Have you been quarantined, Has the earth had a time of rest during this quarantine?

Beloved, God has a way to make us lay down in green pastures. (notice that He makes us)

He is our Shepherd and He is the one in control.

Here are some things to think about.

The Latin root word for quarantine is "Forty"

The flood lasted forty days. For forty years Moses fled Egypt. For forty days Moses stayed on Mt. Sinai. Received the law.

Jesus fasted forty days.

Matthew 4:2-4

And when Jesus had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 

Now the tempter came to Him, he said "if you are the Son of God, command that these stones turn to bread." But He answered and said "It is written Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

Notice that Satan did not come until Jesus was hungry. (Think on this a moment)

The number forty represents change.  

It is a time to prepare people, or a person for change.  Time for fundamental change.

Have we seen a fundamental change since the quarantine?  Oh yes we have!!

You bet we have.  The air has become cleaner, rivers and streams are less polluted.  Healings are happening in families and bodies. 

The Earth has been at rest for the first time in many years.

Hearts are truly being transformed.  The true church of Jesus Christ is waking up, rising up and finally doing what we are called to do. 

The sleeping giant is awake, look out world!

 We are called to die to ourselves and love our neighbor.

Beloved, see God's hand in all of this.  People are coming to Christ through it all.

Spend time reading your bible, get to know your God in a deeper way.

It all started in  the year 2020. 20+20 = 40.

Read Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.


There is a spiritual liberation to our souls, our nation, and our world. 

People are running to get saved and baptized.  What the devil meant for evil, God is turning for good.


Beloved, pray, spend time in the presence of the Lord and allow Him to speak to you.  He removes all fear, and anxiety. 

Our focus must remain on Jesus, no matter what is happening around us.  Look for the Lord's loving hand in it.

Don't focus on the evil, that would be worshipping

the devil, that's all he has ever wanted, was to be worshipped. 

Focus on Jesus, His word will comfort you.  Yes He does lead us to greener pastures, (feeds us first) then He leads us beside still waters.  So we can see His reflection with us.  Now He will restore our soul, and then lead us into paths of righteousness.

Beloved, read God's word and see what God is saying to us.

Do you realize that 2020 is perfect vision?

Think about this for a moment.  God has a perfect vision for us. Without a vision the people perish.

Jesus loves us and He will see us through whatever we encounter.  Believe and receive.

I had an encounter with a young girl at my store today, I asked her if she knew Jesus.  Her reply was, sort of.  

Well we had a wonderful talk and she wept in my arms. There is no sort of.

I told her I prayed for her this morning, she looked puzzled, I told her that I asked Jesus to hand pick the person to take my groceries out, and He chose you.  Now I have her attention.

  Either we know Jesus or we don't.

Beloved take every opportunity to share God's love.

Share Jesus and all He came to do, and is doing.

Anyone in your path is a Divine appointment.  We are Kings kids.

Rejoice that we have come this far. There is so much more coming.  Hang on the ride could be a little bumpy.

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, ...
