Hello everyone and God bless you all!  It is a beautiful Sunday here in Colorado and my family and I are just relaxing today.  I took that photo of the double rainbow last Sunday.  We had been getting some good rain and it is always cool to see two rainbows like that.  Seeing rainbows reminds me of God’s promises.  Not just His promise to never again flood the world, but all of His promises.  His promise to be loving and forgiving never changes and it reminds me that we are never too far gone to turn to Jesus!

“You are forgiving and good,

O Lord,

abounding in love to all

who call to you.”

Psalm 86:5

Remember that today wherever you are at in life.  No matter how bad you have sinned, you can always turn to the Lord!  Whether you have never walked with Jesus or you walked with Jesus for a time and have stumbled and you feel like you can’t come back.  Don’t believe that lie!  You can come back and Jesus wants you to come back!  If you have never known Him, He wants to know you!  He wants to save your soul!

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:23-24

Even now He is drawing you into a relationship with Him!  God loves you!  He loves you so much that He died for you on a cross to forgive you and give you eternal life!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8

No matter what you have done, come to Jesus!  Jesus is not going to condemn you.  He is going to love you and heal you with His deep love and forgiveness!  He died for us to set us free from sin and death!

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he to shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death–that is, the devil–and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”

Hebrews 2:14-15

“Blessed are they

whose transgressions are

forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man

whose sin the Lord will

never count against

him.”

Hebrews 4:7-8

Many of us have walked with Jesus for many years, yet we still don’t fully grasp the depth of God’s forgiveness.  Do we fully understand that our sins are completely covered in the Blood of Jesus Christ and we are perfectly forgiven?  It is never too late to turn to Jesus!  As long as you have breath in your lungs, you are alive and there is great hope!  You are never too far gone to turn to Jesus!  He is waiting for you with open arms to wrap you in a loving embrace and once you are His, nothing can snatch you out of His hand!

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”

Jesus speaking in John 10:28-30.

Come to Jesus!  Lay down your burdens and sins at the foot of the cross and let Him lift you up in the power of the Holy Spirit!  Jesus is the answer and He is calling you home!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28-30

As the Apostle Paul so boldly said in the power of the Holy Spirit:

“Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.”

Acts 13:38

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

Blessed are those who believe in Jesus and trust Him fully to forgive their sins!  Jesus died for every sin that has been or ever will be committed and none of us are ever too far gone to come to Jesus!  Rest in His forgiveness and be at peace.  If you have strayed, please come back.  You will find Jesus is still loving and forgiving and He never left you and He never will!

Grace and peace to you all!

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:9

…because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;

never will I forsake

you.”

Hebrews 13:5

 

 

Today is September 13, 2019.  It is Friday the 13th.  Here in America, that is a day of wicked superstition and many people are already gearing up for the evil celebration called Halloween.  Let me ask you a few questions.  Think back to when you were in 8th grade at about 12 or 13 years old.  That was ’91 for me.  Can you imagine living in a house that was possessed by a demon at that age?  Can you imagine living in that house your entire four years of High School?  Would you and your family have been terrified?  Can you imagine the kinds of memories you would still have?  Would you still like superstitious evil including days that celebrate evil?  Would you still think it is a joke?  I don’t know what your answers would be, but I know what mine are because me and my family suffered it.

Evil is not a joke!  Please don’t mess around with evil!  I plead with you to take it seriously and heed the testimonies of those who have encountered it, including mine!

My testimony: One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life

To those in America and everywhere else they show Hollywood movies, be mindful of what is coming through your TVs!  The wicked who control the media will be showing all kinds of filthy movies from the horror genre today.  I strongly encourage you to not watch that spiritual evil!  Do not let it into your mind or your heart and do not let it flow into your homes!  We are in a spiritual war and you better believe there are those in Hollywood who worship the evil one and their movies are demonic.  Cast them out of your minds and hearts, out of your homes, and out of your lives!  Jesus is Lord!  Let Him rule in your heart!

“Above all else, guard your heart,

for it is the wellspring of life.”

Proverbs 4:23

That demon tormented our family for 4 years!  There are no ghosts!  There are angels and demons.  Angels serve God and minister to those who are to inherit salvation.  They are beautiful and mighty and I praise God they protect those who believe in Jesus!  Demons serve the evil one and they masquerade and manifest in many different ways with terrifying trickery.  Both can touch and move physical things in our physical realm.  I have experienced both!  Stay far away from evil!  Run to Jesus!

“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

Hebrews 1:14

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”

2 Corinthians 11:14

Living with that evil changed the course of my entire life and I almost didn’t survive it.  I was highly suicidal in high school because of it and had severe depression.  Our whole family was terrified!  I praise Jesus for rescuing our whole family!

Listen to me, if you don’t know Jesus, then you have no power over evil.  I plead with you to not mess around with it!  If you ever find yourself in a situation where a demon enters your life, you better run to Jesus!  He is the only One who can save you!

After I received Jesus my freshman year in college, I went back home that Christmas break and cast that demon out of our house in the Name of Jesus!  Many of you know this, but a lot of the new readers don’t.  That is why I am so on fire for Jesus!  Not only from that, but also from the angels I encountered in ’98 and the miracle the Lord did to save my life in 2012!  Jesus is alive and it is all very real folks!

You can also read my testimony about the demon, the angels, and the miracle here:

Remember that time when…

My Lazarus Moment

Heaven is real.  Hell is real.  Angels are real.  Demons are real.  Sin is real.  God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are real and so is the evil one!  The spiritual war is real!  We all need to make a choice.  I didn’t want to believe it either.  Before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, all I wanted to do is party.  Trust me when I say, that I have sinned greatly in my life and I am so thankful for God’s grace and mercy.  God took a man who hated Him and hated His people and turned me into a Gospel preaching man of God!  He cast that demon out of my life and my family’s lives and we all came to Jesus because of it!  Thank You Jesus!!!

Remember that next time you see a commercial for some sick freaky movie about demons or hell or whatever other sick evil things they show.  It is not a joke and I plead with you to rebuke it out of your lives!  Learn from me.  Learn from the terror we went through, and realize that our only way to be delivered from sin and death is by faith in Jesus Christ!  Jesus is the only reason that our family is free and we will cling to Him forever!  Thank You Jesus, You are Lord!!!

Grace and peace to you all in the Powerful Name of Jesus!

 

 

Good morning everyone and God bless you all!  God is moving in power!  I want to share an update with you from Samaritan’s Purse on their relief efforts in the Bahamas.  Last week Franklin Graham’s ministry airlifted an Emergency Field Hospital to the Bahamas and it is already in full operation helping people daily!  God is so good!

Here is an email I received yesterday from Samaritan’s Purse:

“The Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Field Hospital in Freeport, Grand Bahama, opened yesterday following the catastrophic strike of Hurricane Dorian.  Our medical team there has already treated scores of patients and performed lifesaving surgery.

We deployed the field hospital via our DC-8 aircraft late last week, at the request of the the World Health Organization and the Bahamas government.  Our team of relief specialists, including doctors and nurses, worked day and night to set up the 40-bed facility so that patients could be seen as soon as possible.  The regional hospital in Freeport was flooded by the storm, and nearly all of its medical equipment and supplies were damaged.

Up to 100 patients per day can be served at our field hospital.  It is equipped with an intensive care unit, operating room, emergency room, obstetrics ward, and a full pharmacy.

Elsewhere in the Bahamas, we continue distributions of emergency relief items, including household water filters and tarps, to the Abaco Islands and other devastated areas.

Please continue to pray for the thousands of people who have lost so much and for our teams as they serve in Jesus’ Name to bring relief and share the hope of the Gospel.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1″

-Franklin Graham, President

That is incredible, praise God!  Please pray for all the ministry teams that are helping people in the Bahamas!  Please don’t forget that the people of the Bahamas are going to need our help for quite awhile.  God is with them and He is bringing healing and comfort even now.

Samaritan’s Purse Hurricane Dorian Relief

Thank you Jesus for the ministry of Samaritan’s Purse!  Thank You for the amazing field hospital and for helping so many people with excellent professional medical care!  Please anoint the doctors in the power of the Holy Spirit and bless the work of their hands as they bring healing and hope!  Bless all the ministry teams Lord and deliver them from the evil one!  Lift up the people of the Bahamas Lord and bring great healing and peace!  May you be with them all in strength and power and glorify Your Name through them, amen!

People of the Bahamas, God is with you and He loves you!

Grace and peace to you all!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

 

 

Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile know that I am passionate about speaking the truth.  I speak the truth about Jesus and I also speak the truth about political and social issues of our time.  God wants us to be in the truth about all things.  He does not want us living under lies.  Today is September 11th, 2019.  It has been 18 years since the terrible attacks on our country and we still mourn and remember all those who were lost.  I believe the best way to honor the 2,977 Americans that were killed that day is to bring justice to the people who killed them.  In remembrance of all those who lost their lives that day, I would like to introduce you to an organization of brilliant architects and engineers who have been working for many years towards that righteous goal.

“Evil men do not understand

justice,

but those who seek the

Lord understand it

fully.”

Proverbs 28:5

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth was founded in 2006 by 30 year veteran architect Richard Gage.  Their core mission is to bring truth and justice to the heinous crime of 9/11.  The Lord has blessed their efforts and they have made amazing progress through the judicial system.  I have been keeping up with their initiatives, buying their booklets and sharing them, and speaking the truth about the evidence they have presented for many years now.  2019 has been a big year for them and we are closer than ever to bringing justice to the traitors who committed the treasonous murders of 9/11!

“Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth) is a non-profit organization of architects, engineers, and affiliates dedicated to establishing the truth about the events of September 11, 2001.

We pursue our mission by conducting research and educating the public about the scientific evidence related to the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers and by working with victims’ families and other activists to advocate for a new investigation.

At the heart of our work is a deeply-held conviction that establishing the truth is essential to achieving justice for the murder of nearly 3,000 people that day.  Furthermore, we believe that an honest public accounting of 9/11 is the only way to bring about genuine and lasting change to the system that enabled this atrocity to take place and to the sweeping policies enacted in its aftermath.”

-AE911Truth.org/mission

I will never forget what happened that day and I want justice!  I love my country and I have been crying out to the Lord for many years to bring justice!  I am 41 years old now.  I was 23 when 9/11 happened.  I was off of work that Tuesday morning because I sold cars and worked on Saturdays.  My wife was still in college and as she was leaving for class, she yelled up to me from the parking lot of our apartment that something was going on in New York.  I turned on the TV and watched the second plane hit live.  I ended up watching the news coverage all day.  My wife did not feel safe on campus, so she ended up coming back home and we stayed together for the rest of the day.

I will never forget the fighter jets racing back and forth across the sky here in Colorado.  Our state is a major military hub for defending our nation.  There are nuclear missile silos here as well as several major military bases.  NORAD is also here deep under Cheyenne Mountain, and that is where they brought the president and key members of his administration during 9/11.

I will never forget the people jumping out of windows either.  I still cry about all of it to this day.  It is very difficult to watch the images and when I do, it makes me sad and angry at the same time.  I cry out to the Lord and ask Him to bring truth, healing, and justice!

I have known the truth for many years because I thoroughly researched the evidence for many years.  Our country and the whole world needs to know the truth about 9/11!  Please look at the evidence!  The official government story of 9/11 is an absolute lie that even defies physics and the knowledge of architecture and engineering!  The truth about 9/11 is not a conspiracy theory!  The official government narrative is the conspiracy!  If all you know about 9/11 is from what the government fed you, then you don’t know the truth.

Out of all the research I have done over the years, the best presentation of evidence I have ever read regarding what truly happened to buildings 1, 2, and 7 is called “Beyond Misinformation” by AE911Truth.  I purchased a bunch of the paperback copies when it came out (and gave several to friends and family), but they also have an eBook version available as a free PDF download.  After reading the evidence for yourself, you will see that the official story is a lie and all three of those buildings were brought down by thermite explosives in a controlled demolition.

“Beyond Misinformation: What Science Says about the Destruction of World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2, and 7 is AE911Truth’s comprehensive, 50-page guide to the Word Trade Center evidence.

Filled with carefully compiled information, analysis, and references to dozens of scholarly papers and videos, Beyond Misinformation is both the perfect place to start one’s research and a valuable resource for those already immersed in the subject.”

I also support and pray for every one of their initiatives on AE911Truth.org:

University of Alaska Fairbanks WTC7 Study

Project Due Diligence

The Bobby McIlvaine Act

Grand Jury Investigation Project

FBI 9/11 Lawsuit

Please read about each one of their initiatives and pray justice is done!  One close to my heart is the Bobby McIlvaine Act.  Bobby McIlvaine was a 26 year old man who was killed by an explosion while entering the North Tower BEFORE the planes ever hit!  That’s right, BEFORE!  His Father Bob McIlvaine has been working tirelessly for the last two years petitioning Congress to pass the Act that would open a new investigation into 9/11.  Please click the link about it above and watch the video.  There is so much evidence against the official story of 9/11 and Congress needs to pass the Act!

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth has proved that all three buildings were brought down in previously planned controlled demolition.  They have proved that the official government narrative and the NIST report are lies.  There are currently over 3,000 architects and engineers worldwide that have signed their petition demanding a new investigation be opened into 9/11 based on AE911Truth’s evidence.  The truth is out now and justice will be done!  The petition is on their site and you can sign it as a member of the general public as well.  I signed it a long time ago and I was honored to add my name to the list of people who stand for the truth.  Please seek the truth and take a look at the evidence these highly skilled and intelligent men and women are presenting.  The families of all those who were killed and our entire country deserve to know the truth and have justice!

There will be a press conference this morning at 10 A.M. Eastern Time at the National Press Club in New York where first responders will urge Congress to reopen the 9/11 investigation.

“Tune in at 10 AM Eastern on September 11, 2019, when 9/11 first responders Chris Gioia and Joseph Torregrossa, both commissioners of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District in New York, will announce the launch of the “Justice for 9/11 Heroes” campaign at a news conference to be held at the National Press Club.  They will be joined by Bob and Helen McIlvaine, whose son Bobby was killed at the World Trade Center, as well as David Meiswinkle of the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry and architect Richard Gage of AE911Truth.”

-AE911Truth.org

You can watch the National Press Club news conference on their site at this link: AE911Truth News Conference

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  We need to honor the memories of all those who were killed by taking action and moving forward in truth and justice!  Everything that happened in our country after 9/11 was based on a lie!  The insane forever war, the right stripping Patriot Acts, the spying, the police state build up; all of it was based on a big giant lie!

Knowing the truth that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition is just one of many truths you need to know about that day.  9/11 was a false flag perpetrated by traitors who are working towards building a one world government for the evil one.  That is why they did it.  They want power.  That’s hard for people to hear, especially if they don’t believe in Heaven and hell.  The question of who did it goes much deeper down the rabbit hole than most people are willing to go and it is something I could write an entire blog on.

Sound crazy?  Don’t believe it?  I say to you, don’t be so quick to scoff if you haven’t done the research.  You must see what is going on with spiritual eyes in the power of the Holy Spirit!  It is much bigger than the physical realm we live in.  The Lord has revealed who these wicked people are and what they are doing and He shows us how the enemy operates.  Seek the truth!

Just know that it all ties in with end times prophecies that we see rapidly approaching in our time.  There are those of us on earth who serve Jesus and there are those on earth that serve the evil one.  We are in a spiritual battle and 9/11 was a major attack designed to spark so much war and chaos worldwide that it would destroy our current order and birth their new world order.  You know them.  They are the ones that constantly speak of tearing down national sovereignty and borders and they love promoting depopulation.  Their motto is “Order out of chaos.”  We must fight back in our time and pray for revival!  Keep fighting the good fight and never give up!  Jesus is Lord and He is coming soon!

My prayers are with all the families who lost their loved ones that terrible day.  God is in control and He knows who is responsible for 9/11.  We do not need to fear them.  We need to trust in Jesus and pray!  He will bring justice to the wicked people who did this and He is on the move even now to bring it all to light!  May the Lord reveal the truth and may He bring justice and spread revival in our country and throughout the world!

Grace and peace to you all!

“Blessed are they who

maintain justice,

who constantly do what is

right.”

Psalm 106:3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone and God bless you all!  Today I would like to share something I read in God’s Word along with a few photos I took of a cool fog rolling over the front range of the Rockies.  I have been reading the Book of John and although I have read it many times, there was one particular verse that stood out after the scene with doubting Thomas.  John tells us plainly why he wrote what he did and I love the simplicity of his testimony!

After John has finished telling us everything He witnessed Jesus do from miracles to dying on the cross and rising from the dead, this is what he said:

“Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.  But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

John 20:30-31

Amen!  Everything John wrote in his testimony was written to help you believe in Jesus and have life through faith in Him!  I wonder what the other miraculous signs were that are not recorded!  Can you imagine?!  I encourage everyone in the whole world to read the Book of John in the Bible.  It is a beautiful and powerful testimony of Jesus’ life, miracles, death, and resurrection.  The words of the Bible are the most precious words ever written because they were written to save your soul!

“Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path.”

Psalm 119:105

God’s Word will light your way and guide you to salvation!  That is good news for us all!  Read the words that were written in the Bible and believe!  Eternal life is being offered to you through faith in Jesus!

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12

God’s Word leads you to the light and the light is Jesus Christ!  Jesus is the light of life and the light of the world!  Believe in Jesus and you will have His glorious light flowing inside of you by the power of the Holy Spirit!

“On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

John 7:37-38

The Bible was written, so that you would believe and be saved!  Don’t ever forget that!  God loves you and the only thing God requires for you to be saved is to believe in Jesus!  There are no works that could ever save us.  Only Jesus can forgive our sins and save us!  We must believe in Jesus!

“Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

John 6:28-29

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16-18

“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

Jesus speaking in John 5:24

May every believer in Jesus Christ testify to what He has done in their lives, so that many more can believe and receive God’s amazing gift of eternal life!  We testify, so that the world will believe!  I testify that Jesus is alive and moving in power among us still today!  Everything written in my book and on this blog is to help you believe in Jesus, so that you too may have life in His Name!

Grace and peace to you all!

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone and God bless you all!  I received a prayer request this morning from a friend of mine on Twitter who is a preacher in India.  He is a loving brother in Christ and he has a heart for reaching the lost.  He told me there has been a change in power in the Indian government and they just passed an anti-conversion law in the state where he lives.  Please pray for our brother in Christ and all the brothers and sisters that are sharing the Gospel in India!

Here is a news article about the new anti-conversion law that was passed on August 30th, 2019: Indian State Passes Dangerous ‘Anti-Conversion Law’

“William Stark, ICC’s Regional Manager, said, “International Christian Concern is deeply disappointed by the passage of this legislation.  These laws are widely abused by radical Hindu nationalists due to the legal ambiguity within the laws themselves.  These laws provide an easy justification for radicals to attack Christian leaders with impunity.  One simply needs to claim a pastor was engaged in forceful conversions following an assault.  As a result, instead of the pastor’s assailants being arrested, it’s the assailed pastor who is sent to jail.  With attacks on Indian Christians continuing to escalate, the passage of a stricter anti-conversion law will only incite more religiously motivated violence.”

-International Christian Concern, Persecution.org

“The Christian community of Himachal Pradesh fears that the new law will provide legal cover for religiously motivated violence perpetrated by radical Hindu nationalists.

“We are not worried about the law itself as Christians abide by the law anyway,” Pastor Vinod, who leads a congregation of 450 church members in Nalagarh, told ICC.  “However, we are seriously worried about the misuse of this law.”

“The law directly targets the Christian community,” Pastor Vinod said.  “It is a real concern for our lives and particularly for the house churches who are in much danger.”

-ICC, Persecution.org

I asked him if Christianity had been made illegal in all of India, and he said, “It’s almost illegal after the anti-Christian government has come to power.”  I don’t know all the details and I’m no expert on Indian politics, but the new people in power are passing laws that can be used to persecute Christians and the world needs to know about it.  My American brothers and sisters in Christ, can you imagine if they passed such a law here?!

We all know the world will hate us because it hated Jesus first and we all know that persecution is part of following Him.  It’s bad enough that those who hate God in our country pass laws to kick God out of everything!  They would love to ban us from society completely!  Let us never forget there are many countries that are hostile to Christ and that is exactly what they do to Christians and worse!  For more information on Christian persecution around the world and how you can help and pray, please visit the ministry of “The Voice of the Martyrs” at www.persecution.com.  Our persecuted brothers and sisters need our help!

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.  If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.  As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.  That is why the world hates you.”

Jesus speaking in John 15:18-19

I had not talked with my friend for several months as we lost touch over the summer.  I could tell he wanted to talk about something important.  Right away he said,

“Please pray for my state.  A law is passed against conversion.”

I wrote him back and said,

“I will be praying fervently brother!  The Lord is with you and He will guide and protect you!  It has not come to that yet here in the United States, but it is getting much worse.  The secularism, immorality, and evil worship in my country is heartbreaking.  Many here hate God and they hate those who love Him too.  So many babies have been killed here in my country and it is so sinful and vile.  I pray for great revival all around the world brother and we know that nothing is impossible for God!  I truly pray the Lord pours out His Holy Spirit on all of India!  I will write about this on my blog and let people know to pray!  God bless you and all the brothers and sisters there!  2 Timothy 4:18.”

Please pray for our brother in Christ and all those who preach the good news about Jesus in India!  To all my friends in India, Christianity is not a threat to you and Christians are not a threat to you.  God is loving you and caring for you when He sends Christian ministers to your area!  They come in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring healing and the truth of eternal life to you!  Jesus loves you and He died for you to set you free from sin and death!  Do not reject God’s blessings by discriminating against Christians and targeting them for persecution!  Receive God’s love with joy!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

“for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13

May the Lord give every believer in Jesus Christ around the world great strength to endure and stand firm unashamed!  We must keep preaching the truth and warning people!  We are with you and all the believers in India, brother!  We love you all and we are covering you in prayer!  May the Lord spread great revival through India and the whole world, amen!

Grace and peace to you all!

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”

Romans 1:16

“The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.  To him be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.”

2 Timothy 4:18

 

 

 

 

 

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.  I agree.  I want to share a picture with you that I saw yesterday for the first time.  Many of you may have seen it already, but it is worth looking at again.  This picture uses imagery to preach the Gospel and it is beautiful!  God bless you all!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

That picture speaks the Truth of John 14:6, which is a strong statement of finality and hope!  No one, meaning every person who has ever lived (including you and me), will be able to come to the Father in Heaven, except through Jesus!  We have all been scarred by sin and we all need a Savior.  No amount of effort or “good works” will ever be enough to get us to the Father.  Without Jesus we will fall short of God’s glory every time.  We can never make it to Heaven on our own!  We desperately need Jesus!

“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:22-24

“For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16-18

We are justified before God by faith in Jesus Christ alone!  We cannot earn our way into Heaven and if we try to, we will fall short and end up paying the wages of sin ourselves.  That is a price that we cannot pay!  Jesus died for us that by His wounds we would be healed!  Jesus is reaching out to you!  You don’t have to be condemned!  Please take His hand and be saved!

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”

1 Peter 2:24

“But he was pierced for our

transgressions,

he was crushed for our

iniquities;

the punishment that

brought us peace was

upon him,

and by his wounds we are

healed.”

Isaiah 53:5

Take a look at the picture again and read John 14:6.  Does that look like and sound like we can earn our way into Heaven?  Can that man floundering in the water boast that he did something to save himself?  No, he is desperately reaching out to the only One who can save him!  There is no boasting in Heaven and no amount of works will ever get you there.  We are justified by faith.  Faith in who?  Only faith in Jesus!  It is His blood alone that forgives our sins!

“God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.  He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished–he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.  Where, then, is boasting?  It is excluded.  On what principle?  On that of observing the law?  No, but on that of faith.  For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.”

Romans 3:25-28

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

Galatians 2:21

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Ephesians 2:8-9

You take His hand by faith!  Believe in Jesus and be saved!  Let Him rescue you out of sin and death!  None of us can pay the price for our sin!  Death is eternal separation from God in the lake of fire full of weeping and gnashing of teeth!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

“for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13

There is only One God and there is only One Way to Him.  Consider the words of finality Jesus spoke regarding coming to the Father and choose eternal life over death!  Let Jesus save you!  He will bring you safely home to Heaven!

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.”

1 Timothy 2:5-6

“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”

1 John 5:11-12

“The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.  To him be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.”

2 Timothy 4:18

Amen!  To Jesus be the glory for ever and ever!  Not us!  Not our works before or after accepting Christ!  Just Jesus!  To Jesus be the glory for ever and ever, amen!  Faith in Jesus is our only hope of eternal life!

To my brothers and sisters in Christ, remember, any good works you do after accepting Christ are NOT being done to earn your salvation!  Any and all good works we do as believers are being done by the power of the Holy Spirit inside of us and they were prepared in advance by God for us to do.  They are for His glory alone, not our salvation!  We could never earn our salvation and we can’t lose it once we believe!  Our salvation is a gift from God that was bought and paid for in full by the Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen!

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.  Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory.”

Ephesians 1:13-14

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.  And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.”

Romans 5:1-2

Grace and peace to you all!

“I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”

Jesus speaking in John 10:28-30

 

 

 

 

Good morning everyone and God bless you!  Most of us have seen the devastation in the Bahamas caused by Hurricane Dorian.  The images are heartbreaking and the people need our help!  We need to be in prayer and we need to take action!  Praise God for the ministry of Samaritan’s Purse that has already airlifted emergency supplies and the hope of the Gospel to the Bahamas as of 9 a.m Eastern Time today!  The Lord is loving and good and He is on the move!

Here is an email I received from Franklin Graham’s ministry late yesterday:

“Samaritan’s Purse has loaded our DC-8 full of emergency supplies to airlift to the Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian’s catastrophic strike on the islands.  The deadly Category 5 storm pummeled the archipelago with sustained winds of 185 mph, destroying thousands of homes and inundating entire communities.  At its full strength, Dorian was one of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record.

Our plane is loaded with emergency shelter material, household water filters, and two community filtration units that turn saltwater into drinking water.

Still a dangerous Category 2 storm, Dorian is threatening the East Coast from Florida to the Carolinas.  Our staff and entire fleet of disaster relief units are ready to respond in Jesus’ Name as soon as the storm passes.  Once we’re on the ground, our volunteer teams will begin tarping roofs, cutting trees, and cleaning out flooded homes.

Please pray for the thousands of people who have already lost so much and for those who are still in Dorian’s path.  Pray also for our teams as they work around the clock to bring relief and to share the hope of the Gospel.

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham

President, Samaritan’s Purse”

Here is the update this morning:

“Update (9:01 a.m., Sept. 4): Samaritan’s Purse is sending tons of emergency relief to the Bahamas aboard our DC-8 aircraft this morning.

The plane left Greensboro, North Carolina, around 9 a.m. carrying emergency shelter material, household water filters, and two community filtration units that turn saltwater into drinking water.  More than a dozen of our disaster response team specialists are onboard as well.

Samaritan’s Purse is also sending a small plane and helicopter to support our work and allow team members to access hard-to-reach areas.

“Families in the Bahamas are suffering and millions of others are bracing for Dorian’s impact as the storm continues to move,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse.  “Please join me in praying for everyone affected by this hurricane, and for our teams as we respond in Jesus’ Name.”

My wife and I have supported and prayed for the Graham family ministries for years and the work the Lord does through them is awesome!  If you would like to donate to Samaritan’s Purse to assist in helping the people of the Bahamas, please click the link below:

Samaritan’s Purse Hurricane Dorian Relief

If you live in the Bahamas and the surrounding affected areas, please know that you are not alone!  God is with you and help is on the way!  Millions of God’s people are praying protection and blessing over you and the Lord is sending healing and relief!  God loves you all!  Never give up hope!

Please pray with me:

“Please Lord Jesus, pour out Your Holy Spirit on the people of the Bahamas!  Pour out Your great healing and bring peace!  Stop the storm Lord and protect all those still in its path!  Bless the relief efforts and let all the supplies get to the people safely!  Heal wounds Lord, comfort hearts, give them strength, and may they come to know You as their Lord and Savior through this!  May Your will be done in all things Lord, amen!”

May God’s people rise up and shine the love and compassion of the Lord in times like these!  May His Name be glorified and may many souls be saved!  Thank You Jesus for loving and caring for all people!

Grace and peace to you all!

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”

1 John 3:16-18

 

Believers in Jesus Christ, please listen to this!  If anybody has ever made you doubt your salvation, please rebuke that lie and trust in Jesus!  Your salvation was paid in full when He said “It is finished” on that cross!  Our salvation is by God’s grace through faith in Jesus alone and we can fully trust in Jesus and all His promises!  Jesus gives us eternal life and we will never perish!  Jesus is our Lord and Savior and no one can snatch us out of His hand!

Truly hide that truth deep in your heart and trust in Him.  That one promise alone is all we need to rest assured that Jesus will never leave us and our salvation is 100% secure in Him!  Rest in Jesus and be at peace!

I could say so much more, but I want you to focus intently on Jesus and that one promise!  We live by faith, we are justified by faith, and we are saved by faith in Jesus alone!  May we always trust our Savior with all of our hearts and give Him the praise and glory He deserves!

Grace and peace to you all!

 

Hello everyone and God bless you all!  It is September 1st and it was a beautiful sunny 91 degrees here in Colorado today.  I have been enjoying good time with my wife and kids, so this will just be a short Sunday post.  Thought I would share a few photos I took this summer along with a few powerful verses regarding God’s mercy.  Enjoy!

I always like seeing hot air balloons!  This one was taking off just after sunrise on Friday morning.  They didn’t go up very high and they landed shortly after I took the photos.  It was so peaceful watching them just float through the sky in the stillness of the morning.

The hawks hunt the open space behind our house every day.  It’s cool to hear them make their piercing sound as they soar through the clouds.  It’s been a good summer and I am very thankful for all the wonders of God’s creation!

I was reading Titus this afternoon and I love the way Paul explains why and how God saved us.  Let this remind us that God is kind, loving, merciful, and gracious to us!  Let this remind us that we are not saved because of anything we have done or could ever do!  We are saved because of His mercy!

“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.  He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.”

Titus 3:4-7

Praise God for His kindness, love, mercy, and grace that He has poured out on the whole world by offering salvation through faith in Jesus!  Because of His mercy, anyone in the entire world can become an heir to Heaven!  Praise God and rejoice!  That is the greatest hope of all!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

Grace and peace to you all!

P.S.

We are praying for everyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian!  The Lord’s protection and blessing be with you all!
