For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/eph.2.10.KJV
Don’t turn away from Him or His calling on your life.

The Lord loves you!
Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:13 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.103.13/56571
End Time events
Read Daniel 9 and 12, Matthew 24, and Revelation 12-16. We are at the very beginning of when things start getting bad and it gets worse from this point on. I’m not going to tell you it’s going to get better because it’s not. God’s prophecy always comes true so if you don’t want to believe what His Word says that’s your decision.
One day or maybe in the middle of the night, the church is going to be taken to be with the Lord. If you aren’t sure if you will be in that number of people missing, I would be seeking salvation now. After the church is gone, the conditions here will get much worse than what you see today. I pray that all of you who follow my site will be part of the ones that God calls home. Make sure of your salvation while you can, please!?
Follow the Lord’s counsel
There are many devices in a man’s heart; Nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. Proverbs 19:21 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.19.21/46346
Don’t follow your heart because it is “deceitful above all”. Make sure that you are anchored in the Word of God and follow His counsel in every area of your life and you won’t go wrong in this life or the next one.
Remember…
Make sure you place your treasure in heaven
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:19 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.6.19/46030
Comfort yourselves with this scripture…
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23:6 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.23.6/62591
We belong to Him…
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.8.35-39.KJV
We are the clay…
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.64.8.KJV
Do you need Jesus Christ?
I know this sounds like a silly question and to many people it may be, but all of us need Him. We need Him for our soul and the comfort that He brings to our heart, even before we accept Him. Jesus never leaves us, even when we haven’t accepted Him as our Savior, He is only a prayer away. He is near you during your best days and He is close to your heart on the worst days of your life.
God told many people in the Old Testament and in the New Testament that He would never leave them or forsake them. Why can God say this? Because, He knows what is going on your life and He knows the purpose that He has planned for you. God loved each of us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for ALL of our sins. Every sin that you have done in your life, regardless of what kind of sin it might be, God loves you! He hates the sin, but He has always loved us, because all of us are sinners. The thoughts of sinful behavior will still attack your mind even after you give your heart to Jesus, but He gives each of us the strength to resist the temptation to sin.
This is the reason that I write here this blog and the messages that He gives me. None of this comes from my own mind except by the Holy Spirit’s influence. Just as He gave me the sermons that I spoke for over nine years as a pastor at a local church. I can’t come up with all of this on my own but God can give me the words just as Jesus and the Holy Spirit gave the words to all of those writers in the whole Bible. God loves each of us, but He doesn’t love the sins in our lives. Truly, even one sin is enough to keep you out of Heaven if you haven’t repented of your sins and asked Him to come into your heart.
I illustrated this one time with a sheet of paper, as white as possible for a sheet of paper. But I took a fine point felt pen and touched it and I said that one dark spot can come between you and an eternity with God if you haven’t asked Jesus to come into your life to cleanse you from those sins and forgive us of those sins…large and small. Stealing a pen or a bag of chips breaks one of the Ten Commandments and that is enough to keep you from Heaven. Jesus can bring you salvation through your acceptance of Him as your Savior and your belief in Him for that Salvation…no matter what kind of sin you have been in. He can pardon you, forgive you and make you whole again. The empty place that you have felt most of your life is the place where the Holy Spirit is supposed to be. Invite Him in and give your life to Him today.
