DAY 72: SUNDAY... A DAY OF REST & RELAXATION, REFLECTION & RESTORATION... Our weekly reminder that Jesus saves. Use this day of rest to pray and ask God about the people currently in your life. Have you chosen your friends? Or have you asked God to choose for you? Do these friends lift you up or pull you down? Have there been family arguments, disagreements with friends, or have you just lost touch with someone and would like to reconnect?... It's time to extend the Olive Branch and offer the GRACE card... pursue peace and FORGIVE because (brace yourself) God sees everything... and hears everything. Consider thinking of God as actual light; present everywhere, all the time. Always there for every single conversation you've had... yikes! Now imagine that when Lucifer sinned against God, he was thrown out of heaven 'at the speed of light'... changing his heavenly form. He fell to earth, not as light - but as a form of light, as fire - destroying everything that he would come in contact with. He sows a ring of fire around your soul, trying to chain you to the sin of this world using greed and envy. Now, try to imagine Jesus as a form of water, where when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, out of your heart will flow rivers of living water. Use that living water to put out the fires of sin and death in your life. God can hear all your conversations, including your inner thoughts. This is why it's said that merely thinking about sin is itself sinful, as thoughts can lead to actions. In contrast, the devil only hears the thoughts you vocalize. Therefore, when discussing your deepest desires with God, it's best to keep them in your mind rather than speak them aloud. This way, only you and God are privy to those thoughts. If you vocalize them, the devil will immediately attempt to thwart those plans and dreams. When you pray to God, be very specific in your requests. The more details you include, the better. This way, you'll clearly recognize the source of your blessings when they arrive. The devil seeks to disguise temptations, presenting them in enticing, heavenly-like wrappings. If you encounter these, reject them immediately. Stand firm against the devil. Holding onto that sin for too long and looking into its dark nature may make it difficult to let it go. Consequently, you might inadvertently pass that sin onto your friends and family. The 4th of July is about Freedom... Please take the time to write out a heartfelt card and give/send it to someone you love with a copy of 'No, Not, One'. Tell them what you need to in the card; Only you and God know what that is. Sometimes the people you love get tired of hearing you 'preach to them' about God. So, let me tell them what you can't in the book. Whether it's asking for forgiveness, giving forgiveness, seeking reconciliation, or giving them to God, while you head off on the path God has for you. Either way. Set yourself and others free this 4th of July and Make This A Summer To Remember as you COME ALIVE 2025 - YOU WERE MADE FOR MORE! YOU DESERVE IT... Do yourself a favor. Make your list today. Pick a card or make your own. Start planning what you want to say. Then, put your Gold Star up for today. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Remember, friendship is dirty business. Sometimes you have to humble yourself (like Jesus did ) and get down into the mud with someone and let them know that you care about them. Give them the hope of Jesus! Be Blessed!
