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
