HARD HEART, BLIND EYES, DEAF EARS



Let’s look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 13 and see how our belief is hindered.  

Let’s pick the story up in verse 9.  



“AND ANYONE WITH EARS TO HEAR SHOULD LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.”  



Throughout the Bible, we’re commanded to listen to God.  Each of us must make the choice to truly listen and believe what God…

In John 16:7, Jesus told his disciples that it was for their advantage for him to go away.  Jesus left that earthly relationship in order to lead them, and now us, to an even closer spiritual relationship.  That's what Jesus desires of all of us; that we would take the "time" to walk more intimately with Him.  This is what "bearing fruit" is really all about and it is a visible result when you get closer to Jesus and it…

THE PRAISIN' MAN

IT'S A BIG JOB JUST SERVIN' GOD AND TRYIN' TO LIVE LIFE RIGHT!

BUT NOW I'M A PRAISIN' MAN, GIVIN' HIM MY LIFE…

We are in the process of changing our group name to 'Southern Thunder Vocal Band'. It'll take a while due to contract obligations with our recording company etc. Pray for us. Contact me at 918-530-7513 for scheduling us at your church or venue. Blessings!!!!

“I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin', come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew I'll drink a little beer that evening, Sing a little bit of these working man blues” ~Merle Haggard…

“I have chosen you” (John 15:16). Does that information not humble you somewhat??  Are you in awe of the fact that God has you in the grip of His strong right hand??  We must understand that we do not have the ability to choose HIM, all we can do is choose to accept His calling and surrender our will to HIS!!   We look at it all wrong when we run around and say that we've got God.  The important thing to understand is…

What is Wisdom?  Some folks think it means having the right answers.  Some folks think it means knowing the truth.  Just knowing the right answers and knowing the truth is not Wisdom; and just "knowing" is not going to help you very much.  The "knowing" has to be followed up by the "doing" for it to be "Wisdom".  You see Wisdom is very closely tied to FAITH.  You will not do something if you don't have faith in it will…

A nation is not x amount of real-estate; a nation is a land filled with people; people are what makes a nation.   A church is not a church because it is a nice building with a steeple and a cross on it; a church building only becomes a church when it is filled with believing people who are worshiping and seeking God.  And you are not a whole person and a child of God without the Spirit of Jesus Christ living within you;…

Every human being (yes, even me and you) has been provided with a way of access unto the very Presence of God.  His name is JESUS....and Jesus is not "a" way; Jesus is the "ONLY" way!!  "For God so loved the world (mankind) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16  I challenge you to speak the name of Jesus with Joy and Truth as many…

Had a great devotional today...thought I would share: It was talking about "leftovers" and how mom can reinvent your dinner to make it new again. The Spiritual nugget was that sometimes we need to step back far enough to let God work without hindrance...when we do, the promise that "All things work together for good..." suddenly becomes a reality in our lives. Blessings!!! jan

Had fresh roast'n-ears, roasted in the oven
Me an the grandkids, eat'em by the dozen!!
With fresh green beans and Barbequed ribs,
plus golden fried squash, I think I over-did!!! 
There wasn't much left for the wares of Tupper
Dad gum, Casey, that was a mighty fine Supper!!!!

YeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwww!!!   Thank you Jesus!!!!

Man....am I tired this morning!!!  I sure would like to lay up and worship Saint Mattress this morning, wouldn't you??  BUT if I did I wouldn't get to preach two sermons this morning and praise God with THE TRIPLE CROSS BAND.  What a blessing I would miss not getting to Love on God, Love on my Church Family, and tell somebody about Jesus!!!  I think I'll get up and head for 4092 Norge Road, Chickasha, Oklahoma; that's…

Jesus knows every step of the journey ahead of you, even all the way to Heaven.  Why shouldn't He??  After all, He IS the way!!  "Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life...." John 14:6  Sign me up for all three of those, please!!!   ~Pastor Lynn
