    GOD COULD NOT SAVE MANKIND???



    WE must be recreated,BORN AGAIN!A 2nd birth! Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Eze 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Gal 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. 1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. One is BORN of GOD,The other is sinfull Our spirits must take control over our flesh . The spirit is most powerful There was a man ,who started a news paper here .He had a contest in it and gave 50.00 to the winner each week .He hid a bee ,about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide somewhere in this city .He gave 3 clues .Well each week ,for about 2 months ,we won every week .HE asked after about 3 weeks ,HOW DO WE FIND IT ?I said we ask the HOLY SPIRIT .HE TELLS US . HE said he was a christain ,But was a little shocked .He tried to make it harder ,Now one wek someone else did get it .But after a while this man told me ?I can not have this contest ,because you guys are always getting it .So he quick it and gave us the bee .I have it on my desk . BUT try the HOLY SPIRIT ?HE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING on EARTH ,and teach you anything good .If this blesses one person ?I"LL be happy .As HE IS WONDERFUL and a GREAT BLESSING TO ME and OTHERS who fine the TRUTH and use it to the GLORY OF OUR LORD . bully, When I came to the lORD ,My wife told me shortly after ,I was once very proud of you .you never feared any man or men .But now ,your no longer a man .You let anyone miss treat you and say anything .I said honey ,the LORD does not like men hurting men .Then there was this big guy .he went from church to church ,I would see him at our church at times or church where we had sing ins .You would put your hand out to shake and this guy would hit you in the belly .knoc some people down .he didn"t care if you were the pastor or any body .he hit me a few times .never knock me down ,but it did not feel good .he said the lord told himto hit people .Well some time I went with my church and pastor to a town about 50 miles away for a sing in .I had a fever about 103 or more was sweating bad .sitting in this church ,the pastor ask me to go to the bus and get a certain song book .I said yes and went out .on the way .this young guy about 25 and his wife had pulledin and parked, and and he called me over .I was not thinking well .He put out his hand .so I did .He hit me hard in the belly .Before I knew it .I had hit him in the belly and was had my arm pulled back to hit him again .which he was on his knees .his wife screamed .I kind of woke up and seen what I had done ..I said brother GOD does not want you hitting people .you need to stop this evil .And he was making some wining sounds .I went and got thye song book and walked past him ,stikll on his knees .and said the same thing .I went ion gave the book to the pastor and my fever left . I saw him the following sunday at our church .I put out my hand .he shook it as with every one else .i never saw him hurt anyone again . Once I was riding in a car .With a guy .He told me ?He killed 11 people .He started telling me how he killed some .I said ,You are evil .Someday ,you will stand before GOD crying about this .He will tell a big angel to put you in the fire .You will beg for mercy and 10,000 years from now .You will still be begging and crying .He pulled the car over .Reached under his seat .And had a 357 pointed it at me and shook all over .Trying to pull the trigger .After a bit .He put it under the seat .again I told him the same thing .He pulled over and tryed to kill me again .after a short time .He started driving again .I would say ?GOD even protects us from our selves . Man said he could destory me Once I painted a mans condo.He paid me and seemed very happy .He told me ?Gary I have a hobby .I said ?What is that ?He said I destory people .I said is that a joke ?He said no .I have destoryed many powerful people .And you know the wall paper .You said you do not do .He said you must go and try to fix it for free or I will destory you .I said sir had you ask me nice ?I may have tried to fix it .But you have just told GOD .HE CAN NOT PROTECT ME .I belong to GOD .HE WILL NOT LET YOU DESTORY ME .He laughted and said are you gouing to do as I told you .I said NO .So for about a month ,I had lots of problems .But every person ,i had to speak with .Was on my side .After about a month .GOD TOOK THIS mans life .Another man called me and told me ,That that other man had dropped over dead The lesson is ?GOD WILL PROTECT YOU AND DEAL hard will any to seek to harm you .HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH .HE WILL DEAL WITH US .BUT WOE to another who seeks to harm us .As we LOVE our kids ?HE LOVES US MORE . Man that owned a bar God told me one night ,shortly after being born again .To go too the hospital ,Too see a man who owned a bar .Which I had gone to a lot before being BORN AGAIn .It was late .I told the LORD ?I can not get in there this late !He said get dressed and go see him .I did .When I got the one of the side doors was held open .They are those doors which close by them selfs and can not be opened from the outside .I walked in it .it closed .So I ask for the mans room and went there .His wife was there and .I said I wanted to speak with him .She went outside .He asked JESUS CHRIST into HIS heart .I left .He had a operation on his brain .They said all went perfect .and after a time .said he was getting out [maybe 2 weeks later this was ?well I prayed .FATHER ,if this man will go back to his bar and his old life and wind up going to hell .and if he would go to heaven now instead of HELL later .I pray YOU take him now .Well he died that night .I do not know the time .But believe the LORD saved him from hell .DO you ? DEATH ,Where do WE go??? As you may well know ?One miracle to GOD is not greater than another ?If one was ?i would say ?Our names in the lambs book of life was the GREATEST .But it took many miracles to bring us to this point ? I story ,i guess starts when young .Being sickly ,then MY dad going to the hospital ,knowingly to his death ?He told me at about 5 .YOU are the only man now .YOu must take care of your mother and 4 sisters .I berlieved him .I went about trying in vain to control the home .well of course they did not like me ,acting like a little brat .Telling them ,who they could see and wear .chasing there boy friends with sticks .a real brat .Trying so hard to be a man .But as the years went by .I blamed gOD for all my problems .as I saw it .HE controled every thing being GOD .I would get drunk and curse HIm .ASK HIm why this and that .Well I married and my dream had come true ?To have a nice wife and son .But she kept leaving and returning to her mom and dad .I would drink and feel sorry for ,poor me ?One night I drank until the bar closed .Went home .pasted out .This night ,I went into darkness .falling very fast .I knew at that moment ,I was going toward hell .I prayed .JESUS CHRIST ,give me another chance .I will change .I awoke ,where I had been laying was very wet .I was dead sober .Shaking like a leaf .I said .It must of been a dream .But also knowing .I could not awake after so much drinking .I went outsisde and knew I had been dead .I did not change right away .a coupole years late .I had remarried .again had a son .I was all alone in my home .I prayed ,if there is a real GOD ,and real JESUS CHRIST and the bible is real .Show me ?I do not want a man telling me or see it on t.v. or read it in a book .If you rweally died for me ?YOU can show me .If not there is no GOD .No right or wrong ,nothing matters .YOU live you die .That "s it .But if someone hears me ?I will fail .But everytime I fall down help me up .i will try again .Well HE CAME INTO MY HEART .I WAS BORN AGAIN .I said GEE LORD ,SO this is BORN AGAIN .Then not long after that .i went in for some tests [in the hospital ]They came me a bunch of pills down stairs and a shot .Then 45minutes later ,moved nme up stair .Then gave me another hand full of pills .I was well druged now .Then a few minutes later another nurse came by with the cart and handed me a bunch more .I said .I just took a bunch .She said no .THese will help you .MY mind was very confused .I took them as 2 nurses were both giving out the medcine ,not knowing the other was ?Well it was about 12:00 noon .I looked out the window saw the sky so nice and bright .Then the room got dark ,then in a blink of an eye .I saw NEW JERUSALEM .I Spoke to JESUS .I said LORD .I have 4kids who need me .I want to stay .But they need me more .Can I go back .HE said yes .so in a another blink .I was in the bed .feeling better an ever before .The nurse ran in .She said are you ok .I said fine as the loud speaker was calling code blue I thionkl many times as the whole floor had pretty much been overdosed ..I told her to go help another as I never felt better .I never told her what had taken place .I knew the city was moving fast toward earth .it was in a space ,other an our .Because there were no stars or light .Except The GLORY of JESUS CHRIST .HE lit the city and also the space around the city .I never entered the city ,but knew if I did ?I would not leave .I saw the walls very high .But the towers were 3or4 times highter .Both times I died ?I prayed very fast .So I never came to the end of the blackness ,nor entered the city .BUT spoke with JESUS CHRIST .JUST as we do now .I had no form as I could see .And did not see HIm .BUT knew HE was with me . This was in 1976 .So this city has been traveling very fast for a long time .I look for it every day .As I believe ?It must be here soon . I have seen many miracles and been healed many times . I tghink the LORD lets these things take place ?That we tell others .That they will have FAITH .And be able to believe ,When they need to .He says He mostly chooses the weak .SO i must be weak .I do not mine being weak for my LORD .BUT also knowing ?I can do all things in CHRIST JESUS .AS YOU CAN ALSO .Because WE ARE ONE and WE HAVE THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Heb 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, 2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. WE NEED TO SEEK THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOLY GHOST,AS HE LIVES IN US ,TO TEACH US AND REVEALM ALL THINGS ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN!WE MUST TALK WITH HIM!AND ASK HIM AND LEARN FROM HIM! I haven"t read much on this teaching nor another the LORD has shown me ?The bible does not say much about either of these teachings .I can only think ,that they must be experianced to be understood .As with BORN AGAIn and the gifts . As when I 1st came to JESUS CHRIST [born again ]I had many problems ,it seemed every one was ,againth me . Well I entered into GODS NEW REST .I did not understand this place ?as it is perfect peace .Nothing on earth can touch you .You feel no pain of any kind in your body or mind .I now know that every child of GOD who dies in a bad wat enters this and feels nothing .Steven entered this .As he was being killed with rocks .He never felt pain of any kind ..This place is for us , It is given by the HOLY SPIRIT .How we get to go there ?I can not say .I have only met one person ,who entered in ,But she thought some how her dead son did it .Which of course HE DID NOT .But as she explain what happen to her .I said ?You were in GODS NEW REST .In it you are in perfect peace .You speak with the LORD and do everything as normal .but make no mistakes .But as all things have become new to us .This is just another The next thing is rivers of living water .Not much teaching on this either ,and I will not be able to tell much . But one night ,the HOLY SPIRIT awoke me .I sat up in bed .It was very peaceful .I wondered WHY i awoke .I looked down the hall .Wondering had one of my 4 kids awoke ?But heard nothing .Then I heard the sound of rushing water .It filled my ears .The HOLY SPIRIT came upon me in a circle motion body .It was a wonderful feeling .then after a while it started leaving me .and i knew satan had entered the room .I told the LORD ?Make him go .He said ?I can not .I said ?But LORD ,YOU created the heavens and earth ,YOU can do anything .HE said I can not ,YOU must do this .I said BUT LORD ,I am just a weak man .I can not do this .HE said YOU MUST .I said in great fear .GET OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST .he left fast .The HOLY SPIRIT came back upon me .But I kept saying the same thing over and over .Not really believing this power ,I had over satan and demons .Soon ,I lay back and enjoyed this wonderful feeling .Then I looked at my wife and wanted her ,to feel what ,i was feeling .I reach over and touched her .then the HOLY SPIRIT left .HE would not enter her body . So these are 2 things ,you could ask GOD to let you experiance .Or if you have been shown these ?please tell ? _________________ lean not to your own understanding,we are not of this world Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Joh 3:6 and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. :Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This includes HIS REST as we are now spirits as HE IS so the rest has also changed
