How To Cure Snakebite

      19860928 How To Cure Snakebite - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#SnakeBite, why would you want to know this unless you had been #attacked?  This is not a message about handling #dangerous #snakes.  But, what if I told you that we have all been bitten by this one old rotten snake?  First, what are the symptoms?  Take the Israelites in the wilderness, what was so distasteful to God about their behavior?  How are we different today?  What’s God’s answer to their rebellion?  How about ours?  What is harder, following Christ or not following Him?  What is the law of sin and death?  So what is the cure for this fatal bite?  Back to the Israelites for a minute, why didn’t God answer their petition the way that they wanted?  How does the snake symbolism change in this story?  Is there more than one cure for snake bite?  This cure is simple and yet so many who are in danger of dying refuse it.

THE LIVING GOD #LIGHTS

Do you put up #lights for #Christmas?  I am amazed by the million lights on #homes that #families engineer to enter in the Festive Lighting Contest on TV.  The people have computerized their lights with special effects timed to perfection.  This is quite a phenomenon!  We are all drawn to the light..  Sometimes we just want out of the dark and need light to find our path. What did Jesus say about light in John 8:12  “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE !”  CHRIST LIGHTS THE WHOLE WORLD.… Now the light of GOD is not limited to forms of dancing, strobing, pulsing, twinkling, or a lazier beam!   YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST, MESSIAH IS LIGHT.  GODS’ LIGHT cannot be quenched, covered, turned off for HE IS EVERLASTING.  GOD does not change, but we do.  By His Light we can walk His path or choose to walk alone in the dark.  I have seen many landscapes with various terrains while walking through a lifetime of trials through sickness, accidents, storms, deaths, political and financial challenges.  From the valleys of sorrow to the exhilarating heights of joy, I have observed and felt the ever present LIGHT OF THE LORD.  Some of the shadows that were cast have brought me to my knees.   Some daybreaks brought singing in my soul.  Some high noons were scorching with the heat but destroyed the mold.  Some sunsets were so gloriously ablaze with majesty across the horizon that it stopped me in my tracts.  I know the light is ever present and unchanging, but all my life and circumstances are ever changing.  GOD’s LIGHT IS EVER PRESENT, UNCHANGING, the SUN.   My husband, Tommy used to close every written communication with, “KEEP the SON IN YOUR EYES”  I can truly say, “THE LIVING GOD – LIGHTS UP MY LIFE”

How To Please God

#DIY or do it yourself is very popular on #Youtube.  Most of the titles start with ‘How To.’  Well, we have three of them before we hear the Christmas message later this month.  Is it possible to please God?  What does the Bible say?  Is there more than one way?  Is there an essential element required first, kind of like making sure you have the right tool before you start?  What is Faith?  I have heard people say they won’t put their Faith in anyone or anything.  But, how could they get through a day?  What are some roadblocks to greater Faith?  What is important about God wanting us to have Faith in Him?  How did Jesus show us this was the case?  What is wrong with a lack of Faith?  What are the rewards of Faith in God?  How would you like five steps to getting a stronger Faith?

THE LIVING GOD #COMFORTER

After eating a delicious Thanksgiving meal, did you need to relax in the comfort of  your easy chair?  Webster’s dictionary defines comfort as a state of having relief, cheer, consolation, freedom from pain and suffering.   Now that sounds like a state in which we all would like to find ourselves.  You may enjoy good music, a great ball game, beautiful sunset, or an intriguing novel to find your comfort zone, but how long does it last?  How long does a comforting good hug last?  My grandson gives great big memorable hugs, but he is many miles away now and those hugs are few and far between. What a comfort to me that God said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Heb.13:5    Has anyone  ever comforted you during a stressful time in your life?       May I share my COMFORTER with YOU…  during your time of  fear…despair…pain…anguish….disappointment….tragedy….Is.40:1 “COMFORT YOU. COMFORT  YOU my people, said your GOD”  ..Ps.23 “The LORD IS MY SHEPHERD:  I SHALL NOT WANT….though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for LORD IS WITH ME, thy rod and thy staff  they COMFORT ME.“….Is.49:13″Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break forth into singing, O mountains:  for the LORD HAS COMFORTED HIS PEOPLE, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.” …  The LIVING GOD’S COMFORT IS EVERLASTING .…Is.38:19,20 “The living, the living, he shall praise the Lord, as I do this day:  the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD IS READY TO SAVE ME”

The Person Who Pities

Last week, we learned why we should always give #thanks.  This week, we will learn what happens when we ignore this advice and start down a path of #self #pity.  We tend to think of biblical heroes as perfect, infallible, or at the very least happy and enthused.  But, are they?  Elijah was a great man, a prophet, one whom God loved and still he found himself dejected under a juniper tree.  What toll does it take to serve the Lord and bring truth to people?  Is a Christian life going to be easy and bring popularity?  What happens when we lose focus on the important things?  Does God speak to us in the chaos of current events?  Who do you trust and who do you fear?  Is it possible that there could be more going on than we can see right now?
