Romans 1:28-32

28 "People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking. And so they do what they should not do.

29 They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip

30 and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents,

31 they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others.

32 They know God’s law says that anyone who lives like that should die. But they not only continue to do these things themselves, but they also encourage others who do them."

Romans 2:1-11

Let God Be the Judge
​
1 "So do you think that you can judge those other people? You are wrong. You too are guilty of sin. You judge them, but you do the same things they do. So when you judge them, you are really condemning yourself.

2 God judges all who do such things, and we know his judgment is right.

3 And since you do the same things as those people you judge, surely you understand that God will punish you too. How could you think you would be able to escape his judgment

4 God has been kind to you. He has been very patient, waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don’t understand that God is kind to you so that you will decide to change your lives.

5 But you are so stubborn! You refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment greater and greater. You will be punished on the day when God will show his anger. On that day everyone will see how right God is to judge people.

6 He will reward or punish everyone for what they have done.

7 Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that cannot be destroyed. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give eternal life to them.

8 But others are selfish and refuse to follow truth. They follow evil. God will show his anger and punish them.

9 He will give trouble and suffering to everyone who does evil—to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.

10 But he will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good—to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.

​11 God judges everyone the same. It doesn’t matter who they are."

​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

Galatians 5:13-15

13 "My brothers and sisters, God chose you to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful selves. Instead, serve each other with love.

14 The whole law is made complete in this one command: “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.”

15 If you continue hurting each other and tearing each other apart, be careful, or you will completely destroy each other."

Galatians 5:19-25

19 "The wrong things the sinful self does are clear: committing sexual sin, being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things,

20 worshiping false gods, taking part in witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, being jealous, angry or selfish, causing people to argue and divide into separate groups,

21 being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and doing other things like this. I warn you now as I warned you before: The people who do these things will not have a part in God’s kingdom. 

22 But the fruit that the Spirit produces in a person’s life is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these kinds of things.

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their sinful self. They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do.

25 We get our new life from the Spirit, so we should follow the Spirit.

​26 We must not feel proud and boast about ourselves. We must not cause trouble for each other or be jealous of each other."

Romans 12:1-21

Give Your Lives to God

1 "So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.

2 Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.

3 God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us.

4 Each one of us has one body, and that body has many parts. These parts don’t all do the same thing.

5 In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.

6 We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace God gave us. Whoever has the gift of prophecy should use that gift in a way that fits the kind of faith they have.

7 Whoever has the gift of serving should serve. Whoever has the gift of teaching should teach.

8 Whoever has the gift of comforting others should do that. Whoever has the gift of giving to help others should give generously. Whoever has the gift of leading should work hard at it. Whoever has the gift of showing kindness to others should do it gladly.

9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good.

10 Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honor than you give yourself.

11 As you serve the Lord, work hard and don’t be lazy. Be excited about serving him!

12 Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time.

13 Share with God’s people who need help. Look for people who need help and welcome them into your homes.

14 Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them.

15 When others are happy, you should be happy with them. And when others are sad, you should be sad too.

16 Live together in peace with each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.

17 If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right.

18 Do the best you can to live in peace with everyone. 

​19 My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says,

'I am the one who punishes;
    I will pay people back.'

20 But you should do this:

'If you have enemies who are hungry,
    give them something to eat.
If you have enemies who are thirsty,
    give them something to drink.
In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.'

21 Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good."

​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

​Jude 1:17-23

17 "Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen.

18 They told you, 'In the last times there will be people who laugh at God and do only what they want to do—things that are against God.'

19 These are the people who divide you. They are not spiritual, because they don’t have the Spirit.

20 But you, dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up even stronger. Pray with the help of the Holy Spirit.

21 Keep yourselves safe in God’s love, as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.

22 Help those who have doubts.

​23 Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire. There are others you should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives don’t rub off on you."

Psalm 1

1 "Great blessings belong to those
    who don’t listen to evil advice,

who don’t live like sinners,
    and who don’t join those who make fun of God.

​2 Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings
    and think about them day and night.

3 So they grow strong,
    like a tree planted by a stream--

a tree that produces fruit when it should
    and has leaves that never fall.

Everything they do is successful.

4 But the wicked are not like that.

    They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty.
​
    Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.

6 The Lord shows his people how to live,
    but the wicked have lost their way."
 
Isaiah 3

10 "Tell the good people who do what is right that good things will happen to them. They will receive a reward for what they do.

11 But it will be very bad for wicked people, because they, too, will get what they deserve. They will get what they did to others.
​
12 Even children will defeat my people, and women will rule over them.

My people, your guides lead you the wrong way, and they destroy the path you should follow."

​Recently, God has been pulling me toward Repentance and Judgment. Which side will you be on?

Matthew 7:7-28

Be Careful About Criticizing Others​

1 "Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you.

2 If you judge others, you will be judged the same way you judge them. God will treat you the same way you treat others.

3 Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood that is in your own?

4 Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye.

5 You are a hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye.

​6 Don’t give something that is holy to dogs. They will only turn and hurt you. And don’t throw your pearls to pigs. They will only step on them.

Ask God for What You Need

7 Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you.

8 Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them.

9 Do any of you have a son? If he asked for bread, would you give him a rock?

10 Or if he asked for a fish, would you give him a snake? Of course not!

11 You people are so bad, but you still know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father will give good things to those who ask him.

A Very Important Rule

12 Do for others what you would want them to do for you. This is the meaning of the Law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.

The Way to Heaven and the Way to Hell

13 You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way.

14 But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it.

What People Do Shows What They Are

15 Be careful of false prophets. They come to you and look gentle like sheep. But they are really dangerous like wolves.

16 You will know these people because of what they do. Good things don’t come from people who are bad, just as grapes don’t come from thorn bushes, and figs don’t come from thorny weeds.

17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, and bad trees produce bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 

20 You will know these false people by what they do. 

21 Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 

22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles. 

23 Then I will tell those people clearly, Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.

Two Kinds of People

24 Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. 

25 It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. But it did not fall because it was built on rock. 

26 Whoever hears these teachings of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 

27 It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. And it fell with a loud crash. 

28 When Jesus finished speaking, the people were amazed at his teaching. 

29 He did not teach like their teachers of the law. He taught like someone who has authority."

Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

Hebrews 4:12

“God’s word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. It cuts deep to the place where the soul and the spirit are joined. God’s word cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. It judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.”

Proverbs 4:20-22

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”

6 The Lord shows his people how to live, but the wicked have lost their way."
 
2 Timothy 3:1-5 

Many People Will Stop Loving God

1 “Remember this: There are some terrible times coming in the last days. 

2 People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud and boast about themselves. They will abuse others with insults. They will not obey their parents. They will be ungrateful and against all that is pleasing to God. 

3 They will have no love for others and will refuse to forgive anyone. They will talk about others to hurt them and will have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 

4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things without thinking and will be so proud of themselves. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. 

5 They will go on pretending to be devoted to God, but they will refuse to let that “devotion” change the way they live. Stay away from these people!”

Matthew 18:18  - “I can assure you that when you speak judgment here on earth, it will be God’s judgment. And when you promise forgiveness here on earth, it will be God’s forgiveness."

1 John 2:15-17  

15 "Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever."

Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

​MATTHEW 3:14-17

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River. He came to John, wanting John to baptize him. But John tried to stop him. John said, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I should be baptized by you!”

Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do whatever God says is right.” Then John agreed. So Jesus was baptized. As soon as he came up out of the water, the sky opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove. A voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.”
 
Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert. He was taken there to be tempted by the devil. Jesus ate nothing for 40 days and nights. After this, he was very hungry.
 
The devil came to tempt him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these rocks to become bread.” Jesus answered him, “The Scriptures say, ‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive. Their lives depend on what God says.’”

Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area. He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump off, because the Scriptures say, ‘God will command his angels to help you, and their hands will catch you, so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
 
Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the wonderful things in them. The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.” Jesus said to him,

Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say, You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!
 
​So the devil left him. Then some angels came to Jesus and helped him."

​Eternal Father, You made the whole World stop spinning for awhile.

You silenced the noise that we all have created.

You made us bend our knees again and ask for a Miracle.

You closed Your Churches so we will realize how dark our World is without You in it.

You humbled the proud and powerful.

The economy is crashing,

Businesses are closing.

We were very proud. We thought that everything we have,

everything we possess, was the result of our hard work.

We have forgotten that it was always Your grace and mercy that made us who we are.

We’re running in circles looking for some cure to this disease, when in fact we need to humble ourselves and ask You for guidance and wisdom.

We’ve been living our lives like we will be here on Earth forever, like there’s no Heaven.

Maybe these trials are Your mercy in disguise.

Maybe this virus is actually Your way of purifying us and
cleansing our soul, bringing us back to YOU.

Today as these words travel the internet, may all who see them join their hearts and hands together in prayer! Asking for forgiveness and asking for healing and protection from this virus...GOD just wipe it from the Earth!

Father You have been patiently waiting for us. We’re so sorry for ignoring Your voice... and in our selfish ways, we've sometimes forgotten that YOU are GOD!

You only need to say the words and our souls shall all be healed. We ask these things in Jesus' name! Amen

​Me: Hey God.

God: Hello.....

Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?

God: I would rather not.

Me: Why?

God: Because you aren't a puzzle.

Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?

God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.

Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!

God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.

Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?

God: Only the very best pieces of you.

Me: I'm scared of changing.

God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!

Me: Becoming who?

God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.

Me: There goes another piece.

God: Yep. Let it be.

Me: So ... I'm not broken?

God: Of course Not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day. Become!!!

​Matthew 1 and 2

Jesus the Messiah came from the family of David, who was from the family of Abraham. His family history is 42 generations.
 
Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.
 
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother Mary was engaged to marry Joseph. But before they married, he learned that she was expecting a baby. (She was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.) Mary’s husband, Joseph, was a good man. He did not want to cause her public disgrace, so he planned to divorce her secretly. But after Joseph thought about this, an angel from the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to accept Mary to be your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son. You will name him Jesus. Give him that name because he will save his people from their sins.”
 
All this happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Lord said through the prophet: “The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel.” (Immanuel means “God with us.”)
 
When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord’s angel told him to do. He married Mary. But Joseph did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And he named him Jesus. Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. After Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. They asked people, “Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him.”
 
When King Herod heard about this, it upset him as well as everyone else in Jerusalem. Herod called a meeting of all the leading Jewish priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the Messiah would be born.  They answered, “In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, just as the prophet wrote:
 
‘Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    you are important among the rulers of Judah.
Yes, a ruler will come from you,
    and that ruler will lead Israel, my people.’
 
Then Herod had a private meeting with the wise men from the east. He learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, “Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too.”
 
After the wise men heard the king, they left. They saw the same star they had seen in the east, and they followed it. The star went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was. They were very happy and excited to see the star. The wise men came to the house where the child was with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened the boxes of gifts they had brought for him. They gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 
 
But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home to their own country a different way. After the wise men left, an angel from the Lord came to Joseph in a dream. The angel said, “Get up! Take the child with his mother and escape to Egypt. Herod wants to kill the child and will soon start looking for him. Stay in Egypt until I tell you to come back.”
 
So Joseph got ready and left for Egypt with the child and the mother. They left during the night. Joseph stayed in Egypt until Herod died. This gave full meaning to what the Lord said through the prophet: “I called my son to come out of Egypt.”
 
Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him, and he was very angry. So he gave an order to kill all the baby boys in Bethlehem and the whole area around Bethlehem. Herod had learned from the wise men the time the baby was born. It was now two years from that time. So he said to kill all the boys who were two years old and younger. This gave full meaning to what God said through the prophet Jeremiah:

'A sound was heard in Ramah--
    bitter crying and great sadness.
Rachel cries for her children,
    and she cannot be comforted,
    because her children are gone.'
 
While Joseph was in Egypt, Herod died. An angel from the Lord came to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the child with his mother and go to Israel. Those who were trying to kill the child are now dead.” So Joseph took the child and the mother and went to Israel. But he heard that Archelaus was now king in Judea. Archelaus became king when his father Herod died. So Joseph was afraid to go there.
 
Then, after being warned in a dream, he went away to the area of Galilee. He went to a town called Nazareth and lived there. This gave full meaning to what God said through the prophets. God said the Messiah would be called a Nazarene.

​Amen!

"Live together in peace with each other."

​Proverbs 25:21 - "Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good."

ROMANS 12:14-20

14 "Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them.

15 When others are happy, you should be happy with them. And when others are sad, you should be sad too.

16 Live together in peace with each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.

17 If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right.

18 Do the best you can to live in peace with everyone.

19 My friends don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with His anger. In the scripture it says, “I am the one who punishes. I will pay people back.

20 But you should do this: 'If you have enemies who are hungry, give them something to eat. If you have enemies who are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will make them feel ashamed.'"

Praise Yeshua! Amen!

ALL OF THE PRESIDENT'S MEN

"ALL OF THE PRESIDENT'S MEN" AUDIO BLOG

​It's easy to get caught up in the darkness around us. We are better served staying focused on the Holy Bible, the Word of the One True God. Even though the lure of satan is powerful, keep going back to the Word.

Recently, God pulled me to the Book of Daniel. I was feeling conflicted by all of the bad news, and I prayed for Yahweh to show me His path for me, the best way that I can spread His news. I picked up the Holy Bible and prayed for Him to show me the scripture to read today. Then, I closed my eyes and opened the Bible to the Book of Daniel. 

Daniel 6:2-7

2 "And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions."

Is this not what is going on right now in our world? And, also, Pastors being arrested for holding sermons? God's Plan is in action, and the only way to know it is to read His Word.

I pray that He opens our hearts to His Word, and banishes satan from our minds. Amen!

THE MIRACLES OF JESUS

​We know that Jesus performed miracles so that many would see them and believe and follow him.
 
John 20:29 - "Jesus said to him, “You believe because you see me. Great blessings belong to the people who believe without seeing me!”

Matthew 8 and 9
 
One day, Jesus, the son of God, went to Peter’s house. He saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began to serve him.
 
That evening people brought to Jesus many people who had demons inside them. He spoke and the demons left the people. He healed all those who were sick. 
 
So, Jesus made clear the full meaning of what Isaiah the prophet said:

“He took away our diseases
    and carried away our sicknesses.”
 
After that, Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarene people. There, two men who had demons inside them came to him. They lived in the burial caves and were so dangerous that no one could use the road by those caves.
 
They came to Jesus and shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to punish us before the right time?”
 
Near that place there was a large herd of pigs feeding. The demons begged Jesus, “If you make us leave these men, please send us into that herd of pigs.”
 
Jesus said to them, “Go!” So, the demons left the men and went into the pigs. Then the whole herd of pigs ran down the hill into the lake, and all were drowned. 
 
The men who had the work of caring for the pigs ran away. They went into town and told the people everything that happened, especially about the men who had the demons. Then the whole town went out to see Jesus. When the people saw him, they begged him to leave their area.
 
So, Jesus got into a boat and went back across the lake to his own town. Some people brought to him a man who was paralyzed and was lying on a mat. Jesus saw that these people had much faith. So, he said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, you will be glad to hear this. Your sins are forgiven.”
 
Some of the teachers of the law heard what Jesus said. They said to themselves, “What an insult to God for this man to say that!” Jesus knew what they were thinking. So, he said, “Why are you thinking such evil thoughts?
 
The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe you are thinking it was easy for me to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ There’s no proof that it really happened.
 
But what if I say to the man, ‘Stand up and walk’? Then you will be able to see that I really have this power.” So, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
 
The man stood up and went home. The people saw this and they were amazed. They praised God for letting someone have such power.
 
MATTHEW 14:14-21
 
Jesus Feeds More Than 5000
 
When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd of people. He felt sorry for them, and he healed the ones who were sick.

Late that afternoon, the followers came to Jesus and said, “No one lives in this place. And it is already late. Send the people away so they can go to the towns and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said, “The people don’t need to go away. You give them some food to eat.” The followers answered, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish.”
 
Jesus said, “Bring the bread and the fish to me.” Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to the followers, and they gave the food to the people.
 
Everyone ate until they were full. When they finished eating, the followers filled twelve baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten. There were about 5000 men there who ate. There were also women and children who ate.
 
God Bless You! Jesus Loves you, and so do I! Amen!

"If we could spread love as quickly as we spread hate and negativity, what an amazing world we would live in." WE COULD ... IF WE TRIED

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

​Let Love Be Your Guide

13 "I may speak in different languages, whether human or even of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. 

2 I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t have love, I am nothing. 

3 I may give away everything I have to help others, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain nothing by doing all this if I don’t have love.

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud.

5 Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it.

6 Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. 

7 Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.

8 Love will never end. But all those gifts will come to an end—even the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, and the gift of knowledge.

9 These will all end because this knowledge and these prophecies we have are not complete.

10 But when perfection comes, the things that are not complete will end.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways.

12 It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me.

13 So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love."

​Amen!

Romans 5:1-10

1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
​
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

​Amen!
