Jesus Christ is our Great Physician!
We limit Jesus Christ through our thoughts and beliefs
And forget that He himself being the chief corner stone
He came that we may have life abundantly
He came to open the eyes of the blind
He came to set the prisoners free
He came to heal the brokenhearted
We must make the choice to listen and rise up in faith
While seeking His will in our lives
And the Blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ
If we have faith as small as a mustard seed
We can say to mountain to move and it will move
But without faith it is impossible to please Him
If we doubt Him because of our unbelief, we won’t get anything
For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds
And to him who knocks it will be opened
He wants us to turn away from our wicked ways
He will take sickness from our midst
He shed His blood for our healing
He forgives all our sins and heals ALL our diseases
He wants us to cast all our care, concerns and worries upon Him
Because He cares for us!
He doesn’t want us to worry, be anxious about anything
But through prayer and supplications with thanksgiving,
We are to let our requests be made known to Him
His desire is to restore our health
Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually
If we Delight ourselves in the Lord and seek his Kingdom
He will give us the desires of our heart
There are miraculous recoveries doctors can’t explain.
We must have the faith of the woman with the issue of blood
Who spent all she had upon the physicians but wasn’t healed
She trusted Jesus and touched his garment and got healed
Trust God In all things as nothing is too difficult or impossible for Him
He is our very present help, refuge and strength in times of trouble
He has Plans to prosper us and not to harm us,
And plans to give us hope and a future
True miracles happen every day
When you desire a miracle desire to glorify God not man
Give a testimony to declare the goodness of the Lord
For whatever you ask for in prayer,
Believe that you have received it, and it will be yours
Prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well
And the Lord will raise him up
Jesus knows everything about us
He even knows the number of hairs on our head
Jesus is our Great Provider
Through Christ Jesus all our needs are met.
He paid the price for our healing upon the cross
By his stripes we are healed
Continue to thank the Lord for bringing freedom, peace, healing.
Jesus is the Great Physician able to heal the body, mind and soul
He's on duty 24/7, 365 days a year.
We never need to make an appointment nor have to wait
He is a great physician of all living things
Trust Jesus be healed in his Name!

I Believe in Jesus, Not Doctrine
You cannot separate what a person believes from who they are. This is the reason why doctrine is so important.
Some people say, “I do not believe in doctrine; I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ; I’m saved, I’m a Christian, and nothing else matters”. To speak in that way is to invite disaster.
We are to guard ourselves against being tossed “to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.” (Eph 4:14).
If your doctrine goes astray your life will soon suffer as well. This is why the New Testament warns us against this very danger:
“Test everything; hold fast to what is good.” (1 Thess 5:21)
And again:
“Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 Jhn 4:1)
It’s in our best interest to study doctrine so that we may safeguard ourselves against erroneous and heretical teachings that are as common today as they were in the days of the early Church.

Psalms 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 13:34-35 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Matthew 16:21: From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Mark 9:9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
Mark 14:28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
John 2:19-22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Luke 24:45-46 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Acts 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Luke 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
Matthew 28:16-17 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
1 Corinthians 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1 Corinthians 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me(Paul) also, as of one born out of due time.
Luke 24:4-7 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Why did Jesus say, "Why call me good, only God is good?"?
We see in the 3 gospels Matthew 19:16-17, Luke 18:19, Mark 10:17-18 Jesus said why called thou me good for there is none good but one that is God. So according to this God and Jesus are two different Beings? Did Jesus deny being God in Mark 10:18?Did Jesus say he was not good?. These are many questions will come to our mind.
If we carefully read these verses, we can clearly understand the true meaning of these verses.
Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?[there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me."
Matthew 19:22 "But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Jesus was simply questioning the young rich ruler's motives to consider the implications of calling Him good when he said No one is good except God alone .The Rich man was measuring the goodness of Jesus Christ according to merely human standard and was not able to achieve God's state of perfection. Rich man said “All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?” The young ruler "went away sad" (Mark 10:22) because he realized that although he had devoted himself in keeping the commandments but has failed to keep the first and greatest of the commandments “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (Matthew 22:37-38)”. The man’s riches were of more worth to him than God, he was sad to give up his wealth. He thought he can enter eternal life by his own good works and by not completely following Jesus Christ Hence he was not considered as righteous in the eyes of God. Proverb 16:25 says , “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”. The scriptures says that it is difficult for a rich person to be saved. Matthew 19:24 "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus pointed out that one cannot serve both God and money. One can follow 10 commandments but still they live spiritual defeated lives and have not OVERCOME the world still living in wicked ,greedy and hypocritical lives. Jesus declares Himself to be good “He is called the good shepherd in John 10:11. In Matt 20:15, Jesus said “ is your eye evil because I am good?' . Scripture say that He “was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). “And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin” (I Jn. 3:5). Jesus is God (John 1:1; 20:28; Heb. 1:8; Rom. 9:5; 2 Pet. 1:1;1 John 5:20; etc.)Good Shepherd (John 10:11,14), Image of God (2 Cor. 4:4), Lord of lords (Rev. 19:16), Righteous One (Acts 7:52; 1 John 2:1), Wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24),Word (John 1:1),Word of God (Rev. 19:13).
Also observe Col. 2:9 says , "For in Him [Jesus] all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."
Col. 1:19, "For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,"
Phil. 2:6-8, "...although He [Jesus] existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He says, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom."
Jesus is the incarnate Word (that was God) made flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9), found in appearance as a man, and that He humbled Himself to the point of death (Phil. 2:8). What we also need to understand is that He was made under the Law (Gal. 4:4) took on the form of a servant(Php 2:7) and He was made like unto sinful flesh(Rom 8:3 ) and He was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
3. Why do so many people hate Jesus? Jesus Christ "declares the FATHER" (John 1:18). And reveals the Father to whomever the Son desires (Matt. 11:27). Jesus was revealing the Father to his disciples in His whole ministry. God and Jesus are one. Jesus said, "I and [God] the Father are one!” Jesus always spoke in His own authority. He never said, “Thus saith the Lord…” as did the prophets; He always said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you…” He even asserted that “heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Mark 13:31). The words of Jesus are the very words of God.
Jesus Christ claimed to be the ONLY way to God, claimed to live a sinless life, have shared the glory of God in Heaven who is able to forgive sins and to give everlasting life. Jesus was “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15), holy and undefiled (Hebrews 7:26), the only One who “knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21).Scriptures testify that Jesus Christ is good and Lord of all(Acts 10:36). Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM"? (John 8:58). He was also revealing HIMSELF as the God of the Old Testament. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made." (John 1:1-3). And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Consider the following scriptures carefully ,its clear that Christ was the God of the Old testament .
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 1:2, “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds:”
Acts2:36: Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Also Jesus Christ himself said he was God in Luke 6:46: As He said, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say?" .
John 8:19 :Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
John 14:1-7 :“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going” Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:8-11:Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need." Jesus replied: Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don't you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10 Don't you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn't said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things. Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do.
John 10:22-30 :That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Temple Festival. One day he was walking in that part of the temple known as Solomon's Porch, and the people gathered all around him. They said, "How long are you going to keep us guessing? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!" Jesus answered: I have told you, and you refused to believe me. The things I do by my Father's authority show who I am. But since you are not my sheep, you don't believe me. My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me, and I give them eternal life, so that they will never be lost. No one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father gave them to me, and he is greater than all others. No one can snatch them from his hands, and I am one with the Father.
John 15:24 says : but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.
Jesus was worshiped by Thomas (John 20:28), by Angels (Hebrews 1:6). by Wise men (Matthew 2:11), by A leper (Matthew 8:2), by A ruler (Matthew 9:18), by A blind man (John 9:38), An anonymous woman (Matthew 15:25), by Mary Magdalene (Matthew 28:9), by The disciples (Matthew 28:17).
4. When Jesus was worshiped, He never corrected His followers when they bowed down and worshiped Him. He never said, “Please, don’t worship me…only my Father should be worshiped.” . The words “only begotten” do not mean that Christ was created, or that He was in some way brought into existence by the Father. Rather, the Greek word for “only begotten” means “unique” or “one of a kind.” (Romans 9:5) “Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised. Amen.” (John 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (Titus 2:13) “...while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ...”
Some people will not come to Christ simply because they are ignorant of their need as sinners. The Pharisees of Jesus' day were classic examples of this self-ignorance. In Luke 18 Jesus boldly spoke a parable directed toward these hypocrites, who "trusted in themselves that they were righteous" (Luke 18:9). When the scribes and Pharisees murmured against Jesus for eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners, Jesus observed, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke 5:31-32).
John 5:24 "He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." Whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
The reason they hate Jesus Christ is Many love darkness of sin rather than light of truth ( Jno. 3:19-21),their Pride causes them to reject him ( Psa. 10:4) and Some are Unwilling to obey and follow him in everything thing ( Jno. 7:16-17)and to come to the knowledge of truth.
If you believe, embrace Jesus Christ as Lord, then obey Him & have everlasting life (Jno. 12:48-50) and be good soldier of Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 2:3)!
If we carefully read these verses, we can clearly understand the true meaning of these verses.
Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?[there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me."

Jesus was worshiped by Thomas (John 20:28), by Angels (Hebrews 1:6). by Wise men (Matthew 2:11), by A leper (Matthew 8:2), by A ruler (Matthew 9:18), by A blind man (John 9:38), An anonymous woman (Matthew 15:25), by Mary Magdalene (Matthew 28:9), by The disciples (Matthew 28:17).
4. When Jesus was worshiped, He never corrected His followers when they bowed down and worshiped Him. He never said, “Please, don’t worship me…only my Father should be worshiped.” . The words “only begotten” do not mean that Christ was created, or that He was in some way brought into existence by the Father. Rather, the Greek word for “only begotten” means “unique” or “one of a kind.” (Romans 9:5) “Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised. Amen.” (John 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (Titus 2:13) “...while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ...”
Some people will not come to Christ simply because they are ignorant of their need as sinners. The Pharisees of Jesus' day were classic examples of this self-ignorance. In Luke 18 Jesus boldly spoke a parable directed toward these hypocrites, who "trusted in themselves that they were righteous" (Luke 18:9). When the scribes and Pharisees murmured against Jesus for eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners, Jesus observed, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke 5:31-32).
John 5:24 "He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." Whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
The reason they hate Jesus Christ is Many love darkness of sin rather than light of truth ( Jno. 3:19-21),their Pride causes them to reject him ( Psa. 10:4) and Some are Unwilling to obey and follow him in everything thing ( Jno. 7:16-17)and to come to the knowledge of truth.
If you believe, embrace Jesus Christ as Lord, then obey Him & have everlasting life (Jno. 12:48-50) and be good soldier of Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 2:3)!
If Jesus is God, then why scriptures say Son of God?
We know that Jesus Christ is God and man. Jesus Christ is God in human flesh (II Corinthians 5:19). Isaiah said, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14)." Immanuel meaning "God IS WITH us. John tells us in John 1:1-4, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth."
Jesus is repeatedly called "the Son of God" and also "the Son of Man". Mary was used of God as the host to bring forth the body of Jesus' humanity. Jesus had no human father. When the angel told Mary that she would conceive and have a son, she replied, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man (Luke 1:31-34)?" The angel responded by saying, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35)." the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20). The Annunciation begins "the fullness of time" (Gal 4:4). Mary conceived Jesus the eternal Son of the Father in a humanity drawn from her own in whom the "whole fullness of deity" dwells "bodily." (Col 2:9).
Jesus as a man had a human mother, but God was His father, hence he was called “Jesus the Son of God”. Although Jesus was a fully human person, he also was and is fully God. Philippians 2:6 makes it clear that he is God, and that he set aside the use of some of his attributes to take on the form of the human, and die for the sins of the world. Titus 2:13 equates Jesus with God. Romans 9:6 describes him as God, who is blessed forever. And in Revelation 5:13 and 14 portray Christ as deity.
The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).
All men are sons of God because we are His offspring (Acts 17:28), descendants from Adam (Luke 3:38). God's people are adopted "sons of God," Jesus is the only Son of God by nature (Rom. 8: 14-16). The spiritual relationship of Christ to the Father is not like the physical relationship men have with their sons (Isaiah 55:8, 9).
Only accept by faith through His word that Jesus is both God and with God; He is both God and the Son of God. As God, He is worthy of our worship and adoration. The Father is designated as Lord(Mt 11.25)and also as God(1 Cor 8.6).The Son is designated as Lord(Rom 15.6 )as well as as God (Titus 2.13, Heb 1:8). The Holy Spirit is designated as Lord (2 Cor 3.17) as well as The Holy Spirit is designated as God(Acts 5.3-4). There is only one God in the Old Testament and Jesus is God in the flesh in the New Testament (John 1:1,14). God, The Spirit of God and Jesus Christ are the One and Only True God. THE HOLY Spirit is seen as GOD in the old testament (Ezekiel 36:27, Ezekiel 37:14). God gives the Spirit of God into the hearts of man and leads, guides and helps them to obey the commandments of God (2 Co 3:17). It is clear that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are each God. Jesus, who not only is eternally in God, but is himself eternally God. Word ‘begotten’ is used of Jesus, who is the Son of God. Jesus, being in God and himself God, has no beginning and has no end. “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in him all things consist” (Col.1:15-17).
Conclusion: God is infinite and we are finite and our abilities and intellects are limited.For anyone who perverts the word of God here there is warning "For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God” (Jeremiah 23:36)."

Dental Miracle by Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I wanted to let everybody know that my experience with Dentist Dr.Sanford N. Schwartz was by far the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had. The staff was all friendly and sincere. My previous Dentists had told me to undergo Root canal procedure and one of them even said I have a crack tooth. They all have taken several x rays about my tooth. I don’t have a pain tolerance and I had a bad experience with my previous dentists and I was very scared of dental Doctors. But Dr. Sanford Schwartz told me that he don’t see anything to undergo Root canal procedure, he can not see nothing in the X – Ray, everything seems to be fine and he do not know why the previous doctors have told me to undergo Root canal. All he said was that I have a sensitivity tooth and told me to undergo desensitizing the sensitive tooth and to use a Prescription Fluoride toothpaste and I did that, it helped me a lot. Before I had a problem in chewing hard stuff. I had a severe pain on the upper left side tooth. I was not biting anything on the left side because of severe pain. Now I am able to chew and there is no pain. I believe that God has healed me. I am so very happy that my tooth got better without root canal surgery. God healed me through this Dentist .God has always been good to me he always creates too many miracles in my life. Every impossible thing is possible with our Lord Jesus Christ. Once Again I am giving another testimony of his miracle and healing. The power of prayer and the Power of Precious Blood of Jesus Christ are really amazing. Jesus bore our sicknesses so that we may be healed. By His Stripes I am Healed. I can overcome anything in the world with the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ! I praise and thank you Jesus for loving me so much and creating wonderful miracles all the time in my life. I believe God’s Miracles all the time. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS if you truly seek him and trust him with all your heart and soul. Jesus said that all things are possible to him he who believes. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8.
Praise the Lord for his love and mercy! Amen
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.

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.

Letter From God To Women
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects his heart and his lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support the man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are My perfect angel. You are My beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and My eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes – don’t change them. Your lips – how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form, your hands so gentle in touch. I’ve caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I’ve held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like Me. Adam walked with Me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see Me or touch Me. He could only feel Me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with Me,
I fashioned in you: My holiness, My strength, My purity, My love, My protection and support. You are special because you are the extension of Me.
Man represents My image, woman My emotions. Together you represent the totality of God. So man – treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt Me. What you do to her, you do to Me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

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?
2. God commands men to work upon the first day of the week. (Exodus 20.8-11.) Is it wrong to obey God?
3. None of the patriarchs ever kept it.
4. None of the holy prophets ever kept it.
5. By the express command of-God, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least.
6. God Himself calls it a "working" day. (Ezekiel 46:1.)
7. God did not rest upon it.
8. He never blessed it.
9. Christ did not rest upon it.
10. Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on Sunday.
11. The apostles worked upon it during the same time.
12. The apostles never rested upon it.
13. Christ never blessed it.
14. It has never been blessed by any divine authority.
15. It has never been sanctified.
16. No law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is no transgression to work upon it. “Where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15 (See also 1 John 3:4.)
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.
20. No regulation is given as to how it ought to be observed. Would this be so if the Lord wished us to keep it?
21. It is never called the Christian Sabbath.
22. It is never called the Sabbath day at all.
23. It is never called the Lord’s day.
24. It is never called even a rest day.
25. No sacred title whatever is applied to it. Then why should we call it holy?
26. It is simply called “first day of the week.”
27. Jesus never-mentioned it in any way, never took its name upon His lips, so far as the record shows.
28. The word Sunday never occurs in the Bible at all.
29. Neither God, Christ, nor inspired men ever said one word in favor of Sunday as a holy day.
30. The first day of the week is mentioned only eight times in all the New Testament. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, 19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2.)
31. Six of these texts refer to the same first day of the week.
32. Paul directed the saints to look over their secular affairs on that day. (1Corinthians 16:2.)
33. In all the New Testament we have a record of only one religious meeting held upon that day, and even this was a night meeting. (Acts 20:5-12.)
34. There is not intimation that they ever held a meeting upon it before or after that.
35. It was not their custom to meet on that day.
36. There was no requirement to break bread on that day.
37. We have an account of only one instance in which it was done. (Acts 20:7.)
38. That was done in the night-after midnight. (Verses 7-11.) Jesus celebrated it on Thursday evening (Luke 22), and the disciples sometimes did it every day (Acts 2:42-46.)
39. The Bible nowhere says that the first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ. This is a tradition of men, which contradicts the law of God. (Matthew 15:1-9.) Baptism commemorates the burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Romans 6:3-5.)
40. Finally, the New Testament is totally silent with regard to any change of the Sabbath day or any sacredness for the first day.
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.

5. By the express command of-God, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least.
6. God Himself calls it a "working" day. (Ezekiel 46:1.)
7. God did not rest upon it.
8. He never blessed it.
9. Christ did not rest upon it.
10. Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on Sunday.
11. The apostles worked upon it during the same time.
12. The apostles never rested upon it.
13. Christ never blessed it.
14. It has never been blessed by any divine authority.
15. It has never been sanctified.
16. No law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is no transgression to work upon it. “Where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15 (See also 1 John 3:4.)
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.
20. No regulation is given as to how it ought to be observed. Would this be so if the Lord wished us to keep it?
21. It is never called the Christian Sabbath.
22. It is never called the Sabbath day at all.
23. It is never called the Lord’s day.
24. It is never called even a rest day.
25. No sacred title whatever is applied to it. Then why should we call it holy?
26. It is simply called “first day of the week.”
27. Jesus never-mentioned it in any way, never took its name upon His lips, so far as the record shows.
28. The word Sunday never occurs in the Bible at all.
29. Neither God, Christ, nor inspired men ever said one word in favor of Sunday as a holy day.
30. The first day of the week is mentioned only eight times in all the New Testament. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, 19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2.)
31. Six of these texts refer to the same first day of the week.
32. Paul directed the saints to look over their secular affairs on that day. (1Corinthians 16:2.)
33. In all the New Testament we have a record of only one religious meeting held upon that day, and even this was a night meeting. (Acts 20:5-12.)
34. There is not intimation that they ever held a meeting upon it before or after that.
35. It was not their custom to meet on that day.
36. There was no requirement to break bread on that day.
37. We have an account of only one instance in which it was done. (Acts 20:7.)
38. That was done in the night-after midnight. (Verses 7-11.) Jesus celebrated it on Thursday evening (Luke 22), and the disciples sometimes did it every day (Acts 2:42-46.)
39. The Bible nowhere says that the first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ. This is a tradition of men, which contradicts the law of God. (Matthew 15:1-9.) Baptism commemorates the burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Romans 6:3-5.)
40. Finally, the New Testament is totally silent with regard to any change of the Sabbath day or any sacredness for the first day.
