Minister L. Thabet

Minister Lisa Thabet was born to William and Margie Borden in Athens, Tennessee (a small community in the Eastern Tennessee). Her parents moved to Clarksville, Tennessee in 1969. She is the 3rd eldest of 7 siblings and the proud mother of 2 sons, Philip and Bryan Perry. Minister Lisa Thabet is not a newcomer to the ministry. She has been spreading the Gospel in the Kentucky and Tennessee prisons and jails, nursing homes and surrounding communities for over 15 years. She has been an integral part of several Praise and Worship teams. In 2000, she was part of the recording of the “Timeless” CD. Minister Lisa Thabet participates and supports various outreach ministries in the community by evangelizing to the lost at any cost. Minister Lisa Thabet finds comfort in the following: “At my first answer, no man stood with me, but all men forsook me; I pray God it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:16-18

Please understand by no means do I present my work as UN biblical nor produced in deception all events real and scriptural are true and honest and only authoritive on the intrinsic topics and relevant questions in this writing in this world there are many voices and we must hear the true voice of God himself Jesus Christ.

I’ am only setting the stage for spiritual awareness and understanding only, and I do so with fear and trembling. I am not a great scholar, and I do not cite other scholars. The references used are viable references. Nor do I present a legalist point of view but a Born Again perspective of the Truth and what I have been witness to over the years in all honor of Jesus Christ his truth.

I will However; reference various Scriptures, plus mention a few items from the early The Old Testament Prophets—and documented truth from the Holy Bible and other Lextual aides from other Truths by using various connotations of reference to this truth as Christ himself laid it out to me because I assume that only my knowledge is only under the wisdom of God and only authoritative through his word, this writing will be concise and heart and eye opening.

Furthermore, I will make no attempt to harmonize the various Gospel accounts in chronological order. But Rather, I will focus on harmonizing of the narratives in depicting the character of Jesus the man, to make Him more real and his word Alive.

I give Honor to my Sons Bryan Christopher and Jonathan Phillip

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

All things are possible for God because his middle name is possible and he makes all things possible to those who believe but nothing comes before its appointed time due to the fact that for everything there is a season and a time. (Rom 8:7) informs us that if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus dwells in you then it is the Spirit that quickens your mortal bodies by his Spirit (Rom8:11) to know the truth when you read it or hear it has a quicking effect on own natural flesh in the form of goose bumps, or the hairs on our arms and neck raise. Jesus tells us he is The Good Shepherd and that his sheep hear his voice and another they will not hear (John 10:10-15) read the words that he said for they come right out of the bible: The thief does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and may have it abundantly. (Vs 11) I am the Good Shepherd! The Good Shepherd lays down His life on behalf of the sheep. (Vs 12)But the hireling, not even being a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and forsakes the sheep and flees. And the wolf seizes them, and scatters the sheep. (Vs 13)But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and there is not a care to him concerning the sheep. (Vs 14) I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine and I am known by the ones that are Mine (Vs 15)Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

If we live and move and have our being in him we should be able to hear him and being able to hear the real deal verses the fake there are many voices gone out into the world but there is only one voice that we will hearken to above all of the rest and we as Believers should know his voice and answer the call he puts out for our being in Christ Jesus makes it possible to hear and receive from God our complete existence dwells in him for him and his purpose I am reminded of Moses while in the wilderness he was given a cloud by day to direct them and fire by night to protect them from the raving wolves by night which provided them with protection and guidance through out the night as they traveled. Jesus is the LIGHT of the world in which we live in and it is the same LIGHT that should be in us if we are in him it should be a part of us who must live in a world that is full of darkness, but a lot of the times people who profess him as Lord deny the fact that we must assimilate into Him by his word of life.

I have heard many times we all sin, and fall short of the Glory of God, why is it that we fall more than we stand I am so curious to know when were going to stop falling and start walking in what he said to walk in, instead most end up crawling; this race is not for the swiftest but for it for endurance and the duration of this race can last for years or a day because no man knows when his appointed time is to meet the Lord the Apostle Paul said I have fought the Good fight of faith with patience and endurance but my coarse is done. We all have a destiny and purpose in God and it is not to merely survive from day to day.

I am not saying you will not stumble but you should not fall when he makes a way of escape for us in any temptation brought by those who are used of Satan’s devices we are so warned that we are not ignorant of those devices it bewilders me about pre meditated sin whereas people plan sinful acts and carry them out thinking they are justified by the deed because some one hurt them or called them out of their name and retaliate without even considering God and then presume God will accept there mere behavior as I am only human not even realizing that what they have done causes them their initial relationship with Christ to be ineffective to were they have to begin fresh in God and face the same temptation or act again until they put it under the subjection of the word God which is Jesus(Heb 10-26-27) for if we sin willfully after that which we have received the knowledge of truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but there is a fearful looking for judgment and those who do things are looking for the judgment of God because they expect to be punished even though he made the way for them to call upon him they still carry the deed out because of pride some refuse to humble themselves and say Lord I messed up, I am weak, I can’t do this without you please God help me! Instead they put it on the back burner thinking it will go away but it want and they allow themselves to be taken captive by the one they have been set free from who operates in outer darkness known as principalities and powers and rulers of wickedness in high places.

Faith is more than just as word faith requires cooperation on our part and turning and walking away in another direction so we may continue to walk by faith in him, however some do not and suffer the consequences, but those who do acknowledge their mistake will be received into the arms of a loving father once again and it is he who gives us the power to become sons and daughters making us therefore the righteousness of God in Christ with Old things past away and all things becoming new again. The Holy Spirit has every one in mind and every age in view the world only operates under self love and the world says spare thyself, who cares if he or she dies the dislike for Jesus and the cross is apparent in this world, prayer has been taken out schools, monuments inscribed in God We Trust etched out of the Government building and laws made to where we are not to speak of Christ in public places which could be a school, a business or a state local government some have been fired from jobs by standing up for what is right, by saying Jesus and others have been expelled from schools all because of holding prayer meetings in open public places but yet we have foreigners and agnostic people who use everything except the name of Jesus Christ who gain positions in authority that rule over us and fight us as while we blindly stand by and allow it to happen when we know what they do is wrong and allow it to happen.

If we were in Old Testament days we would of fought against the enemies who defile the armies of God David did and if he had to die he was willing to but he made the decree today I will have your head to the one they choose to fight him and Goliath was huge according to scripture but great was his fall. God gave David courage to fight and declared it against a strong enemy but he had purposed in his heart if he died then it was at the Lords will and that settled it and sealed his fate but it was not Gods will for him to die but have victory over his enemy and he did because he carried the anointing of God because Samuel anointed him in the name of the Lord and we have one greater than Samuel Jesus Christ who anoints us to destroy the enemy that comes up against us but not through violence as one may think but by love, praying for those enemies that despitefully use us and say all manner of evil against us falsely we a believers should expect persecution if we are doing what we are called to do (Mark 13 9-13, Luke 2112-17) But then we should expect Gods favor to be on us also by acknowledging him he said he would acknowledge us before the father and the angels of God (Luke 12:8-10) But I say to you, Everyone who may confess Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God. (Vs 9) But he that denies me before man shall be denied before the angels of God. (Vs 10) And everyone who shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven Him; but the ones blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

Chapter 2

KNOWING THE TRUTH

For if you know the truth the truth will make you free not the illusion of truth masked with veils but the plain truth which is true freedom, we have had wars where people themselves fought to obtain our freedom for a better way of life for their children and their children’s children to live in a place of safety and contentment, whereas even this country itself was built on nothing less, and we all have had ancestors that fought in great wars in times past and we even have now sons and daughters fighting and dying today to make the world we live in a better place but we have one battle that
