How are we to be when we hear something not 100% from God?
Here's a question for discussion? What are we to do as the body of Christ as we get to go to different churches and listen to different preachers and teachers and as we listen and learn what parts or ideas do we take away and incorporate those parts or ideas into our souls,spirits,minds?
Are we to be like mindless sheep heading bobbing in agreement? Or are we told to study God's word and have a firm foundation in the scriptures and in that understanding do we speak up when someone
teaches or preaches out of line with God's word.
That's my question and my concern to each of you that read my blog's.
How do we address teaching that are not lined up? Do we throw out the whole message? Or do we pick thru it and take out the good parts and toss the bones out and eat the meat? Do we try and discuss our concerns with those that teach? Or do we remain quiet like mindless sheep?
I am in turmoil about something I heard and most of the message was great but towards the end the teacher began to talk about having enough Faith and by having Healing and he stated that the amount of your faith makes how much healing you will receive. In other words if your healing doesn't happen then your faith wasn't big or good enough to show God that you are ready to be healed.
So where do I go with these problems? Yes I have prayed about it and now I am asking for your thoughts and ideas on what to do. We have been called out by God to be different and not to live as the rest of the world does.
Please make a effort to speak about this. We are the Body of Christ and we need to share and learn from each other. Amen Pax Carl

Joy in the Lord
Joy in the Lord What a wonderful thing that is! Ask yourself? Do I have the Joy that only Jesus gives us?
Here's the few bible verses for Joy Ps.43:4,Ps45:7, John 15:11,John 17:13, 1st Thess.1:6, Gal.5:22, Romans15:13,Romans14:17,Luke10:21
All of these mention Joy which means cheerfulness,calm delight,gladness.
God is our joy and happiness,We are to be set apart with much Joy. To be different from the world,
to have the same joy He had while He was here and in having that same sort of joy as Christ we get to experience it it's fullness and maximum amount. Now being followers of Christ we are to have Joy.
Then being taught by the Holy Spirit produces Joy and the same Holy Spirit gives us fruit of the Spirit which are Joy,Love,Peace,Patience,Kindness,Goodness,Faithfulness,Gentleness,Self-Control.
Trusting God,Jesus from whom all our Hope comes from fills us with Joy,Peace.
Then being filled with Joy gives us reasons to Praise God.
Living in Jesus Christ righteously(being in right-standing) it is what is important in this life not food or drinking or worrying about how God may provide but having Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,Blessed be the name of the Lord and when the Darkness closes in around you Lord I will still say! Blessed be the name of the Lord,Blessed be the name of the Lord
That's what my Heart will say again! Blessed be the name of the Lord.....AMEN

Simple but Righteous
Simple but Righteous
Sometimes it is the smallest things that make us take notice. This morning as I worked in the Scriptures looking up the different verses about Salvation many of them where salvation was spoken about the word Truth was also in the same sentence.
The breakdown for truth in the Hebrew and Greek is truth,true,to verify and being trustworthy,right,stable.
But the word Salvation breaks down to mean Liberty,deliverance,prosperity,safety,to be open,wide,free,and it goes back to a Greek root meaning Deliverer Savior,God or Christ.
Adding all those togethe we get a clearer picture of how Jesus saves us from Hell and Damnation because we are free,delivered,safe in the arms of Christ having been verified as sons and daughters of God, being stable in God,In right standing with God ,having the liberty to worship and thank Jesus and give God the prasie for His Son's sacfrice and full payment for all of our sins. Hallelujah, Praise God for His Mercy.

There is Heaven and there is Hell both real -updated3/1/2012
GOOD DAY You believe the Bible to be God's Holy inspired Words and everything written was given to men by God so we could understand His plan for us and that we would have a guideline in how to live our lives in following Jesus. YES!
As the Bible speaks of Heaven it also speaks of hell.Now Hell is a real place.In the Greek Hell is at the bottom and it is like a gorge or valley with steep sides where you can't climb out of and a lake of fire and brimstone,sulphur A place or state of Everlasting punishment,torment and a place of pain,torture and where all the grief is heaped upon you, a place of vexation,being afflicted for eternity never ending.
You all get the picture and Revelation 21:8 tells us who will be there besides the devil and all of the fallen angels and demons that will burn there for ever, eternal ,with no ending.Why would you or anyone want to go there knowing that we can have a choice in where you will spend eternity Heaven or Hell. And just because you don't believe that God has a place like that because how could He have a place of forever torment and it was first created for the devil and his crew and then because we have free will and are lovers of self,pleasure,sin,those who curse and denounce God. They get a ticket to ride the rails to Hell but Jesus gives us a way to derail the train(you and I) from roaring into the last stop at the bottom by His Blood and by His sacrifice Jesus has paid for your ticket into Heaven the abode of God, a place of happiness and power and joy. Sounds much better than Hell.
Pick your ride folks a runaway train to Hell or a sky box seat in God's Home.
What do you have to have a written invite to help you make your choice for Jesus? guess what your invite is called the Bible and your admission price has been paid by the Blood of the Lamb Jesus did that for you and I and He waits for your decision. Only thing you must do is be born-again,ask Jesus into your soul and life and then tell someone I expect that many will scoff at these words but the Day of the Lord is coming and Woe to you whom don't know Jesus. The Lake awaits and it ain't going to be like Lake Geneva Nope No way it will be a very painful and eternally everlasting place of torment and pain beyond any human understanding. So make your choice Stand up and be counted for God!
Rev.21:8 But cowards the timid,faithless,fearful who turn away from God and the unbelievers, disbelieving, those w/o Christian faith,untrustworthy and the corrupt abominable,detestable persons,ones that God is disgusted with also the murderers those who have killed another with intent,criminal homicide,assassins and the sexually immoral,prostitutes male and female,pornographers,one who is sexually or morally unrestrained and those who practice witchcraft,sorcerers,into the occult,someone who deals and uses drugs,makes potions or enchantments and idol worshipers,someone who worships a person,place,thing as their object of religious homage,someone who worships a heathen God and all liars,wicked,deceitful,untrue,those who utter a lie and attempt to lead astray ,wander away from the straight path,to seduce, false prophets,false teachers, a inspired speaker who preaches a doctrine of erroneous Christian ways and one who loves unrighteousness and immorality.Their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second Death. Amen Pax Carl
I would like to add this statement to my blog it is this when I read the bible I also have a concordance handy and when I copy the verse or verse's onto the blog I add all the meanings for the words example:cowards break down to timid,faithless fearful. enjoy your day. Pax Carl

Spiritual Warfare
We as Christians we must embrace the complete message that God's Holy Word shows us. And one area that I believe a lot of us are very weak in is the Spiritual realm. We walk around and we understand about Jesus and the Good news he taught about and we understand the story of how God created the whole earth but when it comes to doing battle, and dealing with the evil forces that are against us we lack or shy away from direct contact,or talking,teaching and really going out into the world and kicking some dragon butt and taking names.
We can read in Daniel10:13 How Daniel's Prayers were heard and Michael the archangel did battle against the king of Persia which was another way of saying the evil one was trying to stop Daniel's answer to be heard.With the knowledge of how Jesus taught and preached and showed people in parables and just by doing maricles before many.
We have been given a commiosn to do the same and more because we have that authority thru Jesus Christ and as Paul writes in (Eph 6:12 [NET])
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
In this we should take comfort and a stand to be firm in our resolve to not take any attacks lightly from the evil one we need to strenghten our defenses and become more aware.Get your radar in focus!
If a soldier goes into a fire fight w/o having all the knowledge he needs to fight back and how to use his weapons he will be wouned or killed by the enemy. So with that understanding in your heart the whole Bible is our place to become educated and taught of how to deal with any situation in our current life.
We as Christians can no longer walk around with blinders on and say too each other that this world is just fine. NO Way look around more and more sin,evil,and more horrors occur each day from natural disasters and more people going off the deep end each day, you say it's not that bad.
Wake up and put on the whole amour of God and draw your swords and get too swinging and destory the strongholds of the devil and all of his powers,principalities because you and I have the authority by the Blood of Jesus. IT'S TIME To GET SOME!

Is it Live or is it Memorex?
(1Pet 2:15 [NET])
For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
(1Pet 2:16 [NET])
Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.
For G3754 so G3779 is G2076 the will G2307 of God G2316, that with well
doing G15 ye may put to silence G5392 the ignorance G56 of foolish G878

Pain
Hello It's been a busy week so far many new things but one of the better items on my list was being able to swim. Yeah! haven't been able to swim since 9/9/11.I loved it.
Now what is Pain? We all understand hitting our thumb with a hammer pain that's easy. But Pain from how the written word of God explains it:
The Bible has many different words to express what Pain is. Hebrew and Greek says Pain is Anguish,Sorrow,Affliction,Grief,Hurt,Anger,Wrath,Indignation,Wounded,Plagued,Sore,Stripe.Suffering, To make Sad, Fettered And Many times God's Word speaks of Pain being like childbirth. Wow! How many of us have felt any or all of these feelings at one time or another in our lives,How many of them came at us not one at a time but groups attacking us and trying to beat us down.
Pain from loss,Pain from injury,Pain from neglect and pain from abuse it all is there in our hearts and we can be lifted up from our pit of pain and reach out to Jesus whom bore our pain,God's wrath and by His Stripes we are Healed. We can become UN-fettered from the chains that bind us. Jesus's Blood was shed for you and me.
So today as many of us start our day with pain ( as I do each day)Both You and I can trust in Jesus to help us function and know that we can be happy that God has a plan of redemption for each of us.

What is Faith?
We all seek it ,we all think about it but how many of us understand it? Very few I believe. Jesus taught about Faith. we all know Heb.11:1 and the bible speaks of Faith
(Heb 11:1 [NET])
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.
Faith/ goes back to Greek as To rely on,assurance,belief,to convince
Being sure/Substance/ Concrete assurance,having confidence, setting under having support
Hope for/ to expect,to trust,to anticipate with pleasure
Evidence being convinced/ Proof,conviction
Things-what/deeds ,ideas,business matters
Seen/ To look at, perceive
With all that in your mind remember Peter and how he was around Jesus.
The story about when Jesus walked to their boat one nite and all the guys freaked out and thought Jesus was a ghost and Jesus reassured them that he was real and in the flesh and then He called
Peter and Peter did it and as he walked to Him he began to sink into the water and Peter cried out for Jesus and Jesus didn't push Peter away but reached out and grabbed his hand and they walked back to the boat together and climbed in.
So REJOICE,REJOICE we have a way of salvation.
take care and enjoy your day.

God's truth
Good Morning to you! Today is a great day.
I would like to share today. At our church NLCC in Woodstock,IL. Pastor Scott has started a men's group called "Ironmen." which is very right for these trying times. As men we should be guiding our families in the paths of wisdom by example and to share Jesus Christ whom lives in us. As men we need to be held accountable to God First, then to our families and then to ourselves.
With all that in mind Proverbs 27:17 is the verse that explains a bit about men being men.
"Iron Sharpens Iron so a man sharpens the countenance of His Friend." You may go Huh,or what does that mean?
Breaking it down to the Hebrew root words it becomes better understood.
Iron = Any cutting edge,like a Ax-head.
Sharpens = To be made sharp,to be fierce,to be severe
Man = Husband,Champion,Good man, Fellow,Steward
Countenance = The part that turns,Face,appears,battle,anger
Friend = Associate,Brother,Companion,Husband,Lover,Neighbor
Brothers in Christ!WAKE UP! Take a hold of your birthright to be real men. We are to watch out for each other as Christian men ,to not lose our edge,Integrity ,accountability ,responsibility and looking deep into yourselves and being honest and then making a commitment to be aware of our actions and to control or channel our emotions and behaviors to become examples of real men in our homes, our Jobs,or schools as God's Holy Word shows us.
That in being a biblical man we become the see thru man and in having fierceness we can channel our ways closer to God's ideas of living and being children of God that entails daily work in bible reading and in studying and learning everything that the Bible speaks to us.
What we have to do is apply what God says and when you do that many things happen. You instantly become aware of changes you may need to do in your life,you want to change and you hunger for communion with Jesus,You Pray, trusting in Jesus for every thing. Walk by Faith and being Filled with the Holy Spirit.

On Fire for Christ
This is going to be more of a personal note to you all instead of bible verse's.
The past few days I have been praying in tongues and studying God's word and I find it very exciting to say to those out there that think becoming a Christian means you become some sort of boring,bland type of person.Well I can say with every bit of me that that is just a lie from the enemy to keep some away from being saved.
My life has changed so dramatically in these past 12 months it is amazing,wild and certainly never boring or bland, I can say that walking with Christ has opened my heart,mind and soul to the unlimited possibility's that await both Laura & I .
Yes being Christian comes with guidelines but these"rules" as some may say are not a burden and walking with Christ is not a heavy yoke to bear.
Yes we are changed! To be different,to be examples,to live in a way that goes against the world's views and immoral ways. That's OK by me because the rewards here and now and those that await us in Heaven are worth it and that is what has been revealed to Laura & I.
I will say many of the things I used to do were not good.The time I wasted on TV shows that were mindless dribble and the way words came out of my mouth were garbage.But because of Jesus I asked myself would Jesus sit down with me and watch some of the TV shows that I used to watch or would He talk with people using slang and F-bombs all the time? Well I got a big fat NO! to those questions.
But you say Carl what ever do you do with your free time now?
Here's the fun part! I enjoy doing life things that are positive and uplifting things that make my soul sing,sing to Jesus the joys of being one of His and knowing it in a way that will never be shaken or taken from me.Each day I study The Word of God and the Bible has become alive with all the passages,books,parables that really are alive in me. I wake up and see God's creation with crisp,clean outlook and I know I am LOVED by Jesus and I am Loved by A Godly,righteous woman that God had waiting for me when it was His time for us to meet.Jesus will fill up your day and He will fill your life to overflowing abundantly, poured out where you cannot contain it. have a great day Pax CH

I enjoy doing life things that are positive and uplifting things that make my soul sing,sing to Jesus the joys of being one of His and knowing it in a way that will never be shaken or taken from me.Each day I study The Word of God and the Bible has become alive with all the passages,books,parables that really are alive in me. I wake up and see God's creation with crisp,clean outlook and I know I am LOVED by Jesus and I am Loved by A Godly,righteous woman that God had waiting for me when it was His time for us to meet.Jesus will fill up your day and He will fill your life to overflowing abundantly, poured out where you cannot contain it. have a great day Pax CH

Praise's to God UPDATE 1
UPDATE: @ 1630 hrs I received a call from a dear friend who has been delivered from a struggle, and a situation that was defeating His soul. My friend has been dealing with this event for many months and Jesus was able to use me and Laura my wife to assist him,Pray with him and help him in this situation. sometimes multiple times in a day. He would call us or email us for needed strengh and encouragement,comfort and prayer. Jesus heard our prayers Amen.
I am rejoicing that he has been delivered and he has been restored to where God wants him to be and that I have never see,heard this man be so animated and happy. He has become a renewed creature in Christ Jesus. Halleluiah, GLORY BE THE GREAT GOD JEHOVAH Thank you Jesus for your tender mercies.

seek ye first clearer part 1
The beatitudes as we know them as Jesus gave us examples on how not to be or be. Don't.be like those who are unsaved, not knowing Jesus. I know I did bounce around a bit and tried to cover many points but I wanted you all to read Matthew 5 - 6 for yourselves and come to the understanding that Jesus is the only way to the Father whom lives in Heaven and in order for us to be there with Him we must be saved. And down here on earth amongst all the world throws at us it is hard to be strong and bold for Christ. Trusting Jesus is about not worrying about how,why,what or where will we live or what will I eat,wear,what will my life be like and if you become consumed by anxiousness and strife you lose your focus on Christ. And if you don't know Jesus I showed what the bible says about salvation. So if any questions are out there share them.Thank You
Seek Ye First!
Sorry folks I was just a bit under the weather these past few days but God has healed me now and I am better. Good morning to all you all.
This morning I wake up and God impresses on me. This verse in Matthew 6:33
Matthew 6: 33 But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Jesus was preaching,teaching to a multitude of people which breaks down to a throng, a company of people I believe that were too many to count.
Jesus laid out in easy to understand ways simple guidelines of how christian folks are to be in every facet of our lives, from personal,business relationships and how to Pray,how to witness to the world and how to be concerned about our daily bread.
He starts out by saying we are Blessed in Greek which means to be fortunate,well off,happier, and to be supremely blessed and after being blessed we are to be rejoicing,to jump for joy being cheerful,calmly happy,to become exceeding glad. What does that make you think of? It makes me think as a child how I would react about Christmas and the giving and Getting of gifts and when I would open the one gift that I really wanted. I did jump for joy, be exceeding glad bursting at the seams. That's how we are to be about Jesus as one of His.
Now being followers of Jesus Christ and believers Jesus tells us where are rewards are not here on earth but our rewards are great and they await us in Heaven.
We are admonished to be like salt to have wisdom.having sound judgement, and be prudence in our lives and if we don't live that way we will lose our savor,to act as if we are simpletons, we lose our edge. Proverbs 10:10 we are held to be accountable
Our Lord and Savior speaks of us as Christians we are Lights to be like fire, to shine brilliantly, to not hide ourselves from providing ourselves as witness's of the Power of the Blood of the Lamb.
and we get then to the meat of Jesus's message "seek ye first" and all of the things mentioned in chapters Matthew 5 and Matthew 6 will be given unto you , fellow believers in Jesus Christ.
So if you have read all this and looked into Matthew you might ask yourself.
How do I become a follower of Jesus? What must I speak or how much do I paid for this?
It is the easiest thing to do it costs you nothing because Jesus has paid the price.and you don't need fancy or big words and you don't need to be in a church to do it.
ALL you need to do is tell Jesus that you are a sinner and that w/o Jesus you are going to hell and the Blood Jesus shed for you has brought your soul and in asking Jesus into your life,heart,mind,soul you become "A new creation in Christ Jesus and old ways your old sin nature has been removed."2nd Corinthians 5:17
Then tell someone,leave a note to me, call your Mom, talk to a Pastor of a Bible-believing church that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and be jumping for joy for your name is now written in the Book of Life in Heaven. Right now Angels are rejoicing, Jumping for joy that one of you have accepted Jesus.
AMEN Hallelujah Jehovah my God
Have a great day everyone!
