CRUCIRIED, BURIED, AND RESURRECTED WITH CHRIST

Cricified, buried, and resurrected with Christ.

Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I (Gk- Zao) live; yet not I (Gk- Ego), but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I (Gk- Zao) now live in the flesh I (Gk- Zao) live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

There are two Greek words for the English pronoun I.

Zao- to live, breathe, be among the living.

Ego- I, me, my.

The old man, Ego, is crucified with Christ.

Romans 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 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. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 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. 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. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 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? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

WALK IN LOVE

WALK IN L0VE

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Deuteronomy 11:22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

Deuteronomy 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Joshua 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

GOD’S WORK

   My name is Kenneth Hurst and I have been supporting a ministry of the Lord in India. They have asked me to give them my testimony and I am very happy to share it with you as well.

I was about eight years old at a family gathering and my Aunt told all the grandchildren the story of Jesus like this. She held up a black piece of paper and said, “This is what your heart looks like without Jesus.” Then she held up a red piece of paper and said, “When you ask Jesus to come into your heart the blood of Jesus washes away all the darkness.” Then she held up a white piece of paper and said, “After you ask Jesus to come into your heart you are clean on the inside.” What a picture. I invited Jesus to come into my heart.  It is the same for all believers every day.  Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Here is a description of the work that is going on in India.

Dear Friends;

My name is Prem Kumar Chadalavada from Jangareddygudem, Andhra Pradesh, India. I started Jaymamma Ministries, a non-governmental orgaization, in 2016 to preach the Gospel and serve the needs of the underprivileged. There are many orphans, street children, abandoned babies, and aged people around my home town. I’ve also been serving in tribal villages across India and it’s been an incredible journey. I am thrilled to have recently connected with Brother Ken in the USA. His powerful testimony has deeply inspired me and wherever I travel I share his story with others. In many of these villages the people don’t have access to Bibles so when I share scriptures they often struggle to understand. But when I share Brother Ken’s testimony they listen with eagerness and joy. His story speaks directly to the hearts of people. We need mighty hands to join with us and pray. We request that you keep us in your regular prayers as we also pray for you.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN.

Be thankful for the blood of Jesus- part 3

God decreed that there is no remission (forgiveness, or pardon) of sin without the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

No salvation without the blood of jesus- Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

No atonement- Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement (to cover, or purge) for the soul.

No redemption- Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption (payment of a ransom) through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

No propitiation– Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (pleasing sacrifice) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

No cleasing- Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

No justification- Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified (declared righteous) by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

No peace or fruit of the Spirit- Colossians 1:19-20 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

No new covenant- 1 Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

No sanctification- Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified (set apart for a purpose), an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

No protection- Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

No healing- 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

No victory- Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

No reconciliation- 2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled (united) us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

No life- 1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

No presence of God- Hebrews 10:19-20 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

No sonship- Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

There is NO FELLOWSHIP without the blood of Jesus.

1 John 1:5-7 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, The everlasting Father.

Isaiah 9:6 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.

John 5:22-23 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Hebrews 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

OUR FATHERS

GOD IS THE FATHER OF LIFE

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Proverbs 8:1, 23-25, 30, 35 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? … I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: … Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; … For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

GOD’S OWN PRECIOUS LIFE IN THE BLOOD OFJESUS

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

2 Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

1 Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious (God’s own) blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

1 John 5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

JESUS IS THE FATHER OF THE CHURCH, THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE, THE HEAD OF THE BODY.

Isaiah 9:6-7 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. 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.

Hebrews 2:10-13 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Ephesians 2:19-22 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Colossians 1:17-19 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 45-49 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. … And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening (life giving) spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Hebrews 9:11-12 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 10:19-20 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

THE RIVER OF LIFE PROCEEDING OUT OF THE THRONE OF GOD AND THE LAMB.

Psalm 46:4-5 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Ezekiel 47:9-12 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

Revelation 3:21-22 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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 22:1-5 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face (face to face); and his name shall be in their foreheads (know as we are known). And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

MORE THAN YOU THINK

A message from a friend.

God Is Able To Do Immeasurably More Than All We Ask Or Imagine.

Greetings to all of you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

_(Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us Ephesians 3:20)_

Dearly beloved, Today what is the pressing need that makes you unhappy? Are you sunk in disbelief? Look up to God. Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Let not your heart be troubled. God’s ways are higher than your ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The Bible says, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).  “Immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” in simple terms means, instead of the healing that you ask for, He will bless you with divine health so that no disease will ever attack you and He will use you to heal others too!  

Instead of barely meeting your needs, He will make you rich enough to give to others! Instead of just protecting you from evil things, He will make you as one who breaks down the devil’s kingdom.

Beloved, God awaits to perform wonders in your life.  To enjoy His miracles, keep gazing at His beauty, strength, power, grace and promises.  Faith conceives in your heart as you ponder Him all day long.  Naturally, miracles burst forth like a mushroom as every word that you meditate on is like a seed! The Bible assures, “…do you believe? You will see greater things than these” (John 1:50). 

Hence, let your mind travel beyond your sorrows, lack, and shame and look at the glorious things He has for you.  “The One who breaks open the way will go up before you; you will break through the gate and go out. Your King will pass through before you, the Lord at your head” (Micah 2:13).

Prayer- Dear Lord, I thank You for Your wonderful promises. Please remove my disbelief.  Even now, fill me with faith and hope.  I believe that You will bless me more than I could ever ask or imagine.  

Lord, I receive Your unfathomable wonders and great miracles beyond my understanding.  In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

God bless you all. 

ABIDING IN JESUS

A message from a friend.

Living Like Jesus.

Greetings to all of you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

_(Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did. 1 John 2:6)_ 

Dearly beloved, To know about the life of Jesus, how He lived His life on this earth, you have to flip through the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. 

There you read about the zealous life of Jesus; He was full of humility and honesty. He abided with God and fulfilled the will of His Father. 

Not only that, the Gospels tell us about the godly characteristics that Jesus had. He went about doing good deeds in the image of God. 

Therefore, you too must follow the footsteps of Christ and lead a godly life. As the Bible says, “ Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did” 1 John 2:6. 

We should walk in the ways of the Lord and to carry out His ministry as mentioned in Isaiah 59:21, “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord”. 

Dearly Beloved! Will you cast away all the wrong approaches to life and walk in the ways of the Lord today? Are you ready to become a child of Jesus, like the wayward wife who turned to the Lord? 

You never know, what the day brings but if you have the characteristic traits like Jesus; it will be easy for you to handle every situation. If you are rooted deep in the Lord, only then you will bear fruits worthy of His calling. 

Jesus says, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me” John 15:4. 

So, when you abide in Jesus; it implies you walk in His ways. This way, you avoid the snares of the evil one and have the right approach to people; sharing the love of Christ. You become a channel of blessing to others. 

Prayer- Savior Jesus Christ, you have set a great example before me to lead a godly life. I seek your grace to follow your footsteps and live a pious life. 

Lord Lead me and guide me to fulfill your will in my life. In the matchless name of Jesus I pray. Amen 

This day, God bless you all abundantly. 

REMEMBER!

REMEMBER THIS DAY

Exodus 12:13-14 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

2 Peter 1:5-9 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath FORGOTTEN that he was purged from his old sins.

THE INVISIBLE SUPERNATURAL WORK OF GOD IN YOU.

Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

John 3:1-8 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

1 Peter 1:22-23 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:9-10 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire (light):

Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

Colossians 1:10-14 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

WE MUST NOT FORGET TO WASH OUR ROBES IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB EVERY DAY.  LIKE THIS, “I CLAIM THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER MY CARNAL NATURE.  I WASH MY ROBE AND MAKE IT WHITE.”

Hebrews 10:19-23 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let 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. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Revelation 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

GOD’S PLAN

A message from a friend.

God Has Plans For You To Give You Hope And Future?*

Greetings to all of you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

_(For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11)_ 

Dearly beloved,  Is any fear, doubt, anxiety tormenting you as you look at your future? 

Be encouraged to know that when God holds your future you need not worry about anything. 

He closely watches over you. You can overcome every situation through His power embedded in you. 

In Luke 10:19, Jesus says, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”  

So, do not allow fear to have hold on you. God has great plans for you as per Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Humble beginnings cannot be despised! As John 1:13 says, “You are children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”   

So, walk as Jesus walked on this earth.  Use your authority and declare God’s kingdom in your life, family and nations.  Remember that you carry the heavenly Father’s gene in which there is no flaw.  

So every day when you wake up in the morning, instead of underestimating yourself, say, “I am special. I am created in God’s image.  I have a God-given purpose in this earth.  

I have authority over every wile of the devil.  I will enjoy God’s kingdom here on earth.” Yes, you are already labeled as a winner! Christ is your hope. He will prosper you. 

*?Prayer:* Dear Father, I regret for the days that I devalued myself. I pluck out all the negative words spoken over my life by myself and others.  I decide to see myself in the Word of God.  

Lord, I reject any weapon of the devil that has been designed to deviate me from God’s best.  I am blessed and will be a blessing to my family and nations.  

Lord, help me to see the bright future through the humble beginnings.  In Jesus’ name we pray Amen. 

This day, God bless you all abundantly. 

GOD’S WORK

I have been supporting a ministry of the Lord in India for quite a while and they have asked me to give them my testimony. I am very happy to share it with you as well.

Here is the story of how I was born again. I was eight and a half years old when my family visited my mother’s parents. She was one of five children and they all got together in the summertime. There were thirteen grandchildren. My Aunt got all of the grandchildren together and said that she wanted to practice her Sunday School lesson with us. She was making sure we heard the story of Jesus. She held up a black piece of paper and said, “This is what your heart looks like without Jesus in your heart.”  Then she held up a red piece of paper and covered the black piece of paper and said, “When you ask Jesus to come into your heart the blood of Jesus covers all of the darkness in your heart.” Then she held up a white piece of paper and covered the black piece of paper and said, “This is what your heart, your inner person, looks like after you have invited Jesus to come into your heart.”  What a great picture.  I invited Jesus into my heart.  I am still learning as the Lord has said, “Remember this day.” Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day. As I continue to be a part of this ministry I’d like to extend an invitation to you to join with us with your prayers and donations.

Best regards and

God bless.

Here is a description of the work that is going on in India.

Dear Friends;

My name is Prem Kumar Chadalavada from Jangareddygudem, Andhra Pradesh, India. I started Jaymamma Ministries, a non-governmental orgaization, in 2016 to serve the needs of the underprivileged. I have a vision and have been guided by the Holy Spirit to nurture others. My ministry was officially registered in 2018 and there are many orphans, street children, abandoned babies, and aged people around my home town. I’ve also been serving in tribal villages across India and it’s been an incredible journey. I can show some pictures of the work I have been doing. Jayamma Ministries has been serving for the Glory of God for many yaers and I’m thrilled to have recently connected with Brother Ken in the USA. His powerful testimony has deeply inspired me and wherever I travel I share his story with others. In many of these villages the people don’t have access to Bibles so when I share scriptures they often struggle to understand. But when I share Brother Ken’s testimony they listen with eagerness and joy. His story speaks directly to the hearts of people. We need mighty hands to join with us and pray. We request that you keep us in your regular prayers and thoughts as we also pray for you.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Prem

COME BEFORE THE LORD

COME BEFORE THE LORD WITH REVERANCE AND JOY.

Matthew 11:28-30 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.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly (Gk. Parreisa- free and fearless confidence and assurrance, cheerful courage) unto the throne of grace (good will, lovliness), that we may obtain mercy (kindness), and find grace to help in time of need.

THE MORNING AND EVENING SACRIFICES BEFORE THE LORD.

Exodus 29:38-46 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.

1 Chronicles 16:28-29 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness (apart from the world).

Psalm 100 (A Psalm of praise) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Isaiah 12:1-6 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

JESUS BEGAN HIS PRAYER WITH REVERANCE FOR THE NAME OF GOD. SINCERE PRAYER BRINGS THE REWARDS OF GOD. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT ASK.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Matthew 6:5-13 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye:

THE MODEL PRAYER

Our Father …Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

which art in heaven, …Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Hallowed (separate) be thy name. …Leviticus 22:31-33 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you, That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.

Thy kingdom come. …2 Thessalonians 1:10 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.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. …Matthew 18:18-20 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Give us this day our daily bread. …Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. …Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

And lead us not into temptation, …1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

but deliver us from evil: …Psalm 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

For thine is the kingdom, …Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

and the power, ...Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

and the glory, for ever. Amen. …Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

PAUL AND SILAS WERE REVERENT AND REJOICED BEFORE THE LORD.

Acts 16:25-26 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

TRANSFORMED

A MESSAGE FROM A BROTHER.

The Lord Is Upright And Faithful To His Promises.

Greetings to all of you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Psalm 92:15.

Dearly beloved, it is a great joy to bring you God’s promise for this day. I ask you also to receive it with joy in your heart.

The Promise is taken from Psalm 92:15 which says, “The Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

Yes, there is no wickedness in the Lord Almighty because He is holy and pure. When you have Him as your Rock you will also have no wickedness in you.

In John 1:47 “Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said concerning him, “See! Here is an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile or deceit.”

Such was a man called Nathaniel. Yes, God is going to call you also as a person in whom there is no deceit.

Do you know why? It is because of the nature of God. We tend to conform to the character and nature of the person we are closely associated with.

The promise verse says “The Lord is upright, faithful, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” When you have this Holy God by your side you will be transformed into His image.

My friend, make reading the Bible the first thing in the morning as your daily routine and also give thanks and pray to Him. This will transform you.

As you pray, the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth through the Word of God. You will have no falsehood or lies in you. There will be only purity and truth. Today, ask God for His grace for this gift.

Prayer; My loving Heavenly Father, Thank you for today’s promise. Help me to have you always by my side as my rock. Lord, make me holy and pure like you are so that you find no deceit in me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

This day, God bless you all abundantly.
