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.

The post A Prayer For Your Family appeared first on PATHWAY365 .

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.

Government Actions Against Christianity

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.

The Impact of Bill C-367

In short, the bill would remove religious exemptions under the ‘hate speech’ section of the Criminal Code would be removed which could allow Christians to be placed under arrest for speaking the truth. 

The Importance of Mutual Support Among Christians

As Christians, we need to be there for each other and support one another no matter what. We need to help and support our brothers and sisters at our church, in our neighborhood, and on social media. It’s not a popularity contest. It’s about coming together as the body of Christ.

The Body of Christ: A Unified Analogy

“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 me or condemn me. My body functions in a 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 pretty simple to see a body functioning as one when you look at it. It is as simple as seeing the body of Christ functioning as one. There is an oneness about it! Just because the legs do the walking, the hands are not trying to trip them; the mouth is not cursing them. The mind isn’t trying to convince them they would be better off cutting the legs off, and they do not see them as useless..

The Holy Spirit’s Role in Church Harmony

The body of Christ works the same way. Christians are the body of Christ, and THE HOLY SPIRIT is a director, which is why the church should directly reflect the Holy Spirit.

Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such there is no law. 24. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. – Galatians 5:22-26 – NKJV

The Power of Unity in Action

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

Thanks for Reading, and God Bless you.

The post Striving for Christian Unity: Overcoming Division and Standing Together 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.

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.

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.
-Psalms 139:14 – KJV

The post You Are Fearfully Made appeared first on PATHWAY365 .

When it comes to God and Satan, there is no mixing of the two. Remember Jesus’ teaching on the unclean Spirit.

Matthew 12:43-45 – KJV (The Return Of The Unclean Spirit)

43. When the unclean Spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 

45. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. 

So, after reading the above scripture, I can see no mixture. The Holy Spirit showed up and kicked the evil Spirit out of the house (referring to the person); there was no stick around being my guest for a while. The Holy Spirit sent the evil Spirit packing right away. The problem is verse 44, which says the evil Spirit goes to the house (the person) from which it came. He finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Keyword Empty! Where’s the Holy Spirit?

Where’s the word of God? Where’s prayer, and where is fasting?

Jesus Christ himself, when tempted by the devil, used The Word of God, and he prayed and fasted. When people receive forgiveness through Jesus and are baptized in The Holy Spirit, they are a new Creation but must stay proactive. There has to be a time set aside for prayer, fasting, reading the Bible, and meditating on God’s Word, which helps renew the mind and defeat the devil and his trickery. 

Ephesians 6:11 – KJV

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

When you read the above scripture, the word (whiles) is a word that stands out. Let’s take a closer look at that word. Let’s start with some synonyms, and then let’s read the definition.

Those synonyms describe the devil perfectly. 

Definition of Wile

 (Entry 1 of 2)

1: a trick or stratagem intended to ensnare or deceive; also: a beguiling or playful trick

2: skill in outwitting: TRICKERY, GUILE

Reading the definition and synonyms of the word (Wile) shows the devil for who he is and why we must suit up daily. (Put on the armor of God)

Ephesians 6:10-17 – KJV

10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

The Word of God shields us in everything we do. Jesus Christ has given us victory in all things. The Holy Spirit is our Guide, and with Him (The Holy Spirit) leading the way, there is no failure.

1 Peter 2:9-10 – KJV

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

God Bless!

Synonyms for Forgiveness: absolution, pardon, amnesty, exoneration, mercy, pardoning, acquittal, remission, and clearing,

Whether you’re just getting to know Christ or well seasoned with him, you’re either coming to an understanding or already knowing that forgiveness lies in the Center of Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:9 – KJV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When I first came to know Christ, I couldn’t help but realize his divine forgiveness, and it wasn’t like anything I had ever experienced in my life. It was gentle, warm, and joyful, and even though I try to describe it, I can never put it altogether into words. It was an immeasurable power not of this world and a gift delivered within my soul. I realized it wasn’t just meant for me alone but also intended for others.

Matthew 6:14 – KJV
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

What brought me to this realization was my self-reflection. I came to Christ not even sure if he truly existed or not? I discovered he was the most realistic person that I had ever met. I realize people are going to question that statement.

John 14:23 – KJV
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

“The most realistic person” You’d ever met?

There was no doubt that He was God, and all things good flowed from Him like an endless river, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Meeting him was like being drawn into a vortex of another dimension, a place full of life, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I knew nothing wrong/evil could enter this place. It changed me completely. I’m talking about how I felt about myself and what I had done throughout my life, something I knew I shouldn’t be doing, but I did them anyway. The guilt that I carried for years vanished immediately in his presence. I asked Him to forgive me, and I knew He forgave me.

Psalms 32:5 – KJV
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

1 John 2:12 – KJV
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

The forgiveness of God repairs the heart, mind, and soul from any emotional damage you have suffered. I knew Jesus had forgiven me for anything I had ever done. That’s the power and beauty of his forgiveness. To be able to take such blame that I have held my entire life and vanish it within a blink of an eye.

Hebrews 10:15-17 – KJV
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

The post Forgiveness appeared first on PATHWAY365 .

There was a time when I couldn’t afford to buy a new pair of shoes. The ones I had were worn to the point that they had no soles. They were full of holes, almost like a block of swiss cheese. I remember one time I was laughed at over them by someone very close to me.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. My car constantly broke down, my house was falling apart, and the people that claimed to love me the most made fun of my shoes and said the nastiest things about me behind my back.

I bring this up because!

I want to know how to “walk in love” with people who don’t have the best intentions for me. They made fun of me; they saw me as some amusement for themselves. My hardships have been to their liking. They have ill will towards my family.

How can you walk in love with that?

For me? I knew I needed to understand what love was before walking in it. The way I understood what love was, was by looking at Jesus. He had people sell him out for money, beat him, and hang him on a cross to die. While people slowly murdered him. He said: Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.

Luke 23:33-34 (KJV)
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

I’m thinking to myself, they don’t know what they do?

What does Jesus mean? Of course, they know what they’re doing. Suppose I walk up to someone and bust them in the mouth. I knew what I was doing.

Then it hit me!

It’s not them; it’s what has Control over them.

Romans 6:12 – KJV
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Jesus was willing to suffer and die for what humankind had become. He moved past what others had done to him and said about him to save humanity. He freed us from sin, and we no longer live under the curse.

Galatians 3:13 – KJV
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

When Jesus was hanging on the cross dying, he said It’s Finished. He would have never said those words if he didn’t see our completion. Our completion is that He saw each of us with Him in eternity. Jesus didn’t see us for the people we once were. He saw us as the chosen generation. People who would repent, accept Him as our Lord and Savior, and walk as he walked. (Christ-like people)

John 19:28-30 – KJV
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

1 Peter 2:9 – KJV
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

The love Christ has for us is immeasurable and unconditional.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 – New King James Version (1982)
Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5. does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6. does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7. bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8. Love never fails. But whether [there are] prophecies, they will fail; whether [there are] tongues, they will cease; whether [there is] knowledge, it will vanish away.

Some people are not easy to get along with and will go out of their way to be mean to you. Some will only love you when you’re doing exactly what they want you to do. Their love comes with conditions. Christ is the only one that ever did anything for us out of pure love, and when we walk in that love, it can change the world around us for the better. His LOVE is that powerful!

It doesn’t mean you have to be a doormat for people.

Romans 12:18 – KJV
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

If you’re doing all you can to get along with someone, you have gone above and beyond? Above and beyond means: you’ve handled the situation as Christ would, but the other party involved has made it abundantly clear they don’t want the same thing. Then you may want to consider taking a step back from the situation. It doesn’t mean you’re not Christian (CHRIST LIKE) enough. It simply means that you’ve done as the scripture says. As much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. You cannot make up someone else’s mind for them. God will open the door in His perfect timing if it’s meant to be.

Remember you have a Helper. “The Holy Spirit,” and He will give you everything you need to face anything the world might throw at you.

1 John 2:27 – New King James Version (1982)
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

As the scripture says. Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 (KJV)

With The Holy Spirit as our guide It will certainly make it easier to walk in love.

Thanks for reading, and God Bless you.

Synonyms For Animals: beasts, creatures, fauna, wildlife, critters, brutes, varmints, beasties, and beings

Will there be animals in heaven? I have been asked that question numerous times by children and adults. The first scripture that comes to mind is this one.

Revelation 19:11 (KJV)

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

“I saw heaven open and behold a white horse.”

So the answer to the question. Will there be animals in heaven? Is “yes” confirmed by scripture, but while that may answer that question, there’s

The follow-up question. “What about my dog/cat/bird?” Will they be in heaven?

Before I get into that, I would like to point out another interesting fact about animals. When God flooded the earth, they were on the ark with Noah, so God saw something worth saving. I believe that we have a God that loves us so much that if we need our pets in heaven, they will be there. I believe heaven/new earth has everything we need.

Luke 3:6 – ESV. and “all flesh” shall see the salvation of God.'”

In fact, “I BELIEVE” is key to what we desire.

Mark 9:23 (ESV)

And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”

Psalms 37:4 (ESV)

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I believe in God for everything and the deepest desires in my heart; God knows them full well. I believe God’s children have many different (desires) passions. According to the Scriptures above, He (God) has promised to fill each of our desires. If you desire to see your pets again, I believe God is willing and ready for that to happen.

My personal experience with this topic is this. 

One day, while I remembered a beloved family dog that passed away years ago, our new family dog walked up to me. I thought about what they would have been like together. Then I immediately thought no, that would never work because they both have Very dominant personalities.

Then The Holy Spirit spoke up and said that wouldn’t be the case on the new earth. Remember, on the New Earth; they’ll live in perfect peace. I know The Holy Spirit is never wrong, and I’m confident my pets will be there. I believe in God for everything, no matter how foolish it may seem to someone else.

Isaiah 11:6-9 – ESV The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. 7. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. 9. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
