Get The Real Heal Deal 

NOVEMBER 13 & 14, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Ezekiel 13:3  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    You can hardly turn on the TV anymore without seeing some so-called TV Evangelist giving other real preachers a bad name. Why would I make such a claim? Well, it is because they often are claiming they have received extra revelations that are not in scripture. It is by claiming to have a word from God on someone’s healing. I never saw people in the Bible with telepathic revelations on others healing miles away. Jesus was the only one who knew the beginning from the end and could do so.

    I turned TV on the other day and there was a man begging for money, (like this surprises you, right…) with a table full of pieces of paper. There were hundreds of slips of paper where people had called in with a deep need, pledging “x” amount of dollars expecting a miracle from their so-called seed pledge. This TV charlatan said, “In a moment I will be laying my hands on this pile of prayer requests, and I hear in my spirit, (small “s” on purpose,) when I pray that millions of people are going to be healed all over the world.” Right behind the man making this claim was a large plate-glass window. Behind the window were operators on phone, taking prayer pledges. In the front row of these operators was a young woman answering phones with a huge white neck brace. If this man can heal people all over the world, why did he not heal the woman right behind him working for him? The reason is simple, he cannot heal people. Nor can I, or anyone else. God can, and still does heal and He never charged a person one dime to do so. Their faith was not tied to their pocketbooks. “Woe unto the foolish prophets…” When a man stands to preach the Word, make sure he is preaching God’s Word, not his own.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    People want to believe in something so badly they will often believe a lie. Do not fall for the fakes, fall in front of the Father. If you need healing don’t go to a coliseum, go to Christ. He still does heal people. In His time, in His way and by His will He still works wonders in the lives of His own. Put your faith in Him. Get the Real Heal Deal.

Guaranteed 

NOVEMBER 12, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

  When I was younger, when I would see the word “GUARANTEED” on things I thought, “Well this will be good forever, it is guaranteed.” Why in the world would they guarantee something if it would break? That just did not make sense to me.

  However, as I grew older, I learned a few things about Guarantees. One of those things was the Guarantee was only as good as the company who made the claim. As a young boy, I believed that every big company which had enough money to make something would just be there forever in case anything went wrong with their product. Oh, the innocence of childhood. As I have grown older, and I guess a little wiser, now I know that not all companies are reputable and not every person is trustworthy. Sadly, this colors the decisions that all adults must make. So how do I make big decisions now? If the guarantee matters, then I look at the manufacturer to see how long they have been in business. I try to find out if the products they have made have had problems. Did they take care of the problems if they did? I just want to know a little about who is making this GUARANTEE.

  God’s Guarantees meet all those criteria. One thing we can rely on is that God has been around for a long time, (a very long time). God has always taken care of the products He has made, (Us). He has a great retirement program that has never been beaten, (Heaven). He is as stable as anything anyone can think of, (and better). In our verse today, it says, “He hath given meat unto them that fear Him.” This simply means He has provided for those who have given themselves to Him to love and serve Him. “He will ever be mindful of his covenant,” says He will never break a promise. This means His Guarantees are absolutely solid. You can trust them forever.   

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  In a world that seems mixed up on values and promises, it is good to know at least one thing is still always true. The Word of God has never been proven wrong. Never! Why, because it is never wrong. You can rely on God and His word. This my friends is GUARANTEED.

God Keeps His Promises  

NOVEMBER 11, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Ezekiel 9:9-10 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

  People in general never change. We may change in our outward appearance a bit. Our lifestyles might change some. However, over all people never really change. Adam and Eve started it all when they thought, “God won’t care if we eat just one bite… It is such a little sin. Surely He won’t be too mad.” Do you remember the attitude of the people of Noah’s time? They may have said, “A flood, rain, what is rain? God is not that mad at us Noah. Just look around you and see. He has not punished us yet, has He? Just leave us alone.” Then there were the Children of Israel spoken of in today’s verses saying in essence “God is not coming back. He has forsaken us. We have everything we need without Him. He is not even watching. Ezekiel, get a life.”

    Still today, after all the evidence of the accuracy of God’s promises, still people say, “I have never seen Jesus in the sky so why should I believe that it will happen today?” They may not say it with their mouth, but with their lives people say, “Really? My grandparents believed He was coming, my parents believed it too and they have died, and He still did not come back. Preacher quit bothering us with this legalistic garbage of not sinning. God does not care about our little sins. He only cares about the big ones that I have not committed. Will you please leave us alone?”

   However just as with all those in the past who did not believe and mocked His coming and His judgment, there is still a price to pay for sin. His promises are sure. He shall return in the twinkling of an eye. Where will you be found on that day?

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  God’s Word says He will not be mocked. You cannot live a sinful life that makes a mockery of Christ’s death for that sin and still expect His blessings. If you do not care about His blessings, then you probably do not know Him. For me to live is CHRIST.

Do You Feel Safe?

NOVEMBER 10, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    JAILED! INCARCERATED! IMPRISONED! LOCKED AWAY! All these words sound scary to most of us. The idea of being put somewhere, the doors locked, and never being able to get out, sounds way too restrictive. Most people just want to be free. Free to roam around and do what they will. Now if I use words like, SAFETY, PROTECTION, SECURITY, or PROVIDED FOR these words all sound good to us. Why? It gives us a sense of peace and happiness to know we are safe and taken care of. Guess what? People in jail are, for the most part, safe, protected, secure, and provided for. So, what makes the difference?

    Jail and Prison are somewhere we are placed usually against our will. We do not choose to go there. We are placed there because we have violated others’ rights. However, if there was a riot in the streets and an abandon prison building really close, you might choose to go there for a time to escape the riot. You would be safe inside its walls.

    In the past, villages would build walls around their city to keep out attackers. People today put in security systems, build fences, etc., just to feel safe. These are all just bigger borders we voluntarily place ourselves in for protection. We live in houses with locks, in cities with Police, in a State with a National Guard, and a nation with a military that protects us. We are free in the boundaries of our voluntary borders. Leave the country and you are warned when you go, “You go at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee your safety out there.” In our verse today, we can find safety in one word. The word is “IN.” Those who are IN Christ Jesus, you are safe, secure, protected, and provided for because you voluntarily placed yourself in Him.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Once you place yourself IN Him you are eternally safe. You can never leave Him. In case you forgot, He is everywhere, so where would you go? On the other hand, maybe you think you might be strong enough to break free from His hold. OOPS! That won’t happen either. Cause you are NOT THAT STRONG. You are safe IN JESUS!

Live Long And Prosper

NOVEMBER 09, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 9:10-11 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    I remember as a young boy watching a TV Science Fiction show, where one of the characters would often say, “Live Long and Prosper Captain.” It seemed like every time he would walk away to be beamed somewhere or to be separated for an extended time, he would say those words. What did he mean? “Live Long…” How does a person go about doing so? How do you live long? What is long? Is it 30 years, 50 Years, 100 years, or 200 Years? What would be considered long? So, If I were to walk up to you and say Live Long! What would go through your mind? Then there is, “And Prosper…” Prosper at what? Prosper in your job, your status in the community, wealth. What does it really mean to prosper?

    Well, I do not have all the answers to all the questions that may be running through your mind right now. However, I can offer this. Our verses today say the beginning of wisdom is to fear, or reverence, the Lord. If you really want to have the wisdom it takes to survive in today’s world, you need to know Jesus. Why? Well, because He is Omniscient. That means He is ALL KNOWING. Need an answer? Ask someone who is All Knowing. He should have an answer. Today’s verses go on to say by doing so you will live longer. Your days shall be multiplied and the years of your life increased. How long will that be? We do not know. Nevertheless, it is a promise most people would want to have. Most people want a good long prosperous life. One that is as long as it can possibly be. So then, it stands to reason that with God on our side we may, “Live Long and Prosper.”

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    You may be wondering how living day by day as God leads is a prosperous life. Well, if you are in communication constantly with someone who knows all the answers to every question which ever was or will be, don’t you think this is sort of like “Insider Trading?” You have an inside track on a life that will glorify and please God who is the giver of all good gifts. Even though sometimes God might say in essence, “You don’t need to know today.” Even that is the right answer. To Know God is To Know Peace.
