Going through the Bible a chapter a day.

Using my Bible to share this photo taken above.

Verses 2-8 to take note that even though Abraham has servants that could simply serve the three visitors he took it upon himself to do and serve the very best that he had.

Verse 12 when Sarah laughs it is because of her unblief thinking she is too old for the Lord to work a miracle for her to conceive a child. Yet she did come to give birth to a son. Which we will see later in the on in Genesis 21 the birth of Isaac.

Verses 23-33 is where Abraham intercedes on behalf of the righteous that may be found in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Just imagen if all Christians around the world cried out for their country or city and to see a great awakening within their land to see lives be saved instead of lost what an amazing thing to behold such a thing.

Verses 22-33 is the first time you see man initiate a conversation with God. Remember these cities are where Abraham’s nephew Lot has settled.

There is either an outcry of injutice and violence within those cities or they have simply rebelled against God. God has a plan for those two cities.

I shared these two songs with you in hopes you will make your belief in Him real snd ask Him to show you it is real. To let you know I beleive what the scriptures say. It isn’t a church, or my family or religion that makes my belief will. It is my believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and that He came to die for my sins at the cross and He rose again 3 days later. This is my belief.

What is your belief?

God bless you and your loved ones.

31 Days Of Healing & Recovery

Day 18:

Mark 5:1-15 KJV
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Proverbs 14:30 KJV
A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 3:7-8 KJV
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Day 17:

Mark 5:25-34 KJV
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Mark 6:56 KJV
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Mark 3:10-11 KJV
For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

In chapter 16 you see the lack of faith both Sarai and Abram had in God.

Sarai had yet to have a child and isntead of waiting on the Lord she took matters in her own hand. She gave her husband Hagar a handmaid (servant) to her husband to lay with to bare a child.

Abram listened to his wife and obeyed her command to lay with Hagar. He didn’t seek out God or say no but simply listened to his wife. He submitted to her and doing as she asked.

My bible says for verses: 1-6 Ancient documents reveal that when a woman could not provide her husband with a child, she could give her female slave as a wife and claim the child a union as her own. While Hagar is not on equal standing with Sarai, her status does change when she becomes a slave wife. If she produces the heir, she could be the primary wife in the eyes of society. According to verses 4-5, in Hagar’s opinion Sarai had been demoted. The Hebrew word translated despised means “to be treated lightly or with contempt.”

Often times we want to take matters into our own hands and not wait on the Lord. When we do that we face with the consequences of our actions. So trust and wait on the Lord and His timing.

There is much that has come to be since Sarai and Abram not waiting and trusting in God but taking matters into their own hand and Hagar giving birth to Ishmael.

Ishmael you will see later on in Genesis, he had twelve sons, who became the founders of so many Arab tribes or colonies, the Ishmaelites, who spread over the wide desert spaces of Northern Arabia from the Red Sea to the Euphrates (Genesis 37:25, 27, 28; 39:1), “their hand against every man, and every man’s hand against them.” (The King James Bible Dictionary).

One choice can change everything. It takes but one decision and your life is changed forever. I’ve come to be more aware of how things could have been if things went a different way and yet it all was meant to be the way it was. It is why you cannot go backwards in time to change it.

For instance the attack on Pearl Harbor could have taken more lives if there were more men on board, seeing as it was Sunday most of the men were at church less lives where taken that day. That does not mean it was okay for the other lives to be taken only that if another day was chosen where the men where not at church then the fleet and all its men could have been lost. One choice one decision one course can could have changed the outcome of what happen that day. Gettysburg Stone Wall Jackson of the Southern Army was killed 3 days before Gettysburg. Joshua Chamberlain of the Northern Army was at Gettysburg and afterwards the battle there they were sent to Little Round top to rest from the battle that had just taken place at Gettysburg. They had no idea the south was going to send troops through Little Round top. So what men he had left he charged down the mountain to defend it. They had to hold their ground for if they didn’t it would be over and the south would win.

Small moments of time might not seem like they matter but they do. Each time something took place it could have all ended up different if one thing had been different. Next time you feel discouraged remember to wait and have faith and trust in the Lord and His timing for you. He wants to give you abundance and be all you need but you have to surrender to Him first. It’s His will for you not what your will be by making it for yourself.

Will you let Him be in charge of your life or will you be like Sarai and Arbam and take matter into your own hands?

God bless you and your family.

31 Days Of Healing & Recovery

Day 16:

Mark 5:21-43 KJV
And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Matthew 19:26 KJV
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Isaiah 41:13 KJV
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Isaiah 26:3 KJV
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
