Everything Jesus does is based on perfect love for His creation!

Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are those who put their trust in Him. Psalm 2:11-12 NKJV

One day every head will bow and every knee bend before Jesus Christ!

I believe with my whole heart that every Word of God was given to us as an encouragement or exhortation to serve Jesus with fear and trembling!

I have heard people say, “You can’t just teach the love of God. That is telling people what they want to hear.” Or, “You can’t talk about heaven with talking about hell.” Some say, “When you share the gospel you should always start with the law.”

A ministry teaches the gospel must be shared in a very specific way or it may result in a false conversion. I am troubled by those statements. Salvation is not dependent on performance. The Holy Spirit opens blind eyes. We are saved through faith in Jesus!

Everything Jesus does is based on perfect love for His creation!

God judges sin. He punishes evil. He poured out His wrath in the past. He will pour it out in the future. God’s enemies will be held accountable. People who choose not to live in relationship with Jesus will spend eternity separated from His blessing and protection.

God has feelings and emotions. He gets angry. What angers Him the most? God is angered by things that hurt His people!

When anyone or anything opposes God people and angelic beings are influenced. One third of the angels followed Satan into rebellion against God. Unbelief spreads like deadly cancer on the earth. Spiritually blind people are leading each other into destruction.

God has a perfect plan for creation. He has a specific plan for each one of us. Woe to those who oppose the Lord. There will be no place to hide when God unleashes His wrath!

I could go on and on talking about the benefits of living with and for the Lord of Heaven and Earth. I will simply say this; everyone who chooses to love Jesus Christ will be blessed forever!

Love is not just an emotion. It is not just a choice. Love is an act of faith. Love is a person. His Name is Jesus!

You can choose to love Jesus today and throughout eternity. Let your love for God arise up to Him like a kiss upon His cheek!

Jesus loves you. He wants you to love Him!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Everything Jesus does is based on perfect love for His creation!
