(Chapter 3) “Salvation to the world”

(Matthew 3:1-3NIV) In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”. For this is he who was spoken of by the 'prophet Isaiah' when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to lace; Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire from above." Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John.

(Matthew 3:16-17NIV) And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."

"From that time, Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”." As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. He said to them, "Follow me”, and I will make you 'fishers of men'”. Immediately, they left their nets and followed him.

(John 14:23NIV)Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me he will keep 'my word', and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him".

(John 14:21NIV)"Whosoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and show myself to him."

(Revelation 3:20NIV)"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

The individual human "spirit” is a deeply situated aspect of the soul subject to "spiritual" growth and change; the very seat of emotion and desire, and the transmitting organ by which humans can contact God. In a rare theological definition, it consists of higher consciousness enclosing the soul to God.

Now is come my time to be strong, to show who I truly am! For come from afar; wishing upon a star riding upon the wind, sailing through the sky for God's holy light to be brought into thy sight, for as the wind blows. Let us be blessed by his sight. Be thou strong and of true courage; let us seek his glory from untold stories from above, of Heavens delight. Reach unto the stars and be known of him; hold on! for life is about to pass you by as a whirlwind.

'O' How great thou are; Your Glory fills the heavens! Let us pray that we shall soon take flight unto a land, where the milk and honey flows >>>>> Now shall we gather around God's holy throne! Bow before the one who lives in us. 'O' Father, Your majesty, my King, our God, for He is the self-existing one who inherits eternity. By His word was the world formed. You are the everlasting light and a banner of hope of our salvation, our peace and our joy...

When anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light, for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Love one another. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things they do in secret; for you know them all, Lord!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will!

“Come all ye unto the waters”; for if ye drank of this water ye shall thirst no more! Salvation, 'O' how great thou are: beneath Thine Grace to SAVE ME and YOU! My heart pours, like the rivers of your mercies, unto my soul. Let us walk by faith. Let us seek that which is Holy...Oh, you did not know? Now may you come unto me? For my blood shall pass through thine heart unto me, like a river that never stops flowing!

(1 Peter 1:2-14NIV) Chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy, we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.

Who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days of the Earth? In this, you rejoice, for it is our hope, though now for a little, while you may have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may rebound to praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Christ, for an everlasting hope.

Without having seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him rejoicing with unutterable and exalted joy. As the outcome of your faith, you obtain the salvation of your souls. The prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation; they inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory.

It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves, but, you Lord, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to them through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. Therefore, gird up your minds; be sober, and set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ at the end.

As obedient children, let us seek him this day to love him in all goodness from your hearts and souls. As God parted the water through Moses, sent his son to die on an old rugged cross, and that you and I could go free, love the One in whom is found no guile, no sins, a perfect Savior, Who died for remissions of sins.

Hold fast to the promise of his return unto man, for you and I, 'O' Lord, art worthy of You. Not I! Though I seek you daily in life to know You more and more each and everyday. Let us praise You daily, and daily lifting You up in praise, exalting You on high in every way, dear Lord, 'O' how I Love Thee, Your glory cover the heavens and fills the Earth.

"For now has the sands of time and space between Heaven and Earth been revealed unto man, to know the truth of His great love to mankind and His everlasting promise that He will give to us." Love your enemies; pray for those who hate you and seek to destroy you. Love, even, them. For if God be for us, then who can be against us?

Through His many stripes and our tribulations of life, let us seek him; always unto the end of our time here on this earth, until we gather together to go home to Heaven. 'O' what a glorious day that will be when All the saints go marching in, and we sing a new song unto Him, be blessed in all you do, be sure to do it for God!

'Behold', now have I opened my mouth; my tongue hath spoken from my mouth. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. For the spirit of God hath made me, from his breath of the Almighty, hath given me life. 'Behold', I am according to thy wish in Gods stead, for you and I are also formed out of clay. He is the everlasting Potter!

God wants you to know that whatever fills your heart with gladness is a good thing. Let yourself be filled. There is much joy and beauty in the world if you only open yourself to it. I Am all the joy you will ever need to know, No wine, No beer could ever fill you, no not ever fill you up in happiness like I can.

Be happy in me and I will pick you up and put you back upon a solid ground. You will enjoy the beauty of everything around you and enjoy the simple things in life. I am the influance of love that can not be touched by mortal man breathe in my breath of life and live the momment that I give unto you everyday you live in life.

I Am the still water and the guiding light of the world divine. I Am He that is all I Am your everything! Yes, and I give it all unto you at the momment you except me. Come unto me I will give you compassion and hope forever more.
