Two scriptures have led me for many years and I have been diligent to do these 2 scriptures.
These instruction in the Holy Bible are not just for ministers but are instructions for the whole church to do.
Hebrews 3
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
exhort: urge earnestly by advice and warnings
Hebrews 10
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of the LORD) approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

ISAIAH 60:1-2 ARISE, SHINE; FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON THEE.
FOR, BEHOLD, THE DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH, AND GROSS DARKNESS THE
PEOPLE: BUT THE LORD SHALL ARISE UPON THEE, AND HIS GLORY SHALL BE SEEN
UPON THEE.
PEOPLE: BUT THE LORD SHALL ARISE UPON THEE, AND HIS GLORY SHALL BE SEEN

This morning after reading the sharing, I asked God. "What do YOU want me to share?" The thought came, "Rejoice in the Lord Always."
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always;
And again I say, rejoice.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Yesterday two movers came to box up a very heavy broken amplifier and replace it with a working amplifier, and also to move some other heavy things for us.
When scheduling them to come, I was told they would arrive between 3-5 p.m. Then a short time later I received a call from the moving company asking if I'd be willing to have the movers arrive between 1-3, and I agreed to this.
After agreeing to this change, however, thoughts came that I shouldn't have agreed to this earlier time because there wouldn't be time for me to prepare for the movers. I asked God if I should make other arrangements, but was not led to do so.
(Where did that first thought come from? Try the spirits that bring thoughts to your mind to see if those thoughts are from God.)
As I committed to God how to prepare for the movers, and was led in how to do these preparations, I was ready for them before 11:30 a.m. Having them come at the earlier time was no problem at all. In fact, it turned out to be better for us that they came earlier ...
After the movers put the working amplifier in place, I started to install the various cables and was shocked to find that the end of one cable was broken. There was no way to connect it to the amplifier! The amplifier could not be used until this was repaired.
The movers finished all the jobs we had for them to do by 2:30. There was plenty of time to take the cable with the broken end to a sound place where this could be repaired right away. By 5:30 the cable was repaired and connected to the amplifier, working just fine.
This morning I was thanking God for being able to get the broken cable taken care of yesterday since the movers came at the earlier time, and was reminded of what we're told in Romans 8:28 ...
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.

I knew I needed to turn to God immediately and ask Him to please help bring me under control.
So I sat there and silently prayed for God to help me.
Right after I did this, I stopped thinking about fixing dinner. I can’t even tell you what I was thinking about after praying, but I do remember just sitting quietly on the sofa for a while and later getting up and going to the kitchen and starting dinner.
I finished with dinner, we ate, and watched a tv program, as we ate. I was calm and enjoyed this time.
It was later that night when I remembered that I had been feeling irritable earlier. But, after asking God to help me, the irritability had simply vanished and I was able to prepare dinner, eat, and enjoy this time because God had answered my prayer.
How blessed we are to belong to God, to have His Holy Spirit living within us, and to have access to perfect help and perfect wisdom, at all times!

Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
So many times in my life’s journey, I thought I knew what was best for myself and somehow God always got my attention and made me aware that I had NOT prayed about the matter at hand.
After I prayed sometimes the answer that I previously considered was incorrect and He led me another way or He confirmed to me that what I was thinking was correct.
HOWEVER, I was always reminded to consult God and it became a way of life for me. And that revelation from God has helped me through the rest of my days.

There is an intersection a little ways from our house that is a 4-way stop. The speed limit on both roads is 55. There are usually not many, if any, other cars there. If I don’t see any other cars stopped or coming, I usually slow way down, take a look to make sure no one else is there, and then just proceed through.
One day I came up to this intersection and although there were no cars there and I couldn’t see any approaching, instead of going through right away I stopped and hesitated for just a few seconds. From my right a truck came barreling through, not stopping, not even slowing down.
I was amazed and so thankful that God had spared me from what could’ve been a horrible accident.

After I went to bed last night, I was reminded of several scriptures and wrote portions so that I could find them in the Bible when I got up. The following is one of those scriptures.
Nehemiah 8:10 Then HE said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
The joy of The Word given to us by His Spirit is our strength. When we do That Word, It brings about God's purpose in the situation.

CHURCH GATHERING
IN COLORADO SPRINGS:
July 22-26, 2024
We are going to try to conduct these meetings as Paul said to do when we gather as the church:
I Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm (prayer), hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
I Corinthians 14:31 For ye may all prophesy (share) one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
And in the Bible, Jesus says to us:
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in MY name, there am I in the midst of them.
