THE WORLD IS NOT THE FINAL AUTHORITY:
As I look about our country I see despair (Detroit) ,Murders rampant (Chicago), Hand outs galore (Los Angeles) and control of what you eat (New York) all mans way of controlling and enslaving. Yet through this all I see someone who has not changed; Malachi 3:6 "I am the Lord, I change not." The worlds order of things is unsure and indefinite. Desperate words of uncertainty are spoken daily from radio, television,and newspapers. Everything around us seems to be in turmoil.
The one thing I can depend on, the word of God is unchanging. I take the word as the final authority in my life, it gives me stability when all else around me is failing. When others are confused, I am confident,when under pressure, I have peace, and when overwhelmed, I am an over comer. I have decided to make Gods word the final authority, Which means believing what He says and not what the world says. I have determined in my heart to live by faith, that is the bread of life ( The Word ), not by what I see or the circumstances around me." The Lord sits enthroned for ever and He judges the world with righteousness." I have only begun to understand the love that he has for His creation and how steadfast He is to forgive.Loving ,merciful,full of grace ,and not by my will but by His. May we all delve deeply into the word and gain the wisdom put forth through the scriptures. The time spent with Him is never wasted but grows into true wisdom and understanding.....In His Love,to
.

WILL TRUTH SET THE JEW FREE?
COMMENTARY BY SID ROTH;
There are three major reasons why some Jewish people don't investigate the claims that Jesus is the Messiah. First, the mot anti-Semitic people,historically, have called themselves Christians. By definition, the name "Christian" means follower of the Messiah. Any person who is prejudiced and violent is the farthest thing from being a follower of the Messiah. These "Christians" may have worn large crosses and attended church, but their actions proved they were not followers of the Messiah,Prince of Peace.
Second,we Jews believe in one God. Believers in the Messiah also believe in one God. But God's essence is infinite,beyond complete comprehension. The rabbis even called Him the Eyn Sof-the One without End. From the scriptures, we understand that our God can manifest Himself in more than one way. There is much evidence of this in the Torah. Did you ever wonder who was with God when He made man?-" Let us make man in our image,after our likeness." (Gen,1:26). Why must the One true God be as limited as man?
Incidentally, I don't pray to the Messiah. My forefathers prayed to God through the Jewish high priest.My High Priest is Jesus. One of the reasons the Jewish people don't seek after Jesus is because the rabbis tell them they will no longer be Jewish. But if Jesus is the Messiah than there is nothing more Jewish than believing in Him! So who is Jesus? The Messiah had to be born in Bethleham according to scripture.In fact,all rabbis worldwide could save themselves a lot of trouble if they understood why Rabbi Yochanon Ben Zakkai,the architect modern-day rabbinic Judaism didn't know whether he personally would go to Heaven or Hell. A rabbi asked " If a blind man follows another blind man,won't they both fall into a ditch?"
Is there life after death? what do the Jewish scriptures tell us; Daniel12:1-2,says " At that time shall thy people be delivered, everyone that is written in the book of life "Is your name in the book of life? Think for yourself.

FROM YESTER-YEAR TO TODAY
READING DUET.7;
We are a chosen people and the Lord is keeping His oath that he swore to our forefathers. Know therefore that the Lord our God is faithful, He who keeps covenant and love to those who love Him and keep His laws and commandments; to a thousand generations! He will not be slack to repay the ones who hate Him .
( Job34:11) "For according to the work of a man He will repay him..."and because we keep His commandments He will keep us with His steadfast love and we shall be blessed above all people.And He will take away all our sickness and none of the evil diseases will he inflict on you. 2Pet.3:9, " the Lord is not slow to fulfill His promises as some count slowness but is patient towards you(us) with His steadfast love, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."AMEN!
Duet.8:3...." That He might make you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Fear God and walk in His ways,and bless Him for all the good He has given you. And take care lest we forget the Lord our God by not keeping His commandments. Be careful to not let gold and silver,houses and land, or the things of this world be lifted up in your heart and we soon forget the Lord our God. Be careful not to say that by the power of your hand has brought you all these things, for surely you shall perish for not obeying the voice of the Lord.
I ask myself is this what our government has done? Are we turning blind and deaf to the laws of the land[Constitution] I'm not speaking of religion but the commandments of God included in our constitution.We reap what we sow,and is our government rebelling against those inalienable rights.We see the the perversion and destruction of our constitution and the government by the people is now people for the government! What next shall we see as the evil world arms itself with nuclear power, possibly one world government to keep the free enslaved to the powers that be? Possibly so and we might see the destruction of the world by fire(nuclear) yes evil might reign for awhile? God only knows but he has shone us away of escape through His mercy and grace; [Rom.12:2] "be not conformed to this world: but by the renewing of your mind."
READ THE WORD!

HE BEGINNING AND THE END
Revelations 1:8, "I am the Alpha and the Omega" This is the powerful truth that can be applied now,today.
Jesus said He is the beginning and the end and when you read Jn.1:1 you see that He is the word which means we start at the beginning with the word (Jesus). So this is the first step in knowing in knowing Gods will. Colossians 1:23, says " Continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you (are learning) have heard." The only way the devil can defeat us is through pressuring us to doubt.Do not disregard the word it is life to those who find it. Every challenge that the devil brings is to defeat your thoughts on Gods word (Jesus), so settle in on Gods word by prayer and supplication and stay with His word forever.
Jesus say He is the beginning and the end,so no matter what man or the devil say really don't matter, doctors or pastors are not the last word.The last word is what God says and Jesus has done. Remember this: You and I are what the WORD says we are, so search the scriptures to find who you are in Christ Jesus and the promises that are ours.For the word says we have life in Christ. Hallelujah,Amen,Praise God!! We have the word and the breakthrough is coming; settle ourselves on Him and be assured He is the last word.

JUST DO IT!
Religious debate is were we many times go wrong. Religion would argue rather than see someone delivered.
An example of this is in Luke 13:10-17. Jesus heals a woman who has been bent over for 18 years. Jesus called her a daughter of Abraham and set her free. She had been bound for nearly two decades and at that moment you and I would go rejoicing and praising God for her deliverance, but not the religious of the times.
They were upset because he healed on the Sabbath, now think on how we get caught up in religion and our philosophy and loose sight of the word. Questions arise such as ( maybe it isn't Gods will.) (maybe God wants to show or teach us something.) [ MAYBE!], Doubt, fear,unbelief all come into play, it is what keeps us bound. The rulers in the church had six days a week for 18 years to pray for this woman and never did anything. And when Jesus did it on the Sabbath they used it against Him. We do much the same thing by our doubts and questions. If someone needs healing or deliverance step out in faith
( GODS WORD),Walk by faith not by sight,speak to that mountain, Speak it from your heart not from theology. The question isn't why we don't see the deliverance but WHY WE HAVEN'T DELIVERED THEM? There is a difference between religion and loving, Love acts and doesn't question. Choose love and act now in Christ Jesus, and if we fail to act may we be put to shame.......

WE HAVE FAILED TO USE THE KEYS: GODS WORD!
Have we not realized the power and authority of Gods word, (Psalm18:37-38 ) " I have pursued my ."enemies, and have overtaken them.....they are fallen under my feet."
The book of Phil.2:9, " Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,[ JESUS] and every knee shall bow,in heaven and on earth,and under the earth,every tongue will confess that JESUS is Lord. As we read in Matthew16:19, " I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and what ever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,and what ever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. We can speak the word and loose the angelic forces of God to work on our behalf. yes we can bind wicked spirits of sickness ,disease,poverty,and social injustice, all spiritual wickedness. Why is it so easy to given in to Satan's attacks rather than Gods words to defend ourselves. Don't we trust His words? Are we so inhibited to react with the Word of God and so easily swayed by such sayings as ( it might not be Gods will!).I can't see anywhere in the word where Jesus was sick ,diseased or poverty stricken. I am the redeem of the Lord and by no way am going to be lead astray by the craftiness of the devil; He is only seeking whom he can devour, I will not be devoured for it is the word of God that abides in me. We say we believe but when the time comes to stand were not sure,what kind of faith is that.We ask if it is Gods will and then wait upon the Lord to move, when all the time He has already accomplished what we are asking for. Awake to the word that is in you,set your mind and heart on Him,His word will not return void Matt.16:18," The gates of Hell will not prevail....." WE THE CHRUCH WILL PREVAIL!

WE WANT TO SEE,HOW JESUS CAME TO SET US FREE
JESUS was sent to show us that he is the healer,the father sent His son not to condemn the world but to bring redemption. The lie that has been perpetrated is that God punishes us by bring disaster into our lives,sickness and disease to make us suffer! NOT TRUE, Jesus came to heal not punish and the father has given us His word ( JESUS ) to show us how to walk in His love. Love is forgiving,caring,mercy,grace and some much more. Understanding that this is all a part of Gods love (AGAPE ). In Matt.9:18-24, Jesus shows us these actions in His healing compassion. When asked by a ruler and father to come to his home and deliver his daughter from death. Jesus went and followed him home and on the way a woman with an issue thought to herself that if she could just touch the hem of his garment she would be healed. Yes Jesus turned to her and said " Take heart,your faith has made you well." Upon arriving at the rulers house he told the unbelievers to leave and took the girl by the hand and she arose. Now stop and consider this;Jesus has given us access to his power and authority. Now will you take hold of this by faith and believe that you too can do this in His name? Do we have the faith and ability to step out and see these come to pass. All this was given to us FREELY no payment required or requested : [ Matt10:7-8...heal the sick,cleanse the lepers,raise the dead and cast out devils].( Today that is cancer and all forms of disease ) devils are the ones who bring evil into many lives, but freely we have received and freely give,the answers are His word. Because we can do this by faith, belief, trust and obeying. Following the word we will see people set free and the word will speak out about the God of love and devotion. his purpose is to bring all men of free will,to open their hearts to His word and love. So next time you think that God is punishing you think again, who is it ! God is a lover, He is trying to protect us from being separated from Him. Satan is the liar and will deceive all whom he can (1Pet.5:8 ) " prowls like a lion,seeking all whom he can devour." Satan is the cause of all sickness and disease but we are the over comers in Christ Jesus. We are the heirs to salvation so don,t hesitate to speak forth the word of God that will stop Satan dead in his tracks, to believers and non-believers alike. So now let us take back what Satan has stolen, Satan get thee behind me! I am free in Christ Jesus....Amen
