It’s always an honor to minister words of life to you. So glad that your here. At this time, We will go deeper into the word by examining that wonderful fruit or (those wonderful character traits) that belong to born again belivers. God deposited his life on the inside of you. Wow! That’s a big package. Inside your heart, waiting to be developed is the God kind of Love, the God kind of Joy, the God kind of peace. Well, lets look at the scriptures that attest to these fact. Theres even more! Galatians 5: 22. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness temperance: against such there is no law. You have an assignment. Look up scriptures throughout the New Testament that speak about these wonderful character traits of the believer. Then right them down. Now meditate on them. Mutter with your lips saying, I walk in Love, I walk in Joy, and etc for the other fruit or character traits. Take time to see yourself responding this way and no other way. And give God praise for what he is producing in your life. Don’t be shaken by flaws that appear at first. This process removes the flaws and give you a new look, a new act, with fruit so sweet, you become irresistible to all that surrounds you. In his service

Hi family of God, And prospective members.

I greet you with great tidings of his mercy and peace.
Let’s go on and learn a little more today. In this great big family of God, God has a vision. You know what his vision is? He see’s us walking in love with one another. Ohh yes. He’s see’s his church in unity and having one purpose. He’s us see’s being the glue that holds this world together until the Lord Jesus returns. And if you are beginning your walk with him, he’s see’s you walking in love so that others will be drawn to him, like you were. For when God’s people are at one, they are strong and resilient. When God’s people are one they invite the presence of God in their midsts, corporately. When God’s people are as one, there’s nothing that they cannot do. For Love is the binding tie, that’s puts the angels to work from on high. Love and unity are the threads that could raise a otherwise hopeless generation from the dead. Love unity and strength, will cause men and women once again to think, that God is in our land, see the people have responded to him, and all around will have this testimony, that God still manifest himself when we walk in love unity. So as you continue on your journey in the service of our Lord, knowing that striving and division must cease, endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3.

John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. These are the words of our Lord and Savior.

Greetings precious family of God!

The Gift Goes On

Greetings precious family of God!

There is a wonderful song sung by Sandi Patty that has a chorus that goes like this:

“The Father gave the Son
The Son gave the Spirit
The Spirit gives us life
So we can give the Gift of love
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on”
What a tremendous insight into the character of the Father. The Character Of The Son. And the Character Of The Holy Spirit. And now the insight into your new born again new character, Ephesians 5:1 says. 1. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. God’s perfect plan in your life is to be as he is. He’s a giver. And he gave us Jesus and his own Precious Holy Ghost on the inside of us. And because we were obedient to be filled to overflowing, we let his precious Spirit flow forth from us to everyone around. Oh, Oh, my, that character on the inside. It lives a breathes to give. And being directed of the Word and by the Spirit Of God, that overflowing cup spills over into the world. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son; that whosoever shall believe on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life! John 3:16. I encourage you to stay full by prayer and worship and adoration of the King. And through constant meditation upon his word. That’s makes you : A splendid mobile temple of the living God, A place where God can dwell and rest. A place where men and women, boys and girls, Of every race, in every walk of live life can receive the goodness of God through you and be blessed. Never stop giving. God will refill your vessel as you keep giving out. in his service

It’s been a little time sense I last communed with you. I trust the Lord my Savior and our Father God to keep you. Yes he is able to keep what we have committed unto him against that day. I tell you, your in good hands. And God hears and answers my prayers. Let’s see now. For those who have been following on this site. We’ve been learning to live like children of the Kingdom. Some have been newly born again. But to those new followers, we began by showing them where to start in their bible reading. The Gospel of John. Then we said to read it over and over again before they start on the other three Gospel writers. Matthew, Mark, And Luke. In review, all four Gospel writers shared an account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. They shared from different perspective giving us the whole picture. We also instructed the new believers to pray the prayers found the Ephesians 1 and Ephesians 3; putting their name in place of the Ephesian’s name. And to thank God everyday that he had answered them. You only have to ask once, but thank him daily for everything you’ve prayed. That means you must look at that prayer as your thanking him. Will talk about different kinds of praying in another post. Then, God would begin to open their understanding of the scriptures. They were also to thank God for all their brothers and sisters in Christ, that he would do the same for them. Then we taught the importance of being filled to overflowing with his Spirit. And a few more things that are on the website. Fill free to read each post and be enriched.
Okay. Alright. The Word and the Spirit agree.
Now what is meant by that? God would never allow his Holy Spirit to give you information that is against what he has already written in his word. Isn’t that wonderful. That’s a place of safety for you when you hear anyone preach or teach or say the Lord said this or that. That’s a place of great safety for you when you sense a leading in your own heart. For instance, the Lord would never tell you to do anything that what hurt your brother. So listen closely to what’s being said. If you feel like something is leading you to talk abrasively to another. Hold that. Stop and pray. Ask the Lord to help you to keep things clear in your heart. Here is one of the best ways to keep what’s coming up inside of you pure. Read 1 Corinthians 13 everyday. This is what it says: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. 2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3. If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body,a but have not love, I gain nothing.
1. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
2. Never fails. God is Love. The Holy Spirit is so Lovely. Jesus was the express image of God’s Love. You can be at peace for, God who is Love, never fails. You keep his word and he’ll keep you safe. Now I have a new assignment for you. I want you to look in the book of Colossians. It’s also written by the Apostles Paul. It was written to the church he form in the town of Colossae. In the first chapter there is a prayer starting in verse 9 and it goes through 14. Read this prayer. Compare it to the ones in the book of Ephesians, and see if you can find something different to add to your daily prayer for yourself and for your brothers and sisters in the Lord. This will enhance your prayer life. And give God a greater ability to move on your behalf. For it is his Word that he can move on to bless you. Once you’ve prayed these new things in. Thank him daily for you answers. God bless you and crown your efforts with success. Minister Alberta Richard

The Gospel of Luke shows the situation that surrounded Peter and James and John leaving all to follow him. When Jesus was on the shore and the people pressed against him to hear his word. He asked Peter could he stand in his boat. Then he asked him if he would thrust out a little from the shore. Then after he had finished teaching he said to Peter go let down your NETS for a drought. Peter let down ONE NET and he had so many fish that he could not contain them. Then his net broke. He beckoned for his partners to come help James and John. They drew so many fish that the boat began to sink. Then they left all and followed him. Is God calling you to follow him. Maybe had Peter fully obeyed his fishing business would have contuially stayed. Being able to hire more men in his place. Just a thought, stay in grace, for we know we walk by faith. Lol! He proved to them he was well able to support them. Those who know down in there hearts, he’s been calling you to start, on your journey and follow him, leave all behind. For at his banqueting table you shall work and you shall dine.
Luke 5:5-11

5 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

The greatest celebration in life, the day that I received Jesus Christ. For from then till now, and evermore, his child I am, his precious lamb. But pause today remember, yes. A bitter price, he paid. His life’s blood was that random price, upon the cross he gave his life. That cross, a bridge for you and I, to reach the Father err we die. How dark and drear that ransom paid. But now he’s risen from the grave! To all who will, they can receive, eternal life if they’ll believe. He’s not dead, he’s yet alive. Ohhh celebrate the Risen Christ

Luke 24:3-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’”

Forgiveness
Its very important that we learn to forgive. As we walk through this life, from time to time situations will present themselves to you that can appear to be wounding. As a young child in the Lord or even as a maturing adult. There are those who simply don’t care if they say or do something offensive. But as long as we keep in mind, that they aren’t being governed by the Law of Love as we are, we can successfully maneuver our souls to safety. God will try to remind you that he will take care of this if you give him the opportunity. But you must start making efforts to retain these things in your knowledge. Remember No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Isaiah 54:17. God can take the situation and turn it so that they will apologize, or remove them if necessary. He can also cause their hearts to be soften and they will want to follow you in your walk with Christ. It all depends on what your mental attitude is. But Satan would like you to hold a grudge. That in itself can become costly. We are not to be governed as the world is governed. When you refuse to forgive, it suppresses the light and the help that you could receive is hidden from you. But if you will forgive and keep a pure and loving heart, the Lord himself will fight for you. They are being governed by hurts and things that have offended them. Sometimes misunderstanding occurs that trigger their offense. We who are accountable to this Law Of Love, must become skillful in the word of righteousness so that we won’t be moved away from the Father’s guidance. Remember the words of Jesus: Luke 10:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. That can refer to people trouble as well. This being the case, we can rest and be assured that God will keeps us. And that in his perfect peace if we keep our minds stayed on him. Isaiah 26:3
Great Peace have they that love thy law and nothing shall offend them. Psalms 119:165 Center your focus and attention in the Law Of Love. You will find out that it never fails.1 Cor. 13:8
By forgiving those who have caused an offense, you keep up your guard, your shield, your defense. The place that God has set you in shall not diminish, no it will continue to increase on your part to the finish.

It’s always a privilege to share with you, the marvelous truths of God to you. Through his Son’s sacrifice, he put together a bridge, so we could be his family,
And that we would be able to live; as God’s son’s and his daughters, his very own kids lol. Oh yes it is such a privilege.
If you have been with us awhile. You have come to know that this site was created for your advancement in things pertaining to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; The ONLY way to the Father, the ONLY way to life. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me. That’s found in John 14:6. So by all means if your new, ask Jesus to come into your heart right now. He’s been waiting for you to get to know him. He’s ready to make your acquaintance.
Well, we’ve been talking about learning to live like a child of the King. Look through the teachings that I’ve previously posted. Go through them again and again and again. They will build into you comfort, confidence, and a quiet assurance, that God is for you, and he has planned your complete success in this life as his son or daughter.
We started looking at the book of John. Keep reading it and incorporate the other three Gospels. You might say that is a bit much. Lol However, the word of God is comparable to food. If we stopped eating, eventually we would become to weak That’s why everyday we eat certain vegetables, certain fruits, certain meats and starches. In doing this we ensure that our strength will remain. So your heart or your spirit needs God’s Word to remain strong daily. I see you’ve got the picture. Lol!
Okay Peace. Let’s talk about the peace of God that passes all understanding.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament. God made his peace available to any who would follow closely to him. You’ve probably heard the story of Adam and Eve. They were the first family that God had. Everything they had together was sooo wonderful, Adam was God’s running buddy. He didn’t have a care in the world. There was no care, there was no fear, there was no pain or suffering. It was heaven on earth. God had given Adam only one command. He said, you can eat Of every tree but the one in the midst of the garden.”He told him “if you eat Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will die.” He also told Adam to subdue and have dominion in all the earth. He was made in the likeness of God and in his image. So he was a powerful being just as God was. Read though Genesis chapter 1-3. In Genesis chapter 3, one that was called Satan entered the flesh of a serpent and approached Adam’s wife. (Now this is the most important information in this post.) He began to share with them that God didn’t really tell them the truth. He then said, darkening God’s character; that God knows that if you eat from the tree, you will be like God knowing good and evil. But they were already just like God, they didn’t know evil. Now they had the authority to put him out because God had given it to them. But his wife took the fruit and gave some to her husband. Then immediately their eyes were open and they saw that they were without close and then came in, fear for the first time. When they took Satan at his word, they transferred their power and authority and dominion that God had given to them, into Satan’s hands. And from that point on, their Peace was taken away. Read through Genesis chapter 1-3. If you ever have wondered why there was so much pain, so much suffering, so much misery in the world; it’s because, man who was supposed to dominate everything in this world. But he turned his dominion over to Satan. And even though God had created all things, he put it in the power of his man. Now God was on the outside looking in, and he had to get man’s cooperation so that they could work together with him and he could cover and shield man from the ravaging affects of Satan’s influences. And my brother and sister it’s the same today. If we are willing to cooperate with The Lord, he will put an umbrella of protection around us, and we can walk in this life in his peace. Then when Jesus returns, for he is coming back, we will live with him in peace forever without having to resist Satan. For he shall root Satan out completely and what a happy day that will be. In the meantime the scripture says, Great Peace have they that love my law and nothing shall offend them Psalms 119:165 He said in Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace who’s mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee Jesus said my peace I leave with you, my peace I give with you, let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid. John 14:27. Friends fill your hearts and minds with the goodness of The a Gospel always, and his peace will abide with you. Stay with me, you will learn that Jesus gave us that authority back. I will teach you how to use it. God be Praised!

So glad that you are attracted to the most lovely of all. The Lord Jesus Christ.
There are no words in the human language that can adequately express his loveliness. That’s another reason why we speak in other tongues. When we can’t find the words that fit, then we switch gears for just a little bit. Lol! We start out in our natural language with adoration and praise, then in other tongues our spirits will say, how much we love him. Well, thank you once again for coming to this site. It’s dedicated to help you excel in this life. Sometimes when I teach or preach or write, the Spirit Of God will testify, through verse and rhyme a song or ode, and he’ll unveil how one can flow. Flowing in the power of the Holy Spirit Of God, is an honor and privilege ‘‘tis so sweet, his laud.
Let’s continue our discussion on the being filled with the Holy Spirit.
As you continue in the word of God, you’ll come to understand, that only having natural knowledge is a limitation to man. The Spirit Of God has gifts. He has nine gifts that are to be distributed as he wills to those of God’s children that will desire them. Let’s look at the book of 1 Corinthians 12. But first, Let me recap a little. In the New Testament, first we have the four Gospels; written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four writers wrote of the life and ministry of Jesus from their different perspectives. Then putting them together you have a whole picture. Then the next book is called the book of Acts. This books tells what the followers of Jesus accomplished by following the great commission. There were twelve disciples plus 120 more that heard Jesus say go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. Twelve of their names are recorded in the Gospels. One betrayed the Lord. He lost his place and position. Another replaced him and thus they started out. Then there was a dramatic conversation of one who had set out to destroy the followers of the Lord, but he had a unusual encounter with the Lord and set out to serve him. His name was Saul then it was changed to Paul. All this is found in the book of Acts. And in his journeys to fulfill the great commission, he brought the Gospel to several cities. He wrote letters to the churches he established. And most of the rest of the New Testament are his letters. You have Romans after the book of Acts; that he wrote to those Christians in Rome. Then you have 1 and 2nd Corinthians he wrote to the christians in the city of Corinth. I wanted to bring you up to date so that you could understand what the books or letters or “epistles” as they are called are. You will see other books or letters with the authors names on them. But I will stop there so that we can look at the gift of the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:8-11
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Wow! Isn’t that exciting! These gifts are to help you as your following the great commission. You will want to read through the book of Acts, and see what great help they were in publishing the Gospel. You see, in the Lord Jesus’ ministry, these gifts were in operation. And the people were drawn to him because of them. In your life, as you learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. He will use you in very similar ways. Listen to what Jesus said about the gifts.
John 14:12
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”
Did you realize that Jesus wanted you to pick up where he left off? That’s exactly right. The early church begun these works but we the church in our generation shall complete them. Through diligent study of the word, and praying in your heavenly language. The Holy Spirit will reveal to you how to enter into the depths of service, and you will pick up where others have left off.

So glad you’ve returned. It’s been my greatest Joy to share and to present the majestic glorious everlasting King of Kings and Lord Of Lords, Jesus is his name. Just consider with me for a moment, he wants to spend his time with you. That should send you dancing and leaping and rejoicing all the day through. He has sent me and others as ambassador to the Kingdom of Heaven, so that you can have a clear picture of his motives and his agendas. The scripture says in the book of James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The more of the word that you study, the more you realize how much he desires to lavish his love upon you. But continue to walk close to him through prayer and your study of his word. He doesn’t want you to center your attention on the negative things in life. But on his goodness, and his ability to fix and change the negatives and turn them around on your behalf. In the Gospel of Mark, in chapter 4 we learn a key parable that Jesus says if you understand this one, you will understand the rest of them. A parable is a story that teaches a great lesson. Jesus spoke in parables many times to the crowds which followed him. Let’s look at the parable of the sower who sows the Word.
Mark 4:1
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The Lord gives the explanation of this parable down further in the chapter but let me sum it up for you.
The word of God that you are studying is the seed. Your heart is the ground the seed goes into. By continuing in his word; through study, meditation, then acting on what you receive, the word of God breaks up all that other stuff that is in your heart and roots it out. Then if you continue, it’s goes done into good soil now. ( this takes time just as a farmer wood plant seeds into the ground). At first, it looks like nothing is happing on top of the ground. But just like a regular seed, it breaks open underneath or in your heart. Then as you like a farmer continually water, keep the weeds out, ( this is done by thanking God that it is true.) then it begins to put do roots. You still haven’t seen any thing on the surface yet. But keep studying, keep meditating on his word and his word alone, that keeps the weeds out so it won’t be choked. Then you will get strong roots there. Speak only what he says about you and situations surrounding, and what you read won’t wither away. Then as you continue, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. You will see the power of his words transform you, situations around you, and a harvest of blessings shall be yours. That why Jesus said this is the most important parable of all. So make his words your words. So my dear brother and sister, keep walking hand and hand with God. Stay close tucked in to his bosom. That’s right you are being transformed by his word.
