In 1 John 4:4 it says greater is He meaning God in us then anyone that is in the World.  According to Jeremiah 29:11 God has great plans for us and desires the best for us, this means that God will not harm us, or as in Hebrews 13:5 He will not leave us or forsake us.  According to Philippians 4:19 our God is a loving God and according to His faithfulness He will provide for your needs.  Once again we need to remember that God has never left us and will never forsake us.

I feel God is calling us these last days not to be ignorant.  That we might study his message and keep His words in our hearts.  We as Christians should not have confidence in the body but in the spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord.  For the body is sinful and weak but the spirit of God is righteous and strong.  If God is in us and we are in this World we still should not be of this World.  We being dead to this World and to sin should serve God in spirit and in truth.  Having joy in times of trouble that the power of God might be upon us.  Knowing that the joys and sorrows of life are for a short time but God is forever and God will never let us down.

Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 (NIV), “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” I think God wants us to have a child like faith in our walk with Him. Often, children are quick to believe and strong in their beliefs. God desires for us to have an unwavering faith. We should be humble like a child and have faith like a child. Jesus said Heaven belongs to those who are humbled like a child.

We learn in the Book of Acts that Paul the Apostle saw a vision of Jesus while he was on the road to Damascus. In Acts 9:27 it says, Paul “…declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.”. We do not know if Paul saw Jesus in the flesh during His earthly ministry but we do know that He had a strong faith in Jesus and had a vision of seeing Him. Paul would have known the law super well and for someone like Him to repent and believe in Jesus shows that anyone can stop their hatred towards God and embrace Christ.

Jesus has sympathy for us and our struggles. The Bible tells us that Jesus, “…was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. – Hebrews 4:15”. Jesus is God and the only way to be saved and nowadays Jesus calls all to believe in Him, accept Him and be saved. Acts 17:30 says, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. – John 17:3”. Praise God that Jesus came to earth, died for our sins, rose from the dead and bridged the gap between God and people. Amen

Jeremiah 29:11 teaches God has a plan for me and created humans with purpose and because of that it helps define the reason that I have purpose in my life. I feel refreshed by the fact that God created me also in His image and that He has plans and a future for me. God is great and I understand that He indeed knows the end and the beginning. I feel that before I was born God already had a plan for me just like He had a plan for His creation to give glory to Him. God has helped redefine the magnificence of His presence in my life and His awesome power and the fact that He has control over my life. I find myself now reaching out more to God so that He can accomplish His will in my life and I feel that God has greater plans for me then that which I can’t even begin to perceive or understand.

The Bible teaches us in Genesis that God created heaven and the earth. Jesus and Heavenly Father & Holy Spirit are described as moving upon the face of the earth or waters. God sets into order the laws of the universe, the sun to rise and the sun to go down and creates all the plants. Then finally God makes humans in “His own image”. People in the beginning were created perfect and like Heavenly Father. We fell from perfection when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. The good news is that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to the earth to atone for our sins. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. – 1 Corinthians 15:22”. Amen

Isaiah predicts the birth of the Messiah. “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. – Isaiah 7:14”. Jesus is the Messiah that came to save people from their sins. The prediction of a Kingdom of God on earth is the prediction that the Messiah will come again and restore all things to perfection as in the beginning. Genesis 3:15 says, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”. That is a prophecy made in the beginning that Jesus would come and have victory over the snake that is satan. Jesus is eternal life. “Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. – John 6:58”.

We are saved by God’s grace and there is nothing we can do to justify ourselves before God, besides believing in Jesus. Romans 3:20 God makes it clear that we are not saved by obeying the law but instead by the blood of Christ. Christ is the only way to Heaven, and He saves those that accept Him. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; – 1 Timothy 2:5”. Romans 10:9 says, “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.”.

Romans 3:9 tells us that everyone has sinned both the Jews and the Gentiles.  Romans 3:23 goes on to say that “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.  This is an important fundamental truth that I believe is very important that we realize because we must confess to God that we have sinned when we accept Jesus.  “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. – Romans 10:9-10”. If we were to say that we are sinless then we would deny the need for the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.  However, when we do admit to God that we have sinned he hears us and forgives us of our sins.
