Christ is love.

Greeting in the name of the Lord ,

What an awesome God we serve . He is open to our prayers , He knows all about us , there is nothing in our lives that is hid from him , and he still loves us !! In Psalms 121: 4 it states that He never slumbers nor sleeps , He is always there for us anytime of the day or night , Paul states in Ephesians 3: 18 . And may you have the power to understand , as all God's people should, how wide , how long , how high , and how deep His love is . NLT . And yet some people never get to experience this love because they never put their trust in Him. We sometimes put our trust in relationships and in ourselves , but not in a God that is able to give you peace and joy and keep you safe in Him. I know that everyone needs to know that they are loved . Sometime we look in all the wrong places for that love , Christ is love. John 3:16 said For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. NLT . You don't have to be alone , you don't have to feel rejected . You don't have to face your troubles alone . He wants to have a personal relationship with you . He wants you to experience his love that is beyond anything you have ever experienced . Romans 10:9 states If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. It come down to what is in your heart , it is all about our heart. It is a Heart thing . What is in your heart today? You can have the love of Christ if you would only call on his name . If you don't know him , my prayer is that you would call on Him . If you have, we would like to send you some free material, just let us know and we we get it to you and also we will pray for your new walk . God Bless and keep looking up He is coming soon!!

The Lost Son

Greeting,

I was reading the other day in Luke's gospel about a father that had two sons. Luke 15:11 and a few things that I read that spoke to me and I hope that it might bless you also. In verse 12 the bible says that the younger son told his father ', I want my share of your estate now before you die', So the father agreed to divide his wealth between his two sons. Verse 13 A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land , there he wasted all his money in wild living. NLT . One of the thing I picked up on was that the young man's father did not put up an argument. I would have tried to talked my son out of leaving but this father didn't. He knew that the son was not going to listen, And sometimes we can be so hard headed that we have to learn from our mistakes. The father knew he had to let him go, Not because he did not love him but because he did . That is the way our Heavenly Father does us . He gives us free will to either leave His safety and blessing or to stay under his protection and love. Now I believe the bible is very clear that we cannot lose our salvation , John 10 ;27 But we can back slide or try to run away from God. I know that this can be confusing to some, Ephesians 4; 21 -24 Explains that when we become a believer we take on a new nature , we don't desire the things we use to, If we are a christian we will know when we are in the pig pin because pig slop will know longer satisfy us. The bibles says in verse 15 , He came to his senses and went back to his father's home. He stated in verse 18 , I will go home to my father and say, "Father I have sinned against both heaven and you. 19, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Notice here he confessed and change the direction he was going, It is not enough to confess , We have to repent of our sins and change coarse with our life. We do that with the aid of the Holy Spirit . We have a father that loves us so much that he forgives and forgets our transgression when we repent and come back to him . The bible says that he even had a party for his son when he came home. Now his older son got mad because his father had a party for his brother . The oldest son was trying to work for his salvation and never asked for a party because he was caught up in religion and works . Ephesians 2 :8 God saved you by grace when you believed. and you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God . The oldest son was miserable and was never free because he was all ways to busy trying to keep all the rules and working . I know that a good tree bares good fruit but there is also freedom to worship and to enjoy our salvation . You can never enjoy it if you are all ways trying to work for it. Man have I seen a LOT OF MISERABLE people over the years setting in church trying to make sure everyone keeps all the rules. I am so glad that the father set me free to love him and to party with him. What are you praying for today? Are you asking for all your goods ; Maybe you already have asked for the goods and now you need to come home , He is waiting for you. Are maybe you are like the older brother and not having any parties, remember everything He has is your , CHILL OUT and party down . AMEN . Keep looking up He is coming soon!!!!

LOVE

Greeting in the name of our lord ,

Have you ever thought about how much that you are loved ? As I was studying for a message the Lord laid on my heart about how much God loves us. I think that that is the one thing that is often over looked in our relationship with Him. He love us , I mean He really loves , Even when we mess up, are we forget to pray, He still loves us, It does not depend on how good we think we are .Or how many rules we try to keep. In Ephesians 3: 18 And may you have the power to understand as all God's people should , how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. Verse nineteen says May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. NLT WOW , have you ever thought about it that way? Sometimes we can miss out in his love in trying so hard to please him and trying to keep all the rules , that we miss out on the fact that it is in His love and excepting his love and living in that love , that pleases our Father. It is not in always trying to be good enough. It is in that love that we are made complete ,In His love that we are made whole , And we come alive in that love. His love takes away the hurt that life sometime throws at us. Sometimes we have relationships that we get hurt in , It may even be a family member that hurts us. That's why we need the love of Christ in our lives. He wants us to live our lives in the fullness of his love. And he also gives us the power of that love to overcome the things that life throws at us. Jesus said in John 17: 22 I have given them the glory you gave me , so they may be one as we are one. NLT That is an awesome statement that Christ made. Think about it , he wants us to have the same kind of relationship with the Father that he had . He wants us to experience that kind of love that he has with God the father. We all want to feel loved , we all want that kind of relationship. Many of us look in all the wrong places for it . Sometimes people search all their lives for it and never find that kind of love. There is only one place to get it and that is through Jesus Christ. He is just a prayer away. Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raise Him from the dead, you will be saved . Amen , If you have prayed that prayer let me know and I will send you some information on getting started in your new life. If you are all ready a christain my prayer is that you would let the love of Christ fill you , flood your heart , saturate even the dry places in your heart with his supernatural love. That the joy of that love would flow out of your belly's like living waters, and spill out on those around you. Amen .

The Passion of Christ

GREETING,
As I am setting here tonight my thoughts are on the Passion of Christ. And what he went through A little over two thousands years ago for mankind. As we enter this Holy week I hope that you too will spend some time thinking about about what Christ means to you. Christ said in Luke chapter 12: 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No , I have come to divide people against each other ! NLT . There has never been anyone like him nor will there ever be. There has been wars fought over him and nation's divided over who he is NLT. People have tried to make him in to what they wanted , they have twisted his words , went against what he stands for , molded Him into there religious beliefs . Man has been trying from the begining to bring him down to thier level . Jesus warned us about the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod in Mark 8: 15 . He asked his disciples one day as they where walking to Caesarea Philippi ,Who do people say I am , A lot of folks today are still missing who he is. I think Luke said it best in Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no one else ! God has given no name under heaven by which we must be saved " NLT FOR GOD LOVE THE WORLD SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 3:16 NLT That is why he endured the cross . It was for me ,it was for you , it was so that know one would have to perish , that know one would have to face death with out him . He came to save the lost, HE DIED FOR OUR SINS. He suffer on the cross , he payed our debt , He died so that we could have life. My prayer is that you , if you don't know him , would call on his name . Spend some time with him this week, this week is not about the easter bunny, but about a savior,that bridged the gap from a fallen mankind to a Holy God. My prayer is that you would come to know how much that he loves you and want to have a relationship with you. HE will never have to endure the cross again, the debt has been payed in full!! Keep looking up he IS coming back . Amen

PRAYER

Greeting,
I trust that you where able to spend some time with the Lord today in prayer. Prayer is an awesome way to reach the heart of the lord. I think the Lord for all the prayers that have gone up on my behalf over the years. They are the reason that I am still standing . We all need the prayers of the saints. James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. NLT .We ALL NEED PRAYER!!! AMEN . I think one way satan robs us is through our prayer life. He wants to keep us from kneeling before the Lord because he knows the power of prayer. Prayer changes lives, through prayer we have seen the sick healed, marriage's healed. Prayer moves nations, breaks down strong holds, delivers the oppressed .Prayer along with faith can move mountains in your life. But when you ask Him , be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. There loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:6-8 NLT , When we pray we have to make sure that our motives are pure. Gods takes care of our needs not our wants. Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are wrong_ you want only what will give you pleasure. James 4:3 NLT The Apostles when they re turned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives the bible said they where constantly united in prayer . ACTS 1;14 . They knew the importantance of holding each other up in prayer, we need to learn from them. I hope that we all would spend more time on our knees before God in intercession and not give up until we had and answer . I know that our churches would change and the spirit would start to move and revival would come .I believe in my spirit that we need to be in prayer more now than in anytime in history. I feel such an urgency in preaching to the lost , I know that no man knows the hour of the coming of the Lord but we can look at the signs and know that the time is near. We need the prayers of the saints going up for the lost and for more spirit filled preachers to proclaim the gospel to the lost and dying in this world. We need to support and pray for our missionaries . Pray for divine protections for them and thier families. And pray for each other . AMEN!!! God Bless and keep looking up He is coming soon.

Happy New Year,
I hope you have started your New Year with renewed comittment to the Lord, 2008 is behind us, I hope it was a good year for you but for many it may have been a difficult year; But now we have a new year and it can be a new start with our lives, many have made New Year resolutions and offten we don't stick to them .I am told that offten they don't last but a few months, they say that by march the gyms are back to normal. Sadly our comittment to Christ sometimes is the same way. We have good intention , we want to stay comitted, but over a period of time it becomes easy to loose our zeal for the Lord. Offten it is not in the big things that get us but the constent drip,drip of everyday life that pulls us away from Our relationship with the Lord. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gilf of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. NIV : We are to keep faning that fire that is in us, put there by the Holy Spirit. You may ask how do we do that? by spending time with the Lord everyday in prayer, by reading his word, and by staying in fellowship with our church, and spending time with other christians. There are no Lone Rangers in our walk with the Lord. We need fellowship with other christians , we need there encouragement when we are down , we need thier prayer when we can't pray for ourselves. We need one another. THAT is why the Lord spend so much time on teaching us about love and Paul wrote in 1 Corninthians chapter 13 verse 4 Love is patient , love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easy angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.NIV ; We need one another. This New Year gives all of us an opportunity to start our walk with the lord refreshed, revived, and excited. I believe that 2009 will be a year of great harvest. I don't know of a church that does not need excited ,comitted christian to support the ministries that go out of our churchs. THIS could be the year that we take back our community for the Lord. Remember that it is not in our we start the race but how we finish the race. Let 2009 be the year we turn the world up side down for the Lord!!! SO get involve ,Let the Holy Spirit direct you , fill you , and help keep you on the narrow way . AMEN , Keep looking up he is coming soon.
