Present Christian Blessing

John 20:29,  "Jesus told him (Thomas), because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Ephesians 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves - it is the gift of GOD." Have you accepted this awesome gift? For greatly blessed are those who believe yet have not seen our Almighty GOD! One Day we shall see Him as He is, O glorious Day!

Christ's Has Risen Indeed

Matthew 27:52-53, "The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people."

Commentary - "Christ's death was accompanied by at least four miraculous events: darkness, tearing in two of the curtain in the temple, an earthquake, and dead people rising from their tombs." Jesus was seen after His resurrection by many, even the Roman guards who were placed there to keep people from "stealing His body away." When they saw Jesus in His resurrected body, they were as dead men (in fear of what they saw!)  (Matt. 28:4)

Christ paid the price for your sins. Accept His gift and receive eternal life!

What a City!

Can you imagine your city being 1400 miles wide, long, and high! These are the dimensions of the New Jerusalem! (Revelation 21:16). The space shuttle was only 250 miles high! I can't comprehend what the size of the New Earth is going to be to have the New Jerusalem upon it!

What wonders there will be in Eternity with our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD!

Only those who know Jesus as their Savior will be in His glorious Presence forever. 

John 14:6, "I Am the Way, Truth, and Light. No one comes unto the Father but through Me." That is Jesus Christ.

JOY

JOY! Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last.

What joy in the LORD we will always have! In our final, everlasting life, we will be in a new creation with our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD! No more evil will exist! 

Revelation 21:1 speaks of a new heaven and earth for the former has passed away!
We will have new bodies (I Thessalonians 4:16).
No more sickness disease, sorrow, sadness, or pain.

No more evil or wickedness of any kind will ever exist again!

Come LORD Jesus for the Rapture of Your Church!

The Way to Eternal Life

Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to Life, and only a few find it."

Which road are you traveling? Accepting Christ Jesus' free gift of salvation leads you onto the path that is narrow. Rejecting His free gift keeps you on the broad road that leads to a destruction that will last forever with no chance of detour. Make your decision now before you cross over the line of death. 

Be Spiritually Fruitful for the LORD's Kingdom.

Good soil produces good fruit. That is accomplished by being led of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 7:15-20, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing. They are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will know them. (People's attitudes, dispositions and personalities show their "fruit.") Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will know them (whether they are of GOD or not!)"

What are your actions, deeds, words, and thoughts? Are they of GOD or the flesh? Seed that is planted in the good soil (knowledge of GOD) will produce much for the kingdom of GOD! Its reward is great in eternal life with our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD!  

Are You Among the Thorns?

It's amazing in gardening how unattended soil will have thorns come up and crowd out the plants you have unattended! It is so in our lives if we don't be attentive continually about things that come into our lives! We hear, "It's the popular thing now days!" "Try it just this one time!" "Everybody's doing it!" The more "thorns" there are, the less sensitive we become to the truth.

Matthew 13:22, Jesus explained, "The one who receives the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the Word, but worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth chokes it, making it unfruitful."

7 reasons to not let the thorns of worry take over your life:

1. The same GOD who created life in you can be trusted with the details of your life. (Matthew 6:25)

2. Worrying about the future hampers your efforts of today. (Matthew 6:26)

3. Worrying is more harmful than helpful. (Matthew 6:27)

4. GOD does not ignore those who depend on Him. (Matthew 6:28-30)

5. Worrying shows a lack of faith in and under standing of GOD. (Matthew 6:31-32)

6. Worrying keeps us from real challenges GOD wants us to pursue. (Matthew 6:33)
7.Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry. (Matthew 6:34)

So, let not the thorns of worry consume you and your life!
