THE FLESH IS WEAK

Matthew 26:41 …the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
The spirit is willing: You are predisposed (always ready) in your spirit by the Holy Spirit to obey God. You are strong in your spirit by the Holy Spirit.

The flesh is weak: The weakness of the flesh is it’s susceptibility to sin and it’s inability to obey God.

Romans 8:5-17 NKJV says this :
[5] 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. [6] For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. [8] So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. [9] 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. [10] And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [11] 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. [12] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. [13] 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. [14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. [15] 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.” [16] The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, [17] 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.

However,Galatians 5:16-17 says,
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, (let the Spirit make the decision) and all of 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 the one to the other: so that all of you cannot do the things that all of you would.
But thanks be to God you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, Phil 4:13. “AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT,LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT”{Galatians 5:24~25}.
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.

THE LOVE OF GOD

You are loved with the greatest love ever.
In John 15:13-14, Jesus said:
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. All of you are my friends…
•Jesus loves us with the greatest love ever. A love that is demonstrated in His death on the cross for us (Without the death of Jesus on the cross, we all would die in our sins and stay dead).
•His death saved us from sin, judgment, eternal death, hell, and the lake of fire.
•Jesus raised from the dead gives righteousness, holiness, eternal life, a mansion in heaven, crowns, gifts, and rewards.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
John 10:10, NIV

Jesus is always on a mission of life. He wants to bring life to your spirit, life to your dreams, life to your finances, life to your relationships, and every area of your existence. He is always working behind the scenes; He is always out for your good. Things may not always be good, but that just means it isn’t over yet. We can hold on to hope today because He who promised is faithful. We can’t lose if we don’t quit!

The thief in today’s scripture is the enemy, the devil. He will do his best to knock you down and get you to quit. But, scripture says that Jesus has already overcome him and his ability to harm you! The key is, don’t give up! You have to keep standing, keep believing, keep praying and keep hoping in God until you see the victory! Don’t let your thoughts drift down to the worst case scenario. Instead, set your mind on hope! Speak words of faith. Declare that the answer is on the way. Hold on to hope and watch what God will do in your life!

Let’s pray:

HEAVENLY FATHER IN THE ALMIGHTY  NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOUR ONLY BEGOTTENSON; AND THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME, YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. Father, do not allow the enemy to overcome us, but help us to guard our joy,  hope and our victory in Christ, which are wonderful gifts from You in JESUS’S NAME, I do pray and declare it all. Blessed are we and blessed we will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ 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]

  • O how He Loves us. O how He Loves us so…
    +++You are Dear, Precious, Highly Valued and Favored to the Heart and Mind of God.
    +++Loved you are and you will always be loved and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!

OUR UNFATHOMABLE GOD.

Isaiah 40:25-31 NKJV
[25] “To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. [27] Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? [28] Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. [29] He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. [30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, [31] But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 55:6-11 NKJV
[6] Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. [8] “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. [9] “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. [10] “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, [11] So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
Jeremiah 31:3

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Heavenly Father, We come before you today to praise You for Your enduring love and faithfulness. You never leave us nor forsake us, even when we feel isolated and lonely. We are deeply thankful that You will draw near to those who call out to You in despair. Thank You for loving us despite our shortcomings and mistakes. Help us to find solace in Your presence as we remember that You are always near, even when loneliness threatens to overtake us. May the knowledge of Your never-ending love bring us comfort. We pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ.

God of wisdom and love, I am not worthy to gather the crumbs under Your table and yet in mercy and love, You picked me up out of the miry clay and dressed me in the robe of Christ’s righteousness, for His name’s sake. I praise You for the unconditional love You pour out on me in unhindered measure because Your eternal character is measureless love. Thank You, Father, for Your everlasting love for me. Thank You that in loving-kindness, You drew me to Yourself and made me Your child. In Christ’s NAME, I pray,
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.

DON’T WALK WITH THE UNGODLY

Psalms 1:1-6 NKJV says:
[1] Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. [3] He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. [4] The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. [5] Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.


” Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.  Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.  I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, nor will I go in with hypocrites. I have hated the assembly of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.  I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord, That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.”(Psalms 26:1-7 NKJV).

However,Proverbs 4:14-24 NKJV tells us this :
[14] Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. [15] Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn away from it and pass on. [16] For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. [17] For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. [18] But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. [19] The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. [20] My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. [21] Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; [22] For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. [23] Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. [24] Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you.

Then, 2 Thessalonians 3:6 has this to say :
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
Disorderly: to knowingly walk irregular and inconsistent in the way the Lord established for us.
Finally, ” Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” (1 Corinthians 15:33-34 NKJV).
+++Let us examine our walk with the Lord and our communications with one another.
+++The Lord has graced us to live fully pleasing unto Him. We can do it. Let us all do it and help each other along the way.

” 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!

FORSAKE NOT EACH OTHER

“But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,  who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.  Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another, just as you are also doing.  And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,  and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, and be patient with all.  See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.  Rejoice always,  pray without ceasing,  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ( 1 Thessalonians 5: 8-18 NKJV)

“ 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. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,  not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.  For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,  but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.” ( Hebrews 10:22-27 NKJV).

My 🙏🏽 Prayer… Dear Heavenly Father,
As the sun rises on this beautiful Sunday, we come before You with grateful hearts. Thank You for the gift of life, for the blessings of family and friends, and for the opportunities of this new day. We pause to reflect on Your love and mercy, grateful for Your presence in our lives.

Lord, we ask for Your guidance in all our endeavors. Help us to seek Your wisdom in our decisions and to find strength in our challenges. May we carry Your light into the world, spreading kindness and compassion to those around us.

We pray for healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Comfort those who are suffering, whether from illness, loss, or loneliness. Bring peace to those in turmoil and hope to the hopeless. May Your healing touch renew their spirits and restore their bodies.

As we gather in community today, unite our hearts in love and understanding. Help us to support one another, celebrating our joys and bearing each other’s burdens. May our words and actions reflect Your grace and build a stronger, more compassionate community.

We also pray for our leaders and those in authority. Grant them wisdom, discernment, and integrity as they make decisions that affect our lives. Help them to lead with justice and mercy, always putting the needs of others before their own.

Lord, let us remember those less fortunate than ourselves. Inspire us to serve others and to act as stewards of Your creation. May our compassion extend beyond our circle, touching the lives of those who are marginalized and in need.

On this Sunday, may we find renewal in our spirits, a deepened sense of purpose, and a commitment to live out our faith in action. Fill our hearts with joy and gratitude as we embrace the week ahead. IN JESUS’S NAME I PRAY WITH THANKSGIVING. 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.

HUMILITY LEADS TO EMPOWERMENT

God Empowers the Humble,as we see in the life of Jesus.

Philippians 2:5-11 NKJV says :
[5] Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, [6] who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, [7] but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. [8] And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. [9] Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, [10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1 Peter 5:6 says :
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
HUMBLE: Not proud or arrogant; to be moderate; to give up your independence, power, and will for the Lord’s Will, and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Humbleness is the precondition for submission.
+When we humbly submit to God, we will experience what it’s like to be STRONG in the Lord and in the Power of His Might.
+Submission to God is our most powerful resistance against the enemy.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
+In our humble submission to God, we are not only resisting the devil, the devil also flees from us in terror, and we are also keeping evil and sins out of our lives.
+In humility, we are also giving God what He needs for us to experience His Manifest Presence in our lives.
+God Elevates, Exalt, Lifts up and Promotes the Humble.

However, James 4:6 says :
But He (God) gives more GRACE. Therefore, He says, God resists the proud, but gives GRACE unto the HUMBLE.
1 Peter 5:5
…be clothed with HUMILITY: for God resists the proud, and gives GRACE to the HUMBLE.
GRACE: God’s spiritual and divine influence upon our heart that is reflected in our lives. God’s acceptance of us with His given benefits, favor, and gift with joy, liberality, pleasure, and all such like things.
2 Peter 1:2
GRACE and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
+May we always remain in HUMILITY and HUMBLED in all things for the glory of Our Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, and may we always grow in His GRACE and be found in His LOVE and Perfect Will. In the All Powerful Name of Jesus! 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!

FEAR NOT.

With everything that’s happening in the world. GOD SAYS: FEAR NOT.

Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
[6] Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
[10] Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Luke 13:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
[7] For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

I John 4:18 NKJV
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.


Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom comes by the Holy Spirit, and the Kingdom of God is also where the rule and reign of God is.
Wherever you go, the Kingdom of God goes with you. Angels go with you, and more importantly, God goes with you.

Continue to enjoy the righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. That’s the Kingdom of God and a taste of Heaven.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
Revelation 2:10

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Lord our God, we come into your presence. Hear our prayers, we entreat you. Let your will be done among us; let your will be done for each one of us individually, and for our time. Let everything go according to your will, even if the way leads through tribulation, fear, and need. For in the end your goal will be reached. In the end you will fulfill your purpose, and your kingdom will come. Your kingdom will come to the honor of your name and for the redemption of all people still suffering on earth. Let your Word bring us blessing. May we go forward joyfully in the patience of Jesus Christ until times change, until a new day dawns and we are allowed to see your glory and your peace.

Thank You, Father, for the wonderful encouragement we receive from the saints in Smyrna. I pray that I may be faithful to the point of death and receive that promised crown of life. Thank You, that no matter how weak we may be and how intense the fight we face, none of Your children need fear the attacks of the enemy, for You are with us in every eventuality of life. Thank You that I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior and have an assurance of the resurrection of the dead. I pray that I may be faithful in the trials that lay ahead and be worthy to fellowship in His suffering, for His praise and glory. Thank You, that Christ died for me and rose again, so that I may live with Him eternally. IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. 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.

ENJOY  GOD’S DAILY GIFTS

Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV
[25] “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? [26] Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? [27] Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? [28] “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; [29] and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? [31] “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ [32] For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [33] But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. [34] Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Luke 13:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom comes by the Holy Spirit, and the Kingdom of God is also where the rule and reign of God is.
Wherever you go, the Kingdom of God goes with you. Angels go with you, and more importantly, God goes with you.

II Peter 1:2-15 NKJV
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [3] 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, [4] 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. [5] But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, [6] to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, [7] to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. [8] For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

[10] Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; [11] for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. [12] For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. [13] Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, [14] knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. [15] Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

Continue to enjoy the righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. That’s the Kingdom of God and a taste of Heaven.
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.

KNOW THE TRUTH

Know the truth, and be free from fear,sicknesses, diseases ,lack, and insufficiency . The Word of God sets you free. Meditate on it three times a day.

Psalms 100:5 NKJV
[5] For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

John 4:23-24 NKJV
[23] But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. [24] God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

John 8:32 NKJV
[32] And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

John 16:13-15 NKJV
[13] However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. [14] He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. [15] All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

John 17:17 NKJV
[17] Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. The Word of God is your perfect prescription, without side effects. And you can never overdose.

HERE IS A FEW TRUTH TO START WITH:

Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
[5] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 54:17 NKJV
[17] No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
[7] For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

I John 4:1-6 NKJV
[1] Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, [3] and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. [4] You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. [5] They are of the world. Therefore, they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. [6] We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

A Word of Encouragement
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (AMP)
Therefore, encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.
+Be encouraged in the Lord with this message.
+Stay away from anger..
It hurts you.
+If you are right, then there is no need to get angry,
+And if you are wrong, then you don’t have the right to get angry.
+Patience with family is love,
+Patience with others is respect.
+Patience with self is confidence, and patience with GOD is faith.
+Never Think Hard about the PAST, It brings Tears…
+Never worry about the FUTURE, It brings Fears…
+Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings cheers.
+Every test in our lives makes us better, not bitter,
+Every problem that comes our way is to make us and not break us.
+The choice is ours whether we become victims or victors.
Chose Victory.
+Beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.
Do you know why God created gaps between fingers?
+So that God can fill those gaps by holding your hands forever.
+Happiness keeps You Sweet, But being sweet brings happiness to others.
+You are greatly blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved.
+Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory.
+Enjoy your blessed day…
Praise the Lord! Amen!

SPREADING THE GOSPEL

Isaiah 52:7 NKJV
[7] How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Romans 10:14-15 NKJV
[14] How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

Mark 16:15-18 NKJV
[15] And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. [17] And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; [18] they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Acts 1:8 NKJV
[8] But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

John 14:15-17 NKJV
[15] “If you love Me, keep My commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Ephesians 6:19-20 NKJV
[19] and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, [20] for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
HEAVENLY FATHER, We confess that we have missed opportunities to tell other people about Jesus. We have hidden the light from those around us who are perishing in a sinful world. Help us to break free from the lies that we have believed and be empowered by Your Spirit to share this great news. We pray for boldness to share faith with our neighbors. Would you help us find resources, pray, and press into the Christian community to support one another in the great commission?

Where we have insecurities, fill us with Your confidence. Where we have pride, remove our will for Your will. Where we have fear, give us great peace. Help us to remember that we do not save people, You do. Help us to feel the responsibility to be your vessels and Your ambassadors here on earth, but without the improper view that we can change a heart. You are the God over all and only Your Spirit can save by Your blood on the cross. Remind us of the joy that we have in being free in You. Help that love and that peace drive our conversations to share the hope that we have with others unashamedly.

Give us words to say by Your Holy Spirit and Your Scriptures. Open up doors for relationships with unbelievers to pray for them and discuss eternity. Help us to represent you well in humility, kindness, and truth. We pray against church hurt or negative past experiences for these individuals who need open hearts. Soften their hearts and open their eyes. We pray for sensitive family relationships to receive the gospel in love even if they have heard it before from us. We pray for boldness to share with strangers who you lead us to in our daily detours. You are glorified and worthy. We praise You for the great salvation that You have given to us and ask in faith that You would use us to share this hope and witness Your Spirit at work in the lives of those around us. IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. 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.
