Volume I August 2006

The ‘WOW’ Newsletter

As most of the World sits back and watches and hears of the wars, conflicts and troubles throughout our World in which we now live, do we pay any attention to its’ meaning? As we watch on the nightly news or read in the papers or on the web, are we complacent just to read and hear of the conflicts, or do we offer assistance in prayer? God tells us that prayer changes things and that it is the fervent prayers of a righteous man that availeth much. Do we just shrug it off and tell ourselves that; so-what, it is not affecting me?

Prayer is the key to anything God does. Prayer is the only thing which will change God’s mind when He has set things in motion. Prayers of the righteous man does availeth much! There are so many things being said, by so many people, as to the meaning of the conflicts in the middle east and all around the world right now. People’s beliefs range from the beginning of the end times, Armageddon; to so-what and what conflicts. With over 6 and 1/2 billion people on this world which we all live on, you will hear, read and you will even say things, many things, as to the wrong, right or indifference of the goings on in the middle east and around the world. Who is right, what comments are right, what comments are wrong or who is wrong? Does it matter to you what will become of these conflicts? Do you have an opinion or comment?

God says in His word, to me, in my faith, that He has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we may have peace because in the world there is tribulation, conflict and war. The fundamentals of any war is religion and people’s beliefs. Whether you believe in Christ Jesus as the Son of God or you believe in your own faith; but always, faith is believing in the same God who has made all men, all women and all things. We, man, must believe that your God is the same God for all of mankind and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The Giver of all life is God, the reason of our beliefs is Jesus, Allah, Mohammed or other deities and the One who oversees all of this is the Holy Ghost, GOD.

God is the God of love and peace but with a strong arm and demands obedience in His words. All through the Holy texts, God speaks of His love and demands His obedience and He tells mankind of the rewards of this obedience. Ifmankind can learn that God does not like the war, conflict and turmoil; that it is love which He desires and the obedience of His words, mankind would learn that heaven is made for all faiths and beliefs, but only called by different names. One God, many beliefs and one heaven!

Why does man have to fight, kill and destroy what God has created? Is it God’s way to test man to see if man is worthy to enter his, God’s, heaven? The test for mankind is for man to live with all the faiths they believe in and learn the love part of God through their faiths instead of the war part of God through their faiths. God, the same God to all mankind, has given man many faiths and beliefs to believe in, with many different ways to live and how to live. It is up to man, individually, regardless of their faith, to decide which path he will travel and which parts of his faith and beliefs he elects to live. Heaven is only waiting on God’s elect!

I can only give you scriptures in my beliefs, my Bible. I can give you single scriptures for war; love; tooth for tooth, eye for an eye and reasons for hell and reasons for heaven. In any belief, single phrases, words or passages will say to do this or do that, for this or for that; but reading and understanding the whole writing is the reason one will succeed in going to heaven. Just taking single passages or phrases will and does lead, by faith, to war or to conflict and to hell.

Do not misunderstand or misconstrue me and my beliefs. I am a believer in Christ Jesus, as the Son of God, and am living in His words and by His words the very best I can and know how. I am a fanatic in the Word of Jesus and live as close to His Words as I possibly can with the knowledge that no one is perfect except Jesus Christ Himself, in my beliefs. I also know what His Words say about war, conflict and turmoil.

My prayers are for mankind’s peace and that God’s perfect will be done in all aspects of my life and my surroundings. I am not naïve enough to believe that God made man to kill man. Man needs to let man’s differences be their strengths and to teach others the ways of God in their beliefs without the sectarian hatred and violence destroying the good things of God and what He has initiated from the very beginning of time.

Is this possible? NO? YES? Of course this depends on man as this single individual.

My faith believes that if you do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God you will not inherit the kingdom of God. My faith also tells me to love one another and to get along with all man regardless of, as my country has put it, their faith, race or creed. In man’s religions or their faith or their beliefs, man, by their beliefs and actions and ways of life, decides their own fate. Will it be love, the universal language, or will it be parts of your belief’s writings?

All of mankind’s personal religions has been decided by God from the very beginning of time. The place on this world where God put you to be born has decided for you the religion you will believe in. It is up to you, as this individual, by your faith in your beliefs, to help bring peace among all of God’s creation and not the wars. Is this possible? To bring peace among all of God’s creation? The power of prayer is awesome! What would happen if all of the people on this world, all 6 and 1/2 billion, would pray in their own ways for the peace of the world and not for the wars of this world??? Would peace reign in the world?

Remember, prayer changes things and it is the prayers of the righteous man that will be answered. Righteous, in any religion! Righteous, in God’s eyes! Righteous, in all faiths! Righteous, the freedom from sin, the removal of one from the bounds of hell and the rewarding of a life time of living Godly and living the ways of God with God. All things are possible with God! Would you like to find out?

Other faiths, other religions and other ways of life have brought the differences in man that have caused the strife and wars that have plagued mankind since recorded time. Even though God has put man where God has wanted him to be and God has allowed all the religions of the world, even Satanism, to flourish and to grow where they are today, man has the final say as to how man desires to live his life and his religion. So, it is man’s choice as to which way he chooses to live, which religion or which part of his religion he chooses to live by and it is man’s choice as to the love and peace part of his religion or his warring part of his religion he chooses to live.

Can man change, in the ways of his thoughts, regarding his total religious upbringing? Can man change from the indoctrinating mind control and bending of one’s ways concerning the ways of man’s own religion? Man is constantly at war and is constantly putting the blame of this war on his religion. The blame is put on his religion, the "tooth for a tooth" and an "eye for an eye" part of his religion and not the part of his religion which teaches one to love thy neighbor as one loves his own self. This part is not what man sees, as he has been mind controlled in the warring faction of his religion.

Sin, maybe not the warring kind as is in other nations of this world now, is also a type of warring within man’s own self, the fight of good over evil. Man’s battles within one self is as deadly as the wars man fight with each other for religion’s sake. To defeat both the warring part of man’s religion and the sin within man; man must, in both occasions, discard the negative and obtain the positive part of man’s own religion in one’s self. Love, not war, will bring about harmony and peace to all the nations of this world. My beliefs allow me to believe that in God’s heaven there will be no war, no strife; no, not even will there be any crying any longer. Is this possible? Is faith in God, as the God of love, which is in all of man’s religions, is this the part of man’s religion man elects to discard? If this is the case, then wars and riots and conflicts will be until the end of time! This, I believe! What can man do? What can man say to stop all of the wars and fighting?

Man can not stop the wars! Man can not stop the fighting! Man must start first within himself, to quell the disturbances within himself; before he, man, can stop the wars. Pray for the peace within oneself and then obtain this inner peace and quiet the violence, disturbances and conflicts within your own self first. Then pray, pray unceasingly, for the peace of the world and continue praying until the wars and conflicts cease. Then and only then, will peace of earth occur!!!

To me, a man with no college degree, no formal training in the doctrines of man and no knowledge of the workings of other religions, have read and studied my bible and believe in my beliefs and can find nowhere in my bible, where the wars will end except by the coming of Christ Jesus when He sets up His Kingdom. Other religions, well, … . I do know for a fact: PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!!! Try it, repent of your sins, and pray!
