Hello ~ My name is Kibby. When a person receives Jesus Christ into our life as Lord and Savior, He sure does change our hearts! For example, for one thing, when I surrendered my life to Him about 25 years ago, God took me from a selfish, self-centered person and gave me the gift of helps mentioned in the Bible. I LOVE to help people!
Christians all have stories to tell of God’s leading, and here’s part of my journey with the Lord of my life. Soon after I was saved, an elderly Christian lady in Florida, Lillian Dixon, gave me a list of paraphrased verses she’d written out and personalized in her shaky handwriting and said, “Honey, as a new Christian, you’re going to need to know your new identity in Christ – who you are now that you are in unity with Jesus Christ”. I gratefully took them and would read them over in faith believing. They helped me grow in my Christian walk tremendously. Jesus is truly the Only Way To God.
Later on, I felt God stirring me to share these nuggets of truth from the Bible with others. So, I worked with a friend and added the first sheet and Salvation Prayer.
Now, God is impressing me to set up a website to make these verses available in English – as God leads, I believe other languages will follow - to everyone FREE. These four sheets can easily be printed off on two sheets, back to back. They are very attractive on colored paper. These verses can also easily be added as an email attachment. We have Spanish computer format ready soon.
These verse sheets can be used in many various ways. First, please get familiar with it yourself first.. They can be used with believers and non-believers; as there is a prayer of salvation in the Preface. These sheets are meant to encourage people to get to know the Lord, and His heart of love for each person.
The Bible says we all sin and fall short and I John l:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.” So, none of us can point our fingers at “sinners”. We are all in the same boat: desperately in need of a Savior from ourselves. God says JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE AND THAT NO ONE COMES TO HIM EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS. John l4:6. I am eternally grateful that God sent His One and Only Son to save anyone and everyone who believes that Jesus is the answer. He gives each of us free choice and He is a gentleman and does not force anyone to believe in Him. He loves us and has our best in mind. I invite you to email me if you would like to chat more.
Here are a few suggestions how to print and share these 4 pages. Please let me know if you have other ideas and I will add them.
- When I was believing God to heal me from an aggressive cancer almost l5 years ago; I drew near to God and embraced His Word as never before. These verses helped me grow close to Jesus My Healer. I saw God’s Word as medicine and I “took” it regularly and got filled up with God’s thoughts. Faith comes by hearing (and hearing and hearing His Word the Bible says)… (There are other specific verses where God convinced me that He is the healer and the enemy, the devil, is the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy). I became convinced God wanted me healed. God’s Word is so powerful!
- Pastors preach on the subject of “Who I Am In Christ” and give the verses out to each family or individual in their congregations. One pastor taught on “Identity Theft” and how the devil tries to steal the believer’s identity in Christ by lies and accusation.
- Many people use these verses to build themselves up; they just keep it in their car, their purse, their pocket, their Bible
- Parents use it for night time devotions with their young children.
- Christians slip a copy in their Christmas cards to friends and relatives.
- Christian teens use the verses for deepening their understanding of their true identity; which is different than the voices of the world scream at them.
- Prison/jail chaplains use the verses in counseling and also some give to the general population as Christmas gifts or whenever.
