hospitality (noun) The act of being friendly and welcoming to guests and visitors: food, drink, entertainment, etc. that an organization provides for guests or business partners. Jesus instructed His disciples to accept hospitality. Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed. [Matthew 10:10 (NLT)] And, Jesus (i.e. the Word of God) also teaches those who have, to extend hospitality. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! [Hebrews 13:2 (NLT)] Howbeit, a disciple is not required to accept hateful or resentful...

Many in my hometown, even among those who are of the "House of the LORD," have piously quoted the following scripture to me in an effort to justify their unjust behavior towards me: Psalms 37:25 (NIV) I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. But, because things aren't always as they appear on the outer cup, especially when we don't have all the evidence, the Bible instructs us as follows: 1 Corinthians 4:5 (NIV) Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. For indeed, is it not as sheep...

It has already been 3½ years since I first spoke warning over this city. Yet, there has been no change in her behavior. Therefore, God's answer remains the same. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? [Galatians 4:16 (KJV)] If you claim Christ and you call someone your enemy, as true followers of Christ, you must treat them as an enemy: according to His stipulations. “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for He is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked." [Luke 6:35 (NLT)] Why that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. EXACTLY! For my thoughts are not...

```markdown In my quest for scriptural knowledge and understanding, I sometimes use the internet as a resource for clarity. The following is another rendering from the internet. Search engine results... Question: Did Paul have women who were leaders and coworkers in his ministry? Yes, the apostle Paul mentions several women who were leaders and coworkers in the early Christian ministry, despite some traditional interpretations that suggest otherwise. Paul's letters, particularly the greetings and commendations in Romans 16, provide valuable insights into the significant roles women played. Here are some examples of women who served in leadership and co-laboring capacities alongside Paul: • Phoebe: Paul refers to her as a "deacon"...

```markdown Dressed for work: But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. Jeremiah 1:17 (ESV) Hated because of my work: I have never been so hated by so many people in my life. The vast majority being strangers in my own hometown. But again, Jesus warned His loyal disciples, both apostles and prophets, that this would happen. And they were offended by Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household." Matthew 13:57 (CSB) And not only that but, "Everyone will hate you because you are committed to me. But the person who patiently endures to the end will be saved." [Matthew...

I feel like I've addressed this before. Yet, I will continue to impart as the Holy Spirit leads Whomever you allow to counsel you, to the point that you carry out their instructions, becomes a prophet to you. If you still don't trust the words that I speak as God's representative, at least engage His irrefutable Word for yourself. Be honest with yourselves. What is your counsel saying to you? Has it been consistent with God's view? Micah 2:6:11 (NLT) True and False Prophets ⁶“Don’t say such things,” the people respond. “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!” ⁷Should you talk that way, O family of Israel? Will the LORD’s Spirit have patience with such behavior? If you would do what is right, you would find...

Neither chasing after the world's goods nor the unethical pursuit of victory is favored by God. For such is but greedy gain. GREED IS IDOLATRY Luke 12 (NLT) ¹³Then someone called from the crowd, “Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father’s estate with me.” ¹⁴Jesus replied, “Friend, who made Me a judge over you to decide such things as that?” ¹⁵Then He said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” ¹⁶Then He told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ ¹⁸Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat...

Worse than giving to be seen is giving only because you want something in return. For such giving is rooted in selfish greed. GREED IS IDOLATRY Giving must first be simply because God commands it. After all, all things are freely given of Him. Indeed, we would have nothing to give had not God first given it. Secondly, giving is unto those who are in need, and there is no favoritism in it. Remember, God places some people before you specifically to test your obedience to Him. Giving is the only area in where man is specifically invited to test God: Malachi 3:10 (NIV) Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates...

GLORIOUS SABBATH DAY PEOPLE OF GOD: Before I continue to share the knowledge that is being imparted to me, I must first pass along this little gem. 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 New King James Version ¹⁴ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them,, because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. ¹⁶ For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. I can understand why people are so quick to call believers "Self Righteous." The afore penned scripture doesn't necessarily make it any easier for us. But, when you're willing to truly...
