“Lips for God”
Colossians 1:13-14
For He has rescued us from the one who rules in the kingdom
of darkness, and He has brought us into the Kingdom of His dear Son.
God has purchased our freedom with His blood and has forgiven all our sins. (NLT)
No one who has sincerely accepted God’s gift of salvation should ever let this incredible, life saving truth be silenced from their lips (Psalm 30:11-12). Without the goodness of Jehovah from above and without His abundant mercy and grace towards us, where would we find the peace and joy that comes with knowing the promises of God (2 Peter 1:4) and what lies ahead for us after our earthly bodies are spent? For people without the Wisdom of God directing their lives there is always a great fear of the unknown—not knowing what lies beyond this short life. Unfortunately, there are many confused and prideful people that put their hope in denying the reality of hell and desperately believing the lie that if an all loving God and Heaven do exist, that everyone (no matter how they have lived this life) are heaven bound. There are also many lost people who hope this life is all there is and therefore, consciously escape the consequences of their actions. This is why we, as believers in Christ, must hold steadfast in our faith that God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do, because without a firm grip on our faith we will shift back and forth, unsteady and unsure, causing our weakness of faith to look foolish in the eyes of others, giving Satan an advantage that he will surely use to deceive the weak and misinformed who are searching for some answers and hope. Staying grounded in God’s Word, by walking in His Presence, and by living and loving like Jesus is the key to God’s will, my dear friends, which will not only bless us richly in this life, but also in the everlasting life to come! Never forget God’s Abundant Mercy and be ever so thankful for His Amazing Grace. Let Him know and let the world know (Psalm 47:1)
A Whisper of Hope
I have given you much, My child…I have given you Hope in a world gone mad. I have given you a Way to escape the darkness that consumes this world. I have given you My blood and taken your sin and punishment. And what I have given you, you must share with others, for without your voice being heard—so many will be without the salvation that I so graciously offer everyone. Live your life so many will see Me and know the Truth and the Way to Life.
Psalm 30:11-12
You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning
and clothed me with joy,
that I might sing praises to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever! (NLT)
2 Peter 1:4
And by that same mighty power, He has given us all of His rich and wonderful
promises. He has promised that you will escape the decadence all around you
caused by evil desires and that you will share in His Divine Nature. (NLT)
Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph! (Psalm 47:1)
