For our astruggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places! Eph 6:12

speculations. Thoughts, ideas, reasonings, philosophies, and false religions are the ideological forts in which men barricade themselves against God and the gospel (cf. 1Co 3:20). every thought captive. Emphasizes the total destruction of the fortresses of human and satanic wisdom and the rescuing of those inside from the damning lies that had enslaved them.

Father, I surrender to you, all things that distract from you today. Help me to see what is good, is right,is pure,is Holy. Let me see your goodness in the midst of a fallen world. May I see through your eyes. Amen

Government cannot save this country! Only through the Gospel, and the power of the Holy Spirit, can the transformation take place, one soul at a time. May we sow and reap with intensity, and may the kingdom of God, through Jesus Christ advance, for his Glory!

If we put our glasses on, it helps us focus. So too, when we read God’s word, and pray, it helps focus on what is important in our lives. The things of this world will fade away.

Scripture says, “Life is like like withering Grass”. In a blink of an eye, our time on this earth is gone. Help us to use our time wisely, Oh Lord.

So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
Psalms 90:12 NASB

Just as God chose Jesus, he chose us before the foundations of the earth. May we follow Jesus lead, and may the Father be well pleased in our service, and our proclaiming the Good News to both Jew and Gentile.

” behold , my servant whom I have chosen ; my beloved in whom my soul is well – pleased ; I will put my spirit upon Him , and he shall proclaim justice to the gentiles .

God’s Words, will last, for all of Eternity. This world, is passing away. We must put our hope, in something that will last forever. That hope is in God, through Jesus work on the cross, and his resurrection.

1 Peter 1:23-24

23 for you have been a born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

24 For, “ ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,

25 a BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.

Taken from Isaiah 40: 6-8.

Isaiah elaborated on how transitory humanity is: here today, gone tomorrow. People pass away like plants under the hot breath of the withering E wind. James used this illustration to teach the folly of trusting in material wealth ( Jas 1: 10 , 11 ). Peter used it to illustrate the passing nature of everything related to humanity ( 1Pe 1: 24 , 25 ).

We live in a world, that seems to be crumbling around us. Our hope, both in the future and now, in this present darkness, is that we have a friend in Jesus, who has overcome the world. Because of his reconciliation of us, with God the Father, we can live life, without the bondage of sin, and the freedom to share the Good News, with with all who would listen. The book of 1 John, calls us overcomers! Can I get an Amen?

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 NASB

I want you to stop and think about this, with me for a minute. Jesus’s way, is not the world’s way. We are called to Love our enemies, not destroy and overcome, like the worldly view. We overcome with Love and Compassion, just as Jesus did. Think about an enemy, or someone you are at war (there is strife of some sort) with right now. Show compassion and love to them, but don’t do it to get something. Do it because that is how Jesus did it. The rest is not up to us. God Bless you today.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
