When I Am Afraid

 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 
Psalm 56:3

They had chased him, and were in hot pursuit! Then, they actually seized him! What was he to do? Well, one thing he did was initially be afraid! Read Psalm 56, and you will see this was no laughing matter. He certainly in a fear provoking situation! After all, it was a life threatening experience! But David overcame! He overcame just as we can overcome, as Christ Follower's, today. We can stop being afraid by not placing our trust in our mere abilities or lack thereof. We can trust in God. We can listen to Jesus speak, and we can hear Him give us His loving command, "Fear Not For I Am With You! (Why not try just listening to these 7 words of Jesus when we are afraid?) 

There is no question that David was afraid, but again, take a look at this Psalm 56 carefully and prayerfully: Once he came to himself,  David focused his thoughts on something. Or I should say that he focused his thoughts on Some ONE exponentially greater than himself! He praised God! He thanked God! He prayed to God! Even while in the challenges of being chased, captured, imprisoned and being treated fearlessly,  he used his prayer power that connected him with The Almighty Powerful power of  God! This brought him peace. Under the new Covenant for which Jesus bought and paid, when He sacrificed His body and His blood, we have even greater help because we now have the connection with He who is "The Prince of Peace."

Here is a challenge for each of us. Let us follow David's example just in case we ever get afraid. Whenever we are afraid, let us trust in God. If we do, we will be glad we did.

God Bless You,

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!'
