Hi Peeps,

Today’s Quote

“Why waste time arguing with fools? If the message is falling on deaf ears clearly it’s not intended for them.”~TB

Burnout

This world is full of fools who are willing to believe stupid things due to their blatant disobedience. They seek any justification to stay in their stupor and will look for supporters high and low. Friends, let the wicked have this world, they’ve made their choice. When you fight with the willfully deaf, you are engaging in a battle that isn’t meant to be won. Instead, you’ve wasted your resources and energy on a futile effort. Focus your efforts on yourself and your service for God. He will instruct your steps if you allow Him to. Don’t let the evil one deceive you by distracting you with dumb people. It’s a trap, keep your eyes peeled and sidestep the noise.

Focus

It’s important to understand that we aren’t here to change hearts and minds. That’s God’s job. We are here to live and speak the Truth. Though we may be part of that plan, our job is the mirror the Truth to the best of our abilities and let God handle the God stuff. He knows how to handle that far better than humans, so let’s just stick to our holy occupations. When you focus your efforts and habits, you will see that your honest, Biblical deeds yield more fruit than arguing with an idiot who is souled out for the devil. Do not engage with them. If you practice kindness and humility, their own deeds will heap coals on their heads, without you having to do a thing.

Today’s Question

Are you wasting your time on stupid stuff or are you focusing on your personal holy employment?

Enjoy the reading

Psalm 91

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 
2 This I declare about the LORD : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. 
3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 
4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 
8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. 
9 If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 
10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. 
11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. 
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! 
14 The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 
15When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. 
16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”

Hi Peeps,

Today’s Quote

“The mirror of truth from God is what you face each day that you wash and put faith fresh clothes on; however, many will never pray, wash and dress up the real love of God, that is in the heart, dying to come out of the closet.” ~ Jon Barnes

Reflect

Look at yourself each day and all that you do so that you compare your actions of faith to God’s standards and expectations. Your honest work of faith reflects the results you will receive, believe, and share with everyone. You can’t share what you don’t have and there is no logic or love to evil.

Repair

How can you repair yourself with a broken, non existing mirror? For many, you don’t even have the mirror and the devil has you fooled, looking at a fake picture of yourself painted on a wall to look like a mirror of success. Ask God to repair you mess and teach you how to walk with God, channel your talent, and help others.

Wake

Wake up, look up into God’s Mirror and see your true image of yourself from your Father, who loves you. Imagine the good things you can accomplish with His lifestyle, plans, and purpose working in your life. Now thank God for your wake up call and mirror replacement kit of Truth! Otherwise you are still dreaming and living the devil’s fantasy of hell’s followers.
Today’s Question
Can you see clearly now that the fake painted picture of you is gone and can you see who you really are with natural light and beauty, no make up?

Revelation 8

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer

8 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

The Trumpets

6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
 
Love,
Jonathan
