Dear Friends , Satan never has a good day. He is miserable, and he wants you miserable too. He offers you fun, that turns into sorrow, laughter that turns into tears and temporary pleasure that turns into a life of pain and possibly into an eternity of pain. The Bible tells us that we must resist. Satan wants to destroy our life while God desires to give more of life. John 10:10... "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." NKJV In order for us to resist the devil, we must first allow Jesus to change us from the inside out. You can go through the motions and do all the right things, but if you don't let Jesus change the old ways, you are being ripped off. Don't allow the enemy to gain control. Submit to God and allow His Spirit to change you.

Daniel 5:25-28 25 And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. ... 26 This is the interpretation of each word. Mene: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 Tekel: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 Peres: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. NKJV Dear Ftiends , The King Belshazzar was afraid. The hand with fingers appeared out of nowhere in the midst of a party where he defiantly mocked the God of Israel and celebrated the false gods of Babylon. We can all easily look at this and think, "Silly king worshiping idols." But friend, we know in the word that coveting leads to idolatry (See Ephesians 5:5). Is there anything that we put before the Lord? Is He first in your time, talent, treasure, and circumstances? If not, what is first? No matter how good it may be or noble that thing is, if it is before the Lord it is an idol. Perhaps the Lord has revealed something to you that you have allowed to slip in front of Him in your life. Are you reading His writing from His word before He issues His corrective and loving judgment against that idol? The Lord loves us so much that He graciously many times allows us to judge ourselves in light of His truth before bringing a corrective hand into our lives. 1 Cor 11:31-32 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. NKJV

People that know me to know that I am a person who leans on God for an answer, not on people I don’t get caught up on Black lives matters movement or Blues lives matter because as much as people don’t want to hear it all lives matter. God did not die or made a promise to one specific group or race he promised it to us all, many of you are still looking everywhere for answers to life‘s problem except in the Scriptures and that where you run into problems because we think we know more than God. So today I urge you to help someone by directing them to the Bible for answers to their problem, showing them the parts that speaks to their special-needs and question. God‘s word is available to us. Let us hope people know it before a time comes when they cannot find it. God bless
