    Humans Lockdown Over Virus - leaving streets diserted |
 God's word tells us that a 'happy heart' is good medicine: 1) 1 Timothy 5:23 Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often. 2) Matthew 9:12 Jesus said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor–sick people do.” 3) Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no medicine in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why is there no healing for the wounds of my people? |  |
4) Ezekiel 47:11-12 Yet its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be left for salt. All kinds of trees providing food will grow along both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fresh fruit because the water comes from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for medicine.
5) Isaiah 38:21; 2 Kings 20:7 Isaiah had said to Hezekiah’s servants, “Make an ointment from figs and spread it over the boil, and Hezekiah will recover.”
6) Jeremiah 51:8 But suddenly Babylon, too, has fallen. Weep for her. Give her medicine. Perhaps she can yet be healed.
7) Psalm 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, my soul, and never forget any of his benefits: He continues to forgive all your sins, he continues to heal all your diseases.
8) Revelation 22:2 It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.
9)Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

| Differences Between Dogs & Cats Dogs are pack animals loving company & will never feel bored if humans give attention to it. However, cats love to spend time alone. Dogs love to please their human, but cats love to please themselves. Dogs are more affectionate than cats. Dogs will wag their tail & even their whole body to show affection. A cat will sometimes purr & rub on their human tolerating being smooched, but you will be smooched by the dog! Dogs are happy to see you when it is awaken from sleep, but a cat will just pretend to be sleeping, even if you try to wake it and seems angry to be bothered. | In summary: 1. A dog is a pack animal, and the cat is a loner. 2. Dogs bark, growl and woof. Cats just meow or purr. 3. Dogs need to be cared for, whereas cats are independent animals. 4. Dogs are more affectionate when compared to cats. 5. A dog scares away intruders, whereas a cat will just run for cover. 6. Dogs need a lot of space and they love to run about. On the contrary, cats are very happy in small spaces. |

Two Lions in New Testament
The Apostle John's vision: “One of the elders saith unto me, 'Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
Revelation 5:5, 9; Nahum 2:11; Amos 3:4; Genesis 49:9; Hosea 5:14; Micah 5:8
2-28-20, * -- Animals have 'communities' ... elephants have a parade, geese have a gaggle, cows have a herd, fish have a school and lions have social units called prides. Some of the oldest paintings in history are in the Chauvet Cave in France containing artwork called the “Gallery of Lions.” [Smithsonian Museum report here]
In the New Testament we find lions—two of them. One is worthy of eternal worship; one is worthy of eternal condemnation.
1. THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH - Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah; His great power is shown and felt in His devotion to creating and sustaining life for the world. Today’s verse is about Him and is part of a greater story in Revelation 5:5; there is a scroll no one in the universe can open and read making the apostle John weep! However, a mighty angel tells him, “Do not weep! The Lion of the Tribe of Judah . . . is able to open the scroll and its seals.” We learn that THIS Lion is worthy because He became a lamb shedding His blood for the salvation of people from every “tribe and language and people and nation.” (Matthew 26:28; Revelation 5:9)
2. THE LION OF DESTRUCTION - The apostle Peter writes about the wicked lion in 1 Peter 5:8, warning: "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." This lion is Satan himself and his powers are persecution, pain, confusion, delusion fear, destruction, devouring, consuming and death. [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 4:3]
While Jesus is the Author of Life, Satan is the bringer of death.

WHICH "PRIDE" ARE WE IN?
One of Life or One of death?
Much like the artwork in those ancient caves, these two lions paint profound pictures about what it means to be human. As men and women, we will devote ourselves to one “pride” or the other: the pride of Jesus or the pride of Satan.
To follow Jesus is obey His commands, share His truth attempting to snatch lost family, friends and acquaintances from the jaws of Hell. Finding strength in selflessness, to be quick to do what’s right, to have a steel backbone against evil and to never run from God’s purpose on our lives.
To follow Satan is to take life, to find strength in selfishness, to have feet quick to do evil, to give in to sin and to flee from God’s call on our lives. Follow the Lord Jesus and live!

China: Water Fowl Army of 100,000 Ducks Headed to Pakistan to Battle Incoming Plague of Locusts
| 2-27-20, Telegraph.uk -- Chinese officials are on standby to deploy an army of voracious ducks to Pakistan to help their neighbor fight locusts threatening to devour crops. At least 100,000 of the specially raised waterfowl are expected to be sent to Pakistan later this year to combat a desert locust outbreak. Chinese researchers have described the ducks as “biological weapons” and claimed... | ... they can be more effective than pesticide. “One duck is able to eat more than 200 locusts a day,” said Lu Lizhi, a senior researcher with the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences who is in charge of the project. A trial to gauge the ducks' locust-eating prowess would begin in Xinjiang later this year. More here |

| What Is The Coldest Temperature Horses Can Tolerate? Do they need blankets? 12-12-18, CowGirlMag -- Most horses can tolerate 0° F or even a little below. This would be without wind and precipitation. With shelter, such as a run-in or stable, your horse can manage in as low as -40° F. Their winter fur is still growing in until roughly December 22nd. If you blanket before that, you could be stunting the growth of the hair. Two horses are in the snow, one with a blanket, one without. Notice the unmelted snow on the unblanketed horse. His fur is working by insulating him. His body heat is not escaping; if his fur did not work the snow would melt immediately... | ...The unblanketed horse has the same amount of unmelted snow on his back as the blanketed one. Eventually since the horse is warmer than the frozen ground the snow will melt on both of them. The problem we humans have when we pat our horses in the winter is that they feel cold to touch, but this is because their fur has insulated them and is keeping all the warmth next to the skin. Horses can have icicles hanging off their fur and be perfectly warm underneath. Cold temperatures require a little more work; however, with proper care, your horse is likely to do just fine this winter! https://www.equisearch.com/discoverhorses/horses-in-cold-weather |

| Hummingbirds Drink Nectar for Strength 1-30-20, Hummingbirds live on nectar from flowers and the sugars that are found in specialty feeders of dissolved sugar in water. These tiny birds stock up on the needed fuel they will need for their migration South. Their average weight is 1/8 ounce. Their wings beat between 40 and 80 beats/second. | They breathe approximately 250 times per minute. Their heart rate is an unbelievable 250 beats/min at rest and 1200 beats/min while feeding. During flight they reach up to 63 miles/hour. It is believed that their migration flight to the Caribbean Islands and Mexico cross the Gulf and Atlantic Ocean waters is non-stop flight taking 18-20 hours. 1 Samuel 17:37 |

New Hampshire bill to CRIMINALIZE letting your own dog run around your back yard when the weather is cold
1-16-20, (Natural News) There is an old saying that “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Sometimes good intentions combined with a lack of knowledge can make for a really toxic combination. An excellent example of this is State Representative Katherine Rogers’ proposed legislation as outlined in New Hampshire House Bill 1389. The bill would impose criminal penalties on pet owners who do not: provide adequate food, water or shelter for their animals. Some elements of the way this legislation is structured reflects a lack of understanding and facts of dogs and weather. (Related: FDA approves anxiety drug for your dog … so he doesn’t react to his ‘normal’ animal instincts.) [Read More...]

God Created Canine Paws With Special Blood Vessels That Protect Them From Cold
A new study published in the Journal Veterinary Dermatology, dogs’ paw pads contain lots of fatty tissue – which doesn’t freeze as easily as other tissues. The blood vessels in dogs’ feet are arranged in a way that lets them act like living heat exchangers: arteries in the paws are very close to networks of tiny veins (venules), facilitating the transfer of heat from venous to arterial blood. When a paw is cooled by contact with frozen ground, warmth from the arteries in the paw is transferred to the venules. This helps keep the paw at a tolerable temperature.
In addition, it warms the blood before it flows back to the body – thus helping keep the dog’s body temperature from falling uncomfortably low. Thank YOU, God!

| Why Is My Dog Always Hungry? 1-16-17, It is not a secret to anyone: dogs are naturally greedy; especially when it comes to food. Often begging for treats - watching while you're cooking, watching & begging while you sit at the table to eat. This doesn't mean that your dog is hungry, just that he is a glutton. Yeah he is. | Hands-On Guide to Checking if Your Dog Is Over Weight Simple method to check your dogs weight: Run your hands along his back and sides - if he's proper weight you'll feel the ribs & spine and small amount of fat covering them. Also, at the base of the tail you'll feel a small layer of fat and it is smooth to the touch. |

Dogs Are Human's Best Friend
12-9-19, To put it simply, dogs are awesome. Whether they’re begging for your food, barking at their leash to convince you to take them on a walk, or simply greeting you when you get home, dogs do all of the little things that put smiles on faces around the world. Intelligence varies depending on the kind of breed you get, but overall, dogs are some of the most intuitive animals around. This is demonstrated by their multiple facial expressions (I especially like the one where they tilt their head and look at you quizzically), their ability to deviously hide toys in the strangest of places, and more. All they want to do is wake up, say hi to you, run around, play with their toys, eat, nap, eat again, nap again, say hi again, and sleep. Is that so bad?! Sure, we humans have certain responsibilities thanks to our “intelligence,” but it sure would be nice if we could all go through life like dogs; care free and completely sure of ourselves.

The Creation of the Animals
Vegetarian Diet Before the Flood
God said, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth."
Genesis 1:20-21, 9:3
In the Holy Bible's book of Genesis creation of both humans and animals occur. Creation and blessing of the whole swarming animal kingdom appears [Genesis 1:20-25]. Then in Genesis 1:26-28 man and woman were created in God’s image and given “dominion” over every other living creature. In Genesis 2:7 we see that God forms man from the dust of the ground and breathes life into “his nostrils” then God created woman from Adam’s rib. [..snip]
Regarding the word dominion and man's control or stewardship of the garden and animals [Genesis 2:15]; many people interpret Genesis 1:29 as emphasizing Adam and Eve’s vegetarian diet, with meat only becoming part of the table after Noah’s escape from the flood.
God told Noah and is family: "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." Genesis 9:3
All things were created by almighty God and for Him. Colossians 1:16

Roomba of the Sea - "The Guardian"
Submersible Robot armed with lights, cameras and vacuum to gather up lionfish
One of the most significant problems facing any ecosystem and the conservationists who work therein is the problem of non-native, invasive species. Goats nearly destroyed the Galapagos Islands; feral cats and foxes are devastating the rich diversity of marsupial species in Australia; and large species of Asian python are too much to bear for many creatures in the Everglades of Florida USA.
The same is true for the lionfish that grow to about 17 inches within the reefs of the western Atlantic Ocean. Stephen Gittings, a coral reef ecologist for the National Marine Sanctuary System reports that: “They can eat fish up to half their body size and a single lionfish can eat dozens of fish in a day. Since no native species prey on lionfish, so not losing very many of them over the course of time so they just dominate and take over.”
Red Lionfish
This species has red and maroon stripes over its white body. Its natural habitat consists of the coral reef regions of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Recently they are now found off the east coast of Florida in the United States. In 2010 Puerto Rico lionfish sightings were seldom, but the voracious fish are now a pretty common sight even in just 6-8 feet of water. People need to be aware of these dangerous fish and there is a call to 'cull the herd.' They are capable of delivering a painful puncture wound.
A new method to rid the seas of the lionfish is
THE GUARDIAN VACUUM
Like the Roomba Vacuum, "The Guardian" is also a vacuum cleaner—only instead of dust and cat hair, it vacuums up the stunned lionfish into an onboard water tank that can hold up to 20 fish. Once full, the Guardian can return to the surface with its catch. Adam Cantor, director of engineering at Robots Service of Environment [RSE], explains that while many coastal communities in the United States host spearfishing competitions to see who can bag the most lionfish, it’s not enough to prevent the effects of the invasive species on nearby reefs because they breed at a depth of 200-400 feet, which is far past the diving range of humans.

God Created Creatures to Adapt
God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind." God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And it was so and it was good. "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Genesis 1:24-28 24
Exploring Adaptation of God's Creatures from an Engineering Perspective
10-29-19, * -- For more than a century, biologists have appealed to Darwinian natural selection to explain how living organisms adapt to different environments. But research over the last several decades has consistently dethroned Darwin’s view of natural selection. Rather than corroborating the concept that environments mold creatures through “survival of the fittest,” the research supports the astonishing idea that to a great extent creatures actively sense their environments and adapt accordingly. Recent discoveries indicate that something radical and impressive is happening. Adaptation is a result of brilliant biological engineering rather than trial-and-error death and survival, which flips the mechanism of adaptation completely on its head. This approach views biological adaptation as primarily occurring through internal mechanisms (the ability to actively sense the environment and adapt) rather than external influence (the environment molds creatures through Darwinian natural selection). Abundant evidence can be found that creatures actively sense their environments and responsively adapt. Many such adaptations occur within one generation or less, which is far too rapid for Darwin’s notion of trial-and-error natural selection.

Examples of what studies have shown follows:
• Darwin’s famous finches rapidly adapted their beak shapes by sensing the environment rather than strictly through inherited genetic changes.1
• A species of carp expeditiously changed its morphology in the presence of predators. These changes made the carps’ bodies more difficult to devour and increased their speed and acceleration.2
• A study of over 1,000 pythons and boas demonstrated that they expressed similar traits to adapt to their environments, with no recorded mutations.3
• Certain populations of mice vary their tail lengths in response to eastern or western prairies and forests. This appears to happen by specific genetic mechanisms—not mutations.4
• Clutches of eggs for various reptiles sense environmental temperature and sand content and produce different ratios of male and female. The changes occur after the eggs are laid and are not a result of mutations. Specific sensors for this process were discovered in 2015.5
• When a certain species of sighted river fish lays eggs in a cave environment, the larvae indirectly sense the cave environment and produce fish with greater eye and orbit size variations. No inactivating mutation in regulatory genes have been identified.6
Many evolutionary scientists significantly disagree over the challenge this “warp-speed evolution” presents to Darwinism.7 Nature magazine published a 2014 point-counterpoint article on the issue titled “Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?”8 In sharp contrast with traditional Darwinian thought, attendees of an April 2016 conference at the University of Pittsburgh explored the possibility of examining biology in the light of engineering principles. [..snip]
In light of recent discoveries, ICR’s Dr. Randy Guliuzza has incorporated the newest research into a pioneering, design-based, organism-focused method of interpreting biological adaptation. So far, critiques of Darwinism have focused on the inadequacies of its mechanisms or the insurmountable hurdles it would need to overcome to actually work. But this criticism offers little alternative. As both a medical doctor and a registered Professional Engineer, Dr. Guliuzza has the education and experience to provide a solution with unique insights in the area of biological engineering.

But this criticism offers little alternative. As both a medical doctor and a registered Professional Engineer, Dr. Guliuzza has the education and experience to provide a solution with unique insights in the area of biological engineering.
- Paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas says, “Dr. Randy Guliuzza’s research has bravely re-evaluated old ideas about the way animals adjust their biology.”
- Nuclear physicist Vernon Cupps, author of the recent book Rethinking Radiometric Dating, says, “Creationists in general and ICR in particular can look forward to a bright future in the study of biological engineering thanks to the work of Dr. Guliuzza.”
As research advances, ICR scientists are discovering more evidence of God’s brilliant engineering that comes as no surprise to Christian believers.
Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.”

Why Did God Make Mosquitoes?
They weren’t deadly when first created …
Then the World Was Cursed After Adam & Eve Sinned
***
“God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind; everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” 3:17 THEN: [After Adam & Eve sinned] God said, “I told you not to eat of it [tree but you did]: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
Genesis 1:25, 3:17-19
9-30-19, Dr Brian Thomas PhD -- The first mosquitoes God made didn’t seek to suck blood; nor did they transmit deadly diseases like yellow fever or malaria. God’s creation was all good [Genesis 1:31] before Adam and Eve sinned. Then the curse came and everything wasn’t good.
The apostle Paul wrote, “We know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.” [Romans 8:22] According to Genesis 3:16 one penalty of sin is pain in human childbirth. God told Eve, “In pain you shall bring forth children.” [Note: I have had two children, and I've witnessed pigs, dogs and cows giving birth. I assume it's similar for all four legged beasts. They do not suffer like humans do! -- Annette]
So, what purpose did mosquitoes serve before they started misbehaving after the Genesis 3:17 curse? Many mosquito species use their unique mouth parts to take nectar from flowers or fruit and they pollinate; could be one good purpose. Of the 3000+ named mosquito species, only a few hundred harangue humans and suck blood. Perhaps at the beginning the meals of all of them were nectar.
God allowed mosquitoes to fall from perfection—like so many other current pests, poisons, parasites, and problems— but “creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” [Isaiah 66:22]
This present cursed world is not the ultimate home for born again believers in Christ. [Romans 8:19-22] The good news is that one day God has promised He will remake the universe. “For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me.” [Isaiah 65:17]

One of God's Most Miraculous Creations:
The Honey Bee
"My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off."
Proverbs 24:13-14; Deuteronomy 31:20; Psalm 19:10; Song Solomon 4:11; Isaiah 7:15
Honeybees: One of God's Sweetest Gifts
6-20-17, God's perfect creation the Honey Bee flies efficiently from flower to flower. Flowers produce sugary nectar, which attracts the bee. In exchange, the bee collects the flower’s pollen on its tiny hairs through an electrostatic charge. Roughly one third of humanity’s food source depends on insects like bees for pollination.

God's healing gift of honey
3-27-16, Descendants of Noah were aware that honey had medicinal properties: surviving records show how the ancient Egyptians used honey to prevent and cure various diseases, and heal wounds. The first known official recognition of the importance of honey dates from the very beginnings of Pharaonic Egypt—the use of the title ‘Sealer of the Honey’.

'Holy Huge' Bee Hive: Beekeeper Removes Massive Honeycomb From Wall of House Without Killing Them as They are Endangered Species
10-4-18, Tennessee -- In Germantown, Tennessee a family of honey bees decided to make their home in the brick wall of a suburban home. The noise they made was very disturbing. Bee expert David Glover to the rescue; he removed a two year old nest from the brick wall very slowly. David reported that he was able to remove and relocate the entire hive. He said, "I don't like taking out bricks. Will the mortar chip out, or will the bricks crumble? Will the combs be usable once the bricks are out of the way?" Viewing that hive in that wall "was awesome." WREG-TV reported more here See Video as David Glover, 'The Bee Whisperer' opens brick wall and gently removes a two year old bee hive here

The Giraffe Tongue
The giraffe tongue is dark black, blue, or purple in color. Even though a typical giraffe neck can stretch as long as six feet, the giraffe's tongue usually only 18-20 inches long. Giraffes spend up to 12 hours each day eating, the tongue's dark color might protect it from exposure to the Sun's rays, thereby preventing sunburn! Their favorite food is acacia leaves that have high moisture content, up to 75 pounds of leaves in a day provides them with much of the water they need and can go days without drinking if they have plenty of acacia leaves. [How do evolutionist's explain the giraffe?] More here

Birds Attacking People in USA and England
***
What are the "birds of the air?"
Demons!
Jesus interprets birds of the air as "the wicked one" devouring the seed.
Abraham said, "And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away." What were the vultures doing? They were interfering between God and man, trying to defile Abraham's sacrifice.
"Your carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten them away." God promises that there would be no Abraham around, as it were, to fend off the birds. "Birds of the air" is a negative symbol.
"And [an angel] cried mightily with a loud voice, saying Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hated bird!"
Matthew 13:4; Genesis 15:11; Deuteronomy 28:26; Revelation 18:2
7-15-19, WSJ -- In 1963 Alfred Hitchcock's scary movie 'THE BIRDS' has become a reality in America. Birds are turning violent as Red-winged blackbirds and other species are stepping up dive bombing humans. Stephen Vedder used to enjoy peaceful lakeside runs near his Marlborough, Mass. home. This spring 2019 those tranquil outings came to an end. It started with a whack to the back of the head. Next, Mr. Vedder was dive bombed then clawed. The culprit was a red-winged blackbird.
More than 250 million of the birds live across North and Central America, and this summer some are feeling extra aggressive toward human neighbors—driving them to change walking routes, wear protective headgear or furiously wave arms above their heads as they jog. Mr Vedder a 60 yr old programmer said:
“You talk to people about being attacked by birds, and they look at you like you’re crazy. This is ‘The Birds’ all over again, but it’s real!” More here

7-17-19, BBC -- Studying common terns on a beach island in Massachusetts, people frequently attacked by a noisy dive-bombing squawking swarm, and took to wearing a hat with plastic flowers attached since birds typically attack the highest part of their target.
Joggers in Denver, Colorado, have been waving their arms above their heads as they run, in order to prevent their scalps from being strafed by red-winged blackbirds. More here

John 14:3; Revelation 19:11
✝️ 7-11-20, The weight of the 'world's sin' ... the infinite blessings and resources of our salvation in Christ are described as providing the power of surpassing greatness, the grace of surpassing richness, the peace which surpasses all understanding. Thank YOU, Lord. John 1:29; Revelation 5:12; Philippians 4:7
7-10-20, The Lord told us we'd be hated; but He will laugh at scorners. Mark 13:13; Proverbs 1:22-23, 24-27
✝️ 7-9-20, When the Lord Jesus was on the cross and the people scorned and scoffed; His great love for all ignorant uninformed sinners showed forth. He died for all sinners. Romans 5:8; Luke 23:34 However, after we are aware we're no longer ignorant of Who He was and 'what we do;' THEN we are all responsible if we reject Christ. John 3:17-18
□□ 7-7-20, The Lord God loves His righteous followers. Those who refuse to believe wickedness will be punished should read more of their Bibles. Psalm 37:25-31; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 13:3, 16:19-24 □
✝️ 7-3-20, As we see in the Bible's Old Testament all the events where the Hebrews were punished for their disobedience ... why today do we think almighty God is less righteous and will permit His followers to do wickedly without unpleasant consequences? Daniel 9:4-14
6-29-20, Jesus said, 'Obey Me!' John 14:15; 1 John 2:3, 3:22 Of course we are forgiven when we sincerely pray for forgiveness turning our lives to the Lord Jesus. We must intend to sin no more ... if we do ... quickly repent as we didn't INTEND to. John 8:11 More here: https://www.gotquestions.org/go-and-sin-no-more.html
✝️ 6-28-20, I often wonder why born again Christians deliberately violate the Lord □ Jesus commands. He tells us to obey Him; we should and according to these scriptures, we must. Matthew 7:21; Luke 6:46, 11:28; John 14:15, 21, 23, 15:10; Acts 5:32; Hebrews 5:9; 1 John 5:3 □□
We must be born again in Jesus. John 3:3,7
Jesus said, 'You must be born again." John 3:3, 7
✝️ 6-27-29, The lawlessness we are now seeing on America's streets ... who are these young people? The kids raised under liberal theories forcing parents to withhold discipline from their children & taught liberal leftist dogma in the government schools & universities - now they are unruly selfish hateful barbarians. God said to train up children & they wouldn't depart from it [Proverbs 22:6] □□ ... true for evil □ as well as good □ behaviors. More here: https://bit.ly/3i55gQf

Proverbs 24:19-20; Psalm 141:10
✝️ 6-17-20, Many people have the misconception that the Lord's TEN COMMANDMENTS are just suggestions since Jesus came and we're now under the NEW COVENANT. Well, Jesus repeated them in Matthew 19:18-19.
✝️ 6-16-20, The demented and delusional rioters who apparently hate America, law, order and police are still loved by our Lord □ Jesus and will save any sinner who repent of their sin and believe in Him. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:3-5; Romans 5:8, Revelation 1:5
✝️ 6-15-20, Our hearts break as we watch Americans riot and kill performing all types of lawlessness; they behave as if there is no God as if THEY are God. Surely we are in the last days as described by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, 3:3
Revelation 21:4
✝️ 6-12-20, The Lord □Jesus' mom, Mary's cousin Elizabeth's son John the Baptist was brutally killed because of a wicked hateful woman. Her foolish husband, King Herod - although he liked John; had him executed because of a promise - he musta been drunk - to make such a promise to his wife's daughter, Salome who's mom, Herodias wanted John dead. Matthew 14:3-11; Mark 6:14-29; Luke 9:7-9
✝️ 6-11-20, Regarding forgiveness: the Lord □ Jesus clearly taught that marriage was between a husband & wife. [Matthew 19:5; Mark 7:21] He loves all sinners both the heterosexual & homosexual. He promises forgiveness to everyone who repents coming to Him for salvation. He told the woman caught in adultery: "Go and sin no more.” Matthew 11:28
✝️ 6-9-20, The Lord □ Jesus explained to Nicodemus that he must be 'born again' [John 3.3, 7]. In Utah I've heard some LDS people scoff and ridicule believers in Christ who are 'born again.' Those who scorn are lost; Jesus clearly said to 'marvel not that you must be born again'; without Christ we are lost. John 3:17-18
✝️ 6-8-20, Jesus is God; He came to save sinners. “For He [Jesus] Whom God sent speaks the words of God: The Father loves the Son & has given all things into His hand. He that believs on the Son hath everlasting life & they that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on them.” John 3:34-36
✝️ 6-7-20, The Lord □ Jesus spoke from the cross first of forgiveness, salvation then of His Mother's care into John's hands. He spoke of being forsaken & then triumph as His task as human was complete shedding His perfect blood for the forgiveness of sins to all who repent believing in Him. His body was thirsty. And last of His reunion with the Father. Matthew 27:46; Luke 23:34, 43, 46; John 19:26-28, 30; Mark 15:34
✝️ 6-6-20, Another promise from God's word in Psalm 72:1-9; the Lord will annihilate the oppressor while the righteous will prosper and His enemies will lick the dust. Thank You, Lord.
Genesis 1:9-10
✝️ 6-5-20, As we watch in horror the evil behaviors of the masses in America; those who are born again in the Lord Jesus should have peace. His peace that passes all understanding. He has our best in His plans. Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 55:11-13; Philippians 4:7
✝️ 6-3-20, Interesting the different duties of God's arch angels. Michael is a warrior who will defeat Satan and Gabriel was/is God's messenger appearing to:
Prophet Daniel 8:15-17, 9:21-24 ...
Zacharias, father of John the Baptist, Luke 1:11-18...
Mary, Mother of Jesus, Luke 1:26-31...
Joseph, Husband of Mary, Matthew 1:20-24, 2-13
✝️ 6-2-20, In appx 530 BC the Lord God of Israel chose the Persian [aka Iran] King Cyrus to protect and help the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Who would come back and rebuild Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem where now - since 688 AD - a Muslim mosque sits. Mark 13:14; Isaiah 45:4-6, 9, 12-13. World Without End. Ephesians 3:20-21
✝️ 6-1-20, The Lord □Jesus had plenty to say about hypocrites. See Matthew 23:2, 5, 16, 12-29
Revelation 19:7-8
✝️ 5-30-20, As we watch in horror when Derek killed George in Minneapolis, the riots & mayhem; we know that God is looking down on it all & preparing His judgment. When we add the murder of millions of innocent babies - we know it won't be good. Exodus 20:13; Genesis 4:15, 9:6
Mark 1:3; Psalm 16:11
✝️ 5-29-20, The Lord □ Jesus wants us to behave in a loving caring way especially to the brethren. Similar as if we were caring for Him. Matthew 25:31-41
✝️ 5-28-20, God's word has many encouraging promises to those who stand fast in their faith of the Lord □ Jesus. We're called 'Overcomers' - 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 2:7, 3:21. Thank You, Lord.
✝️ 5-31-20, Have you ever noticed that in God's word He repeatedly warns us we are to fear Him? Well, why not? Like □Jesus said, we should fear Him who can cast us into Hell. Luke 12:5; Psalm 103:1-2, 11-15, 17
Luke 17:25-27
1 Thessalonians 5:4; Mark 13:33

✝️ 5-27-20, See Romans 13:11; James 5:8; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor 15:51-52, Rev 11:15 Scripture tells us that "The coming of the Lord is at hand;" but thousands of years have passed without the Lord’s coming. We must remember that one thousand years are like one day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). The rapture will happen without warning at any time and believers in the Lord Jesus must be ready at all time. Certain current events cause us to believe we are near the Lord’s trumpet call and that the rapture of the church is ‘at hand.
✝️ 5-26-20, There are those who refuse to believe in almighty God's miracles; they call them coincidences or just 'by chance.’ When the Lord performs His mighty deeds ... it doesn’t matter. Job 5:9; Jeremiah 32:37; John 2:11; Mark 9:23; Acts 3:16
✝️ 5-24-20, A rich ruler asked the Lord □ Jesus about heaven; he didn't like Jesus’ answer. We need to keep reading ... all things are possible with God. Matthew 19:23-26; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30
✝️ 5-23-20, Our eternal destination is determined by each of us individually. We chose Hell when we reject Christ. John 3:17-18, 14:6; Romans 5:2; Ephesians 2:18; Hebrews 10:20
✝️ 5-22-20, Interesting that the Lord □ Jesus said at the 'LAST SUPPER' He'd drink wine with the Apostles again in His Father's kingdom. Another confirmation & validation of scripture & teaching that we will be with Him in glory. Hallelujah! Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

✝️ 5-19-20, No other Disciple of Christ had so many visions & revelations as the Apostle Paul & he isn't generous with his descriptions. So his report - when he was translated [aka raptured] - is sparse. Some believe it happened when he was left for dead after he was stoned at Lystra. [Acts 14:19] Whenever it happened it's encouraging to add his name to the list of the other five: Enoch, Elijah, Philip, John and Jesus. Next it'll be the 'Church.' More here https://bit.ly/3bIwuI1
✝️ 5-18-20, In 1634 AD Rembrandt's 'DOUBTING THOMAS' painting depicts the fact that disciple Thomas did not touch the risen Lord Jesus. Shame and shock is what's displayed when he exclaimed, 'MY LORD AND MY GOD!' And the admonition of Christ that those who've not seen still believe are blessed. John 20:24-29
✝️ 5-17-20, During these stressful times as the world struggles to understand believing they can fight against a virus; when the economy is falling everywhere ... I feel such pity for those who don't know the Lord □ Jesus. Surely they are most fearful. The Lord said if you only have faith as small as a tiny mustard seed nothing shall be impossible. Luke 13:3; Ma

✝️ 5-14-20, We should listen to our conscience & obey warning; it's our God given defense against sin & regret. [Acts 23:1; 2 Timothy 1:3; Hebrews 13:18] Unless of course our consciences have been disabled: 'those whose consciences have been seared [calloused] as with a hot iron." 2 Timothy 4:1-2
✝️ 5-13-20, What a wonderful vision the Apostle John had of the New Jerusalem. It is 1,500 miles square and 1,500 miles high. Almost the size of the United States. The Lord □ Jesus is the Light. Imagine no more wickedness. No more pain & crying. Revelation 21:1-2, 3-27, 22:1-5
✝️ 5-12-20, Because of God’s love, while we were yet sinners, the Lord Jesus □Christ suffered and died for us. It was God's plan for sinful mankind to repent trusting Him to save them; He could/can because He is God and arose from death. Thank You, Lord. Romans 5:8; Galatians 2:20
Malachi 1:14
5-11-20, Have you thought about how much of the Holy Scriptures are figurative language? God's 'feathers,' the Lord □ Jesus is the 'Door.' Psalm 91:4; John 10:7. Interesting.
✝️ 5-8-20, □ Jesus is the Light of the world. His born again disciples carry His Light. We are hated as He was hated because evil mankind loves wickedness and darkness. Example: Christian churches closed for Easter during covid scare; but Muslim mosques aren’t – New York giving them 500K free meals for Ramadan. Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13; John 3:19, 9:5; Galatians 2:20
✝️ 5-7-20, Sins □ Jesus Harshly Condemns; He said, “God knows our hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

✝️ 5-3-20, It is widely accepted that the age of accountability is about twelve years. The Lord Jesus began teaching and displaying His glory at that age - sadly His Mother and step-father didn't know He'd begun while they were traveling and went missing for three days. Mark 6:1-6; Luke 2:41-49
✝️ 5-2-20, There are some scorners and scoffers who mock those who are Born Again in Christ. Sadly they must not read the scriptures - the Lord □ Jesus told us to marvel not that we must be born again. John 3:3, 7, 1 Peter 1:3
✝️ 5-1-20, All through the ages there have been wolves among the sheep in the Lord □ Jesus' flock. Beware. Acts 20:17, 28-30
✝️ 4-30-20, When the Lord □ Jesus Mother told her son that at the Cana wedding celebration there was no wine - I wonder if the Lord did little miracles around the house so Mary knew of His abilities expecting Him to quickly whip up some good wine.

✝️ 4-29-20, We learn the importance of loving God from Psalm 91 where Moses is blessed by God Who said: 'v9 Because thou hast made the Lord... the most High, thy habitation; v14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore, l will deliver him & set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me & I will deliver him ... & shew him My salvation." Psalm 90:1, 91-14
✝️ 4-28-20, The Lord □ Jesus, in the book of Matthew, lists what’s called the “Beatitudes.” He lists the items in our lives in His 'Sermon on the Mount' that examine our values, vision & habits to wholehearted obedience to God. We seek His forgiveness & acceptance for eternal life with Him; this is the good news 'Gospel.' John 14:6; Matthew 5:1-48, 6:1-34, 7:1-28.
✝️ 4-27-20, In the days when □ Jesus walked the earth and healed all who came to Him ... imagine the horror of those who He healed who believed He was the Son of God as they may have watched their Savior brutalized and killed. Hopefully they were nearby 3 days later!! Hallelujah. Mark 16:1-20; John 20:1-31
✝️ 4-26-20, Seeing this wonderful painting of King Jesus with this beautiful child makes me think of all the innocent children who are now with Him in Heaven as their lives were brutally taken in abortion before they were officially 'born.'

4-23-20, We learn of God's command to write in a book in a vision when the Apostle John heard God's instruction ... especially the warning about those who will and won't inherit God's blessings ... those who will suffer His punishment. Thank You, Lord for the warning! Revelation 21:1-8
✝️ 4-22-20, Considering the harsh punishment God meted out in the Old Testament for blasphemy - why do people in the modern world now think it's perfectly permissible to disobey God's commandment #3 & blaspheme [deliberately & repeatedly] HIS HOLY NAME?? God will not be mocked [Galatians 6:7] there is judgment coming someday; He has a record book, keys to death & Hell. Revelation 1:17-20
✝️ 4-21-20, The enemies of the Lord Jesus accused Him of performing miracles with the help of Satan. HaHa ... Jesus explained that's impossible that the devil would fight against himself. Mark 3:22-27

✝️ 4-14-20, Based on the behaviors of some church goers; apparently they think God is like an old lenient Grandpa winking at deliberate unrepentant sin. Even sins that are done repeatedly with no remorse. Because the Lord God loves us so much, He generously warns us ... He has a book where names of forgiven sinners are recorded. Almighty God demands us to honor and obey Him. Revelation 1:18, 3:5, 20:1; Malachi 3:16 □□
