Chronic Pain Survival Page
We learned from early on that life is constantly bombarding you with pain... be it heartache, emotional, mental, physical, financial, stressful... you name it, all kinds of pain. And the only 100% effective answer that we have found, is having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ... placing Him in the position of Lord and Savior of your life. It is not enough to simply "believe in God" because we are told in James 2:19-20 "Thou Believest that there is one God; thou doest well. THE DEMONS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD?" You see, anyone can "just believe", but believeing is only the first step. Acts 16:31 tells us "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.." and this is true. But there is much more that follows that is just as important. You see, although we may do our best to live as good as possible, our good is not enough because we were born into sin. Romans 3:23 tells us, "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Because we all sin, we are not worthy of the glory of God. As a matter of fact, there is a penalty for our sin that must be paid. "For the wages of sin is death...". Our sin deserves death! But thankfully, the verse doesn't end there! It goes on to read, "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord." Isn't that wonderful? Although we deserve death, God wants to provide a gift for us so that we can have eternal life afterall. But how? As the end of the verse says, "...through Jesus Christ, our Lord." God had to give the most precious gift of all.... His only son... to pay for the wages of our sin. It had to be Jesus Christ because He was sinless.... and knew no sin. Only a person who was completely guiltless could pay the price for the guilty. John 3:16 tells us, "For God SO LOVED THE WORLD, that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth on Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life!" You see, we have to "believe" that we are sinners, then we have to "believe" that Jesus freely gave His life to pay for our sin-debt so that it would be wiped clean. Once we acknowledge this in our hearts, its time to talk to the Lord about it. We need to tell Him that we understand we NEED a Savior, and ask Him to forgive us for our sinful, stubborn ways,(I John 1:9 "For if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") and ask Him to come live in us, be a part of us, rule in our lives and actions, help us not to continue in our sinful ways... because Romans 6:11-12 tells us, "...reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but ALIVE unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let NOT sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in its lusts." But strive each day through prayer, and through reading His Word (the Bible) to live more and more like Him. As difficult as it sounds, we don't go into this alone. We have Jesus Christ Himself who wants to help us. Philippians 4:13 promises us, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me." And friend, that is how we get through each and every difficult situation we are faced with. Our health, our finances, our depression... no matter what, when you have Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life, it is through His strength inside you that you are able to get through each trial that comes your way. We know! We've been through pure tribulation for the past 16 years. And we would have gone insane by now had we not had our Savior by our side every step of the way.
If you have not asked Jesus Christ to be the Savior of your life, would you do that today? I would love to help you!
If you would bow your heart to Him, and simply tell Him;
"Dear Jesus, I know I've sinned... I know I've done wrong in my life.. and I ask you to forgive me for each one..because I know you already took each and every sin on yourself when you died for me. Thank you for loving me enough to do that. Please come into my heart, live and rule in my life. Please help me to want to turn from sin and to live a life that will please you. Help me to live each day to be more like you. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen."
If you have prayed this prayer, would you please let us know so that we can rejoice with you and pray for you? Nothing would bring us more joy than to know that another precious soul has come to Christ! Luke 15:7 tells us, "I say unto you hat likewise joy shall be in heavn over one sinner that repenteth..."! Isn't that exciting? The angels in Heaven are rejoicing over you! Praise God. We have other information that we would like to give you as you begin your new life with Christ. If you would email us your name and address, we would like to send it to you. You will never get any "junk mail" or "petitions for money" or trying to sell anything. We are just a husband and wife who love the Lord and care about you.
Praying for you always,
Jerry & Debbie Senese
