It’s not the prayer.
True freedom is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Matthew 11:28-30 – ‘Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light.’
Unless Christ is sufficient nothing else will satisfy.
There is something greater than self. There is one, true God, and He cares about YOU!
Thoughts
- There are so many distractions in the world today. Culture is so fast paced that we sometimes fail to stop and actually think. Do you take the time to ask questions about the meaning of life? Is there something greater than self? Why am I here? Is there a purpose for my life?
- You Were Created
-
- You are not here by chance. You are a desired creation by God, made in His image (Genesis 1:27). God has a plan and a purpose for your life. There are things that only YOU can accomplish for the Kingdom of God!
- You Are Loved
-
- Our minds cannot comprehend how much the God of the Universe loves His creation. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross to set you free from the punishment of sin and death. When you experience the love of God, it changes you forever. (John 3:16).
- You Are Here On Earth To Glorify God!
-
- Some say that life is: you’re born, you live, you die. It has been said: your life is the dash between the day you are born and the day you die. Both statements are true, but the greater question is what will you do with your time here on earth? When you realize who Jesus is and what He did for you on the cross of Calvary, you can’t help but praise Him for His goodness!
Truth
- “This one, true God, the God of Israel, became part of His creation in the form of Jesus Christ. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
- “Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of humanity.” Philippians 2:6–7
- “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
You are not too far gone to receive the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
Thoughts
- Your search for meaning will not by satisfied until is leads you to Jesus Christ. You are built for purpose. That purpose comes from submitting to the call of God upon your life. But how do you get there?
- He Is Waiting On You
-
- Sometimes people can complicate Jesus. You do not have to ‘clean up’ before you come to Him asking for forgiveness. The ‘clean up’ happens because of who He is in you when you accept Him! The God of the Universe is waiting on you. All you have to do is turn to Him and surrender your heart. There is no better decision that you can make!
- The Distance Is Real
-
- Once you give your life to Jesus, your sins are erased. This can be hard to understand since as humans, we don’t act that way. Human nature holds grudges and remembers offenses. That is not how is it with God. He truly separates us from our sins when we surrender to Him!
- Don’t Judge For Him
-
- Your thoughts are not God’s thoughts. Your ways are not His ways. If Jesus speaks life over you, it is not up to you to cancel that word. It is your job to receive it and spend your days pursuing its understanding.
Truth
- “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my words, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24
- “Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:1
- “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12
When you repent (turn from your wicked ways) and follow Jesus, you become a new creation.
Thoughts
- The Transaction
-
- You must get this! There is a supernatural transaction that occurs when we accept Jesus Christ. When you turn to Jesus, you truly become a new creation. What does this mean? The old you is truly dead! You are now holy, righteous, and pure. You can stand boldly before God because of what Jesus did for you!
- The Reality
-
- These aren’t concepts. They are the truths about you. Instead of thinking you are a sinner that will keep messing up, know that you are a holy and righteous son or daughter of God that is growing into their true identity! We must constantly renew our minds with the Word of God to know who we are now that we are in the family of God!
Truth
- “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
- “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-29
- “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2

How To Grow In Your Faith
Read Your Bible
Getting started can be intimidating. There are so many
translations, where do I start?! Start with the one that you will read! After you fall in love with the Word of God, you can then start to compare translations, but if you aren’t reading anything, you are missing the mirror that gives you understanding of who you were created to be! Check out – NLT, ESV, NKJV and other versions to get started.
Pray
Prayer is a conversation with your Heavenly Father. It’s talking to Jesus! Don’t worry about saying the right things, it is the condition of the heart. Ask Him questions and wait for an answer. Be real with Him. He doesn’t need you to wear a mask in His Presence. He knows the real you anyway. Praise Him! Share your struggles. Share your joys. He hears you!
Join A Church Family
As Christians, we need to be in community. It’s not about a social club; it is about growing together in the things of God. It is about being around mature Christians to be mentored by, and when you are ready, to mentor others as you have been mentored.
Get Baptized
When we are baptized in water, we go into the water one way and come out another! There is a spiritual transaction that takes place. It is an expression of your sins being washed away. Get water baptized. It can be done in a bathtub or an animal trough, or a park fountain. It doesn’t matter. It is the condition of your heart!
Tell Others About Jesus
‘Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give’ (Matthew 10:8). Now that you have been given the gift of eternal life, it is now your privilege to share this Good News with others. You don’t need to go to seminar after seminar to start. Just start! Pray in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ for healing. Pray for people to receive a touch from the Holy Spirit and experience the love of God. It is already in you! Tell people your testimony. No one can deny what God has done in your life! Share Jesus!
