I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT THREE WITH THIS MESSAGE ON MY MIND. I FELT THAT THE LORD WAS TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED TO FIND THIS MESSAGE AND RE-POST IT. I FOUND IT ON INDIE GOSPEL CHRISTIAN NETWORK AS I HAD POSTED IT ON THEIR WEB SITE. SO, HERE IT IS AGAIN AND I PRAY THAT WHOEVER THE LORD WANTS TO SEE THIS, THEY WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS AND BE HEALED.
What Pleases God
June 18th
John 8:56 'Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.'
JOHN 8:53-56
Jesus is referring to the day when men would be justified by putting faith in God and not in their own works. Abraham had this truth revealed to him (Rom. 4:13), and he believed it and was himself justified by faith (Rom. 4:3-4, 9).
Hebrews 11:6 says, 'But without faith it is impossible to please him.' It was Abraham's faith that pleased God. The Lord promised Abraham that his seed would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore and Abraham believed God. That pleased Him so much that he counted Abraham righteous right then, even though Abraham had...
The Old Man Is Gone
June 17th
John 8:44 'Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.'
JOHN 8:39-47
All of us were born in sin and were therefore 'by nature' the children of the devil. That's the reason we sinned. Our sins don't corrupt our nature, but our corrupt nature makes us sin. That's why we must be 'born again' and become new creatures (or a new creation) in Christ.
The scriptures teach that everyone was born with a sin nature or old man. For the Christian, the old man is...
BEFORE I GET STARTED THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. I HOPE YOUR DAY WILL BE BLESSED WITH ALL OUR KIDS BEING WITH YOU OR AT LEAST CALLING YOU AND WISHING YOU GOOD TIDINGS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Abraham's Children
June 16th
John 8:37 'I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.'
JOHN 8:33-38
The Jewish people were direct descendants of Abraham. However, as with so many biblical truths, there was much more to the Abrahamic covenant than what a casual glimpse would reveal. In truth, these Jews were not actually a part of the spiritual children of Abraham.
The Holy Spirit revealed through the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:16 and 29 that God's covenant was to Abraham and his singular 'seed' or descendant, which was Christ. No one ever became an heir of God's promises through his natural birth. Before Jesus gave Himself as an offering for our...
DO YOU REMEMBER THE PARABLE IN LUKE 18 ABOUT THE UNJUST JUDGE AND THE WIDOW WHO CONTINUALLY SOUGHT HIM TO AVENGE HER? THIS IS NOT COMPARING GOD TO THIS UNJUST JUDGE BUT JUST THE OPPOSITE. JESUS IS CONTRASTING GOD'S WILLINGNESS TO ANSWER OUR PRAYERS WITH THIS UNJUST JUDGE'S UNWILLINGNESS.
Sonship Or Slavery
June 15th
John 8:34 'Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.'
JOHN 8:34-36
The devil has been deceiving the world about sin since the Garden of Eden when he told Eve that through sin she could be like God. Time has proven, not only to Eve, but to each one of us, that this is not true. Sin brings death and not life. Jesus is making it clear that sin enslaves. We become slaves not only to the sin itself, but also to the author of sin, the devil. We are either servants of God through obedience or servants of the devil through sin.
Jesus is likening the bondage that sin produces to slavery, while comparing the freedom that...
