A Word from Bruce

Psalms 130:5

I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Psalms 127:1

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Psalms 125:3

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Remove the stone Lord and resurrect Your people. Remove the stone and let us live….. Amen

From as far as I can remember, persons have often suggested that in the story of Adam and Eve, the reference of them both eating the forbidden fruit, was speaking to Adam and Eve having sex. My question is therefore, if the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was representative of Adam and Eve having sex then what was the tree of life representing? Gen.2:9. I will suggest that since Eve ate the fruit first and then gave to Adam to eat, that this could not have been sex as they both did not eat at the same time.Gen 3:6.

In Gen 2:8-9 the Lord God planted a garden on the eastern side of Eden and out of the ground He made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. So these were actually fruit bearing trees and had nothing to do with sex.

Originally, man was not created by God with any intention for man to die (Gen 2:17), and in fact man could have eaten of the tree of life and live forever at that point. Having committed the first sin (that of eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil). God had to keep man away from the tree of life so He could redeem man before eternity arrives Gen 3:22-24.

Lord help us to listen, to hear and to believe, in Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

Jonah refused to go to Nineveh to warn the people of the impending move of God against them if they did not turn from their wicked ways, not because he was afraid, but rather because he thought that God might change His mind about destroying them if they repented. Jonah 4:2

Jonah became so angry that he wanted to die. God prepared a gourd and caused it to come up over Jonah, the shadow of which delivered him from his grief. God then caused a worm to destroy the gourd which again angered Jonah. God taught Jonah by comparing both situations, which is more important, getting angry because a worm had destroyed the gourd or the saving of 120,000 persons who were simple and couldn’t desern well, along with much cattle? Jonah 4:7-11

The fast which preceded this looks like an absolute fast as not even water was taken during this period. The more you put in is the more you get out.Jonah 3:7. It is worthwhile to note that if the king did not fear God and repented, all the people could have perished.

Hello my Father. How are things looking in Your kingdom? Are Your people being obedient enough? Have we dropped the bad temper or have we thrown away the stubbornness? Have we become kinder, gentler, thoughtful? Have we made that determination to love You, to serve You, to walk in Your will? Help us God, I pray.

I pray Lord God, that this year will be like no other. Let Your will be done. That You will break the yokes from off Your people and that You will reign in their lives. Of necessity You hardened Pharoah’s heart so You can get Your full glory. Reveal Yourself to us O Lord and help us to endure, in Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

For the Lord is good and His mercies endureth for ever!!

Abba Father, help us to become all that which you have predestined us to be. Help us to forgive the trespasses of others against us. Help us to give to persons as if it is unto You Lord God, help us to give and forget about it, help us to give and not use it as a tool to coerce those to whom we have given. Show us where we need to redouble our efforts for Your kingdom’s sake, that we will endure the pain, the lack, the suffering, the persecution and to still stand. Create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us O Mighty Saviour.

Father, we bind the prince of the air and every demon that is loosed across this world and we cast them back to the dry and desolate places in Jesus Christ name. Confound the enemy, mess up his communication and destroy all his works in Jesus Christ name. Let Your Glory rest upon your people, sanctify them, fill them up with Your goodness and Your mercies, anoint them a fresh in Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

(6)Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and satan came also among them

(7)And the Lord said unto satan, whence comest thou? Then satan answered the Lord and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (8)And the Lord said unto satan, hast thou consider my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (9)Then satan answered the Lord and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? (10)Hast not thou an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

(1)Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and satan came also among them to present hemself before the Lord. (2)And the Lord said unto satan, from whenst camest thou and satan answered the Lord, and said, from going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it. (3)And the Lord said unto satan, hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect man and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without a cause. (4)And satan answered the Lord and said, skin for skin, yea all that a man hath will he give for his life.

1)That when the people of God go before God, that satan has and will always present himself to mess things up.

2)That satan is constantly going to and fro in the earth to deceive and to destroy God’s people, he does not rest.

3)That God will use the best amongst his people to show off on satan. If the devil is to do any damage to us, God has to first remove the hedge from around us and from that which we own.

4)Satan can do us no harm as long as we live according to God’s will.

5)Satan and his demons are as real as God, His angels and His people are. The difference is that God is so much more powerful than the devil and that while satan can and does affect the smaller details, God still has control of the bigger picture.

Amen.

You are not a God created by any mortal man, You are not a God created by any human hands. You are God and that’s just the way it is!!!!!!! If we become too powerful, too stubborn, too disobedient, too stiff necked, too mixed up in the world…. then we are only hurting ourselves.

What is it that we need to start doing? What is it that we need to stop doing? We must stop lying and deceiving others because we cannot save ourselves. How holy, how righteous will we be when our friend calls us home?, that is completely dependent on ourselves. The fun, the good feelings that our flesh desires to have is nothing compared to that which our Father has in store for us.

Refocus Your people Lord God in Jesus’ name, amen.

For the Lord is good and His mercies endureth for ever. Who shall enter into the kingdom of heaven?…he that hath a clean hands and a pure heart. The pure and undefiled religion is to feed the hungry, give shelter and clothing to the destitute. For though we must sacrifice everything for God, obedience is still greater than sacrifice!!

Whatever it is that God has purposed for us, whatever it is that we have covenanted with God and have forgotten….. let us repent and return in Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

Man whom God created, is able to think of and made to work, a thing called the Internet. A thing which a few years ago was thought of as impossible. A thing which causes millions of exabytes of information to pass across the globe without being seen by the naked eyes.

Man whom God has created would seek to restrict God to something he can calculate or reason out. If man cannot know all of God’s secrets then it cannot be God. The word says that with God all things are possible.

God did create the earth and set it in perfect motion. Consider the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets known and unknown, created as circles and hung in space which is itself an infinite circle. How they are unfailing in there functions, always where they were placed.

God created the earth and caused it to spin in two different continuous circular motions at the same time, it revolves around the sun while it rotates every 24 hours on it’s axis. So why then is it so difficult to accept that Jesus Christ is still the Son of God while being God at the same time? or that Jesus Christ the Son of God came to earth for the first time in the flesh through the womb of Mary but was also here before the foundations of the world was? And being God, still does not know as yet when He will return to earth to judge and rule with His saints for a thousand years.

Man was created the first cycle, he came from dust and to the dust he will return. Some living things like butterfly, have a much more varied and colourful life cycle. There is the cycle of the seasons which repeats itself every year and brings about the changes in weather that causes fruit trees etc. to produce.

We must always remember that with God all things are possible. Thank You Lord, amen.
