The testimony of Johnny Cash -- Anonymous, 15:55:02 10/01/03 Wed

The testimony of Johnny Cash

Share with a friend! | printable version | pdf format

As a veteran of many Billy Graham crusades, Johnny Cash must have known the parable of the drunken airline passenger by heart.

Here's how Graham told this old, old story during his1985 South Florida crusade.

One day, the evangelist boarded an airplane at the same time as a fat, boisterous drunk who cursed up a storm and even pinched a stewardess. The crew finally wrestled the man to his seat -- right in front of Graham. Another passenger leaned over and said he ought to behave. Didn't he know who was behind him?

"You don't say," the man said. Then he turned and loudly said, "Are you Billy Graham? ... Put her there! Your sermons have sure helped me!"

After the laughter, Graham warmly introduced Cash, who added another punch line.

"I wonder," said Cash, "why he thought about introducing me right after he talked about the rowdy drunk on the airplane."

Yes, Cash knew his role as a missionary to the backsliders.

The man in black was a country kid who embraced his mother's faith, then flung it away, the hell raiser who got saved, and saved and then saved some more. Cash sang about the hope of heaven and the siren songs of hell. Time magazine put it this way: "Here was a man who knew the Commandments because he had broken so many of them."

The gritty details filled 1,500 songs and a lifetime of work in television, movies, books and nights on the road. For years, Cash prowled the stage on amphetamines and wept as he sang "The Old Rugged Cross" -- often in the same show.

Things got better after he married June Carter in 1968, a meeting of souls made in heaven, but worked out in the flesh under the parental gaze of Ezra and Maybelle Carter. These country-music pioneers not only prayed at Cash's bedside while he kicked drugs, but hung on through years of front-porch Bible study as he walked the line toward redemption.

Cash was in a spiritual war and he knew it. Thus, he constantly quoted Romans 8:13 as his favorite verse: "For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live...."

The superstar also knew that millions of people were watching and waiting for him to fall. He lived in that hot spotlight until the day he died.

"I have been a professional entertainer," said Cash, at a 1989 Graham crusade in his home state of Arkansas. "My personal life and problems have been widely publicized. There have been things said about me that made people ask, 'Is Johnny Cash really a Christian?'

"Well, I take great comfort in the words of the apostle Paul who said, 'What I will to do, that I do not practice. But what I hate, that I do.' And he said, 'It is no longer I who do it, but the sin that dwells within me. But who,' he asks, 'will deliver me from this body of death?' And he answers for himself and for me, 'Through Jesus Christ the Lord.' "

This language he used in his Graham crusade testimonies was loftier than his style on stage. But the words hit home because Cash knew that his listeners knew he was there flaws and all. So he talked about his struggles with drugs -- past, present and future. He talked about the flaws in his family life. Cash named his idols and his demons and urged others to do the same.

The man in black was on the same Gospel road throughout his life, even when he detoured into the gutter, said Steve Beard, author of the Cash profile in the book "Spiritual Journeys: How Faith Has Influenced 12 Musical Icons."

"This was the real Johnny Cash. ? I mean, he was trying to do gospel albums, even during the bad times," said Beard. "He told people that the worst thing the drugs did to him was dull his soul and his senses to where he couldn't hear God and experience God the way he could when he was young.

"That's what he really wanted. That's what he kept searching for."

The Bible and the Holy Spirit -- Anonymous, 13:37:05 08/10/03 Sun

The Bible and the Holy Spirit (I)
Jesus said, “Suppose a king is about to go to war. Will he first not sit down and consider whether he is able to oppose the one coming against him?” (Luke 14:31)

Believers should know whether they are able to oppose the devil. Do they have what it takes to “fight the good fight of faith” and outmatch the forces of godlessness? Many Christians simply do not know. They hope and pray, but as no surging conviction of divine power grips them, they have an uncomfortable feeling that something about their lives is the problem. In this ministry letter I want to bring you some encouraging assurance. We are not without our spiritual “munitions”.
In Ephesians 1:18-19: Paul said that he prayed that “the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know … his incomparably great power for us who believe”. That is the situation regarding power in the New Testament; not possessing a personal supply, but KNOWING IN THE HEART the power of God “towards us”. We do not draw on what we have but on what God has. Let me show you what I mean.

Three wonderful facts

1. No one who has been born again is without the Holy Spirit. A Christian believer is “born of the Spirit” and exists by the daily and ceaseless operation of that same Spirit. God wants us to live like his children, and he ensures it by the Holy Spirit. He never abandons his children like orphans, without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit himself is the mark of a Christian: “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ” (Romans 8:9).

2. The Holy Spirit is not an extra for extra-good Christians. Jesus used the word “expedient” about His departure, that is, indispensable for our common need, so that the Holy Spirit could be sent into the world (John 16:7). This fulfilled the tremendous act of Christ’s Ascension. Holy Spirit power is a luxury in some people’s way of thinking, like caviar and pheasant for the highly privileged. Jesus did not speak in such terms. The Holy Spirit is for ordinary people, even children, and Jesus compared the Spirit to such ordinary things as bread, fish and eggs (Luke 11:11-12) On the first day of the Gospel, Peter proclaimed the same common blessing for all people: “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off – for all whom the Lord our God will call” (Acts 2:39).

3. It is with the Holy Spirit that God could plan for His work to be done. Salvation and everything else became possible, but only with the Holy Spirit. He is the primary factor behind all Christian service. God’s work could no more be done without the Holy Spirit than an artist could create a masterpiece without paint or a sculptor could carve a statue without stone. God has no “Plan B” without the Holy Spirit to accommodate people who want to work on their own. No Holy Spirit, no work.

This is where we must get our viewpoint right. We should not look on the Holy Spirit as an extra, better to have than not have, for Christianity is pointless without him. The Holy Spirit helps us but only as we help him. The work is his. Some see the Holy Spirit only as the Comforter. He is indeed the Comforter, but not solely to make us comfortable on life’s journey. Indeed, there would be no journey without him – without his power we could not even get out of the station. I know some do not consider themselves important enough for the Holy Spirit. That is not for anyone to say. We all need the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit makes us important.

Can we as humans have the same anointing as Jesus? -- Anonymous, 15:48:37 09/02/02 Mon

I am saddened by the mean responses expressed to Dr. Steib. First of all, that is not the way true God fearing Christians react. "All things are possible through Jesus Christ who gives us strength". My God is a God of patience, tolerance and above all Agape. We must follow his teachings and his mannerisms in order to be deemed his true followers.

I am not associated with Dr. Bridget Steib other that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Love first and foremost.

Sincerely... A Child of God

You don't have any idea what being Christian is all about if you claim that these reposnses are mean. Was it mean when The Apostle Paul told the Jews who believed that castration was required to get into heaven to go ahead and castrate themselves. What about when Jesus screamed "This is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of theives!" as he smashed the gambling tables and ran off the pigeon sellers? When does the Bile teaches toleration for teaching opposing the Bile? It doesn't! You are one of those sad "Christians" who rainwash the church into accepting wicked teachings for the sake of tolerance and if they raise a voice, they are not "Christian". You are the one not Christian using money and false teachings to pretend to exalt of the ways and teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

For centuries, the church of Jesus Christ has been robbed of a wealth of truth and understanding because of a sad choice made by the translators of the English Bible. Rather than translating the Greek word Christos, meaning "the Anointed One and His anointing," they chose to transliterate it. Thus, "Christ" has become a title for Jesus, the Son of God, and generations of Christians have missed out on understanding what Paul describes as, in Ephesians 3:8, the "unsearchable riches of Christ." To understand the anointing doesn't mean that you are Jesus himself but it does mean that you understand it as one of the benefits of the cross being a son of God and if Christ is in you and you are in him who can separate the benefit of the anointing from the sons of God? It is truly one of the great treasures that the devil has managed to hide from the believers today because when a child of God understands what the anointing is about, the devil shakes with fear. Jesus is the anointing and if Jesus is in me and I am in Jesus then the anointing is in me also. Child of God, don't let this great truth be hid from your spiritual life.

The Real Identity of Jesus -- Anonymous, 12:07:49 07/12/03 Sat


Jesus said, “Come and eat.” (John 21:12)

It is a well-known fact that Luke’s Gospel is full of references to bread, food, meals and eating. I counted 48 passages on this subject. The most notable of them all is where Luke relates the feeding of the five thousand (Luke 9:10-17). That incident is recounted in all four Gospels so it obviously has some very important things to tell us.

Jesus himself referred back to the miracle of how five loaves and two fish were enough to feed five thousand people. In Matthew 16:9 he expressed surprise that the disciples did not seem to have understood the full weight of what had happened that day. They only knew what they had seen with their eyes. The purpose of the eternal will of God was behind it, but nothing like that had struck them. Did they think God just happened to feel like putting on a demonstration at that time? Well, whatever we might think, God is just not like that.

When I looked at the familiar story again, I noticed something quite unusual. Luke places this story between two similar verses: “Herod said, ‘Who, then, is this I hear such things about?’” (Luke 9:9); “Jesus asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’” (Luke 9:18). Now, what do those verses have to do with feeding five thousand people? Read on and you will see!

The “crowds” Jesus asked about were those he had fed, not the general public. What did those people think of him? What had they made of the man who had displayed such omnipotence? In Jesus’ mind the miracle should at least have sparked some curiosity about who he was. In fact, it should have revealed his identity. This is God’s way of testing men and women. Do they see? He does not walk about wearing a designer label for all to see. His works proclaim his presence and everything about him. If we fail to see it, then on our head be it. Appropriately Jesus once said, “Believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves” (John 14:11).

However, there was even more to it than that. Just think of that famous statement of Jesus in John 14:10: “I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. It is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” If food for five thousand meant anything, Jesus was saying that the Father was involved every bit as much as he was himself. By his miracles Jesus gave glory to the Father and revealed the Father’s heart. Feeding five thousand? Yes, God is like that.

Jesus is the image of God. Look at Jesus, his works, his kindness and his self-sacrifice and you will see God’s face. Jesus is like God the Father and God the Father is like Jesus the Son. Jesus is God-like and God is Jesus-like. “Like father like son,” we say. How perfectly that fits Jesus and his Father! Jesus said, “The Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does” (John 5:19).

Why did Jesus feed the multitudes? Did he really have to bother? Well, yes, he did, because that is the sort of thing that God does all the time. Jesus always did what he saw his Father doing, and thus demonstrated that he was God’s true Son. “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:3).

The story of the feeding of the five thousand was not only about the provision of food; the Son reflected God in other ways. For instance, the Father said, “I am the Lord who heals” (Exodus 15:26) and Jesus also heals. The Lord is the God of salvation and Jesus saves. The Lord is the God of deliverance and so is Jesus. The Lord is eternal and changeless and Jesus Christ is the “same yesterday and today and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Within his set of circumstances and during brief walk on earth he modelled the work of the Father. Any picture of God which is unlike Jesus is false. Everything he did, from Bethlehem back to glory, reveals the true heart of God.

I think I should point out something in the verses Luke places before and after the feeding of the multitude. In both texts the question was really about whether Jesus was Elijah or John the Baptist raised again. It is interesting to think that the miracle is about five thousand people being well fed in the wilderness, for both Elijah and John survived in the wilderness on very little, eating whatever they found. They were ascetics, like medieval saints who tried to forget they had stomachs. No – Jesus was not John or Elijah. In fact, his enemies accused him of being a glutton and a winebibber! He emphasised God’s abundance and liberality. He made more bread than was needed in the wilderness and more wine in Cana than they could drink in a week. Bread and wine are Christ’s gifts. Remember that verse from John’s Gospel, “The Son can only do what he sees his Father doing” (5:19)? In other words, the Father gives us bread and wine.

It is strange to think that Jesus made bread in the wilderness. Earlier on in his life Jesus had been tempted to do that very thing and refused. The tempter came to him with the provocation, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread” (Matthew 4:3). Satan was trying to provoke Jesus into proving who he was but Jesus never worked miracles out of such a motive. His mighty acts do indeed prove that Jesus is Lord, as anyone who has seen them will testify, but Jesus himself was not about to show off his power to make people believe in him. He had no faith, anyway, in people who believed in him only as a wonder worker (John 2:23-25). He came to show people what the Father is like and shone with the light of the character of God.

Jesus revealed the Father. He did not reveal himself but waited for people to see it for themselves and cry out like Peter, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16). This helps us understand that unusual saying in Matthew 11:27: “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” The Son reveals the Father, and it is wonderful to be able to say, “I know the Lord.” Yet, the Father alone truly knows the Son.

The identity of Jesus as the Messiah is often proved from Old Testament Scriptures. He fit the prophecies and fulfilled those Scriptures, but Jesus was bigger than the prophecies. The Bible scholars of his day knew all about the Messiah – from an academic point of view. However, Jesus said they knew neither the Scriptures nor the power of God! The Scriptures described the Christ, but he explained the Scriptures. He did more than match the details like a mirror image. He was too big for the mirror. Prophecy fell short of his glory. Christ showed what the Messiah really was, and his life lit up the Scriptures.

The Wisdom of God -- Anonymous, 14:41:30 07/02/03 Wed

Proverbs 19:26-27(KJV):
26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 19:24-25(AMP):
26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to ignore it and stray from the words of knowledge.

Thoughts for the Day:

Great wisdom for young people can be found in the book of Proverbs. Verse 26 states that a son (or daughter) who wastes his father, and chases away his mother (will not listen to her) will cause the family shame and reproach. When we look at the dictionary definition of the word "waste", we can better understand what this means. Quoting from Webster's New World Dictionary the word "waste" means: (1.) to destroy; devastate; ruin (2.) to wear away; consume gradually; use up (3.) to make weak, feeble, wear away strength ....(4.) to use up or spend without real need, gain, or purpose; squander (5.) to fail to take proper advantage of (to waste an opportunity) (6.) (Slang) to kill, usually with violence; esp. to murder.

An evil child who continually rebels and comes against a good father's instructions, in time, will begin to wear away his father and mother. Many parents who are vexed with unruly children become "worn out" in the process of trying to raise them. Children who do not take advantage of having godly parents will live to regret it in time. The Bible gives instructions to children to obey their parents and also admonishes the parent to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:1-4:
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

These verses contain a promise to children. If children will honor and obey their parents things will go well for them and they will live a long life. Children who disobey take the risk of cutting their lives short as rebellion opens the door for evil things to happen to them. An example would be when parents tell their child not to smoke, drink alcohol, or take drugs. If the child then disobeys, the use of these substances will cut their lives short.

It is shocking in our world today that there are children who even murder their own parents. This kind of evil is demonic and can come about when children over a period of time rebel not only against their parents, but they also resist the rules of society and a hatred sets in their hearts that leads them to an act of horror of murdering their own parents.

These verses also tell fathers (and mothers) not to provoke their children to anger. This means we must use wisdom and love when we deal with our children and not treat them unfairly. It does not mean that they may not become angry when they are disciplined and spanked; however, their anger will be short lived when they are disciplined in love. This does not mean giving children their way in all the things they want to do; however, it does mean that a parent will not exchange angry shouts with their children and act as childish as the youngster. As parents, we need God's help to keep from resorting to angry outbursts where we become out of control. Uncontrolled anger begats uncontrolled anger.

Verse 27 of Proverbs also tells young people not to listen to the instructions of those who would cause them to stray from their parents instructions. The knowledge of good parents is a blessing, as it prevents the child from being hurt by evil advice. Young people are told to stay away from those who would give them knowledge and instruction that is bad. If children refuse to stay away from those who are hurting them , then the parents must take the action necessary for breaking up a relationship with someone who is a bad influence on their children. In doing so this will prevent the shame and reproach that the devil wants to bring upon a family. It will also prevent the enemy from hurting our children.

Prayer for the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving us instructions in the Bible as to how we are to help our children. Help us to be good parents. Lord, when we need to discipline our children, help us to do so in Your love and not yield to becoming so emotionally upset that we lose our temper and hurt more than help them. Lord, help us not to shrink from spanking and disciplining our children when they need it knowing that it will cause them to cease from rebellion and evil. May our children understand Your ways and desire to follow You and have a spirit of obedience. Lord, heal any breaches between parents and their children and cause our families to walk in Your love. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

S. N. Goenka To Tour North America in 2002 -- Anonymous, 15:37:46 04/27/02 Sat


S. N. Goenka To Tour North America in 2002

Internationally Known Teacher of Vipassana Meditation To Give Public Talks in 35 Cities and Teach

S. N. Goenka, the internationally known teacher of meditation, will conduct a nearly four month tour of North America, April to August, 2002. He will be teaching and speaking about the ancient meditation practice of Vipassana throughout the United States and Canada, spreading information about this simple, practical way to achieve real peace of mind.

During the tour, Mr. Goenka will give public talks in 35 cities; participate in ten-day meditation courses in Massachusetts, Washington, and British Columbia; teach at numerous oneday
meditation courses for returning students, and participate in a special ten-day retreat for leaders and executives. He will speak at the Spirit in Business conference in New York, address the United Nations to mark the Buddha’s birth date, and meet with business and government leaders and with corrections officials where Vipassana courses are offered to inmates. The tour
begins in New York City April 20 and ends there August 6.

S. N. Goenka, 78, is widely respected as the foremost lay teacher of Vipassana. Based in India, he oversees 80 meditation centers worldwide, and meditation courses using his approach have been held in 90 countries. Every year more than 100,000 people attend ten-day meditation
retreats under his guidance. This is Mr. Goenka’s first extended teaching tour in North America.

Vipassana means “to see things as they really are.” This non-sectarian technique of mentaltraining and ethical conduct is the essence of what the Buddha taught. It is a logical process of mental refinement through self-observation. As taught by Mr. Goenka, Vipassana is open to everyone, regardless of background or belief, and is offered free from any commercial interest. All meditation courses, even accommodations and food, are given completely free of charge, supported by voluntary donations from previous participants.

make $6 into $6000!!!!!!!!!!! read this -- Anonymous, 22:26:34 04/18/03 Fri

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
Mailing Adresses
1. J. ROBINSON, 550 HAMMOND DR, SANDY SPRINGS, GA 30328
2. K. KNODEL, 12267 LEMON BLOSSOM, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78247
3. B. LAMPMAN, 14 RIVERSIDE DR, RAYMOND, NH 03077
4. P. FREY, 4577 W. PONDS CIR, LITTLETON, CO 80123
5. R. ERNEST, 8005 CHENNAULT AVE. UNIT 1839, ELMENDORF, AK 99506
6. S. TOTT, 502 CHESTNUT STREET, BELLEVUE, IOWA 52031

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

If u dont pay the $6.00 to the people, u will be marked down and banned from this site or u could just not do it but then u wouldnt get money, so its up to u.

QUITTNER replies: The problem is that there are so very many versions of Christianity. The FIRST version, by Jesus, was by Jews for Jews, and only after the crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans was there a special effort to recruit non-Jews, probably to get some of their money too. This implied changing what Jesus wanted, and adding bits and pieces of many non-Jewish religions/belief systems that were around at that time, and suitable marketing methods were applied.
..... "Believing" is useless. All those who SAY that they follow Jesus are supposed to OBEY at all times the teachings of Jesus, without picking and choosing which items they will and will not obey.

You are just a Christ hating Jew yourself using pathetic excuses to rebel against God! All you Christ hating Jews keep quiet about pagan teachings but want to reject the ways of God who has Jesus sitting on his right hand as his Son (John 14:6)! If this was about money as you say, the Church would be DEAD conforming to pagan beliefs! Pagans and Christians would have agreed in the early centuries and in recent times with Jesus and God being proud about it! you Jews will say anything to rebel against Biblical principle!

There is a reason why these two religions sharing the same Torah/Old testiment and one God have survived. And that reason is not money, that is satans tool. Ther is a great reason for both of these, for the jews after endless pursicution since the death of the Christian Christ. Christians were not to revenge his death...Oh how much there is to learn, to study to dream....never enough time here.

(LADY EXPOSER) All slaves, outcasts, rebels, downcasts, and others the time is now to rebel!!!! How are we to do this? By a gathering of prayer in the name of Christ Jesus on the night of May 1, 2001! I want to ask each and every one of you to spend only one hour in worship and devotion to the Lord GOD in prayer and praise. Going through
tough times? Stressed? Did your blessive opportunity seem as though it arrived but know it seems like it will never come?
Spending an hour in worship and praise to the Lord, will diminish all deceptions and make your walks of darkness crumble providing you with solutions and comfort. So turn the television on a Church program, read scriptures from the Word of GOD, and afterwards, give Him the glorious praise he deserves, because remember, it can always get worse and it will by you deciding to use the Lord as a "give" me tool! Matthew ch 5 provides us with blessing in all of our situations; good as well as the bad!

Greetings, My name is Dennis Petti

I am a member of the Christian Campus House and a College student in Warrensburg, Mo. We are in need of Bibles for a new Bible table ministry here on campus. It is the first ministry of it’s kind here and we would like to reach as many students as possible. There is also a video set up next to the table and it will play the Jesus movie constantly. We have contacted the International Bible Society out of Colorado Springs, Co. They will split the cost in half for us. The normal cost of a case of 24 would normally cost $42.00 + shipping, ½ off will now only be $ 24.15 with shipping included and $10.00 more for Spanish and Childrens Bibles needed mostly. If you could donate Bibles or send a donation to help with support to this ministry it would be a great blessing. Checks can be made payable to either Christian Campus House or International Bible Society. We will provide a receipt and a monthly news letter updating you.

The Christian Campus House is a student organization here at Central Missouri State University. We are very involved on campus and in our local community. We visit and volunteer at Show Me Youth Home for children, missions trips throughout the country and in Mexico. The Campus House Minister is Tim Hawkins and has received his master’s degree. A complete viewing of our ministry is available on the web at www.digdeeper.org Thank you so much for reading this letter and for your support and prayers.

"Without Money" -- Anonymous, 13:04:39 01/11/03 Sat

Without Money!
Cecil Spivey

Yes, strange as it may seem in this day when money is virtually the god of multitudes, the most valuable thing in life can be had “Without Money.”
It may not be possible to secure food, raiment, shelter, education and transportation without money; but that which is more important and more interesting than all these is absolutely free.

Undoubtedly it will be agreed that the salvation of God is the most valuable thing in life. And, though at an infinite cost to God, that salvation has been provided as a free gift to man. This is evident from the words of the Apostle Peter to Simon: “Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money” (Acts 8:20). God regardeth not the rich more than the poor (Job 34:19).

And not only is this salvation to be had “without money,” it is also Without Price!

There may be those who will readily admit that it is impossible to purchase God’s salvation with money, but who at the same time insist that there is some sort of price to pay for it. To all such, the following Scripture should make it plain that salvation is without price: “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).

“Freely” here means “gratuitously,” “without a cause,” “for naught.” And “grace means “everything for nothing to one who deserves nothing but judgment.”

The Lord Jesus Christ paid the price of salvation. He “gave Himself for our sins” (Gal. 1:4). The Son of God “loved me and gave Himself for me” Gal. 2:20). Because He paid the price-His precious blood- there remains no price for us to pay. We are justified “freely” and “by His grace.” Further more, this salvation is also to be had Without Works!

Most persons have difficulty in believing that salvation is without works. They seem to be satisfied that they cannot purchase salvation in any way, but they entertain the thought that they can work for it. Let all such consider the following passages: “Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:9).

“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:4-5).

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” (2 Timothy 1:9).

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit”(Titus 3:5).
“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28).

Upon believing the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation, you will receive the Holy Spirit. Possessing Him, you will be able to “be zealous of good works” (Titus 2:14). But do not imagine that this is working For salvation. Salvation is “without works”; but every person already saved, should be zealous of good works-not to be saved, but because he is saved. In addition to all this, salvation is to be had Without Waiting!

It is difficult for many to believe that salvation is to be had without waiting. They are laboring under the impression that it is necessary for them to wait until they are better or to wait for certain feelings or to wait for certain sounds and sights. They imagine that they must wait for a “more convenient season.”

All such should be eager to know that the Scripture says: Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2Cor. 6:2). It is not necessary to wait another moment to be saved. This voice, harden not your hearts” (Heb. 3:15). Will you have God’s salvation without money, without price, without works and without waiting?


THE DISPENSATIONS!
By H. I. Brown


1 INTRODUCTION

Most of my life has been spent taking the Gospel of Grace to a people who contest every point and who find many supposed contradictions. The Dispensational study of the Bible answers those supposed contradictions.

At the same time a part of life has been spent in meeting others who believed the Bible yet were going through deep mental and spiritual suffering because they did not understand the absolute need of noting the distinctions between the Dispensation of The Law and the Dispensation of Grace, and in addition, noting that there was a Period of the Announcement of the Kingdom to Israel and a Period of the Offer of the Kingdom to Israel and that there will be in the future a Period of The Tribulation. They were trying to apply to their lives, or someone else was trying to apply to them, laws and teachings that are not for the present Dispensation of Grace, jumbling all together as if there were no dispensations. Thus, disrepute has been brought upon the Word of God. The more one studies the Dispensations, the more one sees the wonderful precision and accuracy of Scripture and the heart is enlivened to worship and appreciate the Lord more. I trust your heart will so respond.

The Dispensations are the foundation for all Bible study. They are like the multiplication tables, when once learned, you use them daily. And without them one is greatly handicapped, to say the least.

The following studies (notes of lessons I have given to Bible Classes from time to time) have been printed by request. A need was felt to have an elementary foundational study and, shall I say, "simple" so it may be grasped by anyone who will sincerely study it. It is like a "beginner's book." Also brevity has been striven for-perhaps it is like a bird's eye view of the subject. I have tried also to cover answers to questions that came up as the material was taught or discussed with friends.

May this series serve to banish confusion and to whet your appetite, give you a "bon appetite," for further study and may you have ever increasing joy in the Word and great usefulness in being able to teach others.

In a message I gave on Astronomy and the Bible I mentioned Serius, the brightest star. It is blue with flashing red rays like darts of fire. At the close a young girl said in great excitement, "I've seen that! But my mother and sister say I am crazy; they do not see what I see." She was not crazy: She had the better eyesight! There is so much to see in the study of the Scriptures, but all Believers have the "eyesight" and may open their eyes to behold the great beauty. May you permit the eyes of your understanding ever to be enlightened, Ephesians 1:15-23.



After you have rear this chapter there are 8 more chapters that will help you to understand “THE DISPENSATIONS.” I would like to send them to you by E-mail.

No contribution will be solicited or accepted. This book is yours absolutely FREE. Your E-mail will not be used for any other purpose.

Protect Your Christmas!! -- Anonymous, 17:57:05 12/29/02 Sun

Don't Let the "Grand Old Grinch" Steal YOUR Christmas!
The "Grinch" is great news these days! The classic, wonderful Dr. Seuss book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," a traditional holiday TV movie, is now a holiday smash hit, a theatre money-maker, with its accompanying gifts and merchandise...and grinches are everywhere! (Be sure to check out the Christian review links--and much more--listed below.)
When all is said and done--and seen, there's one "grinch" I know who THINKS he's grand, ACTS like he's grand, and if you believe him, he will grandly take over your life--BIGTIME--stealing the precious gifts you've received from the Lord. He's the enemy of your soul. He'll steal the love, joy and peace of Christmas--and replace it with strife, sadness and stress--all too common at this time of the year.

Be on guard - let the Holy Spirit give you a discerning spirit so you won't be robbed of a REAL Christmas this year. Let's focus our full attention on Jesus Christ who came to fill our lives with eternal gifts that money cannot buy. Hold tightly to His love, joy and peace AND you'll still have plenty to give away. His gifts are without limit and without price (He's already paid it!)--and that's what Christmas is all about!

Believe it--don't let the "grand old grinch" get his grungy foot in your door--show him the GRAND EXIT--and have a great day!

May the Mind of Christ! -- Anonymous, 16:50:04 11/17/02 Sun


MAY THE MIND OF CHRIST, MY SAVIOR


May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power, controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

Beware of the Spirit of Python! -- Anonymous, 14:32:30 10/27/02 Sun

Wisdom's Corner
Beware of Those Like the Spirit of Python
In Acts chapter sixteen we read about a girl who had a spirit of divination. This girl was following Paul and his companions around saying, "These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation?" The spirit in the girl was making her say this. What she was saying was true. But it was also false. Is that confusing to you? That is what the evil spirit intended to do to the people who were following Paul.

The evil spirit did not want people to believe in Christ. The evil spirit was a servant of the devil. So what did the spirit mean by what he said? In the greek the "spirit of divination" is "pneuma puthona", which means a spirit of Python. This is a reference to the Greek God Apollos. Apollos killed the god Pythian. Because of this he was called Apollos Pythian. Apollos was also known as the god of truth. He was the Most High god to the Greeks. He was the god of light and there was no darkness in him.

There was a woman who lived in the cave, Delphi, that Python supposedly lived in before he was killed by Apollos. The greeks believed that she spoke words that Apollos gave her. She was known as the Oracle of Delphi. She was a very well known person. Her words were considered the final say on any matter. Anything she said was supposed to be true and no one was supposed to speak against her. She was believed to be guiding the people in the divine will of the god Apollos.

The girl in Acts 16 is being used in this way by the men who owned her. The people in the area thought that she was speaking for Apollos. When it says she was soothsaying it meant she would use the same kind of mad howling and deep speaking that the Oracle of Delphi used.

So when the girl with the evil spirit made the statement about Paul her words were true. Paul was indeed the spokesman for Almighty God. But what she meant for the people to believe was that Paul was a spokesman for the greek God Apollos. This would have caused great confusion for the people who were listening to Paul.

What this shows is that you must be careful when listening to someone who is preaching or teaching. They may quote many scriptures but be using them to teach the wrong thing. Or they may be saying something true but may actually mean something else. You may understand them to say one thing but someone else may understand them to say something else. The one preaching or teaching should be careful to make sure that everyone understands the same thing. Paul made the evil spirit come out of the girl to demonstrate that he represented God, not Apollos.

Today someone may have to stand up and tell others that the speaker is not really teaching the truth. It may have to be pointed out that he is actually a false teacher even though his words may sound good.

The way to make sure someone is teaching the truth is to learn God's word, the Bible. Until next time, keep reading and studying your Bible. And if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.

Love -- Anonymous, 05:53:38 08/12/02 Mon

The most important word God can give to us and has giving to us is love. But may I ask you all something what can you do when you feel in your heart that that love is gone. You feel like giving up and don't want to go on. But the lord want let you b/c he know where his going take you in life and where his trying to bring you out with his unconditional love. But all you do is doubt him. Many people say God have a greater works for you do in your life but how can he use a little 18 teen your old girl like me when all I do is doubt his word. Right now I need the power of prayer in my life so that I can come to understand with the Lord. Please Please help me by God word

Let God know how you feel in Jesus name. Study the bible and obey it to the best of your ability by the power of Jesus. You can also consult the help of a church ministry because there are many other souls submitted to following Jesus Christ. You're also in my prayers.

(LADY EXPOSER) I agree 100%. But how can you doubt God when he helped you so much time and time again anyway? I mean, you're still living aren't you? he helped in in crucial times when you begged him too and promised not to ever do a certain thing again (even though you may have broken the promise) didn't He? Since he has enough faith in you to get closer to him (which is why He is slow to anger) (Romans 1), there is NO way you should doubt him! To have a deeper love for GOD means you have to have faith in Him through Jesus and strive for perfection by being obedient to His Word. (1st Corinthians 11) it takes being a slave to righteousness by putting our flesh to death no matter how hard it is (Romans 6). You can do your own thing and expect a increased blessings. We must have the same love that Christ has for us (Mark 16)You can't partake in Hell and expect the results of Heaven! It doesn't work that way because you'll coninually be confused and miserable! A closer walk with GOD in Christ takes constant faith, praise, prayer, obedience and studying GOD's word. (Luke 9, Galatians 6, 1st Peter 3, 2nd Corinthians 4, Ephesians 6)

ANOTHER PRAYER GATHERING! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 13:31:38 07/30/02 Tue

It's been a while, but once again the need for a prayer gathering calls. Let us connect together in spirit at 1:00 am EST 8/2/02 (late 8/1/02). In prayer, look up to the Heavns and call upon the presence of GOD in Jesus'name. While doing this, vision nothing else in the room excpet for clouds and blur skies. Look down and vision a step made of white fire. See yourself taking another step. As you take each step, see a new step made of white fire appearing. After the 20th step, see two golden thrones. Let the middle throne be the tallest as it sits next to the other throne on the right. Vision Jesus sitting on he right side and see an image of a being made of white fire (this image represents GOD). Also vision the holy angels flying above the thrones in a circle. Above the middle throne, see a cirle of white fire. This represents the Holy Spirit. White fire represents the fire of GOD as it has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus making our spirits whiter than snow. Praise GOD for the awersome miracles made upon your life and in the lives of others. Praise GOD in Jesus name for his grace and mercy through Jesus. Praise Jesus for having unconditional love by making himself a sacrifice for our sins. For defeating death, Hell, and the grave (Acts 2) and for being the perfect example for every soul on earth (Romans 8). Also make your praises known to both Christ and GOD for personal reasons (healing, marriage restoration, finances, peace, etc.) After this, make your prayer requests known to GOD in Jesus' name. Also pray for the morality to be bestowed upon the globe and pray for peace in Jerusalem. Do all of this for at least 15 mins. One of the ways the church is strengthed is through a gathering of prase and prayer. It strenghthens our spirits and connect us with the faith of GOD through Christ to stand firm in all trials with a righteous spirit, and for out needs to be met as two or three are gathered in Christ's name! (Matthew 18, John 16, Acts 10, Ephesians 6, Philippians 1)

Prayer For Peace!! -- Anonymous, 11:54:08 07/16/02 Tue

Prayer for Peace


Dear God of Peace, I turn aside from a hectic world, seeking rest for my spirit
and light for my thoughts. I bring my work to be sanctified, my wounds to be
healed, my sins to be forgiven, and my hopes to be rewarded. In you there is
perfect peace. Grant me the harmony that resides in you. Draw me to you,
and silence the discords of my wasteful actions. Your greatness is beyond my
highest praise. Take me out of the loveliness of self, and fill me with the
fullness of your peace.

It is you who say that thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is
stayed on thee. Therefore, I accept your peace that passes all understanding
and embrace your word that is able to calm the storms of life. I accept your
peace, not as the world gives, but according to your promise in Jesus Name.

Conversion -- Anonymous, 13:57:14 07/02/02 Tue

I was born in the middle east from a muslim father and a Christian
mother. I was rasied as a muslem,when I became 11 I realized that
my friends are not interested in talking or even in playing with me and
I found out later that the reason is that my mother is christian, this
made me think a lot of thinking for an 11 years old. My father was
really concern about my faith he did all what he can to make me be a
muslem you can count from beating to insulting to even beaten my
mother although that she has nothing to do with that at that time.
This made me ask a lot of questions like why he is (my own father)
doing this to me
and to my mother? when I became a 10 years old I started to read
the Bible with out telling any one, and I start asking my mother about
christianity, and try to understand as much as I can from the Bible.
one time I was playing with the radio stations and suddenly I heard
the word "Jesus" this made me stop I was so happy to hear about
Jesus and the stories from the Bible.
It was such a joy I shared the good news with my mom she was
scared a little becasue of my father but when she looked in my eyes
she knew that I will try everything to know Jesus and every thing
about Him. So she started talking to me about Jesus and reading to
me from thee Bible, I wont forget those preciuos times when I used
to sit next to my mother listning to her reading and explaining to me
what she reads but evile wont let it go my father almost every night
would come and start fighting with my mom beating her and kiking
her out of thee house it was such a hard time on me and on my
brother and sister.
our lives kept going like that between crying and hoping to adore our
God Jesus freely I always loved the story of MOses when he led his
people out of egypt, and many times I thought our house in Egypt and
my father is like pheror. When I became 19 when my father divorced
my mohter, although it was obvious that they will never be able to
continue their lives like this but still it was like a shock to me. My
father didn't allow my mother to take us, so she had to leave us with
my father, he was a very rich man but never tried to spend a penny
on us because he knew that we were christians. This made me think
twice about God why would he allow such a thing to happen in my
life to my own mother and father!! so I locked my room on me fro
almost 3 months talking to no body hearing my mother crying to the
Lord for me. So I decided to put an end to my life three times I tried
to put an end to my life but every time I go to do so I hear a voice
sayin "you are mine". This make me feel so scared that I run and
leave the room. One day my mother came to me and said go to the
church I'm sure that the Lord has something for you there today.
I went for my mother sake. When I enterd the church a woman
attracted me her face was so peaceful, like an angel!
she went on and she sat in her place I went after her and meant to sit
behind her, I didn't really understand what was the preacher talking
about, but I heard him saying this verse"come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matt. 11:28 After the
church is finished I stayed wating for that lady wondering about her
peace, she turned back to me and asked me are you a beliver? I said:
no!! She saud do you want to be in peace I said yes she said then
pray with me I prayed a very simple prayer I said Lord fill me with
your peace and forgive me sins against you in your name I pray
Amen. since that day Dec.10/1990 till now I didn't see the Lord
foresaking me or leaving me He is always there for me.
Amen

Sharing The Wealth -- Anonymous, 12:43:36 06/25/02 Tue



Read: Luke 12:13-21

Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you.
—James 5:3

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 34-36; John 19:1-22



One of the most popular TV programs in the US is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But the
amount of money to be won is a mere pittance when compared with the amount suggested by
the title of another contest: "I Wanna Be A Gazillionaire Geek." Since 1989, the Sloan School
of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has offered a prize to students
who team up to create the best plan for starting a business. And what's the incentive? Public
welfare? Community service? Alleviating poverty? No, the goal is to make money simply to be
rich.

Although Scripture doesn't condemn wealth, it certainly warns against the pursuit of money as
an end in itself. Our Lord strongly denounced putting our confidence in riches as a source of
pride and security (Matthew 6:24; Luke 12:15). Therefore, our prayer should be: "Give me
neither poverty nor riches" (Proverbs 30:8).

And what if the Lord blesses us with resources beyond what we need? The apostle Paul urged
believers to work with their hands "what is good, that [they] may have something to give him
who has need" (Ephesians 4:28). That's the principle of stewardship—sharing our wealth to
help others. —VCG

We give Thee but Thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be:
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from Thee. —How

Wealth is a double blessing when you share it with others.

24 HOUR FAST ON 5/15/02! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 16:21:17 05/14/02 Tue

Another time has come where the people of GOD in Christ must go beyond making prayer requests but propose a day of fasting. Fasting is sacrificing your appetite
through the absence of food in exchange for an urgent prayer to become granted. In Isaiah 58, 1st Kings 2, Esther 4, Matthew 17 and many more, when GOD's
people needed safety, justice, morality, food, water, etc sent among them, they all fasted. We must do the same for the purpose of abolishing immoral content from
upon our airwaves. GODless people contact the kingdom of darkness in ways they are instructed too by their pagan teachings. When they follow their instructions
given by ancient evil sources disguised as gods, goddesses,
sun, moon, stars, etc. success of deception is obtained. As the church under the leadership of GOD through Christ, we have an even greater right to follow the
instructions of GOD in Heaven who created ancient evil forces who tremble before Christ, The Holy Spirit and GOD. They are doomed for eternal torment because
of their rebellion.

So beginning tonight at midnight/early morning of 5/15/02 , let our spirits connect together in a 24 hour fast from food. This sacrifice will rise before GOD as
smoke from fire and will cause him to yield to our urgent cry. But not only fast, but pray feverently for the moralism of our nation and our globe. After that, give
Christ and GOD the praise they deserve. Let's do this together for 20 mins at 11:40 EST on the night of 5/15/02. Vision yourself standing in front of a golden altar
4ft tall with white fire burning from it, and white crosses on it shining brighter than snow. The fire represents the presence of GOD and the whiteness symbolizes our
sins being cleansed in Christ to become a new creation (2nd Corinthians 5). Why fast? Because the absence of food is taken very seriously to GOD. Food is the
source of life for the body and it can also become an extreme addiction. Take a look at Bible examples. It was food that cursed Adam and Eve (Gen 3), Esau (Gen
25), The Ancient Israelites (Exodus 32 and Numbers 11), Eli the Priest (1st Samuel 3, Judas Iscariot (John 13), the Corinthians (1st Corinthians 11, and even during
the anti-Christ's reign (Revelation 13). So when fasting, you are trading a need and putting an addiction your body yearns for to death as your spirit grows stronger in
Christ the Lord. If you never faster before, do a fruit and vegetable fast. But try to fast for 24 hours or at least half the day. But for the rest, do a no food fast for 24
hours. It's time to move away from the baby Christian level and into a more mature one (Hebrews 5). Hard work produces better results and an enduring spirit (2
Corinthians 6). Continue to e-mail churches, the PTC, and other pro-morale groups altering them of the immoral contents shown on networks. Name the networks,
the shows, and their sponsors. Let them know to also boycott them for 4 months until the content is changed to decency!

IT'S MA 1ST! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 15:30:24 04/30/02 Tue

It's almost May 1st! Another year for all slaves, outcasts, downcast, and rebels of the world to gather together in righteousness and holiness of Christ, the Holy
Spirit. and Almighty GOD. For 15 mins seek and closer relationship with the three and a deeper understanding. Pick a chapter to read from the book of Psalms.
Before doing this, GOD in Jesus name to allow you to see the act going on in the Psalms chapter by the power of the Holy Spirit. Also. ask to feel the emotions the
Psalmist felt when writing the chapter
and to feel the emotions other GODLy people felt during the Psalms chapter. The chapter you choose may be the one related to your emotions. If you're happy.
pick one of happiness, If you're sad, pick one of sadness, angry etc. You can also do the same if you are in sadness and want to feel happiness. Doing this will cause
you to get closer to understanding the power of GOD and overcoming your burdens.
Next, give praises to the Lord GOD for the breathe of life. For having the chance at eternal life because of the unconditional love of Christ Jesus. (Romans 1 and
Colossians 1) While doing this visualize yourself on the side of a peaceful stream by the woods. While in the vision, visualize a mountain with 5 of your favorite fruits
sticking from it (just as the US Presidents are on MT Everest). Then Visualize the juices flowing from the fruits and into the streams. Take a taste of it from the
stream. This represents the fruits of the Holy Spirit through Christ who represents
the springs of everlasting water (John 4). After this, make your prayers known to GOD in Jesus' name and give them both of the praise afterwards. This gathering of
prayer and praise strengthens the church in order to make us a more powerful and global unit anointed by the Holy Trinity! *2nd Thessalonians 3, 1st Corinthians
12)

IT'S TIME TO CAST DOWN A HOLY CONQUERING FROM HEAVEN ABOVE! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 16:49:16 02/11/02 Mon

By the power of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ, and dominated by GOD, we must take back our airwaves. We must
snatch back morality in the broadcast! Seeds of sickness have challenged every soul bearing the name of Jesus. rather than
keeping their filth after hours, perversion is being spread in the afternoon and primitive. The plan of perverted take is being
masked behind foreigners. Countries importing perversion while using "culture" as an excuse to do so! This must be stopped
and the only way to do it is through GOD in Jesus' name. When the Kingdom of darkness continues to erupt deception
massively, the Kingdom of light must propose a fasting and prayer. Fasting is the ultimate solution when GODlessness is at its
highest peak (Matthew 6, 4, and Mark 2). It is a sacrifice by exchanging something dear for something better! It is putting your
flesh to death as your spirit of obedience in Jesus grows much stronger.

This is one of the areas in spiritual warfare that must be fought. So this Friday 2/15/02 we must partake in a 24 hour fast
followed by a 15 min at 11:15pm prayer requesting the destruction of immorality from upon our airwaves. Fasting without food
is most powerful because it is the ultimate sacrifice of human need and love. But for Christians who never fasted, partake in at
least a part time fast of 12 hours. You can also fast by eating only fruits and vegetables that day (for those who donot eat like
this regularly). Another way to fast is to be without your most prized possessions (no TV, Radio, etc). The kingdom of
darkness demands us to submit to their plans of immorality. They want perversion instilled upon our airwaves, our homes, and
our nations! In secular war, the enemy uses their strongest weapons of attack. Their soldiers who are strongest at undermining
their enemy are used to destroy the lands. In the spiritual realm, evil forces have the same strategy. GODless people who have
strongest influence in the nation and strongest secular connections are used to seduce citizens to embrace immoral seduction.
But obediently following GODly rules will ravish evil plans! So on 2/15/02
at 11:15pm, not only fast, but spend time giving the Lord GOD and Jesus the praise; thanking them for being the dominant
source in the world and not allow dark times to overcome us! Pray for the morality of the world and to completely obliterate it
in society. Also, pray for the enemies of GOD who partake in evil plans. Pray also for your enemies as well (Matthew 5,
Romans 12). We all were the enemies of Christ who have now become His relatives (Romans 5 and 8). When Jesus was
mocked, beaten and crucified, He forgave the attackers. We must carry the name love in our hearts!

So partake in the following:

1.Fast 24 hours on 2/15/02
2. Prayer and Praise to Christ and GOD 2/15/02 at 11:15pm
3.
Send e-mails to churches in America and world wide, to your congressman, to the State Senator, the US Senator, the Vice
President, and President letting them know that you as well as millions of Bible believers are disgusted with their actions of
allowing nudity to be shown in the afternoon and primitive hours. Be sure to let them know the shows and networks airing them
such as Univision (Caliente and Sabado Gigante).

4. Boycott ALL sponsors supporting these programs.

5. Help others in need through tithes and offerings. This rebukes Satan and his army from your finances and keeps you at peace
in your mind and spirit. In order to get help, you must help others (Matthew 25, 1st Corinthians 8)!

THE GOOD FIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOUGHT! BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS'
NAME, DOMINATED BY GOD, WE WILL WIN!!!

Gospels! -- Anonymous, 16:47:13 02/04/02 Mon

The central fact of Christian preaching was the intelligence that the
Savior had come into the world (Matt. 4:23; Rom. 10:15); and the
first Christian preachers who called their account of the person
and mission of Christ by the term evangelion_ (= good message)
were called _evangelistai (= evangelists) (Eph. 4:11; Acts 21:8).

There are four historical accounts of the person and work of
Christ: "the first by Matthew, announcing the Redeemer as the promised King of the kingdom
of God; the second by Mark, declaring him 'a prophet, mighty in deed and word'; the third by
Luke, of whom it might be said that he represents Christ in the special character of the Savior
of sinners (Luke 7:36; 15:18); the fourth by John, who represents Christ as the Son of God, in
whom deity and humanity become one. The ancient Church gave to Matthew the symbol of the
lion, to Mark that of a man, to Luke that of the ox, and to John that of the eagle: these were the
four faces of the cherubim" (Ezek. 1:10).

Date. The Gospels were all composed during the latter part of the first century, and there is
distinct historical evidence to show that they were used and accepted as authentic before the
end of the second century.

Mutual relation. "If the extent of all the coincidences be represented by 100, their proportionate
distribution will be: Matthew, Mark, and Luke, 53; Matthew and Luke, 21; Matthew and Mark,
20; Mark and Luke, 6. Looking only at the general result, it may be said that of the contents of
the synoptic Gospels [i.e., the first three Gospels] about two-fifths are common to the three, and
that the parts peculiar to one or other of them are little more than one-third of the whole."

Origin. Did the evangelists copy from one another? The opinion is well founded that the
Gospels were published by the apostles orally before they were committed to writing, and that
each had an independent origin. (See MATTHEW, GOSPEL OF.)

Paul’s Gospel! -- Anonymous, 17:11:50 02/02/02 Sat

Paul’s Gospel!
Faith Alone in Christ Alone


There are two great revelations, or unfolders of Divine Truth in the Bible – Moses in the Old Testament, and Paul in the New.

Someone may say, “Is not Christ the Great Teacher?” In a sense this is true; but in a real sense Christ is the Person taught about, rather than teaching, in the Gospels. The law an the prophets pointed forward to Christ; the Epistles point back to Him; ant the Book of Revelation points to His second coming, and those things connected with it. The Four Gospels tell the story how He was revealed to man, and rejected by them. Christ, Himself, therefore is the theme of the Bible. Moses in the Law reveals God’s holiness, and thus by means of the Law reveals human sin, and the utter hopelessness and helplessness of man. Paul in his great Epistles reveals Christ as our Righteousness, Sanctification, Redemption, and All in All.

The twelve Apostles (Matthias by Divine appointment taking the place of Judas) were to be the “witnesses” (Acts 1:22) of Christ’s resurrection – that is of the fact of it. They were not to unfold fully the doctrine of it, as Paul was. The twelve were with Jesus personally, and knew Him as a man; and when He died they saw it. When He was buried, they knew it personally, as eye-witnesses. And when He was raised, they found it out experimentally, visiting His actual tomb, and seeing that it was empty. They were also to see and handle the physical, risen body of our Lord. And it was with them that our Lord abode on earth forty days after His resurrection, “showing Himself alive (physically, in a body) by many infallible proofs” (Acts 1:3).


*Christ, when on earth, did not “start” anything. He said, in Matt. 16:18: “I will build My Church;” but He had not yet built it. He was a “Minister of the circumcision,” (Rom. 15:8; Matt. 15:24); and though He taught, it was to discover to men their helplessness, and lead them to rely on Him. Finally, all failed in Gethsemane. Then came the Cross and the end of all things human. Then the resurrection, and a new beginning.


This great fact--that is, that the Person that the Jews themselves well knew they had crucified and buried, was risen from the dead and ascended to heaven-this tremendous fact the twelve Apostles witnessed to Israel at Jerusalem, and everywhere else. Thus we find the opening chapters of the Book of Acts filled with the single testimony that Jesus of Nazareth had risen from the dead; and that remission of sins was through Him.

But unto none of these twelve Apostles did God reveal the great body of doctrine for this age. Just as God chose Moses to be the revelator to Israel of the Ten Commandments, and all connected with the Law dispensation; so God chose Saul of Tarsus to be the revelator and unfolder of those mighty truths connected with our Lord’s burial, and resurrection, and His ascended Person. And all the “mysteries” or “secrets” revealed to God’s people in this dispensation by the Holy Ghost are revealed by Paul. Finally, Paul is the unfolder of that great company of God’s elect, called the Church, the Body of Christ, the individuals of which body are called members of the Body of Christ-members of Christ Himself.

No other Apostle speaks of these things. Peter himself had to learn them from Paul (II Peter 3: 15-16). When Paul finishes his thirteen great Epistles (Romans to Philemon) those which belong to the Church, God indeed permits him to give a message to the Hebrews. This is not part of the Church’s doctrine, but is simply explaining to Hebrew Christians the character, the real application, the typical meaning, of their Levitical system-that is, how it pointed forward to Christ.

James addresses his Epistle to “the twelve tribes”-that is, his Epistle has special reference to the Jewish Christians in the early days, and to such throughout the dispensation, for that matter. Peter writes to “the strangers who are sojourners of the Dispersion,” that is, to the dispersed Jews who acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah.

In Galatians the second chapter we are distinctly told by Paul, that James, Cephas and John were to go to the circumcision, while Paul tells us that his message was to the Gentiles. Since then the testimony by the Jewish Apostles to the Jews was duly given, there is now no distinction between Jews and Gentiles; and Paul’s message holds good for the world, both Jews and Gentiles. So that we find Paul finally sets the Jewish nation aside in the last chapter of the Book of Acts, and opens his great Epistle to the Gentile center of the world with the statement that “there is no difference” between men; for “all have sinned;” and that there is again “no difference,” for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved;” since the same Lord is “Lord of all” (Rom. 3:22-23 and Rom. 10:12)

God does as He pleases, and it pleased Him to choose-first to save people in this dispensation through “the foolishness of preaching,” or the “preached thing”-that is, through the message about the Cross, and what was done there (See I Cor. 1:21). And second, it pleased Him to choose Paul to be the great proclaimer and revealer of just what the Gospel is for this dispensation

You can judge any man’s preaching or teaching by this rule-Is he Pauline? Does his doctrine start and finish according to those statements of Christian doctrine uttered by the Apostle Paul?

No matter how wonderful a man may seem in his gifts and apparent consecration-if his Gospel is not Pauline, it is not the Gospel; and we might as well get our minds settled at once as to that. Paul calls down the anathema-that is the curse of God Himself-upon anyone who preaches any other Gospel than that which he declared (Gal. 1).

Not for one moment are we to believe that James, Peter and John were at variance with Paul-not in the least. They were given certain things by the Spirit, to say to certain classes of people. They do not conflict with Paul. And their words are included in the statement that “All Scripture is profitable” (II Timothy 3:16).

But, nevertheless, Paul is the declarer and revealer of the Gospel to us. Take Romans to Philemon out of the Bible and you are bereft of Christine doctrine. For instance, if you were to take Paul’s Epistles out of the Bible, you cannot find anything about the Church, the Body of Christ, for no other Apostle mentions the Body of Christ. You cannot find one of the great mysteries, such as the Rapture of the Church (I Thes. 4,I Cor. 15) or the mystery of the present hardening of Israel (Romans 11). No other Apostle speaks of any of those mysteries. Paul alone reveals them-the great doctrines such as Justification, Redemption, Sanctification. And what is perhaps the most tremendous fact of every real Christian life, that of his personal union to the Lord in glory. Paul is the great divinely chosen opener to us of truth for this age.

The great doctrines that Paul reveals may be outlined as follows-

1. The unrighteousness before God of all men.

2. The impossibility of justification by works before God-that is, of any man’s attaining a standing of righteousness before God, by anything done by him. Do what a man may, he is a condemned sinner still.

3. The fact and the scripturalness of righteousness on the free gift principle-that is, of a Divine righteousness, separate from all man’s doings, conferred upon man as a free gift from God.

4. Propitiation: That satisfaction of God’s Holy nature and law for man’s sins rendered by Christ’s blood.

5. Reconciliation: The removal, by Christ’s death for man of that obstacle to righteousness which man’s sin had set up between God and man.

6. The plan of the actual conferring of the gift of righteousness upon all who believe, without any distinction. This change of a sinner’s standing before God, from one of condemnation to one of righteousness, is called Justification, Negatively, it is deliverance from guilt on account of Christ’s shed blood, and deliverance out of the old creation, by identification in death with Christ on the Cross. Positively, it is a new standing in the risen Christ before God.

7. Redemption-the buying back of the soul through the blood of Christ from sin; from the curse of the law- even death, involving, exclusion from God, under penalty; from the “power of death,” which involves the hand of the enemy; and from all iniquity.

8. Forgiveness-the going forth of Divine tenderness in remitting penalty for sin, in view of the blood of Christ trusted in; and in complacency and fellowship, to creatures who before were necessarily under Divine judgment.

9. Remission of sins-that is, the actual removing of transgressions or trespasses from the sinner, so that for all time and eternity his sins shall not again be upon him.

10. Identification-(see above, Justification) the great fact that those who are in Christ were united with Him at the Cross, by God’s sovereign inscrutable act; were crucified with Christ and buried with Him; so that their history is now ended before God; and when Christ was raised up as the First-born of the new creation, they also were raised up with Him, and their history began as new creatures in God’s sight, in Christ, the last Adam.

Of course, in the experience of the Christian, there comes a time when he is actually made partaker of this new life-that point of time when he is, as we say, saved, or converted, or born again, ect. Nevertheless, the life that is in every Christian came up out of the tomb, and it is in Christ Jesus that a man is created anew.

11. Incorporation. This tremendous doctrine Paul alone mentions, and he makes it practically the foundation of all his exhortations to the saints with regard to their conduct and life. By “incorporation” we mean the fact that all those who are really saved and are new creatures in Christ Jesus become members of one organism, which is more real than the very earth we tread upon called “the Body of Christ,”-Christ Himself in heaven being the Head of this Body, and every real Christian a member of it. So that believers are thus members of Christ in heaven, and also members one of another here on earth. No wonder Paul is able to exhort the saints to love one another when they are members one of another! (Rom. 12, I Cor. 12 and Eph. 4).

12. Inhabitation. The wonderful fact that the Body of Christ and each member of it individually is inhabited, indwelt, by the Holy Ghost Himself, and not only so, but that the Church is being “built together” as a great temple of God so that in the future God’s actual eternal dwelling place will be this wonderful, mysterious company built into a building called “a holy habitation of God in the Spirit.”

This mystery is a great and marvelous one, the fact that we are saved, are partakers now of the life of the Lord in glory, that the Holy Spirit indwells us.

13. Divine Exhibition-that is, that through the Church, in the ages to come, is to be made known that which God counts His “riches,” even His Grace (Eph. 2:7; 3:10).

The failure or refusal to discern the Pauline Gospel as a separate and new revelation and not a “development from Judaism,” accounts for two-thirds of the confusion in many people’s minds today as regards just what the Gospel is. Paul’s Gospel will suffer no admixture with works on the one hand or religious pretensions and performances on the other. It is as simple and clear as the sunlight from heaven. The end of man is where God begins in Romans 3, at what might be called the opening of the Pauline Revelation. Most unsaved people today believe in their hearts that the reason they are not saved is because of something they have not yet done, some step that remains for them to take before God will accept them. But this is absolutely untrue. When Christ said, “It is finished,” He meant that had, then and there, paid the debt for the whole human race. “He gave Himself a ransom for all” (I Tim. 2:6).

Now Paul in his wonderful revelation declares that God hath reconciled the world to Himself; that God was in Christ (at the Cross) reconciling the world unto Himself (II Cor. 5:19). Men do not know this, but they conceive that something stands between them and God, before God will accept or forgive them. If you tell a man that God is demanding no good works of him whatsoever, no religious observances or church ordinances, that God is not asking him to undertake any duties at all, but that God invites him to believe a glad message that his sins have already been dealt with at the Cross, and that God expects him to believe this good news and be exceedingly happy about it-if you tell an unsaved man such a story as this, he is astonished and overwhelmed-yet this is the Gospel!

Would that we had grace just as vigorously to defend his great message today, whether from its enemies or its real friends who do not see it clearly as yet; or who, like Peter (Gal. 2), through fear of others, are ready to compromise and tone down the Gospel of God.

REMEMBER: ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, THOSE WHO FOLLOW PAUL ARE FOLLOWING CHRIST!

Read here why the Jews are right! -- Anonymous, 22:21:59 12/29/01 Sat

Bs"d

Shalom dear readers,

Hereby I want to tell you about the one true God, and give you shocking facts and data that has been suppressed by the Christian church for 2000 years. This was done by, amongst other things, burning Bible translators on the stake, mass burnings of Bible translations and corrupting Bible translations.
But now the truth is out. Look here:

www.geocities.com/Metzad

Please send this message to every Christian & messianic Jew you know and/or post it on every message board you can find. One way of loving God is making Him known amongst the nations. One way of loving your fellow man is showing him the truth and revealing the falsehood he has been exposed to.

Eliyahu

You are a Christ hater that have done this for years! You go after Pro Jesus message boards with the intentions of planting a doctrine of demons! Colossians 3, 1st Peter 3, Hebrews 1,2 and 8 all says that Christ Jesus sits onthe right hand of God as his son and all must come to Him (Jesus) to get to God. Your ancestors (along with Gentiles) crucified Christ and said nothing against the Roman's pagan idols. You worshipped Baal in the Old Testament and now trying to exalt yourselves a high priest in place of Christ in the new! Your teachings are garbage!

PRAYER GATHERING! SPENING TIME WITH EACH OF THE THREE! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 15:58:18 10/30/01 Tue

It's now time for more instruction to strengthen our relationship with the Heavenly King! But this time, we must have three days devoted to each person of the Holy Trinity in order to get to know them in a more personal way!

Day 1 (11/2/01)

Devote a full day to Jesus. Actually EVERYDAY has to be devoted to Jesus! (Romans 8). But say aloud to Him that you want to get to know Christ even more. Get to know the purpose and power of his crucifixion and resurrection. Get to know how faith works, and recieve more wisdom and understanding.

Day 2 (11/3/01)

Devote a full day to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him out loud about His immaculate glory, what special gift could you possibly recieve from him (ist Corinthians 12) in order to do your part in strengthing the church, and help you become more passionate and obedient to God through Christ.

Day 3 (11/4/01)

Devote the final day to the king pin of the three who created them both. Ask Him out loud to allow you to see more of His holy power and presence, to have the same obedience of Jesus, to recieve the Holy Spirit in your life, and to know His voice without being decieved in any way.

The purpose for these three day instructions is to have an incresed, powerful, intimate understaning of the Hoily Trinity even better than a child spending time with their mother one day and the father the next. Getting to know them one on one will further your love, obedience, and understanding which we all need. If you notice these three days match the three days that Jesus was crucified and resurrected(Fri-Sun). As His glory strengthend for the sake of mankind, so will our love and obedience because our spirit died with Christ on the cross and a new being resurrected (Romans 6). So will our love, obedience, understanding, and blessings will resurrect in Jesus' name.

Another Prayer Gathering on 9/6/01! -- Anonymous, 18:27:59 09/05/01 Wed

It's time once again for a 15 minutes contact with the Price and King of Heaven as we are unified together! On 9/6/01 at 11pm, let us gather together in glorious praise to Christ the Lord, Father GOD, and the Holy Spirit. This time while gathering for 15 mins, whereever you are, sit quietly with both your hands lifted towards to ceiling. Ask GOD in Jesus' name to feel the same love, the same passion that He has for mankind through the crucifixion on Calvary. Close your eyes and vision Jesus being crucified for all mankind. For the ones that blaspheme His name, to the ones that are more than willing to die for Him. See His torment for us. In your thoughts, see the sky above the three crosses and imagine a giant sized hand brighter than snow covering the corss Jesus is nailed on. Then open your eyes an imagine a holy cross the color brighter than snow on the wall of the room where you are in this prayer gathering. Then imagine a bloddy rag that he wore while being crucified. See it rise up and coming into your hands. This is the symbol to inform us that we are next to carry the message of holiness. Just as Elijah
passed his cloak on to Elisha when he was carried off into Heaven (2nd Kings 2), we are given Jesus' bloddy rag to sperad to Gospel message and use the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Mark 16, ist Corinthians 12). Afterwards give Jesus the praise for sacrificing Himslef for us. Praise the Holy Spirit for giving us the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, healing, and other things. And especially give the praise to GOD for directing it all. After this make your prayers known and give additional praise afterwards.

Prayer Gathering 8/2/2001 (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 15:00:41 07/31/01 Tue

It's time once again for another prayer gathering summoned by Christ the Lord. It's just glorious to know that readers love this
15 min prayer and praise gatherings. On Thursday August 2nd 2001 at 10:45pm EST for only 15 mins, connect with me as we
make contact with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and of course GOD himself. This time, imagine yourself standing on pure white stairs
that's whiter than snow shining brightly. Inside each of the stairs are round shaped diamonds 2 inches in height and width being
blown about like lotto numbers inside a glass bowl. As you walk up each step, you're able to see to see the diamonds inside the
steps. When your feet are off the steps, the white light from them is too bright to see the diamonds. Around you is nothing else
but brightness. Above you is a bright, blue sky with white clouds. In front of you is a golden throne. Sitting in it is Jesus. Above
Jesus is a blaze of white fire standing 50 ft tall and 10 ft wide. This represents the presence of GOD. The cool wind blowing on
you represents the presence of the Holy Spirit. Flying above the white fire are seraphims (The highest ranking angels). They
have six wings. And in this image they are made like humans but in the image of light whiter than snow and shining brightly.
Take Jesus by the hand, kneel down, and make your praises and prayers to Him. Make the praise first. Jesus is the intercessor
to God (John 14, Romans 8, Hebrews 2). It's time to thank the Lord GOD instead of treating Him like an object (Matthew 6,
Romans 1). Be sure to praise GOD for His Word being extremely reliable, undefeated, and unfailing. For keeping you
sheltered and safe. For not allowing thing to get worse if you suffered a horrible event. Pray also for your enemies. People who
hurt you in any kind of way or are jealous of you. Pray that GOD bless them. This is for your own good in order to keep you
from falling in to evil GODless acts of any kind which will result in reaping a harvest of death (Matthew 5, ROmans 12, 2nd
Corinthians 2 and 11). Afterwards, let your requests be made known to GOd. Through Jesus, pray also for righteousness,
boldness, courage, happiness, protection, wisdom, knowledge, anointing, strength, endurance, forgiveness, and love. Pray to
have the same behavior as Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. After you make your praises and prayers, give Christ a hug
and even kiss Him on the cheek. Let Him know that you do love Him. Doing all of this will strengthen your faith having you to
grow into a better Christian.

Why Christ? -- Anonymous, 18:02:34 07/25/01 Wed

Jesus Christ is God's only cure for our sin. Through Him you can know God personally and
experience His love.


Jesus died in our place. "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8, NASV). Jesus rose from the dead. "...Christ died for our sins . .
. He was buried . . . He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures . . . He appeared to
Cephas [Peter], then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred . . ." (1 Cor.
15:3-6, NASV). Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6, NASV). God has done the work to bridge
the gap which cuts us off from Him. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to
pay the penalty for our sin. But it is not enough just to know these truths. We must take the next step .
. . and "cross the bridge."


We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know God
personally and experience His love.


We must receive Christ. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children
of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12, NASV). We receive Christ by personal
invitation. Thus, receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to
come into our lives to forgive our sins so that we can begin our personal relationship with Him. Just to
know in your mind that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not
enough. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will. Would you like to accept Jesus'
invitation to life? You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer. God knows your heart
and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. Millions of people all
around the world have already found new life in Christ. Here is a suggested prayer which can help you
express your trust in Jesus, too:



Dear Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on
the cross for my sins and for rising from the dead. I open the door of my
life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. I trust You now to forgive my
sins and give me eternal life. Please make me the kind of person You want
me to be.

PRAYER NIGHT! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 16:42:02 07/16/01 Mon

Once again it's time for another prayer gathering summoned by Christ the Lord. All that would like to join, it will be on Tuesday
night 7/17/01 at 11pm EST. This will last for only 15 minutes. Let's get together in the name of Jesus who's our contact for
release of bondage's and to give Him our thanks for His glory and Honor. Hebrews 10, Matthew 6,7 and Luke 18 reminds us
that they power of prayer is the power of reaction and solution. The power of releasing your stress, problems, and blessings for
one another to GOD. It is NOT a religious tradition of meaningless words but of help requests and thanksgiving. Want any of
your bondages removed? Looking for answers? What to give thanks? (just as important as praying for needs) Then connect
with me in prayer to GOD through Christ Jesus who will then send the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen out faith. During
this prayer night, GOD wants us to literally see ourselves standing on a golden platform with long golden, aztec style steps,
feeling the pleasant, cool wind underneath the sunny, blue, cloudy sky with the smells of soft perfumes in the air.

In the middle will be a golden altar with white fire coming from it. Fire represents the presence of GOD (exodus 13, Acts
12) Don't know why it's white. WHen imagining this, make your prayers and praises. Be sure to make your praises thanking
Him for things because things could be worse. If you have the blessings you wanted, you may not ever get anymore for refusing
to be thankful (1st Corinthians 8). In the sky, GOD wants you to imagine Jesus in your thought sitting on a golden throne. Why
do it like this? you might ask. I don't know. But since GOD sent Peter a vision of birds and reptiles coming from the four
corners of the earth (Acts 10), then you should know that this isn't in anyway more strange. You know how mysterious GOD
can be (1st Corinthians 3). But when this is done, watch a miraculous change to happen in your life for the better. In order to
get something you never had, you must do something you never done. It worked for Jesus healing the blind man with spit and
mud as well as the crippled man who had a hole torn in a roof of a house in order to get to Jesus due to the massive crowds.
But when you partake in the prayer gathering and you have to do it in faith (Matthew 13). Watch the spirit of gossip, lust,
vengeance, bitterness, jealousy, etc. diminish with the work of obedience (Romans 8, Galatians 5, James 2).
Obedience will cause GODlessness in your life to become weaker and weaker until eliminated. It maybe painful to let go
because of the demand of the flesh, but just as the cruxicixtion of Jesus was painful for Him. He reaped a harvest from the
blessings of His resurrection (Colassians 1). The main one being that we are now called GOD's children who are saved from
death, Hell, and the Grave (Acts 2). Since our old selves dies with Christ (Romans 6) we have to go through the pain of
crucifying our old selves in order to reap a harvest of blessings through the resurrection of our new selves. (2nd Corinthians 5).

To God be the Glory! -- Anonymous, 17:30:44 06/27/01 Wed

To God Be the Glory!

Christ supernaturally empowers our lives and enables us to do
good works. Then He rewards us for the works that He
Himself empowered in the first place! What a wonderful God
we serve!

When the twenty-four elders cast their crowns at Jesus' feet in
Revelation 4:9-10, they are simply giving credit where credit is
due. They are acknowledging, "Everything good in me comes
from You. Everything good I've ever done has come from
You." Constantly they acknowledge, "This reward should really
go to You."

If you receive great reward, your reward will bring continual
honor to Jesus Christ. On the other hand, if you go into heaven
with no reward, your life has brought no honor to Him at all.

Is It Selfish to Seek Reward?

At one point in my life I told the Lord, "I don’t want reward; I just
want to serve You." Like many Christians I was not motivated
at all by the verses about reward. I was not allowing those
scriptures to have their proper impact on my mind and heart. I
realize now that I suffered from a common misconception. I
thought it would be selfish to seek reward because I didn’t
understand what the reward is.

Those who are rich in heavenly treasure will not be sifting gold
coins through their fingers as they giggle uncontrollably. They
will be rich in God's pleasure. They will be able to enter into
the joy of their Master. They will enjoy wonderful intimacy with
God. They will be useful to Him forever. They will be able to
"take hold of the life which is life indeed" (I Timothy 6:19).

Is it wrong to seek these things? Obviously not. On the
contrary, Jesus commands it! He tells us to lay up treasures
for ourselves in heaven (Matthew 6:20). He urges us to
become "rich toward God" (Luke 12:21). It’s a healthy
ambition, a holy ambition. In fact it’s an ambition that frees us
from selfishness because it trains us to seek the pleasure and
glory of God.

If we never think about reward or if we hold the false notion
that all will get the same reward in heaven, we will lack
motivation God intended us to have.

How many Christians do you know who seek to please God
with as much diligence and intensity as an Olympic athlete
seeking a gold medal? What would happen to Christianity if
Christians came to believe that the rewards God wants to give
us have value exceeding that of an Olympic gold medal by a
million fold? That's not an over-exaggeration; that's an
under-exaggeration.

The one thing that will provide us with the motivation we need
is the truth. If we simply believed the truth about what is at
stake, we would be more motivated than the most motivated
Olympic champion.

Paul expresses his yearning that we would understand this
truth in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25:

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only
one gets the prize? Run in such a way that you will get the
prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict
training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; we do it to
get a crown that will last forever."

Paul likely had the Isthmian games in mind when he wrote the
passage above. The Isthmian games of the Greek peninsula
were a forerunner of our modern Olympic games. The umpire
of the games presided from a raised platform called the
"judgment seat." From there he watched the events, and
from there he ultimately rewarded the winners.

Question? -- Anonymous, 18:37:32 05/29/01 Tue

If God forgives me everytime I ask, why do I still
feel so guilty?







(Letter)

I desperately need your help with a problem. I was saved
four years ago, and I've tried to live a Christian life. I have
messed up a lot, but every time I've asked God to forgive
me. And then I'm happy again because I know He
forgives.

But here lately it seems like I'm constantly feeling guilty
about things I've done. I've even started feeling guilty about
things I'm not even sure if I've done. I've asked God to
forgive me if I did do something wrong, but I still feel guilty.
I want the joy back that I first experienced when I first
became a Christian. Why do I feel guilty?

-Jennifer


You are being honest about a difficult subject, Jennifer. I talk to
thousands of students, and I know many of them feel the same way you
are feeling. Your openness can help them.

You understand what guilt is, but I don't believe you fully grasp the
greatness of God's forgiveness. I want you to understand that when you
accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, God promised that He would never
stop forgiving you, no matter what you do wrong.

But don't take my word. Look at God's words in 1 John 1:7, "But if we
walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

That means God continues to purify us even while we are trying, as you
are, to live the Christian life. He does that through the blood of Jesus
Christ, the blood which saved you forever four years ago.

But you must also remember, Jennifer, that while God wants you to know
you are forgiven, Satan wants you to feel guilty. Satan, the prince of
darkness, knows your feelings of guilt keep you (in your mind) separated
from God.

The Book of Revelation calls Satan the deceiver of the whole world. And
in Revelation 12:10, he is called the "accuser of our brothers." However,
while Satan tries to accuse you and make you feel guilty, God declares
that you are as pure as Jesus Christ. God said that we are completely
forgiven because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins when He died on the
cross.

"He has done this through the death on the cross of His own human body,
and now as a result Christ has brought you into the very presence of God,
and you are standing before Him with nothing left against you--nothing left
that He could even chide you for" (Col 1:22, TLB). So you see, God has
done a truly awesome thing. Because you have believed in Christ and
accepted what He did for you, God sees you as completely pure and holy,
without any faults. And finally, Jennifer, I sense that a lot of what you
believe about yourself and about God is based on your feelings are easily
changed. The weather can affect your feelings.

But nothing can change the facts in God's Word. And there is where you
have to put you faith--in the facts revealed in the Bible and not in your
feelings.

So when you have feelings of guilt when there's no basis for that guilt, go
back to the facts. Those facts tell you that you are loved by God,
completely pure and holy through Jesus Christ and constantly cleansed by
the Heavenly Father. Bank on those facts, Jennifer.
