Relationship

Beloved–

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (from Acts)

As a new Christian I took my salvation for granted, once my crisis was resolved I promptly forgot who was in charge. Several calamities later I became more cautious.  I knew that I needed to develop a relationship with my Savior.  As a child, I learned the 23rd Psalm . . . I thought maybe I should read the whole book.  Developing a habit of reading the WORD daily is not as easy as it sounds. The need to submit to his will over mine was for me a difficult task.  It took me 3 years to become a daily faithful reader.  I pray for you to desire to read the Bible so you can stay on the straight path of the God who is . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Understanding

Beloved–

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ . . . For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.  (from Romans)

As a new believer the Lord led me to a Bible believing church that preached the WORD of God every Sunday morning and evening as well as Wednesday night prayer meetings.  The congregation there saw that I was a “babe in Christ” needing wisdom, discernment, knowledge and understanding.  The family of believers in that church lovingly taught me how to apply the WORD of God to my everyday life.  I pray for you to desire to study the WORD of God so that you can testify that the God who is …  Father, Son and Holy Spirit loves you.

Luv Ya!

It’s True

Beloved–

We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ . . . This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.  So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. (from John)

Can that be true?  Yes, I can say I have seen and heard what I can only describe as the unseen hand of the Lord working in my life; there is just no other way to explain it.  I pray for you to experience the Lord working in your life. 

Luv Ya!

Always been with me

Beloved–

He has always been with me!   Can that be true?

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.  So God created mankind (aka you and me) in his own image,  in the image of God he created them;  male and female he created them  —–   Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?  (Genesis and Corinthian)

Now, I know that the Spirit of God lives in me and that He has always been with me!  I pray for you to recognize that it is His voice you hear and join me praising the mercy and grace of our Triune God.

Luv Ya!

The Helper

Beloved–

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. (from the book of John)

Now, about the voice you hear  ….  It is the indwelling Holy Spirit caring for you.  When I became a believer I heard his voice.  I have learned that he has always been with me, even when I didn’t believe.  I pray for you to desire to believe that the Lord God Almighty loves you. 

Luv Ya!

STOP and Listen!

Beloved–

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate who will never leave you. (from the book of John)

It’s always been about the voice … have you heard it?  It is that voice that passes through your thoughts so quickly you take no notice or the thought that keeps nagging you to consider its value.  I have come face-to-face with the truth that I heard the voice.  But I didn’t know my heavenly Father well enough to trust him.  I thought that I had worked myself into such a tight situation that I didn’t think that there was any use in trusting.  I have learned that if I had only taken a minute to listen I could have avoided a great deal of heartache.  I pray for you to have such a strong desire to know the Real Lord  God Almighty and that it overcomes all your fears and doubts.  He is a heavenly Father, a Saving Lord and Shepherd as well as a constant caring indwelling Holy Spirit!  

Luv Ya!

How Can That Be?

Beloved–

I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.  (from the book of John)

It has always been about Love!  Scripture says that because I’m a Believer the Lord God Almighty loves me with the same intensity that he has for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  

How can that be?  I pray for you to want to believe that the Heavenly Father Almighty God sent his only beloved son, Jesus Christ Almighty God, into the world to defeat death on Calvary’s cross to pay your sin debt that you are unable to pay.  Raising Jesus from death to life and seating him on his right hand so that the Holy Spirit Almighty God can come and indwell you.

Luv Ya!

Blessed Assurance

Beloved–

Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.  (from the book of John)

In desperation, I cried out to Jesus and he answered.  I took his gift of grace and mercy, not understanding what a price had been paid, so that I would never feel alone again.  My salvation comes with promises and an assurance. I pray for you to desire to have that same assurance from a Triune God that is always faithful.

Luv Ya!

Be Quiet and KNOW

Beloved–

‘I see that the Lord is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.  No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises!  My body rests in hope.  (from Acts)

It has always been about love, the making of the world and all of mankind.  “God saw it was good . . . God saw all that he had made, and behold, it was very good!”  God loving cares for all that is His!  Every stone, every handful of dirt, every grain of sand but most of all he pours out his love on every soul who is or has been on the earth from the very beginning.  He is always with me.  I KNOW I will never be alone.  I pray for you to KNOW that the Lord God Almighty has always loved you. 

Luv Ya!

… be one

Beloved–

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.  (from the book of John)

I couldn’t explain how I knew, I just knew. That was then.  Now I know that Jesus was praying for me even before I cried out to him in my desperation.  The triune God, Master of the Universe, the Maker of heaven and earth loved me even before I was aware of His great love for me. I pray for you to KNOW that you KNOW that God loves you!

Luv Ya!
