Here are some questions, as you watch the links, (video’s).

1.  Have you ever purchased a concert ticket and chose where your seats would be?

     Certainly, seats are based on the value we pay for them.   “The higher the price, the better the seat”.  

Section (A – J)   Seats are Up Front near the stage, reserved for the “Higher Income” or (High Rollers).

Section (K – T)   The middle section is usually for the “Middle Income” content to be (In Betweener’s).

Section (U – Z)    For all those who hope those in front of them will eventually sit down. (The Backers).

2.  Have you ever bought tickets to one of these two Sporting Events?

     More than likely you have. but, instead of Up Front, Middle and Back, the venue would let you choose your seats based on Lower Level, Middle Level and Upper Level.  Prices as you know would depend on what level you want and how close you want to be near the field and to the players.  

FOOTBALL.  The best seat for this game would be “Right on the 50 yard line”  The view is excellent but the cost is much higher to buy the tickets.  These seats are normally reserved for the seasoned veteran, or fan who have the money to spend for the view of the game.

BASEBALL.  The seats that fans ask to buy for this game, are behind “First Base, Third Base, or directly “Behind Home Plate”.   For Kids, you hope to get “Behind the Dugout” hoping to get an Autograph.

**This is where I want you to see the difference in the ticket that you have purchased for entertainment purpose, and the Sin ticket that GOD has purchased to Redeem Us, and PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE for US.  The HOLY SPIRIT is reminding me to let you know that the upcoming “People Get Ready Tour” Event is getting closer with each passing day.  Many seats are still available upon request, so call now to RESERVE your place with the SAINTS that have already called.  All the ANGEL’s in Heaven are on stand-by and waiting to rejoice with you so make that call.  Note: JESUS is still offering you a Front Row Seat with HIM in GLORY.  “The Reward of a Lifetime”.

3.  Have you received your ticket via Knee Mail to the Next GREATEST Event in HISTORY (HIS RETURN)?  

    Answer:  All tickets to this Main Event are FREE.  They were paid: “With the BLOOD OF JESUS”.  

4.  How do I get my FREE  ticket?                                                                                                                            

    Answer: By simply making one phone call from your Heart to GOD’s Heart.  Read Romans 10:9-10  

5.  Where can I find my ticket?                                                                                                                                

    Answer: Where the LOST are FOUND,  (At The Foot Of The CROSS). 

I want to end this blog in letting you know about the Greatest Ticket that you could possibly own to the Greatest Event Ever Coming.  Believe it or not, you are still invited.  Just RSVP and JESUS will RESERVE you a place beside HIM in HEAVEN.

Thank you LORD for the privilege to write about you and for the honor of eyes that read & ears that hear.

            

 SIN WAS DEFEATED, Where? At the CROSS OF CALVARY!!

The HOLY SPIRIT shared with me two acronyms for the words SIN and SON.   Both words are only three letters each, and easy to remember, but what a powerful difference between the two:  

The word SIN, sees itself’s needs with the focus on the word ITSELF’s starting with the letter “I”.

The word SON, sees other’s needs with the focus on the word OTHER’s starting with the letter “O”.

 In 2000, the LORD gave me the opportunity of sharing with my mom, via telephone the two acronyms SIN & SON .  As soon as I shared the two words with her, she immediately stated:  “What an EYE OPENING experience”.   She had used the two letters “ I & O”(eye opening).  She is with GOD today,  Thank you MOM for your comment.  I will always remember that conversation of JOY with you.

SIN.  Where did it originate?, and how does it separate me from GOD?

GENESIS is where sin originates.   GOD gave Adam the freedom to eat from any tree in the garden,  but commanded him to refrain from the fruit of the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.   Adam ate the fruit offered to him that Eve  took from the Tree that GOD commanded not to eat from.  The only single command GOD had told him, yet he willfully ate the fruit.  Adam’s action to disobey GOD’s word dis-connected mankind from GOD.

ISAIAH tells us clearly that everyone who has ever lived (apart from CHRIST) has been a sinner, both by birth (inheriting Adam’s sinful nature) and by our own deliberate actions.  “All we like sheep have gone astray,”  He goes further in Verse 53:6 “we have turned, every one, to his own way”, then adds in the second half of Verse 53:6  “And the LORD has laid on HIM (JESUS), the iniquity of us all”.   JESUS did more than pay the penalty for our sin’s; He actually took away our sin’s and carried them HIMSELF to the CROSS.  PAUL wrote in (2 CORINTHIANS 5:21) “For He made HIM who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the Righteousness of GOD in HIM”(JESUS).

SON.  JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, THE SECOND PERSON IN THE TRINITY.  THE DAY IS COMING WHEN “EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD”  I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT DAY IT IS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE DAY IS NEARER THAN YOU THINK.  I PRAY WITH ALL MY HEART THAT EACH ONE OF YOU WOULD GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF LIFE (THE BIBLE) THAT WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU, AND THAT YOUR BOOK OF LIFE WILL BE OPENED & READ IN HEAVEN BY THE AUTHOR HIMSELF.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.  Please review the video link provided to this BLOG.  

As MORNING is to the SUN.

As NIGHT is to the DARK.

As STARS are to the GALAXY.

As FISH are to the SEA.

As TREES are to the EARTH.

As LEAVES are to a TREE.

As SAND is to the DESERT.

As MOUNTAINS are to the SKY.

As ICE is to the COLD.

“AS MAN IS TO OUR GOD”

EVERYTHING THAT IS, has been CREATED BY GOD.  Each one CREATED for a UNIQUE & SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

Here are two examples that come to my mind in speaking on the subject of purpose.  We use them everyday. 

LAMPS.   Think for a moment of owning lamps without having light bulbs.  The lamps must co-exist with the light bulbs to serve there purpose, as neither one of them can make it on their own, in other words, the lamp stand has it’s purpose, and the bulbs have their purpose, but together they can brighten up any room.  In this example, I want you to see that the light bulb is hidden behind the shade, and yet, being the smallest part to the lamp, it brings the greatest feature to the room which is light.

DOORS.   A door cannot be installed properly without the hinges that allow the door to swing back and forth.  Once again, neither the door nor the hinges can make it on their own, they must function together if they’re going to serve there purpose.  Notice once again that hinges are the smallest part of installing a door and are hidden behind the door.   They provide the greatest function of the door by allowing it to swing back and forth.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR PURPOSE?     

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

 If not, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal both of these questions with GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE in your life.  Upon hearing what your purpose is and why are you here, you will come to say:

“WHAT AM I WITHOUT YOU”   https://youtu.be/NdHBx34ALjU  TWILA PARIS

Please listen for the lyrics in the song that say:

“What am I but a piece of earth breathing Holy Breath”.

“What am I but a wayward child, given life for certain death”.

ALL MY LOVE, TIM

DEAR LORD,

 

PLEASE REVEAL WHO YOU ARE IN ME

MY DESIRE IS TO KNOW YOU MORE

I’M YOUR SERVANT YOU DESIGNED TO BE

SHARING GRACE TO BOTH RICH & POOR

 

STEER ME AWAY FROM ALL DISTRACTIONS

AND FREE MY HEART FROM MUCH WORRY

 TO TELL THE WORLD WHO YOU REALLY ARE

NEVER BEING IN SUCH A HURRY

 

LORD OPEN MY EARS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE

AND MY EYES TO SEE YOUR GLORY

TOUCHING EVERY SOUL WITH SEEDS OF TRUTH

DECLARING YOUR LOVE & YOUR STORY

 

MOLD ME INTO YOUR LIKENESS LORD

THAT YOU CAN SEE IN ME YOURSELF

AND HELP ME GO THE DISTANCE GOD

NOT SITTING UPON SOME SHELF

 

I KNEEL BEFORE YOUR HOLY CROSS

TO PROCLAIM THE WAY OF SALVATION

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD

WHO IS KING OF EVERY NATION

 

THANK YOU LORD

IN JESUS NAME,

AMEN

     Have you ever asked this question; “Does anyone care, does anyone really care”?  If you have,  you’re just like the rest of us.  Life tends to get a little rough at times and we need a little more certainty that everything will work out just fine.  Especially during the times, where we need a friend we can confide in and share all that is crushing us inside.  A friend that will listen with their arms and not say a word.  Do you have any friends like that? Ones that are willing to go the distance with you no matter how painful it might be or how long your suffering will last?   If your answer is no to the above questions, this upcoming song and video prepared for you will not only introduce you to a friend, but a Friend that already knows how you feel prior to telling HIM.  HE knows all your present hurts and past hurts, and longs to have a relationship with you.  A Friend that LOVES you no matter what you have done, what you have said, or how you have lived your life up to this very moment.   A Friend that freely gave up HIS LIFE for you and is now asking you to free up your life for HIM.  

LORD, may you BLESS every listening ear to the lyrics of this song.  Please LORD, Open the eyes who watch this video, and may they receive new vision for WHO YOU ARE and WHY YOU CAME.  LORD, Touch their Hearts and Heal their Pain.   Help them to know they have a Friend in JESUS, and more importantly a “SAVIOR IN CHRIST” that has carried them this far.  In JESUS NAME I pray.  AMEN

This song speaks to me every time I hear it.  In the song, she is asking to be broken and poured out, and to start again.  Have you ever said those words to GOD; “Let me be broken”?   It is only when we are broken that we pour out what is contained in us.  If you were completely broken today, what would pour out?  I hope your loved ones would see JESUS through your tears.    In GOD’s great classroom of life, HE looks at your grade and allows you to take the test again and again until you PASS .  You cannot fail a test when you call on HIM as your teacher.  HE is the only one who gives second chances at completely starting over in Life and in Love.

 I am sending you two links to this song.  One without the lyrics LIVE, and the other one with the lyrics to sing with.   

My acronym for this BLOG is:  Believers Lean On God.  “HE IS STRONG ENOUGH”

I hope that you have been encouraged.  In JESUS name I pray.

Your Brother in CHRIST.   

Matthew 26:39

JESUS is our supreme example of surrender.  The night before HIS crucifixion, HE surrendered HIMSELF to GOD’S plan as saying, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.  Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

     Are you tired of the old way of living life and wanting to try something new?  May I suggest that surrendering your life to JESUS is the only way.  All other approaches lead to frustration, disappointment, and self-destruction.  The wisest decision of your life is saying “YES” to GOD.  Sometimes it takes years, but eventually you discover that the greatest hindrance to GOD’S BLESSING is you!  You cannot fulfill GOD’S purposes for your life while focusing exclusively on your own plans.  If GOD’S going to do HIS DEEPEST work in you, it’ll begin with surrender.  So give it all to GOD:  your past regrets, your present problems, your future ambitions, your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. “LET GO & LET GOD”.  Don’t be afraid; nothing under HIS control can ever be out of control.  Whatever your struggling with today, I want you to know through personal experience; the more you surrender, the greater HIS Strength will be in your life, Your Victories will arise as you surrender your will and your life to the LORD.

  “You were purchased with the highest price HEAVEN could pay upon the CROSS”.  

  “You cannot afford to: “Live without JESUS anymore”.

I pray the link to the song Bless all of you who hear it.

GOD BLESS YOU,

John 13:34

A NEW COMMAND I GIVE YOU:  LOVE ONE ANOTHER.  As I have LOVED you, so you must love one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

The video that you are about to see, made me think of a phrase that I heard years ago.  That if we were accused of being Christians, how much EVIDENCE would there be to convict us?  The Holy Spirit spoke to me at that time and said:  We are not to be Silent when we Testify of OUR SAVIOR in this Courtroom of Life.   We raise our right hand and state our full name, then promise to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me GOD.  What is the TRUTH, and how do we testify to the TRUTH?  The TRUTH is JESUS CHRIST and HIS LOVE for us.  As HIS followers, we must obey HIS COMMAND and LOVE one another.  This is the proof that should convict us.  

John 15:12-13

My command is this: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.  GREATER LOVE has no one than this, that HE lay down HIS LIFE for HIS friends. 

The EVIDENCE of THE GREATEST LOVE ever shown toward humanity was displayed on “THE CROSS”.    Listen, if HE can RAISE BOTH HIS HANDS TO BE NAILED UPON A CROSS, we certainly should not be ashamed to raise just one our hands to show that WE LOVE HIM.

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I AM gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Isaiah 40:28-31

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting GOD, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.  Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

I pray that as you hear the words of the upcoming song, that the lyrics will grab your heart as it did mine.  This song is for all those who thought about throwing in the towel and not being ashamed to admit it.  JESUS knows who you are and wants to hear from you.   Cry out to him and call upon him for his strength to make it through each day.  JESUS Loves you.

1 John 5-7      

Here is the message we have heard from CHRIST and now announce to you:  GOD is LIGHT, and in HIM there is no darkness at all.  So if we say we have FELLOWSHIP with GOD, but we continue living in the darkness, we are liars and do not follow the truth.  But if we live in the LIGHT, as GOD is in the LIGHT, we can share FELLOWSHIP with each other.  Then the BLOOD OF JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, cleanses us from every sin.

1 John 2:9-11

Anyone who claims to be in the light and hates his brother is still in the darkness.  Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.  But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

      JESUS taught that friends were not to show their power over one another, but to serve each other.  Their relationships were not just for their own enjoyment; they were to work together for the Good News.  It was a friendship with a purpose.  We are called not only to GOD, but to one another, in love, unity and service.  We are to make a special effort to reach out to those who are different than we are.   GODS love will open doors of opportunity for us to share HIS love with people who will become friends for life.  

For me personally, I am so grateful for the FRIENDS that GOD has placed in my life from my childhood  to my career in the Navy and even those to whom he has given me as neighbors throughout the years.  They all reserve a room in my heart forever.  

 To all my Brothers and Sisters in the LORD that continue to share HIS WORDS of LIFE with me, I am Eternally Thankful to be called your Friend!!
