Installing Casing Trim

Installing casing trim around door openings and window frames can be a bit more difficult if you are looking for a professional looking finish. Certain techniques need to be employed to be sure the trim is cut to the exact form fitting precision, and using the right tools are necessary to ensure the job can be done quickly and smoothly.

Casing trim must be installed around all door openings first, before any baseboard trim can be laid down. The baseboard will then butt up against the casing for a nice looking finish. All casing should be ideally painted or stained finished before the install, as painting it afterwards can be more tedious.

Having the proper tools are an important part of a clean and efficient install. The typical measuring tape and pencil are your staple tools, along with a hammer and nail set. Have the appropriate length finishing nails for the thickness of your trim. For a standard sized casing trim, have 1 1/2" nails and 1" finishing nails. Having an electric chop saw, or miter saw is important, along with a small step ladder. It will usually take many cuts to achieve the perfect fit and a hand saw and mitering block will be more difficult to use efficiently. Finally, if your casing will have a painted finish, you have the luxury of using a paintable caulking to hide all seams and cracks for the ultimate clean install. Have a caulking gun and the necessary amount of caulking in a color that best matches your wall or casing color.

For a door trim casing install, start with the two vertical trim pieces first. Obviously there is a gap between the edge of the drywall and the finished door frame. Ideally we would like to cover this leaving the trim about 3/16" back from the inside edge of the finished door frame.

Now, assuming your door frame angles are approximately 90 degrees, cut the top of the casing piece at a 45 degree angle. Keep the shorter side on the inside and the longer side of the cut on the outside, of course. Don't forget to allow for the 3/16" spacing for the top board. The best way to do this is to stand the trim piece up on end, in place, and mark with a sharp pencil, on the inside side of the trim, a little tick at the appropriate height. Make your miter cut at a 45, using this pencil tick as a guide; it's important to be precise here. There's nothing wrong with cutting it a bit "long" to start, test fit it, and then working your way down bit by bit until the proper length is reached.

Nail the board to use two sizes of nails. Use nails 1 ½ "nails on the outside of the trim behind the jack stud, and get one made," nails on the inside trim, nail to the door frame finished. Use the set all the nails from 1 "to 2" apart, or as required, and counter sink the nails. Do the same with the trim piece on the other side of the door.

This is just the top piece between the two fitHips and 45 degrees followed. I like to cut one end of the top molding 45 and a test suitable for this purpose. It 'a good helper to keep the other end of the game up as they control the shape. If you have another theme for your help, we can firmly on a chair, standing or even a sturdy table. Make sure that the trim horizontally in line with the upper door frame, approximately 3.16 "on the lips. Accedes to the angled end only fit a smooth, flat seamline. Otherwise, you must make a cut with a slightly different angle, to compensate.

Replace pages with your help and mark the cut obliquely to the other side. The top piece overlap the side pieces, so you will be able to cut in line-ups and mark the top and bottom for the exact angle. Set the saw for the angle of the case measured not expect 45 degrees, use the angle measured. Make the cut about ¼ too long, and then check the mounting angle, with a helperhold the other end up again. If the angle was correct, whittle cut bit by bit, until the trim piece fits snugly and perfectly between the two side casings and nail it home. The same technique can be used for window trim, except the bottom piece will be like the top piece.

If there were any imperfections or crack lines exposed, use the caulking to runs beads around all sides of the casing, and smooth out with a finger. Only do this for painted trim, the wood finish trim may look awful if you try to caulk the cracks. You can also fill the angle join cracks with the caulking, as well as the nail holes, or just use wood filler. You can then repaint or touch up paint the casing, or if the casing color was a close match, just leave it. Good luck!!

The path to God

Our only hope for eternity in Christ is "the Way, the Truth and the Life" (Jn 14:6). So is listening to our main business in life and then to follow the secret message of God 'our business to strive, to learn the secret language of God (4:1-20 Ma, Lu 8:9 - 15), and to find the study to follow and be stable, mature and true worker for Christ (II Tim. 2:15). And 'the way to God, that life is the greatest adventure.

secret language of God is spiritual, in fact,not literally, as many claim today. It 's only with spiritual discernment and worship (I Cor. 02:14, Jo. 4:22-24) that the door of the kingdom of heaven is open to us. The company until earthly kingdom, but it is a pleasure in cheap imitation of the heavenly kingdom of Satan. This is really the Antichrist, and it devastated. John told us all about this in the Jo. 4.1-6, 5:01, 5:00 and II Jo. 7-10. According to these anti-Christian scriptures, or a false prophet "whonot of God "(I Jo. 4.6). It 'also to all that Jesus Christ is not meant to come in the flesh (II Jo. 7). This is the biblical antichrist, that far from any artificial idea.

Some people today want us to believe that non-Jewish believers in Israel will one day be a pact with the Antichrist, which is a non-Jewish world. But they never worry about the obvious fact of all, namely the address, the unbelieving Jews were anti-Christian nature of thetheir unbelief. So you Antichrist makes a covenant with the Antichrist. How stupid! For Jews in Israel still reject Christ and strive to take East Jerusalem Palestinians from so you can have the Entire Temple Mount, to put Their new temple there (Already built off-site), and then begin the sacrifice of cows bred new cow. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, as to reverse the cross of Christ (cf. Phil 3:18). And this is what evangelical Christians believe modernSupport and guidance, namely the enemies of the cross (Acts 13:10, James 4:4). Although they claim Christ to support their work in full, whose primary objective is the restoration of the temple and the sacrifice of animals.

In the same way modern Christians do Satan and his Antichrist to support activities on the basis of unproven theories that differ so radically from the real gospel. Although they have no idea what they actually do, support and fundingwith American tax dollars, what they actually do is cut off from any contact with God alive You realize that nothing more special, knowing that the true gospel accompanied and those Christians who follow him. This is a very serious shortage of them. Why waste the many blessings that accompany this awareness of God in their lives. The push by some as irrelevant, but that compromise more rich blessings of GodServing a perverted gospel instead of the real Gospel of Christ (Galatians 1:7-8). In addition to these many blessings and unparalleled service that lacks true to Christ. Why can not serve Christ and Antichrist, not the light and darkness together (cf. II Cor. 6:14-15). You pay a high price in time and eternity, because they refuse to hear the truth. Nowhere in Scripture are all God's people said, something for all the supportReason. Only those who do not believe God to take liberties that, in this injustice (see Ro 1:18, 2:08, II Thessalonians 2:10-12). You have no idea who disappeared this higher place, where the Christian must be. Perhaps they think they would rather stay here, the place of spiritual darkness, as their deficits spiritual recognize and repent.

Sun Do not miss it that spiritual progress in this more spiritual place where Godis to present knowledge. In this place of awareness and the victory of his glory shines in the darkness of our natural being. He stays there with us every moment of every day. Begin to understand that God is really coming from us, and is now very much with us, and we with him. This is the miraculous wonders of true Christian faith in his life. It enriches deeply gives us his "glorious message of comfort and joy, even in the midst of a dark and sinful world.

IfYou really want to do God be with you, Christian, then you take the time to listen and to learn the true gospel of Christ, you who have disappeared.

The Boy Next Door Chapter 28

Kevin's POV WHAT THE HELL????!!!!! I watched Joe and Cori make out for a half an hour. MAKE OUT!!! What was she THINKING??!!! It TOTALLY was Joe she liked. It was sooo obvious now!! They said stuff by the window that I couldn't hear, then they kissed again. Jow climbed out the window and then Cori noticed me. I was planning on shutting the curtains right away, but Cori waved, blew Joe a kiss, and put her leg on the window sill. I had to close the curtains then. I didn't want to stare at her... that would be creepy. But her legs... they were something else. I sat on my bed. I heard footsteps tiptoe past my door. Joe. I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to ask him about it. He'd just acuse me of being jealous. Well... I was. But I didn't want him to know that. Only Nick knew that I liked Cori. He didn't know that I LOVED her though. I looked at my bookmark again.... the pink pen on the sheet of paper. Micayla's phone number. Micayla was about to be used... BIG TIME. But if faking liking Micayla helped me to get Cori..... then Cori i'd get. I lay in bed and turned off my lamp. Cori was going to get jealous. And she was going to want me. Alyssa's POV The next day, I noticed that Cori was extra happy. I wondered why. But I had more important stuff to deal with... Nick was coming over today, and I wanted to make our next date as good as the first. For him. I had our whole Saturday planned out. We'd have a picnic on the beach, go to Pinkberry, play some guitar, and at the end of the ...

Another Cinderella Story Episode 42

Nick's POV: I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say, how to act. We arrived way too soon, way before I was ready. I wanted to go in and see her again, but I didn't want to botch this up either. I didn't want to upset her in any way. I was so scared I would. It felt like the humid air itself was pressing down upon me, choking me so I couldn't speak. My dad gives me a pat on the back. That feels like he's physically pushing me forward and out of the car. Which is good since my feet don't seem to register that I want to move. Was I sweating before and just not notice until now? I wipe away beads of sweat trickling down my forehead. Take a deep breath in and try not to think about what I'll say. It'll come to me when I get there. I hope. Then I look up. A gigantic mansion envelops the sky above me. The walkway uphill towards the house is bordered with huge, trimmed bushes on either side. Okay, I can handle this. I'm Nick Jonas. I live in a huge ass house too. I took a step forward. Then another, and another. This could work out alright. I would be okay after all. Emily's POV: "Welcome! We've been expecting you!" the woman began brightly. "What's your name, child?" "Emily Wilson." I leaned against my suitcase for support. "Tut-tut! You are a Gomez under this roof! Understand?" I was too tired to argue, so I just nodded my head. "And what sort of name is Emily? What was your mother thinking? We'll have to do better than that if this is going to work out...hmm.." "But ...

'Two of a Kind' A Nick Jonas Love Story *6*

*Ranya's POV* I ran up the stairs to our room. I love our room, its one of my favourite places. We've lived here our whole lives, so we've made our room perfect. Me and Dani share a room, so we've sort of split it down the middle. When its split like that it works out that we both get a whole wall to ourselves and then two half walls. My wall and two halves is painted pink and purple, its so cool. On my full wall I've filled it with posters and fashion pages from magazines, you know the sort of stuff? On Dani's half she's painted it bright yellow, and like mine, her whole wall is covered with posters and pages from the sports section of magazines instead. On one of my half walls (the one that isn't the other half of Dani's) I've got a desk which we both share. On Dani's one she's got one of those hanging basket things that you can keep stuff in. Its kinda like www.football-bedrooms.co.uk but rainbow coloured and its round. Like the desk we both share that as well. Now, the wall that we both kinda share is my favourite. On Dani's side she's got loads of pictures of the two of us and of her and the Jonas family. In between all the pictures are medals she's won for sports and stuff like that, and the thing I like the most is that she's got all her friends to come and write little messages next to their pictures on the wall. I've written like 50 and so has Nick and Joe and Kevin. Even the little one, whats his name, oh Frankie, Frankie's even left a handprint! On my side I've ...

Christmas Decorations To Light Up Your Holidays

In the bleak cold days of winter, Christmas comes alive with the jingling bells, twinkling lights and the handsome Christmas evergreen. Everything about this holiday bears the spirit of joy, hope and festivity--be it the Christmas planning, Christmas party, Christmas greetings or the Christmas decorations. It is a big celebration and justifiably so, demands big preparation. Just as the shopping and planning ensue right after Thanksgiving, decoration activities start at least a week in advance. With a wee bit of extra time and imagination, you can do wonders with your Christmas decoration. So it is always a wise thought to start decorating your home early.

How to get started? Well, it is always the Christmas tree which is the central element of the holiday and consequently, the starting point of decoration. The whole family is hooked on to adorning their fir with great enthusiasm all through the pre-Christmas days. The bells, stars, beads, garlands, angels, teddies, icicles, snowmen, cookies, nuts, stockings, gift boxes and other ornaments are scattered everywhere to be neatly arranged on the branches of the Christmas evergreen. The mind-boggling range of Christmas ornaments adds up to the holiday delights and is, therefore, a fun source of more Christmas decoration activities. There are little gingerbread men, crystal snowflakes, silver icicles, red hat ladies, colorful balls and bells, Christmas print ribbons, red berries, German glass ornaments, Santa caps, small toys, angels, and even handmade paper or cardboard ornaments to make the Christmas tree look stunningly gorgeous. The lights go in the last, spiraled around the cone-shaped fir and to sign it off in all its brilliance. Brightly colored gift boxes piled up at the base of the tree is again a traditional sight and brings back wonderful memories of Christmas. To render a cute touch, sometimes people even choose to snug the base with a bunch of plump teddies clad in Christmas gear. Why not try that this Christmas? It sure would be amusingly different.

Besides the Christmas tree, there is still much left to the decorations. Bet you cannot afford to miss decking up your halls and yards on Christmas. If you choose to go the Victorian way, you can stock up your stuffs with stockings or take the floral route to the big occasion. Flowers look elegant and fresh on Christmas, just as much as it goes with the Christmas wreath at the front door or the mistletoe hanging on the doorway. Then there are the holly and ivy to pretty up your halls and bring nature indoors. As eye-catching centerpieces, a big bowl stuffed with red apples, fresh oranges and grapes would be a winning idea anytime. You may reserve the Christmas figurines like the Nativity Scene or the Santa and his reindeers for outdoor decoration.

However, no matter how much or how little Christmas ornaments you use for your Christmas decorations, do not forget the lights. The festive decoration and the holiday spirit fall insipid without the splendor of the Christmas lights. So go ahead and light up your holidays.

Breathe; Nemi One Shot [[Continued]]

[Demi's Dream/Flashback] I was walking along the beach, hand in hand, with Nick. The sound of the rolling waves, sending a sense of peace through the air. "Demi.." I looked at Nick, but he couldn't look me in the face. "Whats wrong, Nick?" I started to get worried in just a few seconds, until he met eye contact with me. He slowly got onto the sand, on one knee, lifting a single diamond ring, holding my hand in his. "Will you spend the rest of your life with me..?" Then suddenly, I heard gun-shots coming from every direction, and figures of army soldiers, ran around with weapons, screaming for each other. Nick stood up, and looked at me deep into the eyes, "Before I die..will you marry me?" The words confused me, but I broke into tears at the thought of Nick dying. . . . . . [After Dream/Flashback] Cold shivers, traveled down my back, and cold beads of sweat formed at my forehead. Sitting up slowly, I thought about how that dream was not even a dream. It was a nightmare. A nightmare that if turned out to be true, would ruin my life forever. 'Before I die.." rang through my head, over and over. A knock on the bedroom door, made me flinch. I fixed my nappy hair, and sat up a little more, and Selena opened the door. She smiled, sitting on the bed, handing me 5 envelopes. "Whats this?" I asked. "The messages Nick sent were late. This one is from yesterday." I could feel tears, fighting to come through, but I wouldn't cry. Even if they were happy tears. I opened the letter ...

Part twenty six !!! Hayley's POV: My eyes grew wide as I realized what Jeydon had done, my heart squeezed at the image of Justin in a hospital bed again. Jeydon looked at me with nothing but happiness. I looked back at him and I could see how easy he was manipulating me "What do you want Jeydon? Haven't you had enough!" "if I were you, I'd stop yelling at me and go see how your new little boyfriends doing", he said to me ignoring my question, I pushed passed him and started jogging towards Justin's gate. I had to get to the hospital fast, I could hear Jeydon say something to me as I left but I didn't pay attention to him, although I could have sworn I heard him say something about Nick. I pushed the thought out of my mind and ran faster. Jeydon's POV: One down, two more to go, I watched Hayley run out of Justin's yard as I plotted out my next move. I wasn't done yet I was just beginning. Justin's POV: I laid in bed staring at the Ceiling with my body shaking in anger. It hadn't even taken a month for me to end up right back in the hospital. The doctors had come in and said that I couldn't go home until I stopped bleeding. Their psycho I haven't even bled since this morning, I hate people. Right at the end of that thought I felt my stomach burn in pain as blood started gushing out all over again. I looked to the right side of bed to find a big red stain growing bigger and bigger. I reached my hand over my head and rang the bell. Five seconds later a herd of nurses and ...

Women As Bible Teachers - Early Church History

There is now abundant published evidence that women were teachers, pastors and church leaders in New Testament times. Where then, did the attitude forbidding women to teach arise?

We know from First Corinthians (in the original Greek that is, the mistranslations of most English Bible versions give us the wrong idea) that Paul took the Corinthian church to task for their attitude to women in the church. Early attitudes to women varied greatly. The Christian, Theodoret of Cyrrhus, stated that a woman is sometimes a better judge than a man and can be good advisor. Around 180 AD, Clement of Alexandria wrote that women were as capable as men of studying any subject. In the third century, John Chrysostom, commenting on 1 Timothy 3:11, stated that Paul was speaking of those who hold the rank of deaconesses.

On the other hand, Philo (first century) wrote in De Opificio Mundi,165, "The attitude of man is informed by reason, that of woman by sensuality." Around the same time, Josephus wrote in Contra Apioneum, 2.201, "For the Scripture says, 'The woman is inferior to her husband in every way.'" His attitude to marriage is illuminated by his comment in the same passage (2.203) that marital relationships defile one in soul and body. Epiphanus of Salamis in his Panarion (374-377 AD) stated that women were weak, fickle and of only mediocre intelligence. Tertullian, On Female Fashion, I. 1-6, went further and wrote that women were the doorway to the devil.

Given the ambivalent attitude to women, it is not surprising that 300 years after the New Testament was written, many were departing from its teachings. After all, general misunderstandings had happened as early as Paul's ministry. Paul had to admonish the Thessalonians for getting their facts wrong, facts which he had kept explaining to them (2 Thessalonians 2:5), and rebuked the Galatians (Galatians 1:6) for so quickly turning their backs on what they had seen.

The Top Three Ways That Wearable Art Can Express Your Unique Personality

This article is written for all of you, who, in the age of mass production find yourself constantly struggling to find ways that will set yourselves beyond the crowd. Or more specifically, those of you who want to find a way to give yourself a bit of shine that will make you stand out as opposed to just blending in.

In this article, you'll find out about the top three ways that wearable art can enable you to display your uniqueness and express your personality or individual character in a manner that is creative and personalized.

Are you bored with the common fashion? Are you looking for something that expresses more and is, better, bolder. When you shop in malls do you look for those one-of-a kind boutiques that are offering styles that are a little funky or just plain different?

When shopping for clothing do you go looking for something that is a cut above of the generic labels that everyone else is wearing?

You are someone who deserves to have a way to let their uniqueness and expressiveness shine not just through your personality but also through your clothing - that in so many ways is an extension of yourself. If you could find a way to have your inner self shine through by wearing art would you be curious to find out just how to this can be done?

=>One. Wearable art can help you to speak to the crowd in a creative and inspirational way that will make you memorable to others even though they have never had the chance to meet you or talk to you.

=>Two. Wearable art communicates your love of artistic creations and also sets you above the crowd as a unique and expressive individual who is not satisfied with always settling for what everyone else is wearing.

=>Three. When you slip into some wearable art you are making a bold social statement that tells others a colourful and creative story about you as an individual. You are saying: "I am not afraid to be different! I embrace every opportunity that I get to express my unique personality."

Growing up I was always creating something. I will never forget the time when I made one of my first pieces of wearable art. I cut a rectangle out of the thigh area on a pair of my jeans and sewed in a patch of different coloured material to the denim. Then I sewed cut out letters of my name into my jeans. Nobody else in the school had anything like them and everyone kept asking me where I had gotten them made! Those artistic and creative jeans had become the ultimate conversation piece.

This kind of unique art will give you a way to truly stand out from the crowd and express your own personal uniqueness in a creative and inspirational way. Wearable art is not just about wearing clothing it is about making a statement that genuinely reflects your spirit. If I could tell you about a way that wearable art could inspire you and those around you not only with colours and artistic images would you be interested?

The Responsibility of Blessings

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Blessings are not miracles. Miracles are temporary, just for you, and can occur in unbelief. Blessings Keep us out of crisis, 2. Blessings are abundance for you. 3. Blessings are abundance so you can be a blessing. 4. Blessings require responsibility. 5. Blessings are eternal.

Deut. 7: 9 Covenant God with those who love Him and keep His commandments.

Matthew 22:37-40 Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind.

Ezekiel 36:26-27: New heart, new spirit.

John 15:12 Love one another as He has loved us.

When you are saved and Spirit filled you have God's Spirit dwelling in you and you want to follow His commandments. It is the new Covenant God promised and fulfilled. He not only gave us a way for salvation but a way to walk in it - the infilling and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Salvation is the doorway to the walk. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the power of the walk. Walking in love toward each other is the key.

In today's society we are a "gimme gimme" generation. A really good example of this is the lottery. You put in a dollar and hope you win a million. Many Christians look at God's blessings in the same way. They give a little - the control of their life, their time, their talents, their money and expect god to give back in abundance. It doesn't work that way.
Too many times we center on what we want and not what God desire's from us.
Total devotion and love, our worship and trust. Complete fellowship with Him.

As believers we are joint heirs and as joint heirs we have promises from God he is legally, covenant bound to honor. A covenant is a legal agreement. It is a 2 party agreement. Each party has to keep his part of the agreement. Too many times believers want God to keep all of his part and they only keep a small part of theirs. That's not how it works.

God is faithful- He keeps Covenant as we read in Deut 7. His Covenant with us is the most sacred form of agreement there is. God will keep his end. You have to keep yours. The key to everything is God's love!

John 3:16 For God so loved the World. God loved us so much He gave that whosoever believed!

Salvation required an action.. You had to accept his gift of love in faith unto salvation and eternal life. It is the same with all the Blessings.

Psalms 1:1

Keys: walks not, delights in, meditates then prospers.

Proverbs3:5-7

He won't direct your path if you lean on your own understanding.

One of the major ways we love and worship God is with our tithes and offerings.
Under the Old Covenant the tithes were used for 3 main purposes. To support the Levites, for the upkeep of the temple and to help the poor. Let's talk about this in light of the New Covenant. Let's first look at stewardship. A steward is a business manager in today's terms, He manages the money and property of another.

Luke 12:42 We are stewards of what God has given us.

We are to be faithful stewards of all God has given us.

Our time - are you giving time to God?

Our family - Are you leading them in the paths of righteousness?

Our Home - Is it a Godly home?

Our talent - are you using the gift God has given you to further the Gospel?

Our money - Do you render unto God what is God's.

Tithing is one of our responsibilities in this covenant agreement. It carries many blessing but also many responsibilities. We don't give in a legalistic manner, out of duty or obligation. This is not a cheerful giver. We give because we love Him and want to acknowledge His love, generosity and Covenant agreement with him. We worship with our tithes and offerings.

It is not a "gimme gimme". God will fulfill His part as we fulfill our part. Not when, but as! It is an obedient mutual exchange of love and blessing. We bless, adore and worship Him and He Loves and blesses us! It is a give, give situation. Not a give and take situation, with God giving and us taking. We are to love God - no matter what!

Mal.3:3 Return to God, don't rob God, pay tithes and the doors of heave will be opened. Jesus told us to render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. God's part is the tenth, it was Decided way before Moses, when Abraham paid the tenth to Melchizedek. I don't believe that part has changed. Paul tells us to decide in our heart what to give and give it cheerfully. All this leads back to fulfilling God's commandment to love Him and each other. When you walk in love, trust God to be faithful in keeping his covenant, you don't have to worry so much about the return.

Luke 6:27. "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28. "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
29. "To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30. "Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31. "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. 32. "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33. "And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34. "And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35. "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

36. "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. 37. "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. We so many times just use the last verse and there is so much more to it. Yes, give and it will be given to you But!!! look at the preceding verses.

God's Covenant is not a cafeteria of blessing - where you choose what part you'll keep and then tell God what part you need. You are responsible to do what He expects and asks.
Our first and most important responsibility that should pour out of our new spirit is spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We should be fervent in supporting this aspect of the ministry. We should support our local church, Our pastors and teachers, apostles and evangelists, missionaries, and reach out to the poor as the Word tells us to.

True fellowship with God is a totally giving attitude expecting nothing in return expect the promises of God. We have the right to expect God to keep his Covenant, but we have to keep ours. I think this is why so many people fail in their believing for the meeting of needs. So many times, I hear people say "I pay my tithes for years and nothing has really changed." But are you worshiping with your tithes, are you looking at what your responsibilities are. Are you being judgmental, are you walking in forgiveness, are you giving at the church, helping at the church. Or are you coming on Sunday mornings and answering the altar call time after time for someone to pray for you a job, a raise, etc.

Every Sunday at our church we say that confession, but we need to be in line with the word before we can walk in it. Then you can say that confession, which is reminding God of His promises to you and your obedience to Him, and He is legally obligated and faithful to fulfill it.

Matthew 6:33-33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God...
Psalms 18:30 the word of the Lord is proven.

The Philippians truly understood this concept.

Philippians 1:4-5.

Fellowship here is a type of partnership. The Philippians from the first time they heard the Gospel want all of it. They went after every bit of it with their whole heart. They supported Paul in his ministry to proclaim the Gospel.

They were in fellowship with him, they were sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit to pray for him, and for his success in leading others to Christ. They also supported him financially.

Philippians 4:10,14-19

They were walking in love toward all, praying for Paul to sow the Word and reap the fruit and it was their fruit as well as Paul's. They prayed for him, were lead by the Spirit to intercede for him. In times of dire straights they supported him financially.

This support of Paul was a sweet aroma, an acceptable sacrifice to the Lord,
And God supplied all their needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Let me leave you with a few thoughts. Love God with all your heart. Walk in love toward your brethren and your enemies. Worship with your talents, time and tithes and offerings. Expect and trust God to fulfill His part of the covenant because you have fulfilled yours.

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Do you want to be a joint heir with Christ?
If so, I urge you to earnestly pray the following prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Your word says, "...and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out." (Jn.6:37),

So I know You won't cast me out, but You take me in, And I thank you for it. You said in your Word, "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'' (Ro. 10:13).

I am calling on Your name, So I know You have saved me now, You also said, "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation." (Ro.10:9,10).

I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess Him now as my Lord, Because Your Word says, "... with the heart one believes to righteousness..." and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21),

And I am saved! Thank You, Lord!
I can now truthfully say, I see myself as a born again child of God!
Glory to God!!!! Amen
