The Cell

Ever feel like your trap and there is no way out? Your not sure how you got there and how do you get out of this trap. Christ gives you a way out of this cell that is called sin. It hold you in and want let you free. Sin keeps bond and only desire is to steal away your joy and hope for the future.

  Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Notice that Jesus does not say he will show you the way. He says, "I am the way!"

   Jesus also spoke of a narrow road and a wide road. Many walk on that wide road, which in the end is the way of death ( Matthew 7:13).

Sin is not a fabrication

Sin  in not a fabrication it is real and it is what separates us from the Father. God gave Adam dominion over the world  in Gen. 1:28. When he rebelled against God, he set in motion an entire series of events and changed the very nature of man and creation. Both were affected by sin. Creation was no longer a paradise, but bore thorns and thistles.    Sin is rebellion against God. But God has not left us alone in this fallen state.  His Son is brought  to the cross so that we might have the opportunity to obtain eternal life. In this, God has not stepped away from his fallen creation, but has stepped into it by  sending Christ to pay the sin price for us.
Even the non believer is perplexed by why such evil things happen in today's society.  Question such as the following are often asked of Christians:   Why is there suffering? Why are the innocent victimized? Is there purpose in pain? Is there any escape? For the Christian, who believes that God is all-good and all-powerful, answers to these questions are especially important. Because usually their argument says, “If God is all-powerful, he could prevent or eliminate suffering. If God is all-good, he would not want his creation to suffer. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Revelations. 21:4).
Suffering is the result of human sin aka (evil or bad) Even the Catholic Church calls it evil instead of sin.  There will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.

No being a Christians does not make you immune to sin. For we are sinners saved by grace, not something we earned but it is simply God's favor.  Being showed to those of us who are able to admit that we need him. Admitting  that we are not good enough to enter heaven without his grace and mercy which was the blood of Christ that covers a sinner like you and I. 

Who have you witness to lately???

The guy in this video says he's a Calvary Chapel Member, not sure what the message that being taught at the Calvary he attends, but one things for certain he's not getting it. Yet here is young lady who is not a Calvary Chapel member but a child of God attempt to remind him of who God is and who were called to be in Christ.  Who are you in Christ.
   "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:37-39)


. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.." (Romans 8:28) Not some things. All THINGS. Losses as well as gain; invisible things as well as visible; those that are bitter as well as those that are sweet. All things work together for good.

Let stop letting the devil have the victory, I heard a pastor say that in Paul's life time the devil was not a happy guy, cause he was not able to get the victory over Paul, he said he bet when Paul died the devil had a feast for he no longer had to battle against Paul.  Will that be said of us? Or are we just push overs to afraid to stand upon the word of God?  Do we live in fear? Does the world have a stronger god than ours?  If not then why do we walk in defeat?  Okay maybe we hide in defeat, to afraid to speak out of work because you might loose that job, who gave you the job?  Too afraid to tell my family and friends the truth because they might not like me, or disown me, but Christ bought you with a price he is with you always.
So tell me what is holding you back from witnessing to others about someone who can save anybody.  Do you need to be in her situation before you stand up for Christ, would stand up even if it meant you dieing??? Really then don't you do it now, cause each day we live we die, hopeful we are dieing to our flesh and living for Christ and not for the devil. I want to be a thorn in the devils side don't you????

Are we still one Nation under God???? Are we????

Have we truly forgotten how to be a Christian Nation??? Oh Father help us to stand as the nation that you allowed us to be. For the enemy has feed this nation  lies and they have devoured it and asked for seconds.  Let us who are called by your name remember your promise:  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

America was formed off the sweat and tear and blood of men who believed in God, our forefather George Washington was a Christian and was know that when he was traveling and  whatever town he stop in and that had  a church that is where he would be spending his Sunday worship. Not demo nationalist, but a simple believer. What oh men of God do you truly believe in, not what your lips say. What does your actions and your heart say to our heavenly Father.

"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under. Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States." 

Wow so I'm not the only one who actually understands the importance of America being true to its grass roots of being a nation that serves God and proudly announces it to the world that we are a Christian nation. But wait how can we be? Do we not allow Muslims to build their worship centers in our country?  Shocking right?  Wrong King David allowed the same thing  when he married pagan wives, yet the apple did not fall from the tree cause King Solomon did the exact thing. Surely this proof that its okay to denounce being a Christian nation instead to announce ourselves as nation of all religions.  Think about it, if what I've said is right take a stand. If not ignore it as old military guy with a few screws loose.

To Save a life A must see movie

It was the blood

"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)

The thought that the death of Jesus and His shed blood were somehow the ransom price paid to redeem lost sinners from an eternal prison in hell has been a stumbling block to many of those very sinners. Yet that is the teaching of Scripture, whether it appeals to their reasoning's or not. "Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold.But with the precious blood of Christ" . In the Old Testament economy, ransoms were paid for various reasons, to free slaves, for example. The last use of "ransom" in the Old Testament, however, seems to foreshadow the New Testament concept. "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death" (Hosea 13:14).

But to whom was the ransom of Christ to be paid? Not to Lucifier, or to any human king. It can only have been paid to God Himself, for He had set "the wages of sin" to be "death" (Romans 6:23). For a time, these wages had been paid in part "by the blood of the lamb and also goats and calves" offered on the altar as a temporary covering for sins. But that was only until the true ransom could be paid. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who  offererd himself in our behalf without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"  He paid a price that none of could afford,, not Abraham, not Issac not even Moses or David could pay that price, only the son God could do what man had failed to do which is to live a perfect and upright life.

Such a sacrifice was not foolishness as the scoffer claims, but "the power of God, and the wisdom of God". "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man kind, and that is Christ; Who gave himself a ransom for all. By his blood we are redeemed, by the precious blood of the lamb of God.

I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
I know it was the blood for me.

Verse 2
They nailed Him to the cross,

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
they nailed Him to the cross for me.

Verse 3
They pierced Him in His side,

they pierced Him in His side for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
they pierced Him in His side for me.

Verse 4
He never said a mumbling word,
He never said a mumbling word,
He never said a mumbling word for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
He never said a mumbling word for me.

Verse 5
He hung His head and died,
He hung His head and died,
He hung His head and died for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
He hung His head and died for me.

Verse 6
He rose up from the dead,
He rose up from the dead,
He rose up from the dead for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
He rose up from the dead for me.

Verse 7
He's coming back again,
He's coming back again,
He's coming back again for me.

One day when I was lost
He died upon that cross,
He's coming back again for me. 

What proof do you have that Christ is who he says he is???

No I don't want to hear what your pastor said or some TV Evangelist said, but I want to know how you know it?

First off historian speak of Christ: The first-century Roman Tacitus, who is considered one of the more accurate historians of the ancient world, mentioned superstitious “Christians” (from Christus, which is Latin for Christ), who suffered under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius. Suetonius, chief secretary to Emperor Hadrian, wrote that there was a man named Chrestus (or Christ) who lived during the first century (Annals 15.44).

Then there was: Flavius Josephus is the most famous Jewish historian. In his Antiquities he refers to James, “the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ.” There is a controversial verse (18:3) that says, “Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man. For he was one who wrought surprising feats....He was the  Christ...he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him.” One version reads, “At this time there was a wise man named Jesus. His conduct was good and [he] was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. But those who became his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion, and that he was alive; accordingly he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders.”

Also there was: Julius Africanus quotes the historian Thallus in a discussion of the darkness which followed the crucifixion of Christ (Extant Writings, 18).

Pliny the Younger, in Letters 10:96, recorded early Christian worship practices including the fact that Christians worshiped Jesus as God and were very ethical, and he includes a reference to the love feast and Lord’s Supper.

The Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) confirms Jesus' crucifixion on the eve of Passover and the accusations against Christ of practicing sorcery and encouraging Jewish apostasy.

Lucian of Samosata was a second-century Greek writer who admits that Jesus was worshiped by Christians, introduced new teachings, and was crucified for them. He said that Jesus' teachings included the brotherhood of believers, the importance of conversion, and the importance of denying other gods.


Did you know ?  “The latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica gives twenty thousand words to this person, Jesus, and does not even hint that He did not exist—more words, by the way, than are given to Aristotle, Alexander, Cicero, Julius Caesar, or Napoleon Bonaparte.”

C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity writes the following: “I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [Jesus Christ]: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.”

The above information is offered as proof outside the bible to support what Christ himself said: “‘I tell you the truth,’ Yeshua answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’”  The Jews understood Jesus’ statement as a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one”

While the information that has been provide you from above, may not be enough to prove the point that Christ was lord and that every knee shall bow and confess him Lord.

Okay here's the deal, I would rather spend my life believing in God and find out I'm wrong after I'm dead. Than to live a life believing there is no God and then come face to face with him in eternity.  Bottom line folks if I'm wrong I've lost nothing, if your wrong you've lost your eternal soul.  You get once chance and that is the here and the now.  Some of you know in your hearts what I'm saying is true, yet you keep putting it off, tomorrow is not promised to any man. Some may say I will do it, I just got to get my life in order first, wrong answer that is God's job, he said come to him just as you are.  So what are you waiting for!!!!

Coffee With Jesus

Are you an Imitator of your Jesus? (So which Jesus do you serve)

Yes it here again, I will be reposting this message till we all get it!!!!  The hour is at hand, Christ is coming back so its time you stop playing around and take a stand for Christ. Attending a Church does not save you, acknowledge Christ and lord and savior of your life and that you and I need his forgiveness and his grace and mercy each and everyday of our lives.  Well at least I know that I do for I'm faltered from birth. There is nothing good in me except for Christ, without him I can do nothing through him I'm able to do all things.

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:1-2)

 The call to imitate God is a call to separate ourselves from the world though we may be in but not of it  (Ephesians 4:17-19) and how we have been made new (Ephesians 4:20-24) and then gave us specific ways to do that (Ephesians4:25-32).

Our call is to live with the same love that Christ has demonstrated.  Jesus laying down his life for us, was first of all an expression of his love for his Father. Jesus did it, not only because of his love for us, but because first of all he loved the Father and this was  the Father’s will. This ‘life of love’ is not to be something we do to make ourselves feel good or appear good, it is to come out of and be an expression of our love for God Himself.  When John says, “We love because he first loved us,” (1 John 4:19). The first thing we need to do in the Christian life is become utterly convinced of God’s love.

On Sunday they raise their hands to heaven and declare that it is Jesus that they serve.

Then why do we look so much like the world?

Did you know that the wheat and the tare, the world can't tell which is which and quite frankly neither can I. So I pose the question again, which Jesus do you serve?

My Savior bleed and suffered and died and rose again for a sinner like me. My Savior, was a friend to friendless, He remembers the forgotten ones among us, Which Jesus do you follow?

 Which Jesus do you serve?

Is it this picture of the American dream that you chase after? Is the prince of this world who you serve or did you miss that part when you decided you want fortune and fame?

If Jesus was here would you walk right by him or cross over to the other side of the street? 

Would you even recognize him or have time to speak to him?

Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a white complexion Michael Angelo version of Jesus ,is that the Jesus you serve? My Savior was battered and bruised for my sins, did you miss that part? Sometimes I ponder do we really understand what the price he paid for us?

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they understand and they know My Savior. So which Jesus do we serve. is it the one whom we pray to bless us with great wealth? Or the Jesus who said

blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness?

 So who do you serve? The one whose promises are like shifting sand?

Marine says it God , then country and the marine Corp, what comes first for you?

My Jesus would he be accepted in our churches today? All bloody and bruised with no shoes on his feet, would we want him sitting next to us?  He was not rich he didn't have a pillow to lay his head upon. Today my Jesus would look like a homeless man or perhaps we would see him as mentally insane.

He spent His time with criminals and those that are considered the least among us. Did you know he had a heart for the poor, so which place would  He come to eat Sabbath meal at your house or among those that were forgotten by society?

Its time we decide which Jesus do we serve ? I'm not sure we understand what that means to be like Christ,

Jesus said to live like HIM, love like HIM but then does that mean we must be willing to die for HIM?

Can we all be Imitators of Christ? Can we all live like our Savior?   I turned on the TV set today and heard a man preaching Jesus wants to make you rich and that he never intended for us to be poor.  Is that the Jesus your seeking??? Heard a pastor say that his Jesus says that we should never be sad. Yet my Jesus wept when heard his good friend was dead. So which Jesus do you serve?  I know that I want to be more like my Savior and less like me.  I want to be an imitator of my Savior what about you????
