How do I receive Jesus In My Heart
People say do you know Jesus? Have you been saved?
People say do you know Jesus? Have you been saved? My mother’s favorite, “Have you received the free gift of eternal life and grace?” Do you want to be free? Have you welcomed love into your heart? Do you want to surrender and give shame and guilt and self-abuse away? Are you a sheep or a goat? Where will you spend eternity?
These questions are all the same question. Different ways of welcoming you into the family. A way of showing God’s love and light to you. A way of welcoming you into the family of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Joining with a brother and sisterhood of orphans, now family. Jesus made simple.
When some one reaches out to you in one of these ways they are not shaming or guilting you. They are saying you are welcome into the family of Christ.
Jesus is so in love with you! He is chasing you in the Spiritual Realm. If you let Him catch you, you will find peace and forgiveness that you long for. You are no different than the rest of us. It is written on our souls from when we were created. That is why you know in your heart; it should not be this hard.
Once you meet Him you will know it. There are different ways of expressing that you have received Jesus in your heart. Some say:
I am a believer that means I know Jesus
I welcomed Him into my heart and my life
I surrendered my ways of trying, to live life my way, on my own and falling short for His ways of gentle success
I laid all my baggage at His feet, my addiction, illnesses and all my pain, sorrow, fear and worry at His feet.
If someone approaches you with one of these comments, it is an offer to welcome you to ask questions, to have a deep conversation about your walk with the Lord.
I say, “I am healed because of Jesus. I welcome Him to my life to teach me and love me. I am no longer an orphan. I have a new identity as the son or daughter of God, the brother of Jesus and to become the vessel of God’s Spirit and the family of believers are my kin.”
When you have a personal experience with the Trinity, God, Jesus and Holy Spirit write it down. Find someone, a believer to talk to about it. I have hundreds of thousands of experiences with the Trinity. So, I will explain that just as you are one person, you have mind, spirit and body, that worked together to make you. This is the simple correlation. The Trinity, God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are all one God but different parts the persons of the God head.
God the all and all, Jesus became man, “the body”, Spirit is within you and guiding you. The Holy Spirit is a part of God that was sent to you, after you welcome Jesus, “the Savior”, into your life. He sent Holy Spirit to help you, teach you, comfort you and show you Jesus’ perfect peace.
Have you ever seen some tender eyes? Those eyes have compassion, love and peace even in the toughest of times. Those eyes are called “Jesus Eyes.” You can tell a sister or brother in Jesus Christ by their eyes. By their ability to know, or see, or feel or hear God. God, the Creator, always wanted an awesome relationship with His creations. Adam His first creation messed it up, was treasonous to the authority of God. Jesus came to fix that mess. On Easter we celebrate the restored relationship with God, because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.
Of course, Christians have fancy names for all these things. We call it Christianese (or Christianize), a way of explaining a concept in one quick word. Like, the golden chain of salvation, or a bible reference like Romans 8:8, or Romans 8 The Passion Translation (TPT). This is for later when you join a group or a mentor comes along or even a church helps you understand more deeply the true depths of God’s love for you.
Don’t get caught up in the complexity. God simply loves you. Welcome Jesus to your heart and to give Him your baggage. Find a person with Jesus’ eyes to help you. Be Blessed!
Scripture: Romans 10:8-13 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Covenant Verses Commandments
Question: are Commandments a Covenant
Commandment Study
Blue Blanket of Love
As many of you know it took me 10 years to complete my series of 10 commandments. Realizing that it was really 13 paintings. God gave me a vision during the painting or the series. He gave me a vision of a blue fog that engulfed the planet like a blue silk blanket pulled around the whole globe. No where was missed. That is what He is doing in this era of Glory on Earth. The study became and a 20’ by 35’ painting due to the revelation. I received it by studying His vast love for us. I taught it to a church many years ago. It is not what the world is saying. We must know God’s nature to discern the bible. The commandments are our friends not or foes. God is not an iron fist. He loves us. These commands are for your good. They help put guard rails to a world that is unfamiliar to our spirits and mind that are of God’s heavenly place.
Remember always that there are 2 fathers on earth a good one and evil one you get to choose which is yours. Live with and in the world, you choose on earth and it determines which you will spend eternity with.
I recognize that there are a variety of orders and ways of say the ten but this is the order I will be using.
The Ten Commandments
1. You shall have no other Gods but me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Respect your father and mother.
6. You must not commit murder.
7. You must not commit adultery.
8. You must not steal.
9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbor.
10.You must not be envious of your neighbor’s goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.
1 The Lord is One; Thou shalt love thy Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind
2 "And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
Go deep into the revelation of God’s love for you by getting closer to His nature. Revelation of his word in the bible. Keep in mind that God loves you always. Read the verse or verses. Stop and reflect on the piece. Then think about which words are being highlighted. What words to highlight. Put notes in a book or your bible, look up words in both a dictionary and a concordance, using multiple translations of the bible like NIV KJV etc. know the maps and the history of the time and now. Ask God to show you what He wants you to know. Ask God to confirm your understanding. Ask God to see His vision of the study you are doing.
The Promise in the Fifth Commandment
Deuteronomy 7:9Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Matthew 15:4 that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth’”
Ephesians 6:2-3God for the blessings that it brings
The last two commandments incorporate all the commandments together in the heart of God’s ways.
He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it.
Jesus now gifts us His righteousness as a free gift.
We are taken to our knees to show us where God starts and where we end. We are gifted the righteousness of the Messiah to learn to walk like Him in love not just for others but also for ourselves to the measure we can accomplish.
Conditional or Unconditional Covenant
Covenants in the Bible
God always keeps his promises
Jeremiah 31:31-34 A New Covenant
31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Jeremiah 31:31-34 ABCE
31 Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put My law within them, and on their hearts will I write it; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. 34 And they will no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they will all know Me [recognize, understand, and be acquainted with Me], from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will [seriously] remember their sin no more.
Kinds of Covenants in the Bible conditional and unconditional covenants
the relationship between God and humanity.
Today we are only looking at the main covenants, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus Christ.
Adam, (Conditional) covenant of works - obedient to God’s commands
Noah, (Un-Conditional) God made a promise to Noah to never again bring a flood to destroy the earth
Abraham, (Un-Conditional) by faith of Abraham in his God and for Abraham and his descendants to be His people. (One-sided covenant)
Moses, (Conditional) By works, God again promises life and blessing for obedience and death and punishment for disobedience
David, (Un-Conditional) a descendant of David will always reign as king
Jesus Christ, (Un-Conditional) covenant of grace and (Conditional) acknowledge and maintaining faith, God writes His law upon our hearts and completely forgives our sins. David’s promised Messiah. Once again by faith you receive the covenant,

Jesus the armor: He puts His arms around you.
Discussion on the armor of God
This can take a day or weeks to explore the full armor.
Ten Armor Pieces of God
- Stand. Stand up straight. Stand strong and firm. Do not let what you see allow yourself to fear. FEAR IS A LIAR! So, stand against, fear always. Then stay! God showed me a sewing stay and said, “Stay.” God’s timing is always prefect. His ways are higher and so are His thoughts better. We can stand and stay! Praise the Lord. Learn to stand up, talk and be honorable. Watch and know God is with you always.
- Price tag purchased by Jesus. The price tag is to be hung above your bed to remind you of your identity all the days of your life. The price, He paid was His sacrifice of blood, sweat and tears. We say, “I plead the blood over all in my life” Which means the enemy see the blood in the spiritual realm and says “Oh He is off limits. I can’t touch him or his stuff. He belongs to Jesus.” He bled in the garden, the strips, the crown, the pierced side and His death on the cross. So, we thank Him for His love and removing the evil curse from Adam.
- God gave you a Belt of truth with the price tag on it. So, you can see He paid for you. You are always His. The belt is to hold all the other armor together. The belt of truth is the truth you received from the heavenly realm. Not the truth of the world, it lies. You are not of the world nor ruled by the world. You are of the heavens and the give of freedom, liberty and God given rights are all yours. The truth in the bible and in the conversing with the Trinity are truth. The Truth is that we are anointed and appointed, priests, kings, and God’s chosen people. Chosen to rule and reign with him on earth as it is in heaven. Not for later but for NOW. For the stones would immediately cry out and the earth awaits to coming of the children of the Lord. All creation a wait in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. You my son are a child of the Lord now. Be revealed.
- Breastplate of Righteousness - The righteousness cannot be earned. It can only be given by Jesus through his sacrifice. We are righteous. White as snow. Not by our actions but by Jesus’ actions. The free gift of healing the divide between Heaven and Earth. Now restored. The breastplate of righteousness places you in a right relationship with the Trinity. It covers your lungs and your heart to protect your soul and your spirit. We stand in righteousness so we are protected from temptation — We must declare and decree it away. We rebuke the enemy at any sign he is in action. Using the name of Jesus. The enemy and his demons must flee. Praise the Lord. As Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young servant man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” I too pray your eyes and hears are open to hear and see all the Lord would want you to hear and see of the Kingdom on earth now. Be blessed in this and all the armor.
- Banner of Jesus, Jehovah Nissi you are our banner of Lord. In Exodus 17:15 “you delivered your people, you were the provision, you went ahead of them and cleared behind them.” Benji now Jesus has a pro-vision of you. He knows the plans He has for you. I declare for you Benji, “You are my God and you do deliver me with abundance and clear good vision of my future. Show me your glory and your character. Lead me to be more like You Lord, every day. I trust in your oh my God.”
- Mantal of Glory and Good Works We are moving into the days of glory, The new missionary’s and traveling preachers will be wearing green, for the Lord is doing a new thing in our time and they will be going forth proclaiming the glory of God is all around us. Benji proclaim to the trees and the rock and the deer and the chicken. God is good. Jesus heals and The glory of God is all around you. Praise the Lord. Titus helps us see we need to be ready to obey and do the good works God has for us. Faith without works is unserviceable. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. It is our great honor to be of service to the Lord. We save time in each day to allow God to use us and to give the Glory to Him. To allow the miracle to be coming forth because you showed up and God could use you. We subdue the earth and multiply. We tend to the animals and watch for an evil to put it down. The enemy can’t not take our kingdom land or animals or people. They must flee in the anointing and name of Jesus the name above all names. Amen and Amen, I agree and So it is.
- Shield of Faith and Wrist Guards, For us to take up the Shield of Faith is to stand in our belief that God is unlimited and will fulfill His promises. For this, we must know what His promises are. We see the fruits and gifts in His will for us now. We engage our faith to pray the big prayers and know His will is possible. We must ask to receive it. God is RE-creating in the creation of each day. As the Truth of Faith extinguishes the flames and schemes of the enemy, we can no longer see the idols of this time as harmless. We must speak to them. We must send our angel armies to tear down the strongholds and replace them with the Holy Spirit anointing. We understand that we have the power through the resurrection and the inheritance of Christ. We must have that courage to teach our children, so they see purpose and their purpose. The Shield of Faith allows God to set your destiny for you. The wrist guards show your character, are you bold, courageous, faithful, discerning? As you lift up your hand and fling off the arrows of evil you say in Psalm 91 the Lord tells me a thousand (viruses, sicknesses, evil schemes) may fall at your side, ten thousand (lies, trickeries, confusions) at your right hand, but it will not come near me. For the Lord will command His angels concerning me, to guard me, in all my ways. Because He loves me and I am His.
- Feet Shod with the Gospel - The Word (Jesus and the bible are both the Word)
As we shod our feet to the clear understanding of the love and gift of the gospel, undeserving but freely given. To know Jesus is to lead and help you at all times, day and night. To walk with you and talk with you as an intimate friend yet He is also the most-high God. This is the hour to do the good works prepared for you before time began and to spread the good news. Tell others it is time to make a choice to live or die and decide where you will spend eternity. Come join us in heaven for now let us walk the walk on earth and run our race to the end spreading the Good News. Jesus Christ is the Messiah. The Word tells us that wherever our feet step, we fly over or go on with a boat we claim the land for the kingdom and spread Holy Spirit anointing over it. Praise the Lord. The Kingdom is expanding into every spider hole. And all will have the opportunity to receive the Lord as their Savior. - Helmet of Salvation is to protect your mind. The mind of Christ. To let you know that the enemy will try to steal the word and revelation as soon as you get it. Don’t let him. Seal it to your mind with a prayer. Some people feel that the helmet of the knowledge of salvation is where it stops. Others think it is where it starts and ends. It is at the end of this list for a reason. You get the hug from Jesus and then the understanding and then your mission will come from that knowledge. This armor is Jesus’ (arms) around you visible and invisible. And it will stay with you all the days of your life. Learn ways and visit His temple in you. Nurture your relationship with Him. It will be well for you all your days.
- Sword is in your mouth and your pen. It allows you to rebuke the enemy of our soul. To decree, declare and prophesied to all even the rocks. It is important to stand up to evil. In the name of Jesus. Learn this through the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Ask him many questions and expect an answer. Stand on the word of the Lord. Hold it in your heart and it will come out your mouth as a sword. For what is in your heart will come out your mouth. For example, fear you are a liar, be gone in the name of Jesus. We were given an interpreter, in the engagement ring, of the Comforter. The Holy Spirit will spring into action on your behalf for any request at the drop of a hat. The Holy Spirit will speak to you in countless ways if you are looking for it. The Sword of the Spirit is a double edge sword, ready to heal and kill, to lose and bind, to cut through evil and expose Truth. We must use these tools that God provided us. We must believe the promises of God over and doubt. As we drink to our fill, the abundance of the living God wraps around us and solidifies our awareness of his temple within us. We realize that we are not waiting on Him but He is waiting on us. We need to take the shackles off ourselves and do our good works for the kingdom. Through the Holy Spirit and the Resurrection Power of Jesus you can do anything He asks you to do. With this armor and Jesus, you are ready, equipped and more than able. Don’t do it on your power but with His power and you will be successful. Praise is a weapon Praise the Lord always.
This is the scripture for the lesson.
Ephesians 6:10-20 The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Christ's weapons of war for you.
Anatomy of a weapon
This is a life style of the Love relationship between you and God
1 John 11-16
He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own—His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him. But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!] And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacles (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. John testified about Him and cried out, This was He of Whom I said, He Who comes after me has priority over me, for He was before me. [He takes rank above me, for He existed before I did. He has advanced before me, because He is my Chief.] For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
What are some of your weapons in Christ Jesus?
All weapons are both Offensive and Defensive
Knowledge Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
