(Mat. 5:9) and His own know His voice and hear Him say, &#8220;This is My child in whom I am well pleased.&#8221; The story is longer and more than what you can read.<\/p>\n<p>July 23, 2024<br \/>\nJesus loved me before I knew there was a Jesus.  I cannot work for His love, but there are times I think, &#8220;How can He love me?&#8221;  Then I remember, Jesus is the Son of Love (Son of God).<\/p>\n<p>July 22, 2024<br \/>\nPeace can start when you are not the most important thing in  your life.  Not that you are valued less, but you love and respect others as equals.   More us and less me.<\/p>\n<p>July 21, 2024<br \/>\nThe God who changes not is Love. Not will be love. Not use to be love. Not is sometimes love. GOD IS LOVE!<\/p>\n<p>July 20, 2024<br \/>\nThere are people too broken to recognize love as love. Jesus came to heal that brokenness. Love one another through.<\/p>\n<p>July 18, 2024<br \/>\nJesus said to go and invite people. If Christ Jesus is the host of the event, God will be there.<\/p>\n<p>July 17, 2024<br \/>\nI am so glad God&#8217;s forgiveness comes with an invite back into the kingdom of God (the family of God). I call that grace.<\/p>\n<p>July 16, 2024<br \/>\nLove will not hate someone because your ideology was offended if your ideology includes, &#8220;love one another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>July 15, 2024<br \/>\nTelling people that they are doing it wrong is not the gospel.  Telling people Jesus did it right is the gospel.  What Jesus did He did for you!<\/p>\n<p>July 11, 2024<br \/>\nThe tower of Babel was an attempt to build a stairway to heaven.  Scripture tells us about the new city of Jerusalem on the new earth.  Your kingdom come on earth . . .<\/p>\n<p>July 10, 2024<br \/>\nThere are no words to express the meanings in a single tear.  When the eyes start to rain, they tell a story that can only be understood by the Spirit  and a caring heart.<\/p>\n<p>July 9, 2024<br \/>\nGrace does not encourage one to sin. Grace is a gift from the sin free Son of man.<\/p>\n<p>July 8, 2024<br \/>\nOnce you know that people are the Church, the gathering of the Church makes sense. God adds people to the Church daily.<\/p>\n<p>July 3, 2024<br \/>\nWe have a responsibility to Jesus to share the gospel of the kingdom of God and the grace that grants us re-entry.<\/p>\n<p>June 30, 2024<br \/>\nFaith with works; faith came first!<\/p>\n<p>June 29, 2024<br \/>\nSeek and you will find. God is seeker friendly!<\/p>\n<p>June 25, 2024<br \/>\nThere is no outside the Church. There is outside the building where the Church meets at times. That is not outside the Church.<\/p>\n<p>June 24, 2024<br \/>\nI cannot fix anyone. I can tell you about my experiences with Jesus. After that, it is between Him and you.<\/p>\n<p>June 19, 2024<br \/>\nJesus is the I Am. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Know the Truth and the Truth will make\/set you free.<\/p>\n<p>June 14, 2024<br \/>\nWith the Spirit of God leading you, you are not leaning on your understanding.  Not all hearts are evil.  The idea that all hearts are evil comes from a fleshly understanding.<\/p>\n<p>June 13, 2024<br \/>\nWe gather to encourage and not to entertain. What a blessing it is when we also enjoy praising God as a gathering of the Church.<\/p>\n<p>June 10, 2024<br \/>\nThe walk of faith is like a journey with a friend to the friend&#8217;s house. He knows the way and He has the keys to the door.<\/p>\n<p>June 5, 2024<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itw4j.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Today.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"717\" height=\"280\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itw4j.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Today.jpg 717w, https:\/\/itw4j.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Today-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>June 4, 2024<br \/>\nJesus said, &#8220;Love  one another as I have loved you.&#8221;  Represent My love to another. Forgive one another,  Heal one another.  Teach one another.  Share bread with one another.  Give each other grace.<\/p>\n<p>June 3, 2024<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t argue over doctrine.  Just quietly and with intent flip over the tables.  You are a temple of the Holy Spirit, be a house of prayer.  Speak what you hear from the Father.<\/p>\n<p>June 2, 2024<br \/>\nGod is love. There is no law against love. You cannot say that about lust.<\/p>\n<p>June 1, 2024<br \/>\nLet praise go before you in the battle. Praising God encourages your allies and confuses the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>May 28, 2024<br \/>\nThere is nothing wrong with love.  Love one another.  You do not sleep with everyone you love.  The truth is, you do not sleep with most of the people you love.<\/p>\n<p>May 26, 2024<br \/>\nSometimes context is saying, &#8220;in this situation.&#8221;  Other times a statement is truth regardless of the situation.  Rightly divide and discern.  Study with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Mzy 25, 2024<br \/>\nOutside the building is not outside the Church.  The sidewalk and parking lot are just as much Church if we are there in Jesus name.<\/p>\n<p>May 24, 2024<br \/>\nYou cannot repent without there being a change. Turning to or back to God is a change. The road home starts with one U-turn.<\/p>\n<p>My 22, 2024<br \/>\nhe command to go into all the world is a body ministry.  You are not expected to traverse the whole earth.  Do your part wherever you go.<\/p>\n<p>May 21, 2024<br \/>\nDo not make it so complicated that you stop trying.  The cross ended the endless trying to find salvation with your own trying.  Jesus succeeded!<\/p>\n<p>May 15, 2024<br \/>\nThere is one gospel and it is the gospel of Christ Jesus. It is His ministry you walk in or you&#8217;re just making noise.<\/p>\n<p>May 14, 2024<br \/>\nForgiveness is not self-centered. It is also not without benefits for both parties. The difference is motive.<\/p>\n<p>May 13, 2024<br \/>\nArguments against grace are arguments against your own survival. Embrace grace!<\/p>\n<p>May 10, 2024<br \/>\nIf you are going to gossip about a brother in Christ, tell him and God first and see where that goes.<\/p>\n<p>May 9, 2024<br \/>\nThe fear of making a mistake has paralyzed many dreams and projects. You can never finish what you have never started.<\/p>\n<p>May 8, 2024<br \/>\nOn a hot day, shade from a tree is the tree&#8217;s fruit. Do not judge the blessing. Be thankful.<\/p>\n<p>May 4, 2024<br \/>\nWhat account do you keep for a debt that has been forgiven. Thankfulness?<\/p>\n<p>April 30, 2024<br \/>\nWe all need help sometime.  We all have a little something to give. You may not always get back from where you give, but someone will share something with you.  It is not reciprocal.  It is community.<\/p>\n<p>April 26, 2024<br \/>\nThe kingdom of God is all around us.  We live in a confused and lost world that makes every effort to hides the kingdom from us.  Look to God in Christ!<\/p>\n<p>April 23, 2024<br \/>\nDo not confuse the warning with the gospel. The gospel is the good message of the kingdom and access by grace through faith.<\/p>\n<p>April 22, 2024<br \/>\nInclusion that states, &#8220;Everyone is included except&#8230;&#8221; is not inclusion. We are all invited!!!  The good news is not the curse or the punishment, but the end of the curse and associated punishment.<\/p>\n<p>April 21, 2024<br \/>\nThe invitation to the Lord&#8217;s table is inclusion that believes you belong there!<\/p>\n<p>April 20, 2024<br \/>\nThe love of God sent Christ Jesus so we never have to be without love! Of all that remains, love is the greatest. Thank God!<\/p>\n<p>April 16, 2024<br \/>\nDying to self cares if what you want to do harms someone else and puts that selfish want to death.<\/p>\n<p>April 13, 2024<br \/>\nThis life makes no sense at all without the existence of a creator and an afterlife.<\/p>\n<p>April 11, 2024<br \/>\nLove is outgoing and ongoing.  Even if you are angry or adamantly disagree with someone, love them.  Even if they do not or are unable to return love, love them.<\/p>\n<p>April 7, 2024<br \/>\nWe get upset or angry with the people we love.  We do not stay upset or angry if we have a relationship that allows for communication.  When we do not do feel free to communicate, we can still take it to God.  That is, if we feel free to communicate with God.<\/p>\n<p>April 2, 2024<br \/>\nGrace is a thing. For the particulars, ask God!<\/p>\n<p>April 1, 2024<br \/>\nWhile we were still sinners God did not abandon us.  God is not waiting for you to get perfect to interact with you.  God came looking for Adam and Eve.  God comes looking for you.<\/p>\n<p>March 30, 2024<br \/>\nSin has not been watered down.  Sin has been washed away!<\/p>\n<p>March 26, 2024<br \/>\nJust because the enemy tells you to hate someone, you do not have to listen. Resist the devil. Submit to God.  Love one another!<\/p>\n<p>March 25, 2024<br \/>\nIf love is what the Spirit produces, then the Spirit must be love with a big love seed in the middle.  Seed producing like seed.<\/p>\n<p>March 24, 2024<br \/>\nYou are the temple of the Spirit with 24\/7 access to the Holy of Holies. You will find mercy and receive grace!<\/p>\n<p>March 23, 2024<br \/>\nWe were not created to do life alone. We are homes to the Holy Spirit and sibling to one another.<\/p>\n<p>March 20, 2024<br \/>\nWe were not called to be superstars. We were called to be members each doing our part. That makes for a healthier body.<\/p>\n<p>Match 18, 2024<br \/>\nPeople ask, &#8220;How do we love someone we do not know?&#8221; How do we hate someone we do not know? Choice has to be in there somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>March 14, 2024<br \/>\nIt is time for us to stand on the promise that the poisons of this world will not harm us!<\/p>\n<p>March 13, 2024<br \/>\nWe do not fight the internal battles alone. God in Christ is still God in Christ in the Christ in you.<\/p>\n<p>March 8, 2024<br \/>\nAs plain and simple as I can explain it; when you are in Christ, you are in Love.<\/p>\n<p>March 4, 2024<br \/>\nI believe in angels because I have been visited by angels. They have sung to me, danced with me, and talk with me about our Lord.<\/p>\n<p>March 1, 2024<br \/>\nUntwist the truth: The gospel calls people to Christ Jesus and not a religion.<\/p>\n<p>February 27, 2024<br \/>\nPeople acting like Noah was crazy and Noah being crazy are not the same thing. Do not let other people define you.<\/p>\n<p>February 22, 2024<br \/>\nThe narrow path is the on ramp to the highway of holiness. Jesus walked that path, so we can walk the highway.<\/p>\n<p>February 17, 2024<br \/>\nWith our words we can invite an environment to help others walk out their faith. If you do not know how, ask God.<\/p>\n<p>February 16, 2024<br \/>\nThe church meeting hall should have a revolving door.  The sky is the ceiling of the Church.  Going does not have to be halfway around the world.  The USA fields are rip and the workers are few.<\/p>\n<p>February 15, 2024<br \/>\nLife is precious not because it is short. Even eternal life is precious. Life is precious because life is a gift from God.<\/p>\n<p>Frbruary 12, 2024<br \/>\nThe religious leaders of the day killed Jesus because they feared losing the hold they thought sin gave them over the people.   The Pharisees feared grace.<\/p>\n<p>February 10, 2024<br \/>\nGod so loved the world. God so loved diverse peoples that He gave us His only begotten Son.<\/p>\n<p>February 9, 2024<br \/>\nYou need to be emptied of the garbage of this world.  That garbage is not you.  Be you attached to Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>February 8, 2024<br \/>\nLove your enemy means you can still care for and about people no matter their differing opinions about life.  We have all sinned (made mistakes). Do not deny grace in your heart based on the type of mistake someone made.<\/p>\n<p>February 6, 2024<br \/>\nPeople want to give the year a title. I hear, &#8220;The year of the Highway of Holiness!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>February 5, 2024<br \/>\nThe fact that salvation is not by works does not mean there are not works to be done.  We are to be ambassadors of the kingdom of God advertising the goodness (gospel) of the kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>February 4, 2024<br \/>\nDuring intercession at BOL this morning, I saw an angel of the Lord with a sword of light knighting everyone in the room. He was inducting everyone into the army of God.  Then I heard, \u201cWhen the army of God praises the spirit of darkness flees.  The spoils left behind are flesh and blood the enemy used to attack the body.  We are to go into the fields and gather up the spoils and take them to spiritual Jerusalem (God\u2019s city of peace).\u201d <\/p>\n<p>February 3, 2024<br \/>\nGod has given to us continually. Look for the blessing in every day. Do not be ungrateful for the common blessing.<\/p>\n<p>February 3, 2024<br \/>\nJesus knew we would not have peace in this world.  Humans were staying in this world for a while yet.  He brought us peace for our inner kingdom and not in this worldly existence.  Receive grace!<\/p>\n<p>February 2, 2024<br \/>\nWhen people use the term, &#8220;Church talk,&#8221; when they mean lying, they are messed up. Pray for them.<\/p>\n<p>February 1, 2024<br \/>\nA true friend is a friend regardless of your current successes or struggles.<\/p>\n<p>January 31, 2024<br \/>\nFaithfulness at the stag of life you are in is important.  You will not know it all in after only two decades of life.  It can take multiple decades to learn to be childlike after puberty.<\/p>\n<p>January 30, 2024<br \/>\nThe Way is not how we have been perfect. The Way is how we have been forgiven. The Way of love perfects our imperfect ways.<\/p>\n<p>January 29, 2024<br \/>\nInformation does not make you wise. Information is a tool that must be used wisely.<\/p>\n<p>January 28, 2024<br \/>\nHave you ever stifled a word because you believed it would not be accepted by the crowd?  That is the crowd that needed to hear.  Speak the word in love.<\/p>\n<p>January 26, 2024<br \/>\nThe building where the church meets should have a revolving door. The work is out there!<\/p>\n<p>January 24, 2024<br \/>\nThe kingdom of God is in spirit and truth. That is where true worshippers worship.<\/p>\n<p>January 22, 2024<br \/>\nMiracles are a thing. Life itself is a miracle. We have just gotten use to being alive and do not see the miracle.<\/p>\n<p>January 20, 2024<br \/>\nYou are the Church without going anywhere. Gathering with the Church is you and some friends getting together.<\/p>\n<p>January 18, 2024<br \/>\nYou cannot get condemnation from a place where it does not exist.<\/p>\n<p>January 13, 2024<br \/>\nYou cannot force or legislate people to love. Love is spirit and comes from Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>January 10, 2024<br \/>\nYour bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.  That is asked as a question by Paul (Do you not know).  Let your body honor God is the point of the question.<\/p>\n<p>January 9, 2024<br \/>\nTrue freedom does not enslave other people, nor does it require you to sacrifice your morals.<\/p>\n<p>January 9, 2024<br \/>\nRemember God gave us a choice and asked us to choose life. Christ Jesus is the life. Choose to reason with the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>January 8, 2024<br \/>\nDo not give lip service to being a servant. Do not boast in your own pride. We all serve or no one is our leader.<\/p>\n<p>January 6, 2024<br \/>\nWhen you decide to try love, leave out lust. Have a righteous desire based on the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>January 4, 2024<br \/>\nThe righteous we have is because of mercy and grace. We are the righteousness of God only in Christ.<\/p>\n<p>January 3, 2024<br \/>\nPeople moving on does not mean they are bad and you are good.  They had places to go you were not going.  You had places to go they were not going.  The Spirit blows where the Spirit blows.<\/p>\n<p>January 2, 2024<br \/>\nThe Way leads us to the highways and byways to seek our lost siblings in Christ. No longer on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>January 1, 2024<br \/>\nGod has given us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 25, 2024 The voice of God is not restricted by what is written on the earth.
