πŸ’₯ God makes a way of escape from temptation

 
Pam Padgett, member of the body of Christ
 
I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I have lived in a quiet community for 25 years. But in August, 2024, an outdoor music venue opened about 2 miles from my house, and they were granted exceptions to public noise ordinances, allowing music to be amplified quite loudly. During their concerts, to drown out the noise I need to be inside my house with all of the windows closed and my tv or music playing loudly. 
 
 The first concert of this year was held about a week ago and I found myself greatly troubled, thinking of it even when a concert is not going on. And I have been stirred up by hearing and seeing outcries from neighbors over the noise.
 
So I laid all this out before God, asking HIM to somehow help me live in peace here, or to move me to another location if that is HIS will.  (I want to live in peace as we're instructed in 2Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.)

This past Sunday evening I was enjoying being outside and was thanking God for how pleasant it was, when the following concept was given to me by the Holy Spirit ... "Focus on the many evenings that are like this rather than on the few evenings when there is a concert."
 
This strongly reached me. Truly, there are not many concerts over the summer & fall months (I checked and there are only 16).  The vast majority of evenings are very quiet and pleasant.

It brings great peace to me to think on this, and I believe this is a "way of escape" for me in this matter.

Philippians 3:1  Paul says:  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

II Corinthians 13:1  Paul says:  This is the third time I am coming to you.  In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

2 Timothy 3:16-17   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

I Thessalonians 4:13-18  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

2 Peter 3:10-14   But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Philemon v. 6   That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
 
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall we live, and do this, or that.
 
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
 
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Romans 5:10  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.

πŸ’₯ Hebrews 8 (Reading through the Bible)

 
Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith HE, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

But now hath HE obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 In that HE saith, A new covenant, HE hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

πŸ’₯ Hymn: HE leadeth me!




(Click play symbol, > ... to start music)  
(Click pause symbol, || ... to stop music)


1. He leadeth me! O blessed thought, 
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught;
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ’tis Christ’s WORD that leadeth me.


Chorus:

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!

By His own WORD He leadeth me;

His faithful follower I would be,
For by His WORD He leadeth me. 

2.  Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His WORD that leadeth me.
 

3.  Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine (by reaching out and grabbing HIS Word and doing it),

Nor ever murmur or repine; *
 

Content, whatever lot I see,
Since it is Thou that leadest me.
 

4.  And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
 

Since Thou in triumph leadest me.


*** 

Defnitions:
 
Consider these definitions for the words "murmur" and "repine" in verse 3.

Nor ever murmur or repine;


murmur:  complain about 

repine:  to look back with intense longing for what one once had ...
             to be fretfully discontented ...
             to mope, to languish, to feel upset about, to be despondent over ... to brood, lament, grieve, mourn, sorrow

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:

Romans 8:11    But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

God, by HIS Spirit, brings thoughts to our minds to comfort us, to show us what to do, to stabilize us in times of trial.  Sometimes God will give us a dream to help us.  And God uses angels from time to time to deliver messages to us.  

John 14:26    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.

John 16:13   Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of HIMSELF; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

***

I Corinthians 2:1-5   And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 


And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

***

John 5:30   Jesus said:   I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear (from God), I judge: and MY judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent ME.

***

I Corinthians 2:10-13    But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak.

***

Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

πŸ’₯ Podcast: Work out your own salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12)



 
(This podcast was previously published on February 18, 2022) 
 
Matthew 24   Jesus says:

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Titus 3:9-11  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

The apostle Paul tells each of us:

Philippians 2:12 ... work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

This is a very dangerous time in this world and also in the churches which have denied certain scriptures and teach another doctrine other than scriptures, apostasy in the churches of the end times as Paul told us would happen in II Thessalonians 2.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

In 1982, God said to me, concerning the above scripture:  "The falling away, are not the people leaving the churches ... The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."

This is what we are seeing today in churches, the apostasy of the end times.

πŸ’₯ Hebrews 7 (Reading through the Bible)

 
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

And here men that die receive tithes; but there HE receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that HE liveth.

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

10 For HE was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met Him.

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

13 For HE of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17 For HE testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath HE was made priest: 

21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 

24 But this man, because HE continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

25 Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them.

26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this HE did once, when HE offered up Himself.

28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

πŸ’₯ Podcast: The voice of one crying in the wilderness



 
(This podcast was previously published on July 11, 2021) 
 
Comments by Joan Boney:

As the wickedness increases we know Jesus comes soon and the judgment of God and the complete destruction of the heaven and earth by God.

On July 10, 2021,  I was watching on NFL channel the replay of a football game from 2020.

A commercial appeared on screen.  It was obvious to me this commercial was extremely high level advertisement.

Total black screen ... with one word at a time in white letters in the center of the screen.

NFL ... is ... for ... (several words) then ... Gays ... Lesbians ... etc ... 

Who speaks what the Bible says?

(Even most churches won't do this today.)

The Bible says:

Romans 1:26-27

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mindto do those things which are not convenient;

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Luke 21

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29-30 And HE (Jesus) spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Before Jesus came the first time in the flesh, John the Baptist was crying in the wilderness as follows:

Luke 3

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make HIS paths straight.

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Matthew 24   Jesus says:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mournand they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

(They mourn because all their properties and their fame and their reputations of men will be destroyed by God with the destruction of the present heavens and with the destruction of this earth.)

31 And HE sha
ll send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

2 Peter 3:10-14

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the nightin the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go ahead of) them which are asleep.

πŸ’₯ Hebrews 6 (Reading through the Bible)

 1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,  Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 
And this will we do, if God permit.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame.

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because HE could swear by no greater, HE sware by HIMSELF,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of HIS counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

πŸ’₯ Podcast: Save yourself from this untoward generation

 


(This podcast was previously published on April 27, 2022) 
 
Dream given to Pam Padgett  2/27/2020
 
There had been an explosion. Somehow it was known that the person responsible for this explosion had setup another explosion for a specific day. We even knew the approximate time.
 
I started to leave the building where I was working on the sixth floor before the second explosion was to take place, but just a few steps down the stairs I remembered my purse and that all my identification was in it. I ran to where my purse was and got it.
 
Then I proceeded to leave, going down the stairs very quickly. I counted each floor as I passed by it descending down the stairs.
 
Some people were standing along the stairs, talking. I could tell by their talk that they knew the explosion was supposed to be coming, but they seemed to feel no sense of urgency. I didn’t stop to try to persuade them to get out right away. Instead, I went around them and continued getting to the first floor so I could leave the building.
 
I got out of the building and continued quickly on my way to leave the area.
 
At one point I was aware the explosion had happened. There was a wall of glass doors in the outside area where I was. I went through one of the doors to the other side, getting as far away from the destruction as I could. I kept walking as quickly as possible.
 
At one point I saw a woman walking around with a dazed look. She was carrying a recording device. I heard her say she was interviewing people who had been hurt or raped during this event.
 
I kept walking as quickly as possible toward the parking lot so I could leave.

When I awoke from this dream, I heard, “Save yourself from this untoward generation”
 
Acts 2:40  And with many other words did he (Peter) testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
 
Untoward: inappropriate, offensive, perverse, willful, crooked

Pam says:

During the last several years of their lives, my parents lived near my niece, Michelle, and her husband, Jared, and their family in a small town in far southern Oklahoma.  
 
One day Michelle called to tell me that my mom was very sick and had been taken to a hospital in Oklahoma City.  My mom's kidneys had stopped functioning and she was in intensive care.  

Immediately I started thinking of going to Oklahoma City, which is about 600 miles from where I live.
 
But then I stopped and turned to God and asked HIM: "What do YOU want me to do?"
 
The Holy Spirit brought the following concept to me:  To go there would be like stepping into a hill of fire ants ... and that my mom had all the help she needed.  
 
Both of my sisters and most of their grown children live in Oklahoma and would surely be at the hospital.  I have found that much of what they do and say is very much like the poison of fire ants, and I knew this was a warning to me of the danger of going there.  
 
I did not go to Oklahoma City to be with my mom, but I kept in touch by telephone with my dad and Michelle. 
 
Mom recovered enough to be released from the hospital a week or two later.  I spoke with her on the telephone after she returned home.   
 
She told me of the people who had come to the hospital to see her, including my sisters and their children.  I was so glad to have been spared by God from being there with them. 

Mom also told me what wonderful care she had received at the hospital and that all she had needed had been provided.  

All of this was exactly as the Holy Spirit had told me.

A couple years later each of my sisters called to tell me that my dad was extremely ill and not expected to live more than a couple days.  They were each on their way to be with him and told me that I needed to go there and talk with my dad as well.  

I turned to God, asking if this is what HE wanted me to do.

The Holy Spirit brought the following to me:  "You have shared everything needed with your dad.  There is no need to go there."

I told each of my sisters I would not be going, and that Dad and I have talked on the telephone many times and there was nothing more we needed to say.  They were upset with me and told me how wrong I was to not go to be with my dad.  
 
But my dad did not die at that time.  I spoke with my mom a couple weeks later.  She told me my dad was fully recovered and was out mowing the lawn!

When my dad died in 2018, he had not been ill.  He simply died in his sleep.

After learning that he had died, I asked God if HE would somehow let me know whether my dad was born again before he died.  

A few days later I was given a dream.  In the dream my dad was my "brother", and he told me that I had always been there for him.  

I believe this dream showed that my dad was born again, my brother in Christ, and that I had done what was needed where he was concerned.

I was so grateful to God for showing me this.

In 2019 my mom began to sound so different when I spoke with her on the telephone.  Whereas in the past she talked a lot about what other people were doing, she now spoke of how much she was enjoying reading the Bible.  
 
One day she told me that she knew it was God who had led my dad and her to live near Michelle and Jared and how perfect this had been for them and how grateful she was to God for this.   

On 11/25/2020 I was given a dream ... In this dream my mom was standing at a small table on which were several things. She looked in good condition, standing upright and having on a nice dress. She was calmly moving some things on the table around as if putting them in order. I asked if she knew that the EMT’s (emergency medical technicians) were here to put up cameras. She said she had seen them, but didn’t know what they were doing. She just kept focused on what she was doing, putting in order the things that were in front of her, not asking questions or getting excited.

I believed I was being shown that my mom was about to die, but she was in good condition and was getting her life in order.  
 
A couple weeks later my niece, Michelle, called to tell me that my mom had been put in hospice care by her doctor.  They would simply try to keep her comfortable at home for whatever time she continued to live on this earth.  
 
I prayed about whether I should go be with my mom, whether there was anything I could do, but was not led to do this.  
 
I did send the 11/25/20 dream to Michelle and told her of the changes I had seen in Mom over the past several months showing she was born again, wanting to help Michelle with the things God had given me to help me.  As I was writing these things for Michelle,  I was reminded of the following scripture:
 
2 Corinthians 1:3-4  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth 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.
 
A few days after sending this, my mom died.   

I was so glad that God had shown me the change in Mom's life, that she was born again before she died.  And also the dream HE had given me in late November was a help and comfort to me.

πŸ’₯ Hebrews 5 (Reading through the Bible)

 
For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an high priest; but HE that said unto Him, Thou art MY Son, to day have I begotten thee.

As HE saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared;

Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;

And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;

10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

πŸ’₯ Podcast: Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another Romans 14:19

 


(This podcast was previously published on April 20, 2022) 
 
Staying connected to God daily, second by second, as we live on this earth as we wait for the return of Jesus is critical to us.  We must take every care to God in prayer when the problem arises.  And we settle the matter with God in prayer.  For we do not know the day or hour that Jesus returns and staying connected to God through prayer like this makes us worthy to escape that which is coming upon this world.

Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Luke 21:33-36  Jesus says:  

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

It is that prayer that connects us to God in all the troubles and cares of this life and the connecting to God makes us accounted worthy to escape that which is coming upon this earth and causes us to stand before the Son of man.

Philippians 2:12   Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

II Corinthians 5:10-11  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

Romans 14:19  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

2 Peter 3:14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

You cannot live in peace with some people.  You know who they are.

You cannot appease devils.

You have to come away from them.

Matthew 13:44-46   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

You cannot be around them.  When you are with them and a disturbing subject arises, take a Bible and read aloud that scripture brought to your mind by the Holy Spirit.

You will get free one way or another.  Either they will depart from you or they will believe the scripture and turn to God and be saved.

You tell them.

Don't just send them what I write.  You tell them.  They will just throw away what I say to them.  They already think I am your problem.  We both know that is not true.  God is your problem! for He has led you in His way but they are pulling you back to themselves.
