COME TO HIM
The Lord changes us from the inside out.
Our walk with the Lord is not about trying harder to be a good Christian but dying deeper—by COMING TO HIM in humility.
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:10
Humbling ourselves is not only essential to entering into God’s kingdom, but also a huge stumbling block for many, as Satan has erected the stronghold of pride in the sinful nature of humankind in the Garden of Eden, beginning with Adam and Eve. Pride (wanting to be like God) is what got them expelled from God’s presence.
Striving to enter the kingdom is by humbling ourselves as a little child and COMING TO HIM.
“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Luke 13:24
“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:2-3
A little child is spontaneous, free, without restraint, and like a sponge that picks up (learns) everything around him.
COME TO HIM to learn from Him:
Jesus calls us to take on His yoke of humility and learn from Him about being meek and lowly in heart.
“COME UNTO ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
“And he (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23
“He (Jesus) must increase (in us), but I must decrease.” John 3:30
“Not my will, but thine be done.” Luke 22:42
Dying on the cross, Jesus said “It is finished.”
“After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:28-30
His work is complete, perfect and thorough. And He did it for us!
Our part is to COME TO HIM.
He has given to us in HIMSELF and His Word “all things that pertain to life and godliness.”
He has given to us, by His Holy Spirit, “his divine power” that worketh in us:
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13
COME TO HIM to know Him:
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” 1 Peter 2:2-3
COME TO HIM to be sanctified:
He has given to us in HIS WORD—the Bible— “all things that pertain unto life and godliness” and “glory and virtue”—sanctification.
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises (His Word): that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 1 Peter 2:4
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word (the Bible) is truth.” John 17:17.
“That he might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
COME TO HIM for joy, righteousness and peace:
“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy (doing the will of His Father) might remain in you, and that your joy (doing the will of your heavenly Father) might be full.” John 15:11
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Romans 14:17
As we COME TO HIM daily, HE will change us.
HE has fought the battle.
This battle is not ours but the LORD’S—and He has won the battle “It is finished.”
The blood of Christ shed for us on Calvary bought our freedom from the slavery of sin:
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
We war not with carnal weapons but spiritual:
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Hallelujah!!! Praise our Lord God Almighty!
We reap the victory that Jesus Christ won on the cross of Calvary by COMING TO HIM daily
in obedience, submitting humbly, repenting of our sins, being washed clean by the Word and forgiving others. These acts of obedience are “mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds”:
- “Submit yourselves therefore to God. (COME TO HIM humbly, bowing down before Him releasing all of your life to Him, dying to self so Jesus may be raised up in you. Romans 6:4-8.) Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
- Draw nigh to God (COME TO HIM), and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:8
- COME TO HIM daily to repent and be forgiven of our sins and to forgive others:
“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Matthew 6:9-12
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
COME TO HIM
“And I, If I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” John 12:32
Respond to the power of His drawing! COME TO HIM.
“We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:9 COME TO HIM.
COME TO HIM EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY SITUATION.
If you are reading these words, and a sinner, you are in big trouble with judgment pending. Today is your day to come to Jesus, to receive Him as the LORD of your life and be completely forgiven, washed from all your sins. Life will never get better and perhaps only worse until you do so…
Your Prayer to God …
Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud: …. Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to you as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 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:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Goal of the Ungodly Eternal Security Teachers [podcast]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“This is AWESOME! You got all over it. It really flowed. Excellent! In the delivery, your excitement and passion for this subject are unmistakable. How can ANYONE listen to this and not want to check out the Word of God for themselves?” Debbie L.
“Thy prophets (false leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (exposed) thine iniquity (have not uncovered your sin), to turn away thy captivity (to get you set free from it); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment (ultimate termination into hell).” Lamentations 2:14
COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)
