(Acts 2:36)…..”Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Many people tell other people that they “need to make Jesus Lord.” While I understand what they’re trying to say, it’s too late! Jesus is ALREADY Lord! God made Jesus the Lord almost 2000 years ago. (Acts 10:36…..”The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ – He is Lord of all – What we must do is recognize and agree …

Yes, God even knows how many hairs you have on your head. (Luke 12:7)…..But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Jesus gave us some insight on how much God is interested in us as humans. God provides for sparrows, and you are MUCH more valuable to God than any sparrow. Valuable enough to monitor every detail about you – even your current hair count. However God obtains your current hair count. He does know it. “Why …

(Revelation 22:6-10)…..Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. ⁷ “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” ⁸ Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. ⁹ Then he said to me, …

(Revelation 19:1-10)…..After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! ² For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” ³ Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” ⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” ⁵ Then a voice …

Certainly thankfulness should be in the life of every Christian because He has given us great blessings in Christ. Just think of what the the Lord has done on your behalf. Can you, with confidence declare from your lips what blessings He has bestowed on you. A thankful attitude and a grateful heart should be overflowing in us at all times, just listen to how these verses in the Psalms speak to giving thanks to the LORD (Psalm 50:23) (Psalm 52:9) (Psalm 54:6) (Psalm 107:21-22) (Psalm 147:1) (Ephesians 5:20) (1 …

(1 Peter 1:18-19)…..knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Some Christians shy away from talking about blood of Jesus Christ because it might bring about some sort of persecution in their life. But there is something that is never ashamed of the blood of Christ, and which will always speak of it without shame. It’s the Bible! In fact, the Bible presents blood as an integral and …

(Psalm 76:1-3)…..In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel. ² In Salem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion. ³ There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and sword of battle. Selah

Asaph begins this Psalm be declaring that “In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.” Now that is quite a declaration to begin a Psalm with. How many in that day would have said, “I know God.” Did they personally? Do we? Do you know God? …

(Matthew 9:23-26)…..When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, ²⁴ He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. ²⁵ But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶ And the report of this went out into all that land. 

Jesus used the expression “the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” Why? When in fact her body had died? Even the people were aware of this …

(Galatians 4:8-14)…..⁸ But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. ⁹ But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? ¹⁰ You observe days and months and seasons and years. ¹¹ I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain. ¹² Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at …

(Psalm 56:1-4)….Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me. ² My enemies would hound me all day, for there are many who fight against me, O Most High. ³ Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. ⁴ In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
