You are blessed if you acknowledge Jesus as Lord. 

And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

Luke 7:23 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)

if you believe it, you’re going to be talking about it. 

Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

–Luke 7:7 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)

The cool thing is that God recognizes that. 

When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

–Luke 7:9 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)

Luke 4:21 (NKJV)

And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones
(Proverbs 16:24 NKJV)

A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger
(Proverbs 15:1 NKJV)

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers
(Ephesians 4:29 NKJV)

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing
(1 Thessalonians 5:11 NKJV)

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver
(Proverbs 25:11 NKJV)

Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
And you have strengthened the feeble knees
(Job 4:4 NKJV)

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is
(Proverbs 15:23 NKJV)

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one
(Colossians 4:6 NKJV)

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin:He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace
(Romans 8:1-6 NKJV)

For he who is not against us is on our side.
(Mark 9:40 NKJV)

People who work against God are doomed.  Those who are open to His move have incredible potential.

And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
(Mark 13:13 NKJV)

Some people say that once you’re saved, you’re always saved.  Once you confess Jesus as Lord, you will always have Him and the freedom, salvation, healthy, and fulness Jesus brought us through His resurrection.  That is wrong.
If you forsake the Lord, stop following Jesus, or fall away from Him, you’re not going to be with Him.  It is very clear again here Jesus own words, if you are not with Him to the end (and always, you are not with Him.
Let’s follow Jesus with everything we’ve got.  Get into His house every week no matter where we are.  Raise our hands to worship Him daily.  Love Him first and then you can easily love others as you see them through His eyes.

Mark 8:38 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Mark 8:38 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GW))

If people are ashamed of me and what I say in this unfaithful and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of those people when he comes with the holy angels in his Father’s glory.”

Mark 8:12 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)
But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.”

Jesus had just miraculously fed 4000 people. But yet, people who saw that asked him for signs or miracles.

God is working in our lives but yet there are some who just don’t see it.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
(Mark 8:38 NKJV)
