Instead of TGIF (although we are all thankful for that - LOL), how about trying something different...like focusing on being thankful for what our God is - think of something each day that starts with the first letter of the day of the week...
This week....I am THANKFUL GOD IS...
MONDAY - I am Thankful God is Majestic!
TUESDAY - I am Thankful God is Terrific!
WEDNESDAY - I am Thankful God is Wonderful!
THURSDAY - I am Thankful God is Thoughtful!
FRIDAY - I am Thankful God is Fabulous!

AMEN TO THAT - HAVE A BLESSED WEEK BEING THANKFUL FOR WHAT OUR GOD IS - DON'T FOCUS ON THE BAD - GOD CAN GET YOU THROUGH ANYTHING!

FOOD FOR THE SPIRIT - JESUS IS THE ONLLY WAY! 09/08/2014

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!

This is the core of our Christianity belief system - JESUS is the only way to the Father.   As for those so-called preachers on TV media who have recently stated on national television that there is more than one way to heaven, well, then they didn't read this scripture.  JESUS said in His own words that HE is the only way.  If you are a follower of Christ, you must trust in the very words that our Lord has spoken.  It is not for us to decide how to get to God - it is GOD's decision.  HE made the choice to send His only begotten Son to save us and through JESUS, we are saved.  Through JESUS, we have a way to Heaven.  That is it.  No fluff.  Just the facts.  If you are in a church where they preach a different gospel, then you better RUN!  They are preaching a false gospel!  Read God's Word for yourself.  God's Word does not lie.  PEOPLE DO!
PRECIOUS JESUS CHRIST, LORD AND CREATOR OF LIFE, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE FATHER, I PRAY THAT ALL WHO READ THIS WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE - AND THAT NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH YOU - THERE IS NO OTHER GOSPEL - YOUR HOLY WORD COMMANDS IT - THE BLOOD THAT YOU SHED FOR US DEMANDS IT!  WE CANNOT WATER DOWN THE SALVATION YOU PROVIDED FOR US FOR OUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES AND AMBITIONS - AND I PRAY THAT ALL WHO PREACH A FALSE GOSPEL SHALL BE REVEALED FOR THE LIES THEY TELL AND BE BROUGHT DOWN BY YOUR HAND.  PLEASE HELP US SEE ONLY THE TRUTH AND NOT BE LEAD TO FOLLOW FALSE PREACHERS OR LEADERS - OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE ONLY YOU AND THE TRUTH THAT YOU BROUGHT TO US.  THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME, FOR SAVING ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE, AND SURROUND US WITH YOUR HOLY ANGELS AND PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL.  AMEN.

John 14 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions;[a] if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.[b] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

FOOD FOR THE SPIRIT - JESUS IS SALVATION! 09/02/2014

JESUS IS SALVATION!

There are a lot of "alternative" gospels out there today - but only ONE is the truth.  Jesus didn't die on the cross for nothing.  HE did it to save us from hell.  HE didn't have to go through with it.  It was His wonderful mercy and His precious choice to save us.  He saved you and me - He saved us from eternal damnation.  You can't do anything to earn it.  It is a free gift.  You can't work your way in to Heaven by good deeds.  You can only get there through the blood of the spotless lamb, Jesus.  

If you are a believer, this is the true meaning of our faith - this is the reason we are "Christians" - because we believe that JESUS is the only begotten son of God and that HE died for our sins.  There is no other gospel.  This is it.

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, PRECIOUS JESUS, WONDERFUL HOLY SPIRIT, I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT YOUR GIFT OF SALVATION IS THE TRUTH.  IT IS THE GOSPEL.  IT IS THE FREE GIFT TO ALL OF US.  IT IS BY YOUR MERCY AND YOUR GRACE THAT WE ARE SAVED FROM ETERNAL DAMNATION.  I ACCEPT YOUR GIFT, DEAR LORD, AND I THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM MY SINS.  I AM NOT PERFECT.  YOU ALONE ARE PERFECT.  I AM NOT HOLY.  YOU ALONE ARE HOLY.   YOU ALONE ARE MY GOD.  TODAY AND EVERY DAY, I WORSHIP YOU AND GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY.  AMEN.



John 3:16-17New King James Version (NKJV)

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
