With all humility below are my beliefs, I don't attempt to know more than others, my life is totally dedicated to the Lord our God and to serving others in Jesus name. My writings on this website are driven by God and the Holy Spirit whom I give all the credit to. God gave me many tasks to do, this website is one of them.

I believe in the Word of God, the Bible, written by spirit-filled men that were given wisdom and guidance by the Holy Spirit on what to write, therefore the Bible was written by God.

This infallible Great Book of God's will is our operators, reference, instructions, and technical manual for life here on earth.

Jesus is my NUMBER ONE priority in life.
I work full-time for Jesus, the pay is out of this world. My job here on earth is to serve others guided by the Holy Spirit.

I love Jesus with all my heart, mind and soul. 

We all have toys and hobbies and there’s nothing wrong with that as long as we remember they were given to us from the Lord and they are secondary priorities and not idols.

I am enslaved to God.

I am proud of Jesus and the Holy Spirit who guides me with spiritual wisdom (which I ask for in prayer each time I study the scriptures) when I speak or write.

The most wonderful feeling in this world is to guide  someone to accept Jesus into their heart and knowing you will see them in Heaven.

I am a servant of the Lord.

A long time ago, I decided to look for the positive things in others. It’s a much better way to live and I feel better because of it. Anyone can criticize and find fault with another but that’s not our job, it’s not what the Lord wants. If we make fun of others, we are judging and putting ourselves above that person. We are, therefore, attacking God because he created that individual.

The Lord our God wants us to be optimists, He wants us to focus on the positive.
To me the glass is always half full.

I’m far from perfect, no one is perfect except for God. 

I believe in the whole Bible, the Old and New Testament, which is God inspired and written. 

The authors of the Bible where guided by invaluable perfection of the Holy Spirit. 

I do not believe in specific only selection of scriptures and the rest is wrong and condemned, IE; pick and choose, the enemy is behind that. 

All scriptures are precepts and exhortations for us to learn and study for our short time here on earth. 

The Prophetic Word is everlasting and imperishable.

The Great Book wasn’t designed for us to critique and destroy. 

We are wrong when we attempt to comprehend and lean on our own rationalization when we read the scriptures.

God is right, the world is wrong.

We cannot live and be guided by the world and God.

 

Proverbs 30:5

“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."

Paul stated;

Galatians 1:11-12

11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.  12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

2 Peter 1:20-21

20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 

21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, 

but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit

1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

I believe in the extreme importance that we pray and ask for wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit each and every time we study the Bible this leads to God's understanding. 

I believe the Bible itself is the BEST commentary.

I believe when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit and confirmation of speaking in tongues, we have a much greater understanding of the scriptures which were written by the Holy Spirit.

To enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must abide by God's will, precepts and exhortations while growing in righteousness and sanctification here in our short life on earth.

God created everything.

I am not at any higher level than others, therefore, I have no right to judge or criticize others, only God has that right. If I judge others, I’m criticizing God's creations and I'm placing myself above others and that is wrong.

I am just one grain of sand on a vast 5-mile beach. I'm just one speck of dust in the wind. I'm just one drop of water in the ocean.

I am to love others, not just ones that are nice to me.

I believe we must be bold and assertive for Jesus.

I'm a sinner saved by God's grace.

I believe we must stay tuned up with Jesus and not rust or stagnate which leads to back sliding and turning away from God.

I believe in the Trinity; the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit as one.

I fear the Lord if I don't follow and adhere to his words, rules and regulations written in The Great Book, The Bible.

I believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit and confirmation of speaking in tongues.

Our intelligence and understanding is minute compared to God's intelligence which is infinite and we can't begin to comprehend.

I must not hate or dislike anyone.

Some of the key positive words in the Bible are; Love, Faith, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Self-Control, Humility, Grace, Hope, Light, Unity, Mercy, Forgiveness, Comfort, Joy, and Righteousness, which we must constantly abide by and grow through sanctification. 

Some of the key negative words in the Bible are;

sin, doubt, judging, hate, dark, unforgiveness, anxiety, unbelief and worry, all which are tools of the enemy and part of our world in which we live.

I believe in the enemy and evil spirits that attack Christians even in the most subtle ways. 

I believe we must resist and rebuke the enemy in Jesus name frequently when he attacks us.

If we are part of the world, the world loves us, 

If we are with Jesus the world hates us.

The world is run by the enemy. We cannot have two masters.

I believe the Lord is the one and only God.

Even the enemy believes there is only one God, our Lord.

It's much better to go through life looking for the good in others than finding fault.

Communicating with the Lord is much faster then texting, and emails.

I believe if we have mercy for others, the Lord has mercy for us.

I believe in the danger of thin ice; lukewarm, dark, cold and nominal Christianity.

I must not hold grudges, dislike, or hate anyone. We must forgive others, then God will forgive us.

I must ask the Lord for forgiveness. If I have sinned or offended anyone, I must ask that individual for forgiveness.

I believe faith without works is dead.

I believe if we know what is right and don't do it, we are guilty of sin.

I believe we are put on this earth to witness and serve others and Jesus.

Life here on this worldly earth is not about temporary short-term happiness and satisfaction of wealth, idolizing, materialism and having a good time.

I believe prayer goes unanswered;

-If our faith is weak

-If it's not God's will or timing

-If we hold a grudge

-If we dislike or hate anyone 

-If we do not ask for forgiveness of others

-If we do not ask for forgiveness to God of sins we have committed

-if we judge others

-if we possess pride and arrogance

-if there is any unbelief

-if there is doubt

I believe faith with doubt is like a ship without a rudder.

I believe in prayer with works, (stepping out).

I believe in faith with works.

I believe in the healing power of prayer and the fact that, we as Christians have the right to command healing in the name of Jesus. We don’t heal, the Lord heals.

I believe we are extremely blessed to have Jesus as our savior and we must tell others about Him.

I believe we are where we are today with Jesus because of years of prayers by our parents, grandparents, siblings and friends. 

I believe in Justification by Faith.

I believe as Christians, we must constantly grow through sanctification with love, faith, humility, grace and righteousness.

I believe that when Christ returns, we will be transformed by Glorification. 

I believe as a man it is very difficult to survive as a Christian if one does not associate and interact with other Christian men in a group on a weekly basis discussing the Bible, encouraging, confessing and supporting each other. Today’s worldly temptations are too immense.

Gods Word

I am so blessed to have this extraordinary zeal and love for the Lord and His teachings in The Word. 

The Holy Spirit instilled in me this ardent thirst, this drive to study the Bible, the Great Book and it cannot be quenched. I feel like a sponge absorbing this remarkable mass of infallible knowledge that includes precepts and exhortations for all mankind.

I ask for wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit each time I study The Word because I don’t want to lean on my own understanding.

The Word is our operators, instructions, reference and technical manual for life here on earth.

My life is dedicated to Jesus, He is my number one priority, all else is secondary. I work full-time for Him, the pay is out of this world.

Proverbs 4:20-22

20 My child, pay attention to my words;

listen attentively to my sayings.

21 

Do not let them depart from your sight,

guard them within your heart;

22 

for they are life to those who find them

and healing to one’s entire body.

23

Guard your heart with all vigilance,

for from it are the sources of life.
