Trust in Jesus to Save You!

Unashamed of Jesus's avatarUnashamed of Jesus

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”   “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. Matthew 14:28-29

Peter took a “Walk of Faith” and decided to trust Jesus would allow him to walk on the water. When he cried out, Jesus immediately responded to him with open arms. See its makes our Lord happy when we have the faith in him.

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30

But then Peters human mind started to kick in, wait were not supposed to be able to walk on water, and he lost his faith and immediately began to sink.  Jesus said that all things are possible if you have faith in Him.

Notice Peter still remembered to call out…

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

 

Seed of Faith

7 Replies

It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.” Luke 13:19

If we could see your faith, would it be a strong tree with deep roots? Or would it be a flower withering away under the sun? The Word of God is the seed (Luke 8:11) And when we truly hear Gods word and listen, its takes root into our hearts and our faith begins to grow

Rooted and build up in Jesus , strengthened in the faith as we were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:7)

Jesus taught us about several scenarios when people hear the Word of God : Satan is always trying to distract us and remove the seed before it takes root (Matthew 13:4)

 

  1. Some people accept the Word of God but as soon as a trial comes along their faith falls apart because they don’t have deep roots (Matthew 13:5-6)
  2. Other people lose their faith because of the negative influences around them become stumbling blocks (Matthew 13:7)
  3. Others produce deep roots and grow strong faith in God and live a fruitful life (Matthew 13:8)

So which are you? Is your faith in God deep enough to withstand trials? Or does your faith wither?

For the grass whithers and the flowers fall, but the Word of God endures forever (Isaiah 40:80 in Jesus Name Amen

Stumbling Block

16 Replies

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. Romans 14:13

Are you a stumbling block for others coming to Christ? Jesus has called us to be his disciples and spread the gospel to all the nations  (Mark 18:15) however many times we often push people  away from Christ because they don’t fit into our perception of what a Christian should be or look like

We must remember that Jesus came to save the world (John 3:16), everyone who calls upon Jesus shall be saved (Romans 10:16), and though Christ we are all one (Galatians 3:28) So its important for us to set aside our own egos or perceptions of what a Christian should be and let the Holy Spirit guide them to the cross.

We must remember that judgement is not our (Matthew 7:1) when we condemn others we are condemning ourselves. (Luke 6:37) Jesus has been given all power and authority by God (Matthew 28:18) its our job to lead people to Christ, and it’s Christ job to be the ultimate judge.

Does that mean we should be accepting of blasphemy or evil? Absolutely not! The Word of God was given to us for teaching, training, correcting and rebuking (1 Timothy 3:16) Anyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit declares Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3) Nobody who is filled with Demonic Spirits declares Jesus is Lord, therefor if a brother or sister is leading people to Christ, don’t be a stumbling block for them or thier ministry.  Remember we are all one body of Christ, there is only one God and one Heaven. Love your neighbor as you love yourself and you fulfilled the law of Christ(Galatians 5:14) in Jesus Name Amen

Gods Not Dead

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Matthew 28:6

Why can we have faith and hope in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Because our God lives forever (Hebrews 7:24), he has conquered the grave (1 Corinthians 15:57), he has overcome the world (John 16:33), Jesus said I am the living One, I was dead and now alive forever, he holds the keys to death and the grave (Revelation 1:18)

And if Christ has not been raised from the dead, then Christianity is pointless (1 Corinthians 15:54) Without Jesus there is no hope or salvation, for the wages of our sin is death (Romans 6:23) and we are all sinners and fall short from the glory of God (Romans 3:23) That’s why Christ is the only way to eternal life, nobody gets to God except though him (John 14:6) Nobody else is worthy to be our ransom (Matthew 20:28) except the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ (John 1:29)

But there is good news, even though we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) paid our debt and on the third day rose from the grave, just as he said he would (1 Corinthians 15:4) O Death where is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:15) We have victory through Jesus Christ because our God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son so we shall not perish (John 3:16) in Jesus Name Amen

Know Your Enemy

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. Genesis 3:4

When tragedy strikes who do we blame? Many times when we suffer, we blame God. He is the first to get the blame for everything and usually the last to get thanks for anything. But what about Satan? Did he not tell us we will not die? Even though God warned us not to eat from the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:3) we ate it anyway and when the wages of our sin which is death comes upon us (Romans 6:23), we curse our Creator who warned us.

Know who your real enemy is , Satan, the thief that only comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) Your enemy the devil who prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8) But Jesus came to give life (John 10:10) so why don’t you follow him?

Jesus overcame on the cross and put all our enemies under his feet, including the last enemy to be destroyed which is death (1 Corinthians 15:26) Jesus is the resurrection (John 11:25) the living water (John 4:14)  the truth life and only way to God and eternal life (John 14:6)

So know your enemy , we are in a spiritual warfare for your soul put on the whole armor of God stand against the schemes on Satan (Ephesians 6) in Jesus Name Amen

Free Indeed

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Are you truly free? Many people will answer yes because they live in a free country. However, this freedom cannot free you from the imprisonment of ourselves. Many are prisoners to their thoughts, worries, guilt, and addictions. However, there is true freedom in Jesus Christ (Galatians 5:1)

At the cross Jesus released the chains of everything that binds us, addictions, anxiety, anger, fear, hatred (Psalm 107:14) Jesus is the Truth, Life, and Way (John 14:6) and when you know the truth it shall set you free (John 8:32) Jesus bore all your sins and transgressions that imprisoned you and put them on his shoulders (Isaiah 53:4-5) Cast all your cares on him (1 Peter 5:7) and you will experience true freedom in Christ

Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand (Matthew 3:2) This is the key that will unlock your prison cell, without repentance there can be no salvation. If your tired of living as a prisoner to the traps that Satan has set for you (2 Timothy 2:26) then come to the cross, let your old self die and your new self (Ephesians 4:24) be resurrected with Christ (Romans 6:4) the Son has set you free in Jesus Name Amen

Are You Prepared?

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 1 Peter 3:15

Are you prepared to tell someone about Christ? If someone asked you a Biblical question, can you answer it? One of the responsibilities of beings a Christian is to know the Word of God, this can only be done through reading the Bible, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

When going to Church or listening to other preach, how do you know its sound doctrine? (Titus 2:1) If you don’t know the True Gospel of Jesus Christ you can easily be deceived by False Prophets and False religions, who twist scriptures to fit their manmade agendas (Matthew 24:23)

What if somebody asked you a question about the Bible, can you answer it honestly? Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15) How can you preach the gospel if you don’t even know if yourself? What if you give people false information leading them astray?

Jesus taught us the Word of God is the rock we stand on during the storms of life (Matthew 7:24-27) But without the solid foundation of God’s Word rooted in you, there can be nothing to stand on. When storms arise, many will panic, but knowing Gods promises and truth, we have the peace and confidence that God is our salvation

So what should we do? Devote yourself to reading Gods Word (1 Timothy 4:13) Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and ask for the Holy Spirit for guidance (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) For we all know the Bible is God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training (2 Timothy 3:16) in Jesus Name Amen
