While on a personal retreat recently, this thought came to mind: “Focus on Jesus”. Not focus mainly on problems, bad news, politics,etc., but as the following scripture reveals, focus on Jesus as revealed in scripture. “fixing our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭aTCENT‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/3427/heb.12.2.TCENT

One day Jesus will call my name As days go by, I hope I don't stay the same I wanna get so close to Him that it's no big change On that day that Jesus calls my name...🎶🎶🎶 ~#LyndaRandle

Another of the Apostle Paul’s prayers: ”do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,“ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You can't please everybody. Ignore the noise of the crowd and focus on the One Whose opinion really matters, the LORD Jesus Christ. #SaturdaySentiments

After Watching The “World’s Worst #Pedophile”, You’ll Understand Exactly Why #Jesus Said These People Should Take A Millstone, Wrap It Around Their Necks & Throw Themselves In The Sea (Video) https://thewashingtonstandard.com/after-watching-the-worlds-worst-pedophile-youll-understand-exactly-why-jesus-said-these-people-should-take-a-millstone-wrap-it-around-their-necks-throw-themselves-in-the-sea-video/

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Luke 10:41-42 And Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.’

”But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.“ ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/gal.1.8.NKJV Should point out that Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, and those who believe that one must observe Saturday as the Sabbath in order to be saved, are preaching another gospel. If you are in such groups, repent, trust Jesus for salvation if you haven’t already, get out of those groups, and get into sound Bible believing churches.

Jesus lived that He might die, and died that we might live. ~Charles Spurgeon

Friends all around us are trying to find What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined; I have the secret, I know where 'tis found: Only in Jesus true pleasures abound. 🎶🎶🎶

People are SO uninformed. The secular, Zionist state of Israel is not the old testament Israelites; and they are not our friends. They despise Christians, and recently passed a bill to imprison anyone who preaches or teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The current war there is a land grab, as was the 6-day war in 1967. The attack on the USS Liberty, by Israel in that war (and our own government complicit in that attack) remains an outrage that has been covered up. https://www.usslibertyveterans.org/

Don't stop praying Don't stop calling on Jesus' Name Keep on pounding on Heaven's door And let your knees wear out the floor Don't stop believing 'Cause mountains move with just a little faith And your Father's heard every single word you're saying So, don't stop praying...🎶

I trust Jesus, I trust Jesus In the storm, in the fight All my days, all my life I trust Jesus, always Jesus Come what will, come what may Still my heart will choose to say I trust Jesus...🎶🎶🎶

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus And to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise And to know thus saith the LORD. Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er; Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus O for grace to trust Him more!

The only hope for the world is to surrender to the LORD Jesus Christ. #ThursdayThoughts

Another one of Paul’s prayers with a praise along with it: ”For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.“ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬, ‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.3.14-21.NKJV

”Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.1.1-2.NKJV Focus mainly on Jesus, not all the things in the world. Spend way more time in God’s word, and less on CNN, Fox News, BBC, NPR, and other news outlets. Listen more to God’s word and less to politicans and unsaved celebrities. Allow God’s word to renew you mind and revive your soul.

Another of the Apostle Paul’s prayers: ”And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/php.1.9-11.NKJV

”For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭ We believe the church of Jesus Christ needs to present the gospel to Jewish folks that they maybe saved. Like the early church did. And we reject false conspiracy theories against Jewish folks spread by white supremacists and Muslims.

Paul was a man of prayer. It would be good to read, note, and even study the prayers which the apostle prayed for the churches he wrote to. Better still, for us to pray those kinds of prayers for our churches, and for believers in other churches that we know of. I am starting a series posting Paul’s prayers. Here is the first one l am going to post today. ”Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.“ ‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/2th.1.11-12.NKJV
