IT’S NOT ABOUT COMPETITION, COMPARISION, OR DENOMINATIONS
Luke 9:49-50 New King James Version
49 Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against [a]us is on [b]our side.”
IT'S ABOUT SERVING CHRIST!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
Something about this morning scripture, reminded me of these verses above, because I've seen far too many moments where ministries are ridiculed, defamed, and even made to feel unwelcome by churches because they don't carry either the word Baptist, Church of God, or some other denomination in it, and that really disturbs me. In particular, I learned of within the last year about a ministry that teaches creationism, and how they were treated very nastily by individuals within the Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, because of not only their denomination, but also the person who was teaching it had “long hair”. How idiotic can one get! I think that's why the questions from this morning’s devotional were so challenging and convicting to my heart, and I want to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and see how important it is to realize, that we're serving the same Jesus.
How have you teamed up with others to serve God?
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 help you realize, that we all serve the same savior, so we need to learn to work together in sharing the gospel with others. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn that it's not about denominations, competition, or any other superficial thing, but that we are all called to serve the same savior, and let's do it together! 😊
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 want to work together with every genuine believer in Christ that you encounter, and not put them aside, because they’re a different denomination, or anything else different from you.
Who can you support as they serve Him with their unique gifts?
My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you learn to put aside your personal preferences, prejudices biases, and any other superficial thing that you have against other Christians who are “different” from you, and that you learn to work together with them! Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be a Kingdom-minded leader committed to working together with other believers, no matter their denomination, or anything else about them, and be willing to work together with them, to reach more people with the life-saving message of the gospel, because that's what matters the most!
UNTIL MONDAY MY FRIENDS:
HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

MY THOUGHTS ON RUTH CHAPTER 4
Hey gang! How's everybody doing today?
There's so much awesome info that God showed me from his word on this chapter, that I'm make just absolutely amazed. I'm especially amazed at how God uses a young Moabite woman like Ruth, as well as a godly man like Boaz, who happens to be born from a prostitute, who became a believer in God herself, to be part of God's redemptive plan. In this particular chapter we're going to see just what entails with the kinsman Redeemer, and how God brings all of His plans into play in this moment. 😊

WHO’S GOING TO TELL THEM???
Romans 10:14-15 New King James Version
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who [a]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
WILL YOU??? GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
There's something very significant about Acts chapter 16, not just because we see a demon possessed slave girl come to know Christ, or a Philippian jailer get saved, but we see the beginnings of the gospel being shared to places never thought possible back then. We see in this moment, the start of the gospel going into Greece in Turkey and other areas of the Roman Empire, do the start of the vision a vision that Paul had of a man from Macedonia saying, “Come over and help us!” It got me to thinking, on how I can share my own faith, and how I can allow God to use me despite my physical infirmities, to share the good news of Jesus Christ, and 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 not only challenge you, but will enable, encourage and embolden you to be God's agent of the good news of Jesus Christ, and how He can set anyone free from sin. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to answer the call in sharing your faith right where you're at! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask these questions from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that they get you to thinking about this important issue.
Where is God calling you to share your faith?
How might he empower you to do this today?
As I stated earlier today, I believe that the moment we set foot out the door of our homes, apartments, dorm rooms, or any place else that we live, we're out on the mission field, and we want to make the most of that mission field. Not all of us are called to go overseas to share the gospel but we can support those who are over there, through our prayers and finances. Best of all guys, we can share the gospel with someone whether it's across the room, the street, or the community. We can and must be willing to share the good news of Jesus Christ with this lost and dying world. We don't have to give any eloquent speeches, but just ask God to give us His words to speak and allow Him to work through us. Let's ask God today and every day to enable us to crossover, to be willing to share with others the greatest help of all and that is the opportunity for forgiveness in Jesus' name!
UNTIL SUNDAY DEAR FRIENDS:

WHAT LEGACY WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND???
Matthew 6:19-21 New King James Version
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I asked this question many years ago, and I still ask it now, and that is, what is your legacy? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? Will people know you in a positive manner, or will they know you like apparently they did with John Milburn Davis? Are we building our treasure, our lives on things that last for Christ, or are we building it on corrupt ground, and things that will fade away. Tim Gustafson, this morning's devotional writer, was so correct when he said, “What lasts isn’t what we chisel in stone or hoard for ourselves. It’s what we give out of love for each other and for Him—the One who shows us how to love.”
I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional are so especially challenging and stirring up 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 speak to your heart through them as He is mine.
What will others remember about 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 convicts, challenges, and motivates you to want to leave a lasting godly legacy of your life to others, so that that legacy will be carried on through them. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and see just what I mean! 😊
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 want to leave that godly legacy.
What changes might you need to make as you ponder your eternal legacy?
I pray tonight, that you are leaving a legacy, a monument of spirituality, to others that is genuinely based on following Jesus, not money, power, or fame. That you leave a legacy that causes others to want to follow Jesus too. Choose to live a life where you are making goals and achievements that are building up heavenly investments, and that you're not getting yourself caught up in the world's definition of success. Choose to leave behind a legacy that has Christ Jesus first place in it, because that's the treasure that counts the most!

SEEK THE TRUE AND LASTING SATISFACTION THAT COMES ONLY FROM GOD
Psalm 107:8-9 New King James Version
8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!
There's something about the story of Jacob and Esau that really fascinates me. It fascinates me on many levels, because it shows the dangers of favoritism, in particular when parents favor one child over another, and that is definitely the case with these two. But also, as this morning's devotional helps explain, you also see how somebody gave in to their physical appetite, and willingly sold something precious to them for it.
I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional were so particularly thought provoking to me, and I wanted to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully and see just what I mean when it comes to the dangers of trying to seek satisfaction in anything other than God.
When have you allowed temptation to cost you a great deal?
Why can only God satisfy your deepest longings?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things about Jacob and Esau, 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 just how important it is to keep your eyes on Jesus, allow Him to satisfy your deepest longings add needs, and to help you remember the spiritual birthright you have in Him before you sin. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the important truth that satisfaction comes only through Jesus Christ! 😊
So, my dear friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to be careful of the temptations, the strong lures that Satan has out there that he will try to put out there for you, and to avoid them. It starts with asking God every day to give you wisdom to do what is right, even when it's the hardest to do so. It's asking God to help you resist the devil and his temptations, yes even to help you run from them, because you don't want to let your appetite, lust, or desire to cause you to make a costly mistake in sin. Remember it's only Jesus that satisfies my friends, so choose to seek the satisfaction that comes only from Him, and that when temptation comes, don't be afraid to resist and run!

GOD HEARS OUR CRIES!!!
Psalm 107:6 New King James Version
6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!!
I've read this Psalm quite a few times my friends, and every time I do read it, I am so reminded of the fact that I can cry out to God when I'm going through something stressful, scary, or yes frightening, and know that God hears me. I was especially challenged not just through what I've read in this morning’s scripture, but also through the questions from this morning's devotional, in particular I was really encouraged, by the promises that God gives throughout scripture that He will not only hear our cries, but that He beyond delivers us from whatever we are going through. I'd like to share these questions from this morning's devotional, because they really encouraged me in this area, and I believe that they will do the same for you too. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge and encourage your hearts through them.
How has God shown Himself faithful when you’re in distress?
How have you recognized His presence during difficult times?
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 encourages you to see that you can trust in the faithful God, who will hear your cries, deliver you, and put you in that broad/safe place that you need to be in. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about the God who hears your cries of distress and will never let you down! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I really pray that you'll think about these questions, and I pray that if you're going through the suffocating fears from a challenging medical diagnosis, maybe the loss of a job, a toxic family member who tells you they've never loved you, uncertainty about the future, or any type of stressful, or traumatic situation, that you will know right now, that you can cry out to almighty God, He WILL not only hear you, but will answer you, and deliver you and be there for you in ways that you could never ever imagine. It may not be a dramatic rescue, where it may not be instantaneous relief from your situation, but God will be there for you by your side, and you will never need to fear anything that Satan may put against you. God knows your situation and will never abandon you at all! Rest in that knowledge, and don't be afraid to cry out to Him!

THE QUEEN 👑 WHO OBEYED GOD, BY STANDING UP FOR HER PEOPLE
Acts 5:29 New King James Version
29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
I know I've said this quite a few times, but I have to still say it again, and that is the book of Esther is one of my favorite books of the Bible, because it showcases a very brave woman, who stood up for her people, and how God rewarded her for it. Every time I read this passage of scripture I think about not just Esther, but there are so many other people out there like Mary McDowell who was mentioned in this morning's devotional, the late Martin Luther King Jr., Corrie TenBoom, and so many other genuine godly people who stood up for what was right, even when it cost them everyone and everything they held dear.
I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, are so challenging to my heart, and have me thinking about how I am using what God has given me to help others who are facing evil. Asking God to show me how I can be used of him to stand up for what's right, even when it's not popular. This is why I'm encouraging you to check these questions out tonight and learn this truth for yourself.
How are you using what you possess to help others?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God put on my heart about this matter, 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 stand up for what is right. That you will seek God for courage and wisdom to not only do what is right, but to stand up for what is right for others who are being legitimately abused, oppressed, and discriminated against. Come join me in this blog tonight and learn for yourself what it means to have true courage in Christ 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 not only encourage, but motivate you to do what is right, and standing up for others, because that's what Christ commands.
What role can you play in providing for those who may not live near you?
I challenge you all tonight, to look around you, see for yourself the needs of others, especially those who are being legitimately oppressed and discriminated against, and ask God to give you courage and wisdom to help them. I pray that you have the courage of Esther to stand up for those who are being used, abused, and marginalized, especially those who may be victims of church/spiritual abuse. Remember that you don't need to take on massive causes like Mary McDowell, or queen Esther, but all you need to do is be willing. Be willing to allow God to use you and use what god has provided you to help them. Stand up in Christ for all!

NEVER FORGET YOUR CREATOR!!!
Ecclesiastes 12:1 New King James Version
12 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the [a]difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,
“I have no pleasure in them”:
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
OMHW! What an intense, but awesome day that Ricky and I had today. We went to Bala Cynwyd today, to do a survey on medical devices, in particular an injectable device for people who suffer from chronic illnesses, like diabetes for example, and for an hour of our time Ricky and I made $125 each, and that's something we could use right now. We were starving like anything, and when we got into Bensalem we pulled into Popeye's where I went in and ordered a 16-piece chicken, we brought it home and devoured half of it! right now, we're watching Fox 29 News, relaxing, just very grateful for how today went, and very grateful for being able to do this survey.
I have to say guys, that the more and more I read the book of Ecclesiastes, the more I see how important it is to make the most of every moment, second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year that God gives me, because every bit of it is a precious gift from Him. I wanna make sure that I am showing God the gratitude and praise that he deserves for every day that He gives me, and all the gifts that they hold. I think after what happened to me in September, I'm really asking God to help me cherish every day that God does give me, and to never take it for granted. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional were so especially challenging to me in this area, because I have a tendency to take the days God gives me for granted. Please check out these questions, and see this precious truth for yourself.
How will you take delight in today’s simple, God-honoring joys?
What one good thing have you yet to do or attempt?
What I'd like to do tonight, my friends, is share some things that God showed me from his word, in particular from this passage of scripture, on the importance of never forgetting God, and making sure that we put the Creator 1st in everything that we say and do. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the valuable truth that we are to never forget our Creator! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you will remember that every good thing you have, every good and perfect gift comes from God, and that you never take it for granted! I challenge you to give God thanks for every day that he gives you, and for all the gifts that each and every day holds. I challenge you every day, to thank God not only for the wondrous things that He’s given you, but also for sustaining you, and giving you the ability to have what you have. Choose to not only remember your Creator, but make it a point to strive to follow His ways, embrace every opportunity that god gives you, to live and love every day that He provides you. Take time to enjoy the simple joys, the wonderful things, that come from each and every day that God gives you, and embrace these opportunities as an act of worship to Him.

GOD IS THE ONE WHO MADE IT/US ALL
Colossians 1:15-17 New King James Version
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or [a]principalities or [b]powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
I thought of these verses above, as well as Genesis 1:1, Psalm 19:1, and many others that point to the fact that God is the creator of this universe, and that He is the one that we are to praise and give thanks for that fact. That no matter what groups such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the ACLU, or all the followers of Charles Darwin state, we're not accidents, a product of monkeys, apes, or ooze, but the result of an almighty God, who spoke the word and everything came into order, including you and I.
I think that's why I was so encouraged to not be afraid to proclaim and live this out in my life, because there are a lot of people out there that believe the lies of evolution, and that there is no God. It's also why these questions from this morning's devotional really got me to thinking about this vast truth and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and i pray that you'll see this truth for yourself.
When has exploring the wonderful world God made led you to praise Him?
How has God used His creation to deepen your faith in His power and provision?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word this morning, as well as from other passages 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 not only convince you, but encourage you to proclaim the truth that God is the one who made everything and everyone in this universe. Come join me in this vlog tonight, and learn this truth for yourself! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I really pray that you'll think about what these verses out of Psalm 104 are saying, as well as the other passages of scripture that I shared with all of you tonight, and realize the truth that God is the creator of this universe. That we are not here by chance, we're not accidents, we sure as anything did not come from monkeys, apes, or ooze, but that we are here because of the wondrous design, majesty, and plan of almighty God. That no matter what others say, God is real, He created you and I, made only two genders, and that everything He created is special, unique, and precious to Him. Let's make sure we are teaching our children the truth in this area, and not allowing them to swallow the lies of evolution, but the truth that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in Christ Jesus.

MY THOUGHTS ON RUTH CHAPTER 3
Hey guys! Welcome to Ruth chapter 3 of our study! You know there's so much in this chapter that I got to learn through this study, and I praise God for it. I'm really starting to see how Darlene is able to show Christ in all of this, and how through the whole story of Ruth, we see a beautiful story of love and redemption. It's a story of love and redemption, that I believe became even more profound through what Christ did for us. I wanted to share a couple of things from this chapter, and I pray that you'll bear with me. Come join me as we go on Facebook live, and also on YouTube to do this.

JUST KEEP STIRRING IT UP….
Hebrews 10:24 New King James Version
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
SO THAT WE NEVER LOSE OUR LOVE AND ZEAL FOR CHRIST!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
Tell me something my friends.
How do you think Jesus feels when He sees that you’re excited about Him?
What’s the relationship between thankfulness and zeal?
I don't know about any of you, but I want a joy, passion, an excitement for serving God that doesn't come from legalistic rules, personal preferences, or anything that will drain my joy in Christ. I believe that when we are truly serving Christ, and when we are genuinely excited for Him, it shows in our daily life, and I believe that brings joy to Him.
Tonight, my friends, I wanna share some things that I has been on my heart for a while on this very issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that you guys hear well I believe God wants me to share with you on this. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the importance of, as well as the precious joy in having a continual fervent excitement that “boils over” for Christ Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that we have a lot more Henry’s in this world, who are not only not afraid to share their faith in Christ, but have that continued zeal, that passion, that continual genuine enthusiasm to serve Christ, and that it is fresh and powerful in your life every day. I pray that we never have a moment where we lose our love for Jesus, that we never experience any stagnation, rut, or boredom in our walk with Christ. I pray for all of you every day that you have an excitement for Jesus that doesn't quit, and that if you're having any situation where that excitement, that joy, that zeal, that passion, has somehow or another been dulled, or maybe the flame is getting really low, that you asked Jesus to increase it, and allow the true joy, passion, and more so that you have in Christ to “bubble over” so that this lost world out there sees Christ Jesus in you. Don't ever get bored with knowing Jesus, because every day with Him, is something exciting!

GOD CAN AND WILL USE ANYTHING WE HAVE
Psalm 37:5 New King James Version
5 Commit[a] your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
BECAUSE "LITTLE IS MUCH, WHEN GOD IS IN IT." GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
You ever get the feeling like you're not worth much? Have you been faced with people who tell you that you're worthless, useless, and that they don't expect anything at all from you? I have, and I'll tell you it hurts. Even worse, is when you start believing it. I think that's why I really needed this morning scripture, because here is a man in Moses, who believed God was making a huge mistake in calling him to lead Israel out of Egypt, because of his past, and he had no idea that God had marvelous plans for him. That no matter what happens, no matter our past, that as Winn Collier, states so brilliantly, “with God whatever we have will be enough.”
I think that's why I really needed these questions from this morning's devotional, because I struggle in this area, and I need a reminder that no matter what small thing I have, God can use it if I surrender it to Him. Please check out these questions, and see just what I mean.
What small thing can you use for God?
Why is it so vital that you trust Him with it?
What I'd like to do tonight my friends, is share some things that God has shown me through his word, in regards to 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 you to see that no matter how small, insignificant, you think you are, or the abilities that you have, God can and will work with whatever you have large or small, for His honor and glory. Come join me in this vlog tonight, and learn for yourself how little is truly much when God is in it! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you will allow God to show you, that you are not useless, worthless, or any other negative statement that someone makes about you. That you are truly loved by an almighty God, and that love never stops. I pray you realize that no matter how insignificant others may think you are, or that you think of yourself, that you have a Heavenly Father who truly values you, sees you as fearfully and wonderfully made, and no matter what talents and gifts you have that you think are insignificant, God doesn't see them that way. You are His precious child, and He loves you passionately, endlessly, and unconditionally!

MY GOD, MY REFUGE
Psalm 46:1 New King James Version
46 God is our refuge and strength,
A[a] very present help in trouble.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I'm gonna admit right now guys I have never read the book Little Women, nor have I seen any movie adaptations of it. I guess it's because I'm not into long winded things (LOL), but and that the short clips I've seen of certain movies, and what I have read from certain books, I do find the fact that Marmee, the mother, has such a strong faith in God. I think because of godly women like her, that faith gets passed on, and Louisa May Alcott, does a very good job of sharing that.
There was something about not just this morning scripture, but also the questions out of this morning's devotional, that had me remembering all the times in which God has been there for me and for Ricky. Remembering moments of God's strength, tenderness, compassion, and loving arms wrapped around me during some of the worst times of trouble, and I can't help but praise and thank Him for all that He’s brought me through, is bringing me through, and will bring me through.
As such, I'd like to share the questions from this morning's devotional with all of you, because I think we all need to be reminded, encouraged to run to God in both good times and bad period please check these questions out and see just what I mean.
How have you experienced God's strength in times of trouble?
Where have you seen His comforting care?
What I'd like to do tonight my friends, is share some things that God showed me from His Word, in particular, on what it means to have God as our refuge, through this flag I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will help you see that you can turn to your Heavenly Father who will offer you a place of refuge in His strength and tenderness. Come join me in this club tonight my friends and learn about the ONLY One who is your strong tower, fortress, refuge, strength, but most of all the One that you can truly find safety in!😊
My prayer for all of you tonight, is that whatever struggle, storm, or trial that you are experiencing, that you will turn to the One who holds you in the palm of His hand and will never let you go. Know that no matter what you go through in life, just remember that if you know Christ as savior, you serve the One who has already overcome the world and know that you're on the winning side. Remember that you can find rest, safety, shelter, and refuge in Christ, knowing that nothing or no one will ever separate you from God's love. Most of all, remember that God is your refuge. He has been from the beginning of time, is now, and always will be. Don't be afraid to cling to Him and know that in Him you are safe and secure and will never be moved!

BE GOOD WORKS READY FOR CHRIST!!!
Titus 3:14 New King James Version
14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!
As I was reading this morning scripture, I got to genuinely thinking about what it means to do good works for the Lord, versus trying to earn your salvation through good works, and I have to say God showed me a lot not just from this passage, but from other instances as well. I thought about how I've been learning that doing good works for God, is a result of our salvation. That it is the effect of the cause of our having come to know Christ to savior, because we're going to want to do good for Christ. We are going to want to be “good works ready” for Christ, because it's our way of showing our love for Him.
I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, have my brain going in full gear so to speak, thinking about them, and I’d like to share the questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to your heart through them.
What can hinder good-works readiness in your life?
How can you reorder your life to be available for helping people who are in need?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word about 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 not only encourage, and motivate you, but enable and inspire you to want to be good works ready for Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight and learn what it means to be good works ready for Jesus! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to challenge you to think about what it means to be good works ready for the Lord and ask God to show you ways that you can be that for Him. You don't need to have money, to make a difference for God, but a Heart that is willing to use the gifts and talents that God has given you. Remember as Arthur Jackson this morning's devotional writer said, “Rather than being overwhelmed by what we don't have and can't do, let's think about what we do have and can do as God helps us.” In the end, when we choose to without the faith that we say we have, represent Christ with true honor and integrity, we not only “get to help others at the point of their needs” but honor God in the process. Let's not be afraid to let our lights shine, and to be ready to do every good work for Him!
UNTIL THURSDAY EVERYBODY:
HAVE A VERY RESTFUL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

TRUSTING GOD'S GREATER POWER TO FIGHT THE GIANTS
1 John 4:4 New King James Version
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! All I'm gonna say guys, is I serve an awesome God, who was powerful, bigger than my problems, fears, or circumstances, and best of all he's greater than all that is in the world! To sum up things over the last 24 hours, we had to have our car repaired, because there was coolant leaking from it, and we were faced with a possible bill of in the four figures, but praise God it was only $580, and I’m rejoicing in the lord over it! With all that was going on, I really felt like I was facing a giant today, but with God's strength flowing through me, that giant of fear, stress, and uncertainty over our car was defeated and I praise God for it. I think that's why I really appreciate this morning's passage of scripture, and the story of Gideon so much, and how it reminds me that there is nothing too big for God to handle, because He truly is greater than what's in this world today.
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this 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 encourage you to see that no matter what situation, problem, fear, stress, or whatever it is that you're facing, that God is truly greater than what's in the world, and you can find rest in His strength. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and see just what I'm talking about! 😊
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 will challenge and encourage you put all of your fears, concerns, and everything else you're facing in the hands of the Almighty powerful God, who was greater than what's in this world.
What big foes or challenges are you facing?
How can you rest in God’s power as you confront them?
I pray tonight that with whatever you might be facing right now, whatever giant, challenge, foe, or hardship you might be facing that you please remember that you serve an almighty God who was greater than it all, and don't be afraid to trust him to help you. Remember that when you feel like you're weak and inferior choose to seek God and rest in His strength alone. When you do, you will truly find strength from God in your weakness, and you will know without a shadow of a doubt that you have victory in the One who is greater than what's in the world, and that you were more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. Find God strengthen your weakness and watch how much you will shine!

DWELL IN AND MAKE ME MORE LIKE YOU, LORD
Colossians 3:16 New King James Version
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!!
Allow me to ask these questions from this morning's devotional my friends, and I pray that these questions challenge your heart, and cause you to think about what it means to be more like Christ.
What does it mean for you to open your heart to Christ?
What does it mean for you to be able to willingly not only open your heart to Christ, but allow Him to be comfortable living in your heart? I'm not talking about anything with salvation here, but I'm talking about what it means to allow Christ to be a permanent resident in your heart, to help you be more like Him.
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 not only challenge you, but that it will motivate you, and give you a sincere desire to want Christ to have every part of your life. That you allow Christ to continue to make his home in your heart, that you will want Christ to make you more like Him every day. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself how important it is to not only have Christ dwell in you, but to make you more like Him! 😊
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 motivate you to make Christ more welcome in your heart, and to make you more like Him.
How can you make Him more welcome?
My prayer for all of you tonight, my friends, is that you ask yourself especially how you can make Christ more welcome in your heart and life. Ask God to show you how to treat Him not as a mere welcome guest, but as a permanent resident who wants to help you grow more and more into the likeness of His son Jesus every day. Ask Christ to help you clean out/do a total overhaul of your heart. Ask Him to examine and look for any area of your life that you’re trying to hide from Him, where you know He wouldn't be comfortable in, and help you completely remove those areas. Ask Him to make Himself at home in your heart always, and as Christ dwells in your heart, ask Him to make you more and more like Him every day.

HAVE A MAJESTICLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

GUARD, PROTECT, AND KEEP YOUR HEART ❤️
Proverbs 4:23 New King James Version
23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, I can completely relate to what Karen Huang was saying in this morning's devotional about how sin does begin in the heart. In particular, I could relate to what she was going through when it came to holding onto bitterness and hatred towards someone, because I've been there too. I've also experienced people who twist and distort what it means to forgive, and try to use buzzwords like “you're being bitter”, “don't dwell on it”, “you're dwelling on it” to get you to “forgive and forget” what happened to you. These are among the many trite, useless, and outright un-Christlike statements I was exposed to, until I really learned what it meant to forgive. Until I learned to realize that I was willing to give God these things, to help me process the emotions that I was experiencing in a way that honored Him, so that I could truly heal.
I think that's why I so appreciate these questions from this morning’s devotional, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge you through them.
Jesus said that the sin in our heart defiles us. What “evil thoughts” might be defiling your heart?
How can you pray regarding this matter?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this 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 help you see how important it is to not just guard your heart, but ask God to help you process the emotions you experience, especially the negative ones, in a way that honors Him. Most of all, I pray that it'll help you to make sure that you're guarding your heart against the things that can defile it from within when it comes to sin. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how you can guard and keep your heart from this sin! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that if you have been wounded in your life by someone emotionally, whether it's an unkind word, or you have been violated by them on a physical and emotional level, that you first and foremost get help for what happened to you, so that you can process all the emotions that you're feeling in a way that honors God. I also urge everyone out there, to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. To keep your hearts secure and protected from Satan’s machinations, to try to cause you to sin. Ask God every day to help you do what Psalm 139:23-24 state, ask God to examine your heart every day, so that there is no sin that will keep you from a right relationship with Him.
UNTIL MONDAY EVERYONE:
HAVE A PEACEFUL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!

COURAGEOUSLY SPEAKING AND LIVING OUR FAITH
1 Peter 3:15 New King James Version
15 But [a]sanctify [b]the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
There is something very powerful as well as precious about this morning scripture, especially if you would read all of Ezekiel 1, because this is the moment in which God calls a young man to a very important ministry, and what Ezekiel gets to see in this calling, is something I want to see one day. I was especially challenged by the moment in which Ezekiel is not only seeing this powerful vision, but also as Kirsten Holmberg, this morning's devotional writer states, “Ezekiel heard the voice of God calling him to “speak [gods] words to [the Israelites]” (2:7).” Like Isaiah, Daniel, and yes, the apostle John, Ezekiel is being granted a special privilege to be able to see the glory of God, but also being given a precious calling to speak the truth of God's name to a people who have turned their backs on Him and need this warning from God before it's too late.
I think that's why this scripture was so challenging to me, and 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 challenge you to want to share the truth of Jesus with others. Come join me in this vlog tonight, my friends, and learn how to courageously speak and live your faith in Christ! 😊
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 will challenge and motivate you to want to speak and live the truth of Jesus in your life to others.
Who’s inviting you to speak into their lives—even if only faintly?
How will you respond?
I pray that you’ll never be afraid to share the good news of Jesus, but to share the good news with respect, gentleness, love, and compassion. Ask God to give you not only the courage, but also the wisdom and the words to speak, and watch how God will work in you. I pray that you’ll live in such a way, where the world will see Christ Jesus in you, so that when they come to you, you’re ready. In particular, I pray that we live lives that honor our Savior so much, that even in the midst of the opposition, hardship, backlash, and yes even the cancel culture that we are facing today at the hands of the ignorant lost, that they will continue to see Christ Jesus in us, and will ultimately want to know Him too. Be a living example of scripture, by speaking and living the truth of Jesus!

EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD
Psalm 24:1 New King James Version
24 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, like the CEO that James Banks mentioned in this morning’s devotional, I too I'm asking myself a lot, whether or not I'm an owner or a steward. I'm having to remind myself that what I have is a gift from God, that I don't own it, but that I need to make sure I'm taking care of it properly. I think that's why I really needed this morning scripture, as well as the questions from this morning's devotional, because I wanna make sure that I am grateful for what God gives me, and that I'm using it wisely for Him.
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 helps you to see this vital truth for yourself. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to be true stewards of this grand world that God has given us, knowing that everything and everyone in it belongs to Him! 😊
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 challenge you to, as James Banks states so well, “value the Giver over the gifts and serve Him with them”.
What has God given you that you’re grateful for?
How can you serve Him with it?
I pray that we learn to never take for granted the precious gifts that God has given us, and that we choose to be a good steward of them. I pray that we're willing to use those gifts and not care if we get noticed, but to make sure that we are using those gifts with the right motivation and reasons. As James also states, “God owns everything. But because of His goodness, He even chose to give Himself entering into a relationship with any who turn to Him.” This is because it's Mark 10:45 states, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” As such, I want to learn to value the Giver of the gifts that I have been given and serve Him with them in every way possible. This is something I pray for all of you, and that you will learn for yourself, how to be a good steward of what God has given you.

ALL OF GOD’S WORD IS IMPORTANT
2 Timothy 3:16 New King James Version
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness,
EVEN THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!! Happy leap year day gang! As I stated this morning, today is February 29th, which only occurs every four years, which is why we call it leap year day.
I'm gonna be the first one to admit guys, that there are parts of the Bible that I find either boring, or way too hard to understand so I try to avoid them. One of which is the book of Leviticus, but also the book of Psalms as well as Proverbs. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional were so convicting to my heart, because I have that tendency to ignore passages of scripture that I think aren't important. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them, so that you see that all of God's word is important too.
What sections of the Bible bore you or seem irrelevant?
How can you learn to recognize their value?
Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me out of His Word this morning, (Yes! Even through a passage like Leviticus 13:1-8!), through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you shows you just how valuable ALL of God's Word is. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself how to appreciate ALL of God's Word, because all of it truly does have value! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you really think about what I said in my vlog tonight and take time to really read every bit of God's word, and treat it with appreciation, and recognize the value that ALL of it holds. Just as Tim's friend Dave shared about this doctor friend of his came to know Christ, you may learn something valuable from an obscure part of God's Word too! Or you may reread a passage from a particular area of God's word, that may have been twisted and distorted, to promote a false teaching, in a totally different light, that will help you know what it really means to follow Jesus. Bottom line, ask God to help you every day to give you a greater appreciation for ALL of His Word, and allow every part of it to speak to you every day! After all, my friends, every part of God's word has value. Even a book like Leviticus! 😊

FOR WHEN WE STRUGGLE WITH DOUBTS
James 1:5-6 New King James Version
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
I'm gonna jump into this tonight guys, and ask these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it encourages you when you're struggling with your faith.
When have you wrestled with doubt in your spiritual journey?
What spiritual resources helped you hold on to your faith?
I don't know about any of you guys, but I’ve wrestled with this too. I’ve had moments where I thought God abandoned me, didn't love me anymore, and that I had to jump through all these spiritual hoops to get God to listen to me, when in reality all I need to do is cry out to Him, and He listens! You know these are moments that plague a lot of the best believers, and one thing I have learned throughout my life, and I still have to remind myself, is that there's nothing wrong with being angry, frustrated, and struggling with these feelings, or any other emotions, because God gave them to us. I just need to ask God to help me how to direct those emotions.
I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this passage of scripture 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 go to the Heavenly Father with your doubts, so that He can help you when you're struggling with them. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how with God's help you could take those doubts and turn them into strong faith! 😊
So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I wanna reach out to those that are going through struggles, traumas, and more so, to let them know that God walks beside them as they are going through those dark valleys, through the deepest pits, and the scary moments in life, and will give them victory. Don’t be afraid to cry out to God, trusting that He will hear you, and bring you the peace and victory you so desperately need. Remember the wonderful words of Corrie TenBoom, who stated, “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.” and choose to cling to the almighty God who holds you firmly in the palm of His hand and will never let you go.

WE MATTER TO GOD!!!
Mark 10:51-52 New King James Version
51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, [a]“Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has [b]made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!! Have you ever felt unnoticed at times? Have you felt ignored by others? Have you felt like you don't matter to anyone, especially to God? I want to tell you right now, that you do matter to Him, That God truly loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and sees you as having the value in His eyes. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional really encouraged me, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. They're a reminder to me of how much God loves me and values me, and I pray that you'll see that in your life too through them.
How would knowing that Jesus sees you changes how you view yourself in your life?
I'd like to share some things that 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 will help encourage you to see God DOES hear your cries for help and will stop to help you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the absolute fact, that you matter to God! 😊
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 that you not only matter to God, but that you can help others see it too.
Who are those around you who might need to be noticed, and how can you “stop” to encourage them with the Savior's love?
I pray first of all for all those who think that they are not valued, the ones who were ignored, cast aside, and that no one notices, that God sees you, hears your cries for help, and cares about you. He notices, values, and sees you as someone of great worth to Him, and wants you to know that when the world doesn't care to notice you, He does! He urges you to not be afraid to call out to Him for help, seek Him diligently with everything you have in your heart, and to know that you are loved, valued, and that you matter to Him. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/

Psalm 4:8 New King James Version
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYBODY!!!
I don't know how else to put this guys, but reading this morning’s passage of scripture, found me very emotional, because I can empathize with what David's going through. I can empathize with dealing with toxic family as well as dysfunctional and dangerous many of them can be. I've had moments, where sleep has been robbed from me, because I am enduring stress, dealing with trauma, and just outright concerned and worried over something. Like David, I've spent sleepless nights struggling and worrying over things that are beyond my control, but it's only when I do what Philippians 4:6-7 states, and give those worries and fears to Jesus, that I find true and real rest.
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 encourages you to see that when you're going through the fearful, stressful, and frightening things that you were facing, you have a savior, who stands by you, and is your rest. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to experience that sweet rest and sleep in the midst of it all! 😊
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 encourage you to trust God with whatever you're experiencing.
What things are weighing on your heart and mind?
What will it mean for you to truly surrender them to God through prayer?
I'd like to do something a little bit different tonight, and that is this if anyone has a prayer request, something that they're dealing with, and they feel overwhelmed and stressed out by, please share it here. Share it with all the brothers and sisters that read this and let us pray for you. I pray that you understand and live out the fact, that when you were going through all those fears and struggles, when the worries, cares, and all the scary things start trying to grip your mind and overtake you, replacing rest with restlessness, know that true hope and rest is found when we pray to God, cast every one of our cares to Him, and allow His peace to wash over us. Choose to turn your focus to God, seek the precious promises from His Word, and you will not only find the answers you're seeking, but the sweet sleep that you so badly need.

WE’RE SO MUCH BETTER TOGETHER
Ecclesiastes 4:12 New King James Version

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR ONES!!!
Something about the questions from this morning's devotional really got me when it comes to the fact that we need each other, in particular making sure we don't isolate ourselves, or keep ourselves from making the friends that God wants us to have. I thought about the many friends that God has put in my life, people who I consider my family, and it can't help but be very thankful for them. This is something I pray that is true for you, and That you will never take for granted. Check out these questions from this morning's devotional and see just what I mean.
How are you more vulnerable when you're isolated from one another?
What I'd like to do tonight, is share some things that God showed me from this passage of scripture this morning, 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 the importance of how two are truly better than one. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn for yourself that we are so much Better Together! 😊
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 want to commit to being in community and extending your love to others.
How can you draw closer to others?
I challenge you to think of ways in which you could welcome new people into your friendship circle and do so. Don't let little petty things, like social status, skin color, ethnicity, or any other stupid thing get in the way of you making a new friend. Be willing to step out on a limb, trusting God to help you make the right decisions in who you choose as your friend, and watch how God will use you in that person's life. Remember that true friends can't be rented or bought, so you want to make sure that you truly invest the time that is needed to form those friendships. After all, as Proverbs 18:24 states so very well, “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Choose to be a real friend to someone today!

SHOW ME THE STRANGERS…
Hebrews 13:2 New King James Version
2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
AND HELP ME TO LOVE THEM, LORD!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
As I was reading this morning's passage of scripture, a lot of things were brought to my mind, especially things that are going on in our country right now. Things such as protecting our border from the criminal, illegal migrants that are coming in, but also showing concern, compassion, and love toward the strangers that are coming in that are victims of these criminals. To show God's love and mercy to individuals, because these are the very “strangers” that God wants us to take care of. The problem is, how do we take care of these individuals, without putting ourselves in danger? How do we take care of these individuals, show them the love of Jesus, and help them find safety and solace in our country, without becoming victims?
These things are really on my mind right now, as I was reading this morning scripture, and I feel very led of the Lord to share some things that are on my heart in this matter with all of you tonight. Come join me in this vlog tonight, my friends, and learn for yourself how to ask God to show you who the strangers are to love! 😊
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 God will use these questions to challenge your heart and get you to thinking about just WHO the strangers are that God wants you to love, and to be willing to welcome them with discernment.
Who is an outsider in your world?
How might you reach out and welcome them into your space?
I pray tonight that we do not forget that there are those out there, who are coming over here legally, and doing what is right to become citizens of our country, and to treat them with honor and respect. I also pray that you realize that there are those that are here illegally, who more than likely got here against their will, were lied to, and are in desperate need of our help. No matter who the person is, their skin color, ethnicity, race, socioeconomic background, or anything else about them, God desires for us to have the same level of concern for them that we do for our own friends. Ask God to help us show discernment as to who we help, so that we're not taken advantage of, or victims of a criminal. Let's ask God to help us show the strangers He wants us to love and love them!
UNTIL SATURDAY EVERYONE:
HAVE A BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
