He Gave His Earthly Life for You


Matthew 27:45-51, "From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'My GOD, My GOD, why have You forsaken Me!'  When Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His Spirit. At that moment the curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.



"The earth quaked and the rocks split."



Jesus Christ died on the Cross after He took upon Himself all the sins of mankind; past present, and future. Your sins have been paid for. All you need do for eternal life in a new eternal body is to ask (with your heart felt conviction) Jesus to forgive you of your sins and He will. Your life will change and His Holy Spirit will fellowship with you and change your life forever! Hallelujah for what He has done and what He has planned for each person who comes to His salvation!

The Little Donkey Who Carried Christ on His Back


Little Donkey chosen to carry Christ on Palm Sunday, what a blessing to carry GOD in the Flesh upon his back!


Matthew 21:8-11, Luke 35-38, "The crowd spread their cloaks and palm branches on the road.


"The disciples brought the donkey to Jesus and Christ sat upon him."

What a privilege for this little donkey to carry Christ upon his back! I can say wholeheartedly this creation of Christ was greatly blessed of all animals to have his creator sit upon him.

Christ and His Church


Ephesians 5:26-33, "Christ made the Church (members) clean by the washing with water through the Word to present her as a radiant church without stain or blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way ought husbands love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves his own body...


"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the LORD. For the husband is a head of the wife AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH. As the Church submits to Christ so also wives submit to their husbands (as the stronger partner: 1 Peter 3:7, "Husbands be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner.")

  
"For this reason a man will leave his parents and be united with his wife and the two will become one in flesh. This is a profound mystery. I am talking about Christ and His Church."

Upon salvation Christ makes Himself one with us in His Holy Spirit's infilling. That's one of the amazing things in the recognizing of another Christian you don't even know! Christ's Spirit in you acknowledges His Spirit in the other person and YOU BOTH know it even before talking! That's seeing GOD in others by His Holy Spirit in you! How much more so that is when married people both love the LORD with all their heart, soul, body, and mind! "What a fellowship, what a love divine, leaning on the everlasting Arms (of Jesus Christ!) What a blessedness is this peace of mind, leaning on the everlasting arms!" Are you safe and secure from all alarms? Lean on Jesus' everlasting Arms!

You Will Know Me For Who I Am



Hosea 2:18,20 GOD is speaking, "I will make a peace treaty between you (mankind) and the wild animals...


"birds...


"and reptiles...


"You (mankind, wild animals, birds, reptiles) will know Me for Who I really Am."

GOD's Holy Spirit has a personal relationship with man. Who are we to think or say He doesn't also have a personal relationship with His animal kingdom? Just because we don't physically see this doesn't mean He Spiritually is not! He is the Creator of everything! He's all knowing even the thoughts of man as well as the animals!

"Let all creatures (animal kingdom) praise His Holy Name forever and ever." Psalm 145:21




"The creatures (animal kingdom) themselves will be liberated from death and decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD." Romans 8:21



"The armies of heaven were following Him (Jesus), riding on white horses dressed in white linen." Revelation 19:14 Christ's return to earth has horses involved!

What Fellowship Has Light With Darkness


Ephesians 5:8-21, "For you were once darkness but now you are light in the LORD. Live as children of the light (for the fruit of light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) and find out what pleases the LORD.


"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is even shameful to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. Light makes everything visible. Be careful how you live - not as unwise, but as wise making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the LORD's will is. Do not get drunk which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit of...


"Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the LORD always giving thanks to GOD the Father for everything, in the Name of our LORD Jesus Christ."

                           REMEMBER:



                                BECAUSE



Satan tries to portray himself to be as Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:14, "Satan portrays himself as an angel of light." 

Jesus is the Light. (1 John 1:17)

"Satan tries to portray himself as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. (Revelation 5:5)

Seek the LORD Jesus and not allow Satan to lead you to destruction which is eternal.

"You Alone Are the LORD."


Nehemiah 9:6, "You Alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, the heaven of heavens,


"the starry hosts,


"the earth and all that is on it,

"the seas and all that are in them.


"You give life to everything and THEY WORSHIP YOU IN HEAVEN."

There is coming a time when this present universe will be destroyed:

2 Peter 3:12, "The day of GOD is coming. That day will bring about (total) destruction of the heavens (universe) by fire and the elements will melt with fervent heat."

But the joy of those who belong to His salvation will experience:

Revelation 21:1, "I saw a new heaven and new earth for the 1st heaven and earth had passed away (See above, 2 Peter 3:12)."

Revelation 21:2, "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem coming out of heaven from GOD and it sat upon the new earth."

This is when Romans 8:21 occurs, "The creatures themselves will be liberated from death and decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD."



Psalm 145:21, "Let ALL CREATURES praise Your Holy Name FOREVER AND EVER!"

Be Imitators of GOD


Ephesians 5:1-7, "Be imitators of GOD, therefore as dearly beloved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to GOD.


"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for GOD's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather (give) thanksgiving.


"For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such as an idolater - has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of GOD. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things GOD's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.


"Therefore, DO NOT be partners with them."

"By your fruits (works) they will know you." (Matthew 7:16) The things you say and do as well as the people you associate with and what they say and do will be your witness to everyone around you. Do you "hang out" with the wrong people who don't glorify GOD by their attitudes, dispositions, and personalities? If you do, I pray it is to share the message of salvation to them.  Only harm can come to those who act in these ungodly manners. But, GOD has a blessing for any who comes to Him in repentance. "Come to Me, ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Be an imitator of GOD!

Living As Children of Light


Ephesians 4:17-32, "You must no longer live as the lost do. They are darkened in their understanding, separated from the life of GOD because their ignorance has hardened their hearts. They've lost all sensitivity and given themselves over to sensuality, indulging in every impurity. But you heard of Christ and were taught in accordance with  the truth that is in Jesus. 

You put off the old self which was corrupted by deceitful desires to be made new in your minds, created to be like GOD in true righteousness and holiness. Do not let unwholesome speech  come from your mouths. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit Whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 


Forgive one another just as Christ forgave you,"


Forgiveness for others is maturing in the LORD, whether they receive it or not. I'm sure those lost who have now passed, pray they had received the forgiveness Jesus Christ offered them. Once you cross over in death, there is no second chance. Now is the time of salvation if you have not received the LORD. He offers it as a free gift. Humble yourself to Him, asking Him with all your heart to forgive you and He will. His Holy Spirit will confirm in your heart your salvation and you will want to do all His Word has shared.  "He will supply all your needs." (Philippians 4:19)  Come to Him now.
