Behold, The Lord Cometh With Ten Thousands Of His Saints

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

When The Precepts Of Men Micro Manage The Flock Of God

Every church that I have ever attended had a prayer ministry. Prayer is one of the heart beats of the church. Prayer is important, and Jesus said "My House shall be called a house of prayer". There are many scriptures in the Bible that speak of prayer from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations. There are many accounts of Christ praying, the Apostles praying, and also many accounts within the old testament about prayer.

Prayer in many ways is the lifeline of our communication with God. Through prayer we communicate with God, make our requests known to Him, enter into His presence and stand the gap as watchmen for others. It is good to pray for others. In fact, it is a humble privilege to pray for others.

In the book of Acts prayer and the laying on of hands are mentioned in various sections of scripture. In many church's today prayer and the laying on of hands is actively pursued and the ministry of the Holy Spirit flows freely.

Actually God made prayer very simple. It doesn't take some spiritual giant to pray for people. It just takes a willing vessel to step out in faith and allow the Holy Spirit to be the Holy Spirit. It's when fear, lack of faith, a religious spirit, the precepts of men and having a good church service show gets in the way and hinders the Holy Spirit, that prayer ministries become in affective. That well scripted situations.

It amazes me how we sometimes turn the Kingdom of God into this well micro managed process as if we could add something to it. It amazes me how we sometimes take the simplest of things and make them difficult and within that process diminish the power of such and the anointing of God among us. I somehow don't think Jesus had that in mind.

Thank God For Great Worship Leaders & Christian Music

Thank God for all the wonderful Christian artists, musicians and song writers that give us such awesome praise and worship music. Just imagine a church service without great worship music to worship the Lord to. Personally for me without praise and worship, I'd be lost. Over the years, we all have been blessed through various artists, groups and worship songs. I'm sure that you have your favorite artists, groups and various praise and worship songs.

Here are some great sites that showcase some great praise and worship music. One is Christian Music which has an excellent website. Another is Vineyard Music which is one of my favorites and another is Maranatha Music which is also another excellent ministry site.

Remember, it is good to worship the Lord.

Catch us on Twitter at ChristBlogger and if you haven't joined Twitter, I encourage you to.

The Best It Yet To Come

All things are possible with God and I believe that for those who trust Christ, the best is yet to come. Yes Rome may be encountering problems, but for those who are a part of God's Kingdom here on earth, I believe the best is yet to come.

May your faith be increased and may the Holy Spirit encourage you in the fact that God is seated on the Throne and is in control. Have a blessed day, week and years end as 2009 soon comes to a close. May your holiday season be filled with love, peace and joy and may Christ arise in your hearts.

God Can Turn The Worst Of Situations Into Blessings

Very few people look towards God when things are going well. Truth is they are usually to busy and consumed to think about God. However, when times become difficult or troubles come, that's when we all seem to call out to God. Sometimes God takes the worst of situations and circumstances and turns them into blessings. We of course can't see this in the beginnings or as it's unfolding, but as time passes we do.

If your encountering difficulties let me encourage you to call out to God through times of prayer, worship and simply taking the time to share fellowship with Him. You just might find all your difficulties being turned into blessings as time passes.

Sure Mercies

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Blessings and drink deep, the goodness of God.

When Things Start Becoming Difficult

Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.

The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.

We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.

A Word Of Encouragement

I just want to encourage you that in these times of financial hardships that God still loves you, and cares for you. Many times when things around us seem un certain, we can wonder where God is in the midst of things. Well God is still seated on the throne and His love for us has not changed. He will not leave, or forsake us. You see God is never changing. The seasons of life may change, but God does not.

Blessings, in the love of God

When That Old Man Rises Up

As we come to know God and His ways, our walk with God and as a Christian goes through many seasons and challenges. We encounter many of the same situations and circumstances in life that we did prior to becoming a Christian. The difference is that as the seasons unfold hopefully we mature and character comes forth, as we look at and see things differently. The old man starts to pass away and as new creations in Christ, the birthing process unfolds.

Sometimes we fall back into old patterns, however as the holy Spirit brings conviction to us, we find ourselves seeking the forgiveness and direction of a loving Savior. It is written that Jesus will complete the good work that He has begun in us. Now that's good news, knowing that Christ will never leave us or forsake us, and that our precious Lord is always there to hold our hand and lead us in the ways of righteousness.

Thank God that we have such a loving, compassionate and forgiving Savior.

Encounters Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

I think it would be fair to say that the Bible is filled with some mysterious, weird, and strange things. I could list many many scriptures that you might agree with me on. But to save some time how about chariots of fire, an axe head floating in water, a man named Elijah that killed 100's of men with a knife no bigger than a kitchen knife, the dead coming back to life, people drinking Jesus's blood, the sons of God that came from heaven to earth, saw that the daughters of men were fair, took of them, came into them and produced giants in the land, angels appearing in human form, a woman being turned to a rock of salt, and on and on ...

I love reading the Bible and I think back to those seasons when I devoured it day after day. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. It is also the most life changing book I have ever read.

Blessings are found in the pages of the Bible.

When Evil Rises Against Us

The word evil or wickedness for that matter is rarely used these days. However there is evil and wickedness in the world. There are also principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places that wage war against mankind. The bible speaks of evil and wickedness from Genesis to the book of Revelations and gives us insight in how to deal with it. But what if you've never read the bible and you're in a battle against evil and wicked forces that have come against you, your life, your family and your home?

If you haven't read on these subjects here's a easy way to get started. Just visit blueletterbible.com and perform a word search on evil or wickedness. You could also perform word searches on other words like love, savior, Christ, salvation and many other words. It's fun and filled with wisdom.

Stories Of Success

Life is filled with stories of success that have been authored by many people. However many times these story writers have one thing in common and that is that success escapes them. Many times they impress others with the success of someone else or a relative as if they have laid claim to such. Other times financial success is passed down to some and they have a tendacy to impress others not with what they earned, but what was given to them. If one performs a word search on the Internet for success, 100's of thousands of links will come forth all giving you the secret formula for success.

There is one scripture in the word of God with the word success. Imagine that. It reads "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

The Road Map To Success On Earth And Heavenly Blessings

Just imagine if your house was not built on concrete, but rather sand. Things could become very unstable at any given time. A earthquake could occur, or a winter storm. There could be a flood, or even a mudslide. The results could be very bad. Just imagine all the potential possibilities for disaster if your house was built on sand. Now imagine your life being built on sand.

Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

They key is reading, knowing, understanding and holding onto the sayings of Jesus.

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

Put A Smile On Your Child's Face

This evening we are attending a special celebration gathering. Some worship, lots of great food and fellowship and of course all the kids will have a blast. All week long my daughter has been counting the days with great excitement about tonight's gathering. She's only five, yet she's so excited about attending tonight. Just the thought and excitement of attending has brought her happiness.

It's such a blessing to see children smile and filled with excitement and joy. Remember those days.

Church Gone Wild

It amazes me some of the things that are said of church people. Yes, they shout, sing, clap, dance, laugh, have fun and get pretty crazy at times. Now if you do those things in a bar, at a football game, a basketball game or any other sports gathering, well it's perfectly OK. If you do it over a six pack, you're cool. If you do it at a party where every one's intoxicated, it's acceptable. But church? No way, right?

Church, gone wild. Church should be filled with joy, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. Church should be overflowing and filled with joy. The worshippers should be leaping with joy, shouting, clapping, dancing and having a blast. Besides, who likes a boaring church?

Blessings, in the joy of the Lord
