The moment you have direct contact-revelation from Jesus, all pain, all worries, and all suffering will fade away. Do not push Jesus away from you. Amen

The Lord says He is the Only Saviour! Isaiah 43:11! Put your faith in Jesus alone! Jesus speaks only LIFE to you! Believe He can heal you! Say loudly: Jesus touch me touch me touch me touch me! He is more real than you can even imagine! And He will touch you! Talk with Him and follow His counsel! He LOVES you! Amen
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 KJV
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘
Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

I also think the same of you! I do not believe that that image is Jesus, as I do not idolize it. I know that some people can idolize it, but they must learn not to idolize it. It is true, when I see Jesus he is totally NOT like in the image I shared, but yes, He sometimes flies on a broomstick. So this is how I share my experience and living of Jesus. It does NOT mean that I see Jesus exactly like that, it is just to give you an idea that as we can move mountains, we can ACTUALLY move broomsticks. Not to mention that I am totally against burning witches as that is going against all commandments of love from God. Jesus told us not to judge and not to condemn but some people seem not to have understood that, I pray you can see this for yourself. It is actually completely innocent to see Jesus flying on a broom as He can do everything. If you think that it is not possible for Him then you have zero faith in Him. Have a great day!!
AMEN!!!! ALL GLORY be To God ALONE and YES!!!! Rebuke all graven images!!!! JESUS is prettier and handsomer than any picture can represent!! I LOVE YOU JESUS!! Bye Bye Graven Images!!!!
But now seriously, I think that sharing Jesus is great, even if it is an "graven image" of Him, but the truth is exactly what you say. Why depict Jesus a certain way? Jesus can be black, native american, gay, trans, a woman, because Jesus is ourselves! We are the body of Christ!! So maybe the white Jesus I posted could be qualified as a racist image. I know this point too. But apart from that, we all have our own perception of Jesus. Maybe you see Him black, I see Him white, chinese et cetera. So we all have the freedom to depict Jesus as we wish. I like the opinion of Jim Carrey: that Jesus contains all races, like Sem Cam and Japhet (Cam was definitely NOT black). Amen!
Dearest friend, God has a plan for your life, follow His voice and He will tell you what to do. Never push Him away from you and hear always His voice. Obey Him always and remember that demonic thoughts like "you do not have a purpose", "suicide", and so forth, come from the enemy, from Satan. You will probably see lights that guide you. These are angels. They will give you assurance in eternal life and Heaven destination. Do not be afraid to witness angels, the Lord sends them to you. Amen
Just passing by to remind you that God has a plan for your life. Trust in His Plan. Everything will end up just right. His will for you is to believe in His Son. Believe in JESUS, talk with Him, and He will show you His love. Jesus, go down and take me up to Heaven, I live for You to love me. Amen.
Do you know the Will of the Heavenly Father for your life? Today I am going to reveal it to you for free
Matthew 10:8 KJV
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give.
If we go to Matthew 7:21, we can see:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
So what is His will? Let's go to John 6:40!
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Easy peasy! To do the will of our Heavenly Father, you just have to BELIEVE in JESUS!
God bless you all!
Before you close your Bible today, pay attention to the Lord's Voice inside your heart. Go unto the book, chapter, and verse He whispers into your ear and receive His words of joy with hope and consolement. Amen.
Dear adelphos, we are saved through faith in His blood, the blood of the Lamb, the blood of Jesus.
I put my faith in nothing less than Jesus Blood and righteousness. In Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and
the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay:
but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
ROMANS 3:23-28

Matthew 7:21-23 is a profound passage from the Bible that carries significant spiritual implications. Let’s delve into its meaning:
In this verse, Jesus declares:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Here are some key points to consider:
- Salvation by Grace through Faith: Scripture consistently emphasizes that salvation is entirely by grace through faith. It is not earned through good deeds or religious rituals 1. Our works cannot merit salvation; it is a gift from God (Titus 3:5; Galatians 2:16; Romans 11:6; John 6:28–29).
- Sin and Repentance: Even believers, once born again, still struggle with sin. We need to continually seek forgiveness and repent (1 John 1:9–10; Hebrews 4:14–16). Salvation doesn’t exempt us from sin but transforms our hearts.
- Faith Reflected in Actions: While salvation is not based on deeds, genuine faith results in transformed attitudes and actions (James 2:14–17; John 14:15). Our faith should manifest in obedience to God’s will.
- Submission to Christ: Jesus is the way to salvation (John 14:6). Yet, submission to Christ is an expected outcome of salvation (Luke 6:46). It’s not mere lip service but a heart surrendered to God.
- False Faith: Some may claim faith based on their actions, but if their trust is primarily in what they’ve done for God, they miss the point (Matthew 7:22–23). True faith is centered on Christ alone.
In summary, Matthew 7:21-23 warns against self-deception and emphasizes that authentic faith leads to obedience. It’s not about empty words but a transformed life rooted in Christ.
Let’s explore
Matthew 7:22-23:
In this passage, Jesus says:
“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
Here are the key points to consider:
- False Confidence: These verses highlight the danger of false confidence. Some people may appear religious and even perform remarkable acts in Jesus’ name, but their hearts may not truly belong to Him.
- Works Alone Are Insufficient: The individuals mentioned claim to have prophesied, cast out demons, and performed miracles—all impressive deeds. However, Jesus emphasizes that mere works are insufficientfor salvation. It’s not about what we do but about our relationship with Him.
- Knowing God Personally: Jesus says, “I never knew you.” This implies a personal relationship. Salvation involves knowing God intimately, not just performing religious duties. It’s about surrendering our lives to Him.
- Authentic Faith: True faith is more than external actions; it’s about heart transformation. Authentic faith leads to obedience and a deep connection with God (John 17:3).
- The Heart Matters: Jesus calls them “evildoers.” Their hearts were not aligned with God’s will. Our actions should flow from a heart that loves and knows Him.
In summary, Matthew 7:22-23 serves as a solemn reminder that
genuine faith goes beyond outward appearances. It’s about knowing Christ personally and living in obedience to Him.
1 Corinthians 16:22-24 NIV
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
In
Matthew 13:52, Jesus shares a thought-provoking parable:
“Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
This metaphor emphasizes the role of those who study and interpret Scripture. Just as a homeowner brings forth both new and old treasures from their storeroom, these disciples, trained for the kingdom of heaven, reveal deeper truths—both from the Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in the New Testament era.
It underscores the importance of understanding and connecting the timeless wisdom of Scripture with the fresh revelations of Christ’s teachings.
