Things I know!

Our Pastor issued a challenged us to make a list of things we know or believe.  If we don’t know what we believe, how can we tell others?

Here is a list of things I know:

God is good ALL THE TIME!  God cannot and will not fail.  God is in control of everything.  God loved me so much He allowed His son, Jesus, to die on a cross in my place.  I know Jesus went to that cross willingly for me.  I know that despite what the media or the world will tell you, it is God who reigns in the earth.  I know that His promises never fail.  I know that God can bring hope to the hopeless and a glad heart to the downhearted.  I know I would never want to live my life without Him.

I know that God has blessed me with all the riches of heaven.  I know that He has given me an awesome wife and daughter.  I know that the job I have is because God is the one who gave it to me.  I know all my material things came directly from His hands.  I know that I do not in any way, shape, or form deserve anything that He has given me.  I know that it is humanly impossible to fully express what God is to me.  I know I will not fully be able to understand God until I am made perfect by Him.  I know that sanctification is an ongoing work in me.  I know that I am not perfect, but I serve a perfect God.   I know God intends me to serve Him, and Him alone.  I know I want to be the best husband, father, and child I can be.  I know that God has had me in His hands at all times.  I know my life has been marked by Him and ordered by His plans.  I know God loves me and He is watching over me.  I know that he has plans for me – to prosper me.  I know that he has redeemed me and destined me to be an overcomer.  I know that in all things I am more than a conquerer.  I know that I can trust Him in all things.  I know that I do not operate in lack but in prosperity.  I know that I have all I need through His grace.  I know that I have the power to overcome any circumstances because my source is God.  I know God chose me to be His child.   I know that I long to worship Him with my whole heart, in truth and in Spirit.  I know that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit exist as one in three parts. 

I know that God is the answer to ALL the questions.  I know that All things were made by Him from the smallest to the greatest.  I know that God’s presence is everywhere.  I know that God has the answer for every hurt, disappointment, letdown, problem, desire, motivation of every person reading this.  I know that Salvation is a free gift from God.  I know that God’s grace abounds in overabundance everywhere.  I know that evil exist in the world, but is subject to God in every way.  I know at any point that I get my eyes off of God and feeling down, that Jesus lifts me back up.  I know that Jesus was a real man and also God at the same time.  I know He came to earth as an infant.   I know that Jesus was beaten, hung on a cross, died, was buried, and on the third day He arose.  I know that He is alive today.  I know he is ever interceeding for me with His heavenly father.   I know and am fully confident that one day I will step from this life into an eternal life with Him.    I know that God can meet you where you are right now.  I know that there is no sin too horrible for God to forgive.  I know that all my confidence about in Him, you can be assured of the same thing.  I know that God longs for a relationship with you, His child.  I know that God is not angry with you.  All his anger was poured out on Jesus at the cross.

How do I know all this – because I met with Him this morning as I do every morning.  I walk with Him all day long.  He never leaves my side.  I feel his loving arms around me at all times.  I call Him my Abba! Father!  Of all these things, I am sure, without a single doubt or reservation. 

Now, let me ask you.  What do you know?
