My flesh and heart may fail
          	But God is the strength of my heart 
          	and my portion forever

Jesus name means salvation. 
          Why do we need salvation?
           Because we sinned against God and we are unable to save ourselves.
           So God made a way to save us from the wages of our sin(death is a separation from God eternally). 
          
          What did God do?
           He gave Jesus, His only son, to pay the wages of our sins. And God raised him from the dead and made Him sit at His right hand having dominion over everything.  And God gave us the right to become His children if we put our faith and trust in Jesus. Repent and believe. 
          
          If you don't know how you sinned against God, you can check your morals by the ten commandments. 
          
          God bless you with spiritual understanding and wisdom, in Jesus name, amen.

God is good for revealing these things to me and I want to share it with you also.
          I pray in the name of Jesus that this message will reach your heart and may the Holy Spirit open your mind and heart to understand this message, amen.
          
          Upon reading Luke 23:39-43
          
          One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” 
          
          
          This chapter is about Jesus' crucifixion where He was hanged on the cross with two criminals. 
           One of the criminal railed Him. Attacked Him in words, criticized Him, mocked Him. 
          Imagine this person is already hanged, any moment he will die. Maybe he is already weak and in pain but the anger in his heart towards Jesus is great.

Here's another wonderful revelation,  God drew that person to Jesus. God planned it already, God knows that person will be crucified with Jesus that day. God knows and He drew him to Jesus. 
            
            
            So brothers and sisters, whatever and wherever situation you are in right now, whether like this man crucified, unable to work, unable to move, in pain, suffering, about to die, in worst situation, in depression, in persecution, whatever that is, GOD IS ABLE to lead you to Jesus. God is able to lead you to salvation. God is able to save you wherever you are, whatever situation you are in. God is able to help you even in the point of death. God is able to save.
            
            Praise God
            
            Be not like the other criminal who criticized Jesus in times of trouble but be like the other criminal who put his faith and trust in Jesus. 
            
            May you be blessed with this message and share it to others as well. 
            
            For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, Jesus, that whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 10:9 ESV
            [9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 
            
            This person believed Jesus will resurrect and be in heaven. He confessed his faith and believed in his heart. 
            and Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” 
            
            Today salvation has come upon him. At that very moment. He wasnt even dead yet. He was still breathing when He entered the kingdom of God. 
            
            Here is the truth of God's salvation. You don't need good works to have salvation. It is by faith. 
            Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
            [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Maybe while in prison he already heard of Jesus and the miracles He performed. Paul said that faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God. Maybe this prisoner constantly heard the news about Jesus from his fellow prisoners and the guards. 
            And when he met Jesus and this revelation came upon him, he saw that he's a sinner and deserves punishment but not Jesus. 
            Here we can see that this person has confessed he's a sinner and deserves judgement. 
            
            "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
            REMEMBER ME. This is a testimony of faith. A proclamation of faith before Jesus. The person believed that Jesus will go to heaven. He believed that surely Jesus will come to God's kingdom. He believed and put his trust in Jesus. 
            
            Hebrews 11:1 
            Faith is the assurance of the things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. 
            
            This person has not yet seen heaven. This might be the first time he saw Jesus face to face , unrecognizable from the wounds and bruises that Jesus endured. Yet he believed and put his trust in Jesus. Despite the persecution around them, he boldly proclaimed his faith before them.

Ask yourself, 
          will I stay in a place where I have everything but Jesus is not there?
          
          
          now, ask yourself again where you are right now, is Jesus in there?
          
          
          Invite Jesus in everything you do, in everywhere you go, in whatever you say. 
          Jesus is so willing to have a personal relationship with you. 
          
          You can start now.

I can't contain it therefore I must share it 
          
          God is so amazing! 
          
          I can't fully comprehend but I am joyous right now!
          Before, God came and dwelt with His creation through Jesus Christ. 
          Now He came & dwelt with each one of us through His Holy Spirit. 
          God is so personal!
          
          God, in human form as Jesus, is limited in the physical but not through His Holy Spirit now. He makes His relationship with us so personal. 
          
          Whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life
          That my body is now the temple, the dwelling place of God wow
          PRAISE GOD FOR WHO HE IS

I realized that we really can't run away from God,
          those thoughts that filled my mind that I am far from God, He is far from me, He is too far, He is not here, as if God is somewhere out there in another place.
          
          But the truth is God is everywhere. 
          He is beside you, before you, behind you. He is in you. With you. He is everywhere. 
          God is not like one thing that only exists in a specific place or body.
          God is spirit. He is omnipresent. 
          
          Those thoughts that God cannot hear us nor doesn't care about us are all lies. 
          
          Because clearly He who gave us ears can hear, He who gave us eyes can see. 
          
          Do you really think that God is not caring for you? Do you really think that you are a worthless, useless human being?
          
          Remember this, even the farthest star serves a purpose in this whole universe. 
          You are more than that. You belong to God. We are all His. 
          
          God loves us so much that He gave Jesus to die for our sins, to save us and be with Him for eternity.
          
          and here's so amusing...Jesus is God in the flesh.
          
          John 1:1-4,14
          [1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
          [2]He was with God in the beginning.
          [3]Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
          [4]In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
          [14]The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

1 John 5:1-8,10-12
          [1]Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
          [2]This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
          [3]In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
          [4]for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
          [5]Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
          [6]This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
          [7]For there are three that testify:
          [8]the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
          [10]Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
          [11]And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
          [12]Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
