“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, Then the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor…” (Isaiah 58:13-14, NLT).
Sadly, Adam and Eve were conquered by Satan. Not because he has the power to coerce us to sin which separates us from God, but when tempted, if we willingly make decisions that detour us off of the Path of Righteousness then Satan seeks to control us.
Faith, Surrender, Obedience, Praying, and Studying the Scriptures every day are the distinguishing characteristics of the Christian believer whose heart is converted and devoted to God.
We are covered by God’s protection from the enemy’s deception when we agree to accept His plans for our lives. The uncomfortable feeling that you have inside when faced with a too good to be true offer is the Holy Spirit warning us of deception.
In Jeremiah 29:11, God tells us that He has plans for our lives. We often complain when things do not go according to our wishes, but have we ever considered that God rarely has the opportunity to fulfill His plans for our lives?
“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear [reverence] Him, And delivers them” (Psalm 34:7). Yes, God loves saints and sinners, but His promises are conditional on obedience to His Sovereign Authority. We cannot live in opposition to God’s plans and expect to receive His blessings.
If you are chasing prosperity, pleasure, politics, and your desires, then you are not seeking God’s will, and are not in right standing with God. Yes, your mind has been conquered by Satan. We cannot join Satan’s diabolical army For worse was trinkets over our reward of eternal life that Jesus died on the cross to give us.
Surrender and faithful obedience to God immediately releases Satan’s stronghold on our minds. Jesus provides us with definitive guidelines for God’s Righteous Principles in Matthew chapter 6.
2 Timothy 3 describes the Perilous Times we are living in right now.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:1-2).
Jesus is in the Heavenly Sanctuary waiting to come again and receive us to live a Forever Life with Him. Hallelujah! Yes and Amen!
Bible Study: John 14:1-3
Lord God, we pray for those in the Christian Community who are deceived by Satan to pursue worthless treasures and embrace world views that oppose Your Righteousness. Help us to desire your perfect plans, which includes Eternal Life in the New Heaven and New Earth. In Jesus’ Righteous Name, we pray Amen.

“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). Praise and Worship is a daily personal experience magnifying the Lord and rejoicing in His goodness.
Separating ourselves from the noise of distractions is the only way we can enter the presence of a Holy God, and receive a blessing of wisdom, discernment, and strength.
Lord God, we worship Your Holy Name, and honor You through surrender and faithful obedience. In Jesus’ Holy Name, Hallelujah and Amen!

King Jehoshaphat’s Prayer
“Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord…and said: ‘O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? ‘” (2 Chronicles 20:5-6).
God’s Answer: “And he said, ‘Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s'” (2 Chronicles 20:15).
“You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you” (2 Chronicles 20:17).
Yesterday, God revealed that He is Faithful, Sovereign, Powerful, and His promise to resolve, and bring completion to impossible situations is exactly what He does for the righteous who put their faith in Him.
God resolved a complex situation yesterday that brought me to my knees in awe and reverence of His Love and Power! When we place our faith and trust in our Heavenly Father and Warrior God, He gives us victory!
God brought me to a Spiritual Crossroads in which I had to decide whether or not, I would place my life, faith, and trust in His hands. I chose God by renewing my covenant of consecration to faithfully obey and trust Him.
Only trust Him! His Banner Over Us Is Love!
Yahweh Nissi “This name…signifies God’s presence and guidance as a banner, ensuring protection and victory in times of conflict.”
Lord God, Great is your Faithfulness. Thank you for being the Warrior God of today, tomorrow, and forever, who promises to protect and fight for us when we place our faith in You. Thank you for revealing your love and protection for those who run to You for help. With love and surrender, we bow our knees to your Sovereign Authority. In Jesus’ Righteous and Powerful Name, we pray, Amen.

Jesus proclaims that He is the Lord of the Sabbath which implies that He is also God, the Creator of the Sabbath. Study Genesis.
God, Jesus, and the angels celebrated with Adam and Eve in worship on the first Creation Day Sabbath. We honor the Seventh Day as the Sabbath because God commanded us to honor the day that He sanctified and blessed.
Human wisdom says God changed the Sabbath, sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, to Sunday. But the Bible gives us the Plain Truth and there is not one inspired Scripture to substantiate this human speculation.
My Testimony: At the age of 15, the Holy Spirit told me to honor the Sabbath commandment. I am trusting God’s Spoken Words in the Bible because my reward of Eternal Life is too precious for me to play the Game of Chance and follow human interpretation. It just doesn’t make sense that God would keep nine of the Ten Commandments and only change the Fourth Commandment.
“Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the LORD’s holy day. Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day, and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly. Then the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob. I, the LORD, have spoken!” (Isaiah 55:13-14, NLT).
Lord God, we thank You for blessing us with 24 hours to worship You in spirit and truth. We ask for the anointing, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit as we study your Holy Words. We ask you to bless us with wisdom and discernment, and to refresh us mentally, emotionally, physically, and most importantly, spiritually. In Jesus Righteous Name, Amen.

When we are unsure of how God wants us to use our spiritual gifts and talents, we can always pray for others. On social media, countless people are asking for prayers due to the death of their newborn babies, family members attempting suicide, receiving cancer diagnosis, depression, and so much more.
It is not enough to post, “I am praying for you.” We should always post a short, heartfelt prayer. When we pray for others the Holy Spirit responds by comforting and providing direction, and strength to the individuals who desperately need a healing touch from God.
Praying for others also invites the Holy Spirit to bless us with spiritual strength, wisdom, peace, and direction as we navigate through life
The Apostle Paul’s Prayer
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:14-19). Peace and Blessings.
Lord God, we ask You to remove our stony hearts, and to replace them with hearts filled with love and compassion for those who are hurting mentally, emotionally, physically, but most importantly teach us to pray for their spiritual well-being. In Jesus’ Loving and Holy Name we pray, Amen.

As I looked at this spectacular, and most beautiful sunset photo taken by one of Brevard County’s nature photographers, the Sun radiates the Light of Christ, and reveals His overwhelming love for humanity.
Only from Agape love can a heavenly star exist that rises and sets in obedience to its Creator. The Sun is both Perfect Beauty and Multifunctional providing the light, heat, and energy necessary for every living creation to thrive.
“The Sun’s primary function is to radiate light and heat, providing the energy that fuels life on Earth. It drives photosynthesis in plants, which are essential for the food chain and the production of oxygen. Without the Sun’s energy, Earth would be too cold to support life.”
Jesus, our Triumphant King, we thank You for loving us. We bow to Your Excellence, and we praise Your Holy Name. Lord, bless us with wisdom, strength, and peace as we celebrate the Sabbath. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to enter into Your rest every week. Amen and Amen.
