Salvation Is Through Christ Alone

Thirst Thee No More

John 4:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”

Answer Me When I Call

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

PSALM 4 

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
    You have given me relief when I was in distress.
    Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

² O men,^[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
    How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
³ But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.

⁴ Be angry,^[b] and do not sin;
    ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
⁵ Offer right sacrifices,
    and put your trust in the Lord.

⁶ There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
    Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
⁷ You have put more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound.

⁸ In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

___________________________________________

You mockers hate me

Since He lives in me, I’m safe

I rise up in peace

The psalm’s text is a reflection of David speaking to all sinners while addressing himself to Absalom. The message in the psalm is that the victories of sinners are only temporary and meaningless, and that only repentance can bring true happiness. It is a request to God for deliverance from past distresses. In Psalm 4, we’re confronted with the difference between the righteousness of God and the sinfulness of man and are reminded of the way we all seek after ‘false gods. ‘ Through this study, kids will be challenged to see the false gods in their lives and will be reminded that salvation is through Christ alone.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Be Led by the Spirit

___________________________________________

Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Holy Spirit leads us broadly (always) and more specifically (sometimes).

2 Peter 1:20–21 He always leads us through his written Word, which was revealed to the prophets by the Holy Spirit. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads us directly. The Holy Spirit can choose to act in any way and according to any timetable that he wishes; we do not dictate to him how or when he will move.

Since the Bible gives many examples of him acting more specifically, we should anticipate that he will sometimes choose to lead us directly if we are open and available to his guidance. We are to prayerfully, carefully, and humbly apply broad biblical wisdom to the situations we face in our lives.

Start reading your Holy Bible today and be blessed. Be led by the Spirit.

Awesome Saturday to y’all!

Save Me, O My God

Thirst Thee No More

John 4:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”

PSALM 3

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

 1 O Lord, how many are my foes!
    Many are rising against me;
² many are saying of my soul,
    “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah^[a]

³ But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
    my glory, and the lifter of my head.
⁴ I cried aloud to the Lord,
    and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

⁵ I lay down and slept;
    I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
⁶ I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
    who have set themselves against me all around.

⁷ Arise, O Lord!
    Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Salvation belongs to the Lord;
    your blessing be on your people! Selah

Enemies attack…

I slept safe and soundly

For God knocked them out.

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me”. In Latin, it is known as “Domine quid multiplicati sunt”. The psalm is a personal thanksgiving to God, who answered the prayer of an afflicted soul. It is attributed to David and relates in particular to the time when he fled from his son Absalom.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit

___________________________________________

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

The person who has been regenerated by the Spirit is not stuck in sin.

By the Spirit, the pull of the flesh can be resisted.

To “put to death the deeds of the body” is pretty much the same thing as “saying no to sin,” but unlike the anti-drug campaign among youth many years ago, just say no by itself will never be successful.

Just saying no will never allow you to consistently overcome sin.

Then what must you do?

You must say no by the Spirit.

We can only achieve this once we are born again by receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Wicked Men

Thirst Thee No More

John 4:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed

PSALM 2 

1 Why do the nations rage^[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
² The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and the rulers take counsel together,
    against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
³ “Let us burst their bonds apart
    and cast away their cords from us.”

⁴ He who sits in the heavens laughs;
    the Lord holds them in derision.
⁵ Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
    and terrify them in his fury, saying,
⁶ “As for me, I have set my King
    on Zion, my holy hill.”

⁷ I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.
⁸ Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹ You shall break^[b] them with a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

¹⁰ Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
    be warned, O rulers of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear,
    and rejoice with trembling.
¹² Kiss the Son,
    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
    for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

SCENE 18

1 John 2:6 ESV whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 1 John 3:6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

To abide in Jesus’ word means to continue believing what Jesus has said and walking in obedience to him. Thus continuing to trust, and obey Jesus, is one test of who His true disciples are.

Matthew 4:19 ESV And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

As one of the followers of Christ, I am casting my net here in this blog, hoping and praying that I will catch a fish or two. (hehe) I understand it isn’t easy to get one’s hand about Jesus. But no worries, Jesus warned us that this would happen:
(The Parable of the Net)  “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.  When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.  So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous  and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:47-50

My friends let us pick up our nets and follow Jesus because, in the end, He is worthy.

My soul continually remembers it
    and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind,
    and therefore I have hope:

 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
 they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:20-23

Enjoy Your Sunday!

Day And Night

Thirst Thee No More

John 4:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

PSALM 1 

1 Blessed is the man
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
² but his delight is in the law^[b] of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night.

³ He is like a tree
    planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
⁴ The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
⁶ for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.

I cheer with my Lord

Glee! Full to His Law and Words

I’m untouchable!

This is a psalm of instruction concerning good and evil, setting before us life and death, the blessing and the curse, that we may take the right way which leads to happiness and avoid that which will certainly end in our misery and ruin. The different character and condition of godly people and wicked people, those that serve God and those that serve him not, is here plainly stated in a few words; so that every man, if he will be faithful to himself, may here see his own face and then read his own doom. That division of the children of men into saints and sinners, righteous and unrighteous, the children of God and the children of the wicked one, as it is ancient, ever since the struggle began between sin and grace, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, so it is lasting, and will survive all other divisions and subdivisions of men into high and low, rich and poor, bond and free; for by this men’s everlasting state will be determined, and the distinction will last as long as heaven and hell. ❤️

Ahro Means Love

It’s Meowings Day

Psalm 36:6 NIV

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

Ahro or Aro in Pangasinan means Love. And indeed, Ahro is a very loving cat. He is now 27 months. He was born on February 1 (just a day before my birthday), 2021. He is a mixed breed with a pure breed Russian Blue mom and a pure breed Persian dad.

As Russian Blue breed, Ahro is special.

Why?

Russian Blue cats are often considered special because of their distinctive physical features, their unique personalities, and their history as a beloved breed. Russian Blue cats have a distinctive appearance, with a sleek, silver-blue coat, bright green eyes, and a muscular, athletic build.

As Persian breed, Ahro is quiet and sweet.

As one of the most recognized and adored cat breeds on the planet, Persian cats have been happily snuggling up with their owners since the 1600s. With their long, flowing coats; thick bodies; and flat faces, it’s hard to resist the charm of a Persian. 

AHRO is sometimes mistaken, as a British short-hair breed,

perhaps because of its mixed breed features.

Yet, my Ahro is a very handsome, loving cat.
Just like the meaning of his name, love does.

See more of Ahro’s “Meowings Day”.

Stay tuned. Until next time.

SCENE 17

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.❤️

WHAT MUST WE DO TO BE SAVED?

°°°First all must HEAR the gospel.

(Romans 13:1)

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God.

The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. (Acts 17:29-31)

Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination. Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him (Jesus Christ) from the dead.”…

We were disconnected from God when Adam and Eve sinned against God (the fall of men in Genesis 3).

And only thru Jesus Christ that mankind will be saved.

Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.…(Isaiah 53:4-6).

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

°°°Second, we must BELIEVE what we’ve heard. We must understand that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that He died for us and had risen from the dead and now seated at the right hand of God the Father. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.(Ephesians 4:4)

But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (Acts 8:12)

°°°Third; REPENT of your sins. “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near.

Repent and believe in the gospel!” (Mark 1:15)

°°°Fourth, CONFESSION that you believe and acknowledge the gospel and received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Surrender your all to Him.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

°°°Fifth, BE BAPTIZED for the remission of sins; (Revelation 1:5) …

To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, (Romans 6:3-4) …all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death.

We were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.… (1 Peter 3:21)

And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also…through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

°°°Finally, LIVE FAITHFULLY. Galatians 5:22-26

Let’s Pray: Abba Father God, I believe that Your Son Jesus Christ died for me and on the third day You raised Him from the dead and now seated at Your right hand. I repent to all of my sins, cleanse me from all unrighteousness I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. I receive Him in my heart. I surrender my all to Him. Fill me and Baptize me with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for the God Holy Spirit to guide and comfort me, leading me to Your everlasting way, In Jesus name, Amen.

Enjoy Your Sunday!

Walking in the Spirit

is the central metaphor for describing

what it means to live as a Christian.

Romans 8:4 ^… so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power]. AMP

There is no shortcut to learning how to walk with the Spirit. It’s not just for ultra-spiritual people nor is it reserved for charismatic Christians. Life according to the Spirit is not simply trying to do the right thing, nor is it trying to live according to God’s Law. Walking in the Spirit is the central metaphor for describing what it means to live as a Christian. The person who walks according to the Spirit will in fact have the essence of the Law fulfilled in his life.
