-- Brad & Ron's Daily Devotions For Coonhunters (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=154665)

1 THESSALONIANS 5:1-10

"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him."

STEVE,

YOU ARE 100 % CORRECT MY FRIEND.....WE NEED TO STAY FOCUSED ON GOD AND HIS WILL FOR US AND WE WILL EXPERIENCE THE TRUE JOYS THAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US ALL.

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS EACH AND EVERY PERSON WHO VISITS THIS THREAD OR PARTICIPATES IN ANY WAY. MAY ALL OF THE GLORY BE LIFTED OP TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! AMEN.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

EPHESIANS 3:17-19

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

THE LOVE OF GOD EXCEEDS ALL HEARTACHE, PAIN, AND SORROW AND WE SHALL LEAN UPON HIM DAILY, THROUGH GOOD AND BAD TIMES WE SHALL WORSHIP AND PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOR GOD IS GOOD AND HIS SON WAS SENT AS A SACRIFICE SO THAT WE MAY BE FORGIVEN AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN ONE DAY!

IF YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO TODAY BECAUSE HE WILL BE COMING SOON SUCH AS A LABOR PAIN THAT HAS FALLEN UPON A SOON TO BE MOTHER....................PLEASE BE READY!!! GOD BLESS.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

Romans 6:1-8

[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.
[8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Very wonderful scripture I like it all, I really like verse 4 and I really enjoy my new life in Christ because it has been the most rewarding of all my life. And someday I will spend eternity in Heaven with God and my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! How about you are you walking in newness of life with Christ, if not then you can, just repent of your sins and believe that Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. John 3: [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

MARK 1: 4-8

"John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost."

MR. HUBBARD,

THANK YOU FOR POSTING AND SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH US WHO VISIT THIS THREAD, THE SCRIPTUIRE IS A BLESSING. THANKS.

On the Black and Tan and Bluetick sections there is a Stud Auction going on and its for for a nine month old baby with a lot of health issues. This auction is to raise money to help pay medical bills and help this little guy with physical therapy(to help him learn to swallow on his own), and he needs all the prayers and support possible. I ask that you all keep him in your prayers and if you would take a look at the post, his picture is posted. Thank you everyone on this post i really enjoy it and please keep up God's work. thanks, Gabe

PSALM 107:33-43

33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM TODAY. GOD BLESS.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

PHILIPPIANS 3:20

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:”


IN OUR SERMON AT CHURCH LAST SUNDAY WE AS A CONGREGATION WERE CHALLENGED TO END EACH CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY BY SAYING TO THAT INDIVIDUAL "MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU". AFTER THE SERMON AS I FELLOWSHIPPED WITH SOME OF MY LIFE LONG FRIENDS, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH, A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE PUT THE CHALLENGE IN ACTION AS HE SAID "GOD BLESS YOU BRAD............... I SAID "AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU GARRY RITZ." WELL SEE, HERE IS THE REST OF THE STORY.......

IF PEOPLE ARE FOCUSED ON WORDLY THINGS AND SITUATIONS IT IS EASY TO QUICKLY LOSE SIGHT OF OUR SAVIOR ONCE WE LEAVE THE CONFINES OF THE CHURCH BUILDING ON SUNDAY. MR. GARRY RITZ HAS A LOT OF CHALLENGES GOING ON IN HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER AND THE WEIGHT OF THE TREATMENTS ON HIS MIND AS WELL AS HIS PHYSICAL BODY.

HOWEVER, BEING THE MAN AND DEAR FRIEND THAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN HE PUT ALL OF THE WORLDLY WORRIES AND AILMENTS BEHIND HIM AND ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE TO FOCUS ON GOD BY BLESSING ME AFTER OUR CONVERSATION IN THE FELLOWSHIP HALL. I WANT TO THANK GARRY FOR THE EXAMPLE OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND LOVE OF CHRIST THAT HE EXHIBITED TO ME SUNDAY. EVEN THOUGH I AM IN GREAT HEALTH I TOO HAVE MADE THE COMMITTMENT TO LEAVE THE WORLDLY WORRIES AND AILMENTS AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND I HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP MY FOCUS DIRECTLY ON OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, FOR ONLY THROUGH HIM CAN A MAN REACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD KNOWN AS HEAVEN. NOW I CHALLENGE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME THING, END YOUR CONVERSATIONS THROUGHOUT EVERYDAY, WHETHER IT BE WITH A FAMILY MEMBER OR A COMPLETE STRANGER, BY SIMPLY SAYING, "MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU!". TRY IT AND SEE HOW IT IMPACTS YOUR SPIRIT AND WATCH HOW GOD WILL WORK THROUGH YOU AS A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS.

GOD I OFFER UP SINCERE PRAYER AT THIS TIME FOR MR. GARRY RITZ.............

MY FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN WHO HEARS MY EVERY WORD AND KNOWS WHAT IS IN MY HEART. I ASK THAT YOU BLESS GARRY AND HIS FAMILY AND MAY YOU LAY YOUR HEALING HAND UPON HIS BODY AND BRING STRENGTH AND HEALTH TO HIM IN HIS TIME OF NEED. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR PLACING GARRY IN MY LIFE BOTH AS AN CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE AS WELL AS MY VERY DEAR FRIEND WHO KNOWS MY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES YET LOVES ME REGARDLESS JUST AS YOU HAVE LOVED US LORD. I PRAY THAT GARRY CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON YOU FIRST LORD AND ALL OTHER WORLDLY THINGS LAST FOR IN YOU IS THE POWER TO HEAL, THE POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD, AND THE POWER TO MOVE MOUNTIANS........... IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON, JESUS CHRIST, I OFFER UP THIS PRAYER. AMEN.

CELIA STUART, MR. PICKETT, AND THE LITTLE ONE,

WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOUR NEEDS AS WELL AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS UNMENTIONED PRAYER REQUESTS..........
MAY THE PEACE OF THE LORD BE LAID UPON YOU AND MAY YOU FOCUS ON HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE HERE ON EARTH.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

EPHESIANS 6:1-18

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."
