You’re life and destiny matters to God beyond your wildest imagination. Your life and importance matters to God so much that he designed you personally and wrote into your DNA who you really are.
(Luke 12:7) “But even the very hairs of your head are ‘ALL NUMBERED’. Fear not, therefore: You are of more worth than many sparrows”.
If God is so concerned about every hair on your head, how much more is he concerned about what really concerns you. He’s even concerned about the hairs you lost today and has a new calculation in every moment of time.

And take note, that he is recalculating the change in the number of hairs on 7.5 Billion people every second of every day.
WOW, WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS IN ISAIAH THE 40th CHAPTER THAT, ‘THERE’S NO SEARCHING OF HIS UNDERSTANDING, THAT’S A MONUMENTAL STATEMENT.

But, because God knows all things, known as His ‘Omniscience’, consider all the billions and trillions of other things the world over and all over the galaxies that God is knowledgeable about and is taking care of. Again, I say wow.
As Christians we all know that God loves everyone collectively as written in (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everylasting life”.
How great and all encompassing is such a love as that. You can not find one person who is so bad as to not being included in that beautiful and loving statement.
IN THAT SCRIPTURE WE SEE A GOD WHO GAVE HIS BEST, HIS SON JESUS TO DIE FOR THE WORST SINNER THAT EVER LIVED.

But, as we know, salvation is ‘NOT AUTOMATIC’. Though the offer has gone out, each and every individual must ‘CHOOSE’ Jesus as his Lord and Savior if he is to be saved. THAT’S A FACT.
NOW, JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME, “HOW MUCH DOES GOD REALLY AND TRULY ACTUALLY CARE FOR YOU, (FOR ME?)
WHEN GOD SET UP HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION, HE SAW THE WHOLE WORLD, AND NOT JUST ONE INDIVIDUAL

To prove this point we must again, remember (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everylasting life”.
So, He didn’t just only see me right? I was hoping I was more important to God than that.
WEARY PILGRIM. GET EXCITED, BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU NEXT, WILL MAKE YOU SHOUT AND DANCE.
(Matthew 18:12-14) “How do you think? If a man has 100 sheep, and one of them is gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?
READ: WEARY PILGROM, HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER. THE ANSWER’S ON THE WAY.
I HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE GOOD SHEPHERD LEAVING THE NINETY AND NINE AND SEARCHING, NOT FOR A LOST SHEEP BUT A SERIOUSLY INJURED SHEEP.
I fell out of an empty trailer at 4:30 in the morning, and when they found me, I couldn’t get up and walk.
The pain was more severe than I had ever experienced in my life, and when my doctor read the MRI, he said, “I HAVE BAD NEWS FOR YOU. WITHOUT SURGERY, YOU’LL NEVER WALK AGAIN.
He continued, “In all my 26 years of medical practice, I have never seen an injury of this kind so serious. I have seen one knee blown, but never two.

I spent almost 5 months in a rehab after surgery in recovering from my injuries. I could only lie on my back. I couldn’t even turn from side to side during that long night of recovery.
At a later time I will tell the full and remarkable miracle behind this true story, but God left the ninety and nine and was ‘FOCUSED IN ON, AND INTERESTED IN JUST ME, NOT THE NINETY AND NINE”.
READ: GOD, IF YOU’RE REAL, I NEED YOU NOW, I WON’T MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU. HELP!
Does that mean that he lost interest in the ninety and nine? Of course not, but I think you get the point.
Dear Reader, only God can so focus in on just an individual like you, and when He does, it’s like you are the most important person in all the world. It’s like at that moment no one else exists but you.
READ: GET RID OF THE SPIRIT OF FEAR TODAY
You feel like God loves you more than any other living person. That feeling is not a delusion, but reality. Your need at that time is the most important need in all the world to Him.
Your hurts, your broken relationships, your sickness, your injury, your rejection, concerns Him so much He weeps over you.
READ: WHERE IS GOD IN THIS PANDEMIC?
and when you tell Him all about your troubles and place your trust in Him, He heals you, delivers you, begins to heal your relationships, and wipes your tears away.
And most of all, when you call out to Him because you want a new life, a new heart, and a change in the direction of your life and destiny, you become the most important person in all the world to Him at that time.
THAT’S HOW MUCH HE REALLY CARES FOR YOU.
NOW, THE MYSTERY OF IT ALL LIES IN THE FACT THAT THIS SAME PHENOMENON, IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
EACH TIME AN INDIVIDUAL FROM THEIR HEART CRIES OUT TO GOD, HE SEES YOU AS ONE PERSON, DEARLY BELOVED. YOU NO LONGER ARE THE WORLD, THE MASSES, THE MULTITUDES.
You say, “HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?” I don’t know, but it is. Only God can focus in on you as if you were the only person in the world, and at the same time focus in on seven and a half Billion individuals crying out to Him in need.
THAT’S THE MYSTERY, THAT OUR GREAT GOD HAS SUCH SUPER ABILITY TO FOCUS IN AND LOVE, SHOW MERCY, DELIVER, TO FIERECLY PROTECT, TO SAVE FROM SIN, TO LOVINGLY AND TENDERLY HOLD YOU IN HIS ALMIGHTY ARMS, AS IF YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON IN ALL THE WORLD.

MY FRIEND, GOD WILL HELP YOU TODAY. HE WILL HEAL YOU AND DELIVER YOU TODAY IF YOU CAN AND WILL BELIEVE.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE WILL SAVE YOU TODAY, AND WRITE YOUR NAME IN HIS BOOK OF LIFE IN HEAVEN, (THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE – JESUS IS THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB).
Jesus was sacrificed for you and me, that through His death at Calvary and shed blood, He purchased your soul and opened the prison door that you could go free, know God, and be given eternal life in Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, which includes you, and your family, as well as the Whole World.
HERE’S WHAT HE’S SAYING TO YOU.
*I’m not far away like you think. *I’m as concerned with your smallest need as your largest. *I’m as interested in your legitimate desires as I am in your needs.
*I want to walk along side you and talk about and share the joy of your interests. *But, most of all, I want you in my Family. I want you in heaven with Me for all eternity.
*If you will repent and call upon me to save you, and if you ask My Son Jesus to come into your heart, I will save you.
And then Jesus will come into your heart and life, and God says, “I will give you the gift of eternal life through My Son Jesus, Christ.
READ: SHOULD I SPEAK IN TONGUES?
CALL UPON GOD TO SAVE YOU NOW, AND ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART TODAY.
HIS EYE WILL SEE YOU OUT OF ALL THOSE 7.5 BILLION SOULS, AND SAVE YOU AND REJOICE OVER YOU.
THE HOLY ANGELS AND SAINTS AND REDEEMED RELATIVES IN HEAVEN WILL REJOICE BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOUR LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND SALVATION FOR MANY MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS.
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
PRAY NOW: Dear God, I know I am a sinner and need to come to You. Please forgive me of my sins. I am truly sorry. Jesus come into my heart and Save me now.
Just as I am asking You to forgive me, I am forgiving everyone who has ever sinned against me. I know I can’t go to heaven if I don’t forgive everyone from my heart that has offended me.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit now, dear Lord. I renounce Satan, his works, his influence, his control and his power over me in Jesus mighty name. Heavenly Father, I will live for you all the days of my life and heaven will be my home for eternity. Thank You Lord for saving my soul. In Jesus name, Amen.
If you are sick and need God to heal you, pray this prayer:
Dear God, you made provision for my healing just before you were crucified. You took stripes on Your back so that (I) we might be healed.
You were whipped with a whip with sharp objects in it tearing hunks of flesh out of Your back all for me. Thank You Lord. I receive my healing now Dear Jesus, by faith in Your finished work of Calvary.
(Isaiah 53:5, 6) “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, He was chastised in order to bring the peace of God to our souls, and with His stripes we are healed…All we like sheep have gone astray, we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord, has laid on Him (Jesus), the iniquity of us all”.
If there be 50 Billion more people born on the planet before Jesus returns, His death would cover them also and cleanse, forgive, and redeem every one of them.
Yes, if he sees in you a honest and sincere desire to know Him and have a new life free from sin, He will focus in on you, and you will be the most important person in all the world to Him. Though He loves us, we must ask Him to save us, and we must ask Jesus into our hearts if we want to be saved from our sins, which saves us from hell and destruction.
Heaven is real, dear friend, but so is Hell. Heaven is forever, but so is hell. Stop and think about that. Consider what that entails. Hell is real, the flames are real, and the torments are real, but what’s even worse is the hopelessness and fear in hell. Think about it, Hell and it’s torments never end, and if you make the wrong decision, or don’t take seriously living for God, and obeying Him in everything, you could still lose your soul, even after asking Jesus into your heart.
I know many don’t believe that you can lose your soul, but the Bible says otherwise. So, Fear God and depart from evil if you’re a Christian and trust in the Lord. That’s where your true security lies.
(Phil. 2:5) the last part of the verse says, “Work out your own salvation with ‘FEAR AND TREMBLING’.
Why?
Because, if you don’t depart from evil after you are saved, you are not sincere, and do not love God enough to depart from evil, and with such a mindset you can lose your soul. Though Scripture tells us we are not saved by works, but by grace, it does tell us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
It means that though we are saved by grace and not by our works, it also means that we can be lost by not following the Lord and walking in obedience to His Word. But my friend, if we repent and turn away from our sin we shall live.
If, as a Christian you, in a weak moment sin, (which we must guard against), but if we do ‘WE MUST BE QUICK TO REPENT’, THAT IS A HEATHY PLACE TO BE IN. THE SAFEST PLACE HOWEVER, IS TO WALK SO CLOSE TO GOD AND LOVE HIM SO MUCH YOU WON’T WANT TO EVER SIN.
No human being will ever live his whole Christian life without sinning, but our goal is to never sin, and we must strive to live that way. If we excuse ourselves, saying, “We’re all human, so we’re all going to sin”, we have already laid the fatal foundation of backsliding and falling away from God, and losing our souls.
(I John 2:1) “I am writing this to you my children, so that you will not sin, but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf”.
You say, “none of our works count because our salvation is all by grace and not by works, ‘BUT OBEDIENCE IS NOT WORKS. THE OPPOSITE OF OBEDIENCE IS DISOBEDIENCE OR REBELLION. LISTEN TO WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY IN THESE NEXT SCRIPTURES.
(Romans 6:16) “Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether of ‘SIN UNTO DEATH’, OR OF OBEDIENCE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS”.
Paul here is talking to Christians and not the heathen. He is telling it just as it is. If we keep sinning without repenting after we get born-again, we are walking out from under the blood covering and the blood covenant and can be lost. That’s a fact.
We all need to be careful we don’t make our doctrines of extreme security, more iron clad than scripture itself. FOLLOW THE SCRIPTURES AND YOU’LL BE FOLLOWING THE LORD. BE HUMBLE, OPEN MINDED AND TEACHABLE, AND NEVER ARGUMENATIVE. CAN YOU SAY, ‘AMEN?’
(Galatians 5:19-21) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these. Adultery, fornication, uncleanness (sexuality), lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and such like of which I tell you, ‘THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD”.
Dear friend, God is not talking to the non-Christian but to those who have become Believers. Though God has saved us and promises to keep us, we must cooperate with Him and obey His Word, and not disobey it. We must not walk in the flesh, but we must walk in the Spirit.
Walking in the Spirit is walking by faith, obedience, trust, love, being led by the Spirit, loving God with all our soul, mind, strength, and might, and loving our neighbor as ourselves”. Upon these two commandments hang (depends) all the law and the prophets.
Let me end on a positive note by saving, “Yes, out of 7.5 Billion people when you pray, He hears you, and when you ask Him to forgive you, He does, and when you ask Him to save you and come into your heart He does. When you call upon Him with all your heart, He focuses in on you, and at that moment you are the most important and special person in all the world. God is fighting for you, and pulling for you, so don’t give up. Keep on believing, keeping on trusting, keep on pursuing the Lord. Scripture says “When you seek God with all your heart you will find Him, and at that very point He will meet you and say, “Welcome home my child.
Let us know what Jesus did for you, so we can ‘Rejoice together’.
