First Foremost For Life

Jesus said unto him (a Pharisee Lawyer), Thou shall love the Lord thy God with ALL thy Heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with All thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.

Matthew 22:37-40 (KJV)

INTRODUCTION FORWARD PREFACE

Neither an apostle, prophet , evangelist, pastor or teacher; without a title before my name or letters after it I am simply an obscure ordinary fellow disciple of Jesus Christ and that with only one year of experience thirty times.

Over a period of the last two years or so, slowly and finally I began to see it; it all seemed to come together almost overnight. Why did it take me so very long to see it? what I have always known down deep in my sub-conscience heart/spirit, where the motives behind our thoughts* incubate, almost completely out of touch that YES! ITS TRUE! THE HOLY BIBLE IS TRUE, ITS ALL TRUE! *1 Chronicles 28:9

What was I thinking all those years? I hadnt been that repentant or committed. I was haphazard in regard to spiritual matters things of God; relatively mindless and oblivious. Easy prey for the deceiver, I was left hoodwinked and half-baked ineffective for Gods kingdom and glory.

I made my choices regarding the most meaningful and significant issues of life based primarily on whatever seemed the most comfortable, pleasing or convenient to me at the time. Seduced and clueless, I somehow avoided considering the inevitable consequences of ALL my choices.

How come? Well, thats what this message is all about: who, what, where, when, why and how so many of us have been so duped. Its about our amazing New Covenant with God and the demonic assignments specifically designed, for each one of us, to deny us any chance that we might wake up to its truth, Every Word of God Jesus, and ALL He Taught.

What we see in the Holy Bible is seldom what we see in the Church including many Spirit-filled, evangelical/charismatic churches those who embrace and emphasize prophesy and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Perhaps THAT has been our problem: relying on what we see physically instead of what God has been trying to reveal to us spiritually: that all we really need is to Believe and test our belief by willing obedience. Only then, as night follows day, comes understanding, receiving faith, hope and love resulting in a confidence previously unknown.

On balance and in total, all things considered, this work is uniquely positive. I like to think of it as the product of this faith, hope and love (tough love). You should know, up front, some parts are not exactly seeker-friendly, in fact a little heavy. Even so, prayerfully, it will serve to enlarge the spiritual landscape and horizon for all of us; that having been adopted and grafted into the Holy Family of our loving, but firm, Almighty Father God, it will encourage, challenge and motivate us to a firmly determined course of action; one that will enable us to reach our full potential (maturity) and receive the unlimited rights and benefits we seek as truth-hungry Christians.

For the past several months I have had a vague, but persistent sense of concern and obligation; a prompting also shared by some nationally-known teachers and ministers of the Gospel, to pass along some observations noticed around Christiandom (Christianity as a whole), essential truths that are being ignored thus denied.

The primary intent and objective here is to call attention to Christ-centered, Holy-Spirit-inspired scriptures missed by so many of us in our Christian experience: scriptures that can empower us to enhance our Christian lifestyle; even individual verses that would stir us to take action violent action!

And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize a share In the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].

Matthew 11:12 (AMP)

It can be summed up by these verses in the Apostle Pauls letter to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, For the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: (ALL THAT HE IS!) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, And carried about with every wind of doctrine by the slight of men, and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive ; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in ALL things (ALL THAT HE IS!), which is the Head, even Christ!: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love .

Ephesians 4:12-16 (KJV)

God fully intends for us to Honor His WORD Above All Else! So every effort is made to express and present it carefully, with fidelity to the intended meaning by using scriptures from both the King James Version and the Amplified Version of Gods Holy Bible.

I want to emphasize that I dont, by any means, pretend to have received all that Jesus wants the Church to know can be ours by faith in the power of His Blood (what it accomplished) and the authority of His Name. This is as much for me as anyone probably more. I would appreciate your prayers.

Last, my prayer is that God may bless you through this message. Having a technical background, I am admittedly an unlikely author of Christian principles, but the gospel is what it is:
