Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. When our King rose from the dead, he became that filter that displays us pure to the Father exactly how Isaiah described it. He is definitely pure himself: Daniel 7:9 I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like purest wool. He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire, Revelation 1:14 NLT His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. Jesus "King of kings" and "Lord over lords". 11/07/2024 I sure do like hearing this phrase, "President Donald Trump". I dedicate this verse to him because he is doing so many things world wide: Isaiah 14:26-27 NLT 26 I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgment upon all the nations. 27 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him? Lord, move this man like a freight train so your enemies will be crushed. I know that he loves you but he still needs your protection and enthusiasm to continue the fight. I am sure he likes this Motto for America. "One nation under God serving Jesus Christ". President Trump you sure have my support!! 11/06/2024 I have noticed how what has happened to us in the last four years has had repercussions on everyone. I do believe that God is removing the fence and is showing small signs of what America is doing to herself by separating from the true God. I firmly believe God is doing this as I write this: Ephesians 1:9-10 NLT God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. No one in our past has ever seen anything like what God is about to do. The people who lived in Acts will say to God that we have never seen anything like this. God will reply, "I am saving the best till last." just a Jesus did with the wine. None of us have any idea what God is about to do. It will be done according to Ephesians 1:9-10. All I know is that the name of Jesus Christ is going to be exalted during this time. There will probably also be a great falling away when God destroys the fence. As for me "Jesus is Lord" and he will always be "King of Kings" to me. P.S. I really am getting impatient with God's plan coming together. God is always having to remind me that he wants no one to go to hell. His reason is to give more people time to turn to him and to expose what the enemy is doing to his people. President Trump has been reelected to destroy the enemy for what he has done. God is giving many another chance to repent. True love for people would make us want the same timing God does. 11/01/2024 So you think you are the only one who has problems, Peter says you are not alone: 1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. The sad part about this is that we become so focused on what is going on in our lives that we forget this about other people who are also struggling. I just only have to think about President Trump who the nut jobs are trying to take out. My problems are miniscule to his and I need to be praying for his safety and Victory over the evil one. If he wins, we all win. Jesus is Lord and Trump 2024 10/31/2024 These verses fits the Democrat party to a tee. The Republicans who lust for money are in the same boat. Replace Jerusalem with Washington DC and you have a true statement and a God who is just as angry today: Isaiah 28:14-22 NLT 14 Therefore, listen to this message from the Lord, you scoffing rulers in Jerusalem. 15 You boast, “We have struck a bargain to cheat death and have made a deal to dodge the grave. The coming destruction can never touch us, for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.” 16 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. 17 I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away. [Look at all the flooding and hail occurring world wide.] 18 I will cancel the bargain you made to cheat death, and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave. When the terrible enemy sweeps through, you will be trampled into the ground. 19 Again and again that flood will come, morning after morning, day and night, until you are carried away.” This message will bring terror to your people. 20 The bed you have made is too short to lie on. The blankets are too narrow to cover you. 21 The Lord will come as he did against the Philistines at Mount Perazim and against the Amorites at Gibeon. He will come to do a strange thing; he will come to do an unusual deed: 22 For the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, has plainly said that he is determined to crush the whole land. So scoff no more, or your punishment will be even greater. This is why it is so important to vote. Send the real bad ones packing. The rest will soon learn. We want people in government who honor the masses and hopefully God. After all this country has been under his protection for a long time. Let's put him back on the throne again. He is a natural at it. "One nation under God serving Jesus Christ." This should be our national motto. Now watch America become great again. 10/30/2024 If you really want to please our King do this: Romans 12:1 NLT And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Even though praise is amazing this is what our King really wants from us. 10/29/2024 A black woman had a dream from God. God revealed to her that President Trump is not a great orator and does have sin in his life. He then told her, "I have seen his heart, and I see he wants righteousness for my nation of America. That is the reason that I have chosen him for what I am about to do." But many pastors and Christians are like this: Luke 18:9-15 NLT Parable of the Christian and President Trump 9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Christian, and the other was a despised president. 11 The Christian stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that president! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ 13 “But President stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Christian, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” I know that I substituted Christian for Pharisee and President Trump for tax collector, but the verse is still true. I have always liked President Trump even if he has sin in his life. I totally understand him because I too have sin in my life but because of Jesus Christ who forgives sin has forgotten our past sins and is interested what we are doing now. Even though we both are trying to live more like Christ we will never get there 100% because it is written: Romans 3:23 NLT For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. This means our past; present and future life is going to contain sin or the consequences of sin. So, you sinner, get off the sins of Donald Trump and vote and support a man who wants righteousness for this nation. God sent his son to save the individual from hell and Donald Trump to save a nation. God definitely picked the right man for this job. Donald Trump 2024 10/28/2024 Sometimes we like to put our giving on a pedestal in front of God then his son reveals this in two of the gospels: Luke 21:1-4 NLT The Widow’s Offering 21 While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. 2 Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. 3 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. 4 For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has. Mark says that Jesus called his disciples together first before he revealed the meaning of giving. He wanted to make sure they got it: Mark 12:41-44 NLT The Widow’s Offering 41 Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. 43 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions. 44 For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on. Even though I give a lot to help in the ministries God has chosen me for, he wants me to know that I am not alone and there are people who give and sacrifice more than I do. There are people in the ghetto who probably give more like the widow lady and still give a lower percentage than I do. For example, If I give 30% of $60,000 and they give 10% of $20,000 that leaves me with $42,000 and the person in the ghetto with $18,000. In today's economy I am better of then the other person and made less of a sacrifice then he did. It takes more personal sacrifice for those who do not make as much money as I do. God will honor both cases and we both will never miss that money when God is in control in the long term. It is humbling to know there are people today who give like the widow woman. This definitely keeps things in perspective for me when I give. 10/25/2024 King Solomon credited this to being one of the wisest men to walk the earth: Proverbs 9:10 NLT Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. Until this guides our thinking, we will do many dumb things in the sight of our King. Paul hit the nail on the head: Titus 3:3 NLT Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. Romans 1:21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. These last two verses represent many Christians of today. You think that I am wrong then why did Jesus say: Matthew 7:21-23 NLT True Disciples 21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ They are not following the advice of King Solomon. This is how to begin that personal relationship with our LORD. 10/24/2024 America is paying a price for being disobedient to God. Deuteronomy explains what happens when a nation quits obeying God: Deuteronomy 28:15-24 NLT Curses for Disobedience 15 “But if you refuse to listen to the Lord your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you: 16 Your towns and your fields will be cursed. {You see it in the Blue cities today} 17 Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be cursed. {Just had recalls on bad onions and beef.} 18 Your children and your crops will be cursed. {Kids don't know their gender today} The offspring of your herds and flocks will be cursed. {Check out the bird flu } 19 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be cursed. {Definitely see it in California, but it is spreading} 20 “The Lord himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me. {Confusion and frustation is everywhere. Road rage is a good example} 21 The Lord will afflict you with diseases until none of you are left in the land you are about to enter and occupy. {Have not forgot about the scamdemic. They sure tried to kill us.} 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting diseases, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These disasters will pursue you until you die. {There are lots of sick people today and I personally faced the scorching heat and drought on the land.} 23 The skies above will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth beneath will be as hard as iron. {Some say this means that our prayers just bounce back.} 24 The Lord will change the rain that falls on your land into powder, and dust will pour down from the sky until you are destroyed. {Witnessed this one too. I was not destroyed by the dust though. It is almost like they are talking about chemtrails. Those definitely create dust from the sky.} These things all happen to Israel when they disobeyed God. We are feeling the beginning of Deuteronomy 28:15 in our nation today. We deserve everything that is happening, but God has other plans for America. His son wants to use America to bring the word to the entire world before he returns which is soon. But when Israel came back to God, he turned all these bad things off and blessed the nation again. Lucky for us, God decided to do the same for us. We did not deserve it. We have to fall in behind the will of God. Since God is giving mercy to America, we need to pay attention to how we are living for our King. Mercy is not a get out of jail card free. Hebrews talks about those who abuse mercy: Hebrews 10:26-27 NLT 26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27 There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. The harvest is great, and we need to be in our top form when we preach the gospel to the world. After all, everyone is watching us. We need to show people the life that our King showed us when he was on the Earth. Our King came so that no man would parish. If we truly loved people, we would want to go after them like our King did when he was on earth. I know this irritates a lot of people but "JESUS CHRIST IS LORD and is also the KING OF KINGS." 10/23/2024 By now everyone has heard about the two young men saying "Jesus is Lord" at the democratic rally. What is so cool about this is why they were there. The prophets have said a lot about God doing things through our youth and he does not disappoint. They had to be called by God to go into that situation as evil as this rally was to expose the democrats for who they really are. What surprises me is the fact that people only talk about is how much Kamala Harris has offended the religious community and Jesus Christ. When you watch the footage, you will notice that they were on the topic of abortion and the room was mostly quiet when they said, "Jesus is Lord". Those young men did not get a single Amen or applause from anybody in that room. That tells me that everybody there hates God. If there were really Christians there, they would have stood up and said Amen or at least applauded. Or is it these so-called Christians there were too embarrassed to acknowledge their King in front of men. There is scripture that says: Mark 8:38 NLT If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. This means, there is a good chance that everybody in that room is going to hell. Jesus will not stand up for you if you are embarrassed of him. He made a tremendous sacrifice to die for us just so that we could be with the Father in heaven. Why can't we have enough pride in what he did for us, that we would acknowledge him in our circle of worldly friends? What a travesty! At the Republican rally, it was a different story. When Vance was talking about what happened there at the democrat rally, someone in the crowd shouted out "Jesus is the King of kings". Vance just smiled and said, "You are right 'Jesus is the King of kings'. The crowd applauded for our King. Unlike the democrats who if they could have gotten away with it would have imprisoned those two teenagers for what they said. You could see their hatred as they shoved and pushed them around as they escorted them out of the building. I firmly believe that if you are a Democrat, you can't really be a Christian because you are supporting an entirely demonic platform. Democrats also proved that they want nothing to do with God the way they treated these two young men. Their actions confirmed everything that I believe. If you truly loved Jesus, you would declare him as Lord every day as opportunities presents itself. 10/20/2024 Everyone seems to know about the mark of the beast. But have you ever thought about why he picked the areas on the human body to place them and why it angers God so much when people do take the mark: Revelation 13:15-17 NLT 15 He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die. 16 He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. It all started back in Deuteronomy why this came to past: Deuteronomy 6:5-8 NLT 5 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. 6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. These areas are sacred to God for placing his things on. The enemy knows this, so he mocks God when he commandeers these areas for himself. This is also why they call this period the tribulation because God is not taking this lightly and this will be the period of man's greatest suffering ever on this earth. Now you know why you cannot take the mark unless you think hell is the place you want to go. I believe that Jesus will return for his church before this happens. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he will leave you behind to face this terrible predicament. It is very important that we are living for Jesus Christ today! 10/19/2024 It is getting time to vote, and many Christians will not vote because they find faults in all the candidates and make excuses to not vote. Do they not realize that God used scum bags in scriptures to do amazing things. I know it is work to investigate a candidate but you have to measure the ideas of both and pick the scum bag whose values best represent Gods. Most Christians do not realize this but if you do not vote you endorse that candidate that gets in because you do not care. This is exactly how God sees it. Your vote is very important to him. Please do not waste your vote on the demonic platforms. Our abortion candidates are supporting ungodly ideals. I swear they read the bible and do the opposite. The prolife people's ideas line up with more of what God wants. You should be on their side. Just as Jesus did, Christians need to get involved in politics because the enemy is heavily involved in politics. South Korea had Christians involved in politics and they have religious freedom today. You can talk about Jesus Christ without much persecution. Jesus said that you will always have some persecution when you live for me. North Korea did not have any competition from the Christians and the enemy has won there. There is massive persecution against Christians. Why don't you Christians who do not want to get involved in politics go and witness to these people. You will learn really quick why we need to be involved with politics. People need to have freedom to accept Jesus Christ. The enemy infiltrates us gradually to test the waters. When he discovers that Christians are politically gutless, he introduces more evil at each test. It is amazing how much he has gotten away with because we do not want to be bothered with the things that would honor God. 10/17/2024 I knew the Lord at a fairly young age but when I think back when I was in college that I never really talked to anybody about Jesus Christ. I was more there to get an education so I could get that bigger house or that better muscle car. But God had something to say about my thinking: Romans 12:2 NLT Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. I do believe that God wants to bless us, and he does not have any problems with us having things. The question is why we want those things. Instead of having a faster car than my neighbor then I think of muscle cars as necessary to take the hole shot between moving cars. I have learned not to be jealous about what others have and be grateful for what I do have. I could easily take everything I give to God and buy any muscle car out there. It is not God's will for me to burn the streets up every weekend. He has shown me how giving to people who are not as fortunate as I am not only changes their lives but restores their faith in God. We have to give glory to God anytime we can. He really likes it when we glorify him in front of people. Being totally unknown, I have even been called the "Robin Hood of the ghetto". This is definitely a cool title to have just because I am helping God with his desires Those same people are sharing what is going on with their neighbors and they too are asking questions about our King. The love of money prevents the world from investing in people who are in need. Paul talks about this more: 1 Corinthians 1:26-27 NLT 26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. 27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 1 Corinthians 1:28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. We do have to read God's word to adjust our thinking. The Holy Spirit can fill the gaps to condition us in godly thinking. 10/13/2024 I am sure grateful that God shares things with people. I am even more grateful when they share things with us what is going on in their own life. They can be real encouraging. I had to put a lot of checkboxes by what this woman was saying. She happened to be in her closet when God gave her this message. God wanted her to share this message with the rest of us. God knows we're tired and he knows our troubles. He knows what we have been facing and he knows we are just downright over it and exhausted. We are both mentally and physically exhausted. We physically feel like we can sleep for a week. We are so freaking tired right now, but he also knows that we have been having this feeling that something is about to happen. It is going to happen big. God is saying even though you are tired, I know what you're capable of, so you need to keep going right now. I am going to come through but if you give up now and you just say, "I am too tired. I just want to give up." You will not see what is coming up in this season that you're in. Stay strong. It's OK that you are tired. You do not have to move fast. Just move and move closer to me. That is all I want right now. God is about to make some huge changes in your life and in my life. I had to check a lot of boxes off myself on what she's saying and hearing from God. I believe every word that she said about there are going to be big changes that we are going to see in our lives. The countdown I feel is in days. Let's be like the five maids who had their lamps full. 10/10/2024 Anton lavay, the man who wrote the satanic bible said that he is pleased that Christians worship satan on halloween every year. Did you ever ask yourself what God thought about halloween. Paul recorded this: 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 KJV 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil You need to pray against this day and do something to honor our Lord instead. I wiil not serve Satan in any way. Instead bind him up so he will leave my presence. Only the Holy Spirit can give true satisfaction. 10/08/2024 There has been a lot of talk about Jesus returning. I too believe that it is getting close but not near as close as they think it is and I'll tell you why. Matthew talks about what will need to happen before Jesus returns. Jesus himself said that the entire world will have to hear about me before I will return. Matthew 24:14 NLT 14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. Why is God calling missionaries to go into the world to bring his message to the people. If everyone in the world has heard about Jesus Christ this would not be necessary. He will not return until these criteria are filled. The sad part about if Jesus would come today is all the people who have not accepted him yet and are going to hell. God is not anxious to see any one of us parish. God himself knew this day would come, that is the reason he told Joel of the greatest outpouring of his spirit in the last days. We have seen the start of it in the gang ministry but it basically dead on the world stage, but this is about to change. It will encompass the entire world, and this will happen soon. Again, Jesus will not come back until this happens. Joel wrote about this: Joel 2:28-32 NLT The Lord’s Promise of His Spirit 28 "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. 29 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. 30 And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible[b] day of the Lord arrives. 32 But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called. Another thing that God is doing is rebuilding his church which in most cases has become powerless. God is removing the lukewarm from the body. You will see those people leave. Paul talks about this with Timothy: 1 Timothy 4:1 NLT Warnings against False Teachers Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. 2 Timothy 4:3 NLT 3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. After the great outpouring Jesus will get his church that loves him. Jesus will not return until he gets his church in order. This modified church will create real problems for the devil. The last thing I noticed that Donald trump was put here for a reason, and he is going to serve two terms based on what God's prophets say. If Jesus would come today, he would have to leave Donald Trump behind to finish the job. President Trump loves Jesus and he is going with us when Christ returns. Do not let anybody tell you should not start anything because Jesus is coming soon. God may have a dream for you. God even has his own dreams that he wants us to help him to fulfill. Do not let his return sidetrack you from what our King wants us to do for him now. We need to be diligent because we are nearing the last days. Paul had more to say to Timothy about this: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT The Dangers of the Last Days 3 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! 10/02/2024 John proves that Jesus is God in the flesh: John 14:9 NLT Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? John 14:11 NLT Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do. It also can be said that no man can murder God. Jesus physically laid his life down for us to shed his blood for the forgiveness of sins. There is no greater love then laying your life down for some else. With all the evil things happening why do people ask, "If God is a 'God of love' why does he let these things happen to people?" When Jesus ascended into heaven, he sent the Holy Spirit as a light to his church for the world to see. This light was given to the church to challenge the enemy just as Jesus did when he was tempted. As we indulge in the things of this world our light dims. The enemy likes to make it dim gradually so we do not notice it happening. The dimmer the light gets the less power we have against the enemy. Soon the light goes out and we are in total darkness. We are now powerless to fight the enemy and blame God for what has happened. Our lights are like the ten bridesmaids of whom five fell asleep as their lights began to go out. In our case when they went to get oil the enemy is allowed to do immensely evil things Luke 11:33-34 NLT Receiving the Light 33 “No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. 34 “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness. This is what happens when the world controls us: 2 Corinthians 6:14 NLT Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? This is one of the many things that we can do to extinguish our light. 1 John 2:9 NLT If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. A church is a place where men and women come together to worship and glorify the name of Jesus. Before anyone leaves, we should be encouraging one another to live for Jesus. These are things to become powerful against the enemy: Acts 9:31 NLT The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers. Romans 14:19 NLT So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up. 1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT Divisions in the Church I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. This can put the light out in the church quickly. Jude 1:4 NLT I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. We are required to get these people out before our light goes dark. 1 Corinthians 5:12 NLT It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. Let's all become the churches that were created in Acts when the Holy Spirit came. If we had the power they had, I guarantee that this world would be a different place today. Darkness would not have the power being demonstrated today. The light can still happen if we give full control of our lives over to Jesus. I believe that God is about to get his church in order to prepare for the greatest worldwide harvest ever. His prophets have said that it is coming quickly. How many people who have already died that would love to witness what is about to happen. Thank the Lord that he chose us to be here as witnesses for him. 09/26/2024 Our faith can be challenged from time to time. Hebrews talks about one remedy for those moments: Hebrews 10:23-25 NLT 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ will build your faith because you will understand that he will keep his promises, but we are not to stop there for ourselves. It is important that we challenge others and also help them build their faith. Paul even mentioned this in one of his letters: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. It is important that we know the Jesus we serve. We do not want to encourage anyone to do something that does not honor his name. Never forget this: John 15:5 NLT 5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. If the Holy Spirit does not touch the hearts of men, we could never reach them for God's Kingdom. If God does not call us to go into a ministry, it could lead to harm or death. God needs to precede everything we do, and his presence has to remain there, or everything will fall apart. We are just his messengers and sevants to his body. 09/21/2024 This was a quote made by a black man on TikTok If Jesus Christ would come to America in this day and this age with the purpose of sacrificing himself for our sins, which party do you think would kill him because his views did not align with their ways. When you can figure this out you will then know which party to vote for. Believe me he is not crazy. Just think what they are doing to President Trump who is not perfect. Imagine what they would do to Jesus Christ the author of perfection. Jesus would not be silent today either. They already are calling God's word hate speech and they are trying to edit those things out in the existing translations. It's good to have an old standby copy of the written word to check for these modifications if you go online. I love the power of online searches, and I will check time to time to make sure those sites stay honest.
