God Forgives

He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear* { revere ] him;   ( psalms 103:10-11 *niv  )
Dear Friend,
  God offers repentance to all who come to Him!  I know that many people believe that they have done something that they cannot be forgiven for, but that is incorrect; for He knows how we are formed he remembers that we are dust. (Psalms 103:14)
  He also knows that to be of the flesh is to be sinful!  After all God has promised; I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. (Jeremiah 33:8)
  Therefore if you slip and sin, seek forgiveness as King David did, for he said; then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord” – and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Psalms 32:5)
  So Friend, do not beat yourself up over past mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and remember that; blessed is He whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins a recovered.  Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against his and in whose spirit is no deceit.   Amen.  (Psalms 32:1-2)

A.S.A.P

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He   hears us.  And if we know that he hears us,   whatever we ask, we know that we have the   petitions that we have asked of Him.   (1 John 5:14-15 *nkjv )

   Dear Friend,
       We often find ourselves too busy to stop and say a prayer   when we have a rough day.  In this life everything seems like it has to be accomplished A.S.A.P.  So we often forget to   speak to God in prayer about it before we react.

       Therefore one must remember that; the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective!.   ( James 5:16 *niv )  More powerful and more effective than   anything else on this Earth, even when we must react   As Soon As Possible.

       Now Friend, have you ever wondered about the    abbreviation A.S.A.P.?  Generally we think of it in terms   of even more hurry and stress in our lives.  Maybe if we   think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will   begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days    along the way.

       So when.......
         There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
         You've got no time to spare,
         But as you hurry and scurry-
         ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

         In the midst of family chaos,
         "Quality time" is rare.
         Do your best; let God do the rest-
         ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

         It may seem like your worries
         Are more than you can bear.
         Slow down and take a breather-
         ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

         God knows how stressful life is;
         He wants to ease our cares,
         And He'll respond to all your needs
         A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

Love the Lord


Jesus said; He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.  And he who loves Me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." (John 14:21 *nkjv )

Dear Friend,

 When we lovingly obey God's Commandments, and study His Word we begin to experience a more intimate knowledge of our Heavenly Father.  It is through that knowledge that we become closer to Him as well, for it is written that if you; draw near to God and he will draw near to you. (James 4:8 )

Now isn't is a pity that so many in this World today feel unloved and alone, when all they have to do is reach out to God?  For it is also written; God is love. (1 john 4:8) Why not pray for them tonight, and always tell God how much you love Him when you pray.  For God has said; I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.  (Proverbs 8:17 )

So, love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'  ( Matthew 22:37 ) And He will love you and bless you, in return. He will also fill you with His Great Love, a love that many in the World do not know.   Amen.

Be faithful


Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life (revelation 2:10 *niv )

 

Dear Friend,

  There are many times in this life when our faith is put to the test.  Times that we may even feel that God has abandoned us because a prayer isn't answered the way we want it to be.  Know that it is written; though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,  that the genuineness of your faith, being much  more precious than gold that perishes, though it is  tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and  glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  ( 1 peter 1:6-7 )

 

 Also know that sometimes what we pray for isn't God's will for us thus; this is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.  ( 1 john 5:14 )

 

 You see, sometimes what we pray for would actually hurt us in the long run, and our Heavenly Father is protecting us from that.  Other times we just can't understand God's ways for; no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.  (1 Corinthians 2:11)

 

 However, we do know He loves us very much, and would never abandoned us or deliberately hurt us.  So we must keep our faith knowing that God is with us and that no matter what happens He is in control!

 

 Therefore it is important that; we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) trusting that God knows what is best for us, even if a prayer isn't answered the way we want  it to be!   Amen.

THE LORD IS MY LIGHT

The Lord is my light and my salvation -whom shall i fear? The Lord is the strong hold of my life of whom shall i be afraid? (psalms 27:1 *niv )

Dear Friend
Do not let the events of the World today, or the in the future, cause you any fear. For it is written;
the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8 )

After all
, if you make the most High your dwelling even the Lord, who is my refuge then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For He will command His Angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. ( psalms 91:9-12 )

Therefore,
when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. For; the Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous. ( proverbs 3:25,33 )

So Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for THE
L
ord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." amen. ( Deuteronomy 31:6 )

Bless the Lord


This Message is Especially for You

Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies,( psalm 103:2 & 4 *nkjv )


 indeed, we should never forget just how very much our Heavenly Father loves each one of us.  Also how many ways HE proves that to us each day as well!

   After all when we feel hopeless; the Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)

When we can't find the answers we want, or are in need of guidance, He will provide the way, for; this also comes from the Lord of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. (Isaiah 28:29)


 Further, don't forget the best benefit of all, for; this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.( 1 john 5:11 )

   So in return you should; love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' because he Loves you even more than that!   Amen (Mark 12:30)

iGeneration

 

My Manna


"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8.

The Bible describes a time in Israel's history when "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 17:6. 

But I also think that is a good description of our time. 

Rather than living by a set of absolute standards like the Ten Commandments-
- many people are making up their own standards and using a sliding scale for morality, 
- thinking they are at least better than the next person.

It reminds me of the prophet Isaiah's warning:
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20. 

That is where our culture is today. 
We mock what is good and pure, and we celebrate what is wicked and sinful. 
Good is called evil and evil is called good in our upside-down world.

That is why I think our generation could easily be called the iGeneration-
- because we think it is all about us. 

It is all about our getting-
- what we want, 
- when we want to get it. 

Now that we can get our information on demand, we don't want to be told what we can see or hear or let others decide when we can hear and see it. 

We want what we want, and we want it when we want it. 
And many are taking the same approach to morality.

So how do we reach a culture like this? 

Answer: 
We reach it the same way Christians reached their culture 2,000 years ago. 

We reach our culture with the authority and the message of God's Word-
- because that never changes, no matter what. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." 
Hebrews 13:8.
