Nobody Loves Me Like You Love Me Jesus

God loved Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He made good promises to them. He even wrestled with Jacob. God really loves us because He is able to forgive us. God is able to make perfect children from the start, but He decided to make us perfect through Jesus. Even though we may see the earth as a failure, God is not a failure and He loves us enough to die for us. But God did not stop there, He has given us eternal life and much much better lives to come. The earth is not a failure. For God to command us to love Him, and to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul, body, and strength just shows His heart. We can almost understand what God feels like because most people want to be loved. God is truly giving us more than a chance to live because we as humans have all done something deserving of death. But God in His love showed us life itself, Jesus Christ. God will one day save all of Israel. Through the pages of the Bible we know about Israel, but when you are actually seeing the real world Israel it could be confusing. But God has not abandoned Israel. He also has not abandoned every single person on the face of this earth. But God wants us to live the way He wants, and not how we see fit. Otherwise God will abandon those people who reject Him, to a eternal punishment. Choose life today. Jesus is the only way. But we have to take up our cross, and die for Jesus, in order to really live.

I have to die to sin, I have to die to what I want to do. I have to die to unrighteousness. I have to give up everything for Jesus. This life is more serious than we have ever really realized. Going to the cross is clearly a really really really really hard thing to do. Jesus still went through with it. Jesus loves us so so much.

God, please help me to give up my life for my friends. Help me to not look back at my old life and sin. Help me not to look back like Lot’s wife. Help me to want the life you have for me. Have mercy on me God because I am a sinner. I am not the smartest person. I am not the most attractive. Help me to be humble God and lowly in heart like Jesus. This life is not about having a good time. Defeat my enemies God. Help me to be truthful in my inward parts Father. Help me to share all that I am with my brothers and sisters. In Jesus name.

Amen

All Things For My Good

God is working all things together for good to those that love Him. When you hear this you have to really imagine all and everything that you go through. When you take a look at the world and all the animals and plants, people, and process that takes place you see the hardness, the difficulty, the work, and the uneasiness. When Jesus created the universe He added a flavor, a spice, a uniqueness to it. As you believe in Jesus you realize that the process is not easy. Especially because in the world and in my heart I can see that evil and wickedness is present or has been present in the past. So when you learn through Jesus and the apostles that we are to live without sin and evil in our lives you can see what a difficult task this is. But with God all things are possible. Knowing that all things are working together for my good takes a lot of the worry and the stress and the fear of something bad happening to me in the future. I know if I love God, then anything that I go through and the way I feel is to my advantage. I just need to make sure I love God.  

Jesus says if you love him keep His commands. Even Job had a wonderful spirit when the bad things came to him in his life. Job praised God. And I have this hope that it wasn't all bad, God revealed more to Job about himself and comforted Job. It wasn't all bad because Job was blessed in the second half of his life. God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us. One of the definitions of prosper means to flourish physically and to be in good health. It also means to make successful and to grow in material wealth. Although to me materials are important, much more important is when God says He is not trying to harm us. And certainly God is in the position to harm us knowing the truth that we have sinned. But God chose to redeem us. Knowing these truths tell me God is working all things for my good. Let us trust God no matter what we go through weather happy or sad. He is so wise and Christ love for us goes beyond understanding. When you love someone, and especially when they do what you say and are in agreement with your desires, wouldn't God want to treat me well? The bible says that God can do exceedingly abundantly above what we ask or think. We hear all throughout the word that God has lovingkindness. Surely his ways of treating people are not like how people treat people. In our best efforts our RIGHTEOUSNESS is like filthy rags to God. If our rightousness is dirty to God surely His rightousness is so good we barely even know it. Maybe a reason why God wants us to go through hardships is becuase we can get more out of it. Love more, appreciate more, obey more, respect more. The easy things it is easy to take for granted, but the hard things are something worth glory. God help me to stay on the narrow path, strengthen me oh God because I am weak and poor. Many have fallen Lord, I come to you for success. Give me life in Jesus name.

Trusting God

Because we trust God we expect everything to go according to his plan, not according to ours. I recently went to get a replacement I.D. card with my parents for the military because I am a dependent. There was a lot of talking about getting the I.D. card and not knowing fully weather it could be done. Surprisingly, I was just quietly sitting as my parents discussed the details of getting the replacement I.D. card. My parents had all the information and we're doing mostly all of the talking. I didn't have to do anything but sign a few papers. Usually you would think I would have to do more talking or state my case for why I needed this I.D. card. I thought to myself, I trust my parents. I didn't even have to think about whether things were being done correctly because I knew and could see that they had all they needed and knew what they were doing.  In the same way,  God knows what he is doing. He is asking us to trust Him and sit quietly while he unwraps all the details of your life. When he asks us to do something, it is for our own good. God commanded or asked Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Any person other than Jesus would think, why would I do that, that will hurt me? But Jesus saw the big picture and was a ransom for us because we all died. God wants us to live the best life. God gives us instructions for how to live on earth. God does not leave us abandoned. I believe God will bring things into our life as good deeds for us to do, and all we have to do is just sign up. God is our parent so to speak, and we are the child along for the journey. God is taking care of the details and all we need to do is stick with Him and "sign the paperwork" so to speak, at the end. We should go looking for good opportunities and to do good works,  praying that God leads us to be more like our precious savior Jesus Christ. My point is that I didn't have to do anything except signing up for an I.D. card when I went to the office, even though it seemed more complicated. And God can make it to where you need nothing and you don't need to do anything but stay in faith. I'm asking you to just sign up by believing in God to handle what your going through.

I just recently got a new job as a leasing agent, I was worried my job would be too strenuous and I would be too busy but God aligned the perfect job for me. I have scoliosis and my back was hurting during the work of a previous job and I wondered how I would do the job but God opened the door to a new job. God is so good. He takes care of His children. I want to and I believe I do trust God to work all things for my good, no matter what I may face, and I want you to do the same. Thank you for reading.

I found God

Today I believe God again revealed himself to me and I feel him in my spirit. Chaplain (Pastor) Hudson was preaching a word on Luke 4:1-4 and the message was talking about how God is preparing us as we go through life on earth, to be with Him in paradise.  As she was speaking the Holy Spirit put on my heart God is Spirit. So simple , but it really helped me to see I am not looking for God by what I can see. This opened my eyes to know what it means to find God and have fellowship with Him. The creator,  maker of heaven and earth,  the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a spirit. He is not a man (numbers 23:19). When we search for God, we are not searching for something physical, or a feeling really, but a spirit. God not being man means we can commune with Him because He is near (Psalm 145:18), and He is near to all who call on him in truth. He is giving me power to do his will and to obey His word. The bible verse that I learned that God is sprit is John 4:24 for those who do not know God is spirit.. God is present in my life and may He be present in yours. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

 

Stay At Rest

With life's situations being what they are, trouble can try to steal your peace. Jesus makes a key statement when talking about trouble, he says to take heart, he has overcome the world. To take heart means to feel encouraged, confident, and to have courage that the situation will get better. Jesus wants us to live an abundant life, free from sin, hangups, and failures. Jesus says ask and it will be given. When the disciples were on a boat with Jesus a serious storm broke open on the lake. While the storm broke open Jesus was sleeping. This can be a situation where one can learn to sleep during a storm, but also not lose your peace. Sleeping through the storm means to stay at rest, to not even notice how bad the conditions are, but how Good and Great and powerful your God is. Stay in faith. The trouble is normal part of life, and it will soon be over. What happened in that story? Jesus woke up and calmed the storm. Wait on God, He will soon calm the storm. But don’t lose faith in the process.

 

Losing peace means getting upset, worrying, not trusting God to deliver and Shepherd us in the right direction. God is good. Thanks for reading.

Patience

I am always thinking about the end of something, the end of the world, how God is going to come back and restore peace through his Kingdom of God. It is so gracious of the Lord to bring his Kingdom to earth. Earth has a bad rap, we are constantly hearing of the world's bad report and reputation. Sometimes we are eager to be set free of what is keeping us bound. Jesus says when we obey his word, that is when we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. Now Jesus mentions that it will set us free, this implies that we have to be patient for the freedom. God is not slow to set us free or bring justice. When we cry out to God and make our request known day and night, God will quickly answer. God has everything under his control. The bible says that no one will snatch us out of the Father's hand and Jesus' hand. Let's have the patience and pray for the patience to wait on God.

I pray right now for Jesus' kingdom to come down to earth. I pray for a sound mind. I pray to take on the kingdom of heaven like a little child. I pray to take up my cross and follow Jesus. I want to make a point to be patient for the Lord to answer prayers and trusting him to bring us the patience we need. God is all knowing. Just take a moment to realize how much better than our situation is God. He knows what we need before we ask. And God gives us what we ask for in prayer. Let's remember to be open and willing for God to move and work in our life. God acts fast. He has an appointed time for everything. Why don't we just keep busy with other works of God while waiting for God to bring the kingdom to you. 

I Love You Forever father and lord

Jesus paid the price for each one of us to live freely. The truth will set us free. I desire to be in the kingdom of heaven, and I will Lord willing. I desire to live right and to not do anything wrong, especially according to Gods commandments. Jesus says ask and it will be given. I took a moment and prayed as i typed this message to you. I know that Jesus will answer, no, the Father will asnwer my prayers with a Yes. I am twenty five right now and there are some things I have been instructed by my parents to let go. Is God asking you to let go of something in your life right now? I do, and I have prayed again to allow the Lord to move to get over problems. When you hurt someone you feel sad that you let God down and that persons expectations. There is nothing in my life that should be a surprise to God, I have given my life over to Him to mend and bring me to where it pleases Him. Lord have your way in me. God is in control and able, more than able to mend your broken pieces. I surrender my life and my everything to your will. Bless the reader of this message to know you more and to be more pleasurable to you Father. Amen.

God will finish what He started

With God nothing is impossiple. You may be carrying something you think is dead, but you know God gave it to you. What God started He will finish, your breakthrough is coming, in Jesus name! God is going vindicate you what isn't fair. Opportunity is going to track you down. Keep your faith stirred up. Just like a baby kicks in a mother's womb, what your hoping for is still alive. Thank you Jesus for the breakthrough. Just because you have given up does'nt mean God has. Keep on believing. What God started he will finish.

Live for Christ

God is like water to a thirsty soul.

God is like water to a thirsty soul.

That which was from the beginning is the word of life who is Jesus Christ. We are to have fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. If we say we have fellowship but still live in darkness we lie and do not the truth. We must make sure we are truthful in all our life. The truth is that God sent His Son Jesus into the world to die for sinners and the entire world, and He was successful in saving the world. We must walk in the light and have fellowship with one another, Jesus will cleanse us from all sin. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrightousness.

The book of 1st John explains that he is writing to give us joy. God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. Remember to confess your sins to have the Lord clease us of all sin. As I grow in Christ, the challengess that we have I am going to give to God. The Lord says He is the good shepherd. We are the sheep and every aspect of our life God will take hold and make right. In all our ways acknowledge God and He will make the path straight. This is my encouragement from 1 John 1.
