The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

JESUS CHRIST TELLS US WHO HE IS
IN HIS OWN WORDS.
THE VOICE OF THE BURNING BUSH
EXODUS 3:14
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”
And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,
‘I AM has sent me to you.’
John 8:58-59
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple,
going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
(Jesus was claiming to be God who was speaking to Moses out of the burning bush.
That is why they took up stones to kill him.)
JESUS CHRIST IS FORE TOLD TO COME IN THE FUTURE IN THE BIBLE
ISAIAH 9:6-7 (written 740 to 686 B.C.)
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
NOW JESUS SAID
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE
JOHN 6:32-35
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven,
but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
“For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
“Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.
He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
JOHN 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world.
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
I AM DOOR OF THE SHEEP
JOHN 10:7
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
I AM THE GOOD SHEPARD
JOHN 10:12-15
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep,
sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees;
and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
“The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
JOHN 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
“And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
JOHN 14:6-11
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also;
and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?
He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority;
but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me,
or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
I AM THE VINE, YOU ARE THE BRANCHES
JOHN 15:1-5
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
“Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
“I am the vine; you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit,
for without Me you can do nothing.
JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
AFTER RAISING FROM THE DEAD.
JOHN 20:19-29
Then the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut
where the disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews,
came Jesus and stood
in the midst,
and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you.
And when he had so said,
he shewed unto them his hands
and his side.
Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord.
Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you:
as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.
And when he had said this,
he breathed on them,
and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Whose soever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them;
and whose soever sins ye retain,
they are retained.
But Thomas,
one of the twelve, called Didymus,
was not with them
when Jesus came.
The other disciples
therefore said unto him,
we have seen the Lord.
But he said unto them,
Except I shall see
in his hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger
into the print of the nails,
and thrust my hand
into his side,
I will not believe.
And after eight days
again his disciples
were within,
and Thomas with them:
then came Jesus,
the doors being shut,
and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you.
Then saith he to Thomas,
Reach hither thy finger,
and behold my hands;
and reach hither thy hand,
and thrust it into my side:
and be not faithless,
but believing.
And Thomas answered
and said unto him,
My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him,
Thomas,
because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed.
DO YOU BELIEVE?
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD.

THIS IS WHY AFTER READING ALL THESE VERSES IN THE BIBLE
(AND THERE ARE MANY MORE)
I BELIEVE
JESUS IS GOD
AND THIS IS WHY THE FOLLOWING VERSES
ARE SO IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE.
ROMANS 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ACTS 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
ROMANS CHAPTER 10 VERSES 8 - 10
BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY?
“THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”
(THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH WE PREACH):
THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS,
AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD,
THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION
IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.
HOW DO I PRAY?
That Seems like an easy question at first
but as a new believer in Jesus Christ it can seem a little challenging.
We were created for fellowship with God
and he loves you and wants to hear from you.
In Luke 18:1
Jesus said “that men ought to pray and not loose heart.”
But how?
In Luke 11;1-4
The disciples asked Jesus how they should pray.
And it came to pass,
that, as he was praying in a certain place,
when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him,
Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
And he said unto them, when ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins;
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
In Philippians 4:6-7
We are told.
Be careful for nothing;
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Prayer comes down to a relationship with God.
Meaning, you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
then your relationship with God begins based on that truth.
That Jesus Christ died on a cross for your sins
so you can now have a relationship with God.
Jesus said in John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So, I assume you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior.
So basically, prayer is talking to God as you would to anyone else.
You are now in a relationship with God because of his son Jesus Christ.
If you want any relationship to grow you must spend time with them.
At first it is hard to talk to the new person in a relationship,
because we don’t know what to say
but as time goes by it gets easier and easier.
It is the same with God.
Our primary purpose in this life
is to have a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
In order for us to grow in our relationship with him,
we must be committed to a life of prayer.
Through prayer,
God changes our hearts,
dealing with us from the inside out.
In this manner we begin to lose ourself
and become more like Jesus.
Our whole life should become one of prayer.
Whether we wake, eat, walk, play, rest, chat or retire for the night,
we should enjoy the Father’s presence.
Rejoicing in Him, praising Him, thanking Him,
talking to Him. Listening to him, saying we’re sorry,
and keeping silent.
As we share our life with him,
we allow him to share his life with us.
Just talk to him because he loves you.
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.

What is the Cure to facing Fear.
IT IS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD BY PRAYING,
READING THE BIBLE, AND SPENDING TIME WITH OTHER BELIEVERS
TO HELP YOU WITH FEAR.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7 FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR,
BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND.
THE SECRET OF TURNING DESPAIR INTO CONFIDENCE IS WHEN YOU GET THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE AND TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE PROBLEM AND ON TO HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS. (PSALMS 91)
ALWAYS REMEMBER!
SO, REMEMBER WE HAVE NO NEED TO FEAR BECAUSE THE ETERENAL GOD HAS GONE BEFORE US AND KNOWS ALL THINGS THAT ARE AHEAD. HE IS OUR DWELLING PLACE, OUR PLACE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY. THE ARMS OF GOD ARE EVER BENEATH US HOLDLY US TIGHTLY.

- GOD IS ETERENAL. BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT A SITUTATION OR AN EXPERIENCE, GOD HAS ALREADY PRECEEDED YOU THERE.
- GOD IS YOUR REFUGE. A REFUGE IS A SHELTER. A SECURE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN BE SAFE FROM ALL THE STORMS OF LIFE, AND OH, HOW SAFE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR SHELTER IN GOD BY RECEIVING JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR. THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT THE NAME OF YAHWEH IS A STRONG TOWER; THE RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO IT AND ARE SAFE. PROVERBS 18:10.
- UNDERNEATH US WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS OF GOD. THAT MEANS I CANNOT FALL. MANY TIMES, I MAY THINK I WILL FALL BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT GOD IS HOLDING ME UP AND WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN.
- WE MUST REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET NO MATTER WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS GOD IS RIGHT THERE, READY AND ABLE TO HOLD US AND PROTECT US.
SO, REMEMBER WE HAVE NO NEED TO FEAR BECAUSE THE ETERENAL GOD HAS GONE BEFORE US AND KNOWS ALL THINGS THAT ARE AHEAD. HE IS OUR DWELLING PLACE, OUR PLACE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY. THE ARMS OF GOD ARE EVER BENEATH US HOLDLY US TIGHTLY.

WHAT GOD DO YOU SERVE?
That Seems like strange question at first but as you look at the past
and what ancient peoples worshiped in false idols,
we see that people still worship them today,
but they don’t see it that way.
The truth is people have not really changed all that much.
In the Bible in the book of EXODUS 20:1-7 it says.
And God spake all these words, saying,
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Today if you worship your own intellect,
you are worshiping the false idol of the past called
Baal (The God of the Intellect).
If you worship only pleasure,
you are worshiping the false idol of the past called.
Molech (The God of Pleasure).
If you worship gaining power
no matter how you hurt others to do it you are worshipping the false Idol of the past called.
Mammon (The God of Power).
If you worship or live only for sex, you are worshiping the false Idol of the past called.
Ashtoreth (The Goddess of Sex)
How do you know that you are worshipping a false God today?
What are you living for?
What is the master passion of your life?
What gets you out of bed every day?
Then that is the God you are serving.
Our God does not want to be worship as a God on a list of ten others.
He wants to be worshiped as number one on a list of one.
Take a moment to think where you spend most of your private thoughts.
Is it one of the Gods above or is it the True and Living God Yahweh
Only you can decide what God you are worshipping with your thought life.
We all serve something.
Turn your thought life to the only true and living God.
How do you do that?
By spending time with him in prayer, reading the Bible (His Word),
praising him in singing to him and
staying in fellowship with others who love and serve the true and living God.
Psalms 119:11 says.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
The Apostle Paul told us in Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report.
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The most important thing in this life is knowing Jesus as your personnel Lord and Savior. My pray for you is that every day will be the Ultimate Adventure for you.

ISAIAH 6:8-9
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
'Whom shall I send', and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me.
And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed, but understand not;
and see ye indeed, but perceive not".
