We may have to experience a dark place, but the Tree of Life is there for those of us who believe.
John 3:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Like Paul, I have a sin that so easily besets me. Unlike Paul, I often, enjoy it.
Like Paul, I have often cried out, even proclaimed the Lords deliverance:
~ “deliver us from this present evil world”
~ “be delivered from the bondage of corruption”
~ “the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work”
Romans 8:2
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Like Paul, I know who delivers me, I do know who will set me free, and that I must be set free from the law of sin and death.
Like Paul, I cling to the words of the Lord: for I am weak.
2 Corinthians 12:9
“My Grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Timothy 4:18
King James Version (KJV)
“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Shall deliver, … will preserve….. WONDERFUL…. How about my battle today?
2 Corinthians 1:10
King James Version (KJV)
“Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;”
Unfortunately, deliverance is apparently an ongoing process, like sanctification, We are delivered, We are daily being delvered, We will be completely delivered at some point.
This saddens me. I long for complete deliverence, complete submission, and total reliance on the Holy Spirit.
The Lord has a lot to do in my life.
Change me O, Lord….

As a young man, I was sure I would become a rich, famous and much loved, musician.
In reality, I have supplemented my income, for 50 years by playing piano. The painful truth is, no one comes specifically to hear me play.
If you happen to hear me play, you might recognize the tune and hum along, but I wouldn’t dazzle you with frills or cause chills to run up your spine.
I never worked beyond the basic skills I acquired as a child. As a result, I make a pleasent, un-remarkable noise.

There are good resons we tend to go with our MAN PLAN, rather then Gods. Evan after we are Saved, we are more old man, then new.
Salvation is just the start of our Sanctification, (separation unto Gods service).
We need to deliberatly draw closer to God, to allow the Holy Spirit to change us from our innermost man.
We tend to shy away from change.
What is the MAN PLAN, and why is it so distructive?
First off, the MAN PLAN can be summed up in one sentence.
“It’s ok God, I’ve got it from here.”
(Yes, I know a good plan when I see it. Hey somebody let me down).
When ever we take over for God, death and destruction follow. So how do we take over?…and “death and destruction, really?”

The all loving, all powerful, all knowing, Eternal, Creator and Supreme Ruler, had spoken Paradise into existence.
It was perfect, the lion lived in peace with the lamb, weeds grew beside, not in the flower beds, the wolves frolicked with the other animals.
Life was a day in the park, pleasent, a joy filled existence that should last forever.
God walked with man and woman in the cool of the day. All they ever needed or desired was theirs, at their finger tips, within reach.
Love was in the air, harmony prevailed, the weather was perfect, there was no rain on this parade.
Things were wonderful, exceptional, a dream come true. Until …
Man had a better idea. (We can be like God).
This frustrated the plan of God.
The MAN PLAN, was instituted: Death was introduced to Paridise. Weeds invaded the crops, man had to work for what he desired.
Worst of all; man was separated from God, no daily walk. Envy, Pride and Strife replaced peace, joy and love.
What a mess.
Then, God sent His Son:
Where are we today? Reunited with God, in eternal fellowship, love joy and peace, can and should rule in our lives.
God walks with man and woman in the cool of the day. All we ever need or desire is ours, at our finger tips, within reach. All we need do, is ask.
Things are wonderful, exceptional, a dream come true.
Gods plan for us today, Build His Church.
His Spirit has come, bearing Gifts. Gifts given specifically to Build His Church.
Perfect: … Until….
Man had a better idea, (gifts, we don’t need no stinkin gifts), our way is better.
The MAN PLAN, again.
Death was introduced to Paridise. Weeds invaded the crops, man had to work for what he desired.
Worst of all; man was separated from God, no daily walk. Envy, Pride and Strife replaced peace, joy and love.
What a mess.
Saints. We must learn from history. Please ask the Lords forgiveness. Ask the Spirit to empower to Build His Church.
If we walk in His power and grace…..we will experience victory.

Saints I believe this to be the most important post I have written. I believe it is Revelation Knowledge from the Lord.
Please prayerfully read, consider and comment, I desire to hear your thoughts.
Are you saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled and water baptized, is Jesus on your mind?
If so, you have found a new life!!!
Sadly there are many who have not.
A new life, is a gift from God, a gift that we must except and experience. (By allowing Jesus to live and reign in our hearts). We must learn to walk with Him, as we allow Him, to increase in our lives.

All of us, whether in church, life, or at work, tend to flow with the crowd. Trusting, contented, comfortably compliant.
Sailing along, not making waves, oblivious to any dangers that may lie in our path.
In our simplicity, we know not who we follow or where they are leading us.

In my post A Simple Truth #1, I explained why learning to truly Praise the Lord, is how we come to know Him better.
Psalm 76
King James Version (KJV)
“In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.”
A Simple Truth #1:
“In Judah is God known:” Judah simply means Praise.
By Praising God, we Magnify, Glorify, Exult His Majesty. We make Him first in our lives and lead others to recognize His presence. So let us look at:
A Simple Truth #2:
~”In Salem also is his tabernacle,”
Salem, simply means peace.
hitchcocks-bible-names-dictionary
“Salem. complete or perfect peace”
Peace is where He Resides.
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.”
We are His Tabernacle, His home, as we learn of Him, to trust in Him, to rely on and expect Him to bless us.
As we walk in His truth. PRAISE AND PEACE.
“There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.”
That is where we find protection from our enimies and the tools we must use to defeat them.
Find His peace, by singing, praying, meditation, repeating His Word. It is through knowing and believing His Word we have the victory.
Saints, I cannot emphasize enough, how important it is to know Gods Word.
His promises, providence and His principles for a Godly life.
2 Simple Truths, that will allow whosoever to stand fast and quit ye like men.
When we refuse these Simple Truths our religion becomes more important than our relationship.
Our rituals more important than His presence.
Our Worship Service a form of Godliness, that denies the Power of God.
Please acknowledge, accept and practice these Simple Truths. Allow the Lord access to your heart.
In Praise is God known. He resides in Peace.
He keeps us in perfect peace, when our mind is on Him, when we trust in Him.
Psalm 76
King James Version (KJV)
“In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.”

A simple truth. A truth so real to me, that it pains me when unbelievers, do not accept it.
~Jesus loves us.
~Jesus is the only way to the Father.
~Jesus gives true peace and joy.
Simple truths, not believed, laughed at, ridiculed, rejected.
Then there are the believers who refuse to believe these simple truths.
~The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is real and a special Gift, imparted to whosoever will believe.
~The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to us today to build His Church. From the 5 fold ministry to the Gifts in 1st Corinthians 12-14.
~There is no expiration date on the gifts and calling of God, they are forever, for whosoever will, receive, (accept), them.
Simple truths, not believed, laughed at, ridiculed,
It truly pains me when these simple truths are rejected by mankind, but there are other simple truths we need to recognize also.
The simple truths we find Psalm 76 for example.
Psalm 76:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
“In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.”
Simple truth #1:
~In Judah is God known:
The word Judah simply means praise. It was first revealed in the story of Jacob and Leah, the unloved wife.
She was the first to bear children for Jacob. They were named for the Lords reaction to her prayers. (Please check out the entire story).
Genesis 29:31-35 (selected parts)
King James Version (KJV)
“And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.”
“And Leah conceived, a son, and she called him Reuben: for, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction;” Reuben, means, looked or saw.
“And she bare a son; and said, Because the Lord heard I was hated, she called his name Simeon.” Simeon, means heard or listened.
“And she bare a son; Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, his name is called Levi.” Levi, means joined. (Our job as Gods Levites today is to join men to Him).
“And she bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: she called his name Judah;”
Judah simply means PRAISE.
Simple truth #1
~In Praise is God known.
A Simple truth, not believed, laughed at, ridiculed, rejected by the quiet, reverent churchs.
They complain about the 7\11 choruses, not understanding, the Power of repetition for memorizing and meditation of the Word. It seems to be ok to memorize the multiplication tables, but not the Word of God.
Singing and repeating Gods truths, builds us up in Him, makes us strong, gives us the Word in our hearts in our time of need.
To know God is to sing, tell, yell and play His PRAISE. SHOUT UNTO GOD WITH A VOICE OF TRIUMPH.
Let the world know of His love of us and our love of Him. We gain knowledge and power in PRAISE.
Psalm 22:3
King James Version (KJV)
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”
We are Gods chosen people today.
He inhabits our Praise.
If we would learn to Praise as a church, we could see, people comming to Salvation, our families finding peace and joy, maybe even those in need healed.
Praise shows Gods Name great. We Magnify, Glorify, Exult, Worship, lift high….as we humble ourselves and recognize His Majesty.
A Simple Truth #1:
~Please learn to let go and let God lead you into true praise.
As you sing and repeat Gods word, you can lose yourself in the joy and majesty, love and peace of God.
