• Freed From The Drama Of Emotions
    Nov 12 2024

    EMOTIONS are a natural part of the human experience that can be positive or negative, mild or intense, and can help one understand how to react to what you're experiencing.

    Emotions will do what we, in faith, order them to do. For example, when David prayed, he ordered his soul, the center of his emotions, to bless the LORD. He believed and by faith, took control of his feelings.

    Remember, by faith, we can speak to those things that try to overwhelm us. The core words are, 'by faith'.

    Blessings,

  • TO BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY
    Nov 7 2024

    Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man. Luke 21:36 Blessings,

  • Got It All Figured Out
    Nov 5 2024

    What is man that You are mindful of him? Or the son of man that You visited him. You have made him to be a little lower than the Angels, however, because they have figured out a few things.

    Man has gotten to the point where the more they know, the less they worship the Creator of all things. Men believe they got it all figured out. They seem not to remember that God created all things in "the heaven and the earth."

    The word "created" (Heb. bara') is used exclusively for an activity only God can do.

    Blessings,

  • EZEKIEL IS A WATCHMAN
    Nov 4 2024

    Ezekiel realized the seriousness of his calling and how great the responsibility God had placed on his shoulders was. Ezekiel 3:16—21.

    Ezekiel is the prophet of human responsibility. While some people blamed God for their sad plight, others blamed their ancestors, Ezekiel made it clear that each individual is held responsible and accountable before God (ch. 18).

    Personal responsibility is the key here for the watchman and the people.

  • YOUR QUIET TIME WITH THE LORD
    Oct 31 2024

    To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His Holy Hill. Sometimes we have to steal away, get into our quiet space, and have a one-on-one with The LORD.

    There we can tell Him all about our concerns and troubles. He will hear our faintest cry.

    God hears us when we pray and responds when we urgently call upon His Name. Selah.

    Blessings,

  • YOUR QUIET TIME (2)
    Oct 30 2024

    Our God understands our weaknesses. Jesus is our "High Priest," our Mediator with God who has full access to the Father, and He entirely understands our reality and what we are going through while here on earth.

    Jesus truly gets us! Because He alone knows all about us. There is no secret that He does not know. Find your quiet space and tell Him all about your troubles, and He will answer bye and bye.

    Trust in the LORD with all your heart.

    Blessings until next time.

  • YOUR QUIET TIME (1)
    Oct 29 2024

    What's stopping you from your quiet time with God? Nothing but yourself. Listen, you want to build upon a relationship with anyone, what do you do?

    First, you have to spend time with them, getting to know them, right? If you want to get to know God, wouldn't that mean spending time in prayer, reading your Bible, and studying His Word?

    Now, find that moment of the day in a quiet space and talk with your LORD, He is waiting on you.

    Until next time, enjoy the rest of your day!

    Blessings,

  • FALSE TEACHERS
    Oct 28 2024

    "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect." Mark 13:22

    Is it possible for Christians to be deceived? Yes, so convincing will be the arguments and proof from deceivers in the end times that it will be difficult not to fall away from Christ.

    Jesus says that if we are prepared, we can remain faithful. But if we are not prepared, we will turn away.

    Stay watchful, and prayerful.

    Blessings,
