From Tribulation to Jubilation

During this time of pandemic, I pray all are doing what you can to "stay at home" in safety for yourself and your families.

Though we are seeing the suffering of many, it is not a surprise to the LORD. We are in a fallen world, but Christ Jesus tells us:

John 16:33, Jesus said, "I have told you these things that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, distress, and suffering, but be courageous; I have overcome the world." Jesus has paid the penalty for mankind's sins upon the Cross.

Acts 14:22, "It is through many tribulations and hardships that we must enter the Kingdom of GOD."  One Day there will never even be a memory of this sinful world for we will be given new bodies that will never again know the sins of this fallen universe.  The following verse tell us:

I Corinthians 15:53-54, "For this mortal body must put on immortality. Then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, 'Death is swallowed up in victory!"

Revelation 2:10, "Fear nothing that you are about to suffer...you will have tribulation. Be faithful to the point of death and I (Jesus) will give you a Crown of Life (for all eternity)!' "

In all things, our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD is the answer to everything! 

GOD's Promises to Mankind

Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD!"

John 3:16, For GOD so Loved the world  that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!"

Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you are saved through faith and not of yourselves: it is a gift of GOD, not of works lest any man should boast."

Acts 16:31, "Believe on the LORD Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and your household!"

Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved!"

John 14:6, "Jesus said, 'I Am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' "

Have you asked Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins? It's as simple as that. With your heart you come to Him truly in sorrow for your sins whether big or small, and ask His forgiveness. 

Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD."

I John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He Who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness!" Praise the Holy Name of Jesus Christ!

Happy Easter To You!

Matthew 28:2-6, "There was a great earthquake, for an angel of the LORD came down from heaven and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

"His appearance was like lightening and his clothes were white as snow.

"The guards were so afraid they shook and became as dead men!

"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just as He said.' "

Existence doesn't end at death. Jesus said all people will be resurrected - some to eternal judgment and others to eternal life. Those accepting Jesus as their Savior for paying the penalty for their sins upon the Cross will receive eternal life in new resurrected bodies. Those rejecting Jesus' free gift of salvation will be resurrected to judgment with an eternal punishment which they will pay for all eternity. (Revelation 20:11-15 for the lost; Revelation 21:1-4 for the saved) 

John 11:25-26, "Jesus said, 'I Am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; whoever lives and believes in Me will never die! Do you believe this?' " Praise you, LORD Jesus, I do believe in You with all I am!!!

Praise our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD for His free gift of salvation and resurrection to eternity with Him!

Pray Without Ceasing

Philippians 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD."  GOD is all knowing. I John 3:20 tells us, "GOD is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything." 

John 14:14, "You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it!" This promise Jesus has made to His children of salvation. He has a purpose during these perilous times of the coronavirus. Millions will come to His salvation during this time. This life is temporal but the new life in Christ Jesus is eternal. Another promise to His born again believers is: Revelation 21:4, "He (Jesus) will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the OLD ORDER of things has passed away!"

Hallelujah, there is a New Heaven, New Earth, New Jerusalem awaiting for us! Revelation 21:1-4, "I saw a New Heaven and New Earth for the first heaven and earth (present time) passed away...I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from GOD!

"I heard a loud voice from the throne of GOD saying, 'Now the dwelling of GOD is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people and He will be their GOD!' " Eternity is awaiting all who come to Christ Jesus for the salvation from their sin. Do you know Jesus? It is very simple. Acts 16:31, "Believe in the LORD Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household!" Simple belief, asking Him to forgive you of your sins. Believe in your heart not just in mind. One Day there will be no more sorrow, pain, aging, disease, or death; only eternal life in the new bodies we will receive from Him. Sin will be no more remembered! Only the glory of our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD will permeate in us for all eternity! Praise His Holy Name forever and ever!

FEAR NOT!

Haggai 2:5, "My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not!" During this time of global pandemic, GOD IS IN CONTROL! Believe in Him and the power of His Spirit!

Those who know Jesus Christ as their Savior know how true I Corinthians 10:13 is, "GOD is faithful Who will not suffer you above what you can bear." As a Christian we know what awaits us on the other side of death!

Christians have faith in Almighty GOD in life and death! Matthew 10:28, "Fear not what can kill the body, but not the soul. Rather fear Him (GOD) Who can destroy the body and soul in (eternal) hell!"

Knowing our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD is with us carries us through whatever can happen in this world! He carries us now as well as when He carries us Home to eternity! FEAR NOT!  Hebrews 13:5, "I (Jesus) will never leave you nor forsake you!"

GOD has us in His grasp, always! Psalm 37:24, "Though we stumble, the LORD holds us by the hand!"

Almighty Jesus GOD took all of mankind's sins upon Himself while on the Cross. He Loves us! He loves you! Romans 5:8, "GOD shows His Love for us in that while we were yet sinners, He died for us!"

During this time of global pandemic, those in Christ Jesus have no fear! We are not exempt from this virus, yet we are a witness for our LORD and Savior whether we contract it or not. For death only brings eternal life in glory with Him!  Our joy is in; II Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident and willing to be absent from the body (death) is to be present with the LORD (in glory with Him)"

Are the End Times Here?

2 Timothy 3:1, "Know that in the last days perilous times shall come."

John 16:33 tells us in this world there will be tribulation, but Jesus has overcome the world!

I Corinthians 10:13, "There is no temptation taken you such is common to man; but GOD is faithful Who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you can bear, but with it will also make a way of escape that you will be able to bear it." Take heart! Believe in the only way of salvation, Jesus Christ, and He will carry you through it or carry you to Himself!

Salvation is of our Awesome, Almighty Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD! Do not have fear of the things now happening, for Almighty GOD  knows! In Christ Jesus you have peace amidst the times of tribulation. Come to His salvation and know the peace of the Holy Spirit that enters you at your salvation in accepting Christ Jesus taking your penalty of sin upon the Cross. "All things work to the good for those who love the LORD!"   Romans 8:28

I claim in Jesus' Name II Chronicles 7:14, "If My people which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND!"

GOD Is My Refuge, In Him I Will Trust

Psalm 91, vs 3, "He will surely save me...from the deadly pestilence." vs 7, "A 1000 may fall at your side, 10,000 at your right hand, but it will not come near you." vs 8, "You will see the punishment of the wicked." vs 9-10, "Make the Most High (GOD) your dwelling, the LORD Who is your refuge, then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your dwelling." vs 11, "For He will command His angels to guard you in all your ways." vs 14, " 'Because he loves Me,' says the LORD, 'I will rescue him;  I will protect him for he acknowledges My Name.' " vs 15, "Call upon Me and I will be with you in trouble and deliver you and show you my salvation."

Psalm 91:4, "He will cover me with His wings and I will find refuge (in my Almighty GOD!)"

Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding."

Romans 8:28, "All things work for the good to those who love the LORD."

Trust Almighty Creator GOD in this time of the Coronavirus pestilence.
