#Unity,#One Church, #The Word

I love the Word of God.  I love to hear it preached, un-compromised.

It is a blessing to be reminded of the standards of the Lord. To be reminded of what He is going to accept and what He is going to reject.  To be reminded that a person only has the amount of time the Lord allows him or her to live to prepare to meet Him.  To be reminded that in that life time, one does not know when the death angel is going to be dispatched to take them out of this world.

It is for the reasons stated above that it is necessary that the Word of God be preached, taught and ministered to the hearts and soul of man kind.  The Bible teaches that the Word is truth.  And, it is that truth that makes one free.  Free from what?  Free from the nature of sin.  Man is born a sinner, prone to do anything.  It is for this reason that the Word of God must be preached and taught,

Day by day the standard of Holiness is being down played as "it doesn't take all that, that's old school, it's a new day, this is a different time, we have to reach the children, etc."  All these excuses will be the reason for the great fall away (which is going on right now) and for the unforeseen number of souls that will go to hell.  Hell.....another word that the Church shy's away from today,  because it is 'negative' and 'Jesus is love and He loves me, and 'He would not send a soul to hell'.

There are all kinds of ways to be led into sin in the world we live in today.  Some ways are so sneaky that it takes the Holy Ghost to discern what is and what is not of the Lord.  If I asked ten people what is sin or what is Holiness, I would get ten different answers.  Why would I get ten different answers?  Because, "There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness."  Proverbs 30:12  Then Isaiah 5:23  speaks of men "which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him."    Philippians 3:16 says, "Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing."

"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?  I Peter 4:17,18

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
