Plunder Of War.

Greetings. Today we will look at the Plunders of War. Whether you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are the result of a plunder of war. To better understand this concept, let's look at what happened at Salvation--

1-Jesus is the word and seed. (John 1;1,14, Luke 8:11)

2- Jesus's death brought reconciliation and Salvation to the world. ( Ps 2:8, 2 Cor 5:18-19) We were his plunders of war. 

3- It's up to us to accept his gift of Salvation. We need to confess and receive Him as Lord.  (Rom 10:8-10) Failure to do so means rejecting his gift, making us an enemy of the Lord, and condemning us to a destiny of Hell and a Lake of Fire. In Middle Eastern culture, rejecting a gift was an offense and would create enmity. 

4- Deut 20:13-14 and Deut 21:10-14 illustrates the beautiful process of Salvation. In battle, Women would be treated with respect as POWs. Many would get married and enjoy the benefits of that covenant. Please take some time to listen to the following links for more on this exciting topic. God bless.

Time

          

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;                                                                       Ecc 3:1-2

In this study, I want to focus on verse 2 that says a time to be born and a time to die. Concerning a time to be born, let's look at the birth of a child. The birth of a child is a happy occasion. Usually, when a baby comes into this world. It's a time of festivities, a time of rejoicing. Everyone is happy.

A time to die. Death is associated with sadness, loss, and grieving. We have homecoming funerals for the Christian believer, but that does not alleviate the sad feelings of joy. It leads to broken hearts, wounded emotions and great sadness. Some people never recover from a loss of a loved one.

I want to address the subject of having a long life. God wants us to have a long life. We don't have to walk in uncertainly or fear. Please join us and find out how God wants to bless us. Click the link below. God bless.

Be ready-Part 2

My wife Terry continues with her study about being ready. Matt 8:7-8 shows us the readiness of Jesus willing to go to the Roman Centurion's house to heal his servant. In verse 8, he tells Jesus to just speak the word and his servant shall be healed. We all know the end of the story. His faith got his servant healed, and Jesus marveled at this miracle.

My wife and I are grandparents. Our grandchildren live in Texas. If God forbid, one of our grandchildren gets sick, she can't just get on an airplane and go to Texas and lay hands on them. All she could do is pray for them over the phone. They know that Grandma is going to pray and things are going to happen.

Why? Because his promises are always yea and amen. (2 Cor 1:20) These and many other examples are in today's podcast. Please join us. We would be honored to have you join our study by clicking on the link below. God bless.

Be Ready-Part 1

 

                                  

2 Tim 4:2 says-- Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.  

 

The first thing is to preach the word. We should be ready to share the word with others. Being ready is a necessity because you never know who could cross your path. We should always preach the word and bring correction if necessary.

 

The preaching of the word should not be the sole duty of your Pastor. You are the hands and feet of your church. You need to be ready to bring forth the word. We all have a part in bringing forth the great commission.  

Being in the word is important. In life, we have unexpected situations. We need to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will often bring forth a change of plans in our lives.

We need to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We would be honored if you would join us. Please click on the link below. There is a lot that God wants to share with us through Pastor Terry's teaching of the word. God bless.
