He is no fool, who gives what he cannot keep, to gain, what he cannot lose.

In The Mirror

Look in the mirror what do I see
I see a girl that looks like me
I look deep into her eyes
To my surprise all I see is misery
The look on her face is such a disgrace
She feels like she shouldn’t be at this place
Like she needs her own space
She seems alone
Like she can’t find a place to call home
The look in each eye
It looks like she wants to cry, I see fear
Then she suddenly develops a tear
When I looked deeper inside
It seems like all these things she tries to hide
They say mirrors show your reflection
But in this one it shows different affections
Look in the mirror what do I see
I see a girl that looks like me

…he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16 – 18 KJV

Now let’s look at the book of John. …Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:64 – 66 KJV

What is it that the enemy (Satan) would have us do? Would he not have us to turn our backs on Jesus? I don’t believe there are any coincidences in God’s word. Therefore, it’s not just by chance that John 6:66 (666) speaks of turning away from Jesus to walk with Him no more.

To turn from Jesus and walk away, isn’t this just what the enemy would have us do? When things in this life we are living seem too much to bare, just stand… Stand on God’s word, and stand on God’s promises. …for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

“Worship Conspiracy” Lyrics, by: Disciple

vance — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 04:18:05 +0000

They ride all around town
Get me to believe what they found
They knock on my door saying Jesus is not the Lord

Pray to buddha every day
Put us to shame in every way
Muslim fasting forty days
We can’t lift our hands in praise

God deserves more than what we’re giving Him

Bow to piece of wood
But it won’t do them any good
Meditate on false light while we sit and watch the day go by

Observe all traditions while we sleep late on Easter morning
They fall on their face while we just abound in grace

Worthy (Revelations 4:11; 5:12)
Every knee will bow tongue confess that Jesus is Lord (Ephesians 2:10- 11)
Worthy every knee will bow tongue confess that Jesus is Lord

“I Just Know” by: Disciple

I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I just know Jesus is my God

what makes you different from one another
why do you argue about who you follow
there is no man that you belong to
there’s only one God that can claim you

I don’t care if you don’t speak in tongues
I don’t care if you’re into submersion
what does it matter if wear a liturgical robe
or prophesy and say God said so

I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God
I know that Jesus is the way
I know that Jesus is the truth
I know that Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God

do you serve your name or do you serve mankind
would you feel the same if they took down your sign
could you sit next to me if I was Baptist or Presbyterian
or do I need to be a charismatic or Episcopalian

I don’t care if you drink grape juice or if it’s wine
and I don’t care if you get out of church on time
what does it matter if you praise God with music in your church
or you burn your dead or bury them six feet in the dirt

I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I just know Jesus is my God
I know that Jesus is the way
I know that Jesus is the truth
I know that Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God

I don’t care if you clap your hands
I don’t care if you get out in the aisle and dance
what’s it matter if someone lets out a hallelujah shout
have we forgotten what praising Yahweh is all about

Deuteronomy 4:29-31 KJV

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Revelation 21:1-3 ESV

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

“The only exercise some people get is jumping at conclusions, running down their friends, sidestepping responsibility, and pushing their luck.”

“A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world—and might be even more difficult to save.”
