2 Minutes with Pastor Don- All our righteousness are filthy rags

Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV) But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags”

A rich young man ran up to Jesus, fell on his knees before Him, and asked, “good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good -except God alone.” Luke 10:17-18. NIV.
Jesus himself depended on the good of His Father alone. It is the same with us. We always want to act as if our righteousness have something to do with God’s love for us. “No”! It is by His grace alone, and our accepting what Jesus did on the cross for our sins.

Blessings,

2Minutes with Pastor Don- In my Father's house are many rooms!

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. We have so many little chambers of the heart spiritually that is closed off to the work of God in our lives. God sent the Holy Spirit to help counsel and heal those places of the heart that are filled with pain, trouble, and strife. Jesus prepared a place for us! He said: “In my Father’s house are many rooms and I go there to prepare a place for you! Be encourage to make room in those deep chambers of your heart to God! He will heal you and give you victory.

Blessings,

2Minutes with Pastor Don- I stand at the door and knock!

Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 Just as we need to Ask, Seek and Knock for God to respond to us as we cry out to Him in all things, so it is with us as well to open the door of our hearts when God knocks  it at any given time! In order to receive  the help and growth we need to live for God in this world that can be dark at times, we need to allow the power of God through the Holy Spirit to come in the doors of our hearts and do a changing work that only He can and will do, if we let Him! Just remember: Colossians 1:27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’ Blessings, Pastor Don Dukes

2 Minutes with Pastor Don- Create in me a Clean Heart!

There are times as we walk with God, we become discouraged because our hearts are not as pure before the Lord as we would like it to be. We might say: “God would do so much more with me if only I had a pure heart.” Well, don’t despair! Remember that only God alone can do a great work  in us as we walk  with Him daily through His Son Jesus Christ! God said to the Israelites: “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.“ Ezequiel 11:19 God is more than able to change a hardened heart into a softened heart towards Him! Rest, rely and  wait on Him! For as you seek Him, you’ll find Him waiting to minister to you and change the hard areas of the heart, to the heart of softness that you will desire to commune with Him and walk in victory!
Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Blessings,
Pastor Don Dukes
