THOUGHTS:

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

   Inevitably, people will always have their own opinions and judgments about us. This was no different for Jesus, who faced constant criticism and insults from those around him. But despite the hurtful things that were said, he remained steadfast in his purpose and didn't let it deter him from his mission. Of course, Jesus may have had thicker skin than most of us, being the son of God, but we can still learn from his example. We cannot control what others say about us, but we can control how we react. Instead of letting their words bring us down, we must learn to ignore them and trust God to handle the situation. Just like Jesus, we must stay focused on our purpose and not allow the opinions of others to hinder us.

   Jesus didn’t let what they wanted to say bother him; I'm pretty sure they also said things about the disciples. Still, they didn’t let them bother them at all either, they continue to walk the way the lord wanted them to the verse today says it perfectly, we must serve God whether people honor or despise us that doesn’t matter, they can slander us or praise us we must serve the lord our God.

    Matthew 27:63 said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’

     Here’s another name they called him which is imposter, they didn’t believe he was said he was, because they were too afraid to admit he was the messiah they whether call him that then to admit he was who he was-and other people called him that too as they seen him, they called him a demon, they even called him sick 

•          Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household

•          Mark 3:21 When his family heard about this, they took charge of him, saying, “He is out of his mind.”

•          John 10:20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

      See they didn’t accept him, they wanted to call him everything but who he was and he didn’t let it stop him from being who he truly was and healing the sick and touching different people’s lives and that’s what we must do we can’t allow things to stop us from being who we are in him that’s why we must know our identify and who we are in him to keep us strong, a lot of people will come and go in out our life but we can’t keep them the ones that will stay will stay and the ones that will go will go but the main thing we must be focus on is our life with God and who he is with us, 

    1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and God rests upon you.

  We are blessed when we are insulted for the word of God, and yes, this is tough to see and understand while you're going through it, but if you accept this now, you will understand better and better as you go. The lord wants us to be strong. The word of God says not to be a coward, and yes, it’s hard to be strong when we are scared, but that’s when we move in him and not our life, that’s when we say Father I am scared, but I am moving in you! Father, I am scared, but I know you're there, and he will protect us through our moment of fear. 

   Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

   It says here that the faithless, cowardly, sexually immoral, there is a place in hell that burns for them. We can’t allow our emotions and sexual desires to run our lives. We can’t allow what we do to run our lives; we must walk in the power of God!  The power of God can move us through our problems when we allow it to. Jesus moved in his power, he didn’t let his fear run his life, he had no fear because he knew it was nothing they could do to him, and that’s the way we must think, nothing can happen to us unless the lord wills it. 

   2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control

 God has given us not fear! But of POWER AND LOVE SOME OF YOU ARE WALKING IN FEAR SOME OF YOU ARE WALKING IN DOUBT BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU MOVE IN LOVE AND POWER AND A SOUND MIND BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU!!!!

    Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man lies a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe

  People lay a trap for us but those who trust in God lays and walks in his safety we don’t have to worry about what man can do we don’t have to worry about the traps that man and Satan has for us because when we walk in God we walk in his safety! Some of you are afraid of what will happen tomorrow or you’re afraid of what is happening right now in your life. Still, God is saying Walk in me, and I will give you power, a sound mind, and safety no one can beat!! 

  *** Today, we delved into the topic of Jesus and how he was called by various names and was spoken to in different ways. Despite facing challenges and criticism, Jesus never backed down or showed fear. He walked with confidence and authority, setting an example for us to follow in our own lives. We must remember that our abilities come from God, and when we walk in his ways, we can tap into a mighty power within us. God is pleased when we are secure in our walk with him and seek him wholeheartedly. Some may struggle to believe in Jesus, while others may place more faith in their abilities. However, it is through God that we can truly reach our full potential.

   Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

   The lord will go with us wherever we are, and he won’t leave us alone by ourselves it might feel like we are alone or it might seem like it’s a lot but we must allow God to be in our lives and we must be strong and courageous so that he can go with us no matter what is happening, in our life. God will show us the way, but we must allow his spirit to order our steps through difficult times. If you're having problems or doubts, speak with him today and allow him to guide you through your problems.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

The lily

I lived in this season

Not so long ago

Being always open

To share beauty and light.

Exposed to realities unknown

Elements able to destroy and dim

Though the mind knew its risk

The spirit always hopeful

And the body - sacrificed.

The beauty of what lies within

Can never be hidden

Even if closed in darkness

Its purpose patiently waiting.

In time - It will spring forth

In time - Sweet melodies sing

In time - Your beauty revealed
