UPDATE ABOUT LITTLE JOSHUA WITH SEIZURES: He has improved but is still not completely back to normal. Today he is struggling with hyperactivity and emotional meltdowns (common after seizures). Thank you for all who cared and Prayed!
Matthew 16:24-27 #TPT
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you." -Psalm 143:8 🌄💞
James (Jacob) 1:22-25 #TPT
Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!
If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.
You perceive how God sees you in the mirror of the Word , but then you go out and forget your divine origin.
But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do!

I will love thee, O Lord , my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
— Psalm 23:6
This is the beautiful provision of our great Shepherd, wrapped in His undeserved Love for as long as we follow Him.

These are our constant calling in serving God, in good times and in bad times too. In this He rejoices over us, lifting us up.

Psalms 119:5-8 #TPT
How I long for my life to bring you glory as I follow each and every one of your holy precepts!
Then I’ll never be ashamed, for I take strength from all your commandments.
I will give my thanks to you from a heart of love and truth. And every time I learn more of your righteous judgments,
I will be faithful to all that your Word reveals— so don’t ever give up on me!

Happy Sunday! ❤️ This Sunday morning I'm sat in church in total freedom... a full worship team on stage, the room full of people and the Word is being preached with no restriction. As I'm sat here, I can't help but think of our brothers and sisters around the world today who are totally unable to experience that same freedom. I pray I never become so distracted by my own comfort that my heart forgets to keep them in constant prayer.
This past week, more than a dozen Christians were arrested in China's latest house church raid. Keep the church and its members in your prayers 🙏🏼

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

“These young people in China get it. Despite persecution (real persecution, as in, some of their leaders and peers have been jailed for their Christian faith), they meet secretly in underground discipleship classes. Please pray that these young people will be used to transform society and expand the Kingdom of God in China and beyond” #WithinReachGlobal
Matthew 15:17-20 #TPT
Is it hard to understand that whatever you eat enters the stomach only to pass out into the sewer?
But what comes out of your mouth reveals the core of your heart. Words can pollute, not food.
You will find living within an impure heart evil ideas, murderous thoughts, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, lies, and slander.
That’s what pollutes a person. Eating with unwashed hands doesn’t defile anyone.”
