2023 Volume 32 Issue 02 “Battles For All Christians”

We’ve spoken to many Christians from different denominations and churches and it seems as though all Children that are on fire for Christ are in battles.  We should realize that when we’re in a great fight, that’s when we truly have to call on the Lord and trust Him for help.  God allows His Children to be tried and tested to see how we will react to tough situations.  He wants to know if we will attempt to handle it or if we will seek help from Him.  Over the years, we’ve had several conversations with different individuals and we discussed the valleys we, each, have to go through.  It’s when you’re in the deepest valley that you’re able to see the high mountain that’s before you.  Jesus tells us in His Word to, “Speak to the Mountain,” not for us to try to move it, go around it or climb it, just to speak to it.  He will cause that hindrance or problem, in your life, to go.  God wants us to know His Word and then be obedient and follow His instructions.  This will always lead to victory, because His Word will lead us to fully trust in Him.   †

Meeting The Master

All of us, “Christians,” speak of meeting Jesus, but what do we understand about that meeting?  What do you actually know about the most important meeting you will ever encounter?  What will Jesus say unto you and what will you reply?  Have you studied God’s Word to better understand what will happen that day?  These are questions you need to ask yourself and you truly need to answer them according to God’s Word.  We all, “Hope,” we know what will be said and we all feel that things will go well.  We’re trying to encourage everyone, that claims to be a Christian, to really study their Bible and know what it says about this matter.  Keep us in your prayers as we attempt to expand into new territory with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We trust God to deal with the hearts of His Children to help us win the souls of those whom He calls.  †

Where Do You Stand With God?

Recess is over.  It’s time to return to the true basics of Christianity.  We have far to many, so called, “Christians,” playing games with life.  We’re afraid many are following the lead of their Pastors.  We must remember, God is watching and He’s keeping a record of our daily living.  He knows every dollar you get and it doesn’t make a bit of difference if you worked for it or if someone gave it to you.  You still have to give God His portion, which is ten percent.  It’s His and the Bible clearly tells us that, if you take that ten percent, you are robbing God and you will be cursed with a curse. (Malachi 3:9)  Paying Tithes was practiced before the law in Genesis, 14:20 and 28:22.  We are also commanded under grace in The New Testament in, (Matthew 23:23; Romans 2:22; I Corinthians 9:7-14; 16:2; Galatians 6:6 and Hebrews 7:1-10.)  The Bible also teaches us that, if we use God’s Tithes for our own personal use, we must pay 20% interest.  That’s right, we have to add 20% or one fifth part to God’s tithes for using them.  What most fail to understand is, the Tithe is not ours to spend or use.  It belongs to God and He will get it one way or another.  Our congregation was told not long ago, “You will not get to enjoy using one single penny of God’s money and there’s NO bill more important than your Tithe Bill.  Not your electric bill, house payment, car payment, insurance and not even your grocery bill is more important than paying God.  He is your provider.  Read and study II Corinthians 9:6-15.  Pay special attention to verses 8-10.  God is the one that keeps food on your table and gives you the strength to work your job.  He can take everything away from you, if you steal from Him.  Let’s not talk about money, but let’s talk about obedience.  As we stated earlier, God knows all.  You can fool your neighbors and your friends.  You can fool your preacher and your spouse, but you cannot fool God.  What you think is hid will be revealed.  Get things right with God now, while there is time.  Jesus will forgive you of your sins the moment you repent, from the heart and God knows if you’re sincere.  Remember, you cannot fool God.  Get your life right with your Creator right now and everything else will fall into place.  There’s some one reading this letter, that’s playing games with God and He’s using us to warn you, that your time is running out.  Repent Now! †

Your New Beginning

We know it’s the last days and the Lord wants us to be about our Heavenly Father’s business.  It’s time for us to start our new beginning.  It’s very easy for each of us to say, “I’ve already started.”  Sure you are doing things for God, but you know as well as we do, we all can do much more.  God has given all of us a new beginning and is watching to see what we do with this new opportunity.  We must always remember, He woke us up this morning and He woke us up with a purpose.  God has given us another day to help our friends, neighbors and even strangers learn of His plan of salvation.  We know people think and probably say, that we’re obsessed with serving our Lord, but we have come to realize that He is the one that gives us life and opportunity, each and everyday, to further the Kingdom of God.  God can take any of us out any day of the week, but He chooses to leave us here for a reason.  We see talented people, everyday, wasting their lives serving flesh and worldly desires.  We know we’re not to judge, but we also know that we’re to warn and encourage.  Today is our new beginning and we truly need to pray and ask God for guidance, He will never allow us to go astray.  We hope you will take us serious and make this year your best ever.  Ask God for help and get what you need.  †
