Walking in holiness -Psalm 133:1

Word of Wisdom for the People of God...We can't make a difference in the world if we are not together. God is calling His people to walk in holiness. That simply means we will give up the world and make a total committment to follow Jesus. It's time out for having a country club church mentality instead of a Holy Church.

We can't dwell together in unity until we are saying what the Word of God is saying. We must agree with the Word. Amos ask the question .."Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?" We must be in agreement with the Word of God. We can't walk on two roads at the same time. One is a road that leads to destruction if you are trying to be in the world and then on Sunday, you want to be holy. That's doubleminded and it's time to give it up."A double minded man is unstable in all his ways"(James1:8NKJV). Let's be real. Time is out for churchgoers. We need some committed soldiers that is committed to Jesus Christ and His teachings. Annie Dennis Eskridge, author of Sin Abides....email areskridge@sbcglobal.net. website:www.ruthplace.com.

Let's Keep It Real(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Today, I reread a friend's blog. It's true that many Christians doesn't take their walk with the Lord serious. The Scripture tells us to lay aside all weights."Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"(Hebrews 12:1-2NKJV).

We see the cloud of witnesses which is the people of faith as mention in Hebrews chapter 11. They are not watching us, but they are testifying the truth of the faith. The word weight means anything that hinders your walk. Looking means our eyes should be fixed or focus on Christ instead of our own circumstances. Christ had done everything necesary for us to keep our faith. He is our model. He has set an excellent for us to follow. He didn't focus on agonies of the Cross, but on the crown, not on suffering, but the reward to follow. We should be doing the same thing. I know it's not easy, but Saints we got to work at it. It might hurt, but I would rather give up all ungodly activities to follow Jesus.

The Word of God tells us "THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE ME"(Exodus 20:3NKJV). God is the only living God. He and He alone must be worship. Just think about that. We are not suppose to pledge to nothing but to the True and Living God. You can remain in those things, but it hinders the anointing from being strong. You just can't serve two gods. if you want a strong anointing on your life, then give up the organization. I love you all, I want the best for you and your ministry.

Saint, I had to give up the other organizations when I was younger. I had a father that was a Minister of the Gospel, who told me I couldn't belong. I thank God for what my father taught me because he went to be with the Lord. Let's keep it real. I still love my friends and I pray for them to be set free from whatever is holding them in those organization. Annie Dennis Eskridge, author of Sin Abides...website.http://www.ruthplace.com

Thinking Right When Things Go Wrong- John C. Hutchison

With the heart of a pastor and the mind of a Bible teacher, John Hutchison provides guide that helps Christians understand biblical passages about trials and suffering. Beautiful in its concept and shape and scriptural fidelity, "Thinking Right When Things Go Wrong" tells us how joy and woe are woven find to strengthen our faith and glorify God.

One thought there is no question that God's preferred method of evangelism is to emboy Christ's message in people like you and me. That is why Christ came to the earth. If you are like me you would probably avoid the experience of pain whenever possible. If you are a Christian and live accordingly, you will be persecuted, hated, and rejected by other people. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do wtih the one we represent, namely Jesus Christ. This book gives biblical wisdom for surviving tough times. This is a very interesting book for all Christians. You can order online or from any local Christian book store. Dr. Hutchison was one of my professor at Talbot Theological Seminary.it was an honor to sit under his teaching. I highly recommend this book.

Hosea 4:6 NKJV-Lack of Knowledge

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me. Because you have forgotten the law Your God, I will also forget your children."

This Scripture has often been taught to the members that we are destroyed due to lack of knowledge.The passage means due to Israel's religious leaders that caused the people's downfall. The priest failed to teach God's law to the people in other words, God's Word.(Mal 2:7). In the Old Testament, the prophets was commonly called a Messenger of the Lord. This is the only time that the priest are called the Messengers of the Lord.

Yes,if the people aren't taught the Word of God correctly by the priestly line, then God will deal with His priest. As a result, the priests would be the special object of God's judment. He would terminate the priestly line.

How to Plead the Blood- Whyte

Just recently I received an email from a young lady. She was so confused from what had been said at church. She had been reared in a Pentecostal Church now, she is in a different one. Her parents would always plead the Blood of Jesus over her before she went to school. Her present church does not believe it is in the Bible.

Well, I don't debate what is in the Bible or what someone else believes. I have always heard the Old Saints pleading the Blood of Jesus over me as a child. Pleading the blood stirs up the backslider and offend the uncrucified flesh or the carnal believer. But in spite of opposition, the use of the blood will clean up any church or prayer group and make way for the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. Oh, the power of the blood of Jesus!

In 1906, they greatly honored the blood in those days and would sang,
"Under the blood, the precious blood; Under the cleansing, healing blood; Keep me, Savior, from day to day, Under the precious blood." Just from singing and mention of the blood in those days there was no end to the revelations of the power and move of God.

Pastor Whyte understood the Blood of Jesus and shares it in his book. His revealing exploration of the blessings to be found in Christ's blood. As you delve deep into the newly revised and expanded version of the classic best-seller,"The Power of the Blood.' You will find out how to experience God's complete forgiveness, become spiritually empowered, equipped, and energized. Then break the terrifying grip of fear and torment, create an atmosphere for miracles and defeat oppression, addictions and sickness.

Then, for those who says it's not in the Bible, he uses Scripture to prove his points. Unconfessed sin is never under the blood; only when it is confessed and forsaken are we covered and protected. This blog was taken from the book...How to Plead the Blood ...by H. A. Maxwell Whythe. It is my prayer that you will obtain a copy of the book. Whyte has sold over 500,000 copies. To God be the glory. Annie Dennis Eskridge, author of Sin Abides.
