We Love His Appearing!

 The time is near for our Lord Jesus to return. See the signs of the times, beloved. Please read the Scriptures that follow and may your joy be full because our Lord Jesus said He is coming quickly! Yes, be joyful even during your trials and suffering! It will all be worth it in the end because our Jesus is with us always and promised never to leave us nor forsake us. Even when our flesh body dies as we go through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil for our Lord Jesus is with us then and as we enter our heavenly home. To live is Christ, to die is gain! Death is a blessing to the saints. Rejoice, saints! We do not have to fear anyone or anything. Love God and love one another, even our enemies and bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ which is the law of LOVE.
We belong to Jesus our Lord and our God, the Alpha and Omega, the great 'I AM' who always was, always is and forever shall be. He is the same yesterday, today and forever! Trust Him only. Not any fallible man who is but a breath in the wind, here today, gone tomorrow. Praise be to God who alone deserves all the glory. Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus, come.

II Peter 3:8-15,17-18 NKJV
8 'But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,...
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.'

Words Seasoned with Salt

 Let our words be seasoned with salt, be respectful when addressing unbelievers, like the words of apostle Paul in Acts 17.

☆¨´`'*°☆.¸.☆¨´`'*°☆.
Colossians 4:5-6 NKJV
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Titus 3:2-7
2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.
3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Acts 17:22-25

Addressing the Areopagus

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:
24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 

 ☆¨´`'*°☆.¸.☆¨´`'*°☆.
©️Barnes, Albert. "Commentary on Colossians 4:6".
It rather means that our conversation should be such as to show that we are governed by the principles of religion, and that there is unfeigned piety in the heart. This will indeed make us mild, courteous, agreeable, and urbane in our conversation; but it will do more than this. It will imbue our discourse with the spirit of religion, so as to show that the soul is under the influence of love to the Redeemer.

Seasoned with salt - Salt, among the Greeks, was the emblem of wit. Here the meaning seems to be, that our conversation should be seasoned with piety or grace in a way similar to that in which we employ salt in our food. It makes it wholesome and palatable. So with our conversation. If it be not imbued with the spirit of piety, it is flat, insipid, unprofitable, injurious. The spirit of piety will make it what it should be - useful, agreeable, beneficial to mankind. This does not mean that our conversation is to be always, strictly speaking, religious - wherever we may be - any more than our food should be mere salt; but it means that, whatever be the topic, the spirit of piety should be diffused through it - as the salt in our food should properly season it all - whatever the article of food may be.

That ye may know how ye ought to answer every man - Be imbued with the spirit of piety, that you may not utter any thing that would be rash and foolish, but be prepared to answer anyone who may question you about your religion in a way that will show that you understand its nature, and that will tend to edification. This remark may be extended further. It may be understood as meaning also, “be imbued with the spirit of religion, and you will be able to answer any man appropriately on any subject. If he asks you about the evidence or the nature of religion, you will be able to reply to him. If he converses with you on the common topics of the day, you will be able to answer him in a mild, kind, affable spirit. If he asks you of things of which you are ignorant; if he introduces some topic of science with which you are not acquainted, you will not be ashamed to confess your ignorance, and to seek instruction. If he addresses you in a haughty, insolent, and overbearing manner, you will be able to repress the risings of your temper, and to answer him with gentleness and kindness; compare Luke 2:46.

None Should Perish

God loved the world so much that He gave us Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Let us not rejoice when our enemies fall. It will displease God. Christians, do not let your love wax cold because of sin increasing/lawlessness. God saved you and I and we were also rebellious against God and sinned against Him, yet He forgave us when we repented of our sins. Be patient with one another and with unbelievers. Rather pray for them than condemn them. We love much because we have been forgiven much. Well that's how it ought to be; that we love much.
See how much God loves all sinners, that Jesus died on the cross while we were yet sinners. His desire is that sinners should repent/believe in the name of Jesus/turn from their wicked ways and be saved. Run to Jesus all you sinners. He is waiting for you with open arms to receive you into the Beloved. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Who would shun a love such as this?🩷

Ezekiel 33:11

This is our God

 ♡~•~♡~•~♡🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂♡~•~♡~•~♡

This is our God! This is who He is! This is what He does! Our God loves us! Our God saves us! Our God leads us like a flock!
Our Shepherd! Our Saviour! Our Rock!
His Name is YHVH. This is our God, King Jesus.

PSALM 77:12-20 CSB
I will reflect on all you have done
and meditate on your actions.

God, your way is holy.
What god is great like God?
You are the God who works wonders;
you revealed your strength among the peoples.
With power you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

The water saw you, God.
The water saw you; it trembled.
Even the depths shook.
The clouds poured down water.
The storm clouds thundered;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
lightning lit up the world.
The earth shook and quaked.
Your way went through the sea
and your path through the vast water,
but your footprints were unseen.
You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

PSALM 78:12-16 CSB
He worked wonders in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.
He split the sea and brought them across; the water stood firm like a wall.
He led them with a cloud by day and with a fiery light throughout the night.
He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.
He brought streams out of the stone
and made water flow down like rivers.

~♡~

PSALMS 40:2-5 CSB
He brought me up from a desolate pit,
out of the muddy clay,
and set my feet on a rock,
making my steps secure.

He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and they will trust in the Lord.

How happy is anyone
who has put his trust in the Lord
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!

Lord my God, you have done many things—
your wondrous works and your plans for us;
none can compare with you.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

Rise up! Lift up your voice!

Facebook is preventing me from logging into my personal account and therefore I cannot admin my two Christian pages that I created through that personal account. I made those pages years ago and it took years to grow them. For no reason FB prevents me from accessing my account. They sent me two e-mails that someone wanted to change my password. I thought it was fake and ignored it and rushed to activate two-Factor Authentication. Then my problems started and I was not able to log in again even though FB allowed me to change my password. FB keeps throwing me a pop up that claims they don't recognise the device I'm trying to log in from. Absolutely ridiculous. I use my phone and laptop always.
I e-mailed FB but have not heard anything from them.

I cried so many tears over my Facebook pages. I prayed about it and the other day God led me in His word and I knew it was for me! To not stop but to continue to lift up my voice to bring good tidings.
May God bless me seven-fold what the enemy has stolen from me. Who knows, maybe God will get me back my pages or maybe God allowed it because He has something better for me.

Never trust these platforms. They will cancel you at the click of a button.

When the enemy tries to silence your voice, rise up! Lift up your voice! Lift up the name of JESUS!
