Advent: Want Some P.E.A.C.E??? Well Do Ya?

"My peace I leave with you.  My peace I give to you, and it's not the kind of peace the world gives.  So, don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  Jesus
Is there really such a thing?  Can someone leave you or  me peace simply as a gift?  Is there really a peace that you and I can receive or develop that will give us the ability to overcome our troubles and keep our hearts from being "afraid?"  If there is such a thing "I wan't some of dat."  Sorry Carman :oI
All I can tell you is what I have found that works for me:  Guess what?  Here comes the acrostic "Kid" all over again {:0)>


Properly
Expecting that ...
Accepting
Christ
Ends in Eternal living


"Eternal Living?"  What's that?  When the Bible teaches us John 3:16, it tells us we receive "Eternal Life."  From the Greek language, this quite literally is translated "To share in the very life of God."  In other words we have peace (right now) because we daily journey on down the road with God, follow God's way and hold tight to God's promises.  What Promises?


I am talking about promises like the one Jesus gives at the start of this web log:  Check out John 14:1-6 and the following verses to get the full digital 3-D Blu Ray impact of what Jesus is promising.  


Or Check out the spiritual perscription the Apostle Paul gives for coping with anxiety in Phillipians 4:6-8.  A careful, prayerful, reflective view of this promise will give you tools for "surrounding your heart" with peace.  Read the next couple of verses and you will get the GOOD NEWS of having the GOD of Peace living daily in your thoughts and mind. Just be sure you stop the "stinkin thinkin" and replace the thoughts with the type thoughts precribed in these verses.


Try living one day at a time or one moment at a time, as Jesus guides us in the "Sermon on the Mount, (6th Chapter, I think), and see what it does to your emotional well being.


YUP!  You CAN properly expect that accepting Jesus ends in eternal living.


Now go on out and


Be Blessed 2-day ... Especially 2-day !!!
The Past Is The Past.  The Future Is The Future
Today is God's Gift 2 U Called "The Present!"

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
