The Joy of The LORD

PRAISE THE LOVE OF Our Lives, THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST!

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. - NEHEMIAH 8:10

JESUS GREETINGS Friends,

When JESUS CHRIST, our LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28} Chose to SUFFER AND DIE On a Roman CROSS, RESURRECTING FROM THE DEAD For our sakes {SAINT JOHN 19:30, SAINT JOHN 20}, we, as believers in HIM, HIS BLOOD, AND in HIS POWERFUL, YET LOVING NAME, have Received all the benefits that King David Spoke upon in PSALM 103. The Psalmist declares that we will "...Bless the LORD...and forget not all His benefits {PSALM 103:1-3}." One of these benefits is ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD FORGIVING all our sins or iniquities {PSALM 103:3}. Another benefit is ALMIGHY JEHOVAH GOD's Healing of all our diseases {PSALM 103:3}. Sure, these promises bring hope and comfort as do all the HOLY SCRIPTURES to all of us who have receive3d the free Gift of Salvation by Grace and through the Faith of and in THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST {EPHESIANS 2:8-9}.

With this in mind, we need to ascertain that when times are good, and we are abiding consistently in a place of faith and holy-rest in our LORD AND GOD JESUS CHRIST, we would do good to remember these "good days", knowing that ALMIGHTY GOD Has Delighted in us {PSALM 147:11} HIS PURCHASED BYTHE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST {ACTS 20:28} Children. In contrast, however, when things aren't going well in our lives, it would do us a great deal of assurance as we remember to find our "Joy" in JESUS and not in our circumstances. My mind brings me to the remembrance of how far my LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST Has ALREADY BROUGHT me. HE'S BROUGHT me through three major spinal cord surgeries, two minor ones, being placed in a mental facility from the age of 10 at least 24 or25 times, sicknesses, disease, and all manor of adversarial complications, yet my faith is stronger now today than it's ever been. As a matter of truth, as I type this, I'm recovering from two minor surgeries to heal a flesh wound on my body. HALLELUJAH! GOD IS GOOD, MIGHTY, GREAT, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED! HALLELUJAH!

In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE we see Nehemiah and our brethren having completed the wall in Jerusalem in fifty-two days {NEHEMIAH 6:15}. This brief moment of construction was in itself a Miracle of ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST, AND JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, in that the building of a sturdy wall as the one built in Jerusalem is normally, I'm sure, more than a fifty-two day project. However, the HOLY BIBLE exclaims that "the people had a mind to work {NEHEMIAH 4:6}". This mind to work showed forth a unified spirit amongst our brethren, and it is exactly this same unity that caused the people to hear the Book of The Law of ALMIGHTY GOD, and weep when they realized they had not been keeping it {NEHEMIAH 8:9}. If only we would have a heart like this concerning ALMIGHTY JESUS'S HOLY WORD! This mourning was seen of ALMIGHTY GOD, and HIS HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED Nehemiah to encourage the Children of Israel with these comforting words:

This Popular HOLY BIBLE VERSE Demonstrates HOLY GOD'S HEART FOR us HIS People, in that it tells us not to mourn but instead to rejoice. The only way any of us can truly rejoice is By The GRACE of ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST, our LORD AND GOD! When we are downtrodden, our remembering where JESUS Has Brought us from, Helps to Equip us with the necessary memorial articles within our minds and hearts whereby we might attend to the truth of HIS GREAT DELIGHT In HIS Giving unto us the desires of our hearts {PSALM 37:4}.

When we have joy, we have hope. When we have hope we have faith. We cannot please ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD without faith {HEBREWS 1:6}. However, with faith in the FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST JESUS {SAINT JOHN 19:30, SAINT JOHN 20}, we can do all things {PHILIPPIANS 4:13}. So, please remember that NOTHING is too hard for our GOD {GENESIS 18:14}. If GOD Said it in HIS WORD, HE'S GOING TO DO IT! Your Joy will be fulfilled; fulfilled only through ONE NAME and ONE WORD, JESUS! "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}."

The Privilege of Praise

PRAISE THE LOVE OF Our Lives, THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17 - Emphasis mine.

A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - PSALM 34:1 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version

JESUS GREETINGS Family,

   Today's discussion focuses on the attitude and purpose of our giving of thanksgiving and praise unto our PRECIOUS AND PERFECT HEAVENLY FATHER. One HOLY BIBLE VERSE even talks about God's praise being perfected {SAINT MATTHEW 21:16}. It is imperative that we understand that our giving ALMIGHTY JESUS Thanksgiving denotes that we harbor an attitude of gladness and gratefulness to the point where we understand that if it had not been for the LORD on our side, we would have utterly been swallowed up {PSALM 124:1-3} by the dictates and demands of this, our every day lives.

   One HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE STATES That we "reckon" that the sufferings or things we go through in this earth that are cumbersome to us are not worthy to be "compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us {ROMANS 8:18}." Knowing this, and understanding that our JESUS Has ALREADY Satisfied the complete PAYMENT For our sins when HE SUFFERED AND DIED ON THE CROSS, RESURRECTING THE THIRD DAY {SAINT JOHN 19, SAINT JOHN 20} For our Justification and ultimately our glorification {ROMANS 8:30}, more than Grants us an internal gratefulness and attitude of praise if nothing more than to consistently offer up the sacrifice of praise in our perpetual giving of thanks {HEBREWS 13:15}. Thanksgiving is one of the greatest outpouring of gratitude we can muster, simply because THE HOLY BIBLE ADMONISHES us to "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. For this is the will of God concerning you in Christ Jesus {1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18}."

   Knowing the Will of ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, in our giving of praise through thanksgiving, gives us a Holy incentive to always ready of hearts, minds, souls, emotions, and spirits in that of our keeping a praiseworthy disposition and posture. This is further expounded upon in our giving of thanks in every situation. I understand that there are many things in life that occur unto us where we do not readily feel like praising or giving thanks. Believe me, I have been there before. However, if we can at the least thank ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD For SENDING HIS BELOVED SON JESUS CHRIST TO DIE For our many sins, RESURRECTING THE THIRD DAY, we will do well.

   Let's face it. There's ALWAYS a reason for us to give thanksgiving and praise. It is a privilege. Some people are not privileged to have gone through what we have gone through and to still know and place our convictions, faith, and trust in THE LORD AND GOD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}. Therefore, we have a willful duty to remember the LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS GREAT SACRIFICE ALL THROUGH THE DAY. If you're in the office, play some GOSPEL Music at a low volume, when you sleep at night, put some GOSPEL Music on or Preaching at a low volume to Minister to you through the night. Even when you may not feel up to praising, please remember JESUS in all things. HE LOVES Us, and as my beloved sister says, "If you were the only person on the face of this earth, CHRIST JESUS would have still DIED for you." You are valued and treasured, my friend. How much more does our HEAVENLY FATHER Value, and Treasure The Praises of us, HIS dear children {EPHESIANS 5:1}. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}."

Tell Your Story

Praise THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story-- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, - PSALM 107:2 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version

JESUS GREETINGS CHRISTIAN Family,

When we come to the place in our lives where we have seen THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Perform Marvelous deeds within our lives, we have a Spiritual Mandate to share with others the Wonderful Works of THE LORD {ACTS 2:11}. Let's face it, there is nothing better for someone experiencing grief or a recent discouraging event than to hear the testimony of someone who has gone through a similar experience explain to them how our BLESSED LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST Brought them through it victoriously!

It is of essence that we be light and salt {SAINT MATTHEW 5:13, SAINT MATTHEW 5:14} to a lost and hurting world. We need to uphold the Banner of the CROSS AND RESURRECTION of our LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, JESUS CHRIST, in order that many shall see that our GOD IS LOVE {1 JOHN 4:8, 16}, and HE HAS LOVED us so much, that He Has even Given of HIMSELF, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST TO PAY THE PENALTY FOR our sinfulness, suffering on a Roman CROSS {SAINT JOHN 19:30}, howbeit, TRIUMPHANTLY RESURRECTING From the dead the Third Day {SAINT JOHN 20}. Let's face it brethren, JESUS, Our GOD, IS LOVE!

When we share our testimonies, we must not only do this faithfully, we must also do it prayerfully. What is meant by this former statement is that we need to know what is beneficial in our lives to share with others. Although we must be unashamed when proclaiming the LORD JESUS'S Gospel Message {ROMANS 1:16}, and our several testimonials, we must also be considerate of what we say with regards to how the revealing of some of our innermost experiences might affect our loved ones or children if some things were told to people who have no regard for us. With this in mind, let us NEVER be afraid to discuss why we believe in JESUS CHRIST, always ready to give an answer for the Truth of our faith that can only be found in CHRIST JESUS {1 PETER 3:15}.

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, - 1 PETER 3:15

The HOLY BIBLE STATES That "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God {ROMANS 10:17}. When we REMEMBER all that the GOOD LORD, JESUS, HAS ACCOMPLISHED For us, such as in keeping a daily journal or diary, our faith is strengthened and we become vessels of ALMIGHTY GOD, fit for the MASTER'S USE {2 TIMOTHY 2:21}, ready to show all creation that our GOD IS THE ONLY GOD, WHO LOVES us, and Gave HIS LIFE FOR us so that we might live with HIM forever more. This my friends is the GREATEST TRUTH, or STORY we must share, without doubt, to all, so that all those who hear might be saved {SAINT JOHN 3:16-17}. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"

HALLELUJAH! JESUS!

Praise JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS GREETINS Saints of THE MOST HIGH GOD,

No doubt, many have frequently heard today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE Scripture found in PSALM 150:6. This well-known HOLY BIBLE VERSE Delivers a Message of hope and victory for us in the midst of trials and adverse circumstances. The Psalmist is speaking about our praise to ALMIGHTY GOD, JESUS, AND HIS PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT. He is focused on our giving ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH The Glory Due Unto HIS HOLY NAME.

The Psalmist is encouraging us saying that everything that has breath is to praise The LORD. That means that even the animals praise the LORD GOD in their own unique way. We who are the Redeemed {PSALM 107:2} of THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, because of HIS GENTLE CROSS AND TRIUMPHANT RESURRECTION, possess no other discourse than to remember the privilege of praise. When we take the time out of our busy schedules to praise THE LORD JESUS CHRIST For ALL HIS GOODNESS, we show forth an attitude of thanksgiving which is ALWAYS pleasing to JEHOVAH GOD.

Remember, no matter what we go through in life, praise is our battle cry against the enemy letting him know, we will not give up or give in. We surrender all to THE BLESSED LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! HE in turn fights our battles {EXODUS 14:14} while we rest perpetually in the BOSOM of our SAVIOR, MASTER, TEACHER, EVERLASTING FATHER {ISAIAH 9:6}, AND LORD!

So when you are being challenged by the circumstances of our living in a fallen world, remember these words, "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD {PSALM 150:6}. One of the best ways to praise ALMIGHTY JESUS is to give HIM an abundance of love through an abundance of thanksgiving showing forth not only our great need for our SAVIOR, but our great want and desire to have HIM in our lives, giving HIM thanks in everything {1 THESSALONIANS 5:18}. Remember, JESUS LOVES You. Please bask in the Sunshine of HIS GREAT LOVE, PRAISE HIM perpetually, and give thanksgiving to Our BLESSED CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED KING. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}."

No longer Bound

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. - DANIEL 3:24-25

JESUS GREETINGS Family,

When the three Hebrew captives, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah {Shadrach, Meshech, and Abed-nego} were thrown into the midst of a fiery furnace, simply, because they refused to bow down to an idol set up by an unruly king. It appeared that they would meet their Maker in that they would not have survived or subdued the fiery furnace ordeal. However, these three loyal and courageous, possibly teen-age young men, literally did meet their Maker, The LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, for the HOLY SCRIPTURES State that King Nebuchadnezzar rose up when he thought the three young lads should have lost their lives, and was astonished when he so these three servants of the MOST HIGH GOD "no longer bound" walking in the midst of the fire with a fourth MAN, saying "and the fourth looks like the Son of God {Daniel 3:25}.

When I first titled this weblog sermonette, it was originally entitled 'In the Fire'. However, as I began to write this particular article, I believe Our CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, gave me another title "No Longer Bound". It is important to understand the significance that these three men were thrown into the fiery furnace bond, I believe hand and foot. The HOLY BIBLE DECRESS That they fell down in the midst of the fiery furnace. This shows to me that no matter how hot a certain situation seems to be, whether we are undergoing Spiritual, mental, physical, or emotional turmoil or persecution in our lives, there is always hope in our placing our faith in our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

{19} Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

{20} My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

{21}This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

{22} It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

{23} They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

{24} The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. - JEREMIAH 3:19-24

This hope is always seen, even in the lower parts of our souls. Sometimes, we feel as if all hope is gone, simply because we feel that we have messed up too much for CHRIST JESUS to still love us. However, this is a lie and trap of the devil and it couldn't be further from the Truth of the Gospel {GOOD NEWS} of JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS PROMISES to never leave or forsake us {HEBREWS 13:5}. When we have gone astray in some manner, whether backsliding or in the giving up of hope, THE HOLY BIBLE DECREES IN PSALM 119:176 -

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. - PSALM 119:176

THE HOLY BIBLE Also Encourages those who have lost hope with these words,

{19} My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, {20} let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. -JEREMIAH 5:19-20

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. JONAH 2:4

The key to getting up again is to cast our proverbial nets on the right side of the ship {SAINT JOHN 21:6}, or as Elijah the Tishbite instructed his servant, "to go again {1 KINGS 18:43}"

And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. - 1 KINGS 18:43

I can assure you, because, I know first hand that it is not easy. However, we serve a FAITHFUL GOD, JESUS CHRIST, Who WILL Help us as we continue to walk by faith and not by sight {2 CORINTHIANS 5:7}. Remember, HE will NEVER leave or forsake us {HEBREWS 13:5}. Simply, ask for forgiveness, seek HIM in reading HIS WORD DAILY, and Rest in the PROVISION OF THE HOLY LOVE, THE FATHER HAS GRANTED UNTO us, BY WAY OF THE PRECIOUS DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF HIS BELOVED SON, JESUS CHRIST. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}

Never Sorrow Again - Part II

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD-- the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. - JEREMIAH 31:12 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version - http://BIBLEHUB.com

JESUS GREETINGS Friends,

   In our last post, we discussed that JESUS does not want any to "sorrow anymore" with regards to not having the necessities for our living a CHRIST-GLORIFYING, GOD THE FATHER-CENTERED Life. Without having our daily Spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical needs met, we cannot have the proper balance that ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD DESIRES FOR us to possess {PROVERBS 11:1}.

   Let's face it, GOD IS LOVE {SAINT JOHN 3:16, 1 JOHN 4:8, 16 - AND THE ENTIRE HOLY BIBLE}. When we show forth the LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS in our hearts towards a lost and hurting world, we are more like CHRIST JESUS than I believe going to Worship Services weekly to fellowship amongst the fellow Saints of ALMIGHTY GOD. Now please don't misunderstand me. We are COMMANDED to not forsake the assembling of the brethren as the manner of some is {HEBREWS 10:25}.

   However, when we are fellowshipping With the SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER, and the Saints of GOD {1 JOHN 1:1-3}, ultimately it is to focus our attentions, once having left the four walls of our Church's Edifice, in going into ALL the world and preach the Gospel to every creature {SAINT MARK 16:15}. We found out in the last Blog post, Given to us by the Precious HOLY SPIRIT, that when we Give of our resources for the betterment of society, and ultimately for the Salvation of Souls through the ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER {SAINT JOHN 14:6}, Faith in the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST'S TRIUMPHANT DEATH, AND THIRD DAY RESURRECTION, we are pleasing to ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, and as We stated earlier showing forth the Love of CHRISt to a lost and hurting world. So where does that bring us to today?

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - ISAIAH 40:31

   As with yesterday's Foundational Scripture, we see the beloved Prophet Jeremiah hearing from GOD ALMIGHTY, making the people aware that a time will come when they will hunger no more. Of course The HOLY BIBLE also Speaks upon a time where there will be a famine of the WORD OF GOD {AMOS 8:11}. This famine would cause men, I believe to further hunger for the things of JESUS CHRIST garnering a hope that can ONLY come from a relationship with Our HEAVENLY FATHER ADONAI Through Faith in The SHED BLOOD and The DEATH and BURIAL Of Our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!

   This is an awesome Truth, for we indeed need to always hunger and thirst for JEHOVAH and HIS PRECIOUS SON JESUS CHRIST to speak to us. However, when sin has corrupted our lives, it becomes difficult to hear from the LORD JESUS CHRIST, until we confess it, and HE PROMISES TO BE FAITHFUL AND JUST TO CLEANSE US FROM all unrighteousness {1 JOHN 1:9}.

   With this in mind I also want to talk about the time that is coming when we are to "sorrow no more." Although the Prophet Jeremiah, I'm sure upon Writing This HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED Dictation was looking forward to the GREAT and Notable DAY, WHEN JEHOVAH GOD WOULD SEND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST, TO SUFFER THE WRATH OF GOD ON HIMSELF, In order that We who put our Faith in HIS PRECIOUS DEATH, AND RESURRECTION might be Saved {SAINT JOHN 3:16-17}, I believe we in this day can be rid of all sorrow as we delve into the depths of the ETERNAL LOVE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, Enabling us to see things from a HEAVENLY PERSPECTIVE as opposed to watching things happening in our everyday lives on this Mercy-Filled Earth {PSALM 33:5}.

   In simpler terms, when we come to know who we are in CHRIST JESUS, as born-again believers of The WORD OF GOD, JESUS, AND THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT {SAINT JOHN 3:1-7}, we will in turn look to THE FATHER in times in this trek of life that can have the potential of bringing forth sorrow, depression, or some form of misery into our lives. Now please don't get me wrong. I believe that this is not always the easy thing to do with regards to not experiencing sorrow when a tragedy occurs. We all are human beings. However, for the born-again believer in CHRIST JESUS, we have been given a "hope that maketh not ashamed {ROMANS 5:5}". This Person of HOPE, JESUS CHRIST, Guarantees that when we are in the "Fire" HE WILL BE THERE as evidenced in Daniel with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah {DANIEL 3:25}. Because we know that CHRIST is ALWAYS with us in any storm, speaking to us with HIS STILL SMALL VOICE {1 KINGS 19:12}, "Peace be still {SAINT MARK 4:39}", we have the ability to lessen any potential "sorrow" that the devil would try to throw our way. However, JESUS HAS DEFEATED -DESTROYED - all the works of the devil {1 JOHN 3:8}, when HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND RESURRECTED THE THIRD DAY {SAINT JOHN 19, SAINT JOHN 20}.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. - PHILIPPIANS 4:6

Therefore my friend, there is nothing to "sorrow" over or worry about {PHILIPPIANS 4:6}. We who have made JESUS our LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28} Have Eternal Life With ALMIGHTY GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT {SAINT JOHN 3:15}. For the non-believer, there is something very much to worry about, damnation in the eternal "lake of fire" "prepared for the devil and his angels {SAINT MATTHEW 25:31}." But as the WORD of GOD says, "we are persuaded better things of you {HEBREWS 6:9}." "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}

Never Sorrow Again

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

New International Version

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD-- the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. - JEREMIAH 31:12 - http://BIBLEHUB.com

JESUS GREETINGS,

   When we come to any longevity on our life's span, we, no doubt, will come across some form of mourning, sorrow, or suffering. For us, the believers in CHRIST JESUS'S PRECIOUS DEATH, and TRIUMPHANT RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN 19, SAINT JOHN 20}, THE HOLY BIBLE CONFESSES That we, who live godly IN CHRIST JESUS, shall suffer persecution {2 TIMOTHY 3:12}. It doesn't say that we might suffer persecution, but rather that we WILL suffer persecution. Now, there are some persecutions that come in the form of being talked about known as gossip. Some come in the form of not being liked. Others come in the form of not being asked to join the "in crowd (another term might be "sin crowd")". These are just some persecutions, although painful at times and saddening, are not to be compared to our persecuted Christians abroad in the world that may be facing physical persecutions {the Voice of the Martyr's http://VOM.org}.

   With these truths in mind, it becomes imperative that we focus on all those brothers and sisters in the "Household of Faith {GALATIANS 6:10}" in need. Yes, we are to help end the sorrows of all people in the globe, even non-Christians, in the hope that they will, after seeing our Love for them, want to know about JESUS and get saved unto Eternal Life {JOHN 3:15-21, ROMANS 5:21}. However, we hold an indebtedness to the Glory of God {SAINT JOHN 11:4,}in that we have been privileged in these United States of America to help others who are less fortunate.

Even in a debt of a trillion dollars or more, our "beloved" Country has many Blessings that have been granted unto by our ALMIGHTY GOD THE FATHER, our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST {TITUS 1:4, 1 JOHN 1:1-3}! Thus, it is our obligation, in fact, to help the poor and needy in the various Churches around the globe, as well as in our local assemblies, our cities of government, and in every nook and cranny of the earth where the needy need clothing, shelter, medical treatment, food, and other supplies. Therefore as THE LIFE GIVER {JESUS CHRIST} LIVES In Us, THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST {Also Called THE HOLY SPIRIT}, we, who have been Given "all things pertaining to life and godliness {2 PETER 1:3}", having ALL our needs met, we are to then ensure that others are not in sorrow or hunger as some translations of today's said foundational HOLY BIBLE VERSE SAY {JEREMIAH 31:12 - HOLY BIBLE - Holman Christian Standard Bible}, in order that our BLESSED AND PRECIOUS LORD AND GOD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28} BE GLORIFIED! Amen.

   Looking unto our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith {HEBREWS 12:2}, we are to, as Children of Faith, show forth our faith by the "good works" the HOLY SPIRIT Penned in the BOOK of JAMES {JAMES 2:17-18}, in giving forth ourselves, not solely our monetary advances (money) unto charitable causes. This includes prayer to ALMIGHTY GOD in order that we know BY THE HOLY GHOST ABIDING With and DWELLING In Us {SAINT JOHN 14:17}, where to give our energies. It may mean (THANK YOU HOLY GHOST) volunteering at a soup-kitchen, starting a not for profit business, it may mean sponsoring a child in poverty, it may mean starting or joining a prison Ministry, it may, simply mean, partnering with a Ministry that You faithfully watch or support.

   There is no limit to what we can accomplish with Our LORD AND GOD, JESUS THE CHRIST ON Our Side. We ourselves, will sorrow no more, in being "more blessed to give rather than receive {ACTS 20:35}". When we do things with a contrite heart for the Glory of ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, THE FATHER OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST {COLOSSIANS 1:3}, we not only place a smile on the COUNTENANCE (FACE) OF ALMIGHTY GOD, but we are also more happier in our Walks with CHRIST JESUS every day, and the lives of countless other nations and peoples will be Touched With the LOVE and GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, thus Garnering many souls unto Salvation, and saving a soul from death {from Eternal Damnation in a Lake of Fire - Prepared for the devil and his angels - SAINT MATTHEW 25:41}

{19} My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, {20} remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. - JAMES 5:19-20 - Italics mine

"Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen." {1 JOHN 5:21 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}

Past, Present, Future

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. - HEBREWS 10:10

   JESUS Greetings to you all who faithfully come to Our JESUS CHRIST TRUE VINE MINISTRIES Weekly blog. We're Godly Glad that you've joined us this beautiful day of the year. Please make yourselves at home as we delve into the Wonderfully totality of The HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE HOLY BIBLE, The WORD Of The LIVING GOD, JEHOVAH-JESUS-HOLY-SPIRIT-CHRIST! Amen!

   As we trek along the path of finding out who we are in our Blessed LORD, SAVIOR, and GOD, JESUS THE CHRIST, there exists many hiccups that envelop us on this road, or maybe to Give God ALL the GLORY, we should say "Speed Bumps", in order that we might stay "rooted and grounded" IN THE LOVE {EPHESISANS 3:17}" and WORD OF GOD, and The Beloved Things of Our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, in order that we'd stay the course {JOB 24:13 - HOLY BIBLE - International Standard Version}, even as difficult times attempt to harass our disposition in transit to our desired haven in this life and in the "World to come {HEBREWS 2:5}".

   With this in mind, it is imperative that we'd deliver ourselves totally; mind, body, soul, and spirit unto Our Precious LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, daily, as we embark on our daily journey's of "taking up" our Crosses and following Him, in order that HE would be Glorified in all things concerning us HIS; Anointed Saints and Children. Please be reminded, there is nothing too hard for Our ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD to Accomplish within the parameters of our lives. Therefore, it does us justice to seek HIM daily, and "early {SAINT JOHN 20:21}", in order that we might seek FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven an His Righteousness, and all things shall be added unto us {SAINT MATTHEW 6:33}. JESUS, Because YOU LOVE Us so much, YOU Desire the Best for us, and like my Beloved Dad, Reverend James Oliver McMorris Sr. says, we know by "Grace we are saved, through faith... {EPHESIANS 2:8-9}" in CHRIST JESUS, "The best is yet to be."

   In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE, we understand that, because CHRIST JESUS Has SUFFERRED {SAINT JOHN 20, HEBREWS 13:12}, and DIED For Us, we have ALL of our sins Forgiven whether "past, present, or the future {HEBREWS 10:10}". All we have to do is to BELIEVE, no matter what, that through CHRIST JESUS, we are made right with ALMIGHTY GOD {GALATIANS 2:16}. However, when we do sin, THE BLESSED HOLY BIBLE INSTRUCTS Us to faithfully, "Confess" our sins and ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS {1 JOHN 1:9}. Wherefore, because we are cleansed from our iniquities, we have unbroken fellowship with GOD THE FATHER, AND HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST {1 JOHN 1:3-4}.

   So, what is troubling you today my friend. Remember, there exists "nothing" to hard for God to do {GENESIS 18:14}. If you find yourself struggling in your faith walk today, or sense the enemy of our souls, the devil {JAMES 4:7, 1 PETER 5:8}, coming against you seemingly with all he has, remember you're not alone. All of us in the "Body of Christ {EPHESIANS 4:12}" go through the same things {1 PETER 5:9}.

   Remember to hold on to the Truth of the Gospel, no matter what {EPHESIANS 6:14}. This life is difficult, simply, because we live in a fallen world, have an adversary, and have our fleshly desires to contend with. But thanks be to ALMIGHTY GOD FOR THE BLESSED HOLY GHOST. Because of the HOLY GHOST {Also Called THE HOLY SPIRIT}, we have all the POWER necessary to overcome ANY adversarial assault. Remember, as JESUS'S WORD DECREES, we overcame the devil ALREADY BY "The Blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and we loved not our lives unto the death {REVELATION 12:11}." This doesn't mean that we are going to necessarily lose our physical lives, because of our faith in CHRIST JESUS, although that is a possibility, however in a more practical sense, I believe it means that we are to lose ourselves in THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST, noting that HIS WILL WOULD BE DONE, AND NOT Ours {SAINT LUKE 22:42, SAINT MATTHEW 6:10, SAINT MATTHEW 26:39, SAINT MARK 14:36}. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}."

Leave It In the Past

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17 - emphasis mine

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, {14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

JESUS LIVES. PERIOD!

   JESUS, Thank YOU FOR YOUR TRIUMPHANT CROSS AND VICTORIOUS RESURRECTION, ENABLING Us who believe in YOUR PRECIOUS SHED BLOOD, FOR THE REMOVAL AND FORGIVENESS of our sins, to become new creatures or creations, thus putting our sinful past's behind {2 CORINTHIANS 5:17}. HALLELUJAH! FATHER GOD, In JESUS'S HOLY NAME, this seems to, at times, be very difficult and more easier said than done. However, I know that YOU Would not have put PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 into the BIBLICAL WRIT if this was something that, THROUGH YOU {PHILIPPIANS 4:13}, we could not accomplish. But, thank YOU JESUS, that through YOU, we can do ALL things! HALLELUJAH!

     JESUS, There have been many trials and temptations thus far in my young life, and I know they will continue until the day I'm called up into Glory, however, I know that through YOU, JESUS, YOU'VE ALWAYS In the past, and in this present, and future have and will make an escape for me {1 CORINTHIANS 10:13}; and that escape is by the "measure of faith" YOU Have afforded us {ROMANS 12:3}.

   JESUS, I understand that that "Faith-filled" Escape looks differently for everyone of us who Trust, Rely and Believe (JEREMIAH 17:7 - HOLY BIBLE - AMPLIFIED VERSION) on YOUR HOLY NAME, however, I believe that our escaping temptation, is a direct result of YOUR FAITH, and at times the "Faith" YOU'VE GIVEN TO AND INSTILLED in us. JESUS, THROUGH The "Great Faith {SAINT MATTHEW 15:28}" YOU have so graciously GIVEN unto us, as well as the "Mustard Seed Faith {SAINT MARK 4:30-32}", we exhibit, we have more than enough strength to not only flee from our past sins, iniquities, mistakes, and transgressions, knowing that we ARE Forgiven and Saved {SAINT JOHN 3:16-17, ROMANS 10;9, 13}, but we also possess the necessary "grit" to, with our pasts now past, to accomplish all the GOD-GIVEN, JESUS CHRIST-GLORIFYING, goals, dreams, aspirations, and visions {HABAKKUK 2:2} ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD HAS SO PURPOSEFULLY PLACED WITHIN Our hearts, souls, minds, and spirits. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. AMEN {1 JOHN 5:21}."

All Things New

JESUS IS My LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version

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 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version

This I recall to my mind,
         Therefore I have hope.
{22} The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
         For His compassions never fail.
{23}They are new every morning;
         Great is Your faithfulness.
{24} “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
         “Therefore I have hope in Him.” - LAMENTATIONS 3:21-24 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. - REVELATION 21:5 - HOLYB BIBLE - King James Version

   JESUS, My LOVE, Thank YOU FOR YOUR GREAT MERCY IN DYING FOR us on CALVARY'S CROSS, RESURRECTING THE THIRD DAY, AND ASCENDING TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE {SAINT JOHN 6:62 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}. HALLELUJAH! JESUS, Because YOU MADE ALL THINGS NEW WHEN YOU RESURRECTED, We can face each day, leaving our past sins, iniquities, transgressions, and mistakes behind. HALLELUJAH!

   JESUS, YOU TAUGHT Us Through YOUR Blessed Prophet Jeremiah in YOUR BOOK OF THE LAMENTATIONS, CHAPTER 3 VERSES 22 AND 23, THAT YOUR ..." mercies are new every morning and your compassions fail not, great is Your faithfulness." JESUS, Because of These Truths, we now have ABUNDANCE MERCIES, That are Everlasting, for "Greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends {SAINT JOHN 15:3 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}.", JESUS, YOU SO GRACIOUSLY REMIND US that we are YOUR Friend if we do "whatsoever" YOU COMMAND Us {SAINT JOHN 15:14}. HALLELUJAH!

   JESUS, All things are indeed new with the dawn of each "new" day. JESUS, We refuse to let our past define us, as we press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus {PHILIPPIANS 3:13 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}. JESUS, With this in mind, there is NOTHING too hard for YOU {GENESIS 18:14}, and with this promise we see ourselves becoming all that YOU HAVE Called unto us to be {SAINT MATTHEW 22:14 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}, as we know, as my Beloved Dad; The Reverend James Oliver McMorris Sr., says, *The best is yet to be.". "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}." AMEN, and GOD BLESS.

VICTORY SUNDAY

JESUS, YOU ARE my VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb {12} and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

{13} They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” {14} At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

{15} He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

{16} Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

{17} Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

{18} Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. - SAINT JOHN 20:1-18 - HTTP://BIBLEHUB.COM

YES, WE HAVE WON THE VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS! HALLELUJAH.

JESUS, When YOU SO LOVINGLY GAVE YOUR LIFE ON CALVARY'S HOLY CROSS, YOU USHERED IN A NEW DISPENSATION OF JOY UNSPEAKABLE, CALLING THE OLD COVENANT "ready to vanish away {HEBREWS 8:13}", WHILE CUTTING A NEW COVENANT, OR TESTAMENT BY WAY OF YOUR PERFECT SHED BLOOD ON THE CROSS {HEBREWS 12:24}. JESUS, FOR THIS WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL AND EXCITABLY THANKFUL.

JESUS, However, YOUR TRIUMPHANT DEATH, THAT AWESOME GOOD FRIDAY, DECLARING "It is finished {SAINT JOHN 19:30}", SHOWED FORTH THAT ALL of our sins; past, present, and future, have ALREADY been FORGIVEN. All we have to do is RECEIVE {SAINT JOHN 1:12} YOUR GREATEST WORK OF LOVE AND KINDNESS SHOWN BY WAY OF YOUR CROSS {COLOSSIANS 1:20}, and RELY on YOUR THIRD DAY RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN 20} AS HAVING JUSTIFIED us {ROMANS 3:28, GALATIANS 3:24}, making us right in THE SIGHT OF Our HEAVENLY FATHER, JEHOVAH GOD {PROVERBS 3:4, 1 TIMOTHY 2:3}. HALLELUJAH!

JESUS, with these things in mind, we come to the subject of this Blog which I pray continues to Glorify YOU AND YOUR MOST HOLY NAME. JESUS, this weBlog is purposely, by YOUR PROVIDENCE AND ANOINTING Called "VICTORY SUNDAY" simply because what appeared to be a great defeat on "GOOD FRIDAY", ended up to be the GREATEST VICTORY EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND WHEN YOU RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD THAT AWESOME THIRD DAY; THE FIRST RESURRECTION SUNDAY.

JESUS, Although YOU TEACH IN YOUR HOLY WORD, THE HOLY BIBLE, From The First Book of Moses Called GENESIS, to the last book of the HOLY BIBLE Called THE REVELATION OF Saint John The Divine, that every WORD or JOT AND TITTLE {SAINT MATTHEW 5:14} of THE HOLY BIBLE CENTERS ON YOU, ALMONE, no one understood at the time of YOUR CRUCIFIXION THAT YOU "must rise the third day" from the dead {SAINT JOHN 9:29}until after the RESURRECTION. JESUS, Thus, YOUR VICTORY AND TRIUMPH OVER sin, death, hell, the devil, and the grave, has become our VICTORY, as well, and CHRIST JESUS Our BELOVED "Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world {REVELATION 13:8}" we are ETERNALLY Indebted to and Grateful for YOU! HALLELUJAH, AMEN! "Little children, keep yourselves from idols {1 JOHN 5:21}."
