WAS FOR ME AND NOT AGAINST ME AND HE WASHED ME AND MY RECORD IN HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD EVERY TIME I CONFESSED MY SINS UNTO THE LORD.
..........That which the Sons blood has washed away is no longer on OUR RECORD....As it is written, I will be merciful says the Lord thy Redeemer. I will be merciful into their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities I will not remember ever again. Our Redeemer also said, Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow. Then he took the GOOD NEWS even further for our joy to be made more full. He said, I WILL SEPARATE YOU FROM YOUR SINS AND SHAME AND THAT SEPARATION SHALL BE AS FOR AS EAST IS TO THE WEST.
...........Friends those scriptures are from the GOOD NEWS that Christ blood speaks unto us. Good deeds have their place, but no good deed of ours can remove sins from our RECORD, on the BLOOD OF CHRIST HAS THAT POWER....Are you WASHED in the BLOOD of the Lamb Jesus Christ? I'm washed daily....AMEN.....deno......share freely.

Deno's Commentaries....Luke 1:2.....share freely......deno.

Luke 1:2)  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye witnesses, and ministers  OF THE WORD.

      In the beginning was THE WORD, and the WORD was WITH GOD and THE WORD was God. Everything was made and created BY THE WORD and nothing was made without THE WORD..That SAME creating, unfailing, never can fail Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and we BEHELD THE WORDS GLORY....John chapter one.
       The glory and the power of THE CREATING WORD OF GOD IS WHAT THEY SAW AND ARE TESTIFYING TO. That same WORD has a name that is above every Name and His Name Is Jesus The Christ, the Son of God.

      As Anointed and as glorious as Jesus was on earth and is, so also are THE WORDS he spoke anointed, glorious, fully alive, and full of power. They said of Christ words, His Word Was With Power. What he said or spoke, no matter how great the task that Jesus demanded of HIS WORDS, those task, those miracles happened EVERY TIME. 

       The WORDS GLORY and its unfailing POWER greatly demonstrated that had become flesh was what Luke and the other eye witnesses were testifying to. The Words love and Wisdom, the WORDS unfailing power was what drew everyone in Israel to Christ who was and is THE WORD OF GOD THAT IS ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND FILLED FULL OF GODS POWER.

      The Word had become flesh and dwelt amongst men and men saw and testified and experienced the results of the Power that was in THE WORD OF GOD. They said of Jesus THE WORD OF GOD, they said for many sought to touch him THE WORD, for power flowed from him THE WORD and as many as extracted by faith THAT POWER that was in THE WORD, they were healed. THE WORDS HEALING'S AND MIRACLES AND PROVISIONS was the glory that the eyewitnesses beheld and do testify to

       While dwelling with men The Word shined its light of life from above. THE WORD healed many and provided for multitudes, and performed incredible healing's and miracles of the providing type. Even miracles that provided for TAX PAYMENTS the word performed. These healing's and miracles and provisions wrought by THE WORD was the glory that was so attractive about Jesus, THE WORD. This was the glory they were beholding, the glory of the ANOINTED, FULLY ALIVE AND FULL OF POWER WORD OF GOD.

      The people who saw and were awed at Jesus were seeing how awing and glorious and powerful THE WORD OF GOD WAS and IS EVEN RIGHT NOW. There exist no separation of JESUS and THE WORD OF GOD. TO GOD THEY ARE THE SAME. To us Jesus and THE WORD OF GOD must be the same also for CHRIST HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WORD..

      The Word had died. The Word was crucified and THE WORD rose again from the dead to show forth even more of its GLORY, the GLORY OF THE WORD OF GOD THAT CANNOT FAIL NO MATTER WHAT COMES AGAINST IT WHETHER RESISTANCE FROM THE  DEVIL OR STORMS RISE UP AND RAGE AGAINST IT. THE WORD PROVED ITS UNFAILING GLORY AGAINST THEM ALL IN JESUS. No matter what comes against THE WORD, THE WORD OF GOD CANNOT FAIL. IT ALWAYS PREVAILS.

       Jesus is THE WORD OF GOD. That is also HIS NAME. As powerful and as alive as JESUS IS in the power of his resurrection so also is every WORD of PROMISE he spoke. The amazing things THAT THE POWERFUL ANOINTED WORD ACCOMPLISHED, those are the things THE WITNESSES and Luke and others are testifying to in their writings. THEY WERE ALL TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING WORD OF GOD THAT HAD BECOME FLESH AND SHOWED US ITS LOVE AND INCREDIBLE GLORY IN WORDS, LIGHT, WISDOM, HEALING'S, MIRACLES, IN ITS DEATH and IN ITS FULL OVERCOMING OF DEATH ITSELF IN THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION.

       No man ever had such incredible unfailing power in his WORDS as was in JESUS. No man ever spoke like this man Jesus they said. Others said, What kind of man is this among us that even the winds and the seas OBEY HIS WORDS and that even death is overcome by them.

        Jesus said, We all testify to the things which we have seen and have heard and experienced. Luke was now testifying to the things eye witnesses had verified to them with power from on high who had seen the Lord and the power of HIS WORD and had handled him after the glory of his resurrection which when believed brings salvation and gives new life to the spirits of men.

        So in closing what do we write but what Luke himself wrote....Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses to....WHAT WERE THEY EYE WITNESSES TO? THE UNFAILING HOLY CHRIST, THE WORD OF GOD WHOSE WORD CANNOT FAIL NO MATTER WHAT...Jesus is THE WORDS NAME.....Amen....deno....share freely....verse 3 to come.
