Just as a baby believes that Mommy and Daddy report at the sound of that cry. Believe that your Father in Heaven attends to your cries, your petitions, your requests and your needs.
We have the almighty himself, assuring us that what we believe in through prayer is possible.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receivethem, and ye shall have them.
There is much guidance in His word about our conduct, motives, and general state of obedience. Assuming thise things are constantly in check, self check and open to His adjustments. There is no good reason why we shouldnt take Him at His word.
His word tells us to pray, to pray without ceasing and to pray over everything. God is no liar. Anchor your beliefs in that which you have confidence in. Make Him your confidence. Pray for more trust, for more faith, for boldness. Pray for tenacity. Pray for precision, for endurance, for creativity. Pray for wisdom, intelligence, discretion and fortitude. Pray for better accuracy and belief in Him. He will not fail you. He can not. It is not possible. The failures if any always fall in the shortness of our abilities, beliefs and consistency.
What good and lovely thing would you pray for if you knew that it would assuredly be granted? Well then, by all means PRAY for that. Use that success to harness the next prayer, use that trust to pray forward blessings for others, for this world we share!
So many need prayer and the benefits that are unlocked through it!
LORD, help us all to become better aligned with Your Will, Word and Way! Help us to overcome evil, to cultivate the best thoughts and beliefs that will empower us, To be kind to ourselves, to trust ourselves through YOU. To consider our worth. To abandon the worlds approval and seek ONLY Yours. Help us to see ourselves and the world around us through YOUR EYES! Help us become all that which You intended originally, before it became tainted. Train us up in Your righteousness, quicken us this day and have us grow in Your grace, AMEN

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.
2 When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall. 3 Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid; even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God.[b]
4 I have asked the Lord for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the Lord's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance. 5 In times of trouble he will shelter me; he will keep me safe in his Temple and make me secure on a high rock. 6 So I will triumph over my enemies around me. With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple; I will sing, I will praise the Lord.
7 Hear me, Lord, when I call to you! Be merciful and answer me! 8 When you said, “Come worship me,” I answered, “I will come, Lord.” 9 Don't hide yourself from me!
Don't be angry with me; don't turn your servant away. You have been my help; don't leave me, don't abandon me, O God, my savior. 10 My father and mother may abandon me, but the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do, and lead me along a safe path, because I have many enemies. 12 Don't abandon me to my enemies, who attack me with lies and threats.
13 I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life. 14 Trust in the Lord. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the Lord.
I was driving recently, and as I looked forward while waiting at a light, I noticed the vehicle in front of me, with a large object hanging from their rear view mirror. It was a large glass 'evil eye'. They are common in bracelets and represent some weird custom where they believe they are warding off evil spirits.
The sad thing is that in the process of partaking in this practice, the person who has placed their false belief in it's power have also forfeited their protection from true evil, as they fall under curse of false Gods and idolatry.
The truth is, there is no such thing as luck. There are variants of good and bad, up and down, right and wrong, good and evil. There are blessings and curses. No luck. Luck is a nickname for Lucifer, the father of deception and lies. Do not be fooled.
It's quite funny how God shows things to me in layers of events. Knowing what will resonate with me, what I take notice of and what conversations will ensure over such topics. I find it comforting, reassuring and really quite special. His eye is upon us in every aspect of life, even when we are going abut our day to day, obliviously.
Just as I was percolating over all of this, I just happened to open the bible to a very special spot. How amazing it is when you see with your eyes what your spirit already knows. The scripture was so spot on. It was not luck, it was not chance, it was His wink my way.
Psalm 32:8
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
There is so much that we can see around us, that could be troubling, concern causing, scary or causing us to fear. But we ought not, he has so many scriptures reminding us, that not a hair of our heads shall perish. He knows that we are going to be needing these reminders.
There is no ornament, incantation or potion that can protect you. The safety, the protection resided in the King of Kings, the prescient pillar, Abba Father.
John 16:33
33 I have said these things to you, that hin me you may have peace. iIn the world you will have jtribulation. But ktake heart; lI have overcome the world.”
If you share one meaningful thing this Season, let it be this...
God’s only plan of eternal salvation for the entire world.
The Bible specifically says, without any other possible interpretation, that there is only one God, one faith, one baptism and one way to God the Father – and that is only through His Son Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus says that He, and only He, is the way, the truth and the life leading to God the Father and that no one comes to the Father except through Him!
Many people, including some Christians, believe that God the Father honors all other religions as long as people try to live a good and godly life and try to stay out of trouble. However, as you will see in the Scripture verses I will list below, this is not the way God the Father has everything set up. God will not honor any other religion, and He makes it very clear that it is only through His Son and His sacrificial death on the cross that will give people eternal salvation and thus eternal life with Him in heaven.
The Bible says that we are appointed for the defense of the gospel. It is our job, when called upon, to defend God and Jesus on the basics of our salvation. Here are two verses specifically telling us this:
“… knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.”(Philippians 1:17)
“… always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you …” (1 Peter 3:15)
Below are some of the main verses from Scripture that will deal with the basics of our salvation through Jesus Christ. These verses are the basic ammunition that you will need when witnessing to anyone.
There are 6 main principles to the basic message of God’s plan of eternal salvation for the entire world. Here they are, along with all of the Scripture verses to back them up.
1. Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God the Father and Heaven
As stated above, there is no other name under Heaven by which man can be saved other than through the name of <span>Jesus Christ</span>! God the Father will not honor any other name, religion or faith!
Please note the extreme power and authority on the first four verses listed below. These first four verses specifically tell us, without any other possible interpretation, that Jesus Christ is the only way to be able to receive eternal salvation with God the Father.
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all …” (1 Timothy 2:5)
“There is one body and one Spirit … one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:4)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and find pasture … I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:9)
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” (John 11:25)
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never <span>hunger</span> and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51)
“… whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, thatwhoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:15-16)
“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36)
“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (John 5:24)
“… And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11)
“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:14)
I do not see any other interpretation as to what these verses are trying to tell us other than Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father and His dwelling place, heaven! I don’t think God the Father could have made things any more clearer than by the way He has worded all of the above Scripture verses!
<span>Jesus</span> Himself said in the New Testament that He did not come to bring peace – but division! What He means by this is that He is drawing a major battle line in the sand. You either believe in Him and everything that He stands for – or you do not. There are no middle or neutral grounds on this issue.
If you choose not to believe in Jesus and His message of eternal salvation through His death on the cross, then you will die in your sins and go straight to hell when you die – no if, ands or buts about it! The life that we are living down here on this earth is serious business! The choices that we make in this life will determine our ultimate fate in the afterlife.
Choose Jesus and the blood that He has personally shed for you on the cross – and you will become saved and born again – and you will then enter into the most incredible place imaginable when you die – heaven itself!
Choose anyone or anything else, and you will cross over into the most horrible place imaginable when you die – hell itself, and then eventually into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone after theMillenniumhas taken place, where the Bible says that the smoke of your torment will ascend forever and ever!
2. God Desires All Men to be Saved
God has given each man and each woman a free will to make their own choices in this life. The next 3 verses will show us that God does not want anyone to perish, but that He will not make or force anyone to accept Him and His Son and what His Son’s death on the cross really means for all of us.
Here are three very powerful verses showing that God wants all men and all women to be saved through the Blood of His Son Jesus.
“… God our Savior, who desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
“For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For WHOEVER calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:12)
Notice that God is wanting all men and all women to accept His free gift of eternal salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. He is not making any exceptions either by race, color, creed or gender.
The <span>Bible</span> also tells us that God the Father is no respecter of persons, which means He loves each man and each woman equally and unconditionally.
3. We Are Saved by Grace Through Faith – Not Works
The gift of eternal salvation is a free gift given by God to all those who will believe on Jesus and what His death on the cross really means for all of us. These next 3 verses will specifically tell us that good works will not get us into heaven. Works are needed after salvation.
The Bible says that faith without works is dead – but that is after you have received God’s gift of eternal salvation. After you get saved, God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and this is where you will go to work for God into whatever your calling is going to be in Him. But to initially receive the gift of eternal salvation from God the Father is simply done by having faith and belief in Jesus Christ and what He personally did for you on the cross. Here are the verses:
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8)
“… knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ … for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” (Galatians 2:16)
“Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:20,23)
The Bible specifically tells us in that last verse that all men and all women have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of our God. The Bible says that there are none that are righteous before the eyes of God the Father. As a result, none of our fleshly works, no matter how good we think they may be, will ever be good enough to get us into heaven or back into the good graces of our Lord and Savior.
4. The Gift of Salvation Now Makes Us Righteous Before God the Father
Once you become saved and born again by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, the Bible says that we are now made perfectly righteous before the eyes of God. The righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to us. This means that we are now free to approach the throne of God for intimate prayer and communication, and when we die, we will all go straight to heaven.
Even though we will continue to commit sin from time to time, God will always forgive us as long as we properly confess each sin when it does happen. We will never become totally sinless or perfect. No one will ever become the fourth person of the Holy Trinity. Only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are totally perfect in Their actual natures and in all of Their ways. Humans and angels are not!
The Bible says that all men have sinned and will continue to sin, and thus will fall way short of the glory of our God. That is why Jesus had to come and die for all of our sins – which will include all of the past sins that we have ever committed, all of the present sins we are now committing, and all of the future sins that we will ever commit.
As a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins, God the Father now sees all of us as righteous and justified before His very eyes – now and for all of eternity, even though we are all still sinners! Talk about an incredible pardon!
Here are two very powerful verses showing us that we have now all been made perfectly righteous and perfectly justified before God the Father as a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins.
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now beenjustified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” (Romans 5:8)
So not only do we get a full pardon and a full remission for all of our sins, but we now get to be made perfectly righteous before God the Father Himself. Righteousness and Redemption– what more could we ask for!
5. How to Become Saved and Receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation
The Bible makes it very clear as to how to receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation from God the Father:
Admit that we are sinners, be willing to confess our sins before God, and be willing to repent and turn from those sins.
Be willing to accept the fact that Jesus Christ came to our earth in the flesh to die on the cross for all of our sins, that He rose from the dead on the third day, and then be willing to formally accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior.
This acceptance of Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior must be confessed out loud before God the Father. It does not have to be done in a church. This can happen to anyone at anytime at any place. It can be done in the privacy of one’s own bedroom. Here are three specific verses showing all of the above points.
“REPENT THEREFORE and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)
“IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
“… 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 to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.” (Romans 10:9)
Notice the last verse says to confess with your mouth, and with the mouth confession is made to receive salvation. This means just saying a good, basic salvation prayer out loud direct to God the Father from your heart.
Below is a good, basic salvation prayer to give to someone who wants to get saved by accepting Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Some people call this the “Sinners Prayer.” Others call it a basic salvation prayer. Either title will work.
BASIC SALVATION PRAYER
Say the following prayer out loud, believe it from your heart and you will be saved.
Dear Father,
I now believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He came to our earth in the flesh and died on the cross to take away all of my sins and the sins of this world. I believe that Jesus Christ then rose from the dead on the third day to give all of us eternal life.
Lord Jesus,
I now confess to You all of the wrong and sinful things I have ever done in my life. I ask that You please forgive Me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that You have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now ready to accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that You come into my life and live with Me for all of eternity.
Father, Jesus – I now believe that I am truly saved and born again.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.
For more information on the above Sinner’s Prayer, we have another article in our site in the Prayer section titled “The Sinner’s Prayer.” In this article, we give you some additional information as to what goes on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm when God does start to move in on someone in an effort to try and get them saved.
6. Become a Fisherman for God
All of the above are what I call the basics to understanding what eternal salvation through Jesus Christ is really all about. I will be doing other articles on what it really means to be born again, as this comes off the story of Adam and Eve.
To lead someone into eternal salvation through Jesus Christ is really a work of the Holy Spirit. I will show you how God the Father will set people up, and why every Christian needs to be open and sensitive to letting God, through the Holy <span>Spirit</span>, direct you as to who you should witness to and exactly how to go about it. Now that your are saved, God wants you to become a fisherman for Him.
All of the above Scripture verses will give you major, live, ammunition to use when trying to get someone saved. The <span>Holy Spirit</span> will really move on someone if you stay with His leadings as to when to witness to that someone and exactly how to go about it.
According to the Bible, the greatest thing we can accomplish in this life is to get another person saved and brought home to the Lord – because with the gift of eternal salvation comes the gift of eternal life – which means that when we die, we will be able to enter into heaven to be with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, all of Their angels and all of our saved loved ones who have passed away and are now living in heaven.
To bring a person into that reality after they die is the greatest thing you can do for another human being! It is the ultimate superman scenario. You are literally saving their eternal life. I do not believe there is any other accomplishment that will bring about as much fulfillment as this one act will do.
I will leave you with 16 good verses from the Bible showing you the extreme importance on God being able to use each and every one of us to get other people saved in this life.
Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations …” (Matthew 28:18)
And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)
“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” (John 20:21)
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14)
“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.” (Matthew 10:27)
“… to whom I now send you, to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.” (Acts 26:17)
“Preach the word.Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, and exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:2)
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,who bring glad tidings of good things.” (Romans 10:15)
“For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost … Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18:11,14)
“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord …” (2 Timothy 1:8)
“For I am not ashamed of the <span>gospel</span> of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes … ” (Romans 1:16)
“For I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.” (Psalm 119:45)
“Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” (Proverbs 24:11)
“Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us …” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
“They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.” (Psalm 145:11)
“Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.” (Psalms 145:6)
If you believe the Holy Bible is truly the inspired and infallible Word of our God, then there is absolutely no other interpretation or spin that you can put on the above verses. God the Father has made it as clear as He possibly could with the way that He has worded all of the above Scripture verses.
Bottom line – God’s free gift of eternal salvation can only be received by accepting His Son Jesus Christ and the blood that He has personally shed for each and everyone of us on that day He died on the cross.
There is no other way into the kingdom of God! We either come through the blood and the cross – or we don’t come through at all!
I rest my case for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
"For whosoever finds Me finds Life and shall obtain favor from the LORD. But he that sins against Me wrongs his own soul: All they that hate Me [& My Words] love death." (Proverbs 8:35-36) "You 'must' speak My Words to them, whether they listen or fail [refuse] to listen, for they are rebellious." (Ezekiel 2:7) "When I say to a wicked man: 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life - that wicked man will die for his sin and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he [still] does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin but you will have saved yourself." (Ezekiel 3:18-19) "But unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3) "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself." (Ezekiel 3:20-21) "Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities between blood and blood - between law and commandment - statutes and ordinances - you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty." (2 Chronicles 19:10) "When His disciples heard this many of them said: 'This is a hard and difficult and strange saying (an offensive and unbearable message). Who can stand to hear it? [Who can be expected to listen to such teaching?]' But Jesus knowing within Himself that His disciples were complaining and protesting and grumbling about it said to them: 'Is this a stumbling block and an offense to you? [Does this upset and displease and shock and scandalize you?] What then [will be your reaction] if you should see the Son of Man ascending to [the place] where He was before? It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver] the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The Words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are Spirit and Life. But [still] some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith.' For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. And He said: 'This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him [unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father.' After this many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. Jesus said to the Twelve: 'Will you also go away?' [And do you too desire to leave Me?] Simon Peter answered: 'Lord - to whom shall we go? You have the Words (the message) of Eternal Life. And we have learned to believe and trust and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God the Christ (the Anointed One) the Son of the living God'." (John 6:60-69) "For You have exalted Your Word above all Your name." (Psalm 138:2) "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." (John 1:1-2) "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory: the glory as of the only begotten of the Father - full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) "As for the person who hears My Words but does not keep them - I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world - but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My Words: that very Word which I spoke will condemn him at the Last Day." (John 12:47-48) "When His disciples heard it they were greatly astonished saying: 'Who then can be saved?' But Jesus looked at them and said to them: 'With men this is impossible but with God all things are possible.' Then Peter answered and said to Him: 'See we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?' So Jesus said to them: 'Assuredly I say to you that in the regeneration when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory - you who have followed Me - will also sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (Matthew 19:25-28) "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son - that whoever believes on Him {Jesus Christ} shall not perish but have Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world - but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes on Him is not condemned. But whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed on the name of God's one and only Son." (John 3:16-18) "The FOOL has said in his heart: 'There is no God'.” (Psalm 14:1) "BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED - YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD." (Acts 16:31) "That if you confess with your mouth: 'Jesus Is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead - you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says: 'Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile — the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him. (Romans 10:9-12) "FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL 'CALL UPON' THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:13) "Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3) "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I Am, there you may be also." (John 14:1-3) "IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL ¹HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND ²PRAY AND ³SEEK MY FACE AND ⁴TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
