Knowing, and Having Christ Above All, Over All, More Than Anything Else

Knowing, and Having Christ Above All, Over All, More Than Anything Else

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable  explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis

"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth that I desire beside thee." (Psalms 73:25).  "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;" (Philippians 3:8-10).  All worldly enjoyments, and outward privileges will soon be gone away with this ever perishing world.  But the love, and the gospel of Jesus Christ will be for an eternity!  What a joy to know that this world is not it!  We have so much more to look forward to than this!  There is a greater coming!  There is the blessed hope to all those whom believe in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ!  That He is the Son of God, and the only true way to be with the Father in heaven.   The sacrifices that you make to give it all up for the sake of Christ, are the ones that He delights in the most.  He feels your pain, He sees your struggles, and He counts your tears.  He will provide a much more better way than you can ever imagine!  He unconditionally loves you that much!  Are you willing to sacrifice, and suffer all to the one whom gave His all, including His life, for you?  No need to worry about things, because God will take care of all who diligently seek Him.  God will bless you more abundantly, so that you may help others along your journey.  God will supply all your needs, your wants, and grant you your desires if you delight in Him!  "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:24).

  

"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweith me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." - (Jeremiah 9:23-24). 

And "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (2 Peter 1:3).  May the love of God fill your hearts, peace be unto you within your homesteads, and the joy of the Lord to lighten your paths.  To God be the glory!!!

The Perfect Work of Patience

The Perfect Work of Patience

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith," (Galatians 5:22).

The purpose of tests in our lives is to perfect the endurance, or perseverance of patience.  And, with the perfecting of patience, there is an increase of our faith.  Our faith is in Jesus Christ, who is the author, and finisher of our faith.  But, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2).  To be the new creature in Christ, you must allow Him to work with you, through you, and in you.  "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye maybe perfect, and entire, wanting noting." (James 1:4).  The perfect work that God is to bring about, and mature within you, until the day of Jesus Christ.  It is not by your own hands that this work is done, but the Lord's.  "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." (Psalms 138:8).  And, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6).  "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12).  And, "Let us there fore, as many as be perfect be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." (Philippians 3:15).  

Once patience has been perfected, ye shall be entire, wanting nothing, because all is fulfilled in Christ Jesus.  He will be all that you ever want and need, because He is the supplier, and rewarder to all those whom seek Him!  "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." (Psalms 34:10).  Because, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalms 23:1).  There is no need to worry, or fear anything.  God is going to finish, what He started.

     

So, be "Patient", and allow God to do that "Perfect Work" so, that you "Want Nothing."  All things, and everything is by Him.  To God be the glory!!!  Ꭿℳℰℕ!

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!!!
