The Word Made Flesh – BTEp10

3/5/2024
Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss the passage John 1:1-18 [The Word Made Flesh]. In the New Living Translation it says, The Word Made Human. Either way, The Word Made Flesh refers to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Hence, from this passage we learn exactly who Jesus was and still is. Also, we learn that God sent John the Baptist to testify how Jesus was the true light that shines in the darkness. Moreover, we learn how God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read John 1:1-18 New Living Translation? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered. Either way, come go with us in your bible or bible app. Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform to follow along. Then get encouraged by joining Lady V and me in this Biblical Talk — The Word Made Flesh. Scriptures Referenced in Episode Discussion John 1:1-18 Genesis Chapter 1 Psalm 100:3 Romans 10:9-10 John 3:16-17 Numbers 6:24-26 Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ Explanation If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus. Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world. And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone. No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell. Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath. Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says, “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift. Scripture Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says, “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Salvation Prayer Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, and your gift of grace. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior.

Ordered Steps – BTEp9

2/20/2024
Biblical Talks One of the many things I've learned over the years is that my plans for my life are not always what's best for me in the long run. In particular, I refer to those moments as redirections. And when I take the redirection, I end up exactly where I'm supposed to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I believe God has ordered my steps and all I have to do is be obedient. Another thing I've learned is that if I'm not obedient, God has a way of getting me back on track. Glory to God! In fact, for those who don't believe in Jesus, He has a way of reaching them as well. And we see an example of this in Acts 9:3-23 New Living Translation. Here we see that Saul/Paul a Pharisee [Jewish Leader], finds that out on the road to Damascus. He was on his way to hunt down followers of Jesus Christ but his encounter with the Lord Jesus forever changed the direction of his life. God ordered his steps. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read Acts 9:3-23 New Living Translation. If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered. Either way, come go with us in your bible or bible app. Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform to follow along.

GRACIOUS PROVISION: Feeding the Multitude – BTEp7

10/31/2023
Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 6:30-44 New Living Translation. This passage shows the gracious provision of Jesus of Nazareth. And how he feed the multitude--five thousand men and their families. Furthermore, we see His deep sympathy and compassion for those who made the choice to follow Him. Thus, He would meet one's physical and spiritual needs. Because Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd. When looking at this further, the parable of the lost sheep paints an excellent picture. So, let's look at Luke 15:3-7 New Living Translation. “Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!” Now, here are a couple questions for you.

Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 10:13-16 New International Version.

Now the disciples reprimanded the people for bringing the children to Jesus. But when Jesus saw this, He was angry with the disciples. In Mark 10:14-15, Jesus says, "14...“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” The beauty of this passage is that we all can come to Jesus of Nazareth.

Above all, we cannot talk about the consequences of sin without also discussing the mercy of God. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read about Cain and Abel? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered. Either way, come go with us in your bible or bible app to Genesis 4:1-16 The Living Bible.

Scriptures Referenced in Episode Discussion Genesis 4:1-16 Hebrews 11:4 Proverbs 21:27 Romans 10:9-10 John 3:16 Numbers 6:24-26 Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ Explanation If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus. Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world. And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone. No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell. Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath. Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says, “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift. Scripture Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says, “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Salvation Prayer Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, and your gift of grace. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior.

Jesus IS… GOD With Us — S5 Dep 1

2/28/2023
Lady V’s Devotional Episode Matthew 1:23 ESV says this: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with US). Matthew 1:23 ESV Devotional When we enter a dark room, it is instinct to turn on the light. There is something inside of us that says— “I need to see where I am going”. Yet, in life when things get it’s darkest, we ignore the whispers to reach for ‘The LIGHT’”. The LIGHT, Jesus, God with us, came into the world to help us to see beyond the darkness. Jesus came to open blinded eyes, to reveal The TRUTH that we all need a Savior to deliver us from the darkness. But not just any savior—we needed THE SAVIOR of the world. We needed Jesus, Immanuel—God with us! The prophet Isaiah and Matthew, the apostle, made the proclamation of who Jesus IS—as did many others. Isaiah called HIM a Great Light, a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:2-6, ESV). And Matthew called HIM “Immanuel” which means God with us (Matthew 1:23). Thus, we should never entertain the thoughts of being alone. We that are in Christ have the GREATER ONE with us. He is the Light that shines in the darkness. Jesus Christ—The Light in which the darkness has not overcome (John 1:5). HE is the name you call on when you need saving from the darkness. Thus, there is nothing or no one else who can save you. JESUS is ALL we need! Jesus IS and always will be GOD with us. We are never alone! The Greater ONE (IMMANUEL) is walking with us. Beloved, if you are facing dark times there is a way out of darkness. The NAME that lights the way and roots out darkness. The NAME that is THE WAY! HIS NAME is JESUS, IMMANUEL, GOD WITH US! The NAME above every name! So, don’t keep stumbling around in the dark! Jesus IS the LIGHT of the world! REACH FOR THE LIGHT!! Let’s pray... Heavenly FATHER, We come to you in the Name of Jesus, Immanuel, our God who is with us. We are thankful for Your Word that reveals that You are ONE. We thank you for YOUR great love through YOUR SON, our LORD and Savior, JESUS. FATHER GOD, we thank YOU for loving us and extending such grace to us through YOUR Son. Thank YOU for the gift of YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, given to help us as we walk through this life. Thank YOU, ABBA FATHER, that you sent us Jesus to light the way as HE is revealed as the LIGHT of the world, the TRUTH, THE WAY, and THE LIFE. Thank YOU that YOU’VE given us the promise through YOUR Word that you will never leave us nor abandon us. For YOU are with us now and in ETERNITY. We thank YOU FATHER for gifting us with Salvation through YOUR Son Jesus. And Father God, I pray that every Believer will be reminded every day that we are not alone because YOU ARE WITH US. Thank YOU for loving us and keeping us. We love YOU Abba! All glory to your Name! And it’s in Jesus Name we pray...AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! Grace and Peace to you all. And remember that JESUS IS LORD!

Fireside Chat Why is love important? And why should we love God and love others? 1 Corinthians 13:13 New Living Translation says, “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” When you look at society as a whole from the past to the present day -- what do you observe?

Walking in TRUTH and LOVE—S4 Dep12

11/29/2022
Lady V’s Devotional Episode 2 John 1:4-6 ESV says this: 4 I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. 5 And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. 2 John 1:4-6 ESV 0 Devotional Why is love and truth in the “Perfect Will of GOD? Imagine if the whole world believed in Jesus and walked in LOVE and THE TRUTH with one another. I believe the earth would look a lot better right now. There would be no criminal activity. There wouldn’t be anyone hating one another. Evil wouldn’t have a grip on anyone. Love IS essential and the truth IS in the Word of God. Jesus said it like this, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and all your mind (Matt. 22:37, ESV). Jesus said that was the great and first commandment. Next, Jesus said, “And second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself (v.39).” Think about it--If more of us would love God and love others, that alone could change lives! And as believers in Jesus Christ, our love walk in Christ should make a statement. It should always be a contribution of grace into society. In other words, following Jesus’ example of love would bring healing. It would affect lives for the better. In keeping with this, the world would see our love walk in Christ, but—so would our children, our family. LOVE makes a difference! Love always affects someone’s life to bring about good. The Word of God describes what love should look like... Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corin. 13:4-7 NIV). It may seem difficult...But with God—ALL things are POSSIBLE!!! This is why it’s so important to understand God’s love for us. In John 3:16, Jesus said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life (ESV).” God loves us! HE sent HIS SON, Jesus, to do what only HE could have done—brought Salvation by HIS grace—HIS unmerited love. God made it POSSIBLE! God did this through Jesus. Need more proof of God’s love for the world and that love is important? Well, everything began with the love of God. The breath of life in Adam and Eve in the beginning. Looking back—Adam and Eve could have been cancelled (erased) after they disobeyed God. But God had a better plan to redeem mankind. Salvation through Jesus on the Cross happened to reconcile mankind back to God—all because of God’s love. That statement alone speaks volumes of HIS “LOVE”. The Creator of all things made a decision after Adam and Eve’s sin of disobedience. It was clear everyone in the world would struggle with the sin of disobedience to God’s Perfect Will. God Willed for mankind to receive a chance to begin again. Everyone in the world would need a Savior. But, no one else but God’s Son could make this right. Now, because of Jesus, everyone has the opportunity to receive the free gift of Salvation. Through JESUS new life, forgiveness of sins, reconciliation back to God, comes by grace. Believing in Jesus brings change. That’s love! Salvation—a grace gift! Paid for by Jesus’ shed Blood on the Cross—The TRUTH! And the TRUTH, which is the Gospel of Jesus, reveals God’s love for the world. HIS love is so great that HE doesn’t want anyone to have to spend eternity apart from HIM.

Confidence in GOD – S4 Ep11

10/4/2022
Fireside Chat Have you ever had confidence in someone to later find out that you could not depend on that person after all? No doubt, most of us have experienced that disappointment before. Then it is time to put your confidence in God. For sure, I know from my own experiences that I will never have to worry about that with God. You see, my confidence in God is solid. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who honors His word. 1 John 5:14-15 New King James Version says, “14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” Moreover, He has made it very clear that He will always be there. Conclusion Now, you may be someone who is skeptical about trusting God because people in your life have often let you down.

Let God Help You – S4 Dep11

10/4/2022
Lady V’s Devotional Episode Psalm 46:1 NKJV says this: “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 NKJV Devotional How many times do we try to figure things out ourselves when trouble comes? Most likely, our first response is... “What am I going to do?” And if we are honest...we immediately start meditating on that problem instead of praying to God for help. I know, I know...it’s a human thing to panic first and pray later. But, just like the people of Israel found out—GOD should be the first ONE you consult. God is accessible and always available to hear the cries of HIS children. He’s an EVER-PRESENT Help in times of trouble—meaning right NOW! I’m here to tell you that GOD is a FAITHFUL Heavenly Father who never grows tired of helping us. If you call on HIM—He will answer! He is our strength when we are weak. He is our refuge when we need shelter from the storm. GOD is an EVER-PRESENT HELP! LET HIM HELP YOU! He is willing to help if we would LET HIM into our lives and fully surrender to HIS PERFECT WILL. And much like the people of Israel, we have to learn by experience that keeping our total trust in God will always pay off. In fact, keeping our focus on God and depending on HIM for HIS help, keeps us in a posture of worship before HIM. Total surrender! No matter the situation—GOD IS STILL GOD! LET HIM HELP YOU! Ask for HIS Help! He’s greater than any enemy that comes against you. He’s stronger than any force of evil that seeks to devour you. GOD IS GREATER!!! Now, of course HE doesn’t always answer on our timetable. But—HE does answer. So, stay prayerful, be patient and WAIT on the LORD. Rejoice in knowing that GOD loves you and He wants to help. All we have to do is cooperate with HIS plans and HIS timing. Beloved, seek GOD more, ask for HIS help and receive the supernatural help that only HE provides. And as you let JESUS in, you will see God help you—HIS WAY! Let’s pray... Heavenly Father, We come to You in the Name of Jesus, blessing Your Holy Name! Thank You Father God for every blessing and every favor from Your Hand. Thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your Son Jesus to die on the Cross for our sins and was resurrected unto new life. Thank You that we get the privilege of being Your children in Christ Jesus because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross. Thank You that we matter to You! Lord God, we thank You that You care about what concerns us. You are with us as we walk through the darkest valley. We don’t have to be afraid, for you are close beside us. Thank You for Your protection, strength, and comfort when we need it. You are a good, good, FATHER and we love YOU! Father, fill every believer with the JOY OF THE LORD which is our strength. Thank You that by the Blood of JESUS we are YOURS, in Jesus Name. Amen, Amen, Amen. Grace and Peace to you all! And remember that JESUS IS LORD!!!

THE PROMISE: Christ Makes All Things New – S4 E10

9/6/2022
In the past couple of years since the COVID-19 pandemic, people are dealing with the effects of great loss. Not only the loss of a loved one but some even lost their financial security. In fact, most of us around the world are working to 'rise from the ashes,' so to speak. But that my friends, has been much easier for some than others. That is to say, for the others, it has been extremely difficult. Because depression and hopelessness have taken over their lives. Oh, but there is peace and hope that is readily available for all who will receive it. Hence, this podcast episode -- THE PROMISE: Christ Makes All Things New. 2 Corinthians 1:20 New Living Translation says, 20 “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.” Depend on God: Christ makes all things new Like many of you, I too lost a family member to COVID-19 and it shook me to my core. I also understand how it feels when life in general, throws you a bunch of curve balls. Of course, if I'm being transparent, I got mad at God. Why? Because I didn't understand why He allowed those 'curve balls.' Well, because I am a Christian, I believe what the Holy Bible has to say about troubles. Psalm 34:19 New Living Translation says, “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” For that reason, I choose to trust and depend on God, even when I'm mad about those circumstances. In the grand scheme of things, the problems we face in life, pale in comparison to a glorious eternity with Christ. Trust God’s Word: Christ makes all things new If you have read this far, you may be thinking, "That's all good for you but, how do I know if the Bible is true?" Well, the most important place to start is with the life of Jesus Christ. As a whole, the Bible indeed points to Him. If everything the Bible says about Him is false then it also would be false. And Christianity would hinge on a lie. But let me tell you emphatically, the Holy Bible is the truth. Because Jesus was born, lived, crucified, rose from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the father. Simply put, there are ancient non-biblical, non-Christian, and unfriendly texts that affirm Him. In the final analysis, since what the Bible says about Jesus is true — as far as I am concerned, the entire Bible is true. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } Life, Death, and Eternity: Christ makes all things new Now, whether you choose to believe the Bible or not, there is life after death. With that in mind, you choose where you spend it by the choice you make in life. You either receive Jesus or you don't. Moreover, only those who receive Him will spend eternity with Him. As I mentioned above, life in general, throws us curve balls and that unfortunately is the way it is. But Jesus has promised to make all things new. Thus when Isaiah 43:18-19 New Living Translation says, 18“But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. 19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland,” I believe Jesus. And when Revelation 21:5 New Living Translation says, 5 “And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true,” I believe Jesus. So, if you don't experience it in life, you will, with Him, in eternity. Conclusion Of course, if you want to know more, then this podcast episode is for you.

Justified by LOVE (Grace) — S4 DEp10

9/6/2022
Lady V’s Devotional Episode Roman 5:8-11 Amplified Bible Classic Edition says: “But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ’s blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life. Not only so, but we also rejoice and exultingly glory in God [in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received and enjoy [our] reconciliation.” Roman 5:8-11 Amplified Bible Classic Edition Devotional Sometimes in life, we question God when things don’t turn out the way we planned. And, we can’t see how anything good can come out of a bad situation. Then we sit and wonder if God loves us. We doubt, we make mistakes, and wonder again and again—Does God love me? Truth be told, God has already shown us that our lives matter to HIM and HE loves us! As a matter of fact, not only does God love us but wants a relationship with us. The scripture foretells of the greatest LOVE that came through JESUS, the Son of God, by HIS grace. You see, Jesus’ death on the Cross, HIS burial in the tomb, and HIS resurrection revealed the LOVE of God for us. It didn’t matter what mistakes we would make. Nor did it matter who we were. Jesus went on the Cross for EVERY human life. He was willing to suffer greatly to bring us closer to God. Actually, it was an act of sacrificial love by the shedding of Christ’s Blood for all that would believe. Believers would be justified by grace (which is the unmerited mercy and love of God). LOVE came down to a perishing world and brought deliverance. God’s LOVE, which is grace, came through Jesus. Notably, God’s plan didn’t seem like a VICTORY in the eyes of the world; but, HIS plan of Salvation was necessary. For all that would believe were justified by Jesus on the Cross. It had nothing to do with how good we are BUT how good GOD is!!! Think about what Jesus accomplished. God wanted a relationship with us. And that relationship came through Jesus. Most important—JESUS IS the ONLY WAY to God! It puts things into perspective when we start to wonder if God really loves us. He has proven that already by sending Jesus! God’s LOVE is the greatest love of all. No one else would have sacrificed so much for us. God values us that much! So much so, that HE took the time to make plans for our lives. The Word of God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome (AMPC).” So, when GOD made the plan of Salvation to send HIS Son Jesus to die for you and I—It was a revealing of how much He loves us. HIS LOVE/ HIS Grace through Jesus Christ justified ALL that would BELIEVE in JESUS! Ephesians 2:8 Amplified says, “For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;” Through Jesus, salvation is the greatest gift of LOVE. God has bestowed this free gift upon all that will receive HIS Son. So Beloved, I know life for us can be hard at times. BUT— God IS still thinking about you and what concerns you! God knows the number of hairs on your head Luke 12:7, New Living Translation. Clearly,

In Closing So, if you want to know more, then this podcast episode is for you. Go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post. Or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform. Then get encouraged by joining Lady V and me in our discussion – Grace for the Thorn. Scriptures Referenced in Episode Discussion 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Psalm 23 Hebrews 4:16 John 3:16 Numbers 6:24-26 Romans 10:9-10 Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ Explanation If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus. Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world. And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone. No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell. Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath. Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says, “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift. Scripture Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says, “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Salvation Prayer Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior.

Rest for the Weary– S4 DEp9

5/24/2022
Lady V’s Devotional Episode Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG) says: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG) Devotional Are you loaded down with heavy burdens that tip the scale to –MUCH too MUCH? Do you feel as if you are carrying the weight of the world? One final question—Do you know Jesus as LORD and Savior? In the book of Matthew chapter 11, Jesus makes a call to all those overburdened. He calls to those working hard to meet a goal that’s unattainable by the works of one’s hands. HE makes a call to those that are carrying heavy anxieties that eat away at one’s peace and steals their joy. HE makes a call to those that think they can come up with a bailout plan, yet have no clue where to start. Jesus makes a call to ALL those in need of a SAVIOR. Jesus is saying; Come to Me, and I will give you rest. The message is clear in what Jesus is relaying. Stop going your own way and let ME lead you. Stop carrying the weight of confusion and let ME teach you things you do not know. The load would be much lighter, if you’d stop trying to carry a load that was never meant for you to bear. You see, we are meant to carry some things, but not EVERYTHING. The only ONE that came to bear the heavy weight of the world—is JESUS. Jesus gives REST for the Weary! Jesus came to rescue those in need of a SAVIOR. Jesus supplies what we need! He established righteousness from the Cross by becoming the SAVIOR of the world. He took away the sins of the world by paying the ransom for sin. He took away sin's chains of enslavement—guilt and shame. He took away the burden of trying to achieve perfection when HE was and IS the only PERFECT ONE! Jesus did what no one else could do which was BE the Savior of the world. This is the gospel call to whoever will come to Jesus and receive of HIM by believing—LET HIM COME! Receive Christ’s gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus. Submit to HIS authority and learn from HIM. Build a relationship with Jesus that never ends. Through the power of grace, the grace of God, which is God’s infinite love, salvation came to man. And God’s saving grace was available to help in times of need for those that depend on HIM. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 (GNT), the Word of God says, “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” Beloved, don’t carry those heavy burdens—come to Jesus, (WHO is the PERSON of grace). Let HIM lead you daily, TO and THROUGH the plan of God for your life. The LORD says in Jeremiah 29:11 (GNT); “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.” Beloved, it’s time...it’s time to depend on JESUS! Draw from the ONE who is the LIGHT in the midst of dark times. HE provides Rest for the Weary! Remember, God loves you and HIS grace keeps on saving through HIS Son—JESUS CHRIST! Let’s pray... Heavenly Father, We come to YOU in the Name of Jesus with thanksgiving in our hearts. Father God, we thank YOU for YOUR goodness in our lives. We thank YOU that we can always depend on YOU. Father God, I lift up every believer in Christ, that our dependency will always be upon YOU. And, I pray that every heart of the believer is eagerly awaiting the return of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! Father God, as we go about life from day to day, help us to remember that YOU made the blueprint for our lives. Help us to know that there is not a day that we should allow ourselves to begin without YOU. Instead, help us to trust in the LORD with all our heart and not lea...
