  (Matthew 1:1 thru 3:17)

LIVING FOR JESUS   Daily Prayer    

JESUS, we pray as You instructed us to pray: 

“Our Father who is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread…”

 (Matthew 6:11)

 and we have such confidence in Your Daily Provisions for us that

 we will proclaim as did King David, “The LORD is my shepherd, 

I shall not want…” (Psalm 23:1) Lord Jesus we come humbly 

before You each morning to start our day knowing that You ARE

 what You say You ARE: You Lord Jesus ARE 

“The Way, the Truth, and the Life…” (John 14:6) 

Lord we cannot know Your Truth on our own without “Faith” 

in Your Holy Word and “Trusting” that the “Way” that You have 

so Graciously Promised to daily lead us will produce “Abundant Life” —

 Lord we know that You are good to us because You choose to Love

 us in spite of ourselves and we thank You and give You praise. 

Lord I pray that You and Your Holy Spirit will move me and my selfish

 desires out of the darkness and into YOUR LIGHT!    

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus is a Name that is unlike any other name in history and 

this blog seeks to discover the TRUTH of Jesus because there are some

 very bold and “miraculous” claims associated with the Name of Jesus

 in the Holy Bible! The challenge of this blog is not to provide “proof” 

because this blog does not seek to be neither the “judge” nor the “jury”

 but rather this blog is simply a common ordinary, everyday “Joe”

 that takes the “witness” stand and with my left hand planted firmly

 on the Holy Bible and my right hand raised toward the heavens 

I proudly proclaim before all men, “I swear to tell the TRUTH, 

the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTH, so help me God!” 

I seek no personal secular gain but seek desperately for Spiritual 

guidance to live my life in “peace” and in the many years that I have 

been searching for a “shelter in the storm” I have learned that when

 you find that unexpected umbrella that it is smart to open it up and 

let it protect you from the rain. I stand before you and say that I did

 not expect to find TRUTH in any particular place, person, or philosophy

 because all my previous expectations and explorations of places 

where I “just knew” that TRUTH could be found had landed me in 

some very peculiar predicaments! My “witness” that I share in 

this blog is a daily journal started in 2001 and has continued to the

 present that is the results of the reality of applying the TRUTH that I

 found in a book called the Holy Bible to my daily life — and I can 

document through that daily journal of my journey seeking TRUTH

 that by following God’s instructions found in the Holy Bible I have

 avoided personal spiritual disaster and I know that my 

“deliverance” came not because of anything that I have done! My

 personal efforts are all selfish in nature and have always landed me

 in some form of trouble from which the TRUTH of GOD always has

 to rescue me! The Bible then has given me confidence that the 

Holy Scriptures are the Inspired Word of God and that the

 Holy Scriptures are designed to reveal The TRUTH of GOD. 

In my life and my personal experience, the TRUTH that I have discovered

 in the Holy Bible has been constant and it consistently produces

 successful results in my personal life when I follow the TRUTH 

found in God’s Word. This blog then does not look to “prove” that the

 Word of God is infallible, this blog is simply to document how in 

my personal life the Word of God has proved Itself to me to be infallible

 in the results the WORD OF GOD produces in my personal physical

 and spiritual life and I challenge you to answer for yourself the 

question posed by a man who was desperately seeking answers in

 his life, “What is truth?”. Take any book or any philosophy and search

 for the TRUTH within that book or philosophy and when you apply

 what is proclaimed by that book or philosophy to be the “truth” to your 

own life, you must then “test” your newly discovered “truth”: Ask 

yourself “Is this ‘truth’ actually making an improvement in my personal life?” 

The success or failure will be determined by what you “believe” 

and you must ask yourself and respect yourself by answering 

honestly this very personal question: “Am I willing to bet my life,

 my soul, and my eternity on this newfound ‘truth’ ?” The world 

was telling me loudly and rudely “You can find ‘TRUTH’ 

without God” — but Reality is:

 GOD IS TRUTH!!!  CONCLUSION: NO GOD = NO TRUTH!!! 

I close with the words of a famous country song:

 “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!”  Remember,

 “You are only ‘lying to yourself and living the lie’ if you are not believing

 in and living your life through the TRUTH as TRUTH proves itself 

TO YOU BY THE FRUIT IT PRODUCES IN YOUR DAILY LIFE 

AND DOCUMENTED THROUGH YOUR OWN 

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ———  

ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE!!!!
