Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

If Jesus is the center of your life, you have a testimony! It may not involve a radical lifestyle shift or a life and death situation, but what you have to share is important, and isn't finished! In today's message, Pastor Daniel will be encouraging you to share what Jesus has done in your life RIGHT NOW! It's true that some people won't receive it well, but God has always been by your side, so don't be afraid to tell of His goodness and mercy!

This may be surprising, but God isn’t Santa. You can’t send Him your wish list of blessings and demand He come through. That just isn’t His agenda at all! God wants to make you more like Jesus, and wants to use you to reach this lost world. Today Pastor Daniel will encourage you to let God do what He needs to in your life to sculpt you and your circumstances more into the image of His Son! Let Him give you the blessings He knows you NEED!

Trials in this life are inevitable, and Satan will attempt to use your feelings in those circumstances to twist things for his personal gain. He’ll tell you that you’re alone, that God doesn't care about you. Today Pastor Daniel will warn you not to let the enemy’s deceptions take root! If you believe Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, you’re NEVER alone! The Holy Spirit is with you always! He's your source of comfort and strength - you can rely on Him!

Pastor Daniel will tell you in today's message that as the return of Jesus draws nearer, you'll see an increase in the tragedies and disasters that strike the world. Don't be disheartened though – remember that the Bible has already warned you about this! As you long for Heaven and the end of the hardships of this world, remember also to be Jesus right here, right now! Show the hurting world around you how the hope of salvation can change lives!

The hardships in this world can take a toll on you. There's personal heartache and disasters around the world on the news – all of it makes you groan along with Creation for the day when Jesus will come back. Instead of getting distracted by all the chaos, Pastor Daniel will encourage you today to keep your heart focused on eternity! Be present where you are, but remember what's coming next – eternal life with the Savior of this broken world!

People around you will constantly try to tell you who you are. Your parents, friends, and even strangers form opinions about you, and if you're not careful, you can begin to define yourself by their standards. Today Pastor Daniel will tell you to forget what others have said about you – their definitions don't matter. The only thing that matters is who GOD says you are. You're His beloved child, welcomed into His family through the blood of Jesus!

You likely have some goals and dreams that you want to fulfill in your life. God does give you glimpses to your future by calling you to certain areas of ministry, to marriage and children, or some other eventual life that you can look forward to. However, that might not be where He wants you right here and now! Pastor Daniel will encourage you to be content in your current circumstances and do all you can for the Kingdom RIGHT NOW!

Being Jesus to the world around you isn't always easy. You'll face opposition and even complete rejection of your message. Pastor Daniel today wants to remind you that it's important to keep acting like Jesus, even when it's hard. You don't have to do it alone, though – ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His joy and peace, and let that be the strength you hold on to when you face resistance! Your representation of Christ might just change a life!

There's a lot of activities that are legal in this country, and available for you to participate in. However, as Pastor Daniel will remind you in today's message, these activities may not follow God's desires! As a believer and follower of Jesus, you're held to a higher standard, a set of morals and behaviors that honor your Savior and benefit you as well. These standards, found in the Bible, aren't forced on you by God – it's your choice to follow them!

Some Christians believe that once they’ve accepted Christ, they’re now perfect and can do no wrong. This isn’t true, and Pastor Daniel will explain why in today’s message. You're made righteous in God’s eyes when you confess your sins and accept Jesus gift of grace, but you're still human! You'll make mistakes, and you'll need forgiveness. Don’t let that discourage you though - take your failures to Jesus and allow Him to show you love!
