Fellowship with God: Arnold Smith. theunfetteredpreacher
The Lord wants to be in fellowship with us. That’s why He created us. It’s not His fault if we don’t have a close personal relationship with Him. He will draw close to us if we’ll seek Him.
Spending time in His Word is one way we get closer to Him. He reveals Himself through the Bible, His written Word. His will becomes real as we study what He says. One thing He tells us is that praising Him is one other way to.experience His presence. He inhabits the praises of His people. That means we can experience His reality! We no longer have to question His existence once we experience His presence. He leaves no doubt when He manifests Himself. When God spoke to me, an agnostic, I KNEW it was God! And it changed my life! I have my life to Him and became a.minister within 6 months. That was in 1973!
As I served Him, He took care of all my needs. It would take a book to tell all the miracles I’ve experienced over the years.
But the most precious experiences I’ve had is when God Himself touches me. There’s nothing like having God show up! There’s no doubt as to.His love for you either! His presence is so real and close there’s no question about His being with you!!!
Obedience is another way to experience His reality. As we walk in His will, He is pleased with us and.let’s us know it. By His revealing a truth in His Word or giving us special blessings He can let us know He’s giving us favor.
Being in relation with Him is His goal, not keeping all the rules. Enjoy knowing Him and spending time praising and worshipping Him! He’ll become REAL!!!
TO YOU!!!
Arnie was one of my Bible Teachers 35 years ago. A man who knows and loves the Lord. A blessing to all who listen with open hearts and minds.

Are Christians, Satisfied? theunfetteredpreacher
As Christians, God promises that we shall be Satisfied. Some of us are not. Our eyes can not see and in hearing we do not understand. (Ecclesiastes 1:8). We love money, abundance and increase. This is all vanity. (Ecclesiastes 5:10). There is no Satisfaction.
There are times when He Satisfies our desires, but brings leaness to our souls. (Psalms 106:13-15)
Yet, the Lord still promises to Satisfy.
Psalm 105:40
“The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.”
“The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.”
To find Satisfaction, there are requirements.
We must be Righteous, Faithful, Meek, and Seeking more of Him. (Psalm 37:18-19;Psalm 22:26;Psalm 36:7-8 Psalm 17:15)
He promises the Levites, (Pasters, Teachers, Christian workers, the homeless and fatherless), that they will be cared for and Satisfied. (Deuteronomy 14:29)
The Lord has called and chosen us and if we allow He will cause us to Seek Him and dwell In His courts, and be Satisfied with His Goodness.
“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.” (Psalm 65:4)
Revelation 17: 14.
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
The Called, Chosen and Faithful will see the Victory of the Lamb. We must allow His will to be done, in our lives.

Disappointment: theunfetteredpreacher
I am disappointed! WHY? Because I believe the Scripture.
1 Corinthians: 4:20
“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.”
When I was first seeking God, I begged Him to show me that He was a God of Power and Might, not just words.
Growing up in a Catholic Church, I heard all the words, wondered at the mystery, and was disappointed with the reality.
When I was saved, I was introduced to a God of Power and Might, a God, who was alive, loving, comforting, healing, who gave true joy and peace.
A God who knew and provided my needs before I knew them myself. He was within me, around me, all I sought, wanted or needed.
I was part of a community of believers. Bold, working in the Gifts and Calling of the Lord.
Acts 4:29-31
King James Version (KJV)
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”
Where did their boldness come from? The Lord stretching forth His hand to heal, and signs and wonders happening by the Name of Jesus.
Some 30+ years later, I am disappointed! The body of believers don’t believe.
We see few if any signs and wonders, we stay home from Church when sick, so we don’t spread our colds or flu.
We don’t expect signs, wonders and miracles, they just don’t happen anymore. WHY NOT?
Is God not the same yesterday, today and forever?
Has His ability to preform said works, diminished?
Expired?
Has he forgotten how?
No, we seem to be content, we are saved, loved by God, the redeemed of the Lord.
What more could we want?
I will tell you what I want!
The Power of God, in my life, real, and mighty for the pulling down of strong holds, powerful for the saving of souls.
Wonderful for healing, comforting, bringing peace and joy to the afflicted, the lost, depressed, all those in need of a touch from God.
The Kingdom of God in POWER. The Lord honoring His Promises in MY LIFE.
How and when, will I see this? When I am totally His.
When we like Elijah, speak and act on His Word, even in the face of the King. When we tell His story like Stephen, even as we are being stoned to death.
We are not bold. We are not powerful. We really are not faithful, true to His calling, active in His work.
Well maybe you are…
I sure fall short. I am disapointed, desolate and afflicted. I long to be true, called, chosen and faithful.
I have answered the call, been accepted into the chosen. My failure, is in being faithful.
I am the problem. “I”, “I”, “I”… this truth is devastating.
Like this home, covered in ivy, the temple of the Holy Spirit within me, is covered and strangled by my wants, desires, my sin and shame.
Lord, please, change my heart, my mind, my life. May I be a man after Your own heart and desires.
May I be a vessel, You can use to proclaim Your Kingdom in Power.
May Your promise of signs, wonders and miracles follow… Because I believe. Amen

Because the Lord: theunfetteredpreacher
Because the Lord:
Why do I love, trust, and wait on the Lord? He has proved to be my refuge and strength and an ever present help in times of trouble? (Psalms 46:1)
I know He has for me. Here are some reasons for loving, trusting and waiting on the Lord.
Because the Lord:
Has heard my voice, my prayers and desires. (Psalm 28:6; 116:1-2). I will call upon him as long as I live.
I will Bless and Praise the Lord. Because the Lord: has dealt bountifully with me. (Supplied my needs, protected me, delivered me from evil and set me on the Rock). Because I have set my love on Him. (Psalm 13:6; 91:14)
Just a few reasons why I love, trust and wait on the Lord.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom: theunfetteredpreacher
The Mysteries of the Kingdom:
Jesus spoke in Parables, so that those who had hearts that were hard to the Gospel, would in; “seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” (Matthew 13:13)
Yet, those whose hearts were open would ‘Know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven’. (Matthew 13:11)
So what are these Mysteries?
The first is that we become children of God, like the Jews, by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins. (Ephesians 3:6)
It is interesting to me that before I was saved there really was no such thing as sin. (If it felt good, do It, tastes good, eat It, and if you like it do it again.)
As long as it was legal, it was fine. If it was illegal, it was ok unless you were caught.
When the Lord opened my heart to recognize sin, I discovered Repentance. Repentance led me to Belief, which caused me to become Righteous. Which, in turn, led me to Confession and Salvation.
A journey that happened in the blink of an eye.
Knowing that mystery was a life changer, yet there was more to be Revealed.
Paul received this Revelation in a personal meeting with Jesus. (Ephesians 3:3) We may not have been blinded, (like Paul) when we met the Lord, but we received the same Revelation of the Love and Grace of Jesus Christ.
Paul continued, as we should, to explain the mystery to others, we are to be faithful stewards of the mysteries of the Kingdom, calling all to the Knowledge of Christ. (Ephesians 3:9-10; 1 Corinthians 4:1)
We should pray the Lord will open the door for us to effectively share this blessing. (Ephesians 6:19) That the lost would come to Christ.
This is only the beginning of the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. I hope you join me, to explore more.

It is given unto you to know: theunfetteredpreacher
“It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them, it is not given.”. (Matthew 13:11)
To Know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Is that not, what we who love Him, desire? It should be.
Jesus spoke in Parables, for those who had ears to hear, eyes to see, and hearts that would receive the Truths He Spoke. How much of the Truth, do we believe?
It is said, that Thomas Jefferson, had cut out the scriptures he liked, to make his personal Bible, and like him, we all have our own, individual Bible. The Scriptures we hold dear and true. The parts we cling to and walk in. Whether it really is what the Word said or meant.
This is why there are so many Denominations, Sects, and Divisions in the body of Christ. We choose what parts of the Word are for us today. Then discard the rest.
This is a dangerous game.
Matthew 13: 12.
“For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.”
We have the knowledge of repentance and salvation, do not stop seeking there. Revelation Knowledge is available for all who seek it.
