  3. Not one of us, in fact, lives with regard to himself only, and no one dies with regard to himself only. For if we live, we live to Jehovah, and if we die, we die to Jehovah. So both if we live and if we die, we belong to Jehovah. ❞ ~ Romans 14:7,8

  4. Beloved, there is a fresh wave of God’s grace rushing toward you for every new trial or trouble that comes your way. Our natural inclination is to look in despair at the waves of adversity in our lives, but our loving heavenly Father wants us to look by faith at His waves of grace washing over us—one after another without end—and receive from His fullness every practical supply we need.

  5. When I was very young, between 3-7 my family read the Bible and talked to me about the Bible and stories from it. My first real and only church experience was at 7. My grandparents took me to Catholic church. During this service when the "father" began reading from the book of Revelation my eyes literally closed. The More I tried to force my eyes open to read revelation I got a worse and worse headache. After this I went home and prayed. God told me to read the entire book before I read Revelation. So I began.
    Over the next 17 years I read and studied the Bible in its entirety, but eventually focused on the new testament, specifically Matthew Mark Luke and John…..during this time between 7 and 24 years old many times I tried to read revelation, even just a few sentences. And every time I tried to read it my eyes would physically close and I would get a headache.
    However, I did read the first few verses of revelation MANY times over that period as I started the book of Revelation a thousand times, but I couldn't get past the first 4 or 5 verses when I tried.
    Sometime in the summer of 2000, when I was 24, I began trying to read the book of revelation and this time God let me. No more headaches or eyes closing.
    It was then very shortly into reading it something stuck out,
    But I didn't know exactly what,
    It was a feeling in my gut,
    so I asked God what am I missing..
    He said "Listen closer."
    After reading the beginnning of revelation numerous times I finally realized I recognized a phrase,
    Rev…1:3.
    "for the time is near".
    Until this point I even though I had read it numerous times before, I was so focused on reading more before my eyes would close and a headache would start I didn't hear it closely until this point.
    I immediately began searching where else I heard that phrase. Soon I found it;
    In Luke chapter 21, verses 7-8:
    This is where Jesus Christ specifically tells us to not follow the many who come in his name claiming 'I am He' and "the time is near"-
    Jesus says do not follow those who use that exact phrase.
    I eventually googled the phrase and found that the author of revelation uses that phrase twice.
    I asked God if what He was showing me is proof that he warned US about Revelation and that it is a false prophecy- He said "what does My Word The Bible say?"

    Listen, the reason how I know this doesnt matter because it doesn't change what Jesus says;
    Jesus says do not follow the many who come in His name claiming 'the time is near' – the author of Revelation then uses that EXACT phrase TWICE, once in the first chapter and again in the last chapter: effectively sealing the entire prophecy called Revelation with a phrase JESUS CHRIST tells us not to follow anyone who uses it.
    Since 2000 I have been quietly talking to people and showing them this. Whomever will listen- which hasn't been many. In August of this past year(2020) I asked God what else am I supposed to do. He said make a video and tell everyone.
    So, I did.

  6. Trust in Him – suffering can be hard to bear, but even if we do not understand the reasoning behind it, we can know that God loves us and is in control.

    Job could not see the end. Jesus knew the joy that was before Him, and even then felt the bitter weight of suffering at the garden of Gethsemane.

    If you trust Christ with your salvation: do so with your life, as well, especially when you're not sure what's going on.

    I've a long way to go, but He is faithful.
