Glad with Grace 💙 Seeking The Kingdom of God

  Did you know that you are Gods precious creation. Before you fill yourself with hundreds of questions , stop for a moment and Cast all your cares on him. The bible says 🛡️ Matthew 6:26 “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” 🛡️ 1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 🛡️ Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” God is not waiting for you to have everything figured out. He just wants you close. You’re His creation. His idea. His intentional design. And when He looks at you, He doesn’t see a mess or a burden. He sees someone worth loving, protecting, guiding, and growing. And He’s already promised that when you seek Him first, everything else will fall into place in the right time. You don’t have to pretend you’re strong. You don’t have ...

Today I want to talk to you all about  spiritual warfare . A  story of light and darkness , where God is the King , Jesus is our Champion , and we are invited to stand on the side of the light.  T wo realms exist (the seen and the unseen), and  God teaches us how to stay safe, strong, and full of peace. "God  made a beautiful world. But there is also an invisible world. In that world, God’s angels do His work, and sometimes evil tries to cause trouble. But God is the strongest, and He teaches us how to stand with Him. When we pray, obey God, and speak His Word, we shine like lights in the darkness.”  Spiritual warfare is the Bible’s way of explaining that God’s kingdom of light and the forces of darkness are real, but God is stronger , and He teaches us how to stand with Him. God made two worlds : -The physical world we see (trees, people, animals) -The spiritual world we cannot see (angels, God’s presence, spiritual forces) in the bible ,  Paul ...

We love because Jesus loved us first 🩵  🌱 Luke 15:4 "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?" - 💭   Jesus tells this to the Pharisees(1) and scribes who were complaining that He was hanging out and eating with "sinners." Jesus uses the story to show God's heart for rescuing the lost.   📖 - (1)  Think of the Pharisees as the strict religious leaders and legal experts of Jesus’s time. They weren't priests who worked in the main Temple; instead, they were local teachers who taught in the neighborhood synagogues (local churches ). 🌱  Matthew 18:12  "How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?" -💭 Jesus is speaking directly to His disciples, using the parable to explain how pre...
