A Narrow Entrance GATE leads to H E A V E N (John 14:6).

Image
Our Lord Jesus says: “[ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIT GATE]: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; [BECAUSE STRAIT IS THE GATE], and [NARROW IS THE WAY], which [LEADETH UNTO LIFE], and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT]” (Matthew 7:13–14). “[NOT EVERY ONE] that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, [SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). “[IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH]; the flesh profiteth nothing: [THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE]” (John 6:63). “[BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR] the word of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28). “[HE THAT IS OF GOD HEARETH] God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God” (John 8:47). “[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME]: And [I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall n...

GOD gave Man dominion over the earth!

Image
How is it that the Devil, aka Satan get into the detail? “IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And God said, ‘Let us make [MAN] in our image, after our likeness: and [LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE, AND OVER ALL THE EARTH], and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created [MAN] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; [MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM]” (Genesis 1:1, 26-27). “The Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof [THOU SHALT SURELY DIE]” (Genesis 2:16–17). “And the serpent said unto the woman, ‘[YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE]’” (Genesis 3:4). Here is the deception: the “crooked serpent” (Job 26:10), the devil, aka Satan stated correctly to Eve, “Yea, hath God said, ye shall n...

We must worship ONLY the LORD God.

“IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” Genesis 1:1). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5).   “The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). “I AM the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:2–3). “[THOU ART MY GOD, AND I WILL PRAISE THEE: THOU ART MY GOD, I WILL EXALT THEE]. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever” (Psalm 118:27-29).

Come out of the Darkness into the LIGHT!

Image
“[JESUS CHRIST] the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “I am the [LIGHT] of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the [LIGHT OF LIFE]” (John 8:12). “[FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH]; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16). “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the [LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF CHRIST], who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who [COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS], hath shined in our hearts, [TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST]” (2 Corinthians 4:3-6). “And this is the condemnation, that [LIGHT IS COME INTO THE W...

REJOICE this day because it is ‘LIGHT’ FRIDAY!

Image
“[THIS IS THE DAY] which the LORD hath made; [WE WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT]” (Psalm 118:24). Untold numbers of people rejoice for this day, and there is great zest and zeal even euphoria on “Black Friday” to SAVE MONEY and take advantage of huge discounts on items on sale. However, every human being would be wise to have the same zest and zeal even euphoria to seek the only the person who can SAVE SOULS because there is coming a day on this day when it will be the BLACKNESS OF DARKNESS forever (Revelation 11:18)! “Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! To what end is it for you? The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it” (Amos 5:18, 20). On the Last Day, there will be the ONLY PERSON WHO WILL GIVE LIGHT   to escape as emphasized by Jude the “…blackness of darkness…” (Jude 1:13). His name is JESUS, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD (John 3:16-18). On the La...

GOOD FRIDAY versus Black Friday?

Image
Over two thousands years ago, God sent a man from heaven to give his life for a ransom for the human race to redeem them from the darkness in this world (Isaiah 60:1). (Colossians 1:12–13) ; “[TO OPEN THEIR EYES, AND TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT], and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Jesus” (Acts 26:18). “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). Yet today, untold numbers of people would rather line up for the vain things of this world rather than lining up for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE. “[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17). “[AND THE TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE] God winked at; but...

Being THANKFUL or Unthankful to GOD?

Image
Who made the turkey, the stuffing, the gravy, the mash potatoes, the rice, the vegetables, the cranberry sauce, the pumpkin pie, the desserts, the wine, the water and so on? Who made ALL THESE THINGS? G O D; the LORD, the FATHER, the CREATOR! On this day, Thanksgiving Day, if GOD, the FATHER is not being giving THANKS, it is pointedly UNTHANKFULNESS! “FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE” (Exodus 19:5).   “[THE SEA IS HIS, AND HE MADE IT: AND HIS HANDS FORMED THE DRY LAND]. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). “Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. [O GIVE THANKS] unto the LORD; [FOR HE IS GOOD: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER]” (Psalm 118:28-29). “[GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS] unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).

“[GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS] unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20). “Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen” (Romans 15:33). “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Philippians 4:23).

Our FATHER in HEAVEN we thank you for giving us your ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE.

The Apostle Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles explained, said: “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to [PREACH THE GOSPEL]: not with wisdom of words, lest the [CROSS OF CHRIST’ should be made of none effect. For the [PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the [POWER OF GOD]. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of [PREACHING TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:17-21). “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossi...

Our Lord Jesus explains doing the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD (Matthew 5:17-18, 18:23, 19:17, 22:34-40) (Revelation 22:13-14).

Image
W hen our Lord Jesus was here on earth at many points in time the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees doubted that he was the Son of God, and often tried to discredit him. Notably a lawyer came to him asking: ‘Master, which is the great commandment in the law?’ Jesus said unto him, ‘[THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND].’ This is the [FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT]. And the second is like unto it, [THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF]. [ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS]” (Matthew 22:34-40). Our Lord Jesus was very clear when he said: “¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-18). Furthermore, when a young man wanted to know what he must do to inherit eternal life, Jesus...

GOD’s two key PROMISES to human beings: Rainbow and C R O S S.

After Noah and his family came out of the ark after the great flood, God promised that the earth will not perish again by a great flood. God declared to Noah: “[I DO SET MY BOW IN THE CLOUD], and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And [I WILL REMEMBER MY COVENANT], which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and [THE WATERS SHALL NO MORE BECOME A FLOOD TO DESTROY ALL FLESH]” (Genesis 9:13, 15). God promised to to save human beings who believe in his only begotten Son before heaven and earth perishes by fire on the Last Day. “[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17). “[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS]; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Cori...

“I LOVE GOD AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS”

Image
It is unfathomable, unbelievable and unthinkable why ANYONE would not LOVE GOD AND JESUS!!!!! GOD is CREATOR OF ALL THINGS! “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker” (Isaiah 45:5, 9). “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?” (Jeremiah 23:23). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5). “The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). GOD gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to SAVE THE WORLD! “[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever believeth in him sho uld not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but [THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED]” (John 3:16-17). “[I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME]; and those that seek me early shall find me” (Proverbs 8:17). “[FO...

Follow JESUS to ETERNAL LIFE.

Image
“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) is “The Christ of God” (Luke 9:20), the only begotten Son of God (John 3:15-18), says: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not [COME TO ME, THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE]” (John 5:39–40). “[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE]: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

How to OVERCOME this world to get to HEAVEN?

Image
JESUS, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD (John 3:16-18) says: “[NOT EVERY ONE] that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, [SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]; but [HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN]” (Matthew 7:21). “[LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD]” (1 John 2:15). “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). “If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17). “[YE ARE OF GOD, LITTLE CHILDREN, AND HAVE OVERCOME THEM]: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [THEY ARE OF THE WORLD]: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. [WE ARE OF GOD]: he that knoweth God heareth us; he tha...

Today, a few words of comfort to those who are unemployed, in financial distress, lonely, weary, sick, frightened about life circumstances or simply disillusioned about life:   Let us be reminded what Paul, the apostle said: “[PRAY WITHOUT CEASING]” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Many throughout time have doubted and said, in essence, “This is easier said than done.” However, Jesus emphasized, saying: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23–24). “And I say unto you, [ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU]. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Luke 11:9–10). “[AND ALL THINGS, WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YE SHALL RECEIVE. AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN MY NAME, THAT WILL I DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. IF YE SHALL ASK ANY THING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT” ...

We must PRAY DAILY to our FATHER in HEAVEN.

Image
Our Lord Jesus, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD says: “[WHEN YE PRAY, USE NOT VAIN REPETITIONS, AS THE HEATHEN DO[: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: [FOR YOUR FATHER KNOWETH WHAT THINGS YE HAVE NEED OF, BEFORE YE ASK HIM]” (Matthew 6:7-8). “[AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE]: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. [GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD]. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matthew 6:9-13).

Preaching of the CROSS or Prosperity Preaching?

Image
“NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and [DOCTRINES OF DEVILS]. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:1-2). Our Lord Jesus says: “[BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS], which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM]” (Matthew 7:15-16, 20). “[NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS]: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. [YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON]” (Luke 16:13). “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, ‘[VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]’. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kin...

GOD and HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON are the ONLY ONES WITH the POWER to give HUMAN BEINGS EVERLASTING LIFE.

Image
“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God” (Psalm 62:11). “[FOR AS THE FATHER HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF]; so hath [HE GIVEN TO THE SON TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF]; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man” (John 5:26–27). “[THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HAND]. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:35-36). “[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16). “[FOR AS THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN SO THE SON QUICKENETH WHOM HE WILL]. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Fath...

Doctrine of CHRIST (Hebrews 6:1-7) or church doctrines?

Image
Too much time is wasted debating, dissenting and disputing the word of God instead of building the house of God, “Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” (2 Timothy 1:9). Notwithstanding the proliferation of religions and church denominations, there is only one building of the Kingdom of God through the Holy Spirit, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom all the building fitly framed together to grow to the end of time unto a holy temple in the Lord (Ephesians 2:20–22). At the end of time, it is not a specific religion or church denomination as it is the doctrines of many that will be redeemed from this earth. We are to beware of adhering to the doctrines of men; we should obtain knowledge of and obey the word of God. Jesus warned of this very fact when he sen...

GOD is GREATLY TO BE PRAISED for given HUMAN BEINGS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to inherit ETERNAL LIFE (John 3:15-18).

Image
“GIVE unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness” (Pslam 29:1-2). “Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him” (Psalm 33:8). “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” (psalm 33:12). “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” (Psalm 31:19). “Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever” (Psalm 28:9). “Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20). “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4). “For ...

GOD has commanded EVERY HUMAN BEING to come back to him to be ‘FIXED’ because ALL are ‘BROKEN’ (John 3:16) (Acts 17:30-31).

Image
When our smart phone, tablet, laptop, vehicle or any other device we have is BROKEN, we know to go back to the manufacturer or place of purchase to get it FIXED. Well, if we know do these EARTHY THINGS, then we must know do do as requested HEAVENLY THINGS. Now, how is it that EVERY HUMAN BEING is BROKEN and must be ‘FIXED’? We are ALL ‘BROKEN’ because the first two human beings created SINNED against GOD, the CREATOR, and were condemned to DEATH (Genesis 3:2-7). “[DEATH] reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come” (Romans 5:14). However, God sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON from HEAVEN to earth to ALL ‘BROKEN’ HUMAN BEINGS to be ‘FIXED’. “[FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL]” (1 John 3:8–9). “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). 1“[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by ma...

When will we know we are in the END OF YEARS?

Image
JESUS tells us that ONLY God knows the DAY and the HOUR of HIS COMING at the END OF THE WORLD (Matthew 24:1-3, 24:36). However, Jesus provided much detail of the events that will be taking place to know that it is the END OF YEARS (Daniel 8:13-14, 26). Our Lord JESUS gave us the SIGN OF THE TIME when the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, SON OF PERDITION, the devil, aka Satan, that MAN OF SIN will be revealed when he said: “When [YE SHALL SEE] the [ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION], spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains” (Mark 13:14). “And when [YE SHALL SEE] Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand; then look up, and [LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION] draweth nigh” (Luke 21:20, 31, 28). “[NOW LEARN A PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE]...
