Psalms 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."
I'm too blessed to stress; Blessed and highly favored: these are popular saying we throw around all the time.But are you really blessed? Truly blessed? The word of God says that "Blessed is the man that don't continue to walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the way of the sinner, or sits in the seat of the scornful.See the character and condition of a Godly man allows him to walk in the righteousness of God. God knows those that are his by name, but we only know them by character.The character of a Godly man is given by the rules he chooses to walk by and the advice he takes his direction from.The Godly man takes his direction from the word of God, he meditates on it day and night. This keeps him on the narrow road, the staright path ,so he is blessed not to walk in the ways of the wicked.The ungodly are unsettled, they have no pacific goal or aim, they don't walk by no certain rule, as they stand for nothing and seem to fall for everything ,thinking they are free, they become slaves to many masters, they are at the command of every lust and the beck and call of every temptation.The Godly man sees them with a sad heart, but he does not do what they do, his character won't allow him to follow their advise, stand in their unrighteousness or to seek rest in their unbelief. He takes his rest in the word of God, and is blessed with a blessing which flows like a flowing river of water, and in all that the Godly man does, he prospers.
So if you think you're blessed now just think of how blessed we would be if we meditated on the word of God day and night, if we were to walk worthy of the name by which we are called. Got Jesus? tell a friend save a life................................

Have you counted up the cost?
John 6:69 "And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the son of the living God"
" No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God." For which of you , intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it. Saints who hath believed our report?And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Do you believe? have you truly counted up the cost? Will you go on with Jesus, or will you go back, and walk no more with him. Here in this chapter of John we have what can be called the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus reveals who he is , why he came and our work in this great plan of salvation.(since the fall of man ,it has always be about reconciling man back with God, noah's ark, Joseph in egypt, moses leading them from Egypt even Samson's battle all about the salvation of Gods people.)Here in the story we have a great multitude following Jesus,( all following Jesus were not Follwers of Jesus,are you following him or a follower of his) many followed seeking the miracles he preformed and the food which they ate.( we have many today seeking Jesus for what they can get out of him, and not for what he can give to them). Jesus reveals to us our work in this great plan, he took the loaves Blessed it then broke it and gave to the disciples, who then distributed it among the people, Jesus then instructed them to gather up the fragments that none be lost. See Jesus came that none be lost,he has given us the blessed word of God for us to take out and share with a dying world, that none be lost, we are then to take up the fragments of broken lives, and lead them to Jesus. Then Jesus reavels who he is, stating that all who don't eat of his flesh and drink of his blood shall not enter the kingdom.See we must get Jesus on the inside, he is the living word by which we shall have everlating life. He is the abundant life promised us by Gods word. God never promised us big cars, fancy houses, large bank accounts, he never said the road would be easy , a narrow road is never an easy road. But what he did promise is that he would never leave you nor forsake you, and life more abundantly, what can be more abundant that a life with one who has all power..........Got Jesus?

The Lord; my strength
Psalms 18:1" I will Love thee, O Lord my strength"
I heard a story of a father and his son on a camping trip. They were traveling on a ready made path to a camp ground. As they were making their way up the path a large rock blocked the path. The father said to the son "I'm going to make a man out of you, use your strenght and move the rock." The boy gripped the rock on both sides and tried pushing the rock but it never moved. The boy told his father "It won't move". His father told him he wasn't using all his strenght, so the boy tried again pushing with everything he had, but the rock still didn't move. The boy said father I used all my strenght and I just can't move it. The father said you haven't used all your strenght, the boy a little upset now grabb hold of the rock and pushed, sweet rolling down his face ,yet the rock never moved. The boy said father I used all my strength and still the rock didn't move.His father looked at him and said you didn't use all your strenght, because you never asked me to help.
Saints there are stumbling blocks that sometimes block the path that God has called us to travel , and many of us get frustrated and change course because we try to move these obsticles by ourselves; But the Lord is our strength in our time of weakness. Let us call on the Lord to aid us in moving the mountains which hinder our journey, let us use all our strength.........Got Jesus? tell afriend change a life........

A vessel of honor
2nd Tim.2:20 "But in the great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor"
The new testiment gives us many beautiful parables about what it means to be saved, to be a member of the family of God, and to serve the lord Jesus Christ. In the book of ephesians, Paul talks about the church as the household of God. Here in 2nd tim. he speaks of the child of God liken to a vessel in this great house. He speaks of two types of vessels in this house; a vessel of honor and a vessel of dishonor. Saints every christian is a chosen vessel unto Christ, the question is are we to honor or to dishonor. Every believer should live a dedicated life having a compelling desire to be used of God in whatever way he chooses.We must be strong in the grace that is in Jesus Christ, we must study Gods word, that we might be a workman who needs not be ashamed, and be useful to the master, prepared for every good work.See it is Jesus Christ which gives us the power and the tools to fight this spiritual battle, he equips us for this ministry of reconcilliation, thru Christ, the presence of God enters our hearts, and has the power to transform and convert a vessel of dishonor into a vessel of honor. Gods grace allows us to endure all things, that we might with a singleness of mind proclaim with a loud voice the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of God unto salvation. Let us walk in the power of God, and walk worthy of the name by which we are called that we will be victorious over are enemy and lead all in darkness into his marvelous light.....Got Jesus? tell a friend change a life.

Good News; We are free!
Isa. 61:1"The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound."
Good news;We all enjoy hearing good news. Good news is something we will accept from anybody at anytime.There is power in good news, it makes you feel good and do good. Good news can lift up a bowed down head and put a smile on a sad face. The power of good news will move one to take action, take a stance, make a choice, change a direction, alter a situation, and even cause one to become another, a new person.The power of good news is hope in a hopeless situation, gives purpose to a loss cause, and can give life to a dead situation.Good news is endless;the very nature of what it is speaks of hope, carries kindness, offers patience, shows love,while at the sametime it corrects, reproves, creates change,gives instruction and is a way out of no way. No matter what the situation or how bad things seems, good news will comfort you as it tells you everything will be alright.Saints even though our sins and short commings have separated us from God, there is good news.Gods hand is not to short to save. he has all power; there don't have to be any condemnation to us; for where we were bound by the domion of sin under the power of satan, Jesus the good news from on high lets us know he has conquered satans power, and by his grace has given us the power to losen the yoke of sin from around our necks and shake it off. giving us the power to build up wasted lives, repair broken hearts, release those bound in the prison of unbelief and the voice to proclaim to a dying world the good news of the gospel; the power of God unto salvation.............Jesus is the Christ the son of the living God.....................Got Jesus? tell a friend change a life

Stand united
John 17:21-"That they all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; That the world may believe that thou hast sent me:
Here we have Jesus revealed as the great intercessor. Here he is praying that we all be united. The standard of this unity is the oneness between Jesus and the father,Saints we must be one, it is an absolute for the spreading of the Gospel.Saints the world has not been reached; millions are walking in darkness, because we believers have not unified enough to penatrate the world with the truth of the Gospel.The problem is not God, his will is that none should parish, but we believers stand divided.See there are three essentials for men to become believers; 1) There is the messenger, the person who proclaims the word so that man can believe on the name of Jesus.2)There must be a message to proclaim,and since we are Gods messengers,the message we take into the world must be Gods word, a unified word.3)There has to be belief, one messenger, proclaiming one message with one belief.(that Jesus Christ is Lord). We who confess Jesus Christ as lord must lay aside our petty difference,and lift up the thing that we all have in common.(put aside our personal agenda , denominations, religious differences and lift up the name of Jesus).We the many members of this one glorious body comming together proclaim a single message. Come together as one as Christ and the Father are one, one mind ,one heart, one purpose, of one characters and of one love ,with one mission and proclaiming one message.One body proclaiming Gods only message to a dying world, Christ and him crucified.A body of one, perfected in unity and love, that the world may know that God sent Jesus into the world, and that through him the world might be saved.Saints the world needs a unified love more than anything else,it needs to see a great demonstration of love from a massive multitude of people.(Think of the power if all believers came together in a united love sharing the good news of the gospel).The world needs the unified love of God, a love that is patient, that is kind, that bears all things,endures all things,and that believes all things.( believing that if we came together and proclaimed a single message that all can be saved.)The world needs a love that will give everything that one might be saved, the sacrificial love of the Father and Son. So let us who confess the name of Jesus become one with Jesus one with his Love and message,and walk worthy of the name by which we are called, that all in darkness might come into his marvelous light...............Got Jesus? tell a friend change a life

Sharing through caring;Thank you Jesus
Eph:2:4-5 "But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us; even when we were dead in sin , hath quickened us together with Christ(By grace ye are saved).
Because of the nature of man, he was in a miserable condition,butby the love of God there was a glorious change brought about by the grace of God. See in times past we were dead in sin, we walked, talked, and lived according to the ways of the world.We persude it's persuits, did it's deeds, believed its philosophies, sought it's values, and lived a life which was in opposition to the word, will ,and way of God. We were sinners in a dead state, lacking the principles and powers of spiritual life, bondslaves to satin and the joys and toys of this world.But it was Gods love for us, God himself orchastrated this great and happy change.His great love and rich mercy alone.Gods responce to our sins, through his rich mercy and great love God called me to life with Christ. By his grace we are saved, because he lives even though i deserved hell, through Christ i can obtain heaven.A regenerated sinner, now a living soul, his grace gave me salvation, his grace unlocking all that death had locked up and sin had blocked out.God gave me Jesus Christ , his power unto salvation, now let us thank him by giving him to all that we see.Let us share Christ in our walk,walking worthy of the name by which we was called,share him in all that we say and do having love for all that Christ shed his blood for, by living this life in such a way that all in darkness will seek Gods marvelous light. Thank you God for Jesus
