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.

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!

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

Doing Our Best

Mark 16:17-18, and these signs will follow those who believe; in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

These two verses either excite you, or you don’t believe. The truth of these verses is found in the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ said these words. If the Lord Jesus Christ said it, it is.

The first thing to consider is that the Lord will not give you a task to do, and not provide you with what it takes to accomplish His will.

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.

The reality is, not too many believers have the faith and kind of relationship with the Holy Spirit to do any of these things. It is possible however to grow our faith to this level, by getting as close to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as you can, and that is by reading and practicing a lifestyle that goes along with the word of God.

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

Father God considers the level of our faith and decides what He wants each of us to do. He looks at our hearts, and because of that, one who prays for others because that is the only thing they can do, is just as valuable as anyone else, including the old Bible Heroes. Another case where God meets you where you are.

Some people talk to others about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some are not led to do that, so they pray regularly for others, and some contribute to help others spread the word of salvation. Stand up for truth, be kind to others, help others by giving your time as well as money, and physically help even strangers, not just friends or family.

Ephesians 2:10, we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Roman’s 12:2, Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We are on this Earth to honor God Almighty no matter what the world acts like. If we believe and reflect the light of the Lord Jesus Christ, we will fulfill our mission on this earth and in our life. 

Sometimes it is hard to accept, but the situation in the world is allowed by God because it is going according to His plan. To complain about the situation of the world or our country is to go against the Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father. God bless you and your family Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

MEN MUST CHANGE

Romans 13:1-2, let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

When we look at the condition of the world, and our country in particular, most of us see corruption and evil taking over. We see it in the highest places and seek new leadership. These verses anger many people causing them to sin, but they are the truth. 

Let’s look at the facts. The Lord God Almighty created everything that is. When He created man, it was in the image of God. Almighty God gave man a free will. When the Lord God did that, He decided that He would never go against that free will or force anything.

Romans 12:2, and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As man populated the world, God saw that man needed someone to guide and control him on Earth or it would be a version of hell in a short time. Man needed protection from himself and other men.

When God appointed rulers over people the world over, He wanted them to govern according to Godly principles. Some did but many didn’t. Some rulers usurped God’s choice by working for satan.

Acts 5: 28-29, the high priest said to them, did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man’s blood on us! But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, we ought to obey God rather than men. 

 So, it seems we have a dilemma. God has a plan, and we cannot change it. Is there anything we can do? I’m glad you asked. This is where prayer comes in. Didn’t the Lord Jesus Christ say that anything you ask in His name, He will do, in order to glorify His Father?

1 Timothy 2:1-2, and therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence.

This verse spells it out. Prayer is conversation with God. We are to pray for a change of heart for ourselves and everyone else. We don’t just count on someone else to pray, we must pray with sincere hearts. We must also do our civic duty and vote for leaders that will uphold Godly principles.

It is also our duty to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit by identifying right and wrong in us and those we elect. Only the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit can change men’s Hearts. The Holy Spirit, if followed, can help us be a part of the solution, and not the problem. Just ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you may be surprised if you don’t already know him. God bless you and your family Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

Each Day A Celebration

Psalm 118:24, this is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Did you know that this Psalm is the absolute truth? I must admit that for many years I never realized the real meaning of this verse.

Today is a fresh start, the beginning of the rest of your life. If your life before this day was stressful, depressing, today is a chance to start over in a new direction. The past does serve as a reminder of what not to do and what you need to change.

When the Lord Jesus Christ comes into your heart as your personal savior it is exciting. Once that happens, each day can be a celebration.

2 Corinthians 5:17, And therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

 I mentioned this way to start the day a couple of times in the past, but I am repeating it for this message. Before you get out of bed commit your day to the will and plan of Almighty God. Ask Him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to take total charge of your life, and to make all decisions.  Don’t be afraid it will work out great, I found that out the hard way by seeing how much I didn’t know.

You don’t know what will happen each day, but the Lord does. Almighty God knows what is in your heart and what will bless you. He lines everything up and it’s so subtle that you probably won’t get the full impact until your prayer of thanks at bedtime.

Remember, God wants to bless you and make you happy. He will put Desires in your heart and make them happen if you trust in Him. No one has a better plan than the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about it. God always does more.

I have found over the years that a good habit to have is to talk to the Holy Spirit all through the day. If you ever saw the movie Fiddler on the Roof, you know what I mean.

 God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Guilty Or Not

Proverbs 28:4, Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.

Breaking the law is an interesting thing to talk about. Let’s say someone steals a car and picks up a friend to go on a joyride. In the eyes of the law both people are guilty.

When a government makes laws, we should follow them. If the laws contradict the laws of God, we should follow God’s law. Following what is against God’s law because civil law says it’s okay, does not change God’s law.

Mark 9:42, Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

When we cause others to sin, our guilt is even greater, because the sin chain will grow from one to another.  Each person we cause to sin can end up being dozens, or hundreds of others that count against us.

Almighty God loves children. Shooting a 10-year-old child is murder, so is killing them in the womb. There is no difference in God’s eyes. His opinion does not change. Pushing this practice on others can cause guilt of millions, on the souls of those who try to convince others that it is ok because the law says so. This would also include those who pass the law, and fight to enforce it.

Exodus 20:13, You shall not murder.

God’s law is God’s law. It has nothing to do with prejudice or hate. If you love someone you shouldn’t lie to them in order to make them, feel good. You would be an accomplice. Remember this when we accept or condone anything that is against God’s law, we are equally guilty. If you have any doubt about anything, stay in God’s word and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

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

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen.

God's Promises Sunday

A Cataract

     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. 

This title may seem kind of strange to many people. Bear with me and read on, to get a better idea of what we face.

When I reached middle age, I started to notice that my vision was slowly getting worse. I started to think it was an age issue, because I knew some people that started to wear glasses.

It finally reached the point that I was even having trouble reading. I went to an ophthalmologist and found out I had cataracts and needed surgery. After the cataracts were removed, I was astounded by how well I could see. In my entire life I never was able to see so good.

1 Corinthians 2:14, but the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.

As is normal during our daily prayer time, a thought came to me that seemed important. You may agree or not, it is naturally your choice.

The entire world, and the vast majority of people are covered in a spiritual cataract. satan put these there to keep us from seeing the truth. People don’t realize that they are not seeing the truth because everyone has their own opinion of what truth is.

The cataracts satan created are in fact a heart issue. The only way to remove these cataracts and see the truth is to call on the Lord Jesus Christ. 

When we call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit starts to remove these spiritual barriers. We start to see the good and the evil.

The Holy Spirit gives us the discernment we need to tell the difference between the two. Since the barriers are spiritual, they can only be removed in the lives of those who call on the Lord Jesus Christ. Stay in the word and grow in faith.

satan will always construct and replace these spiritual barriers so that the unwary will be deceived. If you are saved, count on the Holy Spirit who will always help you to see the truth.

Ephesians 4:18, This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who being past feeling have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

God bless you and your family.  Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of those sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen.

The Truth About Miracles

Mark 16:17-18, And these signs will follow those who believe; and in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

Most people do not believe in miracles and that is a fact. First let us look at the definition of Miracles. A surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a Divine agency.

The most obvious examples of Miracles is the creation of the universe, trillions, and trillions of stars and planets, all put in place and following the instructions of the creator. Order, not chaos.

Acts 19:11-12, Now God worked unusual Miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Think about the Earth, and how every bit of it was designed to support all forms of Life. If you look at all the forms of life, we are talking about trillions upon trillions upon trillions of individual cells, each designed to do its part to make every living thing function and reproduce itself. Man, and all his science cannot create even one cell of any kind that will do that. To me this is positive evidence of a Divine Creator.

Luke 1:37, For with God, nothing will be impossible.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was on this Earth, He healed the sick, made the blind see, the deaf hear, and all other sorts of things that no one else could do, including raising the dead. 

John 4:48, Then Jesus said to him, unless you people see signs and wonders you will by no means believe.

Why would anyone doubt that the Creator of the universe could do these simple miracles? When the Lord Jesus was here, He empowered His Apostles to work miracles and to teach salvation.

After the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, and before He ascended to Heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to enable them to do what He did and more. 

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.

All miracles are not spectacular in our human’s minds, but they are still miracles. One more thing that I have been blessed to understand. Prayers are always answered, usually after waiting. In a life-threatening situation, the Lord God Almighty acts immediately to save us. He is always looking out for us. Every day, we pray Psalm 91 for me, my family, and everyone we pray for. If you don’t believe miracles happen, the chances are you will never see one.

 God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Watchman On The Wall

Ezekiel 32:7-9, So you son of man; I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore, you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, oh wicked man, you will surely die! And you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

As far back as the history of man goes, every group of people had watchmen, or lookouts, guards, whatever you want to call them. The job of a watchman was to stay awake while everyone else slept.

This system worked very well as the watchman stayed awake and warned the people. When the people took the warning seriously, they were saved. If the watchman fell asleep, and the people had no warning, they perished.

Isaiah 62: 6, I have set watchman on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace, day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent. 

You may be wondering what this has to do with the times we are living in. Think about this. The prophets were God’s watchmen. They told people what God Almighty told them because God was holding them responsible.

In these times every Christian is a Watchman for the Lord God Almighty. If we don’t tell others about The Lord Jesus Christ and being saved through him, they will perish and that will be our fault. If however, we do our best to tell them about the Lord Jesus Christ and they ignore it or reject it they will perish, and it will be their fault.

Nehemiah 4:9, nevertheless we made our prayer to God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.

In Our Lifetime we can help people find Jesus. Even if only one is saved through our efforts, we did our job. The best place to start is our children and our family. Teach your children by reading bible stories to them and showing them by your example, by going to church, keeping your word, telling the truth.

A parent is a role model. The father is the spiritual head of the family. You are the Watchmen to guard their souls. Teach them to pray and believe. Your responsibility for the well-being and salvation of your children begins with you.

Going to church is a good thing to do with your children, but if your church is not teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ, it becomes your responsibility to continue teaching them the truth as Almighty God sees it.

Warn them about discerning truth from the lies that smother our world. Teach them to take what they hear and compare it to what God says, and not what government or media says. Tell them to rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. Pray with them. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior and I Repent of my sins. I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

Reality Of God’s Word

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.

We are living in times that test our faith. These times were prophesied in years past. This broken world was caused by sin, and satan can take credit for all of the evil because he causes it.

Is there anything believers can do about it? There is. It starts with the Bible. Most people do not realize that verses in the Bible apply to every generation, past, present, and future. If you don’t know the Bible, your trip through life will really be a challenge that you cannot overcome, because it is spiritual warfare.

James 1:12, blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

1Peter 5:6-8, Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

Pastors play a key role as they are Shepherds of the flocks of Jesus. It is their job to keep those in his or her care aware of anything in this world that goes against God’s word.

Truth in this world starts in the pulpit with the word of God. When you don’t have the truth, you will not do as you should. The Church must have courage to stand up for God and biblical principles.

It is not only the pastor’s job, but we also have the duty of due diligence. We can’t just sit back, do nothing, and complain that no one told us. Whether we want to or not, we must realize that the Bible is an instruction manual. Is a real-life guide to survival in a fallen World.

We trust all kinds of people with our lives and well-being, without giving it a second thought. We trust everyone that claims they are something. Pilots, doctors, the media, teachers, and so on. We don’t question, we just accept. We are inundated with lies every day, so we should pay attention to what we believe.

Why do we have such a hard time believing the Son of God? Why do we doubt Him, and don’t doubt anyone else? We cannot compare what we think or do to what God can do and how He thinks. Why is He challenged, and no one else?

We must follow the word of God even it doesn’t seem to make sense or possible to us. He does not see or think as we do, so when we start to compare what we think we are usually wrong.

Isaiah 55: 8-9, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways, My ways says the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 12:2, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen.

A Letter To Christians

 

1 Timothy 1-2, Therefore I exhort first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

If you look around at what is going on in this world, it’s easy to understand why people are afraid, stressed, and in despair. Let’s look at some facts.

The Lord God Almighty is in charge of everything. He allows what goes on among rulers and those who are ruled. It is all part of His plan which goes beyond just today.

Romans 13: 1-2, Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

Since people do not know God, they don’t receive His best. The Old Testament tells us that people strayed from God. When they got bad enough, He punished them to wake them up.

When the people woke up and repented, and followed God once again, He forgave them and blessed them. So why do people go through that cycle? It has been going on for thousands of years. satan starts working on people by promoting complacency, then things start to get out of hand, and good people say or do nothing, everything gets worse and worse.

As time goes on and things get worse no one notices, and many don’t even care. It goes on until the circle is complete. Think of how many times in history this cycle has been repeated all over the world.

We live in times that look a lot like the Book of Revelation. Is this another wake-up call? People think electing a new leader will fix everything. Sad to say but they are wrong, because only almighty God can get to the real root of the problem and fix it. Constant, sincere prayer moves Almighty God.

If you read the story of Jonah you will discover that the city of Nineveh was ready for destruction but when the king and all the people repented, God spared them.

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.

That’s right. If everyone repented, and lived according to God’s will, he will forgive, and we will have a better life. After we are forgiven though, we must remind each other to keep on praying for God’s Saving Grace and to not fall back into satan’s trap.

If almighty God is not in our lives, don’t be surprised if we are destroyed. We are here to serve Him, but we get abundant blessings, peace, and happiness in return, as well as eternity with Him. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank You and Praise You for what You did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
