Heart of the Cross, Quick Word | Wed November 2nd, 2022 | God Knows What You Can Handle and What you Can’t!
You can click the link to watch:
James 1:2-4 KJV
“2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
Temptations:
"Peirasmos”
(Pi-ras-mos’)
It’s a putting to proof,
Putting to the test!
(by experiment (of good), experience (of evil), solicitation, discipline or provocation); by implication, adversity:--temptation, X try.
So temptation ALSO, means to test or try!
And, by implication: adversity!!
It’s actually talking more, about misfortune than temptation but more importantly, the bottom line is, that it’s about seeing how well we deal with it all!
Much like Job.
Though most of the time it's not to the same extent, God allows us all to be tempted AND tested.
So the word “temptation” here is more about being tried or tested!
What a joyous itnotation, that God would have that much confidence in us!, AND our!, walk with Him, that He would know, that just like Job, we would not turn away from Him!!
Imagine the joy, the Father himself has, when He sees, that we overcome temptation and show the enemy, that we will not bow down to him, that we will only serve, the one true, living God!
That like Job, we cannot be turned, from our faith and love for our blessed Savior!
We know, God will not allow us to be tempted (or tested) with more than what we are able to handle.
1 “Corinthians 10:13 KJV
“13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
So really, God knows we can!, handle it!
So then when we fall, who’s to blame?
It’s not God!
Nope, we are....
Ok so now, are you ready for a blessing??
Here we go:
James said in verse:
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
The trying of our faith worketh patience!
Patience-"hupomone" means: in a constant!, cheerful, and hopeful endurance!!!
A HAPPY, continual endurance!!
No more waiting anxiously!, but enduring happily!
What a difference it makes, when we serve Him with the faith!, that HE, will make a way where there seems to be no way.
So think about it for a minute.
We're not tempted with anything new, or with more than we can stand!!
AND!
He makes a way out of every trial, test AND temptation!!!
He is a JUST God!, The only True God Almighty!!!
And He only tests us with what we can overcome, though Him!!
And that, even brings us joy, while in the anticipation, of His deliverance!!!
Hear me now, and listen closely, this is what the Lord told me:
We are “overcomers before we're ever, even tried”!!!
What Jesus did for me:
T H I S!!, is what Jesus did for me!
He shed His Blood in the Garden of Gethsemane (Gethsemane means “olive press”)!
Shed His Blood before Pilot, the cat of nine tails, the plucking His Beard and a Crown of thorns!
Jesus left a trail of Blood as He carried the Cross towards Mt Calvary!
Jesus shed His Blood as the Roman soldiers drove spikes into his wrist and feet!!!
Christ’s Blood splattered on the Roman Soldiers as they allowed to cross fall violently into the hole!!
Jesus prayed Father forgive them for they know not what they do!!
He said my God, my God!, why hast thou forsaken me!, as He took the sins of the whole world upon Himself and God could no longer reside in Him for He would not abide where sin was!!
Jesus cried it is finished, gave up the ghost so that you and I could go free!!
The Roman Soldiers pierced His side with a spear and Blood and Water flowed out.
The Blood symbolized Salvation and the Water symbolized the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.
He did it for all for ME!!!
AND FOR YOU!, as well.
That’s the kind of God we serve and love!!
The Bible says in Romans 3:23:
“23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
So how hard is it to get forgiveness???, to be freed completely from sin???
Just give your life to Jesus!!!
And how easy is that??, JESUS DID ALL THE HARD STUFF!!
Are we ready for Christ’s return?!?
If you’re not ready, pray and ask Jesus to forgive you!!
The Bible says in:
2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”
Amen!!
Then the in:
Romans 10:9-10,13 KJV
“9 That 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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you want to give your heart to the Lord, pray his prayer with me and mean it from your heart:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you now a sinner.
I feel so alone and helpless.
I know that I need your guidance.
I believe, that the one who died for me on the cross, is your Son Jesus.
I believe that He rose from the dead and reins victorious in Glory.
I don't want to die lost.
Lord Jesus, I ask you now, please forgive me of my sins.
I invite you to come and live in my heart. Lead me in your ways of righteousness. Teach me your Word Lord and strengthen my heart.
Help me testify to others and be a light to them in their in their times of darkness!
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul!
In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen.
Now, find a church to attend.
Ask the pastor about water baptism. Read the Bible every day!
Pray every day!
Praise the Lord every day, he inhabits the praises of his people!
And NEVER!, EVER!, GIVE UP!
F I N D S A L V A T I O N
We are freely justified by his grace!!
Romans 3:23-24 King James Version (KJV)
“23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:”
Sin came by one man, Adam and Grace came by one man, Jesus Christ! We can’t undo the curse of sin, only Jesus can do that! And He did! On the Cross of Calvary!! The Lord willingly shed His Blood on the Cross and therefore taking the punishment that we so definitely deserved!! And now, His Grace abounds!! All that is needed is for us to believe!!!
Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
“9 That 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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
So then, who can be saved? ALL who call upon the name of our Lord!
Romans 10:13 King James Version (KJV)
“13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
All who believe that Jesus is Lord and repent of their sin shall be saved!!
Jesus is the only way to escape the horrible guilt of sin!!
No matter how well you live, your sin debt is still alive and well unless you accept Jesus Christ as Savior! He and only He can free you and justify you!!
Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary for YOU!!!
The debt has already been paid for you and all you need to do is be sorry for your sins and believe that He is the Son of God!
Believe that He died for your sins on the Cross and that He arose from the dead just three days later.
Pray now and invite Him into your heart!
Tell Him you believe and ask Him to forgive you and be YOUR Savior.
Please, don’t wait, do it now while you still can!
As long as there is breath in your body, you can call on Jesus and He WILL forgive you.
Amen and Amen!!!
If you prayed, click on "More" in the menu bar, then "biography" then finally "contact" and let us know so we can rejoice with you.
God bless you!!

"O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.”
Psalms 105:1 KJV
I have heart disease, that I was quickly reminded of, when I tried to help bring a sofa up a flight of stairs. Chest pain and shortness of breath swiftly caused me to sit and rest. After a few minutes I was feeling better but still had a little chest tightness that eventually eased.
I’ve previously had a failed open heart surgery in which one artery was not bypassed. The good news, is that a small heart attack may be beneficial, taking away the issue of stable angina. The bad news, is that would HURT lol. The sad news is that, I continue to have chest pain with exertion and another heart attack is going to happen at some point. That is, unless the Lord totally heals my heart.
Anyway, After four heart attacks and one on the way, I had to quit my job, sell the house and moved into the RV. I didn’t get disability until two years later. If it had not been for God working through his children in Florida, we would have been on the street! They are beautiful people who love the Lord and they were a huge blessing to my wife and I.
Since then, and after a lot of prayer and after God allowed the disability to come through, He miraculously, allowed us to buy a home, with NO DOWN PAYMENT!
And with DECREASED INTEREST. And just like God, it’s much better than the one we had to give up.
And!, ALL of the expenses are much less than before!
The wife now has a newer vehicle!! Plus, I was able to keep my truck through all of this!
The best news is, I’m still able to minister with my music. God’s people are always willing to carry in equipment when I’m alone. Other times my wife, Ruby, does most of the work. In most cases, Ruby will have all the equipment torn down AND loaded! All while I’m still shaking hands and saying goodbye to folks at the product table! She’s such a hard worker and I’m so blessed with a wonderful wife! I love you baby!
So yes! Indeed: “O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.”
Psalms 105:1 KJV
God bless!
