HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?

HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?

Greetings Brothers and Sisters Grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and the Son and The Holy Spirit. I thank God for this wonderful opportunity to share with you regarding His word concerning rebirth. Lord, we thank you because you never made understanding a requirement to be saved, but you never forbid us from finding the truth so we can deeply appreciate what you have done for us, Father I pray that you open our hearts and mind  so that we may receive understanding, for those who know the salvation of the Lord let us receive encouragement to work in battle to save souls. For those who don’t know Jesus open the eyes of their understanding so that they may know the truth and seek the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, in Jesus name I pray Amen.

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”(John 3:4)

Nicodemus understood what Jesus said to be the physical birth to change one’s personality. Jesus explained to him that the laws governing the flesh and the spirit are different, they are not the same. Jesus told him that which is born of the flesh is flesh (John 3:6a). Nicodemus was astonished by Jesus answer and asked Him, how can a man be born when he is old. This question is one to take note of even though Nicodemus question made it obvious that he did not understand. However, his response should cause us to place focus on the on the elderly. Nicodemus was an aged man, deeply set in his religion, deeply set in his traditional ways. They have lived a certain way all their lives. They have believed what they believe and not believed all their lives. The sad problem is that few elderly people are born again this is tragic, thank God some are.   the concern is having to change their entire outlook on life.

Nicodemus ask another question concerning How the holy spirit could bring about the new birth.  How can these things be? Jesus reminded him that as an instructor of the old testament he should have known the spiritual truth He was expounding. Jesus then reminded of something he was familiar with in Israel’s history.

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten when he looks at it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole, and so it was if a serpent had bitten anyone when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. (Numbers 21:7,8).  The people of Israel was dying from the poison of snake bites after Moses interceded on their behalf and God sent an easy remedy to them, one that would heal their wounds and remove the calamity. through there looking at the serpent Moses erected on a pole according to God’s instructions And placing it in the center of the camp. The only thing required of the people is that when they are bitten to look at the serpent and they will live. Many of the people wouldn’t look to save their lives. This probably was an indication that they didn’t believe God.

Jesus showed Nicodemus how heavenly activity creates an opportunity for earthly activity. When the two come into contact with one another there is the way of life. Then Jesus brought Nicodemus face to face with the cross. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should £not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:14,15). This is the only way that old things can pass away and new life can become a reality. Just as by the mercy of God, He provided a way of healing to Israel so that they could receive healing and that their bodies could live. So by His grace provided the cross for all those who are dead in sin can possess eternal life and experience healing of the soul. All one has to do is look by faith to the crucified  One. Brothers and Sisters thank you for taking the time to read this message, I hope this message increased your understanding and encouraged your heart to reach the lost for Christ. If you don’t know Christ as it concerns the pardoning of your sin and you now believe contact me, allow me to help you, blog my post.   v

Thank you, Lord,]for this opportunity in Jesus name I pray Amen.

v   “Look to Me, and be saved,

    All you ends of the earth!

    For I am God, and there is no other (Isaiah 45:22).

God Bless You

JESUS IS THE Christ

Jesus Is The  Christ

Introduction

Greetings Brothers and Sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and His Son and the Holy Spirit.  If I had the opportunity to preach to all under heaven, Jesus would be my sermon. It is the message that makes the messenger, Amen !. Jesus is the message. Lord God help me at this time to share your word concerning the preeminence of Christ. Bless the hearts of all who read this message and for those who don’t know Jesus, open their hearts and the eyes of their understanding so that they may learn of Him who gave His life, thank you Lord in Jesus name I pray Amen.  Read more

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: ( Col 1:15,16).

Creator

Jesus is the visible representation of the invisible God. When we get dressed in the morning and we groom ourselves, we look in the mirror at our image. The image we see is a reflected image. This is not so with Jesus, He is not a reflected image. He is the image, Jesus told Phillip, Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know, He who has seen me has seen the Father. Jesus is the exact visible and physical representation of God. If you could see the Father He would look just like Jesus. He created all things, everything came into being through Him. Without Him, nothing exists that didn’t come into existence through Him. Everything in heaven and everything on earth and everything in the vast universe, everything visible and everything invisible. He caused everything to come into existence, Nothing caused Him to exist. He is the uncaused cause that caused all things to come into being. All things were created by Him for Him, Amen!

And He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist.

Christ Has always existed, there was never a time in eternity past that Christ did not exist. When there was nothing made in eternity past, visible or invisible there is Christ. Before He made anything He Is, I Am. He holds everything together by His great power. Look at the universe, it is by intelligent design. Everything in the universe works exactly the way God designed it. The milky way  Galaxy operates exactly and with precision the way God designed it. The earth is position exactly the right distance from the sun to sustain all life on earth. This is not by chance, Christ is almighty God, and He sustains all life on earth by the divine power of His might. Could you imagine what would happen If Christ wasn’t sustaining the orbit of the earth? I don’t want to think about it.

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence(Col 1:18).

In eternity past God decided that to save the human race He would send His Son, Born of a woman born under the law to redeem those who were sold by sin. Jesus the Son of God refused to use His power to save Himself. He remained obedient and took on the humiliation, and shameful death on the cross. God exerted great power and raised Him from the dead. Because of his selfless act of love for all humanity, God exalted Him Jesus the God-man, above all creation, the firstborn from among the dead. And gave Him a name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow that which is in heaven, that which is on earth and that which is under the earth. Jesus is preeminent, the first person to be raised from the dead, unto eternal life to never die again. He is the Head of the Church which is His body. He is the Head of the New world order. Until Christ comes back we all must enter into eternity the same way.

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, ( Col 1:19).  

It pleased God that all of the divine nature the majesty, power, and the goodness of God should be manifested in the man-God Christ Jesus, Amen.  and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross(Col 1:20). Through Jesus God provided a way to reconcile the relationship between God and man. A relationship that was in a state of enmity, a relationship that was in full rebellion against God. Through the blood of Christ God provided a way for humanity to be at peace with God. God could have destroyed us all and yet because He loves us so much he sent His Son to save us.

21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight( Col 1:21,22).

We were all alienated from God, we were all enemies of God. We didn’t think anything of God, we didn’t respect God, we didn’t love God, we didn’t know God. In our minds, we only had evil thoughts and works continually all the time. But God has reconciled us in the body of His Sons’, flesh through His death, to present you and me holy, and blameless, In His sight. When God sees us, it is not us that He see, It is Christ. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, God forgives us when we place our trust in Him. Do you trust Jesus? It is only by faith in Christ that you can receive Gods’ forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. All you have to do is believe in Jesus and the work that He has done.  God bless you, friends.

Critical Condition

Critical Condition

January 4, 2018

 

Brothers and sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and Jesus Christ His Son and The Holy Spirit. I thank God for you, because it just isn’t easy to stand up in the world as a Christian. I am also proud that I am identified with you. You are a inspiration to me as I hope to be one to you. My friends sometime we have to reflect on where we are and how we got here. There is a statement that is used quite often in this world and yet it rings with truth. Never forget where you came from. My friends before God saved us we were in critical condition, hopeless, alienated from the commonwealth, and without a God in this world to help us, who we can worship, a God we can cry out to in our trouble and sorrow.

Lord guide my thoughts as I share with my brothers and sister concerning the condition you saved us out of. Lord bless all who read, by encouraging them to take your word to those who remain in critical condition, so that they can know The only cure Jesus Christ. Thank you in Jesus name Amen.

A few months ago I became ill, from working in the heat. The temperature was very hot and I ignored the reality of the situation and continued working in the heat without maintaining the proper hydration to the needs of my body. As a result of that act of ignorance a series of  consequences happened that were not good. First I became dehydrated, my blood pressure drop really low, and then my kidneys start shutting down, my heart was beating 35 times a minute and my condition became critical. I was admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital, where I received around the clock care.

Godlessness is ignorance ( Rom 1:18-20)

The same way we as human beings close our eyes to the evidence that God set before us. We ignore the evidence, sort of a self induced blindness.  God has made his truth plain to us and has made Himself evident. ignorance as a excuse will not be accepted as a defense. Ignorance is how sin starts, ignoring reality, God! what God?

Godlessness is Misdirected worship (Rom 1:21-23)

We get so carried away with the world that we fail to glorify God for what He has done. For the provisions that He has supplied us with, The food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the Sun that supply light, and the shelter from the elements. We give thanks and worship to things that were  created by God, instead of giving our thanks and worship to the one it really belongs. We worship our kids, our homes, our cars, our wives, our husbands, our animals, our jobs, everyone and everything except God, some even worship themselves.

Godlessness is sexual disobedience, and perversion (Rom 1:24-27).

God concerned about our sexuality. and has a plan for it.  The bible has always stated that sex is between a husband and a wife. Sexuality is between a married couple. Sex outside marriage is sin. Sex with animals is sin, sex with same sex, that is men with men or women with women is an abomination before God. God has a special punishment for homosexuality, designed to help the person become restored to their born sexuality. God does not ask us who are strait to punish or hate those who are homosexual. God is fully capable of curing a person like this, only He can. We are commanded to love one another,

Godlessness is practicing or ignoring a variety of God Hating, self defeating activities and attitudes (Rom 1 :28-2:2).

This wickedness knows no bounds and will do anything to attract others who like this type of behavior to join them in their destination to hell. These are some of the most vile people you can ever meet. they are an abomination to God. They are enemies of the Church. However God makes it difficult for them to Come to Him, every time they reject Christ the more difficult for them to receive Him. Yet out of this difficulty God brings them to Jesus.  Glory be to God. You don’t have to remain in critical condition God has supplied you with the cure, but He won’t make you take it. You must believe in His Son Jesus by your own free will. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that who ever believe in Him will not perish but shall have ever lasting life (John 3:16). Do You Believe ? You Must believe. Let Me Know.

God bless you! Thank You Lord. If this short message has helped you let me know. Blog my post.

Greetings brothers and sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father His Son and the Holy Spirit. God has blessed us with another wonderful day. Rejoice because He has given us more wonderful days to come, forever and ever, Amen. Thank you Lord, You are so Good, even a blind man can see that. Lord God thank you for inviting us to banquet, that is a day I look forward to attending. Lord thank you for this opportunity to speak to your people and even those that you are drawing close to the cross,. Lord direct my thought so that I will only convey your truth, in Jesus name Amen.

Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Brothers and sisters be of good cheer. You have been invited to the wedding banquet of the King. Being invited is really a big deal, especially coming from the King. You were not only invited more importantly you accepted the invitation.  Jesus spoke on the matter and said” The Kingdom of heaven is like a certain King who arranged a marriage for His Son. “and he sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. again, he sent out other servants, saying  “tell those who are invited, “See I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fat  cattle are killed and all things are ready. come to the wedding .” (Matt 22:2-4).

Repentance

“Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation …” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Conviction of sin is best described in the words:

My sins, my sins, my Savior,

How sad on Thee they fall.

Conviction of sin is one of the most uncommon things that ever happens to a person. It is the beginning of an understanding of God. Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit came He would convict people of sin (see John 16:8). And when the Holy Spirit stirs a person’s conscience and brings him into the presence of God, it is not that person’s relationship with others that bothers him but his relationship with God—“Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight …” (Psalm 51:4). The wonders of conviction of sin, forgiveness, and holiness are so interwoven that it is only the forgiven person who is truly holy. He proves he is forgiven by being the opposite of what he was previously, by the grace of God. Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes—a reflex action caused by self-disgust.

The entrance into the kingdom of God is through the sharp, sudden pains of repentance colliding with man’s respectable “goodness.” Then the Holy Spirit, who produces these struggles, begins the formation of the Son of God in the person’s life (see Galatians 4:19). This new life will reveal itself in conscious repentance followed by unconscious holiness, never the other way around. The foundation of Christianity is repentance. Strictly speaking, a person cannot repent when he chooses—repentance is a gift of God. The old Puritans used to pray for “the gift of tears.” If you ever cease to understand the value of repentance, you allow yourself to remain in sin. Examine yourself to see if you have forgotten how to be truly repentant.
