Enjoying the Bible

God made me from dust through Adam. Then God made me rich from the inside out from and through the blood of His only Beloved Son as Jesus the Christ [3 John 1:2, 2 Corinthians 8:9].

When God cursed the snake to eat dust (i.e. me), all the days of his life [Genesis 3:14], he has been roaming around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour [1 Peter 5:8, AMP].

But thank God for having transferred me from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His love [Colossians 1:13, AMP].

Darkness is not having God’s love or not knowing that He loves me. I am not without God’s love. God is for me, with me and in me [Romans 8:31, Zephaniah 3:17, 1 John 4:4, AMP].

God loves me!

The death of His only Beloved Son as Jesus the Christ has shown and proven it [Romans 5:8].

Today, I am no longer food for satan. The only Beloved Son of God as Jesus the Man has redeemed me from the curse [Galatians 3:13, AMP].

God’s love for me has redeemed me from the curse.

When I see Jesus, I see God’s love for me.

When I hear Jesus, I hear God’s love for me.

Hearing how much God loves me as shown and proven by the death of His only Beloved Son as Jesus the Man causes me to trust Him.

Hence, faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).

What did Jesus say? He said in John 16:27 [AMP] –“For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father.

When I believe that Jesus is the only Beloved son of God, I accept the demonstration and proof of God’s love for me. With that, I see God as my loving Father Who tenderly loves me.

I am a success because God loves me.

Everything I touch prospers because God loves me.

I am filled with joy and peace because God loves me.

I am healthy and wealthy because God loves me.

I am highly favoured and richly blessed because God loves me deeply.

All good things, goodness and mercy hunt me down because God loves me.

God has demonstrated and proven His love for me by sparing not even His only Beloved Son because He so loved me from before antiquity to eternity [Romans 8:32, John 3:16, AMP].

The show “Love Boat” reminds me of Noah’s Ark. Noah’s ark reminds me Jesus the Christ. Jesus the Christ reminds me of how much God loves me!

Labor Pains

John 16:21-22 likened Jesus' disciples to a woman in labor.

²¹A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.

²²So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight).

John 16:33 is the epidural:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
