About this ebook
HORACE WINTER
THIS IS A CUSTOMARY WAY OF INTRODUCING MYSELF TO THE READERS, AND ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS. I SPENT ONE YEAR ON A DAIRY FARM, ALMOST 2 YEARS IN A MACHINE SHOP, I GOT MARRIED AND TWO MONTHS TO THE DAY I WAS DRAFTED . MY FATHER WAS A DENTIST. WHEN I GRADUATED DAD SAID HE WOULD SEND ME TO ANY COLLEGE I WANTED TO GO TO. I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT READY TO GO TO COLLEGE. SO I WENT TO THE FARM ! HE DID NOT LIKE BEING A DOCTOR SO HE BECAME A DENTIST. HIS FATHER WAS A DOCTOR, "GENERAL" PRACTICE. MY DAD'S MOTHER USED TO SING AT FUNCTIONS IN THE WHITEHOUSE. THEY ARE ALL FROM D.C. AS A CHILD WE TRAVELED FROM A TOWN NORTH OF PITTSBURGH, PA. BACK TO D.C. EVERY EASTER, WHILE HIS FAMILY WAS STILL LIVING. MY DAD WAS ONE OF SIX CHILDREN, HE WAS THE OLDEST. HIS FATHER TOLD HIM HE MUST BECOME A DOCTOR. DAD USED TO HITCH THE HORSE UP TO THE BUGGY AND ASSIST HIS FATHER IN MAKING HOUSE CALLS. THEY LIVED ON 10TH STREET, THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET AS FORD THEATRE, WHERE PRESIDENT LINCOLN WAS ASSASSINATED. AND BY THE WAY I THINK LINCOLN WAS WRONG IN CAUSING THE CIVIL WAR I WOULD NEVER HAVE ADVISED HIM TO DO IT. I WOULD HAVE TALKED HIM OUT OF IT. THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY, WITHOUT BLOODSHED. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE BEEN IN CONGRESS AT THAT TIME. DAD WAS BORN IN MAY 1870 AND PASSED IN JUNE 1953. MY MOTHER WAS BORN IN APRIL 1905 AND PASSED IN JANUARY 1990. I AM THE THIRD OF FIVE CHILDREN.

––––––––––––***********************––––––
THIS IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK BASED ON MY LIFE AND OBSERVATIONS. ALSO CALLED THE 3L’S/ LAW-LOVE-LIFE/ OR LLL
*(1)–––––-THIS IS NUMBER ONE––––––––––—
*LET ME SAY THIS IS FIRST, F-I-R-S-T, DO YOU GET IT? IF YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD, THEN DO WHAT YOU SAY. DO NOT ADD TO WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS, OTHERWISE WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. I DO NOT WANT THE LORD TO WASTE HIS TIME ON A PERSON WHO WILL ADD TO HIS WORD. HE SAID IT, BELIEVE IT, OR PUT THIS BOOK BACK ON THE SHELF.
––––––––—*********************–––––––––-
ASK THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO ABOUT RELIGIOUS MATTERS JUST TWO QUESTIONS? IF HE ANSWERS O-N-E OF THEM WRONG, SCRATCH HIM OFF AS A DEPENDABLE PERSON FOR THE BIBLE. HERE THEY ARE-
1. WHO HAS POWER OVER THE AIR?
2. WHEN I PRAY, DOES IT HAVE TO BE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL THAT HE WILL GIVE ME MY PETITION.
IF HE ANSWERS G-O-D TO NUMBER 1.-FORGET HIM AS AN ADVISOR.
2-GOD TELLS US HE HAS HEARD OUR PETITION.
JESUS HAS TOLD US TWICE HE WILL DO WHAT WE HAVE ASKED, I DO NOT THINK JOHN HAS ANY SAY IN THE MATTER. TO SAY IT MUST BE ACCORDING TO HIS W-I-L-L
IS ERRONEOUS. SO IF YOU ARE TOLD IT MUST BE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, FORGET THAT ADVISOR. I WILL TAKE THE WORDS OF JESUS OVER THE DISCIPLE JOHN EVERY TIME. REALLY, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION IN CLASS. THE WILL
TAKES TWO VERSES TO ANSWER. PRINTED LATER. NEXT TIME JOHN, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS OR LEAVE. YOU ALL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TELLING YOU, AND DO NOT CHANGE HIS WORD. LAW, LOVE, LIFE,. THE THREE LLL’S.
–––––––––******************––––––––––––
THIS IS WHAT I DO!
*WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING, SAY: GOOD MORNING LORD, HELP ME TO SERVE YOU TODAY. I ASK THESE THINGS IN YOUR SON’S NAME, MY LORD AND MY SAVIOUR, JESUS THE CHRIST,
AND THEN NAME THOSE YOU WANT TO PRAY FOR, COUPLES, OR INDIVIDUALS, AND ASK THESE THINGS IN YOUR SON’S NAME, MY LORD AND MY SAVIOUR, JESUS, THE CHRIST.
THEN, YOU WAIT FOR THE HEALING. DO IT EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS.
–––––––***********************––––––––––
––-I WILL USE THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE–––––
THE OTHERS HAVE TOO MANY MISTAKES/ PERSONAL THOUGHTS. I WANT EACH OF US, TO SEARCH HIS SOUL, AND LET GOD DIRECT YOUR THOUGHTS, AS TO WHAT HE IS SAYING TO YOU, WITH HIS WORD
.
IT IS NOT DIFFICULT, IF YOU WILL ALLOW HIM (THE SPIRIT
) TO GUIDE YOU. NOTE, HUMANS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE A SOUL. SPELLING MISTAKES OR GRAMMAR IN THE SCRIPTURES WILL NOT BE CORRECTED, I WILL QUOTE THEM THE WAY THEY ARE WRITTEN.
––––––––––—*********************–––––––––—
*(2)–––––––-WHY SHOULD I?––––––––––
IF, YOU DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE, THEN THIS BOOK MIGHT NOT INTEREST YOU BECAUSE IT IS PRIMARILY WRITTEN TO THOSE WHO DO CARE. WE HAVE THE SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS AMONG US, WHEN THEY HAVE NOT THE FAINTEST IDEA WHAT A CHRISTIAN IS, NOR DO THEY SEEM TO CARE. IT IS BEHOND THEIR COMPREHENSION, THEY PUT ON THE ACT, BUT FAIL MISERABLY. THEY WILL BE KNOWN BY THE 666 ON THEIR FOREHEADS OR RIGHT HAND. AND IF YOU ARE HERE TO SEE THAT, THEN IT WILL NOT MATTER ANYHOW. WHAT I AM SAYING IS, WE HAVE PRETENDERS AMONG US. THEY ACT THE PART, AND AS THE SAYING GOES, QUIT ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN, YOU WILL GIVE THE REST OF US CHRISTIANS A BAD NAME
. IN REALITY MOST CHRISTIANS ARE UNABLE TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN. MOST OF US DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO BE H-U-M-B-L-E. EVIDENTLY WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH. I THINK EACH OF US SHOULD EXAMINE OURSELVES AND PUT A GRADE ON IT DAILY. A PERCENTAGE IF YOU WILL, DO NOT CHEAT! I HAVE MET A HUMBLE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR, BECAUSE I WAS WEARING A KOREAN VETERAN CAP WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. A HUMBLE ARMY CHAPLAIN (RANK OF CAPTAIN) SOON TO BE A MAJOR, AND A PASTOR IN OHIO.
*AND SEVERAL EX-RELATIVES THAT I THINK A GREAT DEAL OF, AND STILL DO, FOR THOSE WHO ARE LEFT. BUT, SADLY, WE DO NOT COMMUNICATE.
A GENTLEMAN AND HIS WIFE, I WILL JUST CALL THEM GUYS; I USED TO ENJOY BIBLE STUDY AT THEIR HOME EVERY WEEK, BUT THEY HAVE MOVED AWAY; WONDERFUL BELIEVERS IN THE WORD, BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO MISSED THE MESSAGE ENTIRELY.
*EXAMPLE: WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL TAKES OVER 15K AS A SETTLEMENT, WHEN THAT ONE WAS LEAVING FOR OVER A YEAR ANYHOW AND PLANS WERE MADE LONG BEFORE THAT, BECAUSE? WAS TOLD HOW MUCH SHE WAS ENTITLED TO. SO AN ATTORNEY HAD BEEN CONSULTED. CLAIMING? WERE NEVER MARRIED, YES, PASTOR J–-
, IT JUST RUBS ONE THE WRONG WAY. BUT MADE SURE TO GET THE NAME ON THE HOUSE DEED HOPING? WOULD DEFAULT ON THE LOAN. BUT IT WAS CONVENIENT TO LIE, THE TRUTH WOULD HAVE HURT, LIKE A FINE OR PRISON.? WAS CONSTANTLY TOLD,? ARE NOT MARRIED.
IT IS GOOD FOR? TOO,? WAS TOLD. WHAT IS? 15K, REALLY? SOME ARE VERY CUNNING.? WAS TAKEN TO COURT AND FORCED TO GIVE 15K TO A PERSON WHO SAID? WERE MARRIED, TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND SIGNED THE PAPERS AS N-O-T MARRIED. APPARENTLY,? SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGING RENT.? UNDERSTAND IT IS ONE OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS, DO NOT STEAL!? AM A BELIEVER IN GODS’ JUSTICE, HE NEVER FAILS! SO CALLED CHRISTIANS WILL FAIL? GOD NEVER FAILS?. GOD WILL NOT TRICK YOU, HE
MEANS" WHAT HE SAYS. THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR WORD,? KNOW THE JUDGEMENT TIME WILL COME SOON. IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 YEARS NOW. THIS IS WHY WE BELIEVERS MUST HAVE PATIENCE, IT IS T-A-U-G-H-T. FIRST TIMOTHY 6:10 FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: WHICH WHILE SOME COVETED AFTER, THEY HAVE ERRED FROM THE FAITH, AND PIERCED THEMSELVES THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS.
–––––––––––********************––––––––—
*(3)–––––—PEACE OF MIND––––
AT THIS VERY MOMENT–YOUR CONCERN SHOULD PIVOT ON WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY.
DAILY CONCERNS ARE DEALT WITH PROMPTLY. IF YOU MAKE IT TO THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THAT DAY.
YOU SHOULD BE CONTENT WITH YOUR PROGRESS. IF YOU ARE NOT, AND YOU ARE GIVEN ANOTHER DAY, YOU SHOULD BE ANXIOUS TO CORRECT YOUR ACTIONS, DECISIONS.
