Help from above-Jack Blake
Tuesday, November 19, 2024Good Morning, When the storms of life are raging deep inside, children of God, disciples of Christ, turn their eyes upon Jesus and turn the pages of His word where they find help from above with promise. For behold, God is our helper who has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind. To His servants the Lord has said; "fear not for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. I will never leave you nor forsake you." We trust in the Lord and obey His commandments and can say boldly, The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. Man cannot be trusted, help cannot be found in treasures or other worldly things. Help is found in no other than the Lord. Psalms 54.4; 2 Timothy 1.7; Isaiah 4.10;Hebrews 13.5-6.
The Eye is the Lamp of the Body-Jack Blake
Monday, November 18, 2024Good Morning, The lamp of the body is the eye according to the scriptures. If the eye is good the whole body is filled with light. If the eye is bad the whole body is filled with darkness. If the light in us is darkness, how great is that darkness? Turn your eyes upon Jesus and His cross and let the light of His word so shine that others will see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven. Matthew 6.22-23; Matthew 5.16; Luke 11.34-36.
Jesus is Coming-Jack Blake
Saturday, November 16, 2024Good Morning, Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day as long as it is called today, so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3.12-13. For it is appointed for man once to die, THEN COMES THE JUDGEMENT! So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin but to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 9.27-28. Let everyone who is godly pray to God in a time He may be found acknowledging our sins to him, and not try to hide our iniquities from Him, but confess our transgressions to Him. Psalms 32.5-6. Jesus is coming in the clouds one day soon, morning or night or noon, only God knows the hour. Until then we, need to prepare our hearts, know His commandments, and do them.
The Word, the Cross, the Gospel-Jack Blake
Friday, November 15, 2024Good Morning, The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1.18. AndI I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. Romans 1.16. God's grace which brings salvation has appeared to all men and teaches us to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present age, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. The Lord sets apart for Himself those who through obedience to His word are godly, those who love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind and those who are strong and courageous, take up their cross daily and follow Him. It is by way of the cross that leads us to our heavenly, eternal home. So seek you first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and meditate on His word which is true, just, pure, lovely and of good report and remain faithful to Him until death and you will recvive the crown of life. Revelation 2.10. God wishes none to perish but that all men everywhere would repent and come to Him. We owe our life to Him, He gave His life for us.
My Heart, my Heart, my God-Jack Blake
Thursday, November 14, 2024Good Morning, According to the scriptures, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness and blasphemies. Matthew 15.9. Man's heart reveals the man. Proverbs 27.19; For as a man thinks in his heart so is he. If we allow Satan, and not God to rule in our hearts we will most certainly stray from God's ways and our hearts will be hardened against Him. Oh, my God, create in me a clean heart; renew a steadfast spirit within me; search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the Way everlasting. My heart, my heart, my God, yearns for You and Your righteous ways. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN, AMEN. Psalms 139.23,24.
