Dearly beloved of the Lord, God has graciously brought us through to a new year and as we have seen 2012 was an absolute disaster for America with zero human remedies in sight. Hey... that's OK... this nasty world is NOT our home my beloved! Those who reject Almighty God's ETERNAL saving grace and remain in their rebellion against Him can keep it and their delusional doomed world view also (Rom. 1:18-32). As we embark on this New Year, may we be continually focused and redeeming the time for the Savior for the days are evil indeed (Eph. 5:16); for the day and hour of His coming is nearer then ever before. May we have faith in Almighty God, Who works out all things for His honor and glory (Romans 8: 28, Rev. 4:11) and may we possess the ETERNAL perspective that only God and His Word gives while living in this fallen temporal world (Col. 3:1-2, Phil. 3:20). May we be also exercising our Heavenly calling as His ambassadors to a lost and dying world, for the end is drawing near (2 Cor. 5:20, Eph. 5:16). The past is in the past and the ETERNAL future for the child of God is always BRIGHT (Phil. 3:8,12)!
.
May we possess the ETERNAL perspective that only God and His Word gives while living in this temporal world.
..Beware and be on guard of the subtleties of our adversary “the Devil” and the many voices that seek to derail and distract us from the realities at hand (Matt. 24: 4-5, Luke 22:31, 2 Cor. 11:13-15, Phil. 3:2, James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8).
May our battle cry be “Victory in Jesus” in this 2013 year (1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor. 2:14, 1 John 5:4)! My beloved, this may indeed be the very year that we see our Beloved Savior face to face (1 John 3:2-3). What glory that will be!
My friends what ever may transpire this year here in troubled America, remember what must be; for the Kingdom of Heaven
is truly at hand! Think on and remember this invaluable truth and
reality! It will truly set you free from all of the adversity that
surrounds us! ((John 8:32, 36)
We all at the Ignorant Fishermen Blog wish you all a blessed and Christ centered New Year with much victory (1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor. 2:14, 1 John 5:4)!
,Victory in Jesus in 2013!

Amen -- We must continue to fight the good fight and your encouragement to all of us does so help.....Happy New Year, Yours in Christ.

My friend, there is no 12 step to salvation, John 1:12, Acts 16:28-30, 1 John 5:12-18.
ReplyDeleteBaptism or identification the true meaning in the Greek for baptism is done to show what the Messiah has done for the believer who receives the REALITY and TRUTH. Baptism does not save it shows what happened when we got saved.
