I am thinking the heart of Jesus broke when He knew there were people He could not reach because of the self-righteousness of our human condition. What about you? Can you imagine how Jesus’ heart breaks for us? I was one of those people who God’s heart broke for. He never gave up on me. We forget that we are just human beings, Who God has saved to serve others with our lives, being reconcilers, people who add value to others, not devalue them, not self righteously judge them. I f your heart has been broken by someone, don’t react to the chaos in your relationship with bitterness or judgement, turn to God, let God respond through you. Usher in the peace of God, be peaceful because the Prince of Peace lives inside of you. Jesus is our Way-Maker to loving those who have broken our hearts, loving people just like He did. Jesus was a reconciler, He did not point fingers at others, He climbed up on the cross where we were meant to die. He became peace in the division between God and us. Jesus, He went to the cross for those who rejected Him, those who wounded Him and He loved just like He had never been hurt. Think on this today when in our world we see nothing but strife between people groups, and change things up in your life to not being a part of strife but being a peace maker. Exchange bitterness and judgement for the attitude of unconditional love, and the spirit of reconciliation and put others over yourself. Add value to someone’s life today whether they deserve it or not. Show mercy, show kindness, show others that even though our culture is in chaos, compassion is not dead. Speak Shalom into your sphere of influence, and let Jesus disrupt the cultural chaos with His peace. In relational strife, do everything possible on your part to make peace and let be and let God Work. God is the Fixer. This is how we live like Jesus lived throughout all His life as He spoke the truth in love, was peace where there was strife, and loved unconditionally, never giving up on what was right, standing on the side of truth, gentle as a dove, wise as a serpent. This is our God, a disrupter of chaos, as He ushers in peace like no other… miraculously so.

Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Hebrews 12:14-15

He’s not here… but before they said that, at the beginning of the week of Easter, they had no idea what God was going to do that Friday, what Jesus, their beloved Savior would have to grow through. God’s Timing Was Everything. He’s not here. As we start Easter week, or any week of the year, we don’t know what lies ahead for us, but we do know God is with us and He is for us in that incredible way of His. God’s timing is perfect as we wait on Him at the beginning of our week. I have never really liked Monday, I don’t know why? Anyone else feel that way about Monday? I guess it is a bummer because we come off of a long weekend and it is the start of a long week ahead. Can you imagine what Jesus felt like that Monday before He was to die on Friday? Can you even begin to imagine?? Yet, He stayed on mission, because timing is everything, and it mattered. Jesus was determined to finish well. That shows me one thing, every day is a gift and no matter what lies ahead for us, if we stay on Mission with Jesus, we can finish well. How did Jesus begin his week? This scripture should give you a huge hint: “Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even to death on a cross.” Philippians 2 Father God, make us to be so, like Jesus, may we be saved to serve and stand on the side of truth like He was and is, and in all humility, love others like He did and is, loving them like He had never been hurt by them. Jesus continues to give His all to us all, speaking truth and life, and finishing well despite our, rejection, false accusations, and hate. Because of Jesus, and His humility and His position underneath the Rulership of God, and His truth, Jesus beat his enemies and won the greatest victory over evil known to mankind. Timing is everything. He Is Not Here! That is what they said the morning they went to the tomb to prepare Jesus’ body for burial. Death was the evil intention, eternal life was the outcome. The illegitimate authority over Jesus appeared to have the upper hand because He was allowing it for a greater purpose, which had an endgame of eternal life. Timing was everything. So, start every Monday with good intentions, wholly-holy aligned with Jesus, and be like Him and finish every week well. Wait on God, yielding, believing, trusting, and activating faith, because God’s timing is everything, we patiently endure. We yield to God and His methods because we know to trust God, we must believe that His timing is perfect, His timing is everything. God loves us too much to answer our prayer when we want it with what we want. God waits until the timing is right for what is absolutely the best outcome for us. He speaks Shalom into our injustice and disrupts the chaos of everything that doesn’t feel right with HIs peace and truth, that stands the tests of these evil times. Do You Want To Dig Deeper?

In the overwhelming feeling of injustice, we wait, we patiently endure and wait on God’s perfect timing, knowing He will make crooked places straight.” KimberlyMac

Feeling alone? Feeling isolated? Feeling Hopeless? These are prevalent things in times such as these! We are not alone in our struggles and challenges, God is with us. The Shalom, that peace which disrupts the chaos of the enemy, it floods in our soul as we yield to God. We know that the darkness in our nations has thickened with deception, hatred and greed for power, position and money. How can we fight this kind of prevalent darkness. The truth is, the darkness never completely overpowers the light. The darkest of evil can’t put out the light of God’s truth. Never, will God’s light not be with us. It may be dark, but out of this darkness shimmers the hope of God, the light of His truth, which can stand the test of these storms which are upon our nations. Yield to God, trust God, believe God and activate our faith, this is a pathway to hope. Hope settles deep within our souls and rests on the foundation of trust, it is a wonderful thing, never lose it, never let the enemy steal it from you. Every dark night has a moon where the light of Jesus glimmers hope on the dark waters of our life situation. Hope is exactly this… like the moon light on the water of a dark night, so we turn our hearts upward and focus on Jesus in times such as these and refresh our soul with hope in Him.

It is never too late… the is what is so amazing about God. He pursues us, He waits for us, He lets us grow through until our hearts desire Him. We should never give up hope, we are never stuck in a rut in life. Ask God for what you need, no matter what our age from the youngest to the oldest, God wants to walk with us, He wants to change things up for our good and for His glory. It is never too late as I have experienced lately God giving hope to the elderly, loving them, encouraging them, I realize He keeps on pursuing us until our final breath here on earth, because for God, His mercy, His grace, His love, they are not conditioned by time, for Him, time matters not, it is the endgame, the winning of our hearts that matters most. Our God will take us home with our last breath as we surrender to Him, because He never gives up on us, it is never too late with Him… He loves us that much that He is faithful to wait for us and trustworthy to meet us when we are ready to embrace Him in the fullness of Who He is, His life, way, and truth. There is no greater love than that of our God and His “never too late” heart attitude of love towards us, He is very long suffering in His pursuit of us. So if you have said: It is too late for me. I highly suggest you let go of that lie and open your heart wide to God, He will fully embrace you in His Love, because, it is never too late for God. God bless ya.

Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once. Charles Spurgeon Quote https://rumble.com/vdtfpb-contagious-love.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/the-bridegroom-speaks-about-love/ “The way of the cross, was not sentimental, romantic, or emotional decision. I consciously chose a sacrificial love. The message of the cross portrays a picture of true, inestimable love. This kind of devotion does not travel down an easy, broad path. My infinite love. dared to run the race of this life on a difficult, narrow road. Genuine love is a hard- hitting, enduring passion that is courageous, willing, and ready to forfeit all. This is the love I have for you, Bride of Christ.” Excerpt From: The Bridegroom’s Voice

If we stop listening to and spreading assumptions, speculations or presuppositions and we stop the spread of strife and instead of confusion, we have peace. A Tale-Bearer could easily be me or you, or all of us, because we all at some time or another speak out of assumption, speculation or presupposition and these are all on the enemies playground of strife. This is exactly where the enemy wants us, being a Tale-Bearer. A forceful opinion is driven by pride, and pride is at the root of every Tale-Bearer. Pride! We want our opinions to matter and we don’t want to listen to truth, we want to pridefully lift up our opinion into the first slot where everyone can admire it. Opinions are very, very often at their formation, deceptively based on thoughts of assumption, speculation or presupposition. Where do these thoughts come from? The enemy of our soul, the father of lies. When we think on an assumptive, presumptive or speculative thought, the enemy of our soul is shaping us into a Tale-Bearer, who is forming opinions driven by pride, so we can tell His Tale of deception which is not “The Story” but A Story. Being a Tale-Bearer is not even the endgame of the enemy, he wants to escalate Tale-Bearing into strife and confusion. Where there is confusion, we know automatically that the enemy is in play and deception is the game plan as we run around the bases of confusion, strife and pride. The best choice we can make, thought to thought, is to cast out of our mind any assumption, speculation or presupposition and think only on what we know is truth, not on what we “think we know” and this creates less strife in our lives and keeps us from being The Tale-Bearer the enemy is scheming for us to be. Speak Truth, deal truly and live truly in the Light of Jesus Christ by the power of His Truth.

Today I am thinking about how true love plays itself out in our lives and in our relationships. What say you about love? I am thinking love doesn’t demand its own way, it is not self seeking, and from Jesus, I learned it is very sacrificial. True love has a lot of facets and it is recognized by being more concerned for others than yourself. True Love… I hope that for all of us to have this kind of love where someone is sacrificing for us, loving us unconditionally, is kind to us when we don’t deserve it. Unconditional love is the kind of love we receive from Jesus and it is the best kind of love that we will ever know. The unconditional love of Jesus, it gives us room to grow. So, I hope that for us, I pray that for us. It can’t be true love when conditions are put on it. Either you do this, or I won’t love you. Conditions that are prerequisite for friendship, for being able to hang around you or talk to you are a harsh environment for love to even grow in. The kind of condition in a friendship where you are “ghosted” by the person if you don’t act the way they think you should act, or speak the way they think you should speak, according to their needs or their image. When people try to plaster their image on you, what they were created to be and they withhold love because you can’t measure up to that, this is not true love, this is conditional and usually ends up wounding people’s hearts. May God bless us with true love, with friendship love that is accepting, unconditional and never, ever excluding because of expectations that can’t be met. God bless ya.

I find myself saying: "I hope you have a good day" to people as I meet up with them and talk with them, I usually close with that statement. Then I wonder what really constitutes a “good day”? Is a good day all about staying comfortable in our flesh? I believe it is staying wholly-holy aligned with God, or another way of saying it: Stay In The Moment With God. What I love about God is that His purpose for us is always in play. He is always bettering our lives, teaching us, molding us, shaping us. It is kind of cool that there is God purpose in everything, in every season God is in it and He has brought us to it purposefully. God has a plan, so stay focused on God, He is purposefully working in us, so He can work through us, purposefully so. Yield the moment to God and stay with Him, let Him navigate us, controlling our comfort zone. It may get really hot, unlike what we are used to, it may get very cold and we will feel uncomfortable, but God is with us, navigating us. God has a perfect, purposeful endgame for the life season we find ourselves growing through. He brings us to it, He grows us through it. This is our God, our God Who finishes well. Are you in the moment with God or are you stuck in your man made comfort zone? Today we are challenged to stay in the moment with God, put action to our faith, as we purposefully dig our life roots deeply in God’s way, truth and life, and we don’t despise small beginnings, we wait and patiently endure the growing times. We know as we trust God completely with our lives, as we have given Him the pen to write our life story, that it will be full of God purpose, good for us, glory for Him. Every challenge we face in this life, the God purpose in the challenge is greater than the challenge itself. God finishes what He starts and He finishes well. God Wins. Stay connected to God, Heart To Heart and stay strong in your commitment to a vital-vertical relationship with God. God said that all we need to do is believe Him, let God work, yield to God and watch the incredible things He can do as you wait yielded in belief, trust and active faith. God bless ya. Yield To God. So to dig deeper in this, we yield our “comfort zone” to God’s control: Stuck?! In Your Comfort Zone?! https://rumble.com/vaktcf-stuck-in-your-comfort-zone.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/god-adventure-2/

The enemy of our soul wants to tap into our ego. It was corrupted human ego, leading to embittered human pride, that put an innocent man, Jesus, on a cross to die for something He did not do. In all actuality, the reality of truth seen in our history, we now know, He died for all of humanity stuck in our corrupted egos and human pride. This selfishness, which serves no power higher than self, runs amuck, straight into sin, as we human beings clamor, scratch and claw for power, position, titles, authority, and worldly pleasure, treasure and worth. Without God in our lives, our humanity is pure stank. We can all clearly see this in times such as these. We need to lay our egos at the foot of the cross of Jesus. A focus on ourself first, a living out of no power higher than self, this kind of behavior is the opposite of Jesus, Who gave up His Kingly rights, said no to His ego, and went to the cross for us, to save us. It is with His resurrected power that we can live above pride, not feeding our ego, but walking in the same selflessness that He had, a servant’s heart, whose pride went through the human crucible revealing the truth of meekness, power under control for the good of others. Jesus modeled a selflessness which put the interests of others before His personal ego and gain. Selflessness is a huge part of our Salvation that should not be denied, as Jesus put us before Himself, paying our sin debt, He died our death so we could live forever by His life-giving resurrection power. Say no to ego which feeds into a corrupted pride, say YES to Jesus, being positioned underneath the Rulership of His pure of heart kind of love, a love that creates an atmosphere in your soul which speaks of the truth of Jesus: Saved To Serve.

As I was thinking on how it felt to be a foreigner, not being able to understand the Language and learning the culture, the Holy Spirit had something to teach me about myself. I began thinking about how we have a “culture” as Christians. We sometimes speak in our “Christian Language” with our scriptures and “Christian Sayings” that people outside our faith may not be able to understand or grasp. We may come across as standoffish, or should I say, self righteous to those who don’t “speak our language.” What is the universal language that everyone can understand? I think it is the actions of love and kindness. People will read us, not our Bible, and sometimes, we ourselves are the breakers of our language barriers by how we act. We don’t need to say a thing, people will watch our lives, and learn about Jesus, and if they don’t understand our language or Christian culture, they will understand our humble attitude, kindness, patience, forbearance, selflessness, and love. Godly actions, genuine heart felt love, and humble kindness, all these things point to Jesus, and make our Christian culture desirable to those who haven’t learned to speak our Christian language or know our King.

There are those times in life where we feel beat down by our life circumstances and discouragement turns our hearts into an embittered, depressed, despair. We have forgotten God, we may not be of this world, but we are in it and so is He. We have to change our focus on the Awe of God. God left His creative mark on this world, there is so much of Him all around us, everywhere we look, is some of His Creation. We should shake off the doom and gloom of our circumstantial crud and shift our focus to God and increase our Awe of Him. God has created some pretty spectacular things, so incredibly beautiful and they can lift our souls out of despair as we focus in Awe at the Creator and maintainer of all the beauty and magnificence of nature. The beauty of Creation always points us back to our God, who loves us, and is constantly working for our good. Awe of God can snap us out of any trap the enemy laid for us. Never forget the real truth, our enemy is the stealer, killer and destroyer, the one who is against us. Our God is a life giver, abundantly so, and is for our good, wants the best for us. The beauty of God’s creation soul nourished us with hope. The enemy of our soul wants us so focused on our circumstances, that we miss everything and everyone around us that God can use to awaken our soul in the hard times of life. Yes, out of the rocks and barrenness of our winter season flows rivers of living water. Take Hope In This! Take time to enjoy the beautiful things God has created and nourish your soul. God bless ya.

Joy, continual and constant, I hope for us this kind of joy, heart to heart! The kind of Joy the enemy of our soul can’t mess with. We human beings pursue happiness, but in order for us to be happy, it is human conditioned by our circumstances being exactly how we planned, wanted and expected. This is so rare and this kind of happiness is fleeting. It is Joy, a constant joy that comes when we are wholly-holy aligned in heart ❤️ with Jesus. This is a constant joy that doesn’t depend upon our circumstances or truly nothing really outer… but it springs up from within us and nothing in our horizontal, no people or things can disturb this joy. This joy is as constant as the Presence of God and as we connect with God in personal vital-vertical relationship, this joy is constant. It is an incredible joy that strengthens us from the inside out, no matter what we are personally dealing with, this joy, it’s stability, changes not. This joy comes from Jesus, so if I am hoping for us this constant joy, than truly, What I am hoping for us is Jesus. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/bloom-in-joy/

I am thinking winter is a season where a lot of patient endurance is developed because the “snow days” cause us to learn to wait. Patient endurance is an acting hoping and trusting in God. Can we do this when we don’t see things the way we want them to play out? Kind of like the Israelites in the desert when God gave them Manna. They hated the Manna, it had no taste, but it fed them, it wasn’t what they wanted. They asked for provision and got something different, yet it answered the provision prayer. We are much like those in the wilderness who don’t like the Manna. God is doing things His ways and trust which is activated by the truth, the knowing that our God is trustworthy, this is a great foundation for patient endurance. Things may not be as they seem, but God is, He is exactly what He said He would be in strength, power and miraculous provision, He is with us and He is for us. In the light of this truth, we can patiently endure the methods God is using that we don’t like, we can patiently endure because He has a great endgame in mind, something we could never even begin to imagine. So, we wait in hope and trust, until our perfect God says move forward, this is the way, walk in it. Don’t let what you are seeing now trip you up and cause you to believe a lie. Even though we don’t see, we wait on God, trusting Him wholeheartedly. Sometimes what we “see” is pretty scary and we can’t imagine God can makes something good out of the mess we are in. So, we patiently endure and trust God because He is trustworthy, amazing and mighty. Patiently enduring, we let be, be still and know He is God.

The Soul Winter is a tough season of life to endure through. We feel the harsh, cold, darkness of this life season in our soul emotions that can lead us to discouragement and then to despair. Seasons of our soul where it is cold and dark seem to make us focus on the negative, yet there is so much positive in Soul Winter when we are led by truth and not by our emotions. Soul Winter, has its own beauty, it proves the faithfulness and trustworthy of God, the ONE Who never leaves us, nor forsakes us. I believe we see God more clearly when we are in the dark soul winter. There is no winter darkness that can extinguish the light of God, nothing can. We can sit quietly in the darkness of our soul, and we will see the glimmer, of glitters of His light, as we hope in Him, knowing by faith, He will spring forth goodness out of our Winter Seasons. The SON will shine on us once again, and the warmth of God’s love will glow His glory into our darkness. Look up! He is STILL with us. There is never a Season of life where we are without our God. We experience so many different life seasons. Some life seasons are hard, lightless and cold, and our soul struggles to the point of weariness. Every season evokes different emotions and some season’s of life we have to struggle to grow through dark emotions to the right life choices. Trust God in the Soul Winter seasons of your life, be deeply rooted, anchored to Him. This anchor will hold. Step out on God’s truth, this is a firm foundation. We may battle 🖤 dark, wintery emotions, but that battle is the Lord’s and as we stay holy-wholly aligned with Him first, from every moment into every choice, we can make the next right choice. We do have emotions, part of our human design, and we need to learn not to be subject to them. I admit, I am not totally there yet, but I like how the Word transforms me day, by day, I meet Jesus in the Word and the followship choice becomes clear. God will navigate us, this we know, so bloom in whatever season you find yourself in, because He is there with you. Glean from the experience of each life season, even if it is winter, you can grow through with joy and see the beauty of that season because God is with you. God bless ya.

Change is upon us. It has been such a tough season of time for every nation around the globe. I know our nation has truly struggled this year, it has been a hard, tough year, and has stretch our faith like no other. It feels like we are in a fog and we can’t see ahead of us too far, we can’t see what is ahead because everything is a human mess. In our nation, every stable thing has been shaken, especially our freedom, as God exposes and expunges evil and our transforming God shakes everything that can be shaken. We were created by God to be free, and born into freedom. The human condition has corrupted and we have fallen far. The tainted evil power of our enemy is using people, enticing them, as they clamor for position, power and money, using so many tactics of our enemy, who wants to steal, kill and destroy us. Our freedom is so fragile, because of the illegitimate authority of the few, who what to steal our liberty, destroy our nationality, and lord over all of us. This is not God’s design for us. We were created by God to be free. In this life season we are still stuck in a fog without light, without being able to navigate our way as we can’t see too far ahead. We step into a new life season tomorrow, without much change, with illegitimate stolen authority still in position over us, destroying the liberty, justice and destiny of our nations. Our quality of life has diminished and the state of our nation is poor. We choose to focus on Jesus, He is the Fixer, we are not. We make the choice to position ourselves underneath the Rulers hip of God’s Love. We know, without a doubt, no human being can help us at this point, only God can. This is obvious as we spiral downward as a nation. Knowing God is with us, knowing He will never forsake us, this truth helps us to activate our faith, and our wholly-holy trust in God as God’s truth is the only thing that nourishes our soul with hope, anchoring us during these unstable times. Knowing that God has not abdicated His power to evil, knowing He is in the midst of this storm, and knowing God will intervene and will deliver us from our enemies, out of this fog into His Light of Truth, this truth feeds our hope. These are horrific times where deception has stolen so much from us, knowing that it will get worse before it gets better. Yet, we know what the reality of truth is: we are free in Christ Jesus, and this is the truth we focus on, this is the truth we live out of as we patiently endure, stepping into the new year, knowing our worldly viewpoint remains really bad, but our kingdom perspective is still very hopeful. We pray God helps us to be gentle as doves, and wise as serpents, and navigates us in this fog until He intervenes in that way only He can. God bless us, in this new year of hope, trust, and belief, and give us the strength we activate our faith and stay on mission with God. God bless you and yours.

The sun is going down on our day and our year is literally coming to an end, we will be in a new year, what a milestone! This new year is a milestone, because it is an evening where when we wake up, we have a new day, a milestone to measure our lives with. We can look back on the year behind us and look forward to the year ahead of us, this is a milestone. So much has changed this year and that is no exaggeration, much has quickly and radically changed up for us. We human beings, we measure things by the milestones in our lives, we all do it. Year 21 is a big milestone, year 30, year 50, year 70… all these milestones where life is measured by what is behind and what is ahead. The milestones of our first date, marriage, having our first child, all these things change what is ahead of us in a radical kind of way. God is like that, He surprises us with spiritual milestones, where we are given opportunity to “grow through” with Him. God has done so much for us, we can look back and see spiritual milestones, knowing there is no day where we have not grown in Him. As the sun sets on our today and we know tomorrow will be a new milestone, we think about what God has done for us, because this is what really matters, this is what is forever. God changes us up, so when we think about the milestones in our lives, let’s flip-flop our thinking to how we have grown as a person, how our personality, actions and ways have reflected Jesus. We are becoming, we are becoming like Him, what milestone have you marked this year in your spiritual walk with God? Have you become more trustworthy? Has your faith increased? Have you become more patient, enduring with God, leaning into His Sovereign Sway? How much of your life have you turned over to Him this year, are you becoming closer to being wholly-holy-his? What is the state of your heart and soul as we walk towards another milestone in human time? Is it well with your soul? These are good things to reflect on as we close out this year and begin a new day, another milestone tomorrow, another new year. God bless you, Heart To Heart, may you and yours be blessed beyond measure as we step out into this day where a new spiritual milestone will unfold for us, a Great God Adventure!

It is so very cool, such an amazing privilege to belong to God, believe me, no doubt about it, there is never a boring day as He is all in with us and is fully invested in bringing about good for us and glory for His Kingdom. Of course, the way God goes about things, may cause us to scratch our head in unbelief, we may not be able to wrap our finite minds around the plans of an Infinite God, as what we “see” is definitely not what we planned on seeing in our life story. Yet, He is so famous for taking things that seem so very messy and so very out of our control, and making them into a miraculous masterpiece moments that leaves us with our mouth’s hanging open in Awe of Him. I love that about Him. The God Adventure, when you are in a personal relationship with God is so great. So, if you feel challenged today to keep up with what God is doing, if things seem like or look like He is not working at all, don’t let the deceiver keep you bound up in fear of the unknown… step out of your comfort zone and have a Great God Adventure today. It doesn’t matter what challenges you will face today, the God purpose in play in each challenge is greater than the challenge itself and it will play out into a Great God Adventure. So don’t opt out if things don’t look exactly like you planned them, stay in, stay on mission with God, don’t miss out on the greatest God Adventure ever, because you are focused on your worldly viewpoint or because you were enticed by the enemy to attend a pity-pouting party with the enemy of your soul. Step out in faith and enjoy the God Adventure today… don’t miss out!! Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/amazing-awe-god/ https://rumble.com/vbnbel-step-out-go-grow.html

Jesus Christ, spoke the world into being and then did what was simply-significantly needed… He came here. He came here to us to die our death, so we could live His forever life. He came in a way no one would ever have suspected Who He was, in the flesh, living among us. Just like us, Jesus experienced life from a tiny infant to an adult and He experienced more than any of us ever will the sufferings of persecution for speaking the truth in love, for loving the unlovable, for walking counter culturally and sharing truth that was revelatory, novel. and impactive. In the middle of our hustle-bustle the TRUTH of our Christmas Savior, Jesus says: SHALOM and He miraculously-merrily-so disrupts the dark chaos of our world and speaks truth, love, peace and hope. This incredible Savior, Jesus Christ is for us and in these times where deceptive evil is in full play in our world, we take hope in the Christmas Child, knowing that He wins, the victory is His. Never despair, we are not alone here, God is with us and His endgame is great, so we watch in prayer, we wait in trust and we anticipate with hope, knowing our Christmas Savior is working all things for our good and His glory. It may not look “good” right now, but by faith we know, our God is with us, He has not abdicated His authority to evil, He is in control of all of our happenings. There is no weapon formed against us that will prosper, none. Look up, light up your life with God’s Truth, be navigated in the dark by the hope the Holy Spirit will speak into Your heart. This is the way, walk in it… God is with us, thus and therefore, activate your faith and believe. I believe in Jesus, my Christmas Savior, it is well with my soul. How about you? God bless ya.

What gift do you want to give Jesus this year? I would like to give Jesus the gift of an undivided heart. #ListenUp https://rumble.com/vc5fm3-joy-hoped-for-you-and-yours.html God bless you and yours...

Amazing Awe-God! He sent His Son, Jesus to us. Being all in with us, He made the big gesture of love toward us because He wanted a personal relationship with us. Jesus came to us, our hope of glory, our future maker. Jesus is the right of all the wrongs, a way-maker to reconciliation with our Father God. This day, God’s mercy is new for us, this is the day He purposefully made for us. As we look back with “heavenly hindsight” into the Bible, we see the story of our redemption throughout our history. God has always pursued us, God has always been for us. Our God is trustworthy, this season we are in, He has designed. Trust, wholly-holy trust in our God is what we need to aspire to in times such as these. Wholly means complete and holy means without a shred of doubt, we give our All-In God, total access to our lives in abandonment to His way, truth and life. What keeps us from this wholly-holy trust is our own flesh. We want God to do things our prescribed way, the way we think things out to go. When we have those sudden detours in our life, we buck up our will against God instead of yielding our way to His way. All throughout history He has been mysterious, doing things no one could understand, no human could wrap their finite mind around. Our God is Infinite, we believe in Him, now it is time to believe Him. Like no other time in history, God asks for our trust, He wants us to believe what He has said, to fully face Him and surrender to the navigation of His Holy Spirit, our personal Advocate. When we do this, when we lean into God’s Sovereign Sway, life is not only good, life is glorious in that miraculously merrily so kind of way. More of Him less of us we pray. Let this be a new day for us, the day where we handed over the pen and let God write our story, surrendering all things us, to all things Him as we watch in prayer, wait in active faith and see Him work all things out for our good. The best is yet to come. It’s a new day. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/wave-maker/ https://rumble.com/vfi1k3-stand-trust-believe.html https://rumble.com/vayssp-stay-on-mission.html

Good is bad and bad is good= God Is Bad – Evil Is Good. Isn’t that the recipe of this age of confusion?! This cultural trend is continuing to get stronger, this cancel God current is flowing throughout our land. These off the wall cultural tides are strong, and you can easily get swept up in them, caught up in their deplorable behavioral patterns where you serve no power higher than self gratification and act out in horrific ways against each other. Do you know who has suffered the most in these cra-cra times? Children! Do you think God does not notice? He does. Judgement will come. The best way to live in times such as these, is by putting your identity in Christ. Jesus Christ created us, male and female, and He equipped us with everything we need to be special and unique in character, talent, and personality. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus is our now, and our future, our identity is in Him, from here to there unto forever. Our identity in God does not modify with the winds of the culture. The world is dramatically changing, rapidly, in a downward spiral of the human condition, and there is so much upheaval in every single nation. Evil people are in the middle of trying to do a reset, so control of our lives will go to a few corrupted leaders, and our freedom will be lost. In this transitional time, everything is shaking, there is no security except in Christ Jesus. The Kingdom of God is a firm foundation, and will not be shaken by the foolishness of illegitimate human authority. God is the only Supremacy that will last throughout all time, and He is the only One Who can handle supremacy without corrupting it. There is an endgame and God Wins it. This topsy-turvey world, with the fake façade which has the appearance that evil is winning, is a tough challenge for us to navigate. We need to walk by faith, not by sight. Therefore, we put our identity wholly-holy in Christ, we become stable and stand firmly in the Truth of Jesus Christ, as our way and life. This is a stable foundation, so we don’t have to emulate the trends of the corrupted culture, or be wishy washy people, as we try to follow the constant change of the cancel God current. Even if standing strong in the truth of what we know in Christ Jesus, the world still cancels us, it won’t matter, it changes nothing of importance, and our joy remains full, because our future is not rocked by the foolishness of the fools in this world, our future and day by day provision, is secure in Jesus Christ. All God wants for us is to know Him, to walk with Him heart to heart, in His truth, making it personal with Him, staying in a vital-vertical relationship with Him. We can have a constant conversation with God as He navigates us through these difficult days by the power of His Holy Spirit. God is never not available for us, He is with us, loyal, faithful and trustworthy. “My church, My true love, will your devotion endure until the end? Bride, will you choose to let go of your preconceived plans and your personal agendas and find the newness of My presence, My love, and My truth in every situation you encounter? My heart’s desire is that you discover how intimately I love you, and you learn to love Me with an undivided, personal fidelity” Jesus Quote From “The Bridegroom’s Voice” Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/the-bridegroom-speaks-about-love/ https://rumble.com/vok1r9-costumed-cultural-roar.html https://rumble.com/vl9a1h-what-a-ruckus.html

I love so much about our God, but one of the things that truly comes to mind in this season of Thankfulness is just how much He refreshes our soul. We go through times of extreme cultural heat where everything good seems to be drying up and we are just looking and looking to find that glimmer of hope. God always comes through with that replenishment of sweet joy in our soul, He always makes a way for darkness and grief to be transformed into the light of incredible joy. I am thankful to be His, to share in His character, His heart, His inheritance of blessing. My heart is full of gratefulness to God today because in spite of having a week from hell, I still have inner peace, I still have that knowing that My Father God, He is working everything for my good, He is never not at work for good for us. He loves us and He has Proven that faithfulness over all of our generations. I love the places of refreshment He has made for me in the place of exhaustion of soul. God is creative in His replenishment of our soul. Do you have soul exhaustion? Take some time apart with our Awe-God and be refreshed in your soul by God. Yes, human beings, our soul needs to be refreshed and replenished, it is so important. Stop right now, open your heart wide to God and let Him breathe refreshment into your soul. God bless you.

It is time to Grow Up! Yes, these are perilous times where it is important to have that vital-vertical relationship with God. The Whisper of The Holy Spirit of God is still guiding us, navigating us in times such as these, and this is makes for less anxiety and more wise choices. YES, God is still here. He has not left the world! Maybe things are not going the way we have planned, I am sure that is more than a maybe in times such as these. So, what is our recourse as God continues doing things His way, and making us very uncomfortable?? Is it Whining??? Is it flesh out as we throw up our dark emotions of disappointment, doubt, and despair all over everyone? I hope not! We Need To Grow Up! I have heard enough whining from human beings to last me a life time. Yes, we definitely need to grow up! What does whining do? Absolutely nothing but pass on the contagion of hopelessness. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. God is still on the move, God is still speaking, God is still working for our good, there is no doubt about that. His time table may be a bit slower than ours, but His Promises stand faithful, and His truth endures. He is WHO He says He is, and we can take that to the bank! So, make that choice to stop looking in the rearview mirror and let’s walk forward. Yes, our culture is corrupting, but I am not losing sleep over it. I accept that we have tough times and harder times ahead, but the truth stabilizes me, the truth I know that God has not abdicated His power, or His authority and God is absolutely still in control! Yes, lots of challenges happening now, yet for every challenge I face, He will deliver me faithfully, and purposefully out of it. God is truthful, God is faithful, so pick out a God Promise and step out on that firm footing every single day. Instead of rolling out of bed as a naysayer, let your first step out be down, bowed before God, letting God put Your Spiritual Armor on so you can be an encouragement instead of a “Debbie Downer”. We do have a Rescuer; He is working in the unseen for our good, and has a fantabulous endgame in mind. Yes, God is doing things His ways, and sometimes that is very uncomfortable for our flesh, YES, way outside our comfort zones, and the things He does STILL works out in amazing ways to our advantage, even if we can’t see it at first, it always ends well for us. Even in spite of our whining, kicking, screaming, and bucked up WILL, God, He STILL shows off His incredible power and wisdom for us, in ways we could not even begin to imagine He could. God is simply-significantly amazing at taking our human messes and making something miraculously awesome out of them. Our human condition does not scare God! AweGOD 🙌 So, these are the days where maybe we decide to GROW UP, activate our faith, and stop whining, putting our trust wholly-holy in God, Who has been from generation to generation, a faithful and trustworthy God of Justice, Protection and Provision! More than ever in times such as this, it is really a good time for us to put away our childishness and grow up in our faith and trust of God. He’s got this, so we let be, be still and let God Work, prayerfully watching, waiting in endurance and seeing in the end, His greatness. The best position for us as we “grow through” is in followship of God. https://rumble.com/vbb45t-securely-anchored.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/upward-focus/

Life is treacherous. I am not exaggerating. In times such as these we have no business going it on our own, thinking we know what we “think we know”, because we don’t know. There is so much deception in our life season right now, it is hard to put one foot in front of the other and make a good decision. Truth is so fogged in by myriads of voices screaming what they “think they know” when they should be whispering what they are assuming. They act like they have the one grip on truth, and either you go their way or they will take you out with their cancel culture mentality. I said it, I meant it. Life is treacherous. Making a mistake right now, can snow ball into injuring ourselves, our family, our community, so we need God. God Knows All. The reality of truth is, a man-made fire will flame out. So we can walk by the light of a man-made fire for a little while, but in the end, we will be sitting in the dark among ashes. We need to see the seriousness of doing life on our own. Places to go and things to do, yet nothing happening around us is normal. We can’t sink our head in the sand and pretend like all is well. We can’t navigate our decisions on our own in the crazy culture we are living in. We need a Vital-Vertical relationship with Jesus, where we are navigated by His Holy Spirit. We need God, we need to connect with Him, so we don’t get lost in the deception and drift off with the cultural say so. The storms of this life season are not forgiving, they are very, very tricky to maneuver. With God, we will have an Advocate, Who is completely for us, Who will help us walk through the storms safely, and the best part is, He will grow us through. We won’t just go through, but we will grow through and finish well. Do you find yourself in a difficult place? Look up. Listen up. Connect with God, Heart To Heart and be navigated by Him. There is no better way to live and grow through these days, then with God, standing firmly on the foundation of His Way, Truth, Life. I pray that for us all. Wake up and get back to that wholly-holy aligned relationship with God. Make It Personal. Trust the Lord with all your heart. Don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in everything you do. And he will give you success. Don’t depend on your own wisdom. Respect the Lord and refuse to do wrong. Proverbs 3:1-7 #Dig Deeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/make-it-personal/ 5o Right – 50 Wrong https://rumble.com/vgjwk1-fifty-fifty-split.html Make It Personal: https://rumble.com/v1l4lzd-make-it-personal.html

Everything in our world could change on one single day. It is said that history is made in a moment. The sun sets and the sun rises and all is changed. The heart of the Gospel is change and it was a divine interruption of the finite by the Infinite. Jesus came to us and this is something we should never get over, and when He came here to earth, He ushered in the greatest transformation ever known to mankind. Death To Life! Jesus is the Author of all change. One day the sunsets and the next day a new day is born, and God is in charge of all, maintaining what He has created, and purposefully bringing about good for us and glory for His Kingdom. With Christ in charge of each day, tomorrow could be so different from today. Jesus is a creative agent of change, therefore, we trust, we activate our faith, and we wait on God. In the seasons of life where everything seems to be changing quickly, the best thing we can do is to yield our lives to the Navigation of God’s Holy Spirit. Prayer is always the best choice, so we pray asking God to bring forth His best for our nation, our community, our family and our friends. We pray and we trust, hoping for God’s best to be showered upon us with His blessing. We live underneath the Rulership of God’s Love. This never changes. His heart for us never changes, He is for us. Yet, Jesus, as He purposefully works out His Divine Providential Care, where He is working for our good and the glory of His Kingdom, He can do things that make our flesh so uncomfortable for a time, completely out of our comfort zone until His endgame is revealed in its fullest glory. Never forget, God is always good, even if it doesn’t look or feel that way in our today, we know tomorrow will come with new revelation of His workings in the unseen, powerfully parading in the seen. Our God is amazing and very famous for miraculously changing things up. Our God, Our Savior, Our Jesus, His power will not be denied! Always know Jesus never relinquishes all His authority over us to evil principalities or powers. God still reigns as His Holy Spirit, wisely as a serpent would, and gently as a dove would, uses evil to purposefully bring about good for us and glory for God’s Kingdom, and to expose and expunge all those who are serving no power higher than self. There is no doubt about it, God is in control. Rest your heart in this truth today. Change may be coming to our world, but our God is the Author and finisher of change. Awe-GOD!
