Some people seek Jesus Christ to heal them. At our church meetings many are healed!
Some receive healing, but they don’t stay healed, why?
1. Lack of Faith
“And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:58
“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1Corinthians 2:5
2. Lack of Knowledge
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
3. Lack of Obedience
“If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.” Malachi 2:2
“And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” Acts 3:23
Summary
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it , do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, …” Colossians 1:9-11

What do you think of when you see the phrase ‘Spiritual Warfare’?
I think of guns and cannons coming at me from places I cannot see. I think of what the Bible speaks of as fiery darts sent from an enemy that is in another realm. If you think these kinds of thoughts, you are not far from the truth as defined by the Bible. It reads in Ephesians Chapter 6:12:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ask yourself, ‘do things keep happening in my life that have no earthly explanation?’ If so, maybe something spiritual is going on that can be combated, if you just knew how to use weapons given to us in the Bible. Maybe, you just need a Spiritual Boot Camp. If so, we have one coming up in Kaplan, La. Speakers who are ‘Experts in War’, as one of the conference speakers has stated. This speaker also has a book entitled, “Becoming an Expert in War.”
On April 8th and 9th, ‘Defeating the Darkness’, will be taking place at Acadian Lighthouse Church. We will begin on Friday night at 7pm and again on Saturday morning at 9am. The cost is free just bring your Bible. If you need a Bible call and let us know. Come and learn how to use Biblical weapons to fight the unseen forces that are bombarding you.

A very wise rabbi once said, “Reading the Bible in a translation is like kissing your bride through the veil.”
Studying Greek and Hebrew at Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College trains you to lift the veil to really study the Old Testament in the original Hebrew and the New Testament in the original Greek.
Are you tied of someone telling you what the Holy Bible says?
Having been a Baptist pastor trained in Baptist Bible colleges and seminaries; I did use the Roman’s Road to falsely lead individuals to Easy Believism Salvation!
The following is known as the Roman’s Road:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
“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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
Next, the unknowing person would be asked to say the sinner’s prayer.
What is the problem with the above plan of salvation?
1. There are verses purposely left out!
2. There isn’t a sinner’s prayer given in Scripture nor is there an example of a sinner’s prayer in Scripture. NONE!
What are the verses left out from the Letter to the Romans in the Roman's Road?
Water Baptism is required to walk in newness of life!
“God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:” Romans 6:2-5
Holy Spirit Baptism is required. One must have Jesus’ Spirit indwelling. Jesus’ Spirit is the Holy Spirit.
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:9-11
What did Jesus Christ say about salvation? He agrees with Romans 6 & 8 – one must have water & Holy Spirit Baptism.
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5-6
Did Jesus Christ say anything about a sinner’s prayer? NO!
What Did Jesus Christ say? He said you must be born of water and born of the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God.
Did He say you must say a sinner’s prayer? NO! Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus Christ say to say a sinner’s prayer!
When you face Jesus Christ at your judgment, what will you say? Will you say I chose the easy believism salvation in place of obedience to YOU?
What did Peter say about Biblical salvation?
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:37
What did Paul say about Biblical salvation?
“Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.” Acts 19:4-6
“And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Act 22:16
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6
What else did Jesus Christ say:
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
The start for ones salvation is:
Repentance, Acts 2:38
Water baptism for the washing away of sin, Acts 22:16
Holy Spirit baptism, John 3:5-6

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Luke 4:8 King James Version

Personally, if a pastor cannot read at least the Greek New Testament from the original text or interpret it then he is not worth my time. I want to know more and more about the text in its original language. My opinion counts though where I am concerned and personally I vote with my feet when I feel my valuable time is being wasted. It takes a while to dress and do my hair and drive some place on a weeknight or Sunday. So in the words of the New Testament Writer….I want to make my calling and election sure. I am not going to rely on anyone else to tell me what I need to do to be saved. I want to make sure it lines up with the Bible and I want to read it for myself. I am not wasting my valuable time or life based on opinion. I need hard facts.
“ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:10 & 11

Hello Friends,
If one were to follow the verses given below one would hopefully receive the revelation that Jesus is Jehovah. Jehovah is coming in the beginning verses with phrases describing himself. Those same phrases are used in reference to Jesus proving they are one and the same.
King James Bible“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:6
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 12 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Is 44:6).” Revelation 22:12-13
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20
The verses above are stating Jesus is coming as "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." As Jehovah is described.
“Thus saith the LORD (Jehovah) the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD (Jehovah) of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6
New World Translation
“I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8
And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. Revelation 21:6
Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. 13 I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Revelation 22:12-13
“He that bears witness of these things says, ‘Yes; I am coming quickly.’” “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20
“This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6
In Jesus,
Bruce
The purpose of a Church service:

7. a place to guide you into Heaven
8. a place for fellowship
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” Ephesians 4:11
“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:12-15
The church of today must have apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers! Prophets and apostles are still for today! Last Sunday, an evangelist ministered in our church meeting. Dana and I are both pastor- teacher. In other words, Dana is called to be both a pastor and a teacher.

These words sound good, but Biblically I can show you they are true.
Turn in your Bible to 2 Corinthians 5:1-18
1. Old things are passed away and all things are become new.
(Verse 16 says “henceforth” meaning from this time forward.)
2. We are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
3. He is no longer holding things that have been put under the blood against us.
4. How do we put things under the blood of Jesus?
a. You repent of your sins. True repentance is not just crocodile tears and sorrow because you were caught doing wrong. It is making an about face turn from sin and walking the other way. (Matthew 3:2, Matthew 3:8, Matthew 4:17, Acts 2:38, 2 Corinthians 7:9, 10, 11)
b. Water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ is for the washing away of sin. If you haven’t been baptized Biblically, consider it. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:41, Acts 16:15, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21)
c. The infilling of the Holy Spirit which gives us the resurrection power of Jesus Christ living on the inside of us also gives us power to:
1. Witness (Acts 1:8)
2. Overcome sin (1 John 5:4)
3. Be raised from death unto life with Jesus Christ (John 5:24, Romans 5:21, 2 Corinthians 2:16, 1 John 3:14, Romans 8:11)
Regardless of your current lifestyle or whatever things you have done in the past the Bible says that becoming a Christian according to what the Bible teaches is a brand new life.

Some Christians teach Jesus spent 1/3 of His ministry casting out demons, another 1/3 of His ministry healing the sick and raising the dead and 1/3 of His ministry was teaching and preaching.
Is every Christian to be casting out demons? YES!
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” Mark 16:17
The above verse is teaching that everyone who believes is to be casting out demons (devils). A sign following a true believer is his or her ability to cast out demons. Do you believe? Then why don’t you cast out demons?
Do you desire to know how to cast out demons?
Come to Acadian Lighthouse Church to receive training, so you too can cast out demons!

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:17-18
“Verily, verily, I (Jesus) say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12
At Acadian Lighthouse Church, we take the Holy Bible literally! One of our members had a knee that was very painful. It had been very painful for along time. One of our members who has the Gifts of Healing laid hands on her, then Jesus Christ healed her. Today, she is walking around town without any pain in her knees! Thank you, Jesus!
All who come to Jesus get healed:
“..and healed all that were sick.” Matthew 8:16 (Matthew 15:30-31)
“..who (Jesus) went about … healing all..” Acts 10:38
“..any sick with divers diseases ... healed them.” Luke 4:40
Other Christians healed all:
“..they were healed every one.” (Saint Peter) Acts 5:16
“..others.. which had diseases.. came.. were healed.” (Saint Paul) Acts 28:9
“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;..” James 5:14-15

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” Luke 12:12-15
Many people today are at odds with each other over things that will not matter when death comes knocking on their door. I like the old joke about a man meeting Peter at heaven’s gate carrying a huge suit case of gold. Peter had him open the suitcase and laughed at the contents. He then asked why in the world was a suitcase of road pavement so important? “The Bible speaks of streets of purest gold. Earthly treasures are not as important when you look at them in perspective. Let’s walk in divine precepts now. Treasure what is important. Treasure your family and friends. This is a new year and many are dieting. How about giving up things like resentment, guilt, unforgiveness and all the things that are spiritual weights this year? I promise you will feel better and look better.
In Jesus’ Name, Dana Klein, Pastor, Acadian Lighthouse, www.alchurch.webs.com (337) 517-3954
Why are there over 100 English translations of the New Testament? Why are there so many English translations of the same Biblical Greek phrase? Which English translation is correct? The original preserved Majority Byzantine Greek Biblical manuscripts are correct. The Greek New Testament is the New Testament! All English Bibles are translations.
| Some areas where the English Bible is not correctly translating the Greek Bible (NT manuscripts) | |||
| Verse | Word(s) from Translation | Right Word for Greek | Actual Greek Word |
| Matthew 28:1 | “of the week” | Sabbath | σαββάτων |
| Mark 16:2 | “of the week” | Sabbath | σαββάτων |
| Acts 20:7 | “of the week” | Sabbath | σαββάτων |
| Acts 12:4 | “Easter” | Passover | πασχα |
By learning Biblical Greek, you can have a better understanding of what Jesus Christ is trying to say to you. He wants you to know the truth about the “Sabbath”. He wants you to know the truth about His love, etc. Greek is easy!
You are invited to attend the Biblical Greek course at Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College. Classes starts January 22. You may also take courses in Biblical Theology, Old Testament Survey, Spiritual Gifts, etc. Everyone can be a student!

Faith in Jesus Christ is part of the greatest inheritance you can give or receive.
I was preaching last Sunday about faith. As a child, I can still remember the faith of my Grandmother Anastazie Guidry Dartez. She had a framed print of Jesus Christ praying on his knees at a rock, hanging on her bedroom wall. I have searched for several years all over the internet and in different art and antique shops for that picture to no avail! I had mentioned it during the sermon.
Monday morning when I opened my front door to my surprise there sat a copy of it on my doorstep. I asked everyone who was at the church meeting; none of them had placed the framed picture by our door! The Lord told someone to come to my house and put it there. It was exactly the same print and just as old. I cried for an hour after finding that picture.
I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for my heritage. I grew up in a family that prays and believes Jesus is God and answers prayer. I am so grateful that the path to Jesus was laid out before me. I had a Mother and Grandmother who prayed daily.
The Apostle Paul spoke of such faith being passed down from one generation to another in the following passage: “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.” 2 Timothy 1:5
Keep praying even though you don’t think the situation is changing. Jesus answers prayer. Keep pointing your children down the right path.
