Think about this really hard: When Jesus fed the 5,000 and 10,000 people there were NO restaurants or stores and there WAS NOT enough food on hand to feed them but after prayer He produced not only enough to feed them well but there were leftovers!

Don’t let this be you:
Matt 13:15
15 For this people's heart has become calloused;
NIV

Be very careful about what you say:
Matt 12:33-37
33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
NIV

What about people who think that they are taking care of themselves?
Matt 12:30
30 "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
NIV

It’s been rather hard for me to imagine why God didn’t make everything different. But it was His will to let people chose.
Matt 12:18-21
18 "Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope."
NIV

Even though God was among then and doing things that thy could not do they thought that killing Him was the only thing to do because it took care of them.

The religious people did this then and they’ll do it today.
Matt 12:14
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
NIV

Matt 11:28-30

28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
NIV

Matt 11:25-26

25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
NIV

Matt 11:18-19
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."
NIV

So much for fashions:
Matt 11:8
8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces.
NIV

God did not come here to bring peace:
Matt 10:34

34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
NIV

People still laugh:
Matt 9:23-24
23 When Jesus entered the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, 24 he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him.
NIV

This is why God came to the Earth:
Matt 9:10-13
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
NIV

Tax collectors were not viewed by Society as good at all but Jesus called one:
Matt 9:9-10
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
NIV

This has been going on for years:
Matt 8:34
34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
NIV

I asked for nothing and was given a stone!
Matt 7:9
9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
NIV

It doesn’t say IF:
Matt 7:7-8
8 For everyone who asks receives
NIV

Fashion is one of the gods of today. The LAST thing that people think about is that God will clothe them:
Matt 6:28-31
28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
NIV

All the time I hear people saying: “it was more than I could ask for or imagine” and that makes sense because they’re human so what they could ask for or imagine is human but God isn’t human.

After going through as much as I have it has taken me 11 years to be aware of what is actually going on and I don’t like it at one bit.

Evidently things are just the same now as they’ve always been although it all surprises me a great deal.

I would have to go through things point by point to thoroughly explain just how I feel but I won’t. Let me just say that all things support the human race even ideas about God! In other words things support the created beings but not the Creator!

The Bible which is God’s word has even been modified to support people. The fact that God as a topic is still allowed is good but people now use God as a means to support their futures and lives and retirements which is not good.

To understand that God created the World and then humans to live in that World as they choose is not so good. I have read in the Bible that the road is narrow and few will find it and I couldn’t understand it but now I’m seeing how narrow the road is and how few will find it and I don’t like it.

My displeasure is supported by the Bible so I just can’t see why people can’t see it themselves but it makes no money as it is so people have modified what God has said to suit themselves and their lifesyles.

The word of God (which is ALL I read) is considerably different from the doctrine I hear being lived by and taught. Why do you suppose that is?

My sole encouragement to you is to have faith. Not just a belief in something but a self denying belief. The YOU has to die and Christ must live in you. Also when Christ lives in you you are dead to sin and it has no effect on you at all and you are forgiven. This is NOT a Church doctrine because God said it Himself.

There are no other requirements, that’s it! I know Gods will quite well and this is ALL in there.

Most people are taught THAT TO BE HOLY THEY MUST AVOID SIN but Jesus said that when you follow Him you are DEAD to sin. So if you’re living without Christ you’re a sinner but with Christ you are dead to sin. So are the people who teach about sin with Christ?

When I was injured what mankind could see was that I should die but God knew that my heart was His so I lived. Mankind WILL NOT HIRE ME but God takes care of me.

Mans opinion is NOT Gods. Man looks at things he can see but God looks at things that can’t be seen.

1 Sam 16:7

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
NIV

I’m just or even better than you. Yes I’m handicapped but I’m no different than anyone else. But I can’t meet qualifications AKA expectations so no one is comfortable with me. God takes care of me because no one will hire me.

Matt 6:25-26

25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
NIV

Matt 6:24

24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
NIV

God causes the things of this World to happen for everyone whether they’re good or bad.

After His baptism Jesus was tempted by the devil and shown many wonderful things and promised that they would be His if He worshiped the devil. People are promised many wonderful things today too!

There isn’t one place in the Bible where God gets angry with people! He always explains…

Following God is such a simple thing to do but mankind has made it very complicated to the point that it does not agree with His word!

The Bible is a letter from the Creator to His Created. Alone it does not warn against interpretations or understandings but mankind does. Mankind has made it so complicated that people have to go to school to learn about it. But it’s just a simple letter!

Jesus, God has been very thorough is explaining what He wants in The Bible which is a letter to His creations and it was meant to be understood by usual people.

How you appear to others does not matter: 1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self , the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

To follow Jesus He said: you have died with Him so deny yourself because you no longer exist and take up your cross.

In the Bible it says that to obey the word of the Lord is better than sacrifice and that is still true.

In the Bible we see repeated examples of how God helped people but people now think that all help from God is only based on what they do. So is God helping them or are they helping themselves?

In the Old Testament every time that God helped people they built an alter to God but now our lives are an alter to God.

It’s very difficult for people to believe that they are ‘qualified’ but remember that no one is qualified based on themselves, we are qualified based on Christ alone.

When God led the people through men terrible things happened to people but now that God is leading people through Jesus bad things can still happen to people on Earth but Eternally only good things will happen to people.

My reading this morning was titled: Disqualification and it spoke about having to pray for forgiveness. Now if God is OMNI and Jesus died once and for all then didn’t God already know that we would do this and aren’t we forgiven?

Where is marital commitment? People are very willing to commit to the purchase of homes etc. but not so much to marriage. I feel that if people are willing to commit to spending time and money on someone then a commitment to marriage is the next step.

Everyone is looking for somewhere that is new, somewhere that they have not experienced before, somewhere that is a bit of a risk but worth the risk, so to me they’re talking about Heaven!

“It’s worth taking a chance” is what people say in this life but in Christianity there are no chances and it is totally worth it.

Better is NOT in this life. In this life opinions can ruin what you think is better. All time better is a gift from God and that won’t come in this life.

Opinions are just that…opinions. They are personal and they are based on personal beliefs they are not actual facts.

If you make people happy then you’ll get recognition now and if you make God happy you probably won’t get anything now but you’ll get ETERNAL LIFE later. The win is up to you.

MONEY only buys things that you can see NOW ONLY it’ll do nothing at all for Eternity. So you may feel good NOW, but you can’t buy ETERNITY.

MONEY only buys things that you can see NOW ONLY it’ll do nothing at all for Eternity. So you may feel good NOW, but you can’t buy ETERNITY.

I went to the Dentist first thing his morning and it was raining but instead of being upset that I was getting wet I knew that God brought the rain only when it was needed, so I didn’t feel the need to complain.

More hope for a fool.
Proverbs 26:12
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
NIV

See? People never just saw God:
1 Sam 12:18
So all the people stood in awe of the LORD and of Samuel.
NIV

God spent years living among the people that He had created. First physically, then through prophets then judges, then kings but now through Jesus.

When God’s people were under judges they demanded a King instead and so God chose someone who was different from among them but some chose to reject him too.

When God worked through Judges He told people about things that would and did happen in the future. Not bad for an OMNI God.

We have been PROMISED much more than we can possibly gain on the Earth so why are ‘things’ of this Earth so important to us?

For all you do you expect to get stuff. Depending on the type of stuff that you get you are happy and you and others think you have made it. But with God you do nothing and get a lot more.

On TV people always say: “This is more than I could have asked for or imagined” and I always think: “That’s because all you could ask for or imagine is within what you see.”

Money, money, money everyone wants money. Nothing is free. So if I don’t work then I don’t fit in.

Why is getting rid of childhood cancer or breast cancer or Alzheimer’s always based on money? We could do this without spending money if we wanted to.

Everything good and valuable is based on opinions in fact this whole world is based on opinions however opinions are based only on how YOU feel and what YOU know:
Proverbs 18:2
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions .
NIV

“Our experts will explain who…” the show says. So let’s define experts: human people who specialize in something and know what human people like, that is an expert. But people who are called experts get a lot of attention and money and they didn’t create it.

I watch TV and I focus on shows that do things even with food and as watching I am thoroughly impressed with what God has given us and thoroughly unimpressed with what the people to whom it was given are doing for credit and money.

As one of God’s creations I don’t want to spend endless minutes and countless dollars trying to make myself look better than the person that God made me to be.

People have many ways of rewarding themselves when they feel that they have done something special or they’ve done something well but since God created everything and all He asks for is faith that removes you from the focus and puts it on God.

God has given us not only so much to look at but also the ability to be attracted to things! Thank you God!

Do it & make it happen are two of the phrases that signify people doing things and people think that they’re special if they can but God created everything including what you need to do so SURPRISE! You can’t do it or make it happen because it’s already been done!

What I have consistently learned in the past 11 years is I can hope or want like crazy but what I get is decided by God. My emotions have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Why should I be amazed at the sounds of the birds? God created our ability to hear them! So again I should just be thanking God.

God decided that we would be just as we are but whether we have denying our self faith is up to us.

The standards that mankind have established include some and exclude some and they cost money but the standards that God has established include all, exclude none and are free.

If you always take care of you on this Earth then you are all you’ll have in eternity.

Tomorrow is not today and there’s no guarantee but today with God is right now and there IS a guarantee.

If God has known what I be doing since before I was born then He has known what you’d be doing too!

This morning I’m listening to the different kinds of birds and marveling at how God has given each of them a unique and very specific sound.

God has given us MORE than we can ask or imagine so why are the things of this Earth that He created so important to us? Often more important than God.

To accomplish things that are of this Earth are of this Earth. God expects us to accomplish things that are not of this Earth.

When God came here as a human He tried to get people to focus only on God and they killed Him. To hope that it’ll be different for us is nice but it won’t happen. We can try and some may learn but it won’t be well accepted.

Jesus said that to follow God you have to deny yourself. He made it very clear but most people don’t like to do that.

God has always given the people that He chose gifts but for some reason we depend of the things of this Earth (people, money, position, status) before God. If things go well then we give God the glory.

“…turned aside from their ways for personal gain” has always been the story of mankind.

People ALWAYS put their trust other people other than in God. They still do.

God gave humans other humans o try to lead them but they wouldn’t listen to them either. Nothing has changed but God is here with us always.

The number of individual people are as many as the number of people there are. But certain people expect to be treated in certain ways which is unfair because everyone is individual and everyone can’t guess what people want or expect.

When God came here as a human He tried to get people to focus only on God and they killed Him. To hope that it’ll be different for us is nice but it won’t happen. We can try and some may learn but it won’t be well accepted.

A great deal of the New Testament was written by Paul. He was out to stop the Church. Was he an educated man? NO. But God chose him.
_________________________________

This is LOVE: While we were yet destined for Hell God has saved us and made us destined for Heaven.

People always feel that they CAN and must MAKE IT HAPPEN but Satan runs the Earth and I don’t think that people have any power over Satan so I don’t think that it’s possible.

It is a huge blessing to know that you’ve been planned for as you are by God and since there’s nothing better in this world you have way more than most people realize.

In this world EVERYTHING is based in what you see which is odd because faith is based on what you can’t see.

I looked up the word ‘win’ in the Bible and I found it used many times but consistently the one who ‘wins’ is God not people.

God allows people to do what they want regardless of the type of thing because in the end He is the judge.

I am learning that I can live and live well as I have been initially developed by God! At first I thought that been screwed up by others but after 11 years I’ve finally learned it’s ok!

Jobs create tension and that is because people are trying to be something that they were not created to be. God didn’t establish the standards that they are trying to meet because His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

An education is very simply a way to take what God has already given you and conform it to the standards of this world.

Man ALWAYS tries to figure things out:
Prov 25:2
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
NIV

Time and time again in the Bible when mankind tried to make God comply with their terms mankind failed. I don’t see that things are any different today.

I have been given the idea that I am as I am for the purpose of teaching God’s creations about Him.

The word ‘deny’ is found all through scripture so it’s nothing new but to deny yourself is 100% opposite of what this World teaches To be the best certainly doesn’t follow suit.

The most difficult thing for people to do and even realize is that they must deny themselves. And I’m sure that’s why it’s in scripture.

We have to acknowledge that pleasing people may secure our jobs and make us happy on Earth but it may not please God.

What God has to say will not always please people.

Samson was a prophet of God but what he said from God was not always pleasing to others.

How we feel about things AKA our opinions are based on what we feel alone however God operates based on His will and may do things that don’t agree with opinions.

God is more impressive than anything else! People, their looks & talents change all of the time but God never changes!

Churches should be a lot more about God and a lot less about the people who work there.

I don’t think that people realize how much God knows them. Read Psalm 139. Your heart is a small portion of what He formed and because He is OMNI, He probably knew before you were born how you would be right now.

God has got to be #1 in you life and nothing else will do not money, status, position or education. He knows your heart so He knows where you are.

Cash is king in this world but cash’s kingdom only exists as long as you can see cash which is very limited in comparison to God who is the real King and we can’t see Him and His kingdom will last forever.

There are so many things that we can see that people want now! Which is funny because God which we can’t see, created everything.

I have been studying this and it’s just as real now as it was for Peter:
2 Peter 3:3-4
3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
NIV

Trying to get people to understand what I say is NOT easy. People are huge at understanding themselves! To put it bluntly I don’t work, I’m on Social Security, I budget everything month to month so I have NO MONEY. That wasn’t so hard to understand.

It doesn’t take much looking around to come to the inevitable conclusion that I can not make it in this world so it’s very good to know that I am completely accepted by God just as I am with no cameras.

It takes so much to try to impress each other but God doesn’t try to impress anyone EVER and He didn’t create us for that.

God must be cracking up while He watched His creations trying to impress each other as if they even have the ability!

The things I see are upsetting! Jesus for sure would NOT BE WELCOME today! Our use of technology, which was created by God has improved but all I hear is people congratulating themselves!

If you honestly think about it EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE ON EARTH focuses on YOU! How you make yourself, how you look and what you do equate to how you and others view YOU but our faith is on what we can’t see.

In my opinion as a Christian our responsiblity with children is to teach them as Jesus said to deny temselves which is 100% opposite of what this world teaches them. They are always taught to be better but if they are created then that would mean that their creator screwed up every time!

As a Christian my role IS NOT to be proud of you it’s to be happy with God.

Do you realize that I have purchased many homes in many states but I have NEVER been to even 1 closing?

I went to the Dentist today and while I was waiting for the bus I was observing the birds and remembering scriptures about how God cares for them.
________________________________
after the Dentist I was thinking about this: God gave humans the ability to reproduce—and we do. But it is clearly also OUR RESPONSIBILTY to teach our children to DENY THEMSELVES but often we don’t. In fact the world standard is to make the best of themselves which is often parentally reinforced.
_______________________________
For it is by grace you were saved it is a gift so that is not by works so that no one may boast. Christ has given us His righteousness because we can’t earn it on our own.
_________________________________
We were set for Hell but Christ took all that away by giving us His righteousness so it doesn’t matter what you make of yourself.
_________________________________
God IS NOT something that will make society happy He never has. But with society happy or not, it’s still the ONLY truth out there.
_________________________________
The Bible says that if we are free then we are free indeed but what are we free from? We are no longer TRYING to be righteous because God gave us His righteousness. So we are FREE INDEED!
_________________________________
To believe in God and what He has said and done for you is to set yourself apart from this World in the same way that you are set apart from Satan.
_________________________________
When we say that we’re going to ‘hold on to Jesus’ that does not just mean Him as a person it means His word and Him as a person because His word is NOT in support of this world.
_____________________________

Whatever you have done or are doing or may do is nothing in comparison to what God has done or is doing or may do, in short you are not more important than God.

People think that life is ALL about what you can see so many things re based on that but my life is based on what I can’t see.

Human people have developed what they FEEL are acceptable ways to include God in our lives but acceptable to who?

I am NOT dejected or depressed. God is keeping me happy and satisfied as I am. I have mentioned things that my Christian family could do but it’s from scripture and it’s for them not me.

On the Domino’s box is says: Mozzarella is milk’s leap to immorality
and that got me to thinking. The definition of immortality is not correct in this world. Immortality means beyond mortality and the last time I checked mozzarella wasn’t mortal.

Determining knowledge among human’s is very difficult to accept at a human educational level. At a human educational level everything is limited to humans and it doesn’t include God so it’s quite limited.

People’s impression of themselves has become very important but their view and other’s view of themselves is key but it’s just a human’s view so no matter what anyone thinks it’s just what a human thinks.

People try so hard at ALL schools. People have decided that human education is everything disregarding God’s purpose for their existence.

Society has the answer to everything except eternity. You can fix this problem with this and that problem with that which is fine for this world but nothing will work in eternity.

Society has the answer to everything except eternity. You can fix this problem with this and that problem with that which is fine for this world but nothing will work in eternity.

Accessories and words do so much to fix everything in this life. Unfortunately there won’t be any accessories, words or things that need fixing in eternity. Are you ready?

Yes I’ll be less off than many people in this world but eternity and the promise of eternity will never end. So which is more important to you? Lifetime or eternity?

In our lives many things seem important in fact we often choose what is the most important. So let me ask you what is the most important to you? Most of you did not say your salvation. So if you get whatever you feel is important will salvation be waiting?

This is not something that you may have thought of before but the scriptures say that God never changes so let’s think about that. Did God create Satan? Yes. Did Satan cause mankind to sin? Yes. Did God destroy him? No. Are you alive? Yes.

The thing that really upsets me is that just because no one ever taught you about God doesn’t mean a thing! He’s your creator and He’s coming back and when He does you have to be ready so the time to prepare is NOW!

When God comes again eternity WILL begin. There is an end to this life on this Earth called death but there is no end to eternity and that makes it more important.

God created everything that exists in fact ‘exists’ is just because of God. But humans are special creations from God but humans don’t recognize it, they never have.

There are 2 kinds of people:
People who do something because they’ve been told to,
People who do something because they know it’s the right thing to do.

I just created a T-Shirt that says:
I NEVER amaze myself but
God ALWAYS amazes me!

“Be grace given by God” is why I teach you, not by my abilities but it is a gift.

Many times the Bible tells us that Heaven is not about the things WE live for here.

Whether we live or whether we die we are the Lord’s and that raises issues with the reason that we are here being for us.’

Just to be honest, people aren’t thinking about eternity at all they are only looking at right now. It is as if Eternity isn’t going to happen at all. But it is and if I can get them to face some actual reality as opposed to what they can accept I’m going to have to change my position.

The things that I see promise a change in how you feel about yourself. Unfortunately they never admit that the feeling will only last for a short time. But living for God will make you feel good and it will last eternally.

I see people who say that they are ‘experts’ just speaking words to supposedly prove their points but God gave us the words that prove His point in the Bible. I prefer to go by God’s words because His words go much farther than people’s opinions.

Denying yourself is the most difficult thing for a human to do because our culture teaches us that we are the most important thing but who runs our culture?

To say that God is the most important thing means that His will will be accomplished and not ours. On the night He was arrested, God as a human even struggled with that. He said: Not my will be done but your will be done.

So I don’t bring this up because it’s a personal issue because it’s more than that. It’s us verses the world much the same as it was when God came here.

Rom 12:2-6
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.
NIV

What we are is in accordance with the grace given to us. God is in charge much more than it is thought by most. So once you’ve come to Him and denied yourself letting Him take over with grace then it doesn’t depend on you anymore because you have died with Christ and now it’s up to Him.

We are told by God: “be ye not conformed to this world but be ye transformed…”. Now that alone tells me that we should be different from everyone else.

The term: Expert is supposed to cover what you know but it obviously includes many other unrelated things. I, for example have a lot of experience and education but I’m not considered at all to be an expert because I’m handicapped.

I have unfortunately stepped into a VERY LIMITED position among people. My friends limit me a lot. I’m not old or anything like that but I am not included in anything. And I’m supposed to deal with that?

People have nothing as compared to me because I have gone through so much and made so many HUGE changes. And I couldn’t have done it without God.

People THINK that the Bible talks about wages for any worker but it does not. It does discuss the need to be fair with wages but what people do and who they do it for are very separate. If you work for a company that’s one thing but if you work for the Lord that’s different because they are not the same.

Honestly, is there any boasting about you or your abilities? Did you create yourself?

The things I write about agree completely with God’s word but disagree completely with this world. Now why is that?

Think about this: Is your career based on YOU and what YOU have done/can do or on God and what He has done?

Think about this: Is your career based on YOU and what YOU have done/can do or on God and what He has done?

As humans our pride is the most important thing to us but Jesus said that I have done this for you so don’t boast about it.

It’s Naturally That Way!
Don’t be fooled natural just means that it was planned by God.

The one thing that we haven’t discussed is sex. Men & Women have been developed for each other but not to have sex until they are married. And the feelings surrounding sex are used by anyone but they are truly a gift from God.

I WIN!

The most important thing for any human to say is: I WIN! But when someone comes to Christ they can say I won not because of myself but because of Him.

IF the ONLY thing that we had to offer to the world was US then God would have planned our lives but He didn’t. He allows US to make our own choices.

Because of how we are raised the most difficult thing for us as humans to accept is that everything IS NOT ABOUT US. Everything is about God and we’re here to make that happen.

I’m going to start this day by saying this and I don’t care if you believe it or not: Our life IS NOT about what we do it’s about what has been done for us.

Let’s take a look at me. I’m here for anyone to see. After being severely injured I have gone through much more than other people have, I’m very handicapped but God has taken care of me. I can brag about nothing except that my God, my Father has taken care of me. I can remember nothing but God has given me everything. For me to be able to do anything at all is a blessing. I can’t and don’t boast about anything. To have it all removed from me is good because most of you can do whatever you want but I can do nothing and therefore am thankful to God for everything. What a wonderful place to be!

0n 4/1/11 I weighed in at 245 pounds but I just weighed 180 pounds which means I’ve lost 65 pounds in 36 days! Where will it stop? Only God knows!

People seem to want to take or give credit for many things but this is our world created by God for us. Without the initial creation by God then we wouldn’t be here.

When something is humanly planned & enjoyed because it was planned by YOU and not God it is somewhat silly to say that God did it. Sure the bulk of the credit is God’s but if people enjoyed it then it is human regardless of God’s effort. We can make things to be whatever we want.

Humans try very hard to always be THE BEST but humans NEVER give credit to their creator for what the can do, NO they take ALL of the credit for themselves.

There is SO MUCH MORE to this life than money, fame, degrees, fortune and this world could ever get you!

The thing that I see happening the MOST is that people have made the things of this world very important, perhaps the MOST important thing to them. And they use religion to make it look OK. In 2 Peter they are called false.

One of the things that I was NEVER taught was that to focus on and be impressed by the things of this world meant that you were focusing on this world.

Religion depicts God as someone who we could NEVER please and our acceptance changes from moment to moment but they NEVER cover what Jesus actually did for us so The Good News becomes The Maybe News.

Rom 6:11

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
NIV

I bring this up so that you will know it.

Rom 6:18
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
NIV
So no more talk about sin. You had sin before you came to Christ but now you are dead to sin. That’s the Good News!

When God came here to Earth who did He appeal to?
A virgin
A man
Animals
Shepherds
3 Kings from a distant country
The majority with money? NO!
Was it a bad time? NO!

When someone wants to interest as many people as possible there is a very fine line that people draw between “self” and “God’s word”. The difference between the two is first of all isn’t God capable of getting people interested? So the difference is between you and God. To get people interested in God then use His word, people WILL be interested. It’s like nothing else! Otherwise if you try to get people interested in you then you have to use the things of this world and it may work for this world. So you have to appeal to this world and if you can’t then it won’t work for this world.
People seem to forget just how powerful God is and how much He loves us! At a time when we weren’t attractive at all He came and became one of us. And a place for animals was not the finest place to be born, but He did it. So whether or not we can attract the most people doesn’t matter. Who got the news that He was born? Shepherds. Were shepherds high and mighty? NO!

So did God want as many people as possible? Yes, but He knew who would accept Him.

The faith that I have means that no matter what I hear or experience NOTHING takes precedence or my mind off of God.

What people think is much more important to them than any pain they may caused. All they care about is being right (in their own minds).

Sometimes on Earth people look to money things to get what they want but in Eternity there won’t be any money and no scripture promises rewards for what you get here so what is their long term goal?

Rom 8:37

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
NIV

Sin has no bearing on those in Christ:
Rom 8:3-4
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
NIV

Rom 5:6-8

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NIV

I‘m covered:
Rom 4:5
5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
NIV

I wrote this:

As I have been thinking, children have come to my mind. They first are children who learn a lot in school then they become adults who will live out what they have learned. So the best time to teach them about God is when they’re children. Any time is good to teach anyone but the best time is when they’re children. There are things that they will learn from schools and even from Churches let alone from adults that are not scriptural and our job is to teach them the truth!

They won’t learn about God from education though. God knowledge doesn’t make money and it’s very individual and does not sell like other things do. And God while allowed in America it is not a popular topic like sports, cars or homes.



There is a ‘thing’ to make more money where people exhibit something that they have learned from others and people respect that and pay money for it, thus it is just another way to make money.

But the advantage that children have and adults don’t is that everything is new to them. So God, their creator, their future, etc. is REAL to them as it should be but other things eventually take presedence. And our job is to keep other things from taking precedence over God.

In the Bible Isaiah speaks of the worthlessness of Royalty but this world won’t teach that. And that is where we can make a difference in their lives and for their future…eternally for sure.



Teaching them that they were created by God and that He formed them in their mothers womb and wrote down ALL the days of their life before they were born in His book and how they eventually will be was designed by God tells them that they were planned for and not just a surprise!

So to approach life trying to become something ‘better’ than they began just means that God didn’t know what He was doing which you know is not true and so should they!

ALL OF THE GUESSWORK IS GONE BEFORE THEY START! There are no maybes or possiblys for them just a creator that made them and loves them and has a purpose for them.



And their purpose is to bring Him glory and that’s it! The Bible puts it very clearly but people tend to just look ONLY at other people and our goal is to break that mold.

Cash is NOT king and this world says that it is. Believing that it is king gets the focus on money and off of God. God never comes into any picture because money is KING and IF you believe that God formed you then you HAVE to feel that God neglected to consider money and that money is more powerful than God and that is just not true. God is omnipresent so He knew about your future and He knew about money and He still created you. And Children need to know this.

If cash is not king and God is our desired future, the future of our children and the future of our nation/world is totally screwed up!

This is not a popular position to take but the position of believing a truth or a lie must be taken and IF you and your children desire a future with God then you and your children have to believe the truth. God is
KING.

Your future and the future of your children is now set! No more spending money just to make money! But no one will agree with this or you but you can read it clearly in the Bible. Did you know that you were putting your kids into a losing position? It was a losing position for you and now you will put your children into a losing position too! To be what? Losers without God? Or would you prefer winners with God?

When God was born and lived with us did He make something better of Himself? NO! And not only was He not valued, He was killed! So what are you trying for?

After writing this morning it is obvious to me that we have been told lies!

This world makes you feel like you are worth a very small price unless you make something of yourself but did God view you that way when He came? YOU weren’t even born yet!

This world makes you feel like you are worth a very small price unless you make something of yourself but did God view you that way when He came? YOU weren’t even born yet!

As humans our ideas of ‘mistakes’ are not the same as God’s. To be crucified meant you had made incredible mistakes that could be forgiven no other way and God was crucified but He made no mistakes.

To count my gains as losses as compared to the glory of knowing my lord is what I truly feel. Now I wonder who else can truly say that?

There is a HUGE difference in what mankind wants (what is legal and what is expected) and what God says.

When you are battling humans it’s most likely a human thing but when what you’re battling is in God’s word then let it win.

Opinions are ONLY what you as a human feels and many, many opinions are directed to what humans like. But God isn’t human so His feelings are more important.

The LAW showed to us the difference between physical actions and the heart. Under the LAW the actions did not display what was true to the heart.

Righteousness is shown by faith and since faith without words in dead faith is not just something that you believe in it’s how you live. Be righteous!

‘how you’re doing’ is a difficult thing to hear and how humans view you has nothing to do with how God views you. To humans the better you’re doing the better you are but God’s not human.

The words ‘well done’ don’t mean the same thing to God as they do to this world.

What I’m experiencing right now is very similar to when I came out of my coma. Things are not the way I think that they should be-in fact they may be worse. But I’m alive!

To exist in this World I have to be like this World which is fine for now but it won’t get me through tomorrow.

On the commercial on TV is says: “My name is: (individual’s name) and I am (company name) so based on that I tried to talk to a repair man about a billing problem and I was told: you have to call a different department. That clearly means you are not (the company name) and you’re making it my problem that I have to take care of.

Isa 56:4-5

4 For GOD says:

"To the mutilated who choose what delights me and keep a firm grip on my covenant, 5 I'll provide them an honored place in my family and within my city,
even more honored than that of sons and daughters.
I'll confer permanent honors on them
that will never be revoked.

This is clearly disabled people! The fact that they are even called: disabled is wrong.
And make sure no physically mutilated person
is ever made to think, 'I'm damaged goods.
I don't really belong.'"

I feel that the Bible is my guide to life. My owners manual.

When I think back on my life there were many very wonderful things that I experienced so it is obvious that God was with me.

Even among the children of Israel bad things happened. Among God’s people! They were not alone but they were living in this world and everyone had to make a choice.

…and the winner gets… Competition determines who is the best, however with God everyone’s “the best” so there’s no need for a competition!

I am listening to some good Christian music today and it sounds very good. I was just beginning to wish that I could sing like them and I thought that God is probably just as happy with the songs in my heart as He is with their recordings and I felt much better.

When God first created human beings He lived where they could see Him, since then we can’t see Him but He is still there but do we realize that He’s there?

When I read this I sent it to my son:
Isa 47:2
2 Get a job , any old job:
Clean gutters, scrub toilets

I see this as care for the disabled:
Isaiah 42:16
16 But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them — sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."

NOTHING IS FREE. Even our freedom with God cost more than He could budget or afford-it cost Jesus His very life! CASH was not king because it cost more than money and now it costs us the same thing.

As humans we always choose gods. Cash is KING! When the God who created us all is right there.

The Old Testament refers to gods in the households which were simple to describe because they were man made images but now they are still the same but they don’t look the same.

Using the things of this world we are able to put off God as demonstrated by Samson but as humans we’ve learned nothing.

The most difficult thing that I see is that people aren’t happy being normal people and that’s why we have competitions and other things. But why then was it sufficient for God?

This morning in Sunday school we talked about how intense it was for God to come here and give it all up to be born as a normal man.

Things are far too important to us:
Judges 13:17-18

17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"

18 He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding.
NIV

Over and over the Bible says: and the children of Israel did what did not please the Lord.
