Subject:

It’s easy to see the Lord’s answer to prayer and not be thankful for His provision.
Megan told a woman of how the Lord brought Steve and her together. She enjoys telling what the Lord has done for her, because we can consume it upon our lusts and not be thankful.
There is nothing that compares to the highest goal, life in Christ Jesus.
Grace will lead me home. Pray believing and with thanksgiving in your heart.
We can be thankful to the Lord who keeps us safe and brings us home. No matter what you think of yourself you are a wretch, in need of a savior.
There is nothing that is too great for our God. He is beautiful for situation.
When we can believe that the situations you find yourself are no longer prison walls.
No worthiness is required!
Paul came preaching and setting people free by the power of God.
When you take heed to the counsel of God, you hang onto it with all your might and don’t let go, like Jacob did with the angel, to prevail.
If you don’t take heed there will be those who shall draw away disciples away unto perverse things.
Paul is warning us – he warned for night and day for 3 years, with tears.
People try to avoid responsibility, they don’t want to do the things of the Lord.
And when the see someone who has done it, they are offended and that person is mean.
They don’t want to be told they are off course.
They sorrow that they should see his face no more. Did they worry about what they were warned about?
Jesus goes to Ezekiel and says listen up! The sword of the Lord is the Word of God. If you reject that Word you shall be separated and judged.
When you blow the trumpet people don’t like you, they tell you that’s not love!
The church today is pure iniquity incarnate. What chance is there for people out here?
Pastors out there take heed of this, you have lots of blood on your hands.
That is why Paul warned the people constantly, he didn’t want that blood on his head!
The Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He would that they turn from their iniquity and live.
People like to think others ways are evil, not their own ways!
We have to give up everything of our ways for His ways! For why will ye die, O house of Israel?
When we get off course and the trumpet blows and we take heed to the warning then it doesn’t matter how long we were off course, we will live.
When there is a change you are going a different way and people can see it.
In the world we keep tally sheets, the people to the Pharisees who were doing things wrong were on the other side, and found less fault with themselves, so they were more deserving.
That is saying the way of the Lord is unequal. Cast off the tally sheets, don’t give it any place.
