Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”
Wow imagine that. Before you ever took your first breath of air God already knew you and had a plan for your life. That’s awesome!
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
This verse comes from the Book of Acts. Jesus had already gone to be with the Father in heaven. But if you read this carefully it says that EVERY ONE was healed. If God could heal like that then, He can do it today…if you only believe!
Turn to Me and be saved, all who live at the ends of the earth, because I am God, and there is no other.
In times when you really need help do you remember to look to God before you call everybody else first?
because the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.
– Psalm 149:4 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
God doesn’t enjoy watching His people suffer as some would have us believe. He will reward your faithfulness.
Let the LORD be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
Don’t believe the lie that God wants you to be poor. How can Jesus’ message be spread throughout the world if we don’t have the money to do it?
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Can unbelievers see the Holy Spirit in you?
They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
– Acts 16:31 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
God doesn’t just want to see that you are saved but your entire family with you. Stand in faith for it!
Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
– Isaiah 26:4 (American King James Version)
Feel like you don’t have the strength to go on? Look to God for help. He’s got strong arms!
Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Like any good father, God loves to bring joy to His children. If you truly put Him first in your life He can make your dreams come true.
“The one who doesn’t take up his cross and follow Me isn’t worthy of Me. The one who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life because of Me will find it.”
What is the purpose of a cross? It is used to crucify. So you carry your cross to to keep your flesh or the “old man” crucified. You lose YOUR life to gain His resurrection power.
