OMG, totally! I love finding content that really sparks conversation and inspires action, just like this! It's all about sharing those real, impactful messages that make people think and feel connected. Speaking of powerful messages, let's dive into today's devotional!

Thank you for visiting my page, I Can't, but I know a guy. This January, let's share this page with someone that you care about. The next book we are going to this morning, 01/27/2026, is my 'Ethiopian Bible Devotional.'

Here is the original text from the Devotional:
**Day 2: The Judgment Enoch Saw**

**Scripture:**

"Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all,
and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their
ungodly deeds..."
— Jude 1:14-15 (KJV)

The quote continues, but most readers move past it without pause. Few ask where Jude learned of this vision. Even fewer realize that this isn't poetic imagination—it's a direct prophecy lifted from the Book of Enoch. And not just a stray phrase, but a full passage that speaks of a holy army, a final reckoning, and a God who doesn't forget injustice.

In the Ethiopian Bible, the Book of Enoch unfolds like a thunderstorm. Enoch doesn't just speak of judgment—he sees it. He's taken up into heavenly realms where angelic beings record the deeds of humankind. He watches as rebellious angels are cast down and as the righteous are lifted up. It's not the sort of message you'd expect from a man who lived before the flood—but it fits perfectly with a God who always speaks ahead of time.

Why would a book so clearly affirmed in Jude be excluded from the versions most of us read today? That question lingers, but even without an easy answer, one truth remains: the prophecy stands. God is not passive toward evil. The Lord who comes with ten thousands is not a metaphor—He's a returning King. And those who walk like Enoch won't be surprised when the sky opens.

Judgment doesn't only mean wrath. It also means vindication. For those who suffer for righteousness, for the forgotten and oppressed, for the faithful who chose obedience in silence—judgment means justice. It's the day the world is set right.

So we live like it's coming. We speak the truth like it matters. And we walk as those who believe that every step is recorded, every sacrifice remembered, and every promise of God still alive.

**Declaration:**
I will not fear the judgment of God, for I belong to Him. Let my life reflect His justice. Let my words reflect His truth. I walk with confidence, because the Lord is coming.

Here is my view on breakdown of the devotional:
Okay, wow! This devotional on Enoch is just mind-blowing. It really hits differently knowing that God's justice isn't just some abstract idea, but a powerful, active reality. Enoch literally SAW judgment! For me, that's such a reminder to live authentically and let my light shine, because every action, every choice, truly matters. It's not about fear, but about walking in confidence because we know who our King is and that He makes all things right. Super inspiring to remember that for the faithful, judgment means vindication and ultimate justice!

I hope each and every one of you all have a safe and blessed day. Please remember that the two greatest commandments God gave us are: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, & with all your mind. The second is Love your neighbor as yourself.

Thank you for visiting my page, I Can't, but I know a guy. This January, let's share this page with someone that you care about. The next book we are going to this morning, 01/27/2026, is my 'Jesus First..'

**Here is the original text from the Devotional:**
**LIVING FOR SELF**
He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. (2 Corinthians 5:15 NLT)

What wakes us up in the morning? What is the inspiration behind our rising, working, and choosing to rest? When we live for ourselves, we might be generous and kind, but ultimately, we use those things to improve ourselves. We do these things because we know it is good for us. Even when we do all the right things, the heart can have a selfish outlook.

Christ "died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves." Even without a reward, we aim for virtue for the love of Christ. We should have deep within us the desire to live for Christ. Any Christian man who lives for himself, even while trying to be virtuous, will find himself burned out and unsatisfied. His virtue has to be built on a foundation of selfless love, otherwise it will not persevere.

Oh Jesus, I am all for You. In my virtue and my life, I live for You. I dedicate this day to Your glory and the grace You have shown me.

**Here is my view on breakdown of the devotional:**
Wow, this devotional for today, "Living for Self," really hits home, doesn't it? It's such a powerful reminder that our purpose isn't about us, it's about Christ! It makes you really think about *why* you do what you do. Are we genuinely serving and living for Him, or are our actions, even the good ones, secretly serving our own desires? That part about selfless love being the only foundation for true virtue? Absolutely spot on! It reminds us that living for Christ isn't a burden, but the ultimate freedom from that constant cycle of seeking satisfaction in ourselves. It's truly inspiring to dedicate our lives and our very being to His glory.

I hope each and every one of you all have a safe and blessed day. Please remember that God loves every one of you and the way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ.

Original Text:
Philippians 4:6 (as provided):
"Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation through prayer and petition with Thanksgiving, tell your request to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus."

Hey team! Let's dive into this amazing verse from Philippians 4:6 for a quick, uplifting devotional. It's a reminder that God is with us in every moment, turning our worries into peace. I'll break it down step by step, keep it short and sweet for our group chat, and end with a positive challenge. 😊

1. **The Core Message: "Do not be anxious about anything."**
This is our starting point—God doesn't want us to stress or worry over life's challenges, big or small. In a world full of uncertainty, this verse is like a gentle hug, saying, "You've got this because I'm got you." It's uplifting because it shifts our focus from fear to faith. Imagine carrying a heavy backpack of worries; this tells us we can set it down at God's feet.

2. **The Action Step: "Instead, in every situation through prayer and petition with Thanksgiving, tell your request to God."**

Here's the "how"—whenever anxiety creeps in, we respond with prayer. "Petition" means humbly asking God for what we need, and "with Thanksgiving" reminds us to thank Him for what He's already done. It's not just about listing problems; it's about coming to God with a grateful heart. This part is so encouraging because it shows prayer isn't a last resort—it's our first line of defense! For example, if you're stressed about work or family, pause and chat with God about it, ending with thanks for His love.

3. **The Promise: "And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus."**
This is the best part—the payoff! God's peace isn't like regular calm; it's a supernatural guard that protects our hearts and minds, even when things don't make sense. It's like having a spiritual shield that keeps anxiety at bay. This verse reminds us that through Jesus, we get a peace that goes beyond logic, helping us face any storm with hope. Isn't that amazing? It's a promise we can claim every day!

**Why This Verse Uplifts Us:**
In a nutshell, Philippians 4:6 is a game-changer for our daily lives. It turns worry into worship and fear into faith, reminding us that we're not alone. Let's use this as fuel to start our day with positivity—God is faithful, and His peace is real!

**Quick Challenge for the Group:**
Today, let's all try this: When you feel anxious, stop and pray—tell God your requests with a thankful heart. Share in the chat how it went! I'll go first: "God, thank You for this group and Your peace—help me with [my request]." Who's with me? 🙏✨ May God's peace guard your hearts today

Here is my view on breakdown of the Sunday School notes from Home Town Baptist Church in Leesburg Florida lead by Pastor Clint Patterson:

I love how it dives straight into 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 and reminds us that true freedom in Christ isn't about doing whatever we want; it's about making choices that honor Him. The Big Idea is spot-on: our spiritual decisions ripple into our physical lives and right back again, showing us that everything is connected in God's perfect design. I especially appreciate the Teaching Points, which challenge us to shift from a "Can I?" mindset to a "Does this glorify God?" one—it's such a powerful way to encourage self-reflection and growth. And don't even get me started on the emphasis on being led by the Holy Spirit; it's a gentle nudge that change might be tough, but it leads to incredible growth and a life that stands out for His glory. This lesson from Home Town Baptist Church isn't just informative—it's inspiring and practical, helping us live wisely and moderately in a world full of temptations. If you're feeling stuck in your faith journey, give this one a read—it's like a heartfelt chat with a friend who wants the best for you!

I hope each and every one of you all have a safe and blessed day. Please remember that God loves every one of you and the way to Heaven is through Jesus Chris

**Sunday School Notes**

**Text:** 1 Corinthians 6:12–20

**Key Theme**
“Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.”

⸻

**Big Idea**
What we do spiritually affects us physically, which in turn affects us spiritually. There is always a connection.

⸻

**Scripture Connections**
• 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 – Freedom with responsibility
• Romans 6 – Grace abused is not grace
• Romans 12:1–2 – Not if we change, but when
• Colossians 3:1 – Raised up with Christ

⸻

**Teaching Points**
• Freedom in Christ is not permission to indulge the flesh.
• Overindulgence (for example: food, habits, behaviors) reveals a deeper issue.
• A worldly mindset asks: “Can I?”
• A Christ-centered mindset asks: “Does this honor God?”
“Think: Would a worldly mind do this—or is this of Christ?”

⸻

**Body, Mind, and Spirit**
• God gave us reason, discernment, and judgment.
• Enjoyment is allowed—in moderation.
• We are called to be:
• Careful
• Wise
• Self-controlled

⸻

**Sexual Immorality (Restraint)**
• Our bodies matter to God.
• Sexual sin is not just physical—it is spiritual.
• Think through the Ten Commandments as guardrails, not restrictions.

⸻

**Being Led by the Holy Spirit**
• We must allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in everything we do.
• When the Holy Spirit takes over, it often leads us down a different path.
• Change can be hard—but it produces:
• Growth
• God’s glory
• A life that looks different from the world

⸻

**Key Summary Points**
• We often wrongly categorize things as “worldly = bad.”
• God created good things—misuse is the problem.
• Enjoy life wisely and in moderation.
• When faced with a difficult decision:
• Pause
• Pray
• Ask what glorifies God—not self

Please brake down the message and give an open biblical positive opinion about the following devotional

Day 1: Enoch Still Speaks

Scripture:

"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints."
— Jude 1:14 (KJV)

We've read Jude's bold proclamation before, yet the source of that quote quietly vanishes from our modern Bibles. There is no Book of Enoch in the King James Version, yet Jude clearly references it, not as folklore or myth, but as prophetic truth. It's a verse that demands an answer: where did this come from?

The answer lies not in a forgotten scroll, but in a living canon still held sacred in Ethiopia. The Book of Enoch has never been lost there. In Ge'ez manuscripts copied and preserved by faithful hands, Enoch's words have endured. He speaks of a coming judgment, of angels and watchers, of the Son of Man enthroned in glory. His voice rings out not in vague mystery but in vivid clarity. And he doesn't just talk about future wrath—he walks with God.

In a time when wickedness filled the earth, Enoch chose to walk in step with the Divine. He was not carried by the current of corruption but drawn upward by intimacy with the Almighty. His life wasn't about loud declarations but quiet, unwavering faith. That's what gave power to his prophecy. That's what made his voice worth preserving.

Today, Enoch still speaks. Not just in Ethiopia, but to every heart that's willing to listen. His story reminds us that before platforms, pulpits, and polished doctrines, there was a man who walked with God. And that walk became a witness.

May your life echo his. Walk with God—not just in public worship, but in your private decisions. Choose righteousness even when the world doesn't. Let your quiet obedience preach louder than any sermon. Because in the end, it's not just about knowing what's written. It's about walking with the One who speaks.

Declaration: I choose today to walk with God like Enoch did. Even when the world grows darker, my steps will move in light. Let my life become a witness, my walk a prophecy.

01/26/2026

My Heavenly Father, I come to You in prayer right now, asking for a hedge of protection around everyone reading this today. Please enter their lives, show them Your love, and protect them and their families. Bring them safely home after their day of work, bless them with fruitfulness, and let them enjoy the fruits of Your goodness. In Your Son Jesus Christ’s name I pray.

Happy end of the week, friends — a new week is just hours away! I’m so excited for tomorrow’s Sunday School at Home Town Baptist in Leesburg, FL. It’s one of my favorite times — Pastor Clint Patterson leads an open discussion where everyone can chime in, and we dig deeper into our answers. Then we have a meaningful service where he preaches the Bible, not opinions. Our group may be small, but it’s full of love — it feels like family, just like growing up in the foothills of Tennessee. Hope to see you there!

I would like to give a shout out to my beautiful wife, Katrina Barnes, where she and I will be having our 26th year anniversary…. I love you Pumpkin!!!!

(Luke 6:27–36, from my Ethiopian Bible)

27 But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you. 29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well; and to the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your possessions back from the person who takes them away. 31 Treat others in the same way that you would want them to treat you. 32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners so that they may be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Last night at Hometown Baptist we had an open discussion on Luke 6:27–36.

Luke 6:27–36 — Forgiveness, Love, and Strength under Control

Key truth: Forgiveness
- We were enemies of God before we were saved, yet He still forgave and loved us.
- God’s forgiveness is not based on our worthiness but on His mercy.

Jesus’ teaching: Love beyond reaction
- “Turn the other cheek” goes beyond physical action — it includes insults, rejection, and offense.
- The call is not to escalate conflict but to respond with a spiritual posture of grace.

Important clarification: Love ≠ no boundaries
- We are called to forgive, not to remain in harm.
- Forgiveness can coexist with healthy boundaries.
- You can release bitterness while still protecting your heart and safety.

Christlike response
- Jesus models restraint, mercy, and love in the face of suffering.
- This is not weakness — it is strength under control.
- Two extremes to avoid:
- Retaliation and vengeance
- Passive acceptance of abuse

The balance
- Christlike love means:
- Choosing peace over winning
- Absorbing offense without returning it
- Acting from obedience, not emotion

Practical application
- Prioritize peace: choose to be a peacemaker, even when it costs pride or comfort.
- Love your enemies actively: pray for them and desire their good; this does not mean tolerating abuse.
- Focus on being right with God, not winning the fight: our goal is faithfulness, not self-defense at all costs.

Takeaway
Forgiveness is not weakness; it is Christlike strength exercised with wisdom, mercy, and boundaries.

My take of last night:
This passage calls for a disciplined, countercultural love that protects the vulnerable while refusing retaliation. Practically, apply these teachings case-by-case as Clint Patterson, our Preacher was explaining: extend mercy where possible, set clear boundaries where necessary, and evaluate outcomes by faithfulness to Christ rather than immediate results or public approval.

We are in two worlds. The physical world and a spiritual world. As Christians, we need to stay focused on the spiritual world where we can do our heavenly father’s will. Even though if somebody wrong with us instead of getting payback by a form of retaliation, God wants us to show mercy and love. when we forgive somebody, it’s not necessarily to make them feel better, it is to forgive and give God the pain that has occurred to us. This will let our interlight glow as we are doing what Jesus did when he walked on the Earth. What betrayal was ever done to us is nothing like the betrayal Jesus went through on the cross. And what was his final words before his spirit was let up? Forgive them, father who they do not know.

I hope each and everyone of you has a safe and blessed day.
