This is the fourth and final Truth and Action of 1st Peter in the Spirit Filled Life Bible. I will continue to do these because I fill led to do so. If there is a particular Book of the Bible you would like me to do please let me know in the comments.

The Walk of Faith

“The goal and reward of Faith is precious, even more precious than gold. God redefines our faith as gold as we go through trials and testing. Gold is refined by fire;as the temperature increases, impurities begin to become evident. As they surface, they can be removed, thereby purifying the gold, this is true with our faith as well. As we undergo testing and see the impurities of sin surface, we are to ask forgiveness so we can be made clean and pure. Embrace God’s refining work in you life; it is His mercy to you and will result in praise and honor to Him.

Action

Understand that our inheritance of salvation in Jesus is a living hope, kept for us in heaven where it cannot be ruined or fade away. Know that God’s mighty power in keeping you through faith for salvation.

Remember that as you endure suffering, your faith is being refined as with fire. Value your faith more that gold. Look toward the coming of Jesus, so that your faith, having been tested, will result in praise, honor, and glory to Jesus.

Understand that the goal of your faith is salvation”.

God shows His love and mercy to us daily when we believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. Our sins are impurities that are removed when we ask for forgiveness. We should strive to be more like Jesus everyday and we do that by listening to what God tell us in His Word. It is our instruction book on how to live all we have to do is read it and put it to action. God knows we are not perfect and that we are going to make mistakes that’s why He provided an way for us to be forgiven through Jesus. The sacrifice that Jesus made for us dieing on the cross was so much more than just a way to heaven by excepting Him as our savior, it is so much more than we can fathom. I thank Him everyday for what He has done for me because without Him I would be a very miserable person. May you find salvation through our living hope, Jesus Christ and the peace that surpasses all understanding. May the peace of God be with you.

God Bless,

The Return

National and Global Day and Movement

Of Prayer and Repentance

September 26, 2020

On The National Mall

Please mark your calendars for The Return, if you can make it to Washington DC please go. If you can’t talk to your church leaders to meet that day to pray for repentance and revival or call your friends and family and get together and PRAY. If you don’t know Jesus please seek Him out for salvation find a spirit filled church and ask someone about Jesus they will be happy to pray the prayer of salvation with you. We are in a very crucial time in history, we are in the last days. Jesus is coming back soon and the remnant church will fly away with Him, don’t be left behind. Please I can’t say it enough seek out Jesus for salvation. The sinners prayer is in the menu of my blog if you can’t find a church or someone to pray with you just pray the prayer and believe with all your heart and Jesus will save you. If you have said the prayer then you are saved by the blood of Jesus and your sins are no more. I pray that you will heed the call of God and repent of your sins. Be blessed!

May The Peace of God Be On You,

This is the third Truth and Action of 1st Peter in the Spirit Filled Life Bible I hope you have enjoyed reading these if so let me know in the comments. I fully enjoy doing these Truth and Action sections of my Bible. Reading the book and doing these has been very informative and inspiring for me as I pray it will be for you.

Pursuing Holiness

“We are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, which makes us holy. The Holy Spirit sets us apart for the purpose of obedience and holy living. Live in holiness and honor the Lord, knowing that your salvation was bought at the great and precious price of His own blood. In response to all that the Lord has done for you, dedicate the rest of you days to doing His will.

Action

Understand that the Holy Spirit makes us holy, set apart by the blood of Jesus. Obedience is to be our response.

Understand that God has made you holy, even as He is holy, so you can live a holy life be His grace and the power of His Spirit, who lives in you.

Live in holiness, honoring the Lord. Remember that your life was bought with Jesus’ blood.

Seek to be honest, sincere, and pure in all relationships. Thirst for God’s Word. Apply it to you life so you will grow.

Live each day to do God’s will”.

When we except Jesus as our Savior our sin is washed away because He loved us so much He chose to shed His blood to save us from sin and death. The least we can do is be obedient to Him and tell others what a sacrifice Jesus made so that we could be in heaven with Him and our heavenly Father and all the other who have went before us. God tells us to thirst for His Word and when we read His Word we learn to live as a Christian in this world of sin. When we apply God’s word to our life we show others that change is possible. We don’t have much time left before Jesus returns for His people so please tell someone today about salvation through Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day.

May The Peace Of God Be Upon You,

Beverly H.

More Truth and Action from 1st Peter in the Spirit Filled Life Bible.

Cultivating Dynamic Devotion

“Devote yourself to loving Jesus, even though you cannot see Him. Loving and believing in Him with Faith releases unspeakable joy and glory in your life. Spend time studying thee Old Testament prophecies about Jesus and their fulfillment in the New Testament. Realize that angels long to look on these things and that studying the Bible is a privilege. Worship Jesus; praise and honor Him. Faithfully glorify the lord even when you know you will face persecution, remembering that the Spirit of glory and of God will rest on you in the midst of your suffering.

Action

Deeply love and believe in Jesus, even though you cannot see Him.

Interpret the Old Testament with the revelation in the New Testament. Study the messianic prophecies in light of their fulfillment in Jesus’ life. Worship the Lord as you see the miracle of who Jesus is as revealed in the Scripture

Come to Jesus. Honor and worship the precious, Living stone – the chief cornerstone on which our life of faith and the church is built.

Understand that you are part of God’s chosen and special people, the church. Therefore, praise Him, who brought you out of the darkness of sin and death into the light of freedom and life.

Glorify Jesus even amid intense persecution, joyfully know that you are sharing in Jesus’ sufferings. Understand that when you are insulted and despised, the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.”

As human beings when we make the decision to except Jesus as our Savior, we are asked to do something we are not really taught to do and that is to believe in something or someone we can’t see. It’s not an easy thing to do, yet when you except Jesus as your Savior and He comes into your heart immediately something changes for me I immediately believed in Jesus and knew He was real. You can’t just study the New Testament, in order to get the whole picture of Jesus and why He came to earth in the flesh you have to study the Old and New Testament prophecies. Pray, worship, and study the Scriptures to show yourself approved. We are a chosen people God called you and He is waiting for you to respond by excepting Jesus as the only way to heaven. Be thankful that you were called out of the darkness of sin and death. Praise Jesus for the life and freedom He has given us. Remember through the sufferings you may have, Jesus is with you, He knows what you are going through because He has been there. The Spirit of Glory and of God rest on you. God bless you and keep you.

May The Peace of God Rest on You,

I wanted to share part of the Truth In Action portion of the Spirit Filled Life Bible I have. It speaks volumes to me about where we are in the end times. Christians have always been persecuted but its worse than ever in my opinion.

Growing In Godliness

“The book of 1st Peter challenges us to live godly lives, even in the midst of trial, suffering, or persecution. Circumstances do not affect godly principles for living. Whether you are being loved or cursed, you are to bless. Whether you will be embraced or persecuted, you life and testimony are to witness to the hope of salvation in Jesus Christ. Consistency in godly living, despite circumstances, is the true test of growth in godliness.

Action

Let your life witness for Jesus, regardless of circumstances.

Understand that suffering is part of the Christian life. Study Jesus’ responses to suffering, and follow His example.

Women, place greatest value on the inner beauty of the heart. Seek to have a peaceful and humble spirit, which is precious to God.

Men, have a peaceful and humble spirit; be understanding of your wife. Honor her as an equal heir of salvation, so your prayers will not be impeded.

Choose to bless and not curse or retaliate. Speak words of blessing, and be a blessing everywhere you go.

Keep Jesus as Lord of your life. Always be ready to share your hope and faith with others.

Extend hospitality with a joyful heart.

Live in humility with all people. Understand that pride will cause God to resist you, so repent and turn from it. Humble yourself, knowing that God will give you grace and lift you up in His time. Give God your anxieties. Know with confidence that He will care for you”.

I pray that as you read this you will see what I see in that it doesn’t matter what trials or suffering we are going through Jesus went through it also. It’s not always easy to be humble, even Jesus got mad and turned over tables when He went into the temple of God and saw men buying and selling. Pray for those who curse you, always be ready to share your story of salvation with someone and remember who your Savior is. I believe that our redemption is close at hand and I pray that your ready because what comes after the rapture isn’t pleasant, it will be down right horrid. Please share Jesus with someone today it may be their only chance to see heaven because no one is promised tomorrow. Be Blessed!

May God’s Peace Be Upon You,

Well let me tell you that I am, I’m so sad because there are so many out there dieing from this covid-19 and to many are dieing alone without their families around. The thought of those people not to have a least one family member with them as they pass from this world is extremely heart breaking to me. When my mom and dad died 6 and 11 years ago they had us children around, we watched them take their last breath and go on to meet Jesus. This virus doesn’t allow the family to say good by to their loved ones. My heart hurts so bad for those that can’t say good bye. On the other hand the nurses and doctors are there doing their best to comfort our loved and for them I just want to say thank you so much, I have been in the hospitals around hear where I live in Florida and the nurses hear were always fantastic with me.

So I Just Want You To Know That I am Truly Grateful For Your Sacrifices And Your Compassion!

Thank you for being there for our family members when we can’t be there. The compassion that you show a patient in the last moments of their lives is something we could never repay and grateful doesn’t come close to how we really feel about you. I pray that there are lots of Christian Nurses out their that are willing to talk to your patients about Salvation through Jesus Christ to those that are dieing so that they are at least given the opportunity to except Jesus as their Savior and to explain what it means to be a child of God. Please know that I will be praying for you and all the people on the front line as well as the patient. Dear Lord, I come before you humble asking for strength and wisdom, and The Peace that surpasses all understanding for those that are working on the front lines, our officers, firefighters, Doctors, and most of all the nurses who are the ones with those that are dieing. May Your Peace Shine Upon them all. In Jesus Name. Amen

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
I Peter 4:12‭-‬13 NKJV

Because I’m really not afraid of this virus at all, it doesn’t matter even if I get this virus, because God told me when I was just 10 years old that I would be alive when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to take us home. I thought I was crazy in my child’s mind I couldn’t understand why God would tell me that. Don’t get me wrong I would study God’s word morning, noon, and night and it didn’t matter what people thought of me until mom and dad decided we were moving to a different town. Things changed after that a I stoped seeking God and starting getting into the world and I ran from God cause I was mad about leaving not realizing that God was there to. God, you know how long I ran from You and yet there You were waiting patiently for me and welcomed we with open arms where I set in your lap with my head buried in your shoulder sobbing like a little child asking You to forgive me. Then you lift my head and said “your sins are no more, they were tossed in the lake of forgetfulness”

I know Toni Walker will be the first person I will tell, because she won’t judge me. God you have blessed me in so many ways when you put Pastor Mack and Toni Walker in my life. I also know they have no problem putting me back on track when I need it, I have been blessed in so many ways with them in my live. They agreed to become my spiritual Parents, I am so grateful that they tell it like it is and then help me correct it. Thank you! I know that I’m on the right path cause I feel that child like faith coming back and that is in part because of the Living Waters Family worship Center http://www.livingwatersfw.org. If you don’t have a church to attend or God is leading you in a different direction come check us out, when this covid-19 is over, and it will end, come see us at 1315 Viscaya Pkwy, Cape Coral, FL. 33990 we would love to have you.

This is part of the introduction to 1 Peter in my NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible I felt led to share this with all of you. Please share if you feel led. This really hit home with me as to how we are to present ourselves to the world. We can’t reach the masses if we aren’t living godly lifestyles ourselves. We really do need to practice what we preach so to speak. Because we as Christians are not here to confuse people they get enough of that from the world. So let’s led by example. Thank you and stay safe.

” Accompanying several exhortations for faithful living while in a society that is ungodly, the salvation promised in the gospel is also very much in view. The future salvation that awaits believers at the Revelation of Christ is especially prominent at the outset of the letter (1:3-13). This is the “hope” of the Christian referred to in 1:3, 13, 21; 3:15. Even as christ suffered and then was glorified, so we should anticipate the glory ahead, though we may be persecuted for our faith in this life (1:6,7; 4:12, 13). Patience in the midst of unjust suffering is “commendable before God” (2:20).

Also addressed is the important goal of believers’ pointing other to God by their godly lifestyles. We proclaim the praises of God (2:9), influence pagans to glorify God (2:12), silence foolish people by doing good works (2:15), win spouses to Christ by our examples (3:1), shame ungodly critics (3:15, 16), and puzzle former companions (4:4).

Blessing and my the Peace of God rest upon you.
