“The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth. I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink; but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalms 118:24. This is the Day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.  I wake up most mornings saying this verse in my head. I teach it to my grandchildren but some days I think, how can I rejoice when I’m facing what I’m facing. Sickness, death, loss of a job, anything that causes sadness, fear, grief, hatred?  I recently realized the key word to this verse is the last word.  IT.  I rejoice in the day the Lord has made!  That day is perfect. Man’s sin introduced the part of my day that can put me in a prison of grief, hate, fear, lust, ect.  With that thought I turn to Ephesians 6:10-20. We all know it, the armor of God. That is what we use to fight these battles. Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sandals fitted and ready to go, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of Truth.  The one piece of KIT that I think gets overlooked is the last part of the verses about praying in all things and for the Saints. I encourage you to visualize prayer as you do the rest of the Armor, a physical piece of KIT that you can physically use. John Bunyan called it the key of AllPrayer in his book The Pilgrim’s Progress. AllPrayer was a key that the Christian wore around his neck. When he was trapped in the dungeon of the giant named Despair, he was able to use the key to open the lock and escape. We also have that key with us at all time. When we find ourselves in the prison of grief, fear, hate, ect we need to remember that we have the key to open the door of the prison and escape. We just have to use it, AllPrayer opens all prison doors.  Don’t stay trapped when you have the key!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Has it ever occurred to you, that nothing occurs to God? Nothing takes God by surprise. No matter what happens or is happening in your life, it is not new to God. Sometimes trusting is hard. Sometimes it is a blind leap of faith. We aren’t meant to know everything. We aren’t meant to know why God does what he does. Sometimes he may be using you for someone else. Sometimes god may take something from you, to give you something better. and sometimes, we may never know why God does what he does. But it is our job as believer to know and trust in the lord. No matter how rough the waters get, and how dark the night may become. God is holding a light and he is going to take care of us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Good job testing yourself men. It’s good to know where you stand physically.

It’s also good to think about your spiritual life in the same way. We need to look at our current state, and compare to our past self.

In 2 Corinthians 13:5 says “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

Examine yourself, your true self, not the self you show others or the you at church. The self when you are alone. Look at that man in the mirror and test him. L

We should not just rely on our feelings that w me are saved. We need to look at the evidence. So how do you examine yourselves, what is the evidence? We must compare ourselves to scripture. What does the Bible say that Saved people should be?

Examples:

Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Jesus told Nicodemus that you must be born again. Have you been born of the spirit?

“If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.” – 1 John 2:29

I am not suggesting that you may have lost your salvation. I’m saying examine your salvation to be sure that you aren’t relying on the words of a preacher, or your parents telling you that you were saved and baptized as a child. We should be able to say the reason that I know I am saved is because I walk with Christ. I know Him. He is my friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is my comfort, He is my foundation and upon Him I lay everything.

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

MOLESKIN:
Welcome to FNG – Lucille, also had 2.0 Iron Chef in the house.

Continue relying on The Lord for healing as we mourn the loss of our brother, continue leaning on each other. Reach out to a brother today.
