'Agape Love Ministries' never asks for donations, nor does any site linked to our site do so. So if you are ever asked for donations using 'Agape Love Ministries' as a source, you can be sure they are NOT telling you the Truth. Be careful brothers and sisters in 'Christ', there are many out there 'in the world' who are wolves in sheeps clothing using 'Christs' people as easy touches. Nevertheless occassionally Good, Godly Causes and Needs arise and that is a judgement for the believer ALONE, and a great blessing to the giver as well as to the reciever, always be guided by prayer and common sense, a gift given mankind by a Loving Holy God and always check the sources if atall possible. 'The angel of darkness often appears as an angel of light.' a conman/woman never seems like they are what they are, they always come prepared and plausable ... and the more they get away with it, the more they do it and so rob Gods people of the Joy of doing Gods bidding and not satans. So be ever vigilant for God does not tell us to be gullible fools ... rather He tells us to be 'Loving and Generous when and if we can' with the added warning in Matthew.10:16. in Jesus' own words "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." Jesus is Lord and He will guide you in ALL ways ... remember it is not a sin to test the 'Word' of God for the Word of God can indeed be tested. For it is the Truth, but not all who quote it are in the truth ... even the demons of hell can qoute scripture and they indeed know the truth of it, that is why they fear it so. Be Blessed Be Generous but Be Careful in whom and what you tithe your love offerings to.

*******LET ME SEE YOU LORD*******

Not things you perform
Not bright shiny packages
Not things that adorn
Let me see you Lord
In wonder I sing
Power and majesty
All Praise to my King
Let me see you Lord
In large things and small
In life as I journey
You won't let me fall
As I stubbornly flounder
Through daily to do's
Without thought or humility
To request help from You
Who is constantly with me
If I acknowledge or not
You are faithfully present
To author my thoughts
Of Your spirit within me
Which desires to please
My omnipotent Father
I bow down on my knees
To have fellowship with You
As I offer my praise
And commune with my Father
The Ancient of Days
You delight in my presence
You desire my heart
You are saddened each morning
As I thoughtlessly start
Without seeking Your guidance
And the favor You yearn
To give of so freely
In Your bosom it burns
You are gentle and patient
As You sadly observe
My self centered attempt
To dispense with Your word
As I walk out the door
Once again I neglect
To commune with my Father
To take time to reflect
How I want to see You Lord
Nothing else takes Your place
I am useless and futile
Save Your presence and grace.



****IMMANUEL 'GOD WITH US'****


Turn your burdens over to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will never let the righteous person stumble.
Psalm.55:22.

Do not let Mercy and Truth leave you.... Then you will find Favor and much Success in the sight of God and humanity.
Proverbs.3:3-4.

~DOES THE MOST HIGH HAVE KNOWLEDGE?~

Psalm.73.

Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.
They are free from the burdens common to man;
they are not plagued by human ills.
Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.
From their callous hearts comes iniquity ;
the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.
They scoff, and speak with malice;
in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.
They say, "How can God know?
Does the Most High have knowledge?"

This is what the wicked are like-
always carefree, they increase in wealth.
Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure;
in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
All day long I have been plagued;
I have been punished every morning.
If I had said, "I will speak thus,"
I would have betrayed your children.
When I tried to understand all this,
it was oppressive to me till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.

Surely you place them on slippery ground;
you cast them down to ruin.
How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!
As a dream when one awakes,
so when you arise, O Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.
When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.

Our faith is what wins the victory over the world. Who wins the victory over the world? Isn't it the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1.John.5:4-5.

Christ has freed us so that we may enjoy the Benefits of Freedom. Therefore, be Firm in this Freedom, and don't become slaves again.
Galatians.5:1.

Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in God...
Psalm.42:5.

Righteous people cry out. The LORD hears and rescues them from all their troubles.
Psalm.34:17.

I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.

I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you, `Don't be afraid; I will Help you.'

Psalm.147:3.

Nahum.1:7.

If God is for us, who can be against us? God didn't spare his own Son but handed him over to death for all of us. So he will also give us everything along with him.
Romans 8:31.

<>< <>< 'Agape Love' ><> ><>

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.
1.Corinthians.13.

'SIMPLY A CHRISTIAN'


Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
1.John.3:13-24.

~SEEDS OF KINDNESS~

Scatter seeds of kindness
everywhere you go;
Scatter bits of courtesy
watch them grow and grow.
Gather buds of friendship;
Keep them till full-blown;
You will find more happiness
than you have ever known.

We must also Consider How! ... to Encourage one another to Show Love and to Do Good Things.
Hebrews.10:24.

'THE COST OF WAR'

'PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS'

<>< <>< Spiritual Sight ><> ><>


It was Jesus who opened the eyes of His disciples and it will be Jesus who will open your eyes too.
Matthew 8:23: 25. Talks to us about Jesus taking a nap. We don’t read much about Jesus sleeping on the job. But this Nap was special. The nap He was taking was a demonstration of Faith not in what Jesus could do, but more as to who He was and more to the point where HE WAS. They launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. When we launch out, when we do anything in our lives Jesus should be on board. He should and is with us. If we are comfortable with the fact Jesus is in our lives and guiding our direction then we should have a calm assurance that we are going and doing what is right. This is the promise He gives us 'If you abide in me and I abide in you. You may ask what you want and it will be done.' Here comes the storm, the wind the waves and the rain that reading goes on the say and they were filling with water and were in jeopardy. I have often wondered about Jesus, He was sleeping on a mat in the back of the boat. Did not He know it was storming and was He not getting wet, because He was in the open. He was sleeping right on through the whole thing. Jesus was not disappointed in the fact that they woke Him out of a sound sleep or told Him they were perishing He was wanting them to see so much more. Jesus Christ creator of the sea, the wind, and the rain was in the boat. It was impossible for the boat to sink. The one who created the Universe was asleep in the back of the boat resting from a day of healing and teaching and was going to soon face down ten thousand demons buried in one man. It was not the faith they had that they could command the wind and the rain to stop, NO! it was Fellows I’m here in the boat with you, Even if I am asleep in the boat, it does not matter because I AM IN THE BOAT!!. So remember He is in your heart and as long as He is there you will Not sink.
{ An Important Aside } ... We Always Give Thanks to God, when a Good Word is shared with us, and being christians who long to share the Word of God, we like to share it along to others for Gods Glory and that others may benefit from it. However we are at a loss to understand why people 'who propound' to share the Word of God by so-called gifts they have been given by God, ... 'Gods Word' cannot be copyrighted it is Freely to be 'Given' and hopefully by 'His' Grace to be freely accepted. It is not for profit, or for personal gain, or esteem, that God gives Gifts to men/women, 'It is for the Edification of the 'Body of Christ Jesus' not for self gain or for the purpose of 'Un-edification'
So we Thank All people who share with us and we hope that you feel free to share whatever we may have to offer, except two 'love gifts' which in respect we will not ... For it is for the Glory of God and for the 'Bringing in of the Harvest' of Lost souls' and that 'Not of Ourselves' Should that offend some, whom it obviously does, then we say, 'Sorry' for it is not meant to offend, but out of respect.
The 'Good News' is Truly Good News and should not be held back in anyway Whatsoever ***AND WHAT BETTER NEWS IN ALL THE EARTH THAN 'THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF' LOVES YOU"***

'MISPLACED FAITH : by Terri Hall'


~I DREAMT I STOOD AT CALVARY~

I dreamt I stood at Calvary
And saw three crosses there;
On left and right were nailed two thieves,
The cross between was bare.
A soldier took his sword in hand,
Then pointed it at me:
He said "You there, prepare to die.
That cross is meant for thee."
I quickly fell upon my knees,
For mercy did I cry;
As strong hands grabbed my hands and feet,
I shouted "Why, oh why?"
And then a voice both soft and sweet
Was heard above the din;
"Let this one go, take me instead.
I'll pay his price for sin."

With his body torn and bleeding
And thornmarks round his head;
With bruises where they beat him,
He stepped into my stead.
Then Jesus laid upon the cross,
His life did freely give,
That all my sins be washed away
And through his death, I'd live.
He stretched his arms out open wide,
No struggle did he make.
As they prepared to nail him there
His life they meant to take.
They drove the spikes in hands and feet,
And slammed the cross in place.
His bones were shaken out of joint,
And blood ran down his face.
"Forgive them, Father," was his cry,
They know not what they do
God must have wept when he realized
He sacrificed his only Son for you.

When I awoke, the night had passed
And Sunshine flooded in;
I cried "Dear Lord, forgive me please,
And cleanse me of my sin.
For you sent down your only son,
A ransom for the lost:
And I see you included me,
When counting out the cost.
Yes I dreamt I stood at Calvary
And saw those crosses three;
Yet no longer do I need to fear
Knowing Jesus died for me.

'BIBLE GATEWAY'


Keep on Loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Hebrews.13:1-2.

Love is the most important gift in life.
Your life echoes emptiness without it.
With it, your life vibrates meaning and warmth.
The Love of Jesus will shine through even in hardship.

You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments that stand out, are moments when you have really lived - the moments when you have done things in the Spirit of Love.

If you have it, you don't need to have anything else.
And if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

Treasure the Love of God within you above everything else.
It will survive long after your wealth and good health have vanished.
The way is not in the world.
The way is in your heart.

Life in Abundance comes only through Great Love.
And there is no Greater Love than the Love of God who dwells in the heart of All true believers.

For God is Love and the Kingdom of heaven is within you.

Let me leave you with a 'Golden Thought ... but also a prayer' before I eventually finish off this page ... Even Our Lord Jesus 'Wept' over what He saw around Him ... because He 'Loved' that which He 'Wept' over. He 'Loves Us' and that 'Love' that Is, and Was, and Will Forever Be in 'Him' for those who Belong to 'Him' is our Hope and our Joy to Know that God is 'Love' So weep with Joy that you are 'His' child and that He will never leave you nor forsake you, whatever you may be feeling or whatever situation or whatever hurt surrounds you ... 'right now' ... at this very moment. 'He' is your Saviour, He will Never let you down, Never, Ever, Ever Forget This For Now and For Always 'He' is with you and 'Loves' you even into Eternity ... and Nothing ... no devil, no demon, no Power nor any principality can ever seperate you from 'His' Love that now Lives in You because you Believe in 'Him' Jesus Christ Son of the Living God, Lord of Love, Mercy, and Forgiveness. Halleluljah!!!!!!!
Rejoice and be Glad for it is a Gift, the Gift of All Gifts, it is the Gift of 'Agape Love' 'Dwelling in You' from Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son of God.
GodBless each and Every One of you to know This Priceless Truth 'Right Now' in Jesus' Precious name. We ask this for All regardless of race, creed, colour or religion. God is the God of 'All' (For there is Only One God) Whether you feel it or not, He Loves you All, so receive it simply as a child with the Joy of a child and know that Peace that Trancends All earthly understanding in simple childlike Faith which 'Pleases' God. For God is Love. Amen and Amen.

Whoever Is a 'Believer in Christ the Lord' Is Now a 'New Creation' the 'Old Way' has Gone 'A New Way' of living has Come Into Existence!'

'HELPFUL CHRISTIAN FREEBIES'
<>< <>< <>< FAITH IS ><> ><> ><>

Faith is Simply a Gift
the Ability to Believe in what it seems you cannot
Prove, Imagine or Dream the Purpose of for One Another without the fruit of Hope or Love within.

Yet From Faith Comes Hope and Hope is a Way out of Depression,
Despair and Gloom, out from that Hopeless Hopelessness
of Nothingness, the Not and Never knowing of Love or Anything worth knowing.

From Hope Comes your Will to try for dreams of dreams you dared not dream,
for a future that leads to an Eternity never known nor seen in this world.
A place of Bliss and Blessings yet to be tasted in the midst of the Very Glory of Love Itself.

Love is the fruit of that Hope that brings the Willingness to share of yourselves with others,
yet without that Love of Hope in Faith to be born again in them, they lie still trapped in that deceit of No Hope and
that lie of Nothingness, where only death and darkness lurks, hiding the very Truth itself.

Faith, Hope, and Love All Gifts of God to Share and to be Used to Bless the Lost to dare to Hope that Very Faith itself exists.
Don't ever let the flames of Hope fade into Nothingness for lack of Grace to Hope, but fan the flames of Faith with All your Might
to light and life bringing forth a springtime of Love and Light ... an Etenity in Agape Love Itself.

God is that Hope for God is Love and in Him is that Faith, that Hope and that Life that leads to Everlasting Eternal Joy yet Untold
and yet to be tasted.
