End of the World

Greetings in the name of Jesus,
I titled this the "End of the World", because many folks are concerned about the end being upon us. In truth, we haven't even entered into the "Great Tribulation" yet. The world will not end for at least 1000+ years, because our Saviour must reign for 1000 years, as I understand years.

The end of the world is a must for each Believer in Christ. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. "The Spirit lusteth after the flesh" meaning that the Spirit wants to occuply the position of domination that our flesh now holds. There is a transformation in process in each of us. Little by little, line upon line, truth upon truth, precept upon precept in each of us. Our commitment to Christ is but the first step. Now comes the "fire" of the Holy Ghost. This fire is not the flame kind. It is the circumstance kind. In Christ, each challenging circumstance that comes into your life is a fresh trial of faith. We overcome by our faith! Not faith in our self, but faith in God Who has chosen us to believe on Jesus. The fire is, in truth, a purification process, converting us into vessels fit for His holy habitation. It is the end of our world as we knew it.

Prayer request:
My sister Mary Anne called this morning with devastating news, advising me that her husband Tex had just received report of a tumor growing and has requested intercesssion in prayer. He beat cancer about 18 years ago, and I have faith God will see him through again. He is a very godly man, great father and now grand father of 69 or so. He is a very gentle soul. Stand in agreement with us all that he will beat this also, in Jesus' Name.

King of Pop

Michael Jackson went to his reward and his memorial service was today. His service was very moving, professionally choreographed, with many of the nation's best performers singing his tunes. I was blessed watching. May his soul rest in peace.
Doreen and I are still in urgent need of a new vehicle. My wonderful brother Joel brought over an extra work van that he doesnt' need for the moment and we have been driving it around. It gets us around, but its a temporary loan only. Please stand in agreement with us for a permanent solution. We are owed some money by the county, which might be a solution. Please stand in agreement for the prompt release of those funds, in Jesus' Name.
Mom just went through a crisis. We spent a couple of days with her to help out. She really appreciated the company. She has been a continually blessing for us, and to us. She has been a smoker for 60 years and has much difficulty breathing. I keep asking the Lord to give her new lungs or to enable her to breathe easier.
My brother Jim also had kidney failure and is on dialysis. He needs a miracle of new kidneys. Is anything too difficult for our God. I think not. My son John has been investigating Pentacostalism due to the influence of a coworker, and our prayers for him. I am believing God for the revelation of the Jesus to him and his catholic family.

Bless y'all
Patrick
Thank you Jesus.

So Now What?

Still in dire need of a car. Appreciate your prayers for that!
Wow, in the past week Michael Jackson, Farrah Fauwcett, and Ed McMahon all died. They all worked so hard to acquire wealth and recognition. Jackson is reported to be worth over $236 million. Guess what? He didn't take a penny with him, and all of his fame only caused him problems. None of us is taking anything with us when we die. The only thing we can do to have anything on the other side is how we have treated Christ in the other person. Self sacrifice now is the key to position on the other side. Jesus said it this way, "He who seeks to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My name's sake shall find it.
The truth is that your body is only a bag holding the real you. We are spirit beings inhabiting fleshy bodies. This body is disposable, and easily destroyed.
It sure is easy to die. A guy was sitting in a barbar shop this morning in Auburn, getting a nice friendly haircut. Suddenly, a car came crashing through the wall and got him. Eternity is here and now. The Kingdom of Heaven is within each of us. Lets go it all the way. Put on Christ or go to hell!

The Condition

Hi There,
Today is June 3 and wife and just returned from grocery shopping. I spent all we had except for $3. That is enough for one gallon of gas. We are in God's capable hands and He shall certainly provide for all of our needs.
Car is dead and needs new engine.
The NWO is becoming more manifest. Keep your eyes open for "sustainable".
That is the New World Order catchphrase. If its not sustainable, than it is disposable.
It appears that the economy is recovering a bit. I know by the Spirit that this is nothing more than a temporary pause. I expect that in the 4th Quarter things will start declining again.
What we are witnessing is a resurgance of the spirit that drove Adolf Hitler in the 1930's. God told me that this same spirit had taken up habitation in the United Nations. I believe that we will continue to see enhancements in the power of the executive branch.
I have read of the construction of remote prisons.
I expect to see the declaration of Martial Law this year sometime. I expect to see a massive increase in strong arm robberies, thefts, and bank robberies.
In addition, I expect to see a huge increase in inflation which is nothing less than a continued decline in the purchaseing power of the dollar.
God says to pray that you may be accounted worthy of escape the trial which is coming on all flesh.

Yesterday....

What do you know. Today is a brand new day. All of your yesterdays, and your confessed sins are cast from you. If you were not a Jew, God has not been inputing sin unto you. Why? Because you were never under the Law of Moses. Once you believed in Jesus, you were given Eternal Life to dwell within you. God even gave His Holy Spirit to you. What are you going to do with it. Be like me? Beleive it or not, I am stoned a lot, so I pretty much keep to myself. " He who keeps to himself, seeks his own desire.". Only person's who I am in communication with are my Mother in Law, my brother Joel, and occasionally Doricia, a Sister Bud. That meeans she is my buddy in Christ, as well as my sister. My wife is also my sister. Confusing to you pagans I'll bet. I am not saved by my good works, my inherent goodness, or anything I did, except believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask Him to get on the throne of my heart and stay put. Somehow, my old man keeps appearing alive. When, I reckon I'll hear from you about this, maybe. Is it my good behaviour that saves my soul, or the sacrifice of Jesus on that cross 2000 years ago? By grace are ye saved through faith, not by works, lest any man should boast, and that not of yourself. It is the gift of God.. Thank you Father, I receive your free gift. Let me be accounted worthy to avoid that test which is coming on all flesh. In Jesus' Name,,,, Amen

Through the Fire

Jesus promised never to leave us nor forsake us, and that He would be with us "through the Fire".

Every human being on planet Earth goes through refining fires. For the Believer, the challenges are always to one’s faith. It seems the crisis arises out of nowhere, and the Spirit realm waits to see what comes out of the victim’s mouth. God warns us that “blessing and cursing are in the power of the tongue.”
A report of a tumor has come to me from my wife.
She believes that a tumor she had removed four years ago has returned. She is experiencing some discomfort from it, and I believe she is a little frightened. For me, this also is a challenge to my faith. I choose to believe the report of the Lord. His report says, “by His stripes, ye were healed”. I refuse to budge from that position, and I will fast and pray for a good report.
I am writing this blog to ask for you to please uphold us in prayer. She has no job and no health insurance. I only have Medicare which does not cover her. We are also currently without a running car. I am broke, housebound, with an unemployed stepson camped out 24/7 in the living room. He is not a believer and needs born again. He also has no driver’s license or transportation.
Although our circumstances look bleak, God declares that He will cause them to bring great good into our lives. His Word says, “All things work together for good for them that love the LORD and are the called according to His purpose.” I believe Him and I believe something good will come out of these struggles. Please stand in agreement for a few miracles for this household. That includes, a disappearing tumor, and the appearance of a good car (must be a gift), and a new direction for Vernon.
Your servant in Christ

Give Thanks

Greetings Y'all,
Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a note or something so I know this isn't just a flat waste of time.
I have been struggling to keep my head screwed on, and really seeking God's help.
1. Wahing machine died. God put it on a Brother's heart to buy one for us. God bless him 100 fold for his kindness to us.
2. Got signed up to reduce property taxes. The tax master discounted the real estate taxes by nearly 66%. Someone paid that tax bill for us also. Thank you God.
3. Septic system in yard was failing. This is a Very Expensive problem. God put it on someone's heart to pay for that as well. If and when we sell the home, that will be reimbursed.

All I can say is "Thank you Lord!" Bless those who have given unto You by giving unto us.

God is Great!
