Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. Happy, Blessed New Year 2022! We are almost ready to begin the second month of this new year. How has your New Year been thus far? Did you make New Years Resolutions? Did you break any of them already? Mine has already had many challenges. Some heart wrenching, some not so much.
The phenomenal thing that I have noticed however, is that God has met my grief and pain related to losing many loved ones with His Peace that Passes understanding and His Comfort that Controls my otherwise out of control emotions. He has met my challenges and heartbreak almost instantaneously also. When left to my own emotions; I tend to be a person who mourns for a long time. I confess, I don’t do well with losing Loved Ones. I have really needed this type of deliverance. Praise God!! It allows me to be free to ‘be about my Father’s, (God’s) business’.
LUKE 2:49 AND HE, (JESUS) SAID TO THEM, “WHY DID YOU SEEK ME? DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S, (GOD’S) BUSINESS?” nkjv-(parentheses mine)
Dear LORD, Thank You for this time in this New Year to pray to You. We thank You for another year to spend with You, live for You, and be used by You to fulfill Your Will on this earth. Thank You for our families for those of us who have them. Thank You that You are always our family whether we have earthly families at this time in our lives or whether we do not.
Thank You that You comfort each one of us, (and sadly there are multitudes), who have lost loved ones to disease, tragedy, and to unrequited love. Thank You that You never, ever leave us nor forsake us and You send Your Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Comforter to heal and comfort us during our anguish.
Thank You that You Alone are the KING of kings and LORD of lords. You are the King of the world, the King of the Universe as well as Creator of the universe, and yet You know each one of us, Your creation, personally and intimately. Thank You that You protect us with Your angels.
Thank You that You protect those who are being persecuted and martyred for their steadfast belief in You LORD. Their only crime being that they want to share the Love of Christ Jesus and His Gospel with the whole world. Please surround them and their families LORD and protect them. God Bless 2022 please. God Bless America and Your World. We thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
JOHN 14:15-18 (JESUS SAID) IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. AND I WILL PRAY TO THE FATHER AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER HELPER THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER. THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, (HOLY SPIRIT/PARACLETE). WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES HIM NOR KNOWS HIM; BUT YOU KNOW HIM FOR HE DWELLS WITH YOU AND WILL BE IN YOU. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ORPHANS; I WILL COME TO YOU.
I wonder why anyone would choose not to do life with the LORD. Have you thought about what it means to accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior? Life doesn’t get any better than this. Honestly, I can tell you from experience. I most definitely spent many years of my life living contrary to God’s Will, and that lifestyle would have led me straight to Hell for ALL ETERNITY.
Thank God I chose to do this life’s journey with Him. Now when I die I get to spend my ETERNITY in Heaven with Him. I am not afraid to die. The moment I close my eyes here on earth; I then open them next in heaven because of what Jesus did at the Cross of Calvary when He was Crucified for my sins and took them away from me, and from you.
Jesus died in my place. He did that for you as well. What is keeping you from embracing life with Him? Are you deceived or confused by happenings in this world? Our lives on this earth are fleeting. Our lives are but vapors, we are simply sojourners here the Bible tells us. Then begins Eternity.
JOHN 4:14 WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY.
This is what God has planned for you and me and US in this New Year 2022:
ISAIAH 43:19 LISTEN CAREFULLY, I AM ABOUT TO DO A NEW THING, NOW IT WILL SPRING FORTH; WILL YOU NOT BE AWARE OF IT? I WILL EVEN PUT A ROAD IN THE WILDERNESS, RIVERS IN THE DESERT. (Amplified Bible)
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION. THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY; THE NEW HAS COME. (ESV)
LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23 THE STEADFAST LOVE OF THE LORD NEVER CEASES; HIS MERCIES NEVER COME TO AN END; THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING; GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS. (NKJV)
You can be a “New Creation” this year in 2022! In this uncertain, everchanging world and political and emotional climate, you can know that YOUR FUTURE is SAFE IN THE HANDS OF GOD. You can know that you are a “New Creation.” Your past has been covered by the Blood that Jesus Christ shed at the Cross for you. I know that I am very glad that I am not defined by my very sin filled past, and my past mistakes. (You can read about many of them in previous communications that I’ve had with you.)
I’ve been SET FREE!! You can be too!!
JOHN 8:36 THEREFORE IF THE SON, (JESUS), MAKES YOU FREE, YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
Please choose Jesus in 2022. We can all spend eternity together with our LORD!! Now go out and purchase yourselves a Bible in your preferred language. It would be great to first read the Book of John in the New Testament. Then when you have spent time with our LORD in His WORD, He will direct you to where you should continue your Bible reading.
It is all AMAZING. God’s WORD is Alive!! If you find that hard to believe; start reading, you will see. (Of course you can also get apps on your Smartphones, tablets and computers.) The thing is however in many other countries, the Bible has been banned and removed. If you don’t have your own “hard copies” of the Bible, and one day the Bibles are cancelled from the internet=then you wont have one. I have multiple Bibles in many translations. I love the New King James Version best. I have also buried some protected Bibles just in case the day comes when some evil ruler wants to destroy them.
Until we talk again, please remember that I love you and I am always praying for you. Most importantly, Jesus loves you. God bless and protect you and all of your generations.
