Jesus took three things from me…

Jesus took three things from me…


Worry…

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you…Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus…


Do what is best for your soul…have a little talk with Jesus…tell Him your fears…show Him your tears…walk with Him throughout the years…Worry is a dark room where negatives develop…Jesus is the Light to shine on and in the darkness…He is a friend to a sinner…have a talk with Jesus and get right with Him…He says blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled…


Lack…

Philippians 4:19-20 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…


Jesus does not promise a mansion in Malibu…but enough for today…enough food and clothes to survive…enough love and support to encourage you to follow the truth and do what is right…enough bread…enough water…but says seek you first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you…I have learned Jesus will meet your physical needs…and your spiritual needs but always does what is best for the soul…


Defeat and doubt…

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Jesus of Nazareth died and was raised from the dead…so you would not have to defeat the lies that will deceive and destroy your soul…Jesus died so you could choose right over wrong…good over evil…he ensures we have free choice to do good not wrong or evil…we are ensured the victory over the evil that would hinder us from doing God’s good will…there is no reason to do an immoral or evil or sinful thing…Jesus died so He could reveal the truth to you and you just do what is right by God and fellow man when the truth is revealed. It is all a man can do…when he learns the truth he was wrong…is to do right by the truth…


Father please hear our fears…our tears…and heal our soul’s deepest wounds…please have mercy and meet our soul’s deepest needs…and may we learn the truth and prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus took three things from me…

No Jesus...No heaven...Know Jesus...Know Heaven!

No Jesus...No heaven...Know Jesus...Know Heaven!


Listen to the written word from the New Testament of Christ which is the New Agreement between God and creation…a message on how to prepare to enter Heaven…listen…


John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.


Hebrews 5:8-9 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,


Mark 12:29-31 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”


Matthew 18:3-4 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.


John 3:3-5 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.


John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”


John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Have you ever been baptized into Christ before? Yes or no…If you have not then you cannot enter into Heaven…Will you be baptized into Christ for the remission of your sins to receive a promise? Yes or No…the promise of the Holy Spirit…listen to the first message of salvation in Jesus name with a promise…



Acts 2:38-41 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls…


2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come…


Colossians 2:11-13 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses…


2 Peter 1:5-9 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins…


Father help us to know your Son Jesus and learn how to obey Him in the truth and we forgive all others hoping for mercy…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

No Jesus...No heaven...Know Jesus...Know Heaven!
No Jesus...No heaven...Know Jesus...Know Heaven!

The man that walks with God…

The man that walks with God…

Here are some instructions on how to walk with God…the man that walks with God always gets to His destination…Listen to what is written from the New Testament of Christ which is the New Agreement between God and creation…for God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance…


1 John 1:6-10 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us

…If we confess our sins, then admit we were wrong and need forgiveness and cleansing…then Jesus says He will clean us from all the unrighteousness associated with our confessed sins…


1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

…Lust of the flesh the needs of the flesh get twisted and we try to justify ourselves…the desires of the eyes…what is the apple or desire of your eyes…to see Jesus or to see some other dream or thing…what is pride of life…it is I am better than others…I am not like other men…I do not…or I do these things like civilized people I am not a neanderthal like other humans…


1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

Jesus said…ask…seek…knock…have you asked Jesus…have you been seeking Jesus…are you knocking on Jesus door…Jesus died and was raised so you would never have to choose a wrong or immoral thing again…and so you could confess your sins or wrongs and find forgiveness…will you call on Jesus today?


Father please meet our deepest needs for forgiveness and mercy…help us confess our unconfessed sins…and may we prosper and be in health as our souls prospers…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
