ARE YOU PERSONALLY EXPERIENCING CHALLENGES IN YOU LIFE?
If you have a personal relationship with Jesus this is a message for you.
No matter what it looks like, if we’re living for God, “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28 New Living Translation).
It is one thing to know something intellectually but a whole new ballgame, so to speak, to put it into practice. Do not worry. Just step out on faith. We can be sure that God will meet us right where we are at. The victory is already yours in Christ! Jesus defeated the devil and all demons at the Cross and resurrection on the 3rd day.
“When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross” (Colossians 2:8 Amplified Bible).
You see, Jesus (God), even before he created the world, had already planned for our redemption through Christ dying on the Cross for us. It was the only way to defeat and break sin’s power over our lives, death, the devil, his cohorts (demons) and hell. And all of God’s enemies were clueless of his plan to bring about this great victory for all who are willing to receive this wonderful gift of salvation, complete forgiveness of sins, and the opportunity to live with him in total victory, joy, bliss, safety, peace, and things indescribable forever – in HEAVEN. Although we who really know Christ already experience these things here on earth somehow it still doesn’t compare with what it is going to be like when we are raptured and see Jesus as he truly is. We will be given glorified bodies that never grow old. That is right, no aches and pains, no liars or thieves will be able to enter the place where we will be, no criminal minded people, there will not even be any darkness as we understand the night or any need for the sun for Jesus will be our light. It is going to be beyond amazing! NOTE: He died even for those who choose to reject him.
If you do not already have a personal relationship with Jesus, you can make that a reality right now. All you must do is acknowledge that you are a sinner, believe in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead and confess with your mouth that he is Lord and you will be saved (born again).
Please repeat the following prayer out loud. Focus solely on Jesus as you pray, and he will personally forgive your sins and come into your heart and live.
SAY, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner in need of a savior. I believe that you died on the Cross for my sins and that you rose again on the 3rd day. I ask you to forgive me for my sins, I repent (turn away from a life of sin) and ask you to come into my heart and live right now. I receive you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you that I now have eternal life.”
My friend if you prayed that prayer from your heart you are now born again and have received eternal life. Now when you pray to the Father you ask him to meet your needs, pray for you parents, brother, sister, family, friends, coworkers, or whatever it is you thank him, “In the name of Jesus.” You now have access into the very throne room of God.
You must begin to read the Bible daily. Before you start you can pray, “Father please give me understanding of your Word as study it. Thank you so much in Jesus’ name, amen.
There is so much to learn and God desires to meet your every need. The better you get to know Jesus the more you will see that every one of your needs has already been provided for. With the pandemic going on so many venues have been affected even attendance at the Christian church. Please keep in mind that God wants us to be joined together with his body (the Church). Pray that he will make a way for you to become a part of Bible believing church. You can find prayer lines that you can call for prayer and Christian literature. Also, you can find churches in your own area by zip code. There is also 24-hour Christian television where true men and women of God are teaching the truth about his word. Remember that prayer and Bible reading must become a regular part of your everyday life. This will help you to grow in your knowledge of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
I love you with the love of Christ and want you to grow continually in your faith. And do not worry. Even with all that is going on in the world today God is still in control. At the proper time he will call (rescue) his people out of this depraved sin ridden world into his marvelous light to live with him forever.
