Psalm 91
What will you teach us?
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." (Proverbs 27:17 KJV)
What will the words and actions you express today teach us? We are always concerned with teaching people how to live not facing the inevitable truth in God's Word that it is, "appointed unto man once to die"!
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27 KJV)
A few months ago Richard Lewis was diagnosed with cancer but unlike the majority of people he seemed unscathed emotionally! In our society we would say, "He faced it like a man!" He knew that God could heal him but he also knew that we all will face death but we do not know the day nor the hour!!! Richard has maintained a peace that only God can give through this journey!! His life is being sustained by the mercy of medicine and God is more than able to resurrect him from the dead!!! If that doesn't happen, Richard Lewis will teach us how to die!!! It is a lesson in the realities of this sin cursed earth that we must all face!! So watch and learn how to walk through a door into eternity without ever batting an eye!! It's something you may need to know at any moment!!! PLEASE PRAY FOR THE RICHARD LEWIS FAMILY!!!

I forgave you….
I forgave you even though you never ask for forgiveness but I have no respect for you!! I don't trust you because that would be very unwise. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, relationships are just one sided. I've found out people can walk the same path but not be going the same way!! Some things in this life are not easy and impossible to understand!! ππΊπΈ

My Jesus!!
No path is untrodden by my Jesus, no darkness is to dark for my Jesus!! There is no evil so evil that His Name, His Blood and His Word cannot overcome!! In fact His Word says we should overcome evil with good!!! "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21 KJV)
When you feel the evil of this world closing in, just start THINKING ABOUT AND TALKING OUT LOUD ABOUT the Goodness and the Grace of my Savior, The LORD JESUS CHRIST!! He is our only HOPE and His Anchor holds fast….
"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,…." (Hebrews 6:19 KJV)
Yes Jesus loves me this I Know!!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 KJV)

The Sift is a Shift!!
When boys become Men, they act like Men!!!! They lead their families to God, they stand up for what is right and stand against what is wrong. They take their family to church on the Lord's Day, they don't send them, they take them!!! It's easy to play but life is not a game, it is the real thing. Time will tell if you are a boy or a man and as the old man said;
"Don't send a boy to do a Man's job!"
"Whose VOICE then SHOOK the earth: BUT NOW he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those THINGS THAT ARE SHAKEN as of things that are made, that THOSE THINGS WHICH CANNOT BE SHAKEN MAY REMAIN.
Wherefore we receiving A KINGDOM THAT CANNOT BE MOVED, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with REVERENCE and GODLY FEAR:
FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
(Hebrews 12:26-29 KJV)
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong."(1 Corinthians 16:13).

God never takes His Watchful Eye off us!!
"Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an HEDGE about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land."(Job 1:9-10 KJV)
"HEDGE"
"For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou COMPASS him as with a shield."(Psalms 5:12 KJV)
"COMPASS"
"The angel of the Lord ENCAMPETH round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."(Psalms 34:7 KJV)
"ENCAMPETH"
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my FORTRESS; my God; in him will I trust."(Psalms 91:2 KJV)
"FORTRESS"
"Behold, I have GRAVEN thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." (Graven > "As if to engrave in stone")(Isaiah 49:16 KJV)
"GRAVEN"
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my FATHER's HAND."(John 10:28-29 KJV)

Your Darkest Hour.....
If you are in your darkest hour then you have already questioned my initial statement because you are more than certain that I'm wrong and you are not going to make it through this one....not this time….It is just one past too many….
You feel alone because you are alone, humanly speaking, no one and I mean no one can help you but Jesus Christ!! I am more than certain that Joseph, Moses, David, Daniel, etc… would agree with my statements!
Please be advised that satan knows your name, he knows you well....it is because of that very fact I can tell you without any doubt that if satan knows you then God knows you because He is your Heavenly Father!! He has washed you in the Blood of His Son and the Holy Spirit dwells within you by which you are baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire!!
There was an altercation with satan in Acts 19:15. The evil spirit spoke..."Jesus I know and Paul I know but WHO ARE YOU?" That's a great question, "Who are you?"
Believe it or not but there are those that are so complacent concerning spiritual matters that they never even disturb our enemy enough to get his attention. Trust me if you have his attention, you have God's attention!!!
You are extremely valuable to God for many reasons but the foundational reason is He gave His Son for YOU! Therefore you actually have a purpose! You are not just randomly and aimlessly bouncing down the road. Everything in your life is pushing you to the most powerful day's of your life!!
So stay suited up in the Armor of God, Keep the Word in your mind and mouth!! You will still be standing when this is over, satan will be under your feet and you will be MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!
"Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8:37)
"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." (Romans 16:20 KJV)

Weak and Weary today??
(2 Corinthians 12:9)
"I will glory in my weakness"! The areas of my life that I can't possibly fix, so I MUST lean on Jesus!!! I have no other choice because I just can't deal with this alone so I MUST LEAN ON JESUS!! But, WHAT ABOUT OUR STRENGTHS, the areas that we have under control, our gifts, our strong points, etc.... We have heard all of our lives that the devil hits us in our weak areas but Jesus has got those areas covered!!! According to this verse God's Strength is made Perfect our Weakness! Does it not….
What if we feel so confident about our strengths, that we are so passionate in our strong areas that we self-destruct because we will push ourselves past the breaking point since we excell in certain areas?!!!
DO WE OVER-COMPENSATE in our strengths to hide our weak areas? We certainly want everyone to see the good not the bad.
I wonder, just maybe, that sometimes our strengths, due to the over-compensation factor, actually become our weaknesses!! Jesus has already died for the world, so you don't have to…. Don't let your passion burn you out!!! Stay balanced and Stay Strong!!! Stay with us because Jesus Loves You, me and Kari M. Boatner love you, there are people that love you but hadn't figured out how to show it yet BUT they will get it soon!! So Stay the Course!!

Don’t confuse Peter with Judas simply because they are both sitting…
THUS SAITH THE LORD;
Tomorrow is being decided Today!!
Chose your thoughts and words well, then let God hear your Faith come out of your mouth which will shake Heaven and Earth!! Speak to your mountain and tell it to be cast into the sea and you will have what you SAY!!!!
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things WHICH HE SAITH shall come to pass; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH!"

Life Detox!!!!
This will destroy your mental and physical health because you were not created to contain all of this stress, drama and negativity!! A good percentage of our toxicity comes from the people we have been around and are around on a daily basis.
Your home where you live, sleep and eat was not designed to store trash!! If you take the trash out of your home, it will be comfortable and smell fresh but if you don't take out the trash it will stink!!! Please notice that different types of trash has it's on distinct smell but it stinks and dominates the atmosphere just the same.... trash is trash and waste is waste……
An unpleasant odor will end the peace and comfort of the place of rest!! Your furniture will still be comfortable but due to an unpleasant annoying odor that you cannot even see will bring your comfort to an abrupt halt!!! You must find the source and remove it from the premises because now you cannot enjoy the Blessing of God simply because you have something in your home that doesn't belong. Your life is the same way!!
Ask God's Spirit to free you of people and experiences that create drama in your life. You must also FACE THE FACT that some people and some situations, you will not escape nor can you avoid every person that causes you stress!!!
THIS IS CALLED LIFE!!! If you use your God-Given Faith and God's Wisdom to DETOX YOUR LIFE you will have the strength and wisdom to deal with what you cannot change!!
"Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:" (Proverbs 2:11 KJV)
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 KJV)

"Keeping it simple in a complicated world"!!
1- There is only one Hero, His Name is Jesus! "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."(Exodus 20:3)
2- There is no such thing as a coincidence but rather the Providence of God! "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD:"(Psalm 37:23)
3- Let your words and actions be deliberate instead of random, positive instead of negative!! "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."(Proverbs 18:21)
4- Don't waste your energy on things that have no lasting value! One of your greatest assets is your strength, so if possible pick your battles, you will last longer. "The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge."(Psalm 46:7)
5- You are not defeated, just a temporary setback. You always win with Jesus! "WHEN I FALL, I SHALL ARISE"(Micah 7:8)
6- You weren't lucky today but Blessed with The Favor of God!
"IN HIS FAVOUR IS LIFE"(Proverbs 30:5)
7- LOVE ALL PEOPLE but be aware that all people do not love you nor God! "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."(Romans 16:17-18)
Peace, Love, Prosperity and Protection to all…. Psalm 91
