29 Oct 2012 Monday-Wow 35 years ago I was dress as a player in the haunted house of a small GA. school Halloween activity not considering my eternal future, but God intervened! Oh how I wanted to scare those little kids. That night was the last night of my old life!!

Sunday morning, 30 Oct 1977, I made a public confession of being saved, accepted by God because Jesus died for me and rose again, and I believed HIM and received Him as my personal saviour because I had heard His Word and The Holy Spirit drew me by love to receive His mercy and pardon and by grace I was put into the family of God, His hand, in His book of life,and I have been secure in this faith for 35 years!!

 I challenge you to write out your testimony. If you do not know (for sure) that you have been "born again", please let me share the Word of God with you, He is not willing that ANY should die in their sin(unbelief)but come in repentance by faith to God The Father by Jesus Christ His SON believing that He will forgive, save, redeem and change you to be acceptable just as if you had never sinned. Hear, believe, receive and live for eternity with God.

Hope you have enjoyed reading Jeremiah. As you begin Lamentation you will see that Jeremiah was making warnings and prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem, now you will be reading it from a historical prospective, it has been destroyed.Be warned, judgment is sure, God knows everything and sees every sin, yet He allows people time/space to repent. Look for His attributes. Fear God.

God's letter to His people as penned by Paul provide insight to the mind and will of God for all men. Take time to read to know God. Practice praying back to The LORD your Lord His Psalms. Seek wisdom through The Holy Spirit as you read to apply the proverbs in your daily conversation.

Be encouraged by the Truth and encourage someone with the Truth. If you are saved, you are an ambassador for God and a minister of reconciliation and that is your responsibility. Remember to be right then do right and don't quit.  luvpj

Pray for the 365 class that will begin 1 Jan 2013.

9 Oct 2012 Tuesday-what a wonderful day to be Saved, on your way to heaven, forgiven, a child of The King of Glory, washed in the blood of The Lord Jesus Christ and then to know Truth because you have read to know Him! Praise Him!!!

Do you weep as you read Jeremiah? Do you see any similarities to Israel, Judah and the USA? Do you become fearful for those who you know that are not saved? Does not Psalm 79 cause you to pray differently?

We are not helpless nor hopeless, but the unsaved, the heathen, the unbelievers and those who have heard and rejected GOD are doomed. Do you want your neighbor to receive justice for their reproach of God seven times? Verse 9 "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake."

As you read Proverbs 24:30-34 how do you see yourself and your family? One aspect of God's attitude toward people is that we be hot or cold in responding to Him. But he also said he would spit out those were lukewarm from his mouth. What are you hot for? Does The LORD our Lord see us as slothful? What is dear to you?

O that man would fear God. O that we would read to know God. Obey or be destroyed. I hope your attitude and concept of God are being refined according to Scriptures. Read, read again, Selah, meditate and hide the Word of God in your heart. Obey what you understand. Get right, be right, do right and don't quit. God will not do any more for you nor any less than what is written. luvpj

6 Oct 2012 Sunday is coming!Hope you get comfort by daily reading your Bible to know God. It is amazing how reading causes me to consider The LORD as a merciful and kind God yet firm, unchanging,setting rules and commandments for his children to hear, heed and obey.We cannot claim to be ignorant. Look at John 3:12, then look at your circumstances today and then see if you see HIM. If not or you can't see HIM, immediately seek forgiveness, clean your glasses ans open your eyes. He wants you to know him.

Pay attention to how God instructs Jeremiah to tell his Jewish family how to be and do. Be warned that God will not be mocked by The Jews, The Christians or unbelievers.Read Jer 6:15-21 and check your fear factor of God. Compare your daily conversation to chap7 and then check your attitude to see if you are acting respectful with The Lord your saviour. Are you considered by God to be backslidden? If not, why not?

You may be justified to blame another person for your ignorance but have you let a man spoil you with philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ? Read what God told Paul to tell the people of Colosse and make the application to yourself now.

The Lord GOD calls out to all men, hear me. Hear his voice in his word and obey. Hope to see you in church Sunday. Maranatha. Pray for our troops, lost and dying people and the people of God to be right, do right and that we don't quit till it is over. luvpj

3 Oct 2012 Wednesday, Congrats on reading to know God. I am grateful that I got my One Year(365) Bible today in 1996 and started this wonderful experience of reading to know God.  I know that I do not have to read to please God because he loves me unconditionally. I'm thankful that I can see, read, hear, handle, hold, smell, touch the Word of God and share it with my wife daily and we get to pray in thanksgiving as we praise him for who he is and what he has done to, for and in us. I am content. I wish every husband would enjoy the experience of sharing regularly/daily the gift of reading through the Bible out loud and praying with his wife before the required daily necessities.Start with a hug.

I hope your experience through the Book of Isaiah was thrilling, informative and uplifting to your soul both spiritually and mentally.The Bible in miniature, 66 books/chapters, 39 OT/27 NT, linking the beginning in Genesis to the end as described in The Revelation of Jesus Christ. How many ways did The LORD identify himself to the children of Jacob-Israel?  How many attributes did you discover? How has your concept of God been refined? The promises given and the warnings specified are for these people specifically, yet they are for our examples to learn to fear God and to keep his commandments. One Day!!

Hopefully you were reminded of John 3:12 as you read Jeremiah 1:11. Please pay attention to your circumstances. Consider the Proverbs as a guide for your daily conduct and pray back the Psalms. As The Lord was building his church(s) and giving advice to it's members through Paul to those in Philippi and Ephesus we must observe their reception and responses to The Lord's direction. We are the handiwork of today and the only agency that The LORD has chosen to represent him in these last days-MARANATHA Anathema. Keep on reading to know him. Pray for the work,luvpj

Let us determine to read from now till the trumpet sounds-then we will see Him, Amen.
