A LONGING that ALL may BELIEVE in JESUS

 

Matthew 9:36-38

King James Version

36 But when he saw the multitudes, 

he was moved with compassion on them, 

because they fainted, 

and were scattered abroad, 

as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, 

The harvest truly is plenteous, 

but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 

that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

How far along are you, in your walk with the Lord?

Do you know Jesus?

Do you believe in Him?

Would you like to know more about the Lord?

Once you've come to know the teachings of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit of God, you will be changed.

Once you know the ways of God, you will marvel at His might, power, and glory.

Once you know how fallen we all are, you will be humbled.

Once your life doesn't seem to make sense, or the world doesn't make sense, the more Jesus makes sense.

It's only by being born again can the Spirit really teach you.

For, by then, your heart has opened.

Your mind has surrendered.

You're now ready to receive the Spirit of TRUTH -- the Holy Spirit of God.

And He will teach you everything about Jesus.

The Lord promised us:

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

Your walk will be filled with the light of the Lord.

John 12:46

King James Version

46 I am come a light into the world, 

that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

But how many really labor for God?

How many tell you the good news of salvation?

How many lead you to Jesus?

How many share a verse with you, and let you digest it?

How many care that you come to know the Lord's teachings, and not their own?

How many tell you that at any moment, the Lord can return, and have His faithful meet Him up in the air?

How many pray that the Lord's will be done, in your life, and in theirs?

How many really care to listen to what you're going through?

How many can lead you to the ONLY source of wisdom, and knowledge?

How many don't have a personal agenda when they're with you?

I pray that all of you open your heart to the Lord, and genuinely seek Him, not only when you're having a tough time.

I pray that you seek Him ALL the time.

And when you do, watch what happens.

The Lord will show up.

In fact, He's always had an open invitation for you.

When you accept that invitation, you will marvel at His teachings.

You will be free of fear, or confusion, for the Lord is the GOD of PEACE.

JESUS has the ANSWERS to ALL of your QUESTIONS.

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

It's peace you really want, isn't it?

And the love, like only the Lord can give.

Jeremiah 31:3

King James Version

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, 

Yea, 

I have loved thee with an everlasting love: 

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Well, you know where to click.

The Born Again Concept of Freedom

 

2 Corinthians 3:17 

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

Life is not about slavery, to people, and systems.

Kindness is making sure other people can live freely, work freely, breathe freely, praise God freely, and be left alone to enjoy time by themselves, or with people they care about.

It is not about losing light in your soul, because you are heavily indebted, or burdened from expectations thrust upon you.

Only a born again can understand the concept of freedom from the Spirit of God's heart.

He will do everything in his power, that he abides by the laws of God, and not cause other people undue hardship, nor slavery.

It is so, because the Lord Jesus already freed us from sin, and from death, the day He offered His life on the cross.

He defeated the devil's hold over death, for now, Jesus offered us eternal life with Him.

He took away fear from our hearts.

He took away confusion, for He prayed to the Father to give us His Holy Spirit, to instruct us in the path He had already paved.

When you have the Holy Spirit in your heart, your heart becomes alive for Christ, obedient to His will, listening closely to His instructions, and delighting in such obedience.

To serve the Lord, is the greatest honor for a born again.

You become grateful for the Light of Christ, and your desire, is only to walk in His ways.

Ephesians 5:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, 

but now are ye light in the Lord: 

walk as children of light:

The world has no hold over you anymore, for you have become the Lord's.

The world cannot frighten you, nor coerce you, much less confuse you, for you live under the Light of Christ.

You become sealed by the Holy Spirit's promise:

Ephesians 1:13 

King James Version

13 In whom ye also trusted, 

after that ye heard the word of truth, 

the gospel of your salvation: 

in whom also after that ye believed, 

ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

You love God's truth, His gospel, His Word, and you share it every chance you can get, so others may know about the love of God, too.

If you long for freedom so much, believe that only Jesus can give you that.

Be born of water and of the Spirit, and you will be gifted with God's Comforter -- the Holy Spirit -- who will teach you all things Jesus.

Never again will you be in the dark about anything.

From my own personal experience, having accepted Christ in full, as a born again, my prayers and questions are answered quickly.

And when I pray that I do God's will, the answers come before my prayer's even finished.

Such is the gift of the Spirit of God.

It is clear, immediate, and powerful.

The world loses its hold on you as you serve God alone.

You are free of self, as you gain God.
