The wages of sin are too high to pay = Death

This is a fact. This is something the devil and the world doesnt't want you to know. Death is something promised by God, In fact we have an appointment with death, and an agreement with Hell. You might say that you are a good person. You don't think you deserve to die and go to a Hell, where there is no water, no air, no food, no love, no peace, no sight for it is pure blackness. Jesus said Come unto me, and I'll give you rest. We live and we die by the choices we make. Life or Death. Your choice. My choice. I choose life. Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Do you know what you believe?

Somebody asked another" What do you believe? The fellow told him I believe what my church believes. The somebody asked the fellow what does your church believe? He said it believes what I believe." Well around the world we go. What do you believe. You know this is one of the most important questions in your life. It can literally mean life or death. Jesus said He was the truth. He said that of Himself. Mohammed is not the truth. He WAS liar, a murderer, a whoremonger, and I believe a man possessed of the devil. Budda is dead, and so is all the other so called Saviors. What you believe is the uttimate question.
Hello everybody. I have just found where many of you have read and are currently reading this. I don't know much about how to operate this blog very well. I would love to talk with you, and tell you how much this means. Some of you from Japan, and other country's thank you. I can't understand your language but I can sense your heart, and spirit. May the Lord bless you. I did not know this was available for me to see. Love you all. Praise God forever!

Can we all say AMEN!

Amen = So be it. We surely can't say amen to just anything, and everything that happens in our lives. We can't pick and choose how everything, and everyone involved in our lives, are going to behave themselves. I just decide not to hate anyone, but I can't make those that decide to dislike me, or my choices in life, like me or my choices. I choose Jesus, and I choose His Word as my rule of faith, and practice, and discipline. I have decided to live as a Christian. I love living clean. I say AMEN to this over and over again.
How about you? Do you like the way you're living? Do you wish something would change in your life? Have you asked the life changer to come into your life, and change your life for good? If not, why not? The giver of life wants to change your life for the good. All He is waiting for is for you to ask Him. Won't you ask Him. Then you can say Amen with the rest of us that have trusted in the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Ps. 103 talks about us blessing the Lord

Have you ever wondered how you can bless the Lord? Ever ponder the question? With all our needs that we depend on God for, and all our plea's for help on a daily basis, how can we bless the Lord.
#1 is We acknowledge Him, and have surrendered to Him, in itself is a blessing to God. Too many people do not even take into account what the Lord does daily in our lives. Have you given the thought attention today of how much the Lord has helped you already on this Thursday morning at 9:15 am?
Read Ps. 103 and see how many benifits we recieve from God. Can you put yourself into the equation?
Praise Him Saints. Keep your relationship with God fresh. Fresh Fire today, and everyday. Love you all.

Be Determined

He that endureth to the end shall be saved. It is far better to keep to the fight and get knocked down a time or two, than to quit just because of a failure. A fight involves two. Jesus said He would be a friend to us that sticks closer than a brother. He will help us if the enemy is stronger than we can handle. The devil is not going to fight us alone, he is like a pack of dogs, they throw in together. We arm ourselves with the armor of God, and the fire of the Holy Ghost will help us win in any situation. Love you all.

Hey everybody

This is the day the Lord hath made, let us be glad and joyful with it. Just think the Lord of glory has given us 24 hours to do what we want to do, or not to do. It is the doer of the Word that will be blessed, and  that abundantly. Roll up your sleaves Christian and let us get to the work of the ministry. You are not saved for nothing, but to be vessel's of Honor, sanctified and meet for the Master's use. Fresh Fire today and everyday.

Wet wood = no fire

It is so important we get under the spout where the glory comes out. The rain of the Holy Ghost will fill us, and thrill us to the max. When we move away from God, instead of moving towards God, we allow the enemy to throw the waters of this world on us. You ever drop something important into some water, ( like documents, or birth certificates, etc. ), and find out untill they dry out they are of little use to you or others.
Satan wants to drown us in self pity, or pride, or condemnation, or anger, or sadness, or any number of things. Stay close to the fire my fellow Christians. A fire kept fresh is not likely to go out easily. Once a day, everyday, all day long. Pray, pray, pray, and fight, fight, fight this fight of faith. Stand like men and women of God. For if God is for us who can be against us?! Love you all.

I am a blessed man

I am part of a high integrity group of ministers, missionary's, pastors, and evangelist. These are Spirit baptised, Spirit led, serious men, and women for God, from all over the world. Wow. I am more armed than ever, and serious about being all God wants me to be. Praise God forever! Lookout for Fresh Fire ministrys is fixing to launch out into the deep. Would you pray about coming on board as a partner in this ministry. Praise God forever! Call me and let me know OK. Love you all.

U and football and eternity ?!

Sports are alright in it's place. Lot's go in to making a team worth watching and winning. Some are always gonna be better than other's. Some actually swear by their teams. Some are fans too the max.
Let us make sure we have our ducks in a row. Jesus, the Bible, Church attendence, and involvement.
If you agree with this call me, or e-mail me at rev.ed@att.net, 516-3427. Love you.

We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus

Last night in the Columbiana Jail the enemy was stirred up. I preached to 6-8 inmates while 40+ walked, talked, played cards, beat their shoes on the wall, a fight broke out, disrupting the whole concentration of the few listening to the gospel. One inmate got up from the table and said he was done. Everybody can just go to hell. I was overwhelmed, and felt mighty ineffective. I was feeling like I had done no good for anybody. I preached and taught, and prayed, and laughed, and love on them as best I could. Still the uproar of all this confusion was more than I had experienced to date. Upon leaving an inmate ask me - Bro. Eddie when are you coming back? Wow. Encouragement flowed thru me right then. I thru my shoulders back and said Next week the Lord be willing. Keep on the firing line ya'll, and never quit. Love you all in Jesus.

As in the days of Noah, and as in the days of Lot.

Have you watched the news lately and seen the floods, and seen the fires. All over the world. Before the coming of the Lord. Let us put this prophecy, and current events together. What does it look like to you?
I tell you now the coming of the Lord draws nigh. If the rapture took place today would you be among the chosen few to leave this world in the twinkling of an eye? If not, why not? God loves you more than you can even imagine. He will change your life to one of victory if you trust Him. Go ahead, I dare you. I double dog dare you to give Christ a chance. I promise you, you won't reqret it one bit. Love you.
I am trying to get this blog operational, and I know you really can't comment back to me now, but if you have read this, would you write me at pentecostaled@aol.com, or rev.ed@att.net. Tell me OK. I really want to communicate with you all that check out this website. Praise God forever!

How desperate are you for God ?????????????????????????????

I was told of an underground church in China. The visiting minister from America ask this question, What would you like to learn in these 2 weeks I have with you? They said we want to learn the Old Testament. He said I think we should pray that the Lord will give me the anointing to do this. They began to pray, and cried out to God for 2 hours. When they finished praying the places they were praying, laying prostrate, were puddles of water from their tears. For near 2 weeks for 18 hours a day, he taught them the 39 books of the Old Testament. 2 days left, the Pastor asked what would they like to know they all said the New Testament. For 20 hours a day in 2 days he was able to complete the study. Talk about hungry for God. Desperately hungry for God. I just wonder if I was this hungry, and you were this hungry for God, what this world would be like? Oh God let it be.

Prov. 16:2

The scriptures are true, from cover to cover. No lies are found there. No double talk, or hypocrisy. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Wow. Think about this ya'll. Ways = spirits. It all depends on what way you and I are in. Who are you following depends on the way you're going. Live like Hell and go there. Live like Heaven you'll go there. How is your relationship with Jesus today? Fresh Fire = Fresh relationship with the God of glory......... Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

How much God do you want?

Ever wonder how much God you can have. Once you surrender to Christ you have recieved the promise of eternal life, and enough God to make Heaven. The closer we get to God the more God gives us of Himself. We become His servants, and His witnesses. We can be Holy and rightours by being filled up with Him. Come on ya'll let us get more and more and more of God for an abundant life here, and Heaven later.

So close yet so far

Always know that the closer we get to God the more of God we need. I love to be in His presence, but I know there is more of His presence yet to come. Heaven is that unexplainable place prepared for those really prepared to go there. It starts with Jesus, is filled with Jesus, and ends with Jesus. We are more than forgiven, we are purchased (redeemed). Sanctification is a real experience thru the blood of Jesus that allows us to live without the desire for sin. Gal. 5 talks about Abrahams son Ismael being the type of the adamic nature. Cast him out God said. Thru Christ we can be saved, sanctified, and by faith recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. This is an awesome gift. Have you recieved the baptism of the Holy Ghost since you believed. Fresh Fire is a life changing experience. Pray for this ministry OK. Love you.

So Good

It is so good to have a Holy Ghost experience. Somebody asked me today about our church speaking in tongues. I said I am a pentecostal and this is something I do daily. She said that scares her, because she doesn't understand it. I said that is understandable, because she hasn't recieved the gift. God is still pouring out His Spirit and it is so good. Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed. If not, Why not?

Interest or Apathy

Interest in something will cause someone to do something with what ever it is that the interest is in. Apathy is a don't care attitude, a Whatever kind of thought. This is living death.
If you have lost your interest in God, the Bible, the Church, your Spouse, your kids, your life get back. Get back to the Cross, back to the Bible, back to  doing something in Church, back to dating your Spouse, back to loving your children. Fresh Fire today, and forever! Love you all.

66 books, 1189 chapters

Have you read your Bible today. If not, why not? The scriptures will help us make our life successful if we take it, we can make it. The middle verse of the whole Bible is Ps. 118:8 " It is better to trust in God than to put your confidence in man". Crack the Book and take a look ya'll. We win, if we surrender to Christ. Love you all.

Empty or Full

How full are you of the fullness of Christ. Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed? What about being Sanctified holy. In other words the desire for sin taken away. Nobody is going to make Heaven on watered down gasoling. We need to be full, and we need to be full on High Octane gasoline. Love you all.

Let us stand for God today

A dry noodle can stand up like a stick, a wet noodle is limp, has no strength to stand. Our backbone resembles one type of noodle. What kind of backbone do you have for God. Does anybody know you are a Christian? Are you imbarrased when somebody is talking to another about their souls? It could be the wet noodle syndrom. All Christians are in a battle, but some have decided to hide, and not fight. Get mad at Hell, and make sure your Yes is fresh in God, and stand up.

Praise is something that should be automatic

When a heart is right with God, then praise comes forth automatically. You don't have to prod it out, it just comes out. Word are merely the expression of our hearts.Curse word, negative words, demeaning words, are from a heart far from God. Is your YES fresh today in God. If not, why not. Call on the Lord today, and just go ahead and praise the Lord. Love you.

% of rain around

Rain takes place when the clouds get so full they have to empty theirselves of all the H2O. We get the benifit. It has been dry lately and it is sure good to see some rain a falling. How about comparing that to our Spiritual condition. Dry, so dry were dusty in the prayer closet, so dry it takes a feather duster to clean the Bible? Let us pray for rain, Holy rain, Holy Ghost rain, where the rain becomes fire. Fresh Fire from Heaven. Need an umbrella?

I sure can't point a finger at anybody

I have to answer for me, and you have to answer for you. God knows and that is a fact. I reckon if none of us ever messed up we would be a candidite for "Saint for the day". Let us weigh the cost of living our lives in Holiness, and/or Worldliness. We will only see God in Holy living. If I have offended someone I ask your forgiveness. If the Word offends you, by my or other preachers, I will not ask your forgiveness because it is not my word but God's. Love you each one, and I appreciate your prayer and support. Praise God forever!

What we need is a Soul Filling Station

Some of you Saints that have been around Pentecostal churches have seen the change taking place. Do we not rock the boat, and just let the tide of worldliness come on in. Or do we make a stand and hold to our convictions. We need Fresh Fire of the Holy Ghost. We need some Soul filling stations, pumping that High Octane Super Salvation today. Can you say amen. Talk to me somebody. Rev.ed@att.net.

As for God, His way is perfect:

Only God is perfect. We must strive to be the best that we can be. Slop jar Christianity is a bad testimony. Ps. 18: 30 says " As for God, His way is perfect : the Word of the Lord is tried : He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. ". God is perfect, the Bible ( I prefer King James ), has been tried and found flawless. God will keep us connected if we trust in Him.
This tell's me our trust in God will keep us together. Fresh Fire is exactly what takes place when we trust in God. No old experiences are allowed in this Buckler business. New or Fresh, and relavant fire from the Holy Ghost is needed Now, and tomorrow. How's your walk with God? Call me we can talk, and pray, and believe, and trust, and love, and grow together. Bind Satan with your trust in God. Whewwwwww!!!!

Let us keep praising our King

Jesus was born King. A 7 way King. King of the Jew, King of Isreal, King of Rightousness, King of the ages, King of Heaven, King of glory, King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. That is our King.
All of our loyalty should be given to Jesus, all of our trust in eternal things starts and ends with Jesus.
There is stiill room for us at the foot of our King. Come and let us worship Him today, and forever! Amen!

Enjoy the 4th of July

The 4th of July for America is a day of celebration for our freedom from national bondage. All other countries are looking at America to see how we handle our freedom. The president we have and the democratic leaders, and other liberals would have us try to conform to other nations.
I salute our troops, and heroes in uniform, but I would not walk across the street to hear some of these in office today. I will pray for them but I will not support them as far as their adgenda is concerned.
This country needs God back in His rightful place. Fresh Fire today, and forever!

God orders repentence

In Acts 17:30 the scripture says "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men to repent:". God commands repentence. When God commands something God has a reason for it.
Repentence is being sorry for sin, and turn from it, not live in it. To live seperately in Holiness is something required of us to make Heaven. If you mess up, fess up, and God will pick you up, and get you ready to go up. Love God ya'll. Keep your relationship with God alive.

Freedom isn't free

Freedom has never been free, and will never be free. I want to say thanks to all the Vererans, and their families. My Mom, and Dad, were both WW II vets. I am a Vietnam era vet. My son Eric is a vet. How proud it makes me to know this freedom I love, and enjoy. It has been paid for by men, and women, black, & white, red, & yellow, brown, & black. I salute each one.
God bless America is still our prayer, and so much more as we see the enemy of our freedom roaming to and fro seeking whom he may devour.
Let us never take for granted our freedom, or our blessings, and where they came from, and who paid the price. It starts with Jesus, the author, and finisher, of our faith. If it wasn't for Him there would be no freedom anywhere. God bless America. Amen.

It is time

Have you ever wondered how long will it be before the Lord wraps this Gospel business up? I think it wise for us to know that time is something in His hands, and we just need to hold on to the truth of His Word, and not be anxious for anything. I know it is preached many a time that anytime the rapture could come. It is true, but God knows a whole lot more than we do when it all fall's into His plan. Live each day like it is your last, and enjoy it like it is your first taste of victory. Do you remember your first taste of Heaven? If not, or if it has been a long time since you've tasted Heaven, come back to the altar and confess your sins, and situations to our heavenly Father thru Christ, and by the moving of the Holy Ghost your life will be changed.
