Pledge of allegiance for all those who believe in God

I pledge allegiance to my Lord, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the originator and ruler of all the universe and in his son, Jesus Christ, a living sacrifice for the redemption of sin of all mankind who is the absolute truth life and light of the universe and through his mercy and grace I have been given Eternal life. I do not pledge allegiance to man, but to my father in heaven, through him all things were made and just by believing in the name of his son I have been given through his grace and mercy eternal life.

Lets read again, very slowly and let the words speak to you.....

I pledge allegiance to my Lord, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the originator and ruler of all the universe and in his son, Jesus Christ, a living sacrifice for the redemption of sin of all mankind who is the absolute truth life and light of the universe and through his mercy and grace I have been given Eternal life. I do not pledge allegiance to man, but to my father in heaven, through him all things were made and just by believing in the name of his son I have been given through his grace and mercy eternal life.


Omniscient - Having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.
Omnipotent - Almighty or infinite in power.  Having very great or unlimited authority or power.
Originator - To take its origin or rise; begin; start; arise.
 
I wrote this Pledge many years ago while journaling one day.  If you would like to continue reading, this is what I wrote after I wrote my Pledge of allegiance.
 
Freely I have been given freely I choose to give. Several pages ago I said if you have to pay for it, whatever it is, it is not from God. What I was referring to had to do with the church and the ministry of the church. The Lord freely gave us his son to die on the cross for the redemption of our sins, he freely gave us mercy, grace and forgiveness, what the Lord gives us is free. What man gives us cost or has a price tag associated with it, the last thing our Lord gave us was free will. The freedom to choose, to discern for our self whom we will serve, our Lord or man. There is hope from a tyrannical government, the hope is in our Lord. We do have to live in this world, we must obey the rules and regulations set forth by man. Matthew 22:21 – give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s. We are God’s children, he created us and made us in his likeness, his spirit dwells within us, we need to give our self over to God. We need to pay Caesar what is Caesar’s – money and give God what is God’s, our self. We live in this world, however, we are not of this world. Have faith my friend, don’t lose hope, help lives within you. Kneel down and pray to the Lord accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and he will send the comforter. The light of life lies within you for the asking, you and only you are in control over your own immortal and eternal destiny. Living with unbelievers in an unjust society is a test of faith. Heavenly Father knows that sin abounds in our society, he asks us to have faith and believe in him, do not doubt, do not worry, do not be critical or negative, don’t complain, stay positive, everything will work out in the end. Our reward waits for us in heaven. With unbelief all around us, we must remain strong and not get distracted or caught up in the evils of the world. We must remain focused with an eye single to his glory. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, may all the honor and glory be yours. Thank you my Heavenly Father for the guidance and counsel of the Holy Spirit. I choose to have faith and believe in the name of your son Lord Jesus. Watch over my family today, bring to them peace, happiness, joy, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Blessed be your name, now and forever.
 
Faith – Hebrews 11:1 – Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Obedience – Hebrews 13:17 – Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
Security – Hebrews 13:6 – Never will I forsake you, never will I leave you.
Same – Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Content – Hebrews 13:5 – Keep your lives free of money and be content with what you have.
Discipline – Hebrews 12:7 – Endure hardships as a discipline. God is treating you as sons, what son is not disciplined by his father who loves him.
Faith – Hebrews 11:6 – Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
 
I was speaking earlier with someone why there was so much darkness and evil on earth and it dawned on me that Heavenly Father cast Satan from heaven to earth. This is where Satan and his cast of evil demons make their home. Revelations 12:7-9 – And there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to earth, and his angels with him. No wonder Satan has such a foothold on earth, this is where our Lord cast him. Now why did Heavenly Father put us on this earth where he cast the prince of darkness. What was he thinking about, why would you send your chosen people into the lions den. Revelations 12:12 – therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you. He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short. Now our Heavenly Father cast the devil to earth infuriating him and all he can think about is sending us down to live with him. Couldn’t he have made another earth? Why the need to send us down, a sheep among wolves. Especially in the old testament where they did not have the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. 1 John 3:8 – He who is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. 1 Peter 5:8 – Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for something to devour. James 4:7, 8 – Submit yourself, then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Go near to God and he will come near to you. 2 Timothy 2:26 – Escape the trap of the devil who will take you captive to do his will. Luke 8:11, 12 – The seed is God’s word. Those along the path are the ones who hear, then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so that they may not believe and be saved. From the Parable of the Sower. The Lord cast the devil to earth, placed us here and then said don’t be tempted by him, watch out for him, don’t let him get a foothold. Only the Lord knows why he didn’t make another earth to put his chosen on. Suffice it to say, this is the stronghold of the devil. You hear people comment, this is hell on earth, well it is true. James 1:2 – trials are a test of faith which develops perseverance. James 1:5 – If anyone lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:19 – Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:22 – Do not merely listen to the words and so deceive yourself. Do what it says. James 2:10 – for whoever. James 2:17 – In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead. James 2:22 – Our faith is made complete by what we do. James 2:24 – A person is justified by what he does, not by faith alone. James 2:20 – As the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without deeds deed. James 4:2, 3 – You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. Guilt – the fact of being responsible for wrongdoing or a crime. A feeling of responsibility for having done something wrong.
 
Another day has come and gone and with each passing day I grow closer to the Lord. I believe I have a gift for healing, I honestly believe, have faith and don’t doubt my ability to lay my hands upon another and by the grace of my Lord Jesus be an instrument for healing according to his will. Thank you Lord for this beautiful day. Thank you for your many blessings. Amen.
 
I would love to help you on your journey of life.  Feel free to contact me at billhytek@hotmail.com to discuss anything you feel as though you need help with.

Being equally yoked in Marriage


The following is an excerpt from my book titled 

 "As I was walking God was talking and this is what he said".  

This is the fourth post in a 6 part series covering the following topics.... 

Fatherhood (posted on December 15)

Teaching our Children (December 16)

Motherhood (December 16)

Absentee Fathers/Godless Fathers (December 17)

Being equally yoked in marriage (todays post)

The Love of the Lord

Doubt

Our choice of words one to another  

Several years ago I spent a great deal of time walking and as I walked I carried a notebook and a pen. I received what I know to be Devine inspiration from God. What you are about to read is what God would like us all to hear. I believe God gave me these words to write down so that I might share them with the world. God our Father in Heaven wants us all to know he Loves us and he also wants us all to know that Love is much more than never having to say you are sorry.  

Please take time to reflect on the words given to me by God our Father in Heaven. God has instructed me to tell you that he would like to ask each of you to take the time to read these multiple times until they really soak into your conscience. He knows that by doing this, you will change your life forever. You will also change the lives of everyone around you. 

Enjoy what God our Father in Heaven has provided me as a gift to you and to all those you know.
 
God Bless one and all.  

Single women, choose a man who loves and serves the Lord. 

If you want your children to grow up loving and obeying the Lord, choose a mate who first lives this and secondly is ready willing and able to take on the responsibility.  

Women choose your men wisely.  

Take notice if he prays continuously, walks in obedience to the Lord, loves and serves unconditionally, is humble, motivated, driven to succeed. Stay away from anyone who does not know the Lord or is a part time follower. 

Do not be unequally yoked. 

2 Corinthians 6:14-18Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?  

Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?  

What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?  

What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?  

People who do not share a common religion have varying views and opinions on religion and on raising children.  

How can a father who is an unbeliever teach a child how to believe?  

How can a mother who is a believer be both the comforter and instructor?   

What is the role of the father?  

One of the parents will be living in the light, the other may be living  in darkness. If the one who lives with the light is not strong they will be swayed in the darkness. It is easier not to obey, to follow the Lord, Pray, not attend church or tithe or participate in church related activities. Sure it is easier, but does it bring salvation? Happiness? Peace? Joy? It may bring momentary pleasure, but it will never bring lasting joy or salvation.   

The Lord specifically states, do not be unequally yoked. 

Do not marry an unbeliever!  

If you are married to an unbeliever or if you convert, are baptized and lead an obedient life – Pray for your spouse. Set the example, actions in this case speak much more than words. Keep praying for your spouse. Love your spouse, forgive your spouse, encourage your spouse to let you grow in your faith in the Lord.   

Remember “Happy Spouse Happy House.” 

Avoid the conflict, interfaith marriages does not lead you or your children to heaven!   

It is nearly impossible to carry on your faith in the Lord unencumbered by your spouse. They will come to despise the time you spend praying, reading and attending church. They will soon resent you and withdraw their love for you.  

When they do this you will feel unloved, abandoned, lonely, unwanted, isolated, in fear, confused, concerned, and unsure of yourself and the relationship. It is better to do what the Lord commands.   

Do not be unequally yoked, marry someone with your exact same belief; each of you must be equal in your desire to love and serve the Lord and one another.  

It is one thing to say you are a particular religion; it is another to practice your religion.  

The best marriage is between two people who love and serve the Lord and one another equally.   

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for this insight and wisdom. I love you Lord.  

Do you have feelings of insecurity in a marriage? 

Feelings of not being loved by your spouse?  

When the question whether or not you love them or they tell you they do not feel as though you love them, what are they really telling you?  

You do not love me in a manner which satisfies my need for lack or deficit of or void.   

When a person says I do not feel as though you love me, what they are attempting to say is you don’t love me so as to fulfill my need for love or you are loving me in a manner which does not satisfy me.  

They may have issues with insecurity, low self-esteem or self-worth or even self-respect and not be willing to accept that. In fact they may believe they have great self-esteem, respect etc. and the problem solely exists with you. You do not love me the way I want to feel or need to feel loved.   

First of all the Lord loves us all equally! 

We may not see that or even understand, we may be living in sin.   

Secondly we must first fully accept our self and love our self before we can start to receive love from others. If we don’t love our self, fully accept our self, feel the love the Lord has for us, no one will love us the way we want to be loved.   

Insecure – not adequately protected or guarded, unsafe. Unstable. Not self-confident.   

Confident – reliance or trust. A trusting relationship. A feeling of self-assurance.   

What do you say to someone when they question whether or not you love them? Do you tell them you love them? Will that satisfy their hunger or need? Probably not. 

Do you ask them how they would like to be loved? What would make them happy? What would satisfy their hunger to be loved? Probably not, they probably don’t know what would bring them happiness, joy and peace and therefore love or a feeling of being loved.  

I believe that when someone tells you this, it is a cry for help. Please, I am telling you I don’t feel loved by you anymore. I suggest getting down on your knees together and praying about those feelings, offering them up to the Lord. Your willingness to pray about it is a first step in setting the record straight. No amount of words will tell, someone you love them, they want to feel it, experience it, see some action behind your words. Women desire to be romanced. My actions will speak louder than my words. 

Tomorrows post will discuss the topic of doubt, which is the opposite of Faith.

Friends who pray together, stay together.


Friends, who pray together, stay together.
 
Please take a moment to relax your mind

and  humble your heart to focus on Christ.

Allow God to be the only  person on your

mind while you read this prayer. If we can

take the time to read long jokes, stories,

etc., we should give the same respect to

this prayer.

Dear  Lord,

I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a

forgiving God and an understanding Father. You have done

so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me

this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was

not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to

start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let

me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind

so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control

over. Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and

acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and

confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive your

mercy and forgiveness.

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus'

example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the

best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that

when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me

to do Your will.


Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep

me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may

have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who

are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are

misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know

You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing

it with others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you

that I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family

member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their

homes that they are out of debt and all their hopes, through

Christ Jesus, are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in

Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received

into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that

confesses them willingly!

This is my prayer.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
