			<description><![CDATA[Proverbs 4:24-27, 'Turn your back on the mouth that misleads, keep your distance from lips that deceive. Let your eyes be fixed ahead, your gaze be straight before you. Let the path you tread be level and all your ways made firm. Turn neither to right nor to left, keep your foot clear of evil.'<br />
<br />
Pay Attention to God's Word<br />
<br />
Don't burden yourself with the things the world has to offer. You will be walking the road of steep hills and climbing mountains.<br />
<br />
Put on the yoke Jesus has to offer and as you overcome the world and yourself the hills and mountains will be laid low. Your ways will become solid as you build on the foundation of Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
The way of the world is a stumbling block and an obstacle course. The way of the Lord is straight and narrow. Very few find this road. They just can't let go of the world or themselves. <br />
<br />
As you overcome the sins that you distant you from Knowing God, your path will become obstacle free and the hills and mountains will be leveled. Your eyes will begin to see truth more clearer. Pray for the gift of discernment, we need it to distinguish between what is true and what is false. <br />
<br />
God Bless You<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Detach yourself from the world (read 1 John 2:16-17) in order to grow spiritually and get closer to God. The world and worldly people hate God, Jesus and anyone associated to us and them. They despise Truth, they can't handle Truth. Truth takes away the things of the world that they seek pleasures in and desires.<br />
<br />
The evils of the world begin with pride. Want for yourself. Take care of myself first. Forget about God and others, I have needs too. Toiling day and night for temporary happiness. Ambition for the temporary things in life. People say," Didn't God give us all these things to take pleasure in?" Yet God gets put on the shelf. <br />
<br />
Instead of God being the center of our universe, the things of the world are. Spiritual, devout people, so few, so very few. Nothing in the heart, all from the lips. The false self rules.<br />
<br />
Jesus' life, death and resurrection for you. A great act of love. So few can give up their petty lives to receive the abundance of this love.                                                <br />
<br />
God Bless You<br />

			<description><![CDATA[(Exodus 20:1-20) Many people have felt that fear in their hearts, but lose it when they choose or go back to the world.<br />
<br />
It's a terrible thing to have to be the one who angers God. Our sinful nature causes us to be blind to the wonderful things God is offering us. The main thing is His divine love and everlasting eternal life.<br />
<br />
We need to look inward not outward. Ask Jesus to help you see yourself, so you too can nail your flesh to the cross and be reborn. The flesh is corrupt and it corrupts your mind, your heart and your soul. Which leaves you disconnected from God.                                          <br />

			<description><![CDATA[If you choose to become a preacher, a teacher or an elder and you accept to take on the responsibility of being a Shepard to the Lord's flock, you had better be well prepared spiritually. <br />
<br />
To take on such a big responsibility, one needs to have been taught by the Lord and not by man. The only way one can know the truth is to have been shown it, by walking with Jesus to the cross, dying in Him and being reborn again. One needs to be baptized with the Holy Spirit as well. <br />
<br />
How could anyone possibly know the truth if they haven't been taught it by the Spirit of Truth? (John 14:15-17) To teach someone half-truth is a lie and it could be a downfall for both of you. <br />
<br />
God Bless You<br />

			<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 />

			<content:encoded><![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 />

<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 />
