JUDGMENT,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”   10/2/20   From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture     (Across my desk this Friday from a Church in Texas.)
As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
(1 Samuel 18:7, NIV)
   
Join the Dance
King Saul had been happy running his race until David started getting more praise than him. From that moment on, Saul never looked at David the same way and ended up losing his throne over it. What was his problem? He could not handle somebody getting ahead of him. Saul got distracted and spent months and months trying to kill David all because he wasn’t comfortable with who he was.  Maybe like Saul, you’re at the one thousand level but you have a friend who’s at the ten thousand level. The real test to see if God can promote you is: Can you celebrate people who pass you by and stay focused on your race? Can you celebrate what you’ve accomplished? Our attitude should be: “God may have made me to be a one thousand-level person, but I’m going to be the best one thousand-level person you’ve ever seen. I’m going to become all God has created me to be.”
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for the amazing people You have brought into my life, and thank You that You’ve made me amazing as well. Thank You that I am not competing against others but simply running my own race. I celebrate who You have made me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts:
Actually we are told in scripture to judge nothing before the time.  That all judgment really is in the hands of the Lord  Jesus Christ.  The reason is that we are locked in a dimension of time and we have only a limited understanding and perspective.  I made a tract into a paper airplane and gave it to a lovely little girl in Denny’s the other day.   Prayed over it, what happened to is, only God knows.  Could quickly be trashed… or could turn the family towards the LORD.  But much in my life now is done with simple obedience.   As I left my study the Holy Spirit reminded me to take some tracts along.  As I ate breakfast, a man and 9 yr. old girl sat down for a special time together.  The Holy Spirit told me to make a paper airplane of the tract which can really fly pretty good.  And as I left I ask the father if the daughter could have the airplane and he was delighted to have a gift for the daughter.  And her eyes lit up with the expectancy of playing with the little toy.   And I know in the process the tract will start to come apart and that the picture of a lighthouse and the words “Let There Be Light” will flash out and perhaps the tract, all Bible on light, will be considered.  What a nice moment in time.  But what will happen out of it, I will not find out until standing before the LORD and giving an account of my life on earth.  I am having my 4th printing of 1,000 tracts printed now.  Cost about .10 cents each to have printed.  Want some, let me know.

So it really does not matter where I am in the flow of God’s Kingdom.  I am only responsible to use what God has entrusted to my care for HIS GLORY as best as I know how.  That to be 100% committed to living my life in Christ Jesus by the Power of the Holy Spirit.  And that I am not in competition with anyone.  I am unique, one of a kind.  There will never be anyone else like me.  God made me and broke the mold.  I don’t have to measure up to anyone else.  I just need to learn to run at 100% efficiency for Jesus as my LORD.  And to not be weighted down by the stuff or cares of this world unless they are part of what God wants me to carry.   He is looking for kids to love HIM with all their heart and not with one eye on the T.V. or in getting that shiney new car or…..

Life consists not in the abundance of things we posses but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.   As I see it now at 88, I need to set my personal ideals in neutral if I really want the Holy Spirit to be my guide in life.  It is either all God or it is all me.  I want it to be all God…  Jesus made this very clear in His teachings in the Gospels.

Yours in HIS great love and wonderful Grace and Mercy, Ken<>< www.Trinity-Aloha.org

VOICE OF GOD    “WORTH CONSIDERING”      9/30/20,      From Ken<>

Today’s Scripture         (Over my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.  (1 Peter 4:8, NLT)
   
Love Covers
In relationships, we all have disagreements, tension, and stress. When we do, we need to step back and remember that love makes allowances for other people’s weaknesses. Love covers a wrong done to it. You have to rise above these petty things that are pulling you apart. Give people room to have a bad day. When they’re rude, don’t respond. Be an eagle and rise above it. Life is too short for you to live at odds, being contentious, arguing over things that don’t matter. Some people have to have the last word in every argument. Don’t be hardheaded. Let it go. Quit wasting your energy. You have a destiny to fulfill. You have an assignment to accomplish. Those are distractions trying to pull you off course. Zip it up and let the other person be right. You may know they’re wrong, but it doesn’t matter. Don’t waste your valuable time on something that’s not moving you toward your purpose.
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for loving and approving me just as I am. Help me to do the same with others and seek the best for others. I ask You for the deep love that covers offenses and weaknesses so that I can honor You in everything I do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
   
Ken’s Thoughts:
Last night, I could not watch the presidential debate, it was disgusting.  Neither party was a true statesman.  We have come to this?  Of course, as a businessman organizer, I do feel Trump has been the best of the 2 choices allowed to us.  But we, as a nation do need to rise as a eagle and get an overview of God’s vision for our nation.  Obviously, we all know that if we keep drifting the way we have been going that judgment must fall.  At one time most of the Bibles in the world came from America, now most of the porn.  Use to be that we did all we knew how to do to save unborn children.  Now we find that some have been using the living body parts of abortions for experiments with animals. When I was in grade school God was in literature, social studies, English, geography and song and prayer and such.  Even had the 10 commandments by the light switch by the door.  No every vestige of God is being removed from the education of our children and even the parents are called on the carpet if their children are too religious.  And all of this can be changed at the present time at the ballot box.

None of us have it together even though we pretend that we do and can snow most of the people around us most of the time.   But then we need to live with ourselves and we know better.  So it is past time that we get honest with ourselves and God and come clean in humility so we can be healed.  Repent was the beginning message for the Church in Acts in Peter’s first message that converted 3,000 men, heads of families.   To repent for being like Adam is the beginning of life eternal.  Notice what Adam did when he was caught by God with his hand in the cooky jar.  God, you are responsible.  LOOK, it was the poor quality of a woman that you gave me.  She is the one who is responsible.   Of course Eve also had her story.  The serpent was so beautiful, You made him,  he beguiled me.  Blame shifting from the very beginning and we are still knee deep in it every day.

You have a totally free will.  You have every right to do with your life what you please.  In that way you are like God.  Except that God knows better than to sin and is not tempted by the lies of sin.  And HE actually has us spend a life time on earth to be able to figure it out.   Every day we are faced with a so called easy way which usually ends up having strings.  And we are confronted with a God way that sometimes looks difficult but then becomes easy.  Like I have been needing a large window put in the shop.  49″x 64″ and heavy.    After months of trying to get a really good price used or wholesale or CraigsList…  I finally got quiet enough a couple of days ago and heard the LORD simply say, just get the window….  So I called 3 places,  got a price at one store that was ½ that of another, orderd the glass, picked it up this morning and now already installed.  So another item off of my list.  So take the stuff to the LORD, then back off and find a place of peace and listen.  You will be surprised how your list get’s smaller and smaller.  So bottom line it is the better to be able to learn to hear the voice of the LORD and do as HE says regardless of how it looks.  It is better to be right with GOD though all around you feel you are nuts.  “Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it”.  So don’t start something unless you know for sure it is HIS will.  And once you start don’t look back or listen to your so called friends tell you whay it will not work.  I often think of the Noah jokes of the day, that was one big barge with no water.  But the day came and the laughing stopped.  The snatching of the Church from the earth will be like that….  I have written a paper called, “The King is Coming” want a copy, tell me, no charge of course.  Ken<><

MAKING ROOM FOR GOD,   “WORTH CONSIDERING” 9/28/20   From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture         (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!   (Psalm 103:5, NLT)
   
Be Filled with Good Things
The reason some people aren’t young and strong in their spirit and vibrant and passionate about life is that there’s no room for God to fill them with good things. All the space is taken up with negatives. Worry will make you weak. Living stressed out will make you old and take your passion. Being bitter, angry, and resentful will shorten your life.  Is God trying to fill you with joy, confidence, and creativity, but there’s no room? If you empty out the negative, God will have room to fill your life with good things. Instead of hanging on to bitterness after someone does you wrong, say, “God, I forgive them. I let it go.” You didn’t just forgive; you made room for God to give you beauty for ashes. When you empty out worry, you’ll have peace in the midst of the storm. Empty out discouragement, and He’ll fill you with joy. He’ll fill you with good things.
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for the promise that You fill my life with good things. I choose to empty out the worry so You can fill me with peace, to empty out the discouragement so You can fill me with joy. I believe that You will keep me young and strong in spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts,
At 88, the plumbing does not work so good any more so after I got back to my sleeping chair my mind went ballistic with everything that I needed to do today, but it was 4 AM.  It was such a blessing to give it all to our Lord and fall peacefully back to sleep. But back in the saddle again this morning touching base with you.  And some days are like renewed youth even at 88.  But the key of today is, do you really have room for the LORD to be the LORD in your life.  There are many of us that are so full of themselves that there is no room for the Holy Spirit to help at all.

So it is important each evening and each morning to have a clean sweep down of personal objectives.   You need to allow the Holy Spirit time to help organize your day and your night in the peace of Christ Jesus.  In the news today we see Pence our V.P. on the front lines with a bunch of Christians in prayer.  And Trump supporting Prayer to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Many will immediately call foul and rip Trump to shreds as a hypocrite.  Personally, I hope he is catching on as needing to have God’s help in changing himself and changing our Country back to the level of Godly faith that it began with.  And we all need to realize that for the Holy Spirit to fill us, our cup must also be empty of self.  If Jesus is to become our LORD and the center of our lives then we will need to take time to find out what HE has created us to do for HIM and HIS Kingdom.   That we are not our own, we have been purchased from sin and death by the precious sufferings of our LORD.  I was thinking about Mel Gibson and the film “The Passion” yesterday and that I personally can not watch that film but perhaps once a year, if then.   And yet the film was not even close to what Jesus went through to redeem us from the clutches of sin, sickness and death.

So Paul considered himself to be a bond slave of Christ Jesus.  A slave that was given freedom but decided to rather remain as a slave of his master as being a much better way of life than outside.   So today concerns making room for God’s Blessings by doing some house cleaning.  It use to be that after a hard winter there would be spring house cleaning where even the carpets were hung on the clothes line and beaten to get the dirt out from the winter.  And every thing from floor to ceiling was cleaned for the new life of spring.  You would be wise to take inventory and see what you can toss by the Grace of God and with help of the Holy Spirit of negative attitudes.  Like Jesus tells us to love our enemies and do them good.  Paul tells us to pray for those in authority and to be in humility about them as they are there for our best interest.  Perhaps they are what we deserve and not what we want but that is in the hands of God.  Hopefully Amy will get confirmed and this nation’s court will have another look at abortion.  Perhaps God will allow this nation to completely drain the Swamp.  Worth our time to pray about, for sure as we all have many small children growing up in our families.  I have three great great, grandchildren now and over 35 great grandchildren that I would like to have a better chance at life than spending 12 years in schools teaching immorality,  atheism and socialism.  We have allowed this nation to become very decadent, stuff fixated and basically sinful.  We can repent or for sure we will be judged.  And repentance is an individual and very personal thing.  It is a decision to go for the light rather than be dragged along into the darkness of eternity.  The choice is now ours because of Jesus.

“Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” THOMAS PAINE

FREEWILL & PAIN,     “WORTH CONSIDERING” 9/25/20     From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture               (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
“Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! …Matt. 18:7”
   
When Offenses Come
Today’s Scripture says offenses and betrayals will come—loss, bad breaks, things we don’t understand. It’s painful enough when it happens, but if you make the mistake of going around feeding the hurt, feeding the offense, you’re giving life to bitterness, resentment, and discouragement. Don’t feed the self-pity or what didn’t work out. Don’t relive the hurts. You can’t feed your history and feed your destiny at the same time. What’s happened to you is over and done. Quit thinking about how you were raised, what you didn’t get, who hurt you, who you lost—that’s history, that’s behind you. You have to starve the doubts, starve the negative comments people have spoken over you, starve the guilt and condemnation. You can’t go into a new season if you’re always looking back at the old. Now do your part and keep feeding your faith, your hopes, your dreams, and you will step up to a new level and see those dreams come to pass.
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that when I face offenses and hurts that I’m surrounded by Your favor. Thank You that the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter and that my best days are still out in front of me. I believe and declare that You always cause me to triumph. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts:
Number one in my heart understanding is that God is never the cause of any kind of pain.  If I have pain of any kind it is because somewhere I have neglected to put in place the armor of God that Jesus bought for me in HIS death and resurrection.  Some where my shield of faith has a hole in it.  James covers this very well in his short letter.  So pain of any kind give me a heads up that I need to make repairs.  I am missing something somewhere in my spiritual growth and sanctification.  In Romans 8, Paul tells me that I am more than a Conqueror in Christ Jesus.   So as I know the Word of God each truth is like a fiber that when woven together with the many other fibers will keep the enemy out and from giving me pain and then telling me that God did it.  We are falsely taught that God can do anything so HE must be responsible for everything.  And in matter of fact, HE is the Creator of all so it sounds reasonable.  However, we forget that God also gave us an eternal soul and freewill to do as we will.  That HE has given us life on this Earth to decide if we want to live with HIM in Light or be the prime directive of our own life and eat of the tree of good and evil for ourselves.  We have the option of learning by faith in peace and joy or learning by experience for ourselves which can be very painful.  There is an immutable cosmic law of God in effect that we reap what we sow.   Rom. 8, If we sow to the flesh, we will reap corruption (death) But if we sow to the Spirit, we will of the Spirit reap GOD’s LIFE.  In America that is no excuse at all.  You can find Bibles all over the place.  So many that some are even being sold as a place to keep stuff safe because the insides of the pages have been cut out leaving a place to keep things safe.  Of course the pages to really keep you safe have been discarded.  Some churches are like that as well.

So upon our graduation from the school of life we will be called upon for show and tell as to what we did with our life.  Our words and actions will be matched up.  What we have told our children to do will be matched with what we have done.   The Good that we know will be matched with the actions of our lives in what we have done.  As I have been teaching Bible for a lot of years now, it really helps keep me on my best to know this.  And of course there is a learning curve of God’s Grace if headed for HIS Light.   But Hebrews 6 shares with us that we can know it all and still decide to go south and find it impossible to find restoration or redemption.  So one of the things God will not do is to make you do something.  He does not use manipulation, threat or bribe.   But the darkness will use it all to keep you in eternal darkness.       I have a book available to help you get an excellent foundation, on line, no charge, just ask for it.

IMPRACTICAL   FAITH     “WORTH CONSIDERING”   9/22/20      From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture          (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
“Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.  (Matthew 14:29, NLT)
   
It’s in the Unknown
When Jesus came walking across the stormy sea in the darkness of night, Peter was the only disciple who had the courage to walk on the water to Him. One can imagine the other disciples saying, “It’s too dangerous! Don’t go!” But when Jesus told him to come, Peter stepped out into the unknown and walked on water. He didn’t let what was familiar and comfortable in his life keep him from getting out of the boat and becoming who he was created to be.   You can’t play it safe your whole life and reach the fullness of your destiny. What God has in store for your future is going to boggle your mind—the places He wants to take you, the people you’re going to influence, the dreams you’re going to accomplish. Don’t let the what-ifs talk you out of it. “What if I fail? What if they say no?” You’ll never know unless you try—it’s in the unknown.
   
A Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that the stormy seas and waves of my life are no problem for You. I choose to obey You quickly. Help me not to over think things, but trust Your leading in my life. I declare that I am willing to step out of my comfort zone. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts:
Got to smile at that one today as one time early in my Christian walk I did muster up all of my faith and stepped out on the water… and just got wet.  Problem was, Jesus had not asked me to do it.   But in another situation a super nutty Christian brother drove from Eureka, to Eugene to tell me about 7 acres that was for sale on Table Bluff about 10 miles south of Eureka.  So by faith I went with him to see the place.  It was about 7 building some as old as WW1 and all falling apart.  The water system was full of very small water shrimp and all of the building were full of hippie squatters.  The owner was concerned for his life.  I bought the spread, hippies and all for 38K.   Went back to Eugene, packed up and move into a duplex with a bad roof, the only vacancy with a bunch of Christians.  I look back on that and wonder, how did I ever decide to do that.  As it turned out the LORD told me just to mind my own business and to begin cleaning up the place and not to try to evict anyone.  Rented a tar kettle and put a new roof on the duplex.  And spent time with the LORD in getting the food together for us and the hungry.  We did not know this at the time but one of the hippies had a brother who was a member of the Bakersfield’s Hell’s Angels.  And he had ask him to bring the chapter up to Eureka to the Lighthouse to scare us out of living there.   At the time I were out getting groceries as the club was on the way.   In Fortuna the club was spotted by the local police and got permission to tag along as see what they were up to.  So just before I returned to Lighthouse Ranch the Chapter had arrived, picked out the wrong building which happened to be where the Warlock had a coven and threw an axe though the window and started to beat up on them thinking they were the Christians.  While this was going on the police car pulled in the driveway and me behind him.   He ask what I would like him to do and I ask him to just wait a bit.  So he got out his 12 Gage turned on the lights and sit on his fender.  Me and another guy went over to talk to the Hell’s Angels.  They were rather subdued by this time as they knew that back up was on the way.  So with bible in hand and the police at my back I sauntered over and ask how I could be of help.  The leader said one of the bikes was busted and needed a part, could they stay there till they all could leave together.  I said sure and walked back to the duplex and police.   Well about that time the cold winter sea winds came in and it started raining.  Those drowned shivering Angels set there from dusk to 3 AM before the part arrived.  There was no room with us in the duplex and there was no invitation from the hippies.  Where they were parked was about 500 feet from the road.  On one side of that driveway was a 5 strand barb wire fence that Leon had created that you could play a tune on.  Leon was the guy that tuned me into buying the place.  On the other side of the drive way was an acre of busted cars that we called the boneyard.  As it seems the Lord would hold their wheels together until they got to Lighthouse Ranch and then they would fall apart.   Well the Angels got the bike fixed all packed up and revved their hogs like thunder and took off lickety split down that driveway out of there.   But at the same time Leon was coming in with his big Helms Bread Truck that took 8 feet + big mirrors out of the single driveway.  And on the front of the truck was painted in black runny letters really big: “REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND,” So all 18 bike lights lite up that truck, Leon could not see so just stopped and you could hear the leather ripping and bikers moaning as they tried to get around the truck either by the fence or through the bone yard.  I have been laughing at that spanking from the Lord now for many years.   And I sort of feel like I got to walk on water for a little bit there.  And none of the fruit of Lighthouse Ranch would have come to pass if I had been at all rational.  It was a really dumb thing to do.  Not at all logical. Could have spent a mint on building repairs and been killed.    But we saw the Lord save hundreds of kids at that old beat up light house station in 1970.  That night seem to turn the tide and broke the log jam and the Hippies began to leave.  All were gone in about a month after that spanking of the LORD.  And the Lord filled up the place with kids looking for God’s Light and Truth.  And ended in becoming Gospel Outreach which brought many to Christ in the 70’s.

And frankly I was just a spectator and a winner because I was on the Lord’s side.  Except for Jesus I could have very easily been on the other side.   But you will never walk on the water with Jesus, unless you are willing to get out of your comfortable little boat.
