This Day Ministries

Sin is an assassin. If we do not confess and repent of the sin in our lives, if we hide secret sins away in darkness, eventually they will destroy us and those we love will feel the effects. That’s why God’s grace is so amazing!! When we repent, He forgives and redeems. 1 John 1:9

We seek to be a church like our Lord Jesus.

George Müller read the Bible more than 200 times, 50 on his knees and before his death. When a journalist asked him what he would like to do yet, on his knees he replied: "Read more from the Bible, because I still know little about the excellence of Christ." Müller founded several orphanages and cared for more than 10,000 orphaned children, according to God's promise of Psalm 68: 5 "God is the father of orphans." His followers tell interesting stories about him. Among them, one when Müller prayed in his room, and his fame was already notorious. The Queen of England came to his house, and her maid knocked on the door of his room and said: "Mr. Müller the queen is in the room, wanting to speak to you. And he replied:" Tell the Queen that I cannot do it now, because I am talking to the King of Kings and I will not attend to her. "On another occasion, her orphanage woke up without food for the more than 1,000 orphans at that time. And despair seized all the staff, but Müller said:" I do not ask man for anything, my pact is with God. "He entered his room and prayed:" Father of the orphans, there is a lack of bread. In the name of Jesus. Amen, After a few minutes, several carts of bread passed through the door of the orphanage and the chief said: “Mr. Müller went to deliver these buns to the royal family in the castle, and they said that the buns were too baked and that, in order not to play, we decided to give them to the orphanage.” Müller said: "They were not the loaves that passed the point, but God who answered our prayer and had mercy on we". Müller was a great evangelist. He had an enviable fellowship with Christ and demonstrated the power of faith prayer time and time again. Müller had a notebook in which he had written down more than 50,000 prayers that were answered by God.

Let us remember that when we live in dependence on God, He Himself creates favorable circumstances for us.

As bad as your situation may seem, God will get you out of there at the least expected moment.

So many people are living in a self-imposed prison and what is often the culprit?

Unforgiveness.

Go to www.thisdayministries.org and listen in to today's This Day In The Word radio broadcast "Setting Myself Free By Forgiving Others" and let's see what God's Word has to say.

This Day Ministries This Day Ministries was formed through the inspiration of Joshua 24:14 -15 which says, 14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and din Egypt. Serve the LORD! 15 And if it seems evil to you...

Serious Joy, Cultural Conflict, and Christian Humility: Thoughts on Christian Education True Christian education fills our hearts and minds with a joy so serious and strong that our society loses its power to control where we stand and what we say.

For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you're doing and take this opportunity.

Don't let satan stop this.

At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to death.

At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death of all.
Only the worst criminals were condemned to be crucified.
Yet it was even more dreadful and horrifying for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.

Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails were driven into His wrists. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.
The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and
break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could even breathe.

Both of His feet were nailed together. Meaning He was forced to support his entire body weight on that single nail that impaled His feet to the cross.
Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the intense excruciating pain, forcing him to alternate between arching His back and then using his legs just to be able to breathe deeply painful breaths. Imagine the struggle, the immense pain, the total suffering, and the courage and love.

Jesus endured this hellish nightmare for over 3 hours.

Yes, 3 long hours. Can you even imagine that kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. Only water was pouring from His wounds.

From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large spikes through the wrists, the feet overlapped and an even larger spike hammered through the arches. A Roman guard piercing right through His side with a spear. But even before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten and tortured. The whipping was so severe that it tore chunks of flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that his face was a bloody pulp and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns pushed deeply into His scalp.
Most men would not have even survived this extreme torture.

But He wasn't most men.

He had no more blood to even bleed, only water poured from His wounds.
The human adult body contains about 5.5 liters (about 1.5 gallons) of blood.

Jesus poured out all 5.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His body; a crown of thorns digging deep in His head, and the spear driven into his side and then his chest.

All this without even mentioning the utter humiliation and torture He suffered after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd slapped and spat in his face and threw stones at him, (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight (about 70 pounds) only on its higher part where His hands were to be nailed).

And after all this he still yelled out.. "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Jesus had to endure all of this to open the gates of Heaven,
so that you could be forgiven and set free.

Your sins literally "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this free gift.

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU because you are someone worth dying for.

He died for you! So you could be free from sin and addiction and hell. He has a purpose and a plan for your life.
All you need to do is simply believe in Him and ask him to come into your heart and save you, and set you free from sin and give you a brand new life.
He will give you a peace and joy that the world cannot give.
Do it now and be set free in Jesus name.

Please do this:
1. Pray for the person or ministry that provided or shared this message.
2. Send or share this message to everyone. Someone out there needs to read it.

People will pray for you and many other people will pray for many other people.
Jesus said where 2 or more are gathered in my name, I AM THERE.

3. Take a moment to appreciate what Jesus did for you and remember to never stop trying to be an example of Him in everything you do and say.

He said in (Matthew 10:32 and 33): "Therefore, whoever recognizes me before others, I will recognize him before my father in heaven; but the one who denies me before others, I will deny before my father in heaven."

May God bless your life and make this go viral through the power of the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Others can be loved best when Christ is loved and exalted most. - Jacob Couch

Revival and Awakening Thought for This Day:
Regardless of the pressure to conform to the world, the price for rebelling against God and His Word will be infinitely higher than it will be for obeying it.

Many people are asking God what He has for them, when they first need to be asking God what He wants from them. When God has what he wants from you, He will then reveal what He has for you
