One time I went to Merced area and it was out by Santa Fe kind of like south from Castle on Santa Fe. There’s a women’s prison out there and as soon as you pass that you turn left on this road that takes you to Bellevue, but you end up on this one road before you get to Bellevue you could turn and be on this road that’s called. Fox Rd and I randomly went down there one time probably around one or two in the afternoon and I was expecting this guy’s house and it was him and his buddy. And we ended up talking for a little while about God and then he just said well you know what you need to come in here and eat supper with us. It was just weird because we got out the soup and the bread and had everybody had a bowl of soup and a piece of bread too, and we just talked about God and prayed and all kinds of stuff even more and you know there’s just moments. That’s what my life’s all about. I don’t have a care in the world anymore. God took it all the way I have more now than I ever had And it’s not things it’s like I’m just surrounded by God bubbles It’s like every minute of every day every week every month every year anytime I want any moment like any natal second, I could just stop and say where’s God Because there’s nowhere that I looked at, he’s not It’s like where’s Waldo in real time

@staleyexpress I love this so much!!!! Thank you for sharing all of this :) God has written some interesting stories in my life too and had me meet people at just the right moment for His purposes.

Who around you needs the love of Jesus in the way you can uniquely offer it?

There is no other way But to put your trust in the Lord Jesus What you know about Jesus is what you know about God and what you know about the word that became flesh that’s found in the Bible and the Bible alone is what you know about God in us is the word that became flesh The new flesh

I could tell you a story after story of random Devine appointments that God On Friday, I went to someone’s house in Manteca and it was a lady in her husband. They are getting ready to buy a house from their cousin and I could just tell they wanted me to say something about God. And when I did, we prayed before I left And then in Stockton, there was no talking about God, but there was kindness and they knew Then I ended up in Turlock talking to a guy 89 years old who had Christian memorabilia all over the house and was glad to pray with somebody And then, Saturday morning in Vallejo, that guy was excited when I started talking about God We ended up praying together too It happens all the time You never know when you meet somebody for just five minutes 10 minutes. Realize they just need a good word and to not hold back and just say something and then you walk away and you know God use that to encourage them and then that encourages me as well. That’s why I love about my job. I meet anywhere from 5 to 25 people a week that I may never see you again and it’s my one chance to speak up That’s why I’ve been filling my head with the word of God every day, listening to the same podcast, reading the word along with it Just building up and filling up with God Pretty soon it’s like a volcano of love coming out of my heart And nobody can deny I like that song, but instead of he’s a jolly good fellow You say He’s a Godly filled fella And nobody can deny

@staleyexpress I love His ways!

How cute are these for a baby shower?!

If your idea of parenting is making sure that your child does not get a childhood because of your control freak attitude, you’re not parenting. You’re playing God.

In Revelation 13:16 it says that the Mark of the Beast can be received in the Forehead or the Hand. What does this mean? The Bible always interprets itself, its symbolism. (Deuteronomy 6:8 & 11:18 / Exodus 13:9 & 13:16) The Forehead: Represents the mind, intellect, and internal belief system. Receiving the mark here means a person has mentally accepted, agreed with, or devoted their loyalty to the beast. These think they are serving God, but are really serving the Antichrist and Satan. The Hand: Represents strength, labor, commerce, and external actions. Receiving the mark here means the person is carrying out the work of the beast system, practicing its commands, or complying outwardly to survive financially. These don't really believe in it but do so to continue buying and selling.

@M2Jrh It depends on the individuals metabolism For some people they’re right But not everybody I know a guy that I used to work with long time ago and he passed out outside and the doctor told him he needs more salt

Doctors been telling us that salt is bad for us. Is that a lie?

@musings_blonde Those are awesome!

And behold, a woman comes to meet him, dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart. She is boisterous and rebellious, her feet do not remain at home; she is now in the streets, now in the squares, and lurks by every corner. So she seizes him and kisses him and with a brazen face she says to him…with her many persuasions she entices him; with her flattering lips she seduces him. Suddenly he follows her as an ox goes to the slaughter until an arrow pierces through his liver…so he does not know that it will cost him his life. Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth. Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths. For many are the victims she has cast down, and numerous are all her slain. Her house is the way to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death. Proverbs 7:10-13, 21-23

@notjudgin 🙂🙃👊😎🛐

@italiathetruth @mrshu51 They do… They’re so busy laughing at themselves they can’t even see straight…

@mrshu51 🤣 you constantly deny the evidence.

Jesus is the only way.

@Klabouzaazyp @italiathetruth I see you got a good job Enjoy it while you can

@italiathetruth Jesus is not God. That is false Christian dogma and makes no sense.

Now that I've met 2 mutuals IRL, I can say I'm more encouraged than ever about doing that. Cousin Ben and I talked about how there's just not a lot of mutuals on 𝕏 in the Dallas area. However, I'm going to keep trying to do more of this! I loved it, and I'm no quitter!

It’s been 2 years Corey, you would be proud of your family for channeling their grief into service for Our Community to Honor your Memory! 🙏🇺🇸🕊️♥️ #HometownHero 🫡

Let’s 🙏 Pray

Why Doesn't God Go Straight to the New Heaven and New Earth? Because before eternity... the King must reign. "For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death." (1 Corinthians 15:25–26) Most Christians can describe two future events: • Christ's glorious return. • The New Heaven and the New Earth. But between those two events lies one of the most remarkable—and least understood—periods in all of Scripture: A thousand-year Kingdom. Why doesn't God simply defeat evil and usher in eternity? Because the Millennial Kingdom is not an unnecessary delay. It is God's public demonstration of His glory, His faithfulness, and His purposes for creation. Scripture presents this Kingdom as a unique period in redemptive history. It is neither the present Church Age nor the eternal state, but the glorious bridge between Christ's return and the New Heaven and New Earth. Notice how these passages describe a Kingdom that simply doesn't fit anywhere else. 👑 God Publicly Exalts His King The prophets foretold a visible reign of the Messiah over the nations. "The government will be on His shoulders." (Isaiah 9:6) "The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David... and He will reign over Jacob forever." (Luke 1:32–33) "Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession." (Psalm 2:8) "You will rule them with an iron scepter." (Psalm 2:9) "He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped Him." (Daniel 7:14) "They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4) This is the promised Son of David reigning over the earth. An iron scepter implies real authority exercised over real nations. That fits neither the present age nor the eternal state, but perfectly complements the Kingdom described by the prophets and Revelation. 📜 God Publicly Fulfills His Covenants Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly declares His covenant faithfulness. "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant." (Genesis 17:7) "If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night... then My covenant with David... may also be broken." (Jeremiah 33:20–21) "The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." (Romans 11:29) The Kingdom is where God publicly demonstrates that not one covenant promise has failed. 🇮🇱 God Publicly Restores Israel The prophets consistently describe Israel restored under her Messiah. "I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land." (Ezekiel 36:24) "David My servant shall be king over them." (Ezekiel 37:24) "They shall live in the land that I gave to Jacob." (Ezekiel 37:25) "I will make a covenant of peace with them... My dwelling place shall be with them." (Ezekiel 37:26–27) "At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD." (Jeremiah 3:17) "The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem." (Micah 4:2) Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Micah, Zechariah, Daniel, and John all point to the same coming Kingdom. 🌎 God Publicly Blesses the Nations The Kingdom fulfills God's promise to bless the nations through Israel's Messiah. "All nations will stream to it." (Isaiah 2:2) "Everyone who survives... will go up year after year to worship the King." (Zechariah 14:16) "Many peoples and powerful nations will come to seek the LORD Almighty in Jerusalem." (Zechariah 8:22) "Ten men... will take firm hold of one Jew and say, 'Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.'" (Zechariah 8:23) The nations still exist. Pilgrimages still occur. There is still accountability. That cannot describe the eternal state. 🌿 God Publicly Restores Creation The curse is dramatically restrained as creation flourishes beneath its rightful King. "The wolf will live with the lamb." (Isaiah 11:6) "The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9) "The desert will rejoice and blossom." (Isaiah 35:1) "The creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay." (Romans 8:21) Creation itself longs for this day. ❤️ God Publicly Demonstrates Humanity's Greatest Need The Millennium forever silences the claim that mankind simply needs better leaders, better laws, or a better environment. During Christ's reign, Satan is bound. Justice fills the earth. Peace reaches the nations. Glorified saints reign with Him. Yet ordinary mortals still build homes, plant vineyards, raise families, and live remarkably long lives. "They will build houses and dwell in them." (Isaiah 65:21) "The one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child." (Isaiah 65:20) Death still exists. That cannot be the eternal state. Then comes one of the most astonishing passages in Scripture: "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released... and will go out to deceive the nations." (Revelation 20:7–8) Even under the perfect King, many still rebel. Why? Because humanity's deepest problem has never been its environment. It has always been the heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things." (Jeremiah 17:9) "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you." (Ezekiel 36:26) "You must be born again." (John 3:7) Jeremiah diagnosed the problem. Ezekiel promised the cure. Jesus proclaimed the necessity. The Millennial Kingdom proves it. 📖 A Kingdom That Doesn't Fit Anywhere Else Christ reigns from David's throne. The nations stream to Jerusalem. Creation flourishes. Death is greatly diminished—but still exists. Satan is bound. Yet rebellion has not completely disappeared. That is not the world we live in today. Yet it cannot be the eternal state, for Scripture declares: "There will be no more death." (Revelation 21:4) "No longer will there be any curse." (Revelation 22:3) "I did not see a temple in the city." (Revelation 21:22) So where do these passages belong? Exactly where Revelation 20 places them. So Why Doesn't God Go Straight to the New Heaven and New Earth? Because before eternity... The King must reign in Jerusalem. God must publicly fulfill every covenant. Israel must be restored. The nations must be blessed. Creation must be renewed. And humanity's need for a new heart must be demonstrated once and for all. Every covenant finds its public vindication. Every promise to Abraham. Every promise to David. Every promise to Israel. Every promise concerning the Messiah. Every promise to the nations. Every promise concerning creation. Not one will fail. As Arnold Fruchtenbaum writes, "The Messianic Kingdom is the culmination of all the biblical covenants and prophetic promises concerning Israel, the nations, and the Messiah." Daniel saw that glorious day centuries before Christ's first coming: "He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." (Daniel 7:14) "The kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." (Daniel 7:27) "The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this." (Isaiah 9:7)
