Thankful for freedom from the Patriot and Jesus shedding their own blood...

Dear fellow American Citizens

 

I want to take a few moments of your time to remember why America is great at these times of thanksgiving:

 

America is great because of the written rule of law established by our founding fathers

1.       Risked their own lives, liberty, in freeing us and themselves in their pursuit of happiness

2.       Signed the declaration of independence that declares we are all equal under our Creator

3.       Shed blood…their own and the lives of the tyrants they overthrew for liberty

America is great because of the fallen soldier who died so we can sleep at peace at night

1.       How many of us live in the memory of a fallen soldier or family member

2.       How many us know a brave volunteer willing to die to free ithers from evil

3.       The American Soldier shed his blood so we can sleep at peace at night

America is great because of the Freedoms guaranteed by the constitution and amendments

1.       America is great because great men and women have left us a written rule of law

2.       The first amendment:

a.       Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

3.       The Second Amendment:

a.       A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

 

I am grateful for the lives that have sacrificed so much so we can sleep in peace at night.

I am so grateful for the written rule of law that guarantees my freedoms here in America.

I am so grateful to the American Soldier and volunteers who stand against evil so we can live in peace.

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ who shed His blood so we can be forgiven and reconciled to You our Creator.

 

Prayer

Father I am thankful for the United States where I live, the Constitution, and the men and women that sustain the freedoms and rights guaranteed by the Constitution please meet our soul’s deepest needs and may the Constitution reign supreme here in America…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Money should be your servant not your boss…

Money should be your servant not your boss…

Now at that time, one came to Him and said, "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except one—God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments." (Jesus seeing if he meant to call Him God or just a phrase he used) (Here is the minimum requirements of a Jew to go to heaven…)

 Then he said to Him, "Which?" And Jesus said, " 'You shall not commit murder'; 'You shall not commit adultery'; 'You shall not steal'; 'You shall not bear false witness'; 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' " The young man said to Him, "I have kept all these things from my youth.

What do I yet lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you desire to be perfect, go and sell your property, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come and follow Me." But after hearing this word, the young man went away grieving, because he had many possessions. (would you do the same…Jesus invited him to become the 13 Apostle…but he loved his stuff more)

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is extremely difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

But after hearing this, the disciples were greatly astonished and said, "Who then is able to be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible”...Matthew 19:16-26

 

For those who desire to become rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which cause men to sink into destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all evils; by which some, while striving after riches, were seduced from the faith, and have impaled themselves with many sorrows...1 Timothy 6:9-10.

 

Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves break through and steal; But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also...Matthew 6:19-21.

 

How many rich folks do not love their neighbor as their own selves…How many rich folks wake up and think how can I gain treasure in Heaven today instead of having their mind on their money and their money on their mind? Really we should ask how much do I keep instead of how much do I give…

 

Prayer

Father please help us to not love money and meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper in your kingdom and be in health…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.



Jesus prescription for forgiveness…

Jesus prescription for forgiveness…

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass (sin) against thee, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you hast gained your brother. But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as a heathen man and a publican…

…Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask (concerning the reconciliation achieved) it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of (Jesus Judgement for forgiveness will be the result) them...Matthew 18:15-20.

 

Here we have Jesus’ way we must find forgiveness…

The first step is to tell the brother you done me wrong…if he asks how he can make it right or if he asks for forgiveness then reconciliation has been achieved. How many people go around offended and never let someone know they have been trespassed against or think they know they did me wrong and never tell the person what they have done.

 

The Second step…

Go find two or three witnesses that truth may be established…I would get someone they respect like their mom or dad or child…then repeat the matter. If he says sorry or forgive me or his the 5 dollars I stole…how can I make it right…then forgiveness has been achieved and the process ends. How many people do not consider what it will take for a hard heart to offer repentance so that reconciliation can be achieved.

 

The third step…

is to establish the matter in front of the church…so other Christians can avoid a person who will not do right. Jesus is there in midst trying to reconcile the matter and you are using the best method known. When reconciliation has been achieved then Jesus will move Heaven and earth to accomplish it.

 

For example say George stole 100 dollars but cannot repay…I need the 100 dollars to pay rent…He says I cannot give you the money back on the first attempt. When I carry two or three people with me and they find out he admitted to stealing but cannot repay…one of them or all of them will help come up with the 100 dollars for my rent…or say it goes beyond step two and in front of the church the matter is repeated…perhaps the church will give the 100 dollars needed which was stolen to pay my rent…Jesus will see it through until forgiveness and reconciliation is achieved or until the hard hearted person will be marked as a person that will not repent and obey the teachings of Jesus…and the church then will meet the needy Christian’s need. What ever the outcome Jesus will move heaven and earth to reconcile two Christians…where one has sinned against the other.

 

Prayer

Father help us apply the prescription remedy and cure for forgiveness and reconciliation…and help us be faithful and not sin against other Christians…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
