We must enter through the Door.

Many emotions fill the ranks of men; yet only Truth, in the end will stand.

Even Jesus who was God in the flesh, fulfilled all scripture. As it is written, so must we do, if we are to know Him and be known by Him. 
Let not this modern world shape you unto destruction, however daily be renewed in Christ who has called you to come out of darkness into His Marvelous Light. 
If you set your eyes upon

 this world it's beauty you will behold, yet IF you will set your affections on things above concerning Christ, OH, how you will long to freed from this flesh, that you might know Him.

John 10:1-2~ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door IS THE SHEPHERD of the sheep.

John 10:11~ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Jesus is the Shepherd of the sheep, yet Jesus is also the Door.

John 10:9~ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

BY ME if any man enter in.

John 1:14~ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only BEGOTTEN of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

*BEGOTTEN* simply means beginning, Jesus who was God in the flesh had a beginning in a stable in Bethlehem. The Word who is God came and dwelt among us in the man Christ Jesus, He is the only True living God. The Only Saviour of the world. The eternal Word of God or Spirit of God has no beginning and has no ending, therefore He is from everlasting unto everlasting, being omnipresent meaning His fills all space and there is no place we can go where God is not, because He IS the Great I AM!

So then, the Creator of all creation had to subject Himself unto His own Word that we might be saved through Him!

Be not deceived, God himself had to enter in AS IT IS WRITTEN,
John 10:2
He that entereth in BY THE DOOR IS THE SHEPHERD of the sheep.

There is One Way, One Truth, One Life,
One Word that saves, and One Door into heaven.

Jesus, overcame the world that we might be saved through Him.

We can obey the Word, we only have to fix our eyes upon our example, Jesus and walk as He walked in this present world!

The flesh is weak, yet the Spirit is willing.
Who we love is who we obey.

John 14:15~ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Make knowing Jesus your chief goal in life.

I Don't Belong to Me!

I don't Belong to me!

No one likes to weep for a night, but OH, when the joy comes in the morning!!!! Hold on saint of God, our Lord is coming very soon.

Shun the flesh in whatever form it may come, cling to Righteousness, teach ONLY the doctrine of Christ as taught by the apostles and you will not only save yourself, but also those that hear thee, read the book of Acts and obey it.

To hear, is to do, and to do, is to act upon the faith in-which you have heard. Emotions have never saved, nor will they ever save; only obedience to the Word of God can save us, if we are only hearers of the Word and not doers, we fool ourselves, we must be both hearers and also doers of the Word as it is written.

If all the world tell us we are right, and the Word of the ONLY, ONE, TRUE God states we are wrong, we are still wrong, and will be lost in our error. There is only One Truth friend, obey it and be the winner. Jesus warned us saying remember Lot's wife. She was warned not to look back unto the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, yet she did and with it she perished.

Matthew 7:14~ Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Righteousness reaches out daily, sadly so many take it for granted as if He will always be hear. Thank you Jesus, who also is the Word my Saviour, Redeemer, and Lord!

To Love, is much more profitable than to hate.

Life on earth is real, very short, and not to be taken lightly. Life is all about fearing God, and keeping His commandments. I wish all could understand!

Jesus said, blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

The gospel hurts at times; it makes us mad at times, yet the gospel of Christ ALWAYS works for the good of those who love Him, obeying His commandments, following His call. Wait on the Lord; He is full of love and tender mercies.

The church is made up of individuals, some who love the Lord, and some who never seem to get what serving God is really about; which is the losing of self unto the gaining of Christ, following Him daily by walking in His Word obeying His commands as it is written, and not as we see it through our flesh, which gets in the way if we allow it to.
Sin is pleasurable for a season, but sin will forsake you in an eternity of torments.
Don't believe the lie that you can govern sin; in our flesh we are no match for sin, sin will govern us strait to a devils hell which was not intended for the souls of man, but to whom you yield yourselves unto, his servant you are, either sin unto death or Righteousness unto life eternal.)

I have been hurt by the church, I have also at times, in times past, hurt the church, but in hurting, I have learned to forgive, in forgiving, I have learned to love, in loving, I have learned to live! To Truly live is to follow Christ.

Matthew 6:14-15~ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

To love is much more profitable than to hate.

Follow the Formula!

Follow the Formula!

You walk into math class, the Professor tells you the formula of which their is only one for the equation, and your reply to him or her is, I do not believe that is the formula, their reply to you, is do it your way if you will, but be sure your answer will be wrong!

There is One Truth.

Acts 19:1-6~ "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."

To be saved, you must obey Truth, that is the only saving option.

Galatians 5:7~ "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?"

1 Peter 2:7~ "Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."

Peter did not say they did not believe, but he wrote they were DISOBEDIENT, STUMBLING at the WORD. Do you have to be lost? No

***There are two roads you can travel, one is righteousness which is God's Truth or sin which basically is the way that naturally seems right unto us, and all you have to do to follow sin is live and do nothing but go to the way which seems right unto you.

Do you believe that you can be sincerely wrong, and be lost?

Trust only the written Word for your answer, trust not in your emotions.

Matthew 23:15~ "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

THE PROSELYTE WAS SINCERELY WRONG, yet he is still lost.

Believe the TRUTH! There is only One.

There is no wavering in the Word of God, and

NO ONE SEES THEMSELVES in this next passage of scripture,

but the Word says MANY WILL BE!

Matthew 7:21-23~ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

We can only know Him by being born again ACCORDING to the WORD OF GOD! not as we see it, but as it is written. Follow the formula, There is only One!

Obey Acts 2:38, and get in THE CHURCH.

I am tired of writing, your tired of reading, I hope someone has been encouraged by this, good night, and God bless!

Not My own

I am not my own,
I have been bought with a price,
The precious blood of Jesus,
Is my redeeming price,
Now of him, alone I sing,
Praises unto THE KING!
Blessed are all who morn in Christ!
Rejoice oh Saints who in Him who have laid down your life!
It is not a little thing; to trust in Jesus!

The Carnal Mind is the Enemy of God!

Romans 8:6-8~ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

When my mind lifts me up, I quickly cast me down realizing vanity is a destroyer of many souls. Ecclesiastes 12:13~ "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

When my flesh would make idols unto me and around me, I quickly tear them down. Matthew 4:10~ "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

When praise of men I would receive; I quickly acknowledge my God, turning unto Him the glory.
Matthew 4:8-10~ "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

The One, True God, Jehovah! He is high and lifted up!
Let All Nations declare that He is Great beyond expression!
His name will I ever praise in the presence of His Majesty!

Only One

Only One could touch my heart giving to me a new start, transforming my inner man who was dead in trespass and sin, through only One who is Christ do I live again.

While there is breath in my being, He will be my every waking moment.

Awake Thou that Sleepest;

Wake up People!!!! Forever is around the corner, where will you spend it.

It is written in Joel 3:14~ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

God is full of love, yet He is also full of judgments; as it is written so it is. Learn of Him while there is time; obey Him and reap His many benefits.

There is only One!

John 1:1~ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Begotten means Beginning.

In short form, the omnipresent, eternal Spirit of God, made Himself a fleshly body and came as Emanuel whose name is Jesus, dwelling among us, delivering the gospel of the Kingdom of God unto us, that we might be saved through it, if we will obey it and continue in it. There is only One!

There is only One Lord, One Faith, One baptism and One name which saves, and that name is Jesus who also is Lord of all, the Faith which saves is the Gospel we follow, and knowing my eternity rest on that which I believe and obey, I must follow Truth of which There is only One! We are covered by the blood through water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ in obedience to God's Word, Acts 4:12~ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. We are sealed unto Him when we receive the Spirit of promise, (which is the Holy Ghost.)

Ephesians 1:13~ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Acts 2:39~ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

The question is not, do I need to obey the Truth to be saved, but will I obey the Truth and be saved.

Just Strait>

I am just a simple man part of a big plan, an extension of God's salvation message that was once delivered unto man. The conduit is strait, the message is clear, there are no elbow or Tee joints, no 45 angles, just strait.

The first apostolic message preached by Peter in Acts 2, is still the way into the church today; Romans through Jude tell all who enter through the Door how to stay in the church, and how to walk according to the Word of God, the Word is all we have; the rest are opinions and false emotions.

I am soooo glad a preacher of Righteousness cared enough to deny himself that I might also learn how to walk in True Righteousness before God, I know the life that I lived and what God brought me out of, darkness that is; into His Marvelous light, and He does care which doctrine I teach. I love you, Lord.

1 Timothy 4:16~ Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Are you ready for the Trumpets call

11697 Normandy Blvd. 32221 Where the Truth of God is preached as on the day of Pentecost so is it still today, believe it, receive it, claim it, don't try to tame it, for the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Righteousness reigns, Truth delivers, so are you ready for the experience of Pentecost, come join us as we proclaim Jesus, exalt His Word, and obey His commandments at First United Pentecostal Church, Sunday services at 10:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. also Wednesday evening services are held at 7:30 P.M. Don't miss the sounding of the trumpet, Christ is coming soon!!!

Be a Leader

Be a leader; walk in true Righteousness, even though the whole world walks in darkness; you can walk in the Light.

It is easy to be blinded while peering through the eyes of the flesh, yielding to our own emotions. Proverbs 14:12~ "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." If we live life according to how we see it, we will die, but if we will hear the Word of God and walk in his light, abiding in His love we will never see death. John 8:51~ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Ephesians 4:17-24~ "This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."

I wish all could hear and understand Truth, but because many do not; the righteous are hated for His name sake and are looked upon as indifferent because they choose to obey the Word. Jesus is more than a five letter word, that we; if not careful, will shape or mold into how we in-vision Him to be, know that He is the Word of God who did become flesh dwelling among mankind shinning forth His light into this darkened world that all may have a way of escape from the terror to come.

I, in love for the souls of mankind; suggest all to follow Him!

Luke 9:23-26~ "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." Remember friend, that it is not the hearers of His Word that shall be justified, but the doers of his Word that shall be justified.

The Truth of God's Word has never been popular to the world or our carnal mind nor shall it ever be; however, it is still Truth.

I love Truth!!!

Good Stuff!!!

Church was wonderful this morning as well as tonight, Bro. Green spoke this morning on abstaining from sin and taught concerning the Oneness of God, who is our salvation. Tonight Bro. Hopkins threw out the life-line as he Preached on

"Now Is the Time," using the story of the preparing of the Ark when Noah obeyed the Word of God and prepared the Ark to the saving of his family. What is amazing is that Noah was a preacher of Righteousness and preached while he prepared the Ark for more than one hundred years, and no-one chose to get on the Ark except Noah and his family which accounted for EIGHT souls!!! Yes I said, Eight souls!!! When the rain came it was to late the ONE DOOR was shut, so NOW IS THE TIME to serve God not tomorrow but Now! The Church of the book of Acts is still on the move, the Holy Ghost is still being poured out just like on the day of Pentecost, what the people were commanded to do on that day is still the commandment for today.

Acts 2:38-39~ "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." This is the Words of the Door, not mine, I am just a witness, and as His witness I must confess Him, He who is Truth.

Don't doubt the Truth, get in the Truth, there is only One Truth and not many, if you left Him come back to Him, for Jesus is Truth, we either confess Him or deny Him by professing His Truth, or denying His Truth, which is the gospel of the kingdom of God, Jesus preached in Mark 1:15~ "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus is the Word which became flesh dwelling among us.

John 12:44~ "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth NOT on me, but on HIM that sent me." Who is it that sent Jesus? The Word! Who is the Father? The Word! Who is Jesus? The Word! Who is that we believe on? The Word.

To believe on the name of Jesus opens the Door that we might obey Him to the saving of our souls by obeying the Word.

John 1:1-4,14~ "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ****And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

Isaiah 43:10-11~ "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no Saviour." Who is the Saviour? Know that there is only One, and His name is Jesus!!!

James 5:19-20~ "Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."

I could go on and on about my Lord, for to me He is my life, I love to write of Him, talk of Him, learn of Him, and follow Him. My prayer is for souls, please pray for me, it won't be long saints, home is around the corner.

Thank you preachers of righteousness.

Bowels of Mercy

Let my bowels bleed mercies,

Let my life stem hope,

That all who I touch, might come to Christ, know,

For life is more than treasures, fortunes, and fame,

As life truly is never lived, unless lived for Jesus name.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, which brought life unto me,

knowing there is only one True doctrine, and His I must keep!

Praise my Lord, and my God, Jesus! Who is exalted in me.

Praises to the One

Praises to the One, who died to save my soul,

Praises to the One, whose blood has made me whole,

Praises to the One, of whom I love to sing,

Praises to the One, my beginning,

I've been redeemed, through the blood of Jesus,

I've been redeemed, by the wounds He did bare,

I stand a temple, unto my Redeemer,

The shame, reproach; I gladly bare,

Praises to the One, who arose from the grave,

Praises to the One, of whom I'm not ashamed,

Praises to the One, whose Spirit is in me,

Praises to the One, in whom I am free,

I've been redeemed, through the blood of Jesus,

I've been redeemed, by the wounds He did bare,

I stand a temple, unto my Redeemer,

The shame, reproach; I gladly bare,
