Only one place for fullness of joy to be found!

Brothers and sisters this is so simple but yet so hard to figure out in life. We search for true joy in so many areas of life. Why? God has revealed to us in His word that there in only one place where that can be found....in His presence! He created us this way!

Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

In life and in death, full joy can only be found in the presence of God. In life, he gives us the Holy Spirit to dwell in us when we follow Jesus. God is with us all the time through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit thus we should have joy to the fullest!

In death, obviously we are immediately ushers into the presence of God for eternity thus we have the fullness of joy in heaven that God has made just for the believers in Christ! Wow!

So if you are going through life and haven’t found true joy...you won’t until you surrender all to Jesus! Come find joy today!

Think before you speak to God!

Make war!

Remember my brothers and sisters we must make war each day as instructed by the word of God against the devil and his tactics to tempt us to sin. Make War!

1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

I pray for you, you pray for me, and let’s win this battle against the devil by the power of the Holy Spirit! Make War brothers and sisters!

Do you bless God?

Tell now!

After we become followers of Jesus, do we immediately tell others about Jesus? Then do we continue til death? We are supposed to....but do we?

Acts 9:20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”

John 4:28-29 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”

If we follow the second greatest commandment, we have no choice but to share Jesus and give folks a chance at eternity instead of hell.

Matthew 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Do you love others? Tell them NOW about Jesus!

Insulted? You are blessed!

For those who think they are too bad....

I want to remind those who may think they are to bad or to much of a sinner for God to save then what God’s Word says:

John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Notice the words in the verses above...whoever, everyone. That includes you and me. I meaning John 3:16 the world is used!!! There is no sin that will keep you away from the grace, mercy, and forgiveness of God. 

Also notice these words in the verses above will come, comes, believes, and calls. It all lies in your hands. You have to take the step towards Jesus and Jesus does the rest. So go now!

God loves you so much that Jesus has shed His own blood to cover your sin, all you have to do is believe and follow. You are bad and so am I but we can be made new again by Jesus!

Come to Him this day won’t you? If I can help just let me know! I am praying for you!
