Angels Bring Messages

That THE LORD works in mysterious ways, IS NO hidden secret… Many accounts have been given of “Miracles”, testimonies of God’s Power, TO: restore fleshly health; bring soldiers out of a gun battle unscathed; hold a person in HIS HAND through a car wreak; or a storm, even bring them back from to life from a flat-line heartbeat, BUT! How does that affect the way that we view ~our~ obedience to HIS Will & Way?
When ~we~ get into trouble we cry out to The LORD and to all around us TO, *Pray*, for God’s mercy upon us to deliver us from our pain and suffering… BUT, when we are delivered, who are we ~Thankful TO~? Who do we give the credit for our health, welfare, our very life TO? … The ~president~ of the nation, doctors, our buddies in uniform, the Generals in the armies, the auto makers for making such safe vehicles, the medics that worked so hard to bring us back from death’s door? Who do we lift up and memorialize? Are we just ~lucky~ to be alive?
There was a man who held the position of, Deacon and Youth Leader in his Church… He was popular in the community, praised for doing such wonderful work with the youth, he kept them off of the streets, by providing them with entertainment at the Church Youth Center… The teens played basket ball on Wednesday night while the old folks had prayer meeting… The little ones played other games.. He kept their agenda crammed full of events to raise money, entertain parties, games, cookouts, not a minute of their time was ~wasted~ on *Foolishness*…Nor did he bore them by making them sit and listen to the reading of the Bible which is hard to understand at the least… but he thought to teach them goodness through games, to work together, be fair in play, the things that count as a good person…
(I Corinthians 1:18)…the ~preaching of the cross~ IS to them that perish foolishness; BUT, unto us that are saved ~IT IS~ the Power of God.
(Proverbs 24:9)… The ~thought~ of foolishness IS sin… (Sometimes we let our youth decide that to sit in The Sanctuary and listen and learn is ~boring~ so se give them something else to do, after all they are at Church, SO that IS what counts right? Read a little deeper.. The preaching of the cross, boring? Playing games fun? Think about IT as you read.)
One Sunday Morning the Sanctuary was packed with worshipers, the singing had started, and two old ladies came in late.. They sat in the vestibule because all the seats were full, the Church was successful because *IT* had the walls packed with ~Numbers~ on Sunday Morning to hear the message given…
Since the ladies were apparently visitors and had not been present before, the well-dressed, well-mannered and popular Youth Leader, also a respected deacon of the Church, promptly got up from his seat, gathered two tarnished brass plates, placed a note paper and a stubby pencil on them and quietly passed them out to the two old ladies with the whispered instruction, “welcome to the service, please fill out your name, address, and phone number, so we can reach you later, and leave them on the table there,” and returned to his seat. One of the ladies, got up placed the plate on the table and walked out.. So the other followed…..
The devout deacon ran after them but they were gone out of sight by the time he reached the door.
The next Sunday they returned with an *Award* that the LORD had sent to be given to the, hard working deacon/youth leader, for *ALL* that he had accomplished with the youth of the Church… They handed him a rather large piece of sorta crumpled paper like the tan meat wrapping butchers paper… He was pleased that they had thought he was such a great person as to deserve a reward for his work with the youth of the Church… A puzzled look came over his face as he felt the paper, remarking, “it is very light feeling, I can’t imagine a plaque of reward being that light.”.. As he gently pulled the papers apart and looked to his surprise that was all there was, just an empty crumpled piece of paper…. “What, kind of joke is this?” the man said to the two old ladies.. “There is nothing in here *IT IS Empty*,” the man retorted in a rather annoyed voice….
The one lady answered, with a question, “Aren’t you the, Youth Leader?” “Yes”, replied the man.. “Well, we only delivered what THE LORD, gave us to bring to you, nothing more, nothing less.” Then the lady set him aback with her explanation of the award.. Saying, “maybe our LORD, gave you an empty award, because the work that you do before HIM, FOR HIM, and OF HIM, IS only an empty work. IT brings no spiritual learning, guidance, understanding of the knowledge necessary for training young people to serve God in *HIS* Will and Way. Because in playing games all that is taught is the rules of the game, how to win, who to shove out of the way, so that you can be number one. God sent HIS Son TO Teach: *LOVE*, TO Teach the message of HIS Kingdom TO ALL, that ALL may learn of IT and of HIM, and on Wednesday night while the old folks are gathered to learn of the Written Word of God, *IF*, the youth are not allowed to study with the older folks, which they should be, why, as their leader, did you not have them polishing the brass plates, and going about the work of THE LORD, maintaining HIS House of Worship, with a humble study in obedience, instead of playing games invented by men of the world at The House set aside for The Worship of our LORD? For That *IS* a part of the work of The LORD, learning to maintain HIS House of Worship, in a manner pleasing unto God… IS The blessings that HE brings to you, tarnished like the old brass plates, that you use in your services?”
The two ladies turned and left the Church… once more leaving the youth leader staring at empty space, but this time he was thinking, seriously thinking, about the message that the LORD had sent to him in a piece of crumpled empty paper…
What does your work hold in value to the LORD? IS IT lost in the tracks of the world, led by the adversary of our Maker? Is *IT* so tarnished by the customs, traditions on the world, that any attempt to show God’s Love in IT IS lost to fleshly mire? OR, being led BY The Holy Spirit, does IT lead others to the True Kingdom of God, Reveal the LOVE OF our Heavenly Father, through HIS Son, Jesus Christ?
(Romans 16:25-27)…To HIM that IS OF Power to stablish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according TO the Revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, BUT Now IS made manifest, and BY The Scriptures of the prophets, according TO the Commandment OF THE Everlasting God, made known to ~~ALL~~ nations FOR the ~obedience of faith~: TO God ONLY Wise, be Glory through Jesus Christ for ever….

Christ IN Christmas

Folks get their panties in a wad about taking: Christ, out of ~Christmas~… Want to protest, fight about it, well, do you really think that THE Christ, The Son of THE Living God, was ever ~~IN~~ “The Christmas Celebration”, as we know *IT*?
Do you really believe That: God the Father approves of people using the Blessed Name of HIS Only Begotten Son, for the purpose of: Commercialism? Supporting pagan customs? The purpose of: drunken parties?
The claim that this IS Christ Birthday, starts off with an air of falsehood because The true date is really not known. The celebration of the memorial of His birth on this earth, is marred further because IT pales in the traditions, fabled tales, lies implemented, by Satan the devil and instilled into the Blessed Remembrance of The Very One Who came to take on the fleshly body of man, live here on this earth, suffer all the pains of man, for what? So that man could smear His Blessed Name, with fabled tales, traditions of men, laced in with pagan customs, THAT: God The Father HAS SAID, Throughout The Bible, “Leave IT Alone”?
Doesn’t this very action, prove an abomination to THE LORD, rather than a “Praise of Thank YOU, For sending Your Son, to save our souls from eternal destruction?
*IF*, ~Christmas~ which really means: the masses of Christ, was used as the word implies, wouldn’t we who are true followers of Christ, join together in praise of God the Father, sing songs of praise, give prayers of thanks, and declare the Gospel of HIS Dear Son, ~ALL~ year long… rather than one day a year, go all out in the ways of the world as a sorta mockery of Christ Birth… “From the Cradle TO The Grave”, a song that depicts the, Birth, Life, and the Sacrifice, of our Savior, IS a compact story of what we should be remembering, instead of the way Christmas IS celebrated….
IT IS Strange though that the very ones that demand that Christ be kept in this man made celebration, are the very ones that promote, the mythical tales of the magic of the Santa Clause, and tales of wonder that is brought about by the season, rather than proclaiming THE POWER OF God ALMIGHTY AS THE ONE Through Whom ~~ALL~~ Blessings flow……
IF this seems like a harsh, statement, Read The Bible… Where do you find Jesus promoting, involving Himself IN; Commercialism, fairy tales, pagan myths, celebrations of pagan cultures or traditions of men? Think About IT!
DOES THE WRITTEN ACCOUNT IN THE BIBLE, contain the witness of folks running around shouting that, “This Blessed Event IS Bringing Forth A Miracle of Santa’s Season?”
Does The Bible teach us to put the world ahead of God, OR mix IT IN With HIS Gospel OF HIS Son, and This makes HIM Happy, because IT Makes us happy? So ALL IS Kosher, (ritually pure)? What lessons can we learn for the ancients doing this? READ:
(II Kings 17:22).. FOR the children of Israel (Gods people) walked in ~ALL~ the +sins+ OF Jeroboam, which he did: they departed not from them…(They embraced the ways of the world, set forth in/and by the nations leader as do God’s people today, the only thing that God’s people seen rise up in protest over, is higher taxes, taking God’s Name off of Caesars coins, the government taking away public prayer, before man, but in the customs of pagan celebration, they embrace IT whole heartedly) (v.33) ..They feared THE LORD, and served ~their OWN gods~, after the manner of ~The Nations~ whom they carried away…(do we hear preached fear the LORD God and serve HIM Only? OR Jesus Loves you no matter what you do?) (v.34).. Unto this day they do after their former manners: They ~Fear NOT~ THE LORD, neither do they after the statutes, ordinances, law, and Commandments which THE LORD Commanded of the children of Jacob… (35) With whom the LORD made A Covenant, and charged them saying, “Ye shall NOT fear and bow yourselves down to ~other gods~, ~NOR Serve them~… (V.41)… SOOOooo… These ~Nations~ feared THE LORD, &AND& served ~their graven *images*~, both their children…AS they DO unto ~~THIS DAY~~…
The sought to ~have their cake and eat IT Too~, just as so many today so
Folks declare this to be ~~The Old Covenant~~ so IT IS null and void… BUT IT IS Made clear in (V.37), here and many other places THAT THIS IS Gods Perpetual Command… AS HE SAID: “AND the ~Statutes, ordinances, law, and Commandment, WHICH HE Wrote for ~~YOU~~.. Ye shall Observe TO DO *Forevermore*: AND ye shall not fear other gods…. AND… to fear means among other things, TO reverence, show respect, acknowledge.. SO when we take part in a man made ritual that IS Make believe, but points to a form of false worship, we are keeping company with, and respecting the gods of paganism….
Does the Bible ~~Show PROOF~ that this pleases God?
Although Through and IN Jesus we are under ~A NEW Covenant~ so far as THE Priesthood IS NOW IN Him, we are Still to Observe The Commandants and Statutes of God The Father IN Keeping ourselves from The False teachings of and the ways of the world… we are to be holy AS HE IS Holy… Not running about committing one abomination after the other because we are no longer under the ~old Covenant of animal sacrifice~…
(I Peter 1:14).. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves ~after~ your former lusts in your ~ignorance~,, (v.16) Because *IT IS Written,* “BE ye Holy; FOR I AM HOLY!” (v.18) For as much as ye know that you were NOT redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received By The ~Traditions from your fathers…”
So the tinsel on the trees, the bright lights, the almighty dollars, coinage that carries the face of the leaders of this nation IS NOT IN The Interest or the hearts OF The ~True Masses of Christ~… But IT IS AS IT Should be the interest of the hearts of God’s children TO Serve The Almighty in faith, faithfully lifting up the truths of God’s Written Word in ALL walks of their life here on this earth, their journey from the ~cradle to the grave~ in the path that Jesus Christ the Son of THE Almighty God set forth for us to follow…
IT IS about our conduct exampling our ~faith~ in our Maker, and HIS Son, Jesus Christ… AND we still should have a desire to ~~Please~ God, not oppose HIM in any way, by attempting to ~look good~ to the world by mixing the Blessed Name of HIS Only Begotten Son in With the pagan customs and rituals that were carried on ages before CHRIST was born on this earth..
IF we the people that call ourselves After This Precious Name, would set aside a day to remember The Birth of Christ, Or a Day To Remember His Resurrection freeing us from the burden of mans sin, why on earth would we want to mix in the dredges of mans old sinful ways into IT and call IT After His Holy Name?
LET *Christmas*, truly be the masses of Christ gathering together TO celebrate a memorial of The Birth of God’s Son, Jesus Christ on this earth, honoring Him as IT IS Written that they did on That very blessed Day… With joyful singing, recounting the blessed event in the telling of the story again… and the same with the Resurrection… let IT BE, for Christ, by Christ, and OF Christ, to the glory of the Father, not to the Shame of The Father because we have mixed in the tales of the pagan traditions of men, the commercialism of a lost and dying money grubbing world of get rich off of Christ folks… This is not the nature of giving… This IS NOT charity, this is dog eat dog demonic passion of rebellion….
AND since the world views “Christmas” as a pagan holiday, due to the abominations that man mostly those that call themselves after this blessed Name have mixed in with IT.. I must say take the Name of Christ out of this celebration and make IT like all the others that the world enjoys making money off of… Days named after men of flesh, and days that celebrate the flesh..
This year IF you would be a true servant of God, ~give The Gift~ of The Truth of The Gospel OF Christ… Not the gift of a fairy tale fabled celebration of mankind led by the adversary of Christ….

Worship WHO

Worship WHO? .. Praise WHO? .. Jesus, The Word of God Said:
(Revelation 19:10)… “I am thy fellow servant , and of thy brethren that ~have the testimony~ OF Jesus: “Worship God”::::: For The Testimony OF Jesus IS The Spirit of Prophesy”..
(Matthew 21: 9-11)… the multitude said, “This IS Jesus, The ~Prophet~ of Nazareth of Galilee.” And Again Jesus Said OF Himself:
(Luke 13: 33) .. “Nevertheless, I ~Must~ walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: FOR *IT* Cannot Be that A Prophet perish out of Jerusalem.”
(John 7:40).. Many of the people therefore when they heard this saying, said, “Of a truth this *IS* The Prophet…. AND Paul Wrote:
(Acts 3:22) .. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, “A ~Prophet~ Shall THE LORD your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him Shall ye hear in ~ALL~ things whatsoever He shall say unto you… (23).. And IT Shall Come To pass, that soul (person), which will not hear that ~Prophet~, shall be destroyed from among the people… (26) .. Unto you first, God having raised up HIS Son Jesus, sent Him To bless you….
(John 1:1) .. IN The Beginning WAS ~The Word~ and The Word Was with God, and The Word was God…
This one verse of scripture has been such a controversial topic for many folk, confusing and bringing about arguments and even anger… some even changing the verse to read: The Word Was ~A~ God.. To satisfy a religious belief… BUT IT IS AS IT IS Written… AND *IF* you read: study: from Genesis to Revelation, with OR without (I John 5:7), .. The many verses in between, IT IS Clear that there are Three and IT IS Clear Also what their specific actions, although through and in ONE Accord, ARE…
(Genesis 1:1) God Created … (v.2).. AND The Spirit OF God Moved… (v.26).. God Said: “Let US make man IN ~OUR~ Image”. and The ~Word~ Spoke…
(Job 33:4) .. The ~Spirit~ of God hath made me and the ~Breath~ OF The Almighty hath given me life…
(Ecclesiastes 12: 7) Then shall the ~dust~ return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it…
(Ephesians 3:9) … ~To make ALL men see~ what IS The Fellowship of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been ~hid~ in *God*, WHO Created ~ALL~ things BY Jesus Christ….
(John 14: 16) … Jesus Speaking Said: “ *I* Will pray The Father, and HE Shall Give you ~~ANOTHER~~ Comforter that He May abide with you forever; Even The Spirit OF Truth; Whom The -World- ~~Cannot receive~~ because It seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him; but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you and shall be in you…. (Jesus again Spoke of: -- not Himself as being The Father, nor as being The Holy Ghost, BUT Jesus Speaking Said: “Another Comforter“.. Giving ~~THREE~~ Individuals operating in Unity, Together, AS ONE In Accord..) And Paul Wrote:
(Ephesians 4:6).. One God and Father OF ~ALL~, WHO IS Above, and through , and in you ~ALL~… And Jesus, The Word, Spoke OF The Holy Ghost:
(John 14:26) .. The ~Comforter~ Which *IS* The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father ~Will Send~ In My Name, He shall ~~Teach~~ you all things, and bring to remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you…. (Three Individuals Referenced Here ALSO)//// AS Well as (Matthew 28: 19-20) God The Almighty Father Whose Name Alone IS: Jehovah Sends --- Jesus Christ, The Word, Obeys and Performs, Caries OUT The Action --- The Holy Ghost, Comforter, Spirit, Testifies, Teaches, Leads ….
(John 6:44) … AS Jesus Said, IN Many Places, “No man can come to Me, except The *Father* which ~~SENT~~ Me draw him:” AND (v.45).. Jesus Also SAID: “ Every man that ~~Hath Heard~~ AND ~~Hath Learned~~ OF: The Father, cometh unto Me.”
(Think that we don’t need to preach the Gospel, teaching OF: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost?) (Think that we are supposed to just skip through this life with our heads in the clouds, telling everyone that we are saved and this frees us to ~DO Nothing~?)
(John 14: 23-26)… Jesus SAID: “IF a man love Me he will keep My Words and My Father Will Love him, and ~WE~ will come and make our abode with him… the word which ye hear IS NOT Mine, but The Fathers, Which ~~Sent~~ Me… BUT the Comforter, Which IS The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father ~~Will Send~~ in My Name, He will teach you ~~ALL~~ things, and bring ~~ALL~~ things to your remembrance , whatever I have SAID.”
Jesus Still Speaking, referring TO ALL Three Entities, Actions, Positions, BY Name of Title…
So we ~~ARE~~ not only TO Hear, Pay Attention To, Keep, and Obey Gods Commandments, HIS Words, Brought to our ears By HIS Son, Jesus, as The Comforter OR Spirit Leads US TO Obey The Fathers Word, But we ARE Also Under Direct Order TO: ~~Deliver~~ These Words of Command TO ~~ALL~~ nations and peoples… Baptizing them in the Name OF: (Matthew 28:19-20)
So where we would not go out and protest with the world against the governments of the world … we would/should/AND ARE Commissioned TO Deliver The Message OF The Gospel TO ALL… AND IF WE ARE Led to walk among them to warn them of this, we will be protected By God, But IF we just jump in and take part to prove our loyalty to a people of the world, God AS IT IS Written WILL Turn us over to a reprobate mind…. (Romans 1:28) & (II Corinthian 6: 14-18 & 7: 1-2) (Philippians 2:12) (John 8:12) …
(Luke 12:23)… Jesus Said: “The ~life~ IS More than meat, and the body IS More than raiment .. (29).. Neither be ye of doubtful mind.. (30).. For ALL These Things do the ~nations of the world~ seek after: AND your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things, (30) But rather ~Seek~ ye the Kingdom OF God… (34).. For where your treasure IS, there will your heart be also… .
(I Corinthians 10: 9) .. Neither let us ~Tempt~ Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of the serpents.. (10) neither ~~Murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer, (11).. ~ALL~ these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they, *ARE Written* for our admonition, .. (21).. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of The Lord’s Table, and the table of devils.. (22) .. Do we ~Provoke~ The Lord TO Jealousy? Are we stronger than HE?
(I John 2:15) .. Love Not the world, neither the things that are in the world, IF any man loveth the world, the ~Love~ of the Father IS not in him… (16) .. ~ALL~ that IS In The world ..IS Not of The Father…(17) .. AND The world passeth away, but he that doeth the Will of God Abideth forever…
(Luke 4:5) .. The devil showed Him (Jesus) all the kingdoms of the world, saying, (6) ..“All This ~power~ will I give Thee, .. for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give IT.”
(Ephesians 6:11) Put on the ~Whole~ Armour of God…
(I Timothy 6:10).. For The ~Love of Money~ IS the root of ~ALL~ Evil: Which while some coveted after, they have erred from the ~~Faith~~… (11) But O man of God ~~Flee~ these things.. (12)… Fight The *Good fight* OF ~Faith~, lay hold on eternal life, ~~Whereunto~ thou art *Called*, and has professed a ~good profession~ before witnesses….
IF we are baptized as a witness before the world and call ourselves Christians after The Son of God, we must adhere to Gods Word… Written, and Spoken by the Spirit to our conscious…. AND Be that Witness unto ~~ALL~~ peoples. The Spirit, nor The Son of God Jesus Christ, does not lead us to walk against the Commandments, Statutes, OR teachings OF God The Father… But to ~Stand~ even to the death in agreement with The Teachings of The LORD.
