PEACE

-

 John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 In today's world, we face many struggles, from skyrocketing gas prices to chronic unemployment, terrorism, and everything in between. Because of the several different stressors pulling, pushing, and twisting around us on an almost continual basis throughout the day, many of us today have been feeling squished, squashed, and smothered with stress, hypertension, and the shear heaviness of modern society. Unfortunately, a growing number of individuals have fallen into excessive drug and alcohol use in an attempt to escape the difficulties and pressures of the current environment; however, there is another way.

 Jesus tells us in John chapter 14 that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light; however, He also tells us that when you have Faith and Believe in Him, you have Faith and Believe in the Father, the one who sent Him. Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, He was born of a virgin, He walked the Earth preaching, teaching, and working miracles, He was tortured, Crucified and buried; however, on the third day He rose again. This is the basis of the Christian Faith and the foundation on which we stand; knowing and believing that Jesus has gone to reunite with the Father in Heaven and that He will return to gather His people, this is the Hope that we as believers share with one another; however, there is something more, the Peace of God.

 "Peace I Leave With You, My Peace I Give Unto You" these are the words of Jesus Christ spoken to the Disciples in Bethany shortly after the Passover meal, it is a promise that has stood the test of time, it is a promise that God can be held to, that even through the harshest of times, He will give you Peace. So remember, no matter what you may be going through, Jesus will give you the Peace that surpasses all understanding, this is God's Promise to you.

Helping God's People, Helping Oneself

  Helping God's People. Helping Oneself In 2013, I became deathly ill, requiring several surgeries, five months in the hospital, and a long, slow, recovery period, one in which I am still participating, over ten years later. During this time, I met a young man from Pakistan, a young man who wanted to learn who Christ was, and how he could meet Him. Because I was in the hospital, and later at home on bed rest, I had plenty of time to teach him Bible Studies, while sharing the Love of Christ with him. Today, Sajin Samuel Masah is the Pastor of the church, founded by the late Bishop Kenneth Phillips, and myself, in Kenewal, Pakistan, with just 15 young people, eager to learn about the Love of Christ. And now, after nearly ten years, the church is going strong, Baptizing nearly 450 individuals into the Kingdom of God just this year. Town after town, and village after village, Pastor Sajin and his team continue to evangelize, and do God's work, reaching out to the lost, the hurting,...

You Can Be Set Free

To whom to you belong? I mean who is in control of your feelings, emotions, heart, mind, and soul? Is it yourself? Is it just time and chance? Is it the one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy you? The truth is for many of us, we just don't know... For much of my life, I knew that there was a "god", I knew that we just didn't appear here on earth one day, but as far as having a "god" to whom I belonged was a foreign thought to me, I just didn't get it... I lived my life from one moment to the next, not really giving much thought to how the way I lived affected those around me; honestly, I didn't even care how my lifestyle affected myself, but one day, that would all change, I would have a God encounter... It was a point in my life in which everything had begun to unravel, my job, my personal life, everything... I can remember my mom telling me that unless I gave it to God, the troubles of my life at that point would eventually overcome me... ...

Surely I Come Quickly...

Hosea 4:6-7 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame... As I mentioned previously, I have just fallen in love with the Book of Hosea, and as prophecy continues to unfold before our eyes, it is important for us to understand what's going on around us, and we can only understand it by reading the Word and making it a part if who we are... Jesus Christ Himself read and studied the Word, and as a matter of fact, He quoted it often. Jesus Christ is our sinless and Holy example, and He expected the Apostles and all who followed Him to know the Word themselves... One example of this can be found in Matthew 22:31 when speaking, He stated "Have you not read?" He spoke these words In expectation that ...
