If we walk in him, we shall be rooted in him; and the more firmly we are rooted in him the more closely we shall walk in him: Rooted and built up. Note: this point, that we cannot be built up in Christ, unless we be first rooted in Him.

That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity"Col 1: 26-27
2022-08-2713 minFill The Lamp"Serving is Not an Option"In reality, all believers are “ministers.” Our model is Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve. We find that in (Mark 10:45). Jesus equated service to God as service to others. Our unselfish service should be rendered through our spiritual gifts, which are given by God to the saints that they might minister to one another.

The Church is called to lift up “The King” to a lost and dying world. Yes, we are to edify and lift up one another in prayer and encouragement, but without using the talents, gifts and being the voice, that God has given us, in passionate outreach’s, to help in life-or-death situations, we are Dead as a church as well.

So here we are 2000 years later, and nothing has changed. The weeds are still in the Garden. Have you noticed? Weeds will become dominant if allowed.

You see, this church of Pergamos had not only opened its doors to all comers but got blind sided with false doctrines that had invaded the church and the church allowed it to happen. Neil Parks

My friends just this word Overcome indicates there is an obstacle, a difficulty, a mountain. Why are so many leaders and teachers avoiding this warfare preparation? We’re talking about reaching people for Christ and mankind’s Salvation. The armor of God is to be worn daily as this world Hates the Followers of Christ.

2022-05-2712 minFill The Lamp"The Cost to Follow"We need to intentionally help people not only learn the knowledge they need but also help them live out what they learn. We teach and instruct those we disciple so they can, in turn, disciple others. Our goal for sheepherding is spiritual maturity, which means that those we disciple are growing in their ability to Love God and others. They are learning to live out their calling to make other disciples and use the gifts God has given them within the Body of Christ.

If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me. 21 He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant to him [the pr...
2021-10-0216 minFill The LampWhat's the AntidoteNow the Antidote for your name and mine, as a true believer to be in the Book of Life is “Change”. We repent or Perish. Matt 3:8 “So produce fruit that is consistent with repentance [demonstrating new behavior that proves a change of heart, and a conscious decision to turn away from sin]” When we read scripture in Matt 24 and 25 it can’t get much clearer about the unprepared Church. Jesus is explaining to the disciples about the Kingdom of Heaven and how the people that profess his name MUST be prepared to meet Him.

2021-09-2444 minFill The Lamp“The Separation Part 2”Their excuses will not be regarded, their pleas will be of no avail, their pretensions to interest in Christ, and love to him, will be set aside; the sentence will remain irrevocable, and there will be no appeal from it, for there is no higher tribunal to bring the cause before; judgment having passed, the execution of it immediately follows: these goats, or formal professors, shall be obliged, whether they will or not, to depart from the presence of Christ;John Gill
2021-09-1815 minFill The Lamp"The Separation"You see, everybody will come before Christ’s tribunal; it doesn’t matter what age group of the world, from the beginning to the end of time; every place on planet earth, even from the remotest corners of the world, or the most obscure, and distant from each other; every nation, and all those nations of men that are made of one blood, who dwell on the entire face of the earth. The Bible says, “it’s appointed for man to die once and then judgement”. Every person will be on time for that appointmentNeil Pa...
2021-09-1118 minFill The Lamp"The Feast Dress Code"“For He recognizes and knows false and worthless men, And He sees wickedness, will He not consider it? Job 11:11"Nevertheless in the same way, these dreamers [who are dreaming that God will not punish them] . These men are hidden reefs [elements of great danger to others] in your love feasts when they feast together with you without fear, looking after [only] themselves; [they are like] clouds without water, swept along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted and lifeless; ". Jude 8, 12
2021-09-0414 minFill The LampLearn to Fear HimThe pathway to deeper joy and intimacy with God may be a surprising one: learn to fear him. As the prophet Isaiah says, “Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he will become a sanctuary” (Isaiah 8:13–14). Let him carry you as you wade deeper into the wild, overwhelming waves of what he has revealed to you.Desiring God.org
2021-08-2815 minFill The LampFear at the DoorstepThere is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love].1John 4:18
2021-08-2115 minFill The LampHis Gifts His Purpose Part 2“The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest. Take the thousand and give it to the one who risked the most. And get rid of this “play-it-safe” who won’t go out on a limb. Throw him out into utter darkness." Matt 25:26,27
2021-08-1415 minFill The LampHis Gifts His PurposeGod's Gifts and Talents are not merely the gifts of the natural knowledge and riches or, the gifts of nature and of providence; nor the external ministry of the word, Gospel ordinances, and opportunities of enjoying them; but ministerial gifts, that qualify men to be preachers of the Gospel, as appears from their name, "talents": they are His gifts for usefulness and service in the church.
2021-08-0715 minFill The LampExcellent or WorthlessMatt 25Jesus provides a picture of the coming reality of the kingdom of heaven. As they approach the time of His sacrifice, Jesus makes sure the disciples know that soon it will be too late; the door of opportunity will close, and for many the door will remain shut. He gives them another image of the same reality to bring the picture into focus. Once they were bridesmaids waiting for their bridegroom; now they are slaves waiting for their Master. This time they are given responsibilities that will be rewarded. The blessings...
2021-07-3113 minFill The Lamp"Conduits for Wisdom"The heart is the vessel, which it is our wisdom to get furnished; for, out of a good treasure there, good things must be brought; but if that root be rottenness, the blossom will be dust. 2. Grace is the oil which we must have in this vessel; in the tabernacle there was constant provision made of oil for the light, Exod. 35:14. Our light must shine before men in good works, but this cannot be, or not long, unless there be a fixed active...
2021-07-2416 minFill The Lamp"Are You Listening”36 “But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son [in His humanity], but the Father alone. 37 For the coming of the Son of Man (the Messiah) will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away; so will the coming of th...
2021-07-1713 minFill The LampThe Cost of The FoolishThen He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, an...
2021-07-1015 minFill The Lamp“Preeminent and REAL”“Obedience to the commandments is a trajectory of life — repenting of failures, confessing sins, and getting back on — has got to happen.” In other words, the central requirement — covenant-keeping through faith in Jesus — has got to be real. And obedience is the evidence that it’s real. It’s the sign that it’s real. It’s the mark that it’s real. It’s the fruit that says the tree is real.John Piper
2021-07-0315 minFill The Lamp"The Abuse of Grace""When we see the day approaching, we must address ourselves to our dying work with all seriousness, renewing our repentance for sin, our consent to the covenant, our farewells to the world; and our souls must be carried out toward God in suitable breathings. [2.] In the foolish virgins, it denotes a vain confidence, and conceit of the goodness of their state, and their readiness for another world. Note, Even counterfeit graces will serve a man to make a show of when he comes to die, as well as they have done all his...
2021-06-2613 minFill The Lamp“Personally Taught by God"But the unspiritual man simply cannot accept the matters which the Spirit deals with—they just don’t make sense to him, for, after all, you must be spiritual to see spiritual things. The spiritual man, on the other hand, has an insight into the meaning of everything, though his insight may baffle the man of the world. This is because the former is sharing in God’s wisdom, and ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ Incredible as it may sound, we who are spiritual have the very thoughts of Christ!
2021-06-1913 minFill The Lamp"The Difference is Obvious"The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; But arrogant fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline!
2021-06-1213 minFill The Lamp"The Inescapable Appointment" When you hear the word “Alert” what is your first response? Danger maybe, a possible threat, but at the very least a problem could be coming on the horizon. I’m convinced, that the age and time frame which we live in is totally misunderstood. The Bible teaches that.“Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a litt...
2021-06-0412 minFill The Lamp"It's a Pass or Fail Test"The 10 Virgins parable like most of the others, Jesus tells it to His disciples privately. Mat 24:3. This is private instruction, for those who follow Jesus or who think they are followers. Now keep in mind that Judas was among the 12 who heard this parable, and he was not a true believer. This parable instructs us to be READY when HE returns.
2021-05-2916 minFill The LampSleepwalking and DeceivedHanging out with people is a risky behavior, especially when we’re following the wrong people. There is a saying “that you become like who you hang out with”. Hang with Jesus, you become like Him. Hang with the World you become like the World! Unfortunately, it isn’t about the right people or the wrong people that you hang with. It’s about Crucifying Self and Worshiping the Most High Lord and Saviour King Jesus!
2021-05-2213 minFill The LampOne Full and One Empty!The Bible tells us that on the day Jesus Christ was Crucified, at Calvary, there were 2 thieves hanging with Him, one on each side. What this picture shows us is that there are two types of people in life. The Foolish and the Wise! They both knew of Jesus and about Him. The Foolish thief mocked Jesus, but the Wise thief humbled himself and surrendered to Jesus as Lord. One Lamp full of Oil and one lamp empty.
2021-05-1513 minFill The LampWarning, Warning Lamp Oil EmptyLamps back in the day, with Jesus was an important item to have. Lack of OIL implies negligence on the bearer’s part. It’s up to the bearer to make the decision as to when to fill the lamps. Navigating in the Dark is dangerous and you could loose your Life!
2021-05-0715 minFill The LampLook, Look the Bridegroom is Coming!!Most Weddings are very exciting wouldn’t you agree? The anticipation along with all the arrangements and preparations After all, these events mark one of, if not the most important, moment of our lives as we Vow to commit all that is within us to the one we are devoted to as the “Relationship” begins. There is one wedding that all mankind has been created to take part in . The Critical Must is, that all “LAMPS” are to be filled with OIL !!
2021-05-0116 minFill The Lamp“The Eye is the Lamp of Your Body”When you’re eye is clear (focused on God) your whole body also is full of light . But when it is bad (spiritually blind) your body is full of darkness (devoid of God’s word). LK 11:34Neil C Parks
2021-04-2615 minFill The LampPurified Lamp Oil Pt-2Old Covenant Lamp Oil, was all about hard work as , the "Beating of Olives" was the process that insured Clear and Pure Oil for the Lamps in the Temple to burn continuously. New Covenant Lamp Oil has been provided by the Grace of God. Whereas, Jesus Christ took the Scourging and Beating unto death as He becomes the Pure Oil needed for our Lamps to burn. As we are now the Temple He lives in! Neil C Parks
2021-04-1812 minFill The Lamp"Purified Lamp Oil" Part 1...."that He might present her to Himself a glorious church not having Spot or Wrinkle or any such thing, but that she would be Holy and without blemish." Eph 5: 27. ..."let Patience have it's perfect work, that you may be Perfect and complete, lacking nothing
2021-04-1016 minFill The LampThe Bread of Life that Fuels the Lamp."I am the Living Bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone eating this bread will live forever!" What a statement made by Jesus. It makes no sense, however, to the unbelieving person. Therefore, until the natural man is crucified it never will.
2021-04-0312 minFill The LampThe Consuming Fire of LightDarkness Hates Light. But unless Sin is exposed and confessed it cannot be forgiven. 1John 1:9-10; "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned , we make him a liar, and His word is not in us."
2021-03-2913 minFill The LampThe Lamp is Alive. #1A Lamp will not burn without "Power" and without Light we live in Darkness. But, we have a "Promise" that will never fail to "Provide" us with the Light we need forever. Jesus Christ is the Oil, the Light and the Life for Eternity.
