✝️God's Anointed Holy Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr.

I overheard a conversation between two women. One of them I moved in with to help with her disabled husband. The other warned her that I could be a criminal. I got down on my knees in prayer and told God what they said about me. I told God "I did good to her, but she returned evil". The following morning, while I was in the kitchen, the lady I was helping ran out of her bedroom into the living room while screaming, "HELP ME! I AM BEING TORMENTED BY GOD! While pulling her hair out. I encouraged her to calm down and that everything would be alright. She turned to me in anger and yelled, "YOU! YOU ARE THE REASON I AM BEING TORMENTED BY GOD! God said you did good to me, but I returned evil. She begged me to forgive her. I forgave her, then the torment stopped. 'Do not touch God's anointed' - youtube.com/shorts/wKzNei4…

The Bible Story of the Battle of Jericho The Battle of Jericho, detailed in Joshua 6, is a pivotal biblical event where Israelites conquered a fortified Canaanite city through divine intervention rather than traditional warfare. Led by Joshua, they marched around the walls once daily for six days and seven times on the seventh, causing the walls to collapse after priests blew rams' horns and the army shouted. Key Aspects of the Battle: The Plan: Joshua was instructed by God to have soldiers and seven priests bearing trumpets and the Ark of the Covenant march around the city in silence, except for the trumpets. The Fall: After the seventh march on the seventh day, a final blast of the horns and a "great shout" caused the walls to fall down flat. The Result: The Israelites took the city, destroying it completely as part of the "devotion" of the city to God. Rahab's Salvation: Rahab, a woman who hid the Israelite spies, was spared along with her family, as promised in Joshua 2 Significance: The story is presented as a demonstration of faith in God’s instructions over conventional military strategy. It also emphasizes obedience to God, as the walls fell only when the Israelites followed the commands precisely. The victory allowed the Israelites to begin their conquest of Canaan.

The truth is, there is a 100 percent guarantee that we will suffer. But at the same time, Jesus Christ is 100 percent certain to meet us, encourage us, comfort us and grace us with strength and perseverance and, yes, even restore joy in our lives. Your Savior is 100 percent certain to be with you through every challenge.

Jesus paid the debt of sin when He died on the Cross. God then raised Him back to life, proving His victory over sin and death. When you realize the weight of your sin and the hopelessness of paying its debt, turn to God. Put your trust in what Jesus did for you. His full payment will be applied to your account and all of your sins will be forgiven.

Chapter Summary Luke 11 Luke 11 focuses on Jesus teaching his disciples about prayer (including the Lord's Prayer), demonstrating his power over demons, and sharply rebuking the Pharisees and religious leaders for their hypocrisy. Key themes include persistent prayer, God as a generous Father, and warnings against spiritual blindness and outward religiosity, leading to increased opposition against Jesus. Key Sections of Luke 11: The Model Prayer (11:1–13): After observing Jesus praying, the disciples ask to be taught how to pray. Jesus gives them the Lord's Prayer (a model for worship, dependence, and forgiveness) and emphasizes persistence, comparing God's willingness to give the Holy Spirit to a father providing for his child. Power over Demons (11:14–26): After Jesus casts a demon out of a mute man, critics accuse him of working through Beelzebul. Jesus declares that his power shows the Kingdom of God has arrived, warning that a "cleansed" life left empty of God is vulnerable to greater evil. True Blessing (11:27–28): Jesus declares that true blessing belongs to those who hear and obey God’s word. The Sign of Jonah (11:29–36): Jesus refuses to give further miraculous signs, telling the crowd that the only sign they will receive is that of Jonah (pointing to his death and resurrection). He warns them to ensure their "inward light" is not darkness. Woes to the Pharisees (11:37–54): During a meal with a Pharisee, Jesus denounces the religious leaders for focusing on outward appearance rather than inward purity. He pronounces "woes" on them for hypocrisy, legalism, and rejecting God’s wisdom, causing them to plot against him.

Daily Devotional Becoming Whole Hardship is inevitable in life, but the Holy Spirit helps believers survive and heal. March 26, 2026 Romans 8:33-39 Modern society has many solutions for unhappiness, but worldly “happiness” will inevitably falter. Only God’s transforming power can change someone with a broken spirit into a content Christ follower who understands his or her own value. To find wholeness, a person must start by receiving Jesus as Savior—for that to occur, the sin that stands between him and God has to be wiped away. Then, with the Holy Spirit’s strength, he’ll be able to find the courage to confront past disappointments, hurts, and sins that perhaps left him feeling unworthy. Someone with a sense of wholeness feels satisfied with life. Hardship is inevitable in this world, but it doesn’t devastate the born-again believer. Why? Because he knows God has promised to work everything out for his good (Romans 8:28). In contrast, someone who feels fragmented or empty often has the opposite experience. He may look okay on the outside while struggling within. This can even be the case with Christians who haven’t learned to experience God’s love fully. The Lord can and will make His love known to believers who ask. And through it comes the wholeness that they have been seeking.

Seek God first. When you start your day with heaven, there's no need to stress, you walk in power. Your day is already blessed.

Jesus’ hearing before Annas In John 18:12-14, 19-23, Jesus is brought before Annas, the former high priest, for an informal, illegal interrogation focusing on his followers and teaching. Jesus defends his public ministry and challenges the unjust, secret proceedings, resulting in a guard striking him before he is sent to Caiaphas. Key Aspects of the Hearing: Context: Following his arrest, Jesus is brought first to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas (the reigning high priest). Though not officially holding the office, Annas maintained significant power. The Interrogation: Annas questions Jesus regarding his disciples and his doctrine. This served as a preliminary,, biased probe to find grounds for a death sentence, notes New Covenant Baptist Church. Jesus’ Response: Jesus states that he spoke openly to the world in synagogues and the temple, saying nothing in secret, and refers Annas to those who heard him. The Assault: A temple guard strikes Jesus, claiming he answered the high priest inappropriately. Jesus’ Defense: Jesus replies, “If I said something wrong, then say what was wrong. But if what I said is true, why do you hit me?” (John 18:23). Outcome: Following this, Annas sends Jesus, still bound, to Caiaphas. This, according to Dwell Community Church, was one of many violations of Jewish law, as it was a nighttime hearing intended to secure a conviction rather than examine evidence fairly.

Following Jesus He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, - Titus 3:5 ESV Comment Salvation is based on God's compassion, not our performance.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. - 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) Comment God always causes us to triumph through our union with Christ, regardless of circumstances.

Paul uses the imagery of a Roman triumphal procession, where believers are led by God, celebrating Christ's victory.

An Important Notable In The Bible Eli – The high priest who took in Samuel when his mother Hannah dedicated him to the Lord. God punished Eli for not restraining the wickedness of his sons. (1 Samuel 1:3) Eli was a high priest and judge in Shiloh for 40 years. He took in and mentored Samuel when Hannah dedicated her son to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:3). Though a devout man, Eli is primarily remembered for failing to properly discipline his corrupt sons, Hophni and Phinehas, resulting in God's judgment on his family. Key Details About Eli Role: High priest and judge of Israel, serving at the tabernacle in Shiloh. Mentor to Samuel: Eli taught Samuel to listen to the Lord’s voice. Sons' Wickedness: His sons were called "scoundrels" (sons of Belial) who disregarded the Lord, stole the best parts of sacrifices, and committed sexual immorality with women at the tabernacle entrance. Failure to Act: Although Eli was aware of his sons' sins and reprimanded them, he failed to actively stop them or remove them from their positions, effectively honoring his sons more than God. Judgment and Death: God pronounced judgment on his family through the young Samuel. His sons were killed in battle against the Philistines, and upon hearing the ark was captured, 98-year-old Eli fell backward, broke his neck, and died. Eli’s story serves as a cautionary tale in 1 Samuel regarding the necessity of holding leaders accountable, even within one’s own family.

The Bible Story of Crossing the Red Sea The Crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14) is a pivotal biblical narrative where God parts the sea, allowing Moses and the Israelites to escape pursuing Egyptian forces on dry land. Guided by a pillar of fire, Israel crosses safely between walls of water, while Pharaoh's army drowns when the waters return, saving Israel from slavery. Key Details of the Event The Trap: The Israelites, fleeing Egypt, were trapped between the sea and the approaching Egyptian army, causing fear and doubt. The Miracle: God instructed Moses to raise his staff. A strong east wind blew all night, dividing the water and turning the seabed into dry ground. The Crossing: The Israelites crossed through the sea with walls of water on their right and left sides. The Destruction of the Army: Pharaoh's chariots pursued them. God threw them into panic, clogging their wheels, before the waters returned to fill the entire sea, drowning the entire army. Result: The Israelites witnessed the immense power of God, resulting in trust in both Him and Moses. Significance Celebration: Exodus 15 records a song of triumph sung by Moses and the Israelites to celebrate their salvation. Symbolism: It is viewed as a foundational act of deliverance, prefiguring salvation. Alternative Terminology: Some scholarly interpretations prefer "Reed Sea" (yam suph). The event is a cornerstone of biblical history, highlighting God's faithfulness and power to save.

Chapter Summary Luke 10 Luke 10 focuses on Jesus expanding his ministry by sending out 72 disciples in pairs to preach and heal, emphasizing urgency and dependence on God. It includes the Parable of the Good Samaritan, which redefines "neighbor", and concludes with Jesus visiting Mary and Martha, highlighting the priority of listening to his teaching. Key Sections in Luke 10: The Mission of the 72 (10:1-24): Jesus sends 72 followers ahead to towns he plans to visit, warning them of the dangers ("lambs among wolves") and instructing them to travel light, relying on local hospitality. He empowers them to heal and proclaim the kingdom, later telling them to rejoice more in their salvation than in their authority over demons. Woe to Unrepentant Cities (10:13-16): Jesus condemns Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum for rejecting his miracles and message. The Good Samaritan (10:25-37): In response to a lawyer's question on how to inherit eternal life, Jesus tells a parable defining a neighbor as anyone in need, regardless of social or national background. Jesus Visits Martha and Mary (10:38-42): Jesus visits the sisters in Bethany.

Daily Devotional In Search of Wholeness Jesus offers living water that quenches the thirst in our soul. March 25, 2026 John 6:32-35 God created us to be comfortable in our own skin. In spiritual terms, humans are designed to experience peace, joy, and contentment. But many people go through life feeling fragmented and empty. In John 4:7-30, Jesus talked with a Samaritan woman who was clearly feeling incomplete and disillusioned with the way her life had turned out. Attempting to fill her soul with human love, she’d experienced many heartbreaking relationships and was presently involved in a sinful one. This woman had dipped her “bucket” repeatedly into the well of human love to get the acceptance that she hoped would make her whole. But each experience left her thirsty. Standing before Jesus, she was a broken soul and social outcast. People throughout history have been drinking from false wells. The truth is that only a relationship with Jesus can make a person whole. From Him comes living water that quenches our thirst forever (John 7:37-38). This means He meets our every need in this life. In a world marred by sin, we will not have a perfect existence, but through Christ, we can expect to live with a sense of deep and lasting satisfaction.
