What is a surrendered life?


You’ve given your heart and your life to Jesus so how do you truly surrender to following Him?

Determine to commit your whole existence to Him. No matter how ugly or sinful it might appear to you, every part of your life. Regardless of your perception, even the small details should be surrendered to Jesus. This includes all of your daily decisions, no matter how small you think they are. It even includes looking for your keys or what grocery items to buy. Every decision in your life should be “filtered through Jesus”.

It sounds impossible to do, doesn’t it? It would be if we were doing it on our own but when you become a Christian the Holy Spirit lives inside you and with His strength and guidance you can live this way. It isn’t easy though. Your desires and ideas will get in the way and you will stumble off the pathway at times but He will guide you back if you listen to Him and follow Him. It is a daily struggle and Jesus told His disciples they would have trouble in this world.

God knows our weaknesses and our strengths and He is willing to help us with both. That is the function of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He helps us and teaches us in every way. God is not “controlling” us but if we are moving away from His will for our lives He will move us back. If we are so stubborn that we push through and go our way, He will let us fail and fall until we realize that we messed up.

God can do it!


When you get to the end of your rope, give it to Jesus and He can accomplish whatever is needed for your good and His glory.

You need to HEAR it!


Praise God


Pray for all


I trust in God!


‭Psalm 143:8 KJV‬ [8] Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee. https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.143.8.KJV

Regardless of the situation that you may find yourself in, God is with you. If you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Savior, God is near but not protecting you in every situation. Many people think they are Christians if they go to church occasionally, but that is not the truth. When the Holy Spirit calls you to become a Christian He will convict you of your need for Jesus. It is your choice to answer that call. Whether you answer it that day or not, you may not have another chance to answer it because we are not given tomorrow…only today.

God’s power brings salvation


Go to the world…


The Deliverer


What do you know of Jesus Christ? Most of us, including me, only know what we have heard or read in the New Testament and that is a beginning. But there is so much more in the Old Testament prophets that tell of His character and of the things that He will do. Most of which He fulfilled during His time on Earth at His advent. Other prophecies point to His second coming and His rule as King during the one-thousand-year reign after the Tribulation.

Jesus is the Son of God and He was present at the beginning when everything was created. Even at that point, He knew that He would have to pay for the sins of mankind but we don’t look at it that way. We don’t even consider Jesus’s existence until He is born in Bethlehem. But, He shows up as the Angel of the Lord many times during Genesis and in the pillar of fire and in Daniel with the three Hebrew men who were thrown into a fiery furnace.

God shows up as a Deliverer in many ways today in our times of need. He is always close to those who have accepted Him as their Savior but He is also near to those who are about to be called into His family. You may not know that He is about to call you but you will know when He calls.
