Act 20:26
Wherefore I take
you to record this day, that I am
pure from the
blood of all men.
Act 20:27
For I have not
shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
God.
Act 20:28
Take heed therefore
unto yourselves, and to all the
flock, over
the which the Holy
Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the
church of God,
which he hath purchased with
his own blood.
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have eternal life. Joh 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. Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant
had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for
the second. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them,
he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house
of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by
the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the
Lord. Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write
them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people: Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach
every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will
I remember no more. Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new
covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth
and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
THE LAST ENEMY
The last enemy, according to the apostle Paul; he states in 1. Cor.
15:26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is DEATH.
In another he writes, The wages of sin is death,
another, to be carnally minded is death. In another
scripture Php. 1:21 he writes For to me to live is
Christ, and to die is gain. 1Co_15:9 . Paul considered
himself the least of all the apostles. For I am the
least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. One
place he calls himself less than least. Php_3:8 Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for
whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do
count them but dung, that I may win Christ. Everything
he had, he counted as dung. What was the meaning of
these astounding words of Paul? This man suffered more
tribulation than all of the other apostles put together.
Paul wrote approximately 75% of the New Testament. Most
humans think in their minds that all the prophets and
apostles are some sort of mythical beings they read
about in their bibles, they quote scripture, but deep
down they are actually saying to themselves is this
real, did these things actually happen, are they true,
could men really do the things the bible says they do?
The bible really was never written for FLESH or
carnality to understand it was written for the spiritual
minded that's why there are so many misunderstandings.
They take scripture and read them, then try to make
scripture say what they want or whatever they think
disregarding scripture altogether. Why do you think we
have so many different religions. Not because of the
Holy Spirit of "THE ALMIGHTY GOD". There is one spirit
and one GOD. God made the man and man made the
gods,plural. Paul says in Corinthians: 2Co 3:6 Who also
hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life.
Jesus gave us parables and similitudes, explaining what
the kingdom of heaven is like. Can we not understand
what he is trying to show or tell us? how beautiful it
is, no pain, no agony, no stress everything perfect just
like in the beginning when we were first created. Jesus
said to the disciples Mat
13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that
he hath, and buyeth that field.
PLEASE think on this for a minute, think about what this treasure is. The
largest diamond in the world is priceless, but the
wealth of this treasure is worth more than any material
substance on the face of the earth. The only place you
will ever find this treasure is deep within yourself.
Deep down in your soul, waiting to come forth. The holy
Spirit working in your mind saying "LAZURUS COME FORTH"
waking up the dead.Waking up the dead spirit thats been
there all these years. Brothers and sisters we have this
treasure. All we have to do is find it. Pull it out from
the deepest part of the soul.This treasure is "AGAPE
LOVE" Websters Ninth New Colligiate Dictionary defines
thus; unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the
good of another... brothers and sisters when we find
this love we need nothing else for we have everything.
Can you imagine forgiving everyone for everything they
have ever done to us? and them forgiving us , oh yea,
we're not saints,by along shot. Paul says
ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GORY OF GOD. Can
you imagine loving and dying for someone you never met
that beat you beyond recognition,then hung you on a tree
to finish killing you? Jesus did! He found that treasure
in the field and sold everything he had and bought it.
Look in the mirror say to yourself do I have this AGAPE
LOVE ? remember we can lie to everyone else but we
cannot lie to ourselves. when we have this agape love we
have overcome. The last enemy is SELF when we overcome
ourselves we overcome death where there is no sin there
is no death. The wages of sin is death the gift of GOD
is eternal life PRAISE GOD I thank you oh gracious
Father for I know you hear my prayers and I know you
hear them always, let thy will be done in earth as it is
in heaven. Teach us Father to love our neighbor as
ourselves and to do unto others as we would have them to
do unto us, Father we pray in Jesus name, amen and amen.
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these.
By now you should have figured
out what the treasure is . The treasure is you, the real
you, the spiritual you, that was in the beginning with God.
We plowed and dug in this field until we found this great
treasure this "AGAPE LOVE" that the Christ had toward us, we
take and sell everything we have which is everything
pertaining to this world we give up completly. Christ prayed
for us to be in the world but not partakers of it. Let this
human body be our world and let the HOLY CHRIST OF GOD
within, rule, with the AGAPE LOVE of our GOD and KING, the
GREAT I AM, the Father of all things that exist and ever
will exist. Let all our praise and prayers be to this GOD
for He alone is worthy. And remember this phrase I heard
years and years ago, " Live each day like it's your LAST,
for one day it WILL be." As we travel lifes' highways of
tribulation, let us triumph with never ceasing prayers from
our lips to the Great God of our universe within. Woody Maples

Joh 1:6 There was a
man sent from God, whose name was John. Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
Light, that all men through him might believe. Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light. Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and
the world knew him not. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth. And also to fulfill the word
of GOD.
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory: Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus: Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour,
striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
All Praise And Glory to the FATHER
Php 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through
your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Php 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that
in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as
always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
whether it be by life, or by death. Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Php 1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my
labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
