I Love you THIS MUCH…

November 16, 2008

“Did you know that after believers have served God perfectly for ten million years in heaven, not one of them will deserve God’s love any more than they did at the very moment they were saved?  When Jesus Christ died on the cross, God poured on Him the punishment for all our sin — past, present, and future.”

God truly wants to forgive our sin.  Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD.   “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”

He wants to forget our sin.  Psalm 103:12  ” as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”

He wants to cleanse us from our sin. 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

He wants to give us and abundant life in spite of our sin.  John 10:10 “10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

God longs to do all of this so much that He Himself endured agony of hell for every one of us.  That’s how much God loves sinners!!!!

Thank you Father God for sending your son Jesus to die for my sins.

Thank you Jesus for sacrificing your own life for my salvation.

Thank you Holy Spirit for reminding me how much Jesus loves His children.

Devotion

July 9, 2008

I heard a phenomenal devotion tonight and I want to share some of it with you.

Read this scripture from Acts 2:42-47

“42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

Can you imagine people accepting Christ and joining our churches on a daily basis? 

That’s our goal and that’s what we dream about, but this scripture gives us 4 keys that made this happen..

1. Devotion to the Apostles:  The apostles taught the life of Jesus, the people were devoted.

2. Fellowship: the people created relationships that created a magnetic force of love

3. Breaking of Bread: Devoting themselves to communion with Father God.

4. Prayer:

Acts 2:42 makes Acts 2:47 happen!!!

What do you think about this quote?

“We don’t have to, we are free to…”

“We don’t have to love, we are free to love.”

“We don’t have to forgive, we are free to forgive.”

“We don’e have to ______. we are free to ________”

Fill in the blanks with other words:  pray, minister, sow seeds, etc.

John 8:36 says “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Jesus sets us free!!!  Allow Him to set you free!!

I was blessed tonight and I hope this message blesses you.
