The Hurt that Is Caused By Others

Monday

"The Hurt that Is Caused
By Others"

     When dealing with people, it is never an exact science, because none of you are aware of what truly is in the heart of an individual and how they might really feel about you. Oh sure, you can make your guesses and/or have your speculations, but you can never be quite sure why someone might treat you as they do, unless they are bold and honest enough to come right out and say why they do or have treated you a certain way. I realize that many of you do not have any mean or bad intentions towards anyone else, and all you tend to have ever done is, to try and be a help to someone. As a child of Mine in CHRIST, there are those who will lie on and about you without any provocation at all, and I know that is not right and neither is it fair. Cases such as this cannot help but produce hurt feelings in the one to whom it has happened, especially when you do not know why someone has decided to treat you that way. But always know this, when you are a child of Mine and are hurt, well then, I hurt as well, and something will indeed be done about it.
     There is a saying that some people will say sometimes, and that saying is, GOD does not like ugly which is very true indeed. It simply means that as your Heavenly Father, I do not like seeing a child of Mine being hurt, and I do have My ways of correcting the situation. Now if all of the parties involved happen to be My children, then I will surely address the one who is in the wrong. For one thing, how can anyone say that they love Me but yet mistreat their brother or sister who they see every day? Another thing to remember is what JESUS said in Matthew 7:12  Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. And if you happen to be on the receiving end of the mistreatment, then do your best to pray for those who have hurt you or wronged you, and I, Almighty Jehovah, will definitely have your back. Remember that if you are hurting then I am hurting also, and I will not rest until there is justice done one way or another. Now may you be at peace, knowing that I am in your corner every step of the way, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

 Sunday
August 25, 2024

"King of Kings and Lord of Lords"

     Blessed are you who remember that The Lord JESUS is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and that there is no Name under or in Heaven Greater than His. Blessed also are those of you who treat The Lord JESUS as The King and The Lord that He is because there are many people who do not treat Him as such. Too many people live their lives day to day as if they are the kings and queens and lords of their own lives, not realizing that their lives are not their own at all. They oftentimes fail to realize that at any moment of the day or night their life here on earth could be over. Many of them also fail to recognize the fact that without The Lord JESUS CHRIST in their lives, they do not have anything worthwhile of their own. There are also those who fail to recognize that as The Lord JESUS CHRIST said in John 14:6, He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and no one comes to The Father except through Him, and blessed is he or she who realizes that fact.
     So as you live your life this and every day, do be mindful of the fact that the life you are living is only partially yours. I guess you can look at it as if the life you have here on earth is on loan to you for the moment, and one day you are going to have to return it. You will either return it to then live for eternity with The Lord JESUS, The Holy Spirit, and Me, or you will live an eternity being separated from Us. It all depends upon how you honor and respect The Lord JESUS CHRIST Who is indeed King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Know this, there is a day coming people, when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is Lord to the glory of GOD The Father. With each passing day My beloved, it is getting closer to the time of His return to gather His children and bring them Home. It is My hope that you who are reading this message will be in that number, in JESUS' Mighty and Magnificent Name.

AMEN

Being A Forgiver

 Saturday
August 24, 2024

"Being A Forgiver"

     The following words are more powerful than most people might think: "Forgive me my debts as I forgive my debtors." There are some translations that will say it like, "Forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me." Yes, My children, people often walk around holding all kinds of unforgiveness in their hearts, and many times they will do so over some of the smallest things. In many cases, in fact, the thing that tends to make everything bigger than they were in the beginning, is the fact of the unforgiving spirit helping to blow things out of proportion. It is absolutely amazing just how often little things will become big things just because of an unforgiving spirit. The funny thing always tends to be the fact that people will come to Me to be forgiven for something that they have done, as they walk around with unforgiveness in their hearts towards someone else. I try to get people to stop and think about the words, "Forgive me my debts as I forgive my debtors", but so many of them just ignore Me nevertheless.
     Now remember when Peter asked The Lord JESUS how many times does a person have to forgive another, and he mightily proposed seven times as if that was something great? But no, JESUS came back with the number seventy-seven times seven, which put Peter's thought of seven times to shame. All JESUS was trying to say with that answer was that forgiveness is unlimited, no matter how much or how often you might believe that you have been hurt or trespassed against. It is indeed a difficult thing to do for sure, but that is why you were given The Holy Spirit to help and comfort you. Now if the trespasser breaks the law while doing what he or she did, then they will still have charges to face. As for the one who was trespassed against, the forgiveness of the person will still be in order. Why should you forgive, some might ask? Well, it is because that is what I have instructed the child of Mine to do, and that should be enough. Forgiveness frees you and the one who needs forgiveness to live again and be spiritually free, now and forevermore, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

When All You Want to Do Is Help

 Friday
August 23, 2024

"When All You Want to Do 
Is Help"

     There will indeed be times in this life when there are certain individuals you will not be able to help, no matter how badly you might want to do so. People do tend to have their reasons for not wanting or rejecting help, no matter how unreasonable the reason might seem to you for them rejecting your help. Much too often these days, there are even those for whom you cannot even pray, because they are just not ready to receive prayer at the time. There are times when some people just want to be left alone, and that is their right to be alone if that is what they want. The same tends to apply to those who do not want prayer at the time for whatever reason, even though prayer can only help and not hurt someone. And speaking of rights, some people believe that they have the right to do, be, or say anything whatsoever without any limits, but that is just not the case. You see, some people believe that their life is their own, but even that is only true to a certain point.
     So from this day forth My children, try to stop worrying about those who have not asked for your help. Remember, you cannot force people into receiving help if they are not ready to receive it. Some of you have your heart in the right place for sure, but everything depends on the person you have the desire to help. Because you might love and care about someone, there will be times when it will hurt you to see them hurting or needing help, but still, the ball remains in their court until there is a change in them. Your hope is that those who need help will realize that you are indeed willing and able to do so anytime they need you. Take The Lord JESUS for instance, He is right there ready and willing to forgive sins, but He has to wait until someone realizes that they need help and come to Him, even though He has been right there all the time. Just pray that those who need help will come to the realization that you are ready and willing to be of service, and a blessing you will surely be, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

Dealing with Politics Once Again

 Thursday
August 22, 2024

"Dealing with Politics Once Again"

     Oh My goodness My children, just how dirty can politics become? Well, I will tell you, there are no limits as to how messy and deceiving things can become when talking about politics. As many of you have seen and/or have heard, deception and lies tend to be the name of the game the majority of the time where politics are concerned. Those who tend to be running for a particular office will do and/or say almost anything just to get elected. And if you notice, the higher the office that one is running for, the more the lies and the deception tend to be. In most cases, in fact, they do not even care about the fact that I am aware of their lies and the deception, because they just want to win whatever race they are running. As I mentioned before, politics is one of the worst things in which a person can become involved, and oh what a shame that is, because it involves so many people. And what really makes being involved in politics so sad sometimes is the fact that the person who is running for a particular office, will not care what they have to do or say to win, along with those who stand with them.
     Therefore My children, if you do ever, on the rare occasion, run across a truly honest politician, make sure that you cast your vote for that particular person. I do grow weary of those who have to lie, cheat, and/or deceive the people when they run for office. Many of you have elections coming up very soon in The United States, and lies are being told by both parties and in every corner of the aisle, so what is a person to do you say? Well since most of you have a duty to vote as a Christian, vote for the one who has lied to you the least. Also as a Christian, some of the candidates deserve your vote because of their political stance, and not because of race, color, creed, sex, or religion, or else you will not be doing your part to choose the best person for the job. That is why it is important to be an informed voter, or else you could blindly and ignorantly end up voting for satan. That is also why some of you should not even be voting at all, because you are voting for the wrong reason. Be wise therefore and examine your choices wisely, and blessed your Country will be for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself

 Wednesday
August 21, 2024

"Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself"

     Some people tend to get the wrong idea or impression when I talk about loving others as if I am asking them to do the impossible. In more cases than not, all I am asking someone to do when it comes to loving their neighbor as themselves is to just treat others as they would like to be treated. It can also mean doing unto others as they would like others to do unto them. I am not saying that anyone has to get all mushy and kissy-faced with an individual as if they are in love with the person. Not even I would want anything such as that to be taking place. So very often in this world, there are people treating one another as if they have never heard of The Ten Commandments or at the very least, how they should be treating one another. People need to begin to realize that even if they cannot seem to get along, they can at least find a way to be civil towards one another as human beings.
     So from this day forth oh child of Mine in CHRIST, try treating your neighbor with dignity and respect or as you would like to be treated. People love to say certain things these days like I will respect you when you learn to respect me. Or, you have to give respect in order to get respect. Well I say, respect others even if they do not respect you, because your Heavenly Father, Me, sees everything that transpires. Also, one of the most difficult things you will ever have to do is to love your enemy or to love someone who obviously hates you. Once again, all I ask anyone to do is to treat even the worst of people the way that you would want to be treated. It is so easy to be mean to those who are mean to you, but then what credit is that to you. Can you humble yourself enough to pray for such a person and ask that they be forgiven like The Lord JESUS did for those who had Him crucified? Oh, I can hear it now, people saying that they are not CHRIST JESUS, but do they desire to be a learner and a follower of JESUS CHRIST or not? Live to JESUS therefore and die to self, and blessed you will be for so doing, in His Holy and Most Precious Name.

AMEN

Learn to Pay Attention

 Tuesday
August 20, 2024

"Learn to Pay Attention"

     There are certain people in this world who are living a rather nice life, but yet they tend to be constantly complaining about one thing or another. Some of these people in fact have to try and create problems and drama in their lives just to be able to have something about which to complain. Some of these people tend to have everything they need and more, yet they are lacking joy and happiness in their lives. There are of course those who do legitimately need certain things in their lives, but because they are considered to be the least in this society, their needs are often ignored or overlooked by those who can help. Many people look down upon and/or just ignore those who they see as being beneath them. One of the saddest things in this world is the fact, that in a Nation that is as blessed as this one, there are many people who are ignored and in need.
     So the next time you pass someone who seems to be in need and you turn your head and/or act as if you do not see them, think about the parable of the good Samaritan JESUS told in My Word. And know this, not everyone you see who might be down at the time are bums or hobos as some of you might like to think. There are certain things that tend to occur in certain people's lives that tend to really break them down and cause them to just give up on life, thinking that no one really cares. I have tried sometimes to get some of your attention so that I could work through many of you, but many of you have really gotten good at ignoring Me. I am aware there are many crooks and deceivers in this world, and it is difficult to decide whom you can trust. But listen, just let Me worry about that part. Remember these words of The Lord JESUS in the parable in the Book of  Matthew Chapter 5,  inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. All I am asking, therefore, is to do what you can when you can to help someone, and I in turn will do the same for you when you are in need. Now may you who have had ears to hear, be forever blessed, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

JESUS CHRIST in You

 Monday
August 18, 2024

"JESUS CHRIST in You"

     Every day that I wake each of you up, is a new day that is given unto you to crucify that old nature within and to put on CHRIST JESUS. It is a choice that one makes daily to choose to do or not do as far as living in CHRIST is concerned. Some might ask how do you go about crucifying yourself and putting on The Lord JESUS CHRIST? Well friends, first and foremost it begins with repentance and asking The Lord JESUS to cleanse and forgive you of your sins. Also, whenever possible, it should also include being baptized in the Name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. After all of that, it takes a desire to want to know this JESUS CHRIST Who has cleansed and saved you from your sins. Now if you are truly sincere about your repentance, you will have been born again, not of the flesh, but rather of The Spirit. And if indeed you are serious, you will want to give up that old sinful life you were living and begin to desire to live for The Lord JESUS CHRIST.
     So there you have it, My friends, it is not all that complicated, but The Lord JESUS truly does need to become The Most Important Person in your life. Every time that old sinful nature of yours tries to rear its ugly head, and it will, you have to put it to death through the power of The Lord JESUS CHRIST and The Holy Spirit. You are indeed at a disadvantage because you are a sinful creature by birth, but JESUS CHRIST and The Holy Spirit are working in you to help change and take away that sinful nature. No My beloved, your struggle will not be an easy one of course, especially since you have to live in a sinful world such as this. For you to live is Christ, and to die to self is gain, and powerful is the person who learns to listen to and obey the words of The Lord JESUS CHRIST. Be in CHRIST therefore and allow CHRIST to be in you, and blessed you will be for so doing, in His Holy and Most Precious Name.

AMEN

Do Not Be Deceived

 Sunday
August 18, 2024

"Do Not Be Deceived"

     Ever since I created this world and cast satan and his followers out of Heaven down to earth, he has tried his best to do what he could to cause mankind to stumble and fail. It all began with Adam and Eve of course, by the misrepresentation of My Word as far as what I had told them that they could or could not do or eat. This has been his ploy all through the ages, and it continues to be so even to this day. Know this, My children, the devil is always busy trying to deceive and mislead people as far as My Word is concerned. The main problem that I see tends to be that the devil knows My Word better than many Christians do, and he will often try to use his knowledge to try and confuse and mislead people. He will also often try to take something that is good from My Word and try to put a different slant or spin on It, or even try to make people think that something that is in It is irrelevant for today's times, and very often he tends to succeed when he does.
     Therefore My beloved, be careful when it comes to certain temptations in your life because satan is usually the one behind every unholy temptation that comes your way. There is quite an uproar these days over the Ten Commandments and how they should be restricted as far as their use is concerned. And why do you think that is? It is mainly because it is from My Word, and that alone is reason enough for satan to hate what It says. The Ten Commandments tend to go against everything the devil is in favor of, so he will naturally not care for what It says. Tell Me, how could anyone in their right mind argue with, you shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; and you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your GOD, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments, and all the other commandments that follow. Do not be deceived or misled My children by satan and/or his minions, and blessed you will be if you just stand firm, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

Loving Others

 Saturday
August 17, 2024

"Loving Others"

     Some people in this world tend to spend a lot of time and energy on being mean and nasty towards others, and often for no other reason than just to make them miserable. It seems that just being nice and civil towards others is somehow an unpleasant concept for some people. It sometimes seems that the nastier and the meaner someone can be towards another the better it is for them. One of the saddest things about many who tend to behave in such a way is the fact that they claim to be Christians. One of the last things that JESUS told His Disciples before He was arrested, is that they should love one another, for in so doing the world would know that they were His followers. The Apostle Paul even wrote in The Book of 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, (1)Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. (2)And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (3)And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
     Now listen My children, there is nothing special about being mean and nasty and sometimes even evil towards others, because it is love that truly counts for something. Now is it really that difficult to love your neighbor as yourself as JESUS said in The Book of Matthew. As a matter of fact My children, love was used many many times throughout My Word, proving just how important it is to Me. I would like for each of you who are supposed to be Mine to think about how you treat your fellow human beings. That also goes for those who many of you see as your enemies, for did JESUS not say to love your enemies also? I realize what a difficult thing I am asking of you, but the power to be more than what you think is in you through The Holy Spirit. Love is a concept that is hated by satan, so why not make the devil angry by learning to love your fellow man or woman. It would be such a pleasure to see the power of love take root all over the place, and blessed you will be for so doing, in JESUS'  Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Realizing the Importance of Material Things

 Friday
August 16, 2024

"Realizing the Importance of 
Material Things"

     One of the more difficult things that I have to deal with in this society, is getting people to realize and understand that everything that is seen and/or known today is only temporary. I have tried to make it clear to most people time and time again, but they still want to make the material things in life out to be the most important things. If you do not believe Me, just let most people catch someone stealing from them and see just how understanding the one who was being stolen from can be. There are in fact times when someone's life has been taken over material things, when The Lord JESUS CHRIST suffered and was crucified over each of your lives and not over some material thing. Yes, I realize just how despicable a thief is, and yes I realize that most of them should indeed be punished, but is someone's life really and truly less important than a watch, car, truck, money, or any other such thing? Those of you who place more value on material things rather than on life itself, truly need to have a talk with The Lord JESUS, because He obviously got it all wrong.
     So from this day forth My beloved, try to understand that everything you now possess and hope to possess in the future is only temporary, which means that you cannot take any of it with you when you go. Blessed are you who can see the reasoning behind that statement, because it can be so difficult for others to see, especially those who think that material or physical things are more important than someone's life. Those who end up having something stolen from them need to realize that there is nothing quite so important that it cannot be replaced. That which cannot be replaced by any means, is just a loss, but still not as important as a life. Sure there are times when lives are lost in the commission of a crime, which can occur on either side, but now that is when faith in The Lord JESUS CHRIST comes into play because if the one who is taken and the one who is left behind are in CHRIST JESUS, they will certainly meet again on the other side. Now may you be one who is in CHRIST, in and through His Mighty and Holy Name.

AMEN

Be Careful What You Ask For

 Thursday
August 15, 2024

"Be Careful What You Ask For"

     Some of you need to be aware of what you ask Me for at times, because things may not always go according to how you might have planned them. For instance, if you were to ask Me for patience, there will usually be some situation presented where patience will be needed, and as some of you have discovered, patience will not be easy to achieve at times. When you ask to be able to learn how to see others as I might see them, this too will not be easy to do. That is because when I look at people, I am also able to see their hearts which none of you can see. Some people reveal their hearts by the way they manage to live their lives, which is often a beautiful thing to see. Some people have even asked for clean hearts, which means that in doing this, the person will have to be willing to give up their hidden sins in their life, being willing to be more like The Lord JESUS CHRIST, and there is no one better to emulate than The Lord JESUS CHRIST.
     Therefore My darling children, remember to be mindful of what you ask Me for as a child of Mine in CHRIST. There are some prayers that are wonderful when it comes to what a person is asking for, just be sure that what you ask Me for is really what you want. Remember as well, there are some things for which you might ask that take some sacrifices or changes to be made in your life. Many people claim that they want to be or do something in particular, but then do not want to put in the work to achieve whatever it is. When one asks to be able to be patient, one should be prepared to have your patience tested and to have it tested more than once. And in order to see people as I see them, one should be willing to stop judging others and learn to accept them just as they are. And if being like The Lord JESUS is your goal, be ready to be ridiculed and maybe even go through the fire, for such is what builds perseverance. Now may each of you become better individuals from this day forth, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Not All Confusion Is Bad

 Wednesday
August 14, 2024

"Not All Confusion Is Bad"

     Confusion and/or being confused is not always necessarily a bad thing, except for when it arises from some external source, such as in arguments and disagreements and such. When there is confusion that might arise because of one having to make a choice or a decision, then the act of being confused might be trying to tell you something. You will sometimes hear people say that they are confused as far as having to make a decision or where a choice is concerned. When it comes to such instances as this, one could say that the confusion might come as a warning from Me. It just might be Me at the time saying stop, open your eyes and ears, and pay close attention to what is happening around you. I could be asking you to slow down and be careful about what you are thinking and about what your next move might be. People will sometimes just ignore this type of confusion, and go ahead and make bad decisions without considering the consequences.
     From this day forth oh children of Mine, stop thinking that all confusion is a bad thing because you never know when I might be trying to get your attention. Such are the times when you need to just take a little break and consider what you might be going through at the time. Get yourself somewhere quiet where you might be able to be at peace and be able to hear Me through The Holy Spirit. There have indeed been times when confusion has saved lives, simply because the people involved took the time to consider what the confusion might have meant. Much too often these days, confusion tends to get a bad rap, so to speak, but one needs to be wise enough to consider from where the confusion might have risen. Therefore My beloved, remember to keep your cool through any and all things, even in the face of confusion, and blessed you will surely be for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN
