"I'm going to heaven bc I have a Jesus tattoo"

Out sharing the gospel the other night, and a guy was asked would he get to heaven if he died tonight. He said yes bc he had a Jesus tattoo. It was really confusing and I thought he was joking except he wasn't laughing. But he walked off and of course I thought of the best response about 10 minutes too late. 

Anyway, though I do not think he was serious, the sad truth is that he didn't know how to get to heaven yet just walked off. Which is the same that I would have done 10 years ago if God didn't change my heart. Praying this guy turns towards the true Jesus of the bible...

False teachers...

AMAZING!!!!!! No words! One of the best testimonies ever!

The Bible series on the History Channel... Thumbs DOWN!

Today, there was nothing on, so I decided to take a look at The Bible series on the History Channel and see what all the fuss is about. Well in less than 5 minutes, I saw that they COMPLETELY changed the Word of God. This is a review of the twist of scripture, and why it matters.

In the show, Abraham said to Isaac "Don't worry son, God will provide the sacrifice."
Yet in the bible, it says this-

• 'Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together."- Genesis 22:8

Now I looked up every possible translation and they ALL say LAMB. 

Then the History channel story went on to Abraham not sacrificing Isaac...then together in the show then they found a lamb. What does the bible say? Check it out-

• "Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. "- Genesis 22:13 (emphasis added)

So why does it matter? Lamb, Ram, does it really make a difference? Those seem to be small mistakes but #1 They are changing the very Word of God! And God said it was supposed to be the way He wrote it and He did it for a reason  #2 Why did they change it? It almost seems like they went out of their way on purpose to change it. Please sit and think about this one for a while if you happened to stumble on this blog. Why would they go out of their way to change the Word of God?

Why does this all matter? Because in the Bible, Abraham says God will provide the LAMB yet they sacrificed a RAM. Yet no one seems to catch it. Why?  Because Abraham was talking about Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check it out below in the New Testament:

• "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29 (emphasis added)

When Abraham said Lamb, he was most likely speaking of Jesus who was to come and fulfill the Old Testament prophesies! So basically, the History channel is looking to take out Jesus and how the entire old testament points to Him! Amen!!!! Jesus has come to be our lamb "but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."- 1 Peter 1:19

Lastly, let's look at what Revelations says-

• For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.

Overall, THUMBS DOWN!

Does anyone actually read the bible?

It hit me at the end of my first year of dedicating my life to Jesus, I wondered ... does anyone actually read the bible? ... Because it seemed to me, being a new believer, that many people were just relying on what they have been taught their whole lives without actually examining the Word of God themselves to see if what they have been taught it's true. 

I came to this realization when I read the entire bible for the first time on a one year bible plan. I was actually SHOCKED at some of the things I read because they completely contradicted many things I was taught my entire life. And we know that the bible is 100% right, so that means everything I was taught that contradicted it was wrong! Another thing that surprised me was how completely awesome reading the bible is! I thought it would be boring, or I wouldn't like it (because I'm more of a visual person so it's hard for me to read a lot), but that wasn't the case at all!

I was mesmerized by the stories of Jonah and Joseph and even the laws in the old testament are so interesting! Another thing that surprised me is that the movie "10 commandment" or "The Prince of Egypt" isn't really that close to what the bible says as I would have liked.

Last week while witnessing, I met a young man and asked him how to get to heaven. He looked kind of shocked and wasn't able to answer. I said 'what if I had 2 minutes to live and was pleading with you to help me into heaven", He finally said "I will pray for you!" I told him that won't help me at all. He then said that he actually teaches CCD classes to students. I was pretty shocked and told him that the bible says "Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly."- James 3:1

And that if he was telling the wrong thing to children about God, then he would be judged more strictly, and that if I was telling him the wrong thing then I would be judged more strictly as well. And he said that he was afraid... 

So folks reading this, I hope you know that I take sharing the gospel seriously, and if I have said anything in anyway that does not point to Jesus dying for our sins please call me out! PLEASE correct me, please yell at me or do anything you can to fix it, because I will be judged more strictly than others and that terrifies me! As it should!

To the left is a photo of two girls I got to witness to :) Please pray for them <3 God bless!

Jesus vs 247 million people, who is telling the truth?

According to a statistic, 247 million in the United States identify themselves as Christians about 79.5% of adults. 

Jesus says "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."- Matthew 7:13-14 

Jesus says only a FEW find it. So I ask you now, who is telling the truth? The millions and millions of "christians" claiming to follow Jesus, or Jesus Himself saying only a few?

I believe Jesus!

• "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."- Matthew 7:22-25 

That's why the bible says "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?"- 2 Corinthians 13:5

Parable of the Sower

Last night was AMAZING! One of the best nights in a long long time. We were out witnessing for a while longer than usual as well. Hopefully, I will get a chance to write about more of the people I spoke with but now I'm just going to write about Jennifer and Joe. The night reminded me of Matthew chapter 13 in the bible where it says this:

• “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: ¹⁹ When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. ²⁰ The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. ²¹ But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. ²² The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. ²³ But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Shortly after we arrived, a gentleman named Joe was insisting to speak with an evangelist named John. He even waited for quite some time to speak with him. After their conversation, John told me that Joe wanted Jesus to forgive his sins and that the gospel made sense to him, and Joe said he was going to go home and pray to ask Jesus to be his Savior.

I was pretty excited! But also a little reluctant to assume anything because only God knows someones heart. Joe also had an atheist friend with him that didn't want to come within 20 feet of us and was staring at us from a distance. Over an hour later, Joe came back and starting mocking another evangelist. You could tell he was getting REALLY upset about things. He referenced the beatles song "let it be", and he started yelling that "if Jesus was here right now, he would say just enjoy life!". I then told him what Jesus says in the bible

• "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"- Matthew 16:26

*James 5:5 says "You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter."

*Matthew 6:20 says "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

*There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."- Proverbs 14:12

The good thing is that Joe at least seemed like he wanted to know the answers and he had a lot of good questions.

We also met a young lady named Jennifer who I handed a bible tract to, and she came back and spoke with John! It was amazing and though I didn't hear what they said, you could tell God was really moving in her heart! I really pray that she continues to draw close to Jesus and God keeps working in her life. It was really a blessing meeting her! Overall, it was an amazing night and I'm just so honored that God allows us to share His good news! 

In His Love,
Pray with Kay
