one thing I know: – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

One thing I know. …

If there was only one thing I knew, it would be the fact that Jesus saved me and gave me a new life.  This scripture,  is the statement of a man born blind.

John 9:25
King James Version (KJV)
“He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”

What is it that gives us that confidence,  Continue reading

all the trees of the field : -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Isaiah 55:12
King James Version (KJV)
“For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

Back when I was traveling as an Evangelist,  one of my favorite and first things I would do, was to teach this song and how to clap to it.  It always brought  smiles of joy as the Lord touched those who participated.

It opened the door for the sharing of the Word. The problem was, I wasn’t a very good preacher back then.  I didn’t understand how to feed His sheep.

I was 12 and quite a thrill to see this in the big parade.   James warns us about being Double minded.

James 1:8
“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 4:8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

Joshua 24
choose you this day whom ye will serve;”

Who do you choose, are you following the road to perdition?  Or the Way of Salvation?

“as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

God hath chosen thee, – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Scripture from Acts 22:

“The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.  For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.”

The prophetic words of Ananias, the devout man, that God sent Paul to when he was blinded.

These words apply just as much to those of us who are called to serve the Lord today.

Other paths to heaven? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Is it possible to be saved with out proclaiming Jesus as Lord?  Think about it.  Enoch has been with the Lord since Genesis, Elijah, since 1 Kings, we know Moses is there, he was seen on the Mount of Transfiguration.

I can only believe Noah, Abraham, David, Daniel , all that are listed in Hebrews 11, are there;  none of them knew the Resurrected Jesus.

How did this happen and could it still happen today?  Don’t get nervous,  “by no other name can men be saved”.

“My grace is sufficient for thee: “-The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

All my Christian life I have heard of Pauls thorn in the flesh, “it is his eyes, or religious Jews “.

I see in the scriptures that he had problems with his sight, no denying that and with the religious, still a problem for those seeking God today.

Do I think he would seek the Lord for either of these things,?  No, he rebuked the religious and Satan alike.  No this thorn went much deeper.

1 Corinthians 12
“lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.   And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

“My grace is sufficient for thee: ”
