Fallen Asleep in Christ

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 1 Corinthians 15:18

Wake Up America

Recently in Detroit, Michigan a Satanic Church unveiled a statue of Satan right here in America. Hundreds of followers lined the street waiting to party and pay tribute to Lucifer. Wake up America, you are inviting Satan and his demons to overtake our nation.

The Detroit Police were there to protect the statue and its followers, saying everyone is entitled to there religious beliefs. Really? Does this mean America supports Murder, Rape, and Lawlessness? Because that’s exactly what Satan stands for.

How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? Proverbs 6:9

How long will you Christians lay dormant? When will people wake up and realize were in a Spiritual Warfare right in our backyard?  Without the Armor of God you are defenseless against the evil powers and schemes of Satan.

What’s it going to take to wake you up? Another 9/11 attack? More reports of aborted baby body parts being sold and funded by our government? More removal of God from our schools and constitution?

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober 1 Thessalonians 5:6

As Peter said “Stay Alert and Sober for Satan is like a roaring lion looking to devour you”. Are you Alert and Sober or are you a walking zombie staring at your smart phone inhaling the propaganda the media feeds you?

He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame. Proverbs 10:5

Jesus said the Harvest is plentiful by the workers are few, the Harvest is now people. It’s time to get up and speak the Truth, and the Truth is Jesus Christ. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever

Don’t fall asleep or you will perish, don’t allow Satan to take over your nation, your town, your family, and your soul.  The Harvest is ready , come home Prodigal Sons and Daughters in Jesus Name Amen

Never Defeated with Christ

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7

The Power of the Living God, that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside or you. No matter what Satan does to you, he can’t take this away, for Jesus has defeated death and conquered the grave.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

Jesus warned us there will be persecution; the world will hate you because of him. But if God is for us  who can be against us, nothing can defeat the power of God who spoke planets into existence and breathed life into our bodies.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:10

Does the world see Christ living inside of you? Some people you are the only Jesus they are ever going to experience, represent Christ with Justice.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthains 4:11-12

Our mortal bodies might be decreasing but our eternal souls are increasing everyday; O death where is your sting? Because Jesus lives we can live also

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 4:13

I write these words because I believe these words, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Do you believe?

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.2 Corinthians 4:14

The same way Jesus was resurrected is the same way you will be resurrected; by the love and sacrifice of Jesus you are redeemed; you can’t be defeated by death because you have the power of God living in you in Jesus Name Amen

Prince of Peace

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and he not only has giving us the gift of eternal life, but the gift of peace also. As he says he does not give as the world gives. What does he mean by that?

Let’s look at how the world gives, everyone thinks if they only had more money, a bigger house, a newer car, then they would be happy. But you can’t find peace in material objects, you find peace thru Jesus Christ.

“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. John 14:28

We can also obtain Peace by letting people go, when Jesus was going to die on the cross obviously his disciples were very distraught. But Jesus is telling them I’m going to Heaven to be with God, rejoice for me.

When we lose a loved one it can be very painful also, but we can have peace in knowing they will be in Heaven just like Jesus. It’s a message straight from God, take comfort in knowing this.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.
John 14:29

Jesus is prophesying his own resurrection, his disciples may not have understood this at the time , but he came back and visited them to prove he is alive forever. Take comfort in knowing Jesus has conquered death, only thru the Prince of Peace can we have eternal life.

I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave John 14:30-31

Notice Jesus warns them about Satan “Prince of This World”, but he has defeated Satan as he told them he has no hold over me.

Its your choice who your going to follow, the Prince of Peace or the Prince of This World, Jesus has conquered the grave and his peace he gives to us so that we may live today in Peace even thru the chaos of this world in Jesus Name Amen

Cast Your Cares On Him

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 1 Peter 5:6

Anyone who believes life will always be easy is foolish; God tells us there will be season of joy and seasons of pain, seasons of suffering and seasons of rejoicing. The important thing to remember is to stay strong in Lord no matter what season it is

God has a plan for you and he will exalt you in due time. His ways our better than our ways; trust in him and he will exalt you.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7

God made us in his image, he knows every tear that you cried. He knows the pain you are dealing with, but as Jesus told us, Don’t be troubled, because he is coming for us and preparing a place for us in Heaven.

Cast all your care upon God, he wants to hear from you. Let him know how your feeling and remember to faith in him. Because nothing is impossible with God

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

Satan wants to devour you like a lion, how does he devour you? Drugs, Lust, Greed, Envy, these are traps he uses to change your heart and destroy you from the inside out. Stay Alert, wear the Armor of God to stand against his schemes

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:9

Jesus told us the world will hate us because of him, know this and be prepared. The road is narrow is small is the gate. Be prepared for the storms that will come.

But whatever you are going thru, remember to Cast all your Cares on God because he won’t leave you or forsake you in Jesus name Amen

Name Above All Names

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5

Jesus commanded us to love one another as he loved us, how much did Jesus love us? He willingly laid down his life for us all, even the people who deny and mock him. It’s important for us to try to achieve this mindset, love just as Christ loves us.

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:6-7

Even though Jesus was God in the flesh, he lowered himself to be an atonement sacrifice for our sins. He could have easily wiped out the Roman Empire with a snap of his finger but instead he decided to try and save the Romans just like he saved the entire world.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death– even death on a cross! Philippians 2:8

Jesus was so stressed out about taking the cross that he sweated blood, but he willingly went thru the brutal beating and painful death of the cross to save us from our sins. It’s only because of the obedience and love of Jesus that we have been saved.

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

The Name above all Names, Jesus was exalted by God to be King of Kings and sit as his right hand. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess Jesus is our Lord and Savior. There is no other name greater than Jesus, exalt him everyday Amen

No Greater Love

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.  John 15:13-14

How do we know if someone truly loves them? Words are nice but your actions will truly show how much you love someone. Jesus showed us the greatest act of love, to lay down his life for us. How can anyone put that deep of love into words?

Its just like a woman sacrificing her body to give birth to her child, is there any greater act of love that a mother could display than this? These sacrifices are acts of love, there is no greater love than this

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15

Jesus doesn’t see us as servants, as failures, he calls us his friends. How many people do you personally call your friend? And how many of them would you willingly lay down your life for?

In todays world we use the terms love and friend very loosely, but Jesus takes them very serious. Isn’t great to know you have a friend in Jesus who sacrificed everything for you?

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit–fruit that will last–and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John 15:16

What’s even more amazing is Jesus comes to us, we don’t have to travel great distants or go thru great lengths to get to Jesus, he is with us. He sent us the Holy Spirit after his ascension to guide and comfort us.

Remember the story of Disciples, after Jesus died on the cross, Peter denied Jesus and thought he left him forever. But after Jesus rose from the dead, he went to visit Peter on the shore. Jesus came looking for Peter, just as he looks for us also.

This is my command: Love each other. John 15:17

Jesus has taught us what it truly means to love, now let’s follow his commandment to Love each other just as Christ loves us. When the world lets you down, remember what Jesus has already done for you, there is no great love in Jesus Name Amen.

Comfort of Christ

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” John 14:1

Jesus is preparing his disciples for his departure; he’s telling them just because he’s not living here on Earth anymore he’s alive in Heaven waiting for them.

This is great comfort, not only knowing that Jesus is alive and waiting for us but also  Jesus reveals a little about Heaven and what we can expect on our journey there.

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? John 14:2

Jesus is telling us Heaven has plenty of room for us; you won’t be turned away by lack of vacancy. Jesus promised to his followers he is going to prepare a place for you, question is are you one of his followers?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14:3

Not only has Jesus giving us eternal life, promised to prepare a place for us in Heaven, but also he promises to come get you on that day to your Heavenly destination.

God has promised to never leave us or forsake us and he is holding on to that promise. When you leave this Earth , Jesus is coming for you, just as he promised.

“You know the way to the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:4-6

Do you know the way to Heaven? If your not sure don’t feel bad because Jesus disciples were not sure. But Jesus clarifies it that he is the only way to Heaven. We are not worthy to stand before God without being washed in the blood of Jesus.

If you lost a loved one or are worried about the future, take comfort in the words of Jesus. He has laid down his life for you and he has prepared a place for you, trust in Jesus and don’t let your heart be troubled anymore Amen

His Love Endures Forever

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalms 100:5

Being a parent, we all have times when our children are being disobedient and disobeying our commands. Although we become angry at first, we quickly forgive because we love our children and our love endures forever for them.

This is the same with our Heavenly Father, there are many times we disobey his commands and probably sometimes we might even anger him, but his promise and love endures forever. We are his children and he loves us that much.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 1 Peter 1:3-4

Gods love and mercy was displayed by the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus. A love that is so great it could never be matched. And this love will endure forever as you are washed by the Blood of The Lamb. We love God because he loved us first. His covenant will endure forever.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16

Many times when our children have done something wrong they will try to hide or hide it from us, for fear we won’t understand what they did. When in fact we usually know what they did before they even did it.

This is the same with God, many are afraid to approach him with there sin or think how could God ever understand me. The fact is Jesus was God in the Flesh, he knows the trials and temptations of being human.. He knows exactly who you are and how it feels to be you. So just like a parent, don’t be afraid to approach him for his love and mercy does endure forever.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

So give thanks to God everyday for his love and mercy endures forever. And apply this to your everyday life, learn to love and forgive just as God loves and forgives you in Jesus Name Amen

The Great I AM

Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ Exodus 3:13-14

When God revealed this to Moses it probably made no sense to him at the time, but what God was doing was laying down the foundation for the prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s look and see how this prophecy was fulfilled.

Jesus answered, “I AM” the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I AM “ the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

Then Jesus declared,” I AM” the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,” I AM” John 8:58

I AM” the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. John 10:9

“I AM” the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11

“I AM” the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. John 15:1

Jesus said to her,” I AM” the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; John 11:25

“I AM” the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13

Its clear Jesus was identifying himself as “The Great I AM” as was revealed to Moses. When you read these scriptures the prophecies of the Old Testament not only are fulfilled but there meanings are revealed to us thru Jesus Christ.

Jesus is everything for us, he has giving us everything even though we don’t deserve it. If you don’t really know Jesus I suggest you study the above scriptures and get to know your King. He is THE GREAT I AM in Jesus Name Amen
