Blessed Stories From Brother Bob

THE TAX MAN AND THE PREACHER

     One day a tax man visited a preacher to determine what taxes he owed. The tax man asked the preacher to list the property that he owned. The preacher told the
tax man I'm very wealthy and listed below is everything that I own. 

First I have everlasting life John 3:16

Second I have a mansion in heaven John 14:2

Third I have peace that passes all understanding Philippians 4:7

Fourth I have joy unspeakable and full of glory 1 Peter 1:8

Fifth I have divine love which never faileth 1 Corinthians 13:8

Sixth I have a faithful pious wife better than rubies Proverbs 31:10

Seventh I have healthy happy obedient children Exodus 20:12

Eighth I have true loyal friends and Jesus Proverbs 18:24

Ninth I have a song in the night Psalm 42:8

Tenth I have a crown of life James 1:12

The tax man closed his book and said 

Preacher truly you are a very rich man

but your blessings are not taxable

A CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY AT THE BERLIN WALL

     When the Berlin Wall existed, most of the people in East Berlin were Communist without our Lord Jesus while most of the people in West Berlin were christians saved by our Lord Jesus. One day some unsaved people from East Berlin dumped a truckload of garbage on the side of the West Berlin Wall. The people from West Berlin could have also dumped garbage on the side of the East Berlin Wall. Instead the christians from West Berlin took a truckload of canned goods, bread, and milk, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side. 

On top of this stack of blessings on the East Berlin side they placed a sign

Each gives what he has

     Let's all be like the christians of West Berlin and get saved, blessing and loving our enemies, allowing the light of Jesus to shine to lost sinners in this world. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 

Remember it's worth being a christian and love your enemies

There's a payoff and blessings that you will receive 

When you love your enemies and rejoice when you are

persecuted for living for Jesus

Every day remember the blessed promise at James 1:25 

for serving Jesus when you feel it's not worth serving Jesus

Say Lord Jesus help me not to be just a hearer but a doer of your Word

Hallelujah, if I do the Word, I'll be blessed in every area of my life

I'll always forgive and love all my enemies

and rejoice during any persecution for Jesus

Say I'll keep my phone line open to even my worst enemy
and answer their requests for forgiveness and help
when I see an enemies name appear on my caller ID

This is because Proverbs 24:17 tell us
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth
and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth

Lord Jesus since you daily forgive thousands of our innumerable sins
let us forgive and love our enemies forevermore like you
always forgetting their faults with no memory of their past wrongs

THE LITTLE BOY AND THE CANDY STORE

     One day a little boy standing outside a candy store looked at the many jars of candy in the window. He saw a sign on the window that said "Please do not lick the window." Today many christians are like this little boy standing outside the storehouse of God's provision, wondering how they can make all of God's good blessings theirs. 

DON'T STAND OUTSIDE GO IN

Romans 8:32 promises

He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all

how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?

Whatever you need

Just pray in the name of Jesus

believing with a mustard seed of faith

Keep going to church and reading the Word and praying

and the mountain will move away 

and nothing will be impossible unto you

according to Matthew 17:20

     You can't be saved and not know you're saved. This is because you get a witness after you get saved according to 1 John 5:10 that says He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. After anyone is truly saved they will know that they have eternal life (Once saved always saved). This is promised at 1 John 5:13 that says  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (in other words when anyone gets saved they will know that they are saved and have eternal life) (eternal life can never die). Salvation can't be lost.
