HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD?

Our GOD does so much more for us than we are even aware of. HE wakes us up with breath. He keeps our blood flowing during the night when our bodies are horizontal and not vertical. He keeps our cells growing and mutating. He keeps our brain cells functioning even though we smoke and drink. He blesses us with HIS presence even though we don't know it. HE gives us HIS answers to prayers. He lives in our bodies as a Holy Spirit. HE graces us with HIS sense of humor and lives through us so we may experience life with HIM. HE gave us HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, to know and receive as our Lord and Savior so that we may continue to know HIM and live with HIM eternally as an EVERLASTING FATHER and WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR. Our GOD is so Great that words cannot even come close to expressing HIS Majesty.

PRAYER

"LORD JESUS CHRIST, please bless this food we are about to receive through YOUR Bounty, through YOUR SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. LORD JESUS CHRIST, please bless, sanctify and offer to any and all who wish to partake; and we offer GOD, THE FATHER, the first bite of all things prepared in thanks for the work of HIS Hands, and for HIS Provision, and as a First Fruit. We offer the second bite of all things prepared to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for being our Lord and Savior, and the third to THE HOLY SPIRIT for the work done for YOU and YOUR Kingdom. All this, we pray, in the name of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, †Amen."

THE POWER OF OUR LORD GOD

As a Child of GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, entrusts us with HIS Name, HIS Power, and HIS Authority to do such things as cast out demons. If we or one of our family, friends or neighbors are being tormented or afflicted by an evil or unclean spirit, we can pray for THE LORD GOD for help to get them out. We should realize that it is by HIS Name, HIS Power, and HIS Authority that anything will be done and it will not be done because of our name, or our power, or our authority because we have none without HIM or HIS Covering, HIS Protection, or HIS Guidance. As it was so shall it always be.

JESUS' POWER AND AUTHORITY

"And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, "Go." And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that we would depart out of their coasts." MATTHEW 9: 28-34

You can also use as a reference: MARK 5:1-20; MARK 9:14-29;LUKE 9:1-5

WHEN IN THE FIRE

When in the fire, when tested by trial and tribulation, great or small, remember GOD'S HOLY WORD "And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of THE LORD shall be saved. " ACTS 2:21

Call out to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST to save you. Call out to HIM and ask HIM to help you. Say with your mouth "LORD JESUS CHRIST save me, please." HE will faithfully answer and deliver you back to Grace.

PRAISE AS A WEAPON

Praise is a mighty weapon to use against the devil and his demons. Whenever you feel attacked, Praise GOD! Say "Praise YOU, GOD, THE FATHER. Praise YOU, GOD, THE SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. And Praise YOU, GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT for all you do to love and protect us from outside influences that mean us harm in this world.

THE STONE THE BUILDERS REJECTED

"Haven't You read this Scripture: 'THE STONE The Builders rejected has become THE CAPSTONE: THE LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes?" MARK 12:10

"The Stone which The Builders rejected, the same is become the Head of The Corner. " LUKE 20:17

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is THE STONE.
The Builders are THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY'S chosen people: The Isrealites who rejected THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
HE will become a stumbling block to The Israelites, a snare if you will to all who reject HIM for HE will come again in Glory to judge the living and the dead.
THE CAPSTONE is the central building block around which all else depends and without which all would crumble except that which is GOD, THE FATHER; GOD, THE SON; and GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
This is GOD, THE FATHER'S Masterminded Plan for Man's Salvation and Sanctification, which is HIS Will.
THE LORD is GOD, THE FATHER; GOD, THE SON; and GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Something like that.

BODY AS A TEMPLE

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of GOD, and that THE SPIRIT OF GOD dwelleth in you?" 1 CORINTHIANS 4:16

Your body is a temple that was built by THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, through THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, and for the use of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. Keep it pure and holy. Do not commit any grievous acts of sin against GOD such as fornication or adultery, lewd and lacivious acts, mis-use of drugs of any kind: prescription or otherwise, smoking, drinking which leads to debauchery, inhaling carcinogens of any kind. This may also include body piercings, tatooing, writing on one self with ink markers.

Instead eat good and wholesome foods such as salads, fruits of the vine and otherwise, and vegetables. Drink plenty of water. These things are from HIM who made them. Treat your body as a temple, holy and acceptable to HIM and THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY will bless your life.

MARRIAGE

Make THE LORD GOD a part of your marriage so that it is HE who is the Head of Your Family, First to whom you go to Saying, Amen. Asking for Blessings and giving HIM Glory and Supplicating to HIM for Wisdom and Knowledge and Power and Might and Mercy and Grace; Giving Praise and Honor and Thanks in all things and in all circumstances, and Supplicating for HIS Power and HIS Strength and HIS Might as yours will not suffice. Then let it be you and your spouse to make it three.

"A threefold cord is not quickly broken." ECCLESIASTES 4:12

PRAISE IS BETTER THAN SILENCE

My mother used to tell me, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." Well, she was right on almost every occasion but one: Praising OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. Instead of not saying anything at all, the better thing to do would be to Praise Our GOD or Praise THE LORD JESUS CHRIST or Praise THE HOLY SPIRIT. Praise HIM in the morning. Praise HIM in the afternoon. Praise HIM at night. All day long would be all right. Praise HIM in the good times; and praise HIM in the bad times, too, like Job in GOD'S HOLY BIBLE. And especially sometimes when you think you don't have anything good to say, you find that you really do, and if you're giving it back to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY; then usually in HIS Goodness HE blesses it back to you in some kind of way you may or may not be expecting. Praise is also a most invincible weapon to use against the devil. So, whenever you need Satan to leave, Praise THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. So, Praise you GOD, THE FATHER; Praise you, LORD JESUS CHRIST; and Praise you, HOLY SPIRIT. Hallelujah!

THE LORD GOD'S LOVE

THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY'S Love for HIS Children is an Agape Love. A Love that is most encompassing and surpassing all human understanding and comprehension. A Love that gives it's all no matter the cost to HIM who made it. That is the kind of Love Our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has for us.
