Matthew 11:1-6 KJV And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. [2] Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, [3] And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? [4] Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: [5] The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. [6] And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. Isaiah 35:4-6 KJV Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. [5] Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. [6] Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Luke 7:22-23 KJV Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. [23] And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. Luke 9:23 KJV And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 8:11 KJV Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. ... ... #Jesus #JesusChristSavior #BibleVerses #Kingjamesbible #God

2 Peter: A Brief Introduction to the Bible, Part 56 2 Peter is a final warning from a dying apostle. Where 1 Peter strengthens suffering believers, 2 Peter strengthens endangered believers — those threatened not by persecution from outside, but by corruption, deception, and false teaching from within. Peter writes with urgency, clarity, and apostolic authority. His message is not gentle. It is a trumpet blast. Guard the truth. Reject false teachers. Pursue holiness. Remember the promises. And live as though the Day of the Lord is near. This letter is both a shield and a sword for the Church. ⸻ Audience & Setting 2 Peter is written to the same group of believers as his first letter, but now Peter senses a different danger. False teachers had begun to infiltrate the church — men twisting Scripture, denying Christ’s return, excusing immorality, and enticing unstable souls into spiritual ruin. Peter writes knowing his own martyrdom is near: “The time of my departure is at hand.” This gives the letter its unmistakable tone: finality, clarity, and fearless truth. He does not waste words. Every paragraph is a warning, an encouragement, or a call to vigilance. ⸻ Major Themes 1. The Pursuit of True Godliness Peter opens with a majestic declaration: God has given believers everything needed for life and godliness. But believers must diligently supplement their faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly love, and sacrificial love. Spiritual growth is not passive — it is intentional. 2. The Authority of Scripture Peter anchors the Church in the prophetic word, “more sure” than even his eyewitness experience of the Transfiguration. Scripture is not born of human will. It comes from God Himself, carried through human authors by the Holy Spirit. This is Peter’s antidote to every false doctrine. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Peter #Love #Work

Galatians 6:7-9 KJV Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. [9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 KJV Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 2 Corinthians 5:5-8,17 KJV Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. [6] Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. John 8:12-14 KJV Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. [13] The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. [14] Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. ... #Jesus #BibleVerses #RepentAndSeekHim #JesusIsGod #Jesus

✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 51C, Olivet Discourse After describing the signs leading up to His return, Yeshua shifted from what will happen to how His people should live. His tone became warm, personal, and deeply practical. This part of His teaching is less about events and more about the heart. ⸻ 🌿 The Fig Tree Lesson—Learning to Recognize the Season Yeshua pointed to a fig tree nearby. When its leaves appear, people know summer is near. In the same way, He said His followers would be able to understand the season of His return—not by predicting days, but by staying aware and spiritually awake. ⸻ 🌊 The Days of Noah—Life Going On as Usual Yeshua explained that before His return, daily life would feel normal—much like the days of Noah. People would be focused on routines and responsibilities, unaware of how close they were to a spiritual turning point. The message isn’t fear. It’s focus. A gentle reminder not to drift into spiritual sleepiness. ⸻ 🌟 Staying Faithful in the Everyday Yeshua told a short story about two servants—one who remained responsible while waiting for his master, and one who became careless. The difference between them was simple: one lived with purpose in the present, the other assumed there was plenty of time. Faithfulness isn’t dramatic. It’s steady. It’s choosing to honor God in daily life. ⸻ 🕯️ The Ten Virgins—Keeping Oil in the Lamp In one of His most memorable parables, Yeshua described ten young women waiting for a wedding procession. They all expected the Bridegroom, but only five brought enough oil to last through the night. The meaning is clear: spiritual depth cannot be rushed or borrowed. Readiness grows over time as we walk with Him. ⸻ 💼 The Talents—Using What God Gives Us Another story followed. A master entrusted his servants with resources before leaving on a journey. Two invested what they were given. One hid his out of fear. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Jesus #Faith #Salvation

1 Peter: A Brief Introduction to the Bible- Part 55 1 Peter is a letter written into the fire. Not a theological classroom, not a peaceful sanctuary — but the crucible of suffering. Believers across Asia Minor were experiencing hostility, slander, social exclusion, and the early tremors of persecution. Many were scattered, discouraged, and wondering whether faith in Christ was worth the cost. Peter, the restored shepherd of Christ’s flock, writes with authority forged through failure, forgiveness, and firsthand experience with the risen Lord. His message is both tender and unshakably strong: Suffering does not mean God has abandoned you. Trials refine what God intends to glorify. And hope in Christ anchors the soul through every storm. This letter is a lighthouse for believers living in a darkening world. ⸻ Audience & Setting Peter writes to Christians dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia — many of them Gentiles, all of them suffering. Their trials were not yet state-sanctioned executions, but real persecution nonetheless: loss of livelihood, ridicule, strained family relationships, and the pressure to conform to a pagan culture. Peter does not offer escape. He offers identity. “You are chosen. You are holy. You are God’s own people.” Their suffering was not meaningless — it was part of their calling as followers of Christ. ⸻ Major Themes 1. Hope in the Midst of Suffering Peter opens with a blessing, not a lament. Believers have a “living hope” through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and an inheritance kept in heaven, untouched by earthly chaos. 2. Holiness in Hostile Environments Peter calls the church to stand apart — morally, spiritually, and behaviorally — not in pride, but in loyalty to God. Holiness is not isolation; it is imitation of the Holy One who called us. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Peter #Love #discipleship #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Healing

James: A Brief Introduction to the Bible - Part 54 The book of James is where faith meets the street. If Hebrews lifts our eyes to the majesty of Christ, James places our feet firmly on the path of obedience. It is one of the most direct, searching, and practical books in the New Testament — a call to authentic Christianity that cannot hide behind words, emotions, or intentions. James, the half-brother of Jesus and a pillar of the Jerusalem church, writes with pastoral weight and prophetic bluntness. His message is unmistakable: Faith that does not produce obedience is not faith. Hearing without doing is self-deception. Genuine belief must produce visible holiness. James does not argue. He proclaims. He does not soften. He tests the heart. ⸻ Audience & Setting James writes to Jewish believers scattered among the nations, many of whom were facing hardship, persecution, poverty, and internal conflict. These believers needed more than encouragement — they needed correction, clarity, and a renewed understanding of what true discipleship looked like. James writes as a pastor who loves deeply and confronts boldly. He addresses: • trials • economic oppression • controlling the tongue • favoritism • conflict • double-mindedness • pride • worldliness • prayerlessness His words expose surface-level Christianity and call the Church back to sincere, obedient faith. ⸻ Major Themes 1. Trials and Maturity James opens with a call to rejoice in trials — not because they are pleasant, but because they produce endurance, maturity, and spiritual wholeness. Hardship becomes holy ground when it shapes us into the likeness of Christ. 2. Hearing vs. Doing One of the most famous warnings in Scripture: “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James insists that obedience is the proof of genuine faith. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #James #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Help #Love #Work

🐁 A Church Mouse in a Snake Pit ⭐️ I love having been called to ministry. Most days, it’s genuinely easy. Most people come into my lane because they want hope, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of God’s Word. I am deeply blessed by the love and support you—my readers—pour out every day. When you tap a simple “Like,” type an “Amen,” or leave a heartfelt comment, it truly makes my day. It tells me that in that moment, you found a reason to connect with God. That means everything to me. But if I’m completely honest, not every day is a gentle stream of blessings. We all know social media can feel like the Wild West. When we stay in our lane, we are usually unbothered by the riff-raff. But as a Bible-believing follower of Christ, I often find myself crossing into another lane—especially when I see Scripture twisted, misquoted, or weaponized. It’s in that lane that I run into true spiritual marauders. Suddenly, this little church mouse finds herself in a snake pit. So what does a church mouse do when surrounded by venom? How do we show God’s love to people who lie, cheat, and steal? And yes—I say that intentionally. That is Satan’s job description. He lies. He accuses. He steals. He destroys. And he’s more than willing to use anyone who opens themselves to his influence. So— What Would Jesus Do? Scripture gives us powerful examples: • “Get behind Me, Satan.” • Flipping the tables of the money changers. • Rebuking the Pharisees with holy boldness. • Warning not to cast pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6). • Instructing His disciples: if they refuse your message, shake the dust off your feet and move on (Matthew 10:14). Sometimes, there was a little vinegar in the Lord’s honey. Not cruelty. Not spite. But holy clarity—truth without apology. So when we find ourselves roped into that snake pit, a touch of vinegar is sometimes unavoidable. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #God #Jesus #Help #BibleStudy #Truth

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? [15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Psalm 139:13-16 KJV For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. [15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. [16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. John 14:4-9 KJV And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? [6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. [7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. [8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Romans 3:25 KJV Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. ... 📜📜📜✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎 #Jesus #JesusChristSavior #Bible #BibleVerses #Truth #Christian #Lord #God #GodsMercy #GodIsGood

✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 51B, Olivet Discourse “The Abomination & The Great Tribulation” The disciples sat with Yeshua on the Mount of Olives, the Temple glowing under the afternoon sun below them. They had just asked the three great prophetic questions— questions that reverberate through every generation: • When will the Temple fall? • What is the sign of Your coming? • What about the end of the age? Now Yeshua’s face grew solemn. The tone shifted. He spoke words carrying the full weight of Daniel’s ancient prophecies. ⸻ 🔥 The Abomination of Desolation “When you see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place… let the reader understand.” Every disciple knew Daniel’s words— a desecration so severe it signaled the arrival of the final, ruthless ruler. A blasphemous defilement of God’s sanctuary. A trigger point in the prophetic timeline. Luke adds: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that her desolation is near.” This has two layers of fulfillment: 1. 70 AD — Rome destroys the Temple. 2. End of the Age — the final desecration under the Antichrist. Yeshua speaks to both — past and future — in one sweeping vision. ⸻ ⚠️ Flight From Judea “Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one turn back to grab anything.” Urgency. Not panic — but immediacy. This is not symbolic language. This is practical survival instruction for those alive in that hour. Pregnant women… nursing mothers… those caught in winter or on Sabbath travel restrictions… Yeshua’s compassion shines through every warning. 🔥 The Great Tribulation Then He spoke the most sobering words of all: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not occurred from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be again.” ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Love #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Help #Afterlife

I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 3:24-25 KJV Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Isaiah 40:21-24 KJV Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
