Have you ever thought that Satan doesn't want you to hear he words "paid in full"? I mean really, he doesn't want you to have a word of hope or encouragement! He is filled with joy every time you are
depressed and discouraged or loose hope!
After all his is known as "the father of all lies" isn't he? In Acts
5:3 we see Peter's response to Ananias when he told Peter a lie. Notice wha…
I have to admit that I was not dragged into the computer age kicking and screaming in protest! I embraced it readily and back in the early 80's got my first desktop
computer. I have often wished that I had the technology I have available now
when I was younger.
One of the greatest benefits is the introduction of the Internet and search
engines. The search engines allow you to look up and generally find enormous
amounts…

I read a parable recently that bothered me when I read it the first time. It is a story that was reportedly told by Buddha:
A traveller, fleeing a tiger that was chasing him, ran till he came to the edge
of a cliff. There he caught hold of a thick vine, and swung himself over
the edge.
Above him the tiger snarled.…

In our world today it seems that not much remains the same and in most cases change is looked upon as a good thing by folks. For the most part I agree, who would want to live in a boring world where there was never any change?
Change however, is not always pleasant, nor welcome, even though sometimes unavoidable. There…

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.
Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.
You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.
Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.
Joyfully, Jesus
