Moses delayed
"And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him" (Exodus 32:1 KJV). As we, the believers, wait for the Lord's return for His Bride, the Rapture, many in the church have gotten hesitant in the waiting. Many have became lukewarm in their stand for Christ. The passions and lusts of this world have pulled in and trapped many souls. People have begun to look for other ways into heaven other than Jesus. What was once a total surrendered believer, is now one following his own heart's desires and the habits of the flesh. The children of Israel had experienced some very powerful moments with God, but that was not enough. All they ever knew in their lives was slavery and they were willing to go back into it, even after seeing God's mighty hand move. How quickly they forgot God and all He had done. "Make us gods, which shall go before us". Man has imitated the Lord with other "gods" for many years only to one day find out there is only One True God and no other. The only way through the wilderness of this world is with the guidance of the Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ. He already made a way for you and I. Give Him Praise. God Bless You All.

But Jesus said.
"But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat" (Matthew 14:16 KJV). God is our provider in and through it all. He knows exactly what we need and the very time we need it. He is never late nor early, but He is always on time. When the children of Israel walked through the wilderness, He was their provider. They didn't have a supermarket or rest stations with running water, no, God, Jehovah-jireh, provided. He gave them water that gushed out of the Rock and mana from heaven. When they they thought "it couldn't get any better then this", meat fell from the sky. God will always provide. Jesus fed five thousand men, besides the women and children, with five loaves of bread and two fish. "And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full" (Matthew 14:20 KJV). There were also some leftovers. God is in the work to give and take care of His children. We must also be willing to give back to Him, and all He asks for is our obedience, faith, and to trust in the Word of God. Ask God, "What can I do for you today? How can I provide and be of a help to Your Work? Give God Praise. God Bless You.

If a kingdom is divided.
"And if a kingdom is divided and rebelling against itself, that kingdom cannot stand" (Mark 3:24 AMP). We step out in faith today, and face a world that is in need of the glorious touch of God. Our faith in God above can change the way life comes and goes around us each day. There is so much anger and hate for one another in this world, and most of it starts at home. Fathers are against sons and daughters against mothers. The home is being attacked and torn in two. Here in America, divorce is a very common thing. The covenant between husband and wife has been thrown out of the window. Many do not take it serious and don't understand the importance of that covenant. Any more, people think it's all about shacking-up. Many times it is the kids that pay for the bad and selfish decisions that the parents make. Once the enemy gets a hold of the house, that house will be divided and will not stand. "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand" vs 25. The devil has many homes turned upside down. Members of the household are fighting and disrespecting one another, and kids are ruling and telling the parents what to do. Kids are raising kids because mom or dad are not around. We as believers have to pray for the homes across this world. Ask God to move upon all the homes in this world, to wake them up spiritually from their sleep, and to touch those who are crying out for help. Step out today in faith. God bless you all.

Risen with Christ
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. " (Colossians 3:1-3 KJV). Through the Cross of Jesus we are all free from the curses and our debts have been paid in full. How wonderful it is to be free, but how easy one can attach themselves to the ways and things of this world. One can attach themselves to this world through a job or career, relationships, education, or even family, to just name a few. You may ask what's wrong with these things? There's nothing wrong with having a good job, a great education, or any of the other, but we must seek those things which are above, where Christ sits, first. Too many take for granted the promises of God, and would rather fill themselves with the worldly ways. Set your affection (mind) on things above. This means we need to put more energy and time on seeking things from above and not only desire them. Many spend so much time and effort on reaching for their own wants and desires from the world, rather then the promises from God above. "Set your heart on things above, not on things on the earth". Praise God. God bless you all.

The Truth of God
"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name" (Romans 15:8,9 KJV). Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are all as one in the eyes of God. We as Gentiles are grafted in, not by our works or what we have done, but by "mercy" on the Lord's behalf. When we were all outsiders to the world, the Lord took us in. When we had no hope in this life and the road ahead of us was full of darkness, the Lord was our Light to help us through it all. So many times we fall short of the glory of God and He still has patience and love for us. How powerful is our God, our Creator, who takes His time in making you and I into someone beautiful. He's paved a way that leads us to eternity in heaven with Him. Jesus paid the price for our sins. How can we ever repay Him? Praising Him is a good start. God bless you all today.

Before His presence
Psalms 95:2 "Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms". We have an invitation to come to the Lord by faith. We are invited to come before His presence and give Him thanks for all He has done in our lives. How good it feels to know we are saved and redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. How beautiful the love He shows and His mercy He continues to bring forth when we are in times of need. Let us shout and sing with joy for He is good and ready to defend us from the enemy. He is always there to help us get up when we fall short. There are no words that can express the love and hope our Lord has for you and I. Give Him Praise before His presence with songs of thanksgiving. God Bless You.

Doth not Wisdom cry
"Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors" (Proverbs 8:1-3 KJV). The Word of God cries out in these last days to all who have an ear to hear. She stands in the high places trying to get the attention of the world. Most of the world has been preached to, and many have come to the Lord and now trust in Him as their Savior. Praise God. We, here in America, have channels on television that are dedicated to bringing forth the Word of God, and so many book stores that sell the Holy Bible and other inspiring books that point to the Bible. Yet, we are in great need of a Holy Ghost Revival. So many young and old people are lost and under bondage, while wisdom cries out and tries to get their attention. How bad times look. Wars and devastation are happening not only here in America, but all over this world. Wisdom cries and stands waiting in the paths that many walk every day. We need to Pray and read the Word of God even when we don't feel like it. We must be prepared for the Lord's Return for His Bride, you and I.

Why do you sleep?
"And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation." (Luke 22:46 AMP). We cannot afford to be caught sleeping, for in doing so we might just miss the greatest blessing of our lives. In this scripture, Jesus knew what was about to take place, and He knew it would take God's Will and strength , not His own, to see it done. However, His disciples were filled with grief and confused on the matters that were spoken to them by Jesus. So, they fell asleep while Jesus prayed in agony. Such is the church today; in many parts of the world they're asleep. Yet, we have a Mediator and One High Priest, who sits on the right hand of the Majestic God in heaven making intercession for you and I. Jesus is still at work making petition and intervening for us. He sure is worthy of our praise. Look at all the evil around us, and how the world is filled with the temptation that so easily seeks the flesh. It's time to pray, not that our will be done but God's Will in us and here on earth. Pray that none be led into temptation and found asleep spiritually among us. God Bless you all.

Thankful
"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 1:12-14 KJV). The Apostle Paul was thankful for Jesus Christ and the mercy and grace the Lord gave him abundantly. Even though he persecuted Christians, the Lord was still merciful. There is so much to be thankful for, not only today, but through the many years that have come and gone. I could be thankful for the material things I might have, but they only last for a season. Soon enough it will all perish and be gone. I am thankful for God, who gives us so much more and greater things than those that perish. He gives us eternal life in His kingdom forever and ever. I am so thankful for the time when the Lord came through the door and set me free. I am thankful for the many nights when He was there when I was in need. I am also thankful for my family who I will see saved one day soon, set free, and washed by the Blood of Jesus. There are so many things I am thankful for, moments that have changed my life forever. I'm so thankful for the times when the Lord walked in to my office and prayed with me, and the many altar calls when the Holy Spirit fell upon our youth group and the Power of God set them free. I am very thankful for every thing the Lord has done and is still doing around you and I. What are you thankful for this day?

Keep awake
"Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36 AMP). Keep awake, and don't fall asleep in the world of worldliness. Seek Christ Jesus with all of your heart, and pray for your loved ones like you have never prayed for them before. Christ's return is so close, and we must be ready. He can come any day now for His Church, His Bride. The signs of the end time are surely evident. We must be on watch at all times that our hearts do not get weighed down with the cares of this life. We mus also be careful that our spirit does not fall asleep and become relaxed with no fight. We must pray for strength to overcome the temptations that flood this world and for the ability to be accounted worthy. Our faith must be only in Christ Jesus and not in the governments of our countries. Stand today in His Love, ever waiting for His great return for His Children. Hold fast to your faith, and do not be moved, because it will get a little bumpy. God Bless You All.

I am the Door
"I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture."(John 10:9 AMP). The Lord is at the door knocking. Who will open the door of their hearts for the Lord to come in and dwell? He's looking for someone to grow with and teach how to be just like Him. He's looking for one who will follow Him and grow into a beautiful child of God, and one that will stand up and praise His Holy Name in this evil day. Jesus is the door, and all must walk through Him and with Him before they can go to heaven. However, there will be some that choose not to, and they will find themselves in a world of hurt and evil. The Lord came to save the sinner from the world, and the only way to be saved is by entering through Him, the door. You who have an ear, hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow Him through the door. Is He knocking on the door of your heart? Praise the Lord. God Bless You.

I know your works
"I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!" (Revelation 3:15, 16 AMP). The Lord points out the works of the church in Laodicea. This church has lost its fire, need, and dependence for the Holy One. So they have become dependent on their own works of the flesh, and they also glory in them. How far one can go from the One True God. Pride will kill a church or an individual. This Church, that is neither cold nor hot, makes God sick to His stomach. All that He gave for the freedom of His children, the hurt and pain that He carried to Calvary, His own blood poured out to wash every sinner clean and to bring them back to Eternal Life with our Savior, was taken for granted in this church. We have to fight in this last hour for our families and the rest of the churches in this world. Pray that they will long for the One True God. Ask the Holy Spirit to rekindle the fire you once knew, and that you would long it for once again. The Lord is at the door knocking and waiting for the church to let Him in. He is the only way, The Door, to the Father in Heaven. Glorify God in all that you do. Give Him Praise. God Bless You.

He health the broken in heart
"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3 KJV). A broken heart does not feel too good. It may feel as if the whole world came down upon it and crushed it. Many times we look to the world for a healing or someone to make it feel good again. As a result, we will try the old friends, a movie, drugs, or alcohol, only to find out it works for a little while, if at all. However, in reality the heart was never healed. The heart is a very sensitive organ, yet it's the strongest of all the organs in the human body. The heart never stops to take a break or rest, but it keeps on pumping blood to every part of the body. When the heart is broken, the whole body is affected by the hurt and pain. Jesus loves it when someone decides to turn to Him with a broken heart. He knows if He fixes the heart this person will never be the same. This person will see things a whole lot different, in a peaceful way. God is into the Heart healing business. He'll take that broken heart and make it alive with life. He will fill it with love, joy, hope, and His very presence. The Lord does not like to see His children hurt or ashamed in any way. He is here to help us not to harm us. Run to Him with all your heart, and let Him be your healer. Give God Praise. God Bless You.

Seek good, and not evil.
"Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph." (Amos 5:14, 15 KJV). All good things come from Heaven above, where the Father is seated. What good can come from the world that we live in? The world can only be good if one has no relationship with the Lord or is selfish and prideful. Look around and see how much evil has come into your city or town. The filth that fills the streets of America and other countries is growing. The poor are looked down upon, and the rich are honored. How evil the world has become. So many have exchanged the good for the evil, even in the House of God. Some will push away the hurt and bound, and not help them or speak the Word of God to them. So much hurt is in this world, and we have the answer. The problem is many in the church still have one foot in the evil and desire no full surrenderance. They might think they are fine. Seek what is good. Hate what is evil and seek the good. Help us stand for the good. Give God Praise. God Bless You.

The harvest truly is great
"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." (Luke 10:2 KJV). Are we ready for the coming of the Lord? Are we stamped and sealed for eternal salvation? Do we believe in Christ's return for His Bride? These are some questions that we should all be able to answer very easily. You would be surprised on how many youth (teens) have a hard time answering them. For, it is easy to say "I am saved", but not so easy to believe I will make it to Heaven. So much worldliness has grabbed the heart of this younger generation, and they cannot seem to make up their minds as to what they want. We as the Body of Christ need to grab them before the world does. It is a scary thought of where the church will be in 20-30 years from now if the Lord would tarry. The only answer to all of this and the only way we will see the youth come back to the Lord with a full heart is by our prayers. We need to pray and fast in these last days not only for our own households but for those who live next door. We have to see revival. We need a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this world. Prayer is the key to win the harvest, and the laborers need to be ready with the Love of the Lord to invite them in. Pray today for the Laborers among us and that many more will come forth. God Bless You.

The Lord will come.
"For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night" (1 Thessalonians 5:2 AMP). As a thief in the night, our Lord Jesus Christ will return. The Apostle Paul is saying here, that those who choose not to believe will be caught unaware. All of the sudden, in a twinkle of an eye, the world we live in will be changed forever. The Lord is coming back for His Church and the Body (church) will be taken out of this world. We shall be changed, our old nature, the corruptible, must put on the incorruptible. We will put on the glorified body with no more sin and no more death. We must be ready for this day of the Lord's return. Edify one another, encourage one another, and strengthen those around you. This is no time to get comfortable, but the time to cry out for the lost souls out there in the world. It's the time we should all be praying for our loved ones that are blind and bound to this world and the things of it. We should be crying out, "Repent for the day of the Lord's return is near!" Get ready and do not be caught unexpectedly. Praise God and God Bless You.

The Lord does not delay
"The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9 AMP). God has been so patient with us, while all the darkness has flooded the earth. He loves us all so much. He wants to make sure all humanity has made up their minds whom they will serve. He is waiting and watching desiring that none shall perish. God desires that none die under the rule of the darkness. He has hope that one day all will run back into His arms, seeking deliverance and God's will to set them free from their bondage and sin. From now and until then He will continue loving us and having mercy upon us. How good is our God! He desires that none perish, but all should turn to repentance. Give Him Praise. God Bless You.

The high walls
"NOW JERICHO [a fenced town with high walls] was tightly closed because of the Israelites; no one went out or came in. And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho, its king and mighty men of valor, into your hands." (Joshua 6:1, 2 AMP). God is a God that will give us anything He sees fit, but most of the time we, as believers, must work for it. It may come through prayer and fasting or giving to the church or to those in need, but it needs to come from our hearts. The Lord saw a man, "Joshua", willing to give himself, his life, to God, and it was not just in words but his heart was willing. The Lord saw the Israelites and their children were ready for their blessing, so He made a way for them by opening the flooded Jordan river. Now, in the Promise Land they really had to trust and put their faith in God. This was a land filled with the enemy of their souls. The victory only comes by trusting and loving God with all your soul, mind, and might. So, God gave them Jericho, who's walls were high and strong, and would only come down by faith and following God's instructions. What wall or walls are in front of you? Maybe your wall is pride, bitterness, lust, lying, and the walls go on. The walls in our lives must come down, and our faith must totally be in God in order to walk in the promises of the Lord. The walls will come down when we put the Lord first in our lives, and that's the truth. God Bless You and pray for strength.

To die is gain
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain". Philippians 1:21 KJV. What a powerful scripture the Apostle Paul writes. He was in prison at the time he wrote this letter, and through it he encouraged the Church. Paul knew his time could be shortened here on earth, but whatever the out come was, life or death, he was going to glorify the Lord. As a good and faithful Christian today, we may also think "to die would be a gain". Some may say, "Get me out of this dark and wicked world". The Apostle also made it clear that as long as he was alive his body was for the use and service of the Lord. "But that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death". vs 20. This man was sold out to the works of Christ, and no pain or any kind of suffering was going to stop him. How about each one of us? Are we sold out to the will of the Lord? Are we able to live a life that will give God Glory? Pray and ask God to prepare you. God Bless You.

The Blood of His Cross
Thank you for the cross, which paid for our sin and debt. When troubles arise and temptation comes near, I remember all You have done, Jesus, for me and the whole world. "And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross". (Colossians 1:20 AMP). So, the devil has no dominion over the children of God, and the trials of life are in front of me to teach me to trust only in You, Jesus. So, I cry out with all my heart to my Savior and Strong Tower. He is the only One that can save me from the storms that blow thoughts and fear into my mind. How great is our God who gives us love and attention even when we don't deserve it. I was lost and blind, but the Lord saw something greater in me than any man could ever see. He saw a life that could be saved, washed, and cleansed. With the unquenchable love from the Father we, His children, are unstoppable. The enemy can't stop what God brings to life. Run to Him today, for His mercies endure forever. God Bless You.

I will call on the Lord.
"I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Vs: 7. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and He did hear my voice out of His temple, and my cry did enter into His ears." 2 Samuel 22:4, 7 KJV. David faced many difficulties in his life, and through those trials he found a Deliverer. When all Hell came upon him, he knew where to run and what to do. He was a man that fell into sin, but he never stayed in the sin. He was a man of war who was familiar with both the enemy's and his own weaknesses. Never once did King David give up on God, even if the enemy had him surrounded. When he saw the enemy coming and grabbing for his soul, he cried out to the Lord for help. He found strength in the praises he prayed, because King David had faith God would hear his cry and come to the rescue. No matter how big or dark it may seem in the world today, we have the same God that delivered King David out of his hour of need, on our side. Cry out to the Lord. If we truly call upon Him He will always hear. He is the only one that can help you and I in these trying times. Give Him Praise and be saved from your enemies. God Bless You.

True Vine
"I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more richer and more excellent fruit". John 15:1, 2 AMP. Jesus is very clear here on what He says about being part of the vine. He is the root of the vine, we are the branches of the Vine, and God is the Vinedresser, the Gardner and the Care Taker. If one of the branches stops growing fruit it is cut off and taken away. A fruitless branch is no good to the Vine. It will eventually contaminate the rest of the branches. So, fruitless branches are cut off and soon to be thrown into the fire. However, those that bear fruit are cleaned and looked upon carefully, pruned to bear more fruit. The more a fruitful branch is pruned the richer and more excellent is the fruit that comes forth. So, we as believers, who stay in the Word of God, fed by His very Word, will produce fruit. There will come a time in our walk with Christ when we will become mature and alive, bearing fruit in every good work. Seek the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. God Bless You.

Appoint us a King
"And said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint us a king to rule over us like all the other nations." 1 Samuel 8:5 AMP. There really is no difference today. The people will vote in the man or woman they see fit for the job, and also according to what they desire. Just as back in Samuel's day, the people want their way not God's way. They desired to be like the other nations who were all about the works of the flesh and not of the Spirit. The Lord let them have what they wanted. He also let them know what the king was going to do as a leader of their country. God has warned us so many times, and regrettably many don't listen. No matter who is in office over our countries, it's our job as Christians to keep the fire of God's Spirit moving in our cities, towns, and our own homes. We have to vote "no" to the flesh and "yes" to the Holy Spirit. Remember the devil has his foot in just about everything around us. We need to be watchful and ready for the return of Christ, which can be any day. Gird up your loins, and praise the Lord for all He is doing. God Bless You.

Many Mansions
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-4 KJV". The Lord knew trouble would come after His departure from this world. For Peter trouble had already started. Jesus had just predicted Peter's shameful denial, but the Lord reassured not only Peter but the others among them, that He was going away to prepare a place for them. He is preparing a place that has many mansions for the many believers in the Lord. Jesus said "I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also". Jesus will come back soon for you and I. It might seem crazy out there, but it isn't the time to get carried away by the craziness. Don't allow the thoughts that run through the mind or the way things are looking to bring defeat. "Let not your heart be troubled" Keep on believing in God the Father and His only begotten Son. He is preparing a place for you. Give Him Praise and God Bless You.

He may sift you
Life may surround us with its difficulties, and the storms may look as if they won't stop. So, our Jesus looks upon us, intercedes in behalf of our lives, and prays that we do not lose the faith. Jesus spoke to Peter, "Behold Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat." (Luke 22:31). Satan hasn't changed. He still tempts us in order to bring out the bad in us. He doesn't really need to tempt us as much when chaos is all around, because his job only becomes easier. However, when the believer stands in the faith with Christ Jesus, it gives Satan something to work on. Little does Satan know, Jesus is on the other end praying for all believers. Whether their faith is strong or weak, Christ is praying.
V.32 "But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren". Satan attacks our faith because without faith we fail, then all else fails. Pray today for your country and also for the people that have been hit by storms and have lost loved ones and their homes. We need stronger faith. God Bless You.

Sometimes foolish
Titus 3:3 kjv. "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another". I remember how lost and ashamed I was before I meet the Lord. There were times I felt so helpless and broken, and I would try my hardest to find a way to make myself happy. Deceived by lust and pleasures, I would chase after my next high. I would try to stop and try to change for the better, but it would only last a few days. I couldn't stop doing what my body craved so much and what my heart desired. It was taking me to Hell quickly. Then I came to the point of suicide. I had to do something because all that I tried to do never worked. One night after a day of drugging I thought, "This is it, now or never." I grabbed the Holy Bible, got on my knees, and said, "God if your real, as this book says You are, then help me". Ephesians 2:4-6 says "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith He loved us, vs5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) vs6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus". God is so Good! I was lost, but now I am found. Praise God. God Bless You.

Come Boldly
". Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15,KJV". Stop hiding in your sin. God sees you hiding, and says to you, "Come, and know what My Son has for you".He sees you just as He saw Adam and Eve in the garden. He knew exactly what they had done even though they tried to hide. So many live in shame and guilt, when the Lamb of God has already been sacrificed. The Lord is merciful and gracious. He is faithful to His Word. He is familiar with our infirmities and sufferings. He too has been tempted like you and I, but has not fallen into sin, as we do. He knows all that we face and that is why He asks us to come boldly unto the throne of grace. He knows even when we fall into sin. The way out of the condemnation is by going to the throne of grace, crying out, and repenting. The Blood of Christ has made an atonement for you and I already. We just have to believe. "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin". Hebrews 4:16Give God Praise for His Mercies endure forever. God Bless You.

Dwell together in unity
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1 KJV." Everything living is meant to come together in unity. Take for instance the flower and the bee. Without the flower how can the bee live? How can the flower live without the bee that spreads pollen from one flower to another? The world is made in a unique way. God sure did put the world together in an awesome way, because all things living, from the smallest insect to the largest beast in the field, are meant to help each other in some way or another. God created man to be in unity with each other also, first husband and wife, then family. Life can only grow when it comes into unity. Without unity there can be no life. The church was born when brothers and sisters in the Lord came together in unity. They all had one purpose in mind, and that was to wait for the promise from the Lord. There is power in unity. When the Body of Christ prays together as one and stands in agreement, it brings freedom, and the Anointing of the Lord flows. How pleasant it is when we as the Church dwell together in unity. We need one another so True Life can come to pass. Praise the Lord. God Bless You.

His house
"But Christ as a son over His own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Hebrews 3:6 KJV". There is so much change that has come into this world, and time is moving so fast. So many families, here in America and around the world, have lost their jobs and along with their jobs they have also lost their homes, leaving many homeless and helpless. There is no telling how long this economic drought will go on, but the Lord says here in the book of Hebrews, Christ has a house, and we are members of this house if we hold fast to the confidence and keep our hope in Him. Times may look bad all around us, but we as believers walk by faith and not by sight. Our job is to reach out to those who are hurting and homeless. We must let them know there is a hope and a way through it all. There is a rain that will fall on this land, and it comes from Heaven above. Many might harden their hearts, but we come to encourage, warn them, and let them know Christ Jesus has plenty of room in His house for them. Pray for the families around this world and the Body of Christ. God Bless You.

The Bread of God
John 6:33 amp. "For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world". Jesus, God's only begotten Son, is the Bread of life. There is nothing in this world that can sustain our needs, but only the Bread from heaven, Christ Jesus Himself. We can look for joy or try to buy happiness, but only to find out that it perishes and was unable to keep us satisfied. There is so much stuff in this world made by man. It claims total happiness and for your "miracle" to come to pass, if you buy it, watch it, or just do it. There are books on "feeling good about yourself." Fill your shovels, and become the best seller. Programs fill the church house. Where is the faith in the Word of God? Many have gone so far to try to feel good about themselves, and to make a buck. Jesus said "He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in Me will never thirst any more". Our souls will be satisfied, lacking in nothing. Jesus came to give life to this world, and only He can satisfy our needs. Give Him Praise. God Bless You.
