#Blessing,#Good God,

It is easy to speak about the goodness of the Lord.  To speak about how much He loves us.  How much and how often He makes ways for people.  How He opens doors that no man can shut.  How He heals the body.  How he regulates the mind.  The worst of persons can speak to these things concerning Jesus.

But what about loving Jesus back?  In the natural no one wants to do it all or give it all in a relationship and receive nothing back.  But when it comes to Jesus the masses are quick to speak to the Lord blessing, yet still in sin. Still living and doing things contrary to the word of God.

There is a scripture in the Bible that speaks to the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism being conducted by John to be baptized.  But John said unto them O generations of vipers who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance;"  Matthew 3:7b,8

You can not take on the blessings of the Lord and not be part of Him.  Sounds harsh?   But is it true.  How can one pray and reach Heaven yet living in sin?  Where is the separation from the world that is required by the Lord?  For He said to "come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: and I will receive you."  II Corinthians 6:17

Let every man be a liar and the Word of God be true.

#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 Jesus of Nazareth. .  He w

#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 the Lord gave them for you, you knew it and felt it

#Bible,#Word of God,#Leave It Alone

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."   Revelations 22:18-19 The scriptures are plain.  The Bible is not to be played with.  The words written in it are to be taught and preached unto the soul of men.  To add to the what the Lord has already said will bring plagues upon man kind.  To take away from what the word says, will cause a person's part in the holy city (Heaven) to be removed.  So, why would anyone try and change what the Bible says?  Cute sayings do not lead a soul to salvation.  It takes the Word preached and taught.  The Bible says specifically that the word is God ( John 1:1 ).   The Bible says specifical
