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,

KEEP THE OIL IN YOUR LAMPS BURNING!

As we get closer to the return of Christ to the earth, Jesus tells us that fearful events will occur on the earth and in the heavens. When we see these signs that Jesus spoke of in the Gospels happening , we're supposed to be looking up to the skies because according to Jesus, it is then that we will see HIM coming in the clouds... "At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Luke 21:27-28)

Note: "Frankenstorm Sandy", the name the media called the recent storm. The world was shaken and gripped with fear at the sight of this massive storm but all of this goes in line with what Jesus told us would happen in the last days before His return back to the earth..."There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." (Luke 21:25-26) Jesus is coming soon friends, if you have any loved ones that don't know Jesus as Lord and Savior, then, the time is now to bring them to Christ... While there's still time to do so. (Please keep in your prayers all of those who have been affected by this terrible storm!)

Jesus is coming soon! The signs tell us so and this is what Jesus says about it: "He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees.When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near." (Luke 21:29-31) Jesus has already told us that once these signs are taking place, it is also a sign that "The kingdom of God is "NEAR" (Luke 21:31) And we must be ready, Friends!

The Bible Says: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise."... "The virgins "WHO WERE READY" went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you." (Matthew 25:1-12)

Note: "NOT" everyone that "Calls Jesus Lord" will enter the "Kingdom of God." NOT everyone who calls themselves "a Christian" will enter Heaven. The only people who are entering Heaven are those who are ready ("the wise virgins"), who are keeping their oil lamps burning and who obey Jesus Christ teachings. (Watch This... Don't Miss It!!)"Jesus said, "IF" you "HOLD" to my teaching, you are really my disciples." Jesus knows those who truly "LOVE HIM"... Jesus replied, "IF ANYONE" loves me, "HE WILL OBEY" my teaching. My Father will love him, and "WE WILL COME" to him and "MAKE"our home with him. (Watch This... Don't Miss It!) "He "WHO DOES NOT" love me "WILL NOT" obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me." (John 8:31, Matthew 7:21-27, Matthew 25:10, John 14:15, John 14:21, 23-24, John 7:16-17, Matthew 17:5, Mark 9:7, Luke 9:35, Acts 3:23, 1 John 2:6)


"THEREFORE KEEP WATCH, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR."~ (Matthew 25:13) STAY READY MY FRIENDS AND "KEEP THE OIL IN YOUR LAMPS BURNING".....
