Thankful for forgiveness!

I come across this verse this morning:

Hebrews 10:17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

I want you to really think about this. If somebody does you wrong you may be able to forgive but do we really ever forget the wrong....no. God does forget! When we receive the forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus our sins and lawless deeds are gone from God’s memory! Whoooo hoooooo! That should make you want to shout some praises this morning! PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS!

Oh how good it makes me feel this morning....I am forgiven and my sins are remembered no more by my God!

Going to be with Jesus! 11-5-15

Know God-know His promises!

Look at these promises from God!

Psalm 91:14-16

“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

1. When we love God, He will deliver us.
2. God will protect us because we know His name. (Personal relationship)
3.When we call out to God, He will answer us.
4.When we are in trouble, He will rescue us and honor us. (Faithfulness in serving Him)
5.When we have salvation in Him (through Jesus), He is our satisfaction! (long life-eternity)

Wow! What a God! Do you know Him personally? You can just ask Him! If you even need some assistance just give me a shout! Would love to help you.

Pay attention to what you have heard! 11-5-15

Where ever I go...God is with me!

Whooooo hooooooo! What a promise to be reminded of this morning!

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

No matter what this day may bring you....good or bad....stand strong and courageous in the Lord. He has your back! Nothing to be afraid of or overwhelmed by because God is right there by your side. Now seriously what better news is there than that? Nothing that I know of!!! I got Jesus and I am secure as secure can get no matter what happens this day!

So join with me this morning and give God praise for His promise that He is ALWAYS there!

Do you love you enemy?

Have you really thought about these words from Jesus before?

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

Wow. It isn’t a joke, Jesus meant it. This is not up for debate, it is a command from Jesus. If you are a follower of Jesus, you were once an enemy of Jesus. Yes you were a sinner, the very reason He went to the cross, thus demonstrating for us that He loved His enemies so much He was willing to die for them. Think on that for a bit!

You see if we love our enemies it is the only way that we might reach them with the good news of Jesus. They see we are different and care about them and maybe just maybe will wonder why we do good to them even when they do bad to us.

This is possibly the hardest thing in life to do....love and do good to those who are not kind and loving towards us, but with the power of the Holy Spirit, it is just the way we can win the world for Jesus!

Love your enemy today!
