WHAT MY BIBLE (K J V) MEANS TO ME

                                       

                   From the desk of June Estelle Cash  

                WHAT MY BIBLE - KJV - MEANS TO ME 

                                                            

           WHAT MY BIBLE - THE K J V - MEANS TO ME

     PSALM 138. 1,2   I will praise thee with my whole  

        heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

        I will worship toward thy holy temple and praise 

         thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:

        thou has magnified thy word above all thy name.

       Jesus said as he prayed to the Father 

               John 17.1 These words spake Jesus, and 

               lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, 

               Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, 

               that thy Son also may glorify thee. 

               John 17.2  As thou hast given him power 

                over all flesh, that he should give eternal

               life to as many as thou hast given him.

                John 17.3  And this is life eternal, that 

                 they might know thee the only true God

                and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

                John 17.4  I have glorified thee on the 

                  earth, I have finished the work which 

                 thou gavest me to do.

                 John 17.5  And now, O Father, glorify thou

                 me with thine own self with the glory 

                   which I had with thee before the world.

                  In Jesus prayer to the Father, he 

                      continues:

                  John 17.6 I have manifested thy name unto

                    the men which thou gavest me out of the 

                   world: thine they were, and thou gavest 

                  them me: and they have kept thy word.

                  John 17.7  Now they have know that all 

                    things whatsoever thou hast given me

                    are of thee.   

                  John 17.8  FOR I HAVE GIVEN UNTO THEM

                    THE WORDS WHICH THOU GAVEST ME;

                    AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEM, 

                          AND HAVE KNOWN SURELY

                                    THAT 

                                   I  CAME OUT FROM THEE

                         AND THEY HAVE 

                                          BELIEVED

                       THAT THOU 

                                        DIDST SEND ME.

                           John 17.14  I  have given them thy word: 

                             and the world hath hated them, because

                             they are ot of the world, even as I am

                                   not of the world.

                          John 17.15  I pray not that thou shouldst 

                           take them out of the world, but that 

                            thou shouldst keep them from the evil.

                          John 17.18  As thou hast sent me into 

                            the world, even so have I also sent them

                             into the world.

                          John 17.19   Neither pray I for these alone

                              but for them also which shall believe 

                                on me through their word.

                         

                   

                                              HERE JESUS WOULD BE GOING TO THE CROSS

                                                             YET HERE HE WAS ASKING GOD HIS 

                                                                  FATHER TO DO JUST WHAT HE 

                                                                  KNEW GOD SENT HIM FOR

                                         THOUGHT FOR THE DAY -  THAT GOD'S WORD

                                         IS COMPLETE - IT IS FINISHED - AND IT IS ALL 

                                          WE NEED IN THIS LIFE TO KNOW GOD AND 

                                        TO WALK WITH HIM.

                                THE APOSTLES SPREAD OUT OVER THE WHOLE WORLD

                                 AFTER JESUS ROSE FROM THE GRAVE.     

                                  HIS LAST COMMAND WAS:   

                                  "ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN 

                                EARTH,  GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, 

                                 BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND 

                               OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING 

                                 THEM TO OBSERVE WHATSOEVER THINGS I HAVE 

                                 COMMANDED YOU, AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY

                                  EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. AMEN. 

                                               MATTHEW 28.18 - 20  

                                    

                                  

                       1.  MY BIBLE UPHOLDS ME. 
                                    Psalm 119.116   Uphold me according
                                   to thy word, that I may live: and let me
                                    not be ashamed of my hope.

                                    Psalm 56.3    What time I am afraid,
                                          I will trust in thee.

                        2.  IT ORDERS MY STEPS 
                                  Psalm 119.133  Order my steps in thy 
                                   word: and let not any iniquity have 
                                  dominion over me.

                                  John 15.7   If ye abide in me, and
                                     my words abide in you, ye shall
                                   ask what ye will, and it shall be 
                                     done unto you.

                         3.  IT PRODUCES JOY       
                                    Psalm 119.162  I rejoice at thy word,
                                    as one that findeth great spoil.  

                                         John 16.33   These things have I 
                                   spoken unto you that in me ye might
                                  have peace, in the world ye shall have
                                   tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have
                                 overcome the world.  

                        4.    IT STRENGTHENS ME.  
                               Psalm 119.28

                               I John 2.14  
                               Phil.4.13

                       5.   IT GIVES HOPE.      
                             Psalm 119. 74  They that fear thee will be
                              glad when they see me; because I have hoped
                               in thy word. 
                            Romans 5.1,2  Therefore being justified by 
                            faith, we have peace with God through our 
                          Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have 
                            access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,
                            and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

                        6.   IT GIVES LIGHT  
                                    Ps.119.105   Thy word is a lamp unto my 
                             feet and a light unto my path.  
                                      John 8.12   Then said Jesus again, I am
                            the light of the world: he that followeth me 
                             shall not walk in darkness , but shall have the 
                           light of life. 
                                    Psalm 27.1 The LORD is my light and 
                               my salvation: Whom shall I fear? The LORD 
                           is the strength of my life,  Of whom shall I be 
                            afraid?     

                       7. IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING.
                                Psalm 119.169   Let my cry come near
                              before thee, O LORD: Give me understanding
                                according to thy word.  
                               Proverbs 1.7  The fear of the LORD is the 
                               beginning of knowledge: but fools despise
                                wisdom and instruction. 

                               Proverbs 2.1 - 6
                                2.1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
                              and hide my commandments with thee,
                               2.2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom
                                  and apply thine heart to understanding, 
                                 2.3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge , and 
                                    liftest up thy voice for understanding, 
                                 2.4   If thou seekest her as silver and searchest
                                      for her as for hid treasures: 
                                2.5  Then shalt thou understand the fear of 
                                the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
                                 2.6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his
                                mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 

                       8. IT SHOWS GOD'S WILL
                                Isaiah 55.11    So shall my word be that 
                         goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return
                           unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which
                           I please, and it shall prospoer in the thing whereto
                           I sent it. 
                              Matthew 4.4  And he answered and said, It is 
                           written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but 
                          by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth 
                            of God.  (Jesus responding to the devil)

                            
                        9. IT BUILDS UP 
                             Acts 20.32   And now, brethren, I commend
                         you to God, and to the word of his grace, which 
                       is able to build you up and to give you an 
                        inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

                               2 Timothy 3.16 and 17  
                        All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
                           and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
                          correction, for instruction in righteousness
                         that the man of God may be perfect, throughly
                           furnished unto all good works.  

                       10. IT PRODUCES FRUIT 
                               John 15.5   I am the vine, ye are the branches,
                            He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same 
                            bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye 
                           can do nothing.
                               John 6.63   It is the spirit that quickeneth; the
                            flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak 
                              unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
                                Psalm 1. 1 -3 
                               1. Blessed is the man that walketh 
                                not in the counsel of the ungodly,
                               nor standeth in the way of sinners,
                               nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
                                2. But his delight is in the law of the 
                                 LORD, and in his law doth he meditate
                                  day and night.
                               3. And he shall be like a tree planted
                                  by the rivers of water, that bringeth
                                   forth his fruit in his season; his leaf
                                   also shall not wither; and whatsoever
                                    he doeth shall prosper

            11. IT CONVICTS OF SIN 
                      Hebrews 4.12   For the word of God is quick,
                     and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 
                    sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of
                    soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
                      is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
                     heart.    
                                  to be quick  =  to be alive
                                 God's Word is not a dead book
                                         but is  A L I V E  
                     Psalm 119.89   FOREVER, O LORD, THY
                           WORD IS SETTLED IN HEAVEN.  

                         12.  IT CONVERTS THE SOUL
                               James 1.18  Of his own will he begat us
                                 with the word of truth...
                                I Peter 1.25  the word of the Lord endureth
                                  forever. And this is the word which by the
                                    gospel is preached unto you.  
                              
                        13. IT CLEANSES THE CONSCIENCE.
                               John 15.3   Now ye are clean through the 
                               word which I have spoken unto you...Jesus
                               speaking to the disciples.
                               Psalm 12.6The words of the LORD are 
                                    pure words: as silver tried in a furnace
                                  of earth, purified seven times.  
                         14. IT SETS US APART IN OUR LIFE.
                                John 17.17    Sanctify them through thy
                                      truth;  thy word is truth.    
                          15. IT CORRECTS THE WRONG.
                                  Proverbs 1.23 Turn ye at my reproof; behold
                                   I will pour out my spirit unto you; I will
                                    make my words known unto you.   
    
                           16. IT CONFIRMS THE RIGHT.
                                    John 8.31  Then said Jesus to those Jews 
                                  which believed on him, If ye continue in my 
                                    word, then are ye my disciples indeed.  
                                      John 8.32  And ye shall know the truth, and
                                           the truth shall make you free.   
                           17. IT COMFORTS THE HEART 
                                    Psalm 119, 50   This is my comfort
                                      in my affliction: for thy word hath 
                                      quickened me.  
                                    Psalm 119.54    Thy statutes have been
                                    my comfort in the house of my pilgrimage.
                                  

                 
                           My Bible is to me the dearest ever possession I have.
                              It is more to me than anything.

                           The early Christians spread the Word over 
                          the entire globe in just three centuries.  The
                           evidence ?  That 3 million people were 
                         killed, tortured, crucified, burned for those 
                          first three centuries, the FAITH THAT JESUS
                               CHRIST WAS THE MESSIAH, THE 
                              SON OF THE LIVING GOD  was hated,
                               despised, feared.    However, in the lives
                              of those that died, scripture was copied
                             and copied and copied no matter how many
                            times they were burned and destroyed.
                              Today our KING JAMES VERSION of the 
                             BIBLE IS STILL THE LIVING WORD 
                             IT IS COMPLETE,   NO MORE TO BE 
                              ADDED, AND NOTHING TO BE 
                           SUBTRACTED.   IT IS COMPLETE.
      
                             Reading God's Word brings Light
                              Believing It brings Light into my Walk
                              Displaying God's Light you can be 
                                   one of the Children of Light. 
                              


                       The  B I B L E    YES ! THAT'S THE BOOK 
                                       FOR ME ! 
                           I STAND ALONE ON THE WORD OF GOD!
                                     THE B I B L E !   

                         

                                                  

                                                                                    

WALKING THE HEAVENLY ROAD BEGINS WITH ENTERING THE GATE

WALKING THE HEAVENLY ROAD BEGINS WITH ENTERING THE GATE

by  LilacladyJunebug2 

IT TAKES A GATE TO ENTER

Matthew 7. 12 - 14  Therefore whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.   Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

                      Matthew 4.23 -25.  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people.    And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them all. 

                             Matthew 5.1-2a   And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, the disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth, and taught them"  

                      Let's think ! about it.

               Everyone that came to Him has been healed.

Would you ready to L I S T E N ? if you were healed? 

He tells them who is blessed  5.1 - 12

poor in spirit

those who mourn 

those who are meek 

those who hunger and thirst for righteousness

those who are merciful

those who are pure in heart

those who make peace 

those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake

Matthew 5.12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad 

for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted 

they the prophets which were before you. 

As the Hollyhock is named Althea - and stands 

for honesty, and truth, 

so too, Jesus gives us a way to view 

ourselves and others,

and how to 

ENTER THE GATE

WHICH LEADS TO HEAVEN.

Matthew 5.16 

 Let your light so shine before men, 

that they may see your good works, 

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  

He goes on to say that He is the One who

came to fulfill the Law, not to destroy it.

Matthew 5.17,18 

Think not that I am come to destroy 

the law, or the prophets: I am not 

come to destroy, but to fulfill: for 

verily (Amen) I say unto you, 

Till heaven and earth be passed,

one jot or one tittle shall in no wise

pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." 

In His message to us, He today is saying

still,   Blessed are those who choose to 

enter the Strait Gate and walk the narrow way,

instead of entering the Broad and Wide Gate

which leads to Destruction.

I speak to you today, as God would have me 

speak.

Jesus gave us all that we need to find 

ETERNAL LIFE 

and He has made it plain

WE MUST ENTER THE GATE THAT IS STRAIT

AND NARROW

THE ROAD 

IS NARROW ALSO

When a person drives a car, he needs 

to know where he is going in order 

to get there.

Jesus has given us not only His words,

but He said BEFORE it happened, 

that He would go to the Cross, suffer, 

and die, and be raised again.

He told them, and His Word has been 

recorded for us so that we may know 

and understand JUST WHO AND WHAT

HE WANTED US TO BE....

                 SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD 

                              AND ALL THESE THINGS

                                               SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU 

                            

                          Psalm 31.15   My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

This is the same Psalm from which David declared in verse 5 "Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth."    Jesus said this very same thing in Luke 23. verse 45,46 when Scripture tells us "And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.  And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." 

                      Matthew 7. 7,8    In this passage Jesus was giving to us instructions as to the Way we should go.   Everyone was expecting an EARTHLY KING,  and had no idea of the truth that here was The King, and His Kingdom was surely as THE KING OF THE JEWS, yet He came to give us the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.      

                   Many today are looking for physical safety, and freedom from fear.   We forget that Paul has told us in I Corinthians 15. 3,4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."

                  

                        ASKING  

                              SEEKING 

                                  KNOCKING 

         MANY PEOPLE ARE ENTERING THE WRONG DOORS

               FOR THEY ARE NOT SEEKING THE RIGHT PATH.

                      So, the question I ask, is 

HAVE YOU BEEN SEARCHING

 IN THE RIGHT PLACE? 

          

 ONE OF MY PASTIMES IS TAKING PHOTOS 

                               When I see rock formations along the highway, I like to take a photo of it, so that when I am home I can look at the picture with a magnifying glass.   Or, if I choose, I can put it on the computer - and in photos - I can look at the photo rotating it upside down, or sideways, and back again.   Quite often, I do this.    It has helped me appreciate how to draw what I see.    Many times I see in the rocks evidences of the FLOOD that came when God told Noah to build the Ark.    

                   As I search to see things in the rocks, I learn much about 

this old world.  There is much evidence in it that speaks of how God is the Creator, and how, because of sin, He sent the FLOOD.  

I am suggesting that if you have not, do so, read the first 9 chapters of the book of GENESIS in the Bible.  I recommend the King James Version in that I find it is most accurate.   There are many good translations of the Bible, but it is remarkable that we even have it.  

           Psalm 119. 105 says  THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.

            

               I was in a cabin with other girls as a young lady, and we were camping for a week with the Gospel being taught there.  In the night, if I had to go to the restroom, I had to take a flashlight 

with me, and I think this verse exactly what happens when we use the light to show our feet where to go in the dark, and that the path becomes accessible as the light shines ahead of me.   

             

When the lightbulb was discovered 

it made a big difference in people's lives.

Today there are people searching 

but the lightbulb of their soul is not plugged into the socket.

Unless the light is put into the socket 

it will not work.

In Psalms 18.25 - 36 it tells us: 

18.25    With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man, thou wilt shew thyself upright.   26.  With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks. 28. FOR THOU WILT LIGHT MY CANDLE, THE LORD MY GOD WILL ENLIGHTEN MY DARKNESS.   29. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.  30. As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31. For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?  32. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.  32. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.  35. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy SALVATION (Y'SHUA)   and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36.  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

                 

When I realize you may not understand, so let me explain why this passage is so meaningful to me.

I fell in 2007 and broke my right wrist, and it was operated on, and I began to use it again.  Then in 2009, I fell while feeding birds in my yard.  I had not listened to my dear husband who had said kindly, "June, don't go out and feed the birds, I will do it.  It is too icy."   Think of it.   I like to do things for myself.   We all do.  That is just how SIN occurs.  When we want what we want to do, and to do it as we wish, not what God wants.

Romans 3.23  For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

John 3.3 Jesus told Nicodemus, Verily, Verily, (Amen, Amen) I say to thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.  

John 3.5 Jesus answered again and said, Verily, Verily (Amen, Amen) I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

We are born with water when we are PHYSICALLY BORN. As the mother's water breaks, the baby is sure to come.

 So the first BIRTHDAY IS A REALITY WE ALL HAVE.

The second BIRTHDAY is to be born of the Spirit.

JESUS TOLD NICODEMUS (John 3.16)

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have 

everlasting life.

He continues, and says 

(John 3.17,18) 

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son.  

REMEMBER PSALM 119.105

THY WORD IS A  LAMP UNTO MY FEET,

AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.

Again Psalm 18.28 tells us, 

FOR THOU WILT LIGHT MY CANDLE,

THE LORD MY GOD WILL ENLIGHTEN MY DARKNESS.

Jesus further said to Nicodemus, "And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil;  for everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."  

John 3. 19 - 21

ARE YOU SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS ?

JESUS SAID 

John 8.12  I am the light of the world.  He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

Psalm 27.1 

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?

Matthew 1.21 

The angel told Joseph "Thou shalt call his name JESUS, for he shall save his people from their sins.

Y'SHUA

= 

THE ONE WHO SAVES

THE SAVIOR

THE DELIVERER

THE LORD GOD sent his Son the Lord Jesus Christ to be born, to live, to minister Light in the Darkness, to be rejected, to suffer and die as MY PASSOVER LAMB, and now in Him I can

truly ASK, SEEK, AND KNOCK for I have 

access by faith to the Lord God Himself.

Matthew 7.13,14

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be that go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

Jesus told his disciples several times what He had come to do.

It is recorded in Scripture that Jesus Himself declared his purpose in coming into the world, and foretold about his death, burial and resurrection.   

When He sat at table with the disciples, he declared again the same.

How? By his words in the taking of the Bread and the Cup.

Matthew 26.26  - 28    And as they were eating,  Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body; And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it. For this isis my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission (forgiveness) of sins.

A TESTAMENT IS A WILL THAT ONLY GOES INTO 

EFFECT WHEN THE PERSON 

WHO DIRECTS IT DIES. 
WHEN JESUS DIED - 

THIS WAS THE TESTAMENT HE LEFT FOR US.

HIS BLOOD, HIS BODY TOOK 

MY SIN

AND YOURS

AND 

PAID 

IN

FULL 

THE GUILT

THE PENALTY

THE CONDEMNATION

AND

HE WAS CUT OFF

FOR YOU AND ME

HIS RESURRECTION 

PROVES THE TESTAMENT IS INDEED IN EFFECT.

2 CORINTHIANS 5.21

He hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Matthew 16.21, 22

From this time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how he must go unto Jerusalem; and suffer many things of the elders, 

and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.  But he turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

He further declared 

Matthew 16.23,24 

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, 

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,

and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; 

and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake 

shall find it. 

Matthew 17. 22- 23 

The second time He warns them.

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,

The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and the third day, he shall be raised again.

And they were exceeding sorry.

I think of when my dear Mother was ill, and nearing death. She was trying to tell me FACTS about things SHE WANTED ME TO DO. But because I was so sad about her coming death, I did not pay too much attention TO HER REQUESTS.  So I had to really search my heart after she died, for I COULD NOT REMEMBER what she told me to do.

It did work out.  I did remember.  

Here the Disciples were focused on the Coming Death.

They were sad.

Their focus was not on HIS PROMISE OF THE RESURRECTION.

Again, in Matthew 20.17 - 19

Jesus again tells his Disciples this.

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,  

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death; and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge; and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

In my next post I will look at Jesus' words 

when he arose from the dead.   

HOPE IS FOUND ONLY IN JESUS

HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN SAVE 

WHO CAN LIGHT UP OUR LIFE

WHO CAN FORGIVE OUR SIN

WHO CAN CLEANSE OUR HEARTS 

AND PURIFY OUR LIVES

TO SERVE HIM.

ONE DOOR AND ONLY ONE

AND YET ITS SIDES ARE TWO

I'M ON THE INSIDE 

ON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU? 

ONE GATE AND ONLY ONE

AND YET ITS WAY IS CLEAR

I MUST CHOOSE THE STRAIT AND NARROW GATE 

AND LEAVE THE WIDE AND BROAD WAY

IF I AM TO FIND 

THE ANSWER TO MY GREATEST NEED

Down at the cross where the Savior died,

there where for cleansing from sin I cried,

There to my heart was the Blood applied,

Glory to His Name.

Glory to His Name 

Glory to His Name

There to my heart was the blood applied,

Glory to His Name.

MATTHEW 28.18 - 20

And Jesus came and spoke unto them saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST, 

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you alway,  even unto the end of the world. 

The Yakima River flowing here keeps the farmers happy

Is there a river of LIFE flowing in you?

If so, then you will be fruitful and abiding in Christ. 

Galatians 2.20

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

John 15.5

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you,

ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

just plug yourself into the light source ! 

John 6.37 - 40

All that the Father hath given me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 

Acts 4.12

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
