Why did Jesus say enter through the narrow gate, for the road or gate is wide that leads to destruction and many enter through it, in Matthew 7:13? Many people think that it is easy to do and are told that if you raise your hand you are saved. But it isn’t. The message I heard from God was that just doing devotions, reading the Bible, and tithing isn’t salvation. LIVING out the truths of God, His laws decrees and commandments is true salvation.

When Christ our Lord sacrificed his life, it wasn’t so that we could sit back and relax and say that it is finished because Jesus said it was. That finished or paid in full, was his sacrifice. He made a way for us to return to the Father. To come back into His love and grace. And to live by His laws. I see so many people who think they are saved. They are merely going through the motions and not truly living the way God wants them to live. This isn’t salvation. Love does not hurt others, love doesn’t lie to others. Love doesn’t betray or commit adultery. Love doesn’t steal from others. Love heals, love is faithful, love is patient and long-suffering. There is so much that is captured in the concept of love that we aren’t doing on a daily basis. 

Our work is to believe God and obey His commandments. And it isn’t as easy as read the Bible and tithe.

The disciples heard Jesus talk about the rich not being able to enter the kingdom of heaven and said it is hard, who can enter heaven then. Jesus told them through God nothing is impossible. God doesn’t need our money, but the pastor does, and we give to support their ministry. So although giving to support is important to carry on the sharing of the gospel, it isn’t what God thinks is important to our salvation. It is believing in Jesus and that he died on the cross as the Lamb of God, and was risen on the third day. It is being sorry for our sins and living a life that honors God. He doesn’t want a liar to continue to lie, or.a thief to continue to steal, or an adulterous to continue in adultery.

Do you want to be saved, it is truly doing love, it is truly having a repentant heart, saying sorry when we hurt someone, doing our best to right the wrongs that we did in life, and trusting that God’s grace covers the things we can’t repay.

Lord, I pray that your sheep will know your voice, and live by the truths in the Bible not just read it or even memorize it. I pray that they will have truly repentant hearts. Full of your love and kindness. I pray for your grace to cover them. Jesus paid a tremendous price for love. I pray that they will take it to heart how much He loved them and wants them to turn away from sin. Just love one another, amen. Thank you Jesus for loving us and going through the suffering and the cross for us. Forgive us of our sins. Thank you Lord Jesus, amen.

I remember going into church for the first time. As the preacher spoke I felt that he somehow knew what I was going through in my life at the time. At the end of the message, the preacher said this, “That God could have made this message just for one person in the audience.” I really believed that God spoke to me that day personally.

I raised my hand and did so again for a few weeks, just in case God didn’t see me the first time. I didn’t consider the person speaking as God, but that he was a messenger, relaying to the audience what God was telling him to say. The truth comes from God.

And yet, today it is very challenging because we must discern whose voice we are listening to, what is the true voice of God. Is the message we listen to from a man, the devil, or God. It is necessary for each one of us to learn to hear God’s voce on our own so that we can discern the voice of truth. The preacher can get it wrong, they are mortal men or women just as any other individual. Jesus can only speak the truth, He cannot lie.

John 14:6 (KJV)

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

If we cannot discern the voice of truth from a lie, how can we know what is good or evil. Can you tell what is good or what is evil? I think there would be so many definitions depending on each person and what there values are and what is going on in there heart. So what is good and what is evil? Jesus said this.

Mark 10:17–18 (KJV)

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

We can’t understand why something is good or evil if we don’t know the truth. We can’t know the truth if we don’t know the Truth. That sounds odd. But what is TRUTH is really the question.

So how does one know what truth is. Most people would define the truth as something that is factual and correct in its entirely. So how can you tell if someone is telling the truth. There must be others who are willing to attest to the facts and that they agree that is what it is. Today we often see multiple sources speaking about a certain topic and they each tell the story exactly as though someone had scripted it and told the other witnesses that this is the truth and the facts are in fact true. But because something is coordinated doesn’t mean that is the truth. Jesus was put on the cross, though he was innocent, because of this. Evil people chose to lie and agree to a story that they did not themselves witness. Witnesses can lie! I think many people can attest to this truth that people will lie and say bad things about other people and hurt their reputation or humiliate them falsely.

If this is the case then merely having others attest to whether someone is telling the truth or something is true cannot by itself be a dictator of the truth.

TRUTH from the Bible is found in Jesus. It is a Being. It is not simply a fact. That may sound difficult to accept, because we are looking at it from our perspective and not from God’s. Everything God speaks is the truth because he can make it come to pass, he can create it if it doesn’t exist.

So if you want to know the truth, then you must know God, and you must have a relationship with Jesus.

I pray that everyone will know the Truth and work on developing a strong relationships with Jesus the Christ. Amen.

As Pilate was questioning Jesus, Pilate made this statement, “What is truth?”

Many people believe that truth is found in words or pictures that are factual in content and context. Perhaps, but there is another context where we find truth, it is in Christ Jesus. Many people don’t know the truth. We are often deceived by words or pictures created by people, spiritual forces, wicked things. People don’t even try to know the truth.

Why?

Someone once told me this, “You can’t handle the truth!” At the time, I was asking for honesty about a situation. Later, I realized that the person who made this statement didn’t want to divulge the truth, not for my sake, but for hers. She was the one who couldn’t handle the truth. I think many people don’t want to speak or even know the truth because they can’t handle the truth. It would reveal who they are inside.

John 18:37–38 (King James Version)

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

Jesus describes himself as the truth. There is no lie in Christ. He cannot lie. And yet we question God on almost everything that we don’t like because people want what they want, they want to do what they want to do.

John 14:6 (KJV):

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

To know the truth is to know Jesus. He is the truth. And people who are in sin don’t want to know the truth, they live in a lie. They live according to their own “truths” or rather lies. Now most people would say who would want to live a life of lies. My answer is many people because they find it easier to lie than to face the truth about themselves.

Even in a church the pews are filled with people who don’t want to hear the truth. They sit in pews where words are told to them and it makes them feel good. Then they go out and do the things that God hates and think that they are good people because no one told them that what they are doing is wrong and they are sinning.

Jesus also said that if you want to hear His voice then you must be of the truth. Hearing the voice of Jesus requires living in the truth. When you start to live in the truth you get closer to God, His voice can be heard. It will help you to discern who is speaking to you, is it the demons or is it the voice of truth, Jesus. If you want to get closer to Jesus it takes truthful and authentic living.

If you truly want to be saved. then the truth will set you free. Jesus cannot live in a lie, he cannot live in you when you are lying or hiding the truth. It’s time to be set free. Start to speak the truth. Confess your sins to the Lord ask to be forgiven. Repent and turn away from all the lies of your past. It is hard, and it takes courage to live in the truth. The truth holds you accountable to live a God honoring life. It takes courage and resolve. Be strong and courageous.

Lord, I pray that people will know the truth and live authentic lives, I pray that they will know you as their Lord and Savior. Jesus is the truth, the life, and the way to their salvation. Not by works but by faith and truth and love in the Spirit. I pray that they will know you more and more and that their lives will be clean, righteous, and good. I pray that they will be able to speak and receive truth in love. Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen.

All you were trying to do was love others and do good. And you can’t understand why people would want to hurt you for doing good to them. They wanted to take you down, they told others not to help you or to stay away from helping you. They said bad things about you behind your back.

King David said that it was better for an enemy to hurt him rather than someone he trusted like a brother.

Psalm 55:12-14

For it is not an enemy who insults me;
that I could endure.
It is not a foe who rises against me;
from him I could hide.
But it is you, a man like myself,
my companion and close friend.
We shared sweet fellowship together;

The Bible gives us insight into this, that it is not necessarily a man or woman but evil and wicked things in high places. The challenging part is to discern the difference between the man or woman or the spirit. How do you address the issue without damaging the man or woman?

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 KJV

Many people are hurt because of the ability of these demonic spirits to manipulate, coerce, even control people to hurt people who are doing good in their lives. These people often come into your life as sheep in wolf’s clothing. the Bible tells us that the evil one comes as an angel of light. He pretends to be someone good but in reality he is just an evil pretentious being. Don’t be fooled by these demonic entities in people.

But how do you discern whether the person is truly good or just pretending to be good. It is difficult because they will go to great lengths to fool you. Creating false paperwork, documents, testimonies to prove to you that they are good and trustworthy, when in fact they are lying to you. And when they do have foothold into your life or business that is when they are capable of doing greater harm to you, emotionally, financially, physically, and spiritually.

There is a battle for souls going on in the world. The ones who are wary and knowledgeable will be able to survive and win. It is important that you are not complacent or lazy, that is when the enemy does its most damage. They lull you into submission and lead you to destruction. I was thinking about the millions who died in the holocaust where there are pictures of people just standing in line to be slaughtered. I wondered what would have happened if everyone of them had fought there hardest together. I think they would have been able to change their destiny.

In this battle for your destiny, fight the good fight and win. Stay diligent, stay alert, be strong in the Lord and you will be able to win and help others to win.

Lord, I pray that people are discerning and aware of what is happening in the world today. What may seem pleasant may be a lure into the trap of the devil, the schemers, the evil ones that want to lull you into complacency and submission. I pray that people will stay alert and fight for love and justice. I pray that your people will be prayerful and keep themselves and their loved ones from sin. I ask this in your Son’s precious name, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Are you looking for your soulmate—someone to love you and make your life feel complete? It’s natural to believe that everything will fall into place if you just find that one person. But often, the love you’re seeking outside of yourself isn’t what you truly need, especially if you expect it to fill the void in your heart.

You can’t make someone love you the way you want. This kind of conditional love—“If you love me the way I want, then I’ll love you”—often leaves one or both people unhappy. True love doesn’t come from placing your worth or happiness in someone else’s hands.

The Problem with Searching Outside Yourself

Most people look for love externally, hoping someone or something will make them feel loved and whole. But this pursuit often leads to disappointment or even harmful situations. Why? Because many don’t understand what love truly is or where to find it. Instead of searching outside yourself, the answer lies within—and ultimately, with God.

Steps to Fill the Void with True Love

Before you can find your true love or soulmate, there are important steps you need to take. These steps help you cultivate real, lasting love from within:

1. Learn to Love Yourself

Can you truly say you love and accept yourself? Self-love is foundational to experiencing healthy relationships.

2. Understand What Love Truly Is

Love isn’t sex, an emotional high, or fleeting feelings—they come and go. Real love endures.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” (1 Corinthians 13:4)

Love is an action, a choice, and a commitment.

3. Know the Source of True Love

God is love. Do you know His love?

“We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

Experiencing God’s love fills the void no person can ever satisfy. His love is unconditional, eternal, and perfect.

True Love Starts with God

When you anchor yourself in God’s love and learn to love yourself as He loves you, you’ll no longer seek validation from others to feel whole. This prepares you to experience love in its truest form, whether it’s with a soulmate or through the relationships in your life.

Stop looking outward for what can only be found within. Begin your journey to understanding and experiencing true love today.

Lord, I pray that you will bless us with your true love. I pray that we will wait for the right time and person to love. I pray that we will have the patience and grace we need to love others as ourselves. You created us to love as you love. Fill us up with your Spirit of love. Fill us up with your true love. In Jesus name I pray this. Amen.

So even within the body of Christ people are condoning these acts. It shouldn’t be that way. Parents should teach their children that it isn’t right to do these things. It is the responsibility of the parents to raise their children with good moral values. They should know right from wrong. Today, the schools or the government have become the parents of the children. Laws are made to hinder or block parents from raising their children with good values. The laws of the land should be the biblical laws. Yet many Christians don’t fight for these, until it affects their rights.

It is like people who don’t take care of their own bodies until they are in such pain or misery that they need to go to the hospital. People who let these things fester often have to have a major operation or go through a major treatment in order to stop the disease or infection from spreading to the rest of their body or they will die.

If the body of Christ is to thrive in a healthy society we need to live righteously and oppose wrong behavior and laws that foster sinful behaviors. I have often noted how in history where the world falls into darkness, it is where the children are treated like adults. When you look at renaissance art before the dark ages, the children are dressed like the adults in the paintings. God gave an order to the family and society. God is the head over the man, the husband over the wife, the parents over the children. It isn’t difficult to follow God’s order. But many families fail to observe this simple rule.

We don’t need to love the sinner or the sin in the sense of allowing the behavior. God corrects His children out of love. And sometimes His correction causes us to suffer for good reason. As the Bible tells us we don’t like it when we are being disciplined. No one likes it, I don’t. But accepting God’s love is the best thing we can do. So loving one another also includes not accepting the behavior of sinners. How about changing that phrase to love and correct the sinner and hate the sin?

Lord, I pray that we will love and correct the sinner and hate the sin that you hate. I pray that we will use wisdom in doing this. And we will do it out of love and not anger or spitefulness. I pray that our society will be able to accept correction and not hate it when it is done in love and righteousness. Lord, help us to live out your word in Spirit and truth. Amen.

That isn’t the kind of love that God wanted spread throughout the world. The movement was selfish, immoral, and evil. Yet many people say that they have great memories of that era and even to this day celebrate those years.

For the seven thousand, who didn’t follow that path, you are probably concerned about how the next generation fared because of this path that was ushered in during the 60’s. Society went in the wrong direction, greed, lust, immorality, social agenda’s that are against the laws of God. It ushered in the greatest era of greed, divorce, infidelity, and immorality in society.

I believe that this is the year for the 60’s to be redeemed. God is giving us a second chance to share the love he wanted to during the Hippie movement. His unconditional agape love, but with morality, justice, and kindness. It is a selfless and sacrificial love, but not at the expense of giving people free rein to live any kind of life they want. We are to return to the God’s laws, the Ten Commandments. A society of telling the truth, being authentic, living morally and righteously. He wants us to love with His kind of love.

Jesus came to give us an example of what love is. The story of Christ is a love story. Let’s return to the love God wanted us to live by. Let’s rewrite the 60’s love story and make 2024 a new generation of love.

Join our movement to rewrite the love story of God. If you are a by product of the 60’s pray for the younger generation that they will know the true love of God, through Christ our Savior.

“She was happy—laughing, smiling, singing, dancing—without a care in the world. Something inside told me to prepare my heart for despair.”

The man was heartbroken when he discovered his wife had been having an affair at work. He thought she loved him, and he had envisioned a life where they would raise their children together and live happily ever after. His dream was shattered because, as she put it, it was “just a little fun at work.”

Why would someone break their sacred covenant of marriage for something so fleeting? The lure of lust, the influence of the evil one, envy, jealousy, and coveting—all of these temptations contribute to a heartbreak that feels impossible to bear. Their “little fun” cost them everything they’d built together. And the saddest part? This isn’t an isolated story. Hundreds, even thousands of families experience this pain, even within the church.

I recently watched a video on social media where someone spoke about how some women grow tired of being a wife to one husband. She shared that some women don’t mind being “the side chick,” willing to risk their families for an affair with a married man. And it’s not just the women—many men fall into the same trap. Whether single or married, both are responsible for breaking someone’s marriage vows. And because of this, there are so many broken-hearted people, crying out and asking, “Why, God?”

When we can’t understand people’s actions, we often turn to God, seeking comfort. If you’re hurting and feel lost, know that God understands your pain and heartache. He knows what it is to experience unfaithfulness; Israel was often unfaithful to Him. You’re not alone in your heartache. He understands the betrayal, sadness, anger, and jealousy.

Turn your heart over to God—He is the healer of the broken-hearted. Jesus came to mend those who are shattered inside:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” (Luke 4:18, KJV)

God sees you. He knows your hurt and wants to heal and restore you. Take this time to draw near to God. Healing from a broken heart, especially one caused by betrayal and infidelity, takes time, but God will be with you every step of the way. Don’t let the enemy push you into despair.

Lord, I pray that you will heal the broken-hearted. Comfort them through your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit pour out your love and healing power over all the brokenhearted. Pour out Your love and healing power over every wounded heart, soothing their hurt, anger, jealousy, and despair. I pray that they will take the time to sit with you and ask all the Why God questions that they have and may You answer them with love. Send ministering spirits to guide them through this season of pain. Heal their hearts and send angels to comfort them, surrounding them with Your love and protection. I pray that you will shield them from the schemes of the enemy, the devil, Satan, who may try to take advantage of their hurt. I ask for your divine power and love to surround them through this season of despair. Turn their mourning into joy. I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen.
