I asked my Daddy once:  What has Jesus really done for you?

He said: “Well son, if I were to tell you everything the Lord has done for me, we would be here all day; but if I can just remember the things which are most important to me, they seem to include everything else.” What are they, I asked? He said: "Well I thank God for, a life to live, both here and above; your mom and family in a house filled with love: A country to live in, and the right to live free; And a church where His children all care about me!"

I said, how can all that happen to me? He said: “Son God gave you a freedom no one can take away from you, the freedom to pray to Him for what you need!”

 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from which cometh my help.  My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." (Psalms 121:1-2)

 There is so many things about this verse that we could say, but there is not enough paper and ink to take care of what has already been written and will be written.  It seems as if David is making a promise to himself and unto the Lord.  "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from which cometh my help." (Which cometh) seems to carry the thought, of  a continuing help, have come in the past, help is coming now, and help will continue to come.  I will lift up mine eyes to a higher plain, because my help comes from above.  My help comes from the Lord that has never failed to help in time of need, it comes directly out of heaven of where we have been positioned in Christ.  This heaven was made by him and waiting for our coming.  Yet as we wait, there is a storehouse of blessings that he sends or brings to us as we continue to lift up our eyes unto the hills which cometh our help.

Before you endeavor to come to God, read Rom. 5:10: You are too late, to prepare yourself to meet Him; for when we were counted enemies unto Him He reconciled us unto Himself, by the death of His Son! God is already satisfied, and has made you accepted by the sacrifice of His Son.

Have you ever heard someone talk about getting ready for Heaven? Not to worry, God will do that for you, and it will happen in just a moment, and you won't even realize it happened.  In 1Cor. 15:51,52 it says: “we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” The word moment here is “atomos” or the space of an atom. I don't even know anyone who can think about what they would wear that quick! 

Isaiah 4:1-2 – Prophecy of the New Testament Church’s Future, being troubled with this erroneous doctrine and practice. Yes, Isaiah, through Divine Inspiration, saw the future 750 years in advance, referencing the major problem with the New Testament Church would be plagued with an attitude of their OWN doctrine and practice, but will still need to be identified with the Proper NAME of Jesus Christ. This has been the historical facts of the last 2000 years now. Verse 2 declares the Spiritual Wonderment of those that can escape from these “worldly endowments” of “do your own thing,” adding to whatever your carnal desires may be, and leaving off whatever does not appeal to the flesh – “window-dressing.” The ones that have escaped are a remnant few, but they are the TRUE New Testament Church, seeing her as most beautiful and glorious, Spiritually (Matt. 7:13-14). Yet, now, the last few years those of Isaiah 4:1 – have even modified their “bread” and “raiment” more so by departing from the NAME, as such, they deem, is a hindrance to their growth. Many of them now have no Denominational Identity in their Names, yet they are “growing organizations,” at least numerically. Now where do we look for the biblical truth? In the DOCTRINE & PRACTICE & NAME – Acts 2:42.

"Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saventh them out of their distresses.  He sent his word, and healed 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)

The thought that I want is "He sent his word and healed them."  How many times have we been discouraged and felt that all was lost?  How many times have we been broken hearted and felt that there was no healing?  How many times have we been laid up sick or our loved in a much worse condition and we felt that our prayers will not be answered?  It seems as things could not get any worse, and someone would come along as the Lord was sending his word to you.  The news would lift you up, it would comfort your heart, and it would bring peace from afar.  You felt as if the Lord had come with healing in his wings, took you up into his arms and spoke to you from his word.  "Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness."
