MASSACRE

WHAT IS A MASSACRE? KILLING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT? ANNIHILATING EVERYTHING? THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS WITH A CHRISTIAN AGAINST SATAN. WE ARE TO ANNIHILATE EVERY SIN. TEMPTATION IS NOT TO BE AN ISSUE FOR A CHRISTIAN. ONCE YOU'VE DECIDED TO FOLLOW AFTER JESUS, YOU CAN'T GO AHEAD AND ALLOW ONE SECOND FOR A TEMPTING THOUGHT. (ROM. 6:1)

HURRY 2014

HURRY-HURRY-HURRY!-LIFE IS ONE BIG HURRY. HURRY TO GET DRESSED CAUSE YOU'RE LATE FOR WORK. CAN'T HAVE TIME TO EAT BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU'RE LATE FOR WORK. DON'T HAVE TIME TO PRAY 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN A HURRY. STOP RIGHT THERE! NO TIME FOR PRAYER. OH NO!!! THAT IS ONE THING THERE IS TO ALWAYS BE TIME FOR - PRAYER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIT IN YOUR PRAYER CLOSET WITH SACKCLOTH AND ASHES AFTER FASTING ALL DAY. ALL PRAYER REQUIRES IS A RIGHT HEART AND A QUICK THOUGHT ABOUT GOD. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SPEAK THE WORDS, ONLY THINK THEM AND GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYER. PLEASE PEOPLE - PRAY ON!

YESTERDAY

WHAT DOES YESTERDAY HOLD? MEMORIES. IT HAS NO POWER. THERE IS NO ACTION IN A YESTERDAY. THE ONLY THING HAPPENING IS THE PRESENT. WANT TO MAKE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE? DON'T HOLD ON TO A YESTERDAY. WANT TO GO FORWARD AND REACH A GOAL? DON'T HAVE A "LAST TIME I DID THIS..." WANT TO GET AHEAD WITH GOD? DON'T HOLD ON TO THE PAST. WANT TO FEEL REAL POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? DON'T HOLD ON TO ANYTHING BUT GOD. NO PAST. NO MEMORIES. NO YESTERDAY.

IGNITE

ARE YOU ON FIRE FOR GOD? WHAT ABOUT HAVING AN EARNEST ZEAL FOR HIM? THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. AN EARNEST ZEAL IS BETTER FOR IT HAS ENDURANCE IN THE HEART OF ITS' MEANING. BEING ON FIRE IS DIFFERENT FOR THE FIRE CAN GO OUT.

WHAT IS TODAY?

WHAT IS TODAY?-IT'S NOT A TUESDAY OR A WEDNESDAY. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE. THERE'S ONLY RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHY NOW IS A REALITY. IT IS THE PRECIOUS PRESENT. THIS MOMENT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT YOU DO RIGHT NOW CAN AFFECT THE FUTURE, BUT IT CAN'T AFFECT THE PAST. WATCH - WAIT - DID YOU SEE IT? THAT LAST SECOND JUST WENT BY. IT'S GONE. YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. IT'S GONE FOR GOOD. IT'S NO MORE. THAT LAST SECOND IS GONE FOREVER. IT CAN'T EVER BE REPLACED. YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND HOW IT CAN AFFECT THE FUTURE.

TRAVELING 2014

HELLO INTERNET READERS-I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POST ON A REGULAR BASIS DUE TO NO ACCESS OF THE INTERNET=TRAVELING. DON'T THINK I'LL FORGET YOU. YOU'LL STILL BE IN MY PRAYERS.

SPELLING

HOW DO YOU SPELL LOVE? IS IT A HOT SHOWER ON A COLD MORNING? OR A BOWL OF ICE CREAM ON A HOT DAY? HOW ABOUT A HUG FROM A LOVED ONE? I SPELL IT JESUS!

KING JESUS

WHAT DOES JESUS WANT FROM YOU? YOUR HEART. THAT'S ALL HE ASKS FOR - YOUR LOVE. JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. HE DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING, ANYONE. ALL JESUS WANTS IS LOVE.

MASQUERADE

HAVE YOU BEEN TO A MASUERADE BALL? THAT'S WHAT WALKING DOWN THE STREET IS LIKE IN GODS' EYES. THE WORLDLY HAVE THEIR VARIOUS COSTUMES ON DISPLAY WITH ALL THEIR SINS. SELAH!

SAVED

WHAT IS TODAY? IT'S THE DAY AFTER EASTER. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EVERYONE IS SAVED WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS THE SON OF GOD. THE RESURRECTION IS PROOF OF WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE.

RISEN 2014

ALLELUIA - HE HAS RISEN INDEED!

3 QUESTIONS

I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR ALL GENTLE READERS AFTER THIS SESSION OF POSTS REGARDING EASTERN V.S. WESTERN HEMISPHERE THEOLOGIES. ARE YOU READY FOR EASTER? IS YOUR HEART BURNING WITH A NEW LOVE FOR GOD? DO YOU HAVE A NEW RESPECT FOR THE BIBLE? I HOPE YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO ALL THREE QUESTIONS. MAY YOU GO CELEBRATE THE RISEN LORD IN A WAY THAT HONORS HIM.

FEAR AND TREMBLING

A CHRISTIAN IS TO PUT GOD FIRST IN EVERYTHING. THEY HAVE TO BE ON GUARD FOR THEIR SALVATION AT ALL TIMES. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS TO WORK OUT YOUR SALVATIONS WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. FEAR CAN BE INTERACTED WITH THE WORD "REVERENCE." MAINTAIN A STRONG REVERENCE FOR GOD, THEN IT'LL BE EASY TO KEEP YOUR SALVATION. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS IN PROVERBS "THE REVERENCT WORSHPFUL RESPECT OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF LIFE." RESPECT GOD AND HAVE A REVERENCE FOR GOING TO HEAVEN AT ALL TIMES. THAT WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF LIFE, NOT JUST HERE ON EARTH BUT ETERNALLY.

TWO REALMS

I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE RIGHT OR WRONG. I AGREE THERE ARE TWO REALMS SHOWN IN THE BIBLE, THE REST IS UP TO GOD. IF I STARTED AGREEING WITH EVERY THING THAT SOUNDED GOOD ABOUT THE U.S. I COULD FALL PREY TO THE SAME LIE SATAN HAS SENT TO ALL OF THESE LOST SOULS. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING SOUNDS NICE ABOUT THE U.S., DOESN'T MAKE IT ALL TRUE. IT'S ALL UP TO THE WORD OF GOD. CHECK EVERY THOUGHT TO THE GREAT PLUM LINE=THE BIBLE.

EASTERN V.S. WESTERN HEMISPHERE

I REALIZE EASTER IS SIMILAR TO CHRISTMAS AND MAY NOT BE THE ACCURATE DATE OF THE EVENT. I'D RATHER BE ON THE MORE RIGHT SIDE THAN THE MORE WRONG SIDE. ATLEAST THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS ACCURATE IN WHAT'S A HE AND SHE ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. AND - THE U.S. IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD STARTED TO WORSHIP JESUS. THAT MEANS THE U.S. HAS AN ADVANTAGE. GOD MAY BE PARTIAL TO THE U.S. SINCE IT WAS DEDICATED TO YAHWEH AT THE BEGINNING. I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY AS THERE ARE TWO REALMS IN THE BIBLE, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL; THE U.S. IS ISRAEL IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM.

PATRONIZE JESUS

THIS IDEAL OF PRAYING TO THE SAINTS IS IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH AS WELL. THESE RELIGIONS ARE VERY OLD. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME DOESN'T MAKE THEM RIGHT. THE WORD OF GOD IS WHAT IS USED IN DETERMINING WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG. THEY GO AGAINST THE BIBLE IN CERTAIN AREAS AND ARE FLAWED IN THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM. THAT MEANS ALL THESE WONDERFUL ARTISTS WHO WANTED TO DO A "WORK FOR GOD" ARE ALL LOST. WHAT THEY DREW MAY BE ACCURATE OR IT MAY NOT BE CORRECT ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD. (IF THEY'VE HEARD FROM THE WRONG SPIRIT ON HOW TO PRAY, THEY MAY BE LISTENING TO THE WRONG SPIRIT IN OTHER AREAS.) THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN A CHRISTIAN LOOKS AT THESE PAINTINGS, ETC. THEY CAN LOOK AND SEE IF IT'S ACCURATE TO THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN YOU PATRONIZE THESE LOST SOULS, YOU PATRONIZE THE OTHER GOD. I WANT TO PATRONIZE THE TRUE JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, AT EASTER AND EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. HOW ABOUT YOU?

FLAWED ARTWORK

IT'S THE SAME THEORY FOR SEEING THE WONDERFUL ARTWORK FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO. THESE WONDERFUL PAINTERS AND SCULPTURES ARE ALL LOST SOULS. THEIR WORK, EVEN WHEN WANTING TO GLORIFY GOD, WAS FOR A FALSE GOD NOT THE TRUE GOD. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE WERE CATHOLIC, AND THEY'RE NOT CHRISTIAN. THESE ARTISTS WERE LISTENING TO THE WRONG SPIRIT ABOUT HOW TO PRAY TO GOD AND USE THE SAINTS. THERE ARE OTHER FLAWS IN THE CATHOLIC FAITH, BUT THAT'S THE MOST OBVIOUS ERROR. EVERYONE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PRAYS TO THE SAINTS AND LIGHTS CANDLES TO THEIR ADVOCATE.

EASTER LOGIC

MY REASON FOR DETERMINING THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS RIGHT REGARDING WHEN TO CELEBRATE COMES FROM THIS THEORY. THE BIBLE TEACHES IN PROVERBS 31 IT'S THE WOMAN WHO LOOKS AFTER THE CHILDREN, THAT MEANS SHE'S THE FEMALE. IN EUROPE THEY GO OPPOSITE FROM THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IN WHAT TO CALL A SHE AND HE. IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE A SHE IS A FEMALE. I'VE HEARD MANY PEOPLE CALL A "SHE" A "HE" DURING MY EUROPEAN TRAVELS. I'VE BEEN IN EUROPE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND REALIZE IT'S NOT A LANGUAGE BARRIER, IT'S THEIR CULTURE. AS EUROPE IS GOING AWAY FROM THE WORD OF GOD ON WHAT TO CALL A HE AND SHE, THEY MAY BE HEARING A WRONG VOICE IN THE SPIRIT REGARDING MANY OTHER AREAS; SUCH AS DETERMINING WHEN EASTER IS TO BE CELEBRATED. THUS, I'LL CELEBRATE THE AMERICN WAY AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DON'T HATE EUROPE, THEY JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING. AS A CHRISTIAN I AM OBLIGATED TO GOING WITH THE BIBLE FIRST - NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. THE WORD OF GOD IS INERRANT, MANKIND HAS THE FLAW WHEN THERE'S A DISAGREEMENT.

EASTER OVERSEAS

I'M SO AMERICAN, WHEN THE HOLY DAYS COME AROUND I CELEBRATE THE AMERICAN WAY. EASTER IS CELEBRATED DIFFERENTLY IN AMERICA THAN IN EUROPE. THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE HAS ONE WAY TO FIGURE OUT THE DATE FOR EASTER, THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE HAS ANOTHER WAY. I CHOOSE THE AMERICAN DAY TO CELEBRATE EASTER AND NOT THE DATE THE EUROPEANS HAVE DECIDED IS A HOLY DAY. WHO'S RIGHT? THAT'S UP TO GOD. ACCORDING TO ICOR. 13 I'LL KNOW WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN.

AMERICAN 2014

I'M AN AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT. I'M PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN ON THE 4TH OF JULY, ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND ANY DAY. OVERSEAS WHEN INDIVIDUALS WANT TO GIVE ME SOME FRICTION MY LIFESTYLE, I RESPOND QUICKLY. "I'M AN AMERICAN. I COME FROM THE RICHEST, MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. WHY SHOULD I CONFORM TO YOUR LIFESTYLE AND PUT MYSELF DOWN?" THEY BECOME SILENT BECUASE I'VE STATED THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

NIGH

NIGH-EASTER IS DRAWING NIGH. JESUS USED THE PHRASE "DRAWING NIGH." AND WHEN THESE THING START TO TAKE PLACE,...YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH. LUKE 21:28 LET ME SEE, ISN'T THAT'S WHAT EASTER IS ALL ABOUT - REDEMPTION.

DOVER-ADMIRAL HARVEY

DOVER-ADMIRAL HARVEY IN ENGLAND ADMIRAL HARVEY IS FAMOUS AND THERE"S A PUB NAMED AFTER HIM. I HAVE FOUND DOVER LIKES TO HONOR PEOPLE BY NAMING A PUB AFTER THEM. PERHAPS THAT'S WHY THE CITY IS SO LOVELY. THEY EARNESTLY WANT TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE. THAT'S CALLED SHOWING THE LOVE OF JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. THE PEOPLE AT THE PUB WERE NICE AND SAID THEY'D BE WATCHING THE INTERNET FOR THEIR POST. "HELLO" TO EVERYONE AT THE ADMIRAL. THE PICTURE OF YOUR SIGN GOT LOST. SORRY! BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE WARM HEARTED GREETING I RECEIVED AT THE PUB. I SAY FAREWELL TO DOVER WITH THIS POST.

DOVER-ROMAN QUAY

DOVER-ROMAN QUAY I HAD TO STOP BY A PUB AND INVESTIGATE THE MEANING OF THEIR NAME. THE PEOPLE INSIDE TOLD ME HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO THAT PARTICULAR PART OF DOVER WAS UNDER WATER. THE AREA, AT THAT TIME, WAS CALLED THE ROMAN QUAY. (US AMERICANS WOULD SAY "KEY" FOR "QUAY.") IN THE STATES THERE IS THE FLORIDA KEYS, THE 3RD LONGEST KEY IN ALL THE WORLD WITH A SPECTACULAR CORAL REEF. I KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT. THAT AREA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR PEOPLE LIKE JIMMY BUFFETT, ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND TRUMAN CAPOTE HANGING AROUND.

DOVER-JOSEPH ARIMATHEA

SCHOLARS BELIEVE IS. 53:9 PROPHECY WAS FULFILLED BY JOSEPH ARIMATHEA GIVING JESUS HIS TOMB. SOME BELIEVE JESEPH WAS JESUS' UNCLE ON MARYS' SIDE AND MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE 70 SENT OUT ACCORDING TO LUKE 10. FOR JOSEPH TO HAVE ASKED FOR JESUS' BODY AS HIS UNCLE FALLS IN LINE WITH JEWISH TRADITION. HISTORIANS HAVE MENTIONED JOSEPH IN VARIOUS HISTORICAL RECORDS DATING BACK TO 125-189 (BY IRENAEUS) AND HAVE CONSIDERED HIM AS THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THE HOLY GRAIL. SOME SCHOLARS BELIEVE JOSEPH, A TIN MERCHANT, TOOK JESUS WITH HIM AS A TEENAGER TO ENGLAND. CORNWALL WAS KNOWN FOR ITS' TIN; AND THERE JOSEPH TAUGHT JESUS HOT TO EXTRACT THE TIN FROM THE WOLFRAM. LOOKING AT A MAP OF THE OLD ROUTES TAKEN FROM ISRAEL TO ENGLAND, JOSEPH AND JESUS MAY NOT HAVE TRAVELED THRU DOVER TO REACH GLASTONBURY. THE CHURCH IN GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN BUILT BY THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST AKA JOSEPH ARIMATHEA/PHILLIP, THE APOSTLE. IN A PREVIOUS POST (12/13) WHILE IN MARSEILLE, FRANCE, GOD HAD ME MENTION PHILLIP HAD COMMISSIONED JOSEPH TO ENGLAND. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN JOSEPH DID TRAVEL ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. (DOVER IS CONSIDERED IN THE AREA OF THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.) THE AFOREMENTIONED INFORMATION IS NOT IN THE BIBLE AND CAN BE CONSIDERED A BIBLE LEGEND. ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE, ALL OF THIS WILL BE EXPOSED WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN. BETWEEN NOW AND THEN I DON'T SAY YEA OR NAY TO WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA. I GIVE IT TO GOD AND WAIT UNTIL THE RAPTURE.

MORE ABOUT DOVER

MORE ABOUT DOVER-I SPOKE TO AN UNOFFICIAL DOVER HISTORIAN THE OTHER DAY. SHE HAS LIVED IN DOVER ALL HER LIFE AND COMES FROM "GENERATIONS" OF DOVER CITYFOLK. THAT'S HER IN THE TOP PICTURE. THE LOWER PICTURE IS HER GREAT GRANDAUGHTER WAVING "HI!" TO EVERYONE. SHE INFORMED ME ABOUT THE PRINCE ALBERT PUB BEING MADE ON MIDEVIL BURIAL GROUNDS AND BEGGIN STREET WAS CALLED BEKYN STREET AROUND 1286. A CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PRINCE ALBERT PUB HAD THE TEMPLAR KNIGHTS VISIT DURING THEIR DAY. AND TO TOP IT OFF, LAZARUS WITH HIS TWO SISTERS (MARY AND MARTHA) ALONG WITH JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA CAME ACROSS THE CHANNEL FROM MARSEILLE, FRANCE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL IN ENGLAND. THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT ME TO DOVER.

DOVER-HAIR CUT

I WENT WALKING YESTERDAY IN THE CITY OF DOVER LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR SITE. WHEN I STOPPED TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS AT A BEAUTY SHOP, I MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS. WE HAD A NICE CHAT AND DURING THE CONVERSATION THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A FREE HAIRCUT. ALLELUIA! TRUE GENUINE CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY. THE PICTURE ABOVE SHOWS THE BEAUTY SHOP ON LONDON STREET, IT'S RIGHT BEFORE CHURCHILL STREET.

WONDER

I WONDER, WONDER, WONDER, WONDER, WONDER,... THERE'S A 50'S SONG OUT WITH A LINE SIMILAR TO THAT. WHAT DO YOU PUT YOUR MIND "A WONDERING" ABOUT? THE BIBLE SAYS TO THINK ON THE GOOD THINGS-PURE, TRUE, LOVELY, RIGHT, NOBLE, ADMIRABLE, HOLY AND UPLIFTING TO GOD. THE WORD SAYS HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS. MAKE YOUR THOUGHTS HIGHER THAN THE NORM.

DOVER-ROLLING STONES

ANOTHER STORY IN DOVER IS THAT THE ROLLING STONES ALSO VISITED THE SAME PUB THE BEATLES STAYED AT WHEN THEY MISSED THE FERRY. THE STONES CAME TO DOVER ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM HAD A GIRLFRIEND WHO LIVED IN THE CITY. THIS ALL HAPPENED BEFORE THEIR TIME OF FAME.
