SURRENDER

We cannot work our way into the kingdom of God nor can we work our way into receiving good things in our life.  Surrender your life to Jesus and get to know Him.  He is the light and life that we need for living for the Lord.  Jesus in us fulfills the first and greatest commandment for our life is hid Christ for God.  Let Jesus equip you to lead a Godly life.

TODAY

We are now creatures assigned to live in the moment.  Let us not fantasize about the future but instead deal with today in confidence of the Lord’s presence and His good intentions toward us.  Do not fear.  Walk in joy.  Jesus loves you.

MERCIFUL

O Lord you are merciful to me.  I am constantly going off course, denying your strength, abusing our relationship and yet you are still merciful to me.  Your grace is over abounding and your love is beyond anything that I can think or do.  Lord I am precious to you and I am so grateful.  Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.

10/08               Hebrews 10:17

17 Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.”

CLEANSED

The blood of Jesus cleanses me from all unrighteousness.  He bought me with a price.  He saved me from my former self creating me as a new self.  Now I have access to the Father and a life that is in right standing with God.  Jesus is Lord.  He is Lord of my life. 

10/07               Ephesians 1:7

HIS

Jesus paid the price to redeem me from my sinfulness and separation from the family of God.  Now I am forgiven.  I belong to Him.  I have become part of the Family of God.  No longer a slave to sin.  Jesus guides me daily.  He gives me wisdom, mercy, grace and understanding.  He is Lord. 

10/06               2 Corinthians 5:17

17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

NEW

In Christ I am a new person.  New heart.  New mind.  Power to break the chains of my sin.  All things are possible in Jesus and I belong to Him.  What I was cannot control what I am today.  What I am today is just the beginning of what I will be tomorrow.  Jesus is Lord of me.  Hallelujah.

RETURN

Where are you right now?  Are you struggling with a secret sin?  Return to the Lord.  Confess your sin and He will forgive you and walk with you to fix whatever needs fixing.  Turn back to the Lord, repent of your sin and walk with Jesus and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness.  Praise the Lord for He is righteous and loving and good.

REPENT

Oh Lord, I’ve done the wrong things.  Sin has a grip on me.  I want to change and by your power Lord I can.  I am no longer a slave to sin therefore help me as I change a lifestyle of selfishness and sinfulness.  I will change.  I will turn to you.  I surrender Lord, here’s my life use me.

CASE

I have no case.  Lord I am not innocent.  My desperate situation requires Jesus and His shed blood cleansing me from all unrighteousness.  I know this Lord and I am so grateful for my salvation.  Cleanse me of my sin and guide me as I seek to maintain a Godly lifestyle. 

10/02               1 John 1:9

9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

SIN

We need to clean up the sin we harbor in our life.  Stop sinning.  Change our ways.  Confess our sinful ways to Jesus.  Ask Him to forgive us and cleanse us.  Walk with Him.  Real simple.  I choose Jesus or I lose.  We cannot hold hands with the Devil and have a Godly life.
