Short teaching " the scariest verse in the bible Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,ye that work iniquity.
 
Matthew 7:13 : Enter by the narrow gate;for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
14: :Because   narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,and there are few who find it.please make time and read this whole chapter.
This is a revelation from God to me.Jesus say is "difficult is the way" and He also say I'm easy and my burden is light and we have victory, we are child of the king and on and on all about how easy He is to get saved and deliver and get filled with the Holy Ghost.then here He saying it is "difficult is the way" what he is saying is this " when we were traveling on that wide and board way we carried lots of sins with us,because we have room to carry them,but now we get on this narrow way we don't have the room to carry them,that's why is difficult to carry them. so if you are having difficult time following Jesus,please seek the Lord for you're trying to carry the world on this narrow way.the world won't fit on this narrow way.
God bless you all and see you at Native rally

John 1:3 // And when they ran out of wine,the mother of Jesus said to Him, "they have no wine" I honor mother across our great state,a mother who Love God and everything about God,the one who Love Jesus. lets not forget that Jesus is our chief cornerstone of our beliefs and the way we serve God.Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life,no one comes to the father except through Me John 14:6.I've been around revival for many years now about 16 years now,I've notice some Christians don't focus on Jesus.there more focus on speaking in tongue,or being filled with the Holy Ghost or prophesy or miracle or on the glory of God.don't misunderstand me I'm all for those things I mention.but it take Jesus to have those things to come to pass.If you want to speak in tongue it take Jesus to do that,if you want miracle or prophesy it take Jesus to do that.and so on. It take Jesus the son of the living God to have all the gifts and fruit of the Spirit that comes from God.
I know it take Jesus to have the presence of God filled the room,or to experience the glory of God and it take Jesus to see the cloud of Glory.it takes lifting up Jesus to have a sinner walk down to the cross to get saved and delivered from sin and the devil.
""It takes Jesus"" to have God reward you
Here Mother Mary said to her Son "they have no wine"
It a blessing to know when we run out of things to do for God we can always come to Jesus and say to Him I have nothing left to give.belief me Jesus always find a way out of your trouble or problem or your sin.
At times I feel like I have nothing to give or I feel down and ready to give up or just quit the whole thing.that's when I come to Jesus and say" I have no wine"then Jesus lift me up He put me back together.that's when Jesus will turn your troubles and problem into a blessing.
Praise God thank you Jesus.
Verse 4&5 "what ever He say to you "Do it" I like that when He said DO IT.it's time to do it
It time to do the things that Jesus want us to do or I should say command us to do.It's time to "do it"whatever we learn in Chapter one.have encouraged us to preach the word,that's what John the baptist did. He preach about Jesus he pointed to Jesus.In chapter one we seen Jesus understood John message about Savior of the world "behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.so don't neglect or skip what Jesus want you to do today.praise God God is good for He send His only Son Jesus for us.while we were yet a sinners Christ died for us.Praise God so today if you're down Look up to Jesus or call upon His name. Only then can He lift you up. call upon His name Jesus."DO IT'
God bless YOU ALL
Pastor Gary Simple loves you

Look at St. Stephen in Act 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Ghost. Read the whole chapter 6

Stephen is full of faith so he trusted God and God show him where is he is going before he died.

Praise the Lord and God bless you all and again I say thank for all your giving to my ministry and works that need to be done in Alaska. I've been invited to go other places, but my heart and work for the Lord here in Alaska is to important for me to go anywhere else.

This is for those who been giving and giving all these years to my ministry and to those who just started giving this will be your reward to.

1 John 8; Look to your selves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, But that we may receive a full reward.

Hebrew 11:6 He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him

Get ready, for your reward is coming from the throne room of God. be ready brother and sister and receive in Jesus name.

God is in rewarding business

*****************************************John 2:1&2********************************************
1:On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee,and the mother of Jesus was there.                                                                                                                  2:Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
Praise God is it wonderful to be invited to wedding,when it's your home town or I should say in your area.Our Lord  Jesus properly knows lots of people there.just like us here in the Yukon flats we know each other,to tell you I properly know about 600 hundred people by face and by name, also know their parents and also grandparent,I even know their kids and grand children.so Jesus wasn't a stranger in Cana.because they even invited His mother Mary.
We need to pray for our young people now days,because here in Yukon flats we don't hear about wedding anymore.were not invited to wedding anymore or see invitation card,because our villages have adopted just living together is good enough.
Even here in Venetie we haven't had a wedding for quiet a while I  don't remember when was the last one.I think about 10 years ago,I could be wrong about the 10 years.
We have numbers of young people just shacking up and their Kids is growing not knowing what family means and they never will until their parent get married.So lets pray for our young people here in Alaska,so they can see what they are doing to their kids.
Margo and I we've been married now for 21 years and our kids know about family value and blessing that comes with it.
I remember what my elder say about shacking up.He said when you're shacking up.it's like you're visiting your girl friend year round.that's why we see when a man is shacking up,he don't build anything around on the house or don't try to provide for his kids and they mostly hang around and watch TV.and when they get money they take a vacation for booze or use the money for drugs.
Maybe we're to blame maybe it's time for us to talk to young people about marriage and why it's important and blessing to their kids and family.
Praise God now is the time we stand up for marriage life. and show our young people about marriage life,how good it is and wonderful it is.
I haven't been to Ft. McPherson Canada.NWT for a while now,I used to go there every spring and also in November,I did that for years after years.Over there after you been with each other 7 years you're automately married,they called it common law marriage.I remember few unmarried couple started coming to revival and finally one of them got saved and then others later on. but what it did was it started wedding revival.
The priest Robin called me up and told me what was happening there after I left Ft.Macpherson.He told me that he did about 6 wedding already past 3 month .he told me 2 wedding a month  and he told me he is planning few more wedding and counseling more couples for marriage.He said I've been waiting for this for a long time now it's happening,praise God he said.I think we can do this every where, if it works in Canada it sure will work here.but who is willing to go,who is willing to go to one village year after year
until they see young people getting married.all you have to do is preach the word and pray for people and also ministered to the church body.that's all I did for many years and it works.yes I'm planning to go back to Canada.
Praise God for His faithfulness and goodness.
Thank you for all your support in finance and prayer.
Just want to encourage you to keep giving to my ministry,because we sure need it to reach the lost and those who are hurting and families who is ready to break up.families are being target by the devil and so we should target families this year,but is going to take all of us to get it done,because we know the devil is never done,so we to we'll never be done until Jesus comes.
This year I'm picking a village that I will visit 2 times a year,one in spring and winter.you should do the same.there is over 300 hundred villages to pick from.so if you need help to pick one or you need me to introduce you or go there with you Just ask me.we;ll take it from there.                                                                                                                  I've been to 91 villages so far and I have lots of connection.these villages are blessing,they are all friendly and ready to support you.you know I just want to thank you for supporting me all these years.Your support have open up lots of villages for the Gospel,now God want to reward you for supporting me and now is the time for you to start taking advantage of these great opening into the villages.just contact me on this email if you want to go.                                                                                                                        
 
God bless you and again thank you for all your support and prayer
Love you all

*wisdom of God psalm 127:1*************************************
Unless the Lord builds the house.They labor in vain who build it;Unless the Lord guards the city,The watchman stays awake in vain.
Praise God I've just finish a canvas canoe.and it took quit a while,because it takes about 3 days If I put all day working on it.but it's better to take your time when one is building canoe.I was trying to finish before the hunting season is over ,but because I didn't have a ATV it took be longer.I finish it yesterday.
I know we're living in the season of discipleship,getting people ready to met Jesus in the air or help them to understand leading others to the Lord.getting them ready,. equipping them to reach the world for Jesus.
 
It's been that way for last 2 years for me I try to preach the word like real hard and wants to strengthen those Christan out.Because I can see where they are wrong and what they need and I try and try to preach that but it seem like it's not working.but past year I've been teaching the word.
1st.
God been teaching me as I build this canoe,it;s like this I went out a look through the forest look for the right tree.when I find the right tree I could have cut out the canoe right there I could make it look like a canoe with my chainsaw.but it will have limited use.I could sit on it and try real hard not to tip over.sometime it's like that in the church the pastor trying to build a church and cut out all the wrong and strengthen out what needed to strengthen out.it look like a church,but it's unstable people there always struggling or some walking the fence.trying real hard not to tip over.
That's why I know it's a season for teaching,for me anyway,maybe others feel different then me about this,maybe because they feel uncomfortable teaching.I used to be that way myself,I feel like I gotta shout,tell it like it is,run around,dance down the Aile and have  people laughing or getting slain in the spirit. all of these are still working today and I'm not saying it don't work anymore or saying that it won't again.
It still happen in my revival when I do outreach for the lost,because without the power of God no one will be saved and delivered.I still shout,run around,dance whatever God want for me to do,I still do. I properly will always do that,because I'm bornagain,fire baptize,tongue talking,devil stumbling,child of the king.I'm pentecostal to the bone.
2ND.
I look at the tree and years of experience and remembering what my grandpa and uncle taught me I start cutting.I exactly know how long it's be and I turn the log around few times and I know where to cut it.sometime us pastor we take one look and said that's the devil and we start cutting it out,as pastor or teacher we need to know examine what we'll cut out.if we don't do it right we'll cut out the whole generation to turn away. The whole family.or create the division among family and church.
At this point I'm cutting floor boards,this is a foundation of the canoe,it need to be strong and cut the right way,make sure it straight and same size.because it has to hold me up when I'm paddling in the deep water.we need God as the foundation of our believe and trust Him always.without his foundation we are lost and going in the wrong way.
3rd
Now I'm making the brace to hold the side together,it need to be strong and solid,this our part and we need to stand strong for Jesus and if we stand on the God foundation we  will stand strong.Even at this place,we still can go wrong,if we don't take our rightful place.
You see the body of Christ,we all have a part and place, we have our duties to do.If you don't take your rightful place you're burden to the body.
4Th.
Siding is holding the brace and frame together.it has 4 siding it's like we the 4 gospel in our lives to stay a flowed with God.without this siding we'll be on the wrong side.today we need to remind each other always what side your on. God side or devil.but if our foundation is build on God we're on God side.We need siding in our lives a hedge of protection,just like sheep they need the fence siding to keep them together at night.and the shepherd to be on their side to survive.Without siding in our lives the devil will come and go as he please, so put up strong siding in your lives now today and forever.
5Th
Siding need to be hold together with rips,next time I build a canoe I'll put in 12 rips,but anyway it'll take Christians to be in the same canoe,yes we're in same canoe holding together the whole canoe so it can last a long time.without the canoe rips the canoe will fall apart soon.it's work for a while,but the siding will start to break first and then just few month it will fall apart.rips is you. have you ever heard the saying we're in the same boat or around here is in the same canoe.Two person in the same canoe have to work together or else they will fail or drown, or division will come in between them.so be the rips that hold us together in the body of Christ.You and I have rips without rip,you and I will be in great trouble,so God put the rips in the right place where is will protection our organs.
6Th
The skin on the canoe,oh it's canvas now days ,but it use to skin long ago,but I still call it skin.the skin is like the Holy Ghost.it help you float even in the deep or shallow.and also help us to go in the all direction( go into all the world) and it will help us get to where we're going. 
I could take the frame alone without the skin,and properly still float,but I can't help anyone else to float,you see without the Holy Ghost you are no help to the body Of Christ.without the skin you're not preaching the word or teaching anyone else to come along with you.you don't want nobody to be like you or to follow you or  to be example to anyone or to be look up to or,bottom line without the skin it's all about you staying alive and struggling all the time and disagreeing with others around you and backstabbing others.and so on.
Canoe skin is like the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.without the skin you can't praise God.it's hard to lift your hands.and worship God.so I encourage you if you haven't been baptize in the Holy Ghost,do so today. just ask the father He will gave it to you.whatever God build He reward and if God been building your canoe He is faithful to give you the Holy Ghost. just ask Him.
7Th
Paddle is like the gifts of the spirit and fruit of the spirit. The paddle will direct you in right direction,If the father tell you to go right you paddle to the right. Without the paddle,you're just going with the flow,whatever is happening you're just going along.
Let just say you're in a canoe without a paddle and others have their,you're just along for a ride,you have know saying.you're like the back seat driver,telling the driver to go right and the drive not listening to you.so while you're in the canoe without the paddle,it's up to you to earn it and others to trust you with it.
It's like this we have 3 sons and one daughter.today our all our sons can go a hunt ducks in the canoe,but it took sometime of teaching, training and trusting.but it work.it took sometime for our sons to earn their paddle.I use to paddle our sons,at first when they were small child I put them in front of me and they could see where they going and then as they got older they sit behind me now they see me what I'm doing.now they earn their paddle,because it was me who say yes son go ahead a canoe.God will say that to you("go into all the world and preach the gospel"
8Th
Now the canoe is done I'm ready to go into the field and preach the gospel not just part of it,but the whole gospel,I'm equipped and encouraged and I know my canoe will float,because it is build by God own hands.I can trust it.
Lots of Christians now days are uncomfortable about preaching and teaching the word,because they didn't see who was building their canoe.
I build the canvas canoe from bottom up and I trust it when it was time to test it out and many here in Venetie trust my canoe,they borrow it and use it to hunt ducks. I sold few of canoe here in Venetie.We need to be trusted and to be follow by others who want to follow Jesus,you and I need to be a good example for Jesus.
 
Praise the Lord,I'm learning about God all the time,even use building a canoe,We need to be teachable,just because you're old in the lord doesn't give the right not to learn anymore.Just look around you and God is ready to teach you,using example like building a canoe or something else.Roman 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,being understood by the things that are made, even eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
So here it is the creation itself speak for God,so if you have a hard time hearing God just look around and believe me God is going to show you and also show Himself to you.through His creation.
This year there are lots of birds just singing day and night and I know there is God no question,because every time I listen to the birds they are praising God all the time.singing,they all don't sound the same,but it sing at the right time,they are all in harmony raising their voice as one.even the raven in the distance put his voice in
Praise God hallelujah thank you Jesus
And thank you for being there for me when I go through hard time,number of time a brother or sister in the  Lord would approach me and tell me they are praying for everyday.I honor everyone one of you for being my brother and sister in the Lord.
Again thank you for all your support and prayer.
God bless you and love you all

*John 1:41-51***************************************
Our studies for pass year had us believes that beyond the shadow of doubt that Jesus is who say He is and He'll do what He say He is going to do.verses 41-51 tell us all that He is messiah the son of the living God.all the disciples in the bible found Jesus one way or another,but they found Him.Jesus wasn't lost,but still we need to find Him.let me tell you He is not hiding to far from you or He is not hiding so good that you can't find Him.
when I was a child we use to play hide and seek.man sometime is hard to find a person even in our house.they hide so good is impossible to find them.well God is not hiding like that,God is easy to find all you have to do is call His Name and He will answer you.
Even today as a believer we need to find what God has in store for us,yes all the things God has for us is in the word\,but you and I need too find them there are 9 gifts and 9 fruit of the Spirit and 5 fold ministries. these are the gifts God want us to find.you can find what Jesus want you to do in these 23 gifts and find out who you are in the Lord.you need to find who you are in the Lord,so you can know exactly what to do and what you're calling is.
Today the door is open to you, all you have to do is walk through them and find what God has for you.
Here is a great promise Jesus say to us "you shall see heaven open",wow praise God just like St, Stephen when He was getting stone and was ready to die He look up and saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God. he saw into heaven Glory to God, God promise us that,(Act 7:55 But he,being full of the Holy spirit,gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God)
We to can see into heaven,but we need to find it first.God promise us through Jesus that you and I will see even greater things then these.so be encourage when things don't look good you can always find God is on your side and Jesus is always finding someone who need help and need encouragement.
I've learned in John Chapter one "He is the word" you can always find a word to all your troubles and temptation.  A "word" that will help you continue with Jesus.
Praise God God been Good I gave all the glory to God,who help me teaches Has word and thank you Jesus we did find you in every verse and also in our lives.thank you God,glory to God Hallelujah, you are so good God,Jesus and Holy Ghost.
Praise God I know I skip teaching on the Holy Ghost verse 33,but I believe I'll be teaching it in another chapter.
Well Praise God next study is John chapter 2 .
 
*Wisdom Of God****** Proverb 21:21***********************
He who follows righteousness and mercy.Finds Life,righteousness and honor.
You and I we need someone to follow you can't follow yourself,because you can't or I should say is "impossible" that's it no question ask, you just can't period.so that's why Jesus said come and follow me.the reason He told us to follow Him,is because we are following the devil. you neither follow "Jesus or devil" that's it, the right way or the wrong way .there no in between you can't follow Jesus in 1 hour and decide to follow devil in another hour or follow Jesus one day and follow the devil the next day.I know some people use a good excuse is call " one day at a time" I've been follow Jesus now for 15 1/2 years. and I know is not "one day at a time" because God promise this verse "this is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it or from (2 Peter 3:8 But ,beloved,do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years,and a thousand years as a one day)
Now you see it's about follow Jesus always not just one day at a time,but today people still use this sad excuse,so they play in the world or sin for a while,because they think tomorrow I'll get back with the Lord.because they can't see beyond today.
If only they wake up and say This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.Only the alcoholics or one with no hope  say  "one day at a time" but God gave eternal hope and eternal life. so who are we to say one day at a time.because those who are  bornagain knows they have eternal life and those who witness to being dead and now are alive in Christ.so lets follow righteousness and mercy that's "Jesus" so you and I can find life and honor.
You see we need to live in honor and righteousness at all times,everything you say or do,before you do it or say it. think fast and say to yourself will this honor the person or do I also will live in honor if I say it or do it.what you say or do will honor or dishonor someone.so before you speak and act stop, think or pray.
Today all around us people don't live in honor and righteousness.we see it and hear it everyday,but that can't pull us away from what Jesus want us to do or say.just as long as we follow Jesus and show mercy,we will live in honor and have life more abundantly.praise God.is not impossible to live in honor and respect.but it's up to us to practice it everyday.not just one day a time or one hour a time.but all the time and everyday and every year and forever.
God we give you all the glory and honor  and thank you Jesus you made a way for us to live in honor and rightousness.thank you Jesus
God bless you all

************************************** John 1:36*********************************************
"behold the Lamb of God" today we forget to look at Jesus or when we do look at Him we forget, He is able to take away our sins.or  heal us.
Sometime we try  hard to follow Jesus without realizing that He is the only one that can help us to follow Him.Mark 10:21....."take up the cross and follow me" Matthew 16:24 ....Let him deny himself,and take up his cross,and follow me"
Few years ago I didn't understand this verse,but I believe it  no matter if I didn't understand it.but every chance I get or when I remember it in my prayer I always ask God what does it mean.Then one Sunday I was at my church and like always I'm listening to the preacher.
That's why I believe in listening while you're in the house of the Lord. I know I'm getting away from my message,but this is important to know.when you and I read the word and study the word. Now when God reveal or manifest His word you just grew in the spirit and you become a messenger for God.                                                                            Reading and study God words is a "must" "command" "Rule" "law" to help us not to sins against God.(Ps.119:11 your word I have hidden in my heart.That I might not sin against you) We need God's word as ammunition to fight off the devil and his angels.knock down walls of unforgiveness and also it will convict us when we do wrong or sin.
But it take apostle,prophet,evangelist,pastor and teacher for us to grow in the Spirit.
(Eph.4:15 But,speaking the truth in love,may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ---)
When I was a child my grandpa train me to bring in chop wood for fire stove and as I grew up I end up hauling all the wood they need for the cold winter.
For many years I would pick a log and put it on my shoulder and sometime walk through deep snow.I fell lots of time with that log on my shoulder.but I've learn over time to fall the right way,so I wouldn't hurt myself.I've learn at young age ,when  lifting something heavy I should use my legs,so I wouldn't hurt my back.you see it take strong back to carry an log.that's why I'm saying to you to learn from your pastor,so you can have a strong back to pick that log(cross) and carry it all the way to heaven.
Jesus told us to pick up your cross and follow Him. when you carry your cross,you are carry all the promises from God from Genesis to revelation--praise God.so when devil comes as a flood you can always pull down (download) one of this promises right from your shoulder and use it to resist him or bind him up or cast him out.
If someone told you how do you know you're going to heaven? you can pull down this promise from your shoulder Eph.1:14 Who is our quarantine of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,to the praise of His glory.or if some one say to you how can they be free,you can pull down John 8:32 or verse 36 :therefore if the Son makes you free,you shall be free indeed.
That's why we need the Lamb of God in our life and we need to remember He is the one who will forgive our sins and help us in our down time and who say I'll never leave you or forsake you.He said this in the old and new testaments Deut.31:6 and Heb.13:5.
Today and everyday "behold the Lamb of God" You and I lets start using this word everyday and remind others around us "behold the Lamb of God"
Praise God and a big hallelujah thank you Jesus.God is so good.
God bless you alll.
"Praise God, remember to keep giving even though it's summer and you're away on vacation or fishing.sometime ministry are having finance problem in the summer,right now I'm on break so that mean no love offering coming in for the ministry.But I thank God for all of you for your faithfulness in Giving to my ministry all these years, year after year.and all those who just drop a few hundreds now and then thank you, you're a blessing to me and my family and mostly God.without you're monthly giving Sacred Ground will have a hard time paying monthly bills and my monthly wages.So praise God keep giving and keep asking me to pray for your needs and any concern you may have.
God bless you and keep you

***************John 1:20-23******************
Glory to God it's blessing when one ask you who are you?,but it's a greater blessing when one point to Jesus who is author finisher of our faith who is first, He is alpha and  omega the beginning and the end.You see it wonder full and powerful to declare who you are,but you must remember you have to be like John the baptist,he said I must decrease He must increase.Then you tell those who ask you what you're not. You're not the Christ,or Elijah
You give them this answer tell them you're like John.the one shouting or crying in the wilderness " make straight the way of the lord" as the prophet Isaiah said
John was faithful to his calling even though it costed his life,so we to must make that stand and declare that Jesus is the Son of the living God,Jesus is the one who take away the sins of the world.
Last year I look into a  barrel of a gun,at that moment I thought I'll see Jesus.that's when I mention the name of Jesus,that's why I'm alive today.I faced death but I didn't ask God if Jesus was real or if he is the one who we are waiting for,like John send one of his disciple to ask Jesus if he is the Christ,please read John 7:18-28because today we are blessed with God words,I know beyond the Shadow of doubt that Jesus is Christ the lover of my soul,because for many years we been reading God words and even as child someone mention the name of Jesus and it stuck to us.John 20:31 "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,the Son of God,and that believing you may have life in His name"so today if you're facing death because of Jesus,all you got to do is call upon His name. or if  you're facing death like John,you can call upon those who are disciple of Jesus,they can come and pray for you and encourage you with the word of God or lay hand on you and heal you.raise you up.
 
                   *****************wisdom of God  Proverbs 15:22  ****************
Without counsel,plans go awry,But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Today I see lots of brothers and sisters who are all alone and thinking that it's God calling that they don't need no one or relied on no one or don't need anyone to pastor them or don't need anyone to correct them or don't need chastise from God.
Today we need one other,but we need to be care full who we have fellowship with.yes we need to mark those who betray us,who didn't come ask for forgiveness for what they did.( Roman 16:17 Now I urge you,brother,mark those who cause divisions and offenses,contrary to the doctrine which you learned,and avoid them) Yes there will be time that we will get disappointed by those we fellowship with,even are own pastor will disappoint us from time to time.just because you get disappointed by the pastor or the fellowship,that doesn't give you the right away from walking away from where God send you.I remember a brother walking into a church that I was attending in Fairbanks,he look around and said God has send me here.but next time I came back to the church he was gone.I talk to him later on and he said he was disappointed about the church about what they are doing or what they are not doing.
there are different between disappointment and betray.
So if you think you're getting betray by your church take counsel with those who you are fellowship with.the verse said "multitude of counsels" so that means you just can't go to those you know who will agree with you.if you do that you are causing division in the church.surely God will mark you as betrayer.
So with multitude of counsels we will get established.your plans are most important to God.God wants to listen to your plans.now for 15 1/2 years I've been planning my trip for God.I remember when I first start traveling for God.I have no supporter,I didn't even know I need supporter and church to pray for me.but I plan my trip. I do many story,but I'll share this one with you.I needed to go to Kotzebue,so I started to plan I sat down and start thinking how in the world I'll get Kotzebue.first I look at myself what can I do.It'll take to long to caught marten or lynx or make Snow-shoe or racing sled.I said to myself I need to caught Wolf,but I never did caught a wolf before.second I can't afford trap,so I order snare instead,cost less then a trap.so it took some planning on my part to raise money for my ticket. believe or not I caught a Wolfe I was able to make it to Kotzebue for revival.
So you see it'll take some planning to established your walk with God and others.So this year I'm planning not to betray anyone.I'll do everything I can to do right by reading the word of God as encouragement,guidance and training,not to use it like a knife to cut anyone off.but use it as a sword to cut off anything that will betray, lie,cheat or destroy anyone faith in God.
praise God hallelujah thank you Jesus
God bless you all and have a wonderful and blessed day "this is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it"

Teaching from John 3:12-14************************************
Jesus is still talking with Nicodemus and others who are not bornagain,He is saying I tell you earthly things and you don't understand and believe,that's why you need to really get bornagain in the spirit.don't just fall into just believing Jesus and that's it end of the story.it don't work that way.now you've believing Jesus that's a good start,now believe that He'll do more for you then He did yesterday.If you have a hard time understanding God words then you need to seek understanding by coming to church regularly and start reading your bible daily.So when Jesus reveal something to you you would understand,you see Jesus knows how much you know about Him.As you read your bible He'll show you what you must do or what not to do or how to follow Him.or what He is saying to you.when this happen to you you become a believer of Jesus,not just who believes,but a real believer.
You it took prayer, preaching God words,and  witnessing to make you believe,now it's God words that will you a believer of Jesus and disciples of God.
Jesus came down from heaven for you and all of us.God look down on us 2000 years ago and we needed help so He send Jesus to help us through all our trials and temptation,He send His son Jesus so you and I can and will understand and believe in Him and change our way of life.Jesus came to lift us up, lift our spirit,lift our lives,lift our voice,lift our sin off us,lift our villages up,lift your family up,Jesus is the lifting of all our sins.now that you are believer and disciples of Jesus. that your sins been nail to the cross, now you would understand when Jesus talk to you about heavenly things.because you are bornagain christain.the one who Jesus lifted up,the one who Jesus make free by His blood,your sins been washed away,it was nail to the cross and is in the sea for forgiveness and you have been forgiven,your name is written in the "Lamb Book Of Life" you are son of God and your brother Is Jesus,you have everlasting life,you are over comer,your feet been planet on the solid rock of Jesus. and Now I want to say to you "God bless you and keep you until we meet Him in the air. my son or daughter,be strong in the Lord don't give the devil a chance to put his foot in your door way .think of things that are pure,holy and good and keep your mind on things of God and things above not on things below.
Wisdom of God  Proverb 1:15 ******************************
         My son,do not walk in the way with them,keep your foot from their path 
Saint Paul the apostle when he got bornagain he went directly to his people and started preaching and they want to kill him,that will happen to you today if you go back to people you use to hang around with,they will kill your faith if you're faith is not build up. Saint Paul notice that, so he went out to Arabia for 3 years  to be taught by Jesus and others who minster to him.( Gal.1:18 Then after 3 years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,and remained with him fifteen days.) As a new believer we need to be in presence of those who are bornagain so we can be taught by them and they will set example to how to live for Jesus 7 days week,not just on Sunday or holy week only.that's what I did when I first started following Jesus or say I was bornagain.I first went to those who I use to hang around with, thinking I was going to change their lives,or help them come out of that crazy living.but It don't work that way, I was not prepare they almost kill my faith,I was getting anger with them I was getting depress and all that come with it. thank God I notice I need more Jesus or I would say more of the God's word before I minister to the lost. So I decided on the street corner I was going to walk away and not come back for 3 years just like saint Paul did. at first it was hard not to be with those I know all my life, but I know God will give me new friends and I trusted God will take care of me.
Yes there were times I run into my old friends in store or here and there. but God gave me the word for them,one ask me why he doesn't see me anymore I told them I was busy with my life and I don't have the time to come around and I also told my friends I'll be back soon. I shake their hand and I tell them  I'm busy and off I go. at first I felt like I was lying,but God told me you're busy with your life,so you are busy.
Even today after 151/2 years of following Jesus I still watch over my feet,so my feet won't walk in the path of sinners. So today dedicate you feet to the Lord,so it will  walk behind Jesus.let Jesus shine your feet let Him washed it clean.

Praise the Lord I'm finally having little time at home so I'll do a short but heavy teaching on John.hope you've been reading John that's why I need to caught up with you and sorry I haven't been teaching there for a while,but you know me I've  been to place where I have hard time getting to computer or just to busy ministering day and night.as you know I just finished travel for 30 days and now I'm going again to Washington state.
I've been teaching John on the radio program every Saturday 9:45 pm  on KJNP 1170 AM.
I made 8 programs and I finish John 1:1-11.
 
John 3:11-15Th********************************************
After talking with Nicodemus,His teaching is going beyond Nec and that's where He is talking to us and want us to believe Him the Son Of God.
Lots of time the world is cruel and choose not to understand.I use to say the same thing "See It to believe It" that's why Jesus want us to be born again. So when He teach us in the Spirit,we'll know exactly what He is talking about.If we can understand God in the spirit then it's easy to understand the world around us.at times I believe Jesus talk to us about the worldly things that is happening in the world,He warn us before hand so we won't be making our decision by circumstance surround us.things in the world surround us will always be happening,that's why we needed to ground in the word of God.because if the world move you,it's moving you in the wrong direction,even though it may look right or feel right at the times.Only the word of God should move you from one point to another.
Jesus came down from heaven to teach us and rebuke us,correct us and even chasten us.
We needed God help that's why He send Jesus to help us through our tough times here on earth.that's why He(Jesus) been lifted up,so we to can be lifted up,we must rise above our trials and temptation and troubles.when we defeat someone in our live we always remember it,that's why when you got born again you defeated the devil.and you believe in the Son Of God.now you know in your heart,not only in your heart but in your spirit.that you have eternal life because of Jesus.Glory to God thank you Jesus

  ****************************************Wisdom of God*****************************************
Proverbs 27:2 Let another man praise you,and not your own mouth;A stranger,and not your own lips.
My late elder brother David Salmon said to me I've work for God 49 years,but I feel like I work only 30 minutes for God.wow glory to God.you know what that's mean? he is saying he can only report 30 minutes of what he did for God,so that way God gets all the glory and honor,he use to say when you honor me,you are really honoring God in me.
As I learn over the years working with people around here in the village and when one don't talk about what he did or doing for the people,that person have peace.but there are others always talk about what they did or doing,and soon enough they are upset,angry,depress and as always they  quit.and no one remember what they did.People always remember them being a quitter.even though they did great things while they were working for the people.
Please have discernment when you talk about what you did for God
To be on the safe side talk about what God did for you
God bless you all
