Jesus Quote: Never Forsaken

I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Jesus

     Jesus knew what is was like to be left alone and totally, completely and utterly forsaken.  Though he had never sinned, given into temptation, or failed his heavenly father in anyway, he still experienced abandonment in the worst kind of way.  He was abandoned by God.  Yes, as he suffered, bled and died and took our sins on himself, sin did its worst.  Just as our sins separated us from God, he who brought us back into relationship with him, had to be separated and or isolated from the Heavenly Father to the point that the grief was just too much.  

    This horrific ripping away from his father was demonstrated as Jesus experienced the first stage of grief.  He set the appropriate example for grief as he did that which some preachers say we should never do.  He cried out in agony the "Why" question. "My God!  My God!  Why have you forsaken me!" Yes, he who has never sinned asked God the Father "Why?"  He did so because, even though the suffering was overwhelming, the worst part of it all was for God to leave his side in those moments when every sin that will ever be committed was placed on him so that we could be forgiven.  

     Most of you know the gospel story: Jesus lived the only sinless life ever lived.  As the Son of God, he faced down Satan and defeated him on every turn.  This qualified him to be "The lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." He suffered from Gethsemane to Golgotha.  He was crucified, he died and he was buried.  And on the third day he arose for the dead." Now any who take up their cross and follow him ... believe in him ... will never perish but have eternal life. 

    We who follow him have and are going to face challenges.  We will face trials and tribulations.  We may feel like we are alone and cannot make it.  But know this for sure: His promise is good, and when he said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you," he meant every word he said.  He has always kept these words he said, and he will ALWAYS keep this word to you.  So, challenged or not, trust him.  Do not believe the lies of the world, the sin nature or the devil.  Jesus is alway "there" with you. He will NOT leave you.  As the old song says, "You will never walk alone." Invite him to light up your life today and 

Be Blessed 2day Especially Today

American & "Pride"

 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
