Faith, Hope, and Love

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Our Lord Jesus gives us many things, three of these things are faith, hope, and love. These three gifts can be anchors when we are caught in the storm. There are many things that people can take away from you, but they cant take your faith, hope and love when your rooted into the word of God

Faith- complete trust or confidence in someone or something

Do you have faith? Can you truly trust someone with your heart? God demonstrated to us that we can have complete faith and trust in him, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:8) Even though we were still sinners God not only forgave us but sent his only begotten Son to give us eternal life (John 3:16)

Hope- a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain something to happen

Do you have any hope? When we put our hope in God, it’s not an empty hope but an expected hope because God never breaks his promises (Numbers 23:19) When God makes a covenant its forever, because God does not change (Malachi 3:6)

(Agape) Love- selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love

When we think of love, we don’t normally think as deeply as sacrificial. But this is the love God demonstrated us from the cross. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son (John 3:16) How could our Creator show us deeper love than this?

So be strong in The Lord knowing that you have the faith, hope, and love of your Heavenly Father that no one can take away from you in Jesus Name Amen

Peace and Strength

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Where do you get your inner strength from? Where do you get inner peace? There comes a time for all of us, when we realize we can’t do it on our own. That the world gets too hard for us to overcome by our self. But the good news is we have a Savior (Matthew 1:21), his name is Jesus

We can overcome the world because Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), because greater is he living inside of us than he that is living in the world (1 John 4:4) There is no greater power or force in this world than the power of Jesus Christ, who can break every chain (Psalm 107:14) and make the crooked path straight (Luke 3:5)

Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) through him you can have the peace of God in your heart (Philippians 4:7) Just as the angels declared when Jesus was born, Jesus brought good will and peace on Earth (Luke 2:14) Even though the world is in chaos around us, we can have the Peace of Christ inside us

Those who hope in Jesus will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like Eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31) Are you looking for this Peace and Strength today? Look no further than Jesus Christ, ask him into your heart and be filled with the Holy Spirit Amen

 

Love Endures Forever

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5

Do you feel like God has forgotten about you? Or do you feel that you screwed up your life so bad, God could never redeem you again? Take hope in the promise of God, that his love endures forever. We must remember that every day is a new day, Gods love is new every morning and his compassion never fails (Lamentations 3:23)

We must also remember that even though we were sinners, God still demonstrated his love for us by Christ dying for us (Romans 5:8) See God knows the beginning and the end (Isaiah 46:10) You may have fallen down but God knows you’re going to get back up and be victorious through him (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Remember Jesus came looking for his lost sheep (Luke 15:4) If your feeling lost today, know this that God is looking for you, he waiting to reconnect with you to bring you back home to your promise land Jesus didn’t come here to call the righteous but came here to call the sinners back to repentance (Luke 5:32)

The power of the blood of Christ, can break every chain and cleanse us from our sins ( 1 John 1:7) Because Jesus has overcame the world we can overcome also (John 16:33) So praise our Lord Jesus Christ and give thanks to God our Father for his love and mercy truly endures forever Amen

 

God Sent?

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Jeremiah 23:21

Are you following a false prophet or religion? Many people believe just because someone mentions God or the name of Jesus that they are trustworthy, but this not the case. For Jesus warned us there would be many false prophets that will deceive many (Matthew 24:24)

So how do you know who is true? God told us to test the spirits (1 John 4:1) Don’t believe every spirit because many false prophets have gone into the world. So how do we test a False Prophet? Simple does their doctrine or lifestyle match what God commanded in The Bible? For you will know a False Prophet by their fruits (Matthew 7:16)

Also just because someone quotes scriptures, doesn’t mean they are using them in context. Remember Satan used scriptures in the Bible to try and deceive Jesus (Matthew 4) But because Jesus knows the Truth, he was able to easily rebuke Satan’s claims. Do you know the Bible well enough to spot a False Prophet?

Remember the ultimate goal of a False Prophet is to distract you from Gods real plan, which is salvation through Jesus Christ. When you put yourself, money, and objects above God, remember Jesus taught nobody can serve two masters. You can’t serve God and Money (Matthew 6:24) which is why most religions and churches are corrupted.

So what is the Truth? Jesus is The Truth , The Life, and The Way nobody get to God except through him (John 14:6) If you want to follow truth , follow Jesus, and don’t follow manmade doctrines (Acts 5:29) Amen

 

Rest in Christ

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

How do you find rest? Where do you turn when you are weary and burdened?  This is one of the many gifts given to us by God through Jesus Christ. We are never alone, he will never leave us or forsake during the good and bad times (Deuteronomy 31:6)

God tells us those who hope in Jesus will renew their strength We will soar on wings like eagles, we will not grow weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31) Why is this? Because Jesus has overcome the world, therefor we can overcome the world also (John 16:33)

We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13) Do you need strength today? Trust in Jesus, and we will give you strength.  Jesus is The Living Water and you will never thirst again (John 4:14) , don’t continue to struggle on your own, call upon Jesus and you shall be saved (Romans 10:13)

The important thing to remember is Jesus first said “Come to Me” and “Then I will give You rest” Matthew 11:28) We must first realize we need a savior, and that savior is Jesus Christ. (Luke 2:11) Once we accept him as our Lord and Savior, he will give us the peace of God (Philippians 4:7) in Jesus Name Amen

 

 

Our Fathers House

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. John 14:1

At some point in all of our lives, regardless of what your faith or beliefs are, you will have to face our enemy death. Many times people don’t even think about God or the afterlife until a death occurs to someone close to them. But Jesus actually taught us about death and what to expect, right before he was going to be crucified for our sins

Jesus gives us the hope and reassurance by starting out “Don’t let your hearts be troubled” he knows the pain of death, as Jesus wept during the death of his friend Lazurus. But Jesus is telling us were going to be ok, if we believe in Christ as our Lord and Savior , we are saved through him

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 goes on to describe Heaven, in Gods house (Heaven) there are many room, which means God has prepared a place for us with him. As we know Jesus is living Word of God, the Truth, since he told us this we should expect this after death

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

Next Jesus reveals not only did God prepare a place for us but Jesus himself will come back for us and take us to be with him. Isn’t that a comfort to know when we crossover to the other side our Lord will come get us and we won’t be alone

You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14:4

Jesus ends with a strong statement, You know the way to the place (Heaven)where I am going” Many will try to complicate death but its simple. When you give yourself to Christ you belong to God. You are going to be with him in his Kingdom forever. Take comfort in these words and promises that our Messiah delivered to us in Jesus Name Amen

Fear No Evil

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Are you walking through a dark valley right now in your life? Are you fearful or anxious about your future? We don’t have to be because God told us he would never leave or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6) Because God has not given us a Spirit of fear but one of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) So whatever struggle you are facing against, say I will Fear No Evil, because God is with you. And if God be for us who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

You may say then, how can God be with me? Why does he feel so far away? But Jesus taught us that God would send a Comforter and he will stay with you forever (John 14:16) That comforter is the Holy Spirit, the power of the living God, the same power that rose Christ from the dead is living inside you (Romans 8:11)

There will be trials and tribulations, however God blesses those who perseveres under trial, having stood the test, that person will receive the Crown of Life (James 1:12)  So don’t walk through your dark valleys defeated, remember God has commanded us to Be Strong and Courageous for God will be with us wherever we go (Joshua 1:9) in Jesus Name Amen

Nothing Can Separate Us

6 Replies

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:38-39

Is there anything that can separate you from God? For God has chosen us to be his children (John 15:16), and even when we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) and he loved us enough to sacrifice his only begotten Son (John 3:16)

So even though we didn’t deserve his grace and mercy, God gave it to us anyway, why because he loves us. So what could separate us from our Heavenly Father? Sin (Isaiah 59:2) Sin is a rebellion against God (1 John 3:4) So when we knowingly and continually sin,  we are declaring war on God

However, because God loves us, he gave us the grace and mercy through the blood of Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sins. (John 3:16) The blood of the Lamb took our transgressions and made us white as snow. (Isaiah 1:18)

Satan will continually try to separate you from God, through his traps of sin. (2 Timothy 2:26) However if we fix our eyes and mind on Christ (Hebrews 12:2), we can avoid his traps through Christ who gives us strength.  (Philippians 4:13)

Because the blood of Jesus Christ is more powerful than anything in the world (1 Peter 1:19), and has overcome the world,(John 16:33) we can’t be separated because of the power of Jesus Christ Amen

Good News!

Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. Acts 8:30

Do you have trouble understanding the Bible?  The disciple Philip came across and Ethiopian man who was reading the book of Isaiah, but didn’t fully understand it. The Holy Spirit led Philip to talk to the man and explain the scriptures were about the prophecy of Jesus Christ.

Do you ever feel led to talk to someone about Jesus? You’re probably being led by the Holy Spirit, there are many people out there searching and looking for answers about our Lord and Savior

“How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Acts 8:31

The man is looking for someone to explain the scriptures to him, and God led Philip right to him. How do you seek wisdom and knowledge of God? When you don’t understand the scriptures, who do you turn to? It’s important we turn to God for the answers and pray for the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit, as he promised us.

Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. Acts 8:35

Many people view the Bible in a negative light, but “The Good News” is exactly what it is. Regardless of the struggles and obstacles we may face, we always have hope and salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ! That is Good News and everybody needs to know about it. For everyone who calls upon

Yeshua (Jesus)our Messiah (Christ) shall be saved Amen!
