September 13 “Real JOY” Matthew 5:12
** I continue to witness the unexplainable displays of evil being perpetrated by individuals that did not agree with the witness and message of Charlie Kirk! Wow! I, personally, did not agree with the policies and actions of two of our former presidents, but I did not, and do not, want them dead! Evil, satanic motivations continue, camouflaged as some righteous position, yet full of hatred, malice and violence! Be Prepared! Matthew 7:15 warns that we need to “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Armor Up for the Battle because it is here! I am praying for those who would use this senseless assassination of Charlie Kirk as a steppingstone to promote and enhance their narrow, satanic goals. Come Quickly, Lord… Come Quickly!
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:12)
If you were raised in the church, you probably remember the song, “I’ve got joy, joy, joy, joy down deep in my heart…” I love the part that Mrs. Carter would add… “And if the Devil doesn’t like it, he can sit on a tack!” Think about this concept! Experiencing real joy, in the midst of trials and persecutions and difficulties and challenges! How is this possible? Real JOY is only possible in a Personal and Growing Relationship with the Savior, JESUS CHRIST! I am excited to know that, through Faith in the One that has saved me, and will never fail me, nor will He ever leave me, that I can experience REAL JOY, despite the issues of the day! REAL JOY is more than earthly pleasures and an “easy” life! It is embracing and experiencing the power for living, right here, right now, and the blessed hope of eternity with Him in Heaven! THANK YOU, GOD, for sending JESUS to provide SALVATION and REAL JOY!! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
