Dear God in Heaven, this is my soapbox which you have given me. Indeed an awakening to clear my mind. Now, Lord, your words flow freely onto this paper with the help of Your Holy Spirit. Give me wisdom and boldness that I may send these words to all. This is Your gift to me that I write the words to bring any and everyone to Christ our Savior so that we will all be together after this life on earth. I am only part of the Body of Christ, but I am in that Body doing this as the works You give me. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray to God through the Holy Spirit. Amen
People, Men, and Women everywhere! These are the words I stand on. These are the words I believe the Lord wants me to say to you.
I love God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and I love all mankind as myself. I am not perfect, nor am I without sin. I, like all of us, “fall short of the Glory of God.” Only Jesus Christ was without sin. In his life, He always spoke the truth! He walked through the desert without food and fought temptations of all kinds from the devil for forty days and nights to prove the way that we, ourselves, should live in this corrupt land.
He also showed compassion to us as a healer to all. He heals us not only Spiritually but physically and mentally as well.
Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
How many of you are walking around in this fog of life, wondering what more is there? What purpose do I have? Where is the true comfort and joy in my life? Who should I talk to about my problems to achieve the right answers, and where do I go to escape this chaos? Who do I trust to ask about my innermost secrets, and why am I so depressed?????
On this soapbox, I stand with a Book, God’s Book of Truth and Answers. In John 3:16 and 17, it is written, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
You are all brothers and sisters to me! I pray that you take me seriously when you come to realize what has been written in truth about these words God gives you.
All your burdens can be taken away by admitting that God loves you in a way no one else can and that Jesus, indeed, died for you and me and then arose again so that you may have everlasting life.
God is one; He is also Jesus the Christ in the flesh, and He is the Holy Spirit. It is a trinity. We are examples of that when we received the Lord as our Savior. We ask God for the Holy Spirit, and then we are whole.
When we ask forgiveness for our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our Savior because of what he did, we are part of the body of Christ, and we ask the Lord for our spiritual gift that works within that body.
We all can and need to communicate with God. Yes, with God!
You see when Jesus died on the cross and said, “It is finished,” the “veil” that kept everyone except for Moses and the appointed Holy Priest from entering the place where God communicated to us at that time. The veil surrounding the Ark of the Covenant, made for God through Moses and the hands of the Israelites, was literally ripped down the middle from top to bottom. That signified that through the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, we can all pray and talk to God always and forever!
Romans 8:26, “Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
I want to address those who are feeling lost and dirty, those who took the wrong turn in life sinned, and feel so ashamed. I have been there! Some of us have a past that haunts or hurts, things they forgot and come back into our lives, even though, at one time or another were Born-again believers and followers of Jesus Christ.
What about us? What happens now? Are we worthy of God, or have we gone too far as to the Grace given us?
The answer to this is a resounding NO! NO! NO! When we came to Jesus and confessed our sins to Him and truly believed in Him as our Savior who died on the cross, sacrificing His sinless body for us by taking on our sin’s past, present, and future for all time with Him and victoriously being raised from the dead after three days, it was a done deal, you cannot leave Him, and He will never leave you.
In the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8. it speaks of the ones standing around this woman, ready to carry out the law of stoning her to death. The mosaic times called for this to be done. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were trying to test Jesus. When they put to the test what Mosaic law said to do, He proved that we are all sinners. At this moment, the statement Jesus spoke to them had to send shivers down the backs of all that stood there with rocks in their hands.
John 8:4-9, “They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
We can never be separated from God through Jesus Christ, our Savior! Whatever you or I have done past, present, or now, He is still with us and waiting for you to ask forgiveness for whatever you or I have done.
