Only possible with God

Many things aren't possible with us. First of all when it comes to doing work, it's difficult for us to complete many different things at a time. Or when we need a miracle in doing something we know is physically, mentally, impossible beyond our reach we need someone or something more powerful that will conquer it. That's where God comes in. I have read TRUE stories about how God interacts in our lives and how he delivers amazing miracles or experiences that we think aren't possible in reality. One book I know that explains those stories is called When God Wink At You by SQuire Rushnell. All of them are TRUE stories and how God gives us God winks which Rushnell describes in the book and God uses "coincidences" to communicate with us. Some people believed in God and others didn't. Yet when I read stories about the people who wanted to prove God existed, God showed up and showed them that He DOES exist and is making His existence visible to us today. These people experienced the impossible turn into the possible. And just like Jesus said "With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26. Amen.

Holding on

Hold on to God. For He is always here with us. Every day it seems as though we can't hold on any longer, but God extends His hand to rescue us from whatever we are trapped in. But it says in God's Word "He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." 2 Samuel 22: 17-20 God will save us from whatever enemy we are facing, whether big or small. He will always be there for us. For those who put their trust in Him. Amen.

ARK (Act of Random Kindness)

One Act of Random Kindness is all it takes to brighten up someone's day. To make them feel happy and appreciated. To do something warm and friendly that touches a person heart whether or not they appreciate it. Doing kind acts is at the very heart of the Christian lifestyle. Their are opportunities everywhere to do random acts of kindness! It can be where you help a handicapped person off the bus, or help a person carry their groceries to the car. Wherever you are, whenever you can do a simple act of random kindness to change a person's life. No matter how tiny it is. The bible tells us as believers we should continually do kind things for people and especially for people who belong to the family of Christ "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially those who belong to the family of believers." Galatians 6:9-10 I have two examples of random acts of kindness I would love to share. As I was walking one day by myself like the usual, I noticed a teacher that I met named Mrs. Scolnik and she was carrying boxes so I came up to her and asked her if she needed help. And we just walked and talked while we went back in forth transferring boxes to the next room. My next story is really short but simple. I have a pretty, wonderful friend and sister in Christ named Rachel who I decided to make a card for her. I do not know why I made a kind card especially for her, but I did. So I gave it to her and she wrote her own card in return and gave it to me. And that card was so special to me I decided to tape it inside of my bible and treasure it forever. So a simple act of random kindness can brighten up a person's day. And just like the bible says "You reap what you sow." Amen.

What's after death?

Death is a topic that is normally avoided because of it's view of graphic content, religious content and so on. But so many of us have no idea what's on the other side. Many of us base it off our own beliefs and view. Some of us hope it is something good or the possibility of it being our own belief. But the question is, can we really know for sure? Yes we can, and that answer comes straight from the bible. If you haven't read my blog yet which is called "Thy Word is Truth" I encourage you to read it so you can know what truth is. But in this blog I will be explaining what is on the other side. The bible says that when we die we will enter one of two destinations Heaven or Hell. And how we end up in either one of those places is based on a standard, God's standard that is. The bible says that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23. We don't deserve Heaven we all deserve Hell. God is graciously giving us Heaven based on His Love and Mercy and sacrifice of His own Son Jesus, (which is also God since He is part of the Holy Trinity but I will be explaining that later on). We have fallen short of His holy standards and the punishment for that is eternal separation from God forever in Hell. God has made a way out of that place through the sacrifice of His Son. His Blood literally takes away all of our sin. "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29 You have a choice. You can choose whether to accept Jesus as your Savior right now at home or wherever you are. Or you can reject His and ignore it and end up in burning fire forever. You must make that choice. And if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior bow your head and say this prayer "Dear Lord Jesus. Forgive me for sinning against you. I am sorry. Please forgive all of my sins and take me away from the life I am now living. Your Blood takes away all of my sin and I now accept you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray amen."  If you have just said that prayer and meant it, congratulations! And welcome to the family of God! Praise God for His never ending Love and Mercy and for giving us free will for choosing Him. Amen.

Where will you spend eternity?

Now if you think about it most of us don't want to think about death. We think it's something that is just part of life, that's no big deal. Yes that's true in a sense, but in an eternal sense you will be dead far longer than you will ever be alive. Have you ever thought about that? When I think about that it astounds me. Death is a topic most of us don't want to talk about, yet it will happen to each and everyone of us and their is nothing we can do to stop it. Here's something to think about. When you want to reach a certain destination you don't just go on a road and drive forward hoping to get there. Then later on you realize you have been driving 3 hrs in the wrong direction? Why would you do that? The only logical option is that you plan out where you are going to go instead of realizing you were going the wrong way the whole time. It's the same thing with eternity. We plan out where we are going after death instead of dying and awaiting what is out there. Waiting for what is out there after we die is not a very smart idea. Once you know what is out there without a certain requirement, their is no turning back. Jesus came to offer us eternal life into Heaven and we can only accept it as a free gift. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 Heaven is described in the bible as a beautiful paradise that is beyond human imagination where the people who have believed and trusted Jesus Christ as their savior will be. Hell is a place of graphic torment that is worse beyond imagination where the people who have rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be there. And keep in mind that you will be in one of these two destinations forever.....and ever...and ever....and ever...with no end. So choose wisely you only have so much time. Your life is very short compared with eternity. "Show me, O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath." Psalm 39:4-5 Amen.

I raise my hands up and worship

When I am at Church, I worship God. When I am at school, I worship God. When I am at home, I worship God. I worship God at anytime and anywhere. When it comes down to worship I love to raise my hands up in the air and exalt my God of Salvation. When I am at home I do that most often. When I am at Church I do that less often because I'm afraid that I'll draw attention. But I must remember when I worship that it's all about God and not about me. I just want to go to the top of a hill or mountain shout and raise my hands up in the air and exalt the Lord God Almighty who gave His life for me just so I could live with Him forever. I praise, I worship, I exalt. God calls us to live a life of worship in everything we do. "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness." Psalm 29:2 Amen. 

Thy Word is Truth

The Word is what sets us free. It tells us right from wrong, truth from false, and good from bad. We need it in order to know why we are here, and how. For us Christians we know the Word is important because we have trusted it and believed it. But is the bible really true? Can we really trust it? The answer to that question that has been going on for years is, yes. People have wondered for countless years, is the bible really true? Did things happen back then like they said they would. Let's look at that. First of all the bible is not just a book written by people, it was written by God through man which makes the book divine. Over 3,000 times in the bible it says phrases like "And the Lord God Almighty says" or "Says the the Lord God Almighty. This clearly means that the book is divine and has no claim of human authorship. If that's not enough to convince people, then let's look at the archeological side. Their have been over 25,000 archeological finds on places, people, and their titles and not one of them contradicted anything found in the bible. (You can look that up on YouTube).  That proves that the Word of God (aka the bible) is completely trustworthy. And also the bible has proven itself prophetical. Their are more than 2,000 detailed prophecies in the Old Testament and factually 25% of the bible is predictive in nature. And all of the prophecies leading up to the return of Jesus Christ to Earth have been fulfilled to the smallest detail. Amazing!!! The bible also historically talks about how the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Hamath and Sepharvaim and settled all of of them in the towns of Samaria to substitute the Israelites. 2 Kings 17:24 And incredibly the bible can also be proven scientifically! About 2,500 years ago, science said that there were 1,100 stars in the sky. And the prophet Jeremiah said "the host of Heaven cannot be measured, neither the sand of the sea measured." He said that they were uncountable. And when we see pictures taken by the Hubble space telescope we know the stars are uncountable! Wow! Science confirms many things that the bible says, but as you can see according to the divinity, archeologically, historically, prophetically, and scientifically parts of the bible, this proves the book absolutely trustworthy. Praise God for His wonderful Word! Amen.
