A Place To Learn and Share Knowledge About Christianity As We Seek Peace of Mind Which Comes By Getting To Know Jesus Christ (The Only True Access To God)
I logged onto Sid Roth’s website sidroth.org and watched an episode where a guy (Bruce Van Natta) was almost cut in half. During the accident that caused his injury, two tall angels appear out of nowhere and begin administering help.
But rather than hear it from me, try viewing the Sid Roth episode where Bruce Van Natta retells the story.

It brings tears to my eyes. Jesus is real and loves us just as God the Father does. I sure hope you believe.
I know I am protected by at least one angel. I don’t always thank them enough but I have on occassion thanked them for being obedient to God in protecting me and my loved ones. I’d like to encourage all of us to give thanks to God the Father, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit, and also our angels. They are real. If they were not, why would the bible make so many references to them. Read Psalm 91, which I pray for protection of loved ones (especially my kids). In particular, look at Psalm 91:11,12
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
And look at Psalm 91:14-16 where those who love and call on Jesus are bestowed these promises:
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

Tayarisha Joyce Get Saved So You Have Access To God, His Glory, and His Promises
All you have to do is to pray something similar to this: God I believe in you Heavenly Father. I believe in your only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus was birthed from the Virgin Mary. I believe Jesus walked this earth. I believe that Jesus was sent here by you for my salvation. I believe Jesus actually went to Calvary, was put on a cross and took on the burden of sin for me, my forefathers and foremothers and all to come after me. I believe that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary but on the third day after death, Jesus was resurrected. Jesus was risen to be in heaven with you Father God. And the Holy Ghost that Jesus gave up,dwells in me, the Holy Ghost in me is stirred up, it is awaken in me from this day forward. I ask Jesus to take over my heart. I ask for foregiveness of all my sins. I ask that any sin or anything that I’m not aware that displeases You Father God, that You make me aware of it so that I may ask for foregiveness and repent Heavenly Father. Jesus thank you for what you did for me and all my loved ones. Come into my heart and reign there forever, my Savior, my Lord, my King. I ask these things by the power, love, and redemption of the shed blood of Jesus. I ask these things with love and praise for you Heavenly Father. I am now a believer. And I ask these things in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
A friend forwarded me an email that really made me think about the pain and suffering Jesus went through for all of us to have Access To God.
I encourage you to take a minute to read this, put it in perspective and give thanks to God the Father and Jesus Christ for their love, mercy, and grace of salvation (eternal heavenly spiritual life).
THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty
At the time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixtion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.
Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.
The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There’s a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.
Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.
Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.
Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds.
From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.
He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon) of blood.
Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.
All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).
Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.
So that your sins could be “washed” away. All of them, with no exception! Don’t ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).
He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about you.
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 14:6
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If you are not saved, you DO NOT have direct Access To God and you DO NOT have all the benefit of all the promises God gives to those who are saved, those who have gone through the rebirthing of themselves through salvation. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be good enough to be saved. God will accept you right where you are. He has done this for the worst criminals, the worst backsliders. There is nothing any of us can do to deserve this foregiveness of God. Instead it is a gift from Him because of His grace, mercy, and love for us! Thank God for that. So to ensure that you have Access To God and all the promises and blessings such as healing, prosperity, redemption, eternal spiritual life, you must be saved. All you have to do is to pray something similar to this: God I believe in you Heavenly Father. I believe in your only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus was birthed from the Virgin Mary. I believed Jesus walked this earth. I believe that Jesus was sent here by you for my salvation. I believe Jesus actually went to Calvary, was put on a cross and took on the burden of sin for me, my forefathers and foremothers and all to come after me. I believe that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary but on the third day after death, Jesus was resurrected. Jesus was risen to be in heaven with you Father God. And the Holy Ghost that Jesus gave up,dwells in me, the Holy Ghost in me is stirred up, it is awaken in me from this day forward. I ask Jesus to take over my heart. I ask for foregiveness of all my sins. I ask that any sin or anything that I’m not aware that displeases You Father God, that You make me aware of it so that I may ask for foregiveness and repent Heavenly Father. Jesus thank you for what you did for me and all my loved ones. Come into my heart and reign there forever, my Savior, my Lord, my King. I ask these things by the power, love, and redemption of the shed blood of Jesus. I ask these things with love and praise for you Heavenly Father. I am now a believer. And I ask these things in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life! And feel free to send your friends the link to this blog posting:
I was watching The Jazzspel with Eric J. on The Word Network and he featured Pastor Tony Moore and his wife Kim Moore and a tool they created to help troubled marriages and to enrich healthy marriages. They created “Radical Love” a 12-week faith based marriage skills building program. On the show they included testimonies of couples that were black, white, young, old that had been through every challenge in a marriage. One couple faced several challenges in the course of a 5 year marriage including the death of a child, infidelity, unforegiveness and more. Yet their marriage has been saved with the Radical Love program.
Another couple dealt with the addiction of pornography. Another couple dealt with the man living a double life, and he had committed a crime and as a result of the dysfunction, their son was depressed and had considered suicide.
Yet all these couples were able to save their marriage. Now I’m sure they have to take one day at a time, but they were able to find a tool to help them with the process. And each couple highly recommended the program.
Kim Moore said on the show that she believes God is using President Obama and his marriage and family as an example and testimony of the importance and possibilty of marriage. And she feels God is about to make a great move concerning marriage and gave us the Obama’s as an example of a marriage filled with genuiness, spontaneity, and love.
Kim Moore went on to say how Radical Love is different than other workshops in that it gets each spouse to focus on their individual relationship with God.
Pastor Tony Moore and Kim Moore do visit churches and make presentations. But anyone interested in setting up small workshops or groups that cover the topics in Radical Love, should go to the site and order the Radical Love DVDs.
I think a marriage is worth fighting for. Why not use biblically based tools to fight? For more information visit http://www.radicallove.org
One day I was stressing out because there was so much on my plate. There were so many things being done and things needing to be done.
I shared my burdens with a friend and they sent me a link to Kirk Franklin’s song “He Will Supply”. Take a listen below:
