Have a blessed Thursday

Good Morning,
“Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words…
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Acts 2:13-14; 37.

God will give you a resounding voice and authority to speak to defend your grounds, against all those, ordained by the devil to continuously oppose, slander, malign, traduce and work against any step you take in life. They see nothing good in you. But God will turn the table against them. Their conscience will smite them to submit to you. You’ll win them over, to become, believers, carriers and supporters of your dream In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!!!

Isaiah 55:12 KJV
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. May you manifest joy wherever you go and may the peace of God be with you in Jesus Christ. Amen!!!

Beloved, have a victorious day with Songs of Victory of Hallelujah in Christ Jesus. Amen!!!

Be Still and Know That HE Is God!!

Look, Listen, Feel. Something we have ALL heard…

What bible verse sums this up?

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”—Isaiah 43:18-19

Look upon the LORD, watch and learn (another tidbit, commonly said, used in the right context? We do not see Him but read of Him, Hear of Him, know of Him.) There are so many Scripture verses about looking and watching. Who are the happiest, most joyful in your immediate surroundings? I was hoping you would say, “Me!” Are you? Why not? We have an example, The Example, not only joyous, but Jesus wept. There are so many emotions we have as examples: https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/20-emotions-of-jesus-the

Two passages in the Gospels and one in the Epistles (Hebrews 5:7) teach that Jesus wept. In the Gospels, Our Lord wept as He looked on man’s misery, and both instances demonstrate our Lord’s (loving) human nature, His compassion for people, and the life He offers to those who believe. When Jesus wept, He showed all these things.

John 11:1–45 concerns the death and resurrection of Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha and a friend of our Lord. Jesus wept (John 11:35) when He gathered with the sisters and others mourning Lazarus’s death. Jesus did not weep over the death itself since He knew Lazarus would soon be raised and ultimately spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Yet He could not help but weep when confronted with the wailing and sobbing of Mary, Martha, and the other mourners (John 11:33). The original language indicates that our Lord wept “silent tears” or tears of compassion for His friends (Romans 12:15).

If Jesus had been present when Lazarus was dying, His compassion would have caused Him to heal His friend (John 11:14–15). But preventing a death might be considered by some to be a chance circumstance, or just a “minor” miracle, and this was not a time for any doubt. So Lazarus spent four days in death’s grave before Jesus publicly called him back to life. The Father wanted these witnesses to know that Jesus was the Son of God, that Jesus was sent by God, and that Jesus and the Father had the same will in everything (John 11:4, 40–42). Only the one true God could have performed such an awesome and breathtaking miracle, and through this miracle, the Father and the Son were glorified and many believed (John 11:4, 45).

In Luke 19:41–44 the Lord is taking His last trip to Jerusalem shortly before He was crucified at the insistence of His own people, the people He came to save. Earlier, the Lord had said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings and you would not have it” (Luke 13:34). As our Lord approached Jerusalem and thought of all those lost souls, “He saw the city and wept over it” (Luke 19:41). Here, wept is the same word used to describe the weeping of Mary and the others in John 11:33, so we know that Jesus cried aloud in anguish over the future of the city. That future was less than 40 years distant; in AD 70 more than 1,000,000 residents of Jerusalem died in one of the most gruesome sieges in recorded history.

Our Lord wept differently in these two instances because the eternal outcomes were entirely different. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus had eternal life because they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, but most in Jerusalem did not believe and therefore did not have life. The same is true today: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies’” (John 11:25).

To listen in truth, we have to be still. Are we ever? Yeah, yeah when you sleep, take an exam, concentrate. But are we ever ‘truly’ still?

There’s just too much noise! There’s just too much movement! Have you ever wondered how some Christians can be going through the worst pain and suffering and still they have joy? It’s because they are being still. They put all their worries in God’s hands.

Instead of listening to the noise of your worries, listen to the voice of the Lord. We are not to let our joy come from our circumstances, because circumstances change. The Lord remains the same. The Lord remains loyal, omnipotent, and loving. Allow your joy to come from Christ. Be still, stop paying attention to the storm. He has already proved that He can calm any storm. Sometimes God allows trials so you can learn to be more dependent on Him. God is saying, “I’m in control. I can do all things. Stop fearing and trust in me instead.” When your thoughts are running rampant, don’t seek temporary help by watching TV, going on the internet, etc. Go find a lonely place. A place with no noise. When you stop and focus on the beauty of Christ, you will receive the peace that He has promised you. When you cry out to Him in prayer, you will feel His comfort.

Be still and relax in the Lord. He is in control. Remember the times that He has helped you, other believers, and people in Scripture. God promises to help you and never leave you. Talk to Him, trust in Him, be still, and you will hear His calming voice and rest upon His strength.

January Ends, February Starts, blessings y’all

Good Morning,
And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that He sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. (Joshua 21:44)

GOD WILL GIVE YOU REST OF MIND OVER ISSUES CHALLENGING YOUR FAITH IN GOD, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.

AND YOUR CONFIDENCE SHALL BE FULLY RESTORED BACK TO ORDER BY REASON OF DIVINE INTERVENTION, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, Amen!!!

Psalms 115:3. May the Lord God Almighty who has authority on earth, and in the heavens to do whatsoever pleases Him, begin to do in your life, and that of every member of your household that which will silence, and disgrace every power that has been making mockery of the name, power, and glory of God in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen!!!

Have a great day in Christ Jesus with Songs of Victory- Hallelujah. Amen!!!

How it ties in…Be blessed

“I will say of The LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.” Psalm 91:2

“Fulfil ye the joy of brethren, that ye be likeminded, having the same Love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Philippians 2:2

“We your people praise Thee, O God; let all the nations praise Thee.” Psalm 67:5
For we are of God, our Father, we experience a Love like no other. It is indescribable, a Love like no other. A part of Him came to restart Life. We stand redeemed. In Spirit let us lay at His feet in obeisance, giving Him glory and honor and praises.

We are blessed! Rejoice in The LORD we are as He promises, redeemed!
Paul tells us, “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16, 17).
These verses say that He who created, controls; He who authored life is authority over life. The same God who spoke the universe into existence oversees counseling sessions and chemotherapy. No wonder God asks, “To whom shall I be equal?” (Isaiah 40:25).

His Word stands true, we are under His guard, as believers, we have, Anen

What, Or Who’s At The Center Of Your Life?

Tuesday, January 30, 2018
12:59 PM

What is your purpose in life? We have touched on this a bit in the past. Yes, the Universe (hmm! One more puzzling fact.) Uni- that means one or the same. We can go Scientific on this. Why is it not called multiverse? But rather one ‘collective’ of planets, a solar system. It gets more complex as we delve into what is. In referring to the solar system, it is centered around the sun. In effect, all the planet’s we know of revolve around the Sun. It is THE center of our UNI-verse. Scientifically speaking, it suggests very seriously, a center to and of our lives and existence. The sun is at the center, everything revolves around the Sun.

Is it possible that every last thing revolves around a single thing? We so often in Christianity, Islam and all the world religions adapt to a single source of life. Our Sun, our center. We may ask, “What is beyond?” I will ask, is there a ‘beyond’? A lot of nodding of heads. Who are you? What are you? We have toyed with the concept of ‘re-generation,’ is this fact or fallacy?

In His-story, people live but once, after which we exist in the decisions we made. Gets more complex by the second. WHO are you? WHAT are you? Questions abound. A simple way (or complex if you wish) is to base our reasoning on the sun. Distant planets will get minimal heat, light. Check this out. The ONLY planet with resources to sustain life is Earth. So cool? If the moon was gold, would astronauts be sent from earth to mine the goodness out of the moon? If other planets had resources as we do here, would we not be headed to these planets.

All this lends to thought, I am well aware. Yes! The moon is not close, but it is far enough away that it is a different entity. All of a sudden things are awry. Where, why, when, how… are all questions that arise.

Hold up. THE center of our lives for most individuals on Earth is a deity. Yes, we can look at Islam and Christianity and see that at least the beginnings in Judaism and Islam are the same. I will stay away from comparing, but in essence, we are all ONE people. Yes, different cultures, areas lead to differences in physical characteristics. When it comes down to the basics; if an individual needs a transplant a Caucasian can receive it from a Negro, Indian, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern and so on. The opposite applies with all cultures. So, we are all the same inside. Interesting, no?

I will not be ignorant to state that the differences are all superficial. But acquired secondary to the environment. Sickle Cell Anemia is an example AS the heterozygous allele is resistant to Malaria, this is bred into or out of a population. Here in the US, there are fewer sickle cell patients. Yes there are, genetically speaking, secondary to where they hail from. We can discuss this in regards to so many thing but in this dialogue, we will state the facts, we though different are one and the same.

We have touched on a smidgen on the complexity of life as we know it. The Sun, the center of ‘life.’ What is our center and will remain our center for always? Again, we make the choice and exist with the choices we make.

I am not ignorant to state that some things do not feel awfully good. But, everything in its place and time. We have a community, a life, in His-story there are facts that we are told about. If and when we believe: ALL things work together for Good for a subset of individuals, who are they?

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that Love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”— Romans 8:28

Difficult to say. What is His purpose? Why are you Here? We have touched on these things. Now, we have to take a serious look.

Who Loves God? Who is called according to His purpose? Many are called few accept The Call.— Matthew 22:14

Many people hear the call of God which comes through His revelation of Himself through two things—the creation and the conscience within us. But only the “few” will respond because they are the ones who are truly hearing. Jesus said many times, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” — Luke 14:35

A prayer for each and every way we pray and depend fully on The LORD, Amen

And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desires in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. — Isaiah 58:11

A post I received: Let go and let God

“Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants.“ –Deuteronomy 32:2

When dew comes, it permeates everything and there’s nothing it doesn’t touch. Wouldn’t it be neat if we allow God’s words to do the same in our lives? If we allowed it to permeate all areas of our lives, where would you see God working in you? Maybe it’s facing your fear of failure, reconnecting with your estranged brother, or treating your friend with respect. In any case, invite God to shower you with His teachings and be courageous enough to take them to heart and make a change. —Food for thought

Jesus said to His disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me.”—John 14:1

Have a blessed day y’all

Then Moses brought Aaron and his son’s and washed them with water. And He put the tunic on him, girded him with sash, clothe him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. Lev. 8:6-7.

I pray for you today that God will wash every impurity from you both physically and spiritually. He will cloth you with favour, gird you with the sash of His victory, robe you with His protection, put on you the ephod of His Glory, and gird you with the intricately woven band of His Grace tied with the riches of His mercy in Jesus Name. Shalom.
