You put your faith and hope in a mortal man or woman
Which one is more corrupted? Only God knows
But you still worship them even though their sins have been revealed
You wonder why the system fails, when the system is lead by failures
There is only one, who we can confidently put our faith and hopes in
He lived without sin, and yet died for the ransoms of our sins
All the kingdoms and nations rest on his shoulders, the King of Kings
Who do you put your trust in? I trust in The Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Do you believe The Bible is outdated? Do you think God could never understand us today? Well we must remember that God does not change (Malachi 3:6) Our Lord Jesus is the same Messiah who laid down his life for us on the cross.(John 15:13) The same Jesus who now sits on the throne with all power and authority that has been given to him by God Almighty.(Matthew 28:18)
The same sin that separated Adam and Eve from God in the beginning (Genesis 3) is the same sin that separates us today. The wages for our sins is still the same death (Romans 6:23) but Christ has paid the ransom for our sins.(Matthew 20:28) This grace from God will not change either. Once you’re covered by the blood of the Lamb of God,(John 1:29) you are redeemed forever
The same Jesus, who is King of Kings,(Revelation 19:16) will return again to reestablish Gods Kingdom forever. This outcome will not change. Satan will be defeated and thrown in the Lake of Fire,(Revelation 20:10) because he was defeated at the cross. All sin and death has been overcome by our Lord and Savior Jesus, (John 16:33)this will not change. Jesus will not change, he will reign victorious forever Amen
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
Why do we need Jesus? Can we live by bread alone? No Jesus told us we can’t live by bread alone (Matthew 4:4) Why? Because the things of this world are temporary but the kingdom of God is eternal, do you want eternity? We worship the God of the living and not the dead (Matthew 22:32), so why keep living like a dead man walking?
Why worry about tomorrow or about what you will eat or drink? (Matthew 6:24) God already knows all your needs and will provide them (Philippians 4:19), he is Jehovah-Jireh our God and provider (Genesis 22:14). What can man do to us, if God has already saved your soul? Don’t fear anyone who can kill the body, fear the one who can kill the body and soul into hell (Matthew 10:28)
For God has already provided all our needs through Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life, The Living Water, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will never hunger or thirst again. He sustains all our spiritual needs, for the grass whither and the flower will fade but the Word of God will live forever. (Isaiah 40:8) The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14) to save our eternal souls, The Bread of Life, who has broken and given to us all to pay for the ransom of our sins in Jesus Name Amen
Let brotherly love continue. Hebrews 13:1
Today, October 10th, we celebrate Evans 3rd birthday. Not only has Evan been a blessing to us, but he’s been a big blessing to his brother Tanner. I can recall hearing Evan say many times to Tanner they are best friends. Even though they have their sibling fights, they have a deeper love for each other called “Brotherly Love”
As a Father, it gives me great joy and peace of mind, knowing that these brothers will have each other for their whole life. And they have a “pure” love for one another. Not a love that is based on money or gain, but a love that is based on their heart and soul. A love that will never fail and not change.
Evan is a blessing to us also, he completes our family. As we look back on another year, it’s amazing to see him growing into a young boy, full of wonderment and love. It’s also gratifying to watch his bond with his brother Tanner grows year after year. The covenant that was made to be eternal, the covenant of brotherly love in Jesus Name Amen
Happy Birthday Evan!
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
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
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
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
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
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
Unashamed of Jesus
