A MESSAGE OF GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU

 

Marcella Ward   August 28, 2024

God is our Creator.  He is a compassionate and loving Father.  God as Father is the epitome of who God is.  God loved us so much that He gave His only Son to die for us so that we can be saved.  God still wants to be in relationship with us because He loves us so much!

God’s love is unconditional.  There isn’t anything that we can do that would separate us from His love.  Even though our earthly father may abandon us, God will never leave us or forsake us!

The following Bible verses express God’s love for you.  Read them as if God Himself is speaking to you.

Top Bible Verses about God's Love    (ESV)

Romans 5:8 - But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 4:16 - So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 3:1 - See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Zephaniah 3:17 - The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Prayer To Stay In The Center Of God's Love

Dear Lord, help us never to forget that the safest place in a fallen world is to remain in the center of Your will, no matter where we are, who we are with or what circumstances may seem to be looming on the horizon. I pray, that I may stay in the center of your perfect will each day of my life, and that I may walk worthy of my calling and live in a way that is pleasing to You.

May I learn to walk by faith each moment of the day and not be swayed by sight or feelings or emotions, and may I learn to trust Your Word more and more with each passing day, knowing that without faith it is impossible to please You. For it is my heart's desire that in all I do and say, I may be pleasing in Your sight.

Help me not only to do what is good and acceptable in Your eyes but help me to speak and think aright. May I live in a right relationship with You, walk humbly before You all the days of my life and I pray that I may develop an attitude of grateful praise and thanksgiving. Help me to water all that I say and do with prayer and may my actions and attitudes be rooted in Your love and surrounded by Your grace.

Oh Lord, I pray that the words of my mouth be pleasing and acceptable to You, and that my conversation be always full of grace and seasoned with salt. Grant me wisdom I pray, to know how best to answer everyone with whom I come in contact, in love but without compromise. This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen.

GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU IS EVERLASTING.  HE LOVES YOU WITH THE HEART OF A FATHER.  DON’T ABANDON HIM BUT COME TO HIM AND HE WILL ACCEPT YOU AND LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”  (NIV)

Pray This Prayer for Salvation: 

Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. Cleanse me and make me Your child. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Savior and Lord of my life. From now on, help me live for You, with You in control.
In Your precious name, Amen

YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO UNPRECEDENTED TIMES          JULIE GREEN

Date Word Received: August 7, 2024

Watch video - published August 8, 2024

“My children, you have entered into unprecedented times. Things you cannot explain will happen. Things you thought you would never see, you are about to see. Your Nation will experience something it has never experienced to this degree. Many things are about to take place for the destruction of the establishment and the chokehold they have had over My nations. Yes, nations, not just the Land of My Eagle. They have also done things to infiltrate and try to destroy My Israel. 

Your enemies will pay a high price because of the destruction and the death they have brought on Earth. Your enemies are about to fall apart and lose everything they hold dear, and they are about to go and hide for a time. They will try this again at the very end of days, but for now, this time is for you, My Church, to arise and take back all that belongs to you. 

Do not fear this time. Do not fear this shaking. Do not fear the unknown or what lies ahead. I am directing, leading, and guiding you to your victory. 

This great shaking will lead you into a great awakening where My Church will be cleansed, strengthened, and united. My Church rising is what your enemies are petrified of. They have silenced and suppressed you for long enough. So, My children, shout your enemies to the ground. 

It is time for great removals in the Land of My Eagle. It is time for a great political reset. It is time for My Church to take leadership roles and lead this Nation into its blessing and the power it was always designed to have. It was held back because this Nation was hijacked for so long. But it is time for the great release. My remnant, keep standing, keep fighting. It is working. Do not lose hope now. It is time for the giants to fall, saith the Lord of Hosts.”  (www.jgminternational.org )

SHIELDS UP!     Diana Larkin

“My Army of Light, did you HEAR Me early this morning telling you it was TIME to AWAKEN? It is TIME to MOBILIZE the WHOLE Army of Light. SHIELDS UP! I AM not calling you to DEFEND your land, I AM calling you to ARISE and to PURSUE the enemy until he is DEFEATED and you have RECOVERED ALL. PURSUE with your FAITH in Me and My PROMISES going before you. Go with DECREES and DECLARATIONS on your lips. Keep speaking into the atmosphere, ‘You have LOST; we have WON!’ Leave NO LYING REPORT that the darkness speaks GO UNCHALLENGED. Send forth My FIERY ARROWS of TRUTH into the LIES and watch them BURN and FALL to the GROUND. Call for My Host to JOIN you in PUSHING ASIDE EVERY enemy scheme and plan. Ask My HOST TO reinforce YOUR demands that the enemy RETURN what he has STOLEN from your life: your RELATIONSHIPS, your CHILDREN and GRANDCHILDREN, your FINANCES, your HEALTH, the TRUTH about history and present-day circumstances, and the EXPOSURE of the DECEPTIONS and LIES that hold people in BONDAGE—GIVE THEM BACK! Keep PUSHING HARD against the enemy until he is pushed into FULL-ON RETREAT and then DRIVE him RIGHT INTO THE JAWS OF MY FINAL TRAP. As you go about your daily life and responsibilities, allow Me to keep your spirit ALERT to this FINAL PUSH against the darkness. PRAY CONSTANTLY in the Spirit. DECREE and DECLARE.  WORSHIP with all of your heart. STAY CONNECTED to My PRESENCE so that you HEAR BATTLE STRATEGIES and are CONTINUALLY REFRESHED and STRENGTHENED in Me. In spite of all the FLACK, LIES, SMOKESCREENS, and THREATS of the enemy that he is FRANTICALLY launching, I AM telling you that you have the ADVANTAGE in this battle of DARK to LIGHT. Your warfare has BROKEN their UNIFIED FRONT and WEAKENED their DEADLY SCHEMES. Don’t get SIDETRACKED with all the DISTRACTIONS they will roll out; don’t get caught in MEANINGLESS DEBATES, and do not take the BAIT of OFFENSE because these all SIDELINE you from the battle I want you FOCUSED on. As long as you are partnered WITH ME, YOU cannot lose. SHIELDS UP—WE’RE GOING IN!” (www.dianalarkin.blogspot.com )

 A prayer for victory over evil:

Holy God, I come before you, overwhelmed by the vastness of evil in this world. It grows ever darker, and I need your light to shine ever brighter. Help me to stand firm, holding my shield of faith high in order to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let your word go forth with truth and justice so that you would triumph over the evil in this world. Your power astounds and resounds and I wait in anticipation for your victory.  (How Do I Pray for Victory?  Jessica Van Roekel Author of Reframing Rejection Updated Aug 29, 2019)

  Psalm 18:47-49

New Century Version

⁴⁷ God gives me victory over my enemies
    and brings people under my rule.
⁴⁸ He saves me from my enemies.

You set me over those who hate me.
    You saved me from violent people.
⁴⁹ So I will praise you, Lord, among the nations.
    I will sing praises to your name.

 

God does save us from our enemies.  God will protect us and He will bring down judgment upon our adversaries.  We need not lose hope.  The best is yet to come because we serve a Mighty God who delivered the Israelites from the hand of the Pharoah in Egypt and we will see the deliverance of the Lord from evil.

                                                           FORGIVENESS

 

Marcella Ward   August 14, 2024

 

I John 1:9 “If we admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another (readily and freely), as God in Christ forgave you.”

Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive people their trespasses (their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment), your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” But if you do not forgive others their trespasses (their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment), neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.” 

 

We know that Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of our sins.  He died in our place.  He saved us from the jaws of death of eternal damnation.  Just as we accept God’s forgiveness, so we too must forgive others for their offenses against us. 

Forgiveness is so important that when the Apostles asked Jesus to show them how to pray, He prayed the “Our Father” which has “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

How many of us have carried around unforgiveness for a certain person or persons?  You have heard the old adage that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick?  Actually it is the person who has an unforgiving heart that can become sick, this is based on fact.  Unforgiveness can actually block our prayers for healing and other prayers because we are not in harmony with God.  We need to be in harmony with God and His Word if we expect our prayers to be answered.  

There is no other way to say it, but Jesus Himself said that if we do not forgive, then God will not forgive us.  It is very simple.  If this seems harsh, God is a just God.  There is a story of an African pastor who died in a car accident and was taken to hell by an angel.  He saw many people suffering in hell.  He saw people who had been Christians but had unconfessed sin in their lives like a pastor that had secretly stolen money from the Church.  The angel told him that this is where he would be because he had not forgiven his wife before he died.  He was shocked because he told the angel that he was a pastor preaching the Gospel.  Miraculously, he was resurrected from the dead and now lives to tell the story of the reality of hell and the lot for those who will not forgive.

Forgiveness requires action.  Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of our sins.  We need to forgive others.  Sometimes we even need to forgive God because we may blame Him.  Sometimes the first step is just to say “I forgive…..” even if you don’t feel it.  Remember forgiveness is an action not a feeling.  Don’t be afraid to reach out in reconciliation to the person who has hurt you if it is possible.  If a hurt comes back to “haunt” you because it is hard to forget, just ask God to bless that person and give that person to God.  It may take a while to heal a wounded heart but God is in the business of healing wounded souls, so lean on Him, trust Him and with His strength and healing power, you will be able to move on and be the open vessel that God wants you to be so He can fill you with more of Himself so you can be a healing balm to someone who needs God’s touch.

PRAYER 

Heavenly Father,

Whose forgiveness of me

Requires me to forgive others

Send Your Spirit

To change my heart

And heal any soul wounds

That I may be free to forgive

Even as You in Christ, forgave me

And so I forgive others who have hurt me

And I forgive myself

And I place any hurts and any unforgiveness

At the foot of the cross.  Amen
