Pray for the lost 🙏🏻

2 Peter 3:3-4
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Perspective is important, family.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Update on drones…

NOTICE… she does not say that EVERYTHING was a drone. The White House statements only apply to drones that the government had flying, and those which identified as recreational conventional drones. They use very specific language for a reason. You have to read between the lines.

This does not address the glowing orbs, or the UFO type craft.

What a beautiful testimony for Jesus! I encourage you all to watch this video. This was so wonderfully said by our sister, Carol! We are saved by grace through faith and not of works!

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

2 Timothy 2:13
13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.

Jude 1:24-25
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

This world can have “Stargate”… I’m going through the Shepherd’s gate!
⬇️
Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

John 10:7
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Revelation 4:1
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Hey family 😊 I grew up with this wonderful sister in Christ and she and her husband are now missionaries in Romania 🇷🇴.

If you are looking for a missionary to bless here’s their link:

*Also if you’re in Romania and you’d like to connect with them, just let me know.

Revelation 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Zechariah 9:17
For how great is His goodness, and how great His beauty!

I 100% stand against the teaching that “Mystery Babylon” could be Jerusalem because it goes against God’s word.

There are many scriptures that prove this… but here is the short and firm answer.

Mystery Babylon is destroyed and will NEVER be a city again.

Revelation 18:21
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

In VERY STARK CONTRAST... Jerusalem will NEVER be destroyed and will continue to be a city FOREVER.

Jeremiah 31:35-40
35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. 37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. 38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. 39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

1 Peter 2:9-10
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Hi family, I was going to do a livestream tonight (Feb 6th) but I have to re-schedule because I've got a cold and some of my kids are under the weather as well.

So just wanted to give yall a heads up 🙂

BEWARE those who backload the gospel with works!

This is an excellent video.

This made me laugh!

1 John 2:3-4
3 And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Well, this is very important... What is His commandment and how do we keep it? Just a little later on John tells us in chapter 3.

1 John 3:23-24
23 And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
24 And He that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.

Again, this is very important... How then do we receive the Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of His glory.

So then brothers and sisters, please understand that SALVATION comes by grace through faith...

You are not saved by keeping the law...

You are not saved by doing good deeds...

You do not have to demonstrate speaking in tongues to have the Holy Spirit...

You do not have to endure and prove yourself for some unspecified period of time in order to receive the Holy Spirit..

No, we are saved by grace through faith in the gospel...not of works! And we receive the Holy Spirit by BELIEVING in the gospel!

Galatians 3:2-14
Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? 7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Are we called to walk in holiness and purity and reverence? Yes absolutely!

But YOU do not save YOU...

Our works do NOT SAVE US...

YOU are saved by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND FAITH IN JESUS.

📌 NEVER forget this...

It is NOT "the change in a person" that saves a person...

it is the BELIEF in Jesus that saves a person.

WAY too many people get this completely backwards.

Galatians 3:26
For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus.

Are we changed after we become a child of God (by grace through faith)?

Yes!


📌 How are we changed? Do we instantly become perfect people who don't sin?
NO, we still have fallen sinful flesh, but our SPIRIT is alive through Christ Jesus.

Romans 7:23-25
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

1 Peter 3:18
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,


📌 Do we say that it's totally ok to sin then because of God's grace? No!

Romans 6:1-4
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


📌 Do we loose our salvation if we sin after we become a child of God (by grace through faith)? Can we loose our salvation?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

2 Timothy 2:13
13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful— for He cannot deny himself.

Romans 8:31-39
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jude 1:24-25
24 Now to HIM who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.


📌 So then...We are changed because we are REDEEMED and made a new creation by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 6:14-15
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

When we place our faith upon Jesus, believing the gospel, we are HIS FOREVER.

We (as God's children) still fall and stumble, but God remains faithful through it all.

Trust in the Lord, ask forgiveness when you sin, and know that God will NEVER disown one of His children. He LOVES you!
