Synonyms for Emulation: mimicry, mirroring, copying, following, echoing, imitation, simulation, and aping

People often ask for my opinions on music, movies, and entertainers. They frequently mention the entertainer’s Christian faith in their questions. However, it doesn’t matter how much an entertainer claims to be Christian; their true nature will be evident through their actions. How many times have you seen singers/actors proclaim their Christian beliefs while simultaneously producing videos/movies that are highly inappropriate or even demonic?

1 Corinthians 10:21 – KJV
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Matthew 7:15-20 – KJV
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

  1. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
  2. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
  3. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
  4. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
  5. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

If they are a Christian, you will notice a change.

The Holy Spirit cannot be involved in someone’s life without evidence of change. Sometimes, the change is slow, and other times, it can be radical, but either way, it’s undeniable.

It’s crucial to be discerning about the music, movies, TV shows, books, games, and social media content you consume. If any form of entertainment or engagement promotes corrupt thoughts and actions, such as degrading women, glorifying drug use, robbery, murder, and sex, it should be avoided. After all, they were put before you in hopes of you emulating them. Remember, your discernment is a powerful tool. If something causes you to stumble, it’s best to let go of it.

Be very particular about who you give your time to.

1 Corinthians 15:33 – KJV
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

That scripture doesn’t just refer to the people you sit and talk to physically; it also includes those you listen to, whether it’s on TV, radio, or other means.

Thanks for reading, and God bless.

“In the days that have passed, if I failed to thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I would like to apologize and ask for your forgiveness, my Lord. Thank you for this day and every day that you have created.”

Psalms 118:24 – KJV
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

PSALMS 28:7 – KJV
THE LORD is my Strength and my Shield; my heart Trusts in HIM, and I am Helped: therefore my heart Greatly Rejoiceth:, and with my song will I Praise HIM.

LUKE 1:37 – KJV
For with GOD, Nothing shall be impossible!

“Lord, you have never failed me. You have always uplifted me, a solid stone upon which to plant my feet and a foundation that provides mental, physical, and spiritual stability and strength when I turn to you. Throughout times in my life when I didn’t acknowledge you and at one point even doubted your existence, you were there quietly yet tirelessly waiting for me. Looking back on the many negative events that have transpired in my lifetime, many on account of my choices and thoughts, I have analyzed many, if not all, of the destructive situations I have been in. It was you, my Lord, my God, that sustained me and kept me from harm and watched over me.”

PSALMS 121:7 – KJV
THE LORD shall Preserve thee from all evil; HE shall Preserve thy soul.

I can never thank you enough! Lord, you have given me hope and a purpose to live. You have offered me what only the true God, our creator, could do. You gave your only son, Jesus, to take my place, willingly paying the sacrificial price for my wrongs. By doing this, you have caused everything good and lovely in my life to take place when death was the only thought that I had in mind. I thank you for everything that you’ve put before me and everything that you’ve taken from me.

I am grateful to you, Lord, for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Direct communication and personal guidance through the Holy Spirit are necessary for success. “With such brutal negativity being imposed on your children by the world,” the Holy Spirit serves as a sword and a light that illuminates the path for me and others, giving me confidence in my direction choices.

1 John 2:27 – KJV
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Thank you, Lord, for your teachings and your wisdom. Thank you for all the times throughout my life that I have felt like an absolute failure and couldn’t go on any further. It was you who encouraged me and uplifted me like no one else could do. Thank you, Lord, for being there for me when no one else wanted anything to do with me. You stood by my side no matter what. You opened doors for me in my life that only you could open. I can do nothing without you, and I can do all things with you.

So many times, I’ve wanted to quit, give up, and throw in the towel. Every time I have, you rushed in and lifted me back up, giving me stronger hope. No matter how many times I fall, no matter how many times I quit, you remain a rock that I can stand on, who never fails me. I’m renewed with hope, joy, and love by your encouragement. I have a friend and a savior who is never against me. Your love has no end; your mercy is timeless and never fading, and as it endures, it grows stronger. You are my redeemer, my awe. You vitalize and recharge me through love.

“My dreams are fulfilled through you. My heartache is swallowed up and put to rest, and your comfort is overwhelming. Your whisper puts my mind at ease, and my joy comes from knowing you. You always have an answer, no matter how bad things may seem. You are without failure and the only certainty in my life. Your perfect love has consumed my fear forever. No matter how often I have told you I am sorry, you’ve forgiven me. Your depths of forgiveness are unsearchable because there is no end.”

Thank you, Lord, for watching over all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and for being a loving father to all your children. You are an amazing God who has done much for us and asked for so little in return. My words can never fully praise you, my thoughts can never dwell on you enough, my heart can never love you, and my soul can never seek you enough. Your presence is what I desire, and your loving energy rejuvenates me.

“I can never thank you enough, Lord!”

There is something deeply woven within me that you cannot see. It’s a seed planted long ago that has led to a troubled mind and a heart that has become numb to all the madness that defines me. On the surface, things seem fine; however, you judge me by my outward appearance and believe all is perfect when you look at me. That’s what the enemy is counting on.

You never notice the battle that I’m in. Inside me are “torments” that have no end. Everything I touch, I wreck, and I do it all without notice. You can never see it because all you see is perfection when you look at me. You’re not able to understand the facts of who I am and what I have become.

“You cannot hear my cry for help because of the false reality in which you live. Everything has seemed perfect since the moment I came into this world. You’ve never noticed the unseen hell that has been after me since birth, slowly creeping up on me through a doorway of which you were clueless! You know how to physically protect me, keeping me safe and away from harm, but it’s what you cannot see, hear, or touch that has its claws deep in me.”

“It has shaped me into a monster you will never notice. The foundation and all the frameworks have slowly been built over the years silently under your nose. You’re oblivious to all the dangers that surround me every day. I’m destroyed daily by my ‘lack of knowledge’ about someone who is after my mind, soul, and heart and who crafts a plan day after day to obtain them. He has carefully devised a scheme that will be sold as harmless fun to the buyer.”

“It was just a corrupted seed planted among the good, blending in and going unnoticed. I never stood a chance against such evil. I was quickly subdued by it from birth. You were controlled by devices that kept you busy, not paying attention to what was happening. You did not realize you were being programmed by the wickedness slowly enveloping me layer by layer every second.”

You fed me its lies, wrapped them up, and put them under the tree as if they were objects of gold to me. It was withholding the truth from me about “THE ONLY ONE” who can set me free from this destined evil that awaits my life. Every year, my god came down the chimney, delivering me joy while silently choking out the existence of the TRUE GOD that died for us.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer (allow) little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

– Luke 18:16 – KJV

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

– John 8:32 – KJV

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

– John 8:36 – KJV

All things are possible to those that believe.

You showed me a way when I couldn’t see one. When I thought it was over, you showed me a new beginning. When I was tired, you gave me strength. When I felt the worst about a situation, you showed me the goodness of it.

When I was hungry, you fed me. When I thought I had nothing to wear, you clothed me. When I was a prisoner, you freed me. When I was in a hurry, you were patient. When I was full of pride, you showed me humility and mercy.

When I could see only failure, you showed me Victory. When I was faithless, you were faithful. When I was emotional, you were understanding. When I was broken, you put me back together. When I was overwhelmed with sadness, you gave me unspeakable joy.

You took me in when I was an outcast. When I was fearful, you made me fearless; when I was foolish, you gave me wisdom. When I had nothing, you gave me everything. When I was dead, you filled me with life. You turned my hate into love, my weeping into laughter, and delivered a peace beyond understanding to my conflicts.

In all my darkness, you visited me and freely gave me an eternal light. You reduced every mountain I have ever faced to nothing, and no matter how deep the valley I’ve traveled was, you filled it with love.

All things are made possible by You.

Mark 9:23 – KJV
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Jesus, you changed everything, and I can never thank you enough.

Thanks for reading, and God bless.

Unmasking the Demons: The Untold Story of Madness

You label it insanity but are not willing to understand the demons that are behind the madness; it is so much more than insanity. Demonic encounters that you never knew could exist. You dismiss it and label it far from the truth.You lock people up in a padded room and tell them why they’re insane! You tell them all the meds help, but yet you don’t understand what’s truly wrong with them.

The Art of Disguise: How Demons Elude Detection

It was here before we were, and it has years of PRACTICE. It cleverly disguises itself as something different each time, taking your ability to see it for what it is. It has so many scientific names that a new name is born daily. You label it all as mentally ill, and it had to be from some abuse from the person’s childhood, or maybe they just took one too many drugs.

The Evil’s Cunning: How It Misleads and Manipulates

It’s the same evil that’s fooling you that has you labeling people as insane. Putting them in a straight jacket, tying them to the chair, and inject the medication that the demons have instructed you to do. Yet you say they’re insane.

The Bible makes it clear: insanity is not a mere mental disorder but rather a manifestation of demonic possession. The scriptures provide a profound insight into the nature of insanity.

Mark 5:1-20
New Living Translation

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Man
So they arrived at the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gerasenes. When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil[b] spirit came out from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with a chain. Whenever he was put into chains and shackles—as he often was—he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones.

When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw him, ran to meet him, and bowed low before him. With a shriek, he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In the name of God, I beg you, don’t torture me!” For Jesus had already said to the spirit, “Come out of the man, you evil spirit.”

Then Jesus demanded, “What is your name?”

And he replied, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.” Then the evil spirits begged him again and again not to send them to some distant place.

There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby. “Send us into those pigs,” the spirits begged. “Let us enter them.”

So Jesus gave them permission. The evil spirits came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd of about 2,000 pigs plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.

The herdsmen fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran. People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid. Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon-possessed man and the pigs. And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.

Thanks for reading. God bless you.

Resting in the Certainty of Eternity

I’m not worried about what tomorrow brings because I’m resting in the certainty of eternity with my KING. I won’t be caught up in the fear of the unknown. My feet are firmly planted with my KING.  Every second of the day that passes, HE holds my existence in place. There is nothing that I cannot withstand. He gives me Victory in all that I do. 

Fearless in the Face of the Unknown

There is no dwelling on ‘what if.’ Those words don’t even enter my mind.  I left all doubts behind me the day I said yes to my KING.  I said yes to my LORD and SAVIOR, my KING. He wanted to be my FRIEND, nothing else like HIM. HE’S THE only one who never turns HIS back on me.  The rest of the world can cuss me and hate and desire to kill me. 

The Unwavering Presence of the King

In every trial, my KING is my shield and my strength. I can stand tall in the midst of a storm, untouched by its fury. The snow may fall in a blizzard, but I am safe and warm in the presence of my KING. No matter what life throws at me, my KING is my fortress. 

He is my protector and provider. He is so much more than I can ever express, but what is truly unique is that he can be your KING. All you have to do is choose to proclaim him your KING. Then you’ll see why I have all this passion for our king. 

Proclaiming the Greatness of the King

You’ll begin to understand why I like shouting it from the rooftops.  It doesn’t matter how loud I scream about how GREAT HE is. It cannot be loud enough.  One thing is for sure: I will never give up. HE never gave up on us, which seems hard to imagine.  HIS love is like nothing else. It’s REAL, PURE, and forever flowing. 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

-Romans 10:13 – KJV

Thank you Jesus

Christian, the word alone sparks controversy and is sometimes considered wrong. When I first became a Christian, I just wanted to talk to other Christians and talk with them about THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; I never really thought it would be so hard. After all, we were on the same side. Still, there is so much division between Christians, and right now, Christian unity should be stronger than ever.

It is abundantly clear that Christianity is Under attack by governments all around the world. They say that it’s not, but their actions speak otherwise. If you look at the situation unfolding in Canada regarding Bill C-367, if passed, you could be arrested for quoting the bible.

In short, the bill would eliminate religious exemptions under the ‘hate speech’ section of the Criminal Code, potentially allowing for the arrest of individuals, including Christians, for expressing their beliefs.

As Christians, we must be there for each other and support one another, regardless of the circumstances. We should offer help and support to our fellow brothers and sisters in our church, neighborhood, and on social media. This is not about popularity; it’s about uniting as the body of Christ.

“The body has various functions. Our hands and arms are not meant for walking, and our legs are not meant to replace our hands. I don’t prefer one over the other. Each part has its purpose.”

“If I decided to walk down to the store, my hands wouldn’t reach down to trip my feet. My mouth would not curse or condemn me. My body functions in unity. There is an oneness about it that is visible to all. If a heavy object fell on my left hand, my right hand would be the first thing trying to get the object off of my left hand.”

“It’s easy to see a body functioning as one when you look at it. It’s just like seeing the body of Christ functioning as one – there’s a unity about it! The legs walk, and the hands don’t try to trip them; the mouth doesn’t curse them. The mind doesn’t try to convince them to cut off the legs, and they don’t see them as useless.”

The body of Christ functions similarly. Christians form the body of Christ, and the Holy Spirit serves as the guide, which is why the church should directly reflect the Holy Spirit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

    – Galatians 5:22-26 – KJV

    Teamwork (Unity) Gets things done!
    For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and everyone is one of another.

     – Romans 12:4-5 – KJV

    The Weight of Sin: A Burden on Life

    Sin has come to weigh you down, exhaust you, and leave you feeling hopeless to where you want to give up on life. It’s here to try to end you, your family, and anyone it can. Sin will work through you to bring others down and will work through others to bring you down. 

    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. – John 10:10 – KJV

    The above scripture is Jesus speaking, and the thief he refers to is Satan. He also tells us Satan is here to kill, steal, and destroy. That message is for you and everyone around you, including your spouse, children, family, and anyone else you come into contact with. 

    Origins of Sin: The Fall of Man

    After the fall of man, I’m Referring to when Adam and Eve took the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. You can read about it in Genesis chapter three, which outlines man’s disobedience to God. Even after man’s disobedience, God’s willingness to accept man if he will do what’s right is displayed in Genesis Chapter Four, verse seven.

    If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. – Genesis 4:7 – KJV

    The above scripture points out that if man was to do what is right, he’s accepted by God, and if you do not do the right thing, sin is at your door, and his (Satan’s) desire (lust)is you, but you must rule over it. 

    So, if you don’t do what is right, you give yourself away to sin out of your own free will. I say out of our free will because it says we must rule over it (sin). By choosing not to rule over, we accept it and put it in charge, and that is the path the world chose, which led to the flood of the earth.

    God’s Judgment: The Great Flood

    And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. – Genesis 6:5-9 – KJV

    The above scriptures highlight God’s judgment on sin (the flood) and establish God’s willingness to accept man (Noah) as a just man before God. Which supports Genesis 4:7: You are accepted if you do what is right. Even after the flood, the world continued to sin, and that’s when God, out of love, sent his only Son, Jesus, as a propitiation for our sins. 

    Redemption: God’s Love Through Christ

    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8 – KJV

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. – John 3:16-18 – KJV

    And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. – 1 John 2:2 – KJV

    Assurance in Redemption: Christ’s Purpose for You

    If you have called on Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and 

    If you’ve asked God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus and have asked God for the Holy Spirit, who will guide you through this world and into God’s eternal kingdom. You can rest assured it will happen. You can do all things in Christ!

    Christ didn’t die on the cross for you to become a failure. He died because he knew you would become a champion. Our Redeemer makes no mistakes. Jesus saw something in you when you couldn’t see “it” in yourself. Don’t give up; you were chosen for a purpose.

    Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another.  -John 15:16-17 – KJV

    According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, – Ephesians 1:4-5 – KJV

    The Power of Repentance and Forgiveness

    It doesn’t matter your sin or how long you’ve been doing it. What matters is that you acknowledge your sin to God, repent, and seek forgiveness through Jesus. Ask for The Holy Spirit and let God know that you desire The Holy Spirit in your life.

    The Gift of the Holy Spirit: A Heavenly Promise

    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? – Luke 11:13 – KJV

    The above scripture points out that if an evil person knows how to give a good gift, you should know that your heavenly Father, who knows no wrong and is the definition of love, will freely give you the gift of The Holy Spirit if you ask him.

    The Practice of Prayer: Communicating with God

    Here I am, Lord. I need you. I desire you, God; I depend on you to get through each day. I need The Holy Spirit to guide, teach, discipline, and create a worthy heart, soul, and mind to please you, Lord; I want to be a pleasure to you, Lord! In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen!

    Surrendering to the Holy Spirit: A Path to Guidance

    Holy Spirit, I surrender to you. That means everything you say, think, and do is constantly checked by the Holy Spirit. You’ve yielded your heart, soul, and mind to him (The Holy Spirit). He has become your mentor, and my mentor knows no failure.

    And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. – John 14:16-18 – KJV

    Living in Redemption: Embracing a Transformed Life

    You have been redeemed; do not doubt it. However, do not abuse God’s forgiveness.

    Therefore, to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. – James 4:17 – KJV

    Thanks for reading. 

    Keep your mind on heavenly things.

    AI: Exploring The Intersection Of Technology and The Bible https://pathway365.com/ai-exploring-the-intersection-of-technology-and-the-bible/ Sun, 21 Apr 2024 22:16:47 +0000 https://pathway365.com/?p=10066 The current state of AI and the Bible is beginning to separate.

    The Intersection of AI and Scripture: Reflecting on Past Experiments

    The current state of AI and the Bible is beginning to separate. Not long ago, I used an AI model to create several different scripture lists based on topic. I did these to understand what we could expect from AI. After all, why not probe it with the most valuable source on earth? I’m talking about the Bible.
    It’s important to note that AI did not create Bible topics on Pathway365. Every Bible verse for the topics on our ‘There’s A Scripture For That ‘page was carefully hand-selected. This human touch ensures the integrity and relevance of the verses to the topics.
    That said, Some of the lists it (AI) created with the topic I gave it were on par with what one would expect. There were a few minor mistakes, but nothing major. I also took it a step further and asked AI biblical questions. It would answer me with scripture based on my question. That part of it was terrific.

    A Shift in AI’s Understanding: A Red Flag

    As I mentioned, I did this a few years ago. Fast-forward to 2024, and that same AI model is supposed to be far more advanced now—at least, that’s what its creators have dubbed it. But when I ask about scripture, it says it does not recognize what I’m asking and proceeds to tell me it cannot continue with such topics but would be happy to help me with something else.
    This should raise a red flag for all of us, as it hints at a future where AI may no longer recognize or acknowledge the Bible. Imagine a world where the Bible, the cornerstone of our faith, is no longer understood by the very technology we’ve created. This is a potential consequence we must consider.
    I’m not trying to instill fear in anyone, but now isn’t a better time to get your hands on a hard copy of the Bible. With AI in control, it’s very possible that one day, you will not be able to find a copy of the Bible online. Scripture tells us that people will turn away from the truth (The Bible).

    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. – 2 Timothy 4:3-4 – KJV

    Implications for the Future: An Urgent Call to Action

    For instance, if the world is moving away from The Word of God, then you would tend to believe that the world would spend less time searching for Bible verses online and AI is building the future of the internet based on users’ search history/digital footprint. Then what would AI do with the Bible?
    The fact that it no longer recognizes the Bible should be an eye-opener for everyone. As I wrote this article, a story came out about AI models that can teach other AI models without human input. At the same time, that seems impressive. Once again, I ask what AI would do with the Bible, especially without human input.

    With all that being said, I’m not against AI at all. I know that God will allow AI to continue as long as he allows it to. God is in control!

    Synonyms for Day: time, age, era, hour, period, years, days, aeonUK, eonUS, epoch, generation, term, cycle, span, point in time, and time frame

    Every day comes at you like Goliath, but remember, this is the day the Lord has made.Be glad and rejoice in it. It’s up to you to be happy, sad, angry, negative, or positive. Anyone who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior has the power over their day. When you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you wake up victorious daily.

    People and things will come at you daily, trying to convince you otherwise.

    Don’t believe the lie! Jesus is the son of God who was born into the flesh, died on the cross, and was raised from the dead to live on the third day if you believe that you have already won.

    Remember when JESUS yelled out? It’s finished (John 19:30) while dying on the cross. He could have never yelled it’s finished if everything wasnt completed. That means every day is complete; there’s nothing in your life that God didn’t foresee and gave you victory over.That doesn’t mean things won’t come at you. Death, fear, lies, manipulation, and all evil works will come, but they are defeated.

    The fear of death has come to me countless times, and each time, it was met with my faith in God.

    My faith in God? If I continue living in this world, that is his will for me. If I were to pass from this world, my faith in God is that it’s my time. I know God will look after my family and supply their every need. You see, when the fear of death comes, it brings questions to your mind.

    If you die, who will look after your family?

    Who will provide for them?

    Why isn’t God helping you?

    Many pointless questions attempt to scare you and make you doubt your faith. When people see death as the end instead of a transition to the next life, they may be swayed from standing firm in their beliefs.

    Matthew 10:28 – KJV
    And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

    God didn’t place fear in you.

    Who did? Stop listening to the whispers of the enemy.
    God created you fearless and bold as a lion. No weapon shall prosper. You’re meant to conquer, not give in. Your faith in God for everything is vital to each battle that comes your way, from the time your eyes pop open in the morning until they close again in the evening.

    This Day Belongs To You 16

    Christians must remember that we are engaged in a spiritual battle, not a physical one. The weapons used against us are not physical. We must stand firm in our faith.

    Faith brought the walls of Jericho down. Your faith shapes your day.

    This Day Belongs To You 17

    In many battles, I’ve asked God for the strength to get through them until the Holy Spirit said to stop asking God for the strength you need to get through the day and thank Him for it instead. God has given you the power you need to get through anything. If you ask him for it, you are uncertain if you have it.

    God’s power is limitless. Is your belief?

    If all of your belief is God’s power, then your faith is infinite.

    If God has brought you this far, he’ll carry you the rest of the way.

    Today is your day! You’re Blessed and in “The High Favor” of The Lord Jesus Christ! You didn’t come this far to be defeated; keep your head up and look where your help comes from. Your Helper created the heavens and the earth. Nothing is impossible.

    Did God not part the sea for his children when they needed him to?

    He even ensured they had dry ground to walk on when he parted it. Whatever challenges you may face, He is faithful in guiding you through them and will take care of every detail along the way.

    Remember, Each day may come at you like Goliath, but at the end of the day, Goliath’s head lay severed from his body.

    God said you’re untouchable!

    No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

    Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)

    Thanks for reading.

    The Power of God is with you; don’t give up!

    Synonyms for Fearfully: exceedingly, exceptionally, extraordinarily, extremely, incredibly, remarkably, and uncommonly

    There is nothing that you need to do, and there is nothing that you need to add to yourself.

    You are made up of the perfect ingredients. GOD formed you out of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The Holy Spirit shapes you daily, bringing together GOD’S excellent ingredients to maximize their full potential in GOD’S beautiful masterpiece.

    Remember that you’re a sinner who has become a Christian and not a Christian who has become a sinner. Everything thing about you is being made perfect in HIS time. There is no mountain too high that you cannot climb. Everything about you is beautiful. You are the Apple of GOD’S eye. You are a joy to others around you and a voice of reason for many.

    Peace follows you and never leaves you.

    However, the enemy rushes in like a flood. You remain firmly planted and untouched. Victory is yours, and nothing can take it away from you. God calls you son/daughter; nothing can separate you from HIS LOVE. He has clothed you for every occasion and put HIS WORD in your heart.

    You will never worry or fear.

    Each day will be abundantly clear to you, and you will not second-guess what your day may bring. God has prepared you for all things. With all HIS STRENGTH AND MIGHT, he holds your hand. Although you may be hard-pressed on every side, you will not be crushed!

    You are perplexed but not in despair.

    You are persecuted but not abandoned. You are struck down but not destroyed. In a world full of hopelessness, you do not lose faith and do not give up. There is nothing that can keep you down. You are more than a conqueror.

    I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
