Welcome to Ning

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

  • #And he was three days without sight and neither did eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here Lord. Acts 9:9,10

    Saul was three days blind and neither did eat or drink. Then the Lord told Ananias, who was a disciple at Damascus, to heal him and Ananias said behold, I am here Lord. This is to be our response to the Lord when he wants us willing and ready to obey Him. To be used by God we must be ready, willing, and available to be used by the Lord in His service. With this being Hannukkah we should celebrate with our Jewish brothers and sisters as we share in the festival of lights. Jesus is the Light of the world and all those who follow Him will not walk in darkness and will have the Light of lights. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except by Him. 

  • #And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Saul arose from the earth and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man but they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. Acts 9:7,8

    Saul is saved by the risen Savior on the Damascus road, and the men who were with him heard the voice, but were speechless because they did not see any man. Only Saul saw the Lord Jesus Christ and heard His voice. Then Saul's eyes were opened, apparently from being blinded by the light of the Lord, and arose from the earth, but the men led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. What a blessing as Saul is about to have his name changed to Paul and he will have his eyesight restored. We can see that Paul will take over the apostleship that Judas Iscariot forsook. Paul will be said of him by the saints at Jerusalem the persecutor is now praying. Many in the Church were in disbelief because this man had brought havoc upon the Church, but now he is a new creation in Christ Jesus. Old things are passed away and all things have become new. II Cor. 5:17 Since we have seen the salvation of Paul, we can see that God can save anyone and we should not stop praying for the salvation of our loved ones. For Paul stands as one of the greatest of the apostles, and he called himself the chief of sinners, yet he obtained mercy from God because he did it ignorantly. Let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we will reap, if we faint not.

  • #And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Acts 9:5

    Saul was astonished at the voice and said who art thou, Lord? Then the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. The crucified Savior and resurrected from the grave. Then Jesus tells Saul it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Meaning the Lord alone can save him from the troubling spirits that are causing him to persecute Jesus, the head of the Church. And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. We too can learn a lot from this salvation on the Damascus road by Saul: that is that the Lord will pursue us until we stop fighting against His Spirit. For the Lord came into the world to seek and to save the lost. So whatever you are doing stop and listen to the voice of the Lord for He loves you and wants to save you from an eternal hell. Call upon the name of the Lord and thou shalt be saved.

  • #And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven; And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? Acts 9:3,4

    This is the Damascus road salvation of Saul and we thank God that He can take our persecutors and make them praying saints. This light from heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ and only Saul hears His voice when He speaks to him. Even though men were with Saul only Saul could hear our Lord's voice and understand it. This is the experience that qualified Paul to be an apostle.

  • #Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting and His truth endureth to all generations. Psalms 100:4,5

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone for God is good let us sound His praises everywhere we go today for it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. So eat proportionately and enjoy your family. For Jehovah God is good and His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations.

  • #And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. Acts 9:1,2

    Saul was known to the Church as the persecutor as he was a Pharisee ( Acts 22:3) and a trusted leader of its enemies. So he went to the high priest to seek letters to bring women and men bound unto Jerusalem. We can learn a lot from our enemies as Jesus told us to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us. It was the prayer of Stephen before his death that led to the salvation of Saul. We must pray more when we are persecuted for God to save our persecutors. I remember when I told a co-worker I was praying for him, he said I better pray for myself. I thank the Lord he is now a strong Christian and my best brother in Christ. Thank God for the prayer of Stephen to not hold this sin against those who were stoning him, to which Saul was a witness to holding his garments. Saul after his name was changed to Paul said we must in all things give thanks for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. So as we prepare to meet with our families over the Thanksgiving Holiday let us give thanks for our persecutors. For we never know when it will be said, our persecutors are now praying.

  • #And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:39,40

    Once Philip, in the Greek eis, gone into the water and came up out, the Greek Ek, then the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip and transported him to Azotus were passing through he preached in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea. This is similar to how God will rapture the Church when the Lord Jesus comes in the epiphany. We must be like Philip to avail ourselves to the work of the Lord. For Jesus said we must work while it is the day, for when the night comes no man will be able to work. Just like Elijah after he finished his work he gave a double portion to Elisha when Elijah was caught up in the chariot of fire and the mantle fell down from heaven. We must carry this mantle until the Lord calls us home either by death or the Rapture. I thank the Lord for using all the great saints who have come before us to prepare us to meet our Lord.

  • #And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or some other man? Acts 8:34

    Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus. This is the Verbal Plenary Inspiration of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. As Philip was led by the Spirit exactly how to interpret the scriptures to the eunuch. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water and the eunuch said, see, here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This is the criteria for being baptized. So Philip went into the water with the eunuch and he baptized him in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • #Verbal Plenary Inspiration is God the Holy Spirit supernaturally directed the human writers  of Scripture. Verbal means the Bible in it's original languages. Plenary means the entire text of the Bible is equally from God. Inspiration means God Breathed in the Greek Theopneuutos. So this is why we take the Bible literally and not figuratively. In the Book of Revelations which is the Apocalypse it is symbolic and literal. So it is the unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ in all of His glory. So we receive this inspiration by the Holy Spirit as we read the Word of God. He takes the things of Christ and makes them real to us. So it is important that we pray before we study the Word of God for the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to see Jesus. Jesus said for us to search the scriptures for these are they that testify of Me. 

  • Jesus told us to go into the highways and byways to preach the gospel. That is what we need to be doing. Spread the gospel not gossip this holiday season. God bless everyone.
