The KEYS To SALVATION

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38 KJV)

Having the KEYS to SALVATION is listed in the verse above:
1. Repent   2. Be baptized  everyone of you in the name of JESUS CHRIST and ye shall  3. Receive the GIFT of the HOLY GHOST. These KEYS give us the opportunity daily to say yes to Jesus. This starts the beginning of a new life so that we can make it into the Kingdom that awaits us. If we go around with sinful hearts and having the desires that sin offers us, we can cause ourselves to miss the Kingdom of God. We must have a heart of repentance and be washed in the name of Jesus. If anything keeps us out of heaven it will be ourselves. When Jesus was teaching his disciples He was giving them the Keys to Salvation.
That is what the word of God offers us. The word offers us the wisdom and knowledge so that we can apply it to our daily lives. We have to stop trying to take detours in our Christian walk as this only causes delays in us getting closer to the Kingdom. Let the word of God be your Keys to Salvation. Let us be washed in His blood. The song says what can wash away my sins nothing but the blood of Jesus, what can make me whole again nothing but the blood if Jesus. Once we take on the name of Jesus, then we have been given the KEYS to SALVATION.  With these Keys to Salvation we can help others receive their Keys to Salvation.

Closer Than You've Ever Been

James 4:8 (NIVUK)

Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

The word tells us to draw near to God and He will draw near to us. He wants us to wash our hands, sinners, and clean your hearts, for those that are unsure on wanting to serve God or living the life of sin. He want us to stop the wavering and being double minded in our walk with him. 

God wants a relationship with each of us, but we must first make up in our minds that we want to make Jesus our priority. Let's not make ourselves a target for the enemy by being unstable in our walk with God. YES! you can be kept in your walk with God,  but if you choose to live life anyway, you can cause yourself to fall out of the will of God. The song says I come this far by faith leaning on the Lord, trusting in His holy word, He never failed me yet. Saints, friends, Jesus will never fail you, continue to draw near to Jesus by reading your word daily and let it cultivate within your spirit and Jesus will draw near to daily as you seek Him.

Jesus Is NOT A Genie In A Bottle

James 4:2-3
You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (NIVUK)

Often time we seek God for a spiritual walk with Him, and then we have those that seek after God for personal gain. We live in a world that offers a great variety of pleasures. Sometimes we can become envious of others because we don't have what they have. Therefore we begin to want what they have because we feel we deserve it. There's times when people only seek God because they are wanting God to bless them. So they call on Him as if He is a genie in a bottle. But I am here to tell you Jesus is not a genie in a bottle. First of all God has given us liberty so why would we want Him to be locked up as if He is a prisoner. That's how He feels when we put Him away after He has bless us. We put Him in a bottle, as if He is a genie and only call Him when we want something. As you see, the scripture tells you that you have not because you ask not. However, we will not receive anything if we ask for the wrong reason. God said it is His pleasure to bless us, but yet we also must be abiding in God's will if we expect Him to give us want we need and not what we want, because of the wrong motive. We must remember that we have access to the name and our blessings can be unlimited if we keep God commandment. So remember Jesus is not a genie in a bottle that you can call on only when you want sometime. But remember the 10th commandment and the last part of that is thy shall not covet anything of thy neighbor's. Also do not covet for those things that is not if God. Remember Jesus is not a genie in a bottle. He does not grant us wishes,  He blesses us when we are following the commandments of God.
God Bless

The Heart of Deception

Matthew 26:14-16
Then one of the twelve-the one called Judas Iscariot-went to the chief priests and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. (NIVUK)

Sometime in our lives we have been the victim of deception. Rather it come from a family member, friends, co workers, spouse or someone you don't know.
We are lured into trusting and building relationship only to realize you been deceived. Well that's how Jesus feels when we turn our backs on Him because things are not going our way. We let our flesh get the best of us so we begin to put Jesus on the back burner and sell out to our hearts desires. Sometime people can become deceptive by going through life and going to church showing the love that God requires us to do, but yet they have a heart of deception. God wants us to be true to His word and follow His commandments. He does not want us to be deceitful and carnal minded or sell out to the ways of the world. We don't want to be a Judas by hearing and studying the word of God only to fit in, why all the while you have a heart of deception to sell out for the desires of the flesh. People don't miss the Kingdom of God by having a Heart of Deception. Let's not put our salvation with Jesus up for sale, let's be sell outs for JESUS because he is the way the truth and the light. God Bless

Mary Had a Little Lamb (Jesus)

John 1:29

The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (NIVUK).

Some may think of the song, "Mary Had A Little Lamb" that we would sing as children and still sing today. However, the Lamb I am talking about is the Lamb of God, who has come to free us from our sins. The song states that everywhere Mary went the lamb was sure to go. That is what the Son of God was sent to earth for, so that He can teach us how to live life Gods Way so that we can make it into the Kingdom of God. The word was given to us through His Son the (Lamb of God) so that it could be our road map to salvation. That little lamb trusted Mary enough that it knew to follow her. That is what God want us to do. He wants us to follow and trust His Son the (Lamb of God). He does not want us to go off on our own without the covering of the word. We must let Jesus be our pilot so that He can give us the teachings we need to see the Kingdom of God. Jesus does not want us to stray, he wants us to stay on the course which is our road map to heaven. You will find that if you are obedient to the word of God and follow the instructions God has given us, we will find that obedience will give us the power and knowledge we need from God to make into the Kingdom. So let's follow the Lamb of God (JESUS).
