Lost and Found

8 Replies

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

The Mediator

2 Replies

If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together, Job 9:33

Job suffered greatly, but he didn’t understand that he wasn’t being punished by God, he was being attacked and tested by Satan. During Job’s suffering he says he wishes there was a mediator between him and God, we have that mediator and his name is Jesus Christ

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5) Job understands the awesomeness of God, “ He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea” (Job 9:8) but he doesn’t understand the grace and mercy of God. He believes that God is angry and is looking to destroy him but he doesn’t understand that even though we were still sinners God still loved us (Romans 5:8)  and Christ eventually died for us all to be the ransom (1 Timothy 2:6) for the wages of our sins

Now we know that Job lived before Jesus was sent to Earth, to be our Messiah. However the God of Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob is the same God of Matthew, Mark , Luke, and John. We are now Children of God through Christ (Romans 8:15) and have a mediator Christ Jesus who will acknowledge our names before God if we acknowledge him before others (Matthew 10:32) in Jesus Name Amen

Power in Forgiveness

12 Replies

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew 6:14

Are you still holding on to the pain of past mistakes done to you? Did someone hurt you and your struggling to move on? Jesus taught us that there is power in Forgiveness, instead of holding on to your pain that’s making you a prisoner, release it to God and let the judgement be his (Matthew 7:1)

Is forgiveness easy? No but when we cast our cares to God (1 Peter 5:7), he will renew our strength (Isaiah 40:31) Don’t allow your past hold you down from your future. Jesus said if we can’t forgive others than we can’t be forgiven either (Matthew 6:15) remember even when we were sinners Christ died for us and forgave us for our sins (Romans 5:8)

Remember Jesus who was beaten and nailed to a cross, instead of showing hatred towards others he said “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:24) If Christ can forgive the world, you can forgive your enemies. Remember Jesus said to Love your enemies for even the pagan love their own family. (Matthew 5)

Don’t allow others to hold your prisoner, the Son has set your free (John 8:36) At the cross all the chains have been broken, you can overcome the world because Christ has already overcame it (John 16:33) in Jesus Name Amen

Childlike Faith

9 Replies

And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3

Do you have the faith of a child? Have you given up on your hopes and dreams for the future? Jesus taught us unless we become like a child again, we can’t enter the kingdom of Heaven. So what can we learn from children? Are children born with hate, violence? No these are learned behaviors from the world, unless we become reborn again (John 3:3) and renew are minds (Romans 12:2) we can’t become Children of God

Jesus also taught us that children are the greatest in Heaven (Matthew 18:4) , why? Because God resists the proud and exalts the humble (James 4:6) As we grow older we fall for lies of Satan and grow cold. Our priorities become money and we fall for his traps of addictions and sin.

We must relearn as children that Love is the most important thing. What does every child want? They want to be loved by their parents. Love is the fulfilment of Gods law (Galatians 5:14) and Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:8) So remember what Jesus said you can’t seen the Kingdom of Heaven unless your reborn again (John 3:3)

We can learn a lot from Children, don’t lose your childlike Faith, your childlike Hope, and most importantly childlike Love in Jesus Name Amen

Everyday I’m learning it’s all about returning

Ceasefire

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3

Its easy to point out the flaws and failures of others, but what about yourself? Can you look in the mirror and be accountable for your flaws and failures also? Jesus teaches us this principle, judgement is not ours, whoever judges another is condemning themselves.

Problem is when we spend so much time on analyzing others people’s flaws, we tend to forgot our own. Its important we strive to live like Christ and allow him to live in us. How did Jesus view others? Remember when the woman caught in adultery, instead of Jesus condemning her to death her forgave her of her sins. Then Jesus said “Let anyone of you who is without sin, cast the first stone (John 8:7) Nobody condemned her then, why? Because we are all guilty, we are all sinners and have fallen short to the Glory of God (Romans 3:23)

So is there a plank in your own eye? Meaning do you have some unresolved sin in your life? Is your life a reflection of Christ or the world? Stop looking at the sin in other people lives and reflect on your own life. Are you ready to stand before Jesus with a clean heart and mind? Repent your sins for the kingdom of God is at hand (Matthew 3:2)in Jesus name Amen

 

 

So easy to cast the first stone  Its harder to search your own soul -For King and Country – Ceasefire

Thief In The Night

“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.” Revelation 16:15

 

Are you ready for the return of Jesus Chirst? Or will you be caught exposed by your nakedness? Nobody know the day or hour when Christ will return except God almighty (Matthew 24:36) That’s why its important to stay alert and keep your lamps lit (Matthew 25) Does anyone ever expect a thief to show up at their house? No otherwise you would be ready, this is the same principle with Christs return (Luke 12:39)

Don’t be deceived , for just as in the Days of Noah will be the same for the day of The Lord (Luke 17:26) People will mock, blasphemy God, and continue on sinning even up to the Judgement of God comes upon them, the same as the Great Flood. (Luke 17:27) That’s why many will mourn the great day when they see Jesus coming in the clouds  (Matthew 24:30) because the judgement of God is coming upon The Earth.

Are you washed in the blood of Jesus? (1 John 1:7) He is the only way to eternal life (John 14:6) Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand (Matthew 3:2) Prepare yourself for the coming of our Lord, keep your lamps lit, reframe from evil , we are Children of The Light we don’t belong to darkness or evil, so stay alert and don’t fall asleep like the world has fallen asleep (1 Thessalonians 5:6)

Prepare yourself for the coming of Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, were every knee will bow and tongue will confess he is our Lord and Savior Amen

What is Your Soul Worth?

10 Replies

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? Matthew 16:26

What is your eternal soul worth to you? Is there anything worth giving it up for? These questions Jesus addressed to teach us the importance of not conforming to the ways of the world (Romans 12:2) but to keep our minds on our eternal destiny which is in Heaven. (Philippians 3:20)

We must remember that Satan rules this world (John 12:31), and he is a liar and thief looking to kill and destroy (John 10:10) so anybody who loves this world does not love God (1 John 2:15) Therefor we not try to conform to the ways of this world but renew our minds through Christ (Romans 12:2)

Satan will promise you power and Kingdoms of this world, just as he offered Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:8) But remember the things of this world are temporary and Gods kingdom are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18) Also remember Satan is a liar, just as he lied to Adam and Eve from the very beginning and told them they surely won’t die (Genesis 3:4) he is also lying to you.

Our riches are in heaven and not of this world , where they can’t be stole or destroyed by anyone (Matthew 6:20) Because Gods Kingdom is eternal and we are his children (Romans 8:15) through Jesus Christ by the blood of The Lamb Amen
