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.

#Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:6
The Hebrew word for power is Koach; for a small reptile. Or Kowach; from an unused root meaning to be firm, vigorous, or strong. What is the secret to the power of the Christian life? Zechariah asked Jehovah God of angel armies to answer this question, and then He spake unto me, saying the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the LORD of hosts. Not our muscle or intellect gives us victory in the Christian life, but the Spirit of God. We are told if we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. When the disciples asked Jesus when He would restore the kingdom unto Israel, He said it is not for you to know, but tarry ye here in Jerusalem until ye be endued with power on high. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and they began to speak in cloven tongues of fire, and these men turned the world upside down for Jesus. That is why we need a revival to come in these last days and for us to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and He shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shouting crying Grace, grace, unto it. Jesus is the head of the Corner on which the church is built, and He told Peter, that on this rock I shall build my church, and neither the gates of hell shall prevail against her. It is time for us to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus told Paul, my grace is sufficient for thee, my strength is made perfect in weakness. Paul said much rather will I glory in my weaknesses so that the power of Christ remains on me.
#Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5
The Greek word for imaginations is Logismos; for reasoning, a thought; Logizomai; for computation, i.e. (figuratively) reasoning (conscience, conceit) to reckon, to consider. Middle voice from Logos; to take an inventory, i.e. Estimate, conclude, despise, esteem, impute, and suppose. Logos; the Divine Expression (i.e. Christ) Luke 24:17 And He said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit can read our minds and bring our reasoning and every thought to the obedience of Christ. We must submit to God, and resist the devil. This is how we win in spiritual warfare. And they talked together of all those things which had happened. And it came to pass, that while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. Jesus wanted to teach them all that the prophets had foretold of the resurrection. And one of them whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto Him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass in these days? Jesus told them beginning in the Psalms of all the prophets told them of things about His resurrection. Then the men said did not our hearts burn within us as He talked with us along the way? When we speak with Jesus, He makes all things right. So come away and spend some time with Jesus studying His word, so that you can grow in the faith, and be victorious in your Christian life. Have a strong prayer life, so that the Holy Spirit can have His way with you, and take the things of Christ and make them real to you. When you commune with Jesus, He will not be a stranger to you. Jesus said to search the scriptures, for these are they that testify of Me. It is my prayer that you will accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord & Savior, and be baptized. Find a local church that preaches the Word of God and fellowship with them.
#Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
The Greek word for wiles is Methodeia; for craft, deceit, scheming, and trickery. From a compound of Meta and Hodeuo (compare method); traveling over, i.e., Travesty (trickery) wiles, lying in wait. We as Christians are in warfare, and it is not against flesh and blood. Humans are not our enemies. It is spiritual wickedness in high places. This is the method of the devil, that old serpent who wars against us. We must put on the whole armor of God to stand against all the wiles or Methodeia of the devil. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. The truth holds up the child of God against all the lies of the devil. Christ was delivered for our offenses and we are justified in the Lord Jesus Christ. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds. That is why Paul tells the believers to be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. The shield of faith is the defense weapon that withstands all the fiery darts of the enemy. Faith is our victory over this world, and when we walk by faith we keep all the fiery darts of the devil away from us. Then prayer for all the saints is the offensive weapon to hold up our brethren against all the attacks of the devil. In the ministry, you must use prayer, and the helmet of salvation to protect our minds in the Lord Jesus Christ. I was always comforted when I was told by other believers that they were praying for me. The sword of the Spirit is our greatest offensive weapon we must use the sword for a hand-to-hand battle with the devil. When Satan tempted the Lord Jesus in the wilderness forty days He used the Rehma word, which is the sword of the Spirit, and said it is written, and defeated the devil every time. Study to show thyself a workman approved unto God who needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of God.
#For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22
The Greek word for travaileth is Synodino; for to be in travail together. We thank God for the grace to endure the sufferings together, and encourage one another in the faith. Hebrews 11 is the Hall of Fame of Faith. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Women received they're dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection: and other had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stones, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in the mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And all these having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us, should not be made perfect. Thank God that one day Jesus is going to wipe away all our tears, for there will be no more pain, no more sorrow, for the former things will be passed away. And we will all receive our incorruptible crowns to throw at the feet of Jesus singing Amazing Grace that saved a sinner like me. No more climate change, for the Lord God, will be our sun and the light of the world. So do not complain about your sufferings, just travail together with us, and give God all the glory.
#For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
We can count it all joy when we fall into diverse trials and tribulations knowing that the trying of our faith produces patience for the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. So we can be sure God is making us look just like Jesus and when we shall come forth, as Job said as pure gold. Thank God for your troubles and do not complain. The Greek word for workmanship is Poema; for masterpiece. We are the masterpieces of the Lord and we show forth His glory when we suffer for His name sake. Paul called these light and momentary afflictions that we go through are working a far more exceeding work of glory in us. So thank the Lord that He counts us worthy to suffer for His name's sake.
#Let him that stole steal no more but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Ephesians 4:28
The Greek word for steal is Klepto; A primary verb to filch. Leviticus 19:11 Ye shall not steal, either deal falsely, neither tell lies one to another. 1 Samuel 12:3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you. Jesus commended Zacchaeus Luke 19:8 and Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. Stealing is the one commandment once broken, you must repent and make restitution. That is why the Lord Jesus commended Zacchaeus for restoring what he had defrauding others of, and giving to the poor. Tax collectors were hated for defrauding the people, and Jesus told Zacchaeus to come down from the tree and to have dinner with Him. Jesus paid His taxes and did not owe any as a Son of King David. We can learn how to please God, that is why Paul told the Ephesians not to steal, but rather to work with their hands, the thing that is good, so they could give to the poor. If your job requires you to lie and steal from others to make a profit, then you need to leave that job and find one that will allow you to make an honest occupation. All work is profitable, but the folding of the hands leads to poverty. Consider the ant that stores up in the summer for the winter. We must save and have an emergency fund so that we can give and meet our needs. God is a buckler for the poor, and He will fight for them. Let those who are taking advantage of the wildfires in California know that they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The thief on the cross, repented of his sins, by asking Jesus to remember me, when you come into your kingdom. Jesus said this day, shalt thou be with Me in Paradise. Acknowledge your sin, and turn away from it, and the blood of Jesus will blot out all your transgressions. So if you are scamming people, repent of this sin and restore fourfold, so that salvation will come unto your household as it did for Zacchaeus.
#Why art thou cast down O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. Psalm 42:5
The Hebrew word for countenance is Panim or Paneh; for the face or faces. It can be plural or singular. The Psalmist is asking two great questions and Jehovah God has the answers. Hope thou in God. People facing mental illness often feel hopeless and without help. I tell them this Psalm is one of the greatest to turn to when you feel this way. It has helped me to overcome depression and loneliness. We are often misunderstood, and not accommodated. They would rather just put us in a mental hospital and give us more medication than we need, and all we need is to be loved and cared for. God loves us with everlasting love and sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins. Psalm 69 is about the suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ and how He felt like an alien, and a stranger to His mother's children. For He was despised and rejected a man of sorrows and acquainted with our grief. That is why He is now seated in the heavens making intercession for us at the Father's right hand. So hope thou in God, no matter how you feel, or where you find yourself. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I am gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept the holyday. This is how we overcome by waiting on God with the multitude in the house of God. The Psalmist in 73 said my feet had well nigh slipped when I thought of the prosperity of the wicked, then I went to the sanctuary of God and saw their end. Wait I say on the Lord and look to His face for consolation. He is our help and our consolation in all our troubles. Give thanks unto God for delivering your feet from stumbling. Praise God at the midnight hour, and sing hymns unto Him. For He alone is holy and righteous and will satisfy our every longing. King David said for I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. What a promise and what a great hope to have. Pray for all those who lost homes in the Palisades wildfires in California. Be willing to give to the Red Cross to help them.
#Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain Psalm 76:10
The Hebrew word for wrath; is Chemah; for rage, anger, poison, hot displeasure, furiously, from Yacham; for heat and to conceive. Psalm 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. King David was angry after Nathan told him the story of the rich man taking the poor man's lamb, and Nathan said thou art the man, Then David was contrite and prayed for the Lord to purge me with the hyssop, which speaks of the blood of Jesus. How God causes man's wrath to praise Him, and then He restrains the remainder of wrath. We wonder why evil men prosper and seem to get away with defrauding others. God has appointed a day when He will judge all mankind by that Man Christ Jesus. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. We must do as King David and throw ourselves on the mercy of God. God's mercy is everlasting, and His anger is only for a moment. So let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, for He turns the evils into good for all those who love Him, and are called according to His purpose. Just rejoice in the Lord always, and give thanks in all things, for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. It is my prayer that you will come to faith in the Lord today, and call upon Him. For God's patience will not last forever. When you hear His voice harken, and turn away from your sins and cling to the cross. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Create in me a clean heart, and restore the right spirit in me.
#And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:25,26
The Greek word for signs is Semeion; for a sign, a token, a miracle, and a wonder. Universally, that by which a person or thing is distinguished from others and known. We are seeing climate change cause extreme weather conditions with the Polar Vortex in the Midwestern and Eastern Gulf coast causing cold weather. Fires in the West cost with the Santa Anna winds blowing over 100 mph burning homes and buildings. This is causing firefighters to have to work around the clock trying to put out the fires. Then 2024 was the hottest temperature on record, more PBS for a particularly bad situation. Just as Jesus said it would be on the Mount Olivet discourse when the disciples asked Him what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world. Jesus said there shall be wars, and earthquakes in diverse places, famines, pestilences, and false prophets. These shall be the beginnings of sorrows, but the end is not yet. When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, then run for the mountains. We are told to lift up our heads for our redemption draweth nigh. 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. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. We are living in the last Days and all that is left for the Church to be raptured, for God will not punish the righteous with the wicked. God will seal 144,000.00 Jewish Evangelists who will preach the gospel of the coming kingdom, and two witnesses will preach and fire will come out of their mouths, then they will be killed and their bodies will lay in the street for three days, then God will raise them from the dead and they will be raptured to heaven. Jesus said when the Son of man comes back, will He find faith on the earth? The answer is no, there will be total apostasy. Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, for there is coming a day when God will not strive with men.
