Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy your day! We left off talking about the passages below. Lord willing next week we will resume with this thought: did Sarah laugh because of joy or unbelief? God Bless You All !!

“And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also? And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭9‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Do not be in a hurry in the laying on of hands [giving the sanction of the church too hastily in reinstating expelled offenders or in ordination in questionable cases], nor share or participate in another man's sins; keep yourself pure.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“None other name”
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“The only way”
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!

Jesus Christ is Lord of all to the glory of God the Father!

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Jesus Christ!!

Have you ever heard someone say that they were blessed and highly favored? Really? How does it look be blessed and highly favored? To some that means they have increase in material goods or wealth. Ok so are the ungodly that have these things blessed and highly favored? They have more stuff. What does God’s word say? “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬
So far I don’t see anything about being blessed because of stuff. “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬, ‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Need I say more? Obviously if you think you’re blessed and highly favored because your bills are paid or you’re not being persecuted or you’re living the “good life” you may want to reexamine your relationship with God. Not that you can’t have all these things you certainly can it’s more about priorities. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Something to think about.

Did you know that some people can do things that other people can’t? It’s all about what you know. Here’s a statement: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Grace does not cover willful sin. Jesus said this about it: “And that servant, which knew his Lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭47‬-‭48‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“And that servant which knew the Lord’s will” that didn’t do according to HIS will obviously they did their own will it’s sin. I know few actually hear truth but this is what the word of God says. “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Everyone needs to hear the good news of the gospel. Given that statement Shelter accepts all friend requests regardless of belief, nationally or creed. We know the truth that liberates. “and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Just as sin blocks you from relationship with God it will also get you blocked from Shelter. Any explicit activity on Shelter’s feed will be blocked and unfriended. Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins however it is not a license to continue in sin. “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬
So many are taught how to give but not how to live!

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

10/20/2024

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Shelter will not broadcast today. Lord willing we will continue the Gospel of John chapter 12 next week!
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We consider earthly things precious to us but when we consider what is really important those things aren’t so important after all. What do you consider important?
“But whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as [one combined] loss for Christ's sake. Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
