We Are Hard Pressed, Struck Down; But Not Destroyed
By Jesus Stripes We Are HealedSteps To Overcoming The Weight of Sin
The weight of guilt can weigh us down, if we do not act to remove it. When we say that I can’t go on, the burden causes us to say “God I cannot take it anymore.” Maybe the burden is sin, it is our charge to find out what it is, examine our lives and isolate the cause of sin, that has caused it to affect our lives. There are people that are in sin who are trapped by the sin. We must examine our lives to isolate the sin.
This weight can cause our lives to be turned upside down. The weight can cause our jobs to be unbearable. It can cause our family life to be unbearable. It can cause our relationships to be unbearable. The weight is a tool of satan, that has taken control of our lives. It rules our lives. We must deal with it; eradicate it ; cast it out of are lives.
The steps of Redemption…………….
1.Identify the sin- Know what you need to eradicate, isolate it
2.Have the right purpose in our lives; This means there needs to be a change in our lives. Are we living for Christ? Do we know Christ? We must know Christ and accept him into our Lives.
3.We must ask for forgiveness From Jesus and ask Him To come into our lives.
4.We must continually confess our Sin, though we are saved, we still will sin and after being saved we must continually confess that sin.
5.Spend time with the Lord each and everyday.
6.We must seek out spiritually minded people. Those who believe in Christ. If they are spiritually minded You know it by the way that they live their lives.
Strange As It Seems
Despite all that we face in this evil world, we still will not erase the hand of God. God’s hand is everywhere. His hand is there because he has a plan for us through His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ. We don’t need a panel of experts on CNN to figure that out. No, the bible is our expert. We don’t need an equal panel of pundants, one republican and one democrat for equal representation. No, the Lord already decreed that His word is true and correct. It is what it is!
Yet we go through life searching for any fad we can lay our hands on. Miracle diets, cosmetic surgery, all because we do not like the way we look. We do not like the body template that Lord gave us. So we destroy our bodies, the way God made us,because we live for this world, this fallen world.
Strange as it seems we rely on everything ungodly to make us godly.
Strange as it seems we call good bad and bad good.
Strange as it seems we destroy anything that God’s law mandate, so that we can discredit it.
Strange as it seems we don’t believe that Jesus Christ already gave us everlasting life.
Strange as is seems we worship political correctness.
Strange as it seems we don’t believe that Jesus is Lord.
Strange as it seems we do not believe that Jesus Loves and cares for us.
Strange as it seems God Loves us and His Son Jesus Christ Loves Us.
Strange as it seems Nothing can ever separate us from the Love and Care of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We will all answer to God in the end, whether you believe that our not. He will look at how we conducted our lives, the contributions you made or did not make, how you lived your life. But first and foremost He will want to know one thing: Did You accept His Son and Our Savior Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life? Only through Christ Can you Know the Father. Come to Christ today…. before it is too late!
God Uses Our Circumstances For Good
God often uses our worldly circumstance for our good. When we live a life that is dedicated to God’s word, and we live by his precepts. Two things are certain in this world: We cannot change events or even alter them. We cannot prevent things done by those who do not know God and His son Jesus Christ. But God takes care of His Own. Even when we make decisions that are not according to his will. When we love the Lord and follow his precepts, he still watches over us in ways that we struggle to understand. God always makes a way for us despite our blunder and missteps. Just keep on serving and following the Lord……. He’s always acting for the Good on our behalf.
There is always a silver lining for good, even in difficult circumstances.
Got Jesus? Got Victory!
In this life we are always faced with trials and circumstances. It does not matter what the trial is; it can be the most trivial thing or it can be one filled with devastation. No matter what the trial there is always, always, hope. God gave us this hope through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that God’s power is limited. Don’t let satan tell you that you want be healed. Don’t let him tell you that God does not care about you. Don’t let him tell you that you have too much of a weight to make it. You see you can make!!!!!
In your darkest hour, you can make it! When you have no where to turn you at the very end of your rope; you can make it! Because Jesus already paid the price for you. He already made a way when there appeared to be no way. So all you got to do to receive your blessing is to accept that Jesus Is Lord; particularly in the midst of the ever present storm.
You don’t need a weather man to tell you you’re in a storm. You don’t need a forecast or a storm warning. No the storm slaps you right in the face; believe me you know it. But God shined his face on you and gave you the grace of protection and suddenly, you can face anything. You can find courage, when three second ago you had none. You can triumph when you did not think you even had it in you. That’s when you have God’s blessing, that’s when you have his protection to lead you out of the storm of sickness. Turn a a bad forecast into life! That’s what God and His Son Jesus Christ are all about; Life. SO LIVE! Let the Holy Spirit comfort you so that You can face and win any challenge or storm.
Dear Lord, somewhere out there whether East, West, North or South, someone is facing a challenge and they don’t think they can make it. Thats alright Lord we know you are protecting them. Father show them your awesome power of peace as they face the storm, send the Holy Spirit the “Helper” , through Jesus Christ to lead us all through the midst of the storm. Lord, it’s your power, not the storm that will triumph. We give honor and praise to your name through Jesus Christ. We thank you for our triumph over the storm. In Jesus name we pray and ask it all Amen. ” By Jesus Stripes We are Healed”.
God Word Is our Protection In A Lost World
You know satan is fast at work, particularly in this world; and people are buying into his lies. It seems everyone is trying to neutralize God and His word. They are attempting to obstricsize, and cloud our hearts, minds, and mouths, from spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and His message is broad and diverse. It’s all around you and the trendy, sinful things in this world, and those who try to to make God’s word, politically incorrect; to defuse and confused us.
If you have no foundation in the word and know nothing about it, you are at risk to eternal damnation, easy game and easy prey for satan’s deceptions and satan’s lies. You know this world has never been a true friend to anyone, so it absolutely apparent that we must learn to stand firm when the winds of deceit blow way over one one hundred miles per hour. If you don’t know Jesus, you will be lost in the shuffle. You can try all the fads, the trends; they are all sinful and have no good purpose, except to condem you to eternal damnation and an eternal life of suffering. You can reverse the trend and find way to salvation by asking Jesus to come into your life, before it’s to late..
God Has A Stimulus Package For You.
God will make a way when there is no way. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God will give you a stimulus when you reach out for the advancement of His kingdom. He will open doors for you and your family. Give of your time, your money, or by ministering to others. We are all minsters for the Lord. We all can reach out and give of oursleves by utilizing the talents that God has given us. You may have musical talents, give it to the Lord. You may have the talent to write, give it to the Lord. You may have the talent to preach the word of God, give it to the Lord.
It is our calling, our charge through Jesus Christ. We have a mission to go ye therefore and preach the gospel, baptizing them in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. That’s our charge to reach out and know that God is Good. He is Good all the time. When we are down and out, He makes a way. When we do not know which way to go, He is there for us. When it appears there is no way out. God is there for us. He’s there with a stimulus, when we are there for Him. Get your heavenly stimulus today! Join me today and give thank to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who intercedes for us to the Father, Almighty God. In the name of Jesus We ask it all…… Amen.
I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it, for you have a little strength, have kept My word and have not denied My name. Revelation 3:8
Applying Gods Word Opens Doors In Our Lives
Our life and direction is often compared to walking a path in the bible. As we follow God’s word, he clears the way for us. Shows us the directions and helps us avoid pitfalls and distractions that so easily ensnares us. He has a map, a road mark that gives us discernment and a blue print of how to navigate the tight curves and bumpy roads of life. It is called the Holy bible. We can learn God’s words for our life as we read the bible and apply it’s truths.
One thing we can be sure of all scripture is inspired by God and has remarkable power to transform you. When you live in obedience to God’s word, you are acting in agreement with his will. This put you in spiriual alignment and in a position to receive his blessings for your life. Without this alignment God cannot bless you, when you do not have God in your life and have not accepted His Son and Our Savior Jesus Christ into your life, you cannot esperience God’s care and direction.
Ask God For Discernment and Wait On Him Prior To A Decision
We need to examine where we are heading. That is, the path or direction that we have chosen to take. As we walk down that path it may seem awkward, the road is bumpy, and it appears that we may have taken a wrong turn; in a word we or lost. How do we get back to the main road and the path that will deliver us to our destination? That is what we do in life; we take the wrong road, because our emotions and our zeal to make something happen always leads us to make decisions that are not entirely the right decisions. We are not on the correct path. Our enthusiasm leads us to do things that are not in the best interest of our family and we need to take stock and wait on the Lord. Wait on his message and be open to hearing it.
It is challenging sometime to here that message. In fact we can miss it. It requires prayer and meditation to discern it. If you are struggling with this, as I often do, Join me in this prayer, perhaps it can help us both:
“Dear Lord, Thank you for your care and for strengthening me with the breath of life today. I give praise and honor to your Holy Name for giving me this day. I know that you are with me for eternity; here doing this life, and the life that awaits me in heaven. Father I pray that you will bless all who read this prayer, that we will all step back and wait patiently for your word and direction. Father I know that we must keep moving for nothing can be accomplished for you through us by inaction. I pray to you that you will work though the people you have placed in our lives so that the pieces of the puzzle can come together to lead us down that right road. The road may be bumpy,but Father you will repair it for the rest of the journey.
I pray Father that you will give all who read this pray the discernment that we will need to make the correct decision, so that Our lives will honor You and Your glory. Help us to protect our family and move forward through each situation in a way that will strengthen us and lead us in the right paths. In this I ask it in the name of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ. I ask it all in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
“I can do all things through Christ who straightens me”
Proverbs 4: 20-27
We Must Learn to Forgive And Forget
Some things in life seems to hang over our head like an albatross. We never get over acts that were committed against us. We allow these feelings to torment us throughout our lives. Likewise we never forgive those who have committed harm against us. Either way we end up living our life in alienation from God and His word, simply because we are not willing to forgive. God’s forgiveness is limited and He established provision through Jesus Christ, His only Son who gave His life for our sins. He freely gave of Himself so we would have an avenue for forgiveness through Him.
This raises the logical question, If Jesus can forgive us, why can’t we forgive others? God is merciful. We do not deserve His mercy, but we can depend on His forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The bible says God forgives and forgets sins. So must we. We must fogive and we also must forget. When we carry feelings of resentment around. it is a huge pity party that stagnates our development. Strangely it seems to be a validation of our feelings, which are unforgiving. We cannot allow this to happen to us and remember how God has freely forgiven us and we should freely forgive others. If Christ can forgive us by dying on the ross and giving us a way to eternal life, we can and should forgive others.
Jesus Opens Doors and Rewards Those Who Accept Him and Follow His Word
I know your works. See I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have little strenght,have kept My word, and have not denied My name…….Revelations 3:8.
Sometimes the door to opportunity is placed right in front of us, yet we do not see it. The great relevation of this is that this door cannot be closed and no one can do anything to shut it. It is God’s way of opening opportunites in our lives. If we have tried to live by His precepts and His word our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, will never leave us or forsake us, even in our darkest hour. Nothing that we do is in vain. The Lord sees our work and has a plan to lead us out of the wilderness.
Prepare in council with the Lord. Read, meditiat and reflect on His word and. Prepare a plan or blueprint for whatever your job is here on earth and wait patiently on the Lord
