Psalm 25
Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance
Of David.

1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
6 Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!
8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

Acts 10:28-34

28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. 34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Romans 8:29–9:8

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did pedestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth. 34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Tempted to cheat on your spouse? Pondering an affair? Or, perhaps you are already having an affair. Rest assured, difficult times and days are surely ahead, unless you repent. The sooner the better. The earlier, the better. If you are in the pondering stage of infidelity, please take this video to heart. Take your eyes off of others, (both the opposite sex, and those you 'assume' are doing just fine despite being unfaithful) and turn to God as you are. Turn back to the wife or husband you are married to. Do everything that is within you, and on your side of the relationship, to make your marriage work. Fight for it, with everything that you possess. Turn fully to Jesus and confess your sin to Him. If you travel down this extremely painful road of adultery, when it is all said and done, you will groan at the last, and wish sincerely you would have listened to your own conscience, as well as any and all your teachers.

In very short, get this area of life correct (sex life/marriage etc etc etc) and you will be blessed all over. Get this area wrong, be assured, reality pledges it, you are going to hurt all over.

May this reading bless you above measure!

Have you ever looked back over your life and wondered where was God?

There’s no serious doubt that the Bible teaches the husband’s headship over his wife. In fact many people who deny it will openly admit that they do not accept the authority of scripture. However, since many others do claim scriptural reasons for ignoring the husband’s authority, I put together this essay to show their major claims to be false. I hope you are blessed by this piece, as well as by a beautiful marriage modeled on Messiah and His Bride.

You deal with them all the time, and so does God. You have your favorites and so does God. You have ones you don't want to deal with and so does God. Tests; we deal with them and God does too

Jesus will come back.

A video that has passages of the Bible about Jesus.

I've been in the business of people watching. Lately, as I have scurried about, taking care of health problems, going to hospitals, doctors, and other places in between, I have taken note of people's expressions and their comments to me. I'm struck that almost everyone I ran into agreed on one thing; they would just like to have a little more peace in their lives.

We all seek a place of peace within ourselves, as we go about our lives, struggling with life's demands. But, confusion and fatigue appeared to rule in the lives of most people I met, and they had very little hope of finding peace. What rules our hearts determines whether we have peace. The war that rages there causes us to be unsettled, wondering where to find peace amidst the warring of our souls. How do we find peace in the middle of the war going on there?

Colossians 3:15-16 says, "And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts."

People long for their souls to be at rest. Having peace in one's heart is a wonderful gift from God that all Christians have an opportunity to enjoy. The same God who had the power to save us, also has the power to give us rest if only we would, "let the peace of God rule in our hearts.” Why

If you died today, would you go to heaven? https://www.valueoftruth.org/saved.html

People will always oppose the truth. How can you deal with it?

If you died today, will you go to heaven?

Romans 8:12-19

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Rev CH 13 V 16 & 17, 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
