The Bible is not a religious text.

The Bible is a history book that tells us where we come from, who we were, who we're supposed to be, and how to become that which God intended mankind to be from the beginning when we were created from the dust of the earth.

The Bible shows us that God wants a relationship with us, and through His interactions with those of the old testament and the new, we see what a relationship with God is supposed to be.

Jesus Christ is our teacher and our example of what God expects from us; who we are, and how we conduct ourselves around others, but especially in our relationship with Him.

Before Jesus came in the flesh, God anointed many who functioned in the gifts of the Spirit even though they couldn't yet be filled with the Spirit.

After Jesus, who had the fullness of the godhead bodily, began His earthly ministry, we see Him function in all of the fruits and gifts of the Spirit.

After His death on the cross for our sins, resurrection from the grave and ascension into heaven, we see the 120 in the upper room baptized in the Holy Ghost, after which they each go out and begin functioning in the fruits and gifts of the Spirit just as Jesus did.

This is what the church should look like. This is how the church should function. This is what the Bible teaches us.

It's time to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for. The signs of the times are all around us. If we are not the image and the likeness of Jesus Christ, functioning in the fruits and the gifts of the Spirit, we are not the church that He is returning for. We need to seek God to show us where we have fallen short so when He does return, we will be caught up to meet Him in the clouds.

This, the great taking up of the church, is the fullness of the gentiles coming in that the apostle Paul spoke about in Romans 11:25
After the great taking up of the church, only the children of Israel who have the seal of God upon them will be saved. Everyone else will be left to face the wrath of God because they rejected the only begotten Son of God, who is the Word of God in the flesh!

As Jesus Christ was the living, breathing, walking and talking physical embodiment of the Word of God when He walked this earth in the flesh, we are to be the same. This is why the scriptures teach us to walk in the Spirit and not after the flesh. (Romans 8:1/Galatians 5:16) This is what making our bodies a living sacrifice is all about. (Romans 12:1)

In order to be the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, and function in the fruits and gifts of the Spirit, we need to receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost, which is separate from the baptism of repentance in water. (Matthew 3:11/Luke 3:16)

Not having the fullness of the godhead bodily is not going to exclude one from meeting Jesus in the clouds. Having faith in Christ as the Savior of mankind and confessing as much we actually received a portion of the Spirit, which is what will quicken our mortal bodies so that we are changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye! Glory to God!

If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life, what are you waiting for? If you want to know the Joy and the Peace of God that passes all understanding, and to be set free of every bo***ge in your life, it's time.
If you have, but you have yet to receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost, it's time to receive the power from on high to overcome the sin nature.

It's time to become one with God!

The Word of God is not a religious text. It is a history book. It lives and breathes.
The stories told in the Word of God are not legends or myths. They happened to real people, who lived and breathed.
Many times the prophets in the old testament spoke of things that happened 100's or 1,000's of years after they passed away. Those things they spoke about came to pass, and there are many more prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled.

One of the greatest prophecies to be fulfilled is the great taking up of the church to meet Jesus Christ in the clouds. We have to make ourselves ready for His return. If we don't, we will be left to face the wrath of God upon those who refuse to accept all that the Word of God teaches us.
If you have yet to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, or if you have accepted Him but haven't surrendered all you are to follow Him, it's time to. It's time to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for.

If you don't already have a home church, or your church isn't a full gospel believing, Sola scriptora (scriptures alone) and Holy Ghost filled ministry like the saints in the book of Acts; walking in power and authority, functioning in the gifts of the Spirit, join us at Maranatha Chapel. It's time to learn how to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for. It's time to come alive, quickened by the Holy Ghost and allowing the Word of God to come alive in your heart, in your mind and in your soul.

There is no promise of salvation without the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a significant part of the gospel. Our salvation is contingent upon the resurrection. Our faith in Christ hinges upon Him being raised from the grave.
If He was not risen from the grave, then no one who has died in Christ are risen, and there is no heaven where we will one day see our loved ones who have passed away.
Jesus himself said that if we don't believe, we are damned. We have to believe all of the gospel message in order to be saved.

1 Corinthians
15.12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
15.13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
15.14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15.15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
15.16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
15.17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
15.18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

Mark
16.15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16.16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Final thought: If Jesus wasn't risen from the grave, then His death on the cross means absolutely nothing.

The Bible records that more than 500 witnesses saw Him alive following the crucifixion, and history confirms it. History also reports that the Romans were putting people to death for saying they saw Him alive.
Ask yourself this if you don't believe in the resurrection:
Why would more than 500 people say they saw Him alive following the crucifixion when they knew that they could be put to death for their witness?

There are two choices for everyone. The tree of life, or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The tree of life is the cross of Calvary that makes it possible for us to become one with God as we were always meant to be.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil leads to sin and death, which is separation from the presence of God.

Every one of us is in the valley of decision. Sad to say, but even those of us who call ourselves Christians sometimes partake of the second tree. When we partake of the second tree, in reality it is a rejection of the Word of God. If we don't sense the conviction of the Lord when we partake of the second tree, we are not one with God and are not really His children. It's like Jesus said, we confess Jesus with our mouths but our hearts are far from Him.

On the other hand, those who are becoming one with God will sense the conviction of the Spirit when we partake of the second tree. This is how we know we are His. If we repent and ask forgiveness, God's mercy and grace will cover us.

Do you ever feel convicted about things you do, or have done and not really understand why? If you do, and you haven't surrendered your heart and life to the Lord Jesus Christ, that conviction is God trying to draw you to repentance for your rejection of His only begotten Son, whose name in Revelation 19:13 is the Word of God.

Ask His forgiveness, accept Jesus Christ into your heart and life and ask for the indwelling of the Spirit of God to help you overcome the sin nature that every person was born with. If you do, you will be on the journey to becoming one with God, which is not complete until we meet Jesus Christ face to face.

What is Salvation?

The salvation of the Lord is about saving us from ourselves, or more accurately stated, our own selves. When mankind was created in the foundations of the world, we were created to be one with God. We were created with self will, only so God could see who would choose to be one with Him.

Self will is not sin, but when self will overrules the will and the Word of God it becomes unbelief, and unbelief in the Word of God is sin.

I've often asked myself “How does the blood of Jesus take away the sin of the world if sin remains in the world?”

Believing upon Jesus Christ and what He accomplished through His sacrifice of himself on the cross made it possible for us to become one with God. If we are made one with God, we become God willed. If we're God willed, we cannot sin.

I have to reiterate ”the sacrifice of himself“ because by laying down His life for the world, Jesus Christ was showing us that we are not our own. He accepted the will of the Father over His own life. We saw in the garden of Gethsemane that He pleaded with God for His life, but still surrendered to the will of the Father so that not all of mankind would have to die.

That's what God wants from each of us, a complete surrender of ourselves. He wants us to desire to please Him by turning from our own ways, and making His ways our own. He wants this to be our only desire, that we become one with Him. If we choose to become one with God, we can be led by the Spirit of God to make His will and His ways our own.

It's only by the blood of the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world that this was even possible. It was only possible through the sacrifice of himself that this became possible. This is why we are supposed to make our bodies a living sacrifice; the sacrifice of our own dreams and aspirations, the sacrifice of our own desires and wills. By making God's will our own we cannot sin through unbelief in the Word of God as Adam and Eve did in the foundations of the world.

By becoming one with God the law of sin and death is broken. Death in reality is actually a separation from the presence of God. Those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are spiritually stillborn. They are in essence the living dead. When they accept Jesus Christ into their hearts and lives they are made alive by the Spirit of God abiding upon them. They are Born Again, born of the Spirit of God.

Being born again is only the first step in becoming one with God. The next step in becoming one with God is receiving the baptism in the Holy Ghost (which is separate from water baptism for the remission of sins), because without the indwelling of the Spirit we don't have the power within ourselves to overcome the sin nature.

It's only those who have made their bodies a living sacrifice by choosing to become one with God that are going to be caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds when He returns for His church.

Are you one with God? Are you willing to lay down your life to become God willed instead of self willed? Are you ready to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for?

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and ask God for the indwelling of His Spirit while it is still called today, because today is the day of salvation. We're not guaranteed tomorrow and none of us knows the day or the hour of Jesus' return for the church, let alone our death. If we aren't one with God before we die, we will not make it into the Kingdom of God and all we will have to look forward to is the judgement of God and eternal separation from the presence of God in the lake of fire in outer darkness.

It's not God's will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and be saved from the wrath to come upon those who reject the Word of God. His arms are stretched out still, waiting to embrace any who desire to become what He intended for all of humanity from the foundations of the world… To be one with Him!

Many of you who have followed this page for a while are aware that I used to share my artwork on a semi-regular basis. If you are still following me, I'm sure you have noticed a shift in what I've been sharing.
For quite some time my thoughts and desires have gone in a different direction. My thoughts and desires are more heavenly now. While I still have a desire to do artwork from time to time, my desire for artwork has taken a backseat to sharing what the Lord has been teaching me about who He is and who I am supposed to be in Him. God has been drawing me closer to Him, and I have found my desire for artwork has shifted in a new direction, one that will glorify God. I'm waiting on God for inspiration in this area.
For now I've been following the leading of the Spirit in other avenues of this life. Growing deeper in the Spirit and in the ways of God, and working on the house He has blessed my wife and I with.
God is teaching everyone who follows my personal profile page, through what I'm learning in my walk with Him, how He desires us to become one with Him, and how He wants us to desire to become one with Him. We're all also learning what it means to become one with Him.
I have decided to move my ministry updates to this page for anyone in my friends list who wants to continue following what the Lord has been teaching me in my walk with Him. As well , if you don't have a home church, please consider visiting Maranatha Chapel
16980 Annesley Road, East Liverpool, Ohio 43920

Everyone who comes to services will be ministered to if they truly have an ear to hear what the Spirit says to them.

Have a blessed day in the Lord 🙏🙏🙏

Are you saved? Are you absolutely certain that you are at peace with God?

I can tell you from my own personal experience eleven years ago before I started going to Maranatha Chapel, that although I believed on some level, I wasn't really saved even though I believed in Jesus Christ.
Since I started walking with the Lord I've been learning what true salvation is. I still don't know or fully understand it, but I do have a much deeper understanding of salvation than I had all the years I thought I was saved.
My first indicator that I wasn't really saved when I started going to Maranatha Chapel in 2014 was that there was a war going on inside of me. The sin nature inside of me didn't want me to go, and the devil kept whispering in my ears that I didn't need church, but another part of me knew that I needed to be there.
I battled within myself for the first few months because I knew there were things and ways of this world that God was going to ask me to turn from, which a part of me didn't want to let go of. God had begun wooing me long before I met Nadene, and attempted to lead me away from some of those things that I wasn't ready to surrender. Because God continued to woo me after I started going, I resisted the urge to stop going. God didn't let me go, and I am eternally grateful!

Jesus said “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” Believing is only the start of the process of salvation, as I have also come to understand. The key words are “shall be” because there's more to being saved than just believing. The devils believe and they tremble. Believing won't save them from the fate God has for them. True salvation means that a change takes place in us.
I know this because Jesus also said “Except a man be born again, he shall not see the Kingdom of God.” I can tell you not only that I am born again, but also how I know that I am born again.
Unlike when I started going to Maranatha Chapel, I now have had a deep burning desire to be there every time the doors are open ever since the end of 2014. When I can't be there I miss being there, and I even feel a void inside for the next day or so because I didn't get to go.
Another way I know that I am born again is that I have an unquenchable hungering and thirsting not only for hearing and reading the Word of God as often as I have the chance to, but I also have a hungering and thirsting to walk after the righteousness of God.
Jesus describes being born again by saying ”Except a man be born of water and born of the Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” Having a desire to be filled with the righteousness of God is one way we can know if we are born of the Spirit of God. If we are not repulsed by the unrighteousness we see within ourselves, which we also see in those who are unsaved, then we are not born of the the Spirit of God. Wanting to always be hearing and reading the Word of God is one way to learn how to walk in the righteousness of God.
I can tell you that I know God has been working on me ever since before I even started going to Maranatha Chapel. Since I started walking with Him in 2014, He has continued to work on me to remake me into the image and likeness of His only begotten Son. This is what being saved means to me… being saved from myself, to become who God has always intended me to be from the moment I was created in my mother's womb.

If you believe that you are saved, but haven't experienced this, you need to consider the possibility that you have yet to be born again. The time is short. Jesus Christ is returning for His church. His church is born again, without spot and without wrinkle, having clean hands and a pure heart, unrebukable before God.

If you want to be caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds when he returns for His church, it's time to surrender to the Lord while it is still called today, because today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, and none of us knows how or when we will take our last breaths. We have to make ourselves right with God before that happens or we will not make it in.
If you are not absolutely certain that you are born again, and want to be assured that you will make it in, pray the following:

“God, I come to you a sinner and I ask Your forgiveness and mercy for the sins upon my soul. I thank You for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross that I could be saved. I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the grave to give me new life. Wash me, cleanse me and make me new in mind, heart, soul and spirit in the precious blood of Jesus and fill me with your Spirit that I can turn from my own ways to make Your righteousness my own. By faith I confess that I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. I confess that I am born again and that I am a child of God. I thank and praise You for my salvation, in Jesus name I pray, Amen!”

If we are the temple of God, then our hearts should be His throne

09/14/2025

Regardless of what you hear or read, there are 2 things that have to take place before the day of the Lord's return for His church. God spoke through the apostle Paul what will happen prior to the great taking up of the church.
If you dispute the Word of God in this, repent and ask His forgiveness and mercy...

God said in 2 Thessalonians
2.3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2.4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

1) A falling away from the church by those who call themselves Christians but cannot withstand the persecution that will be coming against all who confess Christ.

2) The man of sin, the son of perdition, who everyone refers to as the antichrist will be revealed.

Make no mistake, these events, beginning with the persecution of the church (all over the world), and the antichrist being revealed are the tribulation of the church, to see who can stand upon the Word of God and continue to confess Jesus Christ is the Lord of Glory!

Before Christ comes, it's going to be like it was in the days of the early church, when the apostles were threatened to not preach in the name of Jesus Christ.

We have to ask ourselves how strong is our faith in the Word of God, in all of the Word of God?

09/07/2025

The sin nature in essence is rejecting the Word of God by serving ourselves and the lusts and desires of the flesh rather than serving God by being what and who He always intended us to be from the beginning.

Lamentations 3:22

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.”

King James Version (KJV)

Consumed makes me think about being eaten up or devoured. It is written that the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.

How often do we find ourselves consumed by thoughts that grieve or torment us? Thoughts that we have are not always our own. Oftentimes, especially if it's something that's grieving or tormenting, is brought by the devil to make us doubt ourselves or even the promises of God.

I think about Jesus being tempted in the desert. Everything that the devil tempted Him with, Jesus had a rebuttal from the Word of God. Unlike Eve, in the garden of Eden, who allowed her natural senses and rational thought to rule her, Jesus held fast to what God said.

It is also written, submit to God, rebuke the devil and he will flee from you. How do we submit to God? By holding fast to whatever He has said. Jesus Christ is our example. He held fast to everything God said, rebuked the devil by quoting God's words, and the devil had to flee.

As the children of God, we don't have to be tormented. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be tormented. If we call ourselves Christians, we are supposed to follow Christ. We follow not only His teachings, but we also follow His example.

A Christian is a disciple of Jesus Christ. A disciple is a student. As a student of Jesus Christ, we are supposed to be students of the Word, because His name is called the Word of God. To be a student of the Word we should be studying the Word everyday so we can be armed to withstand all the temptations of the devil.

It's time to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for!
