 JESUS IS: Lord God Almighty, Omnipotent King, Lion of Judah, Rock of Ages, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Provider, Protector, Paternal Leader, Ruling Lord and Reigning King of all the universe. He is Father, Helper, Guardian and God. He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End. He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all He keeps. The Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times. He always was, is, and will be: Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone. He was bruised and brought healing. He was pierced and eased pain. He was persecuted and brought freedom. He was dead and brought life. He is risen and brings power. He reigns and brings Peace. The world can't understand Him, the armies can't defeat Him, the schools can't explain Him, and the leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill Him, the Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, the people couldn't hold Him! Nero couldn't crush Him. Hitler couldn't silence Him, the New Age can't replace Him and Ted Turner can't explain Him away! He is light, love, longevity, and Lord. He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God. He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure. His ways are right, His Word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me! His is my redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, He is my peace, He is my Joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord and He rules my life. I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the over-comers, and the sovereign Lord of all that was, is and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size. His goal is a relationship with ME! He will never leave me, forsake me, mislead me, forget me, overlook me, and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book! When I fall, He lifts me up. When I fail, He forgives me. When I am weak, He is strong. When I am lost, He is The Way. When I am afraid, He is my courage. When I stumble, He steadies me. When I am hurt, He heals me. When I am broken, He mends me. When I am blind, He leads me. When I am hungry, He feeds me. When I face trials, He is with me. When I face persecution, He stills me. When I face problems, He comforts me. When I face loss, He provides for me. When I face Death, He carries me Home! He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and in every way. He is God, He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine. My Father in Heaven can whip the father of this world, and so, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this: He said it, and that settles it. God is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul. I read this while i was surfing photobucket. It touched me in a way that I just had to share this with everyone. God is an awesome God. No matter how many times we mess up or turn our backs he is always there. Who wrote this I don't know. But it is awesome.

When i was a small boy, i went to a very small country Babtist Church. And when i say small it was small. On any given sunday if there were 13 people there it was crowded. We always had a new preacher every 6 months or so. And it seemed that their message's were all the same. { God will punish you if you do wrong.} And as i grew up in that church i started believing that i did not want to serve a God like that. How could anyboby serve a God and have to walk around on egg shells. I mean they were Hell Fire and Brimstone sermons. Fist on the bible, pulpit slaming, eyes buldging, red faced sermons. I admit, i was afraid of God. Know i am not afraid of Him anymore. I have a healthy fear of God, but i am not afraid of him. The bible teachs that we should walk boldly into the throne room. Back then it was all God preached. I knew that Jesus died on a cross, He rose again in 3 days, He was born in a manger, and that was about it. God will punish you for that. God is going to get you if you keep doing that. If that were so, then we would be still living in the Old Testament right. Now i am getting the teaching that i should have gotten a long time ago. I mean don't get me wrong, i learned a lot from those preacher's. God bless them because they all had a healthy respect for God. And i believe that i learned a lot from them. But i was never tought that i was covered by the blood, that Jesus died and took on the weight of all the worldly sins. That He died for all our past,present, and future sins. I did not know that we were under the mercy seat. Now i know that God is a merciful God. It is His perfect plan that everyone should come to know Him, and recieve salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Who am I, I am who the bible says I am. A child of God, An heir to the throne, and so, so much more. Some times it is good to get some of that old time preaching, as long as you have a healthy dose of Jesus afterward.
