1 Peter 2:24 teaches us that, “…by whose stripes ye were healed.” One might then ask, what does that mean? It means that through the floggings and beatings, (death, resurrection too) sufferings of Christ we have been saved. Jesus was beaten then crucified, then rose from the dead. It is through the sufferings and death of Christ we are “healed” of our sinful nature and given a chance to live a life of freedom and sin less than we do now. God has provided a way to be united with Him, through Jesus which is the only way to be saved. How does salvation come? It comes through faith, admitting we are sinners and allowing Christ to live in our hearts through the Holy Spirit as “..without faith it is impossible to please him…(Hebrews 11:6)” God is now asking (Acts 17:30) all people everywhere to repent and believe in Him. You, can pray to Jesus ask Him in your heart and accept His death and resurrection. He died for you, he loves you and will give you salvation as a free gift just open your heart to Him. God Bless.

According to John 11:9 if you walk with Jesus then you are the light of this World.  Jesus is perfect, and cares about each and everyone of us.  We should follow God with a willing heart and always remember that God is a loving God. Amen

1 John 4:4 tells us that the Power of God in us is stronger than the power or force of anyone or anything 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. I’m thankful that God is good and provides for the needs of His people. Amen

We as people need to give our lives to the Lord, Jesus.  Jesus is a caring spirit.  He cares about each and every one of our lives.  His judgments are always full of compassion.  When God looked down from Heaven He saw your future.  He loves you and if you would have been the only one He still would have died for you.  God loves us so much that He made himself the Son of Man so that we could be called the Sons of God.  If God is in you then you will prevail over all the challenges and obstacles in your life.

We should know that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. Salvation is possible for everyone that is saved.  There will be tough times, life will be hard and again I say nothing is for sure (only salvation through Jesus is guaranteed).  However, with God you can endure, and live forever in His kingdom.  His word is living and even now among us God’s power is active; changing lives and touching souls.  God is healing the sick, and freeing sinners from hell and inviting them into the Kingdom of His Dear Son Jesus Christ.  So let us all rejoice in the Lord and give glory to God for His power and mercy which is upon us.  The same God and only God who rose Jesus from the grave will raise us up when Jesus comes again.  We will meet Jesus in the air, and go to live in the New Earth called, New Jerusalem for one thousand years.  Then we will go up into Heaven to live with the Father forever. Amen

In the last days we all need to keep watch and pray. Jesus may in fact come soon and these might be the latter days. We should give thanks and glory to God in all things. Surely the Earth will be judged by God and the devil will tempt many and many will suffer because of Him. Especially those that don’t obey God and take upon themselves the mark of the beast. Those who trust in God and know that His judgments are truly righteous can overcome the evil of those days. Then those who have kept the faith, “the Christians” will later go to live on the New Earth called “New Jerusalem” which will come down from Heaven. They will live in New Jerusalem for a thousand years. Jesus will be their king and He will rule the Earth and nations will never again fight against each other neither will they learn war any more. When the thousand years with the Lord Jesus on Earth have ended they will then go up to Heaven. There they will live with the Father in His kingdom for ever. My heart rejoices in the Lord and I am thankful for the rewards of those that trust in Him. I myself am fully persuaded that my faith will not come to an end. I will overcome those things not through my power but through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in whom I have put my trust. Surely if I have put my faith in a faithful, just, merciful and righteous God I will not be let down. I also hold in my heart the fact that even when I am unrighteous God is still righteous and if I repent He is faithful and just to forgive my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Amen

I feel God is calling us to not be ignorant and to fully trust in Him. We should 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. Amen

God shows mercy and blesses those that seek Him.  According to Hebrews 11:6 God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.  We all need to focus our hearts and our passion on Christ and the Glory of His Gospel.  We need to realize that God is coming soon to bring a New Heaven and a New Earth called Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven Revelation 3:12 says this and also says ” I will write upon him my new name”.  This describes the responsibility of God’s government in giving each person a new name. Obadiah 1:17 says that the kingdom will be the Lord’s.  According to Forerunner Commentary, “When God resurrects us into His Kingdom, He will give us names to designate our existence, nature, and responsibility in the Kingdom. We are assured of carrying God’s own name if we overcome sin. What a tremendous reward to bear His name for all eternity!”  Wouldn’t it be great to overcome sin.  The only way to overcome sin is through the blood of Jesus Christ and His mercy which he has upon those who He has saved.  We all need to reflect upon life and allow the spirit of the Lord to work within us so that we can become more and more like Him and reflect on His glory even more.   We need to always remember that our God is a mighty God.  God is a God of miracles and with Him all things are possible.  Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

We need to have faith and trust in God deeply. Rely on God and He will open doors in your life. God will give you strength through every pain and every sorrow in your life. God’s power is not in the natural it’s in the supernatural. Without Christ you are weak but in Him you are strong. We all run a race called life God will bring you to the finish-line ahead of Satan. God loves me and you with an everlasting love. He loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die in our place. It is through Him we are blessed with the gift of eternal life. I’m thankful for that. Amen

We need to all count on the Lord every day for renewed strength. Jesus is powerful and able to overcome all things. God will not let us down. God is faithful even when we are not. We should always trust in God so that He can give us the desires of our hearts. God’s spirit is working throughout the earth and the times we live in now might well be the latter days. Jesus could come back anytime!  Satan will be utterly destroyed after the return of Christ.  God will bring a renewed and restored earth. We need to wait just a short time for Christ and then our joys will last forever.  A famous person once said, “Great things come to those who wait.”  I have begun to realize this and that we as watchmen for Jesus should always be patient.  God is also waiting to save more souls and give more opportunities for people to get into His Kingdom. Luck 11:2 says, “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Amen
