One more. Amen. Psalms 47:6-7 reads, Sing praises to God, sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. Psalms 50:23 -Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Psalms 150 -Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Amen. Also. Ephesians 1:12 -That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Temptation- You have to give every sin up. Give up. And never come back to it. Be like Jesus and the woman who committed adultery. Sin no more. James 4:1-10, From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Oh! Pop. The question What are you doing? (v. 2)- ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss(inappropriately and wrongfully), that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adultresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. And know that temptation is the tests and trials of your faith. And we need to exercise it. James 2:18 -Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, bring alone. James 1:2-4, My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:12-21, Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempeth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lusts, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Gods words has power. Luke 4:36 -And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! For with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. Jesus said give alms and don't transfigure your faces in Matthew 6. So. There is no such thing in every way to say there isn't any Jesus! And. Don't mess up your faith with them. They try to deceive you by saying, "Jesus. A real man didn't do all of that." But just know. He did. We are no more worthy than Him. Luke 9:23 -And Jesus said to them all, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 14:27 -And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. We are no more worthy than he. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

If you're by yourself and all alone. All you have to do is pray to God by yourself. Do it by yourself. Luke 6:12 -And it came to pass in those days, that he(Jesus) went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Amen. You don't have to have anyone with you. He will hear your cry no matter what your situation. If it's lonliness. II Timothy 3:10-11, But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Amen. The Lord delivered Jesus and He will deliver us. Too. Because God cares for us. I Peter 5:7 -Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Unity is needed in the church. Unity is good for our Church⛪ fellowship. Because we cannot fellowship without unity. With Jesus Christ, I am strong for I can do all things through Christ Jesus that strengthens me. I Peter 5:10 -But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. Have faith in God. Faith without works is dead. James 2:20 -But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:26 -For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Exercise your faith. To exercise your faith; talk to God, obey Him, study the scriptures, listen to the word of God(Holy Bible), show gratitude towards Him and be mindful of Him. We must follow Jesus and have a relationship with our God and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The things to do to follow God are; be in prayer, actively read the word(Holy Bible)📖, obey His commands and seek godly community ⛪. A godly community can be church or Sunday School. God can be your provider. He can get you from bottom to the top. And. He can get you a house🏠 and a car🚗. But there is work for you to do. The component that will get you to that relationship between you and Jesus Christ is the cross✝. You got to pick up your cross✝. The cross✝ is that component. Mark 10:21 -Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, "One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross✝, and follow me. There is work to do. Being a servant of God you're going to have tests and trials and temptations. And you're going to have persecution. We must suffer persecution as Jesus to get our reward. II Corinthians 12:10 -Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong. II Timothy 3:11-12, Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. God disciplines and chastises us. If we are His. Hebrews 12:5-7, And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But the Lord will restore you. God will help you to grow. Please. Don't throw away your opportunities with God. Hosea 6:1 -Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Isaiah 40:31 -But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. I Peter 5:10 -But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. II Corinthians 5:17 -Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. When you become holy. You transform and become different from what you were before. Ephesians 4:17-24 reads, This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Amen. Holiness and Sanctification are the processes by which those who are already Christians gradually become more like Christ. I Peter 1:15-16, But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Holiness and Sanctification are not possible without becoming born again first which is having the power of Christ within you. If you don't have a testimony to tell about how you met Jesus, then first of all ask Jesus into your life and become born again, and be real and true in heart. Jude 1:20 -But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Romans 6:22 -But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. II Corinthians 7:1 -Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Ephesians 4:24 -And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. I Thessalonians 4:7 -For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. Titus 2:3 -The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; Hebrews 12:14 -Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Amen. We must be holy in all manner of conversation. Let the Lord bless the hearers and doers of His word. Amen. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
