Ye Must Be Born Again

 - January 1, 2014

“Ye must be born again,” thus saith the Lord Jesus Christ,

In the darkness of the night came Nicodemus seeking the truth.

His heart was blind, and his mind was greatly troubled by the words of Jesus,

for he knew He was from God, yet he knew not that He was the Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ said these words unto the troubled mind of Nicodemus.

Except a man be born again he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus’s blinded mind and heart reasoned with his troubled mind these words,

how can a man be born again when he is old and reenter his mother’s womb.

The Lord Jesus Christ saith these words to Nicodemus’s blinded heart.

Truly, Truly, ye must be born again by the Word of God.

Truly, Truly, ye must be born again by the Holy Ghost.

For there is only one-way into the kingdom of God, “Ye must be born again.”

The Lord Jesus Christ saith these words to Nicodemus’s blinded heart.

Truly, Truly, that which is born of flesh is the natural birth.

Truly, Truly, that which is born of the Spirit is a spiritual birth,

for there is only one-way into the kingdom of God, “Ye must be born again.”

“Marvel not, – “Ye must be born again,” thus saith The Lord Jesus Christ.

The wind is a mystery, it blows, is heard, unknown is its source or destiny.

The Holy Spirit is a mystery; It reveals the truth of God’s Word,

and convicts the sinner of sin, and quickens the soul of man into a new creature.

Oh! Sinners come unto God’s throne of Grace with a broken heart,

cast thyself at the feet of Jesus Christ with tears of repentance,

cry out Oh! God be merciful unto me for I am a sinner and far from you.

Holy Spirit I repent of my sins indwell me reconcile me unto God.

His truth will guide His own if they are walking with Him each day.

He Proclaimed That We Are Of The Truth.

That His own know that we are of the truth,

and that His own are walking in the truth daily,

and that His own love each other in the truth.

The Destinies Of Mans Resurrections

 - January 1, 2014

The Spoken Words of God’s Son Are Settled In Heaven.

Saying he that believeth on Me hath everlasting life and shall not die.

Saying he that believeth not on Me hath eternal condemnation,

and shall not see life only the torments of the Lake of Fire

The Spoken Words of God’s Son Are Settled In Heaven.

Saying these words, Marvel not the hour is coming,

when all of mankind who are in the graves will hear my voice,

whether it is under the sea, or below the earth will come forth.

The Spoken Words of God’s Son Are Settled In Heaven.

Saying these words some unto to the resurrection of life,

many will come forth. “unto the resurrection of damnation.”

It is your free will choice my dear friend for God lets you decide.

The Spoken Words of God’s Son Are Settled In Heaven.

Will it be your choice to hear on Resurrection morn soon to come?

To hear the voice of the archangel inviting you into heaven,

to hear the trumpet of God calling you before the judgment seat.

To hear the shout of the Lord  “saying come up hither.”

To come forth from the grave unto the resurrection of life,

in a glorified body like the Lord Jesus Christ and live forever in Heaven.

The Spoken Words of God’s Son Are Settled In Heaven.

My dear friend if you reject God’s Son as your Saviour.

sad to say, “the resurrection of damnation awaits you.

You will stand before God at the Great White Throne Judgment Seat,

there the books will be opened and you will be judged from them.

If your name is not written in the book of life in the blood of Jesus,

my dear friend you are destined for the Lake of Fire to be tormented for all eternity.

The Dark Hours In the Tomb

 - January 1, 2014

My mind is deeply troubled

I know not why the reason escapes me.

As I think upon the passing of a loved one.

When will the cold specter of death touch me?

When will my heart beat for the last time?

For I know I am just one heartbeat away from eternity.

I put those dark thoughts out of my mind for a time.

But those thoughts haunt me where am I going to spend eternity.

Then I heard of the most mysterious story about God’s Son.

Who voluntarily allowed the specter of death to bind Him?

There in that dark cold tomb, bound by the cords of death lay God’s Son.

Then for three days and nights, the greatest spiritual battle raged between God and Satan.

In those dark hours in the tomb the specter of death held,

God’s Son the Lord Jesus Christ in its cold icy grip of death,

knowing no flesh since Adam had ever escaped its icy grip,

except those that were taken up into heaven so willed by God.

The demons were dancing with glee knowing victory was in their grip.

Now at God’s appointed time God’s Son the Lord Jesus Christ,

burst from that dark tomb on the first day of the week victor,

over death, hell and the grave as God had promised in His Holy Word.

The Lord Jesus Christ God’s Son fulfilled that promise by His own death.

Hastened to save me from the icy cold hand of the Specter of Death.

May this be the cry of those who have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ,

as their Saviour for Jesus said these words I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

That if the specter of death touches me I will not be in its icy grip in the grave.

For upon resurrection morn when the trumpet sounds I will be like Jesus.

I will burst forth from the grave and death and go up into Heaven,

and be with the Lord Jesus Christ in my mansion in heaven for all eternity.

The Dark Hours of Calvary

 - January 1, 2014

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

The emblem of suffering and shame.

Where my Saviour nailed my sins to His Cross.

So that, as I stand before God I might not suffer shame.

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

Where they nailed my Savior’s hands to that Crossbeam.

Where they nailed my Savior’s feet to the post.

He said “Father forgive them for they not what they do.”

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

Where my Saviour gave grace to a dying malefactor.

Where my Saviour provided loving care for Mary who bore Him.

Saying to the disciple who stood by “Care for my mother.”

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

The shades of darkness at high noon enveloped the landscape.

Where my Saviour drank the bitter cup of my sins,

and became sin who knew no sin.

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

As the shades of darkness enveloped the landscape.

My Saviour cried out “My God My God why hast thou forsaken me.”

He was forsaken of God so that I might not be forsaken of Him.

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

My Saviour cried out “I thirst” and they gave Him vinegar to drink.

But our Saviour flowing from the throne grace gives,

those living waters, to whom whosoever will call upon Him.

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

My Saviour cried out to His Father in Heaven. “It is finished.”

My Saviour had paid the supreme sacrifice of giving His life,

so that I might have life eternal in His life.

There On a Hill Far Away Stood That Old Rugged Cross

My Saviour said these words to His Father in Heaven.

“Father into thine hands I commend my Spirit.”

My Saviour suffered death so that I might not suffer the second death.

With tear stained cheeks I humbly stand before that empty Cross,

and with heartfelt gratitude for those dark hours of Calvary,

on that Old Rugged Cross an emblem of suffering and shame.

The Dark Hours of Humiliation

 - January 1, 2014

The Dark Hours Of Humiliation So Willed By God.

Had come upon God’s only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

Where vile wicked men would vent their entire pent up wrath upon God’s Son,

little did they know it was God Himself incarnate in Jesus Christ.

They Only Knew Jesus Christ Claimed He Was From God.

This caused these vile wicked men to vent all their hatred towards God’s Son.

For three year’s they had been put in their place repeatedly by God’s Son.

God’s Son had been betrayed in the Garden and His own had forsaken Him.

Yet He Opened Not His Mouth In The Dark Hours Of Humiliation.

When they bound His hands in fetters as an imposter in the Garden and led Him away.

They blindfold Him, and with their fists struck Him on the face repeatedly until,

His eyes were closed, His nose was blooded, and His face was so swollen until,

His visage was so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of man were.

As these vile wicked men poured out all their pent up fury from the past three years.

Yet He Opened Not His Mouth In The Dark Hours Of Humiliation.

When they crowned His Scared head with a fashioned Crown of Thorns.

With all their pent up fury they smote the inch long thorns with a reed.

Repeatedly they struck Him until rivulets of blood streamed down into His beard.

Matted with heathen spittle from the mouths of wicked vile men.

As these vile wicked men poured out all their pent up fury from the past three years.

Yet He Opened Not His Mouth In The Dark Hours Of Humiliation.

When they stripped His garments to the waist and lashed his hands to a whipping post.

Then they took a Roman whip of nine tails laced with broken glass, and jagged pieces of iron and bone,

and scourged Him with 39 lashes and with every stroke of the whip His flesh was torn to bloody shreds.

As these vile wicked men poured out all their pent up fury from the past three years.

Yet He Opened Not His Mouth In The Dark Hours Of Humiliation.

When those wicked men mocked Him and spat in His face repeatedly and stripped,

of His bloody garments and placed a purple robe upon and bowed their knee,

saying, “Behold the King of the Jews” as they faced a crowd who cried Crucify Him.

As these vile wicked men poured out all their pent up fury from the past three years.

Yet He Opened Not His Mouth In The Dark Hours Of Humiliation.

The one and only true God could have opened His mouth and called,

legions of angels down and destroyed whom he so will but He did not.

We owe our Saviour our God a debt of gratitude that we can never pay.

But we can love Him with all our heart and serve Him with all our soul until we are called home.

The Dark Hours of Gethsemane

 - January 1, 2014

The dark hours of Gethsemane foreordained by God had come,

where God’s Son would face untold agony and sorrow alone.

The sorrowful darkness for God’s Son at length had come.

He knew He would be forsaken by all and was too face this hour alone.

As He faced this hour alone His soul became greatly troubled,

and He became exceedingly sorrowful in that hour alone,

as He agonized in prayer, His soul became more troubled.

As He prayed thrice in the dark hours of Gethsemane alone.

In the fervency of His prayer, His strength was soon gone,

He began to sweat as it were great drops of blood falling,

to the ground as He lay with garments soaked with His blood.

His strength was gone as He prayed to His Father in Heaven alone

                                             He could have called down legions of angels from Heaven,

but only one angel came down to strengthen Him in that sorrowful hour,

as the entire heavenly host watched from the Portals of Heaven that sorrowful scene.

As He fervently prayed thrice in the darkest of hours to His Heavenly Father alone.

As God’s Son prayed thrice-in fervent prayer, he sought not His will but His Fathers,

saying in His fervent prayer nevertheless thy will be done to His heavenly Father,

if it is thy will I must drink this bitter cup of the worlds sin it is my will to drink it.

As He prayed surrendering His will to His Fathers will in those darkest of hours alone.

Where would I be if it was not for the darkest of hours in the Garden of Gethsemane?

Where my Saviour suffered so greatly in agonizing prayer for the world and for me alone.

Surrendering His will to drink the bitter cup of my sins and the world in Gethsemanealone.

This He did in the lonely dark hours of Gethsemane for the world and for me alone.

So that I would not suffer the agonizing torments in the lake of fire for eternity.

I praise God from the depths of my soul for loving me so very much.

The scarlet thread of my saviours sufferings. In the valley of decision

 - January 1, 2014

In my heart, I see my precious Saviour kneeling there in the Garden of suffering.

In the valley of decision, He prays with all the fervency of His soul.

For His precious soul was sorely troubled and exceedingly sorrowful,

until my Sweet Saviour began to sweat as it were great drops of blood,

until His garments became awash with His own Divine blood.

With His blood falling to the ground so that the ground became blood soaked.

 Weakened so much that an Angel came down from Heaven to strengthen Him,

 for all the Hosts of Heaven were watching from the Portals of Heaven.

For my sweet Saviour knew it would cost Him dearly,

 when He drank, that bitterest of all cups,

 the cup of all man’s sins past and present and future sins.

He knew He would lose the presence of His Heavenly Father,

when He drank that bitterest of all cups all of mans filthy sins.

 In His Humanity, He knew His heavenly Father would forsake Him,

during the darkest of hours there on a tree on Mt Calvary.

Yet, My Sweet Saviour said these words:

“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:

Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

My sweet Saviour there in the Valley Decision surrendered His will to do the will of His Heavenly Father.

May we by the Grace of God in our Valley Of Decision say these words from the very depths of our heart?

Saying, Father if thou be willing remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will but thine, be done.

It might be the bitter cup of fiery trials of suffering of untold pain and anguish.

It might be the cup of separation from loved ones on some foreign field of service.

It might be the cup of poverty through loss of job due to economic events beyond our control.

May we say no matter what it might cost me, say “nevertheless, I will drink my cup” as God’s Son said.

There in the Dark Valley of Decision during His dark hours in Gethsemane.

Where would we be if He did not drink His bitter cup of our sins according to His Fathers will?

What will we lose if we do not drink our bitter cup there in the valley of decision?

For what will we lose at the judgment seat of Christ on our judgment day as these words say?

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it,

because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Yes, will you have my dear brother any rewards to lay before our Lord our righteous judge?

Or my dear brother will you be naked and ashamed with no crowns to lie before our Lord our righteous judge?
