God's Love Letter to YOU

God's Love Letter to YOU


Scripture: "Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:16

Love Letter

Dear Child of Mine,

I saw you before you were born, and I destined you for a great purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). While your mom was pregnant with you, I personally designed you with incredible detail and precision (Psalm 139:13,14). From the get-go, I planned so many amazing things for you, you could never even count them if you tried (Psalm 40:5).

But I knew in advance that you would go astray and forget me, so I asked My perfect Son Jesus to take your punishment Himself (Isaiah 53:5). He was willing to be humiliated and murdered so that you could be eternally healed (Isaiah 53:5). He loved you so much that He came down to earth to show you what I'm really like (John 14:7).

When you first believed in Me, I immediately accepted you into My own family (John 1:12). I forgave all your sins through My Son Jesus (1 John 2:12). And now Jesus is in Heaven with Me, preparing a place for you (John 14:2). In fact, I am living inside of you because You believe in My Son (I John 4:15).

I am forever committed to you; there is no circumstance under which I will leave you or take my love away from you (Hebrews 13:5; Romans 8:38). Even when you go through the hardest trials, I will be with you and carry you through them (Isaiah 43:2). In fact, I will cause EVERYTHING to work together for your good, because you have loved me back and I have a great purpose for you (Romans 8:28).

Is there anything you need right now? Ask Me. I am your Good Father and I won't give you something bad in return (Matthew 7:11). Actually, I have My own Spirit readily available to you to help you in your weakest hour (Romans 8:26). I know you get tempted to lose faith, but even when you do, I will remain faithful to you (2 Timothy 2:13). I want you to ask Me for great things, because I want to answer you (John 16:23). Take a look up at the heavens; My love for you goes even higher than that (Psalm 108:4). Don't lose heart: I want you to know that I am coming back for you (Revelation 22:12).

And just remember: I AM LOVE (1 John 4:16). I am always patient, always kind. I'm never envious, proud or boastful. I'm not rude, and I only want the best for you. I don't get easily irritated with you or hold a grudge toward you. I am sad when you are hurt or wronged, but love when the truth prevails in your life. I will never stop being patient with you, never lose hope or give up on you. I WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

My love for you is everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3).

Respond to God

When someone tells another person they love them, they love to hear it back in return. Will you tell God how much you love and trust Him? He longs for a beautiful and committed relationship with you for the rest of your life, until you meet Him in Heaven

Grace and Peace

Grace and Peace:







Grace is God’s unmerited/demerited favor (Ephesians 2:1-9; cf. Luke 18:10-14).

Many of the “righteous” Jews of Jesus’ day could not come to grips with Jesus’ message of grace (Luke 18:10-14).
The unbelieving Jews in Paul’s day (and even Christians) had a hard time coming to grips with the implications of God’s grace.

PEACE

Peace is the restoration of a broken or disrupted relationship. The peace of the Gospel is our being reconciled to God through the cross of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:19-20; Romans 5:1,10).
These are the twelve marks of a person who has received the Grace and peace through Jesus Christ.

1. Has an undiluted devotion to Jesus
2. Pursues a biblically informed view of the world
3. Is intentional and disciplined in seeking God’s direction in life
4. Worships, and has a spirit of continuous repentance
5. Builds healthy, reciprocal human relationships
6. Knows how to engage the larger world where faith is not necessarily understood
7. Is aware of personal “call” and unique competencies
8. Is merciful and generous
9. Appreciates that suffering is part of faithfulness to Jesus
10. Is eager and ready to express the content of his faith
11. Overflows with thankfulness
12. Has a passion for reconciliation

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:15-18)

Healing prayer




If you desire to pray for the power to
receive healing or if you just want to
release your faith for health and wholeness
You can receive right now
Jesus is where you are right this moment

Jesus is the healer;
Your part is to say and do.
So you say these things out loud.

You say;
Jesus is my healer
He bore my sicknesses and my diseases and pain
I expect to receive now.
Pray this prayer in faith and mean it with your whole heart
Accept it and believe it!

Father, the word of God, that I have heard and confess
is the power of God unto my salvation
I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
over my life, spirit, soul and body
I receive the power of God to make me whole,
sound, deliver, saved and healed now
I act on the word of God and receive His power

Sickness, disease and pain
I resist you in the name of Jesus
You are not the will of God
I enforce the word of God on you
I will not tolerate you in my life
Leave my presence,
I will never allow you back
I have been healed and made sound
Jesus made me whole
My days of sickness and disease are over

I am the saved, I am the healed and the power of
sickness has been forever broken over my life
Jesus bore my sickness
Jesus bore my weakness
Jesus bore my pain and I am free
No sickness, no sin, no fear, no evil addiction
shall lord it over me any longer
I have been redeemed from the curse
and I receive the blessing
I proclaim my freedom in Jesus name

The gospel is the power of God to me, unto my salvation
I receive the gospel, I act on the gospel and I am
made whole in the name of the lord Jesus Christ.
Amen!

Make a daily Call to the LORD


Make a daily Call to the LORD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Jeremiah 33:3
3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
This is why it is important that you tell our Heavenly Father that you love Him. Call on Him, and when you do, pay attention and see how His Spirit will open your understand to His Word, and do His work in your life. Pray for wisdom, and ask Him for the truths of the "mighty things", which is "the hidden things" to be revealed to you. When you talk to our Lord, you talk to Him in a natural way, like you would a friend. Many people feel that when they talk to the Lord that have to be in a certain religious mode, and use all the right words. Friend, God understands your thoughts before you even form them, but it is you that must express them in your own mind. 
God has already placed the hidden things in His Word, the Scriptures, and when we ask for the wisdom to understand those hidden meanings, then understanding comes together. Verses start to relate to one another, and they start to apply to our lives. But there is a condition here, and that is if you will call unto me, and ask me. Anytime you have the word "LORD" in the King James, that means in the manuscripts it is the Sacred name of God, "YHVH", and you are to call on the Father, in Jesus name. 

HE wants to show us.. He doesn’t always want us to do as man does or how they interpret things. He gave us HIS Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us. Isn’t it time we take advantage of that!!
Wealth to me means many things.. not just monetary.. and also remember the Lord wants us to have things.. He is able to give us blessings so that we can be a blessing to others. This is more important than anything we could possible have or be. WE ARE TO BE A BLESSING. We don’t have wealth to Hoard, or build ourselves up, we are blessed so we can be a blessing to others. Having wealth makes it so much easier.

ONLY JESUS CHRIST GIVES US JOY



ONLY JESUS CHRIST GIVES US JOY




If you're seeking joy today, it doesn't come in the way most people expect. Joy is not found in possessions, fame, or power. You won't find lasting joy in a promotion, a new relationship, or by getting revenge on your enemies.

Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
—Luke 15:7 
Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and, gathering them around him, he taught them, saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are they that mourn
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are they that thirst for justice
Blessed are you when persecuted
Blessed are you when you suffer
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven

John 14: 11“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. (Our joy is in relationship to his joy.)

It is time for us to believe the Scriptures and make our requests known to God in Jesus’ name. Just think about the joy that would fill your heart if you really believed this promise.

First, your joy would explode every time you received the things you requested.

Second, your joy would fill up and overflow you as you discovered your God loves you enough to give you the desires of your heart. Soon, you would be telling everyone you know about your wonderful God and Savior.
 

The Vine and the Branches


The Vine and the Branches:
John.15:1-5











15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

These verses tell us that we should hold on to Jesus Christ. In times when we think there is no solution to our problems, all we need is to remain in the Vine. The Lord tells us to still be in faith. He is encouraging us by telling us that everything is under control. All we need is to keep His Words and fix our eyes on Him. If we continue to be faithful, rest assured that God will provide a breakthrough to answer our needs. To summarize it all, continue to get a grip on Him, and He will make us bountiful. Without God, everything is impossible, but the Lord makes all things possible (Matthew 19:26)

All of us come to Jesus with our own weaknesses, hurts and struggles, imperfections, and sinful patterns of selfishness and pride. And it can be discouraging that as we attempt to follow Jesus and live out our faith, we sometimes struggle with some of the same issues and patterns we brought into the spiritual life. Nevertheless, John 15 offer great hope that as we abide more and more in Christ, these spiritual fruits -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness and self-control -- will grow in us more and more.

As we abide in Jesus, with His Spirit within us, His life and His character will progressively replace ours and we will bring glory to Him in our lives!

Dear Father,

I continue to struggle, but I know You are able to do great things and produce fruit in my life. Give me the confidence in You to know that You are working and pruning and growing Jesus in me day-by-day, as I abide in Him.
Amen.
