" Uncovering the truth about your life!
Contrary to the way you have lived most of your very short life, Life is for:
- (1) Repenting of your sin
- (2) Finding Christ as Saviour
- (3) Doing the predestined will of the Father in and for your life.
Many that read the above statements may scoff at them but you do so in ignorance only because you are blinded by the devil.
- 2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world [satan] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Don't believe me, ok, here is a little test for you: try to live a good life apart from God (for even one day):
- Immoral sexual relationships, pornography, lust, etc.
- The use of alcohol, drugs, profanity,
- lying, cheating, stealing, jealousy, hatred.
This list is very short, I could go on and on but for the sake of our test, just attempt to leave this stuff out of your life and see what happens.
You will find you are free to do anything you want, as long it is bad. In fact, if you would be honest, you would find that you have an uncontrollable proclivity to either some or-all-of-the-above. Why? Because satan is the god of this world and unless you are born again he is your very own father. But Jesus said:
- Joh 10:10 The thief [satan] cometh not, but for to steal, :and to kill, and to destroy: I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
After you fail this test, don't be discouraged but do find Jesus as your Lord and Saviour why, because there is a heaven to gain and a place of torment to avoid, called Hell; and all that is necessary to avoid that place is this easy prayer:
"Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sin, I believe with my heart that your Father has raised Jesus from the dead and I now confess that with my mouth that He is both Lord and Saviour and according to your word in:
- Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I thank you now Father God that I am saved and that I am now your very own child."
- Your salvation is not based on a feeling but on spiritual laws that are stronger and more powerful than natural laws. By an act of the force of the Spirit of God you are saved! Now what do I do?
You need to find a good Bible believing church, buy a bible (NLT version) and allow Jesus to live his life inside you. You could never be good enough for God, so God in His wisdom sent his Son to die for you. All you gotta do is let go and let God! It is not a works program, you now trying to be the best person you can be. No, child of God, it is far from that. All you have to do now is let Jesus live big inside you and your life will change by His power and not your own will power!

Today's scripture
Eph 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

Love power
- Contrary to popular belief, Love is the most powerful force in the universe and Father God demonstrated this unconditional love toward mankind by giving his best gift: His son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) [go to Hell] but have eternal (everlasting) life. Amp
