Fight for Your Salvation

I have this question for you. have you ever asked yourself why you struggle with self-image, un-happiness, depression, love of money, and of yourself? why you struggle to sleep at night?

2 Timothy 3:1-5 says;

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Luke 21:11 says;

There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Ephesians 6:12;

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Jonah 1-17

Here we see the story of Jonah a prophet that Go call to give warning to the people at Nineveh. But he decided that he was going get up and run the opposite direction away from what God call him to do.

There is a lot of people right now running from God.

Do not say no to God your disobedience can land you in deep waters. literally Jonah end up in the belly of the wale.

after a few days of being in the wale he repented and choose to obey God (Jonah 2:1-10)

When we choose to disobey God the consequence of that disobedient can be devastating for us. It is way better to follow him. if that is the case why you keep saying no to God.

And even though Jonah still reluctant to do what God was telling him. He when and did it and it bring glory to God.

God’s perfect will will always prevail. That is if we choose to say yes to Him.

Colossians 1:10 says;

Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

What is God's Purpose in Your life?

There are several words I could use that depending on the generation you grew up in, you would know exactly what I mean. for example:

* I am trying to find myself.

* I want to find my destiny.

* Lord what is my calling?

* Lord do I have a purpose?

These are some of the statements I think some way or another we all have ask oursleves.

Know I want you to think about this verses and listen closely to that this verse say.

Genesis 1:27

Proverbs 20:5

Jeremiah 29:11

Ephesians 2:10

Let me ask you something or a few questions;

* Dos God have a purpose for you?

* Does God want me to know what my purpose is?

* Is it possible to go all the way through our life's not knowing our purpose?

I think the answer is yes to all of this questions.

1. You are made in God image according to what it we read. You know how powerful that is? He created many things, but when He create us he create us to His image. This is Powerful...

2. You were made in His image and with a purpose. it is up to you and I do go deep into the water and draw that purpose out.

3. God made us in His image with a purpsoeand for His purpose. We can keep looking around for other things. We can keep searching in other avenious. The reality is at some point we have to come to a stop and know our purpose in God.

God have call all of us for full time sercie to him. Paul say "whatever you do, do as if you are doing it for the Lord."

God will give you the right gift that arenecessary for what he ahs call you to do.

Introduction

Have you ever tried to get someone a gift, but you know this person has almost everything you can think of? You really don’t know what you can you possibly get them. You’re faced with the dilemma of - what can I get this person? and you feel frustrated not knowing what to do. At some point in our lives, I think we all have gone through this issue. Now let’s think for a moment about God’s gifts. Have you asked yourself, why haven’t I received the gifts that God has offered us? Or maybe, you just don’t understand how to get these gifts.

The good thing about Jesus, is that he makes sure all our needs are met. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, educated or uneducated. He sees us all as equal. No matter what your social status is, the one and most important thing you need to hear is that Christ died for all of our sins, and was raised from the dead. So, if you trust in Christ you can receive eternal life as a free gift. God’s desire for you is to have this gift of eternal life. The only way we receive eternal life is through Jesus Christ. This is what He says in John 14:6 “Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jesus tells Nicodemus, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” (John 3:3 NIV)

In John 4 we see the account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Jesus intentionally, and in a metaphorical expression shows her she needs living water, that only He can give. Jesus is speaking of spiritual “water” or life-giving water providing eternal life. It is the same message he was giving to Nicodemus, but in a different metaphor. We obtain this gift of eternal life from Him and through Him.

Jesus is the living water that can give you eternal life.

In John 4:10 Jesus was intentionally asking this Samaritan woman for some water. At that time, ones being Jewish and speaking in public to a Samaritan was not the norm. This was a way to stir up curiosity in this woman. Jesus intention was to break through those religious and cultural barricades. His purpose was to help her rewrite her story with a new intimate perception of God.  Today I want to stir up your curiosity and propose to you in this narrative the motivation for seeking and learning about the gift and the giver of Eternal Life.

The question at hand is: How can we get the Gift of Eternal Life?

* Realized the reward of knowing Jesus.

* Your reward: Eternal life.

When you come to Jesus he is as a spring of water that is “willing up to eternal

life.”

* Your Salvation: Knowing Jesus.

When you enter a personal relationship with Jesus and get to know him, both things and circumstances change. Your view on life changes. You no longer worry about your tomorrows. Your eyes are fixed on the giver of eternal life.

* All your needs will be met.

This Samaritan woman was trying to satisfy her needs. She had 5 prior husbands, and the one she was currently with, wasn’t her husband. She was trying to satisfy her needs. It wasn’t until she met Jesus, that things changed. He will meet all our needs, if we are willing to open our hearts.

 

* We just need to ask for it.

                        “Jesus answered her, “if you know the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10) How can we do it? When a person runs a marathon, they usually have people on the side of the road offering water. However, they get thirsty again after a few miles, causing them to ask for more water. The only difference between the physical run, in running a marathon and our run with Jesus is the Spiritual. God is a Spirit,

I know life can be stressful at time and it not eady doing the day-to-day things of life. At times we feel like the world is going to fall on us. I know I being there. However, 2 Corintians 4:16 say; "So we do not lose heart. Thoguht our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day."

This mean everyday is a new day there is hope.

James 5:16 say; "to confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed."

If you harming yourself in anyway it not to late to stop. Depression may be very real but doesn't have to be the end of your story. You have the power and God give you the authority to overcome.

A Revival for God's People: The same way David Provoke to Israel

Even though this is the old familiar story of David and Goliath.

We can see that Goliath was big and he was bad.

The army of Israelite was intimated by him. they were defeated before they ever went into battle. They had the God of all Creation there to fight with them, but they had no faith, and so they cowered down, defeated. And we know the rest of the story.

Most of us long to see a true revival break out and sweep this nation. But we have an enemy who wants everything to continue with business as usual. Most churches are so intimidated by the world that they just cower down to the world and its leader, the devil. They forget who their leader is and they're totally ineffective in the battle.

In this Podcast I touch on who our leader is. We need a few churches who will march into the battle with their faith resting in Jesus.

I want you to think about the job you have now or where you used to work.

Think about your first day on the job. Did somebody tell you what you were supposed to do? or did they just say, "Do whatever you want? You're not required to do anything." of course not. When people hire you, they have a specific job they want you to do. They have work that is required.

Isn't becoming a Christian the same way?

Shouldn't somebody tell us what it takes for us to become a Christian? many people today are asking the same question.

Here in this Podcast I want to share what you need to do to be accepted by Jesus.

Sometimes our lives feel like they're on spin cycle.

We get up in the morning.

we go to work.

We go Home.

We get up in the morning again.

We go to work.

We're making the same turns we've been making all our lives. We may feel like we have no true direction and no true purpose in life. its like we're just killing time until it's time to go home, our eternal home.

If that describes your Christian life, this Scripture may help you today.

Galatians 1:13-17

For those of us in the spin cycle, we can find some good news in this passage where Paul shares his story.

Enjoy this podcast and be bless.

United We Stand In Christ

As we face division in This Nation it is time for the community of Christian to rise up and come together as one body. To much division in this nation and noone is speaking about it. This nation is under spiritual attack and God is looking for an Army that will rise up and pray like never before.
