He Loves Us - Lisa Patterson

Isaiah 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Our verse today tells us how much we are loved by him. If he took it upon himself to be on that cross for our sins, and he knew no sin, we are loved.
Today we must understand what Christ did for us and how much he cares for us.
The Lord said," I'm planting a new garden and you are all different flowers with an aroma that surrounds you in every way. I'm so pleased you would gather together. I'm doing a new work in this, so step out and let me take you through the garden I planted with the flowers in it that are all so special to me with the aroma from heaven."
 The Lord loves us so much he would share his secrets with us. If you will be still and wait for him. Wait for the dew to form in the cool of the Lord. Let him moisturize you. He wants to co-labor with us. He said he's testing us with our children and he's keeping them. And he'll continue to keep them. We must stay in him to get the benefits he has already reserved for us.
I do hope everyone had a good Easter, as we realize it, it  isn't about us anymore. It's always been about him. And when we realize that, we will have more peace, joy, liberty and all things pertaining to him.
Rom. 6:1 What shall we say then?  Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. For sin shall have no more dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. Being made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness and the end everlasting life. Jesus wants you to come unto him today. He loves us with an everlasting love we cannot fathom. There is a penalty to pay for not following him. And that is hell which was made for the devil and his angles, not us. It was never intended for people to go there. But yet they are dying everyday. So the message here is to come to the Lord and let him shine his face upon you today."There's a new wind blowing and I want you to follow me in it, says the Lord. It's a new season for you. Be there to catch it and be there for me. Take me, all of me, and let me do a new thing in you. Let me take you there.You will enjoy the fruit of the spirit in it."
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus loves you and wants you today. Tomorrow may be too late  so don't take that chance.
