A much needed reminder for most of us! Thank you! So happy I found your channel! You are very wise and discerning. Please pray for the salvation of my daughter, her husband, and my grandchildren.
Ireland is watching! That is amazing that you can own you can be difficult. Most people couldn't do that. I know i gave my parents and loved ones a run for their money during seasons. I am so glad they didn't give up on me. I am so glad God didn't give up on me
Such a beautiful truth. We were never promised a rose garden and even roses have thorns. And Jesus had a crown of thorns. And Paul had a thorn in his flesh. So many opportunities to learn how to overcome. Thanks so much Joshua!!!
wow. so grateful this came across my feed. I'm dealing with a toxic family member that everyone has wanted me to throw away... and this week I was tempted to. ...and im also dealing with a struggling teen. This is what i needed to hear. I was encouraged by the testimony of your mom and where your family is now.
Do not give up. Especially on your teen. If you stand your ground. God will come through! Ephesians 6:10-12 English Standard Version The Whole Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Great word Joshua. I have always had a difficult time with some family members mostly because I was the only believer in my family. This was a solid word for me to keep me going.
Revelation 3 15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent
When we go thru our existence leaning on human relationships to fill holes in our lives and minister to our own needs, we're set up for disappointment. Rather, instead of being self-centered, Jesus pointed us to not just love those who love us (Matt. 5:46-48), but to reach beyond that natural human tendency. The call is to love as He loved, which He said comes from a perfect heart, like that of our Heavenly Father (v.48). Paul understood the irony that, many times, the more he loved, the less he would be loved (2C 12:15b). With this in view, we very much need discernment and the direction of the Holy Spirit in order to know where to invest relationally, and how much. Otherwise, we'll suffer burn out as "time and energy vampires" drain us. With good intentions, I've made that mistake many, many times. My lack of wisdom in this has left me drained to where I didn't have to give to those whom God had truly placed in my life.

Howdy 👍 hey if you for example took a human being per say and divided it into two halves they'd look like a mirror image of themselves left and right sides other than the organs. Abraham when he made the sacrifices when he divided into halves the heifer ram goat and layed them out against one another with the turtledove (peace) on one side and pidgion on other side but not cut into halves. The 🔥 fire and glory 💥 and peace of YAHWEH (CHRIST anointing 🔥) passing through the seed of Jacob DNA blood and mixed races DNA blood adopted grafted into CHRIST like a flamming 🔥 fire and torch passing through the 💓 of man.......... JACOB 😦.......... Israel 😂👍🇦🇺
Crying out to the Lord Jesus does not mean partnering with Him. Jesus is the King. We are the servent. Jesus commands. We must obey. Crying out to the Lord Jesus does not mean silencing or emptying our mind, and it does not mean chanting. It does not mean holding certain positions or poses, and it does not mean posturing or attaining certain frequencies. No. It means confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness and mercy and cleansing. It means asking for purifying of our hearts, and for strength to obey and trust, and for protection and help. It means pouring our heart out before Him. It means asking for food and shelter and other necessities. It means pouring our heart out and being real and genuine. It means telling Jesus our troubles and hurts and asking for comfort. Asking for leading and guidance and wisdom. It means praying for loved ones and friends and enemies. It means worshipping and acknowledging who Jesus is. It means giving thanks. Asking for our needs from our heart, and giving thanks from our heart.

The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
