Have you met the Savior Jesus Christ?
His extreme love for humanity and love of the Father brought Him to earth. Jesus willingly gave His life as a sacrifice for you so you could have eternal salvation. Knowing God and walking with Jesus is assurance for life eternal. Trust Him today. Surrender your heart, your will, your way and Jesus will show you His will, His way, His truth as He leads you on the road to the promised land. Eternity with God. The choice is yours. The alternative is eternal Hell.

🙏 Lord, my heart breaks for the lost soul. I ask that You will open eyes, soften hearts, bring understanding and wisdom to the ones reading this who do not know You. I pray for the ones who do know you that their hearts would be broken for the lost and that you would give us opportunities to share especially as many celebrate Easter. Help us to bring the true meaning of Easter into the lives of our neighbors. For Your glory and in the name of Jesus, our Savior, I pray. Amen.

Prayer of Confession

Mar23

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when you speak, and blameless when You pass judgment.

Happy Valentines Weekend 💝

Feb13

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (satisfaction) for our sins.
1 John 4:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.10.NASB1995

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.16.NASB1995

❤️ We love, because He first loved us.

Walk In The Spirit – Joy (10)

Feb3

But the fruit of the Spirit is joy
Galatians 5:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.10.NASB1995

Salvation should be celebrated! A new life, a new beginning, walking under the grace, mercy, and love of God. Are we as joyous as the angels of God over a person who has found salvation in Jesus Christ?

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’ ”
Luke 15:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.32.NASB1995

I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Luke 15:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.7.NASB1995

Is salvation a one time joyous event and then put in the closet, under the bed, a moment in time unimportant, forgotten?
Isn’t salvation supposed to be life changing? Time altering? Soul surrendering? Obedience seeking? God honoring? A joyous life?

Only if the Holy Spirit is residing in us can this be accomplished.

Let us celebrate with joy over every salvation and walk alongside that person(s), encouraging and building them up in Christ for His glory and purpose.

Continually Seeking Him,

Walk In The Spirit – Joy (3)

Jan23

But the fruit of the Spirit is joy
Galatians 5:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 12:2-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.12.2-6.NASB1995

Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And glory in Your praise.
Psalms 106:47 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.106.47.NASB1995

Is your salvation a joy? Does knowing that Jesus is trustworthy and faithful bring joy to your heart as you walk through your day? Do you have a song of joy filling your soul knowing that one day you will be gathered with the saints in praise to our God? Does a smile of joy fill your face that others notice? Are you a walking testimony of the joy of the Lord?

🌹O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
Psalms 95:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.95.1-2.NASB1995

How wonderful to know the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ and walk in His Spirit of joy!
