365 Prayers to JESUS
Jesus, I thank You Lord for this season of learning, for Your chastening and correcting for I know that You Love me when I don’t deserve Your Love and when I am “straying” from Your Truth and cannot find myself for the “darkness” I have wandered into, Your Love Shines like a Guiding Like and You draw me back onto the “Narrow Pathway” and shelter me Unconditional Love from the attacks from the world. Lord, I pray that l share in like manner that You have “Shared” with me, to all those You put in my pathway that my light will guide them to the True Light! AMEN
The Jesus Questions
JUNE 28 JQ#18-2 “But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15) God in His mysterious way has taken all the lessons and experiences that I have been “Graced” with along my Journey to God and placed a task before me that is a culmination of all little pieces in such a way that I cannot but be totally amazed that God can use so many daily life experiences to Teach us about His Kingdom! We should not however be surprised because God Himself Promised to reveal Himself to us if we search for Him with all our heart and in this study of the Jesus Questions God has revealed His Plan and demonstrated that He will build our “understanding” one small block at a time but as each block of “understanding” is securely mortared into place and we have taken care to place the block in place using God’s “Level” of Moral Standards, we see that we are building a strong foundation on the “Rock of Ages” and slowly but surely our House of God is taking shape and that is what has been happening as these lessons and my personal involvement with Kingdom Work put all the memory verses and recent lessons together in such a way that I see the “Strong Tower” of Faith where I may be sheltered from the world has been built to a point that I can clearly see God at work and the “Truth of God” being clearly revealed in my daily struggles. The lesson that was really brought out was that on JUNE 27 God introduced what I now at this point of my Journey I believe I can with all confidence declare as the “Cornerstone” of my Faith ——— When I started to give my honest answer to the personal question Jesus asks of everyone: “but who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15) that I could clearly see that all the Holy Spirit has taught me so far is neatly summed up in a single verse, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) Here as I asked myself, “What have I learned about Jesus in my life?” the Holy Spirit brought that verse to me and I can say with all the twists and turns my “Journey” has taken me through, (and I use the word “through” on purpose) that I see and know that Jesus is the “TRUTH” and the “TRUTH OF JESUS IS THE WAY” and it is only through the TRUTH OF JESUS THAT BY FOLLOWING HIS WAY THAT I HAVE TRUE LIFE!!! This JQ#18 Jesus Question is very,very, if not most important question so I am praying as I start this “Deeper Still” Journey into the Truth of God that all who read this will stop at this point of their life and set down some “markers” at this point of their journey to God and seriously consider “Who do you say that Jesus is, to you?” Jesus has very clearly stated “Who” He IS — therefore the question really boils down to a question of belief, and so we must ask ourselves, am I going to believe the “TRUTH” or am I going to keep listening to the lies? Read about the fall and note that even before Eve listened to Satan’s lie that she had already lied to herself, we need to ask ourself, “Am I lying to myself about God?” then go back and read John 14:6 and remember that “Truth will set you free!”
