BTW, I am not politicizing this blog but will post any relevant political news as far as our rights and the support of Israel. I do NOT endorse any candidate but I am very much anti-Hillary. VOTE for whoever you feel God wants in office. We have a voice, please use it for the good!

Hillary Deleting Emails
A very good conservative Christian video in regards to our government and Hillary's illegal actions. Please watch! He knows the Bible and he knows what he is talking about. May help guide you Spiritually on what to do this November or better...what NOT to do! God bless and be not OF this world but remember, we do live in it and we need to be sure to vote so that we do not lose our rights to worship Almighty YWYW AND CHRIST JESUS! God bless all.
ONE VOICE, ONE ACCORD - BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN
This man makes so much sense. We all agree the sky is blue but we're arguing to the death of the shade. We need to STOP this nonsense, get out of our "religions," focus on what God and Christ Jesus tells us and not fighting. Be of ONE VOICE, ONE ACCORD. If you are a Christian arguing over what Matthew 24:3 or Genesis 9:16 (random verses, of no special meaning), STOP IT. The title is "Did Obama Just Rig the Election" but it says so much more than that. It's not political. Stand together or we all fall! God bless and much love to all in Christ Jesus!
MUST WATCH!!!!
I'm not saying this is what's going to happen but I believe every single Christian needs to watch this now! Whether it happens or not in October, I bet within a short period of time it will. We are going to be kept quiet. People, wake the HELL UP! God bless and you have today...you may NOT have tomorrow! We need to be aware of what MAY happen. For fun, Google Project Blue Beam. It's gonna sound really off-the-wall but I say you better be aware than caught off guard cos I wouldn't put anything past the governments in this world today. Much love in Christ Jesus to ALL PEOPLE!
Word of Truth Lighthouse Blog
This is a great blog for Christians and those seeking. She's a good friend of mine so please visit and link to her if you have a blog of your own...and mine too, lol! Much love in Christ Jesus.

OUR WORLD IS GOING TO HELL
Watch and decide for yourself. I don't know what to say! God bless you and please, if you're not sure you're saved, do so now! God is bigger than your doubts and disbelief. Give Him a chance, please. You'll be amazed at what He can and will do in your life. We have listened to "man" for hundreds of years, we've stopped listening to the Word of God and this is what happens when you leave our Creator out of His Creation. God bless you all!

TO ALL THE SAINTS OF GOD, I SALUTE HIS FAITH IN ACTION IN YOU.
The Love Of God Our Savior Unites Us
"I will give you pastors according to my own heart who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15
BUT WE START IN THE HERE AND NOW IN LIFE ABUNDANT,
HOPE ETERNAL, ANCHORED IN CHRIST, ASSURED, SECURE, UNCONDITIONALLY DELIVERED AFTER WE FIRST BELIEVED,
NEEDING WASHING'S DAILY, PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, FULFILLING HIS COMMANDS ALWAYS IN HIS LOVE!!!
WHAT WE SOW HERE TOGETHER IN THE FAITH
WE EACH WILL REAP FOR ETERNITY! AMEN...
ON EAGLES WINGS
In the hands of God our Father,
through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,
by the power and presence of God The Holy Spirit in us,
we fly on eagles wings toward a destination
that is called Eternity, to reside in the New Jerusalem above,
explore galaxies uncountable, in the perfection of Jesus Christ
in whom, by GOD'S unmerited favor,
we were chosen, predestined, elect and called
to be born and live for His Glory in this time,
receiving through faith, to the extent of our faith,
unending blessings, unassailable truths, and spiritual growth ,
perfected at Christ's call to "come up. (Abalone Kid)
MAY GOD OUR FATHER, AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, RICHLY BLESS US IN GREAT ABUNDANCE, FOR THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.
IN HIM, WE ARE THE LIGHT IN THE WORLD. LET IT SHINE!
Salvation is Christ and everything we do in His Spirit is worthy of us for His glory. Our dead self was buried with Him.He rose and we IN Him. He lives to make intercession for us daily. 1 John 2:1-2. For what purpose? So we can live our life from above, the one Christ secured for us as the Gospel so states that we believe. What we received is ineradicable for it rests on Christ's finished work and nothing in heaven or earth or elsewhere! will change that unconditional blessing (John.Chap. 17).
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3

Rom. 13:11-12 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
1 Cor. 1:
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
James 5:
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming;
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure."
Jude 20- 21 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

LABOR - Shared by AbaloneKid (Chaim)
LABOR
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
"And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalms 90:17
Jesus had a great deal to say about labor. He knew that a laboring man needs rest and recreation.
We Americans have Labor Day--a day in which the wheels of industry stop and the entire nation is reminded of the tremendous contribution that labor has made to the American way of life.
Jesus Himself was a laboring man. In His biography we are told that He was a carpenter. Wouldn't you like to have been able to spend a day in Joseph's little shop and to watch Jesus use the hammer and saw?
Sometimes we forget that Jesus was human as well as divine He had calluses on His hands. If the chisel had slipped and cut His fingers, His blood would have been red and warm like ours. He knew what it meant to work long hours, to come in at night tired and weary.

GRACE by Bob Hildreth on Google Plus
One of the greatest misunderstandings I have found about the Love of God is the idea that it is loving and supportive of religion as long as its my religion!
Let’s be clear – religion is man’s attempt to control God or to see God in a way that excludes others. Grace is dancing in the Light and Love of God and allowing others to dance with unconditional Love for what they call dancing!
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.” – Matthew 3:7-8
John the Baptist had no difficulty saying what needed to be said and no one will ever accuse a man who lived on locust and wild honey as being weak. He called people out and he called them to repent – but wait – they were following the law – what did they need to repent from?
Is it possible that a person can be religiously wise and spiritually stupid?
Repentance is turning from the idea that you could do Anything to save yourself, turning from the concept that your works have any value and switching to seeing God as Love instead of God as an effort based self-improvement program! Repentance is the idea that Love Is the hallmark and the path to Being like God!
Repentance therefore is not so much about what you do but the motive of the heart, the reason behind the doing with this in mind – is it being done out of True Love and Compassion?
If not then you are just a clanging cymbal polished with filthy rags and Not resting in the Truth of He Who finished making you Whole on the cross!
Want to know and see the Goodness of God? Look at what He Is, what He seeks from you and how much He desperately wants to see us in the Light of His Freedom!
What Is God? “God Is Love”
What He seeks from you? “Love one another”
How does He want to see us in the Light of His Freedom? “while we were yet enemies Christ died for us”

THE GOOD OR THE BEST by Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHESTT
"If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left: (Genesis 13:9)
As soon as you begin to live the life of faith in God, fascinating and physically gratifying possibilities will open up before you. These things are yours by right, but if you are living the life of faith you will exercise your right to waive your rights, and let God make your choice for you. God sometimes allows you to get into a place of testing where your own welfare would be the appropriate thing to consider, if you were not living the life of faith. But if you are, you will joyfully waive your right and allow God to make your choice for you. This is the discipline God uses to transform the natural into the spiritual through obedience to His voice.
Whenever our right becomes the guiding factor of our lives, it dulls our lives, it dulls our spiritual insight. The greatest enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but good choices which are not quite good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best. In this passage, it would seem that the wisest thing in the world for Abram to do would be to choose. It was his right, and the people around him would consider him a fool for not choosing.
Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us. We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God. And God says to us, as He did to Abram, " . . . walk before Me . . . " (Genesis 17:1).

THE "ACTS" OF THE APOSTLES - INFORMATION
The Acts of the Apostles - A Transitional Book After the Ascension into Heaven
Jesus' last recorded words have come to be known as the Great Commission: "Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea (Jews), and in Samaria (Gentiles), and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (1:8). The Book of Acts, written by Luke, is the story of the men and women who took that commission seriously and began to spread the news of a risen Savior to the most remote corners of the known world.
Each section of the book (1-7; 8-12; 13-28) focuses on a particular audience, a key personality, and a significant phase in the expansion of the Gospel of the message.
As the second volume in a two-part work by Luke, this book probably had no separate title. But all available Greek manuscripts designate it by the title Praxeis, "Acts," or by an expanded title like "The Acts of the Apostles." Praxeis was commonly used in Greek literature to summarize the accomplishments of outstanding men. While the Apostles are mentioned collectively at several points, this book really records the acts of Peter (1-12) and of Paul (13-28).

GENESIS - ABOUT THE BOOK
The Book of Genesis - Information on the Book of the Beginning of the Word of God
The first part of Genesis focuses on the beginning and spread of sin in the world and culminates in the devastating flood in the days of Noah. The second part of the book focuses on God's dealings with one man, Abraham, through whom God promises to bring salvation and blessing to the world. Abraham and his descendants learn firsthand that it is always safe to trust the Lord in times of famine and feasting, blessing and bondage. From Abraham...to Issac...to Jacob...to Jospeph...God's promises begin to come to fruitition in a great nation possessing a great land.
Genesis is a Greek word meaning "origin," "source," "generation," or "beginning." The original Hebrew title Bereshith means "In the Beginning."
The literary structure of Genesis is clear and is built around eleven separate units, each including the word generations in the phrase "These are the generations" or "The book of generations": (1) Introduction to the Geneaologies (1:1-23); (2) Heaven and Earth (2:4-4:26); (3) Adam (5:1-6:8); (4) Noah (6:9-9:29); (5) Sons of Noah (10:1-11:9); (6) Shem (11:10-26); (7) Terah (11:27-25:11); (8) Ishmael (25:12-18); (9) Issac (25:19-35:29) (10) Esau (36:1-37:1); (11) Jacob (37:25-50:26).
The first part of Genesis focuses on the beginning and spread of sin in the world and culminates in the devastating flood in the days of Noah. The second part of the book focuses on God's dealings with one man, Abraham, through whom God promises to bring salvation and blessing to the world. Abraham and his descendants learn firsthand that it is always safe to trust the Lord in times of famine and feasting, blessing and bondage. From Abraham...to Issac...to Jacob...to Jospeph...God's promises begin to come to fruitition in a great nation possessing a great land.

WORLD EVENTS - STRANGE WEATHER, UFOs, FAMINES DROUGHTS AND PESTILENCE
I'm sharing these videos not to scare you as they aren't fear-mongering as many are use to seeing. These are stories about what is going on in the world as far as wars, weather, UFOs, and many other real-time occurrences in the world today. Some will even be about dreams and visions. The ones I share are the ones that may vastly differ but at the end, the message is all the same.
Let me also say a few things. One, I am not saying we are in the end times NOR am I saying we are not. God hasn't revealed that to me nor do I think He will. What I strongly feel I told me...yes, God speaks to me but I not audibly. Well, maybe a few times but more on that later. We may not be in the end times BUT...we should live as if we are. In fact, we only know we have right now, this very minute to accept the saving grace of Jesus Christ. It's free and easy. You won't come to Him intellectually. Your mind is an enmity to God. Faith is trust and belief in things unseen and unknown. It's not hard. Everybody has faith in something or someone unseen.
For example, we have faith that if we paid our bill and there are no outages, if we turn on our electrical appliances, most will come on, if not all. We can't see electricity but we trust it works. It does! If not, we KNOW we either forgot to pay the bill or the "thing" that didn't work is broken. Not too difficult, right?
We all know that George Washington was born and became the first president of the United States of America. How? We weren't alive then and we sure can't talk to him now. He's dead and buried. How do we know? Because there is sufficient information in books written by men who were eyewitnesses to his life. No one doubts his existence or most of what's written about him. There's legends, like the cherry tree and throwing a silver dollar across a river, but we believe that most of what we hear is true. He's a man. How many people died or lived their lives in fear of telling about his life? Probably none! I feel pretty safe in saying that.
However, when it comes to Christ Jesus and the Bible, people just cannot believe it's true. Do you honestly think these men and women were less intelligent than us? I say the opposite is more likely to be true. After all, they had to read books, memorize things, use very rudimentary tools, yet they not only managed to survive but thrive. Babylon is still known today as THE richest and greatest empire that ever existed. The accuracy of the book of Daniel has been examined because it is so right than many felt he had to have written it after the fall of Babylon. The good news, it passed the test of time.
Jesus Christ's disciples, except for John, were all killed for spreading the Gospel of Christ Jesus. They devoted their entire lives in terror to get the news out to the world. The early church consisted of Jews. How many people do you know that is that willing to die for a lie? Not many! The Bible is still the most sold and most unread book of all times. It is also the most misunderstood.
Do you understand every book YOU read? No! Does that mean just because you don't understand physics or astronomy that what the writers say is false? No! So why do you think these men who wrote the Bible lied? They didn't. It's that simple. There's so much proof of the Bible and when read correctly, science doesn't disprove it. In fact, it actually upholds it. Evolution of fish to man or slime to man has been proven false over and over. Get over it. Even many scientists are saying we had to have had an intelligent designer, they just fall short of saying Creator Yawhey God!
The plan of salvation is at the bottom of this blog. Read it, trust it and accept it. You don't have to change, God will change YOU and it will be fantastic. Not perfect but so much better than what you have without Him. Anyone who thinks that being a follower of Jesus Christ is slavery has never had a real encounter with Him. It's 100% liberty. Free of guilt, hate, anger and being happy with what you have. Sin is slavery. Money is slavery. Christ Jesus is freedom. Try it! You will be pleasantly surprised! God bless all. I hope you'll at least watch some of the videos to see the truth of what's going on and how the Bible foretold it. You want proof, watch and see. God bless you all!

THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, CHRIST JESUS - By: Derrick Brooks
Matthew 28 King James Version (KJV)
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen

THE FIRST FALSE CHURCH - By: Eligah Barrett on Google Plus
THE ORIGIN OF THE GREAT FALSE CHURCH
GOD'S NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OFFICIALLY BEGAN ON THE DAY of Pentecost, June 17, 31 A.D.
REVELATION 2 CALLS THIS FIRST Era of the Church the Ephesus era. This era could not have had a better beginning. Christ personally laid its foundation. Luke is the unquestioned author of the book of Acts. He wrote it around A.D. 62, thirty one years after the true Church began. It was written to a man named Theophilus as a companion book to Luke's gospel account Acts1:1.
Bibles cho Lars agree that the book of Acts contains important early Church history. But a close study of this book reveals that it's history is quite selective. Luke's accouterments is best known as the Acts of the Apostles. However, the book is silent on the acts of at least 10 of the original Apostles. Does that mean these Apostles did not do an important work? Absolutely not! They did many mighty works.
In this book, Luke records only those events that affected the early Church in a major way. His exclusion of certain events shows that God canonized only those events that were vital for God's Church of the future to know.
The Ephesus era began very small. Christ led His disciples for 3 1/2 years, and then the world killed Him. Verse 15 reveals that even after all of Christ's preaching and miracles, there were only 120 disciples!
MOST OF THE PERSECUTION AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE CAME FROM FALSE RELIGION. If Christ physically headed a little group today, this world would kill Him again! The chief culprit would be false religion.
On the day of Pentecost after Christ's death, the original disciples and new converts were given the Holy Spirit and inflamed with a, passion to proclaim Christ gospel. The newly spirit begotten Church had a significant impact on the people and society, beginning at Jerusalem. The Ephesus era began to grow. Three thousand members were added during the Pentecost season Acts 2:1, 41.
The fantastic events of Pentecost in A.D. 31 began to create a stir within the Jewish community and among Jewish leaders Acts 2. Then came a dramatic healing of a man just outside the temple gate called Beautiful Acts 3. This man was well known as having been lame from birth. Many had given him alms before entering the temple grounds. Not many days after Pentecost, Peter and John were entering the temple. When this man begged for money, they healed him instead. Peter and John were immediately summoned before the Jewish high council. They were threatened yet they were undaunted!
The preaching of Christ's gospel gained momentum. The Church experienced rapid growth from 120 to about 5000 members by the time of Acts 4:4. This growth provoked serious persecution. Jewish leaders became incensed and fearful. The Apostles were thrown in prison Acts 5:18. An angel released them and told them to return to the temple and preach. When they obeyed, the Work grew even more.
Jewish leaders wanted to stop this new, overzealous faction. Their persecution became far more intense and deadly. Men, women and even whole families were slaughtered.
Stephen, one of the original seven deacons, was a man of faith and zeal. God was able to work many miracles through him and his work was noticed. Stephen was arrested and brought before the Jewish council. At his trial, in his own defense, Stephen preached a convicting and condemning sermon Acts 7. His message of truth enraged the Jews. The high priest and council went mad.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stone Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep verses 57-60. These religious leaders stoned Stephen to death. HIS ONLY CRIME WAS PREACHING GOD'S TRUTH! Remember, these men represented a religion that talked much about love! May God protect us from such loving religious!
