Some recommended resources I mentioned last night for Bible study. ⬇️
Remember, first read and study straight from noscripture. That is your entree! Then go to commentaries for dessert. 😊

Sit with Holy Spirit and He will teach you His written word directly!
“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14:26 NLT

Also, this quick clip is talking about the study I was referring to the other night about what happens when people read their Bibles 4X per week. These statistics are awesome! Imagine if it was everyday? 🔥
I challenge everyone to exercise your spiritual muscles at least 4X per week by getting into the Word of God and seeing how it effects your life!

Y’all, my friend Rebekah and I just left the movies where Holy Spirit gave me a word of knowledge for an employee’s mom. He FaceTimed his mom and Rebekah and I prayed for her. She was battling with kidney failure, congenital heart failure, and MS and also had pain in her wrist. By the time we finished praying for her she had NO pain and was full of peace and joy. She was just crying out to the LORD for Him to heal her and to send someone to her and Holy Spirit did it all! He is soooo awesome!! It is fun to follow Jesus!! 🙌🏻❤️🥳
Also, go see the movie Journey to Bethlehem! It is really good!

For the ones who don’t think they can carry on any longer, this is for you:
Your Heavenly Father never asked you to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. He never asked you to be the glue that holds others together. He never asked you to fix every problem that comes your way and He definitely didn’t ask you to solve world peace.
You may believe you are responsible for these things because at an early age your world was crushed and the way you were able to cope was to create systems that helped bring order to chaos. And you have been coping that way ever since.
Don’t get me wrong, our Heavenly Father is not against order; He is a God of order! But it’s when we build boxes to contain the chaos within us or without, that we try to do things on our own strength…and that, my friends, is just too much for anyone whose name is not I AM to handle.
The Good News is that Jesus not only came down to our hurting and broken world, but through Him, He saved it. He became the order to our chaos. The healing balm to our bleeding hearts. The Savior of every broken part of us that needs mending. If we open the door and invite Him into the box we have built to feel secure, that ultimately keeps Him out, He will show us a better way of living.
Peace in the midst of chaos. Joy in the midst of trials. His strength when we’ve got nothing left.
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Today I want to challenge all of us to get rid of our boxes. To let go of control and the things we take comfort in apart from Him, that keep us from running the race like we want to run it. To be free in Jesus.
If we are in Christ, then this life is no longer ours to live. And that, in itself, is Good News. We get to rest knowing that Jesus has brought us too far to quit now. He is faithful to finish the work He has begun in us until the day of Christ Jesus. So look up, let go, and trust in His great love for you.
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33

Just How Christian Are You?
❤7🔥2👏1🤣1
There is a documentary type of film on Amazon Prime called “Saving Christmas” that I recommend for anyone who has read or heard that Christmas is pagan and why Christians should not celebrate it. While the film is beyond cheesy at times (it’s Kirk Cameron), the facts are quite beautiful.
While doing our own research is good, we also need to recognize that we are living in times when good is portrayed as evil and evil is portrayed as good. The internet has made it easy for the enemy to twist truth (which is defined as wickedness, biblically speaking) and we need to remember that we can’t believe everything we read or hear, just because it’s on the internet. Flying octopus, anyone?
We must ask ourselves what the fruit is. And whereas Christmas is concerned, maybe it’s not Christmas itself that is evil; maybe it is how man uses it. Man, in its sinful, fallen state and its need for a renewed mind has a way of tarnishing that which God gives as pure. It has been this way since the garden, and we cannot forget this or we may believe we are seeing truth, but really there is a snake that is only portraying it as such.
If the fruit that comes to mind when thinking about Christmas contains greed and consumerism, maybe the mind needs to be renewed? Maybe the issue is with us and not with the true meaning of Christmas as God intended it to be?
If the fruit is excitement and celebration regarding the King’s birth, peace on earth, and goodwill toward men, maybe that joy needs to be shared with minds that have learned to see evil in everything, including that which is good. Maybe we need to step away from the Internet and what it says and examine the fruit? Remember, the fruit on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil looked “good enough to eat.” Just because something looks or sounds good does not mean it’s truth. There is only one Truth and His name is Jesus. And if I was His enemy, I would probably be working overtime to convince His people that an opportunity to celebrate His birth (no matter what month He was born) is evil instead of good.
While doing your own research, don’t forget to look at both sides of the debate. If you don’t, your view will become skewed and you may not realize the enemy has stolen something from you, yet again. Watch “Saving Christmas” on Prime. It’s free. And sit with the Father about it.
I personally, after researching and praying about this topic am forever grateful that Emmanuel came to us and am going to take the opportunity to celebrate my King, no matter what the Internet says. The birth of Jesus came long before the Internet was invented and the celebration will last long after it has passed away. Glory to God in the highest!

Do you do any of the five?
Moment of truth: is the issue with other people or is the issue with us? Let’s be honest with ourselves. Until we are honest and invite Jesus into the areas of our hearts and pasts that we don’t even want to look at ourselves, we will continue to suffer and so will the people around us. This does not mean others have no faults of their own; it simply means we are not innocent either and as we take responsibility for our own words and actions, we can have a different harvest that brings forth beauty from ashes.
Sanctification is a lifelong process and the Good News is that Jesus will heal, deliver, and restore every area we allow Him into!
