Why do people steal? Man has made anti theft devices but they don't always work.
It's sad that people in this world behave as they do but there is something even better than these devices that are used to deter such behavior. There is something that actually has the Power to make people not even want to steal at all. Stronger than steel, with 24 hr surveillance and 100 percent accountability, if we know what it is, we should be telling our brothers and sisters! I'm talking about the Power of The Blood of Jesus Christ that can and is changing the lives of countless people everyday and delivering them from the power of darkness to the power of light! From the power of Satan to the Power of God! He can break the chains that lead to sorrow and destruction! Brother, you are already using live stream to share good times. Why not share the good news at the same time? God's Word is active and alive and sharper than any double edged sword! Let every one who has an ear hear what the Spirit has to say to the people! They all know John 3.16, but how many have heard or took the time to read even one more verse? John 3.17 says "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him". If we do His will our lives are blessed but if we fall away our lives a mess! I urge everyone that read this if you don't have a Bible get one. There's a free Bible app for your phone that will read it out loud to you. If u have one, take a little time each day and read it. I don't care if it's just 5 minutes. It will help you in many ways. May yout spiritual eyes be opened so that you can see how much the Creatir of Heaven and earth and all that is in them loves YOU!

Last night I was talking about how much God loves us and wants those who have fallen away from their faith to RETURN to him. Romans 5.8 states God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 & 9 tell us " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast."
I had mentioned the prodigal son and here is the parable as Jesus told it in the book of Luke chapter 15. and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Luke 15:12‭-‬24
JESUS always wants us back friends! It's not too late for you today!
I'll close with a screen shot from Revelations chapter 2. If you would like to know who were the Nicolaitans, here is a link to learn more. Have a blessed day.

Please take a few minutes and pray that the authorities will be able to make a quick apprehension of the murderer on the loose in The Dalles Oregon area. Pray for comfort for the family and friends of the victims. Finally pray that our local communities would open their hearts and minds to The Savior who paid the price of death for our sins on the cross so that whoever believed on His name and accepted His Loved filled gift could repent of their sinful life and receive His forgiveness. In
1 John 1.9 we read " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness".
A lot of people think of themselves as good people . However, because of our sin nature, none of us has been able to obey the Ten commandments which help to show us how sinful we really are. 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 9 through 11 tell us "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,( (with reference to a man) having characteristics and ways of behaving traditionally associated with women and regarded as inappropriate for a man.) nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. The 1st part shows those who choose to continue in their sin will not be able to go to heaven which would then send them to hell but verse 11 shows us that they can still repent and be saved. Friends, God sent His Son Jesus while we were yet still sinners! He loves you and doesn't want any of us to perish!
Look at Eziekel 33.11- Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.
Again see Isaiah 55.7- Let the wicked one abandon his way and the sinful one his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, so he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will freely forgive.
Did you see that word RETURN? Keep that in mind.
Now let's take a moment and look at how seriously Sin is to be taken. Hebrews chapter 10 verses 26 and 27 tell us
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God." This is a very strong condeming warning that Satan the accuser would have you to believe you lost your salvation!
Now let's go back to that word return. I'd like to pose a question for you to consider. How can you return to a place you have not been to before? That's right. You can't. 1 Corinthians 6.11 is telling us just as the story of the prodigal son who squandered his inheritance and wound up eating pig food before he came to his senses and RETURNED to his Father, God loves you despite your sin and longs for you to come to Him. Did you know The Bible has over 1800 prophesies in it. They continue to prove true every day as we draw closer to the end times. Upon the return of Jesus, it will be too late for those who did not receive Him in their hearts. In these times of trouble over 565 million people have downloaded the You Version Bible app and are searching through God's Word and finding answers. I'm using the Bible App by YouVersion.com. Download it now for your mobile device and find a local church that teaches God's Word not man's ways. Many know John 3.16 but not the following verse verse -For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.- Finally friends, Acts 26.18 tells us in the Red letter words of Jesus Himself why He gave His life on the cross for you and me -To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
