DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING!

PHILIPPIANS 4: 6

"DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING: instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all that He has done."

Do you worry a lot about many things? Do you feel your life is in constant turmoil and you are not in control? Are you feeling insecure about your ability to manage your life? It is not uncommon for people to worry so much they make themselves sick and unhappy. They worry about their health, their family, their job and their country. The worry about what will happen next and what the future holds. Underlying all of these fears is the fear of dying. A lot of people are so afraid to die that they fail to live. I can not fly! I can not drive on the freeway! I just can not do it! Praise the Lord for His One Truth Today!

If you are a child of God then you need to keep the first thing first. Jesus Christ, the Lord God should be the center of your life and the first one you go to for everything, all the time. Before you begin anything you need to pray about it and seek God's will for your life. Others may be able to offer advice and counsel, but no one other than the Lord has the Truth and the Word that can be trusted! What is this scripture telling you? DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING!
Instead of worrying, pray about everything, and tell God what you need. Do not forget to thank the Lord for all that He has done for you! Worrying will not help you in any way and it will hurt you in many ways. Test your faith in the Lord's Power instead of worrying about your life!

When you think of how far the Lord has brought you and the new eternal life He has given you,
then you can be assured that He will be with you until the end! Knowing this is how you can have peace. You can never thank God enough for all He has done for you, but do not stop trying. The Lord has heard your prayers and He has answered them. He died to save you from your sins. You do not have to count on yourself for life or Salvation. Stop worrying and rest in the Lord. God is able to carry your burdens and pull your loads. You can not do it but nothing is impossible for God. When you know and trust that you will understand the Truth. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING! PRAY FOR EVERYTHING! THANK GOD FOR ALL HE HAS DONE!

LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS!

PSALM 119: 105

" Lord, Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path!"

Are you afraid of the dark? Have you experienced that scary and creepy feeling when you found yourself walking in the dark and there was no light? Have you stumbled around in the dark and injured yourself? When there is no visible light or clear signs about the direction you should take do you wonder about the right destination ahead for you? Have you come to a fork in the road and not been sure which direction to take? Would you welcome a bright light or lamp to direct your feet and bring you safely home? Our One Truth Today informs us that the Word of God LIGHTS UP THE DARKNESS! The Lord's Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path!

When you are in the dark, the Lord God will light up the darkness for you. His Word is not only a guide for our lives, it is also a light that shows us the right path to take and overcomes the darkness. You will always know the right direction to take if the you allow the Lord to guide you and LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS! The right path is the one that leads us directly to God. Keep His commandments, follow His laws, and study His prophets. When you know the Word of God and it has a place of prominence in your life, you will become a shining light for the Lord. God is Light and you are part of His Light. Let the light of the Lord shine through you and LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS!

We all take a path in our lives. Is yours toward the Lord or away from Him? If you walk toward God you will be walking to the light and away from darkness. The Lord will become more and more visible to you as you walk toward Him. You can see His lamp and His light and it will direct your path. If you walk away from God, the way and the path become more and more dark and you will stumble and fall and you will even die. You will have no one to guide you except yourself and you will never be able to save yourself! Those that Love, Know and Fear the Lord not only have peace here on earth but they have assurance that they are going in the right direction and they will find their way home. Is that how you feel? Let Jesus Christ the Lord God LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS for you today.

THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS!

PHILIPPIANS 4: 8

"Whatever is True, whatever is Noble, whatever is Right, whatever is Pure,
whatever is Lovely, whatever is Admirable - if anything is Excellent or Praiseworthy- THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS!"

What kind of thoughts do you dwell on? Do you consider yourself a positive person or a negative person? Do you look for things to praise or to condemn? You control your thoughts one at a time, what is it that you think about? Have you allowed your mind to go over to the "dark side"? Our One Truth Today has a message for everyone. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT! The Word tells us to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS! Whatever is virtuous, honorable, and Christ like should fill your mind.

Imagine, long before the Power of Positive Thinking was published, the Lord had all ready put down in His Word the essence of the idea! Our thoughts have a direct control on the direction of our lives. If you want to please God and live in His Word then you need to control your thoughts and thereby your actions. It is a form of worship to honor God and His Word by being a doer and not just a hearer of the scriptures. That puts the focus on the spiritual man and denies the focus of the natural man. There is "peace on earth" to men in God's will and this is one means of being in the will of God. You have free will and choose your thoughts one at a time. What you think and speak about will come alive into action in your lives. There is Power in Positive (Godly) Thinking!

Our minds can only hold one thought at a time. You are in control of your thoughts. You are responsible for your thoughts. Thoughts inevitably lead to actions. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. I think, therefore I am. Your thoughts have consequences and you are the one responsible. If you think about things that are evil, pornographic, impure, false and negative then your life will be filled with the consequences. Your choice will lead to impure, evil results and eventually to eternal death and damnation. You plant the seeds and "as you sow, so shall you reap". On the other hand, God tells us to think about whatever is noble, right, pure, lovely, praiseworthy, admirable, or excellent. These thoughts will lead to virtue and honor. Focus your heart and mind and THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS!

VICTORIOUS!

REVELATION 2: 7

"To everyone who is VICTORIOUS, I will give fruit from the tree of life in the
Paradise of God!"

Everyone wants to be VICTORIOUS. No one wants to be a loser. The real question is what is it that we need to be victorious about! Our One Truth Today is not about being victorious in any sporting, physical or mental contest on this earth. In fact the competitive spirit of humans can become paramount at the expense of decency or morality. Political elections come to mind. How many times have we seen riots and mayhem at sporting events of all kinds? Many people have the "win at any cost" mentality. To be "victorious", many will cheat, lie and steal. It is clear that none of the above is the "victorious" pointed out in our scripture. What does it really mean to be VICTORIOUS?

Is victory a medal, cup, ribbon or trophy? Not in this context. One thing is certain, victory on earth is fleeting and temporary. Today's winner is tomorrows loser and vice versa. The Victory of this Scripture is lasting and permanent. The Spirit and John tell us that, "he who overcomes and holds on to the very end in his belief and first love for the Lord will be VICTORIOUS"! To those who have an ear, let them hear. Those who know, love and fear God to the very end of their life will have Victory! We must hold on fast to the Word of God and overcome the world if we want to be VICTORIOUS!

Listen to the promise of God; "to everyone who is VICTORIOUS, I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God". Do you want eternal life? Do you want to spend eternity in Paradise with God? Do you want to avoid death and separation from God? Do you look forward to eating the fruit of the tree of life in paradise? Once you have chosen to open the door to your heart and invite Jesus Christ into your life you have been Saved. You know, love and fear God and you want to serve, worship and become more like Him. If you overcome the world and hold onto the Lord until the very end of your life, you are VICTORIOUS! That is the promise of God and the One Truth Today. That is what it means to be VICTORIOUS!

EACH PERSONS DESTINY!

HEBREWS 9: 27-28

"EACH PERSON IS DESTINED TO DIE ONCE AND AFTER THAT COMES THE JUDGEMENT. So also Christ died once for all as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. Christ will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring Salvation to all who are eagerly awaiting Him."

Every person born into this world has one thing in common. We will all share the same destiny, we will all die. Our One Truth Today explains that EACH PERSON IS DESTINED TO DIE ONCE AND AFTER THAT COMES THEIR JUDGEMENT. The ratio of deaths to births is one to one and everyone will die at least once. It may be difficult or uncomfortable to think about this, but your first death is inevitable. Nothing can change your destiny. Death is not a pleasant subject and funerals are not the type of event we look forward to. Have you come to grips with this truth? The real and important question to ask yourself is whether you will be "born again", or will you suffer the second and eternal death?

In reality every person will be judged at the time of their death and because Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for everyone who believes in Him, He will bring Salvation to all who are eagerly awaiting Him. If you believed on the Name of Jesus Christ and accepted Him as your Saviour you will be born again into a new and eternal life with Him forever! If you have rejected the Lord, making no decision is the same as rejecting Him, you will be subject to the second death and you will be eternally separated from God, forever! We all had a choice to accept or reject the "Gospel", we have all been told that Jesus Christ died for our sins and gives eternal life to His believer's. Christians are born twice and only die once. Non believer's are born once and they die twice. What is your choice? The Lord is perfectly just at the time of judgement!

It is appointed unto all men to die once and then face certain judgement. That is EACH PERSONS DESTINY that have been born into this world. If you do not want to die twice, and be separated from the Lord for eternity, then acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you need a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Christ died for your sins and took the penalty for us all. His Mercy and Grace can Save all who come to the Cross and believe on Him. You have a free will and make a free choice. The choice will have eternal consequences. Are you eagerly awaiting the return of our Lord and Saviour? EACH PERSON WHO BELONGS TO CHRIST KNOWS THEIR DESTINY!

JESUS CHRIST LIVES FOREVER!

HEBREWS 7: 24-25

"Because JESUS CHRIST LIVES FOREVER, His priesthood lasts forever. He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. Jesus lives forever to intercede with God on our behalf."

Only a fool says in his heart, there is no God! Only fools think there are no absolutes! You will die, absolutely, fool! Agnostic and Atheistic teachers and professors have been teaching this lie for a long time now. All of them have, or will, absolutely die, and then the judgement. Their lies have been devastating to so many and it comes from the father of all lies, the devil. They believe that God is dead. That is interesting in that assumes He was alive at one time! If God is dead then who is going to save them? You do not believe that any man or collection of men can save you, do you? Fools can not save themselves or anyone else. The One Truth Today is only JESUS CHRIST LIVES FOREVER!

Jesus Christ the Lord God lives forever, His priesthood lasts forever, and therefore He is the only one who is able to save us. No one but Jesus can intercede with God on our behalf. The reason is that only JESUS CHRIST LIVES FOREVER! This is an absolute truth just like the truth that there is one death to every birth for mankind. The ratio is one to one, absolutely.
Everyone who has been born has died or will die and the only exception is that of Jesus Christ, who died and rose again to be the precursor of our new and eternal life. He was the first to be born again and He offers you the ability to be born again into a new and eternal life that lasts forever. Jesus Christ the Lord God had no beginning and He has no end. We had a beginning and we can make the choice that will overcome death and give us new and eternal life with Him forever. That is the absolute Truth!

That which has existed forever is worthy and deserving of our worship and praise. We need to love and fear the Power of God. Worshiping anything made by God or what humans can contrive is insane. Why would you worship the creation rather than the Creator? God brought the heavens and the earth and all things into existence, rather than worship or look to them, look to the one who made it all! JESUS CHRIST LIVES FOREVER! The priesthood of Jesus is forever. Allow Jesus to intercede on your behalf and give you new and eternal life that will be forever. It is because He lives forever that you can live forever more if you believe in Him. The Lord can save you right now even if you have been a fool up to this moment! Praise The Lord!

KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS!

HEBREWS 6: 11

"Our great desire is that you will KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS as long as your life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true!"

Do you remember when you first accepted the Lord into your life? Do you remember that great love that filled your heart, for God and for others? Because God had forgiven you, you wanted to forgive others and show them unconditional love. You may have gone so far as to forgive those who had harmed you and to love your enemies. Do you remember how you could not wait to tell others about the Love of Jesus Christ and the "Good News"? You had to share about the free gift of eternal life and the love of God. You were anything but indifferent to the fate of others that faced damnation and hell. The question for you today is, does your faith show the same sincerity and diligence towards others? Did you KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS?

Our One Truth Today points out the great desire of the Lord and His Prophets and Disciples, that you never grow spiritually weary or disinterested in your fellow man. God wants us to
KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS, as long as our life lasts here on earth. God wants us to be certain that we hoped for here on earth will come true eternally. We are to imitate Jesus Christ the Lord God and never stop loving unconditionally. We are to become more and more like Him and grow in our righteousness. God is Love and He wants us to be the same as Him. We are expected to KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS!

Those who have absolute trust and confidence in the Lord and His Word know of His power and the righteousness that it leads to. We are to practice with endurance the race to the end of our lives. We are to look forward to the inheritance of the Lord and our eternal place in Heaven. We should not hold on to the things of this life and we must never look back at the time on earth as our real home. It should be our great desire that we KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS as long as our life on earth lasts. We should be certain in our hearts that what we hope for and desire will come true and will be ours forever. One day we will be in heaven and perfection for eternity. KEEP ON LOVING OTHERS!
