I read about people who kill others, because they have “gods” that they need to defend... What kind of crappy gods are these? A god that can't defend himself, is not a god worth praying to! "Put him on a plane".

Jehova the Creator (th God of the Bible, and the ONLY God), on the other hand, is mighty. He can raise the dead, defend Israel (the apple of His eye) and heal the sick. I see His wonders every week, as I pray with people in and outside of the church. God loves everybody, you are just as important as everybody else! Don't let anybody tell you differently.

Not all of us are supposed to be BIG preachers. Some of us have smaller things to do, but we are all important! There is so much we can do, carry bags for old people, open doors, bless people in different ways and tell people about the love of God. It is also important that we tell all our friends about Jesus, the only door to Heaven. Think about it, some of your friends who don't know Christ, will be angry with you when they have died, and end up in Hell, just because you never told them about Jesus... I know it might be hard to tell people about Christ in the beginning, but it get's easy, the more you do it.

Peace,

Some people think that they are in the right, just because the gifts of the Spirit are working in their lives. It isn't neccessarily so! Since the gifts of God are irrevocable, they can also easily be misused. Romans:11:29.

Some who have false motivs, can misuse the gifts of the Holy Spirit, for their own lewd agenda. Some are like parrots, they preach what they have heard other preachers preach, but their hearts are not in it. When that happens it.s like listening to a clinging cymbal, noise but no substance.

1Cr 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

Others are in the ministry for money, others for power. Who knows how many dirty, rotten reasons people might have, since we all are rotten to the core! Anyone who disagrees with me that we are all rotten to the core, is a proud person, that is equally disgusting! Soli Deo Gloria!

God should have all the Glory for His mighty acts!

I hope that God watches over me, so that I never go crazy when miracles happen through me. We are only drainpipes for God's Spirit. The miracles have nothing to do with us! We have only made ourselves available to the Lord, through Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit is the one who does all the work, that is why God should have ALL the Glory!

Peace,

Mark Knopfler, flesh and blood? Some people rap about the blood and flesh of Jesus, as if it has something to do with satanic rituals. These people read the Bible, the same way a kid reads a comic. In other words, without thinking!

Jesus is the bread of life!

Even Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) knows that according to the Hebrew language: bread means, not only bread, but all kinds of food, clothing, shelter, gasoline and even spiritual needs. He sings about some of it on his CD, Sailing to Philadelphia!

To chew the flesh of Christ means in hebrew: to break the Word of God (the Bible) into small pieces, study, discuss, and meditate on it. (Jr 15:16, Jn 1:14)

To drink the blood of Christ mean means in Hebrew, to swallow, digest the Word of God, translating it into changes in behavior.

Since ancient times rabbis have used wine to express convenant, with wine representing blood. It's the same in many countries, I've seen it myself during my travels around the world.

When I was a kid, a friend of mine and I, slit our wrists and became blood brothers, a silly and dangerous thing to do, but hey, we were just stupid kids inspired by grown ups. That was luckily, way before the homosexuals introduced AIDS into our society in the early 80’s.

I have broken this covenant (curse) later in life.
