Follower of Yeshua. Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother. Some call me a teacher. Some say I'm a prayer warrior. A few accredit me with some writing skills. Me? I say I'm a work in slow progress, looking for perfection in eternity and until then having all the holy fun I know how.

Just a Little

Just a little reading this morning to start your day or bring it to a sweet close as the case may be for you.

Psalm 33 NKJV
4 For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

13 The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.  source

To Stand

Leave a comment

So far I have counted two live-streaming Media Entities (without the assistance of YouTube) that we may access and hear about the factual happenings affecting us all.
Via YouTube, there are several channels giving information contrary to CorruptStream Media . . .  for now.
As reliable as the information these entities provide to us, we must be aware.
Very aware.
Feeding on negative facts fattens the FLESH and fattening the flesh is NEVER spiritually good.
It has led to slaughter.

The Media is 24/7.
We could 24/7 feed ourselves the truth of the depths to which society has fallen but would it help us help each other STAND in this fallen world? 
You know the answer is a resounding no!

So. Do you have a plan in place to stand?
Do you want one?

Just a hint. 
If I spend more time taking in even factual event reporting than I do feeding upon Thus Says Yeshua, I am going to fall. I don’t want to fall or fail to stand for and in JESUS’ name.

What Do You Mean?

Unguarded and/or mindless conversation is a luxury we can no longer afford. Let me give you a picture.

The time has arrived wherein entering a casual conversation is a potential minefield.
Unless you are well acquainted and/or have prayed with the person with whom we are speaking, ascertaining from whence they have come to the conversation is imperative. See my illustration just there to the right. 

Yeshua told us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) We cannot do that if our tongues have no filter. You see, it is not the Government that is responsible, nor should it be, to govern our words – it is we. And for the Christian that Filter must be our Father’s Word, guided by Holy Spirit. 

Yeshua gave perfect counsel always – still does. One day He said this: 
Matthew 7:6  (AMP)
6 “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.  source

Let me give you my 21st Century KWT paraphrase reversed understanding of that verse. When you encounter a soul who has already deemed your beliefs old-fashioned, long out of date, and in this society, even hate-speech – don’t waste your words.
You are already a pig to them, keep talking and they will call the butcher to come for you. 

Does that me we cease to share with others our old-fashioned, soul-saving, keep you out of hell GOSPEL?
Absolutely not! 
But do wait on Holy Spirit to tell you — this one has potential! This one has an open mind and a hungry heart.
