All God’s revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God’s truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. The only way you can get to know is to stop trying to find out and by being born again of the Spirit..¬Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest…..John3:3,6 “Jesus said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.- That which is born of the flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. One reads tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when one five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam. You say, ‘I suppose I shall understand these things someday’! You can understand them now. It is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already. Beware of becoming ‘wise and learned’…-Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest………Mat11:25 “I praise You Father, . . . because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.”

We have to get rid of the plague of the spirit of the religious age in which we live. In our Lord's life there was none of the press and rush of tremendous activity that we regard so highly, and the disciple is to be as his Master. The central thing about the kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship to Himself, not public usefulness to men...-Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest.....John3:7-8 “Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again'. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

True freedom from fear consists of totally resigning one's life into the hands of the Lord...-David Wilkerson...Isaiah30:18 “So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion.

​

#0001940

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope...-Martin Luther King .......Col2:4-5 “I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.”

​

#0001941

Lord, let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess everything, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley, thy life in my death…-John MacArthur, Hard to Believe……….Luke9:24 “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.”

​

#0001942

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a multitude of experiences that are not meant for you at all, they are meant to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what transpires in other souls so that you will never be surprised at what you come across…-Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest……..1Peter4:13 “But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ.”

My dear brothers and sisters, Today we launch one of the most purposeful and meaningful Commitments we can make beginning with the relatively short lifetime left in the 3rdGen family; yet one that sets the foundation stone for all Generations to come: Project ‘Transient Orphan Home’ is, by the grace of God, hereby humbly inaugurated as the 2ndMajor Dept within the Philanthropy of the CPF as our God-Who is Able- Enables us(1Cor6:11, Lev20:8) DirGenNenPleno, 1stDeputy DirGenKZ, 2ndDeputy DirGenW………..James1:26-27 “If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means: Caring for Orphans and Widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”

​

“The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him. And He will make them know His covenant (Psalms25:14) My eyes are continually toward the Lord, For He will pluck my feet out of the net (v15). Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted(v16).- Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You(v20). Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You(v21).”

​

#0001945

Suddenly I heard the words of Christ and understood them, and life and death ceased to seem to me evil, and instead of despair I experienced happiness and the joy of life undisturbed by death…-Leo Tolstoy……….Mat13:31-32 “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.”

​

#0001946

“When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father(Eph3:14), the Creator of all this in heaven and on earth(v15). I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit(v16). Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong(v17). And may you have the power to understand, as well all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is(v18). May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God(v19).”

​

#0001947

“We also pray that you will be strengthened with all His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy(Col1:11), Always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light(v12). For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son(v13), Who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins(v14).”

When the North Koreans captured General William Dean, he was permitted to write one letter home. He wrote to his son to whom he said, 'Bill, remember that integrity is the most important thing of all. Let it always be your aim.' Jesus spoke the plain, unvarnished truth. Never did He play the grandstand or hold a moist finger to the wind of public opinion, as leaders the world over are apt to do before they take a position on a moral issue. Strive to let His character be reflected by your life. The world will see the difference...-Sala, Refuge And Strength.....Mat22:16 "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any."

​

#0001949

"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen(Jude1:24,25).- He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ(Phi1:6).- Is anything too hard for the Lord(Gen18:14)?- He is able . . . to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him(Heb7:25)."

​

#0001950

“You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unnreproveable in His sight; if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel(Col1:21-23).-That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world(Phi2:15).- Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless(2Pet3:14).- Sincere and without offence till the day of Christ(Phi1:10).”

​

Money is power. That principle drives most cultures of the world. People scramble for wealth, often at the price of personal integrity, in order to gain the power to live where and how they want and get whatever else they want. In a culture that worships money, believers in Jesus are in danger of doing the same. Jesus has power over disease, healing sickness; power over the sea, removing fear; power to create, feeding thousands; power over sin, forgiving sinners; power over His own life, yet He gave up His life to save all who would call upon Him. Instead of selfish means, serve others. The more we serve Christ, the less we will serve self…-Dave Egner, Our Daily Bread……..John13:8”If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

​

#0001952

At any given moment you can learn…- Tony Bennett……..Prov4:18-23 ”The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over. My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to My words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”

​

#0001953

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are…-Theodore Roosevelt……Psalms55:22 “Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”

​

#0001954

I would not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum…-Frances Willard……..2Pet1:5,6 “. . .Make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.”

​

#0001955

A day is Eternity’s seed, and we are its Gardeners…-Erika Harris……..Isaiah58:11 “The Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”-Psalm48:14 “For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.”

​

#0001956

Many things I have tried to grasp, and have lost. That which I have placed…-Martin Luther……Eph1:17-19 “The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, . . . give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”

#0001957

When nothing on which to lean remains¸ When strongholds crumble to dust; When nothing is sure but that God still reigns, That is just time to trust. It’s better to walk by faith than sight, In this path of Yours and mine; And the darkest night, when there’s no outer light, Is the time for faith to shine…-LBCowman, Streams……………2Chr14:11 “Then Asa . . . said, ‘Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty’.”

​

#0001958

Corregidor’s Malinta Tunnel, built to store arms and ammunition, was also a stronghold that bombs of the enemy couldn’t penetrate. It served as a haven for wounded soldiers and as a headquarters for General MacArthur. Strongholds are important because they provide protection. Hey allow you to sleep at night without fear for your safety. When David was a fugitive from Saul, he hid in strongholds in the desert. He learned that SAFETY IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF DANGER, BUT THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. Repeatedly he referred to the Lord as his fortress..-Sala, Refuge And Strength…..Psalm 18:1,2 “I love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.”

​

#0001959

“Have faith in God (Mark11:22). Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him(v23). I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours(v24). But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against¸ so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too(v25).”

​

#0001960

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one’s levels of aspiration and expectation…-Jack Nicklaus, Champion in Major’s Record golfer…….Psalm90:17 “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.”

​

#0001961

“Many are saying, ‘Who will show us any good?’ Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord(Psa46)!You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound(v7)

​

#0001962

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For you alone O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.- As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You
