From Seed to Tree

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

As many of you may know Pastor Price and Latter Days came together to write a book called the Organic Gospel. The Organic Gospel is a power tool that will help you and others realize what salvation is all about. It is not merely just words but a lifestyle.  I am excited to tell you there is now a Study Guide that goes chapter by chapter through the book! Use this tool to help yourself, friends and family!


When you come to know the Lord it is the beginning of a transformation, you won't be the same! Take your Bible, your book, paper and a pen to get ready to grow higher!

~The Battle is the Lord's

Rejoice, The Big C is Christ!

   

        The 'Big C' is definitely not cancer but Christ! Because anything under Gods control is never out of control.

       The author of this blog was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors told her she wasn't going to live long if she did not follow what they said. Little did they know she has a God who is over all situations.  The Lord was able to use her trial and testimony for those 9 years to reach other people. She passed away from cancer in 2017. Her passing was not God failing. She completed the work God had for her life.
        You see when God tells you something, people of the world will think you are crazy, but your faith needs to hold strong in the Lord.
       "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27

        So REJOICE because the Lord is good and He still has a work for you! Continue to share posts that have changed you so that others may become part of the family of God. We are called to not only hear the Word of God but to DO it! Take action today, don't wait!

      Below you will find a excerpt of one of Latter Days blog called Deathnosis, if you have time please take a read. 

"The value of our lives is not based on what others have meant to us or what we have meant to them.  That is self-centeredness.  The hardest thing for people to accept is that this life is not all about what we want...and neither is our death.  Our eternal destiny is not some happy-go-lucky fairytale independent of the life we have lived on this earth.  For all eternity, we will reap either the consequences or rewards of the choices we have made here and now.

There is a hope and a comfort we can find in our existence after death, but only for those who are found in Christ. That hope and comfort is that we will be forever with Him; sharing in the riches of His love, power, and glory."

~The Battle Belongs to the Lord~

You Are Never Alone

"And he [Elijah] said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 

And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." I Kings 19:14-18

Elijah had a complaint towards God.  He had stood for God in the face of great opposition.  Now he was the only one left and the people desired to take his life as well.  His unsaid accusation against God was, "Where are you God? Don't you see what is happening? Why are you letting this happen to me, especially when I have stood for you?  Don't you care?  Why have you forsaken me?"

Sometimes you go through situations in life when you feel as if you are all alone.  It seems there is no one there to help and no one who sees or cares about your distress.  But God sees.  Not only does He see, but He cares and has already provided the answer.  The key is to not lose faith in Him during these times.

Elijah was mistaken.  Although he could not see them, God had 7,000 people who had not turned from Him in serving Baal. Now here is the thing.  It is not like there was Elijah on one hand and then 7,000 on the other. For all we know, those 7,000 could also have individually felt like they were alone.  Scripture does not say that there was fellowship amongst them or that they even knew of each other.

Mad Cause God Won't Change

A lot of professing Christians are actually mad at God because He won't change (Malachi 3:6).  I know it sounds silly, but they actually want God to be like a no good man who lies to you; and they get angry when confronted with the fact that He is not.

The Lord lays out for us clearly in His word who He is, what He will accept and what He will not. Yet, people keep on their own way, doing what they want to do, expecting that somehow in the end it is going to be different than what God says. They don't want to be told what to do by God and falsely believe that He will accept their strange offerings in place of their obedience.  For some reason - their life experiences, feelings of self-entitlement, head knowledge, hardships, religious works, etc. - they believe that He will make an exception for them.  He won't.

God will honor all of His promises, whether seemingly good or bad.  We cannot malign His righteousness because of His faithfulness in keeping His word.  Yet that is exactly what people are doing when they look upon Him to change His word.  He is not some joker who is stringing you along, but His word is true. Otherwise, we would not be able to trust in Him in any matter.

The ONLY Reason Salvation Can Be Lost

Even If

"Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 

Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." Daniel 3:10-18

On Saturday, the Lord had me reflecting on this Scripture and told me the following:

The three Hebrew boys here were not showing some sort of bravado when they responded to Nebuchadnezzar. Neither were they daring the Devil to throw all he had at them as if they could take it.  Their statement came simply from a place of faith in God. They knew that their lives were in the Lord's hands and that - even if a fiery trial was to be a part of their future - He would be right there with them...and He was (Daniel 3:23-26).
