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

Jesus is The Truth,Life and Way and he  has come to set us all free,free from the chains of addictions, free from the  sting of death, free from the slavery of sin.

But we must remember to hold to his teachings, meaning its one thing to believe Jesus is Christ, but are you willing to deny yourself, carry your cross, and follow him? To live is Christ and to die is gain

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. John 8:34-35

Sin created by Satan is used to control and destroy you. There is nothing worthwhile produced from  sin except death and destruction. Can you be a slave to sin and still be a Child of God? Of course not, and there is only one way to break that slavery and that through Jesus Christ

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

Jesus is the name above all names, the only one who can save your soul, the true Messiah. When you accept Christ into your heart you become a new creature. No longer a slave to Sin but a Child of the One True King, With Jesus you will be free, as we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength in Jesus Name Amen

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? James 2:14

Faith without works is dead, you probably heard this phrase before what does it really mean? First you have to ask yourself, can you truly have faith without ever proving it? Can you truly be a disciple of Christ if the world never knows it? We are called to be The Salt of The Earth and The Light of The World, can this be accomplished with no works?

Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:15-17

As Christians we need to not only talk the talk but walk the walk, Jesus called us to not only make disciples but to love, help and support one another. We can’t be truly living Gods Word if we don’t take it into action. We need to remember we are Gods hands and feet, we need to strive to do his will

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? James 2:19-20

Just believing in God is not enough, even Satan knows there is a God yet he doesn’t choose to follow him. This is the difference, your actions and lifestyle truly reflect your faith. Its good to believe but if you truly do believe then you have to put it into action

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:26

You can call yourself a Christian but unless people see Christ living in you, your religion is worthless. Just like Peter took a leap of faith and followed Jesus to walk on the water, take your leap of faith in your works in Jesus Name Amen

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5

Satan has been deceiving the world since the very beginning, he has waged war on God because he wants to be God. His mission is to manipulate everyone of God’s creation, that is us, and destroy your soul.

He will feed your ego and encourage you to indulge in your lusts and temptations, which ultimately lead to you own self destruction. Still today more people sell their souls to Satan falling for his lies and deception only to dig their own graves

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Genesis 3:6

Satan doesn’t appear to you as a beast or monster, him and his demons will disguise themselves to whatever you desire. Once you drink from Satans cup he will enslave you with addiction and disease. He will control you to fulfill his will and then ultimately destroy your soul

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Genesis 3:7

Why did God forbid Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit? Because God is holy and sin doesn’t come from him, Satan has created sin to entice and destroy humanity. Once Adam and Eve introduced sin into the world, they corrupted humanity and their own souls

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15

But there is Hope and his name is Jesus Christ. God sent his only begotten Son to the cross and there he crushed the head of Satan. When Jesus said “It Is Finished” he defeated death and Satan. The new covenant has been created and we are redeemed in Jesus Name Amen

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. James 1:13-14

Many people like to blame God when they fall to sin or temptation, but make no mistake about it God is Holy and doesn’t know sin and he doesn’t tempt us. Sin and Temptation come from Satan, he introduced Sin to the world in the Garden of Eden and mankind has been falling in his trap ever since.

Adam blamed his sin on Eve and then eventually blamed God, you need to understand we are all giving the gift of “Free Will”, if you choose sin, its your choice not Gods.

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1:15

We also need to realize sin begins in our minds, when you give birth to sinful thoughts it grows from imagination to reality. This is why we need to be careful what movies and music we are listening to, when you continually have suggestive thoughts of sin, your allowing Satan to enter your mind and tempt you.

As Jesus taught us if something is allowing you to fall or sin, cut it out. You need to guard your heart and not allow yourself to be overcome by temptation and sin.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:16-17

God does not change, he is the same today, yesterday, and forever. And our God is the holiest of holy, he does not tempt us with sin because he doesn’t know sin. Sin is a trap Satan uses to enslave people which leads to death. Every blessing that you have been giving has come from your Heavenly Father not Sin and Tempation.

He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. James 1:18

But God has a cure for Sin and its his only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, by the power of his blood he can break every chain and make us new again so we can be worth to stand before our Holy God in Jesus Name Amen

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. John 6:32

To understand Jesus teaching on “The Bread of Life” we must first remember Exodus 16, when God supplied the Israelites with food, as he sent Manna from Heaven every day to supply there needs as they traveled through the barren desert.

But as Jesus is trying to teach us, don’t focus on your daily needs here on Earth because its all temporary. Focus on the one who will give you eternal life in paradise, that is forever which is Jesus Christ

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

Jesus is our manna that God sent down from Heaven. But this manna is greater as it will give us eternal life not just temporary fulfilment. Whoever believes in Jesus will never thirst or hunger again, all your needs will be fulfilled.

Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” John 6:49-51

Don’t put your faith and trust in the world, put your trust in The Lord who is the only way to eternal life. When you understand this concept you can have peace and strength knowing God supplies all your needs and you don’t have to long or want for the temporary things of this world in Jesus Name Amen

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, Revelation 1:5

What does it mean Jesus is the firstborn from the dead?  Jesus is the only begotten son of God, and by Jewish tradition the firstborn is successor to there father. Jesus was granted all power over Heaven and Earth by our Heavenly Father because he  is the Son of God

By his atoning sacrifice Jesus has freed us from the slavery and condemnation of sin. The King of Kings was willing to lower himself below the angels because  he loves us all

And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father–to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. Revelation 1:6

And by the blood of Jesus and through his new covenant you are worthy to be a priest for God and serve in his Kingdom. Because of Jesus we have been washed of our  sins and worthy to stand before our Heavenly Father

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. Revelation 1:7

Make no mistake one day Jesus is coming back,and when he  does the Christians will rejoice and the rest of the world will mourn,  Because Jesus will be coming  back with the sword for Judgement, All who have been rejecting Christ will be left for the tribulation period which will be hell on Earth

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

Make no mistake Jesus is not just a prophet born of a virgin, Jesus is the beginning and the end, He was here with God when he created the Heavens and The Earth and he will be here long after were gone. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who became human to save the world in Jesus Name Amen

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  James 1:6

Do you really have faith in God, Jesus or The Bible?  There are many who know the Bible or may even know that Jesus is the Messiah, but they still doubt that its true. And although curiosity is a good thing, you have to come to a crossroads eventually, are you going to believe or not.

For we walk by faith and not by sight, but if you really don’t have any faith, what are your walking by? As John Hagee says being a Christian is like being pregnant, you are or you are not. So when your on the fence you can easily get pushed on either side, which side are you on?

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. James 1:7

Many people throw up half hearted prayers to God and expect him to be there magic genie. Yet they don’t want him interfering in other parts of their life that might affect there pleasure and life style.

Jesus said if you have faith the size of a Mustard seed you can move mountains, but what size is your faith really? If you honestly have no faith in God why should he have faith in you?

Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:8

Somebody who jumps between following God and living like Satan is totally unstable. You can’t serve two masters, so which one are you truly going to follow? If you truly want a stable life with peace, hope and victory choose Christ. If you want Peace of Mind follow the Prince of Peace in Jesus Name Amen

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” Luke 23:39

Jesus, The Son of God, was crucified between two common criminals. The King of Kings was treated like an animal, despised and rejected by the world because the world didn’t know him. Even though the one criminal was condemned to death, he still found enough energy to Blasphemy and curse the Lamb of God.

Doesn’t this represent the world we are living in today? The world is a sinking ship full of wars, terror, famine, disease, and death. Instead of everyone turning to their Savior they curse him. Christian persecution is on the rise throughout the world including America

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:40-42

But then you have the other common criminal, even though hes condemned he knows and he confesses that Jesus is The Messiah. And he takes the bold step of asking Jesus to remember him in Heaven. What was the difference? The Fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.

This man knew his only hope to being saved from Hell was Jesus. And he didn’t know if Jesus would reject him or not, but he took a leap of faith and cried out to The Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

Then Jesus does the unthinkable, he promises this common criminal he will be in Heaven with Jesus. How can this be? How can this criminal be worthy of eternal life? Because of the Grace of God thru Jesus Christ at the cross.

We are all either one of these criminals, we either accept or reject Jesus. But none of us our worthy of Heaven, however by the Amazing Grace of God thru the blood of Jesus Christ at the cross, we are all made worthy in Jesus Name Amen
