All mixed up; nothing has changed

After the scripture reading of a couple of blogs ago 2 Timothy 3:16, I began to read further and that would be chapter 4 and verse 1" Now the Soirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils." I f you read further you will see in verse 10 that it says, " For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. In other places we see that Jesus is identified as the Saviour. Luke 2:11-"For unto you is born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 19:10-"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost/" John 3:17, "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through might be saved." Also you might want to read Acts 5:3, 1 Timothy 1:15, and there are many more similar scriptures proving Jesus is our saviour, therefore according to 1 Timothy 4:10, He alone is God. Why then are there those who say Jesus is not God?Could it be that these once stalwarts of the faith have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils? How then can there be any basis for fellowship? I have been asked to call a couple of these people so that they can explain their position to me, however I am not prepared to enter into what would only be an argument. These few verses that I have quoted and listed for all who read this blog are proof enough for me, anything less is men's ideas at best. At the worst they are the doctrines of devils. There is a provision in this blog setup where one may leave a comment and you may leave yours if you want to agree or disagree. I will publish anybody's opinion so long as it is not of an offensive nature and I am speaking of offensive language. I will publish disagreeing positions as well as those who agree.

Is Jesus really God?

What kind of a question is that? Of course He is really God. In a couple of hours we will gather (in community) with those of like mindedness, those of like precious faith, we call it church. The Bible calls it church and even though we all may not agree on every detail, we do all agree that Jesus is our God. We may not dot every "i" or cross every "t" exactly the same but one thing we do agree on wholeheartedly is this fundamental truth, He is very God. A couple of verses from the Amplified Bible explains this thing about community (church) and our relationship to one another and to our God. 14Although I hope to come to you before long, I am writing these instructions to you so that,
15If I am detained, you may know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and stay (the prop and support) of the Truth.
16And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [[a]God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory. In these few verses the writer, who just happens to be the Apostle Paul, is explaining some fundamentals to his spiritual son in the faith, Timothy, that first of all, the church of the living God is the purveyor of all truth in the world and secondly that truth is that God became flesh; just read that verse16. Now I for the life of me cannot understand why reasonably intelligent human beings can't see that it is rerferring to none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.

And to deny the truth that Jesus is God is to deny the Christian faith and I shudder to think what the consequences are for such a decision. Remember, it's not the first mile that you'll be judged for...you may stumble along the way but there is still time to repent and get ready for His appearing..."and every eye shall see Him."

Who is Jesus?...a series

He was there before Bethlehem, Christ was there from before the foundations of the earth In the epistle to the Hebrews, speaking of Christ, reading from ch. 1 verse 10 it says, " You LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; " The thought comes to mind since this entire passage is talking about the Son that He must in fact be God Himself. In 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, it says "Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them and that Rock was Christ." Now how could Christ be in a cloud or in the sea at the time of Israel's exodus out of Egypt if He was just a man? How could He have laid the foundations of the earth if He were just a man? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know the answers to these two questions. He was and therefore still is God! However, it would not matter who He was or is if He was not a God of compassion....if He did not care for us. Look at these words from the prophet Hosea chapter 11:1 "When Israel wasa child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son,...vs 3, I taught Ephraim to walk, vs 4, I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love....vs 7, My people are bent on backsliding from Me....but look at God's response in verse number 8, How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over Israel....My heart churns within Me." You should read this entire chapter to understand the compassion that God has for the backslider...wayward children who are lost. Truly His heart is full of compassion for our families, for those of us who have a son or daughter who has lost their way and are bent on backsliding. Chapter 12, verse 6 says,"So by the help of your God treturn; obsderve mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually." The prophecy of Hosea is about returning...repentance and God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. He is still extending an invitation to all today who are outside the ark of safety, so take heart all who are trusting in Him for a loved one to get saved..love never fails and God is love and Jesus is God.

A tribute to Uncle Mac

This is a poem that I wrote about Uncle Mac after a visit back in Feb/07 and I published it in my blog called moreaboutHisWord , a blog that I shared with Naida. Today we will bury Uncle Mac on the Island he called home...

The Golden Years...so called.He just seems to sit there, staring into space. Emptiness, loneliness written on his face. He's eighty three now, tired, a broken, lonely man And I remember when that picture wasn't in the plan. He was young and strong, determined; had life in full control Knew where he was going and deep within his soul There was a fire burning; yes a yearning deep inside To be the best at anything, whatever thing he tried I used to think; Wow! what a man. He really runs the show But running isn't there anymore...even his speech is slow The Golden years are seldom kind, though some may think it's true Too many old folks laid aside like an old worn out shoe But it pays to show real kindness as you walk along life's way For most of us end up like hm, we've seen a better day And as I face the future, sometimes I contemplate What will be my portion; what will be my fate? Will I be tired and lonely too? Will every day be blue? Will I lose my driver's licence, my independence too? If fate is what I depend upon who knows what it will bring? But I decided long ago to put my trust in Him He carries me when I'm too weak to walk; I have trouble too In the end He's still my Friend and He will take me through There's an empty place in each of us that lies within the soul That only Jesus can complete and make us every whit whole If you're looking for a better day, then that day will start When you let Jesus Christ come in and fill your empty heart He'll give you joy and peace inside, a love that you can't hide Instead of empty loneliness His Presence will abide Don't let the golden years depress they're just a stepping stone To that eternal place of rest, that Heaven I call.....Home RC

Confirmation:Jesus is God

I'm not much on naming doctrines, i.e. trinity, oneness....I am not much on theology, I just take the Word of God at face value. Mind you I have my own convictions on the Godhead,I just am not arguing it. Suffice it to say that I believe without an inkling of doubt in my heart, that Jesus is God who became a man. He is God.Therefore when I read something about what He said in the Bible, I realize that He was speaking sometimes as man and sometimes as God. And when John said in John ch.1 verse 14,"And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" he was concluding a statement that started out with this "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,He was referring to a Man who was the express image of the Father, he was talking about a man who was also God.
You will note that I started this blog series on April 7/09 and added another post on the 9th.
Both with the same theme; "Who is Jesus?" Ironically or not, it was in the Tuesday night prayer meeting that same April 9, that our young assistant pastor in our church, not knowing that I had on that very same day posted my blog spoke on this same subject, that is that Jesus is God. Is, was and ever shall be God. Then yesterday morning our lead pastor spoke again on this same subject..."who is Jesus?" Neither of them had read my two blogs, at least I am not aware of it.
I do not pretend to be nearly as learned as they but I do take this as confirmation hat I am giving you what God would have me give at this particular moment in time...Jesus is truly, totally God and I worship Him today.

Who is Jesus, parrt 2

This blog called Godspattern clearly states that it is a layman’s view…not a minister of the Gospel, nor a theologian, just a layman. So I do not pretend to be any thing but a layman however I can truthfully say that I have had a life long love affair with God’s Word, the Bible. A great aunt gave my brother and I two brand new Holman Bibles for Christmas in 1948…I still have mine, it is tattered, torn, not in very good shape, but it has shaped my life. I don’t always live up to it’s precepts but I know that when I fail, Jesus is there to lift me up and set me on the right path. Psalm 37:23,24 tells us “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD and He delights in his way, 24/ Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand.” I have experienced that forgiving hand many times, the key is repentance….1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” That is the very essence of the Gospel. And the scribes and Pharisees were correct when they said to Jesus that only God can forgive sins. What they did not know because they refused to accept the truth was that they were talking to God when they were talking to Jesus.. You can read the account in Matt. 9:3, Mark 2:5-7 and in Luke 5:20,21 God in the flesh was standing there before them establishing a principal, that being just what the scribes had unwittingly accused Him of (only God can forgive sin) and they missed His visitation entirely. But the man who was sick didn’t miss it, he was forgiven and received healing in that same moment. Now I ask you, how can a man heal another man of a disease like the one this man had by saying to him “take up your bed and walk?” Only God can do that as well. Jesus is the great physician and He can still heal today. He still forgives sin today also, and you can receive forgiveness in this moment simply by asking Him to forgive you of your sins and receive Him as your Savior; all you have to do is believe. He is God and God forevermore.

who is Jesus?

Who Jesus really is: this is a series

A well known hymn/gospel song says, “the great Creator became my Savior and all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him.” Now there is a doctrine floating around coming out of the southern part of the United states that forbids worshipping the Lord Jesus because He was just a man it says and to worship any person or any thing besides God is idolatry. This doctrine (so called) says that Jesus is not God, that He is a perfect man but only a man.
Preposterous, I say…this has caused many to fall. There are those in our own province who are embracing this lie. There is always room for disagreement but never room for an outright denial of the Deity of Jesus Christ. This is the main point of this doctrine and it is heresy. So now here is what I believe…
When Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, God became flesh. And John tells us in John 1:14 “ and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 Timothy 3:15,16 says “without controversy great is the mystery of godliness,
God was manifest in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen of angels, Preached unto the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up into glory.” In the NRSV, IT SAYS, “Without any doubt” There is not a doubt that Jesus is God! To think otherwise is to deny scripture…it is to fly in the face of truth…In Hebrews chapter 1 verses 1,2 He is the creator of the universe; John declares the same thing in his account of the Good news. He says in John 1:3 “All things were made by Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
Now my question is, how could a man create the worlds and everything in them? If you could prove that a man can create a world ……what nonsense! How utterly ridiculous can you get? Man cannot create. God has given man the capability to reproduce, but that is as far as it goes. Man cannot create a universe, it is not even logical and yet there is a relatively new book that states Jesus is not God and yet the Bible clearly states that He is the creator, in fact it says very plainly that He is God. I personally believe it with every fiber of my being. I welcome any comments on this blog and, please in your own words.

ICE
What a winter for ice this past one has been. Now you would think that after such a winter and our two weeks in the Caribbean that I would put it behind me.And ice brings with it a whole set of issues. Issues that most of us could do without, however the truth is there is nothing we can do about it, just complain.
There are a couple of verses in the Bible that mention ice and both are found in the old book of Job. Scholars tell us that Job is possibly the oldest book known to mankind. Chapter 6:15-17, quoting from the New Revised Standard Version Job says “ My companions are treacherous like a torrent bed, like freshets that pass away, that run dark with ice, turbid with melting snow, In time of heat they disappear; when it is hot they vanish from their place.” Sounds like fair weather friends that Job had doesn’t it? In the 13th. Verse he made a statement that precludes all this by saying “Those who withhold kindness from a friend forsake the fear of the Almighty.” Pretty serious stuff isn’t it? Sometimes when a person slips or trouble comes, instead of kindness from their friends they receive criticism or gossiping behind their back. That is what Job’s so called friends did. And when someone does that they are guilty of forsaking the fear of God and also there is no compassion in their hearts. God give us compassion and forgive us the pointing of our fingers.
The other reference is found in Ch. 38 verse 29. This time it is God who speaks
“From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?” The next verse says “The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.” Just before we went away on vacation we had a water problem in our former house and it meant digging a trench to drain off the water. So I engaged the services of a neighbour who had a backhoe, but the ice was so hard that it just scratched the surface and that big machine just bounced around on the ice and could not penitrate it…something like Job’s friends. ….COLD AND HARD.
Let compassion be your trademark.

Tuesday night Bible study, cont'd

Continuing on Abraham was without doubt one of the greatest men of all time. History records it for us; he is still honored today by Christians and Muslims and Jews. All claim him to one degree or another as their father. To the Jews he is the founder of the Jewish nation…to the Muslims he was of course the father of Ishmael who was the father of the Arab nations and consequently Muslims claim him as their father…and to Christians he has this special spiritual relationship, this faith in the finished work of Christ that he saw afar off and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
However he was also a man full of faults and failures just like you and me. He made mistakes just like we do…he feared the face of clay just like we do.
He sought to maintain a godly home but the worst strife he ever faced was in his own home…he had to choose between his wife Sarah and his first son Ishmael. Sarah said concerning Ishmael and his mother Hagar…”I want them out of here.” And it was probably the hardest thing he ever had to face with the exception of course of the turmoil in his heart when God told him to sacrifice Isaac.
Abraham met many challenges but the Bible says that he believed God…and it was counted unto him for righteousness. When you look at Abraham, ..what qualities do you see in him?
I see a man of great faith in spite of his failures; I see an intercessor, a prayer warrior if you will. I’m wondering if there are many intercessors today?
How we need those who will truly intercede on behalf of the lost and that takes us to Abraham’s great intercessory prayer for Sodom.

Abraham had a simple childlike faith in God. He believed God would do everything that He said He would do. Reading it from the New Revised Standard Version, ch 11, vs 11, “because he considered Him faithful who had promised”.
That is the essence of faith…our believing, we have considered Him faithful who has promised. So there is no need for fear of what lies ahead, because He is faithful and He has promised. He has promised a home in heaven…in fact He is there right now preparing for our entry. Abraham did not put down too many roots; he was looking for an eternal home. You can tell these people pretty quickly. Judy and I were having breakfast one morning on the ship with a couple from Michigan whom we had neve met before and right away they confessed that they were Christians, but we had already detected that by their spirit. And their manner of conversation. You can tell can’t you. When your spirit witnesses with their spirit and the Holy Spirit sanctions that witness, you know that they are Christians. And as we talked there over breakfast we talked about heaven…..we are seeking a home land. And it is by faith in the finished work of Christ. Repentance is the key thing. We have to be in a constant state of repentance, at least that is how I feel about it. We are no different than Abraham, are we? He messed up more than once but he was all the time building altars. I have had to build a few altars my self in my lifetime. The old hymn writer asks the question, “is your all on the altar of sacrifice lain, your heart does the Spirit control?”
Does He control your heart tonight? It’s the only life worth living another song says and I agree wholeheartedly. Abraham got into trouble when he went down to Egypt, Egypt is a type of the world. You can tell when an individual is spending too much time in Egypt by their worldly mindedness, they never spend time with God, hardly ever read His Word, they seldom speak of Him, their interests are on things on the earth, entertainment that is questionable, Read Colossians chapter 3 starting with verse 1. Our lives are hid, it says here with Christ in God. And I for one am glad…Christ is now my life. What does it say in Cor. I think it is? If any man be in Christ he is a new creature…old things pass away, behold all things become new….just as the Old Testament saints were in Christ , by faith, so we are also.

Hebrews ch. 11, part 2 A heavenly hope. I feel like travelling on.

(I have decided to continue this study that I am giving at the church house via my blogspot, Godspattern )

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees and looks to God alone.
Laughs at impossibilities and cries; IT SHALL BE DONE!
I FIRST HEARD THIS CHORUS in 1952 in a little town just northwest of Toronto. It was in a little Baptist church, the building itself was a rented Orange hall that the congregation was using while they were waiting to build a new place.
That was where I first accepted Jesus as my own personal Savior. It was Jan. 27 or 28, I can’t remember the exact date but I remember being under tremendous conviction of sin, night after night. They had an evangelist there from Grand Rapids Michigan and he was holding a two week evangelistic campaign; he was preaching from the book of the Revelation, had all the charts and this little boy from Campobello Island knew he was lost and needed a Savior but was too timid to raise his hand or go to the altar. One Saturday night, the last Saturday night of the campaign, the pastor of that church was waiting at the door to greet everyone and he asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus as my Savior. I thank God for that pastor’s obedience, he led me to the Lord that night and though there have been times I’ve been unfaithful, He has kept me through the years and I am living by faith tonight in the finished work of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No doubt there are many who can tell of a similar experience in your own life. Here is an opportunity to testify; perhaps a couple or more…

My heavenly home is bright and fair and I feel like travelling on. Brother Clifford Crabtree, another great man of God used to sing a little chorus that said “I remember the time and I can take you to the place, where God saved me by His saving grace, But I can’t tell you how and I can’t tell you why, but I’ll tell you all about it in the by and by…

Faithful Abraham. Look at Hebrews 11:8-16. “By faith Abraham obeyed…” The two go together don’t they? I’m speaking of faith and obedience…by obedience we declare our faith. Last time we met in this setting, I said that there is a practical side of faith and that would be acting on His Word in obedience. James says “faith without works is dead. Abraham demonstrated by his life that his trust, his faith was in his God.
By faith he waited for that city which has foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God. Waiting on the LORD…they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength…Isa.ch. 40 vs. 31
God made a promise to Abraham. He said in Gen,,.12:1-…well let’s read it Stop at verse 7 for a while. It says that the LORD had appeared to him. Perhaps a little review of Abraham’s life is in order at this point.
Abraham was called of God as we just read it there in this 12th. Chapter of Genesis. He was to become the leader of a great spiritual host more than could be numbered. He obeyed the call and as a result became that leader of a people who are still looking for a city whose builder and maker is God.
Most of the important events connected with his life are seen throughout his journeys. He was brought up in a place called Ur of the Chaldees and God called him to leave there, as we read in ch. 12 but we need to back up to the previous chapter and read the story starting at verse 27. So we see that Abraham’s father Terah died there in Haran. That would have been no doubt a major blow to Abraham, he was called Abram at this point in his life, …the loss of a loved one can be a devastating thing…but life goes on and you or I have to go on. Amen?
So Abram journeyed from Haran to Shechem. And God appeared to him. He built an altar at Shechem, ch 12:4,7 Shechem means a part or portion and Haran means “grace.”
From Shechem, Abram journeyed to Bethel which means “house of God” ch 12 verse no.8. There he built an altar unto God and “called upon the name of the LORD.” Abram was a man of prayer. It is what we do today , don’t we? We come in to the house of God and call upon His name only we don’t have to be in this house to call on God because wherever we are is where the house of God is . He dwells in us, amen? And wherever we are we can call upon Him. Just like Abraham did.
The next move was down to Egypt. There is never a good feeling when the Bible talks about going down to Egypt. I could list the many times when people of God have gone down to Egypt and only in a few exceptions did it turn out for good. Read it in ch. 12 verses 9-11. It was there in Egypt that he denied Sarah being his wife, verses 11-13. When you think of the consequences that could have come out of that stupid decision had it not been that God had His hand on His life….but then we make foolish and rash choices don’t we? And God comes along and saves our bacon? He bails us out? That is what He did for Abraham. Do we cast off our children just because they make a mistake every now and then? Is God any less merciful than we are? No, but He is manifold wiser
It was no doubt while in Egypt that Sarah acquired her handmaid Hagar and look at the results of that decision. Israel is still paying for that choice today.

He returned to Bethel and again called on the name of the LORD. That’s found in ch.13: 1-4. From Bethel he went to Hebron. Hebron means society or friendship. We need fellowship don’t we? It is not good being alone, we need one another. Again in Hebron he built an altar unto his God. Ch. 13 vs. 18 Abram spent a lot of time building altars. Do you think that had something to do with his spiritual success? I know it does today; if we make an altar in our hearts, God will meet us there, amen? That song we sing says it, “Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary” So we need to prepare our hearts to build an altar there. We need to find a place of prayer wherever we are. We need to nurture the desire for the presence of God. You can’t ride on your parent’s faith or your husband or your wife; you have to seek God for yourself… Pastor preached on being desperate for God. It was a masterful sermon. I love good preaching. And we will lose out if we are not desparate for God. How we need to return as a body to holiness living if we are going to be effective as a church. I need to, we all need to live holy, amen?

The next move was from Hebron to Damascus., you would have to go through Damascus to get to Canaan. Damascus is the oldest city on earth. Did you know that? It was and still is, or so I’m told, an impressive city to behold, though I’ve never been there. Sometimes you have to take the word of others. It was a beautiful city; legend says that when Mohammed first entered the city that he stood in awe at the wonderful scene before him and decided not to enter it because he said “man can have but one paradise and mine is fixed above”. So it must have been a beautiful place. And it still is today, or so I am told.
And Abraham might have been mindful to live there but he had his mind fixed on that continuing city whose Builder and Maker is God….read it again in verses 9 & 10.Hebrews 11….. He could find no permanent dwelling because he was looking for a city that has foundation and the Architect is God. And he believed God, amen? Are you looking for that same city? The old hymn says “that city where the Lamb is the Light…” “I’ve a mansion over there and when free from toil and care I am going where the Lamb is the LIGHT.” Let’s not hold to this world too tightly. Let’s pray for loved ones to make it…let’s be that witness to them through our lives. Pray that they will have a hunger for God and heaven. When all else fails…pray. Pray without ceasing. Pray for the lost of this world, pray for India, China, Africa, Saint John…pray for all men everywhere. Pray for an outpouring of the Spirit. Abraham was a man of prayer; he knew just how to build an altar.
I have just mentioned a few places in Abraham’s journeys but what is important here for us to see is his faith. Turn to the book of Romans ch.4 verses 1-5.
“What shall we say then our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found ?
2/ For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3/ For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted unto him for righteousness.” Let me pause right here and ask a question. If that made Abraham a righteous man, is this not the same requirement today? The answer lies in the next two verses: “ 4/Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5/But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Amen, amen, amen! What a glorious revelation of truth…faith counts for righteousness…nothing else will do! Nothing less will do.
I am going to quote those last two verses, 4 & 5 from an earlier paraphrase of the living Bible because it says it very clearly, “ But didn’t he(speaking of Abraham) earn his right to heaven by all the good things he did? No, for being saved is a gift; if a person could earn it by being good, then it wouldn’t be free----
But it is! It is given to those who do not work for it. For God declares sinners to be good in His sight if they have faith in Christ to save them from God’s wrath.”

I think this is the hardest part for us as human beings to grasp and we try to understand it all with our human intellect and it just doesn’t work. We still have to try and earn it and it just doesn’t work! It is all through the blood of Christ; it is only through His sacrifice on the cross and there is absolutely nothing that we can do except believe it…except receive it…it is free! By faith Abraham…
There are so many examples here in the book of Hebrews of people of faith
And in the 13th. Verse of Hebrews 11, it tells us “These all died in faith…” not having received the promises,” but”…there’s that word again…”but” having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Vs. 14 “For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.” Read verses 15 & 16 also. The last portion of verse again “Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a city.” He has prepared for us a city, Hallelujah! There is so much here in this chapter and what a tragedy it is when some modern day prophets turn this chapter into a manual for success meaning financial prosperity. This is all about faith in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! I wish that I could do it justice, I’m talking about my teaching here but just read it over and over and over again until it gets down in your spirit and in your soul and you will receive whatever you need because having said what I have just said about the prosperity thing, I still believe that the just shall LIVE by faith! Both spiritually and physically; I hope I haven’t confused anyone. To be continued…tomorrow
