We Are Hard Pressed, Struck Down; But Not Destroyed
By Jesus Stripes We Are HealedJesus Gave Us Eternal Life and He Is Lord
God created this universe and everything in it. If you thrive on earth it is not because of your extreme confidence or talent, it is by the grace of God. Don’t resign yourself to fall into the trap of self adulation. Accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. Ask Him to forgive you or your sins and ask him to come into your life. acknowledge that he paid the extreme sacrifice by dying on Calvary for our sins. With this one act of love he gave us the gift of eternal life.
Be Strong And Of Good Courage
Everything we have belongs to God. God is the ultimate source of our wealth and everything we have, want, or need. When you begin to understand this principle you can give back to the Lord your time, trust, resources, or any area that you feel so moved. God will in tun give back to you by putting wonderful people in your life, to give you hope. Stay focused on God and remember to give thanks and honor to Him everyday.
This verse was quoted in Hoosiers. The scene where the minister prayed before Coach Dale’s first game. It applies to your life as well……………………….
Joshua 1: 7- 10- “Be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do all the law that Moses has given you (The law given to Moses from God, the Ten Commandments); do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. (God wants us to prosper). This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage: do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Worship At Anytime; Anyplace
3 John 1: 2- “I pray that you will prosper and be in health, just as your soul prospers”.
God promises that His Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Because of that promise, we know that as we study, meditate on, and memorize Bible verses, God will use them to bear fruit (show progress and prosperity in your life). The Bible is intended for more than just reading. God gave it to help us transform our hearts and lives.
John 4:24- While you may desire a familiar place to worship, Jesus points out that worship is not a matter of location or position, but of the spirit, (meaning you can worship the Lord at anytime or at any place). If you focus too much on the time and place, there is a danger that worship will over shadow the one you worship (Almighty God and His son Jesus Christ).
We worship in the spirit because “God is Spirit”. So we should relate to him in Spirit (your thoughts and understanding of spiritual ideas and direction ). God gives you this understanding as you draw closer to him and seek his word. God’s divine nature is a mystery at first. In time you will discover who God is, worship becomes more complete and fulfilling. Pray to God in the Name of Jesus, who saved us, when he died on the cross. No one can get to God, unless they acknowledge Jesus as their Savior. Begin or end every prayer, by saying “In the name of Jesus, I pray….Amen”.
God Will Supply All Our Needs
“The more you know God, the more your faith and trust will grow. You can have faith that God not only knows your need, but He will meet them. As your fellowship with God increases, faith will replace fear, and peace will supplant anxiety. If you struggle with anxiety, trust God to lead you through any situation.
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For after these things the Gentiles* seek. Your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” Matthew 6: 31-33.
Transformed By The Renewing Of Our Mind
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
With the stresses that the world puts on us, the pressure that we are subjected to, the so called politically correct things we are instructed to do, this sinful world that we live in is satan’s workshop to conform us to his thinking. Make no mistake; satan is out to not only destroy you, but to destroy the world. Nothing in this world is good, nothing in this world can give you hope, salvation or security. So we must be diligent to not allow ourselves to be conformed and molded to the sinful shape of the world. We must be diligent in our work of transforming our minds and and our walk in life to the shape and purpose of the Lord.
Despite this charge, that is our purpose; to renew our minds, transform our minds on daily basis, by staying in the word, meditating on the word, hearing the word, hearing and hearing the word, over and over again. That is our unique purpose though our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
You do this by studying the word of God through the Holy Bible, not just on Sunday, you don’t have to dress up to be transformed! Jesus will accept you , “Just As You Are”. Yes you can get right out bed and work on transforming your mind. Before you get dressed for work, you can transform you mind. Don’t wait for Sunday to do this. Work on it every single day, for the rest of your life here on earth, so that you will prove to everyone, wherever you go the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
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..
