You’re Already Welcome: Stop Trying to Earn the Door

Posted on by Leave a comment

God is not pushing you away, He invites you near.

“ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need..”  Hebrews 4:16

You may feel ashamed or hesitant, but God welcomes you. Because of Jesus, you can come boldly for mercy and help. Your confidence is not in yourself but in Christ. Notice it doesn’t say come when you’re perfect, it says come boldly. Many people stay away from God because they feel “not good enough,” but this verse flips that thinking. The throne you approach is not one of judgment for believers, it’s a throne of grace. You don’t clean yourself up to come to God; you come to God, to get cleaned up so He can restore you. Your confidence isn’t in your goodness, it’s in His mercy.

Thought to Ponder:
What keeps me from approaching God boldly?

Journaling Prompt:
Describe what it means to be welcomed by God.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me come boldly to You. Block the thoughts, whispers and self-doubt that I have used to convince myself that you would never accept someone like me. Thank you Lord for this chance to be there with You. In Jesus Name Amen.

Too Far Gone? Not Even Close

Posted on by Leave a comment

You may feel like your past disqualifies you, but God specializes in rewriting broken stories. No failure is stronger than His mercy, and no sin is beyond His reach.

“Though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,  and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.  The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” 1 Timothy 1:13-15


 In these verses, Paul openly admits who he used to be, a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. By human standards, he seemed completely unqualified, undeserving and completely unworthy. But he emphasizes, “I was shown mercy… Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst.” Paul did not hide his past; he highlights, stresses and accentuates it to magnify God’s grace.

When we read this passage we can see how it reminds us that Christianity is not about being “good enough” it’s about recognizing that we never were, never have been, and never will be without Jesus. Jesus didn’t come for the perfect; He came for the broken, the guilty, and the ones who think they’ve gone too far. Understand that the very thing you think and believe disqualifies you may be the exact place where God wants to show His mercy the most.

Your past doesn’t cancel you or your purpose. God’s grace is greater than your worst moment and He is still calling you.

Thought to Ponder:
 Am I defining myself by my past, or by God’s mercy?

Journaling Prompt:
Write down the mistakes or regrets that make you feel unworthy. Then write how God’s grace, according to this passage, speaks directly to those areas.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I often feel unworthy because of my past. But thank You for showing me that Your mercy is greater than my sin. Help me receive Your grace, not resist it. Remind and show me that You came to save people like me. Give me the courage to walk in freedom, leaving shame behind. In Jesus Name Amen.

John 8:3-11; Throw the First stone

Posted on by Leave a comment
stones on the ground

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. 

Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

In the presence of accusation and shame, Jesus responds with mercy and truth. He does not excuse the sin, and He does not crush the sinner. Instead, He silences condemnation and calls for repentance. This passage reminds us that grace changes lives. When we encounter Jesus, we are neither dismissed nor destroyed, we are forgiven, restored, and invited to walk forward in obedience, leaving sin behind and living transformed by mercy.


Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

The New Year What the Bible Says

Posted on by Leave a comment

New Year; a time for Reflection

As the New Year approaches, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the year ahead. For Christians, this can also be a time to consider what the Bible has to say about the New Year and how we can approach it in a way that is pleasing to God.

The Bible does not specifically mention the New Year as we know it today, as the concept of a new year beginning on January 1st is a tradition that dates back to the ancient Romans. However, the Bible does speak about the importance of new beginnings and the hope that comes with them.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites celebrated the new year with the festival of Rosh Hashanah, (Numbers 29:1-6) which marked the beginning of the civil year. Rosh Hashanah is still celebrated by Jewish people today, and it is a time of reflection and repentance. The festival is seen as a time to start anew and make right any wrongs that have been committed in the past.

The New Testament also emphasizes the importance of new beginnings. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse highlights the transformative power of faith in Jesus, who offers us the opportunity to start anew and become a new creation.

As Christians, the New Year can be a time for us to rededicate ourselves to following Jesus and living out our faith. This might involve setting spiritual goals, such as reading the Bible more, praying more consistently, or getting more involved in a church community. 2 Chronicles 7:14

The New Year can also be a time to focus on becoming more like Jesus in our everyday lives. This might involve working on becoming more patient, kind, or selfless. It could also involve serving others and showing God’s love to those around us. John 13:15, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 2:12

In addition to setting spiritual goals, the New Year can also be a time to set personal goals related to our health, relationships, careers, or other areas of life. The Bible encourages us to work towards becoming the best version of ourselves, Colossians 3:9-10, and setting goals can be a helpful way to do this.

However, it’s important to remember that our ultimate goal should be to glorify God, not just to achieve personal success or happiness. Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

As we approach the New Year, it can be helpful to spend time in prayer, asking God to guide us as we set goals and make plans for the year ahead. We can also ask for His strength and wisdom as we strive to follow Him and live out our faith.

The New Year is a time of hope and new beginnings, and as Christians, we can approach it with a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that God is with us and has a plan for our lives. Jeremiah 29:11 Let’s start the New Year off right by seeking God’s guidance and working towards becoming the best versions of ourselves, all for His glory.

Dear Heavenly Father, guide me through this new year helping me to always consider what You want. Guide every step I take, every thought I have, and every path I choose. In Jesus Name Amen

Can You See It?

But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape. But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness, so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night. But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. 1 Thessalonians 5:1:11 WEB

So with everything that’s going on right now we look around and sometimes it makes us doubt that God has control of everything that’s going on. We’ve been told in the Bible that the devil was given control over this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4, likewise we were given free will to choose which way we are going to do, Joshua 24:15. As we look around we see governments that are controlling people and they’re oppressing their people.

We see friends and family that are divided against each other. When we look at it the one thing that we need to remember is no matter what happens inevitably those institutions that are above us, government, state leaders, you name it will always look out for themselves. No matter how bad it seems we need to always make sure that we’re looking out for each other. Those around us, our family, our friends, you know the ones that we’ve always known and that have always known us.

With that statement we need to remember the following Bible verses from Psalms: You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble. Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:5-10 WEB

angry pointing

Right now it’s so important to pay attention. Our morals are being questioned, our children are being attacked, and we are being told that we’re the ones that aren’t good. We have been told in the Bible that there will be a time were evil is good and good as evil, Isaiah 5:20. We are told that if we don’t agree with everything that’s going on within the world right now that we’re the ones that are evil. We are told that Jesus Christ himself would’ve supported all of the evil that we have surrounding us right now.

Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. Revelation 3:3 ESV

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58 WEB

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Revelation 2:5 ESV

If you read the Bible you’ll know that that view point is completely wrong, it is not what God told us. In fact the New Testament in some aspects holds us even more accountable than it ever has before. In the Old Testament we were given the 10 Commandments in the New Testament they added more to it, now if we even look at somebody the wrong way we have committed a sin. This is why it is so important to know exactly what the Bible says and not what somebody thinks the Bible says. It is so important right now to make sure that you’re reading the Bible and knowing exactly what it says I cannot say that enough. We have to pay attention right now more than ever before, Romans 13:11-12, we need to make sure we know exactly what God wants us to do. There are so many things that surround us right now that will make us doubt exactly what he said if we don’t know what the Bible says.

“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. You know where I go, and you know the way.” John 14:1-4 WEB

When everything seems like it is going wrong as human beings we tend to look for things to comfort us that aren’t always our best decisions of comfort. Sometimes we will look to the wrong people for comfort. Some of us will look to drugs, alcohol, and relationships. Some of these things are real bad for us, mentally and health wise. Sometimes the wrong people will tell us what we want to hear and not what we should hear. Sometimes they do it out of the best of intentions because they want you to feel better because they’re good friends.

But that doesn’t always mean it’s right, or what God wants you to do. I by no means I’m sitting here pointing the finger and saying I am better than anybody else. I’ve done the drugs, I’ve drank the alcohol, I’ve tried to find comfort in friends that weren’t appropriate. Sometimes it makes me wonder why God forgives me or has taken care of me as much as He has. I have a Multiple Sclerosis.

The MS has been a learning experience, I was deaf, blind, and couldn’t walk for a while; God’s taken me through all of this. You would think that that would cement a relationship with God, it has, but there are days I still question it. I still think I can do it better even though He has done so much for me. It’s human nature, not an excuse and not the best but it is part of what makes us human. God tells us over and over again to not to be afraid, not to be anxious, and to always depend on Him.

But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient. Matthew 6:33-34 WEB

When looking around we can see all of the misinformation, the oppression, and any other bad choice that seems to make us doubt. We need to remember the things that we’ve been told in the Old Testament and how His people were treated throughout history. What’s going on right now is not new, human beings seem to repeat themselves and do the same thing over and over and over again. Something I say a lot is that 2000 years ago they were riding in chariots, today we’re driving SUV’s but we’re still dealing with the same issues we have always done. This is why it’s so important to understand the Bible verse that is next don’t forget so you don’t repeat:

Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ Isaiah 46:9-10 ESV

Redemption

In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace Ephesians 1:7 WEB

His Love

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; Ephesians 2:4-7 WEB

Praying

Daily Prayers

There’s one thing that you can do that will help your prayer life. It will help you gain a better and stronger relationship with Jesus Christ. You can use scripture itself, reading it outloud as a prayer to God. You will be doing double duty not only will you be praying but you’ll be reading his word. When you’re reading his word like this over and over again you are learning it, you’re gaining that relationship with God that he desires.

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! Psalm 139:23-24

Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Psalm 25:4

Most Important Birthday

Celebrate

We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. John 9:4 ESV Have you ever considered this statement/Bible verse? Jesus told us that we’re supposed to work the work of our Heavenly Father,. If we’re not working and doing what we can to complete the great commission. Are we truly doing what we’ve been told to do.

The great commission tells us that we are supposed to spread the word through the entire world. But if we’re not reading the Bible, if we’re not sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, how are we doing what He told us He wanted us to do. So as we’re going into another Christmas, Jesus Christ birthday, we know that we’re one year closer to either Jesus Christ returning to Earth or another birthday. Every birthday we have draws us closer to the end of our life. There are some that say that we should never celebrate birthdays, we should not celebrate Christmas because it’s looking back on the past. However, that is opposite of what we’re told to do in the Bible.

You can see this in the Bible verse that follows: So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 ESV So if we number our days and we grow our wisdom but we’re not doing what we were told, spreading the word, are we truly gaining wisdom for God or are we selfishly just gaining wisdom for ourselves. This is why it’s so important to celebrate our birthdays and celebrating Jesus’s birthday on Christmas, the true meaning of the day.

A lot of people say that Christmas is not actually anything having to do with Jesus Christ himself. They’ll say Christmas was created to disguise the satanic rituals and pagan holidays of the past. There are a lot of these celebrations from the past that they claim were used to continue to celebrate and cover up and being disguised as Christmas. When studying these “holidays” they had nothing to do with Christmas or Christ. These celebrations had to do with the gods of the past like Saturn and others that people liked to worship. They weren’t set around dates on Christmas, sometimes close but Christmas has always been a date all to his self.

These festivals usually followed and were around the winter solstice. All of this stuff is pagan beliefs and worship that had nothing to do with Christmas. After all no matter how much they try to cover it up always remember the first part of the word Christmas, it’s Christ. Some of these things that they claim are celebrations and festivals that started after anybody celebrated the first Christmas itself. Honestly they’re still trying to cover stuff up. That’s why they call it Xmas now and happy holidays they don’t want anything to do with the word Christ.

This is why it is so important to to do those things that we’re told in the Bible just like in the Bible verse that follows: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV When we pray we are depending on God. We are saying take this, we trust Him, we give it to Him this is yours Lord. This is how we are able to create that relationship that we are told we need to have with God and Jesus Christ. Without this relationship we will never know the Holy Spirit.

This relationship creates the connection we see in the following verse: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:15-17 ESV

Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians 5:20 ESV

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11 ESV

Refuge

Set forth your case, says the Lord; bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob. Let them bring them, and tell us what is to happen. Tell us the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, that we may know their outcome; or declare to us the things to come. Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; do good, or do harm, that we may be dismayed and terrified. Behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you. Isaiah 41:21-24 ESV

The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. Psalm11:1-7 ESV

Redemption

In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace Ephesians 1:7 WEB

His Love

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; Ephesians 2:4-7 WEB

All Nations

For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:30-32 ESV

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9 ESV

Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4 ESV

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? Romans 2:4 ESV

A Thought

When we are in the thick of it; we all know how hard it is to have that smile on our face. Those days, weeks, and sometimes years that seem to be one hit after another. Even to the point where it seems like we’re on the ground being pounded on not having a chance to breathe. I know that it seems too much but if we keep on moving forward not thinking about the unrelenting on slot we will make it through the other side stronger.

Remember

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 WEB

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him. Isaiah 30:18 ESV

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB

If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.” Exodus 18:23 ESV

Dear Heavenly Father, with all of the turmoil and on slot that never seems to end. Lord, please give me peace and understanding. We have been told: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 ESV I give this to you Lord, Thank you for all that You have done and all that You have shown me through all of this. In Jesus Name Amen

Nothing Better

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 ESV

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. James 5:7-9 ESV

But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger 2 Corinthians 6:4-5 ESV

May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy Colossians 1:11ESV

In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace Ephesians 1:7 WEB

His Glory

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:1-9 ESV

Be Prepared

2 Peter:3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

AND

2 Peter 3:17-18 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

With everything that is going on right now it has become easy to do stuff that we think is right that is 100% opposite of what God has planned for us.

Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy. Isaiah 4:5 ESV

Shout It Out

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:13 ESV

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, Give me the strength to stand on the hill and be the light. Give me the power to deflect the rocks that are being flung at me. Lord surround me with the angels that you surrounded Elisha with 2 Kings 6:17. Lord surround me with the wall of protection that You used in Zechariah 2:5. Be my light for and give me Your direction. In Jesus Name Amen
