The fool says in his heart there is no God. Even though it’s difficult for us to teach a monkey mathematics; yet God will make a donkey talk. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;but fools despise wisdom and instructions”according to Proverbs 1:7. Listen to this written fact,”Reprove not a scorner,lest he hates thee;rebuke a wise man,and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man,and he will be yet wiser;teach a just man,and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied,and the years of thy life shall be increased,if though be wise,thou shalt be wise for thyself;but if thou scornest,thou alone shalt bear it. A foolish woman is clamorous;she is simple,and knoweth nothing” (Proverbs 9:8-13). And proverbs 10:21-23 follows up by saying,”The lips of the righteous feed many;but fools die for want of wisdom. The blessing of the Lord,it maketh rich,and He addeth no sorrow with it. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief;but a man of understanding hath wisdom”. Again I must ask; are you wise or foolish? Because,wise people serve,worship,praise,honor,and thank God daily,but fools don’t. Here is some more advice from Proverbs 14:6-12,”A scorner seeketh wisdom,and findeth it not;but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. Go from the presence of a foolish man,when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way;but the folly of fools is deceit. FOOLS MAKE A MOCK AT SIN;but among the righteous there is favor. The heart knoweth his own bitterness ,and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tabernacle of the upright shall florish. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,but the end thereof are the ways of death”. Did you get the point,or must I go on? Here,is Ecclesiastes 2:13-16,”Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly,as far as light excelleth darkness. The wise man’s eyes are in his head;but the fool walketh in darkness;and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. Then said I in my heart,as it happeneth to the fool,so it happeneth even even to me;and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart,that this also is vanity. For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever;seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? As the fool”. So I urge you as Ephesians 5:15-17 says,”See,then,that ye walk circumspectly,not as fools,but as wise, redeeming the time,because the days are evil. Wherefore,be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is”. Finally,as I stated in the beginning,quotes from Psalms 14:1 & 53:1-2,”THE FOOL hath said in his heart,there is no God. Corrupt are they,and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God look down from heaven upon the children of men,to see if there any that did undetstand,that seek God. Everyone of them is gone back;they are all together become filthy;there is non that doeth good,no not one”. This is one of the many reasons,God had to send Jesus,to make us right,and to show us how to be obedient to God ,Our Creator. Now is your opportunity to be wise,and make it right with God,to get started,just simple go to the top of this blog, then click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you the rest of the way.

THE END
There are things in life that must end,in order for better things to come,for example a boyfriend and girlfriend should end,and marriage begins. A best friend should turn into a brother or sister,which if you are christian it’s automatic.The earth as we know it,loaded with sin, must also end,and as John reveals to us in Revelation 21:1″And I saw a new heaven and a new earth;for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away,and there was no more sea”. Be aware folks,”But the end of all things is at hand;be ye therefore,sober-minded,and watch unto prayer… For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house if God;and if it first begin at us,what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? { 1Peter 4:7 &17}. For many walk,of whom I have told you often,and now tell you even weeping,that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ,whose end is destruction,whose God is their belly,and whose glory is in their shame,who mind earthly things.(Philippians 3:18-19).However,Matthew 24:6-14,reveals to us the signs to look for,when the end is near,”And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars;see that ye be not troubled;for all these things must come to pass,but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom,and there shall be famines,and pestilences,and earthquakes,in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.. And many false prophets shall arise,and shall deceive many;and because iniquity shall abound,the love if many shall grow cold. But he that shall endure unto the end,the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations,and then shall the end come’. Are you ready for the end? “Behold I come quickly,blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book(the Bible) {Revelation 22:7}. Are you ready for the end? If not go to the top of this blog,and register for your name to be written in the Lambs book of life,by following the directions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you the rest of the way .
SWEETER THAN HONEY
Have you ever tasted honey? It have a distinct taste and it never spoils. Some folks even refer to their significant other as honey,because of the sweet characteristics they portray. However,have you ever experience the sweetness of God’s word. The word of God is an acquired taste,therefore ,if you are operating in the natural state,you will never taste anything,because,it has a distinct heavenly taste that only those who desire it badly,will taste it.King David,in Psalms119: 103 wrote,”How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea,sweeter than honey to the mouth”. And in Psalm 34:8,he said,” Oh,taste and see that the Lord is good;blessed is the man who trusts in Him”. Have you tasted and see for yourself? What makes God’s word so sweet is that it satisfies every craving and addictions in your life. When you taste the sweetness of God’s word,it totally transforms you into a better person,which will make you seek Him first,and His Kingdom,so that He can add the things you need. You will study the word to show yourself approved unto God,and never be ashamed. You will want to meditate on His word day,and night,you will want to present your body as a living sacrifice that’s holy and acceptable unto God. You will hate evil,sin and all unrighteous deeds,and above all you will have the urge to go tell it on the mountain,over the hills,and everywhere. However,Psalms 19:7-11 eloquently puts it this way,”The law of the Lord is perfect,converting the soul,the testimony of the Lord is sure,making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right,rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure,enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever;the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold,yea,than much fine gold;sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover,by them is thy servant warned;and in keeping of them there is great rewards”. So we see that God’s word is sweet,it’s perfect,it’s sure,it makes you wise,it rejoices the heart,it’s pure,it enlightens the eyes,it’s desiteable than gold,it warns,it converts the soul,and there is a great reward when you keep them. Are you ready to taste it? Jeremiah 15:16 says,”Thy words were found,and I did eat them,and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart,for I am called by thy name,O Lord of hosts”. Hebrews 6:4-6 says,”For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,and have tasted of the heavenly gift,and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,and have tasted the good word of God,and the powers of the age to come,if they shall fall away,to renew them again unto repentance,seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,and put Him to an open shame”.Do you hear that call or feel that pull,then get started by going to the top of this blog,then click on the salvation page,and follow the instructions; then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you on the right path.
What’s Love got to do with it ? EVERYTHING.
Peolpe use the word love lightly. Do you love because of what the person can do for you? or do you love inspite of what the person does and does not do? What people classify as love, and what God says is love is different. God is love, He displays love and He gives love no matter what. It’s only when we need reflect His love, then we inherit His wrath and anger (?)
As children of God, God wants us to display His kind of love to Him and each other because love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. If you don’t love then you don’t know God, because God is all about love.
No person on earth can love like how God loves; He proved His love for us by sending His only begotten Son into the world to die for our sins so that we can live through Him. John 3:16-17 and 1 John 4:9-10, along with many other scriptures confirms this. Therefore God is telling us that if we claim to be His child, we should display the characteristics or traits of His unconditional love. Can you? Will you? Don’t let your love grow cold because if iniquity as Matthew 24:12 cautions us,just keep on loving God and your neighbor as yourself. God is still the God of love,no matter what’s happening.Just endure unto the end and you will be saved(Matthew24:13).
PASSING THE TEST
You will never move to the next level,until you pass the test. You can change locations,change jobs,get a new make over,or whatever,you will not go higher until you have passed the test. No one is exempted from the testings of life,not even when you are sleeping with the devil. The school of life is similar to the school system,except the rewards are different. One gives an earthly and self gratification award,that is acceptable to men,while the other gives heavenly rewards that is only given and accepted by God. No one likes the test,even though it develops every aspect of your life. However,to pass every test one has to be devoted,dedicated,and determined otherwise it will be detrimental to your life,health and happiness. As a child of God,or a christian to pass the test,you must be obedient to God’s commands, located in the Bible,from Genesis to Revelation. Even Jesus had to pass the test,and was obedient,In Hebrews 5:8-9 “Though He were a Son,yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered,and being made perfect,He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him”. You can’t just choose the parts that fits your lifestyle,and ignore the rest;that’s the reason why Jesus told the devil and is telling us the same thing,in Matthew 4:4″It is written,man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. Therefore,you will never pass the test,and move into your destiny,unless you are willing to be obedient in all aspect of your life. God wasn’t joking when He said in 1Samuel 15:22&23″.. Behold,to obey is better than sacrifice,and to hearken(listen) than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…” So are you obeying all His words,or just the ones that you are comfortable with,the ones that suits you,and neither condemn or convict? Then unfortunately you will not pass the test,and like the children of Israel you will ve stuck in the wilderness of sin,for forty or more years,just complaining and murmuring against God,as we see in Exodus. But,”If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God,and wilt do that which is right in His sight,and will give ear to His commandments,and keep all His statutes,I will put none of these diseases upon thee…” Exodus 15:26. From Genesis to Revelation we see that all God requires is obedience. Are you obedient? Do you want to start being obedient,then get started by going to the top if this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you the rest of the way. Remember,the test is not hard,because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you(Phil.4:13),and Jesus said,in John 16:33 “In the word ye shall have tribulation (test,etc.);but be of good cheer;I have overcome the world”. And Romans 8 from beginning to end gives us the confidence,faith,hope,and trust in God,because nothing can seperate us from the love if Christ,and we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us,deposit that in the bank of your life,and cash it in everytime the devil comes knocking,he is already defeated by the blood of the Lamb,and by the word of our testimony….1John 5:4″For everyone born of God overcomes the world;This is the victory that has overcome the world,even our faith”. And the best part is in James 1:2-4 &12,do some work find it and read it.Lol.
REMEMBER
How is it that we can always remember the bad things that people do,and never the good. How is it people can remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy,but forget the commandments. Is this what the psychiatrist call selective memory? Many Christians must suffer with selective memory,because they always remember what the devil tells them to do,and forget what God says to do. God says ,that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Phil.4:19),and the devil tell us it’s the job,so we listen to the devil,till we get fired,and then ask God why. God tells us, in Jeremiah 29:11-13. “For I know the plans I have for you,declares the Lord,plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me,and come and pray to me,and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me,when you seek me with all your heart”. So if God tells us this why are we allowing the devil to steal,kill,and destroy the words God spoke. God doesn’t lie,so don’t believe the devils lies,doubts and fears,the Bible says in Romans 10:17″So,then,faith cometh by hearing,and hearing by the word of God”. Did you hear and remember what God said,about supplying your needs,according to His riches in glory,not stock market,investment banking,nor insurance or 401k,He did not say by any earthly means. So when are you going to stand on the promises of Christ your savior. Start believing the word of God. Why can’t we remember God’s word and promises? Is it because,we don’t study to show ourselves approved unto God as 2 Timothy 2:15 suggests,or is it,because we don’t allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us. Because,Jesus said in John 14:26″But the comforter,who is the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in my name,He shall teach you all things,and bring all things to your Remembrance,whatever I have said unto you”. So what’s the excuse? Why the doubts,fears,disbelief,or unbelief,get rid of that junk and meditate on the word as Joshua 1:8 suggest so that you can have good success. Remember, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him;for he that cometh to God must believe that He is,a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6. Whatever,happen to us remembering and believing Psal 27,”The Lord is my Shepherd,I shall not want,If God is your Father,then listen and obey Him,no matter what you are facing. God wants to know,”How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God,follow him; but if Ba’al,then follow him.1Kings 18:21. “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God;for it is He who giveth thee power to get wealth,that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers,as it is this day”. I could go on and on,but will you get it. However,if you don’t know the Lord,and would like to know Him,and be a part of His benefit plan,then go to the top if this blog,and click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead,direct,and guide your path.
YOUR IMPOSSIBILITIES IS GOD’S POSSIBILITIES
Is anything too hard for the Lord ? At the time appointed I will return unto thee,according to the time of life,and Sarah shall have a son (Genesis 18:14). Ah,Lord God! Behold,thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and outstretched arm,and there is nothing too hard for thee. Behold,I am the Lord,the God of all flesh,is there anything too hard for Me ? [Jeremiah 32:17&27]. “Children,how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,than for a rich man to enter into the the kingdom of God,and they were astonished out of measure,saying among themselves,who,then can be saved? And Jesus,looking upon them,saith, with men it is impossible,but not with God;for with God all things are possible”,as we are told in Mark 10:24-27. However,in luke 1:37,it says ,For with God nothing shall be impossible. Most folks get their education,and jobs ,house,and car,and never give credit to God,or Jesus His only begotten Son,who died for us so that,ee could be free,and He stated,clearly in John 15:5b”For without me ye can do nothing”. Though I walk in the midst of trouble,thou wilt revive me,thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies ,and thy rigjt hand shall save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me. Thy mercy,O Lord,endureth forever,forsake not the works of thine own hands says,Psalms 138:7-8. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me,O God! How great is the sum of them! Psalm 139:17. “And this is the confidence that we have in Him,that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us,whatever we ask,we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him,according to 1John 5:14-15. Because,as Ephesians 3:20 eloquently puts it”Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,according to the power that worketh in us”. For God to do the impossible for you. You must start by doing as He says in 2 Chronicles 7:14″If my people,who are called by my name,shall humble themselves ,and pray,and seek my face,and turn from their wicked eayd,then will I hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin,and will heal their land”. Behold,the Lord’s hand is not shortened,that it cannot save;neither his ear heavy,that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have seperated between you and your God,and your sins have hidden his face from you,that He will not hear”[Isaiah 59:1-2].

ASK FOR A NEW HEART
When you want to start a new life,be sure to ask God for a heart transplant. Because that’s where He looks,first to see who you are,and what you are made of, Just say, “Create in me a clean heart,O God,and renew a steadfast spirit within me,David said it,in Psalms 51:10,and his life was changed to better. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,says the Lord;I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds I will write them;and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more, now where remission of these is,there is no more offering gor sin(Hebrews10:16-18). My child (son),forget not my law,but let your heart keep my commandments;for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you;let not mercy and truth forsake you,bind them around your neck,write them on the tablet of your heart ,and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and men says,Proverbs 3: 1-4. In Ezekiel 36:26-27 it reads,”A new heart also will I give you,and a new spirit will I put within you;and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you,and cause you to walk in my statutes,and ye shall keep mine ordinances,and do them”. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days,saith the Lord,I will put my law in their inward parts,and write it in their hearts,and will be their God,and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor,and everyman his brother,saying,know the Lord;for they shall all know me,from the least of them unto the greatest of them,saith the Lord;for I will forgive their iniquity,and I will remember their sin no more. Thus saith the Lord,who giveth the sun for a light by day,and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,who divideth the sea when its waves roar; the Lord of hosts is His name”(Jeremiah 31:33-35). Do you need a new and pure heart made over by God,then you must seek Him,to get started go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you on your journey.
GOD IS SPEAKING,ARE YOU LISTENING ?
“Come now,and let us reason together,saith the Lord;though your sins be as scarlet,they shall be as white as snow;though they be red like crimson,they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient,ye shall eat the good of the land. But if ye refuse and rebel,ye shall be devoured with the sword;for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it”[Isaiah 1: 18-20]. Hear counsel,and receive instruction,that thou mayest be wise in the latter end. There are many devises in a man’s heart;nevertheless,the counsel of the Lord,that shall stand. The desire of a man is his kindness,and a poor man is better than a liar. The fear of the Lord tendeth to life,and he who hath it shall abide satisfied,he shall not be visited with evil according to Proverbs 19:20-23. “But the path of the just is like the shining light,that shineth more and more into unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness;they know not what they stimble. My son,attend to my words;incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes;keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them,and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence;for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a crooked mouth,and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on,and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet,and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left,remove thy foot from evil” ]Proverbs 4:18-27]. I will instruct you,and teach you in the way which thou shalt go,I will guide thee with mine eye,He says,in Psalms 32:8 My child,forget not my law,but let thine heart keep my commandments;For length of days,and long life,and peace,shall they add to thee, Let not mercy and truth forsake thee,bind them about thy neck;write them upon the table of thine heart; so shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes,fear the Lord,and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel,and marrow to thy bones. Honor the Lord with thy substance,and with the first fruits of all thine increase;so shall thy barnes be filled with plenty,and thy presses shall burst out with new wine”(Proverbs 3:1-10). Now comes the warning,” Behold,to obey is better than sacrifice,and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…”1 Samuel 15:22&23. Wherefore,as the Holy Spirit saith,Today if ye will hear His voice,harden not your hearts..”Hebrews 3:7&8.

GOD’S UNSPEAKABLE GIFT
Why do people give up the good and perfect gift ,for flowers and chocolates ? Why honor and respect Valentine, instead of Jesus who knows everything about love,and demonstrate what love truly is by giving His life .People look for all kinds of gifts,and look forward for their significant other to pop the question.But God gave us His best gift,and pop the question to us everyday,WILL YOU LOVE AND OBEY ME? Most people only give gifts on special occasions, like Valentines day,Christmas,anniversary ,birthday,and other special occasions. However,God’s gifts are available to us daily,and it has a lifetime guarantee. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift [2Corinthians 9:15]. How many people really appreciate this gift? And how many really know who or what this gift is? Well John 3:16 tells us,” For God so loved the world,that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,but have everlasting life”. Most people in these latter days think they can buy their way into heaven,or that their good works will get them there,but Ephesians 2:8-9 says,”For by grace are ye saved through faith,and that not of yourselves,it is the gift of God;not of works,lest any man should boast”. God doesn’t brag about how much His gift cost,yet people know the cost,it is priceless,yet they reject it daily,and take it for granted. “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance says,Romans 11:29. Jesus gives us His gift of love,and tells us to love even our enemies,”That ye may be the children of your Father,who is in heaven;for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good,and sendeth rain on the just and unjust”(Matthew 5:45). Why do people refuse God’s unspeakable gift ,when nothing is comparable or compatible,even though James 1:17 reminds us that,”Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,and cometh down from the Father of lights,with whom is no variableness,neither shadow of turning”. So why are so many people rejecting this good ,and perfect gift,for flowers and chocolates. Will you give yourself or someone the best gift ever,by introducing yourself or someone to Jesus Christ,you can get started by going to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you,then introduce Him to a friend or love one. May the good Lord,bless and keep you,and make His face shine upon you,and be gracious to you,may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you,and give you peace. Don’t worry He is able to keep you from falling…Jude 24.
