Victory Today

David cries out to God in Ps. 25 about his enemies and the traps (nets) Satan lays out for him. He shows us we can trust God no matter what and that God is able. He can meet you need and give you the victory if we trust Him and keep the faith.

Discussion on why you need to know what is going on. The price for supporting Donald Trump. How to love someone but not like them. Don't gloat because your house is built on the rock. What about Iran?

In Matt.24 He says "I'm coming again. I'm coming again". In 25 He tells three stories. The wise and foolish virgins, (Be ready) The parable of the talents. (Make sure you've used your talents for Him. And the last story tells us how we are to use those talents.

Probably the most often asked question I get is "when do you think the Lord is coming?" My answer is usually "when God says go He is coming" BUT---one thing is certain someday He is coming for sure. Our job today is to make sure we are ready and to pray those we love are ready and not left behind.

Most realize it is a much different world today than the one we grew up in BUT Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still the only answer for broken live and especially for our children.

Is America/Canada really split 50-50 on Araditional moral values? The real situation with Isreal. What can we do about racism in America? What should I as a Christian do in these times?

Consequences! Return to preaching about the consequences of not trusting Christ. Hell! Consequences in the judicial system. Consequences in our schools. The general consequences of life!

John 14:13 "That the Father is glorified"---is what you are asking for going to glorify the Father? Then go for it know He is able and loves you and you are a "Kings Kid."

Today we will take you to an actual chapel service at Freedom Village. You will also find out how we dealt with racism. In 40 years we had I incident of racism though we had every race over the years under the sun.

The Bible is full of evidence of the depth of God's love. The biggest thing Satan tries to stop is you from knowing just how much God loves you. Knowledge and love and a whole bunch of other things are all available through the Holy Spirit and today we will examine how the Holy Spirit can reveal them to you.

Paul in Eph.1:6 was amazed he was accepted in the beloved. I love where H.G. Spafford wrote in the hymn It is well with my sould----"God has regarded my hekpless estate and shed His own blood for my souls." Folks, the saying goes: "When you come to the place He is all you've got you will find He is all you need."

You will never understand how to fully trust Him until you grasp His total love and forgiveness for you. Ask yourselp: Have they ever disproved one thing in His Word? Have you ever discovered one person He failed or one promise He fail to keep to anyone in His Word? So you think you will be the first person in history He ever failed?

There is a difference between salvation and working on our fellowship with Him. Much of our struggles and failures are in the fellpwhip area. We are all broken people and if Satan loses the battle over salvation with a person he immedeately fires his wicked darts at their fellowship with God and sadly he has more wicked "firery darts" than ever to fire at us.

We live in a media/internet driven world and Satan is using it to the fullest. 75% of Christians report they have trouble fully trusting God. Many also say they struggle with sexual allurments and staying off social media. 

75% of recently surveyed Christians sais there number one struggle was fully trusting. They could trust 80% of the time BUT struggled trusting all the time. Abraham in Romans 4 said he was "fully persuaded," Joshua said "I and I alone totally believed>" We akk fail Him at times. What does it take to fully trust?

What is the biggest threat to Christians? What should we do about illigals with CDL licenses driving tractir trailers? What should we do about teen riots? What we taught at the Village about manhood and womanhood? Special birthday song for a friend Blessed Assurance

Far too many of us let the cares of this world smother the promises God has for us in His Word. We need to be aware of the wickedness around us and therefore gow close we are getting to THAT day BUT never forget God loves us and He is always in control and He has a book full of promises just for you and me..

Phil.4:8  There is no question there is enough evil surrounding us but we are in charge of our thoughts and how it controls our outlook. We are to know what is happening(Hosea 4:6) but not to the point we forget His promises and His goodness and what He promises lies ahead.

Oft times it takes a birthday or other special occasion for us to say I love you. Yes, it's a difficult time for many but there are so many things we are to be thankful for. Today we will remember some of those.

Special Memorial Day program

What is my favorite promise in the Bible? What do I think about Iran? Why won't more preachers preach straight truth and speal out on moral issues? Truth about teen riots. Parents respnsibility. A special song in honor of 92 yearold long time listener.

Many report they believe what God says and warns and promises BUT---do you really believe?

Many tell me they are amazed God hasn't sent Jesus to return before now. The question is not IF but WHEN. Whenever that day comes there is a day before that day and we will face the great cloud of witnesses spoken of in Hebrew 12.

Hebrews 12 talks about a "great cloud of witness" who were slain and horribly persecuted for their faith who are in heaven watching us. Pastors killed for preaching what others today are afraid to mention. People who have watched their children slaughtered for teaching them the Lord's prayer while they won't even read the Bible to them. May God wake up this generation.

Obviously many are looking for the day of the Lord's return BUT there is a day coming before that day. Likewise many forget that when the Lord returns any and all who do not know Christ are left behind and all who are raptured stand before Him and give an account of our lives.

Family challenges and divisions. Putting mom or dad in nursing homes? When I think Jesus will come. What I think about Iran. Choosing the right church.

There are wicked patterns developing that are Satan's attcks on God's people, the church, our children and the traditional moral values of our countries. Beware!

One of Satan's biggest tools is to keep reminding us of our past that Jesus has forgiven. Ps.103 says our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west ---you can go east but you will never reach the west. Buried in the deepest sea---the deepest sea is 64,000 feet deep! Your pasr is gone NEVER to be remembered by Him!

Never in my life time has the enemy thrown so much wickedness in the path of people to try and trip them up. We are all tempted at times but whether we yield to it is our decision. We are all a composite of the decisions we have made whether good or bad. Thank God He loves and forgives and if we trust Him He will completely restore.

The biggest mistake many of us have made is when we take our departure and let go of the hand of God. I made that mistake when I was 17 and left home. Taking our departure is the start down a road to sin that is destine to take one farther than you ever intended to go. The good news is there is a God who loves you and stands ready and desires to forgive and restore. He is the only hope there is for a broken life.

When we get to heaven and find out all that God has kept from happening! Do not let go of that one little spark of hope. Never quit believing! Tailor made grace. What is going to happen in Iran? The secret blessing to giving.

There is a fantastic blessing in giving. Remember "For God so loved the world He gave." The way to being blessed is to give.

You can't stop a man with a dream. Go it in bite size pieces. You can with His help and His power

When God says "where yjere is no vision the people perish" Satan licks his chops feeling like he can devour you. God has a plan for your life but so does the enemy. You have the power and promises of God to keep that from happening.

The main goal of Satan is to get you so focused on the "nasty now" you let go of your dreams and you vision and become so caught up in worry you forget all the benifits of being a child of the King!

Will the earth be destroyed by fire? What disturbs you most about what is happening in the world today? The desperation of young people. Lack of straight forward tell it like it is preaching. The call to God's people in these days. People more worried about the price of gas than being nuked!

When we never find and do the will of God for our lives it is not just we who miss out. What about those God had a plan for us to reach for Him. The Billy Grahams, Billy Sundays, D.L. Moodys and so many more. His plan includes reaching others with our light and being His salt. 

We are here right now because that was God's plan for our lives and though we may questions the whys and whats of various circumstances this one thing I know---He is totally in control and He has a purpose for every question we ask why to!

Sadly, no one under the age of 50 has ever seen a moral America and probably for the last 15 to 20 years a "civil" America. I have heard from many wishing for the "good old days." Alas, you and I are here now---for such a time as this---by God's design. This is our time to live and trust and be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

As specific as God made you whether it's your eye color, finger prints, DNA, retena scan, etc.---He has a very specific will for your life. A permissive will and a perfect will!

Dear Pastor B, "What keeps you going?" What do you feel about homeschooling? Christian achools? What should a parent know about a public school teacher? Truth about Noah's Arc?

Have you ever felt unworthy? Well we all are! Unworthy---undeserving---none of us deserve the forgiveness and love and blessing of God BUT He said it and promises it and our job is to claim it and understand we are all broken people deserving of hell BUT God "so loved us" and if we all only remember where we were when He found us and how far He has brought us!

The rich man came to Jesus and said he wanted to follow Jesus completely. Jesus examined him and said, "One thing thou lackest." May we all swlf examine ourselvesto see what might be standing between Jesus and us!

The commandment is to LIVE by faith. I really feel far to many may HAVE faith but not LIVE by faith. Josuha left two thirds of what God wanted to give him unclaimed. How much of what God wants to do for us are we leaving behind unclaimed?

Josuha 1 God told Josuha and the people that He would give them everywhere where their foot trod. They only covered one third of the land He wanted to give them---they left two thirds unclaimed. What are we leaving unclaimed.

What if someone knows they were suppose to follow God's will earlier in life but didn't. Is it too late? Questions about my medical scare. About the days of Noah? How do you forget your past. Paul said "forgetting those things which are behind."

In Gen. 18:17 God says, "Should I withhold from Abraham what I am about to do?"  I am going to have a frank conversation with you today about what I feel God is doind and the events surrounding us today. Brace yourself and please pray God will give you an open mind.

Oft times we focus on what a person did on earth for Jesus sake but my question and I really believe God's question will be what we COULD have dine! Did we "finish our course and keep the faith and fight the good fight?"

When we stand before Him it will not be all we have done but what we could have done that will be judged. The secrets of every heart. Every idle word. The people we could have witnessed to. The missed opportunities to let our light shine.

We will all be remembered by those we take to heaven and by those we leave behind. What will be your memorial? Who will you leave behind? Have you witnessed to them? What have you done on earth for Jesus and His kingdom?

How could something like what happened to you happen to someone like you? Is this the last of the last days? An explanation of what the Bible says this is all about. The price we pay for letting our light shine and standing for Him.
