Is it something one chooses to separate him or herself to attend the greatest schools to receive prestigious degrees and rewards for the respect and admirations from others for them to deem you qualified to be chosen By God to make disciples. I’m not saying its bad to seek wisdom and learn the word of God. But to do so to entertain other Scholars and Doctors that can quote the word of God with their fancy speeches and big words that only speak in the audience of others that are like themselves as the Pharisees did in the past. Knowing the Word of God is never complete just by simply Quoting it, Knowing the Word of God is when you get results

God demonstrated His love for us by giving the most extravagant gift possible—the life of His Son. Jesus accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life He bought for us. He willingly gave up the comforts of heaven so that we might receive God’s love. This world will disappoint us, but God’s love never will. The promise of His love is available to everyone at no additional cost; our only burden is to accept it.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:7-12).

Tribulations are only noisy threats that are made by the enemy. You may see destruction on your left and right sides but when you notice that you are still standing you realize that our Father makes good on His promises. Then the noisy threats you hear from the enemy is just noise with no power.

Be very careful then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.

So much is going on in our nation and around the world. On one hand, the days are indeed evil ... but still. Let the light of God flow through us so that we might shine in the darkness. sometimes I'm tempted to fear the future. Will there be terrorist attacks near me? pandemic? Financial collapse?

My apologies Brothers and sisters, I haven't properly introduced myself.
I have come from humble beginnings. I know what it means to fully depend on God. I've endured every possible abuse a child could've gone through. From being born in a Broken home to an abusive father, having to flee with my mother and four other siblings by living on the streets at the age of eight. to moving in with other relatives only to be taken advantage of, molested by other relatives and beaten by a so called "... moreMy apologies Brothers and sisters, I haven't properly introduced myself.
I have come from humble beginnings. I know what it means to fully depend on God. I've endured every possible abuse a child could've gone through. From being born in a Broken home to an abusive father, having to flee with my mother and four other siblings by living on the streets at the age of eight. to moving in with other relatives only to be taken advantage of, molested by other relatives and beaten by a so called "Friend of the Family". When I was ten, we moved out my mother finally landed a job and rented out a place. one Saturday morning, we went to a church that was having a major spring cleaning that we took part in, and it was the day I had my first visitation. I'm looking up at this bright tall man in regular clothes he sits me down and shared with me John 3:16. he told me what God had done and how much He loves me he introduced me to Jesus Christ, and I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. He told me that other angles were celebrating my choice that day. He gave me a small green Gideons Bible and instructed me to read the book of John then Matthew Mark and Luke. I promised him that I would read it. He smiled and gave me a big hug then he was gone. When we got home, I picked out a spot and started reading. I did what he told me to do but I couldn't stop. My eyes of understanding began opening up to why we, as true believers, must endure hardship from the world and the hardship we place on ourselves by making rash and rushed decisions. The Word of God taught me how to deal with the advisory's deceptions and hoe to see and treat everyone/everything as God's creation. You've asked why I seek to join the ranks of the Templar Knights... It's to minister to others that are going through and have been misled by the same deceptions that I've endured. My Heart is for the homeless and batted children as well as the men and women everywhere. They are my mission, and I know I can't do it alone. I believe my path is to become brothers in arms with-in the ranks of the Knights Templar. The Holy Spirit has led me here and here I will stay until I draw my last breath.
