A FOREVER SACRIFICE
Oh Father in Heaven, I thank you,
For sending your Son
He chose to die for our sins,
An innocent man's blood.

He did not have to die,
He could have chosen not
But He suffered immense pain
To save us from our lot.

He was whipped, beaten and spit upon,
Because they were frightened of him
But they had no idea who he was
An insane man? NO, He was in fact the Savior of Men!

The crown of thorns He wore,
Were not sitting on his head!
They thrust the thorns into his skull
And still more blood He shed.

Through the crowd, He carried His cross
Our symbol of His glory
His painful journey would soon be over
But no one would forget His story!

Then the nails they did hammer,
And with each excrutiating blow
He gazed upon our faces
For He loved us so.

A sword they thrust into His side
Another needless torment.
Blood and water flowing down
Oh, Lord, how I lament!

His clothes; they gambled for
As He watched in a tortured state.
These men were evil to the core
Therefore, Hell will be their fate!

God turned His head away,
As the sins of man, upon Jesus were lain.
He felt terribly alone,
His body writhing in pain!

As darkness filled the sky,
And the veil was torn in two.
Jesus committed His Spirit,
His task on Earth was almost through.

For three days later,
He arose from the dead!
His prophecy fullfilled
Just as He had said!

There is no recompense for the gift from Jesus Christ.
He gave His life for You and Me!
And by His precious blood we are saved!
So we must share the Gospel with everyone we see.
We Praise you, Dear Lord and give you all the Glory!

This could be the most imporant page you will ever read, God willing, it will change your life forever and in ways you cannot even imagine. The biggest misconception Satan feeds us is the thought that we must be perfect to be a Christian, if that were true, what would the purpose of Jesus' life, death and resurrection have? If we had to be perfect, we would all be damned to hell, because there would not be forgiveness. The Bible tells us that we all fall short of the Glory of God, that is why we need Christ as our intercessor. Have you ever heard the expression "Scapegoat" and wondered just where it came from? The Jew's had an annual ritual where a spotless goat would be sacrificed, it's blood an appropriation for the sins of Israel, another, goat was taken outside the city limits and let go, it was a symbol of their sins being carried away. Jesus is our scapegoat, his blood an appropriation for our sins. You, see, God knows we cannot be perfect, that is why He has always offered us a way to be forgiven. We all have our troubles, our sorrows, our imperfections, the difference is in two little words, conviction and repentence. And I don't mean, doing something you know is wrong, and then saying, "Oops, sorry, God, please forgive me." And then you go out and do it again and again. Conviction and repentence is a stirring in your soul, something that moves you and compels you to feel such shame that you cannot bear it, it is a feeling of such sorrow that you never want to do it again, it is a cry from your soul to God beseeching Him to take the pain and shame from you. I remember the day I finally felt that stirring, I was so emeshed in self destruction, that I just couldn't take it anymore and I broke down into a heap of shameful tears, and began begging God to help me, I couldn't take it anymore, and had my first truthful diaologue with Jesus, it is the day I turned my life over to him.d yII just threw my hands up and said, "It's all yours Lord, take over this life, I've done a terrible job running it myself." Surrending control is not something easy for us to do, but, God is teaching me that the more control I surrender to Him, the more in control my life seems to be.

   

What is Salvation? It is a gift we are given from Jesus, if we place our faith in Him, trust Him like we've never trusted anyone before, if we believe that He lived, died, and was resurrected three days later, ascended to heaven and will return, then eternal life is ours.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:9

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23

"I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions and as a cloud, thy sins; return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
Isaiah44:22Click


Have you accepted Christ into your life? Are you ready to, but, not sure how? It's very easy, you don't have to have a perfect speech, for He is the reader of hearts, just tell him the best way you know how, that you want Him in your life, that you believe He died for our sins and had victory over death. When you do that, you are beginning an intimate relationship with God, listen to Him as you would your truest confidant, live your life for Him, and think of Him as your father, always watching over you.(It always keeps me out of trouble :), and because it is a certainity that Satan will now work really hard to get you to stumble and veer away from God, I urge you to have fellowship with other Christians, to study your Bible, I mean really study, I can read the same chapter over and over and always learn something more, and most importantly, surrender yourself completely to Him, and share His good news with others. Jesus promised us that if we confess Him to others that He would confess us to the Father.

I truly believe the day is soon coming when Christ will call His Church home, will you hear His call? Or will you still be living your life as if He doesn't exist and you have all the time in the world? If you're up on your Bible, then you most probably would agree we are living in the end times, there has never been anytime in history that the stage has been so perfectly set, the mark of the beast which was once thought impossible is now an easy possibility thanks to the computer age, the restoration of Israel after two thousand years, the trend and push for a one world government, plus many other things point to His return. If you wake up one day, and there are reports of millions of people just vanishing worldwide then Christ has called us home, then you must prepare for seven long years of the Tribulation, will you believe then? I hope it doesn't come to that, please click the next button to see what you will be missing out on if the Rapture has left you behind. I'm sure there are skeptics out there that are asking, "Valerie, what if Christ isn't what he claimed to be, what if there is no God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy spirit? Won't all your sacrifices be for nothing?" My answer is this, I've given up nothing but pain and confusion, and my question to you is, what if I'm right? Please, won't you ask Him into your life? It is the best present you could ever give yourself!
