He is the light of the world
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Saviour of my soul
He is the Saviour of my soul
He is the Saviour of my soul

He is the salt of the earth
He is the salt of the earth
He is the salt of the earth
He is a lamp unto my feet
He is a lamp unto my feet
He is a lamp unto my feet
He is a lamp unto my feet.
The Word:
Thus says God, the Lord, He Who created the heavens and stretched them forth, He Who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, He Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:
I the Lord have called you, the Messiah, for a righteous purpose and in righteousness; I have taken You by the hand and have kept You; I have given You for a covenant to the people [Israel], for a light to the nations;
To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness from the prison. [Matt. 12:18-21.]
- Isaiah 42:5-7
Behold, I have appointed Him [the Messiah, or David as representing Him] for a witness - one who shall testify of salvation - to the nations, a prince and commander to the peoples.
- Isaiah 55:4
God Is Spirit and All who worship Him must do so In Spirit and Truth. Jesus said, "My Word Is Spirit and Life!" When standing before Pilate, Jesus was asked, "What Is Truth?" Although He did not respond at that time, because He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, His silence was deafening and shouts down through the ages, "I Am The Way, The Truth And The Life! No man comes to The Father, but By Me!" The "Gifts From God" which are many have shaken (literally) and divided the Church, because of man made doctrines, rules and regulations, but as we seek the Holy Spirit's guidance, rightfully divide the Word of Truth and allow Him to have His Way with us, Jesus Christ, the Saviour, God's Most Spiritual and Precious Gift to All of mankind on the face of planet Earth will bring Unity, Edification, Faith, Hope and above All, LOVE to His Body, so that we can take the Love of God and the Good News of Jesus to All Nations and Peoples! Let us move on now In the Most Excellent of Ways, prayerfully, with an open mind, heart and soul, walking softly and humbly before Our God as He teaches us In Jesus' Name. Amen.
NOW about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed.
- 1 Corinthians 12:1
It's funny how numbers take their place in Biblical studies: 7 for perfection, completeness, fulness, wholeness; 10 for power as in multiplication, times. X's (Did you know The Holy of Holies was a perfect cube measuring 10 X 10?), then there are The Twelve Tribes of Israel, The Twelve Apostles and for your reading pleasure In The Word of God, Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 for a wonderful study in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that should be present and active in the Life of All Believers!
We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures are clear that if we ask of the Father His Spirit then we receive. Christ In YOU Is the Hope of Glory! He who has the Son has Life! As a Believer In Jesus as Your Lord and Savior, You "are" filled and anointed with the same Holy Spirit that descended like a dove upon Him when He walked upon the face of this Earth. Therefore, you have the same Gifts From God and more importantly "The Gift Of God," Jesus Who Is The Resurrection And The Life, Living, Moving And Having His Being In YOU by the Power and Anointing of The Holy Spirit!
God wants to establish His Justice upon the Earth and wants us to hopefully wait for, expect His direction and law (Love God, your neighbor as yourself and one another as Jesus Loves YOU). [Rom. 8:22-25.] Jesus Is Lord; His Name Is Above All, His Glory shall be over All the Earth and He Inhabits the Praises of His People! He Who created the heavens and Earth has breathed the Breath of Life, His Holy Spirit into our soul, called us unto Himself, taken us by the hand, kept us, entered into a covenant relationship of Love, made us a Light to the Nations, opened our eyes to open up other's, set us free, so that we could set the captives free indeed, brought us out of darkness into His Glorious Light, given us His Life, so that we could have Eternal, Everlasting Life, given us His Word as a lamp to guide us and His Name, so that we could overcome the World!
Listen! Incline your ear [submit and consent to the Divine will], and come to God; hear, and your soul shall revive; and He will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercies - kindness, good will and compassion - promised to David. [2 Sam. 7:8-16; Acts 13:34; Heb. 13:20.] He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Hear, O Israel, The Lord, Our God, The Lord Is One! Want revival?
All God's Promises are Yes and Amen In Jesus and His Call and "Gifts" are irrevocable! There is a whole World out there that many of us do not know of, but God says, "Nations that you did not know shall run to you, because of The Lord Your God, and of The Holy One Of Israel, for He Has Glorified YOU!" You have been appointed by God, an Ambassador for Christ, representing Him for a witness to the nations to testify that Salvation can be found in no other Name, but Jesus'!
We are Called to be Witnesses of the Resurrection Power of God, so take your place as a Royal Priesthood and Holy Nation, Kings and Priests, because God has "given" us EVERYTHING we need to live our Life Unto Him In Jesus' Name.
Take all the gifts and talents He has bestowed upon you and use them for His Purposes, so that All Glory, Honor and Praise can go to He Alone Who Is Worthy!
Seek, inquire for and require the Lord while He may be found - claiming Him for necessity and by right; call upon Him while He is near.
- Isaiah 55:6
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special: Gifts From God
Worship:
1 Timothy 1:16
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible The only wise God, the only wise God
Be honor and glory forever and ever.
Amen.
The Word:
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only-begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish - come to destruction, be lost - but have eternal (everlasting) life.
- John 3:16
Jesus answered her, if you had only known and recognized God's gift, and Who this is that is saying to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked Him instead and He would have given you living water.
- John 4:10
Jesus then said to them, I assure you, I most solemnly tell you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven - what Moses gave you was not the Bread from heaven - but it is My Father Who gives you the true, heavenly Bread.
For the Bread of God is He Who come down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
- John 6:32, 33
What God did for Love! What have you given up in order to be called a Christian? Gifts are shopped for, bought, wrapped, given and received every day around the globe, but there is none greater than the Gift of Life and Love for they are One and as Believers In Jesus as Lord and Savior, we are One together In Him!
You are a prize! I know you've probably been called that before, but ever by God?
He loves you, treasures you and adores you so much that He even sent Jesus to die on the Cross in our stead, so that we could be forgiven and restored to a right relationship with Him. Not only was Jesus "unique" (One of a kind), but you "are" unique In God's Eyes too by the cleansing power of His Blood. He sought you out, redeemed and bought you, wrapped you in His Righteousness, Holds you In the Palms of His Hands, carries you In His Everlasting Arms, given you His Holy and Precious Word, Will, Way, The Name Above All, Joy, Peace, Eternal Life and The Love of God to rule and reign in your hearts and minds In Christ Jesus! He Loves YOU, though the mountains fade and snowmen sleep in the sea and He really only wants you to Love Him and each other as yourself. You shall not perish and no weapon formed against you shall prosper! Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus has overcome the World and Everyone who Believes, Trusts, Clings To and Relies On Him shall not be lost, because those who seek shall find Eternal, Everlasting Life In His Name!
Are you planning on actually living forever? I Am! Jesus, The Great I Am was given to us as a Gift From God that we might find salvation, be made safe and sound through Him. He did not come to judge, reject, condemn or pass sentence on us, so if you are thinking and feeling that you are in direct violation of God's Word to you Today! Apart from Him we are condemned already, but In Him we are cleansed of all sin and unrighteousness, pure, holy and blameless, because He paid the price!
Do you know and recognize God's Gift to you?
John The Beloved wrote his Gospel, so that we would come to "know" Jesus and the Power of His Resurrection In and Through our LIfe! I do not write these things to you for the fun of it or take commentaries of others, read them and re-write them in my own words, but I pass on to you what God has taught me In His Word and pray that His Holy Sprit will speak to where you are at In Him.
What is He saying to you Today? Are you thirsty? Drink! Have questions? Ask!
Jesus Is The Fountain Of Life Itself! He Is The Answer for the World Today! He Is The Giver Of Life, so receive all that He has to Give, The Abundant Life! Take the plunge and enter into His Streams of Living Water! The Spotless Son of God knows that your well may be deep, empty and dry, but there is no pit so deep that God cannot go deeper still! God Is Our Provider, He draws out new things from the old and is no respecter of persons, so draw near to Him Today and He will draw near to you.
God "gave" the Nation of Israel bread out of heaven during the time of Moses, but Today He speaks to us through His Son, Jesus The True Bread Who came down from God out of Heaven. Jesus was born in Bethlehem (The House of Bread), laid in a manger (a feeding trough) and He bids us to come and eat His Body broken for us. He Is The Bread Of Life Eternal!
Feed upon the Word of God (It builds a strong Body in more than 12 Ways :)
Thanks be to God, Our Father Who "Gives" us The True Heavenly Bread!
Come to Him and you will never, ever be hungry or thirsty any more - at any time In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! Gifts From God:
The Holy Spirit, The Comforter & Grace
Worship:
Psalm 51: 10-12
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence,
And take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And renew a right spirit within me.
The Word:
But He gives us more and more grace [power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully]. That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly - those who are humble-minded [enough to receive it].
[Prov. 3:34.]
- James 4:6
The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, shame is the highest rank conferred on [self-confident] fools, but He declares blessed - joyful and favored with blessings - the home of the just and consistently righteous, He "gives" His undeserved favor to the low [in rank], the humble and the afflicted, the wise shall inherit glory - all honor and good. Thank God Almighty for His Grace, The Power of His Holy Spirit being active within All Believers Everywhere to overcome the evil! Are you like unfaithful wives having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vows to God?
Being the world's friend is being an enemy to God and if you choose to be a friend of the world you take a stand as an enemy of God! The Spirit yearns over you with a jealous Love and he longs for you to choose wisely each and every day. He wants us to be subject to God, stand firm against the devil; resist him and he "must" flee from us! Recognize that we are sinners saved by Grace; realize that we have been disloyal, wavering individuals with divided interests and spiritual adulterers. We need to repent, grieve, weep over our disloyalties, humble ourselves - feel very insignificant - in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt us - He will lift us up and make our lives significant!
Blessed are the meek! This is the very first Scripture I ever remember learning and I recited it in a Church play sometime in the early 1960's. The meek shall inherit the earth! Moses is spoken of as the meekest person who ever lived, so be certain that "meekness" is not weakness!
Feeling weak and insignificant? The Joy of the Lord Is Our Strength and as we submit ourselves to God's Word, Will and Way, He "gives" us the Grace, His Holy Spirit Power (The Resurrection Power of Jesus), His Unmerrited Favor to meet any and all challenges before us fully, because Jesus overcame the World!
Pride comes before a fall and puffs us up.
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity! Solomon expounded that we are like a balloon filling ourselves up with hot air until we burst into nothingness.
Have you checked your ego lately? How's your "self" esteem? Jesus came to Earth meek and lowly and we as Believers are to follow In His Example. We have the Mind of Christ! What are you thinking?
The Word of God exhorts us to let this mind (Christ's Mind) be in you! Are you humble-minded? Single-minded? You have to be in order to receive The Things of God and if you are then God through the ministry of His Holy Spirit "gives" His Grace Continually to YOU! He has not nor will He ever leave you comfortless.
Every breath and Every heartbeat is a Gift From God to you Every Day. He "gives" more and more Grace [Power of the Holy Spirit] continually All day, Every day to those who believe, are meek and lowly in spirit and are humble-minded enough to receive It! Believest thou this? Receive His Gift of Grace Today In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name! Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! Gifts From God:
Wisdom From The Liberal God
Worship:
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, mighty He will save and he will rejoice over thee with joy He will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, mighty, mighty.
The Word:
For the Lord gives skillful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
- Prov. 2:6
If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to every one liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.
- James 1:5
Wisdom is not only a Gift From God, but The Word of God tells us that Jesus Is The Wisdom Of God! Receive His Word, treasure up His Commandments within you, make your ear attentive to skillful and godly Wisdom, incline your heart and mind to understanding, apply all your powers to the quest for it; cry out for insight, raise your voice for understanding, seek Wisdom as silver, search for skillful and godly Wisdom as for hid treasure; then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of [our omniscient] God. He hides aWay sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous - those who are upright and in right standing with Him; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity, That He may guard the paths of justice.
Yes, He preserves the Way of His saints.
[1 Sam. 2:9; Ps. 66:8, 9.]
Are you a saint of His? God Is A Giver of skills, Wisdom and from His Mouth (The Word Of The Lord) come knowledge and understanding!
Need a skill? God Is The Giver! Need godly Wisdom? Ask the Giving God Who Gives to EVERY ONE liberally and ungrudgingly! Think God is holding out on you? God Is A Liberal Giver! Believe and Receive! Wisdom is knowing what to do with All the knowledge God has Given YOU In His Holy Word and He has Given YOU His Holy Spirit, His Will, His Way and His Name to help you accomplish All He requires of YOU which is to do justly, to Love Mercy and to walk humbly with Thy God! "Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit", says the Lord!
We must endure until the end, be steadfast and let patience have full play and do it's thorough work within us, so that we will be fully developed In Christ, perfect people (be ye perfect as your Father In Heaven Is Perfect) and lacking in nothing? Our God shall supply All of our needs according to His riches In Glory and He "has" GIVEN us Everything we need to live our Life unto Him! Feeling deficient in Wisdom? Ask and you shall receive! Seek and ye shall find! Knock and the Door shall be opened unto you!
In Jesus we are without reproach (and above reproach), sinless, blameless, guilt free and no fault is found in us, because one drop of Jesus' Precious Blood can cleanse the vilest of stains. Though our sins be as scarlet He makes us whiter than snow!
Whatever is not done by Faith is sin according to Scripture, so we must approach God and ask Him In Faith. Who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith?
Jesus finds no fault in us and doesn't want us to waver, hesitate, doubt Him or His Word. All God's Promises are Yes and Amen In Him, so let us take Him at His Word instead of being tossed around, blown aWay and find ourselves riding the tide of the billowing surge out at sea. Let us take a stand, take what is ours, take the Gifts and Talents God has Given us and use them to fulfill His Purposes! Let us take the Promised Land He has Given us and go into all the World with the Love of God and the Good News of Jesus In His Holy and Precious Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! Gifts From God:
Repentance
Worship:
1 John 5:14, 15
And this is the confidence that we have in Him, That, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us:
And we know that we have the petitions
That we desire of Him.
The Word:
When they heard this they were quieted and made no further objection. And they glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentles repentance unto [real] life [after resurrection].
- Acts 11:18
What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding or calling it common or unhallowed or unclean, so who are we to argue with God? From Jerusalem to as far aWay as Phonicia and Antioch, the Word of God was going forth out of Zion according to the prophecies of old, but only to the Jews until Peter went to Caesarea and delivered the message concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God to the heathens. Any one who was not Jewish was a Gentile and considered unclean, defiled, profane, common, unhallowed, a dog and a heathen. Thank God for the Italians who called upon Our Heavenly Father In Prayer and were the first to receive "The Gift of Repentance" and Salvation in the Name Above All Names, Jesus!
If God "gave" the Gentiles the same Gift - The Lord Jesus Christ - [equally] as He "gave" the Jewish Believers In Jesus As Messiah then who was Peter, any of the Disciples or Apostles of God and who are we to interfere, hinder, forbid or withstand God? What power or authority does mankind have when it comes to dealing with the Things of God and the Ways of God?
Have you been listening to what I have had to say? When you hear the Truths of God's Holy Word are you quieted in your spirit? No further objections? Any questions? We are hear on planet Earth, "given" life by the "Giver" of Life Himself, Eternal Life, Everlasting Life, The Abundant Life (should we choose to accept The Gift) to glorify God! He has granted to All Nations and Peoples on this globe the Gift of Repentance unto [real] life [after resurrection].
The Lord inhabits the Praises of His People and we surely have much to Praise and Thank Him for! The Presence of the Lord Is With Us With Power to Believe, Adhere to, Trust In, Rely On Him, Turn (repent means to turn and think differently, to change your mind) and Surrender Ourselves To Him. God's Favor (His Grace) Is Bestowed Upon Us, He Fills Us With Joy, continuously exhorts, warns, urges, encourages us to cleave unto, remain Faithful (God Is Faithful and Jesus Never Fails :), devoted to the Lord with [resolute and steady] purpose of heart. God Is Good (All the time), leads us in His Will and Way by His Holy Spirit and Is the Author and Finisher of our Faith (Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God), so let us continue to assemble together In Jesus as they did in Antioch where the Disciples were first called Christians and may God inspire us to greatness and interpret His Divine Will and Purpose to us, because He wants us to prosper and contribute to the needy In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name! Amen.
God bless and Love for All,

Subject: March Special! Gifts From God:
Faith
Worship:
Galatians 2:20
It's no longer I that liveth but Christ that
liveth in me.
It's no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.
He lives, He lives, Jesus is alive in me!
It's no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.
The Word:
For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgement and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves - of your own doing, it came not through your own striving - but it is the gift of God;
Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. - It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.
- Ephesians 2:8, 9
For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ's sake not only to believe - adhere to, rely on and trust - in Him but also to suffer in His behalf.
- Philippians 1:29
God has "given All Believers, Everywhere joint seating with HIm - in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One to clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. For we are God's own handiwork, born anew that we may do those good works which God planned beforehand for us, taking paths which He prepared ahead of time that we should walk in them - living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live.
Are you living the "Good Life?" Once we were living apart from Christ, excluded, estranged, outlawed, strangers without hope - no promise; in the World without God, but now we have the Gift of Faith and Faith Is the substance, the evidence, the reality of everything we have ever hoped for or dreamed of which was unseen until God revealed it to us in our spirit, by His Holy Spirit! Jesus said, "No man, woman or child can come to the Father, but by Me!" He has "given" us this gift of grace (deliverance) In Him, Through Him (Christ Is the Author and Finisher of our Faith), salvation is not of ourselves, our own doing or striving, but Faith Is Of God, His Gift and found in None Other Than Jesus, God's One and Only Begotten Son, Who He "Gave" to this sick and dying World. There Is No Other Name By Which We MUST Be Saved (obtain Salvation)! Jesus Is The Saviour of the World!
God has Chosen us to be His People. We have not chosen Him! Jesus draws us unto Himself by the Ministry of His Holy Spirit and that is what leads us to repentance, so where is boasting, what have we done, how can we be prideful or take glory to ourselves? Like Paul the Apostle let us boast In the Lord Jesus, what He has done in fulfilling the Law and paying the debt owed for our sins!
He Alone Is Worthy of All Glory, Praise and Honor due His Holy and Precious Name!
Our Heavenly Father is not our heavenly genie, though He does "grant" us the privilege and honor (for Christ's sake) to Believe (by the Gift of Faith) In Him, but also to suffer in His behalf.
Let's face it, nobody likes suffering (there are some Churches and so called Christian Organizations who won't even touch the topic of it), but it builds up our perseverance and character. We are engaged in Spiritual Warfare and must lift up over all the armor of God the (covering) shield of saving Faith, upon which we can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. Quench not the Spirit of God nor any of the Talents and "Gifts From God" (especially Faith, because without It we can not please Him)! Conflict will come our Way as we wage war against the enemy In Jesus' Name, but we have the Victory, so don't for one moment be frightened or intimidated by your opponents and adversaries, because it is your constancy, fearlessness and Faith that will be a clear sign, proof and seal to them of their impending destruction.
Dwell In Christ by Faith, be strengthened, consoled and encouraged by what our relationship In Him affords, In Love and participate In the Holy Spirit, In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: Food And Raiment
Worship:
Philippians 2:10, 11
He is Lord, He is Lord
He has risen from the dead and He is Lord Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord.
The Word:
Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, and about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?
But seek for (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom, and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right], and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
- Matthew 6:25, 33
Don't worry, be happy? That's not necessarily what Jesus is saying to us here, because He goes on to tell us that tomorrow has enough worries and anxieties of its own and each day its own troubles. Rest assured that the storms of life will come, but if our foundation is The Rock (we're not talking Alcatraz or Prudential here), when we are rooted and grounded In His Holy Word and communing with the Our Heavenly Father (Jesus told the Disciples at Jacob's Well that He had meat to eat, food (nourishment) of which they knew nothing of and had no idea) then we shall eat of the Tree of Life and drink of God's Living Waters!
No one can serve two masters! Mammon [that is, deceitful riches, money, possessions or what is trusted in] are temporal, but God has promised to provide All of our needs according to His riches In Glory. We are worth more than the birds of the air (after All, God sent Jesus to die on the Cross to Redeem us) and Our Heavenly Father feeds them!
God knows All of our needs even before we ask Him to help us meet them and even the Gentiles (heathen), lost souls of this World wish for, crave and diligently seek after food, drink and clothing.
There is nothing wrong with money (it is the "love" of money that is the root of all evil), but temporal "things" obtained in a deceitful way cannot be trusted in or relied on, because this World is passing aWay and it is only the "Things" of God that matter in this life and the Life to come! Losing this "temporal" life is something we will all do one day regardless of what we try to do to prolong it, but if we lose it by choosing Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of our soul then we gain Eternal Life In His Precious Name, Our Life Is Hid In Him and when Christ Who Is Our Life appears, we shall also appear with Him In Glory!
So, stop worrying, be anxious for nothing, but pray and make your requests known before God's Throne of Grace and Mercy, because He Is Perfectly Willing and Able, In His Timing and Way to "Give" you All these "things" taken together and more besides. He Is Able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond All that you could ever ask or think! What do you think about that?
What do you wish for? What are you craving? What are you "really" seeking after? Jesus Is the Bread of Life, His Blood Cleanses us from All sin and unrighteousness, He Is the Way, Truth and Life Itself! He said, "I Am The Resurrection!" (Not I will resurrect you, but that our resurrection comes because we are In Him Who Is The Resurrection Itself!) and He Is the "Giver" of All Life!
All of Life is a Gift from God, so let us live it to the full, allowing Him to "give" us the Abundant Life, letting Him Use Each of Us to "give" our lives as living sacrifices and bringing Eternal Life to All Nations and Peoples In Jesus' Name!
Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: Rain And Fruitful Seasons
Worship:
Matthew 6:33; 7:7
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness:
And all these things shall be added unto you Hallelu, Hallelujah.
Ask and it shall be given you,
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and it shall be opened unto you
Hallelu, Hallelujah.
The Word:
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
- Genesis 8:22
And may God give you of the dew of the heavens and of the fatness of the earth and the abundance of grain and [new] wine:
Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you; be master over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. Let everyone be cursed who curses you, and favored with blessings who blesses you.
- Genesis 27:28, 29
If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field yield their fruit.
And your threshing [time] shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage [time] shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.
- Leviticus 26:3-5
Then will He give you rain for your seed with which you sow the soil, and bread grain as the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will feed in large pastures.
- Isaiah 30:23
Jesus says, "Unless a Grain (He likened Himself to a kernel of wheat) falls to the ground and dies, there shall be no Life!"
Paul the Apostle tells us, "I plant, another waters, but God brings the increase!"
Our Heavenly Father Is Our Provider! It Is He Who "gives" us the rain in due season (timing is everything [When the fullness of time came, God sent His Son into the World to save sinners.]), the very land upon which we stand, the seed to sow (God's Word) and like trees planted beside streams of Living Waters, rooted and grounded In Him, abiding In The Vine, In Jesus, as branches we shall yield fruit, lasting fruit unto Him and for the furtherance of His Kingdom!
I don't know about you, but I gladly welcome (as a matter of fact, I just might be the most welcomingest person when it comes to saying, "Hello!" to Spring and, "Good-bye!" to Winter) the coming of Spring and would take rain over snow any day (or as some people call it, "snop" which is a combination of snow and slop :), but until Jesus comes again to set up His Kingdom on Earth, the circle of Life (and we're not talking Lion King here) will continue 24/7, 365 1/4 days a year, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall! Let me say that the Scriptures mention seedtime and harvest, because everything in this life revolves around our sowing and reaping, hot and cold (of which Jesus warns us in our Spiritual Walk and relationship with Him not to be luke warm), day and night shall not cease (the Word of God is as clear as black and white that Jesus came to fulfill The Law and not abolish It) and heaven and Earth shall pass aWay, but God's Word shall not pass aWay, because It Is Eternal, Spirit and Life!
God has "given" us the Dew from Heaven, Anointed us with His Holy Spirit, the fatness of the earth (like we need more fatness :), the abundance of grain and new wine which is the Bread of Life, The Body of Christ Jesus (His Fullness, His Wholeness, His Joy, His Blessings, His Peace, Shalom) and His Precious Blood of the New Covenant that cleanses and purifies us from All sin and unrighteousness!
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ Is Lord of All Nations and Peoples! He became a curse for us by dying on the Cross of Calvary in our stead, so that through His Grace we can be a blessing to the World In His Name. No weapon formed against us shall prosper, but those who bless us shall be blessed in deed!
As we walk In His Will and Way according to His Holy Word (Jesus says, "If you Love Me, you'll keep My Commandments!"), He Will Anoint and Empower us from On High to Go into All the World and Preach The Gospel, because the fields are ripe unto harvest, the trees will yield their fruit and He Will Bring the Increase! There will be no down time, no dry periods, no lull or emptiness, but fullness and safety as we dwell In Him.
The Lord Reigns! Let the Earth Rejoice and Let God's People Be Glad!
Abraham's Seed, The Seed of Faith, God's Seed, The Author and Finisher of Our Faith, Jesus has been sown in the soil of our hearts. Manna! What Is It? The Bread From Heaven, "The Gift From God," The Bread of Life, born in Bethlehem, The House of Bread has been Resurrected from the ground, the tomb, the grave and produced the Abundant Life, Eternal Life, which is rich and plentiful beyond our wildest hopes, dreams and visions, so let us follow our Good Shepherd Into Greener Pastures In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: Wisdom, 2 Chr. 1:12
Worship:
Psalm 100:4
We will enter HIs gates with thanksgiving And into His courts with praise
Come before His presence with singing
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Father
Hallelujah to the Son
Hallelujah to the Spirit
Hallelujah to the Three in One
The Word:
Wisdom and knowledge are granted you, and I will give you riches, possessions, honor and glory, such as none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.
- 2 Chronicles 1:12
If God appeared to you tonight and said to you, "Ask what I shall "give" you." What would you say?
God has shown us great mercy (His Mercies Are New Every Morning), loving-kindness (which is better than Life) and has made us kings and priests unto Him! He has fulfilled all of His Promises In Christ and they are All Yes and Amen In Jesus to those who are In Him.
Ask and you shall receive, but what are you really asking for? Jesus Is the Wisdom of God and His Holy Spirit leads us into All Truth and Understanding, so what more could we possibly ask for?
What else do we need when Our God promises to supply All of our needs according to His Riches In Glory? God knows your heart and he knows your needs before you ask Him.
All the riches of this World will fade aWay someday and you can't take them with you when you go. You can not buy your Way into Heaven, because no amount of money will purchase your salvation for you. What good would it do for you to gain all the possessions in the World and lose your very soul? Honor and Glory belong to God Alone!
Presidents, Kings, Queens, Dignitaries, Diplomats, Princes, Princesses, Government Officials, Politicians, Priests, Chief Executive Officers of major, multi-mllion dollar corporations, Owner/Operators, Managers and the like (no matter what your title, position or status in this World) will be stripped of "self" and stand before Jesus on That Day to give an account of what they have done! What good will it do you to slip and slide up the corporate ladder while stepping on the bloody rungs from the people you killed, maimed or those whose lives you destroyed along the Way to being a working class hero? The Word of God is clear that physical exercise, healthy eating and drinking are good for you, but it is the Spiritual Realm that is of the utmost importance! Have you fed your body and mind, but not your soul?
The most perfect body will crumble and fall, the best of worldly educations will have you playing the fool compared to the Things of God, but God's Holy and Precious Word Is Spirit and Life to your Eternal Soul!
Ask for God's Wisdom and Knowledge and Our Heavenly Father Will Grant, Bestow and "Give" them unto you along with the Riches of Heaven, the Possession of His Holy Spirit which "gives" us all the "Gifts From God," Honor and Glory that we have to share as Joint Heirs With Christ, God's Chosen People, Children of the Most High God, Kings and Priests In Jesus' Name! There is no Equal to Him!
We can go boldly before God's Throne of Grace and Mercy, meet with Him, commune with Him Face to face and go forth from His Presence with the Power of His Holy Spirit In us and upon us to rule and reign over all the Earth with God's Wisdom and Knowledge In Jesus' Precious Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: Peace
Worship:
Revelation 4:8
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Blessing, honor, glory, and power
Be unto God, be unto God
Blessing, honor, glory, and power
Be unto God and to the Lamb forever
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
The Word:
I will give peace in the land; you shall lie down, and none shall fill you with dread or make you afraid; and I will clear ferocious (wild) beasts out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.
- Leviticus 26:6
Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon (peaceable), and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. [2 Sam. 12:24, 25.]
- 1 Chronicles 22:9
Only God can "give" True Peace to our soul, quiet the restless spirit of mankind and fill our hearts and minds with the Peace of God which passes all human understanding. There is no need of dread or fear on our part, because the Reverential Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom, Jesus Is the Wisdom of God, He Is Our Defense and we shall not be moved! Music may calm the savage beast, but God will clear them totally out of the Promised Land He has "given" us In Jesus' Name and in these days of turmoil in this present World we live in it is a comfort to know that the sword shall not go through our land, because no weapon formed against us shall prosper, but should we not be, being filled continually and continuously, our cup overflowing with God's Holy Spirit in our lives then we leave room for the enemy to get in and have a foothold.
Either Way, we must realize that we are daily in a Spiritual Battle, so we have to put on the full Armor of God, rightfully divide the Word of Truth and use the Sword of the Spirit which Is the Word of God skillfully and wisely!
And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
- Leviticus 26:7
AlWays know and understand that no matter how your day goes (or your entire Life), when all is said and done, you can lie down In Peace and take your rest In Him, because we "have" the Victory In Jesus, God has "given" It to us In His Name and He Is Our Peace!
King David shed much blood on the earth in God's sight, so the Word of the Lord came to him and said, "You have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name." It was "A Son" to be born in the line of David (the man after God's Own Heart and Jesus Is the Heart of God), a man of Peace Who would bring Rest from All His enemies; His Name shall be Peaceable and God Will "give" Peace and Quiet In His Day!
For to us A Child is born, to us A Son is "given"; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His Name shall be Called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father (of Eternity), Prince of Peace. [Luke 2:11; Matt. 28:18; Heb. 1:8; Eph. 5:14.]
- Isaiah 9:6
He Is A Priest Forever in the order of Melchizedek, King of Salem and Servant of the Most High God! Jesus Is the King of Kings, Prince of Peace (Salem means Peace) and Our High Priest Forever Who Knows and Understands our weaknesses, but in our weakness He shows His Strength. He overcame sin and death by rising from the grave and we overcome the World by His Resurrection Power Working In and Through Our Life In Him by the Ministry of His Holy Spirit!
Jesus said, "I Will Build My Church!" We are the Temple of the Living God, the House of God for His Name and the symbol of His Presence here on Earth, His Body, Living Stones, His Sons and Daughters, His Kings, a Royal Priesthood and He Is Our Father Who Art In Heaven (Hallowed Be His Name)! His Name Is Peace and He has "given" us His Peace In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: To Be Used And Enjoyed
Worship:
Numbers 14:21
But as truly as I live, all of the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
But as truly as I live, all of the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
The glory, the glory, the glory of the Lord.
But as truly as I live, all of the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
But as truly as I live, all of the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
The Word:
I know that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live;
And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor; it is the gift of God.
- Ecclesiastes 3:12, 13
Also every man to whom God has given riches and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his appointed lot and to rejoice in his toil, this is the gift of God to him.
For he shall not much remember [seriously] the days of his life, because God [Himself] answers and corresponds to the joy of his heart [the tranquility of God is mirrored in him].
- Ecclesiastes 5:19, 20
For everything God has created is good, and nothing is to be thrown away or refused if it is received with thanksgiving.
For it is hallowed and consecrated by the Word of God and by prayer.
- 1 Timothy 4:4, 5
Think your prayers don't count for much or the Bible is just a bunch of black and red ink printed on white paper? God created everything to be received with thanksgiving by us who believe and have (an increasingly clear) knowledge of the truth. Want to be a worthy steward and a good minister of Christ Jesus? Nourish your "self" on the truths of the Faith, of the good [Christian] instruction and lay all these instructions before the brethren.
When God created Everything in this World we live in, the entire Universe that surrounds us, Everything in it in six days and rested on the seventh He said, "It Is Good!" Absolutely Nothing is to be thrown aWay or refused if it is received in Thanksgiving, because it is Hallowed (Hallowed Be His Name), consecrated (set aside for His use and Glory) by the Word of God and by our prayers.
What is Life really all about? We are charged to not to be proud (pride comes before a fall), arrogant or contemptuous of others, nor to set our hopes on uncertain riches but On God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment (He has "given" us Everything to live our Life Unto Him); to do good, be rich in Good Works (which have been prepared for us In Christ Jesus before the foundation of the World), to be liberal and generous-hearted, ready to share [with others], laying up for ourselves [the riches that endure forever] a good foundation for the future (Christ Is Our Sure Foundation Throughout All Eternity), so that we may grasp that which Is Life Indeed! Guard and Keep "The Deposit" (God's Holy Spirit) entrusted [to you]!
We all eat and drink, but do we find enjoyment in all the labor in which we labor under the sun (we labor in this field of Life Under The Son, Jesus) all the days which God "gives" us, for this is our (allotted) part. Are you doing your part?
This Is The Gift of God to you! He has "given" you the riches of His Glory, You Possess His Holy Spirit and He Possesses you, by His Power, His Grace, so be filled with Joy, accept the fullness of Life In Jesus' Name that He has allotted to you, Rejoice and Be Glad in your toils, because your labor is not in vain and this life is but a breath. Now we see in part and know in part, but as much as we have the Peace of God which far surpasses all of our human understanding, ruling and reigning in our hearts, minds and souls In Christ Jesus Today, when we go home to be with Him In Glory we shall not much remember [seriously] the days of this life here on Earth, because God [Himself] will answer all of our questions and concerns fully and we will be satisfied In Him! Is the Peace of God, His Tranquility mirrored in your Life? The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength and as we delight ourselves In Him, He Will "Give" us the Desires of Our Hearts, Minds and Souls (Here and Now) In Jesus' Name!
God "has made" Everything Beautiful In It's Time; He's planted eternity in our hearts and minds [a sense of a divine purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun, but only God, can satisfy (under the Lordship of His Son, Jesus)]. There is nothing better than to Rejoice and be Glad In Him, to get whatever it is that He has to "give" you and to "give" unto others, to do all the Good that He has created you for (bring the Good News of God and the Love of Jesus to All Nations and Peoples) as long as you live; eat His Flesh, drink His Blood and enjoy the Good of All the Labors He has Called you to do In His Fields which are white unto harvest! This Is The Gift Of God Unto You In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Subject: Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal: Should Cause Us To Remember God
Worship:
Peace Like A River
1) I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
2) I've got joy like a fountain
3) I've got love like an ocean
4)ALL THREE
The Word:
But you shall (earnestly) remember the Lord your God; for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as at this day.
- Deuteronomy 8:18
Our Heavenly Father "gives" us Power to get wealth! Oh, how I have heard countless prosperity preachers and teachers speak forth this Word of God and also name it and claim it to be their own. The Truth of the matter is that This Portion of Scripture Is For the Church Today (before you jump down my throat, let's take God's Word for what It Really Is, His Holy Word, Precious and True).
How do you remember the Lord? If He truly is living inside you in the Person of the Holy Spirit then it's kind of hard to forget that He's there, but sometimes we do get down and out, suppress the Spirit with our unbelief and quench His Fire that attempts to spark a flame to our conscience and quicken our heart, mind and soul to dwell On Him and not the circumstances that so easily beset us.
According to This Word Today, we are to "earnestly" remember Him (diligently seek His Face), commune and fellowship with Him.
Jesus says, "Do This in remembrance of Me!"
Do what? Celebrate! Celebrate what?
Christ, Our Passover Lamb! It is the Feast of Passover, The Lord's Supper, The Last Supper, Communion, The Breaking of Bread and Drinking of Wine that brings Jesus to us when we partake of His Body and Cleansing Blood. If 2 or 3 of us are gathered In His Name then He Promises to Be In Our Midst and touching "anything" in agreement, In His Name, we shall have what we ask!
Believest thou this?
(Sometimes, you just can't beat the King James Version of the Bible!)
Unfortunately, many of us (including myself) can relate to the father who exclaimed to Jesus, "Lord, I Believer!
Help my unbelief!" The Word of God tells us that we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities, yet many times we wrestle within ourselves rather than prevailing with God and man. Ask and you shall receive, Believe and receive! It's All about Faith! Have you asked for the Holy Spirit to fill you up to overflowing? Then Believe, because it is God Who "gives" you His Holy Spirit, the Power of God In your Life to obtain All of your needs (according to His Riches In Glory)!
God wants to "establish" you as His Representative, an Ambassador for Christ here on Earth! So, Mr. and Mrs. Ambassador, "How are you doing in your new position?" We are Called of God to bring the New Covenant of His, which was "established" In the Blood of Jesus to All Nations and Peoples around the World! Did you know that God swears?
Yes, He does, with uplifted hand and by His Name, which Is Above All others! He swore to our forefathers and He "gives" you His Word Today, because His Word Is Faithful and True, God Never Changes, He Is the Same, Yesterday, Today and Forever!
WARNING:
Beware that you do not say in your mind and heart that your own power and the might of your own hand has gotten you whatever wealth you have obtained in this present World we live in. Apart from Him we can do NOTHING! It Is He Alone Who "gives" us the Breath of Life, our eyes to see, ears to hear, voice to speak, hands to touch, feet to stand and walk, minds to think, hearts to Love, our spirit to commune and fellowship with Him and His Holy Spirit Power In Our Life that enables us to Dwell In Him, Abide In Him as The Vine and we as branches can bear fruit, lasting fruit In His Name! All Good Things Come down from God Above!
Do not forget the Lord Your God, walk after other gods, serve them or worship them or you will surely perish!
Remember the Lord Your God, Walk In His Will and Way according to His Holy and Precious Word, Serve Him with All Your Heart, Mind, Soul, Spirit and Strength, Worship Him In Spirit and Truth, Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving In Your Hearts and His Courts With Praise, for In Him we "have" All the Riches and Wealth of Heaven and Life Eternal In Jesus' Name. Amen.

To Him Who gives food to all flesh, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
- Psalm 136:25
The eyes of all wait for You - looking, watching and expecting; and You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand, and satisfy every living thing with favor.
- Psalm 145:15, 16
Psalm 136 opens, exclaims throughout and closes with,
O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
O give thanks to the God of gods, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
O give thanks to the God of Heaven, for His mercy and loving-kindness endures forever!
- Psalm 136:1, 2, 26
Because the Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases and His Mercies Never Come to An End, we should "GIVE" All Glory, Honor and Power to His Holy and Precious Name! They are New Every Morning, New Every Morning, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, O Lord, Great Is Thy Faithfulness! God Is Faithful and Jesus Never, Ever Fails to "give" food to All flesh (He has also poured out His Holy Spirit Upon All Flesh) and surely God's Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow us All the days of Our Life In Him! Our Heavenly Father Never, Ever "gives" up on us (no matter what), Never Loses Faith In us, Is AlWays Hopeful that we will be Obedient to the Call and His Love for us Endures Forever and Ever, so you can put your Complete and Total Trust in Him, His Word, His Will and his Way!
Jesus has rescued us from our enemies, saved us from sin and death, so that we can overcome this present World that we live in and have the Victory In His Name!
For All that He has "given" us, we in return should "give" Him Thanksgiving and Praise, for He Is Worthy!
Holy, Holy, Holy Is The Lord God Almighty (Omnipotent), Who Was And Who Is And Who Is To Come!
Holy, Holy, Holy, Is The Lord Of Hosts;
The Whole earth Is Full Of His Glory!
Thank God that He upholds All of His Own who are falling, and raises up All Those who are bowed down. Humble yourself in the Sight of the Lord and He Will Lift you up! Come and Adore Him, Bow down before him, Come and Sing Praises to Jesus Our Lord! He "gives" us food to eat, The Bread From Heaven, The Bread Of Life, His Holy Word Which Brings Life Eternal to our souls and others. The Lord Is [rigidly] Righteous In All His Ways, Gracious and Merciful In All His Works, so if we "are" In Him then we "are" In His Righteousness, In Jesus, Who Is The Way, His Way, His Grace Is Sufficient for us, He's Merciful "In" All His Works (we "are" His Workmanship Created In Christ Jesus for Good Works Unto Him), Christ In us by the Holy Spirit Is Our Hope Of Glory and Hope will not disappoint us!
Are your eyes Looking Unto Jesus, Watching and Waiting for His Soon Return, Expecting Him to Provide your every need according to His Riches In Glory? He Opens His Hands to you Today (each and every day) to satisfy you with His Grace, His Favor. Will you Extol the Lord, Your God, Your King; and will you Bless His Holy Name for ever and ever - with grateful, affectionate praise for All that He has "given" you, bestowed upon you (using All the Gifts and Talents He has Blessed you with to further His Kingdom)? My mouth shall speak the Praise of the Lord, and let All flesh Bless - affectionately and gratefully praise - His Holy Name for ever and ever, because He "gives" us our food in due season, In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Worship:
Colossians 3:1-3
If ye then be risen with Christ
Seek those things which are above
Where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
Set you affections on things above, not on things of the earth For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.
The Word:
ASK of the Lord rain in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings, which usher in the rain and give men showers of it, to every one grass in the field.
- Zechariah 10:1
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven left, remitted and let go the debts, and given up resentment against [Webster for "forgive."]) our debtors.
- Matthew 6:11, 12
God "gives" us showers, our daily bread, for "gives" us our debts, as we also for "give" others and have "given" up resentment against them. Now, where exactly do you stand? Ask of the Lord Jesus and you shall receive, for He Will pour out His Blessings upon you as you are obedient to His Word, Will and Way.
April showers bring May flowers and as surely as Jesus came to this Earth nearly 2000 years ago, He Will Come Again in the clouds and His Lightning will split the eastern skies, so that every eye shall see Him In All of His Glory and Splendor.
They will look on Him Whom they have pierced! Our Heavenly Father "gives" us The Bread of Life, The Holy Word of God, daily to lead us beside the still waters and into greener pastures. Jesus died on the Cross to pay our debt of sin, so how much more should we forgive others as God has forgiven us In Christ, cancelled our debt and cast our sins into His Sea of Forgetfullness, separated them from us as far as the east is to the west, never to be remembered any more or held against us?
How Great Is God's Goodness and Beauty and how Great He Will Make Our Goodliness and Our Beauty In Him! Every grain of His Holy Word shall make men thrive and each drop of fresh wine, His Precious Blood the maidens.
Household idols speak vanity, emptiness, falsity and futility - diviners see lies and dreamers tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people go their way like sheep, they are afflicted and hurt because there is no shepherd, but God Remembers (Zechariah means, God Remembers)! He rained down Manna From Heaven, The Bread From Heaven, Jesus Himself to the fields which are ripe unto harvest, so that He could usher us into Heaven!
Yes! We "are" All like sheep that have gone astray, without a shepherd, but God sent The Good Shepherd to gather All that are scattered, so that we would go His Way, He carries us and brings healing to our heart, mind, soul, spirit and strength! God has spoken to us Today In and Through His Son, Jesus! He pours out His Holy Spirit from Heaven upon us to fill us to overflowing, to bring Truth and Justice to All Nations and Peoples, to open up our Spiritual Eyes to See Wonderful Things In His Word, to dream His Dreams, to see His Visions and to comfort the comfortless (It Is The Comforter [God's Holy Spirit] In Us that Is The Hope of Glory for us and others)!
When we pray, "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth as It Is In Heaven!" Do we do our part here on Earth to further His Kingdom? Whatever He "gives" to us is for us to turn around and "give" to others. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, so why not take all of the Gifts and Talents He's bestowed upon you and invest them into the lives of others? Being fed your daily Bread In the Word of God? Then, go and feed others! Is your debt cancelled?
Then, go and tell the rest of the World that their sins are forgiven In Christ Jesus too and by Faith In HIm they can "have" Eternal Life In His Holy and Precious Name! He will lead you where He wants you to go and who He wants you to go to. Delight yourself In the Lord, He Will "give" you the desires of your heart and bring you to your desired haven! God will deliver us from temptation and the evil one, because we "are" His People, The Sheep of His Hand and His Is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory both Now and Forever In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: Unclassified Scriptures Relating To Both Temporal And Spiritual Gifts
Worship:
Psalm 72:18, 19
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel Who only doeth wondrous things
Who only doeth wondrous things
And blessed be His glorious name forever And let the whole earth be filled with His glory:
Amen, amen, amen, and amen.
The Word:
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
- Psa. 4:7
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.
- Psa. 21:2
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
- Psa. 34:10
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; 35. The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. Psa. 29:11.
- Psa. 68:18
For the Lord is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
- Psa. 84:11
When I worked in radio over a decade ago we had P.S.A.s (Public Service Announcements) that we would broadcast for free to our listeners, but Today we are sending out PSA.s (Psalms) to All who have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to All Nations and Peoples everywhere around the World!
Our Heavenly Father, God "gives" us our heart's desire, Strength, Power, His Grace and Glory In Jesus! Jesus Is The Light of the World and He Shines His Ever-Loving Light On us, He Smiles Upon us, "gives" us His Peace (Shalom), so that we can lie down, take our rest In Him, dwell in His safety and confident Trust! As Believers In Christ as Messiah, He puts more Joy and Rejoicing in our hearts than this present World we live in would ever or could ever come to know apart from Him. God Is the Strength of Our Hearts and Our Portion Forever!
Greater than the natural wheat and new wine harvest of the most fortunate farmer, we yield the Abundant Life through Jesus' Body and Blood!
King David rejoiced In God's Strength, In His Salvation, for he "knew" that All Good Things came down From God out of Heaven and not only was he crowned with a crown of pure gold on his head, but the Blessings of God! Selah [pause, and think of that]! Our Heavenly Father Will Not withhold the request of His Beloved Children's lips, but will "give" you your heart's desire as you diligently seek Him, His Word, Will and Way!
The Lord Is My Shepherd (The Good Shepherd), I shall not want. Listen!
Saints, "There is no want to those who truly revere, worship (In Spirit and Truth) and fear the Lord Their God with godly fear." The Spirit and The Bride say, "Come!" Children of The Most High God, It Is The Holy Spirit that will teach us to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord. He will lead and guide us into All Truth and Understanding! They who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on authority of His Word] shall lack no beneficial thing!
The Kingdom of God is among us! The Kingdom of God is within us! The Son has come to dwell in our hearts and minds. We "are" the Temple of The Living God. Jesus Is Seated at the Right Hand of God The Father, He Has Ascended On High, Poured Out His Holy Spirit Upon All Flesh and has "given" us Gifts and Talents to set the captives free, vanquish our foes, overcome the World and bring Life In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name!
He bears our burdens and carries us day by day. O, Dear Lord, Three things I pray:
To See Thee more clearly, Love Thee more dearly and Follow Thee more nearly day by day! Behold, God Is Our Salvation! Trust In Him and Fear Not, for He Is With us AlWays, even unto the end of the age. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever!
WILL YOU extol Him? He has lifted us up and will not let our foes rejoice over us!
As a matter of fact, He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies and His Banner (His Standard) over us Is Love! Jesus "gives" unyielding and impenetrable strength to His People and blesses us with His Peace.
When I first became a Believer I was an usher in the Church and this particular Scripture has alWays touched my heart:
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I had rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of the wicked.
- Psalm 84:10
I also have a painting that my parents gave me of a young boy sitting alone on a hill over looking a Church in the valley and the inscription says, "I would rather be alone with God than in a crowd without Him."
The Lord God is a sun (The Son) and shield; He "bestows," "gives" [present] Grace, His Favor and [future] Glory - Honor, Splendor and Heavenly Bliss!
Feeling Blissful yet? No Good Thing Will He Withhold from those who walk uprightly. Want to be Blessed of God - Happy (Joyful), Fortunate and Envied?
Trust In Jesus, (Lean [on the Ever-Lasting Arms] and Believe On Him, Commit All and Confidently Look Unto Him [Who Is The Author and Finisher of Your Faith] and do it All without fear or misgiving) In Jesus' Name! Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal And Spiritual: Eccl. 2:26
Worship:
Ephesians 3:21
Unto Him be glory in the church
Both now and evermore.
Unto HIm be glory in the church
Both now and evermore.
Unto Him, unto Him, unto, Him, unto Him.
Unto Him be glory in the church
Both now and evermore.
The Word:
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
- Eccl. 2:26
King Solomon asked, "For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment any more than I - apart from Him?" Jesus recognized the unprecedented glory which Solomon's human wisdom had brought him, but He said that Solomon arrayed in all of it was not equal in glory to one tiny lily of the field - which God's wisdom had made. (Matt. 6:29). Apart from Him we can do nothing! He Is the Vine and we are the branch! In order for us to bear any good and lasting fruit for His Kingdom in this Life we must abide In Jesus according to His Word, Will and Way!
TO everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.
[Heb. 9:27.]
- Ecclesiastes 3:1, 2
You have All heard me say this before, but it needs to be said again here and now, "Timing Is Everything!" When the fullness of "time" had come, God sent His Son (His One and Only Begotten), Jesus into the World to save sinners (such as you and I)! You might just want to pause and take a quick break here to read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 while you listen to the 1960's song, "Turn, Turn, Turn" running through your brain. We live in a "time" of great turmoil.
A "time" to Love, a "time" to hate; a "time" of war, and a "time" of Peace.
[Luke 14:26.]
- Ecclesiastes 3:8
It is the Love of God shed abroad in our hearts that restrains us and His Peace that passes All human understanding that rules and reigns deep within our minds and souls! We Love God, because he first Loved us. He "gives" us His Wisdom, His Knowledge and His Joy, because In Jesus, He Sees us Holy, Righteous, Blameless, Sinless, Just, Pure and "This" Pleases Him! He wrote this Love Letter called The Bible, The Word of God to YOU, so that you may Know Him, Know that you have Eternal Life In Jesus' Name, Receive the Wisdom of God (Who Is Christ) and live In Joy!
What of the sinner? We have All sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God, but He has provide the Way out! Jesus Is The Way! You don't have to collect the wages for your sin, which is death, but you can "have" the "Gift of God," which is Eternal Life In Christ! Just as the Saint of God has Works that have been created for them to do In Christ Jesus before the foundations of this World were laid, so also the sinner is "given" by God the work of gathering and heaping up, that he (the sinner) may "give" to one (the Saint) who pleases God. Who are you working for? Is All of your labor in vain, empty, going nowhere? Are you striving for every "thing" and obtaining no "thing," chasing after the wind and feeding on nothingness? It is All Too True that you reap what you sow (no matter what it is you are sowing)! Whatever is done within this World we live in will fade aWay someday regardless of how hard you try to hold on to it, but those things that are done for God, In Christ by the leading and guiding of His Holy Spirit will last Forever!
Where your heart is, there your treasure will be and I hope as Christians, each of us is storing up for ourselves treasures In Heaven where moth cannot eat or rust corrupt. Let us take All the Wisdom, Knowledge and Joy the Lord has "given" us (All the Gifts and Talents He has Bestowed Upon us) to gather up All that are scattered and build up the Kingdom of God! I can assure you that our labor is not in vain, our striving in the things of God will draw us closer to Him and He Will Draw Closer to Us, His Rushing Wind, The Holy Spirit, The Breath Of God will blow through this Temple (your body "is" the Temple of the Living God and we "are" The Body of Christ on this Earth) and as we feed on His Holy and Precious Word, which "Is" Spirit and Life (Eternal) we shall go forward In Him and change hearts and lives In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal And Spiritual: Isaiah 42:5-7
Worship:
Leviticus 27:24
This is the year of the Jubilee;
This is the year of the Jubilee,
When all the captives are set free.
Come ye halt, ye blind, ye maimed,
Leap and shout for joy again.
This is the year of the Jubilee.
The Word:
Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
I the Lord have called You, the Messiah, for a righteous purpose and in righteousness; I have taken You by the hand and have kept You; I have given You for a covenant to the people [Israel], for a light to the nations;
To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness from the prison. [Matt. 12:18-21.]
- Isaiah 42:5-7
Jesus Is The Fulfillment of All that was spoken by the Prophets Of God. He Is The Living Word, God's Spoken And Written Word Who Came From Heaven To Earth And Became Human Flesh (Wholly [Holy] God & Wholly [Holy] Man)! As He Is On This Earth, So "Are" We! God's Servant Whom He Has Chosen, His Beloved In And With Whom His Soul Is Well Pleased And Has Found It's Delight.
He Has Put His Spirit Upon Us, and we are to proclaim and show forth judgement to the nations In Jesus' Name!
We don't have to strive or wrangle or cry out loudly, because the battle is the Lord's and we "have" the Victory In Jesus! No one will hear His Voice in the streets, but He Will Speak to His Own with His Still, Small Voice In The Spirit of the man, woman, or child who will listen and take heed to His Call. A bruised reed He will not break, but as He did with Peter, God will make a reed swaying in the breeze a Rock! A smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, because He has Come to set our hearts on fire with His Holy Spirit and fill us with Zeal for His House, so that we will let our Light Shine in the darkness of this present World we live in until the Full Light of Day when Jesus brings Justice and a Just Cause to Victory!
In and On His Name Alone, All Peoples are to set their Hopes! Bring the blind and dumb man to Jesus, and He Will Cure Him, so that he may both see and speak. Open our eyes Lord, so that we may see Wonderful and Marvelous Things In Your Holy and Precious Word! Loose our tongues and anoint our lips, so that we might speak forth the Things Of God With Your Power to Change hearts and minds!
Are you a Servant of the Most High God?
He Will Uphold you. You "are" His Elect, He "has" Chosen you to "be" His Own and His Soul Delights In You (Yes, YOU)!
His Holy Spirit Is Upon and In you to bring forth justice, right and reveal Truth to the nations. Jesus fulfilled All Righteousness - that is, He performed completely whatever was right when He was baptized. The Heavens were opened, the Spirit of God descended upon Him and God said, "This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I delight!" [Ps. 2:7; Isa. 42:1.] Now we "are" Righteous In Him before Our Heavenly Father as well, His Children, His Beloved Bride of Christ and He Delights In Us!
We are each called to hopefully wait for and expect His direction and law. He will not fail or become weak, or be crushed and discouraged (and neither should we) till He has established justice in the earth, and the islands and coastal regions. Nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children.
Though we and All Creation moan in the pains of labor, we now "have" and enjoy the first fruits of the Holy Spirit - a foretaste of the blissful things to come - as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's Sons and Daughters). This Is Our Hope and Hope will not disappoint us! the Holy Spirit of God in our Life comes to our aid, bears us up in our weakness (when we are weak, He Is Strong), but the Spirit Himself (The Holy Spirit Is A "Person" [The Third "Person" Within The Trinity Of God] and is not just another "power or force" to be reckoned with) goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearning and groanings too deep or utterance.
God has "given" us breath for life and The Breath Of Life Itself, His Holy Spirit, Jesus for a Covenant and Light To The Nations and He has Called us to Great Things In Him. He Is The Lord; That Is His Name, and His Glory He will not give to another, nor His Praise to graven images, so let us go forward In Him to accomplish His Righteous Purposes! The former things have come to pass and new things He now declares to us; before they spring forth He tells us of them. Sing a New Song [a song such as has never been heard in the heathen world], and His Praises from the end of the Earth! Lift up your voices, sing and shout from the top of the mountains In Jesus' Name! Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: Ezek. 11:19, 20
Worship:
Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear, Of whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my strength, the strength of my life, Of whom then shall I be afraid?
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear, Of whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Word:
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
That they may walk in My statutes, and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
- Ezekiel 11:19, 20
Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will "give" back to you the land of Israel. When we return to God as His Chosen Ones, He wants us to take aWay all traces of detestable things, abominations, sexual impurities and heathen religious practices from our own personal lives and the land in which we live in.
We are called together In God to be "One" with Him In Christ and In The Unity of His Holy Spirit! Only God can "give" us one heart - new heart
- and put a new spirit (His Holy Spirit) within us! He Alone takes our stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of our flesh (our own personal selfishness) and He "gives" us a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the Touch of Our God]; [Ezek. 18:31; 36:26; 2 Cor. 3:3.], so that each and every one of us can Walk In His Will and Way according to His Holy Word! Jesus says, "If you Love Me, you'll obey My Commandments!" Obedience brings blessing!
Should your heart yearn for and go after detestable things, loathsome abominations [associated with idolatry], God will repay your deeds upon your own heads. The wages of sin is death, but the "Gift of God" Is Eternal Life In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name! The choice is yours. Jesus came into this World we live in to save sinners, not condemn them.
We condemn ourselves when we choose not to accept His sacrifice upon the Cross of Calvary and receive redemption In His Name! He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you Today! This Is the Day of Salvation! Today if you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts! The Son has come to dwell in your hearts. He wants to Touch you, Heal you, Restore you to Communion and Fellowship with Your Heavenly Father! Everything will be made New In Jesus and the old things shall pass aWay Forever! His Holy Spirit will comfort you, lead you, guide you, protect you and most of all, fill you with His Love!
Make a conscious decision to walk with God Today and Everyday of your Life In Him from here on out, into All Eternity!
It's an act of Faith, His Statutes are sure, His Ordinances are pure and as we "do" them we shall be His People and He Will Be Our God! He has "given" us a new heart, a new Life In Christ, filled with His Holy Spirit, sensitive and responsive to His Touch, so that we can Love Him, each other and our neighbor as ourselves. Let's show the World how "Giving" Our God Is In Jesus' Name.
Amen.

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal And Spiritual: Dan. 2:21-23
Worship:
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
1. When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt over all my pride
2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
The Word:
He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
He revealeth the deep and secret things:
he knoweth what is in the darkness, and light dwelleth with him.
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
- Dan. 2:21-23
Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord Forever And Ever, For Wisdom And Might Are His and He "gives wisdom, knowledge and might to us, reveals deep and secret things, makes known to us what we desire of Him (Jesus Is Our Hearts Desire) and the Kings' Matter (the things that really matter to God)! Though the times and the seasons change, God Never Changes, In Him there is no shadow or darkness, for He Is Pure and Holy Light, Beyond Light! The Heart of God has been revealed to the World In Christ. The Light of Life came to Earth to dispel the darkness. Open our eyes, Lord, so that we might see the Vision of His Glory, The Revelation of Jesus Christ In Us and Know His Resurrection Power Working In and Through Our Life!
We "have" the Secret of the Sweet, Satisfying Companionship of the Lord, because we Fear (The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Wisdom), Revere, Worship Him In Spirit and Truth, He shows us His Covenant and reveals to us its deep, inner meaning. [John 7:17; 15:15.] We are told by Jesus to go to our private room, close the door, pray to Our Heavenly Father Who Is In Secret; and He Who Sees In Secret Will Reward Us In The Open!
Welcome to the Secret Places of the Most High! It is no secret what God can do (or what He Will Do on behalf of His People Who Call Upon Him) and what He's done for others, He'll do for you. With His arms wide open, He has pardoned us In Jesus!
Thank Him! Praise Him!
He has "given" us His Wisdom, Knowledge, Might and Holy Spirit Power to Go, Do and Be All that He requires of us (Everything we need to live our Life unto Him)! Delight yourself In Him and He Will "give' you the desires of your heart! Whatever problems come your way, He Will make known to you the solution and when tempted or tested, He AlWays provides the Way out.
What really matters to God? He wishes that none would perish and that All would come to repentance In Christ! We know what He requires of us, to do justly, to Love Mercy and to Walk Humbly with Our God! Let us take All the Gifts and Talents that He has bestowed on us, "given" us and be about Our Heavenly Father's affairs In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Subject: Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: Matt. 11:28; 25:14-30
Worship:
Isaiah 43:18-21
Remember not the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new new thing
And shall it not spring forth;
For I will ever make a way,
A way in the wilderness;
I will make a way for my people,
To give drink to my chosen ones.
Chorus:
And rivers, and rivers,
And rivers shall flow in the desert;
And rivers of waters shall flow in the wilderness.
For I have formed Myself a people;
And they shall show forth my praise
Behold I will do a new thing,
Even now it shall be made plain.
Repeat Chorus
The Word:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- Matt. 11:28
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. vs. 14-30.
- Matt. 25:14, 15
God never, ever "gives" us anything beyond what we can bear, handle or deal with, whether it is tests, trials, tribulations, temptations or even the very "Gifts From God" that He bestows upon us to use for His Glory according to our own God "given" abilities. Once again God confirms His leading and guiding us through this study as just last night I was discussing the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God, but we will leave the details of that conversation for another study at another time. Today, let us listen to what the Spirit is saying to us in regards to God "giving" us rest, delivering unto us His Goods and how He "gave" each and every one of us as His Servants Talents according to our "several" abilities. Yes, you do have several abilities according to the Word of God and after all, who are we to argue when we know that Our Heavenly Father Knows Best?
The Kingdom of Heaven, God In Christ Jesus came to this far country known as Earth, redeemed us unto Himself as His Own, delivered us from evil, sin and death, "gave" Gifts and Talents unto All men and straightWay took His journey back to Heaven where He Poured out His Holy Spirit Upon All Flesh and Is Now Seated at the Right Hand of God!
No one can fully know and accurately understand the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son deliberately wills to make Him known. Jesus Is the Revelation of God to mankind, He has come to reveal the Father and His Love to All Nations and Peoples! All who are overburdened, He will cause to rest - Jesus Alone will ease, relieve and refresh our souls.
Take His yolk upon you, learn of Him; He Is Gentle (Meek), Humble (Lowly) In Heart, and you will find recreation and blessed quiet. His yolk is wholesome (useful, good) - not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious and pleasant; and His burden is light and easy to be borne.
Just as Jesus came and went before, He reminds us that He Will Come Again SOON and we are to watch - give strict attention, be cautious and active - for we know not the day nor the hour of His Return. He has entrusted us with His World and He wants us to reach It with His Love and Good News of Salvation for All who would come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior! He wants you to invest the Gifts and Talents He has "given" you to get a good return on your investment and not to just dig a whole in the ground and hide. You are supposed to be a city on a hill, shining out over the valley of the shadow of death, chasing aWay the darkness and revealing the Light of the World. Do any of you have a light under your bed?
Sooner or later we are All going to have to "give" an account to God and answer to Him about how we used the Gifts and Talents He has "given" us. Will you hear him say, "Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and Faithful Servant!"? If we are Faithful and Trustworthy to Him as He Is To Us then we will enter into and share the joy - the delight and the blessedness - that Our Master [Enjoys].
Do you view God as harsh, hard, reaping where He does not sow, gathering where He did not winnow [the grain]; are you afraid of Him? What a wicked thought!
Wake up to reality! God sent His One and Only Begotten Son, Jesus to die on the Cross for you, so that you wouldn't rot and burn in hell (which was only made for the devil and his fallen angels who rebelled against God) for all eternity!
Don't be a lazy and idle servant! Show an interest in God's Word, Will and Way, invest that which He has "given" you and be furnished richly, so that you will have abundance, the Abundant Life In Christ Jesus!
When Jesus comes again He will separate the sheep from the goats, All Nations shall be gathered before Him, the favored of God (those at His Right Hand) shall be appointed to eternal salvation, inherit - receive as their own - the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world, but the cursed (those at His Left Hand) shall be told by Him, "Be Gone From Me, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!"
Will you use the "Gifts From God," His Talents that He's so Graciously "given" you to feed the hungry, "give" drink to the thirsty, bring, welcome, entertain and lodge the stranger, clothe the naked, visit, help and minister care to the sick or go to see the prisoner? Whatever you do to the least [in the estimation of men] of the brethren, you do it to Jesus! Let's do what is just, upright and in right standing according to the Word of God, enter into Eternal Life and invest the Talents He has "given" us to reap a tremendous Harvest for the Kingdom of God In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name! Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: John 6:27; 16:23, 24; 17:22, 23
Worship:
Psalm 40:16
Let all those that see there rejoice and be glad Rejoice and be glad in thee (repeat)
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice and be glad in thee Let such as love thy salvation say continually Let God be magnified
Let God be magnified.
The Word:
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
- John 6:27
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
- John16:23, 24
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me, and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.
- John 17:22, 23
What are you laboring for? What is your labor of Love? Jesus "gives" us meat that endures unto Everlasting Life, Eternal Life In Him! We don't have to ask anything of Him, but can go boldly before God's Throne of Grace and Mercy to ask whatsoever In Jesus' Name and He will "give" it to us! All the Glory of Heaven that God The Father "gave" to Jesus here on Earth, He has bestowed, "given" to us, because God, Our Heavenly Father Loves us just as much as He Loves His One and Only Begotten Son, Jesus!
Why have you been searching after Jesus? For miracles, signs or because you are fed with the Bread from Heaven, filled and satisfied? What are we to do that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? - What are we to do to carry out what God requires? Jesus says, "This is the work (service) that God asks of you, that you believe in the One Whom He has sent - that you cleave to, trust, rely on and have faith in His Messenger."
Stop toiling, doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes in the using; but strive, work and produce rather for the lasting food which endures continually unto life eternal. His Word Is Spirit and Life! The Son of man will (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement on Him. Our Heavenly Father has also sealed us unto the Day of Redemption with His Holy Spirit with the authority of Jesus' Name, certified us to do Good Works In Christ and He has "given" us His Word of Endorsement!
Are you in sorrow - in distress or depressed?
Jesus is here! Let your heart Rejoice, and no one can take from you your Joy (Gladness, Delight). He spoke to the World in parables (veiled language, allegories, dark sayings), but the hour has now come when He tells us about the Father in plain words and openly - without reserve. He "gives" us His Assurance (Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine. O what a foretaste of Glory Divine!) that whatever we ask The Father In His Name [presenting All that He Is], God Will Grant us! Jesus says, "Ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete."
The True "Lord's Prayer" is found in John 17 where Jesus prays for All who would come to Believe In Him through the words and teachings of other Believers, so that we would be "One" [just] as He and The Father Are One and that the World would believe and be convinced that God had sent Jesus to redeem them from sin and death! Jesus desired that we [God's "gift" to Him] would be with Him, see His Glory, which God had "given" Him - [God's Love "gift" to Him] - for God loved Him before the foundation of the World. Are we "One" In Him?
Are we perfectly united In Jesus? This is the Way that the World will know and [definitely] recognize that God sent Him, and that God Loves us [even] as He Loved Jesus! His Name, Character and God's Very Self, the Holy Spirit will continue to make known to us, that the Love which God has bestowed upon Jesus may be In us - felt in our hearts - and that Jesus Himself may be In us which Is The Hope Of Glory, The Hope of Israel and The Hope of The World! Let's take the Love of God and Good News, The Gospel of Christ to All Nations and Peoples In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: "Gifts/God" Temporal/Spiritual:Rom. 5:16-18; 6:23; 8:32; 11:29; 12:6-8
Worship:
Romans 8:11
If that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead Dwell in you, dwell in you
If that some spirit that raised Christ from the dead Dwell in you, dwell in you
He shall quicken your mortal bodies
If that spirit dwell in you
He shall quicken your mortal bodies
If that spirit dwell in you.
The Word:
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgement was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
- Rom. 5:16-18
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Rom. 6:23
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
- Rom. 8:32
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
- Rom. 11:29
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
- Rom. 12:6-8
God Who did not withhold or spare [even] His Own Son but "gave" Him up for us All, will He not also with Him Freely and Graciously "give" us All [other] things?
For God's "Gifts" and His Call Are Irrevocable - He Never withdraws them when once they are "given", and He does not change His mind about those to whom He "gives" His Grace or to whom He sends His call. Having "Gifts" (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the Grace "given" us, let us use them: [He whose "Gift" is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his Faith; [He whose "Gift" is] practical service, let him "give" himself to serving; he who teaches, to his teaching; (He who exhorts, encourages), to his exhortation; he who contributes, let him do it in simplicity and liberality; he who "gives" aid and superintends, with zeal and singleness of mind; he who does acts of mercy, with genuine cheerfulness and joyful eagerness.
I Hope you will All take this time to look into God's Mirror and find your reflection In His Holy Word. Every Good and Perfect "Gift" that He has bestowed upon us, All that Jesus has "given" us In Him Is so that we would turn around and "give" our "Gifts" and "Talents" to His Work and bring Glory, Praise and Honor to His Holy and Precious Name! We can Love others, because God first Loved us!
Our Love is to be sincere - a real thing; hating what is evil (loathing all ungodliness, turning in horror from wickedness), but holding fast to what is good and God Is Good All The Time! We are Called to Love one another as Christ Loved us with Brotherly and Sisterly affection - as Members of one family (God's Family) - "giving" precedence and showing honor to one another. Never should we be lagging in zeal or in earnest endeavors, but we should be aglow and burning with The Holy Spirit of God In Our Heart, Mind and Soul, serving the Lord Jesus Christ with All of our strength and might! Are you contributing to the needs of God's People - sharing in the necessities of the Saints - pursuing the practice of hospitality? Blessing those who persecute you - who are cruel in their attitude toward you; blessing and not cursing isn't an easy task apart from God's Spirit Working In and Through your Life.
[Sharing other's Joy], Rejoicing with those who Rejoice; and [sharing other's grief], weeping with those who weep is a little easier, because we all go through the ups and downs of life and can sympathize (hopefully empathize) with others. Living in harmony with one another is another task at hand, since we have so many players in the band and singers in the choir, but we (as Christians, as Believers) are supposed to readily adjust ourselves to [people, things] and "give" ourselves to humble tasks; rather than be haughty (snobbish, high-minded or exclusive). Notice that the Word of God doesn't tell us to adjust others (WOW! How hard is this walking with God thing, anyWay?). Never over-estimate your "self" or be wise in your own conceits. [Prov. 3:7.] Humble your "self" in the Sight of the Lord and He Will Lift you up! Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest, proper and noble - aiming to be above reproach - in the sight of every one (not just in the Sight of God). If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with every one.
[Prov. 21:22.] All Things "Are" Possible With God and In God! Jesus has "given" us His Peace, so that we could and would overcome This Present Darkness and the World we live in. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the Way open for [God's] wrath;for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. [Deut. 32:35.] But, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, "give" him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. [Prov. 25:21, 22.]
While we were yet sinners (enemies of God), Christ died for us, so how much more so should we reach out to others with His Love, Healing and Hope of Redemption? Do not let your "self" be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good. Love Conquers All, God Is Love and God Is Good (All the Time). Do what is right in the Eyes of God and you will receive His Approval and Commendation. We "Are" God's Servants For Good In Jesus' Name! Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

The Word:
That in everything ye are enriched in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
So that ye come behind in no gift; And He will establish you to the end
- keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication, that is, be your warrant against all accusation or indictment - [so that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
- 1 Cor. 1:5-8
But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
- 1 Cor. 7:7
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
- 1 Cor. 12:4-11
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
- 1 Cor. 13:2
God "gives" us strength, the manifestation of the Spirit is "given" to every man to profit withal, one is "given" by the Spirit the word of wisdom, another the word of knowledge, another faith, another the "gifts" of healing, another the working of miracles, another prophecy, another discerning of spirits, another divers kinds of tongues and another interpretations of tongues, so that functioning together as the Body of Christ we would come behind in no "Spiritual Gift!" Every Man, Woman and Child of God has as least one of these proper "gifts" of and from God, All "gifts" are different, but of the same Spirit! The "gifts" of healing cover mental, physical, Spiritual, emotional, financial, sexual areas and will bring complete, total healing In Jesus of your body, mind, soul, spirit, heart and strength. The "gift" of prophecy, to be able to speak forth the Things of God or to foretell the future according to the Word, Will and Way of God is wonderful, but even if we receive All the "Gifts" of the Spirit and have not Charity, God's Love Working In and Through us, we have nothing and are nothing!
I thank my God at All times for each and every one of you, because of the Grace (the Favor and Spiritual Blessing) of God which was bestowed on you In Christ Jesus. God Is Faithful - Reliable, Trust-Worthy and [therefore] Ever True to His Promise, and He can be Depended On; By Him you were Called Into Companionship and Participation With His Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord!
I pray that we All will be in a matter of "self"-control, because it is well, good, advantageous, expedient and wholesome - for us to remain in [singleness] of heart, mind, soul, spirit and strength.
Know and understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the (Holy) Spirit of God [ever] can say, Jesus be cursed! or truly curse another human being who is made, created in the Image of God Almighty and no one can [really] say, Jesus Is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. We are one World and one human race! God wishes that none would perish, but that All would come to repentance In Christ Jesus and become "One" With Him In The Father by Communion and Fellowship In His Holy Spirit! For just as the human body is a unity and yet has many parts, and All the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with the Body of Christ, The Church (our body Is The Temple of the Holy Spirit of God), the Messiah, the Anointed One! Each and Every "One" of us need to function, using All of the "Gifts" and "Talents" that God has "given" us to accomplish the Works He has Established for us to Do In Christ Jesus!
Even though we may function in All the "Gifts" of the Spirit, but have not Love [that reasoning, intentional, Spiritual Devotion such as Is Inspired By God's Love For And In us], then we are only just making noise. "Give" Everything you have to the poor, provide natural food, surrender your body to be burned [or in order that you may glory], but if you have not Love [God's Love In you], you gain nothing! Apart from Jesus we can do nothing and are nothing at All, but In Him we can reach the World with the Love of God (God Is Love), make the poor rich In His Name, bless them with All Spiritual Blessings From God Above by using the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has bestowed upon us, "given" us, feed them the Word of God (His Word Is Spirit and Life Eternal) and as we offer up ourselves a living sacrifice, pour ourselves out as a drink offering unto Him, In Love, we will change the hearts and lives of All Nations and Peoples in Jesus' Holy and Precious Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: Ephesians 4:7, 8
Worship:
The Lord Is My Life
The Lord is my life
My only hope of righteousness
The Lord is my rest
I shall struggle no more
The Lord is my strength
My fortress and strong tower
The Lord is my all in all.
The Word:
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
- Eph. 4:7, 8
[There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all (Sovereign over all), pervading all and [living] in [us] all.
- Ephesians 4:5, 6
You can take versus seven and eight of Today's Scriptures as God "giving" us Grace (His Unmerited Favor) individually - not indiscriminately, but in different Ways - in proportion to the measure of Christ's [rich and bounteous] "gift" or the very "Gift of God" Himself, The Man Christ Jesus! Our Heavenly Father "gave" His Grace in the form of The Holy Spirit to Jesus without measure, told the Apostle Paul, "My Grace Is Sufficient for thee!" and being that He is no respecter of persons, it leads me to conclude that He pours out His Grace into our lives accordingly as well. When Jesus ascended on high after His Resurrection and appeared to other Believers for 40 days, to be seated at the right hand of God, He led a train of vanquished foes - "He conquered those who had conquered us; such as sin, the devil and death." - Matthew Henry - and He bestowed, "gave gifts" unto men. [Ps. 68:18.]
The Big "Question of the Day" Is, "Are we, as professing Christians, applying the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has so Graciously "Given" us to the Works God Is Calling us to Do In Jesus" Name?" As Jesus walked with the Father and Paul walked with his God, so are we Called to Follow the Good Shepherd in Obedience, Faith, Hope And Above All, Love! Jesus Christ Is the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever! The Same Holy Spirit that descended upon Him as a dove when He was baptised is the Same Holy Spirit that lives and dwells In and Upon you Today!
The Same "Gifts" and "Talents" that Jesus displayed to the World of His Day are available for us to bring to All Nations and Peoples of the World we live in Today! This is why the Word of God exclaims to All, "Today if you hear His Voice harden not your hearts! Today Is The Day Of Salvation!" Not yesterday, for it is gone forever and not tomorrow, for it is promised to no one, but Today! George Harrison sang, "Remember Now, Be Here Now!" God is Calling us to action and He has "given" us Everything (All the "Gifts" and "Talents" to accomplish His Will) that we need to live our Life In Jesus unto Him!
Jesus came from Heaven to Earth, so that we could find The Way to The Father! We have been "given" the Ministry of Reconciliation to Go into All the World and Preach the Good News that through Faith In Jesus, there is forgiveness of sin, All can come to a right relationship In God and Have Eternal Life! His Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our hearts, His Presence Is With us AlWays, even to the end of the age! He Goes before us In All Things, Keeps us in His Perfect and Acceptable Will for our Life In Him and Surely His Goodness and Mercy which is renewed every morning shall follow us All The Days Of Our Life In Christ Jesus!
God Wants to Fill All Things - The Whole Universe - With His Love and He intends to use us (to the utmost of His Abilities, not ours) to do just that.
His "Gifts" were varied; He Himself appointed and "gave" men to us for the perfecting and the full equipping of the Saints (His Consecrated People), that we would do the work of ministering toward building up Christ's Body, The Church, that It might develop until we All attain "Oneness" In The Faith! Do you comprehend the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God? Have you arrived at the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection - the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, and the completeness found in Him? This is to be our goal!
Let's have our Life Lovingly express The Truth In All Things! Strip your "self" of your former nature and be constantly renewed in the Spirit of your mind - having a fresh mental and Spiritual attitude. Reject what is false, let the thief steal no more and do not grieve, offend, vex or sadden the Holy Spirit of God, but become useful! Be imitators of God, put on The Lord Jesus Christ, Walk In Love, Take the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has "Given" you and "Do" Everything He Has Called you To "Do" utilizing the full measure of His Grace to accomplish His Good Works In The Holy and Precious Name Of Jesus. Amen.

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: 1 Tim. 6:17-19
Worship:
Sometimes
Sometimes "Hallelujah"
Sometimes "Praise the Lord"
Sometimes gently singing
Our hearts in one accord
The Word:
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
[Charge them] to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous-hearted, ready to share [with others], In this way laying up for themselves [the riches that endure forever] a good foundation for the future, so that they may grasp that which is life indeed.
- 1 Tim. 6:17-19
Liberal: Funny how that word has come to mean so much to our World of
Today (mostly in a negative way), but God Is A Redeemer of All Things and He wants us, as Christians, to "Be" Liberal!
What do you do with those little pieces of plastic you carry around in your wallet or purse? CHARGE them! Where your heart is, there your treasure will be. Rather than extending our credit line here on Earth to acquire "things" that will someday come to nothing at all, why don't we store up for ourselves treasures In Heaven by "giving" ourselves over to the service of The One we are indebted to for the Eternal Salvation of our very souls? What does your future look like or don't you know, can't you tell? As A Believer In The One, Who Alone has Immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] and lives in Unapproachable Light (He Is Light Beyond Light), your future is so bright and sure that you'll have to wear shades!
None of us (rich or poor) are to be proud, because pride comes before a fall (We certainly don't want to fall down and go boom now, do we?), arrogant, contemptuous of others or set our hopes on uncertain riches, but On God! It Is He, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us (He "Gives" us All Things) with Everything for [our] enjoyment.
Therefore, we are to take All the "Gifts" and "Talents" that He has bestowed upon us and do Good, to be rich in good works.
God Is Good and when we do Good, we are doing God's Work. We are His Workmanship Created In Christ Jesus for Good Works Unto the Salvation of All Nations and Peoples, so that they in turn can go and do likewise. The Love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts and minds, making us generous-hearted, ready to share with others, so that they may grasp that which is Life Indeed, Life Eternal. May I emphasize that, "that which is Life Indeed," is not just Life In Word, because, "Faith Without Works Is Dead!" and In Jesus, we are exempt from every kind of death. We are supposed to bring the essence of Life In Christ to All that we come in contact with, so that they too may lay hold of, comprehend, know, understand, realize, obtain, grasp the reality of, the Truth of the Good News, The Gospel of Christ!
Do you guard your heart? This is the Holy of Holies in human flesh where we keep the deposit (God's down payment to us of Eternity in the Person of the Holy Spirit) which He entrusted to us! Today, there is much irreverent babble, godless chatter, with vain, empty, worldly phrases, subtleties, contradictions in what is falsely called knowledge and Spiritual Illumination, but we as Believers, as Christians are to turn aWay from such things. It's very sad and unfortunate that far too many people professing Faith In God have erred on such matters and missed the mark. May the Lord grant, "give" to us that we may find Mercy from the Lord on that Great Day! Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ, the Messiah, [as] risen from the dead, be strong - strengthened inwardly - in the Grace (Spiritual Blessing) that is [to be found only] In Christ Jesus. Amen.

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they that mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they shall see God
Blessed are the makers of peace
For they shall be called the children of God, the children of God
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake When men shall speak evil against you falsely for my sake Rejoice and be exceedingly glad
For great is your reward; For great is your reward,
For ye are the salt of the earth,
And ye are the light of the world.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
For great is your reward, For great is your reward.
The Word:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
- Jas. 1:17
The Letter of James, written by the 1/2 brother of Jesus who considered himself, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, wrote to The Twelve Tribes of Israel that were scattered abroad among the Gentiles in the dispersion and His Greeting to them was, "Rejoice!" Do you count It All Joy whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort, or fall into various temptations? Be assured and understand that according to the Word of God, your trials and proving of your Faith bring out out endurance (we must endure until the end), and steadfastness (The Steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases, so why should we?) and patience (this is a virtue of which few have any, but it "gives" us perseverance).
With all of these things having full play in our life and doing a thorough work within, we become people perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in NOTHING!
Do not be misled, my beloved brethren (and sisteren :)! It was by God's Own Free Will that we were "given" birth as sons and daughters, born-again by His Word of Truth, born (and borne) of His Spirit, Washed In His Blood, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures - a sample of what He created to be consecrated, set aside for His Use and Purposes to Himself and bring Glory, Praise and Honor to His Holy and Precious Name!
God Is Good (All The Time) and He is Perfect (Be Ye Perfect As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect [Free, Large, Full]), therefore it is understandable that Everything that God "Gives" us as a "Gift" is from above; It Comes Down From Him (To:YOU; From: GOD) and It (or They) "are" Good and Perfect! Our Heavenly Father "Gives" Light! He "Gave" us His One and Only Begotten Son, Jesus, Who Is The Light of the World. Jesus purchased us back to Himself, presents us Holy and Blameless In His Sight and "gives" us to the Father as adopted sons and daughters. The Holy Spirit is poured out upon All flesh as a "Gift" of God's Grace and when we "receive" Him Into or hearts by Faith In Christ and the Work that He accomplished at Calvary on our behalf, we are "given" New Life, Eternal Life, Salvation and become the Light of the World to All Nations and Peoples In Jesus' Name! We "are" ONE with the Father that "Gives" Light, in the shining of Whom there can be no rising or setting or shadow cast by His turning as in an eclipse. You, my dear, sweet brothers and sisters In the Lord Jesus are the Light of the World! Shining like a diamond in the night! His Precious Love is more than just a part of us, God Is Love and He Lives, Moves and Has His Being In Us, so Gladly "Give" your heart aWay to Him for free and Love All Others around the World In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: 1 Peter 4:10
Worship:
Have Thine Own Way, Lord
Have Thine own way, Lord
Have Thine own way.
Thou art the Potter,
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
After Thy will
While I am waiting
Quiet and still.
The Word:
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
- 1 Pet. 4:10
Practice makes perfect! Do you practice hospitality to one another as the Word of God encourages and instructs you to do?
We are to be hospitable to those of the Household of Faith, a lover of strangers, with brotherly affection for the unknown guest, the foreigners, the poor and All others who come our Way who are of Christ's Body and in each instance do it ungrudgingly - cordially and graciously without complaining, but as representing Him. So, How are we All "doing" Today?
Whenever we speak, we are to do it as one who utters oracles of God; in serving as with the strength which God "furnishes" ("gives" us) abundantly, so that In All Things God May Be Glorified For Ever and Ever
- Through Endless Ages - Through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Who by His Holy Spirit Is Living, Moving and Active In and Through our Life as Christian Believers!
Each and Every One of us has received a "gift" from God (at least one, a particular Spiritual "Talent," a Gracious Divine Endowment) and we are to employ It, work It for one another as It befits and benefits us as God's Good Trustees of His Many-Sided Grace! We are All Called to "Be" Faithful Stewards of the extremely diverse powers and "gifts" granted, "given" to us as Christians by God's Unmerited Favor, His Grace! His Grace is not only sufficient to and for us, so that we can go forth and accomplish His Perfect and Acceptable Will and Way for our Life In Jesus According to His Holy and Precious Word, but it is poured out upon us, "given" freely in order for us to bring It to others in the World around us as well.
For Every One of us who "have" Received The "Gift" of God, Jesus and Eternal Life In His Name, we are to minister unto others This Same Jesus, This Same "Gift" of Salvation to the World! As Good Stewards of God (God Is Good, so we must therefore "Be" Good Stewards of His Manifold Grace, God's Favor), we must choose and invest wisely the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has, so Graciously "Given" us in order to bring the Greatest Returns On His Investments, because someday (SOON), All must "give" an account to Him. With the Holy Spirit upon us, we are to be Jesus' Witnesses in Jerusalem, and All Judea and Samaria and to the ends - the very bounds - of the Earth!
"This" Is our Mandate from Heaven Above, so why are you standing there gazing into Heaven? "This Same Jesus," Who was caught aWay (someday [SOON] we will be caught aWay In Him :) and lifted up from among us into Heaven, will return in [just] the "Same" Way in which the Men of Galilee saw Him go Into Heaven.
Jesus Christ, the Messiah, [is always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes,] and forever - to the ages.
- Hebrews 13:8
As you received The "Gift" of Jesus, Minister The "Same Gift" one to another with the Grace of God that is upon you!
The "Same" Jesus that walked the face of this planet, The "Same" Jesus that was caught up to be seated at The Right Hand of God Our Heavenly Father "Is" (Who Was and Is and Is To Come) The "Same" Jesus Who Is Coming Back Again SOON!
Do you Know Him As The "Same?" Then, "Be" A Good Steward, use All the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has "Given" you to Minister His Grace unto All Nations and Peoples as God's Holy Word Commands us to, In Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,

Subject: March Special! "Gifts From God" Temporal & Spiritual: 2 Peter 1:3
Worship:
He Has Made Me Glad
I will enter His gate with Thanksgiving in my heart I will enter his courts with praise
I will say this is the day the Lord hath made I will rejoice for He has made me glad
Chorus:
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
(Repeat chorus)
The Word:
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness.
- 2 Pet. 1:3
Have you received (obtained an equal privilege of) like precious faith with SIMON Peter, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus Christ and through the righteousness of our God and Saviour? When the Second Letter of Peter was written, he wanted God's favor (His Grace) and peace, (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) to be multiplied to you in (the full, personal, precise and correct) knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape (by flight) from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. This Is Our Calling!
In Jesus we "are" One with the Father by Faith and Perfect In His Sight! He has "given" us Everything we need to live our Life Unto Him In Righteousness (right standing). God wants us to prosper, live free from fear and overcome the World In Jesus' Name! To "Know" Him Is To Love Him and when we come into a personal relationship with Jesus, He "gives" us His Peace, Shalom, Fullness, Completeness and Richest Blessings!
His Holy Spirit Power has been bestowed on us All Things that are requisite and suited to Life Eternal! We are not to have a form of godliness and deny the power thereof, but to personally have a full knowledge of Him Who Called us by and to His Own Glory and Excellence (Virtue).
We are not here to devise clever stories, but to make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah! Peter and others were eyewitnesses of His Majesty - Grandeur, Authority of Sovereign Power. Even long after his departure (decease) we are able at all times to call these things to mind by the Ministry of God's Holy Spirit Living, Moving and Having His Being In us. Stir up the Spirit within you, rekindle the fire and hold on to the Truth of God's Word! Ratify, strengthen, make steadfast, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure your Calling and Election!
Don't be blind, [spiritually] shortsighted, seeing only what is near to you and become oblivious [of the fact] that you were cleansed from your old sins.
Knowing the cleansing power of Jesus' Blood makes His Qualities increasingly abound In us, keeps us moving onwards and upwards, living a fruitful and productive Life in Him!
All of God's Exceedingly Great and Precious Promises "are" Yes! and Amen!
In Jesus. When we "partake" of His Body (The Bread of Life) and of His Blood (The Wine of the New Covenant), we are ever and alWays made new, All Things "Are" Become New! Let each and every one of us put on the Lord Jesus Christ, taking All of the "Gifts" and "Talents" He has "Given" us to go forward, accomplishing His Will according to His Word and Way under the leading and guiding of The Holy Spirit in His Precious Name. Amen.
God bless and Love to All,
<')))>< Your Brother and Friend In Jesus, Mark
