A Christian Walk:

 Almighty God created the heaven and the earth and everything on it.  He created you and me!! He gave us the authority to rule and reign on this earth!!

Genesis 1:1-5: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

Genesis 1: 26-28: "Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image.  In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

Jeremiah 1:5: "“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.  Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

God gave us a freedom of choice!! He doesn't force Himself onto us!!  He loves you and me with an everlasting love. He sent His one and only Son to this earth to save you and me and to have an abundant life!!

John 3:16: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

John 10:10: " The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Deuteronomy 30:19-20: " This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

Choose life, Choose Christ and receive eternal life. To follow Christ you must be born again!! You must die to yourself!! You must ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life!! After you are born again then you will receive the Holy Spirit and also it is important to be baptised!!

John 3:3: " Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Acts 2:38: "Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Matthew 28:19-20: " Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Galatians 2:20: "My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. "

As a born again believer your life is going to be a different lifestyle than the world's lifestyle! You will be a light in the darkness! You will no longer want to be part of the world's lifestyle. It is so very important to sit under the Word of God!! Study, meditate, speak, sleep, focus and eat the Word of God!! It is very important because then you will stand firm, and nothing will pull you down!!

Matthew 4:4: "Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ 

 Romans 10:17: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Joshua 1:8-9: "Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.  This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

God said, "Be strong and courageous." Do not be afraid!! Your Heavenly Father is always with you!! With the Lord on your side, you will always be victorious! 

Psalm 118:14: "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."

Remember that Jesus has the victory!! He died on the cross and He was raised from the dead!! He has overcome so that you and I can live in victory!!

John 16:33: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

It is a different lifestyle, you are going to be like a stranger in this world because you don't belong to this world anymore, you are in this world but not from the world! You and I are Kingdom property!! We belong to the Most High God!

Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn." This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD."
