“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]” (Philippians 4:6‭-‬8 AMP).

“Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil. It will be health to your body [your marrow, your nerves, your sinews, your muscles—all your inner parts] And refreshment (physical well-being) to your bones”.(Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8 AMP).

WHY WORRY, WHEN YOU CAN ,PRAY

Psalm 34:4,says,
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
2Tim 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
1. In Christ Jesus we are completely delivered and set free from all fears. The Perfect Love which is the Love of God casts out all fear.
2. NOT living in the Love of God makes us accessible to all kinds of fears.
3. Fear has torment.
4. Fear is a demonic spirit under the rule of satan.
5. When we completely delivered from fears:
A. We will be Bold and Strong in the Lord.
B. We will freely demonstrate love to others and function in the sound mind of Christ.
•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!

When your faith is shakey, it’s time to hold fast,to God’s word. Because ,He is always FAITHFUL .

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM”.(Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

HAVE PERSISTENT FAITH
1 Corinthians 15:58
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.
+What do you do when you are walking by Faith and in the natural and your situation has not changed?
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
+Sometimes we may not experience changes initially in the natural and also for a period of time, but know without doubt that something is always happening in the Spirit as long as we are walking by Faith and not by sight. 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.

It’s All About Jesus.

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”.(Philippians 1:21 KJV).

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 14:6‭-‬7 KJV).

Revelation 22:13 says,
I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.And, Colossians 1:18-19 says,
” And He (Christ Jesus)is the Head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in ALL things He (Christ Jesus) might have the Preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should ALL fulness dwell.
+In everything concerning us Christ Jesus our Lord comes before all, and He must be kept above all.
+Whatever we start with Jesus we must finished with Him knowing that in Him we Live, Move and Have our Being. Amen!

Luke 14:26
If anyone comes to Me and does not HATE his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
+Number one, lets get this straight. Jesus is not promoting hatred towards family.
+Jesus is speaking figuratively.
+He is expressing to us what we need to have in our hearts for Him in order to be one of His Disciples.
+It takes Loving Him above all, putting Him before all, and more importantly the sacrifice of ourselves (lives) for Him.
+Precious Saints its worth it. Let us give Him all that He needs from us, and follow Him.
Mark 10:28-30
” Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”
+To be a Disciple if Jesus we must be willing to leave ALL and FOLLOW HIM.
So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,
who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time-houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions-and in the age to come, eternal life.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

The media says that there is no cure for the virus, that’s a lie. God gave us the cure,over two thousand years ago,without any side effects.

“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities”.(Isaiah 53:3‭-‬11 KJV).

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls”.(1 Peter 2:24‭-‬25 KJV).

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place”.(2 Chronicles 7:14‭-‬15 KJV).

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE”.(Exodus 15:26 KJV).

“I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the Lord , “AND I WILL HEAL HIM.”(Isaiah 57:19 NKJV).

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death”.(James 1:12‭-‬15 KJV).

“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart”.(Matthew 5:27‭-‬28 KJV).

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God”.(1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11 KJV).

“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you”.(Ephesians 4:17‭-‬32 KJV).

Who do we seek to PLEASE?
+Forget about the devil. He is not included. Do we seek to please others, ourselves or God?
+In other words, do we live for others, ourselves or for God? I
Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men (or unto self).
+In everything we THINK, SAY and DO for others, it must always be AS UNTO THE LORD.
+In other words if it is NOT THE WILL of God we are not to THINK it, SAY it or DO it.
+How we treat others reflects our Love for God.
+In John 13:34-35
Jesus gave us a New Commandment to Love one another LIKE He Loves us and by this we are know as His Disciples.
+Who do we seek to PLEASE? We please the Lord in all things. Hallelujah!!!

“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”. (James 1:2‭-‬4 NKJV).

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God MUST BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV).

“And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification”. (Romans 4:19‭-‬25 NKJV).

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, 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. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul”. (Hebrews 10:19‭-‬23‭, ‬35‭-‬39 NKJV).

“This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord”. (Lamentations 3:21‭-‬26 NKJV).

Don’t Give Up On God, His Word, and His Promises.
+Our God is Eternally Faithful to His Word, and to the fulfillment of all His promises.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
+God’s Promises in His Word are sent to us. Once we receive the Word of God with Faith it will not return to God Void, but it will accomplish and establish the Promises of God in our lives. Hallelujah!
Self-Encouragement in the Lord
1 Samuel 30:6
And David was greatly distressed (in a major crisis)… but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
+Self-Encouragement in the Lord is absolutely necessary and very important.
+We need to know how to encourage ourselves in the Lord.
+ Know what the Word of God says about us, and Proclaim it, Declare it, Profess it, and Confess it to yourself and over your life in Jesus Name! Some of us may need to look in the mirror when we do this.
+Encouragement produces Empowerment, and Empowerment is a Boost in the Demonstration of our Faith. +This Equips us to overcome all challenges, while we live in the Victory that we already have in Christ Jesus our Lord. Hallelujah! and Amen!

You are free to choose , but you’re not free,from the consequences of your choice .

whatever ,you sow ,you will definitely reap.

“For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”(Deuteronomy 30:11‭-‬20 NKJV).

“Now therefore fear the Lord , and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord . And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord . And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord , to serve other gods; For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:..” (Joshua 24:14‭-‬17 KJV).

The Hand of God IS COVERING HIS CHILDREN

+We are in the Mighty Hand of Our Almighty God, Lord and Father.
John 10:28-29
Jesus said:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never PERISH, neither shall any man pluck them out of my HAND.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s HAND.
+Glory to God we are in the Father’s HAND.
+HAND as it applies to God symbolizes His Almighty and Active Power upholding, preserving and protecting His People.
+May these Words Edify, Exhort and Comfort you Knowing that you are in the HAND of our Almighty God and Father.

Get off the Pity Train.

“Trust in the Lord , and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord , and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord , they shall inherit the earth”.(Psalms 37:3‭-‬9 KJV).

LISTEN

When things don’t turn out quite the way you hoped or it seems like nothing good ever happens to you–it’s easy to jump on the “pity train” and start feeling sorry for yourself. But when you go down that path–it never makes you feel better. In fact, the more you sulk and feel sorry for yourself, the more miserable you are and the further down you’ll fall. Moping around with a sour attitude and a “poor-me” mentality is downright destructive. Soon your self esteem becomes dangerously low, and you’ll eventually hit rock bottom. Once you are stuck in the pit of despair, there is only one way out–and that is to reach out to Jesus!

The Bible says in Psalm 40:2, “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” The truth is, we live in a sinful world and there will always be trials and heartache here on earth. We won’t have a perfect life until Jesus comes. Instead of becoming despondent and depressed when experiencing heartache–trust in God! Have faith that He knows what is best for you and His love will sustain you. Sometimes God allows us to go through the fire so that He can perfect our characters and prepare us for heaven.

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation”.(Isaiah 12:2 KJV).

God, says in James 1:2-3, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” So don’t ride the pity train–instead rejoice through every trial knowing that it’s going to be okay–because you are safe in the arms of Jesus!

“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong”. (2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV).

Therefore ,You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18,tells us,
“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, 2 Corinthians 5:7,reminds us of this fact,
“FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT”.

+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 and Faith in Him.
+The Lord’s Victory is your Victory.
•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!

Inspite of all that’s happening, don’t lose hope,nor faith,trust,nor confidence in God. That’s what the devil wants.

DON’T EXCHANGE YOUR FAITH, FOR FEAR.

“And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. BUT I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU, THAT YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT FAIL; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” (Luke 22:31‭-‬32 NKJV).

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: FOR HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM”. (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

Persistent Faith
1 Corinthians 15:58
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.
+What do you do when you are walking by Faith and in the natural and your situation has not changed?
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
+Sometimes we may not experience changes initially in the natural and also for a period of time, but know without doubt that something is always happening in the Spirit as long as we are walking by Faith and not by sight. Amen!
