			<description><![CDATA[Ecclesiasticus 2:1-6, 'My son, if you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal. Be sincere of heart, be steadfast, and do not be alarmed when disaster comes. Cling to Him and do not leave Him, so that you may be honored at the end of your days.<br />
<br />
Whatever happens to you, accept it, and in the uncertainties of your humble state, be patient, since gold has been tested in the fire, and chosen men in the furnace of humiliation. Trust Him and He will uphold you, follow a straight path and hope in Him.<br />
<br />
In this scripture, God is telling us that test and trials will be coming our way. Some of them are not going to be pleasant but, God gives these to us as learning experiences. We need to accept these tests and trials with a kind of joy because they will cause us to grow in faith, love, endurance, strength, humility and having a positive outlook instead of a negative one like our nature wants us to.<br />
<br />
These tests and trials can have such a positive impact on our life that we will be able to manage anything that comes our way. We will be able to handle them with ease. I need to mention that in time, we won't suffer from stress anymore. Stress is one of those negative emotions that can cause all kinds of health problems both physically and mentally.<br />
<br />
So, when you are going through a tough time, remember that the Lord will be there with you to help you get through it in a positive way, but only if you have faith and trust in Him.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[My neighbor, who I've known for 10 years, died in a bad car wreck back in 1976. She is 62 years old and lives with her 92 year old mother. She was dead for 5 minutes. She told me about her experience when she was dead. She first said that she up in the air looking down at her body. She then went on to tell me that she went through a tunnel that had a light at the end of it.<br />
<br />
Upon entering the light, she said that she saw God, other people around her and she saw a beautiful garden. She felt so much peace and love while she was there, but she was told that she couldn't stay because it wasn't her time yet. She said that she did not want to leave because where she was so magnificent that there are not any words to describe it.<br />
<br />
1. According to this scripture, we were spirit before we became flesh. Jeremiah 1:5, 'Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou came forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.'<br />
<br />
2. Genesis 2:7, 'And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.' I know from one of the supernatural experiences that I went through that there are two parts to us, the carnal (flesh) side and the spiritual (intellect and soul) side.<br />
<br />
3. Genesis 6:3, God said, 'My spirit must not for ever be disgraced in man, for he is but flesh; his life shall last no more than a hundred and twenty years.' God is talking about the spirit and soul that He puts in each and every human being. It's apart of Him and it returns back to Him after death of the flesh.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, I believe that what she is saying is true. I have always had the Lord in my heart. 22 years after about a 15 year bout with alcoholism, I called on Jesus to help me and come back into my life. Since then I have followed Him and built a beautiful relationship with Him.<br />
<br />
I've had many supernatural experiences myself. I sought truth and it has been revealed to me over and over again, along with confirmations. So, I have no doubt that there is another life waiting for us when the time comes. One that is free from suffering and pain.<br />
<br />
Repent and call on Jesus Christ<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Romans 8:6 'It is death to limit oneself to what is unspiritual; life and peace can only come with concern for the spiritual.'<br />
<br />
We all have needs like food, clothing, shelter and things that help to sustain our lives, but sometimes we get caught up into the pleasures of the world and these things are the things that we live and strive for. We can become slaves to them, even to the point where they become idols and/or gods. This is what can bring us spiritual death.<br />
<br />
When we seek spiritual things, we grow in spiritual life, we store up treasures in heaven for when we shed this corrupt flesh and move on. Limiting ourselves to the things of the world by living for them, the things of the flesh, can only bring us death.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[James 3:18, 'Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness.'<br />
<br />
We can sow many things by our actions whether it be peace, love, kindness, compassion, empathy or goodness. We can also sow darkness in the form of hate, anger, inconsideration, selfishness, greed, resentments, envy, jealousy and so on.<br />
<br />
What we sow outward is also what we sow inward. By sowing the good things of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we are keeping peace with our fellowman, but when we sow the darkness of evil, we are causing disharmony amongst our fellow brothers and sisters.<br />
<br />
What we sow, is exactly what we are going to reap. So, it comes down to choices that we are going to have to make in how we want to be and live. We can live in the darkness of disharmony or we can live in the light of peace.<br />
<br />
God Bless You<br />
<br />
Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.'<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Ecclesiastes 7:30, 'This, however, you must know: I find that God made man simple; man's complex problems are of his own devising.'<br />
<br />
It's a shame when man doesn't follow the simple life that God has laid out. Man has this problem with his pride, he is always looking to better what God has already made best. So, in turn, he only makes things worse and causes all sorts of complications for himself.<br />
<br />
Man always turns a way from and rejects God's plan and thinks that he has a better way of doing things. That's why we have diseases, famine, unemployment, broken families, unruly children, crime, overcrowding in prisons, all sorts of immoral behavior, alcohol/drug abuse, welfare, corruption, greed, massive debt, violence and so on.<br />
<br />
Researchers don't help at all. Look at all the chemicals that they put in food. Do you think that these are healthy? What about all the altered genetics of animals and plant seeds? There's no telling what the food that we eat is doing to our brain and the rest of our bodies.<br />
<br />
When you build house upon house like, condominiums, apartments, office buildings where they jamb multitudes of people into one room with no fresh air, don\'t you think that illnesses and diseases can spread quickly?<br />
<br />
I'm sure if you look at the way man thinks and lives and look at the way that God taught us how to live, you would see who's plan is the best. But, with man, he always thinks he knows best, that is why everything is so great these days.<br />
<br />
Maybe one day man will realize that he is making a big mistake and will turn back to God and see that He has a better way of living, after all, He is the one that created us. What's wrong with just keeping things simple?<br />

			<title><![CDATA[What Is More Valuable Than Gold and Silver?]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Proverbs 3:13-14, 'Happy the man who discovers wisdom, the man who gains discernment: gaining her is more rewarding than silver, more profitable than gold.'<br />
<br />
Wisdom from God and the gift of discernment is so valuable, it will be with you forever, unlike gold and silver. You can only use gold and silver once and only to purchase an item. Wisdom is knowledge and experience that can be used over and over again. Discernment is the ability to see things clearly and being able to know truth.<br />
<br />
Proverbs 3:15-18, 'She is beyond the price of pearls, nothing that you could covet is her equal. In her right hand is length of days; in her left hand is riches and honor. Her ways are delightful ways, her paths all lead to contentment. She is a tree of life for those who hold her fast, those who cling to her live happy lives.'<br />
<br />
Gold and silver can't bring happiness that lasts, it only brings greed and a false sense of security. God can give everything that the world can't. The world brings death and God gives life. The world gives worries and fears and God gives happiness, joy and peace of mind. The world causes people to be a slave to it, but God gives freedom from its bondages. <br />

These are the ones that know about God, but still want to be a part of the world. Seeking material things, money and any treasure that fulfills the pleasures of the flesh. Their goals are worldly, as for their time. They are a slave of the world may be a part worshipper to God. But they are only deceiving themselves, because you can't worship God, the flesh and the world. It has to be one or the other.<br />

<br />
As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.<br />
<br />
These are the ones that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. If they did they would continue to follow Him, working the scriptures, overcoming themselves (their pride) and the world.<br />
<br />
They lack the faith and strength needed to go through the tests and trials that come their way. So, what happens is, they wind up worrying, doubting that things are going to be all right or fearing the worst. Without a strong foundation in the Word and faith, they fall.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Matthew 13, 'And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them."<br />
<br />
Hear then the parable of the sower.  'When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.'<br />
<br />
In this first part are the ones that are prejudiced to God's Word. They have closed their mind and rejected it without ever dwelling on it to find truth in the Word of God. They've already deceived themselves into thinking that there is no God and that He is a fantasy. They let Satan rob them of the very thing that could've saved them. They have no roots in the Lord, so they wither away and die.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Isaiah 13:11, 'I will punish the world for its evil-doing, and the wicked for their crimes, to put an end to the pride of arrogant men and humble the pride of despots.'<br />
<br />
Arrogant people are people who feed off of their pride. They are walking in darkness, far from the light of the Lord. <br />
<br />
Arrogant people come from both sides of the fence, there are those that ridicule others for their beliefs and mock God, Jesus Christ, the bible and religions. Then there are those that belong to a religion and are arrogant towards those that don't conform to their ways and beliefs. They can become so defensive that they begin to spread hate from their pride instead of love from their heart.<br />
<br />
These types of people are better left to be ignored and left alone. You can't reason with them or have a rational conversation with them. Be silent and let the Lord deal with them. No need for you to get caught up into their ways. The best you can do is be silent and pray for them.<br />
<br />
1Samuel 2:3, 'Do not speak and speak with haughty words, let not arrogance come from your mouth. For Yahweh is an all-knowing God and His is the weighing of deeds.'<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Matthew 7:12, 'So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.'<br />
<br />
How you look at others or what you think of them is basically how you are going to treat them. Some of us pre-judge others before we even get to know them. How we see others are the kind of people that live with. If we see people as mean, rotten, corrupt, nasty, disrespectful and so on, then we never see the good in others. But if we see people as kind, considerate, nice, helpful, happy and so on, then we will never see the bad in people. <br />
<br />
You have to ask yourself, 'What kind of people do I have in my daily life? What type of people that I perceive are affecting my daily life?' The type of people that you see can either fill your day with joy, happiness, stress free and so on, on the other hand, you could have a day that is filled with misery, stress, and may cause things to go wrong through the day.<br />
<br />
It is one thing to treat people in a kind way, but it also takes seeing others as good people. It's not about how they act towards you, but it's about you bringing out the goodness in others. You never know what another person is going through. They might only need a smile from you to brighten their day. <br />
<br />
Have a Great Day!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[These are the bad fruits that are listed in Galatians 5:19-21, 'When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious: fornication, gross indecency and sexual irresponsibility; idolatry and sorcery; feuds and wrangling; jealousy, bad temper and quarrels; disagreements, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies and similar things.<br />
<br />
I warn you now, as I warned you before: those that behave like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.' These are the fruits that keep us disconnected from God. This is what caused the fall of Adam and Eve, not eating an apple.<br />
<br />
These are the Good Fruits that we need to acquire in order to make that union with God: Galatians 5:22, 'What the Spirit brings is very different: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. Take on the Good Fruits and you will find true peace, happiness, joy and freedom from the bondages of this world.'<br />

			<description><![CDATA[James 1:26,27, 'Nobody must imagine that he is religious while he still goes on deceiving himself and not keeping control over his tongue; anyone who does this has the wrong idea of religion. Pure, unspoilt religion, in the eyes of God our Father is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows when they need it, and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world.<br />
<br />
If you see someone that is in need of help in some way, don't walk away from them without seeing what they need and if you can take care of their need then provide it for them.<br />
<br />
As it says in 1 John 2:15,16, 'You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man who loves the world, because nothing the world has to offer--the sensual body, the lustful eye, the pride in possessions--could ever come from the Father but only from the world.'<br />
<br />
We must let go of the things of the world and seek the spiritual things that God has to offer.<br />
