Nothing can touch you

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master then you come under His protection and nothing can touch you that He does not allow. But when you accept Jesus as your King, your Lord and your Master you also present yourself to Him as a holy and acceptable sacrifice to His Kingdom, to be used for His pleasure as He pleases.

Jesus does not promise us an easy road or a bed of roses. We will enter the Kingdom of God through much tribulation but whatever path He takes us, whatever tribulation, trial and test we have to go through, He will go with us and we must complete the course. We must follow Him until the end so that we can bring glory and honor and praises to Him. We belong TO HIM, for Him to be used for His Kingdom as He pleases. Whatever comes your way, whether it be hardship, tribulation, sickness, bad fortune, whatever happens, when you belong to Jesus only that which He allows can come to you. But we must stay WITH Jesus.

Many people go away from Jesus, they stray, they go look for trouble and whatever happens to them then is of their own making. They strayed from Him and therefor they removed themselves from His protection and they ran into trouble. We have to STAY with Jesus and thank Him, praise Him in all circumstances. If we did stray we have to come back to Him as soon as we can. Whatever happens to us we must run to Jesus and ask Him why the situation has occurred, why this problem has occurred and He will give us wisdom.

We will see the hand of God in everything if we stay focused on Jesus. Those who are pure in heart, they will see God in everything. Nothing that is outside of the will of God can happen to the child of God who stays WITH Jesus Christ. Are you staying WITH Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Why me?

If we follow Jesus Christ our life will not be easy, it will not be all plain sailing. He warned that we must go through much tribulation into the kingdom of God. There will be times that life will be difficult, that things will happen to us that we don't understand and we say:”Lord why me? Why did this happen?” But all His ways are loving kindness. He will never forsake us. He guides our footsteps, He is the good Shepherd. He will take us through dark places but He will also bring us to green pastures where we can rest. Sometimes He will suddenly, abruptly bring our life to a standstill. It might be sickness, it might be an accident, something that happened. It is the hand of God because He wants to talk to us. He wants us to understand that He is God. It is not us doing the things, it is Him. Without Him we can do nothing. The psalmist says in Psalm 46:10.“Be still, and know that I am God.” Without Jesus we can do nothing but it is sometimes important that we be quiet before Him, that we take time to LISTEN because very often we are TOO BUSY, too resourceful, too busy doing things FOR THE LORD, too busy with our own mind. Sometimes we need to be pruned. Every branch in Him that bears fruit, He prunes so that it can bear more fruit. The branch that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. It is in those times when the Lord stops our life that we get time to reflect, pray, and seek the Lord and once again come to the knowledge and realization that HE IS GOD! WITHOUT HIM I CAN DO NOTHING. That brings a security that God is my Father and without Him I can do nothing, but He will never leave me, He will never forsake me. He watches over me. It is important that we are cut back, CUT TO SIZE, that we can know WHO THE MASTER IS. And then after that we adore Him more. We come to understanding. The psalmist writes in Psalm119:17 "It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Thy statutes.” Psalm 119:67 "Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Thy word.” All His ways are loving kindness. Psalm 25:10 says “All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” God has not rejected you, He has not deserted you,, He cares for you. But He knows how to work perfection in us. He wants to draw us closer to Him because IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. Without Him we can do nothing. Submit, wait on Him, rest in His arms and He will guide you and He will teach you. He will make you know that He cares for you and without Him you can do nothing. That is why He makes things happen to us. It is all because He loves and cares for us. May Jesus bless you.
