” But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.” (Isaiah 53:5 AMPC)

Another translation, says it this way :
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.”

But ,John 3:16-21 NKJV reveals this to us :
[16] For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. [17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. [18] “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. [21] But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

However , John 15:13 NKJV says this:
[13] Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

” For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”(2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV).

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Heavenly Father,
On this solemn day, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the pain and suffering He endured for our sins, may we be reminded of the depth of Your love and mercy.

Lord, help us to understand the significance of the cross and the redemption it brings. May we find solace in the knowledge that through His suffering, our brokenness is made whole, and our sins are forgiven.

As we remember the darkness of this day, illuminate our hearts with Your light. May we walk in gratitude and humility, striving to follow the example set by Jesus. Teach us to love others as He loved us, even in the face of adversity.

We pray for those who are suffering and in need of hope. May they feel Your presence and comfort during their difficult times. Let us be instruments of Your peace and love in the world, reflecting the grace we have received.

As we journey towards the joy of Easter, may we hold steadfast in faith and rejoice in the promise of resurrection. Thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son.

IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WE PRAY WITH THANKSGIVING. AMEN 🙌 👏 🙏.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

” There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”(Proverbs 14:12 NKJV).

The Power of Decisions
+All decisions are important.
+Every decision we make affects or impacts our lives in some way.
+When it comes to our personal lives some things should NOT BE, but yet THEY ARE.
+When it comes to our decision making who makes the decisions for us?
+Does God influences our decision making?
+Does the enemy (satan, that dumb devil) influences decisions for us?
+Or do we make all decisions?
Proverb 3:5-7
5 TRUST in the LORD with ALL YOUR HEART; and LEAN NOT INTO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
6 IN ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge him, and HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.
7 Be NOT WISE in YOUR OWN EYES…
+Make the decisions that will please God, and that is always the right decision.

+Remember In all our ways we acknowledged the Lord and He directs our paths.
+Yes! God directs, but we must make the decision to go in the directions He leads us.
+Some of us do not make the decision to go in God’s Directions, and when things go wrong we blame God.
+In Genesis 2:16-17, and in Chapter 3, Adam made the wrong decision, and disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
+Then Adam blamed God and the Eve for what he did.
+Remember this, every ungodly, unrighteous and wrong decision will eventually lead to the point of sin.
Romans 6:23
The wages of sin is death…
+Let us make decisions that promote Life, Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith for the Glory of God, and for our Total Well Being.

Proverbs 12:15 NKJV says  :
[15] The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

+Our decisions are influenced by our upbringing, our lifestyles, experiences and also by our personalities and character.
Proverb 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
+We are also being trained and brought up in the things of God by the Holy Spirit and with the Word of God.
Romans 8:14 KJVS
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
+We must always allow the Holy Spirit to influence our decision making. This is highly acceptable and pleasing to the Lord. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude : 24-25 NKJV]

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, Nor wearied you with incense.  You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.  “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.  Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted. ” [Isaiah  43 : 18-19,23-26 NKJV.

“Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,  that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:16-21 NKJV).

“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 3: 12-14 NKJV).

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. “[ Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

Hosea 4:6 NKJV
[6] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

IGNORANCE IS A LIABILITY THAT LIMITS OR CRIPPLE YOUR SUPERNATURAL GOD GIVEN ABILITY TO FUNCTION IN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

II Peter 1:2-11 NKJV
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [3] as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, [4] by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [5] But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, [6] to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, [7] to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. [8] For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. [10] Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; [11] for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

James 1:5-8 NKJV
[5] If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. [6] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. [7] For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; [8] he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

Psalms 34:6-10 NKJV
[6] This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. [7] The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. [8] Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! [9] Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. [10] The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Psalms 119:103 NKJV
[103] How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

The Word of God is our Spiritual Diet.
+But the Word of God is our Spiritual diet from Earth to Heaven and for all Eternity.
+Many of us are so excited about delicious tasting natural foods that we highly recommend restaurants and natural foods to one another.
+Well how about the highly recommended Word of God for Spiritual Foods???
In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said:
Man shall not live by BREAD (natural foods) alone, but by EVERY WORD (Spiritual Food) that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Also in John 14:23Jesus also said:
If anyone [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey and practice My teaching]…
+The more we live by the Word of God (our Spiritual Food) the more we will experience God in our personal lives.
+We will also get to know Him more by His Personality, His Character, His Word, the Holy Spirit and His Son. Amen!

Finally II Timothy 3:14-17 NKJV says :
[14] But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, [15] and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Joshua 1:7-9 NKJV
[7] Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. [8] This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. [9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Study God’s Word to be wise.
(Hebrews 5:12-14 AMP)
For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God’s Word. You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]!
But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.
•Ignorance to God’s Word is a liability and disadvantageous.
•The Word of God is the manual to live the life of God. As food is to your physical body so is the Word of God to your life, spirit, soul and mind.
•Make God’s Word your daily study.

Hosea 4:6 says :
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge…
Proverb 15:5
A fool despises (hates) his father’s instruction…
•God is our Heavenly Father, and the Bible His Holy Word is His instructions to us.
•When we DO NOT study God’s Word we are indirectly despising, hating and rejecting our Heavenly Father’s instructions.
•Studying the Word of God is not a suggestion or option. It’s a commandment that we obey out of love for the Lord.
Jesus said in John 14:15 If all of you love me, keep my commandments, and in Luke 6:46 He also said “why all of you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
•Continue to make God’s Word your daily study.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Living Troubled Free
2 Corinthians 4:8 KJV
We are troubled on every side…
+Without God in our lives we are in some form of trouble.
+Some of us know this, and others are just simply are ignorant of this fact.
+We need God to get out of troubles and stay out of troubles.
+We can always get ourselves in more troubles than we are able to get out of on our own.
+We need God’s WISDOM, STRENGTH and GUIDANCE to deal with troubles.
Psalm 34:17 (AMP)
When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears And rescues them from all their distresses and troubles.
1 Peter 5:7 AMP
casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
