1988

It was the first half of 1988 that I started my discipleship training in Lindale Texas.

During that time I met a preacher that was well versed in Gods Word. Not only that he seemed to know the lyrics of ever hymn known to the church.
I never met a preacher who came from the holiness era until this point in time.  Perhaps the likes of the late Reverend David Wilkerson or Billy Graham or Oral Roberts would do well, I presume.

Below I leave you with the link the Ravenhills website where you can hear and read hid sermons for yourself.
I trust you will be blessed!

Two Churches or Two Christians

For centuries the church has read the Book of Acts as a good history book of the early church. However, and regretfully, the church has missed the mark along the way. In fact there is two lessons to be learned and it may have costed many a soul from reaching the grandest prize of all.

What does the book of Acts tell todays church and professing Christians today. Mind you the lesson is so simple its unbelievable that its been missed and or overlooked.

Once Jesus was  up into heaven everything was about the start of the church. Then, its the story of Gods people, or early Christians. A lesson that's been overlooked for ages.

Type number one

Listen to what is spoken;
"Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."

"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,  And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
Acts 2:44-47, 4:32‭-‬35

As to ponder this over allow me to simplify this: the first church, the first Christians were unselfish.
So much so they were willing to sell all they had, including house and home, just so those in need were helped.
I seen this in action in part in Lindale Texas. A group of Christians outgrew their meeting place. One man give up three million dollars and a church was built and it grew even while I was there. Point two: while in Texas I seen various people in the church helped with food, clothing and so forth. In fact I was in need of a study Bible and a Christian stepped forth to be sure one was furnished, later I learned the person spent close to $200 in total to be sure I had everything needed before I departed Texas in July of 1988.
Yes, these things can and do the above transpire in todays gospel society. But so does type number two below.

Type number two

Listen to the following and you will see the second type quit clearly.

"But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,  And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.  And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.  And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.  And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things."
Acts 5:1‭-‬11

In short we see what transpired in the early church to those who had greed and doubt in their heart. First they choose to hold back not only from giving to God but also to those in need as well as the church. In short they deliberately lied not only to the church but to the Holy Sprirt. The punishment was, as we see was certain death to demonstrate to others that such will not be tolerated by the throne of God. "And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things." Acts 5:11

Okay, so we see what Gods people did back in the early day church. We also see the lesson learned by the early church about holding back and lying to the Holy Spirit. But does the latter transpire today? Answer, in truth?
Yes and no. The end result may not be so severe but it transpires in the death of churches throughout the United States. You say your church has not nor is dying? Look at your numbers compared to what your seating capacity might be. If you have 150 to 200 in your church but you can handle 500-1000 then you have a problem.
Lets look at it at a one on one level:
Is there people in your church going hungry but others drive nice cars and live in $250000 plus homes? Then there may be a problem. How about your community? Are there many homeless? Many ex-felons? Many disabled?
Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew
"Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."
Matthew 25:45

what to proper and be in good health?
Treat EVERY person just as if you were giving Jesus a simple glass of water.
You can NOT walk the fence of lukewarmness when your own brother or sister has needs in their life. God speaks clearly about lukewarm Christians in the book of Revelation
YOU, as a professing "Christian" have a choice, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.   So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.   Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:   I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." Revelation 3:15‭-‬18

Many of societies issues can an could be resolved IF Gods people who are called by His name would...obey.

Now...look amounts those in your church and see who you can help. Look in your community and see who you can help. Got a million dollars profit? Invest it in a homeless center.

Think about this: the next person you help might just be an angel of the Lord whom you are entertaining. Or it could be the Lord Jesus Himself. You just never know.

The Difference

Throughout my life on this planet called Earth there are some hard core facts. Some you might agree with, others you won't.
Fact of the matter is this

#1. Gods Word is true

#2. I believe in God as He seems to have believed in me nearly 65 years.

#3. Conditional love is a form of bribery. Parents use it to get things done around the house they will not do like taking out the garbage.

#4. Fish will only go after bait if they are truly hungry or are bribed.

#5. There is this thing called love. You will see it when a mother puts her baby up for adoption. Not cause she has to but because she knows what's best for her child.

Lastly, and after nearly 65 years I find the following more and more true;

There is a difference between friendship and an aquantace.

#1. Friendships are born not of wood, clay, stone or money. They are born out of a love only God can give.

#2. An acquaintance will only show up at the end of the dance.

Gods own Word says the following about what a friend truly is;

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."


John 15:13 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.15.13.KJV

Discipleship Training?

Disciples a person who has underwent discipleship training from his/her spiritual leader(s)

We are not talking about making a cult like the late Jim Jones. But teaching a group of committed Christians
#1. Gods Word
#2. Commitment
#3. Discipline (but not on a cruel and barbaric level)

When yours truly underwent discipleship training I was blessed part way into it with a mentor. In fact my mentor was not only a Pastor but also a Minister of Evangelism. I was blessed to have my mentor from August 22 1988 until March 16 2016 when he went on to be with the Lord.
That, dear reader is about 20 years or more of commitment not just to a teacher but moreso unto God.

Sadly to many in this day and age cannot seem to commit to any length of time. Some saying its time to "retire" or that they "are burned out." Both are cheap excuses and hold no foundation whatsoever.

Pastors and Sunday School teachers should worry less about who ate the fruit in the Garden of Eden first and more about making disciples out of what they have and of course showing those the way down the Romans Road, aka salvation or in 2nd Corinthians its called the Word of Reconciliation.

Can discipleship traing be possible in this day and age? The answer is s big yes. What's the end result? Look at the inner circle of those around Jesus; they gave up all they had even to the point of death.
Can discipleship train transpire in your city or state? The answer is yes.
Want to know how?
#1. Read Gods Word see and hear what Gods own Son taught.
#2. Pray for guidance. God will never lead you astray only men like Jim Jones.
#3. IF God so leads look into buying 100 acres of land to build and harvest on. God will show you more on this.
#4. Find a group of Christisns to be on staff on a rotation basis.just like working 9 to 5 perse.
#5. Find a indivuals willing to live on campus for a six month basic training. Out of those you may find your next leaders and teachers.

It's time to get back to doing ehst Gods one Son told us to do, "make disciples."

---------->>>

The following was posted in #Facebook #Instagram #Google+ and #Vero before the above commentary was penned. In fact the following actually rekindled what I went through myself. Safe to say I believe that IF discipleship training is done properly there just might be more of the United States population sitting in churches today. Thus, its safe to say that those in the church are not doing the jobs even Jesus did Himself.

The task of discipleship training is a lost art. Mostly because people rather sit in pews doing nothing than get their little hands dirty.

WARNING,: Watch & Learn

2nd Timothy 2: 15 reads ad follows,

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Each and every day a person ought to read Gods Word. Why you ask. Do you will not only know the truth but to build up your mist holy faith. That's right, to build up your faith. Because your faith is like a bank. The more faith you put in the greater you can "fight the good fight of faith."

But, regretfully there is more to this adventure as you hopefully walk with God:

Along your way you will come across those who will put aside godliness to talk about just about anything they desire. However when and if any person brings forth a scripture they seem to play a magic act and slowly sweep it aside. Maybe even going to say its "out of context." You see as you study Gids Word you will, or ought to recognize that a person just might fall into s certain category. And mind you here I will use scriptures that can not be denied.

A.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2 Timothy 2:4 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/2ti.2.4.KJV

B.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:21‭-‬22 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.1.21-22.KJV

C.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2 Timothy 4:3‭-‬5 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/2ti.4.3-5.KJV

D.
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:24‭-‬27 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/heb.10.24-27.KJV

I believe I have given ample evidence what one ought to look for when listening to a "teacher."

When a person says they don't assemble with fellow believers in a church setting thay alone ought to raise a red flag.
You see when your with other believers in a church setting such as Sunday Scool or the main service your faith is built up. Not so much by the preaching or teaching but by the interaction with other believers. In other words your sharpening your faith skills aka iron is sharpening iron.

Be diligent dear reader.
Watch what you see.
Listen carefully to what you hear.
And if a person pushes away scriptures to aside I frankly would be careful to his or her instructions and teaching.

Always test the teachings and see if they lineup with Gods Word.

Your Fired!

Your Fired!
Friday, July 03, 2009

The title of this message was virtually set in stone by the financial magnet Donald Trump and so lets presume that instead of dear old Donald being in charge it is God.

So now allow me to set the stage; 
You have a decent job. It pays enough to pay the bills, feeds the family, put food on the table, provides a roof over your head and then there is a little money left over to go to the movies or go to the amusement park or even take a vacation. However, while you’re at work what do you do when your boss gives you an assignment; do you  A. do the job asked of you? B you take a long break off the work site only to do the work later? C you don’t do the work at all?
A majority of you would answer that you would choose A and do the work right? However, what if you never did the work at all? What do you think the end result would be? Let’s take a look; The end result is one of the following but you choose the answer.

Does your boss

1.pat you on the back and tell you did good?
2.give you some other reward like free tickets to a baseball game or a trip around the world?
3.after repeated requests to do your job the boss sends you out the door with your bags packed and tells you he will mail you your last check?

Of course after not doing your job after many requests you would find yourself out the door waiting at home for your last check. And not surprisingly your boss would be doing the right thing right?

So now let us take a look at your job performance as a professing Christian.

And as our base we will use the following scriptures; first  John 15 1-12 and it reads as follows

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 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. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Now that scripture may sound complex and your job description a little vague. So let us go to another scripture Matthew 28: 19 & 20 and it reads as follows;

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 always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Do those words clarify your job description as a Child of the highest God? Thus, your job, your task, in your walk with the Lord is to tell others about the saving knowledge of Jesus. Therefore, just like an apple tree brings forth apples and not pears your task is to bring forth more people for the Kingdom of Light. That is unless you prefer to see people living for all eternity in eternal damnation.

A vast majority of people professing to be Christians have been running to the Pastor and asking for a ministry. And I just wonder if the pastor is not just scratching his head a time or two. For if, and I say if God’s people were really reading God’s Word they would have seen and known that they already have a job to do. Allow me to show you what God has been saying for countless generations; If you have your Bibles at hand open up to 2nd Corinthians 5:17-18 and it reads as follows;

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Thusly, your task as a born again Christian is to do something that may make you feel uncomfortable and tell others about what Jesus did for not only you, but for the countless thousands upon thousands. For you see, you, yes you are an ambassador for Christ as it is written in 2nd Corinthians 5: 19-20

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For countless years the church  brainwashed the congregations it was the pastors job to reach the lost. Just like they told them that the Word of God was only for them to read. Well, here is the skinny, they lied and countless millions like you have been lied to. That is exactly where Satan wanted them and has held them. Well the lie and the liar is exposed here and now! Now you know the truth and as we know God is truth and in His is no lie.
This means only one thing. As Christians we have a job to do! We represent not only ourselves, not only Jesus, not only God, but we represent the total Kingdom of God. And those who do not do the job God will purge them like a person who is refining gold. The choice is yours and yours alone what will you do with this Man of God named Jesus? Will you be selfish and keep Him to yourself or will you share the love and tell others?

Herein, God, for the most part has issued you your matching orders. He has given you a job to do as one of His ambassadors. What will you do? Will you run away as a coward? Or will you stand tall and do your task with pride and honor?

You need to remember that God loved you so very much and wanted to restore fellowship with you that He gave all He had. So He could have fellowship with you and countless millions like you. God did not do all this just to condemn the world but through Him the world might be saved as it is written in John 3: 17 listen to what God said  for yourself; For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  Or so that you and me would and could be reconciled to Him.

So dear friend  are you going to run away from your task ashamed of what you know? For If you do then you need to consider these words; And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?  For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.  As it is written in Luke 9:23-26.

God loves not only you, dear Christian! But god loves the whole world. This is why He gave not just anybody but instead His only Son. So you can have life and life more abundantly. And here is good news for every one.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  As it is written in 1st John 1: 6-9

So, no matter if you never have received Jesus as your Savior or if you have known Him for ages this very day, this very moment can be and should be a time of newness for you. for as it is written.
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2nd Corinthians 6:2

So which way will you choose? Life eternal with God or eternal damnation with the father of lies? Will you go about in these last days with itching ears only hearing what you want so that you feel good? Or will you obey God’s words and not only accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior but also obey the words of your Commander that gave you orders as well as the ministry of reconciliation.

IF you are saying that you have neglected your duty as a member of the household of faith I have good news for your. And if you are saying that you would like to know this Jesus who gave His life for you so that you can have life and life more abundantly then right this moment won’t you ask Him for forgiveness?  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thane heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  As it is written in Romans 10: 8-10 

For this is your time to get things right with God. Which road will you choice this very day?

Plea for help

Help is more than an old song the Beatles say back in the 1960's,  in truth it is a plea for assistance from family, friends, churches or even government agencies.

So now that the framework has been set allow this writer to inquire for assistance from you the reader.

#1. From apartment to home ownership. Having an apartment can be a both a blessing and a curse. The main blessing is apartment dwellers do not have the costs of home ownership such as home maintance such as roof and basement repairs or remodeling. Then there is the various costs to landscaping such as mowing the lawn or driveway repairs and costs.
In short apartment dwellers may be having a field day over those home owners.

#2. No matter which side of the tracks you are on there will always be realm of economics. This can be far more felt if, and only if you are in the lower middle class or lower. Then too there are those, each as this writer who fall into any or all  of the following;
2a. Senior citizen
2b. Fixed income
2c. Disabled, legally
2d. Veteran
2e. Homeless

All of those mentioned above there is one thing that remains the same; an up hill battle to get ahead in life and live in the mid middle class of society or above.

As for this writer? Well I fall into several aspects of the above mentioned. And so when a person is financially hurting it can, and perhaps often there is little to zero assistance. Except when your faith is in God and His Word. For countless Christisns such as myself there is the firm belief that "God will supply to all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  But, and here's the kicker, God uses others to help those in need because money does not truly grow on trees.

What am I getting at?
What is my point?

Yours truly needs your deep financial assistance this year in several categories

A) Personal: such as new clothing
C) Transportation: car repairs and maintance
D) Home improvement(s): new roof, gutters, doors windows, landscaping and lastly new insulation.
E) Bills: utilities such as water, electric, gas and telephone


Being 64 plus, on disability and on a fixed income comes down to the trifecta of financial hardships. Will God supply to the needs? Since His Word says He will then that's what God will do. However, God uses people to be His hands and feet.

So, reader, where do you stand? Will you be a gawker or will you be Gods hands and feet?

IF God is leading you to assist?  If so you can asdist by sending funding( in US dollars only please) to the following;

#1.  Littlethunders. Paypal account  

#2.  via snailmail by means of your certified check or money order to

David Libeler
3513 Clairmonet Street
Flint Michigan USA
48503-6602


Please highly consider assisting as my house/home needs various home imorovements that a simple fixed income can not handle in any way shape or form.

Thank you for your financial love gift in advance.  With your assistance maybe all the mention home improvements will transpire in 2018.

Accident! URGENT ! with update

On October 17 2017 I was involved in a hit-n-run accident in Flint Township Michigan at 10:17am in a parking lot at Bio-Med. Where,  at the time,  someone backed into me. See photos below.

Impact was so great, that, the car door will not open or close. As well the side airbags are only partially deployed. Thus the insurance company suggests not to drive the car until repairs are completed. {This means once again the loss of freedom and the loss of any autumn photo shoot. And for the 2nd year in a row at the end of a calendar year.}

It is my hopes that the car can be repaired at the same location as last year... Al Serria Dodge in Grand Blanc Michigan

The doctors at a nearby hospital said I have a mild concussion along with whiplash. So this day after the accident i am really sore and sluggish. If you ever been in a automobile accident you know what i'm talking about.

Being on Disability means I'm on a fixed income. Thus and any  deductibles will need to be paid some how. Thus I am having faith that God will supply to any and deductibles and expenses.

If you can help with a love gift please use the following link that goes directly to my PayPal account due to the accident

If  you can assist I thank you in advance

UPDATE  10/23/17
AS of the date above State Farm has lowered the deductible to a mere $300  which is good of course. But I am a far cry from that goal for reasons stated above.

Will you help this goal to be met head on either in part or whole?

Christians at 2000

Let's look at something interesting happening in today's Christian society.

1. Under grace
2. Not under the law
3. Righteousness vs unrighteousness
4. Mercy
5. Healing

And the list grows and grows. But one thing you don't see on the above list is Christian maturity.

You see for some weird reason Christians today think/believe they are not under the law so they don't have to obey the law. This gives reason to Christians breaking laws meant to save lives and protect others in society. Allow me to pose a question to you the reader;

I'm not under the law but grace this means....

#1. I don't have to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

#2. I don't have to obey the speed limit. Thus if I want to go down the road 15 miles per hour or more above the speed limit I will do it.

#3. I will put as many people in my car/truck/van as I please jeopardizing  the welfare and safety of others.

#4. I don't have to pay any tickets received because I'm right and they are wrong.

#5. I don't have to stop at a yellow light even though I have time to stop.

So many misconceptions in Christian society it is shocking.

So let me try to put the record straight.

A. Yes we are no longer under the law. But the law you refer to is laws written in the days of Moses.

B. Yes you are under grace. But that does NOT give us license to disobey the laws of man. UNLESS it goes against Biblical principles.

C. While your under the dispensation of Grace it gives you no right to be rude.
Example: playing games/ texting/accepting or making calls on your cellphone while at church or even at a Bible study.

Not long ago I overheard a fellow believer say the following,  "Man that guy can't seem to take no for an answer."

The only "no" I think any Christian should be willing to say is no to Satan and his evil ways.

What did Jesus have to say, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar and unto God what is Gods." Matthew 22:21;

Is it meant for any Christian to disobey the laws of man? No it does not!
If the speed limit is 70mph then you drive your automobile accordingly. If the sign says stop then you must come to a complete stop.
Certain laws of the land are meant to keep you and me safe. This means YOU have a responsibility to keep any and all passengers safe.

Lastly,  and the following is about your smartphone/ tablet.
If think its alright to use your cellphone while driving it is NOT a grand idea. I have seen drivers using their cellphones all the while weaving in and out of lanes as if the driver were doing drugs.
I have seen accidents that involved distracted drivers. The end result? Well you can be sure there was many a families grieving.

While you are not 2000 years of age you still need to obey the Lord and mind the laws of the land.

Let us(Christians) always remember that we are to be a light unto a lost and dying world.
And we are to be an example to younger Christians who are maturing in the faith.

Those Dry Dead Bones

Here I sit in a "revival"meeting on the 4th day and wow are people missing it.. Allow me to explain;

As it is written in God's Word in the book of Ezekiel chapters 37 & 38 it talked about dead bones.  Now I share with you what the Spirit of the Lord is showing this vessel.
There are dead bones right in both the house of God but in those that process they are part of the family of God. They are happy to keep God in a box only to let him out as it pleases them.
But hear this dry bones; you can not keep God in a box. You have to let God out so He can set those in bondage free.

Churches, wake up!

Pastors you need to let God out of the box and preach the holy Word as if tomorrow you were to breath your last breath.

I say to the dry bone live!

The Underddog

A vast majority of Christian ministries are listed as "non-profit" and do pretty well. listed as a But What happens when a ministry is "profit" ministry?  Truth of the matter is they strive to stay afloat, often digging into their own pockets to make ends meet. Thus the underdog as in the case of Thunderdome Ministries Network.

From 1983 to 1989 Thunderdome Ministries often published a newsletter. At one point  there was 150 subscribers each and every month. Sadly the newsletter had cease due to rising costs. What is even more sad is the fact that not one subscriber sent in funding.

 This is one example of what can transpire when the elect of outside God fail. And  part of it this is due to the thinking that they should receive just about everything free. In fact they believe that any outside assistance, such as in evangelism, should be paid little to nothing. 

Thunderdome Ministries is underdog ministry striving to stay afloat after all these years. How does the  ministry do so?  Well its simple; when there is a mountain to be moved we tell it to be gone in the name of Jesus. And we press on  moving the stones and rocks out of the way one bit at a time.
As of 1982 there has been one mountain  that yet needs to be moved,  obtaining funding for a homeless ranch(?) for the Christian community. And right now we are about three million dollars short.

The ministry mentioned above is not the only underdog ministry within the invisable walls of these United States. In  truth I would guess there are over five thousand underdog ministries. And they too need the assistance of the Christian community

Now dear reader, Christian, what will you do to help underdog ministries in your city, state and country? Will you assist in moving their mountains or will you hold back from the Lord?

It Takes....

If it takes one person to feed a family what could a group of Christians do?

They say there are over one million Christians in the United States alone. But the number of homeless people can not truly be counted. But there is a way you can help so left me explain if you please.
Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc out of Flint Michigan wants to help the homeless. However there is a catch  per se. And it goes like this:

Every year even Christians find themselves homeless either on a short term level or long term.
What if  the Christian community gathered around to assist? Here re is a plan that very well could work.

If everyone reading this could commit to giving $10 per month who know how many  it could assist. To top it off there would be no need goverment grants whatsoever. In fact as CEO of the ministry I do not want any grants from the US goverment. Why no grants you ask; simple answer is this; grants are filled with rules and  regulations.

Ever hear the phrase "Hay buddy can you spare a dime?" That phrase came out of the days of the Hobo  and depression era. Today you can not get a cup of coffee for a dime. In fact many restaurants charge  a dollar or more. Now the question to you is as follows;

Hay mister can you spare $10 per month committing to at least 6 months?

If you are willing to commit to a mere $10/month for six months or more click on the following link.

                       I commit to freely give $10 per month for at least six months

If you are willing do make the above commitment the staff of the ministry thanks you for your free will love offering. As you so freely bless so God will bless you someday.

Yours in the faith and knowledge of Jesus who is the Christ

What you dont know about.....

By this time you already know a little about Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc. In fact you are reading material right from the pen of the founder  and CEO of the ministry. So allown me to pin point a few things for you as the year starts drawing to a close.

#1. The ministry is faith based.
#2. The ministry is not a 401c3 non profit ministry. Yet we sell nothing to raise funds. If the ministry needs it then the money comes out of my own pocket. It has been this way dating all the way back to  the Spring of 1982.
#3. The ministry does have a small staff consisting of only three men of God. No more no less.
#4. The ministry has its own website hosted Yola  in fact you can find the website at   http://thunderdome-ministries.yolasite.com, We do have at least two mirror sites that I find important in keeping graphics and any ideas.
#5. All websites, both personal and ministry wise, are created by yours truly.. There is no outside agency that assists in this project.
#6. In the past we would ask on Facebook and in this blog for financial assistance. However well meaning it did not fully pan out as planned. We do keep a GoFundMe account
#7. Did you know that yours truly has preached in assisted living homes. in prison and as of a week ago even in churches.  Yes I do know how to teach, preach and prepare sermons. In fact some sermons can be found on the ministry website and at Littlethunders Castle
And yes i am available to share Gods Word in your church here in the United States . Simple call or text me @ 248-295-1365
#8. Yours truly was mentored by the late Pastor Richard Eugene Blue of Waterford Michigan for the duration of some 26  wonderful years.

Now that you heard a little about Thunderdome Ministries Network inc I wonder if you perhaps would like to assist with a love gift. If so see above wher you read a bit about GoFundMe and click that on.

Gods Word Says

1 Timothy 4Amplified Bible (AMP)

Apostasy

4 But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, ² [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning], ³ who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from [certain kinds of] foods which God has created to be gratefully shared by those who believe and have [a clear] knowledge of the truth. ⁴ For everything God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; ⁵ for it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and prayer.

A Good Minister’s Discipline

⁶ If you point out these instructions to the ^[a]brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished [through study] on the words of the faith and of the good [Christian] doctrine which you have closely followed.

Would it Work? Unity or Strife?

Question................What would work ?
Answer...................Unity in the body of Christ.
Q............................How do you prove there is unity in the body of Christ?
A,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Demonstration. Does not the Christians song say "they will know we are Christians by our love?"

Q......................... How should the body of Christ prove it?
A......................... This is a multifold answer
#1.  going to a Christians home regardless what church s/he may be attending. Failure to do so does  not show unity but division.
You see in the mindset of God there is addition and multiplying. In Satan mindset there is only subtraction and division .
#2.  another way is to hold a visit another church Sunday by the entire congregation.  Could you picture the look on a Pastors face when an entire congratulation shows up at his church?
#3... Renovate a church to make it totally barrier free for the disabled. If you look, really look, 99.9% of the churches around the globe are not barrier free. This sets up an appearance that the disabled are not welcome. You need to understand that Jesus id not come to minister so much to the healthy but those who are sick. Read Mark 2:17
This was understood best by the late Oral Roberts and Kathryn Kuhlman

Lastly, and importantly is this: there are no denominations in heaven! Christians need to put aside religious and denominational doctrines of which has cause strife and divisions in the church. And what did I pen earlier? God adds and multiply while Satan subtracts and divides.

As a Christian which do you prefer? envy and strife? or peace that surpasses all understanding with and in God and His moral and heavenly laws.






                                                                                       

The Watchman

Does this planet, as a whole, need a Watchman?

What is a Watchman?

The answer to both is as follows:

Yes this planet needs a Watchman and here is why and what he should be like.

A watchman is very simular to the likes of Ezekiel, Jeremiah and even John The Baptist. Every one told the world what was going on and all its sinfulness. That is the ultra basics of a Watchman.

Want to know what the world does not want? To hear about sin and hell damnation. They want to continue living a life where the enemy has them entrenched.
Furthermore, there are chruches that say they believe in Gods Word 100% but, and are you ready for this, they take out parts they dont believe in.

I'm telling you in the here and now the following:
Not only is this place called Earth messed up but are Gods people.

Let me make one thing clear:
"The wages of sin is death" that dear reader is in Gods Word. And sin can not be allowed in heaven no matter your name, rank and or serial number.
You can be the Queen of England, Reverand Billy Graham, Reverand Oral Roberts or the President of the United States.
If you sin you will NOT gain entrance into heaven.
UNLESS, you repent and ask the Lord Jesus into your heart sincerly and honestly.

Let it be known if you try to play games with God on this matter you WILL lose. This is a game you can NOT win.

I will pen more another day. I wanted to simply get the basics out in the open in the here and now.

Whats up with that?

Life as we know it is wrapped in many layers. Which layer one chooses determines various outcomes.

But what if you choose a layer where there is little recreation. What transpires then? I've seen highly educational people so engulfed in learning that nearly all their friends seemed to flee at some point in time. Perhaps they could see that without outside stimulation one could induce an overload if sorts.

What the heck does that mean?

It all comes down to one old saying,
"All work and no play makes for one boring life."

But here is a question to ponder.
Does that phrase work even in the realm of Christianity? I'm not talking about man-made religion where countless doctrines of do and don't exist. I'm talking about real Christianity where Biblical doctrines transpire. You know , "the doctrine of Jesus Christ" and the elementary teachings of Christ as in Hebrews 6:1 & 2

Can one be so "heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good?"

A NEW ERA

Welcome
To
    Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc

                                                Dawn of A New Era

You know this ministry for its work in the prison ministry.  Now we embark in to a new era where the vision is as enormous. What you are about to read is a small fraction of what will occur.

                                                             Stage I

Housing for Christians who are in need of temporary(3-8 months) housing while waiting to move into their own house.

                                                                   Stage II

Temporary housing for Christian music groups on tour. Not a hotel or motel not even a dormitory but  an actual furnished house. To boot there would be parking for their tour bus in a garage large enough to hold two tour buses and do any minor repairs.

                                                             But How
                          #1. Buy 100+ acre of land with some needed buildings
                          #2. Build actual 4 bedroom rustic ranch homes via

 Monolithic Dome homes and churches   

 #3. Build a 300 seat chapel with a learning center with the same style as mentioned above in number two .

                                                                Why?
  #1. Some Christians either lose their house to fire or are buying for the first time need housing
   #2. On the road Christian musicians either sleep in their tour bus of spend money on cheap hotels or motels. Some passing Pastor could rest his head thus he too could be spared various expenses
 #3. The chapel will be used for such things as a Christian coffee house. The ministry could even hold Sunday evening services.

                                                       What About Costs?
  At present there is a location that fits a huge percentage of this new era. The listed asking price is $2,250,000 million dollars plus taxes closing costs and so forth. Thus we are looking at a need of perhaps five to ten million. Such would enable the building of not only the chapel but very well three to four houses

     NOW that you heard about this new aspect the question becomes as follows:
            
                         Will you  help us so we can help them?
