Shepherd's Promise #11 The Promise of Being Followed.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the day's of my life.
 
 
When I looked at how the Hebrew of this Shepherd promise is written, I had difficulty giving the #11 a title; for example, the Hebrew for the word "Surely"  literally can be translated. "There is no doubt."  Keep in mind this man has had enough stuff in his life that has threatened his life; yet, once again he comes out with a determined expectancy. "There is not doubt that good things, and God's mercy will be tagging along behind me, when I need it."  So I wanted to call it the "NO Doubt Promise."
 
 
Then I listen to the Hebraic view, when it talks about "goodness and mercy."  Here a number of words can replace these two.  Other potential candidate words that could also be used are: "kindness, benevolence, love, favor, faithfulness..." and the list goes on.. "Will follow me all the days of my life." So I wanted to call it "Present Life's Gifts" promise.  Words/experiences of wonder are things about which this writer has no doubt they will accompany him through this side of eternity.
 
 
But the fact of the matter is that, however you look at this beautiful Shepherd's promise, there is NO doubt that the Good Shepherd is going to make sure that the peep sheep is going to be okay, no matter how things turn out in this life.  He is not alone.
 
 
So, if you like, why not pick whatever name you want for #11.  Just be sure you make it your statement of faith.  Let God give you the grace to have NO doubt about it.
 
 
Then you will
Be Blessed 2day
Especially 2day

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

  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!'
