Now if we can just love people who don’t love us we will know what it is to be God’s child.
That love comes from our Lord and is not earthly, but His love is of His divine nature, freely given to even those who do not love us.
Jesus’ love.
🌈❤️❤️❤️🌈
How Wonderful!!’
1John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Just a heads up.
The Coffee Pot gets three donations a week, never know what’s coming but the Lord does wonderfully and has always supplied any need. I thank Him.
He sends through many means. It’sca great joyful walk to see the Lord in His cb provisions and if on the low side over years it’s such a delight as you can’t miss His kindnesses.

The need at many pantries has increased as funds and helps are lowered to folks.

Two precious ladies consistantly help us with pantry needs besides our regular pick ups snd a precious brother too.
And at least one of those pantries is getting short due to less available and more folks coming.

So dearhearts I’m asking if you are able and at the store, these are the needs at that pantry.

Tuna
Top ramen
Crackers
pudding cups
cereal
Instant oatmeal
chili
canned chicken
ground beef

Love you all so dearly! Thank you!

God bless your week so wonderfully in His presence, love, and in all needs and healing.

Thank You Lord Jesus!

Please lift in your prayers a dear brother in our Lord who asks for prayer for his daughter and grandbaby she is expecting that there be healing and care of Jesus for this little one and that there be no complications with this child’s health.

Thank You Lord!

We ask this dear Lord Jesus in Your precious name.
Healing and well being.
That this little one be formed perfectly whole as You have made them and seen them before they were formed in their momma’s womb.

Thank You dear Lord for Your presence, love and care upon the little one. And for momma and family.
In Jesus’ dearest name we ask.
Amen.

Thank you all for your prayers. Love you.💗💗💗

Hi Sweethearts-

Okay, this is so strong in me that I’m going to go with it again.

I’ve started in the past and quit- my loss for that season, but I see such a need for the Word of God to be a part of our every day lives, walking with our Lord Jesus.

Every single day living in the Word of God that has been planted in us by hearing and reading and meditating on the Word of God in the Bible.

So I want to start a daily read of one chapter of the Bible each day, Monday through Friday, whatever time I have available, it will be on my page, and will be, Lord willing, one chapter each day shared and at the end of that chapter study a brief teaching if the Lord has given something specific and if it is a different area of the Bible, I’ll ask you to jot the verses and reread them on your own plus I will ask you to reread the chapter read on your own a couple of times.

Now that doesn’t make you stuck in a commitment but if you do that I can pretty well assure you that no labor goes unrewarded and you will grow in your walk and handling the Word of God by the Holy Spirit as it becomes a part of you and the Lord brings it to recall.

One chapter a day.
Read more as you begin to hunger for the Word.

So we’re going to think of a garden.

You, (we) are that precious Garden that belongs to Jesus.

Let’s clean out the old dry brush, weeds, whatever, and put in Scripture seeds, planting the new in your garden.

The old weeds and brush in our minds and thoughts, mouths and emotions and replant the soil of our lives with good and precious God breathed Words of God.

I assure you if you do this, you will start a garden to eat wholesome God breathed Words from and have seeds and fruit to share with othersby the Holy Spirit that is truly fragrant.

See you Monday!

The Lord is so Good!!!
I think sometimes He is a humorist showing Himself in such sweet kind ways.
Our finances are like so many around us in that ours comes once a month so I wanted to have tacoes and chips and cheese, etc for the folks that knock at the door or those stopping by but needed to watch what I spend. The Lord has provided so kindly so I knew we could make tacos with spiced meat and cheese but when we picked up this morning what do you think! Gordon and I just smile and get tickled, we know it’s Jesus providing in a soecial way.
There was the chips, lots, I wanted for the nachos, lots of salsa, burritos, and that with the meat and taco spice already abundantly supplied, the Lord provided a Mexican fiesta for those coming by, plus lots of small pizzas for a treat in the food boxes, which seem to be needed these days. We understand and many new faces.
Thank You Lord!! You are so Good to all who call on your Name!

First day back to the Coffee Pot and a sweet blessing today.

I felt kind of weak going in but thank You Lord, flew through the day no problem. Gordy insisted we go home rather than stay late to not overdo. I’m thankful for my husband.
That was wisdom.

We had a b peaceful sweet Bible study. So nice. Like being with family. Folks there because they wanted to study the Word of God. Loved this time together.

and fed quite a few folks today, lots to goes.
We prayed with several folks, T passed out necklace crosses so everyone on the porch was wearing a cross, so thankful to see them all wanting one, and all got prayed for together.

The Lord’s love was so present. A slower day but a busy day.
So glad to be back.

Lunch was so easy to throw together this morning. We had a big pick up earlier in the morning so a quick cook was dearly appreciated.

3lbs hambuger in the oven and crunched up and bl cooked and drained,
a couple big cans rotel original diced tomatoes and green chilis all put in, five cans of light red kidney beans drained and 2 med cans tomato sauce with a good sprinkle of garlic. Made a chili everyone like served with green beans and mini crossants sprayed with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic.
turnovers for dessert.

Couple of folks stocked up with pantry items, alot went out for a gelled down day, felt good and thank You Lord there was plenty including milk, juice, eggs and frozen and canned meat plus canned food and cereals. (Thank You Lord Jesus for Your many many many provisions💗💗💗) and thank you Bob Kins for yours and dear Vida’s help and all you do and send.
Made such a difference today, there was no lack for needs, thank you Lord Jesus!

And thank you both so dearly.
God bless you both as I know He does!

Thank you also Jana Thorup and Dana Hundley!
What Sweethearts! Thank you both for dropping off so much and thank you Jodi also!!! Whatever we needed for folks was there.
Thank you all. You are darlings.

Thank You Lord for everything!!!

My version of humor. I bought napkins the other day to take in to the Cpot, but thinking I probably didn’t need to buy them as when we need something it shows up. So I was taking my napkins in today and sure enough there were a couple of packs of napkins. Plenty.
Thank You dearest Lord Jesus!!!

I want to put out a bit of a warning to folks about false teachings.

I see so much probably because of where we are situated at the Cpot.

I was looking at some reels on facebook this week and though I didn’t listen to it except the opening statements that started with a really false teaching and began to back it with different Scriptures and it reminded me of what had come up at the Cpot again recently.

They said on the reel that God doesn’t love sinners.
That He hates sin and hates the sinner.
That is so far from the truth.

We’d all be in dire trouble if that were true.

I won’t go any further on that except to say, God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus that whosoever believes on Him won’t perish but have eternal life.

Gordon and I said at the same time, after that reel , we’re all chiefest of sinners and if we think we aren’t we just haven’t seen well yet.

I know it has always been God’s wonderful presence of Love that came and drew me to Him.

And still He does this, not only to me, but in and through me to others.

God in us. What a wonderful life He has given to us so wholly undeserved.
To see the Lord in our lives and in other’s lives! To really get to know God!! Thank You Jesus!!!
For all that You have done!!!

So I’m mentioning this reel as that teaching kind of visited the Coffee Pot last month and does pretty often.

Usually it comes from some deep hurt that a person can’t let go of or a false teaching that is not being let go of.

Amazing how prevalent this stuff is.

Then seeing it on facebook it seemed like a good idea to mention that no matter what state anybody is in, God’s love is deeper,wider, higher and way more able than our limitedness.

You don’t have to entertain devils or put yourself in harm’s way but we don’t need to think we can judge whether a person will or can be saved.

We’re not here to judge those on the outside but to be Jesus’ presence here to others that they might be saved.

And that takes dying to our self life, so that the resurrected life of Jesus’ Holy Spirit can move through us, that the Lord’s life can be seen and draw folks to Himself.

Love, kindness, mercy, forgiveness, Him, to draw folks homeward to Himself, to God, just like He did for us.

Jesus clearly said, He did not come to condemn the world but to save it.

I think unforgiveness of a person or persons affects so much more than we can imagine.

When we can’t get over some slight or harm or terrible pain someone caused and just think we can’t let it go and are unable to discern the captivity of the people possessed and the devil moving on them, well then it is hard to let go.

We’re not forgiving the devil, they are already condemned by God to eternal damnation, we are obeying Jesus to forgive and He will bring us healing, to set us free and forgive us and that possibly the person used for such pain might be set free of their prison and be saved.

It is not okaying the act of injustice or pain or harm. Nothing to do with that. It is setting ourselves free from satan’s bo***ge of pain and unforgiveness by the power of the Holy Spirit and setting the person, ourselves, people, church, job, or anyone free that the curse be gone and possibly a life change in salvation can occur and healing through forgiveness.

Our business is just to seek the Lord to be set free and set others free.
God has the rest.

It can be a leaven of unforgiveness foaming up like a yeast to where ever we take it, whatever we speak or to others that remind us of some slight in our past. Some person that harmed us.
Jesus is in the business of healing and redeeming broken and destroyed lives.
Ours and others.

The best bet for any unforgiveness of someone if you can’t forgive is go to Jesus with it because He can heal any wound having suffered so many on the cross.

It may take going to the Lord to bring about a deep healing of forgiving. He is able.
We have to choose, and He is well able to get through what we ourselves cannot do.

God doesn’t love sin but He does love people.
And we’re all sinners saved by God’s grace.

I had a bit of a ruckus last month with a young woman trying to bring this ‘they don’t deserve it’, into the Bible study and when not allowed to teach that, it was interlaced constantly and repeated over and over then I finally had to say something.

This stuff is really not new.
Oddly especially with folks thinking they are called to teach this stuff.

Nothing new under the sun.

Better a short scene than to have someone put on the role of a teacher without having the belt of Truth in place.

We are responsible for folks that come to hear the Word of God that that’s what we want them to hear.
The Scriptures and the daily application of the Bible in our lives.

I don’t have near the difficulty with local folks hungry for the Word as I do with folks wanting to teach and not knowing the Scriptures.
Folks compelled to share opinions.
But opinion is not needful, nor is it trust worthy, it’s destructive.

It is in hearing God’s Word that is utterly needful, and if handled correctly it is God’s Word that can daily guide us safely as we hear the Word of God through Scriptures and put it into practice.
