Jesus will save to the uttermost...

Hebrews 7:25-26, wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. For such a high priest became us, who is Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens.

Jesus is all anyone will ever need. He said in John that He is the bread of life and no one that comes to Him will hunger. He says in Matthew 6 that if you seek Him and His kingdom first you will have food, clothing, or the necessities of life. In Romans we are told that nothing can separate us from the love of God, not man, not angels, not any created thing can separate us from God and His Love. Jesus told the woman at the well in John 3, that she could have asked and He would have gave her Living Water. Jesus is the all sufficient, all sustaining, all powerful, all knowing, ever present, God and Savior of mankind.

God rejoices over any sinner that repents. Jesus said that He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Jesus became a man and died on the cross in order to make a way of salvation to those that realize they are lost apart from God. Jesus said that unless you forgive then you cannot be forgiven. Jesus said unless you become like a little child then you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said unless you are born of the water and the Spirit you cannot enter into the kingdom. In Romans 8, the Holy Spirit reveals to us that Jesus intercedes for us and also that the Holy Spirit of promise intercedes for us with groaning that cannot be uttered. We have two members of All Knowing who are making intercession for us. In 2 Peter we read about Jesus providing everything you need for life and godliness. When you put Him first, we will have the physical needs met and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all past and present sins as we faithfully learn to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

Jesus is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and He has always been the faithful Lord that promises to never leave us or forsake us. At times in my life, I have turned my back on God and followed after the wisdom of this world, and principles that work rebellion. I have followed my imagination and voices of the world and called it Jesus. Look at Mary the mother of Jesus, she was righteous and chosen to raise the Lord, but God did not talk to her. Instead, an angel spoke to her. There are many deceiving spirits and seducing spirits out there trying to tell people their thoughts, ideas, doctrines, and teachings but the Word of God had been bound and sealed in earth and heaven and will never change. The only word we can trust is written in the New Testament. Let us continue to seek Jesus and to have a it is written vocabulary or a thus has the Lord said.

Father we pray your will be done and not ours, help us to trust you and your decisions for our life, by trusting that the Holy Spirit of promise is interceding as well as our Savior Jesus according to your scripture in Romans 8:26,34. You are all we need, please teach us to trust in You, may it be so in Jesus name.

In the sentence of life the Devil may be a comma, but DO NOT let him be the PERIOD!

1 Cor 10:13, “there has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that you are able to bear it”

1 Cor 10:20-21, “you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils, you cannot be a partaker of the Lord’s Table and the table of demons”

Eph 4:27, “neither give place to the devil”

2 Tim 2:25-26, “and the servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentile unto all men able to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if God perhaps would give them repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will”

James 4:7, “submit yourselves therefore unto God resist the devil and he will flee from you”

1 Pet 5:8, “be sober be vigilant because you adversary the devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour”

How many of us are fallen into a trial or temptation and are snared by the devil? We know that God does not tempt us and that we are drawn away by our own lust, however look at the promise in 1 Cor 10:13, there has no temptation taken you… notice the temptation has taken hold…; but God is faithful who will not let the “snare” be more than you can handle, but will make a way of escape. We often get ourselves into snares because of following our will but whatever snare you find yourself in, God is not allowing that snare to overpower you and will provide a way out. We are not to give place to the devil, but we have we have to trust In Jesus to not let our snare be more than we can handle and to provide a way of escape. Notice in 2 Tim 2:26, we have to recover ourselves from the snare of satan. God makes it bearable and will provide a way out but we have to be the one that works out our own salvation. Jesus will do the heavy lifting and will help us but we have to walk in the narrow way and find the way of escape. As we begin to renew our mind and submit back to Christ and His will the devil will flee. After recovering ourselves from the snare of satan then we have to keep watch and walk in the spirit because the devil is looking for an opportunity to eat us for lunch.

May the Lord Jesus ease our burdens of sin, and make clear the way of escape, and remove every form of hindrance to recovering ourselves from the snare of satan and deliver us from evil ones and temptations and help us to submit to His will and resist the devil by doing so, may it be so in Christ name.

Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

Eph 6:8, “knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free”

Luke 14:13-14, “but when you make a feast call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and you will be blessed for they cannot repay you for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just”

Acts 20:35, “I have showed you all things how so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember to words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, “it is more blessed to give than to receive””

Proverbs 19:22, “the desire of a man is his kindness and a poor man is better than a liar”

Joel 2:12-13, “therefore also now says the Lord, turn you even to me with all of your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning and rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and repents of the evil”

Psalms 117:2, “for His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures forever, Praise you the Lord.”

We must be kind one to another, after all our Father and our Lord Jesus are kind to the just and the unjust. Kindness is one of the things we are told to put on (Col 3:12). Kindness usually does not cost us a thing. There is a scripture that tells us if we do good to others then we will receive the same from the Lord that we have done to others. What a promise! You cannot out give God. When you sow a kind word, or an action then it comes back to you. There is another promise, when you have a feast call those that will not be able to repay you and Jesus said you will have a reward in Heaven! What a promise. Let us be like our Father in Heaven and show mercy and kindness as opportunity allows.

We pray Father for your rich kindness and thank you for your promise that you will return the good we do to others on our heads, we ask that we will forgive all those that have sinned against us because you forgave us and that we will show kindness because of your kindness through our Lord Jesus Christ, may it be so in Christ name.
