Alway has!

I can say with all I have that God has always done this for me:

Philippians 4:19 

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Everything I have ever needed God has provided in my life. There have been times I thought I needed something but God in His great wisdom knew I did not and guess what….He was right as always!!! We must trust God and know He loves us and wants what is best for us. When we know this deep in our hearts then we knowGod will supply as we have need!

Thank you Lord for being the great Supplier!!!! Especially for supplying salvation threw your precious Son Jesus! We are grateful!

Guaranteed to Stand

Man’s word will sometimes happen and sometimes not. One thing we are assured of it all that God says will happen!!

Proverbs 19:21 

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,

Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

This is why we must know God’s Word and obey God’s Word for He has told us what has happened and what will happen. 

Get in the bible and find out….for if you are in the dark you will regret it, guaranteed!!!

Tom

In all your ways?

We like to be in control don’t we? For us to be in total submission to the Lord though we need to give everything over to God so He can lead not us…have you?

Proverbs 3:6 

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

In all your ways! Acknowledge God as God of all situations and let Him tell you what to do. Thus He will direct your paths and when God directs you are in the best hands!!! Amen??? Yes Amen!

So take your hands off the controls and let God drive for He knows where He is going!!!

Tom

Our goal for everyday!!!

May we be like Jesus and set this for our goal everyday….no matter how hard the task God leads us too!

Matthew 26:39 

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

Jesus did what it took for us to be saved may we do what ever our Lord calls us to this day!

Lord may all of your followers pray:

“Not as I will, but as You will!”

God may we glorify you in every way this day! Amen!

Music Friday!!! Same Power!

Remember this:

Romans 8:11 

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Ready For A Change?

It seems so many folks want some sort of change. Body wise, mind wise, spiritual wise, job wise and so much more. Well guess what….a change is coming soon!!!!

1 Corinthians 15:51

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed

Soon Jesus will come back and everything will change!!! A new Earth a new body for those who are saved and hell for those who  are not! I don’t know about you but I am ready for that new body as this one is wearing out and I am ready for a new perfect earth to dwell on with Jesus leading the way! 

What about it???? Are you ready and prepared for this change??

Tom

In Case you didn’t know!

Just in case you did not know about my amazingly great and awesome God….

Isaiah 40:28 

28 Have you not known?

Have you not heard?

The everlasting God, the Lord,

The Creator of the ends of the earth,

Neither faints nor is weary.

His understanding is unsearchable.

God is everlasting….never had a beginning and will never have an end.

God is Lord of all.

God is the Creator of all.

God never tires or faints under pressure.

God knows all, sees all, hears all, and has all understanding of all situations!

Why would anyone choose not to follow Him???

Tom

Assurance

Short and simple from Our Lord Jesus:

John 6:47 

47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

If you put your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior He promises eternal life. It is that simple! Follow Jesus with a personal relationship and you will be in heaven with Him. 

Have you done this? No really have you done this? Put Jesus as the priority of your life? There is no other in which one can be saved! Do it today!

Tom

Know it!!!

God in His great love tells us in His Word we can know if we are saved….check this out:

1 John 5:13 

13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Many people question if they are saved or not. You can KNOW!!!

Let me help for this is what God’s Word says:

1. Have you admitted you are a sinner?
2. Have you put your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
3. Did you repent of your sins?
4. Did you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and do you believe it in your heart?
5. Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for your sin?
6. Do you believe Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death and sin and death?
7. Are you know walking in faith away from you old life because you are a new creation in Christ thus you are striving to live a life of obedience to His Word?

If you can answer yes to these questions you are saved and you can know it and never doubt it!!! If you need help or have any questions feel free to contact me any time!

There is no greater feeling than knowing you are saved and following Jesus!!! Freedom!

Music Friday!!!

AIn't No Grave (LIVE) - Bethel Music | VICTORY

God has always had the pain for you!

God in His greatness has had a plan for you and for me before we were even formed. The question for each of us is “Do we do God’s plan or Do we make our own plan?” In His great love He forces nothing on us it is all our own choice!

Psalm 139:16 

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

    the days that were formed for me,

    when as yet there was none of them.

It is so exciting to know the awesome God of the universe has a plan specific for me! I want to seek the will of God and then do what He has for me to bring Him honor and glory! I pray you do as well!!!

Thank you God for loving each one of us and laying out a plan for our lives. May we be obedient followers of you!

Tom

No other god!

The world must learn this fact:

Isaiah 44:6b

6b “I am the first and I am the last;

    besides me there is no god.

Only One God!!! The Lord has spoken! 

This means the only truth is spoken by Him and we need to heed His ways!!! Nothing overrides God!

Let us be wise and follow the only God!!!!

Tom

God will tell you!

God is listening and God is moving and God will tell you awesome things if you call out to Him!

Jeremiah 33:3 English Standard Version (ESV)

3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

The big question is are you going to call out to Him and then follow Him with your life??? These great things God wants to show you will only be shared with His children! This who have called upon Jesus as Lord and Savior!!!

Much of the bible I did not understand until Jesus became my Savior then God revealed great and hidden things to me!!!! Find out for yourself….call to Him!!!! 

God is so good!!!

Tom

Are you searching for Faithfulness?

Faithfulness is hard to find these days. Mankind is fickle. If you want true faithfulness there is only one place to turn…To God.

Lamentations 3:22-23 

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

    his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;

    great is your faithfulness.

God is the very definition of Faithfulness! As His love never ceases for those He created in His image…Us! His mercy He gives over and over. 

So if you are looking for someone to be faithful and who will never leave you nor forsake you at any time…then Jesus is the One whom you are looking for!!! Call out to Him today…you won’t be disappointed!!!

Tom

Music Friday-I just need You!

Get a little funky this Friday. Yes Lord We all just need you!

Why the world is falling apart!

It is very simple to figure out why the United States and the world is falling apart.

Colossians 1:17 

17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

In Christ ALL things are held together. Without Jesus ALL things fall apart.

This is why those who are in Christ can endure all things until Jesus come for they have God dwelling inside them giving them the strength they need from day to day.

The only way this world of ours can make a come back is in Christ…..will they turn to Him???? Pray my friends….pray!

Tom

No Greater Love!

Stop for a moment and ponder this verse:

1 John 3:1a

3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

We can have the privilege of being called a child of God! Do we really understand this? Do we really know how awesome that is? And if we do, do we like a life worthy of being called a child of God and bring Him honor and glory in everything we say and do???

It is important to understand though, the only way to become a legitimate child of God is through the shed blood of Jesus upon the cross. You must put your faith and trust in the Son Of God to become a child of God!

Thank you for your great love Lord and the opportunity to become your child! We are not worthy but we are grateful!

Tom

Have you exercised today?

All of us need exercise. I hope sometime today you get that body moving! It is good for you! But there is an exercise we all need daily that we tend to maybe not think about….godliness!!! Look at this Word from God:

1 Timothy 4:7b

7b and exercise yourself toward godliness.

It takes work to be godly. We will never achieve perfection in it until we are resurrected but we strive for it each and every day. Read your bible, obey it, pray, and love others. That will help get you on your way to godliness.

Have you exercised toward godliness today? Do not neglect your spiritual disciplines!!!! 

Tom

Be separate!

Remember what God’s word says today as a follower of Jesus!

2 Corinthians 6:17 

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

You must be separate from the world and the way they live their lives. Yes we must live in the world but we live by the word of God not the standards that the world says is ok.

Think about that as you head out on this Monday…is your speech godly, is what you allow in your head godly such as lyrics to your music and the shows you watch on tv, are you being fair and honest at work, are you helping those less fortunate than you, and are you sharing the gospel. These are a few examples of being separate from the world!

Let’s be like Jesus today not the devil!

Tom

Only One answer!

The book of Isaiah have an important verse for us to think and and then answer. Here it is:

Isaiah 64:5c 

5c We are constant sinners;

    how can people like us be saved?

First, we are sinners! If you read the bible it is very clear!

Second, there is only one way for us to saved…through Jesus.

John 14:6 

6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Only one way to heaven and be free from the condemnation of sin…Jesus. 

Have you answered that question for yourself? Does your life reveal that you are a follower of Jesus?

Find the answer and make your move…you will not regret it!

Tom
