What are you speaking today.

‭‭James‬ ‭3:5‭-‬11‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
[6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
[7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
[8] but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
[9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
[10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
[11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Just a REMINDER

You can be mad or even not speak to me.
But God shall and will have the glory in it.

In the recent news this week.
There's the issue of removal of monuments again in the community.
The racial tention arising from it.
Now I know and realize we live in today's times.
The church is standing idly by an not taking a active roll in Change.
I tell you as one pastor who stands up against such a disgrace.
To this parasitic world and the actions before us.
Stand up Church
For many are the persecutions to come.
Speak God's word over and out loud to this.
For the color of blood is Red.
It's not black,brown, yellow,white or any other color.
God created all of us to be equally the same.

MANKIND. ........ .

God's word and love for us says this;

25. because [by choice] they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
ROMANS 1:25 AMP

43.Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44.But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45.That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:43‭-‬45 KJV

8.Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any.
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:8 KJV

17. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 18. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord .
Leviticus 19:17‭-‬18 KJV

Sorry I haven't been on Facebook
Just taking a break
From the drama

Just Believe

In everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge, and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust.
Psalm 91:2 KJV

We get tired,distressed, even broken hearted.
Yet still God is able to do all things.
Ever protecting, providing, loving, correcting,
Empowering us to do more than we can imagine.
You need only to believe.
Having faith that his plan, his mercy are sure and constantly at work in our lives.
There is hope in God,through his son Jesus Christ.
They are your strong tower.
I pray that you all see what God is can and is doing in each of us.
The devil is a liar.
Continue the fight never give up.

Just a reminder.
Never forget...

All Christians,
Not some Christians
All Christians

All Christians are commanded to bear witness to scripture and preach the word.
That is as much of what being a Christian is as any Christian responsibility.

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Matthew 10:7 - And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 28:19-20 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Daniel 12:3 - And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Matthew 10:27
What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.

2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

These are not suggestions but rather commands of responsibility. Preach his word not our own.

27/02/2022

I want to draw your attention to the first and second verses.
With the way things are going in this world
that we reside in.
Are you living your best .
Are you really living and believing the teachings of Christ Jesus.
Are you teaching and applying, living the word of God in all area's of your life.
We each have a ministry to fulfill..

Time is of the essence.
It's vital and expedient
to share the word of God .

Verses 4 and 5
Speak volumes about the last days.
How many will run to false teachers.
Looking for knowledge that is not there.

I've heard
I saw it on tictok
Or
I saw it on Facebook
Or
It was on the news.

Is that rightfully discerning God's
Word.
Is it truly beneficial for coming events.

2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

When you think you can't love anymore.
Think about how much God and his son Jesus Christ loved each of us.

God first because he gave his only begotten son for the appropriation of our sins.

We cannot deny Christ Jesus because he first loved us.
So much so that he died for each of us.

I give you the following verses as reference to how we should love others as Christ Jesus loved all.
There is no separation nor can there be.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10 KJV

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38‭-‬39 KJV

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart:
Proverbs 3:3 KJV

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Peter 4:9 KJV

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 23:6 KJV

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

How big is God

When God asks and,
gives us something to do.
We aren't always willing are we.
Being the sinful people that we are.
We often seek proof of life.
In what he wants from us.
An I tell you a truth.
He is faithful.
He doesn't lie.

Father God
I ask in Jesus name that you
Show each of your children
the fullness of your truth.
That each of us will have
the strength to stand up in these
final day's.
Being filled with the truth and righteousness
of your love.
So that we may shine your light upon the whole of the earth.
May we bear fruit acceptable in your
eye's.
Having the fruits of the spirit.
That we may carry out your good will
Amen and Amen

Enemies

If you think about the enemies that king David had.
At the danger that God saw him through.
It's unimaginable in these modern times.
We as individuals cannot imagine the breath and scope of his enemies.
Yet he kept faith in God.
Yes he struggled
Yes he must have feared his enemies.
Just like many of us.
One message that jumps out at me is
God does not fail.
His strength is absolutely amazing and abundantly greater than any enemies that we are confronted with.

Oh what a glorious God we serve.
Ever present and always taking care of us.

1. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: Let me never be put to confusion.
2. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: Incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.
Psalm 71:1‭-‬3 KJV

1. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Defend me from them that rise up against me.
2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloody men.
Psalm 59:1‭-‬2 KJV

10. For mine enemies speak against me; And they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
Psalm 71:10 KJV

For mine enemies speak against me; And they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Matthew 10:27 KJV

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Press on – courageous and free – never held back by fear or defeat.
The battle belongs to the Lord, and He has the final victory.

Dear God, today we put on the full armor to guard our lives against attack. We put on the belt of truth to protect against lies and deception. We put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our hearts from the temptations we battle. We put the gospel of peace on our feet, so we’re ready to take your light wherever you send us this day. We choose to walk in the peace and freedom of your Spirit and not be overcome with fear and anxious thoughts. We take up your shield of faith that will extinguish all the darts and threats hurled our way by the enemy. We believe in your power to protect us and choose to trust in you. We put on the helmet of salvation, which covers our minds and thoughts, reminding us we are children of the day, forgiven, set free, saved by the grace of Christ Jesus. We take up the sword of the Spirit, your very Word, the one offensive weapon given to us for battle, which has the power to demolish strongholds, alive, active, and sharper than any double-edged sword.
We ask for your help in remembering to put on your full armor every day, for you give us all that we need to stand firm in this world. Forgive us God for the times we’ve been unprepared, too busy to care, or trying to fight and wrestle in our own strength.
Thank you that we never fight alone, for you are constantly at work on our behalf, shielding, protecting, strengthening, exposing deeds of darkness, bringing to light what needs to be known, covering us from the cruel attacks we face even when we’re unaware. In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
