Do What it Says - Your Daily Bible Verse - October 31

James 1 is one of those passages that leaves no room for casual faith. Today’s reminder felt like a spiritual mirror.

How often do we read God’s Word, agree with it in our minds, and then drift back into old habits without letting it take root?

The devotional asked a convicting question: is there something in my life that doesn’t line up with Scripture? I don’t want to be someone who forgets what she looks like after looking in the mirror of God’s truth. I want to walk away changed. May we not just listen, but live it.

Thank you for just the message I needed to hear - lower my expectations. Something is better than nothing. I forgot that. Thank you for the reminder.

Arch Angel Michael is protecting me while God watches over me and helps me with every life situation I find myself in.

I had a massage once about 20 years ago by a very spiritual woman. I loved her massages because I always ended up in some type of beautiful hypnotic state unlike any peace I have ever felt in my life. After one particular Massage I had an overwhelming and extraordinary feeling of peacefulness unlike anything I’ve ever felt before I was in such a deep trance like state it took me a long while before I could even get up off the table. She said to me “Arch Angel Michael was standing by your feet the entire time I was massaging you” I wondered why I had felt that overwhelmingly, incredible and indescribable feeling of calm and peacefulness. So intrigued, I asked her more questions but she couldn’t give me any more answers except for “I can only tell you what I saw.” I’ve always believed Arch Angel Michael has always been with me as my protector. I have experienced some very dangerous and traumatic and freak experiences in my life, I even died and had to be resuscitated by CPR and instead of asking God why did this happen to me? I thanked him for sending Arch Angel Michael to protect me and help me get through my issues, no matter how hard and impossible it seemed at the time.I know I am blessed with Jesus in my heart and God having helped me through each and every traumatic and troubling situation I have experienced in my life. It doesn’t help you to question why bad, sad, hurtful, painful, tragic or terrible and unwanted, unforeseen things happen in our lives - things just happen and we may never know why they happen to us. But by having faith in God and by believing and trusting in him, you will receive the Lords love back and his strength and protection will always be following you and helping you cope with whatever problems you may encounter. Thankyou Lord for being with me in my greatest times of need. Even when I was at my very lowest and never felt so alone - I knew you were always there with me with Arch Angel Michael my protector. Thank you Lord Jesus Amen.:folded_hands::heart:

:mending_heart: :ewe: Amen, thank you for sharing. I want to practice being a message therapist but had some fears about moving forward because of how intimate it is and I’m cautious about putting myself in situations where the enemy can attack or bring false accusations. I’m growing in God’s Grace and learning to trust him more. :thinking: Maybe I’ll study now and start professionally when I’m a little older and grayer, like a grandma type lady :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. Please keep me in prayer.:folded_hands: :mending_heart:

:mending_heart: :ewe: I’m so grateful for this post, this ministry, God’s faithfulness, and his love for me, enough to correct me. THANK YOU, GOD! This was such a timely message for me because I’m struggling to hold on to my faith with family members who are determined to believe what they believe rather than the word, the living word of God. :ewe: :ewe:How can two people walk together, except they agree? If we disagree, then we invite confusion, discord, strife, division, pride which means that someone is in agreement with the opposition :smiling_face_with_horns: :sad_but_relieved_face: and is thus deceiving themselves :mirror: . It’s so clear to me, what the bible says when they say ‘did not we do ___ in your name? and he will say depart from me because you work iniquity”…:folded_hands: :place_of_worship: “Father God, forgive me for my sins, your word is true and always right concerning me and everything in my life. Have mercy on me and the rest of these, your children, with stiff necks and stoney hearts, in Jesus’ name we pray, amen”:face_exhaling: :disappointed_face: :mending_heart:

I have always had faith but as I get older my faith is stronger than ever. I will explain why I have had a little problem with my church though.

My Great Granddaughter was to be Baptised and I was chatting to one of the clergy and asked if I could read a lesson during the service. My favourite is from from 1 Corinthians 13

If you read it it is all about Love. Being patient, kind, not jealous, or selfish or irritable, love does not keep records of wrong……and so on. This is honestly how I have tried to live my life.

This person who I have invited into my home along with her husband, thought were friends. Wouldn’t let me read my favourite lesson… I was devastated as on the day she seemed to take delight in the fact. I wrote to her afterwards and I thought all clergy were trustworthy and confidential, to my horror she forwarded my email onto other people. (Other members of our church) The reason I know this is that she forgot to delete my email address so I saw her in a new light. I also saw the responses. This happened last June, I have been a member of my church for over forty years, my husband and I went at Christmas.

This lady has spoilt church for me, I just cannot believe that she could be so mean to me,

I will never get the opportunity to read this to my great granddaughter again, because

her baptism is past. I am so hurt and for more than six months it has been constantly on my mind. I have tried other churches but the one I am talking about is my church, where I have always felt comfortable….I still, pray every day, and have really tried my best to over come this but I find it impossible.

I thank thee God for all that you do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I recently, as recent as last night, began attending choir practice for the church i an attending regularly. I believe and know God has delivered me from such sin and the effects of that sin was having on my life and those around me. I do not wish to discuss in detail what sin I was delivered from but let it be know, the sin I was delivered from was consuming my life and my soul, I feel like, was already in hell. Jesus delivered me. Jesus healed me. Jesus loves me. He also loves you. For the longest time, I continued to pray and pray and pray for deliverance and that is what God did for me and now I sing, worship, and praise him with all my being to the best of my ability. I truly love God withall my heart, mind, body, and soul and I love my neighbor as myself. I do this to the best of my current ability and the understanding God has giving me through the gift of the Holy Spirit. I pray for continued protection of me, my loved ones, and those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I pray for the salvation of those who remained lost. And I rebuke satan, the demons, and all workers of iniquity in the might name of Jesus and I ask God to intervene in the lives of the humans who may have fallen to the powers of darkness. Redeemed them Lord God. Convict their hearts Lord God. And continue to let your light through your Son shine through and around me and others today so we can do our part in helping people know you better. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Please remember the following in your prayers today:

  1. My mother Kathy Nuzman.
  2. My son Kyle Jackson Abbott.
  3. My sister Reba Howard and her husband Tito.
  4. My father Henry Wayne Abbott.
  5. My friend Elizabeth Rose Beck.
  6. My niece Kayla Elizabeth Duran.
  7. Those who are lost and need saving.
  8. God knows each of the needs of those listed above and I ask you to call them up to the Lord today and ask God to meet their needs and to improve them in Him in the areas of life they need improving in and for them to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviot if they have not already done so. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the glory, and the power, forever and ever, amen.

Thank you Lord God in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost l, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Sincerely in Christ,

Welcome @Joewhitelaw1

First, thank you for your service. Second, it sounds like you have been through a lot. I’m glad to hear you have a helper and friend. You have many more than just your Wife. You have the Family of God. You have God Himself.

You did not mention if you are a child of God, through the faith in Jesus; if not, that would definitely be the place to start. I would be happy to show you the way if you need. I will assume you are because you came to a Christian site looking for help.

Some believe that once you become a child of God, life is all roses and lollipops, with rainbows and kittens around every corner. But this is simply not true. The Bible doesn’t sugarcoat suffering; it teaches that we live in a “fallen” world where human choices to sin have introduced chaos.

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Jesus explicitly tells us that “bad stuff” is a guarantee, not a sign that God has lost control. His “charge” isn’t about preventing every storm, but about being the anchor within them.

God can take an act of genuine malice or a “bad” event and repurpose it for a greater good. He doesn’t call the evil “good,” but He makes it serve the good. Sometimes bad things happen, and we don’t see the “why.” However, remember, God’s sovereignty operates on a level of complexity we simply cannot grasp.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

My child might think a shot from a doctor is “bad,” but I, the parent, who sees more, know it is for their health. God being in charge means we trust His character when we can’t track His hand. Often, we see God’s control most evident in the outcome, not necessarily the immediate circumstance.

Then, of course, you have my favorite verse, Romans 8:28

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

Life is not “all things are good.” But we know God works through them. He is like a master artist using dark colors to provide contrast and strength to the overall picture. Again, welcome. Having a bad day, having a happy day, got questions? Let’s talk about it. The Forum has a wide variety of children of God, from all walks of life and experiences.
May God be with you.

Peter

Sadly this is a common problem, I will not get into the whole God’s plan for family unless you wish me too. I will just say this. As long as you are mentally well, have all your factualties, and are phyically able, then they have legally have no say.

However, I do say pray, sometimes we do not want to be honest with ourselves. I cointinue to have issues because I do not want to accept I have phyical limitations. Just be honest with your self. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. So they keep telling me.

I will keep you in pray my new friend. Be blessed and be well.

Thanks for your impute. I am mentally sound but have difficulty hearing so I use hearing aids for television and have a hard time listening to my adult daughters because they mumble their words, My wife told me just a few years back that my memory was excellent and wondered how I could remember events and people from the decades past, I told her it must be a gift from God that allows me that privileged but is is also a burden to do so some times.

Sounds like you need to get a lawyer involved. Have a stipulatory will that only leaves anything to them if your wishes are met. Harsh, but needed to ensure your wishes are honred. Best wishes Brother.

We did make wills for both of us. I hope that will be enough because they identify who gets what as a 50-50. split for both. This idea of theirs bothers me. I pray daily and at night so the Lord sees my heart and my pain.
