Jesus Is The Only Way

(Jesus Is The Only Way)


"Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6).  

"Jesus is the only way because the Bible says it to be true. Why? Because only He bridge the gap between God and man; there's no other way." - Norman Geisler

The remedies of a trouble mind in this world is to believe in Jesus Christ.  By believing in Christ, "Son of the Living God", is to accept that He is the only way to the Father in Heaven.  Jesus is the mediator, or the bridge, between God and man in which we can gain comfort.  All prayers, and requests are taken up by the Son to the Father, and by Him, through Him do we receive the blessings thereof.  Ꭿℳℰℕ!
To ease the pain of the sinful heart, Jesus welcomes all to believe in Him, and to leave your burdens down at the cross.  "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in god, believe also in me." (John 14:1).  God sees sin as sin.  There is not one sin greater than the other, unless it is blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, which cannot be forgiven.  All other sins are forgiven, and all have the opportunity to be cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb through acceptance, and repentance.  The four words to be stressed is "I Am", "The Way", "The Truth", and "The Life."  I am that I am, which is the way to the Father, by which we gain knowledge of His truth, that we can have everlasting life.  I AM: "Jesus said unto them, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." (John 8:58).  And, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8).  THE WAY: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among me, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).  THE TRUTH: "In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God." (John 1:1-2).  "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14).  THE LIFE:
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:17).  Beloved!  There is only "One Way", and Jesus Christ is that way!!!  God sent His only son with love, that we may have life, and live!!!  "All the way to heaven is heaven, because Jesus said, "I am the way." - Catherine of Siena  To God be the glory!!!

Pruning, and Purging

Pruning and Purging


"A rebirth out of spiritual adversity cause us to become new creatures." - James E. Faust

God loves us so unconditionally that he will prune and purge us that we can grow spiritually in Him.  After time, we become bogged down with sin, and God will remove those things that are dead within us, so, life can be manifested through us.  Trust the process, and not focus so much on the procedure.  Trust in God, and allow Him to have His way!  It may not feel good, but it is necessary for your spiritual growth.    

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin." (Psalms 51:1-2).  "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." (Psalms 51:7).  "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me." (Psalms 51:10-11).  It is God whom does the "Good Work" in you!  He works in Grace, and works out the corruption of sin.  "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13).  
What righteous can we say that we have of our own, unless it is the righteous by faith in God. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:5).  His love, grace, and mercy endures always!  "The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works." (Psalms 145:9).  So, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19).  Our Heavenly Father encourages us to repent, because there is forgiveness, and free mercy through the acceptance of His son in Christ Jesus!  "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." (Isaiah 43:25).  "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee." (Isaiah 44:22).  How wonderful is the Lord thy God, who will wash sins, cleanse sins, forgive sins, and create us anew.  A God who sacrificed His only Son to be the Savior of the world, and only way to heaven.  A God that is holy and righteous whom with all His purity, can't stand the sight of iniquity, yet made a way for us to be saved.  Love!  Love!  Love!  An unconditional love like no other!!!  To God be the glory!!!

Keep Hoping, Praying & Believing

Keep Hoping, Praying & Believing


As you travel down the highway of life, you will encounter many obstacles along the way.  On your journey you will have twist, turns, hills, and valleys that tend to slow you down from reaching your destination.  There are times you will make a wrong turn, and wind up going the wrong way.  Only, to find out in the end, that your way wasn't the right way at all in the beginning.  You pray, you have hope, and you believe, but the situations around you still stand.  You tend to get upset, try to fix the problem, and in it, you want to question God over things that are beyond your control.  You start reasoning with yourself, allowing worry and doubt to take root in your heart.  "Why did this have to happen this way?", "Why did this have to happen to me?"  As you go through, know God is in head of everything, and His ways exceeds ours.  "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9).   You may not understand it now, but in time you will.  So, keep hoping, praying and believing.  Before everything is over, you may go through a domino effect of problems.  You may start off with a flat tire on Monday, run off the road on Tuesday, engine overheats on Wednesday, get side swiped on Thursday, car won't start on Friday, and before the week is out, you run out of gas on Saturday.  Still, keep hoping, praying and believing.  You may have had the whole trip mapped out.  You may have had a certain time that you wanted to reach your goal, but things didn't go the way you planned.  Remember, God always has something better for us in the end, and His way will bring peace. 
"For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off." (Proverbs 23:18).  Through it all, God tells us to "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." (Deuteronomy 31:6).  Keep hoping, praying and believing.  Always have faith, and remain hopeful.  "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1). 
Through the good and the bad, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6).  Always "Pray without ceasing. In ever thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."  (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).  Have faith and believe in what you have prayed for.  "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7).  "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22).  Keep hoping and never give up.  Keep praying, and know that God can.  Keep believing that God can and that God will.  May peace abound in you all that you keep "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;" (Romans 12:12).  Open your heart, listen to the voice of God, and He will renew your strength.  The journey will become easier once you allow Jesus to be the head of your life.  "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:" (Isaiah 45:2).  And,
The storms on the highway of life will be over, and soon a distant memory of the past.  You will look back and appreciate all that happened when it did.  "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard"  Stay focused on Jesus Christ, and the heavenly things that are beyond this earth.  Keep hoping, praying and believing!!!  To God be the glory!!!

The All Wise, The All Knowing Almighty!

The All Wise, The All Knowing Almighty!


"Since God is infinite and wise, He must be infinitely wise:  This is called omnisapience.  So as applied to God, wisdom refers to His unerring ability to choose the best means to accomplish the best ends.  As such, God wisdom is written in several other attributes: His omniscience provides the knowledge for His wise choices; His omnibenevolence assures that they will be good choices; and His omnipotence enables Him to achieve His ends by the means He chooses." - Dr. Norman Geisler 

Who is wiser than you Lord?  Who is all-knowing, and who is all-powerful?  No one but you!!!  "Then beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it." (Ecclesiastes 8:17).  "The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?" (Jeremiah 8:9).  "At the time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." (Matthew 11:25).  "Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" (1 Corinthians 1:20).  
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" (1 Corinthians 1:27).  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."  (1 Corinthians 3:19).  No, not one, is wiser than the He, not no one wiser than the Almighty!!!  " O the depth of the riches both of wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." (Romans 11:33-36).  To God be the Glory!!!

Love The Lord Your God

Love The Lord Your God


"And thou shalt love the Lord they God with all thine heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy might." (Deuteronomy 6:5)


"God loves us.  We must not be afraid to love him.  The faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words and through love." - Pope Francis  

We must love God in the strongest manner we are capable of loving.  We are to love God always, at all times, and on all accounts, for everything He has done for us.  To "Love The Lord Your God", with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength, and with all thy might.  "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39).  Loving God wholeheartedly by the means of obeying Him, serving Him, and the love of His people.  "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have love you." (John 15:12).  But, by knowing that the act of love is a will to do, and not just a means to say.  That if we place love in our hearts, Jesus said, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:14-15).  When we do the will of God, and follow His commands we are no longer servants unto Him, but we are His friends.  "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." (John 15:14-15).  For the Father, whom loves us so unconditionally sent His only son to die for us, that through Him we may experience His presence, peace, and power!!!  "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:23).  To each and every person whom confess that Jesus is Lord, will be saved!  They will be given the Comforter, who provides comfort, a waymaker, who makes a way, a peacemaker in the midst of a storm, and a guiding light, that will lead you from day to day.  It is impossible for Christians to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and might due to the sinful nature of the heart.   That is why God sent His only son to die for us so that we may accept Him, and be cleansed from sin.  When we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior, we are given the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit whom dwells within all the hearts of those who are redeemed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to love God to any degree.  God's love for each and every person is so great!!!  God's love is a powerful essence!!!  So powerful, that mere words cannot fathom the sensation His love brings!  There is truly no other love greater than it.  Because 

In most instances our love and affection for God grows more instensly with His faithfulness to us during our trials, and tribulations.  Over time, we witness His love, grace, mercy, compassion, holiness, righteousness, and His hatred to sin.  When we seek God, and take serious to the command to love Him, we are then consumed with the things of God.  We will become eager to learn God's word, to pray, eager to obey, honor Him, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.  The love of God will mature, to the glory of God.
  "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is on Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy god with all they heart, and with all thy soul, and with all they mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  There is none other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31).  To God be the Glory!!!

All Belongs To God

All Belongs To God

"Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." (1 Chronicles 29:12-13)


"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof'; the world, and they that dwell therein." (Psalms 24:1).  "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." (Psalms 33:6-9).  "The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them." (Psalms 89:11).  

"For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." (1 Corinthians 10:26).  Blessed Be The Name of the Lord!!!

An Unquenchable Love

An Unquenchable Love

"A love that last forever, sealed within mine heart.  A flame that burns moreover, neither floods can quench or part!"
