Proverbs 19:21-23
21 Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the Lord will stand.
22 What is desirable in a person is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor person than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
Do you need peace tonight? What are you fearing tonight? Fear the Lord, for He will teach the humble His way.
(See Psalm 25)

The fact that Christians disagree on what the Bible teaches does not mean that there is a lack of clarity in Scripture, but rather in Christians. The Word of God is our authoritative rule for faith and practice—meaning that it is perfectly sufficient for teaching sound doctrine and governing right living. ~ Dr. John MacArthur
A little encouragement for the ladies: from Jennifer
“But God sets no traps for us. Quite on the contrary. He has summoned us to the only true and full freedom. The woman who defines her liberation as doing what she wants, or not doing what she doesn’t want, is, in the first place, evading responsibility. Evasion of responsibility is the mark of immaturity.”

Don't listen to the Devil; he is a liar! He is still lying today as he did in Genesis 3:1 when he said to Eve, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" Don't be deceived; God's Word is always TRUE! Stand on the Truth of His Word, and don't entertain the lair.

Lots of prayer request coming through! Please know we are praying, we are fighting these battles in prayer! We are humbled that we can pray for you all!
This is a great reminder, that we battle not against flesh and blood, but we do partner together on the battlefields of spiritual warfare! Give Wise counsel to people, give them Biblical counsel, and if it isn’t rooted in the Word, withholding counsel would be a wiser option! Wage war with Godly wisdom!
Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war. - Proverbs 20:18

I am a friend of God! How about you? If you’re a friend of God, then you’re a child of God, and if you’re a child of God, you’re an heir of God, and if you’re an heir of God, then you’re blessed, and if you're Blessed, then share the blessing with someone today!
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. - Hebrews 1:1-4

“Above all, let us never forget the advice which Whitefield gave in one of his letters: let us ‘make much of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ There are many things of which we may easily make too much in our ministry, give them too much attention, think about them too much. But we can never make too much of Christ.”

18“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you."

"Sin is still Present in our lives, but it is no longer President over our lives"
As Christians, we are called to be Holy! We have been saved by Grace Alone, through Faith Alone in Christ Alone, and when that happens, God sets us apart, He sanctifies us as His children, and you are considered positionally holy in Christ. That means that God separated us from the power of sin, set us apart from the Kingdom of darkness, and placed us in the Kingdom of light. The ruling power of sin is no longer the dominant power in our lives. The reality is that "sin is still present in our lives, but it is no longer president over our lives" that is why Hebrews 12:14 says, " Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." If you are not pursuing holiness and growing in your faith, then beware, you might not be saved!
Galatian 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

God sees all, knows all, and is in absolute control of all! Walk-in those certainties:

When you look in the mirror today, don’t hate what you see, don’t say that you wish for something more or something less! Look in that mirror and say that I’m created in the image of almighty God, and what He created, He made no mistake! Could you be more sanctified, sure! But praise God you aren’t who you were when He rescued you from the grasp of Hell!
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. - Genesis 1:26-27
