THE WORLD BEFORE ADAM

WHERE THERE OTHER CREATURES ON EARTH BEFORE ADAM.?    (PART 1)
THE PRE ADAMIC AGE ~ By Gods plan For All.
The Biblical Truth of the Pre-Adamic Age
The Pre-Adamic Age is the First Age of the Seven Ages in God’s Plan for All. It began at the creation of the heavens and the earth, and ended at the start of the six-day creation week, during which Adam and Eve were created. The Pre-Adamic Age was the age when angels were the key focus of God’s dealings. The First Age is an important age in God’s Plan of the Ages. It helps us to appreciate and understand the following five important facts, which we cover in this chapter:Our earth is much older than six thousand years.When God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning, He created the earth in such a beautiful and perfect condition that the angels responded with joyful singing and shouting.There was a massive cataclysmic global judgement of God against the world of Lucifer (Satan) and his angels when they sinned by rebelling against God during the Pre-Adamic Age. Since then, God has chained Satan and his fallen angels in spiritual darkness and confined them to earth and its heaven (earth’s atmosphere), awaiting their final judgement in the Lake of Fire.Earth’s geology has been greatly impacted and shaped by this massive Pre-Adamic cataclysmic global judgement from God.There will be another massive cataclysmic global judgement from God against this present sinful world, at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Let us now begin our study of this important First Age. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The heavens mean the whole complete universe consisting of billions of galaxies with billions of stars and planets. Our minds cannot even begin to grasp the wonders and limitless power of God, which the universe displays. In this very first verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, God singles out the earth as the most important planet in the entire universe. This is because God has a tremendous purpose to use the earth as the centre of the universe. It is on earth that God will establish His Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth, after He has first refined and cleansed the earth during the Lake of Fire
Judgement Age.
     So, how did God create the universe and the earth in the beginning? The Bible says that God simply commanded and they were created. Psalm 148:2-52 Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! 5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created. 
     The creation of the entire universe, including the earth, must be understood as an instantaneous creation at the command of God. When God created the universe in the beginning, He also designed and created the Law of Gravity. God introduced the Law of Gravity for the stability and for the continual existence of the universe. All bodies in the universe are held together and maintain their orbits because of gravitation. Smaller bodies are held in their orbits by bigger bodies. Moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, stars orbit galactic centres, and galaxies orbit other galaxies in clusters.The important point to understand is that it is impossible for the moon to exist without the earth, and it is impossible for the earth to exist without the sun, and for the sun to exist without our galaxy, the Milky Way, and for the Milky Way to exist without other galaxies. So, the whole universe must have been created instantaneously for it to exist, and this is exactly what God did in the beginning, as Psalm 148:5 above confirms, ‘He commanded and they were created’.
    Time began when God created the earth, the sun and the moon with the rest of the universe, in the beginning. This is when God's Plan of the Ages began. How long ago was the beginning when God commanded and instantaneously created the universe with the earth? The Bible does not say. However, star distances and many other modern scientific methods, all show us that the beginning. was many millions of years ago. It cannot have been around six-ten thousand years ago, as believed by Young Earth Creationists. Even Young Earth Creationists themselves admit that star distance is a problem when defending their belief in a young earth. Most probably, scientists have overestimated the age of our earth as being about 4.5 billion years old, but we can be absolutely sure that the earth is much older than six-ten thousand years. Young Earth Creationists claim to interpret the Genesis account of creation literally to justify their belief in a young earth. They say that anything other than about six-ten thousand years is playing around with the literal translation of the creation account. In actuality, it is the Young Earth Creationists themselves who play around with the literal meaning of the Genesis account of creation. Let us now see what the Bible says and what Young Earth Creationism (YEC) says. The Bible says that God created the earth in the beginning; YEC says that God created the earth in the first day. The Bible says that God created the sun and the moon in the beginning; YEC says that God created the sun and the moon in the fourth day. The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning; YEC says that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. Young Earth Creationism misunderstands the Genesis account of God's creation when it misinterprets the very first verse of the Bible (Genesis 1:1) as being a summary statement of the six-day creation account, which is described in Genesis 1:3-31. This misunderstanding of the very first verse of the Bible has led Young Earth Creationism to believe that God created the earth on the first day without the sun, and that it wasn't until the fourth day that God created the sun, the moon and the stars. This is not only biblically untrue but also scientifically nonsensical. It is impossible for a 24-hour day comprising of both light and darkness, day and night with morning and evening to occur, without both the earth and the sun existing together. This is elementary physics and common sense.

THIS IS THE CURE FOR SIN ?.( A SAVIOUR. )

DOES YOUR RELIGION HAVE ANY CURE FOR SIN? IF NOT, YOU NEED A SAVIOUR.
In my debates with persons of the various religions I have come to the conclusion that religion is man-made and premised on subjective reasoning with data which can't be substantiated with logical , imperical evidence and thus open to fraud.
The documents often used by followers are not fraudulent in their entirety but a mixture of truth and lies. This is why it's very easy to be deceived if one isn't armed with logical analytical instruments with which data can be scrutinized.
   The three major monotheistic religions namely Christianity, Islam, Judaism all lay claim to the faith of the Patriarch Prophet Abraham from whom we derive Isaac the father of Christianity and Judaism and Ishmael the father of Islam.
One would expect the three religions to have a common denominator with respect to the subject of salvation button the contrary it is the subject that has pitched them at loggerhead with each other.
Christianity preaches about the need for a saviour in Christ, while Judaism believes in a saviour but do not believe in Jesus Christ as the saviour. Islam on the hand does not believe in a messiah but believes that salvation can be attained through human effort as demomstated in theThe Five Pillars consist of:1) Shahadah: sincerely reciting the Muslim profession of faith.2) Salat: performing ritual prayers in the proper way five times each day.3) Zakat: paying an alms (or charity) tax to benefit the poor and the needy.4) Sawm: fasting during the month of Ramadan.5) Hajj: pilgrimage to Mecca.
LOGICAL FAITH AND REASONING AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SAVATION.
Truth is absolute and objective, by this I mean truth is provable and constant , it does not seize to be truth at some future date. Forinstance, 1+1=2, this is the truth and it will never change. Therefore , salvation should be provable, logical, objective, absolute anything outside this would be illogical. One can either saved or not, their are no middle grounds.
It also follows that a saved person should possess those divine qualities or attributes found in heaven since a saved person is already qualified to be in heaven. Therefore it is safe to say that a saved person is justified ( without sin ) , sanctified ( set apart for God's use ) and glorified ( honoured, favoured and empowered by God) and be free from Guilt . One can't be justified and at the same time be guilty . It is either one or the other. Ones conscience should bear witness that one is saved since the conscience serves to either condemn or aquit us.
Muslims are faced with these logical questions requiring answers 1)  would stop sinning and become perfect after fulfilling the five pillars of Islam for a year . 2) if no , does that mean that one is still saved and what would be the faith of the Man who died while under this condition, 3) will he still go to Allah's heaven in that state of sinfulness or 3) will Allah overlook his sins ? if yes under what circumstances or is there a righteousness outside the Muslim religious code. ? 4) If a Muslim stole three oranges and a Christian one orange is he a higher or lesser sinner, and how many sins does a man commit before he becomes a sinner. If one sin makes a man a sinner , is impossible that one act of righteousness can make a man righteous like the born again Christians profess.
5) what guarantees does Islam offer a man with respect to salvation given that man is prone to err. is it a legal instrument and what are the bases for such guarantees if any? 6) By what name did prophet Abraham call know God by, 7) Is prophet Abraham in heaven? if yes was it by the observance of the 5 pillars of Islam even when Mohammed was not yet born or was it by a principle outside the 5 pillars of Islam. If yes , is it possible to enter heaven outside the observance of Islamic laws just like Abraham did.
The same questions goes for the Jew. If the breaking of one of Moses law makes one a sinner since a strict Observance of ALL the law is demanded by Moses, is it possible that one act of righteousness by equity can make a person right with God . What is Judaism's cure for sin , has it ever produced a sinlesss, perfect man. If not whatbare the guarantees that a Jew can be saved without a saviour?
The possibility of being saved by the two other religion is nearly impossible we are left with the third. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ took the purnishment for our sins( present, past, future) and in exchange gave us peace with the heavenly father.
It reinforces the fact that we are God's children , members of His household. Statements accredited to Jesus Christ himself says,[NLT] John 5:24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. THEY WILL NEVER be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
This statement can only be valid when the aforementioned questions posed to the muslim are answered in the affirmative by the follower of Christ.
let's look at them from the biblical point of view. By faith ( total reliance on God) the born again Christian believes :
  1) if one would stop sinning and become perfect after receiving Jesus Christ as saviour for more than a year .
Born again Christian reply :
No , we do not stop sinning because of our weak human nature neither are we proud of sins , but we have an advocate in Jesus Christ who haven been tempted has declared us justified knowing that by the observance of the Mosaic law no man can be right with God. He fulfilled the demands of the law.
THE ONLY LOGICAL CURE FOR UNILATERAL SIN IS A UNILATERAL PARDON. The born again christian is a recipient of the forgiving power of God through Jesus Christ.
   Violation of the law demands a death sentence, but if someone was willing to take the place of an offender then the guilty was declared innocent Leviticus16:.8 -10 "And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer him for  a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall  be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let  him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness." Jesus Christ is the scapegoat sent to atone for the sins of the world.
The born again Christian is therefore justified, sanctified and glorified by reason of the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

TOUCH MY ANOINTED, NO PREACHER IS ABOVE THE LAW AND CORRECTION Pt.2

TOUCH MY ANOINTED, NO PREACHER IS ABOVE THE LAW AND ACCOUNTABILITY PART 2
        Elijah was under specific instruction by God to pay a widow a visit in 1 kings 17. 13, this incident should never be used as a general formula to put a prize tag on every miracle or spiritual duty offered by preachers or especially when the prophet isn't hungry as in this case. This is the bane behind the corruption in many third world nations. Public officers may say, afterall my pastor collects things from people before helping them , therefore I see nothing wrong with kickbacks before issuing government contracts
        There are persons who may argue that they experienced a miracle after they gave a gift to a prophet. if that be the case then grace is null and void.For we are saved by grace not by works and our redemption or deliverance was not purchased with material things like precious metals or money.[NLT] 1 Peter 1:18 "For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver"
    One may also argue that there are persons who do not go to church and yet they receive greater breakthroughs. Does this now nullify faith? Definitely, No. God is a good God and shows kindness to all mankind . It rains and the sun shines upon both the so-called good and the bad,
In 2kings4. Elisha was used by God to multiply oil for a widow to sell and pay her debt. He never requested food or gratification from her. Non of the people Jesus healed was told to bring anything.
SHOULD WE JUDGE OUR LEADERS.? YES.
Under the new testament we are all anointed . John15:16 and nobody is above correcting.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THINGS A PREACHER SHOULD NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH:.
Galatians 5:19-21 MSG
"It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time:
1) repetitive, loveless, cheap sex;
2) a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage;
3) frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness;
4) trinket gods;
5)magic-show religion;
6)paranoid loneliness;
7)cutthroat competition;
8)all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants;
8) a brutal temper;
9)an impotence to love or be loved;
10) divided homes and divided lives;
11) small-minded and lopsided pursuits;
12)the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival;
13)uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions;
14)ugly parodies of community.
I could go on. This isn’t the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God’s kingdom" 
THERE ARE MORE QUALITIES TO BE DESIRED OF A CHURCH LEADER THEY INCLUDE
1 Timothy 3:1-7 MSG

"If anyone wants to provide leadership in the church, good! But there are preconditions: A leader must be well-thought-of,
1) committed to his wife,
2) cool and collected,
3)accessible,
4)and hospitable.
5)He must know what he’s talking about,
6) not be overfond of wine,
7)not pushy but gentle,
8)not thin-skinned,
9)not money-hungry.
10)He must handle his own affairs well,
11) attentive to his own children and having their respect. For if someone is unable to handle his own affairs, how can he take care of God’s church?
12)He must not be a new believer, lest the position go to his head and the Devil trip him up. 13)Outsiders must think well of him, or else the Devil will figure out a way to lure him into his trap." This list is given so that the seeker of God would not fall into wrong hands.
Satan's agents are in the church masquerading as ministers of the gospel while propagating immorality.1 Corinthians 11:13 -15 "For such  are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves  into the apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed  into an angel of light.Therefore  it is no great thing if his ministers also be  transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according  to their works."
     Apostle Paul was subordinate to apostle Peter in the church and yet he wisely rebuked peter for erring[NLT] Galatians 2:11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.[NLT] Galatians 2:12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision.[NLT] Galatians 2:13 As a result, other Jewish Christians followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy[NLT] Galatians 2:14 When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?
Peter was the church's first superintendent or general overseer. He was teaching destructive heresy that encouraged racism in the church and he was wisereprimanded  for his intransigence. NO GENERAL OVERSEER IS ABOVE CORRECTION.
There is absolutely nothing wrong judging one another. If judging is wrong then nobody should be sent to jail and there should be no law enforcement agencies like the police and the law courts . Judging makes for excellence. Here are some scriptures that commands we judge.
NLT] 1 Corinthians 5:12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.
[NLT] John 7:24 Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.”
[NLT] 1 Corinthians 6:2 Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves?
[NLT] 1 Corinthians 6:3 Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life.
[NIV] 1 Corinthians 6:5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?
[ESV] 1 Corinthians 10:15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

WHY WOMEN CHEAT MEN THAT LOVE THEM part 2

On Friday I wrote a short piece called Why women leave men they love – What every man needs to know. Three days later 500,000 people had read it. Something struck a chord. People are reading the article and seeing themselves. Many, many women have shared their relief at knowing they are not alone in their desire for deeper connection.

Men are responding too. “Presence is so damned hot!” says one. Another laments “If only I’d read this two years ago.” A few have pointed out that the roles are reversible, that men want the same things and suer in similar ways. I agree. Which begs the question –Why are women so much more likely to show up in my oce BEFORE they drop the hammer, while men tend to wait until AFTER the hammer is dropped?

We’re ALL subject to social patterns and structures, and gender gures heavily. Assigning blame is a dead-end that always gets us less of what we truly want. Trying to understand what drives our behaviour – collectively, individually and in marriages is potentially enlightening. And so I take the approach of inquiry.

Let’s start with Why are women staying in marriages for years when their husband is emotionally absent? I’ve had numerous women conde that their relationship strategy is basically this: Somehow hold out until the kids are grown, then bye-bye. Which leads us to… Men – how did you not see this coming? Why did you do nothing? (Again, you can ip the gender assignments to suit you.)

Frustrating as the questions are, honest answers exist. I hear them all the time, but never through smiling lips.

I didn’t know any other way.
I hoped it would get better.
I was busy with work.
That’s just the way it is.
I didn’t want to screw up the kids.
Forgive me if I make self-awareness sound easy. The insights above can be extremely hard-won. Of course it takes time, and tears, to get to this place of acknowledging our own part in a painful relationship. We avoid it because it oends our ego. But truth wants to and you.

Therapist David Schnarch says something like “ Only marriage can prepare you for marriage.” What he means is that the problems we encounter in relationship are the right ones, at the right time. They reect our current level of maturity or development. No one expects someone in eighth grade to ace grade twelve exams. But that doesn’t mean exam time isn’t stressful for everyone.

Once we begin coming to terms with the reality of a relationship in crisis, we may turn our attention to how we respond in the face of change. Change happens. It’s not negotiable. Yesterday’s experiences changed us, and we are dierent today. Our choice lies in how we align ourselves with the change process.

Whether or not a couple chooses to stay together when they hit their crisis point, some kind of change will be required. Often one partner makes a decision that changes everything. That’s reality. Avoiding reality has big costs. As Byron Katie observes “When you argue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.” So do we actively participate in the reality of change, accepting the discomfort and uncertainty along with the exhilaration of growth? Or do we resist because change is scary and painful? (Hint – the rst one gives us more and better options.)

I’m opening up comments on this post and I welcome your thoughts and reections.

WHY WOMEN CHEAT MEN THAT LOVE THEM. part 1

Justice Schanfarber Counselling – Campbell River BC
As a marriage counsellor working with men and women in relationship crisis, I help clients navigate numerous marriage counselling issues. While many situations are complex, there’s one profoundly simple truth that men need to know. It’s this –Women leave men they love.

They feel terrible about it. It tears the heart out of them. But they do it. They rally their courage and their resources and they leave. Women leave men with whom they have children, homes and lives. Women leave for many reasons, but there’s one reason in particular that haunts me, one that I want men to understand:

Women leave because their man is not present. He’s working, golng, gaming, watching TV, shing… the list is long. These aren’t bad men. They’re good men. They’re good fathers. They support their family. They’re nice, likeable. But they take their wife for granted. They’re not present.

Women in my office tell me “Someone could come and sweep me off my feet, right out from under my husband.” Sometimes the realization scares them. Sometimes they cry.

Men – I’m not saying this is right or wrong. I’m telling you what I see. You can get as angry or hurt or indignant as you want. Your wife is not your property. She does not owe you her soul. You earn it. Day by day, moment to moment. You earn her rst and foremost with your presence, your aliveness. She needs to feel it. She wants to talk to you about what matters to her and to feel you hearing her. Not nodding politely. Not placating. Denitely not playing devil’s advocate.

She wants you to feel her. She doesn’t want absent-minded groping or quick release sex. She wants to feel your passion. Can you feel your passion? Can you show her? Not just your passion for her or for sex; your passion for being alive. Do you have it? It’s the most attractive thing you possess. If you’ve lost it, why? Where did it go? Find out. Find it. If you never discovered it you are living on borrowed time. .

If you think you’re present with your wife, try listening to her. Does your mind wander? Notice. When you look at her, how deeply do you see her? Look again, look deeper. Meet her gaze and keep it for longer than usual, longer than comfortable. If she asks what you’re doing, tell her. “I’m looking into you. I want to see you deeply. I’m curious about who you are. After all these years I still want to know who you are every day.” But only say it if you mean it, if you know it’s true.

Touch her with your full attention. Before you lay your hand on her, notice the sensation in your hand. Notice what happens the moment you make contact. What happens in your body? What do you feel? Notice the most subtle sensations and emotions. (This is sometimes called mindfulness.) Tell her about what you’re noticing, moment to moment.

But you’re busy. You don’t have time for this. How about ve minutes? Five minutes each day. Will you commit to that? I’m not talking about extravagant dinners or nights out (although those are ne too). I’m talking about ve minutes every day to be completely present to the woman you share your life with. To be completely open – hearing and seeing without judgement. Will you do that? I bet once you start, once you get a taste, you won’t want to stop.
Proverbs 5:17-20 MSG

Your spring water is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers. Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man! Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose— don’t ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted! Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?

TOUCH MY ANOINTED, NO PREACHER IS ABOVE THE LAW 1

TOUCH MINE ANOINTED. NO PREACHER IS ABOVE THE LAW AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The doctrine of "touch not mine anointed" is the bane behind the insanity and gargantuan impunity among the clergy. The tales of abuse emanating from the pulpits is so overwhelming that most parishioners would rather stay away than be exposed to such mayhem.
Satan has infiltrated in to the Christian circle with the purpose of discrediting God's word. The strategy is to impersonate preachers of the gospel and create make the church unsafe and very obnoxious to the world. There are reports of heinous crimes being perpetrated by these charlatans under a non-existent immunity. Very often, they quote 1chronicles 16:22" Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." but that statement isn't referring to a prophet without the requisite discipline.
PROPHETS ARE NOT FOR HIRE AND DO NOT DEMAND MONEY BEFORE EXECUTING A DUTY
Prophet Abraham recognized the place of the integrity of the prophetic office when he said to the king of Sodom in  [NLT] Genesis 14:23 "that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say, ‘I am the one who made Abram rich.’ Abraham was a businessman who's business generated him immense wealth. Genesis13:2 "And Abram  was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in  gold." He was a billionaire.
Prophet Elijah maintained his integrity and that of God's word by letting men know , MIRACULOUS HEALING IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD. [NLT] 2 Kings 5:15 Then Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.” False prophets.  demand for so-called "miracle seed "in advance.They collect, houses, jewelry, cars etc from unsuspecting victims.
JESUS CHRIST NEVER DEMANDED "MIRACLE SEED" FROM ANYONE NEITHER DID HIS DISCIPLES.
Offerings under the new testament are an expression of one's faith or loyalty and love for God. It is to be prayerfully and wilfully given. When you give a love gift you do it without expecting a payback from the recipients for that would negate the purpose of the gift which is to create a cordial and intimate relationship between the giver and the receiver. THE CHURCH IS DRIVEN BY LOVE THEREFORE GIFTS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A BARGAINING TOOL. [NLT] Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!  MIRACLES ARE FOR FREE, YOU DO NOT PAY ANYTHING BEFORE AND AFTER A MIRACLE. Jesus expressly told His disciples not to collect money . He never intended a healing ministry to be a money making venture given that poor persons may not be able to pay.
GOD'S SERVANTS DO NOT PRAY AND DEMAND MONEY FROM THOSE PRAYED FOR. In 1 kings 17.13 Elijah was hungry and needed food and prayed that his hosts will not lack food and they never did. It was a singular case that should never be used as a general formula , for that will be illogical. Example, if giving  food to a preacher results in the multiplication of the food then why do we need farms then?
The preacher is expected to render spiritual service without a price . Isaiah 45.13 "I will raise [Cyrus] up in righteousness [willing in every way that which is right and proper], and I will direct all his ways; he will build My city, and he will let My captives go, not for hire or for a bribe, says the Lord of hosts".

Prayer  : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you  I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to live in integrity.
