To Tell or not to tell

When is it right to NOT tell someone that they are really ill? Are you trying to protect them or are you trying to control them? Is it really ok not to tell someone that they have cancer? Then the next question should be WHEN do you tell them?
  I believe that the person who has Cancer should be told as soon as possible so they wil have a fighting chance. I wonder sometimes if people are scared of what might happen. Do they think that their loved one will not want to live? Do they think that their loved one might kill themself? I believe that all of those thougths cross peoples minds and more than once or twice.
   How can God get the glory of HEALING someone with cancer if they are not diagnoised and treatment started? ONLY God can heal. he heals through Doctors and Surgeons, but it is really God who heals.
  Let the Lord heal your soul. Sin is like cancer. It will eat away your soul if you do not cut it out of your life. The only way to cut it out of your life is to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sin and to cleanse you as white as snow.
  It is truely something where you can take something RED to change the color of something BLACK to WHITE. That is what happens when Jesus cleans you. It is by His Blood that you are made whole. Don't let the sin eat away your soul. Go to the Great Physician Jesus Christ.... your appointment is now...the Holy Ghost is calling your name, waiting for you to answer "Here am I"

Like Roaring Lion...BEWARE!

March sure has come in like a lion. The Word tells us that satan is like a roaring lion who is walking about the earth looking for people he can destroy with sin. Satan's "life"s mission is to take with him as many people as he can to hell.When God asked him what he had been up to he replied...."Walking up and down the earth". This means that he CANNOT be everywhere at the same time like God can. Satan is a CREATED being. He was brought into being by God the Father. He was the most beautiful angel ever made. His name even means "Morning Light". This beautifulness became sinfulness for Lucifer. He let pride into his ...for a lack of a better word....into his life. That pride developed into hatred for his creator God. He wanted everything that was given to God. he wanted the praise, the worship and the power of God and he intended to take it from God.
   We are told that God cast Satan and his followers from heaven down to the earth. here is where they live. Contrary to a lot of belief , they are NOT in hell yet. Because Satan said theat he was "walking to and fro uoin the face of the earth." I believe that there is a place that he has carved out as his lair, but it is not hell yet as we would think of it as hell.
  Hell was never intended for human beings. God made hell for Lucifer and his followers as a punishment for their rebellion. The old devil does not want to live there eternally, even though he knows what will happen in the end. He is fighting with all he has to take as many people with him.
   Children of God are his enemies. We are the ones who stand in the gap for our lost loved ones. We are the ones who know how to get ahold of God when we go before Him and pray. It maybe our prayers that keep someone from falling. The devil uses all kinds of things against us...why just Christians....or whay does it seem like it is only Christians who the devil bothers? it is because non-Christian's BELONG to him already. Why would he bother someone who he already has under control?
   Our ONLY hope lies in Jesus Christ. He is our LIGHT, our SALVATION, our HELP in a time of need.  Jesus has conquered the grave. He has broken the chains of darkness that bound us in our sinful nature. Once we give our lives to Jesus, and live for Him, the enemy tries to come in like a flood and destroy what Jesus has given to us. Peace. Life everlasting. A grand inheritance.
  Oh soul, do you know Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior? If you do not, now is the time to ask Him into your life, Ask Him to forgive you of your sin...ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.... Live as if He is coming back in the next breath you take because He just might come back then. We are to look up for His returning at all times.

God is in Control...no matter WHAT!

When things look bleak and dark, that is the time to remember WHO your help is. My church family is going through a lot of trials and tribulations. It seems like one problem is solved and the enemy throws another one at us.
  GOD is in CONTROL! No matter what the enemy tells you. He will keep things messed up if he only gets a chance. BUT I know this one thing. My God is in control.

I Belong the The Lord

I belong to the Lord. How do I know that? Well In Isaiah 43:1-7 it tells me. "Thou art mine", saith the Lord. When He called I answered. He called me out of a sinfilled life. He called me to teach a SUnday School class and then He called me to preach His Word. I answered each one of those calls. I gave my life over to Him. I teach and now I preach His Word.
  He said that when I go through things He will be there. He will keep me. He will notr let the rivers overflow me. Like Job, He will keep my from death. Even if the enemy is out to kill me, steal from me, or even destroy me, GOD will not let him. Job lost everything. Yet he didn't sin. He stayed faithful to the Lord. Paul, had been beaten, stoned and ship wreaked...and more than once. Yet he said that he counts it a blessing.
   God said that the Jewish people would come back from all over the world. And we have seen that happen in 1948 when Israel became a nation. They have had to fight for their land off and on since then but they are a sovereign nation. This is the beginning of the end of time. Jeremiah 23:3 says that Gods remnant will be gathered from all over and that they would increase.
   This can also be looked at as the Rapture of the church. When we think not the trump of God will sound and the dead in Christ will be raised....from the north, the south, the east and the west. the oceans will have to give up her dead. The lost men and women who are missing from a war or kidnapping, if they are saved and ready they will rise up to meet the Lord in the air. And then those of us who are still alive....of Praise the Lord...those of us who are alive and remain...WE shall be caught up together to meet HIM in the air! What a wonderful promise of God.
  God has never lied. If He promised that these things will happen then they will happen. He cannot...no he WILL not break His promises to us. Are you ready to go? If you ae not I am asking you to please ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins. To come in and cleanse you. Then not to stop there but to come into your heart and life and live for Him. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.
