“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;” Ephesians 5:20
The instruction to “give thanks” appears 35 times in Scripture. To “give” is to externalize. Think about that. What is giving of thanks when and if it’s not spoken out of our mouths to the LORD? Give it.
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” Hebrews 13:15
“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE TOO THANKFUL TO GOD, BUT IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO TRY IT.” A.W. TOZER
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, do it in me, do Your deeper work. Break me Jesus, please. I love You my LORD. Take away the hardened places in my heart and replace them with “an heart of flesh” that is humble, convicted, pliable, innocent, and teachable. In Jesus’ name, I ask You dear Father. I love You Jesus.
“Yes! We need to let God break us to see there is nothing good in us. That leads to humility and the fear of God!” Karen
“We pray earnestly, O God, that we may not be found among those with hardened hearts, no longer able to hear Thy voice.” AW Tozer
Fighting Vertically Guarantees that God will take care of the Horizontal
“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalms 149:5-9
Dealing a crushing blow to your enemies – sin and Satan – requires kisses blown to Jesus Christ, the “first love” of your life! (Revelation 2:4-5) Like David, it will be the worshippers who will be God’s warriors!
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” Psalms 2:12
Seeking the face of the LORD is to be “continually.” The victory Jesus died to procure for you, to bless you to walk in, will evade all who do not “seek his face continually.”
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
The only way to get up swinging, get up winning, is to set your heart to seek the face of your Savior! Simple prescription. Do it. Your plan is set in stone. You arise each morning with joyful praise, hands and heart and tongue pointed, aimed at Heaven, lifting the name of Jesus Christ!
“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.” 1 Chronicles 16:22
The only ones the LORD is going to powerfully use to “build” His kingdom in the hearts of men, are those who “set” their soul to seek His holy face.
Today is your day to drive a stake in the ground! I’m done devil!!!! JESUS CHRIST REIGNS IN THIS LIFE FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD!
It’s best that WE individually pray God’s Word into our own lives.
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5
PRAYER: Father, in the name of Jesus, please forgive my sins of covetousness and discontentment, which are an indictment upon You as my Father, a way of saying You haven’t provided and opened the doors yet that I selfishly desired to be opened. Please forgive this sin on my part and bless this heart to be still and content in Thee O LORD. Thank YOU for all You’ve so wonderfully, graciously provided and most of all, the unspeakable, unfathomable gift of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ. I love You and have everything in You LORD Jesus! In Jesus’ name, amen.
“ALL things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” 1 Chronicles 29:14
As believers we have been given the mandate and privilege of giving thanks daily for the blessing of Jesus Christ who is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for the remission of our sins. (Romans 3:25). We can also be thankful for the innumerable blessings we now have and those awaiting us in eternity. Every blessing, the myriad of which cannot be counted, comes from the LORD our God.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17
On the earth, there’s no such thing as a content, happy person who doesn’t overtly give praise and THANKSGIVING to the LORD. Developing a heart of gratefulness to the LORD is essential to being happy – in God’s definition.
We are to give thanks always for all things.
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
“Give thanks” appear 80 times in God’s Word!
Thanks giving leads to thanks living – Living in grateful appreciation for all that the LORD has done for us!
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday instituted in America to pause and give thanks for all we have, yet for the believer, thanksgiving is to be a perpetual state of the heart, confession of the mouth, and way of life. Cultivating a thankful heart is essential to contentment and peace. Thanksgiving also displaces covetousness.
”Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
Giving thanks is also an indispensable element of prayer. Peace is associated with it (Phil. 4:6-7). Peace and contentment are the fruits of the heart that is full of continual thanksgiving. Many times in Scripture, prayer and giving thanks are coupled together.
“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2
In our times of prayer, and all day long, we should learn to cultivate a heart that is thankful for all of the things we do have – and tell God and others with our mouths, to testify of His goodness.
Have you found that when you are busy verbalizing to God and others, your thanksgiving for all He has blessed you with, murmuring, complaining, discontent and covetousness find no home in your heart? Thanksgiving displaces all of these enemies to our walk with Christ.
Are not His abundant blessings reason to burst forth with exuberant praise and thanksgiving? Remember that the LORD is worthy of your praise and thanks and that a thankful life is one of peace and contentment.
The Lack of Gratefulness is the Sign of Apostasy
“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21
“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,” 2 Timothy 3:2
—– “Where there is true prayer, there thanksgiving and gratitude stand by, ready to respond to the answer when it comes. As prayer brings the answer, so the answer brings forth gratitude and praise. As prayer sets God to work, so answered prayer sets thanksgiving to work. Thanksgiving follows answered prayer just as day succeeds night. True prayer and gratitude lead to full consecration, and consecration leads to more praying and better praying. A consecrated life is a life of both prayer and thanksgiving.” E.M. Bounds, E.M. Bounds on Prayer, p. 308
Concerning the unthinkable idea of being out of the Word of God, sister Cheri Schleicher Cearley writes: “I would be grieved in my spirit so much … I would be in TRAVAIL…WILL NOT SETTLE for ANYTHING LESS THAN SOLD OUT…PASSIONATE 150% in the WORD… STANDING on the WORD… SPEAKING the WORD…LIVING the WORD… HEARING the WORD…STUDYING the WORD.”
PRAYER: LORD Jesus, thank You for my every breath and the privilege to be Your creation and ambassador. Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, please make me to be abundantly fruitful in Your kingdom this day. I love You my LORD Jesus. Amen.

Mission Mexico Part 38
BROTHER JUAN IS BLAZING A GOSPEL TRAIL
FYI, Biblesinbulk.com (Reina Valera 50% off) case of 36 for $90 ($2.50 each)
TODAY a man named Juan was ministered to, He is born again and on fire. We fellowshipped best we could as I had interrupted his work. As I walked by, a man (Juan) was carrying food into a cafe and he dropped some bottled water. So I grabbed the bottles (plastic) that were dropped and ministered Christ to him. He immediately responded by speaking God’s Word. He does delivery work to restaurants and cafes and so he sees lots of people daily. Brother Juan took a stack of the JESUS tracts and he’s passing them out today!!! He just sent me this….. looks like I will have to be supplying him from now on, we hope right.
Juan just texted me and said “Brother, I visit the prison, and my brothers need Bibles. God’s Word never returns back to Him void (Isaiah 55:11)!”
Juan is also asking me to go to the prison with him to preach and distribute the Spanish Bibles and JESUS tracts.
So we will be supplying him with Spanish JESUS tracts and the Reina Valera Spanish Bibles (only). RVR Reina Valera is the King James Bible equivalent in Spanish.

*Thank the LORD for the 5-7 people who are financially supporting this ministry outreach monthly.
Can you believe more Christians aren’t taking advantage of this opportunity!? Wow. Okay just a thought.
God is good for sure.
The LORD says He orders the steps of His people. Psalms 37:23 amazing.
I was going to walk down another street actually, but went that way, the way, the street whereon I met brother Juan.
And as I was passing Juan the water bottles fell to the ground
So naturally I stooped, picked them up and handed them to him
Begin speaking the Word to brother Juan.
Handed him a JESUS tract.
And he immediately lit up.
He is a Holy Ghost filled saint no doubt, evangelizing daily.
The Holy Spirit in action through His body and Juan….
Here are but 2 of the people Juan is ministering to this week, within 24 hours of us meeting.
Brother Juan is ministering the Word of our LORD and passing out more JESUS tracts today. Juan just sent me this:
“Brother, they’re asking me for a Bible. Glory to God, some of us need big print Bible ” Juan
RESPONSE:
For now have them download the Reina Valera Bible in the play store on their cellphone. I can get you more Jesus tracts soon. And we have Spanish Bibles in print on the way, in the mail.
Saints, I am going to give brother Juan at least hundreds of the JESUS tracts. This guy is on fire for Christ. Holy Ghost filled. Acts 1:8 Thank you for supporting by prayer and giving. Meeting our brother Juan was a divine connection 100%. I was actually going to talk down a different street just before meeting Juan yesterday. God says He orders the steps of His people and this is one of those times He did such. The LORD made it so easy as the water bottles Juan was carrying, some of them (2-3) fell to the ground right near my feet. Those bottles were picked up and handed to Juan and the ministry began and Juan lit up and has been ministering boldly ever since as it seems he was already doing in his daily life. Yet now that he has our support, the support of the body of Christ, he is even more fervent and diligent in ministering to others!!!!
Here’s a picture below of two of the people Juan ministered to in the last 24 hours. Here’s a picture below of two of the people Juan ministered to in the last 24 hours! Juan is blazing abroad the matter of the Gospel – just as did the leper whom Jesus healed! Leprosy represents sin and when Jesus cleanses our sin, we began to “blaze abroad the matter”, telling others the Gospel.
“But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.” Mark 1:45
Let’s roll saints.

NEW ministry videos.
Antonio came back again today….
We had an excellent time listening to the Bible in Spanish on audio, talking, and ministering to him. Antonio also got some new clothes and this week I am going to order him some shoes he asked for. He told me he wants to look more presentable because he’s looking for work. He received some coin and coffee too with his eggs and potato breakfast. God is good and thank you for praying saints. Oh and he asked for shoes. Yet he wears a different size than I have and so I am going to order a pair in his size from Amazon today. Anyone is welcome to support the mission to these wonderful people.
Thank you for lifting beloved Antonio in your prayer. He’s been coming by regularly and is responding more and more to the love and Word of our God. Due to your prayers and support he’s received coin, clothes, food, got cleaned up, and some new clothes. Ordered some shoes he needs for working…. God is good.
Thanking God for those who do and also those who will pray for Mission Mexico …. support is a blessing. https://safeguardyoursoul.com/mexico-mission/
TODAY, beloved Gillermo received God’s love from Christ’s body, in the form of the spoken Word, the written Word (JESUS tract), and he asked for some food. Gillermo was hungry. So, we took him to get a very nice warm meal, egg breakfast, pastry, etc. God is good saints. Jesus is coming. You are invited to lift a prayer for the precious people of Mexico.
Your prayers and support help this and much more to be accomplished. 1 Corinthians 3:9
Jose’ and I had a lengthy talk a few days ago. He reminded me that I had ministered to him in the past. He is really searching and gladly received more ministry, Scripture and the exhortation to repent and receive Jesus. Matthew 6:33. He took another JESUS tract also and said that his daughter is now saved.
You are invited to lift a prayer to our Father in the name of our LORD Jesus for beloved Jose’ and his family.
Because you care, Clara has been receiving regular groceries and also her cell phone bill was paid, etc. God is good.

THAT SUBTLE SERPENT SATAN – NIV and Modern Bible Versions Exposed
Check how they completely removed the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:21 and chopped Romans 8:1 in half, and removed the BLOOD from Colossians 1:14? Acts 8:37 was also deleted and this is not even scratching the surface of the corruptions in the NIV.
BEWARE: The “rapture ready” website is run by a person or persons who state this following error:
“Some people are so fanatical about the exclusive “truth” of the KJV that they would doubt your salvation if you were saved by reading another version. The New International Version Bible is probably the most attacked of all the modernized versions, but any errors it might contain are subtle ones. Other folks believe other translations are the Mark of the Beast.”
FACT: The NIV removed 64,000 words and that alone makes it in violation of the severe warning of Jesus recorded in Revelation 22:18-19 … oh and the NIV is published by a division of zondervan which publishes the satanic bible and other perverted books such as “the joy of gay sex.” Oh and the NIV committee included Virginia Mollencott, a life long atheist and lesbian. See below.
As you take in some of this information, perhaps ask yourself: Could it possibly be the Holy Spirit of God leading someone to read the NIV?
The answer is a resounding NO!
Also, ask yourself: If a pastor isn’t exposing these counterfeit “bibles”, why not?
