CONTROL
I need you to know that God created you to be whatever you want to be in this world. But Satan the enemy is coming in your mind to deceive you by telling you that you are nothing and you are not going to make it. Today i am here to tell you that you are going to make it with power of God in you. Apostle John says,
SPIRIT
I am giving you these bible verses to feed your soul with love and grace, and spiritual understanding. My friends, nothing more sweeter that fearing and loving our Lord Jesus Christ who died for the entire world. If you do not believe now, you will believe it when he returns to this sinful world to judge among the sinners and the righteous men and women. You know, the fear of the lord is love and peace and joy in the holy spirit.

YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD
Question: "What does it mean that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)?"
Answer: Psalm 139:14 declares, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” The context of this verse is the incredible nature of our physical bodies. The human body is the most complex and unique organism in the world, and that complexity and uniqueness speaks volumes about the mind of its Creator. Every aspect of the body, down to the tiniest microscopic cell, reveals that it is fearfully and wonderfully made.
Engineers understand how to design strong yet light beams by putting the strong material toward the outside edges of a cross-section and filling the inside with lighter, weaker material. This is done because the greatest amounts of stress occur on the surfaces of a structure when handling common bending or stresses. A cross section of a human bone reveals that the strong material is on the outside and the inside is used as a factory for blood cells of various kinds. When you examine a sophisticated camera with its ability to let in more or less light as needed and its ability to focus automatically over a vast range of field, you find repeated imitations of the operation of the human eye. And yet, having two eyeballs, we also have depth perception which gives us the ability to judge how far away an object is.
The human brain is also an amazing organ, fearfully and wonderfully made. It has the ability to learn, reason, and control so many automatic functions of the body such as heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing, and to maintain balance to walk, run, stand, and sit, all while concentrating on something else. Computers can outdo the human brain in raw calculating power but are primitive when it comes to performing most reasoning tasks. The brain also has an amazing ability to adapt. In an experiment, when people put on glasses that made the world seem upside down, their brains quickly reinterpreted the information they were being given to perceive the world as “right-side-up.” When others were blindfolded for long periods of time, the “vision center” of the brain soon began to be used for other functions. When people move to a house near a railroad, soon the sound of the trains is filtered out by their brains, and they lose conscious thought of the noise.
When it comes to miniaturization, the human body is also a marvel fearfully and wonderfully made. For instance, information needed for the replication of an entire human body, with every detail covered, is stored in the double-helix DNA strand found in the nucleus of each of the billions of cells in the human body. And the system of information and control represented by our nervous system is amazingly compact in comparison to man’s clumsy inventions of wires and optical cables. Each cell, once called a “simple” cell, is a tiny factory not yet fully understood by man. As microscopes become more and more powerful, the incredible vistas of the human cell begin to come into focus.
Consider the single fertilized cell of a newly conceived human life. From that one cell within the womb develop all the different kinds of tissues, organs, and systems, all working together at just the right time in an amazingly coordinated process. An example is the hole in the septum between the two ventricles in the heart of the newborn infant. This hole closes up at exactly the right time during the birth process to allow for the oxygenation of the blood from the lungs, which does not occur while the baby is in the womb and is receiving oxygen through the umbilical cord.
Further, the body’s immune system is able to fight off so many enemies and restore itself from the smallest repair (even repairing bad portions of DNA) to the largest (mending bones and recovering from major accidents). Yes, there are diseases that will eventually overcome the body as we age, but we have no idea how many times through a lifetime that our immune systems have saved us from certain death.
The functions of the human body are also incredible. The ability to handle large, heavy objects and to also carefully manipulate a delicate object without breaking it is also amazing. We can shoot a bow with the arrow repeatedly hitting a distant target, peck away quickly at a computer keyboard without thinking about the keys, crawl, walk, run, twirl around, climb, swim, do somersaults and flips, and perform “simple” tasks such as unscrewing a light bulb, brushing our teeth, and lacing up our shoes—again without thinking. Indeed, these are “simple” things, but man has yet to design and program a robot that is able to perform such a vast range of tasks and motions.
The function of the digestive tract and the related organs, the longevity of the heart, the formation and function of nerves and of blood vessels, the cleansing of the blood through the kidneys, the complexity of the inner and middle ear, the sense of taste and smell, and so many other things we barely understand—each one is a marvel and beyond man’s ability to duplicate. Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. How grateful we are to know the Creator—through His Son, Jesus Christ—and to marvel not only at His knowledge but also at His love (Psalm 139:17-24).

HOPE
God in the moment of fear and tears, bring joy and happiness to a broken-heart. You are a comforter and helper, provider, and sincere hope in time of trouble. We give you praise.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER:
Prayer. As our relationship with God is renewed, the Holy Spirit empowers us to minister to one another. Sharing prayer requests and praise reports opens the door for body ministry. This is a great opportunity to encourage choir members to minister to one another rather than expecting the ministerial staff to be the only source of spiritual care. Warriors and worshiper. Our connection to God comes through prayer and worship.

PASTOR'S WIFE
If you are a female member in a church and having a relationship with
your pastor, stop it now. Do not be a female slave to anyone who wants
to make one out of you. Do not be afraid to expose that pastor to his
wife and the congregation, because the scripture said a Bishop, Deacon,
Pastors must always be blameless in everything christian walk with God.
Read,
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:2
What is very hard for me to understand, how does a preacher stand behind the pulpit and preach the word of the Holy God of Israel and committing adultery? I cannot comprehend...
One day God will expose him. Do not bring yourself to the level of being a pastor concubine.

BLESSINGS
you are not a failure, you are a soul that wonderfully made by God. You
will always be the head and not the tail if you live right. I curse
every envy eyes, tongues, jealously, darkness, and plot that Satan have
in store to use against any of you in the name of our Lord Jesus. Rise
and shine and worship the Lord, this is your purpose on earth. You are a
blessing and not a curse.
God bless you, live bless.
God bless you, live bless.
ADMIT YOUR GUILT
Read this to get your own understanding of Jesus and the kingdom of heaven and the thief.
Reading this outline about the kingdom of God, allowing me to understand how sweet the love of Jesus is toward us.
Jesus, paradise, and the thief
When Jesus was crucified two malefactors, apparently
thieves, were crucified with Him. In Luke's account one of the two admitted
his guilt and asked Jesus to remember him. The account of the thieves and
Jesus' promise of paradise is found in Luke 23:39-43:
And one of the malefactors which
were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the
due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said
unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus
said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in
paradise.
Given Jesus' statement "To day
shalt thou be with me in paradise" it is easy to conclude that later
that day - after their death - both Jesus and the thief would be together in
paradise, apparently heaven. Many cite these verses as proof that the good
go to heaven when they die.
But wait... does it make sense to conclude they'd be in
paradise that day? Could they have been in heaven that day? Here are several
reasons why that conclusion makes no sense:
1. Jesus clearly stated He would be "in
the heart of the earth" - in the grave - for three days and three
nights:
But he answered and said unto
them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there
shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as
Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son
of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
(Matthew 12:39-40)
Jesus' prophecy was fulfilled exactly: He was
in the tomb for three full days and nights, then He was resurrected back to
life as explained in the Three days and three nights? page in this website.
(If you've ever wondered how there were three days and three nights between
Good Friday and Sunday morning, you'll find that page interesting.) So, if
Jesus were in the tomb could He have somehow gone to heaven or paradise the
same day He died? Was Jesus in heaven while He was in the tomb? No: here's
why:
2. Jesus clearly stated, after His
resurrection, that He had not yet ascended to His Father. The account below
begins with Mary looking into Jesus' tomb:
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.
(John 20:11-17)
By Jesus' own account - more than three days
and three nights after His death - He had not yet ascended to the Father.
3. Jesus taught that both the good and the bad
would wait for a resurrection from the grave before receiving their
reward. For the thief to have received any sort of reward the same day he
died - without waiting for his resurrection - would have been inconsistent
with Jesus' plain teaching. Here are some scriptures about being rewarded at
your resurrection:
Marvel not at this: for the
hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his
voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection
of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
(John 5:28,29)
Then said he also to him that
bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor
thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also
bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed;
for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the
resurrection of the just. (Luke 14:12-14)
It is plain to see, from the above verses, that
we are rewarded at our resurrection. It would have been a violation of the
verses above for the thief to have been rewarded the same day he died...
unless he was also resurrected the same day he died. There is certainly no
record that he - or Jesus, for that matter - was resurrected the same day he
died.
So, did the thief somehow go to heaven the day he died,
and get his reward there in heaven? After all, we have Jesus statement about
a reward in heaven:
Blessed are ye, when [men]
shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great
[is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were
before you. (Matthew 5:11,12)
Reading the verse above, it is easy to conclude
that we get our reward in heaven. But wait... we have just seen other verses
saying we get our reward when we are resurrected from the grave. How could
both be true?
What Jesus said is true: our reward is in heaven... but
when we jumped to the conclusion that we go to heaven to get the reward we
made a mistake. The reward is stored in heaven for us, but we do not go to
heaven to get it. Jesus plainly promised to bring the reward to us when He
returns to earth from heaven:
And, behold, I come quickly;
and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be. (Jesus, speaking of His return, Revelation 22:12)
So we've seen that we get rewarded at our
resurrection, and that Jesus brings the reward to us when He returns to
earth from heaven.
Are there any verses that tie the time of our
resurrection and reward to the time of Jesus' return? Yes, there are: the
apostle Paul plainly taught that the righteous who had died are to "rise"
- be resurrected - from their "sleep" in the grave when Jesus returns:
But I would not have you to
be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
[and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede
or take the place of] them which are asleep. For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)
It is clear we are to remain in the grave until our
resurrection at Jesus' return. Note that Paul said nothing about souls, and
nothing about going to heaven or being in heaven; he said we'd be in the
grave, "asleep," unaware of time and
events. This is completely consistent with what the Bible says about the
dead:
For the living know that they
shall die: but the dead know not any thing... for [there is] no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5 and 9:10)
There is greater detail about the resurrection in the
What does God Promise Us page of this website. So far, we have gathered the followings
points from various sources in the Bible:
1. The dead remain in the grave, unconscious, until
their resurrection, and
2. The righteous are to be rewarded at their
resurrection, and
3. The resurrection of the righteous occurs when Jesus
returns, and
4. Jesus will be bringing their reward from heaven when
He returns.
So how could it be that the thief got to paradise the
same day he died? Such a conclusion obviously conflicts with what we've read
about being rewarded upon our resurrection at Jesus' return. And we've
plainly seen that Jesus was in the tomb - not in paradise - for three days
and nights after his death. And we've seen that Jesus did not ascend to His
Father until after His resurrection, precluding any possibility that He -
and maybe the thief with Him - had somehow gone to heaven when He died.
A look at early manuscripts offers an explanation. The
original written accounts of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)
and the other books of the New Testament are gone. There is debate even
about what language the originals were written in: Koiné Greek, Aramaic or
Hebrew. There is debate even about what language Jesus spoke. The earliest
texts we have are believed to date from after 100 AD, most written in Koiné
Greek, Syriac and Latin. These, of course, were all hand-written: copies,
translations, copies of copies, copies of translations, translations of
translations etc. Mistakes were made in copying and translation. You can
research the details; the more you look, the more evidence - and opinions -
you'll find.
My research yielded two findings: Koiné Greek was unlike
English in some important ways, and, an early Syriac text presents a
different rendering of the verse in question, Luke 23:43. Here is what I
found online about Koiné Greek:
1. The Koiné Greek of the early New Testament texts
seldom, if ever, used punctuation of any sort, and did not have commas as we
know them
2. Koiné Greek early New Testament texts usually had no
spaces between the words
3. Koiné Greek early New Testament texts had all
upper-case letters
4. Punctuation and word separation were added by
scribes - and translators - at their discretion, beginning centuries later
The English translation (King James Version) of
Luke 23:43 - from the Greek - adds punctuation, and in doing so associates "today"
with "shalt be":
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I
say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
An English translation of the Curetonian Syriac
text is punctuated differently, and associates "today"
with "say" rather than with "shalt
be"... revealing a difference of opinion about the how to associate "today":
Amen, I say to thee to-day
that with me thou shalt be in the Garden of Eden. (F. C. Burkitt,
"The Curetonian Version of the Four Gospels," Vol. I, Cambridge, 1904)
As you can see, the meaning of the alternate version is
very different from the King James version. The implications are huge: there
is no longer any suggestion that Jesus and the thief would be in paradise
that same day. The confusion and conflicts raised with the rest of the Bible
are gone: Jesus is in the tomb for the next three days and nights just as He
said, not in paradise. Jesus does not somehow go to His Father before He is
resurrected. The thief will wait in the grave for his resurrection and
reward. When properly understood, the Bible presents and maintains a
consistent, non-conflicting set of doctrines!
Fortunately some modern translations agree with the
alternate given above:
And he said to him: “Truly I
tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” (NWT)
And Jesus said to him,
"Truly, I tell you today, you shall be with Me in paradise."
(Faithful Version)
Perhaps you noticed that none of the verses said the
thief and Jesus would be in heaven: the verses say they'll be together in "paradise"
or "in the Garden of Eden." Again, when
properly understood, the Bible presents and maintains a consistent,
non-conflicting set of doctrines. The "paradise"
Jesus spoke of is not in heaven, where people often like to think God lives.
Rather, it will be as described in the final chapters of the last book in
the Bible, in a new universe - "a new heaven and a
new earth" and a "new Jerusalem" -
where God Himself will come and dwell with us. The apostle John gives this
description in the last book of the Bible:
And I saw a new heaven and a
new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:1-4)
In paradise, the new creation, we will have
access to the tree of life that was in the original paradise, the Garden of
Eden:
Blessed [are] they that do
his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may
enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14)
We've seen that what the Bible teaches is consistent -
but very different from mainstream Christian doctrine. We don't go to heaven
when we die: we wait for a resurrection. We don't go to heaven even after
we're resurrected: search your Bible from beginning to end and you will not
find eternal life in heaven promised anywhere. Likewise, the
doctrine of eternal torment of the wicked in some kind of fiery hell is a
complete misrepresentation of the Bible. You can read more about this in the
God Has a Plan page of this website.
So where did belief in going to heaven and hell come
from? From Greek and other pagan doctrines about the afterlife, gradually
adopted into mainstream Christian thought over the centuries. The same
applies to belief in an immortal soul. Hundreds of years before the time of
Christ the Greek philosopher Plato, in Phaedo, wrote about the immortal
soul. See if this sounds like mainstream Christian doctrine:
Do we believe that there is such a thing as death?...
is this anything but the separation of soul and body? And being dead is the
attainment of this separation; when the soul exists in herself, and is
parted from the body and the body is parted from the soul... the soul is in
the very likeness of the divine, and immortal, and intelligible, and
uniform, and indissoluble, and unchangeable; and the body is in the very
likeness of the human, and mortal, and unintelligible, and and multiform, and
dissoluble, and changeable.Reading this outline about the kingdom of God, allowing me to understand how sweet the love of Jesus is toward us.
GOD IS ABLE
REPENTANCE IS CONFESSION. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HAD DONE IN THIS SINFUL WORLD, GOD IS WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU AND MAKE A BETTER PERSON OUT OF YOU. JUST TRUST HIM.

MATERIAL THINGS.
Sitting at home, on the job or in your car or comfort zone worrying about this cruel world and material things, will make you sick. live one day at a time and move on. Leave your worry-ration in the hands of God. He knows your needs and your every day plans. Remember that God has a plan for your life before you were conceived in your mother's womb. My few words of encouragements to you, stop worrying about the things that you cannot change and move on as the day continues.

MULTITUDE
Be not afraid, God is God-mighty and merciful.
Your evening Bible verse:
ing James Bible
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.(2 Chronicle 20:15)
When the enemy comes to fight, don't be afraid, God is with you to fight your battle. Hold on do not give up, what the enemy means for evil, God has the power to make it good.

REMEMBERANCE
Rejoice with me for the Lord is good and he has done great
things for me and I’m so happy, so very happy, it makes me cry because I do not
deserve his goodness, but because of his unconditional love, he makes me happy
by showing me his grace and mercy. This is why I ask him not to be anger with
me without a cause. Out on me, but show his mercy. Please read the following
scripture for your nighttime comfort. As follows:
Psalm 6 King James Version
6 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord;
for I am weak: O Lord, heal me;
for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord,
deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave
who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath
heard my supplication; the Lord
will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed suddenly.
God will put your enemy to a open
shame if they continue to provoke you where it reach to a point where you have
to cut off from he or she.

RECON
Out of love, I am reaching out to you. Make this day be the
day of “RECON” between you and Jesus before it is too late. Read the following:
Hebrews 3:12-15
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one
another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through
the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of
Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while
it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Life is like a vapor my friends, the only security you have
right now is knowing Jesus as your personal Savior. Time is running out and the
kingdom of God is at hand. Examine yourself and if you are not living right,
make a change in your life from evil to good.
GOD BLESS YOU, TAKE HEED.

YOUR STRENGTH IS IN GOD
no one can do anything except the Lord allows it. God is the creator of the universe,regardless of how others think. Everything is made by his breath. He speaks things into existence. He understands our faults before we do. He loves us even though we are rebellious children against his commandments. In addition, keep the faith and challenge the world with love and give everyone the peace that passeth human's understanding.
Live bless! Jesus is with you.
Live bless! Jesus is with you.
