Family Down time

Hello again everybody, I am going through some down time through the middle month of July,  My family and I went on vacation last week to Charleston, SC and Folly Beach.  We got to visit the WWII aircraft carrier "the Yorktown" and went to the city Market with some fine sea food dinning.  We had a great time and rested and relaxed.

Here are a some pictures.

Again, just a great time with family.  The good Lord took us there and brought us back safe. We always start our family trips with a word of prayer, asking God to lead us, guide us and protect us. Also we ask Him to bless our trip and our time together and He always does, PTL!! 

It's great to be a child of God.  We all may be creations of God, but we all may not be children of God.  You have to be saved, born again. Become a follower of God, accept Him as your Lord and Savior.  Ask, Believe and confess. 

God Bless you, pray for us.

A testimony verse

Psalm 57:9

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Wow, I found this verse and the Lord spoke to my heart and mind.  But it's a testimony verse for me.

A personal purpose seen - I will praise thee
How much do you praise the Lord ?? Well, it is personal and should be a personal with God.

It is a personal declaration, yet believers and the world need to see us as we praise the Lord. 

A practical proclamation shared - among the people

Do you proclaim praise so that others may see, what a testimony, for you and for the Lord.

A purpose proclaimed sung - among the nations
I will sing of the glories of the Lord forever, I will sing.  For He has put a song in my heart.

With a testimony, may God bless you, please call on Him today, then live for Him.

Happy Fourth !!

May God Bless America !!

GOD BLESS THE USA!!

(we've got to turn America back to God!!)

Pray for America.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you, have a great day my friend!!

Today

The Lord has put a smile on my face for He has made glad,
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. Psalms 4:7

The Lord has gave strength on for the day for the joy of the Lord is my strength,
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him
Psalms 28:7

The Lord has put a song in heart for wonderful is His words and works.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Psalms 40:3

if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

God Bless you, Have a great day friend,

Biblical Prophecy

The truth about Biblical Prophecy

I have studied and taught bible prophecy, off and on for years. I even considered doing a prophecy blog. The Lord Jesus taught about the end times, it was big question of the disciples and on their mind.

But I never thought Great Britain nor USA was apart biblical Prophecy and end times, most christian book authors today want to include USA because it scares people not to include them, but truth is they are not mentioned, although post 2000 authors probably do ?? I have found it upsets many , I mean many that USA is not in Biblical Prophecy.  And the reasoning is for another blog someday.

 Either way, For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, today is the day to get right with God, Today is the day of salvation!!

It still could be the EU will be in end times without Great Britain or it will be another 10 countries?? It's Prophecy and has happened yet. But I'm looking and will keep looking .

Our precious faith

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2Peter 1:1

These verse just keeps speaking to me. I like this part of the verse where it says "to them that have obtained precious faith with us" My mind could see how Peter was talking about his salvation experience and exciting service for the Lord.

He said, "to them" those of you who have accepted the Jesus Christ and accepted Him as Lord and Savior. And that "WE" have something very precious our FAITH in Him, and it's through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Wow, there is so much here theologically !!  He is saying, what we received here is of God.  Through the Jesus Christ, which is the test and qualifier for our believing faith, and it happens to be what we got and believe in. I say, Praise the Lord, for I got it that way, I identify with Peter for he was called to believe and serve, so was I. (Amen!!)

Believing in Jesus Christ was not a very popular thing in Peter's day and neither is it in our day and time. But he said I know you received Him and those are the ones that I am writing to.  It touched me as I read and I felt that heart felt expression from the Apostle Peter.

 In his first letter, he declared himself as Peter (petras) that rock and living stone for the Lord, one who anchored the Twelve Disciples and spokesman / leader. But here in his second book, we see a humble human element of Peter saying I was Simon, then I became Peter, then a servant and now an Apostle.

As this scripture spoke to me, does it speak to you?? It is very easy to run right over it and many do in search for more information, but the trained eye and spirit led person can find the great truth here. And you may find truth today, which is the Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ, call on Him today and believe. See Rom.10:9,10,13

God bless you,

Apostle Peter and you

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. 2Pet.1:1

I read this verse this week, actually listened to it being read to me from my bible App on my cell phone.  But the verse jump out at me and touch my heart and mind.

It’s almost like a review of the Apostle Peter’s life. First, the bible says here, “Simon”. My mind’s vision went back to the apostle’s life before he met Christ. Simon the fisherman, he was that common man with a common trade, all of a man and all so human.  Yet the Good Lord chose Simon.  (He could choose you too)

Second, “Peter” from the Greek word “Petras” which means stone or pebble, the Lord would need a stone or rock to cornerstone his disciples, the twelve’s leader and many time spokesman was Peter. He would prove to be a good one, although he was up and down, he’s a great type of a Christian and what a Christian could be for the Lord.

Thirdly, “a servant” for it was that part of his life when he began to follow Christ after the call from the Lord; Jesus said I will make you fishers of men, literally “catchers of men”. At the time when Simon Peter started following the Lord in service and in studying for the Lord would teach these men His words, His ways and His wisdom. Yes a great time of Peter’s life. I cannot fail to mentioned servant as meaning  “bond- slave or bond servant ” as it is almost a given idea  here and has its place, but for me, he became that student servant, learning and leaning on the Lord. (well, much could be said here)

Then fourthly, “an apostle of Jesus Christ”, the word apostle means one sent with a message. But Peter had a mission and a mandate too. In the Book of Acts, Dr. Luke tells of the events of disciple, now apostle Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, as his source and power, going out and preaching on the Day of Pentecost, healing and helping those on this path, Acts 1-11 speaks of Peter and 12- 28 speaks of the apostle Paul.

Peter would later write First and Second Peter and these writing we find in the bible today. 

And so that first statement in 2 Peter 1:1 serves as a short outline of the Apostle Peter’s life, as least, that’s what came to my heart and mind.  How does God’s word touch you?? How does it move you??

As Jesus called Simon Peter, a common man with a common plan, and HE, Jesus is calling you today.  Will answer the call of salvation ?? What will you say ?? How will you answer??

The bible says for whosoever shall call in the name of the Lord shall be saved, for with the heart, man believes and with mouth confession is made to others, you MUST be born again!!

God Bless you friend, have a great day!!
