Good Afternoon everyone,
I just wanted to share what The Lord has been laying on my heart lately. He's speaking to me louder than ever before through these Bible Verses: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." These verses are found in Philippians 4: 6-7.
I didn't choose these Bible Verses, it was God who put them on my heart and brought them to my attention. Anyway, I've been feeling quite stressed out and anxious lately because of all that's currently going on in my life. It seems like it's just too much to handle at times, especially right now. I don't even know what to pray about anymore, there's a lot and where do I even start? I feel like I'm drowning in my thoughts and there's no way out. I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm just not really seeing the reasons for why this is happening to all of us. "Jesus, if you can hear us, we need you and more answers, you are the great physician and only you can heal the sick and raise the dead in us. Please help! Thank you, lord, I love you amen." "Lord, please take these burdens off of our shoulders, we can't handle this anymore, I'm letting go and letting you take control, I give up, I can't do this anymore, enough already, thank you, Lord, I love you, amen."
The Lord lead me to share this with all of you, and I hope you enjoy these blog updates as much as I do. So, I guess my thoughts and reflections on the above verses will be this: I'm thinking that God is trying to tell us to not be anxious and let him take care of these current situations. There is a reason for all of this, but I just don't know what it is yet. None of us know the reason for this yet. What can we honestly do here? All we can really do is have faith and keep praying about these tumultuous occurrences in our otherwise peaceful lives. All we really want is answers and a cure, there's just nothing else we can do at this point. It's out of our hands, it's in God's hands now. Thank you and God Bless! Have a good rest of the day.

"Has The Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through you also?" ~Numbers 12:2. Here are my thoughts and reflections on the above Bible Verse: The Lord always speaks to us through His Word, or at Church, basically anywhere there's peace and quiet. However, we don't always want to listen to what He has to say, and sometimes we don't even make "time" for The Lord, so to speak. But the truth is that no matter how busy you might be, you should always find some time to spend in The Lord, and in His own Word. If we all made time to spend with The Lord, think of how much better this world could be. I'm not perfect, I'm far from it. I had to learn the hard way, on how to
clean up my mess of a life. I was probably one of the absolute worst sinners of all, but by the grace of God, my life was saved, and I'm trying to turn into a better person because of God himself.
Believe me, this is not an easy task by any means, but it will really be worth all of the trials and tribulations at the end of your life: when your sitting at the judgement seat of God, we're all going to face the harsh judgement day of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There's absolutely no possible way to avoid any of it, so don't even try to get out of it, because it's not going to happen, especially because The Lord will not allow it, got it? I hope so.
Let's move on to the second Bible Verse here: "They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "you take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and The Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord." ~Numbers 16:3. There's absolute truth in the Numbers 16:3 passage because as Christians we often get persecuted in foreign countries for what our beliefs are. It's pretty stupid if you ask me, there's only one God and only one way to be saved, and that's through the one and only Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. "You come to the father only through me." Read the Bible, that is Jesus speaking to us through His Word. If you like it, great, and if not, then go away, we don't need you in our life anyway. Never ever put yourselves above God, you must always put God first in your life, not the other way around. Amen?!? I think so. God is so much stronger than all of us put together. He's not weak at all. "Don't judge a person by what they look like on the outside, you should take the time and get to know this particular person." You must love others as God has first loved us. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It is what's on the inside that counts,not on the outside, got it! Now go and try it. Heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach the Gospel of our Lord. He wrote the Bible for a reason and that is why. Amen?!? I say, Amen! Thank you and God Bless!
