You have to know it for yourself!!!!

John 4:39-42

39And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

41 And many more believed because of his own word;

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

This passage of scripture occurred after Jesus had talked with the Samaritan woman at the well, during this conversation He revealed that He knew her life story and the mistakes she had made. In addition, He told her about how she could have the living water (Spirit of the Lord) and she would never have to thirst again. Jesus also revealed that He was the one that the prophets of Old talked about (John 4:1-33). God knows our personal history and the mistakes that we have made but regardless of these mistakes He still offers to fill us with his Holy Spirit. Starting at verse 39 we see that the Samaritan woman went and testified to others about that which Jesus revealed unto her and said that Jesus was the Christ. So others came to see what Jesus was about, and they asked him to tarry (stay) with them. Because they asked him to Jesus stayed with them for two days. During this stay He spoke to them (and most likely worked miracles for the people), and because of the time He spent with them Samaritans many people believed that He was Jesus our savior. And in verse 42 we see that some didn't initially believe the testimony of the Samaritan woman, their belief came when they heard Jesus for themselves, the scripture states," Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world".

In order for someone to be saved they have to experience Jesus for themselves. We need a personal relationship with Christ. You have to know within your own heart that Jesus is who He said that He is. Jesus is our Saviour, He is the one that died for our sins and He offers the gift of eternal life, which is available for those who receive the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:38. Romans 6:23 says," The wages of sin are death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus offers us eternal life. However, many people rather serve the devil. The devil doesn't have a plan of salvation he desires to sift us as wheat and destroy us. The only thing the devil can offer is sin which eventually leads to death. We must be holy and sanctified in order to please God. We must abstain from the wickedness of the world. Furthermore, we have to work out issues that we have with our brothers and sisters in Christ we cannot hold grudges against others if we have an issue with someone we must work it out. Something as simple as a grudge can keep you out of Heaven. As Christians we must always grow spiritually and seek to go higher in the Lord. And we cannot let out family members keep us out Heaven. Some people may miss out on the Kingdom of God because they value what their parents, spouse, family members of friends say rather than taking heed to the Word of God. However, we must be follow the Spirit of God, and we cannot walk in the flesh, because following the flesh leads to destruction.

Be encouraged and continue to stand for Truth.

Thank GOD for salvation!!!!!!!

Thank GOD for the true plan of salvation (Acts 2:38).

Hallelujah we have the key to being saved it is so simple, all we have to do is repent and be baptized in the name of JESUS for the remission of our sins and then the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) will come. The Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) is our ticket into heaven and without it you will not make it it.

Matthew 1:21

Matthew 1:21

And she shall bring forth a son, and that shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Christmas is more than giving out presents. We should remember the reason for this season. The birth of JESUS is very significant, something we cannot forget. His miraculous birth was the beginning of the fulfilment of the New testament covenant, and was the beginning of the reconciliation of sinful men. GOD manifested himself as JESUS and this was the first step toward redemption. So thank GOD for the birth of JESUS.

Restoring Worship

1 Samuel 6:15

And the Levites took down the ark of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the Lord.

The Ark was brought to Jerusalem with sacrifice, reverence, music and shouting. It inspired worship and the desire to please God. The fact that Jesus sacrificed himself at calvary should inspire everyone to worship God. We as saints of God need to restore worship in our life. It is time to offer up whole hearted praise to God. The Ark of Covenant represented a type of God's glory to the Israelites, but now the Lord has blessed us with the Holy Ghost, He resides in us. It is a blessing to feel the presence of the Lord. There is nothing like a touch from the Lord. The Holy Ghost surpasses all understanding, it is wonderful to know that God has blessed us with His Spirit, He is with us always. Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Be encouraged and uplift Jesus through worship. If you can't worship the Lord, you need to pray that the Lord will revisit you with a Fresh Anointing of the Holy Ghost. Because we should always be able to offer up a praise to the most high God, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Why do I trust God?

Why do I trust in God?

The answer is quite simple, I trust God because of his many great works especially the work God done at Cavalry. The Lord promised us that He would send us a comforter which is the Holy Ghost. And those who have received the Holy Ghost as prescribed by Acts 2:38 realize that the Holy Ghost is the fulfilment of just one of His many promises. And that more things are to follow for those that keep the faith. But we can also look at trees, mountains and other things in the landscape and realize that these are all God's creations. Furthermore if you look at the vastness of the universe (our solar system, other galaxies and/or universes) we see that greatness of God's creation. Scientist often refer to the beginning of creation as the result of a 'big bang'. However, through my eyes of faith. I see the vastness of the universe as a testament to God's omnipotent nature. God is all powerful He has the power to create and destroy entire solar systems with his word. Truly, we serve a great and magnificent God who passes all human understanding. His word is true, and therefore I choose to trust in Him. He never fails, He always makes a way out of no way. Therefore, I have hope because of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 31:1

Isaiah 31:1 "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horseman, because they are strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord.

In this scripture there is a warning to Holy Ghost filled believers. Egypt represents a type of bondage, and bondage is representative of sin. Therefore, Isaiah says woe unto them that turn back to sin (perdition) when times get rough or when trials and tribulations come. A lot of Christians nowadays turn right back to their old ways when the journey gets rough. Some people trust more in carnal material things such as houses, cars, jobs (chariots). While others trust in men such as the president, the pope, doctors, lawyers (horseman) because of their status in society. But no one wants to look to God for help, nor will they seek the Lord and follow him.

Once you have been saved, there is no help in turning back to sin. When we were unsaved we created a lot of problems that we couldn't get out of. So it doesn't make sense to go back to that same sinful state, once we have experienced the presence of the Lord.

Our Labor is not in Vain

Hebrews 6:10: For God is not unrighteous to forget your labour of love, which ye have showed towards his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints and do minister.

God is righteous he remembers everything that we have done in his name. The work and the labor that we do in honor of his name. He is faithful and just, so keep the faith and continue to lift up his name. We are blessed in all situations just hold and be diligent in your works for Christ.
