Happy New Year,and God bless to all !as we are Facing the Lions with confidence in 2014


Facing the Lions in 2014

 

Daniel 6:16-28

He delivers and rescues, and He….has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

                     Daniel 6:27

What are we, as Christians, facing in 2014? What are the roaring toothless lions in 2014?

 I believe they are found in 2 Tim 3:1-17

 I believe as we face the second coming of Jesus we as born again believers will face intense persecutions.

I believe that according Daniel 6 that our God is able to do the following:

a.       Deliver and rescues us.

b.       God is all powerful and will deliver us from evil.

  I believe that we must stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord!

2 Tim. chapters 4

I believe we must:

1.       Preach the Word.

2.       Watch

3.       Endure

4.       Witness

5.       Do ministry

6.       Be prepared for persecutions and martyrdom.

7.       Fight the good fight

8.       Run the course

9.       Keep the faith

10. Remember our reward

 

 Dear friends as we face the New Year  we are to be brave, pray, support each other, preach the Word Of God and stand tall and firm in the word and see his deliverance and wonder working power!!!!

Love,

Eddie and Donna Smatt

Could this Christian film win an Oscar?

Poem " First Christmas In Heaven "To Rev. Uncle Llyod Bardowell family and to all the Bardowell-Bardwill

My Uncle Lloyd passed away. He was a great Preacher/Evanglist/Pastor. He led me to Jesus and I was called also into the ministry!


FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I’ve had my first Christmas in Heaven, A glorious, wonderful day!

I stood with saints of the ages who found Christ the Truth and the Way.

I sang with the Heavenly choir: Just think–I, who longed so to sing!

And, oh, what celestial music we brought to our Saviour and King!

We sang the glad songs of redemption, how Jesus to Bethlehem came,

And how they called His Name Jesus, That all might be saved through His Name.

We sang once again with the angels, the song that they sang that blest morn,

When shepherds first heard the glad story that Jesus, the Saviour, was born.

O, how I wish you had been there; No Christmas on earth could compare

With all the rapture and glory we witnessed in Heaven so fair.

You know how I always loved Christmas; it seemed such a wonderful day,

With all of my loved ones around me, the children excited and gay.

Yes, now I can see why I loved it, and oh, what a joy it will be

When you and my loved ones are with me to share in the glories I see.

So, dear ones on earth, here’s my greeting: Look up till the day dawn appears,

And oh, what a Christmas awaits us, Beyond all our partings and tears!

The Firestorm of Fear concerning Christmas!


The Firestorm of Fear concerning Christmas?

 

  This past week we have seen a firestorm of controversy over what color was Santa and Jesus! The raw emotion that erupts like a mad volcano over the different races of people is very frightening and sickening.

 

  We have heard the voices of some who said they were scared of a white Santa and maybe a white Jesus.

 

  I understand the hurts and pains of the ghosts of time past. I believe that the real focus is not on the color of the skin but on  belief that these figures represents which are love,joy,peace and good will to all races of people.

 

  Then we have the humanist and atheist that have so much in fear of Christmas and Christians that they are willing openly attacking and smearing Christ and Christians. The most amazing thing is that they would not do it against the other religions and should not!

 

    Christmas is about the birth of Jesus rescuing us from burning hell and brings us to eternal life!

 

                       JESUS

 

  He came not to a throne, but to a manger.

     He lives not as a King but as a servant.

       He chose not a kingdom, but a cross.

        He gave not just a little, but everything.

 

                                              _ Holly Girth

 

“Christ loved us and gave himself up for us.”

                                     Ephesians 5:2

 

 

Christmas knows no race or creed                                 Christmas is more of Christ and a belief in Jesus.  Christmas overcomes our fears through our belief in Jesus!!

 

Christmas is a time of great peace, hope, joy and celebration of God’s greatest gift of love through His son Jesus!

Christmas heals people’s fears!! I say come to Jesus today and experience the Christ of Christmas.

 

 

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

 

Eddie

The Great Christmas Melt Down!

  Christmas , a time fun, food, and fellowship!  This year more than ever we are seeing the bah humbugs coming out in droves!

  The humbugs of the ghost present, those who declare war on christmas!! Those who attack the Christmas Tree, Natvity and Santa. I call this the great christmas melt down, or are they fielding their oats!!!

 I believe Christ -mas is Christ in us is the only hope of Glory!!!!!! The ahtiest, humbugs  of christmas can try to do all they want but Jesus Christ was born, lived, died on the cross and rose from the dead! He is  lives!

   Is it not amazing that a child born by  the Virgin Mary, can cause great fear in some hearts! Why? why does a child born over 2000 years ago cause great fear today???

    " And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,keeping watch over their flock by night.
     And lo,the angel of the Lord cmae upon them ,and the glory of the Lord shone round about them : and they were sore afraid.
     And the angel said unto them,Fear not:for bring unto you good tidings of great joy,which shall be to all people.
  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
                                                                                               Luke 2:9-11

    I believe that  God gave a gift and that gift is the  Christ  of  Christ-mas. Jesus  God's only begotten son shakes the  very ground of satan hounds.  Jesus birth, and His shed blood on the cross  has set us free from the bondge of sin and shame. We gain eternity from a burning hell meant for satan and his demons!!!!

  Dear friend, I believe that Christmas is  the greatest time of the year and no one can take that away!!!! Jesus Christ was born, lived , died and rose from the dead. I trusted in Him and so can you! He can and will change your life today ,pray this simple prayer," Dear  Jesus, I am a sinner, I repent of my sins , come into my heart today and be my Saviour!

Merry Christmas to one and all!!!

Love ,Eddie
