This one stop shop method to fully staffing all the IT wishes of a health facility takes a lot of pressure off of the facilitator and also saves a good quantity of time in the end.

Classical apologetics which, according to my understanding, attempts to prove the existence of God through deductive arguments. The primary reason I consider this approach virtually ineffective is because I do not believe God’s existence can be irrefutably proven through the utilization of logical and rational arguments. Man’s reasoning ability is too restricted. Human ingenuity cannot reach so high as to logically and theoretically prove, without the inkling of a doubt, the existence of God.

The problem with the various arguments, whether it be the cosmological (God as efficient cause) or the teleological (God as final cause), or any other form, in the great final analysis God is not proven or necessarily indicated. The objections of atheists or other non-believers and critics to these arguments are very succinct, detailed, and not easily ignored. For example, suppose the opposition responds to the cosmological argument for God’s existence in the following manner:

Why does the uncaused cause have to be God? If there must be a first uncaused cause, what proof is there that it is God? It may just as well be the world, or an “existence” but not necessarily God as the Christian conceive of Him.

Who can argue that the opposition makes a valid point?

Even if we think in terms of the world as being in the process of decaying (second law of thermodynamics), it fails to prove absolutely that the world was not always in existence. The second Law implies that if the present deterioration continues, the universe will subsequently die. But non-believers may consider the word IF to be of vital importance for their argument that the world has always existed. Suppose the deterioration process discontinues? Suppose it slowly begins a process of reparation? If the world was always in existence, and man having not always been in existence and therefore incapable of observing space and time immemorial, is it not possible to conceive of a vicissitudinous world; that is, a world that experiences phases of deterioration and reparation?

Of course, to think this way a person would certainly have to believe in the idea of a self created universe. And even though this notion may repulse the Christian, the inevitable question the non-Christian may legitimately pose is: Is the notion of a self created world any more absurd or irrational than the idea of a self created God?

Apologists who utilize this approach to defending the faith are seemingly, on an argumentative treadmill; constantly moving but going nowhere.

If someone asserts the belief that no God exists, his claim cannot be positively refuted. I cannot conceive of any rational possibility for a strict proof or an adequate demonstration of God which could prevail over and against such an assertion. There just isn’t any absolute, or to borrow from Kant, purely rational way to prove God’s existence that will pass universal inspection and carry universal conviction.

Therefore, classical apologetics, in my estimation, fails to deduce God by theoretical reasoning. It neglects to assure with infallible certainty the existence of God. Consequently, it falls short as an effective method of clarifying and defending the Christian truth.

The bottom line: credo ut intelligam.

Blessings to all!

In the book of Psalms 68:34 it says Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies. You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! In Isaiah 40:10 it says See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him.

God appoints his power to whom he pleases. Look at Acts10:37 it says You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

Now look at 2Corinthians 12:9 it says But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for the power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest one me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

It says in Ephesians 1:18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

In Philippians 3:10 it says I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection for the dead. Now look at Colossians 1:10 it says And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus is like Melchizedek. Look at Hebrews 7:15 it says And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For it is declared: You are priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Look at what Paul said in the Book of 2Timothy 1:6 it says For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline.

Jesus is so powerful look what is says in Luke 24:19 it says What things? He asked. About Jesus of Nazareth, they replied. He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. Now look at Hebrews 1:3 it says The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

Look at Revelation 4:10 it says the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say; You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by you will they were created and have their being.

Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ,

But, unless one dies to themselves, It’s a life never lived; A life with selfishness, A heart that never learned to give.

The things we held on to, We thought we couldn’t live without; Were the very lies Satan fed us, To keep us trapped in death’s cloud.

For when we die to the flesh And live by the MASTER’S rule, We find we never lost anything, But Satan; vicious and cruel.

The path to peace and victory is God’s will; God’s way, every time. Because, God is for you, knowing your need better than you know yourself and only He knows which path will meet it and defeat Satan.

The reasons we serve God graduate the more we come to know Him; for our safety and benefit, it’s exciting to see what God wants to do next, His plan is better than ours, because we love Him, for who He is. With each step of obedience, we discover life more abundantly and a God who loves beyond measure.

As God ministers to the soul; He replaces Satan’s lies with truth, heals, sets us free, teaches about who He is (a process of restoring our innermost self to its’ original creation, separate from evil.) In so doing, God gives light to the darkness within, gradually indwelling us … as, once we know the truth, we choose Him.

Devotedly, we, then, begin to serve God (having experienced His perfection) for what He’s already done for us, for who He is, out of love alone. He is worthy to be praised.

By the time we’ve reached this far in our own spiritual journey, knowing the depths of Satan, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God’s instruction is the path to life.

If our desires don’t match God’s will, we’re not in our right mind.

Have you ever stopped to consider that God’s peace keeps us? The word that we just read said it does. It keeps our hearts or spirits, and it also keeps our mind or soul.

In today’s world you see all kinds of self help programs designed to help people deal with everyday life situations. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on therapy and anxiety disorder programs that are designed to help people cope with every day stresses. I am not discouraging these things or saying they are wrong in and of them selves but I am saying God’s Word is showing us a better way.

I realize in our extremely busy paced lives, it is sometimes easy to forget the reason for our very existence. We are here to serve God. God our Father wants us to be happy and blessed, not stressed and vexed, yet that is the way most people are. That is because they don’t know the One who gives life and peace. Jesus said this very thing.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus talking to His disciples is saying He has given us His peace. This is not the kind of peace that comes from having lack of pressure; it is the peace that comes regardless of what life throws your way. We don’t live in a vacuum, just the opposite, we live in the most stressed out time in history. We know that life can throw a lot of things at us, and many times we feel like, why is this happening to me! I know this; regardless of what the world throws at us; God’s peace will keep us! We have a job and a responsibility to receive what Jesus has given to us. Even though He has given it to us, we have to learn to receive it and walk in it.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

There is a set of instructions to follow that tells us how to let God’s peace rule us.

This is not automatic; we must obey God’s Word in order to receive this blessing of peace.

Even though Jesus has already told us He has left us His peace, that does not mean that we are automatically walking in it. If that were so, there would not be any stressed out Christians. I believe if we all followed His precepts and walked according to His word, there would be no stressed out Christians. We know that is not the case, so what do we as believers need to do to become partakers of this awesome promise.

Let’s look at what we just read. First of all the Word is telling us we must let the peace of God rule in our hearts. We have to let it. Have you ever considered this? We have to give God permission to let His peace rule us. If we won’t let it, it won’t rule us. That may sound hard but it is the way it is. God is a gentleman and He won’t come in uninvited or where He is not welcome. It may not be your intention to be unwelcoming towards Him but when you hold on to anxiety and care, that is exactly what you are doing. You may say well you just don’t know what I am going through. That may be true but God does and He is the One that matters. He wants to take that burden from you and give you his peace. You have to let it go.

– Simple English
1 Peter 5:7 Throw all your worries onto God, because He cares for you.

To throw means to use force to expel something away from you. This is not always easy but is something we can do with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. You have to throw the burden onto God and then receive His peace in place of that burden.
You have to cast or throw your cares and worries onto God. He truly loves you and wants you to be anxiety free. This is not denial of reality; this is walking hand in hand with the one who sustains you. See the difference?

The next thing Paul said to the Colossians was to be thankful. Be thankful for what?

Be thankful you are alive unto God and not dead in your trespasses and sins. Be thankful for God’s provision and blessing. That is just a start. Have you ever considered that it is hard for God to be gracious to his children when they are not grateful for what they have? Start praising Him for what you have got. Give Him something to work with. Have a grateful heart!

And finally Paul said to let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Let God’s Word dwell in you! Let God’s Word dwell in you richly. Meaning, put God’s Word first place in your life. Keep it before your eyes. Dwell on the problem solver not the problem. It is impossible to do both at the same time. You must choose one or the other. It is up to you which one it is going to be.

Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

God is even telling us which one to choose. He wants us to succeed. This is His desire for us His children.
It is truly hard to have an anxious heart when you have cast your burden onto Him and are praising Him and giving Him thanks. A thankful heart is a heart that receives more of God’s blessings, I am convinced of it.

I would like to go back and look at our opening Scripture in the Revised Standard Version. It goes hand in hand with what the A,postle Paul was saying to the Colossians.

Phil:4: 6-8. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

God’s Word is telling us to take some steps in order for us to get His peace. We too often want to have instant success, it just doesn’t work that way, we have to follow God’s instruction book. His instruction book, the Word of God, or the Bible, gives us specific instructions.
When we follow His precepts, we get His results. When we don’t follow His precepts, we don’t get His results. It’s that simple. Let’s look at what Paul said to the Philippians and see exactly what he said to do.

1.) have no anxiety about anything,
That means not to worry. If your faith is in God and His Word then you will not
be worrying. You can not walk in worry and faith at the same time. They do not co-exist.

2.) but in everything by prayer, and supplication
That is going to the Father in Jesus name and making your request made known to Him.
This is just another way of saying to petition God with your needs. He already knows your needs but He has told us to ask Him. James said Yet you do not have because you do not ask. (James 4:2) We must ask.

3.) with thanksgiving,
Thanking Him that He hears your prayers, thanking Him for the answer. A faith filled prayer prays according to God’s Word and believes that the prayer has been heard.
We can have confidence that our prayer has been heard when we pray this way. The apostle John said this very thing.

1 John 5:14. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

4.) let your request be made known to God.
His Word even tells us what to pray, we are to pray according to His will, or His Word as we just read in 1Jn.

5.) vs.8.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Do these things and God’s peace will rule your hearts and minds. I know this is true. Amen

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Do you want to be a joint heir with Christ?
If so, I urge you to earnestly pray the following prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Your word says, “…and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” (Jn.6:37),

So I know You won’t cast me out, but You take me in, And I thank you for it. You said in your Word, “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Ro. 10:13).

I am calling on Your name, So I know You have saved me now, You also said, “…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.” (Ro.10:9,10).

I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess Him now as my Lord, Because Your Word says, “… with the heart one believes to righteousness…” and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21),

And I am saved!

Thank You, Lord!

I can now truthfully say, I see myself as a born again child of God!

Glory to God!!!!

Amen.

One of the most important aspects in communicating is that we have to learn first how we should listen to others. We all love to speak and give our opinions, but before we do this, we all have to learn how to listen and understand where the other person is coming from before we can intelligently converse with that person at his or her own level. We all come from different backgrounds in growing up so that this can basically influence how we think and understand what life is all about. So here it’s easy to understand why having a democracy is so important. In a democracy individuals have the right to say what they think whereas in a dictatorship they don’t. But on the other hand, one has to realize that having a democracy is not a cure-all for having the ability to converse freely. Within a democracy you also have to protect minority rights. And some democracies do a poor job in doing this. But even if you do a good job in protecting minority rights, there are still a number of individuals within this minority who feel that they are not being listened to. And unfortunately, sometimes they resort to violence to demonstrate this. But here I’m only talking about democracy within a single county, and I feel we have to go beyond this. This is because it doesn’t include
different cultures, although you can find different cultures to a lesser extent within a single country. But on a much broader scale one will find many different cultures existing around the world, which we would have to include in this equation as well. So the initial listening process has to start between individuals and then maybe it can mushroom out (more effectively within democracies) so that eventually it can encompass society worldwide.

Now what are some of these more basic issues that tend to divide people? One is on the role women should play within society. Now this has divided Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Some Christians feel that women should not be pastors, whereas other Christians feel that women could be. But it’s dealt with peaceably by Christians joining different denominations depending upon their belief here. This is dealt with in the same way by the Jewish religion. But within the Muslim religion, you will find in a number of instances in which
the women are physically and emotionally abused. This, however, is gradually being changed through a more comprehensive educational system. Another point of division is on
homosexuality. This is a more potent division within Christianity, Judaism, Islam and most other religions. Here you have to define what doing what comes naturally means according to each religious belief, since homosexuality now seems in most cases to develop at birth, and not as a willful activity. A third divisive issue has been the one on abortion and all the
world’s religions tend to be divided over this one. Here one has to decide as to whether a fetus is a human being or a potential human being, which could determine how one would feel about this issue. And other divisive issues that should be dealt with are race, ethnicity, poverty, AIDS, and 2 minor issues (transvestism and transexualism) in that they affect fewer people, but are very potent divisive issues nevertheless. How should one deal with these issues and any other divisive issue that might come to your mind? This is the basic question that has to be answered.

Now some, especially within the Muslim faith, feel that they can force their belief system upon others. This never works, and what happens is that you generally form a dictatorship, which can give you an external appearance that everyone seems to be following the same belief system. But in reality you would find that internally the people’s belief system could be quite different. And I believe God only looks at the people’s
internal belief system. This is why we need a freedom of religious choice in our society. The answer to all of this would be in listening to others, and even if we might disagree, respecting their opinions considering the environmental upbringing they’re coming from. And at the same time we should share our opinions keeping in mind the environmental background that we’re coming from. In this way others can take from our opinion, thoughts that might improve their lives, and we can take thoughts from their opinions, that might improve our lives. This always begins with individuals, but eventually it could grow into a world-wide movement. This is how communication should work where TRUTH will eventually emerge as the predominant societal guide.

A Biographical Sketch

I was born in New York City in 1931, grew up on Long Island, graduated from Roanoke College in Virginia with a BA in Political Science, and from New York Theological Seminary with a Masters in Religious Education. I became a committed Christian in 1958, and after a number of years became
a committed Ecumenical Christian. I worked as an accountant in various companies for about 25 years in New York City, then moved down to Argentina and worked for about 20 years as a Business English conversationalist teacher with some of the top managers. My greatest positive life-changing experience occurred in the early 70’s when I became very active for about 3 years in a social nudist (both sexes) camp. I also became a Stephen Minister (trained counselor) while down here. Married twice (the last to an Argentine) widowed once, no children, one cat.

Philippians 4.19: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

One Friday morning, I was supposed to go to a nearby nursing home to hold a service. I had been experiencing a particularly rough series of “testings” of my faith, and I was a little discouraged. I wondered how I could go preach when my circumstances were desperate. I knew that I had barely enough gas in my old Pontiac to get to the nursing home, and I had no money to buy food, let alone gas. So, I was particularly exasperated.

I said, “Lord, I’m just not going. No one appreciates what I do, and here I am preaching your word and broke as a broken door knob. On top of that, everything else is falling apart and you are supposed to help me. I’m just going to go get on that old tractor and mow. I’ll forget about preaching.”

I hadn’t drove that tractor twenty feet, and suddenly fire shot out from the carburetor, and the tractor stopped. I said, “Okay Lord, I get the message. I’ll go preach.”

Someone had given me a citizens band radio, and I was thinking that after the nursing home service, I could go by the pawn shop and maybe get five or 10 dollars for it. That would be enough to buy gas to get back home.

I got dressed in one of my second hand suits, and drove on over to the nursing home. There at the door to greet me was Brother Dixon. As soon as he saw me, his face lit up, and he reached for my Bible. That was his job, to carry my Bible in his lap as I rolled his wheelchair to the small chapel. As soon as we begin singing, “Amazing Grace”, the presence of the Lord filled that little chapel. The Lord gave me a message of encouragement and hope, and as the “Praise the Lords” and “Amens” rang out from those old raspy throats, and as feeble hands were raised up to heaven, I knew, that despite all the opposition of the enemy, I had won the victory and the Lord was pleased.

After the service, I drove the two miles to the pawn shop. In front of the shop, my old Pontiac spit, sputtered. and came to a halt. I was out of gas. I took the citizens band radio in the pawn shop. The pawnbroker took a look, and said, “I’ve got plenty of CBs, I don’t need another one.”

With crushed hopes, I walked out of the shop and onto the sidewalk. A middle aged woman came up to me and said, “I don’t know why, but God just told me to give you five dollars.” With a grateful heart and rejoicing in my spirit, I took this precious gift from God. Gas money to get back home! God made a way!

As tears came to my eyes, I thanked her and walked to the nearby gas station, borrowed their gas can, and bought the gas to make it back home.

The next day, I sold the CB radio for twenty dollars.

Hebrews 11.1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Footnote. This happened in 1988, and I am still preaching at that same nursing home. All of those at that 1988 service are no longer there, but new ones are. Brother Daryl now waits for me at the door, and carries my Bible in his lap as Brother Dixon used to do. The Lord has also brought me a mighty long way, and blessed me to have a good vehicle. I suppose that over the years, I have traveled thousands of miles to that nursing home, and since that one time, I have never again ran out of gas.

Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The season for forgiveness is almost over, the times of the gentiles is almost fulfilled, the reign of the non-Jew is almost finished. Sense the fall of Israel, the gentiles have ruled this world in its manner, making, laws and judgments according to their limited knowledge of God and His word. Leaning upon their own understanding. The times of the gentiles has been a time of wars and rumors of wars, a time of desiese and unholyness, a time of changeing the truth of Gods word into a lie, a misconception, a time of false religions and doctrine, and all of this in the name of freedom of religion. If you’ve noticed, in the times after the Bible had been written, very little has been heard of Israel and its people, untill the reistablishment of the Jewish nation. Now every where you turn, Israel has been in the spotlight. So what’s next for the gentiles? Judgment after ones death. For death waits for no-one, its inevitable and unrelenting. Believing in God and Christ is an individual matter but just believing in God is not enough for ones salvation. Paul stated that; He held to the doctrine that we are justified by faith; James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. No one forces you to believe, no one forces you to worship, but remember that no-one forces God to forgive. Isaiah, Daniel, and many others in scripture, believed in Hell. Many also believed in Hell, who do not believe in God. In scripture, Hell, is symbolized as a Pit. Isa 14:15-22; Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell( Inferno region, pit, neither region, perdition) to the sides of the pit(Cavern, Whole). They that see thee shall narrowly(In a narrow manner, not allowing for exceptions.) look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?” Speech in Hell is documented by scripture, showing feelings of, pain, suffering, regret and dis-allusion-ment. All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children(Armageddon)(The un-believers, the Lost) for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.( This statement proves that the Earth shall be rebuilt and be inhabited by others that will be forced to worship the True God.) (Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.) For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord. (All men shall die, no one shall be spared, there shall be wailing, greaving and gnashing of teeth, the Lord shall be triumphant over all.) Isa 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance(Overbearing, haughty, pride, domineering, snobbish.) of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. Isa 13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Eze 32:23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living. Isa 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Job.10:21-22, Isa.14:9.

The following circumstances are related of it in this parable:

1.It is “far off” from the abodes of the righteous. Lazarus was seen “afar off.” (The distance between Heavan and Hell is realised by these passages.) 2.It is a place of torment.(Hell is a place in the physical, Hell is not a spiritual meaning but a reality.) 3.There is a great gulf fixed between Hell and Heaven, Luke 16:26. (A gulf is an un-bridgeable disparity,(Chasm, a failure of understanding)(fixed means, unmovable, unchangable) 4.The suffering is great. It is represented by “torment” in a flame, Luke.16:24.( We can state according to scripture, Flames without light, heat of the utmost extream without the addition of light, IE., Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

5.There will be no escape from it, Luke 16:26. IE., Psalms 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Barnes states about Hell;(quote), The word “hell” here means, therefore, that dark, obscure, and miserable place, far from heaven, where the wicked shall be punished forever. He lifted up his eyes – A phrase in common use among the Hebrews, meaning “he looked,” Gen.13:10; Gen.18:2; Gen.31:10; Deu.8:3; Luke.6:20. Being in torment – The word “torment” means “pain, anguish” Mat.4:24; particularly the pain inflicted by the ancients in order to induce people to make confession of their crimes. These “torments” or tortures were the keenest that they could inflict, such as the rack, or scourging, or burning; and the use of the word here denotes that the sufferings of the wicked can be represented only by the extremest forms of human suffering. It is more, perhaps, than we are authorized to infer, that the wicked will “see” those who are in paradise. That they will “know” that they are there is certain; but we are not to suppose that they will be so near together as to be seen, or as to make conversation possible. These circumstances mean that there will be “a separation,” and that the wicked in hell will be conscious that the righteous, though on earth they were poor or despised, will be in heaven. Heaven and hell will be far from each other, and it will be no small part of the misery of the one that it is far and forever removed from the other.(Unquote.) Ref.; The suffering Mat.13:42, Mat.13:50, Mat.22:12, Mat.22:13, Mat.24:51, Mat.25:30; Luk.13:28; 2Pe.2:4, 2Pe.2:17; Jud.1:13. No Escape from Hell, Luk.12:59; Psa.50:22; Mat.25:46; Joh.3:36; 2Th.1:9; Rev.20:10, Rev.22:11

“But the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered”…

Romans 8:26

Christian Success and Motivation.

Many times, we try to succeed ourselves, as the Holy Spirit shakes His Head. We just don’t get it so many times.

For instance…did you know that you had a “Holy Success Spirit?”

That’s right…the Holy Spirit is a Master of Success and High Achievement and has never failed.

Not one time.

Ever.

In the Bible, His Holy Success Record is perfect, unblemished, untouched, and undefeated.

His Success Ratio is beyond perfect, along with His Holy Achievement track record that has only Success as it’s Holy Numbers.

He has never known anything but Success, as The Fathers’ Word does not return to Him void.

The thought of failure has never entered the Holy Spirit’s Holy, Perfect, Pristeen, Majestic Mind. Failure does not exist with Him, as that is a process of the world, not the Word. Success is what the Holy Spirit brings in all He does, and all He accomplishes.

The Holy Success Spirit helps us in our Success journey and most of the time we are not even aware of it. We many times are too busy living life and getting lost in all the details, to understand what the Holy Spirit is doing in our life.

He intercedes for us, in ways we cannot know, and will help you in your success path with the Father. His prayers for your Success go on daily, and with groans we could never understand.

The Holy Spirit is One, Incredible, Powerful, Motivational, Success Focused God.

The Holy Spirit is also a loving, gentle, caring Spirit of the Lord. He loves us so much, and wants only the best for us, and we many times get in His way when He is working in our lives.

But He is also powerful, strong, and willing to “go to bat” for us in heaven, with Him interceding on our behalf, and also helping us pray with His Holy Success Motivation Power. It is a Power and Success Voltage that we could never comprehend, and ever imagine.

Are you CONNECTED to that Holy Success Voltage of His? His Unlimited and Infinite Motivation Wattage is the same Wattage that created the universe!

How would you like THAT as part of your Supernatural Success Arsenal?

Have you tapped into that Power that Christ spoke of before He ascended to heaven?

Do you realize the mind boggling Holy Help you have in your prayers for Success in your life?

The Power you COULD be using that Jesus Himself spoke of?

Or are you letting your own spirit do all the work on your own low voltage almost burned out power?

That would be like praying with 9 battery volts of prayer power…verses 100 trillion volts times infinity with the Holy Spirit.

Are you plugged in? Is your Success Connected to that Power and Success Wattage?

ALL you have to do is ASK God for It — and His Touch will help EXPLODE your Success!

Do you believe that Power is waiting on you to plug in and start Succeeding so massivley that it would leave you speechless?

Go ahead! Connect to that Power of the Lord and be left totally speechless…

As He silently goes to work and speaking life into you dreams of Christian Success Motivation!
