29 December :) You Can Be Free JOHN 8:31-32 NRSV 31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Everyone wants to be free, but many have given up hope that it is possible. But Jesus gave a promise, valid for you today. You can be free! Many suffer from physical problems. Jesus' promise includes you! Some are bound by debt. The promise of Jesus applies to you, also! Others are bound by fear. You can be free! Many are bound by destructive habits they are unable to quit. Sin enslaves people, but you can be free from its power! JOHN 8:34 NRSV 34 Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. Jesus will set you free from the power of sin. He will not take away your freedom to sin, but He will change you inwardly, so you don't want to sin. Real freedom is more than being able to do what you want to do. Real freedom is not having to do what you do not want to do. JOHN 8:36 NRSV 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Free indeed! The answers are in the Word of God: the New Testament. SAY THIS: I will continue in Jesus' Word, and as He promised, I will know the truth and it will make me free. 21 December ,Walk In Love EPHESIANS 4:31-32 ICB 31 Do not be bitter or angry or mad. Never shout angrily or say things to hurt others. Never do anything evil. 32 Be kind and loving to each other. Forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ. As a human who has been hurt, you may find it impossible to forgive and walk in love. But as a child of God, with God helping you, you can do it. God freely forgave you. Now, with His love placed in your heart, you are to act like Him and forgive others. EPHESIANS 5:1-2 NIV 1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Putting others first is the essence of walking in love. Selfishness is the opposite of walking in divine love. COLOSSIANS 3:12-13 NIV 12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. If you are having trouble with this, just ask the Lord to work in you and change you. Tell Him you need help. SAY THIS: I can walk in love because the Lord is my Helper 19 December , God Can Be Trusted HEBREWS 10:23 NKJ 23 . . . He who promised is faithful. The devil is trying to get you to doubt God and His Word. The devil wants you to give up on God, to not trust Him, to not expect Him to do what He said in His Word. Do not give up! God can be trusted. Someone who loves you enough to die in your place can be trusted. Someone who created all that you see, and all that you don't see, can be trusted to handle whatever you face. TITUS 1:2 NASB 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago, God is not a liar. Whatever He says comes to pass! 1 THESSALONIANS 5:24 NIV 24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. God is trustworthy. Don't be moved by the circumstances. God will not fail you. SAY THIS: God is worthy of my trust. I trust Him with my past, present, and future. 12 December todayThe Acceptable Time
Some people will say the reason they are not Christians is that it is just not their time yet. They don't think they are ready. That would be like someone who is drowning in the middle of the ocean saying to the lifeguard, "I am not ready yet." What part of dead do they not understand? I would say that if you are drowning, then you are ready for salvation. Unbelievers are in a worse state than a person who is drowning, because they are separated from God by their sin. If they are wondering when they should come to Jesus Christ, the time is right now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month. It's right now. God says, "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). This is the acceptable time. We don't know how long it will last. There is coming a day when Jesus Christ will return to this earth for His people. There is coming a day when He will catch all true believers up into heaven with Him. We call it the rapture of the church. It is that moment that we look forward to as Christians, when we will go to be with the Lord. It is described in Scripture as happening "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (2 Corinthians 15:52). Now is the time when God is looking in grace upon those who are separated from Him by sin, and the gospel is going out to them. Now is the day of salvation. 10 December :)
