Matthew 2:19-23 The Return Back Home To Israel

Matthew 2:19-23  But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”

21 And he rose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Nevertheless, being warned by God in a dream, he withdrew to the region of Galilee. 23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Joseph took the role as "head of the house" by the horn, and he and his family was divinely directed and protected by God every step of the way.

Where is God calling you to return back to on today? I believe He is calling you to return back to HIM through a personal relationship with Christ Jesus.

It is obedience to the will of God for our lives is where safety, security and provision is made.

It's time to return back Home to God for He is calling you to Him!

God bless.

Luke 2:10 Joy To The World

Luke 2-10 But the angel said to them, “Listen! Do not fear. For I bring you good news of great joy, which will be to all people.

JOY TO THE WORLD!

JOY=chara in the greek and is defined as joy, gladness, a source of joy.

Joy is one of the fruit of the Spirit that comes as a result of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us.  You cannot fake joy for either we have it or we don't.  The source of joy is God. 

The good news of "Jesus" arrival to earth from heaven over 2k years ago just to die to pay our sin debt in full is indeed "GOOD NEWS" to ALL people!

 JOY TO THE WORLD SALVATION HAS COME!  

1 John 1:9-If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Christmas is indeed about the "coming" of our Savior and the "calling" of mankind from around the world to come and experience the "JOY" of the goodness of God that is being offered to the world.

Good news of great "JOY" is being spread abroad in the hearts of men still yet today. Will you be one who will receive that "JOY" also?

The good news of the Gospel awaits you on today if you have ears to hear and a heart to receive what the Spirit is saying to you in this hour.

God bless.

Revelation 3:20 Jesus Is Knocking At The Door

Revelation 3:20 Behold! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

When God says "behold" in this text, He is saying "look, see," there is something I want you to pay attention to.

This text before is a part of the letter that John had written to the church of Laodicea that is described as a lukewarm church. They are neither hot or cold, just lukewarm. Because they chose not to either be hot or cold, God declares that He will "spew them out of His mouth."

Doors are everywhere and are opened either automatically or manually with our hands, body, etc., but they have to be open in order for us to enter therein.

There is also a door to our heart that must be opened also. For some of you, Jesus has been knocking at the door of your hearts for a long time and is still knocking.

The clock of all of our lives are ticking. Everyday we are a day older and a day closer to our death date. Jesus is knocking! Can you hear Jesus knocking and calling out your name? 

Revelation 1:7 Look! He is coming with the clouds. Everyone will see Him, even the ones who stuck a sword through him. All people on earth will weep because of him. Yes, it will happen! Amen.

If you think the world in which we now live is chaotic, crazy and unstable, imagine living in a world where there are no Christians? Well, this is what the world would be like when Christ returns to take away His people. The world will be left in a state of chaos with only the unsaved.

Today is the day to answer the knock at the door of your heart for if you don't, you WILL be left behind when Christ returns.

NO MORE EXCUSES!

Which will it be for you on today? An open door for Christ to enter in and commune with you or a closed door that will keep Him shut out of your heart and keep you shut out of eternity forever?

I urge, beg and plea with you to open up the door of your heart to Christ on today.

Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart in hope that you will open up and let Him in.

God bless.

Hebrews 13:8 He Will Do It Again

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.

The proper name Jesus /ˈdʒiːzəs/ used in the English language originates from the Latin form of the Greek name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), a rendition of the Hebrew Yeshua (ישוע), also having the variants Joshua or Jeshua.

Jesus Christ=The son of God, a person who was both God and man, The Messiah sent by God to save the human race from the sin it inherited through the Fall of Man (Adam) in the garden of Eden.

People of God, one thing you MUST remember in the storms of life and that is the Lord our God is an unchanging God.

As I look back over my life and all the suffering, test, trials, brokenness, fiery furnaces, valley experiences, hard press areas in life that I have experienced and continue to experience, I have found God to be consistent and His Word to be true, regardless of what I may feel, think or fear at the time I went through them or at times continues to go through.

Pain and suffering has shown me that God changes not!  When I was going through, I could not see this in the midst of them because I allowed myself to see doubt and fear in them, but on the other side of suffering called "THROUGH" I now look back and see where I was strengthened in my faith in those test because their purpose was to prepare me for the next that is guaranteed to come with God.

It is in the troubles of our life is where God does His best work in and through us.

Our God is always there for us, He is always dependable and always concerned about us and what we go through. No, He will NEVER fail you nor leave or forsake you.

You may not know when or how, but God is gonna do it again if you could only believe and faint not.

Jesus is the anchor that holds over and over again even in life's fiercest battles and raging seas!

God bless.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Faithful Is Our God

Deuteronomy 7:9  Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with them who love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.

FAITHFUL= "PISTOS" in the greek and is defined as believing, faithful, confiding, trusting, worthy of trust, reliable.

We are reminded in scripture that our God "FAITHFUL" and we can depend upon Him to do just what He says. None of His words will fall to the ground for they all will accomplish what

Hebrews 10:23 Let us firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful..

People of God, "FAITHFUL" is our God! Put not your hope in horses and chariots, but in the in the Lord your God who is faithful to every promise.

Faithful is our God!

Bless you all on today.

Hebrews 4:13 Nothing Is A Secret

Hebrews 4:13 - There is no creature that is not revealed in His sight, for all things are bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Have we convinced ourselves that our innermost secrets are safe with us and no one knows about them? Think again! God knows ALL about us!

We are reminded in scripture that the eyes of the Lord roams throughout the earth. None of our thoughts, actions nor deeds are hidden from God for we stand naked before Him. Yes, he knows every fiber of our being.

Transparency of the heart is hard because self wants to be and often times convince itself that it is in control, but I am learning everyday how to be transparent and I am learning to repent and ask God forgiveness and help in the areas where I find myself not being transparent.

We can hide from man, but not from God for the Word of God declares that God knows ALL about us. He knows the number of hairs on our head, our thoughts before we even think them, when we lie down, when we get up, etc. Yes, the Lord God our creator knows all about us and we can’t hide nothing from Him so we are only deceiving ourselves if we believe otherwise.

Deception is real! We often deceive ourselves and we often attempt to deceive others but God sees the entire picture of who we are inside and out. He alone knows that every human being stands in need of salvation, and for that purpose Christ came to die for us.

Nothing is a secret where God is concerned.! We ALL WILL give an account for our own lives.

What will WE do with what God just said to us today in this text? How will we respond to God’s spoken Word to us?

We do have a choice! We can either expose our hearts to the word and let it change us or we can reject it and be judged by it in the end.

God’s Word is healing medicine. We can daily take a dose of it everyday and get well or we can reject it and remain sick.

Which will the word of God be for you on today? A teacher or a judge? You decide!

Remember, there is no secret where God is concerned.

God bless.

Psalm 40:1 Are You Patient With Others

Psalm 40:1 - I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

Patience! Do you have it? Do you want it? Do you act it out towards others?

If there is one thing we humans know about, that is being impatient. We all are guilty of it to some degree, if we could be honest for a moment.

Being patient will require us to not only consult God, but to patiently wait on Him for our answer, and be encouraged with expectations while we wait on Him.

As humans, we have a tendency to jump ahead of God,. What happens when we do this? We prolong our waiting period. Ask me, I am a witness to having experience this a lot in my life because of impatience, and trying to fix things myself, and not waiting on God. All I got was more frustration, and more time to be patient because God is not moved by our kicking and screaming, but by our faith that is exemplified in patiently waiting on Him. Lol!

Are you short patient right now? Are you tired of waiting on God? Are you tired of being patience with others?

If you answered yes to the above questions, I say this to you, “wait on the Lord” for He will renew your strength, and bring you through the fire without you smelling like smoke! Trust God on today! He knows exactly where we are. Be patient!

God bless you.

Psalm 146:1-2 I Will Sing And Praise The Lord My God

Psalm 146:1-2 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, my soul. 2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

This text before us is a confession from the Psalmist who wrote it. The Psalmist realizes that life is short.

The declaration that the Psalmist is making here is his desire to lift up the Lord in priase and songs while he has breath in his body.

The Psalmist declaration is “I WILL” priase, and “I WILL” sing to the Lord my God, inspite of my circumstances. The Psalmist not only made declaration in his prayer that he will, but he does it right now. No time to wait, life is short, and He is giving God the glory while He has breath in his body.

Is it your desire to praise and lift up the name of Jesus your entire life? Is thiis your will people of God! If so, open your mouth wide right now and make your declration! “I WILL’ sing and praise the Lord my God, and move with action in doing it now. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us! Life is fleeting!

Thank you for enjoying the ride with Jesus here on today.

God bless you all!

Revelations 10:15 Is Your Name In The Book

Revelations 10:15  Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

God has a registry of all those who will spend eternity in heaven with Him. Those who have trusted Christ and followed Him as Lord are those whose names are written in this book will enter heaven according to the word of God.

Jesus, the “Lamb” of God, was born to suffer, bled and die for the sins of all of humanity.

The promise to those whose name is in the “Lamb” book of life is that they WILL inherit eternal life in heaven with God, the Father.

The Lamb who has been “slain from the foundation of the world” has a book in which the names of all those who have been redeemed by His sacrifice are in that book.

The names that are written in the book of life were written before the foundation of the world. How could this be? God is the Sovereign God of the universe. He is Omniscient.

The term "omniscient" derives from Latin roots meaning "all" (omnis) and "knowledge" (scientia), signifying complete knowledge. In reference to  God, this implies that He knows everything that exists or will exist, including the thoughts, actions, and intentions of individuals and the unfolding of all world events. 

Do you have an assurance right now that your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life? If not, it’s not too late as long as you have the breath of life in you.

Seek the Lord while He may be found! Call upon Him while He is near!

God bless you all, and thank you for enjoying the ride here on tonight with Jesus.

2 Corinthians 6:2 It's Time To Repent And Turn To Jesus

2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says:“In an acceptable time I have listened to you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Look, now is the accepted time; look, now is the day of salvation.

There is a "Clarion Call" being made around the world today to every man, woman, boy and girl. Believe it or not, but death will catch many off guard.

The Bible talks about the shortness of life and the uncertainty of the future, highlighting the importance of making a decision promptly.

Today is the day of salvation! No more procrastination! When you hear God's voice, harden not your hearts anymore!

I remind you of two truths concerning this clarion call to salvaiton.

(1) “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, NIV).

(2) For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. ”I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor,now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2, NLT).

Earth is temporary! Are you making preprations to one day meet Jesus? Where do you plan on spending eternity? With God or without HIm? The choice is yours!

Guess what? Everyone of us will give an account of the life we lived either with God or apart from Him. The choice is ours!

I urge you on today to make Jesus your choice! Will you follow Him on today! I have no doubt He is calling you to a personal relationship with Him.

Come to Jesus while you have time! While we still have breath in our bodies!

Ponder here on today. My prayer is that your pondering leads you to a decision of making Christ your Savior on today.

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Rom. 10:9, NIV).

I look forward to hearing your praise reports!

In Christ alone is where our hope is found!

God bless.
