45 – Is there anything in this world that is holding you back?
Lord Jesus is the King of Kings! In John 16 11-33 (King James Version) Lord Jesus says, “In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”.
What do these words mean to you? Are you living in the victory Lord Jesus has won for you over 2,000 years ago? If not, it is time to really look at where you place Lord Jesus in your own life.
Are you standing in the victory Lord Jesus won for you over 2,000 years ago? If you have a “voice” in your head saying that you are “hopeless” or you aren’t “good enough”, where could this possibly be coming from? Do you believe that the one who made you in His own image would ever speak to you in this way?
No! Never! Our Lord Jesus says to us that there are only “two masters”, God and mammon. He says that we can only serve one. Which master we choose is our choice. We choose to serve God or mammon. How do we choose?
Through Lord Jesus, we can come straight to God. He says He is “the only way”! He says that He is the “Way, the Truth and the Life”! The devil on the other hand, Jesus refers to as “the father of lies”. The devil is the other master, who sits behind the world, or “mammon”. Jesus says that the devil only comes to “steal” and “murder”.
The devil hates God. He wants to destroy all of God’s creation including us. He is the only one behind all of the horrible things that may come into your mind. You can give him a swift kick by saying, “satan get behind me in the name of Jesus”, when you have thoughts that come into your mind. You can also say, “Lord Jesus please help me”.
There is so much to say about this. I gave my life to serve Lord Jesus in 1995. I have been asking Him to help me since that time. Why? Well, He says, “Ask and you will receive”. So I ask Him anything and everything I have to ask. Over the years, He has shown me many answers in different ways. He IS the WAY.
This means to me, that I must do what He says, not what the world says. You can start your own personal relationship with Him right now! You can say, “Father I repent of ALL of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness.” Lord Jesus tells us that we ONLY have ONE “Father” and that is HIS Father in heaven. If you are not absolutely amazed at this, you may not be too “present” at this point in time.
It is a huge thing that the Son of the most high God is telling us ALL that His Father is our Father! If you don’t find this amazing, you may have been living your life under a “spell”! I pray for that spell to be broken now in ‘Jesus’ name! I pray for you to open to the “living God”. His Son, our Lord Jesus came to bring you “life in abundance”.
After you have said the “Prayer of repentence”, you can say to Lord Jesus that you invite Him into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. You can then start your own personal relationship with Him forever. It is great to have a recording of the Gospels, or a copy of the Holy Bible, so that you can start with the words of our Lord Jesus to help you.
You can start talking with Him in your own time and space. It is your own relationship. To nurture this relationship it is great to treat Him as your best friend. He says, “no greater love is there than one who gives up His life for a friend. He gave up His life for you. He returned from the dead to show what is possible if you will come with Him and obey His commands.
Since I gave my life to Him in 1995, I have been living a greater and greater life. I learn more about so many things from Him and things He guides me to learn, every single day. I am constantly in awe of what He, our Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit do for me.
I look forward to being together again in the next session of ‘Breaky with Jesus’, God bless you, Kelly Newton-Wordsworth
He says that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God, with all of your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all of your strength. If you truly do this, the results or the “fruit” that will be produced in your life will be as Lord Jesus says will be “good”!
If you let the “world” stand in your way, you are not standing with Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus says that there are only “two masters”, “God and Mammon”, we serve one or the other. If you believe you are truly serving “God” you will be awake, staying awake and watching out.
