Walk with the Lord.

by Allan Jones on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 7:29am ·

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 The same was in the beginning with God.3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth....I have thoughts on this.The word was with God,the word was God.I Love this,the word  being God.Men were and have become dark,they have become lovers of themselves as foretold they will become.John writing this sees that to become more of God we need to renew our minds:
Ephesians 4:23 KJV
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;Ever asked just how do I do this?How can I renew my mind daily?Wake up,pray to God ask him to help you in this,read THE WORD...Next clean your heart.How do I clean my heart?:
Psalm 51:10 KJV
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.Seems that these two go hand in hand.I have heard that the mind will receive,it will process,it will rationalize,it will compromise,it will help you talk your self out of a sure blessing if you let it.So we renew our minds,we ask God to create a CLEAN HEART.Purrge your hearts unto God,repent,have a sin in your life?Get rid of it,it will cloud your mind,it will ''clutter'' your heart.Starting ones day with God's word will help us all,it will renew our minds it will clean our heart(s)it will help us to become more of the word.I have asked this,just a thought.Above it says the word became flesh and dwelt among us.Now,what if we are to become the word and dwell among God.Being in the word will help one here,reading medidtating on his word will help us here,not religion,not being the ''teacher''or serving so much you have placed yourself so thin that you fall ill.But just slowing down reading what God wants you to do.Do we walk with Jesus daily?or have we placed him in the box..So we have trouble we crank up the ''God in the Box''
We cannot  be like this,God is not like that with us is he?I say we get back to basics in the following:Read the word,become more like God,worship God,we do not have to be in church to worship God.I am not saying do not go to  church for we are not to forsake the assembly of others.Bur we are to praise him.In all things God's word says we are to do.Having a bad day?praise him,having a great day,praise him,having just an average day?PRAISE HIM.Sing a song to God.I have heard this that a small pebble or grain of sand can stop up a cog and make a machine stop.The devil giving you a fitful day?Sing the most simplest of songs and see what hjappens.We all know it''Jesus loves me this I know,for the bible tells me so..''It works,resist the devil and he will flee form you.Read the word,call the enemy out,don't be afraid of what he thinks he can do,remind him of what GOD can do,what GOD will do,what GOD has done.So again I ask,if we become more of the WORD will we be walking more with GOD?Yes we will I have heard it explained this way.Less Bible less God,More bible MORE GOD.Father in heaven we have seen that we are to become more of your word,more like you you have said we are to be Holy for you are Holy,help us Lord,that we will become more like you,more with you,father we fail on a daily basis we try we stumble,we try to be better,open our minds and eye to see,open our hearts that we will plant your word deep down,placed in our hearts were it will grow,help us to make our lives clutter free.Make our minds re newed,father we praise you for your word,we thank you for your word,we thank you Lord Jesus for carrying all our sins to the cross,and shedding your blood that we may be made clean'God in heave I praise you for today,let us all be in praise,prayer,may we all lift each other up today Lord Jesus,we thank you for all your blessings great and small.Amen

***SALVATION***by Allan Jones****

Salvation.

Romans10: 8  But what does it say? The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach, 9  Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.10  For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.11  The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. 12  [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].13  For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.

Can everyone remember the day you were saved?Born again?Came to Jesus,what one calls it will always be called SALVATION.Salvation is a free gift.No contracts,no long drawn out sayings,just meeting Jesus and God at thye cross to receive a paid debt we could never in a thousand lifetimes pay for.We have seen many folks with the excitment of child at Christmas,and we get saved we all have the same,fire in the belly we want the world to be saved,and yet so many will refuse God,refuse the free gift of salvation,why?A bad experience,an unanswered prayer,can you count how many unanswered prayers you have had?My take on this but God always answers prayer(s)yes,no,or he has not answered because the timing is not for you yet.God knows that  many will choose the world over being with him for eternity.They say why would why?they say that we will be just servants.Let me ask you this,What do you have to lose?What does this earth have that is worth spending eternity in outter darkness?So many testimonies of those that have passed on and returned,scientists all have a rebuttle about it.''The mind does this,and that,and yet more and more are happening,God is trying to let many know that he is real,salvation is real,the devil is real.Heaven is a real and live and living place.Hell is for real.The weeping and knashing of teeth,outer darkness,alone away from God and his love.God loves us in a way we cannot even begin to fathom.So if you are saved,this is for you to pass alopng to those you may know that are not.If you are not saved,then this is for you.God gives you a choice.always,a choice,man was given a choice in all things,he chose to eat the apple along with Eve,he chooses sin more times than not,but we have a advocate his name is above all names HIS NAME IS JESUS.You can pray for salvation in any time place,but do it before it is too late.No one is promised tomorrow.Father in heaven as we see in your word we see that salvation is for everyone,we se that we can be set free from the sin that keeps us from you,and yet many will refuse you,we ask that we all can be a true witness to and for you,we pray that we can lead others father we have so much to learn in these last days,I ask for wisdom for all reading this today,and if one does not know you,then I ask you to oen their hearts and minds to you.We praise you Lord we thank you Lord,I praise your Holy Name..Jesus..Amen

**ACTION** by my friend Allan Jones**

Action..

Acts 4:13,  13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.21 So whenthey had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.            

I ask you,in reading this what do you see?Can you see the men,ordinary,common,tradesmen,and yet the baffled the educated,scholars,teachers,and elders of the time.I ask you again,what do you see?I God working thruogh them,I see God using whom he can to get the word out.It seems that even in these days of old the threat of Jesus name has these men scared,and today they are still acting the same way.Jesus said that in the last days we will be hated for his name's sake,he said we will be taken to the courts for trials for his name.These apostles all stood there ground for what they believed in.Why is it today we have not aspired to be like them?Full of the Holy Spirit,full of wisdom from God,asking for nothing,only the ability to preach,and teach the gosple.If we as believers all gathered as they did,prayed as they did,the same spirit of God would move in ways that we cannot even begin to imagine.Healings of the greatest kind,hospitals emptied,lame walking,dead raised,I ask you is it possible today we could have this?Yes it is.There are revival reports.1)The Welsh Revival 1904 - 1905,is the most noted,google it,read about it,we can have the same kind of revival this day in time,only greater.I have this''nudging''to keep praying for it,to keep asking God for the wisdom in this,I just know we all can get back to the basics of our lives,we have to stop''wanting''and start working,stop wishing and start believing,stop talking and start listening,stop watching and start doing..God in heaven will help us when we let him,he never forces him self on us,he never forces his will on us,but when we surrender it all to him,we ask him to run our lives,run our businesses,run our homes,we place God at the head of our house,we will see happenings in our lives that even the devil will run for cover.Father in heaven,I ask you today to open our hearts to the fact that we need you now more than ever,we need your wisdom in this fast changing world,we need your love in our hearts for all to see,we need your peace about us that we can calm the storms that seem to try to slow us down.Father at times our faith will waiver,at times our love may go cold,at times we know we seem to be alone I ask you today for allof us reading and praying here today,open our minds to wisdom,open our hearts to love that only you can give.We praise you Lord,for helping us,healing us,watching over us today,we praise you for it.Father we just thank you for today,for your wisdom your word,your taking our place on the cross.Amen
