Matthew 7: 13 Jesus said: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(Keep Smiling)

Faith Message

We should be excited about living one day at a time because there is a promise that Jesus is expected to return very soon. The reason for that is that any second could be the time the rapture may occur! And if you are ready, you can smile and be happy knowing that God is in full control. But if a person is not ready, that frown they are wearing makes it obvious they're headed down a broad path! Jesus said the narrow path points us to a glorious day, but the broad path will lead to total devastation. Now is the time to keep smiling while realizing God has told us what we need to know. From there, if we are willing to follow Jesus, then there's only one thing left for us to do: keep smiling.

Roman's 10:13

For whosoever shall call upon the name

of the Lord shall be saved.

(Call upon Christ)

When we carry out things according to God's will, we do not need to fret over what we have been led to do. God delights in backing up His Word because He knows that it is all for the good of humanity. We have every reason to be thankful for the Word of God because it keeps us up to date with what's going on around us. Also, speaking the Word has a powerful effect on other people. Everyone needs the Truth in some way, shape, or form, but regardless of our situation, God is there to protect and provide for His people, just like He said! And it's because of this one thing: God cares for us all. Therefore, keep trusting in Jesus… and don't look back — but keep moving forward daily in faith. The Lord hears and answers our prayers!

John 15:4 Jesus said: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, 

except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

(What to Do)

Faith Article

****************************************************************

By abiding in Jesus, He will bring about the fruit in a true Believer's life. When we abide in Jesus, we can have victory because we will always show love toward others by doing God's will. And from there, if someone is bitter toward us, this shows we are on the right side of Truth, and they need to have a closer walk with the Lord. Jesus also asked if He would find faith in the Earth when He returned. That is something we all must answer to, for without faith, it is impossible to please God. Therefore, the first, foremost, and final answer to what we should do when Christ returns is to be about our Heavenly Father's business. Jesus gave us that example to follow, and by doing so, we are pleasing God.

Deuteronomy30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

(Careful Attention)

Faith Article

Someone may ask How much we should be concerned about these drone sightings. Well, drones have been here for a while and most likely will still be here until we're gone! So, until there is an official answer, it's alright to wonder. But it would be up to us as individuals to determine our own level of concern until all the questions are cleared up! Remember this also: no one else can decide your opinion for you. But when it comes to the truth of Jesus Christ, God requires a decision to either accept or reject His Truth because that is the only two ways that God has given us to choose from. You have the truth, and then you have error! You have heaven, and then you have eternal destruction, which is hell itself! These are the choices, and God says there is no in-between, and neither can a person be neutral. If you have made the choice of Jesus Christ, you have peace that passes all understanding. If you don't have this peace, God offers it to you without delay. Although this drone situation will one day pass, your choice in Christ will forever last! It is my prayer you have chosen the blessing over the cursing. Now, carry on in love and let others know what a wonderful Saviour we have. God bless you always in Christ Jesus! Amen

12-14-24 through 12-16-24

Proverbs 12:5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: 

but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

(The Eternal Soul)

Faith Article

Most people remember when the (mystery Chinese balloon) flew across the United States, and now we have this unidentified drone activity. Although action has not been taken to give an answer concerning this situation, God already knows what it is, and one day it will be revealed. So, what we may call a mystery can also be something carried out to intimidate others because some don't want you to know things that are going on, so many others can be confused! However, the more we depend on the truth of Jesus Christ and live in faith, the more we learn how to trust God to keep us safe despite these unknown activities. If you trust in Jesus Christ, your future is already secured, but if a person rejects Christ, then every day is an unknown or dangerous condition because they have no security when it comes to their eternal soul. Once a gift has been offered to a person, they either accept it or it's rejected. The gift of salvation is free, but it's the highest cost ever paid within creation itself. Getting rid of your sins and being saved is far better than the uncertainty someone faces by being lost in their sins! Yes, we should be concerned about these strange events, but we should be more concerned about the condition of our souls than what's just flying over our heads. 

12-12-24 through 12-14-24

1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, 

and we can certainly carry nothing out.

****************************

(Forever Say)

Knowing that we depart this earth with the same thing that we came with, which is nothing, then everything in between is only temporary. This means what we have, whether it was given to you or earned, is still on loan because you will not take it with you either way. So, the point is, how you use it matters most, just as much as how you receive it. Whatever you have may seem significant at the time, but once it's gone, it will be as though it was never there to begin with. Therefore, the most important thing in your life is what's in your heart, not what's in your hand. And when you give your heart to Jesus, you will use the rest of your mind, soul, and strength to do what God has called you to do by His Grace. From there you will be able to carry with you that which cannot be taken away; and that's a life lived for Jesus Christ. It is at that time you can forever say, "To God be the glory!"

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

6: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

(It Shall Be)

Faith Article

When God said nothing is too great for Him, it shall be, and you will see. Everything in life is known beforehand, and because of that, nothing ever catches God off guard. Although we deal with the unexpected… we have faith that any trial we experience is a condition caused by a situation beyond our control, but our God is able. The solution is to give it all back to Jesus and let Him sort it out in the process. We live in a world where known or unknown forces are everywhere! This is not to scare us but to assure us! Even if something seems very difficult, it is still under God's mighty power to protect His Child. The Bible says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart," whereas this may seem impossible sometimes: "With God, all things are possible." It's not that we see our way through, but the Bible says, "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." Amen, and praise the Lord! Remember also that God knows and understands what is going on; our task is to carry on while giving God time to do what must be done! Things will work out for our good and God's glory!

12-9-24 Through 12-10-24

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

(They Carried On)

Faith Article

Mary and Joseph went through so much that we cannot comprehend their pressure. To even think a perfect little baby had to be born outside in a stable, and this child was the Messiah that came to deliver people from their sins! The Christ child was laid in a manger, which is a feeding trough for animals, and no one ever complained about the situation or conditions. Mary would have had to be a (most determined) woman to endure such a task. She obviously depended on God through it all, and her witness will never grow old. This is not to say that no women in this day and time endure and press on through heavy trials. They're all around, yet you don't know it because they do not complain either way. Such faithful followers of Christ carry on and depend on God to help them endure and overcome every situation! And men can be likewise if they keep their eyes on Jesus while allowing God to direct their daily path! Just like Mary and Joseph, they carried on, and we can do likewise by having faith in the word of God!

12-7-24 Through 12-8-24

Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the LORD

hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

********************************

"Forever in Jesus"

Donnie's Daily Devotional

There are those moments when we sometimes have our doubts, but as those feelings go away, they are replaced by a calm assurance that everything is in the hands of God. To try to deal with all these things without help from above would be to sink even deeper into your way of thinking! God came here to offer hope, give us peace, and fulfill our joy! So, here's why we can say, "This is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Therefore, the more you rejoice in Jesus, the less you fear what man shall do unto you. The Word of God comforts you in every situation so that you can say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." After that, we take this good news to others so they can have everlasting gladness within their hearts and souls!

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold,

 a virgin shall conceive, bear a son, and call his name Immanuel.

(God Really Cares)

Faith Article

A big "Thank You" to anyone taking the time to read our devotionals! Today, we are talking about what a wonderful God we have and that He would care enough to come here to this earth! The Bible says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and describes where He was laid in a manger! He was also wrapped in swaddling clothes. Isn't it incredible that God would carry out such a plan, even realizing they made no room for Him at the inn? Sad but true, yet He still came, even though He could've stopped it. But despite how things occurred, He still loved us enough to come here, and on top of that —- He was willing to lay down His life for us. And what a message it is, how Jesus Christ did all this for sinners! Now, don't you think we should be thankful beyond measure for God's gift of salvation? If someone rejects such mercy and is not thankful to God, you cannot help but wonder what happened in their life to throw them so far off course! Worshiping and praising God is what Truth is all about, and that's where the real meaning of Christmas comes from! So, thank God for the birth of Jesus; without it, we would not know who God is.

12-4-24 - 12-5-24

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know

not what hour your Lord doth come.

(Train of Hope)

Regarding the rapture, we must stay alert because the time to prepare is right now, not later! It's better to be ready every second than just thinking about getting ready some other time! The love of Jesus gets us ready much more than anything in this world. Those who love Jesus more than the things of this world are already ready! Take note: once that news report hits the airwaves, "Millions Missing!" many will want out of here, but that train of hope would be passed on! Afterward, what people on Earth will face once that rapture occurs will be totally indescribable! Terror like never before is going to unleash upon those who lived in filthy pleasures over being saved from their sins! If you are warning people, this makes it clear that you believe what we are saying is true, which places you or me as a minority! In this case, it's better to be part of a minority rather than a majority! If you agree, then carry on in the love of Jesus!

12-3-24…

Galatians 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

****************************

(All by Grace)

Donnie's Daily Devotional

If Jesus were not a triune God, then He would be only human as we are. Although He became like a human, He was far from ordinary. Jesus could get hungry and experience pain. He would sweat when hot or feel emotion when being persecuted. However, when beaten by whips or while hanging on a cross, He had to (give up the ghost) to die for our sins! Since you can't kill God, and He has power over sin and death, the grave has no authority over Him. On the third day, "up from the grave He arose!" This clarifies that Jesus could come here, live a perfect life, and talk to His Father in Heaven while paying the debt for our sins! The only thing is, Christ cannot repent for us; we must repent willingly to be saved from sin and darkness! Once we receive Jesus, He can deliver us from the penalty of sin! In other words, He created us, died for us, and lives in us according to His Word. Amen to a wonderful, loving God and Saviour: His name is Jesus!

12-2-24

1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

************************************

(My Friends)

There is no more wondering about what is going to take place. It has already been foretold! The greatest event in our history will soon occur, although we don't know the day or the hour. We have been told times and seasons, which can be obvious, especially regarding the seasons. Seasons are (a type of what goes on all around us), along with our weather. The major point is whether we are (letting people know) the urgency of getting ready. Just like many people were not prepared when Jesus came the first time, sad to say, it will be that way at the rapture. However, since we can't tell who may receive this message, let us tell you anyway. Get ready, my friends — there's no time to waste, and saying you were unaware will not keep you from being left behind. Get ready now because Jesus could return any second. The times and seasons are upon us!

11-30-24 - 12-1-24

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

(Together Again)

Poem

Loving Christ and drawing near

Jesus can meet your every care!

Speaking the Truth is good grammar

Like a skilled builder with a hammer!

We must learn to always be kind

Seeking the lost in hopes to find!

Going to Church as a true seeker:

Praying always for the preacher!

As the choir sings a Gospel song:

Standing together is never wrong!

Praising the Lord with God's people

Together again under a Church steeple!

Receiving the Word while standing tall

Jesus is a Saviour that gave us His all.

Thanksgiving, Christmas or year-round

Take good news to every single town!

11-29-24

1Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care

upon him; for he careth for you.

(Out Goes Worry)

Donnie's Daily Devotional

Recently, during the Church service, we have been listening to a beautiful song called "Don't Worry." The Lord blesses us in Hymns, Poems, and Preaching to warn one another of the dangers of worry! As a matter of fact, such doubts can end up as a form of false worship. That's what Satan wants a Believer to do! If you think about it, the opposite of trusting God is being worried! One can learn to lean on Jesus as easily as worrying over almost nothing or everything! The more we pray and seek the Lord, the more we trust His Word! Peace and hope take over where confusion is driven out! Faith is our greatest defense, and such truth is much more powerful than any stronghold that comes at us from the wicked one! If an unhealthy condition causes you to worry, then realize it will worsen the more you fret over it! Get help and carry on! And if you are troubled over being lost, repent of sin and get saved! Cast all your cares upon the Lord; for He cares for you!

11-28-24

(Thanksgiving is Real)

Poem

Thank you, Lord, for meeting every need

Thank you, Lord, upon your truth we feed.

Thank you, Lord, for all your caring ways

Thank you, Lord, we give you all the praise!

Thank you, Lord, for being so very near

Thank you, Lord, for calming our every fear

Thank you, Lord, by Grace, you set us free…

Thank you, Lord, all darkness now must flee!

Thank you, Lord, there's no one else like you

Thank you, Lord, your Word is forever true!

Thank you, Lord, help us stay in your will

Thank you, Lord, for providing every meal.

"Always being Thankful"

Here are some verses about always being "Thankful." This is great to remember at 

Thanksgiving, but it is what we are called to do and be every day. God bless you in Christ Jesus.

"For a Reason"

It's very clear why we are here. God has a particular task for each of us to get done by telling others about His Son! This is our purpose, and that's to serve His cause! We are one of God's invited guests! Be assured that it's not about us: it has never been, and neither will it ever be! We are who we are because of who Jesus is! Jesus came to this earth seeking us because of our lostness! And now…to seek any other cause by turning away from His truth would lead to a worthless cause for any one of us! As a result of the way some folks think, these words may seem out of line, but it's the opposite! When people turn from the truth, their way of believing is badly twisted and needs to be readjusted! Always be aware that you are here to carry out the work of God! Jesus said, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent." John 6:29 

11-23-24 Through 11-25-24

2 Thessalonians 2:1 says: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2:That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

(Be There Soon)

The hymn says, "Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King." Another hymn says, "What a day of rejoicing that will be." There's no doubt about it. Everything points to Christ's return, although we do not know the day or the hour. Remember that Christ's message to the Church is clear and summed up in three words: "Be There Soon!" Jesus wants us to know that so we can prepare for that day! Even the scripture tells us about the signs, representing the times and seasons of our Lord's return! And somebody may wonder, what are we to do about that? What a good question: My feelings are that  --- we should shout about it, preach about it, teach about it, reach out to tell others about it, and be glad about it because it's true. The only way to know when something is true is by the truth, for without the truth… we will not know truth from error! Thank you for reading!

11-22-24

2 Thessalonians verse 7: For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

***************************

(Ready for Flight)

God will continue to hold back (by His Spirit) all this evil that would try to destroy His people. God is He who will "now let," which tells how everything is lining up for the coming judgment upon this earth! God is in full control, but He is allowing this (one world system) to develop before our eyes. It may seem like we are going through the seven-year tribulation ourselves, but we won't! That is how close things are going to get until God stops them. The rapture will occur, and then the (one world government) will finish formulating itself! Believers will be caught up in the clouds to be with Jesus, and that is when the antichrist will be able to take over on earth. Then comes the seven-year tribulation, and after that, the wrath of God will be poured out upon the ungodly! Being a child of God is the (greatest of all protection) in life because of Jesus Christ! Even so, come quickly, Lord!

11-20-24 / 11-21-24

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,

he was afterward an hungred.

(Jesus Carried On)

Faith Article

Regardless of the trials that fought against Jesus, He showed us how to carry on and never give up in the face of adversity! Being fully God and Human, Jesus faced it all here on earth, including spiritual, social, emotional, and physical distress! Be assured that whatever you are going through, someone understands your opposition: His name is Jesus! Now, by realizing this… Jesus carried on beyond the battles and against every obstacle within His path! Jesus felt pain, hungered, and endured without ever turning back! This is an example of what He went through for us. No matter the situation or despite the odds, there is only one way to experience total victory: trust in Jesus Christ to provide for your daily needs! He is our source of hope, love, and peace! Also, to try and make it without help from Christ would be to seal your own fate! To think that life will move aside because it owes you something, then look out! The truth of the matter is that reality has the power to turn on you without even a one-second notice! Give it all to Jesus; He overcame life and death to give us total assurance in anything that tries to cause us harm!

11-18-24 and 11-19-24

Ecclesiastes: 3:1 To every thing there is a season, 

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

(Next Venture)

We see life in a certain way, but sometimes, it is the opposite of how we think! This tells us that there is more to consider than just imagining how it could have been rather than the way it is! The closer we get to realizing this, newer thoughts and ideas will unfold as the brightness of each new day creates a challenge to carry on in whatever it is we hope to achieve! Afterward, our goal is reached by never giving up on what needs to be done, as eagerness takes over while preparing for our next venture!

11-17-24

Exodus 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5: And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6: Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

(Seek Truth Now)

Faith Article

The name "God" appears six times in these verses (Take just a moment to count). Now that you see that, I think this happened for a reason! The number "six" relates to man. And, of course, man relates to human beings. Since "Mankind" has been put here and spoken to by God --- it's now up to us as people to pay close attention! Science cannot explain how a fire did not destroy a burning bush, the same as no one on earth can comprehend how God would love a rebellious people that has rejected Him so very much over the centuries! Many human beings who are on this planet could care less about God, and they surely don't believe Moses met with God at a burning bush! Others refuse to believe that God came to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, and gave His life for our sins! Well, my friends... because this is true, we have much to answer for! My only advice is this... if you are lost, stop pretending to be happy and repent of sin while there is still time! Moses got it right with God; it's our turn to do so without delay! God hates human rebelliousness, but He will save souls once they come to the Cross of Jesus and turn from their wicked ways! Only Jesus can give you that power to turn from sin! Afterward, you will not have to fear burning in hell but will be given a home in Heaven once you leave this earth! Are you saved?

(Yes or No)? It's your choice!

Isaiah 11 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
************************
(On That Day)
On that day when Christ sets up His millennial Kingdom upon earth, there will be many glorious changes. Righteousness will rule, whereas people will worship God freely, willingly, and gladly! Nature will no longer have its curse, and a little child will lead about a lion and other animals without that little child being harmed. As saints, we will reign with Christ. We shall also be kings and priests unto the Lord. Our duty will be to help oversee worship, rule over cities, and more. But for now, we must remain obedient, steadfast, prayerful, loving, and careful in everything we say and do. The best way of putting it is what Jesus said, John 18:3 Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom. 

11-15-24

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

(Very Clear) 

When you look at life in the light of truth, this is when you find out what's going on. A window may look clean, but once the light hits it… you wonder how you're even able to see out of it. Also, a sink may look clean; however, on a close-up inspection, you'll head for the cleaning solution before using that sink again. An illustration that came to me recently is this:  "When sheep walk together, they look white, clean, and fluffy. But the sheep can look dirty and bleak once the beautiful snow arrives and covers the ground." It is the same for us when it comes to being Christians. We may sound and look like sparkling glass, but compared to Jesus… everything becomes pale or highly stained: almost unrecognizable to the onlooker! That's just a few examples! My pen is being a little easy on us right now.

Another point is this: if saved people can be that way, how much more severe would a lost person look in contrast to God's Holy Word? My friend, sin, and corruption at the lowest degree wouldn't touch the surface of describing a person in such a condition as that! May God have mercy on us all

11-14-24

Staying Very Calm

Various circumstances can occur while crowding out our reasoning abilities. Sudden events will rock the earth under our feet along with creating many surrounding noises! It only stops where our minds cannot comprehend! But someone does know far more than we can imagine. Jesus Christ experienced far greater trials than anyone else, yet He kept it together. Because of this, we can carry on in faith, realizing that nothing in this world can overcome or destroy a child of God! Christ Jesus is more powerful than anybody or everything; that is why the Bible says, 1John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, 

than he that is in the world."

11-13-24

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

(Doing Your Best)

It's much easier to do things right than to mess it all up! When anything is done incorrectly, that is not how to approach a job under any conditions! This may appear a little personal, but doesn't our actions truly reflect who we are? When you put your best into something, you can expect your best to come out of it. The Bible says, "Be not slothful in business." As an individual, a good policy for overtaking a project is to pray before moving forward, then go forth giving it your all, believing that by doing so, whatever is done will be to the glory of Jesus Christ! Now, with that attitude, you are a winner already! Praise the Lord! Amen

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

(No Looking Back)Faith Article
Only a few go in because many don't take the Truth seriously. Jesus changes lives, and the fruit comes about from those who are faithful. Someone may ask, what is faithful? Well, when you spell (faithful) backward, there's your answer. It adds up to full-of-faith. The best way to know if someone is saved is when you know you have accepted Christ. It matters not who would try to say that you can't know it for sure. That's the only thing you can be sure of. Then someone may say, how can you prove it? The proof is in the Spirit of God. Once Jesus enters your life, it is then you're born again; afterward, the heavy load of sin leaves your body and soul. From there, a person is no longer the same sinful person; old things are passed away, and all things are made new. A believer may fall short occasionally, but true conviction takes over as the flesh is put back in its place. God gets His people back on track; He has a way of getting us back in line. That's the work of the Holy Spirit. It's better to remain prayed up so we'll be ready to go up. Also, judging yourself first is better than being judged by God! Prayer, faith, and love for the truth are enough to keep us obedient to the Word of God.

People across this Nation have paid a price to help protect us all. Many of these men and women paid with their lives, yet even the Bible says we are to remember them for their sacrifice. Giving honor where honor is due is not just a saying; it's an action! We honor the fallen and those who survived. And this is not a one-time thing; it's ongoing and proper. There are forces around that hate what we stand for, and the freedom we have freely received costs more than we could ever realize! Lives were given so we can enjoy the goodness of this great Nation. Would you not agree that we owe them (those who served) total respect, along with whatever help is necessary to see them through to a happy life? Well, here it is… "Thank you for your service, and we love you with all of our hearts for being there when needed." We, the people," also thank those who are there now and doing their part to help freedom continue to prevail. God bless each of you, and God bless America!

(Keep Trusting God)

Faith Article

*******************************

We have faced many circumstances in life, but sometimes, we can't help but wonder what causes these things to occur. But beyond it all, God has brought us to where we are, and He will continue being with us always according to His great promises! The Bible teaches us how to live for today but also encourages us to prepare for what is to be. We have come a long way, and as we recall, God said that by His Grace, He will continue to see that our every need is met. With all the activity around us, there's only one thing we should be concerned with more than anything else: "Keep trusting God." And now… no matter what conditions we may incur, remember this: there's nothing too hard for our God; therefore, do your best, be your best, stay your best, and let God do the rest.

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and 

not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

(Carry On)

Faith Article

Many things are said, but what is done is more important than all the empty words in this world. Someone commented recently, "Build it according to God's will, and He will bless it." That is very true when it comes to this life. My saying is this… "say and do what is right, and you are walking and talking in the light." We have no reason to hold back within our faith because we have been given the tools to do the job. As we go, we tell the good news, and as we learn, we grow; then, we become doers of the word and not hearers only. The greatest thing about a testimony is to have one. If you don't remember anything else from these words, 

remember this: it's not too late to carry on!

Matthew 6:9 Jesus said: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.11 Give us this day our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

(Prayer Victory)

Faith Article

As Christians, there is much in this world that would try and fight against us. But on a more powerful note… there's no need to start naming those things because prayer cancels them out! Sometimes, we are nicked by whatever danger that would want to harm us; however, anything that does occur is all in our favor as seen by the eyes of God! When Jesus gave us the Lord's prayer, this is our shield over the fiery darts of the wicked! The Bible says. There is no weapon formed that shall prosper against us! This means that pain or suffering is only temporary, whereas the Grace of God is far more excellent and is also there to sustain us in every situation! We accept these promises by faith, and we persevere in prayer! Because this is true… let us keep pressing on while looking for that blessed hope of the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

Psalms 28:6 Blessed be the LORD, because he 

hath heard the voice of my supplications.

(Being and Doing)

Faith Article

To be blessed is to be a blessing. After that, our blessing becomes greater. Some need help, but others are there to help. Both ways, we are blessed. Then, as God intervenes, our efforts are rewarded. And knowing this… our reward is realizing that God helps us through others and works through others to help us! That is why we can say, "Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications."  From there comes blessings, healing, and encouragement! Amen

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

(Glorious Grace)

Faith Article

***************************

Knowing how wonderful it is to enjoy each day to the fullest is a blessing. Although things will try to get in the way, we must remain vigilant no matter the situation. God has so much in store for us, but we must be willing to do things His way by not allowing the flesh to control the spirit. Once all this has been achieved by faith, we are opened to incredible possibilities for doing things that glorify our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. My prayer is you are on that path; if not, it's time to plunge into the fountain of everlasting love, hope, and peace. After that, you can experience a glorious Grace offered to everyone (as a gift) from our loving God!

Matthew 6:34 Jesus said: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall

(Light of Truth)

Faith Article

Most of what (you hear) can often be the opposite of what it seems to be. Some of (what could be) may also be what has occurred, but only in the light of Truth. To sort these things out to better understand what is and isn't, look to Jesus, the One that was, is, and shall always be! As seconds go by, minutes can become hours, whereas hours become days, with days turning into weeks, weeks into months, and months becoming years! Then, at the same time these events take place… what was now becomes that which was or no longer can be. This is why, in the light of truth, we can find hope for today while letting tomorrow take care of itself! After doing so, beautiful thoughts will enter your mind as the heart gets overtaken by love! From there, peace will take over your everlasting soul.

1Cointhians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(Going Forth)

Faith Article

As this message is being sent to you, we're glad folks are willing to receive it! Much is taking place daily, leading us to the time of going forth! To do our part as individuals is a blessing given by God! Each day is a gift, that is why it is called "the present! "You realize the last comment is from way back, but it is just as fresh and real today! Again, each moment ticks away to where eternity could unfold any second! That is why the Bible says, "for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." If you are holding back from getting saved for some unknown reason—which is an excuse —this is the time to get things right with God immediately! And for Believers who have not been committed to the cause … get back on track immediately! Let go of self, take hold of Christ!

Psalms 90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

(Living in Victory)

Faith Article

Notice how everything centers on God over all of life itself. Often, people keep their eyes on their problems and forget about joy and peace! As human beings, it seems natural to let worry take over while allowing prayer to be placed on hold! And, of course – anyone who is spiritually lost will not care either way because their hearts are hardened by sin! For them, it's up or down; over and over, then out they go for Satan to deceive that many more! But as Believers, we need to show some evidence of peace over confusion. By being this way… this makes it clear that God can meet our daily needs in every situation! Like the Bible says: Psalms 90:1: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
