Glorious Savior:
The Great Intercessor

People, brothers in Christ confess their sins, their shortfalls, their faults to me often…. Yes those are sins per the Bible and yet, the mercy of God in Christ’s perfect sacrifice is greater than all our sin. This salvific truth is never so clear than when our LORD stated on the cross that “It is finished” and in the glorious book of Hebrews (John 19:30). His blood speaks in Heaven for us at the right hand of the Father!!!! YESSSSS JESUS WE LOVE YOU. Book of Hebrews beloved saints!

We don’t have an expansive, a broad perspective of our LORD’s kingdom without knowing the divine truths given us in the book of Hebrews! Example: Where is Jesus? What is He doing?

Read Hebrews, asking your LORD to grant you a deeper revelation of who He is.

“Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. ¹²Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:10-12

In this most glorious chapter (Isaiah 53), God’s Word tells us that our Great Intercessor, Jesus Christ, “bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

In Spite of, Not Because of …..

Always remember that JESUS alone is the reason “we are more than conquerers.” Read it closely:

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US … WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS.” Romans 8:37; 5:8

You and I were never worthy of what God provided to purchase us back to Himself – in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. He did it not because of you but in spite of you – of your sin.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. … 8 But God commendeth (exhibited) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6, 8

WHO FOUND WHO? WHO Rescued Who?

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. … We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:9, 10, 19

There are blessings untold that have been provided for God’s children through Christ our LORD by whom the Father reconciled us back to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19). The name, blood, and merit of Jesus Christ is our only and exclusive access to the Father! (Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:14-16; 7:24-26) Have you studied the book of Hebrews lately to begin to uncover the infinitely superior divine nature of the Testator of the New Covenant and the myriad of blessings He procured for us through His precious blood?

Praying in Christ’s Kingdom is Definitive and Absolute

In Christ’s kingdom, praying is not a guessing game or a roll of the dice. Believers don’t need to “make a wish” because they have a God who answers all their prayers! The Almighty Himself beckons His children to simply “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

When God sent His only begotten Son to died and be raised again, it fully satisfied the righteous claims of His justice to redeem mankind.

1 Timothy 3:16 informs us that “God was manifest in the flesh” and that we know was the very Son of God. The study of Christ (Christology), that is, knowing just who Jesus is from the thorough study of His Word, will reveal to your heart all that He came to do. That is, you will begin to learn and to discover the myriad of benefits He died to purchase for His beloved people.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. ⁷Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. ⁸I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:5-8

You are bought and paid for by the Alpha and Omega who is the beginning and the end of all things – the soon coming KING of all kings, the LORD of all lords (Revelation 19:11-14).

The complete lack of the preaching of Christ’s victory in the modern church is coming from a rebellious people who are making an indictment against God – saying He did not provide through Christ’s sacrifice, every single thing needed to have complete victory.

Capture this Profound Messianic Truth!

Jesus is praying for you in Heaven right now – just as He did when Peter struggled, when Satan sought to sift him.

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I HAVE PRAYED FOR THEE, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” Luke 22:31-32

PERFECT SAVIOR – PERFECT SALVATION
IF you are doing things GOD’s way, tell us all – WHAT has Heaven to give you except VICTORY? Jesus Christ is now in glory, in Heaven, assuring, applying enforcing, implementing, imposing, and administering the victory He died on the cross to procure for His beloved saints (Hebrews 7:24-26).

Now in Heaven at His Father’s right hand, He ever lives to provide what He died to purchase! (Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26)

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32

The salvation He provided is Himself who is the only Savior.

“I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1

Jesus Christ is our all in all. He is our everything! Today, prayerfully pour over Colossians 1-2 in order to begin discovering the infinite riches of Christ – who He is!

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

The whole purpose of eternal life is that we get to know Jesus Christ and the Father who sent Him (John 17:3).

Knowing Him.

Seeking Him.

Loving Him.

Worshiping Him.

Die to self to know Him more.

Crying out with John the baptist, “He must increase but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)

Is it your deepest goal to know Jesus and the Father?

Where is your faith today beloved?

ANY person who doesn’t seek God daily in prayer and the Word does not have Jesus as “first love” and is hell bound! Repent now (Revelation 2:4-5).

God did not send His only begotten Son to make it possible for His people to simply use Him like a formula or magic wand to get what their own selfish, un-sanctified hearts desire. It’s only through personal, intimate, abiding relationship that God answers prayer. Read John 15. Romans 6:1-2 and many other Bible verses make it clear that saving grace abounds to no one-saved person who goes back into sin without repentance. Only those whom Jesus has saved and who abide/remain rooted in relationship with Him will be with Him in eternal glory.

“If ye abide (remain) in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

It’s only in abiding in and obeying Christ that we are assured that our prayers will be answered by Him. Though such a truth is rarely spoken of in the apostate church world, this is an unchanging fact in the divine economy. There simply are no shortcuts.

It is the highest insult to the Father when people claiming to be His do not desire and seek to get to know Him and His Son intimately. Yet, those same self-serving souls want to use Him to get their own selfish desires answered by Him. Amazing betrayal!

“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts (your own selfish desires). ⁴Ye 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 4:3-4

Are you learning of Him or do you simply seek to use Him to get what you want?

Is your deepest desire to know Him more and more?

Do you have an idol of the heart? (Ezekiel 14:3; Revelation 21:8) What / Who truly comes first in your life?

Do you love this world or the One who made it and died for you and is coming back soon?

“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.” 1 John 2:15

Beloved, as an ambassador for Christ, we must learn, observe, and offer the whole message of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Well, let’s say as we study the whole counsel of His blessed Word, maturing as His saints, we are all learning of the LORD a more complete view of His “so great salvation” and need to keep in mind and in our mouths the whole message of the Gospel (Hebrews 2:3). That would include divine mercy on the lost and on the believer who has sinned. Sin (as God defines it in His Word) is an offense Him who is “Holy, holy, holy,” and all sin violates Him – whether that be a lie, coveting in one’s heart, lusting, heresy, slander, stealing anything, or adultery, etc. (Hebrews 2:3; Galatians 5:19-21). The blood of Christ will wash away ALL sin upon confession and repentance (1 John 1:9). Saint, get a revelation of the full and complete salvation God provided us through our LORD Jesus’ blood!!!!! He offered the perfect sacrifice one time (Hebrews 10:12). Repentance is a must initially to be saved and ongoing as needed. Memorize 1 John 1:7. Did God do a complete or partial work through Christ in His salvation to the world?

“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;¹³From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. ¹⁵Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,¹⁶This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;²¹And having an high priest over the house of God;²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;).” Hebrews 10:12-23

Our Fellowship

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3

We were made to know and fellowship with Christ and our Heavenly Father. This is the exact reason He made you.

Jesus Christ is divine (John 1, etc.). He is our Salvation who died on that cross, was buried, and raised again three days later, having purchased perfect and complete salvation to provide all we need and more – even the desire of the heart that is one with Him (Mark 11:24). As our Redeemer and Great Intercessor, Jesus Christ lives to provide what He died to purchase. His blood bought testament is in full force today for all who have come to Him in repentance and faith to be born again (Matthew 26:28).

What is Jesus Doing Now?

Read and listen to these words again, closely:

“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:24-26

“ALL” of God’s many promises, covering every single area of this life, are fully available to you as a blood-purchased saint of Christ. The Father sent His only begotten Son to purchase you back to Himself and to give you the unspeakably rich inheritance of His kingdom. Read Ephesians 1-2 today prayerfully.

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:20

ONE thing is for certain saints – no prayer is answered because of how wonderful an intercessor one has been made to believe he or she is. JESUS CHRIST EARNED, BOUGHT, AND RATIFIED OUR PLACE WITH GOD WITH HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD. Let’s openly reject the cheap substitutes which are lies. We are completely unworthy outside of HIM who bled to buy us back to Himself and His holy Father!!!! Now WHO, what mortal mere man or woman could compare to the matchless Son of the living God??!!!! All these false ministries teaching gullible, biblically-illiterate dupes about intercessory prayer and how it’s all based on THEM instead of JESUS …. no different than the roman catholic cult…. pure antichrist idolatry …. let’s be careful and discerning ….. we just need One and His name is JESUS …. He paid the ultimate price, shedding His precious, sinless, divine blood to give us full access to Himself and His blessed Father, who is now our Father!

Jesus Died to Give Us Full Victory! Listen here. | Prayer

It is to God’s glory that we walk in unison with Christ and appropriate “ALL his benefits.” (Psalms 103:2)

Psalms 103

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

⁴Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁵Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

⁸The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

⁹He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

¹⁴For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁶For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

¹⁸To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

¹⁹The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

²¹Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

²²Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.”

To immediately increase your knowledge of the Savior, study the book of Hebrews and John 1.

Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored

Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.

Romans 6

Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).

“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke

Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation

“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”

“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesus—to be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).

Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….

“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).

Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke

Warning

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15

Coming forth as Purified Gold

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7

“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3

Idolatry is Sin

Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.

One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.

SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.” Daniel 11:32-35

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Christian Soldier persevere. It’s about time for Jesus to come.” RN WHY did the LORD give us physical eyes? Protection. And this is why He wishes to grant us spiritual eyes. We cannot ever fake God out. We cannot deceive the Almighty or short His system – which begins with repenting. It’s only then that He opens our eyes to see which brings protection.

“You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” [podcast]

Many instill fear in Christ’s saints concerning these last days. Paul says: “You Who are Troubled Rest with Us”

“Rest with us” because Justice is Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:3-10

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

The Judgment at Christ’s Coming

5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

The Happenings just before Christ’s Soon Return

Luke 21:25-28

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28

Being Prepared for His Return

Luke 21:34-36

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

Walking unwavering with and suffering with Christ and His body now – as we look forward to being with Him!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

The LORD knows all before it happens and He’s not surprised of anything. God is going to use all these things to conform His people to Christ. Remember, all things are not good but God takes them and uses them to conform us to Christ, to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29

This truth has never been so relevant saints of Christ and the signs of the season of His return are at hand. He’s coming for you precious one!!!! Rescue mission!!! The Return of Heaven’s KING

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

I wonder how full our hearts will be as we become nourished up in His Word concerning Heaven. Will our hearts not burst forth and be filled with excitement, overflowing with joy like before we go on a vacation, the anticipation filling our hearts as we eagerly await being with our glorious Savior and Father? Read John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21.

Calling on the name above all names today. He’s the Maker and Controller of His whole universe and He’s coming back soon to retake control of it all – to decisively, violently put down all of His enemies both demonic and human (Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16).

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

Our LORD Jesus is coming to establish His perfect Government on His earth. Stand by. Occupy. Rejoice. Look up. “Your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

We can be sure that mankind is fallen and cannot solve his own problem – which is sin against His Maker. Only the Prince of Peace, our LORD Jesus, can do so…. and He will (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14

He is going to crush His enemies under His feet (Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27).

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, please break me, cause me to be truly poor in spirit with a humble, contrite heart of flesh. Please grant a deep compassion in me dear LORD Jesus as You conform me to Your holy image in the crucified life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Two Types of Believers – the mere professor and the possessor.

Maria the Evangelist – Mission Mexico is now supporting Maria the Evangelist [VIDEO]

Picked up a portion of the 10,000 JESUS tracts in Spanish. Thank God and you who gave! YOU made this happen.

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20

“God is the Lord of the harvest! And there is a great harvest in Mexico because the fields are white ready to be harvested! And now He is bringing forth Laborers!” Karen Cochran

“That is a powerful ministry. May the Lord bless her and your ministry efforts. Praying for this outreach.” Stacy Strother

The fervor, the fire that burned in me a few days ago is perhaps due to this opportunity, now that sister Maria and others have been added to us to support….. we are in a war for the souls of men saints. Thank you for praying saints. The LORD is doing His work in the hearts of men in Mexico.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20

On this topic, for your exhortation and edification, feel free to listen to the recent podcast titled LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast].

The members of the body of Christ came through and we have the money needed to print the first round of 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Keep in mind that the ministry is also supporting brother Allan Abayon in the Philippines as he ministers God’s Word to the Philippino people.

God is able saints.

Please excuse the zeal. Sometimes I err when wanting to make sure we, as Christ’s body, properly, to well support the ministers of Christ He is giving us to support. When you see the video of Maria in action, you will see the blessing and opportunity God is giving us. And this is all because you prayed as Jesus instructed, for “the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

Have been visiting sister Maria nearly every early evening to give her a big hug, to bless her, to feed her food with cold water, and replenish her supply of the JESUS tracts. In distributing our LORD’s Gospel, Maria misses nearly no one. There’s a constant flow of foot traffic where she ministers and she has a stack of JESUS tracts she keeps replenishing on the store counter that is right there when people check out. Even while we were there last night, the stack diminished visibly.

Today, I picked up a few thousand of the JESUS tracts in Spanish. Next week they will have to have the balance ready to pick up. You made this happen saints! See 1 Corinthians 3:6-9. 10,000 JESUS tracts…..

It lasts longer, and
because printing is more cost effective.

When visiting Maria, she is smiling and moving about so swiftly that it’s actually difficult to get good pics of her in action. She is in her zone, in her JESUS zone! Thank you for lifting up in prayer our dear sister in Christ who is one of His “labourers”! (Matthew 9:35-38) YOU prayed and God is answering!

Juan the evangelist!

Maria the evangelist!

And several more!

WHEN we hand out Gospel tracts today, let the recipients see Christ’s love, joy, and peace beaming in and through your life.

Evangelism God’s Way

We also have Spanish Bibles on the way here which some of your have graciously mailed to us. There’s going to be shipping costs when they arrive. Another great kingdom opportunity!

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

Recently, and on several occasions, because you care, we were able to feed several people, including sister Maria. There’s no telling how long it’s been since she had eaten. She didn’t ask, we asked her and went to get food and water for her (and a few homeless men who also were ministered to) with the Gospel and with food, and cold water to refresh her soul.
