Psalms 2:10-12 #TPT
“Listen to me, all you rebel kings and all you upstart judges of the earth. Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God. Recognize his greatness and bow before him, trembling with reverence in his presence.
Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son before his anger is roused against you. Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves in him!”

On May 1st, church leaders in China were faced with new rules.

Proverbs 13:12-14 #TPT
When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.
Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded.
When the lovers of God teach you truth, a fountain of life opens up within you, and their wise instruction will deliver you from the ways of death.

Psalms 84:9-12 #TPT
God, your wraparound presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones.
For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all!
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you!

Stand firm in faith! It's time to be courageous! Discrimination against the unvaccinated with blatant segregation has began in multiple countries. If you haven't read my post from a couple weeks ago on the vaccine passport, then you HAVE to read this! We need everyone to WAKE UP! https://theovercomers.blog/2021/04/16/its-time-to-take-a-stand/
Psalms 145:13-17 #TPT
You are the Lord who reigns over your never-ending kingdom through all the ages of time and eternity! You are faithful to fulfill every promise you’ve made. You manifest yourself as kindness in all you do.
Weak and feeble ones you will sustain. Those bent over with burdens of shame you will lift up.
You have captured our attention and the eyes of all look to you. You give what they hunger for at just the right time.
When you open your generous hand, it’s full of blessings, satisfying the longings of every living thing.
You are fair and righteous in everything you do, and your love is wrapped into all your works.

Read about the communist official--dead and cold in the morgue--who was raised from the dead by prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ! Everyone that saw it became a Christian.

Philippians 3:8
8)But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,

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!
