Be an OVERCOMER, don’t join the deceived group! James 4
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

ALL SLAVERY IS NOT BAD!
Today slavery is a very hot topic amongst the BLM (Black Lives Matter). The BLM is protesting slavery and anything or anybody connected with owning slaves. In the United States slavery was abolished in 1862.
“The Emancipation Proclamation, or Proclamation 95, was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, during the Civil War.” Wikipedia
The first time slavery is mentioned in the Bible the whole nation of Israel were slaves of Egypt. (Leviticus 26:13)There are still all kinds of slaves in the world today. Human trafficking is the worst of the lot!
Even in the true Churches of God today there is slavery!
What does Jesus have to say about this slavery? First we must realize how slavery in the Church came about. Jesus first teaches us that we are baptized into the body of Christ (the Church)!
Romans 6:3-5 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection.
When Jesus died on the cross He conquered death and death does not have power over the body of Christ (the Church). Jesus shed His blood so that all the worlds’ sins are forgiven past present and future. Those who have repented and surrendered to Christ and confessed that they are sinners and receive the free gift of grace from Him are no longer under bondage or shackled in slavery to sin but have eternal life.
Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9-10 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
God created man for a very high calling to be His children forever. Wouldn’t you rather want to receive the free gift of Jesus Christ than to be burned in Hell? Get on your knees now and ask Jesus to come into our life and if you are really sincere He will give you the gift of eternal life!
GO TO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE LOST —Jesus
By what way does the internet spread over the earth? Is it something that man created or has it always been? It was discovered by man and put to his use but he did not create it. Job 38:24 by what way is light diffused, or the east wind scattered over the earth? Man has been able to make lights and use wind to power mighty ships and in today’s modern world, airplanes. Wireless networking technology uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections.
20 years ago today, the World Wide Web opened to the public
by MARTIN BRYANT — Aug 6, 2011 in INSIDER
6 August 1991
On 6 August 1991, exactly twenty years ago, the World Wide Web became publicly available. Its creator, the now internationally known Tim Berners-Lee, posted a short summary of the project on the alt. hypertext newsgroup and gave birth to a new technology which would fundamentally change the world as we knew it.Aug 6, 2011
Now it has been nearly 30 years since the internet became public. Now people from all over the world can communicate through the internet. That is an amazing miracle!
Today, minor evangelists just like me can reach out to people all over the world and share the saving knowledge of the gospel message of Jesus Christ. As more and more Christians use the media airways for the purpose of preaching the gospel, reaching the whole world is possible. Close to 40% of the world’s population do not have the internet yet. But more and more are being added everyday and these people need to know Christ! All they need is a cell phone. Thousands of people from over 170 countries have responded to my blog WORLDWIDE INTERNET EVANGELISM many have accepted Jesus as their Savior and that, brothers and sisters in Christ, makes it all worthwhile.
God is waiting to bless you with abundant blessing if you become an internet evangelist.
Matthew 9:37 Then He (Jesus) said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
THE LIGHT OF SALVATION REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME
By definition, a senior citizen is a person who has passed retirement age, a landmark in my life that I passed some fifteen years previously. I mull this over because I found myself not able to give service in and to the Church as easily as in my younger days. There were times when I taught Sunday school, gave bible studies, and preached in nursing homes on Sunday to the shut-in Church members. The time finally came when it was difficult for me to do those things. Suddenly, I was faced with needing to serve God in some new way. I begin to pray about this and sought God’s Word to find the answers I needed.
It just happens that I have had a computer since the early eighties. My first desk top computer used two 5 ½ inch floppy disks. One would contain a program and the other was set up to do my work on and save. The hard drive hadn’t been developed yet. I did not know at the time that learning how to use a computer would, some day, play an important part in founding a new ministry to reach unsaved people.
God, in His infinite wisdom, knew that it was time to introduce the internet. God the Father is the only one who knows when Christ’s second coming will take place but He give hints in Matthew 24: 32-33 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at the doors!
I believe in hind sight that the internet was a tremendous hint that the end was getting near because now there was a fantastic way to reach people all over the world with the Gospel message of salvation through faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1: 3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
The internet is like a great light shining over the world to the unsaved.
Matthew 4:16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”
2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
My ministry is the “Worldwide Internet Evangelism”. I share Christ with thousands of people over the internet in over 170 countries. Just a few years ago this was impossible. My greatest inspiration to do this came from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Here is a brief account about the real beginning of internet evangelism.
“In 1996, BGEA entered the developing frontier of cyberspace, launching the ministry’s flagship website, BillyGraham.org. The site quickly became a portal to offer ministry updates and spiritual guidance, while also sharing the hope of Jesus with visitors. Today, hundreds of thousands visit the site every month. BGEA’s Internet Evangelism ministry today has seen millions make commitments to Jesus Christ online.”
Jesus Christ has sent all Christians out to be evangelist and He has provided the tools with which to do the job.
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
It is time to reach all the nations of the world with the Cross of Christ!
Be an Internet Evangelist for Christ!
ABORTION XXX!
When a man and a woman marry, God will bless them with a reward.
Ps. 127:3 The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalms 128:6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.
But when they are aborted, you will never see your children or your grandchildren.
The world renown Guttmacher Institute reports:
Induced Abortion Worldwide
GLOBAL INCIDENCE AND TRENDS
• During 2010–2014, an estimated 56 million induced abortions occurred each year worldwide. This number represents an increase from 50 million annually during 1990–1994, mainly because of population growth.
Based on this staggering informaton, worldwide genoside of the numbers aborted snce 2010 – through 2018 totals 400,000,000. IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION? THIS IS THE WORST TRAGEDY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
HOW LONG IS GOD GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS?
Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Will you be standing with Christ?
SO YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN
There have been surveys taken asking people if they were Christians. There were many who said no but of the many who said yes there were discrepancies. For example, there were some who felt they were Christians simply because they believed in God. So, is the issue about who believes in God?
80% of Americans Believe in God. Pew Found Out What They Mean.

In the shifting spiritual landscape of the United States, Christians too can no longer assume that their friends and neighbors believe in the God of the Bible, if they believe in God at all.
Though God regularly gets evoked in prayer, platitudes, and phrases like “God bless America” and “in God we trust,” Americans—even within Christianity—have different conceptions of who God is and how he operates.
A Pew survey released today found that how people view God—and how they believe God interacts with them—shifts by religious affiliation, gender, and political party.
Even in an era where more of the nation doesn’t ascribe to a higher power at all (10%) or believes in some sort of higher power or spiritual force (33%), a slim majority of Americans (56%) still believe in God “as described in the Bible,” according to the Pew report.
According to Pew’s report, only 32 % of white Democrats believe in God as described in the Bible as compared to 72% of white republicans who believe in God as described in the Bible. That is very eye opening assuming the accuracy of the pole!
Understand that there is no mention of the Holy Spirit and without the Spirit nothing is understood or known.
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
God’s pole is more accurate, believe God! Man’s pole talks about God but leaves out Christ when talking about Christians. They don’t understand the spiritual and that Jesus Christ is God.
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Jesus and the Holy Spirit actually dwell in Christians waiting the time they will also be joined to the Father! Therefore, two members of the Trinity dwell in the incorruptible inner man.
Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin.
Jesus is everything to a Christian! We must surrender our lives to Him and follow Him!
John 15: He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
If you are not a Christian and want to be then confess that you are a sinner and that Jesus is the Son of God and surrender your life to Him right now in prayer and you will be saved!
Dear heavenly Father, Please reach into the hearts of those who will read this blog and convict them into believing in Jesus as their Savior, in Jesus name, amen!
JUSTICE IS ON TRIAL
Justice is on trial in this nation because society has changed and demands blood instead of looking at the facts. False news is rampant throughout the nation. Our court system is corrupt and needs overhauling and when do you think that will ever happen? Psalms 82:2 How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Well, don’t hold your breath because it may never happen. The day is coming when there will be darkness over the land and evil will be prominent. 1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
It is a time when all men will need to turn to God as there will be no other course to take. People will either go to hell or repent and believe that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God and we need Him to be saved. He has already set the stage for all men to be saved by His shedding of His blood on the cross.
Believe on Him and you will be saved. John 3: 16 God so loved the world that he sent His only begotten son so whosoever believed on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Admit that you are a sinner and need a SAVIOR! Only JESUS CHRIST can save you from the efernal death to come. Accept JESUS CHRIST as your SAVOR, NOW!
TORNADO HITS ALABAMA AND SERIAL BOMBER HITS AUSTIN, TEXAS

Storms hit many areas of the South East coast Monday night leaving one dead and many injured. This is the beginning of tornado season and every year there are those who suffer loss. Let’s pray for the families that are effected that Jesus Christ will comfort and encourage them. Already relief organizations such as Samaritans Purse are on their way there to help give relief to those who are suffering. Jesus says: “He cares for you!” 1Peter 5:7
There is a serial bomber in Austin, Texas, several killed and many injured. Another bomb exploded just a few days ago. We need to pray for the safety of the people in Austin and for the capture of the bomber as soon as possible. See video: https://youtu.be/_oESslH5yhU
So many strange things are happening nowadays, that it is hard to keep up with them. The news is full of incidents such as mentioned above.
Prayer is so effective and so powerful it is the first thing we should do when we wake up in the morning. Pray for the safety of all people in this nation and for our culture to swing back to caring about the sanctity of human life.
1 Timothy 2:8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere.
Jesus wants us to be cared for: 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
I pray for healing peace for the families in Alabama and Austin, Texas for their losses and that You, Lord, will hear our prayers for them and that your love will cover all. In Jesus name, amen!
