JESUS IS CALLING ……… WILL YOU ANSWER?

Jesus is calling

As I walked into the waiting area of the train station, I noticed a card with the face of Jesus, which someone had deliberately left on a window in a strategic position. The words on the card read, “He is calling. Will you answer?”

My first reaction was “That’s really nice, maybe some non-Christian will notice and hopefully contemplate giving their lives over to Christ.” Initially, I didn’t think the words on the card were for me. After all, I had already answered Jesus’ call by being an active believing born-again Christian.

Then the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and reminded me that Jesus calls on each of us every single day!



JESUS IS CALLING. WILL YOU ANSWER?

…He calls us daily to come away with him and enjoy a deeper relationship with him.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:8



…He calls us daily to put off the flesh and put on Christ.

You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitudes of your mind; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24



…He calls us to be his ambassadors and to share the gospel to the people in our world.

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:20



…He calls us to put aside timidity and walk in his power.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7



…He calls us to a life full of righteousness, peace, joy and love.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5: 22-23



…He calls us to shine our light into this dark world.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven. Matthew 5:16



He is calling you today!

Will you answer? Will you listen? Will you obey?

24/10/2022

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.2 Peter3:9

The Hands and Feet of Jesus 09/10/2022

Tom Mesing

If you're a Christian, listen to this song carefully. We need to be the hands and feet of Jesus to this world. What we say doesn't matter as much as what we do. Be His hands and feet to someone today....!
Lyrics below:
The hands and feet of Jesus, they walked in Galilee
With love they touched the lepers and they caused the blind to see
As I look around the world, I cannot help but pray
The hands and feet of Jesus are needed so today.

As I was softly praying to the Lord the other day
I said “This world needs Jesus, to You I humbly pray”
And the Lord gave me the answer, He caused my eyes to see
The hands and feet of Jesus, He gave them both to me.

The hands and feet of Jesus, they’re needed so today
So many do not see Him, how can they find His way?
Lord, help me to be Jesus to someone here I pray
May the hands and feet of Jesus do their work today.

The hands and feet of Jesus belong to me and you
So, let’s be kind to others in all we say and do
For if they see Him in us, the world can find the way
And the hands and feet of Jesus can do their work today.

The Hands and Feet of Jesus If you're a Christian, listen to this song carefully. We need to be the hands and feet of Jesus to this world. What we say doesn't matter as much as what w...

Come and Drink from the Fountain 09/10/2022

The Bible makes it very clear that there is a time coming when you won’t be able to be saved. Jesus said, night cometh when no man can work. These are the end times, the time of great tribulation, when God will pour out his wrath and judgement on an unbelieving world that will refuse him to the end.
So come now, come to the fountain and drink. Seek the Lord whilst he may be found. Tomorrow may be too late.

Lou Fellingham: Treasure - Lyrics 14/05/2022

Treasure�by Lou Fellingham

Album: Treasure

We have this treasure from the Lord our God,�A gift of mercy from His hand�His all surpassing power at work in us�To show His Glory and His plan�For He has offered Hope to all mankind�Through sending Jesus to the cross�And now this light he's shone into our hearts�We're holding out to all the world�Now with His power in us we'll reign in life�With eyes of faith we'll move ahead�The Spirit helps and strengthens us each day�Confirming our eternal place�Our confidence is not our ability�Nor in the earthly strength that we hold�But in His grace He takes the fragile things�To show the greatness of His love�We will sing out, we will proclaim�The wonder and joy of His endless grace�Drawing us on till Jesus comes again�To take His people home�No longer living for this passing life;;; �We'll fix our eyes on what is sure�There is a heavenly place prepared for us�That will not ever fade or spoil�So we will walk the path you have given us�In full obedience and with faith�For when the road is tough we will not lose heart�But keep on trusting in His name

Living in a Fallen World - Banner of Truth UK 02/04/2022

The Bible is full of remarkable statements. One of the most remarkable is 1 Peter 2:17. Peter is instructing Christians how to live in an essentially Godless, anti-Christian society. He writes, ‘Honour everyone. Love the brothers. Fear God. Honour the emperor’. This is surely remarkable. Love the brothers and fear God we can readily understand; but honour ‘everyone’ and especially ‘the emperor’? The emperor in question was probably Nero, the fanatically anti-Christian megalomaniac. Honour him? God’s word can be deeply unsettling.

You do not need much imagination to see how relevant Peter’s words are to Christians in the UK today. We live in an increasingly hostile, anti-Christian, really anti-Christ, nation. Christian values are trampled on and Christian beliefs mocked and penalised. It is not fanciful that in the near future, preachers will be arrested for proclaiming the absolute uniqueness of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and for teaching the moral ethics of God’s word. Thus it was, and worse, in the days when Peter wrote, ‘Honour everyone. Honour the emperor’.

This leaves us asking the question, How are Christians to live today in post Christian, anti-Christian Britain?

First, humbly confident that the Lord God omnipotent reigns . I don’t mean, of course, that we should not grieve deeply over the tragic state of our nation. Nor do I mean that Christians should not repent and cry out to the Lord. With Daniel we should always be saying, ‘Lord, we have sinned and done that which is evil in your sight’. But, in the midst of our moral and spiritual tragedies, our God reigns. He has not been caught unawares by the sin that scars the face of our nation. Wonderfully, if mysteriously to us, he ordains all that comes to pass and does so sinlessly, wisely, and purposefully. God’s sovereignty is a gloriously comforting truth.

Second, absolutely assured that the Saviour will not lose one of the sheep for whom he died. Nothing and no-one can hinder our Lord Jesus from saving and bringing safely to glory his blood-bought Bride. Is this not a glorious truth, a reassuring truth, and above all a cause to praise our God no matter the circumstances that defile and deface our nation?

Third, seeing the enemies of God and the gospel as men and women God loves and holds out his arms to save (Ezek.33:11). God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He even pleads with them to lay aside their enmity, to repent and come to his Son Jesus Christ. God is rich in mercy and so also must his people be. We are to love our enemies and do them good and not harm. We are to pray for them and go out of our way to win them to Christ.

Fourth, remembering that we were all once children of God’s wrath like the rest, until he had mercy on us (Eph.2:3-4). You and I were once dead in trespasses and sins. We were blinded by the God of this world to the light of the gospel of the glory of God in Christ.

Fifth, remembering that it is God the sovereign Lord who raises up and who brings down. David Cameron and Barak Obama and Vladimir Putin are where they are not ultimately because they were voted into power, but because the living God appointed them to their respective positions. The most high God rules in the kingdoms of men, so the Bible assures us. History is not ultimately shaped by the wicked deeds of bad men, though they are absolutely culpable for their actions. But behind the wicked deeds of bad men ‘a deeper magic’ is at work (for those of you who know C. S. Lewis).

So, how are Christians to live in a fallen world? Humbly, holily, confidently, and prayerfully. Evil has its day, a day appointed by God. But one day God will bring all evil to an ultimate account, cast the devil and all who are his into the eternal fire that will never die, and gather his believing people into his eternal glory. ‘Honour everyone. Love the brothers. Fear God. Honour the emperor (PM, President, or whoever).

Battle Belongs"

When all I see is the battle
You see my victory
When all I see is the mountain
You see a mountain moved
And as I walk through the shadow
Your love surrounds me
There's nothing to fear now
For I am safe with You

So when I fight I'll fight on my knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I'll sing through the night
Oh God the battle belongs to You

And if You are for me
Who can be against me (yeah)
For Jesus there's nothing
Impossible for You
When all I see are the ashes
You see the beauty (thank You God)
When all I see is a cross
God You see the empty tomb

So when I fight I'll fight on my knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I'll sing through the night
Oh God the battle belongs to You

Almighty Fortress You go before us
Nothing can stand against
The power of our God
You shine in the shadow
You win every battle
Nothing can stand against
The power of our God

You win every battle
Nothing can stand against
The power of our God

Creation Song 02/04/2022

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20)

Creation itself testifies about its Creator. King David said in the Psalms, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Ps. 19:1). It is impossible to live on this planet without recognizing God, as nature is proof to His existence.

By observing how specific and exact the interworkings of creation are, one can only come to the conclusion that there is a God. This is by design.

This Psalm goes on to say, “Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard" (Ps. 19:1-3). Creation’s voice goes out and translates into every known and spoken language. What it is revealing is the glory and majesty of God. By observing how specific and exact the interworkings of creation are, one can only come to the conclusion that there is a God. This is by design.

God’s glory is displayed by the things around us. His invisible qualities, eternal power, and divine nature are shown to us in how we are made, the world in which we live, and the universe surrounding us. Because God has made himself clearly known through the creation of our universe, humankind is without an excuse before Him.

Instead of looking to human wisdom to make sense of life whether through books, knowledge, or the pursuit of understanding. Today, it is my prayer that we will take a moment to observe how unique and beautiful the fingerprint of God is in our lives and the world in which we live. I pray this leads us to praising Him for how wonderful He has made everything for us for revealing himself to us by creation.

Does Jesus Pilot your Ship

Jesus Pilots My Ship

The Soul of Man is like a Ship that sails on the sea of time.

The Storms may come, winds may blow and rock this ship of mine.

But the reason my ship has never sank and today it's still afloat

My compass is His Precious Word and Jesus Pilots my boat.

I won't sail the stormy seas no more unless Jesus leads the way.

I won't ever drift so far from the shore I can't hear what he has to say

I belong to a fleet that sails today on a Glorious one-way trip

We'll land safely on shore to sail no more for Jesus Pilots my ship.

My ship pulled into safety's port my stern was torn apart.

The bow of her vessel was so badly crushed sin's waters flooded my heart

I had drifted along on life's angry waves with my cargo of fear and despair.

I called on His name & He lifted the blame, now He Pilots my ship everywhere.

OH Gracious Jesus 04/01/2022

We know not the hour or the day when He will return, nor the day He will call us home, are we ready?

Psalm 39:4-13
4 “ LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. 5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Interlude 6 We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. 7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. 8 Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me. 9 I am silent before you; I won’t say a word, for my punishment is from you. 10 But please stop striking me! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand. 11 When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. Interlude 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD ! Listen to my cries for help! Don’t ignore my tears. For I am your guest— a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. 13 Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more.

OH Gracious Jesus Hold me so close to Thee and show me Thy way,That I may walk in the light of your goodness all of my day,Forgive me of sin my Lord, have mercy on meThank you...

Who was John Owen

https://johnowen.org/about/

Quotes from John Owen

“Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror; yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.”
― John Owen, Mortification of Sin

“To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.”
― John Owen
1
“Holiness is nothing but the implanting, writing and living out the gospel in our souls”
― John Owen, The Holy Spirit

“The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.”
― John Owen, Communion with the Triune God

“There is no way of deliverance from the state and condition of being in the flesh, but by the Spirit of Christ.”
― John Owen, Mortification of Sin

“When we realize a constant enemy of the soul abides within us, what diligence and watchfulness we should have! How woeful is the sloth and negligence then of so many who live blind and asleep to this reality of sin. There is an exceeding efficacy nad power in the indwelling sin of believers, for it constantly inclines itself towards evil. We need to be awake, then, if our hearts would know the ways of God. Our enemy is not only upon us, as it was with Samson, but it is also in us.”
― John Owen, Sin and Temptation

“be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it while you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
― John Owen, Overcoming Sin and Temptation

“The choicest believers, who are assuredly freed from the condemning power of sin, ought yet to make it their business all their days to mortify the indwelling power of sin.”
― John Owen, Mortification of Sin

“He that hath slight thoughts of sin never had great thoughts of God.”
― John Owen

“Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.”
― John Owen, The Holy Spirit

“Let, then, thy soul by faith be exercised with such thoughts and apprehensions as these: “I am a poor, weak creature; unstable as water, I cannot excel. This corruption is too hard for me, and is at the very door of ruining my soul; and what to do I know not. My soul is become as parched ground, and an habitation of dragons. I have made promises and broken them; vows and engagements have been as a thing of nought. Many persuasions have I had that I had got the victory and should be delivered, but I am deceived; so that I plainly see, that without some eminent succour and assistance, I am lost, and shall be prevailed on to an utter relinquishment of God. But yet, though this be my state and condition, let the hands that hang down be lifted up, and the feeble knees be strengthened. Behold, 32the Lord Christ, that hath all fulness of grace in his heart, all fulness of power in his hand, he is able to slay all these his enemies. There is sufficient provision in him for my relief and assistance. He can take my drooping, dying soul and make me more than a conqueror.33 ‘Why sayest thou, O my soul, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint,’ Isa. xl. 27–31. He can make the ‘dry, parched ground of my soul to become a pool, and my thirsty, barren heart as springs of water;’ yea, he can make this ‘habitation of dragons,’ this heart, so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations, to be a place for ‘grass’ and fruit to himself,” Isa. # # . 7. So God staid Paul, under his temptation, with the consideration of the sufficiency of his grace: “My grace is sufficient for thee,” 2 Cor. xii. 9. Though he were not immediately so far made partaker of it as to be freed from his temptation, yet the sufficiency of it in God, for that end and purpose, was enough to stay his spirit. I say, then, by faith, be much in the consideration of that supply and the fulness of it that is in Jesus Christ, and how he can at any time give thee strength and deliverance. Now, if hereby thou dost not find success to a conquest, yet thou wilt be staid in the chariot, that thou shalt not fly out of the field until the battle be ended; thou wilt be kept from an utter despondency and a lying down under thy unbelief, or a turning aside to false means and remedies, that in the issue will not relieve thee. The efficacy of this consideration will be found only in the practice.”
― John Owen, Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers

“When the Holy Spirit does his work of regeneration in the hearts of men he does not come on them with great powerful feelings and emotions which cannot be resisted. He does not possess men as evil spirits take possession of their victims.”
― John Owen, The Holy Spirit

“Believers obey Christ as the one whom our obedience is accepted by God. Believers know all their duties are weak, imperfect, and unable to abide in God's presence. Therefore they look to Christ as the one who bears the iniquity of their holy things, who adds incense to their prayers, gathers out all the weeds from their duties and makes them acceptable to God.”
― John Owen, Communion with God

“Sin also carries on its war by entangling the affections and drawing them into an alliance against the mind. Grace may be enthroned in the mind, but if sin controls the affections, it has seized a fort from which it will continually assault the soul. Hence, as we shall see, mortification is chiefly directed to take place upon the affections.”
― John Owen, Sin and Temptation

“No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.”
― John Owen, The Glory Of Christ

“Would a soul continually eye His everlasting tenderness and compassion...[then] it could not bear an hour's absence from Him; whereas now, perhaps, it cannot watch with him one hour.”
― John Owen, Communion with the Triune God

“Sin does not only still abide in us, but is still acting, still laboring to bring forth the deeds of the flesh. When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone; but as sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be the most quiet, and its waters are for the most part deep when they are still, so ought our contrivances against it be vigorous at all times and in all conditions, even where there is least suspicion.”
― John Owen

“Sin aims always at the utmost; every time it rises up to tempt or entice, might it have its own course, it would go out to the utmost sin in that kind. Every unclean thought or glance would be adultery if it could; every covetous desire would be oppression, every thought of unbelief would be atheism, might it grow to its head. Men may come to that, that sin may not be heard speaking a scandalous word in their hearts - that is, provoking to any great sin with scandal in its mouth; but yet every rise of lust, might it have its course, would come to the height of villainy: it is like the grave that is never satisfied.”
― John Owen, Mortification of Sin

“Do not seek to empty your cup as a way to avoid sin, but rather seek to fill it up with the Spirit of life, so there is no longer room for sin.”
― John Owen, Overcoming Sin and Temptation
“Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“Let not man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts.”
― John Owen, Mortification of Sin
tags: mortification-of-sin
“A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.”
― John Owen

“Let faith look on Christ in the gospel as he is set forth dying and crucified for us. Look on him under the weight43 of our sins, praying, bleeding, dying; bring him in that condition into thy heart by faith; apply his blood so shed to thy corruptions: do this daily.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of sin

25/09/2021

Many people are asking, “Is the Lord going to return soon?” Maybe we should ask another question. Maybe we should ask what we are to do until He returns.

I say that because that’s what Jesus spoke about. When He talked with his disciples, Jesus talked about what they should be doing until He did return.

Scripture seems to say we should be living in readiness .
Jesus told His disciples to “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning” (Luke 12:35)

He also told his disciples, “Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes” (Luke 12:37).

25/09/2021

We are not to know when our Lord will return but we are to read the signs.
However it is from the scriptures that we must draw our answers, you may wish to look them up in the KJV.

One scripture that reassures us
Psalm 91:1-16
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ...”
