Where is your focus? Is your heart and mind on God? Is your trust in HIM? It is HIM who gives us peace and has already given us the mind of Christ Ameeeeeeeen.

If you are consistently in Christ doing HIS will, obeying HIS word, trusting in HIM, suicide will never be your decision even if it’s comes across your mind. God will always send help.

Psalm 116:165
165 Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.

Isaiah 26:3
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

My Beloved,

So how much generosity are you showing to your neighbors? Do you even know who your neighbors are? Will they be welcome to share in what you have? Would you be welcome to go share or partake of basic needs they possess? Why is this so hard to do these days? Share if you have a thought as to why this is difficult

Deuteronomy 23:24-25
24 “When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not carry any away in a basket.
25 And when you enter your neighbor’s field of grain, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not harvest it with a sickle.

May today bring answers to questions you have asked from God in JESUS name, Amen.

Go beyond just seeking to please you to doing all you do to please God. It is through faith in God that we please HIM, and HE rewards those who diligently seek HIM. So trust HIM, believe HE is, believe HIS words, obey them and you will see your life and the life of others around you transform. But it starts with you giving up your pleasures in order to please God.

Please read all of Hebrews 11 for a much deeper context.

Hebrews 11:6
6 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.

Are we there yet, that is at the place where we can truly say that we are eating the good of the land? If not, why not?

Isaiah 1:18-20
18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

Praise God our Father from whom all blessings flow, HE gave us HIS Son to reconcile us to HIMSELF (Thank You Lord JESUS), and also gave us HIS Spirit to live in us, teach us, guide us and lead us into all truth Halleeeeeeluuuuujah! How marvelous HIS works are forever Ameeeen!

Doesn’t HE deserve our worship today? So worship HIM with all you got anyhow!😁

Good morning Beloved,

Have you made promises or vows to God? Have you kept your promise or vows? Be careful to make new vows or promises and please keep those you’ve already made. In doing so, you become like God who always keeps HIS. What’s more, your integrity becomes evident to all and to God.

Deuteronomy 23:21-23
21“When you make a vow to the LORD your God, be prompt in fulfilling whatever you promised him. For the LORD your God demands that you promptly fulfill all your vows, or you will be guilty of sin.
22 However, it is not a sin to refrain from making a vow.
23 But once you have voluntarily made a vow, be careful to fulfill your promise to the LORD your God.

Psalm 15:1-5
1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
3 Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
4 Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD, and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5 Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.

Good Resurrection morning Beloved,

The reason for our being is because HE is risen. Our Lord and Savior JESUS The Christ who conquered hell, death and the grave, now sits in glorious splendor on the right hand of God our Father with all power and authority over all.

HE is our God, Redeemer and Adopted Brother Praise God Halleluuuuuuujaaaah Ameeeen!

Beloved, do not offer up to God offerings or tithes whose source is unclean or corrupt. So stealing, deceiving, defrauding, extorting, lying, cheating or prostituting to make a living and then give to the Lord all apply here. Praise Jehovah we are no longer like we we were, i.e. liars and cheats who defraud to make a profit.

Deuteronomy 23:17-18
17 “No Israelite, whether man or woman, may become a temple prostitute.
18 When you are bringing an offering to fulfill a vow, you must not bring to the house of the LORD your God any offering from the earnings of a prostitute, whether a manb or a woman, for both are detestable to the LORD your God.

Malachi 3:5
5 “At that time I will put you on trial. I am eager to witness against all sorcerers and adulterers and liars. I will speak against those who cheat employees of their wages, who oppress widows and orphans, or who deprive the foreigners living among you of justice, for these people do not fear me,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

Malachi 3:8-12
8“Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?’
“You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me.
9 You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!
11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease.a Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
12 “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

My Beloved,

Would you take in a slave who has escaped from his/her master or someone who is in trouble? Is this not similar to the city of refuge scenario? How would you treat someone like this if you decide to take them in? Were we not once slaves to sin who escaped into the house of God? How has GOD treated us?

Deuteronomy 23:15-16
15 “If slaves should escape from their masters and take refuge with you, you must not hand them over to their masters.
16 Let them live among you in any town they choose, and do not oppress them.

Beloved, This was an uncomfortable set of verses to read, but God clearly inspired this and so it is important. But, how is it important to us today? Would you live in a nasty smelly home or sleep in a bed pooped or peed in? There is a connection between cleanliness and godliness. Can you share what you think that connection is?

Deuteronomy 23:10-14
10 “Any man who becomes ceremonially defiled because of a nocturnal emission must leave the camp and stay away all day.
11 Toward evening he must bathe himself, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
12 “You must have a designated area outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
13 Each of you must have a spade as part of your equipment. Whenever you relieve yourself, dig a hole with the spade and cover the excrement.
14 The camp must be holy, for the LORD your God moves around in your camp to protect you and to defeat your enemies. He must not see any shameful thing among you, or he will turn away from you.
