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.

#And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. Acts 26:24 Paul's thorn in the flesh could have been a mental illness
The Greek word for mad is Eis, meaning expressing emotion against. For these causes, the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to the small and great, saying nothing other than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that He should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner, King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Paul's thorn in the flesh could have been a mental illness. Since Festus believed by Paul to be mad, Paul tried to reason with him. Yet this reasoning was not believed, so he asked King Agrippa, " Believest thou the prophets? We as Christians can be perceived to have been mad for believing that Christ is risen from the dead. However, King Agrippa said Almost thou persuadest me to become a Christian. Unless you are hearing voices in your head telling you to do unimaginable things, against nature, you are not mad. I have schizophrenia, and I take medication to stop the voices of paranoia. So do not be afraid to see a mental health professional if you are hearing voices. Thank God Jesus is risen from the dead, and has given unto us the Holy Spirit, and we cry Abba Father, which is Aramaic for Daddy, who keeps us humble and thankful. This term of endearment is a great help to us in the Christian life.
#Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3:4 Perilous days are here
The Greek word for pleasure is Philidonos, meaning fond of pleasure, i.e., voluptuous. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affections, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Perilous days are here, and the last days started when Jesus was on the cross, and over 2000 years now it has gotten worse and worse. With AI, good is being done, but traitors take this technology and use it for evil to scam people out of their hard-earned investments. People are more religious than ever, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away. As we are in the season of Lent, let us meditate on the word of God and prepare our hearts for the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For He was wounded for our transgression, despised and rejected of men, acquainted with sorrows, and by His stripes we are healed. Let us continue to pray for Mary Guthrie to be rescued from the kidnappers and that her family will remain strong. God is not willing that any would perish but that all would come unto the knowledge of the truth. Let us do good unto all men, and especially unto those of the household of faith. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Taste and see that the Lord is good, and delight thyself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart.
#And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, Acts 16:19. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. And brought them to the magistrates, saying these men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, nor to observe, being Romans. And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. The Greek word for master is Kurios, meaning supreme in authority. We see Paul cast the evil spirit out of the damasel and now they have commanded to beat them and put them in prison. It was there while Paul and Silas were singing praises to God that an earthquake came and broke open the prison doors, and the keeper said to the men what must I do to be saved? They told him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thine house. What a wonderful praise report, and we pray that if you are possessed with an evil spirit that you too would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thine house. Let the gospel change you and stop serving mamon, but believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. And you too can be saved from this evil spirit of divination.
A great man has passed, Rev. Jesse Jackson a civil rights activist and now he is resting with the Dr. Martin Luther King. May the Lord grant peace to his family.
#For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name, and I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. The Greek word for power is Dunamis and this is the power that God gives us to preach the gospel, which saves those who believe. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God to save those who believe. So baptism is for the outward showing of your inward belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, and then we are baptized by fire by the Holy Spirit. Unto us is it given to believe on the Lord and to be baptized into Christ.
#And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Acts 2:5 Be filled with the Spirit
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born. This was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and of the 120 that were in the upper room, they were all speaking in every man's tongue, and truly the Lord was being glorified. We require another outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and we pray that it will happen as the prophet Joel said thy sons and thy daughters will prophesy. Jesus told them to tarry ye at Jerusalem until you shall be filled with the Spirit, and it happened just as He said. My brothers and sisters take time to smell the roses and praise God for His goodness and His mercy unto the children of men. For we have been benefiting from this for over 2000 years, and let us give God the glory
#But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. Daniel 11:16 Jesus will defeat the Antichrist
The Hebrew word for consumed is Kalah, meaning a completion, also destruction, riddance. For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and much riches. And in those times, there shall be many who stand up against the king of the south; also, the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision, but they shall fail. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities; and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, nor shall there be any strength to withstand. He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do; and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her; but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him. After this, shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many, but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach, he shall cause it to turn upon him Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. Jesus will defeat the Antichrist when He comes with the armies of heaven and thousands of angels. Jesus will destroy the Antichrist in the brightness of His coming and by the words of His mouth. Then there shall be peace in Jerusalem forever, and the Antichrist and the false prophet will be thrown in the Lake of Fire forever because they deceived the whole world into receiving the mark of the beast 666. If you miss the Rapture of the Church and go into the tribulation, do not receive this mark of the beast, for it is the number of man. He that endures until the end shall be saved, for in your patience shall ye possess your souls.
#And when he had said these things, all His adversaries were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him. Luke 13:17 Happy Valentine's Day!
The Greek word for adversaries is Antikeimai, meaning to lie opposite, i.e., be adverse to or contrary. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath Day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work; in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath Day. The Lord answered him and said, thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall. and lead him away to the watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath Day? Then said he, " Unto what is the kingdom of God like? And whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? As we thank the Lord that He heals on the Sabbath Day, and loosed this daughter of Abraham who was bound by Satan for eighteen years. I pray that if any of you are bound by Satan, that you will have mustard seed faith and accept the Lord's healing on the Sabbath Day. O ye of little faith, for even the birds of the air rejoice in the branches of a great tree, giving thanks to God. How much greater are we than they? Tell your loved ones not just on Valentine's Day, but every day, how much you love them and pray for their healing, for the Lord Jehovah Rapha can heal even on the Sabbath Day. Love believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things; love never fails. Now abides these three: Faith, Hope, and Love, and the greatest of these is love. Jesus demonstrated His love by healing the daughter of Abraham, who was bound by Satan on the Sabbath Day. Now if you are bound by hypocrisy, be healed in Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
#And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 1 Timothy 6:2 The love of money is the root of all evil
Let as many servants as are under the yoke, count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and His doctrine be not blasphemed. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. The love of money is the root of all evil, and many have pierced their hearts with this idolatry. The Greek word for exhort is Parakaleo, meaning to call near and to implore, or entreat. It is time that we as ministers teach the word of God, entreating all that hear to be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving themselves. For godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and we will carry nothing out with us. Therefore, lay up treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust will corrupt. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. It is my prayer that you will follow after godliness and contentment. May the Lord reward us for doing what He has commanded us, and let us call ourselves unprofitable servants, because we did that which we were commanded to do. Let the Lord be glorified in our words and our deeds. Jesus has promised us that whatsoever is right He will pay. So let us do our work unto the Lord Jesus Christ and give Him all the glory and honour.
#(A Song of degrees of David) Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Psalm 133:1 Being united in truth
The Hebrew word for unity is Yachad, meaning a unit, i.e., unitedly. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Being united in truth is the key for brethren to dwell in unity. We must not have any secrets, for it has been said that secret sin on earth is a wide-open scandal in heaven. Be sure that your sins will find you out, so confess your faults one with the other so that you can be healed. For by His stripes we are healed of our diseases, and forgiven of our sins. David knew this very well as a man after God's heart, and yet he was imperfect as he committed that sin with Bathsheba, and had Uriah killed in a heated battle. David repented in Psalm 51 by saying create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit in me. God restored the fellowship with Him and restored the joy of his salvation. This is the beauty of brethren dwelling together in unity. May we put aside our differences and unite around the Lord Jesus Christ. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus who thought it not robbery to be equal with God and took upon him the form of a servant and humbled Himself to death on the cross, wherefore, God hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name above all names that at the name of Jesus Christ we shall bow and confess that He is Lord to the glory of God the father.in heaven and earth. So dwell together in unity, brethren, and be at peace with all men, for inasmuch as it is possible, be ye holy as God is holy.
