(2 Chronicles 7:14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Once again the worlds focus is on Israel; a sovereign nation that is defending itself against an aggressive invasion by a régime intent on destroying it. To say that Israel is the perpetrator of aggression against Palestine is ludicrous! Israel has a right and an obligation to defend itself against any aggressor intent on waging war against it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have a right to choose whom they will follow or support; if you choose to follow evil, then no good thing will surround you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Palestinian people who live off the generosity of Israel and the support of the free world, are authors of their own destiny and they are quite able to eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah if they chose to, but they do not. It is sad that war has casualties but blame must be put on those who are the aggressors: Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Radicals who do not have any regard for human life, including their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is time for all nations to stand with Israel in defiance against those that would and are attempting to destroy Her. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. Those who choose to follow evil are not fit to live in a civilized society and are enemies of all who stand for righteousness.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad"&lt;/span&gt; (Matthew 12:30).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instead of foolishly protesting against a war that is inevitable, pray for God to give strength and guidance to the leaders of the world to choose what is right and honorable and not to be swayed by temptations of the flesh.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures (James 4:1-3).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In His Service&lt;br /&gt;Rev Ron&lt;br /&gt;cyuministries.org&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5988646564872831435-1047991358214315431?l=cyuepistles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/feeds/1047991358214315431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5988646564872831435&amp;postID=1047991358214315431' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/1047991358214315431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/1047991358214315431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/12/call-to-arms-israels-right-to-fight.html' title='A CALL TO ARMS: Israel&apos;s right to fight'/><author><name>revron4u</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426450212081526118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SWWp-c9MRfI/AAAAAAAAABc/IN4WIDH5C9E/S220/rev_bike_th.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SVqlCljUzGI/AAAAAAAAABQ/gnbOinI5rJk/s72-c/smallshield.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988646564872831435.post-493335342736693480</id><published>2008-12-25T13:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-25T13:29:24.882-08:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PERFECT GIFT</title><content type='html'>Dear friends,&lt;br /&gt;Destiny and I wish you and all of your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.&lt;br /&gt;Today we celebrate God’s gift to humanity: &lt;strong&gt;Jesus His Son, the pathway to eternal Glory.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we ask you to put down your armor of religion and doctrine, to come together with CYU Ministries in celebration of Jesus’ Birth for us all.

(2 Timothy 3:1-5)"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"&gt;You have been given this one life to live, how you nurture it is your responsibility.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;You can do the blame game if things are going bad or you can be honest with yourself and evaluate what steps you took, to get you where you are a today. More often than not, it is because you just made wrong decisions and were not strong enough to back out. Peer pressure and self-worth are most often-times the guiding factor in most decision making and without seeking The Lord first, your walk through ‘The Valley’ will be perilous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"&gt;Today is your day for change! Let loose of what binds you and make a new start:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This doesn’t mean to relinquish your responsibilities; it means to let go of unhealthy relationships (family, friends, and co-workers) that are not a productive part of society. Jesus is The Way, look to Him and He will help you to let go and get going. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit."(John 15:1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is full of people who do not have a good moral compass; you do not need to be one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;18 "having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." (Eph 4:18-20)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"&gt;See The Good Around You Today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Turn off the news! If your day is not going as well as you want it to, why encumber yourselves with the decay and destruction of things that you have no control of? The news media does a wonderful job of dredging up the woes of the world because there is no end to the destruction and misery that is of this world but your life does not need to be guided by their programming. &lt;em&gt;"If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace."(Proverbs 29:9)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"&gt;Surround yourself with the pleasantries of life.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Go outside of your sanctuary and see the wonders of God’s Hand that is for you to witness today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I am outside writing today there are visual wonders all around me: On my fence doves are feeding their two babies; there is a hummingbird that just came within two feet of me to check me out; there are mockingbirds singing in the trees, the sun is shining, I have a beautiful and wonderful wife (Destiny) to share my life with, Jesus is my Lord and I am happy and in Christ Jesus you can be also. &lt;em&gt;"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (Psalm 16:11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;I say all this not to lessen your responsibilities you have today but even if you are at work, imprisoned or bed ridden there are wonders all around you to behold, take a break and look about you and maybe a smile will well up in your heart. &lt;em&gt;"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever" (1 Chr 16:34)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;If you have turned away from Jesus or never new Him&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now is the time to reach out for His Hand. Placing your trust in any man or woman will not save you or give you peace; only the Love of Jesus will fill that empty void and heal your wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Rev Ron&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5988646564872831435-4141150427905823473?l=cyuepistles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/feeds/4141150427905823473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5988646564872831435&amp;postID=4141150427905823473' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/4141150427905823473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/4141150427905823473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/06/word-of-encouragement.html' title='A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT'/><author><name>revron4u</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426450212081526118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SWWp-c9MRfI/AAAAAAAAABc/IN4WIDH5C9E/S220/rev_bike_th.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988646564872831435.post-8735951582121243811</id><published>2008-06-08T12:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T13:22:15.671-07:00</updated><title type='text'>TRUST AND LET GO</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#996633;"&gt;“I ask and do not receive. I seek and do not find. I pray and nothing changes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Are these your thoughts today, if so, you are not alone? It is our desires that cause division in our spirit. We loose focus on what is right or wrong, as we try to fulfill our wants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me" (Romans 7:18-20).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Loves you; He wants you to have the very best you need, I said need not want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19).&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#996633;"&gt;We all want more than we need: Bigger, better, flashier and faster - why is that? Well could it be that we are all a little selfish, haughty, prideful, arrogant, self-centered and possessive?&lt;/span&gt; Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Cast out those ugly things in The Name of Jesus and be set free! We all need to change our thought patterns. We all need to eliminate ‘&lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt;’ from our vocabulary and replace it with ‘&lt;em&gt;Thee&lt;/em&gt;’. When we are able to do this, then the changes we desire to come will come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#996633;"&gt;Trust in The Lord your God, Put your faith in His Hands and He will never let you down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chr 7:14)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you put your trust in yourself or any man, you are setting yourself up for a letdown.&lt;span style="color:#996633;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Put your trust in Christ Jesus, and you will always be raised up,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; strengthened, fortified and provided for: What more can you want than this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few verses on trust that will give you strength to let go of you, and to grab onto Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him (2 Samuel 22:31).&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You (Psalm 9:10). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold (Psalm 18:2).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness (Psalm 37:3). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;To trust is to let go, so let go and let God hold you in His Hands; where you will find the peace, comfort, safety, provision and abundant joy that is waiting for you today.&lt;br /&gt;Rev Ron&lt;br /&gt;CYU Ministries&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5988646564872831435-8735951582121243811?l=cyuepistles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/feeds/8735951582121243811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5988646564872831435&amp;postID=8735951582121243811' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8735951582121243811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8735951582121243811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/06/trust-and-let-go.html' title='TRUST AND LET GO'/><author><name>revron4u</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426450212081526118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SWWp-c9MRfI/AAAAAAAAABc/IN4WIDH5C9E/S220/rev_bike_th.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988646564872831435.post-8479917745745615272</id><published>2008-03-23T18:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-23T18:33:01.314-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY EASTER FROM CYU</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R-cDqr5M0XI/AAAAAAAAAAw/WQiBrC0IJR0/s1600-h/2easter08.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181113928185074034" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R-cDqr5M0XI/AAAAAAAAAAw/WQiBrC0IJR0/s320/2easter08.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;5 But the angel answered and said to the women, &lt;em&gt;“Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.

Behold, I have told you.”&lt;/em&gt; (Matthew 28:5-7)&lt;br /&gt;Dear friends, as we celebrate Easter, let us not forget the true meaning of why Jesus chose to die, to descend into the pit of hell and to ascend to Heaven for each one of us. &lt;strong&gt;Jesus came that we should live, He died that all who believed upon Him would be cleansed of their sins, He went into the depths of Hell to claim victory over death, and He ascended to Heaven to receive His authority over all things. He is knocking on the door of your heart; let Him in right now and your name will be entered into the Book of Life, to be with Him for all eternity. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;He Is Risen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Rev Ron &amp;amp; Destiny&lt;br /&gt;CYU Ministries.org&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5988646564872831435-8479917745745615272?l=cyuepistles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/feeds/8479917745745615272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5988646564872831435&amp;postID=8479917745745615272' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8479917745745615272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8479917745745615272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/03/happy-easter-from-cyu.html' title='HAPPY EASTER FROM CYU'/><author><name>revron4u</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426450212081526118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SWWp-c9MRfI/AAAAAAAAABc/IN4WIDH5C9E/S220/rev_bike_th.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R-cDqr5M0XI/AAAAAAAAAAw/WQiBrC0IJR0/s72-c/2easter08.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988646564872831435.post-6980360639844939261</id><published>2008-02-03T14:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-04T00:57:16.233-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ARTICLES TO THE BACKSLIDER'/><title type='text'>WHAT IS TRUTH?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R6ZTeGKVkiI/AAAAAAAAAAo/6qrBE7t6CpE/s1600-h/BannerPeople_Shadows.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162905799342002722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R6ZTeGKVkiI/AAAAAAAAAAo/6qrBE7t6CpE/s320/BannerPeople_Shadows.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS REALITY? WHAT IS TRUTH?&lt;/strong&gt; Reality is the state of substance as it applies to a moment in time. What is perceived and proclaimed as truth by those who are not qualified to present it, are deceivers of reality. &lt;strong&gt;God is Truth; The Written Word of God is reality; the implanted knowledge of good and evil within man, is the plum line of truth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book (2Ch 34:21)." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Word of God given to us to preach, teach, meditate, guide and to strengthen is the manual to life, on earth as it is in Heaven&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;To deviate from its truth, to manipulate its meaning is heresy, all who are found criminal in doing so, will pay the ultimate price of perdition&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;18 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (Rev 22:18-19)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/blogger/shadow_men.gif" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FALLEN FROM GRACE: &lt;/strong&gt;I once knew a man, a wonderful man of God; he was my pastor. Through his teachings and guidance I found my way to Christ Jesus and ultimately to where I am today. However, along the way, he stumbled and fell, lost his church, his family and position of honor amongst his peers, and sad to say he is no longer my pastor. &lt;strong&gt;When sin overtures God’s appointed path for you, do not expect to be repositioned once again to the place of honor you may once have attained;&lt;/strong&gt; the blame is yours not God’s.&lt;strong&gt; Jesus Is The Way Maker, not the way enforcer&lt;/strong&gt;. Watching a 20/20 documentary this morning on Bishop Carlton Pearson’s ministry and his distorted beliefs about Heaven and Hell, revealed once again man‘s interpretations and dissection of God’s Written Word and the audacity of man’s presumption that believes once he or she matures in Christ, that one may take liberties with the unmovable and unchangeable Holy Bible: &lt;strong&gt;Those who would and are attempting to replace The Truth for a lie, will have harsh and dire consequences come upon them&lt;/strong&gt;.. As it is written: &lt;em&gt;"There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one&lt;br /&gt;(Rom 3:10-12)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BE COUNTED WORTHY: &lt;/strong&gt;As a Minister, Preacher, Bishop or Sunday School Teacher, it is your good pleasure and high honor to teach the Truth as it is written within the boundaries of the Holy Bible.&lt;strong&gt; When the teacher becomes un-teachable and untouchable then his or her religion is destructive, thus: Religion Kills Jesus Heals©.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;13 Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, 14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” 15&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, and their works are in the dark; They say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?” 16 Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, “He did not make me”? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? (Isaiah 29:13-16) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is no substitute for the truth. Truth is real, factual, accurate, genuine, precise, legitimate, upright, sincere, loyal and honest. &lt;/strong&gt;To stand before a body of hearers, may it be only one or thousands, a representative of Christ Jesus must adhere to all these qualities of truth or step aside and let one who is able. No one can hide his or her unbelief for long, it will sprout up as a weed to reveal its true nature and judgment will consume it. &lt;em&gt;"Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man.” (Isaiah 47:3)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 25px; HEIGHT: 25px" height="29" src="http://cyuministries.org/images/blogger/dots.gif" width="25" /&gt;JESUS WILL SET YOU FREE: &lt;/strong&gt;The truth always reveals what is hidden.&lt;strong&gt; Sin is a destructive force and in sin, the decay will be made evident. However if you have strayed, fear not, for Jesus Is a Forgiver of sin if you will trust in Him&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;(John 8:31-32). If you choose to believe the Written Word in its entirety, you will be set free from the bondage of disbelief and compromise that entraps so many, but know this; &lt;strong&gt;with or without your authorship, The Word of God will endure to the end of time&lt;/strong&gt;. 34 Jesus answered them, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;John 8:34-36).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this message describes you, I need to pray for your healing right now:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Heavenly Father, reveal to those who have veered off the narrow path laid out for them by You, that they have gone astray. Guide them back off the wide path of destruction, set them once again upon a platform to administer Your Word to a lost generation.

Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members (James 4:1)?” &lt;/em&gt;Ever since humankind was barred from the Garden of Eden, true joy has been lost. Man has and will always continue to try to buy it, manufacture it, consume it, wear it, steal it and even fake it. Until the moment we are once again in the presence of God Almighty, we will always seek this elusive prize. &lt;em&gt;"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Joy meant for everyone or just a select few?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Now we know that the unrighteous will never find true happiness because the Bible tells us so. Take a look around and you will see that no matter how one dresses, acts, articulates, projects oneself and copies someone else, there is no lasting joy in any of these pursuits. &lt;em&gt;4 “Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth, 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment (Job 20:4-5)?""Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy (Proverbs 12:20)." &lt;/em&gt;If you find that you are entrapped in this elusive quest, stop it and call out to Jesus for He alone is the Hope of all. &lt;em&gt;"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You (Psalm 5:11)."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="20" src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" width="385" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is Joy so important, can’t we just be happy and satisfied with the things of the world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;We cannot, because Joy is a Fruit of the Holy Spirit and any Fruit that is of God is well worth having. You cannot buy or trade for it; it is a gift of the Spirit to all who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives. &lt;em&gt;"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Galatians 5:22)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;If you find yourself lacking the fruits of The Holy Spirit, do not wait one more second, call out right now and ask Jesus to save you and fill you with the Joy that only He can give to you. Jesus wants you to be happy, prosperous and filled with Joy. &lt;em&gt;"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit (Psalm 51:12)."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;"Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant (Psalm 35:27).”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 314px; HEIGHT: 19px" height="20" src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" width="314" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you know Jesus&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus Is the Author of Life and the final judge of your life. All you do and think are noted and written down in the book of remembrance, but when you are saved by The Grace of Jesus, all that was written is forgotten and you are made brand new, Hallelujah, isn’t that great? Set free, sins forgotten and made brand new-Awesome!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him, He shall see His face with joy, For He restores to man His righteousness (Job 33:26)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you punch God’s time clock and do the work He has for you to do, you will find the peace and contentment that you have been searching for; as long as you are doing it for Him and not for someone else, including yourself.&lt;br /&gt;The true Joy of life is doing what is uniquely created for only you to do; now this is something to shout about. &lt;em&gt;"For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart (Eccl 5:20)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160258871127020050" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="What is Joy and Why is it so illusive by Rev Ron of CYU" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/R5zsGmKVkhI/AAAAAAAAAAc/9dkuE21jVFU/s320/dots.gif" border="0" /&gt;Please, as you read this letter remember that it is Jesus who knows you and it is Jesus who can love you as you desire to be loved, and it is only Jesus who can give you the Joy that you seek; so what are you waiting for?&lt;br /&gt;Be an over-comer and sit by His side forever and ever. &lt;em&gt;20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne (Rev 3:20-21)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pray This prayer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jesus You are the One that I need to fill my life with Joy and peace.

Around the world, a Christian’s right to worship and pray are being systematically taken away.&lt;/a&gt; Cast of the yokes of bondage and stand fast before The Lord: He is calling out for warriors who will not conform to the world’s way. The Father seeks those who will stand before the enemy and sling the Stone of Righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 48. So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49. Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him.” (1 Samuel 17:45,48-50) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663300;"&gt;Who is your enemy? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Satan is your enemy. Satan is the father of liars, thieves, murderers and all who practice lawlessness&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;16. “These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17. A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 18. A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 19. A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Prov 6:16-19).” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Be wary my brethren that you do not become entangled in the enemy’s snares of confusion and worldly illusions: It is not your back that you have to watch, but it is what’s in front of you that can make you stumble and fall.&lt;/a&gt; Remember saints, it’s not the first look, the first taste, the first touch or the first thought that will capture you; it is the second and beyond that will imprison you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;12. “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God;” for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.&lt;br /&gt;15. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is&lt;br /&gt;full-grown, brings forth death (James 1:12-15).”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;NonConformity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Conformity to other religions and their false gods will bring destruction upon your life, the lives of your family, and ultimately to the whole world. &lt;/a&gt;God Jehovah warns us that He is a jealous God, He will not bless you or your home if you turn away from Him to serve other gods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;26. “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27. the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today; 28. and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known (Deut 11:26-28).” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;The world we live in today is full of dangers i.e. Communism, Islamic extremists, Jihadists and Anti-Semitics who are focused on destroying your freedoms, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As an American, I come against the Secular Humanists, the Liberal Extremists, the ACLU, and the Abortionists who desire to kill our unborn, to take our Blood Fought Freedoms from us, and to alienate God Almighty from all who love Him.&lt;/a&gt; No matter what part of this world you live in you are a creation of God and He is calling you Home.&lt;br /&gt;Americas Forefathers brought forth a New Nation, to be free, and paid for this right by their blood -What have you given up for your freedoms? Let’s not forget who we are…Freedom Fighters for Christ Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Thief&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Do not become entangled in the desires of the world, they change daily and are as wisps of smoke.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God (James 4:4).” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;What you choose to do with your life is a matter that will be tested by time and judged by Jesus when you come before Him.&lt;/a&gt; If in your sin, you lead others to sin, you are of the enemies of God. If you knowingly blaspheme the Holy Spirit, you condemn yourself&lt;em&gt;. 8. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil (1John 3:8).”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; (John 10:10)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Satan wants to kill you. He roams to and fro looking to see whom he can devour. He is a thief and a deceiver of your mind. He will use every guise to lure and entrap you into believing that the things of evil, are not. &lt;/a&gt;Before he rebelled and fell from God’s grace, he was an angel of light, an angel of worship and because of his cunning, he was able to lure from heaven a third of the angels; if he was able to convince the angels in heaven to turn from God’s Holy Mount, what chance do we have against him? Without The Grace of Jesus to protect us, this my friend is impossible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jesus saith, “&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;(John 14:6).”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;God is calling you to Himself, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; listen and you will hear Him. Jesus gave His life that all would be free, so be free in Him. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not&lt;br /&gt;as the world giveth, give I unto you.

There is not one religious festival, nor any theology, doctrine, multitude of prayers, emasculation, or murder of infidels, that will buy your way into the Kingdom of God&lt;/a&gt;. Satan is the pied piper of the lost, and religion is his well-traveled pathway.&lt;br /&gt;Take the path that is less traveled, take the path that leads to life, and do not accept the wide path of destruction. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;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 (Matt 7:13-14).”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Set Free&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise Jesus! We who know the truth and have been set free from our sins through The Blood of Christ, proclaim that Jesus Is Lord. &lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Jesus alone Is The Healer of yesterday, today, and forever!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;6. Jesus said to him,&lt;/span&gt; “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:1,6)”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-battle-cry.html"&gt;Jesus does not claim to be a religious leader: He is The Way to the Father and The Redeemer of man’s sin.

Satan has risen up an adversary of evil in the minds of the religious zealots who blaspheme the Lord Jesus and God Jehovah with false deities that institute hatred and murder. Those who practice this deception are already lost, and The Word is not in them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it (Amos 8:12).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;The world is imploding towards Prophetic Destruction, all who do not call out to The Lord will be lost for all eternity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;9. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10. nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Cor 6:8-&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"&gt;11&lt;/span&gt;).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;True Religion:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;If there is a useful religion then it is this,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“27. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the&lt;br /&gt;world (James 1:27).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Final Note: I pray that as you run towards the battle, arrayed in the Full Armor of The Lord, that you would not stumble and soil yourselves on the way. The Lord is returning for a church without spot or wrinkle.

Jesus reminds us to be prepared, for no one knows the hour or day that the end of time, as we know it, will come&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Mark 13:32).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The bible tells us to not harden our hearts today (Heb 3:15), nor worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has its own troubles (Matt 6:34).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have un-forgiveness in your heart, get rid of it. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are blatantly sinning, stop it. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have forgotten to be thankful, thank someone. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have not helped someone other than yourself, reach out. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have not tithed, now is the time. For as a man sows he will reap.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Do you want a better tomorrow? It starts today!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES AND THE END OF AN AGE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Throughout the ages, man has tried to predict, when and how the world would come to an end and when Jesus would return. Open your bible and see what Jesus says&lt;/a&gt;. Matthew 24 finds Jesus on the Mount of Olives privately teaching His disciples about His second coming and the end of times. &lt;em&gt;3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many" (Matt 24:3-5).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Firmly establish yourself in The Truth as it is revealed to you by The Holy Spirit&lt;/a&gt;. Find a church home that teaches from the Holy Bible and become involved. Know who you are in Christ Jesus and stand firm.&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; 6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows" (Matt 24:6-8).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Do not become entangled by the doomsday preachers or spiritualists who would turn you away from God’s Word. If you do not know what is fact or fiction, litmus test it with the Word and it will never fail you&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold" (Matt 24:9-12).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Evil seeks out whom it can destroy; when of the world, you are powerless against the wiles of satan.&lt;/a&gt; In Christ Jesus you become an adversary that can destroy the works of the devil. &lt;em&gt;"You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble" (James 2:19)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Do not allow yourself to be transformed back from a child of God to a pawn of the world by empty words and deceitful teachings&lt;/a&gt;. God’s Word is pure and never misleading. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matt 24:13-14).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;This is your new day, establish yourself in The Word and keep yourself unspotted from the world. Do not look for tomorrow before you have enjoyed your today&lt;/a&gt;. Make the changes you need to make to be prosperous in mind, soul and body and leave the workings of The Lord to Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-years-resolution.html"&gt;Jesus Is The Author and Finisher of all our lives; put your trust in Him and you will find the peace that you are seeking.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Let us Pray, Dear Lord, thank You for this day. Give me the strength to do what I need to do to become the person you created me to be.

We are to litmus their vision and wants with the Word of God. We are to vote into office men and women who know the meaning of Deut 11:26-28&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;“Behold I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today: and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 385px; HEIGHT: 15px" height="20" src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" width="381" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;The fruit of the womb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Psalm 127:3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;Do not vote into office any candidate that believes in any form of abortion. The Bible clearly shows us that life begins at conception. We are fashioned and formed by God in our mothers womb; not a test tube or Petri dish (Psalm 139:13). &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The prophet Jeremiah and the apostle Paul were called by God before they were born (Jer 1:5; Gal.1:15). John the Baptist leaped in Elizabeth’s womb when the voice of Mary was heard (Luke 1:44) Obviously &lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;children in the womb have spiritual identity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 289px; HEIGHT: 15px" height="20" src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" width="381" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;A decaying Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;What does the Bible say about homosexuality?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;Do not vote for any candidate that recognizes homosexuality as a valued lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;The Bible says it is an abomination for a man to lie with a man as with a women, or a woman to lie with a woman as with a man (Lev. 18:22; 20:13). &lt;/a&gt;The Bible says that because of certain abominations such as homosexuality, a land will vomit out its inhabitants (Lev.18:25). The apostle Paul called it “&lt;em&gt;shamefu&lt;/em&gt;l,” the result of being given up by God to “&lt;em&gt;vile passions&lt;/em&gt;” (Rom. 1:24-27). In the Old Testament, those who practiced these things were removed from the congregation of Israel by execution. &lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;We are told in the New Testament that those who practice homosexuality will not enter the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9, 10)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;The apostle Paul shows homosexuality as a final order of rebellion against God.&lt;/a&gt; When people exchange the truth of God for a lie, and begin to worship the creature instead of the Creator, they are given up to evil. When values are turned upside down and when moral anarchy appears, men burn with lust for other men and women burn for women, and they will receive in their own bodies the punishment for their actions (Rom. 1:22-27). &lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;From a biblical standpoint, the rise of homosexuality is a sign that a society is in the last stages of decay.. Consider this and vote accordingly. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993300;"&gt;Blessed Nation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;We are to stand firm knowing, that with God all things are possible and with out Him as the Lord of this land, this nation will disappear, as so many nations before us have, following the destructive path of human secularism&lt;/a&gt;: What feels good must be good. Jesus our Lord says, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matt 5:17).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;This nation and all of its people belong to God. God the Father will never leave us nor forsake us if we do not forsake Him: &lt;em&gt;“Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Path of Nonconformity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matt.7:15). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;Many candidates, lobbyists, and nonbelievers are making a loud noise about our nations jobs, the economy, the taxes, the health industry, and all matters of State concerning the defense and well being of our country and its freedoms: Granted we are at war, we have been at war and we as a Godly Nation, will always be at war, for freedom is not cheap nor is it free.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/12/vote-wisely-and-prosper.html"&gt;Non conformity is the first step to freedom:&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“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.

Presented to you today will be many temptations; some good some bad, choose wisely, not with eyes of selfishness and greed but with a heart of satisfaction and purpose&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way (Psalm 37:23)."&lt;/em&gt; Sad to say that many of us stumble on this path: It is very narrow and hard to navigate but if we take our eyes off of ourselves and look straight ahead we will not fall.&lt;em&gt; "A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps (Prov 16:9)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;In Numbers 22 God gives us a story of a diviner named Balaam who was not paying attention to his surroundings. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;It seems that even as a diviner he could not discern what perils lay ahead of him, so his donkey had to take action to save him from the Angel of The Lord.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;"31 Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face. 32 And the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is perverse before Me. 33 The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live (Numbers 22:31-33)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;Focus on what God has ordained for you; listen and follow His directives and do all things with a spirit of joy and thanksgiving.&lt;/a&gt; Our hearts and minds should focus on what our individual purpose is and to walk in a spirit of kindness, joy, reverence, worship and generosity. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;For who is man that he should boast? What importance is a wisp of smoke in the scheme of eternity? We are but a thought, brought forth at our appointed time to honor and worship God&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Preaching is the most important ministry of the Church. "And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: &lt;em&gt;“ How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things (Rom 10:15)!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;the pulpit is holy ground &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;The main focus of any Minister is to teach God’s Word. The pulpit is not a place of ranting or theatrics; it is Holy Ground where lives are changed and freedom is secured in The Name of Jesus. To all who minister and teach, do so in reverence and humbleness; orchestrate His Word and not yours. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;"5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. 6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar (Proverbs 30:5-6)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;When the thoughts of man supersede the Word of God, then wickedness and evil are birthed and confusion sets in. &lt;em&gt;“I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible (Isaiah 13:11)."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;Man's arrogance is a stench that reaches the very Throne of God. The audacity of religious leaders to teach assumptions and possibilities, not the Written Word, is callous and brazen and those who delve in this onslaught of debauchery will feel the sting of God’s wrath.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;"11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up-And it shall be brought low (Isaiah 2:11-12)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;How do we learn if we are not taught and how can we teach if we do not learn?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;"He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He (Deut 32:4)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the many churches that Destiny and I have attended, we've observed that many in the congregations leave their Bible's at home. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;It is the responsibility of the minister to promote and encourage the congregation to bring their bibles to church. The Holy Bible is a weapon, sharper than a double edged sword and should be ready for use at all times&lt;/a&gt;. It is the responsibility of every minister and teacher to familiarize themselves with God’s Written Word: There is no excuse here for shortcutting the truth. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;God spent thousands of years writing His Word for us to use in our daily lives as a standard to live by and a guide book to know Him: It is the greatest and most enduring work of literacy of all time and it will endure to the end of time- Anyone who wishes to change its meaning or to give it a new purpose will do so at their own peril.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; "18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (Rev 22:18-19)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;He will speak through you or over you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Servants of The Lord listen: There is a voice calling, if you will but hear and heed the charge, then whatever you do will be given honor. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/The_Ministry_of_Truth.html"&gt;God is seeking oracles of truth and if you answer His call, Jesus will lift you up on to the platform of testimony and deliverance of truth to plead His cause for redemption to the lost and sick society from whence you came.&lt;/a&gt; Proclaim freedom to the bound and vision to the blind; life to the dead in spirit, and guide all to the Throne of Grace-the portal to eternal life with Christ eternal.&lt;em&gt; "7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:7-9)." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5988646564872831435-8492451488144833162?l=cyuepistles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/feeds/8492451488144833162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5988646564872831435&amp;postID=8492451488144833162' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8492451488144833162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5988646564872831435/posts/default/8492451488144833162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/2007/11/ministry-of-truth_29.html' title='THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH'/><author><name>revron4u</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426450212081526118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2sLUiv_OFV0/SWWp-c9MRfI/AAAAAAAAABc/IN4WIDH5C9E/S220/rev_bike_th.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988646564872831435.post-910831712161009172</id><published>2007-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-22T15:11:40.903-08:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY THANKSGIVING:</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Happy Thanksgiving Saints.&lt;br /&gt;We wish everyone a wonderful day of joy and happiness.

God created you and He has a plan and a purpose for your life.&lt;br /&gt;You may have entrapped yourself in a situation or direction that you do not see a way out; God is not asleep, He is ever ready to hear from you; call out to Him right now and He will save you! &lt;em&gt;"And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved (Acts 2:21)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuepistles.blogspot.com/"&gt;You were not born just to die; you are here by Divine appointment.

He and a fellow participant were reminiscing about their days doing and dealing in drugs; attempting to reveal the absolute hold that these addictions have on those who use them. Now I realize that to reach some who are still delving in this quagmire, you may at times need to be graphic in your testimony, but these men were reliving their pasts with more mirth and belly laughter than when they would relate their walk with Christ Jesus. &lt;strong&gt;Understand that&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;I am not advocating that as ministers we are to soft-soap reality, but let us be realistic; entering once again into the intensive care ward and crawling back into yesterday’s sickbed is a sure way to reacquaint oneself with the evil grip of yesterday’s desires, of which we were set free from.&lt;/strong&gt; Scripture states, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;Ministers are to reveal the ‘Good News’ of today, not the bondage and woes of yesterday.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;God’s beauty and power through our Lord Jesus is the very cleansing agent that washes away all the pains and confusion of yesterday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Once set free from whatever it was that held you captive, do not re-live those times in thought, practice, or of the reminiscing babblings of anyone. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;Jesus is the pathway to life and freedom, not the path of doom and destruction that dwells in yesterdays failures. Jesus has offered Himself to be your indulgence and has set Angels all around you to keep you safe from the things that would cause you to stumble&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;11 "For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:11-12). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;God uses man to reveal His truth, to lift up the fallen, and to guide the blind and sick back Home: He never advocates the return to yesterday nor for one to reminisce about it.&lt;/a&gt; Put your trust in Jesus and He will protect you from harm. Put your trust in Jesus and not in any man; only here will you find the peace that you seek. &lt;em&gt;1 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust” (Psalm 91:1-2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;I want to address all of you who are teetering on the fence of doubt: To those who are preparing to concede to the lies and deception of the devil who is beckoning you into his clutches. To you who once walked in authority and strength in The Name of Jesus: Stop and turn, for there is no good thing in the quicksand of yesterday, and yesterday is all that the devil knows and is all that he can offer to you&lt;/a&gt;. Remember your victory in Christ Jesus and run back to it before you are swallowed up. God will give you renewed strength and establish once again the works of your hands if you submit to Him,&lt;em&gt; "And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands" (Psalm 90:17).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;While your strength is being renewed, remember to praise Jesus. &lt;em&gt;16 "Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thess 5:16-18). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;God has given us His Spirit to do the things we find impossible to do. Jesus says that if we believe in Him, we will be able to do all things because He gives us the strength to do them&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When in doubt of what your direction and assignment is do not be ashamed to ask; The Holy Spirit is your Helper and He is willing and waiting to show you your way.&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" (Matt 7:7-8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;There is much to do and little time to do it. Our lives are just a wisp of time and we need to be about The Fathers Business. There is no time to dwell in the lost days of yesterday; good or bad you cannot bring them back&lt;/a&gt;. You who are the called have work to do, those who do what is asked of them will be given more, to those who falter and quit, what was given will be taken away, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him" (Matt 13:12).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;Reliving yesterday’s sins and temptations by dredging them up and embellishing them as though they were trophies of grandeur will cause any who partake in this séance to stumble and fall back into the pit that Jesus set them free from.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be held accountable if one of His children falls because of your evil. Remember this, "&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Blind_Guides.html"&gt;Once saved always saved" is a lie! Jesus reminds us that it is today that we are to call on Him, to worship Him, and not to harden our hearts towards him &lt;/a&gt;- If you do, the only consequence is stated in this quote from our Lord and Savior who judges all and everything, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" (Matt 7:21-23)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LET US PRAY:&lt;/strong&gt; All Mighty God of Abraham, give me the strength today to remain in Your Gaze. Protect me from the snares of the fowler whose wishes are to turn me from Your Grace. Fill me with Your overwhelming Love that will sustain me and strengthen me to do what I must do. Guide and deliver me as I walk the walk You have chosen for me. And may I walk my path with honor and fortitude.

But first let it be understood that we do this not to point fingers, but to remind you that satan mirrors God's Truth with his ministry of deception; to confuse and detour even the "elect."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As many of you know, CYU hosts several JavaScript codes that one can place on their website. One of these scripts is called "The Daily Bread" which is a scripture out of the bible and a short thought to ponder.  On October 19th, CYU's Daily Bread was taken from Mark 10:6-9 and read like this, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;6 "But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Thought to Ponder: The marriage covenant is for a man and a woman, anything else is blasphemy towards God Jehovah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CYU did not place these words into Jesus' mouth, but The Holy Spirit places the Truth into each heart.  As a moral society, and more importantly, as Ambassador's of Christ, we must never compromise The Truth to satisfy a social progressive mindset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is a letter that we received and CYU's reply:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;To CYU Ministries,&lt;br /&gt;Our church, a member of the United Church of Christ (UCC) believes that Jesus Christ loves all people and we support complete equal rights. The "Daily Bread" feed on Oct. 19th had this very offensive line: "Thought to Ponder: The marriage covenant is for a man and a woman, anything else is blasphemy towards God Jehovah."  We support equal marriage rights and cannot trust your content to be totally compatible with our beliefs. Thank you for allowing us to use your feeds in the past.&lt;br /&gt;Mr._______&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CYU's reply:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear Mr. _______,&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for un-linking CYU Ministries Daily Bread from your  site. Yes Jesus does love all humanity, but I do not read anywhere that He condones sin. He did not die to set sin free, He conquered death and hell that all who would believe in Him would be set free.&lt;br /&gt;Apparently you and the UCC have not studied the whole bible, it starts with, "In the beginning," and ends with His warning in Rev 22:18-19. A society cannot pick and choose laws and morality to satisfy their convoluted concepts of The Truth. God wrote the Holy Bible and no matter what version you choose to study from, His mandates are clear; Sin will not enter into His realm no matter how it is camouflaged. CYU Ministries does not interpret The Word, we teach it as The Holy Spirit presents it to us; I will pray that you find the Truth, which will set you free from bondage, before it is too late.&lt;br /&gt;In His service,&lt;br /&gt;Rev.

The average age group that ranked highest in this disillusionment was between 16 -25: The new generation. What this tells me is that the church is not doing what Jesus mandated it to do; to reach out, not to reign in&lt;/a&gt;. Jesus spoke against building religious kingdoms of which some denominations have become. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;8 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men" (Matt 15:8-9).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;The commandments of men, as Jesus mentioned is the key of destruction that is infiltrating the church today, The obligation and duty of every believer is to nurture their morality, to elevate their personage, and to present themselves as honorable:&lt;/a&gt; To teach this new and lost generation the righteousness of Jesus and the love of The Father.&lt;em&gt; "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him (Prov 30:5)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;"Me first, get out of my way.."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;There have been two momentous changes in this century affecting Christianity: In 1962, prayer was abolished in American schools and most recently the infiltration of homosexuals to preach and teach from the pulpit. Satan works tirelessly to rot the core of humanity and many of the Christian churches today are fertilizing his goals.&lt;/a&gt; We live in a now generation; self-propitiating, self-indulging; a 'me first get out of my way' generation - rude and foul-mouthed. &lt;em&gt;11 "There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother. 12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness" (Prov 5:11-12).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whose fault is this? &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;It is the parent’s responsibility to raise up their children in a morally sound and stable household.&lt;/a&gt; Our young society is not learning morality by example, from within the church walls, our social progressive educational system, or the family unit.&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;What then are we to do? We cannot abolish organized religion as the social progressives desire to do. We need to clean up our house and take responsibility for our lives. We need to be unashamed of The Gospel and teach by example. We need to clean up and reinstate morality on the pulpit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;As believers, we need to get out of the security of the four walls and go out into all the world proclaiming Jesus is Lord. It is the responsibility of every churchgoer to treat his or her sanctuary as Holy Ground. We need to forget the past and step into today with joy and thanksgiving.&lt;em&gt;18 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland" (Isaiah 43:18-19).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;back to basics..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;Christianity today is made up of many denominations both good and bad. Let us strive to reclaim the church In The Name of Jesus, for The Love of Jesus, sharing The Love of Jesus with a lost and disillusioned society. &lt;/a&gt; Turn from self and evil will flee. Focus on The Love of Christ and why He came to walk among us. Teach by an example of selflessness and caring for others and let The Father take care of you&lt;em&gt;."You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Christianity101.html"&gt; Remember the generation we raise up today will one day take care of us.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it (Prov 22:6)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LET US PRAY: "Lord forgive us for defiling your church. Look upon us as worthy and strengthen us with the knowledge to choose what is good and acceptable in Your Eyes. Guide us as we go forth among the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Fill us with joy and surround us with purpose as we venture out this day.

Christians are hard pressed on all sides to conform and to denounce the Name of Jesus - Don’t do it; stand firm in your resolve and commitment to the Truth that set you free. Without The Lord Jesus in your life, where would you be? &lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:16-18).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouble is all around us and satan is continually scouring the earth to see whom he can devour. &lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8).&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;The liberals, the humanists, the social progressives and the religious dominions of this age, do not want to hear the name of Jesus, nor for us to pray in the name of Jesus. The deceiver satan, the father of confusion and deception, wants to control and imprison you; Jesus the Christ wants to set you free.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you focus on evil, destruction and the troubles that surround you, the victory that you found in Christ will be lost.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil" (Prov 11:27).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;Be confident, my brothers and sisters, for if we lose heart we will surely perish. Finish your race and be confident knowing that you were formed for a purpose and that purpose is revealed through Jesus:&lt;/a&gt; He alone is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and He has you in His Hands. With God, all things are possible; without Him in your life, you are simply left to chance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Have you strayed away?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;You will never be alone nor do you ever need to seek someone else to hear your cries; Jesus will always be with you&lt;/a&gt;, no matter where you are, how unworthy you feel, or how far you have tried to leave Him behind. &lt;em&gt;"The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above" (Proverbs 14:14).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;If you find yourself blaming God for things that are going astray in your life stop it, it is not His fault it's yours.&lt;/a&gt; Pay less attention to the perceived oracles of God and give more attention to what Jesus is telling you by His Spirit.&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt; Jesus will not do a miracle in your life if you are still dabbling and hanging onto the sin that caused you to reach out to Jesus in the first place.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For those of you who are contemplating going back from whence you came I have to tell you, “Do Not Do It.”&lt;/strong&gt; Just remember how things were before you found your freedom in Christ Jesus.  &lt;strong&gt;There is no good thing in the pit that you crawled out of, and going back there is sure death&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;If you really want to serve Jesus, serve Him with all your heart and soul, if not get out of the way; do not become a stumbling block for someone who wishes to. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4).&lt;/em&gt; We all walk through the shadows of life, but doing it with out a light is foolish; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;Jesus is the Light, He is the Way and He will never guide you astray. Trust in Jesus, lean on Him, give Him your best and you will receive His best for you.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;"5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths" (Prov 3:5-6). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cyuministries.org/images/CYUline.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;Live for The Lord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him (John 14:23)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Jesus loves and wants you Home with Him. He is continually touching you with His Spirit, to guide and strengthen you;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt; just as a drill instructor in the military trains his troops, Jesus is teaching you His requirements for service, to love unconditionally and to give God all the glory.&lt;/a&gt; You do not need any special qualifications nor do you need to be squeaky clean inside and out-&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Peace_and_Prosperity.html"&gt;All that is needed to serve in The Army of The Lord is a heart that loves and a soul that cares for others more than self.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jesus will teach you all you need to know, where to go, and what to do when you get there if you are willing.&lt;/strong&gt; The benefits are wonderful and the retirement cannot be beat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever" (Psalm 23:6). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;Hallelujah! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LET'S PRAY: Father, right now we pray for those who are teetering on the fence.

Everyday, people make the choice to build, live, work and play in harms way, and then when something catastrophic happens, God is always the first to be blamed, i.e. ’an act of God.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;Let us stop blaming God and start praising Him for protecting us from the unseen natural forces that are at work all around us.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;God's Hand holds back the magma that could spew out of the Earth. His Hand balances this spinning globe and keeps us from falling into the sun. He holds back the seas that could once again cover the earth and drown out all life. His Hand alone holds back the asteroids that could strike the Earth and destroy it. Let us not provoke The Lord&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD (Genesis 6:5-8)." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Let us become as Noah, honorable in God’s Eyes. The Lord abides in the praises of His children; let us praise Him. &lt;em&gt;"6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil 4:6-7)." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;think twice, speak once.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;Anxiety causes many to stumble; and why are we anxious? Because we are impatient! We live in a get it fast, get it done now society:&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;There is no profit in this, only stress. The commercialization of every thing that is done today has caused this generation to scurry about, be easily angered, to be obnoxious and rude.&lt;em&gt; "All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast (Prov 15:15)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;Do the opposite of what is the norm today: Smile, be cordial, look in the eyes to whom you are speaking, reach out a helping hand to someone in need, open the door for the other person; say excuse me when you walk in front of another’s view, do not curse, do not argue in public, and above all be patient&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;- For a moment gained in anger may give you a life time of grief. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit (Prov 15:13)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EVIL GENERATION:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This generation has become numb to evil. We are inundated with pornography, adultery, homosexuality, lewd &amp; rude behavior. The marketers of smut have anesthetized the naive public to believe that this is an acceptable life style. Do not be fooled or lulled into this scheme. We must stand up for honor &amp;amp; decency and overthrow this evil infection that is sweeping the world today, or face the consequences of a liberal progressive society believing, “If it feels good do it, no matter the cost.” &lt;em&gt;"9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9-10)." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;do not be afraid to change&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;If you are in this vortex of progressive humanism, you can escape. All you need to do is to believe in The One True God, and access Him by receiving His Son Jesus The Messiah into your heart. Jesus loves you, He died for you, He will turn your life around; ask Him and be prepared for a life changing transformation that will make you shout, "I am free."&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Do not be afraid to change, you are only shedding the lie for the truth.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27)."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It only takes one to change the course of history, are you that one? You may be if you step up to the plate and take a swing&lt;/strong&gt;. Do not listen or receive negativity, not even from yourself. Jesus says that when we are weak, He is strong…lean on Him. "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want (Psalm 23:1)." Whatever is needed for battle, is just an ask away.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;We have been given full authority to overcome evil and to move mountains: All that is needed is faith.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE LORD IS OUR REWARD:&lt;br /&gt;Our satisfaction is knowing, after the good fight of faith, we are rewarded&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over (Psalm 23:5)"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://cyuministries.org/Satisfaction_Guaranteed.html"&gt;Become the someone who is kind and caring, not giving into the wars that rage within you.
