What Is Your Life, Who Is Life?

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses...So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God...For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life...For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest?

And every one that have forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

..they said unto them, Why seek you the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen:

Go to now, you that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

For that you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

John 1:4;Matt. 10:39;Matt. 16:25;Luke 12:15&21&34;Luke 12:22-26;John 10:10;Rom. 5:10&17;Matt. 19:29;John 10:28-29;Luke 24:5-6;Jam. 4:13-15;Acts 8:39-40

Your life is not your job, your career, your family, your friends, nor your home and possessions. God is your life, and your life is not your own, you have been bought with a price, so now glorify God in your body which is God's. Jesus is the life you live, and he is your master, because everything you have, belongs to the Lord, so lift him up, or kiss him up to God, by your praises, where he belongs on the right hand of authority and power...(My livelihood is my God, the Lord Jesus and His Spirit) Thank you Lord that you lead me in and out and find pasture!...Amen.

"Pick It Up, And Kiss It Up To God"

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

And Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding?

Do not you yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defiles not a man.

And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man do not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord do man live.

Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna anymore, but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever.

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.

And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone, a new name is written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.

Matt. 15:15-20;Deut. 8:3&16;John 6:11-13;Josh. 5:12;John 6:58&35;Exo. 16:31;Rev. 2:17

Long ago, I was a teenager walking down the street with a ice cream cone, it was so good, the whole dip fell off the cone, and someone called out to me, "Pick it up, and Kiss it up to God" and laughed. "That is dirt", I said, to myself.... "Seek and you shall find" was the Word in my life, at another time...Why was it back then that everything that you might need later was on the ground? You might need that penny, but you walked right around it, saying to yourself, "I'm not that hard up". But a few days later, you go into a store with not enough for the tax, and you say to yourself, shaking your head, "It's alright". Money on the ground, pencils the children needed was on the ground. Yes, I got all I needed, Thank you Jesus!!! Why? I said to the Lord, Why do they have to be on the ground? He then said to me, "Your food is on the ground, your fruits and vegetables came from the earth". "Manna was on the ground for the children of Israel", He said all this, by one word "Manna".  I said, "Oh". That was it,  I was humbled.

Did she wash her hands before she picked up the orange to peel it? What a good, sweet and tasty orange with no seeds inside, couldn't share it because they don't trust this earthen vessel to be clean enough; I enjoyed it though...But where did this orange come from? The earth, A tree, that God has made, a fruit that bears no seed. The food that you eat comes right off the ground and out of the ground, holy ground, the earth has gold and all precious jewels also, it is rich with the Word of God (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, God made all things to be very good). The Lord Jesus was on the earth but came from God..."Pick Christ up in your life and Thank God for him in your life"...Thank You, God for your Son in my life!!! Amen.

"God Is Greater Than A Mother"

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.

Say I these things as a man? or says not the law the same also? For it is written in the law of Moses, you shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does God take care for oxen? Or says, he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows should plow in hope; and that he that threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do you not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

Even so have the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Matt. 7:11;Luke 6:38;1 Cor. 9;8-14

I can't continue to give and not ask my Father to give to me, that will make me think that I am better and bigger than my Father. To complain over the gifts that I have given to my children is making me grudge and not be cheerful when giving, but God understands.  People have said that "you can't, out give God", I understand what that means now. Just like Job thought that God had no understanding of the situation that Job's children were doing. But God knows all and sees all, he knows you have given, and now you must look to him as greater than yourself, even in this, God is a rewarder.  And now I expect him to be the Father to me more than I can be a Mother to my children. God does understand....My children can ask of me, and if I have it, I will give, but even when I am unable to give it to them, I try. Why do people sometimes think that if you are in authority you should not be cared about? Because God is good even to the Dads or the Moms (or preachers, or teachers, etc.), that need and want something from their Father. Give and it shall be given unto you..whatever you give out, it shall be given back....men shall give into your bosom, making sure you know, it is because you gave that way. Especially, when you are doing all the work and you should be enjoying the fruit of your labor. God cares for you to live to the fullest and don't forget it...Amen.

That's not right!
Muzzling or keeping a person from being honored and blessed is not right!

"God Seasons This Earth With Salt"

You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is there forth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. ...

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

....have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto you and to your seed with you.

And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.  And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if your foot offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if your eye offend you, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his salt-ness, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.

And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Matt. 5:13;Gen. 19:26;Num. 18:19;2 Kings 2:20;Matt. 9:17;Mark 9:42-50;Rom. 12:18;Luke 9:5;1 Cor. 3:13

There is now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, for the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. By grace, am I saved through faith, and not of myself, it is the gift of God...Losing your saltness or it being stolen from you, is totaling different. That house and city condemned me so I would believe I lost my saltness, so they may have an excuse to trodden me under foot. But all that ever came before the Lord are thieves and robbers. Because I didn't hear them saying that I have no salt in myself, the reason because God had led me out from among them they hated me. The Lord Jesus spoke and said, I have chosen you out of the world that is why the world hates you. God constantly salts this earth, and he salts every sacrifice. Presenting my body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is my reasonable service. Being not conformed to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  A new creature is full of salt and the promise of salt is in the Holy Ghost and the blood of the Lamb covers you from condemnation. Don't let your eyes deceive you, to believe against God's word. God is not a liar. There are devils that are ready to deceive you in the natural but it isn't true in the spirit, but the fire shall try every work of what sort it is..Amen. Thank you, God for your divine intervention!!!

"Arise And Walk"

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

For your loving-kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in your truth.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.

For whether is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk?

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Will you be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steps down before me.

Jesus says unto him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up your bed, and walk. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto you, Take up your bed, and walk? 

But Jesus answered them, My Father works hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.

Psa 1:1;Psa. 15:2;Psa. 23:4;Psa. 26:1;Psa. 26:3;Psa. 26:11;Psa. 84:11;Eziel. 20:19;Amos 3:3;Hab. 3:19;Zech. 10:12;Matt. 9:5;John 5 Chapter

Taking a walk of faith can offend people, because some people feel that they should lay down and let evil happen, or wait for others to do something for them.  Some people also are offended by people that say "Ouch", because you need healing and want healing.  Seeing you carry your bed, offends some people, because it reflect that they should do something for themselves also, because forgiveness is easier to receive then healing.  Or maybe it's a gatekeeper trying to keep people in bondage to continue to think it is not God's will that they should rise and walk, but God's Word is more powerful than any devil.

Walking is a blessing, but should be included in having your heart right with God. God wants you to rise up and walk in the integrity of your heart towards him. That's why the Lord will quicken you to do his will and keep you from the temptation of the flesh.  The flesh likes to wallow in the mire, of sicknesses, lost desires, and of sorrows...because misery loves company.. Arise and Walk...Amen. Thank you, God through my Lord Jesus Christ for blessing me with the desires of my heart, to give myself wholly to your will, by quickening me!

Misunderstood and Afflicted

Who will understand when you are misunderstood?

Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding.

My God have sent his angel, and have shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no hurt.

Who will hold you up when others have always let you down?

I, even I, am he that comforts you: who art you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;...

The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 

Who will keep you warm, when it is cold or indifferent?

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that have mercy on you. O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires. And I will make your windows of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness shalt you be established: you shalt be far from oppression; for you shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

What shall we then say to these things?

Fear not; for you shalt not be ashamed: neither be you confounded; for you shalt not be put to shame: for you shalt forget the shame of your youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more. For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Who is your family and friend?

God is head of Christ, Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body. The church is subject unto Christ, Christ loves the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church:For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. You that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the Husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. As the Father have loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love have no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

If God be for us, who can be against us?

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

The Lord Jesus will nourish and cherish his body, his flesh and his bones....God took the branch that didn't bear fruit away and purged the branch that did bear fruit, like God divided the light from the darkness, and he said that the "Light is Good" which is Christ, the Hope of Glory....God is my Judge...Amen.. Go to your family, let them help you, they said.  Thanks Lord Jesus, for making me to see that people might not want to do for me anyway. But you are never too busy, for me to ask or call on you for help.

It's Going to be Alright...He's Never too Busy.

"Andover" Is A Flower!

And the same day, when the even was come, he says unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, cares you not that we perish?

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.

Mark 4:36-41;1 Pet. 5:7

Even when you are up to the brim because of the mess that you have been going through, God has not left your side. And over to the other side, He still do care for you. Because He don't want you to perish, but have everlasting life..Amen.

Let me tell you, What I think of Jesus? 
How I found in him a friend so kind and true? 
Let me tell you, How he change my life completely? 
  1. He did something that no other friend could do.
  2. No one ever, cared for me, like Jesus.
  3. There's no other friend so kind as He.
  4. No one else can take my sins, and the darkness from me.
  5. Oh how much He cares, He cares for me!!
My Bestest Friend, My Only Friend...Amen.
Some people have a lot of friends, but it don't bother me because I have the Bestest Friend in the Universe.

Withdraw Yourselves!

If any man teaches otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmising, perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not you away.

1 Tim. 6:5;2 Thes. 3:6;2 Tim. 3:1-5;Matt. 5:42

In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established...This is a spiritual walk, sometimes the Lord puts you at a rock and a hard place..because you can't walk this walk alone without the counsel of your God, you must have fellowship with the Lord.  Love your enemies which means if your enemies is hungry, feed them, if they thirst, give them a drink. This is if the Lord allows your enemies to ask of you, or borrow of you. Well, that is what you must pray about...Amen. Who can come to the Lord except the Lord draw them? God prepares a person's heart to receive salvation and the Lord shall judge his people. Vengeance belong to the Lord, he shall repay. The Lord will find the sheep that is lost, not you. This is the Father's business, and it's marvelous in our eyes...Amen. I am not alone, God is the Judge!!!

Finally!!!

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, Do not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My Spirit that is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

Think on these things...God's word doesn't contradict itself, Think on honest things, lovely things, just things, pure things, of good report things, virtuous things and of praise things...Charity thinks no evil, but it rejoices in the truth, and believes in the Lord helping you, bearing you through it all...Amen. Thank God for the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God!!....How can you stand, by taking the beat down mentally? No, You are more than a conqueror through Him that loves you; His word will edify you, and build you up..Amen.
