We must also remember, that we are not to take retribution on our enemies!

Romans 12:14-21
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the LORD. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

How many times have you cursed someone with your words, when the Word of God has said — Bless, and curse not?

We are asked to do the things that are contrary to our flesh! These are not easy things, but if we want to walk in obedience to the LORD, we will do them!

So, beloved — Love your enemies, bless them, pray for them, and do good to them!

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Luke 6:27-29
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

How can we do this? We do it in His strength, out of obedience to Him! We do it with His love, and the power of the Holy Spirit in us! He gives us the capacity to love our enemies!

Zechariah 4:6
Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts.

Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

As the Word above says, when we do this — It will not only please the LORD — It will pour coals of fire on our enemies head!

LORD, give us Your heart for our enemies, that me might do good to them! Strengthen us by Your Spirit, to walk in obedience to You! Forgive us for seeking our own revenge, and for returning evil for evil! Forgive us for rejoicing, when we should have been mourning! Teach us to walk in Your Spirit LORD; show us how to overcome evil with Good, in Jesus Name!

Rejoice Not!

If you’re like me, you pray for the wicked to be brought down! But do you also pray that they will turn to the LORD?

We so often pray for our enemies fall, but we should also pray for their salvation!

The LORD will bring down the wicked, but will we rejoice when they fall, or will our heart be grieved?

Beloved, it does not please the LORD when we rejoice in seeing our enemy fall! Not only does it not please Him, He says He will see our rejoicing and turn away His wrath from them!

Proverbs 24:17-18
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.

The LORD has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, so we shouldn’t either, if we have his heart!

Ezekiel 33:11
Say unto them, As I live, saith the LORD GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live.

We are commanded to love, pray, and do good to our enemies! It is God’s place to see to those who refuse to turn to Him in repentance!

The desire of the LORD is that all would turn to Him in repentance! This is the reason our Father has not sent Jesus back yet!

2 Peter 3:9
The LORD is not slack concerning His promise (of Jesus return), as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Paul was once called Saul — An enemy of the church of Christ!

Saul, was once an enemy of the LORD, and of His church, but the LORD was patient with him! He repented and turned to the LORD and became the apostle Paul — A mighty witness for the LORD, who has led many people to Him through his life and testimony! Much of the New Testament consists of Paul’s letters to the churches!

Here’s a little of Paul’s background!

Acts 9:1-5
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the LORD, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this Way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, Who art Thou, LORD? And the LORD said, I am Jesus Whom thou persecutest.

Beloved, we don’t know who among the wicked might be Saul now — But will be transformed by the power of the cross and become a Paul! We don’t know who might just be barely saved from the fire — but our desire should be that they are!

Jude 1:21-23
Keep yourselves in the Love of God, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Remember God loved us when we were still sinners in need of His mercy and grace! And if we want mercy — We must extend mercy!

Romans 5:8
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

When you look around, do you see people being used by the devil; wicked and evil people? You must reprove or expose the evil, but you must also have compassion on them, love them, and pray for them! And remember the Words of the LORD we read above — “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked.”

LORD, open the ears of Your people. Set free those who have been taken captive by the smooth words of men; of false teachers and prophets, who prophesied lies, and words not of You! Those who proclaimed — Peace, peace, when there was no peace!

Jeremiah 8:11
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Woe unto the false shepherds!

Jeremiah 23:1-2
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed My people; Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

Raise up men and women after Your own heart LORD, who will speak forth Your Truth no matter the cost, no matter who will hear or who will forbear!

Jeremiah 3:12,15
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause Mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. And I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Ezekiel 2:7
And thou shalt speak My Words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

Beloved, returning to the LORD is the remedy for a nation or a person in distress! God will bless us, and bless our Country — If we will return to Him!

If My People!

2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Save Your remnant LORD in Jesus Name and for Your Name sake LORD — And for Your great glory!

God is opening doors for our ministry and it is so exciting for Cayla and I! We got invited by the City of Wichita to participate/feed/serve at a neighhood resource fair for the homeless July 10 and August 14! This will be an amazing opportunity for us to share the love and saving grace of Christ with thousands of people. It's being held in downtown Wichita at the empty parking lot owned by the Episcopal church that kicked me off last time ?. I am certain every homeless person in and around the downtown area will be there. Only 2 other churches/ministries are signed up. Bbq meal, iced bottles of water, popsicles, backpacks with hygiene items, cooling rags, a Holy Bible, and a hug will be provided to everyone who comes to our tent. It's ALL about Jesus! This is going to take a ton of food and other items. I am going to put together a list of specific items needed. This is exactly the opportunity we have been praying so hard for over the last 6 months. Any financial, Sam's, Amazon, or bible donations will be a tremendous blessing. Planning on serving 800-1000. As always, we appreciate prayers above all else.

Please email us if you have any questions or concerns.

The Lord sent us another angel! She is donating a 2024 custom built 8.5X16ft cargo trailer for our food truck ministry! (We love you Meg!) We got to help design it to fit our needs. It will be insulated with AC, 30amp service for eventual cooking equipment, serving windows on both sides, LED lighting, and more. Bright Red! This is such a blessing for us and shows exactly what is possible when one stays obedient to the Lord and lays everything down for Him. He gets ALL the Glory now and forever! This means so much to us and will allow us to reach and serve so many more of God's broken children. And it will keep me safe while doing so.Thank you to everyone who has supported us in any way. Prayers mean more than anything. It should be ready to go pick up in about a month! God has His hands all over our ministry and He has BIG plans for it. We are so blessed and excited to have you all be a part of it.

The wicked will be destroyed and the LORD will cause them to be consumed! Though He allows them to think they have been victorious — They are not!

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.

God Wins!

This is not just a catchphrase— God really does win! Victory was secured at the cross!

Are you prepared for what is coming? Is your heart trusting in Him alone? Are your eyes fixed on Him? If not, ask Him to make you ready for whatever lies ahead!

Do not fear, but trust that He will keep you under the shelter of His wings, and He will help you to stand fast in your faith by the power of His Spirit!

1 Peter 5:8-11
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the LORD is faithful, Who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Jude 1:24-25
Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

Will you hear His warning today? Prepare your heart and your mind for what is to come!

1 John 2:28
And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
