    Advice: Ask God, the Holy Spirit to illuminate “the” message for Sunday morning. Not “a” message as He knows what the sheep need most. He’ll show you, what He inspired years ago. Praise Jesus Christ Hallelujah

      It is written; 6 days shall tho labour but on the 7th rest....again; and I beheld another horn grew and plucked up 3 horns. He had eyes like a man and mouth speaking great thing. He seek to CHANGE LAWS & TIME and weary down the saints of THE MOST HIGH.
      The Roman Catholics openly came and told us that they changed the laws & time under their judiciary branches, starting 1st day worship, etc......follow THE COMMANDMENTS AND LIVE.....

    I don’t exactly preach but I lead a Bible study and my parents are probably the youngest attendees and we are going through Matthew. We are finishing up ch 5, it’s been about 15 weeks in chapter 5 alone and one thing I think is important in each study is to include what role these verses play in the gospel. Most of the time I write what I think and then I’ll listen to what John says and a lot of the time he says something and I’m like “that’s what I said!” I like to use his references from the Old Testament because he is obviously more informed of more of the word. I think my biggest problem is my layout, I’ve tried using the manuscript method where you write in paragraph form but I normally just have like a thousand bullet points, I’m sure there is a better way but I don’t know it. I’d like to go to seminary to learn how to present it better but for now I’m doin what I can and I pray the spirit translate all my poor public speaking abilities. Anyway pray for our Bible study, you who read this and pray that the gospel is heard! Jesus is King.

    We may excuse the spiritual poverty of our preaching in many ways, but the true secret will be found in the lack of
    [urgent prayer]
    for God’s presence in the power of the Holy Spirit.
    There are preachers innumerable who can deliver masterful sermons after their order; but the effects are short-lived and do not enter as a factor at all into the regions of the spirit where the fearful war between God and Satan, heaven and hell, is being waged because they are not made powerfully militant and spiritually victorious by - "prayer."
    The preachers who gain mighty results for God are the men who have prevailed in their pleadings with God ere venturing to plead with men.
    The preachers who are the mightiest in their (closets) with God are the mightiest in their pulpits with men.
    A Holy Revival of Prayer Closet Christianity would be Glorious results for The Kingdom of God.

      My friend, let me help you to understand the world that you live in.
      Firstly, I'm not on the side of these hypocrites and generation of vipers who calls themselves pastors but are truly the synagogues of satan.
      1. Did the Roman Catholics tell you that they crucified GOD, because he preached against religion and that there is only 1 GOD (THE COMMANDMENTS/himself)?
      2. Did the Roman Catholics tell you that even after they killed GOD and he was risen, that they extacted 14 different books from bible and changed the laws × (by creating a system which includes schools, tax, etc) under their own judiciary, turning the entire world against GOD and is responsible for the trinity doctrine and Christianity?....they even teach in their churches that the KJV Bible is curruped because it foretold their actions (Daniel chapter 7, all 4 gospels, revelation chapter 13, etc)
      I tell you my friend, Catholicism is fake. No rosary, nor religion, nor any tradition can save you....only LOVE (THE COMMANDMENTS)....study the KJV Bible....follow THE COMMANDMENTS AND LIVE.
