~Our Lives Should Lead Souls To Christ~
“Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: so that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come…”
{1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 KJV}
The Thessalonian believers were young in Faith, yet their lives rang Loudly with The Gospel of ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth. The Apostle Paul thanks ~GOD~ not for what they claimed, but for what their Faith openly produced for [ALL] to see. Their Works of Faith, Labor of Love, and Patience of Hope were on public display throughout their daily lives. Real Faith Always Moves, Real Love Always Serves, and Real Hope Always Endures…
Their Faith, Trust, and Belief in ~JESUS~ was Unmistakable and Undeniable. They Repented and turned to The True ~GOD~ in Heaven from false idols here on earth. Not halfway, Not secretly, but Completely and Publicly. They embraced Christ even in affliction, and yet their hearts were filled with Joy of The Holy Ghost. That Joy wasn’t based upon comfort; it was Rooted in Assurance…
So Powerful was their Testimony that The Word of The Lord “SOUNDED OUT” from them. They didn’t need a platform or a pulpit to preach from because their Transformed Lives became a Living Example of The Gospel. All of this came from The–One–Great–Hope in waiting for ~GOD’s~ Only Begotten Son from Heaven, ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth, who was Raised from the dead and Delivers His followers from the wrath to come…
This passage of scripture reminds us that Christianity is [NOT] merely believing in the right Biblical things, but it’s Actively Living a Changed Life that Reflects the teachings of The Holy Bible while waiting and watching with Great Anticipation for our Lord and Savior’s Glorious–Triumphant–Return!!!
Prayer:
Father ~JESUS~,
Lord—I thank You for Your Free Gift of Pardon, Grace, and Peace by Your Finished Works on The Cross at Calvary…
Please help my Faith [NOT] to be just empty words, but instead Heavenly Works through Obedience to Your Sovereign Authority…
Teach me to Live and Love Sacrificially in ways that cost me something, and to endure hardship with Hope as I wait for Your Return from Heaven…
Turn my heart and mind fully from each and every false idol here in this wicked–sinful–world, and set my Life apart from Non–Believers to Serve and Glorify You and Only You, The One–And–Only–True–Living–Loving–Holy ~GOD~…
May my Testimony Sound Out, Not for My glory, but for ~YOUR’S~…
I rejoice in the Fact that You have Delivered [ALL] of Your Believers and Followers from the wrath to come, and I Trust in Your Promised Return with Confidence and Great Joy…
In Your Precious–Holy–And–Most Powerful–Name ~JESUS~, Amen…

👑 Share ~JESUS~ With The World 👑
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth…”
{Acts 1:8 KJV}
👑 ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth [NEVER] commanded His followers to be famous, eloquent, or wealthy. He did, however, command them to be witnesses of His Teachings, Miracles, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. A witness simply tells what they have seen and heard. In The Holy Bible, ~JESUS~ promises that we do Not witness in our own strength. The Holy Ghost gives us the power to speak the Truth, to live Faithfully, and to point others to Christ…
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven…” {Matthew 5:16 KJV}
👑 Witnessing is Not only done with words, but also with The Light of ~GOD~. ~JESUS~ tells us to let our Actions, Love, and Obedience to Him open doors for The Gospel to be shared. A life changed by Christ becomes Evidence that ~GOD~ is Real and His Salvation is True…
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him…”
{2 Corinthians 5:20-21 KJV}
👑 The Holy Bible tells us that we are Ambassadors for Christ. An Ambassador speaks on behalf of their King, [NOT] themselves. When we share The Gospel, we carry ~GOD’s~ message of Reconciliation and Salvation. This is the True–Fact that sinners [WILL] be made Righteous with ~GOD~ by the Shed–Blood of ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth on The Cross at Calvary and His Resurrection from The Tomb, provided they accept His Free Gift of [PARDON] and place their Faith and Trust in Him…
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise…”
{Proverbs 11:30 KJV}
👑 The Holy Bible tells us plainly, that Souls matter because eternity matters. We may Not see immediate results, but ~GOD~ uses Faithful witnesses to plant seeds that grow in His perfect time…
Summary:
The First thing that we [ALL] should do is to Fast and Pray asking ~GOD~ to lead us to the people that He has removed the scales and spiritual–blindness from in preparation to hear His Gospel. Only the people that He has already started calling to Himself will be willing to talk to us about ~JESUS~. Anyone else will Not be receptive and will probably just walk away or some people may even get very confrontational at the mere mention of the name ~JESUS~…
The best way to witness to anyone is to let them see ~JESUS~ in us. If we study ~GOD’s~ Holy Word and ask Him to help us to apply His Wisdom to our own lives and to let everyone we come into contact with see Him in us, then talking to them about The Gospel of ~JESUS~ Christ becomes much easier…
Today, ask ~GOD~ for opportunities and the courage to shine, speak, and serve. The same Savior who saved us desires to save others through our witness and testimony…
Prayer:
Father ~JESUS~,
Lord—Thank You for saving my Soul by Your Crucifixion and Resurrection…
Please Help me to live as a light in this wicked–sinful–world and to speak Boldly when You open a door of opportunity to share Your Gospel…
Have Your Holy Ghost, use my words and my life to point others to You…
Make me a Faithful witness, for Your Glory…
In Your Precious–Holy–And–Most Powerful–Name ~JESUS~, Amen…

~Pray Fervently To The Lord~
James, a servant of The Almighty ~GOD~ of Israel and of The Lord ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth, is conveying a message from ~GOD~ to Jews and Christians via a letter that he scribed to the twelve tribes of Israel. This letter is also intended for those of us Gentiles that have placed our Faith and Trust in Christ because we have been grafted into the house of Israel and their Eternal Covenants by The Shed Blood of our Lord and Savior ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth on The Cross at Calvary…
The following is the final chapter of this practical, no–nonsense letter which emphasizes ~GOD’s~ will for [ALL] of us…
“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you…”
{James 5:1-6 KJV}
Verse Breakdown:
📜 James pronounces a prophetic [woe] on wealthy landowners who get rich by defrauding and oppressing their workers, especially poor day–laborers who live job–to–job. Their hoarded wealth will rot, their luxurious clothes will be eaten by moths, and their gold and silver will “rust” as a testimony against them in the day of judgment…
This passage of scripture is especially powerful stating that the unpaid wages themselves “cry out” to ~GOD~ echoing Abel’s blood cries from the ground, and ~GOD~ called “the Lord of sabaoth”or Lord of hosts/armies hears the cry of the oppressed. These rich people live in luxury while murdering the innocent most likely through economic injustice and/or corrupt courts. This is one of the strongest denunciations of exploitative wealth in the entire New Testament of The Holy Bible…
“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy…”
{James 5:7-11 KJV}
Verse Breakdown:
📜 After the strong warning to the rich, James turns back to the oppressed believers “brethren” and tells them to be patient and Not to take revenge. The Lord is coming soon as Judge. He uses two illustrations to make this point…
The farmer who patiently waits for both the early [autumn] and latter [spring] rains before harvest…
The Old Testament prophets and Job who suffered yet remained faithful to ~GOD~. The phrase “the Judge standeth before the door” means that Christ’s return and judgment are imminent. Believers are to strengthen their hearts, avoid grumbling against each other, and remember that ~GOD~ rewarded Job’s endurance with restoration and showed Himself “very pitiful, and of tender mercy”…
“But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation…”
{James 5:12 KJV}
Verse Breakdown:
📜 This verse echoes ~JESUS’~ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. Christians are to be so truthful that elaborate oaths are unnecessary. Simply say “yes” or “no” and mean it. Swearing by anything [Heaven, earth, Jerusalem, or your head] was a common Jewish tradition to make promises seem more binding, but ~JESUS~ forbids this for anyone who believes in Him. Integrity of speech is a mark of The Glorious Eternal Kingdom of ~GOD~…
“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins…”
{James 5:13-20 KJV}
Verse Breakdown:
📜 This last passage of scripture is one of the most practical and often–quoted passages on Prayer and Church life…
If you are Afflicted, then Pray to ~GOD~…
If you are Happy, then Sing Praises to ~GOD~…
If you are Sick, then Call the elders for Anointing with Oil and Prayer in ~JESUS’~ Almighty Name…
[The Olive Oil is both Medicinal and Symbolic of The Holy Spirit and the Healing is by the Power and Glory of The Lord, Not the Oil]…
The “prayer of faith” can bring physical healing and forgiveness of sins which shows us the close link between sin, sickness, and restoration in some cases…
Mutual confession and intercessory prayer are powerful “availeth much”…
Elijah is given as an example of an ordinary man whose fervent prayer changed the weather for 3½ years…
Finally, restoring a wandering believer is an act of great mercy which saves them from spiritual death and covers a multitude of sins…
Summary:
~GOD~ fiercely opposes those who get rich by oppressing the poor…
Suffering believers must wait patiently for Christ’s return and imminent judgment…
Live with such Integrity that oaths are Unnecessary!!!
The Church Must be a Praying, Confessing, Healing, and Restoring Community of Believers!!!
Righteous, fervent prayer is incredibly powerful, and leading a Brother and/or Sister in Christ that has strayed from the flock back into the fold is one of the Greatest acts of Love we can do for one another…
James ends this letter the same way that he scribed it. Very Direct, Practical, and Urgent. Calling on [ALL] of ~GOD’s~ Children to have Genuine Faith and Trust in our Heavenly Father that shows itself through our Ethical–Living, Patient–Endurance, Truthful–Speech, and Fervent–Prayer until our Lord and Savior ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth returns…
Prayer:
Father ~JESUS~,
Lord—Thank You for the Eternal Truth of Your Holy Word…
Please teach me to live with Unwavering–Faith, Patience, and Sincere–Integrity…
Help me to Trust in Your Devine Justice, especially when life feels unfair…
Strengthen my heart and let it rest in Your Tender Mercy as I Patiently wait upon Your timing…
Cleanse my Speech so that Every Word that departs from my mouth Honors and Glorifies You…
Lord, please make me a person of Fervent and Faithful Prayer, Always Joyfully Praising You for All of the Blessings that You have bestowed upon me…
Help me to seek Your face in Sickness, Trials, and Honest Repentance when I fall from Grace…
Give me love and compassion for those who have strayed from Your Fellowship and help me to lead them back to You…
Use me as Your hands and feet to bring Hope and Restoration to others…
Thank You for Listening to my Prayers and Supplications Every Time I call upon You…
In Your Precious–Holy–And–Most Powerful–Name ~JESUS~, Amen…
Posted on11/23/2025|Comments Off on “The Thanksgiving Psalm”
~El Hashamayim~
“O give thanks unto the God of heaven: For his mercy endureth for ever…”
{Psalm 136:26 KJV}
This Psalm is known as The [Great Hallel] or The [Thanksgiving Psalm] in the Jewish and Christian Faiths. It is structured as a litany, meaning a responsive hymn in which every verse ends with the same refrain, “For his mercy endureth for ever”. The Hebrew phrase is [Ki Le’olam Chasdo] “for His steadfast love endures forever”…
Verse Breakdown:
👑 “O give thanks”—This is an imperative command or urgent invitation to [ALL] people to express our gratitude to our ~GOD~ for His acts from creation to the deliverance of Israel, and now it culminates in a final call to Thanksgiving for [ALL] of His Blessings that He has bestowed upon us…
👑 “unto the God of heaven”—This title emphasizes our Almighty ~GOD’s~ supreme sovereignty. “God of heaven” in Hebrew[El Hashamayim] is a name used especially after the Babylonian exile to distinguish The One–And–Only–True–Living–Loving–Almighty ~GOD~ Of The–Holy–Bible from the pagan false gods of [ALL] the earth–bound nations. It lifts up Praise to our Lord and Savior high above local, national, and world deities to The Eternal Creator who rules and reigns over [ALL] the universe that He spoke into existence…
👑 “for his mercy endureth for ever”—The word translated here as “mercy” is from the Hebrew word [Chesed]. It means steadfast love, covenant loyalty, lovingkindness, faithful mercy, and grace. Something far deeper than fleeting pity…
The phrase translated here as “Endureth for ever” is from the Hebrew word [Le’olam] which means it is everlasting, unchanging, and unbreakable. No matter what Israel or any believer has experienced or is currently experiencing, our ~GOD’s~ faithful love never runs out, never expires, and never fails…
Summary:
In the Jewish faith, this Psalm is recited at Passover as part of The Hallel Psalms and was most likely sung by ~JESUS~ and His Apostles at The Last Supper in the upper room. In Christian worship, it remains as one of the greatest hymns of gratitude, reminding us believers in ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth that every blessing including but Not limited to creation, redemption, and daily bread flows from a love that will never let us go Nor forsake us…
This verse is the closing summons for [ALL] of us in this Eternal Psalm to thank our Almighty Sovereign ~GOD~ of the entire universe, because the one thing that we can Always count on No matter what, is that His steadfast, covenant–keeping love endures Forever…
Prayer:
Father ~JESUS~,
Lord—Our ~GOD~ of Heaven, I thank You for Your mercy that Never ends…
Thank You for loving me with a steadfast love that does Not change with circumstances or seasons…
Please help me to rest in Your faithfulness today and everyday…
Teach me to see Your mercy in both the big and small moments of my life…
Fill my heart with gratitude, and let my life reflect Your everlasting love…
In Your Precious–Holy–And–Most Powerful–Name ~JESUS~, Amen…

👑 “And thou hast healed me”—Our Almighty ~GOD~ answered King David’s Prayer by bringing healing to him. This healing could have been Physical [from an injury or illness], Emotional or Spiritual [from mental despair or sin], or Situational [deliverance from a dangerous crisis or enemy threats]…
The word “healed” means restoration to wholeness. It underscores ~GOD’s~ power to save and renew and especially emphasizes that ~HE~ is The [ONLY] source of restoration…

~Righteousness Overcomes Evil~
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come…”
{Matthew 24:4-14 KJV}
In the quiet moments, when you feel unseen,
When the world spins fast, and you are lost in between,
Know that your words, no matter how small,
Have the power to echo, to break through it all…

It carries the weight of all you have been through…
In whispers or shouts, in laughter or tears,
It speaks for your heart, your dreams, and your fears…
So, speak up, stand tall, let the world hear,
For your voice holds courage, it is bold, and it is clear…
In a chorus of millions, it rises above—
A song of resilience, of hope, and of love…
No silence can dim it, no noise can compete,
Your voice is a rhythm, a steady heartbeat…
In the grand tapestry, you weave your own thread—
A voice that inspires, a voice that leads…
So never doubt that you have something to say—
Your voice matters, every step of the way…

{Psalm 71:18 KJV}
This verse is a heartfelt plea from an aging believer that is expressing a deep burning desire to remain faithful and useful to ~GOD~ even in their old age. This verse also emphasizes a longing for ~GOD’s~ presence and strength enabling them to continue proclaiming His power and faithfulness to the current generation as well as future ones…
Verse Breakdown:
📜 “Now also when I am old and greyheaded”—This sets the context of vulnerability, requiring even more dependence upon ~GOD~.

The believer expresses a strong desire to demonstrate ~GOD’s~ strength and power to the current generation…
📜 “And thy power to every one that is to come”—Beyond the present, the believer desires to leave a legacy of faith, ensuring that future generations also hear of ~GOD’s~ power and deeds, through teaching, storytelling, and example.

Posted on06/29/2025|Comments Off on “Authentic Prayer And Devotion To ~GOD~”
~Seek GOD Daily~
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him…”
{Matthew 6:5-8 KJV}
In this passage of scripture ~JESUS~ teaches us about the proper attitude and practice of prayer…
👑 Avoid Hypocrisy in Prayer:
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly…”
{Matthew 6:5-6 KJV}
~JESUS~ criticizes the [hypocrites] who pray publicly in synagogues and/or on the streets loudly to gain admiration from others. Their motive is to be seen, heard, and praised by people instead of seeking a genuine connection with ~GOD~. He says, “They have their reward,” meaning their only reward is the fleeting approval of others. Instead, ~JESUS~ instructs believers in Him to pray privately, in a “closet” [a private room or quiet place], focusing upon a sincere, personal relationship with ~GOD~. Private prayer demonstrates humility and authenticity, and ~GOD~, who sees this secret devotion, will “reward thee openly” with spiritual blessings and/or answers to your prayers…
👑 Avoid Vain Repetitions:
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him…”
{Matthew 6:7-8 KJV}
~JESUS~ warns us against using “vain repetitions” like the “heathen”[non–believers or pagans] who regularly rely upon lengthy, repetitive, and vain prayers, thinking their many words will persuade ~GOD~ in their favor. Such prayers lack heart and True meaning. Instead, ~JESUS~ emphasizes that ~GOD~ already knows what we need before we ask. Prayer should be simple, sincere, and trusting, [NOT] a religious–ritual of empty words…
Summary:
Sincerity—Prayer is about a genuine personal connection with ~GOD~, Not an award winning performance for others…
Humility—Private prayer reflects a humble heart, prioritizing ~GOD’s~ approval over human praise…
Trust—~GOD~ knows our needs, so prayer should be heartfelt and straightforward, relying upon His wisdom and Not ours or anyone else’s…
This passage of scripture encourages believers in ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth to approach prayer with authenticity, focusing only upon ~GOD~ The Father rather than external appearances and big–long–fancy–hard–to–pronounce–words…
Posted on05/24/2025|Comments Off on “King David’s Prayer For Protection”
👑King David Prayed In Battle👑
“Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: Preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; Continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah…”
{Psalm 140:1-3 KJV}
This passage of scripture from The–Holy–Bible is a prayer attributed to King David, seeking ~GOD’s~ divine protection from his enemies…
Verse Breakdown:
👑 “Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: Preserve me from the violent man”
David pleads for ~GOD’s~ deliverance and protection from individuals characterized as “evil” and “violent”. These are people who actively harm others through deceit, malice, and/or physical aggression. The plea reflects his total reliance upon ~GOD~ as the ultimate source of safety and justice for himself and the nation of Israel…
👑 “Which imagine mischiefs in their heart”
The enemies are described as scheming, with their hearts full of malicious intentions. The word “mischiefs” implies evil plans or harmful schemes. This indicates that their actions stem from a deliberate, internal disposition toward wrongdoing…
👑 “Continually are they gathered together for war”
These adversaries are [NOT] acting alone or sporadically; they unite together and persistently prepare for conflict. The mention of “war” implies organized hostility aimed at causing massive destruction and physical harm…
👑 “They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips”
This vivid metaphor compares their words to a serpent’s sharpened fangs, delivering venomous harm. The “adder” [a type of venomous snake] emphasizes the deadly nature of their speech—referring to slander, lies, and destructive words that wound others…
👑 “Selah”
This term, found in The–Holy–Bible, is thought to be a musical or liturgical marker, possibly indicating a pause for reflection or emphasis. It invites the reader to meditate on the weight of what was just expressed…
Context And Meaning:
