1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 #TPT
We appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, to instruct those who are not in their place of battle. Be skilled at gently encouraging those who feel themselves inadequate. Be faithful to stand your ground. Help the weak to stand again. Be quick to demonstrate patience with everyone.
Resist revenge, and make sure that no one pays back evil in place of evil but always pursue doing what is beautiful to one another and to all the unbelievers .
Let joy be your continual feast.
Make your life a prayer.
And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.
Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.
And don’t be one who scorns prophecies,
but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right.
Avoid every appearance of evil.

Proverbs 10:19-22 #TPT
If you keep talking, it won’t be long before you’re saying something really wrong. Prove you’re wise from the very start— just bite your tongue and be strong!
The teachings of the godly ones are like pure silver, bringing words of redemption to others, but the heart of the wicked is corrupt.
The lovers of God feed many with their teachings, but the foolish ones starve themselves for lack of an understanding heart.
True enrichment comes from the blessing of the Lord, with rest and contentment in knowing that it all comes from him.

Psalms 139:1-5 #TPT
Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.
You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.
You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence!
You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.
You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me!

5)I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

As believers in China began meeting online last year, government monitoring became much easier.
Now, many are going back to meeting in secret to avoid this heavy surveillance.

11)But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.
12)For You, O LORD, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];
You surround him with favor as with a shield.

"In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials." -1 Peter 1:6 😄🙌😢💔
1 John 3:12-16 #TPT
We should not be like Cain, who yielded to the Evil One and brutally murdered his own brother, Abel . And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s righteous.
So don’t be shocked, beloved brothers and sisters, if you experience the world’s hatred.
Yet we can be assured that we have been translated from spiritual death into spiritual life because we love the family of believers. A loveless life remains spiritually dead.
Everyone who keeps hating a fellow believer is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
This is how we have discovered love’s reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another.

Proverbs 6:16-19 #TPT
There are six evils God truly hates and a seventh that is an abomination to him:
Putting others down while considering yourself superior, spreading lies and rumors, spilling the blood of the innocent,
plotting evil in your heart toward another, gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong,
spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends . These are entirely despicable to God!

My 39 year old daughter is struggling with covid in a far away city. Will you please pray for her? Her name is Kelly. Thank you.
Romans 12:1-3 #TPT
Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.
Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.
God has given me grace to speak a warning about pride. I would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance. Instead, honestly assess your worth by using your God-given faith as the standard of measurement, and then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem.

God is always in good mood.
Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!
Psalms 37:5 TPT
Proverbs 2:6-9 #TPT
Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you.
For the Lord has a hidden storehouse of wisdom made accessible to his godly ones.
He becomes your personal bodyguard as you follow his ways, protecting and guarding you as you choose what is right.
Then you will discover all that is just, proper, and fair, and be empowered to make the right decisions as you walk into your destiny.

It doesn’t say:
Condemn one another
Gossip about one another
Begrudge one another
Look down on one another
Criticize one another
Nope! It says LOVE!
And Gods love is the most beautiful thing EVER! May it flow out of us onto others unconditionally! I was just SO BLESSED when I saw this picture that I had to repost it and share! I hope it blesses you too!
1 John 5:11-15 #TPT
This is the true testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. Whoever has the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not have the Son does not possess eternal life.
I’ve written this letter to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you will be assured and know without a doubt that you have eternal life.
Since we have this confidence, we can also have great boldness before him, for if we ask anything agreeable to his will, he will hear us.
And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have obtained the requests we ask of him.
