In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him, all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3. We are alive in Jesus Christ. He is the foundation of life. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind - John 1:4.
Without Jesus, there is no life. He is the only Way to the Father in Heaven. All things were created through Jesus. For by Him, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him - Colossians 1:16 NKJV.
When we journey through the scriptures, we learn that Jesus is all we need. And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst - John 6:35.
Jesus Conquered Death
I am He who lives and was dead and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death - Revelation 1:18. Jesus Christ is the only true God. He died and rose again to save the lost souls. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” - John 11: 25-26.
Conclusion
Many scriptures prove that Jesus Christ is the Life. Every person who chooses to follow Jesus and obey His Word has life. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life - John 6:47. We are Alive in Jesus! If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Today is a day of salvation. Surrender your life to Jesus, repent of your sins, and ask for God's forgiveness - (Romans 10:9).
What is the greatest blessing in life? When we talk about blessings, people quickly think about money, cars, status, and other material things. The things that are viewed as blessings in the world are perishable things that have no eternal value. The greatest blessing in life is not being the wealthiest person, or the most influential.
That does not mean we don’t need money and other things. There are things we need in this world but they are not worth sacrificing our souls. The Word of God tells us. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
The greatest blessing is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. We all have a choice to choose Jesus, every day. He died for our sins, He didn’t have to because He had no sin, yet He died for us the sinners. That’s the greatest love. For God so loved the world… - John 3:16 Nothing and no one can replace Jesus in your life. A relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the most fulfilling. Jesus makes you whole. You can have all you want in life and still feel empty, unhappy, and poor if you are without the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Giver of Life
God is the giver of life whether you believe in Jesus or not. But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us - Romans 5:8 The air we breathe in our bodies right now belongs to God. Hell is real and I don’t think anyone wants to go to hell. Hell was not prepared for people but for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).
God wants all people to be saved (2 Peter 3:9) but He can not force anyone to choose Jesus as their Lord and Savior. John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
You Have a Choice
If you had a choice to choose life or death today, what would you choose? I believe you would choose life. I don’t think there is any person who loves death. When we choose Jesus and become born again we choose life but when we don’t we choose death. It might not be an instant death the moment we reject Jesus, but the day will come for everyone to leave this world. Once you die and leave this world there is no turning back, you cannot accept Jesus after death, and the only destination you go to is hell.
Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon - Isaiah 55:6-7. He is coming back soon but as a Judge. We must get our lives in order before it’s too late.
Today you have a choice to choose Jesus. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved - Romans 10:9 If you repent of your sins and give your life to Jesus you receive the gift of salvation and become a child of God. The biggest mistake some people make is to wait and think they still have time. After they’ve heard the gospel they continue living in sin and allow their doubt to hold them back from accepting Jesus.
Salvation Prayer
If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior; please pray. Heavenly Father in Jesus name. Please forgive me for all my sins, I repent for all my iniquities and the iniquities of my ancestors (Leviticus 26:40). I break and cancel all evil covenants in my life. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God has raised Him from the dead. Please take me as your child and be my Lord and Savior. Please lead me to a church where I could be baptised, fill me with the Holy Spirit and teach me Your Word in Jesus name, I pray Amen.
The Word of God is powerful because it is God speaking and not man. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12 NKJV There is so much that we can say about the Word of God, we can’t cover it all in one Blog post.
All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 2 Timothy 3:16-AMP
God’s Word is like a life map or GPS to us. It gives us direction directly from the mouth of God. Without it, we would be so lost and deceived by the enemy. Hosea 4:6 AMP says; “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will]". The ignorance of the truth of God keeps us bound by the devices of Satan and leads to destruction.
God’s people must know His Word. We need the Word of God to build our faith in Christ. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17. Develop a habit of reading or listening to the Word of God every day. Just like our physical bodies need food and water, our spirit man needs the Word of God for growth. “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4
God’s Direction
I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you - Psalm 32:8 AMP. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJV. God’s Word is the ultimate wisdom we need to live in this life. We should always ask for the Holy Spirit to lead us. Jesus said in John 16:13 NKJV - However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.
The Word of God is a Weapon
The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit – Ephesians 6:17. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12 NKJV. The Word of God is a powerful weapon for deliverance against the forces of darkness.
How Jesus Defeated Satan
When the Lord Jesus was attacked by Satan in the wilderness He used the spoken Word of God (see Matthew 4:1-11) to defeat the tempter and deceiver. He quoted what is written in God’s word and was victorious over the enemy.
The battle in the mind
Speak the word of God when the enemy attacks your mind with evil thoughts, read it to yourself, or if you know it by heart speak it out loud. The Word of God is a perfect weapon to fight intrusive thoughts. Any thought that does not align with the truth of God should be cast down by speaking the Word of God to silence the lies of the enemy.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfareare not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled - 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV.
Testimony
I went through a difficult time in my life and I encountered the transformative power of the Word of God. Despite trying various solutions, nothing seemed to work. One day, I decided to pray to God alone and asked for help. God led me to read Deuteronomy 18: 9-14, and as I finished reading, I felt a heavy weight being lifted off me. It was a transformative deliverance experience that freed me from the influence of demonic spirits and ancestral worship. My body felt so free and light after that. This encounter marked the beginning of my life in Christ, and I found a local church through prayer and guidance from the Lord.
Conclusion
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - John 1:1. There is no other foundation we can build on but the Lord Jesus, who is the Word of God. May the Lord Jesus bless you.
Many testimonies prove that there is power in the blood of Jesus. The Word of God in Revelation 12:11 says, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
We must be forever grateful for what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross. The blood of Jesus was shed to reconcile man with God. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace – Ephesians 1:7.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith – Galatians 3:13-14.
The Overcoming Power in the Blood of Jesus
In the Old Testament, we see the foreshadowing of the power in the blood of Jesus. In Exodus 12:13, we know how the children of Israel applied the blood on their doorposts to prevent the angel of death from striking them. We also read about how the high priest used the blood of animals to sprinkle on the Most Holy Place for sanctification (Hebrews 9:1-28).
The name of Jesus is the most powerful, Romans 10:13 says, For “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The blood of Jesus is a powerful weapon that is available for God’s children for cleansing and deliverance. Pray and apply the blood of Jesus and secure victory over your battles. Jesus came up, and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me - Matthew 28:18-20 AMP.
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you – Luke 10:17-19.
Testimony
While in prayer one morning, I received a song about the Blood of Jesus. I then sang that song, and later that night, I had a spiritual attack in which I saw an enemy who had laid a trap for me. I kept reciting the words of that song, “Blood of Jesus cover me, Blood of Jesus fight for me,” and the trap turned around and caught the enemy, causing them to fall into their own trap. I give all the glory to the Lord Jesus; without Him, we are nothing.
If you were dying and had to get a blood transfusion done to save your life, would it matter which race or complexion of a person? Or would you accept the blood because it matches yours? Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins and to give us life through the gift of salvation.
Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” We are saved by grace, not by race or complexion. By His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), not by His Tribe. Some people argue and reject the Lord because of a lack of knowledge and understanding.
It is immature to argue about His race or complexion. 2 Timothy 2:23 AMP says; But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels.
If you are still arguing or are concerned about the Lord’s complexion. You might want to repent from racism, please pray if you are led to;
Prayer
I repent for the sin of racism. I renounce the spirit of racism. I renounce the spirit of anger, bitterness, and hatred. I repent for every racist comment I have ever made. I repent for engaging in any racist conversation. Father, please forgive me for my sins. Please fill my heart with your love and compassion and let me love and respect all people in Jesus' name.
Get your mind right; the Lord Jesus died for you, and He loves you. Jesus is coming back soon, get your house in order. Repent and believe in the Gospel (Mark 1:15)
We all face problems in our lives. Maybe you have tried everything to solve them and there is no turnaround. If the burdens of life are weighing you down, my advice is to turn to Jesus. Come to Jesus for help and He will give you rest.
Someone might say I'm born again I'm in Christ already but things are just getting worse. In this case, maybe you have to break some evil covenants and soul ties. Maybe you need deliverance from things of the past before your life in Christ. Yes, believers also need to go through deliverance. Sometimes people are told that once they come to Christ all things will automatically work which is not true. We have to break bondages. Ask for help from a true and Holy Spirit-filled deliverance minister. Alternatively get spiritual warfare prayers, fast, and pray for your deliverance. The Lord will help you. Jesus came to set the captives free - (Luke 4: 17-19).
You must be born again to experience total freedom from the bondage of the enemy.
In the Word of God we read that when life got hard for the prodigal son he had a change of mind. In Luke 15:17-24, he decided to return to his father's house because his life was there, his provision was there. Though we go through pain and many hard situations in this life the Lord Jesus will not force anyone to come to Him for help, you must decide for yourself to turn to Jesus. In Matthew 11:28 AMP Jesus says; “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. It is in Him that we find life. He is the only true God, and He is the only Way to God our Heavenly Father. No matter how hard your situation has been, no matter how bad you think you have sinned Jesus loves you and He only wants you to repent, to turn away from sin and receive His gift of salvation. He died on the cross for our sins to demonstrate His love for us. All we have to do is accept Him and obey His Word. We are alive in Jesus. It is hard to live this life without Jesus, those who are spiritually mature know that.
It's going to get harder living without Christ with everything that is unfolding in the world. The Lord wants His people to turn to Him and be saved by accepting Jesus as their Savior while there is still time. You have to decide to turn to Jesus, God will not force you. Choose today who you will serve and worship. If you'd like to give your life to Jesus please pray,
Lord Jesus please forgive me for my sins, I repent for all my iniquities and the iniquities of my ancestors (Leviticus 26:40). I break all evil and ancestral covenants in my life. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for my sins and rose again to be my living Savior. Please take me as your child and be my Lord and Savior. Please lead me to a church where I could be baptized, fill me with the Holy Spirit, and teach me your Word, in Jesus name, I pray Amen.
