~*~*The Message~*~*

[Frank]

 

"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures." ....1 Corinthians 15: 3-4. ******************************** We have a message given us which will never change or grow old.  It is the good News of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We cannot change the message, but The message will change us, if we let the spirit of the Lord work within our heart and life. Jesus works from the inside out, by His Spirit.  Changes must be made in one's heart, before there will be lasting changes in a life.    The Apostle Paul did not invent the message he delivered to both Gentile and Jew. He boldly proclaimed that his words were those which he also had received. The early disciples had a message to deliver, which was also given to them To transform the world.   We are also to study the truth, confess the truth, teach The truth and be sanctified through the truth.  The message of the Lord and The gospel, is the power of God unto salvation.  We have been given timeless Truths for tough times.     In today's society, we see many new religions which have sprung up , teaching Another gospel.  The beliefs have been fabricated, and not given by divine  Inspiration, as those given by the Lord.  We are to turn away from teachings  Which do not confess that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and eternal life.  There is but one mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ.  The  Message which was given to the disciples is the same message the Lord gives  Us today, and is to be proclaimed until the day of the Lord.    Many teachings today may sound good and appeal to the emotions or the Flesh, yet when examined in the light of God's Word; we find they fall short Of the doctrines taught by Jesus and the Apostles.  We walk by faith and Not by sight, and are to be led by the Spirit of the Lord.   God's Spirit and The Word always agree.  Our Lord has given us spiritual armor and weapons Of warfare which are not carnal, but mighty.  Strongholds crumble in the Name of the Lord, as we trust in Him with our whole heart.   May our hearts be filled with wisdom of the Lord and discernment to know The truth, which sets one free.  Only in Christ, can we have  blessed assurance and  Hope, proclaimed in God's holy Word.  On Christ the 'Solid Rock' we must stand. All other ground is just sinking sand.  When we have the right foundation, we Can be assured our steps will be directed in right paths, as Jesus leads the way. The message changes us, as the Master writes His words upon our hearts. May God be glorified, as we give thanks and adoration, to the King of all Kings And Lord of all Lords, who lives, forevermore.   Blessings In Christ, Jo Ann Kelly ©  2010, 2006 J. P.'s Inspirations   *******************   ~All THROUGH THE DAY~   At the rising of the sun Until the end of every day, Praise the Lord,  give Him thanks, As you bow your head to pray.   The warmth of God's love and mercy Has filled our hearts with hope and zeal, His peace and joy is so great, How could it ever be concealed?   We have been blessed so richly All  along life's narrow path, God has freely given us salvation He has delivered our souls from wrath.   The greatest gift of all Can be received by faith, God  will write new names above, If souls choose the straight and narrow way.   When we close our eyes in sleep And give thanks unto our Lord, Holy angels encamp all around us, As promised in God's Holy Word.   We thank God for His presence Each new day, He helps us stand, Give Him all the praise and glory Now, and forever,  Amen.    Jo Ann Kelly ©  2010, 2006 J. P.'s Inspirations ***************************   QUOTES AND ONE-LINERS Life is like a roller coaster ride.   Hang on tight!  Jesus is in control!   If you jump to conclusions, you make terrible landings!   After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible, is music.   "The secret of [Jesus'] unparalleled religious life, was his consciousness of the presence of God...."   Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever.  - June Masters Bacher   Music in itself is something that is healing.  It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by.  No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. "Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen.  Keep in the sunlight."   "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.  Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." ---Helen Keller *************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *   Have A Blessed Day!   'I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of  God unto salvation to every one that believeth." .........Romans 1: 16   Song wave--  "Just Like You"...Brian Free and Group
