<span style="font-size: large;">Jesus not only promised eternal life. He promises to have a place all ready for you when you arrive. A place He has prepared just for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />John 14:2 (KJV)<br />2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">How amazing is that! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Live today as heirs to the kingdom. As those who have a place secured in heaven.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Believe on Jesus and these things are so.</span></div>

It's WOW Wednesday. Wow to think that the Creator of All knows your name, the number of hairs on your head, designed and purposed you for His good works. Wow to know that He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (Read Ephesians)<br />
Wow, this life is tough, but we have eternity with Him, in heaven, a place that knows no sorrows or tears. WOW<br />
If you know Jesus as your savior and Lord, share the WOW factor with someone today.<br />
<br />
<div>
Here is an awesome prayer to pray from the Apostle Paul. Isn't it amazing to think we can pray the same words that he prayed than 2000 years ago. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Ephesian 1:17-23<br /><br />17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:<div>
<br />18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,<br /><br />19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,<br /><br />20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,<br /><br />21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,<br /><br />23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.Patricia PacJac Carrollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125551283257404759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395105165952656277.post-89269811534424795802014-04-29T09:04:00.001-05:002014-04-29T09:07:22.156-05:00Blessed Assurance<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br />Blessed assurance Jesus is mine! Words from an old hymn written in 1873 by fanny Cosby. She was blind but saw with her heart and soul. <div>
<br />What is your heart and soul singing? What wonders of God has He lodged inside you to carry you through the day? Stop and listen today. Write it down. Sing it on your way home from work. Rejoice. Our God lives. Jesus is Alive forevermore !!!<br /><br />Sometimes we miss out by not singing some of the old hymns. <br /><br />Hebrews 10:22 KJV<a href="http://biblehub.com/kjv/hebrews/10.htm"></a><br /> Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.<br /><br /><br />Blessed Assurance Lyrics written by Fanny Cosby <br /><br />vs.1<br />Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!<br /> O what a foretaste of glory divine!<br /> Heir of salvation, purchase of God,<br /> Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.<br /><br />Refrain:<br /> This is my story, this is my song,<br /> praising my Savior all the day long;<br /> this is my story, this is my song,<br /> praising my Savior all the day long.<br /><br />vs.2<br /> Perfect submission, perfect delight!<br /> Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;<br /> Angels descending bring from above<br /> Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.<br /><br />Refrain</div>
<div>
<br />vs.3<br /> Perfect submission, all is at rest!<br /> I in my Savior am happy and blest,<br /> Watching and waiting, looking above,<br /> Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.<br /> (Refrain)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

It's Spring!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flowers giving the call that it's time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to grow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to come out of winter's grasp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to live!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to does Jesus give the call.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That Sunday morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the stone rolled away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Life overcame death</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who believe on Jesus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eternal life rules!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We follow the One</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The One who was alive, died, and yet now lives!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alive forever more</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The call is gone out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose this day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life or death!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My spirit within me is grieved today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have lost our bearings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our compass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without a revelation of Jesus in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the hearts of the people</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are undone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God knows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is not surprised</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
although I am sure He is saddened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But maybe it is to reinforce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in our minds that this is not our home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are citizens of heaven even now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we must live as citizens of heaven</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the Lord's work foremost in our mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abide in the Lord and let His word abide in you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pray that we stay above the ruckus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and cling to the pure Word of God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going about the Father's business</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not looking to the right or the left</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but to Him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As the world tumbles into chaos and those</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who think they have the answers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
conjure up their one world schemes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay close to Jesus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your soul is more valuable</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
than anything the world has to offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the psalms where it says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the nations make their plans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but God laughs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rejoice and Fear Not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Lord is with us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The real question is are we with Him.</div>

I was with a friend the other day</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The thought of how many books do we read</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how much preaching do we listen to,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how much do we research and study the things of God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
miss this simple commandment.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
ALL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hinges on this simple idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IF life were a flow chart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all problems would start with this sequence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is GOD First in your life?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If the answer is no, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go back to square one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thoughts, Attitudes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They set your day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Set your mood</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So how do you renew your mind?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God's word is truth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the world is constantly bombarding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our minds with lies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Contrary to God's word</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the world teaches to look out for yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sky is falling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FEAR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what does God's word say?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For every circumstance you find yourself in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Search the word of God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pray for His revelation and truth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And proclaim it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speak God's truth aloud </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and renew your mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your thoughts and attitude will follow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you will be transformed.</div>

Proverbs 15:1</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like angry storm clouds, angry words stir up a tempest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words are so proud</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
once they are let loose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is no calling them back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sound travels never stopping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our words go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and never stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scary thought if they are not righteous words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Bible says we will give account for every word we utter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Makes me want to put tape over my mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even more reason to know the Word of God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And speak His Words</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That will keep us out of trouble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His Word is true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
James 3:8-10</div>
<i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. </b></i></div>
<b><div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This verse is so powerful if we but put it into practice and ponder on its meaning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately how true it is. And it shouldn't be so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How quick derogatory words fly out of our mouths at the least provocation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And how seldom do words of kindness, encouragement, goodness, love and hope</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come forth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beef up your vocabulary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Find 10 good words you can say about or too others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even to those who we don't like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are some of mine:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Good</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Wonderful</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Delight</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Kind</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pleasant</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">My Pleasure</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Honor</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Encourage</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I applaud your...</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I appreciate </li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If the cares of life have dragged you down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stop, Look and Listen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps you have wandered from the paths of righteousness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps you are missing what He has for you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Lord is good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And His desire is good toward you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there is an enemy and our own lust for the world</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That take us down paths away from the Lord</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guard your steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And take a fresh breath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day is new</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seek what He has for you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be blessed and a blessing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Some ask how can bad things happen to good people.</div>

IT is a result of the the first man's unwise choice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, many would say that truth is relative and there are no absolutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that is absolutely not true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world we live in is full of examples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2+2=4 not five, not three.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say there are no absolutes is foolishness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if we are left up to the task of defining what truth is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then we are running on ignorance which leads to foolishness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is good. God is love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those are absolute truths.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do I know?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are in the Bible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Word of God is our guide. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His Word does not change because of public opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can count on it, trust it, know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Man is absolutely lost and condemned from birth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God did not leave us there though,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He provided a way back to fellowship with God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through belief in Jesus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are born again and given eternal life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is the absolute truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read the Word and find out the truth.</div>

In the beginning, God set the framework of our days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the evening and the morning, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He named day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And from the beginning, the Lord numbered our days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
knowing even the number of hairs on our heads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What comfort to know that we are known by Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Creator of all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knows you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How amazing is that. How wonderful and yet fearful that is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For He knows our coming and going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no place to hide from Him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No deeds are hidden from Him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because He knows us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to take the punishment of the Sin of the world upon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His sinless back and be nailed to a tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jesus took the curse to set us free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are known by Him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your deeds are known by Him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By Him You are set free from the curse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you believe on Jesus?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you know that He is the sinless Son of God?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you been washed by His blood?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seek Him while He may be found.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a framework</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A beginning and an end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seek the Lord now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While there is time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the door is yet open</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But only for a time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a framework. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be Wise and seek the Lord.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now.</div>
