Let God Do It

1 Peter 5:7, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

As we go through life, we are bombarded by problems and all kinds of information. We sort through this stuff in our minds and make reactive decisions about whether it’s junk or good information.

Ask any successful businessperson and they will tell you not to make decisions that are emotional, or decisions based on bad information. Get the real facts and make your decision based on how they apply in your business or life.

Would you be surprised if I told you that as much as 80% to 90% of the population, makes bad decisions most of the time? Most of this can be explained by just a few examples. When choices are made by reaction to something, emotion, haste, no facts and the like, they are set up for failure.

Since this is true in most cases, is there any hope of reversing these numbers? Believe It or not, there is a way available to anyone who is serious. The book of total truth tells us how. In case you’re wondering, I’m talking about the Bible.

Philippians 4:6-7, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, these verses tell you how to turn your life around. I mentioned being a follower of Jesus, because it requires total trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 3: 5-6, trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.

If you read all of these verses and meditate on them for as long as it takes, and as many times as it takes, you will change your life.

When you start your day giving the day and everything in it to the Lord in prayer, with Thanksgiving, then go about your day with a sincere thank you Lord Jesus occasionally, you will witness dramatic results. Praising the Lord every now and then for what he has done for you and continues to do for you, including salvation, seems appropriate. When you trust in the Lord and stay out of His way He can work in your life. When you try to do it your way, He just steps back and lets your Folly happen. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I repent those sins and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Mercy Without Limit

Matthew 5:7, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain Mercy.

As I sat thinking about, and talking to Jesus, I had a sudden reminder of our Father God’s love and mercy. We should stop and think of the history of man.

Before there was anything, God planned and foresaw everything that made up His plan. It was not a surprise to Him how things would turn out with His creation.

Ephesians 2 :8-9, for by Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Matthew 9:13, but go and learn what this means; I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous but Sinners, to repentance.

God saw that man’s sins were going to be at such a level that man could not redeem himself. It would require the suffering, death, and resurrection of His only Son, who was totally sinless. The Lord Jesus Christ came to die and pay for all of our sins, past, present, and future.

God also knew that even though Jesus would lead a sinless life and perform many miracles, He would be hated for no reason for centuries to come.

Just for a moment put yourself in the situation the Lord Jesus was in. Jesus preached salvation every day to many people who did not and would not believe in Him.

Jesus healed many people. As He was doing His miracles and healings, He knew that most would not thank Him, as a matter of fact some of these people would be among those who would reject Him and scream for His blood. He loved and forgave them anyway. God saw the entire history of man. The evil you see all around you, is what He died to forgive. In John 3:16, we see that God in His Mercy didn’t want anyone to perish but to have eternal life.

You and I are among the Sinners Jesus came to die for. Let me ask you this question. Would you forgive someone who deliberately did something to hurt you. This person was a recipient of a kind act that you did for him that cost you something, and he spit in your face, and accused you of being the bad guy and worse. I think if we were completely honest about that question we would be unhappy with the answer we came up with.

The only thing Jesus wants from you, is you. Just repent and ask Him to be your savior. We are repenting of our sins in order for us to acknowledge that we are sinners, and that is why Jesus had to go to the cross. Many of us are convinced we are not sinners, but the answer is we are.

Hebrews 4: 16, let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find Grace to help in time of need.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

God's Promises Sunday

The Problem With Faith, In Jesus Name

John 15:7, If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what your desire, and it shall be done for you.

When you become a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ through salvation, you want to know more about Him. You want to serve Him, but you don’t know how.

When you read the Word of God, you begin to get an idea of who He is, and how the Lord Jesus moves in your life every day. When you get to the point where you start to really believe His words, you will probably experiment with prayer in a small way. You pray and hope. That is a part of learning and growing.

Romans 5: 8, but God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 At some point you will realize that your faith must be in Jesus. When you ask in Jesus’ name, you put all your trust in Jesus to fulfill His word, and then you get out of the way. Trust Jesus and start thanking Him for the results. You may be tempted to think about your prayer and not realize that you are running the risk of an unanswered prayer.

With persistence in the word, you will know that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you, has mercy on you, forgives your sins, and He is always with you. The only problem is you don’t know at what level. It is beyond our imagination.

Hebrews 4:16,  let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find Grace to help in time of need.

Then one day as you are talking to God, your heart feels like it is going to explode. You start to sob uncontrollably. And my friends you feel the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. A feeling of peace that you never felt before and could not imagine comes over you. You know your savior.

Your heart knows without doubt the word of God is true. Everything you asked Jesus is without a doubt in your mind. You now start to understand who Jesus is, what He does, and His relationship to you.

We will attempt in the coming messages, by the grace of God, and through the Holy Spirit, to help as many as are led by the Holy Spirit to find Jesus. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

The Other Place

Revelation 21:7-8,  he who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. But the Cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderer’s, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. Which is the second death.

When you read the book of Revelation, you see who is condemned to hell and why. The Book of Revelation is a warning to evildoers and hope for those who see the truth.

Obviously, we do not have the true description of hell because there are no eyewitnesses. We can put certain facts together from the Word of God, to get an idea of some of what it is like.

2 Peter 2:4,  for if God did not spare the Angels who sinned, but cast them down to Hell and delivered them to chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment.

Since God is not present, hell is such an intense darkness, it is impossible to start to describe. Those who end up there have spiritual bodies too. They will live forever.

Besides the incredible darkness, it is silent beyond comprehension. Everything they feel is magnified beyond measure, with no end in sight. You would probably feel a hundred or more demons ripping your flesh off. Because a spiritual body cannot be destroyed, the excruciating pain goes on, but the body is intact.

Revaluation 20:15, Anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.

Our lord Jesus Christ through His incredible love for us, allows us to get our names in The Book of Life. It is a free gift, salvation, but it requires repenting of our sins, accepting and knowing what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us, with all our hearts,

and we will be saved. Repenting means turning your ways around and follow Jesus. You cannot lose true salvation if you were sincere to begin with and follow the lord Jesus Christ.

These messages were not intended to scare anyone. They are intended to show us the situation that we have to make a choice about. It is a fact that I cannot back up everything the message contains, but if you read the Word of God you can see a lot of different things that if you put the facts together the picture would come out somewhat like described here.

Revelation is a book that can scare the heck out of you and show a terrible future for eternity, but at the same time it shows that we have a choice, and that Jesus loves us so much that He died for us.

John 3:16, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Now would be a good time to make the right decision, because no one knows when time will run out and the choice will be made for you, because you waited too long, and missed the free gift of eternal life.  God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of salvation. Thank you Lord Jesus!!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

A Vision Of Heaven

Psalm 27:1, The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall, I Fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Many people have tried to describe what Heaven is like. The best they could do is come up with some descriptions that match some of what we see in our daily lives to use as a reference point. Obviously, everything is conjecture.

We can assume Heaven is a place of unlimited peace and love. When a person gets there, he is more than likely overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. The light is our Lord Jesus Christ. If we didn’t have transformed bodies, I imagine we could not live the blink of an eye in time. I suspect that as in sunlight, only more so with the Lord as light, colors are indescribable. Colors we never saw, and in unbelievable intensity of color.

Because the light source is our Lord Jesus Christ, everything would be alive and reflecting His glory. Everywhere you would look, you would see beauty, love, and peace. Yes, I imagine you can see and feel God’s glory in everything!

Because everything would be pure. I believe we’re able to experience all this, because we are righteous through the work of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the family of God almighty because of His grace and love.

Think about this. By the grace of almighty God, our hearts, minds, and eyes were opened to our Lord Jesus Christ. Even though we do not understand or appreciate the full extent of all that Jesus did for us, He still loves us.

Even though we cannot love and praise Him as He deserves until we get to see Him in eternity, once again he still loves us. When we repent, ask Jesus to come into our hearts as our savior, we are acknowledging what He did for us.

The only sensible thing I could say about Heaven at this point since no one has ever been there and returned to tell us about it, it is beyond human description. Even if we went there and came back, I don’t think we’d be able to describe everything we saw and felt.

The only thing I can suggest at this point, is to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, repent, tell Him you know  He suffered and died and rose again to wash away all of your sins and to give you the gift of salvation. In doing this you will someday discover what Heaven is like in person. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me.  I acknowledge my sins, and I repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

God's Promises Sunday

Then And Now

Ephesians 2:8-9, For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

When Jesus was on this Earth, it was a totally different situation. People at that time knew about God, only through the religious leaders. Then as now, the truth was limited by personal interests.

The people saw Jesus as the son of a carpenter. The religious leaders of the day told everyone that Jesus was doing the works of satan. The question was, what should they believe? On one hand they heard what Jesus said and saw what He did. At the same time religious leaders tried to convince everyone that Jesus was evil.

Romans 10:9, If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

I tried to figure out what I would have believed if I lived then. Think about that. What would you believe? They were in a tough spot spiritually. If they followed Jesus, they would be persecuted and condemned by the religious leaders as well as fellow citizens.

Today we have the benefit of reading the Word of God as inspired by the Holy Spirit. The people who lived with Jesus and witnessed everything that the Holy Spirit helped them remember. What they saw and wrote was only the truth.

What an advantage we have today. We know the truth. The big question today however is, do we believe? Will our pride and superior education allow us to accept the truth? Do we understand what is at stake?

Matthew 7:21,  not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in Heaven.

To put it in a simple way, what this verse is telling us is if you really analyze it based on other parts that you read in the word, faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is a heart thing. If you don’t live the way a Christian should live, you must ask yourself if you really are a Christian. Knowing Jesus and believing in Him, is a lot different than knowing about Him. Just knowing about Him, does you no good.

You have more than likely heard descriptions of Heaven and hell. These descriptions are usually in the form we understand, such as streets paved with gold.

In the next two messages I will tell of Heaven, and hell. These messages are based on what I feel I was inspired to say. No one escapes eternity, the question is where will you be?

God bless you and your family.  Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Knowing Jesus

John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

This verse is mentioned more often than any other. I will go so far as to say, many who mentioned John 3:16 don’t even know what it says. They heard somebody else say it or they saw a sign at  a football game so they adopted it.

Ask yourself this question. How can Jesus who is one of the most recognized names in history be so loved and so hated by so many.

One of the biggest reasons for that is, so many people don’t really know Him. We are a world full of people that rely on Google, Facebook, and TikTok to tell us what to think about anything and everything.

John 1: 14, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His, glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father full of grace and truth.

Most people don’t realize how high the stakes are. We tend to have a herd mentality. If the leader jumps off the cliff, the rest of the herd will blindly follow.

Do not believe this theory about everyone goes to Heaven or there is no hell. Think about this. Even the person who does not know Jesus will figure out that Justice would refute that idea.

I realize that the Bible intimidates many people. Here is a suggestion. Go online and search for the free online Bible new King James Version. Go to the New Testament and look at the Gospel of John. He lived with Jesus and documented everything he saw. It’s an easy read. The thing is you must really think about it.

In the next couple of messages, we will try to make possible outcomes of following Jesus, or following satan, clear and easy so the decision you make is yours not someone else’s.

Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Words Are Power

Ephesians 4:29, Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

If you talk to an obese person, sooner or later you will see how unhappy they are. I’ve had dozens of people say that they had a weight problem since they were young. They had a parent or other relative telling them that they are fat. They accepted that description and allowed it to mess up their whole lives.

There are many people that are unhappy because they bought the lie and accepted what other people thought of them. If that doesn’t give you an idea of the power of words especially to an impressionable young mind, then you’re really missing something.

Matthew 12: 36-37, but I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give accounting of it on the day of judgment. For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Consider this. Generational curses are the result of words and ideas passed down over many years. Things like, the whole family is a bunch of drunks. He is lazier than his lazy father was. He will never amount to anything. Does any of that sound familiar?

It is a fact that most generational curses can be stopped by refusing to accept the description you hear. I know a good number of people who broke the mold and did not accept someone’s Judgment of them.

It is Insidious how easy it is for satan to mess up people’s lives by what appears to be something said in a joking or silly way. An example like a parent calling their child clumsy, fat, dummy, and many other things they think are funny or harmless.

Remember this, words last for Generations. Good or bad satan makes very destructive words or actions, seem harmless. Choose your words carefully.

Proverbs 16: 24, Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ!

Don’t Help satan

1 Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

I know this probably feels almost insulting, but the truth is, many people are helping satan, and don’t even know it. How is that possible?

satan plays what they call a long game. It is true he likes to get as many as possible today, but the truth is, he is looking at the future for really big numbers.

2 Corinthians 11:3, But I fear, less somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Look at this way. satan tricks someone. They in turn get someone else. As time goes on, the first fallen person grows a crop of hundreds over time. The encouraging thing for us is this system works the other way too.

If we live a good example of a follower of Jesus, others will see and start to follow Jesus too. In the same way, one person starts a hundred over time.

Everyone has to start paying attention to the fact that satan is trying to get them. He tries to discourage, confuse, and insult, and falsely accuse. satan tries very hard to convince people that God is angry with them and has condemned them already.  satan is so convincing, that many of his targets do the same thing to others. So goes the long game.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4, But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God should shine on them.

Don’t miss an important fact. Whatever satan tells us, we can reject. We do not have to follow him or his words, let alone do what he tells us. Remember he’s the king of deceit.

Ask the Lord Jesus Christ, for the discernment and the strength to overcome in Jesus’s name. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

 Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Is Perfection Possible

Ecclesiastes 7: 20, Surely there is not a righteous man on Earth who does good and never sins. 

When the average person receives salvation, they get so excited that they want to do everything to please God. Great idea, but is it possible?

There are two ways to look at this. We can go the human way, and try to figure out what we should do to please God, or we can let God’s Word and the Holy Spirit guide us.

The best intentions usually fail. We think we can decide something and make it happen by force of our will. This would be like a newborn baby trying to run the marathon in the Olympics.

James 3:2,  for we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to Bridal his whole body.

The real fact is that salvation sets us on a walk with Jesus. He has infinite patience and will use us as we grow. He knows our hearts, and the sooner we realize that the better it will be.

As you go through life with Jesus, you’ll come to find out that you will learn something every day.  Jesus is taking us on a trip to Eternity, and time does not exist for him. He is looking for quality of our lives and in our hearts.

When I was saved, I thought I knew who I was. I could see why things turned out the way they did because Jesus was protecting me from myself. It took years for Him to get me to where I came to accept the truth about me, because He does not condemn us. It is a process that makes you grow.

 If you want everything that God wants for you, relax and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and walk with Jesus. Commit everything to Him in your life and you cannot go wrong.

 God bless you and your family.  Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Importance Of Forgiveness

Matthew 6:15, If you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for man to do, but one of the most important things to God. Let’s look at a few situations to get a good idea of what it is all about.

When people violate God’s specific laws, only God can forgive them. Only the love of God can forgive the most horrendous actions by people. We might get angry with the sinner, but what we should do is pray for them, and leave it to God.

Luke 6: 37, judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned, forgive, and you will be forgiven.

An interesting thing happens with people. We see a fault in someone else, especially if it affects us, and we find it very difficult to forgive. What we usually don’t see is the fact that we are often as guilty as the one we are angry at.

Ask yourself this. Would I like to have my standards apply to me? Do you judge yourself the way you judge others?

One more thing. Some see an insult, others don’t. Or what offends one, does not offend another. Each person’s sensitivity comes into play. The best bet is to forgive and walk away. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation

God's Promises Sunday

God Did It Right

Hebrews 11:3, By faith we understand that the Universe was created by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Before time existed, God Almighty created the universe. He put each piece of it in order and established how each would function. With each following instructions, there would be order instead of chaos and destruction.

When God created man, God knew that order was needed. God had a detailed plan for every person who would ever live. You might call it a set of rules.

There were rules each bit of creation had to follow. For instance, gravity. No exceptions. Everything behaved in a way that man could count on. The sun rose and set, because God said so.

When you think about it, there are countless trillions of cells for each item of creation, with each one having a special task to make the whole function and reproduce itself.

A tree is wood. Let’s assume man wants it plastic instead. He can make a plastic tree, but he will not have a real living tree. The laws as established by God through nature, cannot be changed, only adulterated to produce a fake.

The population of the world is eight billion people. If we go along with the idea that each person has their own version of Truth, how can we not destroy ourselves with more and more outrageous ideas and confusion? It is time to stop the craziness and follow God’s law.

If you want to have a rabbit with three ears, I suppose you might be able to add one with surgery. The ear would not function as designed and would not show up in the next generation. The whole point is man makes his feeble attempts to improve on what God did, but that is impossible because the laws of nature and God never change no matter what. It’s time to look at reality.

Psalm 33:6-9, By the word of the Lord, the Heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; the Lord puts the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord.  let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him!  For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus! 

Praise The Lord!

In The Garden

Psalm 23:1-6, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His namesake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, you’re rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

When Man was created, our creator put man in a garden. It was the ideal life in the ideal place. Everything was perfect. No sin, no sorrow, just the presence of God Himself and His pure love.

When sin came into the picture, man had to leave. What man found because of sin was the exact opposite of what he had known. The Earth was evil, and life was dangerous. God was distant.

Man has struggled ever since. When Jesus came on His rescue mission and died for our sins, when we repented and accepted Jesus as our savior, he made us right with God. We get another chance to get it right.

Since we always carry Jesus in our hearts, we can take advantage of the situation. Have you ever considered recreating the experience of the garden with Jesus in your heart.

Get away by yourself and talk to Jesus about everything in your heart. Soak in His love and light. Wallow in the beauty. Get your daily treat. Bridge the gap between here and there don’t let a day go by without Jesus.

Micah 6:8, He has told you, oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember, Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and I Repent of those sins and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. 

Praise The Lord!
