"JESUS IS COMING SOON!"
"The Second Coming of Jesus" The Day of the Lord" is coming "like a thief in the night," indicating it will be unexpected, sudden, and at an unknown time. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, 2 Peter 3:10, and Matthew 24:43, urging us, His believers to remain observant to the coming of Jesus and prepared rather than caught off guard. The Bible compares this sudden destruction event to labor pains upon a pregnant woman, emphasizing suddenness and inevitability. For those in darkness, it will be a surprise, but for children of the light, it will be an anticipated event but the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night and then the heavens will pass away with a roar. While the world says "peace and safety" and is caught unaware, God has given us His believers the gift of discernment through His Holy spirit and are encouraged to be alert and prepared. Surrender your life to Christ now while you can, don't be cut off guard so that we can all spend eternity with Christ forever. The Son of Man is coming on the clouds with power and glory, and detailing the Lord descending from heaven with a shout!!! Matthew 24:30

"IF YOU DON'T FALL FOR JESUS YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!"
Without Biblical core beliefs, principles, values and faith in Jesus we become easily swayed by worldly, falsehoods, harmful ideologies and sinful temptations. A strong spiritual foundation provides purpose and resilience preventing us from being easily corrupted or misled. Without the word of God being the foundation for what we believe we are not anchored in Him, making us susceptible to any persuasive idea or fleeting fashion. Without a spiritual foundation we don't have a belief system to stand firm on, there is no accountability in our life and we are vulnerable to deception. For this reason it is of your children's life importance to raise them teaching them God's ways when they are young. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

"Happy Blessed New Year! "2026" As this year comes to an end... May God bless and keep us in our journey, my family and friends. May the Lord, renew our heart and spirit for the new year, that we may live in His light and love." "Praying for a year of spiritual growth, leaving the past behind and reaching for Christ." As we look to the future, may you find your refuge and fortress in God. May the Lord grant you wisdom and strength for every step in the New Year. "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:6 🎉

"JESUS TAKE OVER MY LIFE"
Means you give up your desire to control everything, you recognize that you have no control over anything not even your own life. When you come to the end of yourself you allow the Holy Spirit to take over your entire life. You will then experience a personal transformation characterized by a changing of desire, a loss of interest in sin, a hunger for holiness and righteousness; bringing about increased joy, peace, patience, and love for others, reflecting Christ's nature. The Holy Spirit will guide and direct you, the believer. The Holy Spirit will provide you with wisdom, and empower you to live a transformed, obedient life that demonstrates the infilling of the Holy Spirit's
personal transformation. To say "Jesus, take over my life" is to surrender control and allow Jesus to lead, guide, and direct every aspect of your life, trusting in His will and His plan for you over your own desires and fears. It involves an active choice to acknowledge Him as Lord and Master, to give up the burden of trying to manage things yourself, and to trust in His sovereignty and wisdom to lead you to a life of purpose and peace. It's about trusting that God's plan is good and perfect, and that He works all things for the good of those who love Him. God's plan is good and perfect, and "He works all things for the good of those who love Him. Romans 8:28 Your life led by Jesus involves His presence going before you, behind you, and beside you.
Embracing the Holy Spirit's work:
The Holy Spirit will work within you, shaping, guiding, and convicting you to live a life increasingly like Jesus. Trust in His promises:
meditate on God's faithful promises and choose to act on Faith instead of fear. Jesus said
come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

"GOD NEVER PROMISED US A LIFE FREE OF STRUGGLES"
God does not promise us a life free of struggles, however He does tell us if we have faith in Him He will give us guidance and strength to overcome all things. It doesn't mean that faith can offer us guidance and strength, faith doesn't guarantee us an absence of hardship or pain. However, the Word of God makes it clear that we, the believers will face trials and tribulations. God does promise us to be with us through all our struggles. The reality is suffering is a part of life, suffering is a reality for all of us, regardless of our faith. God offers us strength, comfort, and guidance to help us navigate difficult times but not a life without pain. Some think that if we surrender our life to Christ, we will live a pain free life. However, it is not about faith. Life, even for those with strong faith, will inevitably include challenges, trials and tribulations.
Our focus should be on developing our faith and resilience to face life's difficulties, rather than expecting a life free of them. Jesus Christ Himself didn't experience a life free of pain and struggle. God never promised us a rose garden but he did promise to walk beside us through it all. "If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him." Timothy 2:12 The verse is part of a letter written by the Apostle Paul to Timothy, his young, talented helper. encouraging him to remain steadfast in his faith despite challenges and persecution.
Emphasizing that enduring hardship and suffering alongside Christ is the road to reigning with Him forever. The opposite, consequences of denying Christ, is He also will deny us." This is a call for us to persevere through trials, trusting that our faithfulness to Christ will be rewarded with both present and future blessings. Ultimately spending eternity with Him in heaven forever. Amen!

"RUN THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE YOU"
Keep your faith and you'll have strength to run your race. "Run the race that you have been given with endurance". Hebrews 12:1-2 1 "Do you not know that all runners run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown but we for an imperishable one." Corinthians 9: 24-25 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Let it be said... “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Timothy 4:7-8

"NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU, GOD!"
How can we measure the greatness of God? Billions of people fill the earth, and God placed every one of them here. Stars fill the night sky, seeming to go on forever. Yet it is the hand of God that holds them and stretches their heavenly tapestry out before us. We cannot begin to fathom such a vast and infinite God!
Lord, You are powerful and great. We are left in awe at the sheer magnitude of Your being. Your image is reflected in every man, woman, and child. Your great hands contain the vastness of the heavens. How great and wonderful You are, God!
