GOD'S LOVE

GOD’S  LOVE

Long ago sin entered the world through Adam and Eve, and from there we are all born in sin and fall short of the glory of God.

20 For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin
.

ECCLESIASTES 7:20

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

ROMANS 3:23

But God already had a plan from the beginning of creation to save mankind from their sin, and what a plan it was. He would offer salvation to mankind through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Knowing that no sin can enter heaven, God knew from the beginning that through His Holy Spirit and a young Jewish girl He would send His only begotten Son, Jesus to earth to pay the price for our sins. Jesus came to earth as man and God, knowing full well that His purpose for coming was to offer Himself to suffer and be crucified to save mankind, you from your sins.

21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.” 22 So all this was done that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call
His name Immanuel, ”which is translated, “God with us.”

MATTHEW 1:21-23

The Word Becomes Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father, full of grace and truth.

JOHN 1:14

[ Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross ] “Now My soul
is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me
from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.


Can you even imagine looking at one of your children and deciding to send them to save a people that you knew would torture and then crucified them?  You need to let this sink into your hearts, because God loved us so that is exactly what He did for us. He sent His only Son, to be tortured and crucified to save us from our sins and death.

16 For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.

JOHN 3:16

13 Greater love has no one than this,
than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

JOHN 15:13

But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

ROMANS 5:8

In this is love, not that we loved God,
but that He loved us and sent His Son 
to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 JOHN 4:10

For it was only through His blood sacrifice that could cleanse us and save us from our sins so we may enter heaven.

And He said to them, “This is My blood of the
new covenant, which is shed for many.

MARK 14:24

In Him we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

EPHESIANS 1:7

in whom we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins.


Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people
with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.


But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the 
blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.


and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from
the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us
and washed us from our sins in His own blood,


We need to try and understand how great God’s love was for us, His creation. 
That He gave His only Son to save us, and it was through the sacrifice of His 
only Son, Jesus that cleanses us from our sin. It is a lot to comprehend, 
yet so simple.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


But God, who is rich in mercy, because of
His great love with which He loved us, 
even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved),

EPHESIANS 2:4-5

In this the love of God was manifested toward us,
that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him.10 In this is love,
not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 JOHN 4:9-10

It is only by God’s love and grace we are saved. Just by faith believing in all He gave for us, His Son, Jesus. God’s gift of His Holy Spirit and heaven can not be bought, and no work you do can pay off your sins.

But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you 
thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

ACTS 8:20

20 I have been crucified with Christ;
it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and
the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me.

GALATIANS 2:20

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed,
you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee
of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
to the praise of His glory.

EPHESIANS 1:13-14

For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 
not of works, lest anyone should boast.

EPHESIANS 2:8-9

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error
24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him,
and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us,
by the Spirit whom He has given us.

1 JOHN 3:24

Without reading God’s word you may be deceived by some false doctrine or just false teachings. For God warned of this in the last days there will be false prophets and false teachers. Not maybe, there will be. Many churches are now replacing God’s doctrine with their purpose driven and seeker sensitive doctrines just to lure people in.

And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "

MATTHEW 15:9

that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men,
in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

EPHESIANS 4:14

 [ The Great Apostasy ] Now the Spirit expressly says
that in latter times some will depart from the faith,
giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,


For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers;

2 TIMOTHY 4:3

(Destructive Doctrines) But there were also false prophets
among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord
who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

2 PETER 2:1

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ
does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both
the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this
doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

2 JOHN 9-10

We must hold the true word of God and the simplicity of Christ. That He was born of a virgin, He suffer and died for our sins and rose on the third day. So confess with your mouth that Jesus saved you and that you have repented of your sins to follow Him all the days of your life.

But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.'
For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.' "

MATTHEW 9:13

I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.


that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

ROMANS 10:9-10

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness,
so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

New Years Resolution


A New Years Resolution

A New Years Resolution
It’s as easy as can be
If you plan to get to heaven
Jesus said you come to me

By remembering what Jesus did
He did it just for you
He said you come to Me
I’ll make you all brand new

He came to save the lost
That’s always been His goal
Ask and you’ll receive
And He’ll renew your soul

So as you plan your New Year
Ask what you can do
By serving our Lord Jesus
For all He did for you

For what you do to others
Jesus said you did to Me
When you serve your brothers
You’re really serving Me

And the King will answer and say to them, 
‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the 
least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR

CHRISTMAS  ALL YEAR
Christmas is a time
When you spread a lot of cheer
But what Jesus did for us
Should last throughout the year

We celebrate His birth
The honor He deserves
But celebrate all He did
To get your place reserved

It’s love that Jesus taught us
Do you feel it in the street
He said now go and share it
With the people you will meet

It’s not just another holiday
It’s Christ we celebrate
He died and rose to heaven
He opened heaven’s gate

It’s Christmas we enjoy
But it’s Jesus that we love
The joy we get from Christmas
He was sent from God above

In this the love of God was manifested toward us,
that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him. 

1 JOHN  4 : 9

CHRISTMAS BELLS

CHRISTMAS  BELLS
When you hear a bell ring
They say an angel gets his wings
God gave him wings from the start
He created perfect beings

The Christmas bells that ring
It’s Jesus they ring for
God said through His Son
A soul He will restore

Christmas is a time
To reflect on who we are
With Jesus in our hearts
He’ll be our guiding star

Now as Christmas comes
Don’t forget the reason why
Jesus saved us from our sins
To live with Him on high

So when you hear a bell ring
Remember God is in control
For every time that bell rings
He saved another soul

He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

 PSALM  23 : 3

TURNING AGAINST GOD

TURNING  AGAINST  GOD

There was a time not long a go people understood that all the great things America stood for were blessings from God. We thanked Him for everything, from the food on our table, the abundance of crops our land produced, we were known as the bread basket of the world, we saw an increase in livestock, and God even blessed us with children, He also blessed us to defeat our enemies. God truly blessed America then.

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:
Blessed shall you be in the city, and
blessed shall you be in the country.
Blessed shall be the fruit of your body,
the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds,
the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
Blessed shall you be when you come in,
and blessed shall you be when you go out.
The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against
you to be defeated before your face;
they shall come out against you one way
and flee before you seven ways.
“The Lord will command the
blessing on you in your storehouses
and in all to which you set your hand, and
He will bless you in the land
which the Lord your God is giving you.

DEUTERONOMY 28:2-8


America is now groaning, there is evil all around, and today the government defends all those who are against God, His word and His commandments. They call evil good and good evil, all while calling God’s righteous people racist and intolerant of those our government chooses to defend. With abortion in our land, we now have generations that sees no value to human life, accept their own. Our country started its descent when prayer was removed from our schools by one woman and our government and supreme court allowed this. They took away all the rights of the American people in support of one woman. Why? Because this was the beginning of the governments anti-God, and anti-Christian movement, the end of a free America, and we can see how quickly they have spread this. They have used the public schools and universities to brain wash generations into believing that only the government can save them, turning their hearts cold towards God.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

PROVERBS 29:2

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put 
darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for 
sweet, and sweet for bitter! 


 And because lawlessness will abound, 
the love of many will grow cold.



With God no longer guarding our country, we have watched in silence and in vain and as every evil thing has spread through our land, racism, abortion, murder, hatred, and even our government knows and has aloud the enemy ISIS to come in with the refugees and can attack us any time they choose.  This has happened largely because the church and God’s people have not spoken out and defended the God they claim to love.

But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, 
God shall make you fall before the enemy;
for God has power to help and to overthrow.”


Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
127 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

PSALM 127:1

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

PSALM 94:16

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather expose them.

EPHESIANS 5:11-12


With this turning against God also comes a curse on the land with fires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, and blizzards, which have all caused a decline in our production of produce and livestock, and through refugees new diseases have been brought into our country and the ones that were once gone are now making a comeback.  God’s Blessings Have Left Our Country.

19 I will break the pride of your power; I will make your
heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 And your strength shall
be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce,
nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21 ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing
to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues,
according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild beasts
among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy
your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall
be desolate. 23 ‘And if by these things you are not reformed by Me,
but walk contrary to Me, 24 then I also will walk contrary to
you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25 And I will bring a sword against you that will execute
the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together
within your cities I will send pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

LEVITICUS 26:19-26

Curses on Disobedience
15 But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice
of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments
and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses
will come upon you and overtake you:
16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land,
the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

DEUTERONOMY 28:15-21


Woe to the leaders of the nations, for it is by them these offenses are brought in against God and His Son. Government leaders, some who even claim to be Christian are now imposing their will on God’s people trying to force them to accept homosexuality, transsexuals, abortion, and same sex marriage by passing laws against God’s word and against His people. For power, it seems these leaders are even willing to exchange their very souls to hang on to what little power they have. People have forgotten that if they turn against God, He will also turn against them.

The Degenerate City
21 How the faithful city has become a harlot!
It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it,
But now murderers. 22 Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water. 23 Your princes are rebellious,
And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them
.

ISAIAH 1:21-23

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, 
and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give
in exchange for his soul?


Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come,
but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

MATTHEW 18:7

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness,
in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women
exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

ROMANS 1:24-26


Christian’s because of their faith, are now even in America facing hatred and persecution and being brought before government officials, judges, because of their faith in Jesus and refusing to deny Him, to obey our president’s laws that are against God and our faith. We have already seen God’s people being fined, going to jail, and their businesses going under for obeying God’s word over our governments. America, once known as a Christian country is now being handed over to Satan and his children. And again this happened because the church leaders have chosen to keep silent to protect their tax exemption rather than defend God’s word.  We need to ask who are they really serving, themselves or God.

18 You will be brought before governors and kings
for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

MATTHEW 10:18

22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
But he who endures to the end will be saved.

MATTHEW 10:22

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you
and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.
You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake.


[ The Imperative of Love ] In this the children of God
and the children of the devil are manifest:
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is he who does not love his brother.



And not just Christians are being persecuted, but God’s chosen people the Jews, who God Himself tells of His everlasting love for them and Israel, His people and their land given to them by God.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God,
and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself,
a special treasure above all the peoples
who are on the face of the earth.

DEUTERONOMY 14:2

You shall write on them all the words of this law,
when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land 
which the Lord your God is giving you, ‘a land flowing with milk
and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you.


Blessed be the Lord your God, who delighted in you,
setting you on His throne to be king for the Lord your God!
Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them
forever, therefore He made you king over them,
to do justice and righteousness.”



We are one body in Christ who is the head of the church, His body. Why are we not coming out to defend our brothers and sister in Christ? Why are we keeping silent? If every church would have had their entire congregation write their representatives, maybe we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now.

And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it;
or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

1 CORINTHIANS 12:26

And He is the head of the body, the church,
 who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things He may have the preeminence.

COLOSSIANS 1;18


How much does God loved Israel, His chosen people and land? God said He will curse the person or nation that curses Israel and He will eventually destroy all nations that will come against her.

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you
;
And in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.”

GENESIS 12:2-3

It shall be in that day that 
I will seek to destroy
all the nations that
come against Jerusalem.

ZECHARIAH 12:9


We have seen God’s wrath come to our nation every time our government gets involved with Israel giving up their land for peace, and peace never comes out of it, but America feels God’s wrath each time, be it floods, hurricanes, tornados, our economy or an attack from our enemy. Here are only a few examples.

October 30, 1991: President George Bush opens the Madrid Conference, a Middle East peace plan involving Israel’s land. On the same day, a rare storm hits off the coast of Nova Scotia. “The Perfect Storm,” causing heavy damage to President Bush’s home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moves to Washington D.C. lasting four days. On the same day Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster to hit America, caused an estimated $30 billion in damages and leaves 180,000 homeless in Florida.

January 16, 1994: President Clinton meets with Syria’s President Hafez el-Assad. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that included giving up the Golan Heights. Less than 24 hours later, a 6.9 earthquake hits Southern California. The second most destructive natural disaster to hit the United States.
October 15, 1998: Yassar Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu met in Maryland to discuss Israel giving up 13 percent of the West Bank and Gaza in exchange for “peace.” Two days later, tornadoes hit Texas leaving $1 billion in damages.

August 22, 2005: As part of a U.S. brokered deal, Jews were forcibly evacuated being dragged out from Gaza. The next day, a tropical depression in the Atlantic formed into Hurricane Katrina and hit New Orleans, forcing tens of thousands to evacuate. Property damage in New Orleans exceeded $81 billion. Nearly 2,000 people died. It was one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

For a complete list you can go to:

There is now also so called Christian churches that teach and believe that the church has replaced Israel, and that Israel is no longer relevant. This is a lie of Satan’s. Israel is and always will be God’s chosen people, His betrothed, and the apple of His eye. God will do whatever if takes to protect His chosen people, (His wife) and their land.

For thus says the Lord of hosts: "He sent Me after glory,
to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you
touches the apple of His eye.

ZECHARIAH 2:8 

19 I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In loving kindness and mercy;
20 I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And you shall know the Lord
.

HOSEA 2:19-20

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan him self transforms
himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness,
whose end will be according to their works.

2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15


Not only have the people defiled themselves with their false gods of stone and wood, and doing what ever vile thing they can think of, they have also defiled God’s land by doing so. 

The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the everlasting covenant
.
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
And few men are left.

ISAIAH 24:5-6

I brought you into a bountiful country,
To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you defiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.


So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry,
that she defiled the land and committed
adultery with stones and trees.


And first I will repay double for their iniquity
and their sin, because they have defiled My land;
they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses
of their detestable and abominable idols.”



It is the leaders of our nation who have brought this destruction to our country. They no longer fear God All Mighty, forgetting that He can destroy both body and soul. As Christians we know that the rain falls on the just and unjust, but nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ.

that you may be sons of your Father in heaven;
for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.



Those who are not offended by God and confess His Son, Jesus before men are already blessed with eternal life through Jesus Christ.

(Confess Christ Before Men) "Therefore whoever confesses
Me before men, him I will also confess before
My Father who is in heaven.

MATTHEW 10:32

And blessed is he who is
not offended because of Me.”

MATTHEW 11:6

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life 
in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Without God there is no moral conscience of right or wrong. Each person decides for themselves what they perceive to be right or wrong, and it will be different for each person. How can God bless a country that has turn against Him and has no absolute truth any longer to live by?

But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you
,
So that He will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in empty words and speak lies;
They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity
.

ISAIAH 59:2-4


Only if God’s people will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and repent, will God heal our land.

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin and heal their land.


12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.


PSALM 33:12
