My dear friend, this Christmas Season, do YOU personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? There is great pardon and forgiveness to all that call upon His name (Eph. 2:1-10, 2 Cor. 5:17-21)! As the Day of the Lord approaches ever more closely and man’s plague-laden remedies fail to contain the EXPONENTIAL fiscal and social damage and consequences unleashed today by man’s lawless addictions to the demons released from Pandora’s Box, May Almighty God and the true biblical message of Christmas be your hope, joy, peace, refuge and strength! The Messiah (Christ) of Almighty God is America's ONLY HOPE in these very turbulent days before the Day of the Lord FULLY arrives (Rev. 6-19). Be sure you personally know Him and His saving grace this Christmas season, you will truly never be the same again! Merry Christmas and Merry Maranatha!☝️
Truly, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
There are 2 kinds of people, those who prefer God’s friendship and those who think they can go it alone.
Problem is, if you ever do 1 thing seriously evil—oh, good, you never have (?)—it will send you to the “I am MYSELF!” place (Hell) if Jesus hasn’t forgiven you.
.....My dear friend, this Christmas Season, do YOU personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior?....
YES!!!!
No, do you?
Being born again, having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, is the only thing that even remotely matters in this life. That opens up an entire panoply of worthwhile horizons going on in this life and on into eternity.
I was raised in church......went most of my life.....was saved as a teen....got backslidden until I started back with my kids in the early 80’s.....both of them professed Christ and were baptized. God has been so good to me and my family and I feel so inadequate for that Grace and love. Satan is making me doubt and that’s a fight I fight every day. With prayers I know who He is and who I am....Heaven bound!
More importantly, does He know you?
I thought I did. But things have been so bad for the last few years, despite our best efforts and multitude of prayers... I now wonder if he knows me? Or even exists.
I can honestly say I’ve never met him. I’ve had conversations but it’s been one way
I have never (at least recently) felt I could go it alone without the Lord. It is foolish for a person who thinks they can. There is nothing a man can do for himself to save himself, but only trusting in Jesus can do it

This sounds a lot like my story. Now I cannot imagine a life without Christ Jesus. I have been so blessed in my life despite many of life’s difficulties.
1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Philippians 3:12-14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:22
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
John 16:33
I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
You and me both.
Lowly sinners not worthy to even look upon Our Lord - yet He loves us. He died for us - while we were yet sinners.
I pray you walk in confidence with the Knowledge of Your Salvation.
Romans 10:13
For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Blessings to you this Christmas!
And my post is to you as well...
