=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I WANT TO BE FULLY COMMITTED

I AM BOLD

I AM LOVING

I AM FEARFUL

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

All of us will make it to the throne, but some of us aren't going to make it into heaven , because our ways will keep us from heaven. The Holy Spirit gave me a vision, and I saw this road filled with people, and these people were lost, and the Holy Spirit let me know there are so many lost souls in this world ; and some of us are lost right now, and we think the road we are on is going to lead us to heaven and it's not it's leading us to hell, some of us think who we are will get us in, some of us think because we are pastors and prophets that we must surely get in. I'm going to be honest and say we aren't. We all must start looking at our hearts. And are we obeying the will of God? Are we doing what we should be doing? Do we have a dedicated heart to God, and do we have the hunger to serve him? People right now, the only hunger they have is the hunger to feed their desires and wants; we must start changing today because if not, this is what we will hear from God . Matthew 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ He will say these words, and we won't have time to explain or debate; we must understand that God sees everything we do and what we say, and how we live our life right now determine how we will spend eternity. Some people think that hell is made up or they don’t believe this is something that will happen, or they think it's a myth. Let me tell you something, friends: if we don’t get it together fast, we never know when we will leave this earth , every day people are leaving this earth and fast, and they don’t have any opportunity to tell their loved ones anything , they have no opportunity to fix the problems they had everything comes to a stop. Yes they leave and they can't come back. It was a man, once rich man, who asked Abraham to allow Lazarus to give him a drink of water. Abraham said no, I can't do that he said you have enjoyed your life in comfort, and so the rich man said let me tell my family what I seen and know now , and Abraham said why? When they have prophets and others that will tell them the same thing you want to tell them, and If they won't hear them, why would they hear you? Luke 16:31 He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" We won't have time to warn family or anything; what we must do now is pray and get it right. Every day is the opportunity to get it right, but every day. some of us take it instead and waste our day away. Our life is strictly up to us, and what we do is strictly up to us; our parents can tell us how to live, our pastor can tell us how to live, and I can tell you how to live it , but it doesn't matter if I do , but if we don’t want to live for Christ we won't do it until we have a made up mind we won’t . We all have had the opportunity to make the lord the head of our life, but every day, we must choose: will I be a slave to sin or walk in the spirit ? God is giving us every opportunity every day to get it right, and it's up to us to say yes or no, lord, but every day we say no, we are pushing ourselves further away from living a lifetime with God. •Matthew 25:12 But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.'•John 10:14: I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, These two verses tell us two things: one, he will say, I dont know you if we aren't his sheep, and when we walk in the light, and we walk in a worthy walk, he will know us too, but as long as we continue in this way of iniquity and in this way of the flesh he won't know us, but we must pick today who will we serve man or God, and it's not hard to do, but the walk on the straight and narrow is small and only a few walk there because it's only a few that want to pay the price of walking with God Matthew 13:50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Hell is a real place; it tells us here that we will be thrown in a furnace, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; it will be a pain, but we can avoid all this by obeying God; no, this isn't a devotional to scare you, but this is a devotional about not going to hell. God doesn't want to send anyone to hell, but every day is a gift and opportunity to change our actions!

***Today, we learned that we all have a choice and can change what we do and who we make the head of our life, this place or God. It's easy to make this world the head; it's easy to be lost in Instagram reals and other things, but these things won't fill us; the word of God will fill us and help us grow! Hell is a real place; it's dark; it's the darkest place you'll ever be in; it has no air and no water, and the deeper you go, you'll see people in cages on the walls of hell; we have a choice now not to be in the cages, but if we don’t make a choice now to live for God and to give up our ways we are heading right to hell, let God be your shepherd let him be the head of your life to change you truly. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you so much for everything we ask you to help us through life. Sometimes life is hard, and it hurts, and we ask you to help us to place you first and to change unto these people you want of us; lord, we don’t want to go to hell; we want to go to heaven, but we must deny ourselves help us do this. Lord, we want to grow in you; help us to apply your word to our lives, help us to cast down our imaginations, and give us the strength to carry our cross and follow you, even when it is hard, even when it's hard to trust , help us to stay close to you and hear your voice in Jesus name amen

30th December >> Mass Readings (USA)

Sixth day within the octave of Christmas

(Liturgical Colour: White: B (2))

First Reading 1 John 2:12-17 Those who do the will of God remain forever.

I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name’s sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the Evil One. Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 96:7-8a, 8b-9, 10

R/ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise; give to the LORD the glory due his name!

R/ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Bring gifts, and enter his courts; worship the LORD in holy attire. Tremble before him, all the earth.

R/ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Say among the nations: The LORD is king. He has made the world firm, not to be moved; he governs the peoples with equity.

R/ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Gospel Acclamation Hebrews 1:1-2

Alleluia, alleluia. A holy day has dawned upon us. Come, you nations, and adore the Lord. Today a great light has come upon the earth. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Luke 2:36-40 She spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

There was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Study | Proverbs 1:7 | The Significance of Fearing the Lord in Light of the Gospel

An integral aspect of walking with God is the fear of the Lord. In this article, we examine the wisdom of Proverbs 1:7 in the light of the Gospel of Christ. In doing so, we gain insight into the importance of fearing God and the repercussions of forsaking wisdom and instruction.

God Is Worthy to Be Feared

The term "fear" in the context of the fear of the Lord is not the paralyzing terror we might associate with it. Here, “fear” translates to deep respect, reverence and love for God. Therefore, by fearing the Lord, we humble ourselves, choosing God's ways over our own, recognizing Him as the great I AM, who is alone worthy of our worship.

Psalm 96:4 (NKJV) - For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

The Bible confirms that the fear of the Lord does not entail living in constant dread or walking on eggshells under condemnation. It explicitly states that God has not given us a spirit of fear. Furthermore, it emphasizes that perfect love casts out all fear. This is especially true for believers, as we have obtained peace with God through the blood of Jesus. When we comprehend that the fear of the Lord is good for us because through it God lovingly guides us, then we have nothing to be terrified of. Consequently, we willingly choose to love Him.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Those Who Neglect Reverence Face Consequences

However, for those who fail to fear the Lord, there is something to be utterly terrified of. Paul, the apostle, acknowledges the terror of God, especially for unbelievers. This knowledge of God urges us to preach the Gospel, offering salvation to those who believe and sparing them from the impending wrath of God.

2 Corinthians 5:11 (NKJV) - Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Jesus himself advised us to fear God, who has the authority to destroy both body and soul, over fearing mere mortals who can only harm the body. The instruction to work out our salvation with fear and trembling resonates through the teachings; We are to always mindful that God, being just, will judge every deed.

Matthew 10:28 (NKJV) - And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV) - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

On the day of Judgment, if we are found guilty because we do not believe in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, for our salvation, we will face the penalty of sin–death–leading to eternal damnation and the wrath of God.

Worldly Knowledge vs. True Godly Knowledge

Fearing God, therefore, is the beginning of true knowledge, guiding us to follow the One who leads us to life–-eternal life. It allows us to know the true and only God. In contrast, worldly knowledge deceives by appearing clever, but it cannot save anyone's soul. This type of knowledge only puffs up, causing people to become wise in their own eyes, thinking that they know better than God. Some even deny His existence. However, by professing to be wise they become fools by rejecting the truth and not following Jesus. Therefore, they will face the consequences of those decisions.

Proverbs 3:7 (NKJV) - Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.

All Given the Opportunity to Choose Wisely

God warns and gives every person the opportunity to choose between life and death: Every person who walks this earth will hear the Gospel. Yet, many will despise this wisdom and instruction, unaware that in Jesus, God has hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) - For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Colossians 2:2-3 (NKJV) - that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

In conclusion, when reading Proverbs 1:7 with the Gospel of Christ in mind, we discern the benefits of fearing the Lord and the severe consequences of neglecting wisdom and instruction.

The Fear of God

Different from but related to the fears we often experience is what the scriptures describe as “godly fear” (Hebrews 12:28) or “the fear of the Lord” (Job 28:28; Proverbs 16:6; Isaiah 11:2–3). Unlike worldly fear that creates alarm and anxiety, godly fear is a source of peace, assurance, and confidence.

But how can anything associated with fear be edifying or spiritually helpful?

The righteous fear I am attempting to describe encompasses a deep feeling of reverence, respect, and awe for the Lord Jesus Christ (see Psalm 33:8; 96:4), obedience to His commandments (see Deuteronomy 5:29; 8:6; 10:12; 13:4; Psalm 112:1), and anticipation of the Final Judgment and justice at His hand. Thus, godly fear grows out of a correct understanding of the divine nature and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ, a willingness to submit our will to His will, and a knowledge that every man and woman will be accountable for his or her own sins in the Day of Judgment (see D&C 101:78; Articles of Faith 1:2).

As the scriptures certify, godly fear “is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7), “the instruction of wisdom” (Proverbs 15:33), a “strong confidence” (Proverbs 14:26), and “a fountain of life” (Proverbs 14:27).

Please note that godly fear is linked inextricably to an understanding of the Final Judgment and our individual accountability for our desires, thoughts, words, and acts (see Mosiah 4:30). The fear of the Lord is not a reluctant apprehension about coming into His presence to be judged. I do not believe we will be afraid of Him at all. Rather, it is the prospect in His presence of facing things as they really are about ourselves and having “a perfect knowledge” (2 Nephi 9:14; see also Alma 11:43) of all our rationalizations, pretenses, and self-deceptions. Ultimately, we will be left without excuse.

Every person who has lived or will yet live upon the earth “shall be brought to stand before the bar of God, to be judged of him according to [his or her] works whether they be good or whether they be evil” (Mosiah 16:10). If our desires have been for righteousness and our works good, then the judgment bar will be pleasing (see Jacob 6:13; Enos 1:27; Moroni 10:34). And at the last day we will “be rewarded unto righteousness” (Alma 41:6).

Conversely, if our desires have been for evil and our works wicked, then the judgment bar will be a cause of dread. “We shall not dare to look up to our God; and we would fain be glad if we could command the rocks and the mountains to fall upon us to hide us from his presence” (Alma 12:14). And at the last day we will “have [our] reward of evil” (Alma 41:5).

As summarized in Ecclesiastes:

“Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13–14).

My beloved brothers and sisters, godly fear dispels mortal fears. It even subdues the haunting concern that we never can be good enough spiritually and never will measure up to the Lord’s requirements and expectations. In truth, we cannot be good enough or measure up relying solely upon our own capacity and performance. Our works and desires alone do not and cannot save us. “After all we can do” (2 Nephi 25:23), we are made whole only through the mercy and grace available through the Savior’s infinite and eternal atoning sacrifice (see Alma 34:10, 14). Certainly, “we believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel” (Articles of Faith 1:3).

Godly fear is loving and trusting in Him. As we fear God more completely, we love Him more perfectly. And “perfect love casteth out all fear” (Moroni 8:16). I promise the bright light of godly fear will chase away the dark shadows of mortal fears (see D&C 50:25) as we look to the Savior, build upon Him as our foundation, and press forward on His covenant path with consecrated commitment.

-An excerpt from "Therefore They Hushed Their Fears" By Elder David A. Bednar Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”

1 Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah 4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. 5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. 6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies. — Psalm 54 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD

Job 38-42

The concept of “big” can be subjective, but when it comes to God, His magnitude is beyond comparison. God’s greatness and influence surpass all earthly entities. The Psalms are filled with references to God’s grandeur, glory, and majesty, all indicative of His vastness. Psalm 48:1 encourages us to praise God’s greatness.

God is infinite, with no beginning or end. His vastness is immeasurable, far exceeding the expanse of the ocean or the length of a street. We serve a God who is indescribable and transcends human language. The Bible is a testament to God’s majesty and splendour.

God’s greatness is multifaceted, varying for different people in different situations. Yet, His word is the key to understanding Him. God’s magnitude is such that He is the eternal king of heaven, glory, and kings. He is the sovereign king, enduringly strong, eternally steadfast, and impartially powerful.

God’s life is unparalleled, His goodness limitless, and His mercy everlasting. His love never changes or dies, it abides forever as stated in 1 Corinthians 13:13. The totality of the Godhead is incomprehensible and invincible, reflecting God’s magnitude.

God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. He is all-powerful, omnipresent, and all-knowing. He knows us inside and out as per Psalm 139:1-4. No power can stand against Him. Isaiah 40:27 refers to God as the everlasting Creator of all the earth, who never grows weak or weary.

Numerous songs and hymns have been written about God’s greatness, yet they barely scratch the surface of His true nature. Psalm 147:5 invites us to see and praise God’s greatness. It should inspire us to delve deeper into the scriptures to truly comprehend God’s magnitude.

These verses, among many others, underscore the immeasurable greatness of God. His power, wisdom, and love are beyond our comprehension, yet He invites us to know Him and experience His greatness in our lives.

Jeremiah 10:6: "There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might."

1 Chronicles 16:25: "For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods."

Psalm 96:4: "For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods."

1 Chronicles 29:11: "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head overall."

Nehemiah 1:5: "I said, “I beseech You, O Lord God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who preserves the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments."

Isaiah 12:6: "Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."

Ezekiel 36:23: "I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,” declares the Lord God, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight."

Psalm 147:5: “Great is our Lord and of great power; His understanding is inexhaustible and boundless."

Matthew 19:26: "But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

PRAYER: Lord, I am in awe of your greatness, majesty, and splendour. I am grateful that you chose to make me in your image and commune with me. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom

25th December >> Mass Readings (Except USA)

Christmas Day - Midnight Mass and Mass during the Day.

Christmas Day - Midnight Mass

(Liturgical Colour: White: B (2))

(Readings for the Midnight Mass, celebrated during the night before Christmas Day)

First Reading Isaiah 9:1-7 A Son is given to us.

The people that walked in darkness has seen a great light; on those who live in a land of deep shadow a light has shone. You have made their gladness greater, you have made their joy increase; they rejoice in your presence as men rejoice at harvest time, as men are happy when they are dividing the spoils.

For the yoke that was weighing on him, the bar across his shoulders, the rod of his oppressor, these you break as on the day of Midian.

For all the footgear of battle, every cloak rolled in blood, is burnt, and consumed by fire.

For there is a child born for us, a son given to us and dominion is laid on his shoulders; and this is the name they give him: Wonder-Counsellor, Mighty-God, Eternal-Father, Prince-of-Peace. Wide is his dominion in a peace that has no end, for the throne of David and for his royal power, which he establishes and makes secure in justice and integrity. From this time onwards and for ever, the jealous love of the Lord of Hosts will do this.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 95(96):1-3,11-13

R/ Today a saviour has been born to us: he is Christ the Lord.

O sing a new song to the Lord, sing to the Lord all the earth. O sing to the Lord, bless his name.

R/ Today a saviour has been born to us: he is Christ the Lord.

Proclaim his help day by day, tell among the nations his glory and his wonders among all the peoples.

R/ Today a saviour has been born to us: he is Christ the Lord.

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad, let the sea and all within it thunder praise, let the land and all it bears rejoice, all the trees of the wood shout for joy at the presence of the Lord for he comes, he comes to rule the earth.

R/ Today a saviour has been born to us: he is Christ the Lord.

With justice he will rule the world, he will judge the peoples with his truth.

R/ Today a saviour has been born to us: he is Christ the Lord.

Second Reading Titus 2:11-14 God's grace has been revealed to the whole human race.

God’s grace has been revealed, and it has made salvation possible for the whole human race and taught us that what we have to do is to give up everything that does not lead to God, and all our worldly ambitions; we must be self-restrained and live good and religious lives here in this present world, while we are waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the Appearing of the glory of our great God and saviour Christ Jesus. He sacrificed himself for us in order to set us free from all wickedness and to purify a people so that it could be his very own and would have no ambition except to do good.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation Luke 2:10-11

Alleluia, alleluia! I bring you news of great joy: today a saviour has been born to us, Christ the Lord. Alleluia!

Gospel Luke 2:1-14 'In the town of David a saviour has been born to you'.

Caesar Augustus issued a decree for a census of the whole world to be taken. This census – the first – took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to his own town to be registered. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee and travelled up to Judaea, to the town of David called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them at the inn. In the countryside close by there were shepherds who lived in the fields and took it in turns to watch their flocks during the night. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Listen, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly with the angel there was a great throng of the heavenly host, praising God and singing:

‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy his favour.’

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Christmas Day - Mass during the Day

(Readings for the daytime Mass on Christmas Day)

First Reading Isaiah 52:7-10 Rejoice, for the Lord is consoling his people.

How beautiful on the mountains, are the feet of one who brings good news, who heralds peace, brings happiness, proclaims salvation, and tells Zion, ‘Your God is king!’

Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices, they shout for joy together, for they see the Lord face to face, as he returns to Zion.

Break into shouts of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord is consoling his people, redeeming Jerusalem.

The Lord bares his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.
