He blesses us and makes us a blessing to others.
Tuesday, November 7, 2023
I was told a lot of stuff that sounds good.
They said, Kurt, “Hurt people hurt people, and healed people ..heal people.”
Like that. I think I know what they mean.
Sadly, many hurt people do that.. when they instead can choose to be changed and behave wisely.. constructively, act positively instead of acting sinfully.. very negatively. For some crazy-twisted reason, too many hurt people opt to go do the same. They inherit their father or mother’s life.. for from some other abuser. Too many hurting people decide to go become a part of the problem instead of part of the solution in this fallen world.
They opt to do some destruction and harm deeply hurting their Makers heart.
How can I overcome the pain of past abuse?
I am a victim of abuse. Why do I feel guilty?
Are many practices and traditions in Christianity actually pagan in origin?
How can I recognize a dead church?
What does the Bible say about healthy church growth?
There are some spiritually healthy local churches out there too. Yay!
How can I recognize a healthy church? What are the signs of a truly healthy church?
What does the Bible say about verbal abuse?
How should Christians respond to the Arab-Israeli conflict? | GotQuestions.org
And fortunately, there are some regenerated, healed, restored people who choose differently. They choose life! They prayerfully involve themselves with the Lord closely.. who forgives the best and worst of us, who regenerates too, and who heals those hurting and broken people around us ..who want this. Ask the Lord to bless, keep, and use you to bless others.
What does it mean to choose life (Deuteronomy 30:19)?
Personally, I chose not to put it off — I chose God’s Son and the Christian Life!
I heard it said, “Safe people, shelter others.”
Remember how the Ten Boom family did that in Holland when they were surrounded by vicious Nazi anti-Semitism. Corrie lived to tell about it. She attended my So Cal church in Costa Mesa for a time.
What does it mean that love ..always protects (1 Corinthians 13:7)?
They say to me, “Love always wins.”
Does it.. in what ways?.. what if it’s too late and the person dies without Christ? Who can win him or her? None.
Man, they tragically don’t win zip. What's the Bible say about lovey?
Well, love is a winning attitude and a noble aim — love is all about selfless deeds of kindness that often win people. To win some, we must be winsome.
God indeed is love. His Message is one of boundless agape love, but not all humans want to be won though they indeed want unconditional love.. so God doesn’t force any. He honors our choices. God waits..real long even (Jesus is so longsuffering), but he’ll have none in heaven who didn’t want to be there.” Make your reservation in advance! Now is good!
Sure, Jesus loves us all and He died to save us, but He won’t make us do anything we don’t want to do.
What does it mean that love always trusts (1 Corinthians 13:7)?
What does it mean that love always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:7)?
How can I really know if "I am in love"?
What does it mean that love always hopes (1 Corinthians 13:7)?
What does it mean that love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8)?
Christ has never lied once, He never will. He had some clear statements about eternal punishment and how the unsaved will experience God the Father’s wrath:
• “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13–14)
• “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’” (Matthew 7:22–23)
• “And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day” (Matthew 11:23)
• “So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness” (Matthew 13:40–41)
• “So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:49–50)
• “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’” (Matthew 22:13)
• “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves” (Matthew 23:15)
• “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?” (Matthew 23:33)
• “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41)
• “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:46)
• “If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire” (Mark 9:43)
• “But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” (Luke 12:5)
• “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36)
• “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.” (John 5:28–29)
• “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death’” (Revelation 2:11)
See Revelation 2:11 where Jesus is speaking of a “second death.” This term is used three other times in the inspired book of Revelation to speak of the horrific fate of those who are unbelievers (that they never needed to experience):
• “Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years” (Revelation 20:6)
• “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death” (Revelation 20:14)
• “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).
What does it mean to let love be without hypocrisy (Romans 12:9)?
What does it mean to walk in love (Ephesians 5:2)?
Is loving God an emotion, a feeling, or a decision?
What does it mean that while we were still sinners in love, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)?
I want to know what God in the Bible has to say about real love!
What is ultimate reconciliation?
Are there different types of love mentioned in God’s Word? Yep.
What does it mean to not love in words or tongue but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18)?
He who lovingly “wins souls is wise” (Proverbs 11:30)..what does that mean?
What does it mean that we should think on whatever is lovely (Philippians 4:8)?
“Free spirits, in love go free others.” Is that you? Good. Go tell. God can free all kinds of people through us as we care and share ..the truth.
What does it mean that “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32)? How does the truth set us free? To what ‘truth’ is John 8:32 referring?
You will know the truth and be freed. What does that mean in John 8:32?
What are some Bible verses about truth?
What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the Light of the World” (John 8:12)?
What are some Bible verses about freedom?
“Enlightened people (via pure biblical illumination), illuminate others with pure light.”
What does it mean that God is light?
Why did God say, “Let there be light,” during creation?
What is the marvelous light in 1 Peter 2:9? What does it mean to be called out of darkness into His marvelous light?
What does it mean that he who hates his brother walks in darkness (1 John 2:11)?
“In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men” (John 1:4).. sup with that?
What does it mean that the light shines in the darkness (John 1:5)?
So arise and shine!

"No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." nlt
Decide and shine His light of love on all who may cross your path in life — what you think, say, and do matters. You and your motives matter as well. Fish4souls.org
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16 kjv
What’s that look like to “let your light shine before others” (Matthew 5:16)?

Would you agree and pray for our President and the First Lady, so that God will intervene, strengthen, guide, touch and heal them both?
"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Psalm 16:8
Heavenly Father God, We come before you in Jesus' Name asking that you touch and minister to our great President and the gracious First Lady, Melania, today. As they are quarantined at home, please bless, strengthen and heal their bodies -- help them recover well.
As a nation, we humble ourselves calling out to You for them now..and for others in the US who are ill. Please take away this Covid Plague. Make haste, Lord, to intervene for their complete wellness.
Yes, have mercy on them, on those in our nation, and in a really mighty way please help their whole family. We are concerned for all ill Americans and ill families here. Touch them, help them all the way through this. During these perilous times, these last days, our focus will remain deadbolted upon You who are most gracious.
O Lord our God, our lives, our persons, our times are in Your hands...
Do pour out Your Spirit in our Land, the healer and reviver. Please send a biblical spiritual awakening here, even authentic revival in the churches. Do it again here. I pray that your people will unite and go to their knees today for this wonderful couple in the White House. I pray for the grace to intercede for them and others in the USA who are sick with the China Virus, Covid 19, whatever they want to call it. You are still the One who hears us, who responds to us, who cares for us, and can fully restore our health to us.
You know we want the best for China, we aren't against the common people in China who also need your help. Please do heal and rescue them as well. We all need Christ today. But do deal with any evil leaders or scientists who were involved with this virus getting here, Lord, so nothing like this happens again anywhere. You know for sure what happened.
In the US turn our people back to You, Lord. Help us now to be strong in your grace and the truth of Your word. I pray that the Donald and Melania will take heart, receive Your restorative virtue, as we Your people earnestly pray. Together, we pray they'd feel 100 percent better real soon.
Thanks for providing and for helping our nation thus far. Help us be stronger in faith, that You are all we need as our main Source. (Psalm 31:14-15; 24; 97:5. Pray-er, do of course feel free to inject and continue on with your own personal and national prayers as the Holy Spirit leads you...)
Our God, we call out to You--our fortress and shelter from the storm, our shade from the heat so to speak...
Only You can renew physical health for the First Family. There are so many deceived and hateful people in our Land, how oppose them. Push back the cruel opposition and misdirected hate. They need You now like never before.
We don't know who all these haters really are, or where they have come from. Please remove the illegal aliens breaking our laws, and those who plan to harm Americans. Too much evil has happened this year. Expose and stop the wrongdoers here. Only you can stop the firestorms in our cities and firestorms sweeping the west coast, and we cry out to You to put them out. Stop the arsens lighting some of these fires.
Save the lost illegals and guide them home. Do have mercy on the legal citizens who live here too. So many have been tormented by Soros' backed BLM, Antifa and other diluted lying Democrats. Please cause the so called Biden-riots to cease. Please sustain those out fighting the fires in our forestlands. Open the hearts of the lost to biblically repent and receive Your dear Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord. Help us follow Him close according to the Bible. God, help those who are Yours to press on, to fight the good fight of faith, to run to win and endure... and to cling to You. (Isaiah 25:4; Acts 16:14)
Wisdom and strength belong to You; counsel and wise understanding are Yours...
We are not sure why you have allowed so many evil people to fund the violence. As local and state officials grapple with it, please lead them to do what's right, to seek Your help with the significant issues. If the Mayors and State Governors refuse to do what is best for the people, I pray that you would smite them, deal with them, and quickly remove them any way that you choose. I pray for our police, so they can be better funded and backed -- they have faced: continuing violence, gun fire, other abuses, baseless accusations, defunding. Please replace all the lame leaders over them who insist upon failing the people.
You alone have the answers they need, that we need. (Lookin' at Job 12:13, HCSB, TLB)
Thank you Lord, that hundred of kids being trafficked have been freed under this term. I pray more of that happens soon. Lord, You are sort of like a strong nail fastened in a sure place, so steadfast and faithful. Thank you. School districts, parents and children of all ages need Your stability today. Teachers are having to balance in person and online classes. Help the teachers not listen to the fake news media with their weird agenda. The parents find themselves overseeing children who must sit for hours before computers or electronic tablets—and some still don’t have them yet. Please help them. Technology is often confusing or unavailable these days. Please bring Your stability to the whole process. (Isaiah 22:23, KJV)
Dear Lord, our God, You are in our midst, and You are a great and awesome God...
We turn to You on behalf of our President Trump and Melania..and for thousands of others who are ill or have tested positive for the COVID (China) virus. Yes, make haste to bring the full healing that only You can bring. Protect us from those who gather in groups without masks. Keep the virus from spreading or spiking, and in mercy, provide that good vaccine. (Deuteronomy 7:21, ESV)
You only are our Rock and our Salvation......
We pray for the unemployed and for business owners who have had to shut their doors. Some of those businesses should be open already, but they have Liberal leaders who won't listen to reason. Please deal with them and provide for the people. Thanks Lord for Calvary and the empty tomb. Grant conviction in hard hearts, repentance and saving faith too. We pray that you will save the lost by Your grace, that they may find You as their Rock and Salvation and be spiritually born again (John 3:3).
Lord, please continue to provide jobs and healthcare for those who have been out of work, and help owners reestablish what they have lost. I want them to recover all! Please help them to recover fast. I pray our whole healthcare system would be replaced with a much better one, and in the future that the House will do your will regarding this. (Psalm 62:6; Ephesians 2:5)
Many need a second chance -- thank for being the God of mercy and second chances. Reverence has sadly been long gone in our Land for the most part.. in this nation gone astray. Forgive us. There's been way too much familiarity, I mean that hasn't incorporated the proper respect or sound worship that's due to You, God. Please forgive us. Lord over all in our Land, we opt to revere and follow You now.. as Chief Shepherd, Lord, and King of the nations...
Be glorified in our lives, in our families, in our leaders and through our nation. We want to be a blessing to the Jews and to others Lands. Bring about Your will about in our coming US elections, from the smallest town to the White House, let your will be done. We pray and agree for this!
You know how Pres. Trump isn't really running against Joe Biden coupled with the biased lying Media... as much as he's been running against an in your face VOTER FRAUD here. It's wrong and we pray that You'd stop the steal, Lord. Stop all the ballot harvesting and other types of fraud. Help the criminals behind this get caught soon, just like Obama was exposed for criminally spying on Trump. Expose the crimes of Joe Biden with his son Hunter even more. Let more of this fraud be caught on video as much of it already has been.
Please heal our top leaders, and our Land. I pray that our US and church leaders will seek to live Spirit-filled lives. Yes Spirit-controlled lives as they govern considering the citizens' needs and concerns. We understand that us sinners, both saved and not yet forgiven, must have your intervention now even though we don't deserve it. We can do nothing good apart from You, so we call out to You for HUGE bonus grace. Thank You! (Romans 9:5; Jeremiah 10:7; Ephesians 5:18; John 15:5)
In Jesus’ name we agree in faith, amen.

Have you been ill and feelin' hopeless in what looks like an impossible situation? There sometimes comes a time when a person might just need more than what a mere doctor or their hospital can do. Be encouraged in the Lord! God can still make a way where there is none.

Are you sick and tired of bein' sick and tired? It's been a while but I've been there before.
A. You already know. Wrong-doin’s did–ours. Yup, sin.
And now there’s officially 70,000 ways to get sick or die….yet Christ can still heal anyone. He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, the day after that, and forever (see Hebrews 13:8). What He did in love, He will still do for people until we're home with Him and there is no more need. Put your faith in Him for He is no respecter of persons in the sense that He loves us all the same.
It’s true (Man, why am I all caps here, this non-techy-blogger doesn't even know how to change it away from caps. Hah! Oh well...), but for some people who know the Lord; they wait kinda long and then "catch" if you will.. the ultimate healing when they arrive in heaven. Sure, when they see their Healer face to face. False teachers (even within some quasi Christian churches) will say it's cuz they lack faith or don't give to their so called ministry. Go closely check out the doubting and faith of those healed in the Bible.
Me? I'm not exactly sure why God doesn’t heal all those who ask Him at the time that they ask, but He knows best and does heal some people. #Ask #Seek #Knock
When your hearers are willing, God will indeed save em and He might even pre-rapture.. heal them. Why? Cuz their concerns are on His heart. He is very concerned about their concerns, cuz He loves them. He loves you!!
