Blessed Uplifting Thoughts

A Story About Walnuts And Pumpkins

     A tired farmer sat under a walnut tree looking at his pumpkin vines. He said to himself God is foolish to put heavy pumpkins on a frail vine so it has to lie on the ground and then put small walnuts on a tree with branches that can hold a man. Just then a breeze dislodged a walnut and it fell on the farmer's head. The old farmer rubbed his head ruefully and said "Good thing it wasn't a pumpkin up there."

     In other words, don't question anything our Lord Jesus places in our lives. The farmer learned why God didn't place pumpkins on trees quickly after the little walnut hit his head. Friends don't question anything our Lord Jesus said in the bible. Follow the bible that is God's road map for you to succeed in life. It doesn't make sense that a mustard seed of faith can move a mountain and that praying in the name of Jesus will bring results with answered prayer. But if you just believe the promises of God's Word like a little child and do them you will be blessed.

     Just believe God's Word and say when I pray with a mustard seed of faith, the mountain blocking my blessings will be removed and nothing shall be impossible unto me. Matthew 17:20 says And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. And pray your request in Jesus name, believing the promise of John 14:13 stated by our Lord Jesus: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

     Brother Bob believes the promises of God's Word that offers salvation to everyone. Revelation 22:17 says And the Spirit and the bride say Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst, come. And whosoever will let him take the water of life freely. 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. Salvation with our Lord Jesus is better than anything this world has to offer.

Pictured Above We See Herman Who Fell Asleep At Church

Herman Placed The Following Note On His Shirt Sleeve For All To Read

Now I lay me down to sleep

The sermon's long, the subjects deep

If he gets through before I awake

Please give me a little shake

What should you do when people fall asleep in the church?

Somebody ought to wake up the preacher.

A preacher told a man to wake up his friend who was sleeping in church

The man told the preacher, "You put him to sleep, you wake him up."

A preacher told little Johnny I'll give you a dime 

if you keep grandpa awake every Sunday in church

Johnny kept grandpa awake for a month but then grandpa slept again

Johnny told the preacher, "Grandpa gave me 15 cents so I let him sleep."

     Don't be like Herman. Wake up, go to church, and stay alert when you listen to any preacher's sermon. Ephesians 5:14 says Wherefore He saith,  Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly (diligently), not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Time is moving quickly and only what we do for Jesus will last. Wake up and tell everyone on this earth about our Lord Jesus and win souls everywhere. RG Lee said life moves so fast it's like a thin footprint on a sea lashed shore, the stay of a postman, the glimpse of a passing ship, and a quick burst of music down a crowded street. Make the most of every moment of your life by preaching Jesus everywhere.

     And remember the warning stated at 1 Corinthians 15:33: Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners (in other words don't waste time by texting evil communications on facebook and twitter with cellphones). Notice that in the next verse at 1 Corinthians 15:34 God says that instead of wasting time gossiping with evil communications, get your face out of a cellphone, look around, and Awake to righteousness, and sin not (because there are billions of lost sinners all around us needing to hear about Jesus and get saved); for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

     Lord Jesus strengthen us all to obey Romans 13:11: And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast of the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Let's all obey Jude 22: And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.   

Instead of facebook, put your face in the right book (the bible)

Instead of getting many friends on facebook

Be like Abraham and be a friend of God

God has no cellphone, but I talk to Him

God has no facebook, but He's always my friend

God has no twitter, but I follow Him

These Wasted Years

written by Theodore Brennan

I looked upon a farm one day that once I used to own

The barn had fallen to the ground; the fields were overgrown

The house in which my children grew where we had lived for years

I turned to see it broken down and brushed aside the tears

I looked upon my soul one day to find it too had grown

With thorns and nettles everywhere; the seeds neglect had sown

The years had passed while I had cared for things of lesser worth

The things of heaven I let go when minding things of earth

To Christ I turned with bitter tears and cried O Lord forgive

I haven't much time left for thee; not many years to live

The wasted years forever gone; the days I can't recall

If I could live those days again; I'd make Jesus Lord of all

The Penny

Little Is Much When God Is In It

A Blessed Story About A Little Four Year Old Girl's 

Offering Of A Penny To A Missionary

     A little four year old girl longed to preach the message of Jesus to those on the mission field. She contributed a penny to a missionary to help in reaching the primitive people of Burma (now Myanmar). The missionary was so moved by the little girl's response that he decided to do the most he could with that little penny. After careful thought, he bought a gospel tract and personally gave it to a chief of a tribe in Burma.

     The chief could not read and really wanted to know the contents of the little gospel tract. The chief travelled 250 miles to find someone who could read him the gospel tract. After hearing the gospel message about our Lord Jesus, the chief got gloriously saved. Returning to his tribe, the chief told his people what Jesus had done for him. And later the chief invited missionaries to come and preach Jesus to the people of his village. Many tribesmen accepted the good news about Jesus and got saved.

All this and probably more resulted from one dedicated penny

given in Jesus name by a little four year old girl helping

 missionaries save souls with the gospel of Jesus 

     How encouraging that God can use a little penny to win thousands of people to Jesus in Burma. Friend reading this anywhere, you might not have much, but Jesus can use whatever you have to bless multitudes all over this earth. Brother Bob only has a little old computer in a poor neighborhood in Reynoldsburg, Ohio but Jesus has blessed the words of these little bible studies at preachbrotherbob to bless half a million people all over this earth. Believe the promise of Jesus that if you are faithful over a few things, Jesus will make you ruler over many things. I pray in Jesus name that Jesus can say to anyone reading this Matthew 25:21: Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

I just had to write this blessed thought about a penny

dedicated to my friend Randy from Faith Bible Baptist Church in Eden NY

Who is the only President that was not guilty?

Abraham Lincoln who was Innocent (In A Cent)

To close out today's bible study read What We Have In Jesus written by

David Berkowitz (my blessed friend who is saved)

The former Son of Sam now called the Son of Hope who I've written to for 10 years

What We Have In Jesus

A love that can never be fathomed

A righteousness that can never be tarnished

A peace that can never be understood

A rest that can never be disturbed

A joy that can never be diminished

A hope that can never be disappointed

A glory that can never be clouded
A life that can never die

A light that can never be darkened 

A happiness that can never be interrupted

A strength that can never be weakened

A purity that can never be defiled

A beauty that can never be marred

A wisdom that can never be baffled 

And resources that can never be exhausted.

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
