JESUS wants us


The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 12:30

King James Version

30 He that is not with me is against me; 

and he that gathereth not with me 

scattereth abroad.


Are you where you need to be?

Or are you someplace else?

Are you constantly wandering?

Looking for something, which seems elusive?

Feeling that you are seeking a home?

Feeling that you need to be home?

Feeling that you're not home?

Feeling empty?


What is home for most of us?

A family that loves us.

A place of comfort and security.

A place to grow in.


What is home for the born again?

JESUS.

2 Corinthians 3:5

King James Version

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves 

to think any thing as of ourselves; 

but our sufficiency is of God;


If you want peace, you need to be home with JESUS.

This is how much JESUS wants you:

Matthew 9:10-13

King James Version

10 And it came to pass, 

as Jesus sat at meat in the house, 

behold, many publicans and sinners came 

and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, 

they said unto his disciples, 

Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, 

he said unto them, 

They that be whole need not a physician, 

but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, 

I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: 

for I am not come to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.


Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come to seek 

and to save that which was lost.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


Why are you all over the place?

Come home to JESUS now.

Know of His works.

Know of His Word.

Know of His love.

In JESUS is peace.

POWERFUL first VERSES

 

Proverbs 30:5

King James Version

5 Every word of God is pure: 

he is a shield unto them 

that put their trust in him.


The day GOD made me born again, He fed me His WORD right away.

In great hunger, and thirst, I devoured the first four gospels.

Every passage from JESUS seems to speak to me.

Today marks my 43rd month as born again.

As if to make up for the long journey I took, GOD gave me a "shortcut".

He led me to these powerful verses on day one.

These shaped the work I was to do.

Of course, I wrote them on index cards.

That I may remember forever how it all began for me.

The main one was this:

Matthew 23:8-12

King James Version

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: 

for one is your Master, even Christ; 

and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: 

for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: 

for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you 

shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; 

and he that shall humble himself 

shall be exalted.


With those powerful verses in place, these followed soon after:

Matthew 6:34

King James Version

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 

for the morrow shall take thought 

for the things of itself. 

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

King James Version

19 But when they deliver you up, 

take no thought how or what ye shall speak: 

for it shall be given you in that same hour 

what ye shall speak.

King James Version

20 For it is not ye that speak, 

but the Spirit of your Father 

which speaketh in you.

only believe.

with the holy angels.

33 Take ye heed, 

watch and pray:

for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,

he find you sleeping.

The SEARCH is OVER

 

John 4:10

King James Version

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, 

If thou knewest the gift of God, 

and who it is that saith to thee, 

Give me to drink; 

thou wouldest have asked of him, 

and he would have given thee living water.


I was once a very thirsty person.

Always thirsting for knowledge.

Always searching for truth.

That thirst was finally quenched, when GOD made me born again.

It started out strangely that day.

Where it seemed to be a fruitless day, everything finally came to fruition.

The HOLY SPIRIT of GOD led me to two Bible prophecy videos which started the ball rolling.

The knowledge that this is a very disturbed world.

A world waiting for correction.

That we are all steeped in sin.

That, only by GOD's GRACE, are we still standing here.

That JESUS is our only HOPE.

That He is our only TRUTH.

That LIFE springs from Him.

That He is the ONLY WAY back to GOD.

Many things the HOLY SPIRIT taught me.

Every moment of the day, for nearly 33 months, straight.

It's all on my blogs, and books.

The BIBLE has so many treasures.

Apostle John said something significant:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things 

which Jesus did, 

the which, 

if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books that should be written. 

Amen.


Now that GOD led me to the Bible, I am happy, peaceful, grateful, content, blessed.

For the Bible holds GOD's TRUTH.

The search is over.

I've found truth, through Scripture.

The Holy Spirit teaches me each day.

He makes Scripture easy to understand.

Especially if you have a childlike heart.

A very eager, teachable, open heart.

With no sense of pride, or ego.

With no sense of entitlement.

Just meekness, at how little we understand GOD's WAYS.

But through the Bible, we can begin to.

Living by the Bible has become my main focus now.

It tells me everything I need to be, think, say, and do.

To be acceptable in the eyes of GOD.

There is no desire to be accepted by the world.

There is only a desire that all listen to the WORD of GOD.

Before it becomes too late.

GOD did not forget me.

He knew I searched for Him.

All my life.

He knew, I wouldn't stop, till I did.

And He was just there, watching my goings-on.

Knowing how very thirsty I was.

Knowing only through Him, could I find nourishment.

I thirst no more.

John 4:14

King James Version

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water 

that I shall give him shall never thirst; 

but the water that I shall give him 

shall be in him a well of water 

springing up into everlasting life.


Isaiah 12:2-3

King James Version

2 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.

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water 

out of the wells of salvation.


John 10:10

King James Version

10 The thief cometh not, 

but for to steal, 

and to kill, 

and to destroy: 

I am come that they might have life, 

and that they might have it more abundantly.

INSIDIOUS soul destroyer

 

LIKE a CANCER cell:

Proverbs 14:30

King James Version

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: 

but envy the rottenness of the bones.


Satan's ways are insidious.

His ways eat up into our soul.

Like a cancer cell, it worms its way in.

If we're not awake, and aware, he will destroy our soul.

That's why it's insidious.

He feeds on our ignorance.

He feeds on our wickedness.

He feeds on our pride.

He feeds on our vanity.

He feeds on our greed.

He feeds on our lust.

He feeds on our envy.

He feeds on unbelievers.

He feeds on our soul weakness.

That's why it seems undetectable.

Satan is an assassin.

A very jealous assassin.

How envious he is of JESUS.

Causing the LORD's death at the cross.

Not knowing GOD has a greater plan.

1 Corinthians 2:8

King James Version

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: 

for had they known it, 

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.


But such is envy.

Eating up at your soul.

Blinding your thinking.

Boiling your blood.

Causing murder and mayhem.

Wanting what belongs to others.

Thinking up ways for revenge.

Expecting entitlement for yourself.

Scripture speaks of the deep source of war, in yourself.

And in others:

James 4:1-3

King James Version

4 From whence come wars and fightings among you

come they not hence, 

even of your lusts that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: 

ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: 

ye fight and war, 

yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, 

because ye ask amiss, 

that ye may consume it upon your lusts.


How to conquer Satan, and envy?

James 4:7

King James Version

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 

Resist the devil, 

and he will flee from you.
