11/11/11 Apostolic Day

All these ones has me excited! I can’t let this day pass without sharing some ONEness with all of you! I am so thankful that God revealed himself to me and didn’t keep the mystery from those who seek him,

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV

I can’t thank him enough for letting me know there is one God and none other,

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Revelation 4:2 KJV

I thank God that he told the disciples to baptize in the NAME not names/titles

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19 KJV

And that he revealed what the name was, nowhere in the bible was anyone baptized in titles,

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV

Follow the steps!
A) Repentance
B) Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins
C) Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Acts 8:16 KJV

The Holy Ghost fell on them who were baptized in the name of the LORD Jesus, notice that is stressed in this scripture.

The cleansing power is not in the water but in the Name,

And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Acts 19:3-6 KJV

So glad to be a ONE God Apostolic Tongue Talking Holy Rolling Child of the Most High God that sets high and looks low that is ruler of all creator of all and the giver of life. He chose me to know this truth! He LET me take on his name in water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ and he lives in me!

Happy Apostolic Day! 11/11/11

Lower Than the Worm’s Belly

I am so thankful that Jesus Chose me to know his truth!

Out of all the people he could have chosen to put in my place, he chose me. I am nothing, and I am no one, but God picked me up out of the mess I was in, he took on my addictions, and showed me that there was life.

I am lower than the belly of a worm, and not worthy to lift the hands God gave me to praise him with, but he that is in me is great, he is mighty, he is the one and only God! I am so thankful that I know who Jesus is!

I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ! I call him by name!

There are often times I joke saying, I am first generation Apostolic, but even though I may say it jokingly, I could not be more thankful.

If God were to never do anything for me again, just revealing himself to me and the oneness of the Godhead is enough to last a lifetime.

Thank You Jesus!

Even though I never was or never will be worthy of your grace, mercy, or presence, you grace me with it anyway!

Thank God for the vineyard keeper, that keeps the fig tree just a while longer hoping it will bear fruit. I am thankful Jesus that you saw in me what myself or noone else did and called me to your truth! Your grace and mercy is all I need!

How small am I?

Been a great day setting here at work thinking about things. I was just walking in from the parking lot and realized how small and insignificant I am. I mean look around we are here for just a little while. Our lives are but a vapor and we are gone.
I want to live my life to the fullest. Live for God with all my heart and might. I am so thankful that he picked me up out of my mess and put me in a great church that I could grow in.
That he loved me enough to die on Calvary for me even though I’m not worthy.

Could, Should, and Will be Doing So Much More

After chewing on the preaching I heard over Labor Day weekend, I have realized that there is so much more I could be doing for God and the Church. Not only could I invite more people, but I need to get out there and be more of a witness than I am.

Acts 20:24

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God

There is a need in this world to hear truth, to see His face. There are way too many churches that are ticklers, of ears, and not preachers of truth.

Far too many churches are hung up on the ABC’s of salvation.

Too many churches are saying that all you have to do is

A. accept

B. believe

C. confess

This is not the case my friend.

The only ABC’s of salvation that will save you is found in Acts 2:38

A. Repent, tell God you are sorry for all you have done, and be sincere, you cannot play games with God, he knows where your heart is.

B. Be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, for the remission of your sins. There is power in no other name that can save you. Being baptized in the titles Father Son and Holy Ghost does not cut it. Nowhere in the Bible does anyone get baptized in the titles Father Son and Holy Ghost, but they are all baptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST!

C. Receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost, This is evident with speaking in other tongues. Not just changing the way you talk, but tongues that NO MAN can understand. A language between you and God that cannot be interpreted by man.

With that being said, I will be doing much more for my God, I will not just keep it all in and to myself, I am here to be a witness, and that is what I intend to be.

Always On Time

No matter how rough the road gets or how hopeless it may seem God is always on time. At times I have felt alone I have felt like there was no hope but my God was right there to catch me. There are times you don’t know where to turn times the walls are closing in but God is always there on time. When someone slams the door in your face God opens one that no man can shut. He is so good so great and I have nothing but praise for him. Just like the old song says “he may not come when you call him but he’ll be there right on time”. Just remember when you need him the most God is standing right in front of you with his arms wide open.

Change

It seems there are more and more people are trying to predict when the world is going to end. More and more natural disasters are happening, and less and less people believe there is a hell.

Let me tell you something my friend hell is real, and it is waiting for you if you are not right with God. There is no once saved always saved, there is no acceptance, or fly by the seat of your pants religion.

You are either saved or you are not my friend. Jesus said in Revelation that you are either hot or cold. If you are lukewarm he will spew you out of his mouth.

If you are trying to be saved, and don’t want to make any changes afterwards, like dressing the same acting, and talking the same, how is people going to see that God changed you and is working in your life? When you become a Christian you are supposed to become Christ like. That is not of the world. It seems there are a lot of come as you are type churches these days.I don’t want to come as I am I want to leave as he wants me to be!

If you do come as you are its one thing but please don’t stay as you are. Let the potter mold you and make you into what he wants. There are so many times that God wants to do something for us but we get in the way.

I want to change! I am not just talking about when you first get in church, but change every day! I want to draw closer to Jesus. I don’t want to get stale and dried up.

I want to be changed to be more like him! Paul said he died daily, what makes us any better than him?

LORD I want to be more like you please don’t let me loose what I have, please keep my mind, my eyes, and my heart set on you.

Praise Break

I have to take time to give God the praise. He has been so good to me he has opened doors that weren’t even there! He has made ways when there are no ways. He is way better to me than I have ever been to myself. He bled and died he was crucified for me .
Thank you Jesus!

Thank him and quit playing the “blame game”

Thank God for what he does instead of “passing the buck” and blaming him for the bad. I have trouble understanding people it seems like when things are going bad God did it. I am so tired of hearing “why did God put me through that” or “God is just testing me.” Why can’t we all just realize most bad stuff that happens to us is self inflicted.
Instead of thanking God for his ggodness we are blaming him for our problems.
You know what God bas done for me…..
Not bad things…..
He was beat all night long
he hung on a tree and gasp for every breath with blood running down his face and body….
He drank that bitter cup full of my sins….
Be gave me breath and woke me up…
He called me out and showed me truth…..
Now that’s the kind of things God does.
So fees up take responsibility and thank him quit blaming him.

look at yourself….

Seems like we all always have something to say about someone else. We all look at other people’s faults, and try to justify our own. We are always trying to figure things out on our own, or by ourselves, when all it really does is add stress.

Why not look at the wrong things in our lives, and not put everyone else under a microscope?

Why not cast our cares on Jesus like the Bible says, and quit trying to take it on ourselves to do his job?

Life is too short to try to worry about what everyone else thinks, or what they are doing, we need to keep our eyes on our goal, making heaven our home, and quit trying to judge everyone else.

I have found myself guilty of this several times in the past weeks, and have been working on making some changes!

I am going to have more faith in God, and stop worrying about what everyone else may be doing, or what they think about it.

I am going to make some changes, and hope that they influence others to try to make things better for themselves as well!

Stand out and make a change, because even if no one else is watching God sees all!

Keep your arms open and your mouth shut.

God is good! He is great, magnificent, and wonderful.

I know there are two holidays a year that churches begin to fill, but slowly begin to fall back to the same faithful saints that have been coming.

Is it because of us? We are the body of Christ, we need to treat others as we would want to be treated. I am very guilty of seeing the people who seem to come occasionally and be in church a few weeks at a time, and the thought will cross my mind of “how long will they stay this time”

THAT IS NOT RIGHT

When a lost soul comes to church we need to invite them in with open arms, ARMS not MOUTHS!

We need to keep our mouths off of people, if they are coming back there is still hope!

This has been weighing on me lately, and I believe if we change our congregations will grow!
