03/05          John 17:3

3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

KNOW

We are called to know the Lord.  He is searching for us.  His call to us is a call to surrender and accept His grace gift of salvation.  All have sinned and fallen short and the Lord offers forgiveness for our sin and acceptance into a relationship with Him in Jesus Christ.  Ask Christ into your heart and He come and create in you a new heart and a Godly life-Life like the Father’s life-eternal life.  Jesus will save you.  Ask Him. 

03/04          John 16:33

33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

BELIEVE

Believe in Jesus.  This is step one in living a victorious life.  You will need to understand that you cannot deal with spiritual matters in the flesh.  You must instead let Jesus take the lead and He will do it.  He is always victorious.  Life is troubled and hard but Jesus keeps us focused on the long-game in a world of vanishing values. 

03/03          1 Corinthians 10:13

13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 

LAST

How can I last in the face of temptation as a faithful Christian in a sinful society? Recognize that everyone has the same temptation to sin and it is a choice by you as to whether you sin or not. You cannot deal with it in your own strength, but you must submit yourself to Christ for Him to deal with your temptation.  He is always victorious. 

03/02          1 John 5:4

4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 

HARD

It’s hard to change.  It’s hard to trust.  We begin one step at a time.  We fail-we succeed.  We are still part of the Family of God.  Christ is with us in success and in failure.  Life is fast and we are slow.  To soon ignorant and to slow to change.  Lord help us with our sin hardened life styles. 

03/01          Deuteronomy 20:4

4 For the LORD your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’ 

HE

The Lord, HE will fight for you.  He will face the enemy and give you the victory.  Victory is in the Lord and His power and not in ourselves.  We can do nothing especially against the powers and principalities of the air.  Only Jesus can lead in victory.  Trust in Him. He is the Lord. 

02/28          1 Peter 2:24

24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

HEALED

When we come to Jesus we are healed of our sin problem.  We are no longer dead in our trespasses and sin, we are alive in Christ Jesus.  He is our Lord and Savior and H will never leave us.  Jesus is Lord. 

02/27          Psalm 23:1

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. 

ALL

He is the Only God.  He is Lord. He is amazing for His grace, love and faithfulness to us.  He is alive this very moment and forever.  Our Lord Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He will never change on us.  He loved so much that He willingly went to the cross and died for our sin.  He is Love and He cares for us. 

02/26          2 Corinthians 1:20

20 For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. 

EVERY

Every one of the more than 7,000 promises in the Word of God to you, to me, are fulfilled in Jesus Christ.  He is God’s everything.  We begin with Jesus.  He forgives us of our sin.  We grow in a relationship with the Father thru our relationship and righteousness of Jesus Christ.  He will be there with us now and forever.  You will never outgrow Jesus.  He is Lord. 

02/25          Deuteronomy 20:4

4 For the LORD your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’ 

WITH

The Lord is with us.  He is with us always, not just when we are good or bad but always.  We are never alone.  He always knows what we are doing and what we need.  Jesus IS Lord. 

02/24          Romans 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

TRUTH

This is the truth.  Jesus is our Savior.  It doesn’t matter what the World thinks or says, this is the truth.  Jesus is Lord.  Praise the name of the Lord.
