This is not God's plan for us to be of no value: Psalm 138:8 (New Living Translation) The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. Don't stop here. Check this verse out: Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. God has plans for all of us. Sometimes his plans come later in ones life. Even Jesus Christ did not start his ministry until he was 30 years old. Continue to serve the King and trust that he has a plan. I was 60 years old before God started using my life in a big way. Our attitudes can effect God's timing on using us. So we need to prepare our hearts early. We are facing a spiritual battle now. God sometimes hides us to protect us from the enemy. Your day will come when God is ready for you to fight. Just remember you are not junk. 06/29/2022 .God has made a promise through his prophets that he is going to take out abortion, child trafficking and the corruption against his people. It is going on two years and everyone is getting impatient with what seems to be taking forever. But there is a reason why: 2 Peter 3:9 (New Living Translation) The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. This is what true love is about. I would have toasted the bad guys by now. That is another reason why God doesn't ask for my opinion. He too will only take so much before he reacts. Just remember this: Matthew 16:25 (New Living Translation) If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. It is time to repent and turn our life over to Jesus Christ. If we don't, the Lake of Fire will be our next home. Jesus would rather we be in the Kingdom of God with him. 06/28/2022 The NSA monitors all of our communications and has all of our phone calls, emails and texts stored in a database to see what we are up to. I believe this information is going to be used to clean up our government and destroy those in human trafficking because of this. Our God is omnipresent and monitors all of us: Jeremiah 23:24 (New Living Translation) Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord. So everything we do is seen by God. We cannot hide a thing. It really is a good thing though that he watches us. This way we get protection from the evil one. Jesus Christ was the only man to experience separation from God and he hated it. I am glad God sticks around because his separation is a terrible thing to have happen. Again Jesus Christ is their for us to make us righteous. He clears our recorded sins out of God's database when we ask for forgiveness. Jesus commands we love one another just as God did when Israel left Egypt. Leviticus 19:18 (New Living Translation) “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord Shouldn't we do as Christ asks to honor him. 06/27/2022 The NSA monitors all of our communications and has all of our phone calls, emails and texts stored in a database to see what we are up to.

I am the Lord Shouldn't we do as Christ asks to honor him. 06/24/2022 Many of us go to work everyday and do our duties. But while we are working, do we ever think about God. Or better yet, do we pray over our job before the work day starts. By praying and giving our job to God, this will happen: Isaiah 40:31 (New Living Translation) But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Many of us face job burn out when we leave God out of the equation. God will change your situation if your attitude is cool. He may bring someone into work that you can witness to. With a good attitude he can bless you at work and even at home. When you read this verse from Paul, he confirms this: 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (New Living Translation) But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. Both verses have one thing in common in that you will be strengthened to be able to handle the days tasks. Isaiah quotes "those who trust in the Lord" and Paul quotes "the Lord is faithful" When it is all said and done, trust in the Lord and he is faithful in strengthening you. Let's make burnout a thing of the past. Leave burn outs to muscle cars. There it is cool. 06/22/2022 Most of us never think about this but have you ever thought about how many times the true God has protected us from calamities while we serve him. I have even seen him protect others in their younger life because of a calling our God has over their life in the future. This verse proves this: Psalm 121:7-8 (New Living Translation) The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Once we release ourselves to Jesus Christ, the Freedom and peace begins.This means serving God but the power of this verse begins here: Psalm 91:1 (New Living Translation) Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. God is the same today as he was yesterday and these verses are as true today as they were in King David's era. 06/20/2022 We all have dreams of some kind. The most common dream is to become rich and/or famous. Satan can give you all of this by giving him your soul. This may sound cool in the short term but: Mark 8:36 (New Living Translation) And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Residing in the Lake of Fire for eternity is not a trade off I want. I have found that serving God may take longer to get things but it is worth it. He examines our hearts to see our motives. If you put your time and money into his Kingdom he has this promise: Malachi 3:10 New Living Translation 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! I want to store treasure in heaven and also reap the blessings God has for us on this earth. The real estate is so much cooler in his Kingdom. It is also the most fabulous place to live. I will gladly live there for eternity. Why don't we all serve God and witness the most fantastic place ever. Jesus came to earth just for this purpose but we have to graciously accept his gift. This means turning our life over to him and serving him. 06/19/2022 Why is it we think suffering is a bad thing when it comes to serving Jesus Christ. If you want to play professional sports, just try to get on board without suffering. It can be painful to be the best at anything. What! being good at serving Jesus Christ does not have that much meaning to me. Like how can I get rich serving him? We always miss the point on this one. You have to prove yourself like the men with the talents. Your evil heart may be preventing wealth. The richest men in the old testament served God. This includes Job who God allowed Satan to try to break him. But in the end God restored everything. Suffering prepares us for the Kingdom of God: Acts 14:22 where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. Righteous suffering promises rewards: 1 Peter 3:14 But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Those who endure suffering will get their spiritual body in shape: 1 Peter 5:10 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. In order to share in God's Glory that dreaded suffering has to be overcome: Romans 8:17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Don't be bull headed about your suffering enduring it alone. This will soften it: James 5:13 The Power of Prayer Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises Now I Iike the ending: Romans 8:18 The Future Glory Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. But until the end comes this promise will get us through it: 2 Corinthians 1:5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. It may not seem like it but it is a privilege to suffer for Jesus: Philippians 1:29 For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. Just think about it. If you are doing God's work you are angering the devil and he will try to stop you. The world is the devils playground and he can easily find worldly individuals to come against you. His goal is to make you stop: 1 Thessalonians 2:14 And then, dear brothers and sisters, you suffered persecution from your own countrymen. In this way, you imitated the believers in God’s churches in Judea who, because of their belief in Christ Jesus, suffered from their own people, the Jews. When you serve Jesus you will experience: 2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. What angers the devil pleases God. This is how he will stand with you. 2 Thessalonians 1:5 And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering. So keep your joy because you will become one powerful machine when it is all done: 2 Timothy 1:8 So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. To finalize things from one of the coolest dudes in the Bible: James 5:11 We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. James would never have wrote this if it was not true for the rest of us. Let’s take God up on this for our own lives. 06/17/2022 For those who live near Denver Colorado you were greeted with a night light show that only God could put on. I heard that it was so bright that you needed some form of sunglasses to drive safely on the interstate. Our God loves the light and David said it perfect about our God: Psalm 68:4-5 (New Living Translation) Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord— rejoice in his presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. David was born before Jesus Christ came. That disadvantage did not stop him from getting closer to God. He did get close enough to feel his presence. He was so excited about that he created music and words to exalt God. Why is it we have Jesus Christ that we are not even closer to God? Jesus has given us a in with God by what he did on the cross and the Holy Spirit that is now available to all of us. The world around us can quench our praises to him. This verse explains why: Matthew 6:24 God and Possessions “You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Even though money is a great thing to have it can be a distraction on our understanding of God. The more irons we have in the fire the less time we have for God and his people. Do you want to know a secret? This is good thing to remember. Mathew 6:31-34 31 “So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ 32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings. So you want money; seek his Kingdom first. After seeking his Kingdom you will be moved to sing praises to his awesome name. Next you will began to realize he is on your side. With fathers day around the corner, let this sink in: Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Because of Jesus Christ we are righteous and can come unto him anytime. 06/16/2022 As we read God's word we begin to understand who God is. We can see he is the ultimate Father: Psalm 103:13 (New Living Translation) The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. Until we have that reverance for God we continue to miss out on the wonderful things our King has to offer us. God is a lot of ways like earthly fathers in that: Proverbs 23:24 (New Living Translation) The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise. Don't kid yourself our God has joy when we live a godly life and we use the wisdom he gives us. We focus on becoming citizens of heaven. As this verse says: Philippians 3:20 (New Living Translation) But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. With all the weird things going on it may be sooner than we think. Let's stay focused on Jesus so it will be impossible to miss him when he comes back. 06/10/2022 One of my favorite stories happened during Jesus Christ hanging on the cross. One of the men beside him mocked Jesus for not getting himself out of this predicament. The other man must have seen Jesus in operation before and understood that Jesus was wrongly crucified. He was very disturbed that the other man was treating Jesus in this manner: Luke 23:39-43 39 One of the criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: “Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” 40 The other one, however, rebuked him, saying, “Don't you fear God? You received the same sentence he did. 41 Ours, however, is only right, because we are getting what we deserve for what we did; but he has done no wrong.” 42 And he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King!” 43 Jesus said to him, “I promise you that today you will be in Paradise with me.” Both men probably committed atrocities that would make you want to leave the room. Jesus Christ does not give points for sin atrocity. He loves us so much and all he is looking for is for us to ask for forgiveness and a heart change. Not everyone gets to come to the Lord at the last minute like this guy did. You may die in the twinkle of an eye. Make sure you are saved today. Just personally ask him to forgive your sins and turn your heart over to him. The thief inherited a place in the Kingdom of God without being baptized. But it would honor God for you to go through the commitment of being baptized. The moral of the story is: Colossians 3:13 (New Living Translation) Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Jesus despises sin but because of his love and the shedding of his blood he forgives us anyway. He then forgets our sins. Do you know why we must forgive others? There are three things that happen: Only if you show love can you forgive someone else. This tests your ability to love others. The second is to humble us. If we do not understand what a gift that is to have our sins forgiven, we will have a pride issue and we will never forgive. The third thing is the peace that will abound in our lives after we forgive. The last thing alone makes forgiving someone worth it. 06/09/2022 Almost every church will talk about the awesome grace we have received from Jesus Christ: John 3:17 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. But the church does not want to deal with comes next. This is not a feel good message in this verse: Matthew 7:13-14 (New Living Translation) “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Just think of viewing 100 people and more than 50 are going to hell. This may even mean someone sitting next to you in church may not be saved. If you don't believe me than why did Jesus say this: Mathew 7:21 I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. 22 When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ 23 Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’ So since Jesus Christ is unchangeable and always speaks the truth, why did he say this. We all have a free will and have to choose him. I always notice that in the summer months church attendance drops. Even Bible studies get canceled. Where in the Bible does it say we serve a winter God? We have a gang ministry and we feed hungry families each week. What would it be like to tell God to stick it because it messes with our summer plans of fun? That is what many Christians do every summer. If someone views your life and the life of the ungodly and cannot tell the difference this better be a wake up call. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and change your life for him. If our mind is not on serving God year around we only deceive ourselves. Don't let Jesus Christ say, "I never knew you." 06/08/2022 One of my favorite stories is when the ten spies went into the promised land to case it out. Only Caleb and Joshua were ready to go in and take possession of the land. The others came back in extreme fear because they separated themselves from God. Those who love God believe: Habakkuk 3:19 (New Living Translation) The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. Both Caleb and Joshua had to suffer the consequences of men separated from God by wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Caleb was a cool dude. He followed this verse to the tee. Even at 80 years of age he was ready to do what he was going to do 40 years ago. God really gave him strength. Caleb braged he could do anything a 40 year old man could do. He even proved it when he started taking possession of the land. King David, another confidant man, also had it pegged: Psalm 18:1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength Psalm 22:19 O Lord, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid! Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 71:7 My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. So if you want to conquer the world do this: Philippians 4:13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. 06/07/2022 One thing that people will never learn is that all the fake gods out there that they serve are now dead. Those leaders that started those religions ended up going to the grave. Even in our religion Jesus Christ also died and went to the grave. This is where the difference starts. He did not want to stay there and he rose from the dead. He knew that his work was not done and everything he has done was because of us. He is interested in our salvation and not sending us to hell. But we have to turn our hearts over to him and serve him. If not, the Lake of Fire will be our home for eternity. As the psalm acknowledges: Psalm 90:2,4 (New Living Translation) Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. We serve an everlasting God. Wouldn't it be better to be living with him. Jesus makes it simple. Ask him for forgiveness of your sins and turn your heart over to him. He will then put your name in the Lambs Book of Life. Jesus paid a extreme price for us. Let us serve him with a joyful heart to show him some respect. 06/06/2022 Walker Manufacturing makes one of the best lawnmowers in the world. One reason they are so successful is how they treat their employees. The owners walk around the entire complex asking employees if they need prayer or have any prayer requests. After they do that they take an interest in the employee and encourage them. I know they listen to them just in case they come up with a good idea to help the business. The rest of their success is when they turned their business over to God. The point is this: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (New Living Translation) So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. How many of us encourage our coworkers and brothers and sisters in Christ. We could change their world. Don't worry about the fact they may be your competition. God will reward you for turning down your interests for theirs. Your actions may actually bring a coworker to Jesus Christ. If not, you may have a happier coworker. Your brothers and sisters in Christ will be inspired by your encouragement. It will make them more bold and confident if they are encouraged. We want Paul to be able to say to us, "just as you are already doing." You students have greater impact over other students then adults have over adults especially if you are cool. I want to tell you a story how you can change the life of your fellow students. One of those students who is very well to do today had a testimony. He told the audience that when he was in high school that his self esteem was nearly gone. The starting quarterback came up to him and asked him to do some fun things with him. This guy was so cool that he did not care what anyone else thought. This began a friendship that they kept through high school. This encouraged him to do something big with his life. He finished the story by saying, "Before he asked me to be a friend, I had plans to kill myself that very night." Use your cool to save the life of another student. That is what Jesus would do. Any student can encourage another student. The only reason I brought up the cool students because almost all students want to be part of a certain group of kids. By investing time in these kids you are changing their world. Now is the time to tell them: 1 John 4:19 We love each other because he loved us first. 06/04/2022 There was a man whose name was Rush Limbaugh. He became famous because of his strong courage to talk about corruption in government. He had this famous saying that he would always quote just to irritate the left. He would say, " I have talent on-loan from God." I do have to agree with him that everything we are good at is a gift from God. When we die we give it back to God so he can give it to someone else. This even goes with blessings. They all go back to him after we die and he will bless someone else with what he shared with us. Thank you God for the talents you bestowed me with and the blessings you have given me to help others in need. I lift this verse up to you: 1 Chronicles 29:11 (New Living Translation) Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. 06/03/2022 How we speak to each other has a great impact on both parties. Many times when we become frustrated with life we speak harshly to our spouse or even friends. This in turn can create anxiety or tension in the other party. Even worse, a lost friendship. Solomon is right: Proverbs 15:1 (New Living Translation) A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. If I keep my tone down it is more difficult to upset the other party. Soft tones keep friendships. If I raise my voice to my wife she will resent me. But using a soft tone saying the same thing will keep the tension to a minimum. James knows a lot about our tongue: James 3:1 Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. 3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. 4 And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. 5 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. 6 And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. 7 People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? 12 Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring. I remember the movie "Star Wars". They would always talk about the power of the Force. I think our tongue has even more power then the fictional Force described in the movie. Our tongues can set the world on fire for Jesus Christ or advance the enemies foothold on our lives. We have a choice to make but never silence. What, you say that, "I am just going to be quiet to prevent inserting my foot into my mouth." Look what happens in silence: Job 11:3 Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed? We are to stand up for our God and speak about Jesus Christ to others. How can we lift up Thanksgiving to our King if we are silent: Psalm 30:12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever. Removing prayers from schools and abortions strong foothold are a result from silent Christians. Our continued silence has resulted in gay marriage, transgender behaviors and church lock downs. God gave us tongues to bring his message of Jesus Christ to the world; so speak up so people can hear you. The Holy Spirit will speak to the Father through our tongues and we do not want to stop that either. We need to follow this: Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words 06/02/2022 I was reading Hebrews 9 as it described how the tent Temple mimics the holy place in heaven. Even the Ark of the Covenant mimicked the Ark in heaven which the cherubim are alive. Once a year the high priest would take an animal blood sacrifice to the most holy place for the remission of our sins. Just remember this is a magnificent copy but not the real thing. This had to be done because: Hebrews 9:22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. The animal sacrifices went on for decades until this man Jesus came to earth. When he shed his pure blood on that cross, he changed things forever: Hebrews 9:12 When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, he did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, he took his own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. He became our last and only high priest. But Jesus was able to walk through the real deal to offer himself to the real Father just for us: Hebrews 9:28 (Good News Translation) In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him. The next mission is that Jesus is coming back when his church unites behind him. His real church is nothing like the mess we have today. God's message is being sugar coated and so called Christians have no problem supporting demonic platforms if it benefits their pocketbook. Our present day church needs to wake up and read God's word to know how to live. Pay attention to the last part of this verse which says "eagerly waiting". We could miss his return. 1 Thessalonians 5 New Living Translation 1 Now concerning how and when all this will happen, dear brothers and sisters, we don’t really need to write you. 2 For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. 3 When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. 4 But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. 5 For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. 6 So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. 7 Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. 8 But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. There is a good reason not to waste too much time on worldly things. Hebrews 9:27 And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment. I do want my King to say to me that I did invest time in his Kingdom. He will also remind of the times when I slacked and missed some opportunities to serve him. Since Jesus Christ removes our sins from our life, God will never bring our sins up during judgment. I really believe just as President Trump is pushing MAGA, we should be pushing MCGA. MAKE CHURCHES GREAT AGAIN. This would put a smile on Jesus's face. 06/01/2022 With all of the corruption going on, I have noticed that a lot of people are talking more about Jesus coming back. It will be magnificent when he does come: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (New Living Translation) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. The only problem with this is that two things have to happen first. There are 2 billion people on the planet who have have not heard about Jesus Christ. The first requirement is that all will hear about his glorious name. Second today's church is a mess. We have Christians endorsing demonic platforms and are not standing with God's entire word. Until the church falls behind Jesus Christ United with him and walking in power he will not come back. Those churches that refuse will be eliminated. God despises the luke warm church. So lets get into his word and become bold forJesus. Now Jesus can return. Just praying for it and doing nothing is only going to pospone his return. He wants us all to get involved. Just think if we were as bold as the new testament church, Jesus would have come back by now. God is waiting on his church for Christ's return. God is still not done with the future of the planet. Look at what is yet to come. Revelation 21: 2-4 (New Living Translation) And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” We serve a big God. 05/29/2022 There it is so much more to living the Godly life then just pleasing God. It affects everyone around you. What you do today will have an impact on your children. It can even effect your coworkers and the bosses business. Just think about it. You are living a godly life and tithing. Because of Malachi 3:10 there is a promise here: Malachi 3:10 New Living Translation 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! If your job is your only source of income God may use your employer as the method to bless you. Your blessings will even have some effect on your coworkers. This verse says it all: Psalm 103:17-18 (Good News Translation) But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands. Continue to pray for your family always. You may have a child who wants nothing to do with God but God put this verse into his word. Pray for your boss even if you don't like him. You never know, God may use him to greatly bless you. God really does want to do goodness in your life. Jesus Christ is the secret to a great family. Always serve him.
