Never Alone

I Will Pray To The Father
And HE Will Give You Another Comforter.
He Will Abide With You Forever.
Jesus

     Sometimes, people feel alone or are  lonely even when in a crowd.  It could be because it is just their way of living through the journey.  It could be that it's "how they roll." They may have grown up in less than a functional family or situation.  So the survivor in them taught them to isolate. Which is not the same as to practice solitude; yet all to often loneliness can surprise you.  It can sneak up on you.  You can have loved ones all around, and you might even be in a crowd, but a darkness can envelop you.  

     Jesus gives you hope in situations like this.  Practicing being lonely for survival or being lonely by surprise, usually results in us focusing on the darkness, the feeling bad and we then might just put ourselves down for feeling as such.  Keep in mind, if this happens, that feelings ARE NOT reality, but they are symptoms of our thoughts (or maybe other things.) If I do what is called "stinking thinking," I will do  "stinking feelings."  For feelings tend to follow our thoughts. Noble thoughts, as Paul would call them, tend to change our feelings in a more positive way; therefore Jesus hope, in this,  is found in the promise.

    So try out a spiritual practice:  Think about this promise that Jesus gives us in this blog.  It's a promise that he prayed for us.  In another place He is "ever intercedes for us."  That is, in Heaven he is still praying for us.  He prayed for the Holy Spirit to come, and the Holy Spirit eventually came.  Now the Holy Spirit is here to abide with you today and forever.  So practice being still.  Practice asking Jesus to pray for you, especially about your loneliness.  Pray to the Holy Spirit to be near you and comfort you.

    I know that just today, I have allowed myself to become discombobulated.  I allowed myself to let my mind stay so busy that I am missing the quiet.  So pray with me today.  Ask Jesus to pray for you and me.  Ask the Holy Spirit to do the same, and then spend some time abiding with the Lord.  Then you will be ...

Blessed 2day
Especially Today.

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.

Image
   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!'
