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.



til next time jessebs

Peace and Shalom to Israel

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

Any day now - - - Part 1

Here I sit again, I guess that's a good thing at least I'm still breathing. My mind is on the future for some reason today, so here we go we'll see where this goes. Ever since time began there have been wars and battles, whether it was country against country or battles against family. One thing that is for sure is that until Jesus Christ splits the clouds of glory there will be wars and rumors of wars, there are no two ways about that. Jesus by his own mouth spoke these words and if Jesus spoke, write it down and take it to the bank, it's gonna happen.

Matthew 24:4-8 reads this way, the words of Christ in red. [4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

A lot of people have a problem believing the Bible as the Word of GOD, not I. There are a lot of man written and self interpretation bibles out there, but I can assure you one thing, if you are saved by the precious blood of Jesus Christ whom died on Golgotha's hill, on a cross, being filled with, which ever you choose to call it, the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit, they're both in the Word of GOD. It will begin to reveal to you as you pray and seek GOD and His word and will. Now that we have said all that back to the passage of scripture. JESUS said it right there, that many shall come in his name saying he is the Christ, and He warns us not to be deceived.

Let's see now, the not so great Jim Jones, David Karesh, Hare Krishna, and every other little cult that has popped up and continues to pop up, the sad thing about the cults are they who use the name of Jesus to prey on those who no one wanted in their congregation, those who are outcast, and down-hearted, to abuse, brain wash and they're so susceptible just wanting to be apart of something, they just want something to believe in and fall prey to these snakes and wolves in sheep's clothing.Yes I have said that the Church that I once attended seemed in way to be a cult, there was none of the sleeping together and having kids by the pastor that I knew of, it was either believe the way they did or you were called out. I myself chose to seek GOD in every thing I did so enough of that. I am not ashamed of anything I believe, because I believe it to be the word of GOD, the truth and nothing but the truth, if I am wrong I will burn in hell it's just that plain and simple.

Jesus also said that there would be wars and rumors of wars, Well friends there have been wars ever since the world begin, and there will continue to be wars, but the end is still not yet. By reading this scripture it brought to mind another passage of scripture, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 [1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so come as a thief in the night.[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Friends it is when we start to hear the people begin to say and shout peace and safety then will come sudden destruction, as pains of birth of a child, none shall escape, unless you are found under the shelter of of His wing, under His protection.The wing of the almighty GOD. I can already see this is gonna wind up being a 2 page blog, heck there is so much. Bet you did not know you could take one or two scriptures and write a book huh, so this will be page 1 of 2, there is so much to write and try and explain so much people are gonna see in the future, so people can understand so please bare with me.

thanks jesseb's

Saying Thank You just isn't enough.

As I grew up in what was once a small town in Texas. There was something I always wanted to be. A dream that fell by the way. I think back to the days of old, I have flash backs of what it might of been like to be there with them. You know some gave some, and some gave all. And not one thing should ever be said bad of them no matter what race or gender. Like I said, some gave some, some gave all. I have never opened up one of my blogs for discussion before and I really want to open this one up so please feel free to comment.
We are supposed to be a nation, a country which stands for something other than our own needs. A country which our young and old alike have stood for down through the annals of time. It's not about red, yellow, black or white any more. And no matter what I think I am just one voice out of millions, a voice that will never be heard or a body that will never be seen. My dream again I say fell by the way. They say that when children are young, they dream and think of what they want to be when they grow up. Some want to be policemen, some firemen, others, Doctors and some big time lawyers, not bad dreams for being so young. But I don't want to stray to far from the title. Saying Thank you just isn't enough. We are a nation of many but deep down a nation of one. As it looks right now, the way things are, if America finishes falling, we all fall, no matter race, gender, origin or religion.
Some gave some, some gave all. Saying thank you just isn't enough. My grandfather served in the Army in Germany, Korea and a short term in Nam, and lived to tell about. My Dad also served in the Army in Korea and Nam and Germany. He finished his tour in the Army and then finished his career in the Air force. Thanks Dad and Pops for serving, keeping America and other countries safe from aggression and the aggressors. For thousand of years battles and wars have occurred seemingly one right after another. And as long as there are humans running things, there will continue to be wars. Remember that the Word of God says one thing and One thing Very loudly, that when they begin (meaning the world begins) to say there is peace and safety, the Bible says, then there will come sudden destruction. Mr. President Obama, Mr. Secretary of State Clinton, (and I said Mr., not joking in stating it she would rather be a man, we've already had 8 years of her as president)sorry but it takes more than a village to raise a child. And to every other leader under the sun, moon and stars, keep pushing for peace and we'll all get to go home soon.
And as I said, some gave some, some gave all. Saying thank you just isn't enough. My dream as a child was to be one of the best. And what I'm about to say is nothing to down grade any of our service men, whether they are the Army, Navy, Air force, Coast guard or any branch of the national guards that serve to protect our freedom and freedom of others, our Sovereignty. Thank you, I know its not enough. I myself wanted to be a Marine, a jar head, I wanted to be one of the few, the proud, the Marines known for being the first in and the last out. And at that time if they would have taken me, not saying I could have seen into the future back then, I would have given my all for the Corp. I could of gone Army, I could have probably gone navy, but I didn't want to be either of those, for me it was Marines or none and the Marines wouldn't take me, #1 my eyes were to bad and nerves were shot, and I had no diploma. I think that if you can carry a gun, hoist a rifle, shoot and hit a target, (supposedly the enemy) that ought to be good enough to serve.
Peeps I didn't write this article or blog to be about me. It's to all the Proud men and women, young boys and every girl that has ever stood up for the Red, White, and Blue. The U.S. of A. that took and takes that oath to serve and protect, not only this great country but interests abroad, where diplomacy and democracy may have a chance to be a way of life. We salute you from the bottom to the top of our hearts. I say Thank You even though it will never ever be enough. Lord as I write this blog, I ask you to look down upon every service person, men and women, young and old and Bless them for serving our great country.
I could sit here all night long and blab on and on, and I must repeat it again, some gave some, some gave all, but saying Thank You will never ever be enough.

God please Bless America again, just the way you did back then, Lord, keep your hand I ask upon all the service men and women here and abroad. Lord and thank you for being Our GOD. We Praise and Thank you (and thank you will never be enough).

SHALOM AND PEACE TO ISRAEL
