Jesus is my Lord, God, & Savior

[turning2jesus]

We know that God cause all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 NASB)

Life Lesson:

On this side of heaven we may never understand how all things can work together for good for God's children. Though not all things we experience are in themselves pleasant or helpful-some of them are very painful-we are promised that God uses everything for our benefit. Therefore, we must have faith that He will turn our failures and hardships into opportunities for spiritual growth.

A MUST READ! ONE WAY TO HEAVEN!

A MUST READ! ONE WAY TO HEAVEN! Find a church that will not just make you feel good about yourself but find a church that will tell you the truth even if it means you will hear things you don't like. Some people are afraid to read the Word of God (The Bible) because of the fear of losing their freedom to do the things that they know will violate God Standards. Are you a good Person? Have you ever told a lie? What do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen anything? What do you call someone who steals? Have you ever look at someone with lust? Jesus said, "whoever looks to a woman/man to lust after her/him has committed adultery with her/him with his/her heart." (Matthew 5:28) Have you ever used God's name to curse? That's called blasphemy. "The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name." (Exodus 20:7) By your own admission you're a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, and an adulterer at heart. and that's just four of the ten commandments. Sin Isn't just doing things we shouldn't. It's also not doing the things we should. "Anyone who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." (James 4:17) There's more... Supposed we put a device in your brain that would record all your private thoughts for a week... and then play them on a movie screen for your friends and family to see. That would be embarrassing right? "God knows the secrets of the heart" (Psalm 44:21) Even if we sin just five times a day... In one year, that's 1,825 sins! If we live to be seventy, we've broken God's law over 127,000 times.  We have to answer for every sin on judgement day, when "each of us will give an account of himself/herself to God." (Romans 14:12) God is Holy, Righteous Judge. He hates sin! Jesus warned that God, in His wrath, will cast all who sin against Him into eternal fire "where there will be gnashing of teeth". (Matthew 13:42) HOW CAN ANYONE GET TO HEAVEN? There's only one way... If a SINLESS PERSON offered to take the punishment, then justice would be served and you could be free! God loves us so much, He sent His Son Jesus to suffer and die for our sins... Then He rose from the grave-defeating death! We can't earn eternal life. It is GOD's GIFT to all who humble themselves and come to Jesus. "Turn to God in repentance and have FAITH in the Lord Jesus" (Acts 20:21). He will forgive our sins and give us a new heart! "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) READ THE BIBLE AND OBEY IT. FIND A GOOD CHURCH TO HELP YOU GROW. AND TELL OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS! http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/turning2jesus/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Photography-Ministry-and-turning2Jesus-blog-update/141909912494197

"Therefore God gave them over in the lust of their heart to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them." (Romans 1:24 NASB)

"Therefore  God gave them over in the lust of their heart to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them." (Romans 1:24 NASB)

Life Lesson:

Too many people reject the truth because it interferes with their lifestyle. They participate in every forms of sin in an attempt to satisfy their needs, but all they are doing is moving further away from filling the empty void within them-what only the Lord can do. Even deeper emptiness, dissatisfaction, and hopelessness always result. Eventually, those transgressions takes over their lives and destroy them.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6 NASB)

Life Lesson:

It is no wonder that we feel apprehensive when we measure our troubles against our ability to handle them. Anxiety, however, disappears when we learn to take our concerns to God. He is the only One who has the power and wisdom to deal with every issue perfectly. This is why we stand tallest and strongest on our knees. When we are submitted to the One who always works in our best interest, we know we have absolutely nothing to fear.

namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:19-20 NASB)

Life Lesson: God created us to be united with Him in an intimate love relationship, and He has entrusted us with the task of telling the world what He has done to make it possible for everyone who has faith in Him to enjoy eternal life and an intimate relationship with Him. Through the Cross, we have the privilege of embracing and enjoying His loving presence forever. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 NASB)

As I was reading the Gospel of John Chapter 4 when Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman. In the Biblical times Jews and Samaritan are not allowed to have anything to do with each other, Because Jews believed that the Samaritans had been tainted by the pagan nations among them (read Deuteronomy 7:1-6, 2 Kings 17:24-31). But Jesus talked to her. Why? Because He never discriminates, rather, He wants all people to know Him and be saved.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 NASB)

Life Lesson:

Some people believe that because God does not want anyone to perish, He will not allow anyone to be condemned to hell. However, the Lord gave us the free will to either choose or reject the way He has provided for salvation. Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to save everyone, but John 3:18 tells us, "He who does not believe has been judge already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Do not waste your time start believing in Jesus!

Jesus wants all people to know Him and be saved. <3 Thanks be to God! by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

Jesus Christ was the True Reason for the Season! He redeemed us all from the debt of our sins that we can't pay on our own strength, no wealth big enough to pay for it but the Blood of a Perfect Sacrificial Lamb of God, Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ! Peace and God Bless ♥ http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. (Matthew 24:36 NLT)

If the World will end on 12/21/12 then it supposed to happen already in the other side of the world. Unless all parts of the world should be on 12/21/12 - So what is the exact hour that the whole world is on the same date? ;p This is just crazy talk because no one knows the time but the Creator Himself. Matthew 24:36 NLT “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3 NASB)

Life Lesson: Nothing ever escapes the notice of God, so nothing ever  surprises Him, He always has the right plans in place to accomplish precisely what He desires--for reward or for judgement. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

"Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, cease from your consideration of it . . . . For wealth certainly makes itself wings." (Proverbs 23:4,5 NASB)

Life Lesson: Does it seems like there is never enough money? That is the nature of wealth-no matter how much you accumulate, you will always want more. That's why Jesus said, "You cannot serve God and wealth" (Luke 16:13). When you focus your energy on gaining riches, you cannot focus your attention on your intimate relationship with the Lord. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. (Proverbs 8:13 NASB)

Life Lesson: As we grow spiritually, we gradually change our reaction to sin. At first, we struggle to stop ourselves from engaging in the evil behavior that we enjoy. However, we eventually grow to the point where we actually hate the evil behavior and no longer want to do it. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. (James 1:3 NASB)

Life Lesson: Whenever we face trials, we know one thing is absolutely true-God is producing something excellent in us. In fact, there are times He allows us to go without any earthly comfort so we will turn completely to Him and experience His joy, comfort, power, and assurance. In this way, He teaches us not to react to trials emotionally, but to respond with faith in His provision. When we learn this, we can endure anything because our character is strengthened and our focus is on Him, rather than our circumstances. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

[turning2jesus]

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, (James 1:2 NASB)

Life Lesson: There is nothing joyful about trials in and of themselves. The key to finding joy in adversity is where we place our focus. If we concentrate on our circumstances, we will become disheartened and discouraged. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we learn to rejoice in our difficulties, because God has promised to work through them to strengthen our faith, bring us into closer fellowship with Himself, and teach us endurance. by: Dr. Charles F. Stanley http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

[turning2jesus]

So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was grievous to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 2:17 NASB)

Life Lesson:

How many throughout history have conquered vast territories, built great works, written brilliant prose, earned immense riches, or won worldwide fame-only to end up hating life? Without God, life can't help but disappoint.

Great message last night from Pastor Gayle Erwin <3 It moved me in a way that I recall of how often I become self centered in my walk as a christian. I need to be Others Centered because in this way you are not sinning! There's only one person who is truly "Others Centered" who walked on this planet... and that person is Jesus Christ. He came down to earth as a man to serve and love others. "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28 NASB) Life Lesson: No one ever mistook Jesus for anything but a leader, and yet He came to serve. In fact, He performed the ultimate service by giving His life as the atonement for our sins so that we might have eternal life. There is only one way to heaven, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ and by acknowledging our sinfulness and need for forgiveness. Likewise when we lead, it should be as He did-In humility as a servant. Not to glorify ourselves, but to exalt the One who saved us. http://turning2jesus.tumblr.com/

Have you heard of the story of Zacchaeus during the time of Jesus? Zacchaeus is a rich and corrupt tax collector. I cried watching this animated video knowing all of us have a part of this real life story God has written before we are even conceived in the womb of our mother. The Lord has set us all apart for a good reason, whatever that is I'm sure it will be an amazing experience just to be part of this real life story that our creator has set for us.

The word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet of the nations." (Jeremiah 1:4-5 NIV)

"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
