Know Jesus, Know Peace. No Jesus, No Peace.

Know Jesus, Know Peace.
No Jesus, No Peace.

Ever wonder just how We Can Have and Live in Peace when the entire world in such turmoil?

Only through Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

Jesus Promises us a Complete Peace, a Peace that Surpasses All Understanding..

Knowing that God is still on His Throne and in Complete Control.

We Can Trust In Him to Complete His Purpose In Our Lives


Lev: 26:6
I will give peace in the land and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid.

2 Peter 1:2
Grace and Peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

Colossians 3: 15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Ephesians 2: 14
For He {Jesus} is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me { Jesus } you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

So, Claim Your Promise…..Go Out and Have Peace Today.

Faith And Fear

Fear Knocked On The Door. Faith Opened It. And Lo, There Was No One There.

I love this statement.

When we keep our eyes on Jesus enstead of our problems we succeed.
Notice when Peter jumped out of the boat and started walking on the water to meet Christ....He did walk on water....Because His eyes were on Christ. When he took his eyes off Christ and began to look around at his surroundings, he began to sink.

Keep Your Eyes On Christ.

Ask And Receive

Ask And Receive


It is common for some Christians to just believe that they can ask
Anything of the Lord and He will answer in a positive way.
Meaning they will get what they ask.

NOT SO……. THANK GOODNESS.
God knows what is Best for Us. And He gives us What is Best.
And He does it in His timing.

1 John 5: 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, That if we ask anything according to His will He Hears us.

{ Notice the words…according to His Will, not Our will.}
If we want for our live, what God wants for our lives, He will give it to us.}

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

{We can have the confidence that, if we are asking in His Will, He is listening and answering.}

Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

{ Notice the words, Delight Yourself in the Lord. If we are delighted in the Lord we will not ask anything
That is Out of His Will.
The Desires of our heart will be to do His Will.

So when we pray, we need to be sure we are in line with what God wants for Us.

We could just Pray, that we submit to God’s Will for our life…Make ourselves available to His will…and trust Him to do what is best for us.

And He Will Every Time.

God Does NOT Love Us Because We Love HIM

God Does Not Love Us
Because We Love Him

He Loved Us First.

And Gave His Only Begotten Son that we might be reconciled to Him
And have Everlasting Life.

John 3:16 For God so Loved the World { you and me}
That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him
Should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He who believes in Him { Jesus Christ and all He stands for…His life, His death, being God Himself.} is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

{So you see, God does Not Condemn us, we condemn ourselves by our unbelief.}

1 John 4: 19 We love Him, because He First loved us.

So you see, Everything you have Comes From God…….
Even Our Ability To Love Him.
Even Our Faith To Believe.

We Can NOT Have GOD Without JESUS

Today, It Is Popular To Think
That You Can Believe In God
But Not Believe In Jesus Christ.


This is Just NOT Possible.

And I am talking about a Believing, Saving Faith, Type of Belief,
from the Heart, Not just Intellectual Knowledge.

We need to understand that Salvation is Belief from The Heart,
Not the Mind. Belief in Who He is and What He has done for us..
The Son of God. He is God.
The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are one.

Even the devils believed in Christ. They even acknowledged that He was the Son of God. They certainly did not trust Him for their Eternal Salvation, or make Him Lord of their Life.

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe….and tremble!

When we accept Jesus Christ death on the cross as payment for our sins, repent and turn from sin, accept Christ as our Lord, Master of our Life….
Then we have Eternal Life Through Him.

Romans 6:23 For the Wages of Sin is Death, but the Gift of God is Eternal Life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now, we can choose to pay our own penalty….die for our own sin.
This is actually what we deserve.
Or we can be wise….and choose Christ’s Payment For Our Sin, His Death on the Cross. Sin carries a Blood Penalty.

John 3: 16 For God so Loved the World {you and me} that He Gave His Only Son…….to pay Our Sin Debt. What Love has the Father for Us.
Who would you give your Only Child’s Life For???

1 John 2: 22-23 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti Christ who denies the Father and the Son.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either, he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

The Father and Son are One.
Jesus said …….I and my Father are One.

You can Not have one without the other.

Theachers Are Held More Accountable

I love teaching the Bible.

Actually I love teaching anything.
I think I have a teacher’s mentality.
If I know something, I just can’t wait to share. I want you to know it too.
But this is a Big Responsibility. God holds Teachers more accountable.

According to Ezra 7:10 they are accountable in four ways.
They are to devote their hearts for obedient service.
They are to study the meaning of God’s Word.
They are to obey what they discover
They are to teach what they have learned.
For the most part, true Bible teaching is the overflow of one obedient life into the life of another.

Teachers need to be able to share of their own life and to relate to the lives of those they teach.
also to teach on a level that is easily understood.
If teachers are always teaching over people’s head, they will not be able to reach them.

All Christians, not just teachers need to watch what they do.
Not doing anything that weakens or kills their testimony or in any way leads other Christians astray.

· But if anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck. - Matthew 18:6
· "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck. - Mark 9:42
· It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck than to face the punishment in store for harming one of these little ones. - Luke 17:2

As Christians, we must always be aware that the world is watching us
And ACT accordingly.

Have You Died For Him Yet?

Christ Suffered and Died For US.
How can we NOT expect to suffer for HIM?

I am in First Peter now.
2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
{Christ suffered beatings and the Cross for Us. He did Not have to do this. He chose to do it, In order to do the will of His Father and to Grant, for Us, Salvation. He paid the Price for our sins.
Romans. The wages of Sin is Death. Taking our Sin upon Himself, He who knew NO Sin, was probably the hardest thing}
Eph. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
{By the Grace of God, Our Sin Debt was Pain In Full.}
2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? But if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
{We deserve to be punished for our own sins. But Christ had No Sin to be punished for. He was punished and put to death for our sins.}
2:21 For even here unto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth
2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed
2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
{I am sometimes amazed when People start telling me what all THEY have done for the Lord.
Sometimes they will recite all that they feel the Lord has asked them to give up. And then go into great detail how they complied, In order to sacrifice to the Lord.
I am reminded of the verse that says …It is better to obey than to sacrifice.}
And then Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me
{One of my all time favorites}

I want to ask these people…….
Have you DIED for Him yet.
Have you DIED To Him yet?

NOTHING we can ever do for Christ can equal what He has done for Us.

If Christ Never does another thing for Me..
His Death, for me, on the cross, is more than enough.
