One God

Jan24

Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
Deuteronomy‬ ‭4:39‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/deu.4.39.NASB1995

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
Colossians‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.16.NASB1995

one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.6.NASB1995

🌹There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.

Turn To Me

Jan2

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah‬ ‭45:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.22.NASB1995

God is inclusive when it comes to the offer of salvation. He already knows that all are sinners – all nationalities, all walks of life, all ages, – and that we all fall short of His glory. But God. God simply says, turn to Me and be saved. God created all mankind, that’s everybody,  and He is the only way to salvation from the sin and corruption of each individual’s life in this world. Now is the time of salvation.

‭‭Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:2‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.2.NASB1995

Any delay could cost you your eternity. The payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross for you is eternal joy. The cost of refusing the payment made by Jesus is eternal hell. Hell does not come close to the hell you might be experiencing in your earthly life. Just remember that the choice is yours. Jesus simply says, “Turn to Me and be saved”.

‭‭🌹The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.
Isaiah‬ ‭52:10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
John 3:31 NASB

Jesus came from heaven. Jesus is above all! You can deny this truth but one day you will know for sure that Jesus is above all. God, the Father, has given all authority to Jesus in heaven and on earth.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:18 NASB

Are you an expert on heaven?
Are you and expert on God?

Jesus is. He is the Only one who has ever descended from heaven to also ascend to heaven.

No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
John 3:13 NASB

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.
John 3:32 NASB

Jesus speaks testifies to the truth of God the Father and heaven because He has seen and heard first hand. He did not need faith as we do. We simply need to believe and trust that Jesus is the Christ sent by the Father for our sake.

🌹And there is salvation in no one else (JesusChrist); for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12 NASB

Please Seek Jesus.

Your Best Interest

Jun30

For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever (dwells in eternity), whose name is Holy, “I dwell on a high and holy place, And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 57:15 NASB

Can you even fathom that the God of the universe,
– who is purely Holy (Isaiah 57:15)and
– who is eternal (Isaiah 57:15)
– who dwells on high on a throne in holy heaven with the earth as His footstool (Isaiah 66:1a)
– who made heaven and earth and all things that have come into being (Isaiah 66:2a)
Would care enough to dwell also with a contrite and lowly spirit such as you and me?

The Lord declares, “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.
Isaiah 66:2 NASB

Why?
Because.  .  .

– The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
– God will not despise a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17)
– so He can revive the heart of the broken hearted

🌹To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3 NASB

What an awesome God!!

Seek and trust God. He has your best interest at heart.

Home of The Holy Spirit

Jan23

The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; Acts 17:24‭-‬25 NASB1995

God, You are the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring (vegetation), who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it, the God who made the world and all things in it! Behold, to You, God, belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it. Who is able to build a house for You, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain You? And yet You dwell in the believer! For we are the temple of the living God; just as You, God, have said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people”. Help me God to remember that I am Your temple, the temple of the Holy Spirit of God, dwelling in me, whom you have given me, God, and that I am not my own. Thank You God for Your Spirit within me who will cause me to walk in Your statutes, and guide me to be careful to observe Your ordinances. To You be the glory, God, in and through me for Your will to be done. In the perfect name of Jesus I pray, amen.  Isaiah 42:5/Deuteronomy 10:14/2 Chronicles 2:6a/2 Corinthians 6:16/1 Corinthians 3:16/1 Corinthians 6:19/Ezekiel 36:27 NASB

🌹However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Romans 8:9 NASB

Lord?

Jan10

“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Luke 6:46 NASB

I can’t help but wonder how my salvation measures up to this verse. Lord. Lord is one who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler. Is Jesus master of my life? Do I surrender to His authority? His control? His power? Or am I content believing I am saved, sealed for eternity and can live my life the way I want to and not do what my Lord says?

🌹“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Matthew 7:21 NASB

Fell to the Ground

Jan9

So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
John 18:4‭-‬6 NASB

In my Sunday Bible Study yesterday we were looking at John 18:1-21.
As many times as I have read this passage I was amazed that I never noticed the response of the Roman regiment and officers.
Jesus asked, “Whom do you seek?” When they answered, “Jesus the Nazarene”, Jesus said, “I am”. Did you catch that? “I AM”.

I am a shield – Genesis – 15:1
I am the Lord – Genesis – 15:7
I am God Almighty – Genesis 17:1
I am with you and will keep you – Genesis 28:15
I AM WHO I AM – Exodus 3:14
(There are a whole lot more “I Am”s in the Bible.)

But now let’s look at the response. . .
So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

They drew back and FELL TO THE GROUND!!!!!

They had no power over Jesus. Jesus willingly submitted to the Father’s will and allowed them to take Him into custody. God’s will was about to be fulfilled for our salvation. The door to be opened for our eternal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Do you have the joy of the Lord?
Are you secure that you will live forever in peace and tranquility?

There are only two choices, believe and be saved or deny Christ and die. Either live in eternal peace with God or die eternally in pain and suffering.

Either choice you make you will fall to the ground. Some will fall in fear and regret. Some will fall in thankfulness. But all will fall in awe.

What are you choosing?

🌹For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall give praise to God.”
Romans 14:11 NASB

🌹so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10‭-‬11 NASB
