GOD Did The Very First Heart Transplant...

 I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART AND PUT A NEW SPIRIT
  WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE OUT
  OF YOUR FLESH AND GIVE YOU A NEW HEART OF
  FLESH.  I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU AND CAUSE
  YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND YOU WILL KEEP 
  MY JUDGMENTS AND DO THEM.        
                      ( EZEKIEL 36:26-27 *NKJV )

  Dear Brethren
      Now this verse proves that GOD did the very first
  heart transplant.  In fact HE has been doing transplants for
  thousands of years!  Even better than that, the heart that
  GOD gives to us is filled with the fruit of the spirit!  And
  THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE,
  PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS FAITHFULNESS,
  GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL. 
  ( GALATIANS 5:22 )

      Remember when you invited GOD into your life?.
  Think about how hard your life was before that day!  Also
  think about how your life has changed for the better since
  then!

      Now just in case you haven't received that new heart yet,
  today would be a great day to ask GOD for it!  No
  appointment is needed, and HE won't leave you in the waiting
  room for two hours, reading last years magazines either!
  By the way you won't need health Insurance to pay for it
  because it's a free gift from GOD as well.

      So why not ask GOD for that new heart today, if you 
  haven't already?  For HE has said: "THEN I WILL GIVE 
  THEM ONE HEART, AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT 
  WITHIN THEM, AND TAKE THE STONY HEART OUT OF 
  THEIR FLESH, AND GIVE THEM A HEART OF FLESH, 
  THAT THEY MAY WALK IN MY STATUTES AND KEEP
  MY JUDGMENTS AND DO THEM; AND THEY SHALL BE 
  MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD."
  ( EZEKIEL 11:19 )

      Now, may you: GROW IN THE GRACE AND 
  KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS 
  CHRIST.  TO HIM BE GLORY BOTH NOW AND 
  FOREVER!  AMEN.                                ( 2 PETER 3:18 )

  In HIS Love & Service,

Right From The Heart: Angry Much?

"Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools." - Ecclesiastes 7:9

We all get angry. We're human, after all. But, do you ever feel your anger is justified? Have you ever used the term "righteous anger?" The phrase is often used when someone has wronged us so unjustly that we say, "I have every right to be angry." And then to justify our outburst, we'll add, "Jesus showed righteous anger, didn't He?"

Well, yes, He did. But it is important to notice what triggered His righteous anger. Once was when He entered the temple and found it had been turned into a place for taking advantage of the poor. Jesus was furious about it because God was not being respected. Jesus also got angry whenever people were taken advantage of, mistreated, or were shown contempt. And Jesus became indignant when the disciples would not allow children to visit with Him. These are all displays of righteous anger. 

But understand this: Jesus only became angry when others were mistreated. Jesus never got angry when HE was treated unjustly. So, how did He react when He was the target of injustice? Look at what Jesus did when He was unfairly sentenced to death, the ultimate act of personal injustice. 

He said, "Father, forgive them."
