Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Do not be anxious about anything. What is it that bothers you? It doesn’t matter how big or how small it is. Give it to God.

I suffered with psoriasis. I went through extensive daily treatments for a month and continued with prescription creams for a long time. I was told there was no cure, just treatment. After my skin was cleared, I was told, “You’ll be back.”

At home, my husband, Sid, would help me with the daily application of cream. When he would see a new outbreak on my skin, he would ask what was bothering me. We talked about my day. Sometimes it was some little annoyance and other times it was bigger than that.

As I identified my anxiety moments, I also began giving them to God. The breakouts on my skin began to lessen. That was over 30 years ago. I haven’t had any sign of psoriasis since then. God is so good.

I’m not saying I don’t have my anxious thoughts because there are times... That’s when I remember to give them to God. I start everyday with a reminder of how much God loves me and how much I love and trust him. As Dennis and I pray together, we give those annoying problems to God.

I encourage you to do the same thing. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

🙏Father, thank you for your love and your caring presence in my life. Thank you for taking my burdens and replacing them with your peace. You are awesome and I praise you now and forever. In the name of Jesus, amen. 🙏

I’ve been considering ordering their Joseph Smith III biography. But I do have Pragmatic Prophet; Also by Launius. Is Father Figure just an abbreviated version of Pragmatic Prophet? Would it be worth spending money on under the circumstances?

#TAKE TIME TO READ GOD’S WORD BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

Revelation 22:12 says: and, behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work. God is taking accounts of all the things you are doing. The things you do in the secret and in the opening, good or bad will all be rewarded. It is better to be rewarded for good than evil. If you are doing evil works like; lying, backbiting, rebelling against the work of God etc, repent of your sins and turn to God before it's too late. Keep on doing your righteous works if they are righteous.

John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This morning we headed to a church where Dennis will finish servicing two pianos. I will be working on the computer putting together some material for a class we’re teaching soon. I sent a text to the pastor asking about their Wi-Fi. He told me the password is Jesus Saves. I responded, He sure does. Jesus saves yet a lot of people and churches are dying. It seems that churches in America have a malignant tumor and it’s growing. The number of people attending churches have lessened. And it’s not just one denomination, it’s across the board. I began thinking of it like a cancer, yet unlike many forms of cancer, we have access to the antidote. GOD! He is the solution. The problem is that we don’t share him with others. When we truly love another, we’d do almost anything for them. God loves us a lot and sacrificed his son for us. Jesus loves us so much that he died on the cross taking our sins with him to the grave. But also, out of their great love for us, Jesus arose leaving only our sins buried. John 3:16 says that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. You can’t believe until you’ve been introduced. The antidote won’t work until someone gives it to you. Jesus said the great commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. If you love God that much then sharing him with others is the natural outpouring of that love. Unfortunately, we don’t do it enough. We don’t even share that deep love with the person in the pew next to us or behind us, let alone share it with a neighbor or stranger. There are hurting people all around us. 🎶 Everyday they pass me by; I can see it in their eyes, Empty people filled with care Headed who knows where. On they go through private pain Living fear to fear. Laughter hides their silent cries Only Jesus hears. People need the Lord, people need the Lord; At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door. People need the Lord, people need the Lord. When will we realize people need the Lord?🎶 Start by growing in your relationship with God. Read the scriptures, pray, praise, attend church…. Invite someone to grow with you. Then invite another. When will you realize people need the Lord? 🙏Father, thank you for loving me and wanting me to grow with you and for you. Help me to help others. Wherever your Spirit leads me today, help me be fully awake and ready to respond in love. Grant me courage to step out in faith to invite others to journey with me. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏

#TAKE TIME TO READ GOD’S WORD BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

James 1:17 makes it clear that every good gift and perfect gift is from the Lord. It also means that any gift that is not from God is not good and perfect. And, whatever that is not good and perfect is from the devil. God is good and perfect. Therefore, whatever He gives to you is also good and perfect. His gift to you is to the edifying of His house; not for your personal needs. That's where many gifted people miss it. The simple principle is this: when you put God's work first, God Himself will care for you.

Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Be joyful in hope…. So many times we withhold our rejoicing until we see the final results. We need to rejoice in the journey, not just the end result. I remember looking forward to graduation. We did all the planning, made sure everything necessary was accomplished. Party invitations were sent out. Decorations were in place. A backyard tent, tables, chairs, food to feed an army… It was an exciting, joyful journey filled with hope and expectation. We didn’t wait until graduation day for the joyful hope to enter. The day of celebration was a memorable one. Luke 15:10 tells us about graduation day as well. “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” We are in class, preparing for graduation day. Some lessons come easy while others are harder to learn. Either way, choose to be joyful and filled with hope along the way. …patient in affliction… far too often we become anxious when things appear to be going in the wrong direction. We let setbacks take away our joy and our hope. We need to realize that problems are part of the journey. They are part of our learning process. They actually help us if we but keep the faith. We need to let God’s love rule our hearts and minds. Being patient doesn’t mean we simply dismiss the problems; it means we actively and steadfastly endure learning and growing through them. …faithful in prayer. I’ve found that when I’m up against a brick wall, it’s best to ask God what he wants me to learn from this experience. As we pray, we keep ourselves fueled and aflame so that we can continue to move forward. As Christians and followers of Jesus Christ, we need to be alert and joyfully expect to experience God’s strength and comfort. We need to remember that we aren’t on this journey alone. He’s always got our backs. So don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” 🙏 Father, thank you for loving me and always being with me on my journey. Thank you for the love and joy that comes only from being in a relationship with you. As I begin today’s journey, I ask you to walk with me, leading me and filling me with your hope. Wherever your Spirit leads me today, help me to be fully awake and ready to respond in love. Grant me courage to step out in faith to share your love, hope, joy, and peace with all those you put in my path. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. 🙏

#TAKE TIME TO READ GOD’S WORD BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

Matthew 18:18 says: "truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be set loose in heaven". The word of God never lie. If you are a real believer, you can control the earth with the power of God in you. Whatever you say will become law because you are connected to heaven. Some believers don't really understand the power they carry on the inside. You can command your struggles to stop. You can command nature to begin to favour you, and they will obey your word. Start seeing yourself as God sees you. My prayer for you this night is that you will receive the grace and boldness to begin to speak to every situations in your life. As you begin, may they be subject to you in Jesus's Name I pray. Amen.

Luke 6 Good morning, as I began reading in Luke this morning, I was curious as to how it was worded in The Message. I liked the wording, but couldn’t stop with just a verse or two to share. So today, I’m sharing verses 27-38. I would also encourage you to pick up your scriptures. Prayerfully read. Let God speak to you through these ancient writings. 27-30 “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more payback. Live generously. 31-34 “Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that’s charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that. 35-36 “I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind. 37-38 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.” 🙏Father, thank you for loving me so fully and generously. Thank you for blessings on top of blessings. You bless me when I don’t deserve it. You bring joy into my life. You fill me with hope. You give me peace in a storm. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you for your scriptures that remind me to also be generous. With the help of your Holy Spirit, I will be generous with my witness of your love. I will be generous as I follow the prompting of your spirit. Lead me in your way as I go through my day. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. 🙏

#TAKE TIME TO READ GOD’S WORD BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

As you begin to consume the word of God, Satan will get into panic because he knows that the moment you understand the mysteries of the word, he can no longer lie to you and your deliverance is sure. His next action will be to make you doubt the word. " did God really say?" is how he started with Eve. Eve lost because she gave a listening ear to Satan. You must receive the word as a little child. Believe it even when it sounds foolish and makes no sense. Believe it even when it looks as if it is not working. Do not give a listening ear to the whisper of Satan in your ears and soul. This is the beginning of the fight and also the beginning of victory for you. My prayer for you this night is that at this stage through Christ Jesus you will stand your ground and refuse to be moved.

Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” This is a wonderful “how to” in the building of good relationships. No one enjoys spending much time with a self-centered, puffed up know-it-all; not even when that person is an intelligent, caring Christian, who really does want to be your friend. We, as Christians, need to put others before ourselves. We need to take the focus off of ourselves. We do it best by putting God first. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 is an important passage known as the Shema. It starts by telling us that there’s one God and we are to love him with all we’ve got. That means we put him first. It was the evening of the day that Dennis asked me to marry him. We sat in the moonlight with the stars lighting the sky and Dennis looked at me and said, “I don’t want you to be my number 1 and I don’t want to be your number 1.” I thought, oh no. He’s not ready and he thinks I’m not ready. Then he went on to say, “I want God to be my number 1 and I want you to be my number 2. And I want God to be your number 1 and I want to be your number 2.” It’s wonderful, when together we put God first. This is what we need to do in all our relationships. When we put God first, we are no longer self-centered. We are no longer self-righteous. Instead, we are praying more for others, putting their needs, their happiness, daily before the Lord. We genuinely care about them and about building a relationship with them based upon our relationship with God. We “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” 🙏Father, thank you for loving me and wanting a relationship with me. Help me to build all my relationships upon your love. Guide my thoughts and my attitude so that my actions bring you honor and glory. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏

Ephesians 4:15 “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Instead of being drawn into the hatred spread by Satan; instead of arguing and trying to prove a point; instead of disrespecting those you want to convince; instead of losing your patience; instead of dishonoring Christ; instead of needing to win… We need to understand that everyone has the right to make their own choice and not everyone will agree with the truth as you know it. Instead of trying to convince anyone of anything, we simply need to speak the truth in love and let the Holy Spirit do the convincing. That is what God has called us to do. While we are speaking the truth, we also need to live the truth. I’m sure you’ve heard it said, actions speak louder than words. Speaking the truth in love isn’t just the tone of our voice. We need to love the people that God is putting in our lives. We need to love the ones who need to hear the truth. Envision the ones you think need to hear the truth. Now love them before you start sharing the truth with them. Love them where they are. Pray for them. Do good for them. Listen to them. Get to know them better. Let them see the truth in you before you vocally speak it. Be guided by the Holy Spirit. Father, thank you for loving me and loving all your children. Help me to love everyone and to live the truth of your gospel. Guide me as I share the truth with others. May you always be honored in my sharing. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. 🙏
