What is your faith built on ? HOW ARE YOU WHEN THINGS REALLY GET TOUGH?(Heb 12:26) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. (Heb 12:27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Are you building up your most holy faith on the rock ? The time to think about doing it is over. People talk about a great revival coming. My bible speaks of a great falling away, and perilous times. When things really get shakey and they will, you wil need some power in Jesus to stand. Faith begets faith, try your faith and see what I mean. Lay hands on the sick folk and call on Jesus name and see them healed, then dont stop go on to something greater! Rebuke the devil out of your house in Jesus name,then watch a peace that passes all understanding move in. Dont stop go on to greater things. We have to keep our faith working on the front burner of our lives , so we will be ready for anything.Keep your faith alive. Faith that doesnt work is dead. When you get close to death, whether it be an accident or a sicness, or just a close call how will your faith be. Some say I hope Im prayed up when that happens. My point is we had better stay prayed up.No man knows the day or the hour, or if there will even be a tomorrow. Are you ready ? Stir up your faith and make sure. Dont wait and just think about it, you may not have what you think you have.(Mat 7:21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Mat 7:22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (Mat 7:23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Mat 7:24) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (Mat 7:25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Mat 7:26) And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: (Mat 7:27) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. OUCH ! I want to hear him say enter in, not depart from me.Get ready and stay ready. We need our senses exercised through use just like our faith, put it to use.God bless us all, Pastor Rick press in
November 07 after the visitation-- did you forget?After a visitation---- Did you forget?
Where do you go after a visit from the Lord? You know after youve prayed so deep you hear Jesus speaking to you? Somtimes people begin making promises while in Gods presence, like I will go any where or do anything. Then after the visitation they forget the promises they made. So then what happens when , they "go their own way".Somtimes absolutely nothing. Thats not always a good thing, check this out.After a visit from Jesus:(Joh 21:3) Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.Peter decided to go back to work, and other disciples went with him.And they caught nothing. Jesus didnt call them to fish for fish and I think they forgot. And then they got a reminder that just because they couldnt see Jesus ,he was right there in the middle of there business.(Joh 21:4) But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.(Joh 21:5) Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.(Joh 21:6) And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.My point is, if nothing else we are all called to be fishers of men. If we forget our promises we made to Jesus and go our own way, nothing may happen. That could be really bad. Just because we cant see or feel Gods Spirit all the time,dont forget he is, right in the middle of your business.He decides if you prosper a little or alot.I would love to need an extra boat and the help of all my friends to bring all that God has blessed me with to shore. Thing is Jesus wants that too!(Joh 21:8) And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.(Joh 21:9) As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.(Joh 21:10) Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.(Joh 21:11) Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.(Joh 21:12) Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.JESUS SAID COME AND DINE ! wow! Thats what Im talking about. lets all try to get back to business.(Eph 3:17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,(Eph 3:18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;(Eph 3:19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.(Eph 3:20) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,(Eph 3:21) Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.Amen,Pastor RickConfidence
FIRE(Jas 3:5) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!(Jas 3:6) And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.(Jas 3:7) For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:(Jas 3:8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.(Jas 3:9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.(Jas 3:10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.(Jas 3:11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?(Jas 3:12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. |

Praise the Lord, Im trying to encourage some one out there feeling weak and hopeless. Be of good cheer and know there is hope.I could tell you Jesus wont put anymore on you than you can handle. But you already know that, or I could tell you that when it gets tough the way maker will give you a way out.But you already know that. If your waiting to go through the great tribulations and, wondering how you will survive. You wont have to. Let me show you some thing in Revelations you will notice that while all the great tribulations are being pured out on earth we are already in heaven. Keep in mind John saw a door open only once before he saw the church praiseing Jesus. The door opened chapter 4:1 he also heard a trumpet saying come up hither, then slowly the 3.5 yrs of tribulations start and he carefully documents everything that happens, and never mentions another trumpet call or another door open. STILL CHAPTER 7 SAYS|
