Set another place at the table

The theme of this note is about reaching out all over the world. Not only for here in America, Egypt, Syria, India, Indonesia, Mongolia or every place around the world. Jesus said that the Gospel must be preached and then the end shall come. Many would say that the Gospel doesn't like much from reaching everyone everywhere around the world. Many would say that with the likes of DayStar, CBN, TBN, Jimmy Swaggart, Billy Graham and other well known evangelist that there's not many places left the Gospel hasn't been. But the question is, was it the TRUE gospel or Kingdom. The reason we use these men is because most of them held revivals and crusades back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. To say that would almost be calling Jesus a Liar. With billions and billions around the world, doesn't mean that DayStar, TBN, CBN, Swaggarts, the Grahams or any of the others are reaching anyone everywhere. What do I mean by that? Just because they claim to be a Preacher, Pastor or Evangelist of God doesn't mean that their word is getting across or it's of God. It's like everyone has a word especially the false prophets, false prophetesses and teachers in the world. Everyone has a different word like everyone has a different gospel or doctrine and the church world grabs ahold of every hook, line and sinker. God's church doesn't consist of 10,000 different denominations or 50,000 different word or views or beliefs, (that is not of God). Why would I come out and say such a thing with me being a evangelist/preacher?

All scriptures are from NASB

It is because of this.
1 Corinthians 14:33 --- 14:33  for God is not {a God} of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
This tells us that God is not of what confusion as in all the churches of the saints. Many thinks that since it say that God, is a God of peace to all the churches of the saints doesn't or does not mean God is talking about about 10,000 different churches or 50,000 belief. The bible tell us that Jesus established one Church at pentecost, and one gospel. Then the church grew and the Lord added daily such as should be saved.
Acts 1:1-47 verse 46&47 ---
2:46  Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
2:47  praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. 

As we said at the beginning of this post, The title is Set another place at the table. A little later we will talk about the title. But first we must try and cover all the basics as God through the Spirit has lead me. I really don't mean or intend to be harsh about Television Evangelist but actions speak greater than words, or the great crusaders of revivals and gatherings around the world.  (Grahams, Swaggarts, Paul Crouchs or any of the others.)

We posted the other day there are Four types of Christians.
NASB Matthew 13:18-23 ---
13:18 "Hear then the parable of the sower.
13:19 "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil {one} comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.
20 The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 
13:21 yet he has no {firm} root in himself, but is {only} temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.
13:22"And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
13:23 "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty."

And as we write this about the Televison crusaders and evangelists, we can't forget about us that reaches out to the lost. This hits home with many of us today the little people who are those who are working behind the scene. As we see from the the Four types of Christians we have to be held accountable ourselves.
We all have seen millions upon millions through the crusades come and profess to give their lives to Christ. Read the parable again of the sower.

Matthew 18-19-23 --- 13:19 "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil {one} comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. 

• The seeds falling on the road represent those who hear the word but dismiss it straight away - the synoptics state that the wicked one, (Matthew's wording), satan, (Mark's wording) is what takes the word away.

These are the people who hear the word of the Kingdom of God, they have no one to keep up with them and the enemy comes and destroys everything so hard worked for. The synoptics state that the wicked one, (Matthew's wording), satan (Mark's wording), is what takes the word away.

13:20 The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 13:21 yet he has no {firm} root in himself, but is {only} temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

• The seeds falling on the rocks represent those who hear the word, but only accept it shallowly - the synoptics state that these sorts of people reject the word as soon as it causes them affliction or persecution

13:22"And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful

• The seeds falling on thorns represent those who hear the word, and take it to heart, but allow worldly concerns, such as money, to choke it.

13:23 "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty."
 The seeds falling on good soil represents those who hear the word, and truly understand it, causing it to bear fruit.

Jesus said that not all will know the truth and He thanked the Father for not revealing the truth of God to all the wise and prudent. I will tell you this though, if the Mega Preachers and Churches preached the truth of the early Church of God, the true gospel, there wouldn't be multitudes of denominations, doctrines or Mega Churches. There's not much money in the truth of God, but blessed are those who find the truth and keep it.
Again the title --- Set another place at the table.
In the times in which we live it is getting harder to find anyone who will except God's word, the Bible. There are more leaving the church than there are joining the church. But we must realize that this has been happening for generations to generations, year after year.
NASB 2Timothy 3:1-7 ---
3:1  But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
3:2  For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3:3  unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
3:4  treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
3:5  holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
3:6  For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
3:7  always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Even in gospel times there would be perilous times; on account of persecution from without, still more on account of corruptions within. Men love to gratify their own lusts, more than to please God and do their duty. When every man is eager for what he can get, and anxious to keep what he has, this makes men dangerous to one another. When men do not fear God, they will not regard man. When children are disobedient to their parents, that makes the times perilous. Men are unholy and without the fear of God, and unthankful for the mercies of God. We abuse God's gifts, if we make them the food and fuel of our lusts. Times are perilous also, when parents are without natural affection to children. And when men have no rule over their own spirits, but despise that which is good and to be honoured. God is to be loved above all; but a carnal mind, full of enmity against him, prefers any thing before him, especially carnal pleasure. A form of godliness is very different from the power; from such as are found to be hypocrites, real Christians must withdraw. Such persons have been found within the outward church, in every place, and at all times. There ever have been artful men, who, by pretenses and flatteries, creep into the favour and confidence of those who are too easy of belief, ignorant, and fanciful. All must be ever learning to know the Lord; but these follow every new notion, yet never seek the truth as it is in Jesus. Like the Egyptian magicians, these were men of corrupt minds, prejudiced against the truth, and found to be quite without faith. Yet though the spirit of error may be let loose for a time, satan can deceive the nations and the churches no further, and no longer, than God will permit.
This is why it is so hard to reach people with the truth because they have be taught a lie for generations. The word of God is not preached or taught in the world's church or the congregations of satan. We will continue, those who stand for the Gospel, an even harder battle to reach the lost at any cost for they do not want truth. But one thing is for sure God's word doesn't and has never lied to those who will listen or those who choose to listen to the Spirit as it reaches out to those worthy. The church world has become a state of Pharisees and truly are Sadducees.
But eventually some will see and hear what the Spirit is bringing forward..As the parable of the sower in the verse 23 of Matthew 13 .There will be seed that will bring forth good seed, good ground and bring forth much fruit.

NASB Matthew 16-17 -- 16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
The Bible tell us in Luke 15:6-7 ---
15:6  And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
15:7  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
I believe when one soul, just one single soul that finds Jesus as their Lord and Savior it opens up the oppurtunity of them recieving the Holy spirit and their ears ,eyes hearts and minds shall be be open.
As it says in Luke 15:7 ---
15:7  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
I truly believe that when one soul is saved and delivered, He is he who the Son set free.
 Why would I use such a title for a post? It is because when one lost soul comes home or returns home there is a homecoming.  "The kingdom of heaven we may compare to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
Matthew 22:1-14 ---
22:1  Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
22:2  "The kingdom of heaven we may compare to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
22:3  "And he sent out his slaves to call those who had received invitations to the wedding feast, and they expressed unwillingness to come.
22:4  "Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have received invitations, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock I have all butchered and made everything ready; come to the wedding feast."'
22:5  "But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,
22:6  and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.
22:7  "But the king became enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.
22:8  "Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding has become ready, but those who received invitations did not prove worthy.
22:9  'Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.'
22:10  "Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall filled with dinner guests.
22:11  "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who did not dress in wedding clothes,
22:12  and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man became speechless.
22:13  "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there people will weep and gnash their teeth.'
22:14  "For many have received the calling, but few will become chosen."
There is coming a day a day called the wedding feast of the Lamb

It should be obvious that the setting of this parable is not "the marriage supper of the Lamb" when Christ returns and marries His bride (Revelation 19:9), but thepreparations for it. God has been sending out the invitations throughout history.
Salvation is a process. Once acceptable for the wedding, God does not judge a person at the doors of the wedding supper. Peter says in I Peter 4:17 that judgment is now on the house of God, spiritual Israel, the church. Revelation 11:18 further shows that Christ will not judge His saints at His return, but is coming to reward the saints and begin the process of judging the nations who have not yet had opportunity at salvation—during the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment.
Everyone that we win for the Lord is setting another place at the table of the great wedding feast of the Lamb. Rejoice and praise God almighty for being able to reach a lost or backsliding soul. Because once their home one more setting is set at the table.

Praise God let us help set another place at the table when a soul comes home.

When I've gone the last mile

You know they say you can't go back and change things thats happened even 5 seconds ago. But if I could I would suredly try to change a lot of things. They also say you have to live with the cards you are dealt. well if I had it my way, I'd ask for a new hand. Myself as well as countless on thousand upon thousand of people just here in the USA, just like myself, we weren't born on the other side of the tracks as to say, no silver spoon, no ira's, or college funds set aside. no we are the ones who have to fight for everything we got. Christianity in my house was nothing unless it was taking the church for everything they had and then when the well went dry, that's all you heard about church. I guess if it hadn't been for my late, late, grandmother, God rest her soul, I would have never graced the inside of a church building. And I praise the Lord for her.



They say that it's not good to look back on the past, but look to the future, but how can you look to the future when so much of your future is in the past. Growing up in the house I lived in was pure hectic to say at least. Like thousands of other young kids who had broken homes, life wasn't easy, especially when your mother remarrys a man she met in a beer dive. not to say that my real dad, which I never saw with my own eyes (and if I did was to young to remember), I've been told he was in no way a saint himself. Oh well maybe I will get to see him on the other side in new jerusalem, this is my hope and prayer. But as I look back I guess all the beating we endured made us better folk, I guess, I really can't tell.

But just to survive was not in itself easy, taking on different personalities, just to help us make through. we firmly believe that if God hadn't been there with us, we wouldn't be here today. The rule was, kids only spoke when spoken to, dare speak, get beat, then speak, get beat. what a win win situation huh ? Having your every move dictatated was grrrr. having no life was worse, But when Ive gone the last mile I know all will be well. to have to grow up the way we did as a child, and knowing that thousands upon thousands of others had it the same way makes one just break down and cry. It has taken many years for me to shed a tear for anything, or anyone and at times it's still tough to cry. When I lost my mother earlier this year, instead of crying, I felt thank goodness, this is over. Did I love my mom? yes. did I love my mom after all the abuse she and my stepdad put me through, yes but it was and still is tough.

Now that I look back at all the wasted years, what should have been and not should of been in my life, would I still change things? YES, I would. And the first thing would be, that the first time that I met Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I would have held onto Him for dear life. You see I wasted so many years of being a form of godliness, denyng the power thereof. I knew of Him, but really never knew Him. But now that I know Him and what He was and is capable of doing, I can no longer look back. For today the future is ahead of me. For all the mental, physical, and verbal abuse I grew up with, I have no one else to thank, but God the Father, who brought me through it all. As that old old song goes, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. By the help and grace of God I pray that my feet never again slip backwards but walketh forward from this day. That when I have gone the last mile of the way, Jesus will look at me and say these words, "enter in thy good and faithful servant".

Friends, you can make it the last mile of the way also, just trust in Him, Jesus.

Peace and Shalom to Israel

p.s. Please when you pray, pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Priorities

We go through life never knowing what tomorrow may hold, whether we'll live out the day or wake to face tomorrow. We rush through our everyday life. Most of the time it's one step forward, two steps back. We wake each morning as most do to a 8 to 5 or 9 to 5 job, seems like we see our fellow workers more than we see our family. To those who are not family oriented it really doesn't matter, but to those who are, it's pure torture. For most of us its rush, rush, rush, to others, it's who cares. As kids we watched our moms and dads have to shove off to work, and most think man don't they have it together, but deep down do they?

Do they live behind a mask that you as chilldren never will see til maybe it's to late. That those strong parents really aren't as strong as they seem but are hanging on by a thread, and at anytime, it could unravel. Sometimes in most families things are great, in some families it isn't, but who's the blame, mom or dad, dad or mom, mom or the child, dad or the child. The answer would be none of the above. In this rat race world we live in today, we somehow have to have priorities.

I have always been amazed at those who have their ducks all in row, that everything is lined up perfect. Then there are those of us who struggle each day just to have ducks. People say we are dealt the hand we have been dealt. And maybe we are. Not everything in life has a silver lining. What we as children dont realize is that it takes a lot to raise a family, until we have a family of our own. It is then that we find out everything in life isn't peachy. In life again I say we need priorities. what is yours?

As I was writing this a thought from the Apostle Paul came to my mind. Paul once said, "I must be all things to all men", seems to be such a busy statment and why do we say busy. Paul, even though he had Christ Jesus in his walk, but being the christian that he was, he had to be all to everyone, what ever state the people were in, he was there. If they were down, he was down, if they were lost and without Christ he had to lower himself to be able for those to see where he was coming from.

And even though he had to be all things, He keep his priorities straight. As we should in our lives everyday.

# 1 God first and foremost and everyday work to please him only.

#2 Family second and only second to God.

#3 work and what ever comes after that.

Friends these are the priorities we should have in our life everyday.

I truly believe that if we put God first and foremost he will surely make the time for you and your family and then he will bless the works of your hands. We so many times never set things in order, we watched our parents work themselves to death, and never had time for family, little less God. So, let us learn from their mistakes and set a few priorities in our life. That all may be good with you and yours.

Questions ????? Part 2

From our last blog we said there are a lot of things we do from the cradle to the grave, and we put forth a lot of questions. But there are things far more important than school, college, marriage, children, or divorce. There are a few more important things, such as GOD, Christ, and everlasting life. There are a lot of different beliefs out there and I guess that's what makes the world go around, as the saying goes, different strokes for different folks. That is why GOD lets us choose how and which way we go. He will not force us to serve Him. Glory be to GOD the Father in the Highest.

How many of us can remember the first experience we had with GOD?
How many of us can remember the first time we attended a church service and was overwhelmed by the presence of GOD?
How many of us can remember our first communion, or our first confession?
How many of us can remember our first Lord's supper and foot washing?
Can you remember your very first Vacation Bible School?
Can you remember the first time you went to the altar, and God met you there with open arms?

We can always remember the bad things that have happened to us. But how many good things can we remember that out-way the bad? Murphy once said , What will happen will happen, there's no two ways about it. Life is what we make of it. It is like coming to a crossroad with a 4-way stop and having to wait your turn. We all come to many forks in the road in this thing we call the game of life and it is not always easy to choose the right way to take. But we should always remember that we don't ever have to make that decision on our on. I have always believed that life can throw us curve balls. See, we fight against powers in high places, and no matter how hard we try to do the right things in life the enemy will always be there to throw his monkey wrench into everything he can to keep everyone he can down and out (down trodden) . I do not want to make people think that once you become a child of God, or start serving GOD, it will be a cake walk. He never said that we would get everything on a silver platter, it just doesn't work that way. But we will cover more on this in the following blog, I hope my friends and all will understand where we are coming from. QUESTIONS.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This is the answer to the monkey wrench and he knows how to use it well. If satan doesn't have us already he will be trying his hardest, no matter what it takes, to get us. Remember those who he has already he will use to do his handy work. Again we ask, "How many of us can look back and remember any of the questions that have been asked in this blog and remember the better times in life"? I hope we all can. And, if you can't, in our next blog following this one we will show you how you can remember the better days.

Whether it was when you first got married, your first child, the first time you met Christ as your Savior or just the joy you had that you have lost along life's journey. So if you want, check out our following blog for the answer to most of these questions.

until then thanks again jesseb's

TRYING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS

As I sat here tonight and a thought came to me, but first, before I start I must say, MY heading on my blog page says that anything goes which means that anything that comes to my mind I in someway will try and write about it to the best of my ability, at times I may use words that doesn't seem to be to some as appropriate, and The word of God says these very words. James 3:1-2 [1]My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Friends I have never said in any of my blogs that I am perfect, that I am not. I would like to at this time before I go on, to clarify something, I AM NOT PERFECT ( ELIJAH AND JOB AND CHRIST WERE THE ONLY PERFECT MEN, so if I offend you all in any way, let me know and I will see what I can do about it. I talk about GOD and Christ in a lot of my blogs and to mention some of the words I do, it sometimes gets pretty harsh so I guess what I am saying is I'LL try and clean it up, but I will not be a hypocrite. I PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS EVERYDAY, WHETHER I AM RIGHT OR WRONG. Sometimes I say to much, so bare with me. I will not write from behind a mask either for I am whom I am.

THANKS jessebs

My scrambled mind

It seems every time I begin to write I am always sitting on my butt at the computer, lol, but where else would I be to write? Sometimes it takes a while for me to think of what I am trying to write about and when I do begin to write it takes forever to finish and often becomes a book. I really like to write about what comes to mind even though to some it may not mean anything to anyone, and I hope that is alright. The highlights of my blog say that I like to read and write everything from Christ to the Federal Reserve and I think I have hit on a few of them. I like writing about the shape the world is in but at times it just plain makes me angry and I always come away sounding like I am judging everyone and all.

I really enjoy reading blogs of those who are down to earth, family type blogs, even though I may never have the right words to answer back in a comment. I really enjoy them. There are people on here that I follow I really love to read. I guess I'm not much of the online business type cause I can never understand what anyone is ever trying to explain, and I guess I really do need a MANUAL that is called online businesses for double dummies, cause I just can't get it. I love reading people's blogs who show different pictures and visiting other countries. I guess I am a hienz fifty-seven type reader.

There is nothing like reading a great blog that comes from the heart, from people who are real. Being able to seek help and not try to cover it up. Writing from the heart. Heck friends we all have troubles and talking about them out loud is nothing to ashamed of that I see, so I wish all the ones I follow online would write more so I could read more. Whether it's a line or a hundred lines please write. Well I guess I've said what came to my mind so my online blogger friends write more and post more pic's pleaseeeee.

thanks jesseb's
Shalom and Peace to I srael

He's alive.

Well today commemorates another year in the death of Christ. For a lot it marks the end of forty day of fasting and sacrifice, also marking when Jesus was lead into the wilderness forty 40 days and tempted by the devil. The Bible says He was hungry. It was then that He was tempted by the devil, 3 different times. I personally do not hold the forty days known I think, as lent. But there are millions who do, and I admire them for it. Luke 4:1-13 tells the wonderful story, read it if you have time.

There is the feast of the passover also known as the last supper, remember, were Judas would give what I call the kiss of death to Jesus, where Jesus knew he would be betrayed. Matthew 26: 1- 30 (also read), this is another part of the wonderful stories before the death of Jesus known as Easter.

As you well know that within this time frame, you should have heard of the foot washing of the disciple by Christ, which means that Christ wasn't greater than they to wash their feet. John 13:3-10, out of this passage, I'd like to POINT out one part of it to show how important it is. John 13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. He's alive.

Friends it is important to know that if thou hold ought against any you should not partake of the Lord's supper but make things right first. Jesus spoke these words in John13:10, Jesus saith to him, he that is washed need not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, Friends before one partakes of the Lord's supper one must do the following. Matthew 5:21- 24, [21] Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22]But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire[23] Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember est that thy brother hath ought against thee; [24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. To get the true meaning of the death of Christ we must first lay everything aside in our life, ought and all, to truly partake in the death of Christ. He surely is alive.

The death of Jesus Christ had been foretold from ages ago, how the lamb should be cut off in the midst of the week, meaning that Christ would die for the sins of the world becoming the only sacrificial lamb needed forever to forgive men their sins, no longer would there ever have to be blood sacrifices to cover man's sin, no more slaying of goats, sheep, lambs, cows etc. Jesus was cut off or died in the midst of the week, buried in a tomb and arose on the third day. The times between the death and Resurrection times has been a sticking point for many Christians for many years. Mark 16:1-6 read the story.

That day they chose Jesus to die over a criminal. Such a sad, sad day. That day they made the very Savior carry the cross upon his back, as they spit, laughed, beat, and cursed Him, through the streets of Jerusalem, UP Golgotha hill, as He hung on the cross the pain must have been so much to bare , but He did it. He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders. Just try and think what was going through His mind, as He hung there with a crown of thorns and nails drove through his hands and feet. Friends when He was on the cross we all were on His mind, as the blood trickled down His face, He saw us. Mark 15: 1-39, please read it you will see by reading of the pain, you were there on His mind.

Friends today if you have the chance to read and tell the story of Christ to your own children, please do. Not the Easter story, but the story of Christ. You see today as we are alive Christ also is alive and doing well remember He arose. He's alive.

I pray that today as we celebrate the resurrection, you will renew your relationship with Jesus. Make a new commitment to love, share and serve Him today, then share the Easter message with as many as possible. If you already have a relationship with Jesus then I pray today He will strengthen that relationship. If you have family that you have been praying for then I lift them up in agreement with you that the Lord will show them what He has done for them and that they too will accept this most precious of all gifts, God's amazing grace.
Well I think Ive said enough, thanks.
jesseb's

Guess what we shall see the King

There are so many things we go through in life one can barely know where to start. From childhood to death there are 2 things for sure we'll do. Pay taxes and die. Sounds pretty hard doesn't it? But it's the truth. There are a lot of people in the world that don't believe in GOD which I guess to every man his own belief, to each their own. As for me, I'm one of the millions that does. Heck, our founding Fathers, come to find out were atheist. Seems scary to me thinking back that America was supposed to be founded upon Biblical principles. I think if the people would have known at the time that they were atheist, they would have been run out of town on a rail. It makes me think back over all the Presidents we have that profess to be Christians, (no I'm not trying to judge), just wondering. Was and are they really Christians? Guess what they shall see the king.

It's just another example that GOD gives man a choice to believe in him or not. But I do know one thing, whether you believe in him or not there will be a day that you will. Even the devil believes in GOD and trembles. James 2:19- Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But then again that's up to you to believe in or not to believe in him. In the final book of the word of God, the book of Revelations it does say these words. Revelations 1:7- Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. But then again I say you have your choice and I have mine. I try not to sway anyone, but try to show people there is a real GOD. Every eye shall see and every knee shall bow, because we will see the King

I am a firm believer that that the devil isn't after someone he already has in his control. He's after those who fight against him and makes his task just a bit harder, because even though he was given free reign on earth there is still one more powerful than he, GOD. Lets remember JOB he was a true man of GOD he feared GOD, and the devil knew this and the devil came to GOD that if He would let him try, he believed he could cause Job to curse GOD and die. If you go to the book of Job and read the story you will find it totally amazing, a man who had it all, lost it all, and regained it all by holding his faith and belief in GOD. Totally awesome story.

There is a song that says, "We shall see the King, we shall see the King, ohhhhh friends there will be a day as there never was, when He will split the clouds with 10's of thousands of saints by His side, a day the mountains and buildings will literally crumble. The earth as we know it right now will never be this way again. A day so great and wonderful that at the sounding of the trumpet, graves will burst open and the dead in Christ will rise. Even Job after all he went through said these words from his mouth, Job 19:26- And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Friends if I have to die before Christ returns I hope I can say those same words. Even though the skin worms destroy this body in the flesh I shall see GOD. If Job knew this, we can know this too if we find him. The Word does say seek Him while He can be found, cause we will see him whether we want to or not.

Thanks again jesseb's

Thanks America

As we all know there's been things going on that just makes you sit back and shake your head. Congratulations America on your first Black President, secondly congratulations America for electing America's first Muslim President, and we all will see that part soon. I say congratulations to the American people, because I did not and would not have voted for him. He is not MYYY President, he is just a man to me, that I have to live under his rule. It won't be but a matter of time before the voters of America will wake up from his hypnotizing words, and beautiful speeches to realize, oops we screwed up.
I already know from reading on here that a lot of people put a lot of stock in what other people read and write as prophecy. As example, we can go back to the days of Jim Jones, the koolade man, or David Koresh, the Waco dude. I was reading on the internet and there are thousands of people out there prophesying and babbling and going on. I can see why folks do the things they do and act the way they do. I am not saying that people who prophecy are wrong. But from My understanding of the Bible, there is predicting and prophesying, but there are differences in Apostles and prophets. Just as there is a difference in the church between speaking in tongues and tongues and interpretation.
First of all prophesy is to predict or reveal through or as if through, divine inspiration. Predict is to make a prediction about; tell in advance, indicate by signs. Prophets of old such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Joel, Hosea and the others were prophets of God. They foretold of things that would happen not only in their day, but days to come and the distant future. These were God chosen men, men of God not just some ( johnny come lately that momma called and daddy said, son your a prophet). It just doesn't happen that way. Have people been so deceived to think and believe such a thing still happens? Ecclesiastes 1 vs 9, says that which has been, is, that which will be, and that which has been done, is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. Prophesies of today should in no way be classified as a prophecy. There is no new thingggg. Of the Biblical Prophets what did it say a few sentences back that a prophet is? (gotcha), we hadn't defined a prophet or apostle yet, totally different. A prophet is an authoritative person who divines the future, someone who speaks by divine inspiration; someone who is an interpreter of the Will of God. An apostle is, any important early teacher of Christianity or a Christian missionary to the people. Friends, two totally different callings. There are differences in the gifts and the calling of God, and if you have one of the gifts or callings, feel blessed. God, in no way will repent or say He's sorry because He entrusted you with the gift.

AGAIN I say, Thanks America. People can choose whom they want to believe, whomever you want to follow, God gives us choices, but as for this house, we will trust, serve, believe, and follow God and his word. I know that a lot of people don't care to read about things like this which is fine. Again its that freedom of choice.

If you looked at the gifts and callings of God after Jesus died, these are the gifts to the church that God gave to the church that it may grow and flourish. (1st Cor 12 vs 1-11 ). There is the gift of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, gift of discerning of the spirits, divers kind of tongues, and interpretation of tongues, they work of the same Spirit the Holy Ghost. There I wrote them for you, lol, but the one I want to look at is prophecy, just because you have that gift doesn't make you a prophet who sees hundreds or thousands of years down the road. This gift was given for the edifying of the church. Looking back a minute, there were tongues and interpretation of tongues, it is the spirit of God that moves one to prophesy in tongues, in which in most instances be unknown (unknown tongues) this is where the interpretation of tongues comes in. There has to been an interpreter and not all members of the body of Christ have that gift. Now for prophets true or false.
Now for Nostradamus, hmmm, strange bird if ya ask me. Well where do we start? # 1-He was no prophet, #2-his writing was not prophecy. He was a seer, a soothsayer, a clairvoyant, he had the ability to foretell the future, he was one who predicted the future by using magic and intuition. Before I even wrote anything about Nostradamus and the magic, I read where he changed a lot of his writing to use symbols and left out certain letters so they would not think, (THINK) he used magic, but as a matter of fact in part, he was using partly magic and then was smart enough to be able to hide it from those who would recognize him being a warlock, plain and simple.
Again I say Thanks America. What is so sad about America today is they put more trust in the writing of man, than the very one who created them. Then again, God will not force you, me or any other red blooded person on earth to believe in Him.

I was looking at the 2012 video, that was wild, but good. The only thing that was far fetched on it was the aliens and the giant meteor hitting the earth. Hmm, I haven't read in the bible about that (yet). Guess I'll go back and read some more, but about aliens, I don't know, but angels, yes. Then we have the dilemma of the anti-christ, an antichrist can be anyone who is against the word of GOD and Christ Jesus. John in 1st john 2:8 wrote: (you can read for yourself), the anti-christ we await to appear is he whom shall arise out of the East. A lot of people think it's the Pope, some say Chinese, some say he will of a Arab descent, any of them it could be. But I haven't ask God to show who it will be, I won't, because that's not for me to know until that time occurs. I will put this out there from the way I feel, it could be a muslim born American or should he even be considered American, I don't think so but who am I.
So America Thanks, while the world looks for signs and makes up sign such as 2012 I'll keep searching the Scripture and seeking God the Father and his son Jesus. While so many predict the end, they lead millions down that road to destruction. I guess no one has ever read in the Bible where it says, that NOT EVEN JESUS KNOWS THE DAY HE WILL RETURN, (BOOYAH). WHEN THE FATHER ON THE THRONE TURNS TO HIM, HIS SON JESUS, AND SAYS, SON IT'S TIME, IT WILL BE TIME TO RUMBLE. WOW, just as I set here writing this, can't you just feel the angels in heaven rehearsing their part. FRIENDS it says every eye shall see and every knee shall bow.

Well as I finish this article i guess I'll swallow some of my anger, and say once again, thanks America again for bringing us one day closer in prophecy, to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I guess instead of using the word anger, I should use some other word such as selfishness, I guess I say it the way I do because he is the very man who is behind the peoples back that voted him in to office, slowly sliding the knife into their backs. But first he will destroy anything and everything that has to do with God and His word, then turn on the very people who elected him.
So Thanks America again, if you can do something/anything else to get us closer to the coming of Jesus pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do.

Shalom and Peace to Israel.
jesseb's anything goes

What should you do, versus, What would Jesus do

Long ago I heard a song ,that has stuck in my heart and mind for all these years, (What Would You Do if Jesus Came to Your House)? If you recognize the song you'll probably know about how old I am. Thinking back to about the time the song was recorded in 1956, its kinda hard to know what the days were like back then, at the time the song hit the top 10 on the country gospel charts. A song so smooth yet so strong, it should make the mightiest of men to the weakest fall on their knees and pray. What would you do if Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two? Can we honestly say at this very moment that our house is in order? If He was to knock on our door at this very minute, would we peek out to see who it was and have to say, wait a moment I'll be right there? Or would we be able at that very moment greatly excited, full of joy and happiness , to say to our Saviour do come in?

So many times we get wrapped up so far into things we're wanting to do, we never have the time to think of things such as these. Life is short, the word of GOD says that the days of men are numbered (women also), that the next breath we take could be our last. We have no promise of tomorrow. Do you ever take the time to talk to GOD? Most would say yes to the question, which is great. Yeah, I pray for this, I pray for that, matter of fact I just got through praying for Bro. Bob and Sister Shirley, just a few minutes ago. I prayed for the people of the world, our President, my church, and my friend's dog, also my family. That is great also, the Bible says pray without ceasing, constantly let there be praise coming from your mouth, your being. But wait you forgot to do 1 thing, 1 thing that is as important as the rest, did you take the time to pray for yourself, your well being, and where you stand with God?

Some may at this time, be thinking what has this to do with if Jesus came to your house? WWJD verses wsyd? Is your house in order? The first thing so many times people thinks this is in reference to the earthly home in which you dwell, but what about the house where the Spirit or Holy Ghost dwells? As we run around in our every day home, we clean, we sweep, we mop, and make sure the dishes are done, rush, rush, rush. Wow, after all that I can see why we have no time to do anything else. We're to dizzy to do anything for a while, so we sit down and we are through for the day. Again I ask, what about the house the Spirit dwells in?
Have you today made time to clean it out? Have you taken the time today to ask God to remove the trash your mind's accumulated while watching that vain empty smut filled movie you watched last night? Have you taken the time today to say to God, wipe the filth from mine eyes? Have you today asked God to remove the tarnish from thine heart for listening and laughing at the sad and tasteless joke that made you laugh? Did you ask Jesus to cleanse you with hyssop's a very expensive ointment?

Brother and Sister, when it comes to WWJD verses wsyd, we lose hands down. The word of God tell us that we must strive for perfection. What does perfection mean? Well let's see, (perfection is a state of being without flaw or defect). Jesus is without defect and flaw. Only 1 time did He lose His temper, that was when they made His Father's house a den of thieves and robbers. He got angry the Word said, but sinned not. But He was forgiven of that, the very night He went into the garden, knowing the day was near, knelt on His knees wept and prayed so hard that his sweat turned to blood. If that's not love, We need to find time in our everyday life to set our houses in order, so if that day should come, that Jesus shows up at our door without warning, unexpectedly, we won't have to run hide the magazines and put out the Bible, or even change the channel. I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, I'm just trying to get you to see, how we should be , if that moment should happen to you or me. That Jesus shows up at our doorstep.

Do you start your morning by rolling off the side of your bed , starting your day with a prayer? If ya didn't, don't feel bad, most don't. It has been brought to my attention from people, (Christians --- children of God), that starting their day with a prayer had helped and helps them make it through the wicked day they face before them. Do you start your day with a cup of coffee and breakfast, before you do anything else? Have you really looked around your house , to see if your house is Christ like, Christ suitable? Are there more books and magazines laying around than there are Bibles? Is your TV set on Good Morning Oklahoma or is it still showing HBO or Showtime, no holds barred smut? Did you say before all this, good morning God the Father, I love You and cherish You, help me to except this day and whatever that may come my way?

Well, Jesus is at this very moment preparing His home for you. He doesn't have to put away the books or magazines, He doesn't even have to turn the channel, He doesn't have to clean, sweep, or mop because in His house all thing are cleansed and well.

What would Jesus do? He'll be waiting on you at the door with open arm's , waiting for that 1 call, that 1 prayer, as you start your day. He's been there for you even though, you cannot see Him, you cannot feel Him, He's there waiting, (WWJD? He'll do His part).wswd (our part) God's will should be our will but our will is NOT God's will. We can't be Christ but we can be Christ like.

I'm not a great author of this, or the word of God, I just hope that some of the things I write in these blogs will help someone. Maybe someone that is broken, tired and worn. Just a little something to pick them up when their down and out. WWJD? Now what will you do? For Jesus truly is the Word, the Way, and theLife.

Today, I truly hope this blog touched someone's heart.

You know the word of GOD says that no man can come to the Father less the Spirit of God draws him. We must always remember that there are two spirits in the world, the Spirit of God and the spirit of satan. Be not deceived, not everything that is done in the church, is done of GOD. Beware there are many wolves in sheep's clothing. Pray and seek, if you feel the Lord tugging at your heart's door kneel and pray to the Father to forgive you, your sins. He is true to forgive. Then seek a church in which you believe God is leading you to. Choose not the first church that is beautiful, has beautiful words and eloquent speechs. Choose to let God lead you, lead not you yourself.
