THE BIRTH OF JESUS

Christmas is not about ‘’gifts.’’ It is about the Gift: the life of Jesus Christ. This is the day Jesus came into the world. So, let us sing melodious sounds to His birth. Let us give thanks to God, His Father, for His Son, Jesus.

I look back and see all that Jesus Christ went through for my life. That is why we need to give thanks for His life. God has blessed us with His only begotten Son. That is why we must trust Jesus and remember that Christmas is about Him and how He came into this world .

Have joy in your heart that the Gift of the King has been born.

JESUS STORM WISHES EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS 2008!

ORDER MY STEPS

The Lord is the one who can order my steps as long as I read and follow His Word. The Lord shook me until I could stand on my feet. I had to just believe in Him, and His presence came all around me. Today, I keep Him on my mind , and He orders my steps.

"Pray, stay, and obey" His Word, and the Lord will make wonderful things happen in your life. Ask the Lord to rest upon your heart. When Jesus rests upon your heart, the devil cannot step into you life because you have already asked the Lord to order your step.

Keep your mind on the Lord, always. Amen.

GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD

"Thanksgiving"

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882















Give us this day our daily bread, O Father in heaven, and grant that we who are filled with good things from Your open hand, may never close our hearts to the hungry, the homeless, and the poor; in the name of the Father, and of the Sone, and of the Holy Spirit.
- from the abbey of New Clairvaux, Viña, California


Jesus Storm wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving 2008.

GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND

Keep holding onto God’s unchanging hand. Don’t let anything get you down, and keep your head to the sky. There is someone always watching over you, but you have to take out the Word and read it to stay strong. When you get to Heaven, you’re going to have a good time. That’s why I myself keep holding on to God’s unchanging hand.

Tell Satan, “Get thee behind me!” because you have a power stronger than his, and his name is Jesus . Praise the Lord! Give your heart to Jesus. He can fix anything you are going though, so just call on Him. Whatever your problem is Jesus can fix it. That is a blessing, so just keep on holding onto God’s unchanging hand .

Ask God to stay with you . If you want to walk right, the Lord will give you the key to His house. Make yourself at home with Jesus as long as you want. He will be their for both me and you, but we have to put our trust in Him. The Lord will make everything all right. Just keep Him first…by holding on to His unchanging hand.

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

Lord, I thank You for your word, and I declare right now that it is the final authority in my life. I believe I can change my life though the power You have made available to me. Through your word, Lord, I ask you to reveal all Truth to me as I seek You. I know that you are perfecting everything that concerns me. I thank You in advance for the great life You have planned for me. It is more than I could ask, think, or imagine.

From this day forward, I will choose the words carefully I speak, hear, and see. I propose in my heart to speak Your word daily. Thank you for Your word. I believe it will change my life and enable me to fulfill my purpose.

I declare these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

THE GLORY OF THE LORD

Get on your knees, and praise the glory of the Lord. The Lord has the all the glory and all the power. The Lord will give you the glory if you just give Him the chance.

If you don’t believe it, know that the time to get to know the Lord is now because His glory is so great. But today, in 2008, it is the devil who wants you to think that he is in control. But it is God that has all glory and power and gives you the glory to share. So, keep praising Him every chance you can.

Come into the House of the Lord, praise Him, and receive His glory. Amen!

JESUS IS YOUR FRIEND

Jesus will take care of you when your friends let you down . There have been times in my life when things weren’t going right. However, the Lord stepped in and made a way. That is why Jesus is my friend.

I can call on Jesus anytime. I ask Him to send is Holy Spirit down on me everyday so that I can continue to keep Jesus as my friend. There is no one else than Jesus to confess my sins to. It isn’t what I say to Jesus as long as I continue to ask Him to take control over my life. I always give God thanks for everything I do and say.

When your day is finished, make sure you get down on your knees to give God glory for that day. That is why you should give Jesus all the praise… because he your friend, too. Jesus is worthy to be praised.

When Jesus cracks the sky, all those who are dead will rise up to see the King. The trumpet will sound. Lift up your hands and give God all glory . There is no friend like Jesus

God sees everything that we go through so just call on Him when things get rough. He will fix it; just believe in Jesus Ask god to lead you each and every day. Read the word that Jesus has written so you can have a good time with Him in Heaven. Jesus is your friend! God cares for you. Amen!

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED

Remember that Jesus is the way to go. When your heart is troubled, get down on your knees and pray. Ask God to take the problems out of your heart.

My heart was troubled when I lost my job. I has been working at a hotel for seven years. A new company took over, and they said, "We have to let you go." I broke down. I was traumatized, and I didn’t know what to do. Then I just kept praying and asking God what I should do. I kept on going out looking for jobs. Finally, God came to me and said, "My child, let not your heart be troubled. For there is something I have in store for you. So whatever problems you are going through, remember God is there. Let not your heart be troubled."

Then God opened the door for me! I got a job at a care center. I know that my prayers were answered. And that’s when my troubles were relieved. When things gets rough for you, remember John’s words: “Let not you heart be troubled,” and just keep on praying:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14, 1

ONE MORE DAY

Thank you, Lord, for waking me up every morning so I can get down on my knees to give you praise. I thank you for the sunshine and for the air that I breathe everyday. Thank you for giving your life so that I can live.

Thank you for keeping me safe when I was going through a rough time. It was the time when you kept your angel over me…when I lost my job. You said, “My child, hold on. This is only a test .” Never has the Lord failed me. He said, “the storm is just beginning. Just hold on, my child, because I have something good in store for you:” Thank you, Lord, for letting me know that in order to get to heaven I must be baptized.

Thank you, Lord, for one more day. For I know the next time, things will be better. So I will just keep working for Jesus, and things will get better as long I keep running towards Him. I ask God to please keep filling up my cup with the Holy Word. Each morning I thank the Lord that I am still alive. Some things I have left undone, but I won’t complain because the Lord gave me one more day.

COME GO WITH ME BEHIND THE VEIL

Whatever it takes…I have to keep God first. I have the victory, and you can’t tell me that God isn’t real. So, I say to you today: take authority over your mind. I am a child of the King, and that is why I keep my God first. The Bible tells me that Jesus died for my sins . So, come go with me behind the veil . Satan has no power over the Lord . He allows us to enter into His presence, and that is why we need to bow down before the Lord and to keep God first. If you want to come go with me behind the veil, let the Lord wash your mind. It must be clean and pure because not everybody gets to go with the Lord. Leave your past behind.

Lord, here I am. Take over, Lord; I want to see your face! Take me in to the holy place behind the veil. I know there’s someone there to hold me when trouble comes my way. I know the Lord is always there . I’m so grateful that I can call on the Lord to protect me. And that is why ask you to come go with me to the revealed Truth of the Lord… behind the veil. The Lord is there, and He cares for us. He knows what to do when things go wrong. Give me the whatever you want, Jesus! I want to be closer to you .

I am going to walk with my Father when the time comes. I just have to keep praying to the Lord so that I can make it to His kingdom. So, turn everything towards the Lord. Just wait on Jesus. He will answer your prayers. Come go with me behind the veil.

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

I know when I get to my Father’s house, there will be love and peace and happiness…no more crying, no more dying. I will meet my own mother there and my grandparents who I love so dearly. The Lord will meet me with open arms. If you would like to come with me to our Father’s house, just follow the Lord’s way. The Lord’s house is peaceful. God will meet us at His door.

So, please come with me to the Lord’s house. This is what you have to do: trust in him with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge the Lord, and He will make your path straight even unto the end of the earth. Remember that Jesus died for our sins, and that means you don’t have to sin anymore. So, do come with me to the Lord’s house! It is a mansion, and peace, love, and happiness fill the Lord’s house.

THE LORD'S LIGHT

Let the Lord's light shine on you. The sun that shines in the sky is the Lord's light that brings sunshine to the world. So, let the light shine down on you to bring brightness into your life. The Lord loves us so much that he brought brightness to the world.

A FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE

Today I did a community dinner to help the people who needed food to eat near where I live. So today I am giving you a verse about Jesus feeding the multitudes:

"And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would."

You can read the entire verse here:

THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

I know that God is here because I can feel Him. God is a powerful presence. God can do anything if you just call on Him. It is so wonderful for me to be in His presence. Remember, the presence of the Lord is always HERE. If you just believe, you can feel His presence. If you don't give your life to the Lord now, it will be too late when Jesus comes back.

Take this time now to get to know the Father and what he wants you to do while you're still on this Earth. The presence of the Lord is here NOW. I, myself, had to find out what my own purpose is in life. And I found that purpose from being in the presence of the Lord. Amen.

COME TO JESUS

"Come to Jesus"

If you come to Jesus, He will keep you safe from harm. Life is so much safer in His arms. I came to Jesus because I was knew I was safe in his arms. Faith is the key. Why? Because God loves and protects us so we need to keep faith. And that is why I came to Jesus.

Don’t stop believing. God works miracles, and Jesus knows everything each one of us goes through. If you are having any trouble in your life, just fall down on your knees, and ask God to take the problem out of your life, and He will. But
continue to have faith and to read God’s word.

You must surrender everything to Jesus. I know that God is wonderful to me, and that is why I came to Jesus. Now my life is so much better knowing that I can go to Jesus and tell Him all about my problems. And I can pray for others who don’t know Jesus yet so they can get to know what a wonderful God we have. That’s why all of us need to have faith in Jesus and to come to him for protection.

PRAISE THE LORD WITH ME

“Praise the Lord with Me”
by Sharon

This is the way I praise the Lord: I give God glory when things are not going right.
God can do anything if you just ask Him. Remember that God holds the whole world in His hands. The Lord is more than enough. Precious Lord, you are more than enough!
One of these days, the Lord is coming back so, preachers, keep on doing what you are doing: the work of Jesus . Tell those who don’t know the Lord, “Better get down on your knees now, and get to know theLord. TheLordis coming back.” Will you be ready when Jesus come back?
I am going to praise Him and to lift him up. Today my life belongs to the Lord. TheLord brought me a mighty long way . Halleluiah! I am dancing! The Lord gave me a song to sing, and I am singing it whenever the devil tries to sing his song in my ear. I push him down by singing, “Glory, glory halleluiah! Step back, devil! God is in control. Take your hand off me. I am God’s child! Lord, I love you. Jesus is all I need. I am going to keep praising Him .
If your heart is broken, God can fix it. All you have to do is ask Him. Can’t no man nor child fix it! Only God can . That is why I praise the Lord . Whenever we all get together above, we will sing “Victory in Heaven.” There will be no more crying . We will be shouting and dancing! Victory is mine! When trouble comes I praise the Lord because I know the Lord will raise me up so I can stand on the mountain. I will trust you, Lord . Jesus, your love has won me over.
God is in control of my life. Praise the Lordwith me!

JESUS DESTROYS DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

“Using Drug and Alcohol”

Using drugs and alcohol makes you feel good for a short time. Do you know what the drug is doing to your mind and to your nervous system? How it is destroying you and your dreams? Do you know you are spending all your money and making the drug dealers rich? Then the next day you feel stupid because you spent all your money on a ten-minute high. You don’t have anything to eat because the drugs came first. You are walking around looking like a skeleton. Your face has sunken in, then your weight started going down.
Drinking alcohol makes you feel good, but the after-effect is waking up and not knowing what you did the day before. You don’t remember because you had a blackout. When you wake up with a hangover, you are destroying your liver. You have to go to the hospital because your kidney is all messed up from the alcohol.
When I found what drugs and alcohol were doing to my body, I found out I was just borrowing this temple. My body belong to the Lord. So I started praying, asking God to help me keep this temple clean and pure. I told the devil that he had no more control over my life. Now I am taking my life back and giving it to the Lord. Whatever my battle is I give it to the Lord. I know He will work out all my problems as long as I “STAY-OBEY-PRAY!” I know that Jesus paid for all my sins. I don’t have to sin anymore.
All you have to do is call on Jesus. He will make your darkness into light. So let God’s light shine on you, turn away from the darkness, and your day and night will become light. Remember, God has the whole world in His hands. There is nothing you can do the that Lord does not know about. So remember to “STAY - OBEY-PRAY!”

THE STORM IS COMING

“The Storm is Coming “

The storm is coming. The storm that I am talking about is not the rain storm . I am talking about a Jesus storm. Will you be ready when the storm of Jesus comes? I want to be ready when the Jesus storm comes.

I want to rise up into the sky with my Father. Remember: The storm is coming. My Father told me, “Just keep going on. The bad storm will be over soon.” The Storm is coming! Turn your life around today! Your own storm is coming. I myself know I can’t do anything with out my Lord. The storm is coming.

The Lord is the only way to escape. Jesus is not Jesus just on Sunday. Every day Jesus is the same person. Whatever your storm is just call on Jesus. That is what I did, and my own storm was over. I did so much crying to the Lord. And He said, “My child, dry your weeping eyes. Just come closer to your Father ,and I will protect you! Remember, you are not fighting this battle alone”

The storm is coming, but I had to keep praying to the Lord. Obey His word by reading the Bible. You have to believe in Him, and your own storm will not be so bad . Amen .

I AM COVERED BY THE LORD'S BLOOD

“I Am Covered by the Lord’s Blood”
by Sharon

I didn’t have any hope for my life. I called on the blood of Jesus, and he came and rescued me. I knew that my life would change. For everything I do in my life I turn to God. I know that I am covered with the blood of Jesus. All I need is Jesus. All God wanted me to do is to turn my life over to Him. Now I am covered with God’s love, and He sent some wonderful people into my life to keep me from falling back into the devil’s hands. Here are some of my “guardian angels“: Nancy, Arlene, Aaron, and my tutor, Steve. If I have any problems, they are the ones I go to. Then at night I get down on my knees, and I ask the Lord to keep me covered with His blood. I know that I need the Lord more than yesterday .

Because He covers me with His blood, I will praise the Lord early in the morning, praise Him in the noon time, and even when the sun goes down. I will thank God everyday until He takes the breath out of my mouth. I know that the devil will try to test me. I will stomp all over that devil and tell him I am covered by the blood of Jesus. The presence of the Lord is all around me. I can feel the power of God everywhere. However, I just have to know it . As long I keep God first, I am going to get my blessings. Thank God I am covered by the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah!

HE RESCUED ME

I didn't have any hope for my life. I called on the blood of Jesus, and He came and rescued me.
