For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.30.5.KJV

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 1 Peter 3:13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1pe.3.13.KJV

Because we believe in God and follow His Son Jesus, nothing can harm us because we are followers of that which is good.

God is with us to protect us from harm and danger. He can see the things that we cannot see and move them out of the way to protect us.

It would be good if we could actually see Him as the disciples did, and talk with Him as they did, but we have to know that even though we cannot see Him with our eyes, we can see some of the things that He does for us through faith. We see the things come to pass that we have and have not prayed for. He gives us blessings that we sometimes do not even ask for, such as waking us up the next day. Giving us our health and strength, our senses. God only wants to give us good things, not things to harm us.

Life isn’t perfect, but we serve a God who is. He will always be with us. Even when we don’t feel His presence, He us with us. What would we do if He were not with us in our life?

If you have not talked with Jesus today, or if you do not have a relationship with Him, go to Him today in prayer and invite Him to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior. Repent of your evil, wicked, and selfish worldly ways, believe that He is the Son of God and that God raised His Son on the third day just as He said, and live your life for Him until He returns, or until He calls you (us) home. You are now apart of God’s family. Hello sisters and brothers in Christ! Have a beautiful Sunday. God bless you all in the name of Jesus our soon coming King.©2022

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.7.KJV

The LORD shows us mercy everyday. He has been since we came into this world. It is good to know that His mercies are new every morning. We serve a merciful God, and I am so glad we do, because without it what would we do? We can show others mercy because of Jesus. It is all because of Jesus. He is the reason we want to be better people. We want to live how we should live. We want to love our enemies, and do what He would have us to do to bring God glory, honor, and praise. Show someone mercy today, and it will be shown right back to you.

If you have not spoken with Jesus today, speak to Him in prayer. He is ready to listen to all you have to say. Pour out your heart to Him and let Him give you joy beyond compare. Just know that He loves us all. Stay safe, and God bless.©2022

The birth of Jesus is very important. We must never forget what kind of world it was then when Jesus was born, and how His very life was in danger because of Herod. We cannot forget how God protected His Son from danger, and we cannot forget how He protects us from the danger that’s around us everyday. Stay safe, and God bless.©2022

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.10.13.KJV

I know I have been distant and have drifted far away.

I know I have been distant with not a lot of words to say.

I know I have been distant and it is not because of you.

I know I have been distant because of what my heart has been going through.

So, when you see this written word please understand and know that I am screaming inside and only God knows.

Therefore, until I converse again, this is not the end. I am just giving my heart time to mend again.©2022

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.19.14.KJV

For thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:13‭-‬14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.139.13-14.KJV

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2ti.1.7.KJV

Good morning everybody! I pray that you all are doing well on today. I want to talk about the Scripture Verse above: 2 Timothy 1:7. The question is this: What Do We Have To Fear? There is power in the name of Jesus! All we have to do is speak His name and the enemy will flee. We do not have to walk around being filled with fear, because we were not given the spirit of fear. Look at what we do have. But of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. We can walk in faith, and believe in faith, and know in faith that God has given us these things that we do not have to be in fear about anything. He has covered us with His protection under the shadow of the Almighty. We are covered by the Holy Ghost. The love of God is perfect, so it casts out all fear. We have the love of God living in our heart, so fear cannot live there. Fear has no place where there is love and faith.

If there is something that’s causing you to be afraid today, or any other day, read this verse and give it all to God. He will, and already has given you peace, and replaced that fear with faith and love. ©2022

Your past is behind you. You are a new creation.

Mrs. Shaunelius L. Sterns

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.5.17.KJV

Good morning everyone! Today is a beautiful day that we have never seen before, so thank God for another day to be on this side of heaven. Let us not forget all of the wonderful things that the Lord has done for us.

I want to talk about the Scripture Verse 2 Corinthians 5:17. Here in this Scripture, Paul is telling us that when we give our life to Christ, we become new; a new creature, which is a new creation in Him. We do not live like we once did. We do not continue to do the things that we once did before we came to Christ. We are no longer the person we once were; we are a new creation. We start to do the things that Jesus teaches us through the Word of God. It is not easy to do a complete 360° turn, but Jesus is always there to help us along the way. We have been reborn again, we are like new born babies learning how to do things that we have never done before, such as reading the Bible everyday. I can admit that when I first got Baptized, I had not read the Bible in years, but I had always known Jesus. I had a hard time staying awake when I would try to read. I know I have spoken about this before, but when I read this Scripture Verse, it takes me back to when I first got Baptized.

We all have to start somewhere in life to get to know Jesus. Let’s start here today. Just remember, it is not where you are coming from, but where you are going. All things are made new when you come to Christ. He will not turn anyone away. He wants to make you new all over again, flaws and all. We all have a past, present, and a future. We all have had struggles in life, but during all of those struggles we have all faced, Jesus has been there with us through them all.

Let Him change your life for the better. Let Him put His love into your heart. Let Him give you a new life in Him, but the only way that is going to happen is through repentance. You must repent, which means to turn from your sinful and wicked ways, and apologize to God. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe that on the third day, God, His Father raised His Only Son from the dead, and ask Him to come into your heart and be your personal Lord and Savior. That is all there is to it. Jesus will forever live in your heart. When you do that, you have been made new and you are now apart of God’s family forever. Praise God!

Do not worry about your past any longer. You are no longer who you were then. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. If you have not talked to Him today, do so. He is waiting to hear from you. Jesus loves us all. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will be with us even until the end of the age. World without end, Amen, Amen. Have a blessed and wonderful day.©2022

Explanation of Scripture: 2 Corinthians Chapter 5: Various Verses

5:1-An house not made with hands. This is the spiritual body that believers receive at the resurrection, in contrast to the earthly house (the natural body) , which is like a tent in the sense that is just a temporary abiding place (see 1 Corinthians 15:40, 42-44).

5:3- We shall not be found naked. Nakedness is the result of sin. Unbelievers are spiritually naked and can never be clothed with the glorified body that Christians will enjoy.

5:9- Labour. Are ambitious- make it a point of honor.

5:9- Accepted of Him- Well pleasing to God.

5:10-We must all appear before the judgement seat.- This must not be confused with the Great White Throne Judgement before which unbelievers will appear. All Christians will appear before the Judgement seat of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 3:12).

5:14-If one died for all, then were all dead.- All believers are regarded by God as having died with Christ upon the cross (Romans 6:6). The old self- life must therefore be considered dead by faith (Romans 6:11).

5:16- Know we him no more.- We have entered a new relationship with Christ through the Spirit, so the old fleshy relationship (or lack of relationship) is over.

5:17-Creature. – Creation.

5:18- The ministry of reconciliation.- All Christians should share this ministry, that is, the privilege of telling sinners that they may be “reconciled to God” (verse 20).

5:19- The world. – Mankind.

5:20- Ambassadors.- Speaking the Word of and working as led by Christ our King.

5:20- Reconciled.- This means to be thoroughly changed. It speaks of the sinner becoming a new creature through Christ before he can meet with God.

I hope these Scriptures will inspire you to continue reading through 2 Corinthians to see all that God has to say to us through the Apostle Paul.

Until we meet again, be blessed in the Lord Jesus, our King. ©2022

The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. Psalm 24:1 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.24.1.KJV

We all belong to the Creator of the universe. Everything that was created was created by Him.

Mrs. Shaunelius L. Sterns

Good morning everyone! I pray everyone is safe and well. We all belong to God. He created all life on this earth. He spoke everything into existence. When reading this verse, we are reminded of who we belong to. We are reminded of what belongs to God.

He holds it all in His hands.

Everything is going to be alright. We must hold on to our faith in God. We cannot give up on our God because He will never give up on us. Even in these dark times Jesus is shining light for the whole world to see, but it can only be seen through the eyes of faith. God bless. Jesus loves us all, stay safe.©2022

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/amo.5.24.KJV

Today is a beautiful day! God is Great! Let His love shine in you today, and every day. I pray everyone is doing alright.

I chose this picture because it makes since according to the Scripture Verse. The red leaves makes the reflection of the water look red. The redness reminds me of the blood that Jesus shed for us. Doesn’t it make you think about that? To me, the waterfall represents the water which flowed from His side when He was pierced with the spear; blood and water flowed from His side. What does this remind you of concerning Jesus? God bless you all. Have a blessed day.©2022

with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Ephesians 4:2 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/eph.4.2.KJV

I know all to well about long suffering, and I know I am not the only one. During that long suffering, we have to learn to forebear one another with all lowliness, meekness, and love. That can be hard to do if the person, or people are hard to get along with. We have to turn the other cheek and keep moving forward. God bless. Have a wonderful day.©2022

I am the type of person who judges no one in any shape, form, fashion, or manner. I don’t judge anyone even if they make a mistake, why? Because we are all human beings who are not by any means perfect. I cannot stand judgemental people who think they are better than others at whatever it is. I don’t need any backlash because of what I say about anything. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say whenever I say it. So what if a person has a typo here and there, that gives no one the right to judge the other person. It does not matter how long someone has been writing, they will make a mistake, and as of God being clear about things, He still used people who were not perfect to follow Him and lead His people just as He does today, so don’t judge others. The same way you judge someone, God is going to judge you with the same measure of judgement that you judged someone else with. Watch what you let come out of your mouth about people and the mistakes they make, because there is not one person on the face of this earth that is perfect in anything. Jesus is the only perfect person who walked the face of this earth. It will take people a lifetime of practice to do just that one thing. This is what is wrong with the world today; Everybody judging others when we ought to be praying for one another, and for God to deliver this world from the sins that is plaguing this world. Stop being petty about nonsense things. Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around someone elses. Look at the plank in your own eye and remove it before you try to remove someone elses. Clean your own house, and wash your own garments before you go judging others mistakes. The truth is the truth and I will not apologize for it!©2022

This is my second episode of the year which is season two of Food for the Soul. Click on the link above to be directed to Anchor to listen to the message. May God bless you. I hope you are inspired by it, and uplifted.

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:23‭-‬24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.9.23-24.KJV

Following Jesus is no joke. We have to be serious about it. It is nothing to be taken lightly. Everyday Jesus faced ridicule because of what He was teaching, the miracles He performed, and people wanted to kill Him. He did not let any of that stop Him from doing the will of the Father. He was faithful until the end. Are we that strong to face the things that Jesus faced? Are we strong enough to deny ourselves daily and follow after Jesus no matter the cost? These are things we should and need to think about. Following Jesus is not easy, but when we decide to live for Him, those are some of the things we will encounter as Christians. Jesus had faith and He is God’s Son. Can we have that same kind of faith, that mustard seed faith to move mountains? Everyday we will face something and we will need faith to bring us through it. Jesus is a prime example of faith. He is who we can draw faith from. When we look at all of the things He went through for us; Even the death on a cross, a tree , mind you, He never complained about it. Even when He was being beaten, He never complained or questioned God as to why this sacrifice had to be the way it was. Jesus knew what He was going to face when it was all said and done, but He also knew what the complete outcome was going to be concerning Him being raised on the third day.

If we knew what was going to happen everyday of our lives, would we be able to handle it as Jesus did? Would we be able to handle knowing when we were leaving this earth as Jesus did? The answers to those questions are No!, and No! We would lose our mind. We would not be able to handle it at all. That is why it is not meant for us to know. Do you know how much God loves you? Do you know Him? Do you know that He sent His only Son into this world to take all of our sins upon Himself and give up His life for us so we can live free from sin? We were bought at a price when Jesus shed His blood for us, and that is something we will never be able to repay for as long as we live. Do not let time pass you by. Go to God in prayer and repent of your sinful ways and believe on the Lord Jesus and ask Him to come into your heart and be your personal Lord and Savior. It will be the best decision you will ever make in your life for your eternal life. God does not want any of His children to perish in a lake of fire in a devils hell. Why? Because it was not created for human beings, but I know there will be some there who chose not to follow Jesus and believe in God. Salvation is free. Where do you want to spend eternity? Do you want to spend it in heaven with Jesus, or in hell with the devil? The choice is yours, because as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Don’t take this the wrong way. I am sharing the truth in love because I care about your soul. God bless you all. Stay safe.©2022

Enjoy this video. It lifted me up. We want to be Holy, but we have to ask God how to be Holy. We are made holy when we are in His presence. His Holiness fills us, fills our heart. God wants us to be holy because He is Holy. We must ask God to change our hearts to be filled with His Holy Spirit that others may see Him in us. All praise be to God the Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come. World without end Amen.©2022

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.6.23.KJV

As we live from day to day, we do not know what may or may not happen, so we have to protect ourselves from sin. We should pay close attention to what God is telling us through His Word. His words are living and breathing. Jesus is the living word.

Look at the Scripture above and read it out loud so you can hear the words being spoken into your ears. Faith comes by hearing. When you speak God’s Word it penetrates into your heart and soul. It is better to read it aloud so your faith can be strengthened by it. It gives us life to our soul to stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Hold on to God and never let go of his hand. He lives in our heart. He loves us so much. He gives us one day at a time to make things right with Him before Jesus returns. He does not want any of His children going to a devils hell. Go to Him in prayer and let His Spirit wash over you and cleanse you from the inside out. Ask and invite Him to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior today while the blood is still running warm in your veins. Have a wonderful, blessed, and joy filled day! Stay safe. Amen.©2022
