He finally realizes that the hired servants at his Dads house have plenty to eat.So he heads home after making his mind up to repent and ask forgiveness of his kind Dad.Remember,his Dad couldn't keep him from starving to death until the son made a choice.<br /><br />His Dad who so loved him,and no doubt watched every day for his sons return instantly forgave him and said to kill the fatted calf to celebrate his sons return.Especially note verse 24 however.(**Continued next blog...)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-1362644403745838057?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-22334155701470876612007-07-17T14:15:00.000-07:002007-07-17T14:45:58.913-07:00satan Laughs and So Do Sinners at Your Ignorance 2Continuing from yesterday,the young 13 year old girl told him...<br /><br />"Yes I'm a christian.Got saved last year" and she named the church.She had been taught false doctrine all her young life.She didn't know any better.She truly believed she was still saved and would go to Heaven no matter what she did.<br /><br />All because ungodly baptist pastors teach that once you're saved,"no matter what you do" you'll "still" go to Heaven.There's not one scripture in the KJV Bible that says that.In fact it says the very opposite.It says "no sin"shall enter Heaven.But I'll tell you their answer and excuse for that later.<br /><br />Let's simplfy what they teach and preach and compare to "what God says."<br /><br /><strong>Side Note</strong>-I specialize in knowing all their teaching because my parents were members at one of these churches for many years while I was growing up.Finally,my Dad who was head deacon became so sick and tired of hearing this preached,that,fortunately for us,he left this devilish teaching forever.<br /><br />Took us where the "real truth" was being taught and we're saved today because of it all thanks to God and His mercy and grace.<br /><br />The baptist(that believes once saved always saved doctrine)preach that once a person is saved,no matter if they drop dead while having sex with another person besides their husband or wife,that they'll go straight to Heaven.They teach that they will lose their rewards however,but they'll still go to Heaven.Continued...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-2233415570147087661?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-83403970569056481422007-07-16T07:42:00.000-07:002007-07-16T08:36:22.967-07:00satan Laughs and So Do Sinners at Your IgnoranceI must confront a doctrine that is extremely popular among the baptist.And only so because of their ignorance of not knowing the KJV Bible and what God says.I have no doubt there's well meaning people who believe this just because the pastor said so.<br /><br />You would do well congregation to study the Bible "yourself" because you're being fed a lie that could cause you to go to hell.But first allow me to tell you a story. <br /><br />A young girl around 13 years of age was brought home by several policeman.A relative who was visiting his brother and family opened the door.He told them he was her uncle and the only one home when they ask for her parents.<br /><br />They explained that she'd been caught smoking pot and was brought home because of her young age.If she was caught again she'd have to go to a juvenile home.When they left,the uncle who was a christian and didn't know his Bible ask her a question.<br /><br />Guess what he ask?<br /><br />That's right,he ask her if she was a christian.Now you and I that reads and studies our beloved old fashion JKV knows she's not saved because "true christians" don't smoke marijuana.But this man had been brainwashed with false baptist teaching of once saved always saved.<br /><br />Did you know that baptist teach and preach that "once you're saved you can never go to hell,no matter what you do?"

He doesn't want to be called on the carpet for his actions but he wants to be called a pastor,a preacher of the word.<br /><br />Pastors,preachers,evangelist,I call you to record that God told us to set an example and to feed the sheep and lambs.<br /><br />The lambs are the babies and the sheep are the adults.We are to feed both by letting the Holy Ghost guide our tongue and thoughts.May all the cowardly preachers with no backbone step down or either let God have His way in us so we'll obey Him.<br /><br />There can be no cowards working in Gods army!Only men of God called by God.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-6984632109169020089?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-39691560614831959622007-06-17T18:21:00.000-07:002007-06-17T18:43:28.379-07:00Worlds New Standards-Christians Old StandardsNo matter who you are,whether poverty strickened or wealthy beyond compare the Bible says every knee shall bow and every tongue confess at that great and notable day of the Lord.<br /><br />You either are following Gods standards or this worlds standards.<br /><br />Gods standards are the only way to Heaven through Jesus Christ.Follow this worldly standards and you'll die in your sins and go to hell forever.Jesus is the only way to the Father God.<br /><br />Man has tried to make a new world standard to get to God but they never can.Do things Gods way,which is the Christians old standards of Holiness or go to hell.Your choice,you choose.Heaven by Gods rules or hell forever by your rules.<br /><br />I meet people all the time who live by the worlds new standards and yet they call themselves christins.They "look" and "act" exactly like the world but they claim to be a child of God.<br /><br />They do everything the world does like drink alcoholic beverages,smoke,are unfaithful to spouse,lie,steal and cheat just to name a "few"things they do.There is only one way and that's Gods way.Aren't you glad He is the only way?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-3969156061483195962?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-40974192842134913462007-06-06T10:17:00.000-07:002007-06-06T10:54:09.608-07:00Hell Is Not For Real...Right?Multitudes would love to know there is no hell!Without any thoughts of a so called "payday" when that last gasping breath is gone.When their failing heart quicks beating.<br /><br />No way my friend.There IS a HELL!<br /><br />Old satan himself has fooled you all these years.He's just waiting until you "kick the bucket"so you'll finally be his to do what he wants with you.No,he'll not cut you any slack nor will he bargain with you.<br /><br />I'm sorry friend,but if you live in sin, "be sure your sins will find you out."Some preachers teach that once you're saved no matter what you do you'll go to Heaven.Don't believe them because you'll join them in hell fire and burn forever if you do.<br /><br />The Bible says no sin shall enter Heaven.Oh I know!There's always those who try to reason things out and they try to convince themselves and others there is no hell.I have had them come up to me and ask me if I've ever seen hell.<br /><br />I've never seen air but one must have it to live.I've never seen cancer but I've seen what it does to a once healthy body.I've never seen hell but I've heard literally hundreds of stories from people who I know to be honest and truthful.<br /><br />As they told of the screams and cursing of a dying man or woman who were not saved and were dying in their sins going straight to hell.I've been told horrid stories of death bed experiences of the lost and damned.I personally am witness to one myself.<br /><br />Hell is not real?You can refuse to believe in hell now but one split second after you die "you'll know personally" that yes,hell is real.You'll live there forever in torment and pain and suffering like your mind cannot imagine.<br /><br />Am I trying to scare you?YES! May your eyes be opened now to the Truth.I don't want you to go to hell.Right now,this instant,ask God to forgive your sins and save you and wash you in the Blood of the Lamb.He will because He loves you.Jesus His Son died for you.Receive His love and healing now.Email me and let us rejoice together.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-4097419284213491346?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-85606564756233159862007-06-01T11:44:00.000-07:002007-06-01T12:15:38.848-07:00One Of Slewfoot's Biggest LiesMany names and characters belong to satan because he is a master at deception.The KJV Bible teaches that the devil is the father of liars.One of his biggest lies is that we have plenty of time to get ready for Heaven.<br /><br />There is multitudes in hell right now that had plans to one day make every thing right with God and get saved.They were sincere and honestly thought they could choose the day and time.They were fed the lie by satan and believed it.<br /><br />Now they're in hell!Will be there "forever"as all men are who die in their sins.Once you go to hell there is no getting out.You've wrote your final ticket.You've lost your last opportunity and will scream the agonies of the damned forever and forever.<br /><br />There are precious catholics who obeyed their priest completely.They were good people as far as morals are concerned.They lived more pure lives than many pastors and christians.But when they die they went to hell forever.Why? Because they believed and obeyed the wrong priest.Jesus Christ is the "only" way,Not Man.<br /><br />Billions are told by satan they have plenty of time to prepare.Sex it up,drink it up and have lots of fun and pleasure.Eat-drink-be merry and build bigger barns.Now they're in hell forever screaming.<br /><br />Pastors and preachers who follow their father the devil preach to the masses telling them not to get too carried away with religion.Don't be too fanatical.You must be balanced you know.Pastors are sometimes the biggest reason people go to hell.They themselves are going to hell but they're blind to the truth.<br /><br />No you do not have plenty of time!You could die any second-where would "YOU"spend eternity?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-8560656475623315986?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-56511070530657563802007-05-31T18:16:00.000-07:002007-05-31T18:48:58.393-07:00Has America Gone Too Far?My friends,it looks as if the American churches and religious groups have become so backslid that they do not even realize their condition.The enemy satan has them so blindfolded that they even think they're doing Gods Will when really they're doing the devil's will.<br /><br />Women who claim to be Christians dress like prostitutes and even lead many churches in teaching,song leaders,etc.The men,pastor included,follow their every move with their lustful eyes.In truth almost all women and men undress down to almost nothing in warm weather.But they all say they love God.<br /><br />Divorce has become a real epidemic in America with 3 out of 4 marriages breaking up and then either going out and getting remarried or shacking up.<strong>This is as bad in the church as it is outside the church.</strong><br /><br />Every home has several tv's and almost all church people including pastors watch any and all the filth.No matter how dirty the words or the sex scenes their eyes are glued.You probably won't believe me but...<br /><br />Our home has not had cable or even an antenna for 15 years now.We have a tv but only use it occassionally to watch a christian movie.We go sometimes 6 months before we even watch one christian movie.Do we think we're self righteous? NO!Only God is good but he tells us to live Holy and we try to obey Him.<br /><br />2 Chron 7:14 is our motto we try to live by.I pray America hasn't gone too far.But in my heart frankly I feel she has.Even our elections for president and government leaders prove it to be true.A revival from God can work miracles however.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

KJV Bible No Longer Honored By MostThe Bible teaches in the last days there'll be a great falling away.Falling away from what?<br /><br />The Truth-Gods Holy Word!<br /><br />Recently here in North Carolina which is becoming one of the most liberal states in America a ruling was passed.A judge in Wake County ruled that the Holy Bible is no longer the sole choice for swearing in.<br /><br />Any religious text,and not just the Bible,can be used to swear in a witness or juror in NC courtrooms.<br /><br />Maybe you're not catching the important drift of this ruling.Here in America the ungodly demon possessed UCLU leaders have fought long and hard to rid our country of Gods only Holy Word.<br /><br />Because America is in such a backslidden condition the American Civil Liberties Union is able to win over the votes and voices of juges who will rule in their favor.<br /><br />Pastors,evangelist,christians wake up to your backslid condition and have some guts and backbone.Repent and come back to God with tears and a humble broken spirit of prayer and fasting.Start preaching the truth no matter who it makes mad.Preach revival and Holiness and Revival can happen again all over this land.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Memory And Honor To Our SoldiersIt bothers me that we care so little about the pain and death of our soldiers here in America.May 30th means nothing to most,the real day to remember.<br /><br />Fun and festivities,eating and getting drunk and a 3 day long week end is the run of the mill idea about Memorial Day.The awful cost of freedom is quickly forgotten as the masses live it up by a party of selfish wimps.<br /><br />I read a comment where someone said they didn't want to mess up your fun on Memorial Day.Well,I do!<br /><br />It wasn't too much fun as the brave men and some women fought to protect you.It wasn't too much fun as they lay bleeding to death from wounds and cuts just so you can celebrate!<br /><br />It wasn't too much fun as young man left the farm where they'd milk the cows and feed the chickens.Where they plowed the corn and worked the golden fields of wheat and grain.<br /><br />Where they went to bed early rising before daylight doing the chores,some by moonlight.<br /><br />It wasn't much fun saying goodby as they kissed their wife and children goodby,nor the now gray haired Dad and Mom.The suffering and hurting fear of going into the unknown,many never to return.All for our freedom that many of us do not deserve.<br /><br />Yes,may our fun and selfish pleasure be ruined as we soberly remember with tears and hearts of thankfulness the terrible cost of freedom.Long live the True Memory and Honor to our Soldiers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

YOU Really Care About Revival?Let's just be honest with each other.Maybe you love your sins!Whatever that may be whether it's lust for money,sex,or this old world's material goods.Perhaps you enjoy running around on your husband or wife.Maybe,just maybe you're so full of the devil that cursing,drinking,drugging or dope and lying,stealing and cheating pleases you.<br /><br />You may even go to church every service or some of the time.You might even be the pastor!<br /><br />It's possible you've become blind to the truth.There may have been false training given to you by your parents or someone else since you were a child and it could be that you're simply ignorant of the truth.<br /><br />At any rate you do know whether you really would like to experience revival.If a Heaven sent Blood washing revival doesn't turn you on,you need to get saved.I'm not judging just being a fruit inspector.<br /><br />Maybe you don't go to church at all using the "crutch"that all people are hypocrites and you'll not go to church with them.Did you know that if you don't get saved you'll go to hell with them?<br /><br />Do you really care about revival?I get both positive and negative email and I thank you for both kinds.Please pray for me that I'll be used of God to bring revival to our nation one more time.Write me and let me know you are now.God Bless you.<div

Christians Are Not PopularIt doesn't mean that everybody that is not well liked is a christian.There's a number of people who follow satan and he is their god,that's mean.Mean as the devil I've heard people say.Few people want to be around a mean man or woman.<br /><br />But if you're a Christian and you're well liked by nearly everyone there is something very wrong.<br /><br />If a preacher is known all over the world and greatly loved by the sinful world,for example "Billy Grayham" then something is bad wrong somewhere.I'm not saying the preachers that are popular are bad.But if they preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified then they'll be hated by most of the world including the religious crowd.<br /><br />If you get upset at me for naming preachers then that's between you and God because our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said...<br /><br />"IF THEY HATE ME THEY'LL HATE YOU." If you read the Bible you know that Jesus was hated by the multitudes because He preached the truth.If preachers are loved by the sinful world they are not Gods True Servant no matter how many people claim to get saved at their crusades.<br /><br />The majority of todays preachers are compromising and tickling people's ears and telling them they're ok.They are not ok,they're going to hell!So believe God and His Word or believe these hypocritical preachers,but the Bible says that true christians are not popular.You can tell a tree by the fruit it bears.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-2315361633283057914?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-62562039603758580712007-05-17T12:31:00.000-07:002007-05-17T13:56:53.347-07:00Jesus Christ And Him CrucifiedProbably the reason I am so very strick on what I write is because when I was living in ungodly sins I was around so called preachers and christians so called that were doing the same thing I was.<br /><br />In fact they did things I would not do!<br /><br />Then they'd go back to their pulpit,teaching a sunday school class or singing in the choir.That didn't set well with me then if you catch my drift.It doesn't set well with me now either.I could easily have died and went to hell because of them.<br /><br />Actually when I was out in sin myself,I hated those religious hypocrites.Now I hate their sins but I don't hate them.I don't want anyone to be lost.<br /><br />The Bible teaches we're susposed to live just like Jesus,a Holy Seperated life.Not doing what the world does.That's what it means when it says "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." We are to crucify this fleshly desires and pleasures that are sinful.<br /><br />It is not wrong to be happy and enjoy life as a Christian.But it must be the things that please God,not men.We can plan for Heaven by following "Jesus Christ and Him crucified."

Any Christians latelySomeone ask,"what does a Christian look like?"<br /><br />The reply was from several people who attended different churches.A teacher said that if they attended sunday school on a regular basis and dressed up properly.A deacon remarked that if they paid their tithes that was the way christians looked.<br /><br />A trustee said that if they helped out on different committee's that would prove they were a christian.<br /><br />The Choir Director said if they sang in the choir that they had all the looks of a christian.<br /><br />After all of them finished their debate with each other they saw a pastor kneeling and praying with his head on his KJV Bible and they all rushed up to him.The deacon spoke up and said, "excuse us pastor for stopping you from your devotions but can you tell us what a Christian looks like?"<br /><br />Suddenly the pastor just vanished and they heard a voice from Heaven say, "Do thou likewise as you saw the pastor do and you'll know what a Christian looks like."<br /><br />They then realized that a Bible loving,praying person did look like a Christian.They bowed their head and walked away in shame.Do you look like a Christian?Are you a

Your Miracle WorkerSome folks think God used to work miracles but He doesn't anymore.They believe the story about the red sea parting.They believe the miracles in the KJV Bible are true and what the Word recorded and told are true.<br /><br />But somehow since Jesus went back to be with the Father,God lost His power and He doesn't perform in the supernatural today.There's people who really believe that although the Bible is full of scriptures proving them wrong.<br /><br />The Bible tells us plainly that He is the same yesterday,today,and forever.He says I change not.Well if He doesn't do the same works He did while on earth then He does change.Oh yes,He still does the same works of miracles,signs and wonders.We're doubters and unbelievers now.That's where the problem is.<br /><br />God still saves,heals and delivers.When you start reading the Bible(the right one)then you'll have faith to believe.Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.You know what?God did a supernatural miracle for me today.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Says It AllMy hat goes off to you Mothers.I never really understood untill this past year.My oldest daughter had her third child almost two years ago.When she went back to work she ask me if I'd keep her during the day while I did stuff on the computer.Well,I found out that I can do stuff on the computer when my grand daughter lets me.<br /><br />She is an Angel,a tornado,a whirlwind,and a thunder storm all in one.Sometimes I find her trying to climb the stairs or the tallest chair just to name a few things.<br /><br />So Mothers,we men are blessed.You all have 'em,take care of them,get up at night when they're sick or having bad dreams.You fix most of their food,change millions of diapers,plus all the 101 other things you do.<br /><br />Yes,you're worthy of praise and honor Mothers.There's only one thing keeping me still baby sitting my one little grand daughter.I love her to pieces and she's got me wrapped around her finger.But I wouldn't trade for the world.<br /><br />To all you Mothers-God Bless You.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Gives You PurposeWe were mentioning yesterday how people "say" they want to work for God but if they find it brings a little sweat and effort many will quit.That's why people don't get excited about praying because it does involve "work."<br /><br />Prayer not only empowers you to work spiritually but it gives you a purpose.Many lack vision and therefore have no purpose.You must have a vision if you ever plan to accomplish anything for God.<br /><br />My people perish for lack of knowledge God said.A vision of what you purpose to do will bring knowledge to do it.<br /><br />That takes us back to prayer because when you pray God gives you a vision of what He wants you to do and He empowers you to do His purpose.<br /><br />Ladies and Gentlemen Prayer gives you Purpose.Want to please God?Get busy doing His will by praying for power to move mountains.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Empowers YouDo you want to do something great for God? Then pray!I've had people come up and tell me they wanted to do a work for God.They'd tell me they'd do anything.Then I'd tell them to pray.<br /><br />You should have seen their face,it was as if I'd slapped them.They wanted to do anything for God-but pray.<br /><br />I remember I took my van one time and rounded up a load of people that wanted to work for God.We divided up in two's and took Gospel tracts(Chick Tracts)and covered the neighborhood for several hours.We'd go from house to house witnessing to all who would listen.<br /><br />The next week I ask for people to go who wanted to do a great work for the Lord.I think about half that had gone the week before went.<br /><br />Do you want to do a great work for God?Pray! Prayer empowers you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-5156364753119350481?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-6052086377585119602007-05-10T22:55:00.000-07:002007-05-10T23:23:22.652-07:00Don't Feel Like Praying!I must confess to you my friends.I've preached thousands of sermons across America and while I pastored.But there were times that if I had gone by feelings,I'd never have gotten behind the pulpit to preach.<br /><br />If I had gone by feelings there's times I'd never have gone to the job I had.There were times I'd never have gotten out of bed if I went by feelings.<br /><br />Many times when we go to pray,we don't feel like praying.You see,feelings will stop you dead in your tracks.We don't do things by feelings.We do things by faith.God our Father told us to pray,so we pray.<br /><br />I have found that when I don't feel like praying,but I go pray anyway,it's not long before I do feel like praying.My spirit man,the "real me"actually starts enjoying talking to my Lord Jesus.Just start and your spiritual motor will kick in.<br /><br />Sometimes I don't feel like having my Bible study,but once I get started it is actually hard to stop.Don't feel like praying?Pray anyway.You'll experience the power of God so much stronger in your life.Just start and God will take over.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-605208637758511960?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-53462824842081005012007-05-10T06:26:00.000-07:002007-05-10T07:01:53.846-07:00All That's Left Is Prayer!Some times we have nothing else that we can do...except prayer.That is when the rubber meets the road.No friend to go to-not a living soul that can help us.Not even our family.Ever been there?<br /><br />I have!Every thought seem to bring less hope.It was pitch dark even with the sun shining brightly and nothing but blue sky.We're only flesh.Poor helpless creatures.<br /><br />That's when past Bible study and Prayer pays off.Suddenly you hear a tiny voice in your spirit say "have I left you my child.Do I no longer answer when you talk to me?Did I not say Ask and ye shall receive?"<br /><br />All at once it's like you wake up from a bad dream and with the beautiful sun shiny day hitting you in the face you realize it was only a dream.You throw your feet out of bed and smile knowing everything will be ok after all.<br /><br />That's exactly what happens when we realize we still have prayer.The greatest power ever given to man from God is faith building prayer and the Holy KJV Bible.Those two put together crushes satan under your feet.Thank God when we know "all that's left is Prayer."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-5346282484208100501?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-23435732482085621542007-05-08T23:55:00.000-07:002007-05-09T00:16:34.677-07:00Prayer Bathing"With God all things are possible." With prayer believing all things are possible.A key unlocks the door it was made for.Prayer unlocks the door of the things we're praying for according to our faith.<br /><br />That's why the KJV Bible teaches us to "have faith in God."<br /><br />He cannot fail.In the Gospels Jesus was constantly teaching the disciples to trust and believe in Him.He told them to believe in Him for the very works sake if they couldn't believe anything else.<br /><br />In other words,only the Son of God at this time was empowered to raise the dead,cause thousands to be fed with a few loaves and fishes and have 12 baskets left over.To cast out demons and heal the sick.He was saying "let these works of miracles prove who I am."<br /><br />God has now given this power to "true" Christians but only through prayer and fasting said the Lord before He ascended back to the Father to sit on His right hand.Start bathing each other fellow Christians in prayer,faith believing,and the hand of satan will be destroyed.Unbelief and doubt gives satan power.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-2343573248208562154?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-26944371137596327402007-05-08T08:40:00.000-07:002007-05-08T10:12:15.896-07:00What Prayer Can DoPrayer can move mountains literally.Perhaps you've heard of "praying Hyde." Perhaps not.Anyway he lived back in another century and was a great prayer warrior.If he needed something,instead of asking human friends he'd go before the Father,our Lord God and start praying.<br /><br />Sometimes he'd pray hours even all night or all day.But he'd pray until he felt in his spirit that he'd gotten what he needed and it wouldn't be long 'til it literally would come to pass.<br /><br />He had a home for little children that didn't know where their parents were or their parents weren't living.Many times there was no food but he told the children to sit down at the table.They would bow their heads and praying Hyde would thank God for suppling their meal.<br /><br />In a few minutes there'd be a knock on the door and outside stood a horse and wagon loaded with all kinds of groceries and the pots were ready to bring in full of cooked food.No one knew they needed food.Does God answer prayer?<br /><br />What prayer can do is according to your faith.If you don't believe in God with child like faith,then you probably won't see anything happen.But...if you trust in Jesus there is no limit to what "prayer can do."<br /><br />email me- samphillips@skybest.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-2694437113759632740?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-25684186812038785402007-05-07T08:15:00.000-07:002007-05-07T09:40:05.386-07:00Have You Prayed-Studied TodayWe always find time to do what "we"want to do.Have you missed many meals because you didn't have time?Have you stayed up all night(or day)because you didn't have time to sleep?<br /><br />Have you missed praying or reading your Bible because you didn't have time?<br /><br />I'm afraid the first two questions would be NO but the latter question would be YES.Our Bible teaches that men perish for lack of knowledge.Not educated knowledge because there's an abundance of that.<br /><br />When the KJV Bible says "My people perish for lack of knowledge" God is talking about a lack of knowledge of Him and His Word.We can always find time for everything but serving God.<br /><br />That's why most people go to hell for ever,for all eternity,"because"they can always do what they "want" to do.But they can't find time for God.They can spend many hours watching tv or playing games or listening to music.Just about everything but God.<br /><br />Have "you" "taken time" for God today?Have you Prayed-Studied Today?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-2568418681203878540?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-86512250392460223332007-05-05T14:24:00.000-07:002007-05-05T15:07:17.261-07:00Do You Have Joy?Joy to some is having plenty of money.So if you have plenty of money can you tell those who don't if it really gives you joy?<br /><br />A large house with several acres of land to mow and a beautiful landscape is susposed to give joy to others.Those of you who have a large home and land can you tell those who don't if you're really full of joy?<br /><br />Nice clothes and prestige give certain people a sense of pride and joy.If that's you can you "honestly" tell those who don't have what you have if you're "full" of joy?<br /><br />There's all kinds of**false joy**but it only last for a season and then it's all gone.<br /><br />Do you want "True Joy"that will take you through your life here and into the next life?Jesus said "my Peace I give unto you." He was talking to the disciples when they were sad and discouraged.Only the peace of God can pass understanding.<br /><br />In closing may I recommend Gods love.He gave His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross in your place that you shall have life and have it more abundantly.Not wealth nor homes nor possessions can make you happy within themselves.Only Jesus can give you joy.Turn and accept His Joy now.Talk to Him now-He'll listen and love you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-8651225039246022333?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26819943.post-1153015131401872862006-07-15T18:21:00.000-07:002006-07-15T18:58:51.413-07:00What's Biblical True Religion?Would like to ask my readers if they'd send me a reply on what the Bible says "True Religion" is?I'd love to read your comments!<br /><br />I got a email several weeks ago from a man who had his ego deflated by some facts I had written but it was hard for him to swallow the truth and he tried to get me to argue with him but I didn't even write him back.I'm much to busy trying to deliver the truth around the internet to waste time disagreeing on what the Bible has "already said as Gospel."Amen<br /><br />Like he implied,I'm not a very smart person by this worlds standard of intelligence and I doubt if I could pass the six grade now,with all the new things our school kids must learn today however I did finish high school and have had some training beyond that,but that's not really important.<br /><br />James 1:26 and 27 in the K.J.V.Bible tells exactly what True Religion is and You can turn there and read it,but one small portion I will read is in verse 27 and last part of that verse which says this-"...to keep himself unspotted from the world."<br /><br />To my catholic friend who wrote,that is what God said and put in our Holy Bible and neither you nor I or anyone in the world can change that.When the end comes for us to leave this world,it will not be the pope or priest or all the hail Mary's we've said that will save us,but only if our name is written in the Lambs Book of Life.<br /><br />That is the crossed t and the dotted i and the final chapter in Gods Holy Bible and my friends who read this faithfully when I can find time to blog,that is what True Religion and undefiled is.I am glad that no preacher,pastor,or teacher has the final say so.Only God and let God be true for that is Biblical True Religion.Amen.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26819943-115301513140187286?l=truereligion.smoky-mountainvacation.com%2Findex.html'/></div>Sam J.Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06258268570390941151noreply@blogger.com0
