The Saints in Houston: theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living, Walking with God , , , ,

The devastation, heartbreak, and sorrow for the people of Houston is felt throughout this great country.

The Cajun and Waco Navies, the first responders, the next door neighbors, friends, strangers…. everyman.

All pulling together, helping one another, working, crying, praying.

A picture of love, in the most trying of times.

Then we have the commentators. Shoes, big buildings not available, Confederate Flags flown by rescuers.

My advice, to all of us who are not there, in the fray….

Pray, send cash to the Salvation Army or the organization of your choice.

Pray, Cry, and Pray some more. Then:

1 Thessalonians: 4:11-12

“And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”

Look after your own attitude, heart and mind.

The Lord will deal with those we think are gaming the system.

Not our monkeys or circus….

GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL.

My Story: theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living, Walking with God , , , , ,

The Fence:

We had an old wooden fence around our front porch.

The spindles were not all even in its spacing, and our dog had many avenues of escape.

Bette, my sweet wife, wanted the new prefabricated fence.

Prefabricated? Yeah, right,… delivered in pieces… with directions for assembly.

The top picture, was the first to be put together. I was so proud… straight, leval… (pretty work). lol

It took my wives help to fit the spindles into the top rail and connect it to the end posts.

The next step? Turn the corner. The desire? To match the hight of the first piece.

Looks like I was one half inch low…. I didn’t notice at the time. I finished that section. (Again could not have got the top rail on without Bette’s assistance).

Again straight and leval, all the way down the other sections.

So pleased with myself, (and thankful for Bette’s assistance), only the gate left on the far end. I sat in my rocker to admire my fine work.

One word… SATISFACTION. until, … I noticed that second section, at the corner.

Now, I know, it should have been cleaned and painted first. It wasn’t. Nuff said.

No, it was the corner itself.

So proud of it being straight and leval. How did I end up higher than the first section?

I didn’t notice I had not knocked the top rail to the bottom of the clip it hooked to.

So the rest of the fence is higher than the original.

No worries…. I can live with and laugh at my mistakes.

It will still keep the dog inside. (We hope).

It still looks ok.

No the fence really isn’t the point of the story.

The story is the Gospel, Jesus gave us the first section.

Straight, leval, strong and true.

Full of Power to heal the sick, comfort the brokenhearted, to save the lost.

The Church turned the corner. Didn’t notice, we weren’t matched up perfectly.

We had the Word, the promise, the hope of Salvation, of Healing of Love, Peace and Joy.

What’s missing? Power.

The Church, by not matching the plan of Jesus, has lost the Power of His Promise.

Where have we gone wrong?

Like the Jews, before Jesus. We took His Words and added to it.

We added Ceremonies, Rituals, Readings, Order…. theses are all man’s inventions.

Jesus taught, touched, ate and met needs.

The Apostles sang, shared, prayed,taught, touched, ate and met needs.

In one accord…. believing His PROMISES.

We have an order of service, the music minister leads us to the announcements and offering.

Then the Pastor leads us in prayer and readings. If he is any good he teaches and touches the needs of the flock.

The problem is, the Pastor, loves the Lord, but has no inspired word from God.

It is easy to teach and preach. We can do that in our natural man.

To work in the Power of God, takes the Spiritual Man.

A man who doesn’t just read and study the Word, but believes and acts on it also.

We must lay hands on the sick, if we expect the Lord to work through us.

We must not give excuses, if we do not see results. According to our Faith and the Faith of the one in need…. so be it.

SAINTS, EXPECT THE WORD TO BE TRUE.

IT IS TRUE. THAT WE DO NOT SEE IT WORKING, IS OUR PROBLEM NOT HIS.

BELIEVE AND RECEIVE.

Build yourself by the renewing of your mind, studying to show yourself approved, recognizing and acting on the Revelation you will receive as you determine to draw closer to God.

Know the power of His Resurrection, the fellowship of His Sufferings, be Conformed to His Image.

Take up His Yoke. Walk with Him.

Build His Church.

Bette’s eclipse

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living, Walking with God , , , ,

Bette’s FB Post of eclipse trip.

In our area of eastern NC the coverage of the sun was 93%, and I thought it might be an interesting experience. My husband and I, though – flying by the seats of our pants – decided quickly Monday morning and were in the car headed towards totality within one hour. The eclipse had started by the time we pulled off I 95 and into an impromptu spot and watched with the people gathered there. And it was interesting…until it became AWESOME. Seeing the changes above and feeling the effects of darkness falling suddenly was great, but to see the magnificence of the totally eclipsed sun…the corona…the diamond ring…nothing compares. It still takes my breath away. Solar eclipse chasers – you made me want to do this! Thank you ever so much!

She is quite impressed, so am I.

God is Great.

To the moon,…Bette – theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual life, Walking with God , , , ,

This story starts with a phone call, several months ago.

Bette’s sister Eunice’s, two adult sons, (Carl and Andrew), wanted to know if we could stand some company this summer.

We in NC, were closer to the path of totality, then they were in Minnesota.

They thought they could kill two birds, with one stone. (A visit and the once in a lifetime experience).

Wonderful, come on down. Then their parents, Eunice and Roger would come with them. Now you’re talking…. We could not wait to see them

Two weeks ago, we heard they were going to watch the Eclipse in Nebraska, then come to NC. Still wonderful, can not wait.

Then I found out my sweet wife Bette, bought 8 pair solar glasses. She told me, the path of totality was only 150 miles south of us.

She wanted to see it.

We talked it over, I convinced her that a 6 to 12 hour drive in the car, (we would have to leave home at six am), for two minutes of viewing, was just silly.

I was sure she saw and agreed with me. Case settled.

8/21/17, woke at 7:30, saw my wifes face.

“Would you like to try to catch it?”

The sun shown, from her eyes. We left at 8:30, sure we were going to miss it.

We saw it, the diamond burst was at 2 o’clock though.

We didn’t get any pictures except this selfie as light was coming back.

The joy in her face was worth the twelve plus hours in the car, for two minutes of darkness.

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living, Walking with God , , , , ,

The final reported Miracles of the Risen Savior.

We should keeps our eyes, ears, hearts and minds open to the possibility of seeing Him ourselves.

Luke 24

two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,

Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

the eleven gathered together,

as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations

it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Matthew 28

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

John 20,21

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias;

many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Mark 16

After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

“they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.“

The Word confirmed, with signs and wonders following.

Lord, please confirm Your Word. Amen

The Ministry Years: -41st Miracle – The Resurrected Christ – theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian living, serving God, Walking with God , , , , , ,

The women who had “departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.”

Had left Mary Magdalene behind weeping.

She was rewarded by seeing the Risen, not yet Resurrected Jesus. She could not touch Him, yet before the others could get to town.

He had traveled to heaven:

Psalm 2:7 (KJV)

“I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.”

Acts 13:33
“God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

Hebrews 1:5
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”

Hebrews 4:7-11 (KJV)

“Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”

Hebrews 5:5
“So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.”

1 John 4:9
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.”

When Christ completed His mission, to die for our sins. When He returned to the Father, He received His Resurrected Body and became, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.

It was after this, He met the women fleeing to town, to announce His Resurrection.

They were able to touch Him. “As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.”

The only begotten Son, had completed His task, the world through Him could be Saved.

As you read on, we find the lies begin.

Matthew 28:1-15 (KJV)
“In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail.
And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.”

The Risen Christ, not yet Resurrected, not yet in His Glorified Body, appeared first to Mary Magdalene.

A women, that He had cast out seven devils.

How is it possible that she was the one and only who saw Jesus, alive, yet before ascending to the Father and being Glorified?

“saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.”

“Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

We have seen her many times (12), in the Gospels.

She was special, the others with her, had left, she stayed in tears.

Like John, the Disciple that rested on Jesus’s breast, and was the only Disciple to die a natural death.

Mary Magdalene, was Special for her love.

Please do not misunderstand, all the Disciples loved the Lord, and the Lord loved them all.

Somehow, both John and Mary, had found the Holy of Holies, the special place, the secret place, under the shadow of His wings.

They found the place of rest, that remains for all who love Him.

Oh Lord, help me to find and enter into the Secret Place, the place where I will see, (Psalms 91), “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”

The Secret Place, Lord, I long to live there. Amen

Mark 16:9-11 (KJV)

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

John 20:11-18 (KJV)

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?

She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?

She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

The Media is consumed with our President aligning the KKK to Antifa and BLM’s.

The implication is Antifa, and BLM, are Righteous, their cause Just, that the Lawbreaking, Police Killing, Confederate History Erasing , is all normal behavior.

IT IS NOT.

The KKK is despicable, as are Antifa and BLM’s.

They are all terrorists. They should be prosecuted and jailed. If caught in the act, SHOT….

We need to adhere to the law. Respect the law. Support the law abiding, and prosecute the lawless.

The President is right. The left… KKK, ANTIFA AND BLM’s, are ALL EQUALLY AT FAULT.

Quit pretending, the lefts, law breakers, are great people, and the Conservatives, (not the KKK), but Conservatives, Patriots, people who just want to Make America Great Again, are the ones to hate.

No muss, no fuss, He reached out and touched. Why do we have such a hard time, accepting the promise of our doing the same?

We no longer  believe like a little child, knowing our needs and desires are met.

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.

All groups full of hate.

What to do? Have we strayed so far from God, we are doomed?

Has the Godless left won?

Is our youth, so intellectually challenged, that they do not recognize how foolish it is to try to erase history?

Our esteemed Governor, Roy Cooper has jumped on the band wagon, he would remove all the Confederate Statues to museums….

STOP THIS MADNESS…. STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT….

You cannot change history. If you forget it, you are bound to repeat it.

There is much in my life, I am ashamed of.   There is much, I wish,  that I never had thought of doing, never mind having done.

But, it is done.  I was a fool, who did foolish things that hurt others and myself.  I am sorry for my failures, my mistakes, my SINS.

They happened.  I cannot deny them.  They are part of my History.  A History that cannot be changed.

It can only be regretted, repented of, and denied the opportunity to occur again.

A changed heart and mind are required.

Why are we so offended by inanimate objects?

While we are not offended, by the  disregard of our laws?  Public property, destroyed,  of thinking, if we do not see it, it never happened.

Pulling down statutes,  does not erase the truth they represent.

Quit acting like ignorant 14th century people.

We must learn from our past.  Make a better future.

Quit repeating the horrors we are trying to erase.

Lord, come soon.   Amen

Matthew 21:12-16. (KJV)

The cleansing of the Temple,  my house is a house of prayer, not a den of thieves.

In the midst, of throwing out the thieves, He found those needing a touch from Him.

“The blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.”

The scribes and priests,  saw this… and were displeased.    Why?

They were not the center of attention.   Jesus, went about doing good, free, for real.  The religious were not happy.

Those He touched, lifted praise to the King.  We need to lift praise, accept His touch, share His love.

Perfect Praise, is  realizing, His Power and Love.

 

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

The Song: theunfetteredpreacher

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living, Walking with God , , , ,

No this is not about the Song of Solomon.

It’s not really even a song. It is a lament, a cry, a stirring of the soul.

A dirge.

Sorrowful, yet empty,

painful, yet pure.

A groaning, that cannot be uttered.

A desire that cannot be fulfilled.

A wound, that will not heal.

Dissatisfied, disappointed, disturbed, destroyed…. decimated.

Hope Lost, and Hopeless.

Yet; Understanding that, in Truth, I am:

FORGIVEN, I AM, BLAMELESS, MY SIN AND SHAME, IS AS FAR AWAY, AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST.

I AM COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, I AM SAVED BY THE GREAT I AM.

The word of God, brings hope, that isn’t seen, causes faith to grow, opens the eyes of our understanding.

If Abram, at 75, began, his walk before the Lord, and became a friend of God.

If Moses, at 80, met the Trinity, walked in the ways of the Lord, and talked to the Lord, face to face like a man to a friend.

If Enoch, at 65, walked with God for 300 years, and was not, because God took him.

It is possible that Bill, at 64, in time, may be noticed and useful to God.

It is possible, a life has not been wasted.

The last, will be better then the first.

The future much brighter, than the past.

The Mountain, removed and the path made straight.

The Gospel of the Lord proclaimed, the lost, saved, the sick healed, the brokenhearted, comforted.

The Glory of our King Revealed.

My cry?

Come, Lord Jesus, Come.

“we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him;

there is no beauty that we should desire him.

“For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.”
