Today's Appetizer Is: Isaiah 45:18

God, Creator of the heavens – he is, remember, God. Maker of earth–he put it on its foundations, built it from scratch. He didn't go to all that trouble to just leave it empty, nothing in it. He made it to be lived in. This God says: "I am God, the one and only. I don't just talk to myself or mumble under my breath. I never told Jacob, 'Seek me in emptiness, in dark nothingness.

I am God. I work out in the open, saying what's right, setting things right. So gather around, come on in, all you refugees and castoffs. They don't seem to know much, do they– those who carry around their no-god blocks of wood, praying for help to a dead stick? So tell me what you think. Look at the evidence. Put your heads together. Make your case. Who told you, and a long time ago, what's going on here? Who made sense of things for you? Wasn't I the one? God? It had to be me. I'm the only God there is– The only God who does things right and knows how to help. So turn to me and be helped–saved!–everyone, whoever and wherever you are.

I am God, the only God there is, the one and only. I promise in my own name: Every word out of my mouth does what it says. I never take back what I say. Everyone is going to end up kneeling before me. Everyone is going to end up saying of me, 'Yes! Salvation and strength are in God!'"

THE HEART OF THE GOSPEL CHANGES HEARTS-PURPOSES-DESIRES!
Since I became a Christian and have been growing as God’s Seasoned Servant, I find that my wants have changed into His hearts desires! I used to want a lot of things that really did not matter, but now my most wanted list is markedly different and has a significant eternal measure! Now, what I want the most in life is for God to touch those who don’t know Him and reveal Himself to them, therefore saving them out of their walk towards death and creating a U-Turn in their life-path towards Jesus-Who is the right way, the only truth and wholly our eternal life!

SALVATION! BELIEVE IT! RECEIVE IT! LIVE IT! PRAY IT!
I really believe as a Christian or as a Church, or more strongly put-as the Bride of Jesus Christ, we should be a reflection of the passions of The Father God’s heart. One of those heart intents of Jesus is that all should know Him and walk in a daily personal relationship with Him! Heart-to-Heart! Therefore, because I love Jesus as I do, it is my passion too that all those in my life-path, in my influence may come to know Jesus.

SALVATION! I HOPE IT, LIVE IT AND PRAY IT!
Make Your Most Wanted List Today! I strongly encourage you today to pray for the salvation of others on a weekly basis and to become aware of the people around you who the Lord wants you to pray for. Let the passion of God's heart for those who are lost from Him become your all consuming fire! Take out a sheet of paper, or open up a blank document on your computer and at the top write/type: My Most Wanted List and write/type the names of those you know need God and pray with all your heart that they might come to know the One True Father God, His Son Jesus And His Mighty Spirit! YES! AMEN!

Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not only received these blessings, we have received CHRIST JESUS Himself. It is true that He gave us life from the dead. He gave us pardon of sin; He gave us imputed righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with them; we have received Christ Himself. The Son of God has been poured into us, and we have received Him, and appropriated Him. What a heartful Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain Him!
