Matthew 11:28-”JESUS” Is Rest For The Weary

Matthew 11:28-Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.[c] 30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

“Come” in this text means to leave what you are doing and start moving towards God through Christ in your heart. 

Jesus is calling you. The invitation is "COME" and bring all your problems, troubles, tears, fears, cares to Him for He alone is a guaranteed place of rest for your weary soul.

There is nothing none of us can do that would merit us a place in eternity. Accepting God by faith through Jesus Christ is the only way.

Jesus' promise to every man, woman, boy and girl on today is if you "COME" to Him, you will find "REST."  That is God's personal promise to you on today.

How will  you respond to the call to "COME"?

If you choose to continue to carry your yoke of bondage and not give it to Jesus, unbelief will cause you to not only remain in bondage, but to remain "RESTLESS" from that unnecessary yoke of bondage to sin that is daily tormenting and weighing you down.

Will you cast your cares on Jesus today? If you do, He promises to not only give us His yoke which is easy, but He also promises to lighten the burden.

Will you do  “COME” to Jesus right now in your heart? If you do, He will save you right now if you would only believe and trust Him.

Are you restless? I know you are! 

"COME" to Jesus just now!

"REST" for your weary soul awaits your obedience.

'COME" now for Jesus is calling you.

Love is waiting, mercy is waiting, joy is waiting, peace is waiting for you. "COME TO JESUS!

GOD BLESS.

Isaiah 5:20 WOE UNTO YOU

Isaiah 5:20- Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who exchange darkness for light and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and cleaver or smart in their own sight!

The one who chooses evil over good, bitterness over sweetness will experience the painful consequences of their choices and the one who chooses "God' s truth and sweetness" will experience His good pleasure. 

The people of Judah, who were in exile, to whom Isaiah is preaching, have rebelled against God and refused to get right with Him. They rejected truth and accepted a lie as truth.

"WOE" to the people and nations that calls evil actions good, those who exchange light for dark and those who exchange sweet for bitter. Those who are wise in their own eyes, those whose finite minds are puffed up with a a high opinion of their own wisdom and despise the counsel and instructions of God.

Are we at this place in America in our relationship with God? "WOE" to us if we are.

The time to come back to Jesus is now! We are being called to no longer live in a state of a hardened heart and willful sin and rebellion against God.

America, no more living according to what is right in our own eyes for now is the time to live our lives according to God's truth that is written in His Word.

America, God is calling us back to Him and His way of life and living. 

It is my heart's  prayer that we as a nation will accept God's truth on today for scripture declares that if we do not, "WOE UNTO US"!

God bless.

Psalm 96:1-13 O Sing Unto The Lord Always

Psalm 96:1-13 O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth! 2 Sing unto the Lord, bless His name; declare His salvation from day to day. 3 Proclaim His glory among the nations His wonders among all peoples.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 Give unto the Lord, O families of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 8 Give unto the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts. 9 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth. 10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! Indeed, the world is established; it shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.”

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; 12 let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; then all the trees of the forests shall rejoice 13 before the Lord, for He comes, for He comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with His faithfulness

O sing unto the Lord our God a new song, always.

God bless.

Luke 15:11-32 It Is Time To Come Home

I believe that God is trying to reach the heart of someone out there who is in desperate need of His love. Someone who feels as though they are at the end of their rope and can not take on anymore of the issue and stresses of life alone. If this is you, God is calling you! He is sending forth the call of "REDEMPTION" for you if you would believe and receive it.

Everyday, for the past week, The Holy Spirit has given me messages of "Salvation" and I am being obedient to what He gives me to write.

God's messages are with urgency to man, women, boys and girls around the world. 

Today' message is no exception for Jesus is again calling the lost to come home on today in this parable of the prodigal son.

This parable is a picture of "REDEMPTION." A picture of God the Father and "sinners."

A picture of God's love that heals, restores and reconcile us back to God as if we never left.

Luke 15:11-32 11 Then He said, “A man had two sons. 12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that falls to me.’ So he divided his estate between them.

13 “Not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together, and journeyed to a distant country, and there squandered his possessions in prodigal living. 14 When he had spent everything, there came a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in want. 15 So he went and hired himself to a citizen of that county, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 He would gladly have filled his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.

17 “When he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have an abundance of bread, and here I am perishing with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ 20 So he arose and came to his father.

“But while he was yet far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and embraced his neck and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. And put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet. 23 Bring here the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry. 24 For this son of mine was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ So they began to be merry.

Many today have left God for the world, but God is calling you back home. Yes, it is time to come back to the Father.

Like the prodigal son in this text who came to his "senses", it is time for you to do the same.

Regardless of how many pig pens you may have wallowed in, regardless of how far you may have gone in sin, if you confess your sins to Him, God is faithful and just to forgive you. He is willing and able to reconcile you back to Him through Christ.

Today is the day to leave the "far country called the world and all it's pleasures" and come back home to the Father. Your "REDEMPTION' awaits you there.

Yes, it is time to come back home.

God bless.

Isaiah 43:2 Travel Companion

Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle on you.

Which road is your mind traveling on this morning? is it a road full of worry, stress, uncertainty, confusion, sickness, anger, tears, hurt, pain, regrets, wishes, sorrow or sadness?

On your walk in life, has the enemy tired to convince you that God has left you?

We know God's word declares that He will never leave us nor for sake us but He will be with us always even unto the end.

Where are you on today in the test and trials of life? Does the road ahead looks hopeless and helpless?

Remember the 3 Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace? Remember Daniel in the Lion's den? Remember the children of Israel standing at the read sea? Remember Job in the death of his children and sickness in his body? 

Well, God delivered them and He is able to deliver us too. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever.

Regardless of what you suffer, GOD IS WITH YOU!

Psalm 46:1-God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

People of God, the Lord our God knows what He is doing. Unfortunately, pain and suffering is one of the vehicles that God uses to conform us to the likeness of His son.

Whatever road you are traveling people of God, you must know without a doubt that "GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING"!

When we accepted Jesus Christ by faith as our Savior, Christ agreed to be our "travel companion."  He coordinated all the travel arrangements on our journey of life ahead of time and He intends to travel with us throughout our entire trip from earth to eternity. 

In the valley of despair? God is there! He will not leave you there! TRUST HIM ON TODAY!

God bless.

Proverbs 12:25- A Good Word

Proverbs 12:25-Heaviness in the heart of man makes it droop, but a good word makes it glad.

A good Word! Is there one on your lips today? There is one in the Word of God that is able to cheer up and make glad the heavy hearts of mankind.

Words are important for they can either produce good or evil. They can either hurt or heal, comfort, uplift, tear down, mislead or redirect.

Everyone of us is responsible for the words that comes out of out mouth, be it good or evil over ourselves or others.  

The call today is to "encourage one another" for we all could use some encouragement at times. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Words can either build up or tear down. What we say can either lift up or tear down.

As Christians, we are being called to speak "good words" that build up our sisters and brothers and not those that tears them down.

The best words of all are what we call the "GOOD NEWS", the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the Word of God that causes us to encourage, exhort and edify each other. It is the word of God that sustains us.

A kind word of hope spoken to a hurting heart cost us nothing, therefore when the opportunity presents itself, we MUST do it!

We are reminded in this text that our words can have positive or negative affect in the lives of those we encounter on a daily basis.

Proverbs 18:21-Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

A good word! Do you have one to share on today? I have no doubt for the pages of the Bible is full of them.

A Good Word! Share it today for the lost, wounded in heart and contrite in spirit need to hear what God is saying to them in this hour in which we live.

Proverbs 2:13-To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

Remember, a "GOOD WORD" makes the heart happy and not heavy.

God bless.

Psalm 106:1 THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE

Psalm 106:1-Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,  for His mercy endures forever.

The Psalmist call us to a triumphant cry of " THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE" unto the Lord our God.

As Israel was called to give thanks unto the Lord back then for all He had done for them in delivering them from Egypt, parting the red sea, etc, we too as God's people are being called to give thanks unto our God on today also for indeed He has been good and merciful to us too.

The Lord our God deserves our praise for He has done marvelous things for all of us. He has delivered us from the snares of the enemy over and over again and He is still keeping us today.

It is the Lord God who has made us and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Therefore, we MUST enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks unto Him for the Lord our God is good and His love, mercy and faithfulness towards us endures forever.

Praise the Lord our God people of God.  Great, Mighty and Excellent is His name in all the earth!

God's love and everlasting mercy is available to all who would receive it by faith.

Render unto the Lord our God what is not only due to Him, but, also what He deserves.

People of God, open wide your mouth and lift up the name of the Lord our God! Share your testimony of His goodness with someone on today.

Hallelujah!!!! Glory to Your name Lord!

THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU LORD!

We praise your name Lord for you are worthy of all of our praises!

WE LOVE YOU LORD!

Romans 8:18- THERE WILL BE "JOY" AFTER THIS

Romans 8:18- For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.

Apostle Paul addresses this letter to Jewish and Gentile Christians at the churches in Rome. These Christians were not only discouraged but many of them who had been scattered abroad from their home town of Jerusalem were still being persecuted because of their faith in Christ.

Suffering? Every human being will drink from the cup of suffering, saved or unsaved.

Yes, there WILL be "GLORY AFTER THIS"

Are you suffering and sad on this morning? Has the test and trials of life caused you to want to quit on God? Don't do it! Press your way through for great is your reward in heaven my brothers and sisters.

God bless you all as you glory in the promise from your God to you on today that there will be "JOY" after this.

Matthew 5:9 PEACEMAKERS

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

This text is a part of Jesus "Sermon on the Mount." Also known as the "Beatitudes" which is a declaration of "blessedness" spoken by Jesus.

Jesus says "blessed are the "peacemakers."

Peace-Shalom in Hebrew. Harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye.

Peace is more than just the absence of conflict. It has a lot to do with our day to day relationship with one another also, be it people or nations.

Peace just does not happen on it's own. It has to be desired and then acted upon.

What the world needs now is "peace" with God and the peace of God.

As Christians, we are called to be "peacemakers " and not confusion or trouble makers.

Peacemakers are not only "blessed", but they are also called the "children of God." Oh, what a breath of fresh air and a sigh of relief these words bring to those of us who were once alienated from God with a spirit of unrest and no peace, but are now reconciled back to Him through Christ Jesus.

Because of what Christ did for us in reconciling us back to God, we should put forth every effort at every opportunity to make peace with one another.

Are you at odds or war with someone? Do you want peace between you and them? It has to start with you!

Being a peacemaker is much more than the absence of war, or being “against war.” It is the presence of God's love in the midst of hate and evil.

 Peace isn’t just tolerating each other. Peace is about recognizing ourselves in others. Peace is about realizing that we are ll in the battle of life together.  Peace is about recognizing the need for each other.

If you daily make the choice as a child of God to be a "peacemaker" Jesus says you are not only blessed, but you shall be called a "child of God" who seeks the good for all through loving people as Christ has loved you.

Is Jesus describing you when He says "blessed are the peacemakers?

Where do you stand concerning peace in your relationship with others?

God bless.

Psalm 27:13-14 Through It All

Psalm 27:13-14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

David had a choice to either believe the giants in his life that he was facing or to trust God and take Him at His Word. David chose to trust God for he said in vs#13- I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

David had history with God. He spent time with God starting from a young boy, therefore, by faith David was able to see the hands of God working on his behalf and in the midst of danger.

David's life was not trouble free and neither will yours or mine be. The key is  "faith" in God.

Through it all, David learned to trust in God and to take Him at His Word. We must do to the same!

Everyone of us can look back over our lives and see the things that we have gone through and how God not only strengthen us in them, but he brought us through them all.

People of God, my words to you on today is this "THROUGH IT ALL" put your faith and trust in God for He alone is the one who can shelter you in your time of trouble in His secret place.

Are the storms of your life raging? What are you gonna do about it? 

1 Peter 1:7-These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. 

I spent years allowing the enemy to torment my mind, but once I realized that God was for me and not against me, I purposed in my heart that "THROUGH IT ALL" I WILL trust God and take Him at His Word."

THROUGH IT ALL! I have learned to trust in God and to depend upon His Word.

Is this your testimony on today also?

God bless.
