"God's Eye Is Upon You" - Inspirational Weekend

"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy; to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine."  -  Psalm 33:18-19

What a comforting promise in God's Holy Word !  As most of you know, to fear God does not mean a morbid, trembling, worrisome fear; but, rather, a true reverential fear: a fear of displeasing God in any way; a worshipful fear and to be in awe of His majesty.   God keeps His eye on people with such an attitude towards Him and shows them mercy and delivers their soul from death.   Of course, this also includes believing in and having faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, who died to set us free and to give believers eternal life.   (John 3:16)

But if you are living in sin and/or do not know Jesus as your Savior, the fact that God sees and knows everything should make you uncomfortable.  That in turn will either make you try to avoid God, or it will make you repentant and cause you to turn to Him.  Confess your sins to Him, be truly repentant, ask Him for forgiveness, and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, Lord, and Master.                                 (Romans 10:9,10,13)

"God created me - and you - to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion  -  namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying His supreme excellence in all the spheres of life."  -  John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

"The point of your life is to point to HIM.  Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His."   -  Francis Chan   

It is all about the Heavenly Father and pleasing Him and bringing Him glory.  He is Almighty God, the Creator of the Universe and should be glorified.   His eye is upon His creation, and that includes you and me.   Let us acknowledge Him in all that we do and give Him glory always.   Don't glory in yourself, or your career, or in anything else but instead only in God.  

"To give God glory is the ultimate purpose of all things."  (King James Study Bible Notes)

"To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.  Amen."  - Romans 16:27

Perhaps I should have titled this post "Give God The Glory".   But if we realize that His eye is upon us, we will tend to live a more holy, godly life and thereby give the Lord glory.   

In these chaotic and perilous times we are living in right now, it is easy to get caught up in fear of tomorrow  and what the future holds..... that is, if we do not have a close personal relationship with the Lord and do not pray and do not read the Bible.   Only God can give you the peace you need to cope with troublesome times.... these end times we find ourselves caught in.   

As the hymn "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" tells us, "And today I'll walk beside HIM, for He knows what lies ahead."

                              Here is that hymn in full; it is very uplifting:

"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen."  -  1 Peter 4:11

Two Gog of Magog Wars (With Video)

Yes, there are two Gog of Magog wars!  Most of you are familiar with the one in Ezekiel 38 and 39.  That is the war where several nations come against Israel in the near future.  We can see in today's news how Bible Prophecy concerning  this is unfolding before our very eyes !   In this war of Ezekiel 38 and 39. the leader will come from the North, which many believe will be Russia, accompanied by Arab Nations.  

In the following video with Amir Tsarfati, he stresses that sometimes the name of a place or geographical location (like Magog) can refer to the "spirit" of the place or person.  

The other Gog of Magog war is mentioned in Revelation 20:7-10; and, again, Amir stresses that it is the "spirit" of that war that gives it its name.  The instigator of the war in Revelation 20 is satan himself and there will be those that follow him, at the end of the 1000 year Christ's reign of God's kingdom on earth.  In that war, the evil forces against the saints will come from all directions throughout the entire earth.

I urge you to watch the entire 36 minute video above as it is chock full of spiritual information.   Amir has a thriving ministry and travels all over the world.  He is a Jewish believer in Jesus, and his home is in Israel.  

"And [satan] shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."       -   Revelation 20:8

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."   -  Revelation 21:1-2

"Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."     -  Revelation 22:7

"Not Right Now ?" - Inspirational Weekend

Earlier this month I was at the beach with my son and his family and friends, and my 3 year old grandson was my big joy and delight.   One adult friend asked my grandson to do something (I forgot exactly what he asked), and my grandson kept on walking and didn't miss a beat and said, "Not right now" as he continued about, in his 3 year-old way, his important business.  My grandmother's heart thought that was the cutest thing ever!   Naturally, he had heard his parents say that and understood exactly what it meant.   

After later sharing this amusing and precious moment with others, I began to consider the words "not right now" in a more serious and profound way.

How many Christians have felt the call of God to serve as a missionary and have said instead, "Not right now."

How many have felt the urge to help a homeless person, but were intent on their business and thought, "Not right now."

How many were prompted by the Holy Spirit to witness about Jesus but, for one reason or another, decided "Not right now."

I could continue on and on, but you see where I am leading us to.  Most of our ignoring the promptings of the Holy Spirit is due to selfishness (maybe of not having enough time to spare to act, for example) and just generally self-love where we think only of our own needs and not the needs of others.

See the lighthouse on that 600 foot sea cliff in the above photo of mine?  I have walked the 2 mile trail up to that Makapu'u lighthouse on the southeastern shore of Oahu, Hawaii.  It took a bit of effort, being a grandma, but once at the top the view below was breathtaking and you could see such a beautiful shoreline and the mountains all around. 

Jesus has been compared to a lighthouse.  His life and words and example have been a "light" to many.  It takes effort to stay in His light; being guided by His loving Spirit to put Him first in our lives.

And to obey Him and keep His commandments.

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."  -  John 8:12

The hymn, "The Lighthouse," seems fitting to include here now:

Are you walking in darkness now?  Have you heard the gospel and know you need Jesus, but you keep saying, "Not right now."? May I remind you that tomorrow may be too late !  You might die before tomorrow arrives, and then where will you spend eternity without Jesus?  Jesus could return the next minute to rapture true believers to heaven to be with Him......where will you be when the 7-year Tribulation begins if you have not  previously accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and Master?    

One may be so involved in the pleasures and lusts of this world, that they say "Not right now" to surrendering their lives to Jesus.  They love the world too much.   Here is another reminder:

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."  -  James 4:4

And another reminder:

"(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  (16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.   (17) And the world passeth away, and the lusts thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."  -  1 John 2:15-17

Many people are enjoying their sinful life in this evil world and do not want to think about giving it all up.  Part of it is their own sinful will, and part of it the influence of the devil, who is the god of this world.

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them."  -  2 Corinthians 4:4  

Please, if you have not done so, accept Jesus as your Savior and put your faith in Him so that you may have eternal life in glory with Him.   Do not continue to say, "Not right now" !   

Jesus' return is imminent... it could occur at any time.

Be ready.

Be like the true believers spoken of in Philippians 2:15 :

"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without  rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."

"What Is True Christianity" (Video with Dr. Michael Lake)

Are you a professing Christian or a carnal Christian?  Or are you truly saved and witnessing about Jesus to others?  Are you actually born again and thereby connected with God?  Do you commune with the Lord daily in prayer and "hear" Him speak as you daily read His Holy Word?

Christianity is not only a religion, but first and foremost it is a relationship with the Creator.  In the following video (38 minutes long) Dr. Michael Lake discusses about what it means to be a Christian, as well as other topics ...such as the mark of the beast.   The video is titled "Are You a Christian or just saved? Dr. Michael Lake says what the Church won't!"

Dr. Lake says we need to understand what it means to walk in Biblical holiness.... to live a life so that the Holy Spirit is not grieved whereby He pulls back and away from you.  He also states that being connected to the throne of God is the only way you will know true peace.  

Now is the time to turn to the Lord with all your heart, and soul, and mind and strength in love for Him; to come to a saving knowledge that Jesus is the Messiah, the promised Savior and to surrender your entire being, your whole life, to Him and to repent of your sins and begin to lead a godly life.  He will help you to do just that if you believe in Him and in His resurrection.   

Time is short.  Jesus will return soon to take true believers to be in heaven with Him, before the seven-year Tribulation begins.   You do not want to be left behind to face the wrath of God on the unrepentant and ungodly people during the Tribulation !

Repent.

Confess your sins.

Admit you are a sinner.

Ask for forgiveness.

Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior and Lord and Master.

Believe in His resurrection.

Be totally surrendered to the Lord.

"(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  -  Romans 10: 9,10,13

Remember what Jesus said at John 6:37 ,  "All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me, and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."

"And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall seek for Me with all your heart."  -  Jeremiah 29:13

In these perilous end times we are now living in, you need a firm Anchor to keep you grounded in the Lord's truth and in His loving arms.  Some people, even professing Christians, are fearful of all the chaos and violence and turmoil happening right now and are in dread of what the future may hold.  Read your Bible and pray without ceasing, and you will find the peace only God can give you.  Remember, the Bible tells us the glorious end of all things:

GOD WINS ! ! 

A wise choice is what Isaiah 55:6 tells us:

"Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:"

"Prayer For Wisdom and Knowledge To Walk Worthy Of The Lord" - Inspirational Weekend

Do you ever feel at a loss as to know how to please the Lord?  It may be because you need to read your Bible more, because His Word is rich in showing us how to please Him and how to walk as Jesus walked, in total surrender to Yahweh.

Total surrender.  That is a primary way to please God the Father.

There are two prayers we will consider here that will show us how to please the Lord and to walk worthy of Him; one in Ephesians and the other in Colossians.  Both deal with prayers for knowledge and wisdom.  In truth, how can we please God and walk in His will without knowledge of His Word and without His guidance?   You might want to read a previous post on being wise by knowing God's will.  Here we will explore walking worthy of the Lord with the help of wisdom from Him and as found in His Holy Word.

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints:"   -  Ephesians 1:17-18

The above prayer for wisdom and knowledge in Ephesians is the first prayer we will discuss.  To know God is to be wise.  This is not just mere acknowledgment, but true knowledge.  The Ephesians did possess knowledge and enlightenment to some degree, but Paul prayed that they might more clearly and fully hold their present views.   Since we are imperfect humans and prone to error, we are not totally pure and we may have some dimness or not have a clear understanding where spiritual things are concerned.   That is why we need to be constantly reading the Bible and in frequent prayer.  Pray for God to give you a clear understanding of spiritual matters.

Until the Lord opens the eyes of our heart, we are as if blind.

I remember, before I was truly born-again, there was something like a veil that prevented me from completely comprehending revelations from the Lord; from understanding the Bible as I should have.   I may still understand in part, but the Lord has opened my eyes and my heart to a greater degree than ever I could have imagined.

Colossians 1:9-10 is part of the second prayer for wisdom that we will now consider:

(9) " For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (10) that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;"

Let's just concentrate on verse 10 above, particularly "that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing."   We can see from this verse that to please God, we need to be fruitful in good works, and to also increase in the knowledge of God.   When we increase in the knowledge of God, we grow closer to Him and can therefore have a close and personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.  God wants to fellowship with us, and this is possible only with a close, intimate relationship with Him.  That pleases Him.  And if we have this close bond, we will naturally be inclined to please God in return and to obey Him and keep His commandments.  That is part of walking worthy of the Lord.  When we put God's kingdom first and endeavor to be as Christ-like as we possibly can, that is also pleasing to God and walking worthy of Him.  Put God and Jesus first in your life.

Be filled with the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and walk in the Spirit and crucify the flesh, killing the lusts and desires which are of the world (Galatians 5:24-25).

All of these things may seem impossible to do but, if you are a true believer, the Holy Spirit will help you to walk worthy of the Lord.  Be constantly in the Holy Word and fervent in prayer; it will enable you to draw close to the Lord and to understand and do His will.

"Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.  To know is not to be wise.  Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it.  There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool.  But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom."  -  Charles Spurgeon

"Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty, acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can Divine wisdom become ours."    -   J.I. Packer

I have not mentioned love.   "God is love" (1 John 4:16), "He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."  Without love, we cannot truly begin to walk worthy of the Lord and please Him.
 If we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and with all of our strength (Mark 12:30), we will gladly obey Him and display true godliness, which enables us to walk worthy of Him.

First, be sure you are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Get rid of all worldly lusts and desires and sinful thoughts.

"So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."  -  Romans 8:8

You need to have vigorous faith to please the Lord, as that will enable you to be strong and to endure trials and to wait on the Lord, thereby walking worthy of Him.

"For we walk by faith, not by sight:"  -  2 Corinthians 5:7

"The just shall live by faith."  -  Galatians 3:11b

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."  -  Hebrews 11:6

"Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and please God, so ye would abound more and more."                       -   1 Thessalonians 4:1

"Be Wise : Know The Will Of God" - Inspirational Weekend

As an artist, everything beautiful inspires and delights me to no end.  Beautiful flowers, landscapes, wildlife, and delightful and gorgeous birds; all the beauty found in God's creation takes my breath away and fills me with awe and admiration.

God's Holy Word, the Bible, affects me the same way in that it fills me with awe and admiration for the heavenly Father and for His love and mercies and His wisdom.   The Scriptures also inspire and delight me as the Holy Spirit gives me understanding as well as directs  me to verses that fit a particular day or circumstance or emotion.   God's Word is powerful and can work miracles in a person's life, such as a renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2) and helping someone to live a holy, Christ-filled life. 

(15)"But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; (16) Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."   -  1 Peter 1:15, 16

You have to admit that endeavoring to be holy is a wise decision.  The Scriptures can make you wise - and in a spiritual, more important way than flighty worldly wisdom can do.  Worldly wisdom, more often than not, leads to death apart from God.  

The first, most basic act of wisdom is to recognize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior - a Redeemer - to save you and to give you eternal life with Him.   It is God's will for all to come to a knowledge of Him and of His Son, Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:9).  It is the most important decision a person will ever make in his life; a decision that determines his eternal destiny.   

As a person studies God's Word and obeys Him and is in submission or total surrender to Him, he comes to truly know the Lord and that will enable him to know God's will, as he is given the mind of Christ. 

"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that He may instruct him?  But we have the mind of Christ."  -  1 Corinthians 2:16

The main thing is wanting God's will, not our own.  If you are that surrendered to the Lord, He will help you to know His will.  There are many Scriptures that tell us what God's will is.  Matthew 28:19-20 gives us the Great Commission: it is the Lord's will that we preach and make disciples.  1 John 4:21 reminds us of the commandment that "he who loveth God love his brother also."  There are, of course, the Ten Commandments we should endeavor to keep.   Read the Bible, and you will discover for yourself what God's will is.  The Lord will guide you as to what paths you should take in your life.

Once you put your trust in Jesus as your Savior and you are born again,  you will have a thirst and a hunger for God's Word and a longing  to be ever closer to Him; which will enable you to know His will as you build a close, personal, and intimate relationship with Him.  By all means, pray without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17) because the Lord will reveal His will to you in prayer or in answer to your prayer.  

In these perilous last days we are now living in, that above quote gives hope and encouragement to those who trust in the Lord and know His will.  Even if you are persecuted, mocked, or have to face death because of your faith, you are safe in God's "everlasting arms" and will spend eternity with Him.  

"The chief means for attaining wisdom, and suitable gifts for the ministry, are the Holy Scriptures, and prayer."  -  John Newton

"There is nothing more foolish than an act of wickedness; there is no wisdom equal to that of obeying God."  -  Albert Barnes 

"Wisdom in Scripture is, broadly speaking, the knowledge of God's world  and the knack of fitting oneself into it."   -  Cornelius Plantinga

"As we trust God to give us wisdom for today's decisions, He will lead us a step at a time into what He wants us to be doing in the future."  -  Theodore Epp

Wisdom and knowing God's will gives incredible delight and peace in our souls.  Keep in mind we are not just talking about head knowledge here or just a list of facts, but true wisdom which only God can give by the renewing of your mind as you read His word and are much in prayer.  True, we need a certain amount of head knowledge to get by in this world, but knowledge is never right unless wisdom goes along with it.  "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge," says Charles Spurgeon.

So we can see that understanding God's will is true wisdom.  It gives us a frame of mind with which God is well pleased (Isaiah 66:2). It gives us a view of God which excites us to love and give ourselves to Him (1 John 4:9-10, 19).  It assures us that God will soon set all matters right (2 Thessalonians 1: 6-10).   And so much more !  Remember, God wants to reveal His will to us, His children.   

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  -  Romans 12:2

Romans 12:2 above is a powerful verse and I will focus primarily on "the good...acceptable, and perfect will of God," quoting and paraphrasing Albert Barnes' Commentary on this verse:

"The word prove used here is commonly applied to metals, to the operation of testing, or trying them by the severity of fire, etc. Hence, it also means to explore, investigate, ascertain.  This is its meaning here.  The sense is, that such a renewed mind is essential to a successful inquiry after the will of God.  Having a disposition to obey Him, the mind will be prepared to understand His precepts.

There will be a correspondence between the feelings of the heart and His will.   ........  The reason why the heart is renewed is that we may do the will of God:  the heart that is renewed is best suited to appreciate and understand His will."

Again, to renew your heart and your mind you need to daily read and study your Bible and to pray without ceasing.  You will thereby draw close to God and James 4:8 tells us that God will draw near to you.  Separate yourself from the ungodly world and its sinful people as much as possible, but do witness to them about Jesus, however.

As Albert Barnes comments, "If all would separate from the vices and follies, the amusements and (pleasures and lusts) of the world, Christ would be glorified.  If all were truly renewed in their minds, they would lose their relish for such things, and seeking only to do the will of God, they would soon find it."



"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."    -  James 1:5

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."  -  Proverbs 9:10

"Comfort And Peace" - Inspirational Weekend

In contemplating the subject for this weekend's post I thought rather than Bible Prophecy, I would dwell on some quotes about comfort and peace.  There is so much violence and chaos in today's world (which, in itself, is a sign of the end times) that perhaps we would do well to contemplate some positive quotes from godly men as well as from the Bible itself.  In my quest to keep up with the signs of the times and the news today as it relates to Bible prophecy, it makes me depressed to see how much distress and evil itself is prevalent in today's mixed up world.  When the world situation affects my mind and disturbs me, the best thing I can do is to take it to the Lord in prayer and also to read His Holy Word.  It does me good to dwell on Scriptures and quotes that stress how there is still hope if you are a true believer in and a follower of Jesus.  Christians know how things will turn out in the end for the Bible tells us that God wins !   He wins the war over the devil and unregenerate mankind. The Lord will usher in a New Heavens and a New Earth  (Revelation 21:1) filled with peace and happiness, or should I say, filled with joy; for true joy comes only from the Heavenly Father.  Happiness depends on temporary, earthly happenings that bring you temporary pleasure.

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."  -  1 Peter 5:7    

"In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ.  You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father.  Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it gives inexpressible peace and comfort, and the sense that "underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33:27), full of support, provision, comfort, and strength."  -  Oswald Chambers   

"Comfort ye, comfort ye, saith your God."  -  Isaiah 40:1

"Great comforts do, indeed, bear witness to the truth of Thy grace, but not to the degree of it; the weak child is oftener in the lap than the strong one."  -  William Gurnall

Do not hesitate to cast all your cares and burdens on the Lord; go to Him as often as need be; find comfort and love and peace in His Presence.  He will never hurl a true believer from His Presence. (John 6:37). One Scripture that has brought me much comfort and given me peace is Hebrews 13:5b  :  "for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."  With the Lord by your side, you will be able to face adversities and to be strong.  If fear visits you, cast it away in the assurance that you "can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you."   (Philippians 4:13).   This takes faith.

"Assurance is the fruit that grows out of the root of faith."  -  Stephen Charnock

"Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort.  The most praying souls are the most assured souls."  -  Thomas Brooks

"Faith means trusting in advance what only makes sense in reverse."  -  Philip Yancey   

There is just one important thing: in order to have God's Presence and to be assured of His protection and love and of eternal life, you need to be born-again.  Spirit born, that is.   You need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and King and Master.   To do this, you first need to recognize your need of a Savior and to repent of all known sin; ask God to forgive you and truly believe that Jesus' death at Calvary and His shed blood can wash away your sins.   You must be sincere and from your very heart believe in Jesus and in His resurrection.

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  - John 3:3

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."    -  John 3:16

"(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  -  Romans 10:9,13

Marc Wolfe has said, "Living a Christless life is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic."  You are doomed to eternity in hell if you do not accept Jesus as your Savior.  (John 14:6). If you are an unbeliever and still here and live to see the soon to happen 7-year Tribulation, you will suffer through much pain and wrath and horror the likes of which has never been seen on earth before.   

When you give your life and heart and soul to Jesus Christ, you will have peace in your soul and will be able to experience a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.  That is what we are called to do.

Live for the Lord.

Be in constant fellowship with Him.

Don't delay !

"Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:"   -  Isaiah 55:6

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."   -  John 14:6

"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."   -  John 6:37
