We who have given our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ should never take
lightly the gift that God has given to humanity. The Lord who saved us
from death and hell deserves for us to live wholly for Him forsaking every
lust and carnal desire that the enemy tempts us with. We sometimes forget
at what a great cost our salvation comes and not thinking about the
suffering that the Lord Jesus went through on the Cross makes it easier for
the enemy to infiltrate our thoughts and tempt us with his lies. The Bible
tells us in 1 Peter 5:8-9 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (Romans 8:31-39)
We must guard our hearts and minds thinking only on things above not
allowing the death of the enemy to come into our hearts. Remember what the
Bible says in James 1:14-15 “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn
away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it
bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
The Lord has given us free will and calls us to live as children of light
doing that which is good and acceptable in the sight of the Lord.
I hope this message speaks to your heart to live purely before the Lord
forsaking every sin of the flesh and dedicating your life to the perfect
will of God.
IN HIS EYES
Years ago, I belonged to a church that stressed the saying, once saved,
always saved. Because of being brought up to believe this, I fed into the
common act a lot of shallow Christians feed into. I would sin willfully,
with the intention of repenting the next day.
Rededications were frequent for me in those days, until one night when the
Lord appeared to me. He had the crown of thorns on His head. He was bronze
from the sun, and His eyes shown with compassion and love like I have never
known. Tears streamed down His face, as He spoke to me. His lips did not
move, yet I heard Him in my Spirit, all the same, say, “Cyndee, why do you
crucify me over and over again?”
As I gazed into those eyes, they were full of substance. All He was,
pierced my heart. His great love for me flowed from those eyes into me,
melting my stony heart. Revelation of the meaning of salvation ignited me.
My heart was a flame of True repentance, as I had truly met the Master and
seen through His Eyes the way I had been.
I was changed that day. His love changed me forever. His Love today is what
changes anyone. The Love of God is Total, and it is Substance. In God's
Love is Revelation, and in His Love is Understanding. In His Love is Salve
for the Blind Eyes. In His Love is Salvation from our lost self. His Love
is never empty and shallow. When you taste of His Love you will be filled
with Him and come away with something good in hand. You can never taste His
love without the revelation of its touch leaving an impression that will
last forever.
The Love of God comes to all of us with loaded down benefits of revelation
of Himself. It reveals the whole essence of God with one simple
introduction. Without it we could never understand why we would want to
know this one called Jesus. When He chooses to introduces Himself, we
then, understand why the word says, “...He First Loved Us.” “Taste and see
that the Lord is good.”
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was
lost, but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.
Blessings to you today and may you be saturated in God's Love.

Be encouraged to live your life purely before the Lord dedicating every
aspect of your being to His good and perfect will for your life. The Lord
wishes to bless you and make you a blessing so that you may be a testimony
of a completed work in Him. (Luke 22:42) (Proverbs 22:4) (1 Peter 5:5-7)
Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Psalm 19:7-10 “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of
the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is
pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for
ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More
to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also
than honey and the honeycomb.”
Philippians 2:12-13 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not
as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both
to will and to do of His good pleasure.”
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth
for ever.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
