“Alas Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t do that! I’m far too young! I’m only a youth!” “Don’t say that” He replied, “for you will go wherever I send you and speak whatever I tell you to. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I, the Lord, will be with you and see you through.” Jeremiah 1:6-7

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and  He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33And He will set the  sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father,  inherit the kingdom  prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;  I was a stranger and...

The Parable of the Bags of Gold

¹⁴ “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. ¹⁵ To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,^[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. ¹⁶ The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. ¹⁷ So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. ¹⁸ But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

¹⁹ “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. ^...

“God loves you very much,” he said; “don’t be afraid! Calm yourself; be strong – yes, strong!” Daniel 10:19

“Calm yourself.” Be pro-active. Speak the will of God to yourself! “The word of God is nigh thee, even in your mouth.” Romans 10:8-10, Deuteronomy 30:14. Speak to yourself. Speak over yourself. Bless yourself with “thus saith the Lord.” God loves me very much. God is for me. God is with me. I am not afraid. I cannot fail, God is my source.

When Faith Abounds - Final Episode

HEBREWS 11

The Power of Bold Faith
1Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. 2This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. 3Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.

4Faith moved Abel to choose a more acceptable sacrifice to offer God than his brother Cain, and God declared him righteous because of his offering of faith. By his faith, Abel still speaks instruction to us today, even though he is long dead.

5Faith translated Enoch from this life and he was taken up into heaven! He never had to experience death; he just disappeared from this world because God promoted him. For before he was translated to the heavenly realm his life had...

“…the one who truly loves a fellow believer lives in the light, and there is nothing in Him that will cause someone else to stumble. But whoever hates a fellow believer lives in the darkness – stumbling around in the dark with no clue where he is going, for he is blinded by the darkness.” I John 2:10-11

“God so loved…that He gave His only begoken Son.” John 3:16 The selfless act of God’s love to reach you required Him to be separated from His Son. It required Jesus to be separated from His Father, endure the agony of a humiliating death and the ultimate shame of going to hell…in your place. He was without sin; but became your sin. Your love for Jesus and knowing what He demonstrated for you gives you the...
