Pray-ing

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil. Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 (NLT)

Good people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they die. Isaiah 57:1-2 (NLT)

Wishing all a blessed Pentecost and encouraging you to reach out in faith to the Holy Spirit and that you may be filled with Him! “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve …

But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life. 1 Cor. 15:20-22 NLT

The Resurrection Power is an awesome gift from the Lord. By accepting the ultimate sacrifice of Christ Jesus, you too can be granted this special gift, as you’ll be accepted as His child.

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside privately and told them what was going to happen to him.“Listen,” he said, “we’re going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die.Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with a whip, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead.” Matthew 20:17-19 NLT

Jesus is the reason for the season

People celebrate Christmas as the feast of light, the days getting longer again, on their way to Spring and Summer. Little do they know, let alone realise, that the true Light is to be found in Jesus Christ, the Light that came into the world to save mankind and reconcile them with God.

There’s no other name than Jesus by which man can obtain true salvation and peace!

In your Christmas Celebrations, whether alone or with others, bear in mind the true reason for this festive season: God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (Jhn 3:16 NIV)
