Please know we are deeply grateful for your visit to Fruit of The Earth. 

 We pray you have received 
a personal touch from the LORD 
while you were here!

Hear My Cry, O' LORD!

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?


                                                                   Remember Beloved, 
                                               IN THE END, nothing else really matters...Jesus is the Alpha and                                                      the Omega: the Beginning and the End.  And He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!

      Beloved, If Christ is not shining His light through you, into our very dark and troubled world, it is the fervent prayer of this Ministry, that your visit here will change that situation now!  Before I was a pastor, I was a Pastor-Certified Altar Worker, and it is, at once, my greatest - and most-humbling - honor in life, to lead others to Christ.

In the following lines, I have provided you with the only steps you will ever need to become "saved" - literally, re-born of the Spirit of God - For you have not received the spirit of bondage again, (Satan/flesh/the world) unto fear; but you have received the (Holy) Spirit of adoption, through Whom, we now cry, Abba (literally, Daddy!), Father, as sons and daughters of the Living God, unto freedom! (from Romans 8:15)  Hallelujah!  And I will do my level best to take the Word of God, which means the Word from God, and explain it all to you as we go along.

 "For by grace, are you saved, through faith; and that, not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."   Ephesians 2:8 

*Hear me, Beloved!   Good works will not save you! - howeverfaith without good works, is dead faith.  In other words, good works are the fruit / the proof, one bears when one becomes saved, or redeemed - bought back for Father God, by Jesus' Blood - for then,  Jesus lives in us (via His Holy Spirit) and through us (by using us as vessels or instruments, with which to continue to perform His work on earth!  You were CREATED for a very SPECIFIC PURPOSE!  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which [Father] God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in [fulfill] them."  Ephesians 2:10

 "Not by (human) might nor by (human) power, but by My Spirit," saith the LORD of hosts. 

 Jesus seeks us out through His Spirit, Beloved!  Father God's heart is, that none should perish!  He sent His Only Begotten Son, to save that which was lost!  That's US, Beloved!   Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit.  If you are actively seeking the Truth, Jesus promises you will find it: And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.  For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.  St. Luke 11:9-10 

Therefore, when you do find Truth, you will no longer deny it when you hear it... for you will recognize it as Truth, and you will believe.  

My personal challenge to you:  ASK JESUS TO SHOW YOU HE IS REAL.

"But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren; beloved of the LORD, because God hath from the beginning, chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth." 2 Thessalonians 2:13

A: ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER ( WE ALL ARE!  "FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE 
GLORY OF GOD" ROMANS 3:23 ) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR SINS HAVE ALIENATED YOU FROM A
 PURE AND PERFECTLY JUST GOD.   Have you ever asked yourself...Why would I want a God, who is no better than a mere man!?
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT SECTION OF THE HOLY BIBLE, PLEASE READ ROMANS 3:23; 6:23

B: BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD, AND THAT HE DIED
 ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS, WAS DEAD AND BURIED, AND ON THE THIRD DAY WAS BODILY RAISED FROM THE GRAVE FOR YOUR PARDON!  THANK YOU, LORD!  Either you do or you don't.  If you do believe, you may be weeping now, to have your Saviour come rescue you out of your horrible sinful condition..and set you on Higher Ground; make you a completely new creature, wash you in His Blood, and make you CLEAN AND WHOLE!
PLEASE READ ROMANS 5:8; II CORINTHIANS 5:21; ROMANS 4:25

C: CONFESS    SPEAK ALOUD YOUR SINS TO FATHER GOD AND DECLARE THE BELIEF THAT IS NOW IN YOUR HEART CONCERNING HIS SON'S DEATH AND RESURRECTION..  WELCOME JESUS INTO YOUR HEART, AND SURRENDER COMPLETE CONTROL TO HIM.  This is how to begin your RELATIONSHIP.  Talk to Him, read what His Word (the Holy Bible) has to say about Him.  Begin to live the way He asks you to... Jesus changes us, through the power of His holy and resurrected Spirit, from the inside.. out!    
PLEASE READ ROMANS 10:9 & 10; I JOHN 1:9

HALLELUJAH!  THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN ARE REJOICING!
"For I say unto you, that likewise, the joy that shall be in heaven over one sinner who repents, is more joy, than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance!"  Luke 15:7 

COMMIT TO REPENTANCE, WHICH IS SIMPLY RE-THINKING YOUR OWN WAYS AND YOUR OWN BELIEFS; AND CHANGING YOUR MIND, TO ACCEPT AND AGREE WITH WHAT GOD SAYS, INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU  (OR MAN) THINKS!  REMEMBER WHAT I TAUGHT YOU..."UNDERSTANDING BEGINS, WHEN YOU TAKE HIM...AT HIS WORD!" 

 FEAST ON HIS WORD (THE SCRIPTURES) EVERY DAY!   DEVELOP YOUR OWN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH LORD JESUS - THEN YOU, TOO, WILL EXPERIENCE OVERFLOWING JOY!   AND THEN... YOU, TOO, WILL GO AND TELL OTHERS, HOW HIS MARVELOUS LOVE HAS SAVED YOU!

IF YOU HAVE JUST RECEIVED CHRIST AS YOUR OWN PERSONAL SAVIOUR, PLEASE EMAIL ME, SO I MAY REJOICE WITH YOU AND PRAY WITH YOU TO RECEIVE THE FIRE BAPTISM ALSO!   JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO LINGER..AND WAIT FOR THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST TO COME UPON THEM, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE INDWELLING OR THE SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THE BAPTISM OF HOLY FIRE IS WHAT EMPOWERS US TO CONTINUE CHRIST'S MINISTRY OF MIRACLES ON EARTH!  IT IS LITERALLY, HOLY FIRE POWER!!!  JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS FOR YOU, BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

Oh my Beloved,  I have not come to shame you or condemn you... I have come to offer you the same joy & freedom I myself have found in Christ Jesus!  You see, we cannot be made whole, until we return spiritually, to the One Who created us!  God is Spirit.  Our "spirit-man or spirit-woman" must re-connect to Him - through Jesus - so that we might be saved!

 The empty, gnawing in your soul (heart, mind & emotions), will not be quieted, until you are re- born, in your spirit.  But once you ask Jesus to restore you to the relationship with our Heavenly Father, that we were created to have - then,  He will give you peace that passes all understanding!  I promise you, this is true.

Do YOU have JESUS as YOUR SURE FOUNDATION?


Rhonda S. Galizia 
Scribe Unto The LORD


Father GOD, 



I whisper a prayer of praise and adoration...and I ask You to lovingly lead the sheep who have gone astray, back into the Fold, where they may once again enjoy ..the safety and peaceful beauty of Jesus, their Resting Place.

For those sheep who have been taken captive by the worldly shepherds... I whisper a prayer for their Salvation, Father.  That today be the day, that they come to the Tender Shepherd, who is Your Son, Jesus Christ, and simply confess that they have become separated from You because of their sins ( any impure airs, attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, customs, traditions, inventions, imaginations, words, deeds, thoughts, motivations, and intentions) and I pray they receive Jesus' death on the Cross, as payment for their sin, and Father, that they may know beyond a doubt, that His shed Blood was not in vain.  

Then, may they joyfully go out, filled with His love and tell the world ...about Jesus, their Resting Place!

In Jesus' Precious name, I pray these things,
Amen & Amen.



"The LORD is our Sanctuary" 
Jesus is our safe-place, our Resting Place in this world. 
But His Sanctuary is in our hearts!   
You are His temple, which He has sanctified, or set aside, for Eternity!

"A Teaching Book Unlike Any Other On Earth!"
FRUIT OF THE EARTH

Sadly, many people
 never accept their salvation, 
because they believe their lives 
have to be "cleaned up" first..  
Before they are worthy to accept Christ. 
 Or, like myself, some have believed
 that they have to accomplish some "big" feat
 to be acceptable to the LORD.

But I assure you, neither view is correct.
Jesus did it all: HE received your punishment
 at the Cross already.. and HE will "clean you up", too!
Because He Loves You.

You are not here by accident.
The Holy Spirit has drawn you to this place,
so that you might receive the gift 
of your eternal salvation.

Do not commit the unforgivable sin
by attributing His power to someone/something else.
by denying that it is through the 
power of the Holy Spirit [aka Holy Ghost]
that your regeneration must take place.

Please Understand: If you deny the Holy Ghost, 
you deny Christ, and in doing so,
Jesus cannot save you.



FoTE QUOTE:
Re: Opposing beliefs

"While most brothers & sisters in Christ are usually not caustic in the way they present their faith, it can still become very tense at times.

I never allow it to divide us though - I tell them, let us focus on the Truths we share, rather than the differences which separate us.

Doing this robs Satan of his thunder!

  After all, the Bible says that love - and GOD IS LOVE - covers a multitude of sins.. He did it via the Cross, the Leveler of all Mankind!"              
                                                                                ~ Rev R S Galizia


Why I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy 
shall be forgiven to men: but [except] the blasphemy 
against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men.
~ Jesus, in St. Matthew 12:31
Rejecting the Cross

Forgive me, LORD  Jesus!,  my heart doth cry 
Forgive me that ...  Which has caused You...  to die! 

Forgive me, Holy Father,  for breaking Your  heart 
For reminding Your  Son..  of the sin...  on my part. 

Every time that I ... choose..  not... to believe 
That it's Your  Holy Spirit...  that I grieve! 

For each time that  I  repeat  ...an heavenly offense 
Forces Jesus to recall...  it was at...  His  expense. 



Then, when I finally rise, from off my own knees 
Having heartily embraced The Holy One's pleas, 

I rush right out  into, this embittered world 
While shouting with zeal, "Come and hear what I've heard!" 

I rush to the rooftop and raise up my voice 
Prayerful that my words...   might influence...   their choice

But alas, my heart...   is being forced to confess 
That although I have tried, and I have  done my best 

I am not needed...  or even welcomed...  there 
For those people are the ones...  who would not  hear.




And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, 
when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet
 for a testimony against them.   Verily I say unto you, 
It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah
 in the day of  judgment, than for that city.
St. Mark 6:11

Absolute Truth




Truth is exclusive.
Truth can only be one way, 
yea, or nay.

Of all the religions in the world,
 Jesus Christ is the only one who claimed to be GOD.. 
and then, willingly died, to prove it.

Christianity is not a religion.  
It is a relationship, with Christ.

Christianity is a walk, a journey -
with a definite beginning,


and a definite end...
Eternal life.


Jesus, Himself, has told us,
Once you are Mine, 
NO ONE 
can remove you 
from Me.
Your name
is carved
in the palm
of My hand.

Do you know the Truth... absolutely?










"Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, 
I have called thee by name, thou art mine."  
 Isaiah 43:1

 "I will not forget thee:  
Behold, I have engraved your name 
onto the palm of my hand." 
Isaiah 49:16

Thousands of years ago, these words were recorded 
by the prophet Isaiah, in the Old Testament.

Just over two thousand years ago,
they were literally fulfilled
by Jesus Christ as He hung
upon that crude and vicious 
Cross.

When the Roman soldiers pounded those "nails"
(which were more like railroad spikes!)
 into His hands and feet, the blood that flowed
is the same blood that was sacrificed for our sins.
To be washed clean...  there is no other way.
Nay, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Repeatedly, the Scriptures tell us exactly this same thing.

 "As far as the east is from the west, 
so far hath He removed
 our transgressions from us." 
 Psalm 103:12 

 "This I recall to my mind. Therefore, I have hope.
It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:23 

Almighty God does not hold grudges against us.
Nor does He look down on us because of our past. 
When He forgives, it is utterly forgiven.

 "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy sins;
Return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee."
Isaiah 44:22

'I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions 
for mine Own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah 43:25

Who Killed the Son Of GOD?

Was it Pilate?  Was it the Jews?

Or was it 
you and me?

TRUTH IS..
It pleased the Father to do so..
It was His Plan of Redemption!
But it is everyone's sin that caused Him to have to do it.
And yet, no one took Christ's life.
He laid it down of His own accord, and took it back up again the third day, to pay our debt, so we could come back to the Father, 
through Him, and His act of Love..

ARE YOUR SINS
BLOTTED OUT
BY HIS BLOOD?
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost
 Titus 3:5
​MORE FROM MY EVANGELIST DAUGHTER, 
ANNA-MARIE LONG, A SENIOR AT LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
An archaeological dig is very much like the Omnipotent God weeding out our hearts. The archaeologist unearths great mysteries of the past which bring great rewards for the future. God, our Healer, exposes the great hurts of our past which produces deliverance resulting in freedom in our future. Both the archaeologist and God, our Master, recover precious treasures. Archaeologists spend endless hours excavating the center of the earthly regions, as where our Merciful God spends eternal moments revealing the center of our spirit man. 

Dr. Elmer Towns has given us food for thought: 
'According to the Bible, the heart is the centre: the centre of memory, the centre of mercy, the centre of damnation and of salvation, the centre of God’s working and the centre of the devil’s working, the centre from which every thing works which moulds the human mechanism.' 

The findings of the archaeologist assume that things could have been, but the findings of the Creator prove that the ending is in sight because there was a beginning.
The heart is said to be "the seat of emotions and the storehouse of knowledge.” Just as prize pieces were buried by people of different nations many centuries and millennia ago, so have people buried their brokenness and bruises - leaving them in the graveyards of one’s life and mind.  [It is written] “What a man thinks, so is he.”

Bloody Hands

On the road to Emmaus the disciples didn‘t recognize Jesus, but their hearts burned within them. 
 Later, inside, they did “know Him” because Jesus opened His hands when He blessed and broke the bread, and then, of course, they 
saw the spike marks on His palms from the Crucifixion!

  Does this sound familiar to you, Beloved?

You know in your heart, that you are living a messed-up life.   You want to change, and do better.  So you start out with a strong determination to do just that.  However, after only a month or two, you seem to be right back in the same situation - or even worse.  Thinking and saying things that are unclean and doing things you know you would be ashamed of if anyone knew.  

Well, Someone already does know.  He knows all your thoughts and intents - and well, everything there is to know about you!

Who is it? you ask, terrified.
Your Creator, I answer.  And He loves you, even so.

I know that is hard to fathom, but it's true.
And since He created you and He alone, knows you inside and out.. He alone, is also the Only One who can help you to change. He loves you so much, that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, to do just that.

But, believe it or not, some people prefer to stay in bondage to sickness, illness, disease, obsessions and addictions - because they would rather feel "safe" with the infirm or unclean familiar spirit, than face the changes they must make, when the LORD comes to cleanse, heal and deliver them!

 Isn't it time for a permanent change?
In April of 1992, the LORD gave me a Vision and Called me to Ministry ("HE Writes the Words on My Heart!")
He named me as His Scribe, and then assigned me my ministry verse, St. Matthew 13:52:
Jesus told them, 
"Therefore,  
every scribe appointed 
unto the kingdom of Heaven 
is like the head of a household, 
who brings out of his treasure, 
things both old and new."  

"HE Writes..." went online in 2005.  Father GOD told me I was going to become a "Degreed Counselor".  I studied for Board Certification in Biblical Counseling and Certification in Child Advocacy with AACC, and received it in 2008. On September 9th of 2008, I became a Fully Ordained minister through Trinity Evangelical, then enrolled at TECU for my Associate's Degree.

In 2010, the LORD had me close down "HE Writes.." Online, and then re-open - this time, as Fruit of The Earth, The Counseling Branch of "HE Writes..."  On February 12, 2013 I graduated with a 3.86 (ALL GLORY TO GOD!) and became an Associate in Counseling of Trinity Evangelical Christian University, and am currently studying for my Bachelor's in Pastoral Counseling & Psychology.

He is a man of great faith.


Please pray for the armies of the LORD to surround him and his 9 men, to give them victory, and then to return them all safely to their wives and children,  and other loved ones,
 in Jesus' Name, AMEN.

UPDATE:  He just returned home
safely and wholly to his own family, praise be to Jesus - and thank you for your prayers, Beloved!

​A Call to Prayer


I exhort you therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
 
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
 
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

 
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

 Whereunto I am 
ordained a preacher, 
and an apostle, 
(I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles
 in faith and verity.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1 Timothy 2:1-8

If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray 
and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,
 then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
Before You Go...
            16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain  shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
                                       -Thessalonian 4:16-18
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.  - Genesis 6:11-13
And as it was in the days of Noe [Noah] , so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.  - St. Mark 17: 26-30



GOD BLESS AMERICA
                           By Irving Berlin


God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above;

From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home!
Welcome to the Fruit of The Earth Biblical Wisdom & Counseling Site!
You have arrived at the place to find personal and practical help in a unique format of prose, poetry and song, and to be attained at your own pace.
I am semi-retired now, Beloved, but LORD-willing, the site itself will remain  active until He calls us Up!
I warmly invite you to explore my work, as well as that of the other very gifted individuals who co-minister here ... In doing so,  I believe you will find yourself among its many pages.  (This site represents thousands of hours of study and devotion to the LORD.  It is my Life's Work to be sure.) It is a reflection of Christ's love through me.
As you explore, Beloved, I earnestly pray you will surrender your heart and lay your past firmly at the foot of the Cross...  Jesus will help you sort it out, as you allow   His Spirit to minister to your personal hurt or need...  to heal you...  to set you free!  For where the Spirit of the LORD is, there, you will find your personal freedom!

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor men who lay with men.  1 Corinthians 6:9
New Living Translation
The Dangers of the Last Days

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.  They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.) These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.                          2 Timothy 3: 1-9


I do not come to condemn you, Beloved..but to connect you to One who can save you: for all humans have fallen short of the glory of the LORD.  I speak the truth in love to heal the wounds of the broken-hearted - and set those captives free!  For the peace of GOD has no torment.   xo Rev Rhonda
ARE YOU READY TO GO WITH THE LORD?
Jesus Himself said He would return for us, so that where He is, 
we may be with Him!  [see St. John 14:3]
The "Rapture" or Gathering-Up of Man Is Nigh!
You MUST Read for Yourself
The Words of Christ Himself from St. Matthew 24
All the signs Jesus told us to expect have/are rapidly coming to pass!
The Gathering-Up is a Supernatural Event -
 You MUST have the power of the Holy Spirit in you to be part of it!

Redeeming Love

I cannot love
you
until I love
myself.

And I cannot
love myself
until I am
Perfectly Loved
by the Saviour.

He is Love
and when
He speaks
His breath
flows His Love
into all my
being
and mends
my broken
heart 
and crushed
spirit.

His Love
makes me
whole... again
and able to love
once more.

He sent His word 
and healed them, 
And delivered them 
from their destructions.
 Psalm 107:20


Beloved..speak the Word of GOD aloud over yourself and over your loved ones.  You will be amazed at how the LORD begins to heal you through His Word!

I preach Christ, Beloved, and Him crucified...
YOUR ETERNAL LIFE CAN BEGIN RIGHT HERE - RIGHT NOW, BELOVED!  AND  IT'S AS EASY AS A-B-C!

1. Admit you are a sinner, and that your sin separates you
from the Perfection & Holiness of your Heavenly Father.

2. Believe in your heart that Jesus is Who He says He is - and the Only One Who can save you.

3. Confess aloud that Jesus Christ is LORD - 
and that you welcome Him to live & rule in your heart.

Do this... and you shall be saved!   (See Romans 10:9)

Known As Love

His name shall be Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.. 


They called His name Jesus

He came
As the Child of Mary
He died
As the Son of Man
Humanity’s Eternity 
In the offing...

His sinless Self
The Cost of
Our filthy rags:
Our Redemption
Became His Suffering
And scoffing.

For such is He
Who is known
As Love.

His mission to
Save the Lost
Is to reconcile us 
Back, to the Father:
To become as One
With Them, and then
One, with another.

For our place and position
Was recklessly lost
In the Paradise of GOD
By the first two Humans
Who willfully fell to Sin
Woefully becoming awed...



And yet, by God’s Amazing Grace
Two Millennia have passed 
And still, have we The Option:
Continue to ignore, and remain aloof -
Or surrender our hearts to the Father
Through the Spirit of His Adoption!

What’s in your stocking? Is it nailed to His Tree?
Merry Christ-Mass... with Love!

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.. Romans 8:16-17

Love your Neighbor!

You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove [find fault with] your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him/her. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons/daughters of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
                             Leviticus 19:17-18
Wake Up, America!
We are ONE people - we are in this TOGETHER!
Our nation is so divided again ; (  Don't you realize it was the LORD's good will to create us of many skin colors!  
Pray for the LORD to remove all hatred, prejudice, and bigotry and brutality from ALL hearts everywhere!

Warmly Welcoming
New Seekers









May you be blessed

Jesus Himself taught us in St. Matthew 7;7:
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

St James, His brother, tells us plainly in James 4:8
"Draw nigh [near] to God, and He will draw nigh to you."

KEEP ON ASKING, SEEKING, AND KNOCKING, BELOVED!
Love   (according to 1 Corinthians 13)
 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance... All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
O' come taste and see that the LORD is good!
FIGHT  THE
GOOD FIGHT!

IMMANUEL
THE UNIVERSAL SACRIFICE

​O’ Christ, my Christ
Immanuel
Who walked the earth
And rent the Veil!
Which separated 
GOD and Man
For You fulfilled
The Father’s Plan.

O’ Christ, my Christ.
Immanuel
Thou wast
Crucified
To prevent
Hell
From consuming
All mankind
For Lucifer
Hath rendered 
Them
Blind.

O’ Christ, my Christ
The Universal
Sacrifice
Given
To reconcile
Us back
To the Father
Who paid our
Price upon
His Cross
Redemption
Comes by no
Other.


O’ Christ, my Christ
Immanuel
When Glory 
Was lost
In Edenic
Assail
Thou camest to
Blot out all
The sin.. 
Which blotted 
Out the 
Light.


O’ Christ, my Christ
Who agonized
To save us
From Eternal
Night
Who bore
The weight 
Of all Mankind
And gave up
Every drop of
Life.


O’ Christ, my Christ!

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, 
and shall bring forth a son, 
and they shall call his name Immanuel,
 which being interpreted is, God with us. 
St. Matthew 1:23

IMMANUEL
GOD with us!

O’ Christ, my Christ
Immanuel!
Whose descent
brought us
GOD to dwell
among us.
O’ Christ, my Christ

Whose mission
was to preach
and save
that which
was lost
Whose life
it cost,
Immanuel.

But on His Way
He stopped
to heal
and cast out
devils, very real

To bind the wounds
Sin had incurred
ere eye e’er saw
ere ear e’er heard,
Immanuel!

He, Who came
to Be
 to set at
liberty
captives of the night,
to bring forth Love’s
Eternal Light,
O’Christ, my Christ,
Immanuel!

A Babe
in manger
a Son
on Cross
O’ Immanuel -
our GOD
with us!


Amen.

Merry Christmas, Beloved!
Let us honor Immanuel in all our Celebrations for He is with us!

St. Matthew 13:52


Let every person be subject to governing authorities. 
For there is no authority except that [which is given] from God, and those [authorities} that exist have been instituted by God.  
                                                 Romans 13:1
"You did not choose Me, 
but I chose you 
and appointed you
to go and bear fruit -
 fruit that will remain."
 St. John 15:18  
Then Jesus said to them,
 "Therefore every scribe
 which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings forth out of his treasure things both old and new."  St. Matt. 13:52
He appointed me - and 
​  I  bring forth MY treasure from the Word of GOD, both the Old 
and New Testaments!
​Bridging  the            gap  between  soul  and  spirit!
