HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY YOU ARE STILL HERE (AFTER BEING BORN AGAIN)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY YOU ARE STILL HERE (AFTER BEING BORN AGAIN?) MY ADVICE: Ask Jesus (on your knees in prayer) and afterwards I'd bet my boat your life with "take off" as never before if you will obey Him in everything. Most folks are still grounded not realizing that once Jesus is alive [in us] we are only "passing through now". We've been secured in God's incredible love and our names are in His "small" Book of Life. At last we are FREE to do all that God planned for us, something impossible before. He's allowed me, as His vessel, to see wonderful miracles and some that occured long ago are still exciting for me as I write now. Just yesterday at Walmart I saw an older woman sitting and waiting on her husband. I stopped and spoke with her after a couple of minutes I learned she has a rare eye disease. The center of her pupil is deteriorating. I said, May I pray for you, she said, "yes" but indicated she wanted me to do it later. At my age there may not be a later so I simply placed my hand on her shoulder and said, Lord Jesus, thank you for healing her eyes. [One day He healed a woman's heart that was facing surgery after saying the same words except I said heart instead of eyes.] Did He heal them immediately? I don't know but I know this "encounter" with her was set up by Almighty God my Heavenly Father before He created the Universe. For me it was an Ephesians 2:10 moment. I never pass one up. I gave her my "If Jesus came today" handout which has my address etc. Honestly, I expect to hear from her telling me of God's faithfulness to heal her eyes. He has great Joy in healing folks. Each lash from the scourge secured healing for us who will trust Him for it. Look at Jesus in the scriptures that tells us "He healed all who came to Him". He's done it for me more than once. Thank You Jesus for suffering so much for me. Do you see why I believe I'm still here after my born again [experience] 42 years ago as of 5/23 in 1971. I know in my heart He still has things for me like this or I would have already heard His Voice, "Ben come up here". If you still haven't surrendered your life to Jesus so He can give you His and become born again, will you do it now? I love you folks. Please pray much more for me. Shalom.

WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK?

Many who call themselves Christians are not doing the "works" God prepared for them. Therefore they lack His Joy in their lives. He said, "I want my Joy to be your Joy". This can be changed very fast [if] we're willing to believe what Jesus says. We are more than conquerers over anything when we live in Him. Why? Well, didn't He win for us our eternal life with His sacrificial death on the cross? Did He not rise from the dead and by so doing proclaim God's love is extended to those who believe He did? Of course, so when we are [born again] of His Holy Spirit who now lives [in us] what in the world are we to fear? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Satan looks for weaknesses and it seems all of us have at least one or more. I suspect he uses our "fear" [of most anything] against us like a robber who steals our belongings. If you are one who says, "I'm claustophobic" aren't you permitting the devil to keep you in his power? You bet, and today you can be set free. Go for it! The Bible tells us to resist the devil and he will flee from us. Are you willing to do that? Isn't Jesus Greater, who is in us [after being born again], than all the devils Satan has? Of course! So, the next time you are fearful about ANYTHING stand your ground in Jesus. Tell this hateful and disarming [spirit of fear] to go where Jesus sends you and go FAST. Trust me, it will go for God's holy angels will see to it. I love you folks. Please cover me in prayer for soon I will be lifting Jesus above my head where He will draw all men [women too] to Himself. Shalom

WHY DOES GOD LOVE US

WHY DOES GOD LOVE US: There are lots of reasons but none tops the fact He wants us to be His child and will use His Amazing Grace to add us to His family. John 1:12 When He was forming us in our moms, He endowed us [like everyone else] with gifts, talents and abilities to bring HIM GLORY. Not everyone will, but it's not because they couldn't. BTW, we aren't supposed to measure ourselves against other people. We are all unique, and like athletes we should just look for improvement in our own bodies and spiritual growth. Believe me, He loves you as much as anyone on the planet, or anyone who once lived on earth. NEVER FORGET THIS. He's not mad at you, possibly disappointed, especially if you are disappointed in yourself. Give Jesus a chance to give you a brand new life. Do you want one? Whatever you do, don't see Him like another human being no matter how Christ like they are. Jesus is Emmanuel, Almighty God, with the Father and the Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit comes inside us at our becoming born again so we can be one with Him. Are you willing? I'm praying many who have religion as I did for nearly 33 years will SURRENDER TO HIS LORDSHIP RIGHT NOW. Please do it now. No one knows the future but Him. I love you folks. Please keep praying for I'm still breathing for a while longer. Shalom. [captben61.blogspot.com\
