The Devotional

What does Papa “J” Say?

The writer of Proverbs says; that adultery destroys physical and spiritual prosperity. What belongs to a man or woman is taken away by the fire of lust. What to call God a liar, just say that it isn't so! Proverbs 6:20-26 and Matthew 12:38-42, remember; Solomon wrote Proverbs.

With authority on your side a man or woman on a mission can go where the action is. With authority a person can find that the path provided is protected and that the needed provisions are available. Yet, a wise person will also know that there will be those who oppose. At the beginning most opposition is verbal, but as the mission begins to form and be a potential work of progress, opposition will take a firmer stance. Ezra was at a stand still, then Nehemiah was sent by the King of kings to resume the rebuilding of Jerusalem Wall. Our country is in need of rebuilding and the revival of the spiritual Jerusalem Wall. Some of our efforts to accomplish the task at hand have failed, but we should not give up. Look around, many of our spiritual leaders in sad countenance are before the Throne of God seeking His help to rebuild our national spiritual framework Others are standing around condemning prayer, condemning church leaders, laughing at spiritual concerns and mocking the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. But like Nehemiah 2:1-20 the work of God's people must keep moving and The God of heaven will prosper us. Vs20

The Gospel of John

John 12:9-10 The battle of truth and religion rages on through time. Some religions put Jesus to death daily and never see that once was enough because He is Risen. Peoples of these religions are struck by the evidence of miracles and want to see the natural works of these supernatural events. To see the Truth a person must be willing to see Him Risen and alive, that is to look beyond what is obvious. Why so concerned about Lazarus, he is just like you and me, dead. Look, Jesus is ALIVE! Yes, look to Jesus and LIVE. Amos 5:4-9

Jewish people even today disown their sons and daughters who find that Jesus really is the Messiah. Muslims, given the opportunity will murder their children who come to faith in Christ. The venom of the serpent steals freedom and kills the life of all who follow the Truth. In John 10:8, Jesus makes reference to thieves and robbers, note that these are in plural form, Jesus is referencing the religions of the world.

God alone meets all of our needs, life and death are in His hands, so is Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness and because this is true many follow Him instead of religion. Don't be like the sheep that are scattered and confused, be those who know His voice and follow Him. John 10:7-18.
