THE FACTS OF LIFE

You are Blessed to Believe in Jesus
John 17:3 And this is LIFE ETERNAL , that they might know You THE ONLY, TRUE GOD and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 14:6 Jesus said: I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man comes unto the FATHER, but by ME.
John 3:16-18
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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
+The only way to know the ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD is through the Lord Jesus Christ.
+Please do not argue this Truth with anyone. It is the Holy Spirit Who Convicts hearts and Reveals Christ to the unbelievers.
+We preach the Gospel and Teach the Word and the Holy Spirit does the rest.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them He gave power (authority, privilege, right) to become the children of God, even to them that BELIEVE (adhere to, trust in and relied on) His name:
+The Name of Jesus cannot be compared to any other name. It is Above, More Powerful and More excellent than all other names.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other Name: for there is no other Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Rom 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
+Through the Name of Jesus we are blessed with, Salvation, Healing, Deliverance, Protection and a whole lot more.
+Hallowed is the Name of Jesus. Let’s continue to Reverence His Name, keep His Name Holy and warn with correction those who used His Name inappropriately (like take the of our Lord in vain). Blessed be the Name of our Lord Forever. Hallelujah!!!

REMEMBER

You are Blessed to Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
+After the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, Thomas one of the twelve Disciples didn’t believe that Jesus was risen form the dead.
John 20:29
Then Jesus told Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed (trust and have faith in Me); BLESSED are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
+The word BLESSED here means: Enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous with life joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions.
+When you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation you will understand that the word BLESSED also means:
+To be abundantly and unlimitedly supplied with all of life’s necessities from Earth to Heaven and from Heaven back to earth.
+To be abundantly and unlimitedly supplied with the inexhaustible riches of God in Christ Jesus.
+Now you know what it means when the Bible says that you are BLESSED, and when I say BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the Glory.
•If you know that you are BLESSED in The Almighty Name of Jesus Christ please respond with an “Amen!”

John 6:37-40 (Jesus said)
37 …and they that come to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 14:1-3 (Jesus sad)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: all of you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there all of you may be also.
Titus 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
•Stay ready for the coming of the Lord is near.
Luke 12:37
Blessed are those servants whom the Master, when He comes, will find watching…

The True Identity of God’s People
+Which RACE do we belong to?
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ…
+In Christ Jesus we new creatures, or you can also say we are A NEW CREATION, a people that was never before.
1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)
But WE are a CHOSEN RACE, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a (HOLY) DEDICATED NATION of People, [God’s] OWN PURCHASED, SPECIAL PEOPLE, that WE may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
+We are a Supernatural and Spiritual Race of People of God.
+And in the Spirit we are all Ageless, Sexless and Race-less, and yet we are ONE in Christ Jesus.
+Too many believers identify more with their ETHNICITY than they do with their CHRISTIANITY.
+Let us all identify with the New Creation we are in Christ Jesus and live accordingly.
•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!

TIME TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF

“Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they were too exhausted to weep [any longer]. Now David’s two wives had been captured, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. Further, David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all of them were embittered, each man for his sons and daughters. But David felt strengthened and encouraged in the Lord his God”. (1 Samuel 30:4‭-‬6 AMP).

“At my first trial no one supported me [as an advocate] or stood with me, but they all deserted me. May it not be counted against them [by God]. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened and empowered me, so that through me the [gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion. The Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and He will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen”.(2 Timothy 4:16‭-‬18 AMP).

You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
+Remember what it means to go through something. Going through means you are passing through, and since you are passing through do not stop. Keep marching forward like a soldier in the army of God and you will eventually come out of it, or it will pass you by.
+You cannot be defeated unless you allow it.
+Give the Lord all that He requires from you in Love and Faith in Him.
+The Lord’s Victory is your Victory.
•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!

THE ONLY WAY…

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”.(John 14:6 KJV).

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”.(Romans 5:1‭-‬8 KJV).

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;..(Romans 3:23 KJV).

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?”(Romans 10:9‭-‬16 KJV).

IT’S A WARNING

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord . They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord , and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord , and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord . Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord . I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord . Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord ; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord , that steal my words every one from his neighbour. BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THE PROPHETS, SAITH THE LORD , THAT USE THEIR TONGUES, and say, He saith. BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THEM THAT PROPHESY FALSE DREAMS, SAITH THE LORD , and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord . And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord ? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord . And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord , I will even punish that man and his house. Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken? And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken? But since ye say, The burden of the Lord ; therefore thus saith the Lord ; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord , and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord ; Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten”. (Jeremiah 23:16‭-‬40 KJV).

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry”.(2 Timothy 4:2‭-‬5 KJV).

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (/Romans 10:14‭-‬15 KJV).

“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you”. (Deuteronomy 4:1‭-‬2 KJV).

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”.[Revelation 22:16‭-‬19 KJV].

WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”.(Matthew 7:21‭-‬27 KJV).

“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches”. (Revelation 3:1‭-‬22 KJV).

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
{I Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10}

THE LORD WILL DELIVER

““Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
(Psalm 34:19, NKJV).

“And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible”.(Jeremiah 15:21 KJV).

“But the Lord stood by me and strengthened and empowered me, so that through me the [gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion. The Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and He will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever”. Amen. (2 Timothy 4:17‭-‬18 AMP).

God is a mighty Deliverer! Today, you may feel afflicted, overwhelmed or burdened by the cares of life. Know this: God is working to bring you out of that difficult situation. It may not be in the way you thought, but you have to trust that God has your best interest at heart.
Afflictions can take on many forms—a sickness or hardship, a temptation, a difficult coworker or contentious family member. There are so many things that can come against us. Remember, those afflictions are only temporary. Stand in faith today believing that God is on your side. It doesn’t matter what your circumstances look like, why don’t you get up every morning and say, “This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!” You may not feel like rejoicing in the moment, but if you’ll look out with your eyes of faith, you’ll see your Deliverer is coming. As you stand and trust the Lord, He will empower you to overcome all of those afflictions, and you’ll see His hand of blessing in every area of your life.

God Is The Healer & Restorer
Of Good Health🔥🔥🔥

God loves to heal His children. Psalm 107:20- “ He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Jesus took our infirmities and carried our sickness. And whatever things We desire when We pray to believe We receive them and We shall have them. Therefore, We receive your healing now, Lord, in every area of physical need of all sickness and diseases. We believe you are restoring us to good health and vitality. Your Scriptures declare that it is your will for your people to walk in good health. Jesus, healed everyone who came in faith, and the prayer of faith will save the sick and He will raise us up. Thank you for always healing us and enabling us to walk in good health.No matter what the doctor’s report say sickness and diseases can’t kill us. Never forget this Word from God. John 11: 26-“And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (KJV). In the Amplified Bible gives us more understanding of what God requires of us to do it says- John 11:26- And whoever continues to live and believes in ( has faith in, cleave to, and relies on ) Me shall never ( actually) die at all. Do you believe this? So we see to live and not die we all are required to do our part individually. We all must Believe In, Have Faith In, Cleave To, Rely On, Jesus Christ & God. Thank you for being The Great Physician and Giver of all Health. In the Name Of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth Absolutely Amen
WE MUST BELIEVE TO RECEIVE HEALING & LIVE IN GOD FULLY PERSUADED💯% 😇

Thank You for Your strength and peace in every area of my life in Jesus’ name I do pray and declare it all. Blessed are we and blessed we will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ be all the Glory.

GOD WANTS A RELATIONSHIP  

“Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people]”. (James 4:8 AMP).

Having A Working Relationship With God, IS
+The best relationship we could ever have with anyone is a relationship with God our Heavenly Father Through Jesus Christ His Son.
2 Corinthians 6:16
…for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Galatians 4:6
And because you are sons (children), God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son (Christ Jesus) into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Philippians 3:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
+God is in our hearts in the Person of the Holy Spirit.
+From within our hearts God Loves us, Comforts us, Strengthens us, Speaks to us, Leads, Guides and Protects us.
+Can we literally have communications (dialogues, conversations) with God? Yes!
+Have you ever spoken to God? Many of us have spoken to Him, but don’t know when or if He will ever speaks to us.
+Remember conversations with God is never a Monologue but a Dialogue.
+God Knows All Things (He is Omniscient), and based on Matthew 6:32 our Heavenly Father Know all the things we have need of even before we ask Him.
+With this having been said, in conversations with God always make it more important for us to hear from God than for God to hear what we have to say.
1 Corinthians 6:17
He that is join unto the Lord is one Spirit.
+God is in our hearts by His Holy Spirit. The number one way God communicates to us is by His Spirit in our hearts (our inner most being). We can call it a Heart to heart with God. For the most part we will not hear a Thundering Voice coming from heaven busting through the clouds.

“For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord , ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you. Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ says the Lord , ‘and I will restore your fortunes and I will [free you and] gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ says the Lord , ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’ {Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬14 AMP}

LISTEN
+God Speaks to us Heart to heart. Let’s pay close attention and listen for His Voice in our hearts. Amen!

+Have Continuous communications with God…
+Ways in which God Speaks to us.
+The Word of God is the BASIS by which God does ALL THINGS.
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
2 The same (the WORD) was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him (the WORD); and without Him (the WORD) was not any thing made that was made.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus Said:
…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
+God further Commanded and Instructed us to STUDY and KEEP His WORD.
+When we are limited in the knowledge of God’s WORD, we limit our communications with God.
+The more knowledgeable we are in the WORD of God the more abundant and effective our communications will be with Him.
+A steady intake of the WORD of God on a daily basis will boost our communication with God.
•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!

HE IS RISEN

“So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.” “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord”. (I Corinthians 15:54‭-‬58 NKJV).

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it”. (Acts 2:24 KJV).

“The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Servant and Son Jesus [doing Him this honor], the One whom you handed over and disowned and rejected before Pilate, when he had decided to release Him. But you disowned and denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for [the pardon of] a murderer to be granted to you. But you killed the Prince (Author, Originator, Source) of life, whom God raised [bodily] from the dead. To this [fact] we are witnesses [for we have seen the risen Christ]”. (Acts 3:13‭-‬15 AMP).

“And when they had finished carrying out everything that was written [in Scripture] about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb. But God raised Him from the dead; and for many days (forty) He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people. And we are bringing you the good news of the promise made to our fathers (ancestors), that God has completely fulfilled this promise to our children by raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son ; today I have begotten (fathered) You .’ And [as for the fact] that He raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay [in the grave], He has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David [those blessings and mercies that were promised to him].’ For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay .” [Acts 13:29‭-‬35 AMP].

FINALLY

“What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father, we too might walk habitually in newness of life [abandoning our old ways]. For if we have become one with Him [permanently united] in the likeness of His death, we will also certainly be [one with Him and share fully] in the likeness of His resurrection. We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live [together] with Him, because we know [the self-evident truth] that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin [ending its power and paying the sinner’s debt] once and for all; and the life that He lives, He lives to [glorify] God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts and passions. Do not go on offering members of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness. But offer yourselves to God [in a decisive act] as those alive [raised] from the dead [to a new life], and your members [all of your abilities—sanctified, set apart] as instruments of righteousness [yielded] to God. For sin will no longer be a master over you, since you are not under Law [as slaves], but under [unmerited] grace [as recipients of God’s favor and mercy]. What then [are we to conclude]? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under [God’s] grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)? But thank God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed. And having been set free from sin, you have become the slaves of righteousness [of conformity to God’s will and purpose]”. 《Romans 6:1‭-‬18 AMP》•

WAY MAKER

We follow directions on the internet,we follow street signsm What if we just allow Jesus to lead the way,to show the way,to pave the way,so that we could follow all the way.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”. (John 14:6 NKJV).

“Jesus said to him, “ I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me”. (John 14:6 AMP).

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd”. (John 10:1‭-‬5‭, ‬7‭-‬16 NKJV).

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. (Hebrews 10:19‭-‬23 NKJV).

“Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord , do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord , the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way. Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord — Your salvation according to Your word”. (Psalms 119:29‭-‬41 NKJV).

My🙏🏽Prayer…
Lord, I am weary and don’t know when this “race” will end in my life. I feel like I’ve been running forever, trying to outrun this trial. Help me to stop trying to outrun my pain but rather run with endurance the race you have set before me. I know that because of you I am ultimately a victor over the trials in my life. I know that nothing in this world can separate me from your steadfast love. Please give me a measure of your love today; give me the strength to endure this trial. Thank you for your love for me that never ends! And thank you for the crown of joy that awaits me forever in your Kingdom!
You are a miracle-working God. Give me a vision for what freedom looks like for me. Give me faith to believe You for my miracle. Show me what makes me tired. Show me what masters me and slows me down. Help me to lose my taste for that which weakens me, and acquire a taste for that which strengthens me. Heal me from the inside out! Help me to make the necessary changes. I want to participate with You in my healing process. Awaken fresh life in me! In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
