MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, OUR HARD TIMES WILL EXPOSE WHO WE REALLY ARE DEEP DOWN INSIDE.

OUR HARD TRIALS WILL ALWAYS EXPOSE HOW MUCH WE HAVE GROWN IN THE LORD.

 ARE WE FEARFUL, WORRIED, CONFUSED, UNSURE OF OUR NEXT MOVE?

 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS KIND OF TRIAL. 
COULD BE THE DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER, OR CLOSE FRIEND. FINANCES CHANGING, OR A SICKNESS.
WERE THERE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF GOD TO SUPPORT YOU?  
WERE YOU TRYING TO GO IT ALONE AND NOT ASK FOR HELP?
JESUS SAID, ASK AND RECEIVE.

 WE ALL NEED SOMEONE WE CAN DEPEND ON IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.  SOMEONE THAT WILL STAND WITH US IN FAITH THROUGH THICK AND THIN.

 1 JOHN 3:16
BY THIS WE KNOW LOVE, BECAUSE HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US, AND WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN.

 1 JOHN 4:7-8
BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.
HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE.

 NEVER FORGET BELOVED, THAT GOD IS OUR REFUGE. HIS LOVE IS THERE TO COMFORT US.

 PSALM 46:1-3
GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE. 
THEREFORE WE WILL NOT FEAR, 
EVEN THOUGH THE EARTH BE REMOVED, AND THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS BE CARRIED INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA; THOUGH AS WATERS ROAR AND BE TROUBLED, THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS SHAKE WITH ITS SWELLING.

 YES, THE LORD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH US, BUT WE SOMETIMES NEED OUR FAMILY OR OUR EXTENDED FAMILY IN THE LORD,  TO BE THERE FOR US ALSO.

 ARE WE ANGRY,OR UPSET BECAUSE OUR FAMILY IN THE LORD HAS LET US FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.
ARE WE ALLOWING BITTERNESS TO STEAL OUR PEACE?  PEOPLE WILL FAIL US, BUT GOD NEVER WILL FAIL US.

 DON'T ALLOW YOUR EMOTIONS TO ROB YOU OF YOUR JOY AND PEACE WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR TRIAL.  

 REMEMBER THAT THE ENEMY MAGNIFIES EVERYTHING, WHEN WE ARE IN OUR TRIAL.

 LET YOUR TRIAL EXPOSE  YOUR SPIRITUAL CONDITION IN THE LORD, BECAUSE IT SURELY WILL BE EVIDENT TO YOU AND OTHERS, BY THE WORDS YOU SPEAK BY YOUR REACTIONS.

 2 CORINTHIANS 4:8
WE ARE HARD-PRESSED ON EVERY SIDE, YET NOT CRUSHED, WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR; PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN, STRUCK DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED.

 BELOVED, THE CLOSER WE GET TO JESUS, THE MORE  OUR FLESH DIES AND WE BECOME MORE LIKE OUR LORD.

 SO NEXT TIME YOU FIND YOURSELF IN AS HARD TRIAL, LISTEN TO YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR WORDS, ARE THEY FULL OF FAITH NO MATTER WHAT? 
ARE THEY LOOKING FOR THE LORD TO INTERVENE?

 1 JOHN 5:4
FOR WHATEVER IS BORN OF GOD, OVERCOMES THE WORLD.  AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD, OUR FAITH.

 THE REAL YOU WILL COME OUT IN YOUR TRIAL, AND IT WILL REVEAL TO YOU WHAT AREA YOU NEED TO ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TAKE OVER.

 BELOVED,
NEVER FORGET GOD LOVES YOU AND IS THERE WITH YOU, TRUST HIM, TALK TO HIM (WE CALL IT PRAYER) HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE.

 THE LORD LOVES TO HEAR FROM HIS CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY NEED HELP, HE'S
A LOVING FATHER. 

 HE IS WAITING FOR YOUR CALL FOR HELP. CALL OUT TO THE FATHER AND HE WILL SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS AHEAD, SO THAT YOUR HEART CAN REJOICE AGAIN.

 GOD BLESS YOUR DAY
JESUS LOVES YOU

 LOVE IN JESUS
JOY

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
