DREAMS & VISIONS      “WORTH CONSIDERING”   5/14/19    (Across my desk on 5/13/19

Today’s Scripture
“And He who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new…”
(Revelation 21:5, AMPC)

He Makes All Things New
When God puts a dream in your heart, when He puts a promise on the inside, He deposits within you everything you need to accomplish that dream. He wouldn’t give you the desire to do something without giving you the ability to fulfill it. In fact, the Scripture tells us that God gives us the desires of our heart. In other words, He puts the desire inside of us and then works with us to bring it to pass. Oftentimes people set out to accomplish their dreams, but they face a setback or disappointment, and then they feel as though their time has passed. But know today that no matter where you’ve come from, no matter what’s happened in your past, God wants to make you new. He wants to give you a “do over,” a fresh start. If you feel like you’ve missed opportunities in your life, if you feel like your time has passed, remember that today is a new day. You are a new person, and God has new opportunities in store for you. If one dream has died, it’s time to dream a new dream. He makes all things new in your life today!

A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, thank You for making all things new. I give You this day and invite You to have Your way in every area of my life. I choose to receive all the promises You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen”

My Thoughts:
While it is true that HE who hath began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Christ Jesus, Phil. 1:6,  we still must be walking out our dreams and visions in faith.  I would rather put it this way that our Creator reveals the Good News dreams and visions to us through His Word and Church as to what HE would like to do with and for us.  But then it is up to us to buy into that Dream or Vision with heart faith.  It is up to us to seek and receive faith to believe the Gospel and put our heart, feet and hands into it.  There is always a place for a new start if we get off the track with repentance and faith.  But it is not automatic,  1 John 1:9-10.  We are in a partnership with us being the Jr. partner.  Jesus put’s it this way,  “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,  ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  John 15:7”  (Always take note of that little conditional word “IF”)  So ” if” we really learn to live in Jesus and know HIS WORDS in our heart, then it works,  right?  Then our prayers receive what we ask for,  John 16:16  and if not the we may need to check James 4:3:   Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  There is absolutely no manipulating GOD to get anything that our flesh might cry out for.

I have met a lot of wonderful Christians but I could count on one hand those who could qualify as to living completely in Jesus and having a heart faith for all HIS WORDS.  I am 86 and still working on getting that together myself.  And these “Worth Considering” notes are really very good for me.  It is like the Holy Spirit shines GOD light way up ahead to give us a vision but we are not really there yet.  But we get a vision of where we want to be.   So we are working on these dreams and visions together unless you have been hitting the delete button.    Sorry to say but most of who I know are not even sure of what the commandments of Christ Jesus are and as yet are far from being found in humility and obedience.  In John 17:20-26 our Lord prays for us that we will help each other.

And if you take the time to read Rev. 21 it is the Prophesy of Christ Jesus that happens after the 1,000 year earthly Kingdom of Christ Jesus.   It is the Prophesy concerning GOD, The Eternal Father, making a total end of all corruption on earth and making a new heavens and a new earth.  HE then gathers HIS forever family together in a totally righteous new Kingdom.   You will not want to miss this.  The former things and time will be no more.   

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

CHURCH  TODAY.   “WORTH CONSIDERING”    5/12/19   (Long but worth the time.) 

Rick Joyner: The Church as We Know It in the West Is About to Die
 5/10/2019 Rick Joyner   

The church as we perceive it in the West is about to die. This is not something to rejoice over. Even though it may be far from the church that Jesus will build, it has accomplished much and will die in honor. It is a parallel of the life of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, who died when Benjamin was born. Benjamin was the last son born to Israel and represents the last sons of God to be born on the earth. Benjamin means “the son of the right hand,” and the right hand of God is called “the right hand of power.” Like Rachel, the church will give birth to the “son of His right hand,” but it will take her life. So this means she will have been a mother to the last-day ministry, and we honor our fathers and mothers.

The Reformation helped the church dig its way out of a deep darkness, but even as far as Christianity has advanced over the last 500 years, we have much further to go. This does not mean it will take another 500 years. As we are told in 2 Peter 3:8, “But, beloved, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” This means He could do in one day what we think will take a thousand years.

It probably will not happen that fast, but everything is speeding up. However, what will happen will not happen through the continued reformation of the present model of the church. There is a new breed of ministry about to be released. It will be a people who walk in radical, revolutionary faith and power. This is such a new wine that the old model cannot contain it. For this reason we should not despair when the old model dies, but rightfully honor the Rachel that carried and given birth to the new breed.

Likewise, a new breed of radical, revolutionary patriot will arise in America, and not just America—in nations around the world. God established the nations and gave them boundaries. He said anyone who moved the ancient boundaries would be cursed. That’s because He wants the nations preserved. Again, God’s unity is a unity of diversity, not a unity of conformity that earthly men are trying to impose on the world. God’s unity will prevail, and patriotism is going to win around the world. In this way the heritage and inheritances will be preserved, national and cultural identities will be preserved and the great unity of diversity will be possible.

Once we see our purpose, we can see how the church in America has deviated from its calling and how the same thing has happened in our civil government. “We the people” are the ones who are primarily responsible for this because here, the people are the sovereign. The government of the republic is designed to be subject to us. The primary blame for having our authority usurped lies ultimately with us for allowing it to happen. The people will also be the ones who wake up and recover what has been lost.

This is a prophecy of what is coming, but it is also a forensic study of what went wrong so we can correct it and don’t keep making the same mistakes. If we do not understand this, we will fall again, because what caused the fall has not been corrected. Just as Spurgeon once said that he could find 10 men who would die for the Bible for every one who would read it, we too can find many who would die for the Constitution. Far more may have died for it than have read it.

As I shared before, our ministry lawyer took constitutional law in law school, and the class never once referred to the Constitution. The entire course was spent studying Supreme Court decisions, obviously under the delusion that the Supreme Court was the supreme law of the land and that anything it would do must be constitutional. Those who claim to be “constitutional lawyers” can be the most ignorant of what is actually in the Constitution. When a politician today says something is constitutional, you can almost be sure that it is not. When they claim something is not constitutional, you can almost be sure it is.

That is how twisted things have become and why the Lord’s first warning about these times was, “Do not be deceived.” Deception is far more common than truth today. This is why things reported in the media are now more likely to be false or at least distorted. Why is this? You can also now count on the same from most of the pulpits in the American church. The message of the typical American church today would be unrecognizable to the apostles of the first century.

The disconnect from truth has come the same way in the media that it has in the church. Of course, this is not true in every church or the entire media. It’s easy to see in the media how there is now a tendency to report what they want to be true rather than what is true. Is that not how we have changed the gospel, the church and even our concept of God into what we want them to be rather than how they are?

One of the basic characteristics of true humility is being teachable and responsive enough to change or to expand our concepts and beliefs. This too is repentance, and it is coming.

Rick Joyner is the founder and executive director of MorningStar Ministries and Heritage International Ministries and is the senior pastor of Morning Star Fellowship Church. He is the author of more than 40 books, including The Final Quest, A Prophetic History and Church History. He is also the president of The OAK Initiative, an interdenominational movement that is mobilizing thousands of Christians to be engaged in the great issues of our times, being the salt and light that they are called to be.

Any message like this needs to be filtered through the WORD OF GOD,  Carefully…  But I felt there was much TRUTH presented here so felt to send it along for your consideration and comments.   Be Blessed in your Day,   Ken<><    www.Trinity-Aloha.org   (Past Posts for “Worth Considering” are all available  through our Home Page.)

SALVATION,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”   5/10/19   (Across my desk this morning from Joel and very good.)

Today’s Scripture
“…work out your own salvation…”  (Philippians 2:12, NKJV)

Work Out Your Salvation
When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, some things will change in you immediately, and other things will be worked out over time. You may have addictions or sickness that you are instantly freed from, but yet, you may have wrong attitudes or other areas that are still in the process of changing. That’s because God is doing both a work in you and a work with you. He reveals His power to us and then gives us the opportunity to work with Him in the process of restoring and renewing our lives. You work out your salvation by obeying His Word and surrendering every area of your life to Him. You are working out your salvation when you choose to do the right thing, even when it’s difficult. You are working out your salvation when you stand strong and resist temptation. Remember, God is the one at work in you to give you the power to work out your salvation. He’s empowered you to overcome every obstacle! Keep dealing with the issues He brings up and keep a good attitude, fighting through until you win the victory!

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the work You are doing in my life. I choose to work with You so that I can live the life of victory You have prepared. Help me to be an example of Your love and faithfulness. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

My Thoughts:
Actually Philippians 2:12 goes like this in the Amplified Bible:  ¹² So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ].

(fear here =  Holy Reverence or Great Respect)

Actually Paul here is supporting the fact that Salvation and Sanctification are a process that you began when you make Jesus LORD (ruler, king) of your life and trust HIM to forgive your sins.  The working out of this over your life time is called Sanctification or to be made HOLY.  If you have began a walk towards being like Jesus don’t get side tracked on a dead end some place and loose out.  Salvation is never a matter of “GOOD WORKS”  but if you are really saved,  that faith that brought you into salvation will also produce a change in your life into good works out of pure love for Christ Jesus as LORD.  The Holy Scriptures are the Guide Book for finding Heaven and Eternity with God.   It is our map and compass for faith, love and righteousness.  Like a good road map it is much needed as we walk through this corrupted world.  God entrusted the world to Adam,  Adam got coned out of it by lucifer,  Jesus called lucifer the god of this world and came to buy it back and give us all the opportunity of redemption.  “But straight it the way and narrow is the way to eternal life and few there be that find it.”  If you are on the “WAY” with the Holy Spirit you are indeed blessed.  But take care to keep on the “WAY” as there are many many detours all along the way that look much easier in the beginning but in the end lead a soul into the darkest of darkness and being totally alone for eternity without a body.  So choose the light and walk it out every day in Christ Jesus as LORD and you will be GOOD.  (SAVED,  REDEEMED.)

Please pray for our little fire starting gathering house church tonight.

FREEDOM,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”     5/9/19    (Across my desk this morning.)

Today’s Scripture
“Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains.”  (Colossians 4:3, NLT)

Put It Into Action
Paul was writing these words while he was in chains in prison. He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted “limitations,” but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next. Since he couldn’t go out and speak publicly, Paul thought, “No problem. I’ll start writing.” He wrote book after book, almost half of the books of the New Testament, much of it from a prison cell. They thought they were stopping him, but they were doing just the opposite, causing his voice to become amplified. Here we are some 2,000 years later, and we still feel Paul’s influence. When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you’re in chains, remember, God is still at work in your life. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Pray for opportunities to be opened to you. The prayer of the righteous avails much, so keep praying because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.

A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You’ve planted in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen”

My Thoughts:
Even in a Roman Jail, Paul used his freedom to great advantage.  Personally, I even found Christ through Paul’s words in 1 Cor. 3:11-15 in understanding the Divine logic of how that salvation was by faith in the foundation of Christ Jesus and not the works of my hands or in my own life.  Even today a great many souls are betting to go to heaven because they are “GOOD PEOPLE”  But in the Book of Romans one of the first things that Paul shares with us is that this is not true:  Romans:3:22-34:   Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  ²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.   And Jesus confirmed this in John 14:6:   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

(By the way, that word believe in the Greek means:  To trust in, rely upon and cling to.)

So this was the message that Paul was most concerned that all could understand and be saved.   This is the same message that Christ Jesus gave us in HIS ministry for over 3 years.   So in Paul’s very limited Freedom in prison he got the message to me in 1955,  and it has been changing my life from that time to this to become sanctified and made ready for GOD’s presence in Heaven and for Eternity.   Of course, it seems that I must have needed more time for this transition as I am now 86 and even past the actuary tables.  Not many now in the Obits that are older than me.  But still working on the vision to become like Jesus.  Still get messed up in the details from time to time.  But get forgiven and the vision is still there bright and shiny with the freedom that I have left.   And I want to take along with me as many souls as I can as the trip has already been paid for.  But in order to go you have to leave the earth’s darkness and gravity with it’s lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life.  Can not stay and go at the same time.

HEAVEN,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”    5/7/19    (Across my desk this morning…. )

Today’s Scripture:
The Holy Writings say, “No eye has ever seen or no ear has ever heard or no mind has ever thought of the wonderful things God has made ready for those who love Him.” God has shown these things to us through His Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit Who looks into all things, even the secrets of God, and shows them to us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9–10, NLV)

God’s Deep Secrets :
Who do you share your deepest secrets with? Most people only share their inner thoughts with those who are closest to them. People they trust. People they’ve gone through experiences with. Do you know who God shares His secrets with? This Scripture says “to us.” As believers, God’s Spirit lives inside of us, revealing to us the heart and thoughts of God Himself. God wants you to know what He thinks about you. He wants you to know about the plans He has for you. He wants to show you things you’ve never seen, heard about or even imagined. You are His child, and you are also His friend. He wants to walk with you, talk with you, and share with you. What a wonderful, amazing thought—we can know God’s thoughts because we are one with Him. Open your heart and allow Him to share His deep secrets with you today.

A Prayer for Today :
“Father in heaven, I am so humbled that You call me friend. I am honored to be connected with You and invite You to share Your heart with me. I surrender all that I am to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

My Thoughts:
In yesterday’s,  West Hawaii Today, on the front page there was the obituary of a very good and long time friend of mine who died at 71,  Bob Kitchen  (Robert Thomas.)   Bob could make the ocean waves come alive and dance on canvas.  And I know that beyond a shadow of doubt that he is with the LORD in HEAVEN.  When I met Bob back in the early 70’s he was doing metal sculpturing on a stone wall down in Kailua Kona….  He was working on a demonic looking head peace that was absolutely full of evil.  We talked and enjoyed each other,  he asked a lot of questions and later he decided to go with Jesus as his LORD.  First thing he did was cut up that head peace and we took it down to the then Hilton Hotel and threw it off into the ocean at the point of the bay.   And then the battle raged between the Holy Spirit now in Bob and his old flesh of past years.  But out of it God Won and we got Robert Thomas in great love and the wonderful paintings of the creation of God.  And through Bob’s eyes we saw the creation in a new way.  And my bottom line is that if Bob could not find an end to the beauty of God’s creation then heaven is worth  all that it takes to get there.  That if GOD is going to trash this world at the end of time to make something righteous and better and has invited us all to come and enjoy it,  I sure want to be there.  And even more than that,  to become HIS real family in a new young eternal body,  that is a total winner.   But our Creator has left very careful instruction on how to find Heaven in a big book that most of us now use for a paper weight.  So may I suggest that you dust it off and start in with reading John, Acts and Romans.   And if you have any questions to please send them along,  I would love to give you a hand,  as also other others gave me a hand back in 1955.  If you really are interested in going to Heaven, then you do really, really need to read, ingest and follow the instructions.  Christ Jesus told us that most would get tangled up in the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of this world and miss out.  That only a very few would find their way into HIS Kingdom.  So you really need to decide now as to finding and observing the directions or you could miss out.  I am so very gland that I know that Bob Kitchen took the time to read the road map and to follow it specifically all of the days that I knew him for a half  century.  The Scriptures not only changed him into being like Jesus but also gave him the “Keys To GOD Kingdom.”

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<><    www.Trinity-Aloha.org   (“Worth Considering” is a link on my home page with lots of help if you are interested in living with GOD throughout eternity.)
