In The Beginning
In The Beginning
In the beginning I was innocent.
I had no reason to be afraid.
My hope was full and complete.
I loved the world.
There's no love in sorrow.
There's no hope with darkness.
I was so cold and helpless.
I was afraid to live.
Then it all went downhill.
We got sick and I couldn't fix it.
I tried everything, but nothing worked.
I couldn't take it anymore.
There's no love in sorrow.
There's no hope with darkness.
I was so cold and helpless.
I was afraid to live.
I broke and fell to pieces.
I couldn't get put back together anymore.
I tried so hard to stop it, but I had no control.
I wanted to die, but I wouldn't.
There's no love in sorrow.
There's no hope with darkness.
I was so cold and helpless.
I was afraid to live.
Then one day I got down on my knees.
I begged God to take it all away.
I don't want evil, I want You.
I'll do whatever I have to do.
There's no love in sorrow.
There's no hope with darkness.
But with God all things are possible.
I'm so sorry for all the wrongs.
I'm never going to give up on You.

Psalm 20
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king!
Answer us when we call!

Happy Resurrection Day!
Isaiah 53 (prophecy about Jesus written around 700 B.C.)
1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

What's so special about Passover?
Pesach (Passover) is so special because it represents a special observation of (1) when God freed the Israelites out of Egypt and (2) Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross, both of which occurred.
HE IS RISEN!
What is the meaning of Christ's death on the cross and resurrection?
"The first man Adam said to his wife 'I love her so much, I'll die with her,' but the second man Adam (Jesus) said to his wife (the Church) 'I love her so much, I'll die for her."
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Jesus is the Son of God. The Son of God came to earth in the form of a human being named Jesus, whose name means "God is with us." Jesus' purpose on this earth was to someday die on the cross for the sins off all mankind and then rise from the dead signifying His conquering death. God sacrificed His only Son so that all human beings (whom are all born with sinful natures inherited from the first two human beings named Adam and Eve after they sinned by being deceived by Satan) can by forgiven and put right by God by way of repenting (sorrowfully regretting) of their sins and accepting Jesus as the Lord and Savior of their life. A person decides to commit themselves to God and grow to become more and more holy like He is holy. The gift of salvation is a free gift given to us because of God's grace (a freely given, unmerited act of love). God originally created human beings to be perfect and to be in perfect harmony with Him, but when Adam and Eve sinned they broke that bond and became separated from Him by being stained with their sin. Everything that is good comes from God and everything that is bad comes from satan (who was once a beautiful angel named Lucifer that through his pride and wrath rebelled against God). Anyone that goes against God by sinning is really going against themselves and going for satan. Jesus is the key to being put right with God because Jesus is perfect, yet died a criminal's death. Jesus was free from sin, yet He freely gave Himself so that we human beings could be put right by God. When Jesus died on the cross, He took all the punishment that we human beings deserve as sinners, and took it upon Himself. That way, by just repenting of our sins, accepting Jesus into our hearts and putting our faith in Him we can be put right by God and become His Sons and Daughters therefore inheriting His Kingdom Of Heaven and all other blessings and promises. All of this is why it is so special that Jesus died on the cross and then rose from the dead. And His death on the cross occurred on what is now referred to as Good Friday. You have to know that God really does love you and wants you to be with Him. But, if you are a sinner (someone that continues to live in rebellion against God which is like being a criminal in the eyes of God), then you can't be put right with Him, and then your ultimate fate will be a place of eternal punishment commonly referred to as hell. This is the reality. This is the truth. Truth is not based on what you think or feel. It's based on an absolute Truth of God. There is only one Truth and only one Way. There are not many different ways to get to Heaven. There's just Jesus. And there is no nothing. It's real. I know. So, either you can accept it or not. But, if you don't, then you won't be able to say that you didn't know because I told you. God bless you all. Jesus loves you and so do I.

The 6th Of This Month
This is the day of the week of festivities that Jesus was crucified. Today is the Sabbath and my Dad was also born on the the 6th of April. He turns forty-five today. Needless to say, it's a very special day. I'm going to watch "The Passion Of The Christ" during the hours that Jesus was actually crucified (between 9AM-3PM Jerusalem time). I haven't seen the film since last year. I've specifically been waiting until this time to watch it. My brother said that it helped him to get saved when he watched it with me last year. The film means a lot to me.
My Blog & Its Purpose
Hi, this is my new blog website called "Jesus Is Lord Forever." Here, I'll be posting on various topics and will include some of my own compositions. Thanks and God bless. Jesus loves you and so do I.
I want people to come to the love and grace of the LORD Jesus, God's Son. I want people to understand who He really is and why they desperately need Him and, whether they know it or not, want Him. The purpose of this blog is to spread the love and message of Jesus, which is God's Word. I am interested in posting about different topics with a Christian worldview. I must come out and say that I am not perfect and I don't know everything. Many of the things that I will post are simply my own opinions and they might not be correct, as I am still learning and growing in my faith and love in Jesus. I don't understand everything. Some things I do, but other things I don't. Sometimes I think I'm right and later I think that I might be wrong about something. That's I why I needed to say that. There is only one thing that is certain and that is God and His Word. Many believers around the world, and actually non-believers as well, have their own interpretations and teachings of God's Word. This is why people must rely on God for the correct interpretation. If you don't have the Holy Spirit (which is what you receive when you become re-born through the Spirit Of Jesus) then you are going to have a very hard time understanding His Word, even if it doesn't seem like you're having a hard time understanding it. Even when one does have the Holy Spirit, it can still be very difficult at times. That is why one must be careful when interpreting it. We must rely on God and His Holy Spirit. Discern for yourself whether or not I am writing the Truth to you. Compare what I write to God's Word. Pray to God and meditate on it. I already know that some of what I say might not be correct. I hope it's not, but like I said, I know that I'm not perfect and I don't know everything.
