GOD'S GRACE

Great is our GOD'S Grace. Great is HIS love for us that HE gave HIS Only Begotten Son, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, to die on the cross for us men and for our Salvation. If we seek HIM today and not wait for HIM to find us, things will go better for us. Amen.

AMAZING GRACE
by John Newton (1725-1807)

Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.

THE LORD has promised good to me.
HIS WORD my hope secures.
HE will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing GOD'S Praise
Then when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln, one of our most favored Past-Presidents, named after the Biblically named Abram, first Man recognized by GOD, THE FATHER, because of his righteousness and obedience to HIM and because of this GOD changed his name to Abraham, was not successful most of his life. He failed many times; but countless times THE LORD GOD lifted him up and renewed his spirit when he was brought to his knees by the trials of this world: loss of loved ones, failure in business, courageous political campaigns run with little to no money, deep depression, and unbelievable anxiety. Yet, he became one of this country's most beloved and annointed Presidents.

THE LORD GOD breathes new life and a renewed spirit by sending us HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, who saves us, washes us clean with HIS blood: One ounce of HIS blood is good enough to wash away what we cannot even in one lifetime, performing Great acts of retribution do, baptizing us in THE HOLY SPIRIT, purchasing us so that we are to follow HIM wholeheartedly, joyfully, rejoicing merrily for having eternal life with HIM; thereby reconciling us to GOD, THE FATHER whereby there would be no other remedy. THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY does this time and time again even in the private lives of our Presidents. Time and time again, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST saves us even every day. Upon baptism, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY burys the old self in with THE LORD JESUS CHRIST'S burial so that we are a new creation, renewed, reborn, and made whole and asked to walk in a new light with HIM. GOD, THE FATHER, and THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, and THE HOLY SPIRIT walked with braham Lincoln to guide him then, and even today THEIR WORKS are still felt with the inaugeration of our new President who will thankfully, prayerfully, and reverently be sworn in using THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY'S WORD by the use of Abraham Lincoln's HOLY BIBLE.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION- WHAT WOULD GOD, THE FATHER ASK?

What would I want you to do for ME in this New Year? Many things come to mind; but there is really only ONE resolution that is truly worth MY attention in this day and time and that if you do this ONE Thing, ALL Resolutions Henceforth will become inconsequential compared to it because all that you would ever want and ever need would be fulfilled because of a Promise I made to a man named Abraham many years ago. And if you’ve already done this ONE Thing, you are good with ME for this One Lifetime.

That ONE resolution would be for you to receive MY SON, JESUS CHRIST, into your heart today to reconcile you to ME and for you to believe that HE is MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON and for you to proclaim HIM to be your Lord and Saviour who was sent to you by ME because of MY great love for you.

HE who has MY SON has eternal life, and HE who does not have HIM does not. Which do YOU have? If not, say this prayer right now for yourself then invite anyone you care about and want to see again in Heaven to pray it, too:

“LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, I need your forgiveness. I am a sinner. Thank you for sending your precious SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, who died on the cross in place of me for my sins. I receive HIM now into my heart and life to be my Lord and Saviour and King of both Heaven and Earth forever and ever. In the name of GOD, THE FATHER; GOD, THE SON; and GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT I pray and thank you and love you. † Amen.”
