Blessed Assurance


Haven’t you heard people say; “I’m a good person, I’ve never stolen anything or intentionally hurt anyone. I’ve never killed anyone or anything bad like that.” Others have said; “Look, I go to church every Sunday and I read my Bible, I think I’ll be going to heaven.” Unfortunately, unless they tend to one very important detail they will never see heaven. Being a good person, reading our Bible and going to church every time the door is opened won’t get us into heaven! Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Only by making a commitment to personally accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior can we be sure of our eternal destiny in heaven.

There are many good, church-going people who lack this blessed assurance and their perspective of life is affected by this lacking. How can we experience the joy of the Lord if we are not sure of our salvation? How can we have salvation if we don’t completely trust in our Lord Jesus?

To have salvation we must trust Jesus, we must confess our sins to Him, ask His forgiveness, believe that He died on the cross, believe that He is the Son of God, and ask Him to come into our hearts changing us forever to be more like Himself.

You may wonder what does salvation have to do with healing? God through His grace and mercy may choose to heal those who have not accepted His Son for reasons that are His alone. He is a loving God! This life we live is very short; our bodies and health are not perfect; we all suffer from one thing or another. When we die as born-again Christians having invited Jesus into our hearts and confessed our sins to Him, when He comes again we will arise with Him to heaven with perfect bodies free from all disease, sorrow and pain! So, salvation I believe has everything to do with healing. Invite Him into your heart now; His healing is everlasting!

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...

I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
