Each day is new and fresh, a new start to get things right.

Praise God, yesterday is gone, and we have a new start to follow Jesus and obey His word.
His mercies are new every morning. His grace is available for each day.

We can be so hard on ourselves when we mess up, but Jesus doesn't see the mess-up, He sees what we can and will be. He sees us as the finished product, pure and holy and righteous.

Just like Peter when he denied Jesus, Jesus turned and looked at Peter with those loving understanding eyes. Jesus saw Peter as he would be, not as he was at the moment, filled with fear, and regret that he realized that he wasn't as strong as he thought.

I use to sing a song at church that Joe Huges wrote, He was my Pastor in VA, who has now gone home to Jesus, the song was called "I saw Love"
The words are about when Peter denied Jesus, yet Peter saw the love in the eyes of Jesus as Jesus turned and looked at him.

You can Hear John Starnes sing it on You tube, John was a friend of Pastor Joe.

John13:37
Peter said to Him, "Lord why can I not follow You now?  I will lay down my life for Your sake."  Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?  Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.

Our mess ups are no surprise to our Lord.  God sees everything we do and say, yet there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.  We are being transformed by the renewing of our mind.

God will disciple us to help bring us to the place that He knows we are to be in life.
It is a good training, we all need discipline.
We have to be trained to walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16-17
I say then; Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

Beloved, take the hand of Jesus and walk with Him. Follow Him at all cost to your personal desires, have the desires of the Holy Spirit, to lift up Jesus our Lord.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you,

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
