Jesus Fair 2013

Hello everyone, this is James Wilson....I created this page to share the truth about Jesus. I want to talk about something that is weighing heavy on my heart. I find a lot that people, yes, even Christians go around acting above others. I mean, just because someone doesn't do the bad sins, they think they are better or above someone who does in Romans 3:23 (New International Version)
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.....or in Romans 3:10
As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one
You see, the bible tells us that for a reason, the purpose being, to show we are all equal. I see that wherever I go, people are always putting sins into categories...like some sins are less worse than others. I am afraid to say they are all equal in the eyes of God. The bible tells us in James 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it..... A ra**st, murderer, thief, child molester are equally as bad as lying...enjoying or**es, drunkenness and cheating..to name a few. People we need to look at the situation differently.....we as people are always consumed with the actions of others as a way to make ourselves feel better...."I am not a murderer at least"...or"I was raised better than that" when faced with a sin they themselves couldn't fathom doing...so like I said, it is not the actions that we should focus on, but an attitude of the mind....all sin is a choice..an individual choice...and this sin or choice of independence is at the very heart of the matter concerning all of creation. Independence........mankind has tried to do "IT" live apart from God since the beginning. We are created by God to be in a relationship of love with Him, and when we choose independence, a life apart from God, is when all of the problems mankind has had since the dawn of time begin. The bible says in Ephesians 2 (New International Version)
Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts............ This passage is speaking about the way a follower of Christ used to live when apart from God and giving in to sin and the cravings of the flesh....see, we have a choice...if we choose to live with God, we will live a life of love...for God is love......and these are the attributes of love......... 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
New International Version
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I say to you all in parting, love one another..have a relationship with God through His son Jesus Christ....CHOOSE Him and love will soon follow, then we can begin to love people regardless of their choices or sins, just like Jesus has done with us. God bless you all, until next time :)

Hello Everyone, I want to say praise God for you!!! Today I would like to talk about perceived wealth.....I ran from God my whole life and in doing so find myself penniless. I recently had the pleasure of meeting a man who was worth many tens of millions, it was a chance encounter but one of the greatest experiences for me to grasp a thing the Lord was trying to teach me. I used to accept the definition of what the " World " thought of me or had determined what I was by my own choices and actions, or by what people just perceived me as. See my sermon with the time stamp of December 3rd at 1:59am. I want to revisit this because in my encounter with a very wealthy man, I felt like an equal to him. With the wholeness and fullness of who I was in Christ...I am equal to any man who has ever walked this earth.Not in a prideful way, but in the acceptance that I am specially created by my Lord, to be in a relationship with him......and this knowledge or rather my belief in this knowledge has set me free from the stronghold of my acceptance of the worlds definition of myself. So confident and assured of my place in the heavenly realm as a child of light I am able to meet this man with uprightness and unwavering gaze. I only have to remain in Christ every waking moment lest I grow prideful and forget it is not by my power at all, but by the grace of my Father that I have been redeemed and lifted up to restoration! This scripture will help a little explain the world view versus God view. I pray the many blessings of the Lord be with you always!!!
Psalm 49
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who live in this world,
2 both low and high,
rich and poor alike:
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom;
the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.
4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;
with the harp I will expound my riddle:

5 Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—
9 so that they should live on forever
and not see decay.
10 For all can see that the wise die,
that the foolish and the senseless also perish,
leaving their wealth to others.
11 Their tombs will remain their houses[b] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had[c] named lands after themselves.

12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure;
they are like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[d]
14 They are like sheep and are destined to die;
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;
he will surely take me to himself.
16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
when the splendor of their houses increases;
17 for they will take nothing with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,
who will never again see the light of life.

20 People who have wealth but lack understanding
are like the beasts that perish.

Hi Everyone....I hope today finds all of you well! I want to share some of the scriptures that nourish me Daily! When I need uplifting or just to start my day right I read from the book of Proverbs...GOD BLESS YOU! Proverbs 4

Get Wisdom at Any Cost

1 Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
3 For I too was a son to my father,
still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
“Take hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom.
Though it cost all you have,[b] get understanding.
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will give you a garland to grace your head
and present you with a glorious crown.”
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
