THERE IS HOPE!

 Acts 18:9-10 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: [10] For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

As a Christian, we know that we are now Spiritual beings.

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

1 Peter 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

We are no longer living in the flesh, to satisfy the flesh.

Put on the whole armor of God.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

We are overcomers!

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good.

Even though this world is getting more evil every second, we are not to be dismayed.

We have JESUS!!! Rejoice in your Salvation!!! 

Nothing is taking GOD by surprise, HE knows all!!!

Just like before

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Let our hearts not be troubled!!! 

Speak JESUS!!! Speak HOPE!!!

I know evil is rampant, The Bible says it will.

1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

I hate to even give any time to Satan at all, but the works of the devil are very strong and strongholds to some.

People are speaking out, but not against the spirit, that- is- the driving force.

Why do people want abortions? Because it is evil.

Why do people want to legalize homosexuality? Because it is evil.

Why do people want transgender? Because it is evil.

Why do people want hormone therapy? Because it is evil.

Why do people want homosexuals to be able to marry? Because it is evil.

Why do people want homosexuals to be able to adopt babies? Because it is evil.

Why do people let pedophiles run rampant? Because it is evil.

Why do people want human trafficking? Because it is evil.

Why do people want the borders flooded with people, so much so that drugs and other contrabands cannot be detected? Because it is evil.

Why do people want riots in the streets and burning of buildings? Because it is evil.

Why do people want hatred against each other? Because it is evil.

Why do people want to defund the police, so that more murders, rioting, and looting can take place? Because it is evil.

Why do people want to break America, by borrowing money to give to other countries, that hate us? Because it is evil.

Why do people want to create a virus so deadly? Because it is evil.

Why do people want to keep us separated from Churches, family members, and friends, so we feel alone and without hope? Because it is evil.

These are just a few examples, but you get the picture.

Satan is alive and working hard sending out his workers to steal, kill and destroy.

PRAY!!! RESIST!!! PREACH!!! LOVE!!! CHARITY!!! CARE!!! THESE WILL HELP US OVERCOME!!! BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.

HIS POWER AND HIS MIGHT ALONE!!! WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT!!!

BECAUSE GOD IS STILL GOD!!! HE IS STILL ON HIS THRONE!!! HE STILL LOVED THIS WORLD, THAT HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE, FOR IT, FOR US!!! 

We once as some of these, but no longer are because of JESUS!!! 

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

1Peter 3:15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Let us as Christians be ready and able to give people HOPE! 

THAT HOPE IS JESUS, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH!!!

ARE WE READY?

 I read an article the other day, that said Christians are twisting the “facts” to make the times fit the Bible and The Return Of CHRIST. 

MATTHEW 24:36 JESUS said no-one knows the day and hour no man knows, but His Father.

MATTHEW 24:42-46 JESUS said for us to watch, not to be overtaken by the thief.

MARK13:32 JESUS said no-one knows the time of His Return except the Father in. 

MARK 13:33-37 Tells us to watch and not be caught unaware. JESUS said for us to watch.

True we may not know when the LORD will return, but we are to watch. We are to be faithful.  

Are we faithful to tell others of CHRIST? We can become so involved in this world, and signs of the times, that we are not Faithful to our First Love.

THE RETURN OF CHRIST IS SURE!  We are going to see Him, either in His return or at our death. Are we ready for either of the experiences? One or the other is surely going to happen. Be ready for either one. Don’t be so caught up in the snares of this world, that you forget your purpose on this earth. 

MATTHEW 13:22 MARK 14:9 Says not to become unfruitful, by the cares of this world.

Are we watching for Christ or are we looking at man and his evil doings? Are we watching and waiting for The very Son Of The Only Begotten Son, or, are we looking at what this fallen world is doing? I know we live here, but we are not to be consumed by it. 

MATTHEW13:38 JESUS said the field is the world, JOHN 4:35 JESUS said for us to look upon the field; for they are white already to harvest. Are we harvesting? 

JOHN 3:17 For GOD sent not His Son to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

JOHN 12:46 JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, JOHN 17:16 WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD, EVEN AS CHRIST IS NOT. MATTHEW5:14 JESUS SAID WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. MATTHEW 5:16 LET OUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY WILL SEE OUR GOOD WORKS, AND GLORIFY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.

EPHESIANS 5:11-13 We reprove evil, by living a LIGHTFILLED life. The Bible says it is a shame to even speak of those things done of them in secret.

We are to be the Light not just in front of others, but to ourselves, and we can only do this by The Power of The Holy Spirit, by reading our Bible. Are we reading our Bible more than articles that only cause doubt, hatred, or anger?

PHILIPPIANS4:8 says for us to think on these things,  TRUE, HONEST, JUST, PURE, Lovely, Good Report, Virtue, Praise

THINK ON GOOD THINGS! SPEAK GOOD THINGS! JESUS IS CHRIST! 

1PETER 3:15 BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE THE ANSWER TO ALL MEN OF HOPE IN CHRIST!

THE WELL!

 John 4:12-13 KJV

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

John 4:6 KJV

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

The Well is symbolic of The LAW,  and sin. Jesus is sitting on it, is covering sin.

JESUS IS GRACE!

John 4:2-42 KJV

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) [3] He left Judaea and departed again into Galilee. [4] And he must needs go through Samaria. [5] Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. [6] Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. [7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. [8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) [9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. [10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. [11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? [12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: [14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. [15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. [16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. [17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: [18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. [19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. [20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. [21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [25] The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. [26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. [27] And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? [28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, [29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? [30] Then they went out of the city and came unto him. [31] In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. [32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. [33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? [34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work. [35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. [37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. [38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. [39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. [40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. [41] And many more believed because of his own word; [42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

NOT MINE, BUT, ACCURATE!

 I have often wondered about why Whites are racists, and no other race is...

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.

And then there are just Americans... You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK...

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.

You have Black History Month.

You have Cesar Chavez Day.

You have Yom Hashoah.

You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

You have the NAACP.

You have BET...

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US.

Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.

If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow, and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it.

But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

I am proud...... But you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

There is nothing improper about this.

That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country.

We won't stand up for ourselves!

BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! And No, I am Not Racist!

It's not a crime YET.... But getting very close!
