28) * TESTIMONY : BECKIE COBOS

My Testimony: My After life Experience after dying in an automobile accident on April 4, 1986

25 October 2011,

Prayers
Thank You Father for answering my prayers from last night. You are a mighty God and Awesome in all You do. I prayed Lord for the babies, children, women, elderly, disabled, handicapped, terminally ill in the Turkey earthquake. You heard and You answered. You let them find the 2wk old baby, it's mother and the grandmother from the Turkey earthquake. Hallelujah to Your Holy name! Let them survive and be living testimonies to You and Your great mercies and love for all Your children around the world. Lord God receive all the Praise and Glory! They give it to those who found them. I just ask Your blessing upon all the rescue and medical aid workers at the scene of the earthquake and in the hospitals. You are our Great Physician, Have Your perfect way in all of this. I know in the end You will turn it all around for Your glory and divine purpose under heaven.

Thank You heavenly Father for not giving up on me and my family. I know they're starting to come around. Continue to draw them in Lord God. You are awesome and nothing is impossible for You. Be glorified in this.

Your ways are not our ways Lord, how wrong so many have always been. Thank You for revealing Your ways to me. Finally I see through a gradual process how You've always been there for me in my life and just how different our ways are compared to yours. It's an obvious conclusion. You Lord are our Lord and our God and You Lord are Lord of ALL!

Help us to reach the lost, give us the right words at the right time to reach that one person standing before us who can't see Your light. Let Your light so we shine through us and let us always be a reflection of Your love and great mercy. May we always have compassion toward one another and toward those suffering around the world.

Technology is booming Lord! It's astounding what man has developed. You said these things would occur in the last days and we who know You, know nothing was created by man that You yourself did not create. Everything comes from and belongs to You Lord. You're amazing! We thank You for all You've given us to make life more accomodating but let us not be deceived by slothfulness. Keep us grounded firmly in the foundation You established for us. May our feet never wander from the straight and narrow through the deception of technology.

This is Your special day Lord made by You, thank You for letting me be a part of it. May I bring You glory in all I put my hands to. Renew our minds today, refresh our bodies, restore our joy, revive our spirits and replenish our energy. Bless this Your Church wall as we unite in prayer for one another and various causes around the world. Protect all Your missionaries as the take the gospel to the famine stricken, disaster stricken, impoverished and wealthy nations of the world. Watch over all Your children and the leaders in America. Cover Israel with a mighty blood hedge of protection and seal it with your Holy Ghost Fire! May every weapon aimed at her be reversed in the Mighty name of Jesus! May all those weapons be null and void and rendered useless. May they self implode and return from whence they came. Protect all the innocent children, bystanders and animals.

Prayers
Lord Jesus, no matter how I really feel in this tired body that feels worn out, run down and exhausted, I choose to lift up Your name. You are the marrow to my bones. The air to my lungs, the water to my soul. Look upon me now and breathe upon me the breath of life. Command these dry, thirsty bones to come to life. Fill me up and revive me. Your word says:

The Valley of Dry Bones
The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”

I thirst Lord, quench me that I may thirst no more. There is nothing this world has offered me that compares with You. I look around me and I see nothing satisfying. Material things mean nothing to me, they fill up space but offer no life. You Lord are the Maker and giver of life. Breathe on me Lord I need You tonight.

Thank You for always knowing what I need and when I need it. You always go before me and after me. My provider, my healer, my friend. All praise is Yours. Never, ever leave me.

Thank You Lord for all my beautiful brothers and sisters in Christ that You have connected me with through this Your church. Who could have a better family. I pray for Your will here and in each and every life. All for Your glory, In Jesus name. Amen.

My Testimony:

My After life Experience after dying in an automobile accident on April 4, 1986
(Due to length exceeding Facebooks 10,000 character limit. I will have to post it separate parts.) I apologize for this in advance This is my first time writing it out so it will be difficult to condense)

Part 1:

Intro:

Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ who reigns from heaven over all the earth! His love endures forever! He is True and Faithful! Lord Jesus I give You all the Glory, Honor and Praise! I lift up my hands and rejoice singing Glory to Your name! Hallelujah! The devil is defeated! He is a Liar and a counterfeit! He is beneath the lowest points on earth and his time is short! Praise the Lord our God! For all Glory is due Him alone in the highest!

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ Universal Salvation Church for allowing me to be part of such an elite group of believers. Thank you Sally for your kind love, patience and understanding during this huge undertaking on my part. May the Lord Jesus Christ always richly bless you. You are a true woman of God.

The following is my testimony of how I died in an auto accident and stood before Jesus Christ.

Background:

My Mother was born into a strict Catholic family of 14 children but I was not raised Catholic. One day for some reason she decided to convert to Christianity and was raising her 7 children to attend The First Assembly of God Church. Praise God! The wisest decision of her entire life. Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older he shall not depart from it. (KJV) And that we are doing, one by one they come! Hallelujah!

My Mother suddenly fell ill on January 7, 1974 at the young age of 32. She suffered a major stroke due to reasons beyond her control and became paralyzed from the waist down. She was comatose for 6 weeks. At 9yrs old I found her around 3:30am in her bed hardly breathing. That particular day she would have been declared Mother of the Year 1974 by our local Mayor. Growing up without her wasn't easy for 7 children. Needless to say we quit attending church but that's another testimony.

ACCIDENT:

Just to give you an idea of how I died. Upon descending the mountain lookout the driver was extremely drunk and out of control. He never regained control of the truck and kareened out of control for a very long distance of windy road curves. We rolled several times and the truck as I understand it came to rest in a deep barr ditch on the right side of the road. The tailgate flipped open during the accident and my body rolled into the gap between the tailgate and the truck bed lengthwise.

Example: Though graphic, I think it's imperative to prove how I was in this accident to show how great and merciful our loving God is. Imagine opening a tailgate and the gap you see between the tailgate and the edge of the truck bed is where I rolled into lengthwise, due to being so lean. The tailgate then slammed shut on me and the rear of the truck came to rest in the barr ditch, with the front end up in the air and rear end of the truck buried in the ditch. My head as I understand it was sticking out of the right side of the tailgate somehow and buried 4" in the barr ditch. My neck, I was told was pushed in from the front by the truck about 4 inches. It wasn't until the tow truck was removing the truck that I was located and pronounced Dead at the scene.

Background: At age 18, extremely shy and underweight for my height of 5'8, I took my GED and began attending college, thus, bringing me to reside here. After 3yrs of college I dropped out and met my boyfriend Joseph by accident. He was riding a bicycle and crashed into a telephone pole for not lookng where he was going. After making sure he was okay, he limped his bicycle home. He later returned to invite me to dinner. That's how we met.

Testimony:

Part 2:

On April 6, 1986 at age 25 while out with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends we stopped and I bought some liquer for mixed drinks. Upon arrival to a mountainous location, I needed to go my separate way for a few minutes as did my bofriend. I returned first and not knowing where he was I called to him to hurry back. When I reached the others, I discovered the others had finished off all the alcohol by themselves in just a few minutes or so they said. They were very drunk and boisterous. Upon confronting the driver David about it, because I purchased everything, he became upset and punched me in the face. I began crying and yelling at him that my brother would come beat him up. My boyfriend finally returned and asked why he had struck me. They argued and David and his friend jumped into the truck and sped off kareening down the mountain side leaving Joseph and I stranded. Crying, I told my boyfriend we were lost because I didn't know my way around. He said he would get me home and before we knew it, we heard a loud rumbling, screeching noise. To our surprise it was David returning up the mountainside in reverse! After the dust cleared he said he couldn't leave Joe there and told him to get in. When Joe tried to help me in the truck, David became angry and said "not her! I don't want her in my truck!" Joseph wasn't about to leave me stranded, so he said no thanks, I'm staying with Beckie and so David sped off in a huff again. We began walking, when suddenly David appeared again telling us to get in, but that I had to go in the bed of the truck and for my boyfriend to sit up front. My boyfriend said he'd go in the back with me, so he helped me into the bed of the truck. The truck was already moving before we ever got into the back. Immediately, I knew we were out of control and told my boyfriend we were wrecking. He said we weren't and asked how I knew. I pointed out the negative G-force and the sand spinning in a circular motion mid-air in front of our faces. He then agreed and told me to say a little prayer that it would be alright. I said I didn't know any so he being Catholic cupped his hands in prayer formation around mine and told me to repeat after him. "Hail Mary" (Hail Mary) "Full of Grace," (Full of Grace)...

Next thing I knew, I was standing before a very tall man dressed in a sparkling white robe made much whiter than snow, wtih long wavy white hair much whiter than snow and with a long wooly, wavy beard much whiter than snow. He looked down at me as I was looking around the place. I noticed to my left a great wide area filled with innumerable black shadow looking people.(spirits, souls) To my right were white sparkling shadow people (spirits, souls) gathering to enter through a very narrow and small white door. The white spirit people were excited, talking happily to one another. The whiter than snow, glistening surrounded by light door seemed to only allow a very few people to enter through it at a time as opposed to the wider spanse area that allowed so many black shadow images to gather and fill it. The black images which were to my left seemed to be sad and not so eager to move forward compared to the white images to my right who were rather excited and eager to enter through the narrow white doorway. Inside the narrow white doorway was such glistening, brilliant light!

In my naivety I began to follow the black images thinking they had dark hair so I was to go that way. Immediately, the Tall Man with the robe much whiter than snow and the long wooly white hair, beard and mustache collected me back to Him saying NO! I asked am I do I go to the right then with these others? He said No! You are to stand before Me. I believe He already knew at that point He would be allowing me to return to earth. He's omnipotent after all.

I didn't recognize who He was. It was then I realized I had died and I began to plead for my return to earth for my Mother's sake. I said I can't stay here my Mother needs me! I must go back! He said No, the decision has been made and the decision will not change. I asked, what do You mean the decison has been made and the decision will not change? He again stated. "The decison has been made and the decision will not change. I said, but I have to go back my Mother needs me. Just then, I remembered the prayer my boyfriend told me so I said, "let me talk to Mary, she'll understand!" He said No, she's busy right now and you can't speak with her. I said then let me talk to Jesus! The white robed, wooly haired man in His whiter than snow robe just laughed and smiled at me saying No, He's busy too. I didn't even recognize who He was! Shame isn't it?

Meanwhile, back at the scene of the accident, my boyfriend had been thrown 30 ft across an eastern boundary fenceline (we were heading south at the time of the accident) and the driver went through the windshield and the front passenger blew out his right elbow when it struck the right sideview mirror. Behind us my boyfriends cousin witnessed the entire accident. He said one minute he was behind us saying the driver needed to slow down because we're in the bed of the truck and the next, he was rounding a curve and saw a big cloud of dust and smoke. He said he knew we'd crashed and he could hear our accident over his stereo blasting in his car.

When help arrived they began treating the other three passengers with no knowledge I was even there! The truck rolled several times and landed front side up with the rear of the vehicle partially buried in a deep barr ditch on the right side of the highway. My boyfriend needed to be transported for a serious pelvic injury. His pelvis was at 6 and 12 o'clock instead of 9 and 3. He needed emergency surgery. The driver was transported claiming paralysis and the front passenger refused treatment due to alcohol in his blood. I was told my boyfriend refused to be transported until I was found. No one believed his persistence that I was with them at the time of the accident. They thought he was suffering from trauma due to the accident and only thought I was with him. He insisted if they find my wallet, they would find me.

Turns out a hippy observing the accident had stolen my wallet. He was arrested and the search began for me.

In 1986 we didn't have the Enhanced 911 system in place, so the radio and red phone were the only means of communication. My boyfriends mom was standing by the Emergency entrance where the radio was on the counter and overheard the EMT announce they had found one deceased female in her 20's. Joseph's mother Mary heard the attending physician say "go ahead and administer high flow o2; will confirm upon arrival." She told me she'd never forget those words because she cried knowing she would have to tell her son I died.

My Testimony Part 3

Meanwhile, my reality was I was standing before the Lord asking Him to let me speak to Mary not realizing who He was!! He was our LORD! My Creator! The one who knew me before He formed me in my mother's womb! Could I have been more lost in my earthly existence!? Enroute to the hospital I awoke and recall placing my right hand on my forehead saying, "FROZEN." The EMT, "Scotty" my friend, someone I actually knew and went to college with flew backwards and upwards hitting his head on the ambulance ceiling. He said "WHAT!?" I said "COLD." He jumped on the radio and told them I was ALIVE!! and I could hear the element of shock and surprise on the hospital end of the radio. The doctor said "She has too much oxygen, go ahead and turn it down and Haul/A!" (expletive)

Next thing I know, I'm before our Beautiful LORD! (still not realizing it's Him, exactly) He was looking at me and I began pleading for Him to please let me return to earth for my Mother's sake, for she had no one to care for her. I promised to always be there for her and said I loved her with my whole life and I lay down my life for hers. I said I don't care what You do with me, just please let me go back for her sake and her sake only!

Now I've arrived at the emergency room and I see before me my boyfriends mother Mary. She's in my face telling me to calm down. Her son is in surgery and every time I ask to speak with Mary they go and get her from the operating waiting room. She said every time that they called her to me, thinking I was asking to speak to her, that I would say the same thing every time..."uh, but you're not her." She would answer, " I know that I'm not her but every time you ask to speak to Mary they go and get me from the waiting room." This went on for several more times until suddenly I awoke straddling the x-ray table like I was seated on a horse without a stitch of clothing in complete shame and disbelief. (I'm not trying to be graphic it's just the only way I remember it.) Now Mary, my boyfriends mother was in my face again only this time with a clenched jaw muttering, "I'm trying to tell you something, calm down, you're not wearing any clothes; they're trying to x-ray you but you're not letting them do their job. I have to get back to my son Joe, he's in surgery and you're starting to upset me. I want to be here with you, but he's my son. I burst into tears, apologized telling her to go to him and I passed out cold! I'm crying as I recall that horrible, yet tender moment. My eternity is at stake and I was crying for Mary, my boyfriends mother over her concern for her child.

Now passed out here on earth, I'm again standing before our LORD and Master JESUS CHRIST (still not fully grasping who He IS!) I'm pleading to send me back for my mother's sake. As you can see this went on for some time. Finally, our Precious and most Merciful Savior, Lord, God, Creator and King said, "Okay, you may return to earth but only for your Mother's sake and for your Mother's sake only. Remember, the decision has been made, and the decision will not change." I said Thank You! Thank You! I won't let You down!"

Next thing I knew it was 10:30 the next morning. The accident was recorded at 6:30pm the previous night. My sister and her husband were leaning against the wall at the foot of my bed. She was saying, Uh, Oh! Somebody's waking up! Good morning! Somebody's waking up! Better open your eyes!" (as if she was speaking to a child) I opened and closed them unable to wake up. I heard my sister say "somebody's coming out of their coma, better wake up!" I tried to move to no avail and passed out again. After this went on a few times I began to feel something in my back that was really hurting. I asked if I broke my back and she said no, no broken bones whatsoever! (let the reader remember this and understand)

I asked about Joseph's condition and cried. I called for a nurse but no one would come and my sister had to go get a nurse. When the nurse finally came to my door, she peered inside not setting foot in my room. She was a short haired red head with glasses an she asked what I needed. I told her something was wrong with my back. She said I had no broken bones but would find new hurts for a long time to come do to the roll over. I kept insisting something wasn't right so she said she'd get another nurse. When she returned she again only peeked into my room, not entering in. This time she said, "you don't remember me do you?" I said "No Ma'am." She said well I remember you and I'll never forget you for as long as I live." Dismayed, I asked why? She replied, "last night, you beat up 12 student interns here from Albuquerque doing their internship on trauma and triage. The entire emergency room staff, EMT's and security and "ME!" and I'll never forget you as long as I live. She told me what I did to her and I really physically hurt her very badly." We had to call the police to calm you down. No one could control you." I looked at my sister and she nodded in assent saying it's true, what's wrong were you drunk? I said no, I was fighting for my life, literally!"

Interestingly enough, I just now did the math and that was 25yrs ago and I was 25 yrs old at the time. Turns out while I was literally fighting for my life, some innocent people were hurt. My Lord, I'm so very sorry for that. I repent and ask You to please forgive me and put put it under the shed blood of the cross at Calvary. Cleanse me with hyssop that my robe would be made much whiter than snow and my name may be found written in the Lambs Book of Life on Judgement Day. In Jesus Mighty name, Amen. She never did set foot in my room. She said she forgave me but it was safer for both of us if she stayed away from me. Bless her heart.

When the nurses finally arrived to help me, upon sitting me up to check my back we discovered an oak tree branch extending out of the right side of my body with leaves attached to it. My bed was filled with leaves and soil! No one could explain where this branch came from. I asked if I made people so mad they left it there on purpose. Then I recalled the x-ray table and I had nothing then, nor pain did I feel at that time. But now, it was excruciating! They called for the doctor and for O.R. to prep for emergency surgery. Next thing I knew, they were cleaning it out to see how deep it was and they said the hole it came out of was closing before their very eyes! In disbelief they called for the doctor and he came and said it was closing, no surgery would be needed. Let me tell you. People, this tree branch was almost 3ft long and extended out of my right side at an angle. In measuring from memeory it was around 32 to 33 inches long at least! No one could explain how it got there or where it came from. When Mary, my boyfriends mother heard of this she had no explanation for it. She was there in the emergency room as you recall from my above testimony, she couldn't explain where it came from. I required no surgery to stitch it up it just healed by itself.

For the next 3 days I called for Sister Neria, an elderly Nun who would go room to room to pray for the sick, injured. Being that I wasn't Catholic, she was apprehensive to answer my call. She said she prayed and Jesus told her to go to me. She obeyed and led me to Salvation right on the spot! Down Romans Road and asked me if I knew who Jesus was I said no tell me! She asked if I do will you believe? I said Yes! Tell me! She told me all about Jesus and told me to keep telling Jesus I love You Jesus! over and over so I did and then she said she could pray. I repeated the Sinners prayer after her and received my Savior into my heart! She then asked why I called for her, I said because I've heard people get healed when you pray for them. She asked if I'd looked in a mirror yet, I said no I didn't want to and I didn't want to be scarred for life, knowing I must have looked a sight. As she was praying for me her eyes grew wide and she was taken aback as I asked what was wrong she said Jesus is healing you before my very eyes! I praised Him and thanked Him so much! I walked away ALIVE from an accident I died instantly in and came away with only one injury, a major concussion. That was more than enough believe you me. I knew I was spared great suffering but I suffered for weeks from that major concussion. I couldn't walk, talk, eat, sleep or do anything because everything made my head hurt.

My Testimony Part 4
(sorry so long)

First Note:

Upon discussing this accident with my sister about a week or so ago for the first time in many years, I learned for the first time that it took one and a half hours to locate me at the scene of the accident. No one knew where I was. Once my wallet was found they had a photo but no one could find me because I was rolled up like a burrito in the tailgate of that truck! Imagine opening a tailgate and laying a bat in the open crevice. That's how my body was insidle the crevice, then the tailgate slammed shut and wound up buried in the ditch.

Second Note:

My Mother passed away in my arms on June 1, 1997. She suffered several massive heart attacks in August of '96 which went untreated for several hours while in the care of a nursing home. After being comatose for 2 weeks she survived with only 14% of her heart remaining; 86% of her heart was gone! I told her if she would fight I'd bring her home with me and take care of her. Two days after her episode her father died of heart failure. When she awoke from her coma, she said she already knew, she said he told her.

Heart specialists gave her 5 seconds to 5 minutes to 5 hours to 5 days to live. I physically, literally carried her from room to room so she wouldn't exert her heart muscle by walking, bending, etc.. Our Precious heavenly Father let her live 8 months and 22 days in my care. On June 1, 1997 my mother passed away three times in my arms. After the first I shook her calling her back to me, she returned and died a second time, I again shook her calling her back saying don't leave me! I need you! She returned a third time, tried to kiss me and I freaked out and missed the kiss! (I can only plead temporary insanity) Then I heard a whoosh! and she was gone! The day before my sister had called a priest to give her last rites. I said she's not Catholic! During his blessing I saw millions of tiny silver stars hovering over her bed. Millions! They then turned to millions of tiny silver crosses just hovering over her bed! My brother then saw her standing before him jumping up and down opening and closing her hands. Something she'd told only him about..how she couldn't wait until she could once again open and close her hands without nerve damage.

My Mother Socorro F. Uzueta is now home with Jesus 14yrs and our precious, beloved Savior has seen fit to show me His divine love, mercy and grace in allowing me to remain. I surely would have perished. In this time I have learned to let past hurts go and forgive those who hurt me. I've learned that God is a loving, merciful and always faithful God who loves me and has never abandoned me. I've learned that the devil is a liar and the reason for everything that has gone wrong in my life, while all the while I was blaming God. I've learned that God is always good and faithful! Without His tender mercies, forgiveness, love and Sacrifice, I would not be here writing this testimony right now. I tell you the truth, I am not worthy of the price my Jesus paid for me. I am not worthy of the love and forgiveness and mercy He has shown me. I do not deserve such a loving and faithful Master! He is the only one who is Worthy! He is the only one who deserves to be loved, praised and glorified! He is HOLY! His name is Holy; not only do I mean in the meaning of the name but Holy is literally His name. Just like Jesus is His name! He is a Holy God and He requires of me to walk, talk and live in Righteousness and Holiness. I strive everyday to make the mark that He would one day say, Welcome Home! My good and faithful servant!

Because of His Mercy and His Grace, I am now a member of Lord Jesus Universal Salvation Church! I am writing this testimony to the best of my knowledge as the events of April 6-9, 1986 unfolded.

Yes, I stood before the King of Kings! Yes! He said "The decision has been made and the decision will not change." I firmly believe that He was looking at my heart and that He saw me die completely to self for my Mother's sake. I said I didn't care what He did with me and He knew I meant it. I believe Jesus made the decision to let me into heaven when He saw me deny my eternity for the love and life of someone else. I believe He made the decision then and that's the decision that will not change. Otherwise, He would have let me keep walking to the left with all the dark shadow people entering through that wide gate. I was as if they were all walking off a cliff. I was literally standing beside the brilliant white door to my right. I watched it open and Jesus let the whiter than snow people begin to enter into it. Inside it was filled with glorious, brilliant white Illuminating light. I was right beside it and the wide gate was farther to my left. He called me back from that wide gate which He never told me to enter. I just went because I was naive. He literally reached out and pulled me back. Praise be the Lord our God!

Jesus allowed me to come back for my Mother's sake and I was here when she needed me most. Of all 7 children and her 5 brothers and 8 sisters, I was the only one there for her when she was in a coma. In this lifetime, I could never receive a finer blessing. More than all the gold or money in the world at that time. Today I gladly lay down my life a second time and deny myself in Honor to my Beloved Savior. Had I truly known who Jesus was, is back then.. I would've gladly laid down my life for Him. If I could go back and start over I would want to serve Him every day to the fullest extent of my being. It is not about us! it has never been about us! It will never be about us! To God be the Glory forever and ever! Amen! Everyday I learn more about my loving and faithful Savior. I could live a million years and never learn it all. He has taken a tragedy and turned it around for His Divine Glory! His Divine Purpose under heaven. We've yet to see it to fruition but I know one thing for sure. God does have a plan for my life! I wait for Him to reveal His purpose for my life. Have Your way Lord! I say these things not for fame or glory but because I choose LIFE! I choose JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! I choose You Lord God! I choose to obey You and how I wish I hadn't wasted all those years before. You know everything Lord. You know the beginning from the end and You knew how long it would take to bring me around. You knew I would believe in You and You had mercy and gave me another chance. To You be all the Glory, Honor and Praise forevermore! Hallelujah! Our God Reigns from Glory, to glory, to Glory! Amen! Yes, and In Him,
Amen! Hallelujah!

27) * THE PRAYERS & SERMONS OF OUR STANDING MINISTERS FOR PEOPLE TO READ - 14

Daniel Pasaribu

“INTIMACY WITH GOD IS YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM” (JOHN 15: 7)

Friday Sermon as of October 21, 2011

Dear Precious Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

What is really the Intimacy With God or your Personal Relationship With Him and how is it attained? Many Christians are not seriously to take this matter as one of the important things to follow to enable them to commune with the Almighty God. In the meantime, there are many methods and certain guidance and sometimes it seems hard to accomplish. Feeling led to approach this subject from a different angle; I am trying to share what I have studied from the Word of God and learned from my own experiences and from other believers and at last only you can choose what method or guidance will satisfy your decision to reach the spiritual level of Intimacy With God to make you confident that you are walking with God on the right tract.

It is really exiting to know that God created each of us with a longing for intimacy with Him. We must, therefore, come to some understanding of what He is asking of us and what He is offering. We must come to the realization that we were created before the foundation of the world to fellowship with God, our Creator, for we all need Him and He desires us.
“Why does God desire us?” He has created us before the foundation of the world to commune with you and me. He wants us, desires us. He gave the very best He had in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to redeem what Adam relinquished in the Garden and He did it for intimacy purposes in the life of eternity with God.

Intimacy never involves just one person. As the old adage goes, “It takes two to tango.” God has gone to great lengths to dance with mankind. From the time He walked with Adam in Eden to this day, His desire hasn’t abated or changed. So passionate was His desire after Adam and Eve sinned, He worked intensely throughout time to bring humanity back to a place of intimate communion. He gave the ultimate Gift so He might walk with us in the garden of our lives (John 3:16). From the midst of the Garden, the Lord called out to Adam. Today He is calling out our names, waiting to share His heart with us, waiting to hear our hearts expressed to Him.

Now that we better understand God’s desires for intimacy, let’s consider what it entails. What does it mean? Is it hard to attain? I submit to you it is not a difficult endeavor. All it requires is our relentless pursuit of an abiding and growing personal relationship with God.
The biggest hindrance to have communion with God is our perception of who He is and how close we know Him as the Creator of Heaven and Earth, Basing our perception of God’s character on the ungodly actions or attitudes of others will skew our understanding of His nature. Often circumstances in our lives prevent us from drawing near. Yet David says in Psalm 27:10: “Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.” In other words, regardless of who abandons us, betrays us, or hurts us, the Lord is ready, willing and able to embrace us.


My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

You cannot know someone you don’t spend time with. Personal Intimacy develops as a result of close contact with someone over a period of time. Trust is built, confidence grows, and hearts change, becoming endeared to one another. Did you ever think about the fact that He is already waiting for you? What an awesome thought: The “Creator” of all that is or ever will be is waiting to talk with you and me and other Christian believers.
But you might say that, “You don’t know my schedule and I am so busy.” Yes I do. I’m just like you. But life is built of many little moments. The little moments are where you start. You can start by simply saying, “I love You, Jesus.”,” I adore you, Jesus” or “I need you ,Jesus”.What would happen if you went through your day, repeating, “Jesus loves me” and did this over a period of a week? Your heart would change. The first step of intimacy would take place: speaking and sharing. You could quote scriptures, praising Him, worshipping Him in spirit and truth or tell Him, “I love You, Lord Jesus” as to repeat it continuously or you can sing a worship song until you feel His Presence and these moments will add up, and your whole life will be consumed with thoughts of God, the creator of heaven and earth..

This is what I mean by being simple: If you struggle with a certain area in your life and need to know God’s thoughts on the matter, then pray to God and find a Scripture from the Bible befitting the need and do the same exercise. You see, not only does God want to have long times of communion with us, but He wants to spill over throughout our day. Before you know it, your desires change, and you find yourself continually in a place of communion going to Him first, bow down to Him, longing for Him, and needing Him in a way that moments are not enough.

When you long to experience deeper times with Him, put on an instrumental CD while relaxing, even while driving or working. Intimacy isn’t always about being verbal. Deep personal relationship with God can be built by sitting quietly with Him, reflecting on His goodness and love or praise and worship Him with all your heart. When you do these things first then you are inviting His Presence to anoint your quite time with God and that is the way you may pray, speak with Him and hearing His Voice.

When thinking about Him isn’t enough, speak to Him in a conversational tone. After all, Jesus walked as a man and built relationships in the same way we do today. If you spend time in worshipping Him and having your fellowship with His Word, He will begin to speak those thoughts back to your heart, giving you vision, revelation of His plan for yourself or others, guidance and encouragement. The more you worship Him in spirit and truth and meditate the Word of God which you have already read and, the more there is Wisdom and Revelation Knowledge for you to hear in your quite time with Him.

This is the second part of intimacy: listening and hearing. When He speaks back to your heart, “I love you no matter what.” It would be good to have a notebook in which to write down the words and thoughts He impresses on you. These reminders will come in handy during dry times. He tells us to put Him in remembrance of His Word, and that includes what He speaks to our hearts and we may call it a conversation between His Children and God.

Remember, He desires to hear about every problem, temptation, thought, plan,desire, and dream. In the Bible, David told God he was angry. Did God know David was angry? Of course. Yet He wanted David to tell Him. This enabled David to hear God’s heart and release his anger to someone who understood without taking it out on others. He chose to remember the faithfulness of God in His life and act upon it.

The closing sermon of Intimacy With God or our Personal Relationship with Him should be our first priority in our whole lives of the True Believers, for many Christians today are still afraid that they can not be good enough to come to the Presence of God, but God said that He is married to the back slider.

Now, what is the conclusion of this sermon today for His congregation. Have you decided to make your Intimacy With God or your Personal Relationship With Him should be the First Priority in your life? Don’t you think that God desires to speak to you and to guide and tell you what to do to live according to His will, desire and perfect plan? A Personal Relationship With Him or Intimacy With God was the lifestyle which had been performed successfully by all the Servant of God who lived in the Old Testament and the New Testament including the Servant of God in these Last Days until today to receive His instruction and Revelation Knowledge according to Ephesians 1:17 during their ministries to fulfill God’s mission on this earth to fully surrender and obey our Father in Heaven, the Almighty God.

 My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
May the Lord bless you all and May the Holy Spirit will help you to have a Personal Relationship or Intimacy With God, for we have been united in Christ Jesus to do His Will, Desire and Perfect Plan as to obey His Commandments and fear the Lord according to His Instructions in Ecclesiastes 12:12-13.

To God Be All the Glory,
Daniel Pasaribu

My children, I want Your eyes to Me alone and your heart in My will and for you to love and be gentle to one another. Tell my ministers to humble each one to one another. I am standing in the middle and need my children to work in harmony and humbleness of heart. (while typing this I saw the Lord, seating on the chair, all are white and beside Him, on top of Him flying is a white dove, then the Lord moves His hands in the left direction picking something and reaching His hands I saw then a flower in His hands, a rose. Its very red then the Lord let my eyes focus on the rose. This my child is like the color of my blood that I have shed on you, this flower smells nicely and gentle..I make it gentle for the hearts of men to like this flowers. I know you love roses. I have many of this in my kingdom, more beautiful and will not get dry. Have you seen the thorns..I want to remind you my child, for the thorns that I have taken for my love of you but these are nothing on my cross on the calvary where I shed my blood for you and you have seen the greatness of My love for you and this love is for all of you, to the whole world. I felt the peace and the great love of the Lord after He showed this to me) Then the Lord stood and kissed me in my forehead.




My children, I can only move in you, if you have a pure heart to me to me and to one another. Look at my heart and know how it beats for each one of you. I die for each one of you. You are all precious in my eyes. When you cry, I cry, when one of you is lonely I am lonely. Your pain and hardships each one of you I feel. I feel your love for me and it gives me joy when you loved me and you loved one another. I want you to work in love and humbleness for I your GOD is humble. I am gentle, full of love for you. I am asking kindly with each other and all of you to surrender all to Me. On My will, My ways and to one another.


This is the last hours. I want my blood to pour to many. I want My name be glorified by many, before the darkness, the total darkness comes. Its my desires you all work with love. Looking at Me and my sufferings when I was on the cross. In the cross I pour out all My love and mercy to the whole world. I came for all the sinners and the lost.

25) * THE PRAYERS & SERMONS OF OUR STANDING MINISTERS FOR PEOPLE TO READ - 13

Fred McConnell
21 October 2011


Dear Brother & Sisters = Brethren

I know that all today who will share in this message are grown spiritually, as I have viewed the praises, prayers, worship, and comments posted. I have no doubt that I am speaking today to brethren who have knowledge, wisdom, and understanding regarding the things of God.

Last week’s message had to do with using our eyes, ears, mind, and heart to acquire a greater perception in God’s Word, to discern correctly His words and apply those things that go hand in hand with His Word that we do the will of God. If there is someone sharing in this message that didn’t share last week’s message and want to, all standing ministers’ sermons can be viewed at the website.

Now we need to also have guidelines to govern our interaction with one another that our fellowship be also in accordance with God’s Will. This is because we are all being prepared to enter into an eternal kingdom, the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. All of us are also being prepared to be disciples of our Lord in whatever capacity He has ordained for us. Now everyone has to be aware as to what has my Lord ordained for me. Internalize this thought and pray on it. If you set your heart and mind on this and seek to do the things that please Him, He will gladly show you.

Let us begin as I spoke of above in the guidelines to govern our interaction with one another that our fellowship be also in accordance with God’s Will. We will need our bibles handy to do some reading.

I am going to place a collaborative scripture here. Collaborative is an adjective which means something used to work with another or a group to achieve something. The scripture was written by the apostle Paul. Keep referring back to it as we take in this message.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Now we will discuss the labor of a true disciple of Jesus Christ, and if we bear in mind the collaborative scripture above and concentrate on the disciple to see what he is accomplishing, we are understanding His purpose and reason for doing it. In other words we will see it from his vantage point which will help us to realize and accept the principles being established which will make it easier for us to comply with the principles, which if we do, then we are doing those things as Jesus said to please the Father. You all will be true disciples yet!

Divine Comment: The power of His Disciples is in their knowledge and wisdom in the Word of God, and their authority and influence is expressed to those under their care in the might and fervency of God’s Holy Spirit working love within and through them. The Disciples will apply the Word of God to those hearing their words for the intent purposes:

Admonish To rebuke somebody: to chastise, to rebuke somebody mildly but earnestly.

Exhort Something intended to urge or persuade: something said or written in order to urge somebody strongly to do something.

Edify To enlighten and improve or disprove the morals or knowledge of somebody.

As written in his epistle, the apostle Paul ministering to the church in Corinth; in 1Corin. Chapter 1, he admonishes the church body regarding the strife and divisions among them.

For it has been declared to me of you, my brothers, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you said, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1Corinthians 1:11-12

The apostle further elaborates in his admonishment to the church body to give them understanding why there is strife and division amongst them.

And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for till now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able. For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men? For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal? 1Corin. 3:1-4

Paul was referring to carnal, their physical outward actions in speech and conduct.
Paul magnifies his admonishment to a greater degree in which he chastises them regarding fornication in their midst and their tolerance of sin. Read 1Corin. 5:1-7.

Paul not only confronted then with the sin in their midst, but exhorted them to cast the sinner out from them and over to satan.

The words of the apostle given to the Corinthian church were admonishments and exhortations, to relate to those hearing his words that God’s knowledge was given them to show them their strife and division within the church body and their tolerance of sin. In their tolerance of sin they were all in sin.

In reading 2Corinthians, Chapter 2, Paul’s 2nd epistle, we see that the church obeyed Paul and he encouraged the church to forgive the sinner and welcome him back into their fellowship.

The epistles sent to the church was given to the leaders to share with all. Now if we recall the collaborative scripture, 2Corinthians 10:4-6 which was also included in the letter of 2Corinthians, then all were then made to understand that the sins and carnal actions were outward actions emanating from the iniquity within them. Their minds, with their thoughts, attitudes, pride, arrogance, and their hearts with the feelings of jealousies, anger, lust, etc. Paul wanted them to realize it’s the inner man that needs to conform and into compliance with God’s Word, and thus the outer man will also comply.

Another example to magnify this God Given Precept is shown us in the book of Galatians. In chapter 3 the apostle continues his exhortation that until faith comes they are still under the law, (newly born again and unlearned children) that need God’s knowledge to bear their fruit and grow up in their salvation. In chapter 4, the apostle is admonishing the Galatian church to face up to their back sliding ways of returning to a former practice of things they were released from in the liberty obtained through their Lord Jesus Christ. He admonishes them to bring them into account for their behavior, to face God’s truth and what God expects of them, and He then gives them a scripture of his hope to lead them into edification.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. Galatians 4:19

Until Christ be formed within you!!!! Behold, the new creation, the new person within made in the image of his or her God. As in the beginning, in Genesis, and God said, “Let us make man in our image.”

In the beginning, God made man in His image, our senses, the eyes to see, the ears to hear, the taste, touch, smell, etc. the physical senses, but the one sense man did not receive at that time was the spiritual sense. Spirituality was to come with redemption, in and through our Lord Jesus Christ who is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory.

Our God has accomplished it, for you, for me, for all of us. Let us all now love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and every bit of strength we possess, and to love His children as ourselves, and give the praise, honor, and glory to Him.

The True Church has but two Commandments and how these commandments are to be discerned. Read Luke 10:25-37

The True Church has one doctrine, and by keeping this doctrine we will not be honoring our Lord with our lips, while our hearts are far from Him, and keeping the doctrines of men. This doctrine is: Our Lord’s Friendship Covenant

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:13-17

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:28-31

Brothers & Sisters, we are getting ready to reach out to the other members to encourage them to fellowship with us. We would truly appreciate your love and help. If any of you want to join in, please let us know in comment. We will be in touch with you. Your help would be those things that please the Father.

I continue to remain committed to our Lord’s love and passion for all of God’s children until He either takes me home or at His appearing.
Brother Fred, Caretaker – Love Thy Neighbor Ministry

24) * THE PRAYERS & SERMONS OF OUR STANDING MINISTERS FOR PEOPLE TO READ - 12

Sally Richter

19 October 2011

My Prayer -Testimony: THERE IS HOPE IN THE CROSS OF THE LORD!

The last days I felt exhausted, very tired, my health is suffering and I admitted it to the Lord. I need the love of the Lord and I remember the message of the Lord Jesus to the church is love as I re-read it all. It always comes back to love. When the Lord speaks to me about the church, His love, He speaks to me always at the end of His suffering on the cross in calvary. Yesterday I realized largely why when the Lord speaks He always ends with His love flowing while He was on the cross. This is the only hope we have in this hour of chaos and darkness. The only hope is His blood and mercy while He was on the cross.The dispensation of grace, help of our Lord Jesus is showing and pointing always on His great love and mercy while He was on the cross. And yesterday I called His mercy while He was on the cross and the Lord answer me, showed me my mistakes and help me faced it with a humble heart.

By the blood of Jesus I am healed by it. The difficulties the Lord made me feel at the end. He always made me see He was here with me. When most hearts gets cold, the blood and mercy of the Lord Jesus had been my strenght. The Lord points on His mercy. We only need to trust His mercy. I realized too the Lord has His very good reason in gathering His children. His chosen and faithful children are to be of comfort of each one and our Lord made me see it. I felt abandoned by the Lord for a moment but I found out I am not. (Thank you Lord for forgiveness) When sister Stephanie Beaupre gave me a message. The Lord speaks to her. He showed her my state and I realized the Lord Jesus great love and I felt stronger because of the Lords message through sister Stephanie. And I thank Him so much also for brother Fred McConell. Bro. Fred asked sister Stephanie to always pray for me and the works that I had to do. Inspite of all I have seen the true children of the Lord in my darkest state. I have seen and I felt their love. The love of the Lord Jesus in their hearts.

My confidence was put back by the Lord. He showed me He is always and will always be faithful, no matter what. Now I am more confident by the grace of the Lord that He is with me always. And this happens for the Lord wants me to know. He wants us to know. He is the GOD of love to His children even at this darkest hours. He is faithful and true. When we feel the Lord is not with us. There is hope and deliverance on all of these. The love of the Lord Jesus while He was still on the cross. And the love He shared on His children to reach out on His other children who cannot stand:

Sharing sister Stephanies note and it had been true: (sent last Sunday, but I only saw yesterday)

Hi Sally,
How are you? Well, I just want to share this with you. I was driving home yesterday from work and praying. Once again when my prayer turn to praying for you the song Stronger by Mandise came on again and I said to our lord this song is for my sister, Sally. As I was listening and praying it came to part I want to share with you because I said it in my pray for you. God know this will make your stronger, so went the wave come crashing upon you, he will make you stronger, stronger. I just feel so much joy inside for you and realize this is gone make you stronger, because God is with you. Sally, in all you do and said the Lord will be with you to make you stronger, so hold on He will be there with you to lead and guide you every step of the way, my beloved sister.

This morning I started to hear the Lord Jesus telling me to make this testimony about His cross, His mecy when He was on the calvary. After writing the above things on my diary. I pray and lay down. I was lying down when I felt something is starting to flow in my arms and it continues to flow inside body. I did not moved I want to feel it. It slowly flow in my veins and all and I felt the pain and my weaknesses had been stored. Then I started to feel joy inside me. I felt happiness then I had the visions of my faithful sisters and brothers in Christ praying for me. I felt joy and my tears flow. Then I heard the Lord says be of good cheer, be of comfort to one another.
Thank you sisters Sarah, Leslie, Carlen, Marguerite, brother Fred and everyone who prays for me.
Thank you GOD/LORD JESUS for the great love, for showing us the way to fight at these hours. Truly our salvation is Your mercy when You were on the cross. I thank you Lord for your loving mercy. I thank You all for all of my brothers and sisters who prayed for me. I realized how wonderful you are to gather us, your faithful ones to be of help in prayers when one of us is down and cannot pray well. Their love and prayers for me You heard. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you GOD! Bless each one of them. Bless us all. Thank you for Your great love upon us all. Thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy.
Amen!

23) * CREATION CALLS

Fred McConnell

Brothers and Sisters = (Brethren)


Please forgive me for posting late. There is a video which comes with this message. Please look for it if it isn’t above or below this message that you may view it before proceeding with this message. The video is Creation Calls.
I’ve listed these paragraphs as 2 and 3 for a reason. I’ll explain below.


Paragraph 2: Before we begin, I would ask all to quiet themselves a few moments that we may offer a prayer in unity. In order to quiet ourselves we must push everything else away and concentrate upon what is the most important matter in our lives. It is our Lord and our salvation. They go hand in hand and we must as our Lord tells us in His Word to come out of the world and let go of the things of the world, that we may correctly perceive our Lord’s Word. Work today, kids today, shopping today, school today, pay the bills, have an important thing to do today, and the list goes on and on. Let’s forget such things and concentrate on why we’re here. We are here to share some quality time with our Lord.


Paragraph 3: Let our beloved Lord then lead us in our prayer of unity. I’m sure all know His prayer and can speak it verbatim, but let us look at our bible in Matthew 6:5-15, so we also add to our prayer those things that go hand in hand with His prayer. You can also add whatever matters you want to add to His prayer. It’s as when we pray over our food giving thanks, we know that all things are made clean and good by His Word and prayer. Everyone sharing in this message today will all pray the same prayer, thus in our prayer we have unity with our Lord and one another.


TODAY’S MESSAGE: LET US WALK HAND IN HAND TOGETHER AS ONE


What I want to share with everyone today is in regards to the church guidelines which I believe all new members have received a copy. If not, they can be viewed at our church website. They are important as our Lord set them before us as we begin to set up His church. He did so that we maintain harmony and order and not have chaos. The guidelines set each day’s event, whether sermon, worship, posting praises, prayer, fellowship, etc. If we read carefully to understand the guidelines and follow them, we are all doing everything according to His Will and not doing things our way. In this same mindset there are other matters we need to attend to and adhere to that we maintain harmony, order, and unity in our fellowship.


These matters have to do with our perception of God’s Word. This is the main topic of my discussion. It is pertinent that we listen to our Lord’s words carefully. Using our eyes to see His written words, but also training our ears to listen along also, and taking His words to heart to contemplate His word and discern it correctly.


Contemplate (to think about something seriously and at length, especially in order to understand it more fully). Let’s try it with the following scripture.


Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.


Read it again and contemplate the scripture within your heart to perceive what it is really saying. I see our Lord as saying hear my words, discern them correctly, and you will receive more. (Discern is to see or notice something that is not very clear or obvious.)


It is true that most people today do not read to contemplate understanding of what they are reading. Especially in this world today, if we are all caught up in the world and its things, the cares and the worries, our minds are everywhere else. Do you the reader, remember what I had said above in the 2nd and 3rd paragraph in regards to our prayer. If you don’t remember, let’s look at the paragraphs again.


Paragraph 2
Before we begin, I would ask all to quiet themselves a few moments that we may offer a prayer in unity. In order to quiet ourselves we must push everything else away and concentrate upon what is the most important matter in our lives. It is our Lord and our salvation. They go hand in hand and we must as our Lord tells us in His Word to come out of the world and let go of the things of the world, that we may correctly perceive our Lord’s Word. Work today, kids today, shopping today, school today, pay the bills, have an important thing to do today, and the list goes on and on. Let’s forget such things and concentrate on why we’re here. We are here to share some quality time with our Lord.


That is what I said above, now let’s contemplate it with our heart as to what is the most important matter in our lives in paragraph 2 as follows:


We are here to share some quality time with our Lord. We take the most important matter in our lives, which is our Lord and our salvation; they go hand and hand, and close out the world, its cares and worries and its things.


In this same mindset, let’s take a closer look at our prayer in paragraph 3, which I listed in the 3rd paragraph above, but I will list below what is most important in what I had said.


Let our beloved Lord then lead us in our prayer of unity. I’m sure all know His prayer and can speak it verbatim, but let us look at our bible in Matthew 6:5-15, so we also add to our prayer those things that go hand in hand with His prayer. You can also add whatever matters you want to add to His prayer.


Let’s look again in our bible at the scripture in Matthew 6:5-15.


Our Lord’s prayer is shown in verses 9 to 13. But the verses that were listed were 5 to 15. We need to look at verses 5 to 8 and 14 and 15. In verses 5 to 8, our Lord is telling us how to pray correctly. In verses 14 and 15, Jesus is telling us to be forgiven we must always forgive others.


These scriptures are those things that go hand in hand with our prayer. These scriptures are important to discern and in keeping them, our prayer is right with God. We go into our closet (some place quiet as a bedroom) shut off the world and pray to our Father which is in secret. We also truly forgive others, thus our Father forgives us. If we don’t keep His Word, which are those things which go hand in hand with our prayer, then why should our Father hear our prayer.


Now that we have the mindset keeping the world, its cares and worries, and its things out of the way, let’s look at Luke 8:18 again.


Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
Now let’s look at those things that go hand in hand with Luke 8:18.


Luke 8:14-17 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.


To discern correctly the scripture Luke 8:18 is to bear the fruit of His Holy Spirit and let your light shine so that others may see your light. This will negate the other part of Luke 8:18 which says and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have. What is it that you seem to have, but do not really have?


Let’s not fool ourselves. Let us keep His Word and our prayers will be heard and answered in accordance with His Will. Thus we will have unity. Oneness with our Lord and our Father, and our brothers and sisters who keep His Word also.


Why we need to bear the fruit of His Holy Spirit. Gospel John 15:1-7


The Fruit of His Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23


2Corinthians 6:14-18 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what partnership does righteousness have with unrighteousness? and what fellowship has light with darkness? And what harmony has Christ with Belial? or what does he who believes have in common with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will live in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch the unclean thing; and I will welcome you, And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.


Brethren, I hope I didn’t lose any of you along the way in this message. It is given to force you to think, contemplate, and meditate upon God’s Word with prayer for understanding. If you have any question or need more clarity, please leave it in comments and I will gladly follow up with you.


May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Creation Calls -- are you listening? Music by Brian Doerksen

Fred McConnell

At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them, And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:1-4

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:20-21

Brethren, Let us not forget our morning offering to our Father as Jesus instructed us, and let us remember those things that go hand in hand with our prayer offering. This church body remains in my prayers daily, and I touch on several of you each day, and several the next, so that I remember you all.
And this is love that we love one another as we love our Lord.

22) * THE PRAYERS & SERMONS OF OUR STANDING MINISTERS FOR PEOPLE TO READ - 11

San Davis
Sermon given for Monday October 17, 2011.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH BY DEFEATING THE EVIL ONE .....


How do we recognize and resolve attacks from the world, the flesh and the devil? More often than none, we have all experienced spiritual warfare along the way in our Christian walk. In fact the more focus we are on serving God and glorifying Jesus, the more spiritual resistance we encounter from time to time... Well how do we recognize spiritual opposition, and how do we respond and how do we overcome?

Many of us have taken a personal beating from the enemy due to lack of preparation or just not knowing how to respond offensively...Most would call it spiritual naivete or spiritual passivity... Then again, lack of response to attack from the enemy could also be due to the fact that most don’t know enough about the bible to put up a fight. If we are not able to decipher from which the attack is coming whether it be the flesh, the world or the evil one, then we will not know how to fight….If we are able to determine from where the opposition is coming be it the flesh then we could run from it. If its coming from the world we could evaluate and determine the response...or if from the evil one we then learn how to fight!!!

Too many of us Christians lose more battles than win and endure our walk with God rather than enjoy it....Most of us consistently lose battles, we should be winning. Those of us who choose to ignore, ridicule, or run from the realities of spiritual warfare, are putting ourselves at a huge disadvantage in this conflict...as children of God, we must learn to be strategic in our responses to these attacks of the flesh, the world and the enemy, learning how to fight quickly, biblically and effectively.

Ephesians 6:16 "And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

We must learn how to recognize all three enemies and not focus on one at the expense of the others..... In Christ, we have the authority and the power to consistently walk above their temptations and propositions if we will learn how to discern the source of our battles and apply the proper defense strategy God has designed for each enemy in His word.

Luke 10 18-20 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

A Christian not understanding his delegated authority over demons leave themselves open for attacks....Many Christian are spiritually passive and ignores demonic conflicts because of fear, while others sit on the sideline mocking or attacking fellow Christians who are actually in the battle, these Christians lack understanding about spiritual warfare and in my opinion are cowards....For too many Christians the answer is that we do not know what we believe or why we believe it. We cannot give what we do not have or share what we do not know. More effective discipleship training is accomplished by design than by accident or luck.

It is imperative that we recognize where the attack is coming from...the best response to external opposition which is an attack from the world (people in the world or things or people in the world) is to evaluate the solicitation that provokes the flesh to sin and say to yourself its not worth it....after all, the world offers too little (which is temptation and self gratification which then leads to sin and self condemnation) and ask for too much (which is my righteousness and salvation). Most of us spend too much time in the world and talking about things of the world...The scriptures below addresses that...

I John 2:15 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him".

James 4:4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

{The Spirit is constantly warring against the flesh, and the scriptures addressing this is noted in Galatians}

Galatians 5:17-21 "For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

{An evil entity within us that causes us to not want to do what we know is right to do...our flesh warring against the spirit as noted in Romans}

Romans 7:15 -17 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

In an escalated situation, we can determine whether or not our reaction will be a Blessing to our circumstance or a Curse!! I would think, the easy thing to do would be to evaluate the situation by saying "YES" to the things of God and "NO" to the things of the devil or the world...but as always, it is always easier said than done...as the flesh is constantly at war with the spirit.

{Timothy 2 :22 Ephesians 4:22-24 & Galatians 5:16 are illustrations of how to handle the sins or lust of the flesh when compared to the scriptures given for handling sins of the world}

2 Timothy 2:22-23 "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife."

Ephesians 4:22-24 "Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Galatians 5:16 "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves."

{Next we have to deal with solicitation from the evil one or the fathers of all lies...The scripture to follow illustrates How to respond to his attacks...James 4:7-10 and 1 Peter 2:3-9}

James 4:7-10 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up."

1 Peter 2:3-9 "If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame." 7So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."

IN CONCLUSION

LEARN HOW TO PRAY OFFENSIVELY...

Most of us tend to pray prayers like that in Psalm 18 "In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help" or that of Psalm 27 "The LORD is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?" to name a few... These prayers are mostly Defensive in orientation than Offensive.. I'm not saying there is anything wrong in praying these scriptures...in praying these Psalms, we are petitioning help from our Heavenly Father which is most common among prayers; however as children of the most high God who walk with authority...He has given us power to tread upon serpents and all the power of the enemy, so we need to fight the good fight of faith by praying more offensive prayers like those illustrated in the scriptures below....

Psalm 3, Psalms 31, Psalm 91, Psalm 109, Jeremiah 18 and Nehemiah 4 to name a few...not printing the actual scriptures will prompt you to actually read these scriptures in your time of study!! There is absolutely nothing defensive about these prayers...we are asking the Lord to fight with us instead of fighting for us, and contend with us as we go to war with the enemy and him with us....

Bottom line, God has given us a shield of faith to ward off the fiery attacks of the enemy, so instead of running from the attacks of the enemy, we are told to resist the enemy and he will flee from us...Ephesians 6:12 We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus...It is time we began living like victors in this world rather than as victims. Our Savior and our faith are more than enough to guarantee we have consistent victory over the world, the flesh and the devil...Assuming we learn to fight strategically and biblical with the weapons at our disposal.....Our enemies, the flesh (physiological), the world (sociological), and the evil one (the supernatural opposition, the devil), all represent every possible combination of spiritual warfare we will encounter in this life.

Remember we Overcome by The Word Of Our Testimony, so saints get up and fight with your words of faith, fight with your testimony but most importantly, fight with your prayers....

The word of God tells us in Revelations 12:11, “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

To God be the glory, honor and praise for it is in His Son Jesus that we live and breathe and have our being...it is by our faith in Him that we are freely given salvation, not of ourselves but by the grace of our ever Loving Eternal Father, Yahweh God.

May our Lord of Peace fill you with His Shalom, guarding your hearts and mind in Him...Much love to each of you my brethren in the Lord, God bless!
