Psalm 38:15

"For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. "

Jesus has gone before us and has given us the grace to enter into the throne room of God in our time of need. When we come to the Father of heaven and earth in the name of Jesus we can have our hope in Him for as David said, "thou wilt hear," and we know if the Lord hears us He will answer us. Our hope in the finished work of Jesus Christ is freedom to our souls, to our minds, to know we can approach the Lord God who made heaven and earth and speak to Him.

This my friends is good news. The Good News of Jesus Christ, for He did not leave this world without giving us an eternal hope in Him. How blessed we are to be in a relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and to take hope in Him and all that He has accomplished for us. There is no one my friends who will be closer to you in times of trouble. He knows our hearts, our lives, our situations and He will answer us and comfort us by His Holy Spirit.

Do you have this hope in your heart. Are you free to go to God without guilt or condemnation in your heart. Do you believe and have hope that He will answer you. Is your faith and hope in your good works or in the free gift of grace given to us by and through Jesus Christ. To know this gift of love from Our Father is pretty awesome. I know there was a time in my life I believed I couldn't even approach God, never mind trust Him and hope in Him to change my life, but when I received Jesus Christ, when He revealed Himself to me, my heart was elated. I had met the Savior of this world who tells us to come unto Him, to give Him our burdens, to exchange our robes for His robes. Hallelujah to the Lord God of Israel, the Lord God of heaven and earth, the Lord of your heart and mine. We have reason to praise, reason to sing, reason to love, because we are loved with an everlasting love by THE MOST EXCELLENT ONE, Our Father. We love Him because He first loved us and gave His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.

Receive His love today. Let His Spirit pour His hope into your heart, let Him pour out the love of God in you and around you that you may walk in the joy of knowing Our Savior and Our Friend, Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:1-2

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death."

Jesus has set us free. Free from the law of sin and death. As we journey through this life and walk according to His Spirit we do not need to feel condemned by this world. The blood that Jesus shed has redeemed you and if you have received His forgiveness, than you are forgiven.

There is freedom in Christ. Freedom from the past, freedom from the cares of this world, freedom from anger, hatred, and sin, there is freedom to live and to love and to receive. There is freedom to walk in joy and peace. This freedom came at a price, the price of the blood of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God. We cannot earn it, we will never be good enough for it, it is a gift from God for you and for me this day.

Have you experienced this freedom. Do you know what it is like to cast all your cares upon Him. Do you know what it is to no longer fear death and eternity. Do you know you can begin to walk in this freedom on this earth. We have a Savior, a Friend who will lift the burdens from Your heart and will exchange them for His, for His burden is easy and His yoke is light. Why carry around all that weight when you don't have to?

Give it to Jesus. Let Him fill you with His Spirit this day and everyday that you to may walk not after the flesh but after His Spirit. He loves you my friends. He is not the God waiting to punish but instead the God waiting to forgive and to give you every good and perfect gift from heaven above. Jesus loves you my friends and He proved it at the Cross!

Matthew 7:24-27

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

Jesus gave us His word and when we let that word take root in our heart by meditating on it, speaking it, and believing it we can be assured that no matter what storm comes against us we will continue to stand upon Our Rock and Our Salvation Jesus Christ.

He is our firm foundation and though the world may be shaking around us we can find our peace and rest in Him. He will be our strength and our shield and will cause us to stand even when we think we cannot.

Are you building on the Rock, the firm foundation? Is His word taking root in your heart on good ground and bringing forth much fruit?

I pray this day for you to know with all of your heart the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. I pray for the wisdom to know that His word is truth and it cannot be shaken for God does not change and His word does not return void. His love is from everlasting to everlasting and His mercies are new everyday.

Start building your house today, your temple, your life on His word and believe that when any storm comes your way you will not fall, for your life is in Him, built on His foundation.

Freedom in Christ, without question. When Jesus sets you free with His forgiveness, when He declares your name in heaven you are free, free from the law of sin and death. No longer is there fear about where you will go when you leave this earth, no longer will there be questions in your heart about God's love for you, for Jesus Himself sets you free and no man can ever take that away. What a blessing to know the King of Kings and to know that His word overrides all the lies of the enemy no matter what. As the verse says, "if the Son makes you free, you are free indeed. Thank You Lord for our freedom in You, thank You for making us free indeed. We love you LORD!

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness, The Lord is my portion, "says my soul. Therefore I hope in Him."

Lamentations 3:22-25

We can take great comfort in the verse from Lamentations. Jeremiah cried out to the Lord for God's people, knowing they had sinned greatly against Him. Yet in all that Jeremiah said, He was careful to note the goodness of God, the faithfulness of God and the mercies of God. My friend, no matter what you are going through, no matter how bad you think you may have messed up, God's mercies are new everyday. His compassion is there for you. Just call on the name of Jesus to deliver, save and heal your heart. Know that He will answer you. He will have compassion on You for all the sin requirements have been met through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and because of Jesus, Our Heavenly Father will not turn you away. You are loved with an everlasting love.

Thank You Father God for all You do and for Your Word!

"Because he has set his love upon ME, therefore I WILL DELIVER him; I will set him on high places because he hath known MY name. He shall call upon ME, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him MY salvation."

Psalm 91:14-16

Why will God DELIVER you and me, because we have set our love upon HIM.

Why will He set us on HIGH PLACES? Because we have known His name.

Why will He answer us? Because we will call upon Him.

Why will He deliver us and honor us? Because He says when we are in trouble He will answer. He will give us long life and SHOW US HIS SALVATION!

Thank You Jesus for Your Word, Your promises that are sure and are all YES AND AMEN. Thank you that you will deliver us, you will answer us, you will hear us when we are in trouble and you will give us long life and You will show us Your salvation.

Oh Lord we thank You that because we trust in You, because we set our love upon YOU and no other god, that You promise Lord to deliver us. Lord I thank You that each one that is in a fiery trial will be delivered because You have promised it and that is all we need to know. Your word is true, you are faithful to Your word and You Lord fulfill Your word in our lives.

I thank You for Your deliverance for every person reading this, for their loved ones and for their friends that because they set their love upon You they can expect deliverance in all the lives they are praying for.

We give You praise, honor and glory and we thank You and we declare our LOVE for YOU in all we say and do and with all of our hearts. You are Jesus, You are Precious, You are Lovely, You are Wonderful, You are Awesome,

You are the I AM!

Thank You Father God for all You do and for Your Word!

"And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. "

Isaiah 22:22

Before truly coming to know the Lord our hearts are filled with guilt and shame for our own sins, filled with hurt and anger for things others may have done to us, and possibly full of fear, rejection, insecurity, inadequacies and unforgiveness.

When I looked at this graphic I realized that there is only ONE who could possibly change all that is in our heart to have a heart like His. If we allow Him He takes away the guilt, shame, hurt, anger, unforgiveness, fear, and rejection and He replaces it with love, joy, peace, contentment, acceptance, forgiveness, faith, hope and security in Him.

How amazing is Our Lord to come so gently to us, unlock the door to our hearts, teach us to pour out all that is in there and then fill us up with His love. I know before I let Jesus in I wouldn't let anyone in. I was too afraid to share my heart with anyone, I did not feel safe. The things of this world, the evil of this world has caused many to shrink back and think there is no hope. BUT when JESUS found me and put His key in the door of my heart, Hope began to arise, true hope, not just the "wishing and hoping kind," but TRUE HOPE in HIM and in all He has accomplished for me.

I began to accept His love, even if no one else was around to validate me as a person, Jesus was, is and always will be.

Jesus cares about you and me so much, His love is so perfect, tender, gentle and caring. His love is the most amazing love anyone could ever feel. He accepts all our broken pieces, He takes our broken hearts and He gives us His peace and makes us whole in Him. How wondrous is Our God. How amazing is His grace. How awesome it is when He holds the key to our heart.

Our hearts cannot stay hard in any area, even though we may choose to get angry or we may get hurt again, or we may sin against Him, He is faithful to pick us right back up and lead us into the shelter of His arms. He melts our hearts within us when He opens it with His key. Maybe this is the reason John the Baptist said, "there is one who will come who will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." The fire is not to harm us but to melt our hearts in His loving presence. His fire does not burn, it soothes, it calms, it cleanses, it takes away the old and replaces it with the new of His Kingdom, of His heart, of His love.

I just want to thank Jesus for His love and for His faithfulness to continually open the door of my heart with His precious Key. I love Him and I love each one of You with His love. How awesome is Our God!

Lord I pray for You to open the hearts of many with Your key. I pray for hearts to melt at the sound of Your name. I pray Lord for Your power to touch all of our loved ones, and even our enemies. For Your love to sweep across this world and for many to come to a saving knowledge of You. Oh Lord if they only knew Your goodness they would turn to You and receive all You give to us through Your love.

Jesus open hearts, open eyes, open ears and open our mouths to share Your wonderful love and when someone has no answers for their life let us share with them the Good News of Your Gospel the fact that You hold the key to heal hearts everywhere.

WE LOVE YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!.
