The Ten Virgins
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. Matthew 25:1-2
How are you preparing for the Kingdom of Heaven? How are you preparing for the return of Jesus? The parable of the ten virgins teaches us of the importance to be prepared and ready for our Kings return
The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. Matthew 25:3-4
Many have heard the Word of God, many have heard of Jesus Christ, but few keep his commandments or have faith. Going to Church means nothing unless your actually applying the Word of God to your daily life.
The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. Matthew 25:5
Ever since Jesus has ascended into heaven we have been eagerly awaiting his return. But as Jesus told us nobody will know the day and hour of his return except God. Therefor we must remain patient and stay alert for the signs of his return.
“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. Matthew 25:6-7
Make no mistake about it Jesus is coming back, God isn’t capable of lying and always fulfills his promises. When that trumpet sounds will you be ready? Or will you be taking off guard and unprepared?
The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out. “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves. “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.’ Matthew 25:8-10
Many have lost there focus, strayed from the Word of God and from Jesus. When the time comes it will be too late, they will look for someone to save them but there will be nobody holy left.
“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!'”But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ Matthew 25:11-12
Do you have a relationship with Jesus today? If you don’t know Jesus how do you expect him to know you? Jesus is a personal relationship with God, invite him into your life today and get to know him so when he returns he will know you.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. Matthew 25:13
Look around at this world, we are living in the last days. Be prepared, the return of Jesus is soon, keep watch and stay in faith in Jesus name Amen
Strength of The Lord
Faith Without Works?
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? James 2:14
We can claim to be a Christian but if our lifestyle reflects differently from Jesus, you are not truly a Christian. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we become transformed, just like the butterfly transformed from a caterpillar. You must walk the walk if your going to talk the talk.
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17
Can you truly have faith without ever proving it? Before Moses parted the Red Sea he raised his staff in the sky as instructed by God, his works activated his faith.
When Peter trusted Jesus he was able to walk on water, but as soon as he doubted he began to sink. His works were determining his faith.
You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. James 2:24
Many are called, but few are chosen. How many of us are not growing spiritually because we have no works? To have faith is one thing, but to follow the will of God is another. Consider Noah called by God to build an Ark, everyone in the world mocked and laughed at him. He took a huge leap of faith and was rewarded with the crown of righteousness by God
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:26
Jesus told us to carry our crosses and follow him, are we truly following him or just have faith in him? Are you living for Christ or just living hoping to see Christ? If you truly want Gods will for your life to be activated, you need to activate your faith with your works in Jesus Name Amen
Joyful Noise
Like A Child
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
While on vacation we took our kid to this restaurant that had its own “jungle gym”, without hesitation he leaped into the playground, playing and instantly becoming friends with other children he didn’t even know. There were children there from all different backgrounds, races, nationalities, religions, ect.
The kids didn’t stop to interview each other to see whether they could be friends or not, they didn’t judge each other based on there appearances, they just naturally accepted each other. This is what Jesus is talking about us becoming children again. As we get older we become more corrupted and brain washed by the world, our innocence is lost. Until we truly learn to love one another and see thru the eyes of a child again we are not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven Matthew 18:4
As we get older or egos continue to grow also. We blindly obtain power and importance thru our careers, but in the big picture of life our job titles mean absolutely mean nothing. Humility is the beginning of wisdom, our pride generally leads to our demise.
Children are eager to learn and can admit when they don’t know. Until we are willing to put our egos to the side, we can’t truly learn the Word of God with an open heart and mind.
And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me Matthew 18:5
Children are the Heritage of the Lord and Gifts from God, anyone who doesn’t love children or willingly hurts them is plain and simple Satanic. The world wants us to destroy our children, promoting abortions, birth control methods, fur babies, without children the human race doesn’t exist anymore, wake up everyone
“If anyone causes one of these little ones–those who believe in me–to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:6
Make no mistake about it anyone who harms a child will feel the wrath of God, Jesus issued the warning. It’s important as Parents, Guardians, Brothers, Sisters, and Christians we not only teach our Children about God but we protect our Children from the evils of this world.
Learn to see the world again as child, with innocence and meekness, its only until we become reborn again we are worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven in Jesus Name Amen
Angels in Disquise
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2
You see a homeless man on the street, what is your reaction? Do you pretend to ignore him or do you offer whatever you have in your pocket? You see a handicapped person, do you look at them with affection or judgment because you don’t understand them?
The way you react to other people, reflects what truly is in your heart. God doesn’t need to know how many times you read the Bible, he can tell by your reaction to the meek. Could it be these people you’ve come in contact with were really “Angels in Disguise” ? While you look at them with disgust, they are looking at your heart.
(Matthew 5:5) “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
“Dog Eat Dog” “Only the Strong Survive” “Sink or Swim.” These are…

Our riches are not of this world but are in Heaven. Don’t let world riches and possessions consume your life. They are temporary for the Kingdom of God is forever.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
God know every tear that you cried, He know every hair on your head. God’s Kingdom there will be no more death, sickness, or sin. The old Earth shall pass away.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
The world tells us only the strong survive, both those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. Seek peace, and if your enemy wants to strike you, turn the other cheek.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew…

Breath of Life
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
Life and Death, when does it begin and end? What separates us from the physical and spiritual world? The world believes life begins at conception but we know life begins when God breathes into us. The “Breath of Life” comes from God. Life begins when God says it begins.
The Hebrew meaning for the word Spirit means Breathe also, so when we say God breathed on us, he’s sending us his Spirit. No matter what happens to our physical body, our Spirit can’t be separated from God.
(Job 33:4) “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Job was in a dark place, Satan had taken everything away from him including his family, but…

We All Fall Short
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23
We all are sinners and we all fall short, once we realize this then we realize why we need Jesus. He is the only way to heaven and the only way to redeem our sins
But what is sin and where did it come from? Many of us when we sin or fall to the temptation of sin blame God. Just like when Adam ate from the tree of knowledge, he blamed God for sending Eve. We need to learn to take accountability for our sin and sin doesn’t come from God.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Genesis 3:7
Before Adam and Eve gained the “Tree of Knowledge” they were naked and never thought anything about it. Once they became corrupted there innocence was lost. God intended us to be innocent and live a holy life without corruption. Satan is the mastermind behind all that is evil and unholy, not God.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:7
Everything that is good comes from God. Satan will try to promise and deceive us in to thinking sin will bring you a better life, but just as he lied to Adam and Eve he’s lying to you. He told Adam and Eve they would become like Gods, instead they became mortal and corrupted. We have inherited the sins of Adam, don’t be deceived by Satan also.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
But there is good news, God sent his only begotten Son, who was sinless and became an atonement sacrifice for our sins. We all need Jesus, he is the only truth, life and the way, follow him to eternal life in Jesus Name Amen
