JUST FOCUS ON AND FOLLOW ME!!!
Hebrews 12:2 New King James Version
2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY GOOD FRIENDS!!!
Something about this particular question from this morning's devotional really challenged my heart, and I had to share it with you tonight. I invite you to read this question very carefully, and I pray that you'll not only read it carefully but ask God to speak to you through it.
When have you compared your situation with that of others?
Another interesting way to ask this is, “How are you tempted to compare your faith walk with others?” This is an area I believe we all struggle with, because we have this wonderful tendency to compare our path, our walk with the Lord, with that of others, when we're just simply supposed to follow Him.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God helped me learn 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 help you to see how important it is to focus your work, your relationship, your entire everything on God, and not be comparing yourself to others in your walk with Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to just focus on and follow God only! 😊
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 be a motivation, to help you to simply follow God, and trust in His love and direction for your life.
In what practical ways can you follow God?
I'm going to state something I said before, because I believe it applies to even now, and that is this. I believe it starts with our choosing to focus on God, and His plan, will, and way for us. That we are not to compare our path with that of others, but to simply follow Him. 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, we need to be steadfast and unquestioning and following God, trust in His love and direction for our lives, but most of all, focus on our faith journey with God, and what God is doing with us, not the journeys of others.

HAVE A SUBLIME, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

TIME WARP WIFE STUDY OF JACOB: CHAPTER 4- BETHEL'S DREAM
GENESIS 28
Darlene states, “Have you ever experienced a moment when you felt God’s presence so profoundly that it changed your life forever? These are the Bethel moments in our lives—those unexpected, transformative encounters with God that can happen anywhere at any time”
I believe we all have our “Bethel moments”, and I believe these are moments that God uses in our lives, to bring us to a moment where we can decide whether or not we want God to work His will and way in us. I wanna ask you guys about your Bethel moment. I wanna know if you have ever had a moment of realization that drove you to change. I'd like to know what prompted it, and what changes you made.
I'd like to share some things about some Bethel moments that I've had in my life with all of you tonight, and I pray that they not only bless, but encourage, motivate, and challenge you to listen to God in those Bethel moments, and be willing to make whatever changes He is directing you to. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and see just what I mean! 😊

I AM GOD’S ACCEPTED AND BELOVED!!!
Ephesians 1:5-6 New King James Version
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He [a]made us accepted in the Beloved.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
Tell me something my friends.
How are you learning to rest securely in God’s love?
Most of all, do you know what it means to be able to rest securely in God's love? 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 not only challenge, but encourage you to see that you can be confident in God's love for you, because you are truly His beloved. 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 this final question from this morning's devotional comment and I pray that you will not be afraid to spread the love of God, the love of Jesus Christ with everyone around you.
How will you share that love with others?
I want to challenge you tonight, my friends, to think of ways in which you can share unconditional comment never ending, everlasting love of God with others, and don't be afraid to share it. Ask God to help you first and foremost rest securely in the love that He has for you, so that way you can share that love with others. Maybe you can reach out to a neighbor who's all alone, and has nobody there to help them, through maybe doing yard work, or just going over there for a cup of coffee. Maybe you could send somebody an encouraging text, message, on social media, or phone call! We can be used of God to reach out to love others, but we need to be willing to do so, and I pray that you'll be willing and obedient to show God's love to others. Don't be afraid to ask God to help you spread his love to those around you, so that they know that they are accepted in the beloved by Him!

A FUTURE WHERE REAL HOPE IS POSSIBLE
Jeremiah 29:11 New King James Version
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
Allow me to ask this question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that God will speak to your heart and encourage you through it.
When have you witnessed renewal after devastation?
The first thing that came to my mind guys, was what happened to Ricky and I, as well as the people of my community here in Bensalem, after the flood, and the tornado that hit us in July of 2021. It was a very scary moment, and lots of property and homes were damaged, and many were unlivable. However, the one thing I praise God for in all of it was that there was not one life lost.
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 see that God can bring restoration and hope, as well as a true and wonderful future to your life if you will only let Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about a future where real hope and restoration is possible! 😊
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 claim, cling to, and live out the precious truth that in Christ Jesus, real hope, restoration, and a bright future is possible.
How can you be a part of God’s restoring work?
I know this is an interesting question guys, and it's something that I'm thinking about, but I think the best way that we can be part of God's restoring work, is through prayer. We need to seek God every day and ask Him to show us where we can be used of Him to bring about the restoring work, the hope and healing that is needed in the lives of so many wounded souls out there today. I also want to reach out to the person who thinks that they're all alone in this journey of life, and let them know that God walks beside them. That all they have to do is cry out to God, ask for His help, and God will not only listen but He will respond, and bring you the help you need. Remember my friends that God is truly the author of restoration, and that in Him we will see and experience a future where hope is reality.

THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME: THE PILGRIM JOURNEY
Hebrews 11:13-14 New King James Version
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off [a]were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Tell me something my friends. Are you enjoying your journey? Are you choosing to trust God, stay close to Him, and enjoy the journey that God is giving you right now? This is something that we as believers in Christ I firmly believe struggle with, and we need to be reminded of. That the things that we go through in this world right now, are only temporary, but we have a permanent, beautiful, wonderful, and joyous heavenly home that awaits us.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me 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 encourages you to remember that this world is not your home, but while you're journeying through this physical world, to trust God while your journeying, and learn to enjoy the trip. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself that we are pilgrims in this world, that this world is not our home, and how to look forward to our heavenly home! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray they will help you see that this world is not your home, but most of all how to trust God in the journey.
How can you be open today to receiving God’s gifts along life’s path?
How can you remind yourself that this world, as it is now, isn’t your real home?
Finally, tonight, my friends, I want to encourage all my brothers and sisters in Christ with this precious hope and pray that you will never stop cling to it. This world is not your home. We are only here, temporarily, passing through as pilgrims, and a journey of life, that as believers in Christ, leads to heaven. So as such, I encourage you to stay grounded in God's word, seeking godly friends and counsel, and a good church to stay grounded in, and to seek God first in everything that you say and do. During this journey, allow God to mold you and shape you during the trials. To allow him to guide you through those dead ends, dark forests, and scary moments in life, trusting that he is there for you. But most of all guys, don't be afraid to enjoy the journey, and allow God to grow a deeper faith within you as you walk this journey.

WE CAN LEARN ALOT FROM EACH OTHER
Proverbs 31:26 New King James Version
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
NO MATTER OUR AGE!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Tell me something my friends.
What have you learned from someone younger?
I know. Interesting question. But think about it. What is it that maybe you've learned from somebody younger recently? Could it be maybe how to work your cell phone or your computer? Maybe, your young child, grandson, nephew, niece, etc., helped you avoid being scammed. There's a lot of that taking place, and it's good to have a caring, loving person to help us out with things that we don't know in that area.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I learned from this morning scripture, as well as some other interesting passages including this one above, Through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, on how wisdom doesn't necessarily need to be associated with age, and how no matter how old we are, we could always learn wonderful and awesome things from each other. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, 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 final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will challenge you to seek godly wisdom, even if it's from an unlikely person or source.
How might you reach out to someone of another generation today?
I pray that you guys see how much wisdom that people have to offer regardless of their age, and that you take it. That you soak in the wisdom not only of the older generation, because they definitely have a lot to offer, but also for those who are younger, to take time to hear the unique wisdom that the younger generation has as well. After all, as Proverbs 17:17 states so very well, “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Let's take Katara Patton's advice, and “Let’s seek to develop loving and loyal intergenerational relationships. It will bless us and others and help us learn something we don't know.”

FOR ALL THE PRAYER WARRIORS
1 Thessalonians 1:2 New King James Version
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
WE SAY THANK YOU, LORD FOR THEM ALL!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Something about this morning's scripture really got me to thinking about the hour of prayer, but especially the ministry of it. I was thinking especially of so many prayer warriors that I know of, that they don't attempt to get any attention for themselves, but they're out there on their knees every day praying for us, and I for one am very grateful for that. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional not only got me to thinking about these individuals, but also how I can be a prayer warrior in my own way. As such I'd like to share these questions with all of you tonight, and I pray that they get you to thinking about what it means to be a prayer warrior, and how you can love and serve others through this means.
Who do you know who's a gentle prayer warrior?
How does that person reflect Christ's heart?
Tonight, my friends, I wanna share some things God has shown me from His Word on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will both challenge and motivate you to want to love and serve others through prayer. That bottom line you'll want to love and serve others. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how we can love and serve God and others through prayer, and also thank them for their ministry to us in this area! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post all of you tonight, I pray that you show God gratitude for the prayer warriors that are in your life, but also show gratitude to them as well. I especially pray that if God's put it on you to be a prayer warrior, that you take it seriously, but also joyfully, and make the most of every opportunity that you can to pray for others. I pray that you learn to realize, just what a powerful ministry prayer is, and that that you make the most of it every day, because trust me out there, there are people that need our prayers. Just like Jørn, you and I have a powerful ministry through prayer, and we want to make sure that we use it for God. So my prayer for all of us, is that we follow the example of both Jørn and Paul in how we love and serve others today, by taking time to always pray for everyone around us. Let's make sure we thank all the prayer warriors out there, and that we are willing to be prayer warriors ourselves!

NO FEAR IN LOVE
1 John 4:18 New King James Version
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
GOOD EVEING IN YESHUA GANG!!! Then, the heat wave finally broke and I'm really glad. I like warm weather guys, but NOT rotisserie chicken weather if you get my meaning. I'm really praying that nobody suffered heat strokes, or death from this, because it was really bad this week.
Allow me to ask this question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that God not only speaks to you through it but comforts your heart as well.
What in your life are you afraid of?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things from God's Word on this issue, 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, be reminded of the fact that our God is truly an awesome God, who offers His present comfort in the midst of the darkness of any fear that we face. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself that there is truly NO fear or terror in God's love for you! 😊
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 God uses it to help you face whatever fears that Satan has inflicted you with.
How does God's love help you overcome those fears?
I don't know what fears that you are facing guys, but I want you to know you're not facing them alone. I want to start with guys, with what this verse I've posted for this post States and that there is NO Fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. That fear or terror involves torment, and that's the very thing that Satan uses to try to keep us from drawing closer to the Lord. He will use whatever irrational, or very sincere deep-seated fear you have against you to try to keep you from being all that you can be for God. Maybe it's something idiotic like a fear of needles (Yes, I am a big fraidy cat when it comes to them!), or maybe it's the fear that you're going to turn into your abusive parent. The fear that you're going to screw up the way your parents did in some way, and God's going to hate you for it. I want you to know that that's a straight lie from Satan, and I pray that you get help for those wounds. But most of all I really pray that when you find yourself surrounded by these fears, ask God to comfort your heart, and help you to rest in His love.

WHAT MAKES A PERSON REALLY RICH
Matthew 6:20-21 New King James Version
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!!
I have to say guys that I really loved the story that Karen Pimpo, this morning's devotional writer shared of the very thrifty, hardworking, and scrupulous woman named Osceola. Osceola was a woman who worked up until the age of 86, had saved up quite a bit of money, and to the surprise of her community decided to donate $150,000 dollars to a nearby university to make sure that needy students could get an education. The chain reaction of that was that others donated to that endowment and it tripled in its size. It got me to thinking about whether or not we understand the true value of wealth. That it's not for us to hoard, or use for our own selfish gain, but to bless others.
I think that's why this morning's devotions, this passage of scripture, challenged me so much, and I'd like to share what God has put on my heart on the matter, through this blog share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it helps inspire you, as well as motivate you want to make sure that you're laying up your treasure in heaven, and not here on earth where it's gonna disappear. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn what makes a person truly rich! 😊
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 and motivate you to want to lay up your treasure in heaven, by willingly giving to others so that you are a blessing to them.
What opportunity do you have to be generous today?
How can sharing what you have lead to greater contentment?
I challenge you to think about the opportunities that you have, the opportunities that God has put before you to show your generosity to others and do it. Don't withhold and not be generous, because it does truly lead to emptiness. Ask God to help us surrender the resources, gifts, and talents that He's given us to Him, so that we can be a blessing to others. Make sure that we are laying up our treasure in heaven, where it lasts for eternity, because otherwise it's only gonna lead to emptiness down here. Let's strive to be rich in good deeds today and every day as God leads us.

TRUE WORSHIP
John 4:24 New King James Version
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
As I was reading this morning scripture, and reading this morning's devotional, I got to thinking about what Winston Churchill said, and I have to agree. That the way we shape our buildings somehow or another shapes us. So I'm wondering, especially when it comes to the places that we worship, our houses of worship, how are they shaping you and I? I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional are especially challenging to me on this matter, and are really getting me to think about not just how I'm worshipping, but reminding me of Who I worship. Which is why I'd like to share these questions with all of you tonight, and I pray that God will speak to you through them as He is speaking to me.
What does your worship teach you about God and His love for you?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from this morning scripture, but from other passages of scripture 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 get you to think about the fact that God cares about our worship, and that god alone is worthy of our worship. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn for yourself what true worship means! 😊
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 pray that it gets you to thinking about not just how you worship, but WHO you worship.
What changes might you want to make?
In other words guys, what changes in your attitude would you want to make in your worship toward God? Maybe you've been brought up with a particular idea of worship, that you're discovering was never biblical to begin with, and you really want to learn what it means to worship God “in spirit and in truth” as John 4:24 states. Maybe you want to know what what Revelation 4:11 means, in that God alone is worthy of all of our worship. I pray that we think about our attitude in our worship, and rethink how and why we are worshipping God. But, most of all, we want to make sure that our focus is on WHO where worshipping. That God is worthy of our best worship!

TIME WARP WIFE BIBLE STUDY OF JACOB-CHAPTER THREE: DECEPTION’S BLESSING
GENESIS 27
Hey gang! I don't know about any of you guys, but I've really been enjoying this study, and this particular chapter really stuck out at me, because we are seeing the climax as I would like to put it of several dysfunctional things here. Things that parents need to be looking out for in their families, said that they're not doing this to their children, and to their marriage. What am I talking about you guys ask? I'm talking about something that should just come out recently known as the golden child syndrome. It's all about how one child in the family is the favorite, and the other is the scapegoat, and trust me when I tell you it's a miserable thing to see. In this case, we have to “golden children”, in Isaac having Esau as his golden child, while Rebekah had Jacob as hers. The moment, we're gonna see the consequences of this favoritism, and it's not gonna be pretty. Come join me in this vlog tonight, and see just what I mean! 😊

HERE I AM, LORD! USE ME!!!
Isaiah 6:8 New King James Version
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
Allow me to ask this question from this morning's devotional my friends, and I pray that it challenges your heart tonight.
Who comes to mind when you think of one who’s been quietly but effectively used by God?
Is it that person who picks up after each and every church service in the sanctuary? Is it the person that maintains the property of the church? Maybe it's just somebody that serves in the background, quietly and happily for the Lord, and they've left an impact on you in some way.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things from God's word on this issue, 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, that you are not “playing,” “ordinary,” or even “less than,” but someone who is loved mightily by God, and that He can use you in whatever capacity HE sees fit. All you need to do is just say God, please use me! Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how you could not only know, but live this truth out 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 challenges you as well as motivates you to see that God can truly use you.
What can you do to help shift your focus from what you have or don’t have to what God can do through you?
As Arthur Jackson, this morning’s devotional writer asks, “Do you see yourself as “plain,” “ordinary,” or even “less than”? Don’t fret. If you have Jesus and are willing to be used by Him, you have enough.” I don't know where you're at in your life right now guys, but I know that God can use you in any way that He sees fit, in anytime that He chooses. As pastor Greg Laurie stated so very well, “Every effort matters. We all have a part to play. Maybe you’re a Kimble, or maybe you’re a Moody. Just don’t allow your life to amount to zero because you did nothing with what God gave you.” I echo Arthur's prayer, and I pray that it will be your motto as well, “God, use me!”

LOOKING AHEAD WITH NEW AND CERTAIN HOPE
Lamentations 3:24 New King James Version
24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!!
Allow me to ask this first question from this morning's devotional tonight, and I pray that God speaks to you through it.
When have you felt unable to see any hope in your situation?
I know I have had moments in my life, where I have felt like the situation was completely hopeless, but I was reminded ultimately, that my true hope is found in God, and when I chose to cling to God, that hopelessness, was turned into hope.
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 tonight, will encourage you to see, just how God's love is something new and certain every day, and that in Christ, you can truly look ahead in hope. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how God is your hope, and how you can look ahead and find that hope in Him! 😊
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 then it will help you see the true, new, certain, and everlasting hope that you have in God.
How does the promise of God's love as “new every morning” give you hope?
My prayer for all of you, especially those going through any trauma, hardship, or tragedy, and feel like you have no hope, that you see that in the midst of your hopelessness, you can have hope and God, because God does not give up on you! That you serve a faithful, dependable God who not only will never let you down, but helps you remember that you're not in this fight alone. That God's mercy and love is truly fresh and new every morning. That His faithfulness is great, and His compassions never fail. Above all, remember, to focus on the Problem Solver and not the problem, choose to hope in God and in God alone, and watch how He will work for you!

CELEBRATING THE SAVIOR WHO OFFERS TRUE FREEDOM
John 8:36 New King James Version
36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, I find the story that Winn Collier this morning's devotional writer shared this morning, rather interesting, because these are individuals that didn't realize they were free, let alone let the war was over, but we're still going about their lives, as people still enslaved. It reminded me of the Japanese soldiers, who were out in the middle of some jungle, are discovered by people, who tell them that World War II was over, but it's too shocking for them to believe. It's a living example of people who don't realize that something is over like a war, and that they are free to go home, but their minds are too In shock to believe it.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things God showed me out of this morning's passage of scripture, as well as other things I've learned from God's word on what it means to truly be free, 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 that the freedom God offers, is true and real. 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 with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will Encourage you to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering from injustice and oppression, but most of all, to help you see that God is the one that offers true and real freedom.
How have you seen God work to help the oppressed?
How does He invite you to participate in His work?
I pray tonight that as we conclude not just this day, but as we celebrate and reflect on what is known as Juneteenth, that we keep ourselves attuned to how we can be God's representatives to bring true and lasting freedom to all who are bound by sin. I especially pray that as we celebrate this day, that we don't try to race bait, show hatred for hatred, or try to spread lies to gain sympathy for a cause that's already been achieved. Most of all, I pray that we as followers of Jesus, set godly examples to this lost world in showing them the one who can truly set them free from sin, by taking a stand against real injustice and oppression.

THE BEST FRIEND WE COULD EVER HAVE
Psalm 146:9 New King James Version
9 The LORD watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He [a]turns upside down.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
You know guys, I am so grateful for the precious truths I get to read from God's word, and today was definitely a day I needed what was in God's word. I needed a reminder, that I can always count on God, but most of all that when I feel lonely, helpless, friendless, and without hope, that God is there to be my hope, strength, and more so, and i can't help but say thank you Lord for that!
I think that's why I am not only in so agreement with what Enduring Word stated, but also badly needed this precious encouragement when this commentary stated, “God sees those who live without a close family connection and cares to provide them with families. They may be without husband or wife, without father or mother, or without brother or sister nearby; God cares and has family connections among His people for the solitary.”
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share a few things that God showed me from His Word this morning on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share encourages you to see the true best friend the real, dependable, Heavenly Father that you can always count on, and will never, ever let you down. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn more about the best friend that you could ever have! 😊
So, my friends come as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional comment and I pray that they will help you to see this precious truth, and that you will never doubt how much God truly cares for you.
What do you enjoy about friendship with Jesus?
What does He teach you about being a forever friend to others?
My prayer for all of you, is that you see just how real, true, and loyal that Jesus is to you, and know that the love he has for you is unconditional, and will never, ever run out. When you feel like you have no family, and no one cares about you, to know that God truly cares, and if you give your heart to him, he will be the best friend you could ever have!

GIVING GENEROUSLY BECAUSE HE GAVE TO US
2 Corinthians 8:9 New King James Version
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Tell me something my friends.
When has someone helped you when you were in need?
I know I’ve lost count of all the ways that God has used someone to help me when I was in need, and all I can do is just thank God every day for them. God used so many people to supply needs that Ricky and I had, when we were in need the most, and I praise God for them every day.
It's why tonight, I'd like to share some things that that God showed me from His Word on what it means to be generous to others, trusting that God will supply our needs too. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to give generously, because of the One who gave to us So that we could be rich in Him! 😊
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, motivate, and inspire you to want to show generosity to others, trusting that God will supply whatever needs you have.
How will you give to others while trusting God’s provision for you?
I pray tonight my friends, that if you see a need in your neighborhood, town, city, or state, and yes even in this country, that you seek God's face and how you can make a difference in that area. Maybe it's a ministry that helps people in need like a food pantry, visiting the elderly, providing free medical care to those who need it that can't pay for it, or yes, even a pro-life ministry to young women who find themselves pregnant, and need to know what ALL their options truly are. I pray that we do not turn our backs on these people, out of selfishness, apathy, or yes even frustration because we don't know how we can help them, but that we boldly show them the love of Jesus. What can he do for us, you ask? I believe as God leads us, and helps us, we can always be ready to help others. As I've stated before guys, one person can truly make a difference, but we need to be willing to be that one person. Are you?

THE FAITH THAT BRINGS REAL HEALING AND HOPE
2 Corinthians 12:10 New King James Version
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA AND HAPPY FATHER’S DAY AGAIN TO EVERY GENUINELY GODLY FATHER OUT THERE!!!
Something about the questions from this morning's devotional really got me to thinking about the fact that the true source, the only source and hope of healing is none other than Jesus Christ, and I had to share this first question with all of you tonight. Please read this question carefully, and I pray that it will not only challenge your mind, but your heart as well.
Where are you tempted to look for spiritual healing other than in God?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things I learned about this passage of scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will open your eyes to see the true source and hope of healing that you can have in your life. 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 this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it encourages you to know the true hope and healing that you have in Christ Jesus.
How are you encouraged knowing that one day believers in Jesus will experience complete physical healing as well?
My prayer for all of you tonight, is that with whatever physical ailment, emotional issue, despair, trauma, or the pain that you are experiencing right now, I pray that you lay it at the feet of the Great Physician, and allow Him to heal you. Know that sometimes healing doesn't occur right away, but might take a while, and in many cases, that healing won't show itself, until you meet Jesus face to face, but no that beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Christ can bring true healing. It brings hope from despair, grace from bitterness, hatred to love, and a willingness to forgive with any accusation. He's the true source of healing, that we can always depend on, and all we need to do is trust in Him by faith.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED EVNING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

JESUS: THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A SERVANT'S HEART
Philippians 2:5-7 New King James Version
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it [a]robbery to be equal with God, 7 but [b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!!
Tell something my friends.
When has someone sacrificially served you?
Interesting question is it not? I thought about it very much as I was reading this passage of scripture, and was very fascinated by Bill Crowder, this morning's devotional writer sharing his memory of his uncle Emory, and how this man was a servant of God in every sense of the word. I thought about a great many people who have been a living example of true servants of God, but also about individuals who have genuinely sacrificially served me, and the one person that came to my mind the most was my husband, and I'm ever so grateful for him.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word, through this passage I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you'll want to challenge you and encourage you to look to the perfect example of Jesus and the sacrifice he made for you, so that you will want to emulate and have the mind set of Jesus and all that you say and do. Come join me in this blog tonight my friends and learn more of the perfect example of a servant's heart, through Jesus Christ! 😊
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 yield to the Spirit's work in your life, to want to have that servant's heart too.
How can you serve others, perhaps beginning with your own family?
I want to echo something that I said so many years ago, and I pray that you not only read this, but act on it. My prayer for all those reading this, is that you will grow to have that servant’s heart. That you will be WILLING to serve, and not allow selfish ambition, or an ‘exclusive attitude’ when it comes to fellow believers who differ from you, to get in the way of serving the Lord. I pray that you choose to follow the perfect example of Jesus and His sacrifice for you, but most of all through this that you choose to have the mindset of Jesus and all you say and do.

HEARTFELT PRAYERS OF STRONG FAITH
Luke 8:48New King James Version
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [a]be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
EVEN WHEN THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
I know I say this about a lot of passages of scripture guys, but this is another one of my favorites. I said this, because of Jesus compassion for this woman, as well as for this rich young ruler. That in the midst of all the insanity, this brave faith filled woman, comes to Jesus, touches His robe, is immediately healed, and I find that rather special. I think that's why I find this story, this encounter that this woman with an issue of blood has so very special, because again, it shows that Jesus doesn't care about anybody ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or even their lifestyle, but He cares about them.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this passage of scripture, from this story of this embattled woman through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you to night, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to see that God knows each and every painful situation in your life, that hears the heartfelt prayers you offer to Him, and is there for you when things go from bad to worse. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how heartfelt prayers of strong faith can accomplish much! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you to night, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will help you see that in the midst of all of our dilemmas, in the midst of everything that seems to go from bad to worse, that Jesus is always there for you, and that all you have to do is reach out and touch Him.
What current situation compels you to seek Jesus?
What’s your heartfelt prayer today?
I pray for all those who are experiencing painful moments in their life, situations, events, that are beyond their control, to know that you can place them in the control of the one who holds you and I in the palm of His hand and will never let anyone pluck us out from there. To remember That even in the worst of situations, when things seem to go from bad to worse, that God is still in control, that in whenever we are experiencing, God's grace is more than sufficient for us, and that in our weakness god is made strong. Most of all, I pray that we remember this important truth Arthur Jackson, this morning's devotional writer stated so very well, “Life's dilemmas don't discriminate. Write lists of gender or age, racer class, we all face situations that perplex us and send us searching for answers. Rather than allowing challenges to keep us from Jesus, let strive to have them stir us to deeper faith in the one who feels it when we touch him (V.30) And who can make us well."

WATCHING, WAITING, AND EXPECTING JESUS
Luke 12:40 New King James Version
40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA PEOPLE!!! How was your Thursday?
Let me ask you this guys. If you were given notice, whether through e-mail, Facebook, Instagram, X, or any other social media that you might be on, that Jesus was coming back today, what would you do? Would you be nonchalant about it, or would you be living as a Christian should, and obedience to God, with honor and integrity, like you've always been anticipating Him coming back? Cindy Hess Kasper this morning's devotional writer, asked a very important question, when she asked the following: “What difference might it make and our day-to-day priorities, if we did know the moment our savior is coming back to earth? (John 14:1-3).” I don't know about any of you guys, but I think it would make a huge difference! If I knew the precise day, hour, minute, and second that Jesus was coming back, I'd want to make sure I was living a life that honors Him, wouldn't you?
I think that's why these questions from this morning’s devotional, really got me to thinking about that, and what it means to be watching, waiting, and expecting Jesus to come back. I want to share these questions with you tonight, and I pray that these questions will challenge you to be thinking the same thing too.
How are you motivated by Jesus’ imminent return?
What can you expect when He comes again?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word on this very important subject, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, challenges you to want to be living every day with a perspective of eternity, serving God and taking advantage of every opportunity that God gives you to share the good news of Jesus Christ To this lost and dying world. Come join me in this vlog tonight and learn for yourself what it truly means to be watching, waiting, and expecting Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to really think about these questions from this morning's devotional and ask yourself just how motivated you truly are by Jesus' imminent return, and to live every day like He could come then. That we live like EVERY moment, second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year, could be the moment Jesus will come, and make sure that we are living lives of holiness, honor, integrity, and obedience to God in everything that we say and do. Let's ask God to help us patiently wait as we obey him, pursue holiness, honor, and integrity, living every day in expectation of Christ's return.

HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

WONDROUSLY, MARVELOUSLY, CREATED MASTERPIECES OF GOD
Ecclesiastes 11:5 New King James Version
5 As you do not know what is the way of the [a]wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
I really love reading Psalm 139, but in particular, I love these verses that I read out of this morning scripture, because they are a true reminder of the fact, that we are fearfully, wonderfully, marvelously, and lovingly created by God, as His beautiful masterpieces, and nothing or no one could ever change that. I am especially encouraged by this question from this morning's devotional below, and I'd like to share it with you tonight. Please read this question very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge and encourage you through it too.
How does the intricate design of your body lead you to praise God?
Right now, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from not just this morning's passage of scripture, but from other passages of His Word, that beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are God's incredibly complex, marvelously, and wonderfully created masterpiece. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn the truth that you are God's precious masterpiece comet created in His image, and mightily loved!
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 give you cause to praise and thank God for him having made you.
In what creative ways could you thank Him today?
As I close this post tonight, I pray that you will see just how much God has uniquely and marvelously designed you, that God creates beauty, and NEVER makes mistakes. That no matter what anyone says about you, whether it's your physical appearance, intelligence, or anything else about you, know that you are loved mightily, created wondrously, marvelously, and beautifully by almighty God! That God loves, cares for, and wants you to know, that you ARE special to Him, and that Is something that will never, ever change. I pray that you will see just how special you are to God, and how unique you ARE to Him. That you will willingly and obediently accept that God has made you, AS YOU ARE, and allow Him to use you, and show you just how special and unique you are to Him!! I hope and pray you realize that the marvelous and wonderful complexity of you, reflects the power and sovereignty of our great God. Most of all, I pray that you see you are truly loved by an almighty God, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.

THE STORY OF SHEBNA: A CORRUPT, RICH FOOL
Luke 12:20-21 New King James Version
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, I found this morning scripture rather intriguing, but it also got me to thinking of quite a few other passages of scripture in regards to pride, arrogance, and as these verses above state. Those who seek to lay up treasure for themselves in this world, but not toward god. Those who seek to garner all the power, wealth, fame, and attention they can get, but they leave God out. When I was reading this passage of scripture about Shebna this morning, I immediately thought about the rich fool in Luke 12:16-21, and saw how very similar the two were.
I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional, especially this first one, really struck a chord in my heart, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them.
What does your life say about who you're serving?
How do you want to be remembered?
Tonight, my friends, 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 what I share with you will open your eyes to see the importance of making sure that you're realizing that what matters isn't how much you have, or who you know, but WHO you serve. That you are laying up your treasure in heaven, that you are seeking God and not this world. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the story of a foolish, arrogant man, who wanted to have it all, but lost it! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to really think about not just this morning scripture, but also the parable of the rich fool, and ask yourself, “Who is it that I'm serving?” Is it Christ, or the world? I really pray that it's Christ Jesus that you're serving, and that you want to be remembered as someone who truly followed Jesus and everything that you say and do. I pray that you don't miss the point like Shebna did, in that it's not about questions, notoriety, or where you're buried, but as to whether or not you knew Christ. That you live your life focused on the vertical, living with honor and integrity for Christ Jesus, so this lost world out there sees someone who truly loved and served the Lord, and lived with honor and integrity for Him. Don't be a Rich fool like Shebna!

MAKING EVERY MOMENT COUNT FOR JESUS
2 Timothy 4:2 New King James Version
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
I very much agree with what Paul is saying to Timothy in this morning scripture, because I have to say right now guys come up we're living everything that Paul is saying! Right now guys, we are seeing everything that Paul described in II Timothy 3:1-5, and it’s scary! We're living in a moment right now, where the trumpet will sound, and God will call His bride, the church home, and my question to you is, how will God find you? Will you be watching, sober, and ready, will you be asleep at the wheel? I don't know about any of you guys, but I want to be found watching and waiting. I want to be like John Harper was, and make sure I'm making every moment count for my savior, by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone.
This is why the following question from this morning's devotional, so challenged my heart, and I'd like to share it with you tonight. Please read this question very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge, motivate, and urge your heart as well.
How does knowing your days are limited increase your urgency to share the good news of Jesus’ love?
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 motivate, and courage, and give you the push you need to be watching, waiting, ready, and making the most of every moment that God has given you, to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to make every moment you have been given, count for Jesus! 😊
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 be a motivator for you to want to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others.
How will you reach out to others today?
I encourage you tonight, to ask God to show you ways in which you can reach out to others with the good news of Jesus Christ, so that they could know salvation today. I pray that you realize that it doesn't take much, or anything special to do so, just a willing heart. You can use any special gift or talent that God has given you to share the gospel, you could even use your social media pages, just be willing to be used of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ, because our days our truly limited, so we want to make sure that we make every moment count in sharing the gospel.

BEING A WILLING BIG-HEARTED GIVER
Exodus 25:2 New King James Version
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an [a]offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
2 Corinthians 8:12 New King James Version
12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Tell me something my friends.
What motivates you to generously give to others?
How do you strive to meet their true needs?
I thought about these two questions very deeply as I was reading this morning scripture, because what Paul says in this passage of scripture, I think we are not doing. What I mean in this, guys, is that we spend a lot of time telling people that they have to give, what to give, but we're not telling them how to give it. We tell them they have to give their 10%, or whatever your interpretation of 10% is, but we're not telling them what it means to give from the heart. We're not motivating them to truly give to God and that's the biggest sin yet.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me from his word on this issue, through this village I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will be used of God to help you be a truly willing big-hearted giver, that's not coerced or forced into giving. Come join me in this vlog tonight, my friends, and learn how to be a willing big-hearted giver for Christ! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to echo something that I stated a year ago, that I think applies now. I want you to think about how you give, and I pray that it's with an attitude of praise to God and not of begrudging, coercion, or fear. If you're giving on the basis of this, then I think you need to leave your church, and find a church that does not do this. Remember, you don't have to give money to show your love for God. It's not about how much you give, but that you do give. Ask God to show you who you can show His love to today, and show it. Maybe there's somebody out there that's struggling financially, in need of food, a tank of gas or anything at all. Most of all, I challenge you all today and every day to find different ways in which you can give, and if God can use you to show generosity to that person in this specific way, then go for it! God your very best, and do so with a cheerful, grateful, and willing heart.
UNTIL MONDAY EVERYONE:
HAVE A VERY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
