@DevotionalTreasures A very timely word for me today. Thank you and may God bless you.
@KarlGessler "A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with." Amen!!
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." (Mat. 22:29).
Here Jesus was correcting the sadukees who didn't believe in resurrection from the death.
I'm thinking, how much have we as church gone wrong in a similar way today? Do we have faith in the real Jesus (who is Son of God, yet a man) and who is powerful in everything concerning our lives? Do we understand (and truly believe/act on it!) that the same power that raised up Jesus from the grave, now dwells in us? Are these signs following us (Mark.16:17-18)?
Do we know what the Bible says and read it by ourselves? Or do we trust that our pastor knows the best so that we don't need to read or understand it ourselves? Do we lean on tradition more than on God's word?
We need them both: the Power (Gods Holy Spirit) and the scripture (the Bible), so that we won't go astray.
God help us! 🙏
“Who is this?” they said to each other. “Even the wind and the sea do what He says!” (Mark 4:41).
Do we know this Jesus? Does this storm-calming Jesus disappear when we close our Bibles?
At times, I think I expect much more from my wife than I do from Jesus. But my wife can’t command storms and seas....
We expect far too little from Jesus.
We need to reconcile our creeds with our attitudes, decisions, and general approach to life.
A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with.

@PaigeJ7@brighteon.social @healthnut This does sound strange. Maybe you want to get someone to look into it, if you haven't already. Have you seen any more changes or learned any more about what this is?
@bsflower13 Thank you for sharing this story and your thoughts. I agree.
Have you ever heard this story?

"But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd".
Matthew 9:36 NKJV
Even today Jesus has the same compassion, He who is the same yesterday, today and forever and who is the Living One. I know that Jesus will help us, and he will do it for each of you and for his Church spread throughout the world.
@sinbach I love it!

@Mtranchgirl Thank you so much for this update! I will pray for you and your family right now. May God comfort and strengthen each of you.
this is Tammy- my sister Debbie went home to be with Jesus Today. she wanted to be healed but her body gave out due to covid and her doctors refused to let her take the ivermectin that was prescribed for her. I pray tonight she is wrapped in the arms of Jesus! this is Debbie's account and I know she appreciated all your prayers! please keep my family in prayer as this is a devastating loss - we are saddened to lose her - but know she's with God!
