Back In The Late 60s, There Was Great Strife In Our Country, And Today The Level Of Degree Of Division

Back in the late ’60s, there was great strife in our country, and today the level of degree of division and disagreement is even greater that - and that to an even higher and disturbing degree.

With such a high and agitated degree of discord and division in our country, it is very disheartening to see how far we have all fallen from what our founding fathers conceived as a UNION of thirteen separate states to become “The UNITED States.” Their declaration and intention was for a people of all races and religions to live united together under ONE banner and ONE national identity.

Today that national identity is being challenged and threatened to be divided against itself. So what is the answer to this division? It is called faith, BOLD FAITH that despite what forces are working against our national unity that God is with us, and that through fervent prayer for our country we can come together again and rise above whatever corruption and evils that have been hidden by our leaders and for these evils to be revealed.

It isn’t enough to say “I have faith,” because faith is a CHOICE you make, and it takes hard work and perseverance to work it out and live and walk in it every moment of the day. Noah and his family persevered for 120 years when building the ark, Moses did before the Red Sea, Job persevered through his affliction, and Jesus did on the cross.

In this time of trial LET US PRAY with all our hearts for our country, our president, congress, and courts that God’s truth and justice prevail and we will once again be ONE Nation Under God.

Only through the Lamb of God can this be possible!

Hold on, walk and live in FAITH in GOD and PERSEVERE!

In addition to ministry I’m also a professional trumpet player. Over the years I have played and contracted with many musicians, and one thing equal if not greater than someone’s ability to play is that when they say that they will be at a gig on a specific date and time. When they do so we can Trust Them because we can TAKE THEM AT THEIR WORD.

However when it comes to Taking God At HIS Word from the Bible, most people scoff, saying:

'Isn’t the bible just a collection of ancient stories, fables and myths? Who is gullible enough to believe that old book in this modern intelligent age?

If that’s what you ’ve been told or believe, consider this…

Not only was the Bible the first book ever printed, but it is the most printed, studied, and authenticated book in the world. More than that, the Bible has documented detailed geographical, historical and scientific facts that confirm that its authorship could not come from men alone. For example, the dimensions of Noah’s ark are the same exact ratio of ideal ship design used today! (Look it up!!) If the Bible were not true, how would some ancient untrained ancient man (who had never seen rain or a boat on water!) know this unless it was Divinely Revealed?!?

So if you can trust another person at THEIR word, isn’t it reasonable to TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD? When you do, He will always reliably show up to your 'gig' at the right day and time.

In our latest tv program, Pastor Wayne continues with the study and comparisons of how words are used and perceived, especially as it relates to the progression from CONDUCT to ETHICS to MORALS to VIRTUE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. For both fun and education, Pastor Pastor Wayne also teaches on how many Bible verses are often misused out of context, sometimes in hilarious ways! You won’t want to miss this!

God is a God of the impossible! Just when it seems there is no possible solution or answer and your ship is about to sink, His mighty hand reaches out to save us. He always is our Rescuer and very present Helper in times of trouble so when we are in need, we can depend on Him to help us. But there are two vital things that we must do in order to receive his grace, and that is to Walk in FAITH and to Act in Obedience.

Before that which is 'impossible' can be moved out of the way ask yourself this — “Have you first done what God told you to do, or are you sitting back, procrastinating, or not being obedient to what He said?” Because it is only when we are in AGREEMENT with God and ACTING on what he has called us to do, that He can make that impossibility possible.

Consider this — What if Moses had not obeyed God and didn’t boldly declare before Pharaoh to “Let My People GO!!” What if at the Red Sea he did not obey to stretch out his staff when God told him to part the waters because he doubted that God would not act? But no — Moses didn’t doubt, obeyed, raised his staff in faith and watched God do the impossible, because he operated in FAITH and OBEDIENCE.

My friend, when the 'impossible' seems truly impossible, step out in faith and walk in obedience to what God is calling you to do and then the Impossible will become Possible according to you in partnership with God.

There once was a popular movement of athletes kneeling before a game to signal their devotion to a cause. This was a voluntary act of the will, and no one required them to do it.

However as today’s verses all reaffirm, someday we will ALL kneel. For some it will be VOLUNTARY in devotion to Christ, but for others it will be MANDATORY in recognition to those that refused to give devotion to something eternally greater when they had the chance.

You see, you can choose to KNEEL NOW to Christ of your own free will and recognize Him for who He is, or you can choose not to, only to realize too late that He is the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Friend, that day when all will kneel WILL COME. For those kneeling in adoration, it will be a time of great joy, for those out of obligatory acknowledgement, kneeling will be unimaginably more sorrowful.

Friend, make the decision Today to where your devotion lies! Kneel to Christ as your KING OF KINGS — to Him who is indeed the LORD OF LORDS.

Did you know that Jesus added two more commandments to the original ten? Yes, He did! And together they not only point the way to salvation, but they also give us the perfect guideline on living our life now and into eternity.

As Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 “I have not come to revoke The Written Law or The Prophets…but to fulfill them” and this is exactly what these two commandments do!

You see, these 'New' commandments aren’t really new as much as they are a succinct summary of the original ten where the first four speak of HONORING GOD and the remaining six of showing RESPECT to OTHERS.

Likewise, BELIEVING GOD and His promise of salvation in Christ honors God by taking Him at His Word as true, and LOVING OTHERS is the positive opposite of the last six commandments about how we treat others.

So Friend, if you really want to “Obey God,” follow commandments 11 & 12 and you will also have fulfilled all of the law.
