Just a note
I haven't been writing any new topics in sometime. I have been spending my time writing a novel. The first in the series is being edited. The sequel is half way finished. It has been a wonderful experience. I have learned a lot about writing mostly that I need to work a great deal more on perfecting my stories.
Last summer I hurt my back. It made me feel useless while I was recuperating. I prayed and asked the Lord for heal and for direction as to what I should be doing with my life. As we grow older our lives change in so many ways. Physically,spiritually.emotionally,and mentally aging takes effect changing our abilities. We don't look the same, feel the same, respond the same, nor would we want to remain the same.
All this presented the problem of what was I to do with the rest of my life to Glorify the Lord. I was inspired to write. The book flowed out into a story that took form from the nil and void,much to my surprise. The Lord never ceases to amaze me. My prayer is that the book would serve to enlighten the lost to the salvation knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is purely fictional with the Biblical truths to enhance the story so that people would have the hope found in Christ Jesus. Some of the events in the book have been my own experiences modified for the characters in the story. The characters are figments of my imagination. This has been a wonderful experience for me that came out of a painful one. " And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. "

Asking for the Holy Ghost
Wow,I think that time really flies. I have had some very busy months. Some weeks were so intense and others slowed down. But the word of God says that He doesn't give us any more than we can handle.
Stress comes and stress goes. But it seems that we might not handle it the way we should. Jesus says that we should cast all our cares on Him because He careth for you. How easy it is to forget this. When we have the Holy Ghost,He gives us that peace that passes all understanding. No matter what the problem it is not too big for the Lord.
Father, Your word states that if we want the Holy Ghost in our lives all we have to do is ask you in Jesus Name. I ask right now that those who are not saved by the blood of Jesus Christ repent of their sins and invite Jesus to be Lord of their lives. I ask that those who are save and have already repented and invited Jesus into their lives be filled with the Holy Ghost. That you will work mightily in their lives by giving them evidence of this experience. That they will read 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12.
Today this is a lot of controversy over what is happening in the church today. With what is happening in our Federal Government in such a state, it makes it easy to see that our church is in terrible trouble. Read the word of God. In my humble opinion we need to know the word of God and have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We must know the truth and pray that we will not be deceived in these last days. The deception is very great. The word of God says that many will fall away from the Lord in the last days.
Many wonderful Christians have already succumbed to the deception. If you have a relationship with the Creator and seek Him and His will there will be less chance of falling victim to the enemy.

Holidays are coming!
With the election being over it is time to think about Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Is the Holiday Season really almost here? My dearest came home from work and said they are no longer saying Merry Christmas. It seems that Christ is out and every other religion is in. You can be anything you want except a servant of the Most High. The word of God is very clear about how you can get into Heaven. No man can come to the Father except through the son.
I love this time of year. The hot season is over. The trees are brilliant with color. It is time to plan the holiday menus and pull the seasonal decorations. We can sit by the fire and enjoy the warmth of family and friends. When I was little I used to love the feel of getting into bed sliding in under the cold sheets with the heaviness of the blankets on me knowing that I would soon be warm.
As I remember the little things of my childhood, I am reminded of all the things I am thankful for. I am Thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am thankful for all the blessings that God has given me. I get to live in America. I get to go to the church of my choice(for how much longer I don't know). I can travel where I would like to go. I get to eat what I want. I can live where I would like. Sure I have some limitations such as finances. But I think a lot of this is going to change.
The American people have chosen to forget God. People are now serving other gods. They are choosing to serve themselves, and other religions. They are saying bye,bye to Jesus and hello to anti-christ. The spirit of anti-christ has been in the world since Jesus came to earth. The bible warns us of the evil that will be fall us. We are seeing this happen before our very eyes. I am so Thankful that this Thanksgiving and Christmas I still can worship the way I would like to. I can celebrate the birth of Christ with joy in my heart knowing that He lives in me. Nothing and no one can take the love of Christ from my heart. Sometimes things can be difficult but I will always be grateful and thankful that I know the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves me unconditionally. He said he came because the Father loved the whole world. Not one or two thousand but the whole world. "For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son." John 3:16.
We have all heard this scripture over the years. How many really believe it? Have faith and believe it today!!! Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. Just ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins and to come into your heart. Have faith that he will change you for good. That he can deliver you from evil and that you will be able to live in the house of the Lord forever. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The Falling Away
We have all sinned and fallen short of God's grace.
Sin has separated us from His glorious face
Our lusts and desires cause Him such pain
on the cross he died and for us was slain
The hearts of His children have gone astray.
The children He loves have turned away.
Misled, deceived, have they really believed
Call back the lost sheep they must be retrieved
The Son of God did not die in vain
He gave us white garments without any stain
So why are they leaving without understanding
Who are they worshiping who is their king
Have they been testing the spirits as it says in the Word
Chasing, signs, and wonders away they have been lured
Every Spirit that says that Jesus is not God in the Flesh
will steal the hearts of men they won't need nets of mesh
Run Back, Run Back to His forgiving ,loving arms
Leave the world with all of it's temptations and charms
Return to the Holy One of Israel through His risen Son
Re turn to the work that must be done.

I have been reading from the Lighthouse Trails
I have just been reading from the Lighthouse trails. It is an informative News letter about the Christian Reformation that is going on in the world today. Many well known Christian leaders are involved this so called "Reformation". I believe that Martin Luther, Andrew Murray, Smith Wigglesworth, and others of times past would be shocked at what is happening in the Christian world today.
I started seeing great changes in the Christian churches in the late 1980's. I started questioning some of the things I had seen. One Pastor that I had really loved the Lord but he allowed people to teach in the Church that were promoting New Age practices. When I questioned this I was told that I wasn't there yet. I moved across the country. In this place I was told that the New Age did not exist in this city. I could not believe what I was hearing. There is so much denial in the churches. I moved to another country. I visited a few churches and was so surprised to see that they had readily embraced the New Age. I saw people thinking that barking like dogs or snorting like pigs was the Holy Spirit come upon them. The Holy Spirit is Holy. Dogs and pigs are not!!! When the Holy Spirit comes upon us we are to become Holy. Property of Jesus Christ of Nazereth, God who cam in the Flesh. We are to test the spirits. We are not to believe that anyone or anything is of God. You will know them by their fruits.
You can not be a Muslim,Hindu,Buddhist, or anything outside of accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour with repentance. That means turning away from your past sins and that means any life style that does not please God the Father. There is a scripture"No man can come to the Father accept through the Son." Many people today believe that they are Christians today because they made a decission for Christ. What does that mean? According to the word of God one must actively participate in becoming a Christian. The Gospel of John third chapter verses 1-21 explain that one must be born again. So many people dislike that phrase. I guess that's because we must change.
It says that a man must be born of the water and of the Spirit. You must actively confess Jesus Christ as the only begotten son of the Father.
When you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, which means He is now the boss of you. You will start getting convicted by the Holy Ghost. You will not feel comfortable doing your old things. You will start living a new life. The Holy Ghost becomes your teacher. You do not need to be a scholar or an intellectual. The Bible was written and interpreted for everyone to use. I used to think I couldn't read or understand the Bible. But according to John14: 26 But the Comforter,which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name.he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things. whatsoever I have said unto you.
The truth is so important. I ask God the Father to show me the truth constantly because deception is running rampantly. I want to believe the truth and live the truth. Jesus Christ is the Truth and without Him there is no Truth. "I am the Truth. the Life and the Way, no man can come to the Father accept by me."
I believe that Lighthouse Trails is promoting the Truth....They don't know me. I hope I have not said anything that they could or would disagree with. These are my opinions about the Word of God. I believe them to be true because I got them directly from the Bible which is the word of God.

The Qu'ran Speaks on the Torah and the Gospels
Audio which explores what the Koran says about the Torah and the Gospels. Makes the case FROM THE KORAN that the Koran teaches that an uncorrupted, God-inspired Torah and Gospels were held by Christians and Jews at the time of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed. Also shows that these are the same texts that are with us today. The Koran does not speak well of those who "believe a part and reject a part" of The Book (God's revelation to man in the Torah, Gospels and Qu'ran as in "The People of the Book" referring not just to Muslims but those of these other faiths as well).

Another year has begun
Time is so precious. Yet you can't see it or touch it. You can feel it. I guess you can see it on our faces and our bodies. But you can not see time itself. Movies are made about people going back in time to change things or to learn something from the past. Some go forward in time to see what the future will bring. History is recorded events of what happened in past times.
The Bible covers everything we need to know. It gives record of what happened from the very beginning of time until the very end of time as we will know it and everything in between. It is very good to know that in these turbulent times that we have the Comforter that Jesus promised. God keeps His promises. The Bible, the Word of God, informs us that we will have trials and tribulations. Jesus said that those who believed on Him and asked him to be Lord of their lives he would then send the Holy Ghost. A man named Nicodemus said to Jesus that he knew that Jesus was a teacher that came from God because no man can do those miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus replied Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus said unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:1-21 The time we are given should be used wisely. It is wise to seek the kingdom of God and all Righteousness that all these things will be added unto you. The time has come when we have to make serious choices.
The actor Heath Ledger is a good example of this. We can live for only so long. Eventually are time will end. Most of us believe that Mr Ledger's life was cut short for what ever reason. Did he make wise choices in his life? We don't know but time will tell. Things will come out about his life and we will learn a lot about him. Did he chose Jesus Christ for his Lord and Savior? Did he teach his little daughter about the word of God? I don't know what he did or didn't do but he knows the truth now and he can't take back his decisions. He can't change a thing now. But those of us still here can still make a difference in time by living each day knowing we made the decision to have a personal relationship with Christ. Time is still passing us by everyday. We can catch it and reign it in with the word of God. Look at all the people in history that don't even know that they are a part of what has influenced us. Whether for good or for evil we are influenced by history and influencing history. The Bible is His story. What is yours?

Children of God
George MacDonald's masterful sermon on being a child of God has been my focus of study recently. The doctrine of adoption is widespread, but largely misunderstood, I believe.

Yes, It is almost Christmas
It is hard to believe that another year is almost at end. Christmas is upon us again. It is suppose to be the most wonderful time of the year. It is different for everyone. Many people celebrate this time of year as just a holiday. I once heard that holiday was really holy day. It makes sense to me. I believe that this can be one of the most Holy Days of the year for those of us that want to honor the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God who came in the flesh.
Luke 2:1-20
And it came to pass in those days,that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,that all the world should be taxed.
2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria)
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them ,Fear not: for,behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made it known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Christmas is important to all mankind because he died for all. He gives everyone the opportunity to receive Christ. His birth was celebrated by the angels themselves. They spread the news to the shepherds. It was proclaimed so that all would know that the Messiah had come. It is a time to praise and worship the Lord. To give God glory for His goodness and to thank Him for His mercy, sending Jesus as Savior. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all. A special Thank you to all of our Armed Forces especially to those serving over seas. May God's protection go with you. May Jesus Christ give you direction and all the guidance that you will need and His Angels surround you and keep you safe.

The Holy Ghost has come not only to be a comforter but as the third person of the Trinity he glorifies Jesus Christ. No one can say that Jesus Christ is God who came in the flesh unless the Holy Spirit reveals it to them. I can say that Jesus Christ is God who came in the flesh but how many people actually beleive it? We can also tell by a person's fruit what their walk with God is really like. We must test the spirits. We can not believe that everyone that says they are of God really are. I believe that The Comforter gives us discernment as well. We need the Comforter so we can know the truth. But there is the deciever, the destroyer, the killer, that is the enemy of God. He wants to steal the truth away from the believer in Jesus Christ. He wants the souls of every man,women, and child. If a person can't say that Jesus Christ of Nazareth came in the flesh then he has been deceived by the great deciever of all time. For those who don't believe they have become the enemy of God. They then belong to Satan. Many Christians today have been decieved into believing any miracle, anyone claimiing to be a Christian is of God and they do not test the spirits. It is crucial for a Christian to test the spirits. You wouldn't fill a bath tub full of hot water then step in. You would first test the water to make sure that it is not too hot. I have been told that everyone is decieved in some way. I believe that when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior that your eyes are opened to the truth but when you experience the Baptist of the Holy Ghost you have the Holy Ghost in your spirit and he reveals all things to you. You need not be decieved. The Bible says in the last days many will fall away from their faith. How can this happen? The enemy has apparently replaced the truth with lies. I think this will be the next avenue I will explore. I wonder if I should give examples of how I have experienced God in my life??? Let the Lord be magnified!

I've thinking alot about the peace that one gets when one is a Christian. The people of the world want peace. Look at all the turmoil going on in this world. The Middle East is in constant conflict. There is termination of people in the different nations. Wars are every where. Where is peace? It is lacking just about everywhere. The only way we can have peace is in our own hearts. That peace comes only from having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a peace that cannot be understood from people who have never experienced it. It is a peace that can never be explained. It can only be gotten by asking God for it. IF you have not asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior, then you must do so, then you can ask for the peace you need. It is a heart felt peace that passes all understanding. I have been very blessed to have experienced God's peace in my own heart.

Who has sent the Holy Ghost?
John 14:12-26 kjv
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; for but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you. and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: because I live, ye shall live also.
19 Yet in a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me;
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him,not Iscariot,Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,and bring them all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Wow! If Jesus is the truth then this must all be true. We all need comfort sometimes. Jesus said he would pray the Father and he would give another comforter. He knew that he would be leaving the 12 disciples and that they would be needing a comforter. There were conditions that the disciples would have to meet. They must love Jesus and keep his words. Then they would make their abode with them. The Father would send the Holy Ghost and teach them all things and bring to their remembrance all things.
The great question is, Is this true for today? Many say no. Some say that the Bible is the infallible word of God. But that this was just for the disciples. Some people actually believe this can happen to all who believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was God who came in the Flesh if they will only ask and keep the conditions that Jesus set forth. How many Christians have really experienced this truth? Are there many people who have experienced real salvation? Do some people have the peace that Jesus speaks of in John 14:27? Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, Let not your not your heart be troubled,neither let it be afraid.
