But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” Mark 5:36

Do we live in fear out of lack of faith? When Jesus spoke these words he was going to visit a girl who was pronounced dead. When Jesus told them the girl was “only sleeping” and not dead, they laughed at him. Why? Because most people have no faith and never recognized who Jesus is, the Son of the Living God

Perfect Love casts out all fear ( 1 John 4:18)

Satan wants you to live in fear, to feel defeated. But as Jesus said, Don’t be afraid any longer! Why? Because Jesus has defeated everything at the cross, even death. Many people cant comprehend this, but that’s why Jesus says to have faith, believe.

As Jesus said to another woman he healed “ Your faith has made you well “ (Mark 5:34) Did fear and doubt heal this woman? No, if this woman rejected Christ she would have just remained defeated and ill. But because she had the boldness to believe in our Lord and Savior, she was made well, redeemed!

So if your living in fear today or feel defeated. Trust in Jesus, don’t be afraid any longer. There are no powers in this world that can defeat our God in Jesus Name Amen!

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. Isaiah 65:17

When you look around or watch the news , you see there is a lot of pain and suffering in the world. But we can have hope, because God has promised one day the former things will not be remembered anymore. So what are the former things? Pain, sorrow, and death. God has promised these things will one day become former things (Revelation 21:4)

Humanity spend a lot of time trying to save the planet but God has promised to create a New Heavens and Earth. One day when he reestablishes his Kingdom, he will recreate the Paradise here on Earth, just as it was for Adam and Eve. A place of peace, love , and joy.

So what happened? How did the Earth and humanity fall so far away from the beginning? It was the introduction of sin from Satan. Sin is the downfall of the human race, the separation from God. Through sin was the introduction of disease and death.

But God has a redemption plan for us all through Jesus Christ. At the cross he has overcome the world, he has overcome sin and death. And because of Christ, those who are redeemed through him will inherit the new heavens and Earth, and the former things will pass away in Jesus Name Amen

But the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Mark 4:19

While Jesus was explaining the parable of the sower, this is a strong summarization. Many of us have heard the Word of God, we heard about what Jesus has done for us, but we become distracted by the things of this world and simply forget. As Jesus explained the Word of God is like a seed , once you hear its planted in you, but if you don’t attend to it, it never becomes fruitful

The worries of this world, life is easy when things are going good. But Jesus told us to expect trials and tribulation. This is a time when we can rely on our faith to carry us. But most blame these worries on God instead of having faith. Cast your cares, worries, and anxiety on him because he cares about you (1 Peter 5:7)

The deceitfulness of riches, most people use money as there motivation for everything in life. But money cant save your soul. Money gives people a temporary sense of comfort and power, but in the end only Christ can redeem your soul

“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36)

Desire for other things. Its easy to get distracted in life. Sometimes we can over consume ourselves in a hobby or activities. We need to keep things in priority. Keep God and your family first. Don’t neglect the ones that love you. Because most of these activities or hobbies are just temporary but God and your family are forever.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8

Devote time to studying the Word of God, and let the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5), Peace , Love, and Joy, into your hearts in Jesus Name Amen

But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8

How can the creation know more than the creator? Often times we hear people say “God made a mistake” or some might even say “There is no God”, the truth is we are like ants trying to understand humans. Pride has always been the biggest downfall to mankind. When people finally humble themselves and realize there are things way beyond our understanding. You understand the awesomeness of our Heavenly Father our Potter.

We are Gods creation and made in his image. Some people would like to think we were randomly created by exploding bacteria and evolved from monkeys but why? Because as ridiculous as it sounds, they rather believe a lie than acknowledge their creator. You are a creation of God Almighty, he made you in his image and he has a purpose for your life. To find that purpose we need to connect with him through Jesus Christ.

We are the works of God from his hands, let him mold you and perfect you. Trust in the Potter, the one who made the Heavens and The Earth, he know what he’s doing. Your life is not a random coincidence; you were made for a purpose in the image of our Heavenly Father. Open your heart and mind, find out what his plan is for your life in Jesus Name Amen

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin “—Mark 3:29

Are you a good person? Most people would say Yes, I’m a good person. But have you ever blasphemed God or used the Lords name in vain? If people are being honest , they most likely would answer Yes also.

Working in the public sector in business offices, I can’t tell you how many times on a daily basis I hear people using the Lords name in vein repeatedly. It puzzles me how people find it offensive to say a “curse” word but its ok to use the Lords name in vain repeatedly. This conduct does have serious consequences as Jesus stated.

Think about it, the only one who can forgive and redeem you of your sins, is the one you are cursing. Its common sense if your blaspheming God, there is no reason why you should be forgiven.

So what does “Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” really mean? The definition of Blasphemy means act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things, profane talk. The original Greek word is “blasphemia” which means to slander or speak evil of

When Jesus was correcting the Pharisees on Blasphemy they were accusing him of doing works for Satan instead of God. In other words they were Anti-Christs, denying the power and authority of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Blasphemy really comes down to that, are you a Christian or an Ant-Christ. Is Jesus your Lord and Savior or do you mock the Word of God? God reads the hearts and minds of everyone (Jeremiah 17:10) He knows whether you are guilty of Blasphemy or not, accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, let him give you a clean heart and renewed mind, in Jesus Name Amen
