Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
The LORD is near to everyone who prays to him, to every faithful person who prays to him.
If you start to feel far from God stop letting the world distract you and make time to spend with Him. No relationship can grow if the 2 don’t keep the lines of communication open. Pray without ceasing!
He did evil things because he was not serious about dedicating himself to serving the LORD.
– 2 Chronicles 12:14 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
If living for God is not your highest priority you leave the door wide open for the enemy to tempt you to sin.
And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant
– Matthew 20:27 (American King James Version)
God’s idea of leadership is different from the world’s. In order to become the greatest leader you must become the greatest servant.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love other believers. The person who doesn’t grow in love remains in death.
– 1 John 3:14 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Do you really love your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you demonstrate that love with your actions?
He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.
1 John 5:12 (American King James Version)
Life isn’t found in Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed, Moses, nor any other religious figure. Only Jesus Who is actually God in a fleshly form can bring you life.
Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit
– 1 Peter 3:18 (Weymouth New Testament)
Jesus only had to sacrifice Himself one time to take care of all the sins of humanity. That is how powerful His Blood is! If you mess up, don’t run from Him, run TO HIM! He will forgive and restore you.
Thus says the LORD, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest?
Never try to box God into a mold of your expectations. He is GOD. He will do what He wants to do when He wants to do it and His creation isn’t going to boss Him around.
Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks.
Worrying is an act of the sinful flesh. God wants us to waste no time doing that. Instead take that same time and energy and pray to Him that He will have His way and strengthen you in all you go through knowing with a grateful heart that He will.
Those who say that they live in Him must live the same way He lived.
You want to know how you should live your life? Jesus is our example. And remember that He said we would do greater works than He did.
We have been set apart as holy because Jesus Christ did what God wanted Him to do by sacrificing His body once and for all.
– Hebrews 10:10 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Every sin we have commited has been taken care of by Jesus’ Blood on the cross. No more sacrifice is required and to imply any differently would insult the work that He did for us.
