About Me

My photo
I was graciously saved from charismatic confusion and catholicism tradition unto Jesus alone by 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" which I read in a Jack Chick tract called "This Was Your Life" given me from a Christian friend. At the end I broke into a cold sweat because of heavy conviction that what I just read I was guilty of and knew I was in trouble. I was given a book called "A Divine Revelation to Hell" from a Christian which scared the "hell" out of me. After reading another tract called "Last Rites" I prayed to God to forgive me and Jesus to save me because I didn't want to go to hell but go to Heaven one day. Jesus knew I could not save myself so He died on that cross for me. Now I give out Chick tracts, gospel movies, and Biblical archeology newspapers so that God may be glorified in me through His Son Jesus, Messiah. Don't ever give up on your family and friends you pray for because his Word doesn't return void. And one day, you may hear God say unto you "..Well done thou good and faithful servant:..enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" Matthew 25:21,23 Amen

Welcome All Who Seek to Know What God Is Doing In These Last Days!
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man...Luke 21:36 And in Acts 2:17-21 It says "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

And the Answer is......

The House of Simon the leper.

Matthew 26:6-7 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

Well who was Simon the Leper? In 3 of the 4 Gospel accounts, Matthew, Mark and Luke it mentions the story of how a leper was healed....Here is one of the 3. The other is found in Mark 1:40-45 and Luke 5:12-14.

In Matthew 8:1-4 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Simon the Leper was privileged to have been touched by the Master and had returned to his home after Jesus healed him. This was mostly unheard of, lepers being healed. Because without him being completed healed and showing himself to the priests, this would not have been allowed. Lepers were left to die away from everyone dear to them.

It doesn't say how long he was a leaper but nevertheless he returned home and that is a blessing. 18 Chapters later in Matthew we see Jesus in Simon's house probably to give thanksgiving to Him who healed him and a woman with an alabaster box came and anointed Jesus. How precious it was that it was his home when this occurred!
It was a memorial occasion.

Here is why I brought Simon to your attention. Here you have a man with a deadly disease separated from his people, his family, truly rejected by society left to die....and when he cried out to Jesus, he came to hear his need and restored him to God and men. How wonderful that God hears our cries, our needs.

Psalm 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

But on the contrast of this wonderfully restored man, who was his son?
