Be Saved By The Blood Of Jesus to go to Heaven

Everyone may not agree with me on this topic, but it is my firm belief and personal conviction that this is the only way enter into the gates of Heaven.  This is something I believe - Every person is born with this truth in there hearts and at some point in there lives they are faced with a decision. 

If you are reading this right now - Then you are being presented with a decision.  This decision will be the biggest decision you can ever make as well as the easiest.  I say this because Jesus made going to heaven an easy decision.  People make it a hard one. 

For some reason some people think they have to work there way into heaven.  Some people think you have to do miraculous things to be able to go to heaven.  The simple truth is you have to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.  This means you have to know you are a sinner (lets not get this mixed up with being a bad person) just because you are a good person doesn't mean you are not a sinner.  Every person believe it or not is a sinner and we have to realize this.  You have to be willing to turn away from your sins and turn to Christ. 

This means to accept Christ as your heavenly father and having a relationship with him much like you would have with with your own Father or like you would want your children to have with you.  This is done by prayer.  You can have a everyday relationship with Christ because he is always there for you.  You can pray any time and he will lead you in your life in the right direction. 

Life is not perfect even if you are saved, but having Jesus in your life will make your life burden lite.  In the next days to come I will go into more details on this and back it up with the Bible.  Don't put your life in mans hands - Put your life in the hands of the Heavenly fathers Hands.

Jesus - What do I need to do for Jesus?

I apologize for being away for a while.  Things have been very busy lately.  Ive been learning a lot lately.  Sometimes the things that Jesus wants us to do for him is right under our noses.  Man how hard can we make something so simple.  I prayed that Jesus would open doors so I could start doing for him.  After all Jesus has done for me all my life.  If you question this in your own life - Just think back at all the things that happened to you & how so many things have worked out even though it could have gone the wrong way.  Look at having children.  How is it possible to have a child without GOD being involved.  Look around you at the living world around you.  How can all this be ?? Some say there was a big bang and then everything just started evolving.  Well this just doesn't hold water.  If you look at science - just look it up on Google and see all the studies that support that the world is only 5000 - 6000 old.  If it were 10 million years old there would be so many people we couldn't walk.  Anyway thats a story for another day.  Back to doing for Jesus.  Some people see doing for Jesus has to be done in the church.  Well I say if you have children - start there.  Talk to your children, talk to them about the hard stuff.  Talk to them about drinking, drugs and talk to them about sex ! You will be surprised at what you may uncover once you have a trusting relationship with them.  I finally found that when I started the talks with my sons and I brought up the hard questions (not them) they started to open up.  Man how Jesus put me to work just with my own two sons.  They will openly talk to me now.  After school everyday we talk about the things other people have said or done and we talk about how it makes them feel.  Even as Christians we feel the pressures of life and even desire to do wrong, but Jesus wants us to have strength through him.  If we start to stand up and not do all the things the world expects of us them we will in turn show others to have the same strengths through Jesus.  If you read this and are not saved - Please follow my post.

What to do when Temptation knocks on your door

Well I have always fallen to temptation.  It seems like every time temptation comes my way I just stumble and fall right into it.  It seems like I just can't help myself.  Do you ever feel this way?  You make a commitment to Christ and you try so hard to do all the right things and then something you have a weakness for comes along and you just can't stop yourself.  Well that is my fear because Ive always fallen to the temptations of the world.  It gets worse when I get mad or stressed. Seems like things that trigger my anger breaks me down somehow and I start to fall away from Christ and start looking for something that will make me feel better.  I guess I just don't think that Jesus is going to make me feel better.  Or better yet I just don't give him the chance.  Well Im going to give him the chance now - and I encourage anyone who may read these rambling post of mine to try and do the same.  Let me know what you think about this good or bad.  I can take the criticism. 

Prayer Time - When is it best to pray?

This morning when I woke up I prayed in the bed before I got up.  While I was praying I felt as though I wasn't giving Jesus the respect he deserved. The reason I felt this way was because I was laying in the bed, not on my knees really giving myself and time to him.  Some people would say that Im too hard on myself and that this is just being to picky about something this trivial.  Well I have to say that to me we are not trivial to Jesus.  We live in a world that basically hated Jesus.  People think that money and position as well as power is everything.  Well the bible says that the meek will inherit the kingdom of God.  I feel like this.   Jesus was born among men and he got beaten and mocked and spit on and hurt in so many ways. At any time he could have stopped it and saved himself, but he suffered and died  anyway.  He even done this in a way that basically cut the chosen people out of the picture and put the gentiles in the picture in a big way.  If it weren't for this act then we the gentiles wouldn't have come to know Jesus in the way that we did.  I try to pray first thing in the morning and anytime I can during the day.  Really I think we should be of one accord with Jesus which would mean that we should be in a sort of prayer all the time.  What do you think ?

What does Jesus expect from us ?

Well after figuring out that my past failures in my walk with Jesus is causing me to feel so agitated. I already know Im setting myself up for failure once again.  Well im 38 years old and its time I took my relationship with Jesus serious.  Here is my problem - I really don't know where to go now.  I want to be that guy that is bold for Jesus. I want to be that guy that isn't afraid to voice my support for Jesus.  Where do I start.  I know some people that are just super cool guys that love Jesus and they don't come across too strong and annoying. I also know guys that are completely aggravating and pushy when it comes to talking about Jesus.  I don't want to be like this.  Am I the only Christian that finds some other Christians too pushy and foward ? 

Failing Jesus Feeling the pressure

Well yesterday I noticed that I have been in a pretty agitated mood lately.  Especially since I have made the decision to give myself to Jesus.  My wife Stefanie and I were washing the car yesterday and I decided to talk to her about it.  She confirmed that I had indeed been acting agitated lately.  This really bothers me because you aren't supposed to feel this way when you dedicate your life to Jesus.  Well after talking about it, we together found that because I have done this before (dedicating my life to Jesus) and every time I have failed in one way or another and just end up back in the same place.  Have you ever felt this way ??

Jesus helps me along the way

Well The last cpl days has been pretty good.  Ive spent more time in prayer and Im trying to follow a regimen reading the bible.  I found a tract from a local Christian radio station at church Wednesday night and it had a simple bible reading outline.  We are helping some teaching the youth and I am so amazed at some of the kids in our class.  God is at work and I think big things are going to happen here.  Ive been active in church before and I usually get my heart involved and this is where I mess up because people always let you down and disappoint you.  So Im going into this involvement carefully this time.  We just have to remember that Jesus is the only one we can usually trust.
