THE BENEFITS OF THE RIGHTEOUS  :

” For You, O Lord, will BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.” ( Psalms 5:12 NKJV).

“The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the desire of THE RIGHTEOUS will be granted. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But THE RIGHTEOUS has an everlasting foundation.”( Proverbs 10: 24-25 NKJV).

” For I say to you, that UNLESS YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” ( Matthew 5 : 20 NKJV).

” And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but THE RIGHTEOUS into eternal life.” ( Matthew 25:46 NKJV).

“Little children, let no one deceive you. HE WHO PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, just as He is righteous.” (1 John 3 : 7 NKJV).

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

” But now THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,  even THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,  whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,  to demonstrate at the present time HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” ( Romans 3: 21-26 NKJV).

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him ( JESUS ).”( 2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV).

” Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF OUR GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST: 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.” (2 Peter 1:1-4 NKJV).

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”(James 5:16 NKJV).

” For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,  looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,..”( Titus 2 : 11-13 NKJV).

* Do not argue about RIGHTEOUSNESS with anyone.
* God alone establishes RIGHTEOUSNESS that is true and holy.
* When you received Jesus as your Savior and Lord you became the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV]

“Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” ( Psalms 55: 22 NKJV).

” Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4: 14-16 NKJV).

” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,  casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.  But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” (1 Peter  5: 6-10 NKJV).

+++God sits on The Throne of Grace. He is Gracious and Merciful unto us.
+++GRACE is God’s unmerited favor and kindness towards us. Grace gives us the goodness of God which we did not deserve and His MERCY spears us from the punishment we did deserve.
+++As long as we did not blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, God will always forgive us of all our repented sins and iniquities. We may feel shame, regret and remorse but never feel condemned.

“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? ( Romans 8:31-35 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

In Galatians 5:22-23 it gives us the makeup of the Fruit of the Spirit.
22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is…JOY…
Psalm 16:11 tells us that:
In the Presence of the Lord is the Fullness of JOY.
Then  Nehemiah 8:10 informs us that :
…for the JOY of the LORD is your Strength.
However, 1 Peter 1:8 says :
Though we have not seen God, we believe in Him and we rejoice with JOY unspeakable and full of glory.

+In the natural JOY is the feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
+But spiritually JOY, the JOY of the Lord (the FRUIT of the Spirit JOY) is something completely different.
+This JOY is of the Lord. It is the Love of God in our hearts Rejoicing.
+This is also called the Fullness of JOY.
+It is not a temporary feeling, but a permanent condition of our hearts.
+Based on 1 Cor 6:17 the Lord is in our hearts by His Holy Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is the FULLNESS of JOY.
+Enjoy your permanent and eternal JOY. Amen!

+What is Joy, Spiritual Joy, the Fruit of the Spirit Joy???
+This Joy keeps you Totally, Completely and Permanently satisfied and content in the Lord to the point of always rejoicing.
+Sometimes this Joy is unspeakable and inexpressible.
+This Joy is also unlimited and inexhaustible.
+Happiness comes and goes, but Joy, spiritual Joy, the Joy of the Lord, the Fruit of Joy is permanently in our hearts at all times and forever.

Now let’s look at peace from Galatians 5:22-23 standard:
But the FRUIT of the Spirit is…PEACE…
+Peace comes from Love and it is also being one with God. The Peace of Love is to rest in quietness in the Lord.
+It refreshes you in spirit, soul, mind and body.
+The Peace of God overall enhances your entire life.
Isaiah 9:7 says :
…the Lord is our Prince of Peace.
1 Corinthians 14:33 says this:
For God is the Author of Peace…
+Meaning Peace begins with God, and without Him we have no peace.

Let’s look at a few more supporting  scriptures :
2 Corinthians 13:11
Our God is the God of Peace.
Judges 6:24
He is also our Jehovah Shalom. The Lord is our Peace.
Philippians 4:7
And the Peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep our HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus our Lord.

James 3:18
And the FRUIT of Righteousness is sown in PEACE by them that make PEACE.
+We bear the Fruit of Peace in our lives.
+And since our God and Father is the God of Peace, He made us His Children of Peace.
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the Peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children of God.
+How amazingly wonderful is that? Being a Peacemaker identifies us as Children of God.
+We do not only have Peace, we are Children of Peace, and Peacemakers wherever we go.
PSALM 37:37
Mark the perfect (mature, blameless and Christlike) man… for the end of that man is PEACE.
Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with ALL JOY and PEACE… Amen and Hallelujah!

•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!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

” THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. [John 3:18.]  For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.  For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], [Lev. 7:37.] So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].

For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.  Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].  [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot. So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. 

But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. [Rom. 8:14.] But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].  And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.  So then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh.

For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. ” ( Romans 8 : 1–17 AMPC).

” I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Galatians 5: 16-25 NKJV).

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Almighty God, creator of all that is seen and unseen, we gather today on this first Sunday of the month with hearts full of gratitude and expectation. Thank you for the gift of this new month, a fresh start filled with new opportunities and blessings. We lay before you our plans, our hopes, and our worries, trusting that your hand will guide us and your strength will sustain us through the weeks to come.
We pray for your wisdom to discern your will, your courage to follow your path, and your grace to forgive as we have been forgiven. Bless our families, our communities, and our world. May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds.
We offer this prayer in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV ].

THE TRUTH IS :

IN John 8:34 NKJV : Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

” He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”( 1 John 3:  8-9 KJV).

“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?

God forbid.  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”( Romans 6: 12-23 NKJV).

” If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” ( 1 John 1: 6-10 NKJV).

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” ( 1 John 3: 8-9 KJV)

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”( James 4: 17 KJV).

” Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 KJV]

GOD IS AN ALL OUT GOD.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” ( Joshua 1: 8 KJV).

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not ALL His benefits: Who forgives ALL your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,…”(Psalms 103: 2-3 NKJV ).

” O Lord, You have searched me and known me.  You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.  You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with ALL my ways.  For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.” ( Psalms 139: 1- 4 NKJV).

“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.” (Proverbs 3 : 5-6 NKJV).

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of All flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? ( Jeremiah 32: 27 NKJV).

” 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? ” ( Romans 8 : 32 NKJV).

“I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4: 13 NKJV).

“And my God shall supply ALL your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”( Philippians 4: 19 NKJV).

” 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.” (2 Peter 1: 2-4 NKJV).

” The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that ALL should come to repentance.” ( 2 Peter 3 : 9 NKJV).

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. “[ Ephesians 3 : 20-21 NKJV].

” AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”( Matthew 6:13 KJV).

” Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.  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. “( 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 NKJV).

+All things that come against you are all common to mankind.
+God doesn’t give you temptations or trials, but He always provides a means for you escape.

“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.”( Romans 8:18 NKJV).

” 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.”( Romans 8:28 NKJV).

” 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. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.  Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” ( James 1:12-27 NKJV).

-Everything thing that come your way may not be God sent, but God works them all for our good.
-Don’t give up your good and victorious fight of faith. You are a Victor and not a Victim.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

-Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen! Have a blessed day.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

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? 

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.  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 : 1- 39 NKJV).

” Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.  Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”   “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15: 50-58 NKJV).

” Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? ” (1 John 5: 1-5 NKJV).

  REMEMBER that we have the Victory in Jesus,and through Jesus our Lord and Savior, forever. He sought me and bought me with His Redeeming Blood…

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Alleluia! and Amen!

God wants us to trust Him, regardless of what’s happening in the world, and in your life.

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

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”( Psalms 37: 3-5 NKJV).

” 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.”( Proverbs 3: 5-6 NKJV).

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.  For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”[ Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV].

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Heavenly Father,
We gather this Sunday with hearts full of gratitude and love. We lift up our families and friends to You, asking for Your divine presence to rest upon each one. We pray for their health and well-being, both in body and spirit. May Your healing hand touch those who are sick, and may You grant strength and vitality to all.
We ask for Your unwavering guidance and protection. Be a shield around our loved ones, keeping them safe from all harm and danger, both seen and unseen. Lead them on paths of righteousness and wisdom, helping them to make choices that honor You and draw them closer to Your grace.
Lord, as we begin a new week, we seek a spiritual renewal. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, refresh our hearts, and renew our minds. Help us to cast aside our worries and anxieties, and to place our full trust in You. We recognize and proclaim You as our Saviour, the source of all hope, peace, and salvation.
May we always remember Your incredible love for us, and may that love overflow from our lives to those around us. Strengthen our faith, deepen our love for one another, and keep us steadfast in Your truth.
IN JESUS HOLY AND PRECIOUS NAME, WE PRAY. AMEN .

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
