REPENT! The Kingdom of God IS at Hand!!

Welcome! My name is........and I love the Lord, who has completely changed my life and has given me a hope and a future. I would not want to ever live one day without Him! He is beyond AWESOME, teaching me daily. A wonderful Father He is, unlike any!!!______________________________________________________ _______"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. " "Isaiah 58:1Back in 1998, May 14th to be exact; when my heart was so heavy, and in deep thought concerning the abuse of drugs, and other addictions in our nation, I heard the Lord speak to me and tell me, "The problem of "religion" is greater than the problem of drug abuse and other additions, if the "religious" people will repent of self-righteousness; THEN and only then can the church reach the abusers and addicts"."IF My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chonicles 7:14At that time I was unaware of the "religious spirit" that existed, yet I now see what the Lord was saying to me.Looking over my past I can see that I was guilty of both. When I was younger, I was ignorant of many things, and easily persuaded by the crowd. I found myself in and out of the mainstream "church", and always abusing drugs inbetween. I could never live the "christian" life in which I was taught BY MAN, I ALWAYS managed to fail. At that time I did not read much of the word myself, yet believed everything in which I was taught without looking into it myself. After reading the word of God and seeking His guidance by His spirit myself, I found that I was taught wrong and that I had believed many lies.... I had realized that I had been deceived, willingly. The word has alot to say about His people being mislead by the spirit of this age and about His people going into captivity and even being destroyed or headed for destruction for LACK of KNOWLEDGE. If each of us take the time to examine our own life, our own thoughts, and our own intentions, and do some serious soul searching, and judge ourselves according to God's word, and not mans standard, and if we seek the Lord for truth and wisdom, and obey His word, He will lead us out of the bondages of our own ways and choosing. Man cannot save us, only God can. The devil is the accuser of the brethren, always accusing God's people day and night. A true follower of Christ will encourage and build up the body of Christ, not tare each other down. Each of us have alot of growing to do, none of us, has "arrived"... therefore do as the word says, "work out YOUR OWN salvation with fear and trembling"...for IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. (Philipians 2)In Timothy 2 it says."Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ[fn3] depart from iniquity." But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.I want to encourage you to read God's instruction book to us, THE BIBLE....discover THE TRUTH for yourself, look into what you hear or are taught and make sure it is so and increase your faith in the process...The truth will set you free!!!Romans 10:17 So then faith [comes] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.The word is powerful:Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.It is able to build you up: Act 20:32 "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.It washes and cleanses our mind and spirit Ephesians 5:26.2 Corinthians 4 "THEREFORE, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed-- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ...read the rest in 2 Corithians 4)A Must See:
"The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, "and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how."For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. "But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come. Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? "It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; "but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade." "Mark 4:26-32Act 2:44-47 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple (Our body is the Temple of God,1 Cor. 3:16) and breaking bread from House To House, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.Act 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Act 20:18-21 And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, "serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; "how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, "testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.Finding Life Out Of Death.....God’s way of victory over the flesh is to completely cut off the old Adamic tree. His purpose is to graft us into the life of Christ by uniting us with Him in His death. The cross meant one thing to Him, “Not my will, but yours be done.” And because He followed this course of dying to self-will to the end, He now has an eternal Kingdom-life in bodily form to share with everyone who follows Him in His way of the cross.For the death that He died, He died to sin {self-will} once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. (Rom. 6:10)Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me {into the same life}, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matt. 16:24-26)The Gospel message is all about finding life out of death. Has the reader labored and agonized to please God? And yet, in spite of all your efforts to follow His instructions, you still find yourself being held back by a fleshly nature. There is a way to get beyond it.Christ’s requirements are indeed unattainable. His demands go far beyond what the natural man can fulfill. Who naturally loves his enemies, rejoices in persecution, and goes the second mile? But this way of life is natural to those who have received “abundance of grace” and “the gift of righteousness” where they “reign in life” with Christ. (Rom. 5:17)There is an impassable gulf between the humanly possible and the requirements of Christ. F. J. Huegel, in Bone of His Bone, rightly summarizes our failure: “We have been proceeding upon a false basis. We have conceived of the Christian life as an imitation of Christ. It is not an imitation of Christ. It is a participation of Christ.” “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.” (John 6:63)Having been born from above our citizenship is in Heaven. We have been “spiritually disfranchised of the world.” Christ plainly states, “Ye are not of the world.” We have been crucified to the world and the world to us. (Gal. 6:14) This death to the old form of life is what provides access through faith to life in the heavenly realms. “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God… For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:1, 3)There is an abundant fullness in the life of Christ. The Lord Jesus yearns to fill the temple of the body with His life and glory. (John 17:22-23, 26) He has a crucified, resurrected life that is obedient unto death under the severest temptations and testing.But we cannot experience this truth of our union with Christ in death and resurrection by a mere lip profession or determined assertion. This life cannot be copied. No imitation will avail. There must be a living participation by the Spirit through a death to the old self-life. I find the new life as I refuse the old—at the Cross. “Whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” As I reckon myself dead to my own will so I may be led by His Spirit, I am in a place to be lifted beyond death and into “the likeness of his resurrection.” The way of the cross is the way to Jesus; the way into the kingdom of God. To the natural mind this makes no sense, but this will be revealed to those who truely and whole heartedly seek Him...He knows who you are......Take Note: Hell is a real place, an eternal place of seperation from God and all His attributes; love, peace, joy, comfort, mercy, security, the list goes on, and on. There is no party in hell, no comfort, no light, no peace, no love......it is a place of torment, of terror, of seperation from all that is good. And it is for eternity! The only way of escape from Hell is through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, whether you believe this or not does not change the fact! You are not promised tommorrow, you are not promised the remainder of today, in fact you could die at any moment...then what? Consider it! Read the book! The Bible! It contains everything you need to know to escape hell and have complete freedom in Him, and know your destiny! Read the Bible...what are you afraid of, the truth? The truth will save your very life and set you free! Now it is up to you what you do about it, your blood is no longer on my hands.....you have been warned! Make the right choice! Choose Life!!!Not eternal damnation and torment! It is your choice I pray that you make the right one!! "The main difference between science and Christianity is this: science we must experience to believe; Christianity we must believe to experience."
