YOU ARE A SHIELD AROUND ME!

” But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.” Psalm 3:3-6

Shields are used for protection for something that is of value. Shields were once used in war in order to protect the warriors from being sliced apart by an oncoming sword. Shields are used to protect those who need protection from others who may be trying to harm them. Psalm 3: 3-6 shows us that we have a shield around us. We are considered to be of great value to our God in Heaven. Because of this we have the shield of faith that surrounds us and protects us. The Lord provides us with a barrier that guards us against spiritual attacks and schemes of the devil. In Ephesians 6: 16 Paul writes, “in addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Our shield of faith will guard us during our trials in the same way a battle shield would during a battle. When doubts arise and our beliefs are questioned, our faith in Christ will protect us. It allows us to stand firm and to know what we believe. The shield of faith also protects us when we are attacked by anxiety and fear. Our Lord provides us protection on all sides. He leaves nothing open or exposed to the enemy. Our responsibility is to believe. We are to believe in all of God’ promises and how he will use them in our lives. Our faith in his word is vital to our existence, because without it, the devil will beat us down. With every punch we are to stand firm with God’s scriptures at hand in order to present to the devil his loss and defeat in this large spiritual battle that is going on around us. Our Lord Jesus is our shield around us! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

WORSHIP AND SERVE HIM ONLY!

“The scriptures say, ‘you must worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’ ” Luke 4:8

It is very easy to take for granted our God in heaven. We read about Him in the bible, we hear about Him in church, and we study and learn about Him in bible studies. However, it is important that we do more that learn, read and hear about the Lord. We are to put our faith and our love for Him into action. We are to use his mercy and grace to show others who he is. We are to display his mighty powers in our own lives so that the lives of others have the opportunity to be changed. Our Lord deserves the totality of us, and not just a part of us. We must put Him first and not second in our lives. We must show and give him the respect, devotion, the love, the honor and the obedience he so richly deserves. It is important that we acknowledge and celebrate his power and his perfection with the greatest of gratitude. As we begin to better understand God’s holiness, we should worship Him in awe because his presence, his strength and his grace and mercy in our lives, are real. He never fails. He never leaves us without protection. He always hears us, helps us, and gives us understanding and wisdom. True worship of our God is when we love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, and put him first in the life we live in this world! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

ACTIONS FROM THE LIVING WORD OF GOD!

” But the Lord is in his Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked.” Psalm 11:4&5

The living word of God is just that, living. His word is what created the world and all of its contents. It is his word that sent Christ Jesus into this world so that you and I could live for eternity with Him. His word is the source of our faith, for scripture tells us that, “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17). His word is our source of salvation, our source of truth, and our source of freedom. His word is our source of Spiritual Food, for scripture tells us that, ” Man shall not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4). His word is our source of Spiritual Growth as we accept his word as not human words. His word is our source of victory over temptation. Without his word we are all sinners and are doomed to hell. However, with his word we are saved by his grace and mercy. His word is the source of happiness and blessedness. His word tells us that, “Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.” (Proverbs 8:34). His word is our source of guidance. It is by his word that we are driven by our faith and his truths. It is through his word that he becomes our source of comfort and encouragement. It is by his promises and his truths that our minds and spirits become alive with strong faith and belief. His mighty word is our source of healing. His scripture tells us, “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them written within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. (Proverbs 4:20-22) His word is the source of our assurances, our joy, our preparation for good works and so much more. God’s living and breathing word is just that, living and breathing. His truths are real, his healing is real, his promises never fail, and we are blessed to be a part of what he gives us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

THE GREAT SEPARATION!

” Come out from among them and be separate says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. ” 2 Corinthians 6:17

” I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18

” He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never ending fire.” Luke 3:17

It is very easy for us to set back and say to ourselves that our Lord will return someday but probably not today. It is easy to go about our daily routines without the fear of the Lord surrounding us. We have heard for years upon years that our Lord is going to return, and with each year flying by, it begins to seem as though His return will be after our lifetime. Our Lord has given us fair warning throughout his Mighty Word that we are to separate ourselves from the ways of the world. We are to be different. We are to repent of our sins and move forward in his light and not our own light. Sometimes we put too much focus on His return. We forget that no matter when he comes, we are going to meet Him upon our transfer from this life to life everlasting. It is while we are on this earth that the decisions we make and the way we live will help to determine our fate. You see, he is getting ready to separate the chaff from the wheat. We are going to be a part of that process and I’m sure we want to be on the correct side of that separation. He tells us very plainly that we are to change our lives. We were all born into sin but after developing our personal relationship with Jesus we are to change. We are to become like our Father in heaven and not live our lives as worldly participants. As we continue to grow in Christ, we become closer to Him. Our relationship becomes one like father to son or father to daughter. We begin to realize that He came to this earth to show us and lead us in the way to life everlasting. There is no doubt that He is Lord. There is no doubt that He loves us and wants us to make the right decisions in our lives. He has given each of us a free will because wants each of us to come to Him with sincerity and not deception. He wants us to come into His ways with the desire to be with Him and not just because someone tells us to. It is up to you and me to make our own decisions. It is up to us to repent of our own sins and separate from the world. It is not easy but when you are having difficulties just turn your eyes to Jesus! He is always right there beside us! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

LIVE EACH DAY IN JESUS WITH THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

” Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7

As humans we sometimes become very anxious. We have a hard time waiting for things to happen. We have a tendency to want to do things our way and do it now. When this happens, we often find ourselves in situations that are hard to get out of. If we do as our Lord directs us, we will find that our situations turn out to benefit us and not hinder us. When we know what the bible tells us, and when we believe that it is true, honorable and just, we will benefit from its wisdom. Our bibles give us all of the information we need to survive in the world. It not only gives us information to survive but to also prosper in this life and the next. God’s Word gives us hope, peace of mind and the ability to overcome the most difficult situations we may face. It gives us strength, tells us what to do and what not to do, and it gives us the road map to a solid relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are shown how to live, how to speak and how to relate to those around us. However, it is up to you and me to put these instructions into action. It is up to us to not only hear the Word but to do what the Word tells us. It is important to know His ways, but they do us no good if we do not live them. In our relationships with Christ Jesus, we must develop a solid trust and faith in what he tells us. As we begin to trust in his ways, we should also begin to put our trust into practice. We must begin to listen to that little voice called the Holy Spirit and do as he leads us. We must dig down deep and be alert to his voice and his ways. By knowing Jesus, we are better able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and know without a doubt that his instructions are true. I can say without doubt that the inner voice of the Holy Spirit will always agree with the ways of Christ. They will never disagree! If we forget, it is always wise to fact check by going back into the Holy Word of God and find out what he says about our situation. We should at all times be praying before we make big decisions in our lives. Remember, if our God is for us then who can be against us? We must always stay close to Jesus and listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

PSALM 91

Most everyone who reads my blogs are familiar with Psalm 91. It is considered to be a Psalm of protection and of thanksgiving. Many read Psalm 91 in their times of trouble because it promises divine protection. It tells us that those who live under the protection of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty and be covered by God’s feathers. What a wonderful and peaceful promise. It gives us the calmness of our God in heaven and takes away the fear and anxiety our troubles can give us. It does not matter the size of our problems or the amount of fear that attacks us, our Almighty God promises his presence and his strength in our lives. To walk in his shadow allows us to understand that he is right beside us. When covered by his feathers we are protected from the elements the world throws at us.

Psalm 91 also provides a message of confidence in God, even when times are not good. It tells us that we should let our faith in God be the lens through which we view the world, rather than letting the world tell us how we are to determine our ways and thoughts. When we begin to look at things through God’s eyes we see things in a completely different light. We see things with more clarity and understanding. We begin to gain confidence that our Lord God will never leave us nor forsake us, but instead, he will always understand our desires, fears, troubles and doubts in life. We understand that he will lift us high above the things of this world and help us to realize that his protection is not only dependable but is fearless and unbeatable. I highly recommend that everyone take time to read Psalm 91 if you haven’t already. I would also encourage you to read the Psalm daily so that you may be refreshed with His Spirit and His very existence, which in return will help to guide you through your busy day. The promises of Psalm 91 are the magnificent work by our God who has rolled all of these promises up in a nice bundle for each of us to be take advantage of. Let us not miss our opportunity! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

STAY PREPARED-LIVE THROUGH JESUS!

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:20

Jesus Christ, a spiritual being, entered this world as a human being in order to lead a life reflective of all humans upon this earth. The difference is that he was made perfect in the eyes of his Father in Heaven. He was and still is the one and only Son of God. He walked in the footsteps that you and I walk in and overcame every obstacle thrown his way. He defeated sin for all time with is death upon that cross. We are also to live solid and reflective lives by living through Him. You see, you and I are not made perfect in God. We are humans who make mistakes in life, we stumble on things set before us and we are unable to overcome the evil of the world. However, our Lord tells us that we can be overcomers! We can survive in this world and be strong. With a strong faith in the ways of our Jesus we are overcomers. We are able to walk one step at a time and be prepared for the things set before us. We are to live our lives in the realm of God’s redemptive love and power. We are to choose to live our lives for Him instead of ourselves. We are to die to sin and not consider sinning against our God a viable option in our lives. We are to imitate the way Christ lived and reflect his thoughts, actions and words. We are to let go of our own plans and surrender our lives to Jesus for his control and to live our life by his plan. We are to love others and live with a servant’s attitude. Galatians 2:20 tells us: “I have been crucified with Christ; therefore, I no longer live, but Jesus Christ now lives inside of me.” We change when Jesus comes into our lives. Our attitudes, our thoughts and our words become tame and begin to build others up and not tear them down. We should reflect back on how Jesus lived his life on this earth and do our best imitation of his ways, thoughts and deeds. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

BELIEVE AND BE BLESSED!

” For the Mighty One is holy and he has done great things for me.” Luke 1:49

” He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.” Luke 1:50

” The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.” Psalm 9:9

Our Lord is very explicit in his teachings, his promises and his mighty strength and love. He is very complete in his ways and his words. He explains in the scriptures above that he is holy, shows mercy to all, and has and will continue, from one generation to another, to show that he is gracious, and he is our shelter in times of trouble. He is all of these things and more if we just believe. If we just obtain and hold onto a confident conviction to believe in who he is and what he does for us he will always be there for us. If we believe without doubt, he will stand by our side and lift us up in safety. If we just believe with a conviction in his love, strength and wisdom, we will never be alone. If we just believe with all of our heart and trust him to fulfill all of the promises he has given us, he will deliver, and we will be saved. To totally experience our Lord on this earth and in our lives today, we must commit our lives to Jesus! We must enter into a personal relationship with him where he is our “go to” when we face difficulties. He is the first we think of when we are in turmoil or indecision. He must be our life. This world must become secondary in the way we think, the way we act and the way we speak. We must recognize and totally believe that he is our source of true life. Our faith must be strong, stay strong and never waver. He is our Lord, our Savior and our loving helper in times of trouble. We must believe and allow his blessings to flow over us with love, grace and mercy. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

I WILL!

” When they call on me, I WILL answer; I WILL be with them in trouble. I WILL rescue and honor them. I WILL reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:15-16

Our God in heaven is not a maybe God. He is never hesitant or doubtful in anything he does or says. He never says, “I think I can” or “maybe I will”, but instead he is truthful and honest in everything. You and I must also be “I Will” kind of followers. We must not doubt what our Lord tells us. We must never fear things around us, but instead believe without doubt that our God is faithful in his “I Will” promises. We must never think that our Lord has forgotten us. Our Lord God in never late. He is always right on time. Everything he provides is orderly and with a plan. He is justified in all he does and never without reason. He has a purpose, and you and I must succumb to his purpose, his ways, thoughts and actions. If we fail to believe then we will fall to the ways of this world and fear every evil that confronts us. We will run away from those around us and never be able to spread God’s Word as he desires for us to do. There is only one way, and that way is Jesus! Belief in Him comes with a side order of faith, trust, understanding and knowledge. We are never again fearful because we know that He is faithful. We are never again lost, in our own little world, because we know that the Holy Spirit is leading us. Our God is an “I Will” God! What he promises he fulfills. His “I Will” spirit will overcome us and allow us to live lives of strength, power and trust! We must believe that we receive because God is our source. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT REIGN!

” Peter replied, ‘Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, and to your children, and even the Gentiles – all who have been called by the Lord our God.’ ” Acts 2:38-39

When Jesus was crucified, there was turmoil among those who were his followers. However, when Peter spoke to the crowd, he did so with confidence and with the knowledge of what was to come. He had sold out to Jesus. He revealed to those listening that they were to repent of their sins and go to God to be forgiven. Once they were dedicated to God, they would then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Just what did this Holy Spirit do for them and what will it do for us today?

1.) The Holy Spirit’s work is to make Jesus real to his people and for them to glorify him. The Holy Spirit will give spiritual gifts to believers, such as prophecy, healing, discernment, teaching, encouragement, giving, leadership, and mercy, all of which are naturally empowered talents and abilities. There are many today who do not believe in these gifts, however, they are real. Our God does not lie and does not fail. His word and promises are given to us to receive and be faithful in what we say and hear;

2.) The Holy Spirit offers to us counsel, advice, and guidance. By following the Holy Spirit, we will become more like Jesus;

3.) The Holy Spirit gives us power to do more, achieve more and be purer in Jesus. This power is reflected in many ways such as boldness to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be strong when talking about him to others;

4.) The Holy Spirit can open our eyes to things that we might not otherwise notice. He will also convict us of our sins, assure us of salvation, and transform us into the person our God in heaven wants us to be.

The Holy Spirit is a gift from God who will help us to live upon this earth with much more strength, understanding and wisdom. He is our source of wealth, peace of mind and love. It is so important that we do not neglect the power and the purpose of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is to us as Jesus was to those who walked with Him on this earth. He is with us, walks beside us and lives in us. We must allow him to reign in our lives. We must not try to override God and simply not listen and not obey the direction of the Holy Spirit. He is real, he is loving, he is caring, and he is God! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

THERE ARE NO LIMITS, JUST THE CORRECT TIMING!

” For my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time.” Luke 1:20

There are no limits with Christ Jesus. He has been given full rein throughout the endless creation of our God in heaven. He has come to this earth in a human body and walked the walk for you and me. He died a horrible death on the cross so that you and I would not have to. He went to hell and back for you and me. He returned and went into heaven to set at the right hand of God the Father so that he could represent you and me in the presence of our God. There are no limits when we believe and receive the promises that God has given us. With faith we are able to overcome the doubts that are hurled at us from every direction. With faith we are able to overcome sickness and disease by using the name of Jesus. By faith we are able overcome sadness because we trust in our Lord and know that his ways are honest, truthful and with a purpose. It is with faith that we are able to overcome the lies, deceit and the evil displayed before us. There are no limits in what we are able to do with the Lord Jesus by our side. There are no limits when we listen and obey the Holy Spirit who lives within us. There are no limits put upon our prayers that go up to God on our behalf. In general, there are no limits when our Lord is allowed to work in our lives. The only limits that you and I experience are the ones we put on ourselves. We must be able to continue to focus and live in Jesus through thick and thin, through troubles and disasters. We must be able to focus on what is real and not what we are experiencing in the world. There are no limits in our God. There is only his time schedule. He hears all of our prayers and meets all of our needs, but he does so on his time schedule and not ours. You see, answers to our prayers may affect the lives of many around us or maybe even of those somewhere far away of whom we may not know. We must trust our Lord and be able to stand the test of His time and be patient, knowing that even in a time of silence He is active, he is working for us without limits!

IT IS TIME TO JOIN GOD’S ADMINISTRATION!

“Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.” Psalm 145:3

It is time for all of us to make the largest decision of our lives. It is time for us to decide who we are associated with and just who we are working for. As Christians we have chosen sides. We have decided that our God in heaven is real, mighty, truthful, and always faithful. We have chosen to be a part of the greatest leader of all time. He is our God in heaven. He is Jesus Christ in the flesh, and he is the Holy Spirit of God our Father. He is the triune God. He is the creator of the world, and he has a plan. As followers of Christ Jesus, we are being asked to fulfill a duty. We are asked to be a part of the greatest administration in the history of the world. We are, however, asked to be faithful to his ways and do what we are asked to do. We are to be representative of his ways and his thoughts and we must show these characteristics in the ways we live, the words we speak and the thoughts we think. We must listen carefully to what he instructs us to do and then be a doer of his word. We must read and meditate on his Holy Word and pray to him constantly. We must stay by his side and talk with him in times of crises and in times of joy. Even though we live in a world that is ruled by evil we are to live in the body of our God in heaven. We are a part of his team, and we must no longer just set on the sidelines and utter the words of being a follower, but we must now begin to be act upon what he tells us to do. We must not be afraid of what others think or what they say about us as we fulfill our duties. His Holy Word is for all time. It was not written for just those who lived thousands of years ago but it was written for you and me as well. If we do not rise up and live in the ways he instructs then we are aiding the enemy and not his cause. We are showing nothing and doing nothing that will influence those around us and others of this world who are watching and waiting. It is up for us to decide what we are going to do. Are we sitting and waiting for others to do our bidding? Or are we going to go out an preach and teach his Holy Word? If we do not do as the Father in Heaven asks of us, He will find others who will fulfill his request. Let us all stand up and be counted as one who is a faithful and a trustworthy servant. Let us be an active part of the administration of his ways, thoughts and words! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

RECEIVE AND ACCEPT THE POWER!

” Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15

” But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

You and I have the greatest opportunity in all of the world. We have a grand relationship with the creator of the earth and all of its glory. Because of our relationship with the creator, we have been called to perform certain actions and to fulfill our duties as his messengers in the world. We have the responsibility to enter into the world as true followers and present his good news, the salvation of those who accept him as Lord and Savior, to all of the world. We are to walk through fire, wind and rain. We are to walk into the territory of the devil himself and preach the Holy Word of our God in heaven. We are not to fear what others think or fear what they might do to us. We are to focus on our God and what his rewards are to those who help Him to fulfill his message and complete his plan for this great creation called earth. He understands that we cannot and are not capable of doing such things in our own earthly ways. We are not strong enough. We are not brave enough and we are not smart enough. He, however, has provided to us the power of the Holy Spirit to help us in all of our ways. We are to listen and do. We are to not look at those around us, but instead stay focused and talk about Jesus and his salvation message to others. We are to believe and receive the instructions given to us by the Holy Spirit. We must listen closely and not miss a word he says. When we listen to the Holy Spirit and use the powerful name of Jesus, fear, doubt, worry, sadness and all things of the evil world will flee from our presence. They will scatter when we use the power God gives us and will faint away without being seen again. We have a duty, a responsibility and a journey to complete. Our mission is to spread the word and live a life that shows his mighty power to those around us. With the creation of social media, we are each able to reach the ends of the earth with the powerful message that our God displayed in Jesus Christ himself. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

FROM SINNER TO WINNER!

“For surely, O Lord you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Psalm 6:12

“But you dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 20

As we travel through our journeys here on earth we go through ups and downs. We go through times that we wonder if we will ever be able to gather our senses and claim victory. We also go through times where we are on the top of the world. Everything looks good and we see nothing but success on the horizon. We look at ourselves with victory in our eyes and an attitude that nothing can knock us from our pedestal. In either case we are lost. We are defeated and we have no future. We were all born sinners and until we come to the feet of Jesus and ask him to live within us, we continue to act as sinners. However, when Jesus comes into our lives, we change. Our attitude toward life is different. We look at the world around us and see it for what it really is. We begin to look through lenses that are clearer and that give us a better understanding. Jude 20 is very clear when we are told to “build ourselves up in our most holy faith.” We are to do just that. We are to continue to surround ourselves with the things of our God in heaven. We are to learn and recite bible verses. We are to read and meditate in his mighty word. We are to pray in the Holy Spirit and become stronger in our thoughts and beliefs. We are to keep our focus on our Lord and constantly give him praise and glory for all of the things he does for us each day. As we stay surrounded in the loving arms of Jesus, we become winners and not sinners. Yes, we all sin, but with Jesus we become winners. We all sin and need forgiveness, and with our Lord we are given that precious promise. We must recognize our wrong, repent and ask Him for forgiveness. He never fails us! He wipes our sins away and never revisits them. We should do the same. As winners we should move forward with the strength of our Lord and with his attitude always dominating our life. From sinners to winners, we have found the way and should never stray. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

SUFFERING FOR JESUS!

“For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since we are going through the same struggles you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.” Philippians 1: 29-30

As true believers in Christ Jesus we are totally united in Him with our thoughts, our actions and the ways we perform our lives before others. As a result of going all in for Jesus we will experience things in this world that seem unfair and sometimes immoral. We are to plow through the problems we encounter and survive all of the rhetoric around us. We will be persecuted, experience rejection and loneliness that comes as a result of following in his ways. We may be glared at, lied about and even hurt physically for our belief in Him. However, we can rest assured, that by taking the way of Christ in these trials, is honorable and profitable and will lead us to victory in Jesus. As we stand in the midst of lies and damnation from the world around us, we are to stand firm and not waver. We are to pray and listen. We are to follow, with precision the Holy Spirit of God. We are to enter into the victory that Jesus bore for us on that cross. We are to look at the world from a whole new perspective. We are to see things from God’s eyes and not our own. We are to approach life in a whole different and faithful way. We are to be all in for Christ. We are not allowed to set on the fence, sometimes believing in his ways and sometimes not. It is all or nothing with Jesus. He gave his all on that cross for you and me and we are to do the same for Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

A MIRACLE FOR ALL!

“I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.” Psalm 91:14

“You must love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5

Miracles of God happen every day. They usually happen when we least expect them. Sometimes we are so busy concentrating on what our lives cannot produce that we fail to see what God is producing right in front of us. Miracles can be large and pronounced with grand fanfare or they can be simple and even be missed by those who are receiving them. This past weekend those of the world were witnesses to one of the most pronounced miracles of our time. No, it was not a parting of the Red Sea or manna falling from heaven. It was a simple movement that took place at just the right time and at just the right distance. Our former President did something that he nearly never does, he took his eyes away from the crowd and looked to his right. This movement saved his life. This was not just a coincidence; it was a miracle of God! It was our Lord in heaven participating in the lives of all of those who were watching. It was a miracle for all to see. It came unexpectedly. Unfortunately, the bullet did take the life of someone else who will live on in the memories of all of those who knew him and loved him. He will go down as a hero to all. This may not seem like a miracle to the family of the one taken but he was in God’s plan. He was a part of that miracle and that is how he should be remembered. The point is just because we are not praying for a miracle to happen in our lives, they may happen in our lives anyway and we should be ready to receive them. We should be ready to give thanks and praise where they are deserved. We live in a time where life on this earth is either driven by evil or by good. Those with faith must increase their faith, and those without belief must begin to believe. Jesus gave his life for you and me and he gave it so that we could live and be testimonies on his behalf. Sometimes being a testimony may cost us our life or come in the heavy cost of a lost relationship of someone we dearly love. We must be prepared for whatever the cost may be. Stay strong in your faith! Believe that you will receive! And never be so busy that you do not recognize the miracles going on around you. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS!

” You are a shield around me, O Lord.” Psalm 3:3

” As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.” 2 John: 6

Even though Jesus died for us we each have a free will and have the opportunity to follow what way we want to go. We are never forced to follow the ways of our Lord but are encouraged to live our lives in such a way that is significant in his ways and words. We have a choice as to follow the world or to follow Jesus. The command from the very beginning has been to walk in love. Just what does that mean? According to the bible, walking in love means to imitate God and acting like Christ Jesus. It is a way of life that involves loving others, maintaining a relationship with God, and growing into the image of Jesus. Ephesians 5:1-2 tells us again to walk in love. We are to be imitators of Jesus and just as He walked with a sacrificial, unconditional and selfless love, so are we to walk in this same way. The walk he is referring to is a behavior and a way of life. We should love others as God loves us, with patience and kindness. We should accept others as they are and forgive them while they develop in the way of Jesus. Walking in love will lead us into a spiritual growth that helps to command our lives. To walk in love is to desire more and more of Christ and to give ourselves to him completely. Yes, we have a choice as to the way we live our lives and how we control our own ways. However, choosing Jesus is the way to love others, develop solid relationships with them and allow for the opportunity to receive eternal life with God in heaven. We can and should control our lives with the assistance of our Savior Jesus! We should allow the Holy Spirit to guide our decisions and the words we choose to use. He loves us and we should love Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

IT IS TIME TO CALM THE WATERS WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

” We know we are children of God, and the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” 1 John 5:19

Terrible things happen in this world every day. There is turmoil sprouting up all around us. The devil himself is scared. He knows the truth and he is running around trying to make things as difficult as possible for those living in the world today. There are killings, tortures, persecutions and constant lies and spreading of confusion. Love of those around us is nearly non-existent. If we don’t agree with one another then we become enemies. It is a wild and untamed world we live in. As Christians we have our Lord God in heaven who has given us a tool that is unable to be disconnected or destroyed. He has given us prayer. He has provided us a conduit to him by Jesus himself. By using the name of Jesus, we are able to not only survive in a world of confusion, but we are able to overcome and win the battles. Yesterday our former President of this great United States of America had an attempt upon his life. He was within a fraction of an inch of being eliminated from this world. During this event at least one innocent person lost their life, and others were either injured physically or mentally. We are in the greatest spiritual battle of our lives. This battle is not Biden vs Trump. It is not the Democrats vs the Republicans. It is the devil vs our God in heaven. It is good vs evil. You and I as followers of Christ Jesus are to pray, and we are to pray often. We must pray earnestly and without doubt of being answered. we must pray with detail and with sincere love for one another. We are living in days when our Lord Jesus is about to return. The bible tells us that things will get worse and not better. We have the tool of prayer. We have been given the Holy Spirit to guide us. It is time that we take all of God’s gifts seriously and not just brush them off in times of turmoil. Pray is all that we can do. Our Lord is in control, and we must trust Him. This is His battle, and the war has already been won. His return is eminent and we as his children must be ready to receive him with lifted arms filled with praise and prayer. It does us no good to be down in the dumps or to be down in the mouth. We must keep our faith strong and look upward in prayer. The war has already been won and we will soon see our Lord coming in the clouds. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

OUR STURDY WALL!

“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:4-5

” Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Mark 14:38

” You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, not the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, not the plague that destroys at midday.” Psalm 91:5-6

We battle every day the things of the devil. We are attacked by disease and sickness, accidents with pain, sorrow, sadness and constant torment of what may happen in this world. We are tormented with persecution of our beliefs and with worry, doubt and fear. There is much talk in today’s world about our southern border and the wall that was built but discontinued. Our faith is much like that wall at our southern border here in the United States. As we are flooded with the things of evil every day our God has given us a great wall that will keep us safe. The problem is that we sometimes put on hold the wall he is building for us. We step aside, thinking that we can take care of our own problems. We forget to take our problems to God in prayer. We forget to rely on our faith in Jesus and the many promises our Lord has provided for us. When we step aside, we allow evil to enter our lives. This evil must be dealt with. But without thought or prayer we struggle through these battles by ourselves. The result is pain and suffering. The Lord never promised us that we would be free of pain and suffering, but he has given us the ability to get through these things with power and not weakness. Our faith is our wall. It must continue to be built and must never be put on hold. With faith we are able to overcome all things. With faith we are able to stand within the fires and come out without a burn. We are able to be thrown in with the hungry lions and not be harmed. It is our wall of faith that must continue to get stronger and stronger. As it continues to grow our resistance to the evil of this world becomes stronger and we become overcomers. Keep the wall of faith growing and the worries and fears are lessened and will eventually flee. Jesus is Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

PERFECT LOVE TURNS AWAY FEAR!

” There is no fear in love/ But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The man who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18

God is love! Love is a fundamental characteristic of who our God is. Everything that he does is impelled and influenced by his love. If we are not living in the love of Christ Jesus, then we are spiritually living in the fear of the punishment of being condemned on judgement day. When we accept Jesus, and truly believe in him and his total love for us, the fear of condemnation is driven out of our lives. We know the love of our Lord. We know his forgiveness and his gentle hand that he uses in correcting our every step. Our fear of the upcoming judgement vanishes when we understand without a doubt that Jesus is our Lord and our Savior. Through Jesus we have been reconciled to God. We must understand that God’s judgement fell on Jesus at the cross so that you and I could be spared. Jesus’s sacrifice satisfied God’s justice and won his good favor. Jesus did not come into the world to condemn but to save the world. Our God has not given us a spirit of fear but one of love and a sound mind. The only way to overcome any fear that comes our direction is by total and complete trust in God. There is no other way. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

ANYTIME I KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO, I WILL CAST MY CONFUSION UPON YOU!

“Cast all of your care upon Jesus as He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

The spirit of confusion is a weapon of the enemy. The devil will unleash demonic activity through mental, emotional or physical confusion in order to be able to control and attack our minds. We have all been confused about one thing or another. We know that there are times that we can be overwhelmed with thoughts of confusion. We may not know what way to turn. We may not know what to say or who to believe. Confusion is a deadly tool used to influence each of us in ways that we have no control over. Confusion creates disorder in our lives, and we lose all sense of reality because we don’t know what to do or think. There is only one way that we are able to deal with this dishonest mechanism and that is by trusting in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The devil is the author of confusion, but our Lord is the author of peace of mind, love and understanding. Without surrounding ourselves with the ways of Jesus we don’t have a chance. Without the Lord we allow our ways to be surrounded with evil and destruction. We allow our minds to be littered with the ways of the world. Without Jesus we are unable to overcome the overwhelming ways of confusion and the devil himself. However, we can be and should be overcomers! We must read and meditate on God’s Holy Word- make time each day to read what God says about us and how we are to live and believe. We must trust God in prayer and commit our situation to Him. It is important that we find others who believe in the Lord and that we pray together and fellowship in truth and honesty. If we surround ourselves with doubt, worry and fear each day, then our lives will reflect to others the doubt, worry and fear we are wallowing in. But if we surround ourselves with God’s holy word, along with those who support and confess his ways and thoughts, then we will build our faith and live lives that are above what confusion and dishonesty will bring. The Lord has provided us with help. He has provided those who are around us who will support us with prayer and Godly advice. We must, however, seek them out and allow them to be involved in our lives. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

KEEP WATCH!

“Therefore, keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back- whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: WATCH! Mark 13:35-37

This message in Mark 13 has been spread throughout the centuries. It is a message that warns all of us of a time that will happen without doubt. It is something that will happen at the direction of God in heaven. He is the only one who knows the time and the day. He is in total control and has a time chosen that is just right and will come when you and I least expect it. However, he has given us signs to see and to follow letting us know that the time is near. He gives us fair warning and tells us clearly to keep watch. We are to stay on guard and never let down. We are to live each day knowing that any moment He could return. We are living in a day and age where he has described, without fault, the events that will happen that will bring upon this earth the greatest revival of all time, His return. Every eye shall see, and every ear shall hear as I Lord is returned to His great glory and strength! I don’t know about you, but I do know that I want to be a healthy part of that revival. I want to be prepared and not left behind. There is not a person alive who knows when they will go to meet with the Lord, whether though death or through the rapture of his saints. So, we should be prepared at all times. Young and old, black and white, brown, yellow or red, it makes no difference. We will answer to our Lord. We must be prepared and not be foolish in ways that will hold us back. We must keep our eyes focused on above and not on things around us. We must stay alert and not allow for distractions in our lives. We have a great God in heaven! He loves us and will soon have us surrounding him in heaven above. Are you prepared? Are you alert? Are you ready for the greatest spiritual reawakening that has ever been experienced? If not, this is the time. The time is short, and our Lord is returning soon. PRAISE THE LOERD IN ALL THINGS!

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING!

“And the fire on the alter shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out.” Leviticus 6:12

The fire burning for Jesus in our life needs to be continually stoked and stirred up. The fire must never be allowed to go out. As we continue to stir the fire, that keeps us alive in Christ, we must be able to stay focused on what our mission is. We are on this earth to be able to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are here to make the flames of his name rise higher and higher. Our mission is to make sure that he is not forgotten, because if he is, it spells disaster. We cannot survive in this world without him. Our God in heaven is the creator and the controller. He is the almighty and the only one who has charge of the ending. As we keep the fire hot, we must seek to move closer to him each day on a personal level. We must not just know about him, but we must know him! We must stay in constant prayer with him and not just when we need something. We should take time during the day to stop what we are doing and be grateful to him for what he has done and will do for us. We are to praise and glorify him in all situations. We are to engage in his word. This is more than just reading it. This is to take his word and make it our lives. It must be real to us, and we must begin to depend upon it rather than focusing on the world and depending upon others. We must exercise our faith and not just talk about it. We must be faithful as He is faithful. We are to try our best to live our life as Jesus lived his so that others will have the same opportunity to accept Jesus and be saved. We must stay on fire for Jesus! There is no other solution. If we decide to do things our way, live our life as the world lives its way then we are in for a rude awakening. We are in for very hard times and situations that we will never recover from. Jesus is the way, the life, and the truth! Let the fire burn higher and higher! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

FEAR, THE DANGEROUS ONE!

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18

” I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.” Psalm 91:14

If allowed fear will dominate or lives. It will overcome and overtake how we live, the way we speak and hinder our thoughts and desires. Just what is fear and how do we overcome it? We must realize and understand that fear is the absence of love, and that faith is the highest form of love. When our lives are overcome with fear we are lacking in our faith. We are not giving ourselves to the Lord and allowing him to direct us and protect us. If our faith is not where it needs to be, we are living in dangerous territory. Fear can and will destroy us. There is no escape from it as long as you and I are trying to overcome it by ourselves. We need help and that help comes from our relationship with Jesus and the faith and love we have in him. Fear involves punishment and those of us who fear are not perfected in our love. We have not allowed God’s love to reach its full effect in our lives. The ultimate fear or punishment is separation from God. When we become separated from God fear begins to take over. Worry sets in and we walk around fearful of everything around us. When our faith becomes strong, and our love for Christ Jesus is perfected, then we will be rid of worry and fear. Let us look at it this way. The devil tries to duplicate Jesus in ways opposite of Jesus. Everything he does is the direct opposite. There is good and evil, love and hate, faith and fear. When we separate ourselves from our Lord God in heaven, we are allowing ourselves to listen and follow the ways of the one who created the opposite of Him. We must increase our faith on a daily basis. We must pursue trust in Jesus and live our lives in spiritual faith. We must never let down. The devil is lurking and waiting for us to step away and then will sneak in with his fear and worry. God loves us! He has given us all tools to overcome the devil and his tools of fear. We must, however, never disconnect! We must stay plugged into our source for strength, knowledge, faith and love! We must stay connected to Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

THE REFLECTION FROM OUR HEART!

” As a face is reflected in water; so, the heart reflects the real person.” Proverbs 27:19

It is one thing to claim to be a Christian but it a totally different thing to live as a Christian. When we look into a mirror, we see a reflection of ourselves. We can see a smile, a frown, or any other expression we may want to put on our face. What we don’t see is what we feel on the inside. It is easy to try to fool those around us with expressions of love and peace. But what is going on with our heart? How are we really living our lives? People read us like they read a book. They look not only at how we look but they look at how we live. Our lives are reflecting what we believe and how we are reacting to what we believe. With Jesus as our Lord and Savior our lives will display a calmness and a peace that will spread to the lives of those we come in contact with. Those around us will not only see what we are showing them, but they will feel the love that Jesus radiates through us. With Jesus we are able to get through our struggles without doubt, worry or fear of the unknown. We are able to say what we believe and live that belief because we have the peace of the Lord residing within us. The Holy Spirit is ruling in our hearts and is controlling our tongues and what we say and how we react to the things around us. What we allow in our hearts reflects the real person. If we have not accepted Jesus or we are not living the life that Jesus wants for us, then our hearts will eventually reflect that image to others. It is important to stay strong in the Word of God. We must read and meditate every day. We must continue to pray and communicate with our Lord every day. We must believe and receive. When we do these things, we will begin reflecting things from within that are joyful and life changing from the Lord and our testimony to others will become true and satisfying.

OUR GOD IS ABSOLUTE!

“For it is written,’ As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God’.” Romans 14:11

He is the only God, the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords. He alone can overcome death; He has all power and dominion forever. No one can rule Him.” 1 Timothy 6: 15-16

As people throughout time have searched for the God of this earth, we as Christians have found the absolute God. The God’s of this world have no power. They will rot with time. They will fade away with thoughts of other Gods who may be greater than they. Our God, however, is absolute. He is complete, perfect, free from limitations, free from restrictions and exceptions. He has unlimited authority and is our absolute ruler. He is eternal and the creator of all. He has no selfishness, wickedness or sin. He is omnipresent and never leaves our side. He has lasted the test of time by prophetic witnesses and by living up to every promise he has given. He is love, he is strength, he is knowledge, he is moral, and he is our total life. He lives beside us, in us, and through us. He tells us that one day every eye shall see, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. That day is approaching. It is so important that the message of our absolute and loving God is spread throughout the world. With the advent of social media this has been made much more possible. The time is coming! The time is short! Our Lord is returning soon! We as Christians have access to him today through prayer, faith and living his holy word. He is our one and only God. He is absolute! There is no other!

BE ALERT & STAY WISE!

“But there will be false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you.” 2 Peter 2:1

“And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.” 2 Peter 2:2

The evil one never gives up. He has been given free rein in this world and he is running at a speed we have a hard time keeping ahead of. There is only one way to overcome the evil, the hypocrisy and the false teachings of the world around us, and that is to stay plugged into Christ Jesus and never unplug. We are living in such a time that the evil one is moving into our churches and other religious activities, disguising himself as one who is of God himself. He knows the word of God well, and because of this, he is able to make tweaks and minor changes along the way that will lead those who are unsure, or newly converted to the ways of Jesus, into confusion and down the wrong path. He will try to use the bible and God’s message against us. He is sleight of hand and able to make changes to our beliefs that go unnoticed until it is too late. You and I must stay strong in our faith, wise in our decisions and alert to God’s holy word. We must know God’s word frontwards and backwards. We must use the bible to check everything we hear and are told. If the words coming our direction are not lining up with the ways of Jesus and his commands, then we must run away from the evil being thrown our direction. We must understand that just because someone looks good, sounds good and stands upright does not mean that they are truthful and honest. The devil is not that evil looking cartoon character we so often see in cartoons. He is a professional schemer, liar, and smooth talker. We must be prepared. We have the tools at hand to stay wise of all of his tricks. God’s word is full of promises and commands that allow us to repel all evil the devil can throw our way. Let us all stay plugged into Jesus and stay strong in these last days. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

WHAT IS PERFECT LOVE?

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18

There are different kinds of love in this world. The word “love” is thrown around in many different contexts, and in many cases, becomes a normal part of our daily language. To be “perfect” you must be complete and mature. That is the meaning of perfect in 1 John 4:18. Our God is referring to a kind of love that is selfless and not overbearing. It is referred to as “agape” love which is a selfless, unconditional, and a universal love that is given freely and with no charge. When we begin to grow in our Lord, we begin to take on his characteristics. We begin to nurture his ways and not the ways going on around us. When we look at others and what they are going through we see them through different lenses and begin to have a sincere caring experience. Perfect love is said to be kind, patient, and does not retaliate. Perfect love does not cause retaliation but finds ways to extend kindness instead of vengeance. Perfect love is not thinking too highly of ourselves. It is servicing others and not tearing them down. Perfect love displays cheerfulness, kindness and patience in times of trouble. Perfect love comes from our holy God above and it becomes perfect when you and I reflect it back onto Him. We do this by showing his ways to those around us by applying sincere care and understanding and by displaying the love he has for us to others. To display this love in our lives we must have a sound and unwavering relationship with Christ. We must talk with him on a regular basis and be able to understand his ways and thoughts. When we do these things our love for others will become sincere and perfect by reflecting God’s ways into our own lives, letting his ways, and the love that comes with them to spill out onto others. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

TO LIVE WITHIN GOD’S BOUNDRIES!

” By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.” 2 Peter 1:3

” And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” 2 Peter 1: 4

” In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self- control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.” 2 Peter 1:5-7

To live within the boundaries of our God in heaven we must live our life on this earth with a different kind of attitude. We must be able to turn away from the evil that this world puts in our daily paths. Our Lord God has prepared us well. He has given us every tool in his bag to help us overcome the things of our daily lives. He has provided many promises throughout his word that you and I must learn and be able to stand upon. We must know his promises and be able to use them when we need them. We must become closer to Jesus than we are to the world. Our faith must be strong and not weak. It must have deep roots so as to stand the strong winds of the world. Our faith will become stronger when we add morals to our lives, knowing and expressing good from evil. Our faith becomes strong when we add the knowledge of what God has given us. We must stay within ourselves and be self-controlled in the worst of times. We must be patient and not overanxious when we depend upon our Lord. All of these supplements will help us to build and make our faith in Jesus even stronger than before. It takes a focus and a relationship with Jesus that is detailed with knowledge and with understanding that there is nothing we should fear with Jesus in our lives. We must put Jesus first! We must read his word, meditate on it, pray his promises, that are within it, and praise, glorify and give credit to him for his very existence. He loves us and we should love him with our very existence. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!

BE WISE AND BE STRONG!

” 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.” 1 Peter 5:8-9

In our world of today it is easy to become complacent in the way we live our lives. It is easy for us to become a part of the problem instead a part of the solution. We are to have great faith in our Lord Jesus and live our lives in a strong and faith loving way. However, we must have another belief. We must not be deceived by the devil and his cohorts. The devil himself would like nothing more than for us to believe that he is just a fairy tale character. The devil is real, and he is very active in today’s world. He and his demons are lurking at every corner looking for ways to deceive us. He will dress himself up to look good. He has learned the bible and knows the scriptures. He is an expert in turning the scriptures around and using them against us. If you and I are not deeply submersed in the world of God, we are subject to be deceived. We must be able to beat the devil at his own game. We must know what the bible says and be able to stand upon its promises and ways. We must be able to know whether someone is trying to confuse us or is confused themselves. We must train ourselves to go the bible consistently and check out the sayings and thoughts of others. We should have our tool, the bible, close at hand and know it without doubt. The devil is lurking and is desperate to trick us into his ways, his thoughts, his doubts and his fears. Our only tools to fight him are the best tools ever. It is prayer, praise and God’s Holy Word. Our faith must be strong and continue to grow in strength. Each day the devil grows stronger in his deception so each day we must grow stronger in our faith and in our efforts to use it against the devil. Be alert and continue to be strong for the devil is prowling around like a lion ready to devour those in his path. PRAISE THE LRD IN ALL THINGS!
