Happy New Year 2025!! -- Lisa Patterson

 Here's hoping 2025 will bring you a fresh new perspective on life and  much joy and happiness! The Lord has been saying this yr will be a year of answering prayers that have been sitting a long time. And new strength for your bones, a new image of yourself that the enemy cannot match and has been trying for a long time to keep you held down where you thought He wasn't hearing your prayers! But He said He is and it' more than you think He has in store for the ones who love Him with their whole heart!! Be still and know that I am the Lord, He says. It takes waiting and being still and listening to the still small voice inside that you don't hear when you are busy. It's heard to hear when you are listening to yourself and others and taking on their thoughts. We do it a lot hoping it[s Him and it's us. He is a gentleman and is easy on us and is "long suffering." There is only one God and Jesus but many false rise in these days and the days of before but only Jesus has the patience, love, long suffering, tenderness, and all the gifts we can't have in one package for us!!! He is slow to anger, much patience, tender hearted, easy with us and plenty of patience we do not know how to do!! There is no other and will never be. This is a brand new year with surprises inside and many fruits ready to open He has for us. If you do not know Him all you have to do is be sincere and ask Him into your heart and ask forgiveness for all the past mistakes and sins because He is in the forgiveness business. You will find peace you have never known for whatever you need and will know you cannot do all that you have to without Him in your heart. In Heb.3:5-6, The heart is deceitful and defiles a man, unbelieving and blind and idolatry with wrong things in the heart! Matt.18:2-4, You must be converted like children or you can't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Ps.25, Do not harden your hearts. Be like children to enter the gates of Heaven. There is no other way!! Jesus is the only answer for us and always will be. He gave His life so we could spend eternity with Him forever! Heaven is our eternal Home. This body we have is temporary and will be transformed when we get to Heaven. There is a Hell full of brimstone and fire and when you go there you cannot come back to the other side. There's only one way to Heaven and that's Jesus!! He died and bled on that Cross for us so we could spend eternity with Him and  Father God!! He made us and gave us a will when we were born so we can decide where we wanted to spend eternity. You have a different set of eyes when you accept Jesus as your Savior and peace floods your heart!! It will never be easy on this earth but He will always be there for you! This yr is full of adventure and New Yr for those who want a New Life. Rom. 15:4, Patience is faith or learning patience is faith over a prolong time. The Lord is saying, " Take my hand, I am not hard and my heart wants you no matter what you have been through. Do not rely on yourself because it will always fail you in the flesh! I am here to help you get through the yr as many things will happen you have not thought. The enemy has made his plans to erase my plan for you to come now. Time is short and there's no turning back. Tomorrow is not promised! Take my hand now and let me clean you out of the inner being that is you!" Matt. 12:43-45, Jesus said to His deciples, if any of you want to be my deciple, you must give up your own way, take up the Cross and follow me! Lord said, this new yr will come with much contention and much mess the enemy will throw but do not be disturbed as I have taken care of it all but you must leave it on the table for me to handle. Pray over all things and believe all things and all is well with you if you believe all that I have for you today.The only way you won't go to heaven is not  just hearing and not receiving but only because you rejected Jesus! You must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and ask Him in your heart to be saved. Then a peace you have never known will come to you and things will start to leave that you thought you needed and you won't give in to the worldly ways that so easily distract you. Things will come in a different light and clearer but it takes time. The peace you will  have only comes through Jesus! This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus Loves you and wants you to come to Him Today!"
