WE HAVE ALL PROTECTED OURSELVES FROM UNPLEASANT THINGS, WE ARE NOW WEAKER THAN WE SHOULD BE.

IN OUR TIME IN THIS SEASON OF LIFE, WE KNOW HOW TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THINGS THAT ARE A DISCOMFORT AND UNPLEASANT TO US.

PHILIPPIANS 1:12

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW, BRETHREN, THAT THE THINGS WHICH HAPPENED TO ME HAVE ACTUALLY TURNED OUT FOR THE FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL.

WE MUST LEARN TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE, THAT WAY, WE WILL DEPEND ON THE LORD MORE AND MORE AND WE WILL BEAR FRUIT.

WE ARE TO LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER, BUT NEVER TO SMOOTH OUT THEIR WAY OR OURS FOR THAT MATTER.  

THAT IS THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

WE MUST LEARN TO DEPEND WHOLLY ON THE LORD JESUS.

WHEN WE JUMP IN TOO SOON AND THROW PILLOWS UNDER THOSE WHO WE WANT TO HELP, WE CAN THWART THE WAY GOD HAS FOR THEM.


YOU MUST PRAY AND ASK THE LORD IF YOU SHOULD HELP.  

SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM BEFORE THEY WILL LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

JOB HAD FEAR AND PRIDE THAT NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH.

JOB 3:25

FOR THE THING I GREATLY FEARED HAS COME UPON ME, AND WHAT I DREADED HAS HAPPENED TO ME.


JOB MADE OFFERINGS FOR HIS FAMILY, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF. (PRIDE)

PEOPLE ALSO MUST LEARN THINGS BY EXPERIENCE, AND SEE HOW GOD ALONE CAN BRING THEM THROUGH.

THEY MUST LEARN THAT AS THEY LET GO AND LET GOD, THAT HE TAKES OVER.

JOB 42:10

AND THE LORD RESTORED JOB'S LOSES WHEN HE PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS.  INDEED THE LORD GAVE JOB TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAD BEFORE.

SEE BELOVED, THERE ARE THINGS WE MUST LEARN AND GO THROUGH, TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE WHERE THE BLESSINGS ARE. 

JOB'S FRIEND DID NOT HELP, IN FACT THEY MADE THINGS WORSE FOR HIM.

BUT NOTICE, THAT WHEN HE PRAYED FOR THEM, WITH NO BITTERNESS IN HIS HEART, GOD RESTORED ALL, AND GAVE JOB TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAD BEFORE.


THAT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR US, THAT WHEN WE DO NOT HOLD BITTERNESS IN OUR HEART OF THINGS  SAID AND DONE TO US, BLESSINGS ARE WAITING.


BE WILLING TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE, LEARN TO ACCEPT UNPLEASANT THINGS, SO THAT GOD CAN WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.


GOD WILL PUT A SONG IN YOUR HEART, JUST AS HE DID PAUL AND SILAS IN THE PRISON. ( ACTS 16:25-31)

MAY YOU HEAR WITH SPIRITUAL EARS, WIDE OPEN, TO RECEIVE WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.

BE CONTENT TO WAIT ON THE LORD.

GOD BLESS YOUR DAY

JESUS LOVES YOU

LOVE IN JESUS

JOY

Mama Joy I praise YeHoVah the FATHER for the wisdom and counsel you always have buried within the treasure of the WORD OF GOD THAT IS IN YOUR DEVOTIONAL. THE STORY OF JOB HAS ALWAYS FASCINATED ME AS I HAVE FEAR AND PRIDE IN MY LIFE THAT NEEDED DEALT WITH AND THE LESSON OF PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER THAT WE MAY BE HEALED! ENCRYPTED IN THE STORY THAT HE IS GOD AND YESHUA IS THE AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH, HE DEVELOPS US IN THOSE STORMS AN BUILDS OUR CHARACTER. THE END IS BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING, MAY THIS ENCOURAGE ALL OF US WHO NEED TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM TO REALIZE THERE IS ONLY (ONE) YESHUA, JESUS, THE GOD WHO SEES , TO PUT OUR TRUST IN WHOLLY. SOME DEPEND ON HORSES AND CHARIOTS AND PRINCES BUT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME THROUGH THE WORD AND YOUR DEVOTIONALS TO DEPEND ON GOD. SO ENCOURAGING. SO MUCH FOOD FOR OUR SPIRIT MAN. I GIVE YEHOVAH ALL THE GLORY FOR HIS WORD, YESHUA. HALLELUYAH

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, ...
