The Police

 

The Police!

 

"I have pulled dead, mangled bodies from cars.
I have lied to people as they were dying.
I said you are going to be fine as I held their hand and watched the life fade out.
I have held dying babies. Bought lunch for people who were mentally ill and haven't eaten in a while.
I have had people try to stab me. Fought with men trying to shoot me.
I've been attacked by women while I was arresting their husband who had just severely beat them.
I have held towels on bullet wounds.
Done CPR when I knew it wouldn't help just to make family members feel better.
I have torn down doors, fought in drug houses. Chased fugitives through the woods.
I have been in high-speed car chases.
Foot chases across an interstate during rush hour traffic.
I have been in crashes. Been squeezing the trigger about to kill a man when they came to their senses and stopped. Waded through large angry crowds by myself.
Drove like a madman to help a fellow officer. Let little kids who don't have much sit in my patrol car and pretend they are a cop for their birthday.
I have taken a lot of people to jail. Given many breaks. Prayed for people I don't even know. Yes, and at times I have been "violent" when I had to be. I have been kind when I could.
I admit I have driven to some dark place and cried by myself when I was overwhelmed.
I have missed Christmas and other holidays more than I wanted to.
Every cop I know has done all these things and more for lousy pay, exhausting hours, and a short life expectancy.
We don't want your pity, I don't even ask for your respect. Just let us do our jobs without killing us"
Thank You Police Officers of America

I have known two Police Officers, an uncle in National City, Ca. and a neighbor in San Antonio, Tx. They both fit this description; I know there are bad Police officers just like there are bad people in every profession and vocation. But the majority are good, honest people who serve the public.

Word For 7/5/2022

 

“Now may The GOD of Peace Himself Sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our LORD and Savoir, JESUS CHRIST. He Who calls you is Faithful, Who will also do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

“Are we prepared for what sanctification will cost? It will cost an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth, and an immense broadening of all our interests in GOD.”

Oswald Chambers

 

This is the result of Nicodemus’ conversation with JESUS in John 3:1-21. When we are born again of water and SPIRIT we are no longer to live in the flesh but in the SPIRIT of GOD. For some of us it was a dramatic and life changing experience that left us unable to continue in our own life. For some of us it was a subtle change through realization of JESUS by His SPIRIT and Word. For some of us it was a combination of the two, that was my experience.

 

No matter how we begin our walk with GOD in CHRIST the end result has to be the same if we expect to enter into His Eternal Kingdom; No more living for ourself, only and wholly for JESUS!

Seek GOD First!

GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene

John 3:1-21 JESUS and Nicodemus:

:1-2 Nicodemus recognizes JESUS as sent by GOD.

:3 JESUS tells him he must be Born Again to see GOD’s Kingdom.

:4 Nicodemus asks how?

:5-8 JESUS answers he has to be born of water and SPIRIT to enter into GOD’s Kingdom. What is of the flesh is flesh and what is of The SPIRIT is spirit. As the wind blows wishes so is the one born of The SPIRIT.

:9 Nicodemus again asks, how?

:10 JESUS asks Nicodemus why he does not know this.

:11-12 JESUS tells Nicodemus that He speaks what He has seen and yet He is not believed; if Nicodemus cannot believe earthly truth how can he believe Heavenly Truth.

:13 JESUS affirms His Divine nature as The Son of Man (One born of woman but not by man, Luke 1:26-35)

:14-15 JESUS must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so that whoever believes in JESUS will not perish but have Eternal Life (Numbers 21:4-9).

:16-17 For GOD so Loved the world…

:18-20 Not condemned and condemned, light (JESUS is The Light, John 1:1-5) and dark.

:21 Light is Truth and is done by the servants of GOD.

 

John 14:1-11 JESUS Is:

:1-4 JESUS reassures His disciples that they who believe on GOD should also believe in Him, He is going to prepare a place for them in His Father’s Kingdom, and He will come a second time to receive them so they will be with Him, and they know the way.

:5 Thomas says they do not know the way and asks JESUS to show them the way.

:6-7 JESUS says, “I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me.” If they had known JESUS they would have know The Father and that from then on they would know and see the Father.

:8 Phillip asks JESUS to show them The Father.

:9-11 JESUS chastens Phillip that he should know JESUS therefore he should know The Father. That JESUS and The Father are One and the Words that JESUS speaks are by the authority of The Father Who lives and works in JESUS. “Believe Me that I am in The Father and The Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

 

Romans 10:8-15 “But what does it say, ‘The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is the Word of Faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS and believe in your heart that GOD has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For The Scripture says, ‘Who ever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek (Gentile), for The Same LORD over all is Rich to all who call upon Him. For ‘whoever calls on The Name of The LORD shall be saved.’”

 

Hebrews 13

:5-6 “Let your conduct be without covetousness (greed); be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you not forsake you.’” (Deuteronomy 31:6-8) So we may boldly say: ‘The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” (Luke 12:4-7)

:20-22 “Now may The GOD of Peace Who brought up our LORD JESUS from the dead, that Great Shepherd of the sheep (John 10:11), through The Blood of The Everlasting Covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His Will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through JESUS CHRIST, to Whom be Glory forever and ever. Amen. And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.”
