FREE GIFT Presented By Oscar Smith

Our Father God Who Gives To Us Generously By Oscar Smith Are you at the end of your rope, weary, cast down, about to give up? I challenge you to answer the following questions with a simple yes or no: Does the Word of God promise to supply all your needs? Did Jesus say he would never leave you but would be with you to the end? Did he say he would keep you from falling and present you faultless before the Father’s throne? Did he promise you all the seed you need to spread the gospel? Is he more willing to give than you are to receive? Is Christ greater in you than he that is in the world? Are God’s thoughts toward you good thoughts? Is he a rewarder of those who diligently seek him? Is he preparing a place for you in glory? Is he coming in the clouds to gather his people home? Are you going with him when he comes? Your answer to all of these should be “Absolutely, yes!” Now, take inventory. Ask yourself, “Do I really believe God is faithful to his promises or do I waver in my trust? How well do I know God’s Word and his assurances?” Scripture clearly says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:5-7, NKJV). You can lay hold of God’s wisdom, all the wisdom needed to solve life’s problems, if you cast your very life and future on this promise and believe with no wavering. God gives wisdom liberally to all of his children.

Read the book of Ephesians like a letter because that’s what it is—a dynamic gospel letter, written to regular people.  When an instruction comes from the Bible, we, as believers, cannot put off onto God what He has relegated to us. II. Beginning in the fourth chapter, the Apostle Paul gives corrections to the church members in kindness and love.  God gives us instructions and we need to take corresponding actions.  “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts” (Ephesians 4:22). o You put off your former corrupt life, your way of doing things.  “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:23). o Be renewed in your mind. Enjoy correction. It’s done in love, and it’s for your good.  “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:25-27). o This is a vital key: The motive of your work must be love.  “Let him who stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth” (Ephesians 4:28). o Give to those who are in need. o Let your words and attitude be of praise to God; and edify and build up others, instead of expressing a bad attitude.

Optimistic Optimism

November 23, 2021 Oscar Smith, Hot Topics Boom

What is Optimism And Why It's Important If you are interested in becoming an optimist then this article is for you. Most people have heard of optimism but not everyone is clear on what it really is. Never believe that you are born an optimist or you are not. This is total nonsense. You can become an optimist at any time during your life despite your background. Here you will learn the definition of optimism, the traits of an optimist and the explanatory styles of an optimist and a pessimist. What is Optimism? Optimism is defined as the belief that good things are likely to happen in the future and that there is good in every situation. Optimism is based on the belief that there is good in people, while pessimism is based on the belief that people are generally bad. Optimism is a state of mind. It is possible for anyone to develop an optimistic mindset at any time. When you are an optimist, you will see any setback in your life as an opportunity for you to learn and grow as a person. Here are some benefits of being an optimist: • You will be a positive thinker which can help reduce stress • Optimistic people see the silver lining in every circumstance, leading them to better outcomes. • They are generally more upbeat and engaging, which can improve relationships with family and friends. Optimistic people generally perceive life as more fun. Optimists are confident in their abilities and plan ahead to create a bright future for themselves. They tend to be a lot happier than pessimistic people. Traits of an Optimist Maybe you think that you are already an optimist? It is important that you understand the common traits of an optimist so that you can develop the same traits. Here are some of the common traits that you need to develop: • A positive feeling about the future • An expectation that good things will happen • A belief that you will succeed in life • The belief that any challenges are an opportunity for learning and growth • The past can be a useful reference and that is all An optimistic does not let any issue, whether it is large or small, dent their enthusiasm for life. When an optimist sets goals, they expect to be faced with some tough challenges. These help the optimist move out of their comfort zone and grow as an individual. Explanatory Styles of an Optimist and Pessimist You can tell that a person is an optimist or a pessimist by two things: 1. The way they talk about events that have happened in their life 2. The way they write about these events An optimist is confident that all of the positive events they have experienced are down to their abilities and the actions that they took. The way that an optimist will describe a negative event is that it is just temporary and that they learned from it and moved on. Conversely, a pessimist will explain a positive event in their life as fortunate because they have no belief in their ability. For negative events, this is the norm for them and proof that the world is against them. Conclusion Optimism is all about having a positive outlook on life. An optimist will be confident about their future because they will have set goals and worked hard to achieve what they want. Optimists are confident in their own abilities and tend to be a lot happier than pessimists.

Be Thankful for the Healing Oils of the Bible!

There is Wonder Working Power Oils Oscar Smith, November 23, 2021 Healing is mentioned countless times in the Bible. We know that as a result of the curse of Adam and Eve, disease, sickness and illness are realities of our world. Anyone at any time can get sick. We also know that there are many things that can happen to our bodies that can cause us our bodies to break down. Sometimes, these things are so serious that they can disable us. A great assurance that we have as Christians is that our God has the power to fully heal us, to eradicate any ailment from our body according to His Will for us. There are a number of oils listed in the Bible that have healing power that can assist when we are in need of healing. People who lived during biblical times relied on these oils for their healing properties. Here are 6 oils of the Bible that we can turn to for healing power right now. Frankincense We commonly think of Frankincense as one of the gifts the wise men presented to Jesus following His birth mentioned in Matthew 2:11, “And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” While it is popularly mentioned in the Christmas story, it is also referenced in other parts of the Bible and is believed to promote skin cellular health. It also thought to build a healthy immune system. Frankincense is also mentioned in Exodus 30:34-36, “Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred. Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the Ark of the Covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.’” It is a natural healer and was used during biblical time to assist in the healing of almost any disease that people had at the time. It was also used during holy rituals as incense. People use frankincense today to shrink tumors, boost immunity and decrease inflammation. Myrrh This is another one of the gifts the wise men presented to baby Jesus. What you may not know is that is one of the most highly valued and desired oils. It is referenced as early as Genesis, “And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt” (Genesis 37:25). It was part of the daily regimen of people living during biblical times. Myrrh is now used as an antibacterial agent. Some even use it to control diabetes and a number of skin disorders including eczema and chapped skin. There are also people who use it to cure fungal infections like ringworm. Hyssop People living during biblical times relied on herbs like hyssop. It was prolific in the Middle East and was used in a variety of ways. During that period, it grew in Egypt , in the desert of Sinai and in Palestine but today, we have access to it outside of the Middle East. It was often used in ceremonial offerings and cleanings. You may remember it being mentioned as one of the ingredients in the sponge used to soak up the sour wine given to Jesus on the cross. It is referenced in Psalm 51:7, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” It is also referenced in Exodus 12:22, “Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.” While it is commonly associated with purification in Scripture, in today’s application it is used to open up circulation and stimulate creativity. Aloes (Sacred Sandalwood) Aloe is mentioned five times in Scripture. If you’re wondering why the plant is on the list, it’s important to know the biblical context. When aloe is mentioned in Scripture, it is referenced to it’s aromatic extract from a tree’s heartwood, used for healing and embalming. Nicodemus brought a hundred pounds of herbs including aloe to prepare Jesus for His burial (John 19:39). This showed that aloe was a preservative for the dead. It is also referenced in Psalms 45:8, “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.” Another reference is in Proverbs 7:17, “I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.” Some consider aloes or aloewood to be the same as sandalwood because they share the ingredient, A. agallocha which has powerful healing oil component. This was used as an incense and cosmetic oil. Aloewood is also recognized for its benefits as a stimulant and cardiac tonic. It also said to have many digestive benefits too. Cinnamon You,re probably wondering why cinnamon is on this list but what many people don’t know is that the Bible lists cinnamon as an anointing oil and an attractive sent. Cinnamon is related to a bark called cassia, a fragrant bark that is ground into powder. It is referenced several times in Scripture. One reference is Psalm 45:8 which says, “All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.” It is also referenced in Exodus 30:22-28: Then the Lord said to Moses, “‘Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant calamus, 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil. Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law, the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.’” While it is a common spice and used as a perfume, cinnamon is also used in sacred anointing oil. It can also be an incredible aid for illnesses like stomach ulcers. Balsam Fir Fir oils come from fir trees which have come to be the most popular type of Christmas tree. What you may not know is that they are recognized for their highly medicinal properties. Two references in Scripture include Isaiah 60:13,“The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the juniper, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place for my feet.” Another reference is 2 Samuel 6:5, “Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.” The wood from the fir tree was used during biblical times to make musical instruments but today has even more healing applications. The fir oil can be used as an anticoagulant. It is also used to fight arthritis, throat and sinus infections along with urinary tract infections. If you have any doubts that Christ has the power to heal, you can find assurance in the Bible. There is no record in the gospels of Jesus turning away anyone who came to Him for healing. We also know from Scripture that there was no sickness or disease that was too difficult for Him to heal. How amazing is that? While we know that these oils and their properties can do great things for our bodies, it’s important that we remember that only God, the Father has the power to heal us through the agency of the Holy Spirit and make us whole again.
