daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Rainy day here and my head hurts...I know, one like that ought to. The words that Jesus spoke have had an effect on the entire earth. Jesus never wrote a book but there are many written about him. Jesus never wrote down his own words or kept a journal but no other person in history has their words remembered like Jesus'. Jesus' words have inspired more paintings, carvings, mosaics than anyone elses. More music has been inspired by Jesus' words than any other. To deny his very existence and to dismiss his influence in this world is plain ignorance of recorded history. The bible does say that only a fool says there is no God and with all the evidence, that statement is true. If you want to study some interesting stuff, explore the prophecies written millena before he came. They point right to him as messiah. I don't have the room to put them on this forum but over 300 point directly to him. Man! What are the odds to that many prophecies written hundreds of years apart could point to one man? Astronomical is an understatement! Get into your bible and explore these prophecies. You will be amazed...

Matt 24:34-35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
NIV

Acts 13:26-41
"Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.
"We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:

"'You are my Son; today I have become your Father.'

The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words:

"I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David."

So it is stated elsewhere:

"You will not let your Holy One see decay."

For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

"Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you."
NIV
