JESUS and His MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION

2 Corinthians 5:17-19

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God, 

who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, 

and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, 

that God was in Christ, 

reconciling the world unto himself, 

not imputing their trespasses unto them; 

and hath committed unto us 

the word of reconciliation.

That's really what JESUS had done -- reconciled us with God.

All His disciples did the same.

GOD is always the destination, the end-result of all our efforts at following JESUS, and being taught by the Holy SPIRIT -- for they are the TRIUNE God.

It is always in remembrance of God.

It is always to learn to love God.

It is always to be grateful to God.

Humans have short memories, and we revert to old ways.

We forget the sacrifices of many.

True followers of Jesus remember God ALL the time.

God is the CENTER of our life.

God is our SUPREME focus.

JESUS showed us how.

In His ministry, He never focused attention on Himself.

Everything was focused on the FATHER alone.

All PRAISE was for God.

Even ANGEL messengers always made sure our attention was for God alone.

Nothing mattered but GOD.

That's why God hated idolatry so much.

And the world, especially now, is deep in idolatry.

Idolatry of self, money, fame, beauty, power, technology, and others -- all sorts of appetites and addictions -- simply distractions crafted by the fallen one, waiting in ambush, eager to destroy our souls, and mock God.

We must all RETURN to God.

I had written many articles on how to RECONCILE with God, through JESUS.

From "Archaeologist of the Soul":
2020 articles

From "Prophecy Lessons":
2019 articles
2020 articles

But let GOD have the Last Word:

Isaiah 45:5

King James Version

5 I am the Lord, 

and there is none else, 

there is no God beside me: 

I girded thee, 

though thou hast not known me:

What it Means to WORK for Jesus

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

John 3:30 

King James Version

When I first became a born-again Christian last year, and I learned* of that verse above, I knew that was my "flagship" verse -- the one carrying the "Commander" of my "fleet".

The fleet was my soul.

It was going to be rough seas.

Of course, JESUS was my Commander.

Somehow -- maybe because I searched for it so long -- the moment I knew Jesus was my COMMANDER, my soul instinctively knew what to do.

I shrugged off the talons that previously tried to latch upon my heart, that which made sure I wouldn't find Jesus, or even seek the Lord.

I threw away all the esoteric books of my previous research; I started reading Genesis, the Four Gospels, and Revelation instead.

I made sure Jesus was the only Commander I followed.

I studied the 10 Commandments.

And, of course, I was painfully wrong on so many counts.

Only JESUS could forgive me on all those grievous errors.

Only by the GRACE of God could I be reconciled with God.

In my work, every article written had to be backed by SCRIPTURE, and not like how I did it before, through my own "steam" and energy.

Now, it was ALL Spirit.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, 

and cause you to walk in my statutes, 

and ye shall keep my judgments, 

and do them.

Ezekiel 36:27 

King James Version 

The Holy SPIRIT was a gift from God, tasked to teach us all things. 

In the beginning, GOD gave us everything.

Then, our hard-heartedness caused JESUS to be sent to save us from our sins.

And when Jesus went back to the Father, it's now the Holy SPIRIT which sets everything straight about the TRIUNE God, and everything about Scripture.

It really is the ERA of the Holy SPIRIT now, at this very crucial stage of our lives, where nothing seems to make sense in this world -- where all our souls are at stake.

More than ever, we need the SPIRIT of TRUTH, which is the Holy Spirit of God.

That's what it means to work for JESUS.

You listen to the Holy SPIRIT of God, you become obedient to the LAWS of God, you follow JESUS, and only by GRACE are we saved.

It was never through good works.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: 

it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, 

lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9 

King James Version

Working for Jesus means you are obedient to the FATHER, as in the first part of the prayer Jesus taught us: 

2 And he said unto them, 

When ye pray, 

say, 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done, 

as in heaven, 

so in earth.

Luke 11:2 

King James Version

All my articles from September 2019, to the present, are all about JESUS now.

You may not be able to imagine the joy and excitement in my heart, at discovering more about the LORD each day, and writing about it.

I couldn't wait to share it all with you.

Some days I write three articles, one after the other.

That's how powerful the Holy SPIRIT is, and I had not seen anything yet.

Well, we did work on 22 books on spiritual warfare in 36 days.

And two more books on Jesus followed.

That was something!

And yet, I never got tired, bored, or confused.

The articles and books just kept coming.

That's how it is to work for Jesus.

Whatever work you may do, I hope you call upon Jesus to help you.

Let the SPIRIT of God shine upon your soul, so you can get things right.

Consider the work you do, sacred.

When you think that, you will call upon God to help you do the best work of your life, if that is really your intention.

The world will be blessed by your work, only if you allow God to work in your heart, to heal you of your ills, to correct whatever errors you may have, and to answer all the questions hovering regarding your heart, mind, body, and spirit.

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7 

King James Version

When you walk with God, when you follow Jesus, you walk with the Holy SPIRIT.

You will always know what to do.

The JOY of Following JESUS

It has been a year, that I first followed Jesus.

I had no idea it would be this FUN!

How the LORD repaired my soul, my strength, my being.

How His Holy SPIRIT taught me things about Him.

How He brought me ever closer to His FATHER.

How my work blossomed, under His care, and guidance.

How all my simple needs are being met.

How nothing else matters, but Him.

How soothing SCRIPTURE is.

How MAGNIFICENT the Lord GOD is!

How I had been writing since 3 a.m., and the ideas continue.

All come from the SPIRIT of God, this new life, these new lessons, this new happiness!

How tireless it is to serve the LORD.

How the perfect verse is supplied, for all my questions.

How perfect understanding is given about those verses.

You see, I approach God from a child's heart, a heart that I will always have.

SPIRIT and I play with ideas, as He allows me to gaily search for verses -- perfect choices for what God wants to say to me, for me, and even "through" me.

As a result, I get to write articles, non-stop, all backed by SCRIPTURE.

Everything is about JESUS now.

How the Lord is wonderful, merciful, loving, glorious, magnificent, and consistent.

How I seem to be living in a world all my own, just God, and I.

How I understand the world, and have no fear about what it's doing.

How my faith rests in JESUS alone.

"The reason most people don't have a testimony, 
is they can't defend their faith." 

Dr. Charles F. Stanley declared that on the 27:53 minute of this video.

Well, I have a testimony, and you're reading it now.

It's a child-like testimony of what God can do to your life, if only you'd allow Him.

And I ask, why must we even "allow" God?

God must HAVE our whole life!

He IS our CREATOR.

He's got every right!

Without God, we won't even exist.

Even a child can understand the importance of that.

But adults think they are wiser, more in tune to the world, and all that.

Well, the world is out of tune.

I'm only attuned to the SPIRIT of God.

I only listen to the music of God in my soul.

Only JESUS will lead you back to God.

And thus, you must follow Him.

There are no two ways about it.

Follow Jesus, and you will be taught the ways of the LORD.

It may not be easy for others, but because I've searched for God's Truth ALL my life, and when I was led to JESUS -- "the way, the truth, and the life" -- I dropped EVERYTHING that was not of Christ.

Even as I was in so much error, following Jesus was easy for me.

The Holy SPIRIT of God knew how to lead me back to Jesus -- INSTANTLY!

All that caused my soul harm, all that displeased the Lord, I had to let go of.

In my search for God's TRUTH, I read so many books, except they were esoteric stuff, supposedly "hidden" truth.

Not so.

The ONLY reference should have been the BIBLE -- the Word of God.

Thing is, there were so many versions.

Anyway, the SPIRIT of God led me to one that is attuned to my soul -- the King James Version, or KJV.

It's "old English", but I don't mind.

I seem to comprehend it.

A child-like soul comprehends the "old English" version of the Bible?

Weird, but it works.

Only through the SPIRIT of God do I comprehend that supposedly difficult and archaic version.

I'm no expert, but God leads me each day.

I can't wait for Him to unfold new treasures each day.

Such as verses I can explore, through my writings.

The WORD of God is truly MAGNIFICENT!

You will never fear the world again.

Maybe, the world will fear you -- all because you have JESUS in your heart!

Such is your delight when you find JESUS.

You become confident in Him.

You have the WORD of God in you.

JESUS is the Word of God.

The Word of God is the BIBLE.

So, wouldn't that make JESUS the BIBLE?

Aha!

See what I mean?

You never know what you'll discover, if your heart is attuned to God, eager to know His TRUTH alone.

Each day becomes magnificent!

Open your heart to the Lord now!

You will experience joy, strength, love, and confidence the world can never give you.

Find your peace in God.

"Focus on JESUS Alone"

Focus on JESUS Alone

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves 

to be dead indeed unto sin, 

but alive unto God 

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:11 

King James Version

Why is it important to focus on Jesus alone?

Because the world can easily sway us, and we can lose our soul.

Because the world belongs to the fallen one, seeking to destroy our soul, and to mock God, with that soul he has destroyed.

Because our salvation lies in Jesus alone.

If we are to be truly alive in CHRIST, we must be dead to sin.

Only through Jesus, can we have the strength to defy the fallen one.

Today, more than ever, we must focus on JESUS alone. 

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, 

and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, 

who is our life, 

shall appear, 

then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4 

King James Version

The fallen one makes sure the world has many distractions.

It is so subtle, with layers upon layers of distraction -- and destruction.

Unless your heart is with Christ, and you read SCRIPTURE, you will not know what layers those are.

FOCUS on Jesus alone and He will show you the way back to GOD.

Seek to have a fellowship with the LORD Jesus.

Make time early each morning, to listen to Jesus. 

Keep your soul quiet, and let the LORD speak to you. 

At the end of the day, pray to thank, and to have Jesus speak to your soul once more, sealing your soul with Him.

When you do all that, the Holy SPIRIT of God will teach you EVERYTHING about Jesus.

Only through a sincere heart can we invite the LORD and the SPIRIT, giving GOD great joy at our attention and desire to know Him.

The presence of JESUS will give you the strength to fight the battles you may face each day.

Time with Jesus gives you courage, taking away your fears, or wrong notions.

Time with Jesus will pull you away from sin, focusing on repairing that relationship with Him.

You know you have become JESUS' own when you lose all sense of self, ambition, earthly desires and passions.

Only a love for God remains.

Listen to this soothing Charles Stanley video which will help you meditate upon the LORD Jesus. As Dr. Stanley says:

"It is hard to be quiet, in a world so loud."

Only with a quiet, humble, teachable, joyful, and eager heart can you begin to know the Lord.

Please start now, before it's too late.

Let JESUS be your ANCHOR.

A New Life With JESUS

23 Being born again, 

not of corruptible seed, 

but of incorruptible, 

by the word of God, 

which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Peter 1:23 

King James Version

We were all born into ignorance.

We all think the world is the best there is.

How wrong we all were.

The BEST thing that ever happened to me is JESUS.

A year ago, today, I became a year older, but became blessed by the presence of the Lord Jesus.

Never again was I going to be ignorant.

All the education, wealth, and prestige in the world don't have Jesus in it.

If it did, the world would be kind.

We can all try to be kind, but unless the Holy SPIRIT of God explains things to us, we have incomplete knowledge of the things above.

Unless our hearts are open to Jesus, we cannot be given the Holy Spirit by God.

Our true birth comes from Jesus alone.

Unless we have been born of water and spirit, we are not born into Christ.

We'd be like any other human, who doesn't know Jesus.

But if we choose to know Jesus, wanting to be saved from our corruptible hearts, we become His own.

Why is it important to know Jesus?

Why do you need oxygen?

Knowing Jesus is like breathing.

Without Jesus, without His Words feeding us, keeping us safe from the devil's snare, we'd die, not having known the might, love, and glory of God, the FATHER.

Only through Jesus can we live a life worthy of God, the Creator.

The world will make sure you'd be lost, distracted, ignorant, unloved, but the Lord JESUS gives you the exact opposite of all that.

You'd be found, focused, knowledgeable, and loved.

So, I offer this new year added to my life, to the TRIUNE God.

-- To the FATHER, for creating me.

-- To the SON, for loving me.

-- To the HOLY SPIRIT, for teaching me.

The idea of life, is to be taught, by the most trusted TEACHER of All, the Holy SPIRIT of God.

Then, you will know who God is, who Jesus is, who the Holy Spirit is, who you are, what you are, what your mission is, why we are all the way we are, and what the future holds, no matter what the world may make us believe.

You will also learn to love, and to do all things with LOVE, because Jesus taught you.

Only through the Holy SPIRIT of God can we know all these things, as it is His TASK to teach us.

The only question is, "Is your heart open?"

It's been a year for me, studying Jesus' words, knowing more about Scripture, trying to understand Bible Prophecy, and listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

I have a long way to go.

But, at least, I took that first step.

I look forward to forever with Jesus.

I cannot live without Jesus, anymore.

If you are curious to know how it feels, all you have to do is look into your heart, and see if what the world has offered you gives you lasting joy, serenity, comfort, and "security".

Has it made you a better person?

Who's to judge if you've become a better person?

If there's an emptiness, or lots of questions in your heart, then you are ready to know JESUS.

Speak to Him, just as you are.

He knows your heart, anyway. 

Make room for JESUS.

In my case, He IS the WHOLE mansion.

I had been trained in Architecture, but no way can I build such a house.

Only GOD could.


P.S. I really must be doing something right, for God seems to like this new post again -- echoing my very own thoughts, especially the last four sentences I'd written. Look what Bible Gateway's "Verse of the Day" reveals today -- amazing!

Jesus answered and said unto him, 

If a man love me, 

he will keep my words: 

and my Father will love him, 

and we will come unto him, 

and make our abode with him.

John 14:23 KJV

On Being a NEW Person in CHRIST

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17 

King James Version

A year ago today, the SPIRIT of the LORD touched my soul, and I was never the same again.

I had become a new person, in JESUS.

Things of God were the only things that mattered.

And how exquisite the timing was!

For the world was to turn darker than it already had.

God took mercy upon my tenacious soul, which kept asking Him to please reveal His TRUTH to me.

It had been my fervent prayer, and last year, God felt it was time for the Holy Spirit to start instructing me.

He knew this imperfect being relentlessly searched for Him, thus, the creation of this blog in 2018, and many other blogs after that.

I was searching for the CORE of my being, and in the process, was led back to GOD, through JESUS, and the Holy SPIRIT, who was the TEACHER of ALL Things.

The Holy SPIRIT led me to BIBLE verses I needed to know, from which I took down notes, my soul leading me particularly to the WORDS of Jesus in the Four Gospels, to the beginning of CREATION in Genesis, and the END times in the Book of Revelation.

I don't know how your path and education will be, if you give your heart to Jesus, but this was how God wanted mine.

Night and day, the articles called to me, with specific titles forming in my heart.

I aimed to be perfectly-attuned to CHRIST, and the lessons were intense, as if making up for lost time.

Every time I felt like writing something, I'd merely pray to Jesus to tell me what He wanted written.

Most of the time, the articles were just THERE.

And I merely let the Holy SPIRIT of God lead me to the PERFECT verse.

God knew I liked precision.

But who could be more precise than GOD?

I was a mere scribe, a dutiful daughter, a repentant soul, a child learning the ways of God, a person wanting to be with GOD forever.

But to know God, one must follow Jesus.

And to follow Jesus, one must be instructed by the Holy Spirit alone.

It was the best education, no school could ever give.

We all need this SPIRITUAL education, straight from the Holy SPIRIT of God.

All other education comes from the world, and the world is not of God.

Fortunately, God took pity upon my persistent and penitent soul, and thought it was time to teach me.

And now?

Here I am before you, a year into my instruction from the Holy SPIRIT, and through the GRACE and GUIDANCE of the LORD.

I also thank Dr. David R. Reagan for those eye-opening, prophetic videos which INSTANTLY led me to become a born-again Christian, and to Joseph, my Bible teacher, who patiently helped for many years, gently guiding me through the verses.

I am a baby that could easily be plucked from God's Hands, but of course, God won't allow that.

One prayer to JESUS is all it takes to be brought back into God's arms, I assure you of that.

How the fallen one wishes to mock God, plucking a soul being saved, from His loving arms.

Listen to what JESUS says here:

29 My Father, 

which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them 

out of my Father's hand.

John 10:29 

King James Version

Can you feel the IMMENSITY of that statement?

But the fallen one will keep trying, forever waiting in ambush, that my soul, and your soul, be forever destroyed.

Of course, I don't wish that, so I stay closest to JESUS, more than ever.

The LORD has shown Himself several times in my dreams many years ago, in many various ways, as if in invitation, and holding out a promise in that LIGHT-filled doorway, of which He was my "landlord".

I don't belong to this land.

I belong to JESUS alone.

This first year as a born-again Christian will lead to many more years, until I am worthy of the Lord.

All I've learned the past year, I've shared with you in my blogs, making sure I don't mislead you.

By the GRACE of God, I won't.

I have no other focus but GOD.

He is the CORE of my being.

As He is yours.

It's time for you to seek Him with all your heart, and have nothing to do with the soul-destroying ways of the world.

God was your beginning, for He created you.

God must be your ending, for He waits for you.

Cast your cares upon JESUS.

You belong to Jesus.

22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, 

and he shall sustain thee: 

he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22 

King James Version

And thus, I look forward to more of JESUS in my heart.

Jesus is the ONLY way back to God.

Following the BEAT of God's DRUM

Very strange.

First, the Holy SPIRIT of God leads me to this article's title, which beats strongly in my heart.

Then, not knowing what would come next, but trying to search for an appropriate verse, as I normally do, to accompany an image to the article, none was "offered".

I close my eyes, momentarily.

Four words surface:

Faith.
Love.
Joy.
Obedience.

In that order.

Huh?

Where'd that come from?

As if my mind had a mind of its own.

Oh, but of course, I belong to God now.

God does the thinking.

He plants the seeds in my mind.

Then I search for the PERFECT verse.

But today, nothing was forthcoming -- no verse -- except those four words.

Faith. Love. Joy. Obedience.

Normally, if I'm not fast enough -- for SPIRIT is FAST -- and I don't write the "prompts" down, I lose the thread.

But this time, the thread was a thick ROPE!

It held on strong in my mind, so I wouldn't forget.

SPIRIT made sure.

So, those four words are the BEAT of God's DRUM -- the things He likes.

He wanted me to know that.

Faith. Love. Joy. Obedience.

Not difficult to understand, right?

FAITH, is trusting God with all your heart.

LOVE, is giving your whole heart to the Creator.

JOY, is being happy serving the Lord.

OBEDIENCE, is simply following the Commandments.

Even a child could remember all that.

Well, God knows my heart, and He knows I don't like complicated.

He knows I wish to share EVERYTHING of Him, with you, in a way ALL can understand.

The BEAT of God's DRUM, is the way to His heart.

Faith. Love. Joy. Obedience.

Jesus showed us how.

It's time we be worthy of our Creator.

He's waited long enough.

The Door of the Sheep

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

I am the door of the sheep.

John 10:7 

King James Version 

What did Jesus mean He was the "door of the sheep"?

In the previous article, one of the purposes of creating man was to be sheep of God's pasture.

That's an ancient verse from the psalms.

3 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.

Psalm 100:3 

King James Version 

Jesus is the "door" of the sheep.

9 I am the door: 

by me if any man enter in, 

he shall be saved, 

and shall go in and out, 

and find pasture.

John 10:9 

King James Version

No wonder, I dreamt of Jesus -- twice -- framed with GOLDEN Light, by the doorway.

And that Jesus was the "destination". 

I don't mind being called "sheep" for Jesus.

I follow Jesus alone.

I do so, with all my heart.

Sheep are followers.

They need someone to "herd" them.

The shepherd keeps them from the wolves.

And Jesus is the GOOD Shepherd.

11 I am the good shepherd: 

the good shepherd giveth his life 

for the sheep.

John 10:11 

King James Version

Jesus also knows His sheep, and vice-versa.

He knows who belongs to Him, and who doesn't.

He is the LORD Jesus, after all -- the Redeemer.

14 I am the good shepherd, 

and know my sheep, 

and am known of mine.

John 10:14 

King James Version

The sheep know their shepherd's voice.

They live for that shepherd's voice, and herding, without which, they'd be lost.

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, 

and they follow me:

John 10:27 

King James Version

Why do I follow Jesus?

Because I love Him, and I trust Him completely.

My whole future hinges on this love, and belief.

But look at this parable how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, loves us -- every single one of us.

This was His answer to the Pharisees and scribes, who were critical of His teaching the sinners, and eating with them:

4 What man of you, 

having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, 

doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, 

rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

Luke 15:4-7 

King James Version

Jesus also delivers a promise: 

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 10:28 

King James Version

And also a warning to the wolves:

29 My Father, 

which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

John 10:29 

King James Version

Jesus can make such powerful statements, for He is known and loved by the FATHER.

15 As the Father knoweth me, 

even so know I the Father: 

and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 10:15 

King James Version

Moreover, and more importantly, is the UNITY and ONENESS between the Father and Son.

30 I and my Father are one.

John 10:30 

King James Version

If that doesn't make you feel awe, delight, and fear, then I don't know what will.

Surely, you can feel its ancient POWER.

Rather, its ETERNAL Power.

But, who are the wolves?

Ah, that's easy.

All who are not OF CHRIST.

Why Did God Create Man?

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10 

King James Version

Ever wondered why God created man?

Or why He created you?

Well, the thought occurred in me this morning:

"Why did God create man?"

Knowing God, He planted that thought in my mind.

Perhaps, He felt I was ready for the "deep things of God".

And knowing myself, I immediately went a-searchin'.

And in the searchin', was the findin', and the GREAT joy and jubilation at finding a GOLD mine of TRUTH about GOD!

Aha!

This is the objective of this blog, after all.

To search for God's TRUTH alone.

Thanks to the Holy SPIRIT of God, I found these verses, and the purpose to our existence.

Wow!

Deep indeed!

So, here goes...

God created us for these reasons:

1. For His Glory.

Isaiah 43:7 (KJV)

7 Even every one that is called by my name: 

for I have created him for my glory, 

I have formed him; 

yea, I have made him.

2. To Praise Him.

Isaiah 43:21 (KJV)

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.

3. To Walk in Good Works, Guided By Jesus.

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

10 For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, 

which God hath before ordained 

that we should walk in them.

4. Created By Him, For Him.

Colossians 1:16 (KJV)

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, 

or dominions, 

or principalities, 

or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:

5. To Pray to Him.

Jeremiah 29:11-12 (KJV)

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace,

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

12 Then shall ye call upon me, 

and ye shall go and pray unto me, 

and I will hearken unto you.

6. To be His People.

But when he saith all things are put under him, 

it is manifest that he is excepted, 

which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, 

then shall the Son also himself be subject 

unto him that put all things under him, 

that God may be all in all.

8. To Be Sheep of His Pasture.

Psalm 100:3 (KJV)

3 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.

9. To Seek Him.

if haply they might feel after him, 

and find him, 

though he be not far from every one of us:

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

How to LOVE Jesus

15 If ye love me, 

keep my commandments.

John 14:15 

King James Version

Have you come to know the LORD?

If you haven't yet, I hope there is a desire in your heart to know Jesus.

Why, you'd probably ask?

Because the SAVIOR is our "blessed hope".

But what if you don't know Him?

Then get to know Him!

We can start here.

If you long for something real, then your spiritual hunger will be fed by knowing Jesus. 

I'm here, among many others, sharing these with you now.

Why do we do this, in Jesus' behalf?

Because we love Him, and wish to share what we know about Him, through SCRIPTURE.

Because we care what happens to you, and the people you care for, too.

Only through the guidance of the Holy SPIRIT are we able to do this for you -- for it is the Spirit who teaches us ALL things about Jesus.

As a believer in Jesus, I can share with you, right this moment, the way to LOVE Jesus, through the following verses the Holy SPIRIT of God led me to, today.

Let the Lord JESUS tell you Himself how He wishes to be loved!

21 He that hath my commandments, 

and keepeth them, 

he it is that loveth me: 

and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, 

and I will love him, 

and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:21 

King James Version 

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

If a man love me, 

he will keep my words: 

and my Father will love him, 

and we will come unto him, 

and make our abode with him.

John 14:23 

King James Version 

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: 

and the word which ye hear is not mine, 

but the Father's which sent me.

John 14:24 

King James Version 

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, 

I go away, and come again unto you. 

If ye loved me, 

ye would rejoice, 

because I said, 

I go unto the Father: 

for my Father is greater than I.

John 14:28 

King James Version

The Lord JESUS is really very clear about things.

It is up to us to know Him, by the desire of our heart.

I longed to know God's TRUTH all my life.

Thus, I followed Jesus, happily and eagerly, like a child, grateful for the Holy SPIRIT teaching me that sacred knowledge.

And, as Jesus said, God sends the Holy Spirit to teach us.

I am being instructed each day, to my great delight!

My spiritual life has definitely changed for the better.

My writing blossomed, under God's love, and care.

God will let my writings reach whoever He needs to reach.

I merely write, from my love for the LORD.

If you can love other people, a pet, a favorite jacket, your favorite food, how can you not LOVE the Son of God -- the Redeemer -- who will return for His faithful, and to make war on those who have oppressed His people too long?

It doesn't make sense to refuse to LOVE the Lord.

The time to love JESUS is now, if you value your TRUE life with God.

Let us be grateful sons and daughters of God, and show we are worthy of His Life's sacrifice.

Can the world offer you a better choice?

Our peace lies in Jesus alone.
