I have hidden YOUR word in my heart!

 Dear fellow Christ followers, the word of GOD is very important to us as it keeps us on the straight and narrow.  

We need to read it and feed on it and meditate on it day and night.  When we walk close to GOD and know HIS word the Holy Spirit will convict us when we stray away from the way GOD wants us to live our lives.

Daily, we need to "fill" up on the word.  Daily we need to pray about everything and constantly ask our FATHER to overwhelm us with HIS Holy Spirit which will remind us to walk in the ways of Jesus.

So let us not skip the daily reading of the Word or the fervent prayers about everything in our lives.

Let us become habitual Christ followers and doers of the Word and not just hearers of the Word. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit and overwhelm me with the Holy Spirit so that I may keep YOUR commandments and not sin against YOU.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!

Facing trials

 Dear Christ followers this has been a year of trials.  And I am pretty sure very few of you feels otherwise about it.

But we should always turn to the Scriptures and pray to Jesus when life gives us trials.

James writes about the trials here in the passage above.  He told his readers that we should consider it pure joy when we have to face trials.  This is extremely difficult.  But one thing I do know is that during trials, we can surely grow in our faith during hard times.

I speak from experience.  When times are tough, my faith grows and grows.  I know that my Redeemer is with me and if I lean into HIM enough, I find HIM more.

I do believe James is right.  Trials test our faith, and this produces perseverance, because we are not running a race on earth, we are running the race reaching up towards Heaven.

This does produce a maturity that comes from knowing that Jesus is with us every step of the way.  HE will never leave us nor forsake us.  This I do know.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that during trials, I lean into YOU and I know that YOU never leave me.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!

The grace of GOD!

 Dear Christ followers, we are able to receive grace from GOD in abundance when we need it for good works.

Our FATHER knows our needs and when we are working according to HIS will HE will provide for us and supply our needs in abundance.

What we need to do is to die to self and start to live for our FATHER.  We need to pray about everything and in every situation.

We need to ask GOD for wisdom and for good works to do.

We need to learn more and more about GOD each day.  We can do this by studying our Bibles, praying and fellowshiping with other Christ followers.

But the one thing is certain, our FATHER is faithful while we do HIS goodwill. 

So today, let us resolve to ask our FATHER earnestly to show us HIS will and then to go and do our best to fit into that and to whatever it is that HE requires of us.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, today I humbly pray that YOU show me YOUR will and give me the wisdom to know what YOU want me to do.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Special gifts

Peter was writing to the disciples and those spreading the Gospel in the early church. Each one of us have also been given special gifts.

To know the gifts of the Spirit, we need to read our Bibles. They are listed in many Bible verses starting in the Old Testament, (Isaiah 11:1-3) but I have used the one below:

(1 Corinthians 12:7-11) 

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” 

As we go about our lives and get to know the nature and character of our LORD and SAVIOUR more, we should think about these gifts and ask our FATHER in Heaven to direct us towards using our gifts to the benefit of others, and in the spreading of the Gospel on earth.

What we should not do is not use the gifts that GOD has given us.  This is disobedient to the Will of GOD.  We need to think on the lazy servant who buried his talent and returned one back to the master when he returned.  (Matthew 25: 14-30).

Today let us pray to our FATHER to give us the opportunity to use our talents.  And if we believe we do not have any talents, we can pray, especially for wisdom and it will be given to us liberally.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I have been given spiritual gifts.  FATHER give me opportunities to use them to YOUR glory.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Test the Spirits!

 Dear Christ followers as we are living in such times of turmoil and strife, we need to be awake, aware and watchful. The evil spirits that roam this earth will often present as "good".  In fact they are a trap to lure Christ followers to the devil.

The best way to test the spirits is to know the word of GOD.  The Bible is the very best reference of the Bible.

When in doubt, turn immediately to your Bible and see what GOD or Jesus says.

We simply cannot afford to be complacent in these darkening times.  This is our salvation we are putting in jeopardy.

Be aware that prophesy still exists today and people may hear the word of GOD and be offering it, but if it deviates in any way from what the Bible has prophesied, it is false.  

Teachers may tell you their "interpretations" of the Scriptures, test them against what the Bible says.  

The devil roams the earth seeking souls to accompany him to his everlasting place in hell.  We cannot go with him.  We must remain faithful to our LORD and our SAVIOUR, Jesus Christ.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU grant me a spirit of discernment to know whether the spirit is good or evil.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay Jesus Blessed today!

The LORD bless you and keep you.

This is truly one of my favourite blessings in the Bible.  It says so much about the nature and character of our FATHER in Heaven.

And for a prayer like this to be said for anyone with the love of our FATHER and in th love of Jesus Christ is surely to send a blessing that shows the goodness, the strength, the love, the Holiness, the Graciousness, the LIGHT of our FATHER in Heaven.  

This blessing encompasses the love that our FATHER has for us.  It radiates the peace HE is able to give us.  It bestows the full mercy and grace of our FATHER and Jesus and the Holy Spirit upon the recipient. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, Bless us all.  Keep us all.  Make YOUR face shine on us all.  Be gracious to us all.  Keep YOUR face toward us all.  Give us all YOUR peace.

We thank YOU that YOU love us so.  Thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Delivered from darkness!

 Dear Christ followers, we have been delivered from darkness by the shedding of the blood of our SAVIOUR, Jesus Christ.  

Now it is up to us, each and every one, to walk in the light.  We are not to be conformed to things of this world.  We are to be "set apart".  No longer can we be the people that we were before.

Now that we belong to Jesus, we are responsible to be the light in this ever darkening world.

We also need to know the nature and character of our SAVIOUR.  So that we can testify to HIS goodness, HIS mercies and HIS love.

Today, let us resolve to move away from this world and to look towards Heaven, from whence cometh our hope and our salvation.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, that YOU have brought me out of the darkness and into the LIGHT of Jesus Christ.  I thank YOU ABBA FATHER.  Amen.

Stay graciously Jesus Blessed today!

Psalm 23

 Dear Christ followers, whenever I find that I have been under pressure with all the things of this world, this Psalm pops up.

And I know it is often quoted after someone dies, but it really a good Psalm for the living as well.

It gives me strength and it comforts me enormously. Read it carefully and then see the peace of the LORD come over you as your read the love of our FATHER for us. 

I can imagine Jesus walking with me and talking with me when I read this Psalm.  It calms my heart, my soul and it gives me a peace that transcends all understanding.

With Jesus in our lives we need fear no evil. Jesus will comfort us. HE prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies.  Jesus annoints our heads with oil.  Our cups runneth over. 

How very blessed we are to know this magnificent all encompassing love of our SAVIOUR.  How very blessed are we that if we love the LORD truly, goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the House of the LORD forever.

What a truly magnificent GOD we serve. Surely we can never love the way our FATHER loves each one of us!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly and gratefully thank YOU today that I may dwell in YOUR HOUSE forever.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Fruit of the Spirit!

 How beautifully Paul writes about the fruits of the Spirit.

The question is, how many of these can we, Christ followers, actually lay claim to having?

Personally I fail dismally on a lot of these.  However, as our faith grows, the Holy Spirit will convict us each and every time we do not display one of these characteristics.

We need to really work on receiving more of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and getting rid of more our ourselves.  The dying to self must become a growth part of our characteristics.

The way we will grow our faith is by learning to know the character of GOD more and more each day.

So let us press on and pray, not daily, but hourly.  Let us pray about every aspect of our lives.  Let us pray about every plan of our lives.  Let us pray to GOD to thank HIM for everything ever day.  Let us pray much more.  Let us read our Bibles a lot more, not just once a day but let us go the Scriptures to see what the Word of GOD says about every decision.  

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I pray that YOU help me to grow in my faith.  Overwhelm me with YOUR Holy Spirit I pray.  Pour it out on me and fill me up with YOUR Holy Spirit.  This I humbly pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay fruitfully Jesus Blessed today!

Do not be discouraged!

 Sometimes the Old Testament is very encouraging to us.  It still applies today.  Jesus did not come to abolish the Law.  Jesus came to fulfil the law.

In Jesus the commandments of GOD are made perfect.

Joshua was told by the LORD to be strong and courageous.  Not to be afraid.  In our world today it is so often easy to be scared and weak.

But then if we remember that what Joshua was facing was far worse than anything we are facing.  Joshua had been to spy out the promised land.  It was filled with giant people and was completely unknown to him.

And yet Joshua was commanded by the LORD to go in and to conquer the people and not to be scared but to be strong and courageous because the LORD would be with him.

Jesus has promised us that HE will never leave us nor forsake us.  All we have to do is to have faith in Jesus and HIS promises.

We are not alone in our troubles.  Jesus is always with us.  When we feel weak and afraid, all we need to do is to call out to Jesus and Jesus is with us.  How blessed we truly are!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU never leave me nor forsake me.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  My LORD, my SAVIOUR, my REDEEMER.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

I look to the LORD!

 In this ever darkening world, we need to walk in the LIGHT of our LORD.  We need to look to our FATHER in Heaven, because our redemption draws near.

As we watch events unfold in the Middle East and the atrocities that occured on th 7th October and the resultant false narrative, we need to know that people are dark and deluded.  They simply do not believe the facts and they distort the facts to suit what they wish to believe.

This is a definitive sign that the devil is roaming around and looking for souls. 

What we need to do is to look upwards and to pray to GOD to send HIS Son quickly to fetch HIS bride. 

Maranatha!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER I look to YOU today and I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ that you will guide us to walk in YOUR LIGHT and to keep our faith in these times.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly Jesus Blessed today!

GOD has prepared a place for us in Heaven!

 Paul writes to the Church in Corinth that no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has conceived the things that GOD has prepared for those who love HIM.

I know one thing, I was lost, but now am found.  I thought I knew GOD, but I was deceived.

When you truly find GOD, everything in your life changes.  Especially your own view of your own sinful life.

All of a sudden your life is held up as mirror for you to examine.  And each examination makes me fall down and beg for mercy.  

However, we have a Saviour who came to this earth and washed us clean.  Now we can stand before our FATHER, justified, but only through Jesus and the cleansing blood that HE shed for us on that Cross.

And now I know that I do not just love our FATHER in Heaven.  I adore HIM.  HE is my all in all.  Without HIS divine plan, we would never see the things GOD has prepared for us.  I am super excited to see it for myself one day when I go to be with HIM forever.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I worship and adore YOU.  YOU are my all in all. I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  My LORD and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Let the peace of GOD rule in our hearts

 Dear Christ followers, when we die to self and are born again in Christ, we are a new creation.  We have to follow through with our new creation, though and not go back to our old ways.

This means putting on the full armour of GOD, because we will surely be under attack for our new found faith.

We are going to be tried and tested.  

In the light of this, when we are attacked by the evil one, we need to pray fervently to GOD and to ask GOD to give us HIS peace to rule in our hearts.  But we need to do this with grateful hearts and thanksgiving to our FATHER for all that HE has done for us.

So today, let us ask GOD for HIS peace with grateful thanks!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU that I have peace in my heart.  I thank YOU that YOU saved me from my sinful past.  I thank YOU that in my faith in YOU, ABBA FATHER, I have life eternal with YOU.  I humbly and gratefully thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

GREAT is our GOD!

 Dear Christ followers, sometimes when we pray earnestly about things, the LORD works in ways that we cannot even imagine. 

Our FATHER is good and kind and gracious.  Slow to anger and quick to forgive us of our sins.

What we need to do in response is to be more like Jesus.  Jesus was gracious enough to die on a Cross for us.  Jesus was gracious enough to add humanity to HIS deity and come to earth to live as a man.  To be entirely sinless. And then to die for all of our sins so that we can have eternity with our FATHER in Heaven.

I thank Jesus for all that HE has done for me. Without Jesus, my LORD and SAVIOUR there is no way that I could enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  There is no way that I could have the peace that I receive when I ask for it.

It is only through Jesus that I am able to look forward to eternity in Heaven with my FATHER.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for saving me in far more ways than I could have or would have imagined.  YOU are so HOLY, so GOOD and so KIND.  I am so grateful to YOU, ABBA FATHER.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

One day in the house of the LORD!

 Dear Christ followers, with all that is going on in the world, today I can relate to the writer of this Psalm.

Certainly one day in the court of our Heavenly FATHER is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I too, would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my FATHER than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Our FATHER is Good, Gracious, Holy, Righteous, Merciful and truly Loving.  

Whilst the events that are unfolding around the world are, to say the least, extremely perplexing.

Evil people are being allowed to walk the streets and yell obscenities and call for the murder of others, whilst Christians praying silently are being arrested for their silent prayers.

As long as your "brand of protest" looks vicious and screams obscenities louder, you are all right, but if you are a docile Christ follower, beware!

Jesus did warn of us this and told us to "not let our hearts be troubled" for these things must take place.

So today, let us turn to the Scriptures and find comfort and strength in the words of our FATHER, our SAVIOUR and the Holy Spirit.  Let us read the Scriptures, calm our hearts and wait on the LORD.  For the day is coming when HE will come to fetch us home, to be where HE is. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that today YOU gave me Psalm 84 to read and to savour.  I thank YOU so much for YOUR love and for Jesus Christ and for the Holy Spirit.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Show me YOUR ways LORD!

 Sometimes we need to ask GOD to show us HIS ways because ours are so much  more difficult.

GOD has a perfect plan, and although we plan and plan, without being in line with GOD's plan, we are losing an  uphill battle.

Today, let  us resolve to turn to GOD in everything, about everything and then let us wait to hear from GOD before we move.

To do it the other way around is self defeating. 

Only GOD can truly lead us.  We need to follow GOD and not try to lead our lives and then to GOD when things go horribly wrong.

Let us take it all to GOD in prayer. 

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to GOD in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we  do not carry 

Everything to GOD in prayer!

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, today I bring all my plans to YOU O FATHER. Help me and show me the way to go that aligns with YOUR Will. This I humbly pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Stay prayerfully Jesus Blessed today!

Servants of Jesus Christ!

 As servants of Jesus Christ, we have been given the greatest freedom in the world.  We have been justified through the redemptive Blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.  We serve Jesus and we are in a condition as "just as if we had never sinned".

To be a servant of Jesus is the greatest privilege of all.  It is greater than any honour that anyone could ever bestow on us.  

It trumps awards on this earth, it trumps any worldly success achieved.

To be a child of Jesus is forever.  If we grow our faith, serve the LORD with all our hearts, our minds, our souls, we look forward to an eternity to spend in Heaven with our FATHER.

This is surely the greatest goal we should all be aiming at!

Today, let us resolve to be filled anew with the Holy Spirit, to ask GOD to forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.  Let us ask GOD to give us good works to do.  Let us resolve to spend more time growing our relationship with our FATHER and to pray a whole lot more.  It is a long term goal the most worthy of achieving.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am YOUR child.  I am so humbled to be a part of YOUR eternal family.  I thank YOU from the bottom of my heart in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay gratefully Jesus Blessed today!

Children of GOD

Dear Christ followers, today I want to thank GOD for all that HE has done for me. I am so privileged to be able to call myself a child of GOD. I truly am the daughter of a KING.

But not any KING, a KING who saved me from destruction and life in hell. A KING who devised a plan to save all the people on earth from a life spent in hell. Hell was created for satan and the angels who followed satan.

Hell was never meant for humankind. Sin entered the world through Adam and Eve and from then on, it was almost impossible to be sinless. Some people found favour with GOD because they were righteous. But these are few and far between. Enoch was righteous and never died. He just walked the earth no more. (GOD took him to Heaven). Abraham obeyed GOD and it was credited to him as righteousness.

Our KING's plan was to send HIS Son, HIS only Son to give us life eternal with HIM if we would but believe, repent and be saved.

That is all we have to do and when we do that, we are forgiven of our sins. We become co heirs with Jesus and we become children of GOD and as a woman, I am now the daughter of THE KING. Of course, we need to grow our faith and to take care of our inheritance. But what an undeserved, unmerited free gift we have been given.

What an honour! What a privilege! How eternally grateful I am to my ABBA FATHER in Heaven who saved me with the blood of HIS own SON, Jesus Christ. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I worship YOU and I adore YOU.  YOU are my ALL in ALL and I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of my LORD and my REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay gratefully Jesus Blessed today!

We are saved not by works!

 Jesus saved us according to HIS mercy.  We cannot work our way into redemption.

Without the blood of Jesus  spilt on the Cross of Calvary, we would never achieve salvation.

When Jesus went onto that Cross, HE took all our sins and washed them white with HIS blood.

He  did this out of mercy for us, because HE loves you and HE loves me.  In Jesus, we have the Holy Spirit who renews us.

Today let us give grateful thanks to our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, without whom we would never attain the Kingdom of GOD.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU that YOU washed my sins away.  I am so grateful to YOU.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay gratefully Jesus Blessed today!

The living word of GOD

 Our Good and Gracious FATHER has given us HIS Words in a Bible for us to use as our "manual" for how to live our lives.

The best authority on the Bible is the Bible.  If you want to fact check the Bible, read the Bible.

If you want to know the Will of our FATHER for your life, read the Bible. 

If you want to understand GOD and to know the character of GOD, read the Bible.

And here in the verse above, Paul writes in Hebrews that the Word of GOD is living and active.  It is sharper than any double-edged sword and it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow.  When we read the Bible, it judges our thoughts and the attitudes of our heart.

Let us endeavour to read our Bibles daily, even twice daily and to use the Word of GOD to discern the Truth. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, thank YOU that we have the Bible to read.  FATHER let us pray for wisdom before we read YOUR Word and grant us that so that we understand YOUR Word and that we may know YOUR Will.  We pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Test the Spirits!

 Dear Christ followers, Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life.  Every spirit that confesses that Jesus has come in the flesh is of GOD.

Every spirit that does not confess this is not of GOD.

We need to test the spirits.  We need to be on our guard because the devil roams around like a roaring lion looking for souls to steal. Particularly during this trying and ever darkening times.

So let us stand fast in our faith and through prayer and reading the Word of GOD, let us remain devoted to Jesus.  Let us ask GOD each day to fill us anew with Holy Spirit who will guide us towards the Light and the Truth and the Way.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU that I believe in Jesus Christ as my LORD and my SAVIOUR.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Jesus has overcome the world!

 Jesus gives us an inner peace when we accept HIM as our LORD and SAVIOUR, that defies all understanding.  We need to ask for the peace when life is troubling to us.

In this world, we have trials and tribulations.  But Jesus overcame the world.  Jesus conquered death and rose from the grave and sits at the Right Hand of GOD our FATHER in Heaven.

Jesus has not left us alone, nor has HE ever abandoned us.  We are HIS children.  We are co- heirs with HIM of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Today, be comforted with the words above recorded and written by John, the Apostle of Jesus. A reliable witness and author of a Holy Spirit inspired Gospel of the Bible.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ that YOU have overcome the world.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. Amen.

Stay truly Jesus Blessed today!

Praying being watchful and thankful!

 In this letter to the Colossians, Paul urges his readers to devote themselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

This is how we ought to be in these ever darkening times. 

If the rapture happens today, let our FATHER find us about HIS business.  Being prayerful and also being thankful and watchful.

Prayer is good for us as well.  Prayer connects us to our FATHER in Heaven.  Prayer strengthens our faith.  Prayers help us think about others. Prayer settles our hearts.

Today, let us settle down and make time to pray to our FATHER in Heaven so that if HE comes for us today, HE finds us prayerful.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I humbly ask that YOU make me watchful and thankful.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!

The Letter of the Law!

 Jesus did not come to abolish the Mosaic Law.  Rather, Jesus is a fulfilment of the law.

We are subject to the ten commandments.  Should we break one of the Commandments, it is as if we broke them all.

Jesus, GOD and the Holy Spirit are Holy.  They cannot be in the presence of sin.

Therefore as Christ followers, we are to sin less.  Surely we will never be sinless until we die, as we are born in our sinful states.  But as Christ followers, we need to be convicted by the Holy Spirit to sin less.

Today, if we are sinning as if we are not saved, we need to ask the LORD to fill us anew with HIS Holy Spirit.  And then we need to turn from our sin and sin less.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that Jesus came to fulfil the Law.  I thank YOU that the Holy Spirit lives in me and convicts me when I sin to turn from my sin.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully, truthfully Jesus Blessed.  Amen.

Our Redeemer lives!

 Dear Christ followers, even going back to the Old Testament, Job gives us the comfort of having known that our Redeemer lives.

Our Redeemer is the "I AM".  Our Redeemer always WAS, always IS and always IS TO BE.

We are never alone, forsaken or forgotten.  All we have to do is to let HIM in to our hearts and HE comes to live in us.

We can do this through our faith in Jesus.

Today, if you have not let Jesus into your heart, believe, repent and be filled with the Holy Spirit of our Triune GOD!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I can have YOU with me all the time.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

GOD rewards those who diligently seek HIM

 Dear Christ followers, we are called upon to have faith in GOD.  In order to have faith and to grow our faith, we need to understand the nature and character of our FATHER.

Our FATHER is Just, Holy, Merciful, Loving and kind.

All the characteristics of our FATHER are evidenced in the world around us.  When we see a baby born perfectly, a kitten playing with a ball of wool, a little bird trusting that he will find food for his family daily, a lion majestically walking in the wild.  

All around us, if we look we will see the work of our FATHER.  Each day we have a sunrise and a sunset.  Every day the sun will shine, whether it is cloudy in our area or not.  Each night the stars are present in the Heavens.

The seasons come on time each year.

Our earth continues to spin on its axis and to orbit the sun.  Our moon continues on its orbit.  None of this is random.  It is our Gracious FATHER who designed the universe perfectly.

The way we seek GOD is to look in the Bible,  It is to look at our earth, it is to talk to fellow believers, and it is to fellowship with Christ followers.

We get to know GOD when we get to understand HIS Majesty. And GOD rewards us if we diligently seek HIM.  Not in a monetary sense, but in delighting our senses through the realization of the Magnificent CREATOR FATHER we serve.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU that I can get to know YOU a little more each and every day.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Jesus died for us all!

 Dear Christ followers, we are so very blessed because we cannot ever atone for our sins.

But we have believed in the Redemptive blood of Jesus shed on that Cross of Calvary for you and I.

We can believe, repent, and be saved.  It is that simple.

We do not have to travel long distances to sacrifice animals.  We do not have to try to "work" our way in Heaven, we can simply believe, repent and be saved.

Today, if you have not made the decision - believe!  We may not have tomorrow!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, that I believe.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!

Fix our eyes upon Jesus

 Dearest Christ follower, let us fix our eyes on Jesus.  Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith.

Jesus endured the Cross so that we may have faith that our Redeemer, lives.  Not only that our Redeemer lives, but that our Redeemer took our sins onto that Cross and through our faith in Him, we are cleansed from our sins, when we repent of them.

Jesus sits at the Right Hand of GOD our FATHER and HE rules and reigns with HIM.  Jesus is our judge.

Jesus has justified us through HIS actions on earth, on the Cross and in HIS resurrection.

Today, let us keep our eyes on Jesus and grow in our faith as we see HIS Hand in everything on earth, in the Heavens and around us.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I have my eyes fixed firmly on YOU.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus blessed today!
