"The Suffering of Christ and How It Relates to Your Suffering")

 

Here is what this saint says:

This is just a little poem I stumbled across during a very difficult and long illness.

It was such an encouragement to my heart

and I wanted to share it with others. The

author is "unknown."

I hope that it will bless your heart as much

as it has mine.

God bless,

Kim

 A Solitary Way

There is a mystery in human hearts,
And though we be encircled by a host
Of those who love us well, and are beloved,
To every one of us, from time to time,
There comes a sense of utter loneliness.
Our dearest friend is “stranger” to our joy,
And cannot realize our bitterness.
“There is not one who really understands,
Not one to enter into all I feel,”
Such is the cry of each of us in turn.
We wander in “a solitary way,”* (Psalm 107:4)
No matter what or where our lot may be;
Each heart, mysterious even to itself,
Must live its inner life in solitude.
And would you know the reason why this is?
It is because the Lord desires our love.
In every heart He wishes to be first,
He therefore keeps the secret key Himself,
To open all its chambers, and to bless
With perfect sympathy and holy peace
Each solitary soul which comes to Him.
So when we feel this loneliness it is
The voice of Jesus saying, “Come to me”;
And every time we are “not understood,”
It is a call to us to come again:
For Christ alone can satisfy the soul.
And those who walk with Him from day to day
Can never have “a solitary way.”
And when beneath some heavy cross you faint
And say, “I cannot bear this load alone,”
You say the truth. Christ made it purposely
So heavy that you must return to Him.
The bitter grief, which “no one understands,”
Conveys a secret message from the King,
Entreating you to come to Him again.
The “Man of sorrows”* (Isaiah 53:3) understands it well,
“In all points tempted,”* (Hebrews 4:15) He can feel with you;
You cannot come too often, or too near.
The Son of God is infinite in grace,
His presence satisfies the longing soul;
And those who walk with Him from day to day
Can never have “a solitary way."

Kim further says:
Jesus says in Revelation 3:20

BEHOLD, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in

to him, and sup with him, and he with Me.

 

What does this mean?

Jesus lovingly invites us to let Him in, He wants full possession of our heart and life.  But He does not force Himself on anyone.  He wants joyful surrender.

This is my testimony:

I received Christ when I was 13 years old.

Jesus says that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  No man comes to the Father but by Him (Christ).

To me, that was a blessed verse to stumble across when I

so desperately wanted to know God's solution for eternal life.  After all these years, I not only have complete assurance and perfect peace that I will spend eternity in God's Heaven but I've also been able to have the benefit of a wonderful, wonderful

relationship with my Savior even now while on this

earth!

There is such an awesome resolve to know why we exist.

It is an awesome privilege to have the power of an endless life!

~~~How to Accept Christ as the Lord of Your Life and Your Savior~~~

The One True God- God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit know your thoughts and your heart.  If you sincerely want to know God, to be accepted in His family and His kingdom (beginning now, continuing through death, and being immediately with Jesus- living in Heaven for eternity), then please talk to Him to tell the Lord that you are taking his already free Gift of Love when Jesus died on the cross and rose.

Here is a prayer you may want to say or whatever is on your heart and spirit in truth to Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the Creator of the earth and everything in it...most including you and me:

 

A Prayer for Salvation for You

Dear Father in Heaven, I have sinned against You and have not always been the way that You would have me to be.  I believe that Jesus Christ, Your Son, is the Only One, Fully God and Fully Man, Whom You sent to die on the cross for all my sins; they were paid in full because Jesus is the perfect Lamb of God, completely holy and without sin.  He took my place.  He died, was buried, and then arose from the grave, fully alive!  He spent time with His disciples and apostles, was seen by over 500 people, and then arose to sit at the right Hand of the Father, where He intercedes for me to the Father.  I am a co-heir with Jesus.  He loves me, and I want You, Jesus, to be Lord and Savior of my life from now on.  Thank You! 
Amen.
(So be it.)

You are now a daughter or son of the Living God, and no one can ever take that away from you.  Find a good Christ-believing, Bible-believing and teaching church where people welcome you. 
Be reading God's Word, The Holy Bible, regularly/daily and be in fellowship with the Body of Christ, other true believers.  Pray and learn as much about the Lord as you can.  Try to do the right thing, if you fall short at times, talk to God about it.  You are His saint, and He forgives you.  Ask Him to help you and to protect you each day- the Holy Spirit will guide you because He sealed you the moment you accepted Christ.  Through thick or thin, bad and good times, plenty and little, no matter what, He is at your side...remember: 

^"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." 
[Romans 8:28, (ESV) English Standard Version]

(This verse has held me up, kept me going, and encouraged me many, many times!  It is my Life Verse :)
You have instant access to God's heavenly throne because Jesus, His Son, sits at His right side interceding for you.  Pray for others- that is a great calling and will enrich you and help others.

Honor the Lord God above all with no false gods or deities.  Put Him first, then Love one another, as yourself.  Do the right thing.

You will be utterly amazed at how the Lord helps you every day and in so many ways. 
Talk to Him any moment of the day or night.
He is always on-call, never sleeps or shirks
His Love for you and His responsibility to you.

The last thing Jesus said to us before He departed for Heaven
after He had arisen
and was with us on earth for 40 more days:

 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8, ESV)

Jesus also said that He was going to prepare a place for us, and if it were not true, He would have told us so.  The Lord Jesus is preparing a place of many mansions for us. 
 Jesus Comforts the Disciples…2"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3"If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4"And you know the way where I am going."
(John 14:2-4, unsure of translation/transliteration/version)
Jesus then ascended to Heaven to be with God, the Father, and by Jesus' leaving us, the Holy Spirit of God was enabled to come join us to help us, to direct, to guide, and to comfort us; He lives within each of us who have asked Him into our hearts forever learning more of the glories and characteristics of the Lord, happy beyond description where there is no more sorrow, crying, devastation, or want.  It is an incredibly beautiful place of Joy, Acceptance, and Love!!!

God bless you in the riches of glory
Who is Christ Jesus!! 
He will never fail you.

Blessings, 

Donna M.

Jesus, the Good Shepherd~~~Christ, the Soon-Coming King is Returning!

(Reposted for Easter of 2020)
 Every knee will bow, every tongue confess that He is LORD!!

He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death—
his death on the cross.
For this reason God raised him to the highest place above
and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.
And so, in honor of the name of Jesus
all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world belowwill fall on their knees,
and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

(Philippians 2:8-11, Good News Translation)
RESENT for Easter, 2020)

If you and I, she and he, and everyone is kneeling and then proclaiming that Jesus is Lord, why would we want to say those words and not be saved?! Those who refused to believe and take that first step will be completely inconsolable and will have remembered the times that they could have accepted the Lord, yet they will still be testifying with their mouths because Jesus' Lordship will be exceedingly obvious. You and I have the choice to be saved! 

Oh, how God:

the Father, the Son, and the

Holy Spirit

~the Trinity~

our One God, the Lord

~oh, how He loves you!! 

Christ knew that He would give Himself on the cross to save us~ before time, before He made the earth as we now know it to be, and before He made us in His image. You have either made the choice to accept Him as Lord and Savior, or you have not taken Him into your heart. If you are still reading this blog and have not made the choice to accept Christ, then you still have time! Accept Him now.

Will you be amongst those on His right side, the sheep of His fold, or will you be on the left, the goats, who will be separated from Him forever?

I pray with every fiber in my being that you will be on the right side of Jesus, with the sheep of His flock.

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

(Matthew 25:31-46, NIV, New International Version)

Those whose names are in the
Lamb's Book of Life
will be the ones saved and live with God
for ever and ever.

Do you know how you can be in
the Book of Life?

He writes the names there, but it is your decision that makes it so. If you will take that step of faith in Christ, and tell Him that you ask forgiveness of your mistakes, that you believe that He died on the cross for your sins, that He is the Son of God and rose to Heaven to be at the right side of the Father, you will have stepped over that line of faith into forever with Jesus Christ!!

Keep close to Him.

Make sure He is the Lord of your Life as well as your Savior.

He knows when you are sincere in your acknowledgement of Him. No one can take your salvation away once it is secure in Christ. And then, continue in your faith in Jesus Christ as the LORD and SAVIOR of your life...keep going to the Mark that is Jesus Himself~ to the very end of your life here on earth.

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Philippians 3:14, (NIV)

(Jesus said:)

“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

Jesus is the Gate for His Sheep

Therefore Jesus said again,  “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of his sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

The Jews who heard these words were again divided. Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”

But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims

Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

“We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.” And in that place many believed in Jesus.

(John 10, NIV)

So, the question begs to be asked, do you know your Master's voice?  Do you recognize Him?

Jesus of Nazareth, The Son of the Living Lord God Jehovah longs for you.  He wants a personal relationship with you.  (He is jealous over you.)  He wants you to want to talk with Him, to study His Word, The Holy Bible, and He wants you to fellowship in the body of believers, the Church, of which He is the Capstone, the Cornerstone, the Foundation.

There are some things that you cannot understand until you take the step of faith, trusting that He will never leave you nor forsake you.  His promises are 100%, they fail not.  No Christian knows and understands everything about God, but there are some things that you cannot grasp until you ask Jesus into your heart to abide in you, and then the Holy Spirit comes in and seals you to the Lord forever. 

Grow each day and keep your faith, making each day count for your Savior, upholding your beliefs until you die and pass on (pass away, go) to Jesus in Heaven, forever!! 

 No one can ever take your salvation away from you.  Many exciting, surprising and fun things are to come.  Joy and Love are two major components found in the body of Christ amongst the fellowship, the members!  Then, the understanding and wisdom can flow when you read The Bible and study helpful Christian books, talk and share with your pastor; lady friends if you are a woman; and male friends if you are a man.  Mixed groups for lively discussions on Scripture and Bible-based books are stimulating and maturing in the faith.  Believe that God will walk with you each day; spend time with Him in prayer and listening, listen to good Christian music, and He will, indeed, walk with you and guide you in your efforts, answering your prayers to Him.  Let us not grow weary in praising God and in being obedient to Him, walking the path of righteousness to the best of our ability, daily asking of forgiveness of sins- errors of omission, ill thoughts or poorly chosen words, etc.  He will walk with you each day. Listen for His leading about your tasks for the day and how you may help another; He will bring people to mind, people upon your same path, individuals whom you are lead to or are particularly interested in  helping.  Remember, our precious Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us!

M. Lockridge's Unforgettable answer...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8N3js6KhUI 

Donna M., Re-sharing before Easter, 2020. Easter this year is April 12, 2020.  Come to Jesus' Flock- He will never leave you, nor forsake you.  He is the GREATEST in the earth, above and below- the whole universe and beyond- He is our/your Creator and Savior!  Here is a Salvation Prayer to tell God how you feel~~~A Salvation Prayer for You! (or tell Him in your own words...either way is equal and true and works...) 

 A Salvation Prayer

Dear Father in Heaven, I want to know You and to be with You forever one day when I leave this first part of my Life.  I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died to take away my sin.  You are Holy, and Jesus is the Lamb of God, the Only ever Perfect God and yet fully Perfect Man.  He came to die on the cross, to be resurrected, then to be with many people here before He ascended to Your right hand to intercede for each of us.  I have made mistakes, and I want Your forgiveness.  I know that the Holy Spirit Who came- that is why Jesus ascended to Heaven- will be in my heart and mind and give me help, guidance, and comfort, understanding of the Word.  The Holy Spirit literally lives within me.  Thank You!  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Heaven, God's Will for Your Life! Hell, Satan's Greatest Desire for You.

 

Greetings and Love in Christ!

  God will never force His salvation upon you or anyone.  He can make circumstances that certainly lead us to Him, and He moves mountains for us, undoubtedly!

It is the Holy Spirit of God Who draws you to salvation.  God can do all things, above anything we can imagine.  He works in little and big ways; nothing is too hard for Him, especially when it comes to us!  Working in situations and people's lives, the Lord is omnipotent and unlimited in abilities, strength, resources and creativity. 

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV)

 

Ask, Seek, Knock

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." 

Matthew 7:7 (NIV)

Jesus Christ is the Door of Life.  He stands, ready to answer you and to open the door.  He wants none to perish.

"The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance."

2 Peter 3:9 (AMP)

Almighty God

The Lord God is Creator of everything in the world and universe, including us, Whom He loves dearly~ above everything else that He created. 

He is holy. 

All people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  The payment of sin is death.  That is why only the perfect Lamb of God, His Son Jesus, Who was and is without sin, paid the full and heavy price for each one of us, so that we who ask Jesus into our hearts and lives will be forgiven and live in eternity with God and Jesus~ the One God, the Triune God, Who includes the Holy Spirit. When you tell the Lord God that you believe Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior, then ask for forgiveness of your sins, He will forgive you.  It is as though He has forgotten all sin whatsoever; to Him, the sin is gone as far as the east is to the west. 
Ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life now and forever.  Make that decision...it is a choice, and it affects your destiny from now, forward into eternity.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

John 14:1-7 (NIV)

 

God is bigger than any sin you have committed. 

Read about the apostle Paul:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2022&version=GNT

 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (ESV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (ESV)

 

 

 Do you know who wants you to go to hell? 

The devil- his name is Satan.

Satan is the greatest Deceiver; he is a master of confusion, evil, and the counterfeit.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:6-11 (NIV)

 
There are various aspects to get yourself to Hell, but the end result is eternal separation from God. It is horrible, beyond my ability to describe. Whatever you have seen in horror movies, those scenes most likely pale to the reality of being in the place called Hell forever and ever, with no reprieve and no way out.  The only beings there will be Satan, his demons, and other people who did not choose Heaven. 
What is the most horrifying, other than the fact of this place of evil itself, is that the person herself or himself chose Hell by ignoring or refusing
Christ, the Messiah. 
Please, do not let yourself be kept from God forever by stepping over and on Jesus Christ, ignoring the free gift He has given to us.  Please, do not let the way you were brought up, or the way you were not brought up, something someone said or did that devastated you, or even the way the world laughs in God's face all the time- trivializing and joking about our Creator, Giver, Healer, Protector, Provider, and the Lover of our Lives- let none of these factors keep you from the love of the Lord. 

 

Almighty God Wants You to Choose Life!

The One sure Way to go to Heaven for Eternity is to Believe the Truth Who is Jesus Christ! 

Does Jesus want you to be separated from Him forever? 
Absolutely NOT!  
Both the means and the manner whereby this Salvation is accomplished are clearly revealed in the Scriptures many, many times
(over a span of more than 1,500 years, Old Testament and New Testament, genuine prophets of God and other individuals pointing to Christ alone). 

"This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus Who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time" (1 Timothy 2:3-6). "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
(Acts 4:12) 

~SALVATION PRAYER~

Talk to God in your own words and tell Him from your heart that you want to be in His Kingdom and that you accept His gift of Life Eternal.  You may say this prayer, from your heart, if you like:

Dear Heavenly Father, I know I have sinned, and I want to be saved and live now and forever in true freedom.  When I pass on, I want to be in eternity with You.  I believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross for my sins; He took my place.  You spared not Your own begotten Son for me.  He arose from the grave and was with the disciples and other people who saw and believed in Him, then He arose from us to be with God, the Father, in Heaven to sit at Your right side to intercede for me.   Jesus also said that He must go in order to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to help me.  I give my life to You, and I will follow You.  Thank You, Lord, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

 

I am writing a new post very soon to continue this subject- namely, to discuss the wonderful, exciting things of Heaven for which to look forward!  The goodness and greatness of it is magnificent! 

I ask the Lord to continue to help me in writing on the subject of Heaven as well as other topics of Jesus Christ that come in
"The Healing is Always Christ."

In Christ Alone, may I continue to write helpful and necessary postings.
