Dinosaurs Walked With Man

Dinosaurs Walked With Man

The true science has been documented in the Bible! All that we have been taught in the public institutions about the big bang theory has been nothing more than pure perverted imagination, ferry stories developed by men who set out to destroy the faith of many, to disprove the existence of God.

God describes in His Word how the world was formed and even mentions in some detail the creatures that lived and walked on the earth during the time of man.

One of the creatures we were raised to believe was a cartoon character was that of the dragon. The Leviathan was a creature such as this.

God speaking in Job about the Leviathan, a dinosaur dragon that walk when Job walked:

Job 41
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
God’s Power Shown in Creatures

"41 “[a]Can you draw out [b]Leviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 “Can you put a [c]rope in his nose
Or pierce his jaw with a [d]hook?
3 “Will he make many supplications to you,
Or will he speak to you soft words?
4 “Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him for a servant forever?
5 “Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you bind him for your maidens?
6 “Will the [e]traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him among the merchants?
7 “Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
8 “Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle; [f]you will not do it again!
9 “[g]Behold, [h]your expectation is false;
Will [i]you be laid low even at the sight of him?
10 “No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;
Who then is he that can stand before Me?
11 “Who has [j]given to Me that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
Or his mighty strength, or his [k]orderly frame.
13 “Who can [l]strip off his outer armor?
Who can come within his double [m]mail?
14 “Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth there is terror.
15 “His [n]strong scales are his pride,
Shut up as with a tight seal.
16 “One is so near to another
That no air can come between them.
17 “They are joined one to another;
They clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18 “His sneezes flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 “Out of his mouth go burning torches;
Sparks of fire leap forth.
20 “Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 “His breath kindles coals,
And a flame goes forth from his mouth.
22 “In his neck lodges strength,
And dismay leaps before him.
23 “The folds of his flesh are joined together,
Firm on him and immovable.
24 “His heart is as hard as a stone,
Even as hard as a lower millstone.
25 “When he raises himself up, the [o]mighty fear;
Because of the crashing they are bewildered.
26 “The sword that reaches him cannot avail,
Nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.
27 “He regards iron as straw,
Bronze as rotten wood."

Fighting With God?

Fighting With God?

I was once accused of giving too much scripture. What was amusing to me is that I thought I wasn't giving enough.

The one who accused me said she wanted to hear my thoughts, that I didn't seem to be able to think for myself.

I knew the real reason for her complaint, she wanted to argue with me about "my opinion", while being uncomfortable with arguing with God.

She had nothing to say against me when it was God I was quoting. The only criticism she had against me was to quote too much of God's Word. LOL!

There are times when we need to be silent and just let God speak through His Word. Let the rebellious fight with God, He can handle it.

God Hates Idolatry

I have just been in conversation with someone who told me that it does not matter what we do, because God looks at the heart.

The problem with this mentality is that God never gave us principles to follow because they didn't matter, He gave them expecting us to obey.

I grow weary of those that think that sin and disobedience to God's principles are unimportant as long as we are born again. God says, if we are born again then we hate sin, we love to obey.

Those who refuse to be corrected, hanging onto their idols with tenacity while claiming to love that which offends God, places a question in my mind, how could it be that someone who has been made into a new creation, kicks against the goad when challenged with Scripture to evaluate their actions and attitudes.

Having come out of a religious system that encouraged idol worship, I can no longer tolerate any form of idolatry.

Romans 6
King James Version (KJV)
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Trust Food or Trust Christ?

I am so over the whole "Holistic" food thing. I was once intrigued by it until I saw the prices for these so called healthy foods.

I am weary of all the hype about vitamins and healthy food, so much so that I am rebelling and choosing not to indulge in the craze.

Now reports are coming out that the vitamins people trusted have almost no value in making us healthier.

If someone is shown to have an illness due to deficiency in something that is different, but I believe many people are spending lots of money for vitamins that have so little an effect, that it is almost unnoticeable.

I also believe that those that say they feel better from taking vitamins, only think there is a change, it is mostly in their own heads. Perhaps an hysterical wellness. LOL!!!

The natural food industry is laughing all the way to the bank.

I also believe that the devil has succeeded in engaging believers in this paranoia about food and vitamins, to distract them from what really matters.

Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."

Ephesians 6:1-3
"1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."

Don't see anything in these passages about food!

Provoke One Another!

Provoke: "to excite, to irritate, to stir up." I think this is a stronger intent than our culture realizes. We are so gentile with our delivery these days that a rebuke is hardly recognizable. As humans, we don't notice the importance of a matter until the delivery is intense, then we can see. We are so steeped in "self esteem" that there is a fear looming over everyone that they might upset the hearer, so their message becomes practically impotent.
Hebrews 10:24-25
King James Version (KJV)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

A Nation In A Day May 14, 1948

God performed a miracle 66 years ago on May 14, 1948, He made Israel a nation in a day just as He said He would. Once again God kept His promise to Israel, just as He will keep all His other promise to her and to all those who have been grafted in through salvation in Christ Jesus!

May we celebrate with Israel in the securing of a homeland, the place that God gave to her and one day He will return there.

Isaiah 66:7-8
"7 “Before she travailed, she brought forth;
Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.

8 “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be born in one day?
Can a nation be brought forth all at once?
As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons."

Let God Change Us His Way

Let God Change Us His Way                                                                         

Some people exercise their bodies to become physically fit. God exercises our spirit to become spiritually fit, He often uses physical means to do it, through illness. He also uses finances, human relationships and mental trials to shape us into His likeness.

We don't learn very much without trials. We may not think we are learning anything in midst of the trial, usually I whine to be bailed out, but after the trial passes I can see the change in perspective that wasn't there before.

The trials are not fun, but coming out the other side a little better than we were before is wonderful. All trials change us if we are not stubborn.

Hebrews 12:5-8
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
"5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."
