Overcoming Being Shipwrecked

 


1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your cares on Him because He cares about you.    

All to often people find life catches them in a storm: Spiritual attack, emotional struggles, relationships that are cracking, financial floods or some kind of physical illness, like a hurricane, tornado or water spout up end the individuals life. It all becomes way too much.  Many say that 2020 is filled with such challenges, and I don't think it would be too difficult to prove what they are saying. As a matter of fact, it would be quite easy. We have had a whole lot happen this year. 

      Therefore, I have tried to encourage people: I want to do so now. You see, there is nothing that has happened to you in 2020, or any other time,  that God did not already know about. God told us there would be times like this. His prophecies are clear.  God knows you. God knows your name. God knows what you are going through, and if you cry out "Lord Help ME," And if you do it like Peter did, when he tried to walk on water, and then he sank, someone exponentially stronger than yourself will pull you up out of the bad sinking experience that you are going through. He has helped me more times than I can remember.  

The Problem of Bad Choices and Sin     

Sometimes, bad choices shipwreck a person's life. You know what I mean? Some people try to live independently of The Creator.   They don't need God. They don't need God's Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit simply does not matter to them. As a result, such people reap what they sow! And I can tell you that your biggest baddest choice would be to think you can overcome by yourself and that God does not matter.   Keep making bad choices, and you just as well be holding an anvil while you tread water in the storm! You need the Lord as much as I need the Lord!

However if you cast yourself, and those cares, on Him, If you turn to the Savior, and if you let God care for you,  He will care for you! Right now ... let go of what is giving you that sinking sensation or sense of being overwhelmed! Let go of any sin that is ensnaring you! Hold tightly to Jesus, the Son of God, who is one with God! Hold on tightly to the Cross of Christ! There is no greater life preserver! When everything else is going under, the Cross of Jesus is unsinkable.  Don't stay focused on the storms. Focus on the one who calms the storms! Whatever might sink you, let go of it, and let it sink! You have a Savior who is closer than your next breath! Let Him save you!  When you allow God to be in charge of your life, and the storms of life, you will find that your shipwreck challenges of life will become things of the past. Or they will be more manageable. So, "let go and let God" do what only God can do! You will be glad you did.

Be blessed today, 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.

   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!'
