Spending time with Jesus!

Acts 4:13-25 (New Living Translation)

13. The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. 14. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there among them, there was nothing the council could say. 15. So they ordered Peter and John out of the council chamber and conferred among themselves.

Ordinary men but they had been spending time with Jesus! Changed? you better believe it, completely. They had not taken time out to go to school, they had just been spending time with the Great Teacher! How amazing at the transformation that happens when we spend time reading His Word! Changed from the inside out, that is how people can know that we have been with Him!
The healing of this man was undeniable, he was standing in front of them. This should be out greatest desire to be changed more and more into the image of our Savior and Lord! It should also be a desire to see people accept Him as their Savior, to see people healed and delivered. As we begin another day, just spend some time reading His Word and talking to Jesus, I promise you people will know who you have been spending time with. Blessings to you!

In Christ!

Ephesians 1:11-14 (The Message)

11-12. It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.
13-14. It's in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what's coming, a reminder that we'll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.

If you have wondered who you are and why you are here taking up space, then here is your answer! Can you imagine that a long time before we knew about Him, He already had plans for us! Plans that once we believe and accepted His Son, we would be saved. But this was only the beginning! There is so much more! I am afraid we live way beneath our inheritance. Then we wonder why we don't live a victorious life! He sent His Word and the Holy Spirit to be our teacher. We really don't have any excuses, do we? I pray that we would claim what is rightly ours, after all the highest price ever paid was for us. Have a Blessed Lords day. (Be sure and check out Spiritual Sunday, the ladies always have praise reports and blessing to share).

We Will Be Delivered!

Daniel 12:1 (New International Version)


The End Times
1. "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.


My Daniel Bible Study is so good, I knew some about the last day events, but evidently not enough. Beth Moore is tremendous and truly led by God to do what she is doing. Even the other ladies in our group who are a tad older than I am are learning new things. I believe this is the message of the hour, the Lord is coming very soon! God always sent some one, a prophet, to tell His people that judgement was coming if they didn't repent! It is the same message now! But folks need to be told, I believe pastors are responsible for telling their congregations. And of course each of us needs to know what is going on so we can tell others. I pray for a hunger to know the truth of His Word, remember the truth sets us free. We do not have to be afraid, God will protect us and be with us no matter what!
