Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God ….according to Romans 10. We must hold fast to Christ’s name and to the gospel we have learned from the beginning the apostles warned. We can read Gods word for ourselves to learn how important this is and allow the Lord, our Good Shepherd Jesus Christ to teach us how important it is to abide in His word and listen to His voice. He said His sheep would flee from the stranger’s voice but would know their Good Shepherd and follow Him always. May our Lord Jesus Christ speak to our hearts as we wait silently before Him and trust Him to lead and guide us away from those who cause His sheep to err from the truth, in Jesus holy name, amen. Remember always Jesus said, “love one another, by this all will know you are My disciples when you have love for each other. “ (*see John 13) Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come to bring life…” (*see John 10:10) Christ’s children do not fall in league with the Devil to do harm and then justify it as God’s will…not according to the apostles and teachings of Christ. Lord help all Christians to read, read, and read over and over 1 ,2,3 John and the Gospel of John. And then read and meditate on Revelations 3… Heavenly Father, help us to pray and ask You always as David prayed, “ Search me, oh God, and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any harmful way in me and lead me in the way everlasting,” (*See Psalm 139) Lord engrave this truth upon our hearts that Thy word says, “He who loves God is known by God,” and…that “God has no favorites.” We must walk in love before our Creator who is the God of love who desires that all people be saved and whose only begotten Son suffered and died a horrible death on the cross that salvation would be available for all. Salvation is a gift of grace and love…may we truly believe in this…and thank our Heavenly Father. May God bless and keep all His precious sheep whom He loves. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Follow the link to listen to the tracks on my latest worship prayersong album, Paths of Prayer in the Spirit. These are some of the first prayer songs the Lord Jesus Christ gave me when He first blessed me with His music gift. I share it with you all now with the prayer that our Savior will use these songs to bless and calm many hearts during this busy holiday season. In Jesus’ name. Amen
The Lord said that I am His workmanship through whom and with whom He creates all His works that He might be glorified in and through me and produce fruit for His heavenly Kingdom. I did not choose Him, He chose me to go and bear fruit for Him, and I could not bear fruit apart from Him and to abide in Him and then and only through my Indwelling risen Lord and Savior within me could I be able to produce eternal fruit to the glory of God the Father inspired by His Holy Spirit.
Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. You are My friends if you do what I command you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
This I command you, that you love one another.” John 15:5, 14, 16-17 NASB1995
The Lord said I was not to ever be ashamed to attach my name to my Savior’s name, I was to hold on fast to His name and never stop professing His name for there was salvation in no other name under the heavens.
Jesus said, He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
John 3:18 NASB1995
“…let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.””
Acts 4:10-12 NASB1995
“always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;”
Ephesians 5:20 NASB1995
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
Colossians 3:17 NASB1995
“‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”
Revelation 3:8 NASB1995
“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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV
*The Lord Jesus spoke to my heart that I would honor Him through my obedience to show my faith and belief in Him by confessing that He is a risen Lord and Savior named Jesus Christ and that He does indeed live inside of my heart through His Holy Spirit inspiring my works as a reborn Christian, risking whatever opinion people may have of me for doing this so long as I would not displease my God by disobeying Him. The Lord requires we love Him and desires His approval more than the favor of man.In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, search our hearts and minds, correct us in any way where we have gone astray and fallen short in our love for You, our faith, our gratitude, our honesty, our hope, our faith, our willingness to witness to Thy salvation to be a testimony in this world of Thy great love in giving Thy only Son to die to save us from eternal death, to show that we truly believe You are not a fairy tale in a world that has shut You up in the genre of myths and fantasies and all who believe in You to be labeled as losers and fanatics. May You renew all hearts who have lost their first love for Christ and renew their faith and revive hope and passion and zeal for the Lord, oh bless all hearts and restore each of Thy precious children, and encourage Thy children to know how much you love them unconditionally, in Jesus holy name, thank You, we love you, Lord, amen.❤️
You are precious to God, so am I~
~He made us all, He loves us, no matter what race, color, gender, age, rich or poor ~Jesus died for all.
Although we may disagree, we shall all meet one day in eternity on equal grounds before Him. Let us walk in love, honor, and respect, In Jesus name. God bless you. Amen. 🙏🏻
The prayer poem Two Faces is inspired from a dream I had the other night.
In the poem I describe my vision of the two faces of the Lord Jesus Christ and when I woke up I was very upset and prayed as I always do about the dreams the Lord gives me for He very often speaks to me through His Word when I ask what my dreams mean. So He gave me a few verses to meditate on as well as the prayer poem. After reading the poem, and praying see how many more bible verses the Holy Spirit inspires you to find to meditate on. He will teach you many things to be sure! May God bless and encourage you as you study and ponder His word and spend time in fellowship with Him today. In Jesus’ name, amen,
Here are some verses.
ENCOURAGING SCRIPTURES
”He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world didn’t recognize Him. He came to his own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.“ John 1:10-13 WEBUS
”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him. Without Him, nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.“
John 1:1-5 WEBUS
”Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving,
that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, seeing it is God who said,
“Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.“
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEBUS
Therefore I urge you, brothers,
by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove
what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.“
Romans 12:1-2 WEBUS
”Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world.
If my Kingdom were of this world,
then my servants would fight,
that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews.
But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.
For this reason I have been born, and for this reason
I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”“
John 18:36-37 WEBUS
”Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe.
The works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify about Me.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I told you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
I give eternal life to them.
They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all.
No one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.”“
John 10:25-30 WEBUS
”Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why don’t you understand My speech?
Because you can’t hear My word.
You are of your father the devil,
and you want to do the desires of your father.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and doesn’t stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own;
for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Which of you convicts me of sin?
If I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
He who is of God hears the words of God.
For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
