They all fall down: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, Spiritual living , , , , , , , , , ,

Several months ago, a Baptist friend asked me, why do all these people fall down on TV, when the “Faith Healers” pray for them? 

He insisted that it didn’t happen in the Bible.

Matthew 2:11
fell down, and worshipped him:
Mark 5:33
fell down before him,
Mark 3:11
fell down before him,
Luke 5:8
he fell down at Jesus’ knees,
Luke 8:28
fell down before him,
Luke 8:41
fell down at Jesus’ feet,
John 11:32
she fell down at his feet,
Luke 17:16
fell down on his face at his feet,
Revelation 5:14
the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped
Revelation 22:8
I fell down to worship

Now, if I had given my friend these scripure verses, he would reply:

“Yes, but they were all in the presence of Jesus.”

I would say:  “My point exactly.”

  (“Faith Healers” are Holy Spirit Dispensers).

These “Faith Healers” have paid the price to work in His Power and Presence.  We need to long to be in the presence of Jesus.  We need to learn to Worship, Work and Walk in His Power.

If you look up the word “worship”, in the Strongs Concordance, you might be surprised, to find, it means, to fall down, or bow down in reverence.

Are our Sunday Services really Worship Services?

We hear the Word, sing a few Hymns, but very rarely experience the full blown presence of Jesus.  (Multitudes found Him, can we?)

I know, in your church there is always a noticeable presence of God. 

(Good, you need read no more).

I wonder, seriously, have the rest of us, really experienced the presence of the Great “I AM“, since our salvation experience?

He is the Great “I AM.”  From the first mention of His Name, people fell down to Worship.

Genesis 17:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,”

He fell on his face, his name was changed, he was circumcised.  He had met Jesus.

We recieved a new name, in heaven, a circumcision of our hearts, and most probably fell down and worshiped at meeting “The Great I AM, JESUS.”

Moses, had to take off his shoes, as he was on Holy Ground:  (Exodus 3)
“And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.” 

Jesus, when arrested, answered “I AM” and they fell down before Him.

In the time of the dedication of Solomons Temple, God made His presence known.

1 Kings: 8. 10,11
“And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,  So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.”

To me this is what we should be aiming for, to experience the presence, power and the glory of the Lord.

How do we coax Gods Power, His healing, His miraculous signs and wonders, His Glory into our midst?

It isn’t easy.

We look at the Giants of the Faith as being above us in a place and time, impossible for us to attain.

In reality, they are a road map, written so that whosoever will, can find that place of Faith.

In that one verse from 1 Kings we see a

key.  Can we learn to use it?  Do you see what it is?

Lord, help us to seek and find Your face.  That we might truly know You and the Power of Your Resurrection. 

That we be made into Your image.  Worthy to be trusted and used by Your Spirit.  That signs and wonders will follow.   Amen

NC’s HB2 or The Bathroom Bill: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , ,

I had posted on FB, a post supporting protecting our children in public bathrooms from sexual predators.

A cousin responded with this:
~”This is horrible propaganda”
me:
~“really? ? ?”
A Christian friend replied:
“I completely agree with this photo!!”

An other relative responded:
~”Can understand why some feel this way, but a man who dresses as a woman is not automatically a danger to children.  In fact, many are fathers themselves. What a lot of people don’t know is many cross dressers are heterosexual. But even if they are not, chances are they are not a danger. (Most pedophiles seem to be hetero anyways. But being a cross dresser doesn’t make them one.)”

My cousin sent a post with a video from this Gov. and asked me to watch it.

~”In response to a wave of anti-transgender legislation in several states around the country, Delaware Gov. Jack Markell stands up for transgender equality and combats the misinformation and scare tactics being utilized by proponents of these discriminatory bills. Gov. Markell is the only sitting governor to have signed both sexual orientation and gender identity protections in employment, housing, and public accommodations.

Thanks to the office of Gov. Markell, Equality Delaware, and the Center for American Progress.”

I could not include video, I am sure you could find it on a FB.  I replied to my cousin:

~”Cousin,
I love you, but boy parts belong in the boys room.  Bruce Jenner is not brave, a hero, or a women, he is just a confused man, hiding from reality.

Elizabeth Warren is not an indian, the  white girl who claimed to be black was not and never will be black.  These people have rejected who they are  and we do them no favors by allowing their delusions.

What you think of as progress, will lead to no good. 

Again, I love you.

What is happening to our country, will destroy us if it continues.”

This brought on these replies:  My replies will be in bold.  Others are different people.

~”Shame Bill, I see you are unfettered by education or wisdom. Hope you get that sorted.”

~”The LGBT unnecessary hostility about my desire to avoid having a man in my daughters shower room is what scares me.”

~”It’s not LGBT hostility. People of all sexuality, races, religion, and gender disagree with this bathroom issue.

People are tired of hate and being put down for differences. Throughout history decency always wins eventually. This will be resolved one day. No soul should have to deal with that.

Have you had to deal with hate in your life Bill? I have to question if you truly have. If you did I like to think you’d understand how it feels. You’d be more sympathetic to those that endure it on a daily basis.

I’m a  cis woman (Born female). I am a woman. I cannot imagine being born into the wrong body. That’s hard enough of a thought without adding hateful and close minded attitudes into the mix. Fearing for ones life due to being different.

What is happening to the country will eventually unite it. When people start looking through other eyes and not only through their reality and limited knowledge.”

~”Thank you for the reasoned reply.  “I cannot imagine being born into the wrong body.”   Is where we part ways. 

As a Christian, I believe we all are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Before we were formed in the womb He knew us.

We were made as He planned,  man and woman. 

Am I closed minded, probably, do I care whether you are LGBTG, or any other initial, color or creed?  Nope.  Do I hate any of the above?  No I do not.

I wish all would know the peace and joy of salvation.  I know most will not, this is a  sad reality.

So, do what you like, just don’t scare the horses. 

In other words, do not force others to accept and rejoice your beliefs anymore then you want to accept mine.

Thanks.”

~”Your unnecessary concern over other people’s genitals, and insistence on pushing your bigotry and religious delusion on the rest of us is what is destroying our country.”

~”Bill, what a beautiful responce! As a Delaware resident, and an Agnostic, I am always gladdened to hear reasonable discussion about religious beliefs. It fills me with joy when my religious friends wish me a blessed day, because the very best in them, is wishing the very best in me, joy.
You should never be forced to be apart of another’s belief system, but neither should you force your own beliefs tenets on another. 
We the people are all so very different. I would not want it any other way. Can’t we just all treat each other as equals, and let life sort itself ot from there? Equality sometimes means standing next to someone from another culture at the lunch counter who is very different from you.
I don’t believe that we should afford that person any less of an opportunity because they are different. We all just need to be better neighbors, and look out for one another. Worry less about a person’s personal life choices or expressions of self, and focus more on building relationships with those in your community, whether you approve of them or not.”

~”Bill Theunfetteredpreacher Cote what about all those lesbians in your girls bathroom? Why can’t men just keep their paws to themselves?...”

~”lesbians are often angry, but no threat to young women… now women school teachers and young men… trouble…  lol”

So you see, lots of opinions.  Tell me your thoughts.

Confused(?): The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

I am just a simple guy, I don’t know nothin- bout-nothin… but it apears to me, that some kind of evergreen tree is growing inside this hardwood tree.

Interesting.  How could this be?

Using my usual hunt and peck system in my search engines, I found nothing. 

My dear wife suggested, the insides of the hardwood, might be rotting, thus giving fertile ground for the evergreen.

I do not know, how or why but,  something foreign is springing forth from a willing host.

image

            (Maybe inside, it looks like this?)

Whatever the cause, it is unnatual, unusual and unhealthy.

I look at it and cannot help thinking of the foolishness that is going on in my country.

People are confussed, men think they are women and long to use the womans restrooms and showers. 

Our government has legalized and legitimized sin. 

Now people who object to this sin, are being fined for not accepting and celebrating this new world view.

It isn’t infectious, but it is insidious, It is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. 

It is not from God.

It is the absence of God in our homes, our entertainment and education.  We are reaping what we have sown.

Lord, please lead us to Repentance.  Forgive us our sin.  Cleanse our unrighteousness.
Lord, Save us Please.   Amen

This one thing:… (Really?) The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

You would think that one thing, would be one thing.  Not so, there are several, one things, that the Lord desires we understand, know, and need to do and even some we lack.

~  “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,”  (2 Peter 3:8)
Here Peter is giving us a Spiritual Truth:  “Gods ways are not our ways”, His Timeline, Mercy and Grace, His Love is beyond our understanding. 
Deuteronomy 29:29a
“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God:”
We need to concern ourselves with the truths the Lord has revealed to us and do His will.

For I had not known lust: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

“For I had not known lust:”

This portion of Romans 7, has caused me concern and confusion for 35 years.  I have always thought of “lust”, as a sexual problem and not much else.

In my studies lately I’ve discovered “lust” is an “I” problem.  In my post:  MY LUST SHALL BE SATISFIED:  I tried to explain.

Exodus 15:9
“The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.”

All these “I’s”, spell nothing, but “selfishness”.

image

(We build large monuments in hopes to be remembered).

I realized we  are born this way.  Try taking a toy from a child:  Mine, mine, mine… Is the familiar refrain.

It is the way of Natural Man.  It was the beginning of original sin.  The lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.

We again find “selfishness”, “lust” and “envy”, raising it’s ugly head in the desert, God had  given them Manna.  They didn’t need to prepare the soil, weed, water or plant. 

Just harvest.   Yet they wanted more.  (We always want more).   Flesh.

“He heareth your murmurings”

“This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him:”

God answered their request.

Psalm 106:14-16
King James Version (KJV)
“But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.  And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.  They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.”

They “lusted exceedingly”, “envied Moses and Aaron”.  He sent leanness into their soul.

Romans 7:7
King James Version (KJV)
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”

We must learn not to “covet”, to “lust” after or to “envy” others.  Be content with our lot in life, with our mate, our ministry, our calling, our gifts.

Be faithful in all things, honest, upright, just.  Trusting as we walk in the Spirit, that the Lord will deliver us from our “lust”.

If ye continue in the faith: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

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

“If ye continue in the faith”

Why do you think he put an “if” at the beginning of this thought? 

image

Colossians 1:23
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;”

If we continue, means we might not continue.  If we aren’t continuing, it means we once were.

So once saved “Is Not,” always saved. 

It is by far more fearful, (for me), to think I might not be truly saved, then knowing I have the free will to turn my back and leave God.

If the prodigal son had stayed away, he would have been a son who was lost.  Not because God rejected him, but that he had rejected the rights and privileges of His rank.  (A son, of the King).

We must become:  “grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,”

To become grounded and settled, is to dig down to the solid rock and building a firm foundation, (read, memorize, meditate, understand, believe and act on the Word), then we can withstand, the storms and trials of life.

We will: “not moved away from the hope of the gospel,”

Saints please:
•   Do not practice sin, believing you are ok, because you are saved. 

•  Do not believe you cannot sin, because you are saved.

•  Do not think you need not repent, to return to God.

Satan hath desired to have you: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

It was time for the Passover meal.  Jesus had this Word of Knowledge for Peter.

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:”

We need to consider it as a word of warning for us today.  Satan has a desire, to make us doubt, question, wonder, and walk away from the love of God.   Satan sifts us, and the Lord allows it.

Why?

So we consider, understand and know how strong our love is for the Lord and His for us.   He already knows the outcome.

He allows us to be tested so we understand the depth, width, length and breadth of  our love and trust for Him. 

He wants us to know and agree with the three Hebrew children, that the true God is able to deliver us from our fiery furnace.

“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” (Daniel 3)

God is able to deliver, God will deliver, If God doesn’t deliver, we will still serve Him.  What a testimony.

Jesus did not stop at the warning though, He also added:

“But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”

Know this; in the midst of the fire, Jesus never leaves us or forsakes us, He walks with us, even carries us in that furnace. 

As we look to Him, the Author an finisher of our faith we become stronger, able to strengthen others, in their times of need.

When tested, it seems there is no end, it is hopeless, we are lost, alone in a hell that is forever. 

Look to the hills from whence comes our help.  Lord, open our eyes to see Your mighty army that surrounds and fights for us.

There is light and life at the end of the tunnel. Keep your eyes on Jesus, trust in Him to see you through.  He is FAITHFUL.

MY LUST SHALL BE SATISFIED : The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , ,

MY LUST SHALL BE SATISFIED:

The problem, since Adam, of the whole earth, lies herein.  LUST.

This is the first mention of LUST in the Bible.

Exodus 15:9
“The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.”

(So said the Egyptians, as they followed the Hebrews, into the Red Sea).

Most of us think of LUST as being a  SEX only, problem.  It is not.  It  is an “I“ problem.

I will, I will, I will, MY, I will, MY.

“I”, has been the problem from the Garden on:

1 John 2:16
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

Such a simple thing:  Do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

“I think, it looks tasty, I think, it will make us wise, I think, it will make us like God.”

I MUST, SATISFY MY LUST FOR MORE:

For us to conquer the LUST problem,  we must  conquer the “I” problem.

WE MUST:
<  Realize, (know), our un-Godly desires.
<  Believe, the Lord will help us.
<  Understand, the victory over "I" is ours.

The Lord promises in Isaiah:

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

The Lords counters our “I” problem, with the Truth and Power, of the GREAT I AM,  not the LUST of man.

I am, I am, I will, I will,I will:

with you, thy God, stregthen you, help you, uphold you.

Lord, help me to Submit to You and flee the LUST OF MY EYES, LUST OF MY FLESH AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.

These are the temptations of the natural man, my desire is to be the Spiritual Man You have called me to be.

Lord, hear my plea!!!  LORD HELP!!!

choose you this day – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

“choose you this day whom ye will serve;”

The choice that affects our eternal residence.  The most important choice, we will ever make.  To serve God or self.  (Joshua 24:15)

It’s our other choices, the little things, that cause us daily grief or give us peace and joy.

I wonder how the choices we made today will affect our tomorrow. 

Choices I made just after finding Christ, (35+ years ago), are the root of my concerns today.

Pauls confession from Romans 9:1-2, could be my own today.

“I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,   That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.”

He was concerned over Isreal, who had not understood that Christ had redeemed them from the law of sin and death.

My concern is more personal.  “The sin that so easily besets me.”

A tiny thing, secretly holding on to something that displeaed my Lord and Savior. 

Such a small thing, who  thought it would be:  “a root of bitterness springing up to trouble, and thereby defile; – and it also laid upon me hard bondage:”
image

This little thing, all grown up, and choking the life, joy, peace and hope out of me.
image

Saints, don’t let the little foxes, “the little foxes, that spoil the vines:”  grow up to steal your victory. 

When the Lord delivers you, DO NOT HOLD ON TO ANYTHING…   Give it up to God, let Him have it.  You really do not need it, it will hurt you in the end.

“choose you this day”

Choose to give your all to the Lord, choose to follow Him.  Let Him have it all now, life will be better in the future.

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;”

He will continue to love and deliver us, as long as we are willing.  He can deliver us totally at the first, if we allow Him.  Over time, if He must.

He promises to keep us blameless.

1 Corinthians 1:8
“Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless

My Question is not Who, but When? The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

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.

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.

How to frustrate Gods purpose: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote Christian Walk, serving God , , , , , , , ,

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. 

image

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.
