Overview of this Page
We offer many things such as humor, inspirational, scripture based poems, pages about spam, scams, and hoaxes. But mostly we offer Bible studies, and Bible related tools and materials such as King James Bible, Bible quiz, etc.
We are about one thing "Hearing from God" not just reading His word or hearing from a man/woman about God. But going from knowing of God to actually knowing God.
We would much prefer that you grow and hear directly from God, taught and guided by Him and Him alone than to be a member of our ministry or site.
You are welcome to take advantage of all we offer,
We count only on those God has put into their hearts to donate we do not want people just to donate blindly to us. But based on what God and not man says and this we believe in all areas and ways.
We teach that it is scriptural and necessary we all have a one on one relationship with God and how to achieve it in this life.
We have had many come to us and say they are hearing from God to discover no one ever taught them I John 4:1-3 where we are told to verify who it is we are hearing from so we are not misled by Satan. And yes you got it, a lot have been until they got here and learned the truth. Not the truth of man but of God and His word if this is what you seek you are at the right place. If you expect us to judge or condemn others for whatever reasons you feel we should you are at the wrong place because part of our basic teaching is that we are not to ever judge people and that we are always to forgive.
H.O.M.E. (Gods Gift For You.com) is the actual name of our ministry; Gods Gift For You.com is where we are located.
Even though we are always in the red our purpose is to bless others. What breaks my heart constantly is not being able to do more. I am referring to doing more for Pastors in India, Romania, Africa, etc with orphans, and outreach, more for those who visit us in need, and just more for everyone in general.
Since 1993 I have had one goal and one goal only. That is to help any and all that want to know the Lord. I want to help them overcome the roadblocks set by the world, the lies of the world.
I was involved with the Methodist Denomination (1970's) but I left due to the politics involved. I have worked with the Lutheran's then non- denominations, but what I found more and more was religion of the world, not spirituality. When I say the world I mean the world based on Satan's work in the world, new age, religion, etc. The world has gotten people to believe in spirituality as a ghostly manifestation not the true spirituality of God. God is a spirit and the only way to worship Him is in spirit and truth.
John 4
I have a desire to help all that want to learn how to really hear from God. Not just say they do because of an occasional feeling they have or because they have been told they do or think it is the right answer. I want to really help people learn how to shut up and listen to God and hear Him constantly.
The world, or now actually I should say Satan, started many thousands of years ago learning how to manipulate religion, mankind, and plant his lies in both. No matter whether or not you believe in Satan, he is real. Denying he exists does not make him any less real and the same is true for God. Long before any of your family ever was a thought, much less existed, Satan had already learned how to manipulate our imaginations and plant lies and deception into the world. He no longer has to work. He has billions of agents who do not even realize that they are working for him.
There are a few facts you need to know before I can go on:
Jesus is the only way to God.
John 14
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
We are to hear from God as well as we hear each other. Actually we are to hear from Him even better.
John 14
26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
As you just read above we are to be taught all things, not just the things of God, BUT ALL THINGS by God.
Some will not want to hear this next part but it is the truth. The fall of the church started in the first century.
1 Corinthians 1
11. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Instead of Paul, Apollos or Cephas in verse 12 enter the name of your church. This was written in the first century within a generation of Jesus' accession.
Then some 300 years later a Roman leader was saved and in his zealousness he made a law, a bad law but with good intentions. This law was that no one could have power or land without being of Christ. His intention was to get everyone saved but instead he made it possible for non-believers to be in power in the church to come. That was the forerunner to the dark ages, holy crusades, inquisition, etc.
Then in the late 16th century a monk of the Catholic Church translated two books of the New Testament that up until then had been forbidden. What he discovered was that the church and pope were not of Christ. He (Martin Luther) even wrote a letter to the pope calling him the antichrist.
As good as it could have been after this with a possibility of the truth coming out, there came what Paul dealt with in the first century, division and contentions. Within a hundred years of Luther's translating the two books many splinter groups formed over small differences. From there we got all the different denominations, basically over interpreting the word and not understanding it.
You see Satan wants us to interpret the word not to understand it. Here is how that happens, two people read a book and get two totally different ideas of its meaning. Then one day they meet the author of the book and learn they both were wrong and see the meaning and understand. That is why it is so important that we know the Lord well enough to get the understanding and know the truth. I do not mean the truth that a man has declared, but the real truth. The differences keep us divided and as long as we listen to mankind and interpret God's word we stay divided.
Matthew 12
25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Don't you see Satan knew what he was doing? He knows how to manipulate us and deceive us.
I have admired many leaders of religion and no one could have ever told me they were anything less. But now I know they are not always right. This is not because I am perfect or good and they are not, but because I know the truth and the truth does set you free.
Satan will use the lie to deceive us, like "Yes, Jesus saves. Yes you need to be saved, but not today. Enjoy today do it tomorrow". Satan will use the truth to deceive and to keep us his.
We are caught in the middle of a struggle over good and evil between God and Satan and we are the trophies for Satan and the children of God for whom He sent His only begotten Son to die.
2 Corinthians 5
5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
You are trapped until you learn that your thoughts are not your own. They are either forced on you by the world and Satan or you accept them when God offers. You will never know the truth until you know God and I mean really know Him.
Think of some of the lies and deceptions Satan is using through religion.
Matthew 3
11. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Acts 1
5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Yes, John baptized Jesus in water, but Jesus followed all the law, remember when He was. John baptized for repentance of sins. Why did Jesus have to die on the cross if we are saved by anything we can do especially being dunked in water? When He emerged from the water the dove (Holy Spirit) descended upon Him marking the beginning of a new Baptism.
Yes I believe we should be baptized with water; not for salvation but to show our faith.
One last thing research how many of the apostles were not baptized in water; you will be shocked.
1 John 4
1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
By the way, the only way you know you are hearing from God and not Satan is if you ask "Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh?" If you hear, "No" then you are listening to the wrong spirit.
I could go on and point out so much more like denominations that have idol worship, people praying to everyone except God, etc. The point is many have been deceived and you do not have to be one. If you do not believe me ask God; you can.
Lies Satan has to keep going to keep as many as he can:
There are more but I think you get the idea.
The point of this letter, study or what ever you want to call it is to clear up what I am here for and what this ministry is about. Yes we do more than just teach because the more time I spend with God, the more that my heart is for His children. Yes we run in the red all the time and you do not have to give, but imagine what we could do if more did give. How many could we reach with the truth? How many orphans could we feed? How many could we take with us to heaven and the next life when we leave this life?
It is your choice; do not believe and live your life as you have but ask yourself these questions. Do you have real peace the peace that does not end? Do you feel joy and love? Are you content? Does your life have meaning? If you answer no to any of these you do not just need God (which goes without saying) but you are screaming for God. God is waiting for you; you are not waiting for Him.
Revelation 3
20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
He is standing at the door; only you can let Him in. No, it is not easy. You have to overcome years, maybe decades of lies and deceit. But when He is in you and you are hearing from Him it is worth it.
One last question - has this ministry blessed you? If so, you can help us bless others with a donation of $1, $5 or more. Every little bit helps.
If I can get this through to visitors and they take it out to others and share then I feel I have completed what I am called to do.
I am all for every living being's on the earth knowing the Lord personally and to do so it must start with their knowing Jesus.
My vision beyond Gods Gift For You.com is to eventually open locations where people can come together and learn about the Lord, grow, and carry it out to others. Through this I hope to support Christian Orphanages in India, Africa and basically the 3rd world countries. I was once told a person does not care how much you know until they know how much you care. So I want to help children in the 3rd world countries and in turn they will have the chance to not just live, but to know the Lord. From them even more will come to know the Lord.
