    I hope this blesses some... 🙏 I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊 *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️ *All things are possible with God*

    If our Loving Heavenly Father does not chastise us when it is needed then we are not His children….I know I am amazingly loved and blessed by the Grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ but also I have known His loving chastisement and that is also the great blessing of His grace. If we love Him we will keep His commandments…not legalism but loving obedience

    Michael W Smith was the first contemporary Christian music concert that I ever went to and He and Amy Grant became started my journey with Contemporary Gospel music! I love them both❤️. Michael is truly anointed by God for his abilities to write and perform Contemporary Gospel music! He gave me hope for my future. Although I was in Church every Sunday and Wednesday night, I was being sexually abused. Never escaped that nightmare but I listened, enjoyed and worship God. My journey has not been a good one and not one of a lot of happiness because I ve been through it all and my God has been with me through it all. I may never figured out what God's plan was for my life but I am blessed to be alive at this point! God reigns, He is alive! Amen, thank God, praise God for these awesome singers. I would not have survived without you!!!!! Much love 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🇺🇸

    Only light brings life. It's time we start taking that practically. John 3:21. We become what light makes us. Jesus, Father, and the Holy Spirit all come via light. Romans 1:20. Since the beginning, His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood by what has been wrought by God, so they are without excuse. James 2:20 faith without the works of God made in us by light is dead. Perhaps all these authors assumed we would take Christ literal that He is the light of the world. Why haven't we? Have we been deceived to think it is dangerous?

And He brings us through, and out on the other side, if we go with Him as He leads. One day the world will look upon the devil and shake their heads in disbelief as he cowers in the face of Jesus Christ our King. The ppl will say, Is THIS the one who brought nations to their knees? Is THIS the one who made the kingdoms of the earth tremble? Puhlease Jesus is King and Lord, Lord God Almighty, forever and ever, Amen.

    Truly Our Father can chastise. I remember spending a very hard Christmas alone and was given a book. In the book contained all the answers to all the problems I was having. I knew I had been behaving unruly. I also knew someone was used to bring to light where I was going all wrong. Our Father uses at least to me chastisement in such a way that you can feel so profoundly loved in such a way as to understand and get what you have been missing in this life. I had come from all kinds of abuse and my idea of love was very backwards. A Father must chastise but mine had molested. The Father, our heavenly one does it in such a careful way as to get you to see Him first and know Him first but to also see how wayward you were. Love in just the word can be a dangerous thing. Those who abuse claim they love even though God would totally disagree. I just remember being happy after the book. In my heart I knew God was displeased but he rebuked instead of hammered me down for distasteful behavior. That was when I first understood pure, undefiled love. ❤❤🙏

    I don't think God is holding a hammer behind is back but I do believe His heart is torn when we do those things that hurt Him and disappoint Him. We love to say He is a God of Love, and He is, but "He IS" also God of Justice and He loves justice and loves when we obey and keep His commandments and laws. Be careful not to label someone legalistic when they are really just trying to live by the standards and truths God has laid out for us in His Word. Don't let the word "legalistic" be your "get out of jail free" card so you can feel better about living life your way. You are no longer your own, you are no longer in control and are able to live life your way ...if you are a Christian then you have been bought with a price, your are a slave to Jesus Christ and you belong to Him. Know what you are signing up for, there is "Only One Way" ... His way. #nocompromises

    The problem is if you get the rong info from your sherpard, you will get stuck for a long time. How many sheperds are sincere enough to admit their wrong teachings or mistakes made? They will usually keep quiet about it to preserve their pride. In the end you are the one grobing for the right direction in the dark, desperately finding the right direction to follow. They don't care. All they know is endless judgements and finger pointing. Then some others who are like them joined in, thinking they are doing great in God's eyes. Padding themselves on the shoulders. If they are less selfish and more responsible and accountable, it would save your sheep less miseries. They have to suffer unnecessarily because of the evil selfishness of those who are suppose to guide.

    Christians, didn't Jesus tell us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven? God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on earth, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus said that this good news of the Kingdom would be preached about in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come, Matthew 24:14! Soon Jesus will make sure that God's Will is done on earth as it is in heaven, will you be there to see it? John 4:22-24; John 17:3; Isaiah 42:8!
