We dedicate this book to... And are so thankful for our Cleaning Lady; Patty, for her diligence in the cleaning of "God's House International" our ministry where we have Bible School where people come in to study The Holy Bible, God's Holy Word. We consider Patty a very important part of our ministry. People comment on how clean and neatly arranged everything is when they come in. Being in the cleaning business some 40 years ago, we still find ourselves going around the ministry, putting out a finger and running it over ledges and tops of furniture looking for dust... That is never there! We find ourselves checking down into the toilets looking to see if they have been properly cleaned and scrubbed... They always are! Even the little thing of the toilet paper rolls being rolled over the top and not under... Thank You Patty for such a Good Job and remember you are considered a big part of our ministry here at "God's House International."

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.

Gods Holy Word... The Holy Bible uses the word Together 486 times in 471 verses. But for this book Doing It Together we are only going to look at the verses where Jesus said the word Together. The first time is when He was talking about the parable of the tares or where good and bad are together. He goes on to explain that there is a day coming when they that are together will be separated.

We just finished mowing our Sister's yard, got into our car to drive the 2 miles to our home in the country. It's evening the sun is just setting in the west. On the car radio is Brother Chuck Swindoll. When I hear him say, "1/2 of the local church will be LEFT BEHIND in the rapture." I thought? Am I the only one who sees it? Am I the only one that Father God told that the number will be much greater than that? Am I the only one that Jesus... Has told that 3/4th will be LEFT BEHIND? Gods Holy Word? The Holy Bible uses the words LEFT BEHIND only 2 times in 2 verses. They are, The plague of darkness that says, Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. Exodus 10:26. Next the story of the Amalekites who spoil Ziklag, So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. 1 Samuel 30:9. Greetings Reader? Of this book. We are so glad you are here. You are about to experience a Divine Appointment with Almighty God! You may think this is a wild and outlandish statement? But it's true? Let us explain. It is no accident that you are reading this book right now. Someone is concerned about you and your eternal destiny. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have chosen to go to Heaven and those who have chosen to be LEFT BEHIND and go to Hell. If you are of the latter? Praise God because you have been chosen of Almighty God to be reading this book right now and to have one last chance to change your mind and go to Heaven to be with Father God.

PRAYER TIME 10-7-2012 4:38 PM - 5:25 PMHOME STUDY BIBLE SCHOOL… Where is it? I am very frustrated because I can't find my notes that we have already written in preparation for our BIBLE SCHOOL. Several years ago The Lord started us off with THE VILLAGE CARPENTER a home improvement business that started sometime in 1972. We worked this business through out the rest of our life along with many other businesses.Also being involved in Church and Sunday School as a Teacher of The Gospel. As we continued on… About 2003 we were on the World Wide Web and at the advise of a former business man… We added the words World Wide to our business… THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES.When Father God called us into full time ministry of publishing Christian Books… We added the words to our ministry… THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES AND PUBLISHING HOUSE. Along with this, Father God spoke and said, “They wouldn't read My Book… The Holy Bible… But they will read these little books.” He went on to instruct us as to how to build our, or should I say… His Web Site: THEVILLAGECARPENTER.INFO we also realized that there was a need to teach people about The Holy Bible.So we started putting together notes and other information to start organizing a Home Study Bible School. As we prayed about it… Father God impressed us with the fact, that the books we were publishing were Gospel Tools to be used for ministers to teach from along with The Holy Bible. God's Holy Word and our own Personal Testimony are the two most important tools to be using in this… Bible School.He told me today to call it: THE VILLAGE CARPENTER BIBLE SCHOOL. This is where the prayer time of today came into this picture. Do you like this picture that we are painting for you? You see… You are not reading this by accident… Somebody is concerned about your soul. During our prayer time today, 10-7-2012 at 4:38 PM I set my alarm to go off at 5:30 PM to get up for a radio broadcast today.I basically prayed, “…Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth...” from 1 Samuel 3:9. Again, this was at 4:38 PM. I tried to be quiet and say nothing. There are those who know me that would laugh at this because they think I can't keep my mouth shout! True as it is, I am trying to be still before Father God and just listen… Today at 5:25 PM He spoke and said, “Charles, You build it… The Souls will come and study My Word!”Amazed, I lay there in silence thinking about what I had just heard. Then at 5:30 PM my alarm went off and I had to get up for our Pastors translation of our guest, Sister Kenia from Cuba. Her and her husband are our Bishops in Cuba for The International Ministers Forum.She was being interviewed on WWSU FM Radio 106.9 streaming live on the World Wide Web. She speaks very little English and our Pastor David Swartz interpreted as she spoke. The program went on with music for an hour and a half or better. She was asked to preach a little for the radio audience, which she did with great power and authority. Obviously being moved by her message… The announcer asked her to pray for all that were listening. This Sister Kenia did with great power. Amen. Hallelujah!It is no accident that you are reading this book right now. Someone is concerned about you and your eternal destiny. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have chosen to go to Heaven and those who have chosen to go to Hell. If you are of the latter… Praise God because you have been chosen of Almighty God to be reading this book right now and to have one last chance to change your mind and go to Heaven to be with Father God.

My wife Joy and I first met back in May of 2010 when she was referred to us for publication of her first book. Over the first couple years we had published 4 books for Sister Joy. When she invited me to go to church with her, I had picked her up and we were driving west out of town. A couple blocks later I saw a sign that read, “Young At Heart” outside a rather large nice looking building.I asked Joy if that were a youth meeting place? She said, “No, that is a Senior Citizens Place.” I told her that it looked like a good place to have Bible Study and Prayer Meetings. She said they do have Bible Study there. That was about 3 years ago. Last August Joy and I were married and February of this year 2014 we were asked by one of the local ministers if we would have Bible Study at the Young At Heart building?We said we would be honored to do it. The 1st week, only Joy and I came to the Bible Study and Prayer Meeting. The 2nd and 3rd weeks were the same. We continued hoping the people who were at the building playing cards would see our consistency and join us as we did indeed invite them each week before we would start. We would meet for about 1½ hour each time.Then on the 4th week, Joys sister came to join us. About the 7th week Sister Nora was out of town in Florida and Joy and I were again the only ones there. This week The Lord prompted us to read the longest chapter in the Holy Bible. We did and Joy was surprised that it didn't take very long to read it… She would read and then I would read and we kept switching back and forth.After we discussed what we had just read, I explained how The Lord had me to publish The Book of Revelation to show that it is not that hard to read and to understand. We had no-more than read this longest chapter in the Holy Bible, discussed it and had our discussion about The Book of Revelation when again The Lord spoke to me and said, “Charles… Publish this chapter into a book and call it 119!”So… You are now reading the longest chapter in The Holy Bible and we hope you too see that it is not that hard to read the longest chapter and understand it. May we suggest that before you read this or any book in The Holy Bible or any other book about The Holy Bible, you would be well advised to pray first and ask the Author of The Book; The Holy Bible, to open your understanding and to allow you to become knowledgeable and give you wisdom as you read. We have done that for years and we learn each and every day. God does want us to read His Holy Word and He wants to teach us so very much!Now; almost 5 years later, we must continue to share these same thoughts with you the reader of this book. You see back then The Lord told us, “Charles… They wouldn't read My Big Book… But they will read your little books!” So we continue to publish books. To date we have published over 215 books and God brings us new author after new author.Your Book Could Be Next!You must understand… We are no one special. In the 1st grade of school, we were actually put in the corner of the room while the other kids were in reading circle. It seems I just could not read as a 1st grader. They even held me back for a 2nd year to try to help me to learn to read. I can still remember those troubling words,“Run Jack Run” and “See The Cat” and “See Billy Walk” but when I got to antidisestablishmentarianism… I was really lost! (Just kidding). I made it all the way to 6th grade and the teacher told my Mom, if I didn't go to summer school, I would fail the 7th grade. Well Praise God, He had other plans for me. I didn't fail the 7th grade and I didn't go to summer school either and made it through high school. Got a job at the local Air Force Base and 2 years later was drafted into the United States Army.In the 3rd grade, I saw a boy cheating on his spelling test. I watched several weeks and decided to try it myself. Well guess what happened? I didn't get caught either. My grade card reflected an improvement, I was off to the...

This book is dedicated to the family. You know who you are! We continue to love you! We continue to pray for you! We will see you in Heaven! This book is also dedicated to Natalie Forsythe; one of our authors, who 3 years ago gave our business card to Joy Renee' Blackburn; another one of our authors, who has since become my wife after we published 4 of her books. We continue to marvel at The Mighty Hand Of God as He continues to move in our ministry, The Village Carpenter World Wide Ministries, Publishing House and Bible School and now God's House International, which was founded by Sister Joy. God continues to show us that it is not age that He is concerned about... It is the obedience that we bring to Him as He continues to minister to us on a personal relationship so that we in turn can minister to others to bring them to Heaven with us. Dear Reader, We encourage you to seek for a personal relationship with Jesus who died on the cross and took all of our sins and covered them with His very own Blood so that we could be washed clean... To be white as snow, with out any condemnation. Amen. Hallelujah!

There is so much talk today about the taking of Christmas out of our society... Out of stores... And renaming the celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus... We as publishers decided to give a Christmas gift to all who will read this book... When we were younger... We would read the Christmas Story as we called it or the story of Jesus birth out of The Book of Luke in The Holy Bible to our children. This practice seems to be lacking in today's society... We feel that it is a need that every child should know this story and have it read to them from the youngest age... All the way as they grow up. So many will not even read their Bibles today... Maybe this will help by having this story put into book form so that maybe... Just maybe this practice will return... To The Glory of God, The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost! Enjoy this reading... With your children... At Christmas Eve... And throughout the year!
