THE LIVING GOD REDEEMER

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Barbara Jones

The Latin word redimere means to buy back or repurchase which signifies ownership by the #redeemer. The Bible speaks of redemption throughout the Old and New Testament which is not through a #coupon at a local store, but through the #blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. How can that be? He paid the price for our sins and repurchased us. “IN CHRIST WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR TRESPASSES, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE” Eph 1:7 “Jesus gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.” Gal.1:4 “The LORD REDEEMS THE SOUL OF HIS SERVANTS and none of them that trust in Him shall be condemned” Ps.34;22 “Into God’s hand I commit my spirit, Thou has REDEEMED ME, O LORD GOD OF TRUTH” Ps.31:5 Years ago we had coupon/stamp redemption centers where you went to claim your purchase with stamps. They no longer exist, but I pray you will claim your saving redemption in Jesus Christ today. “Looking for that blessed hope, and glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us that HE MIGHT REDEEM US from all iniquity, and purify us unto Himself” Titus2:13,14 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God having been justified freely by HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS” Rom.3:23,24 The LIVING GOD IS AN ETERNAL REDEEMER. Heb.9:12

THE LIVING GOD CLEANSES

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Barbara Jones

#Cleanses are offered for all kinds of #impurities. Have you ever put on a face mask to remove clogged pores? Maybe you have tried a hot sauna to sweat out #toxins. Then there are liquid drainers which remove intrusive substances from internal organs such as the liver and kidneys. A warm bath or shower restores us all not only to feel better about ourselves, but it makes others more pleased with our company! We all need cleansing of our bodies, but securing a deep cleanse of our soul is impossible on our own. You pay many $$ for the spa treatment that uses white or blue lights for purifying your body; however, Jesus Christ has prepaid your cleansing if you only claim it. “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we walk in the light, as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we admit our sins GOD is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and GOD WILL CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” 1John1:7-9 Ask for the deep cleanse today!

THE LIVING GOD IS FAITHFUL

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Barbara Jones

The word #FAITHFUL is defined in Webster’s dictionary as “firm in adherence to promises and true in affection or allegiance being worthy of trust.” That sounds like what todays society would desire from others, but hard to adhere to on their behalf. GOD does not change His word to suit the flavor of the day. He is true to His Word. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever and He said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews13:5,8 Now you may have a dog that almost fits that picture of faithfulness; however, people seldom do. Do you need a listening ear or a call today? “FAITHFUL IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT CALLS YOU AND HE WILL DO IT” 1Thess.5:24 Will you answer? “THE LORD IS FAITHFUL HE WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM EVIL” 11Thess.3:3 In Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know that the LORD GOD, HE IS GOD, THE FAITHFUL GOD who keeps covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations” God preserves….“O love the LORD..for the LORD preserves the faithful be of good cheer for He will strengthen your heart – all who hope in Him” Ps.31:23,24 Are you listening to God’s Word? “GOD IS FAITHFUL, YOU ARE CALLED UNTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD” 1Corth 1:9 He has your # will you answer?

THE LIVING GOD LEADS

Whose #lead do you follow? Everyone brags about having so many #followers on #line, but I never hear how many that they follow. Personally, I have needed a guide to follow throughout my journey of life. I have had cross roads, steep hills, bumpy paths, high waters, and dead ends on my travels where guidance is necessary. Thankfully I have known the guide who knows the right path from beginning to the end. “God is forever and ever: GOD WILL BE OUR GUIDE EVEN UNTO DEATH” PS.48:14 Will you listen to your guide and follow His lead?.. “LORD SAID, ‘I AMTHE LORD THY GOD WHO LEADS YOU BY THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD GO.” Isaiah48:17 “The LORD LEADS ME BESIDE STILL WATERS..HE LEADS ME IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE” PS.23 “O LORD…LEAD ME AND GUIDE ME pull me out of the NET that they have delivered privately for me: for Thou are my strength.”Ps.31:3,4 Who or what are you following on the net? “Search me O GOD, know my heart try me, and know my thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me, and LEAD ME IN THE WAY EVERLASTING.” Ps.139:23,24 God leads, but will you follow?

THE LIVING GOD HEALS

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Barbara Jones

What #heals you when you are #sick? Do you run to the #medicine cabinet to grab an aspirin or drive to the nearest urgent care center? You may even have your #doctor on speed dial. News informs all of us about the latest outbreak of diseases and reminds everyone to get flu shots and vaccines. I seem to observe more sicknesses, disabilities , and addictions with every passing year. I ask, “Is a pill or shot healing or killing?” I know that is a two edged sword. I am thankful for the Indian medicine man finding the source for aspirin as well as the many cures made possible through research; however, be aware of side effects. I am privileged to know the Great Physician who truly heals. Read Luke 5:31 where Jesus said,“They that are healthy do not need a physician; but they that are sick” How long has it been since you consulted with Him or read His Word? “Jesus went about all Galilee teaching…., preaching…., and HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS and all manner of DISEASE among the people. They brought unto Him all sick people with various diseases having palsy, and even those who were possessed with demons and insane, and JESUS HEALED THEM”Matt.4:23,24 In your distress have you called on the Lord, Jesus Christ? “Jesus said, ‘I WILL COME AND HEAL” Matt.8:7 Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me, THE LIVING GOD TO HEAL the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering sight to the blind to set at liberty those who are bruised.” Luke 4:18 After reading what Jesus said, would you like to join Jeremiah in saying….“Heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed, save me, and I shall be saved for thou art my praise.” Jer.17:14

THE LIVING GOD DIRECTS

Posted on July 18, 2019 by Barbara Jones

From whom are you receiving #direct instruction? Do you want to follow in the steps of the #achiever, the #athlete, the movie #star, the #physician, the #intellect, the #media/internet or whoever? I am observing many individuals stumbling in their path of living as they try to dull their senses with mind altering substances. All the while they are convinced that they will live life on their terms and direction. I see people falling out of reality and down the rabbit hole. They just do not want to acknowledge that the LIVING GOD DIRECTS. The Bible tells us so! Ps.119:15,“I will meditate on Thy teachings and have respect for Thy ways.” 37″Turn my eyes away from watching vanity and revive me in the LORD’S way” Time to turn our eyes upon Jesus and follow His instructions. Where do your eyes gaze? “Blessed are the undefiled in the way and who walk in the law of the LORD.”Ps 110:1 Airports have control towers from which an operator directs pilots on their landings (touch downs) and departures (take offs). God has His Heavenly view of all our goings and comings. “GOD DIRECTS BY HIS VOICE FROM HEAVEN…UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH” Job 37:3 Are we listening? Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart devises his way: but the LORD DIRECTS HIS STEPS” Will you follow? ***

JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIVING GOD

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Barbara Jones

Do you know #Jesus #Christ? Have you heard His name? Was it used in love or cursed? I am amazed at the verbiage used publicly today. While many words are banned or changed under the guise of politically correctness, I want to proclaim the name above all names before censorship of truth is obstructed. May I introduce JESUS CHRIST, the Word, the Life, the Light, the Son of GOD..and my SAVIOR. Would you like to know Him? “As many as receive Him, He gave power to become the sons of God if they believe on His name.” John1:12 Now Jesus spoke of eternal life in Jn.17 “Father, as thou has given me power over all flesh, that ETERNAL LIFE SHOULD BE GIVEN ....THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE SO THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHOM THOU HAS SENT.” When Peter was asked by Jesus who do you say that I am, he answered,”THE CHRIST OF GOD.” Luke5:20 “FOR THE FATHER HAS LIFE IN HIMSELF; SO HAS HE GIVEN TO THE SON TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF” John 5:26 Jesus said, and recorded in John 8:12 “I am the light of life” Don’t you want to walk holding Jesus’ hand as you go step by step in darkness each day letting Christ light your path? This promise Jesus has given us, “In Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Jn.16:33

THE LIVING GOD’S HEAVEN

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Barbara Jones

Look up^^^to the #heaven above! How long has it been since your gaze has been upward instead of downward? Everyone is so connected to their phone, iPad,TV, movies and other electronic devices that many cannot see what is above them. Most entertainment today centers around darkness rather than light and we pay for it.. Eventually that influence hurts, mares, and blinds societies. Look up^^^to heaven! “Have you not known: Have you not heard: Not told you from the beginning: Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth: IT IS GOD THAT SITS UPON THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH,….WHO STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS AS A CURTAIN TO SPREAD THEM OUT AS A TENT TO DWELL IN.“ISAIAH 40:21,22 Nehemiah recorded his words before the Lord 1:4,5 “I prayed before the GOD OF HEAVEN saying, ‘O LORD GOD OF HEAVEN, you are the great and majestic God who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love and obey Thy commandments.” Look up^^^Matthew 6:9,10 “Pray..OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN“ Look^^^ UP^^^There shall be signs in the sun, moon, stars, and the earth distressed nations with perplexity of seas and waves roaring…men fearing for the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall all see SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. When these things begin to come to pass then LOOK UP^^^ lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh (near).***
