Never on Our Own

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:12-13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.12-13.NASB1995

Jesus, Savior and Lord, says, “You will do greater works than Me.”? Believers in  the resurrected Son of God, Jesus, will do great things? Yes, because you, Believer, are in Christ and Christ is in you! What a privilege to serve our Lord in calling others to know the salvation we have received. Have you surrendered to His will so that through you God will be glorified, Jesus exalted, by the works we are called to do?

And we need not fear,
For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.37.NASB1995

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:27 NASB1995

So be assured that walking in God’s will you can know that,

🌹If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”

Living For Jesus

I love Jesus
Yes, I do.
I love Jesus
Do you too?
I love Him because
He first loved me.
l choose to live for
Jesus who died for me.
Chosen of God for a purpose to fulfill
Called to glorify Him for His will!

Do you know Jesus?

We love, because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.19.NASB1995

and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.5.15.NASB1995

Worth The Wait

And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
Isaiah 25:9 NASB1995

¹(Isaiah 35:2)

To Whom Do I Turn?

Living life is not always easy. Like when the bottom falls out of your perfectly planned day. The times when your kids are too quiet and you find they have totally redecorated your sofa with markers and glued on flowers. Or maybe the stress of having enough income to cover this month’s bills. The news that there is a layoff coming to your workplace. Where do you go? What do you do?

In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
Psalms 18:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.18.6.NASB1995

In my trouble I cried to the Lord, And He answered me.
Psalms 120:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.120.1.NASB1995

🌹Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

Mercy Toward Doubters

And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
Jude 1:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jud.1.22.NASB1995

Everyone deals with doubt at one time or another, even believers who walk with Jesus. Take Peter for example, who was a disciple of Christ at the time Jesus walked on the sea. Peter got out of the boat to walk to Jesus. Peter’s focus was on Jesus until the wind picked up and he became frightened. Jesus, of course, reached out to save him and spoke these words, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?

Peter who stepped out in faith, was a disciple of our Lord, and yet he doubted Jesus.
Matthew 14:28-33

There are people in our churches today who doubt. Can we extend mercy to them and lead them to the assurance we have in our future because of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior?

They are lacking assurance of faith, living in worry for the day, focused on everyday life instead of Jesus and eternity.

🌹Let us show mercy to those who attend church, yet doubt. Let us extend mercy to all who doubt.

Continually Seeking Him,

Dwell in The Love of God

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jud.1.20-21.NASB1995

Contend earnestly for the faith. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, 
having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith. Just as you were instructed, encourage one another and build up one another, overflowing with gratitude. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints while anxiously looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Jude 1:3/1 Timothy 6:12/Colossians 2:7/1 Thessalonians 5:11/Ephesians 6:18/Titus 2:13 NASB1995 

🌹so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

Imitator of God

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.5.1.NASB1995

You shall be holy, for the Lord God is holy. Leviticus 19:2 NASB1995¹
Be blameless – complete, perfect, or having integrity – before the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:13 NASB1995²
Cleanse yourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:1 NASB1995³

Let us strive to be holy before God as Jesus has demonstrated. Wholly committed to His way, His truth, His will.

Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.48.NASB1995

As Paul said,
🌹Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Wisdom unto Salvation

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
Ecclesiastes 7:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/ecc.7.12.NASB1995

Both wisdom and money can protect  you in life but you can’t buy yourself into eternal life. Wisdom leads you to real life, salvation found in Jesus Christ.

and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.15.NASB1995

She (wisdom) is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who hold her fast.
