Daily I hear of so much that people are facing and going through..and every time I hear these things I always think to myself they need to get to Jesus..for if they get to the Lord…then the Lord will help them..for only the Lord can mend and satisfy us and our hearts..only the Lord can give us the strength it is that we need to face the challenges and obstacles that we face from time to time in life..for if only this whole world had Jesus imagine how wonderful that would be..people face so much guys..and they go through so much..and for some they can’t seem to find their way out of the darkness..it just seems to continually get worse for them and their lives..that’s why when we go about our days..we should always be filled up ourselves guys..we should always be ready and willing to reach out with love and compassion and pray for people..for they need that..people who are hurting need all the hope they can get..they need the words of encouragement..they need to know that Jesus loves them and that He hears them…they need to know that their not alone in this life that we all live..that Jesus is always with them..Deuteronomy 31:8..and that they can call on Him anytime day or night and that He will be right there for them..for it isn’t just a one time thing that we go and talk with the Lord but it is a daily thing..we daily have to get fed and filled up with the Lord..we daily have to make time and spend time with God..for we live in a fallen and cruel world guys..and evil is rampant and on every side of us..but we must know that the Lord will stand with us and that God is for us..Romans 8:28-31..and that the Lord gives His angels charge over us..Psalm 91:11..that no weapon formed against us will prosper..Isaiah 54:17..we must know that Jesus payed it all on calvary for you and for me..that we could go free..and live a life of freedom..for the devil is roaming about guys seeking whom he may desire..1 Peter 5:8..he is always up to something..always working to deceive us in any and every way it is that he can…a heard a lady today in the store say that her husband wanted a divorce..and that they have two small boys..and so she stood there crying talking with her friend..and all the while I stood there listening to this my heart was breaking for her and her sons..because that’s how it happens little by little that ole evil one sneaks his way in and begins taking away from us..and for some they think that will never happen to them..but guys it can..so guard your home..guard your life..guard your freedom…don’t take your family for granted..don’t take your freedom for granted..don’t take your health for granted..and don’t ever take your joy..your peace..your love or your salvation for granted..because that devil wants it all..he wants us to live defeated lives..he doesn’t want us to live a victorious life..for when we are made right in our lives..were able to be right with others and help them along the way in their lives..so today you stand guard over your home..over  your family..over your well being..you stand guard over your relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord..stay close to Him always..stay inside the gates…Amen…for God is in control over our lives..and we are to be His hands and His feet…spreading the good news to all that will hear..that Jesus saves..and that Jesus is the only way to heaven..there is no other way..John 14:6..for we all need to realize that yes it is so true that every one we will ever meet in all of our lives are fighting some kind of battle..so let us all be kinder than necessary..and yet once again loving all and not merely few..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
