The word for today is - Now !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Now !

 

Now, lets start off by thinking like God, concerning you. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18,See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.Rejoice evermore.Pray without ceasing.In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. We give you thanks this morning Lord!!! The word is telling us, to act just like Jesus. The word also says, when you are in Christ you are a new creation, the old way of thinking is dead. Read  2 Corinthians 5:17,Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. You have to get understanding that when Jesus died and was buried we were therefore buried with him. Read Romans 6:1-4,What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. So, start walking in your newness right now, a new way of thinking, a new way of seeing things, a new way of acting, and a new way of living. Something have to take place in your heart, there is a change produced in the renewing of your heart. You have to except Him first (Jesus) as your Lord and Savior of your life, right now. Not tomorrow or a year from now, for only God knows what tomorrow will bring, His one and only Son Jesus don't know. So, how is it that you think you know? Lets look at a ruler of the Jews,a man that was name Nicodemus,asking how can I be saved, He asked Jesus? Read John 3:1-3,There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Then Nicodemus, didn't understand that, so He asked another question, Jesus how can this be so? So Jesus answer's Him in John 3:4-6,Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. So, the same question some people are asking today,how can we be saved? Read 1 Peter 1:2-5,Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. So,God gives it, but through faith in Christ we can be and is saved from death. Thats His love for us,you see His Love endures forever. Read Psalm 118:1-10,O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. Trust in the word of God, its not my words, its the voice and sound of God. You have to believe in Him and His word, then you must speak it over your life, and believe it in your heart (not your mind), right now! Read Proverbs 23:7,For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you. Now get this in Proverbs 26:24-25,He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Wow, that is why God says I the Lord knows everyone's heart and thoughts. But I the Lord says, in Jeremiah 17:10,I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. In other words, I the Lord examine the mind, but I search the heart. Why, because what is in the heart of anyone, that is who you are !! You can not hide anything from God. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
