Good Morning, Friends! Today his Reflection Day! I really love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflection on what God has spoken to me about.

So!! get our your journals, pens, and bible and spend time with God. Listen to him and obey him. When you get uncomfortable with the quiet, just stay there and give God time to do…

Don’t Drift Away
Therefore, we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels prove to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedient received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, it was a test to us by those who heard, Hebrews 2:1-3 Do you struggle with hearing what is spoken to you? Can you remember what you heard? The author of Hebrews focus on this superiority of God’s son and his revelation is to stress to those who have salvation that they must…

Stand By Me
But the Lord stood by me and strengthen to me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the Lions mouth. 2 Timothy 4:17 Paul spoke truth. He was bold and courageous. God stood by Paul when no human would. In Acts 23 verse 11, it says the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “ take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome. “ Paul was anxious and nervous about what was about to happen to him. It looked as…

The Good Fight
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 The end is coming for Paul. He knows death is right around the corner, therefore, he is reviewing his life. Paul describes his life in a few phrases. Paul saw his Christian life as a good fight, the only fight worth fighting for. What was he fighting? Paul was fighting Satan, all behaviors that went against God, religious hypocrisy, immoral behavior, Abuse a spiritual freedom in the church, false teachers, distortion of Christ message, worldliness, and every kind of sin. When we look at this list, does it make you…

Listening To Truth
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 There will come a time when sound biblical teaching will not be the thing to do. There will be a time when some will not want to hear truth. Has that time arrived today? If things get worse than what they already are? There has always been a time where people don’t want to listen to biblical truth. They refuse to listen and support the biblical…

Discipleship
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2 Faithful men/women are to be able to teach others. The words “be able” not only applies to a person’s gifts and knowledge, but also to their character and lifestyle. Mature Christians need to take time to disciple new Christians. We need to tell them and show them the principles of God’s ways. Mature Christians need to speak biblical truths. They need to live by example. We need to follow the reasons for biblical and theological training. We are entrusted with the message…

Some Will Depart
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 1 Timothy 4:1 How sad that there will be people who will depart from their faith! The Holy Spirit revealed and warned us that this will happen in the end times. They will reject God’s truth. This will include ministers. They will be highly gifted and empowered by God. These ministers will accomplish great things and preach messages about Christ effectively. However, in the end they will depart from God. They will give into the deception and enticement of the evil spirits and false teachings.…

The Rapture
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the boys at the arch angel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so will always be the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Jesus is alive! One day he is coming back. This will be an exciting day! Are you looking forward to the day? Do you know about the rapture? The word rapture comes from the Latin word rapu.…

Satan’s Schemes
for this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain. 1 Thessalonians 3:5 Satan is crafty and deceitful. He will do whatever he can to learn us away from God. Paul knew this about Satan. Jesus knew this about Satan. For the second time Paul warns the Thessalonians. Today, people don’t believe in Satan or they take lightly of who he is. This shows their spiritual darkness and blindness to the spiritual realm. We need to realize that the spiritual realm is real. Satan is real. He…
