Jesus Can Give You a New Start in Life
No matter what your situation of circumstance there is deliverance in Christ. Jesus can wash away your sins and give you a new beginning. The devil is seeking to bring under bondage as many as he can because he knows he has but a short time before the return of Christ. He is gathering souls for destruction and he wants yours. If you are struggling and you feel a tug in your heart, a small voice that is saying what you are doing is not right, don't ignore it, God is trying to reach you because he loves you and he doesn't want you to go to HELL. He knows about the struggles of this life and how we all fall short . But he wants you to know you don't have to be in bondage, you don't have to chase the wrong way to find the love and acceptance you having been longing for because he loves you, flaws and all. He wants you to know he can fix those broken areas in your life by guiding you on the right paths in life. So you made a detour and have followed the wrong way, a way which is not ordained by him, all hope is not lost, there is forgiveness at the foot of the cross. All you have to do is ask for it. REPENT, BE FORGIVEN and be set free to travel the road of change.
Don't be ashamed, no one is perfect, we all have done something wrong one time or another. Don't let sin hold you captive. Confess it before God, be forgiven, let it GO, and sin no more. I am not saying that likely there will not be another time ever in your life when you will fall short because that would be a lie, but when it does know that God will be there to forgive you. Mind you there is a difference in falling and the practice of SIN, please do not misunderstand. Struggle and willingness to sin because of a self chosen lifestyle is two different issues here. You have to want to be set free, then after praying and asking God for this freedom do your part in resisting temptation and praying daily for the strength to do so. There will have to be changes made in your life, you will lose some friends and perhaps family in the process because you will have to clean house. You will not be able to continue to associate with things of old until you gain enough resistance to go back and try to help set free another who may be struggling as you were.
Each day you will have to walk by faith and not by sight. Don't ever worry about who loves you here on earth just as long as God loves you, you will be fine. We don't need others to make us feel important because we already are important to God. This is why some struggle because God is knocking at the door of their hearts. He desires a total relationship with them. You have already taken the first step if you are trying to seek help. Keep taking steps toward change, God is near, help is on the way. No need to fear, God is not a man that he should lie, he will do as he says he will.
The DEVIL is the one that is the liar, and the fooler of men. Because many people live by sight and not by faith is why many are fooled today and on the path to complete destruction. It may look like others are living the good life while living in their present sinful state. They may be now but sooner or later they will have to face God and answer for choices made while here on earth. The Great White throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) is no joke and every person found unforgiven and unwashed in the blood of the lamb will have to stand present before God to be sentenced to their final destination.
Those who have been saved by God's grace have had their names written in the Lambs book of life so they will not be present during this time of God's judgment on those whose names are not. Those who have placed their faith in Christ Jesus alone for forgiveness of their sin, salvation, and have repented, been washed in the blood of the Lamb (the blood that Christ shed at the cross when he was crucified in our place for the payment of sin, ergo satisfying the requirement of God....Romans 3:24 & Isaiah 53:5-11) and have been reconnected in a relationship with God will live Eternal with him. There is no second chance for reconnection and Life Eternal with God apart from repentance and the forgiveness of Christ. If you perish in an unforgiven state your connection to God remained broken. PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED, BELIEVE NOT THE LIES OF MAN, ONLY BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAID!
If you seek deliverance, forgiveness, salvation; a relationship with God say a little prayer and ask....
He loves you.
It is so easy to use the letter "I" in sentences without giving it a second thought . "I "did this, and "I" did that, and "I" was responsible for this, but if you really think about it 99.9% of the things you do if it were not for God's fore plan you would never have accomplished it. That new job you may have gotten, if God had not lined it up for you it would have never been yours to claim, somebody else could have easily gotten it if it had been God's will for it to happen that way. The house you live in, a blessing, because you could be homeless.
We must never forget to give credit where credit is due. God is omnipotent and he designed this entire universe and began humanity in six days. He spoke and things appeared, what power! When I reflect on this it takes me to the passage in the Bible where it says life and death are in the power of the tongue. God has shown us in his word about how we must speak things in to existence. Take the negativity out your mouth and replace it with positivity. Speak life over yourself, not death. How you think and what you say is important. The devil wants you to believe that things wont happen. He wants you to doubt or deny the power of God in some sense, but he is a liar. God is able. People tend to want to doubt God because sometimes they see and experience certain things in their lives they don't fully understand the reasons why. Some want to say a person is lucky or in some sense fortunate when certain things are achieved in their lives, but the truth is that person is blessed in his circumstances. No, we cannot always explain why some things happen for some and not for others, and that is because we can't totally comprehend the full picture.
We must remember that God is sovereign and his ways are not like our ways and neither is his reasons or timing. We are thinking with the natural mind and reasoning and can't fully understand the things of the spirit but rest assured God is in control and he knows what he is doing even when we don't fully understand in totality. He knows what's best for each person. He has a will and "his will" will be done. We have to trust God even when we don't understand what we are seeing with the natural eye. We have to believe even when things seem like they are not. We must live by faith and not by sight. We must not look at our circumstances and keep our minds stayed on Jesus and stand on our faith.
My mother often says, and I adapted this saying from her, "Thank God for what is, and what is not". At first I might not have comprehended that phrase so well but then I realized what she was saying and I am so glad that I heard her say it. Think about it if you will, for example, thank you God that I can see because some can't, thank you God that I can walk, because some are paralyzed, thank you God that I can speak, because some are mute, thank you God that I can think clearly, because some have lost their minds, thank you that I can hear, because some are deaf, and so on.
Sometimes we often complain about much but then we stop and think, "Lord, thank you and forgive me for complaining", I know I have. We complain sometimes about various family members, our parents, our spouses, our kids, our siblings but what about if we had no family at all and we were alone, so many don't have mothers, fathers, children or friends. If you have these mentioned thank God for them, they are a blessing. If you don't have any of these mentioned and they have gone home to be with the Lord, thank God for what you had in them and for the memories God has allowed you to retain of them.
Thank God for the good and bad, because if you did not have bad times you would not be able to know of or appreciate the good ones. It is so easy to thank God when its going good but give him the praise in difficult and in bad times as well because whether you know it our not it could be worse. I like the song "Help is on the way" that goes, "he might not be there when you want him too but he'll be right there on time, hold on help is on the way". You can best believe if you prayed on whatever your situation is, help is on the way, just stand in faith for its arrival and be careful not to block or delay it.
I love the phrase, "To God be the glory", and "Glory to God", because he is worthy. There is so much that is to his glory, praise, and honor that there is not enough thought, paper, or ink to give him justice, even so, let us not forget to give him the credit that he is due.
God is Speaking. Are you listening?
God speaks to us through his Holy Word and he is trying to reach many of us today. Do you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you accepted his invite to come into your heart? The Bible says Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart and anyone who opens the door and lets him in he will come and sup with them. (Revelation 3:20)
Time is drawing near to the return of Christ, Jesus, our Savior, and Lord. The Biblical signs point toward his coming being near but none of us know when our last moment on earth will be individually. Your life could cease in an instant, if so will you stand before God blameless or guilty? The Bible says like in the days of Noah so shall the coming of the son of man be. The Bible says everyone after Adam was born into sin and stand guilty before him. The Bible also says that no righteousness lies within us of our own accord, it says all our righteousness is like filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) Jesus is righteousness. (Romans 5:17-19)
The Bible says the wages of sin is death. Sin=death! How shall I take care of my sin debt so that I can live you ask? God speaks through his word to answer that question, "My Son, Jesus"
Le me show you the scriptures......
Romans 5:8--But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Christ paid for our sins.....He gave his life for ours...
1 Peter 3:18--For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Matthew 20:28--Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Ephesians 5:2--And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
You may be saying why? Answer, because he loves us....
At Christmastime we delight in the gifts we receive.....but the ultimate unsurpassable gift we can ever receive comes from God, the Father, through his Son, Jesus, and that is ETERNAL LIFE. This gift can only come from him by GRACE.
For by grace we are saved, as a result of our faith, and that it is the GIFT of God, not of the result of works you have done, so man his NO room to boast about salvation whatsoever. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
If you have already received the gift because of your faith in Jesus then you know of the Joy that the saints of God have and that are found in these scriptures. Those of us that believe in Christ hath no fear of the end coming because we know we will stand before God blameless, not as a result of anything we have done but all because of what the SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS HAS!
If you have not believed or the Lord Jesus and take your last breath and leave this earth in the physical you will be defenseless before the Father and will be judged for your unwillingness to accept his Son Jesus. (Revelation 20:11-15)
I encourage you, if you have not already, to seek Truth, Jesus is TRUTH, the word of God says "He is the way, the truth and the life; and that no man comes unto the Father but through him, so you see there is no other way to even connect with God, the Father, but through Jesus. It doesn't matter how man wants to say is the way, the only thing that matters is how the Father has shown us which way is the right way. (John 4:16)
The Bible says whosoever believes on Jesus shall be saved.....this was his reason for coming......
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved....John 3:16-17
Will you believe before it's too late? I pray your answer is YES!
