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

3 Replies

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

 

Message for America Psalm 78

6 Replies

We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children whichshould be born; who should arise and declare them to their children Psalms 78:4-6

America is crumbling and the reason is we forgot about God, the God that we founded this country on has been removed from everything. We don’t remember how God blessed us and made us prosper among all the other nations, and we don’t teach our children anymore about there Creator and Heavenly Father.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. Psalms 78:7-8

America no longer trusts in God but trusts in money and greed. But soon will find out God is the beginning and the end, from everlasting to everlasting. We have become a rebellious nation that has rejected God and turned away from his Word and commandments

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God Psalm 78:33-35.

Judgement is coming upon America, the nation he once provided for  has now rejected him. Years of trouble are ahead for America, God will unleash his power and all will know he is the Almighty Living God.

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath. Psalms 78:36-38

Gods mercy endures forever, its not to late for America, if we repent and turn back to God he will forgive us of our transgressions and restore our covenant with him.

Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember his power– the day he redeemed them from the oppressor, Psalms 78:41-42

America keeps changing Gods laws , testing the Almighty living God creator of the Heavens and The Earth. America doesn’t remember the years or prosperity God had provided them, the victories in war against evil allies, all of this has been forgotten by America

He gave his people over to the sword; he was furious with his inheritance. Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs; Psalms 78:62-63

Gods protection for America will be lifted, just like Israel we will be devoured by our enemies. Unless we return to God there will be no future for America. Wake up America, Time to repent, Time to Return to God , and he will restore this great nation in Jesus Name Amen

Who Is Jesus?

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  Colossians 1:15

Who is Jesus? Seems like a simple question, but this topic has divided religions, families, and nations. In Colossians Paul gives a perfect description of who Jesus is. How does Paul know? Because he met Jesus face to face on the Road to Damascus.

First we learn Jesus is the image of God, The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us. Remember Jesus said he and God are one, this is the Trinity.  Nobody gets to God without going thru Jesus because Jesus is God in the Flesh.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:16-17

We learn two more things from these scriptures.

  1. Jesus created The Heavens and The Earth
  2. Jesus is King of Kings and rules over all nations and governments

Notice this scripture says all things were created by him, this corresponds with John 1:1 “In the beginning was The Word, and the Word was with God and The Word was God “

Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He was here before everything and he will be here evermore. He is sitting on the throne and rules The Earth.

 

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Colossians 1:18-19

Jesus is the head of the Church, there is no other man or authority above him.  If you’re not following his Word you’re following a false religion. If it’s not in The Bible it a man made doctrine or ritual

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians 1:20

Jesus came down to Earth, lowered himself to become an atonement sacrifice for our sins.  He loves us enough to leave his throne as King and become The Lamb of God.  There is no greater love than this.

Read these scriptures, meditate on these scriptures, this is who Jesus is. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever in Jesus Name Amen

The Truth Shall Set You Free

5 Replies

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32

This statement by Jesus is very powerful in many ways, it can be broken down in 3 parts:

Are you truly a Christian?  You can go to Church every Sunday but unless you actually know the Bible and are applying it to your life, your attendance means nothing. Jesus brought us these teachings for a reason, to save your life.

Jesus is the Word and the Word is truth-  The Word became Flesh. We know Jesus is the Word and we know the Word is Truth. Jesus is sinless and is not capable of lying. Trust in Jesus he is the truth.

We are all slaves to sin without Jesus- We all fall short and are sinners. Only by the blood of Jesus are we set free from the chains of sin.

They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. John 8:33-34

Many of us will look at our life and say I’m Free, I’m not a slave to anything. But if you analyze your life you will realize your probably a slave to many things. Were slaves to money, slaves to drugs, slaves to sex, slaves to power. Until we become transformed and stop conforming to the world, we will always be slaves to sin.

Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:35-36

We are all Children of God, we are made in his image. He loved us enough to sacrifice his only Son. Thru Jesus we are set free, we are slaves no more to Satan.

You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.” Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. John 8:40-41

If you are a Child of God, then why are you doing the works of Satan? This is what Jesus questioned the Jews when they kept trying to kill him. The same goes for ourselves, if your going to be a Christian, then follow Jesus

Once you know Jesus then you know the truth and you are truly free from the sins of this world in Jesus name Amen

Coat of Many Colors

6 Replies

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he wasthe son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. Genesis 37:3

Joseph had favor with his father and was giving a special gift, a Coat of many Colors, this gift made his brothers so jealous they plotted to kill him and eventually sold him into slavery.

We all have been given a gift from our Heavenly Father, maybe you have been blessed with a special talent or skill, or maybe you have been blessed with a family or prosperity. Whatever your “Coat of Many Colors” is it makes people around you jealous or maybe even your own family is now against you. Don’t lose heart God has a plan for you

Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content Genesis 37:27

Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery and eventually he ended up in prison, however God was always with Joseph and turned his tragedies into triumphs. By the grace of God , Joseph ended up being in charge even though he was a Hebrew slave.

Don’t let your current circumstances defeat you , just like Joseph God is with you and wont forsake you. He will make you enemies your footstool to your destiny

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand Genesis 39:2-3

No matter what happened to Joseph God made him prosper, man tried to make him a slave and God made him a master, man then tried to make him a prisoner and God made him a ruler, Man can’t stop you from your divine destiny as long as you keep following God

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. Genesis 45:4-5

Joseph had every right to hate his brothers, but he stayed in peace and forgave them. He knew the no weapon formed against him would prosper, whatever was meant for his harm God would use for his good.

Are you burdened today by your “Coat of Many Colors” the gift giving to you by God? Just remember if God is for us who can be against us,  embrace your gifts and use them to glorify God and everything you do will work out in Jesus Name Amen

Fix Our Eyes

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9

God uses us to display his eternal power, he will take the weak and make them strong, he will take the sick and make the immortal, he will part the waters or he will walk on water, its all by the Power of God

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

Jesus conquered death and thru him we will conquer death also. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is living in you, does the world see Jesus in you?

It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.  2 Corinthians 4:13-14

It’s time for Christians to stop mourning and start rejoicing, no matter what man does to us we can’t be defeated, because we have been covered by the Blood of The Lamb

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:15:16

While the world wastes and spends there time trying to make themselves look better, we are becoming stronger everyday spiritually. The world will pass away but the Kingdom of God will stand forever.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Are you fixing your eyes on this world or on eternity? Don’t waste your time on what is temporary but invest your time on what is permanent. The Kingdom of Heaven will stand forever, it was here before us and it will be here after us, its your choice what are you going to fix your eyes on in Jesus Name Amen

God Is Love

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love 1 John 4:7-8

Hatred, violence, and racism don’t come from God. If anyone is filled with these things, they are not filled with the Spirit of God but are filled with the Spirit of Satan.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10

God loves you enough to sacrifice his only begotten Son, to allow him to take the punishment for your sins. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for others, God displayed ultimate love

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit 1 John 4:11-13

The same Spirit that raised Christ from the Dead is living in you, that is the Spirit of God. You are called to be The Light of the World and The Salt of The Earth, Do people see God living in you?

  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:14-16

Anyone who acknowledges Jesus before others he will acknowledge them before God. Confess today that Jesus is your Lord and Savior and become transformed with the Spirit of God

This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 1 John 4:17

Nobody can get to the Father without going thru the Son, alone we are not worthy to stand before God but with the blood of Jesus we are worthy and redeemed

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

Fear doesn’t come from God but come from Satan to control and manipulate you. Break the chains today, if God be for us who can be against us, Fear no Evil

We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. 1 John 4:19-21

Jesus commanded us to Love One Another as we Love ourselves. Unless your doing this your not truly doing the Will of God.  Remember We love because he first love us, God made us in his image, he sacrificed his Son for our sins, there is no greater love than God in Jesus Name Amen
