Our Need for Him

Psalm 139:1-7

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

This is possibly the understatement of the year when I express - "We need the Holy Spirit!"  His ministry is powerful, not only for the church but even in the world.

John 16: 5 - 11, But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment because the ruler of this world is judged.

As a child of God, it is to our advantage to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In the bible, it was possible to take people to Jesus, much like Andrew did, (We have found the Messiah)...however today, being filled with the Holy Spirit allows you and I to take Jesus to people. Even the fruit of the Spirit can be experienced by unbelievers...Love, Peace, Joy, Longsuffering, etc. all have blessed the saved and the unsaved alike. But there's a problem...

2 Thess. 2: 7 - For the mystery of sin is already at work; and He who now lets, will let, until He is taken out of the way

One day, the church, and the Holy Spirit will be gone. Everything you know, everything you see and do, will be changed forever.

I shutter to think of the ones who will be left behind on that day! Imagine a world without Love, Joy, Peace, Morals, etc...it's going to be absolute chaos...so many things we take for granted are no longer going to be available to mankind anymore, once the rapture takes place. So, are you ready for that day? The bible says that it will be like the twinkling of an eye...only those longing for His return are ready - how about you?

You Must

Exodus 33: 15 - The Moses said to Him, "Lord, if Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." What a powerful time in Killeen TX this past weekend! We were a part of the 2018 Killeen Harvester's Homecoming! It was spectacular! There were wonderful messages from the men of God, awesome testimonies from overseas as well as stateside, and tremendous fellowship and meeting new people. With all that said, there was one thing in particular that stood out to me I want to share with you...during the times of testimony, we enjoy hearing about what the Lord is doing in various churches and the city where they pastor. One of the nights, a young pastor by the name of Miguel Soliz got up and testified about what God is doing in the city he pastors, (Belton TX). He spoke of seeing people saved in his church, and he spoke of God moving on hearts as they evangelize, but that's not what shook me...he also spoke of being diagnosed with Diabetes. And he said...

Pain

I finally got a chance to speak with pain; I had a lot of questions for pain to answer hopefully. The first question was obvious – Who asked you to come here? No answer Why do you afflict my life? Still no answer Then I realized I was asking the wrong questions, so I shouted out: Who do you think you are? Pain turned around and finally answered, ‘O just a friend.’ Well you’re no friend of mine! At this, pain started laughing hysterically then said, ‘I remind you of your frailty, your capabilities and your nature, without me you would start thinking that you’re perfect; or even God Himself! I thought about what pain said, then he rose up and asked me…’ Can I go now? I have work to do’ So I asked pain, where are you going? He replied, not very far, I’m still working in this house . I begged pain to leave…he said, “I can leave but there’s a problem.” What’s that? He answered, if I leave, you would have no motivation to seek God. With that, pain turned and walked away – ...

Speak To The Rock

Numbers 20:1-13 Moses’ Error at Kadesh 20　Then the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there. 2　Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 3　And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: "If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord! 4　Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here? 5　And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink." 6　So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 7　Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8　"Take the rod; you and yo...
