Theme:
Salvation: Restoration of the soul.
Jesus came to save mankind from sin the result is to bring all men back into a relationship with God as their Father. Mankind sinned and sin separated men from their “good” and “right” relationship with God. Sin caused men to have broken minds. A man’s mind is not sound without God for all soundness of mind, all life, all good things come from God. Without the ability to go to God and ask for his grace, his favor, his love, man is lost to know what to do, how to live, what their purpose is, etc. The earth and the fullness of it all belong to God and to have anything on this earth even your very lives, you must ask God’s permission. It is exactly like a child living under their parents roof. The parents own everything in the house; children must obey their parents rules. The parents are the authority figures. (Prerequisite: As long as the parents are obeying God and love the child with God’s love.) The earth is God's and all men must obey his laws and do everything the right way.
Thought for the day:
God’s laws are also called God given rights for the protection of all, to show forth God’s love and deliverance from sin, (crime.)
Mother’s Day Sermon
Many people don’t know that I felt called by God to be a minister when I was a young teenager. Michelle and I have been blessed by God to have a very loving mother who encouraged us and helped us to find the Lord on our own. You’ve probably seen our Virgin Diaries, but we do not wave a flag saying “look how awesome I am,” but please LOOK HOW AWESOME GOD IS! His desire is that EVERY child grow up free from domestic violence and abuse,(sin), and although we had abuse going on by other relatives- we were never sexually molested. This is very much a miracle, however my heart has always cried for those who have been abused. God wants everyone to know that what happened to them was wrong and when we come to know Him then His power is there for us to get those abusers out of our lives, see them punished for what they did, and heal our minds and hearts! (John 3:16)
This here is something I hope can set a lot of those who have been molested, (any abuse, forced against your free will) free- in their minds and hearts-(Jesus came to set the captives free) First off- IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT- the guilt you feel should go back on your perpetrators! God is a God of Justice- it’s okay to want justice as it is different from vengeance- You want Justice, they had no right, (under God), to hurt you, and so that the same thing doesn’t keep happening- your story can be told and whoever hurt you or the people doing wrong must be punished- that is God’s way- so another helpless little boy or girl doesn’t have to cry themselves to sleep at night feeling the loss of self-respect. Fairly recently, here in Cincinnati a man went to jail for molesting a 9 month old baby- a baby- really- my Grandmother was shocked at this story- what could a man want with a baby? Listen, just as God, (and all sound minded individuals), wants that man locked up and out of society so he can’t hurt anyone else- so God wants anyone who hurt you to be locked up. God cares, good men and women in society care, we all want to see you have closure… On with the show!
John3:16
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”
Luke 4:18-19 taken from Isaiah 61:1
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
The Year of the LORD’s Favor
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

Jesus came to save our souls. (Minds) So what exactly does that mean? It means to be Redeemed! The devil has no rights, no power over you! Jesus is Love, He is Truth and to be redeemed is to have this power working IN you.
The Truth Will Set You Free: Think it clearly through. All angles, all sides like an cube.
John 8: 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
When you receive Salvation, your mind is in a couple places, it isn’t whole . It will feel like it is shattered and like Humpty Dumpty- it will never be put together again.
Isaiah 58:6
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
In Isaiah 58, Jesus makes us whole. You may still feel oppressed and broken after receiving Christ but it is a feeling not the Truth! The Bible says to “Let love have it’s perfect work in you.”
Isaiah 1-1
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound”
Three things will last forever - faith, hope and love - and the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13
James 1:4" But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
The Bible also tells us that we need to separate ourselves from the world and God will heal us.
"And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Because of this, come out from among them, (get away from unbelievers), and be separated from them, says THE LORD JEHOVAH, and you shall not touch the impure thing, and I shall receive you, (be your father and heal you, make everything alright again)" 2 Corinthians 6:17
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Godlessness in the Last Days (Most Wealthy Americans, the move industry, and many more, insert your own list here, we all know them)
Godlessness in the Last Days (Most Wealthy Americans, the move industry, and many more, insert your own list here, we all know them)
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
Seek God’s TRUTH in everything. Seek JUSTICE! Seek the Gospel!
Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow- Isaiah 1:17
What is the Gospel- The Gospel IS: I am Forgiven! I never, never, never, had to suffer anything!!!
I was SUPPOSED to be LOVED by EVERYONE for ALL are called to be saved! (Do right, live morally.) Jesus suffered death, beatings, etc. He suffered this for ALL MANKIND! For Me! Jesus suffered, ( an example of Christ suffering: He ran out and threw himself in front of a car, took the hit, pushed me out of the way, to save me so I could have a wonderful full life.) I don’t have to suffer.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
NO ONE HAD THE RIGHT from God to hurt me! God has given us LAWS to PROTECT US!
God has given mankind (US) LAWS TO PROTECT US! They had NO RIGHT to do this and God will punish them!!
God’s laws are also called God given rights for the protection of all, to show froth God’s love and deliverance from sin, (crime.)
“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you”- 2 Thessalonians 1:6
You have to eventually get to the place where you FEEL God IN YOU is STRONGER than THEM! That makes YOU STRONGER than them, even at 2 & 3 yrs old.
See God’s LOVE FOR YOU!
Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John1:4-1-6
Test the Spirits
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
God’s love is SUPERNATURAL and able to throw those people off of you!
By seeing them as beneath you:
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them, Deuteronomy 28:13
You throw them off of you by judging them truthfully, as God sees evil men, as cowards: Bullies are cowards, as are abusers!
Revelation 21 7" He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the cowards, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
You can see them as they are- WEAK AND LOWER than ANYTHING ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. They are filthy, dirty, and unclean! It can be VERY PAINFUL…But DON’T RUN! Don’t run when old memories surface- But rather, FEEL IT. Let God SUPERNATURALLY turn your thoughts to BE HEALED!
(The abuser exaggerates, he wants you to see them as all powerful, the opposite is true. People in sin are weak, the sin makes them weak people)
"and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed. Hebrews 12:13
"The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1
Being sexually abused is NO BIG DEAL! Wait, Wait- you say… See, the WORLD makes it into a big deal--- they make it TOO BIG of A DEAL TO DEAL WITH AND IT’S NOT!!!!
There are 1,000’s of ways a perverted, twisted human being can violate another person’s SPACE- i.e., their body/thoughts/etc. We all have a PERIMETER around us that OTHERS CANNOT CROSS! BUT THEY DO! It is called TRESPASSING! They have NO RIGHT into OUR lives, minds, wills, emotions, personal property, Etc.
This is Jesus, The Bible talking about the person who abused, oppressed, broke into your life illegally, the criminal. Etc
.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way is a thief and a robber." John 10:1
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way is a thief and a robber." John 10:1
Jesus said- he is the Only ONE allowed in YOUR SPACE- for he is kind, giving, caring, healing, loving in EVERYWAY- he only GIVES to US OF HIMSELF AND HIS LIFE- he does not take!
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. who loved me and gave himself for me.
Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
The Bible says the thief finds another way in and it is wrong! Abusers go around this natural law- getting into your space, but through Christ we can be set free.
33 They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
Again, John 10:1
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way is a thief and a robber."
1Corinthians 6
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers of themselves with men, effeminate
10 Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.
11 And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.
With God as your Father, the truth and suffering of Jesus, his Word and with the leading, comforting, and guidance of the Holy Spirit- you can get this person or that person out of your life who wants to rob you of your freewill and make you obedient to their lust to serve them.
And then you can tell them
I’m NOT MY OWN, my Lord Jesus BOUGHT ME WITH A PRICE!”
Revelation 21 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the cowards, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Zephaniah says he will quiet you by his love. Tell yourself over and over and over again: CALM DOWN, IT WILL BE OK, WE CAN GET OVER THIS AND MAKE IT LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. Healed, sound minded again. God will make everything ok, right again, calm down.

Psalms 27:13-14
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
Psalms 31 For the oppressed, abused, persecuted, slandered, etc.
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
4 Free me from the trap that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;
redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols;
I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
8 You have not handed me over to the enemy
but have set my feet in a spacious place.
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,
my soul and my body with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish
and my years by groaning;
my strength fails because of my affliction,
