My Powerful Jesus Journey

Hey y'all, I that everything is great! I've been down with a migraine but it's finally gone! Here's today's scripture: Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us, HEBREWS 12:1 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.12.1.AMP NIV translation Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, Hebrews 12:1 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.12.1.NIV TPT version As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we w...

Hey y'all, here's some scripture to lunch on today: The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. JOHN 10:10 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.10.10.AMP TPT version A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow! John 10:10 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/jhn.10.10.TPT MSG translation Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so t...

Hey y'all, here's some great scriptural advice: A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17:22 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.17.22.AMP This is easier said than done when you're in a funk, just choose joy. Being full of bitterness, anger, sadness, and what not doesn't lead to anything good. They are now fruits of the Spirit and they make you sick. Together, let's choose joy today! Much love and may peace be with you!

Hey y'all, here's some rainy day encouragement for you... “And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  So do not be like them [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. MATTHEW 6:7‭-‬8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.6.7-8.AMP NIV Translation And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.6.7-8.NIV TPT Version When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like those who don’t know God, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words.  There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/mat.6.7-8.TPT M...

Hey y'all, may today's scripture encourage you... Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever. DANIEL 12:3 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/dan.12.3.AMP “‘Men and women who have lived wisely and well will shine brilliantly, like the cloudless, star-strewn night skies. And those who put others on the right path to life will glow like stars forever. Daniel 12:3 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/dan.12.3.MSG We are the light in the darkness and how awesome it is to spread the Word of God to others, to help put others on the path that is narrow. To help others in their Jesus journey and become brighter in the darkness that does surround us. To help lift others up, to encourage, inspire, and help strengthen the faith of others... Let us all spread the light! Much love and may peace be with you all!

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo...

Hey y'all, I pray everything is well! Here is the scripture for today. I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]— From where shall my help come? PSALMS 121:1 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/psa.121.1.AMP MSG translation I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God , who made heaven, and earth, and mountains. Psalm 121:1‭-‬2 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/psa.121.1-2.MSG TPT version I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help. But then I realize that our true help and protection come only from the Lord, our Creator who made the heavens and the earth. Psalms 121:1‭-‬2 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/psa.121.1-2.TPT This is something that was really hard for me to learn but I did it. I had to learn to lean on God instead of people for help and protection. After my dad moved on from this life is when I really learned to press in on God. This is when I really started learning that God really ...

Here's the scripture for today The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother. PROVERBS 18:24 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.18.24.AMP NIV translation One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

He's the only friend I can continuously talk to from the time my eyes pop open until tooth picks can't eve...

Hey y'all, here's today's scripture. May it bless you! Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, MATTHEW 28:19 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.28.19.AMP This is what God called me to do, spread the Word of God to help people learn who He really is and help them in their lives as well as with their own Jesus journeys... I pray that not just this post, but all of my posts bless you and help you in some way... I pray y'all have a wonderfully blessed day! Much love and may peace be with you

Today's scripture Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/1co.6.19.AMP Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.6.19.NIV Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. 1 Corinthians 6:19 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/1co.6.19.TPT There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitmen...

Here's an encouraging scripture for today! Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” ISAIAH 6:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/isa.6.8.AMP Do you have a willing heart to serve the Lord? Would you be willing to drop everything and be sent out by the Lord? Do you have a willing heart to do what the He has called you to do (work a dead end job just to make ends meet? Clean boogers and poop and listen to crying all day and night? Listen to nagging and complaining what seems like all the time?) God knows all of our situations and although there are times our situations may make us want to feel a whirl wind of emotions, let's show God that we do have a great, willing heart to do His work that He has called us to do! Let's show God we are honestly faithful to Him! He is what truly matters! Let's put a spin on how we think about things, I DARE you! Much love and may peace be with you!

Hey y'all, here's a bonus scripture post for you! When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel. MATTHEW 8:10 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.8.10.AMP The MSG translation: Taken aback, Jesus said, “I’ve yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works. This man is the vanguard of many outsiders who will soon be coming from all directions—streaming in from the east, pouring in from the west, sitting down at God’s kingdom banquet alongside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Then those who grew up ‘in the faith’ but had no faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened.” Matthew 8:10‭-‬12 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.8.10-12.MSG This can get pretty controversial but the truth is that many churches don't teach us truth. T...

And today's scripture is: “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6:34 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.6.34.AMP I was taught that saying, "one day at a time". This verse backs that phrase up. This was hard for me in the beginning because I was taught to have goals and make plans on how to make those goals happen. We are taught to have life goals, yearly goals, monthly goals, weekly goals, and daily goals. First, if you aren't praying about any of these, they will most likely fail. We need the guidance of the Holy Spirit for direction in making goals and plans. Also, we can plan all the things we would like but there's no sense in worrying about them because you never know what God has in store which is why He only says to to do what you can today. He tells us not to worry since that only comes out of fear or it will only bring about fear.... Fear is NOT a fruit of the Spirit!...

Hey y'all I pray it's been a great week for y'all! Here's today's scripture. But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, MATTHEW 5:44 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.5.44.AMP NIV translation But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:44 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.5.44.NIV MSG translation “You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the...

Hey y'all Today's scripture: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. ISAIAH 43:2 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/isa.43.2.AMP The MSG translation: But now, God ’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am God , your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. Isaiah 43:1‭-‬4 MSG https://bible.com/...

Hope y'all are doing well! Here's today's scripture The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him].” JOHN 14:21 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.14.21.AMP NIV translation: Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:21 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.14.21.NIV TPT version: Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you.” John 14:21 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/jhn.14.21.TPT How great it is to have such a loving Father, our heavenly Father that is. He cares about us so much that He has His own r...

Hey y'all Today's scripture: Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. COLOSSIANS 3:23‭-‬24 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/col.3.23-24.AMP For me, changing my mentality and dedicating my work to God is what really truly motivates me. One of the daily things I can't stand is doing dishes, especially by hand. Once I decide that I'm doing it for God though, I'm motivated to get it done! Not just done, but done with care, quality, a smile on my face, and peace in my heart...

The Lord bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you];  The Lord make His face shine upon you [with favor], And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];  The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].’ NUMBERS 6:24‭-‬26 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/num.6.24-26.AMP Tranquil means: adj. Free from commotion or disturbance. adj. Free from anxiety, tension, or restlessness; composed:  synonym :  calm . adj. Steady; even. My life is far from actual tranquility but God has taught me and continues to teach me to act as though it is tranquil. I tend to think of it as though it's all about how we act in the midst of the storm. Am I really laying my burdens down at Jesus' feet? Am I really giving my stress to God? Am I really forgiving what needs to be and living with a loving heart?  God tells us not to worry and to give Him our burdens. Only then ca...

Hey y'all, here's today's scripture A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them. PROVERBS 16:9 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.16.9.AMP The following are some other scriptures I've collected from a few reading plans that I found to be encouraging in this difficult day for me... The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you. PHILIPPIANS 4:9 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/php.4.9.AMP And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. PHILIPPIANS 4:7 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/php.4.7.AMP Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful list...
