Thank You Jesus

Good morning and Wonderful Wednesday. Today I am just so glad that God looked at me and took me out of some things that could have made my life different. See as a youth I could been dead when I was playing with a gun and by accident it went off not harming me or my friends. As a teen I was progressing through the drug culture so much that I began to take pills that had me hallucinate. I could have been as an adult as I was so tired as I was driving that I also ran into a concrete barrier. But I know it was my relationship with Jesus who took me out of these and more situations and I want to say, Thank You Jesus.

My life has been filled with ups and downs. Like when I was a child how my friend got hit by a car and died. Or how the house down the street from where we lived caught fire and killed a whole

family. I sit back in amazement as that these tragedies could have happened to me or my family but by the by the precious Blood of Jesus. they did not. I take this moment and say Thank You Jesus.

As I go to the Word of God for this teaching of Thank You Jesus I go to Matthew 8:1-3. In these verses there is a man with leprosy that asks to be healed. Lepers at that time were looked at as the

worst of the the worst. There was a time in my life that I was considered the worst of the worst but by the love of Jesus who healed me I am now a teacher of his Word. Thank You Jesus.

As we continue with this teaching of Thank You Jesus I go back to the Word of God and to Mark 7:1-8. The religious leaders of the day attempt to discredit Jesus by using traditions as a way to

question his authority. Jesus lets them know that they are rejecting the commandments of God by keeping things so traditional. Thank You Jesus for breaking down the restrictions of tradition.

As I come to the conclusion of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Thank You Jesus I go to John 19:28-30. In these verses Jesus completes a difficult assignment and that is giving his life to save the

the souls of everyone. He did not just do it for me or my parents or my siblings or my grandmother or my children he did it for each and everyone and for that I exclaim, Thank You Jesus.

In closing I am just Thanking Jesus for bringing me out of some situations that were dicey. I could have been killed, in prison, in a homeless situation, always hungry, have no employment, no parents to help me even at my age, and numerous other things. Thank you for being my mediator. Thank you for saving me from myself. You have been so good to me.I could go on and on and on. I can not speak for you but I am going to scream from the top of my lungs and say Thank You Jesus for just being you. I give God all the glory and credit for this teaching. Great job this month everyone. Please join us next week for some new and exciting things from this blog including a word from the Superintendent of Rhema Word 2.0.
