TheGraceThatSaves...TheGTS

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing...

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being

disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?

And no dropped calls!

Trust in the Lord and *ASAP (Always Say A Prayer)

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever You're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.
THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death .
At the time Crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst
Criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful 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 wrist. 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 Breath. Both of His feet Were nailed together. Thus He was forced to Support Himself on the single nail that Impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could Not support himself with His legs because of the pain So He was forced to alternate between arching His Back then using his legs just to continue to Breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the Suffering, the courage. Jesus endured this Reality for over 3 hours.
Yes, Over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of Suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water 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 nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped And an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But Before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and Beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the Flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His Face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The Crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men Would not have survived this torture.
He had no more blood To bleed out, only water poured from His Wounds.The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood. Jesus poured all 3.5 Liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His Members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond That, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His Chest.. All these without Mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own Cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his Face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, Only for its higher part, where His hands were Nailed).
Jesus had To endure this experience, to open the Gates of Heaven, So that you can have free Access to God. So that your sins Could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!

"Heavenly Father, I ask You to bless my friends reading this. I ask You to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them; where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your courage.. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen."

"Father In Heaven; Thank-You for a Brand-New-Week! A new start! A New Opportunity. A New Today. A new Chance to Live & Grow into who You are shaping me to Be...I will Use Today for Your Glory in my Life. I will not let Today Use me... In Jesus Name. ~ Amen"

Todays' Word

        Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ... ~2 Corinthians 2:14

And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten-- Joel 2:25

Todays' Thought

        Did you know God was in the Restoration Business? He loves to Fix up broken dreams, replant gardens of hope.... Rebuild bridges to a brighter and bigger future! So Start Planning for a Comeback!

        God promises to always lead us into victory! That means, no matter what you are facing, no matter what's going on in the world around you, no matter what anybody says, you should always be planning for a comeback! A "Restoration"... In the middle of that adversity or tough time, start making your list of who you're going to invite to your victory celebration. You don't have to wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to celebrate what God is going to do in your life.
        Put some action behind your faith. That means if you're in the hospital, start planning what you're going to do when you get out. If you lost some money when the stock market went down, start planning your coming-out-of-debt party.
        Listen; Each act of Obedience shortens the distance to any miracle you are pursuing.....  When things don't look good in the natural, remember, we serve a supernatural God. With God leading you into victory, you can always plan for increase. You can plan for restoration. You can plan for a comeback that will make you stronger and better than you ever were before!

Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks and praise today for the promise of victory. Give me Your vision for the future so that I can move confidently into the abundant life You have for me. In Jesus Name. ~Amen.
