I read outside 3 1-hour terms. That's why I workout all the time. 1 Corinthians 6:19
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [-] That tells me the better condition I get my body in, the more I can do For the Lord. After all, we are on the earth to prepare our eternity for ourselves. After you get there, you can't return to improve your eternity. [-] 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. [-] Feed your spirit. It’ll help you see what God Almighty prefers. Go by what it wants. A nourished spirit is good to listen to. Mu favorite cousin loved Spiritual Growth books till he killed himself. You have to be a doer not a hearer only. Growth takes doing to get needed exercise. The more you exercise, the stronger you get. Don’t eat greasy foods to get in better condition. Eat a salad everyday. Walk a lot for stamina. The more you do to bless Jesus, the better your future becomes. 1 Corinthians 3:17 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. [-] You are the temple of God. That means don’t do bad habits to be healthier. Be health minded. Drive safely. Do not speed. one time Mom was walking the dog by the lake. An alligator jumped out of the water and tried to eat the dog. It was unsuccessful. There are some things you cannot prevent. But she didn’t walk along the shore much after that. After hearing of a break up in my family with 2 children involved, I thought of PK. I went to their sermon and learned the truth of divorce. Promise Keepers’ mission is to ignite and unite men to become warriors who will change their world through living out the Seven Promises. Promise Keepers’ vision is simply put in three words: “Men Transformed Worldwide.” The world needs a revolution and PK is giving it the right kind of start. Based in Denver, Colorado, Promise Keepers has directly reached more than five and a half million men since its founding in 1990. After you get right with the Sovereign God, you find real life. Real life is in the Lord. No doubt, you are miserable without Jesus. Multitudes more have been reached through books, music CDs, multi-media resources, the Internet, satellite and radio broadcasts. I remember Mom’s divorcing Dad. I was 3. Justin was 1. Justin committed suicide in 06. In 1997, an estimated one million men gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for “Stand in the Gap,” marking arguably the largest gathering of Christian men in modern U.S. history. The guy who got me in PK was always the coolest guy in school. I was in a coma, machines beeping, and he looked at me. At the tm, doctors didn’t think id make it. He asked himself where would I go if I died. He knew he'd go the same place. So he started going to church. Men, you know we're in a war. The battle is for personal integrity, for our families, our cities, and for cultures all around the world. Yet the weapons of our warfare are not worldly or physical 2 Corinthians 10:4 (King James Version) 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [-] It’s us against the foe. the enemy doesn’t like Jesus. We do. If you are knowingly a supporter of God Almighty, naturally the world will reject you. Don’t let that get you down. It should inspire you. We fight this battle as "servant-leaders"; we're a different kind of warrior, this warrior leads by example and by serving. Jesus said the greatest among you would be your servant Matthew 23:11 (King James Version)
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.[-] When we war against the enemy of our souls, we go equipped for warfare Ephesians 6:10-18 (King James Version)
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; [-] When I saw the shift in the world’s disapproval of my Spirituality, I felt more like I am in the right thing. I had already seen the pain in the world. But when we go to his victims, we go ready to heal - as servants. Are you this kind of man? Promise Keepers has led the world in men's ministries since the early 1990's. But now, more than ever, we realize that local men in 365 day ministry are keys to victories. That's why we're empowering and resourcing men who believe that "Real Men Matter." After I learned of my cousin’s baby daddy leaving, all of the enlightenment came back to me about what the family has to have. You might be this new kind of warrior; younger or older - but ready to serve your God and Promise Keepers. We're in the process of developing new tools and resources to assist you and others in this ministry, many of which will be provided to you for distribution at no charge. Since you'll be on our front line of ministry, you'll be one of the first to learn of new PK resources, events and breaking news. And we have a new line of products that can only be purchased if you're an Ambassador. You'll be a limited edition guy. Be an Ambassador. But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God. Acts 20:24 More than ever the devil has leaked into the family. The means divorce is worse than ever. The more I write and the more I get to know characters, the better I see where personality influences decisions. That means I have to be familiar with personalities, & how they effect their characters, & how they effect their traits, & how they effect their behaviors, & how they effect their qualities, & how they effect their individualities, & how they effect their personas. That means I have to study lifestyles to better understand decisions. Then I’ll personify characters better. You have to be careful about communication. In a book I w3as writing, I asked Mom how to spell her boss’ last name. She said Cleir. I sent her a text to tell Jesus Christ, Jamie Cleir, I said hey. When I saw her, she said, yes, she told her grandson Jacobi Sanders, I said hey. I politely said that would be JS. She said, Oh, you were talking about initials. Then she said Jamie spells her last name with a K.That was taken as a lesson. I should've said tell Jamie I said hey. But I heard Jesus say tell the newsletter sometimes, or often, inadequate clarification isn't enough. Don't think people know what you are talking about. I was just working out. As I feel endorphins, unbeatably pleasurable, excellently agreeable, superlatively enjoyable, very pleasing, matchlessly pleasant, I remember saying the guitarist was drumming in the last paper and being told not tot hink of a distraction I started thinking of the 181 women who have rejected me. Being told not to think about it made me want to think about it.

A 1m dollar bill was spent on me after my traumatic brain injury. Insurance was my coverage. Uncle had just unknowingly taken out a policy on me. HMMM!!! I just worked out!!! Furthest enjoyment, outermost happiness, and outmost contentment are flowing through my body due to my endorphins! My stimulus went 1 way pleasure came the other way! Now I love releasing endorphins! The after effect is tiring, especially if you work out a few times a day as I usually do. My stamina is always worked on for my writing. The more you are aggravated by 1 thing, the less aggravating that thing becomes. Women who turn me down turn me off. That was odd. I used to be so scared of rejection I wouldn't ask anybody out. Experiences happen to you to give you a needed perspective. God Almighty wants you to do certain things and the more you Read the Bible, the more help you have to know what God Almighty wants. Just knowing what God Almighty wants doesn’t take care of it. You have to be a doer not a hearer only. Junk food is a huge problem we face today. Many children are eating junk food so much that they're addicted to it. Get addicted to reading the Bible. Don’t make church your god. Only make God Almighty your God Almighty. I have an addictive personality. That can work for me. I'm reading the Bible through for the 18th time. Actually I think 19, but I lost track. More adultery reports are on CNN. The sad thing about the news is the people watching it think they’re getting the whole story and they NEVER get the whole story. Back when I went girl crazy in my early 20s, the only thing I wanted was to be married. From the things I’d heard I prayed for a change in my feelings. 181 rejections later the last thing I want is to be married. I just want to be alone now. Experiences that you go through seem unfair, but you are not looking at the big picture. The experiences give you a knowledge that you couldn't get anywhere else. Free sermons in my blogs myspace.com/michael1house It turns out to be immeasurably priceless skill that is the ONLY thing that’ll get you what you need. That skill will make it possible for you to practice a peculiar understanding that nobody but you has. Do you see how very special that is? To get a familiarity NO human on earth has is priceless. No amount of money will buy what you gained after you shed all of those tears. The 181 hurt like nobody would ever believe when I look at them on the surface, but I have to look within to see, Hey, that's what gave me the perspective I was praying for. Would I trade the perspective for old feelings? No!?!?!? I was praying very, very hard for the perspective I was finally given!!! Women who have turned me down are not in the bad light. They gave me what I was praying for. An all knew perspective. Experiences show you what you’ll be getting if you get what you think you want. I see people walk by everyday and I ponder their Spirituality. Eternity is a bigger deal than anything in anybody’s life. God Almighty has a place He wants you and if you are unworldly, you have a better chance of getting where you belong. You get messages that direct you. But if you don’t read them, you have no idea what you should be doing. After all, if you don’t think God Almighty is in control, you don’t feel like doing what He is saying. The thing going in you is better if it feeds your spirit. The weakest link breaks the chain. Repugnance will turn you against the thing you thought you loved. You thought you needed it, now you see you used to want it very, very badly. Dad was on a cycle of violence. His temper tantrums excreted a chemical that called for another temper tantrum when they were gone. Drugs and alcohol added to the election of the temper tantrums. That’s why I was a wimp, so bullied as a kid, maybe. God Almighty is always giving you messages you don’t pick up on. Please pray for my nephew. He needs prayer. Pray for Jesus to lead and comfort him. 12m. A cold front seems to be coming through Florida. Why does that stand out? Because Florida is commonly warm. Why does Christianity stand out? Because the world is commonly going to hell. He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.
John 3:36 How could You walk when You went down that dusty street
How could You speak when all your friends checked out
How could You love after the great betrayal
How could You reach out when they nailed You down
[Chorus:]
True as true can be
That's what they say You are to me when I'm so fake
Does Your heart ache
If I had been the one I would not have been that strong
If I had been the one, yeah, I'd have been long gone
How could You hang on with Your mama crying
How could You keep on breathing in and out
How could You watch while Your whole world was dying
Did it all happen cause we let You down
[Repeat Chorus]
And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone
All I have to say is when I'm praying
Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
That song I saw on the Web. Listen to more gospel. You’ll find yourself praising the Lord more and more. If you have a healthy prayer life, every demon in hell will tremble wherever you go. Noah’s flood came the last moment because everybody was so busy with everything in their life. There was another Michael House a class down. 92 I was 93. He married the most attractive. I only know rejection. But he has a lawn service. In 93, I had a lawn service. I just looked out of my window and an acre away, I see some children fighting. Maybe it's just play. I was told Windows 7 is better than xp. That may be true, but I don’t have a problem with xp. Therefore I won't be changing anytime soon. Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established. Friction bothers the flesh. I just worked out again and thought. I’ve been doing this 17 years! Endorphins keep me going. Absolutely pleasure, totally enjoyment, and completely delightful. After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask. Sometimes you are unknowingly needing humbling because pride gets you out of the plan of Jesus’. When you get unknowingly humbled, it feels unfair. But how do you get humbled when you expect it and you are ready for it? When I was a 13 year old middle schooler, my aunt and I got hit by a drunk driver. He got out, looked where he hit us, said it was okay, then got back in his car and left. He better be glad my aunt was there. Or I would’ve seen to it differently. Luckily, she called the police, they knew the car and driver, and they took care of business. What if I hadn’t respected a woman’s presence like I do? It had a happy ending. But if she weren't there, it'd been much different. The world is burdened. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving. We live in a brutal, chaotic world. The closer we get to the end, the better paradise looks. People with stakes deeply driven feel unreal panic about everything ending. Sadly, a majority of humans don’t want to leave earth. I know I do. I think a lot about heaven. We will have no idea anything like the world ever existed. Rebellion is rising today at an unbelievable rate. The devil will be defeated and good will reign on earth. Love is what happiness is all about. The most loving people are always the happiest. Are we smarter than we used to be? Did you know the Gameboy’s computer is as powerful as the 1st space shuttle’s computer? People will never be happy with what they have on earth. Adam and Eve had paradise. Supply and demand. Heaven is always available. But millions of people miss out on God Almighty’s grace because of the Lord’s difference with the flesh. When I think of supply and demand, I think of Papa’s land. It had billions of billions of billions of billions of billions of rocks I saw selling for 2 dollars a piece at the Largo, Florida flea market. That’s very, very unbelievable to me. If she were selling lots of rocks like them, I’d done everything to get to Papa’s land. I just had a memory of lunch. I always sat at a table of pretty girls. It was Monday and we were talking about what we did “yesterday.” I said church. They roared in laughter. Not mocking but because the very, very last place you’d picture was church. It was very convicting. That was my Sophomore year in high school. The year I went crazy over a lie and turned against God Almighty. Even though I was backsliding convicting things were still happening to me. I saw the need of an attitude adjustment. How do you interpret things? When you are edified, are you offended? Somebody showed me they were gossiping behind my back. What they said had NO foundation, but the person they’d been communing with was knowingly corrupt. When that happens, they are showing you they too are dishonest. Be careful how you trust them. It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others. If you spend the rest of your life trying to please others, you’ll spend the rest of your life a failure. If you listen to gossip, you are letting stuff get between you and God Almighty’s will. Sensitiveness is closely allied to egotism; and excessive sensibility is only another name for morbid self-consciousness. The cure for tender sensibilities is to make more of our objects and less of our selves. As I was reading today, I looked back and saw a most adventurous past since I moved to Florida. That's because I have read more than ever since I moved to Florida.

John 14:1-3 1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. [-] It’s no joke. Jesus Christ is in charge. Nothing will compare to Jesus. The flesh will blind you. Do everything needed to starve the flesh. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [-] The Bible was written for you. It’s amazing how personally the Bible will individually apply to your life. It’ll leave you breathless. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [-] Right now Jesus is specifically making heaven to suit you solely. When you get to heaven, you’ll be amazed anybody could feel as at home as you will. Ecclesiastes 9: 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. [-] The world is temporal and that’ll never be so real as when you ascend the skies. 1 Corinthians 15:23But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. [-] You are blood-bought. After salvation, Jesus becomes your defense. Anybody messing with you will be sorry about that. 1 Corinthians 15:1 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [-] Wherever you are when the gospel reaches you, don’t discount it for anything less than very, very important. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. [-] When the timing seems all out of whack, be very careful. That’s when you are most vulnerable because it seems God Almighty has no control. Hebrews 2:15-16 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. [-] The Christian is the seed of Abraham and that means they have connections with the most powerful ruler of anything. John 14:1-3Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.[-] Jesus gets territorial if somebody starts hurting His children. 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The world thinks they’re important because they’re selfish. The Christian focuses on Jesus. Ecclesiastes 9:5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. [-] Prioritize. Make Jesus your sole intendment. 1 Corinthians 15:1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [-] Be attentive to how the sermon applies to your life. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. [-] The due time is inevitable and what happens has to happen. Hebrews 2:15-16And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. [-] Jesus came to earth and died a man. Jesus knows your pain one-on-one. He went through every pain out there in 33 years. Jesus was very busy. Matthew 8:23-24
23And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [-] Circumstances will justify relying on self as faith justifies relying on God Almighty. That means when Jesus shows you a path NOT TO take, you MUST NOT take it. If people worship Baal, worship Jesus. They won’t want anything to do with you, but that's good. It makes loyalty to Jesus purer.
Matthew 8:24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [-] Jesus demonstrates what kind of faith you should have. John 16:33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. [-] People lacking the Spirit will lie to you and keep looking for people they can get more off of. Matthew 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [-] Jesus wouldn't tell you to do something you shouldn't do. Matthew 8:26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. [-] You have no reason to fear if you are blood-bought. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. [-] If you have no reason to fear, you have every7 reason to be brave. Matthew 8:26-27And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! [-] IF you are over thinking what you should be doing, you are messing up. Matthew 8:23-24And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [-] If you are the last Christian of the earth, it’d make perfect sense why you are the last person representing Jesus. Matthew 27:51-54And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. [-] After you leave a crowd of people, expect them to commemorate how you represent God Almighty. Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. [-] When you have a mountain that needs moving, angels may be waiting for you to get out of the way to move the mountain for you. Matthew 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [-] You can’t prove God Almighty’s power without relying on Him. Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western World. Simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.
Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity.
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Praise the Lord! Offshore drilling finally began and the dow looks better than it has for 20 years! Mom’s employer has a builder they're trying to impress. It’s a mortgage business. Please pray for the builder to like them. That's why I'm running late. I hit Starkey at 9 till. I pray for the trip to be quick. That prayer is answered. Jesus gets me in my seat and I see the countdown begin. 3:30. no tables are out. We aren't doing the conference anymore. It’s a good day to glorify the Lord. Most of the people haven't arrived. I will worship God Almighty. No matter what the world may put me through I will worship God Almighty. I worship and adore God Almighty’s majesty. With a humble heart I praise the Lord. Through God Almighty the blind will see. I am free to run! I am free to dance! I am free to shout! I am free to live for God Almighty! Through God Almighty the Kingdom comes. Through God Almighty the price is paid. Dancing musicians are making people feel closer to the Spirit. God Almighty is inhibiting outward praise!! The Son has set you free! He who Jesus has set free is free indeed! I know the Son has set me free. I am free indeed! He who Jesus has set free is free indeed! I know the Son has set me free. I am free indeed! He who Jesus has set free is free indeed! I know the Son has set me free. I am free indeed! He who Jesus has set free is free indeed! I know the Son has set me free. I am free indeed! He who Jesus has set free is free indeed! I know the Son has set me free. I am free indeed! Where the Spirit of the Lord Almighty is there is freedom! People are hopping, and singing, and shouting! At the cross, I bow my knee. Where Jesus’ blood was shed for me. God Almighty shields my way. God Almighty’s hand upon me. I know God Almighty loves me. Jesus tore the veil. Jesus made a way. Jesus loves me. Jesus overcome the grave. 19:28 Pastor Anthony reaches the mike. Lose every restriction. I’m reminded of the 181 women who turned me off, rejecting me. Wait, that isn't supposed to be happening. Talk to Jesus about the distraction. Confess your sin. Get it out of the way. Jesus was tempted every way. But Jesus stayed the course. Jesus said, “Not My will but Yours be done.” There's no greater love than this. What can separate us now? Nothing. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Know God Almighty’s love more than ever. Experience God Almighty’s love. Know the comfort, ease, luxury, coziness, relief, wellbeing, security, relaxation, and contentment of God’s love. You have to be before you can do. Let your brokenness be healed because of Jesus. At the cross. Because of the cross. Pray for souls to be saved this weekend. Pray for it worldwide. Everywhere, ubiquitously, universally. People that don’t normally go to church will be here. People are going about their everyday life and have no idea the price Jesus paid for them. They feel helpless. We know God Almighty is loving. We know people are coming and can be touched by God Almighty. Granny was church secretary. I was walking through the church and nobody was there. I was walking by a boat for the children,. I, about 13m, felt an amazing brush of the Spirit and that stuck in my mind like crazy or something. God Almighty has a plan for people that are lost. Pray for no distraction to get in the way. Pray for the fence strattlers. For anything that could get in the way to be prevented. Pray for every person in Pinellas. Pray for Spirit to be poured out. For the Holy Spirit to be poured out all over Pinellas. For the Holy Spirit to be unleashed all over the city. For people to be delivered. Jesus came to set the captive free. Pray for people to be here, seeking God Almighty’s face. For the parents praying for their children. For the children to have an encounter with God Almighty. Feel the flame. Return to God Almighty. Humble yourself. Seek God Almighty’s face. God Almighty is water in the desert. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. When Jesus is lifted up, He draws all men near. Pray for America. Humble yourself and Pray to God Almighty. Pray for Easter. Praise the Lord for all He has done.
And that He will do. When 2 or more are gathered in God’s name, there He is also. Believe. Invite people to the Easter service. Get invitations and cards out. Everybody, invite somebody. Don't miss the opportunity to invite somebody to the Easter service. Old things have passed away and all things have become new. Hug somebody and have a seat. Randy is doing very, very well as drummer. He is a guitarist. So he should be always playing the guitar? But who would drum? Offering. I’m broke. Sahara desert in my wallet. Camels trying to escape. They didn’t know what they were getting into. Pastor Anthony needs a topic to teach. I think of a topic but as I do daily reading the Bible, I always get an answer to my question. I’m glorying God Almighty with my whole heart for the turnoff 181 rejections gave me. Sunday night was the very most people Abundant Life has ever had. I wouldn't sit on or below the balcony for that reason! That’s the truth! We had over 6 hundred people!
Colossians 2:13-15 (King James Version)
13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Communion is Friday.
Abundant Life belcher
Jesus, by His grace, provided a way to wipe out our wrongdoing. Jesus Christ justifies us. Trouble with the police you go in the database. I remember talking about the reckless driver before the sermon and Inez knowing where we live because the police chased me home more than 1nc! Likely a suspect when something happens. Granny saw a policeman in the drug store. She asked why were the police across the street. We live--. I politely interrupted and said I used to have a dirt bike. They know where we live. Officer Inez was laughing, nodding her head. As a matter of fact, the police chased me home. Praise the Lord my papa gave them big donations. Through the Lord we are new, refreshed. We’ve all messed up. Christ Jesus chooses to forget. Our sins are on the bottom of the ocean floor. Jesus remembers it no more. Nail your sins to the cross. Calvary is a great exchange.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (King James Version)
21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him
Jesus takes our sin and gives a gift. Jesus gets our sin and provides a gift. Jesus obtains urn in and offers a gift. Jesus receives our sin and presents a gift. Jesus acquires our sin and burnishes a gift. Jesus seizes our sin and bestows a gift. Jesus captures our sin and grants a talent.
John 19:30 (King James Version)
30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
At the cross there's no condemnation For the Christian. The devil is the false accuser of the brethren. The devil condemns you. The devil attacks you and pulls you from God Almighty. Receive grace and mercy. : God is forgiving my sin on the bliss of His glorious heart
Hebrews 4:16 (King James Version)
16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
I’m the righteousness of God in Christ. Confess with your mouth. Get familiar with the cross. Speak things over your children. They hear it. Sin you had, nail it to the cross. Jesus felt every emotion you ever have. Half the hospital beds are filled because of worries. Speaking negative becomes a part of how you are. A man next door to Pastor Anthony was crawling through a bedroom window. Then when he saw the resident holding a 45, he ran away, scared. Pastor Anthony has his fireplace poker near. If somebody messes with Pastor Anthony’s family, they’d be better off cast into the ocean with a millstone tied around their neck, lol. I said that. Nothing says Pastor Anthony hasn’t got a gun. The fright in the neighborhood got Pastor Anthony and wife much closer. I think of the 181 and feel disgust. Worry and fear are emotions that make people sick. Lack of feeling. Love is the root four our emotions. I think of how overrated sex and marriage are. When there’s love, fear is not there. Our eternal home is secure. Put your trust in God Almighty and angels encamp around you. Put the Bible in front of the motel door and the intruder has to cross over it. Ephesians 2:4

Self righteousness. Legalism. Pride gets in the way. What you did at church. All the deeds you accomplished. You get comfortable in what you did not what the Holy Spirit did.
Colossians 2 (The Message)
Colossians 2
1 I want you to realize that I continue to work as hard as I know how for you, and also for the Christians over at Laodicea. Not many of you have met me face-to-face, but that doesn't make any difference. Know that I'm on your side, right alongside you. You're not in this alone.
2-4I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else. And we've been shown the mystery! I'm telling you this because I don't want anyone leading you off on some wild-goose chase, after other so-called mysteries, or "the Secret."
5I'm a long way off, true, and you may never lay eyes on me, but believe me, I'm on your side, right beside you. I am delighted to hear of the careful and orderly ways you conduct your affairs, and impressed with the solid substance of your faith in Christ.
We need humility and dependence on God Almighty. I think of how very, very humiliating the 181 were and how Lord God used that to change my path. Jesus’ kindness leads us to repentance. In my one on One encounter of God, I felt so humbled by the pleasure that I wanted to return to physical realm. When somebody holier than you is at the altar, it convicts you. Realize salvation isn't based on works or merit. Legalism gets in the way. Realize works of righteousness isn't approval. By grace through faith. Good works don’t make you saved. Fr and revere God Almighty. Don’t take His grace lightly. Don’t have resentment or unforgiveness. Jesus had every reason. He was tried 6 times. Cat of 9 tails. Most people die in the beating. Jesus could've made them scared. I think of a friend, traumatic brain injury survivor. He keeps having seizures. Name, Les. Please pray for him. Jesus didn’t unleash what He could've. He still prayed from the cross. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they’re doing.
To really emulate Jesus in very, very tough times like this… wow! Jesus was mocked as a blasphemer. Martin Luther exemplified his appreciation for grace. He was too glad to be sad about anything. Let all your problems go. Release all resentment. I forget about the 181. Have relationship with boundary. To go back is foolish. It didn’t work there. Learn how to communicate. Let all pain go. Let past go.
Exodus 12
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Philippians 3
1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Life begins when you receive Jesus. Nail guilt and shame to the cross. Be free. The world can’t understand the cross. God Almighty’s grace overcame bitterness. Nail your concern to the cross. Please pray for Papa Lay.

That’s what I' been mailing to churches. I was SENDING A BLOG ADVERTISING Mom’s work in my last name and got terminated. It had 1356 views. I'm trying to get back up to that number. It doesn’t matter how many people view it as long as I'm giving them the truth. The Spirit nudged me to start my ministry when I saw to cover ballgames as practice for writing. I chose church instead. The blessed feeling I got was amazing. I worked at Sonny’s 2 years. Family had me put in a request for vacation. Cousin’s dance contest in Gatlinburg. When manager put me on schedule, I didn’t work. Nor did I go back on the day I didn’t request off. When he called, he asked why didn’t I come back the next scheduled day. I said because I fired myself. The truth is the manager was ready to give me a promotion. Just like Pam’s test I failed his test. I had even gone fishing with him earlier date. Persist no matter what. MY Sonny’s boss even offered me a raise. My college lying about inability to get parents’ permission to drop 1 of 4 very, very overwhelming classes made me go home and inspire to write. That tells me I have a problem with people lying to me. College in Watkinsville. College in Athens. College in Cleveland. I know they all add up for something good. But the stall after all of them isn’t good. Then again, I studied writing more than ever after Cleveland lied about inability to get permission from my parents. I threw my head as hard as I could into a concrete wall. It gave me a headache a week. I wouldn't have done that if I hadn’t been studying so hard. But then my ministry began or took off. It started in 95 and the head butting happened in 96. Maybe it was that 1 week pain that birthed a new direction for my ministry. Maybe it gave me a better perspective to help more people than ever. That's what counts. Eternal jewels are everlasting, undying, unending, never-ending, perpetual, endless, ceaseless, and timeless. When I see my jewels in heaven, I’ll be very, very thankful everything happened like it did to get me where I was on earth. Eternal investments are the very, very most important thing in your life. Eternity is incomparably, unbeatably, matchlessly, outstandingly, exceptionally important. You’ll feel very blessed for blessing your eternity. You get that feeling because God Almighty is saying He likes whist you are doing. Jesus will bless you the more you pray for people. But pray for people because Jesus wants you to. Please pray for Moms work. Please pray for my ministry: Free sermons in my blogs myspace.com/michael1house. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling! Isaiah 52:7 I called Billy to see if I can get a ride to Rock and the Rabbi setup. He said he didn’t know if he’ll go. That he’ll call if he does. He never called. . I don't know anybody else going. "Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation." -JESUS in Luke 20:46-47 You may look like a sissy if you are loving and a man. But God Almighty still wants you to be loving. The more unworldly you feel, the more loving you feel. Love takes care of all the 7 deadly sin. The more you love, the more you bless your eternity. There is more saved the more love you feel and show during your lifetime. A degree of heaven. Is there a degree of hell? Don’t drive your stakes deeply in the earth. Be just a Pilgrim passing through. The world looks more favored on earth because the earth welcomes the world more. The more of the Spirit you have in you, the happier God Almighty is with you. It wasn’t my night for the Bible study. So I’m home, listening to God Almighty’s sweet voice. I just finished my daily reading the Bible. When I started, I knew very conversant verses were coming and these 1 hit hard Job 11:sixteen 16Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: [-] The waters that pass away. Let go of the past. Don’t dwell on unfairness. Let it go. Go forward. I love to think of the 181 women to turn me down. Then I'm reminded we are to be in like minded groups. I read a book about that. I KISSED DATING GOODBYE. The idea was reinforced. I thought the repel felt for rejecters was because they're wrong, then I’m reminded lone dates are wrong. Job 12:21 21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. [-] When I read that, I thought of my little brother’s shiny Ford Probe when he was sixteen and his new life. He was always dating. He got a girl pregnant. Things didn’t fall in place with that ordeal either. Then cousin locked him out, he stole her deceased dad’s guns and ran from the law. Jesus Christ wasn’t thought of. The less you think of Lord God, the worse off you are. Keep it real. Be mature. Take your blame. Take your medicine. When you get on a wrong path and somebody warns you, but they’re not so bright, maybe you should listen to them anyhow. Maybe it's God Almighty sending you a message to rethink what you are doing. It was such a blessing for my aunt and uncle’s retirement home preacher to clarify, hey, it was God Almighty telling me not to date the rejecters. Not only them but anybody. I shouldn't be with anybody not like-minded anyhow. And if they don't want to go out with me, who’s to say it isn’t because I’m madly in love with Lord Jesus? Don’t be with people who love Baal if you love Jesus! A sheep knows the Shepherd’s voice. I’m a sheep. It was His voice. I had started getting messages from the flesh I heard wrongly. But fortunately the retirement home preacher cleared it up. If you are in love with Christ, don’t be with people who don’t love Him. I realize sometimes people will try to inferiorate you to make you think they’re all that, but then again, why would they not try to make you think higher of them. If you think higher of them, you’ll think higher of their god. It indeed started connecting the dots as I listened to the retirement home sermon. I’m 35 this month and I’m getting messages from a retirement home! That shows you God Almighty can and will speak to you from anywhere. Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent. John 6:29 The retirement home sermon increased my faith., that’s what testimonies are for. They increase the faith of church members. The greater a church’s faith, the greater the miracles. When you see others’ prayers answered, you will gain more faith for your prayers. The more faith you have, the more prayers you’ll have answered. Who doesn’t want more prayers answered?. It was amazing to find the 181 rejecters and I are on different Spiritual planes. Lord Jesus is showing me how to get closer to Him. It opened my eyes that no matter how much clout you have on earth you still have to have Jesus. Michael Jackson showed so man y people what excess will do to you. I’m ready for church, showered, shaven, and I’m bringing a children’s DVD on history. I bought it in Clermont. Giving to the church is a blessing. Getting the opportunity to give to the church is also a blessing. I praise the Lord I was given this opening. As I think of chance, I think of the ugly instance in your past. People say they forgot it to show you it’s passed. Look at the upper classman kicking me in my tail everyday I got off the bus. 5 days it happened. Till I had premeditatedly put every book in my book bag. Then I turned and slung it as hard as I could. Dove forward! I punched as fast as I could, getting as many licks in as possible. After the driver broke us up, he told uncle he was so glad I did that. But he had to suspend me to suspend the other guy. Sometimes Jesus is letting you get away with something, but that can only happen so many times. …. I go to prayer. In prayer, I hear Deuteronomy 30 mentioned and take note in my cell. As I do so, I get tapped disapprovingly on the shoulder. That’s when I nod and keep writing. If the flesh thinks you are pervading it, obstacles come. I’ve gotten used to it since I started my ministry in 95. Deuteronomy 30
1And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
What timing. Blessings and curses are normal in life. Dad loved drugs and the pleasure they brought. Season A is pleasure season B is worse than ever.
2And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
I saw two extra people at6 prayer, a couple, and a lady that’s been there often. That made me regard THE POWER OF THE church IF IT HAD AN Absolutely HUGE PRAYER GROUP. You HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THERES POWER In PRAYER. THE REASON You HAVE HEARD THAT is it is true and people wasn’t you to know it.
3That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
I left a children’s DVD in the information booth because I bought it in Clermont and saw a chance to support the youth group. I was in my church youth group many years, till a lie made me feel so much wrath that all I wanted was revenge. Successful people have a method to not feed the revenge notion.
4If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
My desire for revenge was fed by media, secular friends, and jealousy. If I had accepted the lie as a direction changer, I’d altered my path for something better. Instead, all I wanted was REVENGE ON THE LIARS. You never get revenge like you think. If you are taking revenge, you are pouring hot coals on your head. Dad’s suicide in 99 and brother’s suicide in 06 remind me of that! People lie not to you but to themselves.
5And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
In prayer, I was able to speak personally to the most powerful force man will ever know.
6And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Mom left me home alone. She spent the night at sister’s babysitting their baby. Therefore I don’t have a ride to church. But sister will be back in time to let Mom come home and give me a ride to the play, Rock and the Rabbi.
7And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
The college that lied about inability to get permission to let me change classes, the doctor that left a shunt a quarter inch from where it belonged, the table of mockers that thought my voice was hilarious. I think of the people messing with me and realize they’re doing that to God Almighty’s anointed. I sympathize for them. But when they have payback, it tells me they won’t be able to trace it back to me because they’ve done so many people wrongly. As the flesh fights with the Spirit, their remembrance of you will come back. If the flesh is strong, they’ll get further of the path of destruction. They think ignoring you will decrease their discomfort with self. How very, very wrong they are!
8And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
Every time I see the chance to help people, the missionary spirit in me wants to help. I just saw my neighbor unloading a bag. He saw me coming and disappeared. He knows every chance I have I offer a hand. “Do you need any help!?” never got an answer.
9And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
You see Jesus blessing you all of the time after you get saved, but till then you only see bad happening to you that’s trying to get you on the strait path.
10If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
After you become a Christian, tests will see if you are in for the long haul. It takes perseverance to be saved. You have to exercise perseverance to make it to the mountain top.
11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
Laws God Almighty gives you are there for your good. The flesh says Jesus is against you because it hates Jesus and knows the more you listen to Jesus, the greater your power grows against it.
I don’t have a ride to church. Therefore I’m up later than usual. A show on TV that caught my attention is about prisoners. There’s a prisoner marrying a free woman. I thought of my girl crazy days and remembered the prayer I had to lose it. Now 181 rejections later, the very, very last thing I would ever want is marriage!!!! I learned I was stepping out of like-minded groups and that is a taboo! Praise the Lord! It makes me want to praise Jesus! praise Jesus! praise Jesus! praise Jesus! praise Jesus! praise Jesus! praise Jesus! The more you praise Jesus, the happier you'll be!
Proverbs 23:7
7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
When you decide you really want to be saved, your love for the Lord is a must. Love unexpressed is love not there. When you are very, very excited about heaven, you get vocal and your body moves. You can’t stay seated. It’s impossible to stay still with great zeal. That rhymed.
Matthew 26:38
38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
You have a part in the Kingdom. When you are trying to find your way, ask Jesus to help you. My ministry was birthed after I began practice writing. Copying and sharing sermons. The delight was and is unreal. I felt the calling b4 it was found. So I prayed to find it before I did.
Acts 15:26
26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you willing to die for Jesus? I think of the blind man whose house was on fire. The dog died rescuing him. It tugged at him in a burning room and refused to leave him before the burning house crushed in on him.
Mark 10:45
45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
No love will compare to Jesus’ love. He died for mankind. No man will do that. Jesus’ love is unparallel to man’s love.
Luke 23:46
46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
It’s always good to be baptized in the Spirit. Jesus is very eager to bless you with the Spirit. Seek Jesus. Commend Him with your mouth. The 1st touch of the Spirit I had was among a group of men laying on their hands. The Spirit was a washing waterfall of love over my head. It was the 1st real love I ever felt. 8.07.99
Hebrews 12:9
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Lose yourself to find yourself. People climbing the ladder of the world are happier before they get high on the ladder. My buddy is president of a marketing agency. The last I heard of her she regrets Monday the entire weekend. But she lives in a mansion.
James 2:26
26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
When you have faith in Jesus,. it gets results. If you have no faith in Jesus, that gets results too, but those results are unwanted.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
After you die, eternity begins. Right now you are in eternity, but the transition takes place at death. Heaven and hell are eternal.
Hebrews 9:27
27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Judgment day determines if you are saved. If you have salvation when you die, eternal glory is what you’ll feel. Not so if you are unsaved. The world favors people it knows won’t be going to heaven, so it can make more people choose the path of destruction. The path of destruction ends in hell.
1 Peter 2:11
11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
People who entertain fleshly lusts keep the flesh in business. They don’t prefer the Christian because the Christian doesn’t prefer fleshly lusts.
1 Peter 5:8
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The more of the Spirit you have in you, the less of the chance the devil has of ripping the rug out from under you. My buddy was a Christian that hung out with me. I always coveted his dependency without alcohol. I prayed for it. I got it. That Christian must have something with my salvation.
Matthew 4:1-10
1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT. HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE. What’s in you will come out of you.
9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
You can be smiley and anger can still be in you. Your church mask won’t stay on. God Almighty knows what pain you are bearing. That is though He doesn’t fix it immediately. You can’t play church sometimes. You better have Jesus in you. Come clean with who you are. Stay full of laughter. The creepy crawly in the pool gets hung sometimes till you twist the hose. Jesus will make a way. Forget those things behind you. Press forward. You are not your own. You were bought for a price.
10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
God Almighty is where worship goes. It’s so easy to worship the wrong thing. Back when I went girl crazy, I could tell my preference was detrimental. I prayed for a change. I am so glad God Almighty answered that prayer! 181 rejections later, it’s all gone!
1 Timothy 6:7-10
7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The flesh is always trying to make the path of destruction look comely because if you get on the path of destruction, the walls rise the further you get. My brother and dad both had drugs in their system so long that the only way they could break that bond is suicide. Granny smoked from 10-70 years old. She died of lung cancer. She was always doing good. The best cook I have ever had ever! Cracker Barrel ain’t got nothing on her! For every person she cooked for she put stocks in her eternal investments. But what if she had good health and lived 100 years, always cooking for people? DO you think 30 years of good deeds are very long?
1 John 2:16-17
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Love one another. The more obedient you are to the Bible, the more loving you’ll be. The more love you have, the more you will please Christ. The Bible is a great manual for life. It’s a Manual for heaven, but manual for life means you handle society better.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
You can go to church and not be a Christian. You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you really know Jesus, you can’t help but praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 12:20
20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
You can’t take it with you. That’s what we hear all our life. That's because God Almighty is trying to make everybody see how much more eternity is than they are acting.
Romans 2:6-11
6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
What comes around goes around. Why do bad things happen to good people? So good things will happen to them. Bad things filter out the stuff that’ll get in the way of the good stuff that is in its way. You have to remain cool and faithful for the good stuff to reach you. That’s not saying where you are is where the good stuff will be coming. You don’t need to drive your stakes too deeply for that reason. You may need to relocate to receive the stuff so good that it'll make everything you lose worth my girl crazy spell and I’d gladly make that trade ANYDAY!!!
7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
The world wants its people to be rewarded, so they’ll drive their stakes deeper and deeper and deeper and in the earth. How ready do you think Bill gates is to leave the earth? How many movie stars have died of a drug overdose?
Romans 8:5-8
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
The flesh is welcome to the earth. The world wants you to think the Spirit isn't rewarding and that it has everything you need. God Almighty will supply those that love Him.
Matthew 10:28
28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Remember the school bully? I always walked in defeat. A raging step dad when I was 10 made that worse. I was picked on by EVERYBODY for good grades. Then when trusted loved 1s said the promise was a dream, I gave up and quit trying. 1m dollar bill was spent on me after my rebellion ran into a brick wall.
Galatians 1:4
4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Because of Calvary we have deliverance. When we speak the name of Jesus, the devil has to go. When we come together New Jersey’ name, sickness and doubt take a hike. The soul must be blessed. The world needs to taste this new wine.
Galatians 1:4
4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Titus 2:14
14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
When you surrender to Jesus, you become part of His family. You are seated in high places. You are blessed when you are coming and blessed when you are going. People who mislead you end up misleading themselves. Heaven will have no sadness, grief, sorrow, unhappiness, misery, or depression. Heaven will have all contentment, pleasure, gladness, cheerfulness, joy, and glee.
Colossians 3:2-4
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Are you ready to go home? Nicodemus wondered. John 3
Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."
3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"
4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.' 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." The sinner gets the payment of deceit; but his reward is certain who puts in the seed of righteousness. Proverbs 11:18 Born Again means you’re ready for transfer. Go with me to the Rock and the Rabbi show. I’ve been very, very excited since I got the tickets. Why? Because I’m ready to see Pastor Anthony was overrating the show. He was making such huge expressions. I know I’ll be disappointed, but here I go. In the FJ…. Out of the FJ at church. The Spirit can be felt. People have been praying for this thing. I know I have. Now that I think about it I always feel the Spirit at church. Simon, on stage, tells about seeing Jesus and His authority that could be felt. He tells about a sad fishing trip. He is a great speaker. When he mentioned Jesus’ authority, I thought of his vocal authority. Why? Because I went through years of speech therapy. Remember, I have pitch problems. I’m right next to coveting Randy Travis’ voice without sinning. Jesus tells them to cast to the other side. After doing so, they are overwhelmed with loads of fish. I’m ashamed of myself for not helping them set this display up. I had no ride. Singers sing very well. If they’re not professional--. I can’t believe I said that. You don’t sound this good without being professional. They’re singing about the catch and this is good. I keep praising the Lord for my making it. I kept waiting for my ride yesterday, to come help. The fishermen are carried away with their very, very good luck, fishing. They’re very good actors. I am critical of their diction and I give it a 1 hundred A plus! I have this thing for speech thanks to all the classes I had. Enough for a college degree. The fiddle is playing. A singer says, “The devil went down to Largo.” Everybody laughs. (Dad knew that song word for word.) A man with spoons is impressively playing. When I got here, I saw Sean. He was ignoring me after prayer. He said he was focusing on the garden. I said I needed to level the playing field. When can we fight? He said April 7 at 7p. I wrote down “Ignoring me,” so I don’t forget. I’m bad about forgetting what people do to me. I’m led to some saved seats. I tell the usher, after tracking him down. He finds me another. This is on the water productions. It’s a packed house, parking lot… property. I’ve never seen the balcony so full. This is a professional musical. Oops, I kept my ticket. I see Pastor Kendra in a group of people. There’s Billy. He never called to come get me to help with set up. He said he forgot and came at last moment. 19:01, I see Pastor Anthony. There goes Cindy, I think, but when I tell her I want to help, she is very, very frightened and I later decide it isn't Cindy. Bible School is coming. Easter Sunday is 4.14.10. I notice a huge delay. Tht’s always the case with these big productions. I’m not complaining. I’m basking in the Spirit. 19:14, there goes a prayer group member. 17:07, welcome begins.
The musical story of the friendship between Peter & Jesus, The Rock & The Rabbi celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2008! A mix of original acoustic music and storytelling, this show has entertained audiences from Tampa to Dallas to New York City. The Rock & The Rabbi written by creative team of Danny Hamilton and Gary Richardson. By popular demand, the duo premiered the new musical, The Witnesses (part II of The Rock & The Rabbi Trilogy) in 2007.
Pastor Anthony saw lead role was a colleague of his…. Rainy outside. Capacity crowd. Good Friday the 7th. Holy communion. Church Sunday. Great choir presentation. If you don’t have anywhere to go… Abundant Life. International House of Prayer Tallahassee. They’re coming. It’s for the believer. They have somebody always praying. 11-14. Then the ticket drawing. My number is 079. I told Monica that was the year of my first truck. Broke down everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday. Money on insurance, gas for a gas hog, tag, and truck payment meant always in debt. Plus tag and every other fee in the world. Meant plans for my traumatic brain injury began. My above level college bound diploma meant I had hours of homework while I had only indebted time to myself. 2 50 dollar gifts are given away. Then a 25 dollar gift. 079 is never called. (Obviously a rigged drawing.) Shh, the production has begun. I am by the window. So till the sun sets, I won’t be able to see. Simon, a fisherman, is recounting Jesus’ amazing ministry. He is telling about Andrew telling about Jesus. His diction is very, very impressive. He had an amazing 1st encounter of the Rabbi. Jesus knew him already. Changed his name. called him Peter. Then Jesus walked away. Changed his name and gone. Went fishing. Adventures were about to begin. Musical instruments play. They give you a taste for professional. Better put you see right here right now why expert are not considered part-time. Wow, I’m finding a better definition. I’m realizing why specialized are not the unpaid. Hence, I see now why qualified are separated among proletarian. Singing and humming they do is certified, practiced, and licensed. The beat is loud. I hear Mom’s complaint in the back of my head. The fishermen caught nothing.
A crowd started gathering, listening to the Rabbi. They saw Jesus’ authority. Jesus told Simon, “Let’s go fishing.” They had no luck. Jesus said cast the net to the other side. That yielded more than enough fish. The musicians are going beyond impressive. The man with spoons is impressive. They’re doing so well that I feel like it’s amazing. What do you call the upright guitar that’s very, very big and you are seated to pick it? I don’t remember. He said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's. ... There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:15,17 Hump Bacht whale? Bass? He plays the Jaws tune. Singing begins. A fisherman is inspiringly recounting the load op fish they caught. He is surprised and tells how he knew Jesus was a holy man. The Rock and the Rabbi. He is singing about being a fisherman. No wonder this church has hundreds of people. It’s striking presentation. The ukulele is very remarkable. There’s a camera flash and I remember the host saying don’t do that. I hear Scriptures in the singing. Follow Jesus. He will make you fishers of men. Every time a scene ends, there’s a round of applause. There’s another fisherman recounting the catch. This is the right thing for me to do. The fisherman is talking about following the Rabbi then seeing his mother-in-law. The Rabbi healed the mother-in-law. People came, touching Him. This acting is notable and extraordinary. Jesus went praying on a mountain side. It was rainin, He sent the ship out. Waves grew. Rain got bigger. The acting is exciting. The fishermen were horrified. They saw Jesus walking on water. Jesus called him out and he walked on water. Jesus called him out and he walked on water. And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and(X) walked on the water and came to Jesus. 0But when he saw the wind,[d] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out,(Y) "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, (Z) "O you of little faith, why did you(AA) doubt?" And when they got into the boat,(AB) the wind ceased. And(AC) those in the boat(AD) worshiped him, saying,(AE) "Truly you are(AF) the Son of God." He turned and saw the 11 down, worshipping Jesus. This is a moving production. Jesus kindly showed the need for faith. The teaching offended the Pharisees and hypocrites. What goes in you is less important than what comes out. The singing is stirring. Jesus said, “Get behind me, Satan.” You have to be willing to lose your life to gain it. 1(A) And after six days Jesus took with him(B) Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2And he was(C) transfigured before them, and(D) his face shone like the sun, and(E) his clothes became white as light. 3And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for(F) Elijah." 5He was still speaking when, behold,(G) a bright cloud overshadowed them, and(H) a voice from the cloud said,(I) "This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." 6When(J) the disciples heard this,(K) they fell on their faces and were terrified. 7But Jesus came and(L) touched them, saying, "Rise, and(M) have no fear." 8And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 21Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often(A) will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?(B) As many as seven times?" 22Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.[a] 23"Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished(C) to settle accounts with his servants.[b]
Everybody gives the striking production a standing ovation. Some people have to sit down, still clapping, we are standing so long. I lose my notebook and Rafael goes looking for it. He is gone a while. Please pray Jesus abundantly, plentifully, copiously, richly blesses Rafael. He returns with my notebook. This is going to be thought of 4a very, very long time.

Bp182
I was in Winder-Barrow High School pep rally dressed like a woman, flirting with the principal (Principal isn’t a principle because he is your pal.) In the dream, I was in a plastic straight back chair and a cheerleader behind me was doing a cheer. We started talking. I named the Winder-Barrow High School cheerleading squad. Chewing gum she didn’t know any of them. In Florida uniform. It tells me I transplanted. I have a cheerleader buddy in school in facebook. She doesn't talk to me anymore. I guess because she's married not to me. And guys in my class…. Never mind. I’ll interpret my dream. I was in a pep rally in Florida like I was in Georgia. That means I am transplanted. In Winder-Barrow High School, life changed for the worse after trusted loved 1s told me a promise was a dream. The cheerleader I asked if she remembers is 1 I see on facebook a lot. She didn’t know her or the rest. That shows there isn’t a connection with where I lived. I didn’t know the cheerleader in my dream. Culture wise that's very, very true. But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do. Galatians 5:16-17 I just mailed You Crazy Lunatics by Michael House to libraries. There's a chance the plot meets the great demand and the book becomes more famous than Huckleberry Fin. The circumstances of what you are going through will always change. You'll never have all the same situations affecting the same conditions for the same state of affairs. That’s why surprises are usual. No matter how surprised you are remain always true to Jesus. Pronounce Jesus as your Savior with your mouth and act like it. If you believe it, you’ll act like it. Your status in humanity doesn’t matter how much you should honor the Lord. That means no matter who you are give all yourself praising the Sovereign Lord. prefers outward praise. That’s a good position to take in church. No matter what your circumstances are be very outward when you are praising the Lord. You’ll see Him visit you and that’ll feed your desire to add more life to your praising Him. As I write, there's a wedding on a teen show. When I was going to rehab in the 90s, I always watched teen shows and there were very, very often people getting married. I thought it was all I wanted. Then Brother Lacey’s sermon at the retirement home showed me I was getting ahead of Jesus and that makes me glad He didn’t answer my prayer to be married. It’s good to not get what you want sometimes because there are issues coming that you don’t see. They would make your answered prayer impossible to live with. Michael Jackson had billions of dollars and anything he wanted not Spiritual. Michael Jackson showed the importance of feeding the Spirit. When the world starts feeling food given to their Spirit, they're quickly turned off. TV Land is a lot less carnal than T^BS for the same reason. Go out of your way to miss evil seeds. Keep your soil ready for Spiritual seeds. As I read my book about German spies, I thought of Haiti and of how I’ll be going to help. But then I remembered they decided to keep me home since all married couples are going. Wow, married to go on mission trips? I can promise you I won't be going on any mission trips soon. The 181 women to reject me helped me come to that decision. 1 Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. 2 Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. 1 Jeremiah 4:3, 2 Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Hosea 10:12 (A)Sow with a view to righteousness meaning have a heart for the Lord. See things the way Jesus wants you to see them. That’ll take an open mind. Bake your own cake for your eternity. Reap in accordance with kindness. Do it the way Jesus tells you to. (B)Break up your fallow ground. Don’t get comfortable with the world. For it is time to (C)seek the LORD Until He (D)comes to (E)rain righteousness on you. Jesus is on His way. Jesus is near. Proverbs 11:18 18The wicked earns deceptive wages, But he who (A)sows righteousness gets a true reward. [-] If you’re going to make your bed, you have to lie in it. The wisest investment you could make is in your eternity. Jeremiah 4:3 3For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "(A)Break up your fallow ground, And (B)do not sow among thorns. [-] The more seeds planted, sprouted, and nourished, the better. What good is it to have a million seeds planted that never grow? I planted 110 cedar trees, thinking a Christmas tree harvest was nearing, hoping to turn it into a career, but none of them came up. All of the planting turned out to be useless. I was making plans of renting a mall place and when it wasn’t open, sell them from a truck road side. But they never came up. Get your soil ready. Hosea 10:12 12(A)Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; (B)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to (C)seek the LORD Until He (D)comes to (E)rain righteousness on you. [-] It takes patience to get the best effect to Christianity. Endurance will make you more Godly. Avoiding temptation is how you best don’t give in to the temptation. I have many sermons in my blogs in http://www.myspace.com/michael1house. Good Tidings of Salvation to Zion 61The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Staying power is good because it keeps you going. The irritable feeling I get says I need tolerance there. I'm talking about the 181 women who have rejected me. I’m really very, very gracious for them. They turned me against wanting to get married. On TV this morning, the teen show marriage reminded me of what made ne want marriage before the 181 rejections turned me against it. That's a testimony not a complaint. I feel like I have a monkey off my back now. It takes persistence at Godliness to get what Jesus wants. Without fortitude you won’t have serenity. Without serenity impatience grows. Hosea 12:6 6Therefore, (A)return to your God, (B)Observe kindness and justice, And (C)wait for your God continually. That means host, assist, aid, facilitate, relieve, ameliorate, and alleviate Lord Jesus by doing His will. A waiter waits on you the same way. Hosea 10:12 12(A)Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; (B)Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to (C)seek the LORD Until He (D)comes to (E)rain righteousness on you. [-] The more of your time you give to God Almighty, the better. Tebow was recruited to be a passer just like the Christian was saved to be Christ-like. Don’t take a break from being Godly. Isaiah 44:3 3'For (A)I will pour out water on the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will (B)pour out My Spirit on your (C)offspring And My blessing on your descendants; [-] The Spirit is very blissful. Having the Spirit makes you feel incomparably good. You gain insight and power after you get the Spirit. Isaiah 45:8 God's Supreme Power 8"(A)Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the (B)earth open up and salvation bear fruit, (C)And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it. [-] The flesh likes to make you think you were the one to accomplish your feat. It’s good a lot of people credit God Almighty for the thing they did, but do they really feel that way? Talking it is easier than walking it. I see how blessed I was to have a phonographic memory. Not to mention everything I saw. Then upon my traumatic brain injury, when I went through the window, my memory did too and never returned. …. I read till very late last night. 7:50a today the security alarm kept chirping. I saw it was armed. Mom told me go out and see if lights at homes are on. I said the alarm will go off. She said it won’t. Several times I said it would. Then to prove myself I opened the door and the alarm went off. Then the beeping quit after I punched in the code. That’s how you get6 answered prayers at times. Trouble has the only ingredients to give you what you need in something else, something more important. Dad was a drug addict that exploded at the smallest matters. The things that’d bother him were SOOO little. But still I learned a lesson about value because of that. We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name. In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness. Isaiah 26:8-9 Many sermons are in my blogs: http://www.myspace.com/michael1house. republicans R OFFERING UP AMMENDMENT AFTER AMMENDMENT AFTER AMMENDMENT AFTER… in the healthcare reform. Please pray for the way things end up. This is said to be an unconstitutional bill. Do you think that’ll make a difference? They think they have a new, better way. I think of the 35 years since birth I have been single. After my cousin’s baby daddy left, it hit me I don’t have to know what that pain is like. I don’t know what love is like. When you get drugs in your system, you want them to stay there. I am happy I don't know what it’s like to fall in love. My buddies wife had this in facebook: common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden. I like that.
WHY am I so early? Pastor Ritchie says to bask in Jesus’ glory. That's indeed something I enjoy. But Mom has been taking off early to get me here to set up chairs and they been being set up when I get here. Her new business is struggling. So making her get off early so I can DO SOMETHING DONE DONE is irrational. I'm just saying. Only God Almighty I adore, I love God Almighty always. Only God Almighty I adore, I love God Almighty always. Only God Almighty I adore, I love God Almighty always. Glorify my Lord. It is God Almighty I will serve. The world will fade away. To God Almighty my soul remains. I only adore Jesus. I never walked on water. Receive faith to walk on oceans deep. All my failings would've drowned me. But God Almighty made a way. Where would I be without God Almighty in my life? I got here early and band is practicing. I offer Pastor Kendra and Ladonna a hand. But it’s not needed. Pastor Anthony is in a meeting. countdown of 3:23 I feel my passion grow. I ask Johanna how she's been and she says she’s trying to get the sound booth ready. Cathy is last to leave stage. I go to the bathroom and get a toothpaste stain off my dark blue tee. Tonight I take my cross and count my loss. Love is building every second of the countdown. I feel the Spirit. All I have been able to do is speak in tongues. Nobody else is doing that with me. I see what Johanna is doing. She is making the screen end with the music. I can feel God Almighty’s touch. I can feel God Almighty’s heart. God Almighty’s sweet embrace brings me to my knees. Give God Almighty glory. The band starts playing a different song than is playing on the speakers. God Almighty will reign forever. Victory forever. The song of the redeemed. My God Almighty lives. SERMONS COPIED FROM PEW IN MY BLOGS: MYSPACE.COM/Michael1House
God Almighty reigns forever. The song of the redeemed. My Savior lives. God Almighty reigns forever. The song of the redeemed. My Savior lives. God Almighty reigns forever. The song of the redeemed. My Savior lives. The King comes from heaven and darkness trembles at His name. Keep it going. My Savior lives. My Savior lives. My Savior lives. Hallelujah. Give a shout of praise. Lift your voice. I love God Almighty more than I can say. Mom will be glad to learn she no longer has to leave work early to get me here early, but I won't be able to bask in Jesus’ glory before hand. Yes, it helps me control the anger I always feel and that I'm ashamed of. It is God Almighty I’ll serve. The world will fade. Still my song remains. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! By God Almighty’s word, I receive His faith t6o walk on oceans deep. God Almighty is my freedom. The risen King. I am kneeling at His throne. I remember how God Almighty saw me through the eyes of His grace. I just thought of how incomparably pleasant, unbeatably enjoyable, and matchlessly satisfying releasing endorphins is. Then how much better God Almighty is. Pastor Anthony on the platform 19:26. He is like the sergeant and we are the troop. I can't quit speaking and singing in tongues the whole time. Talk to the Lord. Worship Him. Sit at His, God Almighty’s, feet. Make your requests known to God Almighty. Refreshing comes from the presence of Jesus. That tells me why I've been getting here early. I suggest that to everybody. Come early and let God Almighty minister you as band warms up. Jesus Christ is a cool stream on a hot summer day. Praise the Lord with your whole heart. Exalt God Almighty’s name. After my buddy moved to the mountains then Tybee Island, then back, he got 4 different women pregnant and has been to jail for not caring for them I don’t know how many times. Then I think of how much better I have it and how much he must covet the 181 rejections I’ve had. What if I hadn’t failed Pam’s test? Now I’m glad I did. Now I’m glad I did. Now I’m glad I did. Lord Jesus, have your way.
Gal Galatians 5:18
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Matthew 21:1-11
1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Take advantage of the Holy Spirit's presence in your life. Could the waitress hugging me 2-3 times and kissing my scorched thumb have something to do with the great feeling I have? No, I think it’s God Almighty. Take advantage of the Holy Spirit's presence in your life. Romans 8:7 (King James Version)
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
I just remembered sitting at my computer at the window, singing in tongues. A man walking his dog stopped to listen to me. Very suspicious. Do you think God Almighty had control of the timing and ministered him at that time for the specified allotment? Hold up your hands. Speak in tongues. Lay prostrate. Or dance. Worship God Almighty. Get engaged. God Almighty is looking for the truthful heart. Spiritual worshippers. We are creating an environment for Christ’s presence. Lord Jesus made a way. Lord God wants to talk to you. Just rest. Enjoy sanctuary. You have been so beat down. God Almighty will give you revelation for your life. Listen. Christ will speak to you. Lord Jesus will help you lose bitterness and unforgiveness. The 181 rejections I’ve had come to mind then my distaste with t6hyem. Sure, community is ok. But that's all I want. The waitress was sweet after her tip. She showed me I’m not as creepy as the 181 wanted me to believe. Sense God Almighty’s presence. Yield to Lord God. Listen to the Holy Spirit. God Almighty will make you more understanding. He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit is saying. See with Spiritual eyes. Wait on the Lord. Thank Jesus the Lord. Stand in the gap. Listen to God Almighty. Get revelation on things you never have before. Broken, humble clay in the Potter’s hands. Confess sins. God Almighty’s mercies are new every morning. Cry. Let it go. Stop trying to be strong. Nobody wants to wrap their arms around you more than Christ. Disappointments have come. God Almighty understands. You are weary from trying on your own strength. It reminds me of the loss of stimulus leaving my body then 1,000 MPH I went to the doctor. He blamed my 181 rejections. that’s what said my prayers were answered! I had asked Jesus to remove the stimulus. I forgot about the prayer till I heard the diagnosis. I won’t totally neglect a rejecter. But I won’t be dating them. Let go and let God Almighty. Hey, that was a big AA saying. Thank the Lord for being so soothing. Acts 2:17 (King James Version)
17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Recognize spirits. The waitress showed me I’m not the creep the 181 were inferring. Don’t fight with people. Take off carnal lens. Awaken. Take binders off your eyes. Open to wisdom. Get out of your rut. God Almighty is Creator. Psalm 37 (King James Version)
Psalm 37
1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Pray more. Live in communion with God Almighty. God Almighty told me not to date any woman who has ever turned me down. I wondered did I hear Him correctly. Then the preacher at the retirement home said don’t date period. That explains why God Almighty said what He said! Now I understand! It’s a revelation Pastor Anthony was talking about our getting! I just got that! Get rest and peace from God Almighty’s presence. Intercession of the Spirit just fell on Abundant Life! We are speaking and singing in t5ongues. We are entertaining the Spirit! You can’t do anything but relish the Spirit right now. A quick glance of the sanctuary on floor 1 shows me some people are on the floor! This feels so good! The world ain’t got nothing on this! Wednesday night is for believers. You feel how very powerful the Spirit is. It’s an upper room setting. You can pray in tongues more freely. Relax about tongues. They're a blessing to Lord Jesus. You are encouraged to pray in tongues. Not just feeling ecstatic. The Spirit is interceding every time you pray in tongues. Not just bucking and shu8cking. Don’t put Lord God in a box. Maybe your just getting stammering lips. God Almighty wants you to be hungry. Have the heart Christ is looking for. Don’t give a baby s steak. Don’t be lazy.
Apr 11-14 International House of Prayer is coming here. Don’t leave praying to a couple of people. Prayer is important. Challenge the core. Get committed. Get Spirit filled. 24 7 somebody is praying, seeking Lord Jesus’ face. It’s called 7 14 because of 1 Chronicles 7:14 2 Chronicles 7:14
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Tell your friends. It’s a time to bask the Spirit in Lord God. Offering. I pull out my wallet and find I’m broke. The Sahara lives in my wallet, lol. Be at church Saturday 2:30p. When I tell Mom, she says she has already committed to my little sister. She is going to her house &to keep grandson number 2. little sister and her husband are going 2a wedding. Mom can give me a ride to church, but I need a ride home. The Man On The Colt. Palm Sunday.

13Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
The Psalm from which it was taken, the 118th, was one with which they were familiar from being accustomed to recite the 25th and 26th verses at the feast of tabernacles, forming a part of the great hallel. Ps. 113-118.
The Leader was coming to save the people from the Roman empire. They’re saying “Save now!” Jesus, a 33 year old, on a colt. Baby donkey. His feet dragging. That doesn't fit for the coming King. Jesus is making a fulfilling.
Zechariah 9:9
9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Matthew is only 1 of the 4 Gospels to talk about the colt. The rest talk about a donkey.
Matthew 21:1-11
1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
It was a short distance. Jesus was making a statement. Jesus was very aware of the old covenant.
Deuteronomy 1:1-9
1These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
3And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
4After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
When Jesus stood on the Mount of Olives, He felt great love for the people. Jesus looked out.
John 1:1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jesus was familiar with Deuteronomy 21. Jesus knew nobody could lift the coming curse but Him. Jesus had to be the sacrifice. Jesus asked for the colt, an unclean being. Cloven hoofs couldn't be sacrificed. Jesus said 1 He had never ridden. It told Jesus was a sacrifice of the most innocent man to ever live. Praise the Lord He showed me why He told me not to date a rejecter, then I learned He was saying anybody. Jesus was fulfilling Matthew 17:24
24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Jerusalem is the most trodden down city because of the blood shed there. No other nation has been taken over like Jerusalem.

Ugh! They have a 93 acre plot they lease out in Texas for 13k dollars 3 months at a time and it’s getting, WAS A MISTAKE. THE LEASE IS 3 Years! UGH! The mistake was because it amazes me anyhow. It’s complex. 13k dollars a month is indeed an unbelievable sum. I was just vacuuming and yawned, noticing my body is tired right now and my brain. Usually my brain is tired because I read and write all day everyday. As I vacuumed, I saw good blame for my flaw. It is humiliating and the humility changes my perspective of myself. I see how I'm more likely to flaw by being human. That tells me I have forces coming against me that go unseen. Not only me but everybody. That tells me not to think people are untroubled. Right now, writing, I feel the fatigue from the very active weekend at my aunt and uncle’s. Plus I bought 6 books at the flea market that I’m excited about reading. Plus I have books aunt and uncle gave me! ! That takes energy too. I have a mail limit, so I can’t mail THIS paper after already mailing my newsletter. I vacuumed half the house. The dog tracked in a ton of leaves. Please pray for the problem with the Texas property to have a happy outcome without more trouble. … I just vacuumed another room. The dog is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. He’s 10 human years. 70 dog years. Hasn’t he had the time to know the vacuum cleaner won’t hurt him? Then it answered a question I've had. Why am I so comfortable at a retirement home? Because I lived with my grandparents most of my life. I’m most used to grandparents for that reason. …. I just vacuumed another room and thought of a consumer’s complaint. She won’t let the handy man work for her ever again because of the receptacles he painted over. Then I thought she never told him not to, so who is at fault? I take her side, but maybe we are both wrong. As I read the Bible, I thought of how I only heard of renting month by month. Then I understood why I made the innocent mistake. Error fault blunder slip-up slip gaffe inaccuracy oversight misstep blooper lapse faux pas muddle confuse with take for mix up with confound mix muddle up fail to appreciate misunderstand misjudge misinterpret misconstrue underestimate confuse misapprehend…. I went outside to read as usual and then I thought of another reason I made a mistake. Because too was I ready to read. Very eager to read. I haven’t had a book in a long time. I read the Bible already and I do that in parts all day. Every day. But the fiction I'm reading, Reader’s Digest Condensed Version, is also very appealing. 1 country 1 flag 1 nation. 1 God Almighty. I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels. Isaiah 61:10 People talk about how they love cars, fishing, weights, swimming, running, or etc. I just looked at my book and so wanted to get in it that thrill could be felt in my soul. “A fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels,” makes me think of the beauty of the things I love. The retirement home sermon on grouping with the wrong people very much spoke to my 181 rejecters. I was very excited about sharing it. It was a message I wanted to share because I was touched by it so. I realized I was doing God Almighty’s job for him and that’s a good way of messing everything up. Anger makes it hard to think. Annoyance will blur your hope of doing Jesus’ will. That'll yield irritation you have to bear. It’ll grow till fury sprouts from your soul. That causes rage and antagonism, which feeds resentment. It’s best to make it easier to do Christ’s will. Anger can potentially mobilize psychological resources and boost determination toward correction of wrong behaviors, promotion of social justice, communication of negative sentiment and redress of grievances. When reasons give you more motive to feel anger, it’s best to feel more reason to be calm. The more you think about heaven, the more you’ll love it. It helps me to remember I’m in the world not of the world. Anger can also facilitate patience. On the other hand, anger can be destructive when it does not find its appropriate outlet in expression. Anger, in its strong form, impairs one's ability to process information and to exert cognitive control over their behavior. My doctor said anger is energy. So I determine in myself to stay tired to feel less anger. Reading and writing does the trick. An angry person may lose his/her objectivity, empathy, prudence or thoughtfulness and may cause harm to others. There is a sharp distinction between anger and aggression (verbal or physical, direct or indirect) even though they mutually influence each other. While anger can activate aggression or increase its probability or intensity, it is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for aggression. The angrier you are, the more ungodly you will be. Anger DOES NOT feel comfortable!!!! Then again, neither does brother and Dad’s suicide, so I have to weigh the two. I’m always better off dealing with anger in light of expressing it. * JOY comes y putting Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last. It just hit me I can turn my mail limit off…

2 Chronicles 6:13
Listen to this passage
13For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
In my Bible, it was a measure of 666. I thought of how that number has always scared me since I was a little boy. My Private/Christian school had taught a lesson about 666 and it hit so hard I lived my life scared of that number. Once, at the pharmacy, the bill came to 6.66 dollars. I was launching for some candy when the cashier said she’d make it 6.65 dollars. Fill your life with praise for Jesus. For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up.
1 Peter 5:6I wrote this. The
world had command over Dad and wouldn’t let him go to church. He just
like my brother wanted to go to church. That was so till their suicide
1.16.99 and 2.287.06. If you are saved, your clout is invisible but
very big. I like what a man said. I don’t care how much money I make,
but what store do I go to get my brother back?” The brother was little
and killed in a car wreck. [-] I meant 2.28.06. I learned I can't go to Checz missions. That was disappointing. Not ministering people in missions means I’ll be ministering them in my ministry. It also means I’ll be putting more energy in praising the Lord. Then I’ll show you the blessings that gets. Praising the Lord is an expression of admiration., Those are words that express approval or admiration, like for somebody's achievements or for something's good qualities If you think of the many, many achie3vements of Jesus in your life, you see Jesus deserves tons of worship and thanks. with only 2 married women on our team I definitely don’t want to go either. But if Jesus wants me to go, I will. Instead, I’ll use this transitive verb praise and turn it into a past participle praised. That is to express admiration for somebody, which is approval or admiration. In my heart, I’ll be making positive statements about Jesus. It’s typically, but not exclusively, earned relative to achievement and accomplishment. Don’t be sarcastic with your praise. It shield serous and from your heart. It’s a impassioned exaltation of God. Then you are Praising the Lord. And that’s why we are here. I might not have this attitude if 181 women hadn’t rejected me. Then when the Lord hears my voice after this great term of praise, He will be quicker to tend to my desire. The 181 women and rejections not only totally, completely humiliated me, but gave me a greater desire to be with Jesus. In heaven, these entirely shamed feelings are unknown. I can accredit those 181 women for these absolutely mortified feelings that make me desire to live on an Indian tribe. I’ll be able to always exercise missions. It’s a great feeling, unlike the absolutely disgraced outlook the 181 rejecters gave me. But look on the bright side. Because of the wholly embarrassed manner that brought me to this fully dishonored position I’ll be blessing my eternity and to me nothing is more important than eternity. I’ll praise the Supreme Being’s Greatness. I’ll worship Jesus. That relates to God’s holiness. It’s thanks given to God’s goodness. Praise is the appropriate, the only, response to Gods greatness. Praise is what Jesus deserves. It doesn't depend on our visible situations or circumstances, feelings. Like the news I got I won't be going on missions. Praise the Lord with a basis on unchangeable facts. His mercy is everlasting his truth endures to all generations. Praise is a good thing. Think of the way responsive to praise and will increase in self-esteem or confidence if a suitable amount of praise is received. Some psychological theories hold that a person's life is comprised largely of attempts to win praise for their actions. However, some people are less affected by or even averse to praise, for example people with autism or schizoid personality disorder. When I started helping my brother wiring, his boss was AMAZED and you wouldn’t believe how he was praising me. I looked at him and smiled, “Dale Carnegie.” It was a book I read for bosses. Back in those days I was reading every piece of writing I could get my hands on, JR, the boss, nodded and started laughing. He admitted that he read that book. It was about managing workers. Papa’s. If you flatter them, they’ll work harder for you. I think my reading that book is why I got this desire. Even my brother and his co worker were amazed how much more efficient they were. I made it possible for them to stay on their ladder. I was making needed runs for them. Praise and children are noted. Reward the attainment of specified goals, not just participation, of the child. Praise small changes and successes. Waiting for perfection may take forever. Back when I went girl crazy, id look at opportunities for God Almighty to present my w2ife. I’m missing a rib. But I was too worried about my rib. So I prayed for the Lord God Almighty to remove it. After 181 women rejected me, I can truly say I'm not girl crazy anymore. Praise the Lord. Praise makes me think of Jesus. I’m giving Jesus a descriptive and specific with praise. I’m honoring His goodne3ss, love, and joy. A lot of praise is required to outweigh one criticism. Researchers suggest a ratio of 6:1. That means in light of the bad things people say to God Almighty for our economy I’m going to fill my life with praise for Jesus. Ensure praise being given to the child is deserved. You don’t praise a 16 year old for quitting school. Since God Almighty does only good, God Almighty deserves only praise. In my early 20s, all I wanted was to get married. 181 women gave me a paradigm shift. Encourage good behavior with praise, rather than pointing out bad behavior. Instead of telling God Almighty how sad I am I can't go on missions, I am pointing out my gladness in my knowledge of Him. After all, I’m reading through the Bible an 18th time. Praise progress is in relation to God Almighty’s past progress in your life, NOT compared with others. Teachers should NOT praise uninvolved students for not disrupting the class. Spend your day expressing approval or admiration. To praise is to voice approbation, commendation, or esteem: "She was enthusiastically praising the beauties of Gothic architecture" (Francis Marion Crawford). That inspires me to acclaim hearty approbation warmly and publicly expressed to Jesus. All day, Jesus will be highly acclaimed by my honor in Him. After leaving the pc a minute and coming back, walking down the hall, I started singing in tongues. I’m giving Jesus whole approval for His goodness. It deserves nothing but sincere praise. When I visited the high school years after graduation, all I could remember was the many times I was called to the office. When I set up chairs and tables at church, all I can remember is my many detentions after school, sweeping and mopping the cafeteria. I think I want to express love and joy solely to Jesus because I see how troublesome I was to Him in my past. After I was told a promise was a dream, I became a total reprobate. Jesus is so merciful He deserves only exaltation or glorification: I’m extolling Jesus the rest of my life. If that were my mindset in the past, I know the 181 rejecters wouldn’t have occurred. I’m going to, no, I fill my heart with so much praise for Jesus it’ll be lauded up to the skies. The fact I read the book on managing people and praising them for good work makes me a big praiser of Jesus. I do it a lot anyhow. Also, not long after reading the book on praising your employees I started reading the Bible. Because of the book about praising your employees I was moved by Joseph in the well, praising the Lord very much then getting rescued. Those 2 things stand ou8t for a good reason. So now I fill my life with praise for the Lord. Mom’s dog isn’t very social with me. Unless it’s thundering. Heating my TV dinner, waiting, I looked at him and flattered him how sweet he is. I sat at the kitchen table as the microwaves hummed. He came over and stood to put his paws on my leg. Loving me. Confirming what I said about flattering God Almighty. I was reading in the wind. It got unbearable. Blowing so hard. So I decided to come share what I’m reading. Psalm 23 (King James Version)
Psalm 23

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
[-] As it booted up, Jesus said he wants me to relate the 181 to give me a better understanding.
Psalm 23 (King James Version)
Psalm 23
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. What if I had more to fuss about than loss? I could’ve gained loss by not getting rejected a lot more than by getting rejected.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [-] Sheep are scared of running water. The shepherd dams the creek to give the sheep something to drink. My brother wasn’t rejected and had a baby. That created so many problems he killed himself. [-]
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [-] Jesus led me to the wonderful church of Abundant Life to give me direction. Since I decided 181 rejections more of a blessing than a curse, I see the fact I was attending Abundant Life when it happened. [-]
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
The valley of death was a very scary place for the sheep, steep and dangerous, hopeless without the shepherd. [-]
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
The shepherd plucked poisonous plants and cut away thorns that’d pierce the sheep’s nose. The great pain from my 181 was really exercised to help me face other problems I may have. When Pam told her bf I hugged her against her will, she also used to do the same thing to me when we were talking. His step dad got in it and blew it all out of proportion. I emailed Pam, asking her out a month ago. I never got an answer. But she knows I don’t ask anybody out again after they tell me no. It was great pain, but that's because I wasn’t ready for it at all. The step dad made it what it wasn’t. Then I later realized she didn’t mean as much as I thought she did. Also, the pain made me sob like it did because I was so tender. The more you get hurt, the better you handle pain. If we3 started going out again and I hear she told somebody I hugged her against her will, it’ll be easier. I’ll say, “Again?”[-]
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever [-] Anybody who knows God Almighty will tell you He is merciful. After I purposely entered the path of destruction in response to a lie, mercy is the only reason I’m still here. As I walked back to my pc with a cup of coffee, I remembered how hard it was to walk 16 yrs ago. Now how much I walk without personally praising the Lord for the God given ability. Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Jesus! If someone takes your coat, give him your cloak as well; if he makes you go a mile with him, go with him two. If you are more like Jesus, He is more active in your life. Trouble is common. For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again. If you enthuse fellow Christians, you’ll feel likewise enthused. A majority of the people out there frown when you want to talk about joy at church. That should make you feel greater drive to spread the joy of the church. Stop, drop, and roll won't work in hell. Are you good at multitasking? Or do you have to turn the TV down to find a lost pen? I heard a comedian say those 2 things. That reminded me of priorities. Eternity should be important. Praising the Lord should b more important. I often set out to do things alone, Praising the Lord, but my mind gets sidetracked. That’s very easy because I love to think about my writing. I took the dog on a walk, intending to Praise the Lord, and as soon as I was on the sidewalk, I started thinking about books. 1.To keep the mind in a state of contemplation; to dwell on anything in thought; to think seriously; to muse; to cogitate; to reflect. 2. (v. t.) To contemplate; to keep the mind fixed upon; to study. 3. (v. t.) To purpose; to intend; to design; to plan by revolving in the mind; as, to meditate. When you get a whiff of the incomparable glory in Jesus, you can't do anything but praise Him. Be wholesome like Jesus and avoid corruption. Take Lord Jesus at His word. Know that if He said it, it is for sure real! It’s unreal how rare Christianity is to so many people. By being raised in the church it’s just something I take with a grain of salt. And I shouldn’t. so many people have died to give me this life giving liberty that’s my ministry. Churches are a blessing. Going to them is legal for only for a term. What do more people base voting on, Spirituality or economics? You are not reading this by accident. I’m so very glad I'm no longer girl crazy. After the 181, I felt pain. But I also felt a loss of the girl crazy notion. When I was a 12 year old 40 hour a week plumber and electrician, my coworkers in their early 20s were girl crazy. I never thought it’d hit me too. I hated it so much and very hard prayed for it to leave me. 181 manifested I can truly say that prayer was answered. I learned how to take my eyes off me. It was the shock of Ecuador’s chill that truly opened my eyes to the poverty out there. Now, that’s a real problem. When I was girl crazy, all I wanted was to lose it. After the 181, my vision cleared up and I set my focus on God Almighty….. I just got up., Fri morning. I woke with the remembrance on my mind of a time my brother mixed ammonia and Clorox, ingesting it. he had just called a friend. That friend called Katy and 911. they found him by the road in the driveway, laying there. He fought with the EMT like crazy. It turned out he had called Katy and she very grumpily answered the phone, “What!?” She had been having a heated, impassioned, fiery, intense talk with her bf. Justin and Katy were very close. he used to live with her. he thought she saw caller ID and didn’t want to talk to him. Katy’s mom, Lori, got me out a bed 2a. I found the ambulance with blinking lights in the driveway. Justin was in it, fighting the EMT’s. They were strapping him to the cot. Years later Justin hung himself before anybody could do anything. 7 years before that suicide Dad committed his suicide. His wife years before had found him ODd in the camper. he went through a rehab sort of thing for suicide as Justin before the final suicide. Neither rehab fixed either soul. If they had looked at their trouble as minor issues, they’d still be here. Pam’s taunting her bf would've been fine if I had let the step dad say what he had to say. The fact she and I had been talking a year also made me feel like we saw each other different. I blew up. The step dad made me text an apology to her. I knew Pam to do stuff like that. But the step dad didn’t. I was in the wrong for the way I acted. And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing: But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God. Acts 5:38-39

Endorphins are incomparably sensational, excellently amazing, unbeatably astounding, very marvelous, matchlessly exciting, outstandingly thrilling, exceptionally breathtaking, consummately out of this world, and supremely magnificent!!! Needless feeling very, very good. I am so happy about endorphins because look at the good feeling you get free of charge! I was in a
very strange place. I was wrestling him to show him he wasn’t as bad as he thought. But it was at Zack’s house. Zack would later win Most Likely To Succeed and 8 years earlier he was in a movie with Michael Jesus Fox. When that happened, it was my first year in a public school. I meant in a movie with Michael J Fox. UGH!!!! I changed my auto correct from Jesus Fox to J Fox because that isn’t the 1st time I made that mistake!!! UGH! Autocorrect turns j into Jesus because I'm always using the name! I even saw I made the mistake in a query after I had sent it in. it was a very big deal when Zack was in the movie with Michael J Fox in 85. Since I had always prayed, I prayed to be his buddy. Sure enough my Senior year he was a best friend and fellow club hopper and spent the night at my house. Another club hopper with us, Lori, won't answer my mail. She was a cheerleader and grew up and got married. Maybe since she’s married she won't talk to me. Just like the 2 married women going to Czech and my therefore having to stay home. In my Zito 5 this morning, I noticed it took 14 verses to read 6 minutes. I always read 6 minutes because if you start the later part of the 1st minute and finish the early part of the 5th minute, you don’t get 5 minutes worth. Besides, I feel the Lord blessing me for reading the Bible at least 5 minutes before I cut the TV on. When I got in a smallgroup years ago, not my current, and I referred to church members as brother or sister, the leader would very cautiously draw up and make a face of fear like I was a cult or something. I kept trying to remember this verse to defend myself. he thought brother and sister references are cultish. Mark 3 Jesus’ Mother and Brothers 31Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” 33“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. 34Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 5Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” [-] If I’d said look at Mark 3:4, I could’ve defended myself! That’s why it’s good to know the Bible very well. I just mailed a book to a publisher. Please pray for the time and trend means it’s a best seller. If I have books all over The world, what a great way to advertise my Web and church address!! Hundreds thousands words sermons from pew: myspace.com/michaeldeehouse in my blogs. NO! I just tried to log on and found it terminated. I was sending Mom’s work detail yesterday. That’s likely the reason. It’s no surprise. 1356 people had visited the blog and over 1400 had visited my Bible blog! I know Jesus has a reason for this. But my heart is still broken. I just found this: http://readcol1.blogspot.com/
Maybe it’s God Almighty’s way of getting it around. It has other stuff to say. Jesus didn’t get my permission. I don’t see a counter. But it just hit me! Unless you are a member of my space you can't see that blog. Maybe that’s why my membership was terminated.
http://www.blogger.com/profile/09007865138829279696 That is a link to reach other links. Sorry for all the links. I just found some of my books for sale. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books&field-author=Michael%20%22Dee%22%20House The hilarious thing is I’m not receiving any money. Please pray for money to start favorably coming in my name. praise the Lord my books are out there. I remember when I started. I almost fainted as I lifted weights in 93 when I thought of my books out for sale. I knew it’d happen and 13 yrs later it did. I always wondered why The world refuses salvation and these verses say it: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (New International Version) 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. The Spirit is He and the god of the word is the devil! Those are 2 mistakes I often make. God Almighty is my God Almighty and that’s easy to mistake with The world’s god. AT Granny’s funeral a lady try to comfort me by saying Granny is looking down, protecting me. I shook my head no. they gasped. I clarified in heaven you have NO idea God Almighty could create anything like earth. I told how wonderfully beautiful, magnificently lovely, superbly picturesque, amazingly scenic, and astonishingly delightful God Almighty is and heaven too. I found that in my one on One encounter of Him and 17 years later I’m still feeling it! It helps me accept the many deaths in my family. It pains me to see hundreds thousands words sermons from pew: myspace.com/michaeldeehouse in my blogs is no longer available. Think of all the people using the sermons so close to the end. Please share my blogger. It also has some sermons. Please pray for the my space blog to be restored. I have it under wrietur@gmail.com and michael”DEE”house. I want to reach every church worldwide, for my books to be as common as hymn books. That would be a Spiritual feat, but is what God Almighty wants? Or just michael”DEE”house*? I have to seek Jesus first. I have to yearn His way before mine. I was just cutting my hair and the attachment scared me. I thought it’d fallen off. The green attachment would do that and I'd get an uneven shave. It made me think of something else. Conditions making an encounter seem like a lie and refusal to let you prove yourself. People believe what they want to. If you want to be saved enough, you’ll do research and find you have to confess with your mouth Jesus is your Lord and Savior and invite Him in your heart. Then after you do that you’ll be saved. You have to believe. I saved to a used cd-r and before I did that I put it in the drive and went to fix coffee. In the kitchen, I heard Bo Bice on my pc and found he automatically booted up on media player. I didn’t even know I had Bo on a CD. I had an editor give me a Bo CD, but I lost it.
Reaching Bible Study late, a praise request is summoned. I say I had A PRAYER REQUEST, BUT--. No, I'm quickly told praise request. After some are given I tell about Richard B. Russel park, Richard B. Russel library, Richard B. Russel parkway. There's also Russel town. I tell about his step daughter’s sister telling me her sister made a face when I asked her out probably because she thought I was being mean. Either way no is still unending. Food pantry had a 38” long refrigerator given to it. The conveying was a miracle. Peggy says the prayer. Don’t be double minded about God Almighty. Not “We’ll see.” Say if it’s God Almighty’s will. God Almighty will have final say. Our niche is our calling. Charles and Ernestine did their calling as missionaries 28 yrs. That’s how old my brother was that committed suicide! The devil plays games with your mind. We have to trust Jesus. Don’t have the devil lens.
James 1:7 (King James Version)
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
I recall my bishop saying parking a junk car in the back to not be seen is just as proud as parking shiny new care to not get scratched. Chuick-fil-A is owned by Christians. The founder. Oh, I should’ve said Zaxby’s founders are Christians too. My brother lived with them a while. Zack and Eric Meeler. Their mom also Christian. Having too much is a horrible feeling. Lottery winners are soon broke because they’re not used to having money. Nilda’s dad died and had a full room visitors. A millionaire same funeral home died and had no visitors. The more you have, the more you should help. Pay your tithes the very, very first thing. Pay off church mortgage, so they can help people.
James 1:11-12 (King James Version)
11For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Since you get a crown for doing good deeds, will there be degrees in hell? Hardship will bring you so down that the only way you can look is up. Always get nearer the Lord. Don’t let tests run you away. When I went girl crazy, I saw my body was wrong. I prayed, I begged God Almighty to erase it. 181 rejections later that’s exactly what I got. %1,000. persevere or lose your salvation. You need humility, perseverance, and control. Adam and Eve were tested 1 time. I ask if Cain got married. There are lots of opinions about that. Cain got a wife in Nod. Ideas are all we have. We are unequipped. People try to explain stuff.
James 3 (King James Version)
James 3
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Teachers have to be very careful. I think of my brother’s suicide. he admitted Jesus is his Savior with his mouth and I said he was saved. he lit up happy.
James 1:13-14 (King James Version)
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
God Almighty can't b tempted. Tested and tempted are different. A teabag is no good without hot water. Everything starts in your mind. Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking it gets results. Hey! After God Almighty answered my prayer and removed my stimulus, I quit trying, lol. Now2 I can focus on God Almighty. Denial, denial, denial, denial, denial, denial, denial doesn’t make a difference. Admit your sin and move on. When you believe in God Almighty, sin makes you sick. You have to repent when you grieve the holy Spirit. Stay unintoxicated. Persevere. Persist. Continue. Keep at it. There’s always an answer. Things will work out for you. In the long run, God Almighty has a plan. Reach out. Help people. I’m told to stop talking about rejection. That’s though it answered my prayer. 181 rejections. I feel completely different about women now. I used to see them overrated. While I was at a church convention, Dad killed himself. The flesh had a hold of him. On the way home, I joked with a friend’s mom and there was a feeling of care in a caring way. Christian. A week later she was killed on the way to church. Also, a few years ago, my Sunday school teacher there for years died. Your faith means everything.
James 1:15 (King James Version)
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
So many people blame God Almighty for what they did.
James 1:16-17 (King James Version)
16Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Wisdom comes from God Almighty. God Almighty is light. Every good gift comes from God Almighty. There are conditions. God Almighty isn’t responsible for human sin. People ask why God Almighty allowed this to happen. That's our feeling. Repent for sin. Be like the Prodigal Son. You have to take it upon yourself first. Sin is sin. Don’t justify sin. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Sin makes sin easy. Rewards in heaven? So there are degrees in hell?
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." -JESUS in Luke 16:31 Oh, I just remembered Papa was in a nursing home named after Richard B. Russel. …. I just went to prayer. Matthew 10 verse 5-6These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions verse "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. [-] 6 women and me. 7 people in all. I was praying what was on my heart. Lord Jesus gave me a perspective change. After 181 rejections, I felt wholly and completely different than previous. I was thanking Jesus for the change. For seeing the truth. For the life I feel after the change. Along w 181 rejections and Dad dying, Granny dying, Papa dying, brother dying, uncle dying, best friend dying, neighbor dying, family friend all my life dying,

I got up 5 this morning and thought it was 6. only to check the clock to see how very wrong I was. Slipups are common for humans. Sometimes a mistake will lead to a blunder and that
will lead to an error and that will lead to a fault. It turns into a lost life taking lives w it sometimes. Now it’s 6:30 and I’m completely ready for church. Misplaced priorities will mess you up. Back when I was girl crazy, I was overrating 1 thing, but I knew my feelings weren’t right. So I prayed for Jesus to do something. After #181 rejected me, the paradigm shift that came was like a revolution. Overrating became rationalizing became reducing became decreasing became downsizing, ting back on. In conclusion, my prayer made my tastes more providential. Exodus 3 verse 14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . [a] This is what you are to say to the Israelites verse 'I AM has sent me to you.'

At this time it read: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Section 4 of the Flag Code states: The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute." [-] When I read that to my elementary school, that was the most nerve racking thing I've ever done!

Mark 13:9-14 (King James Version)
9But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Hebrews 10
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
1The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7Then I said, 'Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, O God.' "[a] 8First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). 9Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16"This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds."[b] 17Then he adds:
Threes nothing wrong w salvation. Threes nothing wrong w PEACE. Threes nothing wrong w JOY. Threes nothing wrong w LOVE. I ask Pat to pray for my book. I’m trying to do 20 k words a day. This morning I did 500. Please pray w her. Offering. I go to get %m out of my wallet. Gaping. Eyes wide. Mouth open. I ask Edwin if he stole my money. H has the offering plate in his hands. H doesn’t know what happened to my money. Lord, help me know You are near. God Almighty says I am His friend. Pray to be receptive. There’s a video on a plant. Different plant. Different stages. Best stage is the 1 that's ‘growing.’ Be open to what God Almighty is saying to you. There was an Abundant Life teen talent and we won trophies. I remember talking about my competitive spirit before church. Brienna, Tyler, our trio, and Danielle won trophies. Make a full commitment to Jesus. Take up your cross daily. Die to self. It reminds me of going girl crazy, praying against it, 181 rejections turning me medically off, and the better focus I have on Jesus. It’s after the prayer for Him to help me and I’m so, so thankful! What kind of soil are you? Are you close to God Almighty? What deposits has God Almighty made in your life? Live right. It’s more than just salvation. What is God Almighty speaking to your heart? Shallow if it’s just going to heaven. You are called to a deeper level. Are you rich w nutrients. Are you close to God Almighty? We all have an adversary. The devil tears you down. H steals the truth from you. Has the message been stole from you?
11But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Do you just put on a show? How are you w nobody looking? Are you a feel good Christian? Only Godly when you feel good? Read the Bible everyday always. Pray always. Give when you don’t feel like it always. Walk it out. Marriage is the hardest thing for most people. I feel good about praying to be turned off and Jesus’ answering it when I hear that. Shallow roots won't make it in marriage. Don’t have rocky soil. It’s so neat I was thinking about this and being medically turned off before church w no idea it was coming. If you grow in rocky soil, you are scorched. Y9oull wilt in hot winds. Don’t let the Word get choked out. You’ll find the Lord is better. I’m so gracious I prayed to get turned off * I did. My buddy met a woman in the park and very soon moved her in. I’m not saying anything, but think. Be always kind, caring, sympathetic, nice, gentle, thoughtful, compassionate, benevolent, humane, considerate, benign, humanitarian, kindly. You Are ALW TESTED. Take up your cross. Receive the message. Get free. Jesus has an expectation of you. Take people w you. What type of soil are you? Right when I got saved, I wanted to start a teen night club that played Christian rock nonstop. I was 19. Terrible 2s are very, very terrible w terrible parents. Dotty’s real name is Dorothy. I didn’t know that. An outline helps teach class. When I hear that, I remember saying a plan helps you reach your goal. Tom moves up by me to hear the teacher. Ernestine apologizes about not having leaflets. I volunteer to take blame. We get new quarterlies. A member tells about a child eating paper. Dave Rapson moved to Tennessee. We miss him. Ernestine says I won't be interested in today’s lesson. Marriage. I’m always glorying God Almighty for 181 women rejecting me. It may not sound good, but it’s very, very much better than being girl crazy. The more you do something, the easier it gets. They’re talking about public speaking. It always scared me in school. I tell about giving the Pledge to my elementary school on PA and very, very nervous, trembling. What do you think about marriage? Following 181 rejections, it’s the last thing I want. Is it optional? Some single people are happy. I won’t be asking anybody out After 181 rejections, so…. God Almighty intends marriage. Les doesn’t know how you can live unmarried. Before 181 rejections, I had the same view. It used to be everybody’s ultimate goal in life. If God Almighty doesn’t bring anybody in your life, it’s better to be alone. You can devote entirely to God Almighty. Don’t condemn single. Sacred institution or sacred option. You can't live together. Pray and God Almighty will show you the right way. God Almighty established marriage as a basic institution. < Previous Next >
BIBLE DICTIONARY
Marriage
Among the Israelites, marriage was usually preceded by a formal act of betrothal, such a contract, when once entered on, being regarded as absolutely binding. On the marriage day, the bride was escorted to her husband’s home by a procession consisting of her own companions and the “friends of the bridegroom,” or “children of the bride-chamber,” some carrying torches, and others myrtle branches and chaplets of flowers. When she reached the house, words such as “Take her according to the law of Moses and of Israel” were spoken, the pair were crowned with garlands, and a marriage deed was signed. After the prescribed washing of hands and benediction, the marriage supper was held. For a year after marriage a man was released from all military service. The gospel law of marriage is partially given in Matthew 19:4-9

1 Corinthians 7
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
21Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
29But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
. Its meaning, as symbolizing the union between Christ and the Church, is explained in Ephesians 5:22-32 (King James Version)
22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Latter-day revelation tells us that marriage under the law of the gospel and the holy priesthood is for eternity, and that men and women thus sealed in marriage continue to have children throughout eternity. Although this concept of marriage is not fully presented in our present Bible, traces of it are found in Matthew 16:16-19

23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
. However, the fullest explanation is found in D&C 132.
Shun the very appearance of evil. Some people even condemn that law. It reminds me of a no from a woman means I’m not asking her out again. Pam still hasn’t told me if she wants to play pool. Why did God Almighty give Adam Eve? Class says man needs help. 1 lady says men are weaker than women. 2 people disagree. I quote Ray Barone and say we open jars and kill bugs. Men are irresponsible. Threes an enmity between us. Women give men direction and warnings. I start talking about the book I’m writing. Buy I’m hushed. It wasn’t bad. Men need women’s intuition. I don’t get a chance to explain women have a stronger right brain left brain connection is why. They know after 181 rejections by women I can't have anything good to say about women. When I do say something about the gift of lost stimulus due to 181 rejections, I get karate chopped on my neck by a woman from behind. I deserved that. I’m just so gracious I’m NO LONGER girl crazy! Adam named all the animals and God Almighty decided h needed Eve. It was the 1st surgery. God Almighty used Adam’s rib. (Papa was missing 1 more rib than usual.) Animals couldn’t communicate w Adam. Eve wasn’t of head to trample on or of foot to be trampled on, but of side to be beside. Genesis 2:23 (New International Version)
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [a] '
for she was taken out of man."
God Almighty used bone and that’s where white cells and red cells are created. In the morrow. Everything has a purpose. I write myself a reminder to get Rocking the Rabbi tickets. Joyce, at the desk, sends me to Ladonna in already begun sanctuary. I give her the money and leave then her husband catches me w a ticket. But that’s later. Man is made for woman and vice versa. I think of 181 and as much as I praise the Lord all day everyday I decide that’s why I was created. I read about Joseph in the well, praising the Lord, and felt my calling then in 98.

Bp179
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us; They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us: We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul; Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul. Psalm 124:2-5 [-] NO doubt the times are getting uglier day by day. The flesh wants you to be overwhelmed and if that's not possible, it'll make you hopefully fear getting overwhelmed. I was definitely overwhelmed in college when they lied about inability to get permission to let me out of an overwhelming schedule of classes. I had NO idea what to do. And the fact they called themselves a Christian college was another hurtful aspect. I thought you should be able to trust a Christian label. Once again God Almighty was showing me you cannot trust people. That’s scary because some of those people were preachers. Or how about my Theology teacher??? You wouldn't be expecting him to work for a dirty college. Especially 1 misrepresenting the Name of Jesus! It’s very ugly to be overwhelmed when your chemicals are already shook up. Stand on the Rock! You have to do that to be a good representative of Jesus. If you are gullible, you'll be easier to get besieged by the attacks of the devil. In college, I was already snowed under by immense homework from other classes then having this 1 put stuff on the tests that was NEVER reviewed and wasn't in our notes was enough to get anybody inundated. The Lord is testing your faith when you see reason for doubt. If you lead a wholesome life and shun the very appearance of evil, you are less likely to get beleaguered by tactics of the forces of darkness. The world is always against the church and always will be. You'll feel the world trying to humiliate, disgrace, put you down, show you up, humble, and debase you. The flesh sends people in your path to get you plagued with disappointment. After the world gets you beset, it'll have most of the battle won. If the flesh can get you weighed down with yourself, it has the battle won. My computer pop up blocker cut itself off. I had no idea why. (System restore maybe!) The Brinks security alarm went bad the same day. I didn't know why. Laying in bed after I did my Zito 5, I remembered looking at the wireless Linksys yesterday and after that thought, I remembered unplugging, replugging it. Then it hit me the computer went from Linksys to something else to pop up porn. I soon closed it, but I don't know if any other porn pop ups have manifested. The second I noticed it I held my power button to shutoff & lose EVERYTHING I was working on!!! I always have a lot of windows open. It’s easier to tolerate the stuff you do not know about without knowing about it. Did you stand at the bus stop in twenty-30 degree weather? On those days, I was in luck. From a window I saw the bus coming at a great distance. And had plenty of time to get to the bus stop in time. Now I see how lucky I was twenty years later. I go to prayer. Seated, I get a sheer remembrance of Granny. She died of cancer and I had to move to Florida. I couldn't take a stand where I'd rather be. I had to bear the move. Took a year to adjust. I remembered Granny, the church secretary, uncle, the church maintenance man, and Mom, the church past Sunday school teacher. It resounds in my mind what a great gift to be a part of the church. Doubtless something that feels like I should be doing for that. Reason? Yes, God Almighty is calling us and it’s our, everybody’s choice, to be part of the church. I also have Uncle Tip, a preacher. Gulp! Today it hit me why I'm in the church like I am. I remember Dad dying, Granny dying, Papa dying, brother dying, uncle dying, best friend dying, neighbor dying, family friend all my life dying,
Hebrews 12
1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
We can't do that without Jesus & the cross. The 10% is taken, gets multiplied. & gets handed back to you. Thank God for Jesus dying for you. By faith give 10 back to God. God is jealous for me. Aaron is singing & he is well practiced up. You can tell by his rhythm & timing. Jesus loves us. How Jesus loves us. We are God’s portion. He is our Prize. Think of the way Jesus loves us. I’m getting ready for Renaissance Festival. NOT what I want to do! Please pray everything goes well. I’m ill about inability to make decisions. Close your eyes & pray for your # 1 need, hug somebody’s neck you don’t know. Art comes & hugs me. Poison. Carnal.
Fatal. Worldly. Toxic UnGodly. Poisonous Secular. Venomous. Material. Destroy. Substance. Exterminate. Stuff. The screen is appetizing to the flesh. Sexy women & sexual innuendo. The images are eye openers. I think, In church? Then I think that’s the best place to discuss this. It’s amazing that was on my mind before I came to church. I was thinking of the deaths in my family. Dad dying, Granny dying, Papa dying, brother dying, uncle dying, best friend dying, neighbor dying, family friend all my life dying,

Hebrews 12
Jesus, the Example
1Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also (A)lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us (B)run with (C)endurance the race that is set before us,
2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the (D)author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him (E)endured the cross, (F)despising the shame, and has (G)sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3For (H)consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary (I)and lose heart.
A Father's Discipline
4(J)You have not yet resisted (K)to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;
5and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
"(L)MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD,
NOR (M)FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;
6(N)FOR THOSE (O)WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES,
AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."
7It is for discipline that you endure; (P)God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8But if you are without discipline, (Q)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we (R)respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to (S)the Father of spirits, and (T)live?
10For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, (U)so that we may share His holiness.
11All discipline (V)for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the (W)peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12Therefore, (X)strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,
13and (Y)make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather (Z)be healed.
14(AA)Pursue peace with all men, and the (AB)sanctification without which no one will (AC)see the Lord.
15See to it that no one (AD)comes short of the grace of God; that no (AE)root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be (AF)defiled;
16that there be no (AG)immoral or (AH)godless person like Esau, (AI)who sold his own birthright for a single meal.
17For you know that even afterwards, (AJ)when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.
Contrast of Sinai and Zion
18(AK)For you have not come to (AL)a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,
19and to the (AM)blast of a trumpet and the (AN)sound of words which sound was such that those who heard (AO)begged that no further word be spoken to them.
20For they could not bear the command, "(AP)IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED."
21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "(AQ)I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling."
22But (AR)you have come to Mount Zion and to (AS)the city of (AT)the living God, (AU)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (AV)myriads of angels,
23to the general assembly and (AW)church of the firstborn who (AX)are enrolled in heaven, and to God, (AY)the Judge of all, and to the (AZ)spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24and to Jesus, the (BA)mediator of a new covenant, and to the (BB)sprinkled blood, which speaks better than (BC)the blood of Abel.
The Unshaken Kingdom
25(BD)See to it that you do not refuse Him who is (BE)speaking For (BF)if those did not escape when they (BG)refused him who (BH)warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who (BI)warns from heaven.
26And (BJ)His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "(BK)YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."
27This expression, "Yet once more," denotes (BL)the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28Therefore, since we receive a (BM)kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may (BN)offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
29for (BO)our God is a consuming fire.

Proverbs 5
1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

Pitfalls of Immorality
1My son, (A)give attention to my wisdom,
(B)Incline your ear to my understanding;
2That you may (C)observe discretion
And your (D)lips may reserve knowledge.
3For the lips of an (E)adulteress (F)drip honey
And (G)smoother than oil is her speech;
4But in the end she is (H)bitter as wormwood,
(I)Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5Her feet (J)go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.
6She does not ponder the (K)path of life;
Her ways are (L)unstable, she (M)does not know it.

Proverbs 5
7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Tiger’s image was marred. He has worked VERY hard to get where he is. STDs will kill you. Many stars have shown the effect of immorality. Consequences of sin are costly. Bill Clinton, Tiger, & Kobe to name as few. They’re seen as studs at first then shames. Alimony, blackmail, & regret. It feels right at 1st. The world thinks preachers just want your money. You have the authority to lose the unGodly spirits. There’; no purgatory. No middle ground. I'm very glad Pastor Anthony said that. My Christian college dorm had me convinced otherwise. After repenting, your sin is as far as East is from the West. Your own righteousness is as filthy rags. Without God’s grace you don't have eternal life. When you go outside of the boundaries, you hurt yourself. You can't get away with it. Dad always said there's the caught & the uncaught. Till he was found dead by his house. Uninvestigated. Drugs. Hefner has a false sense of security.
15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Christianity isn’t against sex. Let your wife be a blessing to you. I wish I could be unturned off by my 181 rejections. sex goes with marriage. Christians should have more sex than anybody. Husband, be good to your wife. Speak her love language. God created sex for Christians. Premarital sex is all wrong. Pastor Anthony is VERY protective of his daughters. He looks ready to fight & silence falls over the sanctuary as we watch him intensely express his sentiment. A tense spirit falls over the church in response to Pastor Anthony’s rage. Desire shouldn't be enacted upon. Don’t condemn homosexuality. We all have different struggles. All sin is the same to God. In the past, single was exalted. Easier to focus on God. Following 181 rejections, I have to say it still is.
1 Corinthians 7 (New International Version)
1 Corinthians 7
Marriage
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts. 20Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. 21Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. 23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 24Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to.
25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; 30those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
36If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. 37But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better.[b]
39A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Footnotes:
1. 1 Corinthians 7:1 Or "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."
2. 1 Corinthians 7:38 Or 36 If anyone thinks he is not treating his daughter properly, and if she is getting along in years, and he feels she ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. He should let her get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind to keep the virgin unmarried-this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who gives his virgin in marriage does right, but he who does not give her in marriage does even better.
Single can be devoted to God.
20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray
God sees everything. Choices determine your destiny. People with most freedom have most self discipline. Bring the flesh under subjection to the honor of Jesus. Discipline your body. It reminds me of my girl crazy days. I HAD to do something. I begged Jesus for a fix! 181 rejections made desire disappear!!!!!!! Jesus can transform you. Accountability openness, peer pressure. Light overcomes darkness.

Leviticus 18:1-20 (King James Version)
Leviticus 18
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
King James Version (KJV)
God is the Lord. He spoke to Moses. Everything God does is good for us. Moral life is rewarding. A woman always caring for her invalid brother was given 2 hours by hospital workers. (The 1st thing Granny bought after her 1st job was her invalid brother a TV.) This other saint got 2 hours & a delicious meal. SO many people out there are badly messing up their lives. Not just sex is messing things up. Keep serving Jesus & see special favor. Id be so blessed to minister every church worldwide. Sex has equal sins. Don’t go America’s direction.

Answer
Hey Kristymarie,
Thank you so much for your question!
Unfortunately the Bible does not give a clear cut definition of sexual immorality. However, there are some areas that show us what it means. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." This is helpful because it really says, anything sexual outside of marriage is immoral. Over and over in the Bible, we are charged not to commit sexual immorality. It seems that in this time sexual immorality was a no-brainer. "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality..." Galatians 5:19. They knew what Paul and the other writers were talking about. Sexual activities outside of marriage=sexual immorality. "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality." Ephesians 5:3
I hope this clears things up a little bit for you. I wish you the very best in your walk with Christ. Bible No excuses
Incest in the Bible does not entirely overlap with the definition of incest in many modern nations. A few books of the Bible, particularly the early parts of the Torah, contain narratives in which certain individuals, from the same family as one another, engage in sexual intercourse together; while this could be construed as incest, endogamy is an alternative interpretation. The Bible does not, for example, forbid cousins from marrying, but it does prohibit sexual relations with several other close relatives.

[edit] Definition of Incest
In ancient times, tribal nations preferred endogamous marriage - marriage to one's relatives[1]; the ideal marriage was usually that to a cousin, and it was often forbidden for an eldest daughter to even marry outside the family[1]. Marriage to a half-sister, for example, would be considered incest by most nations today, but it was standard behaviour for Egyptian pharaohs; similarly, the Book of Genesis portrays Sarah as marrying Abraham, her half-brother, without criticising the close genetic relationship between them[2], and the Book of Samuel treats the marriage of a royal prince to his sister as unusual[3], rather than wicked[1]. The issue of consanguinuity is thus a complicated one, and the exact definition of incest varies throughout the Bible and Rabbinical literature.
The Holiness Code of Leviticus elaborates in detail the relationships which it regards as incestuous unions[4], and two chapters later specifies punishments for specific incestuous unions, but this second list of unions is much shorter than the first[5]; textual scholars regard these two lists as having originally been independent documents, bound together at a later point[6][7][8]. The Deuteronomic Code, gives a yet more simple list of forbidden relationships - just parent's daughter (including sister), father's wife (including mother), and mother-in-law[9][10]. These lists only mention relationships with female relatives; excluding lesbianism, this implies that the list is addressed to men. These lists of forbidden unions compare as follows (the relations highlighted in green are those which are forbidden):
God keeps saying “I am the Lord.” We must listen. Sexual abuse is bad. Don’t judge people. Abused need people not abuser. But look at how 181 rejections answered my prayer. People often want help. Even Christians fall to incest. Relatives by blood & in-laws are incest. Some get very bold.
Some women are predators. Some use excuses to get men in unnegotionable positions. I point out sometimes you & a woman are at point A & before you know it you are at point B suddenly naked with no remembered time between the 2 points. But little about that is said. It actually gets a very indirect rebuttal. You know if somebody is attracted to you. Then you should have a guard up & be ready to change direction of things. You need to keep a PURE MIND.
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Moloch, Molech, Molekh, Molek, or Moloc, representing Semitic מולך m-l-k, (a root which occurs in various Hebrew and Arabic words related to kings) is either the name of a god or the name of a particular kind of sacrifice associated with fire. Moloch was historically affiliated with cultures throughout the Middle East, including the Ammonite, Hebrew, Canaanite,[1] Phoenician and related cultures in North Africa and the Levant.
In modern English usage, "Moloch" can refer derivatively to any person or thing which demands or requires costly sacrifices.

[edit] Forms and grammar
The Hebrew letters מלך (mlk) usually stand for melek 'king' (Proto-Northwest Semitic malku) but when vocalized as mōlek in Masoretic Hebrew text, they have been traditionally understood as a proper name Μολοχ (molokh) (Proto-Northwest Semitic Mulku) in the corresponding Greek renderings in the Septuagint translation, in Aquila, and in the Middle Eastern Targum. The form usually appears in the compound lmlk. The Hebrew preposition l- means "to", but it can often mean "for" or "as a(n)". Accordingly one can translate lmlk as "to Moloch" or "for Moloch" or "as a Moloch", or "to the Moloch" or "for the Moloch" or "as the Moloch", whatever a "Moloch" or "the Moloch" might be. We also once find hmlk 'the Moloch' standing by itself.
Because there is no difference between mlk 'king' and mlk 'moloch' in unpointed text, interpreters sometimes suggest molek should be understood in certain places where the Masoretic text is vocalized as melek, and vice versa.
Moloch has been traditionally interpreted as the name of a god, possibly a god titled the king, but purposely mispronounced as Molek instead of Melek using the vowels of Hebrew bosheth "shame".[2]
Moloch appears in the Hebrew of 1 Kings 11:7 (on Solomon's religious failings):
Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and lmlk, the abomination of the Sons of Ammon.
In other passages, however, the god of the Ammonites is named Milcom, not Moloch (see 1 Kings 11.33; Zephaniah 1.5). The Septuagint reads Milcom in 1 Kings 11.7 instead of Moloch which suggests a scribal error in the Hebrew. Many English translations accordingly follow the non-Hebrew versions at this point and render Milcom. The form mlkm can also mean "their king" as well as Milcom, and therefore one cannot always be sure in some other passages whether the King of Ammon is intended or the god Milcom.
It has also been suggested that the Ba‘al of Tyre, Melqart "king of the city" (who was probably the Ba‘al whose worship was furthered by Ahab and his house) was this supposed god Moloch and that Melqart/Moloch was also Milcom the god of the Ammonites and identical to other gods whose names contain mlk.
Amos 5:26 reads in close translation:
But you shall carry Sikkut your king,
and Kiyyun, your images, the star-symbol of your god
which you made for yourself.
The Septuagint renders "your king" as Moloch, perhaps from a scribal error, whence the verse appears in Acts 7.43:
You have lifted up the shrine of Molech
and the star of your god Rephan,
the idols you made to worship.
Other references to Moloch use mlk only in the context of "passing children through fire lmlk", whatever is meant by lmlk, whether it means "to Moloch" or means something else. It has traditionally been understood to mean burning children alive to the god Moloch. But some have suggested a rite of purification by fire instead, though perhaps a dangerous one. References to passing through fire without mentioning mlk appear in Deuteronomy 12:31, 18:10-13; 2 Kings 21.6; Ezekiel 20.26,31; 23.37. So the existence of this practice is well documented. For a comparable practice of rendering infants immortal by passing them through the fire, indirectly attested in early Greek myth, see the entries for Thetis and also the myth of Demeter as the nurse of Demophon.
[edit] Biblical texts
An 18th century illustration of Moloch.
The word here translated literally as 'seed' very often means offspring. The forms containing mlk have been left untranslated. The reader may substitute either "to Moloch" or "as a molk".
The laws given to Moses by God expressly forbade the Israelites to do what was done in Egypt or in Canaan. “You shall not give any of your children to devote them by fire to Moloch, and so profane the name of your God” (Lev. 18:21).[3].
Leviticus 18:21:
And you shall not let any of your seed pass through l'Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
Leviticus 20:2-5:
Again, you shall say to the Sons of Israel: Whoever he be of the Sons of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his seed l'Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed l'Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives of his seed l'Molech, and do not kill him, then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, whoring l'Molech from among the people.
2 Kings 23:10 (on King Josiah's reform):
And he defiled the Tophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire l'Molech.
Jeremiah 32:35:
And they built the high places of the Ba‘al, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire l'Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it come into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
[edit] Jewish rabbinic commentary
The 12th century rabbi Rashi, commenting on Jeremiah 7:31 stated:
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.
A rabbinical tradition attributed to the Yalkout of Rabbi Simeon,[4] says that the idol was hollow and was divided into seven compartments, in one of which they put flour, in the second turtle-doves, in the third a ewe, in the fourth a ram, in the fifth a calf, in the sixth an ox, and in the seventh a child, which were all burned together by heating the statue inside.
Purity is called the dark ages, but impurity is the dark ages. I try to talk about 181 rejections extinguishing my drive, stimulus, but I get quieted. Sometimes estrogen & testosterone get messed up because of abuse. 1nc I read testosterone plays a much bigger part in a woman’s sex drive than is often quoted. My friend’s wife agreed & said she read the same thing. Rape & hatred for men make women prefer women often. Is that God’s fault? Why is an addicted baby allowed to be born? My feelings for the 181 seem to be spoken to. Plus you have to figure ion how I feel about Dad dying, Granny dying, Papa dying, brother dying, uncle dying, best friend dying, neighbor dying, family friend all my life dying,
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
“Men” are looking at porn & wrecking marriages. Tiger was so respected before. It’s not just us that pay consequences. Don’t tell dirty jokes. Be free from all immorality.
Romans 1:27 (New International Version)
27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

If your security alarm goes bad, you do not have to unscrew the thing on the car port ceiling. I just learned all you have to do is kick the breaker off. I'm color blind. In my elementary school till third grade I never met a black person. After getting slapped in the face and put in a public school, I met black people for the first time in my life and have loved them ever since Luke 9:57-58 The Cost of Following Jesus 57As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." [-] When the opponent ran past first base and the ball came in but he kept running, I thought surely we have this game won. We were tied in the 9th. Then our pitcher kept giving. Runs, giving. Runs, giving. Runs, giving. Runs. I think he was paid off. They hit a homer. We lost. Luke 14:25-twenty-seven The Cost of Being a Disciple 25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. 27And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. [-] Giving. The flesh or the foe benefit and credit, you are giving. The enemy artillery. It’s not a good feeling to lose a game. Discomfort is uneasiness is smething that leads to distress is smething that leads to anxiety. Discomfort is a humility that gets you in a better condition if you remain strong.

Suffering for Being a Christian
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God Almighty rests on you. 15If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God Almighty that you bear that name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God Almighty; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God Almighty? 18And,
"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"[a]
19So then, those who suffer according to God Almighty's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

[-] …. WOW!!! I've been reading and writing all day every day! I Knew I was tired, but I kept pushing myself! Papa was the same way my age, making over 1m dollars a year! Are you a Kingdom builder or a wealth builder? Seeing my wallet is dry, I guess with my ministry I'm a Kingdom builder! Last night I ate Greek food at the Athenian Garden and it was delicious! I wasted no food there! The power just went off. Praise the Lord the battery on my laptop saved my document! The power came back on praise the Lord! As long as you depend on humans, you will have trouble. The very, very much writing and reading has caught up with me. I had no say so about it. That's the reason I get so tired in the evenings. I kept looking at the clock and finally forced myself out of bed. 1 Peter 5:10 10And the God Almighty of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. [-] Last night was the very, very first time I slept 12 hrs. I hope depression hasn't snuck back up on me. In college, when I was studying every waking moment for the schedule they said was too hard and only gave it to me to determine what classes to drop, then said they couldn't get permission, yet my parents said they weren't asked, I threw my head as hard as I could into a concrete wall. I'm AMAZED it didn't kill me!! It was Valentine's 96 and now it was just Valentine's 10! Maybe that's why I slept so long! I know reading and writing too has greatly worn me down. 11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, It’s more like a consequence that kept me in bed not necessarily a rebuke. Though you could say I'm getting rebuke for not resting. When you are over tired, you cannot think right. James 1:4 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. People disrespect the truth. That's because it steps on their toes. But they crave the effect of the truth. James 1:8 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. [-] You are better off doing right away what Lord Jesus is telling you to do. You can always run from God Almighty. Free will. We humans are famous for exercising our free will and regretting it. We’re also famous for blaming our leader every time we get ourselves into something inevitable. Jonah 1:1-3 Jonah Flees From the LORD 1 The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." 3 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. [-] The Athenian Garden was delicious and meant I got stuffed. It helped me sleep late, I see. The reading and writing also helped. In the evening, I'm always a walking zombie. In the Super Bowl, I stretched out on chairs to watch it and fell asleep a second. I had a therapist(s,) say my reading and writing has educated me beyond the point I'd be without the traumatic brain injury. That gives me zeal to exercise my reading and writing. For 17 years I've pushed myself to read more and read more and read more and read more and…. Sixteen hours nonstop is a record I do not want to break again, though I wish it was regularly. If you do not turn to Jesus, something will stop you in your tracks and everything else will be a lot of wasted time. Jonah 1:17-2:10
17 But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2
Jonah's Prayer
1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God Almighty. 2 He said:
"In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave [a] I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.
4 I said, 'I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.'
5 The engulfing waters threatened me, [b]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God Almighty.
7 "When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.
8 "Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD."
10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights. [-] Season A and season b are very, very different. Ask any newlywed. Wait, Michael, you've never been married. Right, but getting rejected by 181 gave me an unrivaled clarity I'm ever gracious for. My body was depressed and hit hard for a very, very good reason. I could therefore stop and see what my nature was overlooking. It gave me different priority where I was able to focus more on Jesus and pray for more valuable things. I'm near finishing another book. Number twenty-one fiction. It’s my new style. My characters are about 41. At least the star is. Please pray the timing of trend, tendency, drift, leaning, inclination, movement, and development all rub off on my book the moment I send it in, making the publishers decide to publish it, and it sells so well editors decide to prepare all my other books, which too are worldwide best sellers. My prayer in my depression over the 181 rejections meant I started my much writing. Sometimes you are getting in a place to pray the thing you need to pray. Do you think you are praying for what you should be praying for? Jonah 2 Jonah's Prayer 1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God Almighty. 2 He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave [a] I called for help, and you listened to my cry. [-] My prayer for God Almighty to bless my destiny was blessed by my writing more books and getting them in the market, waiting for the trends to make them more salable. Unless a book is a big seller they will not publish them because it costs so much to publish them. When you go with vanity press, you spend more money than you make. When you pray to the Lord, be sure you are praying something He wants you to pray. I started praying as a toddler then had a Christian kindegardten class till third grade. So prayer is very, very common for me,. I pity people without a prayer life. It’s been the most rewarding thing I've ever had. Jonah is a good example for what he said: 3 You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me. 4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' 5 The engulfing waters threatened me, [b] the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. 6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God Almighty. 7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. 8 "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. 9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD." 10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. [-] Something unfair will happen to you and it feels utmost indescribable, humiliating, and you want to clarify the details leading to it, but you absolutely cannot get the needed circumstances. Then you`ll see what they saw in their shoes and you understand it completely different than that person would. Then you see what you saw in an all new way. Jonah 1:fifteen 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. [-] New International Version (NIV) Jonah 3:5-10 5 The Ninevites believed God Almighty. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. 6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God Almighty. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God Almighty may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish. 10 When God Almighty saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened. [-] If you are bad about jumping to conclusions, people who beat around the bush will make you take the wrong road because of your decisions. To beat around the bush means to scare birds out of their hiding places and harvest them as hunters. Be straight up with people. You'll avoid more trouble if you cut to the chase. My brother called a neighbor and he got something he didn't like. I think the guy was on the other line. And didn't want to talk. Justin was demeaning before he hung up. Unknowingly heard. The guy called back. Said meet me by the road. I didn't feel like fighting. I was reading all day. I looked out the window and saw the fighting begin, but from what I saw Justin was winning. When he came back, he said the guy hit him 1st. I was still unhappy with him. New International Version (NIV) Know that sometimes people have something to do with you because of something else than really shows. I was writing and thought of Richard B Russel road. There's also Richard B Russel park and Richard B Russel airport and Richard B Russel parkway. I thought of time in middle school when I told Richard B Russel’s stepdaughter I liked her. I used Andy to tell her. She made a face. It was 1985. I facebooked her sister to say I still think about that, though she later told me it was because I didn't tell her directly. At the time, I had NO idea who Richard B Russel was. We were just in the same clique. I wouldn't have remembered that if I hadn't thought of the road to email her sister. Sometimes people will do things that seem like the wrong thing to do to you. Look at Jonah 1:4-16Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish." 7 Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?" 9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God Almighty of heaven, who made the sea and the land." 10 This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) 11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?" 12 "Pick me up and throw me into the sea," he replied, "and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you." 13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. 14 Then they cried to the LORD, "O LORD, please do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased." 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. 16 At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him. [-] I was just looking up the Richard B Russel road when I for the first time in my life saw the park, airport, and parkway. Plus I saw a Richard B Russel library. They divorced and Danielle said Richard B Russel never responded to the birthday cards she sent when he was alive. I don't know if I want a facility named after me. In Emory hospital, a doctor said his surgery to me would make my limp and speech and vision all better. I KNEW that was impossible because you cannot erase bruises. I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, to get a second opinion. But kept getting, “I prayed about this. God Almighty said yes.” UGH!!! I said I did too. My point wasn't proven till the next doctor found it a quarter inch from where it belonged! Another surgery! It took another 1! When Jesus is giving you direction sometimes nothing you do will make it possible. Ezekiel 14:14 even if these three men—Noah, Daniel [a] and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD. [-] If the States let government keep growing out of hand, freedom will be gone. Big government will sound more and more compelling the more trouble the States’ liberty gets them in. Right now the States are so far from God Almighty that their liberty is digging their grave. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Community feel is gone. People who could shout out aren’t. 1. Ezekiel 14:14 Or Daniel ; the Hebrew spelling may suggest a person other than the prophet Daniel; also in verse 20. [-] What if Americans keep being quiet about the unGodly lifestyle that's running so rampant? Jeremiah 1:6 6 "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." [-] I just registered for Abundant Life ministries mission to Czechoslovakia. Though I still need funds. If you'd like to send the Gospel out, please pray for me to get it done, send donations to Abundant Life ministries 1550Belcher S road. It’s an anointed feeling and I can tell Jesus appreciates it. Please pray I get lots of funds and when I have more than I need, I’ll help others with their funds. I need a thousand dollars. Jesus is calling me. Would I rather be partying? NO! I want to be where Jesus wants me. I've felt the built in steering wheel since I got serious with God Almighty. Proverbs 16:9 9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. [-] I've never seen so many wonderful singers on American Idol as this year. I love all of the singers. You can tell they're aware of how good they are because of the quality of their competitors and that shows what their rank is. 1 bad thing about climbing the ladder is the world is so popular in the majority of that group. When you think you are about to lose your status, you hear the lion’s roar. That's when it gets scary and you become desperate to stay where you are. You want to do what it takes to not lose another step. It’s miserable and you work against yourself. Mark 4:35-forty-one Jesus Calms the Storm 35That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." 36Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" 41They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" [-] please pray for the realty blogs I reached for Mom’s business and the churches I sent my Bible Paper blog to. A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense. Proverbs 15:5 [-] The fact I cane out of a coma and rehab and lacked social development completely and 181 women have rejected me taught me something new. My body didn't adapt to it, but I saw my heart gain knowledge from it. That means the heart sees things the body does not see. Kimberly and I were eating in a lone Sunday school room every church family night supper. When I asked her out, she said no. That was the last day I ever saw her. I switched churches and the Pentecostal preacher there said he was praying for me! I'm not saying I switch churches after I'm rejected. I switch churches after I'm rejected and another preacher has been praying 4me. Luke 8:21-25 21He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God Almighty's word and put it into practice."
Jesus Calms the Storm 22One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. 23As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25"Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him." [-] The process goes at a different rate than you choose. The world wants you to be desperate for them and it'll flatter them if they can make you beg them for their companionship. What a joke. But if you are not blood-bought, it’s very, very easy to make the world and their antics your god. After all, they love the attention. I found that to be so true. I got up and started spreading the news about mom’s business West Star Mortgage. I hit many realtors and heard Lord God Almighty say I needed to get my Bible Paper blog Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse hundreds thousands words of sermons in MY BLOGS to many churches. It became clear people all over the world are already praying for God Almighty to bless anybody sharing it. Also, my very helping ministers IS GETTING BLESSED. As I reached other churches, the Spirit ca,me over me and gave me energy to reach other churches to reach other churches to reach other churches to reach other churches…. Spiritual fulfillment is most gratifying. What a coincidence. I just heard the word “duplicity” I remembered that's the movie Pam and I went to see not The Matrix! I made that mistake in an earlier Bible Paper. I was passing out my blog when I heard that word on TV. I still haven't gotten a no from Pam about our date yet. Besides, I found a great restaurant I'd rather take her to! who knows, maybe God Almighty is going to first get her in a church. For a year our talking was wonderful. I hate to be misunderstood and that's why I lost my temper with her new boyfriend’s stepdad. There was no romance in my hug. Wait, I'm from Georgia not Florida. I see the hug evidentially different. NO ROMANCE!!!!! It’s very simple. People are going to misunderstand what you are doing. I lost my temper with the stepdad in my yard, screaming stuff I realized he later saw. He’s been shot once, stabbed twice, and served 17 years in jail. When he looked in my eyes, he saw how upset I was. I was wrong and I should've handed it to Jesus! Luke 8:25 He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25"Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him." [-] I prayed for Jesus to give me peace. The stepdad and I started talking very civil and he agreed with some of the things I was cg. We apologized to each other and everything glossed over. The problem saw calmness because I invited Jesus and HE came to the scene. I was irresponsible and Jesus was merciful. Psalm 107:29 29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. [-] I reached a very amazing number of realtors for Mom’s business. Why not churches? Good question. I wanted, it seems to reach all of the realtors for her business. I do not know if a realtor I reached is also a preacher and will see my sermons blog and then give it to every single preacher worldwide. That'd be most favorable. After all, what use is it to heat water on the oven when you have a perfectly good microwave? I do not know why I didn’t reach the churches 1st. I hope there's a reason I do not see that's most favorable. It’ll be seen in my blog counter if so. Please pray very, very many preachers use my sermon blog. I feel guilty for getting the very, very best preaching available. But I therefore make it available to everybody. What good is it to live unsaved? Is that even possible? It sounds like an oxy moron. Live unsaved. I was brought up in the church and animosity ran me off sixteen years old. It’s very hard to be Overwhelmed and rational. If you are overwhelmed and irrational, you probably will not let Jesus calm the raging sea. Psalm 107:29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. [-] I do Zito 5 several times a day to read 4 full pages. I just did my last Zito 5 and saw I'm in 1 Chronicles. I was happy to be out of all of the names then I started listing names again. I'm excited to go on missions and spread the Gospel in Czechoslovakia, which will be possible after my funds are paid. Please pray Abundant Life ministries in c/o Michael House receives enough donations to send me on the mission. 1550 Belcher S Largo, Florida 33771. [-] What a great anointed feeling on the field! It’s Jesus’ way of showing you that you are where He wants you. In Ecuador, I helped with the children, shoveled gravel, set up preacher’s stage every time, was an example of Jesus to the people local, carried my banner high, and so on. It’s 55 degrees and my dog will not go outside! 55 was warm to my Georgia dog!! Culture change means condition change means circumstance. He’ll go out when a very compelling food is thrown out. The flesh knows if it can make a sin look good enough for you, it'll have less trouble making you feed it with it. Especially if you are not blood-bought! Praising the Lord is a wonderful gift. Dad couldn't get off drugs. I told him to go to jail. Get put in it. That’ll dry him out. His friends always around with drugs made quitting impossible for him. Praising the Lord is the same way if sin is in your life. Drugs were in Dad and wouldn't be let him make the decision to get dry. My brother running from the police also had the same problem. He didn't want to submit to be able to keep drugs in him. The more sinless you are, the easier it is to praise Jesus. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Do everything in love. [-] Love is the most powerful thing you have. Love is the influential point you contain. Love is the commanding idea you encompass. Love is the authoritative issue you include. Love is the controlling factor you boast. Love is the prevailing feature you comprise. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! CHRISTIANITY! LOVE! CHRISTIANITY! LOVE! CHRISTIANITY! LOVE! CHRISTIANITY! you are freed if you are full of love. You have liberty if love fills your life. Galatians 5 Freedom in Christ 1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. 7You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? 8That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9"A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. 11Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! 13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. Life by the Spirit 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God Almighty. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. [-] The flesh will be trying to always pull you down. You have to go against the grain to be a Christian. It is life when bad stuff is happening and it is human nature to take a shortcut out of it. Unwise. The best thing to do if you are in trouble is remain always true to Jesus. I was just taking the trash out and in the back of my head, I heard my prayer request. For the Lord to help Mom’s new business. Then it hit me why I woke and started first with her business. Because it’s new and all the loans to close, the better. Plop. I'm in my balcony seat. Feeling the Spirit. After being asked if I think the churches wanted my blog. Wording- did they want it? Then getting told they're focusing on the task when I asked for a pen told me I'm not welcome. Then again. The Spirit just changed my mind. My body is sleepy from the weight lifting. I craved weight lifting even the year of my traumatic brain injury and was lifting in the gym and a therapist had a “heart attack.” I was curling and my elbow muscles had grown over my elbow. Postured 4 months. Pastor Anthony is messing with the electrical aspect. I feel like I should help. I grew up around wiring. But there’re 3 men doing it. Phyllis and Cathy are talking. I'm sweating. I just set out 7 then 8 stacks chairs and earlier I was lifting weights. I see the middle chairs getting moved for some unknown reason. I told Cathy about a G and R song I used to pick my guitar picking days in middle school. My guitar was given to me Christmas broken, so I had little zeal. The frequency module was loose. I was supposed to learn how to play on it first then get a good 1, lol. There's a very long ladder they're doing electrical work with. We’re shouting and spinning and singing and dancing in the Spirit. God Almighty is my Portion, my Deliverer. God Almighty stepped down into darkness. Beauty that makes this heart adore Thee. Here I am to worship. Here I am to adore Thee. God Almighty came to the earth He created. I catch a glimpse of Tina’s long hair and it stands out, so I note it. That's wild. You’ll see why what makes the fact I did that so wild in a minute. I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross. The screen isn't showing words. That's what's caused difficulty. I surprise myself how much I don't need it singing. When I hear a voice say they're rebooting the computer to try it, I think of Ecuador. The power of what I witnessed there is still at work on me. I have trouble accepting poverty. Hmmmm, my endorphins are flowing from the chair unloading. Better than drugs and it’s good for you! Intense. Enjoyment. Strong. Powerful. Happiness. Delight. Joy. Forceful. Bliss. Concentrated. Contentment. Deep. Satisfaction. Passionate. Gratification. Extreme. Amusement. Severe. Recreation. INCOMPARABLE! I see a new head from the balcony. I've seen several, so I do not know why I noted that. Today I passed out my blog to twenty-six random churches and I'm feeling blessed by it. Everybody should do that and the experience is very, very worthwhile. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse hundreds thousands words of sermons in MY BLOGS. I pray for my services I copied in 1995 plus to be found with joy. I'm also tired from proofreading all day. When my eyes get tired proofreading, I share my blog and proofread after my eyes get tired doing that. That's why I yawn all day. Please pray for mission funds for me to come in. I see Ladonna come down the stairs nineteen:08. From 101 room. I had my first class there. Sound booth is having technical difficulties with the projector. That goes to show why people are stressed.
Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.
1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
We’re praying together. Never before have I been so free. God Almighty’s presence overwhelms me. Because of God Almighty I can say I am free indeed. God Almighty’s presence overwhelms me. I am a friend of God Almighty’s. I will trust God Almighty with all my strength. Jesus Christ has delivered me. I will not be moved. I will sing of the Lord with all my strength. God Almighty has delivered me. God Almighty is my Strong Tower. Who do I have but God Almighty? The Savior is my Shield. The Savior is my Buckler. The Savior is my Strong Tower. God Almighty makes me glad. Who do I have in heaven but God Almighty? Do we feel God Almighty? God Almighty has made everything we need. There's no one I desire but God Almighty. light of the world You stepped down into darkness. God Almighty is so wonderful to me. God Almighty is altogether wonderful. Altogether holy. God Almighty is altogether worthy. We acknowledge God Almighty’s Supreme Omnipotence. We acknowledge God Almighty ‘s Highest Power.
Romans 1:20 (New International Version)
20For since the creation of the world God Almighty's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Psalm 37
Of David.
1 [a] Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Anxiety doesn’t help. Do not fret. Let go. Release. Liberate. Free. Set free. Allow to go. Unleash. Rock and the Rabbi is coming to Abundant Life ministries. http://www.onlineseats.com/theatre/the-rock-and-the-rabbi-tickets/index.asp It’s a must see group. Not enough can be said about their power. They've been on Broadway. Buy 4 tickets for your family and 4 tickets for your friends. Bible Study. The planting of the tree. 10 parts of the Covenant. The walk of death is the infinity sign. Exchange of names. Exchange of belts. Exchange of enemies. After we learn them, we see them everywhere in the Bible. Today we’re learning how the planting of a tree always reminded them of their Covenant with God Almighty. Sentimental. Like crying over a plate, remembering a grandmother. I remember when my cousin broke Granny’s best friend’s gift and Granny cried over it. And how Granny cried over her dog’s death and mine of mine. When you understand the Covenants, you understand God Almighty better. In Genesis you are kicked out of the Garden and in Revelations, you are welcomed to it. First 3 chapters and last 3 chapters. The palm tree is the tree of victory. They'd do things to prevent either party from forgetting THE COVENANT. THE COVENANT was always a very, very big deal. Pastor Anthony’s aunt and uncle gave trees as a gift when he was young and now that he sees them he sees great, great worth in them. Completely the opposite when they were given. Now they're huge reminders. Very tall. 20' even. If you compromise sin, you are saying you know better than God Almighty. look at the controversial issue of gay people in the pulpit. There'll be stuff you do not understand till you are in heaven.
Genesis 3:21-22 (New International Version)
21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
When you go to the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, you become your own god. You live a life of do’s and don’t’s. It’s a very unpleasant life. live the tree of life. God Almighty is gracious. His mercies are new every day. Every morning. Do not be legalistic. I think of the dress code in my elementary Christian school and I shoot that idea dwn. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. We need God Almighty’s grace and mercy. Tree of knowledge of good and evil is miserable.
Revelation 2:8-9
To the Church in Smyrna
8"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. 9I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:14
14Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality.
Revelation 2:17
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
Genesis says get out of the Garden Revelation says come to the Garden. At the table, we talk about the tree planting Covenant. We talk about the fig tree. Jesus told it to burn not bearing fruit. What a coincidence! I just told the napkin dispenser to burn. It didn't have any napkins. Nor did it burn. It’d been cool if it had. We talk about Zaccheus in the Sycamore. We talk about having to get in the Bible yourself to truly know it. That having to have somebody interpret it for you does you no good. I tell about my Georgia church. The women have to have long hair and wear dresses. They agree that's depending on laws and not Jesus. Some people are talking about Abundant Life ministries and how in their previous church they had to leave it before they got to know God Almighty. Everybody agrees Jesus loves outward praise and that's evident by the Lord’s indisputable presence at Abundant Life ministries!

Bp177
The Saints won because for the 3 hours they were the better team. Preparation and strategy paid off for them. I watched the game on the movie screen at church. I saw how strategy paid off. Maybe it’s because the Colts were over confident. That opened my eyes to my walk with Jesus. My favorite game is where my team loses 3 quarters and for the fourth quarter scores the last second game winning point. It’s like the world belittling you for 3 quarters then they see all of their troubles come down on them and it’s too many for the fourth quarter to be favorable at all. People belittling you are really showing you their nature, giving. You reason to avoid them. Always represent Jesus. A coward dies a thousand deaths a wise man but one. Repeat. People belittling you are trying to bring you to their level. As long as your marketing materials and messages get results, continue with them. You are apt to tire of a message before people and prospects find them stale. Winning people to church is a skill you can develop. People have different talents & the people who are most proficient about soul winning should teach a smallgroup or general class their tactics. Nathan, my class, WBHS class o 93, preaches at a church & has a constant contest for the most soul winning. You get your name on the wall in the back of the church. Be persistent. It is tempting to stop or cut back marketing efforts when business activity slows. Don't get caught in this trap. You need to keep the new business pipeline filled at all times. To do this, it is important to maintain marketing efforts, even in sluggish conditions. I miss community of the apartments, but I enjoy not living in a home right by another home. There’re good sides & bad sides to everything. I’ve met no women in my new home. That’s good & bad. I have a lot more time to write. That’s rewarding & you’d appreciate it a lot more if you didn’t have it. Like I said, Abundant Life’s sign is why I go to church there. I just looked at it after I felt my head turn to it like a Hand was turning it there. I was going to Abundant Life when Jesus answered my prayer to get me ungirl crazy. # 181 rejected me as I went to Abundant Life & that seemed to be all I needed. Maybe that’s why I stayed at Abundant Life. A much needed prayer was answered there. I even went to the doctor because the effect was so scary. But it gave me a perspective change. People will go to church if they receive from it something desirable. Stress benefits over features. Your promotional materials should emphasize how your service will enhance the client's business, rather than explain what the service actually does. Have a prayer walk with door hangers on doors & handed out to pedestrians & people at the red light. Fall Festival is a great attraction to break the ice to get people to church for the first time in their life. Then they’ll more likely visit church, get seeds planted, become members, bring friends & family. Who bring friends & family. Who bring friends & family. Who bring friends & family. who bring friends & family.
