There is One Door

Some people try to to tell us that there are many ways to heaven, many ways to God. This is simply not true. How do we know?
Well, Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

If you are truly, sincerely seeking God from your whole heart, He will reveal Himself to you. I've seen it over and over again. The Bible also says that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. He will reward you with the truth of who He is. (Heb. 11:6) That is for starters.

Then as you begin to dig into His word, you will find a multitude of promises that He gave to you. By faith, you appropriate the things that He has for you. He has such amazing good plans for your life. For every life, if only people would look to Him. His will is that none should perish. None. His heart is for you beloved.

You are powered up

Sometimes the road ahead looks pretty daunting. The weather can be treacherous at times. Sometimes there are family problems we're not sure how to handle. If we're not careful.. our emotions are up and down like a well pump handle.  Let's face it, we live in a fallen world.

We'd really like it if things in this world were perfect, but it's not to be on this planet. So, we just need to deal with things the way that they are, knowing that we have an edge, an advantage that so many people do not have. Being born again, we have the Lord's Spirit living on the inside of us. We have an overcoming spirit!

Eph. 6:10 says, " Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." If you read on in the chapter, we have the full armor of God. He hasn't left us defenseless. And He said He would never leave us nor forsake us. He's got us covered. So no matter what you may be facing today...know that you have everything you need to overcome and be victorious. His grace is sufficient for you.

Blessings!

Joseph Prince - How Believers Fall From Grace - 17 April 2011

So many times, I've heard a preacher, or a news anchor say, "Yes, he's fallen from grace", talking about someone who had yielded to some sinful behavior. Joseph explains that that is not what is meant by "falling from grace," not in the biblical sense, at all. Watch and see the true meaning of this Bible phrase.

What will you do with Jesus?

The people were plotting as to how to put Jesus to death. Judas had returned the blood money...30 pieces of silver, to the chief priests and elders. With it they purchased the potter's field, which would be known even to the present day, as the "Field of Blood."

Jesus stood before the governor, Pilate, while the people hurled accusations against Him. Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "It is as you say."

It was the time of the feast, and the governor was allowed to release one prisoner. He asked the people, who will it be? Jesus or Barabbas? His wife gave him warning not to harm Jesus in any way. She had had a dream concerning him. The chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to cry out for Barabbas to be released.

The pivotal question of the hour was, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" It was a question asked of the people of that day and it is a question asked of each of us today.

What will you do with Jesus who is called the Christ? If you haven't responded to Him as yet, please receive Him as Lord of your life today. One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Be a Believer

Are you a doubting Thomas?

After Jesus was resurrected, he appeared to some of His disciples. Thomas, though, had not been there. The disciples told Thomas that they had seen the Lord and that He had risen from the dead. He informed them that "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." Thomas not only wanted to see in order to believe, but He wanted to FEEL as well.

How many of us are that way? It's "natural" to be this way. We are such "senses" people. We want to see and feel and touch. God made us to have senses and emotions. But, he doesn't want them to rule over us. Truth is more important than feelings or senses. Rely on truth to guide you...not what you feel or sense (or don't sense, for that matter.) Be a believer! Believe the truth of the Word.

Go ahead and take from Him!

The Ways of Grace by Joseph Prince

He invites us to take from Him and continues to reveal His grace to us in
many different ways. I'm so thankful for Him.

Restoration...I love the way God does things.

I watched this clip from CBN today [link below] and it got me thinking about the word Restoration.  God is in the business of restoration. He delights in it because He gets the glory and honor for transforming a life, but also because He loves His creation so much that He wants them to live an abundant life and not a life of addiction, depravity, and hopelessness.

No matter what you are facing or going through today, know that God loves you! He DOES have good plans for your life. He wants to bring restoration to you and your family. He loves the family and He loves healthy relationships. He sent Jesus for your restoration. [God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.]

If you look up the word Restoration, you'll see the word Renew. He wants to make you NEW! If you are already born-again, just submit yourself to Him, give Him all your junk, get in the Word, ask Him and He will restore your life. If you need to be born-again, it's a simple process...Just say, "Jesus, I need you. Come in and make me new. I can't do this on my own. Thank you Jesus for loving me and bringing me into your family."
