Salvation

Salvation belongs to the LORD - Psalm 3:8.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 5:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Romans 3:21–24 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,”

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Romans 10:9–10 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:13 For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household

Ephesians 2:8–9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Titus 3:4–7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

1 Timothy 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Revelation 3:20–21 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Jonah 2:9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!

                                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for giving us the gift of salvation by Your grace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Consistent Prayer Life

 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

             The will of God for us is to pray without ceasing consistently. Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving - Colossians 4:2. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people - Ephesians 6:18.  

              Daniel got down on his knees and prayed three times a day consistently as he had done before irrespective of situations. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days - Daniel 6:10.

              Let us pray without ceasing consistently at all times for everything. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer - Romans 12:12. 

                                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us pray without ceasing consistently at all times for everything. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

I Am The LORD Who Makes All Things

I am the LORD, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself - ‭Isaiah‬ ‭44:24.

              Our Lord is the Maker of all things. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭95‬:‭5‬-‭6‬. We cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things - Ecclesiastes 11:5.

               The Lord who is the Maker of all things will make new ways and new things in our life like how He made a way in the sea for the Israelites. I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland - Isaiah 43:19.  Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters - Isaiah 43:16. Our God makes all things new in our life. Behold, I am making all things new - Revelation 21:5.

        Let us thank the Lord our Maker who makes all things beautiful in our life. He has made everything beautiful in its time - Ecclesiastes 3:11. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp - Psalm 149:2,3.

                                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Maker of all things. We thank You for making all things beautiful in our life. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

I Will Strengthen You, Help You & Uphold You

I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10.     

I will strengthen you

He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint - Isaiah 40:29-31.

I will help you

Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me - Psalm 63:7,8.

I will uphold you 

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me - Psalm 63:8.

               Let us thank God who strengthens us, helps us and upholds us no matter what we’re going through. I can do all this through him who gives me strength - Philippians 4:13. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit - Psalm 51:12.

The Lord Spoke To Moses Face to Face

So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend- Exodus 33:11.

                  The Lord spoke to Moses clearly face to face as a man speaks to his friend as Moses longed for God's presence and His glory. He was also very humble and faithful in God's house.

Moses longed for God's presence & glory

             If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”  And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”  Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” - Exodus 33:13-18.

Moses was very humble and faithful in God's house

              Moses was a very humble man and he was more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth. Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house - Numbers 12:3, 7. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future - Hebrews 3:5.   

God spoke with Moses face to face clearly 

            The anger of the Lord was aroused against Miriam and Aaron when they spoke against Moses and God said that He speaks in dream with prophet but to Moses He speaks face to face and very clearly. When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”  The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them - Numbers 12:6-9. 

             Let us long for God's presence and glory, be very humble and faithful in God's house like Moses for God to speak with us face to face clearly. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand - Psalm 84:10. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love - Ephesians 4:2. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you - James 4:8. 

                                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us long for Your presence and Your glory, be very humble and faithful in Your house. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

The Lord Is Mindful of Us He Will Bless Us

The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us - Psalm 115:12.

               God who created the whole world is mindful of us, remembers us, cares for us and blesses us. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” -  Psalm 8:3-4. Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? - Psalm 144:3.  

                Mary glorified God for being mindful of the humble state of her and for doing great things for her.  And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me - Luke 1:46-49.

             Let us thank and glorify God who is mindful of us, remembering us, caring us and blessing us. The Lord remembers us and will bless us - Psalm 115:12.  See I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are ever before me - Isaiah 49: 16. Who remembered us in our lowly state, For His mercy endures forever - Psalm 136:23. 

                                                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You and glorify You for being mindful of us, remembering us, caring us and blessing us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.- Psalm 23:1,2. 

The Lord is my shepherd 
               God is our good shepherd, great shepherd and the chief shepherd. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own - John 10:14. Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep - Hebrews 13:20. When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away - 1 Peter 5:4.

 I lack nothing
               We lack nothing as God our Shepherd feeds us in green, good and rich pastures. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters - Psalm 23:2. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord  - Ezekiel 34:13,14.     

                Let us thank and praise the Lord God our Shepherd for we are the people of His pasture. For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand - Psalm 95:7. He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young - Isaiah 40:11. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand - John 10:27, 28.                                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for being our Shepherd and feeding us in green pastures. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
