Just reminiscing a bit. Reminding the LORD about the beauty in their giving. They showed up, they gave, they went back home and have waited patiently. BUT, while waiting, they've simply been doing their job. They haven't tried to takeover my assignment or steal God's job. Unlike that pitiful costly transaction which Eve made; they've patiently waited. Some public prayers are permissible: “Father, thank You for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe You sent me.” Then Jesus shouted, “LAZARUS COME OUT!” In Jesus name, Amen

After noticing the words "GOD'S PLAN" embossed on a child's t-shirt yesterday, the Holy Spirit prompted me to properly divide the true meaning of "God's Plan" vs "God's Purpose;" both for which He predestines us. Quite often in seeking to justify their own wrongdoing, people confuse God’s plan with His purpose. The two are fundamentally different. God's ultimate purpose has always been "reconciliation," which is to restore humanity to right relationship with Him. God's plan for achieving that purpose is the perfcet process which is laid out in the scriptures. However, issues arise and chaos ensues when man, abusing his free will, decide to interfere. For example: • It was not God's plan for Eve to choose to listen to a snake. • It was...

Glorious Sabbath Day People of God: I come somewhat earlier today with my ongoing testimony; because, as usual, this morning the provocation, manipulation, and harassment has already started, even on the Sabbath. Because stealing is what a thief does; if they'll steal the day before the Sabbath, they'll steal on the Sabbath. Game day. Apparently, it's not enough that I was thrown into the streets, where I'm compassed daily. This homeless grandmother and elder woman of God was, yet again, thrown off the train to prevent me from accessing homeless food at the church. Mind you, this is after having drained my transit account, withheld my housing, food, and water. Then they submit bogus claims to the omniscient God. He knows the back...

Scripture Fulfilled vs Recurring Pattern Recurring Patterns: Principles or behavioral patterns (like nations turning away from God) can repeat across different generations because human nature stays the same. Revelation 1:19 (NLT) “Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen." Just as "The Word of God Instructs," the devil also instructs. Therefore, guard your hearts. Has this city not stubbornly repeated the evil that is depicted in the following passage? Zechariah 7 (NIV) ⁸And the Word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: ⁹“This is what the LORD Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. ¹⁰Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the...

Man's glory is his wealth and beauty—both shall fade. But the glory of the LORD, is the righteous beauty of Christ Jesus (The Word of God), which never fades away. God's Word Instructs Isaiah 40:6 (NLT) A voice said, “Shout!” I asked, “What should I shout?” “Shout that people are like the grass. Their beauty fades as quickly as the flowers in a field." To be certain, man is fickle. Therefore, beauty is subjective. What man considers beautiful one day may be not suit his taste the next. Moreover, what's beautiful to one person may not appeal to another. James 1:11 (NLT) The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their...

Then why you sleeping on cardboard, if you all about Jesus?" A man recently asked me. Short answer: Occupational hazard. In order to accurately divide scripture, it must be kept in context. However, people often misinterpret and misappropriate scripture because they lack understanding. For instance, the following text is oftentimes misused as declaration to suppress God's praise. Matthew 6:1 (NIV) "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." But, that passage is not about public praise. It serves a command against performing our "good works" for our own recognition; for such impedes rewards. Whether the message is one of...

https://be-an-encourager.blogspot.com/2026/07/feeling-good-today.html Protect your peace. Disconnect from negativity and complaining. And if you cannot disconnect, limit your time with these people. Complaining is a spiritual problem. Complaining is a toxic poisoning spirit that will, if you let it, drains and chokes the life out of your spirit. Negativity can dim the Word of God in your heart and sap your confidence in God. Negativity Feeds. Negativity feeds off of your energy. You don’t wait to the negative people leave you. You leave the negative people. You are the one that is stressed, emotionally drained, and not them, after they have complained and spewed their negativity into your atmosphere. Let those types of people like...

Whether They Hear or Not Ezk 2:5 Jn 12:48 Mt 18:17 -- Church Discipline is Part of The Great Commission (Go and Make Disciples of All Nations, Baptizing Them in The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, TEACHING Them to Obey Everything I Have Commanded, Matt 28:19-20... We cannot "Pick and Choose" as we "Bring the Good News" Reason of Church Discipline, Mt 18:16-17: Obedience to EVERYTHING Christ Taught IS the WAY we MAKE DISCIPLES in The Great Commission, Mt 28:19-20... Obedience to all that Jesus commanded, Matt 28:20, specifically Matt 18:16-17 to be carried out, especially for the chance of bringing some to repentance and to promote holiness and reverence in the community, 1 Jn 1:5-10. We do not speak or remain silent...

Glorious Sabbath Day People of God: The message of love, the very essence of what truly pleases God is repeated throughout the New Testament. Time and time again, the scriptures make it clear how we are to demonstrate a love that genuinely honors God. 1 Peter 4 (NLT) ⁸Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. ⁹Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God just doesn't seem to let the message of that "caring and sharing" love go. Unfortunately, because of man's prideful nature, greed, and favoritism, which is enmity against God, "Real Love," which embodies the characteristics of Christ, often becomes the very stone at which humanity stumbles...
