Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am reading in the New Testament, beginning with Revelation 18:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read. Thank you for joining me on my continual journey through the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.

Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am reading in the New Testament, beginning with II Timothy 1:1.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am reading in the New Testament beginning in John 16:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out!

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am reading in the New Testament beginning in Luke 9:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am reading in the New Testament beginning in Matthew 22:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out!

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am continuing in the Old Testament beginning in Jeremiah 1:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin.

My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out!

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience. The Word of God promises in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am continuing in the Old Testament beginning in <br />Psalm 8:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am continuing in the Old Testament beginning in II Chronicles 1:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) <br />5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am continuing in the Old Testament beginning in I Kings 22:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) <br />5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) <br />5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies. I am continuing in the Old Testament beginning in II Samuel 12:1. Please, if you have your Bibles follow along as I read.

Christ did not say “serve me and I will die to restore your relationship with God.” Before the foundation of the world, Christ chose to die for me and you so that we could have eternal life. We are not designed to carry the weight of sin, it causes sickness, depression, oppression, sadness, and separation from our Creator. Why not accept the finished work of Jesus Christ? Truly, there is NO other god that has done what Jesus had done. There exists only one true and living God and his name is Jesus. I am continuing to look to Jesus for the solidification of my dedication to our relationship. I am thankful for what the Lord has and is doing for me, my loved ones, and my brothers/sisters in Christ! I know he will finish the work he has begun in me because God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will perform it! Amen! The World situation is aligning with the Word of God. We, as Christians, must find our place in the Lord’s army and walk therein. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God requires “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I can see the lack of the knowledge of God and how actions/legislation/lifestyles that are contrary to the Word of God are being attributed to Christ. Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace because it truly endures forever. Nothing I can say or do will earn me the love you have shown BUT the price I must pay is my life. Not because it will give me brownie points, but because the sacrifice you made bought me and I am not my own. We are living in the last days and although I have heard that statement numerous times, it is just beginning to become real to me. What are the last days? The battle manifests in the natural realm, but for Christians, we fight in the spiritual realm through prayer, fasting, and searching the scriptures because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am seeing the devil continue to use racism/sexism/religion to divide. Moreover, when men/women call evil good and good evil, for example, God create Adam and Eve. Marriage is between a man and a woman, this union can pro-create. Satan has perverted the marriage bed through men with men, women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts. Sex outside of marriage is acceptable in most societies. This does not make fornication right in the eyes of Jesus. It is still wrong and considered a sin. When those of us who say we are Christians TRULY become like Christ or walk in the same obedience that Christ did with God, then the Lord will be able to take revenge on all disobedience.<br />2 Corinthians 10:5-6 (KJV) <br />5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; <br />6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. <br />My hope is in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone!!!! I will continue to strive to hide his Word in my heart that I might not sin against him. Letting his Words cleanse me from the inside out! We each must study to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. In order to understand the Word of God, we must have the Holy Ghost - Christ in us, the hope of glory because the natural man (natural mind) cannot understand the things of our supernatural God. We must pray much one for another, pray for those in authority, pray for the veterans and those who are yet wearing a military uniform in defense of America. Pray for our enemies.
