Father Thank You for waking us up this morning, and starting us on our way. I pray In The Glorious Name Of Jesus that You will continue to watch over, and protect us from all harm, and danger Amen. Psalm 8 New King James Version The Glory of the Lord in Creation To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. 8 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! 2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have [b]ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit[c] him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen- Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
Thank you for this day's reading. These daily readings are so refreshing - it's wonderful to look forward to listening to them. You help me with the proper pronunciation of many names of people and lands - something I struggle with, so thank you for teaching the correct way to say those names.
Matthew 24.9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away,[a] and betray one another, and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because wickedness is multiplied, most men’s love will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.
Greetings! If you would be so kind as to pray that I'm able to keep my job at Amazon regardless of any and every situation that's coming up against me. Things have been stressful lately and overwhelming and I feel like throwing in the towel so please pray for God's had the protection around me and for me to better develop a sense of self-awareness and responsibility. Thank you
Wonderful reminders in Jeremiah 10 of who our God is . . . It is he who made the Earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom; and by his understanding, he has stretched out the heavens. 💜🙏💜 Thank you Justin. So wonderful to hear God's word!
Dear Justin peters, I’m upset because it seems like the church I was born into and the family I was born into which is Pentecostal all do more speaking in tongue’s so to speak than reading the word, I believe god can use people and I believe his spirit has not gone anywhere but the word of god and the gospel of Christ/ the words he spoke through Paul and the disciples is all that really speaks to me I find myself looking at most preachers and being almost angry because I see a lot of money hungry liars and abusers, I feel like the Holy Spirit is the only one who speaks to me now through the word and just want someone to talk to about this situation I have god and Jesus but I really want a brother in Christ at the moment who can understand where I’m coming from… thank you
…This might be a time of solitude for you where God shows you what to learn/see from your surroundings, situation and the dreadful world itself. Stay near to Him, talk to Him, ask questions…as though you were speaking to the person next to you, and in your thoughts and mind. The Holy Spirit lives in you and You are HIS! The world is all the dreadful things we see and hear of - even more so now, because the ‘media’ and the ‘internet’ has it all on display… Don’t be amazed/surprised when the biggest preacher (with a congregation of 1000’s) is finally shown to be preaching falsely, twisting GOd’s Word…and leading thousands on a different path!! He (the Lord) wants to inhabit your thoughts, questions, your soul, and to discuss things with you about Himself, and His Word… you are His bride and His Love Will NOt Let You GO…. For every need you have… petition Him. I know in my own walk He shows, says and gives me answers to what I need to know. Even as a lonely child, HE SAVED ME through old hymns we sang in the Choir… I was a deep thinker… and some dreadful things happened to me… but He kept me safe in HIs Arms. Yes, walk the walk, talk the talk, help those who do not yet know of HIM… and may His Word bear fruit in your acquaintances lives. Do not fear when the world seems up-side-down… and the awful daily news shocks you… Be prepared with your full armour, and keep those who are interested in hearing more from you about God’s Word…keep them safe too and encourage them through God’s Word… God Bless you, and equip you (and me) to win over the lost and harvest them to the Lord… we might help them to see our Father face to face…. God bless you…
@@Jovocale thank you, I appreciate that, I notice as I lean on god more family members look at me like I’m someone else entirely, I just had my dad tell me yesterday in his own words “ we are in two different worlds at the moment” which made me sad but also realize god has to work In everyone’s heart all I can do is my best as a believer to submit to god lean on him and not my own understanding. God bless you and keep you.
@@RideOutTheStorm692 Bless you… don’t let Satan condemn you either…if he continues - it is because you are God’s own and a prize won through the Saviour’s blood. (If you were not…Satan wouldn’t bother). That is an encouragement!! As God says ‘You’re worth it’… (not meaning the vacuous advert for women’s beauty products btw!!). At some stage, I hope your family see the truth, of course keep them in prayer, but it might be that you find that quiet place for refilling and growth!! My parents were both 50yr+ FreeMasons… another long story… but as a child He saved me (an only child) and kept me safe from harm… even as a quiet, timid mouse, I was determined to make church/God my home, and through many trials that could make someone give up on life…he kept me going…even when my first husband -a haemophiliac died in 1987 of HIV/AIDS from contaminated blood… He still keeps me strong, even enduring the aftermath of Keith’s death, and other trying situations since that time. I know, that I know, that I know He holds on to me and keeps me safe… Know that too, keep a gentle, compassionate heart ready to serve those who God shows you. God bless you richly…
@@Jovocale thank you, I hope you stay in the mindset you have, it’s a Awesome thing to have that wisdom especially in situations Like what you have gone through in your life, that’s an awesome testimony that even though you had so many influences pulling you other ways that god kept you and you leaned on him. If you don’t mind me asking, is freemasonry really as bad as I think it is ? Lots of people almost think I’m nuts when I tell them how I believe it is satanic or they don’t want to hear it and say I’m glorifying the devil by bringing it up but I just like being able to discern from right and wrong when I can. I appreciate you talking to me about the lord, I turn 20 years old tomorrow and God the father led me to Jesus when I was 17 years old and then Jesus started leading me back to the father and now even when I don’t feel the Holy Spirit in life I still believe and feel compelled to lean on him which since I’ve been doing that I feel like everyday the lord has fed me with wisdom, love and discernment even to the point where going to church when I do is not enjoyable because I see the idolatry in churches pertaining to pastors or I see greed. The only place I feel like I find the lord in his fullness is in the scriptures and in my heart where I lean on him.
@@RideOutTheStorm692 Bless you and may He continue to (which He will). My parents were always type A personalities… busy, organising, arranging groups for the church social life, so up to age 10, my life too was church/worship/music/piano/organ etc. But at 10, my parents left church to spend every social learning about masonry…??? I was so let down by them walking out for this masonry!! What about GOd?? And Church??? God gave me an in-built determination…and I was very angry, but not able to talk to any one about my parents. I found out that already 4 generations of my mum’s family had been freemasons, and since early 1900’s, women decided to infiltrate secret rituals etc and devise Womens Freemasonry… one of the branches is called the eastern star, and as with male masonry there are numerous degrees (33), and different side branches/rites. (In UK and US history there are a number of offshoots…Oddfellows, Knights of Columbus(catholic), Mormon religion is based on Joe Smith’s ambitions… he was hindered in FM, so decided to build a whole religion around FM… Secret temple worship for men resembles much of the FM rituals…). First president George Washington (from NE UK…I live about 2 miles from his ancestral home) brought FM to the US…and so too did many of the admirals…establishing FM to the North East of USA… and yes, Washington DC has various demarkations in the capital that reference Set Square and Compass etc in street layouts. Most US presidents have been FMs, top 20% of all leadership, Military, Pharma, Police, Judges/magistrates, Finance, Industry, are too. (Even Macdonald’s and KFC…have their roots in FM…. During Macdonalds Growth, the US government freely gave the company millions to plant restaurants around the world… and other things possibly??? 1. Free masons practice dreadful secret rituals and initiations…swearing oaths that they should never divulge secrets otherwise various horrific injuries and death will befall them. Initiates are usually blind-folded, noose around neck, sword held at their backs to push them in the right way to see the light… there are many variations. 2. Stipulated that at each meeting a holy book should be opened on the altar/table… it can be any ‘holy book’ to praise which GAOTU they choose…’Great Architect Of The Universe’… so not specifically the Creator that we know. Could be the Koran, A Satanic Work, Hindu… anything… So FMs do not Worship the God, Jesus, Holy Spirit that we know of 3. FM brothers help each other win contracts, sometimes escaping justice/punishments (Brinks-Mat Gold Robbery (UK)… 1980’s one of the worlds largest crime of stolen gold had FMs organising it and hiding the huge amount of gold) I was pressurised to be the next generation in our family to join the FMs… My mother held a significant role in the NE of UK - organising huge rallies/meetings/fund-raising…mainly for FM interests. I thank God greatly, with my life that He kept me from them, and of course when I met/married Keith…I was nagged at that I would be pushing him round in a wheel chair before long… and he wasn’t welcome to be a FM because he wasn’t a ‘whole man’….meaning he had a severe disability with Haemophilia… None of us had any idea that HIV/AIDS was about a year away from contaminating Keiths treatment. And when, he tested positive with this ‘new’ disease about 14 months later… my mother said… ‘…told you, that you’d be pushing him round in a wheel chair’! Being very in control of my words I told my mother NEVER to say that EVER again… (the only time I dared to tell my mother anything)… My dad has a similar story… got on with the rich men, giving favours etc etc Funny thing though, my mum developed dementia, and for the last 18 months of her life in a care home, she only had 1 lady mason come to visit her, and mum never uttered anything masonic ever again. She was glad to be in a care home in the grounds of the church… I spent a lot if time with her and Jesus in her last months and she even placed prayer books on everyone’s seat during times of worship… she knew she wanted to go home to the Lord. My father has been in a care home since January this year… and only 1 FM has been to see him - for 15 minutes… dad decided to say his hearing aids weren’t working so the gentleman was ‘wasting his time’…. The Care home is about 300 yds from the nearest Masonic temple… So when I have been giving him his mail from the FM’s -asking for fundraiser money, and monthly fees/dues… my dad has got angry and under his breath told them to bleep bleep away. Instead, he wants to come to my church, and he hopes to see mum in heaven!! May God bless him in his final months/yrs, and I know my mum is there too. But what an absolute waste of 100 years service/dedication to the wrong things, hankering after rank and position and financial gain…plus encouraging others to join the FMs…. God please bless them! We all have stories like these to tell and I have learned to turn my lessons to hopeful ones especially for those in similar circumstances… and I am also aware that even now, in fact every day…my sin is always before me. Thankful that I am not power/position hungry, and not in the least materialistic… But God most certainly fills me to satisfaction - like no other… (I am going through a ‘tired’ phase atm… just after major surgery…But still leading and engaging in worship with my church family when I can). I hope you find satisfaction and peace in the work the Lord gives you to do… and hope too that in your journeys you are made whole…(you will…as that is what God does…Hallelujah!!)
The word _generation_ can be used to convey a variety of meanings. There is the obvious and most common, the first descendents of person or a couple. Another is converting power from one form of energy into another. I think, in this verse, Jesus is saying an age of the world, the age of the church. If you consider the time in the Garden of Eden as one state of human life, then antedeluvian man, which transition I think continued until the tower at Babel, then the age of the patriarchs, then the foundation of Israel, then the captivity, then the Exodus, then the Judges, then the kings, then the Babylonian captivity, then the dispersion aming the Greeks and the occupation by Rome. I may have parsed these very rpughly and unscholarly, but certainly each age has a different sense about it. Jesus started and declared the next generation, which we are in. After this generation, the Tribulation and the Millennium and the last war, and then the final generation of the earth, when we believers all have glorified bodies and death and sin are only memories of the dark times the universe passed through during its dark first several millennia. That's what I think Jesus means in that verse.
This was prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem and The Temple in 70 AD. And most of Revelation describes these events as well. And there is no 'secret rapture'. Jesus is reigning from his throne and will come back once His Gospel has been preached to the whole world and His Church is triumphant.
The avenger of blood. ❣️ I bet the crime rate would be significantly lowered if this law was applied. Lawlessness fills the earth today. It wont be that way in Gods Kingdom. 💛🤎🖤🩶🤍
Father Thank You for waking us up this morning, and starting us on our way. I pray In The Glorious Name Of Jesus that You will continue to watch over, and protect us from all harm, and danger Amen.
Psalm 8
New King James Version
The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit[c] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen-
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
Listening again in 2024. Father thank you for your goodness and your mercy each and every day. Blessings to you all.

Justin. It happens quite often that you don't follow the chapter that is posted. You read from Matt. 24 when you should have read Matt. 23.
I always wonder about Matt. 24:34
What are your thoughts on this bro's & sista's?
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
@@joshuakarr-BibleMan KJV
The word _generation_ can be used to convey a variety of meanings.
There is the obvious and most common, the first descendents of person or a couple.
Another is converting power from one form of energy into another.
I think, in this verse, Jesus is saying an age of the world, the age of the church.
If you consider the time in the Garden of Eden as one state of human life, then antedeluvian man, which transition I think continued until the tower at Babel, then the age of the patriarchs, then the foundation of Israel, then the captivity, then the Exodus, then the Judges, then the kings, then the Babylonian captivity, then the dispersion aming the Greeks and the occupation by Rome.
I may have parsed these very rpughly and unscholarly, but certainly each age has a different sense about it.
Jesus started and declared the next generation, which we are in.
After this generation, the Tribulation and the Millennium and the last war, and then the final generation of the earth, when we believers all have glorified bodies and death and sin are only memories of the dark times the universe passed through during its dark first several millennia.
That's what I think Jesus means in that verse.
Perhaps look at a good commentary. One written by a Biblical scholar such as Spurgeon or John MacArthur
This was prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem and The Temple in 70 AD. And most of Revelation describes these events as well. And there is no 'secret rapture'. Jesus is reigning from his throne and will come back once His Gospel has been preached to the whole world and His Church is triumphant.
He read Mathew ch 24 not ch 23 😊
Matthew 24:36 says not even the son, but I thought that Jesus is 100% man and 100% God , so he must have known?
One of the many mysteries of Scripture
With all due respect Justin. Your version sure is long winded. I have the NIV published in 1984. It's much more concise.
The avenger of blood. ❣️ I bet the crime rate would be significantly lowered if this law was applied. Lawlessness fills the earth today. It wont be that way in Gods Kingdom. 💛🤎🖤🩶🤍
Thank you Justin.
Amen.
Thank you
