I believe that Jesus is the beginning and the ending

This is what I believe, and I will just share a little here. I believe that Jesus is the beginning and the ending. He was before all time. When he told us
this in the book of revelation, he was notgiving us a general piece of revelation about himself.
A truth we need to apply to our lives every-day.

REVELATION 1:8

I am the alpha and the omega, says the Lord God, "Who is and was, and who is to come,the almighty."

He says He is the beginning.
So no matter what the problems in life you come up against, or what circumstance or situation you are facing today, you need to start with Him.

You see here that Jesus is the Word. That means that you are going to start with Jesus, you are going to start with the Word of God. When you are facing problems you should do absolutely nothing until you find out for yourself what the Word says about It. Then act upon what the Word says and
Stay on the Word.

Colossians 1:23
Continue in faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye have heard.

Do not be pressured by the devil to throw away the Word of God. The devil knows that is the only way that he can defeat you. For it is the devils business to get you to doubt the Word of God.

Jesus himself was tempted by the devil,and the devil will misquote the Word and twist it in such a way that unless You go to the word yourself, and study It for yourself, you could be deceived.

So go to the Word no matter what the circumstance and no matter what may happen, pray and settle the Word in your heart, and stay with the word,forever!

I taught my children to not just take any-ones word for what is in the Bible, not even their Pastor, but to take notes and when they got home, study God's Word for themselves, for God said He was the end, the Omega. The Word of the Lord. Jesus Christ is the last Word.

Isaiah 40:5

And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
And all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
Believe you are who God says you are.

Believe God is who he says He is, and You Will get the victory. For Jesus is our
Savior, He is the beginning and the end,He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, He was before all time.

"The Conquers Prayer"

I arise today

Through God's strength to pilot me:

God's might to uphold me,

God's wisdom to guide me,

God's eye to look before me,

God's ear to hear me,

God's word to speak for me,

God's hand to guard me,

God's way to lie before me,

God's shield to protect me.

God's host to save me,

From snares of devils,

From temptations of vices,

From everyone who shall

wish me ill,

Afar and near,

Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these

powers between me and

evils, Against every cruel

merciless power that may

oppose my body and soul

Against incantation of

false prophets, Against

black laws of prgandom,

Against false laws of heretics,

Against craft of idolatry,

Against spells of witches

And smiths and wizards,

Against every knowledge that

Corrupts mans body and soul,

Christ to shield me today,

Against poison, against burning,

Against drowning, against wounding,

So that there may come to me

abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before

me, Christ behind me. Christ

in me, Christ beneath me,

Christ above me, Christ on my

right, Christ on my left, Christ

when I lie down, Christ when I

sit down, Christ when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every

man that thinks of me, Christ

in the mouth of everyone who

speaks of me, Christ in every

eye that sees me, Christ in every

ear that hears me,

I arise today

Through a mighty strength,

The invocation of the Trinity

Through belief in the threeness,

THROUGH the confession the

Oneness, O CREATOR OF CREATION.



This poem is an excerpt from "How The Irish Saved Civilization" By Thomas Cahill It really helps me to pray this prayer, I hope you will too.
