Aren’t we blessed
and glad that we have a Savior that is longsuffering, merciful,
loving, kind, gentle and caring? I’m not about to try and
remember all the times I have failed the Lord, but I can assure
you it’s thousands and thousands. You might question me
and say, “There’s no way,” but I assure you
that had it not been for His grace and mercy, I wouldn’t
be here today. God’s love is perfect and His forgiveness
is absolute. When we forgive others, we may still hold on to aught
and have hard feelings towards that individual. We shouldn’t,
but sometimes we allow flesh to get in the way. God’s forgiveness
is complete. Not only will He forgive you when you truly repent,
but He will not remember your sins again. Many times, in my walk,
I’ve found myself trying to figure out which way I was to
go and how I was to do this or that and I made lots of mistakes.
However, I have learned many valuable lessons from my past. I
think some call it wisdom. I found it to be much easier to seek
the Lord and wait for His guidance than to make the mistake and
have to repent and suffer the consequences. The Lord wants us
to place our trust in Him. He desires us to seek His infinite
wisdom and advice. All through the Bible, the Lord instructs us
to ask the Father, in His name for everything we need and/or desire.
When we attempt to do anything without inquiring of the Lord,
we have already failed. There may be some perfect preachers out
there, but I assure you that I’m not one of them. I’m
simply forgiven. †
Bless The Lord
The
Psalmist David wrote Bless the Lord more than twenty times in
his writings of The Book of Psalms. Do you think David might have
known something back then, that we should know today? David continually
blessed and praised the name of the Lord and the Lord blessed
David in every situation he found himself in. Take time today
to bless and praise the name of the Lord. †

New
Viewers Welcome
God is amazing. I want to welcome the viewers in New Mexico,
Southern Colorado and North Western Arizona. Even though
they have been able to see us on Direct-TV, we are now airing
every Sunday Morning at 9:30 AM and every Friday night at
10:00 PM on Dish Network, Direct TV, Cable Channel 22, Cable
Channel 9 and Antenna Channel 32 on KAZQ in New Mexico covering
over 1,660,000 more viewers. We must look forward and try
to witness to everyone possible, because time is short and
Christ is coming soon. †
West Virginia Singing
Just a reminder that we will be in War, West Virginia on
August 14th, for an all day Gospel Singing, Praise and Worship
Service. We will have lots of anointed talent and good food.
We will be giving all teenagers and children a KJV New Testament
Bible, along with a small gift that will remind them of
what Jesus did for them. If possible try to be there to
help us magnify our Lord. Call or write for more details
and come join us. †
Keeping
Our Word
As Christians, we know that we are to be honest in everything
we do. I was taught at a very early age that a man is only
as good as his word. There have been many times in my life
that I didn’t keep my word and I’ve suffered
for it. I thank the Lord that we now have the Comforter
to remind us when we don’t do as we should or as we
said we would do. I believe Christians should be very careful
to listen to their vows and statements. When we tell someone
we will do this or that, guess who hears us? It’s
not only the person or people we’re talking to, but
The Lord has His ear tuned in to the conversation. He loves
us and He wants to bless us, but we have to keep our promises
and our word. Throughout the Bible, the Word tells us to
let our yeas be yea and our nays be nay. We are commanded
not to be false witnesses. If you make a vow to man or God,
be sure to do everything you can to keep that vow. Even
though Christ is forgiving, we lose blessings for our disobedience.
We should think before we speak and remember long after
the conversation is over. †

The
Word Of God
Are we to believe what the Bible says or are we to believe
what makes us feel good? I’ve been critized for years,
because of the stand I take on certain issues. I no longer
mind the critizism, I’m
getting use to it, but I feel sorry for those that choose
to ignor the Word of God, because it doesn’t seem
right to them. As one called by God to preach the Gospel,
I can only preach the actual Word of God and not what I
feel to be right. Paul said, “For though I preach
the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is
laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!”
( I Corinthians 9:16.) We must remember that in Hebrews
4:12 the word says, “For the Word of God is quick,
(meaning alive) and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The Word
of God adequately pierces the soul and spirit of man proclaiming
what man ought to be and can only be through Jesus Christ.
I believe this makes it pretty plain and simple that our
souls and spirits may not always be comforted by the Word,
but we must accept the Word of God as it’s written
even though sometimes it cuts our flesh. When standing in
the pulpit, one must lay aside personal feelings and allow
the Holy Ghost to take over and speak through the mortal
fleshly body. Paul told Timothy, in the last days, man would
not want to hear the truth, but would go seeking teachers
that would preach to sooth their fleshly ears and fleshly
hearts. II Timothy 4:3 I ask you to pray for me. †
