A letter to God

Dear God,

I have a problem, Your Son's Apostle's said not to forsake the assembly, that is the coming together of your children, to learn how to understand the secrets of the Bible (basic-information-before-leaving-earth). We have shown them the answer to those questions by study, that is research, commentaries, listening to Your words, not just through the written word, but also everything I can get my hands on. And more than that meditating on what You have to say by listening and contemplating on what is said to me. Sometimes people ask the same question a different way to get I think clarity on what they have learned today; How can I get them to understand and move on? Sometimes as a Minister of the gospel (the good news) I feel like a failure, even though Your words will never come back void of meaning. So as Ministers where do we go from here? I ask you Father! So many people do not want to do a conventional service, there is so many television Evangelist, Missionaries, Preachers that offer a different way to heaven by just being a good person. People feel that they can worship there God alone in their home. Where is the balance? They can't seem to understand that Your Son Jesus paid the price for Your free gift as said in Ephesians chapter 2 : 8-10. So God help the folks out there know if they don't understand that you only have to give up an eternity in a very hot place. Some feel that they just die and get buried, and that's as far as they go. Well okay! Just let them pick up the Bible. Yes, I said the Bible; try it you might like it, it's full of wonder.

Your Servant To The People And You,

A letter to God

Dear God,

Today was a wonderful day! " I am alive," every day that I get up, is a good day. Every day that I pray is a great day, talking to you makes me feel safe, Just to let you know I am very sorry for letting my study time get taken up with other jobs, instead of staying on task. I wanted to let You know my wife is not feeling well, she can't sleep, I don't know why but it get's me worried!

Please God look out for my family, because You can see things that I can't, You hear things that I can't, and You can do things that I can't, so let's try them together. I know there is nothing going to happen today that You and I can't handle together. It always takes more than just one. I can pray alone but usually you are always there anyway. Oh yeah thank you for our home and new car without You, we could of never gotten them on no money down. I know you were just doing what You do. You are really in the blessing business, even when we don't ask for the blessings. You tell us ask, seek, and knock. I always ask you to let me see the things not normally seen, hear the things not heard, and find what is hidden from me, I want You to commit my knowledge to my heart not just my mind, again I want You to be first in my life not last. I also want to reach not just the lost but especially my sister in law Scarlett she is Yours but has fallen away we love her very much. This is our fervent prayer to You but not just the only prayer.

Your Servant,

Perry

The Lords Prayer or the Prayer for the People

"The Lord said after this manner therefore pray ye:" Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation , but deliver us from evil: For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever Amen. This is found in Matthew 6: 6-13 (KJV) after that He describes the Parable and the prayer, to his Disciples. You can keep reading chapter 6 and chapter 7. The second chapter of this Prayer is also found in is Luke 11:2-4. This was given as a model prayer to the Disciples for it to be passed on to us. "But the lords prayer is this;" Saying Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an Angel unto him from Heaven, strengthening Him. And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Christ showed his flesh and His [Godly manner] all in the same time. The drops of sweat was a prelim to the Cross. The view I bring from this is, wither you agree or not. Is that he gave us this prayer to learn in the Milk of the word, but when you study further in and grasp the meat of the word, you will find out that to have prayer answered you need to have Faith, Fast, Pray, come before Him with a song in your heart, and with Fear and Trembling. And then after all that you Meditate on the word. See Christ doesn't want us to be like the Pharisee's the law worshiper's and the Sadusee's Priest of that time. He Christ called them a den of Vipers. So why don't we be like the Publican in Luke 18:10-14 (KJV) I hope and pray that this reaches home to those who struggle with prayer life. I Love you all in the name of Ya'Shua, Jesus Christ.

I've heard the sky is the limit

I heard all of my life that the sky is the limit! As you are coming up in age you repeat to others what you are taught. But do we always hear the truth? When we're young, we do not necessarily know if it's the truth or not. I have heard other people make statements and say that's the truth. And of course when you have heard something similar, but in the right context meaning something entirely different, than what they were using it for. (By the way I have first hand knowledge of those kind of statements.) I used them all the time, and of course I didn't take the time to check out my facts, before I was taught the difference. Remember this in ( Proverbs 25:11 ) KJV A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Once again there is an old point made. It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and be known as a fool. The Bible tells us in Proverbs also, not to lean on our own understanding. So check things out , get your ducks in a row, you will be better off for it.
Now that we have that out of the way! Back to the Sky is the limit, this is temporal thinking. Temporal means you are limited to this world of thinking. My question to you is! Why do we have to limit ourselves to this world of thinking ? God says His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts, and look what He did, Einstein was Dyslexic and look what he did! But just remember; God said He chose us we didn't choose Him. So through Him ( Christ Jesus ) we can do all things.
So we are not just limited to Temporal thinking, and the sky is not just the limit, we can go far beyond the sky. We can go into the Heavens, with nothing to impede us, mountains can't stop us, oceans can't stop us. We can have the same thinking that the athletes have that they have to succeed; they work until they prefect their skills. They win Gold Medals for their accomplishments. But Jesus is going to give us Golden Crowns, and
to make sure this happens, let us start thinking Spiritual not Temporal.

Healing

Sister Lori, who is the wife of the associate Pastor Jack Easley, had been going without Medical treatment for 10 years. Why you ask? She just couldn't afford insurance. So we got in touch with a place called Crossroads medical clinic. It's a clinic started by our Baptist Association, so I called the people in charge. ( The reason I called them was because I had to use their services a while back but that's a story for another time.)
But back to Lori! Needless to say she was in bad shape, her doctor said to her she should be dead. She had to be put into the ICU unit when her blood pressure was 220 over 180, and her blood count was at 4, at the number 8 she should have had a blood transfusion. The doctors were saying she had a bleeding ulcer. Crossroads doctor said she needed some tests that she was having to wait on, so Lori was getting worse and worse. But going back to the Sunday before she was put in the hospital. Her church family anointed her with oil and laid hands on her and prayed for a healing, not just to feel better, but a total healing. She told us in her testimony that day that she wasn't scared at all; that she had turned it all over to the Lord. While she was in the hospital, she received all the tests she needed, 5 units of blood, and she had a scope put in her to see where the ulcer was. But guess what, they couldn't find an ulcer, anywhere! I mean not a trace, praise the Lord.
This Sunday she told her story in Sunday School , and what a wonderful day in the Lord we had. The Spirit was moving every where, in the singing, the preaching, even after we dismissed everyone hung around talking, fellowship was going on everywhere. I received one of the biggest blessings I have ever had ( Whoo Hoo ) as the Spirit stirred within me.
In the 7th chapter of Mark, verse 37 we can see what the people were proclaiming about Jesus after they witnessed His healing. "He had done all things well." There is no better description for what God can do. While Jesus was here among us he never did anything part way. The crippled walked away, happy and healthy. The blind man could see clearly and the deaf not only got his hearing back, he was able to speak clearly. That is how God works. He doesn't do anything halfway....he does all things well. Praise the Lord!

Writeing and Jesus

I have found out that some times I write like I talk. That's pretty embarrassing when you send it to someone who is a good speller. So, I have decided, that I will have my wife edit everything I do from now on. She was a columnist for two years with a local newspaper called the Navarre News. The column was called Cindy's Kitchen. She wrote stories about the recipes of family members and told stories about them in the process. Let me tell you that this woman, my wife, Cindy, can write. Cindy can spell with the best of them. She says she can't write! So its no big deal that she can take a chewed up pencil and make you want to take a vacation on it. I've told her many times that she needed to write a book or a cookbook, but she always has a reason why she can't write it. Well maybe one day! Miracles do happen don't ya know. I wonder how God feels when people don't use the physical gifts that he gave them when he created us. You can find out how he feels about us by reading Psalms chapter 139. Yes the whole chapter is really a good read. Try it, you might just like it; don't be afraid, Just open the Bible (Basic Information Before Leaving Earth ) I have had minimal teaching in Diction, Writing, Spelling, or even throughout school, English was not one of my favorite subjects. English Lit.; now I loved English Lit. Mr. Clark was one great teacher and a wonderful friend to me after I left. For me, school, was over, and I left for other journeys I had to take.

I was so caught up in the things that I wanted to accomplish, that I just never stayed with the basic grammar and spelling and to learn about it. Have you ever heard the saying "keep it simple, stupid"? We should never make things more complicated than they really are. That is how a lot of people are with accepting Jesus as their savor; they think, what do I have to give up? What will my friends think of me? I don't want to be called a Jesus freak! Oh no here comes the Bible thumper. If you ever want to be alone an elevator just start talking about Jesus. It will take only one or two floors to be completely by yourself... with twenty floors left to go.

Well Jesus did tell us to go into our prayer closets, to communicate with Him. So make the best of your time. You still have those twenty floors to go to talk with God. You'll will come out in a better mood than when you went in - you are set for the rest of the day. A smile is still contagious, even today. Did you see on the news channels where a man or woman wants to break the "hug me" record? People today seem to be in such a hurry that they don't have time to be loved. Give them a smile, it's an acknowledgment that you care about them. Be nice to people, and many will want what you have.

Did you see how I went from writing, to talking about the Lord, and how it makes people feel. Well I feel just great! And I hope you do to.
