The Perfect Medicine

The Word, God’s Message, The Medicine to change YOU from the inside out.  Once We accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and Jesus Christ enters Us, through The Holy Spirit, immediately We begin changing from the inside out.  Like a Spiritual Antibiotic, Jesus begins to change Us, from the inside out.  Like the flow of Spiritual Adrenaline, coursing through Our body.  We can feel His Overwhelming Energy, charge Us, like We have never felt before.  Our minds are beginning to be rewired, rewritten, with all kinds of new knowledge and desires.  The feeling of self-first, begins to melt away, replaced with God First, then others, before We think about ourselves.  We yearn to hear His Voice, read His Word, and share His Love, with every breath we take.  Our lives will never be the same, and We don’t want it to be.  A bright light, begins to burn, it overwhelms Our essence, exploding through arteries and veins, through Our skin.  YOU can hear it in Our voice, read it in Our words, see it in Our walk.  A Light that shines so brightly that YOU cannot help but feel it’s Love overwhelm YOU.    Your body is being changed down to the last cell, very last molecule, by The Lord God Almighty, Himself.  This is how God changes YOU, from the inside out.  Now, this Light can be diminished, when YOU stop listening, walk away from God’s Path for YOU.  But it’s definitely reignited when YOU return to His Path again.  When someone tells YOU, they are looking for a medicine that will make them feel, all warm inside, truly joyful to be alive. Ask them if they have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation?  When they say, no, tell them The Truth, about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, and how His Medicine He can give them, will never fade, unless they allow it too.  How God can overwhelm them, with His Love, that never changes, never fades, never forsakes them, ever.  I don’t know about YOU, but this is the medicine, I would not hesitate to take, in fact, I didn’t, and I have not regretted it, one single moment, and neither will YOU.  The Word, The Gospel, The Truth, about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, His Free Gift of Salvation, and the most important medicine, YOU will ever choose to take.  The question is, will YOU?

From One Layperson To Another

Jesus has a challenge for YOU, it’s quite simple.  Get out there and spread The Gospel.  Tell everyone YOU encounter, about God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Make it a point, to ask, at least one person, each day, if they have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  If they say, yes, then say something like, that’s great, that’s what I love to hear. 

However, if they say, no, ask them why not?  After their response, share with them about what accepting God’s Free Gift of Salvation, truly means.  The end result, is the assurance, the guarantee, to be in God’s Immediate Presence one day.  How can they have that assurance that guarantee?  Well, they must acknowledge that God Almighty, sent His Son, Jesus, The Christ, The Word, who took human form, to live on this Earth.  Jesus emptied Himself of Godly Powers.  That Jesus Christ, was tempted by sin, in All ways humanly possible, yet He never committed a sin.  Then Jesus Christ was Crucified, upon The Cross, for the sins of All Mankind, a blood sacrifice, for the remission or cleansing of sin, once for All.  On the third day, God Almighty raised Jesus, from the grave, Alive, that’s right, I said Alive.  They must admit that they are a sinner, and they don’t deserve God’s forgiveness.  There is nothing they can do, no amount of good deeds, they can perform, to earn His Forgiveness.  They ask God Almighty, for forgiveness, for the sin they commit.  They must repent or turn away from sin, and back towards God Almighty.  They ask that Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, come to live within them, and they willingly give Him, control over their lives.  They now live for Jesus Christ, and The Lord God Almighty, and seek to do Their bidding, every day.  Once they say a prayer to God Almighty, admitting and asking these things, it will be given to them.  Immediately, God Almighty, through His Son, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, will start changing them, from the inside out, to be more like Him, and less like the rest of Us.

Now, if they did say, yes, to your question, meaning they have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation, what next?  Well, tell them, God gives YOU tasks, Good Works to perform, and if YOU don’t perform them, no one will.  What if each person YOU encounter, it’s your responsibility, to share God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with each of them, and perhaps if YOU won’t tell them, no one will.  Have YOU thought about that?  That’s your Cross to bear, sounds like a huge responsibility doesn’t it?  Well, it is, so please don’t take it lightly or brush it off.  Explain to them, they are not to be pew warmers, meaning simply, go to Church, sit and listen to the message, then go home and do nothing more.  Each one of Us, Laypersons, Believers, have the equal responsibility of sharing about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with everyone We meet!

So, do YOU remember the challenge, Jesus asks of YOU?  Get out there and spread The Gospel.  Tell everyone YOU encounter, about God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Make it a point, to ask, at least one person, each day, if they have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  The more YOU do this, the easier it will be.  Remember, Jesus Christ is right there, to give YOU the words to say.  Sometimes YOU may just plant The Seed, making them think about it.  While someone else, may reap The Harvest, witnessing that person accept Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior, accepting His Free Gift of Salvation.  Now YOU know Jesus’ Challenge, the rest is up to YOU!  May Our God Bless YOU, in His Mighty Way, today, and every day.  Amen.

Something To Think About

If God Almighty saw, what YOU were doing, right now, would He be proud or disappointed.  If Jesus Christ saw, what YOU were doing, right now, would He, be proud or disappointed.  Well, I have got good or bad news for YOU, both of Them, are always watching YOU.  Have YOU ever thought about this?  Are YOU thinking about it, right now?  Well, YOU should, because like it or not, believe it or not, They are always watching YOU.  That’s right, as YOU sit here reading these very words, They are both watching YOU, intensively.  If YOU are a Believer, in God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, They are both watching YOU.  If YOU are a Yet-To-Be-Believer or a nonbeliever, in God’s Free Gift of Salvation, They are both watching YOU, obviously, for different reasons.  As a Believer, YOU have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and YOU have that assurance, that guarantee, to know YOU will be, in God’s Immediate Presence, one day.  As a Yet-To-Be-Believer, one day, YOU will accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  As a nonbeliever, unfortunately, this means, YOU will not accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  As a nonbeliever, does this mean, God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, are not watching YOU?  No, God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, are always watching YOU, to see how YOU affect the lives of others.  As a Yet-To-Be-Believer, does this mean, God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, are not watching YOU?  No, God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, are always watching YOU, to see how YOU affect others, but also to see what it will take, what kind of “wake up call”, it will take, for YOU, to finally accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  As a Believer, The Living Light of Jesus Christ, God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, especially, are watching YOU, to see if YOU truly shine Jesus’ Light upon the World.  Do YOU Love one another, do YOU Love the strangers YOU encounter?  Do YOU Love your enemies, which seek to harm and despise YOU?  Do YOU feed His Lambs, tend His Sheep, and feed His Sheep?  Do YOU share His Free Gift of Salvation, with family, friends, neighbors, strangers, and yes, your enemies, too?  Now, knowing this, that God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, are watching YOU, right now, would They be proud of YOU, and what you’re doing, or would They be disappointed, at what you’re doing?  Something to think about.

God, The Father, Appoints Jesus, The Son, Our High Priest

Jesus Christ spoke to His Disciples, to make some things clear

The Most Important Message

The Free Gift of Salvation, is The Most Important Message, that any of Us, can share with another person.  If YOU made a list of your family, and placed a checkmark next to those, who admitted that they have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation, would YOU be able to check off, All of them?  Or would YOU have to place an X next to the names, which YOU were uncertain about or that admitted they have chosen not to accept it?  Now, if YOU made a list of your friends, how many of them, would YOU be able to put a checkmark, by their names?  How about your Church Family, if YOU made a list of them, how many of them, would YOU put a checkmark, by their names?  Yes, I know, We cannot be certain, that each of them, has truly accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  That is between them and God Almighty, only He truly knows their hearts, so We have to accept them, by their word.  Think about those whose names YOU could not place a checkmark by, does it trouble your heart, trouble your Spirit/Soul, to know, they have not accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation?  That if something should happen to them, today, they would not be in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity?  Should The Lord Jesus Christ Return, today, their option of making this decision, would be gone, Forever!  Does this trouble your heart, your Spirit/Soul, down to its’ very core?  Well, it should, because it’s up to each of Us, to share about God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Beginning with Our families, then with Our friends, and with Our Church family.  But this is still not good enough, We must share it with Our neighbors, too.  Now, that We have a foundation, We remind each of them, this is their task, as well.  Finally, We can talk to strangers, share with them about God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Tell them, how having God in your lives, has changed YOU, from the inside out.  That God molds and changes YOU each day, to be more like Him, and less like the rest of Us.  He loves each of them so much, He wants them to be able to return to Him, to be in His Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  Once We accept His Free Gift, His Son, Jesus Christ, comes to live within Us, through The Holy Spirit.  There is no other feeling, on Earth, like having The Lord Jesus Christ, within YOU.  YOU yearn to serve God First, to put others first, to shine Jesus Christ’s Light, upon the World.  YOU want to shout, from the rooftops, that Jesus Christ Lives, and He wants each of them, to come to Him.  That accepting His Free Gift of Salvation, means admitting that they, like all of Us, are sinners, and they don’t deserve God’s Amazing Saving Grace.  That they know, Jesus Christ, does exist, He lived a sin free Life, and died upon The Cross, for All the sins of Mankind.  That God Almighty raised Him, from the grave, on the third day, and that after forty days, He ascended into Heaven, to sit at The Right Hand of God Almighty.  Finally, that Our High Priest, The Lord Jesus Christ, is Alive, today!  If they admit this, in their heart, and confess it, with their mouth, and sincerely Believe it, then they will be Saved!  They can have the guarantee, the confidence, to know, when they should die, or when Jesus Christ Returns, they will be, in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity!  Jesus Christ commanded that We, Love one another.  What better way to show this Love, than to share about God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  We Love Our families, We Love Our friends, We Love Our Church families, as well.  As commanded, We should also Love strangers, with just as much passion and compassion, perhaps, even more so.  The Free Gift of Salvation, is not something We can earn.  We cannot do enough good deeds, to earn this gift.  What is required to receive a gift?  To accept it, to take it, to tear it open, and see what’s inside!  A simple prayer, to God Almighty, sincerely spoken, and in less than one minute, less than sixty seconds, a person can go from, “I don’t know” to “I do know”!  What a wonderful God Almighty, We have.  God Loves Us so much, that He sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to die upon The Cross, to pay a debt, a blood sacrifice, for the remission or cleansing of sin, required by God Almighty.  Jesus Christ’s death, upon The Cross, died once, for the sins of All!  That means Our debt, Our death, has already been paid in full, by Jesus Christ.  Without Jesus Christ doing this, Our debt meant, Forever separation from God, meaning We could never be in God’s Immediate Presence, think about that.  Before We were ever born, Our debt, for Our sin, had already been, paid in full!  All We have to do, is to accept this gift, His Free Gift of Salvation, and We have the guarantee to be in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  If We turn down this gift, refuse it, turn away from it, then We acknowledge, that We will be, away from God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  This IS The Most Important Message, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, that We can ever share, with anyone!  So, think about your family, your friends, your Church family, and all the strangers out there, do YOU want each of them to be in God’s Immediate Presence, one day?  Well then, get up, and get out there, and tell everyone YOU know and see, about God’s Free Gift of Salvation!

Putting together an Umbrella Ministry

You know, I have thought about writing a book, and filling it with my poems, mini-Sermons, Sermons, Bible Studies, etc., but each time, I think, how few people would be willing or take the opportunity, to read it.  I see how many, do create and have published, their material, and wonder, how many will actually take the opportunity to read what they publish.

Let's look at it this way, if we had 100 writers, publish one book, and 100 people take the opportunity to read them, that's 10,000 people, heard their message, a Blessing, but a simple drop in the ocean, compared to how many people there are in the World.

What if, instead, they joined together, to create their own Ministry, of Christian Poems, mini-Sermons, Sermons, Bible Studies, Short Stories, Novels, Children's Books, etc. Under one umbrella, they should be able to reach, so many more.

Physical Books, e-Books, Videos, online Ministry, to name a few, could be made, and put together, under one umbrella.

This is what I had in mind, when I created "Simply, Follow Me", almost 2 years ago. Finding like-minded Christians, who were willing to share their God-given Spiritual Gifts and talents, to spread The Gospel, God's Free Gift of Salvation, with the World. A World full of Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, and yes, unbelievers.

Is this simply a "pipe-dream" (if you know what I mean)?
