Scriptures to Meditate on today - Part# 3 of Sowing and Reaping !

Scriptures to Meditate on today - Part# 3 of Sowing and Reaping ! We have to get understanding by the Word (Bible) first before we can preach, teach and speak to others about His promises and His Word. The Word of God has given us a warning that deception would be prevalent on the earth. We have to study God's Word to know the Truth. God has warned us of the danger of being deceived by humankind. This being the case, we need to understand what to look for and also we should be aware of how we can be deceived by words and the worldly system. For it is written in Matthew 13:17-27, For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Here the Lord is talking about how we need to be aware of the danger of being deceived by people. He does not tell us to judge them by their “gifts,” but rather by their “fruits.” Let us not be deceived by words, deeds, positions or leaders, everywhere. For it is written in Matthew 20:27-28, And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Understand, we're servants of the Lord first, we must not be just hearers of the word, but doers. We cannot just read the word and believe that's enough, we must apply it too. For it is written in James 1:22-25,  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. Amen ! Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, our local states and national leaders, the nation & nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen ! This is my prayer for 2021, not my will, but "Your Will be done Lord".   Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on- Part#2 of Sowing and Reaping !

Scriptures to Meditate on- Part#2 of Sowing and Reaping ! God should always be first in our lives right ? So, ask yourselves, are you seeking and believing the worldly system or the kingdom knowledge by God's Word ? We don't need to worry children of God, we have to trust God's plan and purpose in everything. For it is written in Matthew 6:31-33, So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Understand, we'll benefit from every choice that we make, good or bad. What's in your heart, examine yourselves, are you truly seeking Him wholeheartedly ? Now, we'll have good days and bad days, beloved children of God, but we walk by faith, not by sight. For it is written in Proverbs 11:17-21,Those who are kind benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves. A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.Truly the righteous attain life, but whoever pursues evil finds death.The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless. Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free. God is still on the throne and His Word is truth. Let us get some understanding first, God has not changed His Word, nothing is new to Him. God is sovereign and in control of all things. Awake from sleeping (spiritually), can you not see as the world sees things, but by the supernatural divine order of God ? As a believer,we're in this world, but not of this world, we're Citizens of the Kingdom of God. For it is written in Philippians 3:20, But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. God has marvelous things planned for us, every believer. He foreknow the plans for us and His work and works His plan through us! Are you listening, are you watching and praying ? Are you seeking Him wholeheartedly ? For it is written in Matthew 13:9-16, "Whoever has ears, let them hear."The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. 'But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR DIVINE WORD."For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, our local states and national leaders, the nation & nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen ! This is my prayer for 2021, not my will, but "Your Will be done Lord". Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this day-Sowing and Reaping !

Scriptures to Meditate on this day-Sowing and Reaping ! Depending on what kind of seeds you sow, whether good or bad, be ready to reap the consequences, whether good or bad. For it is written in Deuteronomy 30:19-22, This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is the promise of God, if you choose to live by His Word. Understand,when you sow you will reap from it good or bad. If you're sowing into bad soil, you're going to reap nothing good. But,whenever you sow into someone with great favor, you’re going to reap some of that favor into your life. We will reap from our seeds always something good or bad. Let's get some understanding first from God's Word, for it is written in Matthews 13:1-9,That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.” Are you listening ? If you don't understand, ask,we can go to the throne of grace and ask for understanding from God. For it is written in James 1:5, If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. We cannot let pride stop us from moving forward into the presents of God, nor stop us from growing spiritually. For it is written in Proverbs 16:17-19,The highway of the upright avoids evil; those who guard their ways preserve their lives. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.Throughout Scripture we are told about the consequences of pride. We need to understand God's Word first, for it is written in Proverbs 1:7,The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Abba Father, thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, our local states and national leaders, the nation & nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- Faith or Fear!

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- Faith or Fear! Ask yourself, are you living with faith in Christ Jesus or fear because of the worldly system? The word of god tells us to always watch, pray and be ready for the return of the Lord. For it is written in Matthew 24:40-46,Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. We have been given the mandate from God to share the "Good News" of (Truth) Jesus Christ . We're the servants of the Lord, we should know the importance of speaking and sharing the gospel. We may be experiencing different situations such as the pandemic or a financial crisis or a family member's death, but we still have hope in Christ Jesus' the Word. So, let us understand that we cannot walk by fear of what we see,think or feel by the worldly systems. Understand, God is still on the throne and He is watching us all. For it is written in Psalms 11:4-5,The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion. Let us wait on the Lord for His timing, plan and purpose in everything. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, our local states and national leaders, the nation & nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen ! This is my prayer for 2021, not my will, but "Your Will be done Lord".Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scripture to Meditate on today - Ecclesiastes chapter 3 !

Scripture to Meditate on today - Ecclesiastes chapter 3 ! For it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil--this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. It's time for prayer, unity, love, peace, joy, strength and truth for one another. Abba Father, we pray for our families, friends, the sick and the homeless.We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nation/nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- God's Timing !

This week and weekend of the celebration of MLK'S DAY,  I have been writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- God's Timing ! We can choose whether or not to have faith,trust and hope in waiting for God's timing. Our security comes from who we believe and trust, it's not in our feelings or needs. Understand, wherever your treasure is, your heart will follow. This means your treasure is Heavenly or in the earthly system.“You cannot serve two masters at the same time". For it is written in Matthew 6:19-24 ,"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. God knows what's really in our hearts. You say you love God, but the money makes you compromise and with God there is no compromising for anybody. It’s hard for a rich man to enter Heaven, this is God's Word. For it is written in Matthew 19:23-24, Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." That's a powerful message for those in the worldly system looking to be rich on earth. We have to be confident that we're sold out for Jesus Christ and righteousness. We'll see the goodness of the Lord one day soon. For it is written in Psalm 27:13-14, I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord;be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Don't be discouraged by the worldly system, Emmanuel is with us. Just over 2,000 years ago, Emmanuel ( Christ Jesus) changed the world, and He's going to do it again ! Let's look at a part of MLK'S speech, I believe Emmanuel was with him too. So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its Governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and before the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the mount with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the genuine discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, pray together; to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom forever, mowing that we will be free one day. And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California! But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!" God's Word, plan and purpose haven't changed. God's Word is the truth and we're waiting for His Will and His return, everyone will bow down to "HIM". For it is written in Philippians 2:9-11, Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father. Are you waiting, watching and praying ? For we should take to guarding against our adversary Satan the devil and his spiritual attacks daily.This is the Word of God, for it is written in Matthew 26:41,"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."God is and always will be with us. He is omnipresent, which means He is everywhere all the time. For it is written in Psalm 139:7-10,Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If you're a true believer in Christ Jesus, ask yourself, can you help somebody throughout the pandemic Covid 19 ? With some food, clothes, a word of encouragement, a word of hope or a little more love? If Jesus, humble Himself for us, we should certainly be humble towards others. We're servants of the Lord,  if you can help somebody today or tomorrow help them. Jesus served His disciples to draw them closer to Himself and to set an example for us to follow. For it is written in John 12:26, Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Are you following His example? The Word of God tells us to, Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith? Wait on the Lord and His timing, plan and purpose in everything. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8,  Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by the "Holy Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nation/nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.  Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on today- Hope in Him !

This week I'll be writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on today- Hope in Him ! Let's start with some questions, where is your hope ? Understand everyone has hope in someone or something. Is your hope on a firm foundation? So, the question is, are you standing on the "Rock" or on sinking sand? For it is written in Lamentations 3:25-26, The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. Sometimes it’s difficult to see hope in a situation or in our lives. But, the "Word of God," says that true hope is unseen. For it is written in Romans 8:23-25,Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Our hope is in Christ Jesus, this is the true hope for the believers, it comes by trusting God's Word even when circumstances are difficult in our lives. For it is written in Romans 15:12-13, And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope." May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us hold on to God's Unchanging Hand. For it is written in 1 John 3:23-24, And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God's commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. Our hope is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and in God's promise to resurrect all who believe in His One and only son " Jesus Christ." Awake people our hope is alive, "He Has Risen" ! For it is written in  1 Corinthians 15:18-22,  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.                                     The Hymn "My hope is built on nothing less" My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousnessI dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' nameOn Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandWhen darkness When darkness hides His lovely face I rest on His unchanging grace In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil (yes it does)On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandTrust in You and only You His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood When all around my soul gives way (He's my hope) He then is all my hope and stayOn Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandOn Christ On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandWhen He shall come with trumpet sound Oh, may I then in Him be found (in You, would be found in You) Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless to stand before the throneOn Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandOn Christ the solid Rock On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sandAmenOthers can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on today - Waiting on Him!

This week I'll be writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on today - Waiting on Him! Children of God, are you waiting for the government for answers in order to move forward or in meeting your needs? For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Whose Report Will You Believe? For the true believers in Christ, we're commanded to wait on God and His timing. For it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. For me and my house we're going to trust the Lord and His timing for us. Understand that our decisions in this world is in our belief in God and His Word. For it is written in Psalm 27:13-14, I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by your "SPIRIT LORD." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19, I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nation/nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. For it is written in Isaiah 30:18-19, Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Lord we're crying out to you for the land. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Scriptures to Meditate on today - Trusting Him !

This week I'll be writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on today - Trusting Him ! For it is written in Joshua 1:8-9, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Wow, that's a very powerful message to the believers,God is always with us. So, “Whose report will we believe?  We (me and my house) shall believe the report of the Lord!” We must choose whose report we believe for ourselves. For it is written in Romans 10:17, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Our faith is being tested children of God, we have been commanded by God to pray and Trust Him. Be careful who you confide in and be very careful who you listen to! For it is written in Numbers 13:26-32,They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. It's something to think about, that after God had shown the Israelite’s His Mighty Power and Deliverance they would still allow the comments of 10 doubtful men to discourage them! Are you allowing something or someone, hold you back from moving forward in the promises of God ? For it is written in John 6:35-39, Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. Thank you Lord for the "Word Of Truth." We have to renew our way of thinking children of God.The Apostle Paul tells us in the book of Romans that we should renew our minds daily. Let's read the scripture, For it is written Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The question is, how do we renew our minds? We have to read the word, study the word, meditate on the word day and night, and apply the word of god to every situation and our lives too. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by your "SPIRIT LORD." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nation/nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Scriptures to Meditate on today - Faith !

This week I'll be writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on today - Faith ! Let us look at Abraham, Moses and Peter walking by faith and trusting God's Word. The scripture says, "Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous. Moses the rebuke he suffered for His faith in God was not easy. For it is written in Hebrews 11:24-26, By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. Let's look at Peter walking on water, when Jesus told Peter to "Come." For it is written in Matthew 14: 29-31, “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” He stepped out of the boat, but something took place. He took his eyes off of Jesus and he began to sink. We have to keep looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. For it is written in Hebrews 12:1-2,Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. We have to understand that everything is moving forward in this world and in the spirit realm too. We live and walk by faith not by sight children of God. For it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:7,For we live by faith, not by sight. Meditate on faith scriptures everyday can and will change your perspective in all that you see, feel and think. God cannot lie and His Word will not return to Him void. For it is written in Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Remind yourself that your faith is in God, Our Heavenly Father who will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us stand firm in the faith of Jesus Christ. For it is written in 1 Corinthians 16:13,Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Awake from sleeping, stand up and run your race, keep the faith in Christ Jesus. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "HIS HOLY SPIRIT." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- Pray for the Nation and the Leadership !

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- Pray for the Nation and the Leadership ! Let us be true to God and ourselves, sometimes praying for our leaders can be hard, because we don't agree with the way they're leading us and people sometimes. It's okay to agree and disagree, but only in peace. We (believers) are the body of Christ and we're all Commanded to Pray for one another. For it is written in 1 Timothy 2:1-4,I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.We are to live in balance; standing for what is truth and seeking unity for one another, whenever possible, standing firm in the faith of Jesus Christ. We're to show grace to all humans and hold all our leaders accountable for right and wrong. That's God's command for us all to pray for each other and to have forgiveness. For it is written in 1 Peter 3:9, Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. And yet we're called to pray for their wisdom and well-being at all times. In 1944, Franklin D. Roosevelt Delivers D-Day Prayer. In a national radio broadcast on June 6, 1944, as 160,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy in an attempt to liberate France, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked America to join him in a prayer. Will the next Leadership call out for another Prayer Day for the Nation? I don't know, but I'm standing on the rock of my salvation calling out to the "True Believers of Christ'' stand up and make a sound in the earth- Abba Father we're crying out to you today for the people and the Nation/Nations. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,for ever and ever. Amen. All the people and the nations will one day bow down and turn back to God. For it is written in Psalm 22:27-28,All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. People of God it's time to surrender and Trust Him (God) Wholeheartedly. Lord, I pray for our country and I pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on this week - "Get Wisdom!" 

Scriptures to Meditate on this week - "Get Wisdom!"  I woke up this morning hearing the Holy Spirit speak, knowing the differences between good and evil. So, we have to get an understanding of the two words. I looked up the meaning of good, to be desired or approved of. And evil means profoundly immoral and wicked. The two words good and evil are abstract concepts. These two concepts are often considered as the opposite of each other. And that's something we all need to understand. Evil means profoundly immoral and wicked while good means moral, pleasing and welcoming. This is the key difference between good and evil within people. ‘Good’ means a lack of self-centredness. It means the ability to empathize with other people, to feel compassion for them, and to put their needs before your own. ‘Evil’ is unable to empathize with others' needs. They are selfish, self-absorbed, and they value themselves before others. For it is written in Proverbs 6:16-19, There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Wow, we need to test the spirit and know if it's of God. We have to have spiritual discernment to know the true character of people. Let us not be deceived by anyone. For it is written in Ephesians 5:5-9, For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a person is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth). Our Heavenly Father's instructions are getting wisdom and understanding, " His Will and His Way." For it is written in Proverbs 4:5-15, Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown." Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. Are you listening to the sound of the "Holy Spirit?" Abba Father, we obey your word and we pray for our families and friends. We're praying for one another, the Nation and Nations. We're praying for Israel, the leaders and our enemies. We're praying for healing on the earth for the people. We're trusting you in everything. Amen !  Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on this week -  "It's the Blood"!

Scriptures to Meditate on this week -  "It's the Blood"! I woke up this morning speaking "It's the Blood". Let us get some understanding first, whenever you hear that you're covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, it means that your debt to sin has been paid and you're forgiven by God. Amen ! We have to understand that humans hold us to the sin or act, but God's mercy and grace has forgiven us, by the "Blood of Jesus Christ". We have to walk by the spirit of truth only! So, we have to show forgiveness and love for one another daily,sometimes just being quiet and pray for one another. That's a command by God to pray for each other. The Word of God has spoken, we all have sin by word, thought, deed or action.Understand that righteousness comes from God only, by faith in Him, not people. For it is written in Romans 3:22-24,This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.Thank you Lord for giving us a second chance by your "Grace." For it is written in 1 John 1:7-9, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. We're blessed by God for giving us another minute, second, hour, day and another year '2021'. Have you given "Him (God)" thanks for waking you up and starting your day? Some of us may have taken communion on Sunday and that's great. But, let us understand the partakeing of Holy Communion in remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus that was broken and poured out of Jesus Christ at the cross. Taking Holy Communion does not only remind us of his suffering but also shows us the amount of love Jesus had for us who believe in Him. For it is written in Matthew 26:26-28, Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. As I'm growing in the wisdom of God, I have to share the wisdom of "His Word" with the nations. Jesus called Himself “the bread of life,” which means that we’re nourished by Him, we survive because of His Love for us. Bread is a symbol for Jesus’ body and wine as a symbol for His blood. All of us must choose for him or herself. No one can do that for us, it's "Free Will." It is your choice to believe or not. Everyone may not choose to serve Him, but some people need to hear the "Good News" that's why we're to share the gospel with others. Whose Report Will You Believe? For it is written in Joshua 24:15,But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Thank you Lord for "Your Blood." Amen ! Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on this week - The Great Commission !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week - The Great Commission !  For it is written in Proverbs 8:10-12, Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion." Listen to what God has called and told us to do and be led by the Holy Spirit and move forward into 2021 fulfilling " The Great Commission." Let us fulfill the commission that Jesus Christ gave to His followers to go into the world and make disciples of all Nations. For it is written in Matthew 28:18-20, Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Understand that God is with us, He is "Immanuel."God never promised that life would always be "easy." But He did promise this, by His word: that He would be "with us" through it all (good or bad), and He would never leave us. We're the salt on earth and light, moving forward sharing the "Good News" of "Hope" in "Christ Jesus!" You have to awake from sleeping and run your race to share "The Hope and The Good News" with others. For it is written in Matthew 5:13-16,"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Let us pray together for our families, friends, the sick, the nurses, the doctors, the officers, the front line workers, one another, for Israel, for the nation and nations. Lord, we need your healing power to touch the hearts, minds and spirit of your people. We need to hear from "You Lord" for healing the land, forgive us from turning away from 'Your Word." For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Forgive us from doing things by the worldly system. We walk by faith, not by sight. Amen !   Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- New Years message "The Armor!"

Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- New Years message "The Armor!" (The last message received in 2020 ended with a question. What are you building your foundation on the Word of God or the worldly system ?  If your foundation isn't on the rock moving forward into the new year, it's going to sink.)   This is a New Year's message for 2021, we're on the battlefield. For it is written in Ephesians 6:12, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We have been warned by God's Word, are you still sleeping from "2020?" Awake children of God, we're at war. This war is not flesh, it's the power of darkness, it's spiritual forces here on earth. We're not giving the enemy any advantage over our lives or our thoughts (mind), for we are not ignorant of his schemes. Most people don’t realize the inherent power of their thoughts. We know that we're at war in this world and within our minds. For it is written in Romans 12:2, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. This is the plan and purpose for your life children of God. We have to do the Will of the one who sent us by the Holy Spirit leading us daily. For it is written in Luke 4:18-19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” It's not just on Sunday's or whenever someone is watching us. God is watching us and everything that's happening daily. He is Alpha and Omega. For it is written in (NLT) Revelation 1:8,“I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”  He is the first and the last, He is the beginning and the end.  For it is written in Proverbs 15:3, The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. "Put on the Full Armor of God" first ! Why, because we're on the battlefield daily and we have to be fully dressed for battle. For it is written in Ephesians 6:11-20, Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Amen ! Thank you Lord and Savior for the "Word Of Truth!" Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/
