2 Corinthians 4:16 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;  14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.  15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.  16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.  17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;  18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

My broken💔heart to the Sacred💔Heart. Kintsugi is the art of filling in the cracks & broken parts of pottery with gold, which in turn makes the brokenness both more visible as well as the pottery more valuable in it's brokeness. The process of intentionally cultivating humility works very much in the same way. We accept with gentleness our own personal brokenness and also the brokenness of others Ego is easy; humility is hard. Ego is the natural state of being human and our supernatural call is humility; if we don't hear the call, life will surely teach it to us. If you've never heard of or thought of intentionally cultivating humility, give me a call and let's explore together the idea of what it means to intentionally cultivate humilty. Where do YOU want to grow from here?

DON'T WAIT TOO LATE Its time for people to get closer to Jesus. Jesus is our key and answer to salvation including link to God. James 3: 3-5 tells us one must be born again, of water and spirit. You can't make it into heaven just any kind of way. People need to examine themselves daily asking God to cleanse their mind, heart, soul and spirit. We must put away foolish ways. We must learn to love each other with the love of God. Pray for each other and stop talking about each other. We must forgive and stop holding grudges. We must stop hating each other. Stop talking about preachers. Pray for them. Love your pastors and preachers of the gospel. People need to stay in their places and be who God called them to be in life. Study and apply the Word of God. Repent daily. Fellowship with your church whether drive up service, telephone, on line, or in church. However God leads his pastors, respect it. Bottom line do what it takes to get close to God. Time is winding up. Don't get left behind or caught slipping. DON'T WAIT TOO LATE ❤

Today, if asked, most of us would describe ourselves as “Christians”, some may be as “Born-again”, others that we are “Saved”. Those are all good, valid, and proper terms; but, what is amazing is how far we have moved from what the New Testament called those who were saints and headed to Heaven. If you just read and note the descriptions as you proceed through the books of the New Testament, you would assemble a list of the: NEW TESTAMENT NAMES OF CHRISTIANS Those who are part of God’s family are called by an amazing galaxy of terms in the New Testament. Most of us have heard of the top seven, but altogether there are almost 100 different ways that born-again believers are named in the New Testament. Beyond the top seven, there are many different combinations of words used one, two, three times like aliens and strangers” (1 Peter 1:1, 17; 2:11); “kingdom of priests” (Rev. 1:5-6; 5:10); and "chosen people" (1 Pet. 2:9). Here is a brief summary that may surprise you. Let me give you the top seven in reverse order: Seventh place: “Christians” = 3x (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16); Sixth place: Followers of “The Way” = 5x (Acts 9:1-2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 23:14; 24:22); Fifth place: “Witnesses” = c. 27x (Luke 1:2; 24:48; Acts 1:8, 22; 2:32; 3:15; 5:32; 10:39, 41; 13:31; 26:16; 1 Pet. 5:1; 2 Pet. 1:16-18); Fourth place: “Saints” = 62x; Third place: Those Jesus asked and they were “Following/Followers” = c.100x; Second place: Those who were “Believing/believers” = 266x; First place, and most used is: “Disciples” = 274x (John 13:35 ; Acts 6:1-2 ; 11:26 ; 14:21-22 ; 18:27).

Exorcist Fr. Jim Blount recommends this prayer! Fr. Jim first ensures those seeking his help return to Mass and the sacraments – especially Reconciliation – if they have been estranged from the Church. He then recommends increasing one’s prayer life by praying the Holy Rosary daily, making holy hours of devotion before the Blessed Sacrament and the 12 word long Precious Blood Prayer: Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world. "Fr. Blount says that it is an effective prayer of deliverance, as demons must flee from the power of Jesus’ blood. The priest-exorcist frequently recommends that people recite this prayer 500 times each day. It can be helpful to use your rosary to keep track of the number."
