WORDS (KJV)

 

If you go to biblegateway.com (KJV) and type "words" in the search bar, you get 521 results. I chose 33 verses for this study. 

When you understand how powerful words are and what they are actually used for AND how they're used, you may be more careful as to the words you allow yourself to speak, read and be influenced by...

Words serve a purpose, and for those who do not understand this, you may want to pay careful attention to this study. God laid it on my heart a few months back that everything that is happening around us today is just WORDS. They are coming at us worse than fruit-flies in the evening. The only way to not be influenced by them is to literally turn yourself away from them. The only way to rise above them is to be in the WORD of TRUTH! (Amen!) Let's examine these verses on Words shall we?

Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Job 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? Jesus is the Perfect Living Word. I think it's safe to say that the less you speak the less judgement you bring upon yourself...

Proverbs 6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Words are life, and when you have a deep understanding of the Bible, you choose your words carefully.

Job 4:4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. God's Word will prevent you from falling and it will give you strength.

Psalm 36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. The words you speak are foundational.

Psalm 50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. Words give instruction.

Psalm 52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. Words deceive!

Psalm 55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Words lift you up, then slice you on your way down!

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Words are influential...

Psalm 56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. Words cause unrest in those who oppose your Godly character. 

Psalm 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: Words are weapons.

Psalm 59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. Corrupt Words equals Corrupt Individuals.

Psalm 109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. Words bring strife. 

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Jesus is the (only) Everlasting Word of Life and Truth! All we speak is pure vanity.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. KJV Organic Bible Readers solidify this because it leaves none of us questioning our faith. Moreover, we are less likely to be deceived by the One World Religion (doctrine) that has already been incorporated by the modern church. The ideology behind this is to denounce (renounce) Biblical morality.

Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. When your Words represent Jesus, people will oppose you (again, all problems are a result of people living in opposition to God).

Psalm 107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: The devil got the boot out of heaven for equating himself with God; only a child of the devil would hold God's Word in contempt! (Listen carefully non-KJV'ers)

Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Proverbs 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; God's Word is to be kept (treasured in the heart). When you keep God's Word in your heart, you will be cleansed and changed by it. 

Proverbs 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; God's Word will deliver you from the wicked.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. God's Word brings healing.

Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. God's Word makes one wise!

Psalm 109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. People love to air their opinion; it gives them a sense of power so to speak.

Job 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?  The words of the righteous are as a powerful force within themselves; and those who want to disprove your words do so  against themselves.

Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. People carefully choose specific topics as conversation starters - which is (often) designed to get people into agreement with them. When you agree with others (opinion), you may will yourself in disagreement with God's Word.

Psalm 141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. When people end up alone because their schemes didn't work out, it is in those stony places (rock-bottom) that they seek God and His Righteousness. (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.) 

Further Study - Jesus Living WORD

Psalm 106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. Those who worship God must do so in spirit and truth. Only those who truly hear the Word of the LORD, and receive it in their hearts truly bring praise to God.  

Psalm 119:57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Those who keep God's Word in their heart will be the only ones ready for Christ's Coming. 

Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. This is surely an eye-opener: As long as we are here (on earth) we are named and numbered with the fallen. So many "would-be" Christians live in deceit. They believe that just because they believe in Jesus, they are automatically given their "get out of hell free" card. That is not so. It is only God's Word that will be fulfilled, so the safest place to be is IN it (the Organic Original King James Bible that is).

Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. God's Word is the only faithful word, but it's also the final word!

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. As one who is now more aware on how powerful words are, this is an awesome prayer to ponder daily.

For every (worldly) problem, there is a Godly solution. Every problem arises when one's life is in opposition to God in one way or another. These problems flare in the mind (attitudes) because they are in opposition to truth. Opposition takes place when we twist, turn from, or ignore God's Holy Bible (KJV). A great deal of this happens because of variants (different versions) of the Bible; it takes the mind hostage, and away from it's original truth. The reader is unaware (deceived) that they're not receiving the fullness of the Living Word. Good thing this comes with a consequence within itself. Revelation 22:18-19 says, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." When you follow a perverted version of the Bible - but you believe it's the real thing, you are unable to perceive all that is Holy. 

God Bless,

The Book of Opinions

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isaiah 14:12

Are you dissatisfied with what the Holy Scriptures say? 

Well now you can write your own! 

Whether you are a tyrant like John Calvin with his Geneva Bible (using it to lord over people) - or a Berean (a form of Calvinism) or like Billy Graham with his New King James version (that removes the conviction from the Authorized KJV - leading the "once saved - always saved" lie) - the Book of Opinions is all about you!

All joking aside, many opinions have come along and distorted God’s Truth - taking the focus off of Jesus, and placing it on ourselves. What's worse is we see in Isaiah 14:12 that the result weakens us...

Revelation 22:18-19 says, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Considering the hell we are facing here on earth, perhaps it’s because we’ve gotten carried away with our opinions on Scripture as opposed to observing sound Biblical judgment or discernment.

Take a look at some “opinions” that have been (mis)taken as scripture so we can see where we went wrong:

Opinion 1:1 "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

The actual scripture is: 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." 

Opinion 1:2 He qualifies the called." 

This is quite a popular quote amongst believers. However, there is a truth that is missed in this statement. 

Matthew 22:14 says, "For many are called, but few are chosen."

Romans 8:29-30 says, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."

Many people believe they're qualified on merit or their status, but, your ordainment comes when your inner man matches that of Jesus. 

Opinion 1:3 "Once saved - always saved."

Philippians 2:12 (Amplified - Classic) says, "Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ)."

Backsliding, or rather rebellion against the Scriptures, has become a problem for many Christians. Habitual sins, love for material things and failure to love one another (forgiveness) is a serious road-block that holds many apart from Christ. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee...

Opinion 1:4 "If you spare the rod, you hate your son."

The complete verse in Proverbs 13:24 says, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

It takes wisdom and diligence to train your child well. Disciplining your child involves love and should never be done in anger. Teach your child to love and fear the LORD as you yourself grow in the love and fear of the LORD! (Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.).

Opinion 1:5 "Jesus saves."

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

This verse is highly misinterpreted. False (apostate) teachers would have us believe that all we need to do is believe in Jesus as the man in the flesh. We must believe in Jesus as the Living Word John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God! 

Jesus will save you, but you must put to death the deeds of the flesh; 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.

Opinion 1:6 "Time heals all wounds."

Isaiah 53:5 says, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Time heals all flesh-wounds...well it's actually the body that does the work. When you break a bone, your body immediately begins producing new cells to heal the damage. When your skin is cut, platelets in your blood clot at the scene to stop the bleeding; white blood cells remove the dead and injured cells, new healthy cells repair damaged tissue. Time is nothing more than a continual measurable process. Since time is numbered, like us, time is always limited. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega; our beginning and end is only in Him. If you are dealing with unhealed spiritual wounds, it’s time to seek Jesus; He will restore you.

Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Jude 1:18 how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 

For those who are full of self-love and wrath, time is nothing but a breeding ground - waxing you cold against the things of God...

Opinion 1:7 "Money is the root of all evil"

The scripture reads: 1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

What's the point of gaining if the cost is forfeiting your soul? The Bible says Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6

Opinion 1:8 "Cleanliness is next to godliness"

The scripture reads: James 4:8: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."

Jesus raises an important point when speaking to the Pharisees in Luke 11:39-41. Godliness is a part of the inner man; cleanliness only pertains to the outer man.

Opinion 1:9 “You will prosper in everything you put your hands to.”

Prosperity preachers love Jeremiah 29:11 - especially in the NIV, it reads - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. This is falsely translated! The Authorized King James reads in Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

You must also observe verses 12 and 13.

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Opinion 1:10 "All things work together for good."

Romans 8:28 reads: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

We make plans, but the plans God has for us are (really) the only ones that will prevail.

Opinion 1:11 "God moves in mysterious ways."

The scripture reads: Isaiah 55:8: "'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' saith the LORD."

There is no mystery. When your ways are aligned to God's Way, then His Way becomes clear. Proverbs 3:6

Opinion 1:12 "Pride comes before a fall."

Proverbs 16:18, actually reads: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

I have never seen God bless someone who was puffed-up and full of selfish pride. God lifts the lowly and the humble - not those who exalt themselves. 

Opinion 1:13 “Why does God take us through troubled waters? Because your enemies can’t swim.”

This statement flabbergasts me! 

It says in Matthew 14:26-33 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

A better interpretation should be “Why does God take us through troubled waters? Because that’s where you learn to "walk on water"; but don't quote me on this!

Opinion 1:14 "God will not give you anything beyond what you can bear."

The scripture reads: 1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

This Scripture debunks the myth that God will "spare" you from trouble. It's not that God won't give you anything beyond what you can bear, but that God will help you bear what [trouble] you've been given.

Opinion 1:15 “The Bible has one "fear not" for every day of the year."

The King James Bible has a "fear not" only 170 times; but, if God said it once, then once is enough. 1 John 4:18 Jesus said; "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

Those who need continual reassurance have not been made perfect on God's love - meaning  they don't fully know Jesus, and that they haven't fully accepted His love for them. When we don't fully know Christ, we need to get into the scriptures and learn more about Him. 

Opinion 1:16 “His death certificate became my birth certificate.”

The scripture reads: John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus makes it clear that we must be "Born Again" - born of His [Holy] spiritual nature.

Opinion 1:17 “When you kneel down to God, He stands up for you; no one can stand against you.”

The scripture reads: Romans 8:30-33 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

There’s an “if” involved.  You need to be in right standing with God first. I have witnessed many (so called) Christians mistreat others - act as though they've done nothing wrong and run to God for his grace. God is for that person; and in order to be in Right Standing with God, you need to be in right standing with His people. Matthew 5:24 1 Corinthians 11:28-29

Opinion 1:18 “Satan says, look at your sin, God says, look at my Son.”

The scripture reads: 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Reconciliation is key. Satan will go on the attack, however, if there is sin present in your life, it may be the Holy Spirit’s conviction. Should that be the case, it's unwise to ignore it.

Opinion 1:19 “You will be blessed in everything you do.”

The scripture reads: Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

But when you examine Deuteronomy 28:15-19 you’ll note that it says, But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

Prosperity messages have really corrupted a lot of believers. You will know that scripture is being misrepresented when it takes the focus off of God and places it solely on self.

Opinion 1:20 “Prayer changes things.”

The scripture reads: James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

"It's not necessarily that prayer changes things; prayer changes me, and I change things."

Opinion 1:21 “You will be the Head and not the tail.”

The scripture reads: Deuteronomy 28:13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

Prosperity (apostate) preachers soak this concept up with a false sense of royalty. Get away from that. This verse signifies the authority we have in Christ Jesus when we walk after Him!

Opinion 1:23 “I'm a good person/God sees the good in me"

The scripture reads: Psalm 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 

We are children of the devil by default. The more we accept our wickedness, the more God is able to cleanse it from us. 

Opinion 1:24 "God helps those who help themselves"

The scripture reads: Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

God gave us His Word. We are headed for disaster if we think we can live our lives - never opening our Bibles, and expect good outcomes. The power of God [Holy Spirit] is given to us as we feast on His Word. They are life; and when we eat of it, that becomes our life!

Opinion 1:25 "Grace upon grace - Gift upon gift" - taken from John 1:16

John 1:16 ESV reads - And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

John 1:16 in The Message reads - We all live off his generous abundance, gift after gift after gift.

John 1:16 in the Authorized KJV reads - And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 

Grace for grace; the for means to that we are affected by it - not that it is multiplied to us. I suggest you exercise caution when using other Bible versions other than the King James Version; a great deal of apostacy (false teaching & interpretation) is because of these versions. 

Opinion 1:26 "You will be blessed and highly favored."

It is assumed that Paul wrote this to the churches based on Philippians 4:10-23 however, these specific words were never actually spoken by Paul.

Opinion 1:27 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus - Romans 8:1" (straight out of the NIV)

The unadulterated King James Version reads: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Opinion 1:28 "Your Best Life is Now"

This is popular amongst Joel Osteen fans. Be careful when it comes to apostate leaders; their ideology leads you AWAY from the TRUTH! These ideas are 100% Antichrist! The scripture says in Psalm 39:5 "Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity." Selah.

Opinion 1:29 "Good Deeds Gets You To Heaven"

The Bible says in Revelation 3:2 “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.” 

Opinion 1:30 "1 Chronicles 12:18 in the NIV reads: Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Success, success to you, and success to those who help you, for your God will help you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands."

The King James Version reads; 1 Chronicles 12:18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

We need to be careful especially when it comes to Bible translations; much Scripture has been taken out of content - leading people away from the truth.

If you have been carried off by inaccurate opinions and versions of Scripture, you will know because you will end up frustrated that your expectations have failed you. If this speaks to you, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you back into His Truth today.

If you know of other opinions that are (mis)taken as Scripture, feel free to share them with me. Thank you in advance :-)

God Bless,

Run Down But Still Running

In these Last Days we are facing some difficult times. Fear, dread, hate and separation seems to be our accepted new normal. What is going on in the world today is most certainly impacting every human being on the planet - leaving us feeling completely run-down. God sees it all...

Isaiah 61:3 (Amplified - Classic) To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. 

The Hudson Hornet is a full-sized automobile that was manufactured by Hudson Motor Car Company in Detroit, Michigan. The Hudson Motor Company produced vehicles from 1909 until 1954.

Hudson boasts a number of firsts for the auto industry; these included dual brakes, the use of dashboard oil-pressure and generator warning lights, and the first balanced crankshaft, which allowed the straight-six engine to work at a higher rotational speed while remaining smooth - developing more power for its size than lower-speed engines. 

The Hudson was one of the first low-priced cars on the American market and sold 4,508 units in their first year! Their success drew the attention of their competitors...

During World War II (1942 -1945), the Federal government ordered Hudson to cease auto production to manufacture vehicles for them. Due to this, the Fisher Brothers (of GM) contemplated a takeover of the Hudson Corporation in 1944. It never materialized because their attempt invoked the Hudson's stock to flourish - allowing their company to be at the top once again!

The AMC knew all about the Hudson's value and desired to take it over because it was more prestigious and performed much better than their Cadillac. Even though their attempt didn't materialize, they didn't stop there... Big company's don't like competition. When they see that someone did or does something better, they feel the need to devise their own scheme to crush the competition.

In 1953, the Hudson Motor Car Company produced a Jet compact car and attached a high price to it. After the second year, the company ran into trouble. Eventually the HMC company merged with Nash-Kelvinator and continued to produce the Hudson vehicles - until the last Hudson rolled off the Kenosha assembly line (End of the Line '57) on June 25, 1957. Shortly thereafter, it was succeeded by the American Motors Corporation.  

The Hudson Hornet is such a beautiful car. As a classic car enthusiast, I was taken back when I saw this run-down 1956 Hudson Hornet at a classic auto show I was at. (It was a tear-jerker.)

Seeing such a beautiful car in this condition really 'struck a chord' with me - it reminds me of what life is does to us. When we are negligent of ourselves and each-other, we run the risk of showing ourselves to be a "beat-up" product. When we feel beat-up, our minds tend to fall into a belief pattern - believing we are damaged-goods - beyond hope...

Right now, the human race is under attack by an elite system that is seeking to take us over by gaining full control over our every move, thought and emotion.

The system wants to merge human beings with technology and patent them as Humans2.0 - branded like cattle - owned and operated by the new world system. It makes me wonder if they are threatened by our good morale and fear the consequence once everyone knows what they really do...

God made us in His Own Image (as sovereign beings) so when you understand that, you learn that it is necessary to undermine the elite system. James 4:7 (KJV) says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Resisting is the #1 way to overcome the elite plan. (Let that sink in!)

We have become a society that is bent on hate - camouflaged as love; self-interest in the form of an interest in others - it's as though we are completely "faking it".

We have gotten comfortable beating others down with harsh words and actions (separation) - leaving people with painful scars and unwilling to see their value. They are not acknowledging the value God placed on all of us. This is dangerous because it is here where we are captured...Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

When we lose our sense of belonging (to God) all we see is the rubbish, the rust, the ripped interior, the worn-out tires, the broken-down motor and the cost it would take to restore it all...

With all that heaviness, we weigh the cost - the work involved and how long it would take; then we estimate that we don't have the time and resources to repair it; so we walk away and give up on it.

God said in Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. We need to apply the strength HE supplies us with - not only to stand up to this New World System, but also to not fall for the media lies, fall into entrapment (fear or deep interest) or to get caught up in needless arguments (comments) that are all  based on a lie - no matter the news source...

God calls us to love out of a pure heart because He knows that when we are separate from Him, as well as each other, we are weakened and the enemy gets a foothold. "Ephesians 4:26-28 (KJV) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."

Our labour ought to be for the benefit of one-another. We need to be aware and recognize when those around us are in need - whether it's a physical need or a spiritual need. In Luke 19:10 Jesus said "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." We are His Representatives, so we need to be aware of the needs of others and extending our hearts to them.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (KJV) "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."

It is love out of a pure heart that sees the beauty underneath all the mileage life has put on us - the mileage we have placed on each other; and when we labour for one another, the Love of God grows within us. In fact, each time we extend our hearts toward someone, our heart grows. When we extend our heart to someone who has deeply wounded us, our heart grows the greatest because we are showing that person the very value God has given to - and lavished upon us; it's so great - we cannot contain it so we share it with others!

Isaiah 43:16,18 -19 (Amplified - Classic) says "Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters, Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

We cannot drive effectively looking backwards (using the rear view window as a windshield). Likewise, we cannot live effectively when we constantly recall our fears, doubts as well as the scars that life placed on us. We need to forgive and allow God's Love (a loving heart) to change our perspective. Only then will we see our ability to restore others that carry hurt. When we do, we will be able to keep our eyes fixed on the windshield - looking forward to the new thing God is doing in our lives. After all, God promises us Beauty for Ashes! 

For the record - there's no such thing as "damaged goods" in the eyes of a loving God!

John 13:34-35 (Amplified - Classic) "I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. By this, all [men] know that you are My disciples if you love one another [if you keep on showing love amongst yourselves].

We all have the resources to restore each other and to throw a wrench in the elite's plan. We may not be able to stop it altogether, but we can reduce the impact when we humble ourselves before the LORD " 2 Chronicles 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well."

We can do great things when we allow the love of God to flow through us!

God Bless,

Show Us The Father

I recently watched the interesting documentary, "Show Me the Father "by the Kendrick Brothers.

This 90 minute film depicts the role of the Father and how the Glory of God is revealed in it. However, too many fathers these days fail their children.

One of the highlights of this film was how the first families (in the history books of the Bible) would pass their blessing and favor on to their children (sons).

Many children grow up fatherless; others (like myself) grew up with a father that was never there. My dad mocked and cursed me and had a use for me, then called me "no good" when I stopped allowing myself to be used by him. Not only was he a professed Christian, but he calls himself a pastor and evangelist...

Psalm 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

When you go to Bible Gateway (KJV) and type in the word 'Father' you get 1511 results. The book of John alone has 116 verses with the word 'Father' in it. John 3:35 says, "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand."

When a father loves, he will entrust all things to his child - knowing that he raised them right; this includes good judgement!

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

To raise a child right, it must be done with integrity. We see from the following verse that God, our Father, seeketh the integrity in heart as true lovers and worshippers of Him.

John 4:23 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.

Stats show that those raised without a father are more likely to end up with addiction, in prison, depressed and commit suicide and more. The majority of the people on earth do not have a loving father and the chaos on earth proves it.

The passage of John 14:7-14 demonstrated the struggle with our understanding that We Have A Father!

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

Jesus is clearly telling us that We Have A Father!

As a (struggling) Christian, many times I feel like I am way off-out of God's sight and mind - constantly mulling over the sins' of my past and present...

I also struggle with other challenges - one of them being that I don't know how to identify myself as a daughter of the Heavenly Father; He is God, just not Father.

Throughout my life, I have taken a lot of unkindness; so when it comes to comprehending the Father's kindness, I find it difficult.

Luke 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

I see the above verse that I am a great way off; but that doesn't stop the Fathers affection.

Unkind words and actions is not where our identity is; our true identity is where the Father's love and compassion is.

Isaiah 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Remember this and know that Your Heavenly Father is with you - always.

God Bless,

Maria
