11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

F.P.H. THANKSGIVING DAY - THANK YOU JESUS!
11] Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12] Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, 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.

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS ONE COMMONALITY!
1] TESTED = God Allows
2] PUNISHED = God Commanded
JOB 16:15-22 = TESTED
JERIMIAH 14:7-10 = COMMANDED
These Scriptures are Two Confessions.
Two People who Recognize The Stature of Their Lives. Both of their Lives are falling apart. The End Result Is That Both People Still Have Hope!
"THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL"
ISAIAH 40:1-2 = END RESULT LIBERTY
1] Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2] Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
"JOB"
JOB 42:12-15 END RESULT BLESSINGS
12] So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. 13] He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14] And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. 15] And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
The Commonality In Both Scenarios Is God!
ECCLESIASTES 8:1-5
1] Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
2] I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
3] Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4] Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5] Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

33] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34] All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

2ND THESSALONIANS CHP2:1-17
"THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY"
Apostle Paul Teaches us about the sin that will be destroyed when Jesus appears, when Jesus returns to get the purchased possession which the Children of God we are.
Apostle Paul enlightens us on the events of the Great Day of The Lord. How the evil workers of Iniquity will deceive many, leading the into believing in them rather than God. They will be in the Temples preaching their Lies, claiming to be God and mankind will be blinded, those who chose not to hear the Truth of God ELOHIM. They are called the Son's of Perdition [Marked for Death]
All those who did not want to believe on the name of Jesus Christ the Son of The Living God they will be lost in everlasting darkness weeping and nashing of teeth. All those who would believe and remain stedfast and unmoveable will be caught up at the rapture to meet King Jesus in the Promise Land called Heaven.

God's Living Water Ministry CLG FAITHPOWERHOUR PRESENTS: The Rejection Of God Is A Fatal Outcome
1ST SAMUEL CHP 8:1-22
These Scriptures depict a time when the Children of Israel chose to turn away from God who had delivered them from the hand of oppression and slavery down in Egypt. God had been their Leader during their Journey in the wilderness. There is no doubt that God has been good to them but they in turn has rejected his Kindness and Love.
Verse 5 of Chp 8: And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
Today in our times and society we have forsaken the presence of God and removed God from our presence. We in many ways have asked to be like other nations. Nations who would rather serve Idol Gods than the True and Living God. We took Prayer out of our School Systems and out of our Governmental Establishments. We watch our children being destroyed in their class and on the streets. The one place where they should feel safe there is no safety. We are blinded by the evil that has permeated our world. Satan appears to have taken control, Say it's not so!
Verse 7 & 8 of Chp 8: And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
This decision proved to be the down fall of a mighty nation. They found themselves persecuted and tormented by other nations. They fell away from worshiping God and worshiped Satan. They bowed down to Idols and dove deep into sin. Their rejection of God proved to be the worse decision they ever made. Is there any wonder why America is being persecuted today. Our children are being killed and killing each other. We allow our children to watch Video Games that train them in our homes to commit acts of violence and hatred. We sit away from our children while this Evil Permeates their minds with Blood, Guts and Violence. Shooting and Stabbing, using Cars to Run people down in the streets.
PROVERBS 22:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
We sit and say nothing while the enemy Kills, Steals and Destroys our future. Who is our Future, our Children is our future. We buy the and bring the tools of Satan into our homes. Murder and Rape Videos, Shooting and Killing and Stabbing Videos. We see but we are to Lazy to do anything about.
PROVERBS 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
This is Biblical and admonishes us to Teach our Children about God. Instead we are Training Them to commit Evil by giving them the murderous videos. What we feed the mind will be the desires of the mind. And yes they will not depart from it but will become the murderers and persecutors of the future. If we don't change we are heading for self destruction via our children.
ISAIAH 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.Lets give our children a chance for peace, let us bring prayer back into our schools and our homes. Let us come together and allow our children tp love one another. Let us take back our Children by Bring God Back Into Our Homes and Our Schools and Into Our Governmental Systems. It's Up To Us, Can We Do It? Yes We Can!

God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME!
"THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME" Listen To Apostle Paul Speak About Idol Worship
The Lord our God gave this command without mixing words, to the point and firm as he could.
- 3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
This command was given to The Children of ISRAEL with good reason, God had delivered them from bondage/slavery incurred on them for 400 years. They suffered at the hands of the Egyptians for no fault of their own accept that they were The Children of The Promise and that promise began to manifest right there in Egypt. This brought fear into the lives of the Egyptians. For this reason God gave this command and rightfully so he should be honored in this command.
- “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.”
God continues to show his love to all mankind, His love for us is unmeasurable and there is evidence in all the works of his Mighty Hands. Here in is why Idol Worship makes no since. Why would man worship and pray to something they have created. Something that can't see, Talk, or Hear your cries. A mouth but can not talk or utter a sound. Why would we give the Credit to Idols for the Life God gave to us. This is wickedness in the eyes of God.
- ACTS 17:24-27 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.
ACTS Chapter 19:23-41 ends our Study on Idol Worship, HIGHER POWERS-WORSHIP OF THE ENERGY & THE UNIVERSE!
Remember, All Glory and Honor is belongs to ELOHIM JEHOVAH THE LORD our GOD!
- ISAIAH 42:5-8 5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: PRT3 THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE!
This Command by God was firm and to the point.
EXODUS 20:3-4
3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
God did not mix his words and gave perfect reason why the Children of Israel should honor this commandment. EXODUS 20:2 “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” So you see if not for God, the Children of ISRAEL would have lived up to this day as slaves in Eygpt. This you can beleive because if not for God, we too would remain slaves to sin. In fact, the only reason anyone is a slave to sin today is because of there own choice. The Truth who is Jesus gave his Life by way of God that we might be free.....Its a Choice!
JOHN 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Today we conclude our study on IDOL WORSHIP- HIGHER POWERS and WORSHIPING THE UNIVERSE. Although this is a sensitive subject we seek to offend no one. Our only effort is to speak the truth when it comes to The Lord God JEHOVAH ELOHIM The True and Living God. ISAIAH 42:5-8 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6] I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7] To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8] I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
QUICK LOOK BACK
ACTS 17:24-27
24] God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25] Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26] And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation
27] That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
ACTS 19:23-41
Apostle Paul is confronted and accused of turning many people in EPHESUS away from Idol Worship to the Worship of The True and Living God. This brings to mind
MALACHI 2:4-6 THE "TRIBE OF LEVI" [PHINEHAS] This conversion was causing monitary decrease in the pockets of those who sold Idols as a way of life to feed their families. There was one man in particular Demetrius who became very upset and caused an uproar and a riot gathering and forced two disciples into a theater to Judge these men. Alexander The Town Clerk quickly put an end to all the rioting by bring the people to remembrance of the law and unlawful gatherings. He also stated that these men [The Disciples] had done nothing wrong or said nothing against their goddess Diana The Idol that they served. ACTS 19:37-41 The assembly was quickly ended and the disciples let go.
The objective here is that the Kingdom of God must be preached throughout the world and made manifest in the hearts of mankind. Regardless of whether they receive or not receive, they have heard and have been given the opportunity to make a choice between Life or Death.

THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME
God Is, The Great I AM! There is no one who can come close to comparrison. God being the Creator of all things has the power to know all things. This is why we say when we pray -Our Father who art In Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done As In Heaven So In Earth. The last part of this prayer that was prescribed by Jesus Christ The Son, This was added in as a Valid acknowledgment of God's DEITY "Thine Is The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory forever and ever amen"
APOSTLE PAUL while over in EPHESUS encountered some men who were astonished by the Spirit of God that was on Paul's Life and was evident through the Miracles that God performed through Paul. The Sick Healed and Demonic Demons were Casted Out of People. There were those men thinking that through there evil works they could do the same things Apostle Paul had done. That was a big mistake because Satan spoke to those men and said these words: ACTS 19: 15] And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16] And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
This one Incident proves that God's power is distributed to his anointed and to those who know him. Satan is very much aware those whom are God's anointed servants. As well he should! One thing to take from this particular incident is that if God does not know you than you best believe Satan does not know you either in the capacity of the Subject. Satan may know you as his servant but not the servant of God and he will kill you for going against him.
The Truth stands and is fact, that God is Power and The only Power that exist. All else is a forgery. It has no concrete effect or legitimate being. Satan has power that's why he is called the prince of the world/darkness, not King but prince. God has all Authority and he gave that same Authority to his
Son Jesus Christ , hear Jesus Speak in MATTHEW 28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Apostle Paul spoke these words in the book of PHILIPPIANS:
PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Listen to APOSTLE PAUL as he Teaches the Children of EPHESUS leading them away from witchcraft and all manner of Idolatry. Apostle Paul made a difference in EPHESUS. This is where the book of EPHESIAN derives.

God's Living Water Ministry FAITHPOWERHOUR Presents: I NEED YOU JESUS
Today we our living as though we do not need God in our lives. In some cases it appears as though we have all together turned away. I liken today's society to PSALM 14
- 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge. 7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. JOHN CHP1
Some of us if not all have resigned the right to acknowledge God as supreme deity, alive and well. The creator of all at that is. Make no mistake, there is no one, nothing that can exist without God's hands involved.
- 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
There's no doubt in my mind, I need God. I refuse to live without him in my Life. What about you? have you come to the same conclusion. Everything that life has to offer me I place in God's hands. God is my Life, God and only God the only God! King David said it like this:
- 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
The fact is we all need him whether we choose to admit it there really is no denying the truth. Jesus said "And ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you Free" JOHN 8:32 He also said "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life" JOHN 14:6

HIGHER POWER
The vast majority of Americans (90%) believe in some kind of higher power, with 56% professing faith in God as described in the Bible and another 33% saying they believe in another type of higher power or spiritual force. Only one-in-ten Americans say they don't believe in God or a higher power of any kind.Apr 25, 2018
PANTHEISM
If you believe in pantheism, you see God in the whole world around you. Pantheism is a religious belief that includes the entire universe in its idea of God. A person who follows the religious doctrine of pantheism believes that God is all around us, throughout the whole universe. Pantheism implies a lack of separation between people, things, and God, but rather sees everything as being interconnected. More rarely, pantheism refers to a belief in all gods from all religions, or a tolerance for those beliefs. In Greek, pan means "all" and theos means "god."
SUN WORSHIP
Although sun worship has been used frequently as a term for “pagan” religion, it is, in fact, relatively rare. Though almost every culture uses solar motifs, only a relatively few cultures (Egyptian, Indo-European, and Meso-American) developed solar religions. All of these groups had in common a well-developed urban civilization with a strong ideology of sacred kingship. In all of them the imagery of the sun as the ruler of both the upper and the lower worlds that he majestically visits on his daily round is prominent.
Here in is why we need to be very careful and concerned about keeping what is Holy- Holy....What Is Righteous- Righteous. We being the Creation of God are in all actuality the Righteousness of God for we where Created in The Spirit of Righteousness who is God. Please review these 3 sets of Scriptures for your understanding.
#1 EXODUS 20:1-6
1] And God spake all these words, saying, 2] I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage 3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
#2 PSALM 81:8-12
8] Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 9] There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 10] I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11] But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12] So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
#3 ROMANS 1:21-25
21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5] For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6] Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
These Scriptures Written so long ago proves the God loves mankind and has significantly established his creation from the beginning. God continued to prove his Love for mankind by sending his Son Jesus after sin introduced itself by way of disobedience and covetousness in the Garden of Eden.
ROMANS 5:12-15
12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Its Time we all take very serious the words written in the Bible because the
Truth and Warnings have been provided. Our we the True Children of God? Have we given up the world to follow in the foot steps of Jesus Christ. Our we walking In The Spirit of God that has been made accessible through the Blood of Jesus God's Son.
ROMANS 8:1-2
1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
This gift of Life through Jesus Christ is made available to all who will freely receive. This life of submitting to Christ is a choice and not forced on anyone. You must want it, feel you need it and be drawn away by the words of God that you hear. The Penalty for sin is death, The Gift for Righteousness is Eternal Life In Christ Jesus.
JOHN 5:24-29
24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
These words spoken by Jesus should encourage you to accept the free gift of life that Jesus has provided. It is only offered up until the day you depart from this earth. There is no second chance, you must act now while you have breath in you!
PSALM 90:12-17
12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 13] Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 17] And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
These scriptures Written by Paul has inspired us to live in a way that conforms to the Commitment Christ made. Christ left his home in glory, his kingdom in heaven to come down and live as a man. Took off his glory and covered himself in shame. Jesus off who he was to become what we are to free us from who we had become. Sinners we are now saved by grace all because Jesus sacrificed his Life taking sin and shame to the grave. Jesus defeated the effect sin had by way of death giving us Life Eternal. Jesus rose from the grave victorious in three days and ascended back home to his Father In Heaven. By this sacrifice Christ made it possible for those who would believe, turn from their wicked ways and follow him would live in heaven with him and be reconciled back to God. The Created back to the Creator.
Apostle Paul gets deep in Chapter 3 of PHILIPPIANS as he teaches and confides in us his reasoning for following Jesus. Paul's Encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus gave him an experiential moment that would last a lifetime. Now Apostle Paul would give up everything for Christ. Looking forward forgetting what he left behind to Win Christ. Apostle Paul proclaimed his desire to know Jesus in the fellowship of his Suffering,
To know Jesus for the Power of his Resurrection. PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER THREE Paul opens up to the reader his reasoning for working as hard as he does and why we should strive to do the same. Apostle Paul teaches us New Man Character, Faithfulness and Love... Comfort and Peace even from prison Paul's Joy was the work of the Lord. Jesus said Pick up Your Cross and Follow Me. The way we represent God down here on earth is a very important task. See we are ambassadors seeking to usher in the unbelievers.
2ND CORINTHIANS 5:20-21
20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
EPHESIANS 5:15-20 15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise 16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
PSALM 27:4] One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

We Live and We Learn as we grow and Mature in the presence of our God.
The Bible as it is written, helps us to navigate through this world with confidence. Our trust in God defines us as children of God, the same way God had faith in Job. [Job Chp 1:8] In these Scriptures God Testified of Job's Character. Allowing every reader to know God does pay close attention to the lives we live and will speak for us defending us against the adversary.
Apostle Paul, The Servant of God was and still is very Instrumental, Inspirational and Encouraging while assisting God in the building of his Kingdom. Paul's Teachings as given to him by God has strengthened the character of many Christians. Giving us courage and faith in Jesus Christ by the Doctrine he has been entrusted to preach and teach.
The Book Of Philippians is one of the books that Jesus spoke through Paul. Chapter Two of Philippians guides us in a right way of living and being seen as a child of God. Paul teaches how to care for each other by explaining Jesus time and work while down here on earth. The mind set of Christ which should be our desire.
"LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS"
Obedient unto death, Christ showed us not only how to live for God but how long we should strive to enter into the gates of Heaven. In Philippians Chp 2 we learn how faithfulness to God works and overcomes regardless of our circumstances. Paul being a prisoner, continued to show a strong presence in the lives of those whom he had led to Christ. Paul Encouraged us to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling [Cautiously] warns us not to compromise our faith and relationship with God.
To secure the work that he had performed for Christ, Paul would send men likeminded, those whom would continue the work of Christ as it is written. Men that would be careful to teach for the glory of God and not for self preservation. These men would preach the gospel of Jesus Christ even to their own hurt. Paul taught us Unity, Fellowship and One Mind On Accord.
Listen To Paul as he teaches Chapter 2 Philippians 1:30

6] Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 7] For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? 8] There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
It's time to take serious the purpose of God sending his Son. We have no more time left to figure it out, only to live and to live according to What's Right and Not What's Wrong. We all must meet Jesus at the end of our Journey. The question is what is your end. The decision is yours.
ECCLESIASTES 6:1-8 1] There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2] A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 3] If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he. 4] For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 5] Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. 6] Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? 7] All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 8] For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
These scriptures talk about the rich, the famous, those who are well fed. It really makes no difference who and how well off you are. Just as the poor and needy who are the compassion of God, they to must reverence God alike. A rich mans or women's wealth won't be a factor in Life, True Life nor will your wealth and fame bring you Joy. Without Jesus there is no Life neither is there any Joy. Everything we have Rich or Poor it is a waiste In Vain without Christ. Our desires regardless of our status must be directed towards God.
MATTHEW 6:20-24 VERSE 21, For where your Treasure is, there will your Heart be also. VERSE 24, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
The Truth is that our desires can not and should not override our Love for God. The Light Of Life is The Love of Christ! The Love of the world and it's pleasures is Darkness and Death.
Tell your friends, relatives, family members even your enemies. Tell them Jesus is coming and he is not coming to Save but to Redeem those who have been Purchased by his Blood, The Blood of Jesus Christ.
Tell them to let Jesus be the desire of there lives and receive Salvation. Say yes... Say yes.. Save me Jesus! ROMANS 10:9-10, 9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Today and always we must set our hearts to be loving and kind to everyone we meet, yes even our enemies. Love Unfeigned: John Chp 15:vs 12 "This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you". Matthew Chp 5: vs 44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which de-spitefully use you and persecute you. These are truly Christ like characteristics. Philip Chp 2: vs 5 "Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus." As christian people we need to carry ourselves in like manner. How we treat people daily should reflect the Christ that lives inside of us. I often say and do my best to live by this motto. its not that John, Sue and Joe saw me yes that's very much important because we are suppose to be examples for the world as Christ was an example for us. What's most Important is that Christ, God the father saw me and nothing can be hidden from him. Don't get me wrong and don't be misled, don't be fake because God searches the heart and tries the reins Jeremiah Chp 17: vs 10. So lets at all times be true to ourselves as being true to one another. Philip Chp 2: vs 13 "for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure". vs 14, 15 as well read and be blessed.

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and

Virtual and physical training facilities have been integrated to familiarize astronauts with the conditions they will encounter during all phases of flight and prepare astronauts for a microgravity environment.[4] Special considerations must be made during training to ensure a safe and successful mission, which is why the Apollo astronauts received training for geology field work on the Lunar surface and why research is being conducted on best practices for future extended missions, such as the trip to Mars.

1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him
2 Timothy 1:7
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Proverbs 24:10
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Hebrews 10:38-39
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
PERDITION
A state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.
In the book of Isaiah 43:1-7,
God encourages the children of Israel not to be afraid of the terror, the threats, the circumstantial situations that just show up in their lives to tear them down. The Water and Fire are symbolic of our natural causations that appear in our everyday lives. I call them circumstantial situations. The worry, frustration, sickness, financial concerns, my children all sorts of issues and concerns come to threaten the peace we have found in God. God wants you to know that as long as you have him in your life, you are more than a conqueror. ROMANS 8:35-37
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Let us go into the Old Testament Book of Daniel
The 3 Hebrew Boys: THE FIREY FURNACE SHADRACH, MESHACH and ABEDNEGO. DANIEL 3:14-25
DANIEL IN THE LIONS DEN: DANIEL 6:1-28
DANIEL VISION OF THE 4 GREAT BEAST: DANIEL 7:1-9.
PSALM 62:1-7
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

HISTORY: A LOOK BACK ON YESTERDAY -TODAY
The Senghenydd colliery disaster, also known as the Senghenydd explosion
(Welsh: Tanchwa Senghennydd), occurred at the Universal Colliery in Senghenydd, near Caerphilly, Glamorgan, Wales, on 14 October 1913. The explosion, which killed 439 miners and a rescuer, is the worst mining accident in the United Kingdom. Universal Colliery, on the South Wales Coalfield, extracted steam coal, which was much in demand. Some of the region's coal seams contained high quantities of firedamp, a highly explosive gas consisting of methane and hydrogen. LET REMEMBER THE LOST AND PAIN OF ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS!
On October 14, 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. became the youngest person ever nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. ... For his contributions to the cause, King was first nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on January 31, 1963. LET REMEMBER THEIR IS NO PEACE WITH UNITY IN JESUS CHRIST THE PRINCE OF PEACE! ISAIAH 53:5
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
14 Oct, 1938 Germany Nazi's Attacks Clergy: Adolf Hitler's deputy has attacked the catholic clergy during a massive Nazi rally in Austria telling the cheering crowd of 100,000 that the clergy are seeking to instigate people against the state. Hitler or Christ is not the question, Hitler has never taken a stand against the Church and there is only one Fuhrer and his name is Adolf Hitler, and the clergy should not take orders from Rome but from the Fuhrer. DEFINITION: FUHRER means Leader. Let us remember, The Earth Is The Lords and The Fullness There Of. We take our Instructions from ELOHIM/EL-SHADDIA. We must never compromise our righteousness. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20:3
BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY! STIMULUS CHECKS
When the pandemic sent the world into lockdown in March 2020, many commentators quipped that a mini baby boom would follow nine months later. The reality was entirely different. Financial insecurity, increased parental responsibilities and anxiety about the future, along with other difficulties, prompted many to delay or forego having a baby. Economists are now projecting 300,000 fewer births in the United States this year than would have been expected before the pandemic.
Demographic changes can have economic ramifications. Falling birthrates mean smaller generations of taxpayers will eventually be responsible for supporting larger generations of retirees. Historically, therefore, governments have viewed a declining birthrate as an existential threat, raising the spectre of decline or extinction. The question of how direct government action might encourage a higher birthrate is not new; European governments have been grappling with this question for decades, France foremost among them.
Some government action in this period aimed to make it harder for women to choose smaller families. This included two laws passed in 1920: one making it illegal to sell or distribute contraceptive devices or information; the other strengthening the existing law punishing illegal abortions. There was also a strong push to offer an array of financial benefits and rewards, such as allowances, to families with children. This was in part to incentivise more births and make it easier to support larger families. It was also about encouraging the population to see the process of producing and raising the next generation of soldiers, workers and mothers as a collective responsibility. Such propaganda made it clear that those who chose to have few or no children – and it was usually presented as a choice – would have to help support the children of more prolific households. It depicted exhausted parents raising large families in squalid conditions, while childless couples lived in luxury, an injustice that could only be corrected through family benefits.

God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: KNOWING GOD - WORKING FOR GOD MY RETIREMENT
Sister Robinson
Elder Douglas
This morning Sister Robinson joins me in encouraging the Lost and The Found to Trust In The Lord with All your Heart and Lean not to your Own Understanding.
If you are a child of God, you are and hope you are working in the vineyard. I pray you are putting your time in. God has plans for your future, while you are working for God, God is planning your future. In fact your future is already predestined. See God does not want you to be concerned about your days to come. This is not what he wants us to be concerned about. God wants us to assist him as he builds his kingdom. We are kingdom builder, labouring doing the will of God. God now has prepared a RETIREMENT PLAN for all your faithfulness. Yes it's all set!
You will here how God views his people, those who work tediously, faithfully for him. Those whose Heart is Perfect towards Him! [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great
commandment.
Did you know from the day you said yes to God, He has purposed to prove his faithfulness to you.
2ND CHRONICLES 16:9
9] For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
The second part of this Scripture is for King Asa who went to the enemy seeking help instead of going to God.
Verse 9 continued:
Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
JERIMIAH 45:1-5 BARUCH, JERIMIAH'S Assistant was worry about his future and God to Him all is well.
Scriptures To Meditate On
ISAIAH 26:2-4
2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4] Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
PSALMS 23:1-3 1] The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

53] And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
54] And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55] And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56] And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: THE CHOICES WE MAKE IN LIFE!
THE ATMOSPHERE IN YOUR LIFE!
When week live Independent of God in our lives we live dependant upon ourselves. This Type of living will always reap for us destruction. You have the ability to control the outcome of situations, circumstances and problems by one important choice you make. That choice is afforded to us by God ELOHIM. The Choice To Live Your Life Trusting In Jesus or In Yourself. The choice to Live Righteous Lives according to God or a Life of Unrighteousness Living your way, worldy according to the ways of man.
[PROVERBS 14:12] “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Our way of Living is blind because we don't know what life has in store for us. So we cause ourselves un needed stress and pain worry and frustration without any help in sight because of the choice we made. Our Trust should be in God the Creator of all Things,
COLLOSSIANS 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. PROVERBS 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
The lesson today gives examples of true occurrences that happened when man chose to be against God, even spoke against God questioning the benefits of living God's way verses the world. We are encouraged by the scriptures the things we should not do and those things we should do. Follow along and be blessed. 1] MALACHI 3:13-15, 2] ISAIAH 55:9-12,
3] ISAIAH 5:20-25, 4] JUDGES 1:1-7 THE BEGINNING OF VICTORY THE BEGINNING OF NO PEACE BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE.
5] MALACHI 3:16-18, 6] JUDE 1:17-25
Study the scriptures given and allow God to reveal to you the pattern of Life In Jesus name amen!
