Mercy triumphs over judgment
Celebrating our courageous fallen heroes who have laid down their lives for freedom and liberty.
The Captain of the hosts commanded Joshua to be of good courage. The best way for us as citizens is to demonstrate in our daily lives our own good courage.
Jesus said fear not and be of good courage.
Honoring courage and our fallen who showed us the way.
Be thou courageous says the Lord.
Hallelujahs!!!!

Today, could people say of you and me, “They are followers of Jesus.”? Yes, believers, but carried out in following Jesus?
When my mother was being promoted to heaven, she would sing and confess, “He leadeth me.” Over and over, “He Leadeth Me.”
These last 8 weeks, I know that I know, “He Leadeth Me,” and I have been following Jesus, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
When we follow we cannot take any credit or glory in what is done in us and for Him. So He is glorified; all glory is His.
As I come through this leading, there is no doubt that without the Holy Ghost’s power, strength, and help to follow Him all would have been loss.
Thank you Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. To You be all honor and glory forever and ever. After all, it says that Jesus is the Way—we must follow Jesus!

Qatar and the rest of the Arabs can use their riches to try to make all things right. With Iran, Qatar supported Hamas from the beginning, having played a major part in the hostage negotiations. The blessed one of God using the blessing of God and His promise to Hagar, the bondwoman, for her son Ishmael.
Islam cannot deny their Father Abraham, yet cannot accept Issac as the promised one. This is at the heart of Islam’s ideology to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This is the only way to legitimize their doctrine. The illegitimacy of Sarah and Abraham’s failure to believe God has continued this age-old conflict. The spirit of rejection is rooted in Islam and its road map is the Quran and Sharia law.
As Trump goes into the Middle East, he alone has been prepared by God because riches do not tempt him. I am not saying he is totally exempt, but things, wealth he has.
Hagar’s blessing was that her descendants would wander in the desert but become the richest nations in the world — black gold.
I have been going into the Middle East since 1994. During this time the leaders of Islam saw they could no longer have an isolationist mentality. They saw they had to unify their religious and political platform. The Imams foresaw that Christianity would be spread among them. Thus they vilified the West, USA, with Israel and named us the great Satan. They intensified Jihad which will never make peace.
Their abundance of oil and new inclusion in the world, especially with sports, has brought a renaissance of modernization.
Make no mistake, the spirit that is the Prince of Persia is named by God Himself. In Genesis 16:12, God foretells that Ishmael, son of Abraham and Hagar, will be like a “wild donkey of a man.” The phrase “wild donkey” (Hebrew: pere adam) is a metaphor used in the Bible to depict someone who is untamed, independent, and potentially disruptive. Donkeys are often associated with freedom and a rejection of constraints.
This prophecy signifies that Ishmael will be free and wild, unable to be subdued by any authority. His descendants would be known for a life of conflict and struggle, often in opposition to others. This prophecy is also linked to the idea of freedom and resisting subjugation. Their only hope, as well as all of us born into sin, is Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
The call out to everyone is, “Come unto me, all ye that labor 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. (Matthew 11:28-29)

Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up; You understand my thought from far away. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You know it all. You have encircled me behind and in front, And placed Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it. – Psalm 139:1-6 NASB2020
Omnipotent means having unlimited power, while omniscient means having unlimited knowledge. Here, we see our God as awesome, with all power. Nothing is out of His control, yet He knows me intimately, and He knows me in every way. Such power and yet such intimate knowledge of our every move, our every thought, and every way. David says simply that He knows it all. He knows us all.
He has made Himself available and calls us to know Him. His great power is manifested in His creation; we can see His wisdom in countless aspects of His great work. The heavens declaring His glory, the oceans displaying His power, the mountains His strength: all wisdom and might come together in Him. All of these demonstrate His greatness.
The one thing they cannot do is make Him available to us. His word governs nature, but He has given us His Word and His name—He is available to us. He knows us and desires to be known by us. All omnipotent and all omniscient. His beckoning us to, “Come unto Me and I will in no way cast you out.”
Keep on coming, keep on seeking, keep on being hungry and thirsting for His righteousness and Him alone. To know God and make Him known to others to glorify Him.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your name and Your word. Hallelujah to the Lamb!
This morning all over the media much is being touted concerning the incredible women in the world. So many women I myself have encountered through my travels over the years, to five continents. So many believing women of faith have enriched my life and encouraged me. God, when He created woman saved the best for last. She is the coupe de gras of creation. God had seen it was not good to be alone, so He created the woman and brought His goodness to man.
Years ago, I was convicted about giving only messages concerning women on Mother’s Day and Mary on Christmas. There are so many woman of faith in the Bible that are testimonies to our God—Godly women. In fact, this week will be Purim, in which Esther saved the Jews from genocide. Women full of faith, courage, and great love for God. Such as the woman who broke the vile of perfume and poured it on Jesus.
“Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.” – Mark 14:9 NASB2020
This woman will be unforgettable. This one-time act of worship and love for Jesus has been preached in my hearing many times in many places as Jesus said it would be.
As I listened, many media outlets declared the greatness of woman from motherhood to every aspect of life. Not one mentioned the value of wives; mothers, yes, but wives, no. The world’s view, since feminism has been championed, has devalued the woman as a wife in the world.
Of course, for various reasons in her struggles. Yet the word of God holds her in high esteem.
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the Lord.” – Proverbs 18:22 NASB2020
So when God saw creation was incomplete, and created Eve, for man, Solomon writes, concerning woman’s first introduction, she is good and brings favor into our lives.
Today I honor and appreciate all woman everywhere, especially those of the Father’s house, and cannot go without acknowledging my wife Betsy and three daughters Olivia, Hannah, and Norah. I love you sooooo much. Thank you Jesus!
