***INTRODUCTION:

In this "Biblical Perspective", you will need your Bible (Best is the KJV) to read scripture references, in this devotion called "My God (Jesus Christ) Is Real!!!" I have tried to write with simplicity, that all will understand God's Holy Word clearly!!! Jesus Christ is called "THE WORD" in John 1:1-14)!!! I have given you many scriptures to look up and to see, "The Truth of God!!!" ***I would like to testify, that since my salvation in March 1971, I have felt the Lord's mighty presence throughout my life and have seen many of God's Miraculous Works!!! Remember, "IF GOD SAID IT, THAT SETTLES IT (Mark 13:31)!!!" ***I always tell people, "Don't take my word, but to always take God's Holy Word!!!" I pray, that the Holy Spirit of God will speak to your heart and you will draw to the Christ, as you read this devotion!!! If you are already a "Born-Again Believer In Christ," I pray, that you will live boldly for the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the rest of your life!!!

***To My Dear Readers, yes "My God (Jesus Christ) Is Real!!!"

Anytime a person receives Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior, it is Only by the Convicting Power of the Holy Spirit (John 16:7,8; I Thessalonians 1:5; Ephesians 1:13)!!!" For many people, it takes a lifetime for them to see the light of Christ in their eyes, but "Praise the Lord" for the mighty moving of the Holy Ghost (The Spirit of God), which touches the hearts of mankind and puts a desire in their heart to make Jesus Christ their Personal Lord & Savior!!! Upon their heart-felt "Profession of Faith in Jesus Christ", they immediately, become a "Born-Again Child of God" and are given Eternal Life (John 3:16; Romans 6:23; I John 5:11-13)!!! The Bible tells us in John 10:27,28 "My sheep (Believers) hear my voice, and I (Jesus Christ) know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man (Human-Being) pluck them out of my hand (God's Hand)." Yes, "My God (Jesus Christ ) Is Real!!!"

***SPECIAL NOTE FROM MY HEART:

***It breaks my heart to know, that "All Non-Believers (People Without God)", that Reject "Jesus Christ" will be "SEPARATED FROM GOD" for ALL ETERNITY!!! Let me say, as "Christ's Loving Servant" for nearly 50 years, that it is beyond my wildest imagination, that anyone "Would Not Believe", that GOD (Jesus Christ) IS REAL and that God created everything in the Whole Universe (Psalms 19:1)!!! ***We can't see the WIND, but we can feel the WIND!!! So if we can't see God, does that mean, GOD IS NOT REAL, NO. NO, NO??? For me, I see & feel God's presence everywhere!!! For me, "MY GOD (JESUS CHRIST) IS REAL!!!" For sure, "ALL INDIVIDUAL PERSONS" on the Earth will worship a "god" or an "idol (Like Self, Pleasure, Sex, Money, Power & etc.)", but I declare, that "JESUS CHRIST" is the "ALMIGHTY GOD, THE KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS!!!" For Atheists & Agnostics, their religion is "Secular Humanism!!!" Their religion is all about "Self-Worship (For many of them, they say "If it feels good, do it), in which they make themselves "Their Own Personal God!!!" *** I definitely, do not agree with their beliefs, but they have the right to believe, what ever they want to believe in the USA and in most parts of the world!!! I have personally met several "Atheists" in my life. The ones I have met seem to be "Happy Go-Lucky People", that just about anyone, would like to be around in life!!! The ones, that I know, come across as better people, than some "So-Called Christian!!!" Dear Christian, let us put on the "Whole Armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-18)" in our daily life, that we may fight against the "Evil Temptations of our Flesh" and the "Evil Forces of Satan", that we may be victorious in this world for glory of Jesus Christ in our life!!! "Please always strive to walk in the ways of Christ and to bring glory to His name!!!" All of us, one day will be judged by Christ, because ONLY the Lord Jesus Christ our "CREATOR" has the authority and right to "Judge" all of us (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:11-15)!!! ***"I encourage all "Non-Believers Against God", to please Search Your Heart, Open Your Eyes & See God, because God Almighty Is All Around Us!!! God loves each and every person that rejects Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior and does not want to see anyone cast into "The Lake of Fire - God's Final Judgment & Destination for the Lost (Revelation 20:14,15)!!!" All of the "LOST WITHOUT GOD" are choosing to spend Eternity separated from God (That is Not God's Desire, but it's Their Personal Choice), because they REJECT GOD'S GIFT OF AMAZING GRACE (UN-EARNED LOVE), that is given ONLY by JESUS CHRIST and by the shedding of His "Sinless Redeeming Blood" on the "Cross of Calvary!!!" All, that receive Christ, must "Let Go and Let God" be your Lord by 100% Faith from within your heart!!!

***HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE PROOFS, THAT "MY GOD (JESUS CHRIST) IS REAL!!!"

For me, I have personally seen the PROOF, that MY GOD (JESUS CHRIST) IS REAL!!! Jesus Christ is the CREATOR of all things in this world and the Whole Universe (Colossians 1:14-17). The Bible tells us, "The heavens declare the glory of God... (Psalms 19:1)" and that God's mighty presence is all around us!!! *** I see God in the science of our individual ***"Biological DNA", in our unique ***"Individual Fingerprints", in the uniqueness of all ***"Snowflakes" that fall in the winter, in the wonder and in the order of the ***"Universe of Outer Space", in the ***"Beauty of All Nature on Earth (Please don't believe the lies of "The Theory of Evolution", which was thought up by an Atheist), in the ***"Miracle on Human Conception & the Birth of a Child", in the ***"Medical Miracles (Like the children & now many adults survivors, that I have known personally, that have been healed by the healing hand of the Lord Jesus Christ at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee)", but the most amazing Miracle of God, can be seen, when Christ enters the heart and soul of a "Wretched Lost Sinner" and they receive God's Salvation (God's Gift of Eternal Life), and then, they immediately become ***"A Transformed Child of God (Like, how a Caterpillar changes into a Butterfly)!!!" A great example of this is the "Transformation of the "Maniac of Gadara" as seen in Mark 5:15. For me, I see the handiwork of God, here on Earth and throughout the vast Universe of Outer Space (Just like toys, machines, puppets and everything else in this world, there must be a Creator/Inventor of it all)!!! Yes, "My God (Jesus Christ) Is Real!!!"

The Bible (KJV) says, that in Isaiah Chapter 53 (Written approx. 712 B.C.), there are explicit details mentioned, how JESUS would die by "Crucifixion" for the Sins of all mankind, including all that have ever lived in this world (Interesting Note: "The Roman Empire" was the first empire in history to start using the "Method of Crucifixion for their Executions")!!! NOTE- It was approximately "109" individual major prophesies of "Christ's First Coming To Earth", which were fulfilled in explicit detail (Just Think, if Only 10 of the 109 were fulfilled, that would be a "Math Improbability By Odds or By Chance, that It could be Fulfilled", but All (109) of them were individually fulfilled Miraculously)!!! NOTE- Concerning the "Second Coming Of Christ To Earth", there is approximately "257" individual prophesies, which are being fulfilled right now and as you read this devotion!!! *In the world today, we see Volcanoes erupting around the world, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Wars & Rumors of War, Extreme Bad Weather, the Polar Ice Cap is Melting, Increase of Hurricanes, Monster Tornadoes, Fires, Huge Terrible & Deadly Floods around the world and a Great Falling Away From God (Jesus Christ the Lord)!!! ***PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TO JESUS CHRIST, BEFORE IT IS EVERLASTINGLY TOO LATE!!!

***HERE'S A SIMPLE EXPLANATION ON HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN (According to God's Word-KJV):

NOTE: The following paragraph is how God's Salvation can ONLY be received by all of mankind!!! God the Father will never allow "Any Sin" to enter into Heaven (Romans 3:10,23) !!! JESUS became "Sin" for all mankind (Past, Present & Future), in which "HE PAID SIN'S PENALTY OR PAID THE RANSOM FOR OUR SOUL TO BE FREE" on the CROSS OF CALVARY by the shedding of HIS SINLESS BLOOD (Romans 5:8; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18,19 -Becoming our Redeemer)!!! God the Father and Mankind were separated from each other until JESUS (THE SON OF GOD & PROPHESIED ANOINTED MESSIAH OF ISRAEL) became FLESH on this Earth!!! Jesus Christ throughout the Holy Bible (KJV) has many names, but the greatest is the "Lord of Lords and King of Kings" and "The Savior of the World!!!" *"It is understood, that at our receiving God's Salvation with our "Heart-Felt Belief & Trust in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord & Savior, that there must be a "Godly Sorrow" of our sins (2 Corinthians 7:10)!!! By seeking our "REPENTANCE TOWARD GOD" and our "TURNING TO JESUS" to save our soul (Acts 3:19); we then receive God's Gift of Eternal Life (Romans 6:23)!!! Only then, can the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6) become our "Bridge of Acceptance", our "Mediator" and/or our "Go-Between" to bring MANKIND to GOD THE FATHER!!! We, then become adopted into God's Family and become Heirs of God's Kingdom (Romans 8:14-17)!!! If you are an Atheist or an Agnostic, the Holy Scripture Verse of Psalms 14:1 (Psalms 53:1) says "The fool hath said in his (or her) heart, There is no God..." ***The Lord God said it twice, so it's very important to know and to never forget!!! ***If you are willing to turn to Jesus Christ and seek Him as your Lord & Savior, then "God's Simple Plan Of Salvation" is so very easy to understand, in getting into Heaven, because He will accept you, in what ever condition, that you are at in your life!!! There are "NO Physical or Ritualistic Work Requirements" to enter into Heaven to be with the Lord Jesus Christ, because NO PERSON CAN WORK THERE WAY INTO HEAVEN (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5,6)!!! Hallelujah, anyone can get to Heaven, but it must be by a person receiving God's Amazing Grace by their 100% Faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord!!!

***IN CONCLUSION - "GOD'S HOLY WORD & CHRISTIAN WISDOM!!!"

***Remember, as "Born-Again Believers", we will continue to "Sin", while living in these Fleshly Bodies, because our spirit is inside of our "Body of Flesh (Romans 7:14-25; Galatians 5:16,17. I John 1:8-10; Philippians 3:12-14)!!!" Our "spirit" at the point of us receiving God's Salvation is "Regenerated or Resurrected (Meaning to be "Brought Back to Life" or "Born Again" - Titus 3:5), because we were all born in Sin (With a dead spirit)!!! ***At the time of our Salvation, our spirit & soul are Purged in Fire or Sterilized from Sin and it is Sanctified (Set Apart unto Christ) as Christ's "Purchased Possession (I Corinthians 6:11; Ephesians 1:14; Hebrews 1:3; Heb. 10:10)." "Never believe the "LIE", that you have Lost Your Salvation (It's just as Impossible to Lose It, than to be Unborn Physically - ONLY BY THE POWER OF GOD ARE WE SAVED, IT'S ALL BY GOD'S AMAZING GRACE THROUGH OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO SAVE OUR SOUL!!! - I John 5:11-13)!!! The Apostle Paul wrote in II Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." ***All believers in Christ are Sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise (Ephesians 1:13,14)!!! ***My Dear Brothers & Sisters In Christ Jesus, NEVER FORGET, That God's Salvation Is Permanent (You become an Heir of God through Adoption by God & by the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ the Lord - "Spiritually" - Romans 8:14-17)!!! The Only Thing that can change after you have received God's Salvation is "Your Personal Relationship" with the Lord!!! So Never Stop Communicating Daily with the Lord through Prayer and stay in the Word of God!!!

***Remember, even as a Child of God, "IF YOU RUN WITH THE DOGS OF THIS WORLD, YOU WILL GET THE TICKS & FLEAS FROM THEM (The "Wrong Crowd" Will Affect You Every Time)!!!" ***Please Believe God's Holy Word Is The Foundation of "True Christianity!!!" Beware of "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing!!! Remember, Satan is the Author of Confusion, Deceit & Doubts!!! ***I live my life, by the "J.O.Y. Formula", which is "Jesus First, Others Second & Yourself Last!!!" This formula has helped me greatly in my life and it can help you also!!! ***LIVE, PRAY & SERVE CHRIST IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD!!! ***Beware of several church denominations, that preach "LEGALISM" to their church members, to try to put them in "Spiritual Bondage (Acts 15:1 & verses 5-11), but remember, that Jesus Christ has "SET US FREE" to worship & glorify the LORD (John 8:32, 36; Romans 8:2; Galatians 5:1)!!! ***At the "Beginning of Eternity" for "Every Person, That Has Ever Lived", the Bible (KJV) says in Philippians 2:10,11: "That at the name of Jesus every knee should (will) bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should (will) confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!!!" ***JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!! ***"TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS AND RECEIVE GOD'S GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE, FOR THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL, BEFORE IT'S EVERLASTINGLY TOO LATE (John 3:16; Romans 10:13)!!!" ***Today is the Day of your Salvation (II Corinthians 6:2)!!! "Always Believe God For The Impossible In Life (Luke 1:37- According to God's Will)!!!" When you are willing to allow Jesus Christ to rule your life as your Lord in every aspect of your life, you will then say it and feel it, just as I do, that "My God (Jesus Christ) Is Real!!!" THE END!!!

Christ's Loving Servant!!!
