Be encouraged Precious Saints of God just a little bit longer and then... "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." Revelations 21:3-5 ~~chorus~~ One day I won't cry no more Can't wait for the day when people won't die no more Daddy's won't say, bye no more; lie no more In the streets bullets won't fly no more Won't feel no pain no more Won't have to push, pull, won't have to strain no more Won't have to walk lame no more Won't have to play the game n...

“…The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.” Ecclesiastes 911 So why is it that we scurry about the entirety of our few minutes here on this earth seeking favor and approval and position? Attempting to meet a long list of obligations and expectations that never seem to be satisfied no matter how much we busy ourselves. Working out, studying hard, eating right, investing wisely, and somehow time and chance happens to us all? Why? That’s a good question. No matter how we have started out this year, regardless of what has happened along the way, despite the turns and falls and outright mistakes. If you have fallen, get back up. Though a righteous man may fall seven times he gets back up. God gives power to the weak; and to them that have no might he increases strength. There is great mercy and forgiveness with God. All His paths are mercy and truth t...

A true child of God is done playing games. They take obedience seriously by not taking pleasure in wickedness, but delighting in the truth. They certainly do not see how close to the line of good and evil they can get. Instead they cling to what is good and depart quickly from evil. Developing courage by facing each situation as it arises. Depending on Him who knows all things to reveal truth and give right understanding and direction. No wishy washy lukewarm do what others are doing kind of beliefs are going to hold up in these last days. Stop compromising. Make a decision. CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE. If it be the Lord, serve Him. If it be the god of this world, serve it. If it be your own pleasures, well then... please note that one of these days real soon you might have more than a few regrets. God gives grace to the humble and He resist the proud. Did you know it is possible to be a coward and be prideful? I was presented with an opportunity just the other day to face ...

It is true that--- "He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that hath sent me, hath eternal life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24 I believe it is also true that you can have faith in God's word and still be blind as a bat, if you do not make an effort to search out the promises of God. This passage below has specific ingredients on how NOT to be ineffective and unfruitful. We really have to make sure we are not just reading something and agreeing with it, but then continuing on as if we had never read it. GIVE CAREFUL DILIGENCE TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. YOUR DEVOTION AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE LORD MUST NOT BECOME LAZY AND HALF-HEARTED...we do this in our human relationships and things crumble, fall apart, and become non-existant. And then we wonder why? II Peter 1:5-10 "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to tempe...

"He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." Luke 16:15 Ezekiel 23:30 "I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols." Psalm 106:39 "Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions." Ezekiel 6:9 "And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations." Hosea 4:12 "My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone...

You have those days you need to fall apart, to lean against His heart and wait. God knows you are falling down, wanting to be free of every doubt. Just keep waiting. Healing will come. So it's okay to say how you are really doing. I mean what would you do if you stopped putting on a show? Then everybody would know that everything is not alright. No need to think you are being negative just because you are being truthful. I am especially talking to the married folks out there that are having a difficult time living with themselves or their spouse. Giving up is not an option. Take your eyes off yourself so that you can continue to love like you promised to. To those who are not married yet, but are contemplating the possibilities and are involved in an unhealthy relationship or an ungodly relationship. I suggest you take a walk, a long one. Take some time away to listen to God and to pray and hear clearly before you proceed with all your future plans. Love is a choice. It is not push...

"FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE." Hebrews 12:29 What's left after a consuming fire? Everything in it's path is touched and changed and tried. What once was, is no more. What remains is dust, ashes, and some embers. Is it possible to know God and not be changed? Consuming Fire is very hot and will melt and transform anything within close range. Are you drawing near to God or are you keeping your distance? Some people either do not realize their need to change or quite simple just do not want to...so they stay away from the fire...they keep their distance from God.
