Choose Eternal Life!

John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Life just happens! But serving Jesus Christ requires deliberate action. Life will go on all around you, and you don’t have to do a thing. You can sit and watch the sun rise and set and not lift a finger to do anything, and life will still go on. Babies are born, and death takes others away, but life goes on. Some people are thrilled to the heavens about life and others are depressed enough to die, but life goes on. Whether we choose to participate in life or not, life will continue to move forward, moving us into our future and our eternity.

But it matters the choice each individual makes regarding their life. It is so important that we choose eternal life in Jesus Christ and take deliberate action to serve Him. Take advantage of the opportunities God gives you today to ensure that your eternity includes Him! Choose Eternal Life! 

What's On Your Calendar? by Myra Boozer

“For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we EVER be with the Lord... Wherefore, COMFORT one another with these words,” 1Thessalonians 4:16-18.

For the Child of God, this should be on your Calendar! He is coming! We don't know when, but we know He is Coming. I do NOT regret the years I have lived my life with this anticipation. Even though He has not returned yet, it has shaped who I am and kept me more focused on what is eternal rather than what is temporal. The word temporal means worldly, not spiritual, secular, or limited by time. (Webster's New Dictionary)

I believe the way we live our lives each day has such an influence on ALL the decisions we make, and on our goals and expectations for life. If we are continually focused on our plans for today, if our life revolves around "us" and what we want, we will be grabbing for all that we can get, not really thinking of the day we are living in and where we are on God's Calendar.

We then become addicted to THINGS. We are never fulfilled, never satisfied, always searching, always desiring "something" new, something different to fill our life. You see, this is a trick from all the way back to Eve and the "lust of the eye." It was just so appealing, and she just had to have it. Also, the promise from the serpent was that it would make her like God. It inevitably brings its reward of spiritual death if not repented of. What’s On Your Calendar for the next few weeks or months? This thought might help us to re-evaluate where we are and where we're going! 

Power To Fulfill God's Purpose! Conclusion

(for part 1 see 9/27/26)

Luke 4:2-13 gives the details of the confrontation between Jesus, the Son of Truth, and the Deceiver, Satan. The grueling encounter continued for 40 days. Satan used all his best tactics, but he had no power over the Son of Truth. All he could do was to walk away from the battlefield in defeat. But Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit! Luke 4:14, “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.”

This classic battle has repeated itself every day since that time. The same scenario has played out in our lives. The Truth has prevailed, and the deceiver is defeated. That is God’s Plan!

After His departure, Jesus sent the Holy Ghost to lead and guide us into the fullness of our relationship with God. The fruit of that relationship will cause us to seek for and walk in God’s purpose for our lives. It is expedient that we experience the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. It is equally important that we yield to His leading to recognize God’s purpose in us. It is not enough that our days are filled with “good” works, but our works must have their origin in God’s directive for us.

Power to serve God’s purpose only comes in the power of the Holy Spirit! That is why we must experience His regeneration and indwelling. Submission and obedience to the Holy Spirit is the only way we have the Power To Fulfill God’s Purpose! 

The Promise! by Myra Boozer

IF you are open to the SPIRIT of GOD, YOU will receive a spiritual move of the HOLY GHOST in YOUR Life TODAY! Maybe a filling, or a refilling, of this promise! This is not a hack or a scam. This is a promise given by our Lord when he left this earth. He told us that He would give us another Comforter, that He would abide with us forever. John 14: 17, "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you." John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Never before in my lifetime has the world needed to receive this message more than today. Many are afraid they are being hacked by God. They don't want to lose their position of being prominent, conspicuous = outstanding, renowned. They want to remain the leader in their lives! BUT, when one surrenders fully to the leading of the SPIRIT, they will be renewed, having their eyes opened, seeing clearly what God is directing for their life, and find the Peace that passes all their understanding. There is more JOY in the baptism of the Holy Ghost than my words could ever tell you! As the Bible says, taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD, Psalm 38:4.

My prayer is that you will OPEN your heart and your mind to HIS SPIRIT TODAY! Read the book of John with an open mind and receive what the Spirit has to say...This is Your Promise! 

Power To Fulfill God's Purpose?

Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

The first requirement that God expects of us is total and complete surrender to Him. The Apostle defines that here as presenting “your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God...” That is where we start! From there, we must allow the Word of God to have its perfect work in us by the power of the Holy Ghost. Be separate from the world and be changed by regeneration in the Holy Ghost. Why is that necessary? So we may discern the acceptable and perfect will of God. This transformation can only be performed by the Holy Ghost.

Immediately following His baptism by John the Baptist, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Matthew 4:1, “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” Jesus had just left Jordan, where He saw heaven open and the Spirit of God descended like a dove and lighted upon Him. Luke addresses the same event in Luke 4:1, “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.”

Jesus was full of the Holy Ghost and possessed the power to fulfill God’s purpose. Then came the beginning of the testing. Ryrie states that Satan’s intention was to make Jesus sin to thwart God’s plan for the redemption of man by disqualifying the Savior. But this event was not for the benefit of Satan. The Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, and God’s purpose was to prove His Son to be sinless and thus a worthy Savior. Ryrie states further that it is clear that Jesus was actually tempted, and it is equally clear that He was sinless. (continued)

Jesus Christ And Love Are Synonymous! by Myra Boozer

John 13:34, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

As Christians, should we be united in "Love" or in Christ Jesus? You may say, "Well, God is Love." But love is elusive apart from the love of God in His Son Jesus. True love comes from God. But the love the "world" knows is tolerance (to put up with)...This is not God's love. God's love is Jesus in the fact that He gave His only begotten Son to die for this world. This is true love. If the world doesn’t receive Jesus, it does not receive love. Tolerance and love are two different things. We are to live in His love, walk in His love, speak in His love, and rejoice in His love; then we can also die in His love...Tolerance will only take you so far, but the Love of Jesus will take you to the end.

God, open the heavens and reveal your love to us. When you do, the world will see none other than JESUS...Jesus, the Savior of the world, the Bright and Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon, the Beginning and the End.

Don't settle for a form of love or a counterfeit of love...It will fade, it will pass, it will not endure. There is NO substitute for Jesus, no matter how hard anyone may try to convince you. Do not be deceived! This love the world is talking about right now is NOT Jesus but a false Jesus, a facade (the way something appears to be is not necessarily what it is). Rise up, Church, and show Christ to the world, for they have lost vision of Him...They only see what they want to see, and it is tolerance of one another, not the love of Jesus.

There is NO unity for us without the "Head of Unity," the originator of unity. The God of Peace will come when the "Gift" JESUS, which He gave to the world over 2000 years ago, is received.

Rejoice and be glad for your Redeemer lives. He is about to reveal Himself to this world when He steps out on the clouds in the Eastern sky, with the sound of the trumpet.... Rejoice, and again I say rejoice… 

Friendship With God?

James 2:23, “...Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”

Abraham put his faith and trust in the Lord God Jehovah. He trusted God enough to do as God directed in his life. The implication is that after Abraham considered all the facts regarding his relationship with God, he could follow God without any reservation or doubt. As he walked in obedience with God, his life was a testimony to the faithfulness of God. Therefore, “...he was called the Friend of God.” What did that mean for Abraham? It meant that God considered their relationship so intimate and important that He (God) was compelled by that relationship to reveal to His friend those events that might affect his life and God’s calling upon that life.

Gen. 18:17, “...And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”

God’s expectation of Abraham was that he would obey the voice of God. Abraham would be the vessel through which the nation of Israel would become a great and mighty nation. All nations of the earth would be blessed through him. God knew that Abraham would require his house and lineage to “keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment.” Therefore, Abraham needed to receive the information that would prepare him to make the correct choices and respond appropriately. So in verse 20, God warned him of His plan to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of their sin and wickedness. Abraham petitioned God for any righteous souls that might live there. Consequently, Lot and his family were warned. They left and were saved, except Lot’s wife, who disobeyed and looked back at the destruction of the city and was turned to a pillar of salt.

How is any of this relevant to our lives today? As professed followers of Jesus Christ, we must have an intimate personal relationship with God. That it is said of us that we are friends of God. That He is compelled by that relationship to reveal to us, His friends, those things that might affect our lives and His calling upon us.

Know God, and then you will know His will. When we come to really know Him intimately, His nature becomes our nurture. He then is the driving force within us, affecting every decision and move we make. Our lives have been so affected by our encounter with Him that we have been forever changed in our desires to BE like Him.

“...I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly...” John 10:10. We truly begin to live life to its fullest in Jesus Christ! I AM A FRIEND OF GOD! HE CALLS ME FRIEND!!!
