About The Author

zion4131 zion4131. Accepting the Free Gift of Salvation: The Bible says Jesus is the only way to heaven. "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" (John 14:6 KJV) You cannot earn your way to heaven by doing "good works" "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV) Salvation comes by believing and confessing in the Lord Jesus: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. " (Romans 10:9-10 KJV) "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 10:9-11 KJV)

  1. Sermon Scripture References Part 1

    Revelation 1:10-17
    10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
    11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
    12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
    13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot,
    and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
    14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
    15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
    16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
    17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

    Job 1:6-7
    6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

    21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
    22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

    19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
    20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
    21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the LORD] said, Thou shalt entice [him], and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do [even] so.
    22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

    9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
    10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
    11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

    18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
    19 I know thy works,

    17 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

  4. Pastor Lawson is a great man of God…been there at Temple Baptist Church and will get to see him again soon, God willing. Truly the power and glory of Jesus Christ is with him and with us all if we just listen….

  5. Was this from today?I emailed you this past week and felt like the spirit of God was in your eyes looking right at the camera talking to me. It is amazing no matter how old this is I felt like he was looking right in to my soul at the end saying come to the light of christ. I want to go to a good seminary but I don't know which one to trust. I trust God,and as a man I trust preacher Lawsons words. Thank God for the obedience of this man,and for your glory father. Amen

  6. Yes Jesus the Son of the Living God…not revealed to me by flesh and blood but by the Spirit of the Living God and by my Father who is in heaven…Jesus is Lord and He alone is The Light of the World…Thank you Father God for so great a Light…undeserving mere flesh of a man that I am…I praise God for the Light…Hallelujah!

  7. This comment was for another sermon- but wouldn't send- Bless you Pastor. Your anointed words cut us all to the bone, we have innocent blood on our hands. God save the babies~ let us rise up in protection for the children. As for those abused women that come out 40 years after the attack~poppycock. Statute of limitations!!! If they actually were molested~ where was their cry, their scream, their nonstop search for restitution when the act was committed??!! As a woman raised by a God fearing mommy~ I protected myself from potential danger~ and I would have died trying to overcome an attacker. I have suspicions that these women went along with these famous men for imagining it might further their job~ or some other reason, and were upset after they found out they'd been Used, and now 20-40 years later~this man can be made to Pay$. A woman of age should be aware~ there's no law protecting stupidity. Have respect, teach your daughters to have respect! Then they will be less likely to come in contact with a situation where they are used and manipulated or attacked and abused. Respect for yourself will also end the need for abortion! Women~ this ball is in Our court~ just say NO to Se>< outside of marriage!! This alone will return women back to womanhood and men back into Men!

  8. Truth without love is bad, Love without truth is bad. Praying for comments to be written with the love of Jesus~ or not to be written. We are being watched by the godless~ don't let Satan use you for his purposes. Pray before you write~LORD, will what I write advance Your kingdom, will it encourage and lift up a defeated Christian, will it lead a lost soul to You? If you can't answer yes~ take you fingers off that keyboard. Let Jesus cleanse your heart so that your words spoken or written will come back to your own belly sweet and good. Those ugly words come back into your own belly bitter and toxic. You hurt your own self~ not just others with hateful unkind words. Let Jesus guide us!

  9. Could someone pray for my husband and I? We are in a difficult place in our marriage. My husband seems to want to continue in sin and not change. I decided to sleep on the couch until that time comes. All I can do is pray and give it to God. But I also need to rely on God for happiness and joy and count all my suffering and heartache for such. I love my husband but I cant take the lies and infidelity anymore…
