Mine, Too

 

1 JOHN 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. 

    When I attended a revival in my previous church, God filled me with His Holy Spirit. Out of my soul came this beautiful song...in a different tongue, a heavenly language. And I saw this image in me:

    I became a mountain that blew it's top, but instead of fire, out of me came music; rivers and streams of music flowed out of me and down the sides of this mountain. God is still filling me and bringing the music He placed within me out of me. 

    Lately, though, it feels more like trickles of music: bits and pieces of song. The music is in me, the lyrics are in me. The mountain appears to be silent, but deep within the music is building and a crescendo is on the rise --- within me. 

    How do I know this? I am The Lord's: He tells me I belong to Him, that what He is doing in me is for His glory and my benefit. Even now The Lord is with me and He whispers, "You belong to Me. I am your God and your Lord. I am your Shepherd, I will protect you; just stay near Me. I am your Father and you King. I comfort you in this place and I will return to bring you home with Me. You are Mine, too. More than all of nature and its beauty, which I created, you are Mine, too. I love you and I am right here with you in this resting place. Stay near Me. It's getting darker outside and the wolves are closing in. Stay near Me, for you belong to Me."

    John 1:12, 13

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

    1 John 5:5

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is The Son of God?

 I BELONG TO JESUS

Daniel 2:20-22

TIME BELONGS TO GOD

Psalm 31:15 

Everything we are, all that we have, belongs to God. Denying these facts, as well as denying God, does not refute God's Authority. 

Recognition of God's Authority is a start. 

A thankful heart for God's blessings is a start. 

Receiving God's greatest blessing, salvation through Jesus Christ, 

His only begotten Son, is a start. 

Being transformed from who we were into who we will become is all the middle ground in-between this life and death journey we are on. For time belongs to God and how we spend the time God allots us is up to us. 
Are we filling our days being obedient to God? 
Are we filling our days with acts of worship to God? 

Are we filling our days with prayer to our God? 

Are we  filling our days with resting in His Word? 

Everything we have and everything we are

BELONGS TO GOD.

I am His and He is mine. 

The Lord Is Mine

 

THE LORD IS MINE 

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved.

I am a whosoever. 

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want (lack). 

Isaiah 40:11  He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.

John 10:11  “I am The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep."

I am His sheep because I am a whosoever. The Lord is Mine. Is He your Lord? Are you a whosoever? Do you want to be a whosoever? 

It's really very simple. 

A=Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, that He was buried and then rose on the third day. 

B=Believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. Read The Word every day and study it for yourself. Never take it for granted that what someone is telling you is in the Bible is really in the Bible: people lie to benefit themselves and to keep others from knowing the valuable Truth that is found in God's Word. 

C=Confess our sins to God and ask His help to stop doing those things He says not to do and to do the things He wants us to do. This is called repentance. Continuing to trust God every day and being faithful in our daily walk is a process called The Holiness Way. For us to grow in Christ everyday we need God's Holy Spirit. We need to ask Him for guidance on how to live a righteous life now while we have breath that we may see God and live when we die. 

This is the basic alphabet of salvation in Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” 

These are the verses we read and understand to know that we are sinners who need saving. Make no bones about it: we are ALL sinners. If someone says they have never sinned, they are a LIAR, for God's Word is Faithful and True and He tells us that we are ALL sinners, we ALL need Jesus to save us. Would you rather be a fool or a saint?

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 5:6 But God commendeth His love His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Romans 10:9-10, 13 That if you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ~ For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved. 

Isn't it time for you to be a whosoever? 

NO OTHER NAME 

BELONG TO YOU
