IN GOD’S STRENGTH WE FIND OUR OWN
Hebrews 4:15 New King James Version
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
Where are you experiencing weakness today?
I don't know about any of you guys, but I have days where I really need God's strength to get through not just that day, but whatever I am experiencing. If I can be really honest right now, I need God’s strength, and the strength of my brothers and sisters in Christ right now, because I'm facing a lot of physical issues, as well as unexpected medical bills from this hospital stay, and I need God's strength to get me through it. I needed this passage of scripture, to help encourage me to realize that I can't do things in my own strength, but that in God's strength I do find my own.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me from His Word, especially through this morning's passage of scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to see that you can find God's strength in the midst of whatever you were facing today, and any day. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how you can in Christ, find your own strength through God's! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will help you to see that God is there for you and your struggles, and that in Him you have real strength.
How can you—in that exact weakness—gather God’s strength for your journey?
I pray tonight, my friends, that whatever you may be facing in life, ask God to help you remember that even in the midst of the thorns that we experience in this life God is bringing us the roses from them. That like a bird gathering its strength for the journey ahead, God is giving us the strength that we need to be able to face each and every day, and all the unexpected things that occur within it. Remember, my friends, that we can gather our strength in God, because whatever we are facing, when we face it in His strength, we truly do find our own!
UNTIL MONDAY:
HAVE AN ABUNDANTLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

GIVING “HARD WORDS” WITH GRACE AND LOVE
Galatians 6:1 New King James Version
6 Brethren, if a man is [a]overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
Ephesians 4:15 New King James Version
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! Boy, did Ricky and I ever have an amazing day today! For the first time in about five months, I got my haircut, which I badly needed, and I feel so much better. Then, we went to Shoprite again to get our Turkey, and we found a very nice plump 11-pound turkey for the 2 of us. I also got an extra thing of stuffing, because somebody who will be nameless, keeps eating the stuffing that he already made🤣. I also got some dinner for tonight which was fried chicken which ohh my word was so good! Right now, we're recovering from the chicken coma, just praising God for today, and I hope that your day went well too.
Answer me this my friends:
Why is it vital for us to confront others in love?
How do you receive hard but helpful words?
These questions really got to me guys, and I not only want to share them with you tonight, but I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will help you learn how to confront, and give those hard words with grace and love, but also to be able to accept them when they're given to you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to lovingly, humbly, and compassionately, confront sin! 😊
My prayer for all of you, as I close this post for tonight, is that you ask God every day to help you receive the GENUINE correction that He offers you, through fellow believers, in humility and gratitude. I pray that when you receive the hard words that someone offers you, that they are given with grace and love, and that you will accept those true words with grace. I also pray that both you and other fellow believers offer this correction according to Galatians 6:1-2, as well as Matthew 18:15-18, in a spirit of love, grace, gentleness, and humility, but above all, making sure that you have all the facts before you confront someone. Make sure that you examine your motives in how you confront them, so that you're not going on an “sin hunt” and that you are not trying to gaslight, pound, or manipulate them into your version of repentance. Again, I urge you before you go to someone to confront them, examine your heart, and make sure you have all the facts! That's not only how you can offer “hard words”, but offer them with love, compassion, humility, and grace.
UNTIL SUNDAY MY DEAR ONES:
HAVE A BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

ENJOYING THE “GREAT ADVENTURE”
Ephesians 1:4-6 New King James Version
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He [a]made us accepted in the Beloved.
AS GOD’S REDEEMED CHILD!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Every time I read this passage of scripture my friends, I learned something precious and new from it. As such, I'm really grateful for the time I get to spend in God's word, and today was no different. One thing that really got me about this passage, and with this morning's devotional, is how the Christian life, is like a journey. It's an adventure like no other, and we need to make the most of it. How it is the greatest adventure of all time, and when we choose to seek Christ Jesus comment not just now, but every day for our real life, that adventure will be an awesome one. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional have really been getting me to think, and challenging me right now, so I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them too.
How would you describe the life of knowing and walking with Jesus?
Who might God want you to share this with?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word, through this flag I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and i pray that what I share with you, will help you to see that being a follower of Jesus is a great adventure. Come join me in this blog tonight my friends, and learn how to experience that great adventure for yourself! 😊
So, everyone, I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to see that if you truly know Christ as savior, that your walk with Him is truly a great adventure. While that adventure is going to have twists and turns, bumps, bruises, trauma, and lots of scary moments, there will be lots of joyous moments too. That there will be mountain top experiences like no other, that will over shadow the valleys, but that in all of it, God will use everything that you experience for his honor and glory, to help you see the great adventure that you are getting to experience. I also pray that you will see that in this adventure, you ARE God’s redeemed child, and that this makes you REDEEMED ROYALTY! Don’t be afraid to share this precious truth with this lost and dying world, so they too can know this great adventure!

LET'S TELL THE WORLD 🌎 OF GOD'S GOODNESS!!!
Psalm 126:3 New King James Version
3 The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
I saw this question in this morning's devotional by Arthur Jackson, and I really wanted to ask this question, because I think it's important. “Have there been times in your life when God has particularly made Himself known to you? This got me to remembering all the ways in which God has been there for me, done so many great things for me, and the best part is He still continues to do these great things for me. As such, I can't help but fall on my knees and just praise Him for it! I think that's why when I saw these questions from this morning's devotional, I really wanted to share these questions with you tonight, and I pray that they not only encourage you to remember what God has done for you, but that you want to share God's goodness with others. Please read these questions very carefully, and allow God to speak to you through them.
How can you more readily share your experiences of God’s goodness with others?
How have you been inspired to trust Him more when you’ve heard others share His awesome deeds?
I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, opens your eyes to see all of the good things, that God has done for you, and that you will want to share what He’s done for you, with everyone around you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to tell the world what God has done for you! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to remember all the times in which that God has showed/made Himself to you. To remember the moments in which God has been there for you, providing miraculous rescue, preservation, and provision, and so much more, and not be afraid to share all of what God has done, is doing, and will continue to do in your life with others! As Arthur Jackson states so very well, “While there are God-experiences that we have in common with other believers in Jesus, there are also things unique to our individual journeys.” These things are truly well worth sharing guys, especially to others who need to hear how God has worked in our lives, and we need to not be afraid to share them. Who knows the impact, encouragement, and help that may bring to the person who hears it?

DON’T LET WORRY AND THINGS BE YOUR PRIORITY
Psalm 37:4 New King James Version
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
You know guys, this morning scripture really got me, because I've been distracted, and more focused on activity for activity sake, versus really spending time with God. I battle every day the way I was brought up in the IFB, about how many times a week I'm in church, and all the traditions of men that I was taught, that I didn't know what it really meant to serve God. I find myself sometimes like Martha, focused on things, and trying to prove my spirituality through how many things I'm doing in the church/for God, when none of that matters. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, are really challenging my heart, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge you through them.
What distractions keep you from receiving from Jesus?
I'd like to share some things that I learned from this passage out of God's Word, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will get your attention, so that you will see the importance of focusing on Jesus and not superficial activities. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to focus on Jesus, and not worry about the superficial around you. 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will help you see the importance of learning to focus on Jesus, and just being willing to take a break and sit at His feet.
How can you sit at His feet today?
I think it starts with just taking the time to drown out the distractions, blot out the interruptions, and put a stop to all interference what's going on in your life. Ask God to help you do that. Ask God to help you get rid of the distractions, interruptions, and interference that Satan is putting in your life, under the guise of spiritual service to Him, and just simply choose to sit at His feet and listen to that still small voice. Remember, my friends, that it's not about how much you're doing for Him, but WHAT you're doing for Him.”
SO, UNTIL THURSDAY EVERYONE:
HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN, FORGOTTEN, AND NEVER REMEMBERED
Hebrews 8:12 New King James Version
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
You know guys, I've done some really dumb things, and certain people have tried to hold those dumb things against me, but because I know Christ is my savior, and I have confessed those things before the Lord and repented of them, I can tell those people that bring that up in my face, that God's forgiven me of it, he doesn't remember it, and tell them to back off. I think that's why I'm really grateful for the questions from this morning's devotional today, because they're a reminder of the fact that God has forgiven me, has forgotten my sins, and that I shouldn't be afraid to live in that precious gift. I'd like to share these questions from this morning's devotional with all of you right now, and I pray that you will see that God offers the same gift to you. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will touch and encourage your heart through them.
How should God's forgiveness affect how you see your failures?
I'd like to share some things that I have learned not just from this morning's passage of scripture, but through other passages of scripture, through this blog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will help you see that If Christ has forgiven you of your sins, you don't need to cling to past shame. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself that Christ has forgiven and forgotten your sins, and will NEVER remember them! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to show God's grace to those who need it the most.
How can you show others grace?
Tonight, I’d like to reach out to every redeemed child of God out there that is struggling with ANY wounds of the past, any sins that have been confessed and repented of, to know that you ARE forgiven, and that God has FORGOTTEN them!! Please don't allow Satan, especially through others, to torture you needlessly, unbiblically, and senselessly, with any reminders of already confessed sin, but let them know that you are a redeemed child of God, and to back off! Don't be afraid to REJOICE and KNOW that you are a REDEEMED child of God and to live like it!!

GOD WILL ALWAYS HEAR, LISTEN TO, AND ANSWER OUR PRAYERS
Psalm 34:15 New King James Version
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
You know guys, I truly love king Hezekiah. He chose to come before God with everything he was facing, even a life-threatening illness, knowing that God would hear and answer his prayers. I think that's why I'm especially encouraged by the questions from this morning’s devotional, and I'd like to share them with all of you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will encourage and challenge your heart through them too.
What tops your list of concerns?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God is continuing to show me from His Word on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage, and motivate you to have the faith of Hezekiah in the midst of whatever concern, care, or trauma that you were facing right now. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the fact that God not only hears your prayers, but that He listens to and will answer them! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that you will not be afraid to go to the Lord and cast your cares on Him for whatever you are facing.
How can you give them to God, asking for His guidance and help?
My prayer for all of you tonight, is that whatever stressful situation, fear, concern, or care you are dealing with right now, that you will lay it at the feet of the savior. Trust in the one that you can cast all your cares on, because God not only listens to your prayers, but he also answers. He may not answer our prayers immediately, or with things like a card on a windowsill, but god assures us that when we are facing difficult situations, we don't face them alone. God not only sees us, but he’s also with us, listening to and answering our prayers always.
UNTIL TUESDAY MY FRIENDS:
HAVE AN ABUNDANTLY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO CLING TO JESUS?
Mark 5:27-28 New King James Version
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I really truly love this passage of scripture from this morning, because we see a woman with such faith, she's willing to face being ostracized, and a lot more, because the according to Leviticus 15:25-27, she's considered unclean because of the disease she has, and nobody is to be around her. I also see a person who felt ashamed for something that she couldn't control, and she was willing to venture out in faith and cling to Christ in her dire need. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional challenged my heart so much today, and I'd like to share them with you. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to your heart through them and let you know how much He truly loves you.
What’s caused you suffering and fear?
To what or whom have you turned for help and healing?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, concerning this woman, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with all of you, will help you to see that you are unconditionally loved by God, and you never have to feel ashamed or scared to come before Him in faith, with whatever you are facing. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to truly cling to Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will challenge you to cling to Jesus.
How can you cling to Jesus today?
My prayer for all of you, my friends, is that no matter what suffering and fear you are experiencing, no matter what trauma you are enduring, no matter what your story is my friends, don't be afraid to venture out in faith and cling to Christ in your hour of need. Know that God unconditionally loves you, and that love is everlasting! That God is willing and ready to welcome you and come to your aid, so that when you want to tell him your story, he will not only listen, but will accept you, and call you, His child.

HE’S ALMIGHTY GOD, NOT A GOOD LUCK CHARM!!!
Exodus 20:2-3 New King James Version

3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
Tell me something my friends.
How do you show evidence of your faith in God? Do you let your actions speak for themselves, or not?
I'd like to share some things that I've learned from this morning's passage of scripture, as well as from God's word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will help you to see the dangers of putting any object or even a symbol of faith, as the source of God's blessing in your life. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the valuable truth, that God is almighty God, not a good luck charm, and that nothing or no one is to come before or above Him! 😊
So, my friends, as I closed this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it really gets you to thinking about this issue, and what or who you choose to place your faith in.
When you're faced with a crisis, what or who do you focus on to help you? Do you focus on Jesus, or do you cling to some good luck charm religious crutch?
I really pray that you think about these questions, and that you choose to put your faith in God and God alone. That you don't try to place your trust in an inanimate object, a person, a translation of scripture, or a denomination. I pray especially that you realize that God is not some good luck charm that you can use to have wishes granted, but that He is almighty God, and nothing or no one comes before Him! Please don't make the mistake that Israel made, in which it cost them very dearly, but learn to realize that the true source of all your blessings, is God and God alone.

LOVING AND PRAYING FOR ALL OUR ENEMIES
Matthew 5:44 New King James Version
44 [a]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, this scripture really got me thinking deeply about what it means to love and pray for everyone, even those that we can't stand. To pray for those who treat us like garbage, abuse us, and yes even slander us, because in reality, God loves them too, and we need to be willing to show that love, through praying for them. This doesn't mean guys that we pray for them to die, or pray that some disaster falls on them, but we need to pray for them to have their hearts softened, so that if they don't know Christ, that they will. It also doesn't mean that we allow ourselves to be doormats, and let the people who have done damage to, and hurt us so severely back into our lives. In other words, guys, we're allowed to have boundaries. I think that's why the questions out of this morning's devotional are so convicting my heart right now, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them as He is mine.
Why is it important to pray even for the difficult people in your life?
What, or better yet, how can you pray for them?
I'd like to share some things that God has been showing me from his word on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will help you see the importance of lifting even your enemies up in prayer. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how you can have a heart of grace and compassion to pray for others, even your enemies! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask you this question, and I pray that you not only deeply think about it but will act on it.
Who is it in your life, that is causing you the most difficulty, that you can pray for?
Ask God to help you see these people through His eyes. To see them as a person that needs to be forgiven and loved, and ultimately be able to forgive them. Don't let your hatred of that person consume you, but give that hatred to God, and watch how that hatred can be turned into love, even when you have to express and put up those biblical boundaries. As I stated before, this doesn't mean that you allow the very people that have hurt you to come back into your life, but that you pray for them by asking God to redeem their hearts, while keeping up healthy biblical boundaries for yourself.

WE ARE VICTORIOUS OVERCOMERS IN CHRIST JESUS
1 Corinthians 15:57 New King James Version
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, I've been blessed to read this morning's passage of scripture before, and every time I do read it, it is a clear reminder of the fact that as it was said in this passage of scripture, that the battle is not ours, but it belongs to God, and that we need to be willing to step out and lift up our hands to Him in faith, for whatever it is that we are going through. That we can and must cling to God in faith, when we are in the middle of a war zone in life, trusting that God is faithful, consistent, and will never abandon us. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, really got me to thinking about the importance of the fact that we can praise God in the midst of our trials and know that in the end we are victorious in Him. It's why I'd like to share these questions with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you in these questions, will encourage you to see that you can praise God, and trust Him in any and every situation.
How can you praise God right where you are today?
How can you press into the victory that Jesus has won for you?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to see that God is the one who brings you the ultimate victory. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn the wonderful precious truth that you are a precious, victorious overcomer, in Christ Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think about the questions from this morning's devotional and ask yourself how you can praise God right where you are at today. To ask God how you can praise Him where you're at, lean into him, press into the victory, that Jesus has already won for you, and claim these precious promises that are for you today! Remember, my friends, that as Karen Pimpo states, “Victory doesn't always come when and how we want it to. But we can always proclaim Jesus ultimate victory over sin and death that's already been won for us.” We do that through claiming the precious promises in God's word, turning to God for any and every situation that we face, knowing that God is stronger than our enemies, and that we can choose to lift up our hands and praise to Him! Let's do that today.

KNOWING, LISTENING TO, AND FOLLOWING THE VOICE OF THE TRUE SHEPHERD
John 10:27 New King James Version
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, as I was reading this morning's passage of scripture, God directed my eyes and my heart to what Jesus was saying to these religious leaders, as he talked about the fact that his true sheep know his voice. That as John 10:3 three states so very well, “He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out”, but then verse four says something very precious, and that the reason they are let out so successfully, is that they know the shepherd's voice, and trust that voice. They follow the shepherd wherever He goes, because they trust Him! I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional were so challenging to me today, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to your heart through them.
How do you think you’ve complicated hearing God’s voice?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things God showed me from his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage you to think about the importance of listening to and following the true shepherd's voice. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about this VERY precious truth for yourself! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to listen to the voice of the true Shepherd really truly and no one else's.
What’s the Shepherd saying to you today?
I pray tonight, my friends, that you will ask God to help you pay attention to what He’s trying to tell you, and don't allow yourself to make hearing God's voice more complicated, through either trying to add your voice to it, or the voice of another. Especially the voice of the false prophet! I challenge you every day, to ask God for wisdom and discernment as to the voices you listen to, and that you choose His voice over everyone else’s. Let me make it very clear, that there are a lot of people out there, who claim to be speaking for God, and many of them actually have the nerve to say that they are God, so please beware of them! Just know that there are a lot of good shepherds out there who are truly representing Christ, so please seek after what Christ wants you to seek after, and no one else!

THE ONE WHO DESTROYED SIN AND REDEEMED US
1 John 3:8 New King James Version
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
You know guys, every time I read this passage of scripture, I have to admit I feel a little sad. I feel sad over the fact that this is the moment where all of humanity became bad, and that the world needed a savior. I feel just the same way that James banks, this morning's devotional writer’s wife Cari felt overseeing the destruction caused by a snake over having eaten baby wrens. I'm sure it must be the same kind of feeling that God felt, the moment both Adam and Eve ate from the tree that they shouldn't have eaten from, and the repercussions that came from it. But then I think about what Jesus has done for us, and I can't help but rejoice over the redemption that I have in Him! I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional are really cheering my heart, and I’d like to share them with you guys today. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will encourage your heart through them too.
How has Jesus destroyed the devil's work in your heart and life?
What I'd like to do right now, my friends, is share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to see through the devil's deceptions, and rejoice in the fact that if you know Christ as savior, you are God's redeemed child, but also that He will help you to see through the devil's deceptions, and help you truly live for Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself about the one who destroyed destruction, to redeem us all! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to realize that if you know Christ as savior, you're on the winning side.
What do you look forward to in Him?
Are you thankful that Jesus has destroyed the devil's work in your heart in life? Are you grateful for the fact that He has set you free from sin? Do you look forward to the day in which Jesus will rule and reign on this earth, and as Revelation 21:5 states that everything will be made new? Do you rest in the knowledge that you have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb? If you don't know how to answer these questions and want to know for certain that you're on the winning side, I invite you all today to accept Christ as savior, and experience the One who has redeemed you, and let Him in your heart today. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/

HAVE A BLESSED AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

JUST BE FAITHFUL AND PERSISTENT
2 Thessalonians 3:13 New King James Version
13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
BECAUSE THERE IS A HARVEST TO BE REAPED!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA, GANG!!!
I was truly thinking about the questions from this morning's devotional, (Still am.), and something about these questions really stirred my heart, and I'd like to share these questions with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart as He is challenging mine.
How does your persistence glorify God?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this morning scripture through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you as well as give you the motivation you need to be both consistent as well as persistent, in your faith. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn what it means to show not only consistent, but persistent faith every day! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it both challenges and motivates you to find ways to being showing godly as well as faithful persistence, in everything that you say and do.
In your life, what deserves more godly persistence and loving charity from you?
I pray that you ask yourself what it means to not give up in your walk with Christ, and ask God to help you to stay faithful, and persistent in your walk with Him. If there's an area in your walk with Christ, or maybe in what you were doing for Him, that you're struggling with, and you feel like you do want to give up, ask God to give you renewed perspective as well as strength in whatever calling that God has given you, so when you do feel like you want to give up, ask Him to inspire you to endure more in Him. Don't let Satan cause you to become weary, but ask God to renew you emotionally, physically, and spiritually, for whatever task that you’re undertaking. Remember, my friends, that whatever you do, it's to be for God, and no one else, so just do what you do as unto the Lord, and watch the blessings come.
UNTIL TUESDAY EVERYONE:
HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

PREDESTINED TO BE ADOPTED AND LOVED BY GOD
Ephesians 1:5 New King James Version
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
Tell me something my friends.
What does it mean to you that you’ve been chosen to be God’s child?
For me, it means that I am loved and valued by God. That he cherishes me, treats me with dignity, honor, and respect. Bottom line for me to know that I am God's redeemed child means everything to me, and I praise God for it.
I'd like to share some things, that God showed me from His Word not just this morning, but in other instances, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to know, that if you know Christ as your savior, you have been adopted into God's family, and that you are God's redeemed child. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn what it means to be unconditionally loved, valued, and cherished by your Heavenly Father! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask you this final question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to share the good news of Jesus Christ, but also the wonderful precious reality of being adopted into God's family with others too.
Who can you show love to as a mentor?
My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you see yourself as God's redeemed child, and never let that thought leave your mind. That you are truly loved valued, accepted, and cherished by God no matter what anybody else tries to tell you. I especially pray for those who have had a negative image of what God is supposed to be to them, because they had a father who was not a positive/godly influence on them. I pray that they will see God as the heavenly father who loves them passionately, endlessly, unconditionally, and as Someone who is more than proud to call you, His child!

HAVE A RESTFUL, SWEET, AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

MY WONDERFUL RESCUER
Psalm 18:19 New King James Version
19 He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!
I have to say guys, that I found this Psalm very precious to me, because I have had moments in my own life, where I felt like I was in a metaphorical pit. Where I was in dire straits, because of a situation that was either traumatic, scary, or just plain overwhelming in my life, but God was there for me and rescued me from it. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, really got me to thinking about those moments in which God had rescued me from so many different situations, and I'd like to share those questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will encourage you through them too.
When has God delivered you from the “muddy marsh”?
How do His past rescues encourage you to trust in Him?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I learned from not just this passage of scripture, but from many others out of God's Word, that show God to be our deliverer and rescuer, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you helps you to see that God is your rescuer, deliver or, and save your too. Come join me in this vlog tonight, and learn more about the wonderful rescuer, who will never, ever let you down! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post for tonight, I pray first of all that whatever situation you are going through right now, whatever challenge, a hardship, traumatic situation, or yes scary moment that you are experiencing, that you'll remember this simple truth. That God Is your rescuer, who will never, ever let you down, and that you can cling to Him in anytime of trouble. Above all, remember the fact that as Eliza Morgan stated so very well, “From His very own “whispering gallery” in the dome of the heavens above the earth, God bends to our deepest murmurs, even our whispers . . . and listens.” Most of all, know that God not only listens, but that He is there, ready, and willing to help you in your time of need, and give you that firm place to stand.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND PEACEFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

TIME WARP BIBLE STUDY: JONAH CHAPTER 3
Ephesians 4:22-24 New King James Version
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
HELLO EVERYONE!!! Welcome to chapter three of our study on the book of Jonah, and this chapter is gonna be very interesting. We're going to learn about a repentant (not totally) prophet, who while he obeys the Lord's command to go preach to Nineveh, he's not entirely obedient about it. However, through this moment, God works a mighty power, a mighty spiritual awakening within Ninevah, that even Jonah can't stop. Come and join me in this blog my friends and learn the truth that God can and will save anyone! 😊

REFLECTING AND SHINING BLAMELESSLY FOR JESUS
Philippians 2:15 New King James Version
15 that you may become blameless and [a]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
Reading this morning's passage of scripture, got me to thinking about what it really means to be a reflection of my savior, and I had some things I wanted to share tonight with all of you. I'd like to share some things god showed me through his word, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages, challenges, and motivates you to want to be reflecting, shining, and glowing blamelessly for Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to reflect and shine blamelessly for Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will encourage you to want to reflect and shine brightly and blamelessly for Jesus.
When have you noticed the light of Jesus shining through another person?
How has someone else’s good deeds prompted you to praise God?
I truly pray that whoever has been that godly influence to you, whoever has shined the light of Jesus through their actions to you, that it impacts you to want to know Christ more. I especially pray that if there are any of you out there, who know Christ is savior, but you're hiding your faith, stop it! Don't let fear, public opinion, or wanting to “go along to get along” get in the way of you being the representative for Christ that you want to be. Choose to be salt and light for God every day. To be the unusual flavor and scent in the midst of a world full of decay and dullness. In short, dare to be different, and uncommon for God, so that Christ Jesus is seen in you always! Don't be afraid to “leave your light on” for Christ because the more Christ Jesus shines through you, the more others will see Christ in you, and will want to know Him as their savior too.

WHAT OR WHO DO YOU WORSHIP???
John 4:24 New King James Version
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
As I was reading this passage of scripture, I was thinking about the fact that we are living in a society, where just as it was in Paul's day, we are bowing down to idols. I know you're probably gonna say what in the world you're talking about Wendy, but we are. We may not be worshipping false gods like Zeus and Apollo, but as novelist David Foster Wallace stated so very well, “Everybody worships,” he goes on to give a very important warning in this, when he says, “if you worship money and things... then you will never have enough.... Worship your body and beauty... And you will always feel ugly.... Worship your intellect... [and] you will end up feeling stupid.” Sheridan's Voysey was absolutely correct, when he said that “our secular age has its own gods, and they're not benign.”
I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional are really stirring my heart right now, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and ask God to speak to you through them.
What other “gods” do you see society worshiping today?
What do you rely on to give you purpose and security?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will get you to thinking about what you put as most important in your life. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about the true God who was ready to be found, and deserves your worship! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask you again as to what or who you were lying on to give you purpose and security. Is it money, power, social status, and prestige? Is it the woke philosophies of this world, the lies of CRT, gender bending insanity, and the belief that you can be whatever gender you want, marry whichever gender you want, that there is no God, and you can do whatever you want without any thought for the consequences? I urge you today, to turn to the one true God, the one who has existed since before time began, and wants to redeem you. Choose to set Christ Jesus on the throne of your heart, and don't allow the idols to rule you.

IT’S SO WORTH THE COST TO FOLLOW JESUS
Matthew 16:24-25 New King James Version
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
You know, as I read this passage of scripture, I continually see the point that Jesus is making, and that there is a cost to following Him. It's a high one, because we're going to lose popularity, money, fame, family, and in some cases our lives, but the cost to not following Jesus, is so much more dangerous than in following Him. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional were so extremely challenging to my heart tonight, and I'd like to share them with you. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that god will challenge you through them as well.
What’s your story of the moment Jesus became real to you?
What has it cost you to follow Him?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word when it comes to the true cost that comes from following Jesus, through this blog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will resonate in your heart, and motivate you to want to serve God. That you will want to give your complete and total devotion to him. Most of all, that you will see that god is so well worth following. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn the truth that it is so well worth the cost to follow Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I wanna ask this question that was also in this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to choose Jesus.
What might you need to give up to follow Jesus as He guides you?
Is there something that you need to give up in order to truly be devoted to God? Is there someone, that is interfering with your total devotion to Jesus Christ? If so, turn that over to the lord forsake it, and make it your point to truly follow Him today! Think about what it would truly cost for you to follow Jesus, and compare it to the complete gain that would come from submitting your heart, and truly choosing to take up your cross and follow Him. Just now, that to follow Jesus, may not seem like it's worth it to the world, but it is truly worth it to the one who chooses to follow Him. Make the right choice!

SHOWING GODLY CHARACTER EVERYWHERE
Psalm 145:8 New King James Version
8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
EVEN ONLINE. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!!
As I was reading not just this morning scripture, but also meditating on what Sheridan was saying in this morning's devotional, God brought some things to my mind about how important it is to come to Him for wisdom in our speech as well as our actions. I feel I need this especially when I'm online, and I see some of the comments that individuals make, especially when they make them towards me, because I have a very big tendency to respond with my temper, and that can lead to some problems. I need to ask God to help me follow a Proverbs 15:1 states. I need to remember that I'm not God, but I need to represent Him through my actions as well as my words, whether it's talking to someone in person, or online.
That's why, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will challenge you in how you deal with others, especially online. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to imitate God, and allow His Holy Spirit to empower you to show compassion and mercy to others, whether it's online or in person! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they'll challenge you to imitate God's character in your life, in everything that you say and do.
How can you show more compassion to others?
What characteristic of God do you most need to imitate when online?
I pray tonight, that you will ask God to show you ways where you can imitate His character to others, especially those that treat you harshly. Ask God especially to help you think before you type, post, or say anything online out of harshness, that would dishonor Him. Choose to let God guard your mouth, and watch the door of your lips every day, but also choose to let him control your fingers as you type online. Most of all guys, I've said this before and I'll say it again, as the old saying goes, “If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!”

My shield and the [b]horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
Allow me to ask these questions from this morning's devotional, my friends, and I pray that God will Both challenge and encourage you through them.
Recall a tough situation when God showed you His love and faithfulness.
What else did you learn about His character?

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you'll think about these questions from this morning's devotional, and that when you get the chance, sit down, and write down all the ways that God has showed you His love and faithfulness. Just take some time to write all of it down, ask yourself also, all the things you've learned about God's character, and just take time to thank Him for what He's done for you. If you are experiencing any kind of difficult time, hardship, or struggle, don't be afraid to lay them at the savior's feet, and ask God to help you trust Him. Ask God to show you how these difficult times can draw you closer to Him, and no that your faithful, dependable, and trustworthy God, will always take care of you!

THE KING NOBODY WOULD MISS
2 Chronicles 21:20 New King James Version
20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I wanna do something a bit different with this post tonight, from what I normally do, because this morning scripture really got to me. This was the story of a king that was so perverse and evil, that when he died nobody mourned him or missed him! That's how despicable he was! It got me to thinking about these questions from this morning's devotional, on what it is to be a true leader, and I’d like to share these questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them.
Who are you responsible to lead?
How might you show both grace and truth to them?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this morning's passage of scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will really get you to thinking about what type of a leader you are. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about the king that nobody would miss! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I wanna ask you this question and I pray that God will challenge your heart through it. What type of leader are you? Are you someone that leads by a godly example, where you are not only living the truth, but showing grace to others? Or are you like Jehoram, an evil, perverse, and disgusting king, whose sin was so great, that when he died nobody would remember him? How do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be remembered as someone who stood for the Lord and what was right, or do you want to have the legacy of nobody's even missing me when you're gone? I encourage you tonight, to think about these things, and ask yourself are you aiming to lead others by following Jesus? I pray that you are choosing to follow Christ, and letting others see Christ Jesus in you, so that they will want to follow your lead. Please lead very carefully, so that you have a lasting godly legacy!
UNTIL SATURDAY:
HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
