Philippians 1:3-11 (NIV)
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
I pray that you all be you a “Prayer Warrior” or here learning and reading you all are important to me. Everyday I awake amazed that God chose me to be the Shepherd of this group. Then I remember a prayer in 1982 Dear God I do not know if You are real or not, however if You are I am ready What ever you want, where ever you want it and when ever I am ready and what there is about me that You do not like You will have to Change for I can not. That was April 24 1982 at 8:40 pm the most important day in my life. That was the prayer I prayed and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. So maybe you can understand why I pray the way I do now and end my prayers the way I do.
It only took 33 years for me to get out of his way so he could use me. I do pray that this ministry touches you in someway and makes a difference in your life. Then I have done what God has called me to do. I desire that all of you grasp what the Bible is say to you. No one can do anything and I repeat anything to earn their way to Heaven the ultimate price has been paid in full.
One day on a cross at Calvary Jesus Christ stated “It Is Finished” hung His head and died and that day IT WAS FINISHED he had fulfilled all the prophesies he had taken all the sins of this world to the cross with him. Now there is only one thing left to do ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR LORD AND YOUR SAVIOR and then you can say it is finished for it is over and done. Now you have repented [turned away from the worlds ways] and changed your way of thinking, I have heard it called stinkin’ thinkin’ and I do believe that is true. The Bible is clear in what should happen. It writes about not being unequally yoked with non-believers [hanging out with] in 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? Did not say do not talk to them it is not hanging with them and doing the things one used to do.
We also find in Matthew 7:17-19 about the fruit we can see where someone is by their fruit. or in John 15:1-5 we again are to bear fruit. So we all have a duty as Christians and most of us have fallen shout of our calling. It is never to late as long as one is breathing. So today it is time to do what we have been called to do. And believe me I have heard all the arguments about it and every time I say go to Matthew 29:18-20 and read it then read it again and again then tell me it is not your place to do so. I did not say you are not saved I did not say you would not go to Heaven, what I am saying it is our duty to tell others about the saving grace of our Father if they accept or do not is their choice, however afterwards they can not ever say I didn’t know for from the time one told them they do know. So now I hope you know and understand my thanksgiving and prayer.
