Do you know?

Do you know for sure your going to Heaven? It's not as simple as yes. You have to know within you that you are. Living your life by the design that God made after you received His son as your Savior. That is truly how you will know. Are you reading God's word, are you spending time in prayer; everyday? Are you seeing a change in your life? Do others see that change? If you truly got saved there is a change within you that resonates on the outside of you. You can't know Jesus, and stay the same way you were before you got saved. Galatians 6:7 says Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; (death) but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. What are you doing with your life? There is a complete change in you when you start to live for God, with His son Jesus as your Savior. Do you still cuss, still watch things that God wouldn't want you to. Go places that you shouldn't. Don't think that God is not watching and not judging.

That change is not only spiritual, but emotional and it will change you physically. There will be a peace about you that others see, and want to have. That peace is Jesus. Do you have peace? He says in the bible that His peace passes all understanding. Do you have that peace? The only way to have it is through Jesus as your Savior living within you. Think about that for a while. If He is in you how can you not have peace? He is to be your focus, not your trials and troubles. Not your bills, or your kids, or your husband or your job etc. Jesus is to be your focus. When bad things happen, and they will; even as a child of God. But, with the peace of Jesus living in you and you looking to Him you handle it in a different way. We are not supposed to be depressed as Christians. When bad things happen our flesh wants to focus on that, and tear us down. But, with the peace of Jesus living in you and you giving the problem to Him it doesn't destroy you.

I'll give you an example in my life of how I know that Jesus lives in me and I am truly saved. My husband fell off of a roof in February of this year, and he works for himself. So, this could have destroyed us, but it didn't. We gave the problem to the Lord, and didn't worry about it. You may say how can you do that? Well, we had no choice but to trust Him. He told us He would supply all our needs, Philippians 4:19 says But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, and He did. God delivered us out of it without a financial crisis. We never missed a house payment, or any of our other bills. We were supplied for without asking anyone for help. They all called us and came by with food, and money, or mailed money to help pay our bills. (I know the world helps people to, but with worry and fear.) I had no fear through this. I trusted God to supply what we needed and He did. Even if it had of meant that we lost our house and had to move into an apartment etc., we were fine with the outcome. How, because of the peace that passes all understanding that we can't explain. I had so much peace through that trial that I can't explain it except it be for Jesus. Thank you Lord, I love you so much with all my heart and soul. As the song says, Jesus bring the rain. It's meaning is God, if that's what it takes for me to love you then bring the rain. I will worship and adore you and praise you through the rain. I have had a lot of rain in my life, and I didn't always praise Him. There were times that I thought I would lose my mind, and times that I thought that if I just ended my life the pain would all go away!! I was so wrong. I was in so much pain, I was looking at me and not Jesus. That is why I can now say that if you Know Jesus you can't be miserable. He has changed me from the inside out. Every day is a new day to praise Him and love Him and Thank Him for ALL that is good in it.

Do you know Jesus, and that kind of peace? If not, then bow your head and ask Him for that peace. He will not ignore you. He is waiting for you right now. All you have to do is say this: Jesus, please forgive me of my sins, come into my life and Save me. I believe that you died on the cross to save me from my sins. And I want that peace within that you say surpasses all our understanding. I love you Lord Jesus, my redeemer and friend. And I am now a child of God. Thank you Lord God. In Jesus name, Amen

If you said that prayer with all sincerity He is just, and saved you from your sins. It's now up to You, not Him to change you. It starts with you. Make that change to change your life one day at a time. He is waiting to bless you with that peace. He loves you enough to do that. Philippians 4:6 says Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know unto God, 7: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I love you with love of Christ that's in me, Uylonda
