Victory Today

The question is:Do we know ABOUT HIM OR REALLY KNOW AND TRUST HIM? I HEAR FROM PEOPLE ALL THE TIME---"I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS IS HAPPENING"---THAT TELLS ME A. THEY EITHEER DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS OR B. DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IT!

Question: Do you know Jesus? Second question: Do you truly and honestly trust Him? Its not a matter of "knowing" Him but actually "trusting" Him. Know and believing He has everything under control and everything is going according to His plan!

The poem "Do not ask me to remember". Why doesn't God heal everyone? The truth about Isa. 53:5. Do I have to tithe? Grandparents? Sin that it might appear to be sin and be exceedingly sinful!

Neh.8:10 "The joy of the Lord is my joy." Just as with Heb.11:6 where it says "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Satan takes that as a direct challenge and goes straigt after your faith knowing if he can get your faith he has scored a great victory and we can not. please God. If he can get your joy---he can sap your strength! Guard your joy!

Paul said "I can do all things through Christ." Whatever God has for you His grace and abilities are enough. He will never lead you to do what His provisions and abilities are not able to bring you though it. I have often said, "If God has brought you to it He will bring you through it,"

David Ring has CP but oh how God has used him. God has a purpose for our lives and if He does---and He does---then He has sown into you the seeds to do that purpose. The seeds of greatness. Never doubt IF God can---He can and He wants to do great things in your life. Thrown down your stick or whatever is holding you back and trust Him and just go for it!

God asked Moses "What's that in your hand?" David Ring preaches this powerful message about whatever you have is enough for God to work with if we just surrender to His power and will.

We still serve a miracle working God who wants to do a miracle in you if we will just claim it. I have often said one of the saddest things when we get to heaven is when we find out all the He wanted to do for us and with us that we let go unclaimed.

I often say "the world may be in a mess but Jesus isn't" We must always remember He is controled by the world ---He controls the world. Nothing is happening today that He didn't tell us was coming but He also assures us---"I've got this. Trust me" and dear friend you CAN trust Him.

Jesus said in the last days lukewarness would abound. The love of many would be weak and there would be a great falling away. Far too many Christians are letting themseves be circumstance controlled. Here are some helps for weak faith.

Hebrews 11:6 says "Without faith it is impossible to please God" and that He is a "rewarder of those who diligently seek Him," We all suffer from weak faith at times but how should we deal with that and what does it mean to diligently seek Him?

When we honored God we were blessed. One quick look at history and the dependence the foundind fathers had on God will show us the way back from the foolishness of the day. BE NOT DECEIVED GOD IS NOT MOCKED!

The world maybe in a mess BUT Jesus isn't! His power and victories are available today just as always. His promises sure and His love as strong for you as ever. He is still greater than he that is in the world. We just need to believe that and claom it!

We are saved and free only by the grace and mercy of God. God was the reason for the founding of our lands and by His grace He has preserved us for 250 years and only by His grace!

I believe qith all my heart as you study real history that God raised up this whole North America continent to be the missionary center for the world and for many years it was. When these people mock America and do everything they can to destroy it---they are mocking God, sinking their own future and bringing about His return.

The story of two funerals. One from suicide the other from a faithdul child of God. 

What about baptism and what role does it play in salvation? What is the biggest mistake Christians make in their life? Is marriage a 50-50 commitment? What happens when we take matters into our own hands and don't wait on God?

Have you ever said or at least thought "How long oh Lord will you tolerate all this?" I firmly believe we are coming to that day. Did your mother ever say "I have had enough?" Well that day is coming. God is a God of justice Luke 18:7 and He will redeem is faithful, chosen people, He is faithful to His faithful.

With all the things going on sometimes it is very easy to complain when you have no shoes when many have no feet. I know gas prices and food prices RE UP BUT WE ALL COULD LIVE WHERE PEOPLE STAAND IN LINE FOR HOURS FOR A LOAF OF BREAD. My mother use to say "It's worse where there isn't any". When was the last time you real thanked God for all His goodness?

David in the Psalms was very open about his trials and the traps his enemys set for him. He at times will show us his frustrations and dispair BUT he never lost his trust and faith in God. One of the hardest things for any Christian to do is---BE STILL. To let go and let God is a battle we all face yet so many won't admit it. Don't forget "Yea I walk THROUH the valley of the shadow of death FOR THOU ART WITH ME..."

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.
