You call me out upon the waters...  In oceans deep...  But are always with me... I'm forever yours...

You call me out upon the waters… In oceans deep… But are always with me…
I’m forever yours…

We are all called out upon the water…  Peter was called out upon the water when he was crossing the Sea of Galilee with the other disciples to meet with Jesus on the other shore.  As they neared the middle of the sea a storm began to rage and they saw a figure from afar off coming toward them.   They became frightened, but as the figure came closer, they realized that it was Jesus walking on the water toward them.  When Jesus came near to the boat he told Peter to come meet him out on the water.  Peter stepped out of the boat and was on the water when he looked back and sank, because he had taken his eyes off Jesus….  But this is exactly what the disciples needed to see, Christ doing a miracle to help their doubting minds…  God gives us opportunity to reach beyond what we think we can do…  So he sets the goal out a little further than we think we can reach…  And in doing so he teaches us to be more productive in him than we could ever be in ourselves…  It is then that we are blessed and he is glorified…  God can take just plain old me and make me more than I could ever be alone…  Alone I am nothing, but in him, I am a new creäture and he gives me strength and guides me on to his perfect plan…  “For I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me”…

As long as we keep our eyes on Jesus and our mind on the tasks he gives us to do we can reach beyond our mortal boundaries and succeed where we should have failed.  It doesn’t mean we will succeed the first time always, but we must be persistent in our search for answers.  We must “labor to produce” and that doesn’t always come easy.  God sometimes treats us like the spiritual children that we are and lets us scrape our knees and get a few bruises  in order to learn a lesson but he doesn’t leave us hanging.  He promises “seek and ye shall find” …  As a loving father, he is there to help us but we must seek…  We have to put out the effort and do our part.  He has sent us a help mate who is the Holy Spirit …  And our King and Savior Jesus Christ who talks to the Father in our behalf.  God has given Jesus all power and we cannot come to God except thru him…  We get strength thru Jesus who is our example and our leader…  He will help us as we weather the trials and minister unto others  of his truth and righteousness…  He is the Son of God…  Therefor, Jesus, I am and always will be, forever yours…  Amen…

I Am One…

I am one, a voice crying in the wilderness...

I am one, a voice crying in the wilderness…

By John Armes

I am one…  I am one man..  I am one man, a voice crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord.  Make His paths straight.  For there is one who comes after me that I am unworthy to unlatch His shoes.  “I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”  “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”  The gospel message is that the people should repent (change their minds and forsake their sins) in order to receive the remission of sins. Otherwise they would be in no position to receive the Lord. Only holy people are able to appreciate the Holy Son of God.  Repent and be holy and you will see the glory of God.  Jesus came to earth over 2000 years ago in love and peace, and gave His life a ransom for many.  He is coming again, but this time He will set on the judgment seat and will separate the righteous from the unrighteous.  He will send the righteous on to their reward and the unrighteous on to eternal damnation. And Jesus spoke to his disciples and the multitudes in Matthew 23:33…  “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”  So, in this day and age is this considered “hate speech”, or is it just a warning of impending doom for those who reject the one true Christ, the Son of God.  Do we hate our fellow man by telling him that there is a large open pit which he cannot see and he is walking right into it, and he will be consumed in it.  That he is heading to a place of pain and torment and there will be “wailing and gnashing of teeth” it is so terrible.  Or, do we tell him he is doing ok and there is no problem…  Everything is fine.  You will have great riches, good health, miracles and never have to worry about anything ever again.  What happens when he falls in that pit.  When he looks at us and screams “why didn’t you tell me that pit was there”?…  The gospel tells us that it is because we have sinned against God and we are heading for hell that we need to accept Christ as savior.  It is because of our wicked fallen state, our blatant disregard of Gods law, and an uncontrollable urge to sin that we need redemption.  That is the time old message, not promises of wealth and prosperity.

Our world is slowly deteriorating into a world where good is becoming bad and bad is becoming good.  To be “politically correct” simply means to be incorrect and act as though it is correct.  Where it is easier to do evil than good.  Are these not signs of the end times.  Christ will come back and judge man when man is no longer redeemable.  When man no longer tolerates the gospel of Christ.  When man revels in his sin and wants to cease the words of truth that condemn him.  We Christians are a reminder of that truth and the world will grow to hate us because of it.  But I am one man crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord.  One man with a message for the world.  Not a new message, but the same old message that was presented to my father, and his father, and his father before him.  Give me that old time religion, it’s good enough for me.  Make straight the way of the Lord.  Repent and be baptized.  The message has not changed, yet in churches today it is watered down, made more “tolerable” , changed “according to our liking”, into something less than it was originally intended. Today in some churches, there is more emphasis on entertainment than learning, evangelism, and salvation, and we think that we have to look and act like the world to convince the world of their need for a savior.  The way we dress, our words, and even our music has been formed in such a way that it mimics the world.  It even seems like the church has lost it’s way.  We went from “black and white” to simply “shades of gray”.  What was wrong in our parents generation is still wrong today, because God, His truth, and His law never changes.  It always stays the same.

No wonder the world is confused.  When they look at us do they see a people “set apart” or are we just a mirror image of them and not any different than what they are.  How can you convince someone of a change if they see no change in you.  It is true we have all sinned and no man is better than the other, we have all sinned in Gods eyes, but when the world sees us Christians they should see a repentant sinner, no better than them, but redeemed by the blood of the lamb and saved only because of the grace of God.  Someone that God has reached down and picked up out of the miry clay, brushed off and set on the rock.  Someone who God has drastically changed, cleaned up their lives, and set them on a new journey, shaping them into the person that God intended us to be.  Someone who will go back and stand outside the pit and help pull others out so they too can experience the awesome grace and salvation that our risen savior has offered to mankind for the past 2000 years.  We don’t need a new gospel, we just have to follow the original message.  Anything different than Christ’s original gospel and his true message, becomes a false gospel.  To follow the true Christ you have to know who He is.  If you are following anything other than the Jesus of the Bible, you are following a false God.

MP900384851

“Study to show thy self approved.”  If you don’t have a Bible, get one and read it.  If you do have a Bible, take it off the shelf, dust it off and begin reading.  Don’t let someone else tell you, let God speak to you thru His word.  When you read your Bible, God talks to you.  When you pray, you talk to God.  Keep the communication lines open.  Stay connected with God, He wants to connect with you.  And when you have read and learned the Bible you will begin to see the error of false doctrine and be able to tell the true from false.  You will be able to see when someone is trying to lead you astray.  For there will be many false teachers and false religions in the last days and you need to be able to spot them.   The Bible may be your only guide to keep you from falling in this pit.  “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”  Do not be led astray.  “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  Trust in the Lord and He will guide all your paths. 

   God will lead you and work with you but you must take that first step.  You must put your trust in the Lord and have faith that he will deliver.  How many times do we pray about something and ask God to “make it happen”, and than continuously worry about it.  It’s like God is saying “I will take care of it”, and we keep worrying and doubting and than when he does do something about our request we act surprised that everything worked out.  What does that tell God about our faith?  Could God be saying to us “oh thou of little faith” as Jesus said to Peter.  Do we have the faith of a mustard seed, the smallest seed there is?  Jesus said that if we had just a little faith we could move mountains.  How much faith do we really have?

God is so wonderful that if someone could see where God has worked in my life they would think that there is a lot of “coincidences” where things worked out for me, but I know better.  I can see the hand of God working with me as I look back on my life as I am sure some of you can.  It doesn’t mean that everything goes my way all the time. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have any rough spots in my life.  It just means that when the storms rage, and the heartaches come, that Jesus is there with me, beside me, leading me out of the storm, but sometimes I have to go thru the storm to see God better.  To see where he is working in my life and reminding me that he is still there…  He wants us to go to him with all our needs.  You see, we fail him…  He doesn’t fail us.  He is always there to pick us up when we fall, and to brush us off and set us on our feet.  But, just as we do with our kids when they are growing up, he has to let us fall so he can pick us up.  He is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, which means that he is all knowing, all seeing, and able to be everywhere at the same time.  So when we think we know better than him, that is when we fall.  But when he picks us up he shows us that he knows better than us.  As a patient and loving father to his kids.  Not saying “I told you so”, or pointing an accusing finger at us, but holding us in his arms of love.  Someone who is great doesn’t have to tell anyone they are great, they don’t have to prove anything or defend themselves because people already know they are great.  And often great people have a respect and compassion for all people.  Christ did, and as we become more mature Christians than God changes us over time to be more like Christ.

OXYGEN VOLUME 13

“So I tell you to make straight the way of the Lord.  Believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, for we are in the business of saving men’s souls, and we should be about our fathers business.  God’s kingdom is at hand.  Repent and be baptized, for now is the season of harvest, now is the day of salvation, and the fields are plenteous, but the laborers are few.    Brothers and sisters, now is the time to take up your cross and follow Him.  The end time is drawing nigh, this day will never pass this way again and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.  Yes, you are only one, but you are not alone.  You and God make a majority.      What you have to do for the Lord, do now.  Be that one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord.  Be set apart from the world, for we are in this world but not of this world.  Lean on God’s understanding and not your own because he can do far better than we can.  I am one, but we are one in the spirit, together redeemed by the blood of Christ, and saved by the grace of God.  So now there is you, me, and God and together we can be strong.   Together we have true purpose.  Together we can help change lives.  And together, me you and God can change the world.  The world is waiting..   Now is the time, today is that day…  What are we waiting for?……..

WCFN2

By John Armes

Over 2000 years ago a baby was born who changed the world, and He grew into a man that has captured the hearts and changed the lives of billions of people thru the ages and all over the globe. That man was and is Jesus Christ, and He came to save the world, but also to be an example for us. As Christians, we must also be examples to the rest of the world as ambassadors for Christ and tell the world who He is and what His purpose was for coming to earth as the Son of God.

The last thing that Christ said to His disciples before He ascended into Heaven to be with His heavenly father was “go preach and teach the gospel to all nations”. With the internet this is possible today more than ever. Billions of people can be reached for Christ across the world now as a result of today’s technology. The gospel message and examples of true Christian community can be shared with those people who may not otherwise have access to it. It can be delivered right into peoples living rooms across the world.

John Photo croppedMy name is John Armes and I am the CEO and founder of Armes & Associates and Worldwide Christian Family Network. My web site ArmesAssociates.com now goes to over 54 countries where people can read my articles and stories about Christian faith and hope. I trust that this web site has blessed many lives thru this online ministry, but now we hope to expand our efforts to reach more people with the gospel and Christian programs that will touch peoples lives in a very special way. In a way that they can relate to, and in a way which would allow the Holy Spirit to have full sway in which to work in the lives of many.

I know that many of you lead busy lives with family, work, and personal goals, but I would like you to be a part of this ministry thru your prayers and donations, and help pass the word about this new station to others who may wish to be involved in the great commission and it’s support. The name of our station is going to be Worldwide Christian Family Network. It will contain “video on demand” with music, talk-show programs and movies, as well as streaming programs 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, but we can’t do it without you. We need a building where we can have a studio with 3 or 4 sets to create the video and programs for the station. We also need some additional broadcast and video production equipment in order to compete in the industry and to present programming at a professional level. Some content will be from other sources, but we wish to do some of the programs at the station using pastors, churches, and Christian volunteers in the local area. It is our belief that we can present interesting and professional content thru local Christian talent that would be both informative and entertaining yet true to the word of God.  You can donate by going to armesassociates.com and selecting the donate page at the top middle and than clicking on the donate button on the donate page.  Click Here To Donate

Please help us with your donation to expand our reach to more people with God’s word and the Gospel of Christ to those who may not otherwise have access to it. You can be part of this ministry, God’s ministry to all people by supporting Worldwide Christian Family Network. Won’t you pray about it and search your heart to help us in the most important undertaking of all time – to spread the gospel of Christ thru this tv station. Worldwide Christian Family Network – a station for Christians and the world, by Christians dedicated to spread the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please visit ArmesAssociates.com, read the stories, leave a comment and consider supporting Worldwide Christian Family Network. Thank You.
