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!

Isn’t this a word we all have to deal with in times such as these. Unpredictable. Things happening in ways we did not expect. The weather report says sunny and you get up and it is raining, this is unpredictable. Weather is always like that and climate is like that, always changing, never staying the same. Unpredictable. God is predictable and for that we say a huge PRAISE and are thankful for this characteristic of His. He is always good; He is always working for what is best for us and for the glory of His Kingdom. This is predictable. What is unpredictable is how He does things. He does not do things in ways we may be comfortable with, in fact sometimes His way to predictable is very unpredictable, not able to be understood. God is in control of our future, He is the solution, the One Who knows what we should do next. We are never in a situation that we can’t be navigated by God’s Holy Spirit. When things suddenly come up in our life path, we don’t like it so much when it takes us out of comfort zone. We are never alone, so don’t fret about those suddenly situations, God is with us, God is for us. When negative change rolls in, we always want to blame God or blame others. This is short for Be Lame. The situation with our climate, our world is always changing, our climate has never stayed the same, it is in constant flux, that doesn’t mean we are all going to die in 12 years and we need a green new deal that will do nothing to help us, that has hurt us more than helped us. Climate change is more of a Be Lame thing, where politically people are looking to push their agenda, and nothing about it is truth or science, just fear mongering nonsense. They have these doom and gloom forecasts that we hear every few years and we are still here! Be Lame! Climate is unpredictable, and so is the Creator and sustainer of our climate, as He uses weather for His various purposes. So many people arrogantly think they know what they don’t know, but God knows. The best thing we can do in times such as these, where the “Be Lame” game is played so often, is cling to God, dig your life roots in Him, He is predictable, He is constantly and forever working for what is best for us. He is always with us, and His temperament is not adjusted by the political culture of the day. God loves us. Period. God is for us. Period. God maintains what He created. Period. No conditions needed to be met, to experience the continuing care of God. He has freely given us His Awe God wisdom, love, provision, promise and truth. So, the best way to live predictable in an unpredictable season of life, is to hold on to the Rock of our Salvation, and walk in the truth of Jesus, the ONE Whose future is predictable and so is ours in Him.

It so hard to step out when we can’t see ahead. Density happens, where the circumstances we know we are to step out in all we see is density, kind of like looking into a forest and seeing the density of the trees and knowing you can’t navigate it without a guide. There are times like that in our lives where the density of the situation is so thick, we can’t see our next step, we can’t see a way through. The density can also be in our own heart. We have so much cluttering our heart, it is so dense that we can’t see much light and our hope dims as we try to move forward. The worst temptation we have when we can’t see ahead is to look in the rear-view mirror and long for those times where everything was clear. The problem with rear view mirror living, is we have more emotional crashes than we ever thought possible. We need to drive forward with God, no matter how dense the situation is, God has gone before us, God knows the way. In light of that awesome truth, we can clearly see we need to move forward in confidence and trust God even if He has asked us to step out, and grow through when we are standing on the edge of a forest, and we can’t see a clear direction. These are hard times to navigate, moving forward when we can’t see where we are going, but we do see the possible stumbling blocks ahead. Take one day at a time, and don’t despise small beginnings, do what you know God is asking you to do, and courageously step out, on this day, and do it. Life change is a hard place to be, but what makes it easy, is to wholly-holy align ourselves with God and step out and go with Him. God does not fail us; God is a trustworthy and an incredible guide. God will navigate us well, He knows the way to stay clear of the traps, to not fall into pits dug for us, to safely go where we have never gone before. God knows. As we trust Him, when we find ourselves lost in the density of the woods of our lives, it will end well, we won’t be lost in the forest, we will come out the other side and finish well. God bless ya.

How blessed are we? Incredibly Blessed! God made a commitment to us to be “Present” in our lives. Our Omnipresence God has kept His commitment, being with us as a steady sureness, and peace like no other. Our world is so chaotic right now, our culture is corrupting more and more each day. Peace is hard to find. Do you feel overwhelmed by the things happening in this world? I do. BUT, I know we have God in our lives, He is faithful to be Present in the all of our everything. What are the things we can be happy about right now? What are the things we can be grateful for right now? Blessings of God, they are there, and they are many, but sometimes our own discontentment hides them from being revealed to our soul and keeps us from recognizing God is right here, right now, with us and for us! God is unshakable peace, a rock, a fortress that is always open to us, a place of safety for us. God is our Advocate in our lives, the best of truth, wisdom, favor, goodness, and peace. If you don’t have courage during these difficult days, then ask God for it. God will give you a strength and a peace like no other. There is none like our God, Present With Us. Trust Jesus with your life, stand on the side of His truth and stay in followship of His Holy Spirit. How blessed are we? We can’t even measure! God bless you and yours as you cling to Him, dig your life roots deeply in His Kingdom.

There are so many things that “push” against our belief in Jesus Christ. We live in a society where more people want to “cancel God’ than people who embrace Him in personal relationship. How do we navigate? How do we find our way? The deception of our time is seeded by the enemy of our soul, who has enticed so many to believe that what is wrong is right and what is right is wrong. It is a twisted-up reality where what is illegal is now accepted as okay, where law is relative to what political party you are in. How can you fight against this? Especially when the Main Stream Media is pushing so many false narratives that create a fake reality that people live out of. The more the Cancel God current sweeps away all that is good, the less we have civility and our society becomes more and more lawless. We can’t fight against the corrupted FBI, DOJ, Executive Branch of Government, Congress, Senate , Main Stream Media, Hollywood, and so many more who are corrupted by the deception of the enemy of our soul. With everyone pushing left it becomes a current that no one can stop the flow of. We can fight against the cultural chaos, but to no avail, and completely exhaust ourselves as we fail to even walk upstream against the flow of it. BUT God, He can. That is why we need to stop trying to be the fixer, He is the Fixer, we are not. He is in control, He has not abdicated His Authority, but is working purposefully for our good, and the glory of His Kingdom. Evil is out of control, but God has a plan to boomerang their evil right back at them. When we light our own fires and walk by the light of a manmade fire, it will flame out and leave us in total darkness. The best thing to do against a strong “Cancel God” current is to yield to God, look to God for direction and stay in followship of Him. Let God navigate us by His strength, courage, wisdom and peace. God has a plan, it is good. Trust God. If we try to go it on our own, walking against the current in this rocky time, we will get all cut up emotionally and spiritually as we try to navigate the “Cancel God Current” in our own strength. It is just not going to happen; we can’t do it alone. This is a spiritual battle, and this battle belongs to the Lord. We need God. We can do all things with Jesus Who will strengthen us, equip us and make a way for us that no one else could. The endgame belongs to Jesus, He has the final say. Wait For It.

We all have hopes and dreams and are probably waiting on God for things we have ask Him to make a way for. Faith, it is the substance of things hoped for, but not seen. So, in that, we must know that we can’t focus on the negative circumstances, because where our focus in, there our soul goes. It is true it takes consistent faith, a constancy of holding up the shield of faith to fight off the deception of our time. Lies prevail in their trickery that leads us to the endgame of the enemy of our soul, to kill, steal our freedom and destroy our relationship with God. Active Faith, how do we keep it freely moving in our lives? Look at the Lord’s Prayer. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Active Faith is honoring, respecting and reverencing God and knows with great AWE the power of His name and uses His name in faith declarations and prayer. Give us this day our daily bread. Faith Asks God and believes that He will give us daily what we need, that He will equip us. Faith prays a prayer with an engaged heart that knows, no doubt about it, God will answer me. What increases our faith? Knowing God better, yielding our lives to Him. Thy Kingdom Come, They Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven. This is a sweet surrender. God, You know what is best for me, You know me like no other knows me, so what You bring to my life is what is best for me. Faith has a focus and that is Jesus Christ, that is why when we pray deliver us from temptation and evil, we know He can as we yield our lives to Him, listen up and surrender to His navigation, as we stop feeding our flesh most and feed our soul and spirit with His daily bread. Give us our daily bread for our soul, Jesus, feed us with Your wisdom, peace, strength, hope, grace, love and truth. So today, Heart To Heart, I pray knowing Jesus, making it personal with Him, less of religion, more of relationship will increase our faith. God bless ya.

This world can be very, very chaotic in times such as these. Peaceless! What is the way to peace? How is it defined? Being navigated by God to peace, is this a hard way to find and follow? No, the road is narrow to finding peace, it is found in the yielding of our lives to God, that place of total surrender to God. What a sweet place of heart, that total surrender of our lives, positioned before God in wholly-holy trust. Of course, it needs to be a surrendered trust to find peace. We should work towards giving God total access to our lives, because this is the way to peace. Chaos seeps into our soul when our heart is compartmentalized, giving priority to so many things other than God’s way, truth and life. The best thing we can do for our soul is to work towards having an undivided heart, being all in with God. When we yield to God, when we surrender to God, we find peace. How does this happen? Well, surrender is the way we activate our faith. We go from trust to activated faith, to peace. That wonderful Peace of Jesus, that surpasses all understanding. That beautiful “Shalom” which disrupts all the chaos in our lives. The peace of Christ, it is found as we bend our knee before God and position our hearts in humble trust of Him, making that heart-to-heart connection with God. Believing God wholeheartedly, this is a great way to activate our faith and will definitely lean us into the peace of God. Peace. I hope it for you, and me and for all who we love, as we navigate this cancel God culture, a society full out in the chaos of the lawlessness. From every moment into every choice, make the right choice to trust God, believe God, yield to God, and lean into His Sovereign Sway as you dig your life roots deeply in Him and His Kingdom. Resist the enemy’s chaos by doing good, and staying in close followship of God. God bless ya. Peace To You!

What an incredible God we have! He is trustworthy! What a fantastic steady Presence of peace, strength, hope and courage we have in Jesus. We are so blessed to have God Present with us in times such as these. Our first step to peace is embracing God, and trusting Him. Trust leans us into faith and faith increased leaves us with peace. I know this world is just a wee bit cra-cra right now. Nothing is as it was. There is the threat of war, the threat of nuclear annihilation, and our corrupted culture of chaos has turned our world upside down right where we live. Our border is wide open, so there is no security, it hardly feels like we are a nation at all. There are no solutions to the many problems our nation faces. It is a time of great deception, where you can’t believe anything anyone says, and there is a void in strong, honest leadership. The civil servants, are serving themselves, no power higher than self. Yet, our God is still here, and He has not left us, this amazing Advocate that we have. He is our steady sureness as everything stable seems to be shaking. Jesus is our peace and this peace surpasses all of our understanding, that seems to easily overwhelm us in times such as these. Yet, Jesus is our Rock, and we are so blessed to have His unfailing strength, security, and peace in times such as these. Nothing happening in our now really matters, we have a future and a hope in God, and He is with us, right at the center of all the cultural chaos, He reigns in truth and love. Truth can be so refreshing in times of great deceit, and Jesus is our Truth, a light that can’t be extinguished by the darkness. We are so grateful to be His. #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/gods-love/ https://rumble.com/v1apye8-tug-of-war.html

Life is full of opportunities. Some opportunities matter in that temporary kind of way and some truly matter in that forever kind of way. God sets us up with divine appointments with people who need encouragement and care. Jesus ministered to the masses a lot, but He also cared for “the one” and did it in such an excellent way. Compassion was constantly flowing from Jesus. In your day today, God will set you up with “the one” that one person that He wants to encourage with truth and love. Be aware how God is moving all around you, be aware of His Presence and His desire to encourage people. God has something for us to do every single day, even if it is a kind smile to a stranger, who probably needed just that. Be aware of the people around you, don’t be so busy that you don’t even notice people at all. One person, one person put in your life path on this day, a set-up of a “Divine Appointment” by God. God knows the needs of everyone, He knows the people He has equipped for the specific person that needs a blessing of kindness, compassion, truth or caring? Be the one for the one that God sets you up with today. God is so good at setting up relationships, bringing friendship into your life, He is also good at making a Divine Appointment, connecting a person with a need with a person He has equipped to meet that need. Be the one today for the one! We offer nothing less than all to Jesus, we give Him total access to our life, so we can be the one who meets all the Divine Appointments He has for us on this day. God bless ya.

Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him. This is the spiritual way for you to worship. Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect. Romans 12:1-2

Are you so busy that you are just not present with those you are with? Is your life plate so full that you can’t even give an ounce more of yourself to others? Who gets the short end of the stick when you are overburdened? It is usually those who have invested much in your life, they get overlooked when your life plate is too full. Time is short. To use our time on what matters most today, we truly need to be navigated by God’s Holy Spirit. God is with us. God wants to be a part of our lives. If we give God the first minutes of our day, sit before Him, yield our lives to Him, our next 12 hours to Him, He will make them matter. Because life is so short, we need to make a priority to invest the time we have been given in a way that matters. Think About It! There is someone who has invested much in your life, but you are so busy with everything that you have put on your life-plate, that you keep putting off talking with them. I will do it tomorrow. Famous last words. Those who invest much in you, they are the people that matter, the ones who have given you much. Use your time wisely, start with God first, He has given you much, yet you do not have time to spend with Him. Really, I am not meddling in your personal life, I am just giving you the best wisdom ever. Clear the things off your plate and let God put back the ones that matter. Take a deep breathe, listen up and be navigated by God, make your time matter. Be present in the lives of those that matter, don’t lose that opportunity to be and encourager to those who have invested much in you. Take a moment to contact them, be present in their lives, make them feel visible, valuable and viable to you. Don’t be so busy that you fly in and fly out of people’s lives barely noticing them, missing those divine appointments that God has for you in that moment. Make your time matter, because life is short, and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to be present in the lives of those who have blessed your life so much, especially the Lord God. Give God your best time, be present with Him, make it personal with Him, not just a duty devotional time, but a deeply related, vital-vertical relationship with God. Being so busy, that you are not aware of God, not present with God, not listening up to God, not connecting heart to heart with God, means time spent, time flying by without mattering eternally so. Don’t be that busy, busy person, be Present with God, be present with others, make your time matter.

Vital-Vertical relationship with God! What does that mean? It means my relationship with God is personal. I don’t have religion, I have relationship. I say NO to religiosity. I make it personal with God. Genuine, Real, Passionate relationship with God is always personal and vertical. We pray it up to God. We are loyal to God first, and that creates a relationship where there is no distractions of the enemy that can disrupt the vertical relationship with God through the chaos our enemy loves to throw at us. We are not disturbed or disquieted by the enemy. In a vital-vertical relationship with God, where we are making it personal with God, He becomes our chaos disrupter by His famous Peace that surpasses all understanding. We are tight, God and us, we have a vital-vertical relationship and we are strong in Him. God always has something to say. Listen up to God first. Don’t give people the permission to speak into your life, unless you know God is speaking into their lives. God needs to be the first One speaking into our lives. God has never lied! God is a God of wholly-holy truth. Our world is slammed packed with lie after lie over the air waves. We consume so many false narratives daily, that it is no wonder so many of us live with a fake reality. Assumptions, speculations, presuppositions, rationalizations are lies. People speaking lies straight from the pit of hell, knowing that what they are saying isn’t true, but out of an evil motive, they speak false narrative. Only God speaks the fullness of truth and it is to Him that we should listen up to first. Be careful who you let speak into your life, guard your heart from deception. Out of your heart flows the issues of your life, so be intentional with listening up to God first. Take time to listen up to God first. Make it personal with God. If you have a strong vital-vertical relationship with God, then your horizontal relationships with others is held up by God’s way, truth and life. Our lives should be the picture of a cross. In vertical relationship with God and horizontal relationship with others. If you have no vertical, your horizontal is down on the ground and there is no way you can hold it up for long, you can try, but it will fall. We need that vital-vertical relationship with God, absolutely so. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/crosses/ https://rumble.com/vbnbel-step-out-go-grow.html

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We human beings are the same in some ways, but uniquely different in others. We all have a body, soul and spirit. And we have a Common Denominator of our lives, and that is our Creator God. The enemy of our soul knows that our soul is our personality. We do life out of our soul, our feelings, our shape, our design, that makes us a unique person, all the issues of our lives are lived from our soul. The enemy loves it when He can disrupt our soul, and bring confusion and chaos into our lives. Disrupting our lives with chaos, makes us feel terrible, unstable in all of our ways, and we have trouble with our personality when we feel confusion that wraps our mind in anxiety. Cultural Chaos is rampant right now in times such as these, and it is easy to feel out of sorts because everything we have known as stability, is in a state of flux. It makes it so hard on our soul. Chaos is a difficult thing to handle, but GOD is an amazing disrupter of soul chaos. Even at the mention of His name, chaos is disrupted. The Word of God is living and alive in our hearts, and when we have a life-atmosphere where truth is prevalent, chaos is not allowed to function. We should not give the enemy of our soul permission to speak chaos into our lives and this happens as we truth in God’s Word into our mind. Shalom is the disruption of chaos and at the mention of the name of Jesus, peace is ushered into our soul. It is so amazing to experience chaos disintegrating at the mention of the name of Jesus. The enemy comes in like a flood of chaos at times, but God raises up a standard of truth against the enemy, and stops chaos immediately as peace soul saturates us. No weapon formed against us with prosper, because the name of Jesus, the name above all names is powerful, and able to disrupt the plans of the enemy and cease all chaos in our soul. Awe God.

Amazing God! I don’t think I will ever get over how incredibly amazing God is. I love the way He Advocates for us in the all of our everything. Life is not always going to work out the way we plan it, but God’s endgame is never what we thought it would be when we start out on the God Adventure with Him. God always finishes so well. Me, no so much. Apart from God, I struggle through and sometimes leave a mess on my life path. I have learned how much I need God to be a part of my life. I tore down all the compartments in my heart and I welcomed God in, hoping to live life with Him, wholly-holy His. I love this kind of living. It is amazing. I am not really good at anything, kind of normal, but in Christ, I am doing things I never thought possible for me to do. He has stretched my borders in ways I could never have begun to imagine my life to look like. I am so grateful to be His. His Infinite Love and Sovereign Will go hand in hand, so when His Will for me is so very hard to swallow, it goes down well with His Infinite Love, that surrounds my life and helps me grow through the tough days. God finishes what He starts. I never did until I met Him and He taught me in that miraculous way of His to cling to Him, dig my life roots deeply in Him. Have I had trouble in my life since I accepted Jesus in my heart… YES I have. Has He been with me and helped transform, deliver and teach me through the trials of my life, YES He Has. Awe Lord God! I love my vital-vertical relationship with Him. I love that I can look back on my life and see the heavenly hindsight of Providential Care of God, His purposes in play in my life, for my God. I worship Him. I love Him. I love His Truth. I love His Kingdom perspective that keeps my life focused off the bad and on the good. He is so merciful, I don’t deserve anything He has done for me, the changing of my life into His Image has been the sweetest grace in action I have ever experienced. God has done more for me than I could have ever hoped for or imagined and that is why I can confidently say to you all, put God first, and hook up with Him in a vital-vertical relationship, making it personal with God. You will not regret this choice. I promise. I have been loved, navigated, taught and changed and ready to step forward in God’s wisdom, strength and courage from every moment into every choice of my day. I am one thankful daughter of God. God bless you and yours. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/firstee/ https://rumble.com/vbnbel-step-out-go-grow.html

Have you lost your Awe of God? AWE is that overwhelming feeling of respect, honor and reverence when we experience things that miraculously overwhelm our senses. AWE is also thinking on God, all the majesty of His power, presence, perfection, purpose and providence. It is incredible how the increasing of our Awe of God, also boomerangs back on our trust of Him and as that trust stays consistent, our faith stabilizes and makes for a firm foundation for our soul in crazy times such as these. It all begins with Awe, just reverently bowing our hearts in appreciation of all He has done, all He has created, all He is. Awe is not a difficult thing to increase because God is so alive in the all of our everything. Sometimes, you can just pick up the Bible and read of God and the Awe that rises up, it soul saturates us with peace. I have loved developing my Awe of God and I highly suggest that we all become more aware of God in our lives and stand in Awe of Him, reverently honoring Him, respectfully yielding to Him and with abundance of praise and thanksgiving restoring our Awe of Him.

Got a decision to make? At a crossroad in your life? Are you wracking your brain and over thinking things? I have been there and done that. A lot of times I am so unsure what to do when I am at a life crossroad, and I know I need to make a decision, and I think. Overthinking is so exhausting and it increase our anxiety over the situation, which really fogs things up more and we struggle to find our way. Those are such peaceless times. We can work ourselves up to a frenzy trying to decide what to do. You know what we forget? We forget God is with us and we underestimate His power to guide us. The best thing to do is wait on God. God is not in fret or anxiety; God waits until we yield all things us, so we are no longer pushing forward with no power higher than ourself. God directs us by peace. God will guide us, no doubt about it, He will navigate us at that crossroad we find ourselves at. We should wait on God, pray, seek counsel, get in the Word and wait for God’s peace to guide us. When we don’t know the next step to take, we ask God, we wait on His peace, He will guide us. We are not alone; God is with us and He will guide us. While we are waiting, we have an active faith, and we continue doing what we already know God has told us to do. So, Heart To Heart, we continue doing what we know, and wait on God as long as it takes. God is faithful, His direction will come, we will have His peace.

I love end of the day as the sun is setting on the day. I like to think about the happenings of the day and seeing all that God did in the day. He definitely treks through with us, and when you really look back on your day, you can see His Hand in your day. Sometimes we get so busy and then we are exhausted at the end of a day and we miss out on all those little miraculous things God did throughout the day. Then there are those stormy tumultuous days were everything that could go wrong goes wrong and sometimes you can’t even begin to reconcile some of the things that happened and your soul is in an uproar emotionally at the end of the day. It is those times, that we need to hand over to God all the unreconciled things. Lord, here you go, I can’t fix that, can you hold on to it, can you make a way for that crooked path to be straightened out, because I sure can’t. At the end of the day if you want to lay down in peace and sleep, this is a necessary thing. Hand it over, everything that is still not finished that is not looking like it will end well, give it to God, that is the safest, best place for it. If you don’t, believe me, not much sleep will be had. Whenever you get ready to retire for the evening the best thing to do is think of good things. Whatever things are good, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are peaceful and pure, think on these things. Gratefulness really promotes a peaceful atmosphere in your soul and makes it easier to sleep at night. So, think on some things you can be grateful for, and let that peace that surpasses all understanding soul saturate you and sleep well. Sweet Dreams Heart To Heart.

It used to be that “Justice” was clearly defined, and now it is absolutely not, it is polluted by Political agendas, by people who serve no power higher than self-advancement. You never like to step into murky waters, because you don’t know what is in them. It is always great to step into water where you can see the bottom, it is clear, clean and not polluted. It is just not so with the Justice Department, with anything legal, you never know what the outcome will be when you step into a court of law, but you do know it won’t be the purity of righteousness in the justice you receive, it will be polluted. Many say in a time such as this that True Justice is dead. How sad is that? How did we fall so far? Where we have no confidence in our Federal Government? A jury says not guilty, and we can’t believe in it anymore, the verdicts are so tainted by political rot. Justice is not even lopsided anymore; it is totally leaning into the politically correct left. God is a God of Justice and all those used by the enemy for injustice will reap what they have sown. Evil may have its way right now, but there will come a day when God, Who is on the move and working on our behalf in the unseen says: “ENOUGH” and in that season, His justice will prevail and unclear injustice will clear up like a beautiful blue sky. Do you have injustice in your life? Don’t react, turn to God, Your Advocate, because He will soon make things right and He will guide you into the right response to your injustice. Our God of Justice has a way of straightening out crooked paths. Watch and wait in prayer, God’s Justice will prevail, soon and very soon, the injustices will boomerang right back on those who dealt them out. God’s Justice Will Prevail. Wait For It! Pray It Up!

Darker and darker the human condition is on a downward spiral. Deceit, lawlessness, hate, anger all accompany the illegitimate grab of power. These times do stretch our faith, they are dark times, and the state of humanity is not good, yet we are never without Jesus, The Light of The World. We have to focus on whatever light we have, because there is always light, God’s light can’t be extinguished. Stay focused on the people who are good, stay wholly-holy aligned with the God of all goodness. Listen up to God’s Truth. This may be a dark night in the history of human kind, but joy comes in the morning. A downward spiral can be stopped and redirected by an upward light of God’s glory. Every day it gets worse and worse here in this world. We have fallen so far away from You, Jesus, and we don’t deserve anything less than Your wrath, Father God. You are a merciful God, but I am not even sure we deserve Your mercy. I know You are a God of Justice, so I pray You make things just for all, that every evil deed will be exposed and expunged by You, that Your Justice will prevail. I feel in my spirit that things are going to get worse. Lord God, help us to patiently endure, help us to go out with joy, each day in Your strength, peace, and courage. Help us to take the time to be soul saturated with Your Truth, Jesus, so we can step out and from every moment to every choice, from faith to faith, make the next right choice. Help us Holy Spirit, equip our belief, trust and may we always obey You as You navigate us through these times. Father God, we pray You keep our enemy at bay, protect us and thank you so much for your amazing Advocacy over us. Goodness still illuminates in the dark. To resist the enemy, we do good, we make the next right choice. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/a-mighty-fortress/

Rejection Stinks! How can we not feel the pain of rejection, or not struggle with the thoughts of rejection when we have a human condition? The enemy likes to throw out so many thoughts into our mind about not being good enough, about feeling left behind, about being rejected, about not being chosen, about being left out. Our enemy hates it when we feel accepted by God and others, it does not work with his wicked schemes and crafty plans for us to feel rejection that leads to disillusionment and destroys our confidence and faith in God and others. When we pick up the offense of rejection, laid down by the enemy, who delights in setting us up to emotionally fail, then we are immediately entrapped in his snare and isolated, which is where he wants us. Is the feeling of rejection real? What does that mean? Well? Is it in our reality of truth or is it just an assumption of rejection? Sometimes we think we are giving God our all, being all in with Him, so we won’t feel rejected, and our expectations don’t include not be chosen or not to be a priority to others. We have given and given, but have we given with open hands? What is our motive for giving? Who are we giving too? Is it God, or is it others? Do we do what we do unto God, because He has asked us to do it? Or are we serving no power higher than self? Because if we give looking to receive something back, then the enemy of our soul will jump in that open door to our soul, and make us feel rejected and disillusionment, so we don’t want to be a giver anymore. Jesus was actually rejected and He said we would be rejected because of him. Sometimes we chase after people who do not want to be caught, and we feel rejection and we cry out to God and He gives us the wisdom that helps heal our soul. Life is such. There is human condition in all of us and sometimes the feelings of rejection overwhelm us, and we say: I am done. I am done caring. And God says: “That is good. Glad you are finally done. That is a good place to be, done. Stop chasing after people, that is My job. I am the one Who is the chaser, I am the One Who changes hearts. Not You. If you chase after ME, my child, I will be caught by You, and I am the only One you truly need and the ONLY One Who will never reject you. Be found in Me, live, laugh and love unconditionally, and let go and let Me work with people. This kind of living, attached to Me first, will assure that you will no longer be tripped up by the enemy when it comes to “feeling rejected”, those are his lies. Seek Me, seek My truth, and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free from rejection lies of the enemy that are meant to keep you constantly discouraged. Truly, rejection is a feeling that comes to you with lies that the enemy feeds you.” Therefore, the God Truth will keep us free from the feelings and sting of rejection. Truly, there will be victory over rejection when we lay down our rights, when we bow, yielding to God in the all of our everything, our soul smoothly sails from strength to strength through trials, relationship strife, rejection, and hard times. The key to fighting off the wiles of the enemies “head talk” about rejection, is to bow our lives to God, yield our rights to God every morning, and be empowered and equipped by God, more of His character in us, less of our human condition in play.

Followship is being directed by God from every moment to every choice, it is going to grow through our lives, by His way, truth and life. This is a great thing for us as human beings with crazy emotions. Why? Well, we have some crazy emotions that stir up. Our human emotions are something we can’t escape from; we have to handle them, and sometimes we do it in a good way that is not so good a way and it doesn’t end very well. We need God’s help with our emotions, truly, He is the only One who knows us best, so common sense says, He is the best one to talk to. A lot of times we choose to stuff our emotions, so we have that BOOM moment where they all come out in that KABOOM kind of way, and sadly we throw them up all over the people who happen to be around us. What a mess, a stanky mess, because we have held our emotions in for a long time, not wanting to deal with them and that powder keg of emotions, sparked by the next thing… KABOOM, they come up! This is exactly what we don’t want to do. We need to change it up so we don’t have those emotional boom-kaboom moments. Been there and done that and hate it when it happens, because I know it could have been avoided if I daily stayed in a vital-vertical relationship with Jesus, sharing my whole life with Him. Okay, so let’s handle our emotions better by taking them to God, talking it up with God. No more stuffing! Tell God what you are feeling, believe me, He can handle it. Moment by choice, let’s learn to take our feelings to God, share them with God and let Him shape them by His Truth. Go to grow, is simply-significantly not having a life where we compartmentalize things. Well, I can share this with God, but I don’t want to talk to Him about this. God wants us to be Wholly-Holy-His and share with God everything. He is with us all day long, He takes no breaks, so we talk with God about the emotions as they occur, and ask for help, letting God help navigate us by His Word. Give God Total Access To Our Lives. Wouldn’t it be sweet to flip-flop the negative human reaction into a Godly response? That is called self-control. We definitely can’t “do” self-control in our own strength, it takes God’s strength in us. I hope to see us all “grow through” the tough situations we find ourselves in where our emotions are strong and sometimes very rank. I hope we choose the right way of no stuffing, and not the wrong way of I will deal with this later, because the later will not be very pretty, it will be a flesh out of emotions, a Kaboom. Boom! Kaboom! Have you ever fleshed out in ways you could never have imagined doing and then you want to bury your head in the sand. Have you ever thrown up emotionally all over everyone! How embarrassing that is! Make the better choice to “go to grow”, and grow through your negative emotions by talking to God about them, He loves it when we do that, when we allow Him total access to our lives, because He has a great endgame to our hard situations. No Stuffing Emotions! Talk it up with God, the result is so much better. Go To Grow With God. Have a wonderful day. #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/sudden-changes/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/veg2qz-disruptive-emotions.html #HeartToHeart https://rumble.com/vaxw1t-it-is-noisy-so-noisy.html

Sometimes it is hard to wrap our mind around the ways of God. Bad people make bad choices, do things unjustly, falsely accuse people, lie about people and they seem to get away with it. Then we have those who are good, who are falsely accused and get no justice. These things bother me until I chose to remember truth, that God’s point of view, His kingdom perspective is long and my worldly viewpoint is short, and that is why I need to activate my faith, which is the believing in the substance of things not seen. This is when I decide that I must trust in what I know. Well, what do I know? I know God is fair. I know God is just. I know God is working out everything for our good, for our best, so He can get amazing glory from His end game. I know God is faithful. I know God finishes well and that He is a trustworthy Advocate. We think we have to balance the scales of injustice, that everything needs to turn out fair. This is not life. Sometimes an outcome is just not fair. These are the times we remember that God is a God of justice and His justice will prevail. Wait on it, patiently endure and see how God’s ways may not be our ways, but the endgame is so amazing and turns out to be for our best and for His glory. The worst injustice to deal with is when a person is actually doing what is bad and then they deny they are doing it and accuse someone innocent of doing it. Deny-Accuse, a tactic of the enemy that is so frustrating and really makes me angry. When an injustice has occurred and the situation seems so unfair, remember that we have God’s strength inside of us, we have the strength to be self-controlled and patiently wait while God is at work in the unseen. We can patiently endure in Christ, by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. Our strength is in the Lord. Awe-God! Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.
