Jesus knew…..
Drawing of Key by J.M.R. Larman.
……………………….
St. John Chapter 13 verse 3
Jesus knew that the Father had put
all things under His power
and
that He had come from God
and
was returning to God;
***
As Christians we have been given the Power that Jesus bestowed upon us to use for His Kingdom while we live on this earth, then when our time is right we shall return to God our maker in Heaven to be with Jesus. Let us make good use today of that divine power and walk in the love of The Lord Jesus.
Taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by: J.M.R.Larman.
***
So the Key to the Power of the Kingdom of God is Jesus, he has bestowed on us Power to use by His Holy Spirit indwelling in us when we have accepted Jesus as Lord of our life. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus, who helps us to pray, who opens the door to the throne room of God, who will hear our Prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What a privilage to be able to Pray to our Heavenly Father at any time day or night. Remember The Holy Spirit never sleeps He is with us always, to comfort and guide us, teach us and lead us in the ways of The Kingdom of God. Now that must be Power indeed.
Did you know that I beleive The Dove represents
the Holy Spirit.
*****
* Have a Lovely Powerful Day walking
in the Power of Jesus,
in Peace & Love & Joy
to share with others *

A Son
St. John: Chapter 1 verse 12
But as many as received Him,
to them gave He power
to become the sons of God,
even to them that
believed on His name:
*
We must believe on the Name of Jesus if we want to be a Son of God. Are you a Son of God? If not how about inviting Jesus into your heart today, even this minute, so that you can be a Son of the most High God. It is something us as Christians treasure, having Jesus in our hearts.
***
The above is taken from the book:
‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.
***
To be a Son of God is a bit different than being a Son of your earthly Father. How can we describe the difference – well that is difficult if you have not experienced it for yourself.
One of the main things is that when you are a Son of God then He is your Heavenly Father, you belong to His family with Jesus His Son as your Saviour and Brother, with The Holy Spirit (that is The Spirit of Jesus that Jesus sent to be with us when He went back up to Heaven).
So we not only have Jesus in our hearts but the whole Trinity
– Father, Son and Holy Ghost –
We are never alone.
So when our earthly father dies and is gone from this life, we as Christians have our Heavely Father with us forever through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That can be a great comfort to know this.
*****
Have a lovely Day today knowing that as a Christian we are never alone.

Be Kind
Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 31.
He who oppresses the poor
shows contempt for their Maker
but whoever is kind to the needy
honours God.
***
Who of us that belong to God would want to oppress the poor? However this does seem to happen sometimes without us even knowing until it is pointed out to us by God. The poor are not only those without financial or worldly goods but are those poor souls without Jesus. The kindest thing we can do is to tell them about Him as well as befriending them.
The above is taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.
***
Let us see how nice it is to be kind to one another. Sometimes just a smile will do. Other times we may need to do a bit more to be kind to those we love. How often do we take our families for granted expecting them to do things for us and grumbling when they don’t. Well – maybe we should look at our own attitude remembering that we will honour God our Heavenly Father when we take time to appreciate those who are in our care.
It is good to let others know that we have Jesus in our lives and as Christians encourage others to want to know why.
God Bless you today if you are a Christian and also if you are not maybe you may decide to become one. It is very easy – just repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your life, how about that then?………..Well one day you may give it a go……..
To Repent means: that you do not want to do that bad thing again whatever it is or was.
Have lovely day today.

Not Ashamed
Romans: Chapter 1 verse 16.
For I am not ashamed
of
the Gospel of Christ.
*
I pray that we too are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. That we will speak to unbelievers about Jesus and not be embarrassed or ashamed to mention His Name anbd tell them what He has done for us.
*****
Well………..are you ashamed of the Gospel of Christ…..?????
Are you frightened to tell people that you beleive in Jesus ?
Are you frightened that they may think you are away with the fairies ?
If you are frightened that unbleivers will not go to Heaven when they die……..then……….you will not be frightened to tell them about the Gospel of Christ.
Tell them that Jesus is real….Tell them what you believe is the Truth written in the Holy Bible.
Keep things simple – just tell them Jesus really did come to this Earth that we live on to save our Souls….. Yes we do all have a Soul and yes we do have a right to believe or not to believe.
God has given us Free Will – we are not puppets.
We can chose whether we go to Heaven or Hell.
God has got feelings and would love us to belong to His family with Jesus Christ His Son.
*****
This gives us food for thought to think about.
Have a lovely day while you make your decision –
That is if you have not already decided where you would like your Soul to spend Eternity when it leaves this Earth.
***
I pray that God will bless you to make the right decision for yourself…… only you have the right to decide what is best for you. Not your friends, not your parents, nobody else just you can make this decision.
I made my decision to have Jesus in my life.
God Bless You.

Prisoner for The Lord
Drawing by: Artist J.Larman.
——————-
Ephesians: Chapter 4 verse 1
As a prisoner for The Lord,
then I urge you to live a life
worthy of the calling
you have received.
*
What a wonderful thing it is when God Himself has called us into His Kingdom. What an honour to be a prisoner for Jesus. It’s only with His help that we can ever be truly worthy of the calling we have received to work for the Kingdom of God.
***
So – if we are Christians we need to try to be worthy and do some work at least for The Kingdom of God.
I do know that we do not have to work for our Salvation as it is already ours when we invite Jesus into our lives having then repented of our sins and have been forgiven of them.
Therefore one of the things that we can do for God our Father in Heaven would be a good thing to try not to do that sin again. Then how good would we feel that being a prisoner of Jesus we can do that for Him.
If you happen to feel that you are living in a prison at the moment, either in your home or a relationship – remember what the disciples did when they were in a real prison……?
Well they sang – what a privilege to be able to sing out loud or in our hearts to God and thank Him for our Salvation which no-one can take away from us.
Praise The Lord.
I pray that you have a lovely Day today and all through the coming week.
* Rejoice in being
a
Prisoner for Jesus *

The Way is…..
St. John: Chapter 14 verse 6
Jesus answered,
“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No-one comes to The Father
except through me”
***
No other religion anywhere can go to God our Father in Heaven unless they accept Jesus Christ as Lord. We must invite Jesus into our hearts for our own spirit in us to be Born Again into the Kingdom of God. I praise The Lord that I have done that, what about yourself, remember today is a good day, if you have not already done so.
Well that give us food for thought dosn’t it?
If you are not sure how to be Born Again into Gods Kingdom – well all you have to do is to say to God that you repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life.
That sounds very easy dosn’t it?
But you have to be sincere and really mean it. If you do, you may find that your addictions (if you have any) will start to be less important to you and you may have a lovely peace and contentment in your heart and life.
Also you can then look forward – knowing that when you leave this life you will go to be in Heaven with Jesus the Christ, God’s true Son.
That is really worth thinking about.
You do need to tell a Christian that you have taken this important step – because speaking out is an action of Faith and is a real confirmation that you are truly Born Again into the Kingdom of God.
Then you can start to Read The Holy Bible
(that is the Word of God)
May God Bless you
if you are making this important
committment today

Sheep without Blemish
Psalm 100 verse 3
Know that The LORD is God.
It is He who made us and we are His,
we are His people,
the sheep of His pasture.
*
It’s incredible to know that we have a Shepherd, who cares enough for us, that He sent His only Son Jesus to be slain on the Cross as a Sheep without blemish for our sins.
Let us try to be sheep without blemish.
Shall we start afresh today?
Taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’
***
Well the thing is – how do we become a Sheep without Blemish?
It seems most unlikely that we can ever be a Sheep without Blemish.
But – when we repent of our sins – surprise – surprise – Jesus forgives us and the Blemish of that or those sins that we repent of are washed away.
So that would be a Blemish gone.
– But Wait –
Are there more things we need to repent of so that we can be Blemish Free i.e. Do we have a sin of – Anger, Addiction, Vioence, Unholy thoughts, Gossip, Slander, Gluttony, Self Indulgence.
Well with all that to think about I may never be a Sheep without Blemish!
But there is hope – we must take one Day at a Time and rejoice that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour and He loves us Just as We Are.
However, I am sure that He hopes because we belong as Sheep in His fold (His Kingdom) we will try with His help to get rid of ungodly things.
*
So – * REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS *
Have a LOVELY Day Today
God Bless You & me for trying to be –
A Sheep without Blemish.

Worship The LORD
Psalm 96 verse 9
Worship The LORD
in the splendour of His holiness;
tremble before Him,
all the earth.
***
How can we ever imagine the spendour of His holiness: He must be so beautiful surrounded by glory and angels, singing and serving Him in Heaven.
No wonder the whole earth shall tremble before Him.
And yet He has given to us His Son Jesus, who intercedes for those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Saviour.
So we need never tremble in fear of God our Heavenly Father, we can worship Him in the splendour of His HOLINESS.
***
There must be mirades of Angels around the Throne of God – Praising Him and Singing.
Just think there must be a marvellous Heavenly Choir and glourious colours that we can only dream about, some that we have never envisaged or could imagine.
The brightness of God’s Glory must be so great that we cannot comprehend it. Remember that the face of Moses even glowed as he came down the mountain after talking with God. So much so that he had to cover his face as the people were afraid of the Glory of God that shone forth from him.
***
May God Bless us today and surround us with His Holy Angels.
Have a Lovely Day today.
* God Bless You *

Charm is deceptive
Proverbs: Chapter 31 verse 30
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting:
but a woman who fears The LORD
is to be praised.
*****
I like to think that this Scripture applies to all Mankind. We know that you are an awesome God. It is a Holy Fear that you want us to have, not that we should be frightened of you because you are the God of Love and in perfect love there is no fear. So if there is no deceit in our hearts then we may be praised and will be able to give to you all the Glory that you desire from us. So may my beauty be in knowing you today and forever more. Amen.
*****
The above is taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ of Heavenly Blessings straight from Gods Word in the Holy Bible.
Well what do you think about Charm?…..Some people are really Charming…..not just women but men also…. and I think that God likes to look into the hearts of all of us.
When we are walking in the love of Jesus, then our hearts will be free of fear and people will see the peace and beauty on our face.
We can be praised for the beauty that is within our hearts. As Christians – people will want to know what we have that they have not got. That will be praise indeed for us that we can give God the Glory knowing that our beauty whether we be man or woman is within us. (That Jesus is in our Heart)
So the outward appearance of ourselves (even though we keep ourselves nice) is not the be all and end all of things.
Our beauty needs to be on the inside so that it can radiate to those that The Lord brings before us each day.
…..
* Praise the Lord for His Goodness and Love towards us each Day.*

Nehemiah: Chapter 1 verse 10-11
Nehemiah: Chapter 1 verse 10 -11
They are your servants and your people,
whom you redeemed by your great strength
and your mighty hand.
O Lord,
let your ear be attentive
to the prayer of this your servant
and to the prayer of your servants
who delight in revering your name…………………….
***
Please hear my prayer today Lord God, I am one of your servants who delights in revering your name.
And I know that the Name of Jesus your Son is the Name above all names on this earth where are living now.
***
Let us think about what it means to be a Servant….. really none of us want to think that we are a Servant.
Jesus came as our Saviour, He showed us that we need to be Servants, remember how He washed the Disciples feet? Not only are we to serve others but that we need to obey God our Father in Heaven, in that way we can say we are servants of God.
To be servants of God- is obeying His commands and revering Jesus as our Lord, then He will hear our Prayers.
It is no good praying anything if we do not believe that God is real. If we do believe – then we can delight in the fact that our prayers however humble or desperate will be heard.
But – now this is the But.….we need to wait for God to answer them in the way that He thinks fit….not us wanting them answered right that minute. Sometime we have to wait and wait and think that He may not have heard us. Well, then some of us go off and do our own thing not waiting for the better time when God may answer in a very different way than we could have imagined.
Let us Pray today and learn to wait for God our Heavenly Father to answer in His good timing.
May God Bless our Prayers
