Don't Worry.

Hey everyone. Just had a thought I wanted to share with y'all. There is a story 'bout a man named Paul who was a strong Christian. Once he was ship wrecked on an island. While gathering wood for a fire, he was bit on the hand by a viper. Everyone became afraid and thought for sure that Paul was a dead man, but Paul simply shook the snake into the fire and kept right on gathering wood. I always thought of this as a proof of truth of what Jesus said 'bout treading upon the serpent and the scorpions in aparable. But it means so much more. Everybody was WORRIED and thought for sure that Paul was a goner. This shows that the Devil can use worry to pull you down. If Paul would've listened to the people around him and not trusted in God to do what He said He would do, he could've died 'cause the snake was extremely venomous. We can put this into spiritual perspective. When Satan tries to cause you to worry, shake him off and trust in the promises of God. He won't let you down no matter what. So don't worry; trust in God instead.

Going Through the Valley
Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've written. Things have been pretty hectic. I just wanted to give a thought out. I don's know about y'all but whenever I get a cold I feel so releaved after it goes away. That's what I feel like spiritually right now. God has brought me threw so much lately that I just feel really blessed. In Psalm 23 God tells us that He will bring us "threw the valley of the shadow of death". That was a promise God gave directly to His children. If you feel like you're at the end of your rope, hold on and tie another not in your rope because God promised that He would deliver us from all adversities. Don't give up trust Jesus. He'll never let you down. Well I'll talk to y'all later. Hunter E. Barber

Have Faith

I don't know about everyone else out there, but for me these two words lately have been the hardest thing that I've needed to do. The reason I say this is because ever since the end of May I've been in a dark valley. And I should have already gone through the other side, but I failed God. When I should have been trusting Him I doubted instead. And from there I just continued to make mistakes and I felt like I had backslid and I got mad at God. I felt like He had left me in the dark, but truly He was there with me the whole time. But I continued to doubt Him. But even when I doubted God He was still there for me. He's opening my eyes to how great He truly is. If anyone is struggling and you feel like your all alone, know this that God said in

Hebrews 5:13 "Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, 'I will never fail you. I will never forsake you.' that is why we can say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper, so I will not be afraid. What can mortals do to me.' " NLT

It was once said that we are all entering a great fight. If Jesus is our personal savior then we'll win for sure. But then we here our Adversary telling us that we'll never beat him, but why should we be intimidated. After all we're just fighting an amateur. Trust Jesus! You'll never regret it. And don't let Satan confuse you. If he has already, just ask God for help
Satan can't fight my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Your Brother in Christ,

Valleys are just distances from one mountain top to the other.

Have you ever been going through a tough time in life and it seemed as if it would never get better. It's tough to see the positive side of things when everything seems so negative. You fell like things will never get any better, and you're losing all hope. Ezekiel 37:1-14 tells us how Israel, God's chosen people were like dry bones. Things weren't going so well for them and they were in a valley, a valley of dry bones. But God didn't leave them that way, He brought revival to Israel and the dry bones were sewn together, skin and muscles were put on, and God breathed the breath of life back into Israel. He did it hundreds of years ago and He'll do it today. I know. Jesus is helping me to the top of my next mountain. He has never given up on anyone, Will you give up on Him? Trust Jesus. HE won't give up on you; leave all your sins, mistakes, and failures at the cross and he will wipe your slate clean. Trust Him today. You will not regret it. God is faithful to forgive even the backslider.... I know, He forgave me.

" What does Hell have that you Want?"

My daddy saw these words on a church billboard one day, "What does Hell have that you want?"
We have got to ask ourselves, "Why", "Why do I watch movies with cussing, violence, and crude humor in it: why do I always half to be a smart mouth: why am I always being rebellious?" The answer is that it's a choice that only you can make. When the Devil tempts you, ignore the temptation and ask God to help. He'll help. The Bible says in James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. So I encourage everyone, Trust in Jesus and ignore the devil you want regret it. Until next time, 'bye.

We are His
Have you ever felt like you were spiraling to sharp rocks and about to be completely destroyed? I've been there. It is tough. You think that you've backslid, turned your face from God, and now you're all alone. You feel like no one cares about you much less loves you. But that's not the case. Jesus always will love you and care about you. He loves you so much that He came and died for you. You now can live with Him forever. All you have to do is give your life to Him. Trust me, He'll never leave you alone. He loves you. So put your trust in Him. I've just come through the greatest storm I have ever been through. The Devil put his plan into order to destroy my life,but PRAISE GOD, Jesus stood up and said, "Not so fast. He is mine. You can't have him." So now I'm free from everything that had bondage around me. You can be freed as well. Just trust in Jesus. He want let you down.

You are a Soldier

If you have given your life to Christ Jesus you are a soldier in His army. It's not an army like today where you receive a gun or a different weapon. You are fighting in a battle however. Every day that you wake up the battle begins, and the tough part is, most the time you don't see your enemy until he's attacking you. So how can you be ready for an attack. You put on your spiritual armor. In Ephesians 6:10-18 it says, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole aromor of God, that ye may be able to stand against all the wiles of the Devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preperation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the sield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And taking the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" As the Word says you have got to put on your armor. And you can't say, "Woa! I don't want to be in any army, sorry." because you're in an army if you like it or not. You're either on God's side or you're on Satan's side, but you can't be on both. I'm not going to say that being on God's side is going to be easy 'cause it's not. But it is the most rewarding. A soldier has got to be prepared when he goes into battle, are you prepared for the battles that are ahead? The only way you'll get through these battles is by trusting in Jesus.

Salvation

Where would you be right now if Jesus came back 5 seconds ago? Would you be here left to wonder what was going on or would you be worshipping Jesus in His kingdom? If you're not sure or even know for certain that you wouldn't be with Jesus, odds are you might not be where you need to be in your relationship with God. And if you think of God as a myth, you are wrong. He's as real as the sky. The story of Jesus is simple. He left heaven and came to earth in the form of a man, walked with man, and even died for man. That's right. Jesus paid the price for our sins. You see Jesus isn't just another man that lived 2,ooo years ago, He is the only begotten Son of the only ture and living God. Jesus come in the form of a man at a time that we now celebrate as CHRISTmas. Christmas is actually His birthday. Then He ministered on the earth for 33 years before His death. He walked on water, healed a leper, healed the lame, the blind, and the sick. He was God in a human body. His mission in life was to give eternal life in the place of eternal death. The way He made it possible for a sin ridden man to be saved was by making a sacrifice. This Sacrifice was actually His own life. He was beaten, mocked, whipped, a crown of thorns was thrust on His head, He was nailed through His hands and His feet, He was speared through His side, and the truth is we should have been the ones experiencing all these sufferings. But He did it for us. He did it because He loves us. When Jesus died on the cross He made a way of escape for us. But he didn't stay in the grave, because on the third day in the tomb He left the grave and came back to life. You see He defeated the Devil and Gave us perfect liberty. So Jesus is not dead, He is alive.We were all heading for a place called Hell because we have sin in our hearts, but when Jesus died He made a way for us to have eternal life. But we are still seperated from him. See we aren't one of His family members yet. The way you become a child of God is by giving your life to God. And it is a covenant a life long covenant. If you want to give your life to God, Here is a prayer you can pray, "Dear Jesus, please forgive me for being a sinner and for refusing your gift of love for so long. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died to save me from my sins. I accept You as Lord and Savior over my life. Please come and live in my heart and make me Your child. In Jesus name, Amen." Welcome to the family of God.
