Don't blink, Life is like sands through an hour glass

We all know life is short, we've heard this all our days. As the granules falls through an hour glass at times so slow, yet at others poof and their gone. So are the days of our lives. If it hadn't already happened in time once, I would ask GOD to let time stop again not for just a day, but a week or two so we could catch up on Life. I know that it would be asking something so far fetched and ridiculous that I'll leave it at that. Talking about taking Gods name in vain, with something so meaningless. I ought to be so ashamed for even thinking such thoughts, I'll ask forgiveness and move on. I remember back when I was younger always saying I wish 18 would come, and it did in 1976. We were living in Temple Texas, in a house on a hill where the wind would blow so warm in the summer, yet oh so cold in winter and fall.
Well as many things do 18 came and went. It's like the song Kenny Chesney wrote and sang, (Don't blink). How you fall asleep at 6 years old and wake up your 25. That's the way it is when your 18. You get there and the next thing you know your 21, where did the time go.
This goes to show like sands through an hour glass, don't blink. There are two things for certain in your life, #1 is you'll pay taxes and #2 you'll die. Heck of a combination, huh? Really something to look forward to. When I look back to certain people in my life, I looked up to my Grandpa, as hard as it may be for some to believe. He was an alcoholic, and yes I loved, respected and looked up to him. Even though he was an alcoholic, one thing he did up into the day he passed on was, he didn't let his disease stop him from working, and another he taught me to be a man. Thanks Pops, R.I.P, you are greatly missed and loved. Gosh where did the time go, sometimes I think I blinked way to many times.
Now I think back to the age of 22, to what was the beginning of 22 years of happiness for us, to know who us is, is to know me. It was the day that He (God) called us into the ministry to preach the Word, His word, the very word of God. Yet at various times in my life I had attended church, I think back then I just knew about Him, but really didn't know Him (God). I hope that made sense. We had 22 years I say again that was great, even though there were many valleys on the way to the mountain top, I can still hear the words of a song I loved and is still close to my heart, sang by the Rev. F.C. Barnes and the great Janice Brown. The Rough Side of the Mountain. To me it's a song everyone who professes to be a Child of God should have in their heart. Many times in our ministry, we turned to the song just to make it along with God. Then 1 day we blinked. Maybe none of this means anything to the title of this article, but being a Preacher is the hardest thing in the world to be, all eyes are upon you, and someone is always waiting for you to fall from Grace. As did Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker, Robert Tilton and so many others who preach the Gospel have done, but made it back. When God blesses you so greatly and gives you everything you ask for, you have a tendency to begin to believe that you're bigger than God, and great is the fall or should I say mighty is the fall.
Wow, like sands through an hour glass don't blink! 21+ 22 = 43 of 50 years, 7 and a half years ago we messed up big time. I hope no one takes this wrong when read, but we have messed away the last few years, I blinked. I guess what bothers us the most is that I have kids who still follows God and a wife who loves Him greatly, and we hinder her from serving Him because we can't find it in us to forgive what we did. I hope we can one day get it right, before Jesus comes back to take His children home. That was then and this is now, forgiven is forgiven. Don't ponder on the past if you blink what then.
Don't Blink, the granules of sand falls faster than you think, Don't blink because before you know it, it's over. Don't blink, for like sand through an hour glass that falls, when it's finished, its done.It like life is a vapor poof and its gone.
Thank you and God bless you all

Shalom and peace to Israel.

Memory take me away

The reason why we titled this memory take me away, is that if skin -so- soft ain't helping my skin, calgon surely is not gonna take me away. I know, look at my gator legs lol. But memory take me away has nothing to do with DA skin. It's about going back to a happier time in life, well a little was good and a whole lot of the other, rough. I can vaguely remember a lot of my childhood, and sometimes I really don't want to remember much of it. I had a step dad that was in the military, and God rest his soul, but then again at times I wonder if he even had a soul. Oh well . But I had an uncle and aunt we stayed with at times when we weren't at my grandma's and grandpa's. That's when he was gone overseas. And I can remember some of the times when we could be just kids, even though that was only til about 7 or 8 years old.


But as I can said I can barely remember being at my aunt's house and it was pretty cool. waking up at six in the morning because usually we were on pallets on the floor. Uncle would come in on Saturday morning and watch television before he went to work. Uncle was an alcoholic, (and yes I guess I came from a long line of them), but I can remember watching the different cartoons back then and I look today, and can only say memory take me away.


What ever happened to Tweety and Sylvester, or batman and robin, what about tom and Jerry, mickey and Minny mouse, Pluto, Donald and daffy duck, the road runner and coyote, speedy Gonzalez, and all the good memories. Back when barbie and ken was in and ken was macho, or GI Joe. What about Archie and jughead and the gang, Josie and the pussy cats, Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and I know I'm missing a lot of them, oh oh my heroes the three stooges.


Now a days its oxigons and boxigons, transformers, batman, (who doesn't even look like himself), the joker, riddler, penguin, robin, cat woman, woo woo, (just kidding), power rangers, anything that has to do with evil is what we see on today's television. Oh memory Oh memory take me away. Sadly enough they have taken and changed all the good for the bad. What about the stinking wrestling, laying around the living floor on Saturday nights and watching the Von Erich's wrestle, especial Fritz, or Wahoo McDaniel, kabuki, the iron sheik. the road warriors, Jake the snake, the junk yard dog. Now we got all the pilled up bunch of actresses calling themselves wrestlers, hogwash. Looking at the women wrestlers, ain't a one of them all natural, get what I mean. What ever happened, like Tim Mcgraw said, back when a coke was a coke the wind was all the blew, crack was cracking a joke and a spoon was a spoon. Oh what memories.


Then there was some we won't talk about much, because none of them are alive today to defend themselves, lol. About the times I would sneak behind the chairs and drink their beer only to crawl out from there to the middle of the floor and flop around like a fish outta water. ah the good ole days, But I can remember years back when having to quit school 3 years in a row to help support (should I put it nicely and say help support the family) or just go ahead and tell the truth, support my worthless, oops, stepdad. I shouldn't have said that on the Internet hi-way. I remember working on a Podunk farm to sell veggies at his Podunk vegetable stand, just to have 3 years of my life wasted on lost dreams and selfishness. I can remember 25 cent cigarettes. and 35 cent gas, wow those were the days huh?


And, (not to hurt any ones feelings who reads this), if only I would have married my first true love would anything have helped at all? we'll never know. Like that song little Texas sang ( what might have been ) no it wouldn't have worked either I screwed that up too outta respect and a drunken stooper. Alcohol does not pay. You know deep down, I'd like to have some of the younger days back and be able to rid my mind of a lot of the other. Like having the old cartoons back, and thats a shame because besides one other thing, that's all I would want back. Don't get me wrong, I gotta, soon to be, good wife, who was and isn't yet lol. 6 good kids and the juries out on 1. 10 great loving grandkids and the juries out on 1 of them too lol. They say it's not good to live in the past, and maybe it's not, but it sure sometimes relieves tension and stress just to talk about it. but all and all, Only with God and my Lord Jesus Christ all is good and to all for now good by.

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.

The answer, A peace that passes all understanding

At this time I find myself looking for answers to the questions in the last two blogs I wrote. Questions 1 & 2, where do I start? We talked about marriage, divorce, having children, but we didn't mention the most important part of everyone's life, GOD and JESUS. I failed to mention the HOLY GHOST and eternal life. We tend to do things in our life as we said before, some things we regret and and some never ever regret any thing, whether or not it's right or wrong. Some don't believe there will be a judgment day and then there are those who knows there will be a day when every eye shall see and knee shall bow. But let's get back to some answers. Again we say life is what we make of it. Some are more fortunate than others, then there will always be those who get nowhere in life. The word of GOD says it plainly that the poor will be with us always. Those who have never been in that shape will never understand it.

It really doesn't matter what side of the tracks you come from, but that's just my thoughts on the matter, because good can happen, as well as bad can happen to anyone. I myself do not ever want to be filthy rich but just have enough money to be happy in life. I have read the book and have read what the end is to those whose money is the only drive they have, and guess what? They may be rich but they're never happy because the only thing they can think of is more ways to make more money. What does the word of GOD , the bible say about it. 1 Timothy 6:9-10
9) But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10) For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

See I want all to see the scriptures for themselves it doesn't take a rocket scientist or even a biblical scholar to understand the word of GOD. It plainly says that they have fallen into temptations and snares and many foolish and hurtful lusts. It says that the love of money is the root of all evil, and I know a lot of men who would beg to differ, and say the scripture should read the lust of women should be, well sorry its not like that it says money. Money causes men and women alike to err from the faith. All it is saying is that once men get to the point of having everything they need in their lives, such as riches, they have no need to have to depend on GOD for anything. Dividing them from ever needing GOD after, until something goes drastically wrong, then there once again calling on GOD. Then there are some that don't know that the Bible says that GOD HEARS NOT THE PRAYERS OF THE WICKED. Sounds pretty tough huh? Well it is, the word plainly tells us that there is only one way to GOD, and that is through JESUS CHRIST and the Spirit of GOD that draws one to the Father

Proverbs 15:29- 31- 29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
But if we look up in that same passage of scripture to verses Proverbs 15: 8-9 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Friends the reason I try and show you the scriptures is so that you may see them for yourself. I am to scared to tell you something that's not biblical, if you find me cowardly, I'm sorry. When we go to 1 Timothy 6:1-8, it tells us a lot of things to watch out for; the way men carry themselves and the words they speak. but when we get down to verses 4-8 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strife's of words, whereof come envy, strife, railings, evil surmising, 5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

To be content in the world is to live for GOD, the scriptures tells us not to forget to remember. We came into the world with nothing, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. It is every young person's dream (or most all of the young people), to grow up, hopefully get married, have kids, get rich if possible so they don't have to go through what a lot of people had to go through growing up. Heck it's not bad to think that way, I even thought that way, it just didn't work out that way. Yes I got married, had 3 wonderful kids of my own, had a good paying job, and even served GOD, I had it all. But as it said in the past scriptures, money is the root of all evil..(the lust of). All was well in my life until money became more important. You see, I've been there, done that. But I'm not alone. I've seen it time after time, but it ain't for me to judge anyone, how can I?

I wrote all this to say to all that reads (and hope it makes some sense), it doesn't matter what we do in life, growing up is not bad, getting married isn't bad, having kids ain't bad, all is good. But I will say this, that doing all these things without GOD on your side, just makes it tougher to make it in life. No, He didn't promise me or you a silver platter, or a bed of roses, He just told us in the scriptures above: having food and raiment let us be therewith content. Am I saying GOD wants us poor? Heaven forbid, no. He just wants to be there to help us through our lives. And no, GOD is not a glory hound, but all glory goes to GOD, and belongs to Him. Some may read this and think I am crazy, and yes I am a little nuts but no, not crazy.

Life again I say is what we make of it and I know you all are probably tired of hearing or reading it. But what I told you that you can have and live in is peace. Philippians 4:4-7 [7]Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Read the scriptures, it's right there before your eyes to see. THROUGH IT ALL GOD CAN AND WILL give you a peace that passes all understanding. I have found we can do life the hard way or we can make life a bit easier and trust in a GOD whose peace passes all man's understanding. All men can do is tell you about the peace, but men can not give you that peace, only GOD through his SON JESUS CHRIST.

You see when God's in charge all things work to the good, but a lot of times we tend to let satan get to us in other ways, so, when GOD gets ready to work, satan clouds our minds so bad GOD gets set back to the side and can't work.
Friends I know it was long but I hope you enjoyed.
Thanks jesseb's
Shalom and Peace to Israel

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

Son, can mommy come out and play.

Hopefully by now everyone has heard how there is a plan that was brought up by the united nation to where parents would only have the right to dress and feed their kid, and the government will raise them from there. Well Mr(s). Clinton, Obama's right hand she-man has been for this every since he was in office 8 years ago and the way its going it will be a done deal. Watch for it.

Well here's the deal about Son can mommy come out to play and this blog won't be deleted because it will hurt someone's feeling. ( Sorry) I have 3 daughters 4 all together one is 22 and 27 and 30, the other is 34. And really if you ask me neither 3 have had business having kids. that just my opinion and you know what they say about that,opinion are like butt holes everybody has one. In one of their case's she needs to learn to be patient with her 4 year and 9 year old, you can tell that the 9 year old son has been screamed and hollered at quite a bit because you can't even talk to him without him stuttering and tearing up at times. It will break your heart at times, and I can't just jokingly say anything in a certain tone without him thinking I'm mad or upset with him. It's a really sad ordeal, then he has a sister 4, one of the sweetest little girls you could ever meet, only thing wrong with her is she is to smart for her britches. We pretty much raised her, My wife and I the first 3 years of her life till her mommy decided she wanted to be a mother and could handle her. We all know that babies have a tendency to wake up or cry a lot when their just born until 7, 8 or 9 months old, so many a night again sometimes just me or me and my wife would walk with her, not drive, and as we would walk she would be as calm as though she was never upset. We live by a post office and the flag there flies 24/7 everyday of the year. By the time she was 4 months old she could recognize and point out the flag, trees, leaves, grass, flowers, the moon and stars. She was walking, I believe before she was 6 months old or earlier and talking by one. Gosh I love that kid, but I love all my grand kids the same measure even though we have to discipline each differently. Having 2 grandsons with the same disorder can be tough at times esp. when you keep them at the same time and their mommies don't bring their (ADHD) medication it gets pretty nerve racking at times, plus us getting older doesn't help either. You know what's sad about the whole thing is that when you have to buy your child something for them to even want to go home with you. It's really sad, and another thing that is sad, when mothers who have kids from different dad's, and the one she marries is the only dad he really has ever known and he isn't worth a shit. (sorry if my words offend) but when you have (narcissistic) parents, sad, oh man it's so damn sad. That was 1 of my daughters I'm not even blood kin to, but I love her and her sister as my own. And we treat them no differently than my own. They want your advise all the time but never listen. It's like you can take my advise or do as you damn well please, your way. Well its always their way and comes back to bite-em. It is a shame when children of today, but it's been this way every since I was a kid, and millions others just like me, when kids have to grow up before they ever had a childhood, (and has a tendency to scar them later in life) and that is the parents fault, for not being parents. Then there's the 30 year old, (my other blood daughter), I'm just going backwards down the line. who has 4 kids, and it is the true statement can mommy come out to play, sadly enough I can't say much about her because just last month was the first time in over 10 years I had seen any of them, except to say she began having kids at to early of a young age.

Son came mommy come out to play. This one is my blood daughter, (the 27 year old), God bless her soul. I love her so much, she was always a daddy's girl, I can remember when she was young, how timid she was, how you would say boo and she would cry lol. But she at some time grew out of it, (having a gun held to your head by an abusive husband can make you grow up pretty fast). I guess having a kid at a young age with a worthless abusive husband, (seems to be a trend with all my girls) contributed to that.

I know you all are thinking that's because I'm dad and there ain't no guys worthy, but that's not the case at all. Seems the problem is every one of them the 22 the 27 and the 34 has a propensity to attract mommy's boys and guys that are mentally or physically abusive. Well she had a child and he has been nothing but hell on her, but, we still love him the same, and I know you all will think I'm one sorry S.O.B, but he is turning out just like his dad. She has tried to get him so much help, she is a GOOD mom, she does everything under the sun for him, but nothing seems to help. And, I can't help but say this, she has attracted another freaken' mommy's boy who is mentally abusive, and of course, yeah, you got it, he ain't worth a shit either. She has a kid, he has a kid, they have a kid together, it's a damn mess. She doesn't like his kid, he doesn't like her kid, but they both love the kid they have together. Wow, can mommy come out to play, and mommy, son, can daddy come out to play? This is the other 9 year old with (ADHD) or to say it better both 9 year olds get out of control. When both 9 yr olds are together, hide the chocolate, candy, Dr pepper any thing that has sugar. The 27 yr old daughter is like the 34 yr old, you can take my advise or do as you damn well please, well as with the other it's they do as they damn well please, she trys to be a mom to her son, but he is so disrespectful. My wife and I have at times talked to him and when he stays with us, it is yes ma'am and yes sir. Lord bless her for trying. I have told both daughters to get rid of the dead wood or weight which ever fits the bill, then try again. Now for the 22 yr old who got a child after a rumble in the sack, I have to admire her for one thing, she did finish school before the baby was born. But she married the baby's father, which I thought was a good guy, and I can tolerate him, but, he cheated, they divorced, they have a kid together, they got joint custody, his mom is raising the kid more than both of them. He's gotten several girls pregnant, was supposed to marry a couple of times, didn't happen. They've tried to get back together, that didn't work out, she never or seldom has her daughter. His mom is, I guess, instead of the child' s grandma, her mommy. Now the the daughter was pregnant, and I may sound like a cold hearted Son of a B+-=-, but it didn't take and probably was for the best, you don't have a kid to try and settle down a man who is 30 yrs older than you. Geezz, daughters, wake up plzzzzzzzzzz. Another instance of a kid wanting another kid to raise. Damn, we really didn't raise them this way. Were we bad parents? Hmmm that's a hard question to answer, but I think not. Every one of them was raised in church and taught right from wrong.

When you can't discipline your kids without the Government stepping in, I guess that's the way things go. It will go from bad to worse. If you think it is bad now, just wait. Son, can your mommy come out to play, is the way it seems to me. Parents can't discipline their kids now without DHS stepping in and that's part of the reason the kids run the home.

I really don't know if anyone besides my wife, will read this blog, and if nobody does that's fine. But it's about kids having kids ,and then the kids rule the house. If anyone takes offense to this. sorry. I really do love ALL my girls and I want it to be known, what I say to one I'm not ashamed to say to all. I want that clarified and I want it clarified that I love you ALL with ALL MY HEART and the pain that you feel, I feel because I love you. You are NOT bad girls, you've made some bad choices, we all have in life. Now it's time to make those decisions right.

What it means when I say son can mommy come out to play is that kids are having kids and then the kids rule the home.

Thanks, jesseb's anything goes
Shalom and peace to Israel

From Egypt to the grave

You know the day is coming soon whether it be tomorrow, or 1 to 10 years down the road it's a coming. I say it this way because no one knows when for sure, but it will. I think back to a place in time, to the Bible, to the many things that took place over a vast period of time. All the men and mighty men who gave it all whether in war or in service to God Almighty. That amazes me because they didn't have all the modern conveniences like we do today. Unless we've missed something reading the Word. We believe that when they went into battle they went afoot, if they went about doing the work of God they went afoot. That had to be tough. Just seeing that once they left Egypt to the time they reach the Promise land all the mountains and hills they overcame, wandering in the wilderness 40 years. But if one was to look closer, God is a God who will not be mocked or angered. Here we have a multitude of people in Egypt crying and crying, oh God deliver us from the task master, they cried and moaned, even moaned some more till God bid their request. I think we all know the story of God vs Pharoah, my money if I were a betting man is and always will be on God. Pharoah picked his poison in the battle of wills and lost, sorry Pharoah. They got to leave Egypt but even that wasn't enough to satisify Israel. They complained, murmured, bellyached, moaned, cried, complained some more to the point to where I think that God had, had enough. We have always heard that God is a merciful God and he was then and is still today, but enough is enough, how do you feel as a parent when your children keep on and on and on, you get fed up also, or ok most normal parents do. But according to Numbers 14 vs 1-35. What should have been a walk in the park, wound up being 120 years of circling the park, read it you will see. Again I say don't mess with God. And just think of all the people who died in the wilderness, had to be at least thousands on thousands who never got to see the Promise land, and if the Book is right (and we know it is), won't get to see the future Promise land, (The Kingdom of God), either. Every day that we breath the precious breath of life we ought to be singing Praises to the most Most high God who gave us Jesus to die for our sins, that we can be forgiven because of His blood. Oh yeah as the song says there is power in the blood. And what authority do I have to sit here and tell you they won't get to see the future Kingdom. Anyone who has ever studied the Old Testament knows that there had to be a kid goat sacrificed for a sin offering, slain and the blood was shed for the coveringggg of their sins men (and women alike). If one was to go back and read at the time of the holy convocation a goat along with many other animals had to be slain. 1 goat each day for 7 days, you see if there was no sacrifice there was no covering of your sin. You died in your sin. Oh Praise the Lord He saw fit, that men needed a second chance. So he offered up His only begotten Son born of man. Does anyone today give him praises for the sacrifice? One would hope so in knowing that you don't have to bring a sin offering before the alter of God for the covering of your sin's. All we have to do now is ask Jesus to forgive us with his blood 24/7, 365 days out of a year, no MORE taking long journeys to the tabernacles or synagogues for blood sacrifices.

I guess we've written all this to get to a point and will reach it soon. I look back to men in the Bible that has done more for the cause than I will ever be able to do, Abraham, Moses, Issac, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, and there hundreds more to mention, who have cemented their places in that Kingdom to come. Their times of trial and despair has been over along time. I wrote all this to get to this part right here, they are the ones who can sing the song better than any one because on that day, what day, the day of Christ return.
That song is as follows:
Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down . Friends on that day it will be a day of much mourning and crying, but also a day of great shouting and dancing (in the Spirit that is). Folks it won't be the first time of bodies coming up out of the grave but it will be the most important. When I get to thinking about the day when JESUS comes back and all that resurrecting power that will be with Him. At times I find myself saying come on God bring it on. When we go back to Matt 27 vs 1-54, (read this) and if you have any bit of God in you, you should have chills running up and down your arms, neck and back, this is where Jesus is crucified, after he cried out My Father, My Father why hast thou forsaken me, and then after, yet again, cried out He gave up the ghost. It says at that time the veil in the temple, (which hangs from the ceiling to the floor), rent which means tore into 2 pieces, the earth did quake and the rocks did move. My My My friends can't you just imagine what that day's gonna be like again? Friends, it says that the power of His resurrection was so strong, (Matt 27 vs45-53) THAT THE GRAVES WERE OPENED AND THE BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE AND CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE AFTER HIS RESURRECTION ,THEY WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY. Again I say, friends there's coming a day as no one has ever seen, not in your lifetime or mine. Friends so powerful and exciting only the truest of CHRISTIANs await. It will be the day, that when that day approaches, the song in our hearts will sing, Ain't No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down, FRIENDS IF THAT AIN'T ENOUGH TO GET YOU EXCITED AIN'T NOTHING GONNA.

In the book of Revelation, there are 7 churches (In Rev 1 vs 11) of Asia, even though you can look and see they were actual churches, they Biblically represent 7 church ages, beginning with the early church after his assention. Whether any one wants to believe it we are in the 7th church age and have been there for a while, it is slowly coming to the end. My belief is that God sees the church of today. He has seen it when was on fire, and He has seen it in a time of almost extinction. He says you are neither cold nor hot you are lukewarm meaning you are just there, I will spew, or cast you aside or it will be as I never knew you, because you think your rich large in size. What more do we need to do? That you are blind to the fact you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, in other words you have lost your very purpose and meaning. He is pleading with them to counsel or rediscover the gold tried by fire, (find Jesus again), that you may be truly richly dressed in white raiment and people wont see you for what you are, and to anoint their eyes with eye salve to remove the scales from their eyes that they may see their mistakes. He says whom I love are those whom I chasten and rebuke. Friends I believe God is saying that to the church world today. That we need to get back to the service of God doing the things that it takes to not only service him but to do the service. He is saying to us all just because you may have a thousand people congregation or a 25 people congregation that we need to be on fire, rededicate our lives to Jesus Christ and uncover our eyes to see what needs to be done. Now I might have missed the boat on some of this and if I have feel free to correct me, I'm not beyond correction. But the days a coming my friends, whether it be morning, noon, or night. SOME SAY HE'LL COME LIKE A THIEF, WELL, call it what you want, there will be nothing secret about it. Never figured out how Jesus could be put into the same category as a thief, (He only used it as an illustration), but a lot of church going people have Him there. Sorry, the rapture theory is (hog wash), tell ya what I'll do, while ya'll are waiting in secret for Jesus the THIEF, I'll be waiting with others for that day when Jesus burst the clouds of Glory with ten thousand saints by His side, the souls of those who had been taken to Heaven where the soul goes back to when one dies.. My bible tells me in Revelations that every, every eye shall see Jesus. So friends and neighbors, when you hear the sounding of the trumpet in the air, and that great resurrecting power begins to rumble and graves burst open again. We can all sing that song, ain't no grave gonna hold our bodies down.

Friends rejoice if your name is written in the Lambs book of life, and if you have the slightest of doubt it isn't, its not to late, til the trumpet sounds, and one other thing, lets go out singing with the saints ain't no grave gonna hold our bodies down.

thanks again, jesseb's anything goes.

Shalom and Peace to Israel.
