DO NOT BE AFRAID; DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, IF YOU HAVE THE GREAT I AM!

When you're fearing a situation or emotional challenge, really envision God saying this to you: Deuteronomy 31:8 " He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" I read a little short article a while back that brought this Bible verse to my mind. Seems like there was this little boy, ( and it could very well be my little 5 year old grandson) as a toddler, this little boy would call out in the night from his own bedroom. He would call for his mommy or daddy. This article talked that one evening he called out to his daddy, from his bedroom. His daddy ran to check on him. He found the small toddler hunched against the wall in the corner of his bed, clutching his favorite stuffed animal as if clinging to life itself. " I'm scared daddy," he said, spilling out how hairy green monsters lurked in the closet and razor-teethed shadows slid across the floor, ready to pounce. Even though daddy tried to reason with him, that nothing is in the closet, lights are on, there is nothing wrong or nothing here to hurt you. The little boy said, " if I need you will you come to help me?" Course, the daddy, said , you bet buddy, I will be right here to fight off your fears." I think what I saw in this article, was that are all, if we admit it, afraid of being ALONE. Well, if you really understand this verse and believe it, you are never ALONE. When you take hold and believe this, it will change your being AFRAID. You are never alone, when you have the GREAT I AM ! Call on the Lord, when you feel afraid, or discouraged, He is waiting to hear our cry. For the King and His Kingdom, Sarah Tyler Author

2020... WHAT WILL BE THE SIZE OF YOUR FAITH?

I don't know about you, but I have decided to make 2020 my year of more faith. The scriptures say, " if we have the faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain. "MOVE from here to there; and it will move; nothing will be impossible to you" ( Matt. 17:20) That scripture is saying we only need mustard - seed size faith to deal with mountain-size problems. Do you know how very small a mustard seed is? it is @ the size of a pencil head. That's small, but inside is the life that grows into one of the largest trees you will ever see. How about us using that scenario; Inside of us, if we are a believer in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we have that LIFE inside of us, that FAITH to say to the mountain, ( whatever kind of mountain) is causing you pain, discouragement, heartbreak, addition, chains that bind you, WE are to say to that mountain, " MOVE" and the life that's in our small little faith will have to obey. Remember the FAITH you had when you heard Jesus call your name to come to Him, to invite Him into your heart for forgiveness of all your sins?, well that's the same life that is in that FAITH, that the scripture speaks about in having just the faith of a tiny mustard seed. So, it's the LIFE inside your FAITH that lets you say, " MOVE MOUNTAIN" that's my prayer for all of you this New Year. Have a faith-filled LIFE FAITH in 2020. It's in you friend.

A GREAT LIGHT HAS COME TO FILL THE DARKNESS: JESUS!.

I know you would like to hear a joyful Christmas greeting, you would like to hear Jingle bells and ho. ho. ho. But the truth for Christmas is that the world is filled with darkness and we are in such need for LIGHT. WELL, we have that LIGHT. The great Light of Jesus came into the world of darkness to bring us light. I know many have heard the Christmas story, probably even if only as a child in school, you heard the Christmas programs presented: And there were in the field shepherds watching over their flocks by night, and they saw a great light....... but I bet as a schoolchild, ( and that's speaking of in the good old days) when you were allowed to tell the true Bible Christmas story. You didn't personally understand the full impact of what that all meant. Can I tell you that it was the best Christmas present one could ever receive? For by having Jesus as the LIGHT to shine in this Fallen, darkened world, we have a blessed hope. No matter what is under your Christmas tree this year, my prayer is that you know John 3:16. " God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, and whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. " JESUS IS THAT LIGHT! May you see that great LIGHT by asking Jesus, the LIGHT to come into your heart, ask Him to forgive you of your sins and for the rest of your life's journey, you will have had the best everlasting Christmas present you could ever want. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU. OH, HOW HE LOVES YOU AND ME. LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

HALLELUJAH. WE'VE BEEN FOUND, A CHILD IS BORN TO SAVE US NOW, JESUS HALLELUJAH......

As I write this blog, thinking of only 8 more days till Christmas, I can't help but think; you may have up your Christmas tree, you may have decorations all over the house, some even have their yards full of deco. , All the presents are now finally wrapped and under that beautiful tree. BUT..... do you truly know the reason that we celebrate Christmas? I know that in America many, many, have heard over and over through church services, through programs, through some Bible teachings, BUT my question to you in this quiet moment, just the two of us talking and reading these words, " how is your heart"? What's inside your heart? PRAISE TO GOD ON HIGH, HE HAS HEARD OUR CRY, we've been found, a light has come, a child is born to save us now, JESUS. See, God left His throne in glory to become a baby in human form to come to earth, the Savior Jesus who brings us life, He came to SET HIS PEOPLE FREE to all that will believe. Let this be the BEST CHRISTMAS ever for you my friend, as you look to this Savior, that was born, felt your pain, died for your sins, offers you forgiveness, He was born to die for you. Ask Him into your heart, let this be the BEST Christmas for you. Hallelujah, We've been found, a child is born to save us now, Jesus Hallelujah, FOR ALL THAT WILL BELIEVE. And, THAT'S ALL THAT WILL BELIEVE. !! For the King and His Kingdom, Sarah Tyler-Author.

NO ONE CARES FOR ME LIKE JESUS.........

A word to those that at this time of the year. Especially, that have that letdown feeling; that why am I here feeling; that, like the old song in the 60's sung by Dionne Warwick, that was titled "What's it all about Alfie? " Is it just for the moment we live? I believe in love, Alfie, without true love we just exist, As sure as I believe there's a heaven above Alfie, I know there something much more, until you find the love you've missed you're nothing Alfie" Well, that's what I want you to know. You may have thought you have known love with a friend, a partner, a spouse. But until you know the love of Jesus Christ and His great forgiveness, then you really have not known true love. Let this Christmas speak to your heart like never before. Maybe you have been in church services, heard the Christmas story, how God sent himself in human form as Jesus, born in a manger, to grow up to go to the cross of Calvary, to take on the sins of the world. Maybe, you like me, have had a head knowledge for years and then finally, one touch of the Great I AM, brought all you knew of Jesus our sin forgiver, from just head knowledge to actually asking Him into your heart. That's when you can say with me, " No one ever cared for me like Jesus." No better love, that He would lay down His life and die for our sins. How about considering all I've said? Then you know 'What's it all about Alfie"? Jesus, the one that gave His life to break the chains that bind you, by dying on that cross, that when you ask Him into your heart, He forgives your past, present, and future sins. You won't have to ask that song title, "What's it all about Alfie?' But you will sing, " OH WHAT A SAVIOR, my Great I AM!

GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART........

Well, we as Americans, celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday. As we hurry around to get the turkey, all the trimmings, and wonder if it will all be done perfectly, how about. asking yourself deep in your heart, " what am I really thankful for?" This is a lean year for my family. Lean in the respect of no family much. The old saying, when momma is gone, things just sort of fall apart, she has that " something that just always seems right". Even though my momma and daddy have been gone since 1965-1968, whew!, I always relied on my sister Bonnie to step into momma's place. And she always did. We always had Thanksgiving at her home, and so many of the family would all gather, yep! We had 10 siblings in the family, they dwindled down over the years and then the cousins, the 2nd cousins, etc. would come from out of town. Now we don't have Bonnie, we don't have my brother Bill, ( last living of the 4 boys) So this year it's my husband, myself and one sister. My # 1 son is in St. Louis/ they have their own groups, my #2 son has his wife's big family/ so they go there, understandable. So, I ask myself as I'm asking you, " What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving". I know without a doubt, I am thankful for America, My Great I AM!, and my prayer is for America to return to its love for one another. Never before in my 76 years have I seen such a great divide. Let us follow out great Lord and you will have a love like never before. Think about it! He's our everything. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen. Sarah Tyler-Author.

Psalms 73: 17 UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD

Have you, like me, wondered, and if we were totally honest, had a desire to have a lot of things; great opportunities, maybe even a new car, the luxury home, on and on............ And looking at those that seem to have so much in this life, without them ever acknowledging our great Lord? Well, I like the Psalms writer, David, as he asks these questions in Pslams 73 was at one time just asking sometimes those same things that we maybe have ask. He writes from the beginning of Psalm 73. I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. The other men are not in trouble, their eyes stand out with fatness, they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt and speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, saying, " how does God know, is there any knowledge in the Most High? He continues; Have I cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocency? BUT, OH I LOVE when I get to verse 16-17 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me, V-17 UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY of GOD; then understood I their end. Friends, this is what it's all about! Don't worry about what you are foolish in seeing, because there is an end and they will miss heaven. The MOST IMPORTANT. And forever and ever.

SEEK JESUS FIRST AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

Are you troubled, are you heavy-hearted? tell it to Jesus, He is a friend like no other. I had so many new Facebook connections today, I began to see how really disconnected we as created beings have become. We just need to tell our stories and believe me, some really have some sad stories. I understand because I too have had many sad stories on my journey. That's why I wrote my new non-fiction book, to let the world know that all I have been through, there was hope. My book shares how I was one of 10 children raised in a very dysfunctional family, but I didn't know at the time that I would meet the Great I AM !. God had His plan all along. He has a plan for you also. But you must ask Jesus into your heart, for Him to be your sin forgiver, He died for your sins. Once you belong to Him then He can unveil your plan. Then if, you will put Him first in all you do He will make sure that ALL falls into place. It's actually a promise from the scriptures: Matthew 6:33. How about you, will you make Jesus your own personal Savior? Let Him be your own Great I AM. Keep your eyes on my blogs, I'm all about telling souls of my Savior. Sarah Tyler Author.

"Did I not tell you, that if you believe, you would see the glory of God"? John 11:40

MAN MAY HAVE his WORD, BUT GOD HAS THE LAST WORD. He WiLL MAKE A WAY.

DO YOU KNOW MY SAVIOR, DO YOU KNOW MY FRIEND?

IN times like these, you need a Savior, in times like these, you need a friend. These are words from an old Christian song. They speak volumes to what your need is today. Let me tell you this old, old story. How a Savior came from glory. He was God in the flesh, He was God's Son, and He came to make a sacrifice for my sins and your sins. Oh, yes we all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. So that means you need someone that took your penalty of sin and died for your transgressions. That one was Jesus, our Savior. I know that very few have actually NOT heard this old, old story, but have you heard and not taken Jesus into your heart? Or, have you been like I was for many years, had head knowledge about Jesus, but never understood that I must ask Him into my heart? My friends, if you believe that Jesus is who He says He is, and you know that He was virgin born, just as the Bible scriptures say, then your next step is to let Him come into your heart. You do that, just as I did in 1969. I had a head knowledge, but not heart knowledge. The Spirit convicted me that to have Him in my heart, I must ask Him in. I testify of this miracle in my new book, My Christian Journey Through a Fallen World. A true story all about my life of struggles. But, God had His plan for me. I hope you will get the book and read how He has His plan for you also. On Amazon, or email me for a mailed out paperback copy. For the King and His Kingdom, https://www.sarahtylerauthor.com
