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

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

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

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

Don't Miss Out
Oh, my goodness, we were created for adventure, we were created to be adventurous people. God, the One Who created all of this, all of us, is miraculously adventurous. Each day as the sun goes down, you should recall all the God Adventure you stepped into and see with heavenly hindsight the incredible way in which God’s endgame purposefully played out for that day. At the dawn of every new day this year, connect to God Heart To Heart and begin anticipating with joy what He will do in your today, your tomorrow, and your forever. The Great God Adventure you have ahead of you is more than you could ever imagine or hope for. It is so very cool, such an amazing privilege to belong to God, believe me, no doubt about it, there is never a boring day as He is all in with us and is fully invested in bringing about good for us and glory for His Kingdom. Of course, the way God goes about things, may cause us to scratch our head in unbelief, we may not be able to wrap our finite minds around the plans of an Infinite God, as what we “see” is definitely not what we planned on seeing in our life story. Yet, He is so famous for taking things that seem so very messy and so very out of our control, and making them into a miraculous masterpiece moments that leaves us with our mouth’s hanging open in Awe of Him. I love that about Him. The God Adventure, when you are in a personal relationship with God is so great. So, if you feel challenged today to keep up with what God is doing, if things seem like or look like He is not working at all, don’t let the deceiver keep you bound up in fear of the unknown… step out of your comfort zone and have a Great God Adventure today. It doesn’t matter what challenges you will face today, the God purpose in play in each challenge is greater than the challenge itself and it will play out into a Great God Adventure. So don’t opt out if things don’t look exactly like you planned them, stay in, stay on mission with God, don’t miss out on the greatest God Adventure ever, because you are focused on your worldly viewpoint or because you were enticed by the enemy to attend a pity-pouting party with the enemy of your soul. Step out in faith and enjoy the God Adventure today… don’t miss out!! Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/amazing-awe-god/ https://rumble.com/vbnbel-step-out-go-grow.html

It's Christmas
The Christmas story is wonderful, miraculously merrily so! Jesus came to us. There is just no getting over that truth! God sending His Only Son to us is such a HUGE gesture of love. I don’t know about you, but it has been a tough year for so many people, yet God is still with us, still for us and still working in the unseen for our good. We can trust God, He is faithful to deliver us as He has shown by Jesus ushering in the greatest transformation ever known to mankind, death to life. Christmas is STILL a day for JOY! Jesus came here and Miraculously Merrily So, He STILL holds all the power and authority at His beckoning command! Jesus STILL reigns and things are STILL not as they seem, as GOD STILL does not do things in ways we can wrap our minds around. JOY still brings soul strength while we deal with what looks like impossibility, yet STILL all things are possible with God, nothing is irreversible! It is STILL the Truth that Jesus came here to deliver us and is STILL our Deliverer. Peace BE STILL God’s got us! Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/v20y1kw-i-believe.html

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unpredictable Times
Isn’t this a word we all have to deal with in times such as these. Unpredictable. Things happening in ways we did not expect. The weather report says sunny and you get up and it is raining, this is unpredictable. Weather is always like that and climate is like that, always changing, never staying the same. Unpredictable. God is predictable and for that we say a huge PRAISE and are thankful for this characteristic of His. He is always good; He is always working for what is best for us and for the glory of His Kingdom. This is predictable. What is unpredictable is how He does things. He does not do things in ways we may be comfortable with, in fact sometimes His way to predictable is very unpredictable, not able to be understood. God is in control of our future, He is the solution, the One Who knows what we should do next. We are never in a situation that we can’t be navigated by God’s Holy Spirit. When things suddenly come up in our life path, we don’t like it so much when it takes us out of comfort zone. We are never alone, so don’t fret about those suddenly situations, God is with us, God is for us.
When negative change rolls in, we always want to blame God or blame others. This is short for Be Lame. The situation with our climate, our world is always changing, our climate has never stayed the same, it is in constant flux, that doesn’t mean we are all going to die in 12 years and we need a green new deal that will do nothing to help us, that has hurt us more than helped us. Climate change is more of a Be Lame thing, where politically people are looking to push their agenda, and nothing about it is truth or science, just fear mongering nonsense. They have these doom and gloom forecasts that we hear every few years and we are still here! Be Lame! Climate is unpredictable, and so is the Creator and sustainer of our climate, as He uses weather for His various purposes. So many people arrogantly think they know what they don’t know, but God knows.
The best thing we can do in times such as these, where the “Be Lame” game is played so often, is cling to God, dig your life roots in Him, He is predictable, He is constantly and forever working for what is best for us. He is always with us, and His temperament is not adjusted by the political culture of the day. God loves us. Period. God is for us. Period. God maintains what He created. Period. No conditions needed to be met, to experience the continuing care of God. He has freely given us His Awe God wisdom, love, provision, promise and truth. So, the best way to live predictable in an unpredictable season of life, is to hold on to the Rock of our Salvation, and walk in the truth of Jesus, the ONE Whose future is predictable and so is ours in Him. God bless ya. Feeling Hopeless? Listen Up: https://rumble.com/vda0pj-feeling-hopelessness.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/bloom-in-joy/

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

Present Now
How blessed are we? Incredibly Blessed! God made a commitment to us to be “Present” in our lives. Our Omnipresence God has kept His commitment, being with us as a steady sureness, and peace like no other. Our world is so chaotic right now, our culture is corrupting more and more each day. Peace is hard to find. Do you feel overwhelmed by the things happening in this world? I do. BUT, I know we have God in our lives, He is faithful to be Present in the all of our everything. What are the things we can be happy about right now? What are the things we can be grateful for right now? Blessings of God, they are there, and they are many, but sometimes our own discontentment hides them from being revealed to our soul and keeps us from recognizing God is right here, right now, with us and for us! God is unshakable peace, a rock, a fortress that is always open to us, a place of safety for us. God is our Advocate in our lives, the best of truth, wisdom, favor, goodness, and peace. If you don’t have courage during these difficult days, then ask God for it. God will give you a strength and a peace like no other. There is none like our God, Present With Us. Trust Jesus with your life, stand on the side of His truth and stay in followship of His Holy Spirit. How blessed are we? We can’t even measure! God bless you and yours as you cling to Him, dig your life roots deeply in His Kingdom. Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/vfjj0t-we-are-loved-well.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/contentment-tested/

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

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

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

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

Divine Appointments
Life is full of opportunities. Some opportunities matter in that temporary kind of way and some truly matter in that forever kind of way. God sets us up with divine appointments with people who need encouragement and care. Jesus ministered to the masses a lot, but He also cared for “the one” and did it in such an excellent way. Compassion was constantly flowing from Jesus. In your day today, God will set you up with “the one” that one person that He wants to encourage with truth and love. Be aware how God is moving all around you, be aware of His Presence and His desire to encourage people.
God has something for us to do every single day, even if it is a kind smile to a stranger, who probably needed just that. Be aware of the people around you, don’t be so busy that you don’t even notice people at all. One person, one person put in your life path on this day, a set-up of a “Divine Appointment” by God. God knows the needs of everyone, He knows the people He has equipped for the specific person that needs a blessing of kindness, compassion, truth or caring? Be the one for the one that God sets you up with today. God is so good at setting up relationships, bringing friendship into your life, He is also good at making a Divine Appointment, connecting a person with a need with a person He has equipped to meet that need.
Be the one today for the one! We offer nothing less than all to Jesus, we give Him total access to our life, so we can be the one who meets all the Divine Appointments He has for us on this day. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/v12mcq4-my-one.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/what-can-i-do/
So brothers, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him. This is the spiritual way for you to worship. Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect. Romans 12:1-2

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

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

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