Many Mansions

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.  John 14:1-4 KJV". The Lord knew trouble would come after His departure from this world. For Peter trouble had already started.  Jesus had just predicted Peter's shameful denial, but the Lord reassured not only Peter but the others among them, that He was going away to prepare a place for them. He is preparing a place that has many mansions for the many believers in the Lord. Jesus said "I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also". Jesus will come back soon for you and I. It might seem crazy out there, but it isn't the time to get carried away by the craziness. Don't allow the thoughts that run through the mind or the way things are looking to bring defeat. "Let not your heart be troubled" Keep on believing in God the Father and His only begotten Son. He is preparing a place for you. Give Him Praise and God Bless You.

He may sift you

Life may surround us with its difficulties, and the storms may look as if they won't stop. So, our Jesus looks upon us, intercedes in behalf of our lives, and prays that we do not lose the faith. Jesus spoke to Peter, "Behold Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat." (Luke 22:31). Satan hasn't changed. He still tempts us in order to bring out the bad in us. He doesn't really need to tempt us as much when chaos is all around, because his job only becomes easier. However, when the believer stands in the faith with Christ Jesus, it gives Satan something to work on. Little does Satan know, Jesus is on the other end praying for all believers. Whether their faith is strong or weak, Christ is praying. V.32 "But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren". Satan attacks our faith because without faith we fail, then all else fails. Pray today for your country and also for the people that have been hit by storms and have lost loved ones and their homes. We need stronger faith. God Bless You.

Sometimes foolish

Titus 3:3 kjv. "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another". I remember how lost and ashamed I was before I meet the Lord. There were times I felt so helpless and broken, and I would try my hardest to find a way to make myself happy. Deceived by lust and pleasures, I would chase after my next high. I would try to stop and try to change for the better, but it would only last a few days. I couldn't stop doing what my body craved so much and what my heart desired. It was taking me to Hell quickly. Then I came to the point of suicide. I had to do something because all that I tried to do never worked. One night after a day of drugging I thought,  "This is it, now or never." I grabbed the Holy Bible, got on my knees, and said, "God if your real, as this book says You are, then help me". Ephesians 2:4-6 says  "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith He loved us, vs5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) vs6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus". God is so Good! I was lost, but now I am found. Praise God. God Bless You.

Come Boldly

". Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15,KJV". Stop hiding in your sin. God sees you hiding, and says to you, "Come, and know what My Son has for you".He sees you just as He saw Adam and Eve in the garden. He knew exactly what they had done even though they tried to hide. So many live in shame and guilt, when the Lamb of God has already  been sacrificed. The Lord is merciful and gracious. He is faithful to His Word. He is familiar with our infirmities and sufferings. He too has been tempted like you and I, but has not fallen into sin, as we do. He knows all that we face and that is why He asks us to come boldly unto the throne of grace. He knows even when we fall into sin. The way out of the condemnation is by going to the throne of grace, crying out, and repenting. The Blood of Christ has made an atonement for you and I already. We just have to believe. "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin". Hebrews 4:16Give God Praise for His Mercies endure forever. God Bless You.

Dwell together in unity

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1 KJV."  Everything living is meant to come together in unity. Take for instance the flower and the bee. Without the flower how can the bee live? How can the flower live without the bee that spreads pollen from one flower to another? The world is made in a unique way. God sure did put the world together in an awesome way, because all things living, from the smallest insect to the largest beast in the field, are meant to help each other in some way or another. God created man to be in unity with each other also, first husband and wife, then family. Life can only grow when it comes into unity. Without unity there can be no life. The church was born when brothers and sisters in the Lord came together in unity. They all had one purpose in mind, and that was to wait for the promise from the Lord. There is power in unity. When the Body of Christ prays together as one and stands in agreement, it brings freedom, and the Anointing of the Lord flows. How pleasant it is when we as the Church dwell together in unity. We need one another so True Life can come to pass. Praise the Lord. God Bless You.

His house

"But Christ as a son over His own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Hebrews 3:6 KJV".  There is so much change that has come into this world, and time is moving so fast. So many families, here in America and around the world, have lost their jobs and along with their jobs they have also lost their homes, leaving many homeless and helpless. There is no telling how long this economic drought will go on, but the Lord says here in the book of Hebrews, Christ has a house, and we are members of this house if we hold fast to the confidence and keep our hope in Him. Times may look bad all around us, but we as believers walk by faith and not by sight. Our job is to reach out to those who are hurting and homeless. We must let them know there is a hope and a way through it all. There is a rain that will fall on this land, and it comes from Heaven above. Many might harden their hearts, but we come to encourage, warn them, and let them know Christ Jesus has plenty of room in His house for them. Pray for the families around this world and the Body of Christ. God Bless You.

The Bread of God

John 6:33 amp. "For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world". Jesus, God's only begotten Son, is the Bread of life. There is nothing in this world that can sustain our needs, but only the Bread from heaven, Christ Jesus Himself. We can look for joy or try to buy happiness, but only to find out that it perishes and was unable to keep us satisfied. There is so much stuff in this world made by man. It claims total happiness and for your "miracle" to come to pass, if you buy it, watch it, or just do it. There are books on "feeling good about yourself." Fill your shovels, and become the best seller. Programs fill the church house. Where is the faith in the Word of God? Many have gone so far to try to feel good about themselves, and to make a buck. Jesus said "He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in Me will never thirst any more".  Our souls will be satisfied, lacking in nothing. Jesus came to give life to this world, and only He can satisfy our needs. Give Him Praise. God Bless You.
