A New Year?
Are we looking at a New Year or the end of our country?
The politicians seem bent on destroying this country,
But than evil has been and is determined to destroy everything GOD has created.
For those who are dedicated to the Lord, who actually listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit have be aware of this.
Whether Trump is good or evil He seems to be the one GOD has chosen for this time.
And to fight against that is to fight against GOD Himself.
Daniel 2:20 - 22
“Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.
It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding.
It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And the light dwells with Him.”

“It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings”
It is He (GOD)
Epochs:
A particular period of history, especially one considered remarkable or noteworthy.
A unit of geologic time that is a division of a period.
An instant in time that is arbitrarily selected as a point of reference for specification of celestial coordinates.
It is GOD Who sets leaders in place for a time
who sets countries in place for a time
and it is GOD who takes them both away.
As Christians it is our responability to live lives dedicated to our Lord Jesus.
If we are living for our self, for our own gain, why should GOD give us more time?
Why should we expect Him to keep putting up with our lack of love for Him?
GOD said in
2Chronicles 7:14
“If My people who are called by My name
humble themselves
and pray
and seek My face
and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Have you humbled yourself before GOD?
Are you praying?
Are you seeking the face of GOD?
Have you turned from your evil ways?
If not, why should GOD listen to your complaint’s?
If you have not obeyed the words of GOD why should you think He will listen to your words?
To the church as a whole:
You, we have nothing to complain about if we are not obeying the word of GOD,
If we do not follow His commandments.
Jesus stated
“if you love Me, You will keep My commandments.”
And He tells us what the greatest and foremost commandments are He did not keep it hidden from us:
Matthew 22:37 - 39
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Do you truly love the Lord your God?
Do you truly love your neighbor?
Want a good New Year?
Then try obeying GOD’s commandments.

Ever been to a birthday party
What is a birthday party for?
Years ago, i was told that birthdays are for celebrating someone’s birth.
Growing up when we would go to someone’s birthday party everyone brought a gift for the person who the party was for and there was cake and ice cream for all.
But only the one who’s birthday it was recived gifts.
December 25, as Christians we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ, our redeemer, God with us.
Rummers are going around that more and more people are not celebrating Christmas this year
but that statement started circulating back in October.
And like with most advertising the week minded fell in line and did not decorate as much.
i think, no i pray this is why;
After the last five years i pray the church community has opened their eyes and see the reality of life,
the reality of a life lived in Christ.
And with that the understanding of what the celebration of Christmas should truly be.
We are supposed to be celebrating the birth of Jesus,
And if that is what we are doing,
Christ our Lord should be the one receiving the gifts from us,
but we as mankind have turned the day in to another day of want, greed and gluten,
and through example teach that to our children.
As a believer in Christ Jesus we should be giving Him the ultimate gift,
The gift that He desires most from each of us.
Jesus said
“if you love Me, keep my commandments”
when asked what is the greatest commandment,
Jesus responded:
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
These gifts are gifts He desires from each of us.
Though the first and for most gift Christ would like to receive from each of us,
Are our lives,
that we would dedicate ourselves to follow His commandment. That we would LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, AND WITH ALL OUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL OUR MIND.’ and that we would LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELF.”
This does not take a lot of decorations,
it takes a heart willing to let go of all worldly concepts and desires,
putting our faith and trust in Him and Him alone,
Not money, people, job, stuff and tings,
No Christ and Him alone.
Figure it out, who are you going to celabrate and serve?
Christ our Lord, or the world (satin) and his ways.
For everyone serves one or the other.
As far as the talk going around about not decorating for Christmas think about this,
the advertisers have already come up with list of most desired things people are buying in 2025, thats right 2025.
their listing stated;
“The top 10 items people are buying in 2025”
looks like the blind leading the blind,
don’t be taken in by the tricks of this world,
find the true meaning of life,
find true life in Christ the Lord the one who’s birthday we say we are celebrating on Christmas day.
And give Him the gift He so deserves, your life, that life that He came to earth in the likens of man to redeem back to a relationship with Father GOD,
He who gave Himself up to sacrificed on a cross so that you may live with Him throughout eternity with Him in the Kingdome of GOD.
Who do you celebrate on Christmas day?
Where do your values lay?
In Christ and Him alone,
or the world and its ways?
Think about it.
and choose this day who's birthday you are celebrate.

In John 15 Jesus tells us how we are to be grafted in to the family of GOD and that He is the vine and we are the branches.
in grafting i have found that the branch grafted will still look the same but the seeds from that branch will not produce the same type of plant it will produce the plant that the branch was grafted in to.
When we except Christ Jesus as our LORD we are grafted in to His life, His family we are grafted in to the family of GOD.
And when we sow seeds (the word of GOD) and it takes root in someone life it will not produce us but rather it will produce the attributes of Christ Jesus our LORD.
It is up to each individual to nurture and allow that seed to grow.
Every vine and every tree to produce fruit should be pruned,
to keep it healthy and producing more fruit.
As for us we need to be pruned of the ways of this world, and the things of this world, our thought and words our ungodly attitudes, the lust of the body, the lust of stuff and things, the sin and lawlessness in our lives.
By being pruned we give a much clearer view of Christ Jesus to others, producing healthier seeds so as we cast them out, (live our lives according to GOD’s word they are more likely to take root in the hearts of mankind.
John 15:1-11
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”
Where are your seeds from?
What kind of seeds are you planting?
Your own?
The worlds?
Or seeds from Christ Jesus the Lord?
I guess the real question is where are you grafted, grafted in to who or what;
The Lord GOD or the world and its ways?

i realize i have not posted in 19 days but then those of you who visit regularly know i do not live on the internet,
and for those who keep asking NO i am not on any social media.
But on with what I have to say;
A few of you have sent me email talking about family and holidays and how sad you feel around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This is my response:
Are you still alive?
Are YOU still alive??
If so,
then cherish every moment with those who you are close to, even those who may not have the best attitude,
or those who may not treat you the way you would like them to.
Realize this;
they may be going through the same feelings.
As some of you know i am one who can set in a room full of people and still be all alone,
Life is fragile,
relationships can be bridal but one thing that keep the heart soft is Love.
This year when friends and family come together give the Lord Jesus the opportunity to shine through you,
through your attitude, eyes, actions and words.
Matthew 22:37
And He said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it,
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Give up, give in and treat those around you with love and dignity,
Be respectful remembering this, you have no more value than they, Christ Jesus hung on that cross for them just as He hung on the cross for you.
Merry Christmas.
Now go love those who persecute you.
They may just need to see Jesus living through you to believe He lives.

1John 2:15-17
¶ Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life,
is not from the Father, but is from the world.
The world is passing away, and also its lusts;
but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
{{{
Rather straight forward.
As believers in Christy Jesus our Lord we are not to love the world nor the things of this world.
But rather we are to love the LORD our GOD.
Reminded me of this
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and riches.
Luke 16:13
“No servant can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and riches.”
Who ore the ones who loves the world?
That would be the ones who gather the stuff and things of the world for their own benefit and sense of value.
The ones who always have to have more, who can’t give to others for fear of being without.
The ones who say I don’t love money, but in reality, for they love the things it can do for them.
We are told “we are not to love the world nor the things of this world.”
No matter what it is;
If you can’t let go of it, you love it.
If you Love the Lord your GOD than grasp hold of Him and His teachings and let go of this world and the things of this world.
Serve the creator not the created.
Love the Lord your GOD, not the world and the things of this world.
Serve one master,
Chose this day whom you will serve.

1John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour;
and just as you heard that antichrist is coming,
even now many antichrists have appeared;
from this we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not really of us;
for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us;
but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and you all know. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth,
but because you do know it,
and because no lie is of the truth.
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father;
the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
As for you,
let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.
If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you;
but as His anointing teaches you about all things,
and is true and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
1John 2:28-29
Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
{{{
many antichrists have appeared, many are in the church today,
who is the antichrist?
the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ,
the one who denies the Father and the Son.
These are the liars.
These are the antichrist, the ones who denies the Father and the Son.
The one who denies one denies the other.
If we are in the word of GOD,
allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us,
we will abide in Christ Jesus and in Father God.
Christ Jesus gives us the promise that if we except Him and abide in Him we will have eternal life,
eternal life in Him and the Father.
As Christ Himself has stated, mankind can not serve two masters,
We each need to choose each day to serve the Lord Christ Jesus.
We are told
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND;”
If this is how you love the Lord your God,
You won’t have space in you to love the world,
or the ways of the world.
And you won’t have time or the opportunity to be taken by the antichrist and its deception.

Psalm 1
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
{{{
The antichrists are among the wicked.
Whom will you choose to walk with,
to stand with,
to set with?
What do you meditate on throughout your day?
Meditate:
What do you contemplate, what do you ponder, what do you allow your mind to entertain? What do you consider, what do you study, what do you look at?
Choose this day whom you will serve.
