  • The Day of Small Things from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. As with many of my messages, this was a word for me, but I will share it with you as I found it encouraging. I have been building a new social media website for Refreshing Hope behind the scenes for months. It is a massive undertak...
  • Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

    Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea...

The God of the Universe

  • John answered them, 'I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know. He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen.' These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' John 1:26 WEB

    Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord's one commandment while living in the garden of Eden and it caused a rift between man and God for ages. Then God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to heal this gap, to buy us back. The perfect sacrifice, Jesus took all the sin of the world onto Himself when He died on the cross.

    Just as one man created the wound, one perfect Man healed it. The word 'world' in this verse is 'Kosmos', meaning universe. Jesus took away the sin of the universe. Though He did this over two thousand years ago, every sin that your great grandchildren will commit has already been paid for, even if they live on Mars. For He is God of the universe.

    Still, forgiveness is not automatic. You actually have to ask for it. 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness' (1 John 1:8).

    You may have many problems in your life, but a sin problem is not one of them. No matter what you have done in your life, simply say, 'God forgive me' and then try your best to stop doing it. Jesus suffered for You and has already paid the price because God thought you were worth dying for. You are worth dying for. Never look down at yourself, for He would have died just for you.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father please forgive me of my sins and the things that I have done wrong in my life. Come into my heart and lead me from this day onward. Help me make the right decisions and open the right doors for me, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
