#314…Can we throw
stones ???

John 8:7 is the famous passage where Jesus says, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

Religious leaders brought a woman caught in adultery to JESUS, demanding she be stoned according to Mosaic Law. This was a trap to discredit HIM, as HE had to choose between upholding GOD’s law and showing HIS compassion.

JESUS didn't excuse the woman's sin, but HE forced her accusers to look at their own moral flaws and sins before condemning hers. It is a warning against self-righteous hypocrisy and harsh judgment.

My question is: where and what about the man ???🧐 What about the part he played in this situation ???
Why was he not there and why was he not stoned along with the woman ??? Unfortunately we can only speculate on this in this world. The man involved is never brought to trial or punished.

The sinless could execute punishment, JESUS highlighted that every person has failed and fallen short !!!
Let me say that again… we all have sinned and fallen short !!! We all are sinners !!!

Just because I post and speak of JESUS doesn’t make me holier 👼 than you…it just means I’m leaning on faith to get me through the day, hour and next minute and second….😔 of this day.

#313… No greater love !!!

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." — John 15:13

As Memorial Day quickly approaches we want to remember those that never even knew us but gave their lives so we might be free.
We can see that freedom does come with a cost and it’s not free. 🇺🇸

John 3:16-17
16…For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17…For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

We can also see that salvation thru JESUS was the gift from GOD but truly this gift was not free either. It cost our heavenly FATHER…HIS SON’s life on Calvary so we could be reconciled with GOD. ✝️

So as we celebrate this weekend let us never forget and honor the sacrifices that were made for us physically 🇺🇸and spiritually ✝️.

Happy Memorial Day !!!

#312…Will not be here
forever !!!

As Mother’ Day has just passed us and Memorial Day quickly approaching and then Father’s Day in June I thought this old song I ran across would be so great to share.

Exodus 20:12 (NIV): "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you."

Ephesians 6:1-3 (NIV): "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother'—which is the first commandment with a promise—'so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'"

1 Timothy 5:8 (NIV): "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

John 13:34-35 (NIV): "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Romans 12:10 (NIV): "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."

Peter 4:8 (NIV): "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

As the scriptures above teach us we are to love and respect our parents to have a long life; the scriptures also teach us to love one another above ourselves and that love covers a multitude of sins. Loving others as JESUS loved us proves we are indeed HIS disciples.

None of us are promised tomorrow 👼 is there someone in our family or even a friend or acquaintance that if they passed away in the next hour; are there things left unsaid that need to be taken care of ??? 😔

Never take anyone granted. Life goes by too fast. We need to take care of our business now not later ⏰.

#311…Part 5…Learning from
Ants ???

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know.
In this verse we can see a valuable lesson for us from the ant. The ant 🐜 never abandons their work. Can we say the same ???

Colossians 3:22–24

22 Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters,not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
What can we learn from the ant with these verses ??? 🧐
The ant as we all know works without supervision. They know what to do and are busy without being told what they need to be doing….. ouch !!! What about us ???

So, we learn so far to serve the Lord sincerely.
To labor with integrity.
To work heartily unto God.

Colossians 3:16

16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
Ants gather for the future.
We need to gather spiritual nourishment for the future.

2 Timothy 2:15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
We need to grow in doctrine.

2 Timothy 1:13.... What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
We need to guard the truth.

Remember the ants 🐜 know what to do and when without supervision and they never give up or quit on their purpose. Do we need to learn from the small GOD created ant ??? 😔

# 309…Does your light bulb
need changing ???

I ran across this and I loved it so wanted to share with all of you. 💕

Sin killed JESUS…
2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Lust kills Love…
The antidote to lust is walking in the spirit (Galatians 5:17), which produces love, self-control, and contentment.

Fear kills Faith…
Faith and fear cannot exist together. Faith is described in Hebrews 11:1 as being "certain of what we do not see."

Anger kills Gratitude…
Job 5:2 states, "For resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple". This highlights that deep-seated anger is a spiritual poison that destroys peace.

Laziness kills Purpose…
Colossians 3:23 tells us a Christian should "work with all their heart as working for the Lord". Our work is probably one of the greatest testimonies of our faith!

Distraction kills Focus…
“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.”

So we have :
Sin killed JESUS…
Lust kills Love…
Fear kills Faith…
Anger kills Gratitude…
Laziness kills Purpose…
Distraction kills Focus…

Now let’s read this backwards.

Focus kills Distraction !!!
Purpose kills Laziness !!!
Gratitude kills Anger !!!
Faith kills Fear !!!
Love kills Lust !!!
JESUS killed Sin !!!

Never let our lights stop shining whatever is going on with us…❤️

#308….Doctor Trump ???

For once in the entire history of the Kingdom Gurl I’m going to ask you to please do not comment on this post. Feel free to emoji if you like or don’t like if you wish.

This post is to not argue or start a word war. Please just read and look at this post and then go to prayer with your FATHER and let HIM speak to your heart ❤️ and yours only.

Those who know me well know I’m NOT a judgmental type person. I have my hands full keeping myself in line and obedient. 🙃🤪

I am not Catholic.
I am Christian.
I’m a sinner saved by grace and mercy only.
Received as a gift from GOD.
I’m not a left wing Democrat.
I’m not a right wing Republican.
I prefer to have both wings if I’m going to fly. 😂
I am KINGDOM 👑. I serve and worship only ONE !!! That would be GOD the FATHER, JESUS the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT !!!

If what you see is a joke I am highly offended !!!
If what you see is not a joke I am still highly offended !!!

Help me to understand the disrespect I’ve witnessed this week. Help me to understand the dishonor this week. Help me to understand how one expects respect and honor but does not give it. 🧐🤨

Of course you are entitled to your opinion as I am.
I will NOT let this pass by without letting you know I’m highly offended by the President and Vice President of our United States 🇺🇸 and anyone associated with this.
I respect and honor and pray for all high leaders as the WORD of GOD instructs me.

• 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV): "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness".

• 1 Timothy 6:10 (Contextual): Praying that leaders are kept from corruption and greed.

Please view and draw your own conclusions !!!
Much love and many prayers to each of you. ❤️🙏
Join me every Wednesday evening.
May GOD help us all.

The Kingdom Gurl
#307…. Are we smarter than the ants ???
Part 3….Unity

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.

There is great joy and blessings to be found in family and friends. We get to laugh with them, cry with them, celebrate and confide in them. If we fail and fall down, there is a friend there to help us back up. This is a blessing GOD gives us. We need this in our lives and to realize we don’t have to carry everything alone.

What has happened to our unity ??? 🧐 It seems our trust and unity has fallen away. We as people are so afraid to open up and be ourselves and are trying to be and do things all on our own when apparently GOD said we don’t have to.

The ants know they need unity to survive and can’t do anything on their own. Are ants smarter than us ? 😳

1 Corinthians 3:9 (NIV) states: "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building."
We all strive to represent GOD in positions HE places us. One of us may plant a seed for JESUS while the other waters it and then another sees the seed grow and produce. One is not more important than the other. It’s unity that makes the seed produce.

1 Corinthians 12:27 states, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it".
Differences in gifts and roles do not cause division but strengthen the body of CHRIST, ensuring all parts are necessary and honored.

Galatians 6:2
2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Community support….urging Christians to help bear the emotional, physical, or spiritual loads of others just like the ants do. 🐜
Again, are we smarter than the ants ? 🧐🤨

Romans 10:9. If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, [the women] went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen” (Luke 24:1-6).

#305…The Ant vs. Us Part 2

Proverbs 6: 1-15

1. My son, if thou be surety for thy friend,
If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2. Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,
Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,
When thou art come into the hand of thy friend;
Go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4. Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter,
And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard
Consider her ways, and be wise:
7. Which having no guide,
Overseer, or ruler,
8. Provideth her meat in the summer,
And gathereth her food in the harvest.
9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 . Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep:
11. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,
And thy want as an armed man.
12. A naughty person, a wicked man,
Walketh with a froward mouth.
13. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet,
He teacheth with his fingers;
14. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;
He soweth discord.
15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

The Seven Things God Hates (Proverbs 6:16-19):

Proverbs 6:16-19
• Haughty Eyes (Pride) An attitude of arrogance, superiority, or disdain towards others.
• A Lying Tongue: Deception, dishonesty, and purposeful untruths.
• Hands that Shed Innocent Blood: Acts of violence, murder, or cruelty against the innocent.
• A Heart that Devises Wicked Schemes: The internal plotting, planning, and meditating on evil desires.
• Feet that Rush to Evil: Being eager, swift, and quick to participate in sinful actions.
• A False Witness: Slandering or lying about others, particularly in a way that causes injustice.
• A Person Who Sows Discord/Stirs Up Conflict: Someone who creates division and strife within a community or family.

If we are busy doing what we need to do to keep ourselves in line and serving the LORD the way we should be we will have no time for the above things that the LORD hates. Let’s go talk to JESUS and tell HIM what’s on our hearts and repent. Not just saying we are sorry but to help us to repent (turn away) from what’s coming between us and JESUS !

#297….Let it go !!! ❄️❄️❄️

I was talking to a friend discussing a prior prayer request he had several years ago he was wanting help praying about. We talked about how GOD answered his prayer but not in the way he thought it would be.

If GOD had answered my friend’s prayer the way he wanted ….things would have been so messed up and so difficult. Instead GOD answered his prayer GOD’s way and everything turned out just fine.

Isn’t it so like us to ask GOD for something then want it to be answered the way we want ? 🧐 We ask GOD for HIS will to be done then expect GOD to answer our prayers our way. NO, make your prayer requests known to GOD then let it go !!! ❄️ GOD’s way is always best !!! 💟✝️

• 1 John 5:14-15 (ESV): "And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him".

• Luke 22:42 (ESV): Jesus praying in Gethsemane: "...Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done".

• Matthew 6:9-10 (ESV): "Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

Matthew 6:10, encourages praying "Your will be done," which brings confidence, spiritual growth, and alignment with GOD’s sovereign, perfect, and ultimate, good intentions. 😊
