I KNOW THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH SALVATION. WHAT I MEAN IS THAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS BUT YOU ARE AFRAID TO STEP OUT IN THE ISLE AT CHURCH AND GO DOWN FRONT TO THE ALTER. I KNOW BECAUSE WHEN I WAS YOUNG, THAT WAS ME. I LOVED JESUS SO MUCH AND WANTED HIM AS MY SAVIOR BUT THOUGH I HAD TO BE IN A CHURCH TO DO IT.

Although God was referred to as our Father in the Old Testament, Jesus' frequent use of this title brought a whole new understanding of our relationship with God. Jesus...
BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT EASY. SATAN'S DEMONS ARE ATTACKING US AT ALL TIMES. I KNOW WE SAY THAT IT IS SATAN BUT SATAN CAN'T BE AT ALL PLACES AT ALL TIMES. HE IS NOT LIKE JESUS. HOWEVER, HE HAS HIS DEMONS DOING HIS BIDDING AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR. IT TAKES DISCIPLINE TO BE A CHRISTIAN. WE ARE NEW CREATURES IN JESUS AND WE SHOULD ACT LIKE IT. THIS IS WHAT IT TELLS US IN 2ND CORINTHIANS 5:17 WHERE IT SAYS...
Luke 22:42 "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."
Jesus knew it was the Father's will for Him to be made an offering for the sins of the world. This is true because He prophesied His death and resurrection many times before. However, because of His...
I KNOW I HAVE MENTIONED BEING HEALED OF BEING ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT I TELL IT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IF I CAN HELP JUST ONE PERSON, IT IS WORTH WRITING ABOUT IT AGAIN. FOR YOU THAT KNOW AND HAVE HEARD THESE THINGS, PLEASE BARE WITH ME.
John 17:24 "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."
God the Father had the plan of salvation worked out before He even created the world. Most of us would not have...
ISN'T IT GREAT TO KNOW THAT GOD HAS THOUGHTS OF PEACE TOWARD US. THAT IS WHAT JEREMIAH 29:11 SAYS, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." JUST TO THINK THAT THE GOD OF THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE, THE ONE WHO CREATED US AND EVERYTHING, THINKS ABOUT US. WHEN READING THIS, WE HAVE TO REALIZE THIS WAS HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE JESUS, OUR LORD, WAS EVEN...
John 17:23 "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."

I AM GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT I AM NOT AT ALL PROUD OF. SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIME BACK, WHEN I WOULD GO TO CHURCH, I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF THERE. I HAD THINGS TO DO LIKE GOING FISHING OR GETTING READY FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME OR JUST ANYTHING. IF SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT WAS PREACHED, THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM. THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."
Jesus is praying for all believers to be one as He and the Father are one.
