ONLY THROUGH JESUS.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6.

I don't want to be any more exclusive than Jesus, but I do want to hear His voice, because He calls me to find the way to the Father through Him.

I also know that others must know Him, to find their way to the Father, too. Why can we not be more passionate about those around us, who do not really know Jesus as their Saviour, Redeemer, and Lord?

How can the first four books of our New Testament be read and ignored?

Loving Heavenly Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit, give me a passion for Jesus, and a heart that knows Him in word, deed, and concern. I ask this in the wonderful Name of Jesus. Amen.

Be encouraged!

OUR GREAT DELIVERER!

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. - Psalm 3:8.

God is The Great Deliverer!

That's his chosen expertise. Whether it was delivering the Israelites through the Red Sea from Pharaoh's army ages ago, or it is rescuing a sinner from sin and death through Christ today, our God is The Great Deliverer!

So let's use today to repeatedly pray for people who need God's deliverance from sin, death, disease, family conflict, addiction, financial concerns, legal matters, mental illness, abuse, and temptation.

Loving Heavenly Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I ask for deliverance for my friends who are on my heart, and whose names I place before you now, release them from their bo***ge, and deliver them into a time of blessing, comfort, and assurance of your abiding presence. In the wonderful and mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

HE GIVES THE SPIRIT TO THE OBEDIENT

And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." -Acts 5-32.

God never promised a bed of roses to any of us, yet, to the obedient ones He has promised something greater than all the roses of this life. He promised us the Holy Spirit!

The giving of the Holy Spirit, is evidence that it is the will of God, and that Jesus Christ should be obeyed. I would rather have the Holy Spirit bearing witness in my soul, when I go about my daily chores in my every day life, than to have all the trimmings and trappings of this world.

We cannot expect to be redeemed and saved by Christ, unless we give ourselves up to be ruled by Him. Faith takes the Saviour in all His functions, who came, not to save us in our sins, but to save us from our sins. Hallelujah! What a mighty God we serve!

Loving Heavenly Father, help me by the power of the Holy Spirit, to spread the good news of the gift of God, to people who need the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives. Direct my paths Lord, and grant me wisdom, that I may win them for you, in your wonderful and mighty name I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged!

JESUS WON THE VICTORY ON THE CROSS

Jesus won the victory on the cross once and for all, Satan is a defeated enemy and the final destruction of all evil will come when Jesus returns again.

The first time Jesus came to earth was as a baby in a manger, but on His Second Coming He will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The New Testament tells us He will return in glory and gather His people into the Heavenly Kingdom He is preparing for them. As a Bible-believing Church, we believe Jesus is like a Bridegroom returning for His bride, the Church, and we must not only be ready but desire His return.

You too, can have a relationship with Jesus today.

Below is a prayer that if prayed sincerely from your heart will help you discover Jesus for yourself, in agreement with His Word…
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. - Rom 10:9-10.

“Lord Jesus, I thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, forgive me for my sins, fill me with your Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart and receive you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Help me to follow you all the days of my life, in your mighty name I pray. Amen"

I go out to preach with two propositions in mind. First, every person ought to give his life to Christ. Second, whether or not anyone else gives him his life I will give him mine. -- Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758).
-----------------------------------------------------------
”...that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. --1Cor 12:25-27. (ESV)

I thought I would do something a little bit different today, something that would help us all to understand that the Church needs to work together, everyone doing their part, that we might see a mighty move of God as we function together in unity!

That we may see the unsaved ministered too and shown the love of Jesus, that we may see souls saved and the Kingdom of God move together in power!

Loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for Jesus, my Lord and Saviour! I thank you that I am a member of the body of Christ. Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit, to function in the gifts that you have given to me, and to use them to build up your Church, help me to respect and honour all of my brothers and sisters in Christ, that in unity we may see the kingdom of God extended! In Jesus wonderful name I pray! Amen!

TOUCH OF ENCOURAGEMENT...They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't even go into the village." - Mark 8:22-26.

A PATIENT TOUCH... No Hurry.
Hope was born as Jesus took the time for this man. God is so patient with us, while we live in an "impatient generation." We've heard of folks who… “Stand at the microwave and scream hurry up!" And with people we have even less patience! But Jesus was patient to bring a hopeful encouragement to this man We must do the same.

A POWERFUL TOUCH... Sensitive.
I believe that as Jesus took the man by the hand, the man knew that this touch was one of power, that could bring healing, Jesus' touch was powerful in that it was, comforting, it was as if Jesus seemed to say "allow me," it was a sensitive touch.

Loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for your touch of encouragement. Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit, to reach out and touch others with the same encouragement. Change me Lord, for your glory and for the extension of your Kingdom, in Jesus wonderful and mighty name I pray, amen!

REVIVAL

Revivals are not usually preceded by the awakening of the Church to a sense of need, but by the awakening of devout souls here and there, who feeling the need, begin to entreat God in prayer for a revival. Gradually this deepens and spreads until the sense of need becomes a burden, until the cry, "How long, Oh God! how long!" becomes an agony. This is the cry which God cannot deny. It is for that cry that we must intently listen.

Is there, then today a disposition to pray for a revival? Are devout men everywhere becoming alarmed, not for the success of the Church, but for the glory of Christ, lest it be lost altogether? Is there a sense of a burden lying upon men's hearts which will not give them rest, but which makes them agonize in prayer?
If not, then the night is not far spent, a deeper darkness still awaits us. Of what use would a revival be if we are not prepared for it? It would pass over us without doing its work. - James Burns.

Loving Heavenly Father, my desire is to carry out the supreme assignment of winning souls! Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit to lead people to righteousness, help me to step up my prayer life for a revival in my family, my workplace, my community, my City and my country! In Jesus wonderful and mighty name I pray! Amen!

ARE WE ENGAGED IN WINNING SOULS?

Are we engaged in winning souls?

The Bible says… The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. -- Prov 11:30. Do we want to be wise? Do we want to accept this supreme assignment?

There is an effort that is required...

An effort has to be made if the souls of men, women and children are to be saved! There is the effort of prayer, there is the effort of a quiet consistent life lived in the home, the shop, the factory, the office. There is the Spirit directed frontal attack, the carefully planned approach to the soul who needs to be saved!

Often the difference between a successful soul winner and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will... As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no-one can work. -- John 9:4

“You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most…It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society; but to save as many souls as you can; to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.” -- John Wesley

Loving Heavenly Father, it is my desire to carry out the supreme assignment of winning souls! Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit to be a soul winner, help me to step up my prayer life for souls, in my family, my workplace, my community, my City and my country! In Jesus wonderful and mighty name! Amen!

HE WILL NEVER FORGET OUR WORK AND LOVE...

God is always fair. He will remember how you helped his people in the past and how you are still helping them. You belong to God, and he won't forget the love you have shown his people. - Hebrews 6:10. (CEV)

Wow! So much assurance in such a short verse! God is always fair, is that an understatement or what?

If He produced the atoning sacrifice for our sins, what will He deny us if we seek after him? He will not forget our work and love, an eternal record of the good we have done! When we help our brothers and sisters in Christ, we bless Him! We are HIS people!!

That's real encouragement and motivation to keep on maturing in Christ.

Loving Heavenly Father, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. My words seem so inadequate, and cannot express my joy at hearing such a simple and profound statement, describing your virtues. I am so glad I am your child. In the wonderful Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Jesus Christ is a Man come to save men.

In Him the divine nature is married to our human nature, and wherever human nature exists there is the raw material out of which He makes followers and saints. Our Lord recognizes no classes, high or low, rich or poor, old or young, man or woman: all are human and all are alike to Him. His invitation is to all mankind.

In New Testament times persons from many and varied social levels heard His call and responded: Peter the fisherman; Levi the publican; Luke the physician; Paul the scholar; Mary the demon possessed; Lydia the businesswoman; Paulus the statesman. A few great and many common persons came. They all came and our Lord received them all in the same way and on the same terms.

From any and every profession or occupation men and women may come if they will. The simple rule is that if the occupation is good, continue in it if you so desire; if it is bad, abandon it at once and seek another. If the call includes detachment from all common pursuits to give full time to the work of the gospel, then no profession or occupation, no matter how good or how noble, must keep us from obeying the call. - A.W. Tozer
