PRAYER TIME10-7-20124:38 PM - 5:25 PM HOME STUDY BIBLE SCHOOL... Where is it? I am very frustrated because I can't find my notes that we have already written in preparation for our BIBLE SCHOOL. Several years ago The Lord started us off with THE VILLAGE CARPENTER a home improvement business that started sometime in 1972. We worked this business through out the rest of our life along with many other businesses. Also being involved in Church and Sunday School as a Teacher of The Gospel. As we continued on... About 2003 we were on the World Wide Web and at the advise of a former business man... We added the words World Wide to our business... THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES. When Father God called us into full time ministry of publishing Christian Books... We added the words to our ministry... THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES AND PUBLISHING HOUSE. Along with this, Father God spoke and said, "They wouldn't read My Book... The Holy Bible... But they will read these little books." He went on to instruct us as to how to build our, or should I say... His Web Site: THEVILLAGECARPENTER. INFO we also realized that there was a need to teach people about The Holy Bible. So we started putting together notes and other information to start organizing a Home Study Bible School. As we prayed about it... Father God impressed us with the fact, that the books we were publishing were Gospel Tools to be used for ministers to teach from along with The Holy Bible. God's Holy Word and our own Personal Testimony are the two most important tools to be using in this... Bible School. He told me today to call it: THE VILLAGE CARPENTER BIBLE SCHOOL. This is where the prayer time of today came into this picture. Do you like this picture that we are painting for you? You see... You are not reading this by accident... Somebody is concerned about your soul. During our prayer time today, 10-7-2012 at 4:38 PM I set my alarm to go off at 5:30 PM to get up for a radio broadcast today. I basically prayed, "... Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth..." from 1 Samuel 3:9. Again, this was at 4:38 PM. I tried to be quiet and say nothing. There are those who know me that would laugh at this because they think I can't keep my mouth shout True as it is, I am trying to be still before Father God and just listen... Today at 5:25 PM He spoke and said, "Charles, You build it... The Souls will come and study My Word " Amazed, I lay there in silence thinking about what I had just heard. Then at 5:30 PM my alarm went off and I had to get up for our Pastors translation of our guest, Sister Kenia from Cuba. Her and her husband are our Bishops in Cuba for The International Ministers Forum. She was being interviewed on WWSU FM Radio 106.9 streaming live on the World Wide Web. She speaks very little English and our Pastor David Swartz interpreted as she spoke. The program went on with music for an hour and a half or better. She was asked to preach a little for the radio audience, which she did with great power and authority. Obviously being moved by her message... The announcer asked her to pray for all that were listening. This Sister Kenia did with great power. Amen. Hallelujah It is no accident that you are reading this book right now. Someone is concerned about you and your eternal destiny. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have chosen to go to Heaven and those who have chosen to go to Hell. If you are of the latter... Praise God because you have been chosen of Almighty God to be reading this book right now and to have one last chance to change your mind and go to Heaven to be with Father God.

This being Christmas Day 2012 we heard a marvelous testimony and during the testimony... Jesus said, "Charles, Build me a book about what is happening in your life today. Let your testimony shine for the world to see what I your Lord has done with a man that many have forsaken. I Love You Charles... Continue to serve Me " All I could say was, "Thank You Lord Jesus... I am Yours Forever Amen Hallelujah " The dictionary says the word marvelous means... Causing great wonder, a surprise, extraordinary, improbable, incredible, excellent or splendid. Well, that's what this book is all about. These last 3 years have been all the above. In trying to figure out what Father God would do from day to day in my life next has been a total surprise We will try to use The Book Of Ephesians to explain what Jesus is doing in our life and ministry as servants of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the Saints which are in our ministry, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: we say... Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ... We love you all Our spiritual blessings have been so many that we have lost track of them all. We have had over 57 dreams that we have documented and will probably put into a new book. In 2009 we published a book called Dreams From God. In this book, all the dreams have come to pass except the last dream, which is a work in progress. You the reader of this book are a part of that finial dream We have had attacks many from the evil one but we know we have the victory in Jesus Our Savior and Deliverer. All our authors have had attacks and have had the victory in Jesus as well. We all are learning that In The Name Of Jesus Of Nazareth... We can rise about the devil, all unclean spirits and all evil spirits that try to stop what God is doing in us personally and as ministers of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior Amen When we were saved or born again by asking Jesus to be our Savior and Lord, we were delivered out of our sins of the past that were so easily besetting us or continually drawing us to sin again. The battle of the flesh is a constant evil force that tries to overcome us. We have only to trust Jesus to keep us pure before God's Heavenly throne. This we cannot do our selves. We must trust Jesus to daily keep us pure. But we must do our part to say NO This last 3 years we have learned to pray as never before. We have learned the importance of prayer is greater than we had ever imagined before. We have seen answers to prayer as never before. God Loves us so much that He is so concerned with how we live and how we respond to others... Especially when they hurt us or do unto us as should not be. We know we are to pray for others Would you believe that a simple prayer, "Lord Jesus, Let us get snowed in so we don't have to go out into the world of PROBLEMS and TRIALS" would actually be answered? Not only once... But twice in one week Amen Hallelujah Thank You Lord Jesus We know that we are one body, and one Spirit, even as we are called in one hope of our calling. We continue to publish Christian books to help other Christians to put their testimony into print, on kindle and other electronic readers. As for longsuffering... We have been alone for almost 3 years now and we have seen every wind of doctrine that other devils are trying to tell people as if it were truth. NO... We are to speak Truth In Love, for Truth Is In Jesus only. We have learned to put on the New Man, which after God we are created in Righteousness and True Holiness. We are not to give place to the devil, evil spirits or unclean spirits, but cast them out without even talking to them. The Holy Bible says, we are not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption. We must forgive them and one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven us We are to be followers of God, as His Dear Children. Amen Hallelu

Many will not admit that they do not have a problem with putting their flesh in subjection, to the Spirit of God. Many will not admit that their flesh is weak and disobedient at times. The truth is that every Christian must learn to put their flesh into subjection to Gods Spirit. One of the most important things a child of God must learn, is to tell their Flesh, to lay down, why, our fleshly thinking is weak, we all get our strength from God alone, this is becoming grounded and rooted in things that are spiritual. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. God wants to get across to the church of Jesus Christ, many things concerning, our flesh, our fleshly thinking, because it gets in the way at times, in our service and relationship with God. Many of Gods children do not even realize or know it. Yet this book will tell secrets, of the devils little bag of spiritual tricks. To expose Satan's habits that Christians need to learn to lay down, in your walk with God. Here is a small but a good little list of things that is about our flesh that truly does get in the way, with our walk with God and many of Gods children do not even realize it at all, for many in the body of Christ. These things even stagger many of Gods people and slow their walk down with God. These things even rob Gods children of many blessings and they are not even aware of it, because of spiritual blinders. -This flesh is disobedient. -It is stubborn. -It is in denial. -It is lazy. -It makes up excuses. These things will rob you of spiritual growth, of spiritual understanding, of spiritual blessings of many. They will also keep you from learning the truth of Gods will for your life and many things that God desires at many times, to discern or reveal unto you, as a hearer of his Spirit. Yet the flesh will make up every excuse, to say no, when Gods Spirit ask you to go and pray. This flesh is disobedient, stubborn, and lazy and makes up excuses, why you cannot go and pray, when the Holy Spirit, places it in your minds thoughts and in your spirit, to do so. This is why this teaching is so vital unto every Christians walk with God. You see it is up to us as a child of God to see the spiritual pattern that many Christians, truly do have and they are spiritually, weak, not gifted, blind to many spiritual truths, will not pray or read Gods word and many skip out of church and many are under nourished spiritually. Because of these spiritual truths, many have never grown to know, who the Holy Spirit is in their life and many have not learned his voice and the Holy Spirit cannot lead them into all truth, which his ministry does in a believer's life. These things are spiritually stunting the growth of Gods children. These things are stopping many from learning the truths that God, has always desired to reveal unto the bride of Jesus Christ, us his beloved. It is up to you personally to say to your flesh, lay down. What I'm really saying with this statement is that it is all up to you to become, obedient to the voice of God. When the Holy Spirit asks you to go and pray and to yield to your heavenly language of tongues and when God asks you to read his written word, and to give to someone or to a ministry, these are spiritual hints to obey Gods Spirit and his promptings, as he give them unto you. The Holy Spirit has a reason why that he is asking you to do these things. It is up to you to learn to become faithful and obedient to the voice and leading's of Gods Spirit, when he ministers things unto you. In your not realizing it, he is trying to teach you to become a hearer of his Spirit. He is trying to teach you to hear spiritually and to lead you into times of prayer and bible readings, for you to follow his promptings at all times, when he gives them unto you. You're in spiritual training and many miss it all together and do not even k

We all encounter people in our lives that are difficult to love. A lot of them we have to set limits on... Some we have to love them from a distance. Sometimes they can really rub us the wrong way and that could bring about hurt or harm to them as well as ourselves thru actions and even words spoken that can't be taken back but to give in to these things would not be of God. What is God's way? Love, on them... Pray for them... Turn that enemy into a friend. One of our great presidents, Lincoln once said, "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends." This also reflects Jesus teaching on the sermon on the mount. Not everybody will respond to this kind of action. You can plant a seed and pray for them and watch God work in their lives. Who knows... Your enemy could eventually become your friend Who in your life is hard to love? You know what is important to remember is the reason for what we do as followers of Jesus. If we forget that, then we become just like the disciples when they started trying to figure out who was more important. This started anger and division among them just like today. Some people think that what they do is more important than the next, but that is not so. We all are important to God in our own way. We serve in different areas because all of our paths and journeys are different. We all serve one God. Amen. Look at Jesus... He didn't come to be served. He came to serve and to give His life as a sacrifice for us all. Our goal is to share the Good News of God's love to everyone. So let's not get all upset when someone don't listen or even make fun of us for what we believe in as we follow the path that Jesus set for us of a loving service and sacrifice. It doesn't matter who is more important or who's not listening. Just remember... Jesus came to serve and save and that's the only reason for everything we do. Amen. When we are young we are trying to find our way in life and listening to all the wrong voices especially those that are around the same age as we are who haven't lived or experienced anything just like we haven't. But when parents or even grandparents try and tell us what they have went through and experienced, we shrug it off like... Yeah right. I am smarter than that In actuality, we aren't... We need to listen to our elders for they have been where we are going and have been tried and made it through those storms of life and their advice is to help us, not to make those same mistakes that they did. There are some adults that haven't learned their lessons yet With that being said... If you are searching and trying to find your way; whether you are young or old, find an older person that is seasoned in the Word of God A person who has been drinking deeply from Gods love and goodness all throughout their life. Sure, they have had their ups and downs as well. They have alot of wisdom to share with us to help us grow and flourish in our faith about how God has helped them make it thru all those tough spots in life. Amen. You know... We all have times of trouble in our lives, but its how we go through them that determines how long they last and the blessings and the breakthroughs that we receive. Amen. It's not the way God intended it, but when Adam fell into sin back in the garden, sin took hold of everything and the end results has been disorder and total dysfunction in all our lives for generations, but the reality of this is when Jesus came on the scene... He promised us peace and to be of good cheer; because He overcame the world this is our hope in a fallen world. Thru His death and resurrection, He continues to give us the victory no matter how much trouble or confusion we face in our lives. We can count on Jesus for peace in those times. Amen. You know... When we have pictures taken, they only show our outside appearance. But God sees what is within us The Village Carpenter Publishing House see GalacticOrdainedMinistries. Space

Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here in the presence of God to join together, this Man And this Woman In Holy Marriage... We find that marriage is instituted of God; that it is regulated by His Commandments; that it is blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ; and that it is to be held in honor among all men. Let us therefore reverently remember that God has established and sanctified marriage for the welfare and happiness of mankind when He, Jesus said, ... Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:4-6 This marriage service leaves us looking out along a road that leads on to endless joy. There will be hardships along that road, and disappointments. To travel it will require strong disciplines and intelligently worked out ways. Much that is ahead is uncertain, but some things can be depended on as absolutely sure. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 This bride and groom can set forth with high hearts because they have faith in each other, which is founded on their faith in God. They can face the future full of hope because they know what will bring their marriage its daily comforts and ultimate success. Side by side they can start down across the years held to each other by a love whose source is the heart of God. Into this Holy Estate, this Man and this Woman... You come now to be joined and thus to unite two hearts and lives, blending all interests, sympathies and hopes. We recall the words of Ruth when she said, ...whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God Ruth 1:16 I charge you both, as you stand in the presence of God, to remember that true love and loyalty alone will avail as the foundation of a happy home. If the solemn vows you are about to make be kept inviolate, and if you steadfastly endeavor to do the will of your Heavenly Father, your lives will be full of joy, and the home you are about to establish will abide in peace. No more human ties are more tender, and no other vows are more sacred than those you are about to assume. Sir... Will you take: this Woman To be your wedded wife and to live together after God's Ordinance in The Holy Estate of Matrimony; will you love, honor, and cherish her in sickness and in health, and be true and loyal to her, as long as you both shall live? Mam... Will you take: this Man To be your wedded husband and to live together after God's Ordinance in The Holy Estate of Matrimony; will you love, honor and cherish him in sickness and in health, and be true and loyal to him, as long as you both shall live? In The name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Let us pray... O Father, our hearts are filled with great happiness on this our wedding day. We come before you at the altar of love, pledging our lives and our hearts to one another. Grant that we may be ever true and loving, as living together in such a way as to never bring shame or heartbreak into our marriage. Temper our hearts with kindness and understanding and rid them of all pretense or jealousy. Help us to be sweetheart, helpmate, friend and guide, and together, may we meet the cares and problems of life more bravely. And as time takes away our youthful charm, may we find contentment in the greater joy of rich companionship. May our home truly be a place of love and harmony where your Holy Spirit is ever present. Bless our wedding day, we pray, and walk beside us, Father, through all our life together. In Thy Beloved Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
