Beloved Friends In Christ Jesus, Very Special, Warm and Loving GREETINGS To You! Thank you for visiting our site and familiarizing yourself with my work. I am honored that you have chosen to visit today and trust that through our journey God will intercede. You are most welcome to stay awhile and browse through information about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This site has been condensed for the sake of brevity while still presenting the most important information about Christianity and other world matters in our new format. Light of Christ Internet Ministries is an integral part of Glorify Christ Network.
The Holy Bible authoritatively tells us that we should believe in Jesus Christ as the ONE True God and ONE in the Holy Trinity. (I Am The Lord Thy God. Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me. -- 1st and 2nd Commandments), therefore, we must assure that we are always in compliance. (See also ACTS 17:24-31 (KJV). "He that believeth on HIM is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the ONLY begotten Son of God." -- JOHN 3:18 (KJV). "Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." -- JOHN 14:6 (KJV). No Other Religion, Faith, Prophet, or Religious Leader Can Make That Claim With The Same Authority! Remember -- Jesus Christ The Son of God IS The ONLY ONE Who Was Crucified, Died (for our sins), Was Buried And Who *RESURRECTED*, Returning To Speak To His Followers Afterwards For 40 days-- And Who Continues To LIVE Today! He is the Only ONE who can grant us SALVATION!
"At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 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 14:20-21 (KJV). "My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." -- PSALM 121:2 (KJV). "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." -- JUDE 24-25 (KJV). The Holy Bible Plainly Tells Us: "Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by JESUS CHRIST, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To with, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in CHRIST'S stead, be ye reconciled to God." -- 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-20 (KJV).
Why Should We Give Our Life To Jesus Christ, Become Baptized By Immersion In Water and By The Holy Ghost (Laying-on-of-hands), Become BORN AGAIN and Prepare For Eternal Life After Death? Because Ultimately, Little Else Matters Except For Loving One Another As Christ Taught Us To Do. We Must Also PRAY DAILY For All Who Have Passed On. They WILL Hear Our Prayers and Be Elevated Into Greater Christ Light! Remember when praying for any situation, pray in the Name of Jesus Christ -- that not your will but rather *His Will* be done. "Thy Will Be Done". Dr. Lance is "Touching The World With Hands Of Light In The Spirit Of Love: ALWAYS FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF GOD!". Remember That Without Jesus Christ In Your Life It Just Isn't Worth It!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following excerpt is from a beautiful Christmas card that I received that made me feel really good, and I wanted to share it with all of you. "Everytime I'm in your presence I receive healing. Your loving Christ-spirit shines so brightly that you bless and heal all those you encounter on your spiritual journey. You're an amazing man!" -- R. C., Texas"But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me." -- MARK 9:39 (KJV). Ask Now and invoke The Holy Spirit, who will come when you ask Him for His presence. "How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" -- LUKE 11:13 (KJV).
In the Christed Vibration,
Reverend Dr. Lance, D.D.,Ph.D.,D.B.S.

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.

AMEN.
Note: Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior taught man to say this important prayer as a way to know how to pray. Each word, phrase, and sentence contains a KEY with which your Heavenly Father hears your request! Don't just say the words without thinking about their meaning. Truly Believe in what you are praying and pray with great feeling in your heart.

"And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." -- MARK 16:15-16 (KJV) "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." -- MATTHEW 24:14 (KJV)
Dr. Lance's Christian Ministries is founded and principally-based on Belief in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son who died for our sins and Resurrected to give us Eternal Life (Salvation) and who sits at the right hand of The Father. We also have the Laying-On-Of-Hands, Prayers, Comforting Words of Hope and Compassion, Love, Anointing, Etc. "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God." -- JOHN 3:18 (KJV); "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. " -- I JOHN 4: 12-15 (KJV). We Firmly Believe In The Apostles' Creed. For any illness or condition, it is suggested that you also contact your licensed physician, doctor, or other health care professional. God also gave physicians the gift of healing.
We Welcome ALL who wish to learn about and partake in the many blessings of Christ Jesus! We are a ministry that keeps our "cyberdoors" open to those who feel led to learn about Christ, His Light and His wonderful acts of Love. IF YOU ARE SEEKING PRAYER, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I WILL BE HAPPY TO LIFT UP YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS TO THE LORD JESUS (see "PRAYER SANCTUM" at main index). If Any Of You Do Not Know Jesus And Are Wanting To Know Christ Better, Or Perhaps You Have Strayed Away From Christianity And Are Receiving An Inward Call To Return, Please Contact Me with your Name and E-Mail Address in the body of your E-mail And I Will Be Very Happy To Tell You More About Christ! I have also written these articles you may freely request. "THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST"; "GOD Is *Not* The Enemy!"; "Christ Jesus Crushes the Deceiver!"; "For Those Who Feel Alone Right Now"; "Soul Healing"; "A Daily Reflector and Self-Motivator". Remember to always honor and glorify The HOLY SPIRIT!
"And Jesus Went About All Galilee, Teaching In Their Synagogues, and Preaching The Gospel Of The Kingdom, and Healing All Manner of Sickness and All Manner Of Disease Among the People." -- MATTHEW 4:23 (KJV)
BAPTISM BY WATER And THE HOLY SPIRIT - Have You Thought About It And Its Importance In Your Life!
All Scripture Is From King James Version (KJV).The Importance of Baptism By Water and The Holy Ghost cannot be overstated! Today, there are many who unfortunately simply do not know if they were ever baptized or not. Others appear to be too busy to stop and think about the importance of Baptism in their life. Baptism by immersion in water, by The Holy Ghost is a very important and integral part of Christianity and Christian teachings. Without baptism and belief in God, the Bible informs us, a person's soul is in grave danger. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." -- MARK 16:16. Christ Jesus has unequivocally also told us "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and , lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." -- MATTHEW 28: 19-20. It is very important to do as Christ Jesus has told us and to observe all things He has commanded. This includes, in part, to Love One Another, as was His Last Commandment. Where there is Love, hate dissipates and Love heals the hurt in the world through people's thoughts, words, beliefs, and deeds (their charitable and benevolent Loving actions towards self and others).
In addition, We Must Also Believe: THE BLOOD OF CHRIST WAS SHED FOR THE ATONEMENT OF SINS "And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness." -- LEVITICUS 16:16
IN BEING BORN AGAIN "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be Born Again, he *cannot* see the kingdom of God." -- JOHN 3:2-3
CHRIST'S VIRGIN BIRTH "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary." -- LUKE 1:26-27
GOD'S CREATION OF MAN "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: -- ROMANS 1:20
ETERNAL PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE WHO ARE WICKED AND EVIL AND WILL NOT GIVE THEIR LIFE TO GOD "Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? -- JOB 31: 3-4
MAN IS A SINNER AND HIS NEED TO BE REDEEMED "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." -- I PETER 2:24-25. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." -- JOHN 5:24
Further, the importance in your life of becoming Baptized by Water and The Holy Ghost is addressed in ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 2:38: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be *Baptized* every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."<>< <>< THE PRAYER STEPS TO BECOME BORN AGAIN! <>< <><
In reciting the following Blessed Words and truly giving your life to Christ Jesus you are Born Again, shedding your "old self" and becoming anew! For those who hear the call to join the ranks of those who will Live Eternally In Peace, recite the following: " Dear Lord Heavenly Father, I Come To Confess and Accept The Fact That I Am A Sinner! I Also Know That The Seed Of Sin Becomes The Fruit Of Death, Therefore, Right At This Moment, Father, I Am Most Sorry For All Of My Sins! I Firmly Believe That Jesus Christ Paid The Price On The Cross So That I Can Live Eternally! I Confess Jesus Christ As My Savior and Believe That He Was Raised From Death By God! I Will Become Baptized By Water and The Holy Ghost In The Name of Christ Jesus. I Believe That The Spirit Of Jesus Christ Will Reside In Me Forevermore! I Humbly Ask For Salvation In Your Name O, Jesus Christ! I Vow To Follow You My Lord and Savior From This Day Forward and For Eternity and Believe In My Heart, With All Of My Soul and Spirit, That You Have SAVED Me. Amen!"
(Pause) Now, With Contrite Heart, Acknowledge the Fact That You Have Sinned But That Christ, By His Resurrection, Gives Us Eternal Life. And Believe In the Forgiveness Of Your Sins. Invite Christ Jesus To Enter Your New Life and Bring Salvation Unto You. Feel and Accept These Words As True and Vow To Follow Him Always and Forevermore! Now Say the Following: "Praise Be Given To Christ's Name! Christ Jesus, My Lord and Savior, I Thank Thee and Praise Thee and I Honor and Glorify You! I LOVE YOU CHRIST JESUS! YOU *ARE* MY FATHER! I Honor, Acknowledge, and Accept These Words In the Name of Jesus Christ My God Forever and Ever. Amen!"
Jesus Christ Welcomes You Now To Be With Him Eternally! "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." -- REVELATION 3:20-21 (KJV)
Say and Believe in THE APOSTLE'S CREED. May God Bless You and keep you safe from all harm and temptation. Please join me now in reflecting upon these wonderful Biblical words: "But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." -- JUDE 17-25 (KJV).

________________________________________________________________________
!!! MESSAGE FOR THESE TIMES !!!The Lord Jesus Christ has revealed that man stubbornly still does not wish to fully recognize what is happening at this time. For many centuries His Most Blessed Mother Mary has been appearing all over the world (even photographed) bringing her message of the need for Prayer, Forgiveness, and Repentance for our sins. Man has deliberately not heeded her message. This has caused much sadness in Heaven and Christ has shed many tears over it as well as His mother. But in His incomparable compassion, Jesus has not yet lifted His mighty hand to bring full destruction to those who are complacent and who continue in sin. He is giving people the opportunity to change their ways and bring themselves into alignment with His purpose but how much longer can He wait? The purpose is to Love One Another and to bring Peace on Earth. Instead, many are rejoicing over evil. Much of that is portrayed in music and film. Christ is much saddened by that. His mother weeps each time she sees that the world is not changing but only getting worse. Wars, destruction, blasphemy, murder, and many more heinous acts are being committed each and every day that greatly hurt God. Yet, people seem to prefer this way of living rather than to live in Harmony and Peace and to Love their fellow man as God commands.
It is because man prefers to live in his evil ways (that will bring further condemnation to his own soul), that much grief and suffering must ensue. For each person who lives outside the boundaries of God's laws will inevitably suffer. This translates into misery, famine, sickness, financial lack, destruction, and even death. But God does not bring these conditions upon His people. They do it unto themselves. He does allow it, but only so people will learn from the experience and become closer to Him. It appears that people, through ignorance, low self-esteem, and capriciousness, have not yet learned and thus, they continue to suffer. They rather rejoice in great celebration of things that are not germane to their spiritual growth. They would rather channel all of their energy into that which is trivial instead of that which is vital to their soul's growth. Thus, they have created a condition for themselves known as the "suffering human condition". God is not amused. He feels sad for those who have chosen this path but allows it as each has free will choice. When people begin to understand the importance of aligning totally with Jesus Christ and giving their life to Him, they will begin to take the necessary steps towards their Salvation. But if they fail to do so, they will be imperiled through their own decision to live a wayward life rather than one that takes full Love into consideration.
"But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." -- 1 JOHN 1:7 (KJV).

~**~ REVEREND DR. LANCE'S CHALICE OF LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR MOTHERS! ~**~
A MOTHER IS WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD! We Will Never Forget Her And Shall Love Her Eternally! Christ Assures Us: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." -- JOHN 14:18 (KJV). "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you ..." -- ISAIAH 66: 13 (KJV).Your mother is one great and very special, beautiful lady who gave you your life, who carried you right under her heart with Love for nine months and taught you how to become a good person, how to obey the Golden Rule and how to Trust and Love God with all of your heart. She cared and sacrificed so much for you and was always there filled with compassion when you needed her the most, offering moral support and just letting you know that you were not alone in your most uncertain times. Yes, for all of the things a Mother does, she gets little pay or even remembrance until it is too late. For those fortunate enough to still have their Mother, NOW is the time to honor your Beloved Mother, if you haven't been doing it, and to Tell Her That YOU LOVE HER! You remember the sweet, loving kisses that she gave and still gives to you, and to pray for her and make her life a little easier. Remember, if it was not for her, you wouldn't be alive today! NOW is the time to reach out to your dear Mother and give her that hug you have been wanting to give her but never seemed to find the right time. NOW is the time to kiss her soft cheek and tell her how much she truly means to you. NOW is the time to make her life a little easier by avoiding arguments with her (Just For Today, Do Not Anger) and by giving her a hug instead of uttering a cruel word. And NOW is the time to Really Mean what you just did for tomorrow may be too late. She may not be here tomorrow and how you wish you had honored her, obeyed her, respected and Loved her While You Still Could. So, Do Not Put Off What You Can Do Today! Beloved, if you have lost your Mother and are grieving and need to communicate with someone, please know that as an ordained minister and a sincere friend, I am here for you with Love and Compassion. "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." -- MATTHEW 5:4 (KJV). "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." -- ISAIAH 41:10 (KJV). "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." -- REVELATION 21:4 (KJV)
† Christian Spiritual Bereavement Discourse - To those who are having a hard time with the loss of a dear one, I am available to speak with you personally through e-mail. It is, at times, very hard to hold something like that inside, and many feel the need and desire for communication during this especially difficult time. The spirit of the Lord speaks to me with messages, many times, especially for those who are grieving. Please include your Full Name, E-mail Address, and City, State, or Country where you are from when requesting bereavement discourse. May God Bless You and may your pain be lessened through Jesus Christ. To write to me for compassionate discourse, please Click Here.

GREAT BOOKS I LIKED READING! ~~~
"LEAVE IT TO GOD" by Christian D. Larson. ISBN: 087516191X. Published by DeVORSS & Co., Marina Del Rey, California U.S.A. "This has to be one of the very best little books I have EVER read! I highly recommend it to anyone who is experiencing any kind of problem or problems in their life. It is simply OUTSTANDING!" -- Dr. Lance.
"The Wonderful Name of JESUS" by E.W. Kenyon. Published by Kenyon's Gospel Publishing Society P.O. Box 973 Lynnwood, Washington 98046 U.S.A. "Another GREAT work! Very informative. I was very excited to read it!" -- Dr. Lance.
===============================================================
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~~~ THE SPIRITUAL AND HUMANITARIAN CORNER
~~~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
* Please Pray For All Areas Of The World Where The Holy Bible And The Teachings Of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Are Not Being Welcomed. May They Believe In Him, See His Light and Feel His Permeating Love!
* Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary are heard by her. The HAIL MARY should be said daily. God's Mother desires to receive this prayer daily for the sins of the world and to give grace to those who pray with a sincere heart and who wear her Miraculous Medal. Also, pray a Novena for your most difficult cases and pray the following daily: "Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen."
Know that Love never ceases if it exists in the heart. Even our dearly departed always stay close to us through that highest vibration! Jesus, in His Last Commandment, told us to "Love One Another". Did you know that is the HARMONIOUS KEY to this life and the next!
* All Must Also Do Their Part To Help the Poor and Elderly Women, Men, and the Children In The World. Charity and LOVE Is The Key! Pray For The Poor and Those Who Have Little Possessions. (A Special Prayer For All Churches Who Do Not Regularly Help The Poor As Jesus Expects For Them To Do. May They Open To Love In Christ's Name.)
* Please study and reflect on I TIMOTHY 4: 1-6 (KJV). Then I say to you, to those, including Clergy, who would keep Christians from taking The Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion -- Christ's Body and His Blood, based upon prejudices or what they wrongfully perceive to be in following God's wishes, let it be known that Jesus Christ would be Very Offended by such action. Christ shared and shares His supper and His meals with all those who Believe in Him and follow Him, How can man do any less and have the audacity to say they are doing it In His Name! SHAME ON THEM! We Rebuke Those Who Would Keep Communion From Those Who Are Ready and Desirous To Receive It. Likewise, the Gifts of Marriage and Eating Meat That God Gave To Us Should Not Be Restricted By Man. Those Who Restrict Such Things Will Have To Answer To God For Their Actions On Judgment Day -- of that there can be no doubt, since God sees, hears, and knows ALL. Pray that those with such beliefs hear the Word of God and heed it and stop denying Christ's Body and His Blood to those whom Christ calls to receive it. "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To Visit the Fatherless and Widows In Their Affliction, and To Keep Himself Unspotted From the World." -- JAMES 1: 26-27 (KJV). "Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times." -- Psalm 106:3 (KJV) . May God's Holy Spirit speak to your heart and may you ALWAYS hear and follow His every word.

THE MINISTER'S PULPIT -- DISCUSSION *~~
Spiritually Speaking, Where Are You? -- In this day and age, man is not paying attention to the fact that he is here for only a short time. We are, in effect, only traveling through this world. To a Christian, this is not our true world -- Heaven is! We have been born in this life to honor and obey God, to learn our lessons, to Love, help, and teach others the word of God through Jesus Christ, and to show God how we can handle adversity in our life and still maintain our Faith in Him. But few even stop to think about this. They live their life as if they will always be here without having to answer to God for their doings. That is the wrong way to think. For every action there is a consequence, be it good or bad. While most people think only about the fun they can be having in this world, in God's world (Heaven) each and every action done here is being very carefully recorded. The problem is these fun-loving people don't stop to think how their actions are going to affect them in the Hereafter. What you have sown here, you will surely reap there. That is God's law of Cause and Effect.
It is best to be cognizant of the fact that you are only staying in a house (Earth) temporarily provided for you and that when you leave you are not able to take what has been placed in that house, and if you did, what good would it do you where you are going? If it is money you like, remember that you can't take it with you! If it is pleasure, be careful, for all that is done both in accordance as well as not in accordance with God's laws is recorded and you will be asked to provide reasons for your actions and remember that you cannot lie to God who will be judging you! The same goes for living a dishonest life or one full of self-centeredness, self-aggrandizement, greed, disception, perdition, etc. where God is not the focal point in your life. A Reminder: 1PETER 5:8 (KJV): "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
The time to start seeing things clearly is now. You have an excellent chance to erase bad behavior and begin anew by asking God to forgive and then help you become a better person. He will. He knows of your struggles and your pain and He would not leave you all alone in your time of need or give you more than you can possibly bear. But He will also allow you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes so that they are not repeated. Think of this seriously and then move to amend your life to reflect proper Christian faith with your belief in Christ Jesus, the KEY to your Salvation. Don't wake up one day in another world and realize that your chance to make amends is gone and that now, it is Too Late! Do It Now.
Do You Feel Discouraged? -- Go and pick up your Holy Bible and read the following Scriptures for HOPE no matter what your problem! (KJV) 1 PETER 4:12-13; PSALM 46:1-3; PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7; PSALM 42:11; PSALM 40:1-3; PSALM 37: 4-7; JEREMIAH 29: 11-14; JAMES 1: 2-4; ISAIAH 41: 10; 2 CORINTHIANS 1: 3-4; 1 PETER 5:6-7. May God Bless You Always! Never lose Faith in Jesus!
Overlaying Dimensions Right Where We Are -- The following is information you won't find in many churches or ministries but it needs to be revealed as it can no longer be suppressed. We exist in the Earth plane in human embodiment. We are incarnate and thus need our corporeal bodies in order to function in this dimension. When we return to spirit, which we in essence are, we will be able to move faster and know more about the Earth and its happenings. Our human body merely houses our spirit in order to keep us animated while we are having a human experience. When we leave our body permanently at the time our our transition we will disconnect from our human body as the Silver Cord severs our spiritual body from our physical body. Once we are in spirit again we may find that we can visit our loved ones periodically as there are other dimensions where we will reside that quite possibly interlap where we now are. The reason we can't readily see it is that it is a spiritual plane, thus, it vibrates at a higher rate than our limited human spectrum is able to discern. This is why so many people see quick moving figures through their peripheral vision and/or may hear sounds from those who are not physically there. The moment one tries to focus directly upon it, it is gone. But they are, in effect, still Spiritually there! I have seen these occurrences therefore, understand more about this phenomena.
Since all of this action is occuring in the spiritual realm, it is not humanly possible to measure exactly where these dimensions are. It may be possible to guage spirit activity with certain meters, however. It is my theory that not all that is nearby or "overlapping" our space is benevolent. That is why it is so important to always surround oneself with the Pure White Light of Christ's Protection. We cannot know exactly what is around us and how it will affect us. This could possibly be the reason why some people feel angry, upset, acrimonious or nervous at times. The lower-level "foreign energy" may be leaking into this dimension and affecting us. Until such a time as we can adequately ascertain what exactly we are facing, it is always the best policy, in my opinion, to protect oneself when awakening in the morning, throughout the day, and again upon retiring. One simply cannot take the foolish chance that all is completely well....what if it isn't? With the Christ vibration surrounding us at all times, we can thus be sure to have the Ultimate Protection if we do not forget to invoke it daily.
Soul is that part of God's creation that is individual and which collects all information concerning your ONE and only life on Earth and which God confronts during the judgment. The spirit is also an innermost component of the soul.
Spirit is one's unique innermost part that is the spiritual counterpart of one's body. It retains experiences, explorations, and composure. The spirit is what detaches from the physical body when the silver cord severs the two at transition.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord." -- ROMANS 6:23 (KJV). There is an Afterlife! God has promised us that and it is most important to think about at this point in our life. We will shed our physical body and step into our spiritual body. There is HOPE for Salvation through Jesus Christ! My background as a Christian has given me tremendous insight into this area. We need look no further than the following Scripture to find the answer when Jesus and a lawyer engage in discourse pertaining to Eternal Life. "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (Jesus) said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And He said unto him, Thou Hast Answered Right: This Do, and Thou Shalt Live." -- LUKE 10:25-28 (KJV). So, you can plainly see from Jesus' answer that the KEY to Eternal Life or the Afterlife is in doing the very things He has stated in this Scripture. And who could be more knowledgeable about this area than Jesus, God's only begotten Son who is the one who gives us Salvation. You need not let this question trouble you any further. Rest assured that if one is living right and keeping God's Commandments and has been Born Again, they shall enter into the Eternal Afterlife. Do *You* Have Questions About What Happens Then?

THE BIBLICAL KEYS TO HEALING †It has been said when one does not follow the laws of God, he inevitably suffers. This is Divine truth. Because people have been given free will by God, they can choose to follow those laws or not. But in not following that which the LORD has ordained for mankind there are consequences. If the spirit is right with God, the body most likely is also. For when one is right with God, God looks after him. God has set forth the Keys to healing in Scripture. Those who heed Holy Scripture and keep it close at hand most likely will discover that they embrace a wealth of truth for happiness and well-being.
The first key is found in EXODUS 15:26 (KJV). It speaks to what God tells us should be done. "And said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD that healeth thee."
You Need To Serve the Lord! EXODUS 23:25 (KJV) informs us: "And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee."
One needs to call to the Lord in their time of need! "Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saveth them out of their distresses. He send His word, and healeth them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" -- PSALMS 107: 19-21 (KJV).
Let others know of God's works! "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD." -PSALM 118:17 (KJV).
The LORD restores health and healing! "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after." -- JEREMIAH 30:17 (KJV).
Jesus healed those who were sick and possessed! "When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sickness." -- MATTHEW 8:16-17 (KJV).
For some, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom than for others! "But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Typre and Didon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." -- MATTHEW 11: 22-24 (KJV).
By Christ's Stripes We Are HEALED! "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." -- I PETER 2:24-25 (KJV).
The LORD takes away all sickness! "And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee." -- DEUTERONOMY 7:15 (KJV).
Choose Life! "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." -- DEUTERONOMY 30: 19-20 (KJV).
Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb! "And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." -- REVELATION 12:11 (KJV).
You now have very important KEYS to consider in patterning your life. Observe what is being said, heed its call, and follow your conscience in doing that which God expects of you and as these Scriptures reveal, one's life should become a true Blessing!

"Jesus saith unto him, I Am The Way, The Truth and The Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -- JOHN 14:6 (Pay very close attention to what The Holy Bible is saying here about those who wish to go to Heaven when they make their transition. The passage into Heaven is not an automatic one. It comes only to those who Accept JESUS CHRIST As Their Personal Savior! This is very important to Know and Understand since you have free will to embrace this Scripture from Christ. -- Dr. Lance) <>< "In Everything Give Thanks: For This Is the Will of God in Christ Jesus Concerning You." -- I THESSALONIANS 5:18 <>< "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." -- MATTHEW 5:44
What More Can Honestly Be Said About The Rich Who Do Not Contribute To The Poor On Earth? Plenty More! "And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." -- MARK 10:23-25.<>< "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also." -- I JOHN 4: 16-21
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." -- REVELATION 20:12 <>< "Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." -- MATTHEW 7: 21-23 <>< "He that hath my commandments, and keepth 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 14:21 <>< "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -- 1 JOHN 1:9
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -- ST. JOHN 3:16 <>< "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man." -- MARK 7:15 <>< "The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God." -- PSALMS 18: 20-21
Keep The Faith Always! I cannot stress that enough times because it is SO important! "For we walk by Faith, not by sight." -- 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7. We do not always see what is there when we look with our physical eyes. Therefore, look with your SPIRITUAL sight. <>< "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." -- ROMANS 8:28. This Scripture needs no further explanation as it is most clear. <>< What we must also remember is what 1JOHN 1:7 tells us: "But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin."

BIBLICAL TOPICS FOR THOUGHT
~*~*~
Charity; Faith;
Hope; Forgiveness;
What is the first thing you do or think of when you see someone begging on the streets? Do you feel repelled by the sight of them or do you instinctively reach into your pocket to Lovingly give the poor soul a coin or two or a dollar? For many, it is simply a matter of passing them by and simply overlooking them, but for others it becomes a real privilege to stop, smile at them and offer them whatever they can to help them out in their time of need. "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." -- 1 PETER 4:8 (KJV). "Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:" -- 1 TIMOTHY 1:5 (KJV) . Charity Is The Greatest Virtue You Can Possess! Jesus Christ always wants for us to be charitable and help those less fortunate than ourselves. It has been a long-time belief of mine that a poor person out on the street may not entirely be whom they appear to be. Let me explain. If you see a poor, old woman begging on the street, humped over with age and you don't stop to help her with compassion, by giving her a few dollars, you really have to think on this: What if that lady was, in effect, an angel or the Virgin Mary, Jesus' Mother in disguise? It is entirely possible that she could be. Angels are on Earth always and can appear in ways that can best be understood by man such as in human form. "Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." -- HEBREWS 13:1-2 (KJV). The Blessed Virgin Mary often makes her presence known to mankind, therefore, she could very well appear in the form of an old woman with tattered clothing just to test your faith in what God expects you to do. If you pass her up, you would have also passed the greatest opportunity of your life to show Jesus' Mother that you are of kind heart and mind and that you are compassionate and charitable with those less fortunate. Think how honored it would make you feel to know that you gave to Jesus' Mother and how she will remember you to her Divine Son. You can never be too sure that the person you gave to was not sent down to Earth by our Divine Father just to test your gift of charity. The same can be said about men. That poor old man begging could be Jesus Christ testing you to see how good you can handle charity. At your time of transition, He will review the Book Of Life and Point Out your faults and what you could have done but chose not to do however, by then it will be too late to do anything about it.But to those who merely drive by and do not stop to help those less fortunate, woe be unto them, for God Will Remember that. Who knows if the time will come when you will be out in the streets holding a sign in dire need of help and God will cause people to merely pass you by without stopping. He may even say to you "You Had the Opportunity to Give to the Least of My Brethren But You Passed Them Up With Pride. Now, I Do Not Know You.". "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." -- 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 (KJV) ; "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." -- 1 CORINTHIANS 13:13 (KJV). Remember, This Day Presents A Wonderful Opportunity For You To Love Your Fellow Man In Christ Jesus! Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." -- 1 CORINTHIANS 13:8 (KJV). "Let all your things be done with charity." -- 1 CORINTHIANS 16:14 (KJV)
Faith is mentioned in The Holy Bible over twenty-five times. Each instance is important in its own right. When we have faith, we show our trust in God. We show Him that we are confident in what He teaches and can and will follow those teachings that can bring our soul into alignment with His overall purpose for our mission in life and for our salvation. Without faith, man is literally at sea fighting the tossing and turning waves of time and circumstance. There can be no rest until one places his or her confidence in Jesus Christ through their faith in Him. It is difficult to imagine a person who feels so egotistical that they can say to themselves that they need no faith in anyone else but themselves. But when worst comes to worst and they find themselves in a serious bind, can they rely on their own being to help them through those difficult circumstances? Of course not. Without faith in God, we cannot possibly serve our overall good. Jesus addresses this when He tells people "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed?" -- MATTHEW 6:30-31 (KJV) . Also, listen carefully when He reveals that with faith one can move mountains (remove their troubles), and when Jesus tells those who sought His healing "Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole." --MATTHEW 9:22 (KJV). Therefore, Faith In Christ is the All-Important Key that can truly open doors which you may have found were previously closed. Faith is brought about through the Trust we place in God, by acknowledging His beloved Son Jesus Christ. That kind of Faith in Him can truly open doors to both inner and outer happiness! "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -- HEBREWS 11:1 (KJV). BELIEVE in God and Have Faith! Keep the Faith and Believe!
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." --ROMANS 15:13 (KJV) . Hope is truly precious and a gift from God. For without hope one would truly have little to look forward to when the chips are down. Trust in God is Essential to instill hope in mankind! But wonderful is he who trusts in God and in the Hope that He can bring. Some other Holy Biblical passages that speak of Hope In God: "Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee." -- PSALM 33:22 (KJV) ; "For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth." -- PSALM 71:5 (KJV) ; "But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more." --PSALM 71:14 (KJV); "Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope." -- PSALM 119:116 (KJV) ; "I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope." -- PSALM 130:5 (KJV). Look to God with HOPE in your heart! There is no need to feel downtrodden and alone during your time of need. Realize that God stands as close as your heart All Of The Time! Reach out to Him with Hope and Experience the glory of His wonderful and Loving compassion! "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." -- ROMANS 5:5 (KJV)
"You did me wrong and I CAN'T forgive you for that!". Have you ever heard that said before? It is one of the saddest things one can ever hear because it denotes an unwillingness to love unconditionally and to release the thought of ill-will towards another. The very vibration of any word(s) or act(s) having to do with unforgiveness reacts instantly to bring a different feeling to the etheric body or aura that lies right flush to your physical body. When one does not wish to forgive another, that kind of thought creates negative energy which manifests in one's etheric body and serves a very non-productive purpose which can later solidify as a disharmonious energy in the physical body. Harboring ill-will or bad thoughts about another is contrary to the laws of God. And as we continue to hold on to an unforgiving heart for whatever purpose, our own being starts to react in kind by not infusing the ever important etheric body with vital, productive and Positive energy so needed for a better you. "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." -- ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 26:18 (KJV). Remember this: Christ Jesus FORGAVE even those who crucified Him! How can we do any less! "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his rainment, and cast lots." -- LUKE 23:34 (KJV). When one can find it in their heart to forgive, wonderful things begin to happen! As you forgive, so are you forgiven! It is the law of Cause and Effect in action and God expects you to forgive both yourself and your fellow man just as He forgives you.
Confess your sins and be free of impediments to your overall well-being and feel the light-heartedness of smiling and being free from the negativity of a non-forgiving heart. Be grateful for the experience which helps you to grow spiritually. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -- 1 JOHN 1:9 (KJV) . "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;" -- EPHESIANS 1:7 (KJV). "Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." -- EPHESIANS 4:32 (KJV). Remember that in order to be forgiven, You Too Must Forgive! "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." -- MATTHEW 6:14-15 (KJV)

RESURRECTION
†
YES!
/ reincarnation, NO!
THERE IS NO REINCARNATION! Since satan Is A Perverted Liar, He Would Have We Christians and Others Believe That We Can Do Whatever We Wish In This Life And Simply reincarnate Again and Again With Many Other Chances To Continue Sinning Until We "Get It Right". But If That Was Actually So, There Would Never Be Any Judgment and That Would Be Strictly Against the Laws of God Concerning Judgment That Comes Right After One Passes On. Do You Know That There Are Some Who Have Even Said That Christians Removed References To reincarnation From The Holy Bible During The Fifth Century A.D. But Know That There Is Absolutely No Proof Of That Or That Mention Of reincarnation Was Ever In The Holy Bible. But satan Would Like To Have You Believe It Is So, Just To Win You Over! That Is One Of His Best Tricks But Beware Because The devil Is A Perverted Liar! But GOD Brings The TRUTH To This Matter In The Following Words. Heed Its Message.
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." -- JOHN 3:16 (KJV). Christ Jesus came into this world to Save it. He was born of His Earthly Mother through God and The Holy Spirit. When He died, was buried and Resurrected, He returned to us exactly the same way as He had been and as He had looked before though He was now also in Spirit. He did not change other than by having His glorious spiritual body. "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption." -- ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 2:3 (KJV). Since it is a known fact that we are born 'in the image of God', "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." -- GENESIS 1:27 (KJV), it stands to good reason to know and understand that since Christ Jesus, God The Son In The Holy Trinity, did not change after His death and upon His Resurrection other than to be in Spirit, we will also not change or reincarnate any more than Christ would have to change and reincarnate and have another mother (other than the Virgin Mary who still makes Earthly appearances as she always looked). It is not possible for us to reincarnate, as per the Word of God that we are born in His image with only ONE soul and ONE spirit forever. We will, therefore, eternally retain our own looks, personality, memory and being, though we will be in spirit. With yet another life, it would not be possible to retain one's previous personal being intact as that would inevitably have to change. Jesus told us "Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also." -- JOHN 14:19 (KJV). The Holy Bible tells us "... and there shall be no more death, ...". Only Once, that's all! "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." -- REVELATION 21:3-4 (KJV). Take Special Note That The Holy Bible Goes Further In Saying "There is One body, and One Spirit, even as ye are called in One hope of your calling; One Lord, One faith, One baptism, One God and Father of All, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." -- EPHESIANS 4:4-6 (KJV)Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus did not reincarnate. He waited to be lifted up from his death-like sleep by Jesus Christ. "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him." -- JOHN 11:11-15 (KJV). An Important Key here is Jesus' words "... that I may awake him out of sleep." That means, literally, that only Jesus and those whom He would appoint can RESURRECT the dead who will remain asleep or "dead", until He comes to awaken them. The following is another account of Christ, this time, Resurrecting a young man in the City of Nain. "And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother." -- LUKE 7:14-15 ( KJV). Likewise, Jesus touches a dying girl: "And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him (Jesus), he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him." -- MARK 5:22-24 (KJV). And yet another account of Jesus Christ Resurrecting a person: "And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment." -- MARK 5:41-42 (KJV). God did not promise us that we would have everlasting life in a physical body (that is to say, we will not reincarnate into another corporeal body again) but our Soul, our spiritual body, does live forever, thus giving us Everlasting Life. God did promise us that we would have Everlasting Life in our Spiritual Body! So, once you leave this life, you will not return until Christ awakens all at the appointed time. Likewise, Christian saints (who were human but now in spirit) whom many ask to intercede on their behalf, remain as they were, forever, and do not return as different people or entities, otherwise, how would it be possible to continue invoking them centuries after their passing as is being done, if they became different people! And we must note that the bodies of some saints are still preserved intact today after many years since their passing. That Same Body Will Rise Again! "Jesus said unto her, I Am The Resurrection, And The Life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." -- JOHN 11: 25-26 (KJV)
The word "Eternal Life" means just that. Living In Spirit Eternally, not returning again and again to reincarnate physically. God would not cause us to become infants all over again just to relearn our lessons if we didn't get it right the first time or cause us to take another set of parents anymore than Jesus would have had to. The hypothesis of reincarnation, to some, may just be an 'escape', an excuse to continue sinning and doing wrong in the world with their misguided belief that nothing will happen to them as they will yet come back time and again to 'get it right' so they still have many chances and can just about write their own ticket while in this life. They Are Very Wrong! We have but ONE opportunity and it is in This Life to be with Him, with God, in every aspect of what we do, so be very careful and follow Jesus and be as Loving as you can be and Totally Aligned with His Teachings for Salvation. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." -- JOHN 5:24-25 (KJV). Scripture Speaks Of God RAISING Jesus Christ Up! "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne: He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses. Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear." -- ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 2:30-33 (KJV). "When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." -- JOHN 2: 22 (KJV)The Holy Bible further states "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." -- ROMANS 6:23 (KJV). And the words "Rest In Peace" and "Eternal Life" bear repeating and mean that once you have passed on, you will literally Rest In Peace Eternally in the Afterlife without the fear of having to come back to Earth to live yet another life, thus crushing any fear of reincarnation, on the part of some, and that one has had "past lives". Here is Biblical *PROOF*: "So Man Lieth Down, and Riseth Not: Till the Heavens Be No More, They Shall Not Awake, Nor Be Raised Out Of Their Sleep." -- JOB 14:12 (KJV). Therefore, KNOW that there is no other power but that of God through His Divine Son Jesus Christ, who can reawaken the 'dead'. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." -- I THESSALONIANS 4: 13-18 (KJV) Do not be afraid as God reassures us with the following Scripture: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." -- JOHN 10:28 (KJV). So Much For the Hypothesis Of reincarnation That Erroneously Thinks We Would Be Plucked Out Of God's Hand To Become Yet Another Person In A reincarnated Life.These inspirational, Biblical words tell us plainly that when we pass on, we do not die so that we would be in a position to reincarnate, but rather when we pass on, we will remain merely ASLEEP in the Lord Jesus Christ until He comes to reawaken us! Our spirit will live forever and our body will be Resurrected, lifted up by the Lord Jesus Christ when He is ready for us! How Wonderful For Us To Know and Understand the TRUTH In This! At the time of our "death", we will remain asleep in His (God's) beautiful image as His children, just as we are, and without having to worry about changing into another human being to live yet again. And through Him we will be Born Into Eternal Life if we have been BORN AGAIN, that is, if we have given our life to Jesus Christ and promised to follow Him and His teachings from that very moment that we accept Him. However, those who do not accept Christ, according to their own free will choice, the Bible also addresses in the following passage "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." -- DANIEL 12:2 (KJV). You therefore, have a real choice right now! What will it be, where would you rather spend eternity? And at that glorious moment when Jesus Christ calls us to Rise Again from the grave, we shall rise *Just As We Are* and join Him in Eternal Celebration because we are His children! "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him." -- I JOHN 4:9 (KJV). WE HAVE BUT ONE LIFE and It Is In the Here and Now:"And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." -- HEBREWS 9:27-28 (KJV)
We are again reminded with these words in The Holy Bible that we still have but ONE life after our physical body dies, and that life is ETERNAL, therefore, not to be reincarnated. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." -- 2 CORINTHIANS 5:1 (KJV). In addition, The Blessed Virgin Mary, Christ's Mother, in Medjugorje, during one of her apparitions in 1982, said to us that it was a False Teaching to teach others about reincarnation and that once born, you have but one physical body and you do not reincarnate but receive a Transfigured Body at the time of your transition. Please remember that. But some even foolheartedly think the Bible is speaking of reincarnation when it states "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." -- JOHN 14:2 (KJV). What that is making reference to is the different dimensions there are in the Afterlife where people go according to the way they lived here on Earth. Also, when one hears of "past lives", those words are making dangerous reference to spirits wishing to possess living human beings in order to once again experience earthly pleasures they once had. Since they know they are not able to reincarnate and return to Earth once they pass on, they will seek a vulnerable, weak person and then instill in their mind experiences *they* had while on Earth. The vulnerable person then believes they had a "past life", when in actuality, it is the spirit relaying their own life to the person, or one that belonged to their ancestors. That is why it is so important to realize that there is no such thing as a "past life" and refrain from thinking the way lower entities would like to have one think. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." -- MATTHEW 24:35 (KJV).
"So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." -- I CORINTHIANS 15:42-53 (KJV). The Quintessence of Resurrection Is Spelled Out In This Scripture: "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life: and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." -- JOHN 5: 28-29 (KJV)"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the Resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the dead." -- 1 PETER 1:3 (KJV)

LIGHTED
CHRISTIAN PATHWAYS
- JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS! †
WORDS FROM CHRIST: November 20, 2005 -- Jesus Christ spoke to me with a very special message. His words expressed great concern in the continuance of sin in the world and the unrepentant attitudes of the many. He told me that the time is coming for more great unrest and destruction in the world as a consequence of sin. This is the product of man's own sowing. The seeds have been sown and are now propagating to become famine, earthquakes, floods, devastation, and incurable illnesses all which could have been prevented heretofore. But man has not ceased his activity of hate, malice, envy, sin and evil that brings this kind of destruction as a lesson unto itself. Christ says "... and those who fail to acknowledge me and continue to fail have brought many bad vibrations unto your Earth plane. This is causing a tidal wave of destruction and negativity. Prayer, continued prayer is your only hope. You cannot hope to be saved and for lives to be ameliorated if you do not immediately comply. Life is precious. I have given that to you. You must now see that that negativity is completely erased. And that it is supplanted by Love and Kindness and Good Deeds towards one another. The hour grows ever closer to where there will be even more devastation if mankind does not turn around now." (This is only a portion of the message as given to Reverend Dr. Lance, the messenger).
November 26, 2005 -- "The Adversary is here to torment you and cause you great harm in these the Last Days. He tests your strength and belief in me. But I am with you always. Though he may instill evil thoughts in thy mind, know that there is strength in my Word and through the washing with the Blood of the Lamb, which I Am. Cover thyself before awakening and upon retiring with my precious blood, O ones of great faith, and I Will Protect Thee."
Jesus Christ wishes to have all people know and understand the meaning of the following Biblical Scripture "This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." -- EPHESIANS 4:17-19 (KJV). This, Christ says, is what makes some men believe in what they personally wish to believe, rather than the way it is as God meant it to be. Man will make excuse after excuse to sin and justify that sin. That only makes him liable in the end. If his heart knows better but his mind predominateth then the sin carries the same as if he knew but nevertheless disobeyed. Know that this is one of satan's main tricks for he is a deceiver and a liar. To lead man to think that what he reads from Scripture can also have the meaning that man prefers to give it, in order to justify his sin. That is not from God. So, be strongly cautioned about thinking that way!
March 24, 2006 -- There is a great mantle of darkness covering Earth at this time. The mantle was created by man's dark thoughts of greed, destruction, perversity, and the great separation from God. These times are truly sad ones as they exemplify man's preference to being with satan than with God.
The whole of Earth is enveloped in this darkness and it will be allowed by God to see who truly is aligned with God and who is not. In the end, countless millions will suffer if not billions. This indicates the massive break from God and His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. The time is shortly coming when there will be more devastation in the world. Gross inhumanities will take place and great suffering will ensue. Many will fail to recognize these signs as the beginning of the end. They will suffer greatly. The Light of God will be shown only briefly to those who hold an open heart to this highest vibration. The rest will not even notice it and will go about their day with business as usual. The evil one is rejoicing at how many have agreed to listen to him and follow him instead of God. There will be great deception presented and many will fall into the trap of believing that as truth. Be Guarded! Satan wants to see what you do! Be bathed each and every day in the Light of Christ and know that it is only with Him that you can gain your Eternal Salvation! Pray often each and every day! This Is A Grave Warning For These Times. Be Well Guarded and Follow God through Jesus Christ.
There is a woman, middle-aged, on the West Coast that has been suffering from immeasurable pain. Jesus is speaking to me telling me that you are going to get well as you have finally come to terms with the true cause of this problem!
There is a man in Philadelphia who has cancer in the stomach and Jesus is touching you at this very moment!
There is a woman in Calgary who has had problems with water retention for quite some time. The hand of Christ is upon you!
"Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth." -- ROMANS 9:17 (KJV)

~*~ ASK REVEREND DR. LANCE ~*~ - Questions that are asked in person, sent in, etc. seeking an answer.
We may not be able to use all questions submitted and it may be edited for typos, clarity, and brevity. No names used.Dear Dr. Lance, Where can I find Scripture referring to Calvary?
A:// You can find Scripture referring to Calvary in LUKE 23:33 (KJV). Thank you for your question!I have heard that some Christians practice Reiki. What is "Reiki" and how does it work?
A:// Usui Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") [Usui Shiki Ryoho] is a spiritual laying-on-of-hands that is (*)theonomous and is taught in many places including churches, hospitals, community centers, colleges, etc. It was rediscovered in Japan in the late 1800's by a Japanese Christian minister named Dr. Mikao Usui. Since that time, many have learned Reiki and some have gone on to teach it. Reiki has often been referred to as a "Spiritual Healing Art" and is unlike massage in that a light laying-on-of-hands is done without massage or manipulation to skin or tissue and no oils are used. The recipient also remains fully clothed except perhaps for the shoes. Reiki cannot be learned from books or films, etc. A "master" (that is, a teacher) has to administer a spiritual initiation into Reiki. Reiki is also not the practice of medicine. The Reiki master or practitioner Does Not Diagnose Illnesses, Does Not Treat, Does Not Cure, Does Not Prevent Disease, Nor Prescribes Any Medicine unless he or she is also a duly licensed medical physician or other doctor authorized by the state to do so. For any health concerns, it is always recommended to visit one's licensed physician or health care provider. Many priests, ministers, sisters, nuns, etc. now actively practice and teach Reiki the world over. 'Reiki' is a Japanese word but one must remember that God can work through any race, ethnicity, or country to bring healing! ALL Healing Comes From God Through Jesus Christ. Reiki does not come from the Universe, from the Earth, from the sea, or from an individual, etc. Those things, including an individual cannot bring healing. Only Christ can and the practitioner or master simply channels the energy from God and then steps aside as God takes over. One obviously has to also remember this: WHO made the Universe, the Earth, the sea, people, etc. if not God? (*)Therefore, it ALL originates and comes from God and the Glory is All His! Praise To His Holy Name!

<>< HOLY SCRIPTURE PERTAINING TO UNDERSTANDING, ANGELS, SEERS, PROPHESY, DREAMS <><
All Scripture Used Is From King James Version (KJV)."But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:" -- I CORINTHIANS 12:7-10. * "If any man speak, let him speak as the Oracles of God" -- I PETER 4:11 * "For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:" -- LUKE 4:10. * "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." -- MATTHEW 18:10 * "Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet, was beforetime called a Seer." -- I SAMUEL 9:9 * "For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee." -- 11 SAMUEL 24:11-12"And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets." -- II CHRONICLES 29:25 * "Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped." -- 11 CHRONICLES 29:30 * "And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy" -- ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 2:18 * "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God." -- PROVERBS 2: 1-5
Biblically Speaking, *Dreams* Are Also Very Important Vehicles For Information! Much will be taught in dreams, and dreams can have important significance later on. It is good to keep a Dream Diary and record your dreams for analysis or Dream Interpretation of the messages God is trying to convey to you. "In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men: and sealeth their instruction," -- JOB 33:15-16 * Likewise, Scripture has this to say about dreams: "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold: the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."-- DANIEL 2:45
"Verily, verily; I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also: and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." -- JOHN 14:12. It Is Important To Remember That With Such Gifts, ALL Work Must Be Done For The Honor And Glory Of God!

========================================================
THE TRUE POWER IN BENEVOLENT SPIRITUAL HEALING MODALITIES
When one inquires as to where the energy or power comes from to effect benevolent healings such as in the Laying-On-Of-Hands and Other Energy Work to try to effect healing, sometimes they are confused into thinking that there is power simply in the universe. Others think that the power comes out of the ground somewhere, etc. While still others, using great ego, mistakenly think that they have the power to effect such healings themselves. That is a wrong way of thinking since in thinking that way they are, in effect, denying the existence of God who is first of all their Creator, and the Principal Supplier and Source of healing energy to ALL benevolent causes. People need to invoke Him directly, yet in His great mercy and compassion, He sees to it that those who are meritorious of such healings receive them. But again, when ego and self-aggrandisement get in the way, instead of giving ALL credit to God for the healings that may take place, some simply never mention Him as the Only Source. And when they mention power from the universe, trees, crystals, etc. one just has to interject "But WHO created the universe, trees, crystals, etc. if not God!" Healing causes people to feel better and even get well, but we need that Divine energy to become well in the first place. Surely, they cannot for one second believe that the devil or his minions could be responsible for any healing. He is not! He never has been and will never be! satan Is the Antithesis of Healing. He may appear as an "Angel of Light" but only to fool one who is vulnerable or susceptible to such tricks. Are YOU on your guard?
Of course, the adversary will try as he may to make you believe that healing and goodness is coming from him, but quite obviously, if the devil could indeed heal, then what is he doing in Hell unable to heal his own situation and looking the God-forsaken way he does instead of like the beautiful angel that was once in Heaven but was cast out due to disobedience to God? That's what started it all. Now, he has found a place as "Prince of this World" where he can roost and throw people for a loop through his lies, deceit and treachery. Don't be one of his victims for he would surely welcome you to believe that healing power comes from him....but only if you let him! Know that the True Source of making another happy, joyous, well, and steadfast in his faith is God. It can only come from Him for there is no one else. So, next time you hear someone saying that they can lay rocks or hands or do anything else to get someone well, just remember where the True Source of healing is coming from -- God! If anyone dare claims healing is just out there...or they possess it...or it is at their command, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction! There are many deceivers in this world who follow the evil one. Don't fall prey to his tricks brought on through his followers. Know that there is only ONE True God with Omnipotent Power and that is JESUS CHRIST, ONE in The Holy Trinity. And remember what Jesus Christ said to us: "... For Without Me Ye Can Do Nothing." JOHN 15:5 (KJV). So, never be fooled again! Keep your Faith in Christ, Love Him, Thank Him and Praise Him with ALL of your heart and might, Keep God's Commandments, and BELIEVE in Him. And as you do, He will know and remember it and He too will help you in your time of need.
