Everyone has a past.

 Tonight, im reading about The Apostle Paul  speaking before King Agrippa. In this conversation the Apostle Paul declared his life and his wonderful conversion. In declaring his life he spoke of all the atrocities he was involved with persecuting Christians. We should also be aware of the fact and he was in the crowd that stoned the Beloved Stephen. The Bible said that he consented to what was going on. Now imagine your life back then. Say you were a believer in Christ and suddenly this man with such a atrocious history declares himself to be born again. Every single time that we read this story we should be reminded of  how Satan constantly accuses us before the Lord daily. I also realize why the Believers in Christ at this particular time, we're leery of Paul. His previous name was Saul of Tarsus. We all have a past and we're all still sinners. But upon repentance and beliefs and acceptance of the Dear Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth we have been changed bought with a price. That price what is the shedding of Christ innocent blood as an atonement for every single sin I have ever committed and ever will commit. After Shaw spoke of his past life he explained in detail how and where his conversion occurred. Well to end this blog in a brief manner let us all study this 26th chapter of the book of Acts. Jesus appeared and spoke to Paul or should I say saul of Tarsus and said these words Saul Saul why persecutest thou me it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks and Paul said who art thou Lord and He said I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. Then the Lord said but rise and stand upon thy feet for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make the a minister and a witness both of these things which thou has seen and of all things in which I will appear unto thee. In verse 17 of this chapter of Acts, Jesus said delivering the from the people and a from the Gentiles onto my whom now I send thee; to open their eyes, and to turn them from Darkness to light end from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins aunt inheritance among them which are Sanctified by faith that is in Me. Now these are precious words that our Lord and savior spoke he forgives me of my sins he opened my eyes in order to turn me from Darkness to light and to deliver me from the power of Satan. He also said that there is an inheritance that I will have among them which are Sanctified by faith and that faith is in Christ Jesus. This is a Blessed assurance that we all have when we recognize that we're sinners and that we need to repent from our sins that means to turn from them into another more blessed life following Christ. You know one day we're all going to die it's appointed unto us today once and then the judgement everyone that dies still lives some live in heaven and some live in hell. the Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and be saved that's his desire and that should be our desire. Doesn't matter if you're young old healthy or unhealthy rich or poor, we all have to decide what we're going to do with Jesus Christ. Accept him or reject him. Myron is prayer is that everyone I know and come in contact with will search for the Lord. Amen

The exact, same thing.

 Tonight i see David in Psalm 119...a tired almost defeated man, pleading with God for restoration. Consider all he has been through. Oh my ....some of us pale in comparison. I love the 159th and 160th verse. David ask God to consider how much he...David...loved Gods precepts( the entirety of Gods Word.) Then he....David....considers Gods lovingkindness and ask to be revived. Then David praises Gods truthfulness, and judgements. David praises them for enduring forever.  And tonight I join him and ask God the exact same thing. Because HIS loving kindness endures forever. Revive me oh Lord! Amen.

There He stands.

 Tonight after listening to a sermon by Ravi Zacharias...i had this imagination. I could see myself last in line in heaven, to be greeted by Christ.When suddenly its my turn. And i hear Him say, where is Wayne? Then the feeling in my soul tells me how marvelous it is that this busy Savior knows me...and my name. Then i weep as i think of His grace and mercy for me. How as Romans chapter 3: verse 25 says. He not only forgives my sin, but cast them away and remembers them NO more. Yes my sin has hurt others over the span of my life, and has hurt me as well. But there He stands loving this guy and welcoming me into His Kingdom. In verse 26 Paul writes, this was done to DEMONSTRATE that He himself (Jesus) is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous, him who has (true) faith in Jesus. Thank you and i give you all the praise honor and glory for my salvation. Amen.

For what useful purpose?

 Good early morning. God is great! I awake in pain, wondering why God even lets me hang around? For what useful purpose? I am quickly led to Romans chapter 3: verse 11 and beyond. The short quick answer is .....for His pleasure. To have me quickened by the leading of the Holy Ghost. Which desires that i remember.It is God that seeks me always. No man truly seeks God...without first God stirs his heart by His Spirit and literally always leads to Gods word(The Holy Bible) I must Praise God in any possible way i can, in any possible circumstance. May my heavenly Father always get the glory for my existence. So this morning.....Father...Holy be thy name. Its thru the blood of Christ that my dreadful sins are forgiven. That alone, is ENOUGH. Father....may every second of my life be a testimony that works your will. What pleases you.Amen.
