The only time a pencil can leave a mark is when it’s held, placed on the paper, and pushed around. The pencil doesn’t want to write it’s simply able if the right circumstances come upon it. The pencil doesn’t know it can even write at all, but that’s specifically its only use. That is exactly […]
I’ve heard people say they despise AI Christian music. Their reason for the hatred is that it’s all AI generated and that there’s no soul within it. “Where is the Holy Spirit in this“? In part, I agree with them, but I have something they apparently didn’t think about when they said that. Where is […]
Nothing in this world has the proclivity of upper movement. Everything in this world moves down to the dust. A person has to fight tooth and nail to gain a quarter inch up, not to mention maintaining what altitude they just accomplished. Humans have to fight tooth and nail to maintain. Here is the truth […]
The very next moment: Less than 1000th of the time it takes to blink an eye is like a cliff to a bottomless pit. Because we’re so used to making our way to the edge of that cliff, we rarely think about our demise. Living our life on the edge, choosing to revel in the […]
What is the anguish of hell? The Lord Jesus described it as a fire.He described it as a worm that never dies.And in Matthew chapter 8, verse 12 we have this: 12 “But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” I […]
We have two great Pyrenees dogs. They are absolutely beautiful. They love without question but put a piece of food, one piece, down by the two of them and the two sisters will growl and fight over the piece of food. One word from me and that bitterness stops. Why can’t the people of Christ […]
Put a blob of paint on a white piece of paper. Put a night crawler into the blob of paint. Watch what the worm does as it moves around, the marks it makes. That’s a person’s activity on this earth. If by chance it happens to resemble anything intelligent, it’s only a matter of chance. […]
There are millions who would tell you they’re not concerned about the judgment to come. I have met quite a few who say “I will take my chances“. Such souls are absolutely oblivious to their own sinful nature somehow thinking 50% is good enough. Here: if you want to really see what your percentage of […]
What’s it cost to be a nice guy.? Especially if you have things extra you can give. What’s it cost to be a holy guy in Christ? Regardless, the things you used to own.
What is sinner gonna ever say to sinners that what he firmly believes in Christ might be imparted to their souls? Nothing. How is a man gonna change the ratio between the utterly depraved and helpless worthlessness of man and those who have been made to understand the grace of God? He’s not. These words […]
AMEN!

The reality of God’s message is falling upon me like a blanket of raging fire. It is what I have desired. Yet, the horror overwhelms me.

2 Cor. 4:7But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
God bless and keep you~

I have often said, “Iron sharpens iron.” It is good to remember those words of encouragement you posted. We are NEVER alone. And He who suffered alone will never allow that to happen to His people! We serve the Living God with all possible courage in the face of alll possible horrors. Fear does not belong to our God.
Amen.
He has blessed me and has promised to keep, not only me, but all who speak the truth with the power of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to all who allow their heart, minds, souls, and lips to belong to He who does not lie. Yet woe to those who seal up their own bodies with the desires of the flesh. What belongs to God will return to God, regardless how they have chosen to live their lives.

Iron truly does sharpen iron, indeed! Wisdom of God from one to another! I shared those verses above with you because the Holy Spirit had laid them upon my heart last night, which is going to be my bible verse photo today. He also gave them to me again while reading your post. Yes brother, His promises are true, He will keep us and we must never lose sight of His holy ways. We serve a Holy God and we His people are being perfected into the likeness of our Lord. Something else He was laying upon my heart along with the verses was, Rejected by many, but not crushed. Yet we are being crushed, like a grape, the more crushing of our flesh, the more the sweet smell of Jesus flows forth from within! Praise God,OH! Praise GOD!!! Be encouraged in the Lord! David as we read in the Psalms many times, we read he encouraged himself in the Lord. I have learned that for my own walking with my Precious Lord:)
