Encouragement To Pray...


John - Chapter 14  (Verses 12-14  &  27-28)


12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."


27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

Do You Want To "Know" The Truth...?


If we Love Jesus, as we do everything else in this country, there are many of us that will soon stand before a Holy & Righteous God, very, very surprised.  It IS ALL about The Relationship with Him.  The depth of The Relationship.  The exclusivity of The  Relationship.  The level of commitment in The Relationship.  The heart of loyalty in The Relationship.  The amount of dedication in The Relationship.  
 
This culture / society is in a point in our history, when we can't even properly define our relationships with friends, family or our spouses...?  Why...?  We want to "take" God on our terms, we want to "make" Jesus "fit" into our lives...?
 
News Flash!!!  He  IS  GOD, Creator, Sovereign of all that IS, we are the created, we don't take or make HIM anything,  HE  IS  !!!   He Is...  We do not define The Relationship...  God Does Loved Ones, please, understand, that we as a Nation have made idols before a most Holy & Righteous God...  He Created Us, therefore; He defines the playing field, the rules and he owns the game ball.
 
You will never get Friendships right, never get Family right, and never get Marriage right until you understand and have a Real Relationship with the Author of all Relationship, The Lord and King Jesus Christ and His Blessed Abba Father - God and Creator of all universes.
 
If we Love The Lord Jesus our Christ, then we will submit and yield to that Lordship, allowing Him to Define The Relationship...  Otherwise; you had best study Matthew 7, and become familiar with verses 13, 14, 21, 22 & 23...  HE and HE alone defines how and who HE knows, in the Word He provided to us to introduce us to Him.  Apart from His Word and His Spirit - there is NO Relationship...
 
Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. 
 
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ 
 
Trust Me - I didn't get this right, I didn't understand...  I was a religious man, I wasn't a "servant to The King", I had a one way relationship with Christ, my way, which I have since learned is in No Way a Saving Relationship...  Pastor's wake up, accountability for your flock before the Bema Seat is real...  Tell them The Truth, teach them The Truth, and call Sin just that - it is Sin...   Not mistakes...  Not bad Choices...  Not wrong Turns...  
 
Folks - You willfully break the commandments of God and our Dear Lord Jesus, it is Sin and pride that defines your life, which Christ has no part in.  His Grace is not a license to follow the worlds ways...  He came to divide, to separate the world of Sin from the World of Righteousness, if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, a True, Real, Deep, Loving & Serving Relationship with Him, YOU, already know this to be TRUE...
 
If you have a relationship with Jesus, then you already understand the mission...  Speak, preach and teach the gospel to all that will hear, upon their accepting, repenting and turning from their sin, get them Baptized and then Disciple them so that they can repeat the process...  
 
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
