A Loving Action Is Not Just A Feeling, It’s A Choice

 1 Corinthians Ch 13 : 4-5

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

The worst that you can do to a person is to reject them, ignore them or abuse them. The best that you can do to a person is to love them, accept them, and help them on their journey through this life…

A Loving Action Is Not Just A Feeling, It’s A Choice

Why is love in such a short supply today? Too many people are trying to live their lives by the world’s standards and not by God’s standard. No one is willing to believe in the Word of God, and very few are willing to take the chance of doing something for someone else that does not directly give them some type of benefit.

God’s love is eternal, and He will love every person who has ever existed, but He will not force any person to live according to His standards. This is a choice that must come from that person’s heart. Love is the best feeling that life has to offer, but it is also an action verb; you choose to love someone. The difference between puppy love and real love is that true love lasts beyond the puppy love stage. 

You can like a person from a distance, but you will only love a person when you get to know them. You have to get to know God personally before you can make a real decision about the Kingdom of God.

 Loving the Lord from a distance is not real love. Knowing the concept of God intellectually will never come close to knowing Him in your heart. God wants a relationship with you, with every person that He has created. He is willing to wait until your last breath and actually beyond that last breath to catch you in His arms if it is necessary. He is a patient God, and He already knows who will answer the call to come into the Kingdom of God, but He is a fair God and He is willing to bless all the people of this world with the knowledge of His Dear Son, Jesus Christ. You must accept Jesus Christ  into your heart, and make a word confession of your belief in His Son. If you make this choice sincerely with all of your heart, then Jesus will come into your heart and into your life. You will become a permanent citizen in God’s Kingdom.

If you do not accept Father God’s gift of salvation through HIs Son Jesus, He will accept your decision with sadness in His heart, because He knows what happens to those who die in their sins. They go to a place where HIs love, grace, and compassion can never go, to the place of darkness, hopelessness, and despair.

So, what are you gaining by running away from or ignoring The One who made you and who died on the cross for your sins? NOTHING. You gain temporary pleasures in this world and a whole lot of grief and destruction.

Please consider the truth of what the world has to offer against, the love, grace, hope and joy that will fill your heart if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

The Salvation Prayer - Please Repeat These Words:

Lord Jesus, Please Come Into My Heart, Right Now. I Accept Your Gift of Salvation. I Am So Sorry For All Of My Past Sins. Please Deliver Me From The Grief, The Wrath, And The Destruction of My Life And Show Me How To Love Myself And Others With Your Love, In Jesus Name I Pray, AMEN

God Is In Control!

 Ephesians 1:19

and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might...

I heard the Lord say that everything is in His hands. When  I got up this morning, I saw an image in my mind of God hands grasping two supersonic missles. He grasped them firmly in His hands and He did not let go - and the thought that came to me was that this respresented a huge threat to the world, but the Lord is in control, and nothing in this world happens until He allows them to happen.

Our trust must be in the Lord and not what we see or hear from the media or the politicians. They believe that they have the final say in this battle between good and evil, but this battle is an ancient one, and the Lord Jesus has already won this war.

His enemies are desperate because they know that He is coming back to rule and to reign over the earth. People who live in fear will always make the wrong choices for their lives. We cannot continue to live in fear, we need to be willing to trust Him with our lives. Fear blinds the heart to the love and providence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When we allow fear to dictate all of our actions, we actually set ourselves up for failure. If we choose to believe in Jesus, we can never fail because the goal of our lives is not to be perfect or to get money, power or fame, our purpose is to follow in the steps of Jesus Christ and to learn to be just like Him. 

The Lord is saying don't be afraid of what is coming; we need to keep our eyes upon Him, and focus upon His love for us. He will never leave us or forsake us. We need to be serious about our faith and pursue a deeper relationshp with Jesus. He is the author and the finisher of our faith...

Where God has you is where He will lead you to safety

 Psalm 23: 4,5 - God Loves You

v4  I will not be afraid when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. This is because you (LORD) are with me.  Your rod and staff make me feel brave. 
 

v5  You prepare a table in front of me when my enemies are present. You put oil on my head. My cup is so full that it overflows.
  

The Lord woke me up after a pleasant enough dream. It was a dream where I was promoted at a job that I was working at, but many of the other people working in that department would probably be fired because even though they were doing the work that was required of them, they did not have the proper training to keep their job. In other words, they should not have been hired because they did not have the required training needed to keep the job.

It was not their fault, the people who owned the company hired all these people who were not qualified so that they could get the work contract from their customer. This customer found out about this deception, and that is why everyone who was not qualified would lose their job. I was told by my supervisor that I had nothing to worry about because I had already taken the training and would keep my job. In fact, I was told that I would be promoted to a better position with a better salary.

As I woke up from this dream, the Lord told me that I must post this article to let people know that there will be a financial crisis in the near future. I was not told when it would happen, I was not given any dates, but It felt like an issue that would come up in the near future.

Many people have prophesied that a financial crisis is looming ahead, and this has been stated by believers as well as non-believers. God always tells His people what is about to happen before it does happen. It is up to us to listen for His word about the circumstances of our lives, because even though the Lord gave me a message that this will happen it does not mean that I will be affected by it in the same way as someone else would be affected.

We need to seek God’s will for our lives and to ask Him what we need to do to survive any crisis that may come in the future, and then when we get the answer we need to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit as He guides us in the best and in the worst times of our lives.

Have you been qualified to survive the coming crisis in our world? If not, your first step is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior; you need to pursue a real relationship with Jesus Christ.

You should read the word of God, and pray and worship in His presence. You must be willing to be guided by His love, and allow the Holy Spirit that lives within you to transform your heart and mind.

The Lord will love us, guide us, and provide for us in the coming days - we just need to trust Him with our lives. He will never leave us or forsake us.

Now you can say, Thank God I Am Saved!

Jesus Loves All The People In The World

 Mark Chapter 10: 17-21

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.  You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’

“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy."

 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

I was waking up this morning, in that place where you just finished dreaming and you are slowly waking up, and i heard the Lord speaking to my heart. He said, 'My heart aches for the people of China'. He knows that there are countless people dying in China, and that life is so much more difficult for them than it needs to be. The common people have no say about what is happening, They have obeyed the govt policies even when those policies have hurt them so much. There is no comfort for the people when their loved ones are dying, their economy is hurting because of bad business practices, and the will of the Chinese communist party is upheld because of fear.

It is only in the shaking that hard human hearts will wake up to the realities of their lives. You will not believe in God until you have no other option to do so. This is true all over the world. There is not a place anywhere that is not affected by weather, war, and bad politics. We all need to understand the message that the Lord is shouting to the inhabitants of the earth. - what you sow you shall also reap….

The non believers want to believe that they can do this life by themselves, they worship at their own altar and believe that man has the capacity to solve its own problems. Well, it is very hard to solve a problem that you cannot see. If you are unwilling to believe that there is a problem in the human heart that only the love and grace of Jesus can fix, you will never see your own faults and weaknesses.

The signs are all over the place, yet most people want to go on with their lives as if there is always another solution to be found over the next hill, and every time they come over the hill, they find a new problem.

Jesus loves the people of China, and He wants to help them, but first they must come to the realization that they need His help, and be willing to repent of their sins. It will not be easy for them to admit it to themselves, much less to the whole world,  but it is the only solution that they have to save their tattered nation…

To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected in Jesus Christ

 TRUST ONLY IN GOD

Psalm 146: 3-4

 Do not trust in human leaders. Nobody that is only human can save you. When they die, they return to the ground. On that day, their plans come to an end.

Why does everything seem upside down in the world today? It is because too many people in the world are relying on the human leaders in the world to solve all the problems in the world. The problem with this viewpoint is that humanity has had PLENTY OF TIME to solve the issues of the human heart and it is yet to be resolved.

As the People of the Living God, we have to continue to trust only in His mercy and His love. We must pray about the leadership in our countries, that the will of God will be done despite what our human leaders truly desire to happen in our communities...

We are expected to keep God's word in our hearts and the live according to His standards; the world will not accept His ruler ship until they accept Jesus Christ into their hearts, and that is something that may never happen for those who believe that humanity can save itself.

   The bible says that we cannot place our trust in human leadership, so we must be ready to live for God no matter what happens in our lives today. We must not blindly believe everything that we hear in the media and the mainstream.  Seek God's will for your life and never give up believing in God's mercy and His grace. Allow Him to show you the truth about what is truly happening in the world today, and then make yourself ready to prove His word by interceding with prayers of thanksgiving and supplication. 

  You must make a stand to live only for the One who died for you and who loves you with all of His heart, mind and soul, our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ...

  

What Do The Signs On Jesus Body Mean?

Hebrews chapter 5:7-10

 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.  Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him  and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

What could we learn from Jesus that He Himself had to learn? Obedience to the will of God in every circumstance. Jesus was the living embodiment of the Word of God, so He could not disobey the very thing that justified His existence, but He did learn obedience through suffering and pain. This was not suffering and pain that He caused by His actions. He suffered because of His righteous actions. He was the only man who walked on the earth who had never sinned. 

So, at the cross, He was given the precious signs of His suffering and His righteousness: The thorns that pierced His head, the bloody stripes on His back from the Roman soldiers, the nails that were pounded into His flesh, the spear wound in the side of His body, the sins of the world, past, present, and future that He bore in His soul, and the scorn and hatred of the unbelievers that He had come to save...

These signs are the evidence and proof of who Jesus is and what He experienced as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. They will always be a part of Him and He is a different person because of this experience. He knows what true suffering is, and He was willing to take the blame for every man, woman and child so that they would not have to suffer forever for their sins. That is why it is so sad for Him, and for those of us who believe in Jesus to think about those who will experience eternal judgment for their sins because they will refuse His sweet gift of salvation.

Those who reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ will receive eternal suffering as the price that they must pay for their sins. We as believers of Jesus Christ will have the signs of our Lord Jesus upon us, and the sufferings we experience in our lives will be the signs of who we have become in Christ Jesus. The Blood of the Lamb covers all our sins and transgressions, and restores our hearts and minds. These trials will not hinder us in life if we continue to live for The Lord and not give up or lose hope. The signs in our soul will show our maturity and spiritual growth as we choose to live by God's word.

While we may suffer, there is hope because He will get the glory as we lay down our lives for Him as He laid down His life for us.  There will be victory and joy in our hearts as we allow Him to live through us, and as He wins our battles against our enemies. He will never leave us nor forsake us, so we know that He already has a plan for our lives, we just need to be willing to go along with His purposes for our lives.

Without the trials and tribulations of life we would never be able to understand what is good or bad, or what is love and hate. We would never realize how much we need a savior because of our imperfect and corrupt human nature. 

Faith That Is Not Tested Is Not Faith At All...

If you want to know what true love is, ask the savior to come into your heart and make you whole:

Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer.  

 AMEN

The Real Truth In Our Hearts

 Psalm 19:9

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.

What is truth? So many people believe that they know the truth about everything in the world. If you encounter someone who says this about themselves, take it as a sign of caution, because we are not God. We cannot know everything that there is to know. We Are Here To Learn About God, Love, And Who We Are In Jesus Christ!

So, when someone tells you that they have the secrets to life, and this knowledge does not originate from the Word of God, do not believe the things that they say. They could say some good things, they may even have a few good words that seem wise, but if they do not declare themselves a follower of Jesus Christ, and if they have never read the bible, step away from them and the situation you find yourself in. Be courteous, and be kind, but Do Not Let That Person Feed You Their Truth Right Into Your Soul...

This is serious - we cannot live for ourselves, or for vain knowledge and expect to enter the Kingdom of God. You either live for Jesus Christ and His word, or you live to satisfy your view of life and the cosmos. The two will never be the same.

Life saving truth comes when you realize that you need a savior because you cannot save yourself. Once you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you will be able to see things from God's perspective, and your life will finally have a purpose. His will for your life will give you hope. 

And how will the truth change your life?  It Is Not About The Truth That You Hear, It Is About The Truth That You Know...

Just start to live your life for Jesus, and you will begin to know the real truth that will transform your heart and mind.

 You cannot understand why people choose to become a christian until you begin to see things through the eyes of Jesus.  He will heal of your soul wounds, He will heal your body. He will give you everything to live a peaceful and successful life. Once you were poor, but now you are rich in heart and mind and resources. 

The truth of living for Jesus Christ is simple - Give Him your life and your problems and He will deliver your from your enemies and give you the victory in your life....

Prayer of Salvation - If you need someone to love your with all of His heart, to guide you to victory in every circumstance, then repeat this prayer of salvation:

Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer.  

AMEN
