PEOPLE ARE STUPID! Insulting? Only to the foolish.
BELOVED: to insult is also to challenge. Ergo: we are to rebuke and challenge people with the love and wisdom of Christ Jesus in order that they may receive the full blessings of God.
Just be ready to receive correction when you need it!
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Beloved: you are. You are loved by God and His children. one of whom is me! Truly I tell you, I wish someone would have told me way sooner I was stupid! I was a fool for I did not love God nor think I needed Him! STUPID! Often I have told people I’m so thankful I didn’t die in my twenties… Friends: I would have gone straight to Hell!
When Jesus Christ says: “Did I not tell you?…” in our everyday vernacular that would be… “I told you so!”
Selah.
Foolish, argumentative people don’t like to be challenged: but we need to love them enough to let them get wrongfully mad at us!
Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
Children of God are to speak out for holiness: this blesses God, yourself and those who are willing to receive!
1 Peter 2:15
For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.
During the dark and wicked celebration of Halloween it is so very easy to see it is satan’s high holy day. Educate yourself and learn about the occult (to a point.) But don’t get so interested in it that you see it as delightful in a devilish way. satan is real, horror is real. But praise be to God light has overcome darkness, the darkness is passing away; and in the meantime, it has to flee at the name of Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
This beautiful month of October in Minnesota is one our favorites! The leaves are breathtakingly splendid and may remind you of Joseph’s coat of many colours! Pumpkins are used in cakes, pies, bars, bread and one of my favorites: lattes! Some of our Minnesota trees reminds us of the burning bush where Moses experienced that wonderful fear of the LORD God Almighty!
As this month goes on… come to the light and deny the dark side! He is waiting!
God in Heaven,
I come to You in the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus. I have sinned. I believe and know that Jesus is God. He lived a sinless life, took all my sickness and infirmities and died on the cross for my sins. I believe and know that He was raised from the dead so I might be saved and have eternal life in Your Kingdom.
Jesus, I ask you to be my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of my sins and wash them away with Your holy blood – never to be remembered again.
I will now strive to live my life for You to my best ability and with the help of You, Holy Spirit. I strive to seek You, study You and worship You all the days of my life, which are forever, amen!
I denounce satan and his kingdom now and forevermore!
I also ask to be baptized in You, Holy Spirit, with the evidence of this by praying in other tongues, my heavenly language. (To receive your heavenly language – take it by faith – just as you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Simply start speaking syllables – do not say anything in your known language/s. It WILL come – just believe. satan will tell you it is false – never listen to the father of lies. Pray in tongues every day!)
Thank You, God, for forgiving me, cleansing me, staying with me and praying with me.
In Jesus name, I pray this, amen.
SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Romans 10:9-10
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED! YOU MUST CONTINUE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A CHILD OF GOD!
LIVE THIS WAY:
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
Revelation 3:5
He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
I TOLD YOU SO!
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
