I have never been much for having someone taking of Me. Been able to take care of myself for most of my life. But sometimes God with put things in your path that are not only different and very difficult to bare. I made the decision to go ahead and have my second total knee replacement left went great. Shoulder went great. So why not, but this one while is healing. It was done differently and that is where the problem lies. I am now in a rehab center. Waiting to start my pt. And truthfully feeling really sorry for myself. But more importantly forgetting that God has this. Now some of you know,I sang in school, and then sang professionally on a local home town thing. And now I sing I Church, giving back the gift God gave me to him. Anyway, and nurse came in and we started talking and Charles the best husband EVER, said I sing so I let one go How Great though Art. When done she loved it , I thanked her and then hand a overwhelming feeling to share my testimony, so I did. When I was done. She placed her hand on here chest and said. I am going through something and you have really helped me to hear that. I thought oh my. Maybe this has happened for this very reason. Is I told you this, to say this. No matter what you are going through God can use it. GOOD OR BAD, God can use it. So I am going to, use this as a positive, and to begin to show that God is in me and that I am here for a reason. And I pray that God will show me this reason. Open yourself to what God has planned for you. And any situation can be achieved and amazing with God who lives within me. So I love you all and all for the glory of our precious lord. ❤️ Teri,

How Christians Walk in the world
Near the end of His earthly ministry, Jesus prayed to the Father on behalf of His disciples what has been called His High Priestly Prayer (John 17). When we consider the content of His High Priestly prayer, we soon discover indicatives regarding the state of His followers in the world as well as imperatives on how they should walk in the world. In the midst of these two aspects of our Lord's teaching about the relationship between His people and the world, we learn that there is one over-arching purpose for Christians and our relationship with the world. Let’s take a brief look at these three things:
Indicatives
Christians are in the world (John 17:11).
While this might be obvious to the reader, the point is that Christians are not physically separate from the world. Christians are in the world in the sense that they occupy the same space, go to the same markets and interact in the same society as non-Christians. They are not people who form their own sub-cultures or ghettos to avoid the world. They recognize where God has placed them and do not run from that reality. They are relatable, accessible, and approachable to those in the world in normal, ordinary ways (e.g., friend, neighbor, coworker, classmate, teammate, etc.).
Christians are not of the world (John 17:16).
Christians do not belong to the world. They are not longer conformed to the values and ways of living common in the culture and society around them. They belong to the kingdom of God and therefore have a new identity and loyalty to the King and his kingdom. Therefore, while they are in the world, they do not belong to our embrace the world as those who do not belong to Jesus Christ.
Christians are hated by the world (John 17:14).
It stands to reason that if Christians are not conforming to the world and its ways, the world would mock, ridicule, detest, and hate the counter-cultural ways of Christians. Therefore, as Jesus says, his followers should not be surprised that the world hates us. The world hated Him first and crucified him for who he was. In a later epistle, John wrote that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one (1 John 5:19). The strong distinction of being in the world and not of the world causes Christians to be hated by the world who does not accept the King in whose kingdom we gladly live.
Imperatives
Christians are called to remain in the world (John 17:15).
Jesus knew his followers would be hated by the world. He knew there would be consequences and a high cost to identifying with him, and yet Jesus asks the Father that his disciples would remain in the world that has a predisposition of hatred and contempt. Christians are not to compromise or conform to the world due to this hatred, because that would be a denial of our identity. We are not to retaliate with violence or acts of force, because that would be a denial of his sovereignty. Rather, we are to respond like Jesus and suffer the hatred and mocking and contempt as the glory of God is put on display in our trials. By remaining in the world, we are called to love those who hate us, to bless those who curse us, and to give our lives away for those who have not given their lives to Jesus Christ.
Christians are sent into the world (John 17:18).
There is a temptation that every Christian will experience when faced with the reality that they are called to remain in a world that hates them. Should I embrace this suffering? Can I just retreat and retrench and wait for His return? The answer is clearly no. Jesus has sent his disciples into the world, and this speaks of a mission. The suffering Christian is sent to present Christ through their witness as an offense without being offensive. We do not shrink back due to the forces of hatred but press with greater, more powerful forces of love and compassion. In the same way that darkness cannot overcome light, even death cannot overcome his disciples because Christ has taken away its sting and no long has victory of us.
Overarching Purpose
Christians walk in the world so that the world may believe in Jesus Christ (John 17:21).
In and through all that Christians are and do in the world is the fundamental purpose of seeing people come to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus indicated in his prayer that there will be those who believe in him through the gospel proclamation of his disciples sent into the world to be hated and suffer for His name’s sake. Christians do not exist to mark time. They exist to see his kingdom come, and our existence is laced with a passion for seeking first that kingdom in all things and with all people, knowing we have a king so worthy of having worshippers from every generation and every nation, tongue, and tribe gathering around his throne.
Every Christians needs to know who they are, what they are called to do, and why they live in this particular way in the world. In this conversation of the Son with the Father, we get a clear picture that should become the mirror in our morning to remind us of these realities and responsibilities. The great assurance we have in this life is knowing these realities and responsibilities are comprised in a prayer that will never go unanswered, so let us so live, move, and have our being in Christ that the world sees, hears, and believes in Jesus as Lord!

There are so many ways that Jesus has said “I love you” with His life Why Jesus Now
THERE are so many ways that Jesus has said 'l love you ' life, but here are five ways that He does so: Jesus shows us His love by inviting us to His eternal home and welcoming us. Jesus forgives us with open arms when we repent. He waits patiently for us to show up with a surrendered heart and willingness to chanlge. WHY?
When you die, you won’t cease to exist. You will spend eternity somewhere. Heaven is real, but so is Hell. People don't like to talk about Hell - or think about it. But it's real. And we need to talk about it; everyone's eternity depends on it.
Simply put, Heaven is for those who have received forgiveness from God for their wrongs. Hell is for those who have not.
God is a good, good Father. He wants you to have a relationship and an eternity with Him where all things are made right.
How do you get forgiveness from God?
JESUS
The only way to receive forgiveness for your sins is asking Jesus Christ. Jesus is the son of the one true God. He gave his life and died on the cross as a penalty for our wrongs. Jesus paid the price for us that results in forgiveness for our sins from God.
But forgiveness doesn’t happen automatically. You have to accept Jesus as savior of your life.
How do you accept Jesus as your savior?
NOW
You can accept Jesus as your savior right now by praying the following prayer. (Say it out loud, embracing every word with your heart.)
Prayer to be saved
God, I am sorry for the wrongs I have committed. Please forgive me. Jesus, you are the son of God. Thank you for paying the penalty for my sins through your death on the cross. I believe you rose from the dead and are in Heaven. I accept you as my savior and Lord. Jesus, I invite you to come into my life now.

YOU ARE NOW ON

THE CUTTING EDGE

Cutting Edge, Ministries is dedicated to warning and informing God's people. We are committed to the study and exposition of the inerrant, inspired and authoritative Word of God. Our society is deteriorating, and Bible-believing Christians are ill-prepared to face that deterioration. But, to add "insult to injury", most Christian Churches of this day are Apostate to their very core, having moved a great distance away from the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth, of God's Holy Bible. Herein lies the disaster: no society can hope to survive if its churches lose their "salt and light", whereby they can prevent or re**rd the putrefaction of society through sin and moral degradation. Our churches -- by and large -- have lost their way, and our society is putrefying right before our eyes, in the Daily News!

Cutting Edge Ministries is dedicated to preparing God's people to meet the challenges of the Day, and to encourage obedience to the Word of God in being separated from worldliness and false doctrine. Even though the moral bankruptcy of our society is well-documented, few people understand why we have become morally bankrupt. However, when we look at society through the eyes of God, through the Bible, we can easily see why we are facing the unprecedented troubles today. This study of America through the eyes of God is what we will always do try to here; stay with us for some eye-opening truths.

PART 1

Bible Truth: "God is love" [1 John 4:8]

Since unredeemed people are constantly trying to find ways in which to avoid God's tough but necessary commandments, and since no one wants to even think about eternal judgment in Hell, people have gone to great lengths to twist this simple Biblical truth into the statement: "God is only love". If you do not believe this, let us examine some of these instances in which 1 John 4:8 has been so twisted. The fundamental flaw in the "God is only Love" concept is that the conclusion is quickly reached, where adherents to this position talk themselves into believing that no God Who is only Love could ever punish someone in Hell for eternity; therefore, God is re-created into a Grandfather figure, who will reluctantly throw the doors of eternal Heaven wide open to allow just about everyone who has ever lived to enter in.

God's Nature is multi-faceted, where each of His Attributes flows in parallel with the other, and each is equal in all its perfections. Thus, God's Judgment is just as perfect and eternal and just as powerful as His Love. But, false teachers in the Christian Church are not telling their people this reality; therefore, millions are being deceived, at the very moment the world is sliding into the Kingdom of Antichrist.

Very soon, we shall all be standing before Jesus Christ, believers at the "Judgment Seat of Christ" and unbelievers at the White Throne Judgment. None of us wants to hear Jesus say:

"Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven ... Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly, disregarding My commands." [Matthew 7:21-23; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

Many people who earnestly thought they were going to Heaven are going to find themselves going to Hell!! Many of the people will have had great and powerful works done in the Lord's name, and many shall even have had huge followings, and will have been highly respected during their lifetimes. Yet, Jesus will tell them:

"I never knew you; depart from Me"

The key to understanding the basis upon which Jesus will reject many earnest religious people and send them to Hell is in the final part of this verse:

"... depart from Me, you who act wickedly, disregarding My commands."

Since the Bible contains Jesus' commands, it is to the Bible we must cling, and only to the Bible. Cutting Edge Ministries wants to follow the Bible as far as it goes, but taking care not to go further on an issue than the Bible goes, not to read into text any of man's human wisdom or understanding. In today's End of the Age church apostasy, reading into God's Word to make it say what it does not say is epidemic and millions may pay for this error with their eternal souls. In NEWS1935, we show how man's interpretation is epidemic in traditional End of the Age prophecy teaching. If you have not read it, please do so, for the words out of Dr. Timothy Ice's mouth is shattering and proves our point.

As we examine this key point of apostasy -- that God is only Love -- please bear in mind we must stick to the Bible, believing what it says and only what it says. "Adding to" Scripture is the key heresy of the past 2,000 years, and has crept stealthily into the Christian Church today.

Let us examine this key Apostasy that will lead to Antichrist as surely as sunset follows sunrise -- that "God is only love".

Groups Who Teach This Heresy

* Gay Christians.org

"We are a 'network' of friends around the world. Our position is that there is no 'sin' in homosexuality.

Rev 1:1-3 This book is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; the whole Bible is so; for all revelation comes through Christ, and all relates to him. Its principal subject is to discover the purposes of God concerning the affairs of the church, and of the nations as connected therewith, to the end of the world. These events would surely come to pass; and they would begin to come to pass very shortly. Though Christ is himself God, and has light and life in himself, yet, as Mediator between God and man, he receives instructions from the Father. To him we owe the knowledge of what we are to expect from God, and what he expects from us. The subject of this revelation was, the things that must shortly come to pass. On all who read or hear the words of the prophecy, a blessing is pronounced. Those are well employed who search the Bible. It is not enough that we read and hear, but we must keep the things that are written, in our memories, in our minds, in our affections, and in practice, and we shall be blessed in the deed. Even the mysteries and difficulties of this book are united with discoveries of God, suited to impress the mind with awe, and to purify the soul of the reader, though he may not discern the prophetic meaning. No part of Scripture more fully states the gospel, and warns against the evil of sin.
Revelation 1:1. The book opens with the title or inscription of the book itself, and an account of the scope and design of it, namely, to fore tell things which should shortly begin to be fulfilled, and should succeed in their due season and order till all were accomplished. Author of Revelation. The book of Revelation starts with “this is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John” (NLT). So, the divine author of Revelation is Jesus Christ and the human author is the Apostle John. ,,,REV,,12,,12“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” 14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.…There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.----…Rev ; 21 ; 26 And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations. 27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.,,,27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!” 28But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” 29As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.…
This verse is usually interpreted as a prophetic word by Jesus about Himself: Matthew 12:40: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.—16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.,,,John,14 21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”“ John ,, 14;24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.”,,,,,Romans 3:23 teaches that man is a sinner that comes short of the glory of God. Man has sinned, which demonstrates he is not perfect like God. Therefore, man does not measure up to God’s glory, but instead, comes short of it.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). This verse is arguably the most precise Gospel presentation in all of Scripture: it leads us to understand our sinful nature, while promising eternal life in Christ. But is there more to it?,, sincerely yours
