Not My Will

 

Not My Will

    It is written in Luke 22:42, Jesus prayed "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

    Even Jesus, who had lived a sinless life, poured Himself out for His disciples, and performed numerous and spectacular miracles, continued in His perfection by surrendering His will to the Father's here, knowing it would result in His sacrifice for us. Today, we'll look at where and how we can surrender to the Father's will in our finances.

    First, realize that our flesh will always "speak" to us in opposition to God. Galatians 5:17 states "For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature)." Areas of money and indebtedness are just another part of our lives where the flesh tries to steer us towards disobedience from God.

    Look at the boxes below, where it is showing the difference between the thoughts and impulses coming from our flesh (our will), then the Word of God showing us the path to obedience (His will):

    

    Our flesh will usually be coming at us with those thoughts from above on the left, so how do we address it? God shows us in 2 Corinthians 10:5, "Casting down the imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

    Just as quickly as the spark from an advertisement or seeing something that tries to ignite us, we need to douse that and replace it with what God's Word speaks to the situation, before it grows into us attempting to rationalize a way around His will.

    Each one of those major areas in the boxes above carries an oncoming loss from following the thoughts on the left, and latter regret - while God Himself promises to send blessings to those who are obedient to His will on the right.

    Lastly, as our initial focus was on Jesus surrendering to follow His Father's will, in going to the cross, it was later written in Hebrews 12:2 - "For the joy that was set before him endured the cross". Jesus was not focused on his suffering, neither should we be focused on what our flesh says "we miss out on" by being obedient. Jesus was seeing the joy of obedience to the Father and the resulting lives of ours that would be saved. We too should set our sights on the blessings from the Father, to make that the joy set before you, for your obedience to His will.

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

    

    

The Debt

 

The Debt

There is a debt we all were born with, that every single person... past, present and future owes. There is no amount of wealth that can pay it off, nor any number of good deeds or works performed that will retire or even reduce it. 

    The Bible states in Romans 3:23 that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God".  It matters not that one person may have tried to be good from their youth, while another has rebelled and lived a life full of destruction - both of their eternal outcomes will be the same... unless they receive the atonement, the payment for their sins that is the centerpiece in all of God's Word provided by His Son Jesus Christ.

    Those who believe that doing good works will get them to Heaven lack the understanding of what God says in His own Word that our righteousness and best deeds and justice are as "filthy rags" in Isaiah 64.

 

    Thinking that being good or performing works will suffice is like a person owing a financial debt to the banker and then arriving at the bank to pay with Monopoly money.  It doesn't matter how much they brought, the banker will certainly not accept it as payment for the debt. God states in His Word what is the only payment for sin... in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death.

 

    However, the remainder of that verse contains our hope..."but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  He was the one who paid our debt, by the shedding of His blood for our sins - paying our penalty, and God credits that to the account of those who believe and He declares them righteous because of what Jesus did in His awesome love for humanity.

    Consider that if there really was any way possible for man to pay for his own sins... that would then mean Jesus left Heaven, came to earth and suffered an excruciating death for no reason. 

    The late Charles Stanley simply stated it as "Jesus is called Savior because He came to rescue us from the penalty of our sins."

 

    We have been given the ultimate gift in Christ, and have done nothing to earn it. Our proper mindset is to be humble and receive it as a gift and be grateful. What if you had given a gift to someone, and they instead regarded it as something they earned from you? How would you feel? Salvation is a free gift extended to us.

 

    If you have accepted Jesus, as we have remembered and celebrated this month His crucifixion and triumphant resurrection over death, let us regard that we owed a debt which we could not pay... and He paid that debt for which He did not owe.

 

    If you have not yet accepted the free gift of salvation, given by the blood Jesus shed on the cross for your sins, there is no better time than right now to answer the call God has placed on your heart, and be reconciled to Him forever.

 

    You can ask God right now to save you, to accept Jesus as your Savior. In Romans 10:9 it is written "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."  And you can know that your debt has been paid in full.

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

 

Paul

For God

 

For God

"The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

    These words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 25:40 were to let us know how much and how personally The Lord Himself views acts of giving we as believers do. Today we're going to look into this and other verses of encouragement that we can relate to giving in our finances.

    This first verse is so awesome, in that it is relaying now, exactly one of the "scenes" that will take place in the time to come... that in His complete knowledge of us He is regarding every single instance we reached out in love towards others. The verses in Matthew preceding this were of the acts of kindness done, in giving food, drink, lodging, clothing and by visiting and caring. Some of those acts involved giving of time and effort, and others had an actual cost.

    That cost of giving generously to others in the name of the Lord, is simply immeasurable in three ways: (1) The impression it can make on the other person towards the Lord, it can reshape their view of God, that they really are loved by Him. (2) The advancing of His kingdom here on earth. (3) Those treasures are now being stored in heaven, as we'll cover in our next verses below.

    "Do not gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal." (Matthew 6:20)

    Jesus was simply illustrating the difference between two ways of handling treasure - that all we gather on earth is eventually destroyed, and all we gather (give or use) towards heaven will last eternally. This flows with the first verse of Him remembering our acts of kindness being regarded as unto the Lord, and here stating He remembers the treasures we chose to yield to Him.

    The ways He wants to personally relate to us and us to Him, come through shining below.

    "Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men" (Colossians 3:23). We can receive strength, encouragement and a lifting of our burden in doing our occupation working unto the Lord.

    "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My House. And test Me now with this," says the Lord of Hosts, "if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and pour you out a blessing without measure." (Malachi 3:10). See how personally God is speaking to us in giving, and how He will respond Himself? 

    "Come to me, all of you who weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". (Matthew 11:28). Cast your burdens, financial and otherwise on Him, and receive the peace and rest He promises.

    And lastly, be encouraged that our God knows all and will remember your efforts:

God is not unjust, he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10)

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

    

    

Love Is

 

Love Is

    If you have been a believer in Christ for any length of time, you probably know the verses Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13 about what love is quite well. Today, we will look at how living out certain parts of those verses can translate in our finances.

Love endures long

When you're facing the temptation to plunge into debt right now for something, instead of waiting until you have the funds or waiting for the proper timing God is showing you - this requires longer-term endurance and faith in Him, what His word says and remembering what He spoke to you. We can be encouraged to wait by remembering that He who spoke this loves us dearly, knows what is the best for us and wants that for us.

Love is patient

Similar to the character above, but this can be more directed to the near-term, having patience to put off that purchase until the next paycheck, to not move forward until you've explored all options - like a different model, seller, or to consider a pre-owned item. By waiting when you sense God is showing you to do so may open a different door you had not expected, but He knew all along.

Love is kind

The root word of kind relates to showing oneself useful and to act benevolently. We can carry this out in being sensitive to needs we see and giving towards those needs, especially to those in poverty. To get deeper into this, I encourage you to click on the Archives section to the right of this page and go to the November 2021 post titled "Giving Is Living"

Love never is envious or boils over with jealousy

Simply stated, one of the worst things we can do is to view someone else's belongings and foster envy for them and be jealous. The first "victim" in this mindset is that is wipes out our gratitude to the Lord for what He has provided us - I feel our thankfulness to the Lord is one of the most precious things to protect. The envy then drives our hearts towards these things and erodes our heart for the things of the Lord.

Love is not boastful and does not display itself haughtily

In Psalm 62:10 it is written "if riches increase, set not your heart on them". Remembering that the Lord is our source will anchor our hearts and help keep us from yielding to the fleshly desire to act boastful, with pride and arrogance trying to impress others with material things. Going back to the earlier action of giving to others (not to be seen), it is the opposite of being prideful, for it is yielding to God's will.

Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way

In the marriage relationship regarding finances, sometimes one spouse will have a greater appetite for spending, while the other wants to pay down debts and save. While we need to be open to the needs of our spouse for certain things and not insist on our own way, the household's overall direction should be to follow God's word and seek to keep out of debt and owe no one anything as it is written in Romans 13:8. If both spouses will yield to this principle in unity, God's blessings will follow after them.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes

Whether the "thing" that comes is a job loss, a sudden expensive event out of the blue, or a lack of foresight that resulted in sizeable debt. Whether together in marriage or single, our focus is to cling to the Lord (and if married, cling closer to each other in unity during this season). We're given the instruction for how to proceed in Philippians 4:8 - "Be anxious for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God." Staying connected with God during this time with strengthen you to bear up through it.

    Go to the top of the post and look at the picture of the heart garland which has some of the characteristics of love written on them. Consider how they are connected together, and that as we yield to live out those ways of love we are then more closely connected together with God, who wrote them.

    Lastly, be encouraged by the two verses below, that although they are from different books and authors, I feel they tie together nicely in their order, giving us the direction to go:

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. (1 John 4:12)

Do everything in love. (1 Corinthians 16:14)

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly too you,

Paul

2026 - The Strength Of The Ox

 

2026 - The Strength Of The Ox

"Where no oxen are, the crib is empty, but much increase [of crops] comes by the strength of the ox." (Proverbs 14:4)

    As we begin 2026, I want to share my longtime thoughts about an aspect of this verse, and how applying the wisdom from it can help in managing our finances.

    Going way back, many times I sensed a parallel of the benefits of the ox to the use of technology and innovation - especially in the workplace, as I saw how the company I worked for of humble beginnings grew leveraging technology from being literally a garage start-up to having their first million dollar month in a relatively short timeframe.

    So, how and where can we apply technology to our finances? Let's cover some today.

    Start with the area of tracking your spending. You can do this yourself, building a basic digital spreadsheet in Excel, entering the categories you've spent on and then staying with it to see how much you've spent and what needs to be adjusted. You can also purchase software that will create budget spreadsheets and will produce reports and graphics for illumination.

    One budget spreadsheet for purchase to consider is from the site "Mama's On A Budget", which offers biblically-based tools to help set up an easy to use sheet. Here is their website:

https://mamasonabudget.org/

    To apply more effortless and powerful technology in this approach, there are financial tracking tools available for a subscription fee (some have free versions) which are very powerful. A few well-rated apps are shown below, with each having certain strengths.

EveryDollar (from Dave Ramsey)

YNAB (You Need a Budget)

Simplifi by Quicken

Rocket Money

Monarch

    This post is not to endorse certain apps... though I was very impressed with the first two above. Dave Ramsey's site provides action steps and helps to set aside money towards finding margin to pay off debts. View the apps/sites above to point you in the direction of locating one that will work for you personally. The ones which automatically link to your bank accounts will reduce your time and effort to see results. Most will auto-categorize your spending. 

    Most apps will require a subscription fee, and my general advice is to avoid as many subscription fees as possible, but given how implementing these particular apps will in turn show you how to save money each month towards paying down debts (some even provide coaching advice for paying off debts), they will prove to be worth it. Concerning subscriptions, one feature is they will show you what you are spending on them and allow you to unsubscribe with a few clicks.

    How about spending less money when you do spend?

    For groceries and online shopping, investigate apps such as ibotta, Fetch Rewards, Rakuten and Checkout 51. You can locate offers, scan receipts and receive credit towards gift cards or reward payments in return for your loyalty.

    For gas, it could not be any easier to save money than by downloading the GasBuddy app and then being able to quickly locate the best prices for gas in your neighborhood, or somewhere else when you are on the go and otherwise have no knowledge of the area.

    Instead of rummaging through garage sales (which can be fun sometimes), if you have a need for an item and are open to pre-owned, utilize the technology of Craigslist. There, you can quickly search for specific items while placing specific limitations of price range and location.

    For dining out or to-go, leverage the benefits of signing up for the restaurant's dining clubs. Granted, you do have to deal with e-mails arriving almost daily, but they will include timely discounts for dining with them and many will offer free birthday and anniversary meals and desserts. Groupon is another easy tool to locate dining and entertainment discounts for places that do not have their own discount club.

    When you've identified a certain item you want to purchase, a quick check of Google coupon codes can show you if a discount can be applied.

    Please consider the amount of time you already spend using technology in less than productive ways - by gaming, social media scrolling, surfing and such, and instead taking a portion of that time to apply some of the suggestions above and have that technology bring you tangible benefits that can help pay down debts and progress towards debt-freedom in 2026.

    And lastly, be encouraged to lean on Who is greater than technology, for the Lord knows more than all the search engines of the planet put together, can move faster than the greatest supercomputer man can create, has deeper and more specific wisdom for you than the ultimate A.I. to yet be devised. Seek and learn and follow His voice from the Holy Spirit to you, for He will provide specific direction... knowing all that is out there, seen and unseen which affects you personally.

Our Lord is great and powerful. There is no limit to what he knows. 

(Psalms 147:5)

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

Virtuous and Noble

 Virtuous and Noble

    In Proverbs 31:10 it is written, "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies" (BRG), and stated in another translation is "Who can find a wife of noble character? She is far more precious than jewels" (CSB). Given the quality of praise attached to this woman of great character in Proverbs 31, today we will look at how some of those traits can be applied to any of us... man or woman, in our finances.

    In verse 17 it says, "She gets ready to work hard. Her arms are strong" (NIRV), it is also described as "She is energetic, a hard worker" (TLB). This is how we are instructed to apply ourselves in our occupation - to be ready to work and energetic, and aligns perfectly with Colossians 3:23, where we are to work unto the Lord and not unto men.

    Working unto the Lord provides us with strength beyond what we can muster ourselves, fortitude to keep going, and going with encouragement to other coworkers when challenges arise. If we follow this woman's level of effort in the workplace, it will stand out to management and return to bless us, and will speak as a testimony to those around us... opening the door to speak of eternal things to them.

    Verse 27 reads "She looks well to how things go in her household." We can apply this towards knowing where we are spending our money at all times. If you want to be in a better place reducing debts and eliminating them, the best, immediate action you can take is to record every time you spend for a month or two, and look over the results. You will see the veil removed, exposing larger amounts than you expected in certain areas. 

    If you want to see results, please take five minutes and click on the Archives section and read the October 2023 post titled "The X-Ray", where we focus on using the tool of recording and reflecting on expenses to bring about change.

    A vital piece of instruction comes from verse 16, "She considers a new field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]" (AMPC). This can be applied to a huge number of areas in our lives. With our finances, to sit down soberly and consider our current monthly obligations before we sign ourselves to new ones, to genuinely question if we really need to make a sizeable purchase in light of our overall picture and goals.

    I could write an entire post from this verse 16, and how much of a difference it makes to apply its wisdom - that usually the main hurdles are to be humble enough to do so and to take the time to consider that new field spoken of. But you can also receive volumes of instruction right now, by stepping back and taking a look at past decisions made... when you took the time to consider that new field, and the benefit you received from doing so, and when you did not and later had regret.

    Verse 20 it is written, "Her hands reach out to the poor, and she extends her hands to the needy" (CSB). This shows how she is in a frame of mind consistently to be aware of those in need around her, which as we should know, is very close to the heart of the Lord. If you choose to give to ministries who serve the needs of the poor, I encourage you to give to those who serve in the name of Jesus Christ... who go beyond fulfilling an immediate physical need, but also minster to the complete person and lead them towards salvation.

    I feel the Denver Rescue Mission is one of several great organizations who does this. They help restore the lives of people experiencing homelessness and addiction through emergency services, rehabilitation, transitional programs and community outreach with the goal of returning them to society as productive, self-sufficient citizens. Their website is denverrescuemission.org.

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

    

No One

 

No One

    "No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." (Matthew 6:24)

    These words spoken by Jesus Christ were to make it clear that there is a choice to be made... in our hearts, that there is no middle ground, and that no one is exempt from the principle. Jesus sought to show people who were trusting in their riches that there was someone much greater to trust in.                         

    When situations arise, we will not encounter the scene shown above - with two clear roads and puffy clouds signaling each direction. But it will be evident to those believers who read and retain His Word, listen to His voice and are patient to wait and make the wise decision.

    Jesus used the verb "serve" twice in the verse, its definition includes the meaning of to be a servant and to be of use. As believers in Christ, we want to be a servant unto Him and to be of use in every area... including our finances.

    It may seem outlandish to some that they serve money, but consider those, who when they are paid, their very first thought is to what they can spend it on... right now, first, and they may later drop a token amount in the offering if they attend church. 

    Contrast this with the path in serving God faithfully. The believer first recognizes where his wealth has come from, as it is written in Deuteronomy 8:18 - "But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth". In response, he or she then sets aside from their gain to honor the Lord in tithes and offerings, following Proverbs 3:9, "Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency and with the firstfruits of all your income".

    Look at those who plunge themselves into deep debt because they feel they have to have to newest and best things in so many areas. They strain to earn more and more to keep serving this appetite. Then when additional money does come their way, they agree to additional debt for bigger and better things and continue serving. 

    On the other side, the one who is mindful of the Lord, recalls His Word guiding him from Romans 13:8 to "Keep out of debt and owe no many anything, except to love one another." And they lean on 1 Timothy 6:8, "But if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content." 

    And as it relates to others in need, God's Word succinctly communicates it to us in one verse... "There are those who generously scatter abroad, and yet increase more; there are those who withhold more than is fitting or what is justly due, but it results only in want." (Proverbs 11:24). This defies reason, but it is because God's hand is at work, increasing more to those who give generously (serving God) so they can abound to every good work, while the other person (serving money) finds themselves wanting more and more and still being unsatisfied.

    We also need to regard soberly that Jesus stated no one is exempt from this. The Lord has made it plain from His perspective in knowing all things that every human being as they live will serve one or the other... God or money.

    In closing, if you are unsure and you really want to gauge where you stand in your serving, I bring to you in love the words Christ said in Matthew 6:21:

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

    

Cars

 

Cars

"An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

                                            (Proverbs 18:15)

    Given that after your home, cars will be the second largest thing that you purchase, speaks to the importance of gaining as much knowledge as we can before we set foot onto the car dealer's lot.

    The first decision to make is to soberly view your finances and arrive at a final price that is reasonable and within your budget. And you know from reading this post over time that I encourage you stay out of debt if at all possible, but if you are stuck, and must take a loan out, do not let it be for more than 36 months. If a car loan is longer, you will owe more than the car is worth until the last few months. 

    I encourage you to purchase and not lease a vehicle, a lease is merely rent and after the period you have to turn in the car with zero to show for it - and possibly have to pay more for high mileage or other stipulations. Purchasing your car, you'll own it outright and can choose to sell it or trade it in towards the cost of your next vehicle.

    The next decision to make is to buy new or used... I encourage you to be open to pre-owned vehicles, a new car loses about half its value in the first few years. You can buy 3-5 year old cars that are in "like new" condition at a huge discount from brand new.

    Thanks to advancements in engineering, manufacturing, better materials and improved lubricants, the average lifespan of cars has increased substantially over time. The current average in the U.S. is over 16 years and 150,000 miles, so you can purchase a 5-year old vehicle (at a large discount) and receive over a decade of service on average.

    Another drawback to a new vehicle is the increased insurance expense (which you also have to make room for in your budget), for the insurance company to cover the replacement cost of a new vehicle, which in June 2025 averaged over $48,000.

    Once you determine your needs for the type of vehicle, do the research extensively and let it lead you to the most reliable models in that class. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that it gets you safely to your destination - don't fall for buying a slick-looking design that does not have reliability... it will not look as good on the side of the road with you waiting for the tow truck to arrive :-).

    With online technology we have an enormous advantage from the past to easily locate many prospective cars in our area. When you're down to zeroing in on what may be "the one" for you, handle it this way:

- When taking the first test drive, obtain a comprehensive vehicle data report and even consider a second report from another provider to confirm the information.

- Wait and take a second test drive the next day, this gives you time to assess the first encounter, sleep on it and allow the Lord to provide direction.

- After the second test drive, have a local mechanic do an inspection of the vehicle. If the seller will not allow it, consider moving on to another seller. An inspection is a reasonable price to pay versus the cost of the car to make sure it does not contain an unknown repair or issue not evident from the test drives.

- Then, if you still feel peace from the Lord, go in confidence.

    Your insurance expense is one of the big chunks to owning a vehicle. To maximize your dollars in this area of necessity, do these things:

Unless you are 100% satisfied with your carrier, shop around and see what your rate can be for the same coverage elsewhere. Continue to do this annually.

Pull out your policy, read it, understand what every piece of coverage represents and determine if you need each of the areas that it covers, such as road service, car rental, medical, etc.

Especially be scrutinizing the deductible amount on the policy. A low deductible means higher rates. Consider raising your deductible to lower your rates and pay for the smaller occurrences yourself.

    

    Then, take good care of your vehicle, mindful of the amount you have invested in it to begin with. Stay on top of oil changes and routine maintenance, and even consider taking classes to learn how to handle the basics on your own and save the money. There are local community education classes (an example of one is in the link below) where you can learn how to repair and maintain your car in less than a day.

https://denvertoollibrary.org/automotive-classes

    You can also view online videos to assist in performing some basic repairs or replacements - specific to your vehicle. This tool has helped me work through some tricky circumstances.

And lastly, when considering everything with the second largest item you will purchase, remember to stick with these words from Proverbs 4:6 :

"Do not abandon wisdom, and it will watch over you. Love wisdom and it will protect you."

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul

    

    

    

God Will Provide

 

God Will Provide

And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering." So they went both of them together. (Genesis 22:8)

    Please take a moment and reflect on how powerful three of the words are from this verse that Abraham spoke in faith.

God - Abraham is stating this work will be done by Elohim, the first name for God from the Hebrew Bible as the majestic ruler over all. He's being specific as to who will be doing this.

Will - Abraham is speaking from the witness he's received from time alone with God, knowing in his heart it is God's will to meet this need.

Provide - Abraham is saying the Lord will make adequate preparation for this event.

    It is even more enlightening to view the Easy-to-Read Version (ERV), as it declares "God himself is providing the lamb for the sacrifice, my son." I feel the use of the word providing brings the timing and action into context, that God was already working "behind the scenes", causing the ram to move into their area and be later caught in a thicket.

    This brings my thoughts to the worship song "Way Maker" we sing in our church. As it's lyrics include:

Even when I don't see it, You're working, 

Even when I don't feel it, You're working,

You never stop, You never stop working. 

    Reading from Romans 11:36, it is written "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things..." Because all things began with Him, He is the only One who can promise to us that He will provide and be able to fulfill it, as He causes all things to align with His will.

    Later in Genesis 22, when the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham, stopping him from slaying his son... and then the ram appeared - this caused Abraham to name that place Mount Moriah Jehovah Jireh, meaning The Lord Will Provide.

    I will share that after my wife Karen and I began teaching the class "Debt-Free & Prosperous Living", the very first couple who responded back with the victory and testimony that they had paid off their mortgage were members of Jehovah Jireh Church of God in Christ, Deacon William Henry and Sister Bonnae Byrd.

    If you are interested in attending a free 3-hour class in the future, please contact Broomfield Assembly.

    So, before there becomes a necessity, I encourage you to feed your faith with these verses, so you are prepared in your heart as Abraham was, to declare that the Lord will provide for you:

And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)

God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will overflow in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8)

The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles (Psalm 34:17)

God Bless you and may He show Himself greatly to you,

Paul
