When we moved to our residence now 31 years. For 3 years I never knew the meaning of the street God put us on. Sangre De Cristo.
The Blood Of Christ
The Drugs Of Today have the potential of creating addicts and death at a far faster pace.They start out as a socializing aspect.You think you're in control, you think you can quit at anytime. When you find out that was a lie...then they come for you. Especially the new drugs that are coming out today at an alarming rate. Their only purpose (goal)is to psychologically disarrange your mind, while ultimately seeking your life. Sometimes your first time is all the drug needs of you.
They Are Not Your Friend
No bible, No pastor, No church, No Christian friends...just the man's way of thinking, if you talked about God you were weak.
Has to do with Lukewarm, Never knew you ,cold and hot, kingdom. Stuff like that. But, Never mind, you'll understand this later when Jesus delivers you from your addicitons.
If this candy which you have consumed, would have taken everything away from you the first time. You would have said, "Boy, never going to do that again." That's not how this works, as I'm sure you have found out. It's a slow process. Years later you will say, "Who have I become?" SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
Right now, I say you are at the best place in your life. You are about to be transformed and given a high which no drug on earth is compared to. Thank You Jesus!
Take Hold Of It
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
It's actually worse than that. Most Christians can't even tell someone
why they even go to church. They always say, "Well, I'm trying to get closer to God,
I'm learning." Same thing as saying, "I need to eat better, I need to exercise more."
Usually never happens.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Bold Men Are Rising
On Fire
Are you on fire for Christ? You should be.
Do you know for a fact you will enter heaven? Some answer that question like this, "I sure hope so." If that is your answer...I lament it is not so.
Miracles: I've witnessed many. But the greatest miracle of all is a man/women giving their life to Christ. I've known men who would rather slit your throat than look at you. But to watch them come under the forgiving power of Christ and run around yelling, "Thank-You-Thank-You-Thank-You Lord" is a sight to behold. They become real Teddy Bears. Now they have a testimony.
Short True Story Example:
We live in the mountains but over on the other side is a major city.
And in this city was a Baptist preacher. He has been preaching at his church for many years. I was told this story by a person who attended his church. One evening he was so convicted that he wasn't teaching his people right about Christ. He went into his room, he got on his knees for hours asking Jesus if he was telling his congregation correctly about Him. Well, something must have happened. Because he couldn't wait for the next Sunday to come quickly enough. It's Sunday morning and people are starting to arrive. He's nervous, itching to get to todays topic. He comes to the pulpit, tears of joy running down his face. The congregation looking a bit bewildered quieted down. He falls to his knees and asked for all of them to forgive him and tells them what happened that night when Jesus came to him. "The Jesus I've been telling you about has been all wrong."
You see...he met Jesus. The next Sunday never came for this pastor. The congregation had a meeting during the week, and fired him.
Faith?
Isn't it funny how so many so called Christians have so many disagreeing beliefs. Where do they come up with all this stuff? There is one Jesus right? One bible right?
Some don't believe in tithing even if they have spent years in a church that teach it.
Some don't believe in speaking in other tongues. Others don't believe in healing. Some have said, "Those people getting slain in the spirit is just an act". Why is it, that they become so complacent? And you know what?, They never step out and test to see if these are real or not. They just sit in church week after week after week powerless. I look at faith like Popeye looks at spinach. The more he ate, the stronger he got. You want everything God has for you. I've seen the fruit and many miracles when I tithe, which increased my faith. I remember praying for my grandmother one evening, she was in agony from shingles all over her body. Immediately rebuked this attack and watched the sores right there dry up and heal, automatic increase in faith. My faith went off the charts when I recieved the Holy Ghost. The book (You Don't Have To Die To Meet God) tells of that great battle and victory. Been slain in the spirit, even seen babies slain... WOW!! increased faith there. Have seen many many healings, another increase. God has even shown me sin, no wonder He can't look upon it, talk about a faith increase there. And I have been shown our adversary in person, Yes, with a sober mind. Holy Mackerel, INCREASE,INCREASE!!. I can't stress it enough, you need to James 4:8 God everyday!!! Satan loves it when you just stay where you are. What ever you do, don't get closer to God. O ye of little faith.
We have all seen this in our life times at one point or another. But, how many of you just drive or walk on by thinking, "Good grief dude, get a life." Never once saying to yourself...YES!!! he loves my father. I must go up and talk with him. I need to know his testimony, on how he became so bold to stand there in front of all those strangers.
I'm sure this man at one time had the life you're wanting him to get. But now has the life he wants you to get.
People...the testimonies from such bold warriors as these are off the charts. Funny,
I haven't seen one lukewarm Christian telling anyone about Christ. He Awaits.
The lukewarm Christian is so quick to judge the man holding the sign. But the first words out of a lukewarm Christians mouth is, "You shouldn't judge." In other words, they want the conversation about God to end and end quickly, for they have nothing to say...and definitely don't have the time to listen. Thus, that's why they remain lukewarm. They have and always will make Satan's life easier. You don't have to stand there and hold a sign. But, don't let the sign in your heart remain blank. People need to hear of this God you say you believe in.
To The Addict
You think you're all alone. You think there is no way out, no where to turn. But you are looking only at yourself. Stop for just a minute and lets see how Jesus sees you. He has known you while you were in your mothers womb. He knows what makes you happy and has been with you in your fears. He sees how you have been struggling, He is also aware of all your sadness. And since He gave you free will, He only wishes you would choose Him. He is right beside you right now with His hand extended saying, "I Love You, Come As You Are. Come and I will make your path straight. Let Me show you the Life I have had planned for you from your beginning. You have been robbed enough. I will return 100 fold what the adversary has taken from you. Your new life starts now."
You might think you're the worst person on earth. But you're not even close. Sadly, in Jesus' eyes, you are not alone. You're no different than the man down the street who is married with three kids. Has a great job, never drank, took drugs, cussed, cheated, or even lied. You see, in man's eyes, he's what others hope they could be. But that's what man without Christ strives for. And don't put this word Christian on to high of a horse to which you can't climb up on. For many so-called christians are also in this category. They don't know Christ, you don't know Christ...are you not in the same boat? So your dilemma at the moment is joined and surrounded by those who call themselves good. You see....these people have no reason for a life change. They are very content just where they are. You however, need a life change, a blood transfusion if I may. I only wish I were there to witness what God is about to do in your life. Thank You Jesus!
Don't think you have to get better to call on Christ. Since when have you got cleaned up to take a shower? Like I said earlier above, you are right where you need to be. You are at a better place than many Christians have ever been. You are at a place where Christ can now open Himself up to you. It doesn't matter if you have never been in church, heard a sermon or even opened a bible. Since you have arrived at this location, your choice will be confirmed. Now your cry for help will be from sincere lips. Since you have tasted the love of Christ, and if by chance you fall a few times. You now have something you know is bigger than life to climb back up to. As you can see, yourself is not enough, your family is not enough, your friends are nowhere, not even your loving pet can fill this void. Christ Awaits.
Some Christians and even bible scholars are pretty strange birds. Some would look down on you for being addicts, most will not even know how to talk to you. That's fine, do not pay any attention to these people or remember how they acted in the past. Heathens know more about how a Christian should act than the Christian. But, Satan's warfare of today is to make sure Christians remain silent, for if they open their mouths they will look like fools to the lost. Great lie of course, but he really doesn't have to work that hard since they rarely ever have anything to say anyway.
NOW!!!! Immediately and I mean immediatley! You have now just ticked off the adversary that has had you for so long. He is not happy at all that you left him for Christ. You need to get with Born Again believers. You need to read God's word. And you will know what church to attend, because the Holy Spirit which is in you will let you know which one He's extremely exalted at. In you now is the knowledge of the saving grace of God.
And may I say one more thing?...Please hurry up, we need more WARRIORS!
In this photo we are actually seeing the so called Christian
rooting for the gay movement and they don't even know it.God
gave man free will (to choose).
These people want to take away that free will of them ever coming to know Christ and send them immediately to hell.
Once again we have people calling themselves Christians and know nothing about Jesus.
TRUST ME!!! there is a hell!
But what is so sad about all this is...
These people calling themselves Christians might very well end up sharing the same cell with those they condemned to hell.
Do you carry a sign like that in your heart?
Christ Doesn't
Hey Christian...Are you, or do you think you are not part of the 60 plus percent?
This is how many of you Christians live
your lives. Actually, no different than
before you started calling yourself a
Christian. Satan is at peace in your
heart.
The Christian who has truly given his or
her life to Christ. Now knows satan's
primary goal. And that is to keep you thinking as you have been, little as possible about God.
NOTE:
Getting to know God more doesn't mean
more studying, more reading more trying.
It's letting Christ have control of your heart.All that will come after.
Then lets expand on it a little further. I know what your thinking. Who do I think I am?
What are my credentials to seem so bold? Well, that's easy. In a sense, I have none from a human perspective. But in a greater sense, my credentials are established from the highest Professor of professors. For I know personally whom you study. He wants to be boldly known.
Lets get back to the one holding you back all these years. Have you noticed in the headlines lately about the drag queens performing at the libraries? How the kids sit with amazement, smiling and singing along. That's how it is with some of you at church. You have never been any where else except that church for years and years. Same pastor (drag queen) and you think it is right. Just like the little kids think the queens are right. They know no better and to know better doesn't even enter their minds. To the kids it's the singing, dancing, laughter, good friends, everything except: why does the man dress as a woman? Don't bring that up, that would destroy the great fun and they wouldn't understand it. You see, that is how satan works in you. The lukewarm christian will always look for a church that he/she feals comfortable in.
No, it's where satan feals comfortable. He has trained your thoughts your entire life and you take him every where you go. You don't want to go to that church because they do this. You don't want to go to that church because they do that. Music to high, sermons to long, there is no cross, there is to many crosses. And you think it is you thinking all those thoughts. If you're in a church that doesn't give 2 cents about satan, you should run. But, you see, you won't, because satan doesn't like running. He doesn't want you to know there is more to God than you're being told. Don't take this personally you're not alone, you're among millions who have not met Christ. I Must admit, satan is doing a fine job. Univeralism...now satan has convinced many so called Christians there is no hell. All will go to heaven. You see where we are going here. All because you are content with where you are with God. A lot of blame goes on the pastors here. A lukewarm pastor creates lukewarm christians. He does them no good. GET OUT!!
But, how could you tell if the pastor is the problem, I mean how could you. Satan sure isn't going to tell you, he loves it there. I've had many Christians tell me that they don't give satan the time of day. It's funny, because within seconds I see him all over you. I could give you a vision that God gave me about satan (sin), It is beyond horrible, but you couldn't handle it. Until you come to Christ will such a vision be understood and believed. Yes, there are people out there, bible scholars, phd bible history professors, phd Christian counselors, I know plenty. But what I see in them is only intellegence. They have good memories on the subject they have been taught to obtain their degrees. But lack CHRIST!!! They can tell you everything about Paul, Luke, their travels, dates, times, history, things you've never heard of, things that don't matter. But, I could never get one of them to whole heartedly tell me about the Jesus in them. Just wasn't there.
Your kids are alive, your wife speaks with you everyday. Do you just sit there and study them
day by day year by year, taking notes? Do you take those notes and have your friends read them, and pass them out for later studies? Didn't think so. So why are we studying Christ like He is some history book? Satan loves it though, he knows it has got you no where. And he is also very content on you not even stopping to look within yourself. Satan is probably the worlds best fire fighting company. He is quick to douse any spark that may rise up about Jesus. He's filling his pail as your reading this. But, he has only a limited water supply. Once the spark becomes roaring flames...Hallelujah, you are out of control, only 1% contained.
HE'S ALIVE!!! HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN, NOT STUDIED.
So, if you have the guts, give satan a wake up call..it's time to kick him out!
Meet Christ...then study your heart out if you want. You will want to then with a whole new heart. Satan will tell you when you're in the right place (church) or not.
Jesus will let you know if you are in the right place (church) or not.
FREE!! FREE!! FREE!! FREE!!
How Much Does It Cost To Go To Drug Rehab?
Well-known centers often cost up to $20,000 for a 30-day program. For those requiring 60- or 90-day programs, the total average cost of rehab could range anywhere from $12,000 to $60,000. Outpatient programs for mild to moderate addictions are cheaper than inpatient rehab. Many cost $5,000 for a three month program.
I've known plenty of family's that have gone down this road. And to my knowledge, they got the parents for a healthy bill, but the addict?...nothing changed, actually they became worse. There is usually only a 2% cure rate. Our adversary loves it. Take down the whole family at the same time he's destroying part of it.
But we have all heard the saying, "The Best Things In Life Are Free."
Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
John 8:36
New International Version
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
The Cost Is Nothing...He Already paid It For You...All It Costs You Is A CHOICE.
A future client showed up at my office for the scheduled morning appointment. He hadn't sat down for more than two minutes and said this, "WOW! I can surely tell you are a Christian.
Look at all those paintings of Christ hanging on the walls. Check out the properly staged quotes every where, Ha! even your writing utensils give glory to Christ. I know for a fact, no one does all this if they don't have some testimonies under their belt. Let me tell you a story. I have a friend which has been my friend for over 35 years. He flew out to see me last year from New York. He's a very established business man. He flew all the way out here to Albuquerque New Mexico, to tell me how Jesus saved him last week. That's great and all, but do you know what really got me? It's, that he thought I didn't know Jesus Christ. You see, I am a
Christian, but it sure woke me up, that my closest friend after all these years, couldn't even tell. He came to share with me the powers of Jesus Christ. Trust me, now when someone talks to me, or comes through my front door...They see that my God is ALMIGHTY!!!
Many of you will see yourself in this.
A Christian man who attends church regularly, studies his bible daily and meets for the weekly bible studies,
had his store robbed. The policeman said they had the thief in the back of the squad car. The angry Christian man said he wanted to go out to the car and give him a piece of his mind. The policeman said that wouldn't be a good idea. He will remember you, and maybe come back after you. I stopped by and mentioned to the Christian man...Since they have him in the back of the car, why don't you go out there and tell the thief about Jesus, you know...the Jesus you say you worship. The angry Christian man made the wierdest face against me, like gasping for air or something and said this to my shock. "THAT'S YOUR JOB!!"
You see, this Christian man, has never experienced forgivenss from Jesus. All he does is go to church, study his bible and go to bible studies. So, according to Jesus, this man does not get to be forgiven.
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive
your trespasses.
The Christian man had no testimony to share with a lost soul. But sure had plenty of flesh left. Like I've said, you can read, listen and study all your life and get nowhere. The robber was there, the Christian was there...But not one sign of Jesus being there. Poor robber missed his chance to hear about Jesus.
When you have been forgiven of your sins, you truly know why people do what they do, they have not experienced their sins being forgiven. And you want so bad for them to meet Christ as you did. It's Christmas Eve and all our water pipes are frozen up. Sent my wife to get some Kerosene
at the only station open 20 miles away. One hour later my wife calls screaming...She could barely speak, she said a man ran up to here and took her purse. My truck was in the shop, so you can imagine what I was going through. Nothing I could do to help. I was just stuck pacing back and forth thinking what I would do if I got my hands on this guy. But those thoughts lasted for only 2 minutes. I got on my knees and told God what I wanted to happen next. Lord, you love this man as much as you love me. Inside the purse is my mobile phone with 7's written all over it. My wife has many things in there that represent you. Let this man see all these things and be convicted by you. There is no need for this man to be caught. Have him drop the purse off behind a store and call the gas station and let them know where he put it. My wife returned home a couple of hours later after dealing with the police. We went over the entire evening again. The phone rings it's the police officer. He says, "Maam, we just received the strangest phone call." The person who took your purse said he left it in a dumpster in the back of Church's Chicken. We are on our way to get it. Everything was still in the purse even the $270.00 we didn't even think of.
That's how you forgive..........you forgive, because you have been forgiven. AND KNOW IT!!!!!!
Look at all the testimonies here...big one for myself, my wife got one, the policeman got one,
the gas station attendant got one. And can you imagine what the thief must of thought. God is alive people. That is one of hundreds of testimonies. Get your flesh out of the way and kill it.
Years ago when I got born again I knew a few satanists. They told me, every week they went out and prayed at all the stores throughout the country. They would pray and lay their hands on the alcohol, the playboy magazines, the pills...actually anything that would hender the Christian from getting closer to God. They seem to praying more than the Christians did. It must be working, because I am bewildered at what the so called Christian is letting into the church today in the name of God. Instead of being of help to the lost, they are just climbing into bed with them. A bed both will share in eternity seperated from God.
It's getting hard to tell the difference between a man and a woman these days, as it is a Christian and a satanist. The lukewarm Christian really gets mad when you tell them they are no different. I get it if you are 6 to 8 years old. But the majority I speak with are in their 70's. WOW!!!! Look, it's this simple people, if your pastor won't tell you, then I will. There is a hell, who goes to hell? Exactly...those who have not made God their Lord and savior. So, the way these lukewarm Christians think about things these days, are no different than what the satanist's believe along with many cults, who have not and never will make God their Lord and savior. You are no longer a peculiar people. Once again we are where we are today because of the lazy Christian. But, the lazy Christian doesn't see it that way. They are starting to see God the way the unbelievers see Him. They are accepting a powerless God.
Well, God is not going to stand for it, and I wouldn't want to be on that lacking end. Trust me, I had a lukewarm Christian 60 years old and a satanist 26 years old in the same room, the questions asked and the answers that followed were of no difference. Each one knew very little about Christ. But the 26 year old satanist got saved and left the 60 year old lukewarm Christian in the dust. Why? Because the satanist now found the truth and knew immediately he was wrong all those years. The 60 year old remained steadfast in his lack of knowledge. I find it harder to get through to a lukewarm Christian than I do a full blown, extremely hardened, self centered, hating atheist. "Depart from Me"...those are words I surely don't want to hear from Jesus and I surely don't want you to hear those words. But, you individually should be more worried about that than I. Please people He Awaits...He doesn't want none to perish. Don't be the one who perish's. His word you read...is for you to change...His word will not change for the changing times. It's time to choose...Are you for Him?...if not, you are automatically against Him. Come to Him, His love that awaits for you will put your fears into perspective.
You will no longer be afraid of death, loosing your job, your kids or wife/husband...because
the fear that horrifying fear of perishing which exalts all those other fears will be taken care of. And you will say...as all do...why did it take me so long? GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!!
My Pet Peeve: You are probably wondering why I keep picking on the Christians. Not all, I know plenty who are on fire for Christ. You will to, when Christ delivers you. Yes... you will know you have been delivered. You will experience God's love. Yes... you will actually feel His Love. You will receive forgiveness from all your sins past and future. Yes...you will know this. You will want and receive all of God's gifts. Yes...since you've tasted His goodness from the things that were mentioned above, you will want more and more and more. His word will constantly be on your lips. You will not be able to shut up about Him and after awhile this question will appear in your thoughts.
WHY AREN'T ALL CHRISTIANS THIS EXCITED?
Exactly! Now you're getting it.
I believe God has called me to make warriors out of the lukewarm Christians.
I got saved April 10th 1988. Yes, radically saved, like you will be. Feels like yesterday.
So, here is my Pet Peeve...I went through 12 years of pure hell, a hell none of you have been through. My family is Christian, and at that time were lukewarm. Bless their hearts for praying, I do know that helped.
Here is an example of a guy who was in his sixties at that time. Always went to church, always. Probably in church right now. He caught up to me as I was driving down the road. I was higher than I've ever been, just purchased some demise and paranoia was at it's peak and now I have to stop and visit. Yes, I wanted to put the pedal down and run, but I pulled over. He came to the window and as he saw my sweaty distorted wild eyed face, he said.
"Rick, next time you fill the need to get drugs, please come and see me first."
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? Come and see him... Right.
I looked back on this after I got saved, and it baffles me. Lord? Why didn't he tell me about YOU!!!! Heres a man that goes to church all the time. And today, if you bring up God, he changes the subject, apparently still has nothing to say about this God he believes in. But hey, he's in church. Plus, my mother took me to a Christian counselor one evening, trying the best she knew how. Again nothing. Nothing about the POWER OF THE SAVING GRACE OF JESUS.
So...there I went off into 12 years of pure hell. WOW! It was so horrible beyond belief.
You can be assured...That Won't Happen On My Watch for someone else!
Oh...By the way, my mother was there when Jesus came into the garage that night, experiencing the over flow of His presence. NOT LUKEWARM NO MORE! Hallelujah!
To The Lukewarm Christian
The word Lukewarm is only used for those with this present understanding.
Actually, I wasn't going to do this section. But after a week had gone by, the thought reoccurred...Lukewarm Christians don't think they are lukewarm.
I'm not questioning their salvation. Just want them to seek the One more and more to whom they have received this salvation by grace.
Most likely everything that I have said on this website will go over a lukewarm Christians head.
But will be praised and understood clearly by a true Born Again Christian.
My time at Teen Challenge 31 years ago was no where luke warm for Christ. One year there was more than a life time compared to lukewarms travels. We called it God's Boot Camp.
Every morning we went to the chapel and prayed. Then off to breakfast. Then go to class and study till noon. Then back to prayer. Get cleaned up head off to church. Come back and go back to class and study till evening. Hurry to get cleaned up again and go off to the nightly church service. Come back and head into the chapel for prayer before bed. Friday we enter the inner city. Knock on all the doors at the projects, hit the homeless shelters and invite everyone to the inner city church for that nights service. This goes on Every single day and week. Then spring comes. Off we go traveling all over the state. Staying with many churches. Seeing the sick healed, leading people to Christ. Constantly in the presence of God. Not one minute out of the 365 days are you ever out of God's hands.
Do you know what makes us WARRIORS FOR CHRIST?
First our testimony. Then....all the things we have seen Christ do for His People and the lost. You physically see it and experience it with your own eyes.
But...a lukewarm Christian will never see these things. Because he is nowhere. He will never see the move of God. Just stays in the simple faith that he is accustomed to. And the thought of advancing their faith never comes to mind.
I have invited plenty of them to healing services, prayer services, Holy Ghost services, bible studies, anything that would boost their faith.
They don't want to come. So...their faith never grows.
They don't listen to Christian music, they don't go to Christian movies, they don't watch Christian television, you couldn't tell if they were Christians when you stepped through their front door, they never put some sort of sticker on their car pertaining to Christianity, they couldn't tell you of a great Christian author and God forbid they ever wear a Christian t-shirt.
Sundays, if nothing else is more important, they might show up to church and quoting John 3:16... well, that might be all you get out of them. Actually, this might be harsh to say, but some times I can't tell the difference from a lukewarm Christian and someone who is attending a satanic church.
Some have even told me they don't believe in satan or hell. WHAT? Our will which God has so freely given us is as powerful for Him... as it is used for Satan. How can God be so loving and send people to hell? First off, He doesn't send anyone. The power of their free will in which they chose, instead of choosing the knowledge of their great Lord, created that concrete thought in their minds, with no evidence what so ever of it's truth. Many take that to their death beds...Actually, now they have died twice (Romans 1:28). They will now live for eternity in that second death. Jesus is waitng to change that mind set.
I've witnessed many satanic warlocks and witches come to Christ. Why?...because I was there. I also have known men who have been so troubled. That they shut themselves off in a room or went out into the desert for days and nights with no food or water, willing to die if they don't hear from Jesus. Guess what?...Jesus has always showed up. Depends on how bad you need to hear from Christ I suppose. One year lukewarm maybe...5 to 50 years? My God, who is your pastor?
I want the lukewarm Christian to become bold. But this will never happen until they step out and take God seriously. Sometimes I think this is the only scripture you need. James 4:8----
Draw Closer To Me And I Will Draw Closer To You. When you do this...all scriptures fall in place.
Actually, the lukewarm Christians are starting to look pretty silly to those who are truly seeking the Lord. And they would call this judging. Yep, that is usually their return phrase. Lets see them use that when they are face to face with God after their last breath.
Today...Come Boldly...Christ Awaits Your Return.
What Is Your
Temperature?
Well, I have. So I will expand a little here. Actually talked to one once. He is mentioned somewhere on this site. I went online and was just curious to what it takes to be an exorcist. You have to have a bachelor's degree and be ordained by the church, and something else but I forget. That's funny, a demon could care less if you are educated or are ordained by anything. This is what I've been talking about on this entire site. Theology, man's theology about Christ. If you haven't experienced Christ, then all you have is a theology. But...be very careful, that's why we have so many theologies. The demon's come as angels of light, and make you think it is God. Especially when they see you are heading in God's direction. I know...it sucks. But that's why I keep stressing the importance of meeting Christ.
He will let you know what is real (truth). Trust me...I do not need a degree, I do not need to be ordained, I need nothing man thinks we need to perform an exorcist. I have the power of Christ, as you should want. It is yours to have. Demon's love the religion you have chosen. Man's religion.
POWERLESS IN THEIR EYES.
Are you a fisher of men? If not, then now is your chance. Many lukewarm Christians have died today. I'm sure they are with Jesus...but they definitely didn't bring others with them. I tell you now, this Jesus you believe in wants none left behind. But if you KNEW HIM instead of just believing and KNOWING HE IS ALIVE NOW, instead of saying that when you die and meet Him face to face... You would have that spirit of boldness for today. Do you just attend church and don't give a flip who perishes? Be careful..the line in which you stand may seem right to you, or is it.
There are many lost souls out there at the demon's reach. They also reach for you, but can you tell? Can you feel them? see them? hear them? or are you to numb. Here is a fact in my polling.
10 out of 10 lukewarm Christians can give me no testimony, but think they are right on the money with Jesus. People, it's time to be the demon's worst nightmare, without a testimony you have been their festive meal all your life. I was lukewarm for 31 years, and still would be if I hadn't done what this website is telling you to do. This is your life or your death and God to be truly loved by you....gave you this choice. He Awaits...please choose His life for yours.
My little children, these
things I write to you, so that
you may not sin. And if anyone
sins, we have an Advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous. And He
Himself is the propitiation
for our sins, and not
for ours only but also
for the whole world.
The Casual Chair thinks it is no different than the Committed Chair. Actually, the Casual Chair doesn't really think the Committed Chair even exists. So many Christians just sit casually along. Those sitting in the Confused Chair. Are thanking God there is a Committed Chair, for they know, without that chair existing, they would never ever get to know Christ. Many of us have been confused. We just by-pass the casual Christians all together. The casuals think they have arrived...
Satan Smiles.
No man knows the hour. But when that hour comes, will you be surprised badly?
THE GOSPEL
I've spoken with hundreds of
Christians who don't believe
in any of this. They got that
lid on so tight nothing will
open it. But Hey...Their tight
with God. Actually, they think we
are out of our minds. Why? Just
because we spend more time with Your Father?
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all [Christians], with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being changed [transformed] into the same image [the image of God] from glory to glory [from that of man to God] just as by [the means of] the Spirit of the Lord.
Matthew 15:28
Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish."
And her daughter was healed at once.
For this, Or for that. Well, you know what the first words out of my mouth are? "Why not go to a healing service." The lukewarm Christian never ever does anything to increase their faith. I
mean why not try a healing service, what do you have to lose right? But they don't...they give a little laugh and shrug their shoulders, why all the time thinking you're nuts for suggesting such a thing. The lukewarm Christian needs to get some testimonies under their belt. Oh, they will collect antigues, old cars, baseball cards, have every insurance policy known to man...but going and getting a testimony...speechless. Why do they choose to keep missing out? I'll tell you why. Their God is not very big, their God is just in the dust covered book, their God is only for Sunday mornings, actually, their God is what they have made God to be. Or worse...they listened to someone tell them about Jesus all their life. And they are good with that. God stands waiting to show Himself to you. I've seen many people healed completely. What a beautiful site. Yeah!!!! another testimony for me, for seeing someone healed. Test God and see.
Trust me, God knows how to throw a party. Your fault if you never show up.
My wife knew a warlock. A real warlock, not one of those Tara card wannabes. He knew satan was real, he served him all his life. But he was getting sick of all the evil. So he searched for a bible, got in his van and headed for the desert. Saying, "I know satan is real, but I need to know if God is." Bringing no food or water and preparing to die unless he hears from God he sets out. Well, on the third night, Jesus came into that van and loved and loved and loved on him. WOW!!! what a big testimony, WOW!!! what a growth in faith. My wife couldn't hold back any longer from saying..."I told you so." A few weeks later my wife was helping him move out of his mother's home. His mother was a true witch not a witch wannabe. As he was putting the last of his belongings into his van. His mother was screaming at him from the front door in an awful lanquage. A lanquage not known to man.
But here is the kicker...what made him turn, raise his hand and point to his mother and say,
"In the name of Jesus Christ I rebuke you." What happened next I will leave out.
Remember, he had no pastor, no teachings, no church and definitely no Christian friends.
I know many men who have said in their life. I'm done, I need to know if God is real or not, so I can get on with my life. Guess what? Jesus shows up every time!
Not saying you need to go to that extreme, but at least do something to get closer to your Father and tap into that power. Jesus loves you with your little faith, but don't stay there.
The things Jesus will show you, when you have had enough of nothing happening.
2nd Timothy 3:5
They will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power.
Keep away from such people.
James 2:19
New Living Translation
You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
Do You Tremble?
Many of you have
plenty of testimonies about Satan in your life.
Many of you have
zero testimonies about God in your life.
"Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding."
Do You Know Him?
Have you noticed when you're around other people and they know your a Christian, that is if they know you're a Christian. They start acting all Holy. If for some reason a person lets out a cuss word or a rude phrase, they immediately say, "I'm Sorry" to you. Or you find yourself in a conversation about God and the other person is starting to talk all Godly. Most if not all the time, if you ask these people, "Tell me about this God you say you believe in" Very few words are found in them to express such a thought. Some have been in church all their lives. The majority of the answers I've come across during my visits with Christians is this, "I've known Him since I was a child." Really?...You cuss like a drunken sailor, you whistle at all the girls walking by, the bars don't stay open long enough for you, I've never ever heard you speak about God, you never go to church and you couldn't find your bible if you took a month off from work to look for it.
Please watch the video below to know who your God is.
Look how long it has taken us to come up with over 4,200 religions.
And they are still coming. Think about it. There is only one of you, but there are millions of people who have never met you but have only heard of your name, now each has his own opinion of you. Seriously, how stupid is that?
God has been God way before man came up with denominations. Advice, go
after that one God, find Him by yourself if need be. Remember...When you become born again, you don't automatically become a Catholic, baptist, methodist, etc etc, or any of the many God according to one man's theory.
Back in 1989 a man flew into Phoenix to speak with us about what God called him to do. He owned a few banks in Colorado and one morning God spoke to him and said, "I want you to go to these lost 5 tribes and proclaim My name. When he got home to tell his wife, she had already heard the same request. He sold his banks and headed out. " While this time spent with us, he had already found 3 of them. All the time he was speaking I kept saying to myself, "Lord, please don't call me to go with this guy." He caught every disease there was, bit by many venomous snakes and survived to carry on. He would fly from America to brazil. In Brazil he would take a bus for 500 miles into the wilderness. Then hop into a canoe for another 400 miles deep deep into the jungle. He would paint a red Christian fish on his chest and one on a hatchet and leave it on a stump. He knew he was being watched, and wanted the gift to be related to him. After he made contact with a tribe which could take months of trying, he would get a interpreter. Everytime they told the tribes about Jesus, they would fall on the ground and come up with their hands raised praising God and speaking in a different tongue. No one told them to do this. I was shocked then. But not these days. This happens all the time, especially when we send bibles into China. Some people don't even know what a Jesus is.
A tool, vegetable, car, sky, they have no clue. But when we share the Gospel, many do the same thing...fall to the ground, jump up with hands raised praising this new Jesus they have met. This is Exactly what happened to me when I cried out for God to help me. Nothing better
than getting delivered and watching others getting delivered. PRAISE HIS NAME!!
Once You Meet The Real Jesus, your eyes will open and this will make since.
YES I DID SAY MEET! You don't want to sit there and listen to some Pastor tell you about Him all your life. That's how people will only come to know of Him. And without truly knowing Christ, you could spend your entire life listening to the wrong pastor. Yes, a Pastor who has never met Christ himself, teaching others who have not met Christ. The so called blind leading the blind. Also like not knowing if your doctor is a doctor.
HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN BY YOU PERSONALLY!
If you have to ask that question...maybe you are not. Or you're still in progress. But one
thing for sure is, it doesn't take years and years. For some it is within minutes. Depends on you and your desire for the things that God has waiting for you.
But here is one example that PROVES you are.
No Matter who you are around, all you want to do is talk about God. You are BOLD, you
are confident, for you know you have been saved by Jesus Christ and not yourself. You might start feeling alone, even the one's you know who have attended church all their lives might start to think your becoming pompous. That's their problem actually, you see they have never been born again. But, you know that you know. And nothing will ever change or take away the testimony you now own. Now above everything else in life, you will want all like Jesus does to become born again. This Damascus road is for ALL.
Let me save you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
The wife needs to love Jesus more than she loves her husband.
The husband needs to love Jesus more than he loves his wife.
Yep, it's that simple.
If you love Jesus, your are automatically going to love others more. For now you have the love of Christ.
Four years or more of college to get a degree in Christian counseling, then charge you $85.00 per hour and take months of your life to just tell you that. Silly isn't it?
Some of you will say..."but you don't know my problem"
True.
But just a few lines up, I gave you the solution to all your problems.
Acts 19:15
New International Version
One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?"
EXACTLY...who are you? It's time for the Christian to be known by his enemy. Your Name Needs To Go Here ________
Just one quick example of Jesus's love for you. As much as you say you love your new born child. That love, the love that can break our hearts and give us joy. Is but a drop of water in all the oceans compared to how Jesus loves you. His love is live, you feel it through your core. I have never felt the love others have for me. But, I have felt Jesus' Love.
Bikers For Christ
Talk about Testimonies and Faith
Church I've attended for the past 31 years.
My Favorite Pastor: T.D. Mad Dog Jakes
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Not liking what you're seeing or thinking about yourself?
Satan is always there with pills, guns, rope, water, high areas, glass you name it. He's waited for this moment since your birth. He created assisted suicide.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.
Satan is quickly snatching up his children. ARE YOU NEXT?
He asks the LGBT's to forgive
him...instead of God. This man
was never a Christian. Satan will always let you play pastor as long as you can take it.
Because he knows you will have a flock that follows you. And
those that follow will have also waisted their precious lives. This man had no testimony of Christ, just another reader. Take heed you who call yourself a Christian.
If you have no testimonies and your faith isn't growing from glory to glory, be very careful not to climb into this man's boat when it passes by you. Trust me...it floats by daily.
Please pray for this man's soul.
But This Man chose
not to love God back.
If only... in the beginning the so called Christians I knew, would have told me about Jesus Christ.
Some have said, "I Wouldn't Have Listened" NO! They had nothing to say.
A Lukewarm Christian Is No Good For Anybody.
Doesn't Know God
Doesn't Believe In God
"I'm a Christian and God's OK with me seeing a PSYCHIC" Theresa Caputo
Here we get to see how the lukewarms act. They are standing their ground against this man of God. They remain in their ignorance, but all along knowing what this man says is right.
When you humble yourself, in other words put Satan under your feet for one second and just listen to this man and ask him questions...then you will meet Christ. But it is YOU who keep yourself from this happening. You had better get serious people, your last breath approaches.
Our Adversary also has his Psychiatrists,Therapists, Re-Hab Centers and so-called 12 step programs, godless people helping godless people. I'm sure they mean well. But even if 2% break their addictions but don't have a relationship with Christ at the end of their life. Well...they might as well have stayed in their addictions. I've also known a couple of Christians that are Psychiatists who work for major corporations, but they are not allowed to tell their clients about the saving power of Christ. A few have asked if I would meet with some of their clients and share with them the knowledge of our wonderful Savior. Why?, Because they know Who can really destroy their problems.

Man calls it Rehabilitation...God calls it Re-Creation.
I was still on my knees, praying in the living room and thanking God for what he had accomplished, when the door knob to the front door turned. In walked my mother, home from work. As she shut the door behind her, she quickly noticed I was wiping tears away from my face. She sat down and her eyes began to water. Speaking from a shaky voice she said, “Rick, oh Rick, what are you on now?”
I tried to answer her, but I couldn’t get any words out.
“Rick, we need to get you some help and we need to get it now.”
Stunned by the sudden stop of surging love, I said, “No mom, it’s not what you think.”
My grandmother came out of her room and sat down beside my mother. “Is everything alright?” she asked.
“Everything is fine Grandma,” I said.
I wanted to go back out to the garage to continue my communion with God. As I started for the door leading to the garage, I turned around and saw my mother now standing in the kitchen behind me. She noticed I kept looking restlessly at the garage door.
“Rick, why are you so interested in that garage door? What is out there? Is that where you’re keeping those drugs?”
“No Mom.”
Getting upset now, she shouted with a harsh voice, “Then what is so important about that garage?”
At this time I didn’t know what to do or what to say. I was still speechless. So I waited for a sign, a go-ahead, to see if would be all right for my mother to enter the garage. Mysteriously looking at my mother I said, “Its okay Mom, He says it’s okay. You can come in.”
She was screaming now. “Come in? He says it’s okay to come in? Who is in that garage?”
“Trust me Mom, come with me.”
Many people have written books on their after life experiences in heaven and their talks with Jesus. Not all of us get to share in that brief but glorious adventure. The Lord waits but many never cry out to see and feel His touch on their lives. They only live by the words that leave their mouths, "Yes I believe there is a God".
All of us as we age, long for that innocence we once cherished as a child.
This is a true story which takes you along side a little boy entering adult hood, and to death's door awaiting his final entrance.
You Don't Have to Die to Meet God
He awaits His name to be spoken from the lips of all His children.
Have you ever been touched by God? Have you ever heard God's voice? Have you ever been in God's presence?
Why Not? You say you're a Christian.
A young man is growing up, and as he enters adulthood he is full of shame for what he has caused and what he has become. He’s constantly thinking of what his mother may have been told when he was born.
“Congratulations, it’s a baby boy.” As her tear-moistened smile stated proudly, "Look … My Son."
Always being taught the importance of values, morals, and manners over the years, only to watch them slowly grow fainter in a war waged for an only son’s soul.
What seemed innocent in the beginning was the very poison which led to death and separation. Approaching now was a battle no one saw coming. After many years of living for this adversary, it was time to take a stand or die. What her now-grown son experienced on a cold winter’s night was not just getting life back, it was life-changing. And to think it all happened in the back corner of a single car garage.
Ask Yourself This Question...
Am I A Threat To My Adversary?
Of Faith
Have you seen this figure?
Thousands across the world have.
Many even today.Lets Hope You Don't.His presence entered my room one night.We have all experienced a darkness where we cannot see our own hand. He is darker.
Thousands have titled him, The Hatman
Google It For Yourself.
This true experience with Christ will lead the lukewarm Christians to a stronger relationship and be a tremendous help for those who have not yet met their glorious Savior.
This Is Not
Just A Story...
It Is A Wealth Of Divine Testimonial Deliverances!
Personally, I would choose hands down a True Story pertaining to God over some made up fiction. They are hard to find. And well worth the read. I'm sort of jealous of this man's relationship with Jesus :)
WOW!! If only some pastors would reveal the truth such as this. I've also experienced Gods touch many times in my life and related very well at what took place here.You don't come to know God without coming to know your enemy...they both go hand in hand.Thank you for after 26 years, you shared your story.
I came away knowing more how to fight for what is rightfully mine in Christ. Suicide, Disbelief, Addictions and the attacks of one's soul are pretty much layed out in a sequence which in the end leads to giving Jesus the victory. Now...when it comes to someone I know and I can't get them to listen to what I have to say...all I have to say now is........READ THIS :)
Since I'm not dead, I got more out of this than reading about those who died and went to heaven. I need true knowledge now while I'm alive. Good job!! Praise His Holy Name!

You Don't Have To Die to Meet God by Rick Anderson is a poignant story about the life of the author and his spiritual journey. In his younger years, Rick was more conscious of his environment and those that he interacted with, especially if they participated in drugs and alcohol, but later in life he saw himself slip into a crowd and life where he no longer recognized himself. He then entered into Teen Challenge, a rehabilitation program for men and teenage boys that incorporates a spiritual awareness and relationship with God, which changed his life forever. In You Don't Have To Die to Meet God, Rick demonstrates the trick of the enemy that lurks around and is always ready to cause you to slip into the abyss. However, if you pay close attention, God is there with you through it all. Here is an excerpt that brings the point close to home: Quote: I was in class doing my studies, and I must have forgotten to lock the file drawer to my heart labeled weaknesses. My defenses were quickly breached by thoughts and accusations from the past. Dan was holding his chest and breathing heavily while he walked up slowly and took me in his arms. He was barely able to speak, God told me you were in trouble and it was urgent. He said, Go now! Is everything okay? I just thanked God that Dan heard His voice and acted to provide a way out. Hallelujah to that. God wants a relationship with you; when He knocks will you answer?
I like the simplicity and transparency of how Rick tells his story. You Don't Have To Die to Meet God is an ideal tool for those who feel that there is no hope and are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We must believe that every decision that we make affects our lives in some way or another. No matter what you have done, God forgives and He wants a relationship with you. If Rick's story is yours as well, and you are looking for some solutions and support, getting a copy of You Don't Have To Die to Meet God by Rick Anderson will help you on your way.
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
2nd Timothy 4:3
New International Version
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
That Time Is Now
Both Christ and Satan Are Happy To Take It
Ephesians 6:12
New International Version
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Are You This Way?
2nd Timothy 3:5
New Living Translation
They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
Sad but True Example
Lets use two characters named Bob and Bill. Bob has been going to church since he was drug by his parents. Bob is now eighty two years old.He hasn't missed a Sunday service in all these years.Once in awhile he will throw in a couple of bucks when the plate is passed.He hardly ever talks about God,actually shys away from the subject.Dust collects on his bible from Sunday afternoon to the next Sunday morning.Bill and Bob have been friends since childhood.Bill on the other hand has never been to church... until yesterday.
Being skeptical most of his life, it was time to see why his friend always went to church every Sunday.But Bill chose a different church.
It's been 6 months since Bob and Bill have seen each other.
But today they go out for coffee.Bob sits quietly listening while Bill with tears streaming down his face explaining what God has done in his life.
Bob..."That Sunday I gave my life to Christ, He forgave me of all my sins. I got slain in the spirit, I now speak in tongues, I'm seeing the fruits of my tithes, the bible is the true word of God, I've found a great men's bible study and the power of prayer is beyond belief".
Bill went on and on and on and on giving God the glory for his deliverance....... Bob thought Bill was crazy.
