THOSE WHO CAN SMILE THROUGH THEIR TRIALS, IT MEANS THAT THEY HAVE CONQUERED THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.

 WE HAVE LEARNED FROM COMING THROUGH OUR TRIALS, THAT WE CAN SMILE WHEN THE NEXT ONE COMES.  

JAMES 1:2-4

MY BRETHREN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU FALL INTO VARIOUS TRIALS, KNOWING THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH PRODUCES PATIENCE.

BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK, THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT (MATURE) AND COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING.


 WE CAN SMILE, BECAUSE WE KNOW GOD HAS OUR BACK, AND WILL SEE US THROUGH.  WE ALREADY HAVE OUR VICTORY AHEAD OF US.

THAT GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES IS ROOTING US ON.  

GOD TAKES WHAT SEEMS TO US A HARD TIME, AND BRINGS GLORY FROM IT, GLORY TO THE LORD. AND IT CHANGES US TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS.


2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9

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- ALWAYS CARRYING ABOUT IN THE BODY THE DYING OF THE LORD JESUS, THAT THE LIFE OF JESUS ALSO MAY BE MANIFESTED IN OUR BODY.


BELOVED, EACH TRIAL THAT WE GO THROUGH, WE SEE LESS OF US AND MORE OF JESUS.

TRANSFORMING IS TAKING PLACE.


JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID IT WELL WHEN HE SAID, "  "JESUS MUST INCREASE, I MUST DECREASE."

( JOHN 3:30)

WE WANT THE LIFE OF JESUS TO MANIFEST IN OUR BODY. WE WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THE GLORY OF GOD ON OUR FACE WHEN THEY SEE US GOING THROUGH A TRIAL.

 WE MUST ALLOW THE JOY OF THE LORD AND GOD'S PRAISES COME FROM US, ESPECIALLY IN THE HARD TIMES.

BELOVED, GOD IS FAITHFUL AND LOVES US AND HE WALKS THROUGH EACH TRIAL WITH US, AFTER ALL, WE ARE YOKED TOGETHER WITH CHRIST.

MATTHEW 11:29-30

"TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN OF ME, FOR I AM GENTLE AND LOWLY IN HEART, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.  " FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN LIGHT."

NO MATTER WHAT COMES YOUR WAY, YOU CAN SMILE AND SAY " GOD IS GOING TO SEE ME THROUGH. 

HIS WORD SAYS SO AND I TRUST IN HIS WORD, BECAUSE IT IS SETTLED IN HEAVEN.

ALWAYS POINT TO JESUS CHRIST, NEVER PUT THE LIGHT ON YOU. 

WE ARE DEAD IN CHRIST. DEAD PEOPLE WANT NO ACCOLADES. 

ALWAYS POINT TO JESUS.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY PRAISING GOD FOR HIS PROTECTION, LOVE AND GOODNESS.


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, ...
