Overcoming Bitterness with Love

Image
  31  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  32  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.   Ephesians 4:31-32   Bitterness is a poison that will enter your mind, body, and soul,  it will always have ill effects on your person, changing who you are, and messing with who you are supposed to be.   Once the “root” of bitterness takes hold of you administering its venom, it does not want to let go, because it knows it can kill you.  Yes, bitterness is established within us in many forms, from physical complications, mental illnesses, to the very heart of our spirits, and yes, it can kill you if you allow it to.  It is a demon that prowls looking for those it can devour with its bite.  So, we ask the question:  How is it that God allows bitterness to make its way into our lives?  Is t...

Fear : Bondage of a False Truth

Image
  "Fear is the bubble of bondage surrounding the people of God (His Church), that is stopping us from uniting to do God's work." What does this mean? Fear lies and deceives us into a false belief of who we are in Christ, what God wants for us, why we should or should not do as God wants us to do. Look at the past year and what was the biggest player in the evil within it? The answer is FEAR. There has been so much fear from the pandemic, fires, bad weather, political & racial unrest, a heightening fear of death, and losing all that we have as far as the freedoms we have to the keeping of our jobs. False Evidence Appearing to be Right = FEAR , this is the only acronym that I have found describing what this bondage is like. This is a fabrication of the mind that hurts you mentally, while it tries to creep its way into the deepest part of our soul. This is what causes the bondage within us that can cause us physical, mental, and even spiritual anguish if allowed in...

Thanksgiving & Praise 2020

  Thanksgiving & Praise 2020   First, you may be asking yourself, what should Thanksgiving look like in the year 2020?   Let us take a look at the year that has changed so many of our lives, and still continues to.   Since Thanksgiving Day is almost here, we need to start this week and end this week with thanksgiving for what we have gained and remember the challenges we have faced, to be able to THANK and PRAISE GOD for getting us through each hour of each day of this past year to now.   We have faced many things including loss of family members, a pandemic, loss of jobs, loss of financial security, mental health issues, strange weather, chaos with civil unrest, political deceit, and some have even lost their faith.   So, you ask, how is it we can be thankful for anything?   Well, God does know that there are a lot of us that are having a problem with prayer, thanksgiving, and praising Him.   He understands each of our situations, howev...

God in the Center

  God in the Center "Not by our views or opinions but by God's grace and love are what leads the sinner to God's eternal goodness!" Pastor Jean Marie By putting God in the center of our lives, we look at the world in a different light. We look to the love of God and His goodness to save those who are still sinners and don’t know Him. Through God's forever gracious love we are to leave our opinions and judgments behind. Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but a...

Turning From Our Wicked Ways

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves , and pray , and seek my face , and turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin , and will heal their land . Through this season, we keep seeing this scripture, mainly on social media sites.  God is trying really hard to show His people what is going on, yet are we LISTENING?   Are we turning from our wicked ways? These are the questions that we, the church need to look at. I haven't been hearing compassion too much on social media or in public places that much. We need to love one ano ther as we love ourselves and love God above anything or anyone. Are we ACTING upon this scripture? Are we LOVING unconditionally? We need to REPENT from our ways and start sharing the love that God has given us in a very productive way, leading others who need Him to SALVATION.  Ezekiel 33:8-9 KJV When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, ...

Change Our World, Oh God!

We take life forgranted, thinking that we will be here forever.  We don't realize how fast our life can change nor if we will be around the next minute, hour, or day.We need to live each day like it's our last.  This is something we hear a lot.  But the truth cannot be ignored, we actually need to live each day as there is no end, so we can encourage others. Ask yourself what type of legacy do I want to leave, one that promotes my faith, my beliefs, and show the love of Christ to the world, or a life that is full of judging others, being self-righteous, and only being angry and hateful to others in the world?  Do you want to wake up and see the goodness of God every day and the people around you that need to be loved? Or are you looking at each day in dispair and who is going to put you in a bad mood for the day?  If you want to change but can't.  If you want the world to see you as a good person but you just don't know how to become that person.  I...

True Love

Love when used in general terms could mean many things.   It could be the love of a friend, sister, brother, father, mother, or any of your relatives.   It also could be as simple as a neighbor or acquaintance that you are just starting to get acquainted with.   Love as some see it is related to sex, in forms of gender or other means.   However, there is a definition of love that is truth and most accurate to all.   It comes as a gift and it is free, because the one who created all there is, has made it that way.   The only way to obtain or feel this kind of love is through salvation with an understanding of God and His Son, Jesus, whom He sent to suffer and die for all mankind through all eternity to the very end of the world. With God there is no color, no religion, no gender, and no reason not to love you for who you are and where you are.   He does not see your sins once you have given your life to Him through salvation.   This love is no...
