A GREAT REALITY SHOW....

And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, hand. and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house. But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee? But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left. Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.   2Sam. 13:1-32     

I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey...

To much of anything ( EXCEPT GOD ) is just not good for you. You could be one of the most powerful people in the world but every time you use your power you loose some. The life of King Solomon is an example of this fact. The wisdom that was given Solomon will never be duplicated but always imitated. Solomon used his power in a variety of ways but the most known one is his 1000 females. Solomon spent so much time entertaining the Lady's that his power was lost with GOD. When Solomon finally came to his self he wrote the Song of Songs. We become our environment the people we interact with become a part of our Spirit and mentality. When Solomon realized the greatest pleasure in life was not physical satisfaction he changed. Solomon's cry was HAVE YOU SEEN MY BELOVED. Because of the great influence women had on the life of Solomon, when he speaks it sounds as if he's talking about a woman and not GOD...  "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them. Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. ((( Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. )))
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.  Song of Songs 4:1-7

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

The first time we see Baptism to life is  in the ministry of Moses. "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of CHRIST that was to come. Romans 5:14 But we must keep in mind that there was a Baptism unto death. When the world was emerged or saturated with water. "Moreover, brethren, (((I would not that ye should be ignorant,))) how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1Cor. 10:1-2  Now as Israel passed through the Red Sea ((( NO WATER TOUCHED ANY PART OF THEIR BODY'S.)))  Because The True Baptism is Spirit made without hands. To be spiritually Baptised is to be emerged or saturated in THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST. But water Baptism represents fruits of repentance:   Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:  Matt. 3:8   Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.   Matt. 7:20

SALT OR PEPPER ?

Murders (per 100,000 people per annum) (1998-2000) by country

Some studies have suggested an association between abortion and breast cancer. Proponents of a causal link between the two suggest that the interruption of normal breast development during pregnancy leaves immature cells that are more cancer-prone in the breasts.

The virus and disease are often referred to together as HIV/AIDS. The disease is a major health problem in many parts of the world, and is considered a pandemic, a disease outbreak that is not only present over a large area but is actively spreading. In 2009, the World Health Organization estimated that there are 33.4 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS, with 2.7 million new HIV infections per year and 2.0 million annual deaths due to AIDS. In 2007, UNAIDS estimated: 33.2 million people worldwide had AIDS that year; AIDS killed 2.1 million people in the course of that year, including 330,000 children, and 76% of those deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa...  

In 2008, 49% of all marriages involve a remarriage for one or both spouses. It is estimated that 40% of all marriages have ended in divorce as of 2008.  On average, first marriages that end in divorce last about eight years. Of the first marriages for women from 1955 to 1959, about 79 percent marked their 15th anniversary, compared with only 57 percent for women who married for the first time from 1985 to 1989.  The median time between divorce and a second marriage was about three and a half years. 

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.       

^{Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:13-16}

For wide is the gate, and broad is the way to hell....

The Bible gives us a story of two men one was Lazarus and other the Rich man. Lazarus was poor an sick and he would lay in front of the Rich mans gate. Everyday the Rich man would see Lazarus with dogs licking his sores. But had no compassion and was so evil Lazarus was refused the crumbs from his table. Finally they both died Lazarus was given REST but the Rich man open his eyes in hell. David said where can I go and YOU be not there. Even in hell the Rich man received a WORD FROM GOD... And his final request was send Lazarus to talk to my brothers. because this is a terrible place and if Lazarus came back from the dead my brothers would believe.. The Rich man was told they have THE WORD OF GOD. If they REFUSE to believe THE WORD. NEITHER WILL THEY BELIEVE IF ONE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD..  Now then. We know that JESUS AFTER THREE DAYS CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD. And seat on the THRONE OF DAVID and HIS kingdom is and EVERLASTING KINGDOM. But neither do we believe and we know JESUS came back from the dead.   "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 7:13-23

GOD IS LOVE...

The FATHER has given us a personal invitation to come and reason with HIM. Can you imagine truly understanding THE LOVE OF GOD? The FATHER invites us to come and learn with HIM. To understand THE CROSS and all the doors that open by The DEATH of CHRIST.   "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.   Ps. 145:3  It's not easy to understand LOVE being born with the nature of satan.  It's the LOVE OF GOD THAT CAUSES A PERSON TO CHANGE. Once we come to the realization that JESUS DIED FOR SINS OVER 2000 YEARS. In all reality we are FREE from sin by THE BLOOD OR THE LIFE OF CHRIST JESUS.. And because of The LOVE of GOD we're born with a sinners debt PAID IN FULL. "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.   Romans 4:8    For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6   And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:7-8 We must focus on THE LOVE OF GOD to truly understand how BLESSED WE ARE. Here are a few examples of our attempt to defined LOVE..        Eros (ἔρως érōs) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Modern Greek word "erotas" means "(romantic) love". However, eros does not have to be sexual in nature. Eros can be interpreted as a love for someone whom you love more than the philia love of friendship. It can also apply to dating relationships as well as marriage. Storge:  love is often described as a comfortable old shoe relationship comprised of natural affection and a sense of belonging to each other. Storge love represents a safe haven for couples as it is a place of acceptance, mutual respect and shelter.  Phileo: This love cherishes and has tender affection for the beloved but it expects a response. It is a love of relationship, comradeship, sharing, communication and friendship. While eros makes lovers phileo makes a close companionship that is all trusting.   Agape: Many have heard me speak of agape love in several posts over the last year. Agape love is of particular significance to marriages in troubled waters, especially if one partner has disconnected. To love agape is to love your spouse completely, love them wholly, but expect nothing in return from them at the current time. Agape love is different from eros love in that it is not sexual, nor romantic in nature. Its nature is that of self sacrifice but is not unconditional. Because of our selfishness it limits our ability to LOVE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT LOVE IS... "If ye love ME, keep my commandments. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have love you. COME AND REASON WITH ME?

For MOST require a SIGN....

Signs are what Our FATHER used to Authenticate HIS SELF. Listen at what JESUS taught about SIGNS.  "So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, ((( EXCEPT YE SEE SIGNS AND WONDERS, YE WILL NOT BELIEVE.)))  John 4:47-48   So then. Signs came to help our unbelief not to set the standard for belief. The standard for belief is THE WORD OF GOD. Simply creation should be the only SIGN we need. To live on a ball ( EARTH ) going over 78000mph around the sun and not one drop of water falls off should be enough.. Listen to JESUS AGAIN. "And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. ((( Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.))) And many other SIGNS truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: (((( But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;))) and that believing ye might have life through his name.    John 20:26-31  SIGNS SHOULD LEAD US TO CHRIST, NOT CHRIST LEADING US TO SIGNS...  BE BLESSED !
