Wednesday: Promises (3)

"I am going there to prepare a place for you."

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Salvation Wednesday on this old prayer, praise and message line. And no better day to look at some of the promises from Jesus about salvation.

Thanks for your prayers for Dolores, she has been in a lot of pain lately, and while we are not sure yet what is causing it all, one thing is noted. She had a spot on her lung that was picked up. It is some scarring from something years ago, a cold or virus, but no cancer and no tumor on the lungs. So we sing and shout the victory once again.

Promises (3): Brothers and sisters, not all promises from our Lord Jesus do we look at as those good things. Sometimes God makes us promises, well sort of like my parents did when I was a little child. When my parents put down a rule and would tell me that I would be punished if I broke it, it was indeed a promise from them. No counting in our family. Jesus set that example when He was here on the earth.

Take this promise for instance. John 14: 6 - Jesus answered. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (NIV) Now while some might be trying to figure another way to get into Heaven to get to the Father, there is none and that is a promise from Jesus. Like it or not, Jesus is the only way. Personally, I like it!!

John 14: 1 - Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." (NIV)

Is this not one of the best promises from our Lord Jesus? Now I know He made many and here is another one ...

John 14: 15 - If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever, 17 The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans: (NIV)

Now this is Jesus telling us about the Holy Ghost and how the Holy Spirit will dwell in us if we just ask and accept our Lord Jesus as our Savior. It is one of the bonuses that we get when we fall in love with Jesus. Jesus takes care of us. The Bible tells us how God will provide our needs and these promises go on and on and on. Let's pause now and take advantage of this promise and invite the Holy Ghost to enter us and set up house keeping. Come on, if you have done this, then how about renewing today? You know we are to be going into the fields of Harvest and telling others about Salvation through Jesus. How can we do that if we don't have Him in us to start with? Sort of like being on a fund raising committee at a church and not putting up any of your own funds. That is a message for another day. Come on, let's get the Holy Ghost on board. When someone asks you, do you believe in Ghosts, you answer should be, "just one"!

Dear Father in Heaven, I confess I am a sinner and today I ask that You clean me of my sins and send the Holy Spirit upon me and to dwell in me for now and forever more. Moreso Lord, let this Holy Spirit show in all I do, wherever I go, may I walk in step with Jesus and have the Holy Ghost on board with me. Let me sing and shout the praise of God, not just in church but for all to hear. Help us Lord this day ... lead us to the unsaved and help us to bring them to the feet of Jesus so they also might bring on the power, of the Holy Ghost. In the name of Jesus I pray ... Amen.

Go forth now, sharing love with others, sharing your blessings and sharing the power of the Holy Ghost. And remember to let it out once in a while like this ... Love ya, dan.

PRAISE YOU JESUS, I LOVE YOU JESUS......
