Despair is a lack of hope, you can see a pinpoint of light yet you never seem to be able to get off the emotional rollercoaster.
Emotional Rollercoasters{ER’s} often are caused by some type of trauma, which can create feelings that make you feel like you are stuck and there is no way out. ER”s can affect anyone regardless of age or status in life.
Listed below are just a few of the causes of an Emotional Rollercoaster.
An unstable home
Effects of war
Martial problems
Bitterness
A lack of communication leads to distrust, which leads to anger. Anger becomes a friend if not dealt with in a timely manner. The more focused a person is on the trauma, the anger will increase and the emotions stay in a turmoil. Anger will lead to bitterness.
Back in 1968 just before I enlisted into Army, what seemed as horseplay in the old swimming hole back in Ky, almost got me drowned. I was repeatedly held underwater and started choking, and had it not been for a friend that intervened, I would have drowned.
I became very angry at the one that instigated the situation. I became consumed with the thought of revenge, always thinking and plotting on how to fulfill my anger, even to the point of sending word back home that when I got out of basic training, I didn’t want to see that individual. Not only did my anger effect me, it affected my brother, who had just returned from Vietnam.
Being raised in a Christian home, the. training that I had as a child, made me realize that I was only hurting myself with this bitterness.
Yes, I have experienced emotional rollercoaster’s through out the years. Choosing to be angry at the situation, but I finally applied the Word of God to the emotional rollercoaster’s.
1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you, {NLT}
Approximately 4 years ago, I was on a emotional rollercoaster that had turned my life upside down. Standing in a doorway I cried out to God, ” I can’t handle this any more. God I need a release. The answer came immediately, I felt the turmoil that I had been in for months leave my heart. What a relief.
I call it a blast from the past, when thoughts of that emotional rollercoaster comes back to my mind. I choose not to entertain those thought’s, but choose to apply the Word of God.
Whatever the Emotional Rollercoaster that you may be going through the Word of God has the solution.
I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. Psalm 120:1 {NLT}
The Old testament is more than just a history lesson as I have heard some say recently. From the reading and study of the Old Testament the modern day church can learn and if applied correctly , avoid many of the pitfalls that God allowed to bring correction to the Children of Israel.
A DEPARTURE FROM THE LIVING WATER occurred then and has occurred in this present age
God always has a remnant that remain true and faithful to the Prescribed Order of God.
Aware of the Times
Psalm 17:4 (KJV)
Concerning the works of men,
2. by the word of thy lips
3. I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
Concerning the works of men,
THE D U M P DEVIL USING MY PEOPLE
Since the early 60”s the modern day church has been in a moral and spiritual decline, although there has been spurts of revival in different parts of the country.
THE CHURCH WAS SILIENT DURING THE RIOT’S OF THE 60’S
THE CHURCH DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THE HIPPIES
Roe Vs Wade after the fact did a remnant wake up TO THE REALITY OF MURDER OF INNOCENCE LIVE’S THAT HAD NO VOICE
2 Timothy 3:1 (KJV)
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Friends, the darkest hour is just before dawn & the signs of the times are pointing to the breaking of Dawn. All hell is being turned against individuals
There is a vast Army inspired by Satan marching across America with the agenda of destroying the foundation that this country has been built upon.
Groups such as ANTIFA have become more violent in their protest, attacking people that dare to take a stand against them in speaking truth.
AS IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 50 PLUS YEARS THE MAJORITY OF THE CHURCH IS STILL ASLEEP. Either too indifferent or too lazy to get involved and not AWARE OF THE TIMES THAT IS FAST APPROACHING
Pr. 6
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
I had a dream in April 2018 ‘TO BE AWARE OF THE COUNTERFEIT’
in the dream there was a man that took real money & the copied it on a quality copier, thereby creating counterfeit money. that man’s desire was to deceive as many as possible.
Only a person that was trained could detect the fake from the real.
We must study the Word Of God.
IN PR 6:19 WE READ THAT
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Jude 1:4 (KJV)
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:11 (KJV)
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Cain— the type of of a religious man who believes in God & “religion” but after his own will Who rejects redemption by the shedding of blood.
the error of Balaam was that he loved the wages unrighteousness in coveting the gifts of Balak
Balaam perished because he in effect, caused the people of israel to sin, He revealed to Balak that if the men of Israel would commit whoredom with the women Balak that would bring sin in =to the camp
5. Whatever, therefore, hinders the truth from producing its sanctifying effect, grieves the Holy Spirit just in proportion to his desire to have it produce that effect.
12/4/1839 From the Oberlin Evangelist {Charles Finney } lectures {The Gospel Truth}
There are many heresies that are being taught in the modern church.
and this is a form of witchcraft!
The charismatic movement that began in the early 70’s started out on a path of preaching Biblical Doctrine.
then Man added to the scriptures and error entered in.
A well known ministry during that time period, while praying for you would say cough, well I don’t need to cough, cough anyway, slight cough,
Praise GOD YOU HAVE BEEN DELIVERED” { I EXPERIENCED THAT ONE}
They’re teaching that Christians could be possessed by demon’s> ERROR
CHRISTIANS CAN BE OPPESSED BUT NEVER [POSSESSED}
GOT SO BAD THAT At COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE CASTING DEMON’S OUT OF COKE MACHINE’S.
I SAW THAT WHILE ON CAMPUS
Jesus Died Spiritually
There are many Christian preachers today who teach that Jesus died spiritually. As defined by them, this concept is a false doctrine. They are saying that Jesus died on the cross then went to hell where he finished the atoning work. This is a denial of the sufficiency of the cross. Some say that Jesus also lost his divine nature and adopted the nature of Satan while in hell. This denies the deity of Christ. Others teach that Jesus had to be born again. This is a denial of the holiness of Christ’s nature. Whichever variation is adopted, it is still wrong. The truth is that Jesus finished the atoning work on the cross, never stopped being divine, did not suffer in hell, and did not need to be born again.
It is in error to interpret scripture not faithful to the text
Doctrine of Grace/ hyper-grace
What is hyper-grace?
Hyper-grace teaches an outsized theology of God’s grace that overshadows our need for confession of sin and repentance. Teachers of hyper-grace fail to note God’s other attributes of holiness and His call for followers to be righteous. They teach that there is no need to deal with our sin since God has forgiven all our past, present, and future sin
“America is engrossed in the worst sin in her history. Without repentance she faces an uncertain future.
“Hyper-Grace teaches, ‘Once Born Again, Christians need never again repent for sins because they are automatically forgiven by the Blood of Jesus the moment they are committed.’ This is the most Bible-illiterate, dangerous message we could accept in this crucial hour. Christians must strongly reject it.
“God’s Word is clear. His Grace is offered only through continual human repentance. Therefore, without continuing repentance there is no continuing Grace. When human repentance ceases, God’s Grace becomes unavailable.
“Hyper-Grace teaching may be sincere, but it is sincerely wrong. It is a very real threat to God’s future provision and protection for America and the nations of the world who lean so heavily upon her.
“Christians are to embrace, love and encourage all people. But Christians are not to embrace, love and encourage all doctrine – particularly the false doctrine which I refer to as Hyper-Grace.” Pastor John Hamel

Grave sucking
The notion of ‘grave sucking’ or ‘mantle grabbing’ has become popular among believers in the hyper-charismatic circle. Such concept has been readily advocated by some of the better-known preachers, The purpose of ‘grave-sucking’ is for the believers to visit grave sites of specially gifted but dead ministers so as to ‘suck residue spiritual anointing’, especially the gifts of healing or prophesying, from these dead people .
It is not proper to interpret Scripture in any manner that is not faithful to the text. {“CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS & RESEARCH MINISTRY “}
SINCE GOD DID NOT SPARE ISRAEL FOR THEIR SINS , GOD’S BELOVED COUNTRY & PEOPLE HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE CORRECT THE SINS OF THOSE GRAFTED INTO THE VINE!
2. by the word of thy lips
20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Jude 1:3 (KJV)
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude had intentions of writing about the common SALVATION that the early christian’s had experienced, but false teachers had crept into the church with the outward expression of light but their teaching lead to the denying of both the Father & the Son.
, they refused to live by the Word of God & fabricated their own religion.
Jeremiah 2:11-13 (KJV)
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
People perish for a lack of knowledge:
IN THE O.T. SPRING RAINS WERE HELD BECAUSE OF SIN OF THE NATION
I BELIEVE ALL THAT INCREASE WEATHER WISE,FIRES, VOLCANO’S,FLOODS , EARTHQUAKES THE WORLD OVER GOD IS SENDING A WARNING” WAKE UP, EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE FAITH, IT’S TIME TO DO AN OIL CHECK IN YOUR LAMPS.
THE WORD BELOW WAS GIVEN BY my mother REV M.E. TAYLOR
MY PEOPLE MUST REMEMBER WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN, & WHERE THEY ARE GOING.
THERE IS A “SPACE”, BETWEEN AND THAT CAN CAUSE THEM ANXIETY AND FEAR, AND UNBELIEF.THIS SPIRIT CAN CAUSE MY PEOPLE TO FORGET THEIR GOAL.
THIS “SPACE” IS CALLED “LIFE” , IN IT’S EVERY FORM
IN THAT “SPACE” CALLED LIFE; ONE WHO HAS BEEN REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS, HAS ONE WHO ALWAYS WALKS WITH, IN SUNSHINE AND IN RAIN. JESUS, AND ALL HIS NAME MEANS.
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS A GUARD, TO KEEP HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, AND ALL THAT HIS WORD PROMISES.
DIGESTING GOD”S WORD GIVES FAITH TO GO THROUGH EVERY VALLEY AND EVERY PART OF THAT SPACE. WITH VICTORY, NOT OF FEAR, BUT OF PEACE.GOD’S PEACE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THE FAITH GOD GIVES.
THIS FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND THIS HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
WE MUST EVER REMEMBER THAT THE FAITH GOD GIVES ALWAYS COMES THROUGH THE CHANNEL OF HIS WORD.
THE FEAR OF MAN, AND THE FEAR OF GOD, HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP ONE WITH THE OTHER!
“ YOU THAT FEAR THE LORD, TRUST IN THE LORD: “
HE IS THEIR HELP AND THEIR SHIELD” PS 115:11
ONLY CHILDREN ARE AFRAID OF SHADOWS! ADULTS EXPLAIN THAT A “SHADOW” CANNOT HARM ANYONE…
JUST THEN, THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH!
NOT A SHADOW ANYWHERE!
JESUS, AS LORD, IS CALLED “THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. {MAL. 4:2, PS. 94:11 “FOR THE LORD GOD IS A SUN AND A SHIELD:
THE LORD WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY.
NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITH HOLD FROM THEM THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY.
O, LORD OF HOST, BLESSED {HAPPY, REJOICING} IS THE MAN THAT TRUSTS IN YOU”!
THIS WONDERFUL SAVIOR WILL NOT DESERT US AT ANY PART OF OUR LIVES
DRY TIMES WILL COME,
BUT HE IS THE LIVING WATER

,THE DARKEST HOUR IS JUST BEFORE DAWN
1 Thessalonians 5:1-12 (KJV)
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first
3. I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
God does not want to lose those that he has redeemed by the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross, through false doctrine
It is mine & your responsibility to be aware of the times that we are in
Now is the time to become Men of War fit for battle, as found in
1 Chronicles 12:1
As those men separated themselves unto David , we must choose to separate ourselves unto God. Get into rank, marching forward to defeat the enemy
: April 24/2018 I awoke out of a sound slept @ 3:45 am with the thought that all Christians are in spiritual warfare that is intensifying on a daily basis.
If we are out of shape spiritually, we must get battle ready .
these men knew how to engage the enemy & were well trained in the instruments of war
during the falling away of Israel. in their turning away from God,Did the prophets think & say there is no hope for Israel? what does the evidence say? Jeremiah preached for 40 years yet He saw no change among the people, yet He had hope that the people would hear & then obey the Word of God. Evidence shows that they continued in rebellion. We as modern-day preacher’s & teachers recognize the spirit that is in the world foretold through the scriptures.
a spiritual warfare is raging. Liberal’s, ANTIFA, are against the things of God, While conservatives are for the principals go God, though many serve God in name only
Satan has infiltrated the church, It is time foe Christians to recognize the enemy, His tactics & to be alert and become engaged in this spiritual warfare,
We as modern day preachers& teachers recognize the Spirit that is in the world , many say that there is no hope for America it’s done as a nation and in the natural eye it appears that way, America as a nation is divided, 50% of America has turned their back on God, 50% profess Christianity in one form or another, truth be known though only a remnant is truly following the Prescribed Order of God, which is found in the Word of God
Apathy & Lethargy must be brought under subjection by the Holy Spirit
Luke 11:23 (NLT2)
23 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
Most people don’t want to talk politics, but consider this.
does the candidate stand for the principals of God, which our county has been founded upon!
Or, are they for abortion, are they for taking away our rights of freedom of religion,
Are you aware of the candidates and their positions when it pertains to the things of God
Proverbs 22:3 (NLT2)
3 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
—
31 the prophets give false prophecies, and the priests rule with an iron hand. Worse yet, my people like it that way! But what will you do when the end comes?
On 6/20/16 at aprox 8 am as I was studying on the Paths of life reading the notes on Ps 17:5 I felt inspired by Holy Spirit to write The Christian Pledge of Allegiance
Christians Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to The Word of God, that was inspired by the Holy Spirit
That I partake daily of The Living Water that brings health and nourishment for my soul
To which enables me to continue walking in the paths of righteousness by the
Light of The Word of God
Which shows me The Path of Life
The Word of God by which We Stand is Visible with Liberty and Justice for All!
Several years ago,I was in Mammoth Caves with my mother. The guide to illustrate how dark it was deep in the cave turned out the lights. So dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your eye’s. Some one struck a match and the entire room lite up.
Lamps come in all shapes & sizes, some are very ornate or some look like the little railroad lamp we had as kid’s.. A thought came to me the other day that it is time to check how much oil I have in my lamp.
Is my flame flickering for the Lord? Or is it burning bright?
