God is still the same!

Soloman was King. There words were spoken by him at the dedication of the temple:

1 Kings 8:57-58 

57 May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us, 58 that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers.

We still need the same things today!

1. God be with us.

2. God don't leave us nor forsake us.

3. God help us incline our hearts to You.

4. God help us walk in ALL Your ways.

5. God help us keep Your Holy Word as You have commanded.

Years and years pass by but nothing changes....we still need God, we need the power of the Holy Spirit to lead us and to help us obey the Word. Praise the Lord we have His promise that He will never leave nor forsake those who have called upon Jesus as Lord and Savior!

Thank you Lord Jesus for your love us. We are so grateful but so unworthy!

Are you loving others as God says?

Music Friday-Zach Williams - "Rescue Story" (Official Lyric Video)

Thank you Lord Jesus for rescuing me!!!

The fight is not against man.

A key point to remember that God's Word teaches us is found here:

Ephesians 6:12 

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Our battle in not against man. Our battle is against Satan and his demonic forces. For a man is either born again through the the shed blood of Jesus Christ and following Him as Lord and Savior or he is following the Satan and controlled by him. There is no in between road.

So what is the key to victory.....Jesus and Jesus alone! Only a man that has Jesus can have the victory in life.

Are you a child of God or a child of the devil?

There are only two choices in life. To be a child of God or a child of the devil. You get to make the choice. 

1 John 3:4-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Child of God-follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior striving to do righteousness by obeying the Word of God and striving to be like Jesus which includes loving others even your enemies.

Child of the devil-following what the world says is right, prideful, violent, decides for self if any of bible is relevant for their life, thieves, liars, sexually immoral, loves darkness, will not listen to godly counsel, selfish, filled with hate, murderers.

So which are you? Come to Jesus....His arms are open wide for you!

Want to be free???

As God tells us in His Word there is only ONE way to be free:

John 8:32 

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Know the TRUTH! What is the Truth?

John 14:6 

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus is the Truth and He alone provides freedom. Until you surrender your life to Him you are wasting your time with everything else!

Be free! Follow and obey Jesus!

In turbulent times...

In turbulent times that we are in right now two things to remember:

1.  Matthew 5:43-46 

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

2. Romans 12:19

19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

God's word has spoken. May we obey His Word!!!!!
