I love the Lord , because He hears My voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of the Lord : O Lord , I beseech You, save my life! Gracious is the Lord , and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.... Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living. I believed when I said, I am greatly afflicted. I said in my alarm, All men are liars. What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the Lord . I shall pay my vows to the Lord , Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. Psalms 116:1-14 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.116.1-14.NASB1995

I thankful and grateful for seeing another day that the Lord has made. It didn't have to be so but He woke me up this morning and I'm glad about it. I'm thankful for the roof over my head, clothes on my back, shoes on my feet and food to eat. I know things happen beyond my control but I know GOD is Sovereign, I know He is just and faithful. So no matter what I will rejoice because all things work together for good and count it all joy when I go through trails and tribulations... understanding that He allowed it to happen, that He is in control and He will never put more on me than I can bear. So no matter the fire, the storm, or flood He will bring me through. The battle is the Lord's and victory is mine if I just hold my peace and keep my mind on Him and let my request be made known. I know He is with me and will never leave me nor forsake me plus nothing will separate the love He has for me. Hallelujah, Praise GOD and Amen! To GOD be the glory, this too shall come to pass!

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from the Lord , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold ...the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord . Hear, O Lord , when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, Seek My face, my heart said to You, Your face, O Lord , I shall seek. Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the Lord will take me up. Psalms 27:1-10 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.27.1-10.NASB1995

Today is the day that the Lord has made and I shall rejoice and be glad in it. I thank Him and praise Him and magnify His Holy name because He is good to me, have been good to me and will continue to be good to me. He gives me joy and peace in the midst of the storm, comfort in chaos and strength in difficulties. I know GOD is in control and if He is for me who can stand against me. I will continue to delight myself in Him and I will continue to walk worthy of the vocation wh...ich He has set before me. No matter what happens, what comes my way, what obstacles, roadblocks or shipwrecks I will be good because He will never put more on me than I can bear. I know He will get me through and that He will never leave me nor forsake me. He is the great I AM! Praise GOD, Hallelujah and Amen. To GOD be the glory, this too shall come to pass!

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord , Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. Psalms 121:1-8 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.121.1-8.NASB1995

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all... things through Him who strengthens me. Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction. You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Vindicate me, O Lord , for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Examine me, O Lord , and try me; Test my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O Lord , That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. O Lord , I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. Psalms 26:1-8 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.26.1-8.NASB1995

And He said to His disciples, For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? If then you cannot do ev...en a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:22-34 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.12.22-34.NASB1995 See more

"What Are You Allowing In Your Heart" Part #4 Matt. 13:8, 9 & 23

And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing some d...istance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted. And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. But Jesus called for them, saying, Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all. Luke 18:9-17 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.18.9-17.NASB See more

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. Say to God, How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name. Selah. Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river ...on foot; There let us rejoice in Him! He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

"What Are You Allowing In Your Heart" Part #3 Matt. 13:7, 22 "Thorns In The Flesh"

You have heard that it was said, ‘Y ou shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.43-48.NASB

Christ The King Baptist Church 3565 S. Normandie Ave Los Angeles CA 90007 Sunday School 9:45 a.m... Worship Service 11:00 a.m Hope to see you there or in somebody's Church that's preaching the Word! Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.3.1-6.NASB

Message for today!

And someone came to Him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life? And He said to him, Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments. Then he *said to Him, Which ones? And Jesus said, Y ou shall not commit murder ; Y ou shall not commit adultery ; Y ou shall not steal ; Y ou shall not bear false witness ; H onor your father and mother ; and Y ou sha...ll love your neighbor as yourself . The young man *said to Him, All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking? Jesus said to him, If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me. But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property. And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, Then who can be saved? And looking at them Jesus said to them, With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

I thank GOD for blessing me, for watching over and keeping me. He leads and guide me, He direct me on the straight path and His mercy endurance forever! Praise GOD Hallelujah and Amen! No matter what happens, no matter what a cure, no matter what roadblock I'm not going to worry or complain. I'm just going to pray about, give it over to Jesus and let Him deal with it. The battle is the Lord's and He is shaping and molding me, He is building strength, encouragement, endurance... and character. I know and understand that He will put no more on me than I can bear, that no weapon form against me shall prosper, that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, that greater is He that's in me than he that's in the world and it is GOD that works in me both the will and to do of His good pleasure. I thank Him and praise Him and magnify His Holy name. Praise GOD, Hallelujah and Amen! So I'm going to be alright and count it all joy because nothing can separate the love that He has for me and who can charge anything to GOD elect, it is GOD who justifies me and if He is for me who can be against me. So every step I take, every decision I make I going to trust and depend on GOD because I'm going to delight myself in the Lord and He will give me my heart desire and that is to see Him as He is. I want to be ready. Praise GOD, Hallelujah and Amen! To GOD be the glory, this too shall come to pass! Love Brother Dee See more
