Greeting my friends, grace, and peace to you in the name of the Father and The Son and the Holy Spirit. I consider it

an honor and a privilege that God has allowed me to share with you concerning the stubbornness because of sin’s influence in

our lives. Thank You, Lord Lead me and guide me that I may stay focused and express your word to your people in which I am also one.

Thank You In Jesus name Amen.

According to numbers 21:8,9 the people made a lot of complaints against Moses and God.  As a result, God sent fiery serpents among

the people. Many of them were bit by the serpents and many of them died. The people cried out to Moses and informed him that they had sinned

against God. They asked Moses to Go to God on their behalf. God instructed Moses to erect a serpent on a pole and place it into the middle of the camp,

And anyone who gets bit by a serpent all that person has to do is look at the serpent on the pole and they will live. The people were so stubborn they wouldn’t even

look at the serpent on the pole to save their life. God provided them with a way to save their lives and many of them wouldn’t take it. They couldn’t believe it.

Jesus spoke of this with Nicodemus. The problem of disbelief. Jesus told Nicodemus, you must be born again. Nicodemus asked Jesus How can a man be born again once

he is old. Can a man go back into his mother’s womb?  Jesus explained to him that his thinking is all messed up. It is difficult for him to understand because he doesn’t

understand natural things, how can he understand spiritual things. Jesus explained to Him that he needed to be born again spiritually. Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Jesus went on to tell him just how to get born again. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life.

Just like people wouldn’t look at the serpent, they won’t believe that God sent His Son to die for their sin. Jesus said, “And if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all

men unto me “( John 12:32). There comes a time in life when we have to use the ability God gave each of us to reason. We must use our ability to reason and trust God, and not ourselves.

There shall be no salvation apart from the cross. You must come to Jesus.  People are going to be stubborn and resist, they can’t help it, because of the evil influence of sin in their lives.

Gods’ word is so powerful that it will not come back void. Don’t be discouraged you serve the awesome, Living God. Thank you, my friends. Thank You Jesus Amen.

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him. (Matt 21:28-32).

Greeting my friends’ grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

I thank God for you and the privilege He has given me to share His word with you. I pray Lord that you keep me focused

on the delivery concerning the choices we make. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus name Amen.

Brothers and sisters these two Son that Jesus is speaking of gives us a perfect contrast to compare and choose.

The first Son just said right away, “no” whatever His problem was he was perfectly honest in his response to his father.

No father I’m not going to do it. He knew he should have done what his father wanted him to do but he didn’t care.

He didn’t try to hide it. He just did not want to do it and made the conscious decision that he was not going to do.

Later He thought about it, he probably thought this is my dad who asks me to do this work. He has been good to me,

He provided for me, he made sure I had everything I needed to live a decent life free of worry or danger, or hunger and even now

loves me unconditionally. I am wrong l change my mind, I will do as he asked. The scriptures seem to allude to this son representing

the people who have no interest in pure religion. They do not fear God, and they don’t pretend to. There is no hypocrisy about them.

They know they are sinners and they will tell you that.

The second son said “I go Sir” and went not. He said one thing and then acted in the opposite direction of what He said he would do.

His actions were not consistent. There is a contradiction in what he said he was going to do and what he actually did. there was a contradiction

in his promise and his performance. He was deceptive, he gave no indication that he had no intention of doing what his father wanted him to do.

His composure and his words were a lie. He professed obedience and had no intention of obeying, therefore he was a hypocrite.

Both sons were in a dangerous position. Their characters were different,  opposite each other. they were different in thought and word.

Their difference answers were only an indication of varieties of sin.  The first Son was bold, guilty of rebellion. The second son was cowardly.

the first son neither promised or meant to obey. The other son promised obedience but intended not to keep his word.

Looking at it from this point we have no reason to prefer one son over the other. It is in their ultimate act that they were different.

The first son after a blunt refusal repented of his sin and went out to labor for his father. The other promptly promised but failed to

perform.  His brother changed from bad to good, but this son was not changed from good to bad, his attitude was pre-determined’

he had no intention of changing. These two sons represent two different types of people. The first represented the harlots and the publicans and all

the people John the Baptist preached to, they lived in open rebellion, publicans, tax collectors, harlots, they were sinners and they knew it.

The second son represents the religious leaders, who wore garments to give the impression of religious order and prominence.   But they were as far from

God as the outcast. Professing to be the Lords, yet they were disobedient and rebellious in all the deep facts of their lives.

We must be careful not to allow ourselves to think we are more than we really are. If we are  Christians it is because we are sinners who repented and believed that Jesus

Christ died on the cross for our sins and based on that fact we ask Him to forgive us, and as a result of that God gives us eternal life. The only difference between the

saved and the unsaved is not that we are not sinners, because we are, we were born sinners. The difference is that we repented and believed on Jesus Christ and asked Jesus

to forgive us, And He did. My friends tell others about Jesus, We all have to come the same way,  Jesus Is the Way.  help them to understand, their lives depend on it. God bless you.

If you read this message and you have made a decision concerning your life, and God, Contact me, allow me to help.

Blog my post. thank you and God Bless you

Greetings my friends Grace and Peace to you in the name of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God for you and the opportunity to share with you about the return of the King, The Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ.

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed

of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  (Matt 25:31-34).

On that day my friends a great trumpet will blow, the trumpet was used in the old testament to call God’s people together for,  either war, worship,

or instruction. on that day the trumpet will call all of God’s people from across the world. That day which use to be referred to as the day of the Lord

is going to be a day like no other and shall never be another day like it. On that day, when the trumpet blows suddenly all who did not choose Jesus will

suddenly realize that they made the wrong choice. On that day it is going to be rejoicing like never before. there will be wailing and despair. The King is going to give

an inheritance to all who were saved, which He prepared before the foundation of the world, Afterwards, the king is going to turn His attention to those who are

His enemies and He is going to give them their inheritance. They will be cast out into outer darkness, and the Lake of fire, there will be no hope for them, there will be no mercy.

God will not change His mind. Those who are disobedient and refuse to accept God’s gift of eternal life will be thrown into the lake of fire, they will suffer for

the rest of eternity. This is why it is so urgent that we reach out to tell as many people as we can about Jesus Christ. The King is coming back, just as it has been prophesized.

When he gets here it will be too late.

There is no reason that it couldn’t happen at any time. It could happen tomorrow or even today. Everything in God’s program that had to happen first

has happened.  The next thing to happen in God’s program is the triumphant return of the King.  Brothers and Sisters, you must for your own conscience sake

reach out and tell as many lost people as you can. So that when that day comes you won’t say I could have told them about Jesus, God forgive me, because I didn’t tell them about

your mercy, and your grace, I didn’t tell them about your love, I didn’t tell them about Jesus.

Friends, if you have not been saved don’t waste any more time, don’t be afraid, Jesus will not turn you away, He will save you. Anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord

shall be saved (Romans 10:13). If you believe and you don’t know exactly what to do, contact me, blog this post. Brothers and Sisters, I hope this word of encouragement is

instrumental in causing you to fulfill your duty as a Christain, King Jesus is on His way. Amen.

Brothers and Sister, Grace and Peace to you in the name of God our Father and

The Son and the Holy Spirit. May God bless you with all that you need to live your

life before Him that is mutually pleasing to Him, you, and the community of

fellow believers. Thank You, Lord, for giving me this fantastic opportunity to share your

word with your people, in which I am also one. Please, Lord, keep me on the right track so I may only

communicate what pleases you. Thank You, Lord, In Jesus name, Amen.

1 John 5:9-12 (ASV)
⁹  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.
¹⁰  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

¹¹  And the witness is this, that God gave us eternal life, which is in his Son.
¹²  He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

Brothers and sisters, you are warriors of God, not with weapons that shed blood, but with weapons of truth.

Not of something you think may be true, not something that sounds good, although it does appeal to the soul.

But the truth you are handling is from the source of all truth. The truth you are equipped with has brought kings

down off of their thrones, has destroyed cities, and has rescued millions from their oppressors. The truth you have been entrusted with is sharper than any two-edged sword.  God has entrusted us with the truth so that we may use the truth to reach out to the lost.

God has given us the truth so that those held captive may be free. Free from the grip of sin and death.

People are so quick to believe the testimony of people who are capable of twisting the truth (lying) rather than believing God, who cannot lie. God in His Great wisdom created a wonderful world, beautiful in every respect, God created creatures of all type that were wonderful, and gorgeous. God created the heavens, and the Angels, God created man, in his image. A creation that is considered the crown of his creation. A being who can communicate with Him, a person who shares some of His attributes. God created a being with an intellect, emotions, and a will like Himself. God loves His creation God know all things before it happens, and God knows man’s weaknesses and God knew the man is going to Sin and fall from grace. God loves us so much that He planned before time to rescue His creation by sending the creator Himself, His Son, to take our sins upon Himself and die in our place.  Because the penalty for sin is death, death of the spirit, and death of the body. Spiritual death is the spirit being separated from God. God hates sin and cannot look upon it; therefore, the person who sins can no longer communicate with God because they are spiritually dead.

It is God’s Plan from eternity pass to send His Son to die on the cross for the sin of man who God knew was going to sin so that man could be reconciled and restore their relationship with God. This restoration is based on the sacrifice of His Son; God removed the barrier that separated us from Himself and gave it to all who believe in the work of His Son. God has set guidelines for people to follow

for their salvation and eternal life. That life is in His Son, and you who are saved know this is true. This is God’s testimony: if a person doesn’t believe God,

they may as well dig their own grave and start burning because they are calling God a liar.  God is so good He will even forgive you for that. God loves you so much, and He gives you every opportunity to receive salvation. Here is the bottom line: He or she who has the Son has the life, and He who has not the Son Has not the life.  My friends’ warriors of God, don’t allow Satan to convince you that there is another way

 , causing you to turn a blind eye to what God wants you to do; God left it up to you. Jesus said I Am the way, truth, and life, and no one can come to the Father except by me. Well, now you have it. Jesus told us that God so l; love the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe on him shall have everlasting life. If God has allowed you to be reached, and you don’t know what to do,

allow me to help you; that is if you want to be saved. God’s word says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. It is with your mouth that you confess and with your heart that you believe.  If you have now decided to confess Jesus in your life, you have decided to change your life for the Good forever. Don’t be afraid you have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Once you confess, you will be saved and receive God’s gift, not when you die, but right now. Pray this prayer with me. Lord, I am a sinner and seek forgiveness, I believe in your Son Jesus Christ and the work that He did dying on the cross for my sin God I ask you to forgive me. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’s name, I pray, Amen.

Contact me.  God bless you. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus Name, Amen.
