Moving from a Culture of evil condemnation into Culture filled with GRACE & LIGHT given directly from the SON of GOD, Jesus Christ.
HE said as a SIGN of HIS Coming & an END of the Age; there would be an increase in deceptions. False Christ’s who will deceive MANY. Wars, & Rumors of Wars, Nation against Nation & Kingdom against Kingdom. Famines. Pestilences. Earthquakes. Christian Persecution. Apostacy. False Prophets. Lawlessness causing the LOVE of MANY to GROW cold.
JESUS CHRIST also said that ALL these SIGNS would come like Birth Pains, likening the LAST DAY Events to a Woman in labor, as labor progresses, the pains increase in both FREQUENCY & INTENSITY until the baby finally comes. I have TWO incredibly stubborn children who decided to stay in the OVEN way TOO long eventually when induced; the LABOR pains MOST certainly came about in BOTH frequency and intensity. I see it, can YOU?
CLIMATE CHANGING? YES Indeed…. and the devil is monopolizing with the Talking Heads, but only for a time, please don’t get LEFT BEHIND. If you know the LORD, don’t be afraid to tell those around about the PROMISES of JESUS before they are ALONE in darkness or BURNING in hell FOREVER, either one is PRETTY DARN BAD!
If you don’t know the LORD yet, ask the HOLY SPIRIT to REVEAL the way for you TODAY!
I TRULY thank GOD for the people in my life who were NOT afraid to tell me about the LORD & the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. They were OBEDIENT to HIS calling, despite the sometimes severe issues that EACH person was facing. I’d LOVE to tell that story another time; I’m still adding NAMES and allowed accounts to THAT evergrowing list of Kindred Souls.
I’m following HIS calling, to let YOU know that YOU will NEVER be ALONE when the HOLY SPIRIT indwells within your SOUL! It’s a FREE GIFT from Jesus!
Given the state of WπRLD today, I was thinking about Jesus patiently drawing in the sand when the Pharisees WANTED to cast their stones upon a woman who was ENTRAPPED by one of those angry men. NO ONE knows EXACTLY what JESUS wrote in the sand that day, and I began to let myself imagine that he was biding time and talking to HIS FATHER asking for their hearts to SOFTEN. – it Worked! π
I sat down at my dining room table, which is in my living room and I opened my study bible to see what page the book of JOHN began on I found something providential, especially with what is going on in the WORLD. Page 1776 ~ TONIGHT ~ it is a DEVINE marker that I’ m on the RIGHT track with my next BOLD adventure of being a TRUE WARRIOR for CHRIST!
1776 for most Americans that year is memorable and being from Pennsylvania, but growing up in Florida, I always had a GREAT desire to learn about the place where I was born. BIG things stuck out like the not too far off Pittsburgh, where Mr. Rogers lived, and EVERYONE I know loved Mr. Rogers, who showed the LOVE that JESUS CHRIST told us to SHARE. In the end, we all found out that Fred Rogers was indeed a true CHRISTIAN! Praise the LORD (PTL)
Other things from History that made an impression were the Continental Congress, the very first delegates from Pennsylvania, the Provincial Conference and Convention, and let’s not forget about Washington and his RING of spies too.
This made me start to think about all the EYES that are lurking about, spreading hearsay, condemning a person based on synthesized information according to ANY agency’s policy.
WAIT – honestly, I am NOT talking πΊπΈ Presidential ANYTHING, just the reality of some situations. We are all sinners saved by GRACE, trying to make it. RUNNING headstrong in this Faithful Race.
I do want to talk about those π casting the stones.
I will NEVER understand the need to tarnish someone by a perceived biased investigation. Take, for instance, verse 5 of the 8th chapter of John, where the Pharisees TRIED to goad JESUS into condemning that very woman who was drug into the temple by an evil man who wanted to condemn her, possibly for his OWN GUILT.
Going to verse 6 of the 8th chapter of John, JESUS stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
SEE π verse 9 of the 8th chapter of John. When THEY heard this, they began to go away ONE by ONE, beginning with the OLDER πones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
The BOOK of John is JAMMED packed with GREAT stuff and has some of the BIGGEST stories like Jesus turning WATER into WINE…. The Woman at the well who was completely AMAZED that βοΈ JESUS knew she had 5 husbands……βοΈ Jesus FEEDS 5000K + women & children..…βοΈ Jesus healing the BLIND man with SPIT mud. It’s a BRILLIANTLY true story π . Other HISTORY books BACK this INFO up making it ABSOLUTE! WHY else is the βοΈ bible βοΈ π«BANNED π« in 52 countries?
Did you know that in SOME early manuscripts vs. 38 & 39 of Chapter 9 were removed in the SPIT MUD story? βοΈ
If fairy tales are stories where GOOD wins, then I believe in this fairy tale wholeheartedly. I REFUSE to believe the LIES the LOUDEST TALKING HEAD in the room says are TRUE…..
I have seen too many #SimpleGlimpses in my OWN life and in the lives of others around me with my own eyes, to feed into the misery bait can. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL, all of you that want that UNKIND company that πΏ misery loves.
For those of us that PROCLAIM to be CHRISTIANS, we should KNOW what HE says. RIGHT? #RedLetters simply to emphasize the word of CHRIST.
In verses 15-30 of Chapter 14 in the Book of John ~ Jesus PROMISES the HOLY SPIRIT as an ADVOCATE to HELP & be with us FOREVER ππ that includes NOW……
π π VERSE 17 of Chapter 14 in the Book of John – THE SPIRIT of TRUTH – ππ
The world π cannot receive HIM because it neither sees π HIM nor knows π HIM. But you do know π HIM, for HE abides with you and will be IN You. * ππ
We all call out to HIM, its how HE answers that determines the way we handle the rest of our lives after CALLING OUT; see HE doesn’t ALWAYS answer in OUR reality of time, place, or NEED. PRIDE Kills.
βοΈ HIS β timing β is PERFECT when we OPEN our π EYES.π
We all call out to HIM, it’s how HE answers that determines the way WE HANDLE the rest of our lives after CALLING OUT in desperation when it returns VOID. π vs. πΏ is a REAL struggle…. a DAILY struggle for EVERYONE ~ EVEN when you are a Christian, especially when you see the evil and point it out.
Which lead me to the book of JAMES, most likely written by the Brother of Jesus βοΈ, he didn’t believe, UNTIL the resurrection!
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Chapter 4 ππ talks about PRIDE, Drawing near to God, and NOT boasting about what tomorrow may bring you. πΈ
James is another one of my favorites, maybe because he was the closest to Jesus being blood family and all.
The little book is JAMMED PACKED FULL of Trials & Tribulations, Listening, and DOING. Favoritism & Forbidden. Taming the tongueπ. TWO kinds of WISDOM. Warnings against worldliness such as quarrelsomeness, spiritual faithfulness, pride, slander, and boasting. There are WARNINGS to RICH oppressors. Patience and suffering, Oaths, Prayers of faith, Ways to live, and wanderers from the faith. You REALLY should take a peek. Or Listen now.
To close this down in the BOOK of JAMES, I just want to touch on the TWO kinds of WiSDOM in Chapter 3 verses:
15 πΏ demonic
17 π Heavenly
The Wisdom from Above
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. 15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.d

So I’ll end this with James, Mary’s OTHER son, the Brother of JesusβοΈ
Chapter 4 verse 1Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
