Just Say It-In The Name Of Jesus!

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”Colossians 3:17

Do you pray ‘in Jesus’ name’ or simply say Amen? No big deal really not trying to pick on anyone or condemn you but to remind you there is power in the name of Jesus. 

In saying ‘In the name of Jesus’ demons tremble. There is power and authority in Jesus’ name. 

Your prayer habit may have never included ending your prayers with saying ‘in the name of Jesus’ but try it and see if you don’t feel more of a connection or authority with the Almighty God.  

PRAYER:Father I give you my heart, my mind, my purposes for this day. Help me to weed out things that will not benefit the kingdom and use me as I go about my day to shine hope to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What To Do Now?

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.This is good, and pleases God our Savior,who wants all  people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.1Timothy 2:1-4

Another election season is in the books and oh my goodness what to do now. Much deception went on during campaigning as it always does but our young 250 year old nation may fall if believers don’t stand up for truth. But first they have to know it and not follow seducing spirits. 

 

This devotion is to urge all believers to check their blue or red robes and put on the robe of righteousness and truth. It is to get believers to wake up and be on their knees in prayer. It is to get devoted party followers to only follow Jesus. 

Do you truly know Jesus as your savior? I hope you do. The enemy Satan is out to destroy believers and to destroy the United States which has been a Christian nation since its founding. Fight the enemy not each other. Just saying. 

PRAYER: Lord help me stay grounded in prayer and your word and not get caught up in petty quarrels. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Onward!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."Proverbs 4:5-6

What is getting you down today? Current affairs? Family issues? Sickness? Politics? I say stand up and get going and don’t allow the enemy to squish you into his little tiny kingdom but rise up for Jesus! 

You were bought with a price the precious blood of Jesus. In the morning rise up thankful for where you live even if it is not ideal but give God thanks for freedom you have and be vigilant and wise to keep it.

Start each day on your knees praying a prayer of thanks for God to lift you out of whatever pit and keep running. Read a Chapter in Psalms and rejoice to be able to be in America. Some may be reading from other countries so pray for America to stay strong so we can help other nations. 

PRAYER: Lord God help me to shine your light on people I encounter daily. Help me not fear the future for you are in control. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Stop Gloating

“Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.” Proverbs 24:17-18 NIV Bible Gateway

Ok so the midterm elections are behind us now and all the advertising on TV has ceased praise God. But now many people are disheartened and even mad over results and both sides may be saying ugly things on social media. Resist the urge to do that. 

Today’s verse is pretty clear to not be jumping for joy over someone’s failures or defeats and above all remember all humans are made in God’s image. True they don’t all acknowledge or even care about Him but He is their creator. 

Stay off social media. Praise God instead. Praise Him when things are going good and praise Him when they are not. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says “in all things to give thanks”. Wow. All means all. Now go pray and be still. Wait as God works. 

PRAYER: Lord help me to learn to keep silent and not enter into fruitless debates. I know you are working In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Stay In The Room

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.Galatians 6:9 NIV Bible Gateway 

Are there relationships you have felt like running out on because you were at the end of your rope? Know that that is from the enemy not God especially if it is involves your marriage partner. But if it is a friend or someone you are frustrated with don’t try to change them just be there. 

Stay put, hang on, don’t let go! Believe that God hears your prayers and knows your frustrations so keep on keeping on. 

Things in life aren’t always easy and the enemy likes to poke your buttons and try to get you frustrated. Each day start your day with prayer and reading scripture to get your focus right. Now go run your race keeping your eyes on the cross. 

PRAYER: Help me Father to hang on during hard times and struggles. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Deliver Me From Myself

 “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?”Romans 7:24

Have you ever felt like if only I could stop doing dumb stuff like opening your mouth at wrong time or doing something you regret later. It is almost like “Lord help me get away from my human nature and get immersed in God’s nature”. 

Dying to self is essential for walking the Christian life and not being overcome with anxiety over things you can’t control. Practice being kind, generous, loving, and forgiving. 

Who is on the throne of your life? Is it time to allow the Holy Spirit to infill you and let you run hard after Jesus again putting others before yourself? 

PRAYER: I need you Lord to help me have more of you and less of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Freedom Isn’t Free

 "Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves," 1 Peter 2:16

I am not writing today to tell you how to vote but instead to ask you to reflect on your God given freedoms and those who paid the ultimate price to have this country. Hopefully you are voting and if not you should be. 

Many issues and candidates are on the ballots nationwide. Lots of deceptions and cover ups. People convinced so and so is evil and needs voted out. I urge to not get into political squabbles. 

Today be thankful to have the right to vote. First pray then go to the polls. Be careful of deceiving spirits and those liars trying to trick you. Go vote then be at peace. 

PRAYER: Thanks for Election Day. Praying for our country to stay free and to not fall into the wrong hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Don’t Open The Door To The Devil

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

My friend we live in a crooked deceitful world that Satan would love to crush all things relating to Jesus Christ. One of the tools that Satan can use is social media has people blast one another with no consequence. Also the tool can open the door to pornography, affairs, and so forth. 

So many temptations are out there in the world. Good versus evil right versus wrong. Seek God each day and hear from Him by reading His Word The Bible. 

As a believer you should want to make Heaven crowded as the late Charlie Kirk used to say. Your heart should break for those keeping the door wide open to the enemy. Continue to press in daily in prayer for the lost and blinded. 

PRAYER: Lord help me daily to recognize attacks by the enemy and to stand strong. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Your Destination Is Your Decision

“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

You are born and you die. When you die you either go to Heaven or to Hell. Many make jokes about that saying a loving God could never subject people to eternal damnation and flames. But if people reject Him and His teaching during their life why would the entrance sign to Heaven have their name on it?

Sad to say many people will be shocked when they take their last breath and are in an extremely dark place with no way out but God gave them choices on Earth to follow Him and they mocked Him and His teachings and His followers. 

Years ago I believe 1992 in Fairborn, Ohio a church did a drama for an alternative to Halloween where you had to be at least 12 to attend as it was very intense. It basically showed through several scenes a person who rejected Christ and what happened after they had died during a mock chemical spill and the next moment were in a hallway where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. Very powerful and at the end the salvation message was presented to give people a chance to ask Jesus into their heart. Do you have friends and family who need to come to the Lord? Keep praying for them. 

PRAYER: Father may Your Word go through the whole world so everyone has a chance to know you are Lord. Open eyes Satan had blinded. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Trick Or Treat

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.”1 Peter 5:8

 

Not only is this the day Halloween is celebrated but it is also my birthday. I am not a huge fan of Halloween even though yeah I get it children love dressing up and getting candy but it is the demonic dark aspect of this day I hate to pay tribute to. 

What a religious nut are you? No I love Jesus and I hate seeing evil paraded as fun and yes there are those that say “for crying out loud Becky get a grip it is all for fun” and I am reminded of how the power of darkness has gripped our world trying to call dark light and light dark. 

Black magic, fortune tellers, ouija boards, witches, and little red devil outfits to make toddlers look cute. The Holy Spirit has to bring conviction upon your heart before you decide enough is enough. Each and every day wake up praising God for teaching you truth through the word and get up and be a light for the kingdom. 

PRAYER: Father thank you for each day you have given us and even in the midst of Halloween activities let me not be holier than thou but instead pray for conviction to come upon others. Keep our children safe as they trick or treat. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Represent Christ

“So that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation, then you will shine among them like stars in the sky."Philippians 2:15

I was thinking of how important a parents’ job is to teach little children about Jesus but also about taking care of things and picking up after yourself. On a recent visit to an elevated ‘lounge’ at my local grocery store many people had left litter behind or dirty tables. It reminded me of a sign that used to be hanging in the break room American Red Cross I think at Wright Patterson AFB which said “your mother doesn’t work here please clean up after yourself.” 

Especially when those with you know you are a Christ follower how much more important to set an example. You can even pick up stuff others left behind kind of what adopt a highway does even though you didn’t throw litter out you serve your community by helping tidy up the roadside. 

Wherever you go don’t be a secret service Christian but shine the love and light of Jesus’. Don’t do things to get noticed but to be an example for Christ. 

PRAYER: Father God thank you for this Earth and my home. Help me be a good caretaker or what you entrust me with. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Stop Arguing

The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.Proverbs 12:16 ESV Bible Gateway 

Let God fight your battles. Arguments cause so much trouble and are right from the pit of Hell. Having little arguments about stuff that doesn’t even matter uses so much mental energy. 

Let things go. Don’t try to prove your point. Rise above the fight or argument. Get it stopped now before it escalates into something worse. 

Would you rather live in peace or turmoil? Obviously the answer should be peace. Then seek to end arguments. Now go have a good day. 

PRAYER: Lord God help me stay calm in my spirit and avoid getting into foolish conflicts. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Many

"For many will come in My name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many." Matthew 24:5

The Bible speaks of many people who will come and say they are Jesus and many will be deceived. In the last days many false prophets will arise. That is why it is crucial to know scripture and be planted in a good Bible preaching church. 

Don’t follow after a man anyway because only Christ is to be followed no one else. Many will misuse scripture to sway people so be on your guard. 

In Matthew 24 it says many will be offended and betray and hate one another. This is why you need to know the truth. Even today there is so much deception so be on your knees in prayer and ask yourself “what would Jesus do”. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus you are good and your mercies endure forever. Show me the way and help me walk in it. Guard my heart from the lies of Satan. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

It’s In The Bible

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other.”Matthew 24:9-10 NIV Bible Gateway

First of all before starting let me say it is the Holy Spirit not a person that brings conviction needed to change hearts and lives. Satan is the great deceiver and has blinded the minds of many some of who once called themselves believers. 

Don’t get into arguments about the Bible and truth but simply pray for friends and family you know who have maybe taken Satan’s bait and are messed up about truth. It can happen if a person doesn’t stay grounded in God’s word they can easily slip and get caught in the enemies trap and their intellectual minds will laugh at truth. 

The Bible is not old fashioned or old school that would be a lie the enemy plants in minds. This country of America was founded upon truth and many have tried to skew that truth. Run your race to win keep speaking the truth in love and pray that those who are caught up in a lie of culture and are ho hum about things of the Lord be set free. Let the Holy Spirit work, you pray. 

PRAYER: Lord God thanks for believers who speak the truth and especially believers who lead churches to know truth. May God protect all those who speak His Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Is There Room In Your Heart For God?

“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.”  Mark 1:35

Each day you are given 24 hours done of which are sleeping but in that 24 hours do you make time for God in prayer or a daily quiet time? 

Often times you have to be intentional about making sure quiet time to talk to God happens. You can just talk normal no need for thee or thou or anything fancy. 

So my friend do you have room in your heart each day for God? Maybe less social media scrolling and download a Bible app. Don’t be legalistic about it but make it important enough to schedule daily and give Him your concerns. 

PRAYER: Father you are most high and mighty and thank you for hearing my prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Is There Something You Need To Totally Give To God?

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."Proverbs 3:5-6

Often times if you are trying to be in control of outcomes of things it can cause you much anguish. Stop wearing yourself out mulling over things. 

What has you concerned? World situation? Election? Your job?Comparing yourself to another?  Fear of death? A family issue? You really truly have to take today’s verse to heart. Try to relax. Anxiety can lead to health issues. 

Try this. Get up and read some of the Psalms. Talk to God in prayer. Turn off TV and stay off social media. Go for a walk. Have a blessed day. 

PRAYER: Lord help me stay focused on ‘above’. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Give It To God And Keep Giving

 “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning.”Mark 13:35

Each day is a gift from God to get up and be breathing and be able to help others around you. Do you suppose people in communist dominated countries feel that way? 

Whatever has you ‘singing the blues’ today get on your knees and pray for God to get you out of your slump. Only Satan wants you in an unproductive negative slump. 

Every day we are closer to the Lord’s return. Pray for people you might know who are far away from God or even those who make a mockery of Heaven and Hell. Tell the devil to get his hands off God’s property and then name those loved ones you are praying for. You have a reason every day to rejoice. 

PRAYER: My heart aches for believers who have taken Satan’s bait and are following false gods. Every day I say thanks for helping me to run my race to win. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Hell Was Full So I Came Back

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Matthew 39:49-50 NIV Bible Gateway

Today’s title is a bumper sticker I saw on a car in Boise, Idaho. Obviously the person in the car thought it was cute but it broke my heart for the person driving as first off I assumed they thought Heaven was a joke and secondly what kind of a life this person must have to have to tell that to everyone who passes them on the highway. 

Heaven and Hell are both very real places and you should not want anyone to go there not even those in the world who mock believers. The god of this age Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers so they can’t know the truth and even some who once were on fire got off the path but many prayers going up for prodigals to return to their first love. 

So where is your heart today? Don’t let the dark spirit of Halloween invade your heart but stand strong and firm and keep praying for the lost. 

PRAYER: Lord I lift up to you those who mock your name. I pray for Christians to cross the paths of unbelievers to share your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Don’t Make Your Mind A Trash Dump

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.Philippians 4:8

Satan truly is in the business of destroying peace, families, relationships, and governments. One of his biggest tools in his arsenal is wrong thinking and hate and just plain being an ugly soul. 

How can you have the joy of the Lord if you wake up each morning and fill your mind with anger towards different people groups? Instead of turning on the news or diving headfirst into social media try some praise and worship music. Say “hey Siri play Highlands Worship”.

Count your blessings today. Focus on good. Give people in your life who you can’t reach over to the Lord. Continue to pray and don’t lose heart. 

PRAYER: Lord God I choose joy over ugliness and help me shine your light into hurting people. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Washed Up

They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green. Psalm 92:14

One day I was pondering my age which will soon be 73 and said oh my goodness when did I get to be an ‘old person’? Seemingly I felt as if I jumped from 45 to 65 and beyond and our culture does nothing to build up older people. My dream is still to be a flight attendant yeah go laugh but it is true. 

When you have the milestone birthday of 40 often times party goers find it humorous to bring walkers, canes, and so forth but when you get there it is not a laughing matter. Some day we all may fall and not be able to get up. 

Today I am directing comments to the younger yuppie generation. Respect your elders and their elders. Our young nation was built on blood, sweat, and tears and you are to honor and respect those who paved the way for the life and freedoms you enjoy. Don’t shuffle your elders off to ‘a home’ but learn from them and live and respect them. 

PRAYER: Father guard my heart from worry and fear and help me each and every day embrace where I am. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Anger Gets You Nowhere

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

James 1:19-20 NIV Bible gateway 

When you are angry you say stupid things you regret later. You could hurt someone physically as well. You overreact and dig deeper holes that you will have to go back and recover from. Anger causes unnecessary fighting and even divorces and worse. 

Your anger can stem from not having God firmly on the throne of your life and believing lies the enemy tosses at you. You have to build your life on the truth of Jesus found only in scripture. 

God doesn’t  want you hating people to include politicians  but wants you to pray for your enemies it says in Matthew 5:44. As we approach Election Day in November pray for those people you would rather curse at and ask God to change your heart towards people you have bad thoughts about. 

PRAYER: Lord I want to be used by you to bring others to Christ but that won’t happen if I harbor hatred and anger in my heart. Purge anything in me that is not of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

At Wit’s End

"They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress."Psalm 107:27-28

What does being at your wits end mean? Maybe you just don’t know how to proceed with something or have a feeling of being confused or overwhelmed. 

The Lord wants you to have peace, joy, contentment and let things go weighing you down. Try getting up each day grateful for the ability to breathe and have your heart beating. Ask God how you can bring joy to another person. 

Each and every day you are alive God has a purpose for you so don’t beat yourself up when you can’t figure it out. Talk to Him in prayer. Give thanks for another day to make a difference. 

PRAYER: Lord thank you for my life. Thanks for my family and friends. Help me know who to reach out to today. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Renew Your Mind-The AI Threat

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

People need to think for themselves and decide for themselves and particularly little children need the skills to think and reason beyond the AI bubble that makes it too easy to get a flabby brain. 

Our minds need to be renewed daily through scripture and prayer and not through Chat GPT and News on TV. Learn to think and search and when it comes to children they need to learn how to think not what to think. 

Our minds are a great gift from God so we need to protect them. Don't funnel the worlds garbage and opinions in but rather read good books and the best Good Book the Bible and learn to keep a healthy mind. Don’t give your mind to Satan. 

PRAYER: Father help me keep my mind on things above. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Rise Up Godly Men

“But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.” 1 Timothy 6:11

There is nothing out of date about God’s design for society and the family where men are the primary bread winner and leader of their home. There has to be a person in charge and in God’s plan the man was the head of the woman. This doesn’t mean the female is not important or stupid just different design and different roles. 

You will note on TV and in the world, culture tries to belittle and squish man and make them feel puny as the woman rises up to the higher more powerful status as show after show depicts women as fire chiefs, mayors, judges, university presidents, police chiefs, school administrators and so forth. This is not saying a woman isn’t capable of that but by design God had a perfect plan. His word never changes either. 

The Promise Keepers movement has hopes of instilling in men the ability to be the men of God He intends them to be and to lead with grace and dignity taking care of  and honoring the weaker sex. The home has broken apart as a result of weak men and poor role models. Children and families suffer.  If you have gone through trauma due to a role God never intended you to have there is hope. Maybe your dad was not around. Continue to seek the Lord. Check link below for prayer support.God can heal and set free. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus help families stay together. Help men fulfill role God has for them. Help women not feel second class and be a good support for her husband if married. Praying your design for the family is embraced again. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Be A Light

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”Matthew 5:16

We are in a very confused world full of darkness and deceit. The enemy gets people thinking wrong is right and even twists scripture to justify many things. 

You might be the only ‘light’ in your neighborhood, in your class, at your place of employment, at your local gym, and many other places. God intends us to share his love and truth with those we encounter yet how many shy away or compromise. 

Too many people shy away from letting their views be known about their convictions but the main thing is to love what God loves and hate what He hates. 

PRAYER: Father help me stayed renewed and invigorated with truth. Guard my heart from ugliness. Help me love like you do. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

We Are All Called To Ministry

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.Ephesians 4:7

Everyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ is called to be a minister. Not a preacher per se but a minister in the area of life you are in daily. You are the hands and feet of Jesus or the salt of the Earth. 

This idea was presented recently in a sermon by Mark Pettus, senior pastor of Church of the Highlands in Alabama. Whatever you do be gentle and kind but also speak the truth in love. 

One of the best ways to minister almost everyone can do is to prayer walk a certain area. It could be through a community, near mayors office, schools, and so forth. I used to fly to DC to prayer walk lots before moving West. Just be safe and don’t be disruptive or interfere with operations, it is simply walking and silently praying. Now go bless someone. 

PRAYER: Father I desire to stay on your path and share good news with others. Keep me from sliding into negativity or judgment. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Wrong Voices Lead To Wrong Choices

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

If you make it a habit to feed your mind on controversy, politics, lies from the enemy and so forth pretty soon you may find yourself in quicksand of sorts sinking into the mire of Satan and can’t find a foothold to get out. 

On the other hand if you spend zero time in scriptures how will you hear God’s voice and know the truth? If you don’t know where to begin start in the book of John and begin with chapter 1. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak truth to you. 

As the mid term elections are coming you will hear all sorts of things. You have to vote like Jesus is there with you. You need to bring Godly values back to the United States. 

PRAYER: Father help me to be still to listen to your voice and let the Holy Spirit guide me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Stop Being Critical

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."Luke 6:37

I often share about myself lots to hope others who may read to know that I am far from having it all together. One of the things I need help on is being critical or judgmental. I don’t want to do it yet I find myself being caught in this trap. 

If you can attempt to look at everyone through the eyes of Jesus it might help. Don’t look at them with condemnation but with pity. 

If you start your day on a positive note and truly talk to God and tell Him what is on your heart and what you need help with He is there. As comical as it may sound say ‘Lord help me clean up my piles of clutter or make a run to the donation center.”God cares about you and is in the details. 

PRAYER: Father I need help to push forward to look at others through your eyes. Help me focus on those who the world condemns. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Shortcuts Not Always Best

The plans  of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.Proverbs 21:5

Have you ever tried to do something an easier way, a cheaper way, a smoother way and it turned into a disaster? Often times shortcuts are not the best. Following directions and not doing your own thing can yield more positive results. 

I thought if a comic example several years ago at Sun Valley Ski Resort when I did not follow my family and ended up needing help to get down the very steep beyond my ability slope. I thought I knew a short cut so veered off and it turned out I was no longer on a green(easy) run. 

There are no shortcuts to Jesus my friend only following the way, the truth, and the life but it is simple when your heart is right. Jesus wants everyone to come to Him and ask Him into their hearts. Have you found new life in Christ? 

PRAYER: Father help me to not be shy sharing the Good News with people. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
