Make Your Reservation For Heaven

I made my reservation for heaven. It was made through Jesus Christ. Where is your reservation

for eternity and who did you make it through?

 

Delivered From Oppression

Six years ago the enemy of my soul tried to snatch me away. Then I heard the Shepherd of my soul say My Father is greater no one can snatch you out His hand. I called upon The Lord and He delivered me from the oppression of Satan.

He Could Part The Waters

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. Mark 4:35, 36 (NLT)

The reason you have not been blown away while going through the storm is because, Jesus is holding back the wind and waves. If God wanted you out of the storm and on the other side, He could have easily parted the waters to get you safely there. Beloved of God you are safely anchored in Christ.

Safe In God's Hand

Waiting in any situation is hard. But when we say "I'm giving this to you Lord, You write my life story. I want you to place every punctuation mark in my life. May people see your imprint on my life. Not my will Lord but, Your will be done in every area of my life." When you place the matter in God's hand, there is no need to worry. In reality that is when your worrying should cease. Your life is safer in the hands of God than an embryo in it's mother's womb.

Your Tears He Keeps In His Bottle

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 55:8 (NLT)

Are worries consuming your mind? Are you plagued with insomnia? What are your worries? Is it your wayward child? Your unfaithful spouse? Unemployment is the issue? Or, Is it the shut down of our federal government? Relax!!! God has not shut down his Kingdom. Those things may appear to be out of control. But, God has it all in control!!! Most importantly God cares and is actively involved in every area of your life. God sees the groaning of your heart. He sees your sleepless nights. He see the tears that falls down your face. Beloved of God, you are so precious to Him that He keeps those tears in a bottle. Things may appear bleak but, God will turn your situation around at just the right time. You keep looking and trusting in Him. Don't forget His faithfulness to you in the past. He is God and He can still be trusted with your present situation and your future situations. In the meantime, since God neither sleeps nor slumber, you can!!!

Jesus With Skin

Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we’ll surely love the child who was conceived. The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome. 1 John 5: 1-3 (MSG)

The old saying is true. Action speaks louder than words. The story was brought to my attention recently of someone who was going through a storm. They were to embarrass to call so they poured out their heart via email a certain person. I was told their emails had always been answered in the past but this particular time it was not even acknowledged. The person going through the storm said they were even more embarrass than when they first reached out to the person. I was told the person they reached out to mantra is "believers should be intentional towards one another."  That is a true statement we should always be intentional towards one another. Also, believers should never be guilty of talking the talk but not walking the walk. If convicted of something, it should be of doing good towards others, especially those in the household of faith who are in need. Sometimes a need is just an acknowledgement of what someone is going through. Can I get an amen!!! If your are guilty, maybe your should say "Oh my".  In James 4:17 we are told anyone who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, is sinning. Beloved of God, lets truly be intentional towards one another. Lets stop making excuses. You know the ones, for example "I don't want to get in the Lord's way, because The Lord may be trying to teach them to learn to trust in Him." Starting today may we stop using "holy excuses" to prevent us from serving and walking along side our brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes people need Jesus with skin on!!!

Stop Competing

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.  Galatians 6:4  (NLT)

As Christians we should keep our eyes and focus on Christ. But, sometimes we lose focus of our goal and we compete with each other. Not like the world competes. We get into a spiritual competition with each other. "Our church did this." "I listen to this bible teacher." We seem to forget that we are all on the same winning  team. Lets keep our eyes focused on Christ. Instead of competing against each other lets cheer each other on.  Hard as this race may  be. We are victorious. We will win it. As a matter of fact, Christ has already won it for us. You, keep your eyes on the prize!!!
