The Single Most Important Question

This question will be asked at least once in your lifetime. That question is who do you say Jesus is? The question to ask yourself is if you were to die tomorrow where would you spend eternity? Not sure...Think that all your good deeds or the way you lived gets you into heaven. Think again. Maybe you think if you live a certain way that you will come back until you get it right? Isn't that depressing? None of us is perfect, so how could we possibly think we could ever achieve what only Jesus achieved? For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 We all sin, ever lie, it's a sin, say the "F" word, still a sin. We were born into sin, (Adam & Eve) John 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Because God is so holy and we are not- all sin is sin. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 

Maybe you are mad at God or think he's mad at you? Watch this amazing sermon by Todd White. (Click his name to see the sermon) Believe in science. Science actually proves the bible story after story. Who do you think created science? As humans we believe in text books, text books are written and re-written & we believe what is in them. What is re-written is changed or corrected. The bible has never been changed or corrected. The bible is not only a book of instructions for every situation that will ever arise, but it's Gods words for us. The bible is inspired by God and yes flawed humans wrote accurate records of Gods dealings with mankind.  Do you know any other kind of humans? I don't. Inspired by God means God breathed. God is supernatural. If you are not sure about it, ask God to reveal himself to you by speaking to you though the bible. Everything God does is because he loves us so very much. God cannot lie and his words are the truth. Education has not brought enlightenment to the world. Has education given you personal peace and kept you from experiencing personal pain and broken relationships? Has science solved the deepest problems of our souls? No it certainly has not. Yes we live longer or more comfortably but you will still face death. (Isaiah 53 Explained Mitch Glaser). You can even repeat mantras that make you feel better temporarily but ultimately you will not gain true peace unless you know Jesus the Messiah as your personal Lord & Savior. 

Mark 8:29 Then he asked them, "But who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah." You will be asked the same. So, how will you answer? 

God is madly in love with you, he's not mad at you or trying to get you & he's always with us, you can ignore him, even reject him & he never leaves us. How do I know? John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Deuteronomy 31:6 So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." He is faithful! He is the best Father you could ever get. Maybe your earthly father didn't love you properly or you feel alone. Maybe you are afraid to trust. Maybe your heart is so broken you just gave up. God is a heart doctor and he can heal anything you have. He doesn't want religion or religious rituals, he wants you! He wants a relationship everyday all day for eternity. Maybe someone religious was living wrong and that changed your mind or a religious leader did the wrong thing. God is not people, people are imperfect, God is perfect and sinless. He would never hurt us in fact, everything he does is for us.  Romans 8:31-32 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 

Jesus died on a cross for our sins, for you and I. He did not wait for us to be perfect, all cleaned up before he loved us. He loves us sin & all, then died for us so we could be reconciled with God. That is amazing love! A free gift wrapped in Grace for you & I. 

Romans 10:9-10
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” 

Salvation prayer (you must speak this outloud and mean it in your heart)
Lord today I give you my life, come into my heart and wash me clean. I repent of my sins. Send your holy spirit to live inside of me. Jesus, I declare that you are the messiah and the Lord of my life. I acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah that he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the Third day so I could be made right with God In Jesus name Amen

If you said that prayer you are saved. What that means is you are getting into heaven and that you now belong to Jesus Christ. I hope you choose life and the love of God! Your life will never be the same. If you reject him, you are rejecting a life with Christ and an eternity with him further accepting an eternity in hell. So at this moment you have two choices, accept him as Lord & savior or reject him. 


God Bless,

Be Still

I have spoken to over 30 attorneys, the news, local papers, senators, the FBI, Common Counsil, State Troopers, wrote the mayor 3 times only to get sued, fought crooked insurance companies you name it just about anyone you can think of in the chain of command that is supposed to help a family. What I found out is the system is broken. Most importantly I fought instead of quitting! God is fighting for me and that gives me peace. One place passes you to another shrugging off any accountability and covering for their corrupted counter-parts. It's disgusting! There was not one decent person who cared. I found out that God loves me. I found out that he is a God of justice. If you have a small town like Danbury where everyone is doing favors for each-other but not for me, than you have absolutely no rights.  Pretty much it's corrupt from the bottom to the top and no one cared to help. It was awful and overwhelming. I realized that ALL power comes from up above. That's right, my Father, (Heavenly Father). My father owns it ALL and all power comes from above! I am now watching God work on my behalf in amazing ways. I find peace in him & knowing that he is a God of justice I have faith that not only is he going to change this crazy situation around, he is going to bring us out better than we were before. I will continue to stay in Faith, standing on Gods promises and living my life fully & joyfully. God promises double for your trouble (Job 42:10) -whew I'm about to get a blessing so wonderful that I cannot even imagine. My heart is grateful and even though the storm raged around us I found God protecting us, giving us peace. I recently spoke to a woman in another state who told me she had an issue with her home where the septic wasn't on her property, she said it took 8 years and a senator to get it fixed, it happened to eight other families on the same block. What can I do to make fix this house? Nothing and no human being can fix it either. It's for God to fix. I've learned that I if I simply trust God turn it all over to him and do the things he expects of me while I'm waiting, that he will make a way where their is no way. In looking back, God knew we would encounter all of this, he purposely had the land not belong to the City, just like how he parted the waters for Moses, putting the land in so that the Jews could escape before anyone knew (accept God) he put the land in for me. That's right I was sued for land not owned by the City. Wow for me, little old me. He loves me that much that he carefully crafted a piece of the earth not to belong to the City. Well it really all belongs to God anyway but you know what I mean. I was so focused on the problem and I needed to focus on God. God is bigger than any government agency, any neighbor who's hell bent on hurting you, anything and everything I am facing. God is bigger than your problems and I realized, he is the answer. He is the answer to every problem. I'm excited to see what God will do next. It's amazing that the God who created the heavens & earth cares about me. It's amazing that I have ideas on what I think will happen & than God shows up in a major way, blowing away all my ideas and fixing things in a way that is better than what I could dream or imagine. What I needed was to be still and let God take over. Sometimes all we need is to just be still and know that he is God! Psalm 46:10
