Divine Love

The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied
For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love
A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, it’s filling up the room
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied
For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love

Amen! This is a true romance right here! A Divine Romance. There are a few different Greek words used in the Bible that will be translated as "Love." The first is EROS which is where we get the term erotic. It is of a sexual nature. More like Lust than Love. Secondly we have the word Philia which means friendship. And lastly we have the Greatest which is Agape! Agape is a divine love! Its the Love Christ had for us when he laid down his life for us on Calvary! I believe we only have Agape love for very few actual people in our lives! We should have it for God as Christians but this is Agape love to me: A love in which you would give your life for. Husband and wives should have Agape love for each other if they are truly God's will for the other. Agape love might be the love you have for a friend or family member but it is not something you just have for a random friend. If you would give your life for someone you have Agape love. A Divine love. But there is only one divine romance the relationship you have with Jesus Christ!!

Oh Yeah And LOVE IS NOT AN EMOTION IT IS A COMMITMENT!

WE BELIEVE!!!!

We Believe in the Father

And We believe the universe

And all therein is His

As a loving heavenly Father

He yearned to save us all

To lift us from the fall

We Believe in Jesus

The Father's only Son

Exsisting, Uncreated

Before time had begun

A sacrifice for sin

He died the rose again

To ransom sinful men

We Believe

We Believe in the Spirit

Who makes believers one

Our hearts are filled with his presence

The COMFORTOR HAS COME

The Kingdom unfolds in His plan

Unhindered by cause of man

I hope that this song does not offend anyone but let me say that if it does I will never apologize for what WE BELIEV! My God ,a triune being the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit all the same but different personalities, is THE REAL GOD!! My God the Father created us all and sent His SOn to save us from the damnation of HELL!!! My Lord Jesus Christ being faultless and perfect laid down his life for mine and everyone in this world!! The Holy Spirit burdened my heart and convicted be to trust in the Lord Jesus and now he endwells my soul and will send me to heaven when I die or when my Lord Jesus comes back like he says He will!! Hey if you proclaim yourself as a Christian you believe this too and if you don't check out what you believe and make sure you are saved because this is how WE BELIEVE!!! NO EXCUSES!! And please do not believe this is directed at anyone inparticular because I know that ya'll believe this and I am directing this to everyone!! I want all the Earth to know of my God and his SOn and the Holy Spirit that is in me!!!!

Christ-Likeness

I believe that my Lord Jesus CHrist was a mans man! He was a carpenter and carpenters are strong and smart and rugged! When I am told that preachers that preach hard are not being Crist-Like I ask "Why?" Is it because we do not see Christ like he is portraited as an ifeminine Sissifed weak man?? In Matthew Chapter Twelve Jesus is preaching to the Pharisees and in a few verses you could say he was not soft and delicate in his aproach! "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Do you think our Lord was soft spoken when he said that and called them a Generation of Vipers and Evil?! NO he wasn't. Now don't get me wrong I believe preachers should be encouragers and helpers and show people how to get through situations and teach them in the ways they ought to go but there is also a time when a preacher should tell them whats what and how that they are wrong and what thed need to do about it! And again in my last blog I said something about other versions of the Bible and believe me when I say i believe that there is only one version worth reading but I did not mean if you read that version then you are horrible. My belief is that there is a reason that Bible is worded the way it is. It is a direct translation of the Words spoken by God and that is holy to me. When you can completly change a verse in the bible and make it say instead of "In my fathers house there are many mansions" to saying "In my fathers home there are many rooms" it makes no sense to me. My Lord went away to prepare me a mansion not a room! He told me in the word he left to prepare me a mansion! I will give you some examples that mainly apply to the KJV vs the NIV and they include to complete omision of Matthew 18:11. I refuse number on to read a bible that completely removes a statement my Lord said. Lets look at the verse that should be there though! "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost" Come now and lets reason together!!! That makes no sense that a verse of that magnitude should be eliminated completely!! ANother example of a completley ommited verse is Acts 8:37 which says And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God!! In Micah 5:2 the KJV and our Lord said "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting." but in the NIV it says "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times" close but you listen to me my God is not from ancient times!! My God is an eternal God from everlasting past to everlasting future and when a group of "scholars" decided to get together and decided what was right to put in the bible and whats not then I don't want anything to do with it!! Luke 2:33 says "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him." but in the NIV it says "The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him." This to me is taking away from the number one diety of my God and number two the virgin birth!!!!! Multiple times instead of saying Joseph and his mother the NIV says HIS PARENTS!!! He had an eartly mother but he had no earthly father!! He had an earthly step father but my God has only one true Father!! Now i know that maybe this will makes some mad but the proff is in the reading! Look up these verses I have stated and if need be here's a website with MULTIPLE changes showing not only the NIV verse but also the KJV verse!! http://www.searchthescriptures.com/newsletters/foundations.htm
Now like i said the last time as the KJV says in Psalms 199:140 "Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it." which by the way the NIV says "Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them" thus taking another verse and changing it so it will not contridict the fact that they are changing the PURE word of GOD!!

don't get comfortable!

In the Bible we are called to SEEK God's Will, and not only seek it but to ACCEPT IT. It says "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6. Listen to God when he calls you! No matter how much sense it makes just follow! If it is truly His will He will keep you and you can not fail unless you get out of his will. "Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness." Psalm 143:10. Follow God into the land of uprightness! If you get afraid to follow God then you fail to do what we are called to do as Christians which is to Seek God's Will and accept it! As a Christian living in the BIBLE BELT I had become acustom to just speaking the life of a Christian. I was PLAYING CHRISTIAN by going to church and and saying that I was right but truly I was just getting comfortable not FOLLOWING GODS WILL. When we just sit in church and say amen and sing the nice songs but listen when I say that we should not sit and sing songs like Blessed Assurance and Victory in Jesus and The Old-Rugged Cross without feeling something inside of us! ON A HILL FAR AWAY STOOD AND OLD-RUGGED CROSS! Just those words should stir you everytime you hear or sing it!! Listen we have no reason to get comfortable! When we read books like Isaiah 53 when it says "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." we should be stirred up inside and feel good and want to do all we can for our Lord Jesus that died for us!! Listen when you pick up your King James Bible, I didn't say you NIV, NLT, NKJV, and all those other books that have been placed in a category saying they are bibles! The KJV BIBLE says "Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it." Psalms 119:140. If thy word is pure why do we change it!! Put down that world book with a HOLY BIBLE COVER and pick up the infallible word of God and read the true WORD! And when you pick up your King James Bible and read verses that says that our God said if you destroy this temple in three days I will raise it up and unlike the other cults in this world our God actually got up! He rose like he said he would so it shouldn't be any reason we should get comfortable! We always say people get ready Jesus is coming soon but HEY how about PEOPLE GET UP AND GO GET OTHERS READY!! We have got into a Burger King type Christianity, We don't need it our way we need it HIS WAY. We need to get into the Wendys type Christianity! OLD FASHSION HOT AND JUICY! Jesus didn't place a down payment at Calvary he paid it all! AND CALVARY COVERS IT ALL!! And by the way theres no such thing as limited atonement!! Jesus died and he died for not our sins only but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD!! Grace is for everybody!!! When you have christians that choose to elected only a certain few who they will teach and preach to we are in trouble!! Why are some rich and cleaned up people elected to be preached to and told the WOrd and plan of salvation while the bus kids and poorer people down the road are elected to die and go to HELL. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief!!! Listen I believe there is no reason why we should get comfortable and let others die and go to HELL instead of FOLLOWING GODS WILL!!! The bible says I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die!!! Get up if you are saved and follow God and fear NOT!!! for God is with you! LISTEN Though he were dead, yet shall he live! Though he were dead, yet shall he live! Though he were dead, yet shall he live! Though he were dead, yet shall he live!!!!! My GOD IS ALIVE!!! MY GOD LIVES FOREVER!! HE LIVES FOREVER HE LIVES FOREVER HE LIVES FOREVER!!! There is no reason to sit and get comfortable in our Playing Church!!!!!

Give Me Your Eyes!!

Looked down from a broken sky

Traced out by the city lights

My world from a mile high

Best seat in the house tonight

Touched down on the cold black tile

Hold on for the sudden stop

Breath in the familiar shock

Of confusion and chaos

Are those people going somewhere?

Why have I never cared?
Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

Wasnt it far beyond my reach?

Give me your heart for the once forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see
Step out on a busy street

See a girl and our eyes meet

Does her best to smile at me

To hide whats underneath

Theres a man just to her right

Black suit and a bright red tie

To ashamed to tell his wife

Hes out of work

Hes buying time

Are those people going somewhere?

Why have I never cared?
Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

Wasnt it far beyond my reach?

Give me your heart for the once forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see
Ive Been there a million times

A couple of million eyes

Just moving past me by

I swear I never thought that I was wrong

Well I want a second glance

So give me a second chance

To see the way you see the people all alone

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

Wasnt it far beyond my reach?

Give me your heart for the once forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see

Isn't this so true. We as Christians should be Christ-like and see all the people suffering around us and should offer a caring hand. There are people lost and dying. Dying everyday! There going to a place called HELL!!! FOREVER THEY WILL STAY!! Why don't we ask Christ for the sight to see all of the people who are dying inside to know him! Why don't we help the people who are longing to just touch the hem of his garment! One touch could make them whole and all they need is a Christian to tell them about the true savior JESUS CHRIST!! Lord forgive me for the ones I have neglected to tell of you mercy and love and how if they died today would they know without a shadow of a doubt that they would see you in heaven! I beg your forgivness Lord and ask for your strength to tell all the world about You!! That ALL the Earth may know!! Lord let me know what you will have me do so that I can tell the people of this world about you regardless of where you send me! Why do we know see that there is one true calling off a Christian and that is to profess our Lords grace and LOVE!!

Come to Jesus

Weak and wounded sinner

Lost and left to die

O, raise your head, for love is passing by

Come to Jesus

Come to Jesus

Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted

And carried far away

And precious blood has washed away the stain, so

Sing to Jesus

Sing to Jesus

Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby

Don't be afraid to crawl

And remember when you walk

Sometimes we fall...so

Fall on Jesus

Fall on Jesus

Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely

And steep and filled with pain

So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then

Cry to Jesus

Cry to Jesus

Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over

And music fills the night

And when you can't contain your joy inside, then

Dance for Jesus

Dance for Jesus

Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat

Kiss the world goodbye

Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and

Fly to Jesus

Fly to Jesus

Fly to Jesus and live!

Another amazing song to express what I can't say. Christ is always here for us. Why do we always look everywhere other than Jesus for help. Most people say that they looked high and low for help and as a last resort they went to Jesus, and he helped them through. Why do we go to him last! Come to Jesus! Sing to Jesus! Fall on Jesus!! Cry to Jesus! Dance for Jesus! Fly to Jesus!! Why don't we Run to Jesus when we know he's all we need! You have friends for a reason but there is no friend like Jesus! Oh what a friend we have in Jesus! Follow Jesus, Run to Jesus, Stay with Jesus! Draw nigh to the Lord and he will Draw nigh to you! The Lord gave us the right to choose for a reason and thats to choose whether to choose to be with him and believe on his Son who died for us or to walk away from eternal happiness to an eternal torment! The story of the footprints in the sand is timeless because since we have been born Jesus has been there for us with more love than we will ever know! He walks side by side in the goodtimes and will be there to carry you through in the bad and most hard times!

About The Cross

If I only had one song that I could sing

Or story I could tell before I leave

If I only had one message I could bring you

There's not question it would be

About the cross

About the blood

About the place I found God's mercy and love

And although its bitter sweet

Remebering the cost

There's something beautiful

ABOUT THE CROSS!!!

I could sing about the state of grace I live in

Or the peace and joy I have when times are tough

I could talk of all the blessings I've been given

But in the end my life is just

About the cross
About the blood
About the place I found God's mercy and love
And although its bitter sweet
Remebering the cost
There's something beautiful
ABOUT THE CROSS!!!

Two thousand years ago

If I had watched him die

I think I would have lost all hope

Demanding to know "Why?"

But now I know the cross means everything

And its the honor to sing

About the cross
About the blood
About the place I found God's mercy and love
And although its bitter sweet
Remebering the cost
There's something beautiful
ABOUT THE CROSS!!!

Wow..What an amazing truth we hear in that song! Praise God that maybe one day I will get to sing that song a touch many like it has touched me. Theres nothing greater than our Lord's love. There's nothing more beautiful to me than the cross. It held all my sins on that rugged tree 2000 years ago and a praise the name of the Lamb for all he went hrough to save a wretch like me. Why did I deserve that!! When he was on the cross I was on his mind!! There's Something Beautiful About the Cross!! Everyone in this world has seen the cross. It is one of the international symbols that everyone knows. But the cross to some doesn't mean the same that it means to me. The cross to me represents love and life and all that is Holy. My Lord bled upon that cross! His precious blood flowed down the sides of that wood to cover my sins!! The cross is more beautiful to me than any symbol of peace! Only one thing saved my soul and that was the blood of my Lord Jesus and that blood covered the cross that held my sins! I could never express what the cross is to me and this song just scratches the surface of how amazing it is to know that our Lord died for us. He gave himself to die for us. He laid his own life down in the place of mine!!!

Let me explain why I have this blog and its not for attention its to proclaim that Jesus died for me as much as I can and this blog can reach farther than I can via the internet. Let me give you an example Brother Roger Thomas said the other day. Lets say your home alone and in bed and it's like 3 in the morning. Well you house catches on fire and you are fast asleep in bed and do not know. Your home is engulfed in flames before you are even aware enough to wake up. But a man is driving down your road and knows your there alone and sees your house is on fire. He breaks in and grabs you up out of your bed and runs you outside and saves your life. Would you tell anyone about how he saved you life? You would TELL EVERYONE! "This man came and saved me and put his own life on the line for mine!" Well think about that. Jesus saved us from eternal fire. Why do we not tell everyone as we would if someone would have saved us from a house fire?
