Matthew 25
2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
I always try to have zeal and fire for crucifying my flesh, have fire for something have some oil in this here lamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a awesome thing to be more then a overcomer in christ jesus! MORE then a overcomer that's a overcomer and then some! Overcoming all the lusts of my flesh ALL THEM.......and on top of that taking new land! I'm super gripped for this bible verse these days and the idea of being more then a overcomer not settling for just overcoming my flesh entirelly and my self will............no WAY MORE then a overcomer!............Matthew 17:20
"He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”" NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO christians of the earth we are supposed to be MORE THEN OVERCOMERS IN CHRIST JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm so gripped I have to put all this in caps) Romans 8:37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
The smith's friends often talked about the fat land, and um those like jews that like spied the promise land in the bible..........2 them or uh some number of them : ) didn't have faith that they could take the land big giants all in the land, 2 them did have faith............................what is impossible for me if I have faith............Matthew 17:20 "He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”" I've let the giants of the land in my life stop me to much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not one to think all christians like deserve or need to be or whatever slews of wealthy, but I think we all should be able to be more then conquerors in christ jesus ------------ that's more then just a conqueror! Right now I'm just focusing on like 2 things making happen in my life or like 3 --------------------- shhhhhhhhhhhhhh you better be believing those 3 things going to be happenin for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause I'm more MORE then a conqueror in christ jesus - that's a conqueror and then some snap snap snappity snap snap snap snap amen
Satans had to step aside and I be's getting on the hallelujah bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya there'll still be hardships or whatever, but geez some mountains are going to move for me! I also want to thank jesus tonight for this verse Romans 8:36 "As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." I also noted tonight that this verse is right above the "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" even being lead to the slaughter daily --------- killed all the day long that don't take away our praise!!!!!!!!!! WE are in ALL THESE THINGS "more than conquerors through him that love us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I praise god that I'm able everyday to be killed all the day long..........to follow jesus Hebrews 2:10 "In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered" jesus like us he suffered pry had to deal with misbehaving kids pry had to have patience then! many the sorts of instances where all us have to have patience in a day, via idiotic workers, etc. etc. jesus he for sure went through those things, he for sure suffered and was made "perfect through what he suffered"!!!!!!!!!!
I want to be much more zealous and on fire to follow jesus everyday, be made perfect through what I suffer.........which can mean forgiving, I've forgiven the smith's friends cult I still don't agree with what they are doing with their "buisinesses". I was hurt I'm still in pain a lot! But my future never was in a particular church, though I do go to a church, but my future/present is in jesus! I would't have it any other way!
I've learned to take everything as from the hand of god. It's all all all going to work for my good, all the situations I'm in everything ever thing I have to suffer in this life is going to work towards my salvation..........with my cross fully up follow jesus like this all things are new it's a new life! One where no thing is impossible for me! This jesus gig is good : )

Really interesting blog. We have family in B.C. that have "joined" the Smith's Friends and I was looking for information on the group. Hard to find - but your blog has been extremely enlightening. I'd like to hear more from you on exactly why you consider them a cult.
hmmmmmmmm ok I'll try and make a list of why I think the smith's friends is a cult..........
1. breaking up families
2. brainwashing techniques often used in their conferences and services
3. they have many construction buisinesses what is a church doing w/construction buisinesses it's fishy at the very least
4. their kids threw rocks at my child on so many occasions it got to where I stopped bringing her there and they didn't do anything about it..............7 them jumped me w/intent to harm me stopping short of my face while rental cooking and nobody even said they were sorry not only that it isn't expected of anyone there to say they are sorry, I've gotten 1 sorry for all the @#%#@ they did to me
5. they add to the bible, their extra literature is given way to much importance they have many contests where the kids have to memorize the booklets least once or twice a year............when you be's having your children memorize by heart the churches "literature" it's more then just some nice books you have in your churches library also notice they don't have mainstream literature in their libraries just the cults pieces
6. to this day most them ignore my e-mails so thouroughly have they shunned and shut me out of their cult..........if your a real christian I expect you to love me and reply to my e-mails their fruit is : p
7. they had macleay solutions buisiness behind my back and hid their macleay solutions trucks and this is how I found out about that buisiness of theirs - not cool!
That's all I got for the list right now : ) they destroyed my life in my opinion, I still have a hard time trusting like anybody anywhere, but if you feel the need to go to this cult uh.........good luck and don't ever say anything bad about them or they'll ice you out like they did me.
I have to edit #3......so I don't get sued by them (I don't have no money to be affording to be sued) the day salem fellowship hid the macleay solutions trucks in the macleay christian retreat sheds they said kare smith helped them buy macleay solutions. And when I saw on one their sattelight feeds them building massive ships and a whole hillside of houses I saw on the sattelight feed.........I don't know if they had a official construction buisiness w/this fundraising effort of theirs. And pivot point, the other buisiness of salem fellowship...........I know for a fact they do building sheds decks small end stuffs, I know this cause one meeting I was at, marianne said they build her deck or something like that and told the church if anyone else has some decks they needed build etc. that they would do it for a "very good price" and then she winked at us.
I guess at that point I should've been getting a good deal on a deck, but that's how much pain they caused me, even the idea of nearly free man power didn't appeal to me.
