EVERY soul on earth desires peace. The “peace OF God” only comes through “peace WITH God.”
Consider:
“And the peace OF God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace WITH God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1
Jesus beckons…
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
The Master beckons us to “learn of me.” In this He calls us first to “Come unto” Him and issues the promise of His “rest” to those who do – “ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Ever feel the need for true “rest” deep in your soul?
DO we not seek to use our own mind power to figure out how our lives will proceed and succeed? (Proverbs 3:5-6) Are we still wrestling with those things which concern and entangle us? Jesus calls us to come to Him and to rest in Him (Matthew 11:28-30). In our toiling, the prince of peace whispers to our hearts today, calling us forth to say with Him to the Father “not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42) Dare you hand your will over to the Father today? Will you trust Him to do His bidding and bring about His perfect will in your life? With the cross in place, the LORD guarantees a raising up which will without fail yield divine results (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Is our will and obedience involved in this equation? Yes. Let us “fight the good fight of faith” as we “labour therefore to enter into that rest.” (1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 4:11)
Beloved, just how many times do we toil instead of coming to Him? Are not pride and self-sufficiency at the root of our delay in coming to Him? How much we truly forfeit when we do not take everything to God in prayer! Father forgive us! How many times we “labour and are heavy laden” with suffering and sin and delay to confess it in repentance and receive immediate forgiveness and refreshing from Him who bled to instantly omit it all and clear our conscience! LORD Jesus quicken us to “come unto” Thee who is our blessed hope, life, and our salvation!
When we “come unto” Jesus we bask in the love of “the God of all comfort” who undertakes our cause because He promised that if we “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”(2 Cor. 1:2-4; James 4:8) When we return to Him, casting off pride, unbelief, self-effort, and reliance, we are blessed to “learn of” Him, whereby we “find rest” deep in our hearts from the Savior whose “yoke is easy” and whose “burden is light.”
When we are coming to and learning of Jesus, we are learning His cross – to lay down our lives so He can raise US up for His glory! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
Repentance is the only way God forgives, cleanses, and refreshes. Repentance is required to touch the BLOOD of of Jesus and be saved!.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Jesus is saying “I will give you rest” and do My good pleasure in your life if you will “Come unto me.” Isn’t Jesus saying in effect: “Come to Me my beloved. I love you and want to conform your life to Mine and to ease your burdens in My love and grant rest to your soul, so come to Me and let’s commune. I want to work in your life but you must choose to come to Me for this deeper work and communion to transpire. Come before Me and I will continue that good work of conforming you into my image that I begun the day I saved you.”
He said “ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price.” (1 Cor. 6:19-20) The LORD saved us for His purpose and not ours and will He not cause our lives to be “conformed to the image of his Son” and “freely give us all things” needed to accomplish this when we come to Him?
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…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 8:29, 32
Prayer to return home, coming to to Him afresh: Father, I thank You that You are a good God. I this moment come to Thee and to Jesus Christ my LORD and Savior. Bless me to know You deeper today LORD. I love You. I confess that I have not sought You as I should and ask You to forgive that sin and all other sins I have committed against You. Cleanse me and quicken me to make amends wherever needed, where I have offended others. Father, the name of Jesus, please cause Your holy love to overflow in my life onto others. Amen.

Mission Mexico Part 26

Our LORD is Changing Lives here in Mexico
Last week our brother in Christ Vicente had a financial need and you met that need for Vicente and his family.
I brought him the money and he was… absolutely elated. He had been telling me about this pretty serious need for a few weeks. Finally I brought him the money he needed. God is able amen saints.
Update: Vicente update: I ran into our brother Vicente this morning and he was ministering to some men who were a work crew right outside of his restaurant on the street. I quickly handed him about 40 JESUS tracts and he began passing them to the men. Going to be supplying Vicente with more of the JESUS tract in Spanish soon.
Our brother is super overjoyed for the help he received to get his family vehicle repaired.
Jesus is God.
He’s coming.
More on the ministry to the Spanish speaking peoples of our LORD’s world! In the fellowship with the Florida group, a dear lady named Hilda repented and received Christ. Thank you for thanking our LORD for saving her and for His perfect will to be done in Hilda’s life. Phil 1:6
Excellent fruitful ministry time with Alex today. He’s also been sent the Born Again book in Spanish (PDF). Would you like to pause and ask God to bless, to save this man? (Ps 2:8; Acts 3:26)
Your prayers and support make this mission work to these beautiful, ultra-receptive people possible.
No religious organization or rich people support this Gospel mission. God is the Author of it!
Thousands have received the Gospel by the spoken ministry of the Word in Spanish and the JESUS tract.
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Cor 3:9
“Matthew 5:3! No one wants to be in a humble state of submission in America. Even the so-called Christians! And be needy and weak. Like a little child. They pride themselves on all they can do. And why do I need God I can do it myself! This is why I love hearing testimonies of the people of Mexico who are poor in spirit, meek and humble! Without this you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Karen Cochran
Thank you for lifting in prayer the Mexican people – that many more will be saved and established in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4).

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”
© 2001 by David W. Daniels
Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?
Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.
[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]
Sanctioning the Authorized Version
When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.
Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:
“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”
At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:
I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!
When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND
APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES
The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.
