PARABLE FRIDAY! Sheep, Sheppard; ( words of Jesus )

Going to take me a couple of Friday's to break all this down, but let's start with this; Jesus is the ONLY spiritual door to the sheep of believers ( Jn 14:6 ); Anyone who tries to enter  by another sheepfold, door, is a theft, and robber, Satan ( Jn 10:10 ); Encouragement- There has been many who proclaim being the way to God, truth is, Jesus is only way, and is the only truth that holds; ALL other leaders, and so called ways are dead, or dieing, but God kept THE way simple, and for all ( 1 Jn 2:2 ); Did you know every time you write, or say a date, you're acknowledging  Jesus, because dates are arranged according to His resurrection; 1 A.D. ,1500, 2000, etc, 1 started after Jesus rose ( Matt 27,28 ); Ever time you get married, you are acknowledging God, where do you think the idea came from ( Gens 2:24 ); Every time a country, hates a Jew, or Israel, you are fulfilling Bible prophecy ( Lk 21:20-24; Deut 28:37 ); Read of great ministers of God, that I plan to continue in, of John G Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, Evan Thomas, these men, walked with God, shut down hospitals, police stations, communities changed, because they believed Jesus; What other religions has testimonies like that ( Heb 2:4 ); Did you know the U.S.A. was founded by 246, out of 257 Christian politicians that formed this country, read history of constitution, don't believe me!

POST OF ENCOURAGEMENT; Wild, weird, for healing; ( words of Jesus )

Why would Jesus spit on this man's eyes to heal him? Bible doesn't explain why, ask God, maybe He will tell you, or not; I believe, God has revealed to me, that spitting on this guy's eyes to heal him, defines that 1. God is not concerned with offending people, when it come to dealing with the devil, because it's the devil you're fighting, not people ( Eph 6:12 ); 2. It's in the faith, not method; There are uncountable ways, and BASICALLY, could be some, no wrong way to believe God when applying faith for healing; ENCOURAGEMENT - If you think God is soft spoken, sensitive about offending, passive God, you are wrong, and you have liberty to step out in faith, not fearing offending people; Most would say, " where is the love, and compassion in that " The love is MOTIVE, and the love and compassion is the person is healed; Now use wisdom, if the state, federal law forbids something don't do it, obey laws of land ( Rom 13 ), but don't have a prejudice about stepping out in faith, that you might offend; ( Mk 8:22-25 ) God bless!
