Conclusion: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor heights, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in CHRIST JESUS, our LORD. –Romans 8:38-39

Do not profane the Name of Jesus Christ!

God's name is often taken in vain by the sinful world. Our society is filled with the wicked people who curse and profane in God's name, make jokes in his name every day shamelessly, deliberately and sinfully breaking one of the most important Ten Commandments. Many Godless people promoting movies, TV shows, books which glorify sin instead of glorifying Jesus Christ disrespecting our Lord Jesus Christ by swearing, blaspheming him in his name , mock and attack his name. Acts 4:10-12 tell us that salvation can ONLY be found in the NAME OF JESUS. Jesus Christ was God Almighty manifest in the flesh(Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 7:14, John 1:1)

The people who make fun of Jesus name do not love Jesus. They have rejected Jesus Christ removed the precious name of Jesus from their bibles, mocked Jesus on media, banned Jesus from the schools and hated anyone who loves Jesus (John 15:19).

Jesus name is so precious because His name is above every other name (Philippians 2:9 – 11), there is salvation in his name (Acts 4:12), there is remission of sins in his name (Acts 10:43), There is healings in His name (Acts 3:6), There is safety in His name (Proverbs 18:10), there is Eternal Life in his name (John 10:28).

When Jesus lived on earth, he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, was mocked and beaten whipped, stricken, spat upon by the soldiers as they dressed Him in a purple robe and a crown of thorns through the night and hours proceeding His grueling trek to Calvary where nails were driven through His hands and feet, where the opened, bloody flesh of His back was placed against a wooden cross, where the people mocked Him and told Him to come down if He were the Son of God. After Jesus had hung on the cross for several hours, he forgave the soldiers who had crucified him (Luke 23:34; Luke 23:35) and voluntarily gave up his life (John 10:18), commending his spirit into his Father's hands.

Isaiah tells us that "he bore our grief's and carried our sorrows; that he was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities; that the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him; that by his stripes we are healed" He redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13).

Jesus died for us To show God's love for sinners, To show his own love for us, To bring us to God, To give eternal life to all who believe on Him, to Take Away Our Condemnation, To Free Us from the Slavery of Sin, To Give Marriage Its Deepest Meaning, To Free Us from Bondage to the Fear of Death and To Rescue Us from Final Judgment.

We are to tolerate all that is good (Amos 5:15) and to detest all that is evil (Romans 12:9) but sadly we approve or tolerate things that God hates instead of exposing or Confronting Evil. God wants us to hate evil and cling to what is good (Rom 12:9).We are not to tolerate wickedness, injustice, evil blasphemers who mock God and inferior heathenic values of the Godless world

Here is what the scriptures give us warning:

If anyone does not love the Lord--a curse be on him. Come, O Lord! 1 Corinthians 16:22

Exodus 20:7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Leviticus 19:12 "'Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

Deuteronomy 5:11You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Psalm 139:20:For they speak wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

Isaiah 52:5:And now what do I have here?" declares the LORD. "For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock," declares the LORD. "And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed.

Romans 2:24 As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles.

Ezekiel 36:23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.

Conclusion: we know that the enemy of God blasphemes Jesus name .As a true believers and true followers of Christ we need to stand for our Lord Jesus Christ, honor his name because his name is sacred and holy . We have an obligation to see that Gods name and his doctrine is not blasphemed (1 Timothy 6:1) and we need to rebuke the one who misuses his name.

Letter to Parents!

“Teach a child to choose the right path, and when he is older, he will remain on it,” Proverbs 22:6.


The center for the teaching of God’s words to our children is in our homes. Parents need to present the salvation message to their children, teach them how to be in God’s plan, and explain how to have a relationship with God. This will prepare them for adulthood in our complicated world of today. Remember the future of their nation lies with the path our children and the children of their generation will choose.

This home teaching should begin at a very young age. You are the ones who have most access to your children. Read books to them, adding your thoughts when they apply. I have found the Arch books to be excellent, adding or deleting parts when changes are in order. You need to sing and speak about God and His plan.

Make the teaching a normal and natural part of their lives. A few simple songs are included along with these tips.

This time should be a happy and fun part of their lives. Make up songs and put them with familiar tunes. A sample would be — Row, Row, Row your boat, words — Believe, Believe, Believe the Lord! Do not be afraid! God’s provided all our needs, His promises He gave. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, words — Daniel’s in the lion’s Den, Hungry lions there with him. Daniel prays and does not fear, He knows the Lord is near. You can be a Daniel, too. Believe God takes care of you. Children are able to remember the training for a longer period of time when the words are connected with a tune.

As your children grow older and begin to ask questions, encourage their questions and answer them as honestly and as simply as you are able, using the children’s vocabulary. The children need to know about the Lord Jesus Christ taking care of their sin problem for them so that they are able to spend forever life in heaven with God. Communicate the salvation message, not overwhelming them or pressuring them into making a decision. Let the Holy Spirit prepare the soil in their souls and let them make their own decision to believe.

After the children believe, you need to explain they are now a part of God’s family forever and God has a special plan designed just for them. As part of this plan, God wants them to know more about Him and his promises for them. In order to know about God, the children need to be taught the stories about God that are found in the Bible (which is His letter to them.) Review with them the study guide messages from the “Letter from God” series for young people, adding your own thoughts and applying the stories to their lives. Have a fun time with your children with quiz questions. When your children need to think to answer the questions, they will remember the question and the answer.

Your children need to be trained in God’s thinking. They need to know about sin — the weed plants in their souls (soil) that make them do, say, or think wrong things.

Teach them the importance of the recovery procedure of I John 1:9. The sin nature of your children is the secret weapon of Satan that encourages your children to sin. You need to attack the fallen natures of your children by teaching them right from wrong. You need to feed the good-thinking-plants in their soil (souls) with God’s messages and your children will know that God is their best friend.

Explain to your children that they are able to talk or pray to God. Explain that they should use the recovery procedure first. “God will not listen unless they name their sins before they talk to God,” Psalm 66:18. As you pray with your children, remind them that God also will hear them when they only think the words because God is able to read the thoughts in their minds. Encourage your children to talk to God daily, looking to God, not humankind, for solutions to their problems.

Teach your children by your example. Let them see that you know and love God. Daily show that you are interested in God and His plan and in having a relationship with Him. Show your children how you apply the stored messages in your soul to your life. Children are always eager to learn and you need only patience and love to teach and encourage them. “You must teach the stories to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning,” Deuteronomy 6:7.

Praise to your children is a very important part of their lives. Praise your children for right behavior and a job well done. Encourage them when they make correct decisions and teach them they are responsible for their own choices. Your children will be happy when you notice their right actions and will realize that you love them. Praising right decisions and actions eliminates weak characteristics that come from their fallen natures.

Children need and want boundaries in their lives to guide them. They need to know the rules and what the right behavior is for them. Keep the rules simple and be consistent. Your children are all going to make mistakes because of their fallen natures. They also need to realize there is discipline connected with their wrong decisions and actions.

Your children also need training in good manners in order to be thoughtful and respectful of others. Good manners include obeying the authority of their parents, teachers, coaches and the laws of the land. Your children need to be taught how to be responsible and polite young people.

Talk to your children about death. Explain the real person lives in their soul and when they die their soul (the real person) leaves their body and is at home with the Lord in heaven forever. Be honest and gentle. Explain God gives us our life and God takes us home to heaven at the right time.

When you tuck your children in bed at night, help them memorize the verses to “Remember and Use in Your Daily Lives.” Remind them of who and what is the “Essence of God.” These are all found in the back of the messages in the “Letter From God” books. Sing a song with them as you tuck them in. Finish with talking to God and thanking God for all His blessings and His love for us.

It is Satan’s plan to distract us from traveling on God’s path. We as parents and extended family need to pray to God for guidance and direction in teaching our children. We need to put on God’s full armor and use our shield of faith (God’s stored messages in our souls, our true treasures in life). With our invisible armor and shield in place, we will have confidence that we are in God’s plan, traveling down God’s path, in a relationship with Him, and doing our best in training our children.

From time to time, we will all fail and make mistakes in this teaching process. We need to use the recovery procedure, move on determined not to give up, and keep trying as God the Holy Spirit stores more of God’s messages in our souls.

With God’s help, we will have a new generation of winners believers, with great leaders, that represent the Lord Jesus Christ on our planet. With courage, these winner believers will be under the guidance, protection, and provision of God. They will be relaxed, content, and happy while traveling on God’s highway, prepared to face their future problems on planet earth.

When a nation has a good supply of winner believers, the nation will be preserved.

100 Bible Facts Concerning the Sabbath

WHY keep the Sabbath day? What is the object of the Sabbath? Who made it? When was it made, and for whom? Which day is the true Sabbath? Many keep the first day of the week, or Sunday. What Bible authority have they for this? Some keep the seventh day, or Saturday. What Scripture have they for that? Here are the facts about both days, as plainly stated in the Word of God:

1. After working the first six days of the week in creating this earth, the great God rested on the seventh day. (Genesis 2:1.3.)

2. This stamped that day as God''s rest day, or Sabbath day, as Sabbath day means rest day. To illustrate: When a person is born on a certain day, that day thus becomes his birthday. So when God rested upon the seventh day, that day became His rest, or Sabbath, day.

3. Therefore the seventh day must always be God''s Sabbath day. Can you change your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on which you were not born? No. Neither can you change God''s rest day to a day on which He did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still God''s Sabbath day.

4. The Creator blessed the seventh day. (Genesis 2:3.)

5. He sanctified the seventh day. (Exodus 20:11.)

6. He made it the Sabbath day in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 2:1-3.)

7. It was made before the fall; hence it is not a type; for types were not introduced till after the fall.

8. Jesus says it was made for man (Mark 2:27), that is, for the race, as the word man is here unlimited; hence, for the Gentile as well as for the Jew.

9. It is a memorial of creation. (Exodus 20:11; 31:17.) Every time we rest upon the seventh day, as God did at creation, we commemorate that grand event.

10. It was given to Adam, the head of the human race. (Mark 2:27; Genesis 2:1-3.)

11. Hence through him, as our representative, to all nations. (Acts 17:26.)

12. It is'' not a Jewish institution, for it was made 2,300 years before ever there was a Jew.

13. The Bible never calls it the Jewish Sabbath, but always "the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Men should be cautious how they stigmatize God''s holy rest day.

14. Evident reference is made to the Sabbath and the seven-day week all, through the patriarchal age. (Genesis 2:l-3; 8:10,12; 29:27,28.etc.)

15. It was a part of God''s law before Sinai. (Exodus 16:4, 27-29.)

16. Then God placed it in the heart of His moral law. (Exodus 20:1-17.) Why did He place it there if it was not like the other nine precepts, which all admit to be immutable?

17. The seventh-day Sabbath was commanded by the voice of the living God. (Deuteronomy 4:12,13.)

18. Then He wrote the commandment with His own finger. (Exodus 31:18.)

19. He engraved it in the enduring stone, indicating its imperishable nature. (Deuteronomy 5:22.)

20. It was sacredly preserved in the ark in the holy of holies. (Deuteronomy 10:1-5.)

21. God forbade work upon the Sabbath, even in the most hurrying times. (Exodus 34:21.)

22. God destroyed the Israelites in the wilderness because they profaned the Sabbath. (Ezekiel 20:12, 13.)

23. It is the sign of the true God, by which we are to know Him from false gods. (Ezekiel 20:20.)

24. God promised that Jerusalem should stand forever if the Jews would keep the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:24, 25.)

25. He sent them into the Babylonish captivity for breaking it. (Nehemiah 13:18.)

26. He destroyed Jerusalem for its violation. (Jeremiah 17:27.)

27. God has pronounced a special blessing on all the Gentiles who will keep it. (Isaiah 56:6, 7.)

28. This is in the prophecy, which refers wholly to the Christian dispensation. (See Isaiah 56.)

29. God has promised to bless all who keep the Sabbath. (Isaiah 56:2.)

30. The Lord requires us to call it "honourable". (Isaiah 58:13.) Beware, ye who take delight in calling it the. “old Jewish Sabbath,” “a yoke of bondage,” etc.

31. After the holy Sabbath has been trodden down "many generations,” it is to be restored in the last days. (Isaiah 58:12,13.)

32. All the holy prophets kept the seventh day.

33. When the Son of God came, He kept the seventh day all His life. (Luke 4:16; John 15:10.) Thus He followed His Father''s example at creation. Shall we not be safe in following the example of both the Father and the Son?

34. The seventh day is the Lord''s Day. (See Revelation 1:10; Mark 2:28; Isaiah 58:13; Exodus 20:10.)

35. Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), that is, to love and protect it, as the husband is the lord of the wife, to love and cherish her (1 Peter 3:6.)

36. He vindicated the Sabbath as a merciful institution designed for man''s good. (Mark 2:23-28.)

37. Instead of abolishing the Sabbath, He carefully taught how it should be observed. (Matthew 13:1-13.)

38. He taught His disciples that they should do nothing upon the Sabbath day but what was “lawful” (Matthew 12:12.)

39. He instructed His apostles that the Sabbath should be prayerfully regarded forty years after His resurrection. (Matthew 24:20.)

40. The pious women who had been with Jesus carefully kept the seventh day after His death. (Luke 23:56.)

41. Thirty years after Christ''s resurrection, the Holy Spirit'' expressly calls it "the Sabbath day,"(Acts 13:14.)

42. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, called it the "Sabbath day" in A.D. 45. (Acts 13:27.) Did not Paul know? Or shall we believe modern teachers, who affirm that it ceased to be the Sabbath at the resurrection of Christ?

43. Luke, the inspired Christian historian, writing as late as A.D. 62, calls it the "Sabbath day." (Acts 13:44.)

44. The Gentile converts called it the Sabbath. (Acts 13:42.)

45. In the great Christian council, A.D.

49. In the presence of the apostles and thousands of disciples, James calls it the "Sabbath day." (Acts 15:21.)

46. It was customary to hold prayer meetings upon that day. (Acts 16:13.)

47. Paul read the Scriptures in public meetings on that day. (Acts 17:2, 3.)

48. It was his custom to preach upon that day. (Acts 17:2,3.)

49. The Book of Acts alone gives a record of his holding eighty-four meetings upon that day. (See Acts 13:14, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4. 11.)

50. There was never any dispute between the Christians and the Jews about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the Christians still observed the same day that the Jews did.

51. In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with disregarding the Sabbath day. Why did they not, if he did not keep it?

52. But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the law. “Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all." Acts 25:8. How could this be true if he had not kept the Sabbath?

53. The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament fifty-nine times, and always with respect, bearing the same title it had in the Old Testament, “the Sabbath day.”

54. Not a word is said anywhere in the New Testament about the Sabbath''s being abolished, done away, changed, or anything of the kind.

55. God has never given permission to any man to work upon it. Reader, by what authority do you use - the seventh day for common labor?

56. No Christian of the New Testament, either before or after the resurrection, ever did ordinary work upon the seventh day. Find one case of that kind, and we will yield the question. Why should modem Christians do differently from Bible Christians?

57. There is no record that God has ever removed His blessing or sanctification from the seventh day.

58. As the Sabbath was kept in Eden before the fall, so it will be observed eternally in the new earth after the restitution. (Isaiah 66:22, 23.)

59. The seventh-day Sabbath was an important part of the law of God, as it came from His own mouth, and was written by His own finger upon stone at Sinai. (See Exodus 20.) When Jesus began His work, He expressly declared that He had not come to destroy the law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets.” Matthew 5:17

60. Jesus severely condemned the Pharisees as hypocrites for pretending to love God, while at the same tune they made void one of the Ten Commandments by their tradition. The keeping of Sunday is only a tradition of men.



Forty Bible Facts Concerning the First Day of the Week

1. The very first thing recorded In the Bible is work done on Sunday, the first day of the week. (Genesis l: l-5.) The Creator Himself did this. If God made the earth on Sunday, can it be wicked for us to work on Sunday?

13. Christ never blessed it.

14. It has never been blessed by any divine authority.

17. The New Testament nowhere forbids work to be done on it.

18. No penalty is provided for its violation.

19. No blessing is promised for its observance.

Memorandum from God

This is from a book called The Greatest Miracle in the World, and it is really wonderful. It touches my heart every time I read it.



Memorandum from God

To: You From: God

Take counsel.



I hear your cry.



It passes through the darkness, filters through the clouds, mingles with starlight, and finds its way to my heart on the path of a sunbeam.



I have anguished over the cry of a hare choked in the noose of a snare, a sparrow tumbled from the nest of its mother, a child thrashing helplessly in a pond, and a son shedding his blood on a cross.



Know that I hear you, also. Be at peace. Be calm.



I bring thee relief for your sorrow for I know its cause ... and its cure.



You weep for all your childhood dreams that have vanished with the years.



You weep for all your self-esteem that has been corrupted by failure.



You weep for all your potential that has been bartered for security.



You weep for all your talent that has been wasted through misuse.



You look upon yourself with disgrace and you turn in terror from the image you see in the pool. Who is this mockery of humanity staring back at you with bloodless eyes of shame?



Where is the grace of your manner, the beauty of your figure, the quickness of your movement, the clarity of your mind, the brilliance of your tongue? Who stole your goods? Is the thief's identity known to you, as it is to me?



Once you placed your head in a pillow of grass in your father's field and looked up at a cathedral of clouds and knew that all the gold of Babylon would be yours in time.



Once you read from many books and wrote on many tablets, convinced beyond any doubt that all the wisdom of Solomon would be equaled and surpassed by you.



And the seasons would flow into years until lo, you would reign supreme in your own garden of Eden.



Dost thou remember who implanted those plans and dreams and seeds of hope within you?



You cannot.



You have no memory of that moment when first you emerged from your mother's womb and I placed my hand on your soft brow. And the secret I whispered in your small ear when I bestowed my blessings upon you?



Remember our secret?



You cannot.



The passing years have destroyed your recollection, for they have filled your mind with fear and doubt and anxiety and remorse and hate and there is no room for joyful memories where these beasts habitate.



Weep no more. I am with you ... and this moment is the dividing line of your life. All that has gone before is like unto no more than that time you slept within your mother's womb. What is past is dead. Let the dead bury the dead.



This day you return from the living dead.



This day, like unto Elijah with the widow's son, I stretch myself upon thee three times and you live again.



This day, like unto Elisha with the Shunammite's son, I put my mouth upon your mouth and my eyes upon your eyes and my hands upon your hands and your flesh is warm again.



This day, like unto Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus, I command you to come forth and you will walk from your cave of doom to begin a new life.



This is your birthday. This is your new date of birth. Your first life, like unto a play of the theatre, was only a rehearsal. This time the curtain is up. This time the world watches and waits to applaud. This time you will not fail.



Light your candles. Share your cake. Pour the wine. You have been reborn.



Like a butterfly from its chrysalis you will fly ... fly as high as you wish, and neither the wasps nor dragonflies nor mantids of mankind shall obstruct your mission or your search for the true riches of life.



Feel my hand upon thy head.



Attend to my wisdom.



Let me share with you, again, the secret you heard at your birth and forgot.



You are my greatest miracle.



You are the greatest miracle in the world.



Those were the first words you ever heard. Then you cried. They all cry ...



You did not believe me then ... and nothing has happened in the intervening years to correct your disbelief. For how could you be a miracle when you consider yourself a failure at the most menial of tasks? How can you be a miracle when you have little confidence in dealing with the most trivial of responsibilities? How can you be a miracle when you are shackled by debt and lie awake in torment over whence will come tomorrow's bread?



Enough. The milk that is spilled is sour. Yet, how many prophets, how many wise men, how many poets, how many artists, how many composers, how many scientists, how many philosophers and messengers have I sent with word of your divinity, your potential for godliness, and the secrets of achievement? How did you treat them?



Still I love you and I am with you now, through these words, to fulfill the prophet who announced that the Lord shall set his hand again, the second time, to recover the remnant of his people.



I have set my hand again.



This is the second time.



You are my remnant.



It is of no avail to ask, haven't you known, haven't you heard, hasn't it been told to you from the beginning; haven't you understood from the foundations of the earth?



You have not known; you have not heard; you have not understood.



You have been told that you are a divinity in disguise, a god playing a fool.



You have been told that you a special piece of work, noble in reason, infinite in faculties, express and admirable in form and moving, like an angel in action, like a god in apprehension.



You have been told that you are the salt of the earth.



You were given the secret even of moving mountains, of performing the impossible.



You believed no one. You burned your map to happiness, you abandoned your claim to peace of mind, you snuffed out the candles that had been placed along your destined path of glory, and then you stumbled, lost and frightened, in the darkness of futility and self-pity, until you fell into a hell of your own creation.



Then you cried and beat your breast and cursed the luck that had befallen you. You refused to accept the consequences of your own petty thoughts and lazy deeds and you searched for a scapegoat on which to blame your failure. How quickly you found one.



You blamed me!



You cried that your handicaps, your mediocrity, your lack of opportunity, your failures ... were the will of God!



You were wrong!



Let us take inventory. Let us, first, call a roll of your handicaps. For how can I ask you to build a new life lest you have the tools?



Are you blind? Does the sun rise and fall without your witness?



No. You can see ... and the hundred million receptors I have placed in your eyes enable you to enjoy the magic of a leaf, a snowflake, a pond, an eagle, a child, a cloud, a star, a rose, a rainbow ... and the look of love. Count one blessing.



Are you deaf? Can a baby laugh or cry without your attention?



No. You can hear ... and the twenty-four thousand fibers I have built in each of your ears vibrate to the wind in the trees, the tides on the rocks, the majesty of an opera, a robin's plea, children at play ... and the words I love you. Count another blessing.



Are you mute? Do your lips move and bring forth only spittle?



No. You can speak ... as can no other of my creatures, and your words can calm the angry, uplift the despondent, goad the quitter, cheer the unhappy, warm the lonely, praise the worthy, encourage the defeated, teach the ignorant ... and say I love you. Count another blessing.



Are you paralyzed? Does your helpless form despoil the land?



No. You can move. You are not a tree condemned to a small plot while the wind and world abuses you. You can stretch and run and dance and work, for within you I have designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fiber all synchronized by me to do your bidding. Count another blessing.



Are you unloved and unloving? Does loneliness engulf you, night and day?



No. No more. For now you know love's secret, that to receive love it must be given with no thought of its return. To love for fulfillment, satisfaction, or pride is no love. Love is a gift on which no return is demanded. Now you know that to love unselfishly is its own reward. And even should love not be returned it is not lost, for love not reciprocated will flow back to you and soften and purify your heart. Count another blessing. Count twice.



Is your heart stricken? Does it leak and strain to maintain your life?



No. Your heart is strong. Touch your chest and feel its rhythm, pulsating, hour after hour, day and night, thirty-six million beats each year, year after year, asleep or awake, pumping your blood through more than sixty thousand miles of veins, arteries, and tubing ... pumping more than six hundred thousand gallons each year. Man has never created such a machine. Count another blessing.



Are you diseased of skin? Do people turn in horror when you approach?



No. Your skin is clear and a marvel of creation, needing only that you tend it with soap and oil and brush and care. In time all steels will tarnish and rust, but not your skin. Eventually the strongest of metals will wear, with use, but not that layer that I have constructed around you. Constantly it renews itself, old cells replaced by new, just as the old you is now replaced by the new. Count another blessing.



Are your lungs befouled? Does your breath of life struggle to enter your body?



No. Your portholes to life support you even in the vilest of environments of your own making, and they labor always to filter life-giving oxygen through six hundred million pockets of folded flesh while they rid your body of gaseous wastes. Count another blessing.



Is your blood poisoned? Is it diluted with water and pus?



No. Within your five quarts of blood are twenty-two trillion blood cells and within each cell are millions of molecules and within each molecule is an atom oscillating at more than ten million times each second. Each second, two million of your blood cells die to be replaced by two million more in a resurrection that has continued since your first birth. As it has always been inside, so now it is on your outside. Count another blessing.



Are you feeble of mind? Can you no longer think for yourself?



No. Your brain is the most complex structure in the universe. I know. Within its three pounds are thirteen billion nerve cells, more than three times as many cells as there are people on your earth. To help you file away every perception, every sound, every taste, every smell, every action you have experienced since the day of your birth, I have implanted, within your cells, more than one thousand billion billion protein molecules. Every incident in your life is there waiting only your recall. And, to assist your brain in the control of your body I have dispersed, throughout your form, four million pain-sensitive structures, five hundred thousand touch detectors, and more than two hundred thousand temperature detectors. No nation's gold is better protected than you. None of your ancient wonders are greater than you.



You are my finest creation.



Within you is enough atomic energy to destroy any of the world's great cities ... and rebuild it.



Are you poor? Is there no gold or silver in your purse?



No. You are rich! Together we have just counted your wealth. Study the list. Count them again. Tally your assets!



Why have you betrayed yourself? Why have you cried that all the blessings of humanity were removed from you? Why did you deceive yourself that you were powerless to change your life? Are you without talent, senses, abilities, pleasures, instincts, sensations, and pride? Are you without hope? Why do you cringe in the shadows, a giant defeated, awaiting only sympathetic transport into the welcome void and dampness of hell?



You have so much. Your blessings overflow your cup ... and you have been unmindful of them, like a child spoiled in luxury, since I have bestowed them upon you with generosity and regularity.



Answer me.



Answer yourself.



What rich man, old and sick, feeble and helpless, would not exchange all the gold in his vault for the blessings you have treated so lightly.



Know then the first secret to happiness and success - that you possess, even now, every blessing necessary to achieve great glory. They are your treasure, your tools with which to build, starting today, the foundation for a new and better life.



Therefore, I say unto you, count your blessings and know that you already are my greatest creation. This is the first law you must obey in order to perform the greatest miracle in the world, the return of your humanity from living death.



And be grateful for your lessons learned in poverty. For he is not poor who has little; only he that desires much ... and true security lies not in the things one has but in the things one can do without.



Where are the handicaps that produced your failure? They existed only in your mind.



Count your blessings.



And the second law is like unto the first. Proclaim your rarity.



You had condemned yourself to a potter's field, and there you lay, unable to forgive your own failure, destroying yourself with self-hate, self-incrimination, and revulsion at your crimes against yourself and others.



Are you not perplexed?



Do you not wonder why I am able to forgive your failures, your transgressions, your pitiful demeanor ... when you cannot forgive yourself?



I address you now, for three reasons. You need me. You are not one of a herd heading for destruction in a gray mass of mediocrity. And ... you are a great rarity.



Consider a painting by Rembrandt or a bronze by Degas or a violin by Stradivarius or a play by Shakespeare. They have great value for two reasons: their creators were masters and they are few in number. Yet there are more than one of each of these.



On that reasoning you are the most valuable treasure on the face of the earth, for you know who created you and there is only one of you.



Never, in all the seventy billion humans who have walked this planet since the beginning of time has there been anyone exactly like you.



Never, until the end of time, will there be another such as you.



You have shown no knowledge or appreciation of your uniqueness.



Yet, you are the rarest thing in the world.



From your father, in his moment of supreme love, flowed countless seeds of love, more than four hundred million in number. All of them, as they swam within your mother, gave up the ghost and died. All except one! You.



You alone persevered within the loving warmth of your mother's body, searching for your other half, a single cell from your mother so small that more than two million would be necessary to fill an acorn shell. Yet, despite impossible odds, in that vast ocean of darkness and disaster, you persevered, found that infinitesimal cell, joined with it, and began a new life. Your life.



You arrived, bringing with you, as does every child, the message that I was not yet discouraged of man. Two cells now united in a miracle. Two cells, each containing twenty-three chromosomes and within each chromosome hundreds of genes, which would govern every characteristic about you, from the color of your eyes to the charm of your manner, to the size of your brain.



With all the combinations at my command, beginning with that single sperm from your father's four hundred million, through the hundreds of genes in each of the chromosomes from your mother and father, I could have created three hundred thousand billion humans, each different from the other.



But who did I bring forth?



You! One of a kind. Rarest of the rare. A priceless treasure, possessed of qualities in mind and speech and movement and appearance and actions as no other who has ever lived, lives, or shall live.



Why have you valued yourself in pennies when you are worth a king's ransom?



Why did you listen to those who demeaned you ... and far worse, why did you believe them?



Take counsel. No longer hide your rarity in the dark. Bring it forth. Show the world. Strive not to walk as your brother walks, nor talk as your leader talks, nor labor as do the mediocre. Never do as another. Never imitate. For how do you know that you may not imitate evil; and he who imitates evil always goes beyond the example set, while he who imitates what is good always falls short. Imitate no one. Be yourself. Show your rarity to the world and they will shower you with gold. This then is the second law.



Proclaim your rarity.



And now you have received two laws.



Count your blessings! Proclaim your rarity!



You have no handicaps. You are not mediocre.



You nod. You force a smile. You admit your self-deception.



What of your next complaint? Opportunity never seeks thee?



Take counsel and it shall come to pass, for now I give you the law of success in every venture. Many centuries ago this law was given to your forefathers from a mountain top. Some heeded the law and lo, their life was filled with the fruit of happiness, accomplishment, gold, and peace of mind. Most listened not, for they sought magic means, devious routes, or waited for the devil called luck to deliver to them the riches of life. They waited in vain ... just as you waited, and then they wept, blaming their lack of fortune.



The law is simple. Young or old, pauper or king, white or black, male or female ... all can use the secret to their advantage; for all the rules and speeches and scriptures of success and how to attain it, only one method has never failed ... whomsoever shall compel ye to go with him one mile ... go with him two.



This then is the third law ... the secret that will produce riches and acclaim beyond your dreams. Go another mile!



The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.



Think not ye are being cheated if you deliver more than the silver you receive. For there is a pendulum to all life and the sweat you deliver, if not rewarded today, will swing back tomorrow, tenfold. The mediocre never goes another mile, for why should he cheat himself, he thinks. But you are not mediocre. To go another mile is a privilege you must appropriate by your own initiative. You cannot, you must not avoid it. Neglect it, do only as little as the others, and the responsibility for your failure is yours alone.



You can no more render service without receiving just compensation than you can withhold the rendering of it without suffering the loss of reward. Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, these cannot be separated. The effect already blooms in the cause, the end pre-exists in the means, and the fruit is always in the seed.



Go another mile.



Concern yourself not, should you serve an ungrateful master. Serve him more.



And instead of him, let it be me who is in your debt, for then you will know that every minute, every stroke of extra service will be repaid. And worry not, should your reward not come soon. For the longer payment is withheld, the better for you ... and compound interest on compound interest is this law's greatest benefit.



You cannot command success, you can only deserve it ... and now you know the great secret necessary in order to merit its rare reward.



Go another mile!



Where is this field whence you cried there was no opportunity? Look! Look around thee. See, where only yesterday you wallowed on the refuse of self-pity, you now walk tall on a carpet of gold. Nothing has changed ... except you, but you are everything.



You are my greatest miracle.



You are the greatest miracle in the world.



And now the laws of happiness and success are three.



Count your blessings! Proclaim your rarity! Go another mile!



Be patient with your progress. To count your blessings with gratitude, to proclaim your rarity with pride, to go an extra mile and then another, these acts are not accomplished in the blinking of an eye. Yet, that which you acquire with most difficulty you retain the longest; as those who have earned a fortune are more careful of it than those by whom it was inherited.



And fear not as you enter your new life. Every noble acquisition is attended with its risks. He who fears to encounter the one must not expect to obtain the other. Now you know you are a miracle. And there is no fear in a miracle.



Be proud. You are not the momentary whim of a careless creator experimenting in the laboratory of life. You are not a slave of forces that you cannot comprehend. You are a free manifestation of no force but mine, of no love but mine. You were made with a purpose.



Feel my hand. Hear my words.



You need me ... and I need you.



We have a world to rebuild ... and if it requireth a miracle what is that to us? We are both miracles and now we have each other.



Never have I lost faith in you since that day when I first spun you from a giant wave and tossed you helplessly on the sands. As you measure time that was more than five hundred million years ago. There were many models, many shapes, many sizes, before I reached perfection in you more than thirty thousand years ago. I have made no further effort to improve on you in all these years.



For how could one improve on a miracle? You were a marvel to behold and I was pleased. I gave you this world and dominion over it. Then, to enable you to reach your full potential I placed my hand upon you, once more, and endowed you with powers unknown to any other creature in the universe, even unto this day.



I gave you the power to think.

I gave you the power to love.

I gave you the power to will.

I gave you the power to laugh.

I gave you the power to imagine.

I gave you the power to create.

I gave you the power to plan.

I gave you the power to speak.

I gave you the power to pray.

I gave you the power to heal.





My pride in you knew no bounds. You were my ultimate creation, my greatest miracle. A complete living being. One who can adjust to any climate, any hardship, any challenge. One who can manage his own destiny without any interference from me. One who can translate a sensation or perception, not by instinct, but by thought and deliberation into whatever action is best for himself and all humanity.



Thus we come to the fourth law of success and happiness ... for I gave you one more power, a power so great that not even my angels possess it.



I gave you ... the power to choose.



With this gift I placed you even above my angels ... for angels are not free to choose sin. I gave you complete control over your destiny. I told you to determine, for yourself, your own nature in accordance with your own free will. Neither heavenly nor earthly in nature, you were free to fashion yourself in whatever form you preferred. You had the power to choose to degenerate into the lowest forms of life, but you also had the power, out of your soul's judgment, to be reborn into the higher forms, which are divine.



I have never withdrawn your great power, the power to choose.



What have you done with this tremendous force? Look at yourself. Think of the choices you have made in your life and recall, now, those bitter moments when you would fall to your knees if only you had the opportunity to choose again.



What is past is past ... and now you know the fourth great law of happiness and success ... Use wisely, your power of choice.



Choose to love ... rather than hate.

Choose to laugh ... rather than cry.

Choose to create ... rather than destroy.

Choose to persevere ... rather than quit.

Choose to praise ... rather than gossip.

Choose to heal ... rather than wound.

Choose to give ... rather than steal.

Choose to act ... rather than procrastinate.

Choose to grow ... rather than rot.

Choose to pray ... rather than curse.

Choose to live ... rather than die.





Now you know that your misfortunes were not my will, for all power was vested in you, and the accumulation of deeds and thoughts which placed you on the refuse of humanity were your doing, not mine. My gifts of power were too large for your small nature. Now you have grown tall and wise and the fruits of the land will be yours.



You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.



You are capable of great wonders. Your potential is unlimited. Who else, among my creatures, has mastered fire? Who else, among my creatures, has conquered gravity, has pierced the heavens, has conquered disease and pestilence and drought?



Never demean yourself again!



Never settle for the crumbs of life!



Never hide your talents, from this day hence!



Remember the child who says, "when I am big boy." But what is that? For the big boy says. "when I grow up." And then the grown up, he says, "when I am wed." But to be wed, what is that, after all? The thought then changes to "when I retire." And then, retirement comes, and he looks back over it and somehow he has missed it all and it is gone.



Enjoy this day, today ... and tomorrow, tomorrow.



You have performed the greatest miracle in the world.



You have returned from a living death.



You will feel self-pity no more and each new day will be a challenge and a joy.



You have been born again ... but just as before, you can choose failure and despair or success and happiness. The choice is yours. The choice is exclusively yours. I can only watch, as before ... in pride ... or sorrow.



Remember, then, the four laws of happiness and success.



•Count your blessings.

•Proclaim your rarity.

•Go another mile.

•Use wisely your power of choice.

And one more, to fulfill the other four. Do all things with love ... love for yourself, love for all others, and love for me.



Wipe away your tears. Reach out, grasp my hand, and stand straight.



Let me cut the grave cloths that have bound you.



This day you have been notified.



YOU ARE THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD

God Shouldn't Have Called You

There are many reasons why God shouldn't have called you.

But don't worry.

You're in good company.



Moses stuttered.

David's armor didn't fit.

John Mark was rejected by Paul.

Timothy had ulcers.

Hosea's wife was a prostitute.

Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.

Jacob was a liar.

David had an affair.

Solomon was too rich.

Abraham was too old.

David was too young.

Peter was afraid of death.

Lazarus was dead.

John was self-righteous.

Naomi was a widow.

Paul was a murderer.

So was Moses.

Jonah ran from God.

Miriam was a gossip.

Gideon and Thomas both doubted.

Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.

Elijah was burned out.

John the Baptist was a loudmouth.

Martha was a worry-wart.

Mary was lazy.

Samson had long hair.

Noah got drunk.

Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?

So did Peter, Paul--well, lots of

folks did.



But God doesn't require a job interview. He doesn't hire and fire like most bosses, because He's more our Dad than our Boss. He doesn't look at financial gain or loss. He's not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging, sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need.

As much as we try, God's gifts are free. We could do wonderful things for wonderful people and still not be Wonderful. Satan says, "You're not worthy." Jesus says, "So what? I AM." Satan looks back and sees our mistakes. God looks back and sees the cross. He doesn't calculate what you did in '78. It's not even on the record. Sure. There are lots of reasons why God shouldn't have called us. But if we are magically in love with Him, if we hunger for Him more than our next breath, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been, or what we look like.

I pray that as Christians, we will step out of our limitations into the unlimitable nature of who God is. Then our passion for God and our passion to communicate Him will make short work of our limitations.

Trust in people or God?

Learning to trust God is the first challenge that confronts every true believer.We should have child-like faith and confidence in our Heavenly Father and we need to totally depend upon God for everything by having spiritual fruit in our lives.But If we do not put our faith into action then it is useless faith.Renewing our faith and trust in God’s promises is of utmost importance of any believer in christ during all circumstances in our life.God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems.when you trust in people you will get hurt because people are complex and naturally have tendency to commit more breech of trust.People can lie,deceive,mislead or change their mind but we can trust in God, rely on him because he will never lie, never deceive, never mislead you nor he changes his mind.At one point or other in our lives we all have been disappointed by people in whom we have placed our trust.But If you can trust God, you can count on His promises for every need and every decision. we see in the Bible,David had been betrayed by men he had trusted. I trust in the Lord because He and He alone is truly trustworthy and His Word is trustworthy.When we are in the midst of trials, sickness, suffering , bad economy and even at death time , we still can be confident that God is still with us, that he cares for us, that he has everything under control. True Trust begins when we are willing to put ourselves under him, to be willing to obey not out of fear but out of love. When we trust God, we love himand he is glorified as we rely on Him, not ourselves, to keep His great promises.
There are many scriptures which tell us to trust in God in everything.Below are the scripture reffrences:


Proverbs 29:25: Whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Isaiah 26:4: Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord is everlasting strength.

Psalm 2:12 :Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

Psalm 146:3-6:Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them — the LORD, who remains faithful forever.

Jesus Name Above All Names!

The amazing truth about Jesus is that He is both human and divine, both true man and true God. “You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will do it!” (John 14:13-14).

If we do not repent we will perish!

Every man has to repent in order to have a personal relationship with God. God commands everyone to repent and believe in the true Gospel it is our duty, responsibility to obey. Failure to do so is sin .There are some Preachers quit preaching against sins and some preachers themselves live in sin henceforth allowed sinners to stop feeling like sinners which allowed the sinner to continue to live in sin and justifying their sins hence they hardly repent for their sins.

Christian churches stand guilty before Christ for perverting the Gospel, because they teach the doctrine of Balaam, putting a stumbling block of sin before people, seducing people into sin, deceiving people into believing, even with God's Spirit, it is still spiritually impossible to live one's live without breaking God's commandments, and to teach people they can continue to sin without sin's consequences, and receiving the judgment of Christ and that Rom. 6:23 does not apply to their sins. Lasciviousness is shameless conduct that breaks God's Commandments without shame, or repentance, and creates a false obedience of teaching that does not recognize sin, nor defines sin as God's Word defines sin.

True repentance is turning from sin, and turning from sin means to stop sinning, then a person must live a sinless life in order to be saved. Jesus Christ began His ministry of preaching the Gospel by teaching the doctrine of repentance (Mat. 4:17), and everyone that does not repent of his sins which is the breaking of God's commandments cannot enter His Kingdom. Christ later said and taught everyone that does not repent will perish, Luke 13: 3.

If all these Christian Preachers and members don’t repent of these sins, and begin now to teach, preach and obey the true Gospel, they all will soon come under the curse of God--the coming tribulation of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord. Mal. 4:1-4, Mat. 3:10-12, Rev. 2:14-15. I Peter 4:17, says " For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall be the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God?."

Mat. 8:11-12 says that children of this kingdom, church members believing they have been accepted in God's kingdom, but are of another kingdom, Satan's kingdom, following another gospel, or a perverted gospel,

Gal. 1:8-9, will have the curse carried out upon their lives, that they will be cast out of Christ's kingdom: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Revelation 9:20-21The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
