Date Setting When Jesus Will Return Is Wrong

I want to clear up something for everyone

We seem to hear a lot about people saying that Jesus will appear on this day or that day and at a certain time.

I would like to tell everyone who are setting dates for Jesus to return, you could never get it right. Jesus told the truth when He said, "No one knows the day or hour of His return."

The reason Jesus said this is because. At any given time of the day. There are two days taking place on earth at the same time. And each country around the world has it's own time zone.

Example: In Dallas, Texas. it is Wednesday. 2:00 PM... And In Moscow, Russia it is Thursday 12:00 AM... Both days are happening at the same time on earth.

So from now on, when you hear someone is setting a date for Jesus to return. There is no way they could ever be correct. Now we all know the truth.

Here is the link to the world time clock. Just slide your pointer over the dots to find a location and see for yourself. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/

Have a great day. And Jesus Loves You

Something Is Wrong

The Power Of Light

Darkness flees from light.

 Here is a test you can do to see for yourself what happens when light is around darkness is no were around.

Go into a room and sit down by a light switch. Turn off the light. Now wait a few seconds. Now turn on the light switch. Did you notice how the darkness fled in a instant. Darkness can not over take the light. But, the light can vanish darkness. Cool stuff huh?

 This is what Jesus said about Himself. He said, I am the Light of the world. But, people refuse His message. Because His light reveals their darkness. It's like they love to live in a dark room. Refusing to turn on the light by receiving Jesus as their Savior.

 We can try tell some of these people were the light switch is. Until we are blue in the face. But they will never turn on the light. And receive Jesus as their Savior. Like roaches. These bugs love the dark. When we turn on the light they run for the nearest Shadow. If a person was to turn on the light in their life. And receive Jesus as their Savior. Their past and present sins. Their sins would flee as roaches do when the light is turned on.

Psalm 139 : God is All Present and All Knowing

By: Bengo Bengo.

Out of the 150 Psalms in the Bible, Psalm 139 talks about the power of God and His nature. It also talks about how God knows the intricate details about everyone’s lives. Some people still debate the author who has written this wonderful Psalm. Though some people think that King David is the original author of this psalm, some think it might have been written by the prophet Zechariah. The whole Psalm is focused around God’s omniscient and omnipresent nature. Of the twenty four verses written in this Psalm, every verse has a message as to how God has carefully created humans and how all mankind reflects in His image and likeness.

Verses one to six talk about God and the knowledge he has of His creation. It says that God has all the knowledge about man just when he looks at him. From daily activities to the thoughts in someone’s mind, even if he’s not present around. The knowledge of someone doing something before he/she does is one of the examples of God’s power.

Verses seven to twelve in Psalm 139 speaks about how no one can hide from God. The truth about God’s power comes to light in these verses as the symbolism for these verses is taken from the first book of genesis where Adam and Eve hide from God after they have sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, and he finds them in the Garden of Eden. A closer look at these verses reveals the fact that no matter where men or women go, God is omnipresent.

In verses thirteen to eighteen of Psalm 139 the secret behind the creation of man is revealed. These verses speak about the level of detail that God has designed mankind with and how he has played close attention to every part. His mysterious ways can be explained or understood by any method, now or in the future. It also goes to the extent of saying that God has set a timeline for every man that is alive which only he knows.

In the next few verses that is Psalm 139 nineteen to twenty four, the author prays for all the people who have sinned that they may change their sinful ways so as to please God. These people include men and women of wicked hearts, murderers, thieves and criminals and most importantly the people who challenge the validity of God. The author is also stuck between the cross roads of love and hate for these people and asks God for guidance.

The Psalms is the fourteenth book in the Bible and also the Old Testament. The Book of Psalms and the book of proverbs follow a very poetic and metaphorical style of writing which was very known to the century that they were written during. The 150 Psalms were originally written by Kind David as a series of songs that were meant to be used at a time of offering praise to God. Theologians who have written the Psalm commentary often emphasize the fact though these Psalms were written more than a thousand years ago they can apply to any period of time or any generation.

The Holy Spirit

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Author: Linda Dipman

Tori and I had gone to church to pray for healing over her heart. Her doctor warned her that she was endanger of suddenly dying of a massive heart attack. Urgently we had come to church believing that a miracle was her only hope of survival. We sat down in the sanctuary and I placed my hands over her heart. A supernatural warmth flowed into our bodies and ignited my hands turning them red and hot.  I felt a trembling within and suddenly I felt the Holy Spirit take up residence inside my body. The Spirit came lovingly and created a healing power that flowed within Tori's body putting her heart into remission.

Over the years I have recalled many times the day I met the Holy Spirit.  It was a time when God's will became my life purpose. I wanted to know my Heavenly Father and I actively pursued knowledge through my Bible and religious history books. I was changed into a different person who put God number one in my life. In my pursuit to learn about God I read stories in the Bible of how the Holy Spirit worked in people's lives.

            Luke 1:13-15:  "But the angel said to him, ‘Don't be afraid, Zechariah!  God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.  You are to name him John.  How glad and happy you will be, and how happy many others will be when he is born!  He will be a great man in the Lord's sight.  He must not drink any wine or strong drink.  From his very birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit,'"

            John was filled with the Holy Spirit from birth because his ministry would proceed the coming of Jesus Christ. I learned that the Holy Spirit filled John on the inside and gave him messages from God to tell the people to make their lives better.  People were cleansed from their sins through the ritual of baptism.  And when Jesus came He was baptized just like everyone else.

Luke 3: 21&22: "After all the people had been baptized, Jesus also was baptized.  While He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit came down upon Him in bodily form like a dove.  And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my own dear Son.  I am pleased with you.'"

The Holy Spirit came into Jesus' life in the form of a dove and the voice of God.  Jesus immediately began His ministry. The power of the Holy Spirit gave Him the ability to heal the sick, cast out demons and to feed the hungry. It was a Spirit inside of ‘Jesus the man' that taught people all about God and how to surrender their lives to Jesus as their Savior. Jesus talked many times during His ministry about the Holy Spirit and the purpose of the Spirit. He assured his disciples that when he left them they would never be alone, the Holy Spirit would come into their lives and live with them. The Holy Spirit would then teach them God's will for their lives.  The power of the Spirit would give them the ability to heal the sick and do even greater things than Jesus. Most of all the Holy Spirit would give them the strength to overcome the evil's they would face in the world.

Acts 2:2&3: "Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak."

The Holy Spirit revealed Himself in supernatural abilities to speak languages the disciples and their followers had never learned. They were languages of Praise to God.  The Holy Spirit came with a mission to aid the children of God.  It was a mission that would help them win the battles Satan would fight against them.  It was a ministry that would teach God's children their life purpose.  It was a new way of understanding the world.  It was a knowledge they would need to know in order to win the battles against evil they would face in the world. 

When you study the works of the Holy Spirit, you are amazed at how versatile the Spirit can be. In the Old Testament Moses experienced the Holy Spirit in the burning bush that spoke to him.  Immediately Moses left everything he owned and went to Egypt to free Israel from slavery.  He was given the power to perform mighty miracles before pharaoh that destroyed Egypt.  Moses who was known to stutter became a great leader because the Spirit taught him what to say.  Moses taught the Jewish people the Laws God wanted them to know.  He led them into the Promised Land and gave them a home forever. His life became an example of what the Spirit can do when you surrender your life to God.

 The Holy Spirit has shown even a sense of humor when He stopped Balaam a prophet from cursing Israel.  The Holy Spirit entered into his donkey and it spoke to Balaam like a man, stopping the prophet from his madness. Samson encountered the Holy Spirit through his hair. He was the strongest man alive, but when his hair was cut the Holy Spirit left too. David met the Holy Spirit when Elijah anointed him with oil when he was only fourteen years old. David was given the power to slay Goliath the philistine giant with a small stone. He became the greatest king of Israel, because the Holy Spirit made him strong and gave him victory over the enemies of Israel.

It has been over twenty-five years since the Holy Spirit entered into my life.  The Spirit has stayed with me as I have faced countless battles that taught me valuable lessons of what is right and what is wrong in our world.  I cherish and love the Holy Spirit. He has given me supernatural strength and a determination to do what is right even when the world says I am wrong.  The Spirit is my best friend.  He has rescued me just in time when it seemed there was no hope.  Ask Jesus to let the Holy Spirit come into your life. The Spirit will change you from the inside out and change you into a better person.

Who is the Holy Spirit?  He is God the father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all wrapped up in one.  When God is in your life nothing you face in this world is too hard for you to accomplish.  The Holy Spirit will give you the power to overcome the hard things we will go through in the world.  The Holy Spirit is God. Let Him in and He will change your life forever.

Jesus Loves You

The Way, The Truth, The Life By Mark Baker

John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

2. "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4. "And where I go you know, and the way you know.''
5. Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?''
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus said it plainly and to the point so that there could be no mistake about the only way to the Father. He is the way, He is the truth, and He is the Life. There are no other paths that lead to life. Whether we choose to believe this or not is a choice we all must make.

New Age religion and modernists say that there are many paths to God. Basically everyone has their own path to take, and regardless of the path it still leads to God. So regardless of the path taken you're going to get to God anyway, so what's the big deal?

This is not new, it's been around from the earliest times.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

A serious warning is being given about choosing our own way. The way that seems right to us in the natural is not the way God has chosen for us. He has chosen the way for us to have life, and we must follow that path in order to get it. Our way regardless of how right it seems will only lead to death, wow!

There is something we must also consider. He wants us to have life. He went to great lengths to make His life available to us and He knows the path we have to take to get it. He is admonishing us that there are alternative paths that we could take, but they are not the paths that lead to life. You must know the right path if you are ever going to get to Him. If you don't know the right path then you are simply lost.

God wants us to find Him, that's why He gave us the correct path.

New age religions are saying that Jesus might be your path and He might not be your path.
If this were so, why did Jesus have to come, why did He have to die, why did He boldly declare, I am the way! Peter proclaimed this truth when being questioned by the High priest.

Acts 4:10 "let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
11. "This is the `stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'
12. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.''

This is the truth that leads to life and makes men free. I've heard it said by people who probably didn't want to offend anyone that Jesus might be your path but He's only just one of the many paths that lead to God.

If Jesus were only one of the many paths then He Himself is lair, for He said it clearly; I am the way. You can not have it both ways. You can not call something the way and it be a lie at the same time. That just doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. The truth is the truth and that's that.

These same people who are saying that Jesus is just one of the many ways to God just simply don't see the contradiction, or are ignoring it. There is a great contradiction here that simply can not be overlooked.

Truth is eternal and can not be changed. Again, Jesus said in

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. That's about as clear as you can get.

There is something in everyone that is searching for the truth, a deep yearning that can only be filled by finding Truth itself. Nothing else can satisfy that longing. The point is, there is truth, and God has shown us the way. I grew up in a religious background going to church but I found myself looking for something much more than organized religion in and of itself could give.

I needed something that was real. I began reading a Bible that we had laying around the house and the more I read it the more I realized I had a giant void in my life. The Holy Spirit began to convict me of my life and showed me the reality of Jesus Christ, and that He was the only way to the Father. I had a decision to make at that point. Once truth is received, you have to do something with it. Truth can not set you free until you act upon it. Truth acted upon brings the reality of the New Creation.

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.''

I made the decision to give my life to Jesus, and have never regretted it. What a life changing decision. For the very first time in my life I found peace, a real peace that is truly indescribable. My whole life was changed from the inside out. This was something that religion could not do for me. it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off of my shoulders.

This is why many Christians come across as zealots at times, it's because they've found the truth and its made them free! They found the answer to what they had been desperately looking for, not religion, but life in the most real sense of the word. I'm talking about the life of God manifested in you. Once you have been a partaker of the manifested life of God, you know the truth for yourself. You know that you know, and there is no denying it. You know there is no other way. The Holy Spirit will make Jesus so real to you that there will be no question as to what real truth is.

Christians who have been partakers of God's life just want others to know that they found the way to this life. Their heart cry is to point the way to One who is the author of this life. They just want others to know here's the way, you don't have to look any longer, maybe not realizing that they are coming across a little harsh. Once you've found the truth you just want to share it, know this same truth that has set them free will work for everybody, after all it was for everybody that Jesus came into the world to give of His life.

John 3:17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth (that you know) shall make you free.''

This is why people have to be told, you can not know until you have heard. Hearing is the first step.

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15. And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!''

There is a process we all must take to receive God's wonderful gift of life. We all have to hear the truth and we have to make the decision based upon what we have heard.
Going back to Romans 10 starting with vs. 8. we see the direction we have to take in order to receive this awesome gift of life.

Romans 10: 8. But what does it say? "The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart'' (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

9. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
11. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.''
12. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13. For "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.''

I would like to let you know it's never too late to start on this journey. If you have said I am one of those who were burned out by religion and don't want to go down that path again, I can honestly say so was I. If you have found yourself wanting something more but are hesitant to try, then let me encourage you. There is hope and real peace in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to invite you to take the next step and invite Jesus into your life. It's a 100% free gift and it's the gift that keeps on giving. God's heart cry is that all will come to Him

-- Living Bible
Deuteronomy 30:19 ``I call heaven and earth to witness against you that today I have set before you life or death, blessing or curse. Oh, that you would choose life; that you and your children might live!

If you're serious and want to experience God's life for yourself, then I urge you to earnestly pray this prayer and invite Him in, and see for yourself that God is good.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Your word says, "and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out." (Jn.6:37),

So I know You won't cast me out, but You take me in, And I thank you for it. You said in your Word, "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'' (Ro. 10:13).

I am calling on Your name, So I know You have saved me now, You also said, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation." (Ro.10:9,10).

I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess Him now as my Lord, Because Your Word says, " with the heart one believes to righteousness" and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21),

And I am saved! Thank You, Lord!
I can now truthfully say, I see myself as a born again child of God!

Glory to God!!!! Amen.
