Even when I had given up on life, HE never gave up on me: JESUS THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS!!!
The Journey that HE has taken me on and loving and trusting HIM through the valleys and also remembering HIS Promises-that the things that HE has for us are grand and the best is yet to come! In this year, get ready ready to see HIS GLORY, MAJESTY and POWER fall and come in a way like you have never even seen before, encountered, or ever experienced. Get ready to get immersed and go deep and be drawn into HIS EVERLASTING LOVE AND PRESENCE.
The story you are about to read is true. Jesus had me re-write my personal story several years back, and now Jesus has had me bring back to memory on today on June 12th, of 2010 some very precious things to my mind-for remember that when we obey HIM...no matter how horrific or hard the trials may seem to be at the time..when we are placing our hope and our trust in HIM when we are looking back years down the road that we will be able to see the beautiful story line that has actually been written and has also been orchestrated and also brought about through God's everlasting and amazing hand . I asked Jesus to show me some of the things that I had forgotten. This is a story and a life that could only be here to share this story with you today because OF HIS EVERLASTING GREAT LOVE and MERCY! none of it is me! All the GLORY AND THE HONOR GOES alone to HE WHO WAS, WHO IS, and WHO IS TO COME! Praise God Almighty of all Heaven and of all earth. He is forever faithful to HIS WORDS AND PROMISES. TRUST HIM WITH YOUR WHOLE LIFE! WITH ALL THAT YOU ARE AND WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE! Trust and focus on HIM-on HIM and HIM alone can bring TRUE FULFILLMENT INTO YOUR LIFE! GET READY TO BE IMMERSED! AND to be forever CHANGED BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS! It doesn't matter what you may or may not have done in the past! HE loves you. AND HE CHOOSES you for HIS OWN! REST IN HIM! TRUE SURRENDER IS FOUND in (dying) to yourself and giving HIM all that you are and all that you have:
One has the choice to either become bitter or compassionate. (This is my story) I went through alot during high school; and this verse reminds me of God's glory and where He has brought me thus far today, and I know what He shall continue do for HIS everlasting eternal glory as well: Genesis 50:20 (The Message)
19-21 Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid. Do I act for God? Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. Easy now, you have nothing to fear; I'll take care of you and your children." He reassured them, speaking with them heart-to-heart."
During my Freshman year in high school, (I went to a small private homeschooling one for that year), everyday I would ask the girls if they would like to hang out with me, and they would always tell me that they were busy and that they would not be able to. Then, they would turn back around to their friends and explain why they would be able to hang out with each other after school. This went on everyday of the school year, and since I was so hurt by that and how I was being treated by them--I tried to commit suicide twice. I am so thankful that Jesus did not allow me to go through with it. ***During the hardest moment of my life--Jesus spoke to my heart and to my ears and said to me, "Jessica, I have loved you with an everlasting love. If you choose to end your life now, the blood of millions will be on your hands." And during that time that He was speaking to my heart...HE had shown me an OPEN vision of hell...I heard the screams, and I saw the souls of those who had refused him...the souls of the damned...everlasting eternal judgment in hell. The very sight of seeing those souls falling into the very pits of hell...shook me to my VERY core....FRIENDS, eternity is forever....it will NEVER be a time for one to be playing games. Yes, eternity is FOREVER....what will you choose...will you be in the wondrous, beautiful, absolutely breathtaking glories of Heaven, or......will you be in the absolute ravenous, horrendous, decaying, putrefying, effects of hell. The Bible calls this place...Sheol....which is known as the place of the dead. of a place of rotting...of a place of decay..dear friends, you never want anyone to go here ever.....there is absolutely.... no life here. there is only agony, endless hours of torment that will last one soul for an eternity, in a place where the heat and the fires are so hot that if one were to endure these flames while they were on earth, that they would not survive. In Mark 9:48 it has this to say about this dreadful place, "Mark 9:48"Where their worm [[a]which preys on the inhabitants and is a symbol of the wounds inflicted on the man himself by his sins] does not die, and the fire is not put out." Hell is a very real place. The screams that I heard while I was shown that vision by Jesus-there were screams of such pain and torment..that no earthly mortal man woman or child on this planet has ever even known...it was a cry of the damned...a cry of excruciating...a torment that is not human...a non-EARTHLY torment. And ever since that time; the PASSION for SOULS has BECOME even GREATER. I DO NOT want to see ANYONE go to hell. JESUS PAID the ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THEM! My Dear friends, it is my prayer that even while you are listening to this song: (Crystal Lewis - just as I am/ I surrender all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw7cRPykjc4 ) ....that if you don't know Him as your very personal Lord and Savior...and if you were to die today...and you don't know where you would eternity..and you want to know beyond a shadow of doubt...that if you died today that you would go to Heaven, then pray this prayer with me...Jesus,
I just want to thank you so very much for dying for ME on the cross. Thank you so much for your love and also for the sacrifice that you have made just for me-just for me knowing that even if I was the only one that was on this earth that you still would have came and died just for me. Jesus please come into my heart and thank you so much for writing and recording my Name down in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thank you Father God so much for your love and for sending your precious Son down to this earth to save me from my sins and to redeem me! Thank you so much Father God. Thank you. Love your Child.
(Even as you are reading the following segments of my high school story-please know this, that no matter how difficult or how trying your present situation might be...Jesus is the very one who will never abandon you....one who will NEVER ever reject you...He loves you....even during those times in my life....that I thought that I was dying on the inside...everyday when I woke up I said this to Jesus, " Jesus, Thank you for giving me just one more day.If I'm in Heaven tomorrow..that means that I will be in Heaven in everlasting eternity with you..that's fine...thank you for keeping me safe today. I trust you. thank you for helping me to protect my heart..no matter how hard this day might be I know that I have you right beside me to carry me all along the way through this"
"I Am Not Alone" By Natalie Grant (FULL)

You're Here
In My Heart
You're the Light
That Guides Me Through The Dark
You Walk Beside Me
The Night Seems Cold
Each Time I Fall
Your Arms Are There To Hold
Chorus:
You Walk Beside Me
Giving Strength I've Never Known
I Am Not Alone
You Walk Beside Me
You're Here
In My Mind
I talk To You
And All My Fears Unwind
I Know I'm Loved For who I am
You Make Me Wanna Be The Best I can
Repeat Chorus
And I rely on your patience
When I face the unknown
and because of you
I am not alone
In the sun, In the rain
Through the good times and the pain
I reach out for your hand
I know that you understand
Repeat Chorus
...looking back, this is the poem that speaks to me the most... (Footprints Poem)'One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you." Remember that, no matter what your current situation might be-what you might be facing right now, Jesus will NEVER leave your side ever, He loves you :)...
During my Sophomore year, I was new to the public school in my town. I was chosen to be the homecoming representative for my Sophomore class; and the very next day I found a note in my locker that said, "The only real reason why you were chosen is because you are a huge joke and you are only a pawn in the game, and the whole school hates you. -Signed, Anonymous."
And afterwards, some of the girls came at me like lions with their claws out. My grades went down tremendously for a short time, as well as, during the cross country season. Where I was running in the Junior High Level; and the girls that did not like me were running in the Junior Varsity and on the Varsity Level. They decided with some of their friends, that they were going to come back to where I was running and knock me down--this happened several times.
During the middle of my Sophomore year, this one girl convinced the whole school that I was a lesbian since I never had a boyfriend, and the fact that I never kissed a guy (my morals are stronger than ever). One day, during Biology class, she told me that if I ever told on her--that she would beat me up so badly that she would drag my bloody body all over the school. Needless to say, I was absolutely terrified--and every single day I gave everything to Jesus. (My fears, my concerns, and my what-ifs?). I was always kind to them, and I never said one unkind thing to them and I always forgave them.
During my Junior year, while the cross country season was going on--some of the girls decided to play a mean trick on me. They told me that they were going to do something that had to do with cross country tradition. In my mind, I thought that it was going to be a memorable time, but it turned out to be a very horrific experience for me. Two of the girls on the team, decided to pull my shorts down in front of all of the football players and then another time in front of all of the cross country guys at a sectional meet.
During the middle of that year, in my Sociology class--the topic of aids came up and I told my class that the only real way to prevent aids was Abstinence. There was a two week debate that went on: with the controversy of Condoms vs. Abstinence. The whole school was mad at me for what my standards and opinions were. This Foreign exchange student--who was from Norway, she decided to yell at me since I was not ashamed to be a Christian and that I was standing up for Purity. All of my friends just watched her yell at me. It broke my heart to realize that they did not care enough about my friendship with with them--to stand up for me. I chose to serve Jesus with everything in me, instead of wanting to become popular. There would be so many times that I would ask Jesus, "Why am I going through this? Why does this have to hurt so much?" I lost all of my friends during my Junior year. I would always be sitting alone in the cafeteria, and other times I would I would be reading my Bible next to my locker. When I was typing up Bible verses on the computer, all I could think was, "God, I FEEL like I am DYING on the INSIDE!" JESUS, HELP me--PLEASE HELP me to stay STRONG. I CAN'T do this on my OWN. I CAN'T do this WITHOUT YOU!" There would often be tear stains on the pages. I never cried in front of anyone at school; but when I got home--I would BEGIN to POUR my heart out to my HEAVENLY FATHER, and tell HIM everything that was going ON. ***IN those moments, I could feel HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND me. TELLING me that it was going to be alright. THAT HE would NEVER leave me NOR would HE EVER forsake me. HE SHOWED me that DURING those TIMES I cried, HE was CRYING WITH me.
At the end of my Junior year, two girls who were in my cross country team, pulled me into the locker room and said to me, "You are no longer welcome at our school. If you want to speak about your religion and your ridiculous beliefs--you should go to a small little churchy school--where people will actually want to listen to what you are saying." At that moment, I truly felt like Peter and the other Apostles when the pharisees told them that were to no longer speak of or to even mention this Jesus Christ of Nazareth. But the disciples told them, It is far better to obey God than man. We will NEVER stop PREACHING this gospel."
Genesis 50:20 (The Message)
19-21 Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid. Do I act for God? Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. Easy now, you have nothing to fear; I'll take care of you and your children." He reassured them, speaking with them heart-to-heart."
The thing that these very two precious girls did not understand at the time was that they were actually prophesying about the Bible School that I would be going to this fall! Glory to God! And the school is about 200 or so people. SO the school is a Small Bible College-so what these two girls intended to say to crush me with their words,,,years down the road NOW in 2010, I can NOW see that had God intended ALL of this for HIS GOOD!
During my Senior year, I decided to start a Christian club. It was also titled: Pilgrim's Progress: Life is a Journey. The meetings were every Wednesday morning from 7:15-7:40. (I was always there by 7). It was based on leading people to Jesus and promoting purity. Kids would knock me down in the hallways, and they would push the books out of my arms, and they also chose to tear down many of the posters that I had taped around the school hallways. Several had chosen to write some very nasty and vulgar comments on the posters.
The very girls who were so cruel to me during my Sophomore and Junior years, and the girls who were on my Cross Country Team became more respectful to me. The girl who called me a lesbian, came up to me during the middle of that year, and she said that she wanted to ask Jesus into her heart :)!!! My heart's cry during high school was to be Jesus to the world. HE did SAY that in this life that we would experience heartache, pain, and trials; but to know that HE has OVERCOME the world!!!!!!!!!!
* This is a part of my story that I had forgotten about just until now....an experience in high school that was so horrific it is only through the mercy and the love of Jesus that He could give me such a love for those who so cruelly and openly chose to mock me for my stance that I had chosen to take for the things that are right and true the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of God...take a step back with me into yesteryear into one day when I truly felt like a martyr not only in my heart but also in my life: It was on a very crisp mid afternoon day in spring. It had been very beautiful that day...and yet I perceived in my spirit that there was something very wrong. That there was a storm raging. Even though I couldn't even begin to fully understand what was taking place...I had taken hold of the enemy's tail-and all of hell was about to literally break loose that very day...it was something that the enemy for so long had been keeping hidden. It was something that no one had ever wanted to talk about-or even begin to confront. This next part is only for the brave of heart to read and also to take into your spirit-it is not for those who compromise is your middle name. For we are TRULY in a time where things are no longer in the gray or even in the middle/in between. But we are living in a time...where God has called us to choose. It is black or white. Will you choose to live in the dark side-or on the side of God's Arm and victory? The choice is yours. This is what had happened on that tumultuous day: It had been the National Day of Silence- the day where many had chosen to wear all blue-i.e. blue eyeliner, blue lipstick-you get the general idea. And the whole purpose behind this was to take a stand for those who had chosen to live in the gay-homosexuality/lesbian lifestyle and also those who had supported them. They had chosen to make a vow of silence on that day. To respect something that is absolutely abhorred and is TRULY an abomination in GOD'S EYES. There were three girls who God has placed on my heart to speak the truth of this matter to. But they had openly chosen to take blind/deaf ear to what I had been saying to them. One of the girls had told me that she could guarantee that there was NOT one verse in the entire Bible that said that homosexuality was wrong. So that very day, I went home did some research and found MANY verses in my Bible that Spoke on why homosexuality is DEFINITELY wrong.
These are some of these verses:1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (Amplified Bible)
9Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,
10Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.
11And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.
and Revelation 21:27 (The Message)
21-27The main street of the City was pure gold, translucent as glass. But there was no sign of a Temple, for the Lord God—the Sovereign-Strong—and the Lamb are the Temple. The City doesn't need sun or moon for light. God's Glory is its light, the Lamb its lamp! The nations will walk in its light and earth's kings bring in their splendor. Its gates will never be shut by day, and there won't be any night. They'll bring the glory and honor of the nations into the City. Nothing dirty or defiled will get into the City, and no one who defiles or deceives. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will get in.
The very next day, I had brought these verses with me that I had written down on a piece of paper and showed her these verses. She then passionately exclaimed to me that she was a Christian and that her dad was a pastor a church; Righteous Anger and the fire of God that rose up on the inside of me. I looked at her square in the face and told her, "If you say that you are a Christian, than act like it." All through that day, I knew in my Spirit I knew that I had awakened something that many had tried to keep silent for so long. People want to be tolerant. They want to be people pleasers. They don't want to offend anyone. But that is NOT what the Word has told us. This is not what the Lord has spoken unto us in HIS Word. He has told us for our yes' to be yes and for our no' to be no. For us to cling to what is good and to also refrain from what is evil. What happened the next day, made me truly understand the battle that I had begun to walk into. But the very thing that the Lord has showed my spirit and I am starting to understand even more clearly NOW is that God has not called me/or the Body of Christ to be silent. To back away under persecution/threats from the enemy but to STAND FIRM on what GOD HAS SHOWN US THROUGH HIS WORD AND DIRECTLY/CLEARLY through this HIS SPIRIT. ---As soon as I opened the door to the choir room on that day, I knew that there was a battle up ahead. Even though I didn't understand it at the time...now I do. When I had begun to walk into the choir doorway entrance--- those three girls were there to meet me. With smug grins on their faces-they proudly and disdainfully announced to me that I was in trouble and that "they" would be leading me to the Dean of Student's Office. All the way there, I felt like I was on my way to my execution-that I was on the way to the gallows. They had huge grins on their faces-as they clearly and broadly led the procession to what I felt at that time was my death. IMMEDIATELY as myself and the other three girls walked into the doors. They began to tell the dean of students with great big tears in their eyes, and then they started weeping how I had been abusing them with my words. They began to twist around the things that I had spoken unto them. And the Dean of Students who was a dear friend of mine...Looked at me with sadness in her eyes, because she had felt that also her hands were tied behind her back. But because of what the girls could do if word got out. She had to tell me this...that if I had continued to speak about my beliefs on the matter of purity and speaking about why homosexuality was wrong---I would clearly be excommunicated. And then all four of us, the three accusers-ring leaders of the brigade and myself the victim-left her office. And IMMEDIATELY, right when we had stepped out of her office door and were walking down the hallway-they had great big grins on their faces--as if those tears meant nothing. I immediately, decided in my heart and in my spirit that I needed to go into the girls restroom and begin to pour my heart to my HEAVENLY FATHER JESUS. I began weeping. Telling Jesus, I don't know how to deal with this. God this hurts to much. When will my time of mockery-persecution end. I want others to stop treating me as if I have already died. Lord, I need you to heal my broken heart. Jesus, please just hold me and let me KNOW that everything is going to be alright. I need you Father God so much right now. Just begin to heal and comfort my wounded, broken, and bleeding heart. Jesus, oh Jesus I need you DESPERATELY more than I ever have...oh Jesus, I need you...I need you." I then chose to square my shoulders and go into the office, and called my mom asking her to come pick me up. I just needed some time at home to have Jesus to continue to heal my broken heart. (I chose to stay home for two days. I needed that time for God to begin to mend my heart. I was deeply wounded and broken and was very, very, very grieved in my Spirit..I knew that the Spirit life of God's heart was also hurt by what had GONE ON.) When I had returned to school the very next day, one of the guys in my Ecology class told me that he had heard that I had been suspended for two days, and I told him that what he had heard was not true, but that I just simply needed some time to be resting and healing in God's arms. I had asked to have some time to be at home that I was not in trouble.
Imagine me without you w/lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB7iehGN8JE&feature=related
As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Til the end of time forever
You’re the only love I’ll need
In my life you’re all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You’re the one that’s there for me
When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you
Chorus:
Imagine me without you
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day, I’d be afraid
Without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it’s just impossible
Because of you, it’s all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can’t imagine me without you
When you caught me I was falling
You’re love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard me calling
And you rush to set me free
When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you
Chorus
When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you oh
Chorus
I can’t imagine me without you
Later on in that year, one of the girls who had told me that she didn't agree with what I had stood for asked me to please be able to forgive her and to once again be her friend. I had told her that I had chosen to forgive her very shortly after that day. And even though she had deeply hurt me-because Jesus had chosen to forgive ME after all that I had done wrong in my life- that He took my sins with HIM on the cross-that I also must forgive her, and that It was the stance that I had chosen to take because not only is it found in God's Word that He is against homosexuality and that it is also AN ABOMINATION but it also grieves HIS heart because he NEVER created us to be with the same gender for if he had...he would have made Adam and Steve Or Jane and Sue-not Adam and Eve. That God never gave us rules to hurt us, but to save us from Harm because HE loves us that much. (There is something else that you must know: God hates the sin, but loves the sinner. He loves the one who is doing those things-but is TRULY very grieved by their choices. It is HIS desire that every single precious person chooses to come to HIM in brokenness and in humbleness asking HIM to renew them and to change them. To change their very way of thinking and also their way of living. For remember in God's Word He says in"2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)
10For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death]." Friends, God has never promised us that in this life that we would have it EASY-but to know that He would always be with us. That He would never leave our side. But that He would always be with us. That He would never leave US, and nor would He ever forsake US! You are so loved by HIM!
At the end of my Senior year, I was taking a class that dealt with alot of research work, and at the end of the semester everyone had to give a presentation on the topic of their choice. I chose to use my platform on Abstinence. The presentation was about thirty-five minutes. The thing that I thought was rather strange was the fact that when I began to address the group,the room was very cool. One of the things that I spoke about was the fact that there is no condom or birth control pill that can guarantee you that will not have a broken heart in the end. There are so many PRECIOUS girls that choose to give themselves away, and the very next morning they discover that they are alone. I also talked about the beautiful and redeeming truth that Jesus can give anyone a second chance in that area in their life if they choose to ask HIM for it. And that it is not too late. For a BRIEF second, and many of the girls began to tear up---but within a short time; their eyes became hard again. And SUDDENLY the room became very hot. When I finished giving the presentation, everyone said that they hated me. When I walked into the girls bathroom, all of the girls from my research class were standing in a corner talking about me, and asked if I wanted to join them. I turned...and walked away.
**Throughout my high school career, I had received two nicknames-that spoke about my stance on Purity. One of the nicknames was "Prude" and the other one was "Mom". There is a story that goes along with the reason why I was called "mom"-I was always telling guys to grow up, to not look at girlie magazines, and to start treating girls with the utmost honor, dignity, and also RESPECT. And because of this, many times as I would be walking down the school hallway to my locker-the area was known as the "Senior Hallway"...as I was making my way there, the guys would part a line in the hallway-which reminded me of the time in the Bible when Moses had used the Staff that God given to him when he had parted the Red Sea.
In the time during our senior awards-it was also the time when our class was preparing for the graduation process. Our student President was calling students up to receive their various awards that the other students in our grade had voted on..."most athletic, most popular, best class smile." It was during that time, when one of the guys stood up and had this to say, "If any guy ever tries to ask Jessica Farnam out; she will deny him so fast that he won't know what hit him." And as soon as he sat back down, all of the guys of my class clapped and cheered while all of my female classmates glared at me. They were angry that the guys had respect for me-while they didn't have respect for many of them which was based on their previous choices. I prayed in my heart that they would begin to realize just how truly precious and valuable they are to God, and that someday that there will be a guy who will truly love them and respect them. And that God would also bring the right girl in the guy's life in God's perfect timing and that the guy would choose to treat her with honor and also with respect.
***During the whole summer after my graduation, no one called me. The one thing that Jesus kept on showing me that I was in the desert period--and during that difficult and trying season; it was a time of preparation for something great! Genesis 50:20 (The Message)
19-21 Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid. Do I act for God? Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. Easy now, you have nothing to fear; I'll take care of you and your children." He reassured them, speaking with them heart-to-heart."
I want you to know that no matter how hard your life may seem to be at the time, God's desire is for us to be remembering HIS Promises....about 5-8 years ago I would have had no idea that I would be writing each of you the many parts of the story and also the journey of my life...and also the fact that the very thing that these very two precious girls had spoken negatively to my heart about years ago, that God would be pivot-ally using for his glory to be launching me into a Bible School where my heart will be used to be speaking to and also praying with the very age group that had caused me to vow at one point in my life that I would never again want to step foot in a public high school ever again. Working and also being used by HIS everlasting eternal glories in the Ministries of Love and also of Reconciliation. One beautiful thing that I am remembering even right now is this, now about five years ago-one of the girls who had been so very cruel to me and then who had became a dear friend, had said this to me the morning of our senior lock-in party that was hosted at the Middle School at around 6:30 a.m. in the morning, with tears in her eyes she had said this to me,"Jessica, Please promise me...don't ever change."
I have cared deeply for my classmates for years, and even though our opinions have been different--through the test of time--they know that I care about them. When people have deeply hurt us in the past; are we going to be harsh and cruel back to them, or are we going to try to make a difference in their lives and love them like Jesus loves them?
~Remember, that SOMETIMES hurting people HURT people; and what they REALLY NEED IS....UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
This song that has been written and sung by Avalon....is also my story of what God has done in my life. I can't live a day without HIM. So as you are listening to the Words of the this song....just allow HIM to simply love on you and for you to know that there is absolutely NOTHING greater in this entire world than JESUS. SO remember, the next time you feel like giving up, giving up all hope, and when everything seems black...that there is no more life inside of you...remember that JESUS has never given up on you....but HE has always been there...loving you and simply cheering you on. Telling you that you can make it...that you can do it and stay strong no matter how hard the the things, circumstances, or situations may be...He will always there by your side. HE is THE greatest and best friend that you and I will ever have. Oh my Dear friends, remember, we are the reason why He gave us HIS life-because He loved us so much that He didn't want to spend eternity in HEAVEN without us. This song...is my song, but it can also be yours too. Just simply allow HIM to love on you and to show you how much HE always loved you. That it doesn't matter what you've done, where you've been, or what you've seen. JESUS LOVES YOU AND HE HAS SUCH A GREAT PLAN AND A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE! YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE CHERISHED AND ARE CHOSEN BY AND FOR HIM FOR HIS GLORY AND FOR HIS HEART! YOU ARE HIS REST IN HIS LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS....REST THERE IN HIS LOVE AND IN HIS EVERLASTING PRESENCE. FOR REMEMBER, HE CARES FOR YOU...AND LOVES YOU SO VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH!
If you are one who has never even known or has never even received the Father's love and this message has been speaking to not only your heart but also to your spiritman this entire time and you want to receive and to also know the Father's love personally-not just hearing about this man who is called Jesus, but that He suddenly is NOW becoming your everything and lives and also abides on the inside of your heart. That there is such a peace in your heart about knowing that YES you do have everlasting eternal life... Philippians 4:7 that truly does surpass all understanding.
God's desire is to see the lost, the hurting, and the broken hearts of this nation and around this world BE totally set FREE by HIS love.
Yes, the pressures of this day can be tough. The enemy wants nothing more than to destroy our very dreams, our lives, who we are, and it all begins is with causing us to question-to doubt-to ponder-to contradict who God has called us to be, that did God really make us special?
There are many of you WHO even right now are saying this to God, 'But you don't even know me, what about the situation where I have been? Huh? what about the great big party scene that is soo hot.where..all of my friends are there? Did you see that I was pushed around, didn't you see me with one two many swigs of beers? didn't you see me messin around with all of the guys and the girls? Didn't you see me wasting my life away? Where were you when my life was so messed up. when I was crying my eyes out. What has your religion-your love ever done for me. I mean ya sure I have seen those Jesus thumpers. Those who claim to know so much about you and your 'amazing love' why would you even want me? i mean after ALL that i have done. After all of the cussin the I said and all of those things that I swore up and down. What about when my old man used to beat me so many nights and what about my old lady who was so high as the sky that she didn't even know what the next day was? Where were you huh when I was abused? Why do you even care? I mean I have been wanting love-but I guess I have been looking for it in all of the wrong places. I have always wanted to know that there is someone who would never leave me or ever forsake me. But then again, I see those Christians those people who tell me that you Jesus have changed their life...I see the love of God I guess that's what it is. I see so much bright light in their eyes and in their entire countenance. They come to work with all smiles even when everyone else is having a bad day...I mean what gives...I don't understand it. I mean sure I try to act all cool and tough on the outside ...but deep down i mean man...I'm dying on the inside....I want to know that peace that they are talkin about that you are offerin to ME. that your love is real. And that it will take all of my problemz away that you will change me. With your amazing blood. But then again, when I am around those who say that they are yours and belong to you..I feel so much LOVE. Far more than I ever had when I was getting high-getting drunk or having fun at a party. Jesus, if you are real. than I want to know you. I want to know your love. I am tired of always trying to be cool-and then coming back home to my room and feeling totally empty on the inside so totally wasted and deflated. Jesus I want to know you. I want you to be my very everything.'
And the enemy of our souls has been trying to use the lies of the voices of those people who are all around us...that are trying plant in little seeds of doubt. Just as the way as God plants little mustard seeds of hope and of light Matt. 13:31,32; Mark 4:30-32; Luke 13:18,19, so in the same way the enemy is trying to sow in seeds of discord and disunity among/amongst the brethren! And even now, young people and adults alike God is offering you hope right now. And this hope cannot be FOUND in the methods or in the means of this life of this world....but it CAN only be found through the blood and the love of Jesus.
And if this is you today, you need a hope, and a friend who will never let you down.
Call on Jesus right now. IN God's Word He tells in Romans 10:9-13 that if you confess with your mouth and if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead than you shall be saved!
Then Pray this Prayer with me right now,
Jesus,
I just want to thank you so very much for dying for ME on the cross. Thank you so much for your love and also for the sacrifice that you have made just for me-just for me knowing that even if I was the only one that was on this earth that you still would have came and died just for me. Jesus please come into my heart and thank you so much for writing and recording my Name down in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thank you Father God so much for your love and for sending your precious Son down to this earth to save me from my sins and to redeem me! Thank you so much Father God. Thank you. Love your Child.
Romans 10:9-13
My dear friend, the prayer that you just prayed, is not only a prayer but it is ALSO a declaration of Making Jesus being the Lord and Savior of your life and of also being your King.
For you see,that when you prayed that prayer, your heart has been wiped clean. All of those things that you have done wrong in the past-He has forever wiped away forever clean by HIS blood that He has shed for YOU on that cross. And the peace that you are going to be feeling in your heart-is one that no one or not even ANYONE in this world can begin to compare to the peace that He shall bring to your heart through HIS love EVEN RIGHT NOW.
Now, please go and tell everyone, all of your friends, your neighbors, those who are dear to you, AND everyone about what our Dear Lord and Savior Jesus has Just done for you!
Get ready to see God truly do such a deep change not only in your life, but also in that of the lives that are living and are around you. They will see the change that has not only taken place in your life-but they will also see the reason. They will also be able to begin to see the Father's love in your eyes. And the peace that also will be exhibiting so much in your life!
Welcome into the Family of God my dear friend, welcome!
Also, get ready to see the changed lives that are about take PLACE ALL around you. For you see, when you begin to share with others what Jesus has just done for you in your life this is also a part of your testimony...and the story of what you can share with others. This is A part of your battle cry, and of God is calling you out to now go and to Choose to go and make a stand and also a difference for HIM in this nation and also all around the four corners of this earth/world-showing others HIS love. And of the change that HAS taken place in your life!
You will be glad that you did...so glad that you did!
God bless you as you continue embark with me and so many others of us as we continue to press even deeper into Father God's Side and telling others-so many others about what God has just done and will continue doing in EACH and EVERY ONE of our Lives!
God bless you always,
Jessica
Can't Live A Day - Avalon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGCQnwn2hIQ
I could live life alone
And never feel the longings of my heart
The healing warmth of someone's arms
And I could live without dreams
And never know the thrill of what could be
With every star so far and out of reach
I could live with many things
And I could carry, but...I couldn't face my life tomorrow
Without Your hope in my heart I know
I can't live a day without You
Lord, there's no night and there's now morning
Without Your loving arms to hold me
You're the heartbeat of all I do
I can't live a day without you
I could travel the world
See all the wonders beautiful to me
They'd only make me think of You
And I could have all life offers
Riches that were far beyond compare
To grant my wish without a care
Oh, I could do anything
And I could carry on, oh yes
But if you weren't in at all...
Jesus, I live because You live
You're like the air I breathe
Oh Jesus, oh, I have because You give
You're everything to me Oh...

In the darkness
Where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to
Heal my wounded soul.
He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the Holy Place where
His mercy hovers near
I'm runnin' I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin; to the mercy seat.
Are you livin' where hope has not been?
You're lost in the curse of a
Lifetime of sin
Lovely illusions they never
Come true I know where there's a place
Of mercy for you
He said that you could come into his
Presence without fear
Into this Holy Place
Where his presence hovers near.
Come runnin' come runnin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' He said his
Grace would cover you. His blood
Will flow freely it will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat

Remember, THAT IT IS YOUR CHOICE...NO ONE ELSE CAN DECIDE FOR YOU-WHERE WILL YOU BE SPENDING ETERNITY?
Romans 10:9-13 (Amplified Bible)
9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
11The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.(A)
12[No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].
13For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
Revelation 3:20 (Amplified Bible)
20Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.

Revelation 20:11-15 (The Message)
Judgment
11-15I saw a Great White Throne and the One Enthroned. Nothing could stand before or against the Presence, nothing in Heaven, nothing on earth. And then I saw all the dead, great and small, standing there—before the Throne! And books were opened. Then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what was written in the books, by the way they had lived. Sea released its dead, Death and Hell turned in their dead. Each man and woman was judged by the way he or she had lived. Then Death and Hell were hurled into Lake Fire. This is the second death—Lake Fire. Anyone whose name was not found inscribed in the Book of Life was hurled into Lake Fire.

marriage.
LUKE 20:35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in

REVELATION 4:4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on
them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of
gold on their heads.
REVELATION 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no
one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing
before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes
and were holding palm branches in their hands.
REVELATION 7:13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they,
and where did they come from?"
REVELATION 7:14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come
out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb.
REVELATION 7:15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and
night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent
over them.
REVELATION 7:16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun
will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.

will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every
tear from their eyes."

standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and

first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
REVELATION 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
REVELATION 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of
God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and
God himself will be with them and be their God.
REVELATION 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or

the Lamb."

showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
REVELATION 21:11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a
very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
REVELATION 21:18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as
glass.
REVELATION 21:19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of
precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the
third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
REVELATION 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl.
The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
REVELATION 22:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are its temple.
REVELATION 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the
glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
REVELATION 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will
bring their splendor into it.
REVELATION 21:25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night
there.
REVELATION 21:26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
REVELATION 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is
shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's
book of life.
REVELATION 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
REVELATION 22:2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the
river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its
fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nations.
REVELATION 22:3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
REVELATION 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
REVELATION 22:5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or
the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will
reign for ever and ever.

The Judgment Seat of Christ
2 CORINTHIANS 5:10
10For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering [a]what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has [b]achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing].
1 CORINTHIANS 3:9-15
9For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God's [a]garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God's building.(A)
10According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it,
11For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
12But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done.
14If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward.
15But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire.
ROMANS 14:10
10Why do you criticize and pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon or despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.
REVELATION 19:1-8
1AFTER THIS I heard what sounded like a mighty shout of a great crowd in heaven, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! Salvation and glory (splendor and majesty) and power (dominion and authority) [belong] to our God!
2Because His judgments (His condemnation and punishment, His sentences of doom) are true and sound and just and upright. He has judged (convicted, pronounced sentence, and doomed) the great and notorious harlot (idolatress) who corrupted and demoralized and poisoned the earth with her lewdness and adultery (idolatry). And He has avenged (visited on her the penalty for) the blood of His servants at her hand.(A)
3And again they shouted, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! The smoke of her [burning] shall continue to ascend forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities).(B)
4Then the twenty-four elders [of [a]the heavenly Sanhedrin] and the four living creatures fell prostrate and worshiped [paying divine honors to] God, Who sits on the throne, saying, Amen! Hallelujah (praise the Lord)!
5Then from the throne there came a voice, saying, Praise our God, all you servants of His, you who reverence Him, both small and great!(C)
6After that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng, like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of terrific and mighty peals of thunder, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! For now the Lord our God the Omnipotent (the All-Ruler) reigns!
7Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself.(D)
8She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white--for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God's holy people).

a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild
beasts of the earth.
REVELATION 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen
from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the
Abyss.
REVELATION 9:2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a
gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the
Abyss.
REVELATION 14:10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured
full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning
sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
REVELATION 14:11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no
rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for
anyone who receives the mark of his name."
REVELATION 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had
performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had
deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his
image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning
sulfur.
REVELATION 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of
burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They
will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
REVELATION 20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up
the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he
had done.
REVELATION 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of
fire is the second death.
REVELATION 20:15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was
thrown into the lake of fire.
REVELATION 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the
sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the
second death."

The White Throne Judgement
HBEREWS 9:27
27And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment,
REVELATION 20:11-15
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Final Awakening-Where is the Remnant?
The DAYS before ETERNITY
Hope beyond the scope of the impending Apocalypse
Revised Edition
Rod Parsley
Author of the #1 Best Seller Silent No More
It will be the remnant of the church-not all of Jerusalem, but the one hundred twenty gathered in excited anticipation of what the Lord has promised-who will receive the church's end-time outpouring that is soon to hit this earth. There is no time left for second best. The chaff is being burned, a separation is currently taking place, and God is calling you.
The prophet Joel prophesied the new wine outpouring of the Holy Spirit's coming in his 800 B.C. prophecy:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."
Peter announced its fulfillment in his sermon on on the day of Pentecost:
"But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams."

Pathway to Purpose for Women

In all of our hearts lies within a longing for a Sacred Romance...this heart yearning set within us, the longing for transcendence; the desire to be part of something larger than ourselves...the deepest part of our heart longs to be bound together in some form of heroic purpose with others of like mind and spirit.

Supernatural Peace is Found in God’s Will
God’s peace always resides where He is. Therefore, when there is no peace, it’s a good possibility that you are heading the wrong way:
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
The late William Barclay, a world-renowned Bible commentator and minister with the Church of Scotland, made the following profound observation regarding God’s peace:
It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God’s voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
I have learned from personal experience that this kind of perfect peace is an important key to discerning God’s will. When my heart is filled with an indescribable peace that surpasses all human understanding, I am in the center of God’s will.
The wonderful minister and writer R.A. Torrey wrote this simple-yet-profound statement:
The only man who is at all competent to interpret the will of God is the man who is in harmony with God, and the only man who is in harmony with God is the man whose will is fully surrendered to God.
Throughout Scripture we read of a loving God who seeks to communicate with His people. His purpose for creating us, in fact, was to enjoy a close relationship with us. He wants us to follow the Lord’s example, Jesus said, “My meat [purpose] is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34).
To be in the will of God, we must be willing to obey Him and do His will.

332 Prophecies Fulfilled
By: Pastor Benny Hinn
From the beginning of time, our Father has given us so many examples of His eternal love being poured out upon each of us. One of the best, most understandable pictures comes from the Old Testament. I have complied more than three hundred prophecies given in the Old Testament, fulfilled in the New Testament to help illustrate God’s great love for you today.
All the prophets throughout the Old Testament, from Genesis to Malachi, foretold vital information about the coming Messiah, Christ Jesus. It is mathematically impossible that one man could have fulfilled even a few of the specific prophecies, much less more than three hundred. Only on this one Person, in all of history, is the exact fulfillment of all these prophecies.
Christ Jesus, in fact, is the subject, goal, and center of all prophecy throughout the Old and New Testaments. He was what inspired the prophets through the centuries to testify beforehand of the birth, life, death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior.
Old Testament prophecies pointed forward to the Savior. When He came to earth, exactly as foretold, He then openly and candidly revealed to His followers, friends, and even enemies what had been written of Him.
It is my payer that you will make an eternal decision to live for the Lord Jesus as you read over these prophecies. We must accept Him as the eternal Savior when faced with all the prophecies of the Bible and centuries of living proof that He Jesus is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
The message is unmistakable. No one forgives sin but God. Won’t you give the Lord Jesus your heart and life today?

From the beginning of time, our Father has given us so many examples of His eternal love being poured out upon each of us. One of the best, most understandable pictures comes from the Old Testament. I have complied more than three hundred prophecies given in the Old Testament, fulfilled in the New Testament to help illustrate God’s great love for you today.
All the prophets throughout the Old Testament, from Genesis to Malachi, foretold vital information about the coming Messiah, Christ Jesus. It is mathematically impossible that one man could have fulfilled even a few of the specific prophecies, much less more than three hundred. Only on this one Person, in all of history, is the exact fulfillment of all these prophecies.
Christ Jesus, in fact, is the subject, goal, and center of all prophecy throughout the Old and New Testaments. He was what inspired the prophets through the centuries to testify beforehand of the birth, life, death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior.
Old Testament prophecies pointed forward to the Savior. When He came to earth, exactly as foretold, He then openly and candidly revealed to His followers, friends, and even enemies what had been written of Him.
It is my payer that you will make an eternal decision to live for the Lord Jesus as you read over these prophecies. We must accept Him as the eternal Savior when faced with all the prophecies of the Bible and centuries of living proof that He Jesus is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
The message is unmistakable. No one forgives sin but God. Won’t you give the Lord Jesus your heart and life today?
