Thankful to Be Alive

"Thankful to Be Alive"

     Some people awake and live every day without being mindful of the fact that life as they know it is a gift, and it could be over at any time. A person can wake up and be on top of the world the one minute, and some tragedy might befall them in the next minute. This is why wisdom would dictate that everybody, who is Mine, should be prepared to come Home at any time. A question that is often asked is; if The Lord JESUS were to return today, would you be ready? The answer should be yes, but you would be shocked to know just how few people truly are. Of course, people should not wake up every day being fearful that the present day could be the day when they are called Home. Oh yes, of course, one can be called Home before The Lord JESUS returns, and that is something that tends to occur each and every day. The thing I want those who are Mine to do is to be aware of the fact that you cannot take anything for granted, and wise are those of you who realize that fact.

     Therefore My dear children, when you wake up each morning, learn to be thankful just because you are allowed to open your eyes and take a breath. Each day you have been allowed to live is surely a gift from Me, your Heavenly Father. And if and/or when you happen to have one of those days when everything seems to be going wrong, remember to give thanks anyway, because the bad days will eventually pass. Know too that even when things are not going quite right, We are still right there with you through it all. All you have to do is just keep the faith and everything will eventually work itself out. Why, you ask? Because if We be for you, then who or what can be against you? Learn therefore to enjoy every breath you take, because you never really know when it might be your last. Many people have been surprised to have taken their last breath on Earth and ended up here with Us. So be thankful My beloved for each and every day you are alive, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Always Trust in GOD

 Wednesday

January 15, 2025

"Always Trust in GOD"

     Every day I will do something that no one will really understand or can explain My reason for doing whatever it is that I have done. This occurs so often in the world that some people have the audacity to question what I do or have done. And can you believe it? There are even those who think that I made or have made a mistake of some kind in their lives. There are really people who try to question Me as if I owe them an explanation for what I do or have done in and/or to their lives. What such people need to understand is the fact that as The Creator, The King of the Universe, Almighty Jehovah, and Yahweh, I do not have to explain Myself or anything that I do to anyone. Oh, I realize that a lot of what I might do and/or allow can be confusing for a lot of people, hence the need for faith. Remember what Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen, which means to trust Me always, and you will be sure about the things that you hope for, and you will be sure in your minds about the things you cannot even see.

     Therefore children of Mine in CHRIST, the most important lesson that you can ever learn is to trust The Lord JESUS and Myself in and through all things in your life. Whenever you see Us at work in your life, just learn to go with whatever it might be at the time. We will never do anything to hurt anyone who belongs to Us. You are children of The Living GOD, and as such, you are under Our protection. GOD The Son loves you, God The Holy Spirit loves you, and GOD The Father also loves you, and each of you truly needs to get that through your mind, soul, and heart. Whatever I do in your life is always to lift or edify you and not to harm or tear you down for any reason. Even when you do not understand what is happening around you, fear not, for We are indeed still with you. You cannot understand what I do or am doing in your life, so just roll with it, and blessed you will be for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Do Not Be Discouraged in Prayer

 Tuesday

January 14, 2025

"Do Not Be Discouraged in Prayer"

     There are times when some of you begin to pray, and it seems that nothing is happening, but believe Me, something is indeed taking place. Remember Me mentioning about things that might be taking place in the unseen realm when you pray, which does take place quite often? Just think about all of the people praying everywhere and the battles that must be taking place because of what is happening that you cannot possibly see. Forces in the unseen realm are always trying to interfere with the faith and belief of the believer, trying to make them doubt. When doubt is able to be introduced into the picture, it weakens the power of one's prayers. People will very often pray about a certain matter and then begin to look for an answer immediately. But when there seems to be nothing but silence, that is when doubt begins to rear its ugly head. There are times when it might take time for results to be seen, especially when there is a struggle over control by unseen powers. I see and hear the people's faith deteriorate whenever an answer to a prayer is delayed, so do not allow it to happen to you.

     Now pay attention My people to what I am saying, because some of the greatest prayers ever prayed and were answered were not answered immediately. One of the best gifts to possess as far as where prayers are concerned is patience. Remember, there are many things for which a person can pray, and many ways some of them can be answered, so it would be foolish to limit the answers to any prayer. Learn therefore My dears the importance of patience when it comes to prayers, and how blessed you will be if you do. Some people will sometimes become so impatient that they go about trying to answer their own prayers, which is never the best solution. I cannot stress enough just how important it is to keep the faith as you pray because there will be forces that are trying to make you doubt that anything is happening. The battles that often take place in the unseen realm are often truly spectacular, but Our side will always eventually win. So be strong and be patient My beloveds, and blessed you will be for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

GOD Does Care

 Monday 

January 13, 2025

"GOD Does Care"

     As difficult as it might be to believe or realize sometimes, given the tragic events that often take place around the world, I do care about mankind. This is especially true of those of you who are Mine in CHRIST JESUS. I have seen, and am seeing, the destruction from the fires presently in California, and also in other parts of the world, as well as the different weather-related destruction that has occurred in the past. I am even aware of the lives that have been lost because many of them are here with The Lord JESUS and Myself. This place called Earth is a fallen world since the sin of Adam and Eve, and therefore cannot and will not be perfect, which is something that a lot of people tend to fail to understand. One of the biggest delusions a person can make is believing that when they receive JESUS as Lord and Savior, life is going to get easier, and many become disappointed when it does not. What The Lord JESUS does give through The Holy Spirit is the strength and the power to face and overcome anything that tries to derail them, for Greater is He Who is in you than he who is in the world.

     So now listen therefore to Me My beloveds, know that I do care about the death and destruction that occurs in this world almost daily, especially those of you who belong to Me. Please be mindful of the fact that this is not and was never meant to be a Utopia on this present Earth. There is one coming some day when JESUS comes back and begins His eternal rule. But for now, you have been given the strength and the power to be an overcomer in whatever you have to face. This is one reason why it is not a good thing to store your treasures here on Earth, simply because they can all be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye. But if you were to store your treasures in Heaven, then nothing or no one would be able to destroy them. My heart does go out to those who have ever lost anything that was important and precious to them, especially those things that cannot be replaced. Just try to be thankful if you are someone who has survived whatever you have had to face. Now may My grace, mercy, and peace be upon you as you rebuild your life, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

What Is Your Sacrifice?

 Sunday

January 12, 2025

"What Is Your Sacrifice?"

     It often seems that when I ask people to sacrifice themselves on the Altar, they think that something horrible is going to happen to them. It is as if they do not trust Me to treat them fairly. Oh, they say that they want to be of service in the Kingdom, but they want to do so on their own terms and not on Mine. The Lord JESUS never questioned anything that I asked Him to do, except for when He was sweating blood in the garden before He was captured. Even then, He said that not His will be done but rather let My will be done. That is the perfect obedience I am looking for when it comes to people sacrificing themselves for the cause. As a certain Minister was saying today, people want to try to offer up anything else at all on the Altar besides themselves when they come to Me, and that dog just will not hunt as the saying goes. I am not interested in things, I am only interested in the person themselves. Remember, I, Almighty Jehovah, gave My Only Begotten Son as a sacrifice on the cross, so what makes you think that you can withhold anything from Me?

     So therefore, My children, if indeed you claim to be a child of Mine, then stop your playing around and get serious about serving Me. When I ask for a sacrifice on the Altar, make sure that you are the one I see and not a bunch of other stuff. I do not want to do anything to hurt any of you, and I do need for you to believe that. There is no need to fear what I am going to do, because all I want is to give you My best. Many of you claim that you want My best in JESUS' Name, but you do not want to give yourself up to Me. Most of you just want to be your own boss, so to speak, and you have very little to no interest in obeying Me whatsoever. How can any one of you profess to be a learner and a follower of JESUS CHRIST when you do not want to obey Me or Him? So think about it My children and see if you want to be serious about giving yourself to Me, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Beware of the Devil

 Saturday

January 11, 2025

"Beware of the Devil"

     With all of the good that occurs and is occurring in the world, there is still a great deal of evil that is also taking place in various places. Satan and his followers can sense that things are changing and that more people are beginning to come to The Holy Spirit, thus to The Lord JESUS, than at any previous time. There are some people who do try to see the good in everyone, even though there are some people in which no good can be found. For one reason or another, some people in this world just tend to gravitate towards evil and the darkness just as those who love the good and the Light do. There are also certain cases, that even when things are somewhat uncertain, The Holy Spirit will move to draw people toward The Lord JESUS CHRIST, Who is The Light of the world. Those who realize that this is no joke and that one must always be ready for the deceptiveness of satan, will not be fooled or taken by surprise.

     From this day forth, oh child of Mine, always be conscientious of the fact that as it is written in 1 Peter 5:8-9, (8) Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (9) Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. As long as this present dispensation exists My children, the struggle between good and evil and darkness and light will continue. It goes on daily and blessed are those of you who continue to fight the good fight. So many people tend to be oblivious to what is happening around them, so blessed are you who remain always aware. Stay strong and stay vigilant therefore My beloveds, and remember this from Ephesians 6:11-18, (11) Put on the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (13) Therefore take up the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (14) Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (15) and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. (16) In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; (17) and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD, (18) praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and blessed you will be for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Put Away Your Selfishness

 Friday

January 10, 2025

"Put Away Your Selfishness"

     One of the worst things a person can be or become is a person whose main purpose in life is to be a pleaser of self, and someone who is only interested in satisfying oneself. He or she who tends to be solely concentrated on pleasing, satisfying, and serving themselves are as far from being learners and followers of CHRIST JESUS as they could possibly be. The Lord JESUS was never interested in serving, pleasing, or satisfying just Himself, which He could easily have done. What people need to understand is that The Lord JESUS did not have to endure the merciless suffering that He did, especially for a people who would not appreciate it. But for the sakes of those who did appreciate and who would receive Him, He laid down His life. Remember what JESUS Himself once said to His Disciples in Matthew 20:26-28, (26) Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. (27) And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— (28) just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

     Therefore, child of Mine in CHRIST, if JESUS CHRIST is indeed your Lord and Savior, then begin to act like it. There are entirely too many people who are out to please, satisfy, and serve themselves, which I will say again, was not the heart of The Lord JESUS. I am not saying that you have to completely forget about yourself, but that you should also think about others as well. Some of you have done very well as far as looking out for and trying to love others, and you have made Me very proud. It is always nice to see people who listen to what I have had to say. Obeying Me is one of the many things that JESUS was willing and anxious to do, even unto His death on the cross. Tell Me, how many of you would have been willing to suffer and die for people who did not appreciate who you were? Blessed are you who can leave your self-centeredness behind, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

Learning to Be Thankful

 Thursday

January 09, 2025

"Learning to Be Thankful"

     Some people tend to always be thankful for the bigger blessings in their lives, but seldom do they consider the smaller ones. Just to be able to wake up each morning and begin a new day is a blessing, even though I understand that many of you will often begin and end the day in pain. It is a blessing that more of you have shelter from the weather than not, even though the shelter you have might not be everything you want or desire. You can be thankful for whatever food there might be to sustain you in your times of need. There are more people than you know or realize who are going hungry each and every day, even as I try to feed as many as I can. It would be My desire to see more people getting involved with helping others in this endeavor. One can also learn to be thankful for the clothes they have to wear and the shoes for their feet, of which some people have more than they could ever or would ever need.

     Yes, My children, there are many things for which one should be thankful if only one would learn to have a thankful heart. It can be so easy to take the little blessings in one's life for granted and blessed are those who have learned to give thanks for and be thankful for every single little thing in their lives. It has been said that GOD loves a thankful heart, and yes My children, I certainly do. Many people can be thankful for the vehicles they get to drive, realizing that countless others do not have anything of their own to drive. A lot of times in life people find it difficult to be thankful because certain things might not be exactly what they want or wanted, which is not how a thankful heart behaves. As you live your life this day, give some thought as to what you might be thankful for, and give thanks. Blessed is everyone who finds themselves being thankful for even the smallest of things, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Doing Unto Others

 Wednesday

January 08, 2025

"Doing Unto Others"

     Have you ever seen people who tend to look down their noses at other people because they see other people as being less than them? Many of these types of individuals just love to think more highly of themselves than they ought to, and they often think that they are too high and mighty and so much better than others. They very often do not realize that everything they have and everything they are can be taken away in the twinkling of an eye, any time of the day or night. As some people have come to find out, a person can be on top of the world one day and end up being on the bottom the next day. Life truly does have a way of evening or balancing things out in one way or another, which My Word calls sowing and reaping. Those who often sow evilness, discord, wickedness, and such, will very often reap the same if not more, so one should always be careful about the type of seeds they are sowing.

     So from this day forth My beloveds, if indeed you do profess to be a child of The Living GOD in CHRIST, learn how to treat your fellow man or woman the way that you would like to be treated. Even if you are someone who clearly does have more than other people you know, instead of putting them down and stepping on and/or over them, why not try to help pick them up and giving them a helping hand? Blessed is the man or woman who can look at another person and truly sympathize and/or empathize with them. So very often in this life, people will tend to ignore someone as they are on their way up in life, not realizing that they might see some of those people as they are falling back down, so to speak. As a matter of fact, some of those same people who were so high and mighty might end up needing to receive help if things just happens to get reversed. As I said earlier, life sometimes does have a way of balancing the scales, so be careful how you treat your fellow neighbors. Blessed therefore are those of you who will take this message to heart today, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Waiting on a New World

 Tuesday

January 07, 2025

"Waiting on a New World"

     Yes, My children, most of you who are Mine have come to realize that this present earth is not your real home, and as such, it is filled with sickness, disease, sin, and such. The sinfulness of mankind is still prevalent, and many of you have to face certain situations you would not have had to face if the world had remained as it was when I first created it, but it did not remain that way. Many of you are and/or have had to suffer the consequences of this fallen world. Many of you are fighting certain different types of illnesses that can only be healed supernaturally and/or through Spiritual warfare. I realize there are a lot of you who hurting and/or in a great deal of pain of some kind, and I have heard your prayers. Because this world is in the shape that it is, there are spiritual battles taking place daily of which you are not aware. I know some see this as one big joke, but that will change when the truth hits them head-on.

      Therefore, My children, I am asking those of you who do know the truth to just take your stand and continue on in faith. Be aware of the fact that sometimes the pain you have to endure is not because you cannot be healed, but rather because there is a spiritual battle taking place in the unseen realm. True, there are times when such battles actually do take time. Know that one day everything will be new and there will be no more sickness, pain, evil, or sin to deal with, and oh what a beautiful day that will be. But for now My beloveds, just remember to keep on walking by faith and not by sight. Many of you will indeed be put to the test trying to break your faith, but hold on no matter what. Always keep in mind that Greater is He Who is in you than he who is in the world, and the victory will surely be yours, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN

Liars

 Monday

January 06, 2025

"Liars"

     Have you ever noticed how much easier it is for some people to lie rather than just tell the truth about something? This tends to be the case with people who know and maybe even love one another, as well as people who might be complete strangers. It is sometimes easier to lie to a stranger than to a loved one, but a lie is a lie no matter what. People will often claim that telling the truth about something just complicates things, and sometimes it might. These are obviously people who have not done very much lying, because nothing can complicate things as much as lying does. Also, have you ever noticed how difficult it is to believe someone who is a consummate or perpetual liar? Some people often see this as just being fun, but have they taken the time to consider what might happen if they truly need someone to believe what they are saying, but no one wants to believe that they are telling the truth? And have you ever noticed how a person who is a liar themselves finds it easier to accept the lies that others tend to spew? It is much like the old saying, birds of a feather flock together, and all because they understand one another.

     Therefore child of Mine, be or become the type of person who abhors lying and liars because The Lord JESUS was not a liar, and you want to be a learner and follower of JESUS CHRIST. Lying is indeed something that I detest because of the damage and the recklessness it can cause. Lying has been the cause of wars, broken homes, broken marriages, broken hearts, and other types of confusion. Blessed are those of you who are lovers of truth, even when the truth may be difficult to tell. People tend to make all kinds of excuses for telling lies, and when it really comes down to where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, all they really turn out to be are excuses. How often have you seen truly good things result from lies and lying without eventually causing some type of harm? The truth can often be spoken and then dealt with, whereas a lie tends to have tentacles hanging all over the place, causing a person to either become a good liar or one who will eventually just fall apart and tell the truth anyway. May you therefore be or become a person who can be trusted to tell the truth, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Does GOD Send People to Hell?

 Sunday

January 05, 2025

"Does GOD Send People to Hell?"

     Remember what I said on the second day of this year about trying to open the doors to the truth? Well, there will be no more hiding or tip-toeing around the truth My children. Those who do not want to hear the truth according to My Word had better just keep on listening to those Ministers, Preachers, and teachers who are behind the pulpits watering down My Word in an attempt to please man and not Me, Almighty Jehovah, and there are plenty of them out there. Some of you are under the impression that I am The One Who sends a person to hell, but that is not true at all. The truth of the matter is, that people actually end up sending themselves to hell by the way they live and the way they choose to ignore My Word. I am the One Who tries to keep people out of hell by giving them a blueprint in My Word, on how to keep people from going to hell. People can avoid hell by 1, receiving The Lord JESUS CHRIST as their Lord and Savior, and 2, reading and obeying what My Word says. Remember that Romans 5:19 says, (19) For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam), many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one Man (JESUS CHRIST), many will be established as righteous.

     Therefore children of Mine in CHRIST, it is surely not of My doing that anyone will have to go to hell, that will be determined by the person themselves. They are the ones who make that choice daily. If My Word says to do one thing and someone makes the choice to do the opposite, then who is making the choice to disobey My Word? There are a lot of people who are under pressure to either go against My Word and be popular or to just obey My Word and be unpopular. When it comes to things like clothing, popular and unpopular is one thing, but as far as one's soul is concerned, it is better to be on the side of the unpopular. Now of course those who have come to The Lord JESUS and who obey Him are the way to keep a person out of hell. Let Me ask this question; can someone truly claim to be Mine but yet seldom obey anything The Lord JESUS has said? It is not Us therefore Who is responsible for sending people to hell, but rather the person themselves through their disobedience. So now may you be one who is obedient to My Word and is blessed for so doing, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN

Adultery and Fornication

 Saturday

January 04, 2025

"Adultery and Fornication"

     The next truths I will mention are the truth of not committing adultery, and/or not committing the act of fornication. In both cases, both are indeed bad and wrong, and it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth to think that such things could ever be considered to be good. One of the Ten Commandments in fact is, thou shalt not commit adultery, yet it does occur every day in this world. And when it comes to committing fornication, that also goes on daily with some people not even seeing it as being a big deal. Television, movies, books, and such all have a lot to do with the corrupting of the fabric of society. It is so sad to see, as well as the harm that such behaviors can cause to hurt people. Families are often hurt, and/or destroyed, all because no one seems to care about the damage that such behavior can cause in the lives of certain people, especially when children are involved. Sin can be deceiving in so many ways, and the destruction it can cause is often unbelievable.

     So as you think about such things as adultery and fornication, do not allow yourself to fall into sin's trap of television, movies, and such, making you believe that there is nothing wrong with such behaviors. Also, as you think about such things as that, do not be one who follows the crowd as if everyone is doing it, because that is never really true. Always be mindful of the fact that when such things as adultery and/or fornication are involved, someone does eventually get hurt. Too many people just run around believing that these sexual immoralities mean very little to nothing, but again, that is not the truth. Those who allow themselves to be steered off-course, are proven to be weak, and people without a conscience, or else they would not be able to do such devious things to others. In My Word, there is quite a lot to be said about adultery, so that it should not be dismissed without giving it some thought. My Word also has a great deal to say about fornication, so once again, that should not be seen as anything good. So may you be lovers of truth and righteousness, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.

AMEN
