Jesus Says: "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. THERE WILL BE GREAT EARTHQUAKES, and there will be FAMINES and PLAGUES in many lands, and there will be TERRIFYING THINGS and GREAT miraculous SIGNS from Heaven..."And there will be STRANGE SIGNS in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. PEOPLE WILL BE TERRIFIED AT WHAT THEY SEE COMING UPON THE EARTH, for the powers in the Heavens will be shaken. THEN EVERYONE will see the Son of Man (Jesus Christ) coming on a cloud with power and great glory."~(Luke 21:10-11, 25-28)~"So when ALL these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is NEAR!"

DISPLAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST DAILY!

                                DISPLAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST DAILY!

 

 

Jesus says: “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” The Lord tells us if we truly love Him like we say we do, we will NOT be judging others! (Matthew 7:1), we would treat people the way that we would like to be treated! (Matthew 7:12), we would love and pray for our enemies and we would pray for those who persecute us! (Matthew 5:43-44), we would spend time in talking with Jesus (Quality Time) in prayer! (Matthew 6:6) And we definitely wouldn't be purposefully and willfully be sinning either (John 8:11, Galatians 6:7-8, 1 John 3:9-10). We would be loving and caring for our fellow man as Christ Jesus has commanded us to do. (Matthew 5:42, John 13:34) There are many more Scriptures in the Bible that teaches us, that if we truly love the Lord, we would show it by our actions! The Bible Says: "Whoever says, "I know Him (Jesus Christ)," BUT DOES NOT DO what HE commands is a liar, and the truth is NOT in that person..."Whoever claims to live in him MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID."~(1 John 2:4,6)

Display the LOVE of Christ In ALL That You Do And..."By this EVERYONE will know that you are MY DISCIPLES (Jesus Disciples), if you love one another."~(John 13:35)


GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

STUDY THE WORD OF GOD DAILY!

STUDY THE WORD OF GOD DAILY!


Friends, It's Imperative For All Who Claim To Know And Love Jesus---To Have A Daily Lifestyle Of Obedience To Our Lord---If We Want To Inherit Eternal Life (Heaven)! (2 Timothy 2:19, Hebrews 10:26-27, 1 Peter 2:16, 2 Peter 3:11-14, 1 John 2:4, 6, 1 John 3:4-10,  31, Jude 1:4)


Note: God Has Given Us, Through His Holy Word "The Instructions" That We Need To Live A Holy, Godly And Righteous Life Here On Earth...And We MUST Commit And Devote Ourselves To Studying The Word Of God Daily. Living Our Lives According To The Word Of God... Jesus Said: "Blessed rather are those WHO HEAR the word of God AND OBEY IT." (Luke 11:28, John 14:15, 21, 23-24, 1 Corinthians 7:19, James 1:22, 1 John 5:2-3)


The Bible Says:

"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. FOR GOD WILL BRING EVERY DEED INTO JUDGMENT, INCLUDING EVERY HIDDEN THING, WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR EVIL."~(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

Jesus says: "It will be GOOD FOR THOSE SERVANTS whose master FINDS THEM READY, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak... "YOU ALSO MUST BE READY, because the Son of Man will come at an hour WHEN YOU DO NOT expect Him." (Luke 12:38, 40)

STAY ALERT, BE READY AND ALWAYS BE ON THE WATCH AND PRAY...OUR SAVIOR CAN SHOW UP AT ANYTIME...

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS
YOUR FRIEND,

STAY ON THE NARROW ROAD

                                                      STAY ON THE NARROW ROAD


The Bible Says:

"WHOEVER claims to live in him MUST LIVE as Jesus did." (1 John 2:6, Hebrews 12:14)→If We Keep Ignoring The Bible Exhortations In Living A Lifestyle Of Holiness & Righteous Living...Then We CAN'T Seriously Be Surprised When The Lord Tells Us..."I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVIL DOERS!"~(Matthew 7:23)...

 

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness..." (2 Timothy 3:16)

 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

YOU’RE FORGIVEN!

                                                  YOU’RE FORGIVEN!

 

I have had this question asked before: “How do I know God has forgiven me?”  “How do I know I’m saved?  I don’t feel forgiven or saved?” So, I’ve decided to write this teaching just in case there’s someone out there who’s wondering the same things and are asking these same questions.

 

Friends, we have to go to the TRUTH of the Word of God to get these questions and ALL fears and doubts removed. Our feelings and emotions come and go, they change constantly, today we feel and say this and that and tomorrow is another thing. So we’re NOT going to go on our feelings today…We are going to turn to the “Word Of God” for our answers.

 

1-How Do I Know I’m Forgiven?

In Ezekiel, The LORD says, this….

"But if a wicked man (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) TURNS AWAY FROM ALL THE SINS he has committed and keeps all my decrees AND DOES what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. "NONE OF THE OFFENSES” he has committed will be REMEMBERED AGAINST HIM. Because of the righteous things he has done, he will live.”~ (Ezekiel 18:21-22)

 

Note: WOW!!! I believe this is GREAT NEWS, don’t you? Now that you know what the word of GOD says, say GOOD-BYE once and for ALL to those false feelings and dismiss those fears, that God will bring up all your sins on judgment day. The LORD says, if we turn from our sins and do what is just and right and we follow Him and His teachings…We are completely forgiven and we are made NEW! (2 Corinthians 5:17) NONE, I Repeat NONE, of our sins and offenses will be remembered by GOD, EVER! "For I will FORGIVE their wickedness and WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.” (Jeremiah 31:34, Hebrews 8:12, 10:17)

 

2- How Do I Know I’m Saved? I Don’t Feel Forgiven Or Saved?

 

In The book of Romans it tells us this, concerning this question….

“That if you “CONFESS” with your mouth, "JESUS IS LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For it is with YOUR heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with YOUR mouth that you CONFESS AND ARE SAVED. As the Scripture says, "ANYONE” who trusts in him will NEVER be put to shame."… FOR, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."~(Romans 10:9-11, 13)

 

Note: God makes it very simple for anyone who wants to be saved…The Holy Scriptures says “If we confess with our mouth, JESUS IS LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.”(Romans 10:9) It is the Word of GOD that we have to believe and stand on and NOT on our emotions or feelings. Believe in the word of the Lord, my friends. If God said it, then, that’s the way is going to be and you are saved according to Romans 10:9-11, 13. “FOR, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED.”

BUT let me give you all a warning… If we turn to the old way of living and go back to living a sinful lifestyle…This is what THE LORD says:

 

“BUT IF A RIGHTEOUS MAN TURNS FROM his righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked man does, WILL HE LIVE? NONE of the righteous things he has done WILL BE REMEMBERED. (Watch This…Don’t Miss It!!) Because of "THE UNFAITHFULNESS" HE IS GUILTY of and because of the SINS HE HAS COMMITTED, HE WILL DIE.”… If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and “COMMITS SIN”, HE WILL DIE FOR IT; because of the sin he has committed he will die.” (Ezekiel 18:24, 26)~HEAVEN won’t be the place of eternity for ANYONE who lives a sinful life!

 

Watch Jesus REPEAT this same exhortation and warnings to ALL of us:

 

“The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) will send out HIS ANGELS, (Watch This…Don’t Miss It!) AND THEY WILL WEED OUT of His kingdom “EVERYTHING THAT CAUSES SIN AND ALL WHO DO EVIL.” They will THROW THEM INTO THE FIERY FURNACE, where there WILL BE weeping and gnashing of teeth.”~(Matthew 13:41-42)~ Remember, Jesus is NOT a man that HE should LIE! (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Titus 1:2)  If Jesus gives us these warnings and we still continue to sin then the “Fiery Furnace” awaits us and NOT Heaven!

 
Jesus says:

“IF YOUR RIGHT EYE CAUSES YOU TO SIN, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be “THROWN INTO HELL.” AND IF YOUR RIGHT HAND CAUSES YOU TO SIN, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your WHOLE BODY TO GO INTO HELL.”~(Matthew 5:29-30)

 

Note: This means GETTING RID OF/ PUTTING TO DEATH, “EVERYTHING” that causes us to sin against our GOD…NOTHING in this world is worth losing your salvation, NOTHING! The choice is “ALWAYS” ours to make. (Colossians 3:1-10) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) Please read the whole chapter of Romans 6… “FOR SIN SHALL NOT be your master, because you are not under law, BUT under GRACE.” (Romans 6:14, Ezekiel 18:30-32)

 

Jesus means what HE says… We are commanded to live “Holy and Godly lives” in this present age and we better heed the warnings, if we want to enter Heaven. Peter tells us this: “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE? You ought to “LIVE HOLY AND GODLY LIVES…” (2 Peter 3:11, Titus 2:12, Romans 12:1)

 

Let me show you what Paul tells the Church Of Ephesus:

 

“BE IMITATORS OF GOD, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) BUT AMONG YOU there MUST NOT be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, BECAUSE THESE ARE IMPROPER FOR GOD’S HOLY PEOPLE. NOR should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. (Here it Comes Now… Don’t Miss It!) FOR OF THIS YOU CAN BE SURE: NO immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater—"HAS ANY INHERITANCE" in the kingdom of Christ and of God."~(Ephesians 5:5)

 

Note: With this statement Paul is GUARANTEEING US; that anyone who lives this kind of life (the sinful life) “WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD”…“For of this you can be sure: NO immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has ANY inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” (Ephesians 5:5)  See Also: (Matthew 13:40-42, Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:1-17, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Revelation 21:27, 22:15)


Friends, when JESUS says: “YOU’RE FORGIVEN!”  You’re truly and completely forgiven BUT we “MUST ALSO BE” diligent and faithful in “OBEYING” the Lord, and following His commandments to enter Heaven. (John 14:15, 21, 23-24) NEVER tire of doing good…“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS LIVING!

HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS LIVING!

Living a holy and righteous life before our Lord and Savior it is an EVERYDAY commitment, devotion and discipline that we MUST ALL HAVE, if Heaven is the place where we want to spend eternity!

Jesus taught us to stay away from ANYTHING that would cause us to sin ... "If your right eye causes you to stumble (Sin), gouge it out and throw it away. (Watch This... Don't Miss It! -->) IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO LOSE ONE PART OF YOUR BODY THAN FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY TO BE THROWN INTO HELL.  And if your right hand causes you to stumble (Sin), cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."~(Matthew 5:29-30)~Amen!

Friends, No sin is worth losing your place in Heaven!~(Matthew 13:40-42, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-7, Colossians 3:5-10, Hebrews 10:26-27, Revelation 21:27, 22:15)~Amen

The Apostle John Tells Us This:
"WHOEVER claims to live in Him "MUST" walk as Jesus DID."~(1 John 2:6)~Amen! Our daily lives should reflect our Savior Life. We MUST be like Him in everything that we do and say.~(John 14:15, 21, 23-24, John 15:14, Luke 6:46)~Amen

Note: Some people claim to be Christians... But by the way they live their lives it tells us a different story"..."THEY CLAIM" to "KNOW GOD", "BUT BY THEIR ACTIONS THEY DENY HIM." They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good."~(Titus 1:16)~Amen

Remember this:
"FOR WE MUST ALL" appear before the "JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST", that each one "MAY RECEIVE" what is due him FOR the things "DONE WHILE IN THE BODY", whether good OR bad."~(2 Corinthians 5:10)~Amen! God has already warned us that.. "WITHOUT" HOLINESS "NO ONE" WILL SEE JESUS.~(Hebrews 12:14)~Amen! STAY Faithful to Jesus... Because He is coming soon!~(Revelation 22:20)~Amen and Maranatha!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

                                                     YOU'RE NOT ALONE!


There are times we can feel all alone... Even if we're in a room full of people. We think that NO ONE understands or cares what we're going through. I'm stopping by to tell you that, "YOU'RE NOT ALONE"! We sometimes forget in our moments of our trials and testings, that, the Lord Jesus has given us some wonderful promises to reflect on, to hold on to, when these times appear in our lives .... "In this world you "WILL" have trouble. BUT take heart! (Watch This... Don't Miss It!) "I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD."...."I WILL NOT leave you as orphans; I will come to you."(John 16:33, John 14:18) Jesus is just a prayer away..."For where two or three come together in "MY NAME", there am I with them."(Matthew 18:20)~ANY time WE need Him... He will be there! If Jesus said it, then that's exactly what He'll DO! "Heaven and earth will pass away, BUT my words WILL NEVER pass away."~(Matthew 24:35)~Our Savior is NOT a man that HE should lie! (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Hebrews 6:18)

Note: We have to completely TRUST and BELIEVE that in "ALL" things GOD works for the good of those "WHO LOVE HIM". WHO have been called according to His PURPOSE."~(Romans 8:28)~GOD has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life! (Jeremiah 29:11)~DON'T give up, DON'T throw in the towel... You WILL be Victorious!!! "And without FAITH it is impossible to please GOD, because "ANYONE" who comes to Him "MUST" believe that HE exists and that He rewards those who earnestly "SEEK HIM." (Hebrews 11:6, James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6-9, Hebrews 12:4-11)

Remember what the Holy Scriptures say: "IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?.... "WHO" can "SEPARATE US" from the love of Christ? Shall  trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?~ (Romans 8:31, 35)~Never "FORGET" how much GOD loves you.... "No, in "ALL" these things "WE ARE" more than conquerors through HIM who "LOVED US". For "I AM CONVINCED" that neither angels nor demons, neither the "PRESENT" nor "THE FUTURE, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor "ANYTHING" else in "ALL" creation, will be able to separate us from the "LOVE OF GOD", that is in Christ Jesus OUR LORD."~ (Romans 8:37-39)

Note: People can sometimes be cruel, mean and unkind to us but we should "NEVER" let them change who we are... Christ lives in US and we "MUST" be obedient to Him at "ALL" times and in "ALL" situations. Jesus teaches us this; "BUT I tell you who hear me: LOVE your enemies, DO good to those who hate you, BLESS those who curse you, PRAY for those who mistreat you."~(Luke 6:27-28)~This is called being "an overcomer" friends... How are we going to receive rewards in Heaven for being "An overcomer"... If we haven't overcome ANYTHING???  About the rewards in Heaven; Jesus says this: "If you LOVE  those who LOVE you, WHAT REWARD WILL YOU GET? ... "And if you greet "ONLY" your brothers, WHAT are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? "BE PERFECT", therefore, as your heavenly FATHER is perfect." (Matthew 5:46-48) See also Romans 12:9-21

Stay the course, my friends, SOW the good fruits of "OBEDIENCE" to Christ because the reward will be "Eternal Life".... "DO NOT" be deceived: GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED. A man "REAPS" what he sows. The one sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to "PLEASE THE SPIRIT", from the Spirit "WILL REAP ETERNAL LIFE."... "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 to those who belong to the family of believers."~ (Galatians 6:7-10)

The Bible says:

"NEVER will I leave you; NEVER will I forsake YOU."  So we say with CONFIDENCE, "The LORD is my HELPER; I will NOT be Afraid. WHAT can man do to me." ~ (Hebrews 13:5-6) ~ 24-7 God is "ALWAYS" with us... DON'T be afraid... "YOU'RE NOT ALONE!! Stay the course; be faithful, trust, believe and obey the LORD in ALL things... And you will be blessed! "DELIGHT" yourself in the LORD and HE will give you the "DESIRES" of your heart. "COMMIT" your way to the LORD; TRUST IN HIM and HE WILL DO THIS..."(Psalm 37:4-5)~ Amen!

JESUS SAYS: "WHY "DO YOU" CALL ME, LORD, LORD, AND "DO NOT DO WHAT I SAY?~ (Luke 6:46)

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS,
YOUR FRIEND,
VICKY RIVERA
