I am pleading with you NOW! Believe in Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, and follow Him NOW! (Receive the Holy Spirit; Ask God to come into your life NOW!)          IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND ___________              Jesus Christ John 14:6, "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."                                     The Bread of Heaven John 6:48-51, "I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”     The Bread of Heaven John 6:57-58, "Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” The Word of God Revelation 19:11-13, "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God."                                  The Word of God John 1:1-4,14, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind."..."The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."                           The Holy Bible Deuteronomy 17:19, “It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees.”     Matthew 4:4, "Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.''"                            __________       So what does this mean?                    Jesus Christ John 10:27, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."                                                               The Holy Bible   1 Colossians 1:9-10, "We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,"                                What should you do starting today?   Talk to God Daily  Repent Every Day  Consume the Bread  Follow What it Says         GET TO KNOW CHRIST! God forewarns us of those that do not value the Word of God in Romans 1:28-32, "Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."       Please, heed this warning!       God gave a way for each of us to get to know Him down through the centuries. It truly is genius! The apostles and the authors of the books of the Holy Bible were God's tools which were used to tangibly reach His children. As it says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."          Being a child of God your appetite for the Word of God should be healthy. 1 Peter 2:2, "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation."       Feed upon the Word everyday without fail. The more you eat, the faster you will grow. Be like Job in Job 23:12, "I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread."      If you commit yourself to spending some quiet time everyday you will grow in your relationship with the Lord and gain in wisdom and understanding. Read it or even listen to His Words a chapter or two or even five chapters a day instead of mindlessly plugging into the variety of mediums available today you will be consuming the very bread of heaven that will feed you for eternity. God is a relational God. Your attention and desire to be with Him matters to Him.       Just like the food we eat to sustain our physical bodies, there may be times of pure enjoyment and excitement for the Word of God, and other times it may be like eating the vegetables mom prepared for dinner when we were kids. It may be boring and dry at times where you have a desire to do something else, however the discipline of eating while you do not necessarily crave it, benefits us greatly over time. And it's those "vegetable" days that God often uses to fill us with His wisdom for a later time.        I cannot say it any better than God said it Himself;       From John 6:53-58, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."       You are feeding your soul for a time when you will meet Christ and be in heaven forevermore. To eat the flesh of the Son of Man is to feed upon the bread of heaven i.e. the Holy Bible; and to drink His blood is to believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. It's kind of like the saying you must drink the kool-aid which means you must BELIEVE...It's that simple!      Find a way to read or listen to God's Word everyday! Use our ministry as a resource to help further your growth and strengthen your faith every moment you can.       Put the time aside. Make it an appointment....MAKE THE TIME!            Watch to better understand your relationship with God   Did the Holy Bible really come from God? ... WATCH the NEXT VIDEOS!                 Viewer Discretion is advised for the first 5 minutes of the episode 1 of 12 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrOTz4sLbzA  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLR2YbPC7Ow 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drOf9NPfzeg3 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1458yPB469I 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMD3j9TfHDM      ADDITIONALLY, __________  You have been given a command, a commission by God to share the Good News of Christ with others. This is not something you can simply dismiss or ignore. God wants you to sow the good seed (The Parable of the Sower). As it says in 1 Peter 3:15, "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."      Here is something you can do right now...        With thought and prayer, try to fomulate your testimony. How would you explain yourself; your faith, and your confidence in Christ. Write it down on paper or type it so that you can work on it. Once it comes together, learn it, study it, memorize it so that you can be confident when you speak to people.        You will truly be amazed at how responsive people will be to you. Many people are thirsting for the living water that you have. Some will not; but it is not your concern as to who responds to God's calling. You are simply to be obedient to God. From 1 Corinthians 3:8-9, "The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building."        Also, sometimes God is simply testing you, and not for that particular person at all. The point is just start growing in your knowledge of the Lord and begin the process of growing up in your salvation.                                  I could never adequately pay God back, so I just pay it forward!                        Use all the resources made available at Know the Bible ministries! God may have you only reach one person or three, but those people may go on to reach others, and then those people go on to reach still more people. You reaching out to one person may change the lives of countless people. So do not dismiss your influence in the grand scheme of things. You may be the start of something grand that you may never even realize (The Butterfly Effect). Your impact will be determined by God. Simply trust in God and reach that Lost Sheep.                     Strengthen your faith and grow in your knowledge of God. Put on the Armor of God! Pray to God asking Him to help you reach the people God has placed on your heart to reach. And most importantly, ACT on those prayers. Start talking to those people. Our sincere hope is that God has placed our ministry in your path so that we can be of some help as you witness to people for Christ. Why sit on your hands and do nothing? Don't become the seed among the thorns in Matthew 13:18-23, "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Parable of the Sower) Gain the perspective of other Christians knowing that you have a place to go when death knocks on your door. You do not have to fear the unknown, because you know exactly where you're going; unless you are not one of God's children.          Watch the series of videos below to help you open your eyes on this important topic.

Think hard about that! Fear is gone and replaced with anticipation and excitement! Don't you want to have that?                             ARE YOU READY TO COME TO CHRIST?            ___________     Where will you be in a hundred years from now? It is not an accident that you are here now.         Is He pressing on your heart today?    Can you feel Him pulling you?     Are you ready to receive Him now into your heart in a new way?       If you're not sure, come and make sure NOW!...Don't wait any longer!      No matter what you have done in the past whether it be drugs, alcohol, lust, hatred, etc...     The blood of Jesus Christ will cover ALL your sins and make you a brand new person in Jesus Christ. All you have to do is TRULY BELIEVE in Him. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was for all mankind. It is a free gift from God.    You must accept that gift though.      It is not enough to believe that a parachute will save you from a fall. You must actually put it ON!      You will never make a bigger decision in your life. So please watch the next video right now. Your life is about to change forever.               You will want God in your life after this video!           CLICK the pictured icon below to watch the video.                      Before you go to bed this very night, find a place alone and quiet and get down on your knees and pray to God. You do not need to know any pre-conceived prayers or rituals or sayings. You only need to come to Him and speak from your heart. Thank him for saving you. Thank Jesus for taking your sins away and dying on that cross for you. Thank Him for raising from the dead and defeating death once and for all and allowing you a way to be with God forevermore. Ask Jesus to give you guidance and mercy during this new age of your life for you are a newborn child of God. Repent of your sins from here on out confessing them every night as you pray to Him. Be humble, thankful, and repentant! After that begin reading the Word of God also known as the Holy Bible. You do not have to read it all in one night! Read one chapter or two at a time everyday. The gospel account of the Book of John in the New Testament is probably the best place to start. Another place to begin is by reading and learning the 10 Commandments of God located in the the book of Exodus, chapter 20 or in Deuteronomy, chapter 5. The Law of God (i.e. The 10 Commandments) is the standard by which every man and woman will be judged. You will see that we all fall short of the glory of God. The Law brings about the standard of God to our conscience so that we can recognize sin in our lives, avoid it, and seek true repentance when we fall. Understand no one can keep the Law. That is what brings us to the realization that every single one of us needs a Savior. That is the biggest difference between God's children and those that are not. They know they need God. We need God to save us. The Law shows us that. It also shows us that we ALL should be on our knees with a humble heart.  One thing that we should also know is that confession is only a part of repentance. It does not give us license to sin. We cannot just continue to live a life of sin and use confession as a "get out of jail free" card. Follow the Word of God! It was given to us as a way to live life more abundantly. We should always try to live our life with God following His Word trying to please Him like a child trying to please his father.  Try to learn one of the 10 Commandments each day in consecutive order starting with the first Commandment,      "Thou shall have no other gods before Me."      The reason you want to learn each one in order is that once you learn them in order, you will NEVER forget them again! You will burn them into your memory by doing it in this manner. The next thing that you should do is find a church that honors the Word of God, believes that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, that He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God. Try to go to church as often as you can not to earn your way into heaven but to strengthen your faith and embolden you to share what has happened to you in your life. And lastly, start to share your faith. Tell others what you have found. You can find several resources here at Know the Bible ministries to help you reach out to loved ones and friends. Your testimony is the best effective witness you have. Don't be afraid! Be excited. One of the ways that brings you closer to the heart of God is by reaching out to the lost in this world for God. We have been given a purpose in this world and it is not to cover the light God has put into each one of us. It is to shine that light in a dark and perishing world. We are to be salt seasoning people to receive the "Good News" (the gospel) of Christ. God wants us to fulfill the Great Commission! God is NOT asking every one of us to witness to thousands of people, or even hundreds. Some are given 1 talent; some are given 5 talents, and some are given 10 talents. The point is do not hide those talents that God has given you. The Parable of the Talents also known as the Parable of the Bags of Gold (Matthew 25:14-30) is a great explanation of what God wants us to do. Remember too, the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-7) which goes onto explain the value God has put on one person who comes to Him. The point is reach the people that God has put in your sphere of influence! It may be only 1 or 2 or even 3 people in your life that God wants you to reach for Him. Find a way to reach them. Use Know the Bible ministries as a resource to do that very thing!     Do not be discouraged by the immediate results of your witnessing. You may be the planter of the seed, the waterer, or the harvester. You don't know which one you are at that very moment. Let God do the rest! You are simply to be obedient to God. As the saying goes, "You are responsible for the results of your disobedience, God is responsible for the results of your obedience."
