Ephesians 4:7

[ Spiritual Gifts ] But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

To each of us God gave us Grace according to that of Jesus’s death on the cross 

There is no measure to Christ’s love God’s given gift given to all who believe but to each believer God have us a gift of grace according to the measure of his love which has no measure through the death of Jesus on the cross we were given spiritual gifts for those who accept

Psalm 31:24 New King James Version (NKJV)

24 

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart,

All you who hope in the Lord.

otherwise Be strong in the heart all believers who hope in the lord

When we defeat our weaknesses by putting our strength in the heart, God makes us strong and believe in his work as all who believe it is them who will put their hope in the lord giving us grace and understandings

John 8:32

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The Truth Shall Make You Free

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Jesus said that those who believe his word and follows it we are truly his disciples

31To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

If we truly follow Jesus and believe of his word and gospel then we are his disciples and know his truth of the truth and that he is the truth and this will set us free

Jesus doesn’t want us to say we believe in him and his word for spite and fashion he wants us to say it because we mean it. He wants us to go out and disciple to others what we believe if we abide by his teachings and believe enough to teach and disciple to someone else then we are truly his disciples 

Knowing this truth will set us free

Song of Solomon 4:7

You are all fair, my love, And there is no spot in you

You are everything my love there is no fault found in you

Song of Solomon 3:4

Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

Hardly had I passed by, then I found the one my heart loves. I held him close and would not let him go,until I had brought him to my mother’s house and unto my mother who conceived me.

I found love in the darkest night

I found love perfect and beautiful to the sight

He walks with me alone like no other

He whispers all I mean to him within my ear

Good compliments for all days and nights

I found love like no other

He tells me I’m strong in the midst of me feeling weak

He tells me I’m beautiful in all when I feel that I’m ugly

He lifts me up when I only fall

I found love who completes my all

Holding him close not wanting to let go

I cherish the embrace forever now

I am his world he won’t leave me behind

He knows my every need even before I speak my mind

Starts each day with a smile and a comfort in my life

I found the one my heart loves I can not lie

All the blessing he’s given me I can not deny

His love is everything I could never be

The one I love has found me

I Found Love💕

Psalm 139 New King James Version (NKJV)

God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

139 

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

2 

You know my sitting down and my rising up;

You understand my thought afar off.

3 

You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,

And are acquainted with all my ways.

4 

For there is not a word on my tongue,

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

5 

You have [b]hedged me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

6 

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain it.

7 

Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 

If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.

9 

If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 

Even there Your hand shall lead me,

And Your right hand shall hold me.

11 

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,”

Even the night shall be light about me;

12 

Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,

But the night shines as the day;

The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13 

For You formed my inward parts;

You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 

I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.

15 

My [h]frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

And in Your book they all were written,

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.

17 

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

18 

If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;

When I awake, I am still with You.

19 

Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!

Depart from me, therefore, you [i]bloodthirsty men.

20 

For they speak against You wickedly;

[j]Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 

Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?

And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 

I hate them with [k]perfect hatred;

I count them my enemies.

23 

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

Try me, and know my anxieties;

24 

And see if there is any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.

This scripture is self explanatory in itself. God knows all we do before we do it he knows the all knowing of us. He’s known us since we were in our mother’s womb. 

Jesus states in Mathew 26: 21-23 

Matthew 26:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

that one would betray him as he knew that before it came to pass. And in Mathew 26:48&49 the betrayal came to pass as Judah presents Jesus with a kiss as a sign to the people 

Matthew 26:47-56 New King James Version (NKJV)

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane

47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will [a]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Jesus knows everything about us even before we know he is very observant to our needs but our choices are what decide if we respect and follow him. Think before you make a choice ask your self what would Jesus do? And would this be acceptable and pleasing in respect to God?

Numbers 6:24-26

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’

May the lord always honor and bless us giving us all his glory and grace. That he gives us all his glory and is pleased, that he be pleased and giving all his divine grace to us that he lifts us with all the support he has that he keep you in peace

The lord wants nothing but to always give us his all and his love, providing us with his blessings of glory and grace wanting us to trust our faith in him and make him proud. Blessing us in everything we do with his Devine grace to uplift us and always be present for us. He just wants us stress free and at peace. God is all loving and good and only wants the best out of us. Praise him and honor him so that you can get the fullness of his glory. Let your heart keep I’m in all you think and do. He loves you more than anything. Be the voice and light that tells others about his story and stories he has given you.

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Our Faith grows as we grow. We walk by faith and not by sight meaning that we cannot see God and we have to believe that he says who he is and believe in him. We may see miracles and have experiences with him but still cannot see him. This then helping us to grow and believe more as believers. Pay attention to your life for God will show you he is real and when you see you’ll be stronger than ever in your faith. Though we need to walk with him by faith and believing and not by what we see. Just a few weeks ago God prevented evil from happening what we saw we would have not believed had we not seen it by the grace of God. Where a drunk driver ran a read light as a family on foot was crossing the road however out of nowhere God sent another car to ram the drunk driver’s vehicle to prevent the family any harm. It looks so unreal yet yup it truly was real and god proved all who believed whom know about it that his grace is real and so is he. It’s little things to bigger things like this that help us see God in our faith. 

The Accident of Faith watch it here Someday God may do something spectacular just for you too.

John 1:18 New King James Version (NKJV)

18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten [a]Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

No one has ever seen God not even face to face. The only son who is close with the father himself who has announced himself God promises we will one day see him face to face but no one ever sees him in life.

You can find him in Christian love or by miracles he sends out but you won’t ever see him till the day where he will show his face in the end of times.

First you must build a relationship with him trust he is with you at all times and that he is guiding you in all you do. You may find things along the way that he is showing you he’s there or miraculously things may happen that you couldn’t see possible but in the end he will only show himself fully in the end of mankind when we stand before him in judgement 

Until then he asks us to come to him and trust him and build a loving relationship with him that he may lead and guide you walking with you in all you do. 

When you choose to give your life to him he will show you more of him but never his full self he will be with you in all you do but the choice is yours if you want to act according to his will and follow him as well he never tells you what to do he just guides you and leaves the choice of actions to you 

Will you stand with him before the tome of Judgement and give yourself automatic entry to heaven on the day of judgement

Jeremiah 25:5

They said, ‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.

For as humans we all fall short of the glory of God and live in sin in Jeremiah 25:5 God tells us to repent to live the in sincere remorse and regret in all wrongdoing and sin and dwell in the land given to you and your ancestors forevermore 

To repent we are to ask for forgiveness to God in all our wrongdoing or sin

Colossians 1:14
in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Psalm 39:1

[ Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness ] [ To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. ] I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”

How to pray and repent

Just a simple request of words for repentance and forgiveness is good enough to accept your wrongs and give them to him it doesn’t have to be in detail unless you want it to be for God already knows all you do and how you have sinned he knows when you’re going to sin before you do

Pray like in Psalm 51:1

Psalm 51:1

[ A Prayer of Repentance ] [ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. ] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

Colossians 1:14

in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

When we repent and ask forgiveness by Jesus blood we are given the forgiveness of or wrongs

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Once your repent has been requested and God has forgiven you the cancellation of your charges seen by God and penalties will be erased by God 

Ezekiel 14:6

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God:“Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

Hosea 6:1

Hosea 6 New King James Version (NKJV)

A Call to Repentance

6 

Come, and let us return to the Lord;

For He has torn, but He will heal us;

He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.

2 

After two days He will revive us;

On the third day He will raise us up,

That we may live in His sight.

Let us then come back to the lord who is hurt by our actions but will still be there for us to heal our broken and stricken souls to bind us once again he will bring us once again back to reality and raise us up in his excitement that we may live in him

Amos 5:4

[ A Call to Repentance ] For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;

Joel 2:12

[ A Call to Repentance ] “Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”

Turn to God in fervent spirit with all your heart with fasting, weeping,with sorrow and mourning 

Amos 5:4

[ A Call to Repentance ] For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;

Matthew 3:2

and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Pray like this…This is my prayer o lord that I accept I have done wrong in your eyes, that I accept that the account was made by me in my wrong. I ask in your holy and blessed name for the forgiveness of all my wrongdoings and I repent to you in all my heart accepting that which I have done as I seek your face and come to you that I may have my entry into your kingdom once again thank you o Father God – Amen 🙏 

Our God never wants to leave us or be far from us he wants to always be there and be with you he will never leave us alone even when he may be hurting for what we’ve done he is waiting for you to turn back to you again and build that life with you we just have to admit and repent for what we have done

So I told you all about the feather that God and the angels left me overnight on Friday night Saturday morning

I decided that since I had thought it was left by my spiritual Angels who are always with me and confirmed it I decided to keep the feather safe in the only place I knew best in my Bible 

So I opened my Bible while I was upset going through my own battle with life issues and finding this feather at the time meant everything and actually still does 

Sounds crazy that a Tiny feather could have so much importants in one little day but for me it’s Just more than AWESOME 

So anyway I opened my bible and opened to 

1 Samuel 16: 14-23

A Distressing Spirit Troubles Saul

14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him. 15 And Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you. 16 Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the [g]distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.”

17 So Saul said to his servants, [h]“Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”

18 Then one of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the Lord is with him.”

19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.” 20 And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul. 21 So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer. 22 Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.” 23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

Honestly this scripture was way over my head I’m still not understanding it really but I talked about it with a pastor Luke whom I am very close with who is where some of my writings on scripture ideas sometimes come from 

So I asked him to help me know what this scripture was about and he first answered me in over the head pastor language but then telling me in English what the scripture was expressing 

So in his first response to summarizing this scripture for me he responded 

“Saul is made a terror to himself. by disobeying God The Spirit of the Lord departed from him. If God and his grace do not rule us, sin and Satan will have possession of us. The devil, by the Divine permission, troubled and terrified Saul, by the corrupt humours of his body, and passions of his mind. He grew fretful, peevish, and discontented, and at times a madman” 

That was his pastor language too over my head along with the scripture hahaha 😂 lol

So I went on to tell him I was lost and did not understand that it was still over my head

So the response he proceeded to give me in English was 

“when we disobey God his spirit will leave us and only return if we repent”

I asked well how does that work he promised that he wouldn’t leave us 

Again his response 

“he doesn’t leave us but he may hide is face from us for a season to help grow as children of obedience”

———————————————————————So what I have gotten out of this is that God asks us to tell his story, love him and trust him with respect being faithful to him and teaches us to repent from our sin as we all sin and fall short from the glory of God that is why he died on the cross to save all mankind from their sin 

So we need to trust and obey that which God asks or he with turn his head from us and leave us Until we repent for our sin and only until we repent and obey him will he again be with us

He never wanders from us only turns away to not take part in the sinful nature we are committing during these times of hiding his face and leaving us are when we face trials and tests to bring us again back to him but first and only first we need to repent and ask forgiveness for what we’ve done wrong for him to again lead us in the path we walk 

These trials and tests are what builds -on our foundation -on our character and on our life creating who we become it is where our growth comes from like the lessons of a child only in faith and obedience 

God wants our love and trust but give him respect and repent for your wrongs so that together you can grow in relationship and spiritual maturity in Him he is waiting when you are ready in your time

Are you ready? 

Yes he’s waiting on you too 

Be in obedience with him always and he will bless you as he has me
