Do we have true faith?

Do we truly trust in GOD?  Jesus tells us that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains.

And if we call ourselves children of GOD, co heirs with Jesus, saved through faith, by grace, then surely we can trust our FATHER in Heaven with absolutely everything?

The question is, do we?

Today let us reflect on our faith.  How many mountains have you moved?  For myself, none.  But I can tell you one thing, whenever I have leaned on my FATHER for anytime, HE has never let me down.  No, not once.  I might not have liked the answers I received to some of my prayers, but I do know that my prayers are always heard.  GOD is listening.  GOD is loving.  GOD wants you and I to be saved.  HE is giving us every single opportunity to come to HIM in true submission.  Today, let us turn to our FATHER and trust in HIM alone.  

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for being the most wonderful FATHER anyone can ever have.  I thank YOU for YOUR grace.  I thank YOU for YOUR love.  FATHER make my heart belong to YOU alone and let me trust only in YOU.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay trustingly GOD blessed today!

Jesus promised to return!

This verse is from the Book of Matthew.  And if we go to Revelation, the vision given to John tells us exactly the same thing.  GOD is a GOD of promises kept.  GOD promises and always delivers.

Are we ready to be taken up into the clouds by Jesus?  Are we ready to leave this world and go to our eternal homes with Jesus?

All it takes is a simple faith in Jesus as the Only Way to GOD.  The simple faith that Jesus is our Redeemer.  Jesus has paid the price for our sins for once and for all.  

We need to make the confession and admit that we are sinners.  We cannot get to Heaven by our good works.  That is not the way. 

Today, believe in Jesus.  Confess our sins.  Call on GOD for forgiveness. Be saved for eternity.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  Bless me Oh Lord.  I want to spend eternity with YOU. Forgive my sins FATHER, as I forgive those who sin against me.   I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!

 

Beware of false Prophets!

 Our actions as children of GOD need to reflect our Christian values.   We simply cannot go on doing the things we did in the past.

Our language, our characters, our actions and behaviour must reflect the light of Jesus on earth.

And a false prophet is not so easy to recognise.  But what we can do is to look at the actions of the person.  

• Do their words match their actions?
• Do their deeds manifest the light of Jesus on earth?
• Are they speaking with forked tongues to deceive?

It is indeed as Jesus warned His disciples.  Beware of false prophets!  They come disguised as ferocious wolves indeed.  So ensure that when you meet people, and they claim to be children of GOD that their lives and all their ways manifest truly that they are.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for warning me about false prophets.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  My Lord, my Saviour, my Redeemer.  Amen.

Stay carefully GOD blessed today!

Pray without ceasing!

 

We are told by Paul here to rejoice always.  To pray without ceasing.  To give thanks in all circumstances.  For this is the will of GOD in Christ Jesus for each one of us.

And this is especially true today as we see the things of this world growing strangely dimmer and dimmer and darker and darker.

So today, let us rejoice that we know our Saviour, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Let us pray to Jesus without ceasing about everything.

And let us be obedient to the Will of GOD our FATHER.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for all that I have, for all that I am, for all that YOU have given me.  I thank YOU for each and every little thing that happens to me each day.  I thank YOU in the Holy name of Jesus Christ.  My Lord and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay obediently GOD blessed today!

The LORD will show us the way!

 When our plans start to fall apart, we need to ask ourselves one question.  Did I do this for GOD for myself?

If we are doing things for the glory of GOD or for our own selfish motives, that is the question.

GOD has a plan for each and every one of us, and I am not talking about predestination, which is a whole new topic.

GOD has put us on this earth and breathed life into us for HIS glory and to HIS purpose.

So if it feels as if the earth has slipped out from under your feet, go back to the reason that this has happened and see if your motives were selfish or motivated to give Glory to GOD.

Because in all things and under all circumstances, we are to give the Glory to GOD.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, tonight I cry out to YOU.  Show me YOUR perfect plan for my life and stop the plans that I have which do not bring glory to YOU.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay obediently GOD blessed today!

Jesus is coming quickly!

 Revelation 22:7  "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."

Jesus gives us a warning that He is coming quickly and at the same time, Jesus gives us a blessing.  Jesus blesses those who keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of Revelation given to John.

Jesus has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  Jesus sent His Comforter, the Holy Spirit to us when He left the earth and ascended into Heaven after He rose from the dead.

What are we to do?  We are to keep His commandments.  The greatest of these being that we love the Lord our GOD with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our strength.  The second - that we love one another as ourselves.

Repent today.   Admit that we are sinners.  Believe in Jesus.  Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and we are saved from a life of eternity in hell.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that Jesus says that He is coming quickly.  FATHER, I know that I am a sinner.  Forgive my sins.  I believe in Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour.  My Redeemer lives.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!

Children of GOD

How blessed we are!  We know Jesus Christ.  We know that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  We also know that no one, yes, no one, comes to the FATHER except through the Son.

This is the love that GOD has for you and for me. GOD knows that we are sinful.  GOD knows that no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot not sin.

And with that in mind, GOD sent HIS Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross of Calvary so that you and I can have redemption of our sins through the blood of Jesus spent on that Cross.

Jesus was punished for your sins and for mine.  

We accept Jesus Christ.  We confess our sins.  We are filled with Holy Spirit.  And we are called children of GOD.  And that is what we are.  Co heirs of the eternal heaven with Jesus.

"The reason that the world does not know us, is that it did not know Him. "  True today.  The gate is narrow and few shall find it.

Matthew 7:14  "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Do not be deceived.  Do not be of this world.  Find the gate.  Enter in. 

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I may call myself a child of YOURS because I believe in Jesus and I know that I am a sinner.  FATHER forgive my sins and fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truthfully GOD blessed today!
