“Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]–these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever. Boys (lads), it is the last time (hour, the end of this age). And as you have heard that the antichrist [he who will oppose Christ in the guise of Christ] is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, which confirms our belief that it is the final (the end) time”. (1 John 2:15‭-‬18 AMPC).

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. (Romans 12:2 NKJV)

“But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth”.(John 17:13‭-‬19 NKJV).

THINGS GOD HATES,and so should we
Proverbs 6:16-19
These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

You have the Peace of God in your heart and in your mind. What is peace ?
PEACE: quietness with rest, calm and tranquility.
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
John 14:27 Jesus said:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
-The peace of God in your life keeps you from worries, keeps you from being troubled, and to keeps you from being fearful.

IN 2 Peter 1:2-4 , JESUS SAID :
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

-Do not allow yourself to be agitated and disturbed.
-Do not permit yourself to be fearful, intimidated, cowardly and unsettled.
-Settle and rest yourself in the Peace of God.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Good times and good things are coming your way.
Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…
Psalm 107:8-9
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
-Remember this as things are about to get better for you.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”. (III John 1:2 NKJV).

“Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God’s power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

[You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed. Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy. [At the same time] you receive the result (outcome, consummation) of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them]. It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you.

[It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look! So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed. [Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel]. But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. [Lev. 11:44, 45.] (1 Peter 1:3‭-‬16 AMPC).

Hebrews 10:35
Cast not away therefore your confidence (in God), which has great recompence of reward.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the LORD, I change not…
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
-Let your soul rejoice and say, my God is Good all the time, and all the time my God is Good to me.
+++Blessed I am and blessed I will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned”. (Psalms 34:6‭-‬22 NKJV)

“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil”. (I Peter 3:12‭-‬17 NKJV).

” FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS GAIN “. (Philippians 1:21 NKJV).

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.

For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things?

If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” . [Romans 8:5‭-‬24‭, ‬26‭-‬39 NKJV].

WHO ARE YOU LIVING FOR ?
+Those who live for self need to examine their Salvation.
+Those who live for God demonstrate His Salvation.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVES IN ME…
Acts 17:28
For in Him (Christ Jesus) we LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE our BEING…
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
+When we are living for God it is never about what we think, say, feel or do, but instead it’s all about the will of God and what pleases Him.
Luke 22:42 Jesus Said to the Father…
…not my will, but Thine, be done.
+So we say like Jesus not my will, but Your Will be done Lord Jesus.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GOD DIDN’T TELL US TO TRUST PEOPLE; HE SAID TO TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST GOD ONLY? BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL.

“GOD IS FAITHFUL , by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord”. (I Corinthians 1:9 NKJV).

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL , who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”.(I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV)

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, FOR HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL”. (Hebrews 10:23 NKJV).

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, THE FAITHFUL GOD WHO KEEPS COVENANT AND MERCY FOR A THOUSAND GENERATIONS with those who love Him and keep His commandments; [Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV].

Never Stop Trusting in God…
-Have you been going through some things for a long time and it seems as if its not getting any better?
-God has not forgotten you. Speak to Him and let Him know that you are still trusting in Him and waiting upon Him.

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God”. (Psalms 20:7 NKJV).

However in Psalm 37:4-5, He tells us to:
Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

“TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones “. (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8 NKJV).

-Don’t worry about how and when the Lord will do it or make it happen. Just know that He will do it.
Then Psalm 27:14 reminds us to :
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
-Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Yes! God Loves You.
+When you feel as if you mean nothing to anyone you always mean something to God.
+God loves you. He appreciates you. He values you and you are meaningful to God.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. (John 3:16 NKJV).

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. (Romans 5:8 NKJV).

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another”. (I John 4:7‭-‬11 NKJV)

+You may not be regarded by others like you should, and this can hurt, but don’t let it make you feel dejected or rejected.
+Your true worth is not of man, but instead your true worth is of God.
+In some ways you may have importance and value to others, but with God you are always beyond importance and you are invaluable.
John 14:2-3 Jesus Said…
I go and prepare a place for you that where I am there you will always be for all eternity.
+Yes God Loves you.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

How to Experience the Power of God .
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 says this :
“And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God.
+We have faith in the POWER of God.
+The POWER of God works!
+There is absolutely nothing that the POWER of God cannot do.
+God (Christ Jesus our Lord) is unlimited and inexhaustible in POWER. He is Omnipotent!
Revelation 19:6
Christ Jesus is the Lord God Omnipotent who Reigns forever…
+And we Reign with Him in His Omnipotent Power. Hallelujah!

In Matthew 28:18 Jesus said: All POWER is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth.
+The POWER of God is not limited by time and space.

• Time and location is not a barrier to God’s Power. WHY NOT? Because God is Omnipresent (God is present everywhere).
  Psalms 139:7-8
  “Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?
  If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (Hell: the place of the dead), behold, You are there”.
  +The power of God can reach you right now right wherever you are, and in whatever you are going through.
  +Whatever you are going through right now. I prayer for you.
  +I pray that the Omnipotent Supernatural Miracle Working Power of God locate and touch your life and situation and make things better for you. In the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ.
  Hallelujah! and Amen!

+In Acts Ch-16 Paul and Silas were attacked by a multitude of people who ripped of their clothes, had them whipped and thrown into prison.

“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying,

“Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household. And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, “Let those men go.” So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace.”

But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out.” And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from the city. So they went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed”.(Acts 16:25‭-‬40 NKJV)

Pay close attention again in Acts 16:25-26, how they activate the power of God.
“And at midnight Paul and Silas PRAYED, and SANG PRAISES unto God…
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were OPENED, and every one’s bands were LOOSED”.

3 The Power of God can be experienced through Prayers, Praise and Worship.

+I pray that you experience the Power of God and may all that tries to hold you back and come against you in life be shaken and broken in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ!

Don’t ever let the enemy tell you that you don’t have it. Matthew 13:58 says,And He (Jesus) did not many MIGHTY WORKS there because of their UNBELIEF.
+Please Notice the scripture said Jesus did not do many MIGHTY WORKS. It didn’t say Jesus could not do many MIGHTY WORKS.

4 We need to put our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ in order for us to experience God’s Power and for Him to do His MIGHTY WORKS in our lives.

+Remember all things are possible by God and all things are possible to them that believe in Him.
+I am believing God with you for the MIGHT WORKS of God to be done in your life.
God Bless you…

Experiencing the Power of God Pt.5
Luke 3:16
John the Baptist said He Jesus shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.
Acts 1:8
But you shall receive POWER, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you…
Luke 11:13
…how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

5 The POWER of God comes with the Spirit of God, and you can have the POWER of God with you all the time by asking the Lord to baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said:
Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the POWER of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
+We hurt because we lack the POWER of the Holy Spirit. I pray for you and with you to receive the baptism of the Holy’s Spirit FIRE and POWER and nothing shall hurt you in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,” (Titus 3:1‭-‬10 NKJV)

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:29‭-‬32 NKJV)

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.
(Ephesians 5:1‭-‬21 NKJV).

“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
(I Corinthians 1:9‭-‬10‭, ‬18‭-‬21 NKJV).

You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
However, 2Corinthians 5:7 reminds us how to walk.
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

“let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”.(Hebrews 10:22‭-‬23 NKJV).

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does” . (James 1:2‭-‬25 NKJV).

+Remember what it means to go through something. Going through means you are passing through, and since you are passing through do not stop. Keep marching forward like a soldier in the army of God and you will eventually come out of it, or it will pass you by.
+You cannot be defeated unless you allow it.
+Give the Lord all that He requires from you in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in Him.
+The battle is already won and Victory is yours.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
