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.

The post Insanity appeared first on PATHWAY365 .

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.

The post “Sin and Redemption: Navigating Life’s Journey with Faith and Grace” appeared first on PATHWAY365 .

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.

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.

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!

Psalms 43:1-5 – KJV – A prayer in times of trouble

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 2. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 3. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 4. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 5. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
