His Open Arms-Jack Blake
Thursday, May 02, 2024Good Morning,
The foolishness of men of the world say in their hearts, there is no God. They boast in evil and wickedness, and with deceitful tongues they speak lies, and love evil more than good. And yet, God, out of His great love, still receives sinful man. He waits with open arms to take in all who will repent of their sins, confess Jesus as Gods beloved Son, and be buried with Him in baptism and rising up to walk in newness of life. We need to pray for the lost who have never known God, and those who have tasted of His goodness then turned back to the world. Pray they might see the error of their ways and come to Jesus before it is everlasting too late for their souls. Salvation is not found in the grave.
The Battle-Jack Blake
Wednesday, May 01, 2024Good Morning,
We begin the day on bended knee to give thanks to our God. Then we put on the whole armor of God and go out into this sin sick world where we may face many trials and temptations. Remember to take the sword of the Spirit,(God's word) with you and be readys to give an answer to all who might ask the reason for your faith. Place yourself under the mighty hand of God, and let your light shine brightly to reveal the beauty of Jesus in you.
Trust and Obey-Jack Blake
Tuesday, April 30, 2024Good Morning
Blessed be the Lord our God who blesses us every day with His lovingkindness, mercy, grace and all that is good. He is our refuge and our strength, a real help in times of trouble. ( Psalms 46.1). In Him alone is eternal life, without Him is death and eternal damnation.
Reading from Jeremiah 17.7; Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. Trust and obey Him for He is the rock of our salvation, His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (Psalm 119.105) Brethren and friends, God is our only hope. God gives and takes life as He chooses. We have life now, but no one knows when our last breath will be drawn.
Thanks for reading.
Remember from Whence You Came-Jack Blake
Monday, April 29, 2024Good Morning,
Where did we disciples come from? We came from living a life of vanity and pride. We came from a life of sin. We came from living in false religions, or no religion at all. We came from the snare of the devil. We have spent enough of our past lifetime away from God and doing the works of sin. Then we found the only one who was able to set us free. We found Jesus. We have crucified the flesh with its passions and desire and have been buried with Christ in baptism, and raised to walk in a new life. Walking by faith, we now live and walk in the Spirit. By the grace of God we are now His children. Let us glorify, praise, and bring honor to His holy name in all that we do.
God's Protection-Jack Blake
Saturday, April 27, 2024Good Morning,
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. (2 Corinthians 4.8-9). Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies. (Psalms 138.7). Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Galatians 6.9). Be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord. (Psalms 31.24). And let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. Thus says the Lord. (John 14.1).
Father, we thank you For Jesus and for Your word. Lord we know we are living now in evil, wicked, troubled times in this world. Be with us and help us to not grow weary in doing Your good works, Give us courage and strength to stand firm in the faith and contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. Steady us that we might always remain steadfast, immovable always abounding in your work Lord, for we know that Your work is not in vain. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN
