#Halloween, #DayOfTheDead, #Zombies, #Vampires – what do all these things have in common?  Our fascination with death.  Does it mean the same thing to everybody?  Is there more than one type of death?  How is it possible to be physically alive and spiritually dead?  What is the second death?  How can we avoid it?  Was man created to die?  What happens to the soul and body after physical death?  What happens to a person’s consciousness after death?  The best way to start living and quell your fear of dying is to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.

THE LIVING GOD #SPIRIT

This time of year, we hear about and see all manner of #evil #spirit aberrations in #movies, #TV, and yes-even on neighborhood doorsteps!  Today our society seems to embrace the spirit of evil with glee, but refute the HOLY SPIRIT.   The Bible clearly proclaims God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Do You?  These are just a few Bible verses I would like to share with you  Not as a TRICK, but a TREAT…. “The hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and TRUTH; for the Father seeks such to worship Him.  GOD IS SPIRIT.” John 4:23  “We have not received the SPIRIT OF BONDAGE TO FEAR but received the SPIRIT of ADOPTION so we can call , Abba Father.   The SPIRIT bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Rom.8:15,16  “GOD REVEALS to us by HIS SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT SEARCHES all things, yes the deep things of GOD.  We have not received the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD.  So things which we speak are not words teaching  man’s wisdom, but the HOLY GHOST TEACHINGS comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” 1Corth.2:10-13  “Now the LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: and where the SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.” 11Corth.3:17  “Rejoice.. pray…be thankful..QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT...” 1Thess.5:16-19 ” Avoid even the appearance of evil. ”  On this Halloween, are you promoting the spirit of fear and evil or do you show the Spirit of the Lord in a loving, caring, giving demeanor?   Let God’s Spirit shine through the darkness.

How best do we carry on with the ministry of #JesusChrist?  He sent His followers out to the ends of the Earth to spread the #Gospel (Good news).  But what should that look like?  What were Jesus’ thoughts and feelings toward the poor?  Is there more than one kind of poverty?  Is His message just for the poor?  What about the broken hearted?  He also mentioned helping those held captive.  My mind goes immediately to the victims of human trafficking, but as Brother Tommy points out there are many other types of captivity.  How do we restore sight to the blind?   How do we comfort the bruised?  What does it mean to proclaim the Year of the Lord?  So who are we to reach out to with this message?

THE LIVING GOD #VISIT

When was the last time you had a #visit from anyone?  Years ago, #family and #friends or #acquaintances would actually come to one’s home, sit down, and share a conversation with one another.   You always knew the boisterous one with a lively tale to be told.  Another one was more reserved,  but shared something good that took place recently.  Certain traits of the individuals would manifest through their words shared during  chats at our visit.  As I matured,  I realized patterns that had developed in the lives of those with whom I had shared visits.  Some told whoppers – very embellished events while others very carefully twisted the truth to make themselves look good.  Telling our life adventures and interactions through a one on one visit does not occur often, but the pattern of interaction seems to be repeating  through Facebook and the internet today.   My childhood story of playing with an elephant in the backyard was immediately identified as untruth;  however, today we have Donkeys and Elephants in our dens on TV spouting untruths and we say,  “It’s O.K. everyone lies”   What does GOD SAY as HE VISITS WITH US?  Jeremiah 9:  “Their house is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, said the LORD.  They bend their tongues lie a bow for lies; but they are not brave for the truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not ME, said the LORD.  They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies.  Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit;  one speaks peaceably to the neighbor with the mouth, but in the heart lays wait for him.  SHALL I NOT VISIT THEM FOR THESE THINGS, SAID THE LORD: SHALL NOT MY SOUL BE AVENGED ON SUCH A NATION AS THIS?  They have forsaken my law which I set before them and have not obeyed my voice, but walked after the willfulness of their own heartsHEAR the WORD OF THE LORD let your ear receive the WORD OF HIS MOUTH.”

Last week, we heard #JesusChrist speak His last words to us before His ascension to His throne in Heaven.  But, this week we hear what the angels said right after to give us hope for the future.  I mean, if Christ had told us to go out and tell the World and then went back to Heaven, that would be great.  Right?  But wait, there’s more.  Think about this miracle, Jesus ascended back to the Father in a physical body.  That should tell us something about the floating on a cloud and playing a harp idea.  How long was Jesus on Earth in His new body after the resurrection?  Where have we heard this number before?  Probably the most intriguing thing about the new body to Brother Tommy was the recorded incidence of Jesus eating.  What did His 40 days of appearances prove to anyone who is looking for God?  Why did He leave?  What did the angels say about the future that could be good news or bad depending on your current relationship to Jesus Christ?
