An Empty Space

Job 15: 31-32, let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his payment. it will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not be green.

If you are like most people, you experience an occasional period of time where you feel a certain kind of emptiness in your being. That's the kind of emptiness that you are unable to fill on your own. It is at times like this that you should go to your Bible and see what the word of God has to say.

Matthew 11: 28-29, come to Me, all who labor and are 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.

The number one thing to remember at a time like this is you are not alone. Did it ever occur to you that times like this happen because it might be the Holy Spirit telling you that you have not talked to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a long time?

Jeremiah 29: 11, for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

It is important to remember that times like this can also occur because satan is trying to take over in your life. If you fill your heart with the word of God, talk to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and ask for help from the Holy Spirit, satan will flee.

Luke 11: 24-26, when the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Simply put, once you call on the Lord to help you, satan will leave. If however, you let it go with that and don't fill your heart and mind with the word of God, he will come back, and things will be worse.

As you have probably figured out by now the word of God is filled with verses about how much He loves you, how much He forgives, how much He helps. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ is greater than any problem or situation you can find yourself in.

Our Father God is waiting for you. He does not force Himself on anyone, but He does send little messages to our hearts. In the end it is all up to each one of us as to whether we will heed His word or continue on the wrong path.

Proverbs 14: 12, there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank You

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Goal, Eternal Life

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 eternal life.

The subject of eternal life is by its nature, very difficult for most people to think about. Many avoid it because of fear of death, and the fact that they don't know if there even is an afterlife, and if there is, where are they going.

 It's hard for some people to accept the fact that they are mortal and have no escaping eternity. Another outlook is one of total denial. Many people think that hell does not exist, and that everyone will go to Heaven. They choose to remain totally ignorant, or in denial about Jesus, because He is a hindrance to their lifestyle.

People convince themselves Jesus is not real, so therefore there are no consequences for their actions, and hell does not exist.

John 5:24, Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes in Him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life.

Then of course you have people that believe and say that God would not send anyone to hell, because He loves everybody. It's interesting that they say that about a God they don't even know. If they did know him, they would know how wrong they are because it is written in the Bible, which just happens to be the Word of God.

Romans 10: 13, for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

One of the biggest problems about eternity is the whole idea of it being forever. We as humans have no idea of what that means, because we have nothing to compare it to. Forever, just boggles the brain, because most people are afraid of the unknown. I don't think anyone has a real good idea of what forever really means except that it is forever.

Well, my friends it comes right down to this. You have a choice. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave you that choice. Follow Him, forget your ways, end up in a glorious place forever. You can know that now if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, there is nothing to fear, because you are on the right side of the question.

God Bless you and your family.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior.
