Fear not, words from Jesus

 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; Rev 1:17-19

Words of Jesus to His beloved disciple John.

In the first chapter of the last book of the bible, the Book of the Revelation, Jesus gives some great encouraging words to his disciple and now Apostle John.  It is the beginning of many words of Jesus that John would record.

Jesus identifies Himself with a great proclamation, " I am the first and the last"  Now John wrote about this in the gospel of John chapter 1 verse 1.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Jesus was alive on this earth as secular history and the Bible shows record his time on earth. He was the great prophet. Born of the virgin Mary, as GOD became man through His son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. He lived on this earth and then died on the cross after the rejection from His people. John said it best in John Chapter 1 verse 11 & 12

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

So He lived and died and now, He is seated at the righthand of His Father GOD, doing His Heavenly ministry, as our High Priest.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; see Hebrews  8:1

So as we see and hear these words from our LORD Jesus, may I say, Hear Him today. Hear Him for help, happiness and a home in heaven to go to someday.

Seek the LORD while He may be found, call on Him while He is near. Accept GOD's son, Jesus as your LORD and call on Him today.

Asking, Believing and confessing. (A-B-C) For with you heart, all believes and your mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Believe, faith base and call on His name, as He will hear your prayer.

You are just a prayer away from GOD, call on Him today.

The GOD of Comfort

 

The GOD of Comfort

2 Cor 1:3-4,6

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; ⁴ who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

The word comfort, in the original language, Greek, means a calling near, a summons, (especially for help) also, a calling to one’s side for consolation.

All comfort, as “all” means all, also in every kind or variety.

I say, ‘What an awesome GOD !!”

And may I say, It is true!! (I have seen it and experience in my lifetime)

In this scripture text, we see the source of comfort, GOD. Then see the scope of His comfort, “all” and we see the significance of this comfot, it is  consolation and salvation.

First, we see the source of our comfort, and it is very clear, it comes from GOD. The creator of the time, day light and dark, the creator of this world, the GOD in Heaven, all powerful, all knowing and always everywhere, is the GOD of comfort.

Secondly, the scope of our comfort. It covers us first, personally, and then it covers others, Friends and family. When are comforted and experience it, then we should share the comfort with others, especially those in trouble and in tribulation as GOD is for you, he is not against you.

Thirdly, the significance of His comfort is consolation and salvation as seen in verse 6.  We will have personal consolation and deliverance from troubles and tribulations.  It is for us and for us to clam. A promise from GOD.

So, this is a calling for Help for you. And as David said many years ago in the Book of Psalms, “my help comes from the LORD” (and for YOU too).

just saying

while its' trending, planting the seeds for the gospel, sharing light and being salt to the world

Three hidden truths

 

Three hidden truths from three parables Luke 15

It has been said a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.  Our LORD Jesus as the great master / teacher used this means of teaching to His disciples, we who are believers and to all that seek Him.

Now, each of the three parables have a story and lesson for all.  But here are the hidden truths.

First, in verses 3-7 the parable of the lost sheep. We see, what an earthly shepherd would do. But a deeper teaching is what the great and Good shepherd did for us all. He left Heaven, he left the throne of Glory, to go and come to the earth to find the lost sheep. Luke said, in his book, Jesus come to seek and save that which was lost. So not only does it who and what an earthly shepherd would do, but it shows what the LORD Jesus did for us. It shows His love, His looking and His labor for the lost sheep. And this teaches us salvation.

Secondly, parable # 2, the parable of the lost coin verse 8-10.  The bible teaches the bride of Christ as a woman. All believers, all those who have been saved by the grace of GOD through faith are apart of the Bride of Christ.  And so this is a message from Jesus to his bride the church.  Clean your house, your heart, and find that one valuable thing you lost. Ten is the number of testimonies, perhaps she lost one part of her testimony. Your testimony with man and GOD.  First, she lighted a candle or lamp, GOD’s light always shows that something is missing, it exposes the blemish and the wrong, it shows where you need to clean. May I say, many times, it is your heart, your head(mind) and home.  The old testament patriot, KING David, say in the Psalms “Thy word is a lamp to my feed and a light to my path”. And this teaches us sanctification. 

Thirdly, parable # 3, the lost son. The son made a wild and worldly decision to leave the Father. But in his leaving, he found regret that he left the Father. So the Father was not mean or mad. But He longed for His lost son. Then was happy rejoiced when he came back.  Truly, showing the great love of the Father and our Heavenly Father. The Father hugged and loved him, praise the LORD, he loves you dear friend, you may come back to Him!! And this teaches reconciliation.

So, we see three earthly stories, the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost on, BUT, great is the Heavenly meaning!!

Dear friend, GOD is lovingly looking for YOU today, why want you call on Him, today, He is just a prayer away. And, most importantly, whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved, that could be you.

May GOD bless you,

RevDan

I still believe in

 

I still believe in:

-Sin

Sin is the violation of the law (10 commandments & GOD’s word)

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4

- Salvation

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9

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.

¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:9,10,13

Salvation is of the LORD, by grace through faith the gift of GOD, not of works.

- Sanctification

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16

Set apart Living for Him, in our walk, words and ways.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

- Service

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

² And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

2 Tim 2:1-2

Go ye into ALL the world, preach, teach, and reach each one!!

- Second Coming

(the rapture & His revelation)

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:10-11

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3

 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess 4:16-17

A students LORD's prayer

 Lord's Prayer

By a 15-year-old school kid who got an A+ for this entry

(TOTALLY AWESOME)!

The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more.

A kid in Minnesota wrote the following NEW School Prayer:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd

If scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice

For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the State.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong.

We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen

Christians, we have to pray for America to turn back to GOD !!
