💥 Podcast: I am a companion of all that fear THEE (Psalm 119:63)

(This podcast was previously published on February 16, 2022) 

 

Several years ago, I came across a church woman who turned to God when there was a problem in her life.  She heard from God, and did what God said about the issue, and "overcame" the issue through what God told her.  Sometimes she would share with me what had happened after the problem was solved.

This is the type of church person with whom I want to have as a companion.

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

To each of the 7 churches in the book of Revelation, Jesus said the following:

* Revelation 2:7  to the church at Ephesus:  To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

* Revelation 2:11  to the church at Smyrna:  He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

* Revelation 2:17  to the church at Pergomas:  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

* Revelation 2:26-28  to the church at Thyatria:  And he that overcometh, and keepeth MY works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of MY Father.  And I will give him the morning star.

* Revelation 3:5  to the church at Sardis:  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

* Revelation 3:12 to the church at Philadelphia: Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of MY God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of MY God, and the name of the city of MY God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from MY God: and I will write upon him MY new name.

* Revelation 3:21  to the church of the Laodiceans: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with ME in MY throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in HIS throne.

To each church, Jesus says:  "To him that overcomes."

Each of us overcome by turning to God in prayer and by asking God to help us and guide us in what we should do in the situation. And then after we hear from God, we diligently do that which we hear to do. And we overcome by doing that Word which is given to us by God.

And this shows a fear of the Lord, and these are the ones with whom I choose to be a companion for they will turn to God and hear from God and follow God by HIS Word.

💥 Ephesians 3 (Reading through Bible)

 

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, ² If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

³ How that by revelation HE made known unto me the mystery;

(as I wrote afore in few words,⁴ Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

⁵ Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁶ That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel:

⁷ Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power.

⁸ Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

⁹ And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹¹ According to the eternal purpose which HE purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹² In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.

¹³ Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶ That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

²⁰ Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 

(the power of the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things, reminds us of that which Jesus says, guides us into all truth, shows us things to come.  John 14:26 & John 16:13)

²¹ Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

1.  Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Chorus:

Are you washed …
  in the blood,

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless? 
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


2.  Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

3.  When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white!
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for His presence bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

4.  Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:

Romans 5:5-9     the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

(We didn't shed our blood to pay for our sins but Jesus shed His blood for our sins ... without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.  Hebrews 9:22 ... we cannot hope to pay for our sins and our wrong actions by our good works ... only by the shed blood of Jesus are we cleansed)


*** 

The new covenant replaces the old covenant:

Hebrews 10:9-14   Then said HE, Lo, I come to do THY will, O God. HE taketh away the first (covenant), that HE may establish the second. 

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

And every priest (old testament) standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus), after HE had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 

From henceforth expecting till HIS enemies be made HIS footstool. 

For by one offering HE (Jesus) hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Testimony of Pam Padgett

When I was 14 years old a boy in my class at school was killed in a motorcycle accident.

For the first time, I realized that I could die.

I was terrified.

Somehow, I strongly knew that the various things I had learned to do in the Catholic church would not keep me from going to hell.

My only hope was God.

I began praying ... "I know there is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but I don't know which one to pray to.  So please get this to the right one."

I went on to ask that God would somehow save me.

I was changed from within, born again, and wanted to do what God wanted me to do and to please Him.  And I had such a strong desire to read the Bible. 

Not long after this, I realized there was something of God in me.

A few years later I read the following scripture and, for the first time, realized that it was the Holy Spirit in me:    

I Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  

***

Matthew 11:28-30   Jesus says ... Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.

Yoking yourself to Jesus for basic salvation is critical.  But it is also critical to yoke yourself to Jesus when you make plans after you are born again.  

For the plans we make could be plans of our own flesh or of other human beings or plans of the devil.  If such, dread will likely be the resulting fruit.  

For the yokes of man, and the yokes of the devil, and the yokes of our own flesh are hard, whereas the yoke of God is easy.  

Victorious Christians succeed in plans of God because they yoke themselves to plans of God through prayer and through being established by God in the plan.

💥 Podcast: God sent HIS word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on April 13, 2022) 

 

I've always loved this Psalm:

Psalm 107

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for HE is good: for HIS mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom HE hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And HE led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For HE satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

12 Therefore HE brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saved them out of their distresses.

14 HE brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For HE hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent HIS word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

💥 Ephesians 2 (Reading through Bible)

And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

² Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
³ Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us,⁵ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁶ And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
⁷ That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁸ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
¹² That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; ¹⁵ Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

¹⁶ And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: ¹⁷ And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

¹⁸ For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁹ Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²⁰ And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹ In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²² In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

💥 Podcast: They were defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions (Psalms 106)

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on April 14, 2022) 

 

Unless God authors the work, that work can be a work of iniquity though it seems to men like a good work.

Jesus says:

Matthew 7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

💥💥💥

When we do a work, we must be certain it is God who told us to do that thing.

Proverbs 14:12   There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Ask yourself this:  "How did God show me to do this?"

We can always pray, asking God if "this" is what HE wants us to do ... and to please stop us if we are going the wrong way.

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

💥💥💥

Psalm 106

39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against HIS people, insomuch that HE abhorred HIS own inheritance.

41 And HE gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 Many times did HE deliver them; but they provoked HIM with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless HE regarded their affliction, when HE heard their cry:

45 And HE remembered for them HIS covenant, and repented according to the multitude of HIS mercies.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

 

In explaining this parable Jesus said:

18 ... Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And HE said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

² Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

⁴ According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:

⁵ Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

⁶ To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;

⁸ Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

⁹ Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself:

¹⁰ That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:
¹¹ In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:

¹² That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.

¹³ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.

(We who have HIS Spirit have assurance that we are in God.)

¹⁵ Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
¹⁶ Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:

¹⁸ The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

¹⁹ And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
²⁰ Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
²¹ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

²² And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,
²³ Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.

💥 Podcast: When we wander out of our assignment

 

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on June 22, 2021) 

 

Each of us have assignments given by God.  As long as we continue in that which God has set for us to do, peace and calm continues.  But if we are drawn off our job, then comes disruption.

Do you know your assignment?  Do you know what God has set you here to do?

Pam Padgett has been given a spiritual gift of helps.

I Corinthians 14:27-28  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church (to care for the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Pam has an assignment from God to work in the church "helping" the church.

I have two ministry offices ordained by Jesus from heaven:  apostle & prophet (Ephesians 4:11)

I deal with church doctrine as an apostle, things like divorce/remarriage, doctrines of elders as shown by scriptures, doctrines of Bible concerning homosexuals/lesbians and any other question that surfaces today.

Concerning prophets:  Hosea 12:13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

Prophets are used by God to help HIS people to get out of traps and to help them to stay out of traps.

Prophets also prepare the way of the Lord.  Today we announce the returning of Jesus and help the church to remain in a position of readiness to be received when Jesus returns.

And I have a spiritual gift of exhortation to be able to urge the church by advice and warning concerning holding fast to the way of God shown in the scripture.

exhortation:  to urge earnestly by advice and warning

Hebrews 3:12-13  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 10:24-25   And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

God by HIS Holy Spirit shows us our assignments and teaches us how to do that assignment.

We do not copy other humans but rather we do that shown us by the Holy Spirit of God.

The work we do must be authored by God.

Jesus says:  Matthew 7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

💥 Scriptures:

 

2 Timothy 2:11-13  It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with HIM, we shall also live with HIM:

 

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with HIM: if we deny HIM, HE also will deny us:

 

13 If we believe not, yet HE abideth faithful: HE cannot deny HIMSELF.

💥 Galatians 6 (Reading through Bible)

 

 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

² Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

³ For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

⁴ But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

⁵ For every man shall bear his own burden.

⁶ Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

⁸ For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

⁹ And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

¹⁰ As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

¹¹ Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

¹² As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

¹³ For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

¹⁶ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

¹⁷ From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁸ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

💥 Podcast: Avoid the paths of evil and avoid those persons who draw you into a way opposite to God

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on June 22, 2021) 

 

It is important for each of us to know that assignment which God gives us as we live on this earth so we can go in HIS way set for us.  

There are people and things that would pull us off that path if we allowed them to do so.

Proverbs 4:14-18

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

19  The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Who is it that tempts you to evil?  Note those individuals and avoid them.  Remove yourselves from that temptation.  Make it easy on yourself!  Just keep away from such.

* Humans

* TV shows

* Surfing Internet

(avoid areas where you are drawn away from godliness)

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and abraideth not, and it shall be given him.

💥 Scriptures:

 

Proverbs 1:10  My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

 ***

 

Jeremiah 9:23-24  Thus saith The Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

 

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth ME, that I am The Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith The Lord.

 

***

Philippians 2:14-15  Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

 

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons (the children) of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

murmuring - grumbling; complaining in a bad -tempered way

disputing - arguing; striving over; discussing heatedly

 

 ***

 

Proverbs 3:31-32  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

 

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but HIS secret is with the righteous.

 

***

 

2 Timothy 2:3-4  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

entangle: involved in something hindering from which it is difficult to escape and which distracts from moving forward in the way of God

***

 

Psalm 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
