Spreading the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus. Giving God the glory in all circumstances and allowing Him to transform lives and hearts through the atoning work on the Cross. "For we are saved by grace through faith...Ephesians 2:8-9. Love and praise Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. Love thy neighbor as thyself and these are the 2 greatest commandments. For even Christ Jesus came not to be served but to serve and sacrifice.

WE ARE ONE IN HIS GREAT LOVE
" And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."
John 17: These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
IN THE WORDS OF JESUS: IN CYBERSPACE AND ON EARTH (Recited by Chaim, least)
Today, this world faces many crises. One of the major ones is this "gender identity" issue. As a former employee in the medical field, being a male or female has nothing to do with feelings or emotions. It is a matter of genetics. Your body will be either male or female. I guess I just don't understand what the confusion is all about. I also don't understand why sex is being taught to kindergartners. They don't understand and it only confuses them and most think it's "yucky." Teaching them that it's "normal" to be attracted to the same sex and "okay" to have sex-change operations really bothers me, not morally but ethically right, regardless of your beliefs. Children are just not old enough to comprehend this issue at this age. I wasn't even sure I was going to post this until I saw the video I've included. This is not judgment or condemnation. Most boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 12 don't like the other gender. They tend to rather play with members of their own sex. Since they haven't reached puberty and have no idea what "attraction" is, many may feel that since they prefer to "play" with their own genders that they must be a homosexual or "gay." I simply don't believe that children at that age should be taught sex education, be it hetero- or homosexuality. Bullying is a different story. If a child has same-sex parents and others are bullying them because of that, it should be handled immediately and harshly. This is not about bullying. It's about having to live with natural consequences of our choices, be they good OR bad!
I just read an article in Charisma Magazine that Target is taking a big hit in sales because many have chosen to boycott them because of their allowing men and women to use the same bathrooms. People like Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner, who choose to change their gender know the consequences and some aren't going to be pleasant. Many people simply aren't going to accept this as normal. They will face ridicule. I feel this is more than a moral issue here but more of a safety one. Men, such as Bruce Jenner, are well-built, athletic men and without hormone replacement therapy, their bodies are only going to produce male hormones. It is medically proven that men who cannot naturally rid themselves of testosterone can become very violent, similar to roid-rage, which is taking steroids for body building. He is now facing a prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter, although I'm not sure of the details. He's afraid he'll have to go to a men's prison. When does safety of others outweigh the needs of one? Anyone can "pretend" to be gender-confused just to go into women's bathrooms to rape or assault women. It's already happened at a few stores that allow this.
Bruce Springsteen, a sell-out and way passed his "day in the sun," cancelled a concert in my home state of North Carolina recently, citing that he would not play his music for a state that supported bigotry. Well, what the news failed to mention is that out of 10,000 seats, less than 4,000 had been sold. It wasn't about bigotry, it was an excuse to get out of a concert that he would lose money on. He was my "man" way back in the 80s. I was in love with him, well the man he appeared to be. He was for the "working man," a patriot, a man who cared about people. Well, he cares about some but how much did he care about those who had bought tickets, the vendors, the security guards, hotels and all the other working people who had depended on him showing up to make money? Apparently not very much. Another Hollywood sell-out. It's all about the fame, celebrity and money. Yes, men and women are equal but we are not the same. The sad fact is, ALL people have crosses to bear and sins we have to overcome. No sin is worse...or better...than any other. We are all called to Him and if we allow Him to work in our lives, we can overcome anything. Bad choices always lead to ruin. Homosexuality, gambling, drug addiction, alcoholism, adultery, free sex, divorce...they all have serious consequences in our lives. Christians are not exempt and there is nothing under the sun that cannot be forgiven or overcome. Equality does not mean we are no different. I've talked with many men and they all say the same thing, they don't want women in their bathrooms either. They like their privacy just as much as women do. Wouldn't a very simple and fair way is to provide a separate bathroom with just one facility so that men or women with children of the opposite sex can safely allow their children to use a bathroom alone? My son did not want to go into the women's bathroom after the age of 4. However, I felt I had no choice. Allowances can be made without violating the privacy and safety of others.
Kim Davies, a Christian woman who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses was persecuted by the law and the media. What was not told was that this couple had driven through 2 other towns to come specifically to her, knowing her stance on this. They did it for show. Also, before accepting her position, she informed them that if gay marriage became legal, she would not participate in it. She was assured that a provision would be made so that she didn't have to have her name assigned to them. She was later vindicated and allowances were made so that she didn't have to go against her conscience but others in the office were willing to give out licenses. I thought this was fair and just to all. It is my belief that marriages are made in Heaven. Having a "legal contract" on earth to protect assets doesn't affect me. I don't have to marry anyone. I also don't have to participate or celebrate it either and I don't feel anyone, regardless of their beliefs, should be forced to bake cakes or in any way participate in anything that goes against their conscience. A Muslim or Jewish restaurant should not have to serve pork if they don't want to. A Christian store shouldn't have to either. If they want fairness for their world-views, there must also be fairness for those of us with Spiritual POVs. Fair is fair and to have it any other way would be a huge violation of our rights. Heterosexual marriages should be celebrated and honored too. Yes, homosexuality is a sin but so is murder, stealing, adultery, sex outside of marriage and if any sin be worse than all others it would have to be LYING. Lies destroy more than any other sin.
I have a family member that is gay. I love them very much. Her marriage ended in a divorce. The facts don't lie, most of them do. Of course, most heterosexual marriages do as well. Maybe it's not only who we marry but how we view marriage that is wrong. I've been divorced twice because I made some very unwise decisions in my youth and I paid the price. I will be married to my current husband for 28 years in a week. We should not have made it but we did. There's a lot to be said for endurance. My marriage is radically different than it was when we first got married. Today, we are on our honeymoon. No kids, our finances are stable if not secure, and we love to be with each other and it's not about sex anymore.
Maybe we should re-examine what our own marriages to see how we are teaching our children what lifetime commitments should be like. We should teach by example. Husbands, love your wives like Christ Jesus loves His church. Women, respect your husband. Whether he is the main provider or not, he needs to feel like he's taking care of his family. It is essential to his mental health. Neither man or woman has the right to abuse the other and cheating on your spouse will tear your marriage apart, even if you stay together. Trust is a very fragile thing and once lost, almost impossible to ever regain. Strive for 50!
Never compromise your standards, the Word of God or water it down. We are to have compassion and love for those who are gender-confused, gay or bi-sexual. We are not their judges. We are to teach them the Gospel and let go and let God. We are to love them just as we love everyone else. They should never be persecuted, especially by Christians. We are to be like Christ Jesus. He didn't condemn the adulteress and neither should we! Written by: Brenda Alexander Note: If you reshare, please remove my name, my blog or any identifying information for the privacy of my family!

One Year Bible - Day 4: Genesis 7:1-9:17; Matthew 4:1-22; Proverbs 1:1-17
In the story of the flood, we read of the covenant made with Noah. As we move into the story of Jesus, we come into the realm of the new covenant. God was doing a new thing, something greater than anything that ever happened under the old covenant. At the outset of Jesus' ministry, the devil made another attempt to undermine the work of God. He tried to distract Jesus from His mission. His methods bear a striking similarity to those used in the Garden of Eden. He tries to sow seeds of doubt - "If you are the Son of God ..." (Matthew 4:3,6). Quoting Scripture (Matthew 4:6), he gives the appearance of spirituality. Satan's goal becomes clear in the third temptation. He wants Jesus to "bow down and worship" him (Matthew 4:9). Satan is defeated. Jesus is victorious. This victory can be ours as we grasp the truth: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7), as we learn, when tempted by Satan, to say, with Jesus, "It is written" (Matthew 4:4,7,10).
God Never waste pain that His children go through! This is a GraceFull reality but a legalistic falsehood. The reason for this is that the Legalist still see consequences of actions but the GraceFull see The God that is out of the box. This has been a slow growth reality for me as growing up legalistic I still at times struggle with this concept but it is growing on me even now.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.” Ephesians 1:3-6
Take a close look at this scripture again. What verbs are past tense? In Whose sight are you “holy and blameless”? Was that at all by your effort? Then what can cause blame for you? Who gave you blamelessness? Is it temporary?
2 gods which do you follow?
The god of consequences while making perfect human sense is divinely limited In scope, power and ability! In addition this god is the cosmic customs checker or police god with a big stick! This is the god that still has people following law instead of His voice, rules instead of Love and trying to cram people into group think! This is the god through whom the stripes of Jesus did not heal completely and the captive still has one foot stuck in the cell door!
The God of the GraceFull reality does discipline those He Loves – but He Loves even His enemies! So what does this look like? It looks like Ebola hitting American shores because as a nation we fail to care about others in pain and to Love like Christ Loved! It looks like the church in America coming under persecution because it fails to teach True Grace, wants to exclude certain groups from His flock and make the wealthy comfortable while shunning the poor, hurting and least of these in His kingdom!
The reason for personal pain that I have found in my journey and that of others is Always centered on personal growth! Growing in greater Trust to Him, Rest in His Love for you and/or Love for others – is again from what I have experienced and seen always the reason for personal pain! Being open to this allows you to take an honest look in the mirror and ask yourself and God, “what is this lesson at this moment for?”
Believing in this way Has opened me up to multiple healing, a journey of Peace and a Life of and in Abundant Grace!
8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 10 Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. (2 Corinthians 4:8-10 NLT)
I know a lot of people who are believers and none of them are without suffering in their lives. The idea that when we come to Christ we enter into this protected life where nothing can touch us and all is well all the time is not a Biblical construct but, rather, a deception of the enemy. All sorts of problems afflict those who believe in Christ- money problems, health problems, family problems, etc. Psalm 34:19 says the righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. We are promised that the Lord will deliver us from our problems, not prevent us from having them in the first place.
Philippians 1:9 says that it has been granted to us not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for Him. The New Living Translation calls it "the privilege" of suffering for Him. This comes from the same Greek word that translates "to show favor or grace to" and conveys the meaning that God has chosen a certain amount of hardships for us to go through in life for the sake of growing us in and glorifying Himself through our faith. It is in these hard times that our faith is tested and shown to be true or lacking, and it is in these trials that God is glorified when we turn to Him instead of ourselves.

The Biggest Lie Ever Told by satan..... Lucifer, the most beautiful angel, rebelled against God in Heaven. He wanted to be God. He is the prince of the air or, as some say, the "god" of the world. However, many today, even Christians don't know that the biggest lie satan ever told us is.....

About the time of the end the biblical prophet Ezekiel tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations, known as the battle of Gog and Magog, we find this in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future. Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion. For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade. With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.
As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future. The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance." The leaders of this coalition will be Russia and Iran, and currently both of these nations are right on Israel's doorstep, under the pretense of battling ISIS in Syria. I believe that there are a couple of unfulfilled prophecies that will lead-up to this massive invasion of Israel, and as we read today's headlines, we find that the fulfillment of these two prophesied events, could happen very soon!
I watch some television shows and I also watch a lot of movies on PureFlix. As a former "coach potato," I know just how television can effect your thoughts, and decide that because it's accepted, it's okay with God. IF you watch television, choose wisely what you subject your mind to. Sometimes we ALL forget that what we're watching is fictional and not facts. It can and does affect your thoughts, be they good or bad. The truth is, at least for my generation, there's nothing being made today that's even worth watching. Also, if possible, record your television shows and movies so you can avoid the commercials that are oftentimes worse than the shows. I'm NOT saying viewing is a sin but you do need to be aware of how Hollywood is trying to further remove God and Christ Jesus out of of lives. It is manipulative so guard your minds always! Choose everything you do wisely and if you are watching a show and get a feeling you shouldn't, if I were you, I'd turn it off, even if you like it. You can always find out what happened at the end. I do movie/TV criticism and I plan on making a list of shows where I think the message is more Godly than some that claim to be Biblical. Love always in Christ Jesus! Brenda Alexander
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel44:23
Praise the Lord brothers and sisters in Christ. By the help of the Lord I hope to continue with our discussion of Hollywood and programming. We have thus far covered some Etymology, Definitions, the Spiritual side, and spiritual side effects of movies/Television programming. We discussed how some actors and actresses who make a living being broadcast ed into our homes via the TV or DVD/Blue-ray etc. won’t watch TV or even own one. Even a self-proclaimed Satan worshiper who wouldn’t allow his children to watch TV because he thought it was evil. WOW, the Luciferian thinks TV is evil…the word irony comes to mind. I may touch upon those subjects again slightly because there is ample amounts of data, but I would like to touch upon the physical, emotional, and Neurological aspects and side effects of Programming. There will be several hyperlinks or copy and paste URLs here. Please take the time to check them out to learn more on the topic/s words they are near. Television is used to hypnotize the masses subtly. What is hypnotizing and what are its origins? Glad you asked.
Hypnosis : (n) the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Its use in therapy, typically to recover suppressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion, has been revived but is still controversial.
o the state of consciousness produced by hypnosis.
(Above definition came from google. Below from Merriam Webster)
1. 1: a trance like state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject
2. 2: any of various conditions that resemble sleep
shortening of neuro-hypnotism, term introduced by British surgeon James Braid (1795-1860) in 1842 (etymonline.com) hypnosis (n.)
1869, "the coming on of sleep," coined (as an alternative to hypnotism) from hypno- "sleep" + -osis "condition." But the distinction was not sustained, and by 1880 hypnosis was being used of artificially induced conditions. Franz Anton Mesmer, a Viennese physician who got his doctorate for a plagiarized dissertation on how the planets affect health, practiced Mesmerism which led to Hypnotism. Mesmer was also an occult Freemason! Mesmerism is a bit of medical quackery developed in the 1806 Sibly18th-century by Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer. It involves some social role-playing with the mesmerizer making suggestions and his clients becoming absolutely mesmerized by him. Mesmer used his extraordinary powers of suggestion to send people into frenzied convulsions or sleep-like trances. He was so successful that to this day we use his name to describe the exercise of such powers over others. (from An article called the Satanic origin of hypnotism by David J Stewart) http://www.historyofhypnosis.org/ this should be a very interesting read on the history of Hypnosis. I recommend checking it out.
Now very briefly here is the definition of witchcraft as given by a former Wicca Practitioner “Magic is the manipulation of images, objects, sounds, or words to achieve an altered state of consciousness. Like the word Grimoire is simply a fancy way of saying book of spells. A spell can be just that, spelling out specific words in tones, and certain languages”
This brings art, secular books, music, jewelry, etc. into a whole new light How does this tie in to the word of God? These practices are akin to what’s in the following scripture: "When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD." -Deuteronomy 18:9-12
So it’s witchcraft and a tool used to catapult propaganda. Starting to sound like a conspiracy now right? First off, the use of the word conspiracy became much more frequent as the media began to indoctrinate its loyal viewers with the word as a deterrent from those who would and do expose the truth they desperately try to hide. The news must be real though, I mean these people are funny and sometimes witty right?
https://youtu.be/eZVv2AOCnaA- (you really only need a few minutes of viewing as this video can be repetitive) https://youtu.be/X1G9nCFgRfwhttps://youtu.be/2yFQqDsk_LM-Note I am not promoting the rise up and fight thing at the end. As saints we fight in the spirit real by taking a stand for holiness in this one. Still think MKULTRA is conspiracy? Ever hear of Operation Mocking Bird? How about MK ULTRA? What exactly is MKULTRA government project designed for the study of how the brain works. (The study has already been conducted). Remember Mayim Bialik with the PHD in Neuroscience? While watching TV in just a few short minutes the brain goes from Beta wave state (Normal waking state) to an Alpha wave state (Alpha brain waves are present in deep relaxation and usually when the eyes are closed, when you’re daydreaming or during light meditation. It is an optimal time to program the mind and it also heightens the imagination, visualization, memory, learning and concentration. This also means that in this state while watching TV you cannot critically analyze the data being input into your brain and more susceptible to suggestion.)
Commercials are in many cases engineered by psychologists to ensure that company’s not only get your attention but also persuade some to purchase their products. Now when you expose this agenda the one who stand to lose (mere fractions of) income because of the exposure, they get upset and retaliate much like When people became upset that Paul was preaching the truth and exposing the false religions and false gods.
24) For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
25) Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
26) Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
27) So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
28) And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Act 19:24-28 https://youtu.be/EC7VLjIw8hY
They will throw in the human element in a film or show so that you can in some way identify with the character. (one example) So many sad and brutally unfair things happen to the character from some bullies and/or antagonist/s and then at the end of the movie their revenge comes in the form of slaughtering their former tormenters. This provoked an emotional response. 2 Things happened just then.
You were glad their tormentors were killed
This movie glorified sins and you were happy about it.
What do I mean glorifying sin? Take James Bond for example. I used to enjoy his movies. However, he is a womanizer, fornicator, and murderer. These elements are in every movie he is in, some of these same elements are found in kids cartoons as well as TV shows and movies. Soap operas are included. There is one called passions where they have witches and magic as well as a familiar (familiar spirit) . Beginning to see the pattern here? They can’t even come up with anything new. It is always good VS evil just like right now with the battle for our souls. We were born into a war where the victor is predetermined (Jesus) we can choose to be victors or become collateral damage. I warn you this next video (below) has some random foul language in it, it is very few and far between. Meaning that it is not filled with profanity, not a constant bombardment of the language, and I in no way promote it but this is one of the best documentary that has a great collection of data that prevents me from having to put several more videos here. Again. It is not a requirement to understand these points. But this has some of almost every other video I put in this.https://youtu.be/-b9j6fJqD-g
Another interesting point is this: more and more it seems impossible to not come across something blasphemous, or lewd, or demonic. Even National Pornographic…wait I mean National geographic constantly has topless women. Oh you thought it was about culture? Then these people curse God, or Blaspheme, why is it (the TV or Movie) still on? You won’t let someone curse your wife/husband or your children or even you but you sit and allow yourself to be entertained by literally possessed people and the devils operating in them as well as watching the scripts/ plots unfold that were written by these demonic entities (as outlined in the previous post on this topic-Automatic Writing) I understand that the storyline may be captivating and the CGIs as well as choreography is top notch by actors you enjoy, but ask yourself is momentary distraction worth your soul? Yes your soul. You are eating and drinking with the world! Eating and drinking the same filth that the world is drunk on. Now let me clarify this does not exclude sports.
Now that you know this remember these things. There is ample evils seen, insinuated, and spoken on TV/movies.
14)Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty”. 2 Corinthians 6:16 “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
”Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned”? Proverbs 6:27
We know God is Omnipresent, so he sees and hears and knows the filth we are watching, listening to, and enjoying.
“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” 1 Peter 3:12
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good”. Proverbs 15:3
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”. 2 Corinthians 7:1
“Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy”. Leviticus 19:2
I am going to conclude this entire topic now with saying that Jesus loves you, I Love you all, and May We All Draw Closer To Christ In Spirit & In Truth!
