Proverbs 14:29 New King James Version 29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is [a]impulsive exalts folly. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! I badly needed what was in this morning scripture, because I have moments in my life where I don't think first before I speak. I shoot my mouth off, and it gets me in trouble, so I need God's help to think very carefully about what someone is saying to me or about me, for discernment as to how to respond to it, and to respond in a way that honors Him. The questions from this morning's devotional really speak volumes on this, and I feel it important to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will use them to help you see how important it is to think first before you speak. How has James’ instruction helped you in the past? How can you employ it today? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word on this subject, through this vlog like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage you to seek God in prayer, and ask Him to help you be quick to listen, and slow to become offended. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn the precious truths of being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger yourself! 😊 As I close this post for tonight, I urge all of you to seek the Lord every day in what you say and do. Ask for His guidance in what you say whether it is in person or online, so that it is glorifying and honoring to Him. I challenge you today and every day, to do as Psalm 141:3 states, and ask God to set a watch over your mouth and guard the door of your lips. Ask His help in not only controlling your tongue, but to help you think about what someone is saying to you, to help you be slow to become offended, and if there is a legit issue concerning what that person is saying about you, or to you, to give you the words needed to speak the truth and love on the matter. Ask God to help you steer away from ANY gossip or saying anything hurtful or nasty about or to anyone, so that the words you speak whether in person or online bring glory and honor to Him! Most of all, ask God to help you remember this one important thing: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say ANYTHING at all!” UNTIL THURSDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Isaiah 2:4 New King James Version 4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning [a]hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore. AND ALL THE “SCRAPS” WILL BECOME THINGS OF BEAUTY. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! Tell me something my friends. Where have you seen evil transformed by God’s love? I said this in June of 2023 and I'm going to repeat this, because I think it's important. I know there’s a lot of craziness taking place in our world today. For example, look at what's going on in the Ukraine, then take a look at what is going on in Israel. While people think it started on October 7th, it's been going on for thousands, and people need to realize Israel is a real nation that deserves to exist. We are literally seeing wars and rumors of wars right now, as well as yes genuine instances of bigotry, racism, and discrimination, but also we're looking for evil where none exists. This is resulting in so much conflict, anger, and hatred, that I believe it's breaking God's heart. What I'd like to do right now my friends, is share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this blog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will challenge and encourage you to want to be God's change. That you allow Christ to work through you to bring beauty in this world and allow God to turn the “scraps” of this world into beauty for Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this reality for yourself! So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will challenge and encourage you to want to be God's agent of change to bring beauty into this world in His name. How can you turn scraps into beauty? My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you ask God today to help work through you to bring beauty and change into this world today. That you will realize that in the midst of all the conflict, racial, political, religious, and philosophical divides that are out there today, that Jesus Christ is the one who has the first last and every say in it all! Choose to look to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, as your true source of hope and joy in the midst of all the craziness that is going on in our world and know that in the end God wins! Most of all, I pray that you will be on the side of the redeemed when the time comes. If you're not, and you'd like to be, here's a link where you could know more about it. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL WEDNESDAY: HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Colossians 3:2 New King James Version 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! I'm gonna get into this guys and ask these questions from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that they challenge, but most of all that they get you to thinking about where your is to be. What are you focused on? I was thinking about this question, not just after reading scripture, but also the very powerful message that my pastor Joe Foch preached on the necessity of prophecy, and it really burdened to share something with all of you through this vlog tonight. What I have to share I feel is important, because I believe that we need to make sure that our focus is on the vertical, which is Christ Jesus and not the horizontal, which is the world. That what should be central to our identity, is who we are in Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to keep your focus on the right thing, which is Jesus Christ! 😊 So, as I close this post with all of you, I want to leave you final question warnings devotional I pray that it will change you to not only see where your focus ought to be, what's your focus into where it ought to be. How can you shift your focus to more of an eternal perspective? My prayer for all of you tonight is that you really take these questions seriously, but also think about the fact that you have a reason to rejoice. That whatever it's, abilities, gifts, or anything else that God has given you and I, our greatest cause for rejoicing, is that if we have placed our faith and trust in Christ to save us, that we are God's redeemed sons and daughters, written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and to live like it. I think we start in that area, by asking God to help us to keep our eyes on him. To help us remove our gaze from the horizontal that is the world, but keep it focused on Jesus. That's not an easy thing, because look at all the insanity that's going on in the world out there. To ask God to help us stay grounded in His Word. To ask God to help us not focus on the vertical, the crazy, and the chaos that is going on in our world today, but to focus on and rejoice in the fact that we are redeemed in Christ Jesus, that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and to not be afraid to share the good news of Jesus with others. That's how we keep our focus on Jesus guys! UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A MELLOW, PEACEFUL, AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 John 4:10,19 New King James Version 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 19 We love [a]Him because He first loved us. AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THIS!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! What an incredible concept, to know that God loved us first. Amazing is it not? I thought about this as I read not only this morning’s scripture, but recalling other verses in scripture that taught the fact that God loved us first, and I can't help but be so thankful for this. The even more interesting part of this is that we are unable to do anything to earn that love, but all we need to do is accept it. I think that's why I agree with Monica LaRose, this morning's devotional writer when she said the following: “As Human beings, trust doesn't come naturally to many of us. So if experiencing God's grace and love were dependent on our ability to trust and receive it, we'd be in trouble!” That's why I'm so glad that God loved me first, and that that love is such a free gift and I'm glad I took it. I'm also incredibly challenged, as well as encouraged by the questions from this morning's devotional on this matter, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will open your eyes to see His abundant beauty and love toward you. In what ways have you experienced God's grace, “drop by drop” in your life? How has God's love helped you overcome fear in exchange for hope and trust? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from His Word this morning, but things I have been learning from is word throughout my walk with Him, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you helps you to see the precious truth on how God loved you first and still does. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn this precious, beautiful truth for yourself! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that as you recall all the experiences in which you've experienced God's “drop by drop” grace in your life, that you won’t be afraid to thank Him for it. Think of all the ways that God has helped you overcome fear in exchange for hope and trust and rejoice and be grateful for what He has done, is doing, and will continue to do for you. Take time today think of all the reasons that you have to love God and pour out your heart in praise and thanks to Him for it. Thank Him for loving you first even when your heart was too wounded and hurting to trust Him and live out every day the “drop by drop” love and grace that He offers you to others, so that you will one day find yourself experiencing showers of God's abundant beauty and love in your life. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL MONDAY EVERYBODY: HAVE A RESTFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 121:1-2 New King James Version 121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. AND IT’S NEVER AN INCONVENIENCE FOR HIM TO HELP US!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! There was something about this morning scripture, that I badly needed, because I have moments where like I'm inconveniencing God when I come to Hin in prayer. I sometimes feel like I have no right I'm in prayer, because most aren't worthy enough, or important enough to bring to Him, so sometimes I hold back in my prayers not comfortable. I think that's why I really need questions from this morning’s devotional to help me see through the lives of Satan, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will help you to see the same truths too. How comfortable are you taking your cries to God? Why? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share something that God showed me from this morning scripture, through this blog I'd like to share with tonight, and I pray that we're with you will help you to see that you never need to feel like you're inconveniencing God with your prayers. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself that you never need to be afraid to just cry out to God, because he is truly faithful and will gladly act on your behalf always! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask this final question from this morning’s devotional, and I want to make it as a challenge to all of you to not be afraid to offer up your prayers to God today. How might you offer up a lament to Him today? I pray tonight my friends, that with whatever dark moment, whatever heartache, struggle, or trauma that you’re experiencing right now, that you will not be afraid to cry out to the One who is always ready, willing, and to respond. That in those moments of darkness and desperation, you can cry out to God, knowing that He will hear, and that He will faithfully, gladly, and willingly intervene on your behalf. Know that because we are God's redeemed children, we have every reason and right to call on him, because He truly hears and cares for all of us, and that is because of His great love for us. Never be afraid to cry out to a faithful God!!! 😊 UNTIL SUNDAY DEAR FRIENDS: HAVE A SERENELY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 John 4:1 New King James Version 4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! You know gang, as I was reading this morning's scripture as to what Jesus was saying about false prophets, I was reminded instances in my life, where I grew up exposed to false teaching, and actually thought it was straight from God's Word, when it really wasn’t. I've been especially thinking about false teachings that are going on right now, not just the things that are going on within the independent Fundamental Baptist Church, but also the false teachings of Q/Q Anon, and the very prevalent deification of a human being and Donald Trump. I get a specially concerned on this, because I see Christians falling for it, and that's very much not good. I think that's why I find the questions from this morning's devotional so important for all of us to really think about, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them so that you can discern the truth. What spiritual warning has been speaking to your heart? How has scripture confirmed a warning to you? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I have been learning from God's Word on this matter (still am) through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will open your heart to see the importance of examining the veracity, and validity of what people are saying in God's name, by going to God's Word, and reading it for yourself to see the truth. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to listen to the warnings that are out there against the false teachings, by testing the scriptures for yourself! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you with something, and I pray that you'll listen. If the Holy Spirit is trying to warn you of something, in particular some type of danger that you may not be seeing, don't ignore that warning, but listen to Him, and to act on it! If someone’s claiming to be speaking for God, telling you that doesn't ring well with you, go to God's Word, examine what they are saying the scriptures. If what they are saying, is not in line with God’s Word, don’t be afraid to speak out against it, and if you need to RUN from that person/false teaching now! Remember, my friends, that God has given us His Word, God has given us His Holy Spirit, to help give us discernment and wisdom when it comes to these things, so we need to listen to both of them. Let's ask God to help us read the Bible's warnings, as well as what the Holy Spirit is telling us through His Word, to be able to run from spiritual danger, and into God’s loving arms of refuge. UNTIL SATURDAY: HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Mark 10:45 New King James Version 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! I have to say guys that every time I've read this morning's passage of scripture, I always learn something new from it, and today was no different. As I was reading this passage of scripture, I was not only reminded of what it means to serve others lovingly, humbly, and willingly without wanting attention, but I was reminded through the questions from this morning's devotional about what it really means to be a servant, and I'd like to share those questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them and give you motivation to be a humble servant too. When has someone unexpectedly offered to help you with a difficult task? Why is humility such an important aspect of serving others? I found these questions as I said before, very intriguing, as well as joyful, because when it came to especially the first one, the very first thing that came to my mind in this area was my husband, Ricky. In the going on 24 years that we have been married, he has always helped me out around the house, and when I have become unable to do certain tasks, he's the one that's taken them up. The one thing I appreciate about him every day, is that he makes me coffee and breakfast every morning, and it makes my heart sing. I'd like to share some things tonight from this morning's scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage, challenge, and motivate you to want to be a true, humble, and willing servant for the Lord, that genuinely wants to serve Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to be a true, genuine, humble servant for Jesus Christ! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you will take on the same example of Jesus in being willing to serve others genuinely, humbly, and joyfully. To remember as Warren Wiersbe states so well, “It takes humility and grace to serve others, but it also takes humility and grace to allow others to serve us. The beautiful thing about a submissive spirit is that it can both give and receive to the glory of God.” I pray today that will you act on the fact that as Cindy stated in this morning's devotional, “Every avenue of service we encounter may look different, but one thing’s the same: there's great joy in serving.” UNTIL FRIDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A TRANQUIL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Deuteronomy 30:19 New King James Version 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; THE QUESTION IS, WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE??? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! I have to say that no matter how many times I read this particular passage of scripture, there is something about it that challenges my heart, because especially right now we are facing that same dilemma. Do we choose God or the world? Do we choose to follow God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, or do we reject Him for the world and the things it offers? I also found it very interesting on what this morning's devotional stated as to how we make so many countless decisions, (773,618 to be exact) but of those decisions, to regret 143,262 of them, really seems serious. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional really tugging at my heart today and bringing back memories of choices I've made. A lot of which I've regretted. I think that's why I'd like to share these questions from this morning's devotional with all of you tonight, and I pray that they get you to thinking about the choices you make. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that what I share with you in these questions will challenge your heart to get you to think about the choices you are making. What choices have you regretted making? How might you have handled those situations more wisely? I'd like to share some things that God has shown me from His Word, not just from what I read this morning, but also from what I have read from his word throughout the years, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will help you to see how important it is to seek God in the choices that you make. Come join me in this vlog tonight and learn just what it means to choose God over the world! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to echo something I shared a few days ago, because I feel it's very important, and i pray that you'll listen to it. I pray tonight, that if you are at a crossroads in a particular area of your life, if you are facing a situation in which you don't know what choice to make, I urge you to seek the Lord and His wisdom for whatever it may be. I pray that you will seek God's wisdom, guidance, and direction for whatever decision/choice you are making, and that if someone, even someone that claims to be speaking for God, is trying to pressure, seduce, or intimidate you into doing otherwise, that you ask God for the courage to stand up against them. Stand strong in your faith and convictions, even if it costs you everything, but make sure that the choice you make is a wise one. UNTIL THURSDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A SERENE, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Corinthians 10:6 New King James Version 6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. SO, WE DON’T REPEAT THEM. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! I have to say guys, this morning’s Scripture brought back some rather interesting memories in my life of how my dad and yes even my mom, would bring up past mistakes I made, not to do what Paul’s doing here, but to belittle, manipulate, and gaslight me into submission. I’ve been thinking a lot lately of some of the things that have happened in my life, especially mistakes and failures, but from a different perspective. I see them from the perspective that God has forgiven me of these things, that He has forgotten my sins and mistakes, but also has given me the opportunity to remember them. Not to browbeat me or manipulate me, but as genuine learning opportunities. I think that's why I found the questions from this morning's devotional so important, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them. What warning should we recall when tempted to sin? I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage and motivate you to not only want to learn from your past mistakes, but to do so from a perspective of having been forgiven. To do so with the desire to not only never make those mistakes again, but also to help others avoid making the same mistakes you have. Come join me in this vlog tonight and see just what I mean! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this last question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to not just learn from your mistakes, but also live as the forgiven child of God that you truly are. How can we learn from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others? I pray tonight, that if you are living in the bonds of your past, if you are living in the shackles of mistakes, failures, and sins that you've committed in the past, come before the Lord, and confess and repent of them today. If you’ve confessed and repented of those sins, ask God to help you remember and realize the fact that you are a forgiven, redeemed child of God whose Heavenly Father has not only forgiven you, but buried them in the sea of forgetfulness! Choose to learn not only from your mistakes, but also the mistakes of others, so that you don't repeat them. Ask God every day to help you learn from failures so that you can be more obedient to Him, and Him alone. SO, UNTIL WEDNESDAY HAVE A TRANQUILLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS

Matthew 20:26-28 New King James Version 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! As many of you probably know, today is known as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and they call it a day of service. I have to say something on this, and I pray that people will listen. I'm not against this man or celebrating this day in any way, shape, or form. Dr. King was a godly man who stood up for righteousness, stood against the evil of racism and bigotry, but this man was pro-life, pro faith, and pro-family. So as such, I firmly believe would not be impressed by the wokeism going on today. As my husband Ricky stated earlier today, I think he'd be giving people within Antifa and BLM such a verbal tongue lashing they wouldn't know what hit them. I think that Dr. King would truly be disgusted with all the wokeism being done in his name, because it's not truly done to help others, but only to promote unbiblical leftist causes. I think that's why I found this morning scripture, as well as this morning's devotional very challenging to my heart, because I believe that we have strayed from what God had intended through doctor king, and I'd like to share the questions from this morning's devotional tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will encourage and challenge your heart through them too. What are your current personal and career goals? What doors could you open for others right now? I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will encourage and motivate you to want to use whatever position God has given you to serve others in Jesus' name. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself what true greatness is in genuinely serving Jesus! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that what I shared in this vlog tonight, will convict your hearts as to your attitude and motivations in your service to others, but most of all in your service to Jesus Christ. That you won't seek to be the greatest, best, or “top dog” in whatever you do, but that you choose to do what you do for Christ Jesus and Him alone. I truly pray especially that you will follow not only Dr. King's example, but also the example of Nichelle Nichols, and learn to never be content with a personal win alone, but Ask God to help you use whatever position, whatever talent, gift, ability, or situation to serve others in Jesus’ name. UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Colossians 3:1-3 New King James Version 3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! I know this may sound trite guys, but I really needed this morning scripture. I needed what was in this to remind me to keep my gaze fixed on Jesus Christ. To not be looking around at the horizontal but focus on the vertical, because if I do anything else, let's just say my mind is full of chaos. My attention goes all over the place, and that's not good. I think that's why the questions from this morning’s devotion are so incredibly challenging to me, and I’d like to share that with you tonight. Please read this question very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them too. Where do you normally fix your attention? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I learned not only from this passage of scripture, but from some others that God showed me from His Word, through this blog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you helps you see the importance of keeping your gaze on Jesus Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight and learn how to keep your gaze on Christ! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask you this question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it helps you to seek the peace that only God offers, through fixing your gaze on Him. How might you renew your gaze on God? My prayer for all of you tonight my friends, is that you learn what true peace is. That you learn to realize that peace is truly the gift for every person who chooses to fix their gaze on God. That in a world overflowing with threats and dangers all around us, there's something that we need to arrest our attention, the true source of happiness, calm, and lasting peace, is found only through Jesus Christ, and we need to make sure that our gaze, our focus is fixed on Him. Remember that as we choose to spend time meditating on God's word, memorizing scripture, and letting God's word plant itself in our hearts, that we will truly KNOW the peace that God offers. Let's make sure that we are focusing on the vertical not the horizontal, and that we are keeping our gaze truly and totally fixed on Jesus Christ. UNTIL MONDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A SWEET, BLISSFUL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Romans 5:3-4 New King James Version 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces [a]perseverance; 4 and perseverance, [b]character; and character, hope. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! There were so many things that I found precious in this morning scripture I don't know if I could fit them all in this journal post right now. I've read this passage of scripture countless times, but every time I do read it, God speaks to me through it in ways that blow my mind and today was no different. I was especially challenged as well as encouraged by the questions from this morning's devotional, because God has put many wonderful godly people in my life to help encourage me in my faith journey, and I pray that He's done that for you too. I invite all of you to check these questions out, so that you can see just how important it is to keep your eyes on Christ. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will encourage as well as challenge your heart through them too. Who’s inspired you to keep going in your faith journey? How does their example encourage you to endure in times of trial and hardship? I was really thinking about these verses, about what it means to persevere, to endure, to keep going, even when you feel like you can't do it anymore, and I recalled a lot of moments in my own life where I was in that particular situation, but God gave me what I needed to keep going. What I'd like to do tonight my friends, is share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage, and motivate you to persevere and keep going. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn just how, with Christ’s help that you can do this! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to encourage you to think about the questions from this morning's devotional and ask God to help you remember those who have inspired you to keep going in your faith journey and keep going. Remember that when trials, persecutions, life’s challenges, or any kind of traumatic situation that comes up in your life, that tries to make things harder to keep going, remember the example of those who have persevered in Christ. Remember those who chose to look to and take God at His word, trusted in His provision, endured the trials, and just kept going, and keep going yourself. Remember, my friends, that when we choose to fix our eyes on Jesus, He will do what Isaiah 40:31 states, when we are weary, and feel like we can't go on, and will give us everything that we need to keep going! SO, UNTIL SUNDAY DEAR ONES: HAVE A SUPREMELY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Proverbs 10:9 New King James Version 9 He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! So, tell me something my friends. When have you experienced God’s redeeming action, such as Reza and Joseph did? How does Joseph’s story help you to trust Him more? You know, I believe that Joseph and integrity go hand in hand, because Joseph had it. He had both honor and integrity, and even though he got put in a prison for something he didn't do, God was still there with him. I wonder how many people can say that in their own lives. How many of you out there can say that God was there for you, even when you were trashed for doing the right thing? That God was there for you when you got fired from your job because you wouldn't do something dishonest, or you got expelled from your church, because you exposed evil. I deeply thought about that as I was reading not only this morning's passage of scripture, but also passages of God's word on what integrity is all about, and I wanted to share some things with you tonight about that through this vlog, and I pray that what I share with you, challenges you and encourages you to want to be a person of integrity, even when everyone else dumps on you for it Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to be a person of true integrity, even when only God sees it! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you will take the story of Joseph and claim the promises of God through it. That whatever you put your hand to, whatever you set your mind to, that when you put God first, and you are a person of integrity and honor, that God will be there for you, and bring you success, even if you get dumped on for doing what's right. Whether you get fired from your job, turned on by your own family, or facing literal or figurative prison, you will turn to the Lord and trust that He will never leave you. Know that in the end, God will vindicate you, give you justice, and that just as He was there for Joseph, He will be there for you, and again will never leave you. Just look to him for the hope and strength that you need, to see His work in your life, and know that God will stay close to you always. UNTIL SATURDAY EVERYBODY: HAVE A SWEET, PEACEFUL, AND BLISSFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Peter 1:14-15 New King James Version 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! I found this morning scripture incredibly challenging, encouraging, and yes convicting. I found it this way, because I and I believe many of you as well too, suffer from what Peter was experiencing, and I wonder about what's gonna happen to the person next to me that's a Christian. Usually, it's because either I'm just outright nosey, or I'm being unjustly, unnecessarily, and unbiblically compared to another person. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional really got me to thinking about this particular issue, and how important it is to focus on following Jesus, and Jesus alone. So, I'd like to share those questions with you tonight, and I pray that they will get you to thinking about what it means to just simply follow Jesus and make our focus on him. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge you in this area. How are you tempted to compare your faith walk with others? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will help you to see how important it is to keep your focus on Jesus and not on others around you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to just simply follow that simple request that Jesus gives all of us, and that is to just “Follow Me!” 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and i pray that it will help you and encourage you to make your focus Jesus and Jesus only. How will you keep your focus on Jesus today? I think it starts with asking Jesus to first and foremost help you to not only keep your eyes on Him, but help you remember that in whatever you are doing, whether it's cleaning toilets, sweeping floors, flipping burgers, singing in the choir, or any activity that you do in church for the Lord, to remember that you are to do it for the glory of God. I pray especially that you follow these very important words from Warren Wiersbe on this matter, when he says, “God has His plan for us; He also has plans for our Christian friends and associates. How He works in their lives is His business. Our business is to follow Him as He leads us (see Rom. 14:1-13).” In short, my friends, we need to be focusing on following Jesus. In short, we need to focus on our faith journey with God, and what God is doing with us, not the journeys of others. UNTIL FRIDAY: HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Timothy 2:1-2 New King James Version 2 Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! Why do you think God calls His people to pray for everyone? As I stated this morning, I think that God calls His people to pray for everyone, because pure and simple they need it. They need the prayers of righteous Saints so badly right now, it's not funny, and as such, I believe we need to start praying for them. I'd like to share some things God showed me from his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and i pray that what I share with you will light a fire in your heart to come before the Lord in prayer not just for yourself, but for everyone around you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to answer that urgent call for all of us to pray! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it motivates your heart to want to pray for others. Who beyond your own circle can you pray for? Maybe you know somebody that's not in your normal circle so to speak that needs prayer, and this is your opportunity to be a witness for Christ in praying for that person. Maybe God is burdening you to pray for some situation that's going on in your town, county, or state that affects not just you as a Christian but affects everyone. Don't be afraid to go before the Lord in prayer and seek His face on this issue. Pray diligently and fervently for your leaders, and for everyone around you, because bottom line they really do need it. Remember my friends, that no matter what type of prayer it is, God will hear it and answer, because He hears all of our prayers! UNTIL THURSDAY: HAVE A BLESSED, PEACEFUL, AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Romans 8:38-39 New King James Version 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. THAT NO ONE CAN SEPARATE US FROM!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! There's something about this passage out of Jeremiah that always encourages my heart, because there are times, I need to be reminded that God loves me unconditionally. That when I feel worthless for some stupid reason, feel like I've let God down (I'm talking having sinned and confessed it), and the devil is whispering in my ear that God no longer loves me, I’m reminded of this passage, and the many other verses that talks about God's love for me, and I can tell Satan to go take a hike. Something in what James Banks, this morning's devotional writer stated when it comes to God’s powerful and unconditional love, really got me as well, and that was the following: “Sometimes we can feel awkward when we openly express affection for others. But the Bible, by contrast, doesn't hold back on its presentation of God's love.” I guess that's why the questions from this morning's devotional are so encouraging to me, in particular this first one, and I’d like to share it with you tonight. Please read this question very carefully, and I pray that God will encourage your heart through it too. What are some of the ways God has loved you? Interesting question, isn't it? I thought about that question today as well as so many things out of God's Word in regard to this, and I'd like to share what God showed me through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to see how fully and personally Jesus loves you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about this precious, uncountable, unconditional, full, and reckless love! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will motivate and encourage you to want to return that love to others. How can you return His love today? I pray Tonight, that you will not be afraid to fully express God's love for others to them. That you will want to love God with your life and everything, by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. Share with them how God loves them unconditionally, and that love never runs out! After all, He showed us the ultimate expression of God's restorative love, by being willing to die on the cross for us, and as James banks states so well, “He’s the personification of God's desire to call a wayward world to himself.” Let's not be afraid to share that love today! UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A SAFE, RESTFUL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

John 3:16 New King James Version 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! While reading this morning's passage of scripture, two very beautiful songs came to my mind. One is called “Hallelujah what a savior”, and another one it's a very beautiful song entitled, “Love Was When” songs especially in reading this passage of scripture, because what God did for us was an ultimate act of love, and I can't help but thank Him for it. Every day that I live as a redeemed child of God, I can't help but be overwhelmed, full of joy and gratitude for what Christ did for me, and I want to show that love that I have for God to others. I want them to know the good news of Jesus Christ, and how they can be set free from their sin, and I pray that that's something you as a redeemed child of God want too. Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me throughout the years in regard to Romans 5:6-8, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you shows you just what it means to be empowered in Christ to love others, the same way He loves us. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn just how much God was willing to save you through the willing savior of Jesus Christ! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they get you to not only think about just what Jesus did for you, but I pray that you'll learn to appreciate it, that you will choose to be empowered through Christ Jesus to love other sacrificially through your actions as well as your words. That bottom line, you will strive to be the hands and feet of Christ Jesus to this lost and dying world. How do you feel when you consider the price Jesus willingly paid because He loves you? How can you put the needs of others before yourself this week? I pray that you will ask God every day, to show you how you can put the needs of others before yourself, while maintaining healthy boundaries and not being taken advantage of. I pray that you will be inspired to show sacrificial love, and be empowered to show love to others through your actions as well as your words every day. Most of all, I pray that if there's anyone out there, that does not know Christ as savior, that you will come to know Him, and the powerful, never-ending love that He is willing to offer you today. All you need to do, is admit that you're a Sinner, that you need a savior, and let Him in your heart today. Check out this link below, that will explain this further, and I pray that you will allow God to show you that deep, powerful love, by making Him your savior today! https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-... UNTIL TUESDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A MAJESTICALLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 80:19 New King James Version 19 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! THE QUESTION IS WHAT’S KEEPING US FROM ASKING??? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! I thought deeply about the questions in this morning's devotional, but in particular I thought about the questions Arthur was asking, and I had to share them with you tonight. I ask that you please read these questions very carefully and ask God to Not only speak to you through them, but to show you where you need His restoration. When have you experienced the restorative, reviving work of God? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from this passage of scripture but from other passages from His Word, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will stir your heart to want to seek God's restoration in your life, for whatever area you may need it in, and that you will do so today. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to receive that restoration! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that it will challenging to examine your heart, so that you will see your need for restoration and whatever area of your life you need it for and receive it. What areas of your life need restoration now? I pray that if you're feeling dull, distant, or disconnected from God, that if your joy and satisfaction and not just life but in Christ is missing, that you seek God for His healing in this area. Is your alignment with Jesus and His purposes for your life missing? If so, come before the Lord, and ask for His restoration. Lastly, I want to leave you with this simple prayer, and I pray that you will allow God to speak to you through it. That you will pray this prayer yourself and make it your focus not just today but every day. “Heavenly Father, I'm humbly asking, that You please bring a true, genuine, renewal, restoration, and revival to our land today, and let it begin with me.” UNTIL MONDAY: HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 45:8 New King James Version 8 All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! Of all the ironies, as we see in this passage of scripture, each of these gifts had a significant meaning and value and I believe God wanted us to know that. Gold in particular represents royalty. It was acknowledging Jesus’ as the king of kings. Frankincense represented divinity. It purposely highlighted Jesus’ divine nature and His role as our high priest. So now we come to the last gift, which is myrrh. Do you know what the significance is of that particular perfume? Well, in case you didn't know, myrrh had a very important purpose back in biblical times, because it was a type of embalming fluid/ointment that was used to prepare dead bodies with. I pondered the meaning behind these gifts, especially the gift of murder, but also some of the things that I was reading in this morning's scripture, and to say I was blown away by what God showed me, would be an understatement. I was especially in deep flood the questions from this morning’s devotional, I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them as well. How do you feel when you ponder the truth that Jesus was born to die for you? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this passage of scripture, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you causes you to think about the significance not just behind these gifts, but what it means for Jesus to have given his life for you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn the true purpose and meaning of myrrh! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it gets you to deeply thinking about what Jesus did for you, and that you'll want to live your life in gratitude over it. How does His resurrection inspire you? I pray tonight my friends, that as you think about this day of Epiphany, as you think about these wise men, and the joy that they had in finding the true king of kings, and Lord of Lords, the resurrected savior, and that you take that joy and boldly live it out, not just today but every day. Live out the last words of the song, “We Three Kings of Orient Are”, when you say “Alleluia, Alleluia,/sounds through the earth and skies.” Most of all, I pray that you are not afraid to let the Holy Spirit help you live your life in gratitude every day, for Jesus giving his life for you, and that you share that good news with others. UNTIL SUNDAY: HAVE A RESTFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Joshua 24:15 New King James Version 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of [a]the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! I have to say guys, that this passenger scripture from this morning really not only challenged me, but it stirred something in my heart concerning the issue of how we are at a crossroads. We as individuals, as well as a nation are at a crossroads. It's a crossroads in which there are so many paths, so many places to go, that it's all confusing. We want to choose God's path for us, but how do we do it? I think of the fact that as a nation right now we're headed down the path of destruction. What I mean is that there are people who have chosen to follow self over God, and the results of what I see from it so far, are not good. I think that's why I'm very incredibly burdened to share what God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to look to God for all of your decision making. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about this important truth for yourself! 😊 So, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will challenge you to choose God's path over your own. Where do you need direction today? How might God be revealing Himself to you? I pray tonight, that if you are at a crossroads in a particular area of your life, if you are facing a situation in which you don't know what choice to make, I urge you to seek the Lord and His wisdom for whatever it may be. I pray that you will seek God's wisdom, guidance, and direction for whatever decision/choice you are making, and that if someone, even someone that claims to be speaking for God, is trying to pressure, seduce, or intimidate you into doing otherwise, that you ask God for the courage to stand up against them. Stand strong in your faith and convictions, even if it costs you everything, but make sure that the choice you make is a wise one.

1 Timothy 2:1-3 New King James Version 2 Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! I thought about resources of scripture very carefully, as well as the questions from this morning's devotional, and I’d like to ask these questions from this morning's devotional of all of you tonight. I pray that these questions really get you to thinking about what it means to be a quiet and faithful follower of Jesus Christ, and that you're not afraid to live it out. How should your faith affect the way you work? In what ways is being a faithful worker a powerful testimony? I know they're very interesting questions guys, and you probably wonder to yourself what it means to live a quiet faithful life. You wonder just what does it mean to live a life in which you are showing Christ Jesus to others, but without making a spectacle of yourself? That's what we're gonna talk about in this vlog tonight my friends, and I pray that what I share with you will help you see just how important it is, how awesome it is to live a life of quiet faithfulness for Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to live a quiet, faithful, consistent, honorable, and full of integrity life for Christ Jesus to this lost and dying world! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think about what it means to be a quiet faithful worker for the Lord, and not for anything or anyone else. I challenge you to serve the Lord with all your heart, soul, might, and strength, whether you are mopping floors, flipping burgers, working in a convenience store, being a housekeeper, or even a CEO. If you are physically able to work, then do so! Don't be dependent on other people if you can physically work, but when you do work, do it as unto the Lord. Do what Colossians 4 states in doing your job as unto the Lord, and not to men. Be quiet and faithful in the work that you do, so that others will see Christ Jesus in you. UNTIL FRIDAY GANG: HAVE A VERY RESTFUL AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 33:18 New King James Version 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! This is coming straight from my heart guys, and I don't want to say anything to right here, but I really needed what I read from God's word this morning. I needed these precious promises, these reminders of God's power, sovereignty, love, and the hope that I have in Him, because Ricky and I have been going through an awful lot. Last year, I was in the hospital, where had to have emergency surgery for an umbilical hernia that produced a small bowel obstruction, and we're dealing with the repercussions of it. I see the way the world is right now, and how vile, hate filled, and despicable people are, and I sometimes want to give up hope. But then I need to be reminded through God's word, of the true hope I have in Christ Jesus, and how to look to the vertical and not the horizontal in life. Is it any wonder why these questions from this morning's devotional are really touching my heart today! What I'd like to do guys, is share these questions from this morning’s devotional, because I think they're important and showing how vital it is to not only have hope in God, but to share it with others. To see God in the midst of nature and everything that He is created, knowing that He spoke it and it came into existence. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that you'll see this truth for yourself. How has God used nature to affirm your hope in Him? I'd like to share some things that God showed me out of His Word with all of you tonight, through this vlog I'd like to share with you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you not only gives you hope in God, but that you'll want to share that hope and Christ with others. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how you can be part of God's care team as his hope spotter! 😊 So, everyone, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it motivates you to be God's hope spotter. How can you serve as part of His care team? My prayer for you with this final question, is that you ask God for ways in which you can serve Him as part of His care team, so that you can be used of God to bring hope to others. Please don't let what you see in this world today, or the behaviors of others around you, cause you distress, despair, or make you wanna give up, because you think you can't make a difference. Ask God to show you where you could be part of His care team, so that you can bring the hope that God truly offers to everyone around you. Be God's hope spotter! UNTIL THURSDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A HOPE-FILLED AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Ecclesiastes 1:9 New King James Version 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!! “Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the days Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers Blossoming even as we gaze.” These are the words to a very beautiful, but also poignant song in the musical, Fiddler On The Roof, that God brought to my mind as I was reading this morning's passage of scripture. It may sound weird guys, but in this song, Tevia and Goldie, are reminiscing about things they see in their life, in particular how they are witnessing their children growing up. They sing this in the moment that their oldest is going to get married, and it sticks in my mind big time right now. It's a reminder to me of what Solomon was saying in this morning scripture, on how the sun rises, the sun sets, but also how in the midst of all of the cycle of life, how there's nothing new under the sun, and God's not surprised by what goes on. Tonight, my friends, I wanna go about this evening post a little different, and share some things with you that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you open your eyes to see that apart from God, life is truly meaningless and empty, and that He is the only real true source of fulfillment and satisfaction. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this precious truth for yourself! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will challenge you to seek God first, and to make Him your first priority. What occupies your time and what meaning does it hold? How might you change your priorities to follow Jesus? I've said this before and I'm gonna continue to say it again, the only true source of joy, satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness, is found in Jesus Christ! That when we live this life apart from God, we are adrift in an endless, never satisfied sea, that produces nothing but heartache and pain. It's only when we submit ourselves to the Lord, when we place our faith and trust in Christ Jesus to save us, and follow Him, that we find what we are really longing for. My prayer for all of you, is that you choose to seek Jesus for all of your longings, Make Him your first priority, and if you don't know Christ, I invite you to accept Him as your savior today, and watch how He will fulfill every longing, need, want, and more so in your heart. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-...

2 Corinthians 5:17 New King James Version 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. I HAVE A BRAND-NEW IDENTITY IN CHRIST!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! I really love how Paul states that when we come to know Christ as savior, we are made new creations in Him, and that the old things in our lives, the attitudes, the things that we used to do, pass away so to speak and we no longer want to do them. I especially love the fact that because I know Christ is my savior, I'm God's redeemed child, and they can never be plucked out of his hand. That a new reality exists for me, where I'm not the same anymore, but I am a new creation in Christ Jesus, with a brand-new identity in Him. It's why I'm so encouraged, as well as motivated by God through these questions from this morning's devotional and I'd like to share them with you today. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge and motivate you through them too. What does it mean to you that a new beginning is possible with God? Tonight, everyone, I'd like to share some thoughts God gave me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you lets you know about that new identity that you have in Christ, the new identity and purpose that God is giving you, so that you will want to share the good news of Jesus with others. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how you can share with others about the brand-new identity that you have in Christ, and how you're not the same anymore! 😊 So, my dear friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this last question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will motivate you to want to live as the redeemed child of God that you are. How can you live as His “new creation”? I pray every day for myself and for all of you, that as we begin this new year, we have a strong desire, motivation, and more so to point others to Christ Jesus, so that they can become new creations in Christ too. I also want to encourage those who don't know Christ as savior to know that your sins can be forgiven and forgotten under the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and that He can and will make you a new creation in Him! Here's a link to know more about this wonderful life you can have in Christ Jesus, and I pray that you will take advantage of that today. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-...

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!Well, we’re closing out 2023, and starting on 2024, and I can't help but really be especially grateful for everything that God has been doing not just in our lives, but in my families as well. That despite all the nerve-wracking things that have taken place with my family this year, my Heavenly Father, has never stopped being there for my mom and my family, and that's something I'm very grateful for. I am especially full of gratitude for how God has been there for Ricky and I this year, not just with the identity theft that happened, but for how God really came through for me when I was in the hospital and had to have that emergency surgery. These are things that I am very grateful for, and I pray that you have things to be grateful for from 2023 as well. There's something about this morning's passage of scripture, that really got me to thinking about how I want others to see me. How I want to be known as first and foremost a follower of Christ. I want to be known as someone who truly followed the Lord with all her heart, and that I lived out the faith I say I had. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional were especially challenging to me, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge you through these questions too. For what Christ like attributes would you like to be known? Tonight, my friends, I’d like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to want Christ to work His perfect will and way in you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how God can and WILL work in you what's pleasing to Him! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with this last question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to never be afraid to live out the faith that you say you have. How can you encourage others to seek God's righteousness? I encourage you to start living out the faith that you say you have, allow God to actively grow the fruit of righteousness in your hearts, because it will take a lifetime for all of it to fully come to fruition. Yes, we're gonna stumble and fall in this journey, but when we choose to look forward and not backwards, keeping our eyes set on God, we will be established and strengthened in Him, and we will be in that wonderful city that is to come, where God's righteousness will reign. UNTIL MONDAY, OR NEXT YEAR, GANG: HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
