Isaiah 26:3
King James Version (KJV)
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Do you really trust the Lord? Are you concerned, worried, wondering who, what, when, where, how?

Pleasures for evermore: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Psalm 16:11
King James Version (KJV)
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
I believe this and feel, I live this. I am not always smiling or happy but the joy of Salvation is in my heart. I have no fear of this life, I try not to have concerns about money or health issues. “The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want. ”
I have experienced the Lords supply many times in my walk with Him. He doesn’t always meet my time table but He always comes through.
What Measure Faith? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Romans 12:3
King James Version (KJV)
” For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
Have you ever noticed, That God gives us all a measure of faith But fills us with the Holy Spirit.
What’s that all about?
How long, oh Lord? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
How long, oh Lord? How long will the heavens be as brass? How long will You ignore me?
Hide not Your face, Let your peace and joy fill my heart. Answer my plea.
You are my shepherd, I shall not want. Those are your words, Lord.
Your word is truth. You are not a man that you should lie.
Thank you lord, for the answers I do not yet see. I Love You Jesus.
Thanks for visiting.
bill theunfetteredpreacher cote
Know you are loved.
What? The Prodigal didn’t return?
Once saved always saved? Not biblical. I get such a kick out of people who say God has to do things the way they believe.
Please, understand this; God is love, and would have all come to the knowledge of salvation.
Depart from me; O Lord: – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Have you ever cried out, depart from me; O Lord, for I am a sinner?
Has the Lord ever done anything with you, to you, or through you, that was so big, you cried out, Lord depart from me?
Behaved himself wisely: -2- The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
“Behaved himself wisely:”
In the first post by this name we find David, in His youth being chosen by God, to be King of His Nation.
He was a “man after Gods own heart” and it mentions 4 times in 1 Samuel 18, that he “Behaved himself wisely.”
* He went where Saul sent him. (Into harms way, into battle and won).
* He went in and out among the people. (they knew and loved him and the “Lord was with him”; Saul was afraid of him).
* He behaved himself wisely: (Saul became his enemy, the people believed in and set store on his name).
He became a great king, a leader and lover of God.
Until he wasn’t.
Grieve not – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
GRIEVE NOT :
That’s really a pretty silly demand, you can hardly tell someone not to grieve the death of a loved one, or when seeing someone who had promise, fall away into sin or rebellion.
It hurts us in the center of our being. It makes us sorry, sad, disappointed or grieved.
We do have the power to stop the Lord from being grieved though.
Bring Joy to God – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station bill
The secret to putting a smile on Gods face:
My wife revealed it to me this morning. She lamented that she hadn’t spoken on the phone with Celeste, our daughter for 2 or 3 days.
That caused me to think of the joy I receive when she calls me to say Hi, how are you, I love you.
I am sure God receives joy when we just call on Him to tell Him we love Him, to thank Him for His many blessings. (When we aren’t asking or complaining ).
That’s it, tell Him you love Him, Thank Him. Praise and Worship. …THAT WILL MAKE GOD SMILE.

Is Fasting the answer? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
My wife told me this AM that I am reverting to my heritage. Negative City. I get it honestly, I don’t think my Mother ever ate a meal out, that was perfect.
The meat, tough, under or over cooked, or the vegetables raw, hard or soggy, tea too sweet, ect….
Unfortunately, I tend to be a lot like that, not about food but people who have the nerve to disagree with my enlightened views.
So to remedy the problem, I need to get back into the Word, Fast and Pray. Expecting the Lord to honor His Word, putting His Yoke on and walking with Him.
So yes, Fasting is a big part of the answer. I will humble myself and pray, waiting for His guidince, direction and protection. Knowing He hears our plea.
Lord, draw me close to You, thank You that in the Holy of Holies I will receive Grace and Mercy in my times of need.

after their own lust: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
What is lust? Is it only lust at first sight? Or is it a deeper, more serious problem, something we don’t grow out of?
1 John 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
When any of our desires become larger than our desire for the Lord, we find ourselves in trouble. I find myself desiring a pulpit, a following, as I do the mighty work of God.

Quick read, awesome truth
So I gave them up: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Psalm: 81. 12. “So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.”
Is this what is happening in our Churches in America? Once build on a Godly foundation. The Lord is giving us up, to our hearts’ lust, as we walk in our own, rather than Godly counsel or wisdom.
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
1 Samuel 15:22-23
King James Version (KJV)
“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”
The word of the Lord from Samuel, to Saul the King.
I am concerned that today in our “I’m forgiven” world, we don’t give any weight to the Old Testament. Yes, Jesus forgives us when we repent and turn to Him and I am thankful He does. (But)
That doesn’t erase the fact that the Lord requires us to be living Sacrifices. That means, we subject ourselves to Gods will and wants, rather than our own.
like a flood – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Isaiah 59:18
” So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”
How do you read this verse? In the KJV it reads:
” the enemy shall come in like a flood, “
The enemy is overwhelming, defeating, drowning us.
We are overpowered, then the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Tests of Faith : The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
What are the biggest tests of your Faith?
For me, the biggest, hardest, test?
In a church full of older, sick and dieing people. How do you pray a prayer of Faith, for people who believe in Jesus, even love Him but do not accept the Gifts as being available today?
I believe in healing, I believe in a God of Power, Might and love. I am 62, can’t see, arthritis in my feet, ankles, knees. What a living, stumbling, limping testimony, to the greatness and goodness of God.
I find it easy to pray for a young person who is sick. They haven’t lived long enough to deserve the pain and suffering. They have a life to live, mountains to conquer, love to find.
On the other hand in a failing church, full of believers that are failing also. I find it hard to pray a prayer of Faith.
Life is a precious commodity. The Lord brought me here, I thought to be a help, to guide to the way of life.
I was sure He would open the flood gates and His Spirit would ignite His Holy Fire. There would be true Praise and Worship, we would see people added to His Church
Lord, show me Your Way. Fill me with Your Spirit of Truth and Life. Either release Your Spirit of Love and Grace or send me where I belong.
You have called me to more. Is it time to open the door?
Turn ye unto me, – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
The most constant cry of the Lord: ” Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.”
The Lords greatest desire, His plan from the Garden. To walk with man, to have a personal, all encompassing relationship with You and Me, both of us individually.
We read of John, leaning on the breast of Jesus; the only Apostle to die a natural death. Do we think he is the only one Jesus loved? No; I am here to tell you, the breast of Jesus is available to us all.
He was the one. Abraham, was the one. Noah, was the one. Enoch, was the one. Billy Graham is the one. Are you the one?
How well you know and how close you walk with Him is up to you. You are the one who chooses to accept the offer of His presence, His person, in your life.
Are you obedient? Are you repentant? Are you trustworthy? Humble, teachable, moldable, flexible and thankful for His Grace?
Lord, I long to be one of the ones who have chosen to rest on Your breast. To take up Your Yoke and to walk in Obedience and Faithfulness in Your Love.
One whom You can trust. Whom You can Annoint, to do Your work…to lead whosoever will to Salvation. To heal the sick, give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, make the lame walk.
Lord, I need to serve a God of Power. Please Lord, may I be the one? Lord, mold me, make me, use me, please.
Two Bills and a Mel: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
WARNING: A STRONG POSSIBILITY SOME WILL BE OFFENDED. DO NOT READ IF YOUR POLITICS COMES BEFORE THE LORD.
A few years ago Mel Gibson was the rage. Most handsome, most desirable. Great story, great actor/director, top of his field.
Then the Spirit of God got ahold of him, he made “The Passion of Christ ” movie. He was warned not to, “it’ll loose money, alienate fans, ruin your career. ”
It made him bigger and more loved then ever. Then his life fell apart. (He fell from grace) Everyone turned on him.
How about Bill Cosby, well respected comedian, actor /director, entertainer. I loved him as a child, “Noah” and so many other great sketches on his albums.
As an adult I enjoyed the Cosby Show, loved the whole family. What happened?
He stood up and said: “Black youngsters needed to pull up their pants, learn to speak English and work hard.”
He received criticism, that was not enough punishment, stuff hidden for thirty years, now comes out. Everyone turned on him. If he did it, he is a sleeze; but why now? It’s kind of late, isn’t it?
The other Bill, Bill Clinton. The titular head of a political party. Lied to the American people, accused of several rapes, impeached, disgraced.
He Keeps on keeping on, Nothing hurts him for long. Why? He doesn’t pretend to be a Godly person, abortion is OK, gay marriage is great, socialism is the plan.
The moral of the stories :
If you try to do the right thing, the good thing, the Godly thing. The Devil and his minions will push and pull to find your weakness, (secret sin), untill they ultimately destroy your usefulness for good.
You have to be strong in the Lords love to survive.
How sad when the Righteous have fallen. There is no mercy from the world for them.
If you believe up is down, wrong is right, black is white.
The world is your oyster. “It’s only sex.” “Everyone lies about sex.” “His intentions were good.” “He stands for womens rights.”
Sorry if that offends some.
That is how it appears to me.
Lord, save us from the judgment of the world. May we judge righteously, carefully and Godly judgment. Help us to walk in the light.
Forgive us and turn us toward You.
