“We Must Draw The Line!” Hebrews 11:3; Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. You must draw a completely different picture of your life through Christ. “We Must Draw The Line!” 2 Corinthians 3:4; And such trust  have we through Christ to God-ward: v5; Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; v6; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. There’s an inward draw, Psalm 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Under the old covenant the Lord drew the line for us, but under the new covenant we draw the line for ourselves. “We Must Draw The Line!” It’s a picture of our life that shows the line we have drawn. Galatians 5:16; This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. “We Must Draw The Line!” John 4:7; There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. v11; The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Here we must understand that the drawing can’t be made by the flesh. v22; Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. v23; But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. “We Must Draw The Line.” The portrait shown, must show a willingness of heart. 2 Corinthians 8:12; For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 2 Corinthians 9:7; Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Don’t try to be a art-this when it’s not in your heart. “We Must Draw The Line!” Get paid for your work.. 1 Timothy 4:8; For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. “We Must Draw The Line!” Now finish the work. 2 Corinthians 8:11; Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. Philippians 4:13; I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. “We Must Draw The Line!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

“Sowing Into Your Future!” Galatians 6:7; Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. v8; For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. v9; And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Luke 23:42; And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. v43; And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Future happiness. What’s in your hands release it into your future. Colossians 3:23; And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; v24; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. “Sowing Into Your Future!” Proverbs 11:24; There is that scattereth, (freely giving all the time) and yet increaseth; and there is that witholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. v25; The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. “Sowing Into Your Future!” 1 Kings 17:13; And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. “Sowing Into Your Future!” Romans 12:1; I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. “Sowing Into Your Future!” You Have To be; 1 Corinthians 3:8; Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. Read Genesis 26:12-13. “Sowing Into Your Future!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

“20-20 Vision!” 2 Chronicles 20:20; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. John 14:1; Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  “20-20 Vision!” 2 Kings 20:1; In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. There is a revelation, that says, Isaiah was telling him. 2 Corinthians 13:5; Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Check your vision, Proverbs 29:18; Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. “20-20 Vision!” 2 Kings 20:2; Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying, v3; I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. James 1:25; But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. “20-20 Vision!”  1 Corinthians 13:12; For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 2 Kings 20:4; And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, v5; Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people. v6; And I will add unto thy days fifteen years. “20-20 Vision!” Psalm 119:37; Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. “20-20 Vision!” Overseer/Apostle

"Don't Just Come To Him For What He Can Do For You, But, Instead For What He Can Do To You!" Ephesians 5:15; See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, v16; Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. v17; Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. "Don't Just Come To Him For What He Can Do For You, But, Instead, For What He Can Do To You!" 2 Kings 5:10; And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. v11; But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. v12; Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. See, the thing is, when you want him to do something for you, normally it's you telling him what to do. But, when you come to him for what he can do to you, he's telling you. Proverbs 3:5; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. v6; In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. v7; Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. "Don't Just Come To Him For What He Can Do For You, But, Instead, For What He Can Do To You!" 2 Kings 5:13; And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Apostle Paul's explanation, 1 Corinthians 15:32; If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. Read too, Luke 9:25. "Don't Just Come For What He Can Do For You, But, Instead, For What He Can Do To You!" 2 Kings 5:14; Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. "Don't Just Come To Him For What He Can Do For You!" James 4:3; Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. "But, Instead, For What He Can Do To You!" v5; Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? v6; But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. "Don't Just Come To Him For What He Can Do For You, But, Instead, For What He Can Do To You!" Overseer/Apostle

"That's Of It, But That's Not It!" Philippians 3:12; Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. v13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Plainly explained, "That's Of It, But That's Not It!" Acts 27:22; And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. v23; For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve. v25; Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Ephesians 5:26; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, v27; That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. "That's Of It, But That's Not It!" Acts 27:41; And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. Psalm 34:18; The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Acts 27:44; And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. They had entered into his rest, and ceased from their own works, Hebrews 4:10. "That's Of It, But That's Not It!" Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. v5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. That's Of It, what you did in the Lord and got results. That's It, is your continuous doing in the Lord knowing. John 8:31; If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; v32; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

"Stick Around!" James 4:7; Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. v8; Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.. It's clear here what a sinner should do. But it is also made clear what church folks should do. "Stick Around!" That's one of the revelations that Jesus gave. John 14:1; Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. v2; I go to prepare a place for you. v3; And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. v4; And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Again it's clear here, that if you stick around he will show you,  where he is in that. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) "Stick Around!" Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. v15; Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. It's easy but to stick around you have to know, and that can be complicated to the flesh at times. Jude 1:21; Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. What Jude is saying stick around. "Stick Around!" 2 Kings 2:9; And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. v10; And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. The question you have to ask yourself, will you be there at that appointed time? "Stick Around!" Job 14:14; If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. "Stick Around!" Psalm 102:16; When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. Now, that sums up Stick Around. Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

"Get The Priority Right!" James 1:14; But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. v15; Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. What's estranged to most so call Christian is deleting themselves of the word of the Lord. In the weakness of their flesh. Elijah unto the widow woman; 1 Kings 17:10; Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. v11; And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. v12; And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. Most Christian's are willing to do some of the word, but not all of it. 1 Corinthians 9:24; Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. She was deleting herself from the word out of the weakness of her flesh. Matthew 26:41; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. "Get The Priority Right!" 1 Kings 17:13; And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. What he was saying, I am not here to bring you fear. 2 Timothy 1:7; For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. "Get The Priority Right!" It might seem somewhat out of place to say this, but it fits. Mark 8:34; Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. That's the priority change. 1 Kings 17:15; And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. v16; And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. "Get The Priority Right!" Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Isaiah 34:16; Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail. "Get Your Priority Right, Outcome Will Change!" Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

"Whose To Blame?" Matthew 26:41; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 1 Kings 18:17; And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? v18; And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. "Whose To Blame?" Romans 10:3; For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. "Whose To Blame?" 1 Kings 18:21; And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then  follow him. And the people answered him not a word. (See what you're allowing to happen.) Acts 5:34; Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; v35; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. Psalm 105:15; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. "Whose To Blame?" Acts 5:36; For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. Galatians 5:7; Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? "Whose To Blame?" Acts 5:38; And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought. Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Acts 5:39; But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. Titus 1:9; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. v10; For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision.

Romans 10:14; How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (Preacher; your public going in Christ Jesus.) Romans 9:6; Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: v7; Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. v8; That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Romans 10:15; And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Your public out pour that's in the Lord, did he send you that way. He sent Abram. Genesis 12:4; So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him. Genesis 13:8; And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. v9; Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. (Read Leviticus 10:10.) This was the Lord's way, the beauty of it. Romans 9:9; For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. Hebrews 11:6; But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Your Walk, Were You Sent? Saul was place as king over Israel, 1 Samuel 14 &15. His public display showed that he was not sent that way. 1 Samuel 13:11; And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; v12; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. Galatians 1:10; For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Because he wasn't sent that way, Saul loss the kingdom of God, 1 Samuel 13:13-14. Your Walk, Were You Sent? Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

"What You Say In The Lord, Be There For It." 1 Kings 18:1; And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. John 12:32; And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 2 Timothy 2:12; If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. "What You Say In The Lord, Be There For It." 1 Kings 18:3; (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly: v4; For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) Galatians 1:6; I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: v7; Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. "What You Say In The Lord, Be There For It." 1 Kings 18:7; And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? v8; And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.. v10; As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 2 Timothy 2:13; If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. "What You Say In The Lord, Be There For It." 1 Kings 18:11: And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. v15; And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. James 1:8; A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) "What You Say In The Lord, Be There For It." 1 Kings 18:1-16. Overseer/Apostle
