Dearly Beloved

In the words of the Artist formerly known as Prince… dearly beloved!!!

Time to do some DEEP THINKING🤔AND📚READING…

But first, I did my best to entertain🤪the children all summer long in the metaverse watched videos on my Facebook page.

Please cover them🙏in prayer, now that they are headed back to school, thank you😊

Now, let the deep thinking and📚reading begin…

I’ve been handing out appetizers all summer long, you’ll be ready for the three-course meal, then pull up a chair at the table… mama’s cooking again😋😊

In the words of the Artist formerly known as Prince… dearly beloved… or song Let’s Go Crazy. Ya’ll know I love me some Prince, purple 💜 rain.

We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Figaro… …welcome to the marriage of the Lamb; Revelation 19:6-9.

But first, we must exchange the marriage vows…

I, take you JESUS; To have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death due us part…never part. Your people shall be my people and your God my God; Ruth 1:16.

Today, I want to share with you what it will cost you to be in this relationship with Jesus.

Say this with me: Jesus, I’ve lost many of relationships, please give me the strength to stay in this relationship with you.

Because I know what it will cost; crushing😍crazy love and…

Let me share with you what it cost you or me to be in a relationship with Jesus.

Let’s begin with SEPARATION from the natural, meaning the five senses, to walk in the spiritual…God. Life has to become like a towel that you left go of, in order to walk with God.

ISOLATION and ALONENESS from friends, family, cause I gotta Go song by Hollyn and When it’s time to go song by 4HIM.

Particularly men! No sex! Men, do you feel me? Try not having sex for years, just to walk with this God; it’s called keeping the temple holy or Romans 12:1. Could you do it? You can not do this by yourself, you need the Holy Spirit to help you kill the flesh or lust; Galatians 5:16-26. Say this with me! Holy Spirit, I need you, I’m not strong today; I’ll likely give into fornication or adultery if you don’t help me. All the thoughts, substance abuse drugs, alcohol, emotions, VISUALS, or “vices” that come. Please, Lord, Holy Spirit, help me say no!

REFINER’S🔥FIRE tearing down old mindsets, to become a renewed person; Romans 12:2.

Answering the call of God on your life; the GIFT is irrevocable without repentance; Romans 11:29-32; meaning it is yours for life, don’t be like the person who buried his talent; Matthew 25:14-30; use it! Say Yes song by Michelle Williams.

CRUFIXION and PRAISE🙌today the crowd loves you, tomorrow they hate you. It’s just life, forgive them, for they know not what they do; Luke 23:34.

Other times, as Paul said, we were shipped wrecked; in pain, suffering; 2 Corinthians 11:25-33.

What I’m trying to tell you is, all you will have LEFT in this world🌎is your relationship with Jesus. You may have loss📉everything and everyone but you “must maintain your relationship with Jesus.

And lastly, GLORY comes but for a minute. Herein is where you have to make a decision. Do I take the glory for myself; Let’s look at the scene when Satan is tempting Jesus to take the glory for himself; all these kingdoms and more I will give you if, says Satan; Matthew 4:1-11.

Or do you give God the glory; cast our crowns👑at His feet; Revelation 4:10-11… Just Jesus song by Hillsong Young and Free, is all I want, thank you; you can keep the rest of it.

If I had to give this a sub-title, I would call it “The Making of my anointing”.

This and more is what it will COST you to be in a relationship with Jesus.

…what they didn’t tell you, is that all this information, preaching, teaching, writing is everyone trying their very best to tell you about their relationship with Jesus and to point👉you to Him. Because one day you’re going to meet Him face to face; because to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord; 2 Corinthians 5:8-10.

Question: How committed are you to this relationship with Jesus?

Is He just another Bible study, history lesson or religious Sunday service? Is that all He is to you? I’m trying to encourage you to make your ELECTION sure; 2 Peter 1:10

And don’t forget to put on your wedding garments; Matthew 22:1-14.

I’m trying to tell you to hold on to this relationship with Jesus with everything you’ve got, because this decade 2020-2030, is not, I repeat, not playing with you. Stay close to Jesus with whatever you say or do.

Ps. Have you checked your ACCOUNT lately?

Question: Are you in the RED or in the black; Matthew 12:36-37.

In the Red or in the black is an accounting term, before the use of computers. Accountants recorded income in black ink and expenses in red. For example, when the business posted positive earnings, the figure was marked in black. As opposed to this, the debits, losses, and debts were marked with red.

Don’t get so caught up in this life that you miss His RETURN; 1 Corinthians 15:52-58; Romans 10:9-13.

…grateful to be able to break you off a little something🍞 something from Jesus for you.
