"Only Life Changes"

Father God, let this message touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
We go each day praying and doing what’s right, but one day someone out of the blue goes and disrespects you and treats you very unfairly, don’t worry Jesus was in that same situation and then some. Jesus was cast out, shunned, disrespected, scorned and attacked by the well to do and corrupt wealthy ruling class in power. Jesus, had been whipped, Jesus had to carry his own cross up the road to the hill of Calvary. At this point he was weak from blood loss and blinding pain from the scourging. Lots of people didn’t even survive the whipping, but Jesus still had work to accomplish. There were three crosses on Calvary on the day Jesus Christ was crucified. (“And when they had come to the place called Calvary [the Place of a Skull] there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.” Luke 23:33.) Jesus last time on the cross we see the submission of Jesus. Jesus “humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). Now with one last cry, he yields up his spirit to his Father, bows his head, breathes his last, and dies, in total submission he has committed himself body and spirit to God. The crowd mocked him, saying, “Save yourself, and come down from the cross!” (Read in these verse’s: Mark 15:30; Matthew 27:40–44: and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.; Luke 23:37–39: and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” ). So before Jesus died on a cross for our sins, He promised His friends that even though His body would be put to death, He would walk out of the grave three days later. Sure enough, three days after His death, a friend named Mary Magdalene, came to the place where Jesus had been buried. She was the first one to see Jesus risen. Jesus experienced the same kind of treatment on the cross and died for our sins and rose to show we have eternal life in Him.
Jesus knows those who are his. What is this knowledge? John 10:3:To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. This verse is a close parallel to John 10:27. It says, “The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.” So, when Jesus says, “I know them,” this means at least that he knows them by name; that is, he knows them individually and intimately.

2 Timothy 2:19: “Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. “We can be so grateful knowing God always welcomes us with open arms. We will always have us in His hearts, mind, leadership in His kingdom and always a seat at His table. God lets us know we matter, we belong, we matter, we belong. God will never leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that You have made Yourself known through the bible Scriptures, the indwelling Holy Spirit and the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I believe that the truths that I have read in Your Holy Word may be implanted so deeply within my soul, that nothing will shake me from the truth of Your Word that You have welcomed all Your church family from the beginning. We thank You and praise You for the new life in Jesus Christ. Thank You and praise You for Your promise to preserve and protect us throughout this life. Thank You and praise You that the day is coming when we will be glorified by spirit, soul and body in Your holy kingdom in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“For God has shut up all in disobedience, so that He may show mercy to all.” Romans 11:32

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today! I thank You and praise You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4

God’s acceptance is already ours in Jesus Christ.

John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This is why God loves us. God loves us because God is love, infinite and perfect love, greater than any love that we can imagine. Our human ability to love is finite and limited, and thus we have a tendency to put limitations on love itself. We think it makes sense to “earn” someone’s love or look for the reasons why another person loves us.

Romans 8:29: For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

I don’t know about anyone else, I am so blessed to be a child of God. That God would love me this much, more than anyone. His promises are truth. That is why I don’t promise nothing no more. His Promises a way far better than mine. Just saying.

Our service to God is a offering of thankfulness and praise. God has totally chosen us! We get to be apart of His creation and He influences His talents in us as His finished work.

When my children was small. They was learning how to talk and I listened patiently trying to make out what they was trying to say. I was so proud of them when they learned to roll over. I was really proud of them as I would practice holding them in my lap trying to get them to sit. When I thought they was safe enough I would put a pillow behind them to keep them from falling back as I guided them to stay sitting. I believe God is very proud of us as we learn and grow in Him.

{Let’s Pray}

Father God, I thank You and praise You that you choose me and everyone in the family of God before the world and even all who are searching and learning to come back to You. I thank You so much for Your love, forgiveness, protection and guidance. I believe and willingly submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in me, and believe that You would search every aspect of my life and rid me of every trait that does not reflect the awesomeness of Jesus, and thank You that You predestined this amazing transformation of my ugly character into Jesus’s glorious likeness. I love you, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

You are My servant, I have chosen you and not rejected you. Isaiah 41:9

Father God, Let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
When I took drawing and painting in college. We take a photo and try to copy it exact by drawing the portrait of any person. We did it in charcoal, colored pencils and paint. So I had several drawings. Any ways when it came to painting. I painted this picture. It was my last that was to be critiqued. Well I painted finished painting it the night before and it was dried. So I stayed up. I varnished it and knew it wouldn’t be dried by the morning so I put it in the freezer to dry. Hmm! Next morning I took it out of the freezer and the varnish was cracked all over like a mess. So I left it in the car until class. Then I went and got it out of the car and the cracks had settled down. But I was so upset that I was going to get a bad mark. Well we placed them on easels and then the teacher critiqued each one but also had us doing the same thing. I was so embarrassed by my painting. So Sue that was her name. She critiqued my painting. I told her I am sorry I didn’t have time to dry it so I stuck it in the freezer that is why it is cracked. So I thought my picture wasn’t cracked up like it wasn’t surpose to be. Well’ Sue looked at it critiqued it and I listened. I though I was going to get a failing mark. But she said that people pay good money for paintings that have a antique look and that the way I varnished and dried it in the freezer was the right way to make it look antique. I got a 98% on the painting. Who knew! So God can take our worse night mare and turn it out for HIs glory. Thing is I prayed that i would pass and then when I saw the painting when I took it out of the freezer I was sure I failed. God answered my prayer even when I showed Him doubt. He showed me He didn’t give up. I believe God loves us so much that He brings Heaven to earth when we pray, but then we wrap our mind in judgement and blame He shows us love, growth and change to believe in ourselves. Believe in our selves as Jesus walked this earth and was God in the flesh. Jesus went back to Heaven to leave space for grace and forgiveness on earth. We cannot come to a knowledge of Christ without first of all understanding the truth of who he is, and secondly, the truth of who we are. If do not know who Christ is, we will not value him. If we do not recognize who we are, we will not grasp the greatness of our need.

I found eight: “I AM” statements, as recorded in the gospel of John. Jesus’ reference to light was probably playing off of a ritual performed during the Feast of Booths, where lamps would be lit using wicks made from the robes of priests.

1) I Am the Bread of Life: Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:35

2) I Am the Light of the World: When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8:12

3) I Am the door or gate: “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. John 10:9

4) I Am the Good Shepherd: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. “John 10:11

5) I Am the resurrection, and the life: Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

6) I Am the way, the truth, and the life: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

7) I Am the true vine: “I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

John 15:1

8)”Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

John 8:58

In John 8 we read truths in Jesus situation. Jesus did three key things when he was faced with conflict in the Bible: He prayed to His Father and he stayed defined and connected. All Jesus enemies were frustrated and exasperated. They were unable to make Jesus look bad, and even more had believed on Him. When the three truths are grasped all together we see the glory of God in Christ Jesus, and we understand that he is the only answer to our enormous need. Jesus did three key things when he was faced with conflict in the Bible: These three steps we can do also in our everyday living, knowing who loves us unconditionally.
Let’s read John 8:21-30
Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.” This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” “Who are you?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.” They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” Even as he spoke, many believed in him.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, this is a impressive teaching, and it breaks my heart and my soul that there are many, like the proud Pharisees, who reject Your offer of salvation. It breaks my heart to know that there are still foolish and froward people, who like the leaders of the Jews, refuse to open their eyes and ears to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Soften the hearts of all men and women alike, so that they may recognize Jesus Christ as Savior, and place their trust in His sacrificial work at Calvary. I believe You will use me, to spread the good news to unsaved people, so that they may hear, know from their heart You answer their prayers and turn to You an believe and not die in their sins, but to be saved by grace and show them there is room to change and grow through faith in Jesus Christ, our God, our Savior and His freedom in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

The God of the unexpected works through our weaknesses, leads us to appreciate someone we previously disliked or distrusted, and surprises us with gifts from unexpected sources. What a joy it is to serve Him! I used to work for Margaret Powers and I would take out her trash. The silver trash cans with covers. Sometimes I would drop the cover and it would roll in the next yard. This lady would yell at me and I would apologize. Then it got so when she would see me she would just yell at me for nothing and Margaret Powers told me to just ignore her. So I did. Then one day that lady was sick and she called me over. I didn’t know if I should walk in her yard or talk to her. So I ignored her and went in The hallway of Margaret’s and rung her bell. Margret rung the bell and let me in. Then Margaret said Susan can you go next door to Carol’s and go to the store for her. I was like who is Carol? Margret said the lady I told you to ignore. Margret told me she was sick and she had called her and asked her if I could go to the store for her. So I did. So as I got to know Miss Carol I found out she wasn’t as mean as she made her self to be. In fact I found out she worked with my mom in a shoe shop. My mom was happy she was able to visit Miss Carol also. God works in mysterious ways. We are so blessed to know God’s goodness through or lives. Hosea 11:1-7 Proves God’s love to us. God’s discipline is as much a sign of His love as any of His mercy actions. When Israel were weak and helpless as children, foolish and froward as children, then God loved them; he bore them as the nurse does the sucking child, nourished them, and suffered their manners. All who are grown up, ought often to reflect upon the goodness of God to them in their childhood. Loving parental discipline is the key to understanding God’s actions and guidelines to sinful mankind, who are in the process of destroying themselves in the freedom and knowledge of the tree of good and evil.

Let’s read Hosea 11:1-7: When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the amazing story of Hosea, all though I only shared a few verses I hope who ever reads this will continue reading this chapter. Thank You for the Judah’s example of ruling with You Lord, in everything and being faithful to all the saints. Whose life became such a beautiful picture of Your love for Israel and such a wonderful comfort for all Your children. I thank You and praise You that You are a faithful God, and that in Your mercy You have done all that is necessary for me to be forgiven of my sins, past, present and future through Jesus Christ. I thank You and praise You that by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, I am eternally Yours. I thank You and praise You that nothing can separate us from Your love, and that no one can pluck us out of Your hands. Let my calling be a light that never ever goes out. Keep me faithful and humble in You. I Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

Proverbs 3:12

Father God, let what I type today touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
We were taught growing up to help those less fortunate. I went to the store for the elderly and did housework for them and shovel snow and raked leaves and went to the laundry mat and did their laundry. I would help them if they had been in the hospital, and they came home. I would go over after school and help their nurse and then go to the store for the other lady’s. We were taught to help others Church family was taught to help others. I would visit the nursing homes back east because we knew all the people it was a small town of Haverhill Massachusetts. This is how you keep a church running. Everyone contributing their time talents and treasures to expand and give to a hurting world. It is not the size of the building but the size of the giving that builds the church. One person cannot run a church. Just as it doesn’t take one person to run a home. It takes everyone working together.
{Jesus looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Luke 21:1-4}
So, Jesus observed a poor widow putting two small coins into the offering box at the temple. At the same time there are many rich people coming to place their gifts in the box as well.
I Love this quote: “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” “A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”
“Life is a boomerang. What you give, you get.” Anonymous
This one is so true: “Don’t expect to receive if you’re not willing to give.”
I know me and my husband Walter have been friends together 27 years. Each year we save our change for Christmas in a water jug. We take the time to roll all the coins and take to the Credit Union to get the cash for the change. So, each year we start from scratch and by a month before Christmas we have well over $100.00 or more of change. So, every little bit helps us. It is the same thing with church and has been all my life. We used to fill up dime, quarter and Nickle cards and turn them into church. Give your biggest gift at Christmas to Jesus. This all helps with the church, ministries and missions. My children did the same thing. They would fill up little houses. They would also I have had times in my life when I couldn’t give but the church helped me out with my children. It all works out. Learning about Jesus is not a hard job. It is good to do what is right and be the best you can in all situations. We can all give something.
This one is so true: “Don’t expect to receive if you’re not willing to give.” Unknown
You know the gospel is for lost people who have very little or no knowledge of Jesus. We are all in need of a savior. Come as you are my pastor used to say at First Baptist Church. Come as you are. Someone new would come through the door, he would be at the pulpit he would stop just to tell that person Come in and sit. You are welcome here. I heard him good being up on the stage on the second floor in the choir. LO! The condition of a person who is lost, won’t know unless someone guides them. Amen! The gospel is from God and God will find you and guide you because you are a child of God, He will use His children to love on you and care for you as a brother or a sister in Christ.
“Let’s Pray”
Father God thank You for leading me this far. Thank You for seeking me, saving me from my sins and protect me as I walk with You. Lead me on righteousness and Your light. Assist me to make my life a song of praise and worship to You. Thank You for Your church that completes unity, truth, assisting each other praying together for all Your honor. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

I don’t know about you, but when I see a light outside at night come on because it is a sensor light. I am very Leary. So, for the past week I noticed about 9: o’clock the light in the store area comes on. So, I just assumed it was the cars coming by so close. Hmm. Well, this one night, the light went on and I see it on my security camera, but I didn’t get what made it come on because there were no vehicles going by. So, I continued to do my work on the computer. The light went out. Ok cool! Then it came back on. So, I watched intensely and seen this big racoon leave the store area by climbing the fence and the racoon proceeded to my neighbor’s house over the fence and in his yard. I laughed so hard. So, I played it back and watched the racoon’s every move. How funny. I think the racoon is eating the strawberries off the ground. We have little ones in the front yard and back yard. Maybe the wild blackberry’s LOL!
It reads in 2 Corinthians 4:7-11: But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
I know by reading these verses. That when I bought mixed gladiolus the bulbs were shaped about the same. I prayed for a great growth of these gladiolus. I planted some in the ground, some in containers and some in clay pots that I had hand painted for valentines one year. All the clay pots I bought and painted. where the gladiolus that grew the best. I was so surprised at the outcome. They were beautiful. That is the way God loves us. He is always surprised the outcome and proud of His children who believe and bloom. I gave most of them away and some went to the nursing home to my elderly friends and some to the elderly friends that live in their own home still. What is good about bulbs are they multiply in the soil so you can dig them up and grow more the next year. Spread them out or just give them away and spread the love.
It reads 1 Timothy 2:8-15: I want men everywhere to pray with holy lifted hands up to God. Free from sin, anger and resentment. And the women should be the same way. quiet and sensible in manners and clothing. Christian women should be noticed for being kind and good, not for the way they fix their hair or because of their jewels or fancy clothes. Women should listen and learn quietly and humbly. I never let women teach men or lord it over them. Let them be silent in your church meetings. Why because God made Adam first, and afterwards He made Eve. And Adam was not fooled by Satan, but Eve was. and sinned as a result. So God sent pain and sorrow to women when their children are born, but God will save their souls if they trust Him, living quiet, good and loving lives.

Father God, I thank You and praise You for the wise instruction Paul has given to Timothy on the importance and effectiveness of prayer. Assist and give me wisdom to pray at all times and to intercede for all men and women in spirit, in truth and without ceasing. Assist and guide me to be alert to the rising prayer needs in my own life, others and people around the world. Lead and give me a heart to intercede for all men and women everywhere. For kings, princes, presidents and leaders, in both the political and spiritual realm. I thank You and praise You Lord, that You are a God who hears and answers the prayers of the righteous. Forgive us for falling short sometimes. Forgive the current, frenzied mindset of ‘women’s lib’ and ‘women’s rights’ which has caused complete confusion in many of our Churches and Christian communities. Forgive us for interpreting Your Word with liberal glasses, which consider biblical truth to be outdated and irrelevant or for teaching it with a legalistic mindset. Where women are either elevated into unbiblical roles within the church or prevented from engaging in any form of service to God and others. Lord Jesus open those men that think cynical about women instead of uniting through Christ’s function. Forgive those men who have no knowledge of what a woman is truly worth to You. I thank You and praise You that You know the value of Your children. I thank You and praise You that You determined an order in creation, in our homes, in the wider community, and within our church fellowships. May the people Who are called by Your name reject the world’s mindset and return to reading Your Word in spirit and in truth realizing we are Your treasure’s and You for fill all blessings, honor and power in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

The LORD announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty “throng def (of a crowd) fill or be present in (a place or area).”
Psalm 68:11

Our God leads. At the blast of the seventh trumpet, which[2960] will bring the glorious end, songs of praise resound in heaven which proclaim the fulfilment as having already occurred (Revelation 11:15-18). At the opening of the heavenly temple of God, the ark of the covenant therein is visible, and lightnings, and other signs, indicating the judgments belonging to the actual fulfilment of the mystery of God, occur.
Let’s Read: Revelation 11:15-18
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophet and your people who revere your name, both great and small, and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that You lead and guide all Your children in Your way.  You have told us the end from the beginning and that evil will one day be fully and finally put away for good. I thank You and praise You for sending Jesus to be the propitiation for our sins, rescuing us from eternal damnation, and clothing us in Jesus perfect righteousness, forgiveness and love. Thank You and praise You that sin, Satan, death, and hell, will one day be fully and finally thrown into the eternal lake of fire and Christ will put all things under His feet. I believe I will be a faithful witness in the position where You have placed me, lead me and continue to work the works You Lord have given me, during my journey on earth. I thank You and praise You for the indwelling Holy Spirit Who raised Jesus from the dead will empower us and that Jesus is greater that he that is in the world. I thank You and praise Your holy name, for all who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and have been made one in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

{Power Verse}
Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:12

It reads in (Matthew 24:23–28) So Jesus had been telling the disciples that He does not want His followers to be deceived about His return to earth. False prophets and false messiahs will claim that Jesus is back, possibly out of view somewhere. Jesus has said flatly that those claims will not even be worth investigating. No one on earth will have to wonder whether Christ has come back. It will be obvious that He has returned. (Matthew 24:29; Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”) (Mark 13:24; “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,”) The Moon rotates on its own axis at the same rate that it orbits around Earth. That means we always see the same side of the Moon from our position on Earth. The side we don’t see gets just as much light, so a more accurate name for that part of the Moon is the “far side.” When the moon is full On Earth, our view of the illuminated part of the Moon changes each night, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit, or path, around Earth. When we have a full view of the completely illuminated side of the Moon, that phase is known as a full moon. I love seeing the full moon at night. I really like the harvest moon. Harvest Moon is one such subject that we are not very aware. Generally, the Harvest Moon occurs in the month of September or October, but it is influenced by the arrangement of the lunar cycle with the Gregorian calendar. After sunset around any full moon, the moon will always be near the horizon. It’ll just have risen. It’s the location of the moon near the horizon that causes the Harvest Moon – or any full moon, to look big and orange in color. The orange color of a moon near the horizon is a true physical effect. Orange Moon. At full moon, the Moon is almost on the opposite site of the Earth to the Sun although not quite all lined up. That means that to get to the Moon, light from the Sun has to skim through our atmosphere. “Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord binds up the breach of his people and heals the stroke of their wound. Isaiah 30:26” There is so much more about the moon in the bible.
In Thessalonians 5:2-5 it reads the day of our Lord will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night. When people are saying, “All is well, everything is quiet and peaceful” then all of a sudden disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a womans birth pains when her child is born. And these people will not be able to get away anywhere. There will be no place to hide. But dear brothers and sisters, you are ot in the dark about these things and you won’t be surprised as by a thief when that day of the Lord comes. For you are all children of the light and of the day, and do not belong to darkness and night.
{Let’s pray}
Father God, The Moon You created is so beautiful. I like how it looks like Your moon has sunglasses on. Lo! I am believing that many would repent and turn to You Jesus by trusting that Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. I thank You and praise You that You are my God and Savior. I thank You and praise You for the grace You have shown to me and to all who trust in Christ for salvation. I thank You and praise You for Your faithfulness, even when I am faithless You stay faithful. I long to tune the ears of my heart. I thank You and praise You that You are always there to hold me steady when the enemy of my soul seeks to entrap me. More than anything I thank You for sending Jesus to be my Saviour and my Friend; my Way and my Life in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God, let this message touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Love this verse: Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

John 1:23
We pray, for ourselves and others; because we know it is God who holds the power. Prayer is our means of communication with God. It is the way we access His power and participate in His plans for this world. I know if I see an accident I immediately pray for healing of that situation and give it to God from my heart. Maybe we see someone who is on the highway that is holding a sign. We are close enough to help that person out and pray for them. What if we are not close to them? It reads in James 5:16 – Confess our faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Hebrews 12:13)
We should always pray from our heart for Jehovah Jireh or Jehovah Rapha (Healer) to help them. We the Church is not ultimately a building, but a body, a spiritual family of those who have professed faith in Christ for salvation and consequently been baptized, attesting to their identification with Christ and a local body of believers. Imagine everyone praying from their heart for that one person they come in contact with. Praying blessings over them and that person doesn’t know. God does. What I love seeing is God working in that person’s life. How powerful. To know everyone, I come in contact whether they are hurting, or maybe froward towards me, maybe needing assistance, maybe needing healing, or maybe just a listening ear. We can change the world one prayer at a time. I have asked people if I can pray for them. I have some turn prayer down because they don’t believe, or they think it is too personal. It is alright! Pray from your heart. God’s heart is more powerful than ours. I know because I am always praying for myself and others. Prayer is never to personal cause God knows all and sees all. I can honestly say I do not see all or hear all. Thank God. Just saying. We should: Pray for others from the heart, with deep feeling and sincerity. Pray for others regularly. Pray for others in detail. Pray for others with faith, knowing that God has all power and loves the people we are praying for. Pray for others with love. Pray for others fervently-with intensity, zeal, passion and righteously.
It reads in James 5:16 – Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. I know I said this verse a second time. I always have to remind myself. I am not perfect, and I fall short of the glory of God at times. Romans 3:23 I believe.
It reads in Matthew 5:44: But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
It reads in Galatians 6:2: Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.
It reads in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 41:9-10 Leave everything in God’s hands and eventually you’ll see God’s hand in everything. I have seen this truth work itself out over the years in past troubles, health challenges, my marriage, parenting teenagers, career transitions, relational issues and financial struggles. So, I get up each morning and spend time with The Lord Jesus and journal. I take time reading the past days journaling and see where God has worked in my life and others lives. I take the extra time during the day and evening. God even gets to hear me in between times. You think he would get tired. Lo! God never slumbers nor sleeps. He’s eternally alert. Think about that statement for a moment. God is always our able keeper, helper and protector. We are so blessed with a Father who always cares and loves us. Amen!

I like hearing this poem.

“I Said a Prayer for You Today”

I said a prayer for you today, And I know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart, Although He spoke no word.
I didn’t ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn’t mind.
I asked Him to send treasures, Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He’d be near you, At the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings, And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you, In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care, I prayed the most of all.

{Power Verse}
I love, because Jehovah heareth my voice, even my supplications: an unusual, but not impossible, form of expression for I love Jehovah, because he heareth. Psalm 116:1

In life we go through some trying times,
That seems like it is nearing the end.
Praying our life takes a turn for the better.
Moving forward we find giving to begin.
So, others who struggle we see,
Pray for beginning joy of God’s Day.
Full of blessings, laughter and sun rays.
Knowing God always leads our way.

Let’s Pray: Father God, let this message touch someone’s heart today. Give Your healing in every way I pray in Jesus Holy Precious Name Amen.
I know in the Fall I like to see all kind of rose’s, bulb flowers, like Daffodils, Lilly’s, Elephant ears, Hurricane flowers just in time for hurricane weather. But I pray we don’t have a hurricane. I love seeing the turtles sun bath on a cool day or watch the butterfly’s fly. I always try to capture the best pictures and hope for a better camera someday. Even though I have many and enjoy taking pictures with them all. I believe taking photo’s makes me feel closer to God’s creation. Especially when I enhance the pictures. Photos will never take the place of God’s source of comfort, strength or the everlasting life that He gives. Even when I feel alone, God always sure to let me know He will never leave. Let’s Read: Hebrews 10:32-39; But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith. But if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, keep others and I rooted in Your love. Regardless of if the winds may blow, or the rains my come and thunder on us Your lighting, Your protection is endless. I am believing for those who want to give up will read this prayer and realize their life is worth more than Gold, because You love us unconditionally as we believe. Guide us to never give up or ignore You. I know You will always remind us You are here. I thank You and praise You for the great salvation that is mine in Jesus Christ. Believing others will see Salvation is theirs also. I thank You and praise You that nothing can snatch others or myself from Your hand, and nothing can separate others or myself from Your love which is ours by faith in Jesus Christ. I believe that I and others may live a victorious life for the honor of Your name. When others spirit or my spirit fails, or I find myself under severe trials and temptations. May we lean on Your ever present, sufficient strength to come through victoriously. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
