Psalm 98

1O sing to the LORD a new song,
         For He has done wonderful things,
         His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.
    2The LORD has made known His salvation;
         He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
    3He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
         All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
    4Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth;
         Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.
    5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,
         With the lyre and the sound of melody.
    6With trumpets and the sound of the horn
         Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.
    7Let the sea roar and all it contains,
         The world and those who dwell in it.
    8Let the rivers clap their hands,
         Let the mountains sing together for joy
    9Before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth;
         He will judge the world with righteousness
         And the peoples with equity.

So friends God is real, He is not a story or a fable, He is real, as we live and breathe He made us to do so and that can stop at anytime and you must know that you know that you know who God is in your heart of hearts and that you are His.  God wants each and every one of you to know He loves you and wants each one of you to stop thinking about yourself and start looking to the left or right who needs something that you can do or give to help your neighbors out.  Its ironic I just spoke something similar in Sunday School at Church, but I guess God just wants everyone to know, make this year a year that you stand up for Him and get on your knees and pray, give Him thanks for what you have, for your life, your food He supplied, for your homes, your family and take MUCH JOY in all He has given you instead of saying I want more, I need more, give to someone who has not, Jesus says “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends”.  You don’t have to lay your life down and die but how about helping your neighbors like the older gentleman next door, rake his leaves or bring a drink or even food to someone or just do something nice to someone you may not even know, how do you know, you may be entertaining an Angel sent by God to see what would you do in Faith. Hebrews 13:1-2  says Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. (KJV)

I bring this story up as I teach Sunday school once in a while, my wife Caroline and I were in Philadelphia a year or so ago and we were walking down the main road looking where to eat and having a deep discussion on that and then we looked left and seen a young man choosing his restaurant a GARBAGE CAN I hate to say this but we just looked at each other and kept on walking but our conversation changed it was focused on all the people in the streets sleeping with all they own, not being bathed, oh yeah we can say, that is what they choose but did they?  They are our neighbors Jesus spoke about when He said “Love thy neighbor as thyself”, and we want a new Benz, a Coach Bag, T-Bone Steak, we have been so busy being busy for ourselves we forgot about the message Scrooge had to learn, the Spirit of Christmas should be in each and everyone of us each and everyday of our lives not just at Christmas or Easter or even just Sunday’s or even Wednesday’s, He wants us each and every day to look up to Him and ask, “What would thee have for me to do this day to glorify You, Lord?”

God wants us to show His Love and it is time we stand up for what God wants in this great world we have been sitting on our no doers to long, we have let them kill our babies, take away a our parental rights, take God out of Schools, Court Houses and so on, it is time we get prayer and God back where they belong. What has happened since they took prayer out of school?, The Columbine Murders for one and many other school massacres, if we take God out of our lives how can we blame God? When He doesn’t seem to be there, remember He only answered your prayer GET OUT OF MY LIFE, so He did, and now anarchy came in His place.  If you want to ask Gods help just ask Him in faith and He will answer, you could start by saying this

Dear Holy Father,

Thank you for my life that You gave me, sorry I misused it, please forgive me.

Come back into my life, Father I need you to show me how to live for You

here on earth so I can spend eternity with You in heaven.  Precious Jesus please join with my spirit, yours, so I can truly desire the things of God and start living again.

In Jesus name I pray Amen.

It is that simple to be sure you belong to God and when that day comes when He calls from above you will know where you are going, but for now learn to live for Christ by reading the Bible daily if you don’t know where to start pray and ask God where He may want you to begin but I always recommend the Book of John to the end of the Bible then start over from Genesis and read four chapters a day and you will read the whole Bible in one year but God doesn’t just want you to read His precious Word, He wants you to study it, live it, share it.  In many Bibles there are study methods or schedules or you can buy a study Bible, but the main thing is to learn to love God again.

Then find a Bible PREACHING CHURCH that teaches about prayer, Gods Faithfulness, Jesus Crucified dead and buried and rose on the third day, preaching on the Holy Spirit and His part of the Trinity.

Just find a church that preaches the truth, no man made traditions, as you read the Bible and learn of the Pharisees you will learn of their traditions Jesus called them hypocrites for.

I love all of you, God has started me on my next journey and this is the beginning, please take this to your heart pray about this, ask me questions, I am here always for you from God.  My contact information is below.
