28 November 2016, Thanksgiving Day is a great memory of fine fellowship, good food, several choices of deserts, plenty of tea and coffee and comfortable couches to rest in as we reflect on the gifts of God, enjoy His presence and look forward to His soon return, AMEN. Hope you were able to have food, shelter and clothes to wear this week. All of us take too much presumptuously. If we know that we are redeemed and bound for Heaven, what more do we need? Take time to be thankful.

As you read your Bible to know God focus on HIM and not His. We have read the Old Testament prophets accounts of how the Jews heard God's Word of warning, but did not heed nor obey. What did you learn about The LORD? Did you see His attributes of Omnipotence and Omniscience? Did you detect the "promises" given to the people if they would obey? What did you learn that impacted your life? Read to know God.

We have read the letters God had James and Peter pen for the Jews that professed to know The LORD as Lord and Saviour, yet were trying to bring the old traditions of Jewish laws into their faith "mixture" by co-mingling works of man with the finished work of The Lord Jesus Christ. We work because we are saved, NOT TO BE or GET saved. We do not add to God's grace. Read the Bible to know God.

Reading Psalm 119 gives us insight and warnings. Reading and heeding the admonitions from the Proverbs will alert us to danger and guide us to delight. Read to know God. I strongly suggest you take time to fear God with reverence and humble yourself in prayer, admit and confess your sin and sins, claim the promise of 1st John1:9. Believe Isaiah 1:15,16,17,18 and 19. Note verse 20.

Get your heart right before GOD, seek His forgiveness, believe His promises, seek to have fellowship with Almighty God so that you might have fellowship with your Christian brothers and sisters. Fellowship in holiness. Read your Bible to know God. Hide His Word in your heart that you do not sin against HIM. Read again John 3:1-36, James 4:17 and act out II Corinthians 5:17-21. God bless you as you seek to know Him, be diligent, prudent and Christ like. Sincerely in love for the lost for Christ's sake. Maranatha

18 November 2016. How has your reading of your Bible to know God improved your attitude and hope? Those that are reading through the Bible in a year following the daily reading plan of Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs ought to be excited about how God uses prophets to warn people about sin, judgment and things to come. The plan to read daily through the Bible is given in the blog.

The New Testament is strong in the advice and counsel to the believing Jews who have trusted Jesus as Saviour to not co mingle their "old" ways with those of the Truth. Faith comes by hearing the WORD of God. Heeding what you have heard, read, seen and sensed is evidence of your faith and belief that God is so and His ways are to ONLY way for peace therefore you are both hearers and doers. Trust and obey.

Every person needs to be hear the gospel once. Every person is and has been exposed to God by and through the handiwork by His creation. All men have a conscience. All men can sense right from wrong. There is none holy. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. As God did for the dry bones in Ezekiel 37 He will do for those who will seek him diligently and early.

Repent. Turn from yourself and turn to God. Admit that you have sinned. ADMIT THAT YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF MAKING YOURSELF HOLY. Call unto to God and ask for mercy, forgiveness of SIN and ask for the gift of eternal life. Hear and believe, receive and be thankful. Call upon the name of Jesus, asking the Father to put your sins to His account and His righteousness to your account. Believe the Truth, you must be born again. Read John 3:1-36.

Read Palm 1 and apply God's counsel as to whom you walk, talk and sit with. Be blessed and read, believe and act out the WORD. There is no prosperity without God. With God all things are possible.
Read your Bible to know God.

2  November 2016 is the day that God made, let us enjoy this blessing and praise our LORD for His gifts, mercy and grace. Hope you have been reading your Bible to know God. As we read through the Bible we are exposed to the names, traits, attributes,  promises, provisions and warnings given by our loving heavenly Father. Reading the Old Testament is sufficient warnings for how we ought to be and do today.

Hope you enjoyed reading the account of God's dealing with the Jews as recorded by Jeremiah. The Book of Lamentations gives us insight to the burden God has for His creation. What did you learn about The Lord God?

The record of God's thoughts about Jesus as recorded in Hebrews provides us knowledge about the past, present and the future for those that believe. Last Monday, 31 October, we were challenged at verse 2:3 "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation: which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard HIM;" WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE  TRUTH GIVEN TO YOU?

The Psalms reminds us that God is faithful, true and seeking those who will HEAR and HEED. The Proverbs show evidences of unbelief and the affect lack of faith has on the individual and even his friends and family.

Sunday 30 October, we celebrated our 39th anniversary of being born again, adopted into the family of GOD, forgiven of ALL sins (past, present and future), made to be sons of God, priests, ministers of reconciliation, ambassadors for Christ, light, salt, accepted in the Beloved and soon to be raptured out to be with God forever, according to the scriptures.

What is your future? Are you saved? Have you admitted that you have sinned and offended GOD? Have you neglected His salvation?  REPENT. Turn from yourself, turn to God, hear His offer of forgiveness, believe the scriptures, call on His Name and believe that God raised Jesus from the dead as recorded at Romans 10. Hear and Heed God's Word. Read Ephesians 2:8-10.  Be a whosoever today. God loves you just as you are, so come to Him as a little child and by faith trust Him.
