From Your President’s Heart:

When my children were young, they loved camping. It was before the days of cellphones, and there was no telephone in our camper, so they had Mom all to themselves. Can you imagine that?! As a busy counselor I was constantly receiving phone calls at home, and the children just wanted that time when no one else could interrupt.

Now just imagine, as a child of God, we have the full attention of the maker of the universe any time we call upon Him. He’s never too busy, and He’ll never be called away before we have finished pouring out our hearts to him. What a privilege! Why don’t we use it more often?

I think one of the primary reasons is a lack of understanding regarding the blessings we have in Christ Jesus. We are the children of the Almighty, yet sometimes we get so focused on earthly concerns that we forget to cry out to Him or trust in Him. Before long, we’re shouldering every burden, feeling defeated by trials, and suffering from feelings of inadequacy.

If we are weighed down by fears and emotional baggage, it doesn’t have to be that way. Peace, joy, freedom and victory should characterize believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. These qualities fill and stabilize us as we focus on the spiritual riches that are ours as a result of salvation. So what exactly has Christ provided for us? I’d like to focus on just three of His many gifts.

First of all, we have God’s acceptance. “He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace with which he favored us in the beloved.” (Eph 1:5-6) One of our most basic human needs is a sense of acceptance and belonging, and that’s exactly what Christ gives us. Once we’ve trusted Him as our Savior, we become a part of God’s family forever.

The Lord doesn’t tell us to clean up our lives and stop sinning before coming to Him. We couldn’t do that even if we tried! He simply invites us to come just as we are to Christ, believing that His death covers all our sins. In that very moment, we are forgiven and clothed with Christ’s righteousness, The Father accepts us, not based on who we are and what we’ve done, but on who Jesus is and what He did. “He (God) made Him (Christ) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2Cor 5:21)

Now, that doesn't mean we can willfully live a life of depravity, God's gracious acceptance is a motivation for holy obedience, not a license to sin. It enables us to come to the Lord in confession, receive forgiveness, and participate in the sacraments in the lifelong sanctification process. Though God hates sin, He loves and accepts His children.

Another amazing gift we have in Christ is eternal life. Contrary to most peoples’ understanding, eternal life doesn’t begin after we die and enter heaven. Rather, it becomes ours at the moment of salvation. Jesus said, “The one who believes in the Son has eternal Life.” (John 3:36)

We usually think of eternal life as living an infinitely long time after we get to heaven, but it’s much more than that. Eternal life is an entirely different quality and character of life — it is God’s supernatural divine life indwelling in us through our union with Christ Jesus. “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.” (1 John 5:11)  That’s why believers can never be lost, when Christ is our Savior, His divine life is flowing through us right now and will continue forever.

A third gift Christ gives us is a fellowship with God. Having been one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, John wrote, “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.”  (1 John 1:3)   Whenever a person believes the Gospel and turns to Christ in faith, he or she enters into a personal relationship of fellowship with Christ and the Father.

Are we living in the reality of these three gifts that are ours in Christ — God’s acceptance, eternal life, and fellowship with the Father and the Son?

When we believe and live in these three truths, they become a vital part of our thinking and sustain us through every trial. Instead of being burdened with defeat, inadequacy, insecurity, and heartache, our faith will grow and so will our confidence in the Lord. We will rely on our heavenly Father with the love of a child. When a child loves its Father, understanding and enjoying HIs blessings will set us free to enjoy a victorious Christian life!

(I have given you a lot of Scriptures. Please read them all!)

Prayerfully yours in Christ Jesus,

Our Prayer Breakfast in July was phonomenal and the Holy Spirit rested on us in a mighty way! Some have been calling me to provide the prayer of protection for our homes that I read. This prayer is as follows:

Dear Lord Jesus, please surround us, our families, friends and our homes with a perimeter of Your love and protection throughout this day and night and every day - 100 yards in all directions. Lord Jesus, render any demons that are here or should try to come deaf, dumb, and blind. Strip them of all weapons, illusions, armor, powers and authorities. Disable them from communicating or interacting in any way. Bind, sever, and separate them, binding them directly to the foot of the cross, without manifestation or harm to us, or to anyone else, to be dealt with by You, Jesus, as You see it fit. May Your precious blood cover us. May the Holy Spirit fill us, and Blessed Mother, place your mantle of love and protection around us in our homes, from any event of fire, theft, vandalism, flood, storms, elements, and accidents of any sort, distress, hardship, curses, and all unwanted things. I ask all this in Your name, Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and in the power of the Holy Spirit. We call upon St. Michael, St. Joseph, St. Padre Pio, and St. John Paul II, and all the saints and angels, to pray for us. Amen.
