The bible talks about  coming to God in worship in a correct way; he who worships God in spirit and in truth.  Another way of saying it might:  Be honest and realize that you are in the presence of Almighty God, respect Him, Honor Him and be sincere.

I have “discussed” with friends about “religion” and faith, but to them the two are both the same.

The truth of the matter is that faith is even misunderstood by many believers.  Too often, people think that because they are in a setting that is not their church, they cannot exhibit their faith as they would in their own church or around their friends.   Plain and simple to do so would be to deny Jesus with few exceptions and I totally realize there are some.

But, not praising God say at a Home going Service when invited to truly praise God because it isn’t our church may in fact be a “religious” act.  An act born out of traditions and habits that “seem” to be centered around God.  Our doing that…or compromising ourselves to allow the behavior of others in a spiritual environment; to impact our behavior…may actually be religious in nature and that pulls us away from honesty and sincerity!

Now…let’s talk about the Blood Of Jesus.   They are not just words.     I submit that Pleading The Blood Of Jesus is a Powerful Supernatural Event…and when you plead it with a pure heart…you open the door for an everyday miracle!

Jesus shed His Blood for us on the cross that we all who choose to make Him our Lord and Savior will have life forever!   There is no longer the sting of death!  We have the last laugh on that!

But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.  1 Corinthians 2: 8

The Blood that Jesus shed is so powerful that it saved mankind from eternal damnation and the devil works so hard to convince people that it isn’t true so hell won’t be empty!

The precious Blood of Jesus is a protection fo us.  When we envision in our hearts and with our faith that it is smeared on us or covers us…we are protected.  But, it has to be by faith.  One night I prayed when getting in the bed that the Blood of Jesus would protect me and I envisioned that it was all over my bed, me, the sheets, the pillows…it brought about my breakthrough.  The devil stopped tormenting me in my sleep.  Oh I have faith in the Blood of Jesus and there are countless others!

IT WAS A REAL WHO DUNIT….  

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.   And they straightway left  their nets, and followed  him.

Matthew 4   v. 19, 20

Another definition  that many of us have for the  word coincidence is Holy Ghost set up.

Dear Friend, God Bless you.  How are you doing?  I have to tell you, if you are reading this letter, just know that I pray for you and your family every day.  I started off praying for my family.  Then I added a few people, and a few more and before I knew it, I think there were over two hundred families in my prayer book that I specifically  pray for.     So I KNOW that “ALL IS WELL” with you.   Please remember that when it seems like it isn’t well…it is only temporary and that’s when God wants you to stand on your faith.

It has been a faith filled month for me.  One thing that I really learned was about “COINCIDENCES.”    I have been trying to tell my children this over and over every day and I won’t get tired ever…I just want them to “get it.” 

Let me tell you what happened to me.  I was online at a website that gives out free stuff.   I was so excited to be able to COLLECT all of this stuff for free.  When I prayed, I was really thanking God.  But not too long after that; I was led to give away something myself.  I kept thinking:  I don’t have anything to give away, that’s why I’m getting free stuff from other people. (smile)    Then, I remembered that we had this Brand New Power Sprayer by Wagner that we paid good money for. 

So, since we never used it, I checked with John to see if it was okay to give it away.  After he said okay, I posted it as AVAILABLE at the various sites.   I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of mail!  I was swamped with mail.  I read over 90 emails and decided to give it to a young couple.  I put it on my porch and they came and got it.  Anyway, I was online later and I received an email from a girl who lived way out somewhere.  She wanted to know if the Power Sprayer was still left.  I promptly wrote her back to say that the POWER SPRAYER  was long gone.

I’m going to call her Betty to protect her confidence.    Betty wrote me right back.

“Thank You for responding so promptly.”

  Then she said something very unusual.  Now let me tell you first that I don’t talk to people online.  Very rarely.    She said:

I have six children, a job at the foundry and I walk to work.  I have no car.  I can fix cars and I need one.  If you know of anyone with a car; please email me and let me know.  God Bless you. 

Well, I thought about it, I felt bad for her. Personally, I needed a car too and I can’t fix them.  But, I knew what I could do to help.

I wrote her back and said:  “I’ll be praying for you.  Trust in God.  He will help you.  He will favor you.  Trust Him.  He will come through. “   Guess what?  I meant it!

Remember what Peter said:  Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to thee….(so I gave her a boost of faith) 

She wrote back and said:  “Thank you, you’re right.  I’d forgotten.  I guess God wanted you to tell me that.” 

I wrote her back and said:  “REMEMBER THAT HE IS A GOD OF SUDDENLY!”

I kept telling her to EXPECT a car!     We agreed to stand in agreement that God would come through in the Name (Authority) of Jesus Christ.  I then told her that I had to go.  I knew that God would move, but the truth is she was a strange to me  and I didn’t expect to know exactly when she got the car that we agreed that she was going to get.  Well as soon as I got off the email there was an ad for a FREE CAR!    I WISH THAT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!   I wrote the people about Betty’s circumstances and asked them to SAVE the car for her.  They didn’t know ME!  Now mind you, it didn’t matter whether they knew me or not.  God was in control.  The last time that I heard from Betty was a day later. 

She was emailing me to tell me that she was on her way to pick up the car and the title.  I sent her back a HALLELUJAH and I never heard from her again.  To tell you what a miracle it was, right after that my whole email files were wiped out and there wasn’t going to be any way to get in touch with her.    But please see two things:  Our jobs are to receive, but it is far better to give.  We are equipped with valuable knowledge of God and it’s our job to encourage people in their faith and to REMEMBER that….THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES!   Please, take some time to think about this story and about your own coincidences.

For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10: 3-4

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” —1st Peter 1:18,19

PSALM 91

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

³Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
