Jesus Is Our Only Hope

Everything around you will not last forever. Don't wait until it is to late to find this truth out. One day we all will know this truth if we are saved or lost. That Jesus was and is our only hope. In Romans 14:11 says, For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

When Jesus walked this earth some people despised him and others loved him and received him as their Saviour and Lord. It is the same today. Anything that fills our mind more then Jesus, is our god.

Through out history and even today. Jesus is the most loved and hated man on earth. Life and death all rest in Jesus. And for those who are Born Again and have been Saved by receiving Jesus as their Saviour and Lord, needs to be witnessing and bringing lost souls into the Kingdom of God.

So many Christians are to relaxed in their comfort zone and they very seldom mention Jesus to anyone because they are afraid that someone might get upset with them. But yet they claim to be born again believers.

Let the Holy Spirit convict you and show you what your god is. And you will be shocked if you are truly Born Again. Because what ever fills your mind the most is your god. What ever occupies your mind the most is your god... Once you realize what it is that you think about the most, then you have just met your god...

If you are the most wicked person on earth. If there is any good in you at all. It comes from the God you hate. For the Bible says in, Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. And in Ephesians 2:4 says, But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. We realise in these two verses that God is good and God is love. So goodness and love comes from Him. I'm only sharing this with you because it is true...

Our actions in our daily lives shows how much God means to us. Our daily actions do not lie.

Jesus promised us as Christians two things. (1.) He would never leave us. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. And (2.) He will give us Eternal Life. John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Everything That You Are Looking For Can Be Found In Jesus

Some people have so many idols in their lives that Jesus is not even noticed in their lives. And yet they claim to be Christians.

And some people treat Jesus as they do their Doctor. They only go to Him when they are sick or when they want something. Oh how sad this is... Jesus waits for us with so much patience. He longs just to talk to us through His word the Bible and through prayers. But we are so busy we don't have the time for Him. But we forget, that it is because of Him that we can take our next breath. We take Him for granted.

We need to repent of our sins daily and let Him guide us daily. We must proclaim the Gospel to the world and win souls for Jesus. Either by sharing Jesus with everyone we can or by supporting missions or ministries for the Glory of God. We need to be doing something to bring lost souls into the Kingdom of God.

There is no middle ground. I have a question to ask you? What are you doing for the Kingdom of God???

Your heart is healthy and is beating because of Jesus showing you His mercy. Should you not do something for Him??? Jesus Loves You. He shows you a beautiful sunset. He gives you free air to breath daily. He gives you water and food. He clothes you. All just because He loves you. I don't understand how anyone can take these things for granted and not stop to thank Him for being so kind and loving toward us.

When God Calls You

When God gives you a vision to reach souls for Him. You must keep a laser focus on that vision and let nothing side track you from the calling that God has given you to do for the Kingdom of God. And God will help you and use you to bring that vision to pass.

You have to realize that God has done everything He is going to do about the devil. Now it is up to us to take back everything the devil has taken from us in Jesus Name.

God does not meet us in our fear. He meets us in our faith. So step out in faith and God will be there helping you.

Your personal relationship with Jesus is based on what he has done for you. We are not to look to others as your role models. But look to Jesus and what He has done for you. That is what Jesus wants us to do. Keep our eyes on Him.

If we delight in each other, our family and friends. How much more does God delight in us?

In John 1:12 it says, But as many as (received) him Jesus, to them gave he power to (become) the sons of God, even to them that (believe) on his name.

What this verse is saying, How we become a child of God. 1. (Believe) that Jesus is the son of God. 2. (Receive) Jesus as our Saviour and Lord. 3. (Become) by believing and receiving Jesus as our Saviour and Lord we become a child of God and we are Saved. That is how simple it is to become a child of God and get Saved.

Did you know that it takes more faith to not believe in God. Then it does to believe in Him as your saviour and Lord.

There is power in the name of Jesus. When things around you start to get tough and seems to be falling apart just start saying Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And watch with amazement how things start to change for the good around you.

I have been called by the Lord to share Jesus Christ by way of the Internet and I have a burden for souls. I have a language translator on my blog site were anyone can read it in their own language. That is so powerful to me and I thank God for it. And my prayer is that people world wide will come to know Jesus and receive Him as their Saviour and Lord. That is my calling from the Lord and that is what He wants me to do for Him. And I am laser focused on this mission for Jesus.

We as Christians need to win souls for Jesus. Time is short. We don't have much time left. So, please share Jesus with someone today.

Your outreach for Jesus to reach lost souls will come from your heart. And what comes from the heart will reach the hearts of many people.

Just start sharing Jesus from were you are right now and your outreach will grow beyond your wildest dreams.

You can take something that God has blessed you with and use it to bring souls into the Kingdom of God. Example: God has blessed me with a nice computer so I use it to reach souls for Christ world wide. And you can do the same.

God used me back in 1984 build a 12 foot by 6 foot cross and carry it over 375 miles sharing the love of Jesus with everyone I met along the way. And I also carried gospel tracks and handed them out also. Wow, what an awesome journey that was. I will never ever forget it the rest of my life. I was truly blessed by God to have been chosen to go on that journey. A mission of love. Thank you Jesus.

At that time I was also writing to prisoners. And they would share with me how my letter was the first letter that they have received since they have been in prison. They would tell me that their family has nothing to do with them now because they are in prison. I would get tears in my eyes and my heart would break as I would read their letters. We would have a great fellowship through the letters that we would mail back and forth to each other.

And to let you know. I never ran out of stamps and envelopes because God always provided enough so I could continue my prison outreach that He called me to do for the Glory of God. Thanks be to God.

Anyone of us can begin were we are and become a witness for Jesus. We can begin by sharing Jesus with our children and grand children. Or with our neighbors and friends. Just start were you are and it will grow from the first step that you take by faith. And Jesus will give you the words to say. Just trust in Him to guide you and he will. And he will make it come to pass.

Most people will say I am not ready yet to witness for Jesus. But, the real question is this. Are you willing to go and witness for Him? Remember, Jesus will give you the words to say at the right time when needed. And He will teach you as you go. Just be willing to go. He will open new doors for you as you obey the call and go and share His message of hope and love and forgiveness.

Anyone in the world were they are at right this moment, can call upon the name of Jesus and He will save them and come into their hearts and live His life through them.

Jesus loves you and has great things for you, all you have to do is receive Him as your Saviour and Lord, of your life. And He will save you from your sins and forgive you.

Grace vs The 10 Comandments ( The Law )

What you are about to learn by reading this article will stun you and inspire you all at the same time.

Text for this article today is from John 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

Reading this verse we learn that The law was given. But Grace came to us which means a live personal gift.

Under the Law of the 10 Commandments, God demands Righteousness. Under Grace, The New Commandment, God gave us Righteousness as a gift. So, Grace is the Gospel. Gospel means good news.

Under the law the soul that sins will die. But, under grace because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Even though we sin, because we fall into sin sometimes, no more death for us. We ask God to forgive us for our sins and we are forgiven.

Under the law water was turned into blood resulting in death. Under Grace water was turned into wine. Resulting in life and celebration.

When God gave the law (10 Commandments) at Mount Sinai on Pentecost 3000 people died. When God gave the Spirit on Pentecost 3000 people was saved. Which proves that the law kills and the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor. 3:5-7.

It is time for us as Christians to realize that we are not living under the law (10 Commandments). If we are saved and received Jesus as our Saviour and Lord we are living under Grace.

The law of the (10 Commandments) is a ministry of death. 2 Cor. 3:5-7 we are under the New covenent of Grace. Grace Is a ministry of Life.. In John 3:16 it says, "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." We as Christians live under Grace. Read Rom. 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

The law teaches works of man. Like you shall not do this or that. When God gave the Spirit on Mount Zion. It teaches the wonderful works of God and not by our works.

Under the law mans works are magnified. Under the Grace Gods works are magnified. That is why we should not be preaching that we as Christians are under the law the
(10 Commandments).

If churches are focused on teaching only the 10 Commandments as the Gospel, then they are preaching the ministry of death. When they should be teaching what Jesus taught the Gospel the ministry of life. The Pharisees was totally and always corrected by Jesus all the time. Because they only taught the message of death the 10 commandments the law.

Through the death and Resurrection of Jesus, Jesus over paid off the debt what we owed.

Example:

Say you owe someone 1000 dollars. And you are worried sick over the debt you owe. And you know if you do not pay the debt you will lose every thing. OK, now someone comes along and realizes the crisis you are in.

So, that person deposits in your bank account 1 Billion dollars. What that person just did for you was pay off your 1000 dollar debt plus added so much extra cash in your account. So, that anything else that person might owe in the future will be paid in full.

That my friend, is exactly what Jesus did for us, for those who have received Him as their Saviour and Lord. Oh my God. What an awesome God we serve. Thank you Jesus. That is how much God Loves Us.

See, a debt that we can not afford to pay back, makes us avoid the person we owe the debt too.

So, the law makes us try to avoid God because we can not pay the debt we owe. Now that Jesus over paid the debt that we owed God. Now we can come joyfully before God. Because we know the truth. And knowing the truth, it has set us free. This is the wisdom of God. Now we can enjoy our walk and life in Jesus Christ. We have no need to be afraid and have sad faces. We are happy children of God, knowing God has our backs and we are not to worry about anything. God is in control of every thing.

So, it is very important we all understand this. We are no longer under the law. We are under Grace. The law is a ministry of death and Grace through Jesus Christ we are under the ministry of life.

Jesus says, you can not put new wine (Grace) in old wine skins (Law). So, you are either living under the law (Not saved) or you are living under (Grace) Born again saved Christian.

The ministry of grace reveals to us that we enjoy the goodness of God that we do not deserve. Because Jesus received all our bad. Yes, Jesus received all our bad and sad life that we had no hope, so we can receive a healthy and happy life through Him.

The law is like a mirror. So, when we look in the mirror and see a blemish on our face. We do not use the mirror to remove the blemish. The mirror only reveals the blemish but it can not remove it or heal it. That is what the Law does. It only reveals our blemish.

Under the law in the old testament of the Bible. If a person touched a leper that person became unclean. When Jesus under the ministry of grace touched a leper, the leper became clean.

From the journey from Egypt to Mount Sinai not one person died even though they sinned. This was a journey of Grace. That is what we are under today. The Grace of God. Thank you Jesus.

This walk under Grace was not based on their obedience or their faithfulness. It was based on Gods faithfulness. So, on this journey of grace not a single person died out of 2 million people.

There was a study done a while back, that it would take around 50 train cars a day to feed this many people. And God was faithful to his people and fed them all, plus all the animals.

At Mount Sinai the people boasted and said, we will do what ever God tells us to do. Then God gave them the 10 Commandments. Then people started to die. They tried to please God by their good works. They tried to earn favour with God.

See, the same sin at the parting at the Red Sea. They murmured at the Red Sea and no one died. But after the law was given the same sin of murmuring the people died. The law is a ministry of death. But the Ministry of Grace is the ministry of life.

One time the Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman caught in adultery. I was wondering why did they not bring the man also?

The Pharisees said, Jesus, The law says, she should be stoned to death. They said, what do you say about this Jesus?

Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger. He was demonstrating to them, are you going to present me with the 10 Commandments? Jesus was revealing a message to them at that moment while He was Writing on the ground. I am the one who gave the law. The Pharisees was actually challenging the law giver. Jesus said, he who is without sin throw the first stone.

See, the Pharisees thought they had Jesus between a rock and a hard place. When in reality Jesus had them between a rock and a hard place. Between the Law and Grace. The old covenent the Law and the new covenent Grace.

Only Jesus could have thrown the first stone. And the Pharisees would have thrown the stones if they could have. They loved to condem people with the law. Jesus represented the ministry of Grace. The Pharisees represented the ministry of death, the Law. And Grace won...

And after the Pharisees left. Jesus stooped down again and wrote on the ground again for the second time. Why? Because the law was given twice. The second time the law was given, it was to be placed under the mercy seat of the ark of the covenent. This was the time of the ministry of Grace, Life. See mercy and grace is at the heart of God. And that is LOVE. For God is LOVE.

We as Christians are not under condemnation. Because we are condemned no more under the law. The law of death has no hold over us. Because of what Jesus did for us at the cross. And being saved we do not want to sin anymore.

In Gal.5:4 it says, if we try to live our christian life by trying to keep the law then we make Christ of no effect and we have fallen from grace.

See, falling from grace is not caused by some sin we did. Falling from grace is falling under the law. Because we are trying to keep the 10 Commandments to please God.

Once you put yourself under your own trust and in your own doing of good to make right decisions and work out your own favour with God. God says, you have left the realm of unmerited favor.

Sin can not stop Gods grace. But Gods grace can stop sin. Your faith makes you whole. Faith comes out of the realm grace. The law makes faith void and of no effect. Rom. 4:13,14. In God we have become Abraham's seed. Grace is enough to make you a friend and child of God. By recieving Jesus as your Saviour and Lord.

The reason we do not see the blessings of God in our lives, is because we are trying to live under the law. By trying to do good to please God.

What voids faith? Void means empty or worthless. It is not sin that voids faith. What makes the promises of God of no effect? It is not sin... It is that we are trying to get it through our obedience and good works. The Law.

To receive Gods promises, they can only be received by faith. And then start looking around you as all of Gods blessings start manifesting before your eyes. And the blessings are not received by our good works to please God.

So, what voids faith is the law. Law is what you have done. But under grace we rest in faith and trust God. And put aside trying to please God. It will not work anyway. So, why waste your time doing things that are no effect or will not please God anyway? Just rest in faith and trust in God... To full fill His promises.

The secret of great faith. Just study the two people that Jesus said had great faith, They both was not learned in the law. They was only focused on Jesus and His grace.

The base of the law is based on demand. So, any time you are over whelmed with demand, you are under the law. The base of grace is based on supply that is all ready available to you. Just waiting for you to ask God for it, through prayer and believe you received it by faith. And it is yours for the taking. So what ever God calls you to do for Him under grace the supply is already there to complete the task.

When Jesus said, it is finished on the cross. At that very moment God released a great flood of grace. And we are no longer under the law. Because the law demands us to do something to earn our worthiness. But under Grace God has done every thing for us to became worthy. And we receive it by faith.

See, we do not pray for victory. We pray from the realm of victory. See, Jesus knew this truth about believing and praying from the realm of victory. When He prayed over the 5 loafs and 2 fish to feed the 5000 plus people. He started his prayer by saying, I thank you Father for hearing my prayer. He started his prayer by praying from the realm of supply. He did not pray for the supply to be met. And that is how we need to learn how to pray.

What we need to do, is pray our prayers from the realm of victory, and seeing with the eye of faith that our request is already being taken care of at that very moment in Jesus Name.

Then we need to move on and do not hang around to see if the miracle has taken place. Why? Because signs and wonders follow us. They will happen as we move on to the next task, that God has put before us to do.

I know from with in my spirit that God has called me to share the Gospel through the Internet. And I know that the supply is already there to complete this mission. And I also know that signs and wonders will follow me as I obey this call that God has called me to do. And many people world wide will be saved because God will see it come to past for His Glory. Amen and Amen... Thank You Jesus...

So, thanking God for answering your prayers when you pray them, is revelation of grace. Grace and thanks goes together when praying. Thanking God that He hears and will answer your prayers. That is praying in the realm of faith.

When Jesus saw the two small fish and 5 loafs to feed 5000 plus people. Jesus by faith seen from the realm of supply. The disciples saw from the realm of demand, there was to many people for the supply of the 2 fish and 5 loafs to feed that many people.

They saw it from the realm of limit. And they said, Lord send these people away. Jesus said a prayer, He said, Father I thank you. See, Jesus saw through the eye of faith, and looked up to Heaven and gave thanks. And the food multiplied. See, the supply of God is always flowing. When we learn to see things through the eye of faith. We will see the supply from God is always flowing. And then we will have no room for doubt in our heart.

So, we are not living under grace if we worry about things or worry about the future. See, grace is for today. One day at a time...
