Are you having problems in your life? Do you have questions that no one can
|
||
|
|
seem to answer? If you do, Jesus can change your life and give you the kind of
|
||
|
|
happiness that you have never experienced before!!! In John 10:10 Jesus says,
|
||
|
|
"... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
|
||
|
|
abundantly."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Are things such as drugs or sex taking control of your life? Are your friends
|
||
|
|
pressuring you into doing things that you really don't want to do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jesus Christ can help you conquer any problem that you may face in your life!
|
||
|
|
The Bible says in Philippians, "I can do all things through Christ which
|
||
|
|
strengtheneth me." We are promised in Romans 8:37, "Nay, in all these things
|
||
|
|
we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Are you having problems dealing with family troubles such as divorce or
|
||
|
|
separation? If so, Jesus can help you through the problem, and help you do
|
||
|
|
something about it. Jesus knows there's going to be trouble in your life and
|
||
|
|
that is why in Psalm 46:1 the Bible promises us that "God is our refuge and
|
||
|
|
strength, a very present help in trouble." In Philippians 4:6-7, it says, "Be
|
||
|
|
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
|
||
|
|
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God,
|
||
|
|
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
|
||
|
|
Christ Jesus." Prayer is a very powerful tool if only you take advantage of
|
||
|
|
it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no question of whether or not you need Jesus. But accepting Him is
|
||
|
|
your choice. Jesus can change your life, and in every respect make it better.
|
||
|
|
Jesus says in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
|
||
|
|
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him." If you want to
|
||
|
|
accept Jesus into your heart, and have Him become the master of your life,
|
||
|
|
pray this prayer:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Jesus, I really need you in my life. I know that I've sinned against you,
|
||
|
|
please forgive me. I know that you died for me. I now dedicate the rest of my
|
||
|
|
life to you. Jesus, I love you! Amen."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that you have found true happiness in Jesus, won't you care enough to tell
|
||
|
|
your friends how they, too, can find happiness in Jesus.

Scott Allen Kelsey was shot accidentally by his hunting companion on Sunday,
|
||
|
|
February 9, 1986. He went to meet the Lord February 10, 1986. He was 17 years
|
||
|
|
old and was a Senior at Independence Christian School in Independence,
|
||
|
|
Missouri. He was an active member of his church youth group and was a blessing
|
||
|
|
to everyone who knew him. The week before his death he wrote this tract as an
|
||
|
|
assignment for his Bible class. This was his message to all teenagers and
|
||
|
|
adults alike. This tract is in memory of Scott A. Kelsey, in hope that is will
|
||
|
|
help teenagers and adults to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
