"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."-1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)

HOLD ONTO GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND

GOT 'EM

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."-Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV)

GOT 'EM!!!!!!!

ALL EYES ON YOU

GOD, because;

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."-Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

VENI, VIDI, VICI

For CHRIST CAME, CHRIST SAW, CHRIST CONQUERED!

For CHRIST CAME, because;

"No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."-John 3:13 (KJV)

'For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."-Mark 10:45 (KJV)

But when CHRIST SAW, of;

"When he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things."-Mark 6:34 (KJV)

To CHRIST CONQUERED;

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."-Hebrews 2:14-15 (KJV)

So by US;

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."-Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."-2 Corinthians 5:19 (KJV)

VENI, VIDI, VICI, for CHRIST CAME, CHRIST SAW, CHRIST CONQUERED!

GO AGAINST THE GRAIN

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING, WHY TRY TO BE COOL & BLEND IN with the CROWD of the WORLD, by GOING with the GRAIN?

When YOU CAN BE REALLY COOL & ONE of a KIND & GO AGAINST THE GRAIN of the WORLD & BE LIKE CHRIST & GO AGAINST the GRAIN ALONE.

So;

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."-2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)

But;

"Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding."-Proverbs 9:6 (KJV)

Because;

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."-Psalms 1:1-3 (KJV)

So BROTHERS & SISTERS, this MAY BE HARD TO DO, but it's BENEFICIAL TO DO, but GO AGAINST THE GRAIN, & BE DIFFERENT from WHAT the WORLD WANTS YOU TO DO, because;

"A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good."-Proverbs 16:29 (KJV)

And;

"If sinners entice thee, consent thou not."-Proverbs 1:10 (KJV)

OFFENDED MUCH?

Well, YOU MUST KNOW & UNDERSTAND, of when CHRIST said unto his disciples that;

"It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!"-Luke 17:1 (KJV)

And;

"Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!"-Matthew 18:7 (KJV)

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

WHY, well, because;

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."-1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."-Romans 12:2 (KJV)

But;

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."-Romans 12:9 (KJV)

So;

"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."-revelations 18:4 (KJV)

CONCLUSION:

DON'T TAKE the ADVERTISING of SOME PERSON, PLACE, or THING at FACE VALUE! DON'T BUY, or BUY INTO SOME PEOPLE, PLACES, & THINGS, just because of WELL PROMOTION. SEE for YOURSELF, & MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION, BASED ON MORE RELIABLE & DISINTERESTED JUDGMENTS!

GOD IS IN CONTROL!

WHY??? Well;

"God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased."-Psalms 115:3 (KJV)

Because GOD SAID that;

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."-Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)

So

"See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever."-Deuteronomy 32:39-40 (KJV)

SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID!

WHY? Well because;

"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."-John 16:12 (KJV)

NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE

When it COMES to NEGATIVITY IN YOUR LIFE, YOU DON'T HAVE to BE CONSUMED by it, but DISOWNING it, byTURING that NEGATIVITY INTO POSITIVITY, because;

"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"-Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)

With;

"Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."-1 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

But to NOT;

"Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men."-Romans 12:17 (KJV)

In;

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."-Romans 12:21 (KJV)

Because;

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."-Romans 12:19 (KJV)

DON'T STRESS!

WHY STRESS YOURSELF??

DON'T STRESS, because CHRIST says to;

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."-Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)

WORDS HAVE POWER!

Because;

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue:"-Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

For in which;

"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit."-Proverbs 15:4 (KJV)

Wherein;

"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."-Proverbs 15:1 (KJV)

While;

"He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."-Proverbs 13:3 (KJV)

For;

"Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."-Proverbs 21:23 (KJV)

So;

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."-Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)

But;

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."-Luke 6:45 (KJV)

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

Since;

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."-Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
