#1MinuteEncouragement Have you ever chosen your feelings over your common sense? Had a flesh-out reaction of emotions that you wish you could take back? There is wisdom in this one-minute encouragement for us to learn how to navigate past the emotional reaction to the right choice response.

We are one human race, created by God and belonging to God. Yet in our human condition, we create silos and we segregate from each other. Have you ever been left out? Looking from the outside of a picked group, wishing you were good enough to be on the inside, good enough to be wanted as part of that group of people? It hurts. This is one of those things that can create hurt that navigates us towards isolation and disunity. Guard your heart with God’s truth. We are one human race, created in the image of God, and uniquely shaped by God, and individually designed, not created to fit in, but to stand out. We are irreplaceable people, purposefully, fearfully and wonderfully shaped by God, so the enemy does not want us unified together, because together with all of our individual and uniqueness we would be so powerful in talent, ability and personal giftedness. God created us as one human race and we need to act like we are one race and embrace the unique giftedness of each other that God has shaped in us. God will make a way for us, a way of unconditional love. If we are left out, because of our distinctive design, not picked, shunned, ignored, rejected by others, outside of a group, looking in, we should not stay there in our hurt. We should turn away and fully face God, forgive those who refuse to accept our uniquely designed personage, and be determined to be better, to be inclusive, to do everything we can do to embrace everyone in the special way God has shaped them, and never leave people feeling shunned and hurt. We are the change we desire. Live, laugh and love like you have never been hurt and love unconditionally, sacrificially like Jesus did. This kind of unconditional love Jesus showed us, and it ends well. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/thebridge/

Merry Christmas from TheBridegroomsCafe.com It has been a great year of hearing from God in our internet cafe. The Bridegroom Jesus and His Bride, The Church have spent a lot of time together being spiritually nourished with some really great posts on every single table in the The Bridegroom’s Cafe. “The truth is,” Jesus said, “Moses didn’t give you the bread of heaven. It’s my Father who offers bread that comes as a dramatic sign from heaven. The bread of God is the One who came out of heaven to give his life to feed the world.” “Then please, sir, give us this bread every day,” they replied. Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry. Believe in me and you will never be thirsty. John 6:32-35 TPT I often tell people that I write for a website called: The Bridegroom’s Café. What is it? This is always their first question? I try to explain it like this: Just think about a Food Café, maybe your favorite place to go to eat dinner. Well, this is a Café that is food for your soul. It is an Internet Café to feed your soul. Why is it called “The Bridegroom’s Café”? The Biblical and Spiritual Symbolism of the church has been that we are “The Bride of Christ”. So, this café is The Bridegroom’ Jesus’ Café.

God called me out to online ministry, not to encourage the masses, but to encourage “The One”. So, it is my hope with the writing that Jesus and I do at The Bridegroom’s Café, to deeply encourage and add value to just one person at a time. Just for “The One”, this is my hope as I post the exhortations of encouragement founded upon God’s Word. The Bridegroom’s Café is a place you come to when you want to feed your soul.

Make sure you subscribe to this incredible God encouragement here: https://rumble.com/c/c-278341 It only takes a minute to be deeply encouraged. I will be adding this new ingredient to many of the meals here in The Bridegroom’s Café for your enjoyment. I have said YES to Jesus. I want to be used by Him and He has equipped this desire with the gift of exhortation, it is a sweet gift of encouragement. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to bless others and point them to Him. Our God spares no blessing for His people, we are abundantly cared for in ways we can’t even begin to hope for or imagine. Jesus feeds our soul, well.

We were created, designed to be free. Freedom was engrained in us by our God deep within our Human DNA. In times such as these, freedom is a fragile thing. We in the United States are so close to losing our freedom. We need be grateful for our freedom of choice, the designing of God, the giving us free will choice. We are free, every people and every nation. Don’t let anyone take away your freedom. Rise up and say NO! In America, freedom is the power of the American Spirit, that no man has been able to hold down. No matter how dark the day is at hand, the American Spirit has risen up and will rise up to win the day. We are free, we are free indeed. Let’s arise and stand together to preserve the heritage of our liberty and justice for all. Freedom Is God Given And Our Inalienable Right, Wherever We Live, Laugh And Love.

The untold sacrifices of our United States Veterans can’t be known in full. A Veteran's sacrifices of, courage, valor, blood, sweat and tears undergird the freedom, liberty and justice for us ALL. We have a common denominator Americans, a place of unity and that is the United States Veteran, who has served us ALL well and preserved our freedom. Americans, we live in the liberty the Veterans and their families paid dearly for to uphold. The ultimate sacrifice has been paid to undergird the strength of our liberty, a debt we American, cannot fully repay. So, Americans, use your freedom with civility, compassion, courage, honor, valor, morality and make your next choice the right choice to undergird the freedom we know, in the unity of honor for those who sacrificed much for it. Americans, use your freedom to live a life of civil honor, just like those who secured our liberty for us. God bless our United States Veterans and their families. Honor Due. Veterans Day 2020.

God is in the battle, we do not fight alone. Are you in a battle? Know that God fights for you, that He has the good plan, that He is the winner. God finishes what He starts, and He finishes well. God Wins. We are not alone, we are not losers, we are actually loved in an incredible way, more than we could ever dream, hope or imagine. Never take for granted that God fights for us. God never abdicates His authority to evil. God’s Sovereignty and authority stands forever. God is not asking us to defend ourselves with our own strength and wisdom, He is fighting for our good in the unseen and has a battle strategy working purposefully for our good and His glory. This is His Providential Care and it has two purposes one being for our good and the other being for His glory. He is currently working these two things out, so they counter balance each other and both come out in the endgame of God’s plan. In the transitional time between our good and His glory things can be a bit rough, but that is why we anchor our soul to Jesus. This anchor will hold through the storms of this life. So, once again I state the truth: God has not abdicated His authority to evil. We are still positioned underneath the rulership of His love, we are not alone in the battle, we are facing today, God is in it. God’s sovereignty and authority is a forever thing, while our battles are temporary. Let it sink into Your Spirit that God is fighting for us, His purposes of good and glory are in play in our life. Are you in a battle? Your Commander In Chief, Jesus, has the good plan and He will have the victory. Abdication of His authority is not in His game plan nor in His character and as we look back in heavenly hindsight, we can see that He is faithful, trustworthy and battle ready to fight for those He loves and win the day. It is a lie from the pit of hell that our God has abdicated His authority over evil. Things may seem to be a mess by what we see in our worldly viewpoint, but, look up, focus on Jesus, because there is a good plan in play and it may seem, feel or look like God has given his authority over to evil, but this is not true in the slightest. God is fighting for us in a way we may not be able to wrap our mind around because He is Infinite and we are finite, because He see’s the whole picture and we only see in part. So when you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart. God will always fight for us. We are positioned underneath the rulership of His love and nothing separates us from Him. God’s authority is never abdicated to evil. God is in control. Trust Him.

Psalm 71:14 https://thebridegroomscafe.com/free-indeed/ Evil will not prevail against Almighty God. God Wins. Period. Our freedom is fragile, because incredibly foolish human beings have underestimated the power of God and they actually, arrogantly think that they can take control of His created people, they foolishly think they can control the population and decrease it, they think they can enslave us all. The can’t. They won’t win. God Wins…. https://rumble.com/vmdaq7-freedom-matters.html We were created by God with natural, inherent, inalienable freedom. Now we all claw and climb to try to ascend to the highest authority over one another and as we do, we step on the head of the freedom we once knew and enjoyed and we damage it. We were not created to handle supremacy and we, serving no power higher than self gain have corrupted supremacy, created an illegitimate authority over one another. Only God can handle Supremacy and for humanity this power grab of God’s authority will not end well. https://rumble.com/vbr79v-freedom-an-inalienable-right.html We were created, designed to be free. Freedom was engrained in us by our God deep within our Human DNA. In times such as these, freedom is a fragile thing. We in the United States are so close to losing our freedom. We need be grateful for our freedom of choice, the designing of God, the giving us free will choice. We are free, every people and every nation. Don’t let anyone take away your freedom.

#1MinuteEncouragement My Yes is on the table with God. Even in the midst of the chaos and unsettled times, the one thing that matters stays the same. We have a future and a hope, it is firm, unchangeable and it is not here. So no matter what happens, we still serve God.

On This Veterans Day I am reminded of a debt I owe for my freedom which I could never repay. The United States Veteran has purchased the rights for us to be a free people. They have paid for our liberty with their sacrifice, blood, bodies and souls. We could never repay them. We honor them, our United States Veterans with all of our heart, with all of our admiration and gratefulness. Veterans Day, a day we are reminded of a fragile freedom and those who paid the ultimate price to uphold it. God bless our United States Veterans and their families. God bless America and forever may our flag fly in freedom. Encourage A Veteran Today – Honor Due!

#1MinuteEncouragement Are you attracted to people that just seem to overflow with love? You see kindness, goodness, selflessness and you experience God’s caring heart through them. This is very attracting. We live in a world just the opposite, we see very little forbearance, patience, kindness, compassion, selflessness, civility and even common sense is a rarity in times such as these. Jesus is what you see in these people that attract you as they live counter culturally with the love of God overflowing out of their lives. When you see an attractive anointing on a person, what you are seeing is the overflow of Jesus’s love and live flowing out of them. If you want to be like them, it is easy, just open our heart wide to God, get in a personal heart to heart relationship with God and He will fill you to overflow, you will have an attracting anointing of God. You will walk in kindness, love, caring, giving, wisdom, compassion, civility, all things God characteristic will be your way. Be so! #DigDeeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/faithful/

A jumbled-up mess of unclear chaos, with a lot of angry, disturbed and unsettled human voices all in a roar. We could call this the twilight zone, but for today, I call it the “grey zone”. Nothing is black or white, it is all grey. A time where right is wrong and wrong is right. We don’t know how to navigate these times. Many of us absolutely know we can’t do this on our own, so we look up, we listen up and we wait for our Way-Maker God to show us how to live and thrive in the grey zone where everything is hard to wrap our minds around and common sense is lifeless. #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/walking-against-the-current/

What A Freaking Jungle Out There! How do we navigate these cra-cra crazy times? Pillars of our leadership are falling everywhere. God is exposing and expunging illegitimate corrupted authority. Who do we believe? The news media are no longer journalists, they are political propogandists. Shut Of Main Stream Media! No more fake reality and false narrative. I guess that is a good thing. It is turning us all back to the voice of Truth, to God’s Voice. We can’t navigate through the jungle of this age without Him and we should have been listening to Him all along. We need His discernment. We need to hear His reality of truth first. Definitely a JUNGLE out there, dense with deception. Listen up to God: Isaiah 30:21 When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow it.” Isaiah 30:21 There is never a time where we are not navigated by God. He has not left us here alone to make our own way, He is our Way-Maker God. Listen Up! Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/whispers/

1 Minute Encouragement Video: Contagious Love, is God’s essential love. It is given to us freely, and when we open our hearts wide to God, He fills us with His love and it immediately begins to flourish in us, God’s love, and the best thing is, it never ends, as God’s love is a loyal and forever love. Love is essential to our human soul and the love of God is our simply-significantly enough. God’s love is extraordinarily, exciting and thrilling to our spirit, and very contagious. God’s love is an all-consuming love and as we give ourselves to Him, making our relationship with Him personal, genuine and unique, we are filled with His overflow of love, a contagious love, that attracts others to Him. The contagious love of God is incredibly fulfilling, spectacularly amazing, and I encourage you to know Him, know God personally, love Him and be loved by Him in that way only He can.

#1MinuteEncouragement So grateful today for the Supremacy of Jesus Christ, unshakeable, unremovable, present with us. Jesus, Who was, is and is to come. It is a day to be thankful for God’s Rulership of Love, a powerful love, no one and nothing can separate us from.

The storm is upon us and the battle belongs to the Lord. “I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"; Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His Truth is marching on.” Julia Ward Howe. Christ in us #HeartTOHeart our hope of glory. God bless you and yours.

#1MinuteEncouragement There is never NOT a God plan in play. God's purposes are in play in the unseen right now for our good and for His Glory. Don’t go by what you see, go by what you know. God is good. God is faithful. God is just. Awe-GOD! Watch In Prayer – Wait In Patient Enduring Faith – See GOD’s GLORY.

The tide of the Cancel God culture is coming in strong, fast and hard into our life path. It is distressing us all and we can easily be deceived and get swept up in it. It is difficult to manage this cultural current as it pressing into our lives with false narrative and fake reality. Walking alone against the current is exhausting. We need to depend on God. God is the ONE Who directs all the tides and all the currents that flow into our lives, our neighborhoods, cities, states and nations, He is Supreme in this way. This cultural battle belongs to the Lord and the rip tide deception in the midst of it is very tricky and strong. Listen Up! We need God’s discernment, protection, wisdom, strength and knowledge. He’s got this. He has gone before us and He has a plan. So, we stay in followship of Jesus, wholly-holy aligned with His way, truth and life. Stepping out with Him, we can navigate safely. Let Be, Be Still And Know He Is God. #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/silently-submit/

Jesus, let our lives not be all about who or what we are against, but be all about You, Who is for us, Who we are for. Why do we strive to belong in a world we were not created to belong in? We should do what it takes to pursue the Kingdom of God, letting this be the perspective we live out of. Knowing, God, loving God, serving God, this is WHO and His Kingdom is WHAT we should be for. Once for all, this was Jesus’ way. We need to be for all. Being against something is exhausting as we pursue worldly rights we think we should have. We get so offensive about our “human rights” when Jesus, the One Who bought our freedom did it by laying down His “Kingdom Rights”, once for all! The cause we should be chasing after should not be supported by a worldly viewpoint but a Kingdom perspective. Once for all, like Jesus, we should be on mission with God, in followship of His Holy Spirit, not taking up worldly causes that are temporary and only matter for the here and now. Our mission is a forever mission and this Kingdom of God is where we should invest most of our time, pointing people to the reality of truth, Jesus, His Kingdom, the forever part of life. We were all created in God’s Image and we all matter. Let’s not trip over our personal rights, instead let’s embrace the human race as the one race we are, and together prepare to share the destiny we all have in God’s Kingdom because Jesus died for us, once for all, so we are able to live with Him forever.

#1MinuteEncouragement Does your life have a living legacy ripple effect? Are you choosing to do the right thing, the first time, from every moment to every choice? This is a ripple effect for God on the sands of life, our living for Him, consistently, constantly, continually being a light of His truth in us and through our living. Be so, make a ripple effect of God’s Glory on your life path, a pattern for others to follow. Followship of Jesus ripples His truth, His life, His ways throughout the sands of time. Be So.

#1MinuteEncouragement When we do the wrong thing, it will not only boomerang back on us, but on all those we are in relationship with. Sin has consequence. The deception of sin is how the enemy tricks us to believe this is our choice and only our consequence that we risk. Yet, the reality of truth is, we don’t sin alone, the consequences of sin are so far reaching. Everyone feels the consequences of one person’s sin. Our enemy is not really for us, he uses us to do his bidding, and then tosses us away. Torment happens when you make a pact with the devil, disobey God and sin, completely underestimating the enemies’ power. The enemy of your soul, is never going to be your advocate, it is against his edict to steal, kill and destroy. When a government corrupts, we all suffer from the sin of our leadership, we feel the sting of this backbite throughout the nation.

#1MinuteEncouragement Stumbling? Got darkness all around you? Feeling down in your soul? Depressed? Hopeless? Look up! Jesus is a LIGHT of Hope that no darkness can extinguish. God’s light of TRUTH can’t be extinguished. No man, no evil, nothing can put out the truth of God and His light that shatters the darkness of deceit. God is purposefully working in the unseen. We have an Advocate, with us and completely for us. Thus and Therefore, we can patiently endure these times we are growing through. God is never underwhelming ~ He still can ~ He still will. Never underestimate God. Shake off doubt. Cling to God, dig your life roots deeply in Him. Be encouraged and hope in the dark. God bless you and yours.

#1MinuteEncouragement No Doubt About It Change Is On The Horizon. We won’t be able to navigate these times by our own. We need the wisdom and navigation of God and all we have to do is ask. Our God is a trustworthy Advocate and a great Navigator for times such as these. Ask God for what you need. God is the Light in this present darkness and He will be our simply-significantly enough in the storms approaching our horizon.

#1MinuteEncouragement It only takes a minute to be deeply encouraged by God. I believe in God and I believe God. Word Strong is a place of inner spiritual core strength, a place we all need to be in times such as these. We can believe God, His truth endures. No doubt about it. God is working in the unseen for our good. Believe it. Trust God.

People can “black out” communication so you can’t hear what you want to hear, and control what you can hear, to be only what they want you to hear. But they can’t black out God’s Voice and this is the only Voice we need. Lately my communication with God has been discernment that is stretching my faith. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate, and He will prepare us for the things to come. In times such as these there are many people who have been corrupted by power that is no higher than self. Don’t give these people with their mediatic false frenzy, permission to speak into your life. God still speaks and what we truly need is to listen up to God and black out all the human voices, so we can be spiritually prepared for the days ahead. We serve a Way-Maker God, Who can and will navigate us through the dark chaos ahead with His Light of Truth.
