The Bible and Our Privileges

"It is known that the Bible, in its hundreds of different translations, is the most widely distributed book in human history. The bible has been enormously influential, and not only among the religious communities that hold it sacred (by the way, Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life Through Christ Jesus). The literature, art, and music of the Western culture, in particular, are deeply indebted to biblical themes, motifs, and images. Translations of the Bible, not only influenced literature but also shaped the development of languages.
Another writer said this; “We tend to think of the Bible as a book—and we’re not entirely wrong—but the Bible wasn’t always bound between two covers. The Bible we know today took a long journey through many eras, communities, and places before it became the sacred text we recognize today.
The word Bible comes from the Greek word Biblia, which means “books.” This is a more accurate description of what the Bible is—a collection of many books, like a library. Each biblical book has a unique history and took a distinctive route on its way to inclusion in the Bible.”
All Christians are called into the ministry. However, being in a ministry doesn’t mean we are entitled to serve ourselves and in the process, claim a title. It means we serve God by serving others. We are speaking and serving directly on His behalf to others.
We trade selfishness for selflessness. This brings glory to God. We bring honor to Him and not to ourselves.
Serving God is An Honor. It’s A Privilege. Be Thankful To God For the Privilege of Being ‘A Born-Again Believer’.
I am fully persuaded that any challenges that come to a Bible-informed Christian are never too great to be overcome because God through Jesus Christ has provided a way out of every circumstance and situation through His Promises that are recorded in the Bible.
God wants us (those who have accepted Jesus Christ, the Anointed One and His anointed) to take Him at His Word and be determined to receive the Blessings that doing His Word brings.
We know that the enemies of God are there to try to create difficulties for us at every turn and step we take, but a Word-Knowledgeable Christian can always triumph in Christ Jesus by following the instructions as outlined in the Scripture.
This message I am preparing is to help you and I increase our knowledge of what God has provided for us through His Promises. I want to Encourage you to take hold of these promises, stand on them, and make those that meet your particular need a part of your daily lives. Study and meditate on the verses diligently, so that you may get them down into your spirit so that when negative circumstances and situations present themselves, you will be able to automatically bring them out of your mouth at every opportunity you have to act on the Word.
What does the word ‘Privilege’ mean for a Christian with God? It means a special right, advantage or immunity granted or available only to us through our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ the Anointed One and His anointing. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to God except through Him!
When we allow God to become our final Authority and guideline for our daily living, we will be on the right path to achieving all the benefits accruing to us through Christ’s redemptive work on the cross at Calvary.
(2 Timothy 2:15) (KJV) says; “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
(NASB) says; “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.”
The majority of the Scriptures that I’m presenting to you, will be in the King James Version. When other translations are used, it will be outlined.
These Scriptures will bring victory to your life, as they are bringing victory to mines as we diligently study and act on them because the Scriptures says; “as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works (action) is dead also.”
(Romans 8:14-17) (NIV) says; "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, 'Abba Father’. The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” (Excerpts from my book: "Privileges of a Believer")

The Word of God

In the beginning, was the word of God that is and always will be,
Forever endure throughout time,
Will never come back to Him void,
They will accomplish that He please,
By Faith, it is understood,
Everything was framed by His word,
Have not you heard,
We live not by bread alone,
But by every word coming from His mouth,
The word is a lamp that lights your path.
Do your best to meet God’s approver,
For a workman not to be ashamed,
Rightly handling His word of truth,
Let the word of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
Penetrate your mind.
His ways and thoughts are higher than mankind,
Leaving all your troubles behind,
Do everything to God in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
Everything will be just fine,
Sing to the grace of God Divine,
His word is the truth for all mankind.

He Is Coming Soon

He is coming soon
It may be morning, night or noon
As the bright and morning star
We know that it is not too far
Cheering many to walk and watch
As the star whose kindly ray,
Heralds the approaching morning
Just before the break of day
To let you know it’s okay.
Oh what joy we feel
let us know it’s a beautiful day
Sweet to know He coming soon,
It may be morning, noon, or night. 

He is coming, He is coming
For you and for me
Soon we’ll hear His voice the Highest
Dead and living, rising and giving
Changing in the twinkling of an eye
Shall be caught up together
Meeting Him in the air
With a loud shout with on doubt
Shall He await us throughout?

He is the Bridegroom,
Coming to unfold the new and old,
The mystery of ages untold
We as bride He granted
His beauty now to shine
Like a ray of Sun He comes,
I am His and He is mine,
The mystery of love divine
Sweet to sing in all its fulness,
I am His and He is mine,
Leaving all my troubles behind,
Come into God’s divine.

Scars In Heaven

The only scars are in heaven
Jesus Christ bear them all
He took them for you and I
To stand tall
And not fall.

The only scars are in heaven
You can’t find them
At the seven eleven
Jesus, Jesus bear them all
Can’t you hear His call
Stand tall you all
In His name I proclaim
And never, never to be the same.

The only scars are in heaven
And I can never, never be the same
Only through the Super Flame
Can I claim and bear His holy name.

Opportunity

We are living in a time of crisis
but we also live in a time of opportunity
There is always an opportunity to be better,
For the time of betterment of self and others
May not come again. 
When one gets an opportunity to do something
think less of yourself and more of others
and God will direct your plan He has for you to do.
"For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach
the word-not with wisdom and eloquence lest the
cross of Christ is void of its power." 
We must test the opportunity that comes our way
to see if it for me to do.
We must be wise in the way we deal with others
Because that opportunity may not come again.
We must make the most of every opportunity
because the days we live in are evil.
Therefore as we have an opportunity
let us do good to all people
especially to those who are in the household of God.

W a L K

The Word WALK has a long history, going back to the beginning of time.
Even though I WALK THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over. 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
FOREVER.
To move about in visible form…to advance step by step…to move 
Along on foot easily and readily state…to pursue a course of action
Or way of life, etc
                              WAIT: 
(Isaiah 40:29-31) He gives power to the Weak,
And to those Who have no might, He increases strength. 
Even the youths shall faint and be Weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall, 
But those Who WAIT on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up With Wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be Weary,
They shall WALK and not faint.

                              ACKNOWLEDGE:
(Proverbs 3:5-6) Trust in the Lord with All your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
                               LAND:
(GENESIS 1:9-11) Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land Appear”; And it was so. And God called the dry LAND Earth, And the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the Earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, And the fruit tree that yields fruit According to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; And it was so. And the Earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed According to its kind, And the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself According to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.
                               KING:
(1 Timothy 2:1-7) Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for Kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the Knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Remember Your Creator In Your Youth

Light is sweet and good for the eyes to see the brightness of the Sun,
For if someone lives a thousand years, may they rejoice in all of them.
But let us remember, for a thousand years in the sight of the LORD are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a night watch in the night time and that the days of darkness are many and everything comes to vanity. 

Rejoice, O you young one, in your youth, and in your early years may your hearts do you good, walk in the path of your heart and the desire of your eyes;
But know that in all these things God will bring you into judgment, that you may remove the anger from your heart, so that distress may leave all your parts.

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come and the years arrive when you say, "I have no pleasure in them"; before the sun, light, moon, and stars are darkened, and the clouds leave after the rain; in the day when those watching the house tremble, and the strong one are bent over; when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through windows have dimmed eyes, and the doors on the street are shut, and the sound of grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of birds, and all the daughters of song are brought low, when they are frightened of heights, even the terrors along the way, and desire fails, because you may go to your eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets.

So remember your Creator before the cord of silver is snapped, or the jar by the 
spring is broken or the wheel at the cistern crushed.
The dust returns to the earth where it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 
Remember who you are and who's you are in your youth before it all becomes vanity in your sight.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday has come and gone,
Today is now, tomorrow is yet to come, 
But yesterday is what you are today,
And today will be what you will be tomorrow,
Today if, well spent will bring success tomorrow,
What lies ahead for tomorrow no one really knows,
You can guess, you can plan, you can take a stand,
I embrace today with tomorrow in mind,
Leaving yesterday behind,
You can't turn the clock back,
You just have to do what you have to do NOW,
Finding your place in life,
What you were meant to do, do it NOW,
For Tomorrow is yet to come,
Leaving all your troubles behind,
Coming to God's table and dine,
And everything will work out just fine.

The World Prepared For War

The world prepared for war. If Christ doesn’t come back soon,
They will use their weapons, whether for good or evil.
How good it would be if it was prepared to live,
But they can’t because life is not in them.
Christ came the first time and gave life and life more abundantly,
But the enemy came to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
But be of good cheer, He is returning, sooner then you may think.
Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
I submit to you, now that He is with the Father, He knows!
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. We are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, for those who are not prepared.
Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. For the Lord, himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. When Christ who is in your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
So we wait, watching quietly every day,
Whenever the sun rises in the morning, I arise and say good morning Father. Surely it is the shining of His face,
Looking upon the brilliancy of His shining face, the intense brightness of His high place, Beyond the distance of the sea, for I know that He is coming soon. Maybe morning or noon, but He is coming soon,
And when the shadow of the morning Sun, reaches my room, where I am getting ready for my appointed task of the day, I know that He is coming soon, even when my task is done for the day.
The world prepared for war, but I am prepared to live.
