Psalm 119:18 New King James Version 18 Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! No matter how many times I read this passage of scripture, God always shows me something new from it, and today was no different. If you see this story at first, you see yes the Chariots of fire, and this awesome way in which God delivers Elisha and his servant, but there's something else to be seen out of this. As Amy Boucher Pye, this morning's devotional writer stated so well, what we see in this, is how “God lifted the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds for Elisha and his servant.” It's why I really appreciate these questions from this morning's devotional, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. I'm gonna do something different here, and do the questions in reverse, because I'd love to hear from all of you with the first one. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will encourage your heart through them. How has God revealed His reality to you previously? Was it through opening your eyes to see something was out of place in your relationship with someone? Was it something involving your job? Or was it something involving a friend or a loved one that God showed you needed help? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things God showed me out of 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 challenge and encourage you to want to ask God to open your eyes to His truth every day. Come join me in this vlog tonight, my friends, and learn the importance of asking God for his spiritual vision for every situation around you! 😊 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 you'll act on it. How could you ask God to open your eyes to His truth concerning situations that weigh you down? I pray tonight, my friends, that you take the time to ask God to adjust your spiritual vision, so that you see what HE wants you to see. Trust me when I say we’re experiencing what Ephesians 6:12 states in how we are facing a world in which we are going against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places, so we need to make sure that our spiritual vision is clear. This is why we need to ask God to lift the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds, to help us see what we can't see on our own, so that we can be God's agents of love, truth, and compassion to everyone around us. UNTIL THURSDAY: HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Peter 4:10 New King James Version 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! I really love it this morning's passage of scripture, because it reminded me of the fact that I have precious gifts from God that God values and wants me to use for Him. I have gifts, that while others may minimize, or tried to deter me from using, God has called me to use these gifts for Him, and I'm going to do just that. I want to find ways every day to be able to use the gifts that he's given me, to be that unique vessel for God service, and I pray that's the same for you. 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 encourage you to not be afraid to use the gifts and talents that God has given you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to not be afraid to use your God-given gifts! 😊 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 not only challenge you to seek God to show you the gifts that He’s given you, but to embrace them, and use them in ways that glorify and honor Him. What gifts has God given you to serve others? If you’re not sure what your gifts are, who might help you get a better sense of those God-given gifts? Tonight, my friends, I wanna challenge you to go to the Lord, and ask Him to show you the gifts and talents that He’s bestowed on you and use them for God every day. Ask God to show you how to use the gifts that He’s given you, to not only glorify, and honor Him, but also to help you embrace the different ways that He’s equipped you to use those gifts to love and serve others in the Kingdom of God. I also pray that we learn to respect the gifts that other brothers and sisters in Christ have, respect the “lower decks people”, and never use the gifts that we have in an abusive fashion. That we start encouraging everybody, no matter what gift they have to use that gift mightily for God, so that they see how valuable in Christ they truly are. Bottom line here my friends, don't be afraid to use the gifts that God has given you. UNTIL WEDNESDAY: HAVE A TRULY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 John 5:3 New King James Version 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 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 EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! I was reading this morning’s scripture, as well as other passages of scripture in regards to this, and I'll be honest guys, and say that I grew up believing that I had to obey God or I'd get in trouble. That obedience wasn't based on anything out of love, but on fear and terror. I think that's why I'm so grateful for the promises out of God's word, for how i have been able to read God's word for myself, and learn that obedience is not based on coercion or fear, put on a genuine love for Jesus, in which I am learning to see my obedience to Him “as a wise and loving act of trust and worship.” I think that's why these questions from this morning’s devotional are really getting me to think about this, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them. How does seeing obedience to God as an act of love and trust change your view of His desire for obedience? How has God proven that you can trust Him? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that 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 help you to see what true, real, loving obedience is. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about real obedience from the heart without fear! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask this question of all of you, and I pray that you really take time to think about it. What does it mean to obey? Is your definition of obedience based on fear and terror, or on a loving act of trust and worship to God? I really pray this is something you think about, and if it's based on fear and terror, that you go to the Lord and ask Him to help change your heart on this. Maybe you're gonna need some godly mental health help to do so, but please don't be afraid to seek God's help in this area. Remember that Jesus love is selfish unconditional, and never forceful or abusive. God loves you unconditionally, and I pray that you will see that as you choose to lovingly trust and obey Him. UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A MAJESTIC, BLISSFUL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 30:5 New King James Version 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But [a]joy comes in the morning. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! Tell me something my friends. When was the last time you wept for joy? What do you think the meaning of life is? I truly wonder as God was giving this precious promise from this morning scripture to Jeremiah, if Jeremiah thought of this Psalm above. I wonder what was on Jeremiah’s mind as God was giving him the precious promises of restoration and redemption for all of Israel. As I read this passage of scripture, I think about what Psalm 126:5 States and how those who sow in tears will reap in very away from us joy, and the precious promise out of Revelation 21:4 in that one-day God will wipe away all tears from our eyes, and that there will be no sorrow or death. Imagine that moment, my friends! Imagine what that's going to be like. Right now, guys, we're seeing glimpses of the joy that God promises us. We go through moments of sorrow, but we also go through moments of joy, especially weeping for joy, in which we are experiencing such joy with deep personal meaning, that we can't help but cry. Tonight, 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 verses from God's word, 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 be thankful for the joy that God has put before you. That you will see the meaning in your life that God has for you through the tears, and that you will want to live that joy out every day. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself how your tears of sorrow can become tears of joy! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you think about the questions that were posed from this morning's devotional, and I pray that you truly know what the meaning of life is. I pray that you see that the true meaning of life is found in Jesus Christ, and that He alone provides true joy and happiness. I pray that you learn what it's like to live a life intimately with Him, that you ask Christ every day to draw you closer and closer to Him, through His Word, prayer, and the fellowship of real believers. To not only thank God for the joy that's ahead of you, but also thank God for the joy in your journey right now. Continue to pursue that precious relationship with Jesus every day, and watch how much joy, satisfaction, and so much more that you will have, when you continue to live intimately with Him. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL MONDAY: HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 56:4 New King James Version 4 In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!! You know guys, like so many 4-year-olds out there we adults face moments of stress, fear, and discomfort. As Arthur Jackson stated so very well, things like, “Surgeries, separation from loved ones, mental or psychological challenges—and more—prompt our fears, sighs, cries, and groans. We get scared, panic, and in many instances, we do/make stupid decisions. It's in those moments though, that God continues to remind me that I can and must trust in Him. That's easier said than done, but it's something I'm learning every day. Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has been showing me from his word, on this very issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage you to see that you can ALWAYS put your trust in the Heavenly Father. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself how you can see and experience God's love and care even in the midst of your trials and discomfort! 😊 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 encourage you to trust God in the midst of whatever situation you may be facing. What situation is presently making you fearful? How can you rest in His care as you bring your fears before your loving heavenly Father in prayer? I pray tonight, that whatever situation you’re experiencing, whatever health issue, job issue, family issue, or any struggle that you are facing right now, that you take whatever fear you’re experiencing and hand it to the Lord. Don’t be afraid to admit your humanity and frailty to God. Don't be afraid to let Him know that you're scared out of your mind over whatever it is that you're facing, because God's there to calm those fears. Yes, we are going to have toxic families, serious health issues, relationships will end, and yes, you will see scary, stressful, and fearful things in today's headlines, but know beyond a shadow of doubt that God is on your side! Most of all, I pray that you will always remember, that these challenges are never to be interpreted as being abandoned by God. He fights for us, loves us unconditionally, and will never leave us. It is in those moments, when life and all of its craziness stir up our fears, that we can trust and rely on our Heavenly Father, because He will never let us down! UNTIL SUNDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A SERENE, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

James 5:16 New King James Version 16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, [b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! You know guys, I really love this story of Hezekiah, not just because God answered his prayer, but for the fact that he went to God at the 1st place. He went to God to start with, because he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God would listen to his prayers, and that He would answer them. He went to the Lord, in genuine prayer, pleading with God to spare his life, because he felt that God still had more for him to do. However, Hezekiah trusted whatever answer God gave him, and for that that's what matters the most. I think that's why I really like these questions from this morning’s devotional, because they are a reminder not just of the importance of praying earnestly, often, and with hopeful faith, but also knowing that God does listen to, answer, and value our prayers. That bottom line all our prayers matter to him! As such, I'd like to share these questions with you tonight, and I pray that these questions will encourage you to pray in faith, knowing that God listens, and He answers. How can you remind yourself to pause and pray more frequently? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has been continuing to show 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 encourage, and motivate you to know that God listens to, and values your prayers. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the fact that God not only hears your prayers, but that your prayers matter to Him! 😊 So, 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 you'll act on it. Who in your life needs prayer today? I want to challenge you tonight, to think of those who have expressed their need for prayer and take time to lift them up in prayer today. Maybe what you can do is take out a notebook and a pen write down their name and their prayer need and lift them up before the Lord. Don't think that you don't have the words to speak, just pray from your heart, and know that God will honor it. Trust in the one that you can cast all your cares on, because God not only listens to your prayers, but he also answers. He may not answer our prayers immediately, or give us the answers that we want, but as Karen stated in this morning’s devotional, “we can be sure that God is working in and through every prayer.” UNTIL SATURDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Romans 8:32 New King James Version 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! Allow me to ask all of you this question from this morning's devotional my friends, and I pray that the question not only challenges you but encourages you to know just how committed God is to all of his creation, but most of all loves you. How does God’s commitment to His creation impact you? I really thought about this question, and asked myself how does God's commitment to His creation impact me? The thing that I realized in this, is that it shows just how much God cares for and truly loves his creation but most of all how much God loves me! I think that's why I'm so grateful for what He did on Calvary for me, and that because of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, I'm a brand-new creation in Him, and I can trust Him with my very life. Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I learned from this morning 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 that you serve a precious, wonderful, loving, trustworthy creator and savior. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about the Creator and Redeemer that you can trust with your heart and life! 😊 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 you think about this question, and that it causes you to cherish and never take for granted what Christ Jesus has done for you. How can you respond to His love for you? I want to reach out to those who don't know Christ as savior and ask you this question. How will you respond to the grand gift of love that God has for you? Will you accept that free gift of eternal life, or will you reject it? I pray you don't reject it, but that you choose to come to know Christ as savior today period to realize how much God loves you, and how He proved that love through sending his one and only son Jesus to bear the consequences of your sin, so that you can have eternal life in Him. Here's a link to know more about that, and I pray that you'll make that decision to know Christ as your savior today. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL FRIDAY: HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 John 4:4 New King James Version 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. WHO HAS GIVEN US THE ULTIMATE VICTORY!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!! Tell me something. How does Jesus’ authority give you hope? I believe Jesus' authority gives me hope, because it lets me know I serve the One who has the ultimate authority over everyone and everything. The bottom line I serve the risen savior, who has the ultimate authority over sin and death, and the ultimate victory! Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some 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 with you encourages end motivates you to realize that in Christ you have the ultimate victory, because you are under the authority of the risen savior. Come join me in this flag tonight my friends, and learn about the powerful saving authority of Jesus, who has given all of us the ultimate victory! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question, make that this challenge from this morning's devotional, and i pray that you will act on it in sharing the good news with others today. What has He done for you that you can share with someone today? I pray tonight that you are not afraid to live in the fact that the crucified and risen Jesus has made a way for all of us to come to Him no matter what our past might be. That no matter where we are from, or skin color, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, or whatever we have done, that God's redemptive love is for each and every one of us. That God forgets the past but has a bright wonderful future that He holds for all of us, and He's promised to be with us every step of the way. This is good news that we can't keep to ourselves, so we want to share this hope, and share it with everyone possible. Most of all guys, we need to remember that while the devil and the world may have some power, it's only for a little while. Ultimately, “all authority” belongs to Jesus forever, and one day we will experience that ultimate authority (Philippians 2:9-11)! UNTIL THURSDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 John 4:10 New King James Version 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! Allow me to ask these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they not only challenge you, but that they encourage you to know that never ending, reckless, unconditional love that God has for you, and that you will want to share it with others as well.

Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn what it means to know that God loved you first, and that you can never outrun His love! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that you take it as a challenge to want to express that love to others. How can you show love to others this week? I want to challenge you with this question tonight, and I pray that you really think about it. Ask God to show you different ways where you can show love to someone out there and show it! Maybe you have a neighbor that is either a shut in, single mom, or somebody that is struggling, and God can use you to help them. Go over there with food, help them fix up things around the house, or just go over there and have a conversation with them. Let them know that you care about them and show it through your actions. I pray that you truly learn to realize and appreciate the incredible, overwhelming, never ending, unconditional, reckless love that God has for you. Most of all, remember as Xochitl Dixon, this morning’s devotional writer says so well, “When it comes to loving well, God always wins. No matter how hard we try, we can’t out-love God!” UNTIL WEDNESDAY: HAVE A TRULY BLESSED AND PEACEFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Peter 4:7 New King James Version 7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! As I was reading this very familiar passage of scripture, I was recalling many of the things that Paul stated, on putting on the full armor of God, so we can stand against the devil and his minions, but I was realizing something else. That one of the weapons that we have as Christians that I believe is also part of our armor, is the weapon of prayer. That we are to as Marvin Williams, this morning's devotional writer, describes, having a “pray and watch” mindset, so that we can combat the evil powers and pierce the darkness with the light of Christ. As I thought about this, the questions from this morning's devotional, really got me to thinking about what it means to be watching and praying, so that I am alert, prepared, and looking forward to Christ’s return. As such guys, I'd like to share these questions from this morning's devotions with all of you, and I pray that they will challenge your heart and get you to thinking about what it means to watch and pray. How can having a “pray and watch” mindset help you fight spiritual battles? What does it mean for you to stay spiritually alert? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me on this issue, not only from this morning’s scripture, but from other passages of God's Word, 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 that when you are fighting spiritual battles, that as a believer in Christ you need to take prayer seriously. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself what it means to be continually watching and praying! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think of what it means to have a “pray and watch” mindset in your life, and act on it. To take hold of, put on, and use the whole armor of God, but don't forget the most important weapon, and that is prayer. I pray that we not only continually pray in the Spirit, choosing to rely on His power in our lives, but also choose to rest in His guidance, direction, and respond in obedience to His promptings. I pray that we learn especially to keep every fellow believer that we can in prayer, so that they know that people out there care about them. I pray that we permeate our lives with this “pray and watch” approach so that we can effectively combat evil powers and pierce the darkness with the light of Christ every day. UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Hebrews 1:14 New King James Version 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! I really appreciated this morning scripture, because as I was reading it, God brought to my mind so many instances in which He had His angels not just watching over me, but intervening and interceding in my life to keep me from harm. Not just with me but also with Ricky, and I can't help but fall on my knees and praise God and give Him so much thanks for this. I think that's why I'm very grateful for these questions from this morning's devotional, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will encourage your heart through them too. What might God be doing for you through His angels? How does this encourage you? 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 encourage you to see, that if you know Christ is savior, God has His Angels watching over you too. That they are His ministering spirits of protection, guidance, direction, and wisdom, and that we can always be thankful to God for them. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about these wonderful ministering spirits that God has watching over all of us who know Him! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you think about these questions from this morning's devotional, and ask yourself what has God done for you through His angels, and what might He be doing for you right now through them? Think of all the ways in which God has sent his angels into your life, when you have needed that helped the most, maybe you didn't see them, but they were there, helping you with a serious situation, and just take time to thank God for them. Most of all, my friends, remember and never be afraid to ask God to send His angels to keep charge over you, to know that His angels will protect you, and that with God being near you as well as Him sending these wonderful ministering spirits into your life, that you never have anything to fear. Remember that because you know Christ as your savior, God's got angels watching over you, and always will! UNTIL MONDAY: HAVE A SUPREMELY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Matthew 6:34 New King James Version 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! As I was reading this particular passage of scripture, I thought about all the ways in which the Satan can insert the thorns and weeds of deceit and worry, as well as any other distractions, into the soil of our heart and how they can do some serious damage. I especially thought about not only how we can allow the normal worries and cares of this world to choke us out, but what about the spiritual trauma that many endure? What about the things that someone goes through, such as SA, spiritual abuse, spousal abuse, and so much more, that can cause that person to turn away from God if not helped properly? We can't let these things impede our spiritual growth, but how do we help them learn to truly follow God, while also helping them to heal from these wounds? 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 challenge your hearts to want to be on the alert for, and ask God to help you get rid of these weeds that can so destroy a fertile heart for God. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to pull out these “worry weeds”! 😊 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 help you see the importance of keeping your spiritual garden “weed free”. How is God helping you grow the seeds He's planted within you? How can you pull the weeds of worry? My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you go to the Lord every day, and ask for His help to pull out these weeds. Ask for His help to pull out the weeds of doubt, worry, the deceitful riches of this world, and the weeds of trauma that Satan wants to inflict on us, so they can't interfere with our growth in Christ Jesus, so that we can bear wonderful fruit for Him. And most of all pray for those that have been through spiritual abuse and trauma, to not give up on their walk with God, and if you've been through this, that you were able to get real, compassionate, caring, and Christ-like help. Dear Jesus, help us to pull out these weeds! UNTIL SUNDAY: HAVE A SWEET, PEACEFUL, AND SERENE EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Ephesians 4:16 New King James Version 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! Tell me something, my friends. When have you served well with other believers in Jesus? What’s the basis for the spiritual bond you share with them? I seem to remember an interesting dialogue between Caesar the chimpanzee, and Maurice the orangutan, in Dawn of The Planet of the Apes, where Maurice took two sticks put them together, and stated to Caesar three simple words. “Apes together strong.”, and I believe that applies to you and I today. I believe it applies, because as Jennifer Benson Schuldt, this morning's devotional writer stated so very well, “We can accomplish a lot when we work together.” I think that's why I really appreciate this morning’s scripture, as well as the other passages of scripture I've read in regard to unity and generosity, and ironically how they both go hand in hand. After all, if Euodia, and Syntyche could set aside their differences, for the sake of the apostle Paul, who knows what else they were able to accomplish when they were willing to work together even more? 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 encourage and challenge your heart to want to work together with other believers, so that you can accomplish much in Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how working together for Christ can accomplish a lot! 😊 So, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that we are willing to set aside all the preconceived notions, prejudices, fears, and yes, our egos, to serve God willingly and obediently, by working with others, especially those that we normally wouldn't work together with. I pray for all the Euodia’s and Syntyche’s out there, that they will learn to set aside whatever their grievances are, and choose to serve the Lord, and not let their egos get in the way. Most of all, I pray that are willing to set aside our own egos, fears, prejudices, and more so, so that we can do what we are meant to do, and that is accomplish much for Christ. UNTIL SATURDAY: HAVE A VERY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 118:6 New King James Version 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? WHO IS ON MY SIDE, AND CAN DO ANYTHING IN HIM!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! Who has inspired your faith in God? Is there someone in your life, or was there someone in your life, that helped shape your faith in God, and helped you to see that in Christ you can do anything? God has done that for me through so many people, and it's something I'm very grateful for. The biggest thing I've learned from all of them, is that I can do anything in Christ, be anyone or anything that God wants me to be, and that's what matters the most. 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 it helps you to see that God is your helper, that He is your true source of strength and help in all circumstances, and that in Him you can do and be anything for Him too! Come join me in this vlog tonight and learn this precious and wonderful 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 see God as your eternal, ever present, true helper in any and all circumstances. How do you see God as your source of help in all things? I don't know about any of you, but I see God as my source of help, my true source of help even when I'm facing emergency surgery, dealing with the death of a fur baby, or during and after a natural disaster. I'm learning to see right now, that as Arthur Jackson this morning's devotional writer stated so very well, “Regardless of age, stage in life, or circumstances, God will help all who wholeheartedly trust Him.”, That even like Caleb, whether I am 54, 84, or 104, I know that God can and will be able to use me. I just have to be willing to let Him do so. I just need to trust that God is my helper, that I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me. That regardless of whether I am young or old, weak, or strong, 100% physically able bodied, or battling arthritis, herniated discs in my neck and back, that have now produced a narrowing of my lower vertebrae, causing me great pain, that God is my true source of help in any and every circumstance, And that despite my physical situation, God can and will still be able to use me for Him. UNTIL FRIDAY: HAVE A TRANQUIL AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Corinthians 12:12 New King James Version 12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!! There was something about not just reading this morning's devotional, but also and rereading this passage of scripture, that not only made me re-see something not just about this passage of scripture but examine something about myself that I needed to examine. That all those in the body of Christ, no matter their physical, mental, emotional disability, their skin color, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, or anything else about them, that all of us who know Christ is savior, no matter who we are or where we're from, we are part of the body of Christ, and that's what should matter. That we are created all uniquely, wonderfully, and beautifully, and we need to start valuing each other in this aspect. 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 help you understand how important it is to value every member of Christ’s body, no matter who they are, where they're from, or ANYTHING about them. Company in this blog tonight my friends and learn the valuable truth that everything and everyone is beautiful in Christ Jesus! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these final questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will challenge you to value and cherish each and every member of Christ's body. How have you been blessed by others’ unique gifts? How can churches encourage diverse ways to serve? I felt very led of the Lord to echo something that I shared last year, and I pray that you will listen to this. I pray that we will learn to stop the arrogant “I'm better than you!” attitude and learn to show genuine appreciation and respect to the “lower decks people.” It's time that we as the body of Christ, learn to get over ourselves, and realize that we are no better than anyone else within the body of Christ itself, and that includes YOU! Learn to respect and honor those seemingly insignificant, less important members of the church, and treat them with the honor and respect that they deserve. Let's start encouraging the “lower decks people” within the church and let them know how valuable and special in Christ they truly are! UNTIL THURSDAY: HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

John 14:27 New King James Version 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! I'm sure a lot of you are looking at today's headlines, seeing the craziness in the news, as well as all that insanity on social media, and you're wondering “Where’s the peace?” You're wondering what's it gonna take for the insanity to end, and for actual peace to happen. I think we need to remind ourselves as Christians, that man made peace is not gonna work, because it's marred by sin. However, the only real peace that we can count on, is the peace that Jesus Christ offers, and we need to be clinging to that right now. I think it's why these questions from this morning’s devotional, are really challenging my heart, and wanting to motivate me to be God's agent of peace, and I pray that as you read these questions, that God will motivate your heart to want to be His agent of peace too. Please read these questions carefully, and ask God to speak to you through them. Where do you see humans working for peace? How is God’s peacemaking different? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from this passage of scripture, but from other passages of 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 help you to see that the only one who could provide real peace within this crazy fractious world, is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about Jesus: The one who is our true and real peace! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think about what it really means to know the source of true and lasting peace, which is Jesus Christ, and claim that piece especially right now in the midst of this insanity that's in our world today. I pray you realize that we're not going to be able to escape conflict, because we're going to go through trials, tribulations, conflict, hardships, and so much more. However, we have the one true source of peace within the midst of the storms, the strife, and the heartache, and that is in Jesus Christ. While man-made efforts for peace prove futile, God's doesn't. That's because God is the true source of peace, and he can make real and lasting peace within this fractious world. UNTIL WEDNESDAY: HAVE A TRULY BLESSED AND RESTFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Isaiah 41:10 New King James Version 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ GOD AND THE FAMILY OF BELIEVERS ARE THERE FOR YOU!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! Guys, after reading what I read out of Ecclesiastes I thought not only of how important it is to be with the family of believers, but I thought of how important it is to let everyone out there know, especially those who think they're unloved, how much God truly does love them, and we need to let them know it. That's why I'd like to share these questions from this morning's devotional with all of you, and I pray that these questions challenge your heart tonight and will challenge you to want to reach out to others. Please read these questions very carefully, and let God speak to you through them. How can you commit to spending time with the family of believers? 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 it will help you see the importance of being not only part of the community of Christ, but being willing to reach out to the lonely that are within it. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn for yourself that you're not in this alone! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will challenge and motivate you to want to help others, especially to those who are lonely and feel no one cares about them. Who around you is isolated and in need? Tonight, I want to reach out to the person the young person who's being bullied at school, the person who's being abused by their spouse, the son or daughter in a toxic family, or any person who thinks that no one cares about them, and let them know this. You are beyond a shadow of a doubt loved by an almighty God, and please don't forget that! I also challenge fellow believers out there to open their heart, and spend time with the lonely, despondent, depressed, traumatized, and outcast within your community, and be their encourager. Let them know, that you care about them, but that most of all God cares about them, and provide them the encouragement they need. Because as Karen says so very well, “We need each other.” SO, UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A PEACEFUL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!! https://988lifeline.org/ https://www.thehotline.org/

Job 20:12-14 New King James Version 12 “Though evil is sweet in his mouth, And he hides it under his tongue, 13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it, But still keeps it in his [a]mouth, 14 Yet his food in his stomach turns sour; It becomes cobra venom within him. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!! I don't know how to describe this guys, but there's something about this morning’s scripture that got me to really thinking about how temptation/sin can be and is so enticing and sweet in the moment we embrace it and allow whatever it is to enter our lives, but soon after, it truly does leave that “sour taste” in our spiritual mouths. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional are so very thought provoking to me, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and i pray that God will challenge your heart through them. When has temptation led to bitter consequences for you? 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 open your eyes to see how important it is to humble yourself before God, Seek His strength to resist the temptations that Satan puts in your path, so that he will have no choice but to flee from you. This way, you won't have to experience the bitterness, the regret, the travesty of having given in to temptation. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn for yourself how you can avoid long term consequences for short term pleasure! 😊 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 enable you to seek God and his strength to resist Satan’s temptations in your life. How can you remain faithful to God? I pray tonight that whatever temptation, lure, seduction, attractive little carrot, or wonderful little “sweet thing” that Satan is putting in front of you, that you will follow what James 4:7 states in humbling yourself before God, resisting the devil, so that he will have no choice but to flee from you. I pray that when you are tempted to give in to whatever sin Satan wants you to commit, that you will think about the long term consequences that can result from giving in to that sin, and that you will choose to walk away from it. Don't let the temporary sweetness of temptation leave a sour taste in your mouth spiritually, that you'll regret! UNTIL MONDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A SERENELY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Romans 12:18 New King James Version 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! This may seem like a very hard question to ask, but I feel it's necessary to ask it. It's a question that yes, it's out of this morning's devotional, but it's something that I've been thinking about, not just as a Christian, but as someone who has been through the “forgive and forget” business with other believers. This question from this morning's devotional really got me to thinking about the fact that family does matter. Both our earthly families and God's family of believers. What would it mean for you to “make every effort to live in peace with everyone” in God’s family? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will open your eyes to see just how important family does matter, whether it's the family of God, or your biological family. But I also pray that it helps you to see that you can live peaceably with others, even individuals that you don't get along with, while still maintaining your boundaries and your sanity. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to live peaceably with others while maintaining your sanity and your boundaries! 😊 So, my friends, as they 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 God speaks to you through it and you act on it. Is there a particular person you might need to approach for reconciliation? I pray tonight, that if there is someone you need to make biblical reconciliation with, that you do so with humility, compassion, and are willing to accept their not wanting you in their lives. Don't write them off as “bitter” because they are wanting their sanity and their boundaries intact, but accept their response and move on. I also urge those who have been violated, abused, and victimized by so-called believers in Christ, as well as family members, to know that what you have been through is not your fault, and that there are people out there that care about you that want to help you heal from what happened to you, and respect the fact that you want nothing to do with the person that did what they did to you. Strive to invest the efforts needed to live in peace with others, while maintaining healthy boundaries and your sanity, and watch how God will bless you. UNTIL SUNDAY: HAVE A SERENE, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Psalm 60:12 New King James Version 12 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!! There's something very interesting about this morning's passage of scripture, something so interesting that I can't help but praise God for it. I've read this passage of scripture out of II Chronicles 20 so many times, and every time I learn something from it, but today was extra special. I was reminded, that no matter what valley I'm in, no matter what I am going through, the number one God stands beside me, and two that God takes the most difficult valleys that I go through, and turns them into places of praise, when I choose to give what I am going through to Him. I think that's why I so appreciate the questions from this morning's devotional, because they're a reminder of the fact that no matter what valley I go through, God will turn them into places of praise, but most of all, no valley and no pit is deeper than God's love for me. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will encourage your heart through them. How have you seen God bring good out of difficulty in your life? What can you thank Him for today? Tonight, my friends, I feel very led of the Lord to share some things that He showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will help you find that valley of praise in the midst of your despair. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how you can go from the valley of despair to praise! 😊 So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think about all the ways where God has brought good out of whatever difficulty you have been through in your life, and don't be afraid to thank Him for it. I pray that if you're going through a valley right now, that you will go to Almighty God Himself, cling to and claim the precious promises from His Word, trusting that God will bring you the victory that you’re seeking. Please remember that God's mercy can turn even your most difficult valley into a place of beautiful praise when you choose to give all your cares, concerns, and fears to Him. He's the God of the valleys, the one who will take those valleys and turn them into places of praise, but most of all, He is the loving God in which no valley, no pit is greater than His love, and that is a fact that you can count on! UNTIL SATURDAY EVERYBODY: HAVE AN ABUNDNTLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Jeremiah 31:3 New King James Version 3 The LORD has appeared [a]of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!! How have you experienced the love of God as a caring Father? What I'm wondering about in this, is when was there a moment where you experienced the fact that God infinitely, unconditionally, and overwhelmingly loves you? That He showed himself to you to be a true loving caring Father, without any strings attached. Was it through a verse of scripture, or the encouragement of someone who genuinely wanted you to know that you are truly loved by an almighty God? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this morning scripture, as well as other passages of scripture that talk about this very issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and i pray that what I'm able to share with you, will help you see that without a shadow of a doubt, you are truly, truly loved unconditionally and endlessly by an Almighty God. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn more about that tender, unconditional, never ending, and passionate love of your Heavenly Father! 😊 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 encourage you to go to your Heavenly Father, who loves you unconditionally, with anything that you have on your mind and He will answer and be there for YOU! What concerns might you bring to Him today? I don't know what any of you are going through right now, but I want to say this. If you've grown up in a home where conditions are placed for love, where you have been abused, neglected, parentified, and every other ungodly thing that has been inflicted on you, I want you to know, that God's not that way! God truly loves you, and is there for you if you will let Him. He is the Heavenly Father, who loves His children unconditionally, will never let them down, and when you run to Him, He will be there to pick you up and provide His tender care to you. Just go run to him, and experience His unconditional tender love today! https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL FRIDAY DEAR ONES: HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Proverbs 16:25 New King James Version 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. SO LET’S MAKE SURE THEY’RE GOD HONORING ONES!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! Reading this morning's passage of scripture really got me to thinking about the fact that first and foremost, we have the free will to make our own choices in our lives, but also that the choices we make matter. That the choices we make have consequences, and if we make the wrong choices, those consequences could be disastrous. I think that's why I find it so important especially right now, to seek God first in everything that I say and do. To make sure that I'm coming before the Lord every day, asking Him to help me make choices that are glorifying and honoring to Him. Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things from God's word with all of you, in regards to the choices that we make, 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 see just how important it is to make choices that are honoring to God, and that every choice we make truly does matter. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn for yourself how every choice we make does matter! 😊 So come on my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that they get you to thinking about the choices that you make in your life. What about your path of life needs reexamination or correction? What’s keeping you from asking for God’s help and courage to make corrections? Ask yourself this my friends. Where will that choice lead? Does that choice truly honor God? Does that choice you're going to make help or disrupt others? Most of all, is that choice the best path for you as a believer in Jesus? If any of these questions are answered with a no, then you need to really examine the choice that you're about to make, and go in the opposite direction! The Bible is littered with individuals, who made choices. Some good, some bad, but each choice had a result. My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you realize that the choices you make truly DO matter, and that you will put God first in your decision making. Trust me when I tell you that God will help you if you allow Him to do so, and when you ask God to help you make choices that truly honor Him, you'll never regret it! UNTIL THURSDAY MY FRIENDS: HAVE A WONDERFULLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

1 Thessalonians 2:12 New King James Version 12 that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! What does it mean to “walk worthy”? What does it mean to live and walk a life that is worthy of the calling that God has given you? As I said I really thought about these particular questions as well as the questions out of this morning's devotional, and God really was challenging my heart with these questions. So much so, that God put me in a bit of a different direction on what to share with you tonight. I'd like to share some things God showed me from his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will challenge you to want to walk and live worthy of the calling that God has given you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to “walk worthy” for God! 😊 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 help enable you to walk and live worthy of the calling that God has given you. What has God called you to do? How has He gifted you? Are you “ready to go,” in exercising the grace gifts that God has bestowed on you? I want to challenge you guys, to think of what it means to “walk worthy” of the calling that God has given you, ask God how you can walk worthy, and walk worthy! Don't let anyone, whether a so-called Christian, family member, or unsaved person tell you that you are useless, and that you can't accomplish anything for God. Just as God used Katherine Johnson to make one of the most awesome contributions to space exploration ever, God can use you in any capacity that He sees fit, even if it's something as “worthless” as cleaning toilets. I pray that you will know what it means to “walk worthy” for the Lord, and give God your all in everything that you do. I know you may ask yourself what God has called you to do, and think that you don't have any gift or talent that God can use, but God can use you just where you're at, and usually when mighty ways you never thought possible. All you need to do is be willing. UNTIL WEDNESDAY: HAVE A TRANQUIL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

John 14:2 New King James Version 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. THIS IS A PRECIOUS PROMISE THAT WILL BE A REALITY!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! Tell me something my friend. What makes you feel at home and why? I what makes me feel at home is knowing that I am loved and cherished by my loved ones. I don't know about any of you guys, but in light of what I am seeing on the news today, as well as social media, I am longing for the real home that I will have with Jesus Christ, and if you know Christ as your savior, I hope that you are too. I think this is why, I feel so burdened to share this vlog with all of you tonight, and i pray that it will encourage you to see that if you know Christ is savior, you have a heavenly home like no other, and that it will encourage you to look to the vertical, not the horizontal, and give you a desire to look forward to being at home with Christ forever. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about the real home that all who know Christ as savior have with 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 be used of God to give you that desire to look forward to being at home with Christ. How does knowing Jesus will take you to be with Him forever help you live here on earth? I pray that the knowledge of this, will give you a longing, a desire to want to live for Jesus while you were here on this earth. That you want to live a life and will live a life that honors god and everything that you say and do. Remember guys, that while you're here on this earth, that while you’re here on this earth, you have a heavenly family that loves you as well. That you have a community of brothers and sisters in Christ, God's church, that want you to know you're welcome there. Most of all, I pray that this will cause you to want to look forward to the day where you will see Jesus face to face, and that you will be at home with Him! https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/ UNTIL TUESDAY: HAVE A VERY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! You know guys, I think it's safe to say that we all deal with a lot of stress in our life. We all have unexpected things come up that cause us concern, fear, and it winds up really stressing us out. It could be something going on in our family, a health condition, finances, or anything that could cause us to be fearful, as well as stressed out. Sometimes we get so stressed out, it causes health conditions that we don't need, and we need to be reminded that we can seek and trust the one who does know all of our needs. I think that's why even though I’ve read this passage of scripture so many times before, really touched my heart this morning, and encouraged me to realize that I serve a risen savior who knows what I need before I even need it, and that makes me very grateful. I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will help you to see that you can trust the One who knows every need, care, concern, fear, and stress that you are facing, and will meet ALL of them. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to seek and trust the One who knows every need that you have, and will supply it! 😊 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 be used of God to help you with whatever situation you are facing, so that you can trust that God knows your need, and will need it. What anxieties weigh on your heart? What steps can you take to surrender your cares to God? I pray tonight, that whatever care, concern, fear, or stress that you are facing, that you will take them and lay them at the feet of the Savior, knowing that He not only knows what you need, but is meeting that need. Know that your needs are God's concern, that just as he takes care of the birds of the air, the flowers of the field, and every other form of life out there, that God is going to take care of you. All you need to do is trust, obey, and follow Him. UNTIL MONDAY EVERYONE: HAVE A SWEET AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
