To Know Jesus is to Know God!
NO JESUS -- NO GOD
By coming to this page, you may have questions about Jesus Christ.  You can find answers to those
questions here.  If you are like me, you probably lived part or most of your life removed from the knowledge
of who Jesus really is.  And maybe - just maybe, you will find that knowing Jesus Christ is the best
relationship you will ever make in your life.

There are four words that come to mind as it concerns You and this process of building a relationship with
Jesus Christ,  
Your & His POSITION,
HiS PLAN, His PURPOSE, and HiS PROVISION.

Your Position
Jesus Is God and this is an ETERNAL position for Him.  Depending on your POSITION right now, you
might be thinking that you may not be ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and recognize
Him as God of your life.  How you want to continue to live is key to your understanding!  Let's face it, if you
have everything you need in life, there is no need to seek out someone to help!  However, if you are like
most who have a VOID or
an emptiness that you can't put your finger on,  If so, you are in a position to
receive Christ and the fullness of His love.  Do you have a VOID in your life?  Do you feel empty inside?  If
the answer is yes!  Read on!

To change your life position there are a few things that you should know:

1) God is not lost,
you are without Him.  He stands at the door and knocks.  All you have to do is
answer!

2) God created you and you are special in His eyes!  Even if you THINK you failed in life or failed in every
other relationship, you are not a failure to God.

3)
Man does not have an answer that is better, more appropriate, or personally suited for you.  God
has "THE" answer for you
and it is the right answer at the right time.

4) Man or LAW has no way of giving you the inner PEACE that you truly desire. A life full of peace sounds
wonderful doesn't it.  It is God's PEACE you desire and the PEACE of God passes all man's wisdom and
understanding.  You will be pleasantly surprised to find that God's peace was the answer to all of life's
questions and specifically to your problems.

5) God wants a Change in your life and He offers you His life to assist you with those changes as a gift of
His Grace.

6)
You do not deserve God's Grace, nor can you work for His Grace.  If you earn
something it is not a gift.  God's gift to you (when you do not deserve it) is called GRACE.  GRACE is not
something you can earn by being good or going to church.  THIS IS AWESOME --  "YET, while we were
still sinners Christ died for us." This Bible verse states the magnificent plan of God to see you through as
someone who has lived a life of sin and YET you are accepted by God as Jesus becomes your sacrifice.  
Pleasing God with our lives is a by-product of our relationship that is constantly being built -- SO START
NOW!

7) God requires NO CHANGE from you, but He does require repentance and a desire to please God with
your life.  Repentance for sin is not being SORRY for what you have said and done although you may be
SORRY.  Repentance is knowing you are in sin and separated from God that requires God to forgive you
as you ask for forgiveness for what you have done with an internal desire never to do the same
again.  Pictorially, it is a 180 degree turn from your life of sin with no looking back.

8) God wants you NOW,
as you are and He has a Plan for your life!

His Divine PLAN

The Plan of God was from the beginning.  From the moment in time that God created man His plan was to
see you in His presence living with Him in eternity.  The attempts to distort how man has come into
existence outside of CREATION has been postulated with many a theory that still seeks answers as they
pass by the magnificence of a CREATOR who made us in His image and likeness.  A simple look at the
design of the human body alone brings us to the conclusion, their is a Creator.

The Plan of God was to give man the exclusive right and authority on earth as the most dominant and
productive of His creation.  We were made to look and act like God.  In many respects we have god like
qualities because of His Plan for man, therefore He gave us the ability to pro-create and to create with the
elements, materials, and substances that He alone created.

The plan of God was to see man (being made in His image and likeness) make the right choices with a
blessing if they did.  If man (by choice) makes the wrong choice he suffers the consequences of the choice
he made -- apart from God.  This my dear friend, makes God more amazing in His ability to be God.  We
were not created as robots or as angels who work for God at His command.  God gave us the ability to
choose Him or reject Him.  If it is our choice to choose God, both He and we are blessed.  If it is our choice
not to choose God, He allows us the freedom to make that choice because He gave us the authority to do
so without interference from Him.  What we get is life apart from God when we insist on being our own god
and He lets us go to the judgment we made for ourselves.

The Plan of God was to see you (all of us) in His presence by our Choice which is His choice for us.  We
have to be in agreement or we live life on our own apart from His presence.  There are things God has
done unilaterally with creation and He has authority to do what he wants when he wants.  When God
made man in His Image and Likeness, He willingly entered into a bilateral covenant with man with the
PLAN to see His most prized possession blessed in His presence by their choice not His.  To do anything
other than that would be contrary to His character and nature as God.

The Plan of God involves a way out of the nature we were born with.  We keep that same human nature
and allow the nature and character of God to enter us.  When life with God begins it is the most amazing
time in our life as we partner with Him in the rule and authority that now governs our lives.  When we make
the decision for God the burden of life is taken off and we begin to live life with a Godly purpose.  Don't
you want God's plan for your life?  Once you receive God's plan for your life you live with a new
PURPOSE!

His Divine Purpose

The Divine purpose of God from the beginning was to see you and I blessed with His Presence.  No other
part or created being was made in the image and likeness of God.  When thinking about that statement as
you look around at all there is you begin to see how unique we are in respect to everything else.  We can
move mountains, and create with all that has been created by using the knowledge we have and the ability
to reason.  We are so far above all other aspects of creation no matter how glorious or awesome it may be
in appearance.

The purpose of God was to see the greatest of His creation blessed in His presence.  The purpose of man
is answered ONLY when we know who God is.  Apart from our knowledge and understanding of who God
is, we have little in the way of purpose.  It is true that we may accomplish great things as human beings but
we must put that in perspective when viewed in comparison to creation itself.  As we look at the
accomplishments of man compared to the accomplishments of God, there is no comparison.  However,
when we begin to look at the accomplishments of man compared to man we find ourselves in this great
battle to see ourselves viewed as being better, more or less productive, more or less knowledgeable, more
or less influential, more or less appropriate, more or less significant, more or less needed, more or less
wanted, more or less desired, and finally more or less valuable.  When any one or all of those indictments
are true about how we see or think of our lives we are always left wanting and never fulfilled.

The purpose of God is to see you fulfilled with His love as a man or woman of God.  We do not know what
LOVE is until we have a personal encounter with the LOVE of God.  We can only experience the love of
man when God is not present.  The love of man no matter how genuine, appropriate, wanted or needed
can never compare to the love of God.  God's purpose in loving you was to see you complete in his
presence.  God's love for you is complete, always wanting more for you, never overbearing, always
considerate, and always there for you to hold and embrace.

The purpose of God for you is DIVINE in nature and Godly in appearance.  Therefore it is God's
PROVISION for you that makes a personal relationship very personal because God provided a sacrifice for
you from His own Family.  When you accept this provision you receive the LOVE of God in your life and a
new appearance results as His presence in you brings you to NEWNESS of life.  Don't you want God's
plan and purpose for your life?   God's plan and purpose are olly accomplished by receiving His
PROVISION for your life with Him.  THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.  YOU GET TO BE WITH GOD THE
FATHER THROUGH THE
PROVISION OF JESUS CHRIST AND THIS IS  GOD'S PLAN!

His Divine Provision

The Intent of God is for all to be saved and come to the saving knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.  
Unfortunately, not all are going to accept Him as Savior.  This is your opportunity!  We are told that Jesus
is not going to lose one disciple that the Father has given Him.  YOUR PROVISION FOR LIFE WITH GOD
IS JESUS CHRIST.   If you are the disciple ready to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord you will not
be lost any more.  You were known by God before God made this earth!  You were seen by God through
the sacrificial blood of His Son Jesus Christ as being one of His.  To think that God knew you when you
were in your mothers womb is hard to believe but it is true.  He chose you for salvation. Accept it!  To think
that while you were still a sinner Christ died for you is hard to believe, but it is true.  Believe it!  To think
that God wants to live in you and take residence in your soul is hard to believe, but it is true.  Receive it!  
To think that God wants you empowered with His Holy Spirit for ministry and family connection is hard to
believe, but it is true.  Desire it!

The Provision of God the Father sees you conformed to the image of God the Son.  This confirmation
takes place as you get to deal with life and the decisions you are prompted to make through the Holy Spirit
who lives in you when you make that crucial choice in your life.

The Provision of God sees His people blessed with knowledge and understanding that leads to wisdom.  
The practice of God is to love you more than you ever thought possible with the limitations of the human
mind.  Once you receive the mind of Christ and the prompting of the Holy Spirit that leads you into
righteousness you will come to know the Practice of God for those he loves.  It is your decision to make
and when you do you will hear in your heart the resounding praises of God when He whispers -- Welcome
Home.

The Divine Purpose, Plan, and Provision of God is to see you established with Jesus Christ in your life.  
Are you ready to give the reins of your life to Jesus?  Are you ready to accept His Plan, Purpose and
Provision, for your life right now?   

To accept Christ right now, Please pray and know you are being heard by God as
you speak from your HEART with humility!  

Father,
I know I am a sinner and I ask you to forgive me of my sin.  I have sinned against You As a: man
woman.
I know I was born with a sinful nature with this sinful flesh and I know I committed acts of sin
against others and those I love as well.  I ask You Lord Jesus to forgive me of my sinful nature
and all the acts of sin I committed.  
I do not want to be kept from You and
Your love any longer!
 Jesus, I invite You and Your HOLY Spirit into my life.  I know
that You (Jesus) were born of the virgin Mary as a necessity to maintain your HOLINESS as God
and I know and believe you suffered a horrible death as a sacrifice for my sins.  
I ask for
forgiveness of my sin that only You can provide.
 I know now that you are God
and you are the Lord Jesus who loves me.  
I invite Your presence and Your Holy
Spirit into my heart.
 Jesus, make me into the person You want me to be and I will serve
You as a willing servant in your kingdom.

I accept You Jesus Christ as my God, My Savior, and the Lord of my life!  
I Thank You for saving me from eternal separation from the Father as You give me the gift of
Eternal Life .

Lord I will remember this time and date and I will tell everyone about the grace you gave me.  In
JESUS  Name -- AMEN
Mark the current time and date that you prayed this prayer __/__/200_ at _____ AM or PM -- in a
Bible or permanent record for future use.

Dear friend, if you prayed that prayer and invited Jesus Christ into your heart, you are now part of the
family of God!  Please get a Bible and read
Romans 10:9.This verse will verify the position you NOW have
with Jesus because you are SAVED!

Follow UP is a MUST -- so don't stop here!  A good athlete practices to get better.  A good musician
practices to play better! A good Christian practices the truth of God and as he/she learns what God wants
and applies that truth to their lives.

This is what I suggest you do:
1.  
Go and tell someone you are a "Born again Christian" (See John Chapter 3.  Tell
someone (friend, family, stranger, boss, co-worker etc.)  "I accepted Jesus as my Savior" and give them
the time and date of this glorious event." and  E-mail me with your decision to follow Jesus at:
serviceinla2@yahoo.com  Remember to put in the subject "I just accepted Jesus"    

2.  
Look for a Christian Church and go.  Fellowship with People who love Jesus as you join a
Church family.  If you have difficulty finding the right Church, e-mail me and I will assist you as best I can.  
If need be, we will talk on the phone after the first initial e-mail.  Please ask for counselling if you need it.  
serviceinla2@yahoo.com

3.  Read the BIBLE every day.  Begin reading the Gospel of John.  If you do not have a Bible,
E-mail me and I will assist you in getting one.
serviceinla2@yahoo.com

4.  Pray -  His Holy Spirit is now in you to accomplish in you things you have not thought possible.  
PRAY and ask God to fill you with every good work and every good gift for His Glory.  

5.  
Be Humble - The NEW CREATION attire you now wear has the presence of God all over it.  Be
filled with the Spirit of God and you will look and act different.  Wear the Love of God with humility as you
start your practice of Worship and Praise.

6.  
Love your neighbor as your self.  Now that is GOOD!
