A Hallelujah Moment!

PAID IN FULL

When our parents Adam and Eve sinned against God, they bequeathed to us a legacy called “The Sin Nature”. We were doomed. Then came Jesus Christ! God the Son agreed to become flesh and blood and come to earth so He could die in our place and pay the debt we owed God the Father for all our sins. Next thing I know you and I received invoices marked SIN DEBT PAID IN FULL! NOTHING FURTHER REQUIRED.

Hallelujah! All of mankind can now approach Almighty God anytime, anywhere, everywhere. Direct access to God was restored forever. So my friend, what is stopping you from securing your eternal salvation? Walk right up to the throne room and stake your claim on “The Blood” and you are complete!

Turn aside a lifestyle of sin. Wrap yourself in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. And when the trumpet sounds there you are floating upward, singing “I Fly Away Oh Glory!” Hallelujah. 

Enjoy your weekend.

Blessings and peace,

Hortense

A Special HI for You!

God is Good

Say prayers before getting to bed at night. Present the uncertainties of your life to the Lord? Ask Him to send hope and strength for the coming tomorrow. Offer the sacrifice of your voice in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for the staples in your life. In the stillness of the night Jesus Christ is still listening out for you. The Lord is alert. Father God is wide awake and waiting to hear from you. Jesus Christ will miss you if you do not give Him a friendly or fatigued shout out. He will be hurt to know that you did not call Him. The Lord will miss the intimate chit-chat between you and Him.

Of the billions of people in the universe it is you that God wants to hear from. Give it a try. PRAY! Reach the Lord. If all you have is sweet nothings share those with Jesus. To know the Lord is to love the Lord! Every day I find out something so much more awesome about Jesus Christ it blows me away! I guess that is why it is called the “Christian walk”. It is truly a walk with Jesus. And you discover many things along the way as you stroll hand in hand with the King of Kings!

My friend, Grab your Bible, and feast on God’s Word. The signs of the time are everywhere! Do not be caught off guard. Soon, it could even be tonight, the trumpet will sound and that would be it. Over just like that! This world we crave to belong to, the entire facade, everything, would be gone. Just like that!

Make certain you have accepted salvation and are living right under Christ righteousness! And you’ll have nothing to fear. Tell your children, too. You couldn't bear to see them looking distressingly at you as you ascend simply because you failed to impress on them how critical it is to receive salvation and live right in the eyes of God. You brought them here into the world. You are responsible to make sure they "get out" of here that day!

Blessings and peace,

Hortense

LIFE APPRECIATION 101

GO AFTER HAPPINESS

My Friend, Life is Good: Life is Beautiful—Live Life Joyfully! It is the only life you have on earth. Have a mentality to be happy. Set your mind that you will overcome and be a winner. You were created by your father God, the King of Kings. The reigning King has created you in His image and likeness. You are a phenomenal person. Whether you like it or not, you are royalty. It may not always appear that way to you but, you are genuine royalty. Believe it!

Isn't it a fact that a child of a King is a king or queen in the making? Royalty is in your DNA—behave like one. Be happy, satisfied, victorious and glad. You may be tired, beaten, broken, barren, weary, confused and lost; yet you keep overcoming. Life is still beautiful Remain joyful. You will overcome. You will survive and thrive. You will look back and reflect your pain was preparation for your promise. God will make sure you arrive at your expected end. God’s Word, the Bible, is Truth.

Go ahead and embrace everything good about yourself. You are that radiant star brightening the lives of those in your care and around you. You stretch yourself thin, while yet putting your best foot forward. Be proud of yourself. Your life has purpose and your life has meaning. Your bright future is ahead waiting for you to grasp it. It doesn’t matter how old you are or how long you have lived, as long as you are still alive, the next minute is your future—tomorrow is considered your future! Until your eyes are closed in death you have a future on earth. Otherwise you have a future in Heaven. Live a full life—full of laughter, peace, patience, and calm. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL, SATISFIED, CONTENTED, HAPPY, LIFE. No faking here, I am talking about you experiencing real joy and allowing yourself to enjoy your beautiful life.

I cannot tell you enough how much you mean to Jesus. That is why the Lord has made every good thing out here for you. Embrace life and embrace the good out of life. Enjoy your weekend and celebrate that you made it through, regardless. Please make it a priority to go to church on Sunday. Whatever you do, or don’t do, find a little time to spend with Jesus. Say a prayer and read your Bible, even it if it no more than one verse, read the Word! God’s peace and His presence will fill you up. Jesus will make His Face to shine upon your face.

My friend, do not let happiness elude you. Go after it.

Blessings and Peace,

Hortense

A Special HI for You!

GOD IS GOOD - Part II

How often we forget that our Father God likes to be praised. The Lord wants us to say thank you. God will give us anything and everything we need. All we need to do is just tell Jesus thank you. The Lord just wants to know what He gives us is appreciated by you. He wants you to feel the special importance He places on each of us. The Lord wants us to be free in His presence and return the love He freely gives us. The Holy Spirit wants to roam freely in your heart. Open up and let Jesus take the best seat in the house of your soul.

Our heavenly father is not asking for much. He just wants a thank you note. Talk to Him, today. Tell your father God you love Him. Repeat to Him just how much you adore Him! Let the Lord know you are thrilled to have Him as your friend. Pledge to Jesus Christ that you will always remain a true friend to Him.

Get your bible and read a few verses. My friend, the signs of the time are everywhere. Do not be caught off guard. Today could be the day the trumpet sounds! In a split second it could all be over. The world and all its trimmings would evaporate! Just like that. Only what is done for Christ will last. Jesus is the only permanent arrangement.

Blessings and peace,

Hortense

A Word from HI

GOD IS GOOD - Part 1

If you rely on your feelings to tell you that you are sinning against God, and you are living a wrong lifestyle, you will always be consumed by sin. Because God answers your prayers, many times the way you want, it does not mean that The Lord is totally pleased with you. God answers prayer because of His nature. The fundamental nature of God is God is good. God cannot change who He is because of you. The Lord works in you to bring you to a deeper understanding of who He is. God will always keep His end of the bargain. Do you?

Take a moment to thank The Lord for his faithfulness to offer forgiveness of sins. Ask Jesus to cleanse your mind, spirit, and body. Find a Bible and read a few verses.

My friend, the signs of the times are everywhere. Do not be caught off guard.  

Blessings and peace,

Hortense

Good Friday

REDEMPTION COMPLETE

Today, please take a moment to rededicate your life to Jesus for the Work that was finished on Calvary, over 2000 years ago today. Good Friday happened so that Easter could arrive.

Because of Good Friday and Easter we are now Sons of the Most High God. What a privilege! Our redemption is complete. Hallelujah! Amen.

Blessings and peace,

3-Day For Jesus

GIVE IT UP FOR JESUS

In three days we celebrate Good Friday, the day Jesus Christ willingly walked the excruciating journey to Calvary to die for our sins. We live in this new day where disregarding Godly living has become so fashionable that we hardly notice when are headed in a downward spiral. We have become so tolerant of many things the Lord has specifically said we should not do. We make excuses and make up rationale for wrong and evil doings. We cast aside holiness and tell ourselves that “we are human”. My friend, when Jesus Christ comes again there will be no showing of grace on that day! He is coming as the Judge of all the earth. I tremble when I think of standing before Him to answer for my countless misdeeds and my unmatched frailty and numerous flaws. All day I’m begging Him for forgiveness. As we say in Liberian English, “me my part I scared of trouble!” I am quick to ask the Lord for pardon of my sins. I refuse to be left behind here on that day.

Let’s help one another make it to the Kingdom. My friend, if you can for the next three days, try to take a little Fast (Wednesday-Friday) and give up a bad habit for Jesus to take to the cross for you. Sacrifice at least, one of those ugly ways that you are known for. We each can find one. Calvary was not a joke! Let’s take Jesus Christ more seriously. Christians, get your acts together so you can do the job Christ left for us to do: Evangelize the world until He comes again. You cannot go “out” there if you are not “in” Him! Give up something for something better. Give up a vice for a virtue! Fasting breaks stronghold and releases prisoners. Blessings to you.

Blessings and peace,

Hortense
