Try Me, Put me to the Test!

In the previous verse (v 9) of I Chronicles 4, Jabez's Mother gave him this name because she birthed him in pain; which translates “sorrow maker”! However, Jabez was the only one among his brothers who was honorable. Now honorable has many synonyms; but the proper word to use is "righteous" because Christians are familiar with its meaning.

Jabez did not want to carry the burden his name meant throughout his life; so he went to God in prayer that His blessings be upon him ~ and God responded with a “yes”! There is nothing more powerful than God's blessings that are placed upon those who love Him. God already loves all of us unconditionally; but to love Him, is to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, love the unloving, shelter the homeless, and daily seek God for guidance and direction to set out daily to love the way He loves, give without wanting anything in return, and pray in all circumstances without ceasing! God hears our prayers and will grant our request! Righteous living is to be in right standing with God!

To be blessed by God is to be protected, in good health, and favor in all that we encounter and do!

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved, and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction. Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments. What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
