Follow Jesus - Inherit a Kingdom, Live Forever!

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:" (John 1:12 NKJV) God states that all you have to do to enter the kingdom of Heaven is to accept Christ into your heart, make Him your personal savior, and follow His ways. That's it! Follow Jesus. However, Until you completely lose your life and yield your life to God, then you have not yet totally given your life to Him. You must give yourself totally over to Him, so that He can work through you. If you do profess God as your savior, follow only Him, then you will have a place in Heaven! "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." (John 10:32-33 NKJV) If this is what you truly desire, and haven't already, then take a moment now and pray, "God I believe in You and I completely trust in You. I give my life completely to you to do Your will. It is no longer I that lives, but You that lives and works through me. Use me, mold me. In Christ's name, I pray. Amen."

Through It All

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:19 NKJV) God made you and He is also all knowing. Even before you ask God knows what your needs are and has already anticipated for them. However, make no mistake that a need is different from a want. God says He will supply all your NEEDS. He never says He will supply all your wants. Also, even when God says no, he anticipates your NEEDS for that response. And, if He says no, and God knows it will be hard, cause tribulation and hardship, and upset, He is prepared and will help you get through it. God gets you through EVERYTHING whether or not it's by something He chose..or not. "For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." (Romans 15:4 NKJV) So, no matter what is going on, hang on to God's word and be comforted. Love, Beau

"Love One Another (And Yourself)..."

"You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates...What then? Are we better than they? Not at all...Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself " (Deuteronomy 24:14; Romans 3:9a; Phillipians 2:3) God sees everyone of us as equal. He does not go by race, wealth, or any other way we have of judging ourselves better than others, or that someone is better than us. We are ALL equal in God's eyes. We are not to look down on others and treat them poorly. It is a very haughty and self-righteous attitude if we do...something God hates! We are to treat each other with love, respect, compassion, sensitivity, and compassion. "Love others even as I have loved you." The reverse is also true. We should hold ourselves up to be equal as others, and have the same esteem for ourselves as we do others. Everyone is equal in God's eyes!! So, love one another, but love yourself just as much!! Love, Beau

Prescence of the Lord

"And the priest said to them, 'Go in peace. The presence of the LORD be with you on your way.'" (Judges 18:6 NKJV) God is always with you. He was with you even before you were born. He "formed your inward parts." God is with you whereever you go, whatever you do. He is with you through good times and bad. No matter what's ahead and what you're going through, even if you screw up badly, even abandoning God, HE is always with you. He is ALWAYS with you...even to the end of times. I don't know about you, but always knowing God is with me no matter what is very comforting. So ''go in peace." Love, Beau

Easter Sunday - The Ressurection

"Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.' So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, 'Rejoice!' So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.'" "...Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?" (Matthew 28:1-10 NKJV, 1 Corinthians 15:54b,55 ASV) Hallelujah!! Jesus is risen! He was crucified, buried, and on the third day He did RISE!! Jesus died for our sins and He has beaten death! And, if we give our lives to Him and follow Him and His ways, we, too, shall overcome death and live forever (with Him). What a glorious gift He has given us! Jesus is risen! Hallelulah!! Love, Beau

No One Can Seperate Us

"The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: 'Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! The King of Israel!' Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 'Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.'" (John 12:12-14 NKJV) Jesus makes a triumphant journey into Jerusalem. He has already triumphed over all those who have tried to stop people from following and believing in Him. They saw His miracles and believed in Him. His actions made believers out of the people. No one could seperate Jesus from His followers no matter how hard they tried. In fact, the harder they tried, the more followers He had!! This is also true of the love of God...nothing can seperate us from the love of God (except ourselves). Isn't that a beautiful thought!! Love, Beau

Dying to the Old Way

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (John 12: 24,25) Many plants die off every year in order for them to flourish the next. The same is true when it comes to following God, we have to die to the old way of life, to be reborn and flourish in the new life. As Jesus had to lose His life to overcome death and save us, we must also lose our lives to Jesus. If we die to the earthly world, and the things that are in it, and follow Jesus allowing Him to live through us than we shall live. We will be given eternal life and God will honor those who honor Jesus. And, like Jesus' death the process can be extremely painful but when you get to the other side it's beautiful, glorious, and well worth it!! Amen! Love, Beau
