Why Should You Listen To And Live for YWYH GOD

Answer: You'll Always Be The Top Dog

 Deuteronomy 28 1-13

Blessings for Obedience

 ¹ If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. ² All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:  ³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
 ⁴ The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
 ⁵ Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
 ⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
 ⁷ The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
 ⁸ The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
 ⁹ The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. ¹¹ The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
 ¹² The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. ¹³ The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

Deuteronomy 28 14-68 covers the Curses for Disobedience... Here is the link for the whole chapter. I like the idea of being Top Dog. If I do what is asked of by YWYH then I will not need to worry about the curses. Just remember YWYH is a GOD of LOVE he does not stand over you ready to pounce with you are doing something wrong. When you oops just go to him and ask for forgiveness and mercy. Repent and follow his word and receive his blessings.

Also follow this word. Galatians 6:1 

Doing Good to All

 ¹Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

 

 

 

Halloween or All Saints Day

Halloween is upon us, is it hocus-pocus superstition or truly Christian focused? All Hallows Eve was actually intended to be a righteous opportunity purposed in history past to commemorate old saints. So how about a little history.

Most historians trace the origin of Halloween back to the ancient and enduring Christian tradition of celebrating the lives of Christian martyrs on the anniversaries of their deaths. When Pope Boniface IV reconsecrated the Pantheon in Rome on May 13, 609 AD, renaming it the “Church of St. Mary and the Martyrs,” he established that anniversary as a day of celebratory remembrance for all of the Church’s martyrs. Pope Gregory III later changed the date of remembrance to November 1 when he dedicated a chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica to “all saints.” November 1 became All Saints Day, otherwise known as All Hallow’s Day. The night before became All Hallow’s Eve (“Halloween” being a colloquial contraction of that phrase). While Halloween began as a localized celebration, Pope Gregory IV extended its observance to all of Christendom in the 9th Century AD. As Christianity spread throughout the world, pagan holidays were either Christianized or forgotten. Samhain was absorbed into Halloween. Costumes and gifts and bobbing for apples were preserved, incorporated into the new holiday. They remain a celebrated part of Halloween to this day, many centuries later. The celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection was supplanted in the popular culture by the Easter bunny. Trick-or-treating eclipsed pious regard for Christian martyrs.

The Bible doesn’t speak directly about Halloween, but some biblical principles apply. One things is clear -- all pagan practices are to be avoided. Witchcraft, occult practices, sorcery, etc. are strictly forbidding in the Bible (Exodus 22:18; Acts 8:9-24; Acts 16, 19). It is obvious that a small child dressing up as a princess or a cowboy isn’t involving themselves with witchcraft, so what is a biblical stance on Halloween?

Parents, the decision is up to you. If you decide Halloween is something fun for your children, make sure they are kept far away from the evil aspects of Halloween. When believers participate in anything (even Halloween), their attitudes, dress, and behavior should glorify Christ (Philippians 1:27)

As Halloween approaches and before we know
The moon will be casting its golden glow.
The air will be crisp with much cooler days
The leaves full of color to brighten the way.

The fields are all full and ready to glean,
Children laugh at the pumpkins they’ve seen!
Apples are ready to pick from the trees
Then cider will promptly be made from these.

The Lord looks down on our fun Fall days
And watches about as we go on our way.
The harvest is ripe in the fields of the soul
Make sure “to glorify Him” is our goal!

Witches and monsters we close our eyes to
But Lord, open our eyes to those who need You!
Send the workers far out in the fields
Glean from their work what You’d have them yield.

Halloween time can be fun -- it’s a treat!
But do things that honor God on the streets.
Hand out tracts with your goodies this year
You never know what seeds will fall near!

A seed that will sprout and soon grow to be
Lord, another ripe harvest for Thee!
Give us words and deeds on this night
That give others peace, not fear and fright. ©Lucy Cain 8/06

Believe The Miracles...

"Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." John 10:37,38 (niv)

Let me get you the background story: It was back in the late 90's, I had developed what seemed to be a ulcer in my stomach. The symptoms were the constant heartburn, lying down would promote that bitter gaseous liquid that burned every inch of your throat coming up and going down. Setting the bed frame to create a gentle angle so I was never laying absolutely flat on the bed. Adjusting my diet to the point all I ate was tapioca pudding day and night (not even chocolate tapioca pudding). Nothing spicy or hot, no Pepsi, no chocolate, just very bland foods. If I remember right this went on for months. The doctor put me on one medicine and another to help me with my ulcer. That "purple pill" had not come out yet. Of course they ran all the test, finally they decided to go in and take a peek. My folks took my illness before our LORD (Yeshua), and the church they attended. They petitioned our Savior to heal my ulcers and give my a clean "Bill of Health". Lo and Behold HIS healing grace fell on me! When the doctors went in and took a peek they found no problems, perfect tissue absolutely no trauma to the stomach lining, no acid burns, no holes, just perfect tissue. The doctors were amazed, they sent me home and said I was health as a horse or in my case a mule... (an affectionate term my Mother used to describe my yard work for her).

So to this day I eat all the hot spicy foods that I used to enjoy before my ulcers (YES I enjoy Mexican and Chinese foods that warms you through and through.) So YES I do know of Yeshua healing grace and abundant love. I Praise HIS name and thank HIM always for that special touch. He touched be then and HE still touches me even today. If I am not healed today, It is because Yeshua is using me and my disability to HIS glory. YES I am older and the pain is not fun, I do hurt all the time, some times more than others. My Friends David and Tam keep reminding that I need to profess Yeshua's grace and healing power. They are RIGHT I do need to. This is the time that Yeshua is building my faith and giving me strength. If Yeshua chooses to heal me again HE will, If not may everyone including myself see how HE is using the disability to HIS glory, Amen. Thank you, Yeshua, and YES I do believe in YOU and in your MIRACLES you perform everyday!
