<p>Our meditational verse, Colossians 3:23 KJV, And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;<br/>When putting forth effort, it is crucial to give it our all, with heartfelt dedication, as if we are doing it for the Lord, not just for others. It is essential to remember that our actions should stem from our commitment to doing good rather than solely seeking the approval of others. Above all, we are accountable to a higher power and should endeavor to live our lives accordingly. When we make an effort, we must do so wholeheartedly, with sincere dedication, as if we are doing it for a divine purpose, not just for the sake of others. It is vital to remember that our actions should come from our commitment to doing good rather than solely seeking the approval of others. Most importantly, we are accountable to a higher power and should strive to live accordingly.</p> A Healing of our Nation: 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJVtag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2023-08-10:916966:Topic:61820342023-08-10T12:09:17.960ZWillie Whitehttps://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/WillieBWhite

<p> </p> Freedom Through Christ Jesustag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2023-07-05:916966:Topic:61809512023-07-05T14:38:53.444ZWillie Whitehttps://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/WillieBWhite
<p>Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.…</p>
<p>Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?<br/> 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 And I, brethren if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased. 12 I would they were even cut off, which trouble you. 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.<br/> 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.</p>
<p>Our devotional message for today and tomorrow is a strong appeal for all who believe in Jesus Christ to stand firm in the religious freedom granted to us.<br/> Since we as believers have been called out of slavery; so, let us not return to sinful lifestyles giving place to the Devil and his evil way of life. <br/> Therefore, my brothers and sisters, stand strong in your newfound freedom given to us by Jesus Christ, who shed His precious blood, redeeming us back to the Father.<br/> Let us have an attitude of gratitude expressed in our words and lifestyle-holy living, manifesting the righteousness of Christ in us.</p>

<p><span><strong><sup> </sup></strong>Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: <strong><sup> </sup></strong>But they that wait upon the </span><span>Lord</span><span> shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.</span></p>
<p>Living in a fallen world with chaos, many become weary and dismayed. This chaos has caused me to sometimes become overly concerned about the conditions of our world and ask God when there will be peace in the valley. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>As I was trying to keep my spirits up, I went to God on this subject; Isaiah 41:10 KJV came to mind, which asks us to wait on the Lord and not become dismayed nor fear anything, but Him (Partial Phrase)—also, considering that many of our young people are experiencing difficulties processing all of the mass shootings, and other evilness that is being played before their and adults eyes, which led me to the above scripture verses.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>If I can leave one thought with you today, it is “Wait on the Lord,” for He will bring all of the evilness to an end in His time. We are to trust Him with our total being, never doubting that He, the Lord God, is in control. He knew these days were coming before any of us ever thought that such evilness would come to fruition.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Another encouraging word is to ask God for strength to persevere, lean, and depend on Him; for God is all-powerful, He is sovereign, He is everywhere, and knows all, and can do anything but fail. <em><strong>As we (they) who wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.</strong></em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><span><strong>Wait on the Lord; He is our all-encompassing God.</strong></span></em></p>

<p>Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you (Ephesians 4:29-32 KJV).</p>
<p>And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil (Joel 2:13 KJV).</p>
<p>We are coming to the close of 2022 and approaching 2023, and with all of the chaos we have witnessed this year, the Holy Spirit led me to write about kindness by providing encouraging scriptures that will aid us in making a change for the new year.</p>
<p>Many will make New Year's resolutions with good intentions to keep them, but many still need to keep what they have pledged to do or what changes they will make.</p>
<p>Given all the hatred spewed out of so many mouths until it makes you wonder what has happened to civility. Is there no respect for the hearers of the foul language spoken or the hateful acts carried out on our fellow man? Just what is the problem? </p>
<p>Where did all of the hate, malice, and anger come from? Ephesians 4:31-32 provides the answer when it states. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.</p>
<p>Instead of all the hatred in whatever form it is portrayed, we are encouraged to be kind, as it takes many formats. Providing random acts of kindness, we manifest the love of Christ, letting the world know that yes, I may not be what I want to be, but I am not what I used to be because I have committed myself to make a new start in the New Year.</p>
<p>Our new pledge begins in the heart, which manifests in our actions. A new pledge strategy is supported in Joel 2:13, which tells us to rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.</p>
<p>A New Year, a new beginning that begins in the heart.</p>
