There can be no deeper life until there has been life. There can be no progress in the way until we are in the way. All the efforts toward a deeper life will only bring disappointment unless we have settled the matter of repentance from dead works and the forgiveness of sins.
Beloved,
Let's join in heart
Let's ask God for an encouraging voice in a discouraging world.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1Ti 4:15-16

Good morning, Sister Rhonda 🌿🕊🌹
🎼"When We All Get To Heaven"🎼
🙏🏾Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before Your throne of grace with thankful hearts. As we worship today, open our ears to hear Your Word and fill our hearts as we sing and make melody unto You. Lord, as we partake of Communion, help us remember the death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. May our giving be cheerful and pleasing in Your sight, according as You have prospered each heart. Clothe us with the whole armor of God and the breastplate of righteousness. Help us to be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. May we be crucified with Christ, that His life may be seen in us. Let us be examples of good works, integrity, sincerity, love, and longsuffering. Father, help us forget those things which are behind and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. As we worship, may we seek not to impress others, but to glorify You alone, for You are worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Lord, let no root of bitterness, offense, or division dwell among us. Unite us in one spirit and one mind as we lift up holy hands in worship. May our hearts be fixed on heavenly things, walking in love, grace, humility, and obedience to Your will. Strengthen us to be doers of Your Word and faithful witnesses of Your goodness wherever You lead us. Bless this service, bless Your people, and bless Your Word today. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏🏾

Did you know that your great sin is that the all-pervading Presence is here, and you can't feel Him. The Light shines and you can't see it. There is a Voice and you can't hear it. He was in the world and the world knew Him not. That, my friend, is a curse.

Our #focus on this right here👇
The enemies of our inner life are those forces that want to scatter our thoughts by focusing our attention on external things. These enemies are the various desires that seek to distract our concentration by causing our thoughts to cling to outward things, things that will pass away.
This is perdition: the things to which the heart was attached pass away while the person himself, who is an eternal being, is filled with nothing but emptiness when he should have been filled with God Himself.
That is why it is so very important that we allow God to draw our minds away from everything that is external—the things that will pass away—and turn our focus inward to the source of life that lives forever, even as we ourselves will live forever.
Then joy and unspeakable peace can fill us, beginning in this time of corruptibility and continuing into the unknown eternities. May the Lord enable us for this.

One of the clearest indications that the Lord’s return is near is the ever-growing apathy and indifference toward His coming.
Yeshua warned that He would return when He is least expected:
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Matthew 24:44
We must be ready because, when He comes, there will be no time left to get ready. Learn this lesson from the foolish virgins. While they went to prepare, the Bridegroom arrived, the wise entered with Him, and the door was shut.
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
Matthew 25:13
Do not allow the world’s apathy to extinguish your expectancy. Stay awake. Keep your lamp burning. Be ready!
Awaiting His Very Soon Return ,

When we learn to trust in God’s plan, even when we don’t fully understand it, we find a peace that surpasses all earthly knowledge. It is the peace that comes from knowing that God is in control and that He will never fail us. Trust is the key that unlocks this peace.
Unbelief is the seed of all inner turmoil. When we stop trusting God, when we doubt His goodness or His power, we open the door to anxiety, fear, and confusion. When we disconnect from God through unbelief, the light of peace goes out. —A.W. Tozer tozertalks.com/tozer-talks-2…

Self-righteousness is one of the most dangerous sins because it blinds the soul to its need for God. The Pharisees thought themselves superior because of their religious observance. But before God their pride and arrogance were more offensive than the sins of those they despised.

Jesus knew that no one could harm Him until His appointed hour had come. He walked with the knowledge that His Father’s plan was unfolding exactly as it should. We too can live with that same confidence, knowing no harm can come to us outside of His sovereign will. —A.W. Tozer

Goodness acts as a shield for the believer. A man of God, walking in the Spirit, is surrounded by divine protection. Like Job, only what God allows can touch him. There is a power in righteousness that protects the soul from the full force of the enemy’s attacks. —A.W. Tozer
1 John 2: 24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived.

Explains eternal life
John 17:
3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

Worship is not confined to the walls of a church, nor is it limited to songs or sermons. True worship is when we take up the towel and basin, like Jesus did, and serve others in humility. This is the kind of worship that pleases God—worship that leads to action. —A.W. Tozer
