CURSING CANCERS AND SAVING LIVES

CURSING CANCERS AND SAVING LIVES

God hates cancer like we do. He is a Loving God and proved it by allowing Jesus to be flailed by the Romans using a scourge. Few seem to preach on the scriptures in Isaiah 53 and First Peter 2, “By His stripes are we healed.“ Isn’t it time we start hearing of the Lord’s passion more than just on or around Easter? You bet, and when we do, there’ll be more testimonies of God’s healing of His children. Why do folks think God owes them anything including to heal them when they’ve rejected the gift of eternal life? I blame it on religion. Have you ever been to a funeral and where someone asked the folks to pray “The Lord’s Prayer”? I have, for few are saved. It’s responsible for keeping folks lost in their sins. If you doubt me read on.

There isn’t anyway God is going to adopt us and add us to His family until we repent of our sins and accept His forgiveness after confessing them. We aren’t saved by simply saying, “Save me Lord.” If we say it the Holy Spirit will begin the process. For instance, one criminal on his cross dying next to Jesus repented first. Jesus was listening to see if the other man would also repent [admit his guilt] but his heart was so hard he couldn’t.

I met folks in a jail ministry that would make granite look like a marshmallow. Some had killed and raped without remorse. Each time they committed a crime it was as if another layer of hardness was added. Did you know that most folks in jail are repeat offenders? Some have “rap sheets” a mile long. I will never say they couldn’t be saved for some have and I’ve met some people who would make a pirate look like a preacher.

All prisons are cancerous. Death is everywhere and in some cases inmates especially the older prisoners will go to “unmarked” graves with no one weeping for them. Did you know Jesus said, “When I was hungry, did you feed Me? When I was thirsty, did you give Me drink? When I was naked did you clothe Me? When I was sick or imprisoned, did you visit Me? When I was a stranger, did you invite Me in?” He asked these questions in Matthew 25 the most important chapter in the Bible in my opinion.

It’s vital we read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Word of God for when we do Jesus can use us to curse cancers as if standing in our shoes. We must remember, Jesus came to bring life and He gave it to those who came to Him. Not everyone did for we see in the Scriptures the Sanhedrin condemned Jesus and asked Pontius Pilot to kill Him.

We must see that cancer is the work of the devil. He had infected the religious leaders with hate [all hate is a cancer] for the Savior of the World.

We need to confront hate when we see it or in some cases inside us. If you’ve ever met someone filled with hate you can see the devil. If hate is left unchecked it can lead to murder. Do you remember Cain killing Able?

There is only one cure for hate and that’s a surrendered life to Christ. Jesus loves unconditionally and once He’s inside us we can’t hate folks anymore. I had great reason to hate the murderers who blew my brother to bits with a bomb. Their hatefulness left his wife and four children without a dad who loved them and provided for them. For a very long time I harbored anger but when I surrendered my life to Christ it wasn’t long before I was asking the Lord to bring them to repentance.

What happened is the Bible became my food. I learned reading that God had said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” I could see that any action I might take against them [I had an opportunity one day] would ruin my life.

They deserved hell, but I do too. My sins, even though no where as horrible as theirs, was more than enough for God to condemn and sentence me to a hell. Did you know even one sin is enough? “The wages of sin is death.”

Only one thing can remove our sins, the Blood of Jesus.“ God will not apply it to anyone until they come repentant to Him. If we should try any other way we will remain lost. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He alone is the Door. Please come to Him today and avoid the cancers that can destroy you.

If you should be infected with cancer curse it in the Name of Jesus and rest while He removes it. Don’t wait until a doctor is operating on you. Please bless the Lord for doctors trained to treat cancers for some folks won’t come to the Lord repentant. Let’s tell them about Jesus today, OK?

DID THE STORK DROP YOU


DID THE STORK DROP YOU

Good Heaven’s no, you didn’t fall from the sky you are God’s idea and before you argue with me, allow me to tell you how I know. When your mom and dad came together in intimacy two very tiny beings were united. At once God, using His mighty talents, began to knit you together. He used parts of your mom and dad which were contained in the egg and sperm to do it. As He worked He decided to bring you into His world as a boy or girl. He also endowed you with many gifts, talents and abilities unique to you alone. For instance, how many Einstein’s do you believe God made? One, and just like him, you’re special too.

As He made you He kept saying how much He loved you and has proven it by giving you “special” fingerprints. If you and I knew just how much He loved us, we would be so different. When God created us He said, “I’m going to make you in my image”. Some don’t understand this so allow me to explain what I believe He was saying, “I‘m giving man and woman creative minds which are so creative, I’m typing this message on a lap top computer using a writing program that boggles my mind. I have very little understanding how electricity works except I know it works “if “ I’ve my plugged my device into a socket where it’s available. I also know it can hurt me for I’ve been shocked a number of times. My dad nearly lost his life two different times from electrical shock.

God was with him each time and both of his rescuers were told by the Lord to go and save him. Jesus was told by God to come to earth and save our lives too. You and I like everyone else have rebelled against God and He calls it sin. Sin is the most awful thing on earth, the “fruit” of it is death. God hates sin more than anything else. You and I are polluted and must be cleansed or our filthiness will prevent our living with God forever.

Unless you are living on an island somewhere I would bet you’ve heard the Gospel message many times. Some folks turned it off due to it being couched in religion, and I don’t blame them. God said He made the Gospel simple to confound the wise and you can bet your home those trying to induce you to their brand of religion are not stupid. Billions have been deceived and if you are one of them, this is your ticket to freedom. Jesus said that there are two commandments, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. Love your neighbor as you do yourself.” He added, “Upon these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Man is very creative in making ways to worship God too. Some of it is led by the Holy Spirit and when we are engaged in it our lives are enriched. If you and I are worshipping God and nothing is happening to us we need to meet Jesus. He is always hanging out at the cross where He gives us an understanding as to the level of abuse He suffered for mankind. Years ago the Lord allowed me to see Him crucified in a vision. The two women I was ministering to had our life’s changed forever. As I shared what I was seeing with them tears poured from our eyes. Afterwards, I stood up hugged them and left the room fully in love with Jesus.

If you’re not in love with Him, go and ask to see Him crucified. You’ll never be the same. The movie “The Passion of the Christ” is priceless for it depicts scourging like it was done by the Romans. The beating was so vicious Jesus barely made it to Golgotha where he died. If you refuse to go you will miss out on what God has for you, relationship wise. We who’ve been forgiven much, love much just as Jesus said. If you don’t feel forgiven there is a very good chance you haven’t been. In this state you are in grave danger, no pun intended. We are forgiven when we repent, turn from our sinful life and tell God how we feel that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross.

God wants us to believe, really believe on Jesus. If you miss out on the facts of Who He Is, how in the world can you believe He is God? Wasn’t He born to a virgin and lived a perfect life or else He couldn’t be the Lamb sacrificed for us? Wasn’t He raised from the dead by God ensuring that, we who believe on Him, will be raised on the last day? We must confess Him as our Lord, not just Savior. Of course He’s our Savior, but we will know that on the day we’re judged. Right now, it’s an honor to be one of His servants. Look at Ephesians 2:10 and you can see it. I’ve used this verse over 30 years now in a daily commitment to serve Him.

You can begin today. Will you?

MORTALS AND IMMORTALS

MORTALS AND IMMORTALS

Folks, I hate to tell you this but if Jesus tarries all of us will one day die a physical death. Most don’t care to think about it much less talk about the time when their family and loved ones grieve over their passing. Well lets be mature for a moment and accept the fact it’s coming to us and we can prepare for it. Some do this by buying insurance policies that can “protect” the family. Or, will seek an attorney to get their house in order with a will or other legal papers to protect and direct the disbursements they have acquired. All of these things are good and admirable but they all pale in comparison to getting themselves ready to face Jesus.

There isn’t anything more hurtful to us than to be ensnared by religion. I define it as “man made laws and rules”. The one true religion in my opinion is Judaism. It’s a religion but one instituted by God Himself. If you’re familiar with the Old Testament you can see how He did it. Basically He chose a man who believed Him. Abram was sent to see the land where His descendants would later replace the folks living there. Today we call it Israel. God gave Moses the Commandments for living in a right relationship with Himself and with man. They were so good He chipped them in stone for them. The problem came later on when men, the religious leaders, added thousands of rules to the basic 10.

With all this said please allow me to help you escape from religion, and trust me, we all have some of it inside us. There is only one way to do it and that’s to be born again of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Once we receive Him by faith our relationship with God changes instantly. Instead of being viewed as sinners deserving death [the wages of sin is death] He gives us His Spirit. Jesus said it best when speaking to Mary and Martha at the death of their brother Lazarus. As they grieved at the grave site Jesus revealed a great truth. “I Am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me, even if he die yet shall he live. Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.”

All at once we become immortals or those who will live in God’s presence forever. Those who refuse to repent and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus will die twice. God calls the people cast into hell having another death. Think about it, can anyone trapped forever in a lake of fire be “living”? I don’t think so. It’s the reason I work daily to try and reveal Jesus so He can save the lost. I’ve tried to save folks for a very long time and haven’t saved one yet. He can do it in a single heart beat. When we are saved by Him, angels rejoice in Heaven. The worse we are the Bible says, the greater is the rejoicing. I’m approaching my 73rd birthday in July. I’ve met folks so bad that I wouldn’t want to pour water on them if they were on fire but Jesus saved them when they repented. This blows my mind until I remember just how bad I was myself. Don’t ask me to tell you my sinful past for I won’t. God not only forgave me on May 23rd in 1971 but had the record of my sins erased from The Books to be opened on Judgment Day. He then took the blackness of the erasure and cast it away as far as “east is from the west”. Then to top that off He said, “I will remember these sins no more.“

Do you know He is doing that as I write? All over the world folks are coming under conviction of their sins and are repenting. I can see angels in constant worship of God for His Mercy. Most of us know it as Amazing Grace. If you’ve received it you know exactly what I mean. If you haven’t “yet” I believe you are a mortal and in “mortal danger“.

For nearly 33 years I was very active in my church, but trust me again, I didn’t know Jesus and He didn’t know me “intimately”. When we become “born again“ it changes our relationship like a man “knowing” his wife on their honeymoon. When Jesus entered my heart I “experienced“ a release of guilt and was filled with joy. Never had I felt so good in my life. That same night He baptized me in His Holy Spirit and I haven‘t stopped witnessing since then.

Will you live in Heaven with the Lord? No one can help you make the decision. Just take Him at His Word. He loves you as much as anyone on the earth. He died for you painfully with your sins upon Him. It boils down to how do you feel about it? Do you care? Do you really care? If you do tell Him. Turn from your sinful lifestyle and receive Jesus inside you by faith. Once you’ve done this it is now your responsibility to tell others so they too can become one of the Lord’s immortals. Will you do it?
