Don't

Don't Be Afraid
For
I AM With You.
God

Being afraid can really take charge of our lives.  Being anxious can cause us to keep our minds running and rob us of our peace.  Focusing on all the stuff that needs to be done or all the things going on in our lives really can keep our minds spinning.  Sometimes it can be downright overwhelming.  

Sadly, all too many people think, "I am the only one going through this," which is not true.  Or they may think, "What is wrong with me?" To which I answer,  "Not a lot is wrong" because, as a Christ Follower, God really is in control.  You only need to focus on God being in charge of you and all that is going on in your life.  God really will take care of you through Christ our Lord and His blessed Holy Spirit. 

Here is something to try that helps:  Sit still for ten minutes. Get comfortable.  Perhaps put a spiritual symbol, like a Cross, in front of you. Inhale the breath of life that God has given you, and do so slowly holding His breath for 3 or 4 seconds.  Then release it slowly.  As you release it, simply repeat, with each exhale, the first few words of Isaiah 41:10 by saying:

"Be Still...
Be not afraid ...
God Is right here with me."

Keep practicing this slow deliberate breathing in and out God's breath of life and saying these words repeatedly.  If your mind wanders, bring it back to your abiding in God and continue this spiritual practice, again until your ten minutes are up. (It's best to set a timer rather than to keep looking at your watch.) Let go of any thoughts like, "this is stupid" or "you don't have time for this" or any other similar thoughts which are not from God.  Just love yourself back into being with God and continue practicing God's presence.

If you want to modify this by taking mini - spiritual vacations (of practising God's presence) throughout the day,  do this spiritual practice while on break.  If you don't have ten minutes, practice this for five minutes. 

Remember what Jesus said, "If you abide in me, and I abide in you, you will bear much fruit."

Now go on out and 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!'
