“Trust only in God!”
I was asked why or how can a person trust so heavily upon God providing all their needs. My only answer was sometimes when you step out in faith you are forced to accept that Jesus will be your supplier because you can not do anything yourself. I have taken a path that causes me to daily look towards and lean entirely upon receiving God’s favor and blessings. It is good to be in the House of The Lord and trust in Him. My hope and prayer for you today is that you will be able to look to Jesus also and find Him as your source of everything you need, whatever that may be today. God bless you.
“You are Loved!”- Pastor Ron
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, [will He] not much more [clothe] you, O you of little faith. Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day [is] its own trouble.
Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV

The Battle is The Lord’s
Our battles that we must endure are not going to be the same as the last battle. We have a new lesson to learn and a new opportunity for Christ to be exalted in our lives. We begin to win the battle when we understand that it is a Spiritual battle and not ever against the people that are around us. Sometimes it will seem as though you are being overwhelmed and wounded, but remember that Jesus is our Victor! He will bring us through this with Him.
I am reminded of a question:
How far can you go into a forest? The forest could be your trial, your struggle, your heartache, your pain, your past and so on. But the answer is and always will be, only halfway, because you are then on your way out! God is with us and we are in good hands.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he [is] Christ's, even so we [are] Christ's.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-7 NKJV

Waiting will bring beauty into your day!!
Today I look around me and I see so many projects that I should have probably completed. But today, I will choose to wait upon God to help me. My strength is lacking and I know that God is my strength. I trust Him to provide all of the things I need and I have seen Him give me more than I asked for and many things I didn’t know I had need of. God is so good to me and I know He wants to bless you and me, so again I know that sometimes we have to wait.

The Lord is my Shepherd
“The Lord is my Shepherd”
I have not always followed Christ in my life, but that is another story about a man who doesn’t exist anymore. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). I know that I have been made new because of Jesus and He wants to make all things new in your life. This happens when we confess Him as Savior and repent from sin. (Romans 10:9-10)
This leads me back to my original statement that Jesus is my Shepherd. I have come to know that He does lead and speak to me and all His children. When He speaks, I am not confused about His voice. I have heard Him very much over the last few years in an encouraging voice that has helped me move forward with His plan. Believe me when I say that God is speaking “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me”(John 10:27). Certainly there is enough evidence that God is working in our lives because people’s lives are being affected by the direction that God has placed us. I hear Him and I will obey Him. I only hope that you will hear Him and we can follow His will together. God has promised me that I would not have to go forward alone and He has never lead me wrong. I hope that you will have the same faith that enables you to follow Jesus and hear His voice today.
Just so you know, I will serve Him with or without you. “And the people said to Joshua, “The LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"(Joshua 24:24)

I'm lost for words!
When I try to express what I feel and articulate how I'm doing, I come up just short of brilliance. I've had a great education, read lots of books, taught many classes, prayed many prayers and preached thousands of sermons, but my vocabulary does not have enough words to describe how much I love you Stephanie.
I miss my wife, of nearly 38 years, Stephanie who passed away in February this year. I would like to say to her I'm sorry if she ever doubted that I loved her because I've learned how much I love her now that she's gone. Every night I would say to her "sweet dreams" and she would touch me and say "only of you." It's the hardest part of every day going to sleep and dreaming of her and then not wanting to wake up because she is gone all over again.
God's Promise:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

God can not Bless you past your last act of disobedience!
Job 42:7-10 (New King James Version)
7 And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job. 10 And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
I start this day with these words about Job and his friends to speak about something that is very dear to me, God's Blessings. Most of the time we decide that God has chosen not to bless us because we are not good or because he possibly just does not care or He just does not know who I am. I believe that this kind of doubt coupled with a lack of understanding of God's word leads us to believe that God will just Bless someone else and not me.
We get angry at God and begin to make an argument that maybe God does not exist. We ask God to help us and nothing happens, which leads us into further doubt and disbelief. We determine within ourselves there is no God. We begin to believe our own Eliphaz's, and Bildad's and Zophar's and reason amongst our friends that there is no hope and we should just give up.
So enough about the problem, let's take a look at the solution. I first want to tell you that the problem is us. We are the ones who live in disobedience and denial. I have stated and believe that "God can not Bless you past your last act of Disobedience." that's right can not. We sometimes confuse this as will not instead of can not. it is totally God' will to bless you, but he can not if we continue to live in disobedience.
Everyone likes to look at Job and see that God considered him a good servant, a just and upright citizen. We believe that these qualities will bring God's blessings and nothing else matters. But, it was not his life that brought the blessing in the end it was ONE act of obedience (v.10) when he prayed that God restored or multiplied or however you would like to consider the increase, He was Blessed because he obeyed.
Now if you have been living in disobedience and God's blessings have been cut off from you, Repent from the disobedience and allow to God to direct your path and instruct you into a course of action that leads to obedience. You are probably right now beginning to see things that you can do. i say do them and stop withholding God's Blessings. Remember it is totally God's will to bless you, but He can not Bless you past your last act of disobedience.
May God Bless,
Pastor Ron

The "Sexperiment" and The Truth!
2 Timothy 4:2-4
New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
The other evening I was watching the local news when I saw a news story about a local church's pastor and his "sexperiment". I thought about the idea of this being used for saving marriages and families by the startling concept that was presented, but I soon began to hear the Word of God speak to my heart about how in the last days, we will seek out teachers who will design their ministries to please men and draw in men to hear their fresh new revelations and directions and inspirations from "God".
I do firmly believe (and I have preached) that God made the marriage bed to bring us closer to Him. The experience of "making love" with your wife or husband is as close as one can get to experiencing the intimacy that God wants for us to experience with Him. My point is that there is no experiment necessary for men and women to find romance in their marriages. The answer to a long and satisfying marriage bed is drawing in close to God and Loving Him with all you heart, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
There is nothing new under the sun. Trying to draw attention to yourself will not glorify God to the point that the lost come to your church to find God. The spectacle of lying in bed with your spouse on top of the church for 24 hours, is not founded in scripture or sound doctrine. This so called "sexperiment" will only cause people to want to see you in bed with your spouse.
So I ask, have we heeped unto ourselves teachers, having itching ears? Have we turned away from The Way, The Truth, and The Life, which is God's Word? I say pointedly, Yes we Have! But I am also saying that I have to preach!
I have to preach the truth! I have to preach Jesus! I have to tell you that only Christ can save you, only the Holy Spirit can draw you in.
I like what the scientist Galileo said "All Truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered. The point is to discover them".
I say discover the truth in God's Word. God does want us to have satisfaction in our marriages. God loves us more than we really know, but you can get a glimpse of His love in your spouses eyes. The Church does not need gimmicks and publicity stunts to reach the lost. The Church just needs to get back to preaching The Truth. Seek men of God who are not afraid to preach the Truth.
I just have to preach!
