Stay Alert!

11 Replies

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

Do you wonder why bad things always seem to happen to you? Does it seem like the same addictions and diseases keep coming back for you? This is no coincidence, see Satan is looking to devour you. We are in a spiritual warfare, our struggle is not against the flesh but against the evil forces of this world (Ephesians 6) those evil forces are Satan and his demons looking to destroy you

You might say I don’t believe in that spiritual stuff, well Jesus spent most of his ministry casting out demons (Matthew 4, Luke 11, Matthew 8, Mark1, Luke 4) If you deny the existence of Satan and demons, then your denying the Word of God and Jesus ministry.

Jesus said The Thief (Satan) comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus came to give us life ( John 10:10) How does Satan accomplish his goal? Simple he sets up traps and snares that lead us off our path of righteousness. You give in the the temporary temptations of the flesh but lose your eternal soul. What does it profit to gain the whole world and lose your mortal soul ( Matthew 16:26)

So what can we do, be strong in The Lord, put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6) Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7) use your Weapons of Warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4) in Jesus Name Amen

The Cure

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6

Are you tired of being a beggar? Are you tired of hoping money is going to solve all your problems? Peter came across a man who spent his days begging for money because he couldn’t walk, Peter didn’t give him the temporary solution of money he gave him the permanent cure of Jesus Christ

Today we feel captive by the world, hoping we get our next dollar to get by. But take heart because Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), sickness and death have been defeated at the cross. (2 Timothy 2:10)  We must learn that God is our provider not man (Philippians 4:19) He is the Bread of Life (John 6:35) and will supply you with daily manna to sustain you

Through Christ we are no longer beggars but royalty. We are children of God (Romans 8:15) and we worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16) Before you were born God knew you and set you apart (Jeremiah 1:5) So stop begging and start praising your Heavenly Father and our Messiah Jesus, through amazing grace the chains are gone. The Son shall set you free, and you are free indeed (John 8:29) in Jesus Name Amen

Our House

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Who does your household worship? What beliefs or values does your family live by? Today’s world is total chaos; we live in a society where anything goes. And with the “political correctness” of today our faith and beliefs are being challenged and censored daily. However what we can control is our own homes, we need to be the spiritual leaders our children need, teach them so they will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

We must remember that Jesus is the cornerstone (Acts 4:11) and we must build our house on The Rock (Matthew 7:24)and not by the world . Don’t conform to the ways of the world (Romans 12:2)but live by the ways of God. The righteous have an everlasting foundation (Proverbs 10:25) that foundation is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11)

When we don’t build our house on God, we allow our homes to be invaded with the evils and snares of this world. Remember God is our fortress and shield, (Psalm 18:2) blesses your family by serving The Lord. Don’t allow your family to become more victims of this world and torn apart by its ways. Build your house on The Rock of salvation in Jesus Name Amen

Don’tWorry About Tomorrow

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

Are you worried about tomorrow? Do you find yourself focusing more on the future than the present? Many times we get wrapped in our troubles, and we don’t take the time to enjoy the moment we have right now. Jesus taught us simply, don’t worry about tomorrow, and focus on one day at a time.

Remember This is the day The Lord has made we will be glad and rejoice in it (Psalm) How can we rejoice in the day, when we’re stressing out about tomorrow? We must remember every day is a gift, that is why they call it the present. Often we create scenarios in our heads that will probably never come to pass, that’s why we focus on today and not tomorrow

Jesus also asked “Can worry add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27) The answer is obviously no, worrying actually does the opposite, take away precious moments of our life by stress and anxiety.  God wants us to cast our cares to him (1 Peter 5:7) give all your burdens to God and let him be your rock! When we put our faith in God, he will be our shelter in the storm

Does that mean it will be easy not to worry? Of course not, but we can take the peace and comfort of knowing our Heavenly Father knows your pain and has a plan for your victory. Look at the birds in the air, they don’t sow or reap, yet God takes care of them (Matthew 6:26). And you are much more valuable, as you are created in the image of our Heavenly Father in Jesus Name Amen

 

 

Amazing Grace

8 Replies

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—Ephesians 2:8

How can you be saved by Jesus Christ? How can you earn grace? You can’t, no matter what great works you have done, only the blood of Jesus Christ can redeem you. Even though we were still sinners Christ died for us, God demonstrated his awesome love for us at the cross (Romans 5:8) Grace is not something can be earned, it’s the everlasting mercy or our Heavenly Father, that has given us new life.

Does that mean we should do nothing now? Absolutely not, remember Faith without works is dead (James 2:17) remember grace is given to you through faith. How do you demonstrate faith? By your actions in everything you do. Would Moses led the Israelites though the Red Sea by just standing there? No by faith he trusted God to part the waters for him, same way you trust in Jesus to lead you to the Father.

What greater gift is there than eternal life? How much more can God demonstrate his love for you, than sacrifice his only begotten Son to take the wages of your sins? Don’t squander your gift of redemption, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, let God shower you with grace. And then become a new creature, let you old self die, because you have been born again in Jesus Name Amen

Children of God

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1

Do you know God loves you? Do you know you are a child of God Almighty? Often we feel far away from God, but that couldn’t be anymore from the truth. As nothing can separate us from God , not life or death, not angels or demons, not the present or the future (Romans 8:38) For God so love the world, including You , that he gave his only begotten Son to save us from our sins (John 3:16)

The Love of God can’t be broken , as God does not change (Malachi 3:6), he knows the beginning and the end.(Isaiah 46:10) Your Heavenly Father had a plan for your life before your conception (Jeremiah 1:5), and he paved the way for you to overcome all things through Christ who give you strength.(Philippians 4:13)

Even though we are his children, the world knew him not (John 1:10). Even though he paid for the wages of our sins (Romans 6:23), the world continued to sin against him. But God’s mercy endures forever, and even though we were lawless he forgave us. The Love lavished by our Father , through the grace of Jesus Christ, can’t be broken or separated. Know this you have been chosen as a child of The Creator of The Heavens and Earth in Jesus Name Amen

Lost and Found

For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:24

Do you feel lost? Does your life feel like its at a dead end? Your Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come back home again. Don’t waste any more time, repent your sin, and come home to the Father. Not only will he welcome you back with open arms, God will come running to you. This is what we learn from the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15)

Gods mercy endures forever and its new every morning (Lamentation 3:23). The Grace of God, which is a gift given to us through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16), is freely given to us all (Matthew 10:8) Do you want forgiveness? Do you want to be truly alive for the first time? Come all who are weary and he will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)

Can we even imagine the Love our Father has given us? Even though we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) Did we deserve Grace? Can we earn Grace? No, our Creator knows the beginning from the end (Isaiah 45:10) He knows every hair on your head  (Luke 12:7) and knows you will come back home a new creation with a renewed mind and full of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name Amen

Light On My Path

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105

What guides you through your life? Do you know what path your headed on? The Word of God is a special gift given to us because its gives us wisdom, guidance, and hope. All scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training us in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16)

Reading The Bible shouldn’t feel like a chore , it should make us feel excited for we a reading the Words from our Heavenly Father, our Creator. When we understand the power of Gods Word, it takes root into our hearts and minds, and becomes the lamp for our feet.

Jesus is The Word that became Flesh (John 1:14) he brought light into the darkness of this world. When we follow Jesus, we are following down the path of light. For though Christ , we are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14) Let your light shine for the world to see, this will also light your path to righteousness

The grass whithers and flowers fade, but the Word of God will endure forever (Isaiah 40:8) Let the eternal Word be your guide through this dark world , Jesus is the Truth, Life, and Way, let him be your guide to eternal life Amen

Love God and Neighbor

5 Replies

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment of the law is, this was his reply. Jesus summed up the Bible and Gods plan for us in a few short sentences. As Jesus said if you follow these commands you will inherit eternal life. (Matthew 19:17)

First Love God will all your heart, in order to truly love God we must be obedient to God. As Jesus said if you truly love him you will keep his commandments (John 14:15) Remember Fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.(Proverbs 9:10) If you have no respect for God, how can you truly love him? Just as Children need to respect their parents, we need to respect our Heavenly Father and his will for our life.

Second once we understand how God loved us even though we were still sinners (Romans 5:8) we need to learn to love our neighbors just as God loved us. For the entire law is fulfilled by keeping this command “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Galatians 5:14) As Jesus said “Do unto others as you would want done unto you (Matthew 7:12)

Many try to overcomplicate Christianity or confuse people with there doctrine, but as Jesus said remember these simple commandments and you have fulfilled the law. Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior , and follow the Truth , Life, and Way in Jesus Name Amen

Build On The Rock

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

Are you building your house on the rock or the sand? When the storms of life come, is your faith strong enough to withstand the storm? Jesus taught us that the Word of God is like building your house on the rock, this is because the Word of God never changes (Matthew 24:35) . The grass may whither but the Word of God will stand forever (Isaiah 40:8) Meaning God is the beginning and the end (Revelation 22:13) so we can put our trust in his Word because its eternal

What about the storms of life? No matter who you are, you’re going to face a trial and tribulation (John 16:33) Its how we respond to them that makes us who we are. These trials will prove the genuine of your faith ( 1 Peter 1:7) because faith without works is dead (James 2:14) So if your faith is never tested, how can you prove your genuine.

But those who don’t build their life on the Word of God, are like those who build on the sand (Matthew 7:26) when those same trials come, because they have no faith, there life quickly falls apart. See faith is the confidence of what we hope for (Hebrews 11:1) When we have strong faith, we can endure the storms of life in Jesus Name Amen
