Thank you Lord for your gift of the Holy Spirit.

In a dark world, Jesus be our light!

 

We are facing a spiritual warfare of good vs evil and if you do not see that then you have successfully been brainwashed by the enemy. It is not political, it's biblical 💯. It's a dark world right now, that's only going to get darker. Make sure you have Jesus in your heart ❤️‍🔥because HE is the only source of light when the lights start dimming! Keep your lamps filled.

Lets delve into Matthew 25: 1-13.

Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13)

This parable tells the story of ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five were wise and took extra oil, while five were foolish and did not. When the bridegroom arrived, the foolish virgins were unprepared and missed the opportunity to enter the wedding feast.

"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

Meaning

- **Preparedness**: The parable underscores the importance of being spiritually prepared for the return of Christ. - **Wisdom vs. Foolishness**: It contrasts the actions of the wise and foolish, highlighting that wisdom involves foresight and readiness. - **Judgment**: The closing message emphasizes that those who are unprepared will miss out on eternal life.

Conclusion

Matthew Chapter 25 serves as a powerful reminder of the need for spiritual readiness, responsible stewardship of our gifts. It calls believers to live out their faith actively and compassionately in anticipation of Christ's return.

"Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning."

Good morning fellow Americans! "Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning"- Psalm 30:5

A September to Remember that the enemy can stop a voice, but he cannot stop the word of God . It's okay to disagree with someone but it will never be okay to harm them. It will never be a race, gun or political problem. It's a hate and lack of Jesus problem. God left a place within us vacant, a space that only HE can occupy. Let us unite today and show the world that this nation is one nation under God. Let us all turn from our wicked ways and repent for our sins daily. Stay obedient to HIM. Be alert, pray without ceasing and remember that the truth that matters most is not of this world. Never forget This world is temporary. Where are you wanting to spend eternity. I pray it is with the one who loves you, the one who died for you and who will never lie to you because he is not a father of lies. It is the one who wants that relationship with you. He came and conquered death so that you may have abundant joy and a place to call home. A home filled with light and no darkness or torture.

HE is our hope we can always cling to.

HE is our peace in the chaos.

When there’s no peace on earth, there is peace in Christ.

The light shines only to those who follow HIM because HE is the light of the world.

I'm thankful for my relationship with Jesus, because this world will always bring trials but when you have Jesus, you have joy. A joy that overcomes and surpasses every hard trial and tribulation. Jesus tells us everything we need to know in the bible to give us peace through HIM John 16:33 reminds us of that.

Have you ever noticed… those who know Christ and die are totally different compared to those who don’t know God and die. Tomorrow is never promised, seek HIM now.

(Next weekend I head back to the coast for some R&R and more soaking in HIS words with HIM. )
