DANCING IN THE SPIRIT
Let's do some dancing before the Lord today. I'm not suggestion out in the public, but were we live. As we dance let's sing praises to Jesus. I suspect most of the time Christians forget we're to live in the Joy of the Lord. Do we remember when David did it he was in the street and without underwear or so we are led to believe? His Joy was so great he "uncovered himself" in jubliation. Please don't do that unless you are seeking a jail ministry, only kidding. One way to begin, go before a mirror and look at yourself and say something like, "You know, Jesus loved you enough to take your sins upon Himself on the Cross. God loved you enough He drew you to Jesus by His Holy Spirit. Not only that, but at your new birth He had your name enrolled in the Book of Life. And don't forget God, has mercifully erased the record of your sins from the Books to be opened on Judgment Day and Bless Him, He forgot them too as He tossed them away as far east is from the west. Realize you are now His adopted child and will live in Heaven forever. Now rejoice daily in His incredible Amazing Grace that He has provided all of the above for you." Will we dance now in the Joy of our Master since He has redeemed us with the Blood of His Son. I love you Lord Jesus. Allow these words you've given me help those who are without a relationship to seek one today. Please pray for me. I love you folks.

WHO SAID YOU CAN’T GO TO HEAVEN
WHO SAID YOU CAN’T GO TO HEAVEN
One thing for sure, it wasn’t Almighty God. Did you know Jesus came to save sinners? We’ve all sinned and fallen short of His Glory but that can change in a few minutes. God requires us to become born again and it’s not complicated at all. He said He made the Gospel [Good News] simple to confound the wise. Now if you’re wise, this may be more difficult for you but definitely not impossible.
Jesus died on a cross at the command of His Father, Almighty God. Why, for He loves everyone and wants all of us to repent [turn away from sinning] and to receive Jesus into our hearts so He can adopt us into His family. God allowed Roman soldiers to whip Jesus with a terrible whip called a scourge that nearly killed Him before He died upon the cross. The wounds from the beating give us a place to look when we need healing in our bodies. He said, “By His stripes are you healed.” When Jesus died every sin, sickness and disease was upon His body. All God requires is we believe it.
Salvation faith isn’t common or ordinary instead it requires much more from us. God wants us to die to our will first and this is really difficult for some. Jesus is Lord which means the One who is God Emmanuel [or with us]. He isn’t someone whom we can argue with but the One whom we obey as we live daily in His care. To make it possible He’s given to us His Own Holy Spirit inside us. As we live in Him the things we read of Jesus doing in the Bible, we will do. I’ve seen the mighty works of God and in some cases been involved in them.
Will you surrender to Jesus today? There isn’t a single “good” reason not to for you were born to live eternally with Him. He tells us only a few will be saved. The fact you’ve read this far is proof to me you are one who can become a child of God. Please turn from all religion for it’s not of Him. Relationship is of Him and He wants you to have it so you can become a trusted and valuable servant for Him. Don’t turn Him down for if you do He can’t save you. The decision is always ours. He made His decision for you the same day you were conceived in your mom.
Right then He said, “I love you and I’m giving you gifts, talents and abilities which no one can take away from you. To prove they are from Me, I’m giving you finger prints that are yours alone.”
“Don’t doubt me for a second, look around and see my handiwork. I created it all for you to enjoy. Look up and see the Heavens above for this is where your future lies. The earth upon which you stand will be removed by a terrible fire. Everything on it will be destroyed not one thing will survive. In its place I’m going to recreate it in perfection. Then I’m going to lower down the great city, The New Jerusalem. You and I will live in it with all those who love Me. My city is 1500 miles cubed with streets of pure gold.”
“Your new body is already prepared for you and it is perfect and beautiful too. You will never hunger, thirst or suffer pain with Me. I will be all you need forever. Today is the day of salvation, please don’t refuse my offer. I paid a huge price for you by allowing my Son Jesus to die in your place. Understand His death was important for then I could raise Him back to life. His resurrection will be yours as you receive Him into your life. Many millions have before you and millions will afterwards. I want you to be My child today.”
In His service,
Capt. Ben Marler
