Ready, Not Afraid — Preparing God’s Way

When Jesus talked about “wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24:6), He didn’t say to panic or stockpile. He said:

“See that you are not troubled… the end is not yet.”

God’s preparation is spiritual, not survivalist. Here’s what Scripture shows about how we’re to get ready:


1. Get your heart right with God

“Repent… and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” — Acts 3:19

Preparation begins with repentance, humility, and a restored relationship with God, not fear-based actions.


2. Stay spiritually awake

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” — Matthew 25:13

This means living alert, faithful, and obedient, not distracted or spiritually asleep.


3. Walk in love, not panic

“Because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.” — Matthew 24:12

God’s people are called to grow warmer, not colder, more compassionate, not more fearful.


4. Trust God, not circumstances

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear is not preparation. Faith is.


5. Endure and stay faithful

“The one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” — Matthew 24:13

God’s instruction is endurance, steady faith, obedience, and hope

God does not prepare His people by warning them to survive destruction,
He prepares them by transforming their hearts so they’re ready to meet Him, whether in crisis or in peace.

PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR AMERICA

“Strive for peace and prosperity in America. Send prayers for her, and if she has peace, so will you.”

This message echoes the timeless wisdom of Jeremiah 29:7, urging us to actively seek the well-being of our nation. By praying for America’s peace and prosperity, we uplift our communities and find peace within ourselves.

Be Bold

Being bold as a witness for God means standing firm in your faith, even when the world pushes back. It’s speaking truth with love, sharing the gospel confidently, and living a life reflecting Christ’s light. Boldness isn’t about being loud or forceful, it’s about trusting God’s strength, stepping out in faith, and letting His Spirit guide your words and actions. When you stand boldly for God, you inspire others to seek Him, knowing He goes before you and equips you for every moment.

Finding Peace in the Mystery of Death

Today, I will talk about something that no one wants to hear or talk about death. Death is when your life is terminated and another word dead. It is sorrowful to most. Even to myself, because I lost friends and relatives in 2020.

God said that we should not worry, especially the Christians, because there is hope that He has given us to stand on. He promised that if we die while we are one with Christ we will rise again. I know you have that when the trumpet sounds, we will rise from the grave and live forever with him. But those not in Christ will be judged by Him for their unrepented sins.

So, to live with Christ forever is to repent of our sins, worship, and serve Him. I know it is hard to remember all the sins we have committed, so I say this short prayer to Him often. “Father God, in the name of Jesus. I repent of all my sins that I know about and those I thought were not sins. Wash me in Your blood and make me a Holy temple. Thank you for hearing my prayers and if I were to die today. I would be with You.”  So, death is something that we should not fear. Scripture reference: Rev. 21:4, 1 Thess. 4:13-14.

You are welcome to comment, let me know how you feel. I will admit that I am a Christian and sometimes full of sorrow and fear about death. All I know to do is stand on His promises. Amen!

No Bitterness

“Don’t let your life be filled with bitterness. Pray to the Lord and He will make it sweet.” Just as bitter waters were made sweet when Moses cried out to God, our lives too can be transformed through prayer. When trials weigh heavy on our hearts, turning to the Lord brings peace and renewal. His grace can soften the hardest moments and fill our souls with joy. Trust in Him, and He will replace bitterness with sweetness beyond measure.

THANK YOU LORD

“Thank You Lord, I am Grateful” is a powerful declaration of faith and gratitude, reminding us to pause and appreciate life’s blessings, big and small. In times of joy and hardship alike, gratitude opens our hearts to peace and hope, transforming our outlook and filling us with a sense of purpose. This statement encourages us to find strength in acknowledging the gifts we have been given, and to carry forward with faith and humility. It is a reminder that, no matter what, gratitude can light our path and uplift our spirit.

Tell The Story Of Jesus

Telling the story of Jesus is a profound journey through faith, love, and redemption. It begins with His humble birth in Bethlehem, where Mary and Joseph, guided by faith, welcomed the Savior into the world. The narrative unfolds as Jesus grows, performing miracles, healing the sick, and teaching love, forgiveness, and compassion through parables and sermons. His life is a testament to divine love, culminating in His crucifixion—a sacrifice made to atone for humanity’s sins. The story reaches its triumphant conclusion with the resurrection, where Jesus conquers death, offering the promise of eternal life to all who believe. This powerful narrative is a cornerstone of Christian faith, inspiring hope, love, and devotion across generations.

“We Wear Grace”

Clothed in the grace of God, we stand, not by our own strength, but by His unmerited favor. As it is written, ‘For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God’ (Ephesians 2:8). In His grace, we find our identity, our purpose, and our hope. We wear grace as a daily reminder that we are loved, forgiven, and redeemed.”
