‭Romans 15:1-33 KJV‬

[1] We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. [2] Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. [3] For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. [4] For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. [5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: [6] that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. [7] Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. [8] Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: [9] and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, And sing unto thy name. [10] And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. [11] And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And laud him, all ye people. [12] And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, And he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; In him shall the Gentiles trust. [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. [14] And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. [15] Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, [16] that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. [17] I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. [18] For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, [19] through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. [20] Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: [21] But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: And they that have not heard shall understand. [22] For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. [23] But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; [24] whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. [25] But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. [26] For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. [27] It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. [28] When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. [29] And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. [30] Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; [31] that I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judæa; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; [32] that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. [33] Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Shalom, friends.

How is it with your soul today? Sometimes, as we read through the Word of GOD, we also read of that which was of administration. Like here, besides writing, Paul had other duties too, from scripture we learned that he was also a tent maker. His journeys also often took provisions from one church to another. Our lives have multiple duties too, there is much that requires our attention, especially helping those who are weak.

A great deal of what Paul writes on is to explain the gospel and also how to live and administer our lives. Who then is weak Spiritually may be strong physically and able to help those who are physically restricted. We all fall short from the Glory of GOD, but if we have compassion and love for one another, we can help bear each other's burdens. Some have more resources that they need for themselves alone, while some have more time to study the Word of GOD. If we stand together in Christ, we can assist where need is found.

For my duties, I have been separated in seclusion, which is still in effect at this time. I keep a watch, just as many are called at this time for the same duty. I am restricted in what I take part in, so what I receive remains to be from the Lord.

Have you noticed that the world is changing around you? I say this, because sometimes other duties can keep you so occupied that you may not have the luxury to see what is happening elsewhere. And sure, some may say, "what business is it of mine?" Friends, wickedness is like a forest fire, just like the fires you may have seen on the news. Rebellion starts small somewhere, and then spreads to upset a greater region, until nations fall and the rule changes. Is that not what we are witnessing right now? How can we be ignorant if our enemy advances, or, even as my own country sides with those I prefer they would not? Is that nothing?

The Lord Jesus Christ said that His return would be in a time like Noah, where people continue as they were until it is too late. So, don't be overcome while just doing ordinary everyday things of the flesh, without giving time to the Spiritual things. Less that wild fire overtake you unawares.

Did you know that the 50 year petrodollar deal between Saudi Arabia and the United States was not renewed? A power change in the world is playing out right now. Do you know that Russia now has a military presence in Cuba, as tensions flare in the Middle East. We are witnessing the fulfillment of prophecies as we breath. And as mankind is entwined in daily concerns to survive in a world of inflation, even as major businesses are failing all around us, there is a shift in our climate too. What is coming, will be unlike anything before and my source for it, comes from the Word of GOD, even the words of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Himself. So, do not neglect your Spiritual walk, seek the Lord your God, while He can be found.

We see the riots, the rebellion and the spread of those who are walking in lawless ways. We see the push against the governments, and soon the world will be worse off for it. While we see those who make war on each other on the battlefield, we also see strife in our own areas. Unemployment is on the rise, while people are dispossessed of their property. The war front moving even to the home, as a spirit of offense is taking hold of many. Mankind is walking in ways we have not seen before, each fighting to do as he pleases and GOD forgotten in all manners, even the way that He made us. Nothing is good enough for people anymore, and so have many become like those of Israel, complaining against God for saving them from Egypt. It does not take much to see that this world is now in severe trouble, not just from themselves but also kindling the Wrath of GOD. Even nature seems to be in revolt too.

It is my hope that people will repent, and not give in to this spirit of offense. I hope that people will not curse GOD, but I see so many standing in such ways already. In my separation, I have been afforded the opportunity to monitor this all over the world. How do people so removed from one another walk in the same rebellious spirit? And yet, all of this was foretold in the Word of GOD. And they move along, unrepentant, while more and more join their ranks.

Then, I remember the instruction of the Lord that we should come out of her, less we partake in her iniquities and thus also in the judgment thereof. So, my hope is that you that read here at least, will be wise enough to take counsel with the Holy Spirit of GOD. Do not partake in this current rebellion against GOD. Stay in the way of Christ, even if you have to lose your life here on earth for it. Do not repay evil with evil, remember mercy and grace. Love your neighbor as yourself and GOD above all.

May God bless and keep you, may He be your strength. May He lead you by still waters and green pastures, and bring your daily Bread.

Shalom

YouVersion Bible Verses of the Day

‭Psalm 107:13-20 KJV‬

(Expanded from verse 13 & 14)

[13] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses. [14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bands in sunder. [15] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! [16] For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder. [17] Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted. [18] Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; And they draw near unto the gates of death. [19] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses. [20] He sent his word, and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Additional Scripture

This scripture was sent to me by a bother in the faith, before he had access to my note for today.

‭Ecclesiastes 12:1-14 KJV‬

[1] Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; [2] while the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: [3] in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, [4] and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; [5] also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: [6] or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. [7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. [8] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity. [9] And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. [10] The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. [11] The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. [12] And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
