THE ARMS THAT HOLD YOU

PietaTo know that the arms of Christ wait for you
When life is over and your days are through
The joy of living, that will never cease
for this and only this gives peace.
Forgiveness and eternal life are of Him.

To say,’forgive me Lord’ is not a sin.
For He waits…
waits for all to come to Him.
He is the only thing that lasts;
He’s what brings together life that has past.

For in Him the journey becomes complete.
It is at His table we want to take a seat.
Only He can make this claim..
‘You are mine,
I call your name.’

Jesus, who lives etrnally,
waits to set our sins free.
For the crown of glory comes at lifes end
When Jesus says, ‘welcome, my friend!’
Because you took the time to say,’forgive me Lord for my sins I pray!’

Lost and Found

In the Book of James Chapter one verses 19-22

19)Keep this in mind, dear brothers.  Let every man be quick to hear, slow to anger;20)for a mans anger does not fulfill Gods justice.21)Strip away all that is filthy, every vicious excess. Humbly welcome  the word that has taken root in you, with its power to save you.22)Act on this word. If all you do is listen to it, you are deceiving yourselves.

 Matthew chapter 10 verses 38-39

 

39)”He who will not take up his cross and come after me is not worthy of me. 39)He who seeks only
himself brings himself to ruin, whereas he who brings himself to nought for me discovers who he is.” 

 

The above references are to enlighten the reader that to grow in Christ Jesus and application of the teachings of Jesus Christ daily are critical to grow in favor and faith of Jesus Christ.  Many profess Jesus Christ as Lord, and yet fail to implement His teachings. It is the desire of the writer to allow the reader a closer relationship to our risen Lord.

Christ’s Equal Opportunity!   So, you want to know Jesus, do you? Do you have time? To know Jesus takes time.  Jesus Christ is a person.  A person with a body stolen for the sake of mankind!  However, Christ dwells among us.  He waits for the invitation from each ‘heart’ walking.   Jesus does not opporate like Satan…whereby Satan enters the unprotected soul, and takes root.   Everyone of us is at risk!   Evil is Satan.  Satan wants your soul, and will have it without the ‘blood of Christ’ as your shield!  Truth is Jesus Christ!  To know Jesus Christ does not end with asking Jesus into your heart, it begins there.     Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega!   The distractions of this life are of Satan.   The greater the distractions in your life, the less time you have to pray.   This is evils way.   The communication breakdown we are living is of Satan.   Why because Christ is discipline and without discipline there is no Christ! He has rules.   Break the rules, pay the dues!  Like the world has rules, heaven has rules.  ‘On earth as it is in heaven’!   Jesus himself said it!  You can bank on it! If you are living ‘free will’ you are living in sin!  Sin is opposite of God!  Consider this:  As you work to achieve on earth, so must you work to achieve heaven.   There is nothing
free!    Ignorant is the person who chooses to ignore the truth!   Jesus Christ is truth!     Take note that it is written: Book of John Chapter 15 verses 9-17

9)”As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.  Live on in my love. 10)You will live in my love if you keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and live in his love. 11)All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.12)This is my commandment:Love one another as I have loved you.13)There is no greater love than this:to lay down ones life for one’s friends.14)you are my friends if you do what I command you.15)I no longer speak of you as slaves, for a slave does not know what  his master is about. Instead I call you friends,since I have made known  to you all I heard from my Father.16)It was not you who chose me, It was I who chose you to go forth and bear fruit.   Your fruit must endure, so that all you ask the Father in my name he will give you.17)The command I give you is this,  that you love one another.”

Against Dissenters

Romans Chapter 16 Verses 17-20
17)Brothers, I beg you to be on the watch against those who cause dissention and scandal,contrary to the teaching you have recieved. Avoid their company. 18)Such men serve, not Christ Our Lord, but their own bellies, and they decieve the simple-minded with smooth and flattering speech.19)Your obedience is know to all, and so I am delighted with you. I want you to be wise in regard to what is good and innocent of all evil. 20)Then the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

vengeance

In the book of Romans
Chapter 12 verses 17-21

Paul writes,  17)” Never repay injury with injury.   See that your conduct is honorable in the eyes of all. 18)If possible live peaceably with everyone. 19)Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; leave that to God’s wrath, for it is written:”‘vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” 20)But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; by doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head.” 21) Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.

TRUE WISDOM

Book of James Chapter 3 verse13-18

13)’If one of you is wise and understanding, let him show this in practice through a humility   filled with good sense. 14) Should you instead nurse bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, at least refrain from  arrogant and false claims against the truth. 15)Wisdom like this does not come from above.   It is earthbound, a kind of animal, even devilish, cunning. 16)Where there are jealousy and strife, there also are inconstancy and all kinds of vile behavior.17)Wisdom from above, by contrast, is first of all innocent. It is also peaceable, lenient, docile, rich in sympathy and the kindly deeds, that are its fruits, impartial and sincere. 18)The harvest of the justice is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.’

HELD ACCOUNTABLE

MALACHI CHAPTER 3 VERSE  19-21

19)’FOR LO, THE DAY IS COMING, BLAZING LIKE AN OVEN, WHEN ALL THE PROUD AND ALL THE EVILDOERS WILL BE STUBBLE, AND THE DAY THAT IS COMING WILL SET THEM ON FIRE, LEAVING THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR BRANCH, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.

20)’BUT FOR YOU WHO FEAR MY NAME, THERE WILL ARISE THE SUN OF JUSTICE WITH ITS HEALING RAYS; AND YOU WILL GAMBOL LIKE CALVES OUT OF THE STALL AND TREAD DOWN THE WICKED;

21)THEY WILL BECOME ASHES UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET, ON THE DAY I TAKE ACTION, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.

Wedge

Have you ever experienced the division between you and another?  Of  course you have! People are always trying to upstage themselves at the expense of another.   The experience is upsetting and causes feelings of animosity and ill will toward the offender.   This is evil in its truest form.  Why?   Because evil is about its desires at the expense of another. Unfortunately that other can be you or I.   When the act of division and ill will occur, it is essential to offer up a prayer   for the person offending.   Why?   Because this elevates the person praying to a state of grace with our Lord!   Then in turn the division will be brought forward to the embarrassment of the offender.  If not immediately, eventually.   The person who prays is the one blessed of God.   For God is peace.  He is perfection and through the love of His son Jesus Christ and His teachings we rise to a heightened spiritual realm.   Many gifts are of God,but few choose to experience the joy He bestows.   Increased spiritual awareness and understanding are manifest when we pray.   Unfortunately, when people bare ill will against their neighbor, they bring disharmony into their own life.   This causes a chain reaction.   The only way to stop this is through prayer.   For prayer is of God.  When we pray we are removing the ‘wedge’ and promoting peace.  That is why Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies.  Today we are living   in a life  of  retribution.  People are unaware they are doing more harm to themselves, than to the neighbor they originated the sin against!   This has caused a downward spiral.  To experience the elevated living God offers, we need to do the opposite of evil!  PRAY!

Father James McKenna said it best: ‘DO NOT LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING BE THE CAUSE OF YOU LOSING YOUR SOUL’!

IN THE BIBLE, BOOK OF GALATIANS CHAPTER 2 VERSE 21

21)”I will not treat God’s prescious gift as pointless. If justice is available through the law, then Christ died to no purpose!”

    Prayer

    Prayer is our connection to God. Without it, we are about ourselves, and God is second. Where prayer is, ‘grace’ is found. Where ‘grace’ is found, Peace abounds!
