PARENTS at PRAISE village

 

Deuteronomy 11:1

King James Version

11 Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, 

and keep his charge, 

and his statutes, 

and his judgments, 

and his commandments, 

alway.


Parents at PRAISE village are born again.

They have committed their lives to the LORD.

They are instructed by SPIRIT each day.

Prayers are given to JESUS each day.

Everything is offered to GOD.

For His GLORY alone, and never man's.

Whether it be our lives, work, or children.

For, without GOD, we won't be here.

We won't even exist.

It's really as simple as that.

Being governed by GOD, parents can govern their children well.

GOD was clear how we are to bring up our children:

Deuteronomy 11:19-21

King James Version

19 And ye shall teach them your children, 

speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, 

and when thou walkest by the way, 

when thou liest down, 

and when thou risest up.

20 And thou shalt write them 

upon the door posts of thine house, 

and upon thy gates:

21 That your days may be multiplied, 

and the days of your children, 

in the land which the Lord sware 

unto your fathers to give them, 

as the days of heaven upon the earth.


This is not brainwashing.

This is being WASHED by the WORD.

That we may be acceptable to the LORD, our GOD, when the day comes.

That we may be guided by His SPIRIT each day.

That we may acknowledge the teachings of the LORD JESUS.

Everything JESUS taught, is to love GOD, and others.

What better foundation for kids, would there be?

That we may live a life, worthy of the SAVIOR's cross.

That His death, was not for nothing.

And that we would teach our children the same.

To revere the LORD, our GOD, forever.

Making sure we are all focused on GOD alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


We won't ask children to conform to the ways of the world.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, 

will of God.


We won't ask them to be obsessed with wealth, or ambition.

Luke 9:25

King James Version

25 For what is a man advantaged, 

if he gain the whole world, 

and lose himself, 

or be cast away?


The ways of the world are in total opposition to the ways of SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other:

 so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.


You've heard about leadership "by example"?

Born again parents live by example.

It's really as simple as that.

The JOYFUL village

 


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.


PRAISE village is a happy born again village.

For we know JESUS can return ANY moment.

GOD decides when.

In the meantime, we study the WORD, we live the WORD, and we share the WORD.

The WORD of GOD is center of our existence.

And since JESUS is the WORD, He is the center of our existence.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.


What could be more exciting than to see the LORD, and to be with Him?

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


What could be more exciting than to have ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS?

John 11:25-26

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this?


All you have to do is seek GOD.

Believe in His SON.

Repent of your sins.

Believe in the gospel.

For the time is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


Everything we're doing on earth -- our life, our work -- is but preparation.

Everything must be consecrated to CHRIST.

That's why we at PRAISE village are happy, and content.

To have JESUS in your heart, suffices.

To have GOD love us, is all we need.

To have SPIRIT teach us, makes us feel so blessed.

To live by the BIBLE, guides us each moment.

We are in GOD's good company.

We are happy to share our village with you.

Where CHILDREN are LOVED

 

Proverbs 17:6

King James Version

6 Children's children are the crown of old men; 

and the glory of children are their fathers.


Lately, we've seen many videos on eugenics.

How superior people want to create superior children, and set aside who they think are inferior.

The ways they set aside these children of GOD, really broke my heart.

Who's to decide who is superior, or inferior, when the GOOD LORD created us all?

However we come out from the womb, is for GOD's purpose.

Witness how GOD created man:

Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


How can GOD be wrong, when He created us, in His image and likeness?

Witness an exchange between JESUS, and His disciples:

John 9:1-2

King James Version

9 And as Jesus passed by, 

he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, 

Master, who did sin, 

this man, or his parents, 

that he was born blind?


Witness how JESUS answered:

John 9:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered, 

Neither hath this man sinned, 

nor his parents: 

but that the works of God 

should be made manifest in him.


Who are we to judge, who deserves to live, or die?

Who are we to judge, who deserves to be loved, or not loved?

GOD loves us all.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.


Romans 5:8

King James Version

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, 

in that, 

while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.


Luke 15:4-6

King James Version

4 What man of you, 

having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, 

doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, 

rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.


PRAISE village loves ALL children.

We take care of our own.

We don't play favorites.

God doesn't.

Our village provides a place for kids to play, eat, rest, study.

Where these precious gifts from GOD are safe, warm, and cherished.

Where they can be taught about the FATHER of ALL.

Where they can learn about JESUS.

For JESUS does LOVE children.

Matthew 18:1-7

King James Version

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, 

Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, 

and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 

which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone 

were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!


Matthew 19:13-15

King James Version

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, 

that he should put his hands on them, 

and pray: 

and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, 

Suffer little children, 

and forbid them not, 

to come unto me: 

for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, 

and departed thence.


Mark 9:35-37

King James Version

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, 

and saith unto them, 

If any man desire to be first, 

the same shall be last of all, 

and servant of all.

36 And he took a child, 

and set him in the midst of them: 

and when he had taken him in his arms, 

he said unto them,

37 Whosoever shall receive 

one of such children in my name, 

receiveth me: 

and whosoever shall receive me, 

receiveth not me, 

but him that sent me.


Much harm has been done upon children of GOD.

From families, war, commerce.

It's time to create a PRAISE village, where children can be loved, accepted, taught, born of water and of the SPIRIT.

Where all live by GOD's laws.If we know GOD's laws, we cannot possibly hurt each other.

PRAISE village aims to do that.

The GRATEFUL village

 


Luke 9:58

King James Version

58 And Jesus said unto him, 

Foxes have holes, 

and birds of the air have nests; 

but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.


When I think of JESUS, how hard He worked, how faithful He was, how obedient He was, I become shamefaced.

He didn't even have a place to lay His head.

Everyone sought Him for healing, and for ministry, every time.

Grateful is the PRAISE village where we have a place to rest and sleep, no matter how humble our means.

We thank GOD for the roof over our heads, hot food on the table, a place to sleep, clothes on our back.

We do not seek luxury, only a place to keep our families safe, and warm.

We pray that all are in a good place, too.

We give shelter to the stranger, who passes by.

We feed the hungry.

We teach children about JESUS.

We give ALL glory to GOD.

We listen to His SPIRIT, for instruction.

We produce only what is needed.

We do not hoard, or deprive others.

We have faith, that GOD will ALWAYS provide.

We share what we have.

As the Bible decreed, we leave some for the poor.

Leviticus 23:22

King James Version

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, 

thou shalt not make clean riddance 

of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, 

neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: 

thou shalt leave them unto the poor, 

and to the stranger: 

I am the Lord your God.


There is nothing to steal from us.

We have no wealth to speak of.

We do not have stocks, or bonds.

We have no need for things of the world.

We live simply.

We do not mind obscurity.

If anything, we welcome it.

Our only desire is to know things of GOD.

To know His commandments.

And to live by it.

As JESUS lived by example, we try to do the same.

Our hearts remain forever grateful.

That's why we praise God, for we are grateful.

A HUMBLE village

 

Philippians 2:3

King James Version

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; 

but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other 

better than themselves.


A PRAISE village is a humble village.

It does nothing out of vainglory, or conceit.

Villagers live, from a point of love and care for each other.

And utmost reverence for the LORD.

When people's hearts are right with GOD, there is no conceit.

Only a LOVE for the LORD.

We look to how JESUS lived His life.

We pattern our lives from His.

Philippians 2:5-8

King James Version

5 Let this mind be in you, 

which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, 

being in the form of God, 

thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, 

and took upon him the form of a servant, 

and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, 

he humbled himself, 

and became obedient unto death, 

even the death of the cross.


And yet, GOD exalted His SON.

Philippians 2:9-11

King James Version

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, 

and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 

of things in heaven, 

and things in earth, 

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.


PRAISE villagers know what matters most.

GOD.

We live simply.

We work honestly.

We do not desire the things of the world.

We only desire to live by the WORD.

For life is but a vapor on earth.

James 4:14

King James Version

14 Whereas ye know not 

what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.


That we may be ready, when the time comes.

For JESUS can return, any moment.

May we be found blameless.

Philippians 2:14-16

King James Version

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, 

the sons of God, 

without rebuke, 

in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, 

among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

16 Holding forth the word of life; 

that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, 

that I have not run in vain, 

neither laboured in vain.

How to CREATE a PRAISE village

 

Galatians 2:20

King James Version

20 I am crucified with Christ: 

nevertheless I live; 

yet not I, 

but Christ liveth in me: 

and the life which I now live in the flesh 

I live by the faith of the Son of God, 

who loved me, 

and gave himself for me.


Start with self. 

You cannot create a PRAISE village, unless you start with self.

By seeking GOD first.

By humbling yourself before Him.

By being born again.

By being stripped of sin.

JESUS showed us how.

Through His perfect obedience.

We can only know GOD, through JESUS.

John 17:3

King James Version

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, 

whom thou hast sent.


For JESUS is the WAY.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


Without JESUS, we can do nothing.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


As born again, we are gifted with GOD's SPIRIT.

Through the SPIRIT of GOD, we can know JESUS.

SPIRIT will teach us GOD's TRUTH.

SPIRIT will make Scripture easy to understand.

How else was I able to produce a body of work, unless SPIRIT taught me?

By myself, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Following the ways of the world produces corrupt creations.

But if we have the SPIRIT of GOD in us -- as born again -- results will differ.

When you want to know ultimate truth, GOD will show up.

When your heart is ready to repent, GOD will definitely show up.

When He makes you born again, all become clear, through SPIRIT.

That's how PRAISE village came to fruition, two days ago.

It started with an idea planted by SPIRIT.

After that, there was no stopping SPIRIT.

We create PRAISE village, as we go along.

Do you want to create such a village?

Then, START with self.

REVIEW how you have defied God, and deified other gods.

SEEK GOD with ALL your heart.

PRAY to know about GOD.

What does PRAISE mean?

 

Psalm 150:6

Psalm 9:1-2

King James Version

9 I will praise thee, 

O Lord, 

with my whole heart; 

I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:

O thou most High.

King James Version

8 Who is this King of glory? 

The Lord strong and mighty, 

the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, 

O ye gates; 

even lift them up, 

ye everlasting doors; 

and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? 

The Lord of hosts, 

he is the King of glory. 

Selah.

95 O come, 

let us sing unto the Lord:

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God, 

and a great King above all gods.


Psalm 103:1-4

King James Version

103 Bless the Lord, 

O my soul: 

and all that is within me, 

bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, 

O my soul, 

and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; 

who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 

who crowneth thee with lovingkindness 

and tender mercies;


Psalm 150:1-5

King James Version

150 Praise ye the Lord. 

Praise God in his sanctuary: 

praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts:

 praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: 

praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: 

praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: 

praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.


Isaiah 25:1

King James Version

25 O Lord, 

thou art my God; 

I will exalt thee, 

I will praise thy name; 

for thou hast done wonderful things; 

thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.


John 17:1-4

King James Version

17 These words spake Jesus, 

and lifted up his eyes to heaven, 

and said, 

Father, 

the hour is come; 

glorify thy Son, 

that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, 

that he should give eternal life 

to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, 

whom thou hast sent.

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: 

I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.


Colossians 3:16

King James Version

16 Let the word of Christ 

dwell in you richly in all wisdom; 

teaching and admonishing one another 

in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


Hebrews 13:15

King James Version

15 By him therefore let us offer 

the sacrifice of praise to God continually, 

that is, 

the fruit of our lips 

giving thanks to his name.


James 5:13

King James Version

13 Is any among you afflicted? 

let him pray. 

Is any merry? 

let him sing psalms.


Now, you know why this fallen world could use a PRAISE village.

To praise GOD means, we thank GOD.

For His love, and all the blessings He has bestowed upon us.

Even when things seem to go wrong.

Everything is for GOD's purpose.
