Kiss the Son

Please watch this very short YouTube video. A simple message from Psalm 2:12 that says "Kiss the Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way". Click the linked word below Kiss the Son. Thank you for watching Kiss the Son Psalm 2 Amplified Bible (AMP) The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed. 2 Why are the [a]nations in an [b]uproar [in turmoil against God], And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand; And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying, 3 “Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint] And cast away their cords [of control] from us.” 4 He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion]; The [Sovereign] [c]Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. 5 Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger And terrify them with His displeasure, saying, 6 “Yet as fo...

The Need for Jesus (In Memory of Maria L. Navarro)

The Need for Jesus (In memory of Maria L. Navarro April 30, 1960-June 3, 2016) We are reading from the book of first California chapter 15. What I meant is first Corinthians 15. Actually I mean both. The settings are almost similar. Everything and anything goes here. Paul is writing to the church. “Now brothers and sisters, let me remind you [once again] of the good news [of salvation] which I preached to you, which you welcomed and accepted and on which you stand [by faith]. 2 By this faith you are saved [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain [just superficially and without complete commitment]. 3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold], 4 and that He was buried, and that He was [bodily] raised on the third day according to [that which] the S...

Peace in Prison

Peace in Prison What do you do or think if you're in prison waiting for trial and a sentencing of up to life imprisonment with hard labor or even death? Your crime is being a missionary and you are caught in communist North Korea and it is 2012 and not 2000 years ago. We can read it regarding Apostle Paul but what about 3 years ago? Let me introduce you to Kenneth Bae. He is an American missionary who was jailed for over two years in North Korea because he forgot to remove a portable hard drive from his bag. I will let you listen to his testimony and here is the link. https://vimeo.com/167680426 One thing that stuck with me about Bae is when the Holy Spirit spoke to him and reminded him that He is with him and never to fear. Is that where you are right now? Are you in your own prison of circumstances and you think there is no exit? Can you trust the whisper of the Holy Spirit? He is with you and me. As we come almost to the end of our study of Paul's Epistle to the Ph...

What I Think - True, Honorable, Right, Pure and Excellent

What I Think – True, Honorable, Right, Pure and Excellent What am I thinking? We often ask ourselves. Or we ask another. What were you thinking? Are you crazy? Sometimes we don’t even know what we are thinking and how we got to what we are thinking. Already confused of what you are thinking and what you think and I am asking you think? Listen to the Holy Spirit thru Apostle Paul on what to think and how to think (consider, ponder, dwell-on). The result of right thinking is our full experience of God’s presence as the God of peace in all circumstances. Keep in mind our heavenly citizenship and our names are in the Book of Life, THEREFORE: 8 Finally, [b]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [...

The Lord is Coming Soon. So What?

The Lord is Coming Soon Many in the Church and outside are more worried and concerned about who will be the next President of America than the impending return of Jesus Christ as Lord, King and Judge of the whole world. People are petrified of either Trump or Hillary winning in November than any thought of the consequences of Christ’s return. Where are you on the spectrum? Are you eagerly waiting for Jesus or eagerly waiting for your favorite candidate to win? More worried about the November election than understanding your “election” as a child of God? Some will spend hours debating the merits of Trump or Hillary and will never spend a minute on who Jesus is to another. Can we channel those same passions for Christ? If not it reveals something about the state of our hearts - cold, lukewarm or hot. Where are you with Jesus- cold lukewarm or hot? Let’s turn the debate around and use the time to ask people to “elect” God into their hearts. Better, help them see Jesus who has “ele...

Are You Stinking Thinking?

Are you Stinking Thinking? The Bible has a lot to say about how and what we think of and the consequent results of our thinking. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee”. Proverbs 23:7. “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall”. 1 Cor 10:12. “(Love) doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 2 Cor. 13:5. “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 1 Cor. 8:2. “For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself”. Galatians 6:3. “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless”. James 1:26 God also thinks so we are being encouraged to think the way He does. He His thoughts of us are good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11). “But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upo...

Wake Up America and Pray

Wake Up America and Pray May 5, 2016 is National Day of Prayer. The “theme for 2016 is Wake Up America, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to the God of our Fathers in reverence for His Holy Name. To further highlight our theme, we’ve chosen Isaiah 58:1a as our Scripture for this year: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.” Satan does not care how much you know about prayer and but He flees when you and I pray and run to our Abba Father. So let us pray along with Dr. Tony Evans: “Dear heavenly Father, we come to You today as a humble people desperate for Your supernatural intervention on behalf of our beloved nation. First, we thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed on our land, blessings that have allowed us to bring so much good and benefit to not only our own citizens but also to the rest of the world. The very ideals upon which this country was founded were based on biblical truths, no mat...
