A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinthians 15:55 The sting of death is sin; thank God, Jesus is our victory
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law, but thanks be unto God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as we know that our labor will not be in vain. In the Lord, the Greek word for victory is Nikos, meaning conquest.
The sting of death is sin; thank God, Jesus is our victory. The rapture of the church shall take place in the twinkling of an eye; at the last trump, the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. This is the victory that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ, for all those that have faith in the Lord will be changed into His glorious body. And we shall be like Him. Therefore my beloved brethren be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as we know that our labor will not be in vain. So let us rejoice in the Lord and the power of His might, and let us put on the whole armor of God, so that we can stand in the day of temptation.
#And the LORD God said it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a help meet for him. Genesis 2:18 Marriage is good in the Lord
And the LORD God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it, and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle. And to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh thereof instead; The Hebrew word for help meet is Ezer, meaning aid.
Marriage is good in the Lord. Jehovah God made Adam to not be alone, so the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed the flesh thereof. This is when God formed the woman to be the help meet for Adam. She was called born of my flesh. This is the beauty of marriage, that whom the Lord hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Adam had a job before he got married, which tells man that he must have a job to take care of his wife. The wife was designed to cling unto her husband, and Adam must love Eve as Jesus loves the Church, and gave himself for her. When marriage is done this way, it is good in the Lord.
Marriage is good in the Lord, and let not man put them asunder that God hath joined together. God formed marriage to give man the help meet that he needed, and let a man leave his father and mother and cling unto his wife. When marriage is done this way, it is beautiful in the eyes of the Lord. It is my prayer that if you are looking for a spouse, that you will wait on the Lord. For he that finds a good wife hath favor in the Lord.
#When the Son of man shall come in His glory and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: Matthew 25:31. We shall behold Him in all of His glory
Take therefore the talent from him and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto everyone that hath shall be given. And he shall have abundance, but from him that hath not shall be taken away, even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And before Him shall be gathered all nations, and He shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats, and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto him on the right hand, Come ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. The Greek word for angels is Aggelos, meaning a messenger.
We shall behold Him in all of His glory. We must use our talents for the glory of God, for when the Lord Jesus returns, He shall separate the sheep from the goats. The one that hath no talents shall be given to him that hath ten talents. For unto everyone that hath shall be given. And he shall have abundance. Then He will cast that unprofitable servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them as the sheep from the goats. All those nations that were unkind to the nation of Israel will be the goats. The King shall say unto them on the right hand, Come ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
We shall behold Him in all His glory, so let us work while it is day, for when the night comes, no man can work. Be a witness for Him, for we must carry this gospel unto the ends of the world. And when we see Jesus, we shall be just like Him, fashioned like unto Him in all of His glory. What a blessing this will be, for we will know as we are known. So rejoice in the Lord, and again I say, rejoice.
#And there shall be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexities, the sea and the waves roaring. Luke 21:25 The weather patterns are changing
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. For there shall be great distress in the land. And wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming on a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. The Greek word for roaring is Echeo, meaning a loud noise, i.e., reverberating.
The weather patterns are changing; with El Niño, the Pacific Ocean is busy with hurricanes and tropical storms. Hawaii is once again in the path of a direct hit by Lowell, and the Atlantic Ocean is silent. Climate change is causing all these effects. The Pundits do not want to admit this, but these are the perplexities that Jesus warned about in the Mount Olivet Discourse. The sea and the waves would be roaring. Southern California is getting hit with a massive storm surge. For the powers of heaven are shaken, and then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Jesus told us, when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. We praise God for the blessed hope of the Church, and we must warn others to repent and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because men's hearts will be failing them for fear and looking after those things which are coming upon the earth. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house. It is my prayer that you will heed the warning and repent while there is time. Women should be thoughtful about having babies right now because of the signs of the times. The times of the Gentiles will end when Jesus returns to set up His kingdom on the earth.
#And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the Lilies of the field: how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. Matthew 6:28. Happy Labor Day
Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body what ye shall put on, is not the life more than meat and the body more than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: they sow not, neither do they reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature? And yet I say unto you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so clothed the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought saying what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed? The Greek word for raiment is Enduma, meaning apparel or clothing.
Thank the Lord that He feeds the birds, and they do not sow or reap. I had been feeding the birds seed, but the squirrels and now the chickens have taken over eating the bird seed. So I will continue to let the Lord feed them. As I think about this, it reminds me how much greater we are to our heavenly Father to take care of us. I have to stop worrying about what I shall eat, drink, or wear, for the Lord knows I have need of all these things. So I have learned to be content in whatsoever state I am in, whether abased or abounding. The Lord will make a way for me, and as the grass I will wither away, and the Lord will call me home to forever be with Him. What a blessing this will be, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. For to live is Christ and to die is gain. Let not your heart be troubled, for ye believe in God, believe also in Jesus. For in the Father's house are many mansions, and if it were not so He would have told us. Jesus is preparing a place for us, so that where He is we shall be there also.
#And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house. Acts 16:31: Believe in Jesus Christ
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and they all sprang in and came trembling and fell down before Paul and Silas. And brought them out and said, " Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they spake unto him the word of the Lord and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes and was baptized, he and all his straigthway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them and rejoiced believing in God with all his house. The Greek word for house is Oikos, meaning a dwelling place.
Believe in Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Paul and Silas had a praise and worship meeting in the prison, and the Lord sent a great earthquake, and it shook the prison, and the men cried out What must I do to be saved? Paul told him Do thyself no harm, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house. So he was baptized, and they ate meat together, rejoicing in the Lord. What a blessing this was, and it tells us that no matter how bad the situation is, God can save us, and we must cry out before Him. Lord, save me. Just as Peter cried out after walking on the water, and then seeing the waves begin to sink, and cried out Lord Save me, and the Lord Jesus Christ reached out and grasped him by the hand and pulled him up from the water. Today is the Lord's Day, so go to church and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. For we serve a risen Savior who is in the world today, calling out a people for His name.
#I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work. John 9:4: Work while it is day
And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from his birth, and His disciples asked His Master, who did sin him or his parents that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents. But that the works of God should be made manifest in him. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When He had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And said unto him, Go and wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation Sent). He went his way and washed; therefore he came seeing. The Greek word for work is Ergazomai, meaning to toil.
Work while it is day, for when the night comes no man can work. Jesus told the disciples that the man who was born blind, neither he nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God could be revealed. We must be about our Father's business, for night is when the end of the world comes. Therefore, we must be about our Father's business as the Lord Jesus was doing. I want to be found working when the Lord returns to take us to heaven. No time to be lazy or lackadaisical. May the Lord so inspire us to work in the daytime while we can see where to walk. Praise God, the blind man did everything that the Lord Jesus told him to do, so he washed in the pool of Siloam and came seeing. We must obey God, and let all men be doers of the word, and not hearers only. So let us wash in the blood of Jesus so that all our sins will be cleansed, and we will be filled with His righteousness.
#But the anointing which you have received of Him abideth in you, and you need not that any man teach you, but as that the same anointing teaches you all things, and is truth, and no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. 1 John 2:27 Receive the anointing
Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life. The Greek word for abide is Meno, meaning to remain.
Receive the anointing. John the apostle has written these things so that we can know that we have eternal life. So abide in Him, and the Son, and the Father, and the Holy Spirit shall direct you on the path of life. It is time to let the anointing break the yoke that has held you back. My little children, receive ye the holy Spirit, and you shall have the anointing. And when He appears, you will not be ashamed of Him. Walk in the light as He is in the Light, and the blood of Jesus shall cleanse you of all sin.
Receive the anointing so that these chains can be broken and you can walk in fullness of joy and peace. Live at peace with all men as much as possible, and let the anointing direct your pathway. Jesus is the Light of the world, and those that follow Him shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of men directing them. It is my prayer that you will fulfill your anointing and allow the Holy Spirit to control you, and grieve not the Spirit by which you have been sealed. This anointing that teaches you all things is truth, and no lie. So speak the truth with your neighbors. May the God of all comfort console you and lead you to eternal life in Jesus Christ.
#These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 1 John 2:26 Love not the world, for all that is in the world is lust
Whosoever denieth the Son the same hath not the Father (but) he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you. which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son and the Father. And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life. But the anointing that ye have received in him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is the truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. And now little children abide in Him, that when He shall appear we shall have confidence and not have shame before Him at His coming. If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of Him. The Greek word for seduce is Planao, meaning to stray from the straight path.
Love not the world, for all that is in the world is the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. He that doeth the will of God shall abide forever. So be careful who you associate with, for bad companions corrupt good character. But the anointing that ye have received in Him shall abide in you as I have taught you. Now little children abide in Him so that when He shall appear we shall have confidence and not have shame before Him at His coming. Judge yourselves so that ye will not be judged. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus who thought it not robbery to be equal with God and made Himself of no reputation, but humbled Himself to death on the cross. Now He is highly exalted at the right hand of the Father interceding for you and me. Be at peace with all men and walk in holiness, for without holiness no man shall see God. So abide in Him and walk in righteousness, and you will be ready at His coming for you.
#We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brethren abides in death. 1 John 3:14. We have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brethren abides in death
For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not my brethren if the world hates you. Whoso hates his brother is a murderer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God because he laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's goods and sees his brother has need and he shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? The Greek word for love is Agapao, meaning unconditional social good with bowels of compassion.
We have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. To not love your brother is to abide in death. As Cain hated Abel, and slew him, because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous. How can you see your brethren have needs, and shut up your bowels of compassion from him? How can the love of God dwell in him? No murderer has eternal life. It is possible to repent of your sins, and stop hanging your brethren by the tree branches. Love does no evil to his brethren. Pray to God to create in me a clean heart and renew a stedfast spirit in me. Restore unto me the joy of the Lord. Love is kind, love is good, love is the only way that we can have brotherhood. May the Lord teach us to lay down our lives for the brethren. This is how we prove that we are the children of God. This may seem redundant, but love is that way, so pray to God to give you that kind of love.
