Know the truth, speak the truth, live the truth

If Jesus wasn't who He said He was, then why those who have claimed the same thing are gone and forgotten? There had to be something special about this man for Him to still cause a ruckus at the mere mention of His name 2000 years later. He was / is the Son of God. I pray to this Jesus Christ and my prayers are answered. Like when I asked Jesus to come into my life and change it. Like when I prayed that He would save my family. Those prayers and many more have come true. I see what is occurring around the world and with each natural disaster, every war, every famine and new disease, I am more and more convinced Bible prophesy is real and God is real because these prophesies were prophesied thousands of years ago. How did they know? How could our ancestors know? Ive seen people be miraculously healed right in front of my eyes, asking God in Jesus name to heal the person. I saw someone who lost their vision regain their sight. I have had my liver healed and my thyroid has miraculously went from 1.369 TSH to 3.4 TSH (Thyroid-stimulating Hormone) in one month and the doctor told me that she had NEVER seen anyone recover that quickly and with such a low dose of medicine. ITS JESUS who healed me. He is still in the business to forgive sin and heal people. I know the truth and speak the truth because I am living the truth.

Preaching isnt easy, but somebody has got to do it

My second post on my blog I would like to share about this burden,if you want to call it that, to step out of my comfort zone. My comfort zone has become sharing my faith on Facebook and posting on this blog. I have been sharing my faith for a little over a year on Facebook. I want to publicly admit that I am afraid to talk to people in person about Jesus. Yes that is right I am scared. But I don't want to be scared anymore. I have been praying to overcome this fear for months and now it is time to step out in faith. This year has been preparing me for this. I believe I will have a break through very soon and I will over come this fear. This will be a major victory for me. I don't want to give a foot hold to the devil anymore. All he needs is to get to a small hold of me and he won. But I am too weak to overcome this fear alone. I am getting help from my Jesus and I will overcome this fear.

So now I got this strong desire to step out of the comfort of my keyboard and computer screen and talk to people in person about God. For last few days I have been seeing this verse a lot. Luke 9:23 - Then he said to them all: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." I have a desire to talk to complete strangers and talk about the most controversial topic and person that has EVER in existence. How awkward is that? But I am denying my comfort so I can tell people about Jesus Christ and how to receive forgiveness from Him, This desire is not my own desire. I do this out of love. Love for the one who first loved me (Jesus). Out of love, I obey to go out and make disciples. Because of love, I want people to be saved from God's punishment. Even if that means people will hate me, talk bad about me, even if it means death. Jesus died publicly for me, so I want to live publicly for Him. I want to pick up my cross and follow Jesus.

I will continue to post on my Facebook page and on my blog about what God is putting into my heart to share with you. He is trying to reach somebody who reads this blog and/or my Facebook page. It might be YOU Jesus is trying to save. I want to share my experiences I have when I interact with people face to face. We need proof that something is real and authentic. God wants to prove to you that He is real, He loves you and He wants to spend the rest of eternity with you. What a privilege it is to go talk about Christ to the masses!


Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Preaching isn't easy, but somebody has got to do it. Blood washed believers, we have been commanded to do this. Its called "The Great Commission" not "The Great Suggestion". We all know in what era we live in. Time is getting close for the return of our savior. Time is getting short and we have to make a last push to get the gospel out there. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HELL IF WE DO NOT GET OUT THERE!! If you say you love and follow Jesus Christ, then obey His command. If you have a hard time doing this, ask for help. Pray and ask for help to overcome fear. Ask to become bold and careless for Jesus. It may not happen right away because God is never late nor is He in a hurry. This time I have waited has increased my faith in Jesus. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. In the time I waited, I have matured and grown to understand the bible teachings. I am equipped and I am ready to get out there an win souls for the kingdom of heaven. 

I want to tell people about what Jesus has done in my life and tell people they can have what I have too.They can be loved and forgiven by the one who created everything. God deserves all of our praise, attention and time. The time you give up here on earth will not be in vain. The little bit of time you give up here you will be rewarded with eternal life with the creator of everything in paradise. That is a promise you can believe in because Jesus is faithful and keeps all of His promises.- ND

After much hesitation

After much hesitation I finally decided to start a blog. I had been told quite a few times that I should start one. I don't know exactly why anyone would want to know what is going on with me. But its not me people want to know about. They want to know more about how Jesus Christ has transformed my life.
Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
I have learned that you do not have to have a bunch of bible verses memorized, you don't need a degree from some fancy Christian bible school nor do you have to stand in front of a huge audience to tell people about what Jesus has done for you. Now, I am not saying that that memorizing bible verses, going to Christian college and talking to a large group of people is bad, its just not required.
Religion says DO. Jesus says DONE. Religion says that you have to do all these good deeds and we have to try with in our own power, earn God's love. But Jesus says that He has already done all the work and it is finished! Believe in Him and you will be saved. Saved from what? Saved from God's anger because He is a Holy god and He hates sin. Jesus, the only good man that ever had something bad happen to. He lived a perfect life and yet took all of our sin, shame, disease, and punishment. Today I heard a preacher say something that blew my mind. It blew my mind because this is part of the reason why I talk so much about God, Jesus and heaven. I had never thought of it this way. The preacher's name is Jentezen Franklin. He said "You didn't just win a trip to Hawaii. You just won a trip to New Jerusalem! You are going to a city where there is no pain! No death! No Suffering! No Sickness! No temptations! No sin! No Devil! No Tears! No crying! No burdens! No bills! No depression! No fear! "
 I want to go there and I want other people to come so we can enjoy what our Lord Jesus Christ has made for those who love and believe in Him.
My hope is that people will come to know about Jesus Christ. God is real and I will testify about it all day. I will talk about all the things Jesus has done in my life.  You know what? You can have it too and your experience with Jesus will be unique to you. Something I learned early in my walk with Christ is that its not a marathon for Christ. It is a daily walk with Christ. During the good, the bad and the ugly..Christ is with you. Your life and circumstances may change, but Christs love for you never changes. You can loose everything, including your life but you are promised eternal life with the Creator of everything and live a very good life forever!
Come as you are because you cant change whats wrong with you. Only Jesus can fix what is wrong with you. You do not owe Him anything because this gift of eternal life is FREE. Its a free gift that you do not have to earn. Its given to you because God first loved you and He wants to spend eternity with you. Think about it, the creator of the universe and of all things past, present and future wants to spend the rest of forever with you. Why would God want to spend eternity with a wretch like me? Its simple really. Its because He loves you! He loves us all and does not desire for any of us to go to hell. But we are all given free will to make our own choices. You can chose to follow Him or go down the path that leads to destruction. I am sorry if I have rambled on but the spirit gets to moving in me, I cannot help but type what flows out of me. I hope this blog has blessed somebody. There will be more where this came from! - ND
