I have heard and read many arguments on the web about what we call the "Rapture" as not being in the bible. Well, maybe it isn't in that exact word but in the Bible, it is so according to Paul. Read what he had to say in 1 Thessalonians 4:13.

Please keep in mind that those who believe and are saved will only be asleep spiritually until the Lord comes, All others, well, I'll let you draw your own conclusion

"13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."

Pennsylvania and Covid19

Here is something that I came across on Facebook I think all should read.



"How does one dog (or wolf in our case) control all those sheep at once? FEAR...It's actually a very fitting name when referring to certain people.. Do you know Sheep will follow each other, even over a cliff??? That's about what we're witnessing these past couple of months. Fear and panic driven sheep following each other, but never stopping to question why?
Before I went out yesterday with my mom, I called the small Mennonite store we visit often to ask them if they require their customers to wear masks...I do not and will not shop in places that do. The woman said "we prefer our customers to breathe fresh air, and we don't wear them ourselves" I proceed to thank her for not being afraid to do what's right, and grateful for her common Sense, which we are finding is not so common anymore 🙄.
When we arrived there, they were pretty busy. Shockingly enough my mother and I were the only two people out of about 30 that did not have masks on, other than the owners and workers who also did not have masks on!!! It was very disheartening to say the least. Now common sense would tell you that if the owners didn't have masks on, they must not mind if their customers do or don't??? Nope, people still had them on. There was a gentleman who even turned completely away from us and shuffled sideways while walking past us... If you're that terrified, you should seriously just stay home, and have rebels like me and my mom shop for you 😏
it really started to make me think of another interesting fact about sheep... They only obey the voice of their master. If you are I were to try and call a herd of sheep over, they would not obey us, but as soon as they heard the voice of their Master, they would obey. This is Also very profound in the Biblical sense... Unfortunately in this case, the voice of their master is Governor wolf and his side chick, I mean side kick😐 it didn't matter that the owner said it was okay to not wear a mask, they were still obedient to the voice of a tyrant, a wolf, a predator.
People are so blinded by the fear that He and the media has instilled, so much so that many refuse to listen to reason, refuse to listen to facts even when they are presented to them.
It's honestly been nothing but doom and gloom every where we go and there's not been ONE SINGLE TIME that anyone else other then myself, my kids or my mom hasn't had a mask on. Where's all the leaders? Where's all the business owners who have the power to open up, but choose not to out of fear??? Where's all the pastor's that willingly closed the church doors, even though they were exempt, they just handled over their rights??? Knowing what's right but choosing not to stand up for it is an even bigger problem then those who purposely set out to do harm! We the people far outnumber them, but yet we're scared. How many times in history has just a handful of tyrants overthrown many, because of fear? There is power in numbers, United we stand, divided we fall.
I'm not going to give up taking a stand for my rights, and I will continue to be that example for my children. I have had many conversations with people about why I don't wear a mask, or what my perspective is on ALL of this, and I do my best to kindly educate them, as I am a medical professional and one would think that would give me some kind of leverage...lol.. not so much, not with everyone... sometimes it can get heated, and although I thoroughly enjoy confrontation from time to time (just ask my ex 🤔) it gets exhausting, and I just want to shop and be in peace without the glares and comments. There's really no talking sense into some people, so I pick my battles.
Fear has been pounded into our minds for months now by the media. Those of us who see through the agenda are wise enough to ignore it, we know that there's most definitely an ulterior motive... Here's some words that the media uses to draw people in, create fear, and gain control, these words have become a part of everyday language, everywhere you go and every station you turn on you hear them repetitively...it's a form of mind control, just like these ridiculous masks...
Brace yourself especially if you're a sheep reading these, they may send you into a panic attack...social distancing, pandemic, outbreak, community spread, contact tracing, self-quarantine, isolation, contagious, infectious, virus, mitigation, stay home, spikes, immunization, testing, incubation period, compromised, contaminated, essential, corona...and the big scary one..COVID-19...these words have driven fear and outright panic into so many. I get being scared, but we have to stop and listen to reason, we need to be free thinkers and teach our children the same.
So how about that 19 in covid??? It's been around since then, hasn't it??? This virus has been around since about October-ish. So tell me, how is it, it didn't spread like "wildfire" until it hit the news media🤔??? Or did it??? Many of us were sick or knew of someone that was sick anywhere between December and February. I, myself was sick with this mystery virus the end of January into February and it wasn't the flu. There was indeed something spreading quickly throughout my co-workers, church family, my kids and their friends, but we all got better, didn't panic, didn't give it much thought, just became a bit more mindful of washing our hands and staying home if we were sick, you know common sense measures. Several of my coworkers have gotten the antibody testing done, and it's come back positive for having this virus...am I surprised, no. Why isn't that being looked at more. Why is big pharma pushing so hard for a vaccine, when clearly MOST get over it, and many have already had it as we're finding out.
So here we are in May and life has been turned upside down and Don't even think about coughing in public you MONSTER!!! The flu, allergies, and common cold are non-existent in the minds of many!!! It's COVID all day every day baby!!!and The highly coveted mask is the new "false security" for these people. The mask will keep us safe and anyone who doesn't wear The MASK is the enemy!!! I see people walking outside alone wearing a mask, driving by themselves in a car wearing a mask!!! it is extremely unhealthy and very dangerous to be wearing masks like this. It's called hypercapnia, due to carbon dioxide toxicity, which is caused by constantly breathing in exhaled CO2. These masks do not prevent a virus from going through. Do we know that the eyes are susceptible as well? People are told to keep their hands away from their face but yet because of the mask most people's hands are always at their face adjusting it! How about you just go home after shopping and wash your hands? do people realize how many people before them touched that gallon of milk or carton of eggs or anything else you buy, before it made its way to them??? HAHAHA! good grief..nope the mask will protect.
Let me ask this question, Now follow along sheep if you're reading...that's what you do best isn't it... follow?
So when the 💩virus hit the fan back in mid-March, we were told it'd be 2 weeks of quarantine, and only businesses deemed "essential" could operate(I hate that word)...we get to mid- April, a month later, still locked down, people without income, businesses going under...but we weren't doing it right!!!! Fools!!!..We needed to up the ante and wear masks!!!
How is it a MONTH after the media sends everyone into a frenzy, AFTER YOU HAD PEOPLE TRIPPING ALL OVER THEMSELVES BUYING TOILET PAPER!!!! NO MASKS! big box stores packed everyday, that we are not all dead????? HOW???? why are we not all infected??? Could it be it was already here before all the hype??? Could it be many already had it, or many had immunity to it, and some that did get it, didn't even realize what they had! Based on FACTS, I believe we wouldn't have known any different that this thing existed, BUT since the media told us to be afraid, here we are shut down over a facade!!!
We are now into our 2nd month of shutdown over a virus that has affected LESS then 1% of the population. That means there's a 99% survival rate. This had gone from a 2 week quarantine, to being the new norm until about 2022 when a vaccine is developed??? What?? And people are accepting this!!!??? Heck NO!!! To date, more people die from the flu, more die from cancer, no cure for that, no cure for Aids, how long has that been around now??? We didn't shut down our economy over it, or over the swine and bird flus...why??? Why didn't we???? ASK YOURSELF WHY??? heart disease is a biggie!!! should we shut down McDonalds??? Ok forget I said that...the Mcrib is awesome and when it comes around, I'm less edgy...but guess what, despite my choice for eating something that's probably really bad for me😳... MY BODY MY CHOICE!!! Isn't that phrase all you murderous liberals use when taking the lives of millions of innocent babies???? Imagine abortion being a necessity all this time???? and I can't even get my fractured tooth fixed!!! Here's an idea, quit screwing!!! That's also a CHOICE!!!
WHOOOO IM FIRED UP!!! I'm done with the lies, and I'm especially done with Tyrant Wolf and Shim, you know that guy with lipstick🤢... here's a NEWSFLASH... just cause you cover your penis with a skirt, that DOESN'T MAKE YOU A WOMAN!!! All of this is so ridiculous and Most of us knew there was going to be a next "big thing" to distract, and try to destroy our president, since the impeachment hearings didn't work out so well.
Most of us also know there's some really good doctors and medical professionals who are trying to stand up for the benefits of hydroxychloroquine, not to mention how affordable it is, but yet dr. Doom is pushing for another option with astronomical cost. Why? Because he's concerned with the side effects of hydroxychloroquine. Have you ever watched commercials advertising medications and their possible side effects, some of those side effects include death???? I mean it doesn't get much worse than that.
Here's some reasons why this insanity continues... Democrats want Trump out at any cost, and will risk sinking our economy to do just that. They know what they stand to lose, and they want their power back....also, there's a lot of money to be made from disease and a new vaccine... Which is bogus by the way..
Ever ask yourself why people like Bill Gates have any authority on which to speak about this virus? Money, power, Greed, CONTROL... That's what all of this is about and unless we open our eyes and speak up, we will be lead to the slaughter as well. Our freedoms are being stripped away from us, some subtly, and some very obvious. I cautious each of you to be very mindful of what's going on behind the scenes as well. A lot of what's happening is also a distraction. Democrats are pushing for laws that at this point and time we may not be aware of because we're looking the other way...stay mindful on what's going on in other arenas of the government.
I'm thankful for states such as Georgia and Florida that have pushed back and pretty much gotten back to normal. Guess what, no spikes there!!! No uncontrollable outbreaks. As a matter of fact their numbers have gone down since getting back to normal everyday life. Why not us? Control, money, power, greed.
Let's continue to push back. It's important to speak the truth, but we have to be cautious how we approach certain people. Some are just very naive and scared, but willing to listen, some are psychopaths so I caution you to pick your battles 😳 let's be examples of what a TRUE PATRIOT is for our children. This is their future!!! Just like my pappy fought for my freedom, I'll fight for theirs!!!
In closing... finally😳...I'd like to say what an amazing group this has turned out to be! I'm so thankful for the unity, like-mindedness, patriotism and courage... except for those few sheep who get out of their pen every now and then and make their way here, trying to graze in pastures where they don't belong!!!... I know for myself, being here lets me know that I'm not alone in all this...if I could have a party and invite you all...I would...❤️ God bless...let's fight the good fight together...Romans 8:31..if God be for us, who can be against us? Stay strong and vigilant friends ❤️"

Lesson for the week 1 Timothy 2:1-7 New King James Version

1 Timothy 2:1-7 New King James Version

Pray for All Men

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

May you,  

The Reader, Be bKessed by these words :)

Lesson for the Week:

1 Timothy 1:12-17 New King James Version

Glory to God for His Grace

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

May you, the reader be blessed by these words :)

Philemon 1-21

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our dear friend and co-worker, to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective when you perceive all the good that we may do for Christ. I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my brother.
For this reason, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do your duty, yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love-- and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful both to you and to me. I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I wanted to keep him with me, so that he might be of service to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel; but I preferred to do nothing without your consent, in order that your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced. Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother-- especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self. Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ. Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

May you, the Reader, be blessed by these words :)

Dear all:
I have been struggling with an issue for some time; One that affects us all.
In fairly recent decisions by the powers to be in the Episcopal Church of America, the issue of Gay Marriage has come up. Now, before anybody gets their panties in a wad, this is not about bashing people who live the lifestyle but rather the lifestyle itself.

I, for one, am very disappointed the Episcopal Church has decided to go the path of Gay Marriage and has even gone as far as to penalise any priest who refuses to do it as In the case of Bishop Love.

I do side with Bishop Love because I believe he is Biblically correct in obeying Pauls instruction in 1 Timothy 5:22 which tells us to not to lay our hands on another sin and to keep ourselves pure.

I do not believe it is right to hate or bash or otherwise denigrate another. Now, if they come to the church seeking faith and fellowship, then, of course, we give it to them.
However, when the time comes for that person to make a decision as to whether or not that wish to walk with the Lord and they refuse to give up that kind of lifestyle and say that's Okay, I don't want to change, then we are NOT to pat them head and say that's Okay, we will change to suite your “needs”.
It is at that moment we violate Pauls instructions. Please keep in mind, the word of God does not change,God does not change, Jesus does not change, WE CHANGE!

I well realise the argument is out there that Jesus never commented on Homosexual behaviour. The truth of the matter is, he couldn't. He said as much in John 5:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
So, in light of this, we know the Father has never made any further comment since the original condemnation in Leviticus and neither could Jesus.
To sum up:
No, I do not want to see the Episcopal or any other church dissolve because of the false teachings of modern Progressive Liberalism which is what is happening now with a deep divide within congregations.
What I do want and pray for is for our badly misguided leaders to return to the teachings in the Bible and follow it like the African Bishops have elected to do and some Protestant denominations like the United Methodist Church which are cases in point.

Lesson for the week: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 (NKJV)

2 Corinthians 6:1-13  (NKJV)

Marks of the Ministry

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Be Holy

11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

May you, The Reader, Be Blessed by these words  :)
