EARNESTLY CONTEND

"They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them." Proverbs 28:4 "Contend" is to engage in a fight. To struggle, to strive, to stretch, to not give way to fear. Being unfraid to stand in the face of opposition, upholding the truth, and living by it... is contending for the faith.

"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Jude 1:3

EARNESTLY CONTEND. . .constantly. . .no clocking out. No slacking off. . .no short cuts . . .no compromising . . .no watering down the truth. Being earnest is hardcore, non-stop, raw, rugged, sincerely, on purpose, making every effort, to intentionally, zealously, be diligent in living. . .

what pleases THE KING.

[IT'S TIME TO RISE UP! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!! The eyes of the Lord run to and fro upon the earth to show Himself strong in on behalf of those who are fully committed and blameless in heart toward Him. II Chronicles 16:9 We must get in line with God, not God bless what we have chosen. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Luke 11:2 I don't think God has any problems getting things done in heaven. But here on earth christians think they can pick and choose what we want to do. WE WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. WE ARE NOT OUR OWN TO DO WHAT WE WANT. I Corinthians 6:19-20] (C. Miller)

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
