www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST FEBRUARY 2021 5 The Priceless Corner We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show God’s plan of salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:

1. GOD LOVES YOU! “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). 2. MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD “For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20). “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). 3. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Peter 3:18). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). 4. YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR Jesus calls this experience the new birth. He told Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name” (John 1:12).

A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY JIMMY SWAGGART THE EXPOSITOR’S WORD FOR EVERY DAY Devotional time with the Lord each day is crucial to the growth of every Christian. What makes this devotional different from all others is that The Expositor’s Word For Every Day is the product of a revelation—the revelation of the cross, which changes lives. A Scripture is provided for each day of the year, including leap year, followed by a short teaching by Brother Swaggart related to the cross of Christ. Each entry is rich with answers from God’s Word. (892 PAGES, HARDBACK) YOUR PRICE JUST CATALOG PRICE $30 $20 08-334 PLUS SHIPPING & HANDLING

We invite you to join us at Family Worship Center for Resurrection Campmeeting 2021, which includes a special dedication service of our newly renovated sanctuary. The new lighting, seating, and sound will make this event, we believe, our best yet.

So come and be with us in services designed for one purpose, and one purpose only: to portray, the best that we can, the King of kings and the Lord of lords—Jesus Christ— who is able to break every chain of bondage, lift men, women, and children above the shadows, and plant their feet on higher ground!

We pray God’s richest blessings upon you and hope that you and yours can be with us in Baton Rouge for Resurrection Campmeeting 2021! MARCH 31–APRIL 4, 2021

ANOINTED MUSIC BRINGS BLESSING

“I love your discussion on anointed music. I have a beauty salon in my home and one of my dear clients with dementia was brought in for a perm. Wondering how I could handle her to give her a perm, I asked the Lord for help. He brought to my heart the music CDs I have from your ministry. I put one in the player and immediately my client regained clarity as the music filled the room. She said to me, “I could just sing!” I replied, “Go ahead, you can sing in the salon.” She began to sing along with the music, and it was one appointment I will never forget. Her countenance changed and she had clarity! The blinds went up in her spirit! I sent her home with that CD! Praise God for that beautiful time I had with her.” —Email

They often quote I Timothy 5:23 to support their argument in favor of drinking wine or strong drink, or they refer to John 2 where Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding at Cana. Many so-called believers are desiring permission from the pulpit to drink wine and other forms of strong drink.

I tried to carry it any way. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding” (Prov. 3:5).

Not from the burden of prayer, but from being burdened after your prayer is offered in faith to God. Trust in prayer may not always be the same thing as trust in God. Selah!

Man has a history of going to great lengths to appear righteous. Adam’s immediate reaction to the effect of sin was to sew fig leaves together. This was a clear attempt at a cover up. He quickly found out that God sees through our flimsy attempts to appear righteous. Many today try to appear righteous through good works. Others attempt to redefine sin so as to remove their offence from the list of divine prohibitions. Still others attempt to appear righteous through what is called relative righteousness.

God was telling Jeremiah to tell Israel this when they were captives of the Babylonians. Today we would call them prison- ers of war. God wanted to encourage them and let them know He was not through with them and that even though they were having problems, He had tremendous plans for them. In spite of their immediate circumstances, His plans were created for their greatest fulfillment and contentment, and to help them toward a great future. If they followed Him, it would lead them to heaven which included:

Surprisingly, more people choose to follow Satan than those who follow God’s plan and purpose (Matt. 7:13-14). Time devoted toward understanding and Probably the biggest reason for that is because Satan lies and applying Scriptures to daily life—as an indi- deceives people into believing that his plan and purpose will be vidual, family, or study group—is invaluable more beneficial (Gen. 3:1-7). to the spiritual growth of believers.
