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.

13 October 2016, and this could be the Day that we believers are called out and up to be with The Lord Jesus Christ. You have been told how to be saved. You have had the opportunity to hear the good news, to repent, to believe, to receive the gift of eternal life,  so what have you done with this opportunity?

Those of you  from; Australia, Belarus, Bermuda, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Latvia, Malaysia, Netherlands,  Panama, Philippians, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Turks & Caicos Islands,Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam are without excuse.

I've encouraged you to read your Bible every day to know God. The plan and outline to read the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs referred to as The One Year Bible is linked to this blog. Please consider reading through the entire Bible each year.

Today in Jeremiah 30:1-31:26 God shows Himself to against sin and for the believers. God makes all Truths available to those who seek Him early each day while he may be found. The Bible describes God's attributes, promises and requirements for obedience. Learn to "trust and obey"  for there is no other way to be right with God.

1st Timothy 2:15 teaches that all men should pray for those in authority. You must learn what perquisites God has for those who pray. The LORD will respond to the prayers of His children that are in fellowship with Him, because they have confessed their sins (1st John 1:9), have a broken heart and contrite spirit, and are coming to The Father in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 87 reminds us that God knows His children and their names are in the Lambs Book of Life.

Proverbs 25:18-19 describes the false and unfaithful man and warns believers to not have confidence in them, but trust God.

Read your Bible to know God.

1 October 2016. Hope you have been reading your Bible to know God.  Are you sure that right now you are free from condemnation as noted in Romans 8? Are you sure that you are in God's hand and you will never be separated from Him? How are you demonstrating Ephesians 2:8-10, particularly that you are God's workmanship? How are you acting out your ministry of reconciliation as per II Corinthians 5:17-21? When did you last prepare  to meet with The Lord God Almighty? Have you a broken heart and a contrite spirit? How is Psalm 1:1-6 true in your life?

If you were sure that you would die in your sleep tonight, what would you do now? If this were so then how would you respond to God's question of "Why should I let you enter into heaven today?"

28 September 2016, Wednesday. It has been a long time since my last entry and I am sorry to have not paid more attention to this business. I have hoped and prayed that you would read your Bible every day to know God. If you are following the 365 Day reading plan then we have been in touch as we have been reading to know God. The reading plan is on file at the blog and I strongly suggest you consider reading each day some Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.

While reading Isaiah I have tried to restate the names of The LORD, GOD, JAH, Lord, God so that they are representative of the position and function in the Trinity. For me I find by doing this I sense so more clearly who is speaking and what they have been doing  for Israel and strangers. Look at Isaiah 54:5-6 "For thy Maker is thy husband; the LORD (Jehovah)of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God (Elohim) of the whole earth shall be called.  For the LORD (Jehovah) hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God (Elohim).

                                                             READ TO KNOW HIM

Please read again, Exodus 6:1-8 and consider His name. Then compare His thoughts as they are written in Psalm 138:2 as to what you know about God because you read to know Him. Please consider these compound names, some that I've copied from The Names of God by Nathan Stone and The names of Jesus by Elmer Towns. I have added some other descriptors for joy. Please continue to read to know Jehovah, Elohim and Adonai. There are numerous (600+) other names in the Bible that we might know Him. Read to know Him by His attributes.


The Names and Titles we use when referring to the Deity in English have the same letters in the spelling, they sound alike, however they are referring to different persons. Let us carefully consider to whom we are speaking and address them with the Names they have chosen.

From the book The Names of God, at page 43 "The Names of God we have studied so far have been Elohim, translated "God" in our Bibles; Jehovah, translated "LORD" and "El-Shaddai," translated "God Almighty" or "Almighty God."  These names are related to the Person of God--the power and glory of His Being, as in Elohim (plural); the expression of Himself as a God of righteousness, holiness, love and redemption, as in Jehovah (singular); as a beneficent and bountiful Bestower of powers, gifts, blessings, and fruitfulness for service, as seen in El-Shaddai. "

God,  Lord as Elohim (plural) of infinite power and absolute faithfulness.  We may know them as The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Beware to what is written at Matthew 12:30-37. Verse 31 "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

Lord as Adonai-Jesus--God Man - Master/Owner = Lord God-Lord GOD. The Lord (Elohim) (title) Jesus (name) Christ (Messiah) (The Anointed One) (office); Saviour; Prophet, Priest and King.                        

El Elohim Jehovah- The LORD God of gods; Jehovah Elohim - The LORD God;  Jehovah El Elyon - The LORD-The Most High God; Jehovah Elohim Tseba'oth - The LORD God of Hosts

Elhoim Bashamayim-God in Heaven; El(singular) Bethel-The God of the House of God; Elohe Chaseddiy-God of my mercy; El Elohe Yisra'e-God, The God of Israel; El-Elyon as God over us-The Most High God;  El-Roi as God who sees us;  El-Shaddai as God my source, ever-existing, eternal, ever becoming One, continually revealing Himself God Almighty;  El-Olam as God of my today

LORD,  GOD,  Jehovah as I AM, eternal, self-existent One, the God of revelation, the God of moral and spiritual attributes--of righteousness, holiness, love, and therefore redemption, the God who stands in special covenant relation to Israel in contrast to Elohim, the general name of God in relation to all nations.

Jehovah-Jireh as my provider/deliverance--God will provide; Jehovah-Rophe/Rapha as my healer; Jehova-Nissi , my banner as my victory; Jehovah-M'Kaddesh as my sanctifier--holy--separated--spotless;  Jehovah-Shalom as my peace--atonement-peace with God;   Jehovah-Sabaoth as my deliverer;  Jehovah-Rohi  as my shepherd--feeds-leads-pastures; Jehovah-Tsidkenu as my righteousness--righteous Branch--the Holy One;  Jehovah-Kanna The LORD Whose name is Jealous; Jehovah-Shammah as my hope--He is there, in the midst; "For ye are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people", II Cor 6:16b.

Tuesday, 30 August 2016, and this could be the DAY!  Every person has the opportunity to be saved, redeemed and taken out from under the wrath of Almighty God, before they die. But if a person will not confess Jesus Christ as Lord, and they die in their sin of UNBELIEF, they will be forever away from God and spend eternity with Satan in the lake of fire. Hebrews 9:27, John 3:36, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 1:1-17 & 18-32, 3:22-23, 5:8, 6:23, 8:1-2, 10:4-13 & 12:1-2. If a person sees, hears and believes these scriptures and trust what thus saith The LORD, they can be saved.

Read your Bible to know God. This week you may have seen 1st Corinthian16:22 and not understand that verse.  Read it again and know that God knows if you have received His gift of eternal life or that you have not. If a man loves not the Lord Jesus Christ---let him be accursed! YEA, Maranatha, Jesus is coming!  Ready or not, He is coming in the clouds for all believers, 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.  Read your Bible to know the past, present and future. To fear God is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of The Holy is understanding.

Read Proverbs 3:1-12 and believe and heed verses5-7.
