Light of the World


 

Psalm 143 and Isaiah 9:1-7

David talks to God about his darkness, losing his way, feeling crushed by the enemy. David asks God “Hear my prayer; in your faithfulness listen to my pleading; answer me in your righteous.” Psalm 143:1

Isaiah tells us that “The people who have walked in darkness has seen a great light. Upon those who lived in a land of gloom a light has shone.” Isaiah 9:1.

Wow how times really haven’t changed. I know for me both these scriptures speak to me even today. I pray for God’s protection from this evil world. How it seems we are so quick to point out others' wrongs. Throw them under the bus just so we don’t have to talk fault in our own action. How we seek to satisfy our flesh over choosing the right thing to do. It isn’t an initial act. We don’t set out to hurt one another. We are just trying to either keep a job, relationship, etc. We don’t intend to live in darkness. Our God knows this, that is why He decided to come to earth to help us. He sent King Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son, just as he promised.

Why would he do that for us? Simply He wants us. Everyone of us. He WANTS to be the one we run to just like David did. He wants us to cry out to him for help, He knows what is in this world and doesn’t want us to do this journey on our own.

God Almighty sent us the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, King Jesus Christ. Come and let him light your way through the darkness. Let His Holy Spirit live in you. REJOICE AND BE GLAD FOR YOUR SAVIOR IS HERE.

Steadfast Saturday

  Happy  STEADFAST  Saturday my brothers and sisters in King Jesus Christ! STEADFAST  -   firmly fixed in place:  IMMOVABLE What do you think of when someone says the words  STEADFAST ? Do we show each other  STEADFAST  anything? I know I would love my answer to be YES, but I must be honest with you, my brothers and sisters in King Jesus Christ. I strive to show King Jesus Christ and how  STEADFAST  anything looks.  I fail everyday with this task. Example: I want so to show my husband  STEADFAST  patience and love aka mercy. However, he can get under my skin and as soon as we are done talking; I walk off or he does, and I immediately start saying things that are not very nice. Things I should go back and ask forgiveness for from him. There are days when I do ask for forgiveness and days I don't. I try to show  STEADFAST  mercy and love with my son, but I fail at that also. He is 12 and very smart and head strong. So many questions that I don’t seem to know the answer to. Must of th

BITTERNESS

Image
  Good morning my brothers and sisters in King Jesus Christ. Today we are going to talk about a topic that even makes me feel uncomfortable. BITTERNESS -  anger and disappointment  at being treated unfairly ; resentment . Do you have BITTERNESS in your heart?  Let's be honest we ALL have dealt with or still dealing with BITTERNESS in our lives. No one wants to admit to it. It is easier to say that we love everyone, but that is not the truth. I know that seems harsh of me to say, right? Truth be told we  ALL have dealt with or is still dealing with BITTERNESS about something that someone did to us. I know I did and still do at times. Bitterness creeps in like a thief waiting to drive a wedge between God and you. It binds us and takes hold so fast. It's not fair they got that promotion or that grade or that raise or that healing. The list just goes on and on. Always comparing ourselves to each other and then we are captive to it. We need to let King Jesus Christ open our eyes so

Obedience

  Good evening my brothers and sisters in King Jesus Christ. I pray your Sunday was full of worship and praise for God along with rest. Today at church the priest spoke about OBEDIENCE and how it is the key to everlasting life with God in Heaven. To be obedient is a hard thing, especially these dark days. The world continues to say to rely on oneself for everything. Don't listen to them. You are your own person. However if we are honest then we are being OBEDIENT to something that is not God. When I was growing up I was taught the 10 commandments. I was taught to obey God, my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, pretty much anyone older than me.It was called respect. It didn't hurt me actually it taught me a lot. It helped when I got older and it was time for me to go get a job. We all know if you don't obey the rules at work then you will be fired.  So how do we apply this to our Spiritual life? Well King Jesus said, " Anyone who loves me will obey my teach
