Short, Simple and yet Powerful ~ JESUS CHRIST

"Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner", a simple yet powerful prayer from the bible, �God, have mercy on me, a sinner.� (Luke 18:13)

If you have faith in Christ, hope in Christ, and love of Christ, then invoke His holy name "JESUS CHRIST" in your prayer and affirm your prayer in His name because Christ Himself has assured by His words, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18). God the Father, creator of all is the most supreme power in the universe and Jesus is Incarnate son of God became flesh, dwell among us and to later become a sacrificial lamb to pay for our salvation as in (John 3:16), "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Jesus Christ is true God and true man who is one with His father God in heaven, as Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). We are in Jesus Christ and He is in the Father and His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of love, unites us all. "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. (John 14:20)

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!

Show me your ways, Lord, in You alone I put my Trust ~ Psalm 25

1 In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.

2 I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.

4 Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.

8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me from my anguish.
18 Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord, is in you.

22 Deliver Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!

God is waiting for us, come back to the Lord

God is always waiting for us, come back to the Lord, for His goodness is immeasurable. God has been good and will always be good. He is forgiving and not vengeful of our sin, yet  He is full of mercy, compassion, and love. God is opening doors that we never dreamed possible, as we allow ourselves to arise, shine and let the glory of the Lord to touch and transform our lives. His attributes, His presence and His person will shine within and through us. Therefore, repent and be converted, so that all your sin will be taken away and we shall be refreshed by the Lord presence in our life once again.

John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, �I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.�

Daniel 9:9

To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.

Luke 15:1-10

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, �This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.�

3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 �Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn�t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, �Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.� 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8 �Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn�t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, �Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.� 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.�

Romans 5:8

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Romans 6:23 

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 11:29-30

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

1 John 3:1-10

3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil�s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God�s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God�s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

Hebrew 10:17
I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.
