Jesus said to [Thomas], "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."-----John 14:6
Many religions believe that there are diverse ways for one to get into Heaven. Some believe that it is possible for you to get there by putting your faith and trust in someone or something that is NOT a part of The Holy, Righteous God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the CREATOR of this Universe. The One who has provided the ONLY WAY for sinful man to be able to come into His presence and that WAY is through the atoning blood of His ONLY Begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST.
In this verse of Scripture, Jesus is telling one of His disciples, Thomas, that the ONLY way to the Father is through Him, because He IS the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE and that NO ONE can come to the Father except through HIM.
In other words, you cannot work, talk, bribe, impress, or pay your way into the presence of ALMIGHTY GOD. There is ONLY ONE way and that is coming by way of the CROSS.
The ONLY way to come to the Father, by way of the CROSS, is to CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE, today, making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!

Be Transformed Not Conformed!
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.-----Romans 12:2
The Apostle Paul is urging us to NOT follow or copy the behavior and ways of this world, but to let God, by the work of His Holy Spirit, TRANSFORM (make) us into a NEW person by the RENEWING or CHANGING of our minds. In other words, CHANGING the way we think and live.
Allowing the Holy Spirit's influence in our HEARTS and MINDS, instead of the influence of this SINFUL and CORRUPT world, will give us the knowledge and discernment of what is the GOOD, PLEASING, and PERFECT will of God for our lives.
But before you can be a NEW person with a NEW mind and heart, you must FIRST follow these SIMPLE steps: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE today, making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!!

Loving Others! Is It Possible?
You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.-----1Peter 1:22-23
When we FIRST came to the Lord, by the wooing of the Holy Spirit, with obedient hearts and our souls seeking to be cleansed from the stains of sin, He took us in and cleansed us from ALL our sins.
And because of our obedience to Him, we are a part of His family, which means we MUST conduct ourselves as such. One of His instructions to us is that we MUST show SINCERE love to each other as brothers and sisters, not that we will ALWAYS agree with each other, but even through those disagreements we MAINTAIN a SINCERE love, a DEEP, ABIDING love, with ALL our heart, for each other.
Now you may be thinking, is that even POSSIBLE? Well the answer is a most resounding "YES" as long as you ALLOW the Holy Spirit of the Living God to do the loving through you. Because we are in the flesh, we are weak, and cannot LOVE like we should, but through the work of God's Spirit we are ABLE to do WHATEVER the Father requires of us.
And my dear brothers and sisters the result of an OBEDIENT heart, when we are BORN AGAIN is An ABUNDANT, SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE that will last for ALL ETERNITY because it comes from the ETERNAL LIVING WORD of our ETERNAL LIVING GOD.
If the Holy Spirit has been wooing your soul you need to do this: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU and is in HEAVEN making intercession for YOU, before God, then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!!

Alive With Christ!
You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.-----Colossians 2:13-14
The very first sentence describes us , "while we were yet sinners." We were dead in our sins until God performed some spiritual surgery on us, when we came to Him, seeking RELEASE from the bondage of those sins. And through that spiritual surgery, He has made us ALIVE with Christ, by His FORGIVENESS of ALL our sins.
The last sentence in verse 14, THRILLS my heart! He has CANCELED the record of charges against us, and it was nailed to the cross with our precious Lord Jesus, NEVER to be held against us again.
Have YOU been made ALIVE WITH CHRIST, through the FORGIVENESS of YOUR sins? You can be ALIVE with Christ by doing these simple, but LIFE-CHANGING steps: CONFESS your sins to God, ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE, today, in HEAVEN making intercession for you, before God and then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION.

Who Controls Your Mind?
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws and it never will. That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.-----Romans 8:6-8
I believe this is why the world is in the shape that it is in today. Because MANY are being CONTROLLED by their SINFUL nature, through their mind-set and the desires of their desperately, wicked hearts.
From the fall of mankind till today, the sinful nature has ALWAYS been HOSTILE to God and has NEVER obeyed His laws and NEVER will. And that being the case, those CONTROLLED by their sinful nature can NEVER please God.
Those that are CONTROLLED by the HOLY SPIRIT of the Living God, through their mind-set and their contrite HEART will be led to LIFE and PEACE (the ABUNDANT life and PEACE that passes ALL understanding.)
So my question to you is, what or who is CONTROLLING your mind and heart? Are you being led by your sinful nature to a spiritual death filled with heartache, suffering, despair and NO HOPE? Or are you a Child of the Living God, being CONTROLLED by His Spirit and led to that ABUNDANT life and peace that passes ALL understanding?
You can ONLY be CONTROLLED by His Spirit by doing the following things: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, and then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!!

The Invitation
My heart has heard you say, "Come talk with Me." And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming."-----Psalm 27:8
What an ENORMOUS blessing it is whenever God speaks to our hearts, in that still, small, but loving voice, giving us guidance, direction, instruction, encouragement, and peace.
When He lovingly speaks to our heart, in the very EARLY hour of the day or in the stillness of the evening hour, inviting us to "COME and TALK with the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS. To know that He wants to have a SPECIAL, INTIMATE, ALONE TIME with ME, is PRICELESS. Just to be in His presence is MORE than we could hope for, but to ACTUALLY be able to TALK with our Lord and have Him talk with us, by His invitation, is to AWESOME to put into words.
The Psalmist says: "My heart responds, 'Lord, I am coming.' " When the Lord calls you, how does your heart respond? "Not now I'm too busy," or maybe you just ignore the invitation. There are those who will ACCEPT the invitation with JOY and EXALTATION. Which group are you in?
If you have never received this invitation, but would very much like to, you can by doing a few simple but LIFE-CHANGING steps: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE today, in HEAVEN, making intercession for you before God and then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION.

The Perfect Way
God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection.-----Psalm 18:30
In these days, many are searching for the RIGHT way or the SAFE way, a way that will assure them of SECURITY in their lives, a way that will bring them HOPE, PEACE, and ASSURANCE, in other words they are searching for the PERFECT WAY.
The Psalmist tells us that GOD'S way is PERFECT. So if we turn our hearts and lives over to God, and FOLLOW His ways, we can cease our searching for the PERFECT WAY.
"All the Lord's promises prove true." Which should give one the PERFECT WAY that will provide the HOPE that they are longing for. "He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection." This part of God's PERFECT WAY should bring the PEACE and ASSURANCE that they have been searching for.
So my dear friends, to achieve that PERFECT WAY, you must FIRST do these things: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION.

His Precious Thoughts
How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God, they cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, You are still with me!-----Psalm 139:17-18
What an AWESOME passage of scripture! A GREAT reminder of the ASSURANCE, we can possess, in our Father God. The very thought that the CREATOR of EVERYTHING that was created, thinks about you and me!
And NOT just a random thought, every now and then, or one when we sin or fail in our walk with Him, but His thoughts about US, INDIVIDUALLY, cannot be numbered because "they outnumber the grains of sand!" In other words we are CONTINUALLY on His mind!
I don't really understand how that works, other than to say that He is a SUPERNATURAL GOD and He is ABLE to do WHATEVER He wishes to do! All I need to do is BELIEVE IT and TRUST IN HIM!
I REALLY like the last part of the scripture: "When I wake up, You are STILL with me!" WOW! just think the ALMIGHTY GOD is ALWAYS with US! The Psalmist says, "You are STILL with me!" Just to KNOW that we are NEVER out of His sight, is beyond our understanding. He is ALWAYS with US and will NEVER leave nor forsake us! HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! And GREATLY to be PRAISED!
If you have never given your heart and life to Jesus, you can do it NOW, by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE today, in Heaven, making intercession for you before God, and then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION.

The Master Guide and Teacher
Guide me by Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.-----Psalms 25:5
To be guided and taught by the Almighty God, Himself is such an AWESOME blessing and experience. I mean who better to guide and teach us IMPORTANT, and VALUABLE lessons as we follow His guidance down the path that He has prepared for us to take in this life.
In order to FOLLOW Him and to LEARN from Him, we MUST first TRUST Him. I mean after all, He IS the God of our SALVATION, and our HOPE should be grounded in Him. Then we can, with CONFIDENCE, FOLLOW AND LEARN from Him, the one who has PREPARED our pathway of life.
If you are struggling along your life's pathway and don't know which way to go or what you should do, you can STOP struggling and be guided by the Almighty God, by doing this: CONFESS your sins to God and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE today, making intercession for YOU before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION.

The Important Things
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in You-----Psalm 39:6-7
The Psalmist here describes our lives as being "merely moving shadows." James 4:14 says: "Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away." I believe that what the Psalmist and James is trying to tell us is that our EARTHLY lives are created just to last for a SHORT time. "here today and gone tomorrow," as the old saying goes. A lot of people LIVE exclusively for the HERE and NOW, not once giving thought to the HEREAFTER.
They are to busy heaping up their wealth. Some say that they are doing it for their families, so they can provide an inheritance for their children, now while that seems admirable, I have to ask: "What about their ETERNITY? What are you doing to assure them of an ETERNITY in Heaven with God the Father and His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ? Are you heaping up SPIRITUAL wealth for them?
The Psalmist tells us that we heap up wealth NOT knowing who will spend it. When we are gone we are no longer in control of this so called wealth. It too is susceptible to destruction, thieves, devaluation, the elements of nature and so many other things.
The thing that is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE for us and our loved ones is to have our priorities set on those things that will make a DIFFERENCE in our ETERNITY. While providing for their future, on earth, is sensible and admirable. It all boils down to this: Where do you put your HOPE? in the TEMPORAL or MATERIAL things? Or is your ONLY HOPE in the ONLY ONE who can make a difference in YOUR and YOUR FAMILY'S ETERNITY?
If you have NO hope, you can, by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is in HEAVEN making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION! Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!

"Sold Out!"
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.
Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.-----Galatians 5:24-25
I believe that this would be what we call being "SOLD-OUT" to Jesus Christ, when a person has TRULY ACCEPTED the fact that Jesus died for them, with ALL their HEART and NOT just in their minds, then they REPENT of their sins and nail them to the old rugged cross, to be crucified with Christ and to be covered by His precious blood.
Then we become a NEW creature and ALL our old ways have passed away and we become BRAND NEW, just like a new born babe. The Holy Spirit of the Living God indwells us and we begin our NEW life by allowing the Spirit to guide us down the path that our Heavenly Father has planned for us to take. Thus we MUST follow the leadership of the Spirit in EVERY PART of our lives, NOT just the parts that we want to allow Him to lead us, but in EVERY PART. He must have COMPLETE CONTROL! When we open EVERY PART to His leadership then we are living a "SPIRIT-FILLED" life, because He is in EVERY PART of our lives.
If you haven't nailed the passions and desires of your sinful nature to the old rugged cross, you can do it NOW by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING with ALL your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and FOLLOW the SPIRIT'S leading in EVERY PART of YOUR life.

Saved by Grace!
God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this, it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.-----Ephesians 2:8-9
SALVATION is a GOD-THING, part of HIS plan for the masterpiece of His creation, mankind, and as very plainly stated in these two verses of Scripture, it is not by the good things WE have done, but by the GRACE of our LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, CREATOR!
SALVATION is NOT a REWARD for the good works we have done. If that was the case, then the agony and suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross would have been in vain, and SALVATION would be a SALVATION of the works of mankind, which we know was NOT a part of God's plan.
Because our righteousness is like stinky, filthy, putrid rags before the HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD, SALVATION BY WORKS would not have been sufficient enough to provide mankind with an eternity in Heaven, with God the Father, and God the Son. We would fall SHORT and be doomed, and furthermore, we surely couldn't BOAST about what we have done.
I am SO thankful for the GRACE of a merciful, loving God who is ABLE to offer us HIS gift of SALVATION according to HIS plan!
If you are trying to WORK your way into God's Family, STOP! You can ONLY obtain HIS gift by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE in Heaven making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!

Let Me Tell You!
All of you who fear God, come and listen and I will tell what He has done for me.-----Psalm 66:16
Football season is upon us, which in Alabama, means either a sea of blue and orange or crimson and white shirts, caps, socks, shoes, jewelry, and who knows what else, abounds.
Everywhere you go people are giving each other high-fives and shouting "War Eagle!" or "Roll Tide, Roll!" Now please don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with showing a little school-spirit, or being proud of their accomplishments.
I have NEVER understood people going to concerts where HEAD-BANGING music is performed and they act as if they are having some kind of convulsive fit, or they are sobbing, yelling, waving their arms above their technicolor heads.
However, when it comes to SHOUTING to the Lord and letting the WORLD know what our GREAT, AMAZING, AWE-INSPIRING, and ABLE to do MORE than we could EVER imagine, CREATOR GOD has done for US, we seem to SHY away.
Now, let me just speak from my heart, and should this offend ANYONE, I apologize. If you PRAISE God in a more subdued way, like not raising your hand(s) or clapping etc. that is TOTALLY between YOU and the LORD. It is my feeling that a person SHOULD be LED by the Holy Spirit of the Living God in their mannerisms of worship. The same thing goes for those who shout, clap raise their hands, or whatever they may be LED by the Holy Spirit to do, as long as it is done in the attitude of PRAISE and WORSHIP to the ALMIGHTY GOD, the ONLY One worthy of our PRAISE and WORSHIP, and that it is NOT done for self-gratification or JUST to make YOU feel good, because it is ALL for HIM. But in so doing, it may BLESS you so much that is makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Now that I have totally chased that rabbit, let me say one more thing. It you are a TRUE child of the Living God, you should be BUSTING at the seams to tell ANYBODY and EVERYBODY what He has done for YOU! PRAISE Him in the place that He has planted you!
If you can't tell ANYONE what He has done for you, then you need to change your situation by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE and in HEAVEN making intercession before God for you, then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION, and THEN you can TELL what He has done for YOU. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!
Football season is upon us, which in Alabama, means either a sea of blue and orange or crimson and white shirts, caps, socks, shoes, jewelry, and who knows what else, abounds.
Everywhere you go people are giving each other high-fives and shouting "War Eagle!" or "Roll Tide, Roll!" Now please don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with showing a little school-spirit, or being proud of their accomplishments.
I have NEVER understood people going to concerts where HEAD-BANGING music is performed and they act as if they are having some kind of convulsive fit, or they are sobbing, yelling, waving their arms above their technicolor heads.
However, when it comes to SHOUTING to the Lord and letting the WORLD know what our GREAT, AMAZING, AWE-INSPIRING, and ABLE to do MORE than we could EVER imagine, CREATOR GOD has done for US, we seem to SHY away.
Now, let me just speak from my heart, and should this offend ANYONE, I apologize. If you PRAISE God in a more subdued way, like not raising your hand(s) or clapping etc. that is TOTALLY between YOU and the LORD. It is my feeling that a person SHOULD be LED by the Holy Spirit of the Living God in their mannerisms of worship. The same thing goes for those who shout, clap raise their hands, or whatever they may be LED by the Holy Spirit to do, as long as it is done in the attitude of PRAISE and WORSHIP to the ALMIGHTY GOD, the ONLY One worthy of our PRAISE and WORSHIP, and that it is NOT done for self-gratification or JUST to make YOU feel good, because it is ALL for HIM. But in so doing, it may BLESS you so much that is makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

The Witness of the Holy Spirit!
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.-----Romans 8:16
Many Christians at some point in time will ask the question: "How can I know for sure that I"m truly a child of God?"
This passage of Scripture pretty well gives us the answer. It tells us that the SPIRIT Himself, the one who convicted us and drew us to God, bears witness with our spirit, and a CONFIRMATION takes place, not any ordinary CONFIRMATION, but a DIVINE CONFIRMATION, that comes directly from the ONE who prearranged our ADOPTION into God's Holy Family and SEALED it with the ATONING BLOOD of His ONLY Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a DONE DEAL, once you have been CONVICTED of your sins and DRAWN to God by His Precious Holy Spirit, and CONFESSED your sins to Him, asking for His FORGIVENESS, and with ALL sincerity you have made the decision in your HEART to ACCEPT His offer of being adopted into His Family, you CAN have a STRONG ASSURANCE that you belong to Him for ALL ETERNITY!
What an AWESOME promise: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness."-----1 John 1:9
"I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ETERNAL LIFE." -----1 John 5:13
Please DON"T reject the wooing of the Holy Spirit. Come to Him NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!

Wait for the Lord!
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.-----Psalm 27:14
"WAIT," the psalmist says. This day and time that word is hardly ever carried out.
We live in a "DO IT NOW" time when whatever we are facing or doing, our mind-set is to DO IT NOW! Don't WAIT for anything or anybody. Many times when we follow that mind-set we are headed for heartache and disaster.
However, when we WAIT for the Lord, we can rest assured that He is in complete CONTROL and we can TRUST Him to carry us through whatever we are facing, if we would be STRONG and COURAGEOUS through the waiting period.
So TRUST Him and WAIT for the Lord!
If you have never given your heart to the Lord, you can do it NOW by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE in HEAVEN making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's WAITING!!

Confident Hope
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called---His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe Him.-----Ephesians 1:18-19
These are the words penned by the Apostle Paul to the believers in Ephesus. Words that Father God desired for the believers TODAY to hear and take to heart.
We that are believers NEED to understand the CONFIDENT HOPE that God has given to us. The understanding of the CONFIDENCE of our SALVATION through His blessed Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. To KNOW our future is sealed in Him. To TRUST in His PROMISES.
And not only to understand the CONFIDENT HOPE, but to understand the INCREDIBLE GREATNESS of GOD'S POWER. The POWER to change a wretched, sinful person into a clean, righteous, holy person, to be able to give sight to not only the physically blind, but also to the spiritually blind, not to just bring life into a dead body, but to bring life into the heart and soul of fallen mankind, who is dead in their sins, and to bring this universe into existence. WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!!
If you have NO confident HOPE for where you will spend your eternity, you can by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE in HEAVEN making intercession for YOU and to ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION (confident hope). Do it NOW, while you STILL can. He's waiting!!

Every Morning
Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning, I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer.-----Psalm 5:3
The Psalmist says, EVERY morning you hear my voice. Does the Lord hear YOUR voice EVERY morning?
I remember when I started having a regular quiet time with the Lord. I had a problem getting up early enough to have a substantial time with the Lord. I had the frame of mind that as long as you prayed at ANY time of the day you were doing what you should do. How very WRONG that frame of mind turned out to be.
You see our Lord DESIRES our TOTAL attention. Giving Him five minutes of our day, when we can SQUEEZE Him in, is not exactly what He expects from us. Saying a short, get-me-by prayer is not His desire either.
God desires QUALITY time with each of His children. Not "if I have time," or "when I have time."
It is His desire to hear our voice EVERY morning!
You might be using the excuse that you don't have time for that. Well if you worked at getting your priorities in order, with Quiet Time with the Lord being FIRST, you would have a BETTER, MORE ORGANIZED beginning to your day.
Try doing some of the things you do in the morning, the night before. The BEST thing you can do to have a REGULAR, INTIMATE, QUIET TIME, with the Lord is to ask Him to help you get STARTED by helping you to WAKE-UP EARLY ENOUGH. Trust me, I KNOW He will do it. And SET YOUR ALARM CLOCK!
Your Quiet Time should NOT just be Him listening to you, but BE STILL and WAIT to listen to Him as He speaks to your heart. He LOVES YOU and DESIRES A CLOSE relationship with YOU! What a DIFFERENCE it will make in your day.
If you have never given your life to God, you cannot have a CLOSE relationship with Him until you: CONFESS your sins to Him and ask for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE in your HEART that Jesus died for YOU and is ALIVE, in HEAVEN making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION! Do it NOW, while you STILL can! He's waiting!!!

Protected by the Almighty!
Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "You are my place of safety and protection. You are my God and I trust you."-----Psalm 91:1-2
There are some words and phrases of ASSURANCE in this passage of Scripture. Assurances that we can take to heart because the Lord God Almighty PROMISES us that He will be our SHIELD OF PROTECTION and our SHELTER when strong winds blow. We can run to Him and find SAFETY and PROTECTION because He is our STRONG and MIGHTY TOWER.
That in itself is reason enough to merit our TRUST. But we can also, without reservation, put our FAITH and TRUST in Him because of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE HAS DONE.
He is our CREATOR GOD and He has SACRIFICED HIMSELF to REDEEM us and to PROVIDE for us an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with HIM. So since He has done all of that for us He DEFINITELY deserves our FAITH AND TRUST in Him.
If you cannot run to Him for safety and protection, because you are not one of His, you can change that situation by : CONFESSING your sins to God and asking Him to FORGIVE you for your sins, BELIEVING that Jesus died for you and is ALIVE in HEAVEN making intercession for you before God, then ACCEPT God's gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you still can. He's waiting!!

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord show you kindness and have mercy on you. May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.-----Numbers 6:24-26

No GREATER wishes could be bestowed on another than to have Almighty God's BLESSINGS and to have Him PERSONALLY KEEP you or to experience His KINDNESS and have His MERCY upon you, and to KNOW that He is WATCHING over you and to be able to bask in His PEACE, that PEACE that this old sinful world cannot give you.

True Everlasting Love
And from far away the Lord appeared to His people and said, "I love you people with a love that will last forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness."-----Jeremiah 31:3
You know we live in a world where the word "love" is tossed around without any true feelings attached.
To some LOVE is just a passing fancy, it is sometimes used as a bargaining chip, you know, "If you really LOVE me, you will do this or that/"
When God created man He created him with the ability to LOVE and not to abuse that ability by using it as a means to get what one desires and in the process, deeply hurting someone that is the object of that FAKE LOVE. But to use it how God intended it to be used, with a TRUE, SINCERE, and FAITHFUL HEART. A love that will last, "till death do us part."
In this verse we see an EXCELLENT example of the type of LOVE we should have for one another, God says: "I love you people with a love that will last forever." What a difference that attitude would make in the world today, if we would just FOLLOW God's example.
If you are a Child of the Living God you are experiencing that TRUE, EVERLASTING LOVE. If you are not a Child of the Living God, then you are not experiencing it, but you could be experiencing it by: CONFESSING your sins to God, and asking for His forgiveness, telling Him you are sorry for your sins, BELIEVING that Jesus died for you and is ALIVE in Heaven making intercession for you before God, and by ACCEPTING His gift of SALVATION. Do it NOW, while you still can! He's waiting!!
