NEB-U-CHAD-NEZ-ZAR the King, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; peace be multiplied unto you.I Thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the most high God hath wrought toward me. How Great are His wonders. His Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.

At the End of the days I Nebuchadnezzar, Lifted up mine Eyes unto Heaven, and mine Under-standing Returned unto Me, and I Blessed the Most High God and I praised and hon-our Him that live - for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion.

The King now hon-our the KING of Heaven, whose works are truth, and His ways Good and Right. God in His Love show Mercy to the King. As He shows, mercy to us every day. God is a good God, He is still waiting to for give you. He is knocking at your Hearts door, will you let Him in?

King Nebuchadnezzar's Dream

I pray that God will extend his mercy to us which He has shown to man in the past, in spite of his arrogance. In Daniel Chapter 4. the Babylonian king states: "I, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, was at rest in my palace; and I saw a dream which made me afraid. The thoughts upon my bed and the visions in my head troubled me.

Therefore, I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the dream. Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and i told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation. But then Daniel came in before me. In Babylon his name was Belteshazar, according to the name of my god. and in him is the spirit of the holy God. I told him the dream saying, 'O BELTESHAZZAR, master of the magicians, because i know that the spirit of the holy God is in thee, and no secret trouble thee, tell me the visions of my dream that i have seen, and the interpretation.

In my visions I saw a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height was great. The tree grew and was strong, and the height reached unto heaven, and the leaves were fair and there was much fruit on it's branches. There was enough for all, and the beasts of the field and the the fowls of heaven dwelled beneath it. In my visions behold, the holy one came down from heaven and He cried in a loud voice,

'Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches: Nevertheless leave the stump of the roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. Let his heart be changed from man's and let a beast's heart be given him; and let seven times pass over him.'

Daniel said, 'My lord, the dream be to them that that hate you, and the interpretation to your enemies. It is you O King who has grown and become strong: For your greatness is grown, and reached unto Heaven and your dominion to the end of the earth. This is the interpretation: They shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beast of the field, you shall eat grass like the oxen and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven. Seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the most High rules in the kingdom of Men.' "

At the end of twelve months the King walked in his palace in Babylon. He said, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built, by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?"

In that same hour his dream was fulfilled. A voice from heaven repeated the words in his dream...and the King was driven from among men and he ate grass and his body was wet with dew.

At the end of the days, my reason returned to me and I, Nebuchadnezzar, praised, honored and did extol the God and King of Heaven. All of His works are truth and His ways judgment. Those that walk in pride He is able to humble.

Reaching Others for Christ: Our Walk Should Match Our Talk

I love to read the writings of Paul because he endured a lot of trials and struggles for his dedication to preaching the gospel. In his writings to a younger man named Timothy, he encouraged him. I wish every young man had a Paul in their lives who would support them through life's problems and in their frustrations as they try to reach others for Christ. The result of such a union would be a revival in the churches and a greater bond among men.

Nonetheless God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Paul wasn't ashamed of the gospel. He was able to proclaim it anywhere that he went because of his inner assurance that God would protect him until the day of Christ. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus rather than on the criticisms and opinions of people who want to keep us from serving the Lord. Let us walk as children of the light. Christ loved us and gave His live for us. We should continually ask him to fill us with his Spirit so that we may experience his holy presence in our lives without restraint. As we walk, work and live through the working of the Spirit, we should never take our eyes off of Jesus. Instead we should continue to depend on him for all things. He is the one who works in us as we seek to do His will. The Lord will guide us so that we are not doing our own thing, because that will not glorify Christ. Doing the works of God for his glory, honor and praise alone will help us fulfill our true purpose on the earth and will allow us to experience his blessing in our lives.

Second Timothy 1 verses 6-9 & 12

Serve the Lord with Gladness

A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: the book of Proverbs Chapter 1 gives wise counsel to young men. But we could all use a little counsel at times, since we tend to forget a lot of things.

Proverbs Chapter 1 verse 10 states "My son if sinners entice you do not consent. If they say 'Come with us let us lie in wait to shed blood; let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.' My son do not walk in the way with them, keep your feet from that path. For their feet run to evil.

They offer you the world, but they cant deliver. They mock God and his saints so, cast your lot among us. 'Let us have one purse.' they said. Their net is spread in the sight of the birds. They are greedy of gain; and do not know that God is watching them. They hate knowledge, and do not choose the way of the Lord.

But you my son will keep your heart, with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. There is no love like the love of God. You can bank on it. God has made everything beautiful for us to enjoy. Let us give Him thanks, and praise His name, for He is worthy of our praise.

Be Obedient to God's Will

God protects us day by day, we are safe in His arms. God is our helper in our time of need. As we go through life we will have setbacks, but we know that we can depend upon the Lord. The Spirit of God is with us and He will never leave us nor will He forsake us.

God loves us with an everlasting love. Jesus made us worthy by the shedding of His blood on the cross of Calvary. We were so far away from God that we did not want salvation. However God sent His Son, in St. John 3 v 16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Now we can move beyond just being saved by faith and drinking milk to feeding on the meat of the word.

God's love is real. His grace reaches us wherever we are, and we can be confident that He will give us the strength and the power we need to serve Him. Through Christ we have redemption and are saved by faith through His blood in order to serve Him.

The All-Seeing God

Christians enjoy God's grace every day, we trust God and He saved us. His mercy is enough to reach our deepest, darkest sin. His salvation is free, because Christ paid the price of sin for us. His arms are stretched to receive us when we repent of our sin.

If we have no room in our life for God now and you die, you have no chance of repenting, right now God is calling you. He gave his son for you: when we were His enemy, Christ died for us. He promised to make us his child, and he did.

God is willing to save you, no matter what your position is. We don't have to clean up ourselves. God does a better job: He starts from the inside out. He released us from the bandage of sin.

He gives us joy, peace, and a new heart, new mind, and even our thoughts are different. We are more heavenly minded, we don't choose to hold on to things as we do before. All our earthly possessions belong to God.

We focus our attention on Jesus, and we are so taken up with him as if we are bringing a new baby home. Our new life is precious; Jesus lived in us. He takes care of us and loves us very much.
