He is sharing with you His design of creation, His desire for your life. The Bible is our Father, with all wisdom, conversing with us about living a blessed and righteousness life. He shows us examples of good & bad, how our decisions can bless us or curse us. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16?-?17 NLT Make the Bible personal. Insert your name while reading, like it's a letter written to you, because it is! (Insert your name here), you are God�s man, so run from all these errors. Instead, chase after true holiness, justice, faithfulness, love, hope, and tender humility. So fight with faith for the winner�s prize! Lay your hands upon eternal life, for this is your calling�celebrating in faith before the multitude of witnesses! So now, I instruct you before the God of resurrection life and before Jesus, the Anointed One, who demonstrated a beautiful testimony even before Pontius Pilate, that you follow this commission faithfully with a clear conscience and without blemish until the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah. Yes, God will make his appearing in his own divine timing, for he is the exalted God, the only powerful One, the King over every king, and the Lord of power! He alone is the immortal God, living in the unapproachable light of divine glory! No one has ever seen his fullness, nor can they, for all the glory and endless authority of the universe belongs to him, forever and ever. Amen! To all the rich of this world, I command you not to be wrapped in thoughts of pride over your prosperity, or rely on your wealth, for your riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the living God. Trust instead in the one who lavishes upon us all good things, fulfilling our every need. Remind the wealthy to be rich in remarkable works of extravagant generosity, willing to share with others. These spiritual investments will provide a beautiful foundation for their lives and secure for them a great future, as they lay their hands upon the meaning of true life. So, my son (insert your name here), don�t forget all that has been deposited within you. Escape from the empty echoes of men and the perversion of twisted reasoning. For those who claim to possess this so-called knowledge have already wandered from the true faith. May God�s grace empower you always! 1 Timothy 6:11?-?21 TPT Love y'all, Be Blessed!! Eric

View MoreHappy New Year!! As I have been thinking and talking with the Lord about last year (2020) being over and this year (2021) beginning, He has reminded me of the many blessings He has given us in 2020. There has also been some tough times that He has walk through with us. The revelations that come from the Word are awe inspiring! The love that He showers us with each day is amazing! How He has blessed us so we can be a blessing to others has been Heavenly! As we move forward into this New Year we pray that we will be obedient to His will and whatever, wherever, and whoever that may be. We pray the same for all of you also. At the beginning of a New Year we all hope that it is a better year than the previous one no matter how good it was. Well God wants the same for us all. He tells us this in His Word. Let's go into this New Year knowing that our Lord and Savior has so many blessings in store for each of us. All of us can and should spend more time in The Word, talking with Jesus and drawing closer to God. He wants a relationship with each of us and we need to remember that all relationships are only as good as the time we put into them. Give Him the time He deserves and he will be there, as a best friend always is, with grace, blessings, health, happiness, prosperity and favor. So let's put 2020 behind us and move into all the new things the Lord has for us! 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! ' 2 Corinthians 5:17 'but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.' Isaiah 40:31 �Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. ' Isaiah 43:18-19 'For I know the plans I have for you,� declares the Lord, �plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ' Jeremiah 29:11 'There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path: ' Proverbs 23:18-19 Love y'all, Be Blessed!! Eric

View MoreDo you study the scriptures or just read / recite them? Here's a little study on Matthew 6:9-13 (The Lord�s Prayer) �Our Father in heaven...� This line reminds us that we are praying to our Father in heaven, how great is this?! We can call the God of the WHOLE universe our �father� because of what Jesus has done, bringing us into God�s family. This means we can come to Him as children when we pray, but it also reminds us that we need to have the correct reverence and awe of Him as a father and not just treat God like our buddy. �Hallowed be your name� This line sounds a little odd because we don�t really use the word �hallowed� any more, but what it means is to �honor as holy�. So we are to honor God�s name as holy and also treat Him as holy. But this prayer is bigger than just for ourselves; we are to pray that all across the world God�s name may be honored as holy as people come to know God and to understand who He is. �Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven� As Christians, we know that the life we live here on earth is not all that there is, we know that a new heaven and a new earth are coming � this is the coming kingdom of God (Revelation 21). But we also know that God�s kingdom is being established today as people come to know Him and become part of His family (His kingdom). So as we pray this line about God�s will being done, and God�s kingdom we should remember that we are not only praying for the future but also for people to come to Christ right now. �Give us today our daily bread� This line has a double meaning behind it. It asks for God to provide us with the daily necessities that we need (remember back to the days when God provided food for His people for the 40 years in the desert), but it also refers to God feeding us daily through His word, The Bible. �And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors� Even though as Christians we know we are forgiven of our sins, it is good to pray for forgiveness for it reminds us to be humble. We also are reminded by this line that we are to forgive others. We have been forgiven so much by God, we are to show Christ-like character and forgive those who wrong us. �And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one� Despite us having been saved by Jesus and the victory over sin and death having been won, there is still a spiritual war happening. So we are to pray for protection from the attacks of the devil as well as praying that God help us not to wander into temptation and sin. "For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen" This is the conclusion to the prayer. It praises God for the power and glory that he has and will have for all eternity. Love y'all, Be Blessed!! Eric

The book of Proverbs is known as the book of wisdom. It was inspired by God and written by the wisest, wealthiest and most powerful man in history, King Solomon. So if you're going to follow an "Influencer", why not follow the wisest and read a book of Proverbs each day. In fact, he was so wise, he wrote 31 of them, one for each day of the month. Today is the 29th so here is Proverbs 29. Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery. When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan. The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but if he hangs around with prostitutes, his wealth is wasted. A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it. To flatter friends is to lay a trap for their feet. Evil people are trapped by sin, but the righteous escape, shouting for joy. The godly care about the rights of the poor; the wicked don�t care at all. Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but the wise will calm anger. If a wise person takes a fool to court, there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction. The bloodthirsty hate blameless people, but the upright seek to help them. Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked. The poor and the oppressor have this in common� the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both. If a king judges the poor fairly, his throne will last forever. To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child. When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall. Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad. When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful. Words alone will not discipline a servant; the words may be understood, but they are not heeded. There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking. A servant pampered from childhood will become a rebel. An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin. Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor. If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself. You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify. Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety. Many seek the ruler�s favor, but justice comes from the Lord . The righteous despise the unjust; the wicked despise the godly. Proverbs 29:1?-?27 NLT Love y'all, Be Blessed!! Eric
