Our beloved GOD doesn’t send anyone to hell.

Hello friends!

I have heard many people say that GOD sends people to hell. And that HE hates mankind. This is not true. GOD is a loving, perfect FATHER GOD. If HE were not, then why would HE send JESUS to save our souls?

When you think about it, GOD sent JESUS to save the world and not to condenm it? Did not JESUS come to save all of mankind from our sins? And what about the sacrifice that was made on the cross and the death of JESUS on the cross?

JESUS is a gift from GOD. Our ever loving perfect GOD, who loves us so much that HE sent JESUS as a gift from heaven. A way out of this world into GODs world in heaven. Where there is perfect love and peace for all of eternity long.

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

King James Version (KJV)

Why would our beloved FATHER GOD send us such a precious gift such as HIS only son down to earth to suffer so by the very hand of whom HE came to save?

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 John 4:19 – We love him, because he first loved us.

Isaiah 41:13 – For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

1 John 4:10 – Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Romans 8:35-39 – Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?   

Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

1 John 4:8 – He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Galatians 2:20 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

1 John 3:1 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Zephaniah 3:17 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

John 15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ephesians 3:19 – And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now the devil is telling making lies again as he had done to Eve in the garden of Eden to have her sin against GOD by lieing. And every time there is a chance the devil will lie to get mankind to turn away from GOD, JESUS and all that is Holy by GOD. Telling people that GOD hates them. Now see if GOD did hate us , we all would have been sent to hell.

But those who choose to turn away from GOD, and HIS son JESUS will be turned away at the gates of heaven too. If we reject the one who loves us perfectly and unconditionally at all times….then because we choose to leave from HIM, HE will still leave us alone. GOD is not going to force HIS self on any us if we dont want HIM in our lives. And the very lives HE gave us mind you.

John 15:13

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

King James Version (KJV)

Faith , trust and believing GODS word as true will encourage you. How will we know the truth of we dont read it for ourselves? Turning away from GOD and HIS son JESUS because you feel your sins wont be forgiven is wrong. Reading the Bible will show you all of the people who have sinned and repented and was saved. Starting from Genesis to Revelation.

The disciples in the Bible were not perfect men, they were common men. The woman at the well, the woman that was to be stoned for commiting adutlery. The Bible is very clear about these people. And they choose JESUS and was forgiven. King David was a man who sinned too and was forgiven. GOD loved them and forgave them.

Choose JESUS, repent and be saved. And HE will choose you at the gate of heaven and let you in.

Peace and blessing be to you!

Ezra 8:23 KJV. Fasting and prayer!

Hello all!

I do hope all is well and as we give our GOD another thank-you! For another day here on this side of heaven to give GOD praise thanking him for all HE has done. Praise and glory be to GOD almighty now and for all of eternity long. It is so good to know we all have a perfect and loving FATHER GOD watching over all of us each and every single day.

I want to share with you what I am learning about fasting in this current day for me right now. I am fasting with two of my children under this Bible application. I will say that I do find it very helpful with the scripture that was chosen. We are in day 7 of our fasting and I am doing my fast according to the fact that I am working and starting off eating so light straight off the bat will make me light headed and not keep at it.

This is the app we are using for the 21 day fasting.
This is the page that will show what devotionals you will need to read each day.

For even doing the fast by skipping even one meal for me and anything that is not allowed in the fast is just a beginning. We are praying for the areas that we need help in besides for all members of the family that we will need help in.

Picture is from this site. https://www.21dayprayer.com/daniel-fast You all may already have the information you need to get going. This is to help with what to eat and not to eat.

Matthew Chapter 6

16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

I will say that getting closer to GOD and HIS son JESUS is a lifelong learning experience. Even when you think you have learned what you can understand for your age…something else will test you to give you wisdom. I recall many of Pastors will humbly say that they are continuing to learn more of what GOD is in need to show us so that we can be better minsters to others.

https://www.21dayprayer.com/daniel-fast

We all need to learn all each day, I will not assume that me as a human that was created by GOD the creator knows as much as HE.

This is an bonding and cleansing time for me, and with the scriptures that I am reading right now, even though I may have read them times before there is a new meaning or understanding that is learning for each of this as we are going through our day. Distractions will come that to turn your head away from the FATHER GOD and JESUS which is annoying! But we will always turn back onto the road of righteousness heading for our GOD and JESUS.

Ezra 8:23

“So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.”

King James Version (KJV)

Have your Bible with you so you can look up scriptures on your own and feel GOD and JESUS with you, and be able to talk to them as though you can see them as well feel their mighty presence ! Praise GOD!

Missing the fellowship due to COVI-19.

Hello everyone! I do hope you will have a blessed Easter in spite of the covi-19 pandemic right now. It can not stop us from praying, and for some it may make us pray even more!

Mt.Sinai Church of GOD in Binghamton New York. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1008875159143705

We are home from going to Church today and I tell you I do miss the fellowship and hearing the word from the Pastor of which ever Church my husband decides we go to on Sundays. We attend the local Churches and those that are not too GOD willing once we are able to travel again to them!

It is not the feeling of being shut in, it is the feeling of being safe and sound from whatever is going on with the virus that has affected the whole entire planet.

Some people are being led closer to GOD because of the issues of the day for right now. Some of the people I know will need to collect unemployment for right now until the situation is done with the virus and the companies can rehire people back to pay their bills.

First Christian Church of kirkwood. They will be moving from this location to the Little white Church in kirkwood shortly this month. 4-5-2020.

You can not know too many people who love the LORD. This is one of the reasons as to why we go to more than one church. We love to travel when we are able to. (right now due to the covi-19 pandemic we stay local.) Each pastor has his own way on delivering the message from GOD. Each Pastor has his own personality that will touch whomever needs to be touched by GOD’s words to lead them to HIM.

Only one man who ever walked the face of the earth can claim it, our LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Romans 3:23

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

King James Version (KJV)

Good day everyone I pray that all is well with you and that our beloved GOD is always watching over you to guide you all in what you do and go.

http://christianfunnypictures.com/2016/02/do-you-have-a-holier-than-thou-attitude.html

Have you ever met a person who claimed to be Christian , knowing you are one will compare to see who between the two of you is more Holier than the other? I have met people like this. And those who where non Christians that thought that all Christians were judging them or others. They assume we all think we have an holier than thou way of thinking.

Not so. Not one person can say they know all peoples heart except GOD.

I must say this, as a person who wants to make it into heaven into our ever loving FATHERS house……I confess that I can say I am a sinner. As it is will all mankind, womankind, and of all ages. For only JESUS was perfect and without sin.

How can one assume they are Holier than thou in the first place when if they know JESUS came to earth to save all mankind souls who believe in him? See, there were no righteous men who could do what he was able to do?

Romans 3:10

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

King James Version (KJV)

If we as Christians do this to each other, then the secular world will see it and have an excuse as not to follow JESUS for not wanting to be treated as such. And with seeing how secular people may treat each other…..they will stay in the place of non-belief where they are and not be saved. For they will see that the world they are in is not any better.

Bible verses related to No One Is Perfect from the KJV


James 4:11-12 – Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.   (Read More…)

Ephesians 4:32 – And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Luke 6:31 – And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

Romans 2:1-4 – Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.   (Read More…)

Ephesians 4:26 – Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 2:6-8 – Who will render to every man according to his deeds:   (Read More…)

Mark 11:25 – And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I am hoping that all of us who have been judged by others who feel that they were made to feel less HOLY than the person who is a Christian will not take it as they are being condemned to hell because they said so. Just so you know it is GOD, and GOD alone who is the judge as to who is allowed into HIS house.

This is why it is good to read the word and to study it. Right there in the Bible it will tell you the plan GOD has for us all to follow. And to accept HIS son JESUS as savior is the key to heavens gate. JESUS is the key because he was sent by GOD as a sacrifice to save all mankind who believe and live by GOD’s plan. JESUS is part of GOD’s plan for peace, love, joy, and no more negative issues of this world to steal your happiness.

In GOD’s timing, we will be called home to HIS house if we are saved. Once saved, we will all see heaven together. There we can enjoy being with HIM, JESUS , the Angels and all of those that was called before us.

Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)

May you all have a blessed day, encourage one another. If someone approaches you who is on fire for the LORD and they seem like they are acting “Holier-than-thou”, give them a chance to see if all they are doing is letting you know the good news of the gospel.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog with the words from the Bible and the posts! Pass it forward and share the blessing!

Peace!
