Many churches throughout the world march through their streets with Crosses and Banners. No matter where they are; no matter if it is truly dangerous, they courageously show their devotion to Jesus. We, in America, need to do the same, before it is too late!

Our Cross is our banner. Many of us wear it in plain site. When others who love Jesus see it, they are encouraged for they know that we believe in Jesus too.

Those of Jewish faith may be the target of evil today, but Christians will be the target tomorrow. “Be strong and of good courage”.

We need to share our faith, not run from it.

God will give us the Courage we need and He will give us Rest.

We just need to ask for it!

“I lift up my eyes to the hills.     From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. ” – Psalm 121: 1-2

So often when we pray we look down, but shouldn’t we be looking up?

For me, there has never been a time when God did not help me :). Through every hardship and during every tear, Jesus has walked with me. Loved me. And if I hit a patch where I could not keep walking, Jesus carried me 🙂

Call on Jesus, He will answer and carry you 🙂

So many of us fear death, but death is just the doorway to Heaven. A place so wonderful, it’s hard for us to even begin to picture it. But think about it, how would this knowledge, that death is just the doorway to Heaven, change us?

What if we truly stopped fearing death?

What if, we really, truly knew that as long as we are with Jesus, there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, to fear.

How would that knowledge and faith change us? Change the way we live?

Because if we believe it; it should!

It did for me 🙂

Thank you Jesus 🙂

Some people who I truly love asked me to speak about my relationship with Jesus. How God has always been there for me since the beginning, and how He is with me now 🙂

I can’t even begin to find the words to express how grateful I am to God.

Thank you God!

Heaven is where we finally meet our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  All of our questions are answered and we will come to know completely just how very much God loves us and we will truly come to understand just how Merciful God IS! And we will walk accross the meadow, holding Jesus’s hand and meet our Lord.

Heaven is the Garden of Eden and we will finally come home for all eternity.  And we will spend eternity in the place that we started.  We are not citizens of a country on earth; we are citizens of Heaven.

When we think of being loyal to a country on earth; our loyalty and obedience belongs to Jesus first. So in every decision we make; in every choice; we must put first things (Jesus) first and everything else second.

We will one day arrive in the Garden of Eden. There will be mountains that soar and tranquil valleys.  Gardens so stunningly beautiful, we can not even begin to imagine them.  Flowers that are so incredibly fragrant, we will be enraptured.  And the fruit that grows upon the trees will taste so astonishingly good, we will be transported. 

We will run as we have never run before.  We will dance and we will sing.  And we will walk in complete Peace, God’s Peace. God’s light will dance upon the river in a way that is so astonishingly beautiful that we will look upon it in awe.  And we will never thirst or be hungry again.

There will be no pain, because neither physical or emotional pain will exist.  And we will never, ever feel tired or rushed again.  We will never worry.  We will never fear, because there will be nothing to fear!

We will be filled with God’s Joy and Peace.  Always.

We will be able to pray for those we loved on earth, especially our families.  And although there is no marriage in Heaven, husbands and wives will be best friends 🙂

There will be hugs far deeper than the ones we experienced on earth.  Friendships that will be far more loving and compassionate than we have ever known.  We will experience Love far greater than we ever knew  or understood.

We will have everything we need to be happy. And we will never want for anything at all, because we are so deeply loved and finally home 🙂

And we will be filled with Joy and Peace always.  Thanks to God’s Great Love and Mercy 🙂

So many times, our courage fails us, but Jesus gives us the opportunity to share His Good News again, but how many times do we choose not too because we are afraid how the other person will react? How many times does a friend need our defense and support, but we walk the other way? We know from the Bible that the Jewish people are God’s Chosen People, but how many times have we failed to support them?

One would think that Jesus would be so angry with us! After all, He suffered so greatly on the Cross for us. But Jesus has such overwhelming Love and Compassion for us. He understands our fears and loves us anyway. And instead of being disgusted with our failures, Jesus just gives us even more opportunities to do what is right, and offers us His help.

Jesus can heal us so that we learn to Face our Fears and Follow Him, but we need to ask Him.

There can be no doubt that we face many difficult challenges in our lives. And sometimes it can feel that we are reaching the end of our rope. But if we listen to that still, small voice, we will know that God is whispering to us, “Come to me and I will give you Rest”. “I will give you Peace.”

Call on Jesus today! Let God give you Peace & Rest 🙂

Such a powerful statement; such a powerful reality. To think, Jesus SEES us. All the time.

Close your eyes for just a moment and picture Jesus standing right in front of you. And He knows your every joy, just as He knows your every heartbreak, and how busy your schedule is… And He loves you, right where you are. Just as you are.

And when we cry to Him, please help me. He hears us and He is with us.

May Jesus Bless you and all of those you love, always, and through you may Jesus Bless others 🙂

There is a song from Elohim that says: “I see the hurting, all around me, broken people, on my way, but it is easier to keep walking than choose to stay.”

In a time of war, broken people are everywhere.

In life there are always broken people. We see them everywhere, the grocery store, at work, in our neighborhoods…

In a war, you see them walking with vacant eyes. Their losses too much to bare. The death and destruction they’ve witnessed has broken their hearts.

All of these people need our time, a hug… They need to be loved like Jesus Loved us!

All we can do is Pray: Please Jesus, send me! In Jesus’s Name. Amen

Help us to shine Your light for others 🙂

“ Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105

Jesus, please help us to be kind, to be loving, to show Mercy, to every human being that we meet. Let us leave Judgement to you. And help us to pray for those who are unsaved-always!

In Jesus’s Name. Amen 🙂
