He that overcometh the same shall be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Rev. 3:5 is a rich verse for us in that it lays out who will win and who will lose. All of us fall short of the glory of God. When we mess up, fess up. Don't take for granted that, like some, say your sins are all done away with from then to when. Responsibility is on our shoulders to live according to Gods instruction book - the Bible. " He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels." Pretty straight word don't you think?

National day of prayer

This America we love is being shot at, and this is often from the inside. The 5th column was an enemy group made to fit in with everyone else, whether it was an army, or a country. We often can't see the enemy because Satan is the one behind this plan to destroy and to kill. Bottom line is WE NEED GOD. Pray and fast for this country, and it's leaders. If we don't pray look out. We will win only if we get cleaned up from our sin. Be serious with God about this, because God is already serious about answering. Love you all in Christ.

Lord give us eyes to see the times we are living in

A blind man can't see what is ahead of him. He walks slowly, often using a cane or stick to help him discern what is in his way. He can't use his physical eyes, for they don't work. Ummmmmmm this is like us. Unless we are in tune with God, we walk in blindness, and have to have some other means of sight to help us. Other means will turn us in the wrong direction. The Word of God is still true. Stick yer nose in it and grow, and let the fire of the Holy Ghost burn.

Last day of May 2010.

One of these days there will be no more days. Eternity is not measured in seconds, or minutes, or hours, or days but just is. Heaven is, and Hell is. There is no purgotory, or any other escape from Hell. If you live a sinners life, you will die a sinners death. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ Our Lord. Is Jesus your Lord? If not why not? It is the best life to live while you live. Fresh Fire today, and forever! Love you all so much. Thanks for your prayers.

Is. 55: 6 - 11

Seek the Lord. Wow. Seek means to search for. Do we take for granted that once we get saved there is no more seeking the Lord? When we eat do we take for granted that we will not need food again? Same case here. Good food equals lots of benifits like good health. Good Word will do the same except in a spirituall  way. If you had a spiritual examination what would be the results? Good, bad, or ugly? Let's get healthy in God ya'll what ya say? Praise God forever!

Have you ever wondered where the time went?

Time does not wait on anybody for anything unless the maker of time is in control. We can pray, and ask our Heavenly Father to help us with time and He will, when we pray in Faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Time and Faith will change situations, no matter what they are. Take time to talk it over with the author and finisher of our faith. Author = beginning, and Finisher = end = time. Time is an interval of seconds, and minutes, and hours, and days, and weeks, and months, and years. Eternity is beyond our understanding of time. I believe in the Bible. The Bible mentions eternal life and eternal punishment. Wow. Which way are you headed? Fresh Fire is life or death. Git right ya'll, and stay right.

The calm before the storm

Have you noticed the undertones of a storm coming on. Jesus said Watch and Pray. Signs of this coming storm are everywhere. If we follow Christ from a distance we can't see as clearly as if we could when were close to Him. Let me urge everyone to get close, to draw close, to seek Him with our whole hearts. Make sure your Fire is Fresh. Today. Love you each one.

Refreshing in the Spirit is the best refreshing

Do you remember running, and resting. There is no better time for refreshing after you have wore yourselves out running, and playing, and laughing, and shouting, and witnessing, and worshipping God with all your hearts, and all your souls. Of course if you have lost your enthusiasm, and the excitement of living you just need "Fresh Fire" to get you back on track. I'm talking about a new experience for those that have a need to do your first works over again. Matt. 11:28 - Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

Glorios, Victorious Resurrection day.

Thanks be to God for His wonderful gift. I am so thankful for the resurrection, and promise of abundant life. Thank God for Sis. Gayle and Bro. John Kirkpatrick for this web site, and for all the ones that have signed the questbook, and became a member of Fresh Fire Ministry. Love you all so much.

Happy Resurrection Day

3 days dead was enough for Jesus. He kicked death in the teeth and got up from that tomb. There is just something about death. Dead = no feeling, no movement, nothing said, or done. There is no challange in being dead, and No convictions. What about your life? Does it resemble death, or life. In real life we feel, we move, we say something, and we do something - By and For God. I love you each one and want you to know how much I appreciate your prayers, and your encouragements. God bless you abundantly everyone with Holy Ghost annointing, and Resurrection Power. Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

Repent or perish

Last night at the Shelby Co. Jail the Lord really blessed. Several got saved, a quite a few rededicated their lives to Jesus. I asked them to pray after me, I gave them the words to say, but I could not do a thing about their hearts. If a man is not convinced he is a sinner, and that sin stinks, and is convinced he can't save himself, and REPENTS, he can't be saved. This is the work of God. When it really is God's Spirit dealing with a man, the man is broken and this gives way for the Lord to move in and remove that sin. If the man gets up from the altar and does the same old things he was convicted of in the first place, there has been NO Conversion.. Repent or perish. This is God's Word, no if's, and's, or but's.

Spring has sprung but ..........

Friday was the official day of Spring. It was beautiful. I loved it, how about you? Today - Sunday - the thermometer is dropping as I speak. I understand life is like this. Sometimes we're up, and sometimes we're down. Thank God He never changes. He remains the same. We can trust Him no matter what. Keeping our Yes Fresh in God is not always easy, but is always possible. Let us lean heavy on Him, and take heart. We are winners in God. Praise God forever!

Without Holiness no man shall see the Lord

Holiness is one essential the Lord has made a requirement for any of us to see Him. What is Holiness? It is nothing we can do, because of our fallability. It is God in us, that removes our sin, and our desire for sin. It is conviction of anything not pleasing to God. We know it as a holy cleansing or Sanctification. Paul wrote to those Sanctified, so did Peter. Sanctification = Hagadion = Get the world out. No longer do we continue with the same stinking habits we had before we were saved, and sanctified. The blood of Jesus does the miricle of grace in our lives. Ask God for this doctrine called Sanctification, it is available for the asking. Some say I am trying to quit smoking, or drugging, or drinking, or what ever. Sanctified people have had the desire removed by the blood of Jesus. A second work of grace available to all that ask God thru Jesus Christ. So good to live Holy. Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good communications

Eph. 4:25 " Each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of  another. " How important it is for us to speak truthfully with one another. A lie is communication of the worst kind. You can only depend on truth, you cannot depend on a lie. Christ is pure truth. We can depend on Him all the time.

Watching the Biggest loser and thinking

It is easier to gain weight than to lose it. The biggest loser is about the one that has lost the most pounds. In the spiritual realm too many saints eat too few God calories to get their souls fat. We need to take heed to both our Souls and our bodies. Let us take heed to what God has to offer. It is good for us.

Encouragement is like adding fuel to the fire

Too many times we run out of excitement due to the attack of the enemy and all the heavy stuff that life is so full of. This is the time encouragement can help us make it. 1 Thes. 5:14--- has 14 exhortations. These exhortations are encouragements. If we follow Gods Word  we will  be be encouraged and this encouragement will cause us to encourage others. One good turn deserves another. A little encouragement is worth a priceless amount.

Our faith is not in the wisdom of men, but the power of God.

1 Cor. 2:5 says all we need to know about where our faith comes from, and where it is going. Faith is more than mere belief. It is so much more than that. Men believe in all manner of things but true faith comes from God for God. Idol worship comes in many forms, even our church can become Idols to us if we don't watch out. Keep your relationship fresh in God, and our faith stays alive. The Holy Ghost gives us power for service, and power to believe & have confidence in God.

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord " 1 Cor. 1:31 "

Glory means to "rejoice proudly". Before you jump ahead with the pre thought of proud anything let us think for a minute. Pride comes in two forms. Good pride is being proud of where you are, but knowing you didn't get there by yourself. You had help to reach this place and you acknowledge God and the others that helped you make this plateau. Bad pride is thinking you reached this place by yourself and doesn't acknowledge anyone but yourself. To glory is also to lift up in praise, and honor. Wow. What a great God we serve, and how awesome is He to usward not willing any should perish, but have everlasting life.
Keep your Yes Fresh in God, and give Him all the praise you can while you can. By the way it's OK with God to get a little radical with your praise, and I sure don't mind it either.

Enjoyed God today

How good it is to have a God we can enjoy. Some religions have some kind of diety they call God. The real God of the Bible is a good God, and not one that we can't know as a Savior or a friend. Once you know Him we can enjoy Him. Do you know Him today and do you enjoy Him?

Has God got our attention or does it matter to us about this?

We were all made by God for God. He will be first. He will never be last or second place. To what we give attention to is what is important to us. If Christ is important as He should be in our lives, then things fall into place like they should. He saved us and not we ourselves. Let us give Him our attention and He will in turn give us His attention. Wow how awesome is that ya'll?

Life is not fair - get used to it

This is something that has been quoted more times than we could count. Being a Christian does not change the world. It will change YOU. You and I and the millions that call Jesus the Lord and Savior of their lives can change the areas of the world we are part of. There is a song that says - Jesus be Jesus in me. No longer me but thee. Resurrection power fill me this hour. Jesus be Jesus in me. Life might not be fair because of sin. We don't have to let this ruin our relation with God. Keep the fire fresh ya'll. Praise God forever!

We serve a no limit God

We have an on time, all the time God. He can do anything, but He will not do everything. We have options. To obey or not to obey that is the question. We win in Jesus so why not obey and keep winning. Blessed is the man that Walks, Stands, and Sits at His feet.

When you pray things happen

Isaiah 43: 25 & 26 " I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions FOR MINE OWN SAKE, and will not remember thy sins. Put Me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thor mayest be justified." Notice the 4 words I have captilized. For Him but we get these good benifits of forgiveness, and grace. He recieves our admiration, and praise, and which He is surely worthy. Let us proclaim this message as our mission.

John 9:33

"If this man were not of God, he could do nothing." Is there anything too hard for God ya'll? No sir, No mam, there is nothing too hard for God. I heard the song from the Blackwood Brothers this morning - Learning to Lean. Do you think if we really trusted in Jesus, and leaned on Him for our support, that things would be different in our lives. There is only one way to Heaven and that is thru the Lord Jesus Christ who is God, and became man, so us folk could go to glory. Are you a real Christian? If not why not? If so draw close while you can, and lean Saints lean.

Jesus is as close as a brother

That is if you want Him to be. If we draw close to God, He said He would draw close to us. Burden's are lifted at Calvary. Christ died so we could live. There is no better life that we can have than to fellowship with Heaven, and singing Heavens songs is a result of our fellowship. Keep your Yes Fresh in God ya'll and the testimony we have will encourage others as well as ourselves.

Snow is white and can change the looks of everything

Christ will turn our black sin sick souls into white as snow clean souls. This will change the looks of everything. You will know it, and others will know it too. There is just something about clean that attracts quality. There is wonder working power in the Blood of Jesus. Don't plan on you never needing a re-do in your soul cleaning. You back slide on God you will pay dearly, and not just you. If you mess up - fess up. Fresh Fire means just that Fresh Fire. Keep your self in the love of God. Clean in God is a good way to live.

I picked up a piano yesterday

Man talk about heavy. My brother in law emcouraged me to pick it up and move it. I was more into rolling it when I could, but we had a long way to go. My brohter in law, Denny Rexroad , said you can do it. That is all I needed to hear. I picked  it up and together we moved that piano from one room, thru one room, and then another. Listen to me fellow Christians no matter how heavy a load you face you can do it. Thru Christ you can do anything.

Bless the Lord ya'll

Bless = Happy. Make God happy is what this is saying. How ,you may ask, can I make God happy? I as a father, always got to feeling pretty good when my children obeyed when I would ask them to do something. I think this would work for our relationship with God the Father too. The 10 commandments are not 10 suggestions. Obedience is better than sacrifice. What about it Saints? Bless the Lord all ye His Saints.
Here is your question - Are you His, or not? Are you Hot ,or Cold, or Lukewarm? Renew yourselves in Christ if you are not where you need or used to be ya'll. Keep your "Yes Fresh", and you will not be ashamed of God, or to God. Love you all. Praise God forever!

Jesus - Something about that name

Jesus is the answer for all the world to see.  Jesus came to set us free. J = Justice satisfied. E = Eternity insured. S = Suffering for us. U = Unity with God made possible. S = Salvation complete. Stay close to Jesus and keep your fire fresh.

Who are you walking with, and where are you walking?

To be alone is sure a sad affair. Depression, and hopelessness are kin. Get with God, and God's people and enjoy this journey to eternity. If we are not walking with God, we are walking with the enemy of our souls. If we are walking with God we are going to Heaven. A place prepared for the believer. A place of unexplainable beauty. The opposite is true if we are not walking with God. Hell is a place prepared for the unbeliever. Which way is your spiritual compass pointing?
