Said he, "Freely you have received, freely give." And yet, with all of his unbounded generosity, he was never wasteful or extravagant. He taught that you must believe to receive salvation.

The Urantia Book, (100:7.10)

Faith and hope are the foundation of belief...Without hope despair runs rampant...Darkness closes in and Faith begins to weaken...Knowing Jesus is in your heart and your spirit belongs to Him enables us to renew our faith and hope springs to our aid...To Pray with out ceasing is the only way we can hear and learn what Jesus and our spirit are telling us...Our Father in Heaven receives our hopes and dreams from His son...We must always realize that Gods Ways are pure and holy and always for our good...By loving our fellow man and speaking the gospel our hope in Christ will be realized and our salvation secured...Amen... 

FORGED IN THE FIRE

Bible Verse of the day

The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH TRIALS AND TRIBS KNOW THAT JESUS IS WALKING BESIDE YOU...THERE IS ALWAYS AN END TO SUFFERING...THERE IS NEVER AN END TO JESUS' LOVE FOR YOU...I BELIEVE MANY TRIALS ARE DEMON INVOLVED AND WE MUST SHOW ARE FAITH BY STANDING FOR JESUS AND DEFEATING THE DEVIL...FEAR IS A STRONG MOTIVATOR THAT CAN ALLOW YOU TO GIVE UP BECAUSE YOU THINK THE  WAY IS TOO DIFFICULT TO FINISH...THROUGH JESUS THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY...I STAND STRONG FOR THE LORD EVEN THOUGH MY LIFE MAY BE IN DANGER...ETERNAL LIFE IS WORTH THE PRICE...MANY TIMES OUR SELFISHNESS, PRIDE, GREED, AND LACK OF FAITH CAUSE US TO FALTER AND SUCCUMB TO THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WORLD...WE PUT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS BEFORE JESUS...WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST IN ALL THINGS YOUR PATH WILL BE STEADFAST AND SURE...HE DIED FOR US...WE DIE IN HIM...QUITE A DEAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE...THERE IS A CONSTANT SPIRITUAL BATTLE GOING ON NOW...OUR SOULS ARE IN JEOPARDY...THE THINGS WE MUST ENDURE ON EARTH ENABLE US TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOTHING THE DEVIL WILL NOT DO TO SHAKE OUR FAITH...THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE, LOSS OF PROPERTY AND SECURITY,  TERRIBLE SICKNESS...FAMINE, AND SO MUCH MORE IS BEING PERPETRATED BY THE DEVIL EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY...JESUS HAS DEFEATED THE DEVIL AND IS WALKING US THROUGH OUR TROUBLES AND THE SPIRIT WITHIN US HAS ANSWERS AND COMFORT TO SUSTAIN US TILL JESUS RETURNS...IT IS NOT EASY YET DOABLE...THE STRONGER YOUR FAITH THE GREATER THE CHALLENGES...I KNOW IF I PERSEVERE MY REWARDS WILL BE GREAT ALSO...I MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER...IT IS NOT ABOUT ME...IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS...WITH GOD...ALL THONGS ARE POSSIBLE...WITHOUT JESUS...WE CANNOT REACH THE EAR OF GOD...

thanks for blessing me birthday

   I hope my birthday was a great day for you my friends I got a birthday call from Teresa and a few howdies from family round the world...my writing is getting slack and listless lately...it is getting close to the time to remind people that I will not be going away...Love will be spinning the world a lot longer than you think....love hard and sing your praises with faith and joy...it's a commin...best be ready...love to all...keep no room for doubt...Dave...

   The previous paragraph was from my birthday last year...Here I am another year later with a stronger spirit and a greater spiritual awareness...The gospel is foremost in my daily thoughts...I still often tell people that I am here waiting on Jesus...Some have asked if I am ready...I reply I would not mind if he came this second...I am ready...The battle is in full rage and the demons do not even know they have already lost... Their lying leader will not tell them... I try to tell people when I can... Many of them cannot or will not hear my message... Persecution and carnal attacks are a daily part of my life...I am victorious in Jesus so it it impossible to defeat me...My father in heaven is for me...The devil and his minions can have the earth for now...Jesus IS coming to take it for His own soon...I sometimes find myself saddened over the ones who will not be coming with us children of the the one true God...I live in a world that is inhabited by people who think time is money when money is worthless...earth time is finite and Gods time is infinite...One thing is certain...Time will tell all...God will be right on time...

SECURITY OF YOUR SPIRIT

"When the flood tides of human adversity, selfishness, cruelty, hate, malice, and jealousy beat about the mortal soul, you may rest in the assurance that there is one inner bastion, the citadel of the spirit, which is absolutely unassailable"... Urantia...

All the carnal properties and material possessions of the world constantly assail mankind...the sheer number of things that temp mankind are significant and seemingly overwhelming at times...The spirit of Jesus placed in every heart is the only safe haven we can retreat to and feel safe...Carnal things are not spiritual and spiritual things are not carnal...When uncertainty enters your thoughts be hopeful and know that your spirit is always there and Jesus is always there for you...He has defeated death and the devil so nothing carnal the devil can throw at you will stick to the armor of God...Our father who art in heaven sent His only son to save us and make us sons and daughters of his kingdom to come...Take heart in your heart...There dwells the truth and your refuge.

I recently encountered someone who told me they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior...I had actually been in contact for about 5 years...I was ready to let them further into my life and needed to know the condition and sincerity of their heart...I can now say first hand that a demon can say things you would not expect...I always thought  demons could not say they accepted Jesus as their King...Beware and cautious of the world my friends...enjoy what beauty and love you can...Love is the Key to happiness and salvation...Do not seek worldly things for they will ensnare you in the end...God created beauty for us to experience and know who He is...His magnificence knows no bounds...You cannot keep a sunset in your wallet...The exquisite butterfly shows us the path we are to take on earth...As simple earthbound caterpillars we eat the knowledge of life until it is time to sleep in the arms of God...In time Jesus will return and set us all free to soar with the enlightenment of His grace, mercy, and pure love...After a time of great joy our father will come and end the earth and we will be with Him forever in His house...Amen...

"DEMON OR ANGEL...WE ARE ALL MADE IN HIS IMAGE"

YOU CANNOT GUARD THE SPIRIT IN YOUR HEART...I GUARDS AND TEACHES YOU
