JESUS, THE ANNOINTED ONE


We live in a difficult world, in challenged times. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion… why we are here, and what is the purpose of it all. There is really only one uniform source of truth.

 Do you want the life of Jesus Christ to rescue and renew you?

1) Don't judge the power of God to save you by so much phoniness & failure we see around us. We may not hear much about people who serve God faithfully, never cheat on their vows, live by wisdom and justice. Get your eyes off of men, and look to God for your answers. If you will approach Him in humble heart true, He will satisfy your need to know. It is written as Jesus Christ said, “ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who is asking is receiving; and he who seeks is finding; and to the one who is knocking, it is opened.” [from the Bible, Luke 11:9-10] We have found Him to be true.

2) Desire to only be with Jesus Christ, not religion. There's no life in church steeples, personalities or organizations. It's about getting right with God through the marvelous presence and sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth.

3) Don't wait to get your life together before you fully seek Him. This is a “come-as-you-are” party. Jesus loves you right where you are. It's only He who can affect real change in your life, because real change comes from the inside out. Our attempts at self-improvement seldom work, and are nothing compared to what the Spirit of Christ can accomplish within you.

4) You haven't gone too far for God to forgive you, when you genuinely turn away from everything that you formerly thought & lived without Him. It is written that when we repent (turn around and face His direction), “He is faithful and just to forgive, and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.” [from the Bible, I John 1:9] If you are truly repentant, there is nothing He will not forgive. If you cannot or will not turn away from your sin and look to Christ, it will not matter whether you read anything beyond this point.

5) Following Jesus is a total and full-on experience in obedience & trust. The world, self and darkness have had there fill in your life, until now… Jesus desires to have full control, to make you complete in every way that matters. His love is most powerful for you, and, He desires to fill our lives to overflowing!


 Come to Jesus Christ, the Savior and King!

1) Everyone in the world has missed God, and needs to be rescued. No matter who you are, without Jesus as your life, you have stumbled off and away from being right. No matter how good a life you may lead of human effort, your life boat is swamped & lost without Jesus Christ. Because sin is in the world, all men and women have taken to it and earned its penalty of death. Living on death row, we each need to have our crimes pardoned and our relationship with God restored -- to be unchained from the pattern of failure & death -- which can only happen through the sacrifice Jesus gave of His own blood and body at Calvary. It is where He took the fault -- paid the price for our failure.

2) You cannot earn a life with Him. This is something God has done for us; we cannot achieve it, we must truly receive it from Him and in faith of Him (trusting Him).

  Why do I need to respond to what has already been done for me?

3) You must recognize your need. Without Jesus Christ, you are a blind, foul, depraved, reckless person (even if you look pretty good to me) -- just as we all were before believing on Jesus. Even the good things you may do have a self-made agenda. You must be willing to call your sin, sin, and turn from it wholeheartedly; allow God to possess your life, renew your mind, and replace your old habits of life as He will supply and direct; and to pick up your own cross (of dying) and follow Jesus in the life He freely gives. It's losing your life for His sake, that you might gain life forever. It is suffering, sometimes because you've done the right thing. Don't bother coming to Christ if you're looking for an easy way. Yet, without a doubt, the life He gives is filled with joy and satisfaction.

4) You must receive Him by faith.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. No man shall see the Father if not through Me.” [John 14:16]

It is written, “They that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” [Romans 10:13]

We are told, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins, and you will be receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you and your children and to whoever the Lord will be calling to Himself.” [Acts 2:38-39]


  Do you hear Him calling you?

 Come, Walk with Christ into the Kingdom of God

1) Repent and Follow Jesus. Recognize your sinfulness, and turn from your ways to God. Welcome His change without looking back to those things you did before.

2) Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; that He took the death penalty for our sin upon Himself and in our place; that just 3 days following, He rose from that death and conquered sin. We believe this by faith. No one presents pragmatic proof of these truths. But, we do have the Holy Spirit, who will confirm these facts to you by an inner witness, that says, “this is true.” “That if you confess [avow] with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” [Romans 10:9]

3) Receive His forgiveness. He was crucified and died so that you may be forgiven. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” [John 3:16] “And now why do you delay? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins in calling upon His name.” [Acts 22:16]

4) “Confessing with your mouth.” There is power in spoken prayer. You may say, “Jesus is Lord”, and feel the power in those words. Continue speaking with words to this effect: “Jesus, I need you in my life. I've not been tremendously successful without you, and so, now I'm going to be and do everything Your way. I repent of all the wrong things I've done, and receive the forgiveness that You gave Your life for to give to me. I believe that You are God, and that you died upon a tree, and rose from death to conquer all the works of darkness. You have made me a new creation, and I am now born again of the Spirit of God. Because of You, I will be with You face-to-face in heaven after leaving this life. I announce these things true in the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord.”

1) Do All of What Jesus Christ Has For You. With your faith in Christ, be baptized in water and in His Spirit. Allow God's love & grace in you to possess your life and purpose, day and night. Follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in all that you say and do. Obey Him as His disciple. “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who is stubborn toward the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation [anger] of God is remaining on him.” [John 3:36]

2) Go tell somebody! “If you confess [avow] Me before men, I will confess you in front of My Father.” [Matthew 10:32]

3) Abandon your self-awareness for the Presence of Christ in you; pray and take up His Word in reading from the Bible and in fellowship with others who know Christ. “All scripture is inspired of God, and is beneficial for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be equipped and prepared for every good action.” [2 Timothy 3:16]

4) God has always got a place for you. Ask him to guide you to blessings in fellowship, grace, love & service to Him.

5) Pray every moment within your spirit. Talk conversationally to God. The Spirit that is within you will put you in touch with Him. He does speak to us today, and you will better learn by Him how to hear His voice.

6) You're no longer alone. There is no more reason to despair, for He says, “I am with you every day, even to the end of the age.” [Matthew 28:20]
