ENCOURAGER

When you are going through a crisis, you don’t want people around who will discourage you or make you feel worse; like Job’s wife, for example, who advised him to curse God and die. That’s why you can’t tell everyone or anyone your business because you don’t want anyone who will add fuel to your fire or salt to your wound to make it worse. You want people who, no matter how bad it looks, will turn your eyes, focus and attention from your situation and circumstance to God. David puts it this way, I will lift up my eyes to the hills — from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2).

Sometimes, like David, when people turn their backs on you, you have to encourage yourself in the Lord. But how are you going to encourage yourself in the Lord, if you don’t know God’s word? Jesus encouraged Himself when He was tempted by the devil. He told the devil, “it is written,” in other words Jesus says I would rather be obedient to God than sacrifice His grace, mercy, favor, blessings, and good and perfect gifts. Because what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? (Luke 9:25). When you hide God’s word in your heart and meditate on it day and night then you will know how to encourage yourself in the Lord. Remember,  if you are walking in righteousness then you have the power Jesus gave you to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing by any means can hurt you (Luke 10:19). So there is no reason to get discouraged or give up, it is just a weapon formed that can’t prosper, harm or hurt you, unless you allow it to.

Acts 11:24 describes the type of person Barnabas was. People like Barnabas are the type of people you want around you when you are going through tough times; People who are good, full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith. The people in Antioch of Syria were in turmoil and shock over Stephens death, plus they were sought to be persecuted, so Barnabas was sent to rekindle hope, faith and trust in God (read Acts chapter 11).

People of God don’t see the problems, trials or tribulations, they see and look for God’s favor, blessings and mercies. Barnabas saw the grace of God, he noticed the disappointments but saw the good because the people loved God and that encouraged him to encourage them.

We as Christians always face trials and tribulations that most of us call night seasons, because it is during the night the stress of the trial becomes worse. We are under heavy attack at night because sometimes the devil will not allow us to sleep, it is at this time he does his dirtiest deeds. The reason joy comes in the morning is because it exposes and brings light to everything. One of the best scriptures to read that encourages us is, Deuteronomy 28:1-9
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.

Encourage yourself in the Lord by singing Him praise and worshiping Him!  Have you allowed Jesus in your heart and your life? If not go to the Salvation page, and follow the instructions given.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

CALL JESUS

No matter what the he problem is you can call on Jesus,as a matter of fact,He told us to give them all to Him. DID YOU ? I Peter 5:6-7 says,
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you”. Nobody can help you,like God can. Nobody can solve it quicker than God. King David in Psalms 57:2-3 says,
I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth. Therefore,if you are calling me to tell me how bad your day is, please hang up you have got the wrong number and the wrong person,call Jesus,He is just a prayer away. However, if you are calling to celebrate God’s grace and mercies by all means lets talk till’ the sun goes down. If you are calling to gossip and back-bite then, please hang up and call 1 800-devil. If you are looking for someone to talk to about all the troubles you see, then try Jesus, He is a good listener, but you better be a good hearer and doer of His word because He never fails anyone.
Psalms 56:9-13 states,
When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. In God (I will praise His word), In the Lord (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
Don’t call me to tell me your problems, unless you are calling me to pray for you or with you; because I can’t help you but God can, and my prayers will get to Him, because His Word says, “The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man availed much”, and my  duty is to pray for you ( James 5:16). Why am I so confident, you may ask, it’s because the joy of the Lord is my strength, and He is joyful because I am living according to His standards. I am walking in righteousness, I am putting all my trust and hope in Him, and since I started doing that He has never failed me. No, I am not bragging. I am praising Him, and giving Him all the glory, honor, and thanks.

Don’t call me to complain and murmur, you got the wrong number. Call the devil who you serve so he can add more sorrows to it. As for me add my house we will serve the Lord, we will praise the Lord, we will thank the Lord, we will look to the hills from whence cometh our help, it comes from the Lord who makes the heavens and the earth, and everything and everyone in it. And  he will not suffer my foot to be moved, and He never slumbers nor sleeps. It’s all in His promises in the Bible (Psalms 121:1-8). The Bible is my contract with God, as long as I read and abide by its rules and regulations, He is happy and so am I.

So don’t call me to talk about the devil and his problems, call me to celebrate the goodness of Jesus and all He has done for us. If He didn’t do anything for you, then you are not God’s child, you don’t know Him, and you are serving the wrong god. But don’t panic that can all change today. Right now, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you ever did. Now this does not mean it will get easy, you have the fight for your life on your hands, because the devil is mad, but God is able to keep you, and He promised never to leave or forsake you, all you have to do is follow Him.

It’s very important that you find a Bible believing church, who believes that God sent Jesus to save us (John 3:16-17) and that he raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9-13)and Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6) these things are very important because everyone does believe these things and you don’t want to end up in hell following the wrong leader. May God give you the spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as you grow in His grace, righteousness, and purity in Jesus name.
Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and for ever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

THE ONLY WAY

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Serving God is like going down a busy one way street. There is no turning back or short cut down a side street, no back alleys or detours,any other way is a travesty to life and sustenance . If you do turn back it will be disastrous,devastating, major aches and pains  and if you’re really unlucky, sometimes death. Matthew 7:14 states,
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Luke 9:62 clearly states this by saying; ‘No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God. To simplify this passage it means that if you turn back that action renders you unfit. If you taste and see that the Lord is good(Psalms 34:8) ,then what reason would you have to turn back unless you yourself did not taste the sweetness of his word as described in Psalms 119:103. Have you not benefited from His promises? Let me tell you a secret people, if you are reading this then you have already benefited from Him. How you might be wondering ? God woke up ,to experienced a new day,and give you another chance at eternal life.

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,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 or evil desires (2 Peter 1: 3-4). Now I ask again, why would you want to go back to that?

In Philippians 3:13-14 I love when Paul says,’….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’. Turning back my friends is denying Jesus and He explains to us in Matthew 10:33 by saying this,

‘But whosoever shall deny me before men, him I will also deny before my Father,who is in Heaven.

How shall anyone escape if they neglect great salvation? If you are interested in returning or accepting Gods precious gift of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions. Trust me when Itell you that in these last days it will be the best thing you have ever done. All thanks go to God who uses me as His servant to get His message out to His children.

NOTHING WITHOUT GOD

Who are you without the Lord? and what can you do without the Lord? Every breath that you breathe,every step that you take,every move that you make,God orchestrate it. As a matter of fact,”It is because of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed,because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness” ,according to Lamentations 3:22~23. Then 1Corinthians 10:12 says,” Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall”. However,Galatians 6:3 says,”For if anyone thinks himself to be something,when he is nothing,he deceives himself”. Jesus said,”I am the vine,ye are the branches; he that abideth in me,and I in him,the same bringeth forth much fruit;for without me ye can do nothing”{John 15:5}.
Hag 1:7 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Deut 30:20 That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him, for he is your life, and the length of your days…
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being…,which means you are absolutely and completely nothing without God. So to stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to Life everlasting you need Jesus,who is the only way as He said in John 14:6. So stop delaying and procrastinating,and go to the top of this blog,then click on to the salvation page and get started,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead,and direct you for the rest of your life. Remember also that Holiness and Righteousness is a requirement of the Holy Spirit,therefore,as Romans 12:1~2 suggests,”I beseech you therefore, brethren,by the mercies of God, that you present your body a living sacrifice,holy,acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service….”. The key thing to remember is that Romans 8:38~39 tells us that,nothing shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

THE ONLY CURE

The only antibiotic for sickness,and diseases,which originated because of sin,is the blood of Jesus. The only drugs that makes you happy is the word of God. The medicine for evil is good,and for hate is love. The cure for sadness is joy,and above all the cure for the flesh,is to walk in the Spirit,therefore,Christian’s should always display the fruit of the Spirit,as Galatians 5:22-25 says,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
However,if you don’t take the medicine how will you,be healed,delivered and set free from the curse of sickness and diseases. “But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities,the chastisement of our peace was upon Him,and with His stripes we are healed”[Isaiah 53:5]. Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree,that we,being dead to sins,should live unto righteousness ,by whose stripes ye were healed.(1Peter 2:24). Believe God for your healing,and thank Him,by saying Psalms 103:2-4 “Bless the Lord,o my soul, and forget not all His benefits,who forgiveth all thine iniquities ,who healeth all thy diseases,who redeemeth thy life from destruction,who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies”. God didn’t intend for us to be destitute and sick,in 3 John 2 He says,”Beloved,I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prospereth”. God wants you to know,that,”If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God,and will do that which is right in His sight ,and will give ear to His commandments ,and keep all His statutes,I will put none of these diseases upon thee,which I have brought upon the Egyptians,for I am the Lord that healeth thee “.[Exodus 15:26]. “IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD”. If you are interested in having a personal relationship with God ,just go to the salvation page,and follow the instructions.

IN HIS PRESENCE

Acts 3:19 says,
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
Only in His presence will you find strength, hope, love, joy, peace, happiness, and whatever it is you are looking for. You will never find complete satisfaction, happiness, love or joy in someone elses arms, especially if the love of God is not in them. If you can’t love the God who created you, wakes you up, and lends you breath for the day, how are you going to love another person, and make someone else happy. Therefore, King David was right when he said in His presence is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore, how can you ever refute David’s statement, when he has experienced the agonies of defeat and the thrills of victory in God’s presence; and I am sure there are a few people like myself who can attest to that fact.

Allow me to give you one of David’s testimony, that I touched on earlier, located  in Psalms 16:9-11 which reads, “Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh will rest in hope, for you will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption, you will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; at His right hand are pleasures forevermore.” This means that the only one who can truly give you lifelong pleasures, joy, peace, love and everything else you need is God. Do you know Him or even have a relationship with Him to get His everlasting pleasures, and gifts?

Moses knew what it was like to be in God’s presence, so he told God that, if His presence does not go with him, then don’t bring them out of where they were. Let’s read a portion of Moses’ conversation with God in Exodus 33:13-15, “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in your sight show me now your way, that I may know you, and that I may find grace in thy sight, and consider that this nation is your people; And  He said,”My presence go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he (Moses) said to Him (God),”If your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.” This confirms that being in the presence of God is far better than being out of it, that’s why in Psalm 51:11, David said, “Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.”

Why would anyone want to be out of His presence is just ludicrous, because in it is fulness of joy, but, “Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ; These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power, when He comes in that day, to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.” – 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 Where would you rather be? In or out of His presence.

Do you want to be in God’s presence? Then you have to accept His personal special gift of His only begotten Son (Jesus), because He is the way the truth and the life, and no one goes to God without going through Him (John 14:6). If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness – 1 John 1 :9 So if you are serious and willing to be in His presence continually, just go to the top of this blog, then click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, then find a faith filled Bible believing church, where you can be fed with the infallible Word of God.

“Therefore we also pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power, that the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” – 2 Thessalonians 1:11

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy, that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

INVESTING TIME WISELY

Time is an investment,that most people ignore or considers irrelevant. However,whatever captivates your interest ,you invest time in,for instance to get a degree you spend time in school and the books. To get pay check you spend time in a Job. But why is it people don’t spend time with God in prayers,and the word to reap His benefits and rewards. Is who or what you are spending most of your time with or on worth it? Are they worthy to occupy so much of your time? One hour out of twenty-four hours is not enough time invested in God to keep the devil away. Come on folks do the math, if you only give God one hour per day, then the devil has you for twenty-three hours to run havoc in your life, to drive you crazy, to tempt you with the lust of this world, and make you feel like God has abandoned you, when it’s you who have deserted Him until you want something.

If you spend more time on the internet, watching television, reading magazines, and talking on the phone, how much time does God get?  If we don’t spend time with our heavenly Father, if we don’t read His word, if we don’t communicate with Him, if we don’t listen to Him, if we don’t acknowledge Him in everything that we do how do we expect Him to give us our hearts desires and answer our prayers. It is only when we submit to God and resist the devil that he will flee from us (James 4:7). How will you know the way to God, when you don’t know or spend time with Jesus, His son(John 14:1-6).

Who you invest your time in, they will invest in you, James 4:8 tells us to, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to us.” Then verse ten reminds us that it’s only when we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, only then will He lift us up. Ephesians 5:15-16 tells us, “To walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Jesus tells us in John 15:4, to abide in Him and He will abide in us. So tell me this how are you going to do the things Jesus did, like heal the sick and cast out demons if you don’t invest time with Him, and as He said abide with Him.

Who or what you love always takes up most of your time, your energy, and your thoughts. God’s love is on display everywhere you go, every time you open your eyes, every time you take a breath, every time you eat. Yes He is omnipresent, but how close is He to you? Is He living in your heart? Are you meditating on Him daily, hourly, every minute or second, or only when you need His help? Please don’t allow Him to tell you depart from me I never knew you. Give Him your life today, give Him your all ,give Him your time, is that too hard to do?

God invested the time to send His only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us and bridge the gap that the devil opened through Adam and Eve. Jesus invested His time by showing and teaching us the way to God. He went as far as dying for us, so the least you can do is invest some time into knowing Him. Why not start today? Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. Trust me it will be worth your time. More time with God increases your favor, grace, mercies, and blessings, try it.

All praises, glory, honor, and thanks go to God for using me to minister to His people. I pray that He will give all who read this spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to receive it. I bind the foul spirit of blindness, deafness, and concrete hearts, and ask the Loed to release the Holy Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind to open their eyes, unclog their ears, and soften their hearts, so they will receive what the Spirit of God has for them, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Most people are so religious, yet they don’t have a up-close and personal relationship with God. They go through the motions and cling to denominations and rituals yet their hearts are far from God. Jesus said it best in Matthew 15:7-9,

“Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, (Isaiah 29:13) saying, these people draweth near unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; and in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

Jesus did not stutter or bite His tongue when He said in Matthew 7:21-23 that,

“Not everyone that saith unto Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father, who 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 demons? 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.'”

That simply means you never had an up-close and personal relationship with Him.

When you know God up-close and personal, you will know His likes and dislikes, you know His commandments and you obey them; His word becomes a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path, you meditate on His word day and night; you will bless Him at all times, and His praises will continually be in your mouth, you will go to bed with Him on your mind, and wake up with Him still on your mind. When you have an up-close and personal relationship with God you will trust Him, have faith in Him, seek Him first, and acknowledge Him in all your ways. You will have no doubts nor fears, because you know He can do exceedingly and abundantly above all that you ask or think. Has He done any extraordinary things for you? The closer you are to God, the further the devil stays away from you, as James 4:7-8, reminds us.

When you are a child of God, the devil has no control, rights or jurisdiction, over you; he is restricted and limited; Because Jesus paid the price on the cross with His blood, and as Romans 8:1 tells us,

“There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Which means to be up close and personal with God you must present your bodies as a living sacrifice that is Holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service as Romans 12:1-2 tells us. Must I remind you that after you heard the word of God, trusted and believed it, you are then sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise {Ephesians 1:13}, and that seal symbolizes a finished transaction, ownership, and security through and in Christ Jesus.

Go to the Salvation Prayer page above to read more about how you can accept Christ into your heart and into your life.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people.

ARE YOU A CHURCH GOER,OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER

The truth is ,you don’t go to church because you don’t love God,you don’t have a personal relationship with Him,so you refuse to worship Him. Your excuses will get you in hell quicker than you can blink. That’s the reason why they like to label church folks hypocrites, yet failing to realize that they are the biggest hypocrites in existence. I wish they would speak the truth,they don’t love God,don’t believe, and have no intentions of giving Him there all. Because, the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not,lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,should shine unto them as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Genuine christians go to church,and worship God in spirit and truth,because they believe, and is obedient to the word of God,which tells us in Hebrews 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,as the manner of some is,but exhorting one another,and so much the more,as he see the day approaching”. However,If you are looking for a miracle or a fast response to your prayers, church is the place to be,because,Jesus said in Matthew 18:19-20″Again I say unto you that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask,it shall be done for them by my Father,who is in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name,there am I in the midst of them”. Then James 5:16 reminds us to,”Confess your faults one to another,and pray one for another,that he may be healed, The effectual,fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much”. Which means you will find at least one righteous person in church, because they are obedient to God.

(Matthew 15:7-9) Tells us of the other kind,’This people draweth near unto me with their mouth, and honereth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’

If you went to church, and did not receive or get anything out of it, then I must tell you the truth, (1)you went to the wrong place or (2) the meal (sermon) was not prepared and blessed by God or (3)you were not hungry, and your heart and mind was in the wrong place. Are you interested in knowing and having a relationship with God ,then get started by going to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead,guide,and direct you for the rest of your life.GLORY TO GOD.

 So don’t go blaming God or the preacher if you are there for show and tell,  entertainment, or shopping for a spouse, lets keep it real now.

GODLY THOUGHTS/ PERFECT PEACE

If we rejoice in the Lord always and turn all our issues over to God thankfully as Philippians 4:4-8 tells us we would subtract all the negative things from our lives, then we will be stressless, worry-free and less depressed. As a matter of fact, if we trust God and His word, obey them and apply them to our daily living we will not be in half the problems we find ourselves in. Even though we change and seasons change, God remains the same. The Lord wants us as believers to portray Jesus’ love, kindness and gentleness because He is coming back.

God does not want His children to be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Him, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The only person that can give us peace of mind, body, soul and spirit is God. And the only way to get it, as Job 22:21 tells us, is to acquaint ourselves with Him in order to be at peace. Then Psalm 29:11 says that the Lord will bless His people with peace, which means if you are not at peace, you are simply not His. Then Isaiah 26:3 tells us that, “He will keep us in perfect peace…” all we have to do to get it is keep our mind on Him. David says in Psalm 119:97, God’s law is his meditation. Meditation on God’s word is medication for peace. (Psalm 1:2; 19:14; 77:12; 107:43; 119:97)

Then in verse 8 of Philippians 4, God tells us what He wants us to meditate on: truthful things, noble, just, pure, lovely, things of good report, and praiseworthy things that are excellent. Then you will be at peace. These are the things God wants us to practice so His peace can be with us.

God’s peace can flow to and through every heart and mind. But, if you don’t receive Him through Christ Jesus and if you don’t believe in God or His beloved Son, then how can you expect to live with God’s peace? The Salvation Prayer page above shares some steps of how you can lead someone to Christ. There is also a salvation prayer in which you can pray to receive Christ.

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. (2 Thessalonians 3:16)

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word.
