NEW BIBLE TRIVIA QUESTION
I have put up a new Bible Trivia Question tonight. It is on the right-hand side, beneath the "Just As I Am" video and a little blue on/off switch for my music player. PLEASE take a second to answer this question as I want to start a Bible Trivia page but want to make sure that I will have participants as it will take a lot of time and work. I really want to do it but only if it's something you would find fun and interesting to do. So far, I've had very little interest shown. However, I am not giving up, lol. The trivia question is (and you'll have to go to the "Poll" to give your answer, is this..
Which of the following is NOT an Apostle of Jesus Christ
John
Matthew
Peter
Luke
PLEASE PLAY and GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

THE MOST HATED NAME IN THE WORLD....
I read an article some time back that said the world will not have an issue with you if you believe in God. No one cares. However, if you mention that you believe in Christ Jesus, you will be persecuted. Since we know the Bible cannot lie, He told us over 2000 years ago that the world would hate us because it hated Him first. So when we are mocked, called names like morons, unintelligent, indoctrinated or brainwashed, blind sheep, uneducated and can't think for ourselves, thank Him for be worthy enough to be persecuted for His Name's sake! We are blessed!
It also said to remember it is never "anti-God" but rather always "anti-Christ." Do you not see that today? We know the truth. We've heard the lies of man, maybe we even bought into them for a season but as we know, the truth shall set you free. In no other way can we ever be totally free but in Christ Jesus. We can pray, read the Bible, sing, worship Him in our hearts and minds. No man can stop that, no matter how hard he may try. No rugs, no special times of the day and we can face any direction we want, at any hour of the day! We can worship Him 24 hours a day! That is freedom. Sin is bondage. If you think not, look at a drug addict. They are slaves to their drug of choice. They will lie, steal, cheat and murder to get their drugs. They go to jail. How is that freedom? Sin is slavery; Christ Jesus is freedom. Your choice, choose wisely!
God bless and if anyone wants to choose freedom, contact me or any true man of God OR go directly to the source. Read First Corinthians 15:1-4 and trust and believe in...
Death + Burial + Resurrection = Salvation! "We are saved by Grace through faith and not of ourselves. It is a gift of God. Not of works nor deeds lest any man should boast," (Ephesians 2:8-9). You can't work, buy or earn your way into His Kingdom. By no other name can one be saved. It's that easy, simple and free! Grace won!
God Bless You All!

OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!
Thank you all for your mighty prayers for Florida! Not only is our God awesome He is also merciful. At last count, only one life was life and that was due to a heart attack. LIVES were spared! Yes, we have a lot of property damage He spared lives! We can rebuild what was lost but He veered this major storm that could have been catastrophic and that slight direction change saved countless lives. Thank you all so much. It's not quite over and we could lose electricity but I wanted you guys to know, ALL IS WELL here! We shall overcome this too. God bless you all!

Was the American Revolution Wrong? Bible Study...
First, I must say this. I saw a video recently asking millennials who America fought against in the American Revolution, what year we gained our Independence and other very obvious answers to simple questions. One said Germany in 1976. I have a HUGE problem with what our youth are being taught in schools today. History has been rewritten or not taught at all. Please pray for this to change this upcoming election. We can rewrite the books but we cannot change facts. It's embarrassing at the ignorance of our children today. Many are being taught that the holocaust was a HUGE HOAX. That infuriates me to say millions of devout Jewish people would willingly defile their bodies by getting numbers tattooed on their bodies to perpetrate a huge hoax on the world. That should offend every Christian and Jew alike. Stand for TRUTH of God and history!
I hate war! However, if we had not gotten involved in WW2, how many more Jews would have died? Would Hitler have gotten the nuclear weapon first? If so, what would the world be like today? The objection of war should be to stop evil and oppression. I don't understand the war we're fighting today. No objective, no reason. If rulers become oppressive and take away certain religions or races, someone has to fight against it. I believe our Military should be for defense AND offense. We must stand against tyranny. All people should be free to worship as they choose, even if it's not MY religion. I cannot, as I've heard many, say that Islam should be wiped off the face of the earth. As that is their belief about Christianity, how is that any different? We should pray that they find Christ Jesus, not for them to be eradicated. However, we cannot allow them to take away our right to worship Creator God Yahwey. We have to find a way to live in harmony with each other and if we can achieve that, without war or murder, then maybe, just maybe, they will see that the Word of God, the Holy Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit of Yawhey, Jehovah, Father God, Christ Jesus, Yeshua or whatever name you prefer (I do NOT believe that God is offended by how you His Name for He is the ONLY Living God and knows who you are speaking to, otherwise you're saying He's not "all knowing." In fact, I believe in Revelation when Jesus Christ returns, a new name will be written on His forehead so the fact is, we do not KNOW His true name. God is much bigger than a name.
In fact, I feel completely fine calling Him DAD. He's my Father! How much more "personal" can you be? God is not that petty. In fact, He is NOT petty at all. He loves us. I bet if you knew He existed but didn't ever know His name and called him "Bob," I seriously doubt He'd be upset. I do believe we should be reverent but God loves to play with His children, just like all good fathers and He is THE VERY BEST FATHER EVER! So, whatever name you call Him, be it Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Yahwey, YWVY, Jehovah, Creator Almighty God, He knows we're crying out to Him. Worship Him with praise, glory and thanksgiving. We will never know peace until He returns but we can have peace in heart and mind and most certainly we individuals can do our very best to make peace with mankind. Love thy enemies and pray for them.
War was never God's plan for mankind. I doubt He's happy about it now but no more using Him as an excuse to murder or to commit acts of war or terrorism but if one does, we must defend our right to continue worshiping Him as we choose!
I am a pacifist but I will never sit quietly by and let this country take God away from US, force US to worship strange/false gods and I will stand for Christ Jesus always. We were warned these days were coming!
God bless, be safe, and for those of us in Florida, I am praying for us all, the same for Georgia and South Carolina. Be safe and blessed!

BY HIS BLOOD - BY ABALONEKID
BY HIS BLOOD (we don't plead His blood! HE DOES 4 US 24/7)
TRUSTING IN JESUS CHRIST FOR WHAT HE HAS ALREADY PROMISED AND PROVIDED
Heb.7:
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (BY HIS BLOOD! IN HEAVEN)
Hebrews 9:
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
HE IS PLEADING HIS BLOOD 24/7 FOR US!!!
1 John 2:
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
WE HAVE VICTORY OVER OUR DAILY SINS BY HIM: OUR HIGH PRIEST! (HAVE WE COME TO HIM IN PRAYER TODAY ABOUT OUR SINS?)
BE A WINNER DAILY IN CHRIST AND BY HIS BLOOD!
The Bible gives us numerous instructions in victorious living in Christ, and pleading "the blood of Jesus" IS NOT ONE. WHY ? Because we have been cleansed by the blood of Christ and He is our High Priest and mediator who" Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25). As His sheep we are ALREADY under His protection, we simply need to live day by day trusting in Him for what He has already promised and provided.
Do We Sin? YES. Does Jesus keep us in Him by His blood? YES. Are we to go to our Father daily thru Jesus and confess our sin (s) YES.
Will our broken fellowship and crippled ministry be renewed daily by prayer to our Father through Jesus ? YES. Can we be filled with the Holy Spirit daily for powerful service BY HIS BLOOD? YES!!! It is Jesus our high priest 24/7 who does this ALL for us! 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:1-2
BIBLE BASED TRUTH WE NEED TO HOLD FAST TO
IN THE PAST (Heading to HELL & the Lake of Fire)
We were bound for judgment of God on our sins and a conscious state lived in some bodily form forever in the Lake of Fire with Satan and his minions and all those who died IN their sins from the beginning! All this you KNOW!
WE BELIEVED THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (thank God someone shared it with us! )
This was who we were before we believed HIS BLOOD paid the price we could not, for the judgment on all our sins! Let us give Glory to our Lord and Savior! Let us go on in His service that our breaths and the beats of our heart count for Him. Let us be One body, single minded in Christ service, always looking for that precious sure hope, when we, sleeping or living, hear His call to come up. And then, so shall we ever:
BE WITH OUR LORD, PERFECTED IN HIM, AND ETERNAL IN NEWNESS OF SPIRITUAL BODY FOREVER...AND ALL BECAUSE:
BY HIS BLOOD!
Redemption, "to deliver by paying a price." In the New Testament is the record of the fulfillment of the Old Testament types and prophecies of redemption through the sacrifice of Christ. The completed truth is set forth in the three words which are translated "redemption":
(1) agorazo, "to purchase in the market." The underlying thought is of a slave-market. The subjects of redemption are "sold under sin" Rom 7:14 but are, moreover, under sentence of death Ezek. 18:4, Jn.3:18-19, Rom. 3:19, Gal 3:10, and the purchase price is the blood of the Redeemer who dies in our place. Gal. 3:13, 2 Cor. 5:21, Mt. 20:28; Mk. 10:45, 1Tim. 2:6, 1Pet. 1:18.
Gal.3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
(2) exagorazo, "to buy out of the market." We the redeemed are never again to be exposed to sale; Gal.4:5, Col.4:5
(3) lutroo, "to loose," "to set free by paying a price" Jn. 8:32, Gal. 4:4-5, 31; 5:13, Rom. 8:21. Redemption is by sacrifice and by power. Christ paid the price, the Holy Spirit makes deliverance actual in our experience. Rom. 8:2.
BY HIS BLOOD
The blood of Christ is the basis of the New Covenant. On the night before He went to the cross, Jesus offered the cup of wine to His disciples and said, "...This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:20).
Not only does the blood of Christ redeem believers from sin and eternal punishment, but "14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9:14 ). This means that not only are we now free from having to offer sacrifices which are "useless" to obtain salvation, but we are free from having to rely on worthless and unproductive works of the flesh to please God. Because the blood of Christ has redeemed us, we are now new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and by His blood we are freed from sin to serve the living God, to glorify Him, and to enjoy Him forever.
The Bible gives us numerous instructions in victorious living in Christ, and pleading "the blood of Jesus" is not one of them. WHY ? Because we have been cleansed by the blood of Christ and He is our High Priest and mediator who" Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25). As His sheep we are ALREADY under His protection, we simply need to live day by day trusting in Him for what He has already promised and provided.
Romans 3:24-26
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (past refers to those faithful of the Old Testament times who looked ahead, in faith, to the coming of the final God offering for their sins: Jesus Christ; See *Hebrews 9:15 below))
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Revelation 1:5
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
John 6:53
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (See John 8:56; Rom.3:25 )
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 2:
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
