Nothing will satisfy your soul the way God’s love does!

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world. John 11:25-27 NKJV

Do you believe Jesus’ words? Do you believe Jesus is who He claims to be? Are you convinced He is the Son of God? Do you have an unshakable conviction that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world? Why do you believe?

It is important to have answers when people ask us about our faith in Jesus. It is important to remember why we trust Jesus with our lives. We should be able to explain why we love Jesus!

The Lord is not offended when we ask questions. He is not angered when we seek answers. He is not keeping secrets from us.

Jesus is calling us into relationship with Him. The devil the current world system and our fleshly desires draw us away from Christ!

I heard A bible teacher use the term; the theory of comparative advantage. It is a phrase used by people in marketing. A comparative advantage is something a product or service offers that is superior to a competitor’s product or service.

Jesus is not a product. He has no competition. But what is the competitive advantage of living in relationship with Jesus? What is the competitive advantage of living for Jesus?

Should we serve the Lord because He will not allow us to get sick or injured? Should we worship Jesus because He will make us rich and famous? Should we trust Jesus because we will never suffer trials and hardship? Why should we receive and return God’s love?

The Lord has made many promises to us. The greatest of them is His promise to love us. God desires our worship and our praise. He wants our obedience and devotion. God desires our love above all things!

We were created to love God and be loved by Him. No other relationship way of life false religion or manmade thing will satisfy our souls the way God’s love does!

Are you are struggling in your walk of faith? Is your heart heavy? Are you carrying a burden that too is too heavy for you to endure? Turn to the one who loves you perfectly and whose love completes you. Let Jesus carry your burdens!

God will reward you with the true riches of His Kingdom. He will reward you with blessings that are incorruptible and beyond the reach of anything that would draw you away from Christ!

Believe the words that were spoken by Jesus. Believe every word in the bible. Jesus’ words were spoken to you and for you. The bible is full of God’s promises to love you!

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!

Nothing will satisfy your soul the way God’s love does!
