We wait for light: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

“Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.” (Isaiah 59:9)

When Judgement is delayed or rejected, darkness increases.

If we allow the miss deeds of the politically connected to stand, we lose more of ourselves. Our freedoms, our righteousness, our ability to defend our way of life.

When we watched past administrations, apologise, ask forgiveness, bow down to anyone other than God, we slid a little lower on the path to perdition.

Darkness is conquering the light, because the right will not defend themselves. We are afraid of being called heartless, cruel, homophobic, racist etc…

We are not! We must stand for and in the light. We must be sure to promote justice for all, not just the few. No one should be above the law. Democrat or Republican.

Laws are made by Congress, the Courts should follow the Constitution to uphold who and what we are.

Legal Votes should all be counted. Others, thrown out!

1 Peter 4:7-11

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:7-11

The end of everything is near.

The End Times: Deuteronomy 29:29

Therefore, practice self-control,

Fruit of the Spirit:

(Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.)

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

and keep your minds clear so that you can pray.

(Philippians 4:6-9

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.)

Above all, love each other warmly, because love covers many sins.

Food Service: chicken

Welcome each other as guests without complaining.

Entertaining angels:
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others.

Ministry Gifts: Romans 12; Ephesians 4; Spiritual Gifts. 1 Corinthians 12-14

Whoever speaks must speak God’s words.

Speak God’s Words- know, not telephone book, dictionary, within.

Whoever serves must serve with the strength God supplies so that in every way God receives glory through Yeshua Christ.

Serve with Power – God shines through

Glory and power belong to Yeshua Christ forever and ever! Amen.
Revelations 5:13

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

We must know the Lord have His word within if we desire to do His will.

The Sad Truth:  bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

I was tuning a very nice woman’s piano today and conversing about the Word of God.   I had opined how we do not have the reverence of the Word that they did in the Old Testament.

The woman pointed out how lucky we are to have the Word available to us whenever we desire to read it.  She is both right and wrong.

In Nehemiah, someone had to read the Word to the people and there were others to help them to understand.  Today we can read it ourselves and read a commentary if we have questions.

Sounds good, right?

It isn’t.  The Word is no longer precious or rare, now it is ignored or used as a telephone book.  (Which we no longer use either).

What good is having the Word, if it is not giving life to those who have it?  How many are studying to show themselves approved?

They would sing scripture all day, we want more verses, never mind what the Word says.  We know better.  It saddens me to see how little the Word affects today’s Christians.

If we disagree, we throw it away.  Again We Know Best!  Lord help us, please.  May the Word come alive in our hearts and minds.  May it changes us, into Your Image.

Our Perspective: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

On God:
He won’t send anyone to Hell, Jesus is just alright, we are ok in His sight.

On Sin:
God only cares about the big ones:
Murder, rape, fraud, bodily harm… Victimless crimes are not sin.

Truth:
God is a Holy God and demands a Holy People.   God sits on His Throne and does as He pleases. (Ps 115)

As slaves to Sin-  before Salvation, we live in Sin
As Christians:  We pass through the Wilderness of Sin.  (Exodus 16)

How long will you stay in this Wilderness?  It is our choice.
What is Sin in this Wilderness?
Murmuring and complaints.  The Start of our trouble.
Disobedience:  It’s the Simple Things, the Evil Heart of Unbelief.
We must walk in Faith, Thanksgiving, and Praise, to become victorious.

If we do not follow the simple, we will never do the great.  If He cannot trust us to follow, He may not bother to lead us, He can leave us feeding the swine.
,
We must give ourselves totally to Him.  Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength.   Then we will be ready to serve.

The Mystery Behind the Mask: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

I know I am terrible person, but, just seeing the top of the nose, the eyes and eyebrows, somehow causes me to wonder about the rest of the face.

I picture them in my mind, everyone is perfect. A great mouth and chin, a wonderful smile that matches the sparkle of their eyes, and laughter that comes from deep within.

Then my mental picture is shattered.

I see their picture ID. Can this be the person I am speaking with? Apparently yes. Oh well, life is full of surprises.

I said I was terrible.

I have Tasted Freedom.  I Have been to America; BC, (before COVID)

IT WAS GRAND!

I had two doctors’ appointments late on Tuesday afternoon.  We went to town early to catch lunch at one of our favorite eateries.

We arrived, put on our masks for the dangerous walk into the restaurant and to our table, and in fear and trembling entered the door.

There were eight to ten woman in hospital scrubs, laughing, joking, and leaving to go back to work.  Not a Mask among them.

We looked;  none of the wait staff, cooks, busboys, nobody had on a mask.  Only two masks were visible.  Mine and Bettes.

We looked at each other, pulled of the masks, and with huge smiles found our table and understanding the waitress, enjoyed our food, and our day.

I will not say where this was.  the Mask Nazis would shut it down in a minute.  How have we allowed this to happen to this once great country?

Please vote!  I pray for you to vote with knowledge and wisdom.  I believe in the system.  I have a problem with all the changes this year.  It seems to be a clear call for fraud.

Vote in person!  Have an ID with you!  Be on the Lookout for those who would cheat!

Where Do You Live? bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

There are 3 stages of the Christian life. The first is the realm of the World.

We all start out as Slaves to Sin: The Devil is the Prince and Ruler of this World, he has us under his control. We do not recognize sin, for what it is, and refuse to accept the Love of God in our lives.

After we have been touched by the Holy Spirit and begin to follow and love God we first must enter the Wilderness of sin.

This is a different place than beig a Slave to Sin. Now our Sin becomes a choice. We choose to murmur and complain, instead of praise and thanksgiving. Rebellion instead of Complacent.

This is the Wilderness of Sin. We have experienced the Majestic Power of God, He has Forgiven us, healed us, set us free from the Power of the Evil One, and we choose to complain and blame the Lord that our lives are not perfect.

It is our choice to stay in or leave this Wilderness. It is our Free Will, that controls our attitude and our actions.

We can read about the Wilderness of Sin in Exodus, 15-16. It is a Wilderness with borders, we need to cross into the Promise. More on this theme coming.

Graditude; an Attetude: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

Our new Pastor, Donald Thompson, today started a new series about Gratitude, starting with Exodus 17.

The Hebrew was in the desert and in need of water, Moses was to strike the rock and water flowed. He emphasized how the Lord had been supplying their needs, yet they complained.

It was a good message, but I was captivated by the first verse in Exodus Chapter 17:

“And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.”

Like the Christian of today, the Hebrews had to journey from the Wilderness of Sin. Yet as we read further there remained Sin Within, and that is our ongoing problem in the Church.

We fail to leave the Sin behind, we all have a sin that so easily besets us. (Hebrews 12:1) We keep that sin, feed that sin, enjoy that sin, hate it, but cannot release that sin It has a hold on our lives.

So, should we ignor it? Enjoy it? Embrace it? NO!!!

We must learn to fast and pray, trust, and relie on the Lord to give us the strength and the ability to overcome it. (James 4:7; 1 John 5:4,5; Matthew 17:21)

We must not only leave the wilderness of Sin but the Sin itself if we are to become all that the Lord would have us to be. Will we all conquer this sin?

I believe that the Apostle Paul fought sin in his life faithfully, I know he overcame it in the end, but lord what a struggle. He is an example to us all. Fight the good fight. (2 Timothy 4:7)

Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard? theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit,, Walking with God , , , , , , , , , ,

Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard?

1 Corinthians 15: 34

“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”

Isaiah 40: 28-31

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

It is a wonderful thing, to learn to wait on the Lord. As a new Christian, I struggled with finding my place in the Kingdom, I had gotten the Holy Ghost goosebumps and electric shock when these Christians said, ‘God Bless You.’ to me.

I was blessing everyone I met the first few months of my salvation. I was the God Bless You, guy. The people/of the world had quite a laugh. I was just full of Joy and the Holy Spirit. Yet I was ineffective at bringing folks to the good news.

So we learn the Roman Rd and other plans to lead people/to/Christ. (All pretty useless).

No, we learn to share the Lord by spending time waiting on the Lord, sitting at the feet of Jesus, learning of Him, and then sharing Him, not just the Scriptures. The woman at the well, the Legion, both just shared what Jesus did for them. they didn’t have Scriptures, just personal knowledge.

It is a shame that He is not proclaimed. Has He not impacted your life? If He has, share.

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit,, Walking with God , , , , , , , , , ,

I am continually dumbfounded. People are demanding that we humor their delusions. They are men, claiming to be women.

We are expected to validate their foolishness, they are not men or women, but one of the other 159 genders they claim.

We are allowing the leftest cities and states to destroy their public and private buildings and properties. It is ok, that they attack law-abiding citizens, block highways, injure police, and anyone else they desire.

We allow them to hold up the reopening of their states, the economy, the right to go to church, eat out, gather together unless it is to demonstrate against the current administration.

Saints, we need to stand behind President Trump, the rule of Law, and common sense. We must stand fast, against the lefts run for Socialism. The American way of life is on the auction block, and we could easily lose it.

Where do you stand? Will you fight for truth justice and the American way. I certainly hope so.

Messengers of The Lord God: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

Messengers of the Lord or Messengers of God, is there a difference?

In the story of Hagar, she ran away from Saria twice. The first time in Genesis 16, the messenger, (angel), of the Lord told her to return under Saria’s rule.

She would have a child and call him Ismael, (God Hears) because God heard her destress, who would have many descendants and be a great ruler. (Genesisn16:7-11)

The second time Ishmael was about 13, Issac had been born. The messenger of God heard the boys cries.

Abraham had sent Hagar and the boy away. When God had heard his cry, he told Hagar, Ishmael would be a great nation, the boy became a great archer and his mother found him a wife. (Genesis 21)

She and the boy were freed from Sarah.

Angels aren’t Babies with Wings: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote angels, Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit,, Walking with God , , , , , , , , , ,

Angels, messengers of God, the Lord, or the devil, are not Babies with wings. The first Angels mentioned in the Bible are the Cherubs. They are charged with protecting the Tree of Life from those not worthy to partake.

The Lord had representations of them on the Tabernacle in the desert and in Solomon’s Temple. The Lord flew on them and they had 4 faces, 4 wings, and 4 wheels. The Lord speaks from between the Cherubims, who were over the Mercy seat, of God.

In Isaiah 6 we find another type of Angel, the Seraphin. their job is to Praise and Exalt the Lord, They also brought the message of sin being purged from Isaiah, so he could do the Work of the Lord.

Notice the cherubs protect God, the Tree of Life, while the Seraphim Praise and do the bidding of the Lord.

Next, we will look at the Archangels, the Angels of God, and the Angels of the Lord. I believe we will see a difference in their assignments and actions.

Isaiah. 6
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain, he covered his face, and with twain, he covered his feet, and with twain, he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8 Also, I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Charubs- Not Babies with Wings 2: bill theunfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote angels, Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

Cherubims are the first angels mentioned in the Bible. We have many drawings of them as babies with wings. This could not be farther from the truth. In Genesis 3:24 we find the Lord God placed Cherubims at the east end of the Garden to protect the Tree of Life, with a flaming sword.

In Exodus 25:18,22, in the building of the Tabernacle, the Lord had Moses put upon the Mercy Seat 2 Cherubims with wings extended over the Mercy Seat. The Lord would speak to the high Priest from between the Cherubims.

The Lord had the curtains of the Tabernacle to have renderings of Cherubs. In 2 Samuel 6:2, we find the Lord of Hosts dwells between the Cherubims. In Samuel 22:11, the Lord rides upon a Cherub.

When Solomon built the New Temple, in the place where the high priest spoke with the Lord he had 2 giant .charubims built. The Walls were engraved with the images of Cherubims.

In Ezekiel 10-41, we find some Cherubs that had 4 faces, 4 wings, and 4 wheels. The face of a Cherub, a man, a lion, and an eagle. The Glory of God was over the cherubims.

We find the cherubs standing before and protecting the Tree of Life from all who have not given their lives to Him. He speaks to us from between them.

Am I your Enemy? bill the unfetteredpreacher cote

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Serving God, Living in the Holy Spirit, , , , , , , , , , ,

Galatians 4:16

“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”

‘YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!’

A Famous line from a great movie yet it is the truth of the matter.

We are still locked down because of the horrible Pandemic that 98% of those afflicted recover. We must keep social distance in Church if we are allowed to go to Church.

We cannot hold political rallies, while protests and riots are now, peaceful, promoted activities. The Truth (of medications that fight this virus, and of the Riots that accompany these peaceful protests), is being hidden, removed from our social networks and lies are the New Normal.

It troubles me that so many on the left refuse to look beyond the ‘news’ they follow to find the Truth.

Then there is the Gospel.

We are living in a time that doesn’t believe or acknowledge that we should (as Christians), be full of Faith and the Power of the Holy Ghost. Seeing people Saved, Healed, Comforted, and Loved, as Jesus told us to be.

We have allowed the devil to persuade us, that God no longer cares to heal and help those in distress. The Bible tells us that everyone who touched Him were made whole. (Mark 6:56)

Why are we so quick to accept this lie of the devil over the Word of God?

The reason we accept that lie is we no longer know how to touch the Lord. We do not humble ourselves, fast and pray, intercede for the lost and hurting, we seem to believe asking Him to Save us is as far as it goes.

We are babies, refusing to grow into the men and women of God, we have erased that which we disagree with from the Bible and cling to that we accept.

“But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.” (Psalms 115:3)

We must go back, re-read Hebrews, move beyond the basic principles of Salvation, and into the meat of the Word. To learn and Walk in the Power of God, when the Church increasing daily with those who would be saved.

Galatians 5:7

“Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?“

The only one who can hinder us is ourselves, we are the masters of what we believe, accept, and promote of the Gospel of Christ. According to Your Faith, be it.
