A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Treasures”
Matthew 6:19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Are you laying up for yourself treasures in heaven? Are you heavenly minded or worldly minded? Our hope is in Christ Jesus, the Son of the Living God—not in this world. Jesus knows we need food, clothing and a place to live. All of these things pass away, except what you do for the Lord. Everything we do for Jesus stands. How we treat others, how we give our money, what we do with the talents He has given us. We must not hide our talents. We must use our talents for Christ. Ask the Lord to show you what He would have you to do for Him. Ask Him to show you your talents----He will. The Bible says for us to seek FIRST the things of God and ALL of the other stuff will be added to you. Stand on the promises of the Living Word. All of the promises in the Bible are yours. They are not just for someone else. Claim all of His promises for yourself and put up all of your treasures with the Lord. No one can take these promises and treasures away from you. No one can destroy or steal the promises Jesus has for you. Don’t you love it!!
Dear Jesus, Thank You for all of Your promises. I know they are ALL for me. Reveal to me Your will and Your work that You have for me to do. I am willing to obey. I want to store up my treasures in heaven and I know You will take care of the rest. In Your precious name I ask these things. Amen

"Praise Ye The Lord"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Praise Ye The Lord”
Psalms 61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Praise the Lord! Thank You Jesus! Thank You My Lord and Savior for Your tender Mercies and Your loving Grace. Thank You for Your many, many blessing above my need. I love You Lord! I worship You Lord! I bow before You Lord! You are Holy Lord! Don’t you just LOVE to praise the Lord! There are so many ways to praise Him. You can always speak His praises and He loves to hear you praise Him, but the best way is to speak them AND live them. We must perform these praise vows daily. When we gave our lives to Him, we vowed to love, live and serve Him all the rest of our days. Living and speaking for Jesus is a daily thing. It is a way of life—not out of duty. We can never DO enough. We must live for Him and praise Him out of our love for Him. He loved us so much He died on the cross. He died a cruel death so we might have life and have live abundantly. What do you think you are going to be doing in Heaven for all Eternity???? Praise Ye The Lord!!
Lord, I will praise you now and for ever more, with everything that is in me and when I draw my last breath---still---I will praise You. With Job I say “Though You slay me, yet I will trust You, Oh Lord. Amen

"God's Army"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
BY SANDRA RHYNES
“God’s Army”
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
We as the Christian Soldiers should be strong in Jesus, strong for service, strong for suffering, strong for work and strong for fighting spiritual warfare. Spiritual strength and courage are very necessary for spiritual warfare. All of our strength is sufficient in God. We fight spiritual warfare in the power of His might—not our own power and might. We put on God’s whole armour to work, fight and stand. We also must read God’s Word and pray. Make no mistake about it, WE ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE, and the only way to fight it is in the Spirit. Are you a Soldier in God’s Army? Are you just standing by and letting others do the fighting? I heard someone say the other day, “GET IN THE FIGHT!” Come on! Be a part of the winning side! Read the back of the Book! We are the WINNERS! Praise the Lord!
Lord and Savior, I will put all my mind, soul, strength, and spirit into being the Christian Soldier that You would have me to be. I stir up the gifts that are within me. Make me strong in Your power and might. In Your Name, Amen

"Holiness"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
BY Sandra Rhynes
Hebrews 12:15
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
The Lord reminded me of something this morning and I have to share. As you know His coming is so near at hand and He wants all of us to be ready. He reminded me of this scripture. You know some days I don’t feel very holy. Sometimes I don’t seem to know what holiness even is. I know I sure want to see God. Soooo I looked it up in the dictionary and here is what it says, of course is, a state of being holy. Then there is that little word mentioned next, “sanctity” this means to be set a part. That sounds a lot like sanctified, oh I looked that up too, and that is what it says as well. So if we are to see God we are to be “set apart” for heaven. Now, He said something else to me, In I Peter 1:15-16 it says “because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy” but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. Can others tell the difference between you and the rest of the world? Can they tell by your actions that you are set apart for Jesus? Strive for peace with every person and seek holiness. Peace and holiness are connected. There can be no true peace without holiness. This is what the Lord calls us to do. Faith and patience enable us to follow peace and holiness.
Lord, Jesus, I want to have peace and holiness. I seek these with my whole heart. Thank You Father, for this hunger. Help me to continue to be a peacemaker and strive for holiness in word and deed. In Your precious name I ask it. Amen

"City Of Gold"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“City Of Gold”
Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
I am sooo looking forward to that city of gold. In the book of Revelation this city is described as one with pure gold streets, a river coming down from the throne of God that is crystal clear. Then there is the Tree of Life with 12 different kinds of fruit (wonder which 12 it will be), also, walls of Jasper (a precious stone), gates of pearl, no need for sun or moon, and the Glory of the Lord God Almighty will be the illuminate light. No more tears, pain or sorrows. We will have all of eternity to praise Him. Can you imagine? I can’t. I have dreamed of it and the dreams were wonderful. The Bible states it this way, eyes have not seen nor have ears heard what Jesus has prepared for us there. Most of all I want to see Jesus, the one who died for me. You know, if you had been the only person on earth, He would still have died for YOU. Continue to seek the Lord and His wonderful city. See you there!
Oh, my Savior, I yearn to see Your Glorious face. I long to hear “well done thou good and faithful servant, enter in.” Thank You for the blessed hope of Heaven. I love You, Lord Amen
