"Only Life Changes"

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

James 1:4-5 NIV

{Prayer}
Thank You, Lord, for not rationing Your wisdom when I seek it. You always give more than I ask in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Luke 21:33 NIV

“Prayer”
Lord, help me to keep my mind fixed on You and Your true way of Salvation in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“So, God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” Genesis 1:27. God created Adam from the dust of the ground by breathing life into him. So, he literally carried the “breath of God” inside of him. We were given physical bodies, but the Lord also gave us spirits, the way He exists. God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, were not inactive before creating the world. God planned and purposed it before humanity came onto the scene. Once we were created, God then directed His love and energies toward us. All we need to know about God is what He has done and what He plans to do in the future. He has revealed this to us in the Bible – the Word of God. As we read the Bible we will see as we read and study and pray that God is all and all. Nobody created God because He has always existed. God is supreme above all things. He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. We will never be able to comprehend the great depths of who God is. From the Bible, we know that God is necessary for the creation of all things. God is a purposeful, personal, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Being. God is one Being in three divine Persons. Yes, God created the universe. There’s just one almighty God “LORD” who created this whole world. Scientists claim that the universe was created by an explosion of energy and matter. Which then assembled to form the different planets and eventually life started after millions of years. There is one black hole where universes are created and expelled but they are still related to their origin which brings the concept of the Trinity and beyond so yes, every universe was created by God who has the purpose of administrating it. Briefly summarizing all living good or evil are loved by God as all are his creation. The reason God created the universe is the same are the reason he created humans. In both cases, it is because God, by his very nature, is relational. God himself exists as three–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son loves the Father. They are one, the Father gives glory to the Son and the Son loves the Father (John 17:20-23 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.). God seeks relationships. Throughout His earthly life, the Lord Jesus was demonstrating to His disciples that He was fully God yet fully Man. John 20:23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” John 17:23, NIV: I in them and you in me–so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. So, we can’t miss it. Ironically, there are wide differences of opinion on the subject of unity among those who profess to follow Christ. As believers, we are called into one body, the body of Christ Jesus. We are to strive for unity among ourselves in all things. Unity is the state of being one or single of minded. The God we serve is a God of unity who desires that His church lives in unity and harmony built on the foundation that is Jesus Christ. It is Jesus who draws us together and the power of the Holy Spirit that makes our bond stronger between believers and unbelievers. Our triune God is the supreme example of unity. Adam and Eve enjoyed peaceful fellowship with God, but their sin brought a great division between them and God, and consequently, between us and God (1 Corinthians 15:22 NIV For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive.) Through the cross, Christ brought us into a loving union with God.

( 1 Peter 3:18 NIV: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. ). Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

James 5:16 ESV

{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that You created all and all that by grace through faith I have the privilege to enter into the presence of the Lord and abide in Jesus Christ and He in me. I believe that I may walk with integrity, truthfulness, humility, and grace. I believe that in Your strength, I may bring forth godly works of righteousness for Your name’s sake. May my actions and attitudes reflect the godly characteristics that are pleasing in Your sight. If there is someone out there in this world that wants to know You and repent let them speak this prayer with me from the heart. Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I ask You to please forgive my sins. I believe in my heart that Jesus is Your Son; that He died for me on the cross and that You raised Him back to life. Jesus, I declare that You are my Lord and I open my heart to You in Jesus’ Precious Name Amen.
