Salvation Sermon
Rev. Samuel J. Robertson

Introduction:

The sermon I am giving is about a very important issue. In fact most Christians believe it is the single most important thing about being Christian. I am going to teach about Salvation. Before we get started lets have a word of prayer.

Opening Prayer:

(Normally done by a trusted member of the church or pastor) The prayer should include current events that need attention, and is specific to that time and place so It basically is made up right then and there as the spirit leads.

Message:

The dictionary defines salvation as “saving someone or something from harm or from an unpleasant situation”. In this case hell. But I’m not talking about hell today I’m sure that needs no explanation. There are a few things that need to be done in order to avoid hell, and go to heaven. We are all guilty of sin every single one of us, even if its something small. Think to yourself have you ever told a lie or stolen something small even if it has little value for example a paper clip? if you answered yes then you are guilty of breaking one of Gods 10 commandments and on the judgment you will be found guilty and sentenced to eternal death which would mean hell. Some say “Oh God will not do that to me because He loves me too much”. Yes He loves you alot, but I am reminded of a verse where “God is a just God” does that ring a bell? The bible does not lie so if it says He is a just God you better listen. For many will knock on the door of heaven but the knocks will lay on deaf ears, meaning He will block you out while your on your way to hell and He will not know you. Do I have your attention yet? Now there is some very great news! I am going to tell you how to get to heaven. There are several verses that tell you how to gain salvation, but we do not have enough time for all of them but I am going to throw a few out there. Ready to catch them?
Romans 3:23 says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” You already learned that unless you were sleeping. I’m reminded John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.So you can clearly see if you simply read the bible the answer is in there, but I am going to be more specific. I am sure everyone knows John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. lets take a closer look at that verse, believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. So your first step is to believe in Jesus and that He rose from the dead. Matt. 10:22 says And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. This verse says there are many non believers and those that will make fun of you or worse, but if you just sit there and take it to the end you will be saved. Were making progress. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. This says we all will die because of our sin, but God gave us a gift of salvation through Jesus. Romans 10:9-10 Now here is the big one. ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. You have to ask God through Jesus to forgive you for your sins, and I suggest doing it often. Now once you have done all that you should become baptized, but there is a rule on that. It has to be fully emerged under the water.John 3:3-5 ³ Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
⁵ Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. These verses are too good to leave out but I will not spend too much time on them as they are self explainable. Getting back to baptism. Acts 2:38 ³⁸ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. You receive the holy spirit when your baptized, now I know that the holy spirit is active even when you don’t get baptized, but it is very important to do it if you can. This concludes my sermon.

Offering

We do not force anyone or make this public, but the church cost money to keep going, we feel the lord will provide for us. We do not encourage offering plates because it is really no ones business how much they see you put in, This is church and not the time or place for that type of thing, so we have offering boxes in the back hall so no one can see how much you donate. I also would like it known I do not accept any money for my services or sermons because a gift from God should not be bought, and it gives the church more money to use in missions ect…

Closing prayer:

Now here is a closing prayer if you want to be saved repeat after me, Jesus, i confess all of my sins to you and ask for your forgiveness, and pray that you fill me with your spirit and love, you are powerful and I ask you fight all evil that comes my way, In Jesus name I pray amen

Benediction:

May God bless all of you, and put his hand on you for your safe return home.

(It does not seem too long but stressing certain points and repeating when it is given in church will make it longer.)

Thanks

What is in a Name?

Two Hawks, Running Turtle, Standing Bear, Raven Hawk, Beautiful Painted Arrow, Little Bear, Fire Horse, Fire Dog, Black Eagle, Two Feathers, Crazy Horse, Wild Horse Woman, Eagle Chief etc. etc., names that are running rampant in the urban areas of South Texas. I am sure there are so many more names that are out there that would be indicative of an Indian Identity. But what about Furry Rabbit, Two Mice, No Lice, Don’t know who I am, Lost in the white world, Two Cappuccinos, Triple scoop of strawberry, Two Bowls of Menudo, Dances with SUV, names more adequate for the times for urbanites that have found there identity without a connection to their ancestors or future generations.

No disrespect, on my part to those families who from birth carried their name with honor and pride, like the Standing Bear family and others names that too many are very sacred as well, like Crazy Horse. So the QUESTION still remains what is in a name? Another Question why do people change their names from Martinez to Two Feathers, Gutierrez to Two Hawks, Sandoval to Standing bear and so on and so on? It is predicament that still baffles me. Here in Texas, because of the colonization of Spaniards and through the Spanish Land Grants, we as Indian people were only part of the fauna that the Gauchpines owned. We were mere property of the Land owners. We were the first slaves in the United States due to the “encomiendas” of the Spaniards. The Spanish Land Grants became the owners of our lands and our being, but not our spirit.

Landowner’s last names were added to the renaming of the property, including our ancestors. Recording names by ruthless priests who forced acculturated our ancestors to the point of cutting our heads, hands, feet; this is documented in a cave at Lake Alan Henry in Post, Texas (i.e. same cave that has the moth man). Landowners like Garcia, Arocha, Cruz, and so on were given to our Indian Ancestors. In some cases, the priest would give the name of Tribe, Band, trait of Band, or of one the clans, like Cano (canyon), Garza (crane), Mancias, (people of prayer) Hipolito (name of trait of the deer clan), San Miguel (name of Saint Michael for the warrior’s societies).

This effort of the colonizers was to make sense of our existence. It was their effort to make us more like them. We were not human we were just property to their bidding. They were stealing our identities by changing our ancestors to something they could understand. The colonizers were uncertain of the communication we had with the Creator and the creation. They were ignorant, greedy, and most of all afraid to know the reality of living with the creation. They wanted to own the wealth that does not belong to them in the first place. They brought their methods of controlling even their own God. So, the control over all that was owned became the attitude and mentality.

There is a book out there called the CANNIBAL COAST, that makes reference to the Chiefs of the Karankwa were given Spanish names as were the Hasnai, the Caddo and the Tonkawa. The Americans that came in with Moses Austin could not speak Spanish very well so they ‘Americanized’ names like Chief Jose Miguel to Chief Hozzie McGill. Just like the word ‘vaquero’ became buckaroo; la riata became lariat. Just like Bison was misnamed to Buffalo, Human Beings became Indians, all misnomers.

So what is in a name? It is certainly not something that can be explained in the colonizers language. You have to consider that both English and Spanish ARE foreign languages (one reason the colonizers could not understand). Both Languages are from Europe. The Name Witkiko Tshunka came in a sacred way and given in the same way in the language of the land. Tecumseh’s name came in a sacred way as well in the language of the people.

So what is in name? Identity through language, history, customs, connection to the ancestor, connection to the future generations certainly is prerequisites to knowing your name. Now, for those who are going down to the court house and changing their name to Black Eagle, Cheyenne, Rain Man, Running Turtle, Walking Eagle, I say know your people, respect your people, respect the ancestors, and walk with your people. Don’t just Change your name to accommodate the Colonizer Mentality and romanticize the comfortableness of the colonizers. We are Indian, because our people have survived an American Holocaust that no one wants to admit to.

So STOP changing your names in English to Crazy Horse, Black Horse, Standing Bear, and Running Water Woman and so on and so on. Just because you found you had Indian blood a few years ago and you needed to show how Indian you were you changed your name to make it more Indian. Saying, I am Jane “Running Dove” Jones does not make you more Indian today or tomorrow to me. You are still using the Colonizer’s language.

Do your people call you Running Dove in your language when you are with them? Then, only then, you will understand what it means to be Indian. Then you will know that we are not Indians but Human Beings in the language of the people.

If you insist on doing this be an Indian of your times and age. Here are some suggestions to Change your name to, Road Rage, Makes the white man Comfortable, Quarter Pounder with Cheese Man, Votes Republican woman, Dooney Burke woman, Macy’s Shopper, Cabela’s man, Budweiser Man, Dances for the White man, Wannabe Medicine Man, Looks like Santa Claus man. Now, you can put your Indian name in Apostrophes, Jane “Wears Victoria Secrets” Jones.

This very reason of changing our names in English does not make anyone more Indian. We have to wake up to our people and the ongoing American Holocaust that we are a part of through the acculturated name that was given to us by our fathers and mothers, and by their fathers and mothers, We must trace the “point of contact” as sociologist like to say. We must connect to the reason that was misunderstood, not add on to it by accommodating the romanticization of the oppression. By doing so we accept the fact that nothing wrong has occurred, that our people were not raped, murdered, tortured or erased from history.

Your effort to be more Indian is admirable, but not helpful to the countless of dead relatives that suffered. Your effort is without guidance of the people who still suffer to bring a message to overcome the oppressive attitudes of “New World Order” mentality.

My people are my passion. The WASP Male mentality does not make me credible. My People make me Credible. The same people that call themselves Esto-k , the Human people. Now, that is where your name is.

What is in Name?

Ordination story

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 23:28:00 +0000

I became a minister in 1985 while living in Orlando, FL. I was doing astrology readings and the city said I had to be licensed either as a minister or a vendor. So I became a minister.

My employer at the time was the Wyndham Hotel SeaWorld which is now a Stouffers hotel I believe. My boss, John Arnesen, thought doing weddings in the hotel would be a great thing for tourists.

So, the first wedding I ever performed was in the hotel lobby! Mr. Arnesen, made a huge media event out of it and comped the couple’s room for an extended stay, meals, tickets to Sea World and Disney – it was GREAT FUN!

I have been performing weddings ever since! In 1989, I moved back to my birth home of Cleveland, OH. and together with my friend who also is a minister, Patricia Wagner-Soteros, we started Creative Wedding Officiants to market our wedding business.

We now perform well over 100 weddings each per year. You can see us and get more info about us and our other associates Wayne and Traci at www.creativeweddingofficiants.com

I am also a Usui Reiki Master and do Spiritual healings, house blessings and baby blessings.

Feel free to use the info for your newsletter.

Blessings.

Universal Life Church

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:23:00 +0000

The Universal Life Church ordained me on March 27th, 2000. I didn’t start actually performing ceremonies/rituals for anyone other than family and friends until 2002, as I felt I needed more time to become proficient at it.

Looking back, I think being a member of the clergy has always been my calling. I remember, as a small child going to Catholic school, wanting to be a priest when I grew up. I could never get a straight answer from any of the adults as to why I couldn’t! Just that girls could be nuns, but only boys could be priests. Never any explanation! That was just the way it was. Later, during my “atheist phase”, During one of those career placement tests, Clergy kept coming up as the thing I was best suited for. What a laugh I got out of that! (I guess the joke was on me.)

Over the years, I explored many different organized religions, atheism and a couple of cults. What I finally discovered is that there is no one “right” path, but that everyone has a specific path that is right for them. What’s more, a person’s path can contain spirituality, wisdom and philosophy from any number of different sources, and that it is no less valid as a belief system than a specific religion. Since then, I have encountered numerous people who have spirituality, but do not subscribe to any set religion, many of whom have mentored me in my spiritual path. In searching for actual clergy members who were not affiliated with a particular sect or religion, however, I came up conspicuously empty handed. I found plenty who were more tolerant of different beliefs, but in the end, it seemed that all of them wanted to conduct things according to a set tradition. It had been suggested to me by friends and family members that I become that clergy member that I couldn’t find; that I start my own church. I laughed it off, thinking that I couldn’t do it, even though that inner voice that we all have had been telling me the same thing for some time by that point. I still didn’t listen to that voice even when I started having recurring dreams about being some sort of “spiritual leader”. It wasn’t until things kept on coming up in my medicine card reading and one of my mentors suggested I may want to do this that I really took a serious look at the option. I am very grateful for being led to this, as this work is fulfilling in a way that no other has ever been. Follow the link for the rest of this story……..

Commitment Ceremony

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:30:00 +0000

By Rev. Shannon

Amy, I thought that there was a need for a commitment ceremony for same/sex ceremonies. I know that though they are not “legal” many same sex couples still wish to make a public announcement, if you will, of their devotion to one another. I wrote this one because my best friend is looking to have such a ceremony in the future and I was inspired to give her something different. Enjoy! I hope this helps other ministers, and everyone can feel free to use it, change it and make it their own.

Blessings,
Rev. Shannon

A Celebration of Commitment

By Reverend Shannon Wilcox-Hale

Today we come together to celebrate a day that has long been anticipated. A day filled with joy, happiness, contentment and jubilation. We are here to witness Gods greatest miracle, the miracle of love. This love that shines through these two people will light up even the darkest of nights. Love is a testament to all ages of the great gifts of the Lord. With strength, kindness, tenderness, and happiness, this love will stand all tests of time. We are here to celebrate, and rejoice with _____ and _____, two people sharing this miracle of love. As they commit themselves to one another for life, let us reflect upon our own relationships and rejoice in all the ways that the Lord blesses us daily.

Let me now take a few moments to recognize the families of Tanya and Tonya, it is because of you that these two are who they are today. They are two very successful (men/women) that are kind, caring and strong. It takes a great commitment to raise independent, strong, successful children, but you have. I want to thank you for being positive influences on the hearts of these two wonderful (gentlemen/ladies), by teaching them the values that shape their lives. Thank you for showing them the beauty and wonder that each new day brings. Each person goes forth in life touching the lives of those around them, so in bringing your goodness to them, they spread that goodness to all that they meet. God blesses those who spread joy and happiness to all those they come in contact with. You have shown them what it is to be good parents, siblings, and family. _____ and _____, I want to always remember these blessings your families have bestowed upon you and remember to thank them often for their love and devotion to you.

I want to take this time to celebrate what it means to be a family. A family does not just consist of children and parents. It consists of that same miracle of love enveloping the parents and children in a protective sheath that none can penetrate. _____ and _____ make sure you always continue to nurture the love that you are sharing here today, nurture it within your family, give it to your children, and they will pass that legacy along to their children and to all they meet. You are two very special people whose love will last forever and you have the unique opportunity to teach all those around you what true love is.

From this commitment you will become true friends. There is nothing greater in the world than a true friend. A true friend is one who is there to laugh with when you are happy, cry with you when you have been hurt. True friends know just how to help you weather that storm and never leave you to do it on your own. You have the incredible gift of being able to live the rest of your lives together side by side, heart to heart with your one true friend. There will be struggles, and there will be hardships, but with love, devotion, and respect for one another, you will make it through all that comes your way. Each path we take is a learning experience, and we grow from learning. Learn from one another, take your individual experiences, hope, and dreams and meld them together into a life long journey that is only meant for the two of you.

Please repeat after me:

_____, I love you. You are my best friend, my confidant. Today I promise my life to you. I will forever give all of my self, heart, body and soul to you and you alone. I promise to encourage you when you are feeling the hardship of trials to come. I promise to inspire you when you need that boost to keep you going. When you are happy, I will rejoice with you. When you are sad, I will comfort you. I promise to hold you and cherish you because you are my one true friend. I will help you achieve all the goals you have set forth in life, and dream with you for the future.

_____ and _____ have chosen to exchange rings as a sign of their commitment to one another. May I have the rings?

Lord, bless these rings which are an outward sign of a deep love and commitment between these two gentlemen/ladies. Bless the commitment of their love and devotion to one another for all their lives which these rings symbolize. Watch over this couple and shower them with your love. Bless them that they always know happiness and contentment. Walk with them when they have struggles that they will know they are never alone. Keep them safe in your strong and peaceful arms Amen.

Minister gives ring to _____:

(_____ while placing ring on _____’s finger) _____ repeat after me:

Minister gives ring to _____:

(_____ while placing ring on _____’s finger) _____ repeat after me:

With this ring I commit myself with all my heart, to you forever.

As _____ and _____ have committed themselves to one another in their hearts, before God and those gathered here today, may we all rejoice in their _expression of love.

You may now kiss/hug one another.

May God bless your lives together, and bring you much joy!

Universal Life Church – A Cosmic Moment

A Cosmic Moment

By by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

An interesting turn of events we have been waiting for!

November 11, 2005 – 11:11:11

(11) 2 + (11) 2 + (2005) 7 = 11

and by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

http://1spirit.com/eraofpeace

This is a momentous time, and many facets of the Divine Plan are

unfolding simultaneously. All Lightworkers are being asked by the

Company of Heaven to redouble our efforts, and to BE HERE NOW!

Eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine. Our I AM Presence encoded this sacred geometry into our genetic patterns prior to this embodiment. For some time now people have been noticing 11:11 on digital clocks and various digital readouts. This code activates within us the genetic memory of the transformation we are all going through.

The 11:11 code represents the transformation of the 3rd-Dimensional plane into the higher 4th-Dimensional plane of existence. Now because of the incredible changes that have taken place within every evolving soul on Earth, we are ready for 11:11:11. The transformation of the 3rd- and 4th-Dimensional planes into the higher 5th-Dimensional plane.

On August 18, 2005, in a Divine Ceremony of Light, hundreds of thousands of Lightworkers from all over the world joined Heart Flames and created a unified Chalice of Light through which the Flame of Transfiguring Divine Love from the Heart of our Father-Mother God poured into the physical plane of Earth. This Sacred Fire raised the vibration of the physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies of Humanity into a frequency of the 5th Dimension beyond the reach of the human ego.

In an instant, the grip of every person’s human ego was burst asunder. In that moment, as one voice, one breath, one heartbeat, one consciousness of Divine Love, every person’s I AM Presence invoked Archangel Michael and his Legions of Power and Protection. These majestic Beings encapsulated every human ego in an invincible Ring Pass Not of God’s First Cause of Perfection. This force field of Light from the Heart of God is a powerful Circle of White Lightning that prevents anything that is not of the Light from entering or leaving its embrace.

Once our ego was encapsulated within this protective force field of Light, our I AM Presence breathed the Circle of White Lightning into Its 5th-Dimensional Heart Flame. Our ego will remain within the Heart of our I AM Presence where it will be bathed with Transfiguring Divine Love until it voluntarily surrenders into the Light and is transformed.

For eleven weeks Humanity has been going through an intensified purging process to cleanse our physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies of the patterns of imperfection our human egos have mis-created over aeons of time. The Elemental Kingdom reflects Humanity’s consciousness. Consequently, this purging process has been reflected in the bodies of Mother Earth as well. Her bodies are directly associated with the earth, air, fire and water elements. As catastrophic as this cleansing process has been, the end result will be a healing and life-transforming experience for all Life on this blessed planet.

Now, all is in readiness for the next phase of the Divine Plan. With our newfound freedom from the control and manipulation of our human egos, and the intensified cleansing we have experienced over the past eleven weeks, Humanity and Mother Earth are finally vibrating at a frequency that can withstand the resplendent Light of the 5th-Dimensional Flame of the Immaculate Concept. This empowering gift from the Heart of our Father-Mother God will be sustained in the physical plane of Earth on the Holy Breath of Beloved Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel. These selfless messengers of God are the Keepers of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept for the whole of Creation.

The Divine Purpose of this Madonna Blue Flame with its crystalline white aura is to activate within our Twelve Solar Strands of DNA the genetic codings of our full Divine Potential. Without the interference of our human egos, and with the direct contact our I AM Presence now has with our physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies through our 5th-Dimensional Solar Spine and Chakras, the Flame of the Immaculate Concept can finally fulfill its Divine Purpose.

Since the fall of Humanity and the sinking of Lemuria aeons ago, the portal of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept has been almost dormant. The central core of this portal pulsates above the Island of Bali, in the South Pacific. Since the fall, Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel have only been able to project a minuscule fraction of the original intensity of this Sacred Fire through this portal for the benefit of Humanity.

For millennia, Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel have been patiently waiting for Humanity to burst the bonds of the human ego and raise the vibration of our Earthly bodies effectively enough to connect with our 5th-Dimensional I AM Presence. Now that this has been God Victoriously accomplished, the portal of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept above Bali can once again be opened to full breadth.

Since our I AM Presence is at last in position to take dominion of our Earthly bodies, Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel can breathe the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept through the portal in Bali. This empowering Sacred Fire will then be available for every Lightworker to breathe into our Heart Flames, and

then into the physical, etheric, mental and emotional strata of Earth to bless and uplift every evolving soul and every particle of Life on the planet.

In order to grasp the magnitude of what this means, we must remember that the Immaculate Concept is the Divine Blueprint of our full Divine Potential. When we were first breathed into existence from the Heart of our Father-Mother God, we were encoded and empowered with the fullness of the Causal Body of God. This means, literally and tangibly, all that our Father-Mother God has is ours. We lost awareness of this profound Truth when we fell into chaos and confusion and became entrapped in the fear-based consciousness of our human egos.

Now, all of that is being reversed. Once again, the portal in Bali is going to be opened to full breadth. Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel are then going to breathe the Flame of the Immaculate Concept through the portal into the genetic structures of our Twelve Solar Strands of DNA. When this Sacred Fire enters our DNA, it will activate the Divine Potential that was encoded there at the time of our inception.

These codes have been dormant since the portal of the Immaculate Concept over Bali was closed after the fall. This is the main reason Humanity has so easily accepted, and acted out of, the erroneous belief that we are worthless sinners and worms in the dust.

Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel cannot just wave a wand and open the portal above Bali. In alignment with Universal Law, the call for assistance must come from the realm where the assistance is needed. In order to accomplish this facet of the Divine Plan, Lightworkers in the physical plane serving on behalf of all Humanity must ask for this Divine Intervention and offer ourselves as a Cup, a Holy Grail, through which the Light of God will flow to open the portal of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept.

Lightworkers around the world are being called to assist the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth and to serve as surrogates on behalf of Humanity. There will be approximately 100 Lightworkers from around the world who will travel to Bali on a sacred pilgrimage.

We will serve as physical transformers to open the portal of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Lightworkers from around the world will join in consciousness with the Lightworkers in Bali and project their Light into the portal in Bali from myriad locations on the planet.

In synchronicity with the 11:11:11 cycle unfolding on Earth, this activity of Light will involve an eleven-day window of opportunity. For the five days preceding November 11, 2005, 11:11:11, and the five days following that momentous day, Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel will orchestrate the opening of the 5th-Dimensional portal of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept in Bali, and the activation of the Divine Potential within the Twelve Solar Strands of Humanity’s DNA.

During these eleven days, we will be working in the Eternal Moment of Now. Anytime you can join with us in consciousness and add your Light to this Activity of Light will be right and perfect. Ask your I AM Presence for guidance, and you will know how best to weave your magnificent Light into this Divine Plan. There is no right or wrong way to do this. The Divine Intention in your heart is what matters.

The five days leading up to November 11, November 6-10, will be final days of cleansing and preparation. During these days, listen to your I AM Presence. Pray, meditate, be in nature, open your heart to God’s Infinite Love and be at Peace. On November 11th, the portal of the Immaculate Concept in Bali will be permanently opened to full breadth, and Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel will begin flooding the planet and all her Life with the 5th-Dimensional Flame of the Immaculate Concept. This is a day of wonder and joyous celebration.

The next five days, November 12-16, will be days for assimilating the Flame of the Immaculate Concept and allowing the sacred space for the activation of the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God within your DNA structures. By the end of the eleventh day, your Earthly bodies will be calibrated to a higher frequency, and you will be able to withstand more Light.

And so it is.

Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM.

FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY

Lori Cahill aka: Lorin Stanley

READING: Mary’s Song – Luke 1:46-57

“He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” Luke 1:53

A man comes into a meeting room carrying a tray. On the tray are glasses of water. He says to the people in the room, “If you are thirsty take a glass of water.” Those who are thirsty take a glass of water; those who are not shake their heads no. Those who take the water are refreshed; those who are not thirsty do not feel they are missing out on anything.

But consider this: What if someone who is not thirsty says, “Sorry, mister, you can’t come in here with that water. We don’t want any water, and you’re interrupting our meeting”? How would you feel if you were one of the thirsty people? Jesus has something to say both to those who are thirsty and to those who are not.

In Matthew 5:6 Jesus calls those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness “Blessed” and promises that they will be filled. In Psalm 14:2 it says, “The Lord looks down from Heaven on the sons (and daughters) of men (and women) to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.” God is looking for people who hunger and thirst; ANYONE who is hungry and thirsty for God, He says, “Come, eat and drink”. God is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY; there is NO DISCRIMINATION toward anyone or anything. He calls to EVERYONE!!

Everyone has a void inside that only God can fill. People often try to fill the void with things that do not satisfy us. One of the biggies that most people try to fill the void with is money. If they can get “big” money, they can buy big cars, multiple homes, vacation homes, seasonal homes, all kind of electronic toys and equipment, etc. But after the newness wears off, that void is still there. How many actors, actresses, millionaires can we name who have everything and are still unhappy; some jump from relationship to relationship, some end their lives. They had it all, but they didn’t have God in their lives.

In Ezekiel 7:19, God says, “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin.”

In Haggai 1:6, God says to His people, “You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”

Another big item people try to fill the void with is religion. People are constantly looking for a greater power, whether in themselves or other “deities”; they go from church to church, religion to religion, as I can attest to, as I did myself.

The only true filling of this void is God, Himself, and the power of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, God’s Son. As I have found out through my own search, there are many who claim they are of God, but only preach their own agendas and their own interpretation of God’s Word. There are those who make up things or take out things to attract people to their group or church. I have found that reading God’s Word and asking Him, through the Holy Spirit, to guide me and show me the way He wants me to go, is the only way; as David said in Psalm 27:11 “Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

As Jesus was speaking to the Samaritan woman who came to draw water from the well and said in John 4:10-14, “If you know the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you Living Water.” She said to Him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this Living Water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to Eternal Life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

God promises that He will fill the hungry with Joy and Peace as they trust in Him and they will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (see Romans 15:13); He also promises to fill us with knowledge of His will through spiritual wisdom and understanding (see Colossians 1:9).

If you are feeling a void in your life and you have searched and can not find the peace and joy of God in your life, go to Him and ask Him to fill you with His love and peace and take the void that is in your life. Ask God into your heart, to take the dark and replace it with His light, His Son, Jesus Christ.

Why I became ordained

admin — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:45:00 +0000

The most powerful of what grievances I hold against myself is my past failure to come to terms with my severe mental illness. The problem I found in discussing this with another is that they do not fully comprehend the damage I have created in others lives, most importantly in my wife and children’s lives. I have come to terms with my mental illness, yet I am unable to shake the self deprecation over it.

If nothing else, from the experiences of my life, I have developed an innate sense of how to approach a fellow mentally ill person. I have a strong level of sensitivity, and empathy for those who are struggling with diseases of the mind. I also have found myself able to help a fellow travelers to shed the cloak of shame, isolation and denigration that our society lays upon those who have been effectively branded with the with the label of mental illness.

These and other experiences are difficult to another convey as it was this time. I am told either that mental illness is a farce or that people like me appear to be quite fine. As usual, the person I shared with came across with that I seem to be a better person for it, which is true. Yet they just do not seem to be able to connect beyond that unless they themselves or a family member are so challenged. the last lesson I have learned is that there must first be hope, for without hope the process of healing cannot and will not begin.

I have a simple prayer that I say every night.

Grandfather, give me the strength to travel another day’s journey, show me the path to follow and the strength to do your works.

Amen

Rev. James
