Your Best Choices

Matthew 11:28-30, come to me all you who labor and our heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

When we wake up in the morning, most of us don’t think about choices or decisions that we will have to make that day. Most of those decisions will require an immediate response. How do we make the right decision?

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

The answer is simple, take it to God in Prayer. If you put the meaning of these verses together, you see how our lord loves us, and wants to help us. He knows what we will face every minute of every day. Our father loves us and wants us to be successful and happy.

There are lessons for us in the Old Testament that still apply today. Even King David learned to ask God before he did anything. You can look at all the great names in the Old Testament, and you will find anything they did without asking God, turned out to be a complete disaster.

God wants to carry our burdens. It makes sense that what He offered, He will do. He cannot lie! Believe me, I learned the hard way to commit whatever I do to the Lord in prayer.

Psalm 37: 4-5, delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will act.

Once you get in the habit of asking the Lord for help for each individual task you have, even if you think you know what or how to do it, it will become automatic. I found myself asking for the help of the Holy Spirit as I was doing whatever I was working on. I am convinced there were many times that I could not see the way to make things turn out right, but after asking Him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the answer just popped into my head. At this point in my life, I am so convinced of what I am saying that I would not dare to do anything without asking the Lord for help first. All you must do is say Holy Spirit in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ please show me what to do. He always answers. 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; 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!

Talking To God

Psalm 145:18-20, The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

When you mention the name of Jesus Christ, the majority associate Him with religion. The sad part is they usually refuse to say why, and quickly change the subject.

These are the facts as I understand them. Everyone gets an invitation from God the Father to come to Him, but most don’t hear Him, because they are caught up in the things of the world. Some other reasons could be, and I have heard this many times people feel they are beyond redemption for all the things they have done in their lives. Other people feel they don’t know how or even want to come close to God for their own personal reasons. I think this is a big mistake.

First off, Christianity is a relationship with God, and religion is a set of man-made rules and rituals that keep many people from really knowing God.

When God invites someone to be saved, He already knows what they have done. He knows every Sin no matter how terrible they were. He just wants people to come to Him because they are His children. The Lord Jesus Christ already paid for your sins, so all you must do is accept His gift of salvation, and when you do you become righteous in God’s eyes, which means you can go right to Him, without some kind of middleman.

God wants to talk to you the way a loving father would talk to his son or daughter. Prayers from your heart, telling Him about everything on your mind and what is in your heart, without fear of condemnation. He already knows all this stuff, but it is a chance for you to get things off your chest.

1 Thessalonians 5: 17, pray without ceasing.

So, the idea of an honest conversation with our Father is in effect a prayer. A prayer relationship with God, becomes something to look forward to. If you ever saw the movie Fiddler on the Roof it will become obvious that the main character talks to God all day long. I think that is an example of praying without ceasing.

Believe me talking to God gives you peace, answers, and makes your day. He really hears you because you are His child. It’s a wonderful experience because you can just relax and talk to Him without any fear of condemnation, knowing that He hears everything you’re telling Him because He cares for you.

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

Romans 8:26, likewise the spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

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

Don’t Miss Out

Matthew 7:7-8, Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock and the door will open to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks the door will be opened.

To most people today, the world looks like a Hollywood horror movie on steroids. There is evil even they can’t dream up.

It is a fact that everything we do has consequences. The problem is, almost everything we hear is lies from people in every walk of life. Politicians and the media are the worst. You can’t lead a good peaceful God-fearing life by believing everything you see or hear.

Scoff at the idea that satan is after your soul, but do so at your own Peril. There is a God who created us, and satan who rejected God. Each of us picks God or satan whether we believe in an afterlife or not.

As we have said dozens of times, the Bible is the inspired word of God. The Bible says God hates sin. Going against God’s word is sin. Remember, sin is what God says it is, not what we think it is.

Did you know that following laws and people that break God’s laws is sin. Following peers that flaunt what the Bible says is sin and damnation.

Now for the part you don’t want to miss.

1 Peter 5:7, Casting all your cares on Him because He cares for you.

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

When you have Jesus in your heart the blessings come even before you ask. Sometimes blessings come like a flood that will overwhelm you.

John 14: 27, peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; managed the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither Let It Be Afraid.

John 16:33, these things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Go to a private place. Call on God in your own words ask Him to show you the way. Say the Prayer of Salvation with all your heart and enjoy the peace that follows.

Philippians 4: 7, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus.

Romans 8: 28, and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Believe and receive in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 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

Make Your Own World

John 15:19, If you were of the world, the world would love its own, yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 

The world has changed drastically in the last dozen years or so. Many people are asking if we are living in the biblical end times. I don’t think we are there yet, even though each day seems worse than the day before.

2 Timothy 3:1-5, Nothing happens that God didn’t allow. Every day someone asks how a loving God could allow what happens all around us. Only God knows why, how bad, and how long before Eternal Justice happens.

Psalm 34:4, I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

If we are true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can have an island of peace right where we live. One thing that believers do is they believe what the Lord says, regardless of how things are.

When people are afraid, they tend to make decisions that are foolish and costly. Fear is satan’s greatest weapon. When the tribulation starts, satan will crank up the fear. He will cause millions of people to spend eternity in hell. He will do it to people who are practically paralyzed with fear.

People from everywhere will seek his protection because they believe the lie. People who do not reject Jesus however have a chance to the very end to be forgiven.

Some people I know have created their own little worlds. Most of them have jobs and do not avoid people, especially those who need help. When they are at home, they avoid lies, and fear mongering media. They start their day by committing all they do for the honor and glory of God.

God knows everything that goes on. If the apostles believed what Jesus taught, they probably would have spent a peaceful quiet night and not out in the storm in a boat about ready to sink.

Life is like one second of time in billions and billions of years in eternity. One thing I like to do, I sit down with my coffee, then imagine Jesus Himself sitting on the couch. I have a talk with Him because he’s the one I go to with everything. It is relaxing because he is my best friend. I can tell him anything that’s in my heart and I know He listens, and He understands. I ask for his help in everything, every day including things I think I know.

I think if you would consider trying it and trusting God and give all your cares to Him, He will come through for you. One thing you will find out is if you have your little chat with the Lord whether you have coffee or not you will feel His presence.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

And 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!

What Is Our Role

2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction and righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Many Believers live under the illusion that God is some sort of Genie. Ask, sit back and wait. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s examine what is supposed to happen.

John 14: 12-14, most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 

From this verse we see that Jesus not only expected His followers to do as He did, but He also commanded them.  As a matter of fact, God the Father sent the Lord Jesus Christ to us, with a specific mission here.

We are Jesus hands and feet on this Earth. We are to reflect Jesus’ light to everyone we meet. Don’t forget, Jesus didn’t just sit back and pronounce healing from headquarters. Jesus went out and taught people how to live. Jesus said be healed, or your sins are forgiven, but it did not happen until the person did their part.

John 15: 26, but when the helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

One other thing worth mentioning. The Bible is an instruction book that includes teaching us how to avoid the pitfalls that satan puts out there for us. I know I keep pushing some knowledge of the Bible, but it is vital. If it wasn’t vital for us to know, why would satan know the whole Bible and twist it to his advantage in order to destroy the people of God? God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves You.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Is Let God Do It Real

1 Peter 5:6-7, Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in time, casting all your cares upon Him, for he cares for you.

Many people have heard this verse and doubt the truth of it. Obviously, the decision to believe it or not is up to each person. As with anything, however, there is a catch. You must believe it for it to be true.

To start off with, this is not a Prosperity lecture. The Bible is true because God cannot lie. Hundreds of prophecies, written by dozens of prophets, hundreds of years before the Lord Jesus Christ have been fulfilled exactly as foretold.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-3, Finally Brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

I believe everything I write is inspired by the Holy Spirit. To be totally honest, getting to the point where the verses are real usually takes time. The amount of time is in relation to your prayers, listening for God in your heart, and yes, Faith as a child.

You probably heard sometime in your life, that everything you have belongs to God. Everything means everything. Your life, your job, your time, everything God gave you to take care of on this Earth. Don’t forget, he could take it back if He wanted to. But He loves you too much to do that.

Life is a test. God gave us life with the idea that since he loved us so much, He wanted us to have a great life, and spend eternity with Him. He is doing and allowing different experiences to see us reach our best. At the same time, we see who we really are.

When we reach the level and Faith where we are ready for the magnificent changes in our life, the Holy Spirit was always with us, and will direct our moves to fulfill God’s plan.

As I often do, here are a couple of my experiences. They are true descriptions of actual events. I have always heard you can’t outgive God. You know the old story about 100%, or even 500% return from God. How’s that possible?

The Holy Spirit put on my heart to give a beggar on the street $20. A few days later an 800-dollar commitment was canceled by the seller to my advantage.

Our roof was leaking in my office, so I asked the Lord to send someone to repair it. I also asked the Lord to send him now, at a good price, do a good job, and do it today. Well praise the Lord, it all happened exactly as I asked the day the man arrived. How can you possibly think it’s anything but the Lord?

Remember this. If you give your time, help someone, or give money, you will find it is impossible to outgive your God. As you trust Him you are praising and showing Him love, that a human is not capable of doing in any way.

1 Timothy 6:11, but you, oh man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, Godliness Family Faith, love, patience, gentleness.

So, you see my friends, nothing is impossible with the Lord. If you want a full blessed life, take the time to find out who the giver of that life is. If the Bible says You must believe as a child, ditch your pride and be as a child to your Heavenly Father. You will never regret it, because eternity is an awful long time and it has no end. May 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 received the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

God's Promises Sunday

Role Of Christians Today

Deuteronomy 32:2-3, Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distills as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass. For I proclaim the name of the Lord; ascribe greatness to our God.

With the condition of our country the way it is, we may well be asking ourselves, how did this happen? There are many reasons for what we are experiencing. It began in earnest in the 1960s.

I will begin by using non-denominational churches, as an example for most churches. Almost every Church you go into is run by a board of members of the church. It looks like that’s where the real power lays. The pastors are sometimes coerced by the board who are concerned with not offending anyone, and not losing members. Very few pastors therefore stick to and teach the Bible.

It never occurs to most of these pastors, that they are not doing God’s work. Many members do not attend regularly. This was interpreted as alienating people by not adapting to what society was preaching and practicing.

While all of this is going on week after week, people lose hope and start staying away. So, ask yourself, how can I help turn the church around and at the same time affect the country for the good of everyone?

Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for me. Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Well, my friends, it all starts with us. Get familiar with the Bible. Insist that your pastor teach and follow what God Says in that Bible. After all of what you and other Christians do, if the pastor is still not teaching the word of God, find a church that does.

The next thing is, vote for people who will follow what God says, not what satan says. If the people in office do not represent you and your values, next election, vote for someone else.

In the 2020 election, it is reported that about 20 million evangelicals did not vote. You cannot have a prosperous Godly country without some effort. That means we should all vote our conscience.

Many people do not realize what we have today, started many generations ago because of the way children were raised. Generations pass good or bad to the next generation.

Proverbs 22: 6, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

One little extra most of us probably didn’t realize. According to the Bible, a country that rejects God, and sheds innocent blood, produces three results. 1) rulers that hate us. Psalm 106: 35-42, 2) laws that enslave us, Ezekiel 20: 24 -25, 3) our rights are taken away, Isaiah 5:20, 23, 24 B.

So, you have it right there in a nutshell. This country was formed as a Christian Nation. Generations of Americans spent their time, their energy, and their fortunes, and an unimaginable amount of blood to make this country free. The least we could do is to do whatever we can in our power to keep it free. By the grace of God, we will do it.

2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL CHRISTIANS !!!!!

 God bless you and your family, Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

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!

Choice

Psalm 115:4-8, Their Idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear; noses they have, but they do not smell; they have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat. Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.

Not many people believe or accept the fact that each person creates his own future. Let’s give a few examples of how this works up for scrutiny.

A classic example is an athlete. Like any other profession, the athlete sets a goal he or she considers realistic. They then come up with a plan to achieve that goal.

Most athletes realize that their goal may require them to sacrifice whatever it takes to reach that goal. Their sport or pursuit of it can become their whole life. They think about the goal 24 hours a day. They adjust or eliminate anything in their life that could put the goal in jeopardy.

This scenario can apply to everything. Whether education, hard work, politics, or whatever you can name, it has a price. Does your dream control you, or do you control it?

Even our attitudes such as happiness, depression, and everything in between, are as powerful as we allow them to be. In other words, everything in life is a choice, and how the result affects us is also our choice.

Consider this. The average lifespan of a human is 80 years. Eternity on the other hand is a number followed by an infinite number of zeros. Both will happen to each of us. Have you ever thought about it? Many people do not accept the idea, and figure if they denied it, it will not happen. Denial does not change truth. Two plus two equals four no matter how much someone denies it.

The wisest solution to achieve success is to bring the Lord Jesus Christ into your life. The fact that the world is as you see it, testifies to the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is missing from our hearts.

The New Testament, and NLT version, explains God’s plan to us in easy-to-understand language. I will tell you this for a fact. Jesus will fill that emptiness you feel in your heart. Make our Lord Jesus Christ number one in your life, and you will win in every way.

Philippians 4: 13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philippians 4: 19, and my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

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

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; 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

Where Do You Stand

2 Chronicles 7: 14, If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

In these troubled times, it is easy to see how most of the people are suffering with fear and depression. All the uncertainty, fear, violence and crime is caused by people who are dedicated to what they are doing. They use their cumulative brain power to find new ways to gain power over anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

The people who are being controlled, allow what is going on. That may upset you but read on.

The United States was formed as a republic. In a republic the supreme power is the people and their elected representatives. It also has an elected president.

If the people for whatever reason do not do what they are responsible for, you get what we have. Being a citizen is an awesome responsibility, you can’t just sit back and let somebody else make the decisions for you.

If we want a free and prosperous country, we must bring God back. Get out and vote. Know who you are voting for. If you’re elected representatives do not represent your values, vote for someone else.

People who run for office should be alive at election time. (No dead voters or candidates) when they tell you about what they are going to do to you, BELIEVE THEM! 

Thomas Jefferson said, “the government you elect is the government you deserve.”

Each of us must do our part for this country. If we don’t, we won’t have a country.

Deuteronomy 4:7-9, For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I have set before you this day? Only take heed yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, unless they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren.

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!

Resurrection: The Beginning

2 Corinthians 6:2, In a favorable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation, I have helped you.

Since the time of the resurrection of Jesus people have questioned the Bible and its accuracy. They have as one of their favorite arguments, that the Bible was wrong about the number of days that Jesus was dead. Well guess what, the Bible is correct. The Hebrews used to call a part of a day as a whole day. Friday was the first day, the Sabbath was the second, and even if Jesus rose one minute after midnight on Sunday, it was still the third day.

History reports thousands of Christians dying for their faith. Ask yourself this. Would men die for a fairy tale? Would you be that convinced if you were a witness? When Jesus rose from the dead, over 500 people saw Him. Do yourself a favor, and stop believing what the world says is true, because the world is all wrong. The fact is the world is perishing and most of its inhabitants are going with it.

Jesus conquered death, and in the process, He conquered satan. Because of this, we gain eternal life through Jesus, and our souls are taken back from satan who stole them from Adam and Eve. If not for what Jesus did, we would all be spending eternity in hell.

When you really stop to think about it, the most significant events in all of history whether you agree with it or not, we have to look at Christmas, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, of Jesus. All three of these had an impact on the future of man. Without all three, all men would be condemned. What is more important than these events.

Just as a reminder, Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Because of God’s love for us, the kind of love we could never understand in the human mind, we will have eternity with Him. The best way to thank God and praise Him, is to have faith and trust in His word.

Resurrection Day should be celebrated with song, worship, and praise, because by Jesus rising from the dead, we have eternal life too. We were dead in sin, but now we are alive in Christ. Hallelujah!

God bless you and your family.

Why Is It Good Friday

Isaiah 53:3-5, He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Many people do not realize just how bad the whole process of crucifixion can be. It was the Romans’ favorite form of execution for non-Roman citizens. Let me briefly describe the process.

Before a person was crucified, it was normal practice for them to be scourged. Scourging involved a whip with nine long pieces of leather, each piece of leather had pieces of bone and even some metal embedded in it. It was a form of cat of nine tails. When a person was whipped the idea is that they would swing the whip hard enough to get the pieces of bone to penetrate the skin and then the person whipping would jerk sharply tearing skin and muscle from the poor victim’s body.

The Roman army in Israel, basically consisted of some of the worst there was. These so-called soldiers took great pleasure inflicting as much pain on the victim as they possibly could. They had it down to a science knowing how much damage they could do to the body without killing them outright. They wanted the victim to suffer as much as possible before they died.

Hebrews 12:2, Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

When I stop to think about that day, I have mixed emotions. I am horrified by what they did to Jesus, and deeply sad in my heart. At the same time I feel Joy, because of what Jesus did, I see his love. He paid a sin debt that none of us could pay and made our Salvation possible.

I believe Jesus’ life was prolonged in order to subject Him to the most humiliating, painful death possible. I also believe satan was allowed to do his worst in this ordeal. Jesus knew this would happen but He loved us so much He willingly and did it anyway. Just in case you didn’t realize it, without the crucifixion and Resurrection, salvation would not be possible, and everyone’s eternity would be in hell.

One fact that a lot of people don’t realize is true. It says in the Bible that Jesus sweat blood in the garden. Many people do not believe that that is possible. A medical condition known as hema tidrosis is the fusion of blood in perspiration, caused by extreme anguish or physical strain. Subcutaneous capillaries dilate and burst merging blood with sweat. Many people who suffered this problem died.

Another fact I say as a reminder, that Jesus knew everything that would happen to Him ahead of time so He basically suffered quite a bit before it even happened. 

Each lash was called a stripe. If you read Isaiah 53, you’ll see that by His stripes we are healed. His blood that was spilled forgave all our sins past, present, and future. He did it in our place, so we wouldn’t have to. 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

Incredible Prayer

Psalm 41:3, The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sick bed.

During our morning coffee, I was telling my wife about a picture that really touched my heart. I guess it made me feel that way, because it made me look at the last seven years.

In the last seven years, my wife had four surgeries and I have had three life or death surgeries, and about 10 procedures some of which were dangerous.

I tell you this as background. The picture was of Jesus standing next to a surgeon who was operating on someone. My wife and I have always asked our doctors if they were Christian and believed in Jesus. We just did it naturally because it made us feel good when they all answered in the affirmative.

So now you see why I love that picture. As we talked about all of this, the Holy Spirit put on my wife’s heart, that Jesus is always present in our prayers, and we should tell others. After a while we came up with the following way we are going to pray.

John 14: 13-14, and whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

When we start to pray, we close our eyes and ask our Heavenly Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to here our prayer, and bless who or what we are praying for. Then we thank him for the results.

The next step is to visualize the Lord Jesus, standing next to you or behind you with His hand on your shoulder, and your hand touching or pointing at what you are praying for.

Visualize that power passing through you the way electricity goes to a switch, and then to a lamp.

This may seem difficult or impossible, but just remember when the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are involved, our Heavenly Father acts. I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you do this. It may take some practice but nothing that’s worthwhile is easy and when you’re dealing with the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for the glory of our Heavenly Father absolutely nothing is impossible.

James 5: 15, the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

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

God’s Children

Matthew 18:6-7, But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.

God looks at all of us as children, because he created every single person, past, present, and future. The fact that our Father sent His only Son to us, to die for our sins in our place, should get you thinking about how much He loves us.

2 Timothy 3:13, but evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

God gave each of us free will. Jesus came to pay for our sins past present, and future. We get to decide where we spend eternity, with Jesus in Heaven or satan in hell.

What many people do not understand is the fact that if you lead another person to sin, it is an even bigger sin for you. If you lead another person to reject God, you are accountable to God. If you cause someone to sin against a child, or cause an innocent child to sin, you will bring God’s Wrath on you.

Remember this. God decides what is sin and what is not. We do not get to decide for ourselves. Everything is spelled out in the Bible. God says what he means and means what He says.

Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Simply put, God does not change with the times. His justice is perfect and applies to everyone the same. There are no favorites. The Bible is not to be changed to fit us; the Bible is what We are to change to. And remember no matter what you think, no one is without sin.

When you look at the world around you and everything that is going on, especially all the sin against God Himself, and the rejection of God, it is hard to believe that God loves us so much that Jesus died for everything that happened in the past in the present and the future.

Even though someone rejects God, God does not reject them. Think about this, most of us would not consider suicide because that would be murder of the body that God gave us. That is not a solution. When you reject God, you are committing spiritual suicide, and you will end up in a place that you are not going to like, and it will be forever.

So, my friends stop and think about how much God loves you. Check out His word the Bible. Look around at the world, then look at yourself with a clear mind and see where you stand.

So, as I said many times in the past, you and no one else decides where you spend eternity. Since no one is without sin, it makes sense that you and I are also guilty no matter what we think.  God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

2  Chronicles 7: 14,  If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
