2 Timothy chapter 3…There will be terrible times in the last days.

As the time changes , as the seasons move on and the years pass…people will say these are that these are the  last days and JESUS will return soon. But people have been saying this since Jesus left the first time centuries ago. Those of us who seek after JESUS and want to be with Him for all of eternity , want to be with Him and to see GOD face to face and be in eternal peace forever.

The return of our savior…..those of us who have accepted JESUS as our savior and the key to getting into heaven await joyfully for Him. These are terrible times yes, but even JESUS does not know when he will return to take the righteous home with Him.

Reading the Bible gives me peace and comfort. And anyone who loves GOD knows what this kind of comfort is truly. There are some who will pretend to, but when you have the love of GOD in you know who is linked into what you feel.

When those of you who are reading this who seek to witness to encourage others to follow the Lord…do so lovingly., I do pray you will speak JEsus to be her savior.

In reading 2 Timothy chapter 3

2 Timothy 3      New International Version (NIV)

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy

10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

There is hope for all mankind who WANT it. GOD is not going to force us to love HIM. Just as you would not force anyone to love you, you know all well in good it would not be sincere and you would be lying to yourself if you think you were able to do so.

Trust in GOD, read His word, study the words and how He tells us the ways of a true happy and righteous life that will give you total peace with Him.

I have to impress upon you all who do read my writings to you , every person I meet and see I wonder if I will meet up with them in heaven when GOD says it is time. I do not want anyone to end up where the evil one will sent for all of eternity long. If you think you have sinned and GOD will not forgive you, you need to turn to GOD, learn to know who JESUS is and why GOD set Him to earth!

We all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of GOD. ALL of us….not one was or is like JESUS. We all will be judged by what we do. So to find this peace , you will not have with your friends that love the world and the ways of the world that do NOT love GOD and the people who do.

Once you leave that circle of friends , it will be hard because they will tempt you to return to their circle and way of life you were in. See they are still under the cloak of confusion of the world as it states in 2nd Timothy 3:1-5 what I copied for you above in this post.

Yes these days are getting closer to the time of JESUS’s return. Get ready for Him. Be apart of the JESUS family and have unconditional love and peace for all eternity with Him in the house of GOD. GOD is good, and ALL of the time GOD is good! Praise GOD! 🙂

Peace be with you all, and may GOD bless and guide you in all your ways! 🙂

 

GOD sent.

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Hello all,

Upstate ny the weather will show you at different times of the year different temperature per season. And one of them will freeze you up pretty good, winter is notorious for it.

My pipes froze solid for weeks last winter not knowing whom I could call.

It is always good to pray and to depend on GOD. For HE is the only help we know of that will send people in time of need.

Be it from a good refrigerator (a different friend helped with that when the old one died), to insulation from my neighbors, (just in case you all are reading this post), may GOD give you the righteous desires of your hearts

Thank you 😊 🙏🏾

There were many things that I can testify to as positive events in my life this past year as happening.

But GOD being all knowing and wise will lead the right people to you in your hour of need. There were major issues that was happening to my home during the winter back in the beginning of this year.

Not knowing who I could call for help without being cheated out of tons of money that I did not have, our beloved FATHER GOD sent my neighbors by and they saw the need. Knowing what to do they fixed the problem without taking any money!

All done for free! See that was a pure perfect blessing I didn’t see coming that had them yo come over to help. Saved us a fortune that I don’t have. Not many people are like them!

I am able with GOD’S grace to have hot and cold running water to use. No struggle with buying water and then heating it up to bathe in either.

GOD is good and good all the time!

Peace and blessings!

Peculiar people.

Hello everyone.

When you are a Christian who loves Jesus and seeks to be with Him in all eternity you are always noticed. Be it good or bad results from others you are noticed. You will walk into a room full of people. There will be where one group or even the whole crowd will be in a conversation with each other and suddenly stop and stare at you.

You may have only a small selection of friends that you can truly call your friend. And there is nothing wrong with that. For we are to put GOD first and foremost at all times too, many friends will distract you from what our beloved FATHER GOD wants us to do.

Let us stick to what the word of GOD will say about us followers of JESUS. We are a chosen generation of people. We are not going to behave like most people who are secular, nor dress like them either. We are made fun of and hated by people who hate GOD and HIS son JESUS.

So they will not have any respect for us either, But GOD has the last laugh always.

Don’t give into the ways of the world for they are following the enemy. They are on the team that has lost even before it has begun. The enemy was kicked out of heaven. Uses the creation of mankind to get back at GOD for it. Those that love sin will have no idea of what you are talking about will even feel conviction when mentioning satans fall from heaven.

1 Peter 2:9King James Version

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Whatever gifts that the LORD has given you to promote or lead more people into being a follower of JESUS Christ let no one distract you from it. For we are followers of JESUS and need to testify of HIS grace, goodness and mercy.

When the next time comes around and you get those stares from those who do not follow JESUS then you will know you are of a peculiar people. Chosen. Give all honor and glory to GOD almighty now and forever.

Peace and blessings be to you.

Katz’s Deli in NYC

I thank GOD for the good blessing of a good mother. For she has taken me to places as a child I really enjoyed. One of them was Katz’s Deli in NYC. We did go to Carnegie Deli too before it shut down 2016. I tell you they both were good. From the Pastrami sandwiches on rye (with the seeds) to the knishes, the pickle, the Cherry coke, the smell of the food cooking to those franks too.

All good.

All delish.

I had to move from that area, and it takes hours to get there. So, I miss it until I am able to get there to get my food.

GOD will make a way. A good way!

Peace and blessings!

Bible study to stay in perpetual learning.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone,

I have not posted in a few weeks. Had to do things in my personal life to make sure it gets done. There are times when we are going through a “season of trial(s)” that will bring us even closer to GOD than we would have expected to be going through. Toughening up the armor of GOD to get through it. So that we can testify to others that who are going through what we went through, how we got through it.

We get through these trials with the help of GOD ALMIGHTY. I have been through some where it seemed to get me going through something I would not wish on anyone. For it took constant prayer and just waiting on the LORD GOD. Fasting and prayer, Bible study and learning to LEAVE the burden with GOD and not to mess with it. Just walk away.

That is hard to do. But see with the studying of the word you can be led to the correct scripture to read, see the answer that you need with the prayer too. Whatever is your burden, leave it at the cross. There will be times when you feel you need to just be curious, as to know what GOD is doing with that burden.

You dont need to because if you gave it to the LORD it is HIS now and HE is fixing it so it will be right. GODS right is the only way of what can be right. Putting GOD 1st at all times too, in all that you do. The study is also comforting. You are up lifted.

I came across Kittie Rose as through one of my social media accounts feeds. I have been listening to what she had to say regarding relationships.

Here Bible study is interesting. I find that eith the amount of versions of KJV, NIV, NLV, and NKJV Bibles that she will get into is good study. I prefer the KJV foremost. The others are more translated into how people speak today.

If we are not careful, we could fall off the the original meaning of what GOD has intended for mankind to abide by. Some words nowadays have double meanings. For instance the word bad. Bad is now can mean good.

Prayer with study is must. We need to lean on GOD’S understanding and not of our own ar all times. From 1st waking up in the morning until we head off to sleep at night.

Find a quiet space to study and pray. Because you need to be able to hear GOD as you pray. You want to hear what HE is saying in reply to your prayers.

There should never be any distractions.

Concentrate on GOD.

Bible study will give you a good peace into a good night’s sleep as well too.

Ecclesiastes 5:12

12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

May our beloved FATHER GOD guide us as we all study HIS word as how HE has intended us to understand.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Halloween is the celebration of death and dying.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

Those of us that choose to celebrate halloween are worshipping samhain a pagan God. This holiday celebrates demons.

Christian people should never celebrate this pagan holiday . Nor trunk or treat. This is celebrating halloween but under a different name. Many churches will do this and I don’t agree with it

This halloween is celebrating whatever they do in the dark. Darkness covers what they do in evil. It is a Wiccan holiday.

You will see the gorey images, statues, blowup balloons, and other theme like seen in horror movies. Its like the people who have all of that stuff on their lawn have opened the gates of hell. And all of that stuff escaped from it.

Halloween used to have little cute ghosts like Casper, witches on a broom and vampires. Now you see plastic bloody body parts. Nightmare stuff.

What does the Bible say about dwelling in the works of evil and darkness?

Ephesians 5:11 – And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians 4:27 – Neither give place to the devil.

1 Corinthians 10:21 – Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

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

Leviticus 19:31 – Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 – When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.   

Ephesians 5:6-12 – Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.   

1 Chronicles 10:13 – So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

Deuteronomy 18:9 – When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Acts 19:13-20 – Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.   

1 John 5:19 – And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Leviticus 20:27 – A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Romans 10:9 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Isaiah 5:20 – Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2 Corinthians 6:14 – 7:1 – Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  

If you celebrate halloween, stop for your souls sake. Repent from these pagan celebrations that promote wickedness and darkness and come into the light of our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Depending on JESUS.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

There is no one person that has walked the face of the earth that we can depend on other than JESUS. Many people know this and have delt with issues where they were dealing with deceitful people.

We all have had our share of them too. From when we were children to adults. They all have the same strategy of operation. To convince and decieve.

But when we depend on JESUS we will never be deceived for JESUS will never lie to us.

JESUS will let you also of the warning signs of what is in a person’s heart. JESUS will let us know when to avoid people and the troubles that they bring with them too.

Thank JESUS for being your guide and protector! We follow the laws and order of what GOD has for all mankind. So, those that are not doing that will always be found out.

1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Colossians 2:8 – Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:9 – Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

2 Timothy 3:13 – But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Romans 16:17-18 – Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.   

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,   

Matthew 7:21-23 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.   

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 – And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   

1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Titus 3:3-7 – For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.   

Galatians 6:7-9 – Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.   

Isaiah 59:1-2 – Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:   

Revelation 12:9 – And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Luke 21:6-9 – As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.   

2 Timothy 3:5 – Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Romans 1:26-27 – For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:   

Genesis 3:1 – Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Stay in prayer and know that our GOD IS ALWAYS PROTECTING YOU!

Peace and blessings ❤️

The mark of the beast.

Hello everyone, hope all of you are doing well.

Many of you celebrate halloween, but are you aware of it origin and meaning? This day of halloween is celebrated in the dark. The darkness of the with lies of manipulation thru temptations of candy, demons, witches, death and Graves. All to say this is just fun and just kids dressing up and getting some candy.

This is the total opposite of what our beloved JESUS stands for. JESUS is the way the truth and the light, the only way into heaven.

Some people mark their bodies with those halloween tattoos and make up. Mark their houses and office space with those halloween symbols of death.

When you see those halloween costume that people are wearing, they usually represent a demon. Tha clould

Ephesians 5:11 – And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians 4:27 – Neither give place to the devil.

1 Corinthians 10:21 – Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 – When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.   

Ephesians 5:6-12 – Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.   

1 Chronicles 10:13 – So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

Deuteronomy 18:9 – When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Acts 19:13-20 – Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

Romans 10:9 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Isaiah 5:20 – Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2 Corinthians 6:14 – 7:1 – Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

There is a obvious difference between GOD and the devil. If you are righteous you see it. There is no need to explain. But if you don’t follow JESUS Christ, you won’t.

It is better to leave what belongs to the devil alone. It is the mark of the beast.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Shein Hoodie

Hello everyone.

I do hope all is well and that you all will have a blessed day today.

Today when I had gone grocery shopping, I had worn my new hoodie. I had ordered it from @Shein.com. I have other t-shirts like to wear when I go out and about too. Some people will look. Some might not even notice. All are about GOD and JESUS.

But some will compliment it. Some may not notice it unless another person will. It is a good feeling to see a person who does love the LORD out in public besides yourself.

Giving honor and glory to our ever loving FATHER GOD. And to not ashamed of it either as you are passing the message and gospel.

The conversations are always uplifting. Praise to GOD and mentioning JESUS as our savior will give all a smile

Testifying just how awesome our beloved FATHER GOD is. People around you will stop talking at times to hear you both praise GOD.

Maybe there is at least one person that our testimony will prick their heart into salvation. To be saved and be allowed into heaven by our JESUS when it is their time.

I see many people wearing skull and crossbones, or even that halloween agenda. Images of demons or bloody words on their t-shirts. Images that people who love JESUS won’t wear.

Romans 1:16King James Version

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

This is my way of reminding others about our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS Christ. We are all living in the last days right now.

It is good to bring others who seek for an answer to give them the answer . The answer that JESUS is the way and the only way into heaven.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Loving thy neighbor like how JESUS would have done.

Hello everyone!

Today is a another day that our beloved Father GOD has given us to see. Praise and glory be to GOD.

In this world Past week the news has shown and reported us some horrible things. Out west from Colorado school shootings to taking the life of a political speaker in Utah. These shootings were done for whatever the reason the lost soul has done it in the state of mind he was in. I do not know why it was done in either situation.

The activist was taken out in front of a whole crowd of people. He was well known in his circles. He has claimed to be a Christian. Quoting scripture, saying the standard things about the sins people commit. Preaching the word of GOD defiantly.

But he did not love all of his neighbor’s as how he loved himself. He hated people who did not look like him on radio and in public. How can you say that you are a follower of JESUS and then speak racial slurs and hate in the same breath?

How can you be sincere about saying you love people. But then speak hate too. You can’t because that would have you to serve two masters. GOD who is pure good, the devil who is pure evil.

What are we supposed to do to serve out beloved FATHER GOD? Obey is order as best as you can with prayer and the love of JESUS our savior as our guide.

In regard to the racial remarks this late political speaker made, we forgive. We have to forgive so we can be forgiven as well too by our beloved JESUS. It is hard to forgive while you are angry at the moment of the incident. We choose then who we will serve then, our GOD and HIS laws and ways or satans. Satan is already in trouble and wants to take all humans with him to hell.

When we say we are Christians, we are saying we are followers of JESUS Christ. We need to represent our JESUS as best as we can with HIS help. We cant say racial slurs, disrespecting people because they do not look like us, or believing that we are superior to anyone who not the same skin color as we are. JESUS came for all people. ALL! No where did it say for whites only in the Bible that JESUS is only for the white people.

Luke 16:13

“No servant 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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

King James Version (KJV)

Peace and blessings.

GODS word is comforting.

Hello everyone.

Giving honor and glory to GOD ! Thank GOD for another day of life!

There are situations in life that are testing your patience and faith. That will be a distraction from your eyes remaining on our beloved FATHER GOD. Don’t give in!

Your finances may take a turn you didn’t expect be it good or bad. So the extra money you came across will be the exact amount of money to use to pay on a unexpected bill.

You didn’t have to borrow any money or use a credit card. The LORD was preparing you for what you needed. You just had to wait and see why you had this extra money.

Or you may not feel well. You were about and to call in sick for a day. Come to find out the power was shut off unexpectedly and every one was called not to come in anyway. This saved you from calling in sick.

If you are about to marry a person and things are not going smoothly in the wedding plans at all. You try to work through each situation that drops in front of your path. Then finally the door is shut by our LORD. No way will you be able to marry this person.

You find out that they are not who they say they are. Being deceitful and lying about very serious issues! You then need to call it off. Saving you a ton of grief that would mess you up for life.

GOD is good.

It is always good to listen to GOD. To pray. When you do pray listen for the answer. Obey. Our lives are too short to not listen and struggle with our own bad choices in life

You know from your own experience. When you didn’t listen, you wished thst you had. Those bad choices for a mate. When said to yourself you knew what you were doing. But you didn’t. Now that person left you with a broken heart.

So now today you are stronger and wiser in all you do. You learned that listening to GOD is the best choice you will ever have done.

Peace and blessings ❤️
