“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? (Ecclesiastes 8:4)

Is the Word within us? Do we know it, accept it, embrace it, speak it, BELIEVE IT?  As Christians, there is Nothing More Important than the Word, (Jesus), living within us!

Where the Word of the King is, there is power!  Read it again, understand the simple sovereign truth.  Where the King’s word is there is Power!

God spoke everything into existence…(Genisis 1)  We must Repent and Confess to be saved.  (Romans 10:9 -10)  “If ye shall ask anything  in My Name I will do it.”  (John 14:14)

We sing and Praise the Power of the Blood, and that is Great.  We could not be In Him if not for the Power and covering of the Blood.

We mavel at His Mercy and Grace, His Love, Peace keep us wraped in His arms, knowing and understanding His presence.

But the Power, our Power the Power that He has put under our control, is in the Word of the King:

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Hebrew  11:3)

When we speak of Power, we are speaking of Energy.  Energy can and should be controlled.  We make dams to control the river and to create energy for electricity.

It is the same with many things we just need to combine these invisible substances to be blessed with the results.  Jesus says we can do this with words, His Words:

“Have faith in God.   For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”  (Mark 11:22b-23)

If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea, and it should obey you. ( Luke 17:6)

Why is it that believers have the Faith to beleave in Salvation but this other supernatural stuff, (Oh man), we need to learn to see and believe in Miracles, Signs, and Wonders?

God give us the Faith to believe (Salvation), we just need to ask.

“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 to as God hath dealt with every man the measure of faith.  (Romans 12:3)

The Faith to be saved is given to everyman, it is up to us grow that faith to walk with the Lord.

‘Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.’ (Jude 1:3)

‘But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost’ (Jude 1:20)

We must reach up on the shelve and ask the Lord for the Holy Spirits’ direction, He will teach us all we need to know. We can and will grow into the Christian Warriors we were meant to be.

The Word of the King resides within! We must nurture and allow it to grow within us. Allow Jesus to become the driving force of our lives. The Holy Spirit will Guide, Direct, and Protect us as we draw closer to Him.

I have had a time this year. In February I noticed a spot on my leg. My wife insisted a trip to Dr.

The spot was troubling, but the Dr was more interested in my Congestive Heart Failure. Hospital time 1.

We discovered I had Pulmonary Hypertension.

My heart had plenty of good air and blood going in but it was not able to send it out to the next area it was to service.

Finally, I understood why I would need to stop and rest do often. I had no energy or ambition.

Meanwhile, the little spot on my leg kept changing.

It was no longer a simple Red spot. On one leg. No, it was on both legs. A black scab that continued growth.

Well, the pants came off, it hurt, both legs had this growing black death, you could hardly look at it, without it hurting. Any thoughts of working, long gone.

That is when my daughter and wife mentioned my wardrobe.

I told them I was styling so I could go out in public (Walmart), and for right in.

So we are styling, I don’t seem to be good for much else at this point.

SO PANTS? WE DON’T NEED ANY STINKING PANTS!!!

Do you know what it is? What can we do? Anything? Nope. Nothing, not a thing. The life expectancy? If your number comes up with it, get ready to meet the Lord.

I would like to receive information from folks who have or are dealing with it.

Please contact me. Some, I guess might be keeping it a secret, but I sure don’t know why. If it is a secret thing please send me an email.

Thank you and God Bless.

The Palestinians are all upset that Israel fights back.  When attacked  they retaliate,  and Palestinians die. 

Surprise, surprise, surprise!  You learn something new every day. 

A disorganized rag tag bunch against a well trained army.  Wow!

We haven’t seen a victory for a small group of rebels since the American revolution, and we, at that time, had God on our side.

In the middle east  God is clearly, with Israel.  

I do not believe Israel is infringing on the human rights of the Palestinians.  They are free to own property, work and recreate wherever and whenever they please.

They want their own country,  I understand.  I believe they have been offered and have rejected many ways and plans to achieve this end.

They’ve rejected all offers because they’re real agenda is to remove Israel from existence.

Now, to what needs to be said, here in America:

Here in the US, we have our own rag tag bunch of revolutionarys.

Unlike Israel, our revolutionarys are not seeking a new country.  (I don’t think), but they do want to remove our government, police departments and any other hindrance to what they might desire.

They do not understand economic policies, and believe everything could and should be free.  The man that has worked tirelessly  to build his business has no right to a profit.  That money should be shared with those who have not worked. 

No our Revolutionaries, are part of our government.  They are the Liberal members of the Democratic Party, and they are not alone.

They are joined by several terrorist groups, including but not confined to AnTiFa, and BLM.  Both of these groups are not just anti-American, but also anti-∅Law Enforcement.

They demand, that we reject our history, be ashamed of our whiteness, and bow down to their every whim and cry.  Their desires and happiness are all that matters.

AnTiFa and BLM can and do kill each other, (no problem).  But let a police officer kill a black man, even one, in the midst of a horrible crime;  and riots, unrest, and trouble follow.

They Steal, Kill and Destroy, but we must stand back and allow them to hurt the rest of us.  They also want us to agree with the lie that Bob is transforming into Betty and call him her.

I refuse to humor their mental illness, a boy, is a boy, is a boy, even if he disfigures himself.   No thank you, we never should have closed the old State Hospitals for the mentally disturbed.  We need them today!

I am concerned that the American way, the American dream, that America itself, is in danger of losing to the Socialist mindset!

We can not allow those who do not understand how the economy works, how law and order keep us safe, who understand not, that we must have Moral, Godly, Strong Leadership.  (The Leader may be rude, seem to be mean, and immovable, and still, be just what we need.

We do not have to be seen to hate world leaders we do not agree with, but the smart man never shows publicly, how he feels, yet, the other leader knows where he stands. (Russia and Korea both, sat back and behaved.). 

How’s that working with our New Leader?

NUFF SAID!

Is it time?  Is my show on?  Can we go swimming now?  Is it time to pack for our trip? Are you about ready to go?  Are we having desert? 

How often have we heard this question, or asked it of ourselves?  

Am I ready to do the presentation?  Are my Ducks in a row? My Worms in the can?  The Monkeys in their cages?  Does the Dog have his bone?

Is It Time?  Do we really have to go back to work, (after vacation)?  Is It Time, to do the chores, wash the car,  mow the lawn?

Is It Time????   IS IT TIME???

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;   time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”   (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

IS IT TIME? Has become the most pressing question in my life!

Not for the time, and activities available, people to meet, work with, and have Fellowship with. No nothing so important. It is a simple question:

Yes or No? Which is it? IS IT TIME???

The time that most concerns me is: ‘CAN I GET SOME PAN PILLS NOW? IS IT TIME?

Often, too often it is not yet time. Help Lord, Please. Give me Grace, Mercy, Wisdom, and the stone to stand proud, fast, and ready.

In pain and out!

IS IT TIME?

As we navigate this crazy world, we need to look at the Wisdom that came before.

The Preacher, the Wisdom of the ages, God’s plans and desires explained and exposed. Mankind lifted above the ignorance and fear of the unknown. We must search.

‘I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:’ (Ecclesiastes 7:25)

“Yet I did spot one ray of light in this murk: God made men and women true and upright; we’re the ones who’ve made a mess of things.“ (Ecclesiastes 7:29 The Message)

The light overpowers the darkness! ‘GOD MADE MAN UPRIGHT!’ This simple truth brings us to the Wisdom of the Ages. It is man and man alone who has made the mess we are in.

We cannot blame the woman, (our first response), the evil one, (still not the right response), only ourselves, our free wills.

The Lord gave us the ability to accept or reject His perfect plan and we have chosen our path.

Our decisions have brought us to where we are today, and to this other simple truth.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. (Ecclesiastes 7:8)

‘BETTER IS THE END OF A THING!’

This is where I am living today. Is it the end? Am I physically about finished? Maybe, who knows? It is quite possible. Am I prepared? Yes!

My love and trust is in the Lord, and He has promised: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)

How long a life

So the outcome is out of my hands. The peace that God promises is a peace that passes all understanding, all we are required to do is to trust, (rely upon, belief, walk, understand and obey), the simple directions of the Lord.

One thing we fail to realize, the Lord asks very little of us: In Exodus 16 we find some of His first instructions. ‘Collect only enough manna to fulfill your needs TODAY. We often insist we must plan for the future.

Man’s plans are never in line with God’s perfect road map for our lives. He would rather we watch and pray. We desire mental, physical, and emotional movement. Something where we can say look what we did.

The Lord wants the Glory, Honor, and Praise! He is not one to share in this.

He is the Creator, the Supreme Ruler, the Almighty God. Ruler, King, Dictator, and ultimate lover of mankind.

Am I at the end of this time on earth? I sometimes pray that the pain would leave. That the true and perfect peace would find and engulf me.

In the last few years:

Arthritis- pain, uncomfortable, with the Lord, I walked. it through. Pain, and complain.

CHF- Congestive Heart Failure, not so much fun. Mainly out of it little to report. In Hospital for here come.

Stage 4 Renal Failure- Kidney failure, again mostly out of it. Nothing to share.

Pulmonary Hypertension- Interesting, the heart is unable to deliver fresh air and blood to the lungs. Not able to work or do much of anything. I feel good as long as I am stationary.

Calciphylaxis- My current complaint. Pain, cannot think, walk, talk. I cannot and do not enjoy any aspect of life.

So yes, the End will Certainly be better than the beginning.

‘One discovery: A woman can be a bitter pill to swallow, full of seductive scheming and grasping. The lucky escape her; the undiscerning get caught. At least this is my experience—what I, the Quester, have pieced together as I’ve tried to make sense of life. But the wisdom I’ve looked for I haven’t found. I didn’t find one man or woman in a thousand worth my while. Yet I did spot one ray of light in this murk: God made men and women true and upright; we’re the ones who’ve made a mess of things.’ (Ecclesiastes 7:26-29)

We hold this truth from Hebrews 6:18.

“These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he makes a promise, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath.“

We need to understand just what the Lord is saying to His Church, in the following scriptures:

Hebrews 6:1-3

“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

And this will we do, if God permit.”

For many years I would read this and think; What? That’s not right? What’s this about? That’s ridiculous? Leave the principles of the Doctrine? Then go on to perfection? How dumb is that?

Until it was revealed:

It was a Tuesday morning Men’s group, led by my friend Pastor Nelson Hopkins, (He does a Sunday morning service online), from Impact Church in Morehead City, NC. He is a man of Wisdom and Faith, (catch him if you can, you will not regret it).

Anyway, the word isn’t saying throw out the Doctrine, but to get deeper into the Word. Go beyond the milk and find the meat to chew on.

We know the Doctrine, the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

There is no need to go over it weekly, the Bible is full of truths to find. We should continue to grow. Sadly, some churches are tied to the Lectionary instead of the Bible.

It is a good thing to have available, but we should live by the Word, not the programs of man. (The Lectionary)

Hebrews 6:4-6

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”

Does this scripture apply to us all? In some ways yes.

As Christians we have been enlightened, we have tasted the heavenly gift of Forgiveness, we are Blameless in the Beloved. Yet there is much more than many believers fail to aspire to.

We are not taught how to partake of the Holy Spirit. The Gifts of the Spirit are available to any who will accept them. (1 Corinthians 12-14; Romans 12; Ephesians 4) We receive these Gifts when we ask and then receive that which the Lord desires us to have.

The Gift of Faith, of Healings, of Miracles. The problem, (what has frightened us), is the Gift of Tongues and Interpretation, probably the first and easiest of the Gifts the Lord would have us walk in. (Acts 2 is an example). We must be Christians to receive the Gifts.

Since it is a Gift that brings great joy as we experience our prayer language, many abused and failed to realize they control the Gifts and not the Gifts controlling us.

It is only after the Gifts are active in our lives. Jesus was baptized in the Holy Spirit, as He was Baptized in water, an act of obedience, for both Him and us. We should be Baptized in obedience of the Word, not of Repentance. Our focus needs to be aligned.

Believe and be Baptized. That is our charge. Once we experience the Power of the Holy Spirit the rest of the scripture becomes reality. We do not seek the Gifts, we do not believe we are Worthy to Work and live in them.

The Gifts are the tools the Lord gave us to build the Church, In the Old Testament, they showed God’s power and love. In the new Testament, it brought people to hear the Word of the Lord. It will do the same today.

Like the Hebrews of old, the Gifts are the straw that makes the building strong. Without the Gifts, we are building with hot air, we are not giving the people a chance to see, know, consider and understand that Jesus is God. (Isaiah 40:20)

I started the day planning to bring Bette to a Bible Study and sneak to McDonald’s for a breakfast burrito. (The perfect food, no sauce or anything needed).

Then I planned to go to church to write a post, and do a FB Live on the first 6 verses of Hebrews 6. (This we not to be.)

My problem started when I mentioned a sore spot on my leg. Bette decided that I should see the Dr. while there, the Doc found fluid in (?) my lungs, and sent me to the hospital.

So this is where I sit, fluid slowly leaving my body the natural way with some chemical help. If all goes well, I should be out in a day or two.

The ER, Doctors, and Nursing staff are as usual, charming, polite, efficient, and effective. The rooms and halls are spick and span, lunch was wonderful, and I expect a pleasant and productive time.

Thanks to Susan, Maddie, and all of Dr. Davis’s staff, they are all first-rate. Thank you for the excellent care over the years.

Well, tomorrow is a new day. I will get a burrito eventually. I might even get to write a post.

There are so many sick and hurting Believers. How and Why is this possible?

It tickles me to realize how we pick and choose what to believe. “You Must Be Born Again.” (John 3:3-7; 1 Peter 1:23) We have whole denominations built on these Words. We claim that if people do not use the Words, Born Again, they are not believers.

The Truth is, we must Confess and Believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord. That is what causes us to be Born Again, not declaring the Words.

Folks, Catholics recite the same Apostles creed as the rest of us. Have they added to the Word? Unfortunately yes, does it cancel out their Salvation? NO!

Believe and Confess the only requirement for Salvation. Praying to Saints or Mary? Nope, shouldn’t happen, but the Lord is bigger than we are.

I bring this up because as believers we fail to believe all the Words of the Lord. I see a weak and sickly church. A Church of unbelieving believers. Why do we cling to being born again but not to, John 14:11-14.

“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

Will Jesus heal?

‘And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.’ Matthew 4:24

‘But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;’ Matthew 12:15

‘And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.’ Mark 6:56

‘Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.’ Luke 4:40

‘And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; Luke 6:17

‘And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.’ Luke 6:19

Here are 6 Scriptures that tell us He heals all that are in need. So why are so many sick?

Our Faith is lacking: We don’t know, speak, sing, and live the word. We need to walk with and in the Spirit. Memorize, Meditate, Communicate the Word and Will of the Lord. Until we become more like Him, our Faith and the health of ourselves and those we love will suffer.

Renew your minds, fill them with the Truth of God’s Word.
