Jesus Christ forgave my sins!

My name is Isaac Serafino. The Son of God, Jesus, came to pay the price to set us free from sin. He said in His True Word the Bible:

If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

My personal experience has been that Jesus has loved me and had great mercy on me.
Even though I grew up believing in Jesus Christ, I acted like His enemy. I was scared of the judgment of death and destruction that I knew I'd receive for my sins. However, no matter how I tried to stop myself from sinning, I kept doing it again. When I read my Bible, the Lord showed me that I should admit my sins instead of hiding them. I talked to God just like you would talk to another person. I said something like,

Dear heavenly father, these things are sin, and it's my fault, please forgive me. Please give me strength to admit them and not do them any more. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I found the Lord Jesus to be so good and true. He has changed my heart. I want to invite you to believe that He's true, and to talk to Him to ask Him to save you. If you trust Him, it's not complicated to pray. You can even just say something like:

True God, please save my soul from Hell, in your Son the Lord Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

My friend Jesus hasn't ever let me down, and I know He'll hear you too.

Have you ever seen...

Isaiah 43:21

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

Have you ever been to The Meeting Place?

Have you ever stood together in the great crowd of people, singing, and praying with them?

Have you ever heard joy-filled the voices of brothers and sisters in Christ, raised freely, in sincere adoration?

Have you ever felt the Presence of God and His Holy Spirit, known the Peace, been filled with His Righteousness, and had the Hope to see His face?

Look now.

Where are the voices? Where are the faces? Where are the smiles? Where's the zeal, the joy, and the Love? It's all so homesick, so lonely, so sorrowful, so bitter, so cold, and so dead! Maybe you've never been there.

I have. I've had a taste of heaven, and I'll never look. Despite my own sins, I've caught a glimpse of something exceedingly great, and I've just begun to enter in. Though none go with me, still I will follow- no turning back.

We've forsaken one another, slid back, and forgotten our First Love!

Who will carry the torch of His Testimony?

Will we let His royal banner fall, battered, in the dust, and look the other way? Yes, and we have, haven't we? But He never will.

He has a plan to do a great work, in His people, His Bride, today, on the earth! He's looking for those who groan in their hearts, with the exceeding great pain, of the House, now completely desolate and forsaken. Heed the call. Take the torch. Lift the flag. Raise the standard! Shout it out. Don't refrain for a moment, the all-mighty message, if you dare to believe it!

Doesn't a calling from him continue to whisper, naggingly in your cold heart?

REPENT!

The Chosen Servant isn't Cast Away

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I Have Heard Thy Prayer

Isaiah 38:5

Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

This seemed hopeless- the Lord had spoken, and said what He was going to do. Hezekiah was going to die from his sickness. He wasn't going to live.

What was his reaction to the hopeless seeming thing, that was overwhelming him?

Did he just say, fine, that's the way it is? No, and it's a good thing.

He prayed to the Lord.

The enemy tries to deceive us into thinking that the difficult times we try to do what's right, won't do any good. Does the Lord know, does He remember, that I've been doing my best for Him?

Oh, yes! He sends His Word, just specially, to me personally.

Be comforted- He says, "I have heard thy prayer", and "I have seen thy tears". He will add to our days, and deliver us, and defend us, and He will do a great and mighty thing, which is better than we ever thought!

Spread it Out Before the Lord

Isaiah 37:14

And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

Hezekiah knew just what to do when he was in trouble. He went right to the Lord in prayer.

If you ever receive a problem that's too much for you, just take it and spread it out before the Lord.

Isaiah 37:35

For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

Jesus is Greater Than false "gods."

Isaiah 36:20

Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

Jesus isn't just another humanly invented idol.

None of the idols could deliver their nations from Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. Still, he made a big mistake when he thought that The LORD was just like the rest of them. What blasphemy! It was the Lord who used Assyria to judge those nations in the first place.

There's a great old hymn, that says, "All for Jesus, all for Jesus." Are all your thoughts for Him? "All my thoughts and words and doings. All my days and all my hours." Are your words and doings more for the creature and your own imaginations, or for the creator? How do you spend your time? "Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside." Have you lost sight of all besides Jesus?

There's another hymn that says "Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King." Is everything you ever sing only for your King?

Songs of Everlasting Joy

Isaiah 35:10

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

What is the glory of the Lord and the excellency of our God- so that we can look forward to seeing Him?

There's a Holy Highway for the ransomed, to the Streams in the Desert.

We will shout, and sing, since we have been redeemed!
