FREEDOM  FROM  SIN,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”   10/29/20      From Ken Smith

Today’s Scripture              (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let us see your miracles again; let our children see glorious things.   (Psalm 90:15–16, TLB)
   
Glorious Things
Psalm 90 is a prayer of Moses. Perhaps you can identify with his request in today’s Scripture. He was saying, “God, I’m having a tough time. I’ve had some bad breaks, but I’m asking for Your restored blessing.” When you face difficulties, do as Moses did and pray, “God, strengthen me again, heal me again, and show me Your favor again.”

Your situation may not look good. You may be facing something at your business, in a relationship, or have a health issue that you don’t think could ever work out. But God didn’t bring you this far to leave you. He can turn things around, bring a breakthrough, restore your health and happiness, and cause your business to take off. Rise up in faith and say, “God, I’m not going to give up. I’m believing to see glorious things, miracles again, the dream come to pass, the problem resolved. I know that You always finish what You start.”
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for being the God of miracles who does glorious things. Thank You for the assurance that the work You’ve started to do in my life will be brought to completion. I declare that I will not give up my trust in what You can do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Comments:
There is the requirement of REPENTANCE that is missing from the above.  If we really want God to Bless and Support us in our life it will come through faith in HIS promises that is strong enough to make us want to change (repent) and to become like HIM.  And it is different for different grade levels.   What you could get away with in the 1st Grade will not fly in the 5th Grade and so on.  As we change to become in the image and likeness of Christ Jesus there is also a maturing process so that the giants that we have to slaughter may even get even bigger.  We find that our Creator has restrained the more difficult changes that we need to experience until we have the faith and wisdom to have the victory over them.  We tend to think of ourselves as a one room log cabin but in reality every cell of our body is a complete living entity and can be host a negative squatter.  Biologically we have a clean up crew carrying out the trash 24/7 and when healthy, we are healthy.  Spiritually it is about the same.   The demonized man had thousands of demons invading his body/house.  And Jesus took authority over them and expelled them.  Even after you become a Christian you can some times need a deliverance.  There are three levels of demonic attack.  Oppression (from the outside) Obsession (from the mind) Possession (from the heart)

With Oppression, it is a feeling of depression, lust, greed, anger,  perhaps a headache or ringing in the ears, a negative feeling of one kind or another.  Like a thief trying to find an unlocked door.  And it is easy to get ride of it by simple, and in faith, strongly command it to leave in Jesus Name!!!!   But you can not fix what you don’t know is broken and have the tools to fix it with.  With out faith it is impossible to get the victory.  Faith come by knowing the Word of God as Jesus did.

With Obsession it is like when someone flips a switch and out comes the very strong even violent rage or attitude about something of one kind and another.   My stepfather hated Ma Bell Telephone Co.   So to avoid his 30 min recorded rampage, we would use the pay phone at the corner so we would not get sliced and diced about Ma Bell.   Totally a waste of time for all concerned.  It can be an emotional negative obsession about anything including people.  But the people who need to be set free do not even realize what is happening for that time period and when over go back to being normal.  It is like a trip wire that goes into insanity and then it is over.  So you find the trip wire, remove it in Jesus name and securely lock that door with forgiveness or restitution or what ever needed and it will be gone.

With Possession the demons can take over for sometimes long periods of time.  With the ones Jesus dealt with the man was lucid  for when Jesus came by and ran to HIM for freedom.  (Perhaps the demons went into hiding.)  But then the demons were exposed and took over and accused Jesus of Sin which went nowhere. And Jesus simply commanded them to leave which they had to do.   In my experience when there is the power of unity and truth is solid faith with a group of believers then the darkness can not abide the light and exposes itself and the Church can gather around and facilitate a deliverance just as Jesus did.   Been through this a number of times and the person delivered is always so very happy to be free and to be able to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  So if you feel demonized then find a church full of faith and power and sit on the front row.  It will be difficult to do, but on the other side is true freedom.  Your Heavenly Father loves you and want’s you to be totally free.

LORD’S DAY   “WORTH CONSIDERING”     10/27/10       From Ken Smith<><

Today’s Scripture
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.  (Psalm 118:24, NLT)
    
Be Your Best Today
When we read about the heroes of faith, their lives seem so exciting, but the truth is that most of their days were routine. Moses experienced one miracle after another, but those involved only a few days of his life. Most of our days will be ordinary days with some exciting days. If you live from big event to big event, waiting for something exciting to keep you encouraged, you’re going to be disappointed.   Learn to enjoy where God has you right now. This is the day the Lord has made. It may be routine, but when you do the ordinary with a good attitude, that’s getting you prepared for the new things God has in store. It’s being faithful day in and day out, doing the right thing when the wrong thing is happening, staying in faith when we’re not getting our way. You won’t be promoted if you’re not being your best where God has you right now.
    
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for this day that You have made. Thank You that I can be faithful in the ordinary and routine, knowing that You are preparing me for the new things You have in store. I’m going to keep being my best, serving, giving, and loving right where I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
    
Ken’s Comments:
Each morning I wake up to a new day.   A BIG GIFT OF ANOTHER DAY.  As my age truly a gift of HIS grace.   First I am thankful that I can be forgiven of all of my yesterdays as I check in with the Holy Spirit and view them objectively as God see them and come to true repentance.   Second, I don’t have to be concerned about tomorrow as God has instructed me to concentrate only upon today.  Yes,  I do have a desk Calendar to mark off what is scheduled for me to do tomorrow.  But then I can forget it and not be concerned about missing the date tomorrow.   Third, is the fun part in seeking the Holy Spirit in sharing with me what HE has in mind for my day, today.   

So now I have the day in front of me and am sitting at my desk writing to you.  I have had a nice breakfast, So a little into a Sr. nap (food coma) but feel your need for some encouragement.  You see, life is a paradox.  You have to give it away in order to save it.  You have to go down in humility to be lifted up in God’s Glory.  What you plant is what you harvest.   With out faith it is impossible to please God.    Faith is the substance and the evidence of things hoped for and not yet see.   We are somewhat like batteries, we have a certain charge but in time it dissipates on it’s own and does nothing unless installed in something productive.   And even then if installed backwards it will short out what ever, even if the other batteries are correctly installed.  But when charged individually and placed in series or parallel they can be a mighty source of power for the Kingdom of God..  John 17:20-22   All power in heaven and earth was given to Jesus and then given to HIS Church.   Not individually but collectively.  In other words, It only works out of True  Unity in Love.   You can not expect the car to run right without all of the needed parts put together in the right order.  There is but one church of Christ Jesus as LORD and all who totally make HIM to be LORD and in unity submit to HIS Commandments will see HIM in all of HIS GLORY, Eph. 4:11-16

You have been taught that it is OK and even expected to come to a place to agree to disagree.  A dear long time brother in Christ and I have a disagreement as to how Sanctification works.  He believes as I was also taught that it was a gift (To Make HOLY) as an act of faith to receive as in finding Jesus as LORD.   I have now come to feel that Sanctification is a continuing work of the Holy Spirit.  Where we learn to have victory over our old nature and Put on Christ in our new nature.  That Sanctification is a process to make us a Holy people, really.  So now we are at a point of working on this in LOVE together until we see it as God has designed it to be.  Or we walk away in agreeing to disagree and continue to divided HIS Church.  If you look around, pride is everywhere in working on making divisions.  Divide and Conquer, the enemy motto.  Goggle says that there are now over 30,000.  Christian denominations and such.  No wonder there is no power like in the Book of Acts in the Church today.  No wonder the lost are confused and lost in the religious hypocrisy..  

So I hope to open this blog into a place of discussion based solely on the Word of God to limit confusion.   And with and open forum for your questions that we in LOVE may come into the UNITY that Jesus prayed that we would have in John 17.   That in loving obedience and humility we can find that Spiritual Unity that allows the Holy Spirit to help those of us who are 100% serious of HIS LORDSHIP OVER US.    And we can have faith  to experience the day that the Lord has made and deeply enjoy and rejoice in it.  God’s supernatural intervention always brings Joy along with it.

APPROVAL OF GOD,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”   10/23/20    By Ken Smith

Today’s Scripture      (Across my desk this morning from a Church in Texas.)
“Your approval means nothing to me.”  (John 5:41, NLT)
   
Don’t Rely on People’s Approval
It’s great when people cheer us on and make us feel valuable. We love when a friend compliments us or a coworker helps us on a project. God uses people to help move us toward our destiny. But you can’t become so dependent on people that you’re trying to get your worth and value from them. It’s easy to rely on them to keep you feeling good about yourself and make you feel approved. But if they don’t give you their approval and meet your expectations, you’ll feel discouraged and inferior, and you’ll work overtime to try to win their approval. The problem is, you’re trying to get from people what only God can give. Your value, your self-worth doesn’t come from another person—it comes from your Creator.  Jesus knew better than to rely on people. What they do or don’t do doesn’t determine your worth and cannot stop your purpose. Quit depending on others’ approval and start approving yourself.
   
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the people You’ve placed in my life to help me move to my destiny. Help me, though, not to become dependent upon their approval or try to get my value from them. I declare that I have Your approval and love, and that’s all I need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
   
Ken’s Comments:
This portion of scripture is very interesting in context.  “ And you have not His word (His thought) living in your hearts, because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in and rely on Him Whom He has sent. [That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He has sent.]  39 You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!  40 And still you are not willing [but refuse] to come to Me, so that you might have life.  41 I receive not glory from men [I crave no human honor, I look for no mortal fame],  42 But I know you and recognize and understand that you have not the love of God in you.  43 I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [your hearts are not open to Me, you give Me no welcome]; but if another comes in his own name and his own power and with no other authority but himself, you will receive him and give him your approval.  44 How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory which come from Him Who alone is God?  45 Put out of your minds the thought and do not suppose [as some of you are supposing] that I will accuse you before the Father. There is one who accuses you—it is Moses, the very one on whom you have built your hopes [in whom you trust].  46 For if you believed and relied on Moses, you would believe and rely on Me, for he wrote about Me [personally].  47 But if you do not believe and trust his writings, how then will you believe and trust My teachings? [How shall you cleave to and rely on My words?]” 1 John 5:38-47.   Jesus was referring to a prophesy in Deut. 18:15-19, “15 The Lord your God will raise up for you [a]a prophet (Prophet) from the midst of your brethren like me [Moses]; to him you shall listen.  16 This is what you desired [and asked] of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.  17 And the Lord said to me, They have well said all that they have spoken.  18 I will raise up for them a prophet (Prophet) from among their brethren like you, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.  19 And whoever will not hearken to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.”    Jesus completely fulfills this prophesy and most everyone that I know has at least read the Gospels of Mathews, Mark, Luke and John.  So before our Eternally Creator we are going to stand in eternity and be responsible for our humility and obedience to the words (commandments) of Jesus that HE shared with us.

Before I became a Christian in 1955 in my mind, I had created my own religion.  I thought, I am not really a HOLY MAN and don’t think I would be comfortable living around one.   And I am not at all like Adolph Hitler or Charles Manson or those kind.  So must be there will be a migration of souls to those of like minded.  So I was not concerned about death as I would be OK…  Of course I had no empirical evidence to support that fantasy.  Seems we all tend to make up some kind of a fiction of where we are OK as we are for our trip into eternity.  And we bet our eternal soul on that fiction.  We watched a film the other night “Heaven Is Real” about a little boy that went there and came back, Very Powerful Story.  Our New Testament is a witness of Jesus making that trip into eternity and coming back with hundreds of witnesses to tell us about it.  When we are young we are much too busy, most of the time,  to think about it.  But at my age, I am very interested.  And you know, my 88 years on life has been a flash.  It was only yesterday that I was on the ridge of the chicken house roof with a tea towel tied around my neck hollering SHAZAM to take a leap of faith into being Captain Marvel and flying around the farm.  But older minds talked me out of it.  And there has been plenty of time to find out about Jesus and Repentance and Redemption for which I am most grateful.

Yours, in HIS great Love and wonderful Grace & Mercy,   Ken<><   www.trinity-aloha.org

VICTORY, GOD’S WAY  “WORTH CONSIDERING” 10/21/20,    From Ken Smith

Today’s Scripture          (Over my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.   (Romans 12:21, NIV)
   
Walk Away
When David was a teenager, his oldest brother, Eliab, spoke to him in the most condescending, disrespectful, and accusatory way in front of others (see 1 Samuel 17:28). Rest assured that David felt like telling his brother off, but he kept his mouth closed, turned and walked away. Seeing such self-discipline, it’s no wonder God entrusted David to do great things.

You know that if you argue long enough with someone, you’re going to say things you regret later. A ten-minute argument can set the relationship back ten years. You have to learn to walk away. You’re not going to accomplish anything positive in a heated, disrespectful, contentious situation. Let them have the last word, and you keep your peace. The Scripture says that you “overcome evil with good.” You don’t overcome disrespect with more disrespect, or overcome insult with insult, or overcome shouting with more shouting. You do it by staying respectful. You be the first to walk away.
   
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that in every way possible Jesus overcame evil by doing good. Thank You for giving me the grace to overcome evil by doing good as well. Help me to stay respectful in all of my conversations and every situation and walk away when necessary. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
   
Ken’s Comments,
In my life time we are coming into one of the most important elections that I have ever seen.  My overview is that it is a decision between securing our Constitutional Republic or a big step into socialism.  But it has become a personality cat fight of name calling and lies.  Trump has the philosophy of “If they hit you, hit them back harder.”  And it makes him look like a bully and it could easily move the nation into the web of socialism.  Not saying that he and Biden will ever be friends or on the same page.  But being friends with the American People is a must.  Who wants a bully for president?   I know folks (Christian Folks) who hate, yes deeply hate, Trump with an uncontrollable anger.  Because he has taken on the personality of a bully.  Frankly, I don’t think it is real or works very well due to the sowing and reaping law of the universe of our Creator.  Jesus taught us that the best way, if possible, to get rid of our enemies was to make friends of them.

One time in ministry with hippies I had a really great opportunity to test this out.  There was as big very strong stone mason, called Harvey that fell madly in love with a beautiful blond girl in my ministry.  Harvey rode a really big Harley with short handle bars, I think a 1,200 cc and better than a thousand pounds.  He started stalking the girl and her mother came to me that her daughter was really frightened of Harvey and wanted nothing to do with him.   So I was up to bat and went and talked to Harvey, in love, logically, my best in the Lord.  When done, Harvey looked at me like a big tank on the battle field and told me that he was going to kill me.  And I had not doubt of his intent.  But each time we would meet he would tell me I was dead meat and I will tell him that me and Jesus loved him and try to take time to talk with him about his work and such.  After about a year, no more issue about the girl and we became good friends.  Seemed he needed the love more than he wanted the hate and love won in the end.  Now I have fond memories of Harvey and nearly 45 years later I am still here due to God’s Love.  Harvey once borrowed my canoe one moonlit night and paddled in the open ocean from Kailua to Captain Cook.  His bike would fall over in gravel and need 3 men to get it back up.  If he broke a finger doing stone work and it grew back together wrong he would hit it with his other fist and break it again and tape some sticks to it until it was right. Harvey was something out of a horror movie but he became my friend.  So I know by experience that Jesus is sharing the truth with us about loving our enemies and doing good to them and thus bringing them under the convection of the Holy Spirit.  I don’t know if Harvey ever made Jesus Lord or not, but I would guess that he did,  as God had a lot of love for that guy for sure.

Jesus mentioned that a man’s enemies would also be of his own house.  That is the most difficult kind of a situation.  As every day you have to give the battle to the lord and only bring love to the table even when you know how wrong that they are.  To have the faith to simple Trust Jesus with them and to not get into it with them about the stuff of this world or the next.  God has called us to a life of peace and to be peace makers and to simple be obedient to HIM and to walk away.  But to never loose that understanding that God also loves them the same way that HE love us all.  And that we are to also love them and pray for them that in faith they will come to HIS light and also find HIS Love and Peace even in the midst of the darkness of the enemy camp.  Jesus came to save souls from eternal darkness and separation from God.  This is also our prime directive with what ever gifts that we have from HIM as well.  The world is full of the poor and the lost.  We are to put on Christ and be here for HIM in our little world of influence to love others.  If this is not your prime directive you might want to check out your eternal relationship with your Creator.

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy, Ken<>< www.trinity-aloha.org

The Chinese government considers Taiwan to be a break-away part of China and is determined to bring it under Beijing’s control.  (If Biden wins will probably happen.  Without U.S. protection a done deal.  Taiwan is still old Nationalist China and was never captured by the CCP.)  Should be Taiwan wanting Mainland China back.

POWER & YOUR WORDS,     “WORTH CONSIDERING” 10/19/20,   www.trinity-aloha.org

Today’s Scripture       (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
The tongue has the power of life and death.  (Proverbs 18:21, NIV)
    
Speak to Your Mountain
Words have creative power. They can be very helpful like electricity. Used the right way, electricity powers all kinds of good things. But electricity used the wrong way can harm or even kill you. It’s the same way with our words. Whether we speak positive or negative words, we will reap what we sow. If you’re always speaking words of defeat and failure, you’re going to live in a pretty miserable world. Use your words to change your negative situations and fill them with life.
The Scripture clearly tells us to speak to our mountains. Maybe your mountain is a sickness,  a college debt, or a floundering business. Whatever your mountain is, speak to that obstacle. The Scripture says, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’” Start calling yourself healed, happy, whole, blessed, and prosperous. God is a miracle-working God. Stop talking to God about how big your mountains are and start talking to your mountains about how big your God is!
    
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the creative power that You give my words to change my life. Help me to give my faith a voice by speaking words of life and blessing over myself and my future daily. I declare that You are greater than any mountain I face. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
    
Ken’s Comments,
WELL WORTH CONSIDERING….   As I get older I tend to try to be honest to friends and family as to how I am feeling.   As everyone asks, whether they are interested or not.  As I was leaving a big church service one Sunday the minister, on the way out, with the gentle hand tug to keep me moving… ask me, in a very religious and acceptable way, “How are you really doing today.”   So I let go of his hand and went over and got a fold chair and set it down next to him and began to sit down.  He looked at me rather shocked, and said, “What are you doing?”   And I simply replied, “Well, might take some time?”  And then he realized what he had said and started laughing…..  Like a deer caught in the head lights….   But seriously if we are fighting a physical battle of some kind we need to be quoting what God says as the Truth like Isa.53:5-6 and not those next door.

5 “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.  6 All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.”  Might just enjoy the following link if in a physical battle with the enemy:  https://trinity-aloha.org/keys-to-the-kingdom/power-for-healing/    Scriptures taken from Dodie Osteen’s book, “Healed of Cancer.”  Where she quoted these scriptures and was healed of cancer.
For a copy of her book:   Lakewood Church, P.O. Box 23297, Houston, TX 77228

Our conscious mind, 1/7 is the gateway to our sub conscious mind, 6/7.  And we train our heart mind to agree to what our head mind keeps sending.  So junk in, junk out.  Sowing and Reaping always go hand in hand.  And it is only Heart Faith that secures anything in the Kingdom of God.  Whether it be salvation, new life in Christ, empowering of the Holy Spirit and Spiritual Growth it is all experienced by heart faith.  Read Hebrews 11.   And so what we say about ourselves and others has a great influence in what we will experience and accomplish in life.  And if negative like the Tower of Babel or positive like Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration our faith is for good or bad works in the same way or another.    In fact FEAR is FAITH going backwards.  And the Word of God teaches that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of Love, Power and a Sound Mind.  So actually God really loves us and is for us 100% but HE has to honor our free will. We control the door, Rev.3:20.   Where Jesus is standing outside of HIS own church asking to come in.
 
Things that are holding back from healing us are our lack of love for each other, 1 John 4:13-21.  Our lack of unity in God’s Truth, John 17  Vain church traditions, Mark 7:7.  Paul even wrote about it: 2 Tim.3:1-5.  And James has a few words of advice on healing for us: James 5:12-18
But above all [things], my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath; but let your yes be [a simple] yes, and your no be [a simple] no, so that you may not sin and fall under condemnation.  13 Is anyone among you afflicted (ill-treated, suffering evil)? He should pray. Is anyone glad at heart? He should sing praise [to God].  14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name.  15 And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.  16 Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].  17 Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. 18 And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].  (1 Cor.11:29-31 would also be good to consider.)
