Luke 22:19- Remember Me

Luke 22:19- Then He took the bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

It's time to head out to the Lord's house!

This is the day of remembrance of what Jesus did for us over 2k years in giving His life as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. A day of fellowship in "Communion" with God and the people of God.

Today is also a day of remembrance and thanksgiving to Christ for saving us from the wrath of sin by way of salvation through faith in God's atoning work at Calvary for the remission of our sins.

Remember me!

Remember how I fed the hungry, healed the sick, blind and lame. Remember the words of God that I taught you and the example I set before you,  remember how I was rejected, falsely accused, mocked, whipped and bean just for you, but most of all, remember the sacrifice I made in leaving my home in glory, putting on flesh and coming to earth just to die so that you might live.

Remember me!

Remember how I suffered, bled and died for your sins.

 This is how we remember what Jesus did for us. As we eat the bread, we should remember how Jesus was broken, pierced, and beaten with stripes for our redemption. As we drink the cup, we should remember that His blood, His life was poured out on Calvary for us.

I pray that today is the day of all days that you would find the desire and strength to make it out to the Lord's house  and share in remembrance of what He has done for each of us individually in offering His life as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

Remember me! I was the one who died so that you could go free. How could you not remember me?

REMEMBER ME! This is the shout from heaven to earth on today.

Jesus is looking forward to fellowship with you on today among the people of God.

Remember Jesus on today by your presence at His table of sacrifice.

God bless.

TODAY, NOVEMBER 11TH IS DEBRA AIKEN 59th BIRTHDAY

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you were born I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Today is my birthday and I thank God for allowing me to see 59 years of age.

I have had ups and downs, good times and bad times, sad times and happy times.  I have suffered pains and sorrows, disappointments, rejection and persecution.  

Yes, I have been in the storm, through the fire and flood, tossed at sea, rejected, persecuted, talked about, lied on, etc., but through it all God kept me and I still have a praise inside of me that is down in my soul.

Thank You Lord for yet another year to be alive and among the living.

Thank You Lord for carrying me through.

Isaiah 55:6-7 Now Is The Time To Seek A Personal Relationship With God

Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Today is the day of salvation and NOW is the acceptable time!

If there ever was a time to seek a personal relationship with God the Father through Christ Jesus, the time is NOW.

The time in which we live is perilous and the days are evil. We need the Lord!

Put not off for tomorrow what you can do today for tomorrow is promised to no man. We do not know what tomorrow holds, but while it is yet TODAY, I beg and plea with you to enter into a personal relationship with God.

The command today is to 'SEEK THE LORD" while He MAY be found. Let the wicked forsake His ways and evil thoughts and turn to God for it is God alone who is able to show you mercy and forgiveness.

Seek the Lord while He may be found! This tells me that a time is coming when you will seek Him and not find Him. Remember Noah and the ark?

Many perish because of rejection of God's truth He spoke through His servant Noah. Do not let this happen to you!

Matthew 6:33-But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.

Believe it or not, but the words of this text is the best news you will ever hear in your lifetime.

Yes, the world has a lot of sooth sayings, but trust me, there is no greater news than the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST! It is the Gospel that has the power unto salvation. It is the Gospel that sustains, guides, lead and directs our path through the Holy Spirit. It is the Gospel that will last from everlasting to everlasting when everything has failed or perish.

Seek the Lord means seeking His "presence" on today. Seeking to know Him as your Lord and Savior through Christ for there is no other name given in heaven or earth by which man can be saved than that of the name of Jesus.

The world in which we lives says  "seek things", but God says "SEEK ME"!

Is God calling you to seek Him on today? What are you gonna do about it?

Are you in need of mercy and forgiveness on today? Jesus is it! SEEK HIM!

God bless.

Mark 14:36 My Soul Says Yes

Mark 14:36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”

These profound words were quoted by Jesus in the garden of gethsemane prior to going to the cross to die for the sins of humanity. 

Jesus was and still is our example of surrender to the will of God the Father for our lives. He surrendered fully to the plans of His Father for His life.

When Jesus said "not my will, but thy will be done", He was saying "my soul says "YES."

Jesus was in the garden and headed to the "CROSS" and you are headed to the Sanctuary this morning.

What is your response when you get there? Will it be "my soul says yes to Your will"? What will be your answer to Jesus on today as you fellowship and worship in His house on today?

Debra's soul says "YES" to the will of God for her life.

"MY SOUL SAYS YES" means trusting God in spite of what I see or may be fearful of, following Him as His sheep as He leads us, obeying what He says in His Word, even if it makes you look like a fool to those around you.

Psalm 86:11-Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I will walk in Your truth; bind my heart to fear Your name.

Does your soul says "YES" on today?

 MY SOULS SAYS "YES"! This is what the Lord is listening to hear from us on today when we enter to praise and worship Him on today.

Thank you Lord for You alone know the plans you have for me. Your words declares that If I abide in you, then you will abide with me.

Father, use your people on today for your will and your glory!

Thank You Lord for my soul says 'YES"!

Hebrew 12:2 Who Or What Have You Fixed Your Eyes On

When the Holy Spirit awaken me this morning, I rise with a burden on my heart for God's People. I heard the Spirit of the Lord said to me these words "encourage my people" because they are loosing sight of Me based on what they see happening in the world and in their lives," so here is what the Spirit gave me for you on today.

Hebrews 12:2 Let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

We are living in a time where people are distracted by so many things. As the saints of old would say "if it ain't one thing, it's another"!

The call today is to "FIX" our thoughts on Jesus, God's Son who knows all about us and everything we deal with on a daily basis and will deal with in the future. He sees and knows all things! Nothing passes Him for it is with His permission that all things concerning us pass through His hands and comes our way.

Who or what are you looking at? Ask yourself this question. Are you looking at the circumstances of your life that are contrary to the Word of God? Is your focus on when, why, how, where, what if's? is this where you have decided to fix your mind's thoughts?

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;In all our ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths.

Let your spirit guide us as your Word abide in our hearts and mind Lord so that we may be able to finish our course.

Speak to our  hearts Holy Spirit!

Thank You Lord!

Matthew 2:13-15 Divine Protection

Matthew 2:13-15 Now when they departed, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and escape to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word. For Herod will seek the young Child to kill Him.”

14 When he rose, he took the young Child and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt, 15 and remained there until the death of Herod, to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, “Out of Egypt I have called My Son.

This text is a picture of the Power and Wisdom of the "Sovereign" God of the universe. Here we see God's "Divine Providence" and God's "Divine Protection" of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

God divinely protects His own, even through the test and trials that He may allow to come in our lives. Even in those difficult situations, painful circumstances and hard places in life, God is still in control and directing our paths.

God is forever with us through His Holy Spirit. He is constantly giving us the much needed strength and endurance to continue on in faith with the knowledge and assurance of His everlasting presence with us.

People of God, "STAY IN THE WILL OF GOD" for your life and He will divinely direct and protect you too.

Protection from Heaven! This is what God not only offers, but He PROVIDES for those who belongs to Him.

God bless.

Psalm 119:169-David's Prayer For Help To His God

Psalm 119:169 - Let my cry come near before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your word.

As one who seems to be in desperation of God's undivided attention on his behalf, we find David in this text crying out  to the Lord His God in fervent prayer.

David's prayer of mercy to God is a personal cry (petition) for God to not only hear his prayer, but that God would give him understanding through discernment  of His Word. 

God's Word is the standard of our faith as Christians. We need His Word every minute and every hour of everyday because the days in which we now live are perilous and evil.

Give me You Lord for everything else can wait! Is this your cry unto the Lord your God on today?

The plea to God in this verse is, “SAVE ME (deliver me) ACCORDING to YOUR WORD.” Apart from your WORD, I am lost.

What is you plea to God on today? I can only hope and pray it is the same as David's prayer: "Save me according to Your Word"!

God bless.

1 John 2:15-17 Love Not The World, But Love The Lord Thy God And Live

John 2:15-17- Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them. 16-For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. 17-The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 

"THE GREAT WAR" IS THE SPIRIT VERSES THE FLESH"

Do you love the world and all it's pleasures? The command today is to love not the world for the world and all it's desires and pleasures are temporary.

The world here does not reference the physical world but the world of sin and evil. That part of the world which is influenced by satan and is therefore not pleasing in the eyes of God.

The 3 things that makes us the world in which we are commanded not to love is (1) the lust of the flesh (2) the lust of the eyes and (3) the pride of life which does not come from God the Father, but from the world which satan dominates.

When we love the world, it is impossible to love God. Scripture declares in Matthew 6:24-No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Jesus Himself declares the greatest command is to love God first. Let's listen to Matthew 22:36-37-Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

Love not the world, but love the Lord thy God! Why? He loved us, even yet while we were sinners. That's love!

The choice is yours to make on today. Which have you chosen? 

Let us all heed the warning from John on today and choose not the love of the world, but choose to love God in word and deeds.

Love not the world, but love the Lord thy God and live!

God bless.

Matthew 16:26 What Is Your Soul Worth?

Matthew 16:26 -For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

What is your soul worth? This is the question that Jesus has put before every man, woman, boy and girl on today that must be answered. 

The Soul! It is the most valuable possession you will ever have in life. What value have you placed on yours? 

Why is the soul so valuable? The soul in the part of us that will forever live throughout all of eternity. Before God created man He said “let us make man in our own image. “God took dust from the earth, created a man and blew breath into his nostrils and he became a living soul” (Gen. 2:7)  The Hebrew word for soul is nephesh. It is the soul of humanity that will live forever

If we view the worth of our soul from God's view and not our own, we will better understand the true value of our soul and why it is important that we do not exchange it for the world and all it’s pleasures.

What have you given in exchange for your soul? What is your soul worth? Humm! Marinate on this today.

God bless and I love you all.

John 4:28-30 There is Hope

John 4:28-30 The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the city and came to Him.

HOPE=elpis in the greek and is defined as hope, expectation, trust, confidence.

It was in Samaria where a hopeless woman needed hope and Jesus knew that, therefore, he went there that day and ended up staying 2 days to not only give her hope, but to offer hope to all that thirst in her town also.

Perhaps you have spent years of your life in pursuit of hope through all that the world has to offer and even yet today you still find yourself coming up empty and hopeless every time because the world's fix for hope only last a little while and then you find yourself in need of it again with the same results afterwards of hopelessness.

What desperate measures have you taken in pursuit of your fulfillment of your thirst for hope? How far have you gone in your pursuit? Is it to a place where you cried out for Christ?

She had pursued one bad choice and one sinful relationship after another which caused her to be separated from God and the people in her community because they did not want to have anything to do with her. In their eyes she wore the title of one with a bad reputation. Thank God Jesus does not see as man sees.

Jesus did not tell her about her past as a means of belittling her, but to make her aware that the hope that she had been in pursuit of is right there before her. There is no need to look any further for He is the only One who can turn a life around from being hopeless to giving one hope.

Do you feel that all hope is gone? Does the struggles of life seems to be not worth it anymore to you? Are you in search of hope on today? Perhaps you are! 

What well are you dipping from to find hope? Drawing from any well other than the well of Christ will forever leave you thirsty and hopeless.

Today, people are still going to wells seeking something that will satisfy their inner thirst, hope, discouragement, uncertainty and despair.

No other well can fill the thirst of hopelessness. Jesus is the answer!

Still thirsting for a well of hope? Try Jesus! 

God bless.
