My Time With Jesus Tuesday

 

Is It Too Late

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.

Many people are asking if we are in the end times. Many others are asking if it is too late. The Bible tells us that only the Father knows when the end of time will occur.

The Book of Revelation tells us what to expect in the final days. We can guess as much as we want and we will always be wrong. God is so loving and merciful, we can never know when or what will cause almighty God to say enough is enough. There is no reason to fear if you are saved.

I believe that the Book of Revelation also serves as a wake up call. It is a list of things we should use to determine to some extent how we stand with our Father God.

We can look at any government in the world, from the top all the way down to the lowest level in the smallest places,and see the same thing. Every sin you can imagine is not only pushed on people and glorified, it leaves God out of everything.

Representatives of the people as they call themselves do not represent the people, they serve themselves. Evil, corruption, lies, in government and media, allow them to control everything they possibly can. Laws are ignored and justice no longer exists.

Is it too late? The only way anything will change, is when people repent and trust in God. If you did a bad job, or didn't follow the rules, you would be fired. It therefore seems logical to fire politicians and not support the liars in the media. From the lowest level to the highest, hold them accountable to do what God's people want.

If Godly principles are ignored or not accepted, pray, and fire evil people by voting for someone that is good and will follow biblical principles. If you can't vote for some reason pray every day. No matter who says the Bible is wrong, ignore them and pray even more

Acts 5:29, But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: we ought to obey God rather than men.

1 Timothy 2:1-4, Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving 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. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior, or desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth

Proverbs 22:27-28, all the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the Nations shall worship before you. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the Nations.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

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 and be 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

 

What God               Wants From You

1 Corinthians 10:31, therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

If you are like most believers, you wonder what can I do to please almighty God? What should I not do? How do I know for sure if I am pleasing God? The answer is simple, but can be difficult. There are many answers in the Bible, but we will look at a few.

Almighty God created us to love and serve Him. There are many ways we can know for sure if we are placing Him. A good place to start is by realizing that He wants us to rely on Him as our source for absolutely everything.

When we trust in Him, we are not only pleasing Him, but we are at the same time praising Him. There are many stories in the Bible that tell us that when the people consulted God, and followed what He said, they were successful. When they didn't they failed.

That is a good place to start. We received the Holy Spirit when we were saved. Therefore if we commit ourselves and our work to Almighty God, and ask the Holy Spirit to help and lead us, we will receive it. It never fails.

Deuteronomy 10: 12-13, And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the Commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good.

When the Israelites were going to war, they foolishly looked to others to help them. When they did their allies failed them and they lost. If they looked to almighty God first the battle was theirs. It stands to reason that one of the wisest things we could do, is to look at the Bible as a history book.

It is a good idea for us to talk to the Holy Spirit about what we want to do, and trust in Him to help us to do the right thing, He will not let us down. It may not be the way we plan on getting it done, but the fact is His ways are better. That my friends is what learning from history is all about. The Bible is a history book of of right and wrong. 

Ecclesiastes 1:9, that which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

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

What will never change as far as humanity goes. The same mistakes are made over and over. The reasons generally are pride, arrogance, and a search for power. Each of us individually, can learn the truth and not repeat the failures. Enjoy life and be a winner through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 37:5,  commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

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. 

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!

Survival

Matthew 24:42, Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

We have all heard of the power of words. It is almost impossible to speak the right words by our own efforts. Words start in the heart. The situation in the world at the present time is a battle between good and evil.

  

2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Ephesians 2: 1-2,  and you he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sin, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

God's word is true. Those who follow Almighty God's word as written in the Bible, and are saved, know the difference between right and wrong. As someone once said, the Bible is like having tomorrow's newspaper. No surprises if we have discernment.

Evil is epitomized by satan. satan is the father of evil, lies and deceit are his trademarks. He entices people by making sin, pleasurable, and easy. No accountability to God or anyone else. You think you are leading a self-directed life, but you are following satan when you follow the world.

Matthew 24:11-13, then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many and because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Each of us must be aware of a simple truth mentioned in the Bible, that people may have not heard too much about. That simple truth is, you can get so involved with sin in your heart, that you will be deceived. You will be unable to see the truth if you persist, with your sinful ways.

1 john 5:19, We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

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 Jesus Christ.

The time is now. None of us knows if we will be alive 10 seconds from now. Salvation is at hand for every one who asks, for everyone who asks will receive.  Remember,  eternity is a long long time. Forever is 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 of 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

 

The Tongue Is Mighty

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.

We have all heard about the power of the tongue. To many people, the words are ignored, and life goes on. The words in the Bible are true, and there are many examples to look at in history.

satan used his tongue to lie to Eve. This caused Adam and Eve to sin against God, and they lost Paradise as a result. When that happened  Adam could no longer follow God's plan for the Earth. At this point  satan took control of the earth.

The history of the earth is one of lies, deceit, corruption, and separation from God. Everything that has come to pass, and everything that will happen is the result of a lying tongue.

Proverbs 18: 21, death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

There are many examples from fairly recent history to serve as an example. Lying tongues are so convincing that most people cannot connect past and present, so they end up in denial of the truth.

Adolf Hitler took power through his lying tongue, and the lying tongues of the media at the time. The tongue caused the Holocaust, the second world war, and about 50 million dead. It corrupted even children.

James 3: 5-6, even so, the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

Many people do not recognize the lying tongues in many of our lawmakers, and most of the media. They have drastically changed our country and the world, and it is not for the better. It has resulted in people losing basic freedoms, and caused them to live in fear.

Ecclesiastes 12: 14,  for God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing whether good or evil.

Ask yourself how a small group can take control of a significant majority. The answer is simple. Too many people do not search for the truth, because they believe nothing will change, or someone else will take care of the problem.

The Lord God Almighty put us here to follow His perfect plan for us. He did not want us to live in tyranny. We can change everything. Get informed, vote, hold our leaders and media accountable. Pray and take your civic duty seriously.

1 Peter 3: 10-11, he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from Evil and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it.

 God bless you and your family.

 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

 

Led By The Spirit

Romans 8: 14-16, for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God, for you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

There are many church-going Christians who do not know much about the Holy Spirit. The biggest reason they don't know is because the value of the Holy Spirit, and what He does, is hardly ever talked about.

As you may or may not know, you receive the Holy Spirit in your heart when you are saved. The Holy Spirit has many jobs to do in a Christian's life. Since faith is a heart thing, He helps you prepare for your walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 36:25-27, I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

The next step occurs at the same time. You receive what is called the fruits of the Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit are a great starting point in your life serving and glorifying almighty God, through the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of that Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5: 22-23, it but the fruit of the spirit is love, Joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

When you get to this point in your journey, you will feel comfortable talking to the Holy Spirit, the Lord Jesus Christ, and our Father, Almighty God Himself.

Along your journey you will see and feel the presence of God. You will be a witness to the Holy Spirit working in your life by the blessings you receive just because the Lord Jesus Christ loves you.

It is a fact that you can be as close to Father God as you want to be. If you spend your day talking to the Holy Spirit the way you would talk to your best friend, you will pray and have faith that it is done, automatically.

Luke 11: 9-10, so I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be open to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

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!

Daily Walk

Matthew 6:34-35, but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Many people wake up in the morning with a feeling of hopelessness. It could be job-related, Health, family problems, or any of a number of things. Some people spend their entire life thinking why me?

There are some that blink their eyes open and say, Lord God Almighty, thank you for this day. I will rejoice and be glad in it, because You Love me.

This is the big difference between who doesn’t believe and someone who does.  When you Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is your savior, your whole day has a different look about it right from the start. When you are not saved by Grace and blood of Jesus Christ, everything looks dark and ugly.

John 10: 27-28, my sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; and neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

Everyone who believes has their sins washed away by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary. The problem with some people is they deny they are sinners, and therefore feel they do not need a savior.

Among the reasons people reject the Lord Jesus Christ, they do not want to be accountable for their actions, or they do not want to lose the feeling of being in charge of their lives. Some others on the other hand have had a sinful life that was so bad, they think they cannot be saved.

1 Timothy 2:3-4, For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 Everyone can be forgiven if they ask. There is no one that is beyond the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is only one thing I can say to people that feel that way. If you were drowning and saw a lifeboat 10 feet away would you grab it, or would you think you were too heavy and not grab it? Amen. Praise the Lord! saved.

When you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, He is joyful because one more of His children will be coming home to Him at the appointed time. 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. Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Helper

John 14:26, the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

You may be saying to yourself, this sounds pretty good, but what does it really mean to me? It is another of God Almighty’s gifts to us to benefit us in our journey through life.

To take advantage of this gift, you must make the Lord Jesus Christ your personal savior. You must confess your sins, believe His crucifixion washed away your sins, and His resurrection conquered satan and death.

Galatians 5:22-23, but the fruit of the Spirit is love, Joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such things there is no law.

When you were saved you automatically received the Holy Spirit and these fruits. They are a real outward sign of your salvation. When you do any of them, you are praising the Lord.

Many believers are not aware of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is a place where the Holy Spirit really shows His power to us and to the world.

1 Corinthians 12: 7-11, But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all; For to one is given the word of wisdom through the spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, through another Gifts of healing by the Same Spirit, to another the working of Miracles to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one in the same Spirit works in all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

 When you have the Holy Spirit in your heart, He will help you in everything you do. He fulfills prayers you ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He helps you understand God’s word and will guide you through what it says. He will also guide you during your day and help you live according to the will of God.

If you ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, you will have peace in your heart and be pleasing God at the same time. The Holy Spirit will give you discernment that helps you see the truth in this broken world. So how do I get the Holy Spirit baptism?

Acts 1:8, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the Earth.

Luke 11:13, If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!

Baptism in the Holy Spirit can be accomplished in several ways. You can ask the Lord Jesus Christ to baptize you in the Spirit and to fill you with the presence of the spirit. Another way is what I did. I asked a preacher at our church to baptize me. Over time I in turn baptized several others. Check it out and ask a pastor, a deacon, or another sincere believer to baptize you in the Holy Spirit. It will change your life. It is sad to realize that so few people know of the Baptism in The Holy Spirit, and the power to do God’s will.

God bless you and your family.

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!
