SOFTSOAP......

Living along has it's advantages, what I like most about it is I'm running things and when I say things I mean everything... I'm running the dishwasher, wash machine, dryer, sweeper and running water to wash the dishes. The problem I'm having is the smell or the mildew from the kitchen sponge ? I buy them regularly and they begin to smell pretty fast. Why? How can I stop it from happening? I rinse and squeeze them dry as possible before putting it up. I even use bleach to kill all the bacteria and it comes RIGHT BACK.. Bad habits are constantly knocking at the door of our hearts trying to get back in. Sin that we've repented for or habits that we had controlled has now returned and has started to smell. The same as the sponge has to be cleansed on a daily we too must be washed daily.  The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Is there no BALM in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Jer. 8:20-22 Since I'm running things it is my responsbilty to find some BALM for the sponge. What I find is what I needed was right in my face. Since the sponge was full of bacteria it needed to be washed. And there it was the BACTERIA HAND SOAP SITTING RIGHT ON THE SINK IN FRONT OF ME. I started to wash the sponge with the BACTERIA KILLING SOAP. On the next day the odor was still eliminated and there was a wonderful scent.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

The question has been asked why was Jesus born, why was it necessary for HIM to become visible ? The Bible teach us in the book of Romans that which may be known of God is seen by us; for God hath shewed it unto us. For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that we are without excuse: Because that, when we knew God, we glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in our imaginations, and our foolish hearts were darkened. Professing ourselves to be wise, we have become fools, Jesus gave us several reasons for HIS appearing. Jesus said HE was born to judge the ruler of this world. Even "Pilate therefore said unto Jesus, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Jesus also said HE came to save us from our sins, to heal the broken hearted, give sight to the blind, cast out demons, heal our body's and show us the love of GOD. But the number one reason Jesus was born was to show us HIS GLORY. OUR FATHER WITH ALL POWER CHOOSES TO BE A  GOOD GOD, A GOD OF LOVE.  The evidents of HIS LOVE is demonstrated by our existence.

LIFE WILL SHOW YOU, IF YOUR FAITH IS TRUE !

And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.      2Peter 1:6-9

IS IT " I " ?

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.     Romans 7:7  Knowing who and what you are is very important. Some of us will spend a life time and die and never know who we were. We are made in the image and likeness of GOD. But there's one difference our spirit's are contaminated with the nature of satan which is SELFISHNESS. One of the main by products of selfishness is to COVET.  Covetousness - a strong desire after the possession of worldly things (Col. 3:5; Eph. 5:5; Heb. 13:5; 1 Tim. 6:9, 10; Matt. 6:20). It assumes sometimes the more aggravated form of avarice, which is the mark of cold-hearted worldliness.

Today the closet is like a magicians hat !

Today the closet is like a magicians hat you never know what my come out of it. But what we do know is most people closets are full of hidden sin. You can always tell when a persons closet is full because they're holier then GOD HIMSELF. They do nothing wrong, they drip Holiness when they're closets are full of sin. Most pastor's and preachers wives know they're husband's are nothing but whores. And they make it so hard for the people to live. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Also there's regular people that were NEVER called to teach or preach but they're holier then Melchizedek on the out side..  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. These people act as if they're holier then CHRIST HIMSELF. But there closet is full of disobedience's.  John 8:1-9

THE THIRD TEMPLE

Jesus taught HE would destroy the TEMPLE and rebuild it in three days. Jesus made it clear that the Temple was and is HIS BODY. Ezekiel wrote there would be the restoring of the Temple. This Temple that Ezekiel wrote about was and is the BODY of The Lord Jesus Christ. John wrote in the Book of Revelation when he looked in heaven he saw NO TEMPLE. "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  Rev. 21:22-23 So then, The Third TEMPLE is Jesus HIM SELF. The Third Temple is portrayed as a religious notion and desire in Judaism rooted and expressed in many of Judaism's prayers for the return and rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem that had once stood as the First and Second Temples that were destroyed by the ancient Babylonians and the Romans. Since the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, religious Jews have expressed their desire to see the building of a Third Temple on the Temple Mount. Prayer for this is a formal part of the Jewish tradition of thrice daily Amidah prayer. Though it remains unbuilt, the notion of and desire for a Third Temple is sacred in Judaism. In life there are things that grow in value, the longer they exist the greater our  appreciation. But on the other hand there's things in life that loose value. They're no longer able to satisfy with the same intensity. Like a car in it's first months with that famous new car smell. But the older the car gets the less it's worth. The earthly Temple's lost there value in time and became irrelevant. To say that the Temple is The Body of Christ shouldn't be a surprise because our body's are temples. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Cor. 6:19  The FATHER has taught us every time the Temple was rebuild it lost glory. "And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.  Ezra 3:10-13 The last TEMPLE has less outer glory then the first two. "For HE shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Is. 53:2  JESUS SAID COME TO ME.
