This ominous question can only be answered by the individual believer. Fear not! “His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” Luke 1:50-53
Jesus regularly withdrew to the secret place. This was His pattern—retreating to commune with the Father before major decisions, miracles, and moments of ministry. The wilderness was not a place of isolation but a place of preparation. Learn from His example, withdraw, get still, and WAIT for direction. God created a Sabbath rest for good reason. Time with Him.
“Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” John 3:20-21 Whacky Wonders
We are citizens of heaven, set apart to be salt and light for such a time as this. The Holy Spirit gives clarity. “Remember His holy covenant, to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, o give His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” Luke 1:72 Prayer in comments.
DO NOT LIE! Peter had to confront Sapphira “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” At that moment, she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great FEAR seized the whole CHURCH. ” Acts 5:9-11 Spirit Driven?
The kingdom of God is coming! Wisely we choose to humble ourselves, examine our hearts, repent, listen and obey. Expectant, we enter into His court with rejoicing for Jesus is the One who goes with you. Once you receive Jesus as your Savior, He never leaves you as the Holy Spirit indwells you. Waiting
“You, oh Lord brought me out of the womb; You made me trust in You, even at my mother’s breast. From birth I was cast on You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God. Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; I will declare Your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise You. You who fear the Lord, praise Him!” Psalm 22
“No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.” Joshua 1:5
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.” ❤️ “The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Corin 10 and Matthew 4:16 ❤️ Be led into all truth by the Holy Spirit.
“His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.” 2 Corin 10
Living Abroad 
Father we praise and worship you this morning as the only true living God creator of everything!!! Thank you again for waking us, filling our lungs with air and causing our hearts to beat again! Thank You Lord for giving us another opportunity to find your lost children walking around in veiled in darkness!
Thank you Lord for Your grace and Your mercies which are made new each day and are never fail us (Lamentations 3:22-23)! We ask you Father for clean hands and a clean heart today and renew the right Spirit in us (Psalm 51:10-11)! Lord, we wish that nothing should hinder our prayers today, we forgive others of any wrongdoings against us as you are faithful to forgive us also (Matthew 6:15)!
Thank You Lord Jesus for the veil being torn in two and giving us access to the throne room of heaven so we can make our petitions known (Matthew 27:51)!!
Thank You Lord for always hearing and answering our prayers!! Love surely does cover a multitude of sins, for each one of us believers the love of Jesus Christ covered our sins through His precious blood that was poured out on this earth. As the Bible says there is no greater love than to lay one’s life down for his friends (John 15:13).
Jesus truly showed us the ultimate expression of His love for us in this way, laying His life down so that we could be forgiven. Love forgives and without forgiveness there is not love, and without forgiveness we are not forgiven by our Heavenly Father (Matthew 6:14-15).
If we harbor unforgiveness in our hearts, it truly doesn’t hurt the person whom we are holding a grudge against, it only hurts ourselves. Unforgiveness can manifest itself in our physical bodies as ailments, as well as in our mind with mental disorders, and it is deadly in our spiritual lives as it prevents God from lifting our burdens and hearing our prayers. When we have unforgiveness in our hearts, we are also carrying all our own sins around, because we have not been forgiven. I have watched unforgiveness destroy many things around me in my life. I have seen family relationships destroyed, and marriages crumble. I have seen generational curses carried on to children from parents that were abused and still harboring unforgiveness. I plead with you today if there is anyone you haven’t forgiven or anyone that you are holding a grudge against, take a break pray about it and forgive them.
Let the Lord carry your burdens and be set from the chains that are enslaving you! It doesn’t matter how big or small the offense, we have been forgiven of much more by our Heavenly Father. Let it all go and your health will improve, your mind will be at ease and your spiritual life will be restarted. Let God give you His peace which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7)!
If you haven’t received Jesus Christ yet, pray the Lord will remove the scales that the devil tried to put over your eyes and remove the veil from over your heart, and open you ears to hear the good news! Read the verses in Romans chapter 10 faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!
HOW TO RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR IT IS URGENT Christ is truly coming back soon and the age of grace is ending. accept and understand you are a sinner (Romans 3:23), repent (turn away from) of those sins (Matthew 3:2), believe in your heart that Christ died for your sins on the cross, and invite Jesus into your heart. Confess with your mouth (orally speak it) that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. If you have made the decision to accept Christ, find a local or online church to get plugged into. Get discipled on the Christian walk, so that your roots may grow deep. Seek an opportunity for baptism (Acts 2:38), welcome to the family of God!! Hallelujah!!! Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV “Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”
Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Psalm 51:10-11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Matthew 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split.
1 Peter 4:7-11 Serving for God’s Glory But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 1But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Matthew 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’ ”
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:8-13 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
