For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Memorize this scripture. Spirits are illegal and you can make them go into outer darkness in Jesus name.
Can you share with us what's troubling you? I'm sure there's someone that can help.
God bless you.
Please considering reflecting on Matthew 6:33, Joshua 24:15, Psalms 55:22-23, John 16:33.
God, if you care enough to know the number of hairs on our heads ( Luke 12:7), then you care for our finances too. So Lord, according to your word, give us our daily bread ( Matthew 6:11). Provide the financial resources to meet our earthly needs.
I thank you that the righteous are never forsaken, nor do their children beg for bread ( Psalm 37:25). You will not let us lack or go hungry. I thank you that every need is met and that there is no need among us ( Acts 4:34). You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides ( Genesis 22:14).
The prayers of a righteous man, availeth much. I ask in Jesus Name that You will provide for all of Johns needs throughout this crisis. Allow him to fellowship here until YOU return to Earth.
John, let your Church know you need to keep your phone. Target Stores have cheaper cell phones, which if you are a member of AARP, you get a discount with the service. Cricket which is of ATT, but is less expensive; why not Google them. Ask God for favor.
I love you in Jesus, Streetpreacher
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Colossians 3:8 - But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.thee.
Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and money.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (Read More...)
Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
1 John 5:13-17 - These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (Read More...)
I want to encourage you to go to Intouch Ministries online. The information below was from a daily devotion. They have many great things for you to watch or read that will help you with the issues you described in your post.
God Bless you.
Philippians 4:4-9
We live in a culture inundated with anxiety and fear, where people make a habit of worrying because it provides a false sense of control. But Christians don't have to give in to these feelings, as we have a Savior who has promised us His peace, "which surpasses all comprehension" ( Phil. 4:7). Thankfully, there are a couple of practices we can employ to guard against worry.
First, we must be careful about what we allow to fill our mind-listening to the many purveyors of doom and gloom can easily lead to fear, anxiety, or panic. If you become agitated after hearing the news, listening to podcasts, or reading social media, it's time to take a break. Instead, do what Paul encourages in today's passage: Think about whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, commendable, and praiseworthy ( Phil. 4:8).
Another source of worry is materialism. The more we have, the more we fret about what might happen to our possessions and financial security. But Jesus warned against storing up treasure on earth ( Matthew 6:19-20). Instead, we should seek first God's kingdom and righteousness and trust Him to provide for our needs ( Matthew 6:33). If we'll put Him first, worry won't gain a foothold in our lives.
I came across a few words last night but did not note who wrote them unfortunately. Just to prove it to myself and others who may not yet see this. Do i have to get a little personal.
Jumped out of bed last night with the worst leg cramp i've ever had. All the way from the hip down to the foot. The leg was completely twisted and the foot protruded to the left. And the back of the thigh exploded so badly that i thought now the knee goes in two. It lasted for 10-15 minutes, i was speechless and began to cry from the pain this caused.
Finally i cried out: - Jesus all we have comes from You! Thank You Jesus.
Remember that we are spiritual beings no longer in our own body. Galatians 2:20 Jesus Is there all things belong to Him, who will have the honor forever.
Then in the morning i open the Bible and look in Acts 19:11-20 It reminded me of the words yesterday. Everything that happens, whether it is evil or good, is to the Glory of God. He lets no one get anything they should have said/done/ if He dont want us to have a good time, we dont get it! He teaches us that we are toddlers sometimes. We become answer guilty, and maybe we get confused for a while because we want it to be the way we think. That is:
The Lord always has the last word. The sooner we realize and admit it, the better we will get. So when we experience trials as in this case, because it happened when i understood that everything is from the Lord. My home flew through my head tonight, in that sense too. Troubles me night and day. Just like the cramps that come daily if i am not careful to save myself. I disagree with my self and want it the way i want. Therefore, this does not escape me, because I must admit that the Lord has and will always have the last word! Matthew 6:34 Does it not? Its solved now. Thank you for your attention, stay blessed in Jesus' name.

Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD."
Philippians 2:15 "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of GOD, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."
1John 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of GOD: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
Matthew 5:16, Luke 8:19, Matthew 23:9, John 20:17, John 4:23, John 16:28, Matthew 6:7-34 did you notice how many times GOD is referenced as "our, your Father " in that portion of chapter 6? Matthew 7:11,
Mark 3:33-35,
1John 3, Romans 8:29,
Contrast = John 8:41-47, 1John 2:23, Matthew 3:9
Hopefully these are all helpful in your study
Why would Jesus followers and worshippers of God be left to suffer in tribulation when we are already changed. My guess is without insult is the Rapture non believers need to study more. The more I dug in with reading the Bible, praying on knees and going to church the more I heard the voice of the Lord. As a child I noticed after memorizing the prayers I heard His voice and he put on me to believe every word of the Bible. I knew never ever argue with the Bible, the Spirit fed me that always. You have to believe to feel or hear the Spirit confirm. The Bible comes alive when you know who you belong too. The Spirit has never once pointed out do not believe this verse. God is love and he wants you to love him, honor him, obey him. He wants to save you and he wants you to be ready for Jesus coming for his very own, we will meet the dead and the Lord in the air, 1 Thess4:17. Then when Jesus returns to wage war we will be with him. When you know God you know his promises to never leave you nor forsake you. When heaven opens and the Lamb of God comes to wage war, he will accompanied by his called and chosen and faithful ones, Revelation 17:14. Any doubt in your mind then work on being called and chosen and being a faithful one. Do right in His sight and believe. GBY
Matthew 6:33 tells us:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Are you born again by the Spirit of God? If not - believe the Gospel, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for your/our sins! HalleluJAH!
If you are born again - cast this care on the Lord. Get busy seeking a relationship with Jesus in your personal life and fulfill those things that He has for you to do; as God is first in your life...not just to 'get something' from Him, but because you fear Him, love Him, and want to honor Him - He really does supply the needs.
"I am the Lord your God, you shall have NO other gods before Me." He must be number one in our lives. The Lord deserves to be number one in our lives! Amen!!
Grace to you, in Jesus, Mama..
Matthew 6:9-13 gives us the principles of prayer. This is known as the "Lord's Prayer" theologically, but in reality it is called the Disciples Prayer because Jesus is teaching the disciples to pray. The real Lord's Prayer is found in John Chapter 17 where Jesus prayed in intercession for His people to the Father. That is the real Lord's Prayer. It is His prayer. This is the prayer for the Disciples in Matthew Chapter 6.
There is another version in Luke Chapter 11 Verses 2 through 4, but it is a different presentation from what we have here in Matthew. In Luke there are no Hebraisms because Luke's Gospel was written to the Gentiles.
For instance the first one is "Our Father, which art in heaven." Luke, even in the oldest manuscripts, it is just "Our Father." There is no phrase, in heaven.
So basically Jesus again taught the same principles, but one in Jewish form and one in Greek form. And so you can see that it was not used as a formula for reciting, where everybody gets up and we say the same prayer all the time every week. It is not a formula prayer! But there are principles that Jesus laid down to teach us. He says, you want to know how to pray? Here is what you do.
What was happening in this Church, was that when they came together, many of them came with the intent of gorging themselves with food. So two problems were occurring here: when others came to receive their food there was little or nothing left for them, showing their thoughtlessness. These same people also showed little regard for the reason of coming together; not just for Christian fellowship but to consider the worth of their salvation through the partaking of the emblems. This meant that there should be no frivolous talk & jesting but a sombre air pervading, as this time involved contemplation, giving of thanks & praise for 'so great salvation'. Yet, this mattered little to some - food was the great attraction.
Today, we may not have a similar scenario to that of the early Church, as we receive only a morsel of bread & drink from the cup, in memory of Jesus' Death. But it remains that some would come & partake not giving due consideration for that occasion. The Lord dealt heavily & speedily with those erring ones & one can only wonder whether a similar judgement isn't also meted out today. Some today believe that these verses show that unbelievers shouldn't partake at the Lord's Table. Yet, I see that it is the Church that is spoken of, where the unsaved wouldn't normally gather. So to be 'worthy', one would need to come to the Table with their hearts & minds properly focussed on the worth of the special occasion, & not flippantly, careless in sin, or distracted by anything else. The call is for introspection (examine oneself), so that we will not be examined by the Lord.
Those things you SEEK.
Knowing the WILL of God answers what YOU SEEK.
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom come. Thy WILL BE DONE.
Luke 17:21 ....Behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.
Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery ......Christ in you .....
1 John 5:11 This is the record, that God hath GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, and THIS LIFE is his SON (the Holy Ghost).
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (Christ in you, eternal LIFE) that WORKETH IN YOU (you are his body and he is the LIFE, not you, him) both TO WILL and TO DO his (the LIFE's) good pleasure.
John 14:6 ....I am truth and life ....
Christ himself, in the form of the Holy Ghost, THE SEED of God, is the Life in YOU, causing you HIS BODY to Do his good pleasure.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God (truth and life) doth not commit sin, for HIS SEED remaineth in him (you, his body), and he (you, his body) cannot sin, because he (you, his body) is born of God.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come (it's HERE, Christ in you), thy will be done.
Peace has arrived.
Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit (Christ's LIFE) in you, and CAUSE you (my body) to walk in my statutes, and to keep my commandments and DO THEM.
Hebrews 4:10 For he (the body of Christ) that has entered into MY REST (God's Kingdom, Christ's Life)) has CEASED from his OWN WORKS .....
God Bless You.
In another sense; we are not supposed to not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing ( Matthew 6:3). Just as we are to have open hands; not closed fists when it comes to our possessions; our body is the Temple of the Lord in a sense; and we are to submit our members to His Lordship ( Romans 6:13 loosely translated). We were bought with a price; not of our own.
Nonetheless; true repentance although given by God who puts the desire in our heart to turn to serving and worshipping Him; our part is to die to self. This separates the true believer from those who are not producing fruit but for a time part of the church (as a useless member of the vine). So; mortifying the deeds of the flesh involves a continuing sanctification process which starts at the day of our salvation; and is continued until our death or the rapture. Even saved people grow at different rates; and are subject to falling into sin. He chastises all He loves ( Heb. 12:6); but not the goats.
Part 2.
In 1 Corinthians 2, Paul uses the word natural to refer to someone still in his original (sinful) state. The Greek word psuchikos ("natural") can be defined as "animal," as opposed to "spiritual." Natural men are those who are occupied with the things of this material world to the exclusion of the things of God. They are led by instinct rather than by the Spirit of God. They intuitively choose sin over righteousness. They are the "pagans" Jesus refers to in Matthew 6:32 who only seek after the things of this world.
The supernatural work of God is to change the natural man into a spiritual one. When a person trusts Christ, God exchanges what is natural (received from Adam) for what is spiritual (received from Christ). "As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive" ( 1 Corinthians 15:22). The Christian life is, therefore, a supernatural one. We do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit ( Romans 8:1). Interesting find.
Back to 1 Corinthians 1:18. For the preaching of the cross is TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
If you notice, them that perish doesn't have much to say about the preaching of the cross! Why? Because it's foolishness to them.
To us which are saved our Hope, Redemption, and Salvation is tied to it,
Here's how the natural Man/Tares voids out the productivity of the cross in their false teachings.
God Love is on display when I slew his only begotten Son in our place, So there must be a damnable consequence to those who don't accept "This sacrifice"
He'll would have to be a real place for those who don't receive Christ. or the Love of God on display would be in vain!!
They say there is no Hell and all will go to Heaven by fire!
They replace the productivity of the cross with the fire prescribed for Satan as the means by which we are saved!
1 Corinthians 2:14.
God bless.
Please reflect on Psalms 18:2, Psalms 46:1, Psalms 121, Matthew 6:33.
God bless u in Jesus name, love u in Christ.
Never give up pray always in spirit. And pray special that the Lord help u to not fall in temtatiin.
* To tell someone in authority that has no fear of GOD, sometimes makes the problem worse!
1st know: Jesus knows better than anyone what it's like to be wrongfully bullied! Pray to The Father for help in Jesus Name: Matthew 6:5-34, John 14:13, Isaiah 53,
1Peter 2:19-25,
2nd if you have kind, gentle, loving & understanding parents you all could prayerfully consider Homeschooling.
If you have a difficult situation at home, then pray about how to tell your Parent/Parents/Gaurdian. Even if they don't outwardly show love, they most likely care about cruel, abusive behavior towards you by others. In one case a child was moved to different school & situations were much better for that child.
3rd, Remember this time, if you're called to endure is just a few years, sometimes much shorter when you pray. GOD does amazing things, through our prayers. Luke 17:6, Matthew 17:20, James 5:17,
4th, through hardship we learn compassion, to help others who go through what we have gone through, & going through. 2Corinthians 1:3-4,
5th, I will pray for you.
6th be encouraged as I have become unafraid of people & bolder for Christ, wiser especially for things today, you too should be strengthened & be wiser throughout these things. 2Timothy 2:3, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13,
Hopefully these are helpful & encouraging

Matthew 6:1-4 - Take heed that ye do not your giving before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 23:23 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Luke 6:38 - Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 11:42 - But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Luke 18:12 - I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. [don't brag]
Acts 2:44-47 - And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Acts 20:35 - I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
1 Corinthians 16:2 - Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 2 Corinthians 8:1-24
Give to missionaries
You came to God because GOD CAUSED you to come to him.
John 12:32 If I be lifted up, I WILL draw ALL MEN to me.
You BELIEVE because God CAUSES you to BELIEVE.
Philippians 1:29 For unto you IT IS GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not ONLY TO BELIEVE on him, but also to SUFFER for his sake.
Everything that has happen in you life has been for A PURPOSE, That we come to TRUTH that ALL WORKS are of GOD, we are just the vessel.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (his life) that worketh in you (the body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
John 14:6 ....I am the LIFE ......
Rejoice in the past, it's CAUSING you to be conformed to the IMAGE OF GOD (the Divine Nature).
Ezekiel 36:27 And I WILL put MY SPIRIT (LIFE) in you and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and to keep my judgements and DO THEM.
Matthew 6:10 Thy will be done .....
Everything in your past (as well as the future) is God's will, you are just now coming TO KNOWLEDGE, that GOD KNOW whats best for HIS BODY.
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are GIVEN TO US exceedingly great and precious PROMISES: that by these you might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE ......
God Bless You!
Jesus taught more about the kingdom of God, than any other thing.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God ......
God Bless YOU!
I pray deliverance from any and all attacks against you while you're sleeping! Spiritual, natural or both.
The 1st place I would like to start: Have you received or ask GOD to be LORD of your life? Accepting Jesus Christ as your savior? John 3:15-16,
With that we are sealed with promise, 2Corinthians 1:20-22, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 1:13, James 1:5, Acts 5:32, Romans 15:13, Acts 2:28, 1Corinthian 6:19, John 14:26, Acts 10:38, Mark 16:16-18, 1John 5:9-21,
* if you have not accepted Jesus as your personal LORD & Savior. Please do that right now, in prayer. 2Corinthians 6:2, 1Thessalonians 5:9, John 14:6,
Hebrews 1, note Hebrews 1:14, if you have received Jesus Christ as Savior, then the visible/invisible image was it fighting on your behalf?
* If you have been involved with anything associated with darkness & evil knowingly or others around you or in your dwelling have. Destroy those things, get it away from you. Turn away from those things. Ask forgiveness from our Father in Heaven. Matthew 6:23, Luke 11:34-36,
* Ephesians 5:11,
Ephesians 6,
Hopefully these are helpful.
Here is a scripture I just found for you : Psalms 25:16-18
I believe you can forgive now. Matthew 6:14, Mark 11:25,
In the last few years GOD has placed forgiveness on my thoughts for people, some had already passed. Some wrongs I had forgotten but as I remembered, GOD would remind me to forgive.
There are moments we have deep regrets, especially when a loved one is passed on. I have prayed similarly as you & felt peace because nothing is impossible with GOD, Luke 1:37, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27, Matthew 19:26,
Please consider reflecting on these scriptures: Galatians 5: 22-23, 2 Timothy 1:7, Matthew 6:33-34.
Matthew 6:33
John 15:5
