Many of us feel that we can’t get through another treatment or another board meeting, but God can give you the strength and the patience to get through them both. Don’t try to do everything on your own, allow Him to give you the peace and the strength to get through whatever life throws at you and He will carry you through it!

If Jesus only fulfilled these prophecies, we would have solid proof that He is the Messiah. But He did much more than prove Who He was when He came the first time. Jesus is our Savior, King, and Creator and He is coming back…likely much sooner than most people think. In today’s world, most people don’t think He was real and if they do believe that He is Who the Bible says He is, they’re not sure what to do with that information.
God provided the sacrifice to pay for the sins of man, and humanity in general, but most of the world doesn’t want to believe the Truth of God’s Word. Everyone seems to want to “create” their own “god” that is comfortable and acceptable to them. The problem with this is…we are created in His Image and His creation shouldn’t create a god in their image. That is given as a commandment! The first commandment!
We have been given His grace and mercy, neither of which we deserve but because of His love for us, we have received them in abundance. I pray that anyone who is looking for a Savior will read these scriptures and seek Jesus to be your Savior. I don’t believe the world will have to wait much longer to have the proof of God’s existence because the church will soon be gone. I can’t give you dates or years but with everything that is happening in and around Israel, the prophecies in Ezekiel and in the first few chapters of Revelation are about to come true.
As Christians, we are called by Jesus to become one of His disciples. Not to become rich or famous but to live your life so that anyone around you can see that there is something different about you. Yes, we are called to be different from the world around us because the people that we meet every day need to know Jesus Christ. Some of them do know Him but many don’t and if we don’t live and breathe any differently than the rest of the world…what will show them that our life is different or better than we used to be?
Considering the sacrifice and the torture that Jesus went through for our salvation, there is no way we can repay Him except by living our lives walking with Him every day. It is the least we can do for Him since He did so much for all of us long before we were born. God had a plan for your life and mine and we should walk according to His Word every day with the Holy Spirit leading us because we can’t do it on our own.
Many have made sacrifices to live for Jesus and many more will do so before the Kingdom begins at the end of the Tribulation but it will be worth it! God’s grace and mercy are ours according to His promises when we accept Jesus as our Savior and eternity with Him is the promise I’m looking forward to. Amen? Make sure of your eternity before your “end of days” comes because we don’t know when that day is.
