Do you need a Father?
Some of you reading this never had a father, OR never had a GOOD FATHER! My earthly father was an abusive jerk. I always wanted a father who treasured me, loved me, didn’t yell at me, didn’t belittle me.
Jehovah is the Father I needed. YHWH is the Father I needed.
“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matt 23:9)
YHWH, Jehovah, the Lord of Hosts is YOUR Father.
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”Jeremiah 1:5 NIV.
God knew YOU before He formed YOU in YOUR mother’s womb. Jesus knew YOU before YOU even existed. The Holy Ghost knew YOU before YOU ever existed. Your Father knew you,
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5
Jehovah promises to NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU!
Would a human father do that?
All humans, when push comes to shove, will leave you.
Only God won’t! Only Jesus won’t! Only the Holy Ghost won’t!
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:19
Jehovah promises to supply ALL YOUR NEEDS!
Jehovah has never let me go hungry, even when I didn’t serve Him, never let me go homeless, never let me go car-less.
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalm 37:25
Jehovah won’t let you go begging bread or forsake you!
“Fear Not” appears in the Bible in that form or similar 365 times! Jehovah really does think of everything! He put it in His Word (Jesus is the Word) so you won’t fear!
DON’T FEAR TOMORROW BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHO HOLDS TOMORROW!
Jehovah, Your Dad, not only holds tomorrow, HE OWNS TOMORROW! Toilet bug, er, satan doesn’t own anything. YHWH (Jehovah) owns tomorrow.
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8
Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are the same everyday. They don’t change. They don’t get depressed. They always are loving, kind and care about YOU!
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18.
If you are brokenhearted, Jehovah saves YOU! You just have to tell Him all about your pain, your problems, your issues.
“In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.” Psalm 18:6
“The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” Psalm 34:15.
“Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62.8
There is an old hymn that says, “Have a little talk with Jesus. Tell Him about your trouble. He will hear your faintest cry. He will answer by and by...”
God cares about YOU!
You are God's prized possession and toilet bug, er, satan HATES YOU! Honestly, has satan ever done anything for you? Really? Nope, not one thing! Jesus, on the other hand, has paved the way for us with complete and utter victory over everything, especially satan and his ilk. When Jesus died on the Cross, he took away the sin of the world. We only have to repent and ask Jesus into our heart to be born again.
Do you know Jesus?
Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.
He came and died for you.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)
There is no greater love than Jesus.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)
Accept Him today if you don't know him.
Sinner's Prayer
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."
Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit." In these dark times, you need the Holy Spirit right after getting saved.
Amen.
