Jesus cares for our young people! Check out Matthew 19:13-15:

"Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' And He laid His hands on them and departed from there."

1 Cor. 15:51-53


Behold I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

John 6:35 "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst."

Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.

Luke 21:25-28 " 'And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.' "

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

The first book of Corinthians talks about how all believers should be uniting and working together. It is found in chapter 12 and verses 12 through 20....

"For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members, yet one body."

How important it is that every Christian believer does what he/she can for the benefit of God's Kingdom!! Let's unite, shall we?!

Jesus can turn a little into a lot! Consider the case of feeding the five thousand:

"And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, 'Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.' But He said to them, 'You give them something to eat.' And they said, 'We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.' For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, 'Make them sit down in groups of fifty.' And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them." Luke 9:10-17

Amazing, isn't it?!

"What ever th Lord lay's on your heart"
Ok but this one is a little bit different because this is what I heard when I gave myself to Christ six weeks ago.

"Now I throw you two bricks into the dust, some would say all you have is two useless bricks but now you can say I have the beginings of building a new home"

This was an extremely profound expereince for me but I have realised that the bricks are my new faith and I can either build a home or a wall with them, It's up to me to do the rest. My life has done an amazing turn around and awesome things have been happening ever since.
I guess what that also means is that you are still responsible for your actions and can not blame or do wrong in the name of the Lord, You can not use God as an exscuse for your reason, the laws have already been set and it is the flesh that breaks them.

Sorry...sounds a bit serious doesn't it. Anyway I hope that anyone that has God new to their hearts like me can understand that once you start you have to keep working on it and dont be distracted by negative influence, just be distracted by the bible, the truth is not out there...it's in there.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
"that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
"And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others. Do not even the tax collectors do so?
"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

"And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see.
Now do not be stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yeld yourselves to the Lord; and enter the sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.
For if you return to the Lord, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

 

[Shalico2007]

John 6:37 "All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."
