NOTES FROM PASTOR:

Time is short now due to the end of days time we are in. Do people fear God like Daniel in the Lion's Den? He is the LIVING GOD and steadfast!  

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you!  Matthew 6:33

Oh death where is thy sting? Sin is death. We have victory through Jesus!  Oh grave, where is thy victory? Thank you that God gives us the real victory!  As we seek the Kingdom of God and love the Lord thy God with all of our heart, He will be with us. We need to love our neighbors as ourselves.

• The Kingdom of God is at hand.  

• Make way for our God!

• Jesus fulfilled it all! He's the door!!!!! Rev. 3:20 - He is the veil - the door! He tore down the old temple to come IN UNTO WHOEVER OPENS THE DOOR!

• By HIM to reconcile all things unto Himself!  

• We are not merely followers, we are literal carriers of His presence. Colossians 3 - read whole chapter!  It is about our new life and what it represents.

• Man is justified by the faith of Jesus Christ! Not by works of the law! No flesh is justified or cleared of guilt from law. It's all in Jesus! 

• I __________(put in your name) live by faith with the Lord Jesus. I do not frustrate the grace of God. If righteousness comes by the law it frustrates grace.

• Jesus is our righteousness! It's all IN HIM.

• There is only a door knob on one side of the door of our heart. We have to open that door!  

We Encourage You to Give:

5. Proverbs 3:9-10

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. Read More

Honor the LORD. This requires giving proper weight to your wealth by using it only for righteous, just, and equitable purposes (“in all your ways acknowledge him,” v. 6), which begins with offering the firstfruits of everything to the Lord (see Deut. 18:1–5). To give the firstfruits is to imply that the whole belongs to God, indeed the whole worshiper. The prosperity described in Prov. 3:10 is the blessing of the covenant (Deut. 28:1–14), a kind of restored Eden. Your barns will be filled with plenty is a generalization concerning the effect of honoring the Lord with all that one has and is. It is not, however, more than a generalization (as Job’s comforters held), for to view this as a mechanical formula dishonors God and his inscrutable sovereign purposes. (Source)
